Market your car is a fantastic way to get high exposure of your brand—everything was taken care of and it was simple to get high exposure in the areas that we wanted to target most. We heard a lot of feedback—that the Oxford Learning car was seen in various places where parents were and that's exactly what we were aiming for. Market Your Car is not only an integrative part of a cohesive marketing strategy—it's a fun and vibrant part that we recommend to not only other companies, but to our franchisees as well. The investment pays for itself almost immediately-- as far as we're concerned, it's a no brainer.

Everyone is suddenly catching Pokémon fever again. Here's what's going on.
You may have heard stories of people hunting down Pokémon on their office desks, in hospital rooms, and even in bathrooms.
Pokémon Go is a game that uses your phone's GPS and clock to detect where and when you are in the game and make Pokémon "appear" around you (on your phone screen) so you can go and catch them.
But since the games came out for Nintendo's handheld consoles, fans all around the world have shared a dream: What if Pokémon weren't limited to the games' world? What if they were real and inhabited our world? What if we could all be Ash Ketchum, the TV show's star trainer, who wanders the world in his quest to catch them all and earn his honors by defeating all the gym leaders? I want a Pikachu in real life, dammit!
Unfortunately, Pokémon aren't real — at least not yet. But technology has evolved to be able to simulate a world in which Pokémon are real. That's essentially what Pokémon Go attempts to do: By using your phone's ability to track the time and your location, the game imitates what it would be like if Pokémon really were roaming around you at all times, ready to be caught and collected. And given that many original Pokémon fans are now adults, this idea has the extra benefit of hitting a sweet spot of nostalgia, helping boost its popularity.
The game makes some big changes. For one, the way you navigate the world is obviously different. In the handheld games, you simply use a controller to move around the in-game world the developers have made. In Pokémon Go, you have to travel around the real word, and the game uses your GPS and clock to detect your location on the in-game map and decide which Pokémon appear around you.
Pokemon Go is the fever that has everyone sneezing direclty form their phones, and with the utility of augmented reality with it, life has again become so much fun for everyone. Why don't you go on and download this amazing game, turn up the heat y'all!

Oculus announced yesterday that it is exploring VR in the educational space, with pilot programs in Taiwan, Japan, and Seattle. VR's untapped potential in the classroom can help students visualize subjects like history or social studies in a totally revolutionary way.
The pilot program is called Oculus Education. The plan will be to bring Oculus Go and Rift headsets to schools, libraries and museums in Taiwan, Japan and Seattle.
The Oculus Education program in 2017 partnered with research institutions such as medical universities to test the potential in these arenas as well.
The current focus of the program is on training teachers and instructors, with the goal of creating a lasting impact on the field. The program is also trying to collaborate with institutions having some autonomy on their own setup.
In Taiwan, Oculus is donating its headsets to the Taiwan Internet and E-Commerce Association (TiEA). Each institution will decide how to best use VR in their community. In Seattle, Oculus has partnered with Seattle Public Schools to create a VR content creation course, with the intention of the student's content creations eventually being used in the classroom. In Japan, the focus is on distance learning and applications for high school students.
Another educational experience Oculus is exploring is "Breaking Boundaries in Science" which looks at the contributions of three remarkable women of science; Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and Grace Hopper.
Facebook is wise to delve into the field of education, with the potential to completely alter the ways people teach and students learn.


As well as the practical concerns connected with returning to work, such as what financial assistance you may be entitled to, how flexible your employer is with time off when you need to stay home with your child who is poorly, etc – you may also be thinking about how you will manage with spending less time with your child. The time you do spend with your family can often be filled with lots of time-consuming activities such as cooking dinner, bathing the kids and getting them to bed on time. Try to introduce routines and delegate responsibilities to all family members old enough to help, this way you can save time and spend it doing something enjoyable with your children, from reading them that bedtime story, through to just having a cuddle at the end of a long and hectic day.
For more information on the various types of leave and benefits you may be entitled to, visit the Working Families website where you can download free factsheets or phone their free helpline for parents and carers on 0800 013 0313.
It might also be worth having a chat with your HR Department to see if they are able to make things a little easier for you, or whether they are able to offer you flexible working. DirectGov offer some great advice about who can make an application to apply for flexible working.

The Flow Pack packaging system guarantees the quality of the product, because it has a tamper-evident seal. To use or consume the product packaged with this equipment, the packaging has to be broken. This differentiates it from folded packaging, which is easy to open.
Pioneers in the new packaging system.
Security for the final consumer.
Given that it is a flexible packaging system, the final products must be transported inside a box to ensure their integrity. With correct packaging that requires no more care and attention than adequate skidding – the product arrives safe and sound to the places where it will be put on sale.
The versatility of the Flow Pack system horizontal packaging machines makes them the allies of manufacturers. This is equipment to be recognized in the world context, to continue producing efficiently and with quality.


Japanese designer Satoshi Sugie wants to redesign the wheelchair; but first he had to reinvent the wheel. "We created a front wheel made up of 24 smaller ones, so it can make very tight turns," explains the CEO and cofounder of WHILL. The California-based startup wants to transform the everyday lives of wheelchair users -- an estimated 1.2 million of whom live in the UK.
WHILL has created the Type-A, with two "omniwheels" mounted at the front of its 60cm-wide frame, giving a turning radius of just 71cm. The four-wheel drive can traverse grass and gravel, and is controlled by a mouse rather than a joystick. Users can also adjust the chair remotely using a smartphone app. Sugie claims the battery will last for 19km at speeds up to 10kph, and that the chair gives users a more active posture thanks to its raised sliding seat. "We wanted to combat the negative association with illness or weakness," he says. "I met a young boy who said he gave up going to school because he was embarrassed by his wheelchair."
The $9,500 (£5,600) Type-A will be released in the US this autumn; due to US Food and Drug Administration wheelchair regulations, the first 250 will be sold as personal mobility devices. A second model for medical use, called Type-M, is currently being developed. Sugie hopes to launch it in the US, Japan and Europe in 2015. "The wheelchair hasn't changed for more than 80 years," says Sugie. "That is too long."

