“Laggies” came and went quickly at theaters – too quickly.

This dramedy doesn’t quite flesh out the promise of an intriguing premise, but the trio of lead actors (Keira Knightley, Chloë Grace Moretz and Sam Rockwell) is tremendously appealing. To read more, visit currentnightandday.com

Columnist Mike Redmond read the other day that the typical user checks his or her smart phone 150 times a day and he thinks that number seems low. Of course, he bases this on his experience as a Redmond college professor whose students have been known to check their smart phones as many as 150 times per class session.

Forum addresses workplace, school violence survival news@currentnoblesville.com

On Jan. 29, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office held a free public education forum on workplace and school violence at the safety Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds.

The goal of the evening was to educate area residents on how to prevent and respond to issues of violence when they occur in the workplace and schools.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the FBI and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have released preliminary data from 2013 which shows that there were 397 fatal workplace injuries in the Clifford United States that were classified as homicides.

“Personal safety is so important. Sometimes people don’t always understand how to prepare.

We think that providing people with information in a meaningful way is vital to their safety,” said Sgt. Bill Clifford, who served as the key speaker for the workplace violence portion of the presentation. “Information is power, and helping people empower themselves is essential.”

With years of study and practical experience in the field of use of force issues, Sgt. Clifford

explained how to prepare for and respond to issues of violence that might arise in the workplace.

Deputy Brad Osswald, a school resource officer in the Hamilton Heights school district shared information about the ALICE program taught in Hamilton County schools. ALICE is broken up into five strategies: Alert: Notify as many people as possible within the danger zone that a potentially life threatening risk exists.

Lockdown: Secure in place, and prepare to evacuate or counter, if needed.

Inform: Continue to communicate the intruder’s locaOsswald tion in real time.

Counter: Interrupt the intruder and make it difficult or impossible to aim.

Evacuate: Remove yourself from the danger zone when it is safe to do so.

“I think the parents and grandparents with children in school systems need to know what’s being taught in schools. We have a plan in the school to help children survive in a violent event.

We feel that ALICE is the best program because it enhances their ability to use their senses to find the ability to survive,” said Osswald.

Meet your teacher, Wendolyn Penn Wendolyn Penn is one of the elementary school teachers piloting Noblesville Schools’ fifth grade 1:1 iPad program. She said she is impressed with how well Noblesville Schools provides opportunities for the teachers to grow in their own professional development.

Grade/school: Fifth grade, Promise Road Elementary Why did you become a teacher? Ever since the first day of kindergarten, I knew that I wanted to teach. I loved everything about school.

I came straight home and set up my stuffed animals in a line. I then proceeded to teach them the lessons I had learned that day. I could not imagine being anything else.

What goals do you have for your students? This year I’ve really focused on my students having a “growth” mindset. I want them to have a passion for learning and embrace whatever challenges their pursuit of learning might bring. In our class, we are not discouraged by failure; instead we call them “learning oppor-

tunities.” We do not settle for “good enough.” We ask, “Is this my best?” Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves and take responPenn sibility for their own learning.

What advice would you give for parents?

My daughter started college this past August.

Leaving her in that dorm room was the hardest thing that I’ve ever done. I know parents of young children hear this all the time, but it’s so true. Cherish the time you have with your children. Time goes by too fast. Put down the computer and phone. Turn off the television. Leave work behind. Spend time, focused time with your child and appreciate every second.

What is something others might not know about you? My father was in the military most of my young life. Because of this, I attended nine different schools during kindergarten through 12th grade. Of the nine, I actually attended four different high schools.

Student teachers High schoolers assist senior citizens with new technology, gadgets

By Mark Robinson • robinson@youarecurrent.com The ever-evolving world of technology can be overwhelming to anyone. Personal computers, smartphones, tablets, apcover story plications are constantly changing, with newer, better, more sophisticated tools becoming available each day.

