Simon Opzoomer, né le  à Rotterdam et décédé le  à Anvers est un peintre néerlandais.

Biographie

Jeunesse et apprentissage
Opzoomer s'initie à la peinture avec Gillis de Meijer à Rotterdam. Il part poursuivre ses études à Anvers, à l'académie des beaux-arts et suit les cours de Mathieu-Ignace Van Brée puis de Nicaise De Keyser. EN 1836-1837, il fait un voyage à Paris pour y poursuivre ses études. Revenu au Royaume des Pays-Bas, il expose pour la première fois en 1838 à Amsterdam avec « Portrait d'une jeune femme ». L'une des premières œuvres historiques qu'il expose au public est « Les Frères de Witt au Gevangenistoren à La Haye », présentée en 1843 et acquise par le roi Guillaume II.

Maturité et reconnaissance
Il est régulièrement invité lors des expositions des Pays-Bas, que ce soit à La Haye, Amsterdam ou Leeuwarden. Il acquiert une bonne réputation de portraitiste, de peintres d'Histoire et de genre. Il intègre l'Académie royale d'Amsterdam et est distingué d'une nomination comme chevalier de l'Ordre de la Couronne de Chêne par le roi Guillaume III en 1853.

Opzoomer exploite pourtant régulièrement des thèmes libéraux ou anti-royaliste, tels les frères De Witt ou Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, des personnalités qui se sont opposées au stadhouder ; comme avec la toile « La dernière prière d'Oldenbarnevelt ». Il semble manifestement séduit par les idéaux libéraux qui traversent l'Europe après les révolutions de 1848.

Au début des années 1850, Opzoomer s'installe à Anvers et, malgré quelques brefs passages à La Haye et Rotterdam, y reste jusqu'à sa mort.

Style et analyse de l'œuvre
Opzoomer a une bonne connaissance de la peinture moderne belge, et plus particulièrement de l'école d'Anvers. Son emploi des couleurs chaudes et expressives, qui se réfèrent directement à cette influence fait dire à un critiques d'art contemporain que Opzoomer

People Feeling the "Inflexion Point"
I spoke of the Inflexion point in a previous article (How the Inflexion Point is Affecting People). It's a critical phase in the shift, where fragmented light that's been stuck in the old reality consciousness, weaves together, and starts to move strongly in the ascending vibrational flow. Those still heavily invested in the old consensus reality will feel increasingly insecure, and especially the Opposing Consciousness that binds the old construct together.
This is not some esoteric pontification, the movement of consciousness will be affecting ALL sentient life on the planet. Even for those who wouldn't consider themselves 'spiritual', the energy will be pulling deep in the emotional body and psyche, activating karma when their vibration is high enough. Make no mistake, the resolving flow will impact every feeling, emotion, thought and choice.
Beware that the Opposing Consciousness will play on any inner distortion. If there's some subtle fear or inner shadow, it will maximise it. It is also exceedingly clever and evolved itself. So beware the deception and "Tom Foolery". "What is compassion and true empathy?" you might be asked this in your relationships. Empathy is NOT sympathy (and the two are often easily confused internally). Sympathy simply pulls everyone back into the whirlpool. When you're in a pit, true empathy feels your challenge and points to whatever 'ladder' you might need.
Others around you, in your families and at work, may be going into fear at times, also resentment and projection. You might feel to support in a particular way, but be sure you're coming from your true alignment - that there isn't some subtle sense of obligation or that you must heal them in some way or be tempted to carry their burden - which is essentially their own self-realisational opportunity.
Remember always that each has their own path and manifests EXACTLY the conditions they need to heal, align and find the higher truth themselves. We may shine a light forwards, but it is not for us to walk the path for another - true empowerment and soul sovereignty comes from your own soul integration, forged in the crucible of life's challenges.
Let Go of Fear, Doubt and Uncertainty - the Storm will End!
And the storm will end.
Have no doubt, the storm will end! The stronger you bind yourself to the 'mast' - the light of your highest truth - the faster and more integrated you will come through. You won't always know where the path is heading. It will take you through difficult times and many 'dark alleys' through society, through work and relationships, through the very field itself. Work to trust in the path, in your highest truth and the flow - that it knows where it's meant to go. Then sure enough, you'll come shining through, 'the dots' will all join up somewhere in your future and make absolute sense. Your heart will be full of love, your mind still, and you'll be at peace in the light of the divine.
So push on my friends, push through, an army of benevolence is willing you on!

