Jon Lester is human. There, I said it finally. It could be the dry desert sun or chalk it up to spring training fatigue, but yesterday, Jon Lester was bad.
Perhaps. Five runs on seven hits? Those aren't good odds, and that's all right. Lester has to get used to Castillo. It's not going to be easy, but the season is 162 games.
"I'd throw a pitch, throw it where I wanted, stay behind the ball, throw it well and two pitches later, I'm back to 2-1 or behind in the count, whatever the scenario was," Lester said. "Nothing today was crisp, things were flat, up in the zone. I was just not able to repeat and make pitches and minimize damage.
Isn't there an old saying that goes,"You learn more in defeat than in winning." so many people have put their own spin on that phrase. They should bottle that phrase and put it into the spring training definition. That's the mantra of Cactus/Grapefruit League.
This is the second time that Lester has worked with the Duke Welington Castillo.
"I'm the one chucking the ball," he said. "He's not."
Even though they say the Cubs could carry three catchers, I'm still thinking Castillo will be catching for another team.
Hey, maybe Lester should throw a learning curve ball? To be fair to the Cubs, the Padres are expected to do big things just like the Cubs, so if anyone is going to shake things up for the team, it's the Padres.
"I have a hard time stepping back and going, 'It's just Spring Training,'" he said. "The competitiveness and wanting to succeed is always there, whether it's now or October."
Today is St. Patrick's Day. The day St. Paddy drove the snakes out of Ireland, brought Christianity to it or sat down with a pint of Guinness. It all depends on your take of things but one thing I know is that today, everything is green in the baseball world.
From Green caps to clovers, it's a celebration of spring and baseball so pick your favourite game and enjoy a pint.
Believe it.

I'm back to blogging again after a short hiatus. I needed some down time as my day job is becoming quite demanding. Since I've been putting in a lot of work into it I want to dedicate today's post to all the survivors of domestic abuse.
I started working for a women's refuge three years ago and even still I'm often met with surprised statements such as "Wow, it must be so hard, I don't know how you do it" "Don't you get sad or upset when you're at work?" "You must be so strong".
The truth is, these women who are forced to choose between life and death, to leave everything they've ever known, their support networks and even precious belongings behind just to find safety are the strong ones. They have endured countless blows to their self-esteem and been made to feel worthless, yet something inside of them kept them going. Something in them rose up and spoke out, sometimes in just a whisper, but loud enough to be heard saying this is not right. I deserve more.
The most dangerous time for a woman fleeing an abusive situation is the moment she leaves. Not to mention the emotional stress that she must be going through. I've witnessed women have full on psychotic breakdowns, withdraw, or come in with the most horrific injuries. The thing they all have in common though is not the fear in their eyes behind all those tears welling up, no, it's that light within them, that voice that spoke out; it's hope.
Hope is what helped them get through the punches, the insults, the put downs and hope is what gets them to the refuge. By the end of 6 months, they're moving out and moving on with their lives. A small rose blooming in a concrete jungle, standing tall and reclaiming her beauty.
So to all those wondering, my answer is no. No I don't feel sad or sorry for the women who arrive at the door to come into refuge. Why? because they're survivors. Strong fearless women who are making the best decision of their lives. They just don't know it yet.

Hahahha!! This is great! I agree with Christink, humor like the comic above should make its way into the classroom. Not only does it serve as an ice breaker by minimizing the tension its shows the professor can make a joke out of their job. Thanks for sharing!

Car insurance Northern Ireland

Ask a question about car insurance
Car insurance costs in Northern Ireland
If you're looking for car insurance in Northern Ireland, you might already be aware that you could be paying more than in the rest of the UK.
The latest Confused.com car insurance price index shows the average comprehensive policy price for motorists in Northern Ireland is £959.
Car insurance is typically higher in NI than other regions in the UK. This is possibly because there are fewer insurers in the market compared to mainland UK. This brings competition down – resulting in higher prices.
The Northern Ireland Assembly released a Research and Library Service briefing paper about comparative car and home insurance costs in February 2011 to look into the reasons further. Some of the factors that they found were:
1. Northern Ireland has a relatively young population – young drivers are usually seen as 'high risk' and more likely to be involved in an accident.
2. The majority of roads are single-carriageway or rural roads.
3. Drivers travel greater distances compared to the rest of the UK.
4. Higher compensation payouts.
Faced with high insurance costs, it makes more sense than ever to shop around and compare a range of quotes. That's where we can help.
What else should I know about car insurance in Northern Ireland?
Other than the being more expensive than other areas of the UK, car insurance in in Northern Ireland is largely the same as in England, Scotland or Wales.
However, when it comes to picking a policy you may want to consider:
Crossing between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Do you live in a bordering county and it's a trip you regularly make? Or maybe you just happen to cross between NI and the Republic occasionally? Either way, you'll want to check whether your chosen policy covers you to drive there.
Some insurers may class the Republic of Ireland as abroad. If that's the case, you may need to look at taking out European car insurance separately for longer trips. Or just check with your prospective insurer how long your standard policy covers you for. Some insurers offer cover to drive in Europe for up to 30 days.
Insurance on car ferries
With ferries from England and Scotland regularly travelling to the ports of Larne and Belfast, it's pretty convenient to visit other parts of the UK.
However, if you plan to use one regularly or even just as a once-off, you'll want to check what level of cover the policy you're looking at includes. Make sure you're protected should you have an accident while you're boarding, on-board or disembarking.
Neither of these points should prevent you from finding insurance. But if they affect you, you'll want to make sure any policy you're looking at does what you need it to. If you're in any doubt, speak to the insurer or check the policy documents before buying.
How can I cut the cost of insurance?
When calculating car insurance premiums, there's a lot of factors taken into consideration – such as:
- the car you drive (more expensive and powerful cars can cost more to insure)
- where you live
- how you use your car. eg how many miles you drive a year
- your excess (how much you have to contribute if you make a claim)
- who's insured to drive your car
- your policy type. eg third-party or comprehensive
However, there are some ways you can help cut the cost of your car insurance:
- Don't renew your existing policy: Shop around using our car insurance comparison service, and you'll usually find a cheaper deal.
- Add an experienced driver as your named driver on the policy: This could bring costs down if you're spending less time behind the wheel. But don't lie! If the information you give isn't true, you risk a fine. It could also affect your chances of getting car insurance in the future.
- Black box insurance: This type of insurance can sometimes save you money. It monitors your driving skills to see if you're a safe driver and less of a risk. It can often be a good starting point for new or inexperienced drivers.
- No-claims bonus: Over time, if you drive safely, your premiums will benefit from lower rates.

