ergo@WSH is one of the first few mobile apps available in the market that allows workers to evaluate their postures using photographs in a simple and user-friendly way.
Searches in the literature and market places revealed a lack of appropriate free, easy-to-use, interesting and readily accessible learning tools on ergonomics or good working postures. While a few solutions and tools were available on the market, they were often costly and complicated to use, requiring sophisticated software and using technical medical terms.
To meet the needs of the increasingly tech-savvy workforce, the Workplace Safety and Health Institute developed ergo@WSH, a free mobile app on the iOS and Android platforms. By tapping on the camera function of the smart-phone, users can simply take a picture or video and perform instant analysis of their sitting and lifting postures and receive tips on how to improve postures and relevant stretching exercises.

Now that consumers have become comfortable going online to learn about and shop for insurance products and services, it's time to really step up your game. Insurers have undergone the process of increasing their online presence through their company's Insurance Websites and understand the upside of this marketing strategy. If you are still hesitant you should check out a few simple ways to raise the visibility of your agency's website, in ways that will hopefully give you the confidence to move forward.
One of the easiest and most beneficial ways to distinguish your agency's site from that of others is to use distinct and easy-to-read fonts. Making good use of promotional materials and advertisements will also help enable your visitors to differentiate between trustworthy sites, such as yours, that offer strong and healthy insurance solutions, distinguishing them from sites that lack that special professional touch.
One of the best ways to gain consumer trust is to add a news feed to your website that is constantly updated, This will give it a certain authenticity to visitors and prospects, and even currently insureds will be impressed by your ability to target current, market-related news items. Stay up on all of the latest insurance news so you can share it in a timely manner.
Surveys are a great way to further help you to connect with those visiting your site. Many agencies have found that adding a guestbook to the site is a great way to invite feedback from visitors. Messages left in the guestbook can also be a very helpful tool for learning ways to improve your current business structure. There are systems available that allow you to receive email notifications when new comments are added giving you the ability to preview messages before they're actually posted. This way, you're able to weed out any inappropriate postings before they go live.
Adding a virtual tour is a great way to familiarize new prospects with your business as well as present you in a professional light. By providing a series of still photos with detailed captions about individual agents first-time visitors won't feel like they're dealing with robots. The idea is to turn your Insurance Websites into stylized, visual web spaces, full of valuable information aimed at enticing prospects, hopefully making you a top choice for all of their insurance needs.

November Alumni Update
By Tim Braun
It's been a long time since we did an alumni update and we've got over a dozen players playing in leagues throughout the world including the NHL, AHL, ECHL and multiple European leagues.
The Huskies have two former players in the NHL at this point in the season.
Jujhar Khaira is playing in Edmonton and has 5 assists while playing in 22 of the team's 24 games.

Pheonix Copley is the primary back-up goaltender for Washington and has seen action in nine games including his first five NHL wins. He's allowed 25 goals in 490 minutes with a 0.899 save percentage. His numbers have been pretty good, excluding a couple shaky appearances. You can't ignore bad appearances, but ignoring his first start and the terrible appearance against Montreal on November 19th, Copley has a 2.20 GAA and 0.921 save percentage.
Michigan Tech currently has eight alumni who have played in the AHL this season. The group played for Mike Sertich, Jamie Russell, Mel Pearson and Joe Shawhan during their time at MTU.
Tanner Kero was traded during the off-season to Vancouver from Chicago and the Canucks assigned Kero to the Utica Comets. Kero's has 6 goals and 10 assists through 21 games good for a tie with Reid Boucher, a former OHL star who's been in pro hockey since 2013, for most points on the Comets. The Comets currently sit fourth in the North Division at 9-10-1.

Joel L'Esperance made his professional debut at the end of last season and has stuck with the Texas Stars. Through 18 games L'Esperance has 16 points including a team leading 8 goals. He trails only Denis Gurianov and Erik Condra (Notre Dame) for in points. The Stars currently sit in seventh place in the Central Division at 8-8-2 with multiple games in hand. Shane Hanna is also playing for the Texas Stars and has 2 points in 14 appearances as a rookie.
Chris Conner is the only remaining AHL/NHL professional from the Sertich/Russell era, but he continues to put up points for Lehigh Valley. now in his fourth season with the Phantoms, an affiliate of Philadelphia, Conner has a chance to top 200 points in his career with Lehigh Valley if he can continue current production. He's currently fifth on the team in scoring with 7 goals and 5 assists while playing in all but one of Lehigh Valley's 18 games. The top four scorers include other familiar college names including Greg Carey (St. Lawrence), and Mike Vecchione (Union). Also of note, Conner was named an Alternate Captain for the third time with the Phantoms.
Mitch Reinke made his NHL debut last season with the St. Louis Blues, however he has started this season with their AHL affiliate in San Antonio. Despite being a blueliner, Reinke is tied for the team lead with 12 points through 21 games. His 11 assists also leads the team. The Rampage are in last place in the Central Division with an 8-13 record.
Blake Pietila has been a part of the New Jersey Devils organization since turning pro in 2015. He's appeared in 19 NHL game, but spent most of his time in the AHL. This year with Binghampton, Pietila is in a three-way tie for point leader at 13 points with Nick Lappin (Brown) and Marian Studenic. Pietila is also an Alternate Captain for the sixth place Devils. They have a record of 8-10-3.
Matt Roy is in his third season with the Ontario Reign including a short stint after the end of his college career in 2016-17. Through 17 games, Roy has 3 goals and 11 points which is good for fourth on the team behind Brett Sutter, Matt Moulson (Cornell), and Sean Walker (BGSU). The Reign currently sit in 6th place in the Pacific with a 7-7-3 record and multiple games in hand.
Cliff Watson played in 4 games for the Stockton Heat while on loan from the Kansas City Mavericks (ECHL) and put up one assist.
EDIT: Angus Redmond was recently called up to the San Diego Gulls after spending the first two months of the season with Reading in the ECHL. He has yet to appear for the Gulls, which currently sit in last place in the Pacific Division with a 7-7-2 record.

Alex Petan is in his second season with Bolzano, an Italian team in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). Last year he helped lead the team to the EBEL Title and a spot in the Champions Hockey League. Petan managed 6 points in 8 games during the Champions Hockey League, where he helped Bolzano advanced from the group stage for the first time ever before losing in the Round of 16 to the #1 seed HC Plzeň of the Czech Republic. So far in the EBEL regular season Petan has 7 points in 15 games. He's currently ranked 11th on the team in points but has missed a handful of games. Time will tell if he can return to his 2017-18 form as a point per game scorer.
Mark Auk decided to make the move to Finland this last offseason and is playing for Lukko in the Finnish 1st Division (Liiga). In 18 games, Auk has 3 points while Lukko is currently 13th of 15 teams with a 9-11-4 record.
Brett Olson is in his second season with Ingolstadt in the German top division (DEL). Through 22 games, Olson has 4 goals and 9 points and Ingolstadt is currently 6th with a 14-8-1 record.
Steven Seigo made the move to the DEL this offseason joining the Straubing Tigers after bouncing around Finland, KHL and Sweden. In 22 games, Seigo has 5 points and the Tigers are currently 8th with a 11-10-2 record.
We have quite a few players down in the ECHL, I won't go into details on any of them but here is a list of the guys and where they're playing:
Jamie Phillips – Florida
EDIT: Angus Redmond – Reading
CJ Eick – Kansas City
Chris Leibinger – Rapid City
Riley Sweeney – Kansas City

C'mon, man…
Tim Braun
I know, but when I started writing the article it was a couple weeks ago and he had the one bad start early…had to tweak it afterwards…not to mention hes pretty young so you're going to have bad starts. I was trying to show what his numbers were outside of his terrible appearances.