Thank you for this powerful and supportive article, Open.
And all the helpful support you have been sharing!
I couldn't finish reading it without crying.
Yes. That is exactly what I am feeling to "Tie Yourself to the Mast" as I am sitting here looking outside the window in the middle of the wintry storm. The snow is falling in the South and I am not sure how i will get to the New Year retreat in La Palma. I might have to make changes and adjustments again and just go with the flow. I need to remember to hold things lightly including the spiritual journeys as well.
Interesting synchronicity happened yesterday evening right before the storm as I was reading the last chapter in Divinicus book on transcendence by embodying the light of your soul through the bodymind. As i was reading it, the spotlight on the side of the house starting working which hasn't worked in ages. Wow!
I am feeling the inflexion point for sure . Old old programs ,I thought I had felt through have re-emerged . I am struggling to retain my composure under the onslaught of such powerful emotion ,such neediness within . Breathing ,feeling and re-reading the Five Gateways book is what is helping me retain some sense of perspective.
That's the key, just keep feeling within. Find the tightness, soften into it and unwind through.
Know that each step is taken by unwinding density - without even knowing where that might be heading. Work to trust in the flow itself, that it knows where you're heading. You'll come up smiling and expanded.
You may find yourself being pulled in different directions at the moment. There may be people around you in confusion at times, anxiety and fear. And because you care about them, a connection forms, and so you have to work not to get sucked into their drama. Remember true empathy is not the same as sympathy - sympathy get's sucked into the whirlpool too, whilst empathy helps illuminate the way out. So let's be compassionate and caring, yes, but let's remember our divine connection and keep aligning internally with that. As you do so, you find your soul unwinding through and out. What's more, you have a positive realigning impact on the field too.
Stay with it my friends - tie yourself to the mast!
Thanks Open for the reminder. Just yesterday my daughter was over and without going in to detail I had to be fully aware of the moment not to get caught up in the drama. I could feel the tightness. I was compassionate and caring and stayed anchored. A few minutes later I could feel the tightness dissolve away.
It sure is sticky! I am caked in mud, waiting for the breakthrough! And I am riveted,tied and glued to the mast.
I need to trust the flow is what hits me between the eyes! Thanks for the reminder!
I got drawn to this article and read the comments wow! So apt.
Megha I so much relate to your postings. Its nice to know i am not alone in this energy tsunami. Thankyou so much for sharing.
And a BIG THANK YOU to all you fellow travellers sharing your feelings, and to the openhand team for this site. I am so grateful I found you guys.
I am so glad that what I am sharing makes sense to you and therefore brings you comfort . This is definitely the website for authentic Beingness. Right now after a high of getting many synchronicities and the world 'speaking ' to me ,I am again in density . This time it's not Grey density. It feels like old karma I'm feeling into with deep pain emerging in my heart and in my sacrum . I'm feeling like I'm in New territory here- I feel like I have the flu and I am getting shivers down my body . As always when it's time to feel ,I'm unable to process intellectually very much and Zee ,I think it's important you know that it's okay to not know the why's ,wherefores or how's. At least in my experience ,I make the connection AFTER I have been with the emotions for a while . It's feeling with as much depth as is possible to you ,that does the trick. Also taking out time to consciously replete yourself in Nature and self soothing like music . Lots of love to you on your path !
PS: It's only after I posted the reply did I read the post tethered above . Exactly what I needed to see!
Yes I titally concur - it's often best to process first and know after. That way you don't second guess the feeling or cut them short. We must go fully through.
Hey Open, I'm so glad you 'titally' agree, ha ha that gave me a laugh. Thankyou for your support, so appreciated.
And Megha, what you said re- process first, know later really rang true for me, thanks.
The old mind just wants to be in on everything and screws it up! ay!
Big etheric hugs to you both.

