Well, all the graduates in the Rumson-Fair Haven area have officially walked that walk.
One of those walks was the one of tradition in which Fair Haven eighth grade graduation tradition of grads take a walk back in time down Third Street from Knollwood School, where it all ended, to Viola L. Sickles School, where their Fair Haven schooling all began.
Some things have changed in Fair Haven. One of those things is the name of the elementary school and its days of not always being elementary.
Sickles, for a long time, was known as Willow Street School. There were times when attending Sickles was a matter of where you lived in the borough, not your grade. Then there were the days of everyone starting at Knollwood, going to Sickles (or Willow Street) for fifth and sixth grades and then back to Knollwood to wind up the middle school experience and graduate.
On thing has remained a constant, though: students' love of and loyalty to learning in their hometown. That loyalty is on full display on the walk after eighth grade graduation.
Back in 1946, though, while love of and loyalty to a Fair Haven hometown was strong among students, as they say to this day with fervor, eighth graders graduated from what was Willow Street School (now Sickles).
Forever Fair Havenite Jane Croft was there in the 1940s and has shared her graduating class photo with us.
Take a look. Recognize any of these longtime Fair Havenites?
Congrats to the Knollwood Class of 2019!

Not too long ago, being a vegetarian in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was seen as an embarrassing affliction. Invitations to the key ritual of Argentine social life — the weekend asado — dried up as both you and your hosts tired of that awkward moment when they remembered that you don't eat meat. Weekday lunches and dinner time restaurant forays also got old. Let's not even talk about being vegan.
Things have changed in recent years though; green is the new pink, organic is booming, and even vegans are coming back out of the mountains of Cordoba and El Bolson. There are weekly organic fairs: El Galpon in Chacarita and Sabe la Tierra at the train station of San Fernando. And the monthly Buenos Aires Market roves the city's major parks, dedicated to health and vegetarian foods.
A range of excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurants have surfaced, many with small grocery stores attached. Here are some of the best:

Writing Success Stories One Student at a Time
A group of high school choir members is enjoying viral video fame based on their awe-inspiring acapella performance of the National Anthem earlier this month.
The quartet performed at the back to school Panther Pride rally at Duncanville High School to a packed Sandra Meadows Arena. Now they're blowing up on social media. Since it was posted on the choral department's Facebook page August 10, the performance has received more than 100,000 views.
"I didn't think the video was going to get this many views. I didn't even know they were going to post the video," Ryan Smith said.
The members of the quartet, which also includes Danny Lyons and Matthew Merritt are all seniors. They have formed their own group called Made4Melody.
"I love singing with these guys and I can't wait for what God has next," Aadon Benson said.

At least 10 Islamists have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the last few days, said Reuters on Sunday.
The UAE has been carrying out a targeted crackdown on Islamists from the Islamist non-violent political group, the Reform and Social Guidance Association (RSGA), or Al-Islah which is Arabic for reform.
The crackdown, which started in March, has culminated in the arrest of 41 activists, according to a statement released by Al-Islah on Sunday.
The statement read "the wide-scale arrests targeting members of Al-Islah have a bad impact on the reputation of the country in the Gulf and on the International scale, more importantly, on the individual in Emirati society."
One of the founders of the group Hamad Roqait, was also arrested last week, Reuters reported.
Earlier this month, a group of activists were arrested, some of whom were affiliated with Al-Islah. There are number of differing accounts of how many activists have been arrested and detained as the UAE expanded its arrest program of political dissidents. According to Human Rights Watch 13 were arrested, while Amnesty International reported at least 11 political activists detained. Amnesty International said all of the detainees were taken to an unknown location. Amnesty International called on people to send appeals to UAE authorities to release them.
Both New York-based Human Rights Watch and Dublin-based Amnesty International called on Emirati authorities to release many of the detainees, who Amnesty International described as prisoners of conscience.
"The UAE authorities must halt this intensified crackdown on human rights defenders and other activists across the Emirates," said Ann Harrison, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Programme Director at Amnesty International.
Al-Islah condemned the arrests and demanded the release of the arrested and an immediate "halt of these procedures and all security harassments toward the sons of the country." The group said it believes in unity, good and reform, adding that it does not want to stir trouble or topple the Emirati regime or dismantle the constitution.
Earlier this month, the Emirati Emirates News Agency said the public prosecutor was investigating a group founded to commit crimes which threatened the security of the state. The prosecutor did not name the group. The prosecutor said the group was intent on going against the constitution and the basic principles.
It does not appear the UAE is only targeting Islamists. Earlier this month, Ahmed Abdelkhaleq was deported from the country to Thailand. Abdelkhaleq is a member of the "stateless," known as the Bedoon, who do not have Emirati citizenship. According to The Economist, he ran a website reporting on the Bedoon community.