MaxG IPL Laser
Our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) MaxG laser technology treats discoloration for a more even-looking appearance. This includes sun-damage such as freckles, brown spots, or age spots. The MaxG also addresses unwanted facial veins including broken blood vessels, spider veins and rosacea. This technology can be used on the face, neck, décolletage (upper chest), hands, or back. Optimal results seen with a series of three or more treatments.
1540 Fractional Laser
The Icon 1540 is a fractional, non-ablative laser for skin resurfacing and the treatment of surgical scars, acne scars and stretch marks. There are 2 different depths that can be tailored to treat the patient. Optimal results seen with a series of three or more treatments.
ThreeForMe Combined
Say goodbye to tired, dull skin – and hello to a brighter, younger-looking you!
Only the ThreeForMe treatment can address three common skin concerns – wrinkles, sun damage and facial veins – all within one procedure. To optimize your results, this process is repeated 3 times, each about 1 month apart. This new laser technology minimizes social downtime while maximizing results! Typically patients can expect 2 days of mild redness and swelling after the treatments, with the ability to wear makeup on post-procedure day 3.
The procedure is performed in two steps:
- The first step will use an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to treat discoloration for a more even-looking appearance. This includes sun-damage such as freckles, brown spots, or age spots. This step also addresses unwanted facial veins including broken blood vessels, spider veins and rosacea.
- The second pass will use a "microbeam" laser technology that will gently renew the skin for a smoother-looking appearance. This unique technology works by stimulating new collagen and elastin production – the keys to the support structure of our skin. Improved skin structure results in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and other surface imperfections.
We also can separately treat surgical or acne scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles on other areas of the body.
What to Expect from your Treatment:
You will see continued improvement in your skin's appearance during and after a course of 1-3 treatments, with visible results after each individual treatment. You may see results in facial veins immediately after the treatment along with a darkening of any brown spots. The spots will flake off over the next 1-3 weeks leaving you with a glowing appearance. lastly, you will see progressive results on any fine lines, wrinkles or scarring over the next 6 months as your skin naturally responds to the treatment. It's as easy as one, two, ThreeForMe. Schedule your consultation with us today!
Post-operative instructions
Frequently Asked Questions:
Icon laser treatments can be safely used on most skin types and for common aging and sun related skin conditions including wrinkles, sunspots and facial vessels during your consultation, Dr. Birchenough will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on a variety of personal factors.
A typical course of treatment involves 1-3 sessions at one month intervals, however, everyone skin conditions are different so Dr. Birchenough will customize the treatment for optimal results on your skin. We will discuss your specific treatment plan during the consultation.
During Icon treatments most people only feel minimal discomfort. During the treatment you may feel some mild cooling as the laser is guided over the treatment area along with a slight sensation similar to the snapping of a rubber band. Immediately after, the treatment area will feel warm for an hour or so. You may experience some minor redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn which resolves in a few days.
Treatments are quick and typically take about 30 minutes.
Typically, you can resume regular daily activities the same day as your treatment, although due to some redness and swelling you may experience a day or two of "social downtime."
Icon laser treatments are clinically proven to be safe and effective. The use of the Skintel Melanin Reader adds even more safety to the treatment- allowing us to offer you the safest treatment possible while still providing dramatic results.


text: I recently got an African Dwarf Frog. I keep it in a ten gallon tank with one female beta. I have heard that ADF's don't get to eat in community tanks because fish gobble it all up, but my beta isn't the problem. The pellet food I give my frog lands in front of him, but he just doesn't eat it. He completely ignores it. I tried everything to get him to eat the pellets but it hasn't worked. Do I just need to switch types of food? Thanks in advance for any help.

April 26, 2007: A PROPER HOMECOMING
Mom and Dad are due back from Greece tonight!! I can't even properly describe the elation, relief and anticipation I have in the matter!
I feel as if I've been whirling around and slowly drowning inside an emotional vacuum since they broke the news and left. I have such HOPE upon their return! It's like I can almost breathe again. I feel like once I can actually see them with my very own eyes it'll be like they are once again real and alive and by my side. I've felt such dark aloneness in their absence. I realize I'm losing Dad but I just experienced an earth-shattering view of what life would be like without them BOTH! My god, I've been so lucky having them around – 37 years of their support and involvement in my life. How blessed my life has been because of them, how enriched it's become with them helping weave the fabric of my life.
So, I guess, I'm grappling with the thought of… what becomes of me once their gone??? They have always been such a rock for me, the base from which everything for me has sprouted and grown. They are SUCH GOOD PEOPLE. I loose my breath when I think that someday they'll be gone. Someday, I'll be totally on my own.
I mean, geez, I'm married so it's not like I'm exactly all alone in my life. But I derive such peace from just knowing they're around, that I can call them up and involve them more deeply in my life at any moment. They have taken SUCH good care of me, as a child, a ridiculous rebellious adolescent, as an unmarried adult, even now. They always do whatever they can to ensure that I'm okay. They are some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
So, tonight they're back! And I want to welcome them home with outstretched arms and a marching band in their honor! Of course, I've settled for the largest bouquet of flowers I've ever bought (which I split the cost of with my brothers) – which I've secretly placed just inside their back door so it's the first thing they'll see when they walk in their house! I just want them to know that I am SO GRATEFUL they're home. That we can resume where we left off. That it's not over.