What dog can kill a bear?
Are polar bears really endangered?
Vulnerable (Population decreasing)
What animal can kill a bear?
Most other animals have more to fear. But tigers, other bears, wolves and especially humans have been known to attack and kill bears. Scavengers in numbers are also a threat. Regardless of what type of bear it is, as an apex predator and carnivore, bears, have almost no natural predators.
Are polar bears extinct 2020?
The Arctic where polar bears live is huge — about twice the size of the continental United States. The global number of polar bears stands between 22,000 and 31,000, or a midpoint of 26,500. The simple fact is that polar bears are not going extinct. They are not becoming fewer and fewer.
How can we stop polar bear extinction?
From fundraising for environmental charities to reducing your carbon footprint, learn how to save polar bears from extinction with three ideas.
Volunteer your time.
Help fight climate change.
Raise money for an environmental charity.
Repairing a sanctuary for polar bears.
Fundraising for an arctic expedition.
How are the polar bears doing 2020?
With Arctic sea ice in a spiraling decline—2020 was recently declared the second-lowest ice year in the satellite record—it's an axiom of climate change that polar bears are in peril. …
Can polar bears be saved?
Data suggests that in some areas polar bear numbers would be declining without any hunting. So the short answer is that restricting hunting in some areas certainly could save more bears for the time that we stop the decline of the sea ice, but by itself it will not save the polar bears.
Do bears eat you alive?
Black bears are shy and timid. They do not attack humans to defend territory. Nor do mother black bears attack to defend cubs. In general, if a black bear attacks, it's to eat you.
What country has the most polar bears?
How many polar bears die each year from global warming?
Climate change: Polar bears could be lost by 2100. Polar bears will be wiped out by the end of the century unless more is done to tackle climate change, a study predicts. Scientists say some populations have already reached their survival limits as the Arctic sea ice shrinks.
Why Polar Bear are endangered?
Polar bears spend over 50% of their time hunting for food. But because of ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change–the primary threat to polar bears Arctic-wide–polar bears were listed as a threatened species in the US under the Endangered Species Act in May 2008.
Are polar bears endangered 2019?
Polar bears are are now listed as a threatened species under the United States' Endangered Species Act as polar bear populations declined. Stay updated on polar bears with comprehensive articles, interactive features and polar bear pictures at LiveScience.com.
Can polar bears live without ice?
Polar bears need ice to capture their prey. Without sea ice, bears won't be able to catch any seals. All other food that can be found by polar bears – fish, eggs, reindeer, and human garbage – is not so high in calories. Polar bears will starve on that food alone.
Is a bear dangerous?
Grizzly and polar bears are the most dangerous, but Eurasian brown bears and American black bears have also been known to attack humans. Some species depredate livestock on occasion, and some bears, such as Asiatic and American black bears, may destroy fruit or other crops, especially corn.
How many white bear are left?
The global polar bear population is currently about 26,000, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). That's a rough estimate, but scientists have determined with 95% certainty that between 22,000 and 31,000 polar bears exist on Earth today.
Could polar bears live in the Antarctic?
Polar bears live in the Arctic, but not Antarctica. Down south in Antarctica you'll find penguins, seals, whales and all kinds of seabirds, but never polar bears. Even though the north and south polar regions both have lots of snow and ice, polar bears stick to the north. Polar bears don't live in Antarctica.
How many polar bears were there in 1950?
5,000 polar bears
How long do polar bears live?
How many polar bears are left in the world 2020?
31,000 polar bears
Which bear kills the most humans?
Do bears eat dogs?
While a black bear is capable of seriously maiming or killing a dog or human, s/he is more likely to run up a tree, or to run her cubs up a tree, to avoid an encounter. Grizzlies are more likely to stand their ground and defend themselves; they are not good climbers.
Why are polar bears endangered and how can we help?
As for the polar bears, they spend most of their time on floating sheets of sea ice hunting for their favorite food, seals. But as the Arctic has warmed in recent years, the ice is melting earlier. We can all contribute to reducing climate change, and therefore help polar bears and other endangered species.

Northeast Quad Conference 2016: Forge
Carnegie Mellon University hosted close to 500 architecture students in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) Northeast Quad Conference March 31-April 3, 2016. The largest quad conference of the year was themed Forge: New Urban Frontiers.
Northeast Quad Conference Chair Thomas Sterling said the conference aimed to focus on architects, designers, planners and community members who exist on the fringes of architecture. "The overall theme of the conference was meant to be optimistic, empowering and show our attendees that they can do pretty much anything as architects, designers and change makers."
Attendees had the option of four different tracks: technology, sustainability, public interest design and arts and culture.
"The tracks allowed members to choose programs based on their own interests," said Northeast Quad Director Rachel Law. "Each group got a different taste of CMU and Pittsburgh, which brings about some really interesting perspectives and stories," said Law.
She took part in the arts and culture track "because I was genuinely interested in the rich history of Pittsburgh. The track involved a broad variety of city tours and firm crawls, which showed how their rejuvenated culture went beyond simply the artists — it became essential to the sustainability of their communities."
The conference also featured keynote speakers:
James Ramsey, principal of raad studio and the creator of the Lowline;
Eve Picker, founder and president of equity and debt real estate crowdfunding portal smallchange.com; and
John Fetterman, Braddock, Pennsylvania mayor.
Sterling said the keynotes were incredibly well-received and that Fetterman left some members of the audience in tears. Fetterman spoke about the role architects can play in improving the lives of underserved and underprivileged communities across America.
"Fetterman's message about the importance of sharing our skills and education by making less privileged communities better was a really powerful example of how design and politics are intertwined and definitely spoke to a lot of people," said Sterling.

Don't let its compact stature fool you. Like its larger G-Series siblings, the 35G is exceptionally durable. And for good reason — it shares many of the same uptime-boosting features such as powdered-metal oil-impregnated boom, arm, and bucket bushings. Rigid reinforced D-channel side frames. And heavy-duty X-frames. When you know how it's built, you'll run a Deere.