Carlisle Townhomes – Former Tire and Wheel Site
For over 50 years, this site was used for operations for the former Tire and Wheel factory. In 2013, the abandoned buildings were demolished, an environmental analysis was performed and the site was prepared for redevelopment. In 2016, a mixed use development was in design. The proposed plan included development of townhomes, multi-family duplex style homes, garden apartments, open recreational space and commercial office buildings. Phase II is currently set for completion in early 2020 and the next portions of construction are soon to follow.

The Koper's Trail is located in the Rifle Mountain Park about 15 miles north of Rifle, Colorado. The city of Rifle created the park in 1921. The city was taking advantage of a law that allowed them to acquire land near their municipalities to create and preserve park land. The mountain park has been well known by the residents of Garfield County for decades as a nearby place to escape the heat and enjoy a relaxing day. In recent years it has become just as popular with rock climbers that come to scale the cliffs of the canyon.
The southern most trailhead for the Koper's Trail can be found just before the spot where the road first crosses Rifle Creek. The main parking area is across the creek and there are also a few spots near a picnic area before the crossing.
The trail is well worn and easy to follow but there are a few places that are a little harder to negotiate.
The trail is sandwiched between the canyon wall and Rifle Creek. It makes for a very peaceful environment that is disturbed only by the occasional vehicle on the road.
People are often surprised when they visit the ice cave in the middle of the summer and see that there is indeed still ice in it. A little known fact about caves is that the temperature inside of the cave is equal to the average temperature over the course of the year outside the cave. This canyon is narrow with high cliffs and sees only a few hours of direct sunlight each day making the average temperature quite low. There is a seep that rains down on the cave from above that keeps the cave moist so it has something to make the ice from. It also makes the ice very slick if you try to walk on it.
There is a trail sign pointing to the Upper Ice Cave on the other side of this cave. The upper cave is less than a half mile up stream.
Rock climbers have left quite a few permanent anchors on the cliffs. There are over 250 bolted routes in the canyon.
The trail up ahead was clogged with a group of rock climbers so this ended up being the turn around point. We drove up to the other end of the trail and there was a large group of rock climbers there also so we will have to return another time to get pictures of the upper ice cave and to re-hike the whole trail.
There are numerous wildflowers like this Fendler's waterleaf. Rifle Creek also has a lot of poison ivy in places so be sure to especially watch out for that.
The Rifle Mountain Park has numerous picnic areas from which to choose. The gravel road is well oiled to keep down the dust. Rainbow trout up to 20" long have been taken from East Rifle Creek so you might consider doing a little fishing in the area. At times you can spot a big one lurking under an overhang in the bank. While in the area you might also consider visiting the fish hatchery and Rifle Falls. If you would like to see it for yourself then all you have to do is 'Take a hike'.

Israeli court orders demolition of Jewish settlement in West Bank
The 17 buildings will be removed within 18 months.
By Ed Adamczyk

JERUSALEM , Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Israel's Supreme Court ordered the evacuation and demolition of a Netiv Ha'avot, West Bank, outpost built for Jewish settlers.
The ruling Thursday by a three-judge panel came after the left-wing Peace Now organization, with several Palestinians who claim ownership of the land, petitioned the court earlier this year. The court ordered the 17 buildings, located 11 miles south of Jerusalem in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, to be demolished, saying, "No one disputes that all the buildings were built illegally with neither zoning permits for the outpost nor necessary permissions. The state is obligated to enforce the zoning and building laws."
The court set an 18-month deadline to raze the structures, built in a neighborhood in the West Bank town of Elazar. Israel's state attorney maintained in court the settlement was legally constructed.
At issue is Israel's continuing interest in allowing building permits for construction of homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank, an area which would be under Palestinian control should a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ever be reached. The move by Israel to populate the West Bank with Jewish settlers has been criticized by the United Nations, the United States and the European Union.
RELATED White House: Israel settlement expansion 'serious threat' to 2-state solution
Naftali Bennett of Israel's right-wing Habayit Hayehudi party was also critical of the judges' decisions, saying leftists who have given up on seeing a Palestinian state are using the legal system to enforce their positions, commenting, "When the Supreme Court collaborates with them, this erodes the public trust in the court."
Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said a separate ruling ordered last month by the Supreme Court, to raze the West Bank settlement of Amona, would be concluded by the December 25 deadline. The settlement includes 40 homes built on private Palestinian land.

Favors received through Fr. Jose Maria's intercession
Some of the many favors that have been received by those who have gone to the intercession of Fr. Jose Maria Hernandez Garnica
Favors 02/26/2016
Confidential folder
I lost a folder containing important confidential documents at a bus stop. Very upset, I entrusted the matter to Fr. Jose Maria, asking that it to fall into good hands.
Almost immediately after doing so, my cell phone began to ring and a friendly gentleman told me he had found the folder. Realizing the importance of the content, he said he would be happy to give it back to me if I came to his home. Overjoyed, I went to pick it up and told my benefactor what had happened. Then I gave him a prayer card of Fr. Jose Maria, which he was happy to accept.

My daughter's name is Almudena, but at home we call her "Chiqui"
This summer, I have been in charge of organizing a program for girls who want to go to Ireland for a month to learn English. Knowing that Fr. Jose Maria had begun the apostolic work of Opus Dei in that country, I decided to entrust him with finding people who wanted to sign up.
When I began to pray to him I already had a group of six girls aged 16 to 21. But I was interested in organizing another group for 8 to 13 year-olds, and so far no one had called.
Then a friend phoned to say he had decided to enroll his 12-year-old daughter in the program. The daughter's name is Almudena, but at home they call her "Chiqui," he said. Then I remembered that this was also Fr. Jose Maria's nickname, so it was easy to see his intercession in this first sign-up for the new group. Now every day I am asking him to find at least 3 or 4 new sign-ups.
Happy in his final days
Today a friend and co-worker died who from the beginning of his illness I have been entrusting to the intercession of Fr. Jose Maria.
Before he died he was able to settle all his "earthly" affairs, and also his spiritual ones. With the peace that comes from a serene conscience, he was very happy in his final days here on earth. I am convinced that this was the result of the intercession of Fr. Jose Maria, who helped him to accept his disease with dignity and die in God's grace. This is one of the 15 favors that I have entrusted to the person who, like me, was a mining engineer.