The amazing Arlo surveillance cameras keep on improving; the 1080p Arlo Pro 2 is a higher goals variant of the more established 720p Arlo Pro. What's more, the Pro 2 can be utilized either as a wired or remote camera (the original Pro was remote as it were). That potential consistent power supply makes it workable for clients to buy in to Arlo's persistent video recording (CVR) cloud choice, just as to utilize a discretionary sun based board. Different advances (which likewise apply to the Pro, Pro 2 and the Arlo Q) incorporate extra shrewd home similarity, specifically support for Amazon Alexa remote voice directions.
The Arlo Pro 2 is accessible in an assortment of bundles. Two cameras and a base station cost $479.99; four cameras with a base station is $799.99. On the off chance that you have an Arlo system effectively set up, you can include singular Pro 2s ($219.99 each) to your present base station. Be that as it may, you can regularly discover these bundles for less.
The 3.1 x 1.9 x 2.8-inch Arlo Pro 2 is almost indistinguishable physically to the original Arlo Pro. Both epitomize Arlo's mark plan of a smooth, bended, ovoid body with a dark focal point and face. The minimal camera, which has no legs or stand, exhibits a similarly subtle low profile. A little round attractive mount that screws into the divider is incorporated with the camera. Other mounting choices are accessible from Arlo and outsider sellers.
Like the Arlo Pro, the Pro 2 has eight night-vision infrared LEDs that encompass the focal point. A marker Drove (additionally on the focal point angle) squints and changes hues to demonstrate battery charge, synchronizing and firmware refreshing.
This 4.8-ounce indoor/outdoor Arlo security camera camera is IP65-ensured climate safe. You can utilize it connected or without wire (fueled by the included 2440 mAh battery-powered battery). The 76-inch control string connects to a scaled down USB port on the back and into a nearly little USB/Air conditioning converter block. An additional battery-powered battery with charger costs $49.99, and the new sun powered power board is $79.99.
The Arlo Pro 2 requires the 2.3 x 6.9 x 5.0-inch white trapezoidal base station, which is incorporated into generally bundles. (It's a bit much for the Arlo Q, which makes the Q a superior purchase.) Designed into your nearby system, the base station provides an enduring low-control Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4GHz) association for up to 15 cameras (however no one but five can be gushed without a moment's delay).
You can program the base station's 100+ decibel alarm to be activated by movement or sound, or you can enact it from your telephone. While none of the Arlo cameras have a space for a memory card, a (discretionary) USB outer hard drive might be connected to the base station.
Distributed storage and Checking: Free moving seven-days distributed storage of occasion videos for up to five cameras, premium charges for longer periods and more cameras. Ceaseless video recording (CVR) and storage accessible, beginning at $99/year/camera (or $9.99/month) for 14 days of chronicle.
The Pro 2 1080p video, 130-degree field of view and glass focal point caught extremely great, fresh sunlight video, in both wired and remote modes. Subtleties were anything but difficult to perceive, with great shading and introduction when seen on our iPhone and Android telephone. In any case, when seen through the web-based interface on an extensive PC screen, features were extinguished and pixelated. By examination, the original Pro's sunlight video was littler (because of the lower goals), yet would be advised to complexity and presentation on all screens as did the 1080p Arlo Q.
The Pro 2 night vision utilizes a similar eight 850 nm LEDs for night vision as the Pro. In any case, we saw some critical contrasts. Like the sunlight videos, the Pro 2's night videos when seen on our test telephones were fresh with exceptionally great complexity and detail, and better circulation of light toward the edges of the casing than the Pro. Notwithstanding, when seen on our substantial PC screen, our Pro 2 night videos experienced issues with fine subtleties and were more pixelated than the Pro's, particularly when following movement. By examination, the Arlo Q's night vision had correspondingly extremely great complexity, detail and introduction, however movement looked obscured.
Both the versatile applications and the web-based interface have fantastic, about indistinguishable controls (called Modes) for setting up redid movement and sound recognition. The default Modes are Furnished, Incapacitated, Calendar and Geofencing.
The Timetable Mode is entirely adaptable, enabling you to make distinctive timeframes for every day, and effectively rehash them on explicit days. Hence, in contrast to numerous different cameras, the Arlo system can be turned on or off for the duration of the night starting with one day's night then onto the next day's morning. Geofencing, which can be set just through the portable application, turns your system on when you (and your telephone) leave the property and after that off when you return.
The Arlo Pro 2 has a decent choice of alternatives for sparing your chronicles that incorporates both nearby and distributed storage.Arlo has a liberal free distributed storage program that is incorporated into your buy of the Pro 2: seven days (moving) of activated occasions for up to five cameras with restricted help for three months. For most clients, the seven-day program ought to be such's fundamental. That is on the grounds that downloading singular chronicles to your telephone or PC is a straightforward tap or snap. While the Arlo Pro 2 does exclude a space for a memory card, the base station can oblige an outer USB hard drive.

Here's An Alfa Romeo Brera S With A 370bhp Supercharged V6
Our used pick for today packs a little more punch than the average Brera S, but it's not cheap
The Alfa Romeo Brera is a car you buy for the looks, not the performance. The 2.2-litre petrol versions are painfully slow, and even the top-of-the-range V6 isn't that quick, with a 0-62mph time that barely drops below the seven-second mark.
To make matters worse, the Brera shirked the legendary 'Busso' V6 in favour of 3.2 derived from the GM 'High Feature' unit, which remains the dullest six-cylinder engine I've ever experienced. Admittedly, Alfa changed quite a bit of the Australian-built six-banger, choosing to fit bespoke cylinder head, exhaust and injection system. But still, a Busso it is not.
There were rumours of a Maserati V8-powered GTA model (quite how that would have worked with the Brera's transverse engine layout, we're not sure), but that never happened.
It's not all bad news for those after a faster, sportier Brera, however. This one's packing a supercharger from London-based Alfa tuners Autodelta, bringing the total output to a much more palatable 370bhp. It's had the "brakes and drivetrain have been uprated" to cope with the added thrust, although exactly what's been done hasn't been detailed.
The starting point for the project was a Brera S - those were the sharper, Prodrive-fettled versions of the coupe, and they remain the ones to have. Then again, part of Prodrive's overhaul involved ditching the four-wheel drive system, so the power delivery of this 370bhp, front-wheel drive Brera could be…interesting.
The car has done 63,338 miles - relatively low for a 10-year-old car. It also sounds like it's had rather a lot of money chucked at it, and we're not just talking about the supercharger conversion, which Autodelta currently chargers over £7000 for.
Unfortunately, this is reflected in the price: it's up for £17,995, making it by far the most expensive Brera for sale in the UK right now.
Would you be tempted, or would you stick with a standard Brera S?