Q: Do momentary push buttons commonly deteriorate? I have an Arduino project where a pin is kept high until a momentary button press connects the signal directly to ground, so the code is expecting the button to be high until the press takes it low.
Everything works after I solder it together for at least a couple of hours, but I noticed the next day (both times I've tried this) the device acts as if it's being pressed constantly.
I measured the resistance of the momentary button and it is around 4.7 kΩ between the button studs (while still soldered to the PCB (I have not desoldered it yet, but anticipate doing so for testing it when I can clear a space to run a heat gun) when the button is not pressed.
I'm fairly certain I tested that button to have no connection between the studs and tested between the through holes on the PCB with the same result.
I tested another button from the same batch just now and confirmed that I got no connection without pressing the button.
This is the second time this has happened, so I'm beginning to suspect that these buttons just eventually start leaking current. I don't believe I am pushing too much current through it either. It's just the 5 V line from the Arduino routed through a 4.7 kΩ resistor prior to reaching the button (which, by the way, if I measure resistance from the 5 V to the supposedly unconnected stud on the button, I get around 10 kΩ resistance), then the press routes the signal to ground. Any thoughts?

A: that varying voltage sounds like a software problem as-if some part of the software has defined that pin as an output.

A: Make sure you are only using electronic grade solder.
Plumbing solder not only has a higher melting point but incorporates an corrosive acid flux core that is very conducive and can cause this kind of issue.
If you did use the wrong  kind you can try to clean it with an old toothbrush and 99% isopropanol.

A:
Do momentary push buttons commonly deteriorate?

Not in normal use. They have a current rating you should check, but it is very unlikely that you are exceeding that in any normal use. Excess current can cause contacts to weld shut but that is unlikely to be the case unless your circuit is unusual.

It's just the 5 V line from the Arduino routed through a 4.7 kΩ resistor prior to reaching the button

That doesn't read like the usual way to connect momentary buttons to an Arduino. Usually you'd use INPUT_PULLUP to enable the internal pullup feature in a GPIO pin and then externally connect that pin to ground through the button. You wouldn't need an external 4.7K resistor or any extra connections to a 5V line.

Keep Your Mouth Healthy With Preventive Dentistry!
It is said that prevention is the best way to avoid any kind of foreseeable problems, and at Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry of North Alabama, we completely agree! From teeth cleaning to sealants to fillings, we offer the preventive care you and your family need to minimize your dental concerns. Our pediatric dentistry is a terrific way to get children accustomed to the dentist early for long-term results.
Solid oral health has been linked to many positive outcomes, not the least of which is higher confidence. The key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy, as well as stopping any problems as soon as they arise (or before they arise), is through preventive dental care. Prevention starts with regular appointments for teeth cleaning in Huntsville, AL, but does not end there! Call our office at (256) 278-4780 to make an appointment for your next visit.
Scheduled Checkups and Cleanings – When you come to Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry of North Alabama twice per year for checkups and dental cleanings, you are enabling our dental professionals to examine what is occurring in your mouth. If we see any concerns, we can take care of them quickly and efficiently. In fact, we have saved patients from future issues by making adjustments in their treatment early.
Sealants – During appointments, we may notice that the biting surface of your molars seems to be weak or at risk of cavity development. In this case, we can apply sealants made from plastic coating to the top of freshly cleaned and sanitized molars. Sealants protect the teeth for years and are often used in pediatric dentistry.
Fillings – When a cavity is discovered, the fastest way to avert long-term problems is to remove the caries (decayed areas), clean and sanitize the area, and then seal it with a filling made of composite material that looks like the natural tooth. If you currently have metal fillings or fillings that are coming loose, immediate treatment can reduce the chances that the area will become reinfected.
Remember that proper brushing and flossing at home is also a way to continue your preventive dental care when you are away from our office.


Air supremacy was a permanent challenge during World War II. In the battle of France, the Luftwaffe's powerful Stukas were a key component to the German blitzkrieg that led them to victory. Over the English Channel, the heroism of RAF pilots saved their country from an invasion. In the skies of Kursk, Smolensk or Stalingrad, many Soviet pilots defended their land against German bombs. Above the Pacific islands, US fighters put up a desperate fight to challenge the mighty Japanese Zeros. And when the Allied forces landed in Europe, it was under a constant aerial cover of fighters, fighter-bombers, and bombers – at that time, allied air supremacy was at its pinnacle.
Send your bombers on strategic objectives, but make sure they do not encounter enemy fighters! Order your fighter-bombers to support your troops into battle! These new rules grant you many new tactical options that can be put to good use in the scenarios provided with this expansion. Moreover, they are compatible with all the already existing scenarios, on all theatre of operations, and they will change your Memoir '44 experience for ever!