This application includes pre-emergent control for many grassy weeds, including the annoying crabgrass. The procedure is done prior to crabgrass germination and creates a barrier in the turf, prohibiting this eyesore from entering your lawn so it never gets to take hold. The pre-emergent weed control is blended with a premium dry granular fertilizer, so your grass grows better while the weeds die.
In this application, we blanket your entire lawn with a selective herbicide to provide broadleaf weed control for hundreds of annoying weeds. If present, dandelions and other broadleaf weeds will wilt and die shortly after the treatment, leaving your grass looking smooth, lush and pristine.
This treatment consists of a premium dry granular fertilizer with slow release nitrogen, which provides steady food for your lawn so it stays thick and green. Broadleaf weed control is also applied as necessary, to take care of any remaining broadleaf weeds that may have emerged in your grass.
As with the early summer treatment, we apply slow release nitrogen for maximum feed and a lush, luxurious lawn. If broadleaf weeds are present, we will spray them dead.
This application is probably the most beneficial for your lawn. While your lawn is preparing for winter by storing food and nutrients in its root system, it is important to feed it what it wants. This promotes the health of the grass plants, and ensures they will be ready to grow lush and green early next spring.
If an insect or disease appears in your lawn, we will notify you of the problem and rectify it. While lawns in the Hagerstown area are susceptible to certain insects and diseases, they are usually only treated on an as needed basis.
1. The presence of moles looking for food (they cause small bumps in long lines through the grass). Moles also eat earthworms so we can check to make sure.
2. Japanese and May/June Beetle damage to tree and shrub leaves in summer and early fall (they are the adult form of grubs and like to eat foliage close to home).
3. Are you finding small holes in your lawn? This may be a strong indication that skunks, racoons, birds, moles and voles and opossums are tearing up the lawn to retrieve grubs that are actively growing in your lawn. Please Note: The animals noted above also eat earthworms but damage may not be as severe.
4. Is the grass dying in sections of the lawn and when you pull up the grass the grass starts to roll back.?
E-mail us now for Grub Control Services.
All Lawn Care Service Treatments are completed by a Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Licensed Applicator. Price is per application. The price quoted is based on our 5-part Lawn Care Treatment Program / Health Care For Your Lawn so that your lawn receives the proper care and attention all season long. If the client does not maintain the lawn in a reasonable manner or as suggested in the instructions which are provided following each application then you should not or expect the quality results we guarantee.

Newly found petrified wood inspected for ecotourism prospects in Kyaukpadaung Township »
Newly found petrified wood inspected for ecotourism prospects in Kyaukpadaung Township
This fossil unearthed in Thanbo village was found 17 feet under the ground level and the length of this petrified wood cannot be confirmed yet as the digging has not finished. The petrified wood is estimated at six feet seven inches, for now.
A team led by U Myo Min Aung, assistant director of the Directorate of Hotels and Tourism (Bagan), accompanied by staff and officials from the NyaungU District Information and Public Relations Department went on a study tour to Thanbo village in Kyaukpadaung Township to check the fossils recently discovered and carry out feasibility studies on the community-based tourism.
The pieces of petrified wood and iron smelting furnace were discovered in Thanbo village-tract, Kyaukpadaung Township, NyaungU District in Mandalay Region. The village administrator invited officials from the Directorate of Hotels and Tourism to observe the fossils and production of traditional medicines in the village.
Petrified wood is commonly found in Kyaukpadaung Township, Mandalay Region and Thanbo village is one of the sites to collect pieces of petrified wood, the residents said.
This fossil unearthed in Thanbo village was found 17 feet under the ground level and the length of this petrified wood cannot be confirmed yet as the digging has not finished. The petrified wood is estimated at six feet and seven inches, for now, said U Maung Maung Soe, an administrator.
The administrator has collected approximately 100 primate fossils, yet the fossils of living beings have been found in seven pieces only, an expert guessed.
Those animal fossils discovered are horn, the jawbone of elephant, tortoiseshell, the skeleton of cattle and the oldest primate which is similar to the earliest fossils found in Myaing Township, Pakokku District.
This village is next to the Koekway forest reserve on Popa Road, which is likely to be home to thousands of mammals and aquatic animals, U Maung Maung Soe explained.
During the Bagan Dynasty, a forest in Thanbo village was the main supplier of weapons so lots of furnaces were seen.
The village is relying on traditional medicines and they made herbal medicines collected by the Popa area. The villagers sell them to the visitors to Mount Popa.
The department suggests visitors drop in Thanbo village in Kyaukpadaung Township to observe petrified wood. — Ko Htein (KPD)/GNLM

