If planted in a garden, pot hibiscus in a container using container soil, insure pot has drainage.
Before bringing indoors, spray both top and underside of leaves with insecticidal soap like Scotts Bug B Gon.
Place in a bright room with a south or west facing window away from any heat vents or radiators.
Reduce watering and only water when dry. Over watering is the #1 killer. Be warned most tropical plants will drop some of their leaves while adjusting to indoor light levels. Do not react by watering.
Add a humidifier to your home, increasing humidity helps plants in winter and will help you breath easier too!!
Bring back outdoors in late Spring after risk of frost has past.
When brought outdoors prune by 1/3 of overall growth, increase watering and apply regular fertilizer.

What Should Come First – Plot Or Characters?
Writing is an art form; there's no set pattern, there's no uniform way something must be done and no specific brush strokes to do, which is why this question causes confusion among writers who are unsure of themselves when it comes to putting a story together. Convention would have us believe that plot must come first, especially as the story idea almost always comes first. But sometimes the writer has a specific character in mind – usually a strong character who wants to be heard, whose personality is that strong and the story is often constructed around the character, rather than constructing characters around a story idea. Plot First Approach This is a little more complex in structure than the character first approach. Authors who have a strong story idea will work on it to expand the themes and the story arc, together with subplots and different scenarios. They ensure that it is mapped from start to finish. They know what will happen, the kind of obstacles the main characte
Which is More Dynamic - Narrative or Dialogue?
It's a question that's often asked. Which is more dynamic – narrative or dialogue? And if there is a difference, should you use one more than the other? Dynamic storytelling means the story has varied pace and can move forward at the right moments – something that's lively and active. There are two elements that do this – narrative and dialogue. But what about description? Unfortunately it doesn't move the story along – its role is to describe scenes to the reader. Narrative and dialogue, however, do move the story forward. We think of narrative as simple explanation, with no real importance. It's snippets of information to prop up the story, which may explain why it isn't often thought of as dynamic. The smaller those informative bites are, the better. Readers pay more attention to small amounts of information rather large chunks of it. These smaller packages of narrative help move the story along to a degree, but not nearly enough as dialogue would. Dialogue, on the other h
Sequence of Writing - In Order or Not?
This is a common question that most writers ask. Does it really matter what order you write your novel? What works and what doesn't work? The answer is simple – there is no right or wrong. There's no rule that says we have to write a story in order. Both approaches work. It depends on the kind of writer you are. It's down to the writer how they want to write their novel, but it's also down to the writer to bring it all together to make it work effectively so the reader will enjoy the story. There are advantages and disadvantages to each one. It's up to the writer to work with the method that works for them. Linear Writing Writing the story in sequence is known as linear writing. In other words, it's written chronologically, in order as the reader reads it, chapter by chapter, from first chapter to last. This tends to be how plotters and planners like to write. They plan each chapter, they do chapter outlines and story arcs and they follow the story as they write. This keeps
When Do You Know It's The Right Time To Edit?
What seems a straightforward question doesn't always mean there's a straightforward answer. Even when a writer has completed a story, it's not always clear when he or she should edit. That's because a lot of writers will simply go back and tinker with various chapters, which means the writing process carries on without any definitive break or proper editing. This is common with new writers. They write, then go back a few chapters and change things, then carry on writing, and then they go back and change things again and so on, in a perpetual cycle, so nothing constructive gets done. Other writers reach the end, but then immediately start thinking about the unresolved issue in chapter 14. Or there's a subplot that they forgot to address. Or they should have added something in that all important action scene between the hero and the villain. Immediately they go back to add and change things. And because they change things in the proceeding chapters, they then find they have to
Repetition – When to Use It and When to Avoid It
This is a subject that provides contradictory advice for writers, with the general consensus that writers should avoid repetition, but it doesn't always say what kind of repetition to avoid, since it can actually be used effectively in narrative and can make a difference to the tone of the writing. Generally speaking, the kind of repetition writers should avoid is the non-rhetorical kind, one that often makes the sentence structures awkward and shows that the writer isn't focused on the words they're using. The repetition could be certain words, phrases or even ideas. This is the kind of negative repetition that writers use without actually realising. Positive repetition, on the other hand, is a rhetorical tool used for effective narrative delivery, emphasis, emotional or dramatic effect, narrative depth or for amplification. Negative Repetition Every writer does it. That's how common it is. While in the throes of writing, we don't often realise we've repeated certain word

I'll Cry Tomorrow
Starring Susan Hayward It's on TCM right now. I'm enjoying it!
This acclaimed biopic tells the cautionary tale of Broadway star Lillian Roth (Susan Hayward), who by the age of 20 has risen to fame due to the efforts of her pushy mother. Though a success on stage, Lillian has her hopes of happiness dashed when her fiancé dies tragically, and responds to her loss by drinking. Alcoholism and a string of failed marriages destroy Lillian's career and ultimately leave her destitute. After a brush with death, however, Lillian resolves to return to the spotlight.

This will end in tears.
Jo Van Fleet is devastating as her mother. I only found out recently that she had a drinking problem herself.
Alcoholism is a terrible disease. The only way to cure it is to take a shower with you - naked.
Lillian Roth was reportedly PISSED that La Hayward chose to do her own singing for the film. That's understandable but Susan surprisingly sounded good in "I'll Cry Tomorrow". I wish that she had done her own singing for "Valley Of The Dolls" as well.
Ms. Roth had a short career in movies at the beginning of the "Talkie" Era. Here's my favorite by her, 'Low Down' from 1930's "Madame Sin".

sorry, Die Mommie Die (as opposed to Die Doris Day)
The odd thing about the movie is the contemporary clothing and hairstyles. Susie is 18 when we first see her and early 40s (?) when the movie ends and she looks exactly the same.
Stretch your mind, R22.
I just love when Susie sings "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob Bobbin' Along!" Was that really one of Lillian's hits?
Roth was such a pretty thing...I was surprised to find this out.
Susie said she would have preferred to have won her Oscar for this.
I just love when Susie sings "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob Bobbin' Along!"
I HATE when she sings that! They made us sing it in grade school circa 1963!
Lillian Roth was prettier than Susan Hayworth (at least when she was young.)
That's good, R28. Susan HAYWARD played her in the movie, dimwit.
[quote] Lillian Roth got some prison singing in a little pre-code called Ladies They Talk About (1933) with Susan Hayward's idol, Miss Barbara Stanwyck.
R10, in Robert LaGuardia & Gene Arceri's Hayward biography "Red: The Tempestuous Life of Susan Hayward", they share a cool story about Stanwyck & Hayward. Both Brooklyn born & raised but 10 years or so apart. The two were never friends socially but admired each other from a distance.
In the late 60s or early 70s Stanwyck became ill and had to have a kidney removed. When Hayward heard about it she sent Babs a beautiful floral arrangement, with a card that read "From one Brooklyn Broad to another. Get well soon! Susan Hayward." A recovering Stanwyck had a hearty laugh at this and was deeply touched.
Five or six years later when Hayward passed on in 1975, Stanwyck sent two huge funeral floral wreaths. The card simply read "From one Brooklyn Broad to another. Barbara Stanwyck."
R23 can I just say fuck it and stretch my asshole instead??
Another juicy snippet from "Red: The Tempestuous Life of Susan Hayward". The authors shared that they reached out to Robert Preston (of "The Music Man" fame) to share some of his memories of Hayward. La Hayward & Preston had been a minor team of sorts in several films in the 1930s & 40s.
Preston's response was an ice cold "Anything I've got to say about Susan Hayward is unprintable!"

I wonder if Susie let Stanwyck lick her Brooklyn pussy.