Clinical outcomes of oncologic gastrointestinal resections in patients with cirrhosis
Avo Artinyan, Christy L. Marshall, Courtney J. Balentine, Daniel Albo, Sonia T. Orcutt, Samir S. Awad, David H. Berger, Daniel A. Anaya
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis is a risk factor for postoperative morbidity and mortality after general surgical procedures. However, the impact of cirrhosis on outcomes of surgical resection for gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies has not been described. The authors' objective was to characterize early postoperative and transitional outcomes in cirrhotic patients undergoing GI cancer surgery. METHODS: Query of the National Inpatient Sample Database (2005-2008) identified 106,729 patients who underwent resection for GI malignancy; 1479 (1.4%) had cirrhosis. The association of cirrhosis with postoperative outcomes was examined. The primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included length-of-stay (LOS) and discharge to long-term care facility (LTCF). RESULTS: Cirrhotic patients had higher risk of in-hospital mortality (8.9% vs 2.8%, P <.001), longer LOS (11.5 ± 0.26 vs 10.0 ± 0.03 days, P <.001), and higher rate of discharge to LTCF (19.0% vs 15.7%, P <.001). Mortality was highest in patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction (21.5% vs 6.5%, P <.001). On multivariate analysis, cirrhosis was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.5-3.7) and nonhome discharge (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.0). In cirrhotic patients, moderate to severe liver dysfunction was the only independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR, 4.03; 95% CI, 2.7-5.9), but did not predict discharge disposition. CONCLUSIONS: Resection of GI malignancy in cirrhotics is associated with poor early postoperative and transitional outcomes, with severity of liver disease being the primary determinant of postoperative mortality. These data suggest that GI cancer operations can be performed safely in well-selected cirrhotic patients with mild liver dysfunction.

Did you know that when Santa Claus drops by Chino Valley, Arizona, to pick up children's wish lists, he flies in on a bright red helicopter?
Santa's splashy landing is the daily highlight of Chino Valley Hometown Christmas, a two-day event held each winter-holiday season by the Chamber of Commerce and Chino Valley Parks & Recreation. The annual event is public and free to all who want to add extra something to their holidays in Chino Valley.
Participating Chino Valley residents, businesses and organizations purchase and decorate a forest of holiday-themed trees that remain on display during the event. Nearly 50 trees get decked out in imaginative themes, often derived from the decorator's interests or Chino Valley's colorful Old West history. Awards are presented, with ribbons made by Chino Valley Quilters. Many trees are created with materials donated after the event, such as plush toys. Sometimes, the entire tree is donated. The event includes live entertainment, food and a craft fair, a great place to purchase last-minute, one-of-a-kind gifts.
The greatest thrill comes when Santa is delivered to the jolly site courtesy of Guidance Aviation of Prescott. It's a moment of holiday joy for all children, even the grown-up ones.

All students will be afforded an opportunity to develop social skills as well as activities that will create a climate of motivation that will increase the level of self-esteem that can be developed on and off of the track. All students will have access to a diverse population of mentors (i.e., college students, older team members, coaches, community and parents).The services that are offered to the kids will allow Primetime Runners Track & Field Club to be utilized as a community service organization decreasing the teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and high school or college drop outs. The club has youth participating from the Killeen/Fort Hood area and also Harker Heights, Coppers Cove, Belton, and many other surrounding cities and communities.
To train and assist young athletes to achieve their full academic/athletic scholarship to an accredited University of Collage.
The PrimeTime Runners Track & Field Club has a professional staff of board members, administrators and coaching staff spanning over 20 years of experience, knowledge, and skills, but we cannot do it alone.
Participants are ages 6 to 18 and the club is particularly interested in providing an out let for at-risk youth.
The summer track program provides an athletically motivated outlet for youth to burn up that excess energy in a positive manner on the track.
This program not only encourages athletic participation in track and field, but also helps each individual athlete develop self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, good sportsmanship qualities, and they make many new friends.
The ultimate goal of this program is to help each youth receive a scholarship to an accredited university or college to continue his/her education. Many of these youth will begin with the club at the age of 6 and continue until they are 18.