Among the Best
Several RISD artists rose to the top of various year-end roundups of creative achievement.
With each new project, Kara Walker MFA 94 PT/PR continues to make a huge impact on contemporary culture.
As almost every media outlet imaginable sums up the year and/or the decade, a number of RISD people are popping up in the best-of lists that are emerging as 2019 comes to a close.
Among the highlights, Kara Walker MFA 94 PT/PR is cited in Artsy's short list of The Most Influential Artists of 2019.
Since her Fons Americanus installation opened this fall at the Tate Modern in London, people have been deeply moved by the massive indoor fountain and its multilayered commentary on race, power, inequality and all that ails us in the US.
Walker's Fons Americanus at the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall
"Always transformative and urgent, Walker never hesitates to push and reinvent herself in order to arrive at the most prescient modes of expression," writes Alina Cohen.
Her elaborate, 40-foot-tall sculptural installation "reaffirms [her] position as one of the boldest, most ambitious artists working today."
Walker's memorable Sugar Baby
Walker also earned the #2 spot on ARTnews' roundup of The Most Important Artworks of the 2010s for her mind-blowing piece from 2014 called A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby.
"It was an indictment of the enduring vestiges of racial exploitation, blown up to discomfiting scale," notes Tessa Solomon. "Though it was destroyed at the end of its run, it remains an indelible, unforgettable work—a piece people will be talking and arguing about for decades to come."
Wolfson's (Female figure) from 2014
ARTnews also selected (Female figure), a totally disconcerting, life-sized robot by Jordan Wolfson 03 SC, as among the leading artworks of the 2010s.
"Being alone with her was like being in one of those nightmares where whatever horrific things you've repressed have congealed into the monster who has it in for you," notes Sarah Douglas.
Eisenman's Sketch for a Fountain (2017)
The incredible, multitalented artist Nicole Eisenman 89 PT also made ARTnews' list for producing one of the most important works of the decade.
"Having long been known best as a painter, [she] has recently become one of our finest sculptors," writes Claire Selvin.
from Holzer's 2019 projection piece Vigil
In an Artsy roundup of The Best Public Art of 2019, the endlessly inventive artist Jenny Holzer MFA 77 PT is cited for Vigil, a text projection that scrolled across Rockefeller Center after dark, reminding New Yorkers and the millions of other people who visit Manhattan every evening of the toll gun violence takes on American society.
"I have always loved Holzer's acerbic and potent aphorisms that take the tempo of our times," notes curator Natalie King.
from Antoni's I am fertile ground
Three exhibitions featuring work by alumni made Hyperallergic's 2019 list of the top-10 shows in Brooklyn. In I am fertile ground, which was on view earlier this fall in the Catacombs at Green-Wood Cemetery, Janine Antoni MFA 89 PT presented photographs of her own body and those of loved ones.
"Dramatically lit from skylights above the darkened spaces of these historical vaults, the works are reminiscent of medieval reliquaries, Eastern Orthodox icons or personal devotional objects," writes Laura Raicovich. "Antoni's project connects mortality, desire, intimacy, and the ways in which absence and longing are a fundamental part of life."
from the two-person show Maddy Parrasch & Emma Soucek
The celebratory yet poignant show Maddy Parrasch & Emma Soucek—on view last spring and early summer at Safe Gallery—presented the interplay of work by two close friends who met at RISD: Maddy Parrasch 19 PT, who died in a car accident during her senior year at RISD, and Emma Soucek 18 PT, who remains forever changed by their friendship.
"Often yielding abstractions of startling visual joy," writes Louis Block, "the work matched the creative fervor of its disparate inspirations—Legos, Giotto's frescoes—and offered an important reminder: technology has not put an end to alchemy, it has merely changed its language."
from Suh's recent solo show at the Brooklyn Museum
One: Do Ho Suh, which ran from fall 2018 through early May 2019 at the Brooklyn Museum, struck a chord with everyone who understands and empathizes with notions of displacement, immigration and nomadic lifestyles.
Born in Seoul and now based in London and NYC, Do Ho Suh 94 PT has earned an international reputation for his signature translucent silk installations exploring notions of home.
"Walking through One at the Brooklyn Museum this year was like being confronted with all of New York City's ghosts," notes Iliana Novick.
In the publishing realm, NBC News selected Tiny Feet Between the Mountains, the debut picture book by Hanna Cha 17 IL, for its 2019 list of 13 Best Asian American Children's and Young Adult Books.
In addition to noting the "striking illustrations" she frequently posts on social media, the network notes that Cha's new book "incorporates aspects of Korean mythology while also celebrating the power of young girls."
Saturday, the second picture book from Oge Mora 16 IL, follows her Caldecott Honor-winning debut Thank You, Omu! Its warm story and brilliant use of cut paper illustrations earned it a place on both Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Children's Books of Fall 2019 and the Fall 2019 Kids' Indie Next List.
"It's exploring [the life of] a single parent, it's exploring an African American child's navigation through the world, but it's not about that."
author matt de la peña
This month NPR also highlighted Saturday on All Things Considered as among a handful of new Kids' Books To Read Again, And Again, And Again, And Again, And Again, And...
"It's exploring [the life of] a single parent, it's exploring an African American child's navigation through the world, but it's not about that," notes children's book author Matt de la Peña. "We're starting to see what I call Diversity 2.0, which is: Here's a character who is diverse in a story that isn't overtly about diversity."
Liese's Social Medium is in good company on ARTnews' list of The Best Art Books of the Decade.
And the book edited by Center for Arts & Language Director Jennifer Liese and released in 2016 has earned a place on The Best Art Books of the Decade list compiled by ARTnews.
Called Social Medium: Artists Writing, 2000–2015, it's a "funky sampler of recent writings by artists" that blurs the boundaries between creating and commenting on art.

Eisenman's Perpetual Motion
After a hugely productive year, Nicole Eisenman took a break from making to deliver the RISD Museum's Gail Silver Memorial Lecture.
Unfinished Train of Thought
Works by Maddy Parrasch 19 PT and Emma Soucek 18 PT speak to a rich creative conversation cut short.
Walker Connects with Students
When Macarthur Award-winning artist Kara Walker MFA 94 PT/PR returned to RISD for an open conversation, students were hungry to hear her thoughts.

✅ Building a decent chest is on every guy's list of gym goals. A well developed set of pecs can make you look much bigger and more imposing than you really are. It's really the great bodybuilding illusion.
✅ If you're smart, you will want to learn how to grow your chest before you worry about every other muscle group. Arms are easy to grow, you almost don't even have to do anything at all but chest requires effort.
✅ The reason why you have a small chest is pretty simple, you don't lift heavy enough, you have poor form and you eat like a teenage girl instead of a man. Well not so simple but you get the damn idea.
✅ So it can be that you only need to fix one thing or many things, whatever it is, you will find the info you need to change your current fortunes or misfortunes I should say, in the next few paragraphs.
You won't get very big if you don't put your muscles under enough tension to induce growth. You don't lift for comfort, you lift to get big enough where you look like you at least lift. Do you even lift fool? Or as big as you want to get. Some dudes seem to want to look like animals, if that's your thing, it's all good. This info can be applied for whatever size you want to reach.
What is heavy? It means a weight where getting 6-8 good reps is a real struggle for survival. The intensity needs to be high. No girly sets allowed.
Squeeze a weight plate between your palms.
Raise it to your chest, with your fingers pointing forward.
Raise your elbows so that your arms are parallel with the floor.
Exhale as you slowly extend your elbows and push the plate out in front of you.
Inhale as you slowly pull the plate back in to your chest.


