These delicious pancakes are super easy to make. Lucuma adds a naturally sweet maple flavor and is packed with antioxidants' minerals and vitamins.
Whisk the egg in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the buckwheat flour, Acai Powder, Lucuma, Coconut Palm Sugar, water, vanilla, baking powder and salt, and stir until well combined.
Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a cast iron griddle or heavy skillet.
Brush it over the surface when it melts. Ladle batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2 minutes until the tops are bubbly and edges appear dry.
Flip over pancakes and cook for about a minute until the bottoms are brown.


Okay, 90% of the work is done. Now it\'s down to testing it on multiple platforms and browsers to see how it fares. I\'m going to download a new Opera and an old Netscape to see how it all holds together. I\'ve got a bad feeling about these fonts though. So message below, tell us of how the theme works on your screen. (Updated Fri Sep 14) Just added a bunch of buttons, including a variation on Niri\'s powered button. Thoughts? I\'ve used some PNG files in the site, which will be going very soon ... to be replaced with GIF\'s. Also, if you can email me any screenshots of your browser on the geeklog site, that would be very very useful in helping diagnose any issues with the theme.
Mark, site is looking really excellent, very fresh.
I have tested it on IE6, Netscape 6.1 and Mozilla 0.9.3 under WinME and I have noticed no errors.
Okay Mac and Linux guys .. step up and add your 2cents worth. I suspect the quicksearch form element is NOT going to work with older Netscape/Linux browsers.
There is a possible problem with the html code for block boxes .. will check them out a bit.
However, I think this is due to OmniWeb problems m ore than HTML problems on the site.
BTW, there appear to be some lingering bugs with the HTML changes in comment blocks. It's inserting spaces and hard returns at the end of the input lines, from what it appears when you 'preview' a comment. Not sure if this happens in all browsers or not, but I couldn't wrap a paragraph tag over the input line break - Geeklog inserted a space between the angle bracket and the "p"; I had to put it on a new line to make it work. -rob.

thoughts about learning…and other matters
Dorchester/Boston
Home › Books › Babel
By ljd42 on June 14, 2019 • ( 1 )
Read and enjoy this book!
Don't argue: just do it. You'll learn a lot and will have fun along the way.
As the subtitle to Babel — Around the World in Twenty Languages — suggests, Dutch linguist Gaston Dorren takes us on a journey through the 20 most widely spoken languages in the world. Those are, in ascending order of number of speakers, Vietnamese, Korean, Tamil, Turkish, Javanese, Persian, Punjabi, Japanese, Swahili, German, French, Malay, Russian, Portuguese, Bengali, Arabic, Hindi-Urdu, Spanish, Mandarin, and English. You may surprised by which languages are on the list — how many of these could you have identified as being in the top 20? — and you may be surprised by the choice of names of some of these languages, at least the ones I've shown in red: why does the author say Javanese, which sounds wrong to most Americans, and Persian instead of Farsi, and Malay instead of Indonesian, and Hindi-Urdu as if it's a single language, and Mandarin instead of Chinese? Perhaps you already know the answers. If not, read the book. (I'll answer those questions below, however.)
Babel is definitely written for the non-linguist, but Dorren sneaks in a good deal of linguistics along the way, so you're not only getting a picture of each language but also gaining knowledge of various linguistic concepts as they happen to be illustrated by the particular languages. Even as a linguist I learned a lot from Babel — not the general concepts but a great many specifics about the languages in question. Although I already knew quite a bit about eight of them (Turkish, Japanese, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Mandarin, and of course English), Dorren still taught me important lessons even about those eight, and of course he taught me a lot about the other twelve. BTW, although I say that "I already knew quite a bit about" those eight, it certainly doesn't mean that I could speak all eight: I couldn't carry on any conversations — even the most rudimentary — in Turkish, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, or Mandarin, although I have a good deal of knowledge about the structures of those languages, ranging from the syntax to the phonology to a tiny bit of vocabulary. Bottom line is that no matter where you're starting, you'll learn.
I promised above that I would answer these questions:
Why does the author say Javanese, which sounds wrong to most Americans, and Persian instead of Farsi, and Malay instead of Indonesian, and Hindi-Urdu as if it's a single language, and Mandarin instead of Chinese?
So here are the answers:
Javanese — not a typo for Japanese! — is the indigenous language spoken by 95 million people on Java, which is not only the most populous island of Indonesia but the most populous island in the world! And yet most of us Americans know nothing at all about it except for a vague sense that coffee comes from there,
Why Persian instead of Farsi? The slightly oversimplified answer is that it's the same as why we say Spanish instead of Español, German instead of Deutsch, and French instead of Français: we're speaking or writing English, not those other languages!
What's with Malay, which very very few Americans have ever heard of? And yet it's spoken by 275 million people and is the ninth most spoken language in the world! The answer is that Indonesian is really Malay, but for political reason it gets a separate name (like Dutch vs. Flemish or Portuguese vs. Galician). For a variety of reasons that you can read about in detail in Dorren's book, the Indonesian independence movement in 1947 decided to pick the clean and simple Malay as their national language rather than Dutch (the language of the colonialist oppressors) or Javanese (the extremely difficult language of the largest island).
And aren't Hindi and Urdu really two separate languages? After all, Hindi is written in the Devanagari alphabet and Urdu in Arabic alphabet, aren't they? Well, yes and no. Urdu's script isn't precisely Arabic, but more importantly a language is speech, not writing, as Dorren points out in several places in Babel. Writing is merely a representation of speech, and you can represent speech in many different writing systems without changing the language one whit. The fact is that Hindi and Urdu are just two dialects of the same language, which we called Hindustani when I was a kid. For purely political and religious reasons we now have the pretense of two separate languages with separate names, but they're not really separate languages.
Conversely, there is a widespread myth that many different Chinese languages are just dialects of the same language. Dorren explains clearly why we need to say Mandarin rather than simply Chinese; it's exactly the same point as Hindi-Urdu, just in reverse.
I do need to point that Dorren does not write stuffy technical prose. Babel is definitely meant to be read by the general reader, and you will be engaged and amused throughout. Of course there are readers who disagree with me, some with valid points and some with dubious ones, so I'm going to devote tomorrow's post to a discussion of reader reviews on Amazon. Stay tuned.