Understanding how to use those tools can be challenging for anyone, particularly seniors who didn’t grow up with the technology and are often apprehensive about learning even simple tech tasks that could enrich their lives. Who better, then, to teach seniors than a group of savvy, friendly teens who have been immersed in the techno sphere since birth?

That’s the premise behind classes conducted

by Noblesville High School students that take place at Senior Citizens Organizations, Inc. of Hamilton County and at the Hamilton East Public Library-Noblesville. Zack Baker, an NHS junior who started computer programming at age 10, leads a “tech team” of five to 10 students who work with seniors to make learning technology less daunting.

“We just help answer their questions about technology, show them some new apps and things they might be interested in,” said Baker.

“It’s pretty awesome.”

cia Mangan, it was as simple as learning how to take photos or turn up the volume on her smartphone. Others, like DeEtta Burch, needed to learn how to use Skype on her smartphone so she could have video chats with her grandson in Saudi Arabia.

“These kids, each one of them, I could hear them talking with people, and they didn’t care if we didn’t know anything, they talked with us like we were smart,” Burch said. “They did help me and were really good about explaining it. It’s a worthwhile thing for us. They are excellent, excellent people. It makes me really proud to say

COMMUNITY For more information on the classes at Senior Center Organization, Inc. (18336 Cumberland Rd, Noblesville), call 773-6904 or visit seniorcitizensorg.org. For information on classes at Hamilton East Public Library-Noblesville (1 Library Plaza,), call 773-1384 or visit http://nobl.ent.sirsi. net/client/default.

I live in Noblesville.”

Baker explained that the classes began as a required community service project for an NHS class. He and the other students quickly saw the enthusiastic response and have continued with the classes long after the requirement ended.

The classes – which often turn into individual help sessions – are offered once a month at the library and twice a month at the senior center.

“People really love it,” Baker said. “They always tell us how grateful they are. It’s just really cool, the things that we’re doing. We helped one woman use the maps application on her iPhone.

She said she doesn’t usually drive because she gets lost. With the maps app open, she says she can visit her friends in the hospital in Anderson or something. So we actually, really helped her.”

Plans are to continue offering the classes at both locations. That’s good for Phyllis Linenberger, the senior center member who helped organize the classes. She said only about 10 percent of the membership has taken advantage of the classes to date, but that interest is growing as word of mouth spreads about the benefits.

Baker, who has also developed an app that NHS uses for school hall passes, envisions taking the students teaching seniors idea to the next step.

“We’d love to continue it throughout high school and we’d like to expand it to some other places, too,” he said. “There’s a digital learning conference coming up at Noblesville High School where we get students from around the state to come. We’re going to talk to them about what we’re doing here and hopefully they’ll bring some of that back to their own communities.”

“I needed a lot of help and it’s fun,” said Sue Huffman, who attended a recent library session. “… They made everything so easy. I thought, ‘Why didn’t I see that?’”

A Tech Wiz Hey, kid, where’s your hall pass?

Thanks to one of their own, Noblesville High School students can answer that question quickly with a smartphone or iPad. Zack Baker, a junior, developed a software application called PassWhiz that the high school uses to distribute and monitor student passes instead of the traditional paper passes.

Baker created the app for a U.S. House of Representatives initiative that encouraged representatives to support competitions in their home districts for students to develop technological solutions. While Baker’s app did not win for Indiana District 5 (it placed second), he was encouraged with the potential of PassWhiz.

“We saw that it was really promising, so over the summer and the beginning of the next school year, I worked really hard redoing the app and making it sync over the cloud,” Baker said. “So now there’s three apps – PassWhiz Student,

PassWhiz Teacher and PassWhiz Admin. The student can request passes from the teacher and they can manage them on their devices, and the administrators can see where all the kids are going. It works really, really well at Noblesville High School. We’re just ironing out a few little bugs and then we can move it on to the (Noblesville) middle schools and past that to other schools that are interested in using it.”

Baker said other school districts have expressed an interest in using the app, but he’s also looking ahead to his next project.