The Arab Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) said Abdelkhaleq had been granted Comoros citizenship against his own will before he was forced to leave, earlier this month. ANHRI also described the UAE's crackdown as a campaign against human rights activists and those calling for reform.
Abdelkhaleq was one of five Emirati activists known as UAE 5 arrested last year for insulting Emirati officials. After they were tried and convicted, they received a pardon and were all released.

The prevailing wind direction is from the south-west, so it was no surprise that the sunshine and easterly tailwinds of the first week or so came to an end. It has been a trying week paddling into south-west or westerly headwinds every day.
The weekend gale which saw me stuck at Helvick Head for several days finally moderated with only a F4-5 forecast for Tuesday. I said goodbye to John, who'd been looking after my kayak in the lifeboat station and headed west. It was tough going into the wind immediately the head was rounded, but I was aiming only to do 20km or so to Ardmore, which seemed manageable. It got rougher at Mine Head, as John and the fisherman in who's B&B I'd been staying said it would, with steep, cresting waves. The wind hadn't dropped as forecast. I battled on for the best part of 4 hours and eventually made it to Ballyquin Beach, a few kilometres short if Ardmore. I was exhausted and had enough for the day.
The camping, on the other hand, turned out to be very pleasang at the back of the beach, a tad windy, but warm, sunny and perfect for drying gear. Just as well, because there seemed to be water in every hatch on the boat. Not good. Used to be dry.
Learning from the previous days experience and noticing that the wind seemed to be lighter early in the morning, I got up really early (5am) and just about left by 7.30am in near calm conditions. By mid-morning the wind was picking up again and the final crossing to The Cow slip at Ballycotton, short as it was, was rather hard work. Although the forecast was better than previously, I wasn't about to go any further today. I hung around for a while eating lunch and wondering where to camp when by chance a friendly woman came past, asked a few questions and then offered me camping in her back garden. It was probably the best spot in Ballycotton, less than 100m from a choice of three pubs and with a view over the bay! How could I refuse?
Ballycotton is a lovely place for a walk about. The view of the lighthouse island at the top of this missive is from the head, just above the harbour. Around the corner is the 1931 vintage Mary Standford lifeboat, restored and on free display. Look up the impressive story of the rescue of the crew from the Daunt Lightship in 1936, during the storm of the century!
The pattern of early calm followed by increasing wind from mid-morning continued all week. Slowly but surely I made it along the south coast, clocking up over 50km on two successive days. The first was prompted by board and lodgings very generously offered chez Jon Hynes (H20 Sea Kayaking), who also circumnavigated Ireland in 2015 with Sean Cahill. I was well looked after by Jon and Elaine and it was great to meet them and their kids.
By Thursday it was clear that Sunday and perhaps Monday would too windy to paddle, with winds moderating and going southerly by mid-week.
I needed to get to Baltimore by Saturday, before the wind picked up. That left about 70km or so of paddling to do in less than 2 days. Leaving Jon Hynes at the Old Head of Kinsale it was calm, but it didn't last long. The headwind was up and down all day with waves and F5 for the crossing to Galley Head. Not very pleasant, but I persisted, eventually arriving at Rabbit Island a little before 9pm. It had been another long 54km day, but the camping was perfect in a lovely spot near Unionhall on the Cork coast.
Next day the wind was forecast to pick up to F5 in the afternoon, a prospect which didn't fill me with enthusiasm. I got up really early again and paddled the last 20km or so to Baltimore before lunch, arriving in time to see off the Phoenix Kayak Club (Cork) on their outing to Cape Clear. They offered that I should join them. Needing a rest, amongst other things, I politely declined.
So, the past couple of days I've been resting, drying kit, buying food and such like and fixing my kayak.
When I eventually turned the boat over for a look, the one rock that I hit had done some damage around the skeg and elsewhere. As ever the locals sprang into action finding me a few tools and a gel-coat repair kit, to go with the sealant Jon arrange for me from CH Marine! The boat is now fixed and good to go!

Camping has the potential to be your family's favorite style of vacation. A camping adventure can help everyone to get more in touch with both nature and themselves. It can be really delightful to spend time getting to know nature. For a trip you will remember for many years to come, take advantage of the great tips below.
Bring sleeping bags appropriate for the season. Bringing a sub-zero type of sleeping bag to use on a trip in the summer will make you sweat the entire night. Conversely, if you bring a light-weight sleeping bag to a winter camping trip, you can be extremely uncomfortable the entire time. You might even get hypothermia.
Ask family or friends who are camping with you for their input on your camping location. This will make everyone feel invested. There are various options throughout the United States that it may make it hard to pick only one. Narrow down your top choices and let your entire family decide.
Over-packing is better than under-packing when it comes to children. Camping can be a bit messy. Kids love the dirt. Children will get dirtier as the day goes on. You don't want to interrupt their fun, it's a joy of camping after all; but, keep some extra clothing with you for them. Stay ahead of the game!