5 sustainable architecture projects that show what the future of eco-homes looks like
We've rounded up a cross-section of sustainable architecture projects that offer unique and interesting insights into recent sustainable architecture work
(Image credit: Photographer: Jim Stephenson Architect: VATRAA Architecture)
By Rory Robertson
From the food we buy to the way we heat our homes, we are all more interested in choosing options that are more sustainable. And that want and, let's be honest, need to be kinder to our planet has seeped into the world of architecture too, with sustainable architecture projects becoming more and more common. There are so many preconceptions about what it means to build an eco-friendly home, but as all these innovative projects prove, sustainable architecture can both look good and do good.
So if you want to take sustainable living to the next level, and be more eco-conscious in your projects (or just want to peruse some beautiful inspiring projects) we've rounded up a cross-section of residential, hospitality, and civic architecture projects that offer unique and interesting insights into recent sustainable architecture world.
1. The Circular House by A-Zero Architects
(Image credit: Photography: Agnese Sanvito Architect: A Zero Architecture)
A residential extension project with a difference, A-Zero Architects (opens in new tab) worked with client Lulu Cox to transform this pre-existing terraced house into a space that captures a core use of repurposed sustainable materials with a sleek level of finesse. This is reused at its best.
'The clients for this project wanted to prioritize reused materials throughout, and they actively chose materials which have a story to tell. The existing property, though extremely dilapidated, was essentially solid enough, so we decided to focus our attention on extending the property using recycled materials where possible', say A-Zero Architects.
(Image credit: Photographer: Agnese Sanvito Architect: A-Zero Architecture )
However, this significant approach to sustainable architecture, and by approach, we refer to the practice of reuse and repurposing, has been curated with such attention to detail and honest sleekness that it prevails as one of the best examples we have seen to date.
You needn't necessarily see the recycled elements. For example, scaffolding boards have been repurposed in a ground floor kitchen extension to the rear of the property creating an open plan kitchen-dining room which, thanks to glazing, gives an open outlook onto the rear garden space. The boards, which are neatly and methodically spaced to create the ceiling structure, have an additional skylight window spaced in-between them in the roof, creating a lightwell for the kitchen diner below.
Owner of Circular House Lulu Cox says, 'Our approach was to be as resourceful as possible when renovating our house. We wanted to live in a building where every item or feature has a story behind it. For example, our Iroko kitchen countertops came from a school science lab: graffiti and Bunsen burner marks remain, showing its history.'
'Reclaimed scaffold boards were used to create the framework of our kitchen. They are a key visual element that not only helped form the style of our kitchen but by keeping them exposed we maximized the ceiling height. The space is functional, which is fundamental for a small property. The patina from salvaged materials such as the pine floorboards and a Parisian Globe street light creates character. It is a fun, warm, and relaxing space to be in, once the garden is complete with a wildflower lawn our love for nature & natural materials will be complete,' says Cox.
'We found our architects (A Zero) through The Modern House, they were local and shared our vision for sustainable design.'
2. Winter Park Library and Events Centre by Adjaye Associates