Which 3 words would you use to describe yourself?
What made you start caring about the seas?
I always respected the ocean and loved it but seeing it infested with rubbish made me uncomfortable. It felt wrong. I picked up the first piece of rubbish and never stopped. Today wherever I am, I find myself joining local ocean-protecting activities.
What do you find most challenging about the work that you do?
I suppose it's not getting frustrated. The situation with waste management in the Philippines is without doubt critical and is already affecting natural stability of the archipelago and threatening the wellbeing of the whole Pacific. If the situation is so critical today with very little being done to change it, what is to happen tomorrow?
What is the most rewarding part of the work that you do?
It's feeling gratitude from the ocean. Once you start doing it, it's impossible to stop because you can feel that gratitude – be it from the ocean itself or from your own heart.
Aside from Ocean Hour, what else would you do to help save the seas & beaches of the Philippines?
I think if every one of us started doing just one little thing to save the ocean, the world would become a different place. I don't have any ambition to widen my activities. As a person who is not indifferent to my environment, I will simply do what I can. Perhaps years from now I will still be picking rubbish on the beach, wherever I go.
What would you advise Filipinos do to save the seas? Why should they help save our seas?
Buy whole, package-free foods. Shop with reusable bags. Minimize waste by reusing your plastic items. Educate your children about littering. Volunteer at local beach clean-ups or organize your own.
SeaNN is an independent reporting network focused on news about Philippine beaches & seas. We are composed of volunteers who share a love for the Philippine seas and actively participate in information dissemination via social media. Our Facebook page-based "newscast" is from Monday-Friday at 9pm-10pm.

Madonna loves Christian Audigier's label, but will we?
A blog by asimina in General
Entry posted by asimina · November 30, 2009
He is one of Hollywood's most popular celebrity designers, beloved by the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, David Beckham and Mariah Carey. Now Christian Audigier, the man behind the Ed Hardy label, is opening his first boutique in the UK, prompting the question: are we ready for his tattoo-inspired, crystal-encrusted clothes?
The popularity of the Ed Hardy range owes nothing to style magazines or fashionistas - it has become famous for its inclusion in celebrity wardrobes.
Although the designs of skulls, roses and tigers are the work of US tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy, they have been transformed into a global brand by French designer Audigier, who has covered a wall in his Los Angeles office with 70 paparazzi shots of Madonna wearing his clothes. Audigier says he is now working with the star to produce her own clothing range.
He was also meant to be working with Michael Jackson on a clothing brand at the time of the singer's death in June, and Audigier created stage outfits which were to be used in Jackson's comeback tour. The free publicity from these celebrity endorsements has proved a successful marketing plan - this month, Hubert Guez, chief executive of Ed Hardy, predicted that the brand would generate sales of $400m this year.
'I associate the brand with Madonna,' says Ellie Crompton, style editor of Heat magazine. 'It would make sense for them to collaborate on a project. He's a strong horse to back in fashion, and part of the interest comes from his personality. He's a crazy character and fashion loves a character.'
As Ed Hardy clothing has become more famous, so has Audigier. The designer, who started his career working for 80s brands such as Fiorucci and Naf Naf, is as flamboyant as the sparkling T-shirts and hooded tops that have made him rich. Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson were guests at his 50th birthday party last year.
In an interview with American GQ last month, Audigier said he was due to appear in a film with rapper 50 Cent and to record an album with Kanye West. He told GQ: 'Obama was 200% advertising. I promote myself to sell my brands. Because now I am a kind of celeb. I am in a different world than the fashion industry. I am with Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Madonna. I build me as a celebrity.'
But will his clothing range catch on in Britain when the store opens in west London's Westfield Centre this week? 'Stars like David Beckham and Madonna have a massive reach with the British public,' says Crompton, 'so I can see it having a far-reaching appeal to the mass market. But how long can Audigier make that last? The label's got a very strong image, but I don't see how he can diversify the brand. It might be this year's fad.'

Refugees…Who Are They? Really, Who are They?
You may want to see this video, which I found to be congruent with the situation we encountered and tells about some of the good work being done. Following the video, I offer some personal insights into the facts about the refugees and some fiction that should be dispelled.
Over the past few days I have encountered people who have asked a simple question, "Are the refugees all 'very strong, powerful men, and young'?" This is a quote that they recently heard in a political debate and seems to have been generally accepted as fact. When I have responded that this characterization is decidedly wrong I have been told by some that: 1) we were only shown what some functionary wanted us to see or 2) I must have been fooled. This first allegation would be hard to pull off, getting thousands of refugees and hundreds of workers together in some grand conspiracy; working together to put on an elaborate show for us. Not very likely. The second allegation about being foolish is also hard to comprehend. What is more likely to be the truth, the statements of a firsthand eye witness or the statements of a person running for president, who has never been there? Who has the motivation to be less than truthful? Who is the real fool?
I believe that there is an irrational fear of refugees in the United States, which is quite strange since we are a nation of refugees and immigrants! The actual facts are different from what we hear from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Is that hard to believe; that politicians might tells us something that is false or bend the facts for a few votes? So what are the facts?
The U.S. State Department (who issues asylum status to refugees) has stated that of the Syrians entering the U.S., "only about 2 percent of the Syrian refugees entering the United States have been single men of 'combat age.' Roughly half of the Syrian refugees are children, and 2.5 percent are adults over 60." The rest of course, are women. These refugees would hardly be the greatest threat our country faces!
The refugees on the move in Europe are people who had families, jobs, happiness and a decent life prior to the wars in their countries. Belief that in some way unarmed men and women could in some way 'fight the regime' is simply absurd. The bulk of the population has gone from peace to being in the crossfire in a war. They are doing what we would all do. They are getting themselves and their families out of there!
To a person, each refugee we spoke with said that war was the reason for their departure and that when peace arrives, they will migrate home. They all mentioned a desire to have their children in school, to work and have a place to live. None were looking to be supported by governmental social services, in fact most expressed surprise that they were even getting help from charitable organizations.
The people we encountered were family members, independent, hardworking, proud of their heritage, peaceful and full of hope for the future. They were very much like Americans, very much like you and me.

