BIRDING in the Hudson Valley
OUTDOORS: Great Birdwatching Spots
Thanks to the John Burroughs Natural History Society for the information on birding in Ulster County.
Find out more at www.jbnhs.org
We can all identify at least a handful of birds. The ubiquitous crow, the noble bald eagle, or the elegant red cardinal come to mind. But as you start to think about it, or better yet as you start to pay attention to the birds around you, the sky is the limit on what we can discover about birds.
A great first step to birding in the Hudson Valley is the purchase of a Northeastern United States field guide. Every time you spot a bird, find out what it is and mark the page to remember that you've seen that species in your yard. Then when you're ready, head out to one of the below birding sites to see for yourself where a variety of birds congregate. Remember to check local hunting season dates to make sure you're dressed appropriately.
The Great Vly
The Great Vly, on the Ulster/Greene County line north of the Town of Saugerties, is a large freshwater marsh bordered by rock cliffs and wooded hills. Osprey, golden eagle, American bittern, blackbirds, and 30 species of warblers pass through The Great Vly during spring migration. Common nighthawks assemble in small flocks to rest and feed over the open marsh. Common and black terns have been observed in migration. Woodcocks, swamp sparrows, rails, and herons nest here, along with three species of vireos, warblers, and other woodland birds. In late summer and early fall, unique floating mats of vegetation provide good shorebird habitat.
Directions: From the village of Saugerties drive north on US 9W through the hamlet of Malden to West Camp. Turn left (west) at West Camp Road and continue 1.2 miles to the short (unpaved) access road on the right, flanked by posts with NYSDEC signage.
Bristol Beach State Park
Bristol Beach State Park, in the Town of Saugerties, provides views of the Hudson River. Migrating passerines and waterfowl follow the river inland during spring and back to the coast in the fall. Among summer nesters are eastern bluebirds. Scan the river from an elevated parking area and walk quietly out on the peninsula to the south end, checking for waterfowl in the cove on the west side. Exposed mudflats in the cove attract herons, egrets, and shorebirds during low tide in late summer and early fall. Winter activity will vary based on ice conditions: watch for unusual species of gulls and a diverse array of waterfowl at first ice-out in late winter. Bald eagles may be seen throughout the year.
Directions: Take US 9W north from the village of Saugerties; turn east onto Emerick Road (opposite Lauren Tice Rd) in Eavesport, just before entering West Camp. Follow Emerick Road 0.6 mile to the park.
Kingston Point
Kingston Point includes Kingston Point Beach and Kingston Rotary Park on the Hudson River. From late fall to early spring, look for ducks, gulls, and bald eagles on the Hudson River and in the lagoon. Shrubbery around the edges of Rotary Park and the adjacent BMX course provide cover for winter sparrows, finches, and Carolina wrens. A loop trail from Rotary Park to the intersection of North Street and Delaware Avenue follows reconstructed trolley tracks and an old railbed, providing views toward the Rondout Lighthouse, across the mouth of the creek to Sleightsburg Spit, and into a shallow lagoon that was part of the Victorian-era Kingston Point Park.
Directions: From US 9W in Kingston, follow Delaware Avenue east and downhill until it ends at the Point. Park at the Beach (turn left) or by the BMX course.
Sleightsburg Spit
Sleightsburg Spit, in Port Ewen, is a park on a narrow spit of land on the south side of the mouth of Rondout Creek. Vireos, warblers, and orioles nest in the canopy of deciduous trees. A large stand of cattails on the south side of the spit that attracts marsh wrens and least bitterns can be reached by canoe or kayak at high tide. In late summer, large numbers of great blue herons and other wading birds congregate in Sleightsburg Bay at low tide.
Directions: From US 9W, just south of the Rondout Creek bridge, turn east at the traffic light and head north and downhill; turn right onto 1st Ave. for one block; left onto Everson St; and then right onto a gravel drive to the boat launch parking area. A foot trail leads east along the spit.
Esopus Meadows
Esopus Meadows, in the Town of Esopus, is a shallow underwater shelf of the Hudson River offshore of Lighthouse Park and Esopus Meadows Environmental Center. Emergent river vegetation nurtures insects, small fish, and other food species that attract wading birds, waterfowl, and swallows during migration. In winter, look for ducks, bald eagles, and great cormorants. The adjacent forest is a 100-acre Scenic Hudson preserve. It is a magnet for warblers and other passerines migrating along the river. Summer nesters include worm-eating warbler, Louisiana waterthrush, and scarlet tanager. Five species of woodpeckers remain all year. More info: scenichudson.org. SEE A VIDEO on visitvortex.com
Directions: From US 9W in Port Ewen or Ulster Park, turn east onto River Road. Park at the Environmental Center at 275 River Road or the Lighthouse Park next door.
Burroughs Sanctuary
Burroughs Sanctuary, in the Town of Esopus, is the site of Slabsides, the rustic cabin retreat of the famous late 19th and early 20th century naturalist John Burroughs. The Sanctuary consists of 192 acres on a wooded hillside, with a few short trails and a large pond. Migrating passerines visit in the spring; lowland woodland and "edge" species—wood thrush, scarlet tanager, eastern bluebird—nest here. Osprey, indigo bunting or bald eagles visit the pond, which is also a good place to study dragonflies and damselflies. The Sanctuary is open dawn to dusk daily, all year. More info: jbnhs.org
Directions: From US 9W in the hamlet of West Park, turn west on Floyd Ackert Road; cross the railroad tracks, go 1/2 mile and turn left onto Burroughs Road. Go 3/10 mile up the hill and park along the road near the entrance gate.
Overlook Mountain
Overlook Mountain Wild Forest is a 590-acre area within the Catskill Forest Preserve. A two-mile long route climbs to the top of the mountain where there is a fire tower and a restored firewatchers cabin. Migrating and nesting warblers and other montane species can be seen and heard along the red-blazed route. On weekends in good weather, the top of the fire tower is open and there are exhibits in the firewatchers cabin.
Directions: From SR 212 in the center of Woodstock, take Rock City Rd then Meads Mountain Rd north for two miles to the trailhead parking at the crest of the hill.
Slide Mountain
Slide Mountain, at 4,180 feet, is the Catskill's highest peak and the site of the original discovery of Bicknell's thrush. The peak is reached via a moderately difficult 2.8-mile foot trail. At higher elevations there is an extensive balsam fir/red spruce boreal forest where Bicknell's thrush, Swainson's thrush, blackpoll warbler, white-throated sparrow, and yellow-bellied flycatcher nest. The lower elevation deciduous forest hosts numerous species of breeding thrushes, warblers, woodpeckers, and scarlet tanager, winter wren, and yellow-bellied sapsucker. Crossbills, pine grosbeaks, and rarely boreal chickadee are potential winter invasion species. More info: nynjtc.org
Directions: Take SR 28 west of Kingston to Big Indian. Turn left onto CR 47 and continue 8.5 miles through the valley and uphill. After a hairpin curve, look for the Slide Mountain parking area on your left just past Winnisook Lake--which is the headwaters of the Esopus Creek.
Vernooy Kill Falls Trail
Vernooy Kill Falls Trail in the Sundown Wild Forest in the Town of Denning, provides hiking access to Vernooy Kill Falls and to Balsam Swamp, a unique and extensive balsam fir/mountain laurel swamp and sphagnum moss bog. A 1.8-mile walk from the Upper Cherrytown trailhead crosses two streams and gains 600 feet elevation to reach the falls. There are two other trailheads: one from Yeagerville Road in Greenville, and another from Trails End Road. Balsam Swamp is nearer the Greenville trailhead. Blackburnian, black-throated blue, Canada, yellow-rumped, and hooded warblers nest in the laurel and hemlock thickets along the trail. Veery, hermit thrush, yellow-bellied sapsucker, and several species of vireos and flycatchers breed in the surrounding forest. Northern waterthrush, white-throated sparrow, and dark-eyed junco breed in the swamp. SEE A VIDEO on visitvortex.com
Directions: At the traffic light in Kerhonkson, on US 209, turn northwest onto Clay Hill Rd. Go 1.5 mile and merge left onto CR 3 for 1/10 mile. At the Pine Grove Resort, turn left onto Cherrytown Rd, following the current route of the Long Path (aqua blazes). In 3.7 miles, turn left onto Upper Cherrytown Rd and continue for 3.1 miles to the NYSDEC parking lot on the right. The trail, following the Long Path, starts across the road.
Mohonk Preserve
Mohonk Preserve, on the Shawangunk ridge west of New Paltz, spans 6,600 acres in adjacent corners of the towns of Gardiner, Rochester, and Marbletown. It is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the Shawangunk ridges and habitat. Its trails are open to members and visitors. The day use fee for nonmembers is $9. There are several areas of the Preserve that can be especially rewarding for bird-watching. The open fields at Spring Farm have a large population of nesting indigo buntings. Duck Pond hosts many woodland and "edge" species of warblers, plus wood thrushes, scarlet tanagers, and, usually, an Acadian flycatcher. More montane species, like slate-colored juncos, blackburnian warblers, eastern flicker, and winter wrens, nest on the north-facing slopes of Rock Rift. The ridge now supports nesting peregrines, ravens, and black and turkey vultures. From September to November, there is a Hawk Watch on the Near Trapps ridge. Info: mohonkpreserve.org. SEE A VIDEO on visitvortex.com
Directions: The Visitor Center for Mohonk Preserve is located on US 44/NY 55, about 1/2 mile north of the western terminus of SR 299. Maps and information can be obtained there, or by calling 845-255-0919, or at www.mohonkpreserve.org. Guests of the Mohonk Mountain House Hotel have free access to the Preserve's trails.
Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary
Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary is on the floodplain of the Wallkill River at the western edge of the village of New Paltz. The sanctuary, owned by the Huguenot Historical Society, is open to the public. There is a pleasant trail (which may be flooded after heavy rains) through the grassy meadow and stands of water-loving trees. Marsh species—sora rail, snipe, Empidonax flycatchers, and even a sedge wren—have been found here. Orioles and common yellowthroats nest. In the fall, many sparrows visit the Community Gardens in the Sanctuary. On autumn nights listen for great horned and screech owls. Bluebirds and woodpeckers stay all winter. More info: jbnhs.org
Directions: Heading west through New Paltz on Main St. (SR 299), turn right (north) just before the bridge over the Wallkill River. Go one block on Huguenot St, take the left fork toward the water treatment plant, and park. Walk north along the river about one block to enter the sanctuary.
Shawangunk Grasslands NWR
Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge is on the site of the old Galeville Airport in the Town of Shawangunk. The refuge is part of the Wallkill River NWR and is managed for grassland species of concern and for protection of the watershed of the Wallkill River. Bobolinks, eastern meadowlark, eastern bluebird, upland sandpiper, and vesper and Savannah sparrows nest, as historically have grasshopper and Henslow's sparrows. Winter brings rough-legged hawks, northern harriers, and short-eared owls. In early spring, American woodcocks perform their twilight courting flights. More info: shawangunk.fws.gov
Directions: From SR 299 west of New Paltz, turn south on CR 7 (Libertyville Rd and then Brunswyck Rd) to CR 18 (Hoagerburgh Rd). The entrance and parking area is on CR 18 between Long Lane and Bates Lane. Also, drive through nearby Blue Chip Farm on Bates Lane, about 1.5 miles south via CR 18, to look for Longspurs and Horned Larks in winter and for Red-headed Woodpeckers all year.

Award-winning illegal alien arrested
A young woman from the former Soviet Union, whose family sought and failed to win asylum in Norway when she was still a teenager, was in custody on Thursday and threatened with deportation. Maria Amelie won an award last year for her struggle as an illegal alien, and protests were brewing over her sudden detention.
Maria Amelie's book, which translates to "Illegally Norwegian," has been selling well, according to VG Nett. PHOTO: Pax Forlag
Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported that Maria Amelie was taken into custody by eight police officers around 11pm Wednesday night, after she had given a speech at, ironically enough, the Nansen School in Lillehammer, named after one of Norway's most famous humanitarians and asylum advocates Fridtjof Nansen.
Amelie, age 25, published a book last year entitled Ulovlig norsk (Illegally Norwegian), about what her life has been like as an undocumented resident of Norway. She had quickly learned Norwegian after arriving in the country in 2003 and despite her lack of papers, had completed high school and college with high marks and studied at university in Trondheim, obtaining a master's degree in science and technology, according to her publisher Pax Forlag. The weekly magagzine Ny Tid (New Times) had honoured her with its Årets nordmann ("Norwegian of the Year") award in December.
Norwegian authorities, however, now want to send her back to where she came from, believed to be North Ossetia in the former Soviet Union, which her family fled 13 years ago. A police spokesman told NRK that Amelie was arrested because she has resided in Norway illegally for many years, and a new evaluation of her case by the state panel deciding whether to grant asylum, Utlendingsnemnda, determined that she must leave Norway.
(See a video of her arrest on NRK here – external link, in Norwegian.)
NRK reported that she was taken to the Trandum asylum center in Ullensaker and would be formally charged Thursday afternoon.
Her case is politically awkward for both the government and opposition parties in Parliament. Government coalition party SV, which favours liberal asylum laws, finds itself all but forced to defend her pending deportation because her appeals had been denied. For the conservative Progress Party, which long has urged restrictive asylum and immigration policies, Amelie has been a classic example of an immigrant who rapidly integrated into Norwegian society and is eager to make a contribution. She has won broad support among the public, following the release of her book, with one well-known hotel owner in western Norway writing in a letter to the editor of newspaper Aftenposten this week that she wished she could adopt Amelie, so that she'd be allowed to stay in the country.
Amelie's parents also reportedly remain in Norway as illegal aliens, and face the threat of arrest and deportation as well. Circumstances of their flight from the Caucasus remain unclear, and the family was first rejected for asylum in Finland before heading for Norway. Authorities in both countries found no justification for their asylum claim, and felt they were in no danger back home. Amelie has never been willing to disclose exactly where home was, or from who or what they were fleeing. At this point, though, returning to the Caucasus will be like going to a foreign country, since Amelie was underage when they left and has never lived there as an adult.
Amelie herself had written in a commentary in Aftenposten earlier this month that she felt both relief and fear after openly telling her story last fall. She wrote that she felt like she "wasn't a person," rather "an illegal," and "I risk getting the police at my door, with their latest rejection of me in hand and a half-hour to pack up my things before I get put on a plane," she wrote.
Instead the police seized her outside the Nansen School, on a cold winter night in the city that once hosted the world at the 1994 Olympics. NRK reported that a protest over her detention was planned for 5pm outside Norway's Justice Ministry.

Rock Star Tri: My journey back to the endurance world frequently interrupted by life : Why going to the bike shop can be dangerous.
Before my race last weekend (race report pending) I had an issue with my aerobars. I went to the bike shop to see what could be done. The problem was solved with new bar extensions but I was able to walk around the store unsupervised.
The crew at the shop needed to build the bike and I ordered a Quarq power meter for it too. All that came in and I just picked up the bike. I plan in riding it this weekend for Gran Fondo NY.
PS: When we left the bike shop after I ordered the bike my daughter asked if we could stop at the book store so she could get some books. I told her books are really expensive and we should go to the library instead. She looked at me oddly and said, "You just bought a bike. Compared to that bike, books are not really expensive. What would we spend on books, $20? How much did that bike cost?" I had no retort.
That's hilarious! Your daughter had you for sure. I hope you went and bought her a few books :) Nice new bike.....I hope for a new bike next summer!
Sweet! Little drool on the keyboard right now!!!
Your daughter nailed you dead to rights!
That daughter is too smart for her own good! Nice new ride Joe. Good choice.
Yes but you can't ride your book up that hill.
Your daughter is too smart. She should stop reading. | {

"Wonderful! Opened my eyes to a new perspective."
STAMP – Theatre and Media Productions CIC develops new productions with academics and artists across the globe, to create new theatre and digital content.
By using primary qualitative research as a springboard for each production, we create new performance that asks questions, shares insights and encourages debate. Our science theatre and media productions aim to inspire, stimulate and fascinate.
Based in Coventry, in the heart of England, we work with a broad range of academics and Universities worldwide. It is the synergy of our award-winning Artistic Director Claudette Bryanston, Executive Director Professor Gillian Hundt and award-winning Digital Creatives Catherine Elliott-Kemp and Ben Robinson that makes each production unique.
Welcome – STAMP: Theatre and Media Productions combine scientific research with art and digital production to bring unique experiences to diverse audiences.

WNET Whalen & Snyder – Whalen
January 27, 2018 January 7, 2020 Simon Pettet
Continuing our spotlight on vintage tv, WNET's extraordinary USA Poetry series. Today (this weekend) , Philip Whalen and Gary Snyder
Philip Whalen (1923-2002)
The only printed biography of the poet Philip Whalen is very brief. It reads, "born Portland, Oregon, October 1923, US Army Air Force 1943-1946, Reed College, Bachelor of Arts Degree in Literature and Languages, 1951."
[Editorial note – this is in 1965 – the posthumus biography, Crowded By Beauty by David Schneider, appeared in 2015]
Although Philip Whalen is frequently identified as a poet of the Beat Generation, the character of his life and work has little resemblance to the sensational publicity that has become associated with the term "Beat".
PW: Oh, I work all the time actually. That's one of the curses of this poetry that you don't get a day off, are working every day, and most of the night (because a lot of the time I'm dreaming things and I will write them down later and put them into a story or into a poem). So it's a twenty-four-hours-a-day job and it goes on all the time.
Frequently Philip Whalen's books contain pages from his notebooks and examples of his excellent calligraphy
PW: "Your attention gets scattered with boiling tea water, or with worrying about the war, or about a hundred million other things, and you wander away from what I think of as being the basic necessities or basic realities, of existence. I walk, usually every day, and go out through Golden Gate Park, or go out downtown to the Library, or walk down to North Beach and see people there, or walk up here on the hill to the top of Mount Olympus to look at the weather and look at the light. I love the light here in San Francisco, the way it flattens out across everything and lights it up from different angles, and the way the whole landscape changes when the clouds go over it."
"You don't start being a poet, you get born that way. That's it. – Poeta nascitur non fit, (or whatever Mr Horace said about that). I suppose that the first.. one of my first poetical experiences was that of having my appendix burst, and having an emergency operation, and being in the hospital for the first time. And having an ether vision of.. of great enlightenment, and also a physical experience of light as itself, and a feeling of the total.. an odd feeling of total.. the total meaningfulness and rightness of existence, and.. So that was one thing that has happened.
Another thing that happened was a.. was some sort of small satori vision, or what not, one day when I was, oh, four years old. I came into the room where my toys were usually kept and there was sunlight coming through French windows onto a hardwood floor. And there was something about the relation between those windows and the light and the floor and the closet where the toys were, that all made a funny kind of poetical breakthrough to my head that I always remember. And it also connects, of course, with that ether-vision that came a little later. And that, and a lot of other experiences without any other.. without ether or anything else – just.. just this walking around and looking at things. and listening to people. and watching.. watching the world and… have all, have all gone into a habit of hearing and seeing that.. is the basis of poetry (or is, actually, poetry, because, after all, poetry is a description of this high kind of…consciousness, and this understanding, I think). And, with any luck at all, when the person reads the stuff, he'll get some feeling about that existence, or about that understanding, or about that excitement."
"I often use a reading to test out poetry that I've been working on recently. And, quite often, I'll read brand new things at a reading that hadn't been published (or sometimes they're not even typewritten yet, I'm still reading from hand-written manuscript) to see… to see if the poem is really there or not, and to see also whether it gets across to an audience, or to a prospective reader, what-not. Also, it tests out on my own ear that way. And, ultimately, all my poems are an ear-thing. So I hear them internally, and compose them (they compose themselves, and I compose on them), so, it's like music is done, I suppose."
The California Palace of the Legion of Honour is a San Francisco museum that has many of the wors of the French sculptor,Rodin Since this location is more or less on the Whalen walking route, it's not surprising that he's written a poem titled "Homage to Rodin". The poem was published in 1962 in the magazine, Foot.
[At approximately six minutes in Whalen reads "Homage to Rodin"] – ("THINKER" /in the classic peristyle/ Shows up in old New Yorker cartoons, appears in some houses as plaster book-ends…."……"why/Do we insist "There is nothing we can do" – . II – LandsEnd – "The Shades" – "I won't go to the park today informal prospects groups of noble/trees…"…."She plunges, laughing, through a wave" – III – Waterliles (and Iris) – "Fog washing past Mt Sutro Parnassus the Medical School a mirage/that city in the sea…"… "Summer flesh and winter bronze , opposite season of a single earth.")
In 1959, Philip Whalen was asked to write a statement about his own work. The result was a press release titled "Since You Ask Me"
[At approximately thirteen–and-three-quarter minutes in, Whalen reads "Since You Ask Me"] – "This poetry is a picture or graph of a mind moving, which is a world body being here and now which is history..and you. Or think about the Wilson Cloud chamber, not ideogram, not poetic beauty: bald-faced didacticism moving as Dr. Johnson commands all poetry should, from the particular to the general (Not that Johnson was right – not that I am trying to inherit his mantle as a literary dictator but only the title Doctor, i.e., teacher – who is constantly studying). I do not put down the academy but have assumed itts function in my own person, and in the strictest sense of the word – academy: a walking grove of trees. But I cannot and will not solve any problems or answer any questions/ My life has been spent in the midst of heroic landscapes which never overwhelmed me and yet I live in a single room in the city – the room a lens focusing on a sheet of paper. Or the inside of your head. How do you like your world?