Jumping into a much larger scale of sustainable civic architecture, Adjaye Associates (opens in new tab) (led by Sir David Adjaye) undertook this ground-breaking civic building project in Orlando. We've never seen such a chic and sustainable library until now that is. The budget? An eye-watering $41.7 million dollars, but it shows.
(Image credit: Photographer: Chad Baumer Architect: Adjaye Associates)
Underpinning the significance of this multimillion-dollar project, Sabrina Bernat, the executive director of Winter Park Library, tells us, 'Thanks to the tremendous effort of visionaries and experts across multiple disciplines and fields, we are grateful that our dream, of education for all, has finally become a reality.' Sabrina explains, 'The doors have opened to a world of opportunity for our residents to seek new knowledge and experiences. It's a once-in-a-generation project, creating a dynamic learning environment through amazing enhanced indoor and outdoor spaces.'
David Adjaye is the founder of the Accra, London, and New York-based architecture practice Adjaye Associates. He is responsible for a wide variety of contemporary architectural projects. Notably, he refurbished and gave the Mole House in North London a new lease of life. Adjaye Associates are currently also undertaking projects including the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in London, and the National Cathedral of Ghana in Accra, amongst a smorgasbord of other projects too.
(Image credit: Photographer: Dror Baldinger Architect: Adjaye Associates )
Of this latest civic library and events center project in Orlando Adjaye describes the development, 'As a centerpiece of the revitalized Martin Luther King Jr. Park, the new campus is designed as a robust space for community gathering, edification, and empowerment.'
'Arches, inspired by local fauna and the region's vernacular architecture, establish the form of the pavilions, with vaulted rooflines and sweeping windows creating a porous relationship between interior and exterior, drawing natural light deep into the buildings', says Adjaye. 'The library's open-plan supports collection spaces accessible to all ages and abilities. These open spaces are framed by four timber-lined cores that contain Winter Park's historical and archival collection spaces.'
(Image credit: Photographer: Dror Baldinger Architect: Adjaye Associates)
What are the main sustainable elements of note of the Winter Park Library and Events Centre? For starters, all three of the structures (the library, events, and the welcome portico structure) are guided, Adjaye Associates says, 'by biophilic design principle'. Constructed out of rose-pigmented concrete, the structures are positioned on a raised belvedere that provides views onto Lake Mendsen, this, Adjaye Associates say, 'increasing connectivity to the park's wellness offerings and supporting a new network of exterior green community spaces that run between the three structures.'
Also, we should mention those amazing staircase ideas – a standout feature of the project!
3. Clapham Common Art Gallery, by Common Ground Workshop
(Image credit: Common Ground Workshop)
Common Ground Workshop (opens in new tab) is a London-based architecture practice with a unique vision. It's all about the collaborative process; Their emphasis is on putting clients, end-users, communities, and industry professionals at the heart of everything they do. On one of their latest Sustainable Architecture projects, Common Ground Workshop director Jack Pannell says, 'We recently completed this private art gallery and working studios for a local artist in Clapham, South West London. The project involved retrofitting and carefully modifying a historical printing warehouse to the rear of the residential property, which is set within a south-facing garden.'
Pannell explains, 'At the heart of the project's conservation philosophy is a focus on sustainability. Materials salvaged from minor demolitions and alterations have been reintroduced to the new build elements. Light levels have been greatly enhanced within the arts space, with 90% of the south-facing façade opened up and replaced with large pivot doors: to prevent excessive heat gain the structural lintel introduced over the doors to support the masonry wall above has been extruded to act as a solar shade.'
And there have been more sustainable build elements worked into the project, too, as Pannell explains, 'underfloor heating has also been introduced throughout the entire space: rather than pouring a heavy-duty concrete slab and screed layer and removing all existing timber joist flooring, Common Ground Workshop opted to retain the existing floor structure in its entirety and utilized a contemporary heating solution that could be retrofitted to the existing timber floor and covered with a highly efficient micro-concrete topping.'
'The space acts like a chameleon, shape-shifting from gallery to studio with the introduction of mobile walls and 'cabinets of curiosities' offering both storage and valuable wall space for artists to display the art.'
The result? An exciting new creative hub for South West London that is deeply rooted in sustainable values.
4.Wren Urban Nest by BDP Architecture
(Image credit: Photographer: Nick Caville Architect: BDP Architecture)
Talking hospitality and hotels now, we're jumping over to Ireland for a sustainable architecture project by BDP Architecture (opens in new tab) which not only works at the forefront of sustainable architecture practice, but also acts as a display case for a rich spread of Irish craftsmanship, and spotlights Ireland's heritage of craftsmanship and making.
Speaking specifically of their outlook on sustainability, Philip Gray, environmental design director, says, 'BDP's approach to sustainable design spans from macro-scale, through the creation of the sustainable urban environments, to micro-scale, through the specification of individual building systems and components. Our designers, ecologists, sustainability specialists, and engineers create environments that are demonstrably sustainable; through resource consumption, ecological impact and contribution to the local, economic and cultural landscape.'
Let's take a closer look at their latest sustainable architecture project, The Wren Urban Nest hotel design. Based in the heart of Dublin, The Wren is a new 137-room, nine-floor hotel designed and built using carbon reduction technologies, making it, BDP say, 'one of Europe's most sustainable hotels in a major city centre.'
Gray says, 'Eliminating the need for fossil fuels, the building uses 100% renewable energy and is the first hotel in Ireland to comply with the World Green Building Council's definition of 'Net Zero Operational Carbon', without having to purchase carbon offsets.'
Gray underpins the need for architects to outline clearly to clients the sustainable routes and avenues on offer, saying, 'Our standardised approach to whole life carbon analysis ensures that the impact of building retention or reuse is assessed against new construction options to allow our clients to make an informed decision on long-term value.'
Just what are the specific sustainable elements of this project? There are three, Gray says, which standout strongly. 'On heating and ventilation, Wren's hot water, heating, and cooling system design is based on a combination of highly efficient air source and water-to-water heat pumps – a completely renewable source of energy. The ventilation system captures 81% of rejected heat using a thermal wheel, which also heats the incoming fresh air for free. With no fossil fuels being consumed, the hotel avoids the production of large amounts of local pollution within its urban environment.'
Additionally, there's also the considered water conservation system, which Gray comments, 'The hotel's water demand is approximately 60% lower than that of typical hotel accommodation buildings through the implementation of water conservation measures and low-loss fitting specifications. Rainwater runoff is attenuated, reducing loads on the public mains and a green roof provides natural cooling and space for biodiversity.'
5. Salvaged Brick Extension House by VATRAA Architecture
Bogdan Rasu, founding partner (in partnership with Annamaria Pricu) of VATRAA (opens in new tab)architecture practice, says, 'this project demonstrates how reusing materials can have a powerful architectural impact while reducing the CO2 footprint.' How have VATRAA achieved sustainable outcomes with this residential build in North London? Rasu says that VATRAA implemented 'the 'reuse' approach by finding meaningful purpose for materials resulting from on-site demolitions.'
'Instead of transporting discarded materials to landfill and having new materials fabricated and shipped on-site, we found ways to work with what was already there. We used 99% of the bricks that resulted from the demolition of the original flank and rear walls to build new external walls of the wraparound extension. The result is a complementary addition that feels part of a whole while respecting the character of the old Victorian house,' explains Rasu.
Significantly for VATRAA this approach to sustainability is also about integrating the new addition into the environment. 'The context played an important role in defining not only the outside but also the inside. The exterior of the extension relates to the surroundings through its form and - significantly - its materiality. The gable shape of the extension continues a series of similar archetypes found around the property.'
'The salvaged red brick takes a new life in a new vertical bond that, together with the blue stained glass, brings a subtle reference to the 'pediment' (or 'fronton') found in classical architecture.' Furthermore, VATRAA has worked the brick material inside the build too, to the interiors. 'To create a strong inside-outside relationship, the brick is brought to form the internal leaf of the cavity walls, this time, in a white finish to absorb natural light and highlight the vibrant brick facade,' says Rasu.
Rory Robertson
Rory Alastair Robertson has a long-standing history working across the interiors industry. Raised in Morningside, Edinburgh, Rory grew up surrounded by classically grand Scottish Georgian and Victorian architecture.
His first appreciation for interior decoration sparked when his mother hired scaffolding and decorated their three-storey Victorian staircase in Farrow & Ball Picture Gallery Red, by herself. She then painstakingly gold leafed the drawing room - by hand - over a base coat of Sudbury Yellow. This was the era of Jocasta Innes and Kenneth Turner, when paint techniques and maximalist style were the decorating raison d'être.
With this inherited gene of creativity, Rory went on to study Interior Architecture at the University of Edinburgh, and later, Theatre Set Design and Architectural Illustration at The Rhode Island School of Design on America's East Coast.
Rory's foray with the editorial world started a decade ago at Livingetc magazine, a title which he regularly contributes to today. Specialising with a deep-seated appreciation for historical homes and interiors, Rory often travels far and wide to be inspired by unique properties with a fascinating history.
If he's not uncovering an unusual National Trust property in the UK, then he's seeking out a Neo-Classical clifftop villa in Capri or a Palazzo in Florence.
Based in London's Shoreditch, working as a Senior Interiors Editor and Consultant, Rory's portfolio of work is a creative melting pot of residential and commercial interior design projects and a plethora of editorial writing work. Rory is also Guest Interiors Lecturer at the prestigious KLC School of Interior Design in Chelsea, London. His most cosseted possession is a ramshackle Citroen Deux Chevaux, which he has reupholstered in Pierre Frey yellow and turquoise silk fabric.