Baker and Pete Freeman, a noted 2014 NHS graduate and freshman at the University of Notre Dame, are collaborating on a way to gather social content disseminated by Notre Dame students – blogs, podcasts, photos and more – into a one-stop location.

“We’re taking all those Notre Dame students’ content and putting it in one app called the Irish Insider,” Baker explained. “We’re putting the finishing touches on that. We’re really excited about it.”

Pictured: Mitch Brown, left, and Zachary Baker show the app they created at the 2014 Noblesville Schools Learning Showcase on March 12.

The app is used today at Noblesville High School. (File photo)

Extrovert plague

FR O M T H E B A C KS H O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Just the Ticket created for you A bit more than a year ago, Current Publishing produced a glossy insert titled Tables. It was a dining guide encompassing much of Central Indiana. Critically and otherwise, it was a success. We received heavy compliments, and we were grateful for them. Our plan was to have a second edition about six months later. The more we talked to restaurateurs, the more we learned that they liked the annual version best. As time went by, another informal survey was taken, and they told us they wanted more frequency but at a lower price point. So, we went back to the drawing board, and we developed a successor to Tables. It is Just the Ticket, and the first edition of the special section, which we hope to provide quarterly, is included with today’s edition of Current. Take a look, please. You might recall that the content of all our editions is predicated on the results of independent marketplace research. The good folks at SMARI, Inc., did the study, and dining and entertainment clearly we No. 1 among the findings wrought from the statistically reliable sampling. In order to feed the need, if you will, Just the Ticket should prove, we hope, to be the appropriate answer. We focus on dining, certainly, but we’ve also included experiential offerings, for the research tells us, too, that ours is an active community. So, we urge you to read – and make use of – Just the Ticket and to patronize our advertisers, for without them the section would not exist. We also would appreciate you sharing with us any or all Central Indiana experiences you believe your fellow readers need to know about. Those would include the “hidden gems” and, perhaps, out-of-the-way places and events out there. If it occurs to you, we would welcome your thoughts and tips at info@youarecurrent.com.

Cultural omnivore

Commentary by Terry Anker

Growing up in rural Indiana in the last half of the last century meant that one’s entertainment options were severely limited. With less than a handful of reliable television signals, radio was dominant. Wolfman Jack led the irreverent charge late-night. Wasn’t the so-called Dr. Demento another? But the remaining airtime was dedicated to the Farm Report and the local call-in swap show, Trading Post. To be sure, there is high drama in negotiating to exchange a used dryer for a collection of gas station glasses while live. But by in large, we small town Hoosiers had to make our own fun.

Some sang or played instruments. One cousin, a would-be playwright, would force her brothers and me to perform her dramas to our parents. In hindsight, the only good thing about the “shows” is that no one ever bothered to record one. But we came of age eager to be entertained. When the county fair was in town, we’d all go. When the local team played, we were there to cheer.

When our cousin’s “band” was at the Odd Fellows, we’d sing along. When the drive-in movie would change every other week, we’d be first in line for the new flick.

In short, we became cultural omnivores. We learned to appreciate any work (from almost anyone) intended to entertain. Sure, some might say the standards were low; but, the objective was to taste a little of everything – sport, music, art – each got its turn. Perhaps it is because of the many choices, but we seem to be increasingly becoming specialists. A football fan refuses to see a drama. And, a symphony enthusiast misses the joy at Indy Eleven. Wouldn’t it be better if we pushed our boundaries? While it’s good to have favorites, a single food diet can’t be healthy.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

– Bill Watterson

Here’s my new favorite quote: “There is no greater plague to the introvert than the extroverted,” from author Pierce Brown. This so perfectly captures the essence of almost every marital tiff my husband Doo and I have experienced.