Smartly attired in a black sequined blouse and plain skirt, speaker Nandini Bhatt opened her lecture by asking how many people in the audience were attending Grace Hopper for the first time. Several attendees raised their hands. "I was you last year," Nandini said with a smile. I was impressed that even though this was only her second time at Grace Hopper, she was a speaker!
Nandini shared the following inspirational quote:
On the last day of your life, the person you became will meet the person you could have become. — Anonymous
How's that for pressure? Time's a-wasting so we'd better get started! Nandini explained that minimalism has its earliest origins in art and music. The simplest, fewest elements create maximum effect. She also reviewed the Pareto principle: 80% of the results come from 20% of the cost (paraphrased).
Nandini is a mother of two young boys. With her second son, she experienced an onset of post-partum depression. She needed to do something to regain mental health and general happiness. Her friend suggested a book about minimalism. Nandini discovered research that stated
- Mothers' stress hormones spiked during the time they spent dealing with belongings and stuff
Nandini showed us a picture of her living room and explained that when she eliminated the non-essentials, she found herself feeling freer, calmer and happier. This reminded me of Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Kondo recommends asking the following question of each item, "Does it spark joy?" If not, discard it. Of course, this also reminds me of the TV series Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life. Emily Gilmore, the grandmother, has recently buried her husband of several decades. One day, her adult daughter finds her disposing of everything in her massive home. She demands to know why her mother is giving her evening gowns to the maid. Emily says, "They didn't bring me joy." Eventually, Lorelai gently explains to her mother, "Mom, nothing is going to bring you joy right now. You just lost your husband." Decluttering has its limits in the face of extreme emotional trauma.
Back to regular life. Nandini elaborated that she used to buy her sons several toys in order to make up for the guilt she felt over "not being there". Her focus is now on creating memories and experiences for her children. I found this very touching.
Nandini explained that mindfulness calms the amygdala. With practice, you can have a less reactive amygdala. Nandini outlined a 3-step approach:
- Find Your Why
- Focus on 3 Things That Bring You Joy (hello Ms. Kondo!)
- Get Rid of Stress-Inducers at Work
Nandini quoted Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich. "When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve them." She encouraged us to focus on our purpose in life. What do we really want out of our time on this planet?
For step 2, Nandini outlined a 3 step approach:
- Focus on becoming the best version of you. 90 days; 90 minutes; 1 important task nothing else. For the next 90 days, spend 90 minutes doing 1 important task and nothing else. Nandini also recommended cultivating a gratitude mindset. Ask yourself, "What am I thankful for?" The answer could be something as seemingly minor as "My son hugged me today."
- Focus on making your job interesting. It is easy to fixate on why your job is dull, boring and meaningless. Even the most interesting jobs can seem this way sometimes. To infuse new energy, celebrate even the tiniest wins. Also, remind yourself of why you accepted this role in the first place.
- Focus on creating a work family. There has been a lot of humor tossed about regarding a person's "work wife" or "work husband". This is essentially the individual's go-to person: a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board and someone with whom to share successes. Going beyond the spousal humor, create a work family of individuals who resonate with you. Go out for lunch together; have team building events; share photos. Nandini took this opportunity to state that one of her priorities is having dinner with her family so she does not do evening team events or networking. She is happy to cultivate professional connections over breakfast and lunch. This is a theme that I heard throughout the conference. Diane Boettcher also emphasized the importance of dinner with family and the decision to network at breakfast and lunch.
The next step is to identify 3 things of which to let go. These are items that add:
- clutter
- stress
- no value!
1) Let go of becoming someone else
- Be true to yourself
- Think of yourself as a market niche
- You cannot please the entire market so don't change yourself!
2) Let go of saying "yes" all the time
- Be strategic about saying "yes"
- Say "yes" to things that meet your career goals
3) Let go of "office politics"
- Cease worrying about how others perceive you
- Say "no" to gossip!
- Focus on doing your best work
The goal is not to change who you are but to become more of your best self.
Recap: Nandini's hope for the audience is that they will take one step today. "You can make a change but will it be one day or will today be Day One?" Take one small step today. Identify your why, identify one thing that brings you joy and identify one thing you can let go of.
Nandini's talk was extremely well-received and the audience gave her a prolonged and enthusiastic round of applause. Very well done for a first-time GHC speaker!

-Goal Area: receptive language, attention span, energy release, socialization
-Objective: Children will follow directions of lyrics. There are TWO versions here. One is a standing circle dance and the other a seated movement activity. Both are below.
-Materials: Song and children. An area to perform a circle dance. Toy leprechaun (as a visual.)
-Method: Review each motion with the children. Sing and perform the motion one sentence at a time until all have joined in. String the motions and sentences together and encourage all to move together.
-Adaptations: Perform one movement and ask the children to label the motion. Then, ask the children to tell you what comes next. This helps improve expressive language and sequencing/memory skills. Once the children know the song, sing it increasingly fast and quietr. Experiment with loud, soft, fast and slow but be sure to end peacefully!
-Submitted by: Margie La Bella of music therapy tunes.
-Melody-Words and chords:
Tune: The Irish Wash woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS3J-rHpuag
Seated version:
Clapping like a leprechaun. Round and around and around and on.
Tap your knees and give a squeeze. The leprechaun is going to sneeze!
aaaaahhhchoooo! ( This activity is a lot of stimulation. I usually repeat it several times going faster and quieter each time. I also ask the kids what comes next. And they always know!)
Jumpin' like a leprechaun around and around and around and on.
Slide your feet and point your toe. St. Patrick's day is near (here) you know.
Hands held high. Hand held low. Hands in the middle and round you go.
Let go of hands and site on the floor. Quiet down as you were before.
(1 2 3 4. 1 2 3 4. 1 2 3 4 stand up as you were before. )
Please send in any activities or musical processes that you use with children, adolescents or adults of all ages and abilities. These could be activities for use for kids, adolescents or adults that have autism, adhd, add, down's / down syndrome, speech language delays, oral-motor issues, physical disabilities, mental health issues, conduct disorder, cerebral palsy and other issues that we human have to contend with. I'm also interested in any activities for people dealing with health issues, dementia, Alzheimer's, chemical dependency, other addictions, grief, cancer, pain management and any other life issue. I have just installed a "spam" locator which means that I'll actually get the mail as mail. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and put activity in the subject line.