If you think you are too busy, too inexperienced, too old, too unfit, too inflexible, too __________ [add your own reason here!] to do YOGA…..you're not!
Absolute Beginners love Milton Yoga Studio classes!
Attending a Yoga Studio where there are bolsters, blankets and straps, means that there are easy ways to support your body doing yoga poses. These yoga accessories are called 'props' and not all studios have them. We do!
Two areas where beginners begome quickly reassured, is in the standing poses, and the seated poses. Most people are ok standing, and the yoga poses are subtle ways to build core strength and power through the body and legs. 'Absolute Beginners' become adapted to a general class in just a few short weeks, learning to use props for support.
Seated poses are more restful for the body and this is usually where you bring in yoga breathing, meditation, and helath-giving gentle twists. If sitting is difficult for your knee – you just keep that leg straight. If your ankles bother you, prop yourself up against a wall. If you can't sit cross-legged because your hips are tight, or it is really hard, we have yoga chairs you can sit on and bolsters to pop under you. See? Easy! No difficulties that we can't work with.
Beginner's Yoga is hard to define as we dont know how old you are, your weight, if you have done any type of exercise before. From our side a beginner could be aged 18 – 70, weigh 48 kgs – 120 kgs….so contact us if you aren't sure, of just book in for a class and see how wonderful you feel afterwards.
Gayatri's 9.15 am Tuesdays yoga class comes highly recommended if you are available during the day. Plenty of parking, quiet, and it's a gentle class that will work you strongly but in a subtle way.
Contact her directly on 0423 322 035, or the Milton Yoga Studio Brisbane 3369 7404, or click here to add yourself directly to the yoga class list – and to see evening classes for beginners as well.
Yoga Flow warms us up!
Yoga Flow class is perfect for the 5.45 pm timeslot on Thursdays. Cosy group in a self-regulating flow-style class with Karen. If you are beginning yoga, for most people, you do what you can as you learn, and make progress each week. Once you come regularly and become more familiar with the yoga flow poses, you will get even more from your class.
or contact us by email, contact form, or calling/ sms to 0410 570 441.
Yoga Flow warms you up physically – but it will warm your heart as well!