A 7.3 mile hike from the Pacific Palisades to a popular overlook in Topanga State Park. The first part of this hike – the Los Liones Trail – is one of the most lush riparian canyons I've seen in the Santa Monica Mountains. It's gently graded, moderately shady, and definitely worth a look even if you have to fight crowds. Afterward, the trail meets up with the system of fire roads in Topanga State Park, and makes a relentless ascent to Parker Mesa (1525ft). On a clear day, you'll get amazing views of the Santa Monica Bay, and often inland as far as the San Bernardino Mountains.
Parker Mesa is a popular overlook of the Pacific Coast in Topanga State Park, but most people reach it on fire roads from the Park's western entrance. For a much better look at the varied landscapes inside Topanga State Park – and for a much more intense workout – this southern approach is a more interesting route.
The Los Liones Trail starts on Los Liones Drive in the Pacific Palisades at a clearly marked gate. This is a popular trail, but there's plenty of free street parking, as well as two spillover lots near picnic areas and restrooms.
The Los Liones Trail starts out inconspicuously enough, looking like just about any other coastal Southern California trail – but as the single-track route winds its way over several short hills and and through the scrub, it starts to take on a character all its own.
Eventually, the trail gets shadier and incredibly lush. At parts, the entire canyon floor is covered in a carpet of ivy – it looks almost like kudzu – and I bet it's an amazing place to hike during the spring blooms.
The Los Liones Trail continues for 1.3 miles, gradually opening up to a small viewpoint at the junction with the East Topanga Fire Road.
From here, you'll probably be able to get some great views of the Santa Monica Bay, and perhaps even inland toward downtown, depending on the air quality.
Keep left at the junction to continue on the Fire Road, which now begins a long and seemingly arduous incline as it meanders north through the State Park. The gain is steady and steep in parts, but it's manageable – about 600 feet in the next mile – and there are plenty of great views to go around. Still, I don't know if I'd want to be doing this part of the trail on a hot summer day.
This is the bulk of the trail, and since the terrain isn't as varied as it was on the Los Liones Trail, it can seem a bit monotonous. If you want to add a bit of variety (and make the trail more strenuous), most of the small peaks and bumps do have use trails that march across the summits instead of avoiding them like the fire road.
Continue on the fire road until you reach a three-way junction at about 3.2 miles. Take the clearly marked fire road to Parker Mesa for another half mile as it heads west along a ridge. There are a few ups and downs here, but nothing too bad. You'll also have some great views into the parks more rugged interior, but the main draw are the sights from Parker Mesa itself.
While the Mesa can seem crowded at times, you'll always have something to look at in the distance. On this day, I could see from Santa Barbara Island all the way to the distant San Bernardinos. The day after a rain, the views would probably be even better.
When you're done resting and soaking in the views, return back the way you came.
Excellent. Most of Topanga State Park consists of wide fire roads with the occasional firebreak spur. All trails are clearly marked, and most have distance markers at major junctions. The Los Liones Trail is one of the most beautiful single-track trails I've seen in the Santa Monica Mountains.
From the Pacific Coast Highway, turn east onto Sunset Blvd. and left onto Los Liones Drive after 0.3 miles (the turn comes up quick, and it's not a major intersection - so be careful!). The trailhead is clearly marked about 0.6 miles down Los Liones Drive, just before it makes a sharp turn to the west. There are several parking areas closer to Sunset Blvd, which have a short trail connecting them to the Los Liones Trail. Transit accessible via Metro busses 2/302 and 534.
Nope. Dogs aren't allowed in Topanga State Park.
Are dogs on a leash allowed on this trail?
Did the hike today. Fantastic! With a few scrambles and all the ups and downs, it ends up being about 1750 ft of climb. Also, I clocked it at 7.7 mi. Absolutely beautiful views and doesn't really give you the same vertigo feeling that some high hikes can because when you're in the interior of the canyon, the drops are often relatively small. One thing I will say---those first few switchbacks after the first bench (paseo miramar) are not easy!
There have not been any fires in this part of the Santa Monica Mountains lately. It'll be summer-brown, but fine!
Nancy, if you're worried about being by yourself, you'll most likely have plenty of company on this trail :) I say go for it!
Two fun Vlogs we made while hiking here on Thanksgiving. With the added weight of blankets and food it was a killer workout!
p.s. It's funny, the signs spell the trail two different ways!
Yeah this is not the best hike to do on a hot sunny day unless you're going in the early morning or evening - it's full sun the whole way. And yes, the drought has not been kind to our plant life. The oaks that are usually turning gold and orange this time of year are just wilting their leaves and dropping them off. It's bad everywhere.
Give this trail another shot on a cool winter morning - or right after a rain storm. I guarantee it will feel like an entirely different trip!
Yeah this drought has been really tough on all our plant life. All the oaks that usually turn yellow and orange are just wilting their leaves and dropping them instead. Give this trail a go right after a winter rain and it'll be brand new to you!


Am working on e reader covers to sell. In these pics I'm only up to the first turn right side out stage. Because of a back injury, I find it easier to chain piece the non quilt items then recline on the bed when I need to turn them. Aside from the books you see in the one pic (I'm a voracious reader & usually read at least 3 or 4 at the same time), the whole rest of the bed was empty.
There also wasn't a furry face in sight when I set the pieces down on the end of the bed. A 20 sec turn of back and voila! I have said before, Patch can hear fabric hit the bed from another room.
She is beautiful! How nice that you share a love of fabric, though your taste in food might differ a bit.
he, he. She just wants to help mama!!
I know exactly what you mean! I swear that Chester (my avatar) can hear my eyes open in the morning. And I think he reads minds too. If it is a morning that I am planning on sleeping in a bit, he'll be quiet. But otherwise, he will start meowing as soon as those eyelids get raised.
BTW your Patch is a handsome hairball. I'm sure he just wants to help or maybe supervise!
Gorgeous cat. I love calicoes.
Patch is beautiful! I love her coloring! Such a precious little face!
Oh my, she is SO pretty!!
Patch is darling! How nice that you have a sewing buddy! Miss my two black kitties tremendously, but sure enjoy seeing your fur baby! :-) She's sweet looking.
GingerK, my dtr and 2 grands at one time had a cat named Chester. He walked with a limp!
I have a kitty that I got from a rescue, and she is a Turkish Van (try google, you will be amazed). They are an anomaly , and occur randomly...tho they are called a breed. They are white and the "cap" and tail markings are a huge factor (they can be black, grey or "red" but I haven't seen a calico), and have extra soft fur (like rabbit fur) because they have no coarse hairs in their coat and their love of water are factors as well. Some have a spot on their back between their shoulder blades called "the thumb print of God" and mine has it. They are sooo loveable. I think Patch might be one!
What a beautiful baby. When I had kittys they had to be right on the fabric while I was working on a quilt. LOL.
What an adorable kitty! Thanks for sharing pics.
I'm a dog person, but that is one beautiful cat!
That is such a beautiful kitty. Cats are wonderful.
Pretty cat. She has such a sweet face.
First, I have to say that Patch is absolutely beautiful. I love calicoes. I agree, some cats can hear fabrics hit a surface they can sit on. My "TJ" loves to walk across my quilting projects to get to the window, only to walk back to sit on my portable ironing board. It's like a routine with her.
What a cute face! How can you not let Patch do what he wants to do!
She who dies with the most fabric didn't sew fast enough!
Oh, wow - she is absolutely beautiful.
That is one more pretty cat in this great world of pretty cats--there are no ugly ones in my book.....but she is a real beauty.