First aid classes are important to take when you are planning a camping trip with friends or family. In case of an accident, you will know what to do until medical help arrives. Additional research can also provide valuable information. It is also best to know what exists in the area you will be in so that you can prepare for that as well.
Pack a bandanna or handkerchief. You can use that piece of material for many purposes, such as holding a hot pot, cleaning surfaces, etc. As you can see, a handkerchief can serve many different purposes on a camping trip.
Make sure that you bring all of your camping equipment with you before you head out on your trip. Forgetting something important, such as a sleeping bag, is a terrible feeling. Verify all the things that you need or should take and write out a list of all of them. Then, check your final packing according to the list to be sure.
When you are camping around dangerous creatures, you have to be even safer regarding food. These precautions include tightly wrapping your foods and storing them away from your tent. You also have to just forgo certain foods entirely. That will reduce the chance of a critter attack.
This article's information helps make sure you don't forget anything important when camping. However, no matter how much you know, there is always more to learn. The advice shared here can make your next camping trip a great one.
As this article has shown, there are many factors to consider when it comes to Jake Wilson is a content writer for Agricultural News.

Amazon could launch ad-supported video service for Fire TV owners
Amazon is reportedly looking to launch a free, ad-supported video service for Fire TV owners separate from Prime Video, potentially adding a competitive edge against the Apple TV while fueling a rapidly growing ad business.
The service, tentatively named "Free Dive," is being developed by the company's IMDb division, according to sources for The Information. Studio negotiations are in progress to secure licenses for older TV shows.
The service may be most similar to the Roku Channel. While the latter offers a relatively small on-demand selection, it's also available to anyone with a Roku device, supported by regular ad breaks. Roku has even announced plans to bring it to the web and non-Roku devices.
Amazon sells three Fire TV devices: a standard 4K dongle, the cheaper 1080p "Stick," and the recent Fire TV Cube, which includes an integrated Alexa speaker and can turn some devices both on and off, unlike most streaming accessories, which can only turn things on.
There's no equivalent of the Roku Channel or "Free Dive" on the Apple TV. It is possible to find some free content on iTunes, but this is scattered about and most likely to be free pilot episodes of TV shows.
Apple is known to be working on a slate of original high-budget TV shows for 2019. These may be gated behind a paid subscription.

Ralph Lauren Jackets For Men: Fall Winter and Spring Summer Celebrity Wear. Ahh, a smiling Robert Pattinson. Why is he smiling, we ask? Maybe because he's wearing a very comfortable RRL USS Ralph Lauren Supply Distressed Jacket? Or maybe because he's thinking about his upcoming rendezvous with Kristen Stewart? Or maybe he just had his daily smoke or something?
But then all of a sudden, the smile vanishes. Back to his pouty old Rpattz self.
Is that a lucky fan?
Want more Robert Pattinson and his Ralph Laurens? Check out his Ralph Lauren sweater.
Celebrity Ralph Lauren Jackets and Coats (posted 02 October 2011). As it turns out, Robert Pattinson ain't the only Twilight star who wears Ralph Lauren jackets. Who else loves him his Polo Ralph Lauren? Why, it's Edward Cullen's Twilight rival himself, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
In this photoshoot for GQ Magazine, Taylor is wearing a reversible jacket from the Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 2010 Menswear Collection.
Taylor's reversible jacket above is way cooler than Robert's distressed jacket up there in our original post but do you think Edward is ready to wave the white flag for being less fabulous in his Ralph Lauren? Of course not, he may be an emo vampire who needed a bath three months ago but when it comes to his rivalry with Jacob, he's not what you'd call a wimpy wimp. So he marshaled his resources to give us this Vanity Fair picture of him wearing a Ralph Lauren Black Label Stealth Microfiber Topcoat described as a "classically handsome topcoat…crafted for a sleek, trim fit in lightweight microfiber for modern technical elegance".
So who's looking more fabulous in his Ralph Lauren jacket now?
Haha. Enough with the Jacob Black-Edward Cullen fashion wars, let's just check out other celebrities spotted in Ralph Lauren coats or jackets such as Dollhouse actor Enver Gjokaj who's seen here in a Polo Ralph Lauren tan zip-up jacket.
Of course, we should not also forget the U.S. Olympic team at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games who were dressed by Ralph Lauren. One can argue that they were the most fashionably dressed team, right?
Check out these athletes in their Polo Ralph Lauren Opening Ceremony Down Jacket.
Aww, is that Vice President Joe Biden? He's one of our favorite politicians these days.

San Francisco, California
5 Die – High-rise Boom Hits Buildings, Vehicles In San Francisco
From his 21st-floor office, Philip Auyoung had watched with fascination for months as construction workers built a high-rise just across the street. But Tuesday he watched with horror as a construction crane toppled, sending three workers to their deaths 16 stories below.
