Given the open design of the Internet and the aim of free and public information sharing within there is still the need to conduct secure communications between parties. This is required generally to fuel the growth of ecommerce demanded of today's retailers and consumers. Such a secure mechanism has been available and in use for many years, it is known of HTTPS.
When you view a normal web page the information is sent to you using what is known as hypertext transport protocol (i.e. HTTP). This is fast but insecure method of transferring information. To utilise all the benefits of this standard HTTP protocol a technology known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) is layered on top of HTTP to create what we generally refer to as HTTPS or secure HTTP.
Once HTTPS communications have been established between you and the remote server all traffic sent between the two is encrypted so that it can't be viewed by anyone else. HTTPS also provides authentication between end points due to use of certificates to verify the identity of the destination.
In most cases, the establishment of a secure channel happens seamlessly in your browser. The only thing you may notice is a padlock icon somewhere in the browser indicating that information is now being sent via HTTPS. If you click on the padlock you will get more information about the security certificate in use like shown below.
The most important components of a certificate are who it is issued to (the business you are connecting to), the issuer (the third party that issues and verifies certificates) and the validity period (certificates need to be renewed regularly).
If you are conducting transactions on the Internet that you wish to remain as private and secure you should ensure that you are doing this using the HTTPS protocol. The easy way to check this is ensure that a padlock or security alert is displayed within the browser during this time.
Of course if you have any security questions concerning you Internet transactions contact us here at Correct Solutions (02) 8831 8200.

Why Apply for a K Award?
The NIH Career Development Award Program (K award) provides salary and research support for a sustained period of "protected time" (3-5 years) to ensure a future class of well-trained scientists will become competitive for continue NIH (or equivalent) extramural research support.
NIH data show that individuals who received a K award were more likely to remain in research, publish in scientific or medical journals, and apply for and receive a subsequent NIH R01 grant. Success rates for K awards across institutes are much more favorable than for R01s and R21s at present.
Important elements of K awards that set the stage for a future competitive R01 application include: ability to accrue research experience through the collection of preliminary data, collaboration with a mentoring team, operational experience, and generating publications and presentations. A K award allows awardees to demonstrate new expertise and connect with new collaborators all of which are key elements of a strong R01 application.
Explore the NIH's K Kiosk site, which explains the types of K awards, lists eligibility criteria, and gives contacts at each institute who can answer your specific questions. Two podcasts about K awards are available, as well as details about funding rates and other strategic information.
We can provide assistance with K applications. See our online resources and register for a K Writer's Workshop series for more in-depth guidance.

I learned that networking is the key to professional longevity, and that you are the CEO of your life and career path.
- What skills do you think are the most important for an entrepreneur to have?
I think skills that are most important for entrepreneurs are communication, public speaking, compassion, mindful listening, business acumen, and a personal awareness of strengths, passions, gifts and talents.
- What's your tech/startup prediction?
In my industry (HR and Corporate Wellness), tech will drive future solutions and growth. It's the only way; however, if done incorrectly, our space will literally experience mergers, consolidations, and exits from the industry.
- Who was a role model to you when you were coming up in your field?
My first manager was a role model. She was a women leader in a mostly-male organization, and she wasn't afraid to speak her mind or question the status quo -- in the right way, of course.
Now for the fun stuff...

Gold traded somewhat higher yesterday but hit resistance slightly below the 1207 level during the Asian morning Thursday, and then it slid. The metal appears to be trading within a sideways range between 1190 and 1213 since the 24th of August and thus, we would consider the short-term outlook to be neutral for now. However, bearing in mind that it is also trading below the longer-term tentative downtrend line drawn from the peak of the 11th of April, we see more chances for the price to exit the range to the downside rather than to the upside.
A decisive break below the range's lower end of 1190 may confirm the case and is possible to initially aim for the 1183 support obstacle, defined by the low of the 24th of August. If that level fails to prevent the price from falling further, then we may see the bears driving the battle towards our next support of 1172, marked by the low of the 17th of the month.
Taking a look at our short-term momentum studies, we see that the RSI turned down after it hit its respective downside resistance line, while the MACD, although slightly above both its zero and trigger lines, shows signs of topping near its own downside resistance line. These indicators support somewhat the notion for the yellow metal to drift a bit lower, at least within the aforementioned range.
In order to assume that the price has exited the range to the upside, we would like to see a clear break above 1213. Such a move could initially target the 1217 level, which proved a reliable resistance from the 5th until the 10th of August, the break of which could pave the way towards the 1225 zone or the downtrend line drawn from the peak of the 11th of April.

$14 Down the Drain
I don't have a problem with spending $14 on books. I do it all the time. But when it's at the library? For fines? That just makes me want to cry...
I've been on a reading rampage this year. Since January I've read 51 books (they're listed on the left if you scroll down far enough). I probably own half of the books on the list, and the rest have come from the library.
The thing is, somewhere around mid July, my life got more crazy. I didn't have as much time to read, but I had these stacks from the library. I renewed them thinking I would get to them. But then we went on vacation, I went to SCBWI, and, well, a notice came in the mail yesterday.
There's one more little detail I forgot to mention...I don't have my own library card. Yeah, I know it's pretty weird. I really should get my own. But what I usually do is check out all my books on my son's card.
So, not only does my 9-year-old son have titles like "The King's Rose" on his library record, he also has a whopping $14 in fines. Well, had. We of course hopped in the car and hightailed it down to the library where we hung our heads in shame, paid the bill (*sob*), renewed the books we're still reading and...checked out more stuff!
On his card. I still didn't get my own. I promise I will. Someday.
In the meantime, I'm trying not to think about what I could have spent that money on...a nice lunch, Catching Fire, three ice blended vanillas. Sigh. Maybe I can just think of it as my contribution to the budget shortfall. Um, not so much.
What costly mistakes have you made that you wish you could change?