DOWNSVILLE, Md. (AP) - A woman's body has been found by search crews following the discovery of a wrecked boat.
But The Herald-Mail reports rescue workers don't know how many people were on the Bass Tracker fiberglass boat found overturned Sunday morning on the Potomac River. Capt. Brian Albert with the Maryland Natural Resources Police says the boat was launched at Big Slackwater above Dam No. 4, and the body was found below the dam.
He says no one answered at the home of a local couple to whom the boat was registered, and the agency hasn't been able to contact family members.
Albert says the fishing-style boat was new, and still in one piece.
If police couldn't confirm only one person was aboard, the search was to resume at first light Monday.


I swear by lateral raises! These are the most important exercise in my Delt workout. As you can see in this video I can do an entire workout with just this one exercises and the platitude of different ways you can perform them.
Play around with weight, with reps, with drop sets and supersets. Bring your arms out to the front more (for front delts). To the side (for mid delt) – which I do mostly in this video as I am obsessed with getting cartoon "Boulder Shoulders!" Or to the rear (for rear delt). Feel how your shoulder muscle react and watch them engage in the mirror, this will help you understand your body better and what works and doesn't for you.

The expansion comes the same week Twitter unveiled a dozen video partnerships with programmers, like a 24-hour news stream from Bloomberg.
Roku is one of the most common devices for streaming to TVs.
Twitter is widening its streaming video campaign to Roku devices, one of the most-used boxes for watching online video on TVs.
The expansion comes the same week Twitter unveiled a dozen partnerships with programmers, like a 24-hour news stream from Bloomberg, in a big video push. Twitter is joining a scrum of digital companies -- Facebook and Google's YouTube chief among them -- elbowing one another to be first in line as advertisers move their TV commercial budgets to digital formats. Twitter is also betting that live TV will help draw more people to its service, after two years of flagging momentum.
Compared with rival streaming-TV boxes, Roku is the most pervasive in US households and tends to be one of the main ways people stream long-form TV from services like Netflix and Hulu, according to research firm Nielsen.
That tendency to heavy usage sometimes causes new streaming video providers to hold off on supporting Roku till they're sure they can handle the load. Twitter already had an app to stream video for Apple TV and Amazon's Fire TV devices.