"I could see their faces as they fell," Auyoung said. "It was so horrible. They tried to grab onto a support but they just couldn't."
The three were among five people killed when the crane boom swung around and broke off its support column, smashing into two other buildings as it fell and crushed a school van, a transit bus and several cars in the street below. The other victims were a construction worker on the ground and the driver of the van, which was otherwise empty. Twenty-one survivors were taken to hospitals, including three in critical condition.
It was about 8:15 a.m. when the broken crane brought concrete and twisted steel raining down on one of the city's busiest intersections, in the heart of the financial district. The two damaged buildings were evacuated and the city closed a four-block area for cleanup and repairs that could last as long as a week.
The California Street cable car line also was shut down.
"The steel beams in that building look like pickup sticks and you can see that the crane fell through the street below and into the underground garages," Acting Mayor Angela Alioto said after surveying the wreckage from the 20th story of a building the Bank of America`s corporate headquarters across the intersection of Kearny and California streets.
As night fell, crane experts from the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration hadn`t been able to determine what caused the collapse. Tuesday night, a prosecutor said criminal negligence charges had been filed twice previously against the project`s general contractor for accidents on Los Angeles construction sites. The charges were filed against the company, Swinerton & Walberg Co. of San Francisco, in 1981 and 1986 for separate accidents on the Los Angeles sites, said Los Angeles Deputy City Atty. Michael Guarino.
In the 1986 case, Guarino said, the firm was a codefendant in a case stemming from a construction site accident that killed three ironworkers after the steel superstructure of a 21-story office building was overloaded.
In Tuesday`s accident, Swinerton & Walberg said the crane was being repositioned from the 16th story to the 20th story as the Federal Home Loan Bank building neared its planned height. Auyoung, a 51-year-old broker, was watching this when he sensed something was wrong.
"In the control box up on top," he explained, "there's always a person sitting there to make sure everything is motionless. But this time I didn`t see anyone up there and I had just turned to my partner and was saying that to him and before I could finish the sentence, this happened."
An official for Swinerton & Walberg said the repositioning was a
"routine operation." He denied reports by some workers that the crane was lifting steel while it was being repositioned.
Several wives of men on the construction crew rushed to the scene when they heard about the accident on the radio.

Lisa Tobin admits to being "a bit of a geek". When she drives to work each day from her home in Melbourne's Williamstown over the West Gate Bridge in her 2010 BMW 1 Series, it's not just a daily commute – it's "an exercise in physics and peoples' psychology".
"Driving is really messy," Transurban's technology boss says in the toll road group's airy new headquarters in Melbourne's Docklands. "As an individual you sit there and you're trying to make the best decision: do I swap to this lane? Do I go a bit more to the right?"
Tobin doesn't think of other cars as obstacles. She sees them as "data packets" that could be moved around more efficiently if only they could communicate with each other as well as with the roads.
Her nirvana is "an engine in the sky in the cloud" that understands where every car is, and can do a maths equation to work out how fast they should be travelling to keep traffic flowing smoothly.
These days even roads companies have to be tech companies. First came fintech and regtech, now there's roadtech.
When Transurban listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in March 1996, it had only one toll road project: Melbourne's CityLink. Today, it operates 14 toll roads in Australia, two in the US and one in Canada. It is also building three new Australian toll roads: Sydney's NorthConnex and WestConnex motorways, and Melbourne's West Gate Tunnel.
Sometimes I feel like we're more of a telco company than a roads company when I see all the fibre optics going in.
— Scott Charlton, Transurban CEO
As Transurban has grown into a $36 billion company, its mission has evolved from simply building and operating roads into managing transport networks, some of which have bus lanes as well as cycling and walking paths.
It even has a new mission, announced at its annual investor day in Sydney in April: "Provide sustainable transport solutions that offer choice, reliability, safety, transparency and value."
Like other transport companies, Transurban is facing disruption from the emergence of electric vehicles and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) – cars that can not only drive themselves but can also share information with one another through telecommunication and wireless networks.
But the company has a vested interest in embracing change. If it can use technology to sort out traffic incidents quickly and transmit information to drivers, as well as developing smart infrastructure that makes it easy for CAVs to navigate its roads, people will be more likely to pay to use them.
Transurban's offices, which span several floors of Tower 5 in Collins Square, offer little hint the company makes its money from tolling motorways. Digital purple jellyfish float on screens behind potted plants, and fake cobblestones line the floors to evoke the feel of Melbourne's laneways. Its meeting rooms are named after different forms of transport. AFR BOSS magazine meets Tobin in the Tram room.