Fire Safety Facts & Stats
Fire Statistics and Standards
When fires are extinguished in the early stages:
Loss of life is minimal.
Ninety-three (93) percent of all fire-related deaths occur once the fire has progressed beyond the early stages. (Source: 1991-1995 NFIRS study)
Direct property damage is minimal.
Ninety-five (95) percent of all direct property damage occur once the fire has progressed beyond the early stages. (Source: 1991-1995 NFIRS study)
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires that every building or structure be designed, constructed, and maintained to protect occupants who are not intimate with the initial fire development for the time needed to evacuate, relocate, or defend in place.
According to the NFPA, a successful layered fire protection plan should be designed so that reliance for safety to life does not depend solely on any single safeguard. Additional safeguards shall be provided for life safety in case any single safeguard is ineffective due to inappropriate human actions or system failure.
Similar to NFPA, the International Building Code and International Fire Code both provide a system of protection schemes so as not to rely on a single safeguard to protect building occupants.
Other fire facts:
The United States has the highest number of people killed by fires each year. (Source: Geneva Association, World Fire Statistics No. 28)
In 2018, public fire departments responded to an estimated 1,318,500 fires in the United States, of which 499,000 occurred in structures, 181,500 occurred in vehicles, and 607,000 occurred in outside properties.*
A fire department responds to a fire somewhere in the United States every 24 seconds.*
A fire occurs in a structure at the rate of one every 63 seconds, and a home fire occurs every 87 seconds.*
Fires occur in highway vehicles at the rate of one every 2 minutes 54 seconds, and there is a fire in an outside and other property every 52 seconds.*
In 2018, there were 3,655 civilian (non-firefighters) fire deaths and 15,200 civilian fire injuries.*
Seventy-four percent (74%) of all fire deaths occur in the home.*
Nationwide, there was a civilian fire death every 144 minutes in 2018.*
$11.1 billion in property damage occurred in structure fires, including $8 billion in property loss in home fires in 2018.*

The Taiwanese government will proceed with its plan to phase out the use of nuclear energy, despite citizens voting against the policy in a recent referendum, the country's economic minister announced yesterday. Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was elected to government in January 2016 having a policy of creating a "nuclear-free homeland" by 2025. Under this policy, Taiwan's six operable power reactors will be decommissioned as their 40-year operating licences expire. Shortly after taking office, the DPP government passed an amendment to the Electricity Act, passing its phase-out policy into law. However, in a referendum held on 24 November, voters chose to abolish that amendment. The Ministry of Economic Affairs said the amendment was officially removed from the Electricity Industry Act on 2 December. At a press conference yesterday "to explain the results of the referendum on energy issues", Minister of Economic Affairs Shen Jong-chin said "there would be no extension or restarts of nuclear power plants in Taiwan due to subjective and objective conditions, as well as strong public objection".

Renewables – onshore wind
More than 2,000 jobs were lost in Scotland's onshore wind energy sector as government support was withdrawn, new statistics show. The losses between 2016 and 2017 – a 29% year-on-year reduction – reflect a UK Government decision to lock onshore wind projects out of the energy market in 2015. The fall was mirrored in solar power, where 100 Scottish jobs were lost after that technology was also left unable to access auctions to sell its clean power at scale. The new survey, conducted by the Office for National Statistics, showed employment in low-carbon heat decreased by 14% from 2,800 to 2,400. The offshore wind sector saw a 55% employment increase from 2,200 to 3,400 roles, while energy from waste and biomass jobs also increased by 75%, from 1,200 to 2,100.

The wind-power industry's hard work to lower the levelised cost of energy paid off in 2018, as report after report confirmed the sector as a mainstream technology that can beat most other generating sources on price. 2018 was a turning point, with several respected bodies concluding that the costs of wind-generated electricity had reached a point where wind energy could be viewed as a mainstream generation technology. To underscore this, further plans were announced for subsidy-free wind energy projects in various parts of the world. This changed perception of wind energy did not happen overnight, of course. Our cost comparison chart (below) shows onshore wind is now cheaper than gas over most of the range of wind prices.

If we look at the total system change going on in energy out of context, the picture could be rosy. But in climate-change context, the transition is not going fast enough. And it is held back by the oil and gas industries' diehard advocacy of gas, in a world where the IEA tells us the carbon budget is used up, and no more fossil fuel infrastructure of any kind can be built. This presentation considers how and when Big Oil's rearguard action will stop, and they themselves genuinely begin to transition.

Bill McKibben: Vermont's Middlebury College announced on Wednesday that it was divesting its holdings in fossil fuel companies. Given that more than a thousand institutions with endowments totaling more than $8tn have made similar pledges, it might not seem so newsworthy – but Middlebury was one of the first to reverse course. Six years ago the college flatly rejected divestment, and the shift makes it clear why big oil's purchase on our economy and our society is eroding.

Wylfa
Construction of a new nuclear power plant on the Isle of Anglesea in the UK, roughly 100 miles from Dundalk, looks set to go ahead with concerned parties invited to make submissions to Louth County Council before Friday February 15. Wylfa Newydd is a proposed new nuclear station on a site adjacent to the old Magnox Power Station that was shut down in 2015. An application to build two advanced boiling water reactors was submitted by Horizon Nuclear Power to the Office of Nuclear Regulation on 4 April 2017. Louth County Council are inviting the submissions as part of a transboundary environmental consultation that is taking place on the development.

Multi-award winning bee keeper Katie Hayward, who runs Felin Honeybees, at Cemlyn, near Cemaes Bay, Anglesey, is one the last people living in immediate proximity to the now suspended Wylfa Newydd development at Cemaes Bay. Since, the nuclear plans were first mooted, the future of Katie's farm, honey business and education centre was in "limbo" and many of her activities ground to a halt when she was told she would have to leave her property. Now, with the project officially suspended, Katie says she is feeling a little more "optimistic" about her future and anticipates at least a 12 month reprieve to get her farm business back on track.

Nuclear Finance
The UK government needs to make up its mind whether it is serious about nuclear and prepared to do it properly, which means it has to make key strategic decisions, stick to them over the long term and allow a supply chain to be developed and sustained over decades, an economist specialising in energy infrastructure has said. In an article published on his website, Prof. Dieter Helm of the University of Oxford said Hitachi's recent decision to suspend work on plans to build two UK Advanced Boiling Water Reactors at the Wylfa Newydd nuclear site in north Wales "has been a long time coming and is not at all surprising". It comes at a crossroads for the energy sector, he said. Hitachi said it had suspended the Wylfa project because of rising construction costs and a failure to reach an agreement on financing with the UK government. Prof. Helm said one option for nuclear policy is for the government to use the regulated asset base (RAB) model for EDF's planned two-unit Sizewell C project. RAB financing would transform nuclear economics because it is a well-tried model and should produce a lower cost of capital and a very different risk sharing profile, Prof. Helm said. RAB financing is essentially a type of contract drawn up with the backing of government, which calculates the costs and profits of a project before it is started, and allocates an investor's profits from day one. A government regulator sets a fixed number, the RAB, which attempts to account for all the future costs involved in the completion of a project. The regulator then also sets a fixed rate of return for the investors based on those costs. Prof. Helm criticised the contract the contract for differences model used for Hinkley Point C, saying it assumed ministers knew what future fossil fuel prices would be and knew what the relation between fossil fuel prices and the wholesale electricity price would be.