British and Comparative Political Economy
Political economy has taken on a renewed importance within British political science since the financial crisis. The British and Comparative Political Economy Specialist Group aims to bring together a network of political economists conducting research into the political economy of Britain, or comparative political economy encompassing the study of Britain in an international context. Political economy is defined in broad terms, as a form of analysis which recognises that the political and economic dimensions of social life are comprehensively intertwined, and that neither can be satisfactorily understood without the other.
The Specialist Group organises panels at the PSA annual conference, and regular workshops that reflect our research interests. It prioritises the provision of a national dissemination platform for early career researchers and doctoral students, and, as such, seek ideas for panel and workshop topics from younger members in the first instance. It is currently convened by founding convenors Craig Berry and Jeremy Green, alongside James Wood. The group's deputy convenor is Scott Lavery, and the other committe members are Hannah Petersen, Sean McDaniel and Tom Barker.
Objectives of the Group
- To promote and advance the study of British and comparative political economy on a national and international basis.
- To facilitate discussion on the nature and future of political economy as a form of analysis.
- To boost dialogue between existing networks of political economists whose scholarship focuses on Britain, or comparative analysis involving Britain.
- To foster and encourage collaborative research on British and comparative political economy.
- To provide a national platform for the work of early career researchers and doctoral students specialising in British and comparative political economy.
The Specialist Group welcomes any scholar researching the characteristics of, and outcomes from, political and economic structures in Britain – including policy-making processes – from a political economy perspective.

Check out all the details and prize info over at the Verve Blog. Below is the list of those participating in this month's hop.
Since pink and green is a favorite colour combo of mine which I haven't used it for a while, it was time to rectify that issue. Once on a favorites roll, I decided to add a few more: polka dots, a heart (Wavy Hearst Die) and a butterfly. The sentiment is from Words of Wisdom and I just love it because it is so true! Life is about your attitude and is so much better when you appreciate and are thankful for what you have rather than pining away for what you wish you had or how things could be different. So, this card brings me a whole lot of happy :)

For Now
This is a shot of four Texas Rangers waiting for the train to arrive. On the train are a dangerous outlaw coming to face justice, the Indian who's been hunting him for decades, and a freshly minted lawyer. One of these Texas Rangers is the lawyer's brother. But you don't need to know any of that to be struck by this image, do you? It's glorious. It makes me want to write thirty different stories all at once. I can only look at it for a little bit before I'm overcome by this whirlwind of crazy emotions and ideas and... yeah, now I'm way over my time limit. Better just post this and head to the chuck wagon.

Oh, yes, it IS a great photo, and I can see that it could readily inspire all sorts of imaginings and stories.ReplyDelete
I understand the backlog you are in. I've got to write 3 movies reviews, a birthday post for Claudette Colbert, and an article for Femnista. In the midst of that, I'm trying to learn a new genealogical software program, prepare for a garage sale, and read some of the Gish blogathon entries. I SO need more time!
Enjoy lunch with your little ones.Replies
Lunch was good, thanks!Delete
I had a garage sale a couple of months ago -- I pity you! SO much work. On the other hand, I made a nice chunk of change and got rid of so much stuff we don't need, so yay.
Good luck getting all your posts done! I kind of wish I didn't keep having such good ideas for more things for my blog party, as it's kind of eating up my spare time -- but I want to get as much done ahead of time in case someone gets sick or something.
Not to mention Dan is leeeaaannnnnning oh so nicely. It is a fabulous picture.ReplyDeleteReplies
Uh-huh. So's one of the other rangers. Wait until the big version hits you right between the eyes!Delete
Also, all of them are wearing pants that look to be about 8 inches too long. Cracks me up.

Baking Industry Expert
I began my long career within the baking industry at 15, gaining the relevant qualifications and experience through an apprenticeship. Starting in the plant baker sector, I then moved into the craft artisan area of the trade. When the supermarket 'in-store bakery' started to emerge in the early 80's, I was able to integrate, whilst also having my own bakery business in between all these areas of the trade.
Over the last 32 years of my working life, I was involved in the ingredient supplier side of the industry, working for the German company IREKS GmbH as their UK National Sales Manager. This role required me to travel throughout the UK and Ireland, responsible for sales and marketing, demonstrations/presentations and recruiting of sales staff.
I represented the company at most of the European trade exhibitions and at the NEC many times, also including the American Bakery Fair. I am a member of the BCA, BSB and a past president of the ABST. I have also judged many times in the past at various events – despite being retired now – I'm sure if you ask within the industry there will be a few people that can vouch for my credentials!