There are plenty of people who would be happy to buy a monograph about the work of Marian Bantjes. In the first six or seven years of her relatively late-blooming career as a designer-illustrator-typographer (see Reputations, Eye 72) she has made enough original work for several lifetimes: collaborations with illustrious designers; editorial illustrations; pro bono posters; a celebrated typeface; lettering for famous brands.
I Wonder is not a monograph but, in Bantjes' words, 'a book of ideas', a generous collection of essays lovingly typeset, illustrated, laid out and produced in a manner that resists a quick glance, a skim read or any easy generalisation or summary. This is 'slow print', in which Bantjes' mind-bogglingly detailed type and lettering forces the reader to spend time with this elaborate yet welcoming book.
In addition to Bantjes' own custom fonts, hand-lettering and titles made from leaves, pasta, granola, etc, there are typefaces by Henrik Kubel (who also lent advice to Bantjes), Xavier Dupré, Peter Bilak, Alejandro Paul and many other stars of type design.
The roots of such a publication may lie in the expressive graphics of the 1990s and in the experimental, postmodern constructions of type and image (and type as image) that were thought to have lost impetus by the end of the twentieth century.
The graphic design firmament is still full of 'authored' work in which the designer has little to say, or where the writing doesn't match the typographic ambitions – you often feel that the content is a first draft, neglected while the author gets on with the more important business of styling it up. I Wonder is undeniably obsessively stylish but its contents are by turn informed, witty and, in the case of the chapters about 'Memory', movingly personal. There is also a 'love letter' encrypted in a pattern-making code font (mb-cipher) for the essay on 'Secrets'.
Yet there is a level of personal disclosure (not to mention some trenchant cursing) that you don't necessarily associate with such elaborately decorated manuscripts. Two chapters deal with memory and the aftermath of her mother's death in 2006. One is about sorting out family photograph albums – does one choose the faded colour prints or the more 'true' negatives? – while the other portrays 'Mum's Brains', a notepad in which June Bantjes documented recipes, messages, pets and people.
But though Bantjes considers the voice of her book to be 'older, wiser and a little less gum-cracking than before', there is a bracing mix of tomboy fun and gentle warmth that springs from each gilded page. | {

Jody Rasch is a New York City area-based artist whose work is based on themes from astronomy, biology, physics and spectra. The artist has been exhibiting his work nationally for over 25 years. Duality–abstraction and representation, the literal and the metaphorical, science and mysticism, the unseen and the seen–is a predominant theme in Rasch's work. An expression of both the patterns of the natural world and the metaphors underlying modern science, his art allows us to see the beauty in the repulsive, to find knowledge in the unknown, to observe the unseen to more clearly see our world. By exploring the invisible, Rasch invites the observer to look beyond the "seen" to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the "unseen." His art challenges us to explore the world around us.
"Art is science made clear."
– Jean Cocteau (1889 -1963) French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, visual artist and critic.
Science has influenced and inspired artists for centuries. In the twentieth century, Kandinsky, for example, incorporated imagery based on amoebas, embryos, and larvae in his work from the 1930s onwards (e.g. Surroundings, oil on canvas, 1936). Picasso was influenced by science and the dimensionality of space and time. Albert Einstein had an enormous influence on a wide range of art movements, including Dadaism, German Expressionism and the Bauhaus, Russian Constructivism, and the Surrealism of Salvador Dali[1].
Scientific knowledge and images inform our worldview. Science brings us a landscape that was invisible to previous generations. It can show us the depths of an atom, the inner workings of our bodies and the complexity of our universe.
My work looks for a deeper meaning behind the scientific images and brings up fundamental questions on the nature of our relationships within our society.
The images in this article illustrate two important and recurring themes in my work: healing and thought.
The Healing series shows how the body heals, and, in a broader sense, how, as a society, we need to heal ourselves in the same way. Some of the works show the slow process of the cells in the body working together to repair itself, while others show the individual white blood cells that guard us against outside infections. | {

One of the key symptoms when you have Endometriosis is Pelvic Pain. It plagues you daily and yet somehow we don't really know why we have pelvic pain and more importantly how to reduce it. Here are 10 Reasons I believe we have Pelvic Pain. I have provided links to articles which will help you reduce pelvic pain for each point.
Endometriosis causes cells to grow in places where they should not be. The body recognises this as a problem and so it sends out forces to try and deal with it. The area becomes a focus point, which means the body sends additional healing to the area. It is like when you cut yourself, everything rushes to the area to heal it. If this means it needs to swell up to get blood to the area, it will do that. The same happens with Endometriosis. Here is an article I wrote about Inflammation and Endometriosis which will help alleviate it for you.
Our bladder becomes inflammed just as easily as our bowels do, which just adds to pelvic pain. Most of us probably suffer from Interstitial Cystitis. When our hormones are out of balance it actually affects our bladders lining at the same time. Ever noticed how your IC is worse just before your period? I certainly have! When the bladder becomes inflammed it also causes pelvic pain in the abdominal area, even in areas which don't seem related to the bladder.
The more pelvic pain you experience, the more likely it is that the Endometriosis is growing and developing further. This is a key symptom after all in deciding on whether things are getting better or worse with your healing. The more cells forms, the more the body will try and heal and send further messengers to try and reduce the problem.
We have two types of Prostaglandins which work together that relate to Endometriosis. There are the ones that reduce inflammation and clotting and there are the ones that increase it. When we don't have the necessary foods and supplements the body needs to supply the good prostaglandins, it is forced to use the bad prostaglandins which cause clotting and inflammation. All that inflammation is felt in the uterus, bladder and bowels which inevitably leads to more pelvic pain for us.
Have you ever noticed that when you sit still all day, that the feeling of bloating and swelling is much worse? Does it hurt to move because you have so much pelvic pain? This is because there is no movement in the abdominal area! Even though it feels too sore to move with all that pelvic pain, it is important to get the blood flowing and encourage oxygenation in the area. Just get up and touch your toes 10 times as you lift up each time and you will notice an instant improvement.
Doesn't it feel like there is something just sitting in your abdomen you just want to yank out? Like there is some massive lump or thing in there? According to Chinese Medicine our condition is called a stagnation of blood or Qi Blockage. It is possible to stimulate the flow of Qi to the area to allow the blockage to move out. That blockage is often directly linked to an emotional attachment, according to the Chinese, so it is worth focusing on healing those aspects within yourself to alleviate abdominal pain. | {

Governments don't tax for the money they need, they find need for the money they get!
Never were truer words spoken and Mr. Reagan reiterated that quote in a speech he recorded about 50 years ago that is right now becoming a sensation on You Tube.
50 years ago, the subject of socialized medicine was a hot topic, just like today, only today they call it health care reform.
50 years ago, certain elected officials in Congress were preying upon the guilt of Americans, saying that socialized medicine was absolutely necessary to prevent people from being denied the health care they need, just like today, only today, they call it health care reform.
50 years ago, the idea of socialized medicine was floated again after being soundly beaten down by Americans during the Truman Administration a few years earlier, just like today, only today they call it health care reform, which was beaten down by Americans a few years ago during the Clinton administration.
50 years ago people were concerned that socialized medicine would take away their freedom to choose their own doctor, just like today, only today, they call it health care reform.
50 years ago, doctors were concerned that socialized medicine might infringe upon their ability to practice in the city or region of their choice, or perhaps interrupt their income, just like today, only today, they call it health care reform.
50 years ago, the memory of the great depression and the pain of war were very much on the minds of Americans when socialized medicine was proposed, just like today, only today they call it an economic downturn and health care reform.
When To Wean and How Much, How Fast?
Like weaning a baby off the bottle or weaning a brand new puppy, there comes a time in life when total dependence on someone or something has to end.
supports for the US economy.
deposits with the central bank.
But the Fed has a very tough balancing act if they move too quickly to raise rates. The entire economic implosion can be directly traced to the housing boom, bubble and bust and the housing market is just…beginning to slowly creep back…and only in some parts of the country…in many places, the bust is still …..a big bust.
What about people with adjustable rate mortgages who may be upside down in their homes, owing more than they are worth, but continue to persevere, because the payment is still relatively affordable…?
What happens if rates start climbing and more people start walking away from those homes and their obligations?
Can you say, right back to square one?
It is, at best, a dicey period of transition and the government will no doubt try to back off of their involvement in the economy in one area, while trying to increase their involvement in another.
calls to restrict trading at large financial institutions and you can easily see why Wall Street has been behaving like a scared rabbit the last couple of weeks.
To wean or not to wean…that isn't the question…the real question is when…and how fast and by how much?

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Moscow will retaliate over the Canadian government's support of legislation that would impose sanctions on officials from Russia and other nations deemed guilty of human rights violations, a Russian official said on Thursday.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Wednesday the government backed a draft bill allowing for the seizure of assets and property of foreign officials responsible or complicit in extrajudicial killings, torture and other crimes against whistleblowers or human rights activists.
The bill, which was proposed by an opposition legislator and is almost certain to become law, is inspired by the case of Sergei Magnitsky, an anti-corruption lawyer who died in 2009 after a year in a Russian jail.
"We deplore this unfriendly move by the Canadian government which will surely damage our bilateral relations and will not be left unanswered," said Vasily Kultyshev, a spokesman for the Russian Embassy.
In an email, he lamented what he called "another repetition of failed confrontational policies towards Russia".
Canada already has cool ties with Russia, which Freeland and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have repeatedly condemned over its 2014 annexation of Crimea.
In 2012, the United States adopted a law freezing any U.S. assets of Russian investigators and prosecutors said to have been involved in the detention of Magnitsky. In retaliation, Moscow barred Americans from adopting Russian children. | {

Unlike most other Cloud Computing platform services, which are tied to particular cloud providers, Cloud Foundry is available as a stand-alone software package. You can, of course, deploy it on Amazon's AWS, but you can also host it yourself on your own OpenStack server, or through HP's Helion or VMware's vSphere.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides only a base infrastructure, leaving the end user responsible for platform and environment configuration necessary to deploy applications. Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are prime examples of IaaS.
Since it's easy to become a bit confused when thinking about cloud platforms, it's important to be able to visualize exactly which elements of the compute ecosystem are whose responsibilities. While there is no precise definition, it's reasonable to say that a platform requires only that you take care of your applications.
Fast application development and deployment.
Highly scalable and available architecture.
Reduced chance of human error.
Not only can Cloud Foundry lighten developer workloads but, since Cloud Foundry handles so much of an application's resource management, it can also greatly reduce the overhead burden on your operations team.
Integration with various cloud providers.
Read more on Cloud Foundry Components here.
Although Cloud Foundry supports many languages and frameworks, including Java, js, Go, PHP, Python, and Ruby, not all applications will make a good fit. As with all modern software applications, your project should attempt to follow the Twelve-Factor App standards.
Integration with external logging components like Elasticsearch and Logstash.
Role-based access for deployed applications.
Provision for vertical and horizontal scaling.
Support for various IaaS providers.
Before deciding whether Cloud Foundry is for you, you'll have to try actually deploying a real application. As I already mentioned, to set up a suitable environment, you will need an infrastructure layer. As of now, Cloud Foundry supports AWS, VMware and Open Stack. Setting Cloud Foundry on top of VMware might not be the best choice for us since we'd probably prefer to avoid the extra complexity. Instead, we'll work with Pivotal web services (PWS).
PWS provides "Cloud Foundry as a web service," deployed on top of AWS. You'll just need to create an account and you'll automatically get a sixty day free trial. Getting started isn't a big deal at all.
Once you've created your account and set up the command line interface tool, you'll be ready to deploy your application. We're going to use some static files, which means we'll need one folder and a few html files. Make sure there's an index.html file among them.
Normally, deploying static files requires a webserver like Apache or Nginx. But we're not going to have to worry about that: the platform will automatically take care of any Internet-facing configuration we'll need. You only need to push your application files to the Cloud Foundry environment and everything else will be taken care of.
Username (the username you used to log in to your PWS account).
Password (the PWS password you created).
Organization name (any name will work).
Space (select any space where you want your application to be deployed).
Once successfully logged in you will be able to run Cloud Foundry commands using cf. Start with cf help to check all available commands.
You will want to verify that the app is running by using the URL generated from the output of the previous step. There's more information on hosting a sample static file in Cloud Foundry. | {

ZTE Hawkeye might get improved specs
ZTE Hawkeye
After toning down the initial hardware specs announced for this handset, ZTE plans to improve at least a few highlights and has set up a poll that allows those interested to choose what they want, so the Snapdragon 835 might be back in the game after all.
Codrut Nistor, 01/23/2017
Android ARM Smartphone Leaks / Rumors
Although it has some excellent handsets on the market, ZTE is not doing great overall these days, mainly due to the company's market share drop in its home market. However, ZTE Hawkeye promised to become one of the best crowdsourced handsets ever released back in the early days of its funding campaign. Unfortunately, most specs have been toned down in the meantime, and now ZTE tries to fix this problem.
The first features and specs mentioned by ZTE included a generous battery offering around 4,000 mAh, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 GB RAM, HiFi audio, eye tracking capabilities, an adhesive back, and more. Sadly, the recently announced "final" list of specs and features only included a Snapdragon 625 chip, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, a 3,000 mAh battery, and no mention of an advanced audio decoding solution.
The poll recently posted by ZTE offers the following options:
Swap the Qualcomm 625 for the 835? (48%)
Swap the 3000 mAh Battery for a 3500 mAh? (10%)
The OS would be Stock Android with added software for eye tracking? (13%)
The remaining 30 percent go to users who have other suggestions. Some of those that ZTE should take into consideration include a 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage setup, the use of a MediaTek Helio X30 or Helio X35 processor, Bluetooth 5.0, cameras with image stabilization, or the use of pure Android with eye-tracking features, without any skinning. It is also worth mentioning that those asking for rather high-end features are also willing to pay for them, so maybe ZTE should consider bumping up both the price and specs of this handset.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.

Yizkor, Book: On Yom Kippur, Offering a Blessing for the Life and Death of Books
On Yom Kippur, a day of remembrance, offering a blessing for the life and death of books
By Joshua Cohen
(Ron Regé Jr.)
Yizkor, meaning "remembrance," is a prayer said four times a year: on Yom Kippur and Shmini Atzeret, and on the final days of Pesach and Shavuot. On Yom Kippur you ask forgiveness of sin; on Shmini Atzeret you close indoors the New Year's reflection, asking for a greater outdoors to come, for good rain ensuring good harvest; on Pesach—commemorating the Exodus—you celebrate freedom from enslavement; on Shavuot—commemorating the giving/receiving of the law—you celebrate the culmination of that freedom in a more positive indenture—to the commandments. After which, on all four days, you remember.
It's a telling textualization of Judaism that it's not a sacrifice or magical act but the embalmed formality of Yizkor—"May God remember the soul of my father/mother, who has gone on to his/her reward"—that has become the primary communication between a living person and his or her deceased. Talmud tells us that the soul, though eternal, is subject to conditions that can be bettered—death cannot be worsened—through two responsibilities undertaken by a surviving heir: charity and righteous deeds. Yizkor enacts one—prayer as deed—while promising the other: "I shall give charity on my father's/mother's behalf."
Zealous in our memory, we should be equally zealous with regard to our memorious technologies. By which I mean we mourners assembled to pronounce this rare prayer should be more charitable toward the fate of the book from which we read it (the word for that book is Mahzor, meaning "cycle"). The quasicyclical scroll was cut for the supersessionary codex, or book, whose materials have been sliced free, into omnimateriality, for screens (whose ancestor, the parochet or "veil," screened the offerings of Judaism's first worship). For modern Judaism, however, the codex—which began mass production in the late 1400s, the period of Europe's most extensive Jewish expulsions—must be the terminant technology, unless electronic tablets, on which all information is egalitarianly accessible and divinely transitive, are to be raised above the congregation.
Keeping faith with the consolations of cycles, of recurrence (Mahzor's root is chzr, meaning "return"), is the last ritual practice of a Judaism that has abandoned the Sabbath and dietary strictures, God and afterlife, etc. Such a belief, solely in the regulating merit of belief, is embodied not only in the Jewish books—read septennially, annually, monthly, weekly, daily—but also in books in general, if they are read not as commodities, rather as enduring resources (that timeless calendar, the canon).
Only last week, avoiding shul for Rosh Hashanah, I reread Rosenzweig's Star of Redemption, Buber's letters, read the Internet. What did I find? The Death of Books! The End of Books! Today—if you read what is written today—all books seem to be "memory books" ("yizkor buch," which is Yiddish, indicates a volume memorializing the dead of a particular shtetl or region ravaged by the Holocaust, e.g., the Sefer Marmarosh, which catalogs the names of my cousins in an area including Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine, or the Sárospatak Book, which lists the names of closer relatives from Hungary).
Remembrance, at every instance, threatens an ultimate recursion: We remember so regularly until we're only remembering we're remembering. It's not just the Internet. Recent print media seem to consist entirely of pieties about the death of print media and the inevitable ascension of the digital. Just as our prayerbooks seem to consist entirely of prayers that—though they're said to be, should be, dedicated to saving our and our relations' souls—spend the preponderance of their sentences and stanzas mortifying man and praising God. Unwilling to praise or mortify, incapable of salvation, following Rosh Hashanah I wrote the following Yizkor for bookery. Epigraphs as epitaphs, they comprise a page to print and slip between the relevant pages of your Mahzor—for when memory becomes too painful because too rote, or too remote from Yizkor's words (just as all contemporary words have become too remote from their inscribing).
May there never come a future in which a secret can be hidden in a book.
May there never come a future when a child will have to search for what a book is on the computer. For what a book was.
Once books go and with them, covers, may we still find meaning in the words binding and bound.
May we still find comfort in the margin.
Consider the archaic English: boke. As in Chaucer, at the conclusion of Canterbury Tales, disavowing "the boke of Troilus, the boke also of Fame, the boke of the five and twenty Ladies, the boke of the Duchesse, the boke of Seint Valentines day of the Parlement of briddes." It's like book, only in past tense.
Blessed is the page, for it is more fraught than the screen. Reading a page, you always know there's a page you're not reading just on the other side.
Blessed are the bookmarks: (personal) envelopes, pencils and pens, an ermine's baculum, my father's/mother's expired driver's license, a scrap of a dead neighbor's ex libris on which I scribbled the word bibliothanatos, (historical) Mao had bookmarks produced featuring his sayings, "Be serious, be active," bamboo bookmarks from Nepal, cornhusks from Czechoslovakia, American bookmarks manufactured as advertisements for Heinz in the warty shapes of pickles. Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) first popularized bookmarks. The term now characterizes a computer function that holds a webpage detailing the life of Elizabeth.
Consider Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. Leave it to the goyim to end with Apocalypse. Moses and YHVH—our earliest professional writers of fiction—and even the deity's amateur "son," who only wrote once, one illegible word dug into sand (John 8)—would never have allowed it.
Reward with a girlfriend my friend H., a junior librarian from a fine family of Los Angeles. His recent email mentions his databasing nearly 30 books called "The Last Book," or a variation on that title.
Grant the justice/splendor of the smell of books, which is merely the smell of dust. This, like all sameness, instructs in mortality. After the book is composed, it decomposes. That (and other reasons) is why there are multiple copies.
Grant the meek/radiant feel of books (haptics is the current term): the texture, the heft in hand. Note for posterity that if you closed your eyes and ran your fingers over a page you could tell which parts of that page were blank and which held ink. Words were palpable, words felt palpable, until the advent of recycling and digital printing (blot forever the 1990s).
Find repose among the taste of books. Find peace from, in a singularly impractical coinage, their "mannaism." It's said that monks poisoned the pagetips of forbidden books to punish their readers. It's said that rabbis placed honey there at the tips to encourage students to lick and go forward. To lick and proceed. Consider however that when the lesson was finished and the book was shut, the honeyed pages would stick together. Consider however that such slavish adherence to factuality would be our own destruction. Woe to the generation that cannot tell stories. Woe to the generation that cannot be told stories.
Joshua Cohen was born in 1980 in Atlantic City. He has written novels (Book of Numbers), short fiction (Four New Messages), and nonfiction for The New York Times, Harper's Magazine, London Review of Books, The Forward, n+1, and others. His first essay collection, Attention: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction, will be released in August. In 2017 he was named one of Granta's Best of Young American Novelists. He lives in New York City.