Tobin is a recent recruit to the transport industry. She had spent two-and-a-half years managing technology for Australia Post's retail services business and 15 years in various technology leadership roles at National Australia Bank before being brought onto Transurban's executive team in early 2013 by chief executive Scott Charlton (who joined the company in mid-2012).
Before she arrived, technology was handled by a chief information officer who reported to the chief financial officer and was not part of the executive team. But Charlton, a former electrical engineer who once designed laser guidance systems for smart bombs, believes technology will "actually transform what we can do", according to Tobin.
Communication with vehicles
Charlton regularly promotes Transurban's technological credentials, telling analysts and investors at the April investor day that "sometimes I feel like we're more of telco company than a roads company when I see all the fibre optics going in".
For Tobin, joining Transurban was an opportunity to transform the perception that technology was just a help desk service for staff. "I shared the view with Scott that technology increasingly is the way you go to market and it changes what you can take to market."
First Tobin first had to challenge the company's "workmanlike" engineering mindset and get people thinking strategically. She boosted the technology team from 80 people to about 500, and her annual budget increased from just $22 million five years ago to $250 million (excluding specific investments in big projects).
Transurban uses CCTV cameras, which are monitored by operators in traffic control rooms, as well as automated detection systems to watch for incidents on its roads – such as breakdowns, crashes, Deliveroo cyclists accidentally ending up in tunnels, or a stray kitten or dog – and sends vehicles to help. But it is also investigating how it can use data analytics to avoid wasting time on false alerts from the automated systems, which can be triggered by shadows or heavy rain.
It is also thinking about how to prepare its systems for real-time communication with vehicles. Its toll-road monitoring and communications systems are part of closed fibre networks, but it has been upgrading systems to add cybersecurity technology so that in future they can communicate via the internet with CAVs. "The perfect solution needs to be an interplay between the car and the infrastructure," Tobin says.
Transurban wants to use V2X comunication, or "vehicle-to-everything", which has already been put in cars by some vehicle manufacturers – including Toyota and General Motors – to warn CAVs of changes to road conditions or speeds, as well as congestion.
CAVs should also be able to use V2X to tell Transurban if they have an accident, allowing the company to react quickly to incidents.
Tobin likens CAVs to insect swarms because the cars can swap information on how fast they are moving and when they are speeding up or slowing down, which means they can travel much closer together than cars with human drivers.
Transurban wants to support the development of CAVs because it believes they will make roads safer and traffic flow faster, and has run its own trials of how the cars perform on its roads in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as in the US.
The trials found that CAVs had difficulty with road signs that had been damaged or defaced. Inconsistent line markings also caused problems. In one CAV trial in Victoria, the cars did not understand that when they left the motorway and went on to an exit ramp, they needed to slow down.
"We all know that, we've been conditioned to that, but not all of our exit ramps actually have a sign that says: 'If you've been travelling on the main road at 80km/h, you'd better slow down to 40km/h'," says Tobin. "So we've had some situations where the car has continued at 80km/h as it's going off an exit ramp."
Tobin does not think CAVs will reach critical mass until the 2040s. But Transurban is watching their development closely, including how they are using wireless technology known as "co-operative intelligent transport systems" to share information with one another as well as with the road infrastructure.
"The car manufacturers, in my view, will realise that the sharing of data is the right way forward," Tobin says. "But not just sharing with the car fleets, sharing with the operators of road networks because it's that complete set of information that will be needed to keep people safe."
Carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz have already started working together, forming a partnership in February to jointly develop assistance systems for drivers and technology for automated driving on highways.
Although Transurban uses physical message boards to inform drivers of accidents or congestion and "lane usage management systems" (which have illuminated red crosses to show drivers which lanes to avoid), it has to be careful not to distract them with too much information.
If CAVs do not end up sharing data with Transurban, Tobin says the company will need to put up more signs telling the automated cars where to go and the speeds at which they should travel so they do not become confused.
Transurban also wants to make better use of technology in its tolling business, including moving away from using tags in cars to deduct payments. Tobin says tags are "a friction point" for drivers because sometimes they forget to put them into cars if they change vehicles or take them out if they are selling them.
To make toll fare deductions "seamless and automatic", Transurban has developed an app called LinktGO that activates location services on motorists' mobile phones as their cars approach a toll road, but deactivates it as the cars leave, saving the phones' batteries.
Transurban took a 20 per cent stake in Bluedot Innovation, an Australian start-up now based in San Francisco, to get access to the technology used in the app, which is targeted at drivers who only occasionally use toll roads or who can't be bothered to set up a tag account.
"We appreciate that we are a service that is not sometimes the first one that people would like to spend discretionary income on so we want to make sure that our services are known for being safe, for being efficient and really easy to use," Tobin says.
Transurban is also evolving its US tolling systems in-house, upgrading its GLIDe system using cloud technology. It is assessing how it can use open data so that in future it can share information with government and other transport agencies. It is also trialling using video analytics technology in Australia to track cars and collect tolls.