Drinking untreated water has more drawbacks than the price tag.
Is drinking "raw water" a great way to get beneficial minerals and microbes removed by filtration—or do people who pay $15 a gallon for untreated water have more money than sense? The subject has been hotly debated since a New York Times story last week looked at people—many of them wealthy Silicon Valley residents—who are "[getting] off the water grid." Some collect water from springs themselves; some buy from companies like Live Water, which charges almost $40 for a 2.5 gallon jug and $15 for refills; and others have installed expensive systems to collect water from the air.
One big fan is Doug Evans, who says he lived on Live Water for 10 days after his Juicero company, which sold a much-mocked $700 juicer, collapsed a few months ago. "I'm extreme about health, I know, but I'm not alone with this," he told the Times.
Evans and other proponents argue that "raw water" is healthier than regular water, which they see as tainted by chemicals like fluoride. Live Water founder Mukhande Singh claims fluoride is a "mind-control drug" and describes public water as "toilet water with birth control drugs in them." Opponents, of which there are many, warn that drinking untreated, unfiltered water can be extremely dangerous because it could contain the viruses, bacteria, and parasites that filtration removes.
"It's fine till some 10-year-old girl dies a horrible death from cholera in Montecito, California," food safety expert Bill Marler tells Business Insider. He adds: "You can't stop consenting adults from being stupid. But, we should at least try."

Edsby Refines Learning Management System with Learning Analytics: Interview with Dallas Kachan, VP of Marketing
Is it possible for parents, educators, and the district to have real-time insight into their students' progress? According to Dallas Kachan, Vice President of Marketing for Edsby, a cloud-based platform for K-12 students, the answer is a resounding yes.
"For the first time, teachers and district administrators and even school principals can understand exactly what's happening to the children under them," he said after announcing the introduction of learning analytics, the newest piece in the Edsby equation. Kachan explains the necessity of real-time evaluations of students' progress, and how Edsby can help identify at-risk students by finding outliers.
Edsby seeks to revolutionize access to learning data, making it easy and efficient for parents and teachers to identify issues in the here and now. The successor to "First Class," another widely-used platform for education, Edsby hopes to use the data collected by its predecessor in order to become both customizable and localizable. With the introduction of Edsby's analytics, Kachan hopes to develop the role of the parent in guiding their children's education.
"When you're whizzing down the highway, it does no good to you to see a sign that says 'cheap gas, ten miles ago,'" said Kachan. "You want to see, in real-time, risk factors."
Listen to the full interview with Dallas Kachan:
EdTech Times: Hi, this is Hannah Nyren with EdTech Times, and if you would introduce yourself…
Dallas: Sure, Dallas Kachan, Edsby.
EdTech Times: Nice. So, tell us a little about Edsby and what you all are working on.
Dallas: So, Edsby is a learning-management system built specifically for K-12.
EdTech Times: Okay.
Dallas: Most learning management systems come from the world of higher ed, or built for university use. Edsby was created from day one to give K-12 teachers and schools and districts exactly what they need, and a big part of that is parents, understanding parents and the role of the parent in guiding a child's education. That's completely absent in the world of higher ed, whereas parents are a very important part of the Edsby world.
EdTech Times: Right, so how do you get in contact with parents? How do parents give you feedback?
Dallas: Well, most districts offer a database of parents. When we start working with the district they usually know who the parents are of their kids, but not always. So sometimes we have to offer a self-service way to connect authenticated parents to their actual kids through an automatic way so the school district can build its database of parents in the first place. But most of them already know who the parents are.
EdTech Times: So, tell me about what developments you're working on right now that may be released within the next twelve months or so.
Dallas: Well, I can tell you what we have to talk about today. And today we are happy to announce a new piece of the Edsby equation, we are introducing new, advanced analytics for—learning analytics—for the Edsby platform.
So, for the first time teachers and district administrators and even school principals can understand exactly what's happening to the children under them and their progress, their academic status and progress, and find in real time the outliers, the "at-risk kids," say, and take advantage of the full permissions and privileges system we've already built out in Edsby. So, today, districts usually have to use complicated, expensive data warehouses to try to assemble all their information once a quarter, say, and slice-and-dice it in creative ways and generate reports, and there might be one or two highly-paid people in the district that can use this system and understand how to make it work.
Today, with this new Edsby analytics announcement, we're able to offer teachers in-depth insight into the kids they teach, right now, today, and as kids come and go, they can see information on these children as well. Likewise, principals that are give students can now understand what's happening to kids in their school and only their school, whereas people at a district-level might have insight into real-time grades, assessment, and attendance on every child in the district without the six-month or three-month lag of the data warehouse approach. So, real-time insights.
EdTech Times: That's incredibly valuable, and very much sought after in this day and age. No one wants to deal with the hassle of doing it the old way anymore.
Dallas: Well, when you're whizzing down the highway, it does no good to you to see a sign that says "cheap gas, ten miles ago." You wanna see, in real-time, risk factors. You want to see children that are struggling today as opposed to six months ago. And Edsby enables that now.
EdTech Times: Great. So, how long has Edsby been around? I know that, you know, it's gained some traction, but when was it founded?
Dallas: The company got started in 2010. The company's previous product… The management team has been together thirty years, and twenty-five years ago we released a product called "First Class," which was an email and groupware system, very very popular in K-12 around the world, and eight of the ten top districts in the U.S. used First Class.
Edsby is the next generation of First Class, it is a successor to a very very popular, widely used platform of education. And so, the team that brought you First Class has spent a lot of time, over twenty years, learning what educators need, and what will make things simpler in the classroom. And, has, introduced with Edsby, a brand new way, a brand new killer application for K-12 education that teachers and administrators live in the whole day, doing everything from assessments to report card work flow to parent-teacher meeting/conference scheduling to attendance.
Edsby's the application that teachers in a given district that use Edsby will spend their whole day in this application.
EdTech Times: Great. So are there any other points that you would specifically like to address for our audience?
Dallas: Well, there are three big things that separate Edsby from similar systems. The first, our platform does a great job with tacking to whatever a district happens to use in the way of back-end systems, whether it's a custom SIS, student information system, or whether it's an HR database where some employee information lives, or database of IEPs, or potentially standardized test results. Edsby connects us to all this information, in places that teachers and administrators haven't normally been able to access.
Second of all, Edsby has been written specifically for K-12, so it understands what a parent is, and the parent's relationship to students, whereas other learning management systems that come from higher ed don't necessarily.
And thirdly, Edsby's extremely customizable and localizable, so school districts all do things very very different than the next district. One district's terminology may not apply to another district's terminology; they all have separate assessment schemes and grading schemes. Edsby recognizes this and can be customized to work the way a district works today as opposed to the other way around. A district doesn't have to change its policies and processes to fit Edsby. Similarly, whatever grading scheme your district happens to have standardized and blessed can easily be implemented in Edsby so that the parents see the kids graded the way the district needs them to be seen and so the report card can use the same mechanism your district uses today.
EdTech Times: Wow. So that's really interesting. You're a part of the original founding team? And then you left and came back?
Dallas: That's right. And so it's the same core group that brought First Class to the world that's bringing Edsby to the world. And we're all in our 40s and 50s with gray hair and we've done this before, so in theory that means something. We've had a chance to work in this market for many years and learned what it takes to build a piece of enterprise software that's sold at the district level, and maybe that's a useful distinction that many other management systems offer a free login—an easy way for teachers to log in and kick the tires to the system—because Edsby relies on the back ends systems of a district we've got no way to let the teachers create a free account and poke around. A district has to deploy this from the top down and push it out to everybody in the district before it will work. Our system doesn't work unless it talks to the district's back ends systems. So what that means—
EdTech Times: It can be a little bit difficult relying on the districts to give all the teachers access.
Dallas: Yeah, and that means that we have to do the traditional software sales process. It means we can't throw open the doors and let people try it out for free. It means we have to talk to the people that hold the purse strings of the district and sometimes that takes a year or two for them to make that decision.
EdTech Times: Right. Which is a common hurdle in K-12.
Dallas: Some Silicon Valley Venture funded companies have been trying to rethink and reinvent that process by offering a "free-mium" model, so to speak. And with mixed success, as you've seen, there are more and more carcasses of companies that have failed to monetize their models. So I think time will tell whether this is a sustainable way to build a company at EdTech, but my suspicion is that companies that charge upfront fair price for a fair product will continue to be the way that this is done in K-12.
EdTech Times: Well, let's hope so. That would be great to see more companies that offer the value that you really are looking for.
Dallas: Yeah, and that boards and districts and teachers continue to pay for that value rather than expecting that that is going to come for free.
EdTech Times: Well, thank you for speaking with me today, Dallas. I have learned a lot about Edsby. I would normally ask you a lot more questions, but I feel like everyone has a million people to talk to today. I would love to stay posted with everything that you guys are pushing out in the upcoming months. And it was great meeting with you.
Dallas: Yeah, likewise.