R35, Robert Preston was a womanizer. Ask Peggy Lee.
As in all of her musical pictures......Susan Hayward's dancing was ridiculous.....she had NO rhythm at all.....
And of course she showed her nipple in WITH A SONG IN MY HEART.
R36, I forgot about the romance with Peggy Lee! I don't know? Maybe it's the bad wig he sported later in life that made him resemble Rip Taylor or the gay character he played in "Victor/Victoria" that has me confused. I'm not sure.
R37, Susan had a bad hip and one of her legs was shorter than the other one. The result of being hit by a car when she was a child. That may explain the lackluster dancing.
Well, in that clip from WITH A SONG IN MY HEART she was portraying the great Jane Froman whose legs were basically paralyzed so.....it seems like an honest performance.
[quote]R39 Susan had a bad hip and one of her legs was shorter than the other one. The result of being hit by a car when she was a child.
She must have been really hated if people were already trying to run her over as a child!
I love the strange gestures Hayward makes when she sings in "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and "With a Song in My Heart." I've never seen anyone else make those gestures, except Charles Busch in "Die, Mommie, Die" (where he was purposefully imitating Hayward singing).
It actually gave her a sexy stroll.
Her dancing to the bongo drums at the party in I Want To Live! is especially egregious.....and it's not because she has a short leg......
And the woman who played the matron in Live! who gives Susan a sleep mask, is the same actress who played the ladies room attendant in Valley of the Dolls when Helen gets her wig flushed.......
I was just reminded of one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life and thought I would share. Again, courtesy of "Red: The Tempestuous Life of Susan Hayward."
At one point in the Early 70s, Susan was doing some traveling across The States for something or another. While in some major city (NYC or DC, I can't remember) she stayed (as always) at what was then considered a 5 Star luxury hotel. The stay at said hotel started out fine, but things quickly went south when late one evening Miss Hayward became famished and ordered a turkey sandwich from room service.
When the sandwich arrived and Susan saw that it was made from packaged cold cuts instead of from a fresh roasted turkey, she went absolutely APE SHIT. After phoning and subjecting both the Head Chef & Hotel Manager to a foul-mouthed tirade about their "sleazy dive motel", Miss Hayward threw the dining cart down the hallway. She then packed up all of her belongings and stormed out of the hotel screaming expletives at any staff member she encountered on the way out the door.
^^Sounds like one of her crazy characters she portrays in movies...
Hopefully they didn't offer her a ballpoint pen when she signed in.
Susie had very little range. She had her bag of tricks and they were effective but tiresome. Jo Van Fleet blows her off the screen.
Also fun to note that Roth married Bert (Eddie Albert) and they divorced years later after he left her for another man.
The kinescope of Roth's episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE is on YouTube. It's quite something. Ralph Edwards claims it was so inspiring and popular that it was being re-broadcast just a few weeks after being first presented.
R49, I had no idea that Eddie Albert was gay. Wow! How confirmed is this?
R51. Confirmed
R51, gay according to THE DL.
Not Eddie Albert! The man Eddie portrayed in I'LL CRY TOMORROW was gay, Lillian's husband.
I've written a soon to be country hit song for my good friend Maren Morris. "Yesterday I Cried"
It's pretty fine if I do say so.
Thank you for setting the record (no pun) "straight", R54.
I thought that Eddie Albert was a staunch Rightwinger. Not that they can't be Gay as well, but it's unlikely that he would have left much evidence behind.
Eddie Albert was married to Margo. They were both blacklisted. His career survived. Hers...not so much.
[quote]I thought that Eddie Albert was a staunch Rightwinger. Not that they can't be Gay as well, but it's unlikely that he would have left much evidence behind.
Eddie Albert was a big environmental activist. Hardly a rightwinger.
Eddie Albert got in trouble in the 40's when Jack L. Warner caught him fucking his wife Ann. Jack had him blacklisted and he didn't work for awhile.
No word on how Margo felt about the whole thing.
Margo is also in ICT and, well, it's clear why her career didn't take off.
Bosley Crowther was right; Susan should have played the drunk, bitchy wife in Back Street instead of the loving, patient mistress.
Eddie Albert was NOT a staunch Rightwinger. OLIVER DOUGLAS was.
Eddie's Wiki...
So I just watched some of that kinescope of THIS IS YOUR LIFE at r50. Fascinating!
First of all, it begins with the host Ralph Edwards apologizing for not being able to present a new program that week because their subject Ann Sheridan discovered what was up and therefore couldn't be surprised. Isn't that odd that the show depended on that kind of spontaneity? Or do we think Miss Sheridan discovered what was up and didn't want anything to do with it?
Anyway, Edwards then presents what appears to be a rerun of their most memorable and "controversial" episode and Lillian Roth comes across so beautifully in this. So modest and loveable and empathetic. Apparently, in this one instance, the subject, Lillian, knew she was being featured and a surprise ambush was not part of the plan. Lil does a little mini-concert of her big hits from the 1920s and 30s with a full band at about the 10 minute mark. Great fun!
And just before that she's surprised by none other than old friend Ruby Keeler who attended a talented children's school with her. Ruby looks about 20 years older than she did in 1970 when she made her big Broadway comeback in No No Nanette. The harsh lighting and film quality (not to mention 1950s makeup and hair styles) aren't kind to her, or Lillian Roth, for that matter.
Highly recommend you all take a look at this.
Did Frances Farmer know ahead of time as well? I can't remember. My high school friend went to see the tour of Miss Reardon with Lillian and Gretch. He went backstage to get autographs. He said when she was signing he mentioned that her photo on the window card wasn't recent. She said no, it wasn't. I thought that terribly rude of him.
Please tell me that Lillian Roth remained sober and dependable throughout the rest of her life and career. What a lovely dame she was!
Lillian died youngish - 69
Who was the celebrity guest who walked off when Ralph cheerfully said THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
I don't believe she did, r66. I guess she was dependable enough for Wholesale and the Reardon tour, though. And of course...
Sid Caesar did a parody of This is Your Life which I saw in a documentary about him in a small independent theatre. The parody was so funny I actually fell out of my seat laughing.
Lillian Roth is so charming on the show. But what a crazy concept ambushing people with a live TV show about their life.
FOLLIES!
Eddie Albert was NOT a fag, and I'm the dame who can prove it!

The only other time Ralphie told a guest in advance of their story was with Frances Farmer in 1958. He thought she might go crazy and attack him.
The show might have been more entertaining if she had. It, too, is on You Tube.
Jessica Lange really had that strange little head turn and neck twitch of Frances Farmer down. Like she is hearing her own voice and rejecting it. A perfect example of some lovely objectification - where a small movement conveys a world of time, a lasting change inside.
At this evening's performance, the role of Mame will be played by Helen Lawson and Gooch will be played by Miss Hot Lips Houlihan...
R78 Yes!
R79, I'd have KILLED to see that! I wonder if she was good, so-so or flat-out terrible as Mame.
She needed to have a vocal coach, r81. Because she wasn't singing properly, she lost her voice and had to leave the production early. Who replaced her, Celeste?
I looked it up, it was Celeste.
Lillian Roth also mentioned in the Bill Boggs interview the national tour of FUNNY GIRL she did as Mrs. Brice. So I guess he worked fairly regularly in the years between sobering up in the early 50s to her death in 1982.
WEHT Bill Boggs? He was so cute and not a bad interviewer.
R82, yes (as you already know) Celeste Holm replaced Susan in "Mame". According to "Red: The Tempestuous Life of Susan Hayward" [can you tell yet that I loved that fucking book?], La Hayward left Miss Holm (another notoriously mean & nasty bitch) a note in her dressing room when she departed. The note said something to the effect of "and you better be good to My Kids (the young dancers & supporting cast members) or else I'll be back to kick your ass!"
The authors' found this both humorous and perplexing, because Susan herself had been dismissive & bitchy to the supporting cast & dancers throughout her run with the show! LOL

Stay tuned for a while - she talks about DL anti-fave Barbra Streisand, and semi-DL subject Elliott Gould. You see, Lillian played the LEAD in the Broadway musical I Can Get it for you Wholesale in 1962!