This was quite interesting especially the historical information on the 'book'. However I would have focused more on the subject of , especially at this time of year, Holy Books and and what they truly are. So far as I can tell they are still vital to religious services that most Jews still either regularly or occasionaly participate in.
The Mahzor is not going away soon, nor is the Siddur, nor are sets of Mishnah or Gemara.
The people of the Book will I believe want and need the Book for a long time to come.
Warren Adler says:
Excellent article. But in the end content is content is content, however delivered to the reader.
To tempt the wrath of a thousand Annie Hall quotes and to paraphrase Marshall McLuhan, the medium is at least part of the message. It isn't all content.
That said, " the embalmed formality of Yizkor—"May God remember the soul of my father/mother, who has gone on to his/her reward"—that has become the primary communication between a living person and his or her deceased." Really? Something tells me that Mr. Cohen has never buried anyone important to him.

His is intended for Auslander…but his comments were clsoed out.
Typical screed from Auslander- a self-proclaimed intellectual- though I have NEVER read one piece from him that was even close to being semi-literate. Another reminder why i rarely bother to read the crap that Tablet puts out and another reminder why i ought to just cancel the damn thing.
Henry Hollander says:
Don't mourn for the printed book. We are in the midst of a transformation in the way that information is transmitted. BILLIONS of dollar are being put into the destruction of the printed book. This is not being done for aesthetic reasons. It is being done for profit. When the technologist's money managers tell them that enough money has been spent they will relent in their furious propaganda campaign. We will have reached the new normal. On the other side of the transition the printed book will remain, humbled, but vital. The king is dead. Long live the king.
Nostalgia and sentimentality are the cruder forms of memory. These attitudes linger on in some people's attitudes towards the printed book. I try not to mock these emotions or to wallow in them. The author, for the most part, steers clear of them and perhaps is pointing the way towards some of the ideas that will form the cluster of values that will animate the culture of the printed book after the vandals have been sated.
The author of the article makes a pass at what a Jewish post-digital book culture will think like. I believe that Jewish book culture is not the same as the book culture of the larger world. I expect that when we reach a new book culture in the larger world that our Jewish book culture will retain a distinctiveness. We'll see.
I plan to atone this year even though I don't believe in God and don't follow Jewish custom. What are good books to read while meditating on the desire to do better as a human being that don't involve recourse to God? A reading list for the secular atonement? Because God it gets boring just sitting there, thinking, and not eating.
@David – I don't know about books, but I think one of the best movies about atonement is The Royal Tenenbaums – at least it is celebrating its 10 year anniversary and is funny. Books, try the Short Stories of John Cheever which seem to be all about disappointment and, I suppose, can be read as a form of self-reflection, if not atonement.
Gertrude says:
What's the relationship between Yizkor and Yiddish?
Hulu Plus Referral Code says:
Did you design the site this well with the default page tools? Your layout is incredible.
soccer direct says:
The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to read, however I really thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix in the event you werent too busy looking for attention.

Vastavam web: It is well known that Tollywood personalities like Krishna, ANR and Rama Naidu set up film studios in Hyderabad after the film industry was shifted from Madras. The government of Andhra Pradesh has invited Tollywood to set up film studios in and around Vizag and also promised to provide tens of acres for this purpose. 'AVM' is also planning to establish a studio in Vizag. Foundation stone will be laid by Chandrababu Naidu. | {

Four New Schools Open in 2017
For the first time Internationella Engelska Skolan has opened four new schools in one year - with Landskrona, Helsingborg, Södertälje and Årsta bringing the total number of IES schools in Sweden to 34.
The new schools will grow over several years but are already educating 1,600 students, bringing the total number of students currently learning with IES to 24,000.
The organisation also held its largest ever event for staff as more than 700 newly-employed colleagues gathered together in one place, at KTH's Aula Medica, to learn more about the company.
IES Landskrona is the first ever brand-new school that the organisation has opened, after a project in partnership with landlord Hemsö and Landskrona municipality saw the construction of a custom-designed school, next to the municipality's new sports hall, in the up-and-coming area of Borstahusen.
This is also the first time that IES has opened an F-9 school, welcoming seven-year-olds who will learn with IES all the way through until they are ready for gymnasiet.
Mr. Fredrik Alvarsson (pictured above, left, with IES Landskrona Principal Mr. Chris Nilsson and the captains of all four houses) , who is in charge of development for the project's landlords, Hemsö, spoke in front of students in Landskrona as he donated 10,000 SEK for them to choose recreation facilities for their student lounge.
He said: "We have planned and built this school over the past three years, to create the best possible environment for you, so that you can learn as much as possible every day and become the best students that you can by the time you graduate from grade nine.
"We also wanted to give some money to you, and we will hold a contest for your houses. The house that wins the contest will decide what the money will be spent on."
While the school in Landskrona represents two important firsts, it is only one of several schools which is opening this year, and each of them is the focus of the excitement of the staff and students attending.
Speaking at the opening in Helsingborg, a new 4-9 school in a refurbished building with certified historical significance, the founder and vice chairman of IES, Ms. Barbara Bergström, said. "For me it is an incredible honour to stand here this morning and welcome you to Internationella Engelska Skolan in Helsingborg. I address you with a huge amount of humility, I understand that you as the parents are entrusting us with that which is most special in your lives, your children, our students. It is a tremendous honour for all of us. Mr. Andersson and his staff with their enthusiasm, their dedication, their passion for learning, will take this honour extremely seriously. The school is not anything without you, our students, and their parents. We treasure the confidence that you have given us this morning and for the years to come."
Each new school commemorated its opening according to IES tradition, by planting an apple tree, and cutting a ribbon to mark the school open.
At the first of the four opening ceremonies, for a new 4-9 school in Årsta, the principal, Mr. Julian Dent, said: "It is my honour to stand in front of you and open the 31st IES school in Sweden. The team has worked extremely hard to get this done and welcome you here today. We are very excited to have all the students here finally.
"Almost a quarter of a century ago a few kilometres away in Enskede, Ms. Bergström started the first IES school and from there, dare I say, we have revolutionised Swedish education. We invite you students here to command the English language. We want to prepare you to go out there in the world. That is why we have teachers from 11 different countries, teaching students here at this school."
A t the opening of the school in Södertälje, also for years 4-9, the principal, Mr. Johan Öhman, said: "When I was hired as principal of this school, in my first interview I said 'As always with IES the expectation is set to a high standard. The expectation of continually high standards gives us great inspiration to provide all students with a first-class education.' That is why I took this job, it is a choice of education to achieve excellence. Students, I believe in you all, each and every one of you can achieve beyond your own expectations, and believe me, when you do, it's not only fun, it creates strength, you will be self-aware, and self-confident."

A Proud Day As Year Nine Students Graduate
As the summer holidays approached, students in year nine at schools across Sweden prepared to bid farewell for the last time.
For those attending Internationella Engelska Skolan, the event is marked by a grand occasion, a graduation ceremony featuring distinctive caps and gowns, where the achievements of students are honoured.
As well as speeches and awards, the ceremonies also feature music and joy, as proud parents witness their children passing a milestone and moving on to new challenges.
Mr Robert Clark, Principal of IES Enskede, addresses the graduating class
At Internationella Engelska Skolan Enskede, the original IES school, principal Mr Robert Clark spoke to his departing year nine students.
He told them: "A few months ago I got everyone together in the hall, but there weren't so many parents here, and we sat and I said - 'Pretty soon you are going to be wearing these gowns and you are going to be asking yourselves the questions: Am I satisfied? Am I happy? Did I do my best? Am I going where I need to be?' and you listened, you have worked incredibly hard. I would like you to put your hands together for the teachers, because they have, not just this year, but in the years before, they have worked really hard for you.
"You have done fantastically well, I have very much enjoyed your company and interacting with you, I am very proud to have been your principal during your years at this school. There are some amazing people in this room, and I am so sure that you are going to do great things, and I will be following you with interest."
Year nine graduate Felix Persson (right), formerly of class 9E at IES Enskede, won the school's Ambassador Award for the contribution he has made to the atmosphere in the school.
After the ceremony he said: "It was fun, it was nice to end, but I am also bit sad leaving friends and changing schools. Now I will be changing schools, moving away from English school and wrapping up having gone to the English school for six years.
"I was surprised to win an award, I didn't count on winning anything but it does fit, I like helping people and keeping people together, talking to different people."
IES Lund, which opened three years ago celebrated the graduation of its first ever grade nine class.
Mr Per Ola Olsson, Principal of IES Lund, speaks to his graduating class
The principal, Mr Per Ola Olsson said: "We have shown excellent results in both the grades and the national tests. It has been a successful year and I would like to thank all the students but especially my hard-working staff, who have made this possible. I really would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to all you who work at IES Lund, teachers, non-teaching staff, supervision, administration and student care, all of you who contribute so much to making this a great school."
The graduates and the assembled crowd in Lund were also addressed by their student representative (left), who said: "I am really honoured to be the one holding the valedictorian speech of 2016. I am so excited to be standing here in front of all you people, my name is Beata Erici and we have just finished ninth grade. Gathered here around me today I see my lovely classmates, we have worked so hard these two years and are now just looking forward to summer, and sun and the ability to use our phones again. I can still remember those first awkward days when we all met, we were so worried about speaking English, dressing appropriately and pronouncing Mr Neppelberg's name correctly that we completely forgot that we were just a bunch of insecure teenagers."
After the summer a new set of grade nine students will step forward for the first time, ready to make the most of their last year with IES before it is their turn to graduate next summer.

So, You Want to Start an Escape Room Business? A Continuing Series.
This is the second article in a new series for people thinking that they might want to open an Escape Room business. This week we dispel some myths and offer advice.
The Escape Room business is experiencing exponential growth, and that's no lie! The Facebook groups for Escape Room Startups and Escape Room Owners is a thriving community with owners and soon to be owners from around the world. The lively discussions are a great source for inspiration and exchange of ideas. These groups are also a great place to find lessons learned from people who have been in this business from nearly the beginning. Recently, AJ Hughes, owner of Escape Room Tucson prompted a great thread in the Escape Room Startups group with her suggestions for 20 tips for new or possible escape room owners.
1. Create original games or buy really good games. There are some great sellers and bad sellers, pick a good one, don't go for the cheap one to save money. Your game is how you make money, it has to be good and fun.
Caveat Emptor is the principle that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made. Ask questions of your soon to be supplier. Get testimonials from other buyers and find out if they are satisfied with the products. Games can be VERY EXPENSIVE ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. If you buy a plan that you don't understand, or worse yet it is written in a language you don't understand you may throw thousands of dollars, Euros, Francs, or Deutsche marks away.
Research, research, research!!! Do your homework and you won't get burned by a poorly written game plan.
2. Know that you probably won't have a lot of booking for your first three months.
Alas, this is so true. When we opened Cracked it! Escape Games a year ago, our town did not have an escape room. We were the first. We were the third company in our region and awareness of escape rooms by the masses was near zero. I won't say that this is the case for every Escape Room business that opens, but it is true for most. There are some extremely lucky businesses that have great market penetration before they open and have created a buzz. However, that is a rare instance. Most of us have to work extremely hard to get those first customers in the door. This is not a business where if you build it, they will come necessarily applies. A year in we still have people say to us every day, we didn't know you were here. Open your doors expecting a slow start, be happy if you are met with a rousing reception.
3. Have enough capital to run your business for 3-6 months with no income coming in.
According to the Small Business Administration, one of the top reasons that businesses fail is lack of operating capital. You absolutely need a cushion between you and failure. Here is a personal example of how tenuous your success or failure may be. We exhausted ALL of our startup capital getting our business open. We opened with exactly $965 in our operating account and we had the confluence of two major financial obligations looming. The first was our rent on our building, the second was Payroll. We were fortunate that we did make enough to cover the rent during the first week we were open however, payroll was an issue. We wrote a check out of our personal account to deposit into our payroll account and write the checks. Fortunately we picked up momentum but had I not had a good paying job at the time we would have been screwed. Having 3 months of operating expenses on hand would have eased this situation significantly.
4. Have money set aside for advertising, a lot.
You cannot open an escape room and hope that people will just find you. You have to constantly be marketing and advertising. What's the difference you say? That question is beyond the scope of this article but there are many, many books and articles that can help you figure it out. You MUST set aside a portion of your monthly operating capital to pay for advertising and marketing. The U.S. SBA recommends "As a general rule, small businesses with revenues less than $5 million should allocate 7-8 percent of their revenues to marketing. This budget should be split between 1) brand development costs (which includes all the channels you use to promote your brand such as your website, blogs, sales collateral, etc.), and 2) the costs of promoting your business (campaigns, advertising, events, etc.)" You may say I can't afford that, I say you can't afford not too.
Where you spend those dollars is entirely up to you. Facebook, Google, Instagram, Newspapers, Radio, Billboards, Direct Mail and the list of options goes on and on and on. It can be very overwhelming and EXPENSIVE! There's a saying that When times are good, you should advertise. When times are bad, you MUST advertise. Do no advertising and marketing and see how quickly people come and find you. In a small market like mine I am constantly told how people didn't know that there was an escape room in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
5. Don't copy other companies in your area. It's a d**k move, be original.
As Wheaton's law states, "Don't be a d**k." There's a saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, yeah, not so much. There will always be some small similarities between escape room companies because we all provide the same service. However, plagiarizing ad copy, lifting images from their website, using their press releases word for word and various other offenses is a d**k move. It also smacks of a lack of creativity and integrity on the part of the plagiarist. You should do everything in your power to differentiate yourself and stand out from the crowd. What makes our business unique in a sea of similar businesses. What is your Unique Value Proposition? Identify that and promote that.
6. Don't steal ideas from other owners, unless you ask. Be original.
Most of us start as escape room enthusiasts and are bitten by the bug. We grow a strong desire to open our own business when we see the possibilities that are out there. We are inspired and our imaginations run wild with ideas. Then we take a leap of blind faith and open our businesses, many of us on a whim and having no prior experience or knowledge on how to open, manage and grow a business. Then we realize that we are not creative, innovative or original and we may have jumped into the deep end of the pool but we don't know how to swim. While this is not true for the majority of us, there are a certain element who when faced with a dearth of ideas may be tempted to visit other escape rooms and rip off their ideas and implement them in our own games. DO NOT DO THIS! Directly ripping off your neighbors is, well, un-neighborly and can lead to bad blood between businesses.
The great thing about this business is the creativity of it's owners and the willingness to share ideas and yes even offer assistance to make that really cool prop. If you doubt what I say stop into the Facebook group Escape Room Technology and Props group and ask a question. Don't know how to code? Ask and you will receive help. Don't know how to build an analog prop? Ask and you will receive help. All you have to do is ask.
7. Don't buy cheap locks or props. Spend the money the first time otherwise you'll spend 3x the amount replacing it over and over.
Again, Caveat Emptor. If you buy cheap props they will inevitably break during a crucial part of a game making the experience less than awesome for your guests. This makes you look like an amateur. Sure it's costly on the front end to pay top dollar and have high quality design, props and puzzles. The last thing you want in a business like ours is to develop a reputation of low quality and cheapness. It will undo all of your work very quickly.
8. Have a backup of everything.
When that crucial game piece gets dropped and broken you MUST have a go to backup. If you have a fancy electronic prop and it fails (note: it will) ensure you have a workaround ready to swap in immediately. Have a contingency plan ready for that game piece that accidentaly walks out of your game in someones pocket (it happens). Have spare batteries for those flashlights. Have duplicates of paper clues ready. Have replacement directional locks if you use them. This cannot be stressed enough, the last thing you want is a bad review because there were items in your room that were broken, didn't function properly or were just worn out. Again, this will make you look like an amateur and you will develop that reputation as a low end experience and hasten your own businesses demise.
9. Test, test, test and then test, test, test again.
Play testing your game must be a priority! Even if you bought a room design from a reputable designer your facility may not be compatible with your scenario. The only way to find out is to run groups through (FOR FREE! Never presume to charge your playtesters for the experience of playing a beta version of your game) and find out where the bottlenecks occur. Are there people standing around looking bored? Is the game flow a mess? Is your fancy $4000 sarcophagus laser puzzle aligned so that it triggers the smoke and mirrors? The only way to know is to test, test, test, adjust, and test, test, test again.
10. Don't use other companies/competitors names in your ads. You're intentionally trying to deceive players, bad move.
Much like ripping off someone else's games and puzzle design is bad, using your competitors names in your ads is just shady. Trying to leverage neighboring businesses that have been open for some time longer than you to help you climb in search rankings smacks of desperation. It also leads to bad relations between businesses. One of the primary truth's about this business is that we thrive off of referrals from other escape rooms. Just like people here don't know that Cracked it! Escape Games has been open for a year now, they also don't know that there are other escape rooms like mine in neighboring towns. We constantly refer people to our "competition" we have their promotional material in our lobby and we mention them when we are walking people out. | {

This article is a followup to "Advice From A Therapist: 8 Rules For Talking About Money With Your S.O.," which provides basic advice on how couples can keep calm during financial discussions. Check it out here for more.
"Status," said my soon-to-be husband as we sat side by side on the squishy couch in our premarital counselor's office. "Of the four ways people relate to money, I guess for me it's status. At least it used to be."
My mouth dropped open. This was a guy who wears T-shirts with holes in the armpits, no problem. Who would rather hang out in a dilapidated billiards bar than go to the trendy new joint down the street. Who wanted to buy a camper and live on the road for a while.
"What?" I said, in shock. "Please explain."
Joe said when he was younger, he had bought into the idea that the goal in life was to earn lots of money. And that money could help him prove himself to people. He reminded me of his love for fast cars. It was the last thing I expected him to say, but when I thought about it, it made sense. He did love a good sports car.
Determining How You Relate To Money
This was just after our counselor, Lindsey Foss, had told us that people generally relate to money in one of four ways:
When I told her my money style — security — Lindsey said that it was no wonder Joe and I had been butting heads when talking about finances. Whether the two of us had been discussing budgeting tools, bank accounts, or retirement savings, Joe and I had hit roadblocks each time we sat down to talk. And now it seemed obvious why — we were hiking in from opposite sides of the financial mountain. Trying to blaze a new path together when our trailheads weren't even touching. For me, it was important to save as much money as possible, to bring a sense of stability into my life that I hadn't felt as a child. Meanwhile, Joe wanted the freedom to purchase a big-ticket item now and then.
Lindsey pointed out that this was nothing to worry about. The first step was understanding why our partner was on that weird path around the bluff to begin with. Understanding creates feelings of empathy for the other person, which leads to easier discussions. And, more importantly, Joe and I both decided that we wanted to change the way we thought of money. We agreed to steer ourselves toward the same path of viewing money for enjoyment instead of being trapped in our youthful visions of what adulthood should look like.
We were united in one future goal. Suddenly, I noticed a fork in the path ahead where our trails merged. Because I know we are not the only couple going through this, I interviewed Lindsey to get an expert take on how other couples can navigate this rocky financial terrain.
The 4 Money Trails
First, she gave me a breakdown of each of the money trails a person can wander on:
Status: People with this view see money primarily as a tool to maintain a certain image and/or impress other people. For instance, for these people, buying brand names might be very important.
Security: People with this view see money as a tool for stability and protection. They likely place a lot of importance on saving and managing bills well.
Enjoyment: People with this view see money as a pathway towards fun and pleasure. They may enjoy shopping. going out to eat, or buying things for other people.
Control: People with this view see money as the key not only to control but to independence. People with this view tend to place a strong emphasis on maintaining control of their own money in order to avoid dependence on another for financial needs.
Know Where Your Trailheads Are
Lindsey says it helps to know how you and your partner view money. To some people, it's obvious. But for those who could use guidance, she suggests in-person counseling or a site like Money Habitudes. This site offers both physical and online assessment tools. They aren't free, but they would help to gain an understanding of your personal financial beliefs. This allows you to reflect on where both of your money beliefs stemmed from. "Our partner is then more likely to recognize that we are not just being stubborn, but we are following a pattern that was (or would have been) helpful to us at some point in our lives," Lindsey said.
Once you know your and your partner's starting points, you can find a way to meet in the middle. Or at least comprehend why the hell they are stomping around on the other side of the ridge.
Bridge The Financial Gap
Lindsey says it's fine for two people to view money very differently. In fact, she says, "Just because you share a definition of the meaning of money doesn't mean that you won't have any conflict over money."
So what do you do? Talk. Then talk some more. It's important to have continuous conversations about your hopes and dreams for the future, and how you would like to see your money put to use. Only then can you come up with a mutual plan. Also, make sure to check in regularly regarding your system of managing money to ensure it's still working for you both. Lindsey insists that there is no one right way to manage money for every couple, but that the two in the relationship need to be on the same page.
And if you're really stuck? "I wish more couples would come to therapy when they are facing challenges related to money because the skills they could learn also would help them work through other issues more effectively," she says.
Especially after getting married, pressures tend to ramp up. For Joe and I, it has been a huge help figuring out how to discuss big things like money. If you can't avoid it, you might as well enjoy the trek.
How do you keep financial chats with your partner calm and stress-free?