The Buzz: Hilton Tucson El Conquistador, Cañada Course: This is one place where you might like to bring along a camera, because with its saguaro-capped hillsides, natural desert terrain and spectacular views of the Santa Catalina mountain range from nearly every hole, the Cañada Course is as scenic as it is challenging.
It is among three courses (45 holes) offered by the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Resort, all of which were designed by Greg Nash and Jeff Hardin. It looks and plays a little more rugged than the resort's signature Conquistador Course, and is something of a paradox with its desert design yet parkland feel. Cañada is the Spanish word for canyon, and this layout winds among forests of mesquite trees with natural terrain that snakes through ravines and arroyos, providing several natural hazards. Considerable mounding, doglegs and elevation changes are prominent in this varied layout, placing a premium on strategy and club selection. By no means is this a driver-and-wedge course.
Its signature hole is the eighth hole and is considered one of the toughest par 3s in the Tucson area. It plays at 183 yards from the back tee, overlooking the city and is bordered by desert on both sides with a green well guarded by a large bunker in front.
The back nine starts strong with a 453-yard par 4 that has a desert wash running down the entire right side and some strategically placed mesquite trees on the left in the primary landing area. For most, the approach requires a well-struck long iron to a narrow, elevated green. Perhaps the most memorable hole is the 16th, a risk-reward par 5, where a wash cuts across the fairway 260 yards from the tee. If you manage to clear it, the green is reachable on your second shot, provided you carry it over a large pond. There also are a couple deceptive holes, such as the third, a 380-yard par 4 that will play at least a club longer than you think to an uphill green, and the eighth, also an uphill shot to a 183-yard par 3 to a sloping green protected by bunkers.
The par-72 layout has four sets of tees, ranging from 5,093 to 6,626 yards, and overall has more character than Conquistador. From the tips, it is rated at 72 with a slope of 135.
If you're lucky enough to stay at this Hilton resort, you are in for a rare treat. El Conquistador includes five restaurants; two lounges; four pools; 31 tennis courts; basketball court; seven racquetball courts; volleyball court; two exercise rooms; three Jacuzzis, saunas; bike rentals; horseback riding and a 143-foot water slide that is pure fun. Sunsets are fantastic and most guest rooms are built around a central courtyard with manicured lawns and a large oasis of swimming pools. All rooms feature Southwestern-influenced contemporary furniture, spacious marble bathrooms, and balconies or patios. Be sure to ask for a mountain-view room so you can take a lasting look at the scenery that dazzled you during your round.
And if you need a warm-up before you head over to the Conquistador Course, tee it up on the Pusch Ridge Course, which surrounds the resort and is among the most scenic nine holes you will find in Arizona.
Before hitting the tee, try the Sundance Café coffee shop with a Southwestern buffet-style breakfast. For dinner, the Last Territory Steak House serves cowboy-style steaks, seafood and chicken. Country singers and saloon-style cancan shows also are popular with resort guests.
If you are up for adventure, Pusch Ridge has an extensive trail network and is highly popular with nature lovers. Be advised that water is scarce in these primitive surroundings.