I say that title sarcastically when someone wants a pity party.
You've got it the other way around, R93. Susan filmed "With A Song In My Heart" in 1952 or 1953 and was dubbed by Jane Froman herself.
A few years later in 1955 she filmed "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and insisted on doing her own singing. Lilian Roth was PISSED that her own bipic wouldn't contain her own singing, but to everyone in Hollywood's surprise Susie did an EXCELLENT job! Her unexpected vocal talent was even more shocking when you consider the fact that by 1955 she had been in Hollywood for almost 2 decades and had always been dubbed for roles that required her to sing.
After Susan's success in "I'll Cry Tomorrow", I have no idea why a decade later she didn't take a crack at singing again in "Valley Of The Dolls". Instead, she allowed herself to be dubbed by Margaret Whiting.

Her book was really pretty great and she wrote a follow up book as well. Her book was pretty racy. As I recall, there was a portion (I think when she lived in LA) where she would drink around the clock and lay in bed in a stupor with the front door unlocked and men would come in and "have their way with her." …… I don't remember the details but the portion of the book where she met Bill was quite charming. I was bummed to read that years later he left her. Didn't she have a relationship with another woman in her later years?
This thread led me to Frances Farmer's Wikipedia entry, where I was surprised to discover that her supposed lobotomy was fiction. I guess I missed the backlash to FRANCES.
I love With a Song in My Heart so much more. And I've always found Hayward's dubbing by Jane Froman very believable. I can't watch that final scene in which she performs the US states medley for all the wounded soldiers without crying. And the young Robert Wagner.....oh my....a star was born indeed!

Peninei Halakha > Laws of the Days of Awe > 06 – Yom Kippur > 12. Matchmaking
Chapter: 06 – Yom Kippur
12. Matchmaking
The Mishna describes a remarkable Yom Kippur custom during Temple times:
There were no happier days for the Jews than the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur. On those days, the young women of Jerusalem would go out in borrowed white clothes in order to avoid embarrassing those who did not own any…. They would dance in the vineyards, saying: "Young man! Please look and choose someone. Do not look at beauty, look at the family. 'Grace is deceptive, beauty is illusory; it is for her fear of the Lord that a woman is to be praised. Extol her for the fruit of her hand, and let her works praise her in the gates' (Mishlei 31:30-31)." (Ta'anit 26b)
At first glance, this seems strange. How can it be that on this awe-inspiring, holy fast day, people were matchmaking? On further reflection, it is not so strange. The marital bond is sacred. Our Sages say that the Shekhina dwells with a husband and wife who are faithful to each other (Sota 17a). Through their loyalty and love, they express God's unity. This is why God allows His name to be erased in order to reconcile husband and wife (Nedarim 66b). Similarly, Arizal states that the mitzva to "love your fellow as yourself" (Vayikra 19:18), which R. Akiva calls "a great principle of the Torah" (Sifra ad loc.), reaches its ultimate fulfillment within marriage.
Furthermore, the union of a married couple corresponds to the supernal union of God and the Jewish people, as we read, "As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you" (Yeshayahu 62:5). R. Akiva said, "No other day was as precious as the day the Jews were given Shir Ha-shirim. For all of the Writings are holy, but Shir Ha-shirim is the holy of holies" (Tanḥuma Tetzaveh §5). Similarly, the keruvim (cherubim) on the top of the ark in the Kodesh Ha-kodashim were in the form of a male and female being intimate. This was to teach that holiness does not constrict life but intensifies it. When the Jews stopped doing what God wanted, the keruvim turned their backs on each other and faced outward (Bava Batra 99a).
These ideas lie at the root of the custom of young Jewish men and women seeking their match on Yom Kippur. They drew upon the unity of God and the Jewish people to find their own union and love, to create holy Jewish homes. Accordingly, married couples must repent on Yom Kippur for any failure to love and pleasure each other properly. True, on the physical level, a couple must separate on Yom Kippur, as they do when the wife is a nidda (9:7 below). Nevertheless, on the spiritual level, their connection is stronger than usual, due to the holiness of the day. This concept is reflected in the laws pertaining to the Kohen Gadol serving in the Temple on Yom Kippur. On the one hand, he was required to separate from his wife for a week before Yom Kippur. On the other hand, an unmarried kohen was not allowed to serve on Yom Kippur at all (10:4 below).
The young women would wait to dance in the vineyards until after the scapegoat was cast away. Since the sins of Israel were forgiven then, it was an especially joyous time. This custom was appropriate at a time when the Shekhina dwelled with the people, and the Temple linked heaven and earth. But since the destruction of the Temple, heaven and earth are not as close together. If people today engaged in matchmaking on Yom Kippur, they would miss out on the primary expression of the day's holiness.[6]
Nevertheless, it is still proper on Yom Kippur for all singles to pray for a good match, as the very holiness of the day can help in their quest. Often, negative character traits such as arrogance and lust prevent people from finding their true match. On Yom Kippur, when the pure soul is revealed, a person can see his life goals more clearly. He can better determine what type of person would suit him best, and with whom he would be able to build a home of Torah and mitzvot, so that together they will add life and joy to the world.
[6]. As we cited above, the Mishna states, "There were no happier days for the Jews than the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur. On those days, the young women of Jerusalem would go out…" (Ta'anit 26b). This clearly indicates that the custom was practiced on both Yom Kippur and the fifteenth of Av. We find statements to this effect in y. Ketuvot 2:1, Ritva (Bava Batra 121a), and Maharshal (Yam Shel Shlomo, Gittin 1:18) as well. Indeed, this is the understanding of many commentators and poskim. However, many other works cite R. Hai Gaon and R. Sherira Gaon as maintaining that while the young women danced in the vineyards on the fifteenth of Av, they did not do so on Yom Kippur. Tiferet Yisrael on Ta'anit 4:8 is one such commentary.
Perhaps we can reconcile the positions by saying that while the young women did not dance in the vineyards on Yom Kippur, people did engage in matchmaking then. Alternatively, Birkei Yosef suggests that the women danced in the fields at night right after Yom Kippur. R. Shlomo Goren presents a different approach: In the days of the First Temple, the presence of the Shekhina was palpable, and the red thread tied to the horns of the scapegoat, which indicated whether klal Yisrael achieved atonement, would always turn white (Yoma 39a). The Sages had not yet formulated the prayers, so the Kohen Gadol's avoda and vidui atoned for everyone. Thus, the mood on Yom Kippur was one of joy, and the young women would dance in the vineyards then. In contrast, in the time of the Second Temple, the Shekhina was not perceptible, the red thread did not always turn white, and the Sages had formulated the prayer service. Thus, the mood on Yom Kippur was one of awe, emphasizing judgment, and matchmaking was not undertaken then (Mo'adei Yisrael, pp. 65-66). R. Ḥayim David Halevy says something similar, but the distinction he draws is between Temple times and post-Temple times.
The same mishna states that the phrase "His wedding day" (Shir Ha-shirim 3:11) refers to the giving of the Torah. Rashi explains that "this refers to Yom Kippur, when the second Tablets were given." R. Tzadok Ha-Kohen of Lublin elaborates: "On Shavu'ot, the [first] Tablets were given through divine initiative, and they were shattered; on Yom Kippur, the second Tablets were given through human initiative, and those tablets endured" (Pri Tzadik, Tu Be-Av §2). The central feature of this "wedding day" of Yom Kippur is that the second Tablets left space for the Sages of the Oral Torah to come up with novel interpretations and enact regulations.

Nanoscience Advances in Biology
By Dr. Catherine Shaffer, Ph.D.Reviewed by Afsaneh Khetrapal, BSc
Nanoscience is the study of matter at molecular scales. That has been defined as manipulation of matter between the nanometer (nm) and micrometer (um) scale.