I ALWAYS have a fine at the library. Still worth it, though. We can't find HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (IN FRENCH) anywhere! If you find it, let me know!
- August 22, 2009 at 6:35 AM
- Jean Michelle Miernik said...
Yeah, don't stress about it too much. A $14 fine is a bummer but won't break the bank, and it will go to benefit the library. It's like a small charitable donation to support something you love!
Anita, I bought that Harry Potter book in French for my brother a few years ago. I found it on amazon.com. Maybe check there, bn.com, and eBay.

Me and my honey are Border's bookaholics. He works about one week out of the month to pay for our habit. *wink*
Just think what it would have cost if you bought all those books! You saved yourself lots of money. And, like Genie said, money to a library is always a good thing.;-)

I once had a huge library fine, too! And on my daughter's card! (That's because where I used to live, in New Mexico, they didn't fine you if you were overdue......so when I moved to CA, I was in no hurry to return the books.) Lesson learned.

At my library, if children's items are checked out on a kid's library card, there are no overdue fees. So whenever I want to check out a middle-grade to read myself, I have one of my kids check it out for me.
We rarely have fines, but recently my daughter put some books on hold and then forgot about them. The holds expired and now she owes $3.00. Silly girl.

Oh library fines. I think I've contributed to a new wing should they decide to build one. But librarians are always so understanding about fines.
This doesn't go on your son's record, does it? He's not going to get a lower credit score when he starts applying for cards and loans? :)

Sherrie, I feel your pain! I can even renew mine online and sometimes I forget. It's frustrating, but it's still cheaper than buying the books!

I always have library fines, and I don't rent movies anymore because every time I would turn them in late. I get so frustrated with myself. It's such a waste!
- August 22, 2009 at 9:38 AM
- Vivian Mahoney said...
You don't want to know what I've paid in library fines over the years. Renewing on-line definitely has saved me money. Though, I know the money is going to the library, so I don't mind the fine. But every once in awhile, I think about what I could have purchased with the fine money...
What I hate is going to restaurants and spending money on overpriced food that doesn't taste like or look like what I imagined it would from the description on the menu. Just not good. Puts me in a bad mood every time.
Enjoy your weekend!

Ugh! Hate those library fines. They seem so harmless at a measly 35cents a day...but they add up quick.
Costly mistakes? Hmmm...I'd say the pink and white and yellow striped capris that I thought would be cute for summer. On my 14 year old? Yes, absolutely. On MY 41 year old butt? Not so much.

I try so hard not to think about financial mistakes. Put them behind me and move on.
Yikes! You could have bought a new hardcover for that.
- August 22, 2009 at 12:21 PM
I try and tell myself I'm just donating the money to a good cause. It's those looks the librarians give me that are so hard to deal with! :)
- August 22, 2009 at 4:36 PM
- Heather Ayris Burnell said...
Yup, libraries can definitely use the money. Funny thing is, my library doesn't charge overdue fees. I might be a little more motivated to get my books back on time--and I'm a librarian! I hear we're the worst when it comes to overdue books.

40licious, the Sequel
I found it slightly hilarious that my mother doesn't know exactly what day my birthday is, she knows it's around this time. Or maybe she knows the date, but she doesn't know when that falls, exactly. So either way, she hedged her bets and called me with an original birthday poem three or four days ago. And then she called my brother to remind him, so he went all "happy birthday" way too early. I think, in all, they called me five times to send their mazel tovs.
Today, as an extension of the joke, he sent me this song. I turned it into a movie. I hope you "enjoy" it as much as I did.

This Is Why the Internet Is Important
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Soundtrack of Our Lives
When you're 40licious, you have a very specific soundtrack to your life. My first memories of music were dancing for anyone who would watch in my dad's home office, the long leather couch a stage, to Teresa Brewer's "Put Another Nickel in Music Music Music." Later, there was listening to disco and yacht rock on a Snoopy transistor radio under my pillow -- Little River Band, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, Eric Clapton ("Lay Down Sally" seemed like a very dirty song to me). And then on to junior high and high school for a stupefying cocktail consisting mainly of New Wave/Southern Rock/Led Zeppelin/Journey/REO Speedwagon/Foreigner/Loverboy, infused with the adolescent yearnings of the FAME soundtrack. (I also lip synched Irene Cara's "Why Me?" at a talent show in a gold lame top over a black pleather miniskirt.)
There are the breakup albums, with the Cranberries and Ani Di Franco leading the pack. And always through everything, Beatles, since I took it upon myself to illustrate what Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds might look like.
So I don't know why it is that tonight, getting ready to hunker down for my homebody Saturday with a French film (I'm in a phase, but please do get Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring, you will be so much richer as a person for seeing them), and I do a little channel flip to see Tony Orlando and some middle-aged woman with a Mom haircut hawking the Time-Life collection "Romancing the 70s." It's a monstrous compendium of 156 songs. These songs are in my DNA. I've heard them all thousands of times. And I don't know why I am so riveted by the clips of Anne Murray, Neil Sedaka, Lionel Ritchie, BJ Thomas, Captain & Tenille -- there are scores -- in their 70s flair and gloss. But I am, and I can't turn away, and choking back tears is a futile effort.
My first reaction is to wonder why I am so moved by this music, these wide collars and far out hairstyles. A mental check confirms it is not PMS.
It is because the 70s were about summer breezes and midnight trains to Georgia and morning breaking. Danny's song and Annie's song. Or knocking three times and taking a little afternoon delight. Asking if you know where you're going to.
I can't think of a contemporary song that grabs me in the exact same spot. Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's because I know I'll never love this way again.