At the very tip of south Herefordshire and essentially a village, Symonds Yat has become a popular visitor destination and today has many tourism businesses operating from both sides of the River Wye which it straddles. Famous for its spectacular natural scenery and heavily wooded gorge, it is a gateway from Gloucestershire to Herefordshire and a real Wye Valley icon, delving on into the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
The river is the main player, attracting activity seekers on its waters from experienced canoeists to leisure paddlers. It is the perfect spot for a picnic and just for messing about on the river. The only way across the banks is by ancient pull ferry, where the ferryman pulls passengers across by an overhead rope. Of course there is a road bridge for cars upwater, but that is a 5 mile trip. The waters have cut a deep gorge into the limestone rocks, creating towering cliffs, a magnet to climbers, and creating Symonds Yat Rock; a 120 metre high viewpoint from where you might see the resident Peregrine Falcons. King Arthur's Caves, in the hills of Great Doward, have housed several archeological discoveries including the remains of a Saber-toothed Tiger! Dotted along the banks are plenty of visitor attractions including a maze, butterfly zoo, oriental gardens and plenty of restaurants and pubs to quench your thirst in.


A West Texas company received approval Wednesday to pump water from the Capitan aquifer and pipe it to the Permian Basin where it will be used in oil and gas operations.
The permit approved by the Culberson County Ground Water Conservation District allows Agua Grande to export up to 6,000 acre/feet of water per year, or roughly 1.9 billion gallons.
Agua Grande – owned by oilman Dan Allen Hughes, Jr. – intends to pipe the water nearly 60 miles northwest to the Delaware Basin where it will be used in oil and gas operations. The Delaware Basin is part of the prolific Permian Basin, one of the country's most productive oil fields.
According to the company's application, there are approximately 20 oil and gas companies that have already expressed interest in buying the non-potable water. The list reflects some of the largest companies operating in the Permian Basin today, including Midland-based Concho Oil and Gas. The permit, filed in March , cites hydrology and engineering reports that claim operations will not affect nearby wells on other properties.
But that didn't appease area farmers, ranchers and environmentalists who attended hours-long hearings in June and August to voice their concern.
The company says their pumping won't have any affect on the nearby San Solomon Springs, which feeds Balmorhea State Park. But some experts say the aquifers in West Texas aren't fully understood yet and it's uncertain how activity in one might affect another. Many in the area are quick to bring up the case of the famed Comanche Springs in Fort Stockton which after 1947 were all but dry, after significant pumping from the Edwards-Trinity Aquifer.
By 1961, the springs stopped flowing altogether.
Originally, the board planned to review the permit at an earlier hearing in June, but tabled the decision to receive more information and public testimony. At both hearings, questions of the district's legal bounds were brought up. The district and Apache Grande's counsel suggested the board couldn't legally deny the permit based on the potential affects the pumping would have outside the district. Legally, they said, the board's purview is confined to its district itself.
With the permit approved, the company says they will begin construction by the end of the year and begin pumping water in 2018.

Sometimes the OS X software firewall gets stuck in a loop and will continuously prompt to allow network access for an application.
I've seen this happen a couple of times with iTunes. Though it can happen with any application. A common cause is changing icons of system applications.
We see it fails the signing and there are some extraneous objetcs.xib files. The error indicates these files weren't included in the original signing of the application, they should be safe to delete. Even if we break the application, we can always reinstall after cleaning up.

Q: Passing values from one page to another in JavaScript In below code, the value is not passed from one page to another.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<script type="text/javascript">

    function generateRow() {
        var myvar = "testuser";

        '<%Session["temp"] = "' + myvar +'"; %>';
        window.location = "WebForm2.aspx";
    }
</script>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <div runat="server">
        <input id="Button1" type="button" onclick="generateRow()" value="button" />
    </div>

</body>
</html>

What is the problem in above code?

A: You cannot set a session with Javascript. Your output JS file will be exactly what you wrote down.
You can do it like this:
window.location = "WebForm2.aspx?temp=" + myvar;

And in Webform2 you can do:
Request.querystring["temp"];

A: Global variables in one page are not kept by the next.
If you want this client-side, you have three options (at least):

*

*Pass the variable to the next page on the query string, e.g.:
window.location = "WebForm2.aspx?myvar=" + encodeURIComponent(myvar);

*Use a cookie (millions of examples online, I won't repeat them, bit of a pain to read the cookie).

*Use client-side session storage or local storage, both of which are covered here. Here's the client-side session storage example:
// Setting
sessionStorage.myvar = myvar;

// Getting (on the next page)
var myvar = sessionStorage.myvar;

(sessionStorage is a global variable provided by the browser.)
This works on just about any browser you need to care about (IE8+, and modern versions of basically everything else).
Server-side, both option 1 and 2 would work, but 1 would make the most sense.