A railway station, train station, depot, or depot could be a railway facility or space wherever trains frequently stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It usually consists of a minimum of one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such adjuvant services as price tag sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it usually contains a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The littlest stations are most frequently cited as "stops" or, in some elements of the planet, as "halts" (flag stops). Go here https://davidhodgett.com.au for more information about shadow minister for roads.
Stations could also be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections could also be out there to across rail lines or alternative transport modes like buses, trams or alternative mass rapid transit systems.
The oldest renowned, man/animal-hauled railways date from to the sixth century BC in port, Greece. Rail transport then commenced in middle sixteenth century in Deutschland within the sort of horse-powered funiculars and wagon ways. Trendy rail transport commenced with British development of the steam locomotives within the early nineteenth century. Therefore the line in nice kingdom is that the oldest within the world. Designed by businessman man of affairs and his son Robert's company Robert Stephenson and Company, the Locomotion No. one is that the initial engine to hold passengers on a public route, the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825. Stephenson additionally designed the primary public inter-city railway line within the world to use solely the steam locomotives all the time, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway that opened in 1830. With steam engines, one may construct inject railways, that were a key element of the commercial Revolution. Also, railways reduced the prices of shipping, and allowed for fewer lost product, compared with water transport, that round-faced occasional sinking of ships. The modification from canals to railways allowed for "national markets" within which costs varied little or no from town to town. The unfold of the railway network and also the use of railway timetables, diode to the standardization of your time (railway time) in kingdom supported borough time unit. Before this, major cities and cities varied their time relative to time. The invention and development of the railway within the uk was one amongst the foremost vital technological inventions of the nineteenth century. The world's initial Underground Railroad, the railway station Kilsyth (part of the London Underground), opened in 1863.
Rail transport could be a suggests that of transferring of passengers and product on wheeled vehicles running on rails, additionally referred to as tracks. It's additionally usually cited as train transport. In distinction to road transport, wherever vehicles run on a ready flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally radio-controlled by the tracks on that they run. Tracks sometimes carries with it steel rails, put in on ties (sleepers) and ballast, on that the wheeled vehicle, sometimes fitted with metal wheels, moves. Alternative variations also are potential, like block track, wherever the rails are fixed to a concrete foundation resting on a ready submersed.
People will move to distance places by catching a train from the train station. The train station helps U.S. to return across individuals of various provinces, sporting completely different costumes, and speaking completely different languages. Here we have a tendency to additionally see varied sights and gain abundant worldly expertise.
The train station wears a deserted look once all the trains have left. Then there's a lull for a few time. At train-time the station begin to hum with life once more. This goes on forever. It's the regular feature of a train station.

Half of the times, when we go to a restaurant, the names in the menu are confusing enough for us to take a decision. To add on to that we are not sure about the quantity of the food we are ordering.

30 Years at NHEHS!
This week we have been celebrating the 30th anniversary of Junior School Head, Mrs Silva, joining NHEHS.
Mrs Silva led a lively and joyful assembly for the Junior School this morning, sharing her personal memories and photographs of the school, uniforms, teaching staff and activities over the years she has been at NHEHS.
It was striking to see how the school has continued to invest in facilities for pupils, but that photos of yesterday and today have one thing in common that never changes – the presence of happy, confident girls who really enjoy learning at school.
The assembly ended with a resounding three cheers – one per decade – for Mrs Silva!

Creating paper Pom Pom Bows will be the project at the next Papers and Pixels Club meeting in Mesquite. It will be taught by our member Clar. This bow was created using decorator (and plain paper) and following a tutorial for creating a Circular Sentiment that is found inside the Digital Scrapper Premier collection of kits and tutorials for February. The Circular Sentiment is made in Photoshop. The flourishes I used for the bow are Madera Corner a Memory Box (98237) die. I will add some hearts and some glitter accents to this bow before it becomes a package topper
This little box is created (easypeasy) with the We R MemoryKeepers Envelope Punch Board. You can run out these little boxes in under a minute! Punch/score fold--glue dots--you're done! The matching teeny box topper paper pom pom bow was fun for this one.

Royal Enfield Trials: All We Know So Far
Modified On Mar 27, 2019 By Alpesh Rajpurohit for Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350
Royal Enfield is coming up with two Classic-based scrambler motorcycles, the Trials 350 and Trials 500. Here's everything you need to know about these upcoming bikes.
- Royal Enfield will launch the Trials on March 27.
- The Trials 350 and the Trials 500 will be based on RE's Classic range.
- Both motorcycles will get dual-purpose tyres.
- We expect a premium of around Rs 10,000 over their respective Classic variants.
Last year, Royal Enfield launched two all-new 650cc motorcycles, the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT. And both of these quickly became popular amongst motorcycle enthusiasts. However, for this year, the Chennai-based bikemaker is not looking at all-new motorcycles, at least yet. It will instead give us two motorcycles based on their existing Classic range - the Trials 350 and the Trials 500. Inspired from the Trials motorcycle that the company used to sell during the 50's, Royal Enfield will launch the modern avatars of these scramblers on March 27. But before we get our hands on the bikes for a full review, here's what we know about the upcoming Royal Enfield scramblers.
1 - Will be based on Royal Enfield's Classic range:
Royal Enfield's Classic range works like a blank canvas when it comes to modification. So, presumably taking inspiration from customers customising their motorcycles, Royal Enfield thought of launching these two 'factory customs' of sorts. The bikemaker did make a few changes over the standard Classic models though. What we can determine from the teaser is that the Trials feature an upswept exhaust pipe and the fenders at both the ends are different from the standard Classic's. Although the 19/18-inch wheel setup remains the same as the standard Classic models, RE has fitted the Trials with dual-purpose tyres.
2 - Same engine as the Classic 350 and the Classic 500:
The upcoming scrambler will be offered in two variants: Trials 350 and Trials 500. Expect these to be powered by the same engines as their as the Classic range. While the 346cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor churns out 20PS of power and 28Nm of torque, the 499cc motor produces 27.6PS of power and 41.3Nm of torque. Both engines come paired to five-speed gearboxes.
3 - Likely to be a single-seater; will borrow some parts from other Royal Enfields as well:
Royal Enfield played it smart with the teaser of the Trials. The 15-second clip didn't shed light on most of the areas, but we did find out some interesting details about the upcoming Trials. For instance, it misses out on a pillion seat, and instead sports a luggage rack. The headlamp unit and the 3D "Royal Enfield" badge on the tank are the same as what we've seen on the Interceptor 650.
4 - Price:
We expect that both the Trials variants will command a premium of around Rs 10,000 over the models on which they are based, bringing the prices to around Rs 1.6 lakh and Rs 2.1 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the Trials 350 and 500 respectively. It is entirely possible that Royal Enfield might price these two bikes a bit more, considering that there aren't any 'scramblers' available at that price point. Quite literally, the next motorcycle of this type needs a big jump up to the Ducati Scrambler 800.
Our first ride review will be out soon after we ride these new baby scramblers on March 27.