It's All Practice
But this other job is a little more lucrative and a little outside my scope. It's new. I've never done it before. I spent a lot of time wondering how I will close the gap between "I know I can do it" and "I have the experience" since I learned I'm going to be interviewed.
The other day at yoga the instructor asked us to do something I've never done. It involved crow -- balancing my knees on my elbows, chest parallel to the floor -- then folding over with my head to the floor; then lifting my legs straight up so I'd be in a headstand.
Now I know how to do all of those three separately, so I didn't panic too much. And lo, I put all the parts together and I did it just fine. I didn't topple over. I'd actually been leading up to this pose for the past 10 years.
So that's my selling point to the people who will hire me for this other job. I'm already doing all the parts, just watch me put it together in this cool new way.

Change is a Comin'
So tonight my friend calls and says, "What are you doing?"
And I say, "I am making a lovely soup."
In all seriousness. In exactly the same earnestness and enthusiasm my mother would.
But you know what? That's completely, absolutely, totally fine with me. And it will be a lovely soup.
Keep your eyes peeled -- 40licious will radically be changing soon, upon my 41st birthday in less than two weeks. While we're at it, what do you like about this blog? What could stand to take a hike? All constructively critical comments welcome.

Some Things Are Better Left Undone
Dear World Market,
I currently have, in my possession, an exotic chocolate bar from your fine establishment, which I frequent with great regularity to purchase below-market wine, Indian-patterned table linens, thoughtful gift items, Asian-themed paper lanterns, distressed espresso-finished office furniture, and my Myers natural cleaning solution. I especially love the wide variety of sauces, spices, treats and teas you procure from around the globe. I will admit to being adventurous when it comes to culinary pursuits. I love chocolate and pretzels, chocolate and fruit, chocolate and -- really, almost anything. I nearly developed a combo obsessive-compulsive/eating disorder from your spectacular dark chocolate and sea salt bar. One time I even ate a worm as part of a newspaper story on a guy who ate live worms for their enzymatic properties. (It was gross. It tasted like pine.)
I am writing today about your confection that involves dark chocolate and chipotle chiles. Perhaps it is my karma because it's not exactly mine -- I'd purchased it for someone else. But it was there, in my cabinet. I'd returned from a movie, hungry, and had been slightly off-kilter all day. So I thought I'd perhaps taste-test it.
Oh. My God.
Have you, yourself, tasted this? Or did you outsource it to a third-world country, using a Web-based translation program to discern the notes?
Imagine licking an ashtray from a cheap Reno motel.
Imagine inhaling the vapors of the underwear from Alaskan fishermen at sea for six weeks without showers.
Imagine whatever it is that makes you most prone to retching, concentrated, ground into a fine powder, and mixed into some perfectly innocent dark chocolate.
This was worse.
So, my dear friends at World Market, I beseech you to take this off your shelves. Or just rename it "Dark Chocolate and Ass."
Thank you for your kind attention.
PS -- to the friend whose chocolate I violated, you're welcome.

Escape from Hollywood
Nat and C finally showed up. Which was good, because I had already prepared a text for her announcing that I just wasn't into it and sucking down the last of my wine. Happy to see her. Happy to see him.
Happy to be home now, eating a lasagne.
Day of Reckoning
Over the past few days I've been gathering numbers for my accountant, who has quite cleverly moved to some cheap plot of land in Texas or Utah or Colorado, I don't know, some state where they have cowboys. Yes, I had to plow through a lot of numbers. But I've come up with several realizations, that don't necessarily fall into a mathematical mindset.
1. I work harder than almost anyone I know. Karen and Rachel, my lifelong friends who are, respectively, an English professor and ER doc, probably best me on this. Elperks, a second AD in many movies and television shows you've seen and loved, pulls those looooooong days and nights. Amanda goes around the world to grab images that will change lives. OK. Maybe I don't work harder. But I do work a lot. Most of my waking hours.
2. I give a lot of presents and contribute to many charities. I hadn't realized that. $20 here and $100 there -- I'd imagine that it adds up after a while, and hopefully does some good.
3. I could probably do a couple of my own mani-pedis during the year.
4. I'm rethinking the cleverness of real estate. There are a lot of added costs that I won't see an ROI for, say, 15 years. What if I don't live that long? I think I was frigging CRAZY to do a kitchen remodel, frankly. But whatever. It's nice and there's no turning back now.
5. It would be nice to spend a calendar year lost on an island, trading coconuts and massages and English lessons for food and sunblock. No cash. Just services and goods. In fact, I think I'm going to pitch that.
6. My dog LuLuBelle? She's practically free except for the organic kibble she gets twice a day, and the occaisonal benign tumor removal. She's been the most stable element in my life for 12 years, and will be for 100 more. She is what I count on the most. There is no box for her on any IRS form.