We asked for your toughest discipline challenges, and, boy, did we get an earful. It seems everyone's battling misbehavior in kids – and often getting nowhere. Some difficulties pop up again and again, across all ages and stages.
We took the 10 most pervasive problems straight to the top and asked our panel of child discipline advisors how to unstick your sticky situations.
Note: All our experts give sound advice but sometimes suggest very different approaches. See which method rings true for you. You're sure to find a fresh strategy to get the results you want.
If he doesn't get his way, my 2-year-old James hits, scratches, pulls hair, and throws things at the object of his aggression, usually his 4-year-old brother Elijah, who's a great, easygoing, laid-back, and completely nonviolent child. James is a bully. If Elijah has something he wants, James just hits him until he hands it over. Sometimes he hurts Elijah for no reason at all.
Where we stand: Nothing works. We have a new baby, and we worry this pattern will continue.
Focus on the positive: You're right to give James a time-out after an aggressive episode. He's violating the number-one rule of family conflict – be safe – so you should separate him until he calms down.
But you need to get these good child-bad child distinctions out of your head because they'll affect how you parent, and James will live up to the labels you're putting on him.
Also, take a look at your own actions: Are you doing anything that might inflame his behavior?
You mention spanking. Spanking, disciplining with "angry" hands, and pulling a child away roughly convey the message that hitting is okay if you're bigger, stronger, or can't get cooperation any other way. Such physical punishment just reinforces the behavior you don't want.
Act on early clues: A 2-year-old doesn't intentionally hurt another child. James has low impulse control, and things will likely get worse now that the baby's here because he'll be more jealous and you'll have less time to supervise.
For your own sanity, have two of each toy on hand as much as possible. Also, designate a space each kid can retreat to if needed. Watch for clues that James is about to become aggressive, such as gritting his teeth, and remove him from the scene before he commits the crime.
You could also work with Elijah, the 4-year-old, who sounds like he could do with some assertiveness training. Role-play sharing and taking turns until James develops this skill.
Avoid victim-bully training: This is developmentally normal behavior for a 2-year-old: James wants what he wants when he wants it.
You make it sound calculated, but it's not. That doesn't mean it's acceptable. But to avoid victim-bully training (James gets labeled as the bully, and Elijah gets to feel "special" as the victim), you need to treat both children the same: If there's a fight over a toy, they both need to go to separate quarters to cool off.
You should also let James know that you understand his feelings – you know he's mad – but that you can't let him hurt Elijah or anyone else. Offer a way for him to express his anger safely, such as punching a pillow.
My 7-year-old, Alyssa, is bright, active, and has a tough time focusing. Getting dressed in the morning requires a dozen reminders to put her clothes on. Brushing teeth requires numerous redirections from other activities.
The same scene plays out trying to get out the door and getting ready for bed. I have to stay on her to get anything done. It usually does get done, but not without a tantrum or two.
Where we stand: It's really tiring to go through this routine over and over again. Help!
Think outside the box: Choose a quiet, loving time to brainstorm together about what you both could do to deal with the problem. It's easy to get locked into a routine, but there are choices here.
To make mornings go more smoothly, you could get up earlier or you could do a lot of prep the night before – lay her clothes out, get her toothbrush ready, and put her shoes, coat, and bag by the door.
Ask her for ideas: "What could we try differently to get you out the door on time without nagging and tantrums?"
Let a list do the talking: Put yourself in your daughter's shoes – she's doing the best she can. You may need to slow down the pace or factor in more time to get in sync with her. You're locked in a power struggle you're not going to win.
Have her put together a list of all the things she needs to get done to be ready for school. (A preschooler can accomplish the same thing with pictures or photos.) Then let her take responsibility.
The most you should say is: "Have you checked your list?"
Set a timer: Nagging simply teaches kids not to listen. Let natural consequences help you here.
You could set a kitchen timer, letting your child know she has a certain amount of time to get her chores done – make sure you allow enough time so your daughter doesn't have to rush through the morning routine.
This may require her to go to bed earlier or get up earlier. Then, when it's time to get out the door, if she's not dressed, she'll just have to put her clothes on in the car. She'll probably learn to get dressed fast after a few days.
My 8-year-old son, Zac, constantly weaves tall tales about himself. He tells his friends that he's a black belt in karate, when in reality he hasn't done martial arts since he was 5. Or he'll boast about what a cool guitar player he is, when in fact he's never had lessons.
I've even overheard him boasting to buddies about – of all things – how big his cousins are. I'm concerned he'll lose friends over this.
Where we stand: He continues to twist the truth, and I cringe when I hear it.
Empathize, don't criticize: It sounds like Zac has a low self-image. So instead of criticizing him for stretching the truth, try empathizing with him.
Say, "A black belt in karate. That's a great goal. Would you like to make that come true?"
Or, "A guitarist is a wonderful thing to want to be. How could we make that happen?"
Make a connection with your son before offering a correction to his behavior, and resist the urge to blame or shame, which will only make him feel worse.
Wait it out: It may take losing a friendship over boasting before he "gets it." It might be tough for you to hear, but some kids have to learn things the hard way.
My 3-year-old, Michael, is very defiant. He does things we specifically tell him not to do, like ramming a toy into the wall or throwing his favorite stuffy. If he doesn't get his way, whether it's being allowed to watch TV or getting a certain snack he wants, he throws a tantrum.
Where we stand: In the short term our approach works, but nothing I do gets through to him in the long term. I'm at my wits' end.
Make your expectations clear: Your strategies won't work in the long run if Michael doesn't know what to do differently.
Spell out your expectations calmly, firmly, and using as few words as possible: "Michael, you may not throw your stuffy." Offer a reasonable choice or compromise: "Would you like to throw a ball outside or play with your stuffy inside?"
If he's still resistant, state a consequence that's appropriate to the offense, like: "If you throw the stuffy again, I'll take it away." Follow through immediately every time so he sees the connection. No negotiations, pleading, or warnings.
Invite cooperation: You're lacking a long-term solution. Michael may stop for the moment, when he's made to pay for his misbehavior, then get even later by doing it again.
This is a chance for you to invite cooperation. Instead of becoming controlling or punitive, ask, "Would you like to try again?" Some assertive and independent kids need more training before they're able to cooperate – especially if they feel suffocated by parental demands.
Speak with empathy: Look for ways to solve the problem together. And speak to your son with empathy and respect.
Even as you set a limit, show him you understand how he feels: "I know how much you want that ice pop now, but I can't let you have it right before dinner. If you're hungry, why don't you start on your dinner, and we'll save the ice pop for dessert?"
Continue consoling and comforting him until he calms down, but don't give in and don't debate the issue.
My 6-year-old, Liam, hits people when he doesn't get his way.
When his friend wouldn't share a computer game, Liam squeezed his neck. Totally unprovoked, he pushed his 20-month-old sister off the couch. And he hits and kicks me after I turn off the TV.
He's big and strong for his age, and I'm worried he'll really hurt someone.
Where we stand: My husband thinks hitting is normal boy behavior that our son will outgrow. I don't. How can I get Liam to understand that hitting isn't appropriate?
Ditch the spanking: Spanking is not the answer here. Physical punishment is better for relieving a parent's anger than discouraging a child's bad behavior.
You're right, though, to isolate Liam in a time-out for safety and so that everyone can cool down. After a time-out, talk with him about what he might do in the future instead of acting out.
Put it into words: When kids don't get their way, they feel provoked. You need to teach him how to express anger properly.
When he looks like he might lash out, hold his hands so he can't hit and help him put his feelings into words: "Can I have a turn please?"
Praise him for expressing himself correctly, then help him work out the situation. When he's no longer upset, praise him for having settled down.
Help him find a better way: Liam is crying out for an appropriate outlet for his frustration and anger. Find a quiet, calm, uninterrupted time with him and his father to set a zero-tolerance policy about hitting.
It's important for parents to present a united front. Liam is also old enough to hear about potential consequences: Someone could get hurt, he could be suspended, he could get a bad reputation, or he could lose friends.
Help him find ways to express his strong feelings: He could pound clay, hit a pillow, punch a punching bag, use an "I" statement ("I want that toy back"), say what he's feeling ("I'm mad that you took my toy"), find a place to calm down, or leave the scene.
Help him choose an approach and rehearse it together – again and again – until he learns it. At the first sign of trouble, identify your son's feelings and remind him what he can do to manage them. "Looks like you're really angry. Do you want to go outside to run it off?"
My 3-year-old, Miller, an only child, is utterly impatient when my husband or I are on the phone. He does whatever he can, using his voice or playing with noisy toys, to interrupt our conversation. We're not phone chatterers: I'm talking about short, functional calls like scheduling doctors' appointments.
Where we stand: We seem to be making very little progress.
Leave the room: Kudos for your repertoire of positive discipline techniques. But this sounds like a case where words are failing to convince and it's time to take action.
I'd recommend that you create physical separation during phone calls – go into another room for a call while Miller is occupied with something. Tell him you'll join him just as soon as you're done. He may fuss a little at first, but he will learn to develop tolerance for these brief separations.
Only children often don't want to compete for their parents' attention, but your child needs to learn about delayed gratification. Delay is not denial – it's just delay.
Help him learn to wait: You're working hard at this, but it sounds like you might be trying too many things and not sticking with any of them long enough to see if they work. It takes several weeks for a child to learn a new behavior, and often things get a little worse before they get better.
What you're really dealing with is an impatient child. You can help Miller learn to wait by acknowledging his presence – with actions, not words – gently patting his back, giving a hug, or signaling with a finger "one more minute."
Very young kids have a limited concept of time, so try giving him a little hourglass or an oven timer to hold to help get the message across that he needs to wait. Give him something to do while you're on the phone, then praise the heck out of him when he demonstrates good self-control. Consistency is key.
Create a special box: This is very normal 3-year-old behavior. I'd skip all the explaining: Instead, create a special box that only comes out during phone calls and fill it with fun things Miller helps choose.
If this distraction fails to do the trick, take your phone into the bathroom and shut the door, and just let your child have his feelings. You don't need to rescue him if he's upset.
Help him figure out how to soothe himself by saying: "Where's your phone box?" Or "What do you need to do when I'm on the phone?" That gets your son involved in solving the problem.
My 5-year-old, Jackson, can be a real charmer, but he has a mouth that's out of control. He calls us names, talks back, and gives us attitude when we try to discipline him or ask him to stop. And it's not just at home: He's been known to tell his teacher that a game is "ridiculous."
I bagged up every toy he had when he wouldn't clean up – and he never asked for them back. We joke he'll be a lawyer, evangelist, or politician, but honestly, he needs to learn boundaries and respect.
Where we stand: Nothing truly works for very long. I'm at a loss with him and scared about what the future holds.
Label the behavior: Whenever anything disrespectful comes out of Jackson's mouth, call it on the spot: "You may not call me names. That is unacceptable."
Remain calm and neutral in your voice and body language – no sighing or eye-rolling – and refuse to engage in conversation until he stops talking back.
Say something like, "Stop. Telling me I'm stupid is disrespectful. We can talk when you're able to speak nicely."
If the sass continues, set a clear consequence that relates directly to the child's rudeness and don't back down! One consequence could be repeating a more appropriate response in a respectful tone ten times.
You mention he can be charming, so be sure to encourage him whenever he communicates nicely: "Jackson, thank you for speaking in such a pleasant and polite way."
Resist the bait: All the approaches you mention are punitive. That's going to make Jackson angry and resentful, and he'll want to get back at you with more rude comebacks.
Instead, try logical consequences and avoid taking the bait.
For example, matter-of-factly tell Jackson, "It's your job to put away your toys. You can do it now or spend a few minutes in your room getting ready to do it. What would you like to do?"
If he sasses back, avoid the attitude and power struggle, and simply send him off to his room with a timer in tow, inviting him back when the timer goes off. If he tests your limit again, repeat this process until he understands that you're setting a boundary that doesn't budge.
Try asking instead: Some children fight back if they feel adults are trying to control them, make demands, or give orders. Try asking instead of telling: "Where do your toys go when you've finished playing?"
You might also try first focusing on Jackson's feelings, rather than the disrespect, by saying something like: "You're obviously angry now. I know it upsets me when you talk that way. Let's talk later when you feel better. I'd like to hear what you're frustrated about."
After tempers have cooled, you can try to solve the problem together: "Can you think of a better way to say what you feel?"
Humor may help: "I must have heard that wrong. I think you were meaning to say, 'Mom, would you please pick up my toys because I feel too lazy to do it myself right now!'"
My son, Parker, who's almost 3, seems to have selective hearing. If I tell him it's time to leave the park, he runs away and just keeps doing what he's doing and avoids me. When I'm unlocking the car or putting his younger brother in the car seat, he just bolts, even though I've told him to stay close to me. I can tell him to pick up his toys repeatedly, and it falls on deaf ears. But if I say "candy," I get an immediate response.
Where we stand: I feel overwhelmed and frustrated.
Put him in charge: Your son sounds pretty willful, and willful kids don't respond well to negative consequences – they just make them angry. Instead, set up a chart with rewards for good behavior. This sends the message that your child is in control of his life and that his choices come with consequences.
Pick your battles: One simple fix for the struggles at the car: Put him in his seat before his little brother. That's a safety thing, and he doesn't get any choices.
Beyond that, you'll need to pick your battles – choose the thing that matters most to you to work on first, like cleaning up his toys. In a kind but firm voice, let him know what you expect and that you mean business. Realize that he may not be ready to pack his toys up the minute you tell him to, so give him some warning so he can get used to the idea.
Solicit cooperation: You don't teach a child about safety by spanking. Put him in his car seat first and then let him have his feelings.
On the chore front, invite his cooperation – no one responds well to demands or feeling controlled. Say, "What do you need to do before dinner? Can you do it yourself or do you need my help? You decide."
I have twin 3-year-old daughters. Alexa toes the line, and Isabella is the rule breaker.
She couldn't care less about being punished. If I take her beloved princess clothes away for, say, jumping on the furniture, she'll bring me the wand and say, "Mommy, you forgot this."
If she accidentally spills food on the floor and I ask her to clean it up, she says, "No, you do it." I tell her I'll help her but that she won't get ice cream if she doesn't clean it up. She doesn't, misses out on ice cream, cries, and soon it's all forgotten.
Where we stand: I don't feel like any punishment sinks in, and it drives me nuts.
Teach her to give as well as get: As you've discovered, taking things from Isabella just empowers her. Kids need to learn how to be a part of a family, and you need to teach Isabella that you'll do certain things for her, and in return she'll do certain things for you.
Instead of depriving her of ice cream, say, "Absolutely yes, you can have some. But here's what I need from you first."
There should be no automatic giving with a child like this. If she wants something, she needs to do something first.
Connect, then correct: You need to eliminate from your mind the labels you've put on your twins – or they will live up to them. Isabella may be seeking revenge because she may not feel as loved as her sister.
Make a connection before offering a correction. Next time Isabella spills food, give a quick hug, and then say, "Oops! I know it was an accident. What do you need to do to clean it up?"
You might be surprised how much more effective it is to ask her what she needs to do than to tell her what to do. Telling invites rebellion. Asking often invites thinking and cooperation.
Pour on the love: It may be time to do some relationship building with Isabella. Whenever she does something correctly, be sure to point it out and praise her. Let her know that she's loved and you're grateful for her.
Most kids really want to please their parents. Some just give up because they feel constantly criticized. Isabella needs to hear that she does things you like and appreciate.
My 5-year-old, A.J., has been a whiner for as long as I can remember. It seems to get worse right before a major developmental milestone, like learning to read, but he does it whenever he's upset or frustrated. He cries, he clings, and he speaks in this high-pitched way we can't understand.
Where we stand: We can get him to stop in the short term, but he always does it again. His whining drives my husband insane, and the sound of it makes me want to crawl up the wall.
Ignore a whiner: A child whines to get attention – and a child who whines repeatedly has probably learned that this irritating behavior makes his parents give in. So don't give in!
Just flat out refuse to listen when your child starts using his high-pitched voice. At the first whimper simply say, "Stop! I don't listen to whining. Tell me what you want in your regular voice."
Ignore your child if he continues. The trick is not to react to his performance.
Make whining a time-out offense: At the first sound of fussing, moaning, badgering, or nagging, say, "If you continue to whine, you'll need to spend some time in your room until you're ready to speak normally."
If he doesn't comply immediately, lead him to his room and set the timer so he gets the message. The key here is to follow through consistently.
Pick a signal: It sounds like you have a good idea of what sparks your son's whining – frustration and reaching milestones. It may help to offer him some extra TLC during those times.
At the first sound of whining, you could take your son into your lap and give him a big hug – without saying anything at all about the whining – until you both feel better.
Then, during a happy, nonwhining moment, work together to come up with a signal you'll give your son when you hear him start to whine. It could be a gentle tug on your ear, or you could put your fingers in your ears and smile – humor can help – to remind your child that you only listen to his normal voice. This works best if your child chooses the signal.