Packaging is arguably one of the most important aspects of the brand experience. Consumers are more educated and yet more inundated with visual cues than ever before. Today, your product has less than 10 seconds to make an impact. And because first impressions are critical, your packaging must be "smart." We here at Tap define Smart Packaging as the effective use of retail packaging to tell, sell, shelve and protect your product. Smart Packaging tells your story, adds value, and extends brand while maximizing appeal and profits.
Tap is a leading manufacturer of Smart Packaging for Brands. From concept design to conversion and inventory management, Tap partners with companies large and small to provide them with packaging that extends brand and adds value. Our design, sales, manufacturing, warehouse and customer service teams work together with you to meet your goals. Whether you're looking for a mass produced folding carton, a premium rigid set-up box, or anything in between Tap, is committed to making a quality product that exceeds your expectations. And, we do so through a commitment to communication and an adherence to proven policies and procedures.
We're unique because of our breadth of on-site capabilities. Tap is one of the very first companies in the world to offer the HP Indigo 30000 Digital Printing Press, which is designed specifically for folding cartons. Offering high quality printing, quick turnaround, shorter and more frequent runs, zero set-up and minimal waste, the HP Indigo 30000 is the perfect solution for today's brand manager.
Adding to that, Tap is one of the only packaging manufactures to provide manufacturing of rigid set-up boxes, folding cartons, and plastic packaging all in one location – Cleveland, Ohio, home to the Browns, Lebron, the Indians, the Rock Hall of Fame and some pretty great breweries (and so much more).
In addition, Tap is ISO 9001:2008 certified for our design and manufacturing processes, and we're employee-owned – since 1984. Yeah, we have a lot of traits that make us unique. But the one you'll love best is our complete dedication to exceeding your expectations. We have won over some pretty big customers with our commitment to service and quality manufacturing.

6 Steps to Getting Started with Instagram For Non-Profits
Instagram is seen as a creative avenue for great photography, vacation pictures and the occasional meme. But it's so much more than that – organizations all over the world are tapping into this network to share news and promote their services. Non-profits too are starting to recognize its worth – creating content around important causes and showing audiences how they can help.
Below, we'll be touching on the value of Instagram for non-profits, as well as showing a few pointers on how to get your cause across to people on the platform.
Why should non-profits use Instagram?
Most social channels are useful for non-profits, but Instagram stands out because of its heavy emphasis on visuals.
It's not just a place to post pictures, but as somewhere to share initiatives, spread the word and run campaigns. Thanks to the kinds of content you can put out – from image and album posts right through to videos, Stories and even AI filters – content can be creatively enriched and deployed strategically to people you want to reach.
And it's worth noting that peer-to-peer fundraising initiatives can be driven natively through Instagram, especially where people can share how they're helping and solicit donations through their own audiences.
Ultimately, Instagram can help you:
Gain visibility across a range of communities and audiences – especially younger donors.
Increase awareness for the work you're doing.
Complement non-profit fundraising techniques, such as peer-to-peer fundraising.
Pinpoint your non-profit as a trusted brand, in order to build trust and become recognizable among others.
6 steps to start using Instagram for your non-profit
1. Register as a business profile
How your profile is set up is important — it's the first thing viewers will see when they head to your page. Once you register as a business profile, you'll be able to identify yourself as a non-profit, which is something your audience should know, especially if you're asking for donations.
Instagram will then be able to offer insights on key social media metrics: impressions, engagement and reach on all of your posts and stories. If you decide to put an ad or sponsored post out, Instagram will also help you analyze your reach and offer some tips on making your posts go even further.
2. Include a link in your profile
Instagram should be used as a creative tool to supplement your causes, so it's important you direct them to a link where they can see what your page is all about and learn more. In your stories and post captions, you can encourage viewers to go to that link by saying "head to our link in bio". From there, they can go to your website to understand what your non-profit is all about and why it's worth supporting.
3. Decide your objectives
Instagram's unparalleled opportunity to reach and connect with people is something you should try and leverage as much as you can. It makes sense to develop your organization's goals and decide which objectives matter most to you. What do you want to get out of this platform?
Here are some common non-profit goals for Instagram:
Brand awareness — who you, your charity or NGO are – and what you value.
Community management or engagement — reaching out to the wider community and connecting with people who will care about the same causes you do.
Fundraising and donations — raising money for your charity.
Volunteer recruitment — onboarding volunteers to help out with your missions.
It's possible you can have more than one goal, but make sure you know which ones are right for your Instagram account. For example, if one of your key goals is to raise donations, you can run an ad on your post to show how you're helping people and include a "Donate Now" call-to-action button, so your audience understands straight away how they can get involved.
4. Create a strategy to reach your goals
Depending on your goal, it's a good idea to think about tactics to reach out to your audience.
For example, if one of your key goals in using Instagram is to recruit for volunteers, there's plenty you can do around content and strategy to make your mission heard.
Create video content around existing volunteers who have been on missions – hearing their stories and showcasing how they're helping out.
Create infographic posts about upcoming opportunities.
Create paid ads to invite people to learn more about your mission.
Re-post volunteer Instagram Stories on your page to create a sense of authenticity.
On the other hand, if your key goal is raising funds, these tactics work better to reach donors.
Create videos that show how money is being spent and where.
Set up a Livestream or Instagram TV post to answer common questions about why this initiative is so important.
Create paid ads and target people who are more likely to donate using the Audience tool.
Create Instagram Feed posts and Stories showcasing before-and-after mission work.
Instagram actively supports non-profits and ensures they receive 100% of donations raised through their platform. It's definitely worth using Stories to encourage people to donate, as you can add the donation sticker in Stories to create a fundraiser directly.
5. Follow hashtags to stay in the loop
When you post content along with hashtags, your content will show up in trending posts using the same ones. Similarly, you can follow other hashtags, and those will start to appear in your Instagram feed, mixed in with the regular posts of the accounts you follow.
Instead of seeing a username in the feed, you'll see the hashtag listed next to the current photo for that hashtag and the colored hashtag symbol. The user who uploaded the post on the hashtag and any location tag used are listed beneath the hashtag itself.
Hashtags can also be added to Instagram stories, but it's a good idea to make sure that the font is large enough as the platform's algorithm does not recognize hashtags that are too small.
6. Use the below as inspirations for the look and feel of your content
Strong images and messaging – along with a consistent brand and tone of voice – will show people what causes you care about and who you are as a non-profit. This will ultimately increase your reach on Instagram and creates deeper connections with donors and supporters.
Take a look at some great case examples of non-profits using different content approaches to raise awareness.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 6.5 million members and supporters.
PETA usually places text directly on its images, merging a call to action as part of the design. That way, advocates can share their campaigns while retaining the original messaging.
The Salvation Army (Australia)
The international charity, the Salvation Army, also uses its branding and text as part of its imagery — in this example, stating important facts and figures around their relief efforts. This is particularly important to keep audiences informed about where their donations are going and who they are helping.
Direct Relief's mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty and disaster, both in the U.S. and internationally. Instead of using branded designs in the images themselves, they've used high-quality photography to represent the work they're doing. Here, they've showcased water pumps they've installed in this Puerto Rican community.
The Mayo Clinic is an American non-profit academic medical center based in the U.S., focused on integrated clinical practice, education, and research. And that's exactly what this Instagram post – in this case, a video rather than an image – is doing. Using bold asset captions to capture key details around health topics, they're using their content to creatively inform and inspire their audience to eat better.
Human Rights Watch is an NGO advocating human rights. The group pressures some governments, policy makers and human rights abusers to denounce abuse and respect human rights, and the group often works on behalf of refugees, children, migrants and political prisoners. They also have opted for imagery that speak to their causes without additional design — here, you see them giving credit to lawyers in Yemen fighting against holding secret prisons.
We hope this article has provided guidance on how non-profits can leverage Instagram to make their causes go further.
Remember, to raise funds effectively, you need to invest in the social community — through great content and some kind of strategy, be it paid ads or tapping into charity trends. Stay connected with your audience by following trends, responding to comments and creating engaging content – and follow our blog for more.

New children's book brings yokai to life
When folklorist, author and translator Zack Davisson came across the work of Swiss artist Eleonora d'Onofrio on the Internet, he was instantly smitten. D'Onofrio had rendered a series of Japanese yokai, or monsters and spirits, in her original style. The paintings spoke to Davisson, so he reached out to her and asked if she would be willing to pair them with his original stories for children. She agreed, so Davisson, who has written books on Japanese ghosts and supernatural cats and translated myriad manga, set off to do something he had never done before: write fiction.
The result is a fun, sometimes frightening, always visually stunning book from Chin Music Press of Seattle called Yokai Stories. The publisher says it is the first-ever English-language storybook for children on yokai. Davisson has written 16 stories to pair with d'Onofrio's art. Some of the stories are cute and whimsical, others will make your spine tingle and still others feel like little wisps or fragments. Davisson explains that Japanese "ghost stories" don't always follow a narrative arc. Sometimes they just describe something creepy or odd, like the little ghost girl who lives in a hotel and wants to play ball, or Baku, the eater of dreams.
The book is suitable for young readers, but it will also appeal to adult fans of anime and Japanese folklore.
Chin Music Press notes that yokai have captured the fascination of the world's youth through games and entertainment like Pokemon Go and Yokai Watch. Yokai Stories offers tales set in modern day that are true to the folklore behind yokai. Plus d'Onofrio's renderings add an exciting visual twist to the yokai world, which is often depicted through grotesque images in woodblock prints or ultra-cutesy modern drawings. D'Onofrio's contribution adds a new ripple to how we see yokai.
The book became available October 2018 at fine bookstores and from Chin Music Press' store in Pike Place Market. For more, go to www.chinmusicpress.com.

Witnesses to testify in Camera in Suspected Homosexual trial
By Rohey Jadama Justice Simon A. Abi of the Banjul High Court yesterday, 24th February 2015, ruled that the witnesses in the homosexual trial involving one Momar Sowe will testify in chambers.When the case was called, A.M. Yusuf announced his appearance for the state while Mrs Gaye-Coker represented the accused. State Counsel Yusuf applied for the evidence of some of the prosecution witnesses who are to testify to be heard in chambers, arguing that these are security personnel whose identity should be protected from the public. Defence counsel Gaye-Coker, however, objected to the application on the basis that the state has not given any compelling reason as to why the evidence of these said witnesses should be heard in chambers. She argued that the only instances where proceedings may not be in public are provided for in section 24(2) of the Constitution of The Gambia 1997. After reading out the said section to the court, the defence counsel said the reason advanced by the state does not fall into any of the exceptions provided in section 24(2). She submitted further that it is not shown how hearing the witnesses in open court will prejudice the interest of justice and therefore urged the court to refuse the state's application. Replying on points of law, state counsel Yusuf submitted that it is both trite and conventional in this jurisdiction that evidence of certain officers is usually heard in private and that this has been a common practice. He said the defence construed the exceptions in section 24(2) of the Constitution disjunctively instead of conjunctively and that the present application falls under the public order exception in section 24(2). He added that apart from the Constitution, the Evidence Act provides for the reception of evidence of certain officers in private and the present application is also covered by the Evidence Act. He concluded that the defence will not be prejudiced in anyway if the evidence of the witnesses is received in chambers since the accused and his counsel will both be present during testimony of the witnesses in chambers. Delivering his ruling, the trial judge said he had listened carefully to all the arguments from both sides. "Although this issue has come up from time to time before the courts, I do not think one particular case can be a proper guide in the determination of any other. This is because the facts and circumstances will definitely differ from case to case," he said. Justice Abi pointed out that in this particular case, the application is based on the reason that the identity of the proposed witnesses who are security agents ought to be protected. "In the making of the application, no particulars were given as to the particular nature of the security work the proposed witnesses are engaged in. I know for a fact that security operatives who require such identity protection are mostly undercover operatives. Here, they are simply said to be security operatives," said the judge. He said he could call for better particulars from the state but that itself, if done in open court, may endanger even more the security of the proposed witnesses whose identity the state wishes to protect. The trial judge added that on the question of Section 24(2) of the Constitution, both counsel dwelt on the provision without due reference to the operative words of the subsection which states "All proceedings of every court and proceedings relating to the determination of the existence or extent of civil rights or obligations before any court or other authority, including the announcement of the decision of the court or other authority shall be held in public". "The operative words here are 'proceedings relating to the determination of the existence or extent of civil rights or obligations'. I do not see how the subsection (2) will apply to criminal proceedings. There are other provisions both in the Constitution and other laws for hearings in public in criminal cases, but I have not come across a provision which disentitles the court from hearing witnesses in chambers in appropriate cases," added the trial judge. He said he accordingly found and hold that Section 24(2) of the Constitution does not apply to criminal proceedings. He said in the instant case, in the absence of further particulars about the nature of the security work engaged in by the proposed witnesses, he will choose to err on the side of caution by protecting the identity of the proposed witnesses at this stage. "Should I be later furnished with a reason to hold otherwise, I will certainly remove any protection now granted," he added. He concluded: "I therefore overruled the objection of learned defence counsel and the witnesses for the prosecution whom the State shall show are security operatives shall be heard in chambers." The case was adjourned to the 5th of March 2015 at 2.15PM to 3.45PM; and on 12th March 2015 at 1PM respectively.]]>

Very recently, (in fact I only just got home this week) my extremely generous and wonderful Grandfather took me on a whirl-wind tour of Europe. We cruised down the Danube River from Prague to Budapest and along the way stopped in Regensburg, Linz, Salzburg, Passau, Durnstein, Vienna and Bratislava! It was absolutely gorgeous with amazing architecture both new and old. Papa took 1,500 pictures (ish) so, there is no chance of not being able to explain how incredibly beautiful this trip was.
Course One: Small appetizer. Examples: Trout mousse (surprisingly good), a scallop, a couple pieces of shrimp with various sauces, and more, although it was never vegetarian.
Course Two: Soup. There were almost always two options. My top three favorites from the trip were garlic soup (which I will SO be making and posting about), white tomato soup (ever heard of a white tomato???) and sauerkraut soup (yes, it was sour, but it was also a nice change from creamy soups and heavy meats and it was extremely delicious). If I find the recipes I will be sharing them, because p.s. I'm boycotting Campbell's (even their reduced salt soups are 20% of your daily salt intake for ½ cup and you can taste it).
Course Three: Salad!!!! I had previously thought it would be near impossible to find veggies in the meat capitals of the world, but I did find them, just not enough of them, so this was a gift from the gods. The salads often had a thin pesto sauce or vinaigrette and had there was no iceberg lettuce to be found! Hallelujah!
Course Four: After forty five minutes of feeling starving and only getting miniscule pieces of food that were more a tease than anything (although they were quite a tasty tease) we finally had our main course. This is where I tasted lots of new meats and was pleasantly surprised to find I liked some of them, but some, I just couldn't stomach. Duck, pretty good, veal, was okay, but I feel bad eating baby cow, but on the other hand, fois gras gives me the shivers. It has the consistency of fluffy cream cheese, only it's made of intestines, or is it liver? Hmm, not quite sure. Maybe if they had told me what it was after I had tried it, I might have like it, but they told me before, so no. I also ate meat that was way pinker than I am comfortable with, but it was cooked by a professional, and I decided I was going to be very open on this trip, so I ate the tiniest bites. It was good, but I prefer my meat cooked all the way through thank you very much!
Course Five: Dessert! From Crème Brule to mango mousse to cheese filled crepes to gelato, we ate it all!!! There was plenty of chocolate, lots of cream and way too many options. Everything was good, how could you go wrong when each restaurant had a pastry chef? What was the best part? You could always get tea to go with it!
I really look forward to getting the recipes for the soups. Soup season is fast approaching. What did poppa do without any iceberg lettuce?
I got the goos part of that deal, he gave me any lettuce that was too leafy, grren, or purple, but he managed!
Can't wait for the recipes. When you get to it, look for Crème brûlée. You might not find it with the spelling it sounds like. Hope you're sampling the seafood on Virginia Beach, and that recipes will follow.
I believe tomorrow we go out for seafood, and on wednesday we should have fresh fish (if Biruk and Daddy have any luck)!!!! Can't wait to see you!
Trout mousse…. I am very impressed that you tried that. I don't think I could bring myself to do that, even being an avid seafood lover. 🙂 I LOVE SAUERKRAUT!!!! And pink meat has never been one of those things that bothered me… I prefer it pink, actually. It's so cool that they give you tea with dessert… all we ever get here is cofffee!
-Love you and your blog!
Thanks! Are you taking any cooking casses this year?
It was so much fun having you appreciate and be able to discuss the foods we were served so much more than a "cafeteria" fan such as myself ever could! People worked hard to select and provide us fine food. I would be interested in you posting your impressions of the ship's galley and operation.
That's a great idea for a post, I'll set to work!
Why yes I am! I'm taking International Foods. How about you??? | {

Q: Spin-c Structures viewed w.r.t. Cell Decomposition In my quest to understand spin representations, I am looking at the equivalent views of spin structures (on some oriented Riemannian $n$-manifold). Given such a manifold $M$, its tangent bundle $TM$ is described by gluing cocycles $g_{ab}:U_{ab}\rightarrow SO(n)$.
A spin structure would be some lift of $g_{ab}$ to $U_{ab}\rightarrow Spin(n)$, or in other words, that there is a $Spin(n)$-equivariant lift of the frame bundle $F_{SO}(M)\rightarrow M$ with respect to the double cover $Spin(n)\rightarrow SO(n)$.
A spin-c structure would likewise be a combination of a principal $U(1)$-bundle $F_{U(1)}$ and a $Spin^c(n)$-bundle $F_{spinc}$ (over $M$) with a bundle map $F_{spinc}\rightarrow F_{SO}(M)\times F_{U(1)}$.
Now apparently, assuming our manifold admits some sort of cell decomposition, a spin structure corresponds to a [homotopy class of a] trivialization of $TM\oplus \mathbb{R}^k$ over the 1-skeleton of $M$ which extends over the 2-skeleton. Here, $k$ is taken to be $0$ for $n\ge 3$, but for $n=1,2$ we stabilize the tangent bundle appropriately.
Is there an analogous description for a spin-c structure?
A: A spin-c structure on a vector bundle $\pi : E \to B$ can be thought of as two things:
(1) A complex line bundle $c : C \to B$
together with
(2) A spin structure on $\pi \oplus c : E \oplus C \to B$. $\pi \oplus c$ is meant to be the fibrewise direct sum.
This appears in the Gompf reference given in the comments above. It's also on the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_structure
So from an obstruction theory point of view, you can view a complex spin structure on a vector bundle as (1) an element of $H^2(B;\mathbb Z)$ (a cocycle) together with (2) a trivialization of the vector bundle $\pi$ over the 1-skeleton $B^1$ such that the obstruction to extending over the 2-skeleton agrees modulo two with the value of the above cocycle.
(1) is because line bundles over $B$ are given by maps to $K(\mathbb Z, 2)$, i.e. 2-dimensional cohomology classes.
Note, Paul Siegel's comment is explained the the Gompf reference, as well. I prefer the above formalism, myself.