When Geeks Get Mad
Police: Man killed friend with sword after chess game in
An evening that started with two friends playing chess and drinking beers
ended with one man stabbed to death and another booked on murder charges
Tuesday, Alameda police said.
Kelly Scott Kjersem, a 40-year-old Alameda man, arrived earlier in the evening at 1220 Park Avenue with a 12-pack of beer, police Lt. Bill Scott said.
Kjersem was visiting the home of his friend, Joseph W. Groom, 62, to drink and play chess. The two men played and drank for some time, and later a female friend of Groom's arrived and began cooking dinner for the two men.
While she was in the kitchen, she heard an argument break out between the two men, Scott said. She didn't know what it was about, but found the two men had started wrestling.
Groom stopped and retreated to his bedroom, Scott said. When he returned, he was brandishing a sword more than 2 feet long. Police said the sword was made in Pakistan.
... couldn't they just had a grudge match with Star Trek trivia or something?

A Harbinger
Sunday, February 1, 2009
John Updike puts everything so beautifully here, in this poem, which sums up why you need to make absolutely sure that the people in your life know you love them, so that when it all goes "poof," they will know, without question, that you left this earth with a piece of them in your heart. Because really, the petty jealousies, the misguided outrages, the inferred insults -- they just don't really matter.
Perfection wasted
And another regrettable thing about death
is the ceasing of your own brand of magic,
which took a whole life to develop and market -
the quips, the witticisms, the slant
adjusted to a few, those loved ones nearest
the lip of the stage, their soft faces blanched
in the footlight glow, their laughter close to tears,
their warm pooled breath in and out with your heartbeat,
their response and your performance twinned.
The jokes over the phone. The memories packed
in the rapid-access file. The whole act.
Who will do it again? That's it; no one;
imitators and descendants aren't the same.

The Chihuahua is a tiny toy sized dog. The body is longer than it is tall. The head is well rounded, apple in shape and the muzzle is short and pointed with a well defined stop. Puppies have a soft spot on the top of the skull called a "molera", which usually closes by adulthood. The large, round eyes are set well apart and are dark, ruby, and may be lighter in white dogs. The erect ears are large. Dewclaws may be removed. The tail is long, sickle-shaped, either curled over the back or to the side. The coat comes in both a short coat or a long, wavy or flat coat. All colors, both solid, marked or splashed are accepted. Colors include, but are not limited to, black, white, chestnut, fawn, sand, silver, sable, steel blue, black & tan and parti-color.
The Chihuahua is a good companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and adventurous, they enjoy affection. Brave, cheerful and agile. Chihuahua's can be strong-willed without the proper human leadership. They are loyal and become attached to their owners. Some like to lick their owner's faces. Socialize them well. For some, they may be slightly difficult to train, but they are intelligent, learn quickly, and respond well to proper, firm but gentle (positive reinforcement) training. May be difficult to housebreak. Do not let the Chihuahua get away with things you would not allow a large dog to do (Small Dog Syndrome), such as jumping up on humans. While it may be cute for a 5 pound tiny dog to put his paws on your leg when you come home from work, it is allowing a dominate behavior. If you allow this little dog to be your pack leader they will developed many behavior issues, such as jealousy, aggression with other dogs and sometimes with humans, and will become undeniably suspicious of people except for their owner. When strangers are present, they will begin to follow their owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. A Chihuahua who is pack leader of their humans may snap at children. This breed is generally not recommended for children, not because they are not good with them, but because most people treat the Chihuahua differently than they would a large dog, causing them to become untrustworthy. Because of their size, this breed tends to be babied and things we humans clearly see as bad behavior for a large dog is looked over as cute with a small dog. Small dogs also tend to be walked less, as humans assume they get enough exercise just running around during the day. However a walk provides more than just exercise. It provides mental stimulation, and satisfies the migration instinct, all dogs have. Because of this, small breeds such as the Chihuahua tend to become snappish, yappy, protective, and untrustworthy with kids and humans they do not know. Chihuahua's who are their human's pack leader tend to be fairly dog-aggressive. An owner who realizes this and treats the Chihuahua no differently than they would a large breed, becoming a clear pack leader, will get a different, more appealing temperament out of this wonderful little dog, finding them to be good little child companions.
Height, Weight
Height: 6-9 inches (15-23 cm.)
Weight: 2-6 pounds (1-3 kg.)
Health Problems
Prone to rheumatism, slipped stifle, colds, and gum problems. Also corneal dryness and secondary glaucoma, do to their protruding eyes. Gains weight easily. Take caution around toxic products such as chocolate or fertilizer. This is a very small breed and it will not take much to poison them. Chihuahuas are often born via cesarean section because puppies are born with relatively large heads. Susceptible to fractures and other accidents in puppyhood. Some Chihuahuas have a molera, an unclosed section of the skull which can remain open throughout life. This makes the dog prone to injury. Has a tenancy to wheeze and snore, because of their small, short muzzles. Prone to stress, caused by the owners tendency to treat them like little babies. All dogs, even tiny ones, need to feel their owners are strong minded beings able to handle the entire pack.
Living Conditions
They are good little dogs for apartment life. The Chihuahua likes warm weather and dislikes the cold. They need space just like any other dog. Because they are small does not mean they can be kept in a vary small area.
Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about; these are active little dogs, who need a daily walk. Play can take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display a wide array of behavior problems, as well as neurotic issues. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.
Life Expectancy
About 15 or more years.
The smooth, short-haired coat should be gently brushed occasionally or simply wiped over with a damp cloth. The long coat should be brushed daily with a soft bristle brush. Bathe both types about once per month, taking care not to get water in the ears. Check the ears regularly and keep the nails trimmed. This breed is an average shedder.
This is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, where it received it's name from the Mexican State of Chihuahua. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. What breeds were used to make up the Chihuahua are unclear, but some think it originated from the Fennec Fox. The dogs were sacred to Pre-Columbian Indian nations and were also popular pets to the upper class. The dogs are prized for their size and are most valued to some fanciers when they weigh under 2-1/4 pounds (1.3 kg.).