The Russian military also said that US strategic aviation has stepped up activities near Russian territory in the Baltics. The strategic aircraft have flown over the Baltic Sea seven times in just over a week, the ministry's statement said.
Moscow has expressed regret over Washington's actions. These flights do not contribute to the strengthening of an atmosphere of peace and security near the Russian border, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.


9Now at that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10And immediately on coming out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the SPIRIT descending upon him, like as it were a dove.
11And a voice from Heaven, said, "Thou are My dearly beloved Son, in whom I delight!"
12And at once he was impelled by the SPIRIT to go into the desert.
13And he remained there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by the adversary, and among the wild beasts; and angels ministered unto him.
1In original being the Word, or GOD-Idea existed; and the GOD-Idea existed in at-one-ment with GOD; and the GOD-Idea was GOD-manifest.
2The same existed in original being, at-one with GOD.
3All things came into being in this GOD-conception, and apart from it came not anything into being that came into being.
4In the GOD-Idea Life, GOD, was manifest, and Life, GOD was the Light of men.
5And the Light shineth in darkness; but the darkness comprehendeth it not.
1Moreover, brethren, let me remind you of the Glad Tidings which I proclaimed to you, which ye have received, and in which ye have stood.
2through which also ye are being saved,if ye keep in mind what I proclaimed to you,-unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
5and that he was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelve apostles.
6After that he was seen by about five hundren brethren at one time; of whom the greater number are still living, but some have fallen asleep.