For the purposes of biology, nanoscience is an approach that makes use of materials, devices, and systems that are applicable on a nanometer scale. Most of the mechanisms of life fall at least partially into that size range. Some examples of natural biological entities that measure in the nanometer range are:
the DNA double helix has a 2 nm diameter
cell membranes are about 10 nm thick
eukaryotic cells have a diameter of about 10 um
Similarly, artificial nanostructures can be constructed at those same dimensions. Some examples of these are nanopores with openings of about 2 nm, nanowires of 10 nm diameter, and nanoparticles of 10 to 100 nanometers in diameter. The chemistry and physics of nanomaterials can unique and surprising, and have led to some important innovations in biological science.

Nanoscale pores can be used to separate molecules by size and biochemical properties. Ion channels are one example of a natural structure than discriminate molecules based on size. An ion channel has a selectivity in the angstrom range, or around one tenth of a nanometer.
Researchers have theorized that the same mechanism can be used to uncoil and separate DNA for sequencing of its nucleotides. In one experiment, a modified natural protein pore, α-hemolysin, was inserted into a somewhat larger synthetic nanopore. The hybrid pore showed an increased selectivity and sensitivity compared to the natural pore, but was more mechanically stable.
Another measurement device that has been created based on nanotechnology is a carbon nanotube sensor for reactive oxygen species (ROS). It had single-molecule resolution based on optical fluorescence quenching. The sensor was able to identify transient "hot spots" of high ROS concentration near the cell membrane.
Microfluidics is a nanoscale technology for manipulating liquids in droplets of around 1 picoliter, or about 10 um in diameter. The advantage is that effective concentration of reagents is increased at those volumes, while diffusion distance is decreased. This enables greater efficiency for high throughput assays.
Nanoscale materials are useful in clinical diagnostics because their greater surface area can be used to capture biomarkers. Researchers have developed a device for analysis of blood using microfluidic chips with a patterned matrix that uses DNA linkers to bind antibodies. The antibodies detect biomarkers that correlate with cytokine, growth factor, and antigen expression.
Nano-Needles Aid Drug Delivery
Nanotechnology has been used to develop needles that can deliver substances through cell walls without destroying the cell or through human skin less invasively than a hypodermic needle.
A patterned array of silicon nanowires of about 50 nm in diameter and 1 um in height were used to deliver molecular agents into cells to promote the growth of neurons, siRNA knockdown, and inhibition of apoptosis in experiments. They also targeted proteins to organelles.
Another type of nano-needle array was used to deliver drugs to a controlled depth in the skin. The microneedles degrade quickly, leaving no trace.

You met him once in the vastness of heaven and space. His arms reaching for you, no longer stiff, no longer cold. The cosmos faded as he watched you draw near. His eyes smiled, no longer grey, no longer lifeless.
He waited for you in the stars and held you close as you journeyed through the constellations.
He whispered his love for you and kissed you gently before you entered the life from which he had just departed. He shared his ocean blue eyes and startling smile with you – those eyes and that smile that he inconceivably left by the Ty River. You touched his soul, swallowed his essence, embraced his light, and then you EXPLODED into our world.
You met our grief with healing and beauty and powerful, overwhelming life. Your first breath was a cooling and beautiful fog over our scalding trauma – a cleansing of our hearts that had festered with loss and bled with each shattering tear. Your ocean blue eyes opened and we saw him gazing back, searing hope into our souls, connecting life and loss in a circle of complete unity. Both of you permanently branded into our lives forever. Your smile illuminated the room as if he were there, holding us together in his starlight. Your vivacious cry was his voice assuring us that we can hurt and still heal. We can shudder with grief and still laugh. We can die and still live in the hearts of those who loved us and those we meet in heaven's stars.
I found myself crying the whole time I wrote this. My intention was to make this post concise, but as I began to reminisce, it didn't feel right to leave anything out…especially since so many of these memories are the most powerful and life-changing ones I have. I have done my fair share of venting about the chaos at work these last couple of months, including how bummed I was to have to travel on Super Bowl Sunday instead of being with my family and I have grown weary of listening to myself blather about not feeling well the last few weeks. With that being said, I've spent the last few days reflecting on where I was this time last year, and I'm shocked and disappointed at how easily I lost my perspective when life got busy! Today, I am choosing to reset how I respond to the stressors in my life, and to jumpstart that reset, all I have to do is take a few minutes to recall what life looked like for me this time last year. One year ago, I was completely debilitated and had been for over 4 months. I wasn't just weak or weary…I was profoundly incapacitated. I was on approximately 10 different medications whose side effects made me so ill I lost 40lb in less than 2 months. I had seen multiple chiropractors, acupuncturists, reflexologists, massage therapists, dentists, endodontists, 6 different neurologists, visited the ER 3 times and was finally hospitalized for infusion therapy for 3 days with zero progress. I was unable to work, unable to drive, unable to run a simple errand or clean my house. I was unable to do most of the things we take for granted every day. The loss I experienced from no longer being able to participate in everyday tasks didn't hold a candle to the grief I felt when I couldn't care for my one and only newborn baby boy, Isaac. I had wanted to be a mother since I was able to push my dolls in a toy stroller and when I finally had the blessed opportunity, I couldn't provide the basic things a mother gives her child. I couldn't feed my son, I couldn't bathe him or play with him or even laugh with him. I couldn't comfort my son when he cried. My heart breaks as I recall a time I was holding Isaac and accidentally scratched his forehead with my fingernail. He cried so hard and so loud that my dad came running in from another room to hold him, soothe him, and quiet him because the pain I was living with had seized my ability to be my son's comforter.
What a difference one year makes!


When two companies are competitive, there's something to be said about making your side of the battle highly visible to the public. And how do you do that? Hire a celebrity, or if you're car service app Hailo, get the former New York mayoral and gubernatorial candidate otherwise known as the "The Rent Is Too Damn High" guy to take shots at Uber's rates.
Hailo has enlisted Jimmy McMillan to ride around Washington, D.C. on a float with the slogan "The Rates Are Too Damn High," reports the Washington City Paper. GET IT?
As part of the campaign, Hailo says it will cut its prices in half in the D.C. area between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. — but customers will still be charged the $1.50 fee Hailo levies to use the app. A Hailo spokeswoman tells Consumerist the drivers' bottom line won't be affected.
But back to TRITDH guy.


Remove the free 30-minute parking from Upminster, Hornchurch and Elm Park.
Increase charges from £1.50 for two hours to £2 for one hour.
Introduce a flat £1.50 charge to park on Sundays.
Introduce a Residents Only Parking scheme in a 1km zone around town centres.
Charge those on Council Tax Support 25% of Council Tax rather than the current 15%, with disabled claimants increased to 20%. This giant hike will affect some 9,000 residents who are least able to pay and, with Universal Credit, will cause great hardship.
Our High Streets already face enormous challenges with business rates, rents and on-line competition. These incredibly damaging proposals will be enough to deter any would be shopper and demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding or empathy in local economies.
The Cabinet report containing the full budget proposals can be seen HERE.
Whilst there will be further consultation on some of the parking proposals, we shall work hard over the coming months to unpick this poorly constructed budget and present an alternative which will focus on sustainability, fairness and common sense.
To remove the free 30 minute parking from Upminster and Cranham carparks is so shortsighted and detrimental to our local shops.
This policy will further deter local residents from just popping down to use our local shops.
The result is to further penalise residents for shopping locally.
To encourage the use of the superstores which have free parking.
To encourage more on line shopping.
If the Council want to destroy our local shops and further reduce the revenue that they receive from Business Rates, then they are going the right way to achieve it.
Totally agree with the comment. I always shop local but I won't if just chains. Might aswell go to Lakeside.
Local shops are struggling enough. The proposed parking charges will be the final nail in their coffins.
If the free 30 minute charge is removed I will stop using my local high street and just go to the main supermarket or shopping center. I reduced my time spent on the local high streets when the original parking fees changed in the last few years.
I totally agree with Richard.Do Councillors proposing these decisions really want to destroy our local shopping centres and reduce the revenue from business rates.
*This is restricttive to the non able body people that are unable to access their local community services/ sites e.g .Accessing schools,post office, library's, medical services like chemists, doctors, dentists, banks, opticians and so on. Via public transport because these people cannot commute in any other way e.g by walking, riding a bike etc into town to accesss services in upminster and Cranham!
Or people that just cannot afford to pay the costs of parking charges!
I completely agree with Hayley .Raising parking charges and doing away with the free parking period is typical of Conservative Councillors.
Thankyou Clarence for bringing this to our attention..
I know we can rely on our local Residents Councillors who actually live in the area to fight these pathetic proposals .
Our local shopping centres need support.