In honor of Board Appreciation Month, the district recognized the Lynbrook Board of Education for their support and dedication to the students. Elementary Principals Ellen Postman (Kindergarten Center), Theresa Macchia (Marion Street), Allison Banhazl (Waverly Park) and Dr. Cindy Lee (West End) presented a video to the board which featured their students learning in action and thanking the board for the technology tools the help them learn. They also received giant cards from each building as a sign of appreciation.
Seven students from Lynbrook High School were also honored during the meeting for being selected as performers or alternates in the New York State School Music Association All-State Conference in Rochester from Nov. 29-Dec. 2. The students, Sara Bahri, Arpie Bakhshian, Juliana Condoleo, Leo Glassman, Danny Neri, Kaylin Tephly and Kara Vito, were congratulated by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Melissa Burak and received a T-shirt for their achievement.
It was a bittersweet meeting for Nikolaos Kardasis, a dedicated cleaner in the district who will retire after 20 years of service on Dec. 28. He was praised by the board for his hard work at Lynbrook High School as his fellow staff members and wife were there to show their support. Kardasis received a plaque for his service.
During the Superintendent's Report, Dr. Burak discussed the district's recent reunification drill which took place on Oct. 5. She thanked parents, students and staff for their support during the drill which was to test the internal safety procedures. Continuing the discussion of safety, Dr. Burak spoke about attending the Nassau County Police Department School Safety Forum with others from the district on Sept. 25. She spoke about the organizations that were present and the topics discussed.
Dr. Burak announced that the district will be celebrating Unity Day on Oct. 24 and encouraged everyone to wear orange. Each school will be participating in a different activity in honor of the occasion. She also updated the community about the financial component of Every Student Succeeds Act, which is a transparency requirement. The district must now report district funding per building. This means that building budgets will look much different than in the past. Where some expenditures are currently shown in central office budgets, these will now be represented in building budgets. This will be presented fully during the February budget work session.
Dr. Burak also spoke about her meeting with fellow superintendents and Congresswoman Kathleen Rice about safety related matters such as the federal government's talk of arming school employees. The group spoke about how the federal government can help by giving district's money to help combat mental health related issues. Dr. Burak mentioned that there is a Title Four grant that is used for the purpose of safety. This year is the first year that the district received funding in the Title Four area in a long time but with federal grants, restrictions are set. The superintendents spoke with Congresswoman Rice about giving the district's money without the restrictions since not every district is the same.
Lastly, Dr. Burak provided an updated on Big Brothers/Big Sisters. The district explored the mentoring program last year and has now partnered with them. Two meetings were held with a representative from the organization to go through the process of how a student might be recognized as needing a Big Brother or Big Sister. An informational packet on how to apply to become a Big Brother or Big Sister can be found on the district's website, lynbrookschools.org under the community tab.
Dr. Gerard Beleckas, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, and assessment, provided the community with a curriculum update on the Every Student Succeeds Act and Next Generation Standards. He reported that the New York State Education Department released modifications of the ESSA. There will be no financial impact if the district does not meet a 95 percent exam participation rate and 95 percent participation may or may not affect the school district depending on the number of students that score at level 1 or level 2.
"It shows that the education department is listening to feedback," said Dr. Beleckas.
In addition, Dr. Paul Lynch, assistant superintendent for finance, operations, and information systems, shared a capital projects and Smart Bond Investment Plan update. The Smart Bond process is at the first stage and on Oct. 15, the bid will go out to the public for various construction companies to pick up the document. On Nov. 1, the district will be opening the bid documents and awarding it at the board meeting that month. The Smart Bond will fund security vestibules for each building in the district. Lynbrook High School currently has a security vestibule in place and the vestibules for the remaining buildings is expected to be built during the school year.
Dr. Lynch also reported some movement on the large bond projects. The plans for the air conditioning are going through the New York State Education Department Office of Facilities Planning and the district is hoping to have them out before next year so that a bid can go out in the spring to possibly get them installed in the summer. The Lynbrook High School preliminary plans are at the New York State Education Department where they are making evaluations and suggestions for the purpose of state aide. The architect will then submit the detailed engineering plan. If the preliminary plan is released in time, the district hopes to have the big plan back up to them before the holiday break.

Sydney shop OTIS Records will host an end of lease party this Saturday, March 12th, from 11 AM.
The compact Chippendale record store was first opened in September last year by local producer Hubert Clarke Jr, stocking a wide variety of house, techno, disco and "everything from jazz to African folk to Japanese pop." After its six month run, they'll have one last afternoon session with Sydney DJ Preacha playing with an unannounced guest between 11 AM and 5 PM. Clarke Jr says "with a little luck we'll be reopening in a couple months not far away" and urges customers to "pick up a record and help us live on."
Clarke Jr recently dropped his debut EP, Al Dente, via 100% Silk.
Chris Muliartha (aka Preacha) is a stalwart in Sydney's underground. His ability to mix seamlessly between hip hop, funk, soul, disco, house, techno and everything in between has sparked his steady rise through the ranks.
The two Mahogani artists will fly south in November.
The Beats In Space host will play three shows leading up to Australia Day.
The Detroit jock will play a minimum four hours at the Sydney venue in February.
The London label will team up with Siberia Records in the NSW city on December 31st.

The American producer will spend New Year's in the region.


At February's meeting we'll cross off bingo squares in response to questions about traits and heredity. Prior knowledge needed of traits inherited from parents and familiarity with traits listed on bingo card is helpful. Participants will be able to understand and inventory their own inherited traits.

I found the following regarding Harold Camping on Tricia Tillan-Booth's site. It is quite disturbing.
As most of you are aware I am at this moment in North Vietnam helping the much persecuted Hmong people of the tribal mountain areas.
After listening to a translation of Camping's prediction 7,000 of these people (known in The West as Montagnards) gathered on a mountain praising God – their suffering at the hands of the Communist regime was supposedly about to end because Jesus was returning that day in May to establish a new kingdom.
The police and military police slaughtered many of them at gunpoint beheading two pastors. Others were arrested. I am told by Hmong pastors that so many were shot dead that they were buried in mass graves bulldozed over in an episode that I read about in Britain but did not understand the magnitude of until I got here. I am now trying to clean up the mess at the request of local Hmong leaders.
I spoke to a secret convocation of Hmong pastors only yesterday who came to Hanoi, explaining to them about false prophets and false teachers.
Due to a combination of poverty, ignorance, and persecution these poor Christians don't understand much so they believed Camping's shortwave broadcast which is how most get their teaching in a certain village area with heavy persecution. Their families don't know if their missing loved ones are among the many shot dead, among those arrested and imprisoned, or among those from the 7,000 hiding in the jungle.
I am not the nicest guy in the world let alone the best Christian and I can't pretend to be. But anyone who had to deal with the confusion and devastation I am dealing with now due to Harold Camping would also blow their top. These people already suffering for their faith in Jesus had it bad enough. They are not like the undiscerning whackos in The West who should have known Camping was a crackpot and a proven false prophet & false teacher.
This is a persecuted church who just had no means to know any different. This is why I get angry at those who deceive the Body of Christ and why I warn so much about false teachers and false prophets. It may be an extreme case but these people, some of them children, were shot dead. Of course we can blame Satan and the communists but their blood is on the hands of Harold Camping and his Family radio. Women without husbands, children without parents, husbands without wives – thank you Family Radio; thank you Harold Camping.
The anguish of the Hmong folk took my concentration off of my own problems… because their problems are so much greater after what they refer to as 'the mountain massacre' due to Harold Camping.
Please pray for these people and the work of Moriel Asia branch here among the Hmong. We are trying to get 5,000 outlawed Hmong Bibles printed or smuggled in via Laos.
Where does it end? These people are suffering terribly while Camping is still in business in Oakland, California – as usual telling more lies… Come Lord Jesus.