Army to Continue Radio Procurement Amid IG Audit
The Defense Department's top acquisitions review panel in February 2004, assigned the Army to oversee the Joint Tactical Radio System. Exactly 10 years later, the department's inspector general announced it would begin a comprehensive audit of the program, whichremains bogged down in low-rate production.
The IG probe is the latest in a long list of reviews, inquiries, investigations and reorganizations that have beset the JTRS program since it was conceived in 1997. The Pentagon wanted to replace bulky, crackling military voice radios with digital devices that would make U.S. forces "network centric."
The inspector general's office launched the audit last month. Audits usually last 12 to 18 months, although they could go longer, according to Defense Department IG spokeswoman Bridget Ann Serchak. The JTRS audit, she said in a statement to National Defense, was "self initiated," which implies that it was not prompted by the defense secretary's office or Congress.
Pentagon insiders, however, point out that the IG office typically gets involved when there are complaints.
Other red flags about JTRS were raised by the Defense Department's director of test and evaluation in his 2014 annual report. He called on the Army to fix reliability and performance shortfalls in both in the manpack and rifleman radios.
"Our objective is to determine whether the Army is effectively managing the acquisition and testing programs for the Joint Tactical Radio System handheld, manpack, and small form fit rifleman and manpack radios to make sure they meet war fighter needs," Jacqueline L. Wicecarver, assistant inspector general for acquisition, parts and inventory, wrote in a Jan. 14 letter to the Army auditor general.
The Army already has poured $8.5 billion into development and low-rate production. A Dec 12. memo from defense acquisition chief Frank Kendall gave the Army the green light to order 1,500 manpack radios for the 82nd Airborne Division. He also approved a multivendor strategy for future buys of the HMS radios. The Army so far has ordered approximately 5,600 manpack and 19,000 handheld rifleman radios under a $250 million low-rate production contract. General Dynamics Corp., Rockwell Collins and Thales Defense are the current manufacturers for low-rate production.
In 2013, Army officials were given a January deadline to settle on a procurement strategy for mass production of both radios. The Army has said since June it would soon release a solicitation for industry bids. The goal is to encourage non-incumbent vendors to enter the competition on the assumption that it would help lower prices.
News of the IG audit sparked speculation about further delays to the program. But Army officials said they plan to go ahead and solicit industry bids after the Pentagon approves the acquisition strategy in the coming weeks.
"The HMS acquisition strategy is currently being reviewed at the secretary of defense level," said Josh Davidson, Army spokesman for the program executive office for command, control and communications tactical in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.
"Upon approval, the Army intends to release the rifleman radio RFP (request for proposals) and initiate the full and open competition for the next generation rifleman radio," he said in a statement to National Defense. The manpack RFP would come later. "Both RFPs are planned for release during the latter half of fiscal year 2014," said Davidson.
Serchak, of the IG office, said auditors generally "work on their audits with a minimum of disruption to the auditees, but we don't typically provide specifics about the ongoing work."
Industry insiders doubt that the findings of the IG audit will derail a program that has lived beyond the proverbial nine lives. After 10 years, the handheld radio is still receiving bad reviews by the Pentagon's testing office and the manpack is about to begin its third major operational test this fall. "Much of that long runway has been supported by the office of the secretary of defense, which keeps handing out low-rate production [approvals] in the face of poor evaluations," said an industry consultant.
If the acquisition strategy for HMS is signed off by the Pentagon's procurement office, as expected, in March, it could take the rest of the year for the Army to solicit bids and evaluate them, he said. For vendors eyeing an HMS production deal, the best-case scenario would be a contract award in 2015.

Milano, Italy, November 2nd, 2016. Power Progress Community announced today that it has joined the OpenPOWER Foundation, an open development community based on the POWER microprocessor architecture.
Power Progress Community is a non profit association that joins a growing roster of technology organizations working collaboratively to build advanced server, networking, storage and acceleration technology as well as industry leading open source software aimed at delivering more choice, control and flexibility to developers of next-generation, hyperscale and cloud data centers. The group makes POWER hardware and software available to open development for the first time, as well as making POWER intellectual property licensable to others, greatly expanding the ecosystem of innovators on the platform.
Power Progress Community promotes and disseminates software (especially open source software), and open hardware with especial focus on PowerPC and OpenPower architectures. The first goal of this association is the design of a Linux PowerPC notebook to bring back this technology to home computing. | {

This impressive old Georgian country house sits on a bluff with commanding views of the woodlands, walled gardens and walkways that make up Waterford's Woodhouse Estate.
Capacious enough to cater for a large family, it is ideally placed for cycling trips around the headlands and coves of Ireland's Copper Coast, hill-walking in the Comeragh Mountains, or just traipsing around this elegant estate.
A finely proportioned building with generous room sizes, Walkers Cottage has recently been extended to the rear, and completely refurbished to a very high standard.
A house of two halves, the original 19th century home which first greets you has thick walls with the original six over six, three section sash windows bracketed by simple solid shutters.
Moulded ceiling friezes and solid panel doors are of traditional country house style, augmented by a beautiful white limestone floor, soft buttermilk tones and flush lighting.
A deep arch to the rear opens seamlessly through to the bright family kitchen of the extended house.
The two rooms are united by walls of pale pumpkin, and bleached oak floor boards.
The living room to one side of the lobby is perfect for family games, both board and more high-tech. There is an abundance of logs from the estate to power the wood burning stove.
To the opposite side of the hall, a rustic dining table seats eight for large meals or entertaining on with painted Van Gogh chairs. There's even a blackboard for murals or menus.
French doors open southwards from the kitchen into the panoramic gardens.
The remainder of the ground floor consists of a large stylish bathroom and a spacious utility room and boot lobby.
A carpeted winder stair takes you up to the bedrooms – one on each corner of the house – and a second family bathroom complete with dual head shower.
Children get an irresistible twin bedroom of their own. Candy pink with very special AA Milne wallpaper. | {

Najran o Nadjran () és una ciutat històricament iemenita del sud-oest de l'Aràbia Saudita prop de la frontera amb el Iemen i capital de la província de Najran. La població ha crescut enormement als darrers anys: tenia 47.500 habitants el 1974, i va doblar passant a 90.983 el 1992, fins a arribar als 246.880 al cens del 2004. La població tradicional pertany a la tribu dels Banu Yam.
Situada al mig d'un uadi fèrtil (el uadi Najran) ha estat tradicionalment un centre agrícola (cereals, fruits, llegums), comercial i industrial (cuiro i teles), ja que estava en l'encreuament de dues rutes de caravanes (d'Hadramaut a la Mediterrània per l'Hijaz i de l'Iraq al Iemen).
Najran hauria passat vers el 685 aC als sabeus sota el rei Karibil Watar I. Un rei sabeu posterior, Yithi'amar Bayin, va destruir Ragmat vers el 510 aC. Najran hauria estat sota domini mineu o sabeu en els següents segles. Les ruïnes d'al-Ukhdud, probablement la ciutat central de l'oasis de Najran, corresponen probablement a l'antiga ciutat de Ragmat; aquestes ruïnes són també en territori de l'Aràbia Saudita al sud-est de la moderna ciutat.
L'any 24 o 25 fou una de les ciutats ocupades pels romans d'Eli Gal en la seva expedició a la zona. Eli Gal va utilitzar l'oasi com a base pel seu atac a Marib. A l'inici de l'era cristiana fou un centre comercial pròsper. Najran era probablement el nom de l'oasi que englobava diverses viles i encara no s'havia generalitzat. Els himiarites van conquerir els dominis sabeus al i probablement llavors es van apoderar de Najran. En algun moment del segle III els abissinis van enviar un governador de nom «SBQLM» segons les inscripcions i Najran fou una de les zones en què va exercir control. El rei himiarita Ilsharah Yahdib va aconseguir expulsar els abissinis.
El rei làkhmida Imru-l-Qays ibn Amr va atacar Najran abans de l'any 328 (el rei va morir el 328). Després va caure sota influència d'Axum i la població va esdevenir cristiana al , obra del mercader local de nom Hayyan o Hannan que s'havia batejat a al-Hira, al mateix temps que arribaven missioners d'Abissínia i de la Síria bizantina. El segle VI Najran era el principal centre cristià d'Aràbia del sud amb existència de diverses corrents i predomini del monofisisme.
Vers el 520 el rei (jueu o proper al judaisme) himiarita Dhu Nuwas va ocupar Najran i va donar als habitants a escollir entre renunciar a la seva religió o morir; molts habitants van morir en màrtirs. Bizanci va demanar a Axum l'enviament d'ajut a aquestos cristians, i el rei axumita va enviar una expedició amb suport de la flota bizantina. El negus Ella-Asheba va conquerir el Iemen vers el 525 i en va fer una dependència d'Axum. Najran llavors va gaudir del prestigi de ser ciutat de màrtirs i fou objecte de pelegrinatge dels cristians de la península Aràbiga. El monofisisme es va reforçar amb la sang dels màrtirs i amb el culte a les seves despulles. El cap local era llavors al-Harith ibn Kab, sayyid de la vila i de la tribu àrab que la poblava, que va esdevenir conegut a occident com a sant Aretes la festa del qual se celebra el 24 d'octubre. La principal tribu àrab va agafar el nom d'aquest cap, abreujadament Balharith i era segurament un subgrup dels azdites (Azd) com els ghassànides (aliats dels bizantins, més al nord). Fou en el segle VI que l'oasi es va omplir d'esglésies i monestirs i especialment la vila de Kabat Najran dedicada als màrtirs i a la que es dirigien el pelegrins, de la qual eren guardians els Banu Abd al-Madan, el principal clan dels Balharits. Najran fou una de les quatre ciutats de l'Orient cristià (les altres foren Axum a Etiòpia, Edjmiatsín a Armènia, i Edessa a Osroene).
El 570 els perses van ocupar l'Aràbia del sud i van expulsar els axumites. L'hostilitat persa contra els cristianisme i especialment contra la influència bizantina, la va pagar Najran, però tot i així la situació es va mantenir amb una certa tolerància general. Al segle següent es va originar l'islam que tenia una disposició inicial raonable envers el cristianisme que no es va endurir fins després del 622. El 630 una delegació de Najran va anar a Medina. Després d'algunes discussions el Profeta els va autoritzar a mantenir el seu culte a canvi d'una contribució i del pagament periòdic d'un tribut. Najran va tenir part destacada a la Ridda (vegeu Història del Iemen)
Sota el califa Umar ibn al-Khattab es va decidir que a la península Aràbiga no podien viure cristians i els habitants de Najran foren obligats a emigrar a Mesopotàmia on es van establir a una població que van anomenar al-Nadjraniyya prop de Kufa. O bé alguns van eludir l'ordre o van retornar, però al segle X encara hi havia cristians a Najran. Una part dels balhariths es van fer musulmans i van restar a la ciutat però més tard es van instal·lar a un lloc relativament proper a uns quilòmetres al nord-oest, que esdevingué la Najran musulmana, i que va prosperar notablement. Membre del clan Abd al-Madan era Rayta, la mare del primer califa abbàssida al-Saffah, i això va donar als senyors de Najran certa influència als primers temps del califat abbàssida. El clan va agafar el nom d'al-Akhwal (el pare de Rayta).
Aprofitant la guerra que devastava la regió de Sanà, Ahmad ibn Sulayman, amb el suport de les tribus fidels als xerifians, es va erigir en imam a Najran, Djawf Ibn Nasir i Zahir, amb el títol d'al-Mutawakkil (vers 1138). Va rebre el suport de les tribus d'Hadur, Medhihdj i Khawlan i el 1150 va atacar a l'hamdanita Sultan Hamid. La batalla entre hamdanites i l'imam de Nadjran es va lliurar a Seresa i Sultan Hatim fou derrotat fugint cap a Sanà. A la ciutat els caps locals van decidir reconèixer a l'imam davant el qual es va presentar Sultan Hatim i fou generosament perdonat que li va permetre establir-se a Maudher fins que els membres de les tribus Banu Hamdan es van dispersar; llavors es va traslladar a Zafar on va romandre fins que també les tribus xerifianes de l'imam es van dispersar i llavors va cridar als Banu Hamdan, va reorganitzar les forces i va atacar Sanà. Al-Mutawakkil va sortir de la ciutat i va establir el seu campament a Birash, que va fortificar, i mentre va demanar ajut a les tribus xerifianes, però abans de rebre el seu suport fou derrotat per Sultan Hamid, que va entrar llavors a Sanà mentre l'imam es retirava al país de Djenb. Gran part del Iemen estava dividit en feus tribals. Sultan Hatim llavors va avançar sense ni soldats ni material cap a Dhimar, on estaven reunides les tribus del Djenb que donaven suport a l'imam i es preparaven per atacar Sanà, i aquestes tribus en veure'l actuar tant temeràriament, se li van sotmetre voluntàriament. Així va tornar a Sanà com a triomfador. El 1169, a finals de l'any, l'imam al-Mutawakkil que es mantenia encara a la regió de Zahir, va entrar en guerra contra els xerif kasimita del Zahir, abans el seu aliat. L'imam fou fet presoner i portat al castell d'Anafith. Els fills de l'imam van demanar la intercessió d'Ali ibn Sultan Hatim, el qual va aconseguir l'alliberament de l'empresonat. al-Mutawàkkil es va establir llavors a Hawth i va demanar ajut a Ali contra els kasimites de Zahir, mercès a la qual va poder triomfar sobre aquestos i va retornar a Shibam (1170). Al-Mutawakkil va morir al cap de poc (1170) i els kasimites de Zahir es van sotmetre a Ali el 1172. Just en aquest moments destacaments oghuz i kurds van arribar al país, que es van establir a la zona de Dhemar, i van afavorir la presa del poder per l'aiúbida al-Muàddham Turan-Xah, germà de Saladí) el 1173.
Després del domini aiúbida i rassúlida, la zona va ser governada per la tribu Banu Yam, que al va adoptar les doctrines ismaïlites. Najran fou el centre de l'imamat dels makràmides.
Des de 1924 l'imam del Iemen va voler imposar la sobirania a l'imamat de Najran. L'imam va establir llaços amb caps tribals de la zona de Najran per contrarestar les relacions dels makràmides i Banu Yam amb els saudites. El 1933 després de llargues negociacions sense resultat entre saudites i iemenites sobre l'estatus de Nadjran, l'exèrcit de l'imam Yahya Hamid al-Din, amb 50.000 homes, va ocupar la regió, entrant a Badr, la residència de l'imam. El 45è daï Ali ibn Mushin al Shibam (1913-1936) va fugir a Abha. L'exèrcit iemenita va destruir les cases dels dais i va profanar les tombes dels dais difunts. Això va provocar un aixecament general dirigit pel xeic dels Banu Yam Jabir Abu Sag, pro-saudita, i els iemenites es van haver de retirar. Llavors els saudites (manats pel príncep hereu Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz) van aprofitar per ocupar la regió (primavera del 1934) i la van annexionar. Els hi fou reconeguda pel Iemen pel tractat de maig de 1934. Ali ibn Mushin va poder tornar i els 145 membres de la família de dais van rebre pensió del govern saudita. El 1939 encara Djamal al-Din Ali ibn Husayn al-Makrami succeïa al seu pare Husam al-Din Ghulam Husayn (1936-1938) com a daï mutlak però aquesta direcció era ja merament honorífica i continua modernament.

Big Data's Big Face-plant
Big Data is huge. Everybody wants it. If you're not doing it, you're hopelessly antiquated. But it has serious flaws. The high-profile role played by Big Data in the recent election provides an excellent example. Calling those efforts a "face-plant" is kind. In addition to illustrating many of the glaring flaws I have previously enumerated, this face-plant clearly and explicitly demonstrates the corrosive effects of bias: the experts weren't seeking the truth -- they were rooting for an outcome. Given the undeniable predictive failure, you'd think a little self-reflection might be in order. This post uses the recent election Big Data failure as an example. The flaws it illustrates, and others, are common in Big Data efforts, and are the reason why so many of the much heralded efforts result in no substantial benefit.
The Big Data Experts
In recent years, Big Data election experts have attained great visibility. Their pronouncements are more closely followed than those of the candidates themselves. Nate Silver has been the reigning god, but a new one exploded onto the scene this election season. Here's the story as it appeared in Wired Magazine, just days before the election:
The story got serious attention, as you can see from more than 24,000 Facebook shares. How big is this guy and organization? Real big:
Who is this guy? Read on:
Clearly a massive math and science wonk. No one else gets into CalTech, much less gets a Stanford PhD in science.
What did he say about the election? Of course the picture changed as election day drew close, but all the math pointed strongly to a Clinton victory.
The debate as the election drew close was interesting. It wasn't whether Clinton would win -- everyone thought she would -- but since they're math guys and they know this isn't physics, they argued about the probability she would win, and about the margin predicted.
Dr. Wang ratcheted up the probability of a Clinton win all the way up to 99%. That's pretty darn certain! Here's his argument for why such certainty was reasonable:
Yup, it was sure a giant surprise, all right!
Here is his description of his calculations and why they're reasonable, if you can stand it. If not, that's OK, just skip ahead:
There's lots more stuff on the site. By all means check it out for a great example of self-delusion by a celebrated Professor Doctor. Here is a sample:
For any readers who actually know math and science, you'll know right away that this is a specious argument: it's a lot of words that are math-y, but they bear no real relationship to the actual probability of Clinton winning.
Late afternoon of election day, he posted his last prediction:
This was not a search for truth
How could Professor Doctor Neuroscientist Sam "Election Hero" Wang have gotten it so wrong? In addition to committing many of the standard errors and unusually bad interpretations of probability I've mentioned, there's another reason: Wang was not seeking truth. Dr. Wang was an advocate. He badly wanted an outcome. He wasn't predicting for prediction's sake -- he was predicting to find out which races were close, so that scarce funds could be allocated to sway the outcome of those close races. How do we know? Here are Wang's own words in that same final post, which he repeats with emphasis in the comments:
This also explains how he got famous -- he was drizzling science-y pixie-dust on the outcome that he and many other people wanted. He told them what they wanted to hear.
Could it be that Dr. Wang has an unblemished track record of prior predictions, and let his emotions get the best of him in the 2016 election? Sadly, no. Look at this powerful -- 98% probability! -- prediction, his final one before the 2004 election:
What we've got here is an advocate posing as a scientist, spouting out what his fans want to hear with lots of math-geek talk to make it sound solid, but who gets it badly wrong. Repeatedly. Surely, all right-thinking people would turn their backs on him, right? Science is about making predictions that come true, and if your predictions are wrong, you're just a promoter with no credibility, right?
Sadly, no.
There is clearly an audience for people who tell readers what they want to hear with math-y icing on top.
The Big Data juggernaut rolls along, its momentum unabated. The face-plant of Big Data analytics in the 2016 should have been a wake-up call, regardless of your political views, of the inherent dangers and deep biases that send all too many Big Data efforts into the gutter of failure. Everyone appears to have moved on unchanged, which makes sense, because it was never really about science and truth to begin with. It's sad to see exotic BIG data efforts getting lots of money and attention, when humble LITTLE data efforts are causing daily pain but starved for funding. See this. However, if you want to get value out of Big Data and associated technologies, be assured that it can be done. Just take this story as another note of caution.