You're lying on your back on the hard floor of an empty house. The ancient furnace in the basement rumbles to life. It's an unfamiliar noise, and the sound reverberating off the walls is disconcerting. Kind of like the basement is about to explode. Before you know it, it'll be comforting, Ben told you. Right.
Yesterday, you signed papers to make the house yours. Yours, second person plural. Well, yours in trust of the bank. Yours, asterisked with a very large debt that is meant to be paid off over a span of time longer than the years you have actually lived on the green earth.
When you first walked through the house, you liked it enough to walk through it again. The second time, you sneaked off to a corner of the seven acres and peed on it, like a dog, marking it. But the other morning, the papers signed, the wire transfer received, the realtor asked, "Aren't you excited?" and you laughed, nervously.
Because you don't really know what you are. 2015 has been a blur of work and travel and things like obtaining a mortgage in post-recession America, which are, by their very nature, nerve-wracking and second-guess inspiring and bang-your-head-against-a-wall-worthy. Not to mention the large party you're supposed to be planning to celebrate your impending marriage to someone with whom you just purchased a house.
Yourself of ten years ago would not have believed that you'd be where you are right now, both figuratively and literally. She'd be pleased to know that all the nights she spent dreaming about going to faraway places were not silly; would be amazed to know that this year has had you on planes to Kabul and Accra and Bangkok in the span of two months. She would have laughed and probably stormed out of the room if you told her that, in the span of another two months, you will be marrying a particular person who used to ride the bus to middle school with her. She simply wouldn't comprehend the fact that you really, really wish you could stay put for more than two weeks, and that your idea of a nice night right now would be staying in and drinking a Sierra Nevada while you paint the walls of your new house. White.
You sigh and pick up your phone from next to you and scroll through social media, because that's what 21st century people do when they're alone and deflated. Tara has posted a link to a cauliflower cake.
The cauliflower cake looks really, really good, and is from a cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi, the Jerusalem-born British chef whose beautiful cooking has caused totally normal people everywhere to start buying strange things like nigella seeds online. You'd bet this recipe has them, too.
So you go to Amazon to order the nigella seeds. Amazon is confused because all you've been ordering lately are millions of tiny globe lights to string around the perimeter of a huge tent, or a thousand small clear votive candle holders. Don't you want to order two hundred more cloth napkins? it asks you. Do you want to add nigella seeds to your registry? You are being bride-algorithmed. You wonder what you could order to break it. Snow tires?
Days later, the nigella seeds arrive. What the hell are nigella seeds, anyway? You don't know. You buy two heads of cauliflower. You leave for Bangkok before you have time to unpack the kitchen, and the cauliflower cake doesn't get made.
A week later, in Thailand, you run into an Afghan colleague. You went to Afghanistan for the first time in January, and while you didn't get to go out much, you did get to eat. And your very favorite thing to eat was beautiful, freshly baked naan bread, pricked in a pattern with the tines of a fork. You remind him about the bread, and how you had it every morning with sweet tea, sprinkled in the middle with sesame and little aromatic black seeds. He tells you the word for the seeds in Dari. You Wikipedia it.
Oh. It turns out you know a lot about nigella seeds.
In your hotel room, you look up the cauliflower cake recipe again. You remember that Ben proposed to you in an Ottolenghi restaurant, a fancy night out, in London last year. You weren't really sure you wanted to get engaged, but he pulled an airmail envelope out of his pocket, ripped it open, and dumped a little ring that was your mom's out onto the table in front of you.
All these tenuous threads, connecting things that don't even make sense: they comfort you. The ring and your mom and the chef and the sun rising over the only view you saw from your window in Kabul and the uncooked recipe and the pound of nigella seeds waiting on the counter of the house with the loud furnace that isn't quite yet home.
They're not much, but they're something to hold onto. You weave them around your fingers as you stand an ocean away, as you round the next corner, as you make the next leap.
Sarah, your words give me so much hope, and so much to hold onto. Thank you.
Ah, you're too nice to a person being very self-indulgent. P.S. I like #loungingindianmen.
Hmm, this is a beautiful piece of writing and makes my wondering, sometimes travel-tired heart feel cozy. Congrats on the house, too!
So beautifully written, Sarah. So authentic. This past year has been a whirlwind for us- buying a house, changing careers, reflecting on our relationship, wondering about the future. I can really feel your words. You have so many wonderful and exciting things ahead in your life, and it's completely and totally okay to lie on the floor and let those moments and thoughts about those moments waft over you.
Ah, how lovely. You make me dream.
Beautifully written. Congrats on the house! I just got married myself and am now starting the process of looking for a house. It's a lot! Looking forward to the cauliflower cake.
I mean, it looks good. But (worst 'food blogger' ever) I haven't made it and can't vouch for it ;) thanks!
So beautiful. It's funny when you take a break from the breakneck speed of life to take stock and realize just what, precisely, your particular life is being made of. Congratulations on the house (I am similarly terrified/agog at our new mortgage) and on the impending wedding!
Thanks Luisa! Can't wait to see more of the kitchen.
What a great story, and I can see the house, the furnace, the restaurant. Flying around the world when all you want to do is be home cooking, baking, eating and drinking. Lovely story, really hit home.
Another beauty of a post, I usually lurk here but I found this worthy of a head nod in agreement. I've recently bought a house with my girlfriend (well over a year ago but it feels that it is recent) we moved in and since then we have been doing it up, changing things and growing things in the garden for the kitchen. I planted garlic today and yesterday I planted my potatoes that I had chitted in the front window as it is south facing, all of this is overwhelming to me.
My influences of life are here in front of me in this home, the fact that I had a woodburner installed in the living room which was so expensive for our budget but I had it installed as it reminded me of my parents, my home as a child and the life I want to live now. I worked so many shifts extra to afford it, the truth is it's not been on as much as I thought it would but it is there, looking at me like a material memory.
We are now thinking about upgrading our attic, to make a loft for a bedroom or maybe a living space – my brothers who work in construction will do it cheap, we will get the loan to do it and then pay it back over the time scale as we both earn extra money now from our busy jobs. Then we go away to Boston and NYC from our little city in England for 12 days, so much is happening at the moment, so much I have to be glad about but so much is happening and it freaks me out a little. Congratulations though, I found the signing my life away with a house fairly easy – the doing things in it has been the most joyful but also the toughest I feel like a fraud when I think about the attic, I think about the job I do in homelessness and the fact another room isn't really needed but it kinda is if we have children……memories, what weird things they do to us.
Lovely post. Congratulations! i am living with my daughter, her husband and baby in a drafty, cold-downstairs, too warm-upstairs, partially renovated 1800's house in rural, southern Fauquire. Their furnace is an old electric heat pump that only works until the temperature gets down to about 31. Then, a propane, water heated back up kicks in. Still, the downstairs was 43 degrees a couple of weeks ago when the night time temps dipped below zero. We wore a lot of clothes inside and out this year! I'm waiting for the rain and snow to stop long enough for the ground to dry out enough for excavation to start on my husband's and my house on the adjoining 15 acres. our journeys are different, but enough the same that I will so look forward to your future posts.
Not small threads of things. Big things. My counsellor told me a few years back when I was lamenting whatever was bothering me that particular day that I needed to notice a few things: I had a partner, I had a sense of what I wanted to do and was doing it, and I was working on fixing the things that weren't working in my life. This is winning. These are the big, big things. So very happy for you and so lovely to read your words. Congrats on the house! We have an apartment right now, which requires basically nothing (cat fur tumbleweeds are evidence of how much cleaning we're doing… let alone fixing all the lights that don't work, or the floors, or the dents in the walls…) But we are moving states this summer and therefore must sell it to buy a HOUSE. So much more responsibility in a HOUSE, but, still more possibility. Oh I hope it's joyous for you, rumbling furnace and white wall painting and all. This is perhaps the third house of the yellow house? And good things come in threes, I hear.
So vivid, real, beautiful and full of hope!
This is my favorite kind of story. It reminds me of my own when I was traveling and living on my own in my younger years. Captivating and courageous. Congratulations to you on all of these pieces. It is likely that all is happening as it should, it will just take a million more thoughts to get used to it. Enjoy the slow moments because in your memories they will have truly gone by so fast!
You are supremely lovely. I wish we were friends. Congratulations on so many things.
I once sat on an empty floor of a house not quite believing it… Wonderful story, it also reminds me of a box with nigella seeds I have stashed somewhere in the cupboard a long time ago. Time to find them and go make something… Happy house!
I always feel a tinge of sadness when I get to the end of your posts. This one in particular, I want to know more, what happens……and on and on. Please write a book one day, you know, when you get a sec. Congrats on the house too, btw.
Beautiful. I'm so glad for you. It's a dizzying feeling, to stand on the edge of things, but special and worth savouring. This post reminds me of sitting on my now back steps, waiting to hear if it was going to be my house, in the cool spring sunshine. My life has gotten a lot more complicated since, but so much richer. Enjoy the adventures to come!
i admit that i don't subscribe to blogs (even though i know i am "supposed to"), and i have been tuning into a dozen or so for several years now pretty consistently. i just thumb through them some nights, usually a little while before bed, and i hope there is a post waiting for me to read. for the last while, i am the most excited when you post something new. yours is far and away my most favorite: your voice, the food, the pictures you put in my head, and the ideas that bang against each other (some from you sparking some in me). thank you.
Sarah, this is so lovely, your thoughts tug at my heart-strings, reminding me of when I was about your age, returning from the Peace Corps in Somalia, and doing so many things one doe s in creating a life, a marriage, a family, a home. Buying our first house was a huge experience, one that I did not fully understand until years later (it was, in fact, a yellow house!). I wish you and Ben all the best. What I thought was especially wonderful in your story w as that bit about you and Ben riding the same bus to middle school. I had assumed that you met him much more recently. That little detail is especially wonderful. Are you staying in the same area you've been living in?
thanks for this lovely slice of your life, lady: not self-indulgent if so many people can see themselves in it. I had a conversation with a friend, recently married, about how those threads in her life–the strands of light, of connection, of serendipity–had grown more visible to her as she got older, and more prominently figured in the narrative of her life, and that she was more willing to make them mean something, call them by a name. she & her husband (since I've known almost as long as you've known Ben) asked me to write an invocation for their wedding, and, in it, I acknowledged grace–the term that I would ascribe to that constellation of nigella seed moments in your life. I know that we make the meaning, but it's not such a bad meaning to give it, I don't think.
now I'm rambling. anyway, thanks for your words. and congratulations on the house.
What a beautiful, poetic, and soothing piece of writing! Congratulations! Enjoy your new house, your travels, and every moment of the "connecting things".
Congratulations on so many happy, strange, and comforting things coming to you. I relate tremendously — got engaged in December, am wedding planning (though we pushed our out to next spring) and now house hunting. It is such a weird feeling and place to be in, and though I don't like using this phrase often, I can't help but pinch myself sometimes and think, "Is this real life? Is this really where I'm at now?" And I ask those questions in a good and surprising way because I'd never have guessed 3, 4, 5 or more years ago where, with who, and how I'd be today.
Congratulations again. Safe travels, and best of luck on the cauliflower cake – I look forward to seeing and reading how it turns out if you share.
Be sure to plant some of those nigella seeds in your garden. They make a beautiful blue flower often called love-in-a-mist which also look terrific dried. Just sow them on roughed up ground.
That's beautifully written. So well written I could see in my head exactly where you were and what you were thinking. And, yes, congratulations on the new house :) Quite a journey ahead of you.
You've really captured the mixture of excitement, hesitation, and anticipation that accompany changes like these. Best of luck with all of them!
All teared up. Maybe it's because I know nigella seeds in the love-in-a-mist kind of way. Maybe it's my G'ma's diamond and my Mom's white gold glistening on my left ring finger – words they spoke to me decades ago floating on memories – faces long gone Maybe it's the rabbit hole I fell into as I read your words. Yes, the rabbit hole of comforting thoughts as I "round the next corner," in mid-leap.