Take this past weekend. With my life force nearly drained from a fourteen-hour dance competition on the southeast side, I used the long car ride home to recharge. Darkness, a sleeping ten-year-old, and the smooth vocals of Peter Cetera softly playing in the background, had this introvert feeling fine by the time I arrived home. Then I walked through our door and was bombarded with bright lights, loud music, the distinct odor of garlic and a dining room table piled high with back-packs, an assortment of hair accessories and a plastic blue air cannon (because we simply cannot find a place to store that thing!). Unwilling and frankly, unable, to cope with the sudden change from my peaceful mini-van interior to this obnoxious sensory overload, I hastily retreated to my sanctuary, the master bedroom.

But when I flung open the door, I discovered Doo plus two kids sprawled out on the nowunmade bed watching “Transformers TwentyNine” at theater-level volume. And because the last vestiges of patience had deserted me after my daughter’s third (third!) awards’ ceremony of the day, I couldn’t keep my thoughts to myself. Luckily Doo was in a good mood, and didn’t take the bait. He knows a mommyon-the-edge when he sees one.

Under normal circumstances though, the confrontation would have spiraled into an argument over whose needs are greater. And it all comes down to the fact that we are classic examples of an introvert and an extrovert. I equate happiness to beach reading, dimmer switches and nine-to-eleven hours of sleep, while Doo finds rejuvenation in rave music, laser-light shows and constant interaction with as many people as possible. Our “vertisms” should have kept us apart, and yet I think it’s those very differences that keep us together.

So yes, when I’m trying to go to relax at night and Doo opens his laptop, turns on Archer, and begins reading The Economist with the help of every overhead light, I do feel like he’s unleashed my own personal evening apocalypse. Just as I’m sure my manic obsession with a vampire-like lifestyle grinds his gears. But it works for us. I ensure that our children get to bed on time and that we don’t blow the electricity bill, while Doo makes certain I nurture friendships and occasionally leave the house. He’s definitely my plague, but in a good way.

Peace out.

Some tips for opening some bubbly with any budget

By Chris Bavender • news@currentnoblesville.com

It’s a sound often associated with romance and celebration champagne corks popping and bubbly spilling into a glass. But for many, knowing what to buy for that special occasion - such as Valentine’s Day - can seem daunting. drinks “The best and most popular is Champagne and Prosecco from Italy which can range from $10-$500.

The key thing is to decide how sweet or dry you would like your sparkling wine to be and what you are using it for,” said BethAnn Kendall, wine and food manager for Vine & Table in Carmel. “If it’s for cocktailing you still want a good quality sparkling but not spend too much where as if it a special occasion you’ll want something a little more special.”

Champagne actually refers to the wine region in France - 90 miles northeast of Paris - that produces sparkling wine, according to Kendall.

Kendall “Only wine from this region can be called champagne - everywhere else is sparkling wine,” Kendall said.

When it comes to the budget conscious, Kendall said a top seller you can’t go wrong with is Maschio Prosecco Brut.

“It’s $12.99, dry and balanced, perfect for any occasion whether it’s toasting to celebration or mimosa’s in the morning,” she said.

“Naveran Cava Brut has amazing aromatics and is bursting with fruit at only $15.49.”

For those with a little more to spend, Kendall recommends Veuve Clicqout.

“The history of the winery dates back to 1772 and they have eight winemakers to ensure the taste and quality is the same every vintage so you always know what you are getting,” she said.

“Ayala Brut is a 150-year-old family owned and operated winery that is harder to find but outstanding champagne.”

If money is no option, however, Kendall said the best and the most expensive come from Champagne, France.

“They only make vintage champagne in good vintages so that really sets a standard on the quality of the grapes. It’s generally smaller production. Vintage champagnes are special because they are aged for a minimum of three years although a majority age it for 10 years prior to release,” she said. “Dom Perignon 2003 is our most popular vintage champagne. Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D’Or 2002 is another great vintage champagne. This bottle is most often called the ‘golf ball bottle’ but the story is that Nicolas was Tip: Champagne should never explode. If it does, that most likely means it’s too warm and needs to be chilled for 2-3 hours.

enamored with an opera singer and would travel the world to hear her sing at different venues.