The speed of a webpage is determined by calculating how long it takes all of its content to fully load. This includes photos, text, and other media. If a page takes more than a few seconds to load, Google may penalize its ranking for reasons relating to loading time. According to KISSmetrics, 47% of consumers expect a webpage to load in 2 seconds or less and 40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load.
How Can You Test Page Load Times?
With the aid of website page speed testers, many of which are free, businesses and bloggers can quickly find out if their webpages are taking too long to load. Aside from testing page load time, speed testers may also offer suggestions for how to increase page-loading time. For example, Google's PageSpeed Insights software will generate a list of ways that a website's speed can be improved.
Can You Improve Page Load Times?
Websites with page load times in excess of about 3 seconds generally have room for improvement. Thankfully, when testing website load times reveals that pages are sluggish, a few key changes can make an immediate difference. Enabling browser caching, compressing large pages, and resizing images to include fewer pixels will all cut down on the amount of time it takes an average webpage to load. It may also be beneficial to create a site with an online website builder, which will offer an optimized platform from the start. Utilizing a content delivery network can also help users who are geographically far from a website server enjoy faster page load times.
Page speed is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of SEO. To maintain a high ranking in Google SERP, website owners should run periodic tests on their site speed—checking it once is not enough. Running a mobile website speed test is also a good idea, as mobile web users are even more impatient when it comes to page load times. Even website giants like Amazon are running these types of tests to improve user experience and conversion rates, so the concept of page speed isn't going anywhere.
You definitely don't need to be a web developer or a gifted coder to learn more about optimizing a website. Just check out these tips for using The Best SEO-Friendly Website Builders. | {

Character World has signed an exclusive deal with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products to design and produce a full range of home textiles for fans of the hit TV series "Glee." Bedding will be available this Christmas with additional products set to launch from spring 2011 onward.
"Glee is a massive addition to the Character World portfolio," says Mark Schweiger, joint managing director at Character World. "There's no doubt, Glee is a cultural phenomenon. We are already receiving a great deal of interest from retailers and we believe Glee merchandise will be big business this Christmas. We have created fun, fresh designs that reflect everything the Glee brand stands for. We have plans to expand the range so Glee fans can give their bedrooms a real 'gleekover.'" | {

Križarske države so bile fevdalne države, ki so jih v 12. in 13. stoletju v Mali Aziji, na Bližnjem vzhodu (Levantu), v Grčiji in na Iberskem polotoku ustanovili zahodnooevropski križarji.
Bližnji vzhod (Levant)
Takoj po prvi križarski vojni (1095-1099) so na Bližnjem vzhodu nastale štiri države:
Grofija Edesa (1098-1144)
Kneževina Antiohija (1098-1268)
Grofija Tripoli (1104-1289) in
Jeruzalemsko kraljestvo (1099-1291)
Jeruzalemsko kraljestvo je imelo več manjših vazalnih držav, od katerih so bile najpomembnejše
Kneževina Galileja
Grofija Jafa in Askalon
Gospostvo Oultrejordain (tudi Transjordanija) in
Gospostvo Sidon
Armensko Kraljestvo Kilikija je imelo zametke že pred prihodom križarjev, vendar mu je status kraljestva podelil šele papež Inocenc III.
Ciper
V tretji križarski vojni je angleški kralj Rihard Levjesrčni zavzel otok Ciper in ga razglasil za kraljestvo. Ciper je potem nekajkrat menjal gospodarje: od angleškega kralja so ga kupili templjarji in ga leta 1192 prodali jeruzalemskemu naslovnemu kralju Guju Lusignanskemu. Njegova družina je otoku vladala do leta 1474 (ali 1489), potem pa je zadnja kraljica Ciper prodala Benetkam. Kasneje so ga za nagrado dobili ivanovci, kasnejši malteški vitezi. Ivanovci Cipra nikoli niso vzeli za svojega, zato je začel je nazadovati, dokler ga leta 1474 niso zasedli Turki.
Grčija
Po četrti križarski vojni so križarji na ostankih Bizantinskega cesarstva ustanovili več držav:
Latinsko cesarstvo s sedežem v Bizancu (1204-1261)
Solunsko kraljestvo (1205-1224)
Kneževino Ahajo oziroma Moreo (1205-1432)
z gospostvoma Argos in Nauplija (1205-1388)
Atensko vojvodino (1205–1458)
z mejno grofijo Bodonica (1204-1414)
Egejsko vojvodino, ki je bila znana tudi kot Vojvodina Naxos in Arhipelaška vojvodina (1207–1579)
Vojvodino Filipopolis
Mnogo otokov, med katerimi so bili najpomembnejši Kreta (1204-1669), Evboja (Negroponte, do leta 1470) in jonski otoki (do leta 1797) so prišli v posest Beneške republike.
Novonastale države so se stalno spopadale z Nikejskim cesarstvom, Epirskim despotatom in Bolgarijo. Tesalijo in Latinsko cesarstvo so leta 1261 ponovno zasedli Grki iz Nikejskega cesarstva. Nasledniki križarjev so vladali v Atenah in na Peloponezu vse do 15. stoletja, ko so jih premagali otomanski Turki.
Rodos in Egejski otoki
Vojaški red ivanovcev (Vitezov svetega Janeza Krstnika) je na Rodosu in bližnjih Egejskih otokih leta 1310 ustanovil svojo državo. Leta 1522 so jih premagali otomanski Turki in morali so se preseliti na Malto.
Otok Kastellorizo, ki leži v Dodekanezu, tako kot Rodos, so ivanovci dobili že leta 1309. Otok so od leta 1440 do 1450 okupirali Egipčani, potem pa je pripadel Neapeljskemu kraljestvu. Leta 1635 so mu zavladali Benečani in ga preimenovali v Castellorosso. Vse naštete države, razen egipčanskih, so bile katoliške.
Vojaškemu redu ivanovcev so občasno pripadala tudi bližnja ozemlja v Mali Aziji z mesti Smirna (današnji Izmir, 1344-1402), Attaleia (današnja Antalya, 1366-1373) in Halikarnas (današnji Bodrum, 1412-1422).
Iberski polotok
Iberski polotok so arabsko-berberski Mavri zasedli na začetku 8. stoletja - leta 711. Že leta 718 se je začela rekonkvista, vojna za ponovno osvojitev izgubljenih ozemelj, ki je trajala vse do leta 1492. Rekonkvista je imela vse značilnosti križarske vojne, zato bi lahko vse novonastale katoliške kneževine na Iberskem polotoku, razen Kraljevine Valencije, šteli med križarske države.

After analysing Jorn Utzon's Can Lis, I was assigned to design a building with the tools and styles analysed. I chose to design a study center; a space dedicated to research, reading, sketching and drafting. The study center has a reception, library, drafting and writing room and a quite courtyard space. Main considerations in this assignment were: the climate, the strong Mediterranean sun that Can Lis's design revolved around, and the use of courtyard space. | {

The New Riva Masterpiece: Riva 88' Folgore Launches in 2020
The new Riva masterpiece made its first dip in the sea at the La Spezia shipyard. Symbol of strength and innovation, Riva 88' Folgore ("Lightning") immediately won the hearts and minds of those who saw it cut through the waves.
The most eagerly awaited vessel by Riva enthusiasts was launched on Monday, 25th May in La Spezia, where the production facility dedicated to the 76-to-110-foot models is based. She is the first new model to be launched by the Shipyard in 2020.
It is the first launch of a new Riva model at the time of Covid-19 and celebrates the nonstop activity of all shipyards, confirming Ferretti Group in its role as a tenacious and solid builder of dreams and emotions.
"Riva 88' Folgore looks like a vessel just back from a journey into the future: she is a dazzling flash of style, she is strength, she is performance, she is innovation," said Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group. "The launch of the first new model in 2020 represents a new Renaissance for the Ferretti Group, which restarts from Riva, brand becoming more and more a contemporary myth, the essence of Made in Italy and a tangible sign of a Country that starts again."
The new exterior design philosophy displays lines and elements inspired by the automotive world, combining luxury and sportiness. In a happy balance between past and present, it combines the use of innovative materials like carbon with traditional stylistic elements such as mahogany inlays and steel decorations.
Riva 88' Folgore offers the owner a completely reconceived stern concept, with the garage door that swings open and can be positioned in two ways: parallel to the waterline, to take advantage of a 6m²² beach club, and immersed, to allow the launch and landing of the tender.
The cockpit, on the other hand, is a large space of 22 m² that features a huge sofa area with a table and also a bar unit with an electrically opening marble top.
Another interesting element of style is the glass hardtop located on the superstructure, which opens up and can be tilted toward both the stern and bow, to let in fresh air during navigation or when at anchor.
The interiors have also been extensively renewed in style, created using precious materials such as wood, steel, marble and glass. They feature a number of particulars, including the option of three different layouts for the master cabin.
The sleeping area is completed by a VIP cabin at the bow and two double cabins, each with its own bathroom.
The area reserved for the galley remains separate, with a dedicated entrance to guarantee maximum service privacy.
Like all the Riva masterpieces of recent history, the 88' Folgore is the result of the collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the studio founded by Mauro Micheli along with Sergio Beretta, the Product Strategy Committee headed by engineer Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.

The device uses state of the art transceiver design in CMOS technology to significantly reduce the total cost of ownership. It integrates a dual transceiver architecture to support 2×2 MIMO along with on-chip digital signal processing functions. The DSP combines with the on-chip analog filtering to enhance performance and eliminate – or substantially reduce – the need for external filters.
Lime's proven FPRF technology has been used by private companies, government and military organisations to create a myriad of wireless broadband technologies, from whitespace radios to disaster relief networks to communications infrastructure devices.
The LMS7002M has a continuous operation spectrum of 100 kHz to 3.8 GHz, and is software configured to operate up to 120 MHz RF bandwidth.
The device can be configured to use the 2G, 3G and 4G standards – including all TDD / FDD variants – and a host of additional standards, including WiFi.
To enable advanced networks to be created, the chip features a dual transceiver architecture. It integrates 12-bit ADCs and DACs, LNAs, filters and mixers to provide two transmit and receive paths, enabling a true single-chip (2×2) MIMO operation. The transceiver's enhanced capability features, such as an on-chip microcontroller, further simplify its calibration and installation. Furthermore, its extensive on-chip DSP has been programmed to enhance functionality and performance.
Multiple devices can be used for higher order MIMO configurations.
The device is fabricated using a low cost CMOS process and has been designed for the lowest possible power consumption.
The DSP supplements the analogue gain with digital control and is an important factor in reducing the overall power consumption. This allows the LMS7002M to operate from a single supply rail of 1.8V with individual blocks capable of being powered down for further power savings.
The LMS7002M has a standard serial port interface (SPI) for programming and includes provision for a full RF calibration. The device combines LNA, PA driver, RX/TX mixers, RX/TX filters, synthesizers, RX gain control, and TX power control with very few external components.
The chip is programmed by a serial bit stream and is designed using an open source configuration tool suite. The GUI provides access to all the parameters in each block. Designers can accept the defaults or change the control settings that are downloaded to the devices to meet their system requirements.
The LMS7002M is packaged in a 11.5 x 11.5mm aQFN 261-pin package. It is available with the Universal Wireless Communications Toolkit (UWCT), which includes an evaluation board and associated software.
The LMS7002M FPRF transceiver can be used as a software-configured, fully-functional MIMO transceiver or to replace discrete ADC, DAC, DDS (direct digital synthesizer), AGC or RSSI (received signal strength indicator) devices. It has been priced aggressively to compete with these discrete components, allowing it to replace several individual chips.
Lime supplies free software comprising an intuitive GUI and open source solutions to speed the device design-in process. The single chip transceiver requires only a few low cost external components, and customers can access Gerber files to significantly reduce the PCB layout time. In addition, the on-chip microcontroller simplifies the calibration and alignment costs during the manufacturing process. These all contribute to minimize your total cost of ownership. | {

Fanbase Press Interviews Comic Excitement Con Featured Guest A.C. Hachem
The following is an interview with author A.C. Hachem who will soon be appearing as a featured guest at Comic Excitement Convention in Los Angeles, CA, from January 14-15, 2017. In this interview, Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief Barbra Dillon chats with Hachem about his involvement with the convention, his debut novel, his upcoming projects, and more!
Barbra Dillon, Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief: You will soon be participating in Comic Excitement Convention this January 14-15, 2017, at the LA Convention Center. How did you become involved in the show, and what are you most looking forward to about the event?
A.C. Hachem: I learned of CX17 through my Facebook feed, actually, and immediately thought to myself, "Hey, this is exciting! A brand new comic convention, right here in my backyard!" It seemed like good timing and a great place to showcase my first sci-fi novel, so I reached out to the contact email listed on the site to learn more about the event. L.A. is a very big place, and pop culture is in its D.N.A. so I'm pretty excited about participating in a new event like Comic Excitement, witnessing its growth, and, hopefully, growing right along with it. So rad that so much fandom can be found under one roof!
BD: You will soon be releasing your debut science fiction novel, Dawn of Legaia. What can you tell readers about the premise of the book, and what inspired the project?
ACH: After spending a couple of years reading and writing poetry, I wanted to engage in a literary endeavor more commercial in nature. Growing up, I spent a lot of time playing video games, so I wanted to couple my love for fictional realms with my admiration for the written word. I started piecing characters and settings together based on my own hobbies and life experiences, and sooner or later, I was standing on Dawn of Legaia's foundation.
The story is about a twenty-two-year-old prodigy of science named Monte Cizek who has just been tasked with discovering a new energy system that can sustainably power Legaia, the Earth's first orbiting space colony. With the help of his mentor, Legaia's project lead Dr. Randal Porter, and Nate, the world's most advanced conscious android robot, Monte must overcome the obstacles that stand between him and Legaia's success. At the core of his frustration is L.A. business mogul Richard Hurlocke, whose greed and collusion send the fate of Legaia, and humanity, spiraling toward chaos.
BD: This book marks Book One of The Legaia Series. Do you have a certain number of books planned for the series, and is there a planned release schedule for each book?
ACH: These are the types of ponderings that keep writers up at night. The Legaia Series will definitely be at the very least, a trilogy, but if folks fall in love with these characters even half as much as I have, I think 5-7 installments could easily happen. Even some of the supporting characters, like the Itinerants (a band of noble, psychic vagabonds), I feel are interesting enough that I'd want to write more about them, develop them further, along with characters I haven't even conjured up yet. In a perfect world, I'd release one of these books every year, but we'll have to wait and see what direction life takes me in before I can commit to a concrete publishing schedule like that.
BD: In what capacity will you be appearing at Comic Excitement Convention, and are there any particular projects - in addition to Dawn of Legaia - that you will be promoting at the convention?
ACH: I'll be a Featured Guest at CX17 along with several other talented cosplayers, artists, illustrators, authors, and actors. Dozens more vendors and exhibitors will be present, as well, offering all sorts of comic book and pop culture goodies. Dawn of Legaia has been my passion project for a while now, so for the next few months, the bulk of my time will be spent promoting this novel, before I take a breather and write again.
BD: What do you hope that readers will take away from your books?
ACH: I feel Dawn of Legaia is a multi-faceted story that can be enjoyed by a wide array of people. The science isn't too hard or technical, but just legit enough to satisfy most science fiction enthusiasts. DoL can bring smirks and tears, so if readers find themselves experiencing a relatively broad spectrum of emotions while reading the book, then I'll be all right with that. I don't think I could list all the elements in the story if I tried, but I can say that it's a diverse story that hopefully appeals to a lot of people.
BD: Are there any other upcoming projects on which you are working that you would like to share with our readers?
ACH: As an independent artist, when the writer's hat comes off, the marketer's hat is placed firmly upon one's head. (Too many hats...) The next several months will be spent promoting Dawn of Legaia and arranging signing events at conventions, bookstores, and comic book shops throughout Los Angeles. But once that settles down, it'll come time to sit down and do some serious contemplating to ensure the sequel is even better.
BD: Lastly, what would you like to tell readers who want to learn more about your work?
ACH: My blog and social media pages are pretty good resources for readers and potential readers to check out, because for the most part, I only post about things I like there, and if you like the content within my blog posts or social media feeds, you'll most likely like the content within my novels, as well. I'm active on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. My blog can be found at achachem.com/blog and come 1/11/17, Dawn of Legaia can be purchased on amazon.com, bn.com, or dawnoflegaia.com. Happy Reading, Sci-Fi Fans!

Civic Pride
Occasionally in our news and updates we like to bring to the attention of our supporters news that is pertinent to our ethos, aims and purpose. Civic pride is at the heart of Look!
Civic Voice http://www.civicvoice.org.uk/about/ (the national charity for the civic movement in England) have recently issued their annual Review 2015. As previously reported it is heartening to see that collaborative planning remains a hot topic for the national organization. Please also take a look at what inspirational local people up and down the country are achieving by working together. http://civicvoice.org.uk/uploads/files/Review_2015_AW_FINAL_1.pdf
Civic Voice has also launched earlier this week this year's Design Awards http://www.civicvoice.org.uk/uploads/files/Flyer_2016_pdf_final.pdf The Civic Voice Design Awards are the people's choice for architecture and the built environment. Any project completed in the two-year period after 1 January 2014 and before 31 December 2015 are eligible. Applications close on 14th February 2016.
The people's choice of architecture and the built environment surely is what counts!
Welcome to the official Look! St Albans News/Events page. This page will be regularly updated in relation with upcoming developments etc. | {

What Do Volcanoes Taste Like?
Another week of weird and wonderful things that pour out of ten year old heads.
Kid A: You know Aragorn? In Lord Of The Rings? You know the elf woman he fancies? Well her dad is the singer in Aerosmith!
Kid B: Lord Elrond is the singer in Aerosmith!?!?!?!
He went on to describe Steven Tyler as "Elvis made completely of scarves".