ABC Easy Crafts for Kids gives an A-Z guide of educational activities that will keep your kids busy on a rainy day. If you are going to entertain your children with a fun art and craft project, why not take the opportunity to teach them phonics, and to recognize the capital and small letter of the alphabet.
If you want to teach your kids the alphabet and also keep their hands busy, here's an easy list of things you can do with them. These activities are suitable for pre-schoolers.
Craft activity : On the outline of the letter A or a, children can make finger print 'ants' all over their artwork in black or red paint (or be creative with multi-coloured ants!). You can add the 6 legs afterwards with a black marker when the paint is dry. Introduce children to ants and their physical features as insects. This encourages exploration and sensorial discovery.
Arts & Craft : Children can learn more about the apple fruit and its characteristics. Slice the apple in half and dip in paint. Apple print in Red or Green. Develop math skills by teaching children to count the number of red or green apple prints on the drawing block.
Craft activity : Teach your child to recognize the 'b' sound while they use blue and brown crepe papers to paste on a small paper bag. You can also introduce children to patterns.
Craft activity : Children can learn about the physical features of corn on a cob. They explore the bumpy and coarse textures, enhancing curiosity and sensorial skills. Fine motor development is encouraged in grasping and printing using paint on drawing block.
Sensorial Craft activity : Play with ice cubes and see the transformation from ice to water. Children can create drawings with the coloured ice cubes on drawing block for an enjoyable sensorial craft activity. Use food colouring to make the coloured ice cubes.
Craft activity : Dress a doll with cotton balls. You can mix some glue with the paint for a colourful explosion. Introduce the 'd' sound with words like 'doll', 'dress' etc.
Exploratory craft project : Dough play brings about creativity and therapeutic benefits. Children can create their 'Dazzling masterpieces'. This hands-on activity lets children work on their pincer grip, which in time to come will benefit their penmanship.
Craft project : How do you make purple? (Mixing blue and red). Children have fun getting their hands messy mixing different colours to produce the colour of the eggplant. Cut up an eggplant and let them learn through interactive exploration, about the physical properties of this unusual looking vegetable. They can also do some eggplant printing on drawing block making different patterns or shapes.
Let children observe live wriggly earthworms from the garden and introduce them to the natural behaviour and physical characteristics of these creepy crawlies. Reinforce linguistic skills and artistic creativity through craft work by letting kids draw whatever they want using bits of yarn dipped in paint and dragged across paper (like icky wriggly worms).
Sensorial project : This exciting activity encourages children to explore the use of their own body parts in art. Enhance observational skills by letting kids compare and contrast between big (mommy's footprint) and small (their own footprint).
Naturalist craft project : Introduce children to birds, their body parts and physical characteristics. Enhance sensorial skills as children explore the light and soft textures of feathers. Afterwards, use the feathers to make colourful bird art.
Make your own green goop! Use corn flour and water, mixed with blue and yellow paint (to make green). This thrilling project is full of sensorial experiences. Children can feel the different textures, liquid and viscous one moment and when squeezed, hardening before becoming liquid again suddenly. It is amazing fun even for the adult while kids develop science skills reinforced through colour mixture and experimentation.
Scientific craft project : Make your own mini rug! Introduce children to the colour green (from mixing blue and yellow) and the Square shape. Enhance sensorial and fine motor skills (pincer grip) as children use yarn to create their own art.
Reinforces recognition of textures. In a large box lid, put the drawing block paper and drip a generous amout of paint, then use a hard golf ball and let your child roll the golf ball around in the box lid, making beautiful random designs. You can also add other colours. Now use a soft sponge to dab with, contrasting textural differences of hard and soft.
Art project : Make hand prints and then draw faces on each of the fingers to represent a member of the family - Daddy, Mommy, Grandma, Grandpa, Brother or Sister and the child himself.
Craft activity : Use Frootloops to make a colourful edible bracelet. Teach your child to thread the string into each frootloop. This threading activity enhances hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Children also learn about parts of the body and accessories that go with them.
An enjoyable activity that enables children to exercise finger-grasping and motor skills to create different Insects with the potato stamps. Maybe design colourful beetles or ladybirds using coloured markers?
Fun Sensorial craft : Jelly in the bowl, wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble! Use jelly to create a variety of patterns, let your child use his hands to experience the sensation of spreading the jelly on drawing block paper. Use various colours to make your jelly.
Craft activity : Create your own plate of pasta! Develop your child's math skills as they differentiate between round and long-shaped pasta. Teach them counting as they create an interesting food collage. Use paint mixed with glue on a paper plate before sticking the pasta on it.
Sensorial craft activity : Learn more about keys by making key imprints. Place the paper over the key and use a colour pencil to shade over the key to leave the imprint on the paper. Children get to work on their fine motor skills as well as observe and compare shapes.
Craft project : Make a crown fit for a King (or Queen)! A 'majestic' art and craft activity that helps build self-esteem as children make their own bejewelled crowns to wear and enjoy. Cut the shape of the crown from craft paper, remembering to measure the size against your child's head. Apply glue and decorate the crown using sequins and glitter. After the crown is complete, kids can march to the song of 'Old King Cole' in a lively music and movement session.
Children can be introduced to the unique properties of the lemon fruit. Let kids taste the sourness and show that the 2 halves make a whole, developing math skills as well as motor skills (finger grasp). Enhance creativity by using the lemons to make prints and designs with colourful paint.
Craft project : Children can discover more about the fluffy little lamb. Show what lamb's (sheep's) wool can be used for - scarves, sweaters etc. Using cotton wool, kids can make their own lamb on the cut-out shape, then stick the lamb on an ice-cream stick. They can then sing the song 'Mary had a Little Lamb'.
Fun craft project : Painting with marbles! Make creative use of marbles, by letting children explore the 'rolling' effect of a trayful of marbles. Allow kids to learn how to create their own artwork. Place the drawing block paper at the bottom of the tray, drop blobs of different coloured paint on the paper, pop the marbles in and let the child roll the marbles about. This enhances balancing skills and hand-eye coordination.
Create a 3-dimensional belt of all colours! This creative project enhances sensorial skills as children explore the 'sticky' texture of masking tape. They identify where their waist is as they create a colourful belt to wear. Use sequins, glitter and whatever art and craft scraps you have lying around to decorate the belt.