It wants to work closely with other companies in the transport industry, including makers of road signs, tolling equipment and camera equipment. It is considering using sonar sensors to monitor water levels in storm water drains to check if they are blocked, and investigating whether it can use other kinds of sensors on roads and bridges to monitor incidents and maintenance needs.
Tobin stresses, however, she is increasingly interested in the software that companies make rather than physical devices such as the tolling infrastructure. "It's going to be the software and the data management that allows us to manage the traffic environment into the future – the physical device will be much more commoditised or, in some cases, not needed any more," she says.
All the company's "future thinking" will go into the West Gate Tunnel, which will have 250 CCTV cameras, 114 automatic incident detection cameras, 114 tunnel information messaging signs and 117 lane-use management signs. These will be connected by data cables that will run above the cars. Transurban will use the bottom half of the tunnel to access roads from underneath, removing the need to temporarily close the tunnel for maintenance work.
The West Gate Tunnel and all future tunnels will also have high-definition colour video cameras that can transmit up to 30 frames per second, enabling detailed traffic surveillance.
Tobin's biggest worry, after security – she employs 25 security operators and Transurban is connected to a global service that constantly monitors attempted intrusions into its systems – is finding enough software engineers and data scientists. "Like every large company in Australia, I am doing whatever I can to make sure that the technology market understands what we are doing," she says. "It's just such a cool gig to be in technology in this company in this industry at this time."

How do I put in my hearing aids? Learning how to put in your hearing instruments can take some practice. It may seem like it should not be that hard, but everyone learns at a different pace. In time you will master the insertion of your hearing instrument. First time users may find it helpful to start when sitting at a counter top, table, or another soft surface to prevent the hearing instrument(s) from falling on a hard floor surface. Avoid areas where the aid could fall on tile, porcelain, or marble.
For an in-the-ear (ITE) product:
• Stand in front of a mirror to see what you are doing, but only if necessary.• Check to make sure the color on the hearing instrument matches the appropriate ear. Red is for the right ear and blue is for the left ear. Color indicators vary in size.• Line up the hearing instrument to the ear with the long canal portion closest to the ear. • Rotate the aid slightly forward and insert the canal portion of the hearing instrument into your ear canal.• Turn the aid slightly downward, toward the back of your head, to make it fit into place.
For a behind-the-ear (BTE) product:
• First insert the ear mold following the steps above. • Next, slide the hearing instrument over the back of your ear. The tube that connects the two pieces should rest comfortably on the side of the head.
How do I take out my hearing aid(s)?
• Pull on the top of the ear slightly to break the seal of the aid.• Grasp the ITE hearing instrument or ear mold of the BTE and rotate it forward (toward your nose) as you gently pull it out from the ear.
With time you will be a pro at taking your aids in and out! You may not even realize you are doing it. For most people it becomes second nature with practice. If you have manual dexterity issues, let your provider know as soon as possible. Please contact your hearing healthcare professional if you continue to have difficulty with hearing aid insertion and removal.In the meantime, your Hearing Instrument Specialist will be there to:
• instruct you on the proper insertion of your new hearing instruments • show you basic care and maintenance of your instruments • provide an individualized program to help you adjust to your newfound ability to hear • consult with your family and others to help them better communicate with you and help you adjust to your new hearing system

Sue Lawley's castaway is actress and campaigner Virginia McKenna.
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the actress and wildlife campaigner Virginia McKenna. She was born in London and, after spending five years of her childhood in South Africa to escape the Blitz, she returned to England. She enrolled at the Central School of Drama but left after two years when offered six months in Repertory at Dundee. Classics such as the Cruel Sea, Carve Her Name with Pride and A Town Like Alice, for which she won a British Academy Award for Best Actress, have been highlights in a long and successful career.
However her most remembered and best loved roles have been in Born Free and Ring of Bright Water, starring opposite her actor husband the late Bill Travers. For Born Free, she won the Variety Club Best Actress Award . Making Born Free in 1964, which told the true story of George and Joy Adamson as they returned Elsa the lioness to the wild, profoundly affected Bill and Virginia and it was a key influence in their lives. They realised that wild animals belong in the wild and should be protected there, not imprisoned in captivity. But the premature death in London Zoo of Pole Pole, a young elephant, who had featured in their film, An Elephant Called Slowly, led to the founding of Zoo Check in 1984. The Trust was dedicated to preventing the abuse of captive wild animals and strove to protect and conserve them in the wild. Zoo Check grew to become a major force in the animal welfare movement and was renamed The Born Free Foundation in 1991. She was awarded the OBE in the New Year's Honours List in 2004 for services to wildlife and the arts.