ESSA's flagship Q&A event once again took place at the architecturally brilliant Deakin Edge, Federation Square and featured some of Australia's leading economic minds.
The first topic for discussion was university fee deregulation, which Craig Emerson labelled "a budget measure dressed up as a reform". And with a topic like this it wasn't long until the discussion got heated. Particularly noteworthy was the debate between Leith van Onselen and Judith Sloan on the ratio of public to private benefits from university education. Some members of the audience even seemed concerned that civil discussion would give way to pugilism:
Pretty thankful I'm near the back of the room. Punch ons inevitable at this stage #essaqanda
— Will Kingwill (@willkingwill) September 23, 2014
The discussion briefly ventured away from the topic of university fee deregulation, but questioners soon directed the panel back to it:
What will university fee deregulation mean for regional universities? #essaqanda — James Maccarrone (@maccarronejw) September 23, 2014
Megan: how can University students be assured that their fees will not reach the same high levels like the US?#essaqanda
— ESSA (@ESSA_aus) September 23, 2014
After a lengthy and insightful discussion on fee deregulation and economic liberalism in general the panel turned their attention to the issue of youth unemployment, which as pointed out by Joey Moloney has been rising:
#essaqanda @ESSA_aus the ratios of yth to overall unemp and underemp are rising. pic.twitter.com/MFpM7v2O6J — Joey Moloney (@joeybmoloney) September 23, 2014
In terms of solutions, Patricia Karvelas supported a proper mutual obligations policy:
Pat: important to force them to engage, create mutual obligations; policy impact is too broad. #essaqanda
— Daniel Tan (@dnlf4wd) September 23, 2014
The discussion then turned to penalty rates with Leith providing an anecdote about his time as an employee of Target and most of the panel besides Craig Emerson openly in favour of the removal of Sunday penalty rates:
I worked at Tar-get – LvO #majorsass #essaqanda — Jia Ying Kho (@jingjingkhokho) September 23, 2014
.@PatsKarvelas: Whole panel agrees penalty rates policy needs a look-in #essaqanda @ESSA_aus
— James Wong (@james_wong) September 23, 2014
Cutting penalty rates is a little simplistic -CE #essaqanda
— ESSA (@ESSA_aus) September 23, 2014
Also in discussions on unemployment, NAB Chief Economist Alan Oster, brought up the issue of hysteresis in unemployment. This seemed to delight certain members of the audience given the lack of prominence hysteresis gets in many mainstream macroeconomics textbooks:
Hysteresis is a real problem – Alan Oster #essaqanda @ESSA_aus
— Antony Purwono (@AntonyPurwono1) September 23, 2014
Overall, it was a terrific evening full of passionate, interesting and insightful debate and discussion. The #essaqanda hash-tag certainly stimulated discussion, with the panellists themselves even re-tweeting and favouriting tweets by students in the audience. The only downside is that now we have to wait another year until the next ESSA Q&A event.

Critic reviews for Unto the Breach
I blame the show's insatiable need for drama at the cost of any investment in its people. I think Empire is better than this.
This was another week heavy on the emotions and it's really setting us up nicely for the final two episodes.
The feeling that Empire has done a great job of driving home from the start, though, is that particularly complicated sensation that allows us to still receive so much joy from a piece of art, even when we know of the awful deeds done by the artists.
As much fun as it is to watch Empire pull out all the stops (and then throw in a few songs for good measure), the show runs the risk of going too quickly.
For all its tonal seesawing, Empire once again showed, like it did in "False Imposition," that it works best when the family bands together for the greater good.
Mental illness is real, and Andre's continual downward spiral is probably one of the hardest things I've ever watched on television. But the necessity of this image - much like Jamal's sexuality - within the context of a black family can't be overlooked.

This depessingly cold and mostly overcast week marked by record rainfall gets the birders spirits down; until cool bird species counter the malaise. Several good species today were found in Prospect and Greenwood Cemetery late afternoon.
It's now confirmed that there are TWO YELLOW THROATED WARBLERS. About the same time Paige Linden Brams saw the one on the big water snag in front of the Lower Pool back gate,almost simultaneously Rob Bate tweeted the YTWA seen at Terrace Bridge pines.On my lunch hour,I looked for both but missed by minutes when my lunch ended.
A revisit to both spots after work still found me no YTWA. But as compensation,I settled for a terrific looking PRAIRIE WARBLER using the water snag as its domain. An EASTERN PHOEBE,PALM WARBLER ,RUBY CROWNED KINGLET and a PINE WARBLER joined in.
Will Pollard had himself a great hour over in Greenwood. At Sylvan water,Will found a BLUE GROSBEAK. That's not all.In the same area,he added SUMMER TANAGER and INDIGO BUNTING,all after 4 pm.