Dr. William Robb is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in adult knee diseases for patients with degenerative, inflammatory or post-traumatic arthritis. Based upon 40 years of surgical experience performing arthroscopic knee surgery, total and partial knee replacements, and total knee revision surgery, his current practice focuses on non-operative evaluation and treatment of adult knee disorders.
A fifth-generation physician whose father was an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Robb says his career in medicine was in his blood.
Dr. Robb is a careful listener who takes time to both care for his patients on a personal level and understand their expectations. He tailors his treatment plan individually to each patient's desired outcomes. Non-surgical treatments frequently include activity modification, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medications and knee injections, or surgical referral when appropriate.
A national leader in his field, Dr. Robb is the past President of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and a past leader in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Former Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook is curating Dance In A Panic, a brand-new British style rock 'n' roll dance party, in Los Angeles in association with KAV and local promoter Spaceland. The monthly event is intended to transcend musical genres by inviting indie and alternative to play on bills featuring DJs and electronic acts.
The debut edition of DIAP kicks off March 11 at The Regent Theater in Los Angeles with performances by KAV, Gateway Drugs, Magic Wands, Drinking Flowers and DJ sets by TSR Airlines and Pop Noir. Beginning April 30, Hook, who is currently touring with his band The Light, will be a regular feature of the nights, inviting his friends to join him DJing live from Manchester, broadcasting the sets straight to The Regent Theater via LA's "groundbreaking event-to-event streaming platform" Clubcast. Here's hoping Hooky's set is better than this infamous one.

When Democrats take control of the House in January, a top priority will be to ensure the White House correctly implements a new law extending benefits to more veteran caregivers, said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi, likely to be the next speaker of the House, spoke Thursday night at a convening of veteran caregivers hosted by former senator Elizabeth Dole. The Elizabeth Dole Foundation aids veteran caregivers and helped push through legislation during the summer that extends Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to caregivers of veterans injured before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Through a VA caregiver program implemented in 2010, benefits such as monthly stipends, health insurance, medical training and access to home health aides are available to family caregivers for veterans – but only ones injured after 9/11.
The VA Mission Act, signed by President Donald Trump in June, brings major reform to the VA, including a gradual expansion of caregiver benefits to older veterans.
The VA is in the process of implementing the new law. This week, the agency announced it began taking public comment about creating new regulations for the caregiver program.
The existing caregiver program has faced scrutiny in the past two years, after families enrolled in the benefit complained in 2017 that they were inexplicably being dropped. On Friday, 14 veterans groups – led by The Independence Fund – signed a letter to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie with concerns that VA employees were still downgrading caregivers' benefits without explanation.
As the VA implements the Mission Act, it's an "opportunity to rectify these problems," the groups wrote.
The VA will take public input on the caregiver portion of the Mission Act until Dec. 12.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, also said Thursday that she would be focused on the issue in the new Congress.
Pelosi and Collins received awards at the event for their work for caregivers in Congress. Tom Hanks also received an award. He is the chairman of Hidden Heroes, a campaign for the foundation that brings resources to veteran caregivers.
Hanks has been part of the Hidden Heroes campaign since it started in 2016.
"I'm in for the duration," he said Thursday.
A 2014 study from the research organization RAND Corp. found there are 5.5 million veteran caregivers in the United States, 20 percent of whom care for veterans injured after 9/11. RAND found caregivers face more health problems, strained relationships and workplace issues than the general public.
As more injured servicemembers transition out of the military, more caregivers will need help, Hanks said.
"This marks the start of work that is going to be going on for a generation," he said.