Described as the first major U.S. female political figure since Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Rodham Clinton (born 1947) was considered a force to be reckoned with in American politics. Married to Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, she figured prominently in the Clinton administration with substantial influence on domestic policy-making.
A First Lady with an independent professional identity, Hillary Rodham Clinton had experience as a corporate lawyer, a tenacious fighter for educational reform, a nationally recognized expert on children's legal rights, and a director of both corporate and nonprofit boards. Hillary Diane Rodham was born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. She grew up with two younger male siblings in Park Ridge, a conservative, upper-class suburb north of the city. Her parents, Hugh and Dorothy Howell Rodham, reared their three children with traditional mid-American values that stressed family, church, school, and social obligations that evolved from the adage that "to whom much is given, much is expected."
As a youth Rodham was influenced by her religious training in Methodism, with its emphasis on personal salvation and active applied Christianity. A seminal influence in her teen years was a youth minister, the Reverend Don Jones, who introduced Rodham and her peers to some of the issues, causes, and movements of the time and who encouraged involvement in direct social action. It was under Jones's guidance that she read religious philosophers such as Soren Kierkegaard and Dietrich Bonhoeffer; babysat the children of migrant farm workers; and met the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., when he came to Chicago on a speaking tour.
Rodham attended the public schools of Park Ridge and in 1965 enrolled in Wellesley College, where she majored in political science and took a minor in psychology. Her undergraduate years were important to her developing world view and growing sense of personal empowerment. An exceptional communicator, she was a catalyst for many of the movements for change occurring on the Wellesley campus and was involved also in a number of off-campus activities. She spent her final undergraduate summer in Washington, D.C., working for the House Republican Conference and returned to campus to spend her senior year as president of the student government. Graduating with highest distinction in 1969, Rodham gave the first student address delivered during commencement in the history of the college. In the fall she enrolled in Yale University Law School, where she was among 30 women in the class of 1972.
Experience in Washington, D.C.
Rodham's experiences at Yale helped to focus her areas of interest and commitment toward issues related to children, particularly poor and disadvantaged ones. She became acquainted with Marian Wright Edelman, a civil rights attorney who headed up the Washington Research Project, a non-profit group based in Washington, D.C., later to be known as the Children's Defense Fund. Spending a summer internship in Washington, D.C., Rodham was assigned by Edelman to Walter Mondale's Senate subcommittee, which was studying the plight of migrant families. In subsequent years at Yale she volunteered to work in the Yale Child Studies Center and the Yale-New Haven Hospital, assisted the New Haven Legal Assistance Association, and engaged in several other projects aimed at improving understanding of, and effecting improvements in, the legal system where children were concerned. An extra year of study at Yale prior to her graduation in 1973 further refined her expertise in child law issues.
After graduation Rodham moved to Washington and took a full-time position with the Children's Defense Fund. As staff attorney, she worked on juvenile justice problems, traveling the country comparing census data with school populations and becoming involved in litigations related to juvenile issues. In January 1974 she was chosen as one of 43 lawyers handpicked to work on the legal staff of the House Judiciary Committee, which was charged with preparing impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon resulting from the Watergate scandal. When Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974, and the legal staff disbanded, she accepted a teaching position at the University of Arkansas Law School. It was in Arkansas in 1975 that she married Bill Clinton, whom she had met while attending Yale.
A Life in Little Rock
Two years after their marriage Bill Clinton became attorney general of Arkansas, and the couple moved to Little Rock. In 1977 Hillary Clinton joined the prestigious Rose Law Firm, said to be one of the oldest law firms west of the Mississippi River, and became involved in an area of law known as "intellectual property." Her primary focus, however, remained in the area of children's rights, and she helped found Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. She continued to write on the rights of children, revising an earlier article published in the Harvard Educational Review. The revised essay, "Children's Rights: A Legal Perspective," appearing in Children Rights: Contemporary Perspectives, developed and refined her arguments for the implementation of children's legal rights. She also was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the board of the Legal Services Corporation in Washington (1978 to 1981), a federally-funded program that provided legal assistance to the poor. In January 1978, following her husband's successful bid for the governorship, Clinton became Arkansas' first lady. Later that year she also became the first woman ever to become a partner in the Rose Law Firm. In February 1980 she gave birth to a daughter, Chelsea Victoria.
In her 11 years as first lady of Arkansas, Clinton continued to pursue activities aimed at public service and policy reforms in the state. In her husband's second term she served as chair of the Arkansas Education Standards Committee, established to study the state's educational system and to recommend changes in the standards for public schools. Released to the public in September 1983, the standards report was controversial in several aspects, although it would eventually become state law. In 1985 Hillary Clinton also gave leadership to the establishment in Arkansas of the Home Instruction Program for Pre-School Youngsters (HIPPY). The program, which brought instruction and tutorials into impoverished homes to teach four-and five-year-olds, became one of the largest programs in the country, with over 2,400 mothers participating.