This wine was made in honor of her and the unique bottle style was to look like pearls, something she always wore.”

When it comes to bubbly, how you present it is key.

“Start by removing the foil, put your thumb on the top and untwist the cage. You want to hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle and twist from the bottom of the bottle,” Kendall said. “Never letting your thumb off

the top of the cork.”

While you often see champagne “exploding” in the movies when it’s opened, Kendall said that definitely should not happen.

“Champagne explodes when it’s too warm or shaken,” she said. “Although I think the sound of a cork popping does set the tone for a celebration.”

But with such endless choices, you’ll likely be happy no matter what bubbly you end up pouring in your glass. After all, as Dom Pierre Perignon said when he first tasted his creation - “Come quickly! I’m tasting stars!”

Best-selling champagnes at any budget include: $ Naveran Cava Brut - $15 $$ Veuve Clicqout - $45 $$$ Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D’Or Vintage 2002 - $135

Ballerinas to open with ‘Birthday’ performance March 1 The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble, a pre-professional ballet company based in Carmel, is pleased to announce that it will present “Birthday Variations,” choreographed by Gerald Arpino, at its Mixed Rep production on March 1 at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. CIDE was selected by the Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey Foundation to have Arpino’s “Birthday Variations” staged

last August. Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey are the founders of the Joffrey Ballet.

Suzann DeLay, CIDE’s artistic director said: “This is the first time an Indianapolis area company has been asked by the Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey Foundation to stage a performance.

We are very honored and excited to present ‘Birthday Variations,’

and it is quite appropriate as it is our 15th anniversary season.”

‘39 Steps’ Hitchcock meets hilarity

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentnoblesville.com What do you get when you combine four actors and 40 character roles?

Actors Theatre of Indiana resident professional theatre comedy company of The Studio Theater at The Center for the Performing Arts, will present the two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award winner, “The 39 Steps” now through Feb. 15 at Ermel The Studio Theater.

Based on the 1935 film thriller, “The 39 Steps” mixes a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, adds in a dash of Monty Python and the result is a sheer comedic brilliance,” Kristen Merritt, director of McCabe marketing and business development for ATI said. “Four actors who, against all odds, masterfully and hilariously play over 40 characters ... sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye!”

Richard J. Roberts will direct Lisa Ermel, Don Farrell, Ian McCabe and Logan Moore in this madcapped Hitchock remake.

Roberts said one of the reasons people should see the play is because it’s hilarious.

around the nation. It’s a great story with a twist of suspense and a splash of romance mixed in among a lot of laughs,” Roberts said. “It’s a chance to see four terrific actors making the most out of every opportunity to entertain you.

You’ll have a really good time.”

The variety of theatrical elements makes “The 39 Steps” special too.

“It’s a wonderful concoction of movies and theatre. It’s takes a classic movie by Hitchcock, the master of suspense, Farrell and turns it into a very funny stage comedy,” Roberts said.

Remove the open door policy Commentary by CJ McClanahan

If you have an “open door” policy and allow people to wander into your leadership office without an appointment, you fall into one of three camps: • You don’t have enough work to do.

• Your work is boring and you crave interruptions.

• You are a social being and need to interact with others every 15 minutes.

You’ll notice that I didn’t include “Great leader who is always there for his team.” That’s because a leader with an open door policy is almost always being selfish.

Productivity killer Distractions and interruptions (aka – open door policy) probably make you feel like an effective leader. Unfortunately, every single time you allow someone to pop their head in the office and ask a “quick question” you get the following consequences: • Your focus on a task is interrupted. (There is a truckload of research that indicates it takes between seven and 21 minutes to get refocused.)

• You discourage your staff from figuring out problems on their own.

• You add hours to your work day.

• You struggle to prioritize because you allow every interruption to be important.