HAVANA TIMES — Welcome to this Week in Palestine, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, for September 22, to 28th 2012
The Palestinian leadership submits an application of a non-member state to the United Nations, meanwhile, Israeli military abduct around 20 Palestinians in the West Bank, these stories and more, read on.
The Nonviolent Report
Let's us begin our weekly report with nonviolent activities organized in the West Bank. This week a journalist was injured, many treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation and two arrested when Israeli troops attacked anti wall protests in the West Bank.
On Friday protests were organized in Kufer Kadum village, northern West Bank and the central West Bank villages of Bil'in, Nil'in and Nabi Saleh, as well as the village of AL Ma'ssara, southern West Bank.
At the northern West Bank village of Kufer Kadum, Israeli soldiers attacked the weekly anti wall protest with tear gas and arrested two protesters. The two men were farmers from the village, local souirces said. According to villagers Israeli forces surrounded their village since the early hours of firdya morning to try to stop the protest.
In central West Bank, at the villages of Bil'in and Nil'in, protesters along with their international and Israeli supporters reached the Israeli wall before soldiers attacked them with tear gas and sound bombs as well as chemically treated water that produces bad smell.
One journalist from Serbia was lightly wounded by a tear gas bomb. Many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation in both villages.
In the nearby al Nabi Saleh village Israeli troops fired tear gas and sound bombs at villagers and their international and Israeli supporters at the entrance and did not allow them to reach lands Israeli took from local famers to build a settlement on.
Later troops invaded al Nabi Saleh and fired tear gas at residents homes, many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Also this Friday villagers of Al Ma'sara, southern West Bank, protested the Israeli wall. troops stopped the villagers and their supporters at village entrance and forced them back into the village using rifle-buts and batons. No injuries were reported. .
The West Bank & Gaza Report
This week the Israeli military conducted at least 50 military invasions into Palestinian communities in the west Bank and Gaza. Israeli troops abduct 20 civilians including a child from the west Bank and bulldozed farm lands and fired live rounds at resident's homes in the Gaza Strip. IMEMC's
A Palestinian woman was injured on Monday morning when Israeli tanks opened fire at residents homes located near the Israeli borders in central Gaza Strip. Residents told local news that Israeli forces invaded the area on Sunday night and opened fire in the morning as they withdrew from the area. According to doctors the woman, in her 50s, sustained moderate wounds.
Later in the week Palestinian medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported Wednesday that one resident was killed and two were wounded when a siege-busting tunnel, on the border in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, collapsed on them. The youth was identified as Suleiman Ramadan Al-Masri, 20; the two wounded residents suffered moderate injuries. Last week another tunnel worker was killed in a similar tunnel collapse accident in As-Salaam neighborhood in Rafah.
It is worth mentioning that around 205 Palestinians have been killed in similar tunnel incidents, while hundreds have been injured since 2006. The Palestinians started digging tunnels after Israel enforced its deadly siege on the coastal region. The siege has left Gazan hospitals out of basic and specialized supplies and equipment, an issue that has led to the death of more than 400 patients, including infants and children.
On Thursday The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement that one of its fighters died due to injuries he suffered during training two days ago. The Brigades said that Nimir Sa'id Al-Madhoun, 29, was seriously injured during what it called "a Jihadist mission" several days ago. Al-Madhoun is from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
Also this week a report prepared and published by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) accused the state of Israel of failing to prosecute Israeli soldiers and settlers who commit crimes against the Palestinian people in the occupied territories. The report said that there is a serious increase in attacks carried out by settlers and soldiers against the unarmed Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, including in occupied East Jerusalem.
The report also revealed that an Israeli soldier, who was questioned by Israel for killing a Palestinian mother and her daughter, never faced charges until this moment, and said that three Israeli young settlers were placed under house arrest for five days for attacking a Palestinian family with firebombs leading to serious injuries. The Human Rights Council said that "such attacks are frequent, and escalating in many cases, and target Palestinian civilians and their property".
This week, Palestinians went again to the United Nations demanding a non-member state at the world organization, meanwhile, chief Palestinian negotiator, Ahmad Qurai reiterated the Palestinians' stance that a one-democratic-state solution seems workable amidst failure to reach a two-state-solution, the details and more with IMEMC's Rami Almeghari
Abbas' speech in the UN emphasized on the Palestinian people's need to find a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on basis of United Nations resolutions, pending for decades now.
Abbas outlined the Palestinian Authority's struggle for the sake of peace that is based on a two-state solution and blamed Israel for failure of the peace process since the latter has been kicked off for the past two decades.
The president called for international intervention to stop Israel's settlements building, being a stumbling block in the past of peace between the two sides.
"Actuality " part of Abbas's speech in the UN" In Arabic
"The two-state solution constitutes the basis for the Oslo agreement of 1993 signed by Israel and the PLO under the umbrella of United Nations".
Abbas warned of what he called one more catastrophe for the Palestinian people, in reference to the Palestinian people's refugee problem of 1948, unless there is a strong intervention for the sake of peace between the two peoples.
In the occupied Palestinian territories, reactions were heard far an wide in response to the Abbas's speech. While Fatah party of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas described the remarks as historical, the ruling Hamas party in Gaza, a rival to Fatah, downplayed them.
A Hamas political advisor in Gaza, Yousef Rezqa, maintained that Abbas did not bring something new and that the president's emphasis on peace as a strategic choice won't alone help, for it has already proved failure.
Other Palestinian factions welcomed the speech; Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, praised Abbas's talk as a right step towards international recognition of Palestine as a non-member state in the UN.
And that's all for today from This Week in Palestine this was the Weekly report for September 22 to 28th 2012 from the Occupied Palestinian Territories. For more news and updates please visit our website at www.imemc.org.