Chiera Marilyn You never said I'm leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and nobody knows why. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart I hold a place that only you can fill. Love Teresa, John and Paul. | {

The flower of the Passion Fruit Vine (Passiflora incarnata), known locally as Maypop, is at once both strikingly unusual and lovely. The vines grow wild all around the Lowcountry and butterflies love them!
On Hilton Head Island, just a quick 45-minute drive from my home, is the Coastal Discovery Museum. The museum has been in existence for many years, having lived sort of a gypsy life moving from location to location until 2007 when it found a permanent home on the grounds of town-owned Honey Horn Plantation.
Honey Horn was a real, working plantation and while most folks around here sort of wince these days at the word, "plantation", it denotes a time and a place that I think for all the right reasons we should not forget. As George Santayana wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Remembering the past, good and bad, can be cathartic especially when it leads to a learning experience applicable to the present and the future.
This fellow was kind enough to be still while I took his picture.
However, this visit to Honey Horn centers on the Coastal Discovery Museum and specifically the butterfly enclosure. It's hatching time right now and if you find yourself in the area it's worth a stop to catch the monarchs and other species in various stages of their lifecycle. The enclosure is surrounded by lots of pretty butterfly and bee loving plants too. It's a serene way to spend a half hour and it's free*.
The thoughtful folks at the museum have a nice little set up to encounter butterfly eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalis. And if you are lucky, witness a chrysalis evolve into an adult butterfly -as I did!
While you're there, be sure to check out inside the museum – you can self-tour in about another 45 minutes. There are very good exhibits on the history of the Island and surrounding Lowcountry including the Native Islanders or Gullah. For the planners, there are also set talks and walks covering subjects like The Civil War era on the Island, a salt marsh discovery (wonderful for kids new to the Lowcountry environment) and special programs/events happening throughout the year. The Evening Turtle Talk & Walk off-site at the beach would be of particular interest to our family.
The Magnolia flower…in bloom now in the Lowcountry… need I say more?
For instance, last weekend was the annual Kiwanis Rib Burn Off. I was invited to be a judge and jumped at the chance – it was both educational and delicious! After sampling all those rib and barbeque entries (professional and amateur) I realized two things – I love barbeque more than ever and I need to work on my own barbeque recipes. Inspiration is a wonderful thing!
Inside the museum there are goodies for sale (of course I found those!) and informative exhibits about the local history including the Gullah or native Islanders. They also have special exhibits that change throughout the year- including sculpture, paintings, high-end crafts and last I visited – some very nice photography.
The cottage-style main building of the museum is a nice, cool respite from a warm Lowcountry summer afternoon.
items related to the cultural heritage and natural history of the property. As my 4-year old says, "very cool"! No doubt we'll be making another visit to the CDM very soon – hope to see you there!
*While the museum and its attraction are technically free, they do kindly ask for donations. | {

The Horse Park welcomes members to use this beautiful 272 acre equestrian facility, right in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Members have a choice of joining The Horse Park with an annual Full-Use Membership or a Basic Membership which allows one to Pay-As-You-Go. It is the goal of The Horse Park to keep membership costs as low as possible and consequently, the monthly cost for annual membership is comparable to a monthly fee for a local gym membership.
Click HERE to download the Dog Walking Rules.
Full use memberships which include full use of the facility are available for individuals (both dog and horse), trainers (dog or horse), families (dog or horse), farms, and individuals of an approved affiliate. The affiliate memberships include the US Pony Club (USPC) and the North American Junior and Young Riders Championships (NAJYRC) and are eligible for a special affiliate membership at a reduced rate.
Family membership is available for up to 4 core household members (parents and children) and a Farm membership is available for an individual plus 2 farm employees.
Trainers must have trainer liability insurance and name The Horse Park as additionally insured. Farms must submit liability insurance that insures the individual and farm employees and names The Horse Park as additionally insured. Proof of insurance must be provided with membership.
To ensure compatibility with the equestrian focus of the park, dog walkers must observe the dog walking rules and procedures.
Basic membership is designed for occasional park users who visit the park on an average of once a month or less. The Basic membership fee includes the first day-use pass. On subsequent visits, Basic members can purchase a day use pass upon each park visit. | {

As a loving cat parent, you probably can't wait to spoil your kitty, especially at meal time. In fact, if you don't get that meal ready on time, you're probably treated to some loud meows or pawing. But before you fill the bowl and give your cat food like usual, consider making your kitty work for her food.
Hold on! Isn't forcing your cat to work for food cruel? Well except in cases where physical health, disability, or limited mobility prevents it, it's actually beneficial for cats to use their brains to find food for themselves. Our cute little house kitties are descended from wildcats, which makes indoor living a little difficult. In fact, living indoors is linked to health problems in cats like urinary tract issues, diabetes, and obesity. The lack of mental stimulation can also lead to aggression, territory marking, and attention seeking.
According to a study in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, food puzzles can help reduce stress in cats and cause them to be less demanding of their owners. Food puzzles allow cats to use their hunting and foraging instincts and work for their food. These food puzzles range from simple toys that are meant to be hidden around the house so cats can track down their food like prey to more complex puzzles that require certain actions or behaviors that mentally challenge cats.
But you don't even need to purchase a food puzzle. They're very easy to make with egg cartons, bottles, containers, boxes, or even a paper bag you have lying around. Finding the right puzzle can be difficult, as cats are individuals with their own preferences. But through trial and error, you can find a toy that works for your cat.
The study showed very positive results for cats that switched to puzzle toys to get their food. Some of the individual effects were a reduction in feline obesity, decreased aggressive behavior cause by frustration, and reduced social anxiety and fear of people. More studies need to be done to find out what other benefits there are for cats who work for their food.
Some experts also believe that added mental stimulation from performing tricks can have similar effects for cats and help strengthen the bond between feline and owner. Clicker training is a great way to keep your cat mentally engaged at meal time, and the added mental stimulation can help reduce boredom and the potentially destructive behaviors associated with it.
We all love to spoil our kitties and treat them like royalty. But overall, your kitty will be happier and healthier if you give them an additional mental challenge during feeding. Cats are meant to hunt, track, and forage for their food, and plopping a bowl down in front of them deprives them of using those instincts. Try making them work for it and see if you notice any health benefits within six months or so. Your kitty will thank you.
Have you tried adding any mental challenges during meal time? How did it go? Did you notice any improvements in health or behavior? Let us know in the comments below! | {

Roasting either magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide produces the oxygen compound magnesium oxide, commonly called magnesia, MgO. It is a white solid used in the manufacture of high-temperature refractory bricks, electrical and thermal insulators, cements, fertilizer, rubber, and plastics. It is also used medically as a laxative and antacid. | {

This is pretty cool. Come oooooooon, warp drive!
Astronomers have discovered a distant planet that appears to have an atmosphere similar to Earth, the possibility of water at its surface and the theoretical potential to support life.
It is the first validated planet found in the "habitable zone," defined by the distance from a star that might allow for the existence of liquid water. The planet is orbiting Kepler-186, a dwarf star that's cooler than Earth's sun and burns hydrogen, according to a report in the journal Science. Life is most likely to arise on planets with liquid water.
The planet was found using the Kepler Space Telescope and confirmed by ruling out other possibilities for what astronomers were seeing with the Gemini North and Keck II telescopes, both located on Hawaii's Mauna Kea, according to Steve Howell, Kepler's project scientists and a report author.

Monumental Guest Houses of the Cape Winelands - why not make your way around the Cape Winelands by staying in stately guest houses that are also national monuments. Carrie Hampton explores the possibilities and has a few tipples along the way. When I see a grand old building with a small bronze plaque by the door announcing its National Monument status, I get the urge to peek inside and imbibe some of its historic past. The Cape Winelands of South Africa is positively bulging with historic houses built by its Dutch, French and English settlers, so it was not difficult to plan a tour staying solely in National Monument guest houses.I entered a world of perfectly restored Cape Dutch, Victorian and Georgian, houses, some of which had progressed from one architectural style to another over the years, making them quite unique to the Cape.
Centre of Wine Growing Area
When Simon van der Stel journeyed to a beautiful wooded mountainous area in 1679, (now less than 1 hour's drive from Cape Town), he liked it so much he named it after himself. Stellenbosch is now the centre of the Cape wine growing area and it is here that I started my quest for great wine and food in historic settings.Right in the middle of this university town, a stone's throw from the impressive neo-gothic Moeder Kerk (Mother Church first built in 1687), is an unpronounceable guest house by the name of d'Ouwe Werf. Small and inconspicuous with a symmetrical Georgian exterior, its reveals a deep warm interior, private sunny courtyard and palm-sheltered swimming pool.D'ouwe Werf (pronounced d'over verf) became an Inn in 1802, and it claims to be the oldest existing guest house in South Africa. On the original site stood a church, and like many Stellenbosch buildings that huddle together in tight thatched terraces, it burned down three times.Each fire gave it a change of face, culminating in its present orderly demeanour. Its restaurant was buzzing and the menu unexpectedly innovative with dishes such as fried feta with chilli fig chutney, and Karoo rack of lamb roast in cashew nut and rosemary crust with green pea and mint pesto. The wine list was no less interesting.
Over 250 Wine Estates
There are over 70 wine estates around Stellenbosch and over 250 in the winelands as a whole. The number of tasting rooms to choose from makes the mind and palate boggle. Especially as each estate offers a choice of several reds and whites, and usually a desert wine or port. 'Overripe plums and black cherries.'I stated positively as the ruby red Delaire Merlot swam around my glass. My partner looked sceptical and accused me of reading the description, which I had not. Practise makes perfect, I was obviously getting the hang of this wine tasting thing.Many wine estates also offer a taste of champagne or sparkling wine. Cap Classique is South Africa's version of French Champagne which tastes just as good, and at £4-5 a bottle is incredible value.The French had a hand in forming the flavour and quality of Cape wines from as early as 1688. The puritanical Dutch had sympathy for the persecuted French Huguenots and gave them passage to the Cape.In return they were expected to perform miracles on the woeful wine of the time. By the turn of the 19th century, Cape wine was the preferred tipple of European heads of state. Napoleon, it is said, would drink nothing other than the sugar-sweet cape wines.
French Corner
The French settled in a secluded mountain-ringed valley which became known as Franschhoek (French Corner). There is only one road in and out of this valley which not every tourist bothers to explore. It retains a village atmosphere with a whiff of grandeur from imposing entrance gates of French named wine estates all of which are worth a visit.Names like Chamonix, Dieu Donné, Ballon Rouge and Cabrière attest to the French influence. I headed for Grande Provence, now owned by the Italian Count Augusta - whose name appears on the Provence estate's bottles. The Cape Dutch manor house has a dark weathered thatch lying atop thick toothpaste-white plastered walls with a central curly-edge gable giving it perfect proportions.This is the Count's private summer residence and he often has to shoo guests off his veranda, who have inadvertently strayed over from the slave quarters. Where slaves once slept now paying guests are accommodated in five homely rooms. The upstairs suites are the most charismatic with wide beds under open thatch and beams.
Angel's Tears
Grand Provence is a working wine estate and the guest house, pool and restaurant are all surrounded by vineyards. Neat rows of sauvignon blanc are close enough to your dinner table to reach out and pick a bunch.The sweet Angels Tears label is the hallmark of this estate, derived from a legend where angels came at night to taste the new vintage and wept for joy at its excellence. The coup de grace of this estate is Le Provençal restaurant. Rated by Conde Nast as one of the top 60 in the world, it really was the finest meal I have ever eaten.The self taught South African chef has pioneered Franco Japanese cuisine - an edible masterpiece of delicate seafood and tangy flavours. He breaks boundaries with his salmon ice cream starter or sweetened warm oysters. His cheese platter alternative desert of creamy gorgonzola ice cream proved exactly the right combination.The loin of Karoo lamb was soft as velvet and exquisitely tender in the mouth. 'Deconstruction Cuisine' with foamed ingredients (literally through a siphon), is next on the list of innovations at this restaurant, so when this trend hits London, remember you heard about it here first.The way to top off a visit to Franschhoek is a morning of wine tasting on horseback. Whether a beginner or expert, everybody feels relaxed after several glasses of wine and we giggled and jogged our way from one estate to another. The proud Anglo Arab horses transported us majestically through the valley and we ended up at Mont Rochelle nibbling cheese and crackers to soak up some of the alcohol.
Flawless Cape Dutch House
Good food was not in short supply on this winelands meander. Roggeland Country House in the Paarl wine area, serves fine 4-course meals in the rather hushed environs of their historic home.It was all a bit too quiet and civilised so I suggested that the four tables of couples, pull into the middle to form a big chattering table. It worked well and we finished with a brandy tasting competition at which French Cognac won convincingly over the South African, admittedly much cheaper variety.Roggeland is regarded as a flawless example of Cape Dutch architecture, set in a fertile valley protected by a wall of mountains which turn purple in the dying sun. The old house overlooking the vegetable garden was built circa 1693 and the larger more imposing manor house in 1779 for the 'du Toit' French Huguenot family.The outbuildings, also all thatched and whitewashed but without the impressive gables of the main houses, have been converted into bedrooms of ample proportions. The whole estate looks appealing and elegant.
Constantia Winelands
One family whose ancestor arrived on the first boat to the Cape in 1652, bears the Cloete name, which is synonymous with the Constantia winelands of Cape Town. Nicky Cloete runs the Alphen hotel surrounded by the oldest vineyards in the Cape.The Alphen's vineyards have long been sold off, which makes little difference to the visitor who may still follow the stream up the mountain side through lush green countryside, only 15 minutes from the city of Cape Town.The double story manor house has a somewhat severe façade, softened by unruly trees. The hotel is full of antiques, grandfather clocks and oil paintings. Its history positively seeps through the walls.It has an old-fashioned quality, right down to superb service from a waiter who epitomises the qualities of an old English butler. Contrasting with the hushed tones of the hotel is the adjoining Boer and Brit pub frequented mainly by locals.
There are so many guest houses in the Cape with a few centuries under their belt and a bronze plaque on the wall and hundreds of wine estates. I just scratched the surface and feel obliged to continue my quest to visit all the monumental guest houses that South Africa's Winelands have to offer. I may be gone sometime!

These flavorful plant-based burgers are packed with plenty of protein and fiber to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Place the quinoa in a small saucepan along with 1 cup of water. Bring the water to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan. Cook 10-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and quinoa is cooked. Remove from heat.
Heat the oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Sauté until onions are softened, 5-6 minutes. Place the mixture in a large bowl. Add approximately 1½ cans of black beans to the bowl and using a potato masher or fork, mash all of the ingredients together until a pasty mixture forms.
Stir in the remaining beans along with the tomato paste, egg, corn, cilantro, chipotles, cumin and salt. Stir in the cooked quinoa and ground oats until evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into 8 equal patties, compacting them well with your hands as you form them. Place the patties on a baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
To make the yogurt sauce, puree the yogurt, chipotles, adobo sauce, cilantro, lime juice, and honey together in a mini food processor until smooth.
When ready to eat, preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray and place the patties on the sheet. Cook 10-12 minutes until the patties are golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip the over and cook another 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can pan fry the patties in a skillet with a little olive oil. Serve the patties on the buns with the cilantro yogurt sauce and toppings of your choice.
Nutritional information is for the patties plus sauce.
* To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Use in recipe in place of 1 egg. | {

HomeUncategorizedIs Your Baggage a Pain in Your Neck and Back?
Every day of your life you are probably using some sort of "baggage," whether you are traveling for business, going shopping, going out to eat and to the movies, or lugging books back and forth to school. People from all walks of life use suitcases, purses, shoulder bags, and backpacks to transport their belongings, putting wear and tear on their shoulders, backs, and necks. Since you cannot get away from carrying items from point A to point B, making sure you pick the right type of bag for the job can help minimize back strain and the resulting neck and lower back injuries.
Purses – Women carry purses not just to accessorize, which they love to do, but because the purse holds important toiletries: wallet, lipstick, cellphone, keys, etc. Today's style has purses being oversized, and women tend to fill up the extra space, adding extra strain on the shoulders and causing neck and shoulder pain. When trying to decide on a purse, the American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. recommends breaking it out into three categories: material, bag size, and straps. Material: Although leather is hardy and beautiful to look at, it is also heavy. Consider choosing a lighter material like microfiber or fabric, especially for a purse you will use on long trips. Bag size: When running short errands, choose a compact purse that is easy to carry. Pack only those items you need for the trip in the purse, leaving the extras in the car or at home. This lightens your load. If you're headed out to dinner, choose a simple clutch. For the longer trips, like a day of shopping, consider a backpack purse that evenly distributes the weight on your shoulders. Pack it carefully, avoiding too much weight. Straps: Avoid purses with thin straps as they won't distribute the weight well. Wider straps are better. For long straps, carry the purse with the strap slung across the opposite shoulder, and be sure to switch sides often. If the purse has handles or short straps, change the position of the strap often, avoiding muscle fatigue.
Backpacks – Everyone from children to adults carries backpacks. They make convenient carry-ons when flying and are ideal for student textbooks and homework. The big drawback to backpacks is that they can be filled with too much weight for the carrier. NBC News states that a backpack should not weigh more than 10 to 15 percent of the individual's body weight. Going over that puts too much strain on the body's shoulders and back, creating problems. Chose a lightweight material for the backpack itself so you don't take up too much of your weight limit. Make sure that you adjust where your backpack hangs. It should sit close to your lower back, which is your center of gravity. Adjust the straps so that the backpack sits close against your body. SHAPE recommends padded, wide straps to spread the weight of the bag out over more surface space.
Suitcases – When traveling requires something larger than a purse or backpack, the suitcase comes out of the closet. Rolling suitcases are an amazing invention and definitely an improvement over awkwardly carrying a heavy suitcase in one hand; but Mike McMorris, an assistant professor of physical therapy at UNC-Chapel Hill, says that rolling a suitcase on just two wheels has its drawbacks. Pulling a suitcase at a tilt creates a pull on the arm and back. The best choice when traveling is a suitcase on four wheels that rotate 360 degrees. Make sure the handle is at your waist for the ideal height. Having an inverted U for the handle shape is more ergonomically friendly than the inverted T. One last item to keep in mind is to pick a handle that fits your hand. Spending a little extra money on the proper suitcase may keep you from spending money visiting the doctor for neck and back pain.
No one wants to stop traveling and carrying personal belongings with while shopping. Being wise in picking what types bags you use may save you some pain and suffering in the future. If you find yourself already experiencing distracting neck or back pain, contact the specialists at Atlanta Brain and Spine Care, and let them get you up and running pain-free once again. | {

Small Screen Reviews
Motherless Brooklyn Review
The owner of a private detective agency is killed in 1950s New York, and one of his apprentices, a PI who suffers from Tourettes, is determined to solve the mystery which may incriminate some powerful figures.
Who's In It?
Ed Norton (American History X, Fight Club, The Incredible Hulk, & more recently Isle Of Dogs)
Bruce Willis (Die Hard 1-5, Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, & more recently Glass)
Other notables include:
Alec Baldwin (Glengarry Glen Ross, 30 Rock, The Departed, & more recently Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation & Fallout)
Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle, Concussion, A Wrinkle In Time, & more recently The Morning Show)
Director: Edward Norton (Keeping The Faith)
Audiences Expect:
Almost two decades in the making, Edward Norton's second foray in the director's chair, following Keeping The Faith, really has been a labour of love.
Based on the nobel by Jonathan Lethem, Motherless Brooklyn follows the trials and tribulations of private detective and rank outsider Lionel Essrog – a man with a fine brain who is afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome meaning he is rarely taken seriously and nicknamed Freakshow.
Nevertheless when his boss and mentor Frank Minna is bumped off after getting too close to a story, Lionel is the only guy left in the office determined to look into it. As he delves deeper, taking a few beatings along the way, he uncovers a tale of greed and corruption that goes right to the top.
Aside from writing, directing and producing, Edward Norton also takes on the lead role of Essrog, with carefully developed ticks and mannerisms reminiscent of his performance in The Score, delivering a powerful lead performance.
And he has managed to call in a few favours from an array of talents including the likes of Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin, Willem Dafoe, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Leslie Mann.
Set in the 1950s, Motherless Brooklyn is beautifully shot and carefully crafted with more than a few nods to those classic film noirs such as The Maltese Falcon or even Chinatown, however, running at close to two and a half hours, it is very much a slow potboiler.
Top-notch performances and great attention to detail ensure that this slow potboiler holds the attention.