Caring at a Distance : A Model of Business Care, Trust and Displaced Responsibility. / Eger, Claudia; Scarles, Caroline; Miller, Graham.
In: Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Vol. 27, No. 1, 01.2019, p. 34-51.
N2 - This paper advances an ethic of care for sustainable tourism. The study develops an original business care model that captures the dynamic interrelationships between care, responsibility and trust in corporate philanthropy. The model provides a novel perspective on how responsible business practices are formed across distance by shedding light on the different layers of responsibility and trust that characterize business–stakeholder relationships. The model is evaluated using the example of tour operators' engagement in the Education for All project in Morocco. Findings show that tour operators' commitment to caring at a distance becomes part of shared, displaced and performed articulations of responsibility. While performed responsibility acknowledges the embodiment of care, displaced responsibility shifts the responsibility to select, perform and/or oversee acts of care to stakeholders in destinations. Shared responsibility requires attention to the ways in which meanings and practices of care are co-constructed in corporate philanthropy with trust functioning as a central driver of these processes.

James Bond – Every Film Ranked
Posted bymatthasanopinion 11th Jul 2021 11th Jul 2021 Posted inUncategorizedTags:007, Action, Adele, Billie Eilish, Blofeld, Bond, Casino Royale, Daniel Craig, Films, From Russia With Love, GoldenEye, Goldfinger, James Bond, License To Kill, Live and Let Die, No Time To Die, Piers Brosnan, Ranked, Reviewed, Sean Connery, Skyfall, Spectre, Spy, The Spy Who Loved Me, Thriller, You Only Live Twice
Let's be honest, every guy who's seen James Bond has wanted to be him – he just seems like the coolest guy ever, and he's been in some of the most suave and action-packed films ever. They haven't all been zingers, though, so how would I rank them all?
N.B. If you're reading this in the future, "No Time To Die" hasn't come out yet so you won't see that in this list.
You can check out some of my other lists below:
Harry Potter – All 10 Films Ranked (Including Fantastic Beasts)
MCU Films Ranked
All Six Middle Earth Films Ranked – Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit
Every Star Wars Movie Ranked
Indiana Jones Films Ranked
Jurassic Park Films Ranked
Every Film I Saw In 2019 – Ranked
24 – Die Another Day
The only "bad" film in the franchise, but to be fair there are still some fun moments of non-sensical spy shenanigans.
It doesn't help that the story is lacking, Madonna's theme song is the worst of the bunch, and Brosnan riding that wave might be the worst moment of the franchise.
23 – Diamonds Are Forever
I'd consider every film beyond this point to be a fairly fun time, but "Diamonds Are Forever" is definitely a weak film.
Connery comes back to the role, but he really should have just left it alone. The villains are some of the weakest of the franchise, and other than the car stunt that sees it drive on two wheels (they even got the continuity wrong for that, watch the clip back and you'll see the car flips sides!), there isn't much I can remember from this.
22 – Dr. No
It almost feels like heresy to claim the first film in the franchise – the iconic film that set the standard for all the future films in the franchise – is only a "Meh" tier film.
I guess it's still an "OK" film objectively, but it's far from what I want from a Bond film, and it's quite boring in retrospect. Later films in the franchise would improve on this one in every way, but you have to start somewhere.
21 – Moonraker
The franchise tried to capitalise on the Star Wars mania of the late 70s, and what we got was a silly, unrealistic mess of a movie.
There are some dumb moments in this, but the worst part has to be this film's treatment of an iconic villain like Jaws – why did he even come back in the first place?!?
20 – A View To A Kill
This should have been a great movie – Christopher Walken was a great high-profile actor to have as the baddie, and he killed it in the role – but the problem with this film is that Roger Moore has overstayed his welcome.
He's just too old to play the role of Bond, and the scenes where he has to seduce the young co-stars are just too awkward and uncomfortable. I'm glad this was his last outing as the famous spy, but "A View To A Kill" tarnished his legacy a little.
19 – The Living Daylights
Timothy Dalton's first outing as 007 wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't exactly the most scintillating addition to the Bond series. At least the theme song by A-Ha is pretty good, but the rest is completely forgettable.
18 – Octopussy
Roger Moore's final few outings as Bond yielded diminishing returns, and there are some really silly moments in this. Some of the plane stunts were cool, but the general circus and Eastern stereotypes let it down.
17 -Tomorrow Never Dies
Riding high after "Goldeneye", this film was a bit of a disappointment. It didn't even come close to capturing what made its predecessor so good, and what we got was an extremely forgettable media-mogul takeover story. I have to mention the carpark sequence though, that was amazing.
16 – Quantum of Solace
I feel like Quantum of Solace gets too much hate – it's definitely the worst of the Craig Bond films, but it still has some good moments. It's a shame they tried to capitalise on the Bourne film technique of too many camera cuts, and that almost ruins some of the action scenes.
15 – The World Is Not Enough
On a slightly off-topic note, those have to be two of the hottest Bond girls ever.
Alright, back to the film. This is a decent outing from the famous spy, but all of Brosnan's Bond films since "Goldeneye" just felt like an old married couple trying and failing to rekindle the love you felt in the first place.
14 – On Her Majesty's Secret Service
It's easy to hate the Black Sheep of the franchise, but I thought it was pretty decent. Lazenby does an alright job in Connery's absence, and that final scene is a gut-wrencher that I'll never forget.
13 – Live and Let Die
Roger Moore's first outing as the famous spy was certainly a memorable one, though I feel he was only just beginning to hit his stride. The crocodile scene is the stand-out for me, although it is slightly far-fetched (but that's why we love this series so much!).
12 – Thunderball
Coming after Goldfinger was always going to be tough, but Thunderball still managed to make a lotta dough at the box office. I quite like the silliness of this one, from the general underwater premise to the ridiculous gadgets like the jetpack.
11 – Spectre
This film got a lot of slack on its release, but it is nowhere as near as underwhelming as Quantum of Solace. If anything, Spectre is a little bit disappointing as a follow-up to the exceptional Skyfall, and it will be interesting to see how "No Time To Die" continues the story.
10 – The Man With The Golden Gun
Christopher Lee is always a compelling movie baddie, and the sequences involving the titular Golden Gun are intense (and the Golden Gun made for an excellent videogame weapon).
9 – For Your Eyes Only
The opening with Blofeld is a bit naff, but otherwise this is quite an underrated Bond outing. The ski and car chases are camp and silly, but they make for entertaining viewing.
8 – You Only Live Twice
I found out the other day that apparently Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay for this? How did that happen?!?
The racial stereotypes are a little dated (or a lot dated), but I can look past that when the movie itself is awesome. The stuff with the helicopter is fantastic, and the final battle in the bunker is definitely one of the best Bond showdowns in the franchise.
7 – License To Kill
Garnering a "15" age rating for the first time, I'm not surprised this film didn't go down well with audiences. It's gritty, real, and hard to watch at times.
I love everything about this movie, from Dalton's commanding performance to the awesome truck chase to cap it all off.
6 – From Russia With Love
The follow-up to Dr No, and I felt this was the moment that the James Bond franchise was truly born.
The story itself is leagues above the first, and I was genuinely intrigued to see where the plot would go. The train sequence at the end is definitely the stand-out, and overall this is probably the most underrated film in the series.
5 – The Spy Who Loved Me
Roger Moore's spotlight moment as the iconic spy came in "The Spy Who Loved Me", and this is 70s Bond at its best.
The gadgets are iconic, the Bond Girl is one of the greatest (and married to Ringo Starr now, which is kinda funny), and Jaws is one of cinema's great henchmen. It's a shame Moore had so many dud films, as movies like this are why he's held is such high regard by most fans.
4 – Skyfall
Now we get onto the best of the best, the films that have gone down in history as not only some of the best Bond films, but some of the greatest action / thriller / spy movies of all time.
Skyfall had a tough job on its hands – "Quantum of Solace" was a bit of a let down critically, and 2012 lined up with the 50th anniversary of the franchise, so this film had to both rescue a franchise whilst celebrating its history.
What we got was a completely iconic film from start to finish, with exotic locations, beautiful Bond Girls, and arguably the most intimidating Bond Villain of the lot. This was a huge improvement from Quantum Of Solace, and proof that Craig's Bond was – and still is – one of the best.
3 – GoldenEye
Other than spawning one of the greatest and most beloved games of the era, "GoldenEye" did a perfect job reviving a semi-dead franchise and shot Bond back into superstardom worldwide.
Sean Bean does an excellent job of playing the villain and then dying, Brosnan brings together all of the best aspects of the previous Bonds, and the action and stakes are at an all-time high. One of the best action films of the 90s, and a great way to reboot the series.
2 – Goldfinger
I think if we were talking pure, objective Bond goodness, "Goldfinger" has to come out on top. It has everything: an iconic villain and henchman, amazing gadgets, the most famous Bond Girl, and a show-stopping finale at Fort Knox that blew my Fort Sox off.
This is also the Bond film with the most memorable scene in the franchise, and one of the most iconic in film history – Bond tied up to a table, laser about to cut him in half, Goldfinger saying "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to diiieee" – what's not to love?
As I said, any normal person would objectively put this in the top spot, but I think there's one other film in the franchise that I love just a little bit more …
1 – Casino Royale
If I had to pick a favourite, however controversial and blasphemous as it may be, I would have to choose "Casino Royale". Sure, it's not as solid as "Goldfinger", but it's damn close.
I'm a simple man, so if an action film has a heap of crazy visuals and epic showdowns, it'll always be more memorable to me. There are loads of moments in this that have become some of my favourite movie scenes over the years, from the jaw-dropping parkour opening to the tense and thrilling Le Chiffre confrontations (Mads Mikkelsen, what an actor!).
Craig is easily my favourite Bond, and "Casino Royale" doesn't have any competition as far as I'm concerned for greatest Bond outing of them all.
Aaand that's my list. I've just hit 10,000 total views on my posts, so thanks a bunch for taking time out of your day to read these! It really means a lot, and it's kinda daunting knowing this silly little side-hobby of mine is garnering a fair bit of views – but I won't let the fame get to me!