Is We Bought a Zoo Real & a True Story?
I was gifted a book called We Bought a Zoo and it's supposed to be a real and true story, but the idea sounds a bit weird yet. Many books and movies are said to based on real and true stories but they end up being fake, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. However, We Bought a Zoo is a nice story and I would recommend it but it gives me curiosity to know whether it happened or not. What do you think? Do you believe that We Bought a Zoo is real and actually a true story?
asked by Gregory in Books & Writing | 4551 views | 12-28-2011 at 05:07 PM
Answer Question!
We Bought a Zoo is a real and it's a true story indeed. I don't know why do you think it's made up, it's not so weird and could happen. What I liked the most about We Bought a Zoo is the family strength and dedication put on that project to renew a Zoo which was in decay, it can happen so it's a real. I would recommend it too but it's not so interesting if you like other genres. There are several books that are true stories and in my opinion are better.
But having said that, We Bought a Zoo is a nice book for any member of your family, they will appreciate reading such an emotive real and true story with magnificent storytelling.

Last week, elementary students in Magalia got a special visit from Superintendent Tim Taylor. Taylor, his executive assistant Mia Osborne-Ng and student education intern Arianna Sells. The Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) team stopped by Sara Schmid's classroom to engage students in the world of art, and to talk about how painting can help express emotions.
In addition to sharing some of his paintings, Superintendent Taylor took the students on an imaginary, short-story journey. Sells also shared some of her artwork with the students.
Cedarwood Elementary students were really excited to have visitors, and Superintendent Taylor let the class know that BCOE's mascot, Chewy, would be visiting them the next day!
Students listening as Tim Taylor talks about artwork.

Avid4 Adventure encourages campers to push beyond their limits in a safe environment.
Paul Dreyer sings a song many parents of a certain age hum along to.
"When I grew up, playgrounds had sharp edges and metal slides that got really hot. Now they have soft edges and foam surfaces for if you fall. That's good in some ways, but also cheats kids out of risk assessment," he said.
He's the CEO—Chief Empowerment Officer—of Avid4 Adventure, a company that wants to introduce kids to outdoor adventures, with the accompanying goal of instilling judgment and problem-solving skills. With day camps, overnight resident camps, and overnight expeditions, Avid4 Adventure gets kids on mountain bikes and kayaks and into the woods for hiking and rock climbing.
For instance, he said, at the top of a big hill on a mountain bike trip, "We stop and ask the kids, 'What's going to happen here?' and we wait for them to recognize, 'Oh, we're going to go faster here.'" All staff members undergo weeklong training, role-playing with their peers to not give the answers, but ask questions until the campers themselves decide it's smarter to give each rider a little more space to avoid running into the person in front of them. "Kids are innately smart in this way," he said.
The company was founded in 2004 in Colorado—Dreyer's been with it one way or another since the genesis—and expanded into California in 2010. Oakland's camp was established in 2012, and there are five other Bay Area locations.
"We have a deep partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District," said Dreyer, which gives campers access to those wonderful trails in the Oakland hills. They learn paddleboarding at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline Regional Park and head to the Berkeley hills for rock climbing. Children as young as 5 years old and as old as 12th-graders can participate, grouped by age range.
The "learn-to-bike" day camp in Oakland has been very popular. Kids aged 3.5 to 6 years old benefit from a progressive curriculum to get balanced on two wheels. "We've gotten feedback from a ton of parents that they've spent four years trying to teach their kid to ride, and we do it in one day," said Dreyer.
Besides the joy of outdoor sports, the company encourages appreciation of the natural world, and the deep satisfaction of silence.
Avid4 Adventure camps are in Oakland, Burlingame, Lafayette, Moraga, Palo Alto, and Mill Valley. Visit Avid4.com for information.
Looking for other options? Here are some similar camps in the East Bay. Many offer free transportation to the site; check websites for details.
Sarah's Science Summer Camp and This Land is Your Land Summer Camp, ages 4-14, with weekly day camp sessions focusing on nature and hands-on science, including hiking, music, art, swimming and games. Different weeks offer different themes, such as the Itsy Bitsy World of Nature, where campers make an "insect hotel" for a ladybug, or Eco Week, where a merry-go-round operates with solar power, and campers design an aerodynamic electric vehicle. In Oakland and Berkeley. Visit www.SarahScience.com.
Roughing It Day Camp, ages 4-16, an outdoor day camp at the Lafayette Reservoir. Try horseback riding, swimming, fishing, rowing, crafts, and more traditional camp fare like singing and skits. This camp has been around since 1972. Each year, campers can do new challenges, so they "grow" with the camp. Older campers can do "SuperChoice" activities, like a water-based scavenger hunt or an Amazing Race-like team challenge. Visit www.RoughingIt.com.
Camp EDMO, for children pre-K to eighth grade, on Bay Farm Island in Alameda. This is a play-based day camp that emphasizes wackiness along with art, science, coding, film, technology, and nature programs. All campers learn about EDMO's proprietary life skills game, the EDMO Vibe Game, which rewards campers for doing things that demonstrate empathy, kindness, curiosity, and other desirable social emotions. The camp's name derives from the two founders, who worked with local science museums to develop the STEAM curriculum. Visit www.CampEdMo.org.
Urban Adventure Camp, ages 8-15, all throughout the Bay Area. With this innovative program, the campers' day starts at Rockridge or North Berkeley BART, for riding to museums, gardens, the zoo, and parks—even a Bay Cruise—along the line, with a different destination each day depending on the camp. Explorer camps focus on biology and natural sciences. Other camp options are history, art, physics, and technology, and campers can mix up the best of all of these. Active camps include active adventure (sailing and a high-ropes course, for example), art (glass blowing and street art graffiti), and culinary (visiting restaurant kitchens to learn the ropes). Visit www.UrbanAdventureCamps.com.
Berkeley Rec Sports, ages 8-17, is based at the University of California Aquatic Center in the Berkeley Marina. These outdoor day camps include windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, kite-flying, rock climbing, nature scavenger hunts, and more, such as sculpting environmental clay and letterboxing, an outdoor hobby incorporating elements of orienteering, art, and geocaching. Visit www.RecSports.berkeley.edu/outdoor-program-camps.
Trackers Bay, ages 4-17. (Trackers Bay also offers adult programming, to be done solo or with your family). The outdoor summer camps for youth can be day camps or overnights, with enticing titles like "Forest Ninja," "Realms of the Golden Gate," and "Evil Secret Agent Academy." Campers can learn blacksmithing, fishing (and cooking what you catch on a campfire), woodworking, helping out on a goat farm, and all the regular outdoor sports, just with a very creative angle. There's even a role-playing camp for elves, dragons, and wizards: get an early start on your SCA membership. In Berkeley, Albany and Oakland. Visit www.trackersbay.com—the photography alone is worth a visit.