Presentation Overview
Tips on Building a Mentoring Relationship With Your Managers and Loving Your Job
Most people leave jobs because they can't stand their boss. Your boss has not been promoted to his/her position to coddle you and accept your faults. His/her job is to help you help the company reach its goals. Kristen will share tips on how you can leverage your relationship with your boss so you know what he/she expects of you and provides you the guidance and coaching you need to advance your career.
Kristen will discuss three important career management techniques.
- When you meet your potential boss, you are interviewing them for your potential career coach.
- How to love your job: strengths, engagement and well-being
- Take a chill pill – you can't go wrong. Having a growth mindset towards early career choices.
Presenter: Kristen O'Shea
What is your greatest asset? You and your people. What are people's greatest asset? Their strengths.
Is your job energizing? Is your workplace engaging? Do you get to do what you do best everyday? You spend (or waste) too much of your time, energy and talents from 8a.m. – 5p.m. to be disengaged. Nearly 2/3 of Americans are not engaged in their jobs . The biggest culprits for disengagement include: bad management, unmet workforce needs, and not using your strengths to do what you do best every day. Through our work together, whether it is one-on-one coaching, team training, organizational development projects, or keynote speaking, you will not only identify your talents, but put them into action through the science of building habits. Applying strengths and increasing engagement will lead you to reach your desired outcomes.
My leadership role in pioneering and championing the vision of Kansas State University becoming a Strengths-based campus impacted the engagement, well-being, and retention of a campus of more than 28,000 students. My story is featured in the introduction of Gallup's Clifton Strengths for Students book and highlighted in my Gallup's Clifton Strengths Summit 2018 keynote with an audience of 1500.
"Kristen led my Leadership Greater Topeka class through strengths development and I realized that I better understood a number of people I had just met more than people I had been working with for more than a decade." – Matt Deutsch, CPA, Director, Berberich Trahan & Co., P.A.

You heard that right: characters from a fifth Isekai join the already huge ensemble cast of Isekat Quartet. The first of them, Iwatani Naofumi AKA Shield Hero, is introduced immediately when he peeks into the class where all the other MCs are. He's not transferring to their class, however: their only transfer student seems to be Megumin's familiar, Chomusuke…who unlike Puck, has "student" status.
Raphtalia suddenly encounters Kazuma and Ainz Ooal Gown in the hallway and immediately assumes the latter is a monster that needs to be defeated, but Kazuma calms her down and they join her search for Naofumi. Filo, meanwhile, ends up in the pet area with Hamusuke and Death Knight. Raphtalia and Filo are reunited with the Shield Hero when he protects them from a particularly hard-hit baseball from the bat staff of Mare.
That's pretty much it! The episode's only eleven minutes, after all. Naofumi decides that while he's not 100% sure what's going on, he and his party will try to settle into a school life of following the rules along with the others who have been teleported. It will be interesting to see if he befriends the other lads from Japan…and here's hoping Melty, Malty, or others from his world show up at some point!

Verjuice Nectarine Jelly
3 cups (750ml) Verjuice or riesling wine 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways or 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract 5 tsp gelatine ½ cup water 3 nectarines, cut into fine dice, and 100g green grapes, halved, or about 400g of any fresh fruit (except kiwifruit or papaya as the jellies won't set)
© Annabel Langbein Media
Put the Verjuice, sugar and vanilla pod in a pot and heat until nearly boiling. Turn off the heat and leave to steep for 10 minutes.
Lift out the vanilla pod without scraping out the seeds. Rinse and dry it and store it in your sugar jar to use again later.
Sprinkle the gelatine over the water, stirring until it is evenly absorbed. Mix the soaked gelatine into the hot Verjuice liquid and stir until it is fully dissolved. You will know it is ready when there are no gelatine granules left on the spoon.
Divide the fruit between 6-8 glasses or bowls and pour the Verjuice liquid over the top. Allow to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Remove the set jellies from the fridge 10 minutes before serving.

Cricket, A Sport In Verse (Audiobook)
Read by Tim Graham, Richard Mitchley & Ghizela Rowe (Unabridged: 57mins)
Featuring poems by Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, Lewis Carroll & others.
As the Sun lengthens its days to Summer so a sport begins to dominate the thoughts and actions of many people. This game so encapsulated of village greens, of evening song, of Middle England is now spread far across the world. From the marathon of a 5 day test to the razzle dazzle excitement of 20 Twenty it captures many things; the comforting sound of willow on leather, the slow raised hand of an umpire, the arcane rules and frequent breaks for tea and other necessities sill conjure up the image of a bygone world even though its own is now global TV, night matches and Hawk Eye cameras.
In this volume poets throughout the ages share the agony, the ecstasy and share the pleasure of being part of something very different, very special.

The acclaimed actor will reportedly step into the role of Elizabeth II for the Netflix show's third season, replacing Claire Foy as the period drama moves towards the present day and the character naturally ages.
The Crown dramatises the story of the British royal family, beginning in 1947 with Elizabeth's engagement to Prince Philip and gradually progressing through her reign. Colman will portray the monarch for seasons three and four, which will be set after 1963.
The Broadchurch and Fleabag actor, who this year won a Golden Globe for her role in The Night Manager, is currently the only confirmed cast member for The Crown's upcoming seasons. It is not known who will replace Matt Smith as Prince Philip.
Foy, who herself won a Golden Globe this year, had found plenty of critical acclaim for her portrayal of a young Queen Elizabeth in the show's first two seasons – also earning an Emmy nomination.
Series creator Peter Morgan said it had always been his intention to cast new actors for the main characters as the series progressed, telling Variety that older performers were crucial in "informing" the energy of scenes.
"The feelings we all have as 50-year-olds are different than the feelings we all have as 30-year-olds," he said. "That informs everything we do."
Colman joins the record-breakingly expensive series after it won best television drama at this year's Golden Globes, and John Lithgow's portrayal of Winston Churchill won an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.
The second season is scheduled to debut on Netflix on 8 December, with production under way for season three.