Police in Nashville have arrested five children, among them a 12-year-old girl, in connection to the shooting death of a local musician during what was believed to be a robbery-gone-awry. Yorlets refused and was fatally shot, a Nashville Police Department investigation has found.
"The juveniles interacted with Yorlets, took his wallet and ultimately demanded that he surrender the keys to his vehicle", according to a Nashville police press release obtained by PEOPLE. Three of the five are girls, and prosecutors are expected to try them all as adults, reports the Tennessean.
The stolen truck was found later Thursday, according to police. The group was arrested at a Walmart in West Nashville, hours after police reported finding their getaway vehicle.
"On February 7, 2019 we lost our brother, best friend, and bandmate Kyle Yorlets", the band wrote.
Investigators found Snapchat photos of the girl in a auto with other young people and guns, Aaron said, according to the Tennessean. We are heartbroken. Our condolences for this family and loved ones and all the lives that he touched. Following the tragic news, Yorlets' bandmates in Carverton posted a heartfelt statement on Facebook.
Yorlets was from Pennsylvania and went to college at Belmont University.
A GoFundMe has been established to help with funeral costs and travel expenses for Yorlets' family.

Q: How do you create a custom exception that handles user input taking range of values in account, in python? I'm learning Python and I came across the following exercise:

Create your own custom exception that will handle user input that is
  NOT in the appropriate range of values you want them to enter (such as
  a percentage mark must be 0 and 100) HINT: You will need a
  definition!

The wording confused me, but from what I understand, I have to create a program that takes in a value that must be between 0 and 100 and has to incorporate an exception and a definition(?)
Here is what I have tried:
mark = 0

class Illegal(Exception):
    pass

while True:
    try:
        uMark = int(input("Enter a mark out of 100 to see if its valid or not: "))
        if 100 < uMark < 0:
            raise Illegal
        break
    except Illegal:
        print("Invalid mark")

print("Valid mark")

This, however, doesn't seem to be working because when I input, say, 200, as it returns Valid mark.

A: This test can never be true:
if 100 < uMark < 0:

Chained comparisons use and to test all comparisons, as if you wrote:
if 100 < uMark and uMark < 0:

Integer values can't both be greater than 100 and at the same time be smaller than 0.
You need to use or instead, explicitly:
if 100 < uMark or uMark < 0:

Now this test is going to be true when uMark is either too small (below 0) or too large (over 100).
I'd re-arrange that test to be a little clearer to the human reader that uMark is outside the range:
if uMark < 0 or 100 < uMark:


GlobeSt | How do Startups Search for Office Space?
TenantBase CEO Bennett Washabaugh discussed trends in startup and small business office search with Carrie Rossenfeld, reporter at GlobeSt.com.
Here are some main takeaways from the article.
New businesses searching for office space have never leased an office before! Unlike older, larger, more established companies, they don't have experience leasing multiple offices over a long period of time. Many are beginning their search 15-45 days prior to needing to a space, according to our data. This means finding a move-in-ready, plug-and-play option, but it also means that startups may need some help understanding the market and negotiating points when signing a lease. That's why TenantBase's office search technology is supported by a team of commercial real estate experts that help each tenant along the discovery and leasing process.
....and need space based on stage of growth!
We find that companies 0-2 years old are often interested in co-working spaces and executive suites. TenantBase itself just graduated from prominent Southern California incubator EvoNexus! Some buildings also offer spec suites, which maturing startups tend to prefer. Here in Orange County, notable developers such as the Irvine Company provide excellent options for growing businesses.
Bennett's advice for startups looking for office space? Don't get discouraged, start early, and hire a broker. There are so many potential additional costs and unpredictable obstacles when leasing an office. Whether you're a new business owner or a veteran entrepreneur, it is important to speak with an expert that knows and understands your surrounding office space marketplace intimately.
Thank you to Carrie Rossenfeld and GlobeSt.com for the wonderful feature. Read it here!
TenantBase is a free search platform and service available to startups, small businesses, and local entrepreneurs looking for office space.