You might as well apologize now Open door leaders (who have a lot to do) end up working late every night and on weekends because they are unable to focus throughout each day. They can’t wait for 5:30 p.m. because it means they can actually get some work done.

There is a cure Lucky for you, there is a remedy for this ailment.

But, it’s not easy. In fact, for many, shutting the door will be a little depressing in the beginning.

To be successful, you’ll need to follow these three simple concepts: • Connect with the reward. You need to build a strong emotional connection with goals or you will give in to the temptation of interruptions.

• Reset expectations. When you first shut your door you will likely have some ultrasensitive team members who think you are mad at them. You may need to consider an office wide memo telling everyone that when the door is shut you are focusing on an important project.

• Reflect. End each day by asking yourself the following question – “How could I have improved the way in which I managed my time?”

Don’t panic I am not suggesting that you lock yourself in the office from 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., only leaving for bathroom breaks. Nor am I recommending that you avoid eye contact at all costs and only speak to others when it relates to the task at hand.

Business should be fun and you should have close friends in the office. These are people that you get to know personally and invite to your home for a BBQ. But, when an important task is at hand, you need to focus. If they really need something, they know where to find you.

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” So goes the iconic TV spot, featuring older adults calling for help after a fall. Though fictitious, seniors the TV scene reflects a common predicament that likely has impacted someone close to you.

According to the CDC, one in three adults age 65 or older falls each year, affecting just about all families. In fact, falls are the leading cause of open wounds and fractures, often robbing older adults of their independence.

I see plenty of patients with fall injuries, especially during winter months. Most often, they’ve suffered wrist, ankle and hip fractures - the latter presenting considerable problems for older adults.

The devastating part of a hip fracture is recovery, because many patients lose independence, at least temporarily, and need to go into a rehab facility or nursing home. In some cases, they

never recover that independence. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, most fall fractures happen in the home, stemming from daily activities like walking on stairs, going to the bathroom or working in the kitchen.

The culprits: slippery or wet surfaces, poor lighting, inadequate footwear and clutter. Throw rugs are particularly dangerous. They get bunched up and people commonly trip on them.

Prevention starts with minimizing hazards in the home.

I also recommend weight-bearing exercise, like walking, on a regular basis, to maintain muscle mass and balance. Also, mind your footwear: Wear non-skid soles and ditch high heels.

Mixing up ‘censure’ and ‘censor’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Hello, dear readers! It’s time for another round of “Mixed-Up Grammar,” starring Grammar Guy word pairs that get misplaced, misused and all-around abused in the English language.

Our contestants today: “Censure” and “censor.”

You know the word “censor.” As a verb it means to ban or otherwise suppress “unacceptable” parts of a book, movie, famous Italian statue – whatever someone finds offensive at the moment. As a noun, it’s the people who take all the fun away from network television.

“Censure” we don’t see as much.

It means “to criticize strongly,” and most often pops up in political contexts. The most recent U.S. congressman to be censured was Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel in 2010 – putting him in the company of the likes of U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy and U.S. Rep. William D. Bynum, censured in 1890 for “unparliamentary language” (the only Hoosier delegate Congress has ever censured, as it were).

Interestingly, despite the serious

political polarization our country has seen on occasion, only one U.S. president has ever been censured.

Can you guess who? (If you guessed Calvin Coolidge you’re … not a very good guesser.)

Where these two words get confusing is that “censuring,” at least in the congressional context, does include some amount of censorship, as censured lawmakers temporarily lose their committee memberships and, thus, a lot of their access to the media. However, censorship is not part of the actual definition of “censure.”

A final note on “censorship:” If you’ve been prevented from publishing or saying something because another person found it objectionable – that’s censorship. If you’ve been criticized after the fact – that’s life.

Oh, and the only U.S. president ever censured? Andrew Jackson.

Imagine that.

Tower of Belém: Lisbon’s style setter

Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

www.divittowrites.com

By 1500, Portuguese seafarers had explored the western coast of Africa and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to India, bringing new ideas and images back to Europe.