In 1987 she was elected chairperson of the board of the Children's Defense Fund and of the New World Foundation, a philanthropic organization headquartered in New York that had helped launch the Children's Defense Fund. In that year, too, Hillary and Bill Clinton were awarded the National Humanitarian Award by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Enjoying a national prominence, Hillary Clinton held directorships on the boards of directors of several corporations, including Wal-Mart, TCBY Enterprises (yogurt), and Lafarge (cement). She would also be cited by the National Law Journal in 1988, and again in 1991, as one of the "One Hundred Most Influential Lawyers in America."
Analyses of Clinton were varied; however, they generally pointed to her "spiritual center" and her "continuous textured development." People magazine, as one example, noted that "her social concern and her political thought rest on a spiritual foundation" (January 25, 1993). The "politics of virtue" according to the The New York Times Magazine, informed the actions of the newest First Lady (May 23, 1993).
In the White House
As the wife of the president of the United States Clinton remained an advocate for many of the programs and issues to which she earlier devoted her time and professional expertise. Her stated goal of "making a difference" in the world led her to press for reforms in many aspects of the American system, including health care and child welfare. Hers is said to be "the most purely voiced expression of the collective spirit of the Clinton administration, a spirit that is notable … for the long reach of its reformist ambitions …." (The New York Times, May 23, 1993). She provided leadership in a number of areas, with the most notable appointment in the first year of the Clinton administration being head of the Task Force on National Health Care, with responsibility for preparing legislation, lobbying proposals before Congress, and marshaling strategy for passage of a comprehensive reform package.
Her White House agenda beyond health care reform included promoting diversity in personnel appointments—an effort she began with her role in the transition group—and pushing for children's issues. With an office in the White House's west wing, close to the center of power, Clinton was expected to remold the role of First Lady for the 21st century.
Clinton has remained an active and vital figure in the White House throughout her husband's presidency. In August of 1995, Hillary Clinton was invited to deliver the keynote address at the United Nations International Conference on Women near Beijing, China. Early in 1996 Clinton and her daughter Chelsea made a goodwill trip to South Asia, addressing women's issues in Pakistan and India.
In November 1996 Bill Clinton was re-elected president of the United States. In that same year Hillary Clinton published her first book entitled It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us.
Further Reading on Hillary Rodham Clinton
Several biographies provide coverage of Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal and professional life as well as her philosophical development and early tenure in the White House. These include the following: Norman King, Hillary: Her True Story (1993); Donnie Radcliffe, Hillary Rodham Clinton: A First Lady for Our Time (1993); and Judith Warner, Hillary Clinton: The Inside Story (1993). Short biographical articles and political analyses are found in a variety of magazines and newspapers. Recommended among these are Patricia O'Brien, "The First Lady with a Career?" Working Woman (August 1992); Margaret Carlson, "All Eyes on Hillary," TIME (September 14, 1992); Michael Kelly, "Saint Hillary," The New York Times Magazine (May 23, 1993); and "The Clintons: Taking Their Measure," U.S. News and World Report (January 31, 1994).

"CONTRADICTIONS!" a.k.a: "A Christmas Story!" December 18, 2017 (Moon)
"Humans, filled with contradictions; please don't frown the day away!
Some are lawyers, some truck drivers, some are straight and some are gay!"
This is what The Lord of Hosts (pause)
Said to "Satan" one fine day,
When the Scrumptious Prince of Darkness was complaining 'bout God's WAY!
So, Great God, She pulled a piece –
Right off of Her Preciousness,
Sent it down to
And said a little, playful bless!
And this piece, it-was born a fellow(?) who was jolly, Godly too –
Who lived the human type of life –
Where "she doth pee and he doth poo!"
And, when the folks approached that One,
He said: "Relax and sit a spell!
'Cause, Humans, filled with contradictions, Do NOT have to go to Hell!"
"Contradictions!? Not so bad – 'Tis just not much consistency!"
Which is what The Lord of Hosts –
Replied to Mot's repugnancy.
For Satan was consistent, neat and always followed through.
"But," said GOD, "a paradox don't make a worser you!"
So, Jesus 'rrived,
And cried and laughed and threw "The Changers" out,
And hung around, on some big cross, chewed snuff, and
And died and went to Hades and talked with Satan clear –
They smoked and joked and f- – –d around and even had a beer,
And, just to "cap the deal off," "God" grabbed Yeshua's lips,
And fondled on herself a bit – especially her "tips,"
And said: "My lovely Devil Man, I sometimes play a trick,
'Cause humans are OK, and, you know, I'm a little "prick,"
So, I-pulled that piece off of my arm and said I'd make a man,
But, Satan Baby! It's-the-ONLY-way – (pause)
I've ever-made (pause)