The 96 girls fall season is complete in North Texas and Solar Red leads at the midpoint with Sting Royal and FC Dallas close behind. The Solar Red girls were the only side to go unbeaten in the fall finishing with 8 wins and a draw with a sparkling 18-2 goal differential. Sting Royal sits 2nd with a 7-1-1 record a solid 13-3 goal differential. FC Dallas is third on 20 points and handed Solar Red their only blemish in a 0-0 draw.
ASG Gold Central and Dallas Texans Red are both tied on 15 points with ASG having the better goal differential and a win over the Texans. D'Feeters sit 6th with a record of 4-4-1 with Solar 3 points behind in 7th. There is a definite gap between 7th and the bottom 3 where Mustangs, Solar Blue and Texas Spirit North sit. Mustangs are 8th with 4 points while Solar Blue and Spirit weren't able to notch any wins this fall and sit on 3 and 2 respectively.
The spring should be interesting for sure as the girls grow up and get some indoor play under their belts. Can Solar Red hang onto the top spot? Their defense was stout in the fall but several teams played them tight as five of their wins were by one goal. Can Dallas Texans get it together? ASG definitely has the offensive firepower to move up the standings. Sting Royal is a title contender for sure, but can they get over the top and beat the other big 2? Sting Royal had a loss and a tie against Solar Red and FC Dallas but took care of everyone else. They'll need results against the other top 2 in the spring to get the title. FC Dallas is a solid side but will need a few more goals in the spring to break into the top 2.
In Division 2 Odyssey Gold looks to be the clear class going unbeaten 9-0-0 for the fall and opening up a comfortable 8 point lead over 2nd place Dallas Texans Red South. The fight for second is wide open though as Dallas Texans Red South sit at 19 with NTX Strikers and Sting White both right behind on 17. In Division 3 DFW Tornados White lead on 23 with Wichita Falls Infinity a game behind on 20. Revolution Premier is in the chase at 18 as well.

Constitution of the Dominican Republic
|Constitution of the Dominican Republic
Published in the Official Gazette No. 10805 of July 10, 2015
|Congress of the Dominican Republic
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
the Dominican Republic
|Dominican Republic portal
The Dominican Republic has gone through 39 constitutions, more than any other country, since its independence in 1844.[1][2] This statistic is a somewhat deceiving indicator of political stability, however, because of the Dominican practice of promulgating a new constitution whenever an amendment was ratified. Although technically different from each other in some particular provisions, most new constitutions contained in reality only minor modifications of those previously in effect. Sweeping constitutional innovations were actually relatively rare.[3]
The large number of constitutions does, however, reflect a basic lack of consensus on the rules that should govern the national political life. Most Dominican governments felt compelled upon taking office to write new constitutions that changed the rules to fit their own wishes. Not only did successive governments often strenuously disagree with the policies and the programs of their predecessors, but they often rejected completely the institutional framework within which their predecessors had operated. Constitutionalism—loyalty to a stable set of governing principles and laws rather than to the person who promulgates them—became a matter of overriding importance in the Dominican Republic only after the death of Rafael Trujillo.[3]
Dominicans historically had agreed that government should be representative and vaguely democratic, that there should be civil and political rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. Beyond that, however, consensus broke down. The country actually had been alternately dominated throughout its history by two constitutional traditions, one relatively democratic and the other authoritarian. Rarely were there attempts to bridge the gap between these diametric opposites.[3]
The current Constitution was promulgated on June 13, 2015.[4]
Constitutions through Trujillo[edit]
The first Dominican constitution was promulgated on November 6, 1844, immediately after the nation achieved independence from Haiti. It was a liberal document with many familiar elements—separation of powers, checks and balances, and a long list of basic rights. However, an authoritarian government replaced the country's liberal, democratic government during its first year. The new regime proceeded to write its own constitution. This second constitution considerably strengthened the executive, weakened the legislative and the judicial branches, and gave the president widespread emergency powers, including the power to suspend basic rights and to rule by decree. Thereafter, governance of the country often alternated between liberal and authoritarian constitutional systems.[3]
Even the dictator Rafael Trujillo always took care to operate under the banner of constitutionalism. Under Trujillo, however, the legislature was simply a rubber stamp; the courts were not independent; and basic rights all but ceased to exist. He governed as a tyrant, unfettered by constitutional restrictions.[3]
Constitutions after Trujillo[edit]
After Trujillo's death in 1961, the constitution was amended to provide for new elections and to allow the transfer of power to an interim Council of State. Although promulgated as a new document, the 1962 constitution was actually a continuation of the Trujillo constitution, and it was thus unpopular.[3]
In 1964, Juan Bosch's freely elected, social-democratic government drafted a new and far more liberal constitution. It separated church and state, put severe limits on the political activities of the armed forces, established a wide range of civil liberties, and restricted the rights of property relative to individual rights. These provisions frightened the more conservative elements in Dominican society, which banded together to oust Bosch and his constitution in September 1963. Subsequently, the more conservative 1962 constitution was restored. In the name of constitutionalism, Bosch and his followers launched a revolution in 1965, the objective of which was restoration of the liberal 1963 constitution.[3]
Largely as a result of the United States military intervention of April 1965, the civil war had died down by 1966. With Joaquín Balaguer and his party in control, the Dominicans wrote still another constitution. This one was intended to avert the conflicts and polarization of the past by combining features from both the liberal and the conservative traditions. The 1966 Constitution incorporated a long list of basic rights, and it provided for a strengthened legislature; however, it also gave extensive powers to the executive, including emergency powers. In this way, the country sought to bridge the gap between its democratic and its authoritarian constitutions, by compromising their differences.[3]
Later constitutions were enacted in 1994 and 2002.[5]
Constitution of 2010[edit]
President Leonel Fernández ordered for a new constitution to be drafted. The constitution has faced notable criticism, both abroad and at home, with opponents referring to it as an "injustice" and as "step backwards" for ensuring of human rights in the country, especially towards women and homosexuals. A ban on same-sex marriage[6] and abortion (Article 55[7]) was included at the behest of the Roman Catholic Church[8] and Evangelical Christians.[citation needed] As a result, the Dominican Republic has become the fifth jurisdiction in the world with a complete (no exceptions) ban on abortion (Malta, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Vatican City).
Constitution Day[edit]
Until 2011, a public holiday was held to commemorate Constitution Day on November 6. Since then, it has been held on the closest Monday to that date, in order to ensure a three-day weekend.[9]