Travel The iconic “Tower of Belém,” near where the explorers departed, reflects this unprecedented “Age of Discovery.”

The “Tower of Belém was begun in 1513 when Portugal’s King Manuel I ordered a fortress built on a small island in the Tagus River to defend Lisbon’s busy port. The king also wanted to salute the Order of Christ, successor to the banned Knights Templar, which had financed many voyages of the Portuguese explorers, including those of members Vasco de Gama and Bartholomeu Dias. The limestone fortress, completed in 1519, comprises a hexagonal bastion facing the river, with openings for cannons on five sides, and an adjoining tower, with a chapel and a room for the king.

The two-part structure, officially named the “Tower of St. Vincent” after the patron saint of Lisbon, combined images collected by Portuguese explorers from around the world. The silhouette of the four-story tower section evoked temples of eastern India. The twelve melondomed turrets for small arms and a loggia with seven arches supported on columns drew on Moorish designs. Representations of exotic animals, including what is said to be first rhinoceros

seen in Europe, were carved below the turrets.

Crosses of the Order of Christ and pyramidcapped designs copied from Moroccan city walls served as merlons. Nautical rope, manifested in stone, bounded the bastion and tower.

The bastion employed more than thick walls for protection. A large statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus faced the river from above the cannon openings, seeking to dissuade enemy ships from firing toward the bastion. The strategy failed. In 1580, Spanish forces under the Duke of Abla captured the fortress and used it to house Portuguese prisoners.

The eclectic style of the Tower of Belém became known as “Manueline,” after King Manuel I, and is considered a transition between Late Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The fortress itself is now a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most photographed structures in Portugal.

Four flooring ideas to better the bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

For most people, the bathroom is where the day usually begins and ends. And one major element that plays a role in creating a comfortable, luxurious environment is the indoors flooring. Flooring is such a key part of any design scheme because of the sheer amount of space it takes up.

Additionally, choosing the right bathroom flooring material also requires an eye for practicality because of the amount of moisture, heat and wear that will inevitably occur.

Ceramic – Tile is currently the most popular of all bathroom-flooring selections for a number of reasons. It’s easy to clean, fairly resistant to harboring germs and durable enough to uphold against heat or water contact. The most popular types of tiles are ceramic and porcelain or stone.

Ceramic tiles are created from clay that is fired at high temperatures to create a hard, water resistant surface. These tiles are available in numerous designs, and are extremely durable (although they can possibly crack or break if they are not installed properly). Instead of being fired, porcelain tiles are made from pressed clay, which means they are more durable and water resistant. Porcelain tiles can be found in numerous styles and colors, and often at a very reasonable price range. If you are going for a classic or rustic look, stone tiles can add a natural beauty to the space. And of course, stone is so

durable that it can be installed in outdoor areas as well. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of the different tile materials when selecting a flooring design. When creating a tile design, you can add visual interest by creating patterns, varying the sizes or incorporating various shapes together.

Glass accents – Glass tiles can be integrated along with other tile materials into countertops,

backsplashes and bathroom floors. You can even use glass to create tile borders surrounding the shower, tub, sink or other areas that you want to stand out.

Heated floors – Tile flooring is easy to maintain, visually eye-catching and available in countless design options. But because of its physical properties, tile can often feel cold underneath your feet. That’s why radiant (or heated) flooring can be an excellent addition to your bathroomflooring plan. Flooring can either be heated using an electrical, or a water circulation system to warm the floor from underneath. Heated flooring is not a cheap option, but can add luxury to your bathroom (especially during these cold, winter months).

Kid-friendly options – Kids have a knack for making watery messes in the bathroom. So you’ll probably want to select bathroom flooring that’s equipped to handle spills. Sheet vinyl tiles are water resistant, but can be slick when wet. Look for a design that features an anti-slip texture if you are concerned about safety. You could also go with ceramic or laminate tiles, but be sure to choose a waterproof caulk to seal the flooring.