Stephen Austin, the son of Moses Austin, was born in Wythe County, Virginia, on 3rd November, 1793. When Austin was a child his family moved to Missouri.
After graduating from Transylvania University, Austin joined the family lead business. Later he studied law at New Orleans.
In 1820 Moses Austin was granted permission by the Spanish authorities to establish a colony in the Mexican province of Texas. The following year Moses Austin died and so Stephen Austin travelled to San Antonio to complete his father's task. In 1822 Austin established the first legal Anglo-American colony in Texas.
Mexico, worried by the growth of the colony, attempted to prevent American immigrants arriving in Texas. In 1834 Austin was imprisoned by the Mexicans but was released a year later. During the Texas War of Independence Austin was commander of the region's volunteer army.
In June 1836 Austin was defeated for the presidency of the Republic of Texas by Samuel Houston. However, he agreed to serve under Houston as Secretary of State.
Stephen Austin died on 27th December, 1836.
1. No person will be admitted as a settler, who does not produce satisfactory evidence of having supported the character of a moral, sober, and industrious citizen.
2. Each settler must, when called on by the Governor of said Province, take the oath of allegiance to the government exercising the sovereignty of the country.
3. Six hundred and forty acres of land will be granted to the head of each family, and in addition to that, three hundred and twenty acres to a man's wife, one hundred and sixty acres for each child, and eighty acres for each slave; which land will be laid oft in two equal tracts, one on the river in an oblong, the other is to be located so as not to interfere with the river lands; one of said tracts must be actually inhabited and cultivated by the person and family who has permission to settle it, within one year from the first of January 1822. Twelve cents and a half per acre, must be paid me for said land, one half on receipt of title, the other halt in one year after, which will be in full for surveying fees and all other charges - each settler will chose his own tracts of land within the limits designated by said Austin.
4. Mechanics and men of capital, will receive additional privileges in proportion to their capacity to be useful.
5. Each settler is required to report himself to me, or the officer who has charge of the Colony, immediately on his arrival, and to furnish a list of the number of his family, giving the name of his children and their age, the number of Negroes, designating those under twelve years of age, those over twelve and under twenty-one, those over twenty-one, and if any of the family are mechanics to state what kind.
Respect for the opinions and last will of my father caused me to explore Texas in 1821. I was both delighted and astonished to find it to be the most favored region I had ever seen. Its fertility and natural resources, so far exceeding any thing I had imagined, determined me to devote my life to the great object of redeeming it from the wilderness.
It was a heavy undertaking for a young, inexperienced and very poor man. My first step was to study the character of the Mexicans and ascertain their ideas and views as to Texas. I found they knew nothing about it, and were profoundly ignorant of its real value, and also that they considered it next to impracticable to form a settlement in its wilderness without the aid of a very strong Military force for garrisons to keep the Indians in check. I also discovered that strong prejudices existed against the North Americans owing to the conduct of some who were engaged in the revolutionary expeditions that had entered Texas at various times since 1811. I saw that all the efforts to get foothold here by means of such expeditions had failed and ended in defeat and ruin, and I believed they always would fail. These observations convinced me that the only means of redeeming this country from the wilderness was by peaceful silent, noiseless, perseverance and industry, and that the axe, the plough and the hoe would do more than the rifle or the sword. Under these impressions I began and have pursued the main object with a degree of patience and perseverance which nothing but its vast importance to the civilized world could ever have given me fortitude to continue through so many years of hardships and amidst so many discouraging obstacles. The worst is now over and the few clouds which seem to hang over us are mere shadows when compared with those which have passed. I have laid a sufficient foundation for others to build on, and a prudent course will make this country one of the finest in the world (for mine is the only one that is established) and under it I shall be able with good management to keep open the door for some time longer, and perhaps untill a new order of things takes place.
I have had two difficult tasks to perform here, one to manage the Government and the other to manage the settlers, of these, the latter was by far the most difficult. I do say that the North Americans are the most obstinate and difficult people to manage that live on earth, tho I have had many "backwoods men" and "rough fellows" to do with. Emigrants from Europe are not prohibited, and I sometimes think that Swiss and Germans will promote the prosperity of this country much more than North Americans. They will introduce the culture of the vine, olive etc. they are industrious and moral, they have not in general, that horrible Mania for speculation which is so prominent a trait in the English and North American character, and above all they will oppose slavery. The idea of seeing such a country as this overrun by a slave population almost makes me weep.
In the beginning of this settlement I was compelled to hold out the idea that slavery would be tolerated, and I succeeded in getting it tolerated for a time by the Government I did this to get a start for otherwise it would have been next to impossible to have started at all, for I had to draw on Louisiana and Mississippi, Slave States, for the first emigrants. Slavery is now most positively prohibited by our Constitution and by a number of laws, and I do hope it may always be so.
I have passed a truly slavish life here for nine years, my constitution is much broken, my health bad, and my days are probably drawing towards a close, but I can claim some credit for what has been done towards laying a foundation for the formation of a rich and I hope a happy community. Texas no longer belongs to the wilderness - whether it will ultimately remain attached to Mexico, or unite with the north, or form an independent nation, is all mere matter of conjecture. If slavery is excluded, I think the latter the most probable - but if it is admitted, Texas will become what all slave countries are and of necessity must be destitute of physical force and dependent on some other power even for the preservation of its internal tranquility - in short it must have a prop to lean upon, for no slave country can stand alone.