That is why there are multiple 2015 Toyota Trucks in Auburn to choose from including the popular Tacoma and the more powerful Tundra. Both trucks have the looks, power, and features to please you.
2015 Toyota Trucks Power
When you are searching for a truck, the first thing people really look into is the proven power and what it is under the hood. Even if you want a smaller truck than a full-sized one, power is still very important. The first truck is the Tacoma and it can come with one of two engines. The first one is a 2.7L 4-cylinder which gives you 180 lb-ft of torque.

The first one is a 4.6L is packed with tech to help churn out 310 hp and 327 lb-ft of torque. This is also mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission. If you are looking for something bigger, take a look at the 5.7L V8 that can get an even better 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque.
Design of the 2015 Toyota Trucks in Auburn
No matter what 2015 Toyota Trucks in Auburn you are looking at, they both have something completely different to offer. The Tacoma and Tundra trucks by Toyota are designed differently in many ways. First, the Tacoma truck is built to look more modern as well as sporty while the Tundra was designed to look aggressive and powerful. This is because that is what those trucks offer.

Oh dear, oh dear. Tut, tut.
It seems, due to my novice skill in the set up, that the giveaway has ended a day early. I apologize for those who've missed out! But I'm afraid if I started it up again, I would lose entries, and I don't want to take the chance. . .
So, winners will still be announced tomorrow!!! Be on the lookout.
Not sure if I mentioned this, but the first random winner will have the first choice of the prizes, the second next, and you know. :] Best of luck to you all!
A HUGE thank you to all the participants. I couldn't have done this without you! You have made this a great week!
Happy Friday!

Video transcript
Do you have any beauty hacks, energy saving beauty hacks?
I have a few, I don't know if they're so mind-blowing. But definitely concealer is a must, I think for anyone, especially someone with MS, I always have dark circles. Yves Saint Laurent makes Touche Éclat, which I think with MS you should not be without. Mascara, I think, is a must that you should always, at least if you're not doing a complete beauty routine, have the main staples like mascara, lip gloss. I think as a mum when you're doing a school run, I do like sunglasses and lip gloss and I find it's like a Hollywood mums' look and it works really well. But I think just staying healthy from within, drinking plenty of water, all this kind of thing. I have done eyelash extensions as well, which actually saved me a lot of time in the mornings, so that might be something. It's a bit expensive, but something interesting to look into, and it's also a couple of hours of pampering whilst you're having them put in.
Cool. My answer to that would be very, very short, so it would just be don't sweat the small stuff, whatever makes you feel good, go for it, but probably just don't spend too much time worrying about it.

American Gods Episode 7
This episode opens with the tale of how Mad Sweeney, the Leprechaun, came to America. He is brought to America by the faith of an Irish girl, who had grown up with tales of the fey folk and brought them with her. This Irish girl becomes an accomplished thief, all the while leaving offerings for … Continue reading American Gods Episode 7
American Gods Episode 6
This is the episode where everything starts to come together. We see the man who encountered the Djinn in episode 3(Salim) meet up with Laura and Mad Sweeney(the Leprechaun). Which is setting aside the one fear I had that things were happening for sensationalist purposes, with no thought to plot. I'm also enjoying the banter … Continue reading American Gods Episode 6
American Gods Episode 5
This episode picks up right where the last ended. Shadow walks into his hotel room to find his dead wife Laura waiting for him. It is thematically darker than the previous episode, albeit with far less gore or violence. It is less sexually charged as well. Shadow and Laura have a pretty interesting conversation. He's … Continue reading American Gods Episode 5
American Gods Episode 4 – The Prequel Episode
If you can't guess from the title, this episode is a prequel of sorts to the first episode. It begins with Shadow's wife Laura just before they met. She is working in a dead-end job as a dealer in the local casino, living a life with no meaning. Before meeting Shadow she even attempts suicide. … Continue reading American Gods Episode 4 – The Prequel Episode
American Gods: Episode 3
Three episodes in and I'm still enjoying the series. The two leads continue to be solid, and we are finally starting to get a sniff of what Mr Wednesday might actually be planning. Gods and supernatural beings continue to be introduced(some more graphically than others), and I'm getting more and more curious as to how … Continue reading American Gods: Episode 3
American Gods Episode 2
I enjoyed the first episode, so I decided to watch the second as well. It opens in the cargo hold of a slave ship, with a slave praying to his God, Anansi, to save him. Anansi, portrayed by Orlando Jones shows up and quickly riles up the slaves and has them kill their captors and … Continue reading American Gods Episode 2
American Gods: How the First Episode Stands up.
I'll start by saying I loved the book. It is one of my favourite reads by Neil Gaiman. As such, I was pretty excited to see this adaptation. By the way, if you haven't read the book, do so, it's damn good. The show has had a fair amount of buzz, from the negativity surrounding … Continue reading American Gods: How the First Episode Stands up.