A cheque for £1,036.63 was presented to Jo Burkimsher, an Association Visitor, on behalf of the Northamptonshire Branch on Monday 19 May. Association Visitors are volunteers who support local people with motor neurone disease (MND) by visiting them in their homes and making regular contact via phone or email.
MND is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.
The disease is, currently, incurable. The Northampton-based MND Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on MND care, research and campaigning.

Having your child involved with the gift shopping and present wrapping will provide an endless amount of language, cognitive, fine motor and creative learning opportunities this holiday season. This is a huge Theory of Mind skill…..understanding that giving a gift to a person will make them feel loved and happy, which in turn will help your child create a meaningful relationship with the person. My action affects how another person perceives me. Also, understanding that other people may want different things as gifts (Daddy probably doesn't want princesses for Christmas……what kinds of things might Daddy like?) is another important Theory of Mind skill…….different people like different things than I do and giving them those things as presents will make them happy…..thinking about what other people want and what other people like. Here are a few fun ways to help your child make progress towards increasing their Theory of Mind skills over the holidays.
First of all, your child needs the language to be able to ask their family members what they want for Christmas. Try using a visual and practicing beforehand. Below is an example question strip you can use. Point to the pictures and model the language to help your child. Your child can ask their family member or friend in person or you can help them call them on the phone.
Having a shopping list prepared before you go to the store will help your child know what the goal of the shopping trip is. This will set them up to succeed as they will be aware of the expectations. Make the list as visual as possible. This might be in picture form or in a written/picture form combination. When the person tells your child what they want for Christmas, help them write down the person's name and then write down what they want. Ideally add photos of the person to their name on the list to help with Theory of Mind comprehension even more. You can also draw stick figures of the item they would like or print off photos from the internet. Take this list with you when you go shopping so your child knows exactly what you are shopping for (not toys for your child, but things for others). Make it fun when you are shopping so your child does not focus on only things they want. Sing the "Where Song"….."where is a watch for Daddy….where is a watch for Daddy….in the jewelry section…….in the jewelry section….gold watches, silver watches, lots of different watches!" You can even treat the shopping trip like a scavenger hunt. Your child can help you pick out the presents once you find them in the store. Don't forget to check the item off the list when you find it!
Try having your child make their own wrapping paper! You can use butcher paper or you can cut open a paper bag and let your child paint, color and decorate with your help. Focus on choosing colors, designs and pictures that your child's family members like. Then help your child wrap the presents.
Your child needs the language to be able to give their gifts. Below are some visual examples of language to work on. Point to the pictures as you model the language. Practice beforehand…..you can even practice with stuffed animals and dolls within pretend play…..this will be a fun pressure-free way to work on the language.
When it is finally time to open your child's gifts, be sure to focus on expressing to them how it makes you feel……one of the keys to Theory of Mind.
Mother's Day is approaching! Not only does Mother's Day give us opportunities to show Mom how much she means to us, but it also gives our children fun learning opportunities. For children with autism, language and social challenges, it can be difficult to understand and express Mother's Day concepts. We want to share a fun flower craft that will help your child show Mom they care, understand Mom a little more and increase many other language and fine motor skills.
First we will walk you through all the steps to create the craft and then we will give you lots of ideas on social language skills you can work on with your child.


Girls for God: What's in My Suitcase?
Tomorrow after church, I will be huddled into a compact car with an array of loud family members, heading out-of-state for a vacation in the mountains. (There are mountains in Oklahoma? Who knew?) I thought I'd give you a glimpse into what I'm bringing along to keep me occupied while I chill in a hot tub in my new swimsuit. (Such a chore, I know.) Wondering what to pack for your trip? Check out my top tips.
Cool! Well I hope you totally enjoy your vacation! I am also heading off in 8 days for a 5-day camp, by myself, with nooo family. It won't come fast enough! I like all your make-up products and stuff, even though I don't know what half of them are (I am 13, so I don't wear anything but lip gloss. It works though.), but they are cool looking! Oh and I love princesses! Especially Anastasia ;) Loving the Ipod touch case! Oh and, you might want to bring some ear plugs. Loud family members, my expertise'. Have fun!!
I hope you have a good time on your trip!
I just cranked up my iPod, curled up with my Dora Pillow Pet, and fell asleep the whole car ride, all whilst my siblings were screaming and kicking. Haha. Yay! Princesses are the best. And actually, it's a coin purse/id case from Vera Bradley. I love it. Have fun at camp!
Ha! Well I imagine that saved you a lot of chaos! Pillow pets are awesome! I have a mini purple hippo, and a big dolphin! I love the purse! Thank you, I will!