The old NLC ePortfolio theme has now been discontinued.
There is a much simpler way of making an ePortfolio now using a plugin.
The pupils can use any theme they like for their ePortfolio as the theme will have no effect on the finished Profile.
There are no pages in the new ePortfolio.
When a child needs to they can create a profile page from the posts in their ePortfolio. We suggest that pupils may not want to do this until almost the end of a school year.
Extra help can also be found on the National Blog help site. There are also some useful videos on the site that take you through many of the processes.


But 8-year-old Britney Campbell has been taken away from the mother who thought it was a good idea to pump her little face with Botox to win pagents.
A person with knowledge of the situation told ABC News that the girl, Britney, is doing well but did not offer more detail on the ongoing investigation into the girl's mother, Kerry Campbell.
On Friday, the San Francisco Human Services Agency, launched an investigation into Campbell after she admitted to "Good Morning America" that she injected botox into her daughter's face to help her in beauty pageants.
"It's pretty unusual for a mom to be injecting an 8-year-old with botox and certainly is grounds for an investigation," said Trent Rohrer of the San Francisco Human Services Agency on Friday.
Campbell and daughter Britney, appeared on "Good Morning America" last week defending the 8-year-old pageant contestant's use of botox.
"I just, like, don't, like, think wrinkles are nice on little girls," Britney said.
Britney admitted it hurt to get the injections on her face, but said she was used to the pain.
The admission sparked an uproar online, in the medical community and by child advocates.
Campbell told ABC News that she does not believe she's endangering Britney's health and that her daughter asked for the injections. The mom is a part-time aesthetician and no stranger to botox herself, having done the treatment on her own face.
As happy as we are to hear that, for once, child services has moved quickly in a situation, we gotta wonder if this is the right thing. This little girl has been taken away from the only home she's ever known.
Not that we're condoning her lunatic mother, but do you think taking Britney away was the right decision?

Dale Studios Meets Growing Business Demands with 3.2m Agfa Anapurna H3200i LED
Never miss a deadline. That has been the mantra of Leicester-based Dale Studios for more than 30 years. It is this focus on meeting the core needs of its customers that has also resulted in them being one of the UK's most creative, respected and reliable design and printing companies.
Keeping such a fundamental promise, even while the business continues to grow at a rapid rate, means ensuring the right tools for the job are readily at hand. For Dale Studios, the latest addition to their workshop is a new Agfa Anapurna H3200i LED 3.2m Hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll LED UV-curable printer, supplied by long-term large format solutions partner, I-Sub.
It's all about capacity
Ben Millard is Creative Director for Dale Studios and he explains why the company needed to make this important investment. "Our business has grown several-fold over the last five years, since we first invested in UV flatbed printing with I-Sub. Maintaining our commitment to never miss a deadline means we have to have the capacity to fulfil an ever-increasing number and range of projects and we knew it was time to significantly increase the printing and production power we could offer."
Initially, the company was looking at 3.2m UV roll-to-roll options, but when they saw the hybrid version of the Agfa Anapurna, the machine was hard to refuse. "For a relatively low cost premium, we could see the huge benefits that having a hybrid flatbed and roll-to-roll printer could offer us, particular at 3.2m size. We have the flexibility to print onto a range of rigid media as well as fast roll-to-roll printing, and dual roll facility," says Ben.
Dale Studios and I-Sub have worked together for more than 10 years and i-Sub has supplied all of the company's large format solvent and UV printers in that time. Ben explains the key reasons behind this long relationship, "Fulfilling our promise to meet every deadline means that as well as having the right equipment in place, we also need a supplier that can respond positively and professionally to any issues we may have. In that sense, I-Sub have never let us down. They are there when and where we need them and always go that extra mile to make sure we can deliver the very best service to our customers."
Easy installation and workflow integration
The new Agfa Anapurna H3200i LED was installed in September 2018 and has instantly become a critical element in Dale Studio's workflow. "Agfa in particular have been excellent in ensuring we are up and running and fulfilling orders really quickly. It has been a fairly straightforward installation and the machine is quickly up to speed, pushing out work at an electric pace pretty much 24/7," says Ben.
The company already ran their existing production machines using Caldera RIP software, which the Agfa is also running on. This manages the workflow and provides greater control of the printing and production processes. "Consistency between different machines and colour correct print is critically important to us and something Caldera does very well. We have already noticed that the printer, managed by the Caldera RIP, is delivering high quality graphics and colours with less ink usage. This is delivering significant cost-savings, as well as ensuring we are meeting the demands of our customers," he adds.
Future business growth
Dale Studios offers a complete end-to-end solution for design, print, manufacture, installation and after-care. Quite simply, they know what they are doing, and have a great understanding of the industry and because they do the whole job,
they can also maintain better control of the deadline. "The addition of the new Agfa could further transform our business," says Ben, adding, "It significantly enhances our production capacity and our capability to deliver a broader range of applications. This means meeting even more of our clients' requirements and growing our reputation as well as our turnover."
Emma Plant, Sales Director for I-Sub Digital, comments, "Dale Studios have been an exciting company to work with, particularly over recent years. They are fully focused on delivering the best possible solutions for their customers and this means they demand the very best in terms of innovation, quality and reliability from their machines and suppliers. We have delivered the latest in large format printing technology and they have brought the best out of these solutions and their rapid growth is testimony to this."
Ben Millard concludes, "This is a really exciting time for Dale Studios. Our growth over the last ten years has been rapid, and with the addition of the new Agfa, we fully expect to keep this going. Quite simply, the printer gives us the quality, speed and capacity to produce even more jobs, at pace whilst still maintaining the quality and attention to detail, as well as allowing us to offer a host of new applications, such as large scale fabric back-lit banners, which is a rapidly growing market area along with ultra wide prints up to 3.2m. We have built our business on the service we offer and our commitment to never letting our customers down. Thanks to our latest investment, we know that we can continue to get better, meeting even more of the 'unrealistic' deadlines and delivering even more amazing projects."