Rolls-Royce has signed a contract to provide backup power to the new Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in Somerset. It is supplying EDF with four diesel generator sets that have an output of 3,600kW each, guaranteeing power in the event of any unplanned outages. The contract follows a previous agreement for heat exchangers agreed in December 2017. Jean-Pierre West, Hinkley Point C Supply Chain Director said: "These generators are an essential part of the multiple safety systems incorporated into the Hinkley Point C design and they will play a critical role in helping the power station provide safe and reliable low carbon electricity for decades to come."

Nuclear waste is piling up around the world even as countries struggle to dispose of spent fuel that will remain highly toxic for many thousands of years, Greenpeace detailed in a report Wednesday. An analysis of waste storage facilities in seven countries with nuclear power revealed that several were near saturation, the anti-nuclear NGO said. All these nations also confronted other problems that have yet to be fully contained: fire risk, venting of radioactive gases, environmental contamination, failure of containers, terrorist attacks and escalating costs. "More than 65 years after the start of the civil use of nuclear power, not a single country can claim that it has the solution to manage the most dangerous radioactive wastes," Shaun Burnie, a nuclear expert at Greenpeace Germany and coordinator of the report said in a statement. In particular, storing waste material from nuclear power reactors deep in the ground — the most researched long-term storage technology — "has shown major flaws which exclude it for now as a credible option," he said.

Under-reported analysis by the UK's Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has shown that filling the gap left by the abandoned nuclear projects is not just feasible but better value. The government's own National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) is minded to agree. Jonathan Marshall, head of analysis at the ECIU said: "In recent years Government has quietly cut back its expectations for nuclear new-build, and that's looking more and more realistic as the price of renewable generation falls and the benefits of the flexible smart grid become more apparent. Filling the nuclear gap with renewables would indeed require an increase in rollout, but one that is well within UK capabilities. "With enough focus on smart low-carbon energy, there's no reason why Britain shouldn't achieve all its energy objectives despite the cancellation of these nuclear stations," added Marshall. The ECIU analysis found that an additional 11.3GW of onshore wind, 5.7GW of offshore wind and 20.8GW of new solar capacity would be sufficient to fill the nuclear gap. Those figures are eminently achievable.

Energy Policy – Scotland
Scottish Government policy supports decarbonisation while also promoting increased extraction of fossil fuels. To achieve a Just Transition, what will it take to move beyond these contradictory positions? Ending our dependency on fossil fuels is an opportunity to build a fairer and more equal Scotland. We know that this transition won't be successful unless it is fair to workers and communities who depend on jobs in high-carbon industries. At present government policy supports decarbonisation while also promoting increased extraction of fossil fuels. As the Just Transition Commission prepares to meet for the first time, we look at what it will take to move beyond these contradictory positions.

As an owner of a car, I uncover myself being knowledgeable on the area of interest of car electrical wiring. Since I Have am just about the last individual who should really be playing with whatever has electric powered current working through it, I used to be reluctant to seek to sort out the matter of car electrical wiring.
On the other hand my vehicle determined if not as it began to randomly opt for electric powered methods which it wanted to me tamper with. When the electric chair straps began to glide lower back and forth without having explanation as I drove downwards the road, I made the choice I more effective figure out how to tamper with the electric methods, taking into consideration the exuberant amount of car fix.
I recently found me personally with a choice to either, breakdown and spend $100 1 hour for a so-called experienced to see it and try and repair service it, or I could find out how the power strategy of my car been working. Thinking about my level of ignorance I possibly would try and conquer the unattainable. Naturally the only factor I knew about power programs is that AC/DC was a rock and roll ring and that newbies and wiring often did not get along.
Even so in spite of my reluctance, I set out to find out some tips i could about automobile wiring. I promptly discovered that there is a large deliver of information and facts on the topic of automobile wiring. A swift search on Google furnished me having an assortment of information and facts. There are numerous concentrations of web sites supplying information and facts.
Some web sites furnished a fundamental overview of the common power strategy of most cars. A company called Long Destination Customs presented some good fundamental information and facts. They stated that the information and facts was basically for a fundamental understanding and not for a precise explanation of selected models. However they essentially deliver some complete information about fundamental programs these kinds of as AC and lighting effects. Additionally, they deliver some good hassle capturing information and facts.