In late 2015, Ann saw the Oscar-winning film Spotlight about The Boston Globe investigative journalists who found proof of a cover-up of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. Even though her situation was not the same, Ann began to think differently about a part of her life she had kept secret. Then came her struggle with whether or not to write about her hidden love affair with a Catholic priest.
Though possessing a career's worth of writing experience and a published author of 2014's memoir Sight In The Sandstorm: Jesus in His World and Mine, Ann shared that writing this book was often painful.
As her editor, Ann and I worked from initial writing through publication. "Wayne got it, and when he didn't, he asked questions and remained encouraging." I facilitated a focus group to lead into final revision, and she credits the stellar panel for their insight and praise. Ann's cover designer Cristina Montesinos, along with fellow authors, friends, and Mort, her husband of 35 years, were positive influences during the two-plus years of process to publication.
Ann always welcomes opportunities to share her book and hear reflections from readers. For details about readings or to inquire about having Ann speak with your group, please visit www.anntemkin.com or follow her on Facebook.
For budding writers, Ann advises, "Just start somewhere. Anywhere. Then just write. Thinking about it comes later.

Q: Detect if Excel 2013 is installed Excel 2010 can be detected by checking the presence of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\InstallRoot in the registry.
It would seem for Excel 2013 that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\InstallRoot doesn't work.
How can you detect if Excel 2013 is installed?

A: The approach outlined here: Where is a reliable registry key to find install location of Excel 2007? still works.
Office 2013 allows you to start using applications in the office suite while the rest of Office installs. The same key works ONLY once Office 2013 is completely installed.

James Comey: 'I am disgusted, I am horrified, I am embarrassed, I'm ashamed'
Former FBI director in Dublin criticises separation of children and parents at US/Mexico border

Former FBI director James Comey has said he was so ashamed by his country's separation of children and parents at the Mexican border that he and his wife had considered telling people they were Canadian on arriving in Ireland.
Mr Comey, who was controversially removed from office by US president Donald Trump, is in Ireland as part of the promotional tour for his book, A Higher Loyalty.
The US has faced mounting criticism for the administration's rigidly enforced policy of placing immigrant children into holding centres away from their families.
"I am ashamed of the way my country has acted with respect of those children. I am disgusted, I am horrified, I am embarrassed, I'm ashamed," Mr Comey said in a public interview in Dublin on Friday.
"My wife and I were joking, not really joking; we wanted to tell the people on the customs line coming here that we were Canadian. And we were joking but it's funny because it reveals a truth: I'm ashamed."
However, he said many Americans felt the same way and there was an historic pattern of reaction to social issues, including the civil rights movement.
"I am horrified by what happened on our border but I wonder if something good might not come from that."
He said the level of illegal immigration into the US was higher than a year ago but the issue was caused by conditions in Central American countries. Parents, he said, were walking 100 miles across the Sanoran desert carrying their children.
In an expansive interview lasting over an hour, the former chief of domestic federal law enforcement addressed, at length, his decisions on how to publicly handle the investigation into former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of an email server. Mr Comey's decision to announce a reopening of that investigation in the immediate run-up to the US election has been blamed, by many, for Ms Clinton's unexpected loss.
Mr Comey, a vocal critic of the president, also spoke about their brief interactions and of Mr Trump being morally unqualified for office. However, he said that despite concerns, the US had a history of political "fevers" and said its long-established systems would prevail.
"They [the democratic institutions] are really hard to change," he said.
"The rule of law is the spine. No president serves long enough to screw that up. Donald Trump, even if he were competent, he could not screw that up."

Why Shares In Renishaw plc Skyrocketed Today
Sam Robson | Wednesday, 23rd July, 2014 | More on: RSW
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over every stock fluctuation, understanding how a business is performing, competing and changing is vital to sensible investment.
What: Shares in Renishaw (LSE: RSW) climbed more than 16% in early trade this morning, following final results from the British engineering company.
So what: Management hailed a record year for revenue, which came in at £355.5m — a 2% rise on the previous year's figure of £346.9m, boosted by a record-breaking final quarter that brought in £107m.
Statutory pre-tax profit soared by 17% to £96.4m (2013: £82.1m), leading to basic earnings per share (EPS) flying up a hefty 27% to 118.4p. Management also raised the dividend by 3% to 41.2p per share, to please shareholders.
However, the current strong pound against this time last year caused the adjusted figures to waver, meaning that adjusted pre-tax profit was actually down 11% against FY2013, and adjusted EPS down 7%.
Now what: Still, these are strong figures; Chairman and CEO Sir David R McMurtry nodded towards the "large, unpredictable revenue… from certain Far East customers", which brought in 11% underlying revenue growth at actual exchange rates, only narrowly behind the recovering UK's 15% (the Americas and Europe saw underlying growth by these measures of 8% and 4%, respectively).
What we, as investors, can take away from this is that a company like Renishaw, with vast exposure to the UK — mooted to be the fastest growing major economy this year, according to the IMF — and the emerging market of China, has the potential to outpace the market substantially.
Sam Robson has no position in any shares mentioned. The Motley Fool recommends Renishaw.