I've gotten a few requests for my Taco Soup recipe, so I thought I'd share it today! I thought that the last time I made it, I took pictures along the way for just such an occasion, but I can't seem to find them on my hard-drive...sigh. So, this will not be a tutorial a'la Barb, but you will have some amazing soup anyway!
1 lb. of hamburger
2-3 stalks of celery (depending on how much you like celery)
1 lb. Mango Pico de Gallo (I find this in the produce section of my HEB, if you can't find it, just use any mild Pico de Gallo and add in diced mangoes--the mangoes aren't essential, but add a sweetness to the soup!)
14.5 oz can of kidney beans
14.5 oz can of black beans
14.5 oz can of whole kernel corn
26-28 oz can of Fire-Roasted diced tomatoes
12-14 oz jar of your favorite salsa (I use chipotle flavored, but whatever you like is good)
1 cup of rice (I use regular, but instant should work too)
2 cups water
Add Ons:
Grated Cheese
Tortilla Strips
Brown Hamburger, Celery, and Pico de Gallo in a large pot until meat is good and brown
Add remaining ingredients and stir
Simmer for at least 20 minutes on the stove.
To Serve:
Scoop into bowls and top with grated cheese and tortilla strips. (I use Mexican Blend cheese and my HEB sells these Tri-Colored Tortilla Strips in the Produce section--with the croutons--that make a really pretty presentation!)
**I use organic meat and veggies in this and all the canned goods are "no-salt added", so I also add a dash of black and red pepper to my bowl and my favorite salt-free seasoning. You may season as you see fit!

Creativity Thrives in Adversity
Recently I had to pause my business to take care of my health. Recovering from a major surgery put a lot of limitations on me physically. I won't lie, the experience was challenging for me in ways I never anticipated. As a creative, when we are unable to create, it can severely impact our mental health. One thing that I have learned is that Creativity Thrives in Adversity and where there is a will there is a way.
We all have perceived limitations because our brains are programmed to working a certain way. We tend to be creatures of habit. So when we are faced with adversity, that prevents us from carrying about tasks in our routine ways our brains can send up red flags and shut down. At least, I know mine does. Once we realize the only limitations we have are those that we set upon ourselves, things get a lot easier.
I love to pick up and my camera and get creative at least once a week. It's feels like more of a need than a want. Surgery had me laid up in bed for weeks, and I started to doubt myself, my abilities. My brain began to venture to some dark corners it had never explored before and I was desperately looking for a spark of light to help guide me out. I NEEDED to get back into the studio one way or another!
Creativity thrives in Adversity.
Where to start?
I started by assessing my limitations. Instead of focusing on what I couldn't do I focused on what I could do. At this point in my journey I was able to sit for short periods of time. So I found a big comfy chair and had it set it in the corner of the studio bedroom. Next was to consider what tools I needed and what I had on hand. I had my canon 5D mark iv, it has wifi abilities. I also had my cell phone that has an app to control my camera remotely. A tripod to hold the camera, and 3 lenses a 35mm, 50mm, and a 135mm. These will help provide more variety.
I chose the back bedroom set in my studio for a couple of reasons. One it has my favourite light. Secondly I felt that by being in a smaller, simple space it helped me and my muse to connect and stay focused.
Creativity thrives in adversity and my creative need outweighed my limitations. I was allowed to think differently on how to utilize my strengths to overcome my current limitations.
To accommodating my physical limitations I remained stationary during these sessions. By doing this I learned a lot about myself as an artist and photographer. It has made me stop and take time with my thought process. It has definitely helped me to grow, and I have a new enthusiasm for my work. I have shown myself that creativity thrives in adversity rather than drown in it. While I likely won't stop being an acrobat during my sessions, I will slow down and be more present in the moment.