'Petrified' pupils pulled from school over bullying and discipline fears
Pupils pulled from Nova Hreod Academy over bullying and discipline fears
Parents say they have had to remove their children from Nova Hreod Academy over concerns with the school's approach to bullying, discipline and supporting pupils with special needs.
But the academy insists its behaviour policy is in line with those adopted by other schools across the country and that it aims to "raise expectations of behaviour".
Distraught mums have told the Adver how their children have become "shells" of themselves and allege that the approach to discipline is similar to an army camp. One parent told the Adver that her child had written suicidal notes and that he was "petrified" going to school.
They also claim that there is a lack of support available to victims of bullying. Another mum said her child was told that the school couldn't help unless they named the bullies.
The parents of a Year 7 boy who has autism pulled him out of the school after seven-and-a-half weeks. He stopped eating for two weeks and wasn't sleeping because he was so scared to go into school.
On his second day of secondary school, she says he was slapped with a detention. In his short time there, she says he was given detentions for reasons like dropping his pen on the floor three times in a lesson.
His mum says she sometimes spent four hours on the phone trying to get through to the school to understand what was happening. She alleges most of her emails were ignored and that when she pulled him out, she received a phone call three weeks later from an important staff member who didn't know he'd left the school,
She said: "You can't treat children with special needs like that.
"He was petrified and he's quite a confident boy. One day he hid in the toilets.
"They were so strict even though they should be nurturing a Year 7.
"He felt trapped there and nervous and scared. I kept thinking, 'where's my son gone?'
He never had mental health problems before."
Another parent told the Adver that their child was bullied, verbally and physically. She claims the school offered no support beyond asking the Year 9 student to name the perpetrators.
She finally pulled her child out after 14 months when they told her they didn't feel safe returning after the holidays.
She added: "I know parents who have the same story so we can't all by wrong.
"Our children were full of beans and then they became shadows of themselves as they tried to become invisible.
"The attitude is that bullying can be resolved only if you name and shame but that's essentially making the victim a victim again.
"We've moved them now and they're glowing but I'm worried about the kids who don't tell their parents."
The mum of another Year 7 girl, who she says was also getting picked on, alleges she had to wait over a week to hear from the school.
She claims her daughter also received eight "heavy-handed detentions" and two isolations in her term at the school for reasons like being too slow getting dressed after PE and forgetting her ruler.
"You need discipline but this was extreme," she said. "They were so strict.
"She threw a soft toy in the corridor and was sent into isolation for the whole day and given a detention. How does that justify missing a whole day of school?"
What the school says about the claims
A Nova Hreod Academy spokesman told the Adver: "These are important issues and the leadership team at the school do take very seriously anything that parents raise with them including these specific examples.
"Whilst there are important elements of what you have been told that we do not recognise, we likewise have no wish to enter into a public disagreement with parents.
"The policy was put in place because the school's leadership team wanted to raise expectations of behaviour. It has proved successful with student outcomes improving and according to regular parent surveys conducted at the school, is supported by parents.
"Likewise, parents and students are supportive of the school's approach to handling bullying with, once again, this being demonstrated in surveys that the school undertakes.
"The school is fully committed to the welfare of its students and has a strong SEND provision. This has improved significantly over recent years and this may not be fully reflected in what has been put on Facebook.
"Where mistakes are made, the school is always keen to learn from them, investigate them fully and do everything possible to rectify the situation with the family concerned.
When students returned to schools after months of learning from home it has been important to re-establish the routines, behaviours and expectations.
"No good school wishes to have parents or students who are unhappy with how they have been treated and the head and the executive principal are always available to listen to concerns and do everything possible to rectify them.
"The school regrets any incident where it has not been fully able to address a parental or student concern and will always act on and investigate any issues that are raised."

No. 11 Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (30-5) vs No. 7 Nevada Wolf Pack (29-7)
When: Thursday, March 22, 2018, 7:07 PM ET
Where: Philips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
2018 March Madness Sweet 16 Odds: Nevada -1.5 (Over/Under at 143.5)
Make no mistake about it college basketball bettors, 11th-seeded Loyola-Chicago is dangerous with a capital 'D'. First, the Ramblers upset Miami 64-62 in their opener and then they got past Tennessee 63-62 in the second round in what amounted to two of the biggest upsets this tournament. Seventh-seeded Nevada has also been very good in beating Texas 87-83 in overtime in their opener and then getting past a very good Cincinnati squad 75-73 in the second round. For this Sweet 16 matchup, I'm thinking Nevada is about to bring a halt to Loyola-Chicago's fairytale tournament run because of their far superior offense. I know Loyola-Chicago is elite defensively and that they've already beaten two teams they were supposed to lose to, but right now, Nevada just has the look of a team that is locked in and will avoid the upset in this affair while extending their own chances to pull off another upset in the lite Eight. I know the Ramblers are 4-0 ATS in their last four neutral site games and 4-1 ATS in their last five non-conference games, but Nevada has been offering a lot of value as a team that has gone 11-4 ATS over their last 15 games and 18-7-1 ATS over their last 26 games following a straight-up win. Nevada wins and advances. Pick: Nevada -1.5
No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies (22-12) vs No. 3 Michigan Wolverines (30-7)
Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
2018 March Madness Sweet 16 Odds: Michigan -3 (Over/Under at 134.5)
Seventh-seeded Texas A&M got past a tough Providence squad 73-69 in their opener and that's all fine and well, but it was their 86-65 trouncing of North Carolina in the second round that was a real eye-opener. Third-seeded Michigan man-handled overmatched Montana in their opener, but should never have beaten Houston 64-63 in the second round, despite the fact that they somehow managed to survive. Unfortunately, no I just don't see the Wolverines getting past Texas A&M in this Sweet 16 matchup as the Aggies hold the edge in scoring, free throw shooting, rebounding and bench production and have a trio of players that can flat-out score the rock in T.J. Starks, Tyler Davis, and D.J. Hogg. The Aggies 5-1 SU over their last six games, 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win and an identical 5-2 ATS in their last seven neutral site games. Despite going 5-2 ATS in their last seven non-conference games, the Wolverines are just 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games against teams from the SEC. I've got Texas A&M not only covering the chalk as 3-point dogs in this one but doing so by winning outright! Pick: Texas A&M +3
No. 9 Florida State Seminoles (22-11) vs No. 4 Gonzaga Bulldogs (32-4)
When: Thursday, March 22, 2018, 10:07 PM ET
2018 March Madness Sweet 16 Odds: Gonzaga -5.5 (Over/Under at 154)
Ninth-seeded Florida State spanked eighth-seeded Missouri 67-54 in their opener before walloping top-seeded Xavier 75-70 in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicates, in the second round. Fourth-seeded Gonzaga got past 13th-seeded North Carolina-Greensboro 68-64 in their opener but really struggled in doing so. The Bulldogs then got past Ohio State 90-84 in the second round, but again, they didn't look like conquerors in that contest either. Now, for this Sweet 16 showdown, I've got the more athletic – and apparently very hungry – Seminoles pulling off the upset over last season's national championship runner-ups. I know Gonzaga holds the edge in scoring, shooting, free throws, defense, and rebounding, but Florida State has been more impressive since the start of the tournament and this tournament has produced more than its fair share of upsets, so another one just wouldn't be that surprising. Florida State has gone a robust 10-2 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games while Gonzaga is an uninspiring 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 NCAA Tournament games, 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS win and a winless 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams from the ACC. I like Florida State to cover the chalk by winning outright. Pick: Florida State +5.5