This is day 71 of my 90 day challenge to do one new painting from life each day.
It's also the fourth day of trying something new. I love fairy tales – and folk literature in general – the earthiness, vivid characters, odd story lines, and simple but deep truths. I've been thinking about ways to translate that admiration into paint, and this is the result.
It isn't my intent to tell a particular fairy tale, or even to relate one story in general, but rather to capture some of the fantasy and quirky internal logic that makes these stories work so well. Odds are pretty good I'll be back with Fairy Tale No. 5 before long… maybe even tomorrow. | {

Teen girl, nephew missing from Northwest Side
Fourteen-year-old Maya White and her nephew, 3-year-old Elijah Williams, were last seen near Pulaski and Wilson on Chicago's Northwest Side. They were heading to a pizza restaurant.
Family members say Maya is bipolar and has not been taking her medication. She was wearing a peach shirt, jeans and black shoes. Her hair is dark, but she has blonde bangs.
Elijah was last seen wearing a white long sleeve shirt and gray pants. He was pulling a blue plastic wagon.
Friends took to the streets Friday hoping a passerby may have seen the children.
"It's kind of nerve wracking and anxiety builds up, and stuff like that, because it's a child. He is 3 years old. It's sad," said Alexandra Rodriguez, Logan Square Neighborhood Association.
Maya had been staying with her sister, Autumn Bastyr, Elijah's mom.
"He has a twin sister at home that is attached at the hip with him, and she misses him so much. She hasn't stopped asking about him," she said in tears.
Relatives say the children picked up a pizza and were on their way home as Elijah's grandmother followed alongside in a car on Pulaski. But in the block between Sunnyside and Wilson the two children and the wagon vanished.
"We are hoping that she has him somewhere at a friend's house, she's keeping him safe, and hopefully when she sees this she will do the right thing and bring him home, because we just want both of them home," said Brianna Bastyr, Elijah's aunt.
Family members say Maya had recently skipped medication for mental illness and run away while living with her mother in Rogers Park. She was later found in the neighborhood.
"She was good with the kids and she loves them a lot, and that's why I don't understand why she would take him and put him or herself in danger for that matter. I just don't know what she is thinking. I just want her to come home safe and bring him home safe," said Autumn Bastyr.
Anyone who has seen the children should call Chicago police. | {

Buy? Yes Borrow? Yes
Pages: 344 Date: September 2006
Publisher: Persephone Books
Dorothy B Hughes (1904-93) took a journalism degree in Kansas City, Missouri and started her distinguished career with a prize-winning book of poems. Her first hard-boiled thriller appeared in 1940 and it was followed by more than a dozen in the next decade. Three were made into noir films and in 1944 Hughes went to Hollywood to assist Hitchcock on his film, Spellbound. Here she met Ingrid Bergman and consequently Humphrey Bogart came to buy the film rights to one of her novels.
The Expendable Man was her last book and appeared in 1963, a time when Hughes was living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It combines high suspense with an examination of the endemic racism in the town of Phoenix, Arizona. Hughes had learnt her craft thoroughly; influenced by deep readings of Eric Ambler, Graham Greene and William Faulkner. She also had written a critical study of Erle Stanley Gardner, perhaps best remembered for the Perry Mason series. It is the lawyers, petty criminals, politicians, soured plainclothesmen of Phoenix that form the suffocating web around the novel's heroic protagonist, doctor Hugh Densmore, that gives this novel a dramatic momentum and an insight into the morally corrupt towns- folk and contrasts Phoenix and its suburbs, with the magnificent circling and exotic desert.
Densmore, a medic from Los Angeles hospital driving through along the highway from Indio, through the hot desert littered with hazy clumps of mesquite, on an early May evening is making his way to a family event in Phoenix. He stops to give a lift to the feckless, reckless and manipulative Iris, a rebellious teenager on a wild and urgent mission. This initial act of generosity is one which Hugh comes to deeply regret and propels him into an entanglement of Kafkaesque proportions. Without revealing the taut and swiftly flowing plot, which would spoil the reading, suffice it to say that carefully crafted dialogue and what seems like Densmore's paranoia makes this a thrilling and convincing read. With a combination of dramatic skill and sensitive understanding, huge issues of crime, illegal abortion and diehard racial discrimination are handled. This compelling novel is an insight into America at a time when President Kennedy was encountering the vigorous opposition and enduring rigidity of demagogues like Governor George Wallace.
The engaging and driven plot has many heart-rending at moments. Hugh Densmore is forced to dissemble to his own family. Indeed circumstances conspire to inhibit his free pursuit of Ellen, the elegant lady that he loves and admires. A significant pleasure in reading Hughes is her poetic and cinematic description of atmosphere; Phoenix, its peculiar suburbs and the drive across the copper and tan sands surrounding the highways that lead into it. There are passages describing anonymous motels, drugstores and diners that repeatedly remind the reader of the anonymity encountered in Edward Hopper's well-known painting Nighthawks. Dominic Power points out in an intriguing afterword just how this background scene was an important prompt in Hughes's writing. The bleached desert motorway becomes reminiscent of a Georgia O' Keefe landscape. The heat of the day personifies the crushing rapidity impinging on Densmore forcing him to seek a resolution of the situation into which he has been placed.
There is a sense of isolation which dire circumstances force upon Hugh and is particularly poignant in relation to the beautiful Ellen, whose encouragement and earnest support underlines his compelled dependency upon her and his consequent loss of a certain sense of dignity. This is reinforced in pellucid passages, Hugh and Ellen drove away in silence, over the winding deserted roads that led to town. The moon was high and white; each fence post, each clump of cactus was as distinctly outlined as by the sun. The mountains were moon-gray against the deep night sky. A dog barked from a distant house, the only reminder that they were not on a distant planet.
Within the confines of a provocative thriller, Dorothy Hughes has written a superb evocation of American society on the turning point of change. There is a tangible feeling of temperature and pressure- the effect of this is to produce a metamorphosis in the characters which is as instructive as it is engaging to read. Persephone Books have done an excellent job in resurrecting this classic novel which appeals on many levels and holds an emotional tone which is bracing, moving and instructive about the creative struggle for goodness, legality, fairness and truth.
Many thanks to Sally Beaumann of Persephone Books for handing the reviewer a personal copy of this penetrating text at the inimitable Morrab Library in Penzance. Persephone Books has an attractive blog.

A Moon For The Misbegotten – December 2006
Dec7 by sheilajtheatre
Experience: 9/10
By Eugene O'Neill
Directed by Howard Davies
Venue: Old Vic Theatre
Date: Wednesday 6th November 2006
Although I enjoyed this play enormously, and suspect that this is about the best production of it we're likely to see (even assuming we get to see another one!) I felt it was just below 10/10 status for me. But only just. The play itself is a marvel, reminding me of the skill and power of Terence Rattigan in In Praise of Love. The story is basically about the relationships among three people. For long periods there are only two actors on stage, yet it constantly gripped and moved me. I wanted to see what happened to these people – would they make it out of their own personal hells?
The set was visible from the off. A Hopper-esque mid-western landscape with a splash of Dali in the crooked shack, and achingly blue skies stretching into forever while a few clouds failed to look important in the distance. Lovely. Actually, the play is set in Connecticut, which I don't associate with the empty prairie look, but then what do I know?
Eve Best plays Josie Hogan, the daughter of Phil Hogan (Colm Meaney). The opening scene involves her helping her brother Mike (Eugene O'Hare) to run off. He's tired of the old man's beatings, and wants to better himself. We learn that there's another brother who's done the same thing before. Josie chooses to stay with her Dad; she can handle him OK, as we see when he turns up looking for his lazy good-for-nothing son. She gets a big stick and threatens him when he turns on her and he soon backs down.
Their conversation is rambling, and entertaining, and gives us a lot of the background. They're working a pretty difficult farm – mostly stones – and not actually paying rent to the owner, Jim Tyrone (Kevin Spacey) the son of the original owner. Jim is a drunk. He used to be an actor, and apparently talks like he's headed back to the bright city lights, but he never seems to do anything but mooch around and drink away his inheritance. He comes over regularly to hang out with Phil, mostly in the nearby bar, and despite his joking around we can see he's really interested in Josie. Their relationship develops over the course of a drunken, moon-soaked night, and naturally we find out why Jim drinks. Phil has been spinning yarns again to encourage Josie to get Jim to propose, so that she can have a good life and not have to keep working on the farm, but it doesn't quite work out. Although there's not a happy ending as such, there is a sense of completion, as Josie forgives Jim for his assumed guilt.
We also see one T Steadman Harder (Billy Carter) whose land adjoins Phil's farm. Phil has been taking liberties with Harder's ice pond, tearing down the fence between the properties and letting his pigs enjoy themselves in a nice cool pool. Harder turns up to try and thrash things out, but ends up getting thrashed himself, as Phil and Josie gang up on him and accuse him of letting their pigs onto his land where they might drown or catch a cold from the chilly water! Very entertaining, and it shows father and daughter working as a team, which they do very effectively.
All the performances were great, with so much detail in them it was difficult to know who to watch especially when all three leads were on stage together. I do hope this production wins awards.

Because WE'RE FUCKING SICK of pedophiles and child murderers
Discussion in 'News and Current Events' started by RavenEyes, Feb 24, 2014.

More than 10,000 people crammed the streets of Springfield, Mo., on Saturday night to remember Hailey Owens — the smiling 10-year-old girl who was abducted two blocks from her home and killed last week.
The horrific crime allegedly committed by Craig Michael Wood, a longtime public school employee, shocked a community and brought it together for a march and moment of silence.

http://www.ky3.com/news/local/ride-for-hailey-owens-draws-thousands/21048998_24633520
Thousands of bikers decked out in leather, pink, and purple could be seen for miles taking over the streets of Springfield Sunday afternoon.
"They have a 30 mile route around the city. Someone came up with the idea of surrounding Springfield with this ride for Hailey and it's been incredible," said Bill Roark, American Legion Post Commander.
More than 2,000 bikers rode in the procession, which was led by Hailey's Mom.
"This type of thing is so hard for a parent to deal with and as a mother myself, when you become a mom you instantly imagine your child being in that position and I just wanted that mother to feel support and let her know that shes not alone," said Whitney Pendergrass.
And thousands more showed support by lining the streets to cheer on the riders, and by participating in a benefit auction and raffle to raise money for Hailey's memorial fund.
"When we first started putting the ride together we expected maybe one or 200 riders would want to come out, that's how small we thought it would be. Within hours of putting it on facebook as an event we had 300 or 400 people signed up saying they were coming," said Lana Kincaid, co-organizer of the event.
"It's been one of the most fantastic things. I'm an old guy and this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen," said Roark.

Also took care of the WBC- they don't show up if it's scawy.

Hailey is the face I will never forget. I am glad for her family they received so much love and support.

Her funeral was today (Wednesday). Bikers (not sure if Patriot Riders) showed up as did about 100 others to protect the dignity outside. They wore her favorite colors (pink and purple). No reports of WBC anywhere in sight.
At 12:01 Wednesday, a MO inmate was executed 25 years after he'd been convicted of basically the same crime. He and another man (currently on death row) kidnapped a 15-yr-old from her driveway as she waited for the school bus (while her parents were inside getting ready for work), raped, tortured/mutilated and killed her.
Hailey's death was grim. That bastard better get sentenced to death for what he did to her body after he kidnapped and killed her.
laughingsock Member
I wonder if he will be allowed to get mail soon, Craig wood that is. Hmm wouldn't it be something if he received a copy of some hopeful, loving letter penned by Haily herself. Hundreds of them everyday he waits on death row for however long it takes. Maybe he'd snap and save the state the trouble.

Or he gets his rocks off reading something like that, too risky. I understand where you're coming from but feel these types deserve only the basic humane treatment, and nothing more.
Perfecto, Feb 27, 2014
Yeah, your right. It just pisses me off that this scum will live for 20plus yearz till justice is served.
I'm in complete agreement with you, another bit of aggravation for me is the fact they don't have the usual day to day worries like the rest of us, paying bills etc. They get the benefit of further education and free at that. Three square meals and a roof over their heads. Plus medical and dental.
And mixing with their own kind must provide further thrills for them.
There is no justice for the victim or the family here, and it sickens me to the core.
These people forgive themselves for their actions.
Disambiguation said: ↑
what sort or human being could forgive themselves for stealing the life of an innocent child.
purely rhetorical question
the same kind of human being who could steal the life of an innocent child
I beg to differ, in their eyes no forgiveness is needed. For some of them it's their idea of fun, and for others they're answering a more primitive voice in their head. Possibly because of abuse in their childhood (not that everyone who has been a victim goes on to abuse in the future) or because it's the voice of their own special god telling them to do it. No excuse however they justify it.
I'm all for giving these people the harshest possible penalties, they should be made to suffer with whatever it takes to get them to that mental state where they are sickened by their actions.

Though I liked the above post and for the most agree, I still think that people who have this type of demented predatory nature should do society a favour and go jump in volcano before they hurt others. Keeping it simple, they should get help before they go and act out their weirdness on anybody.
Good fucking Gord this planet has some messed up parts. *sigh*
(side note~ I have no use for pedos or other abusive/sociopathic fuckwads, and would not feel bad about beating them to death with barbed-wire whips, maybe a bit sick, but fuck them! I had to rescue my own kid from a horrid situation almost a decade ago, I pray for the day I run into the sub-human shitbag that hurt her. I have good reason to grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.)
Ogsonofgroo, Feb 27, 2014
Ogs, my feelings are they should be made to suffer and feel that suffering too, get a sense of how their victims felt and then we give them the beating with barbed wire whips.
My greatest fear when it comes to making these people suffer is that I become as low as they are. I want them to really feel pain and and know fear too.
They showed their victims no mercy, but somewhere the line has to be drawn or we become them.
Your daughter had a good strong father who rescued her before it was too late, and you'll always get my upthumb. | {

Gensler designed the offices for commercial real estate company Xenia Hotels & Resorts, located in Orlando, Florida.
After years of continued growth, Xenia was looking for a new space that enhances the way they can work, and better supports their company culture and mission as a REIT focused solely on a Hospitality portfolio.
Organized around the concept of "50 steps," the design is informed by the diverse experiences available in resort and hospitality projects, where each new destination is just steps away. At Xenia, employees can easily move between offices, work bullpens, conference rooms, collaboration zones, and break rooms in 50 steps or less. Many of these destinations express as dynamic disruptions within the thoughtful and sophisticated workplace environment. Branding and storytelling become breadcrumbs along the 50 steps between the key moments that express Xenia's story.
A multi-purpose conference room shares space with an open lounge and café that blends into the reception. Supporting a number of different work modes, this flexible area can be converted from a main lobby, to a conference room, to a collaboration zone with custom mobile furniture. Company labs, or "Co.Lab" areas, are conveniently placed near workstations that give employees another setting to collaborate.
To maximize the budget, special emphasis was placed on the high impact amenity spaces. A warm entry lends to the dramatic hospitality feel of the space with elements that hint at boutique hotel. Micro-offices measuring 70 square feet allow for focus work and allow more room for team work areas. Workstations arranged to form work studios are equipped with easily configurable furniture to support flexible individual and team work styles. | {

The rivière des Fèves is a tributary of the Châteauguay River. It flows in the municipalities of Saint-Urbain-Premier and Sainte-Martine, in the Beauharnois-Salaberry Regional County Municipality, in the region administrative Montérégie, Quebec, Canada).
The course of the river is served on the northeast side by the Rivière-des-Fèves North road and on the southwest side by the Rivière-des-Fèves Sud road.
The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December to the end of March. Safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
Geography
The main hydrographic slopes neighboring the Rivière-des-Fèves are:
north side: Châteauguay River;
east side: Clermont stream, Noire river;
south side: Rivière des Anglais;
west side: Châteauguay River, Bouchard stream, rivière des Anglais.
Rivière-des-Fèves rises west of the hamlet "Norton Creek", north of Chemn des Bourdeau.
Throughout its course towards the northwest, the river is bordered by a road on the northeast side (rang de la Rivière des Fèves Nord) and another on the southwest side (rang de la Rivière des Fèves Sud), except its last segment.
The Beans River flows northwest on in agricultural areas, collecting several streams.
The river flows on the south bank of the Châteauguay River, south of the village of Sainte-Martine, downstream from the mouth of the English River and about downstream from the route 138 bridge.
Toponymy
The toponym "Rivière des Fèves" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

Since our open space event last week, a consortium of interested organisations has been drawn together to make a bid based on the ideas and discussions.
The timescale to get the application together is very tight, and we need to put together ideas for the first six months consultation programme and to outline the 3 to 10 year arts development program that follows (fingers crossed).
There is a fuller explanation of the open space session and the Arts Council England Creative people and places scheme here on the web site.
The scheme is about increasing the number of people that take part and experience high quality arts.
We would like to invite you to tell us why you think people in the area don't get involved, what you or your organisation think should happen to let more people have a say, and if there were some investment, any ideas you might have for a high profile event or activity, and if you know, how much this might cost. Use the form below to send us your ideas.
See what others have submitted here!
Finally, please feel free to pass this message on, to keep an eye on the website for updates and to make sure you put up any thoughts and comments on the People and Places scheme for South Holland and Boston. | {

PAB News
Book on Origins of Community Development Makes References to PAB, Congregation
In his 2018 book, Democratizing Finance: Origins of the Community Development Financial Institutions Movement, Clifford N. Rosenthal makes references to the key role Adrian Dominican Sisters played in the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) movement – and in bringing the Sisters' social justice focus to finance.
The author notes the Congregation's establishment in 1974 of the Portfolio Advisory Board (PAB), which, rooted in Catholic social justice teachings, brings social justice to finance through shareholder advocacy with corporations and community investment (page 73).
He also cites the Congregation's "leading role among faith-based community investors" when, in 1982, it awarded a $30,000 low-interest loan to the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (CDCU). He notes that, of all community investors, "the Adrian Dominicans were distinguished by their strong engagement: they wanted to see the impact of their investment first-hand, and where needed, to try to help out with workouts when organizations ran into trouble" (pp. 121-122).
Finally, he cites the recent critique of CDFIs by Adrian Dominican Sister Corinne Florek, OP, consultant to the PAB and Director of the Religious Communities Investment Fund and the Mercy Partnership Fund. Sister Corinne has called on CDFIs to remember their original purpose, to grant loans to community organizations seen as too risky for commercial banks, and not to get side-tracked by focusing on the strength of their own financial performance.
For more information on the Portfolio Advisory Board of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, explore their webpages or contact them at 517-266-352 or [email protected].

Adrian Dominican Sisters Share Stories of Experience in Resilient Communities
August 28, 2018, Adrian, Michigan – Neighbors in an abandoned area of Detroit, people evicted from their ancestral lands and living in a "squatters' community" in a desert area of the Dominican Republic, and the homeless population in the State of Washington. People in these situations were able to overcome their desperate circumstances, form community, and improve their lives with the help of individual Adrian Dominican Sisters.
| VIEW A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE PRESENTATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE |
Sister Patricia Siemen, OP, Prioress, lights the Christ Fire at the beginning of Resiliency in our Midst.
The Sisters who ministered with the people to form these communities shared what they learned during an educational forum that was designed to help others in the Congregation to help create resiliency in their own communities. One of four Enactments of General Chapter 2016 commits the Congregation to "facilitate and participate in creating resilient communities with people who are relegated to the margins, valuing their faith, wisdom, and integrity."
Although resilient communities can be defined in a number of ways, the Adrian Dominican Sisters have adopted this working definition: "one that has a long-range sustainable vision that emerges from the community through an inclusive, collaborative process that engages diverse grassroots leaders and persons who have traditionally been marginalized; creates partnerships built on trust; seeks equity and justice; draws on spiritual wisdom and is healing; and reflects a concern for future generations, living within Earth's regenerative capacity (i.e., 'one-planet thinking'). These elements combine to promote the well-being and vitality of the community and its ability to address ongoing stressors from crises or disasters and sustain itself into the future."
The Adrian Dominican Sisters' Leadership Council designated 2018 as a year of study about resilient communities. Resiliency in our Midst, held on August 22 at Weber Retreat & Conference Center, brought forward the personal experiences of Sisters Janet Stankowski, OP; Maurine Barzantni, OP; and Judy Byron, OP.
While the ministries they spoke of differ, the three Sisters also spoke of ways that they specifically fit the Congregation's working definition of resilient communities. Many of these communities fit a number of aspects of the definition, but below are highlights.
"… engages diverse grassroots leaders and persons who have traditionally been marginalized."
Sister Maurine Barzantni, OP
In their ministry, Sisters Maurine Barzantni, OP, and Renee Richie, OP, waked with and fostered the leadership abilities of the local women living with their families in a cluster of houses – essentially a "squatter's community" at the crossroads of Cruce de Arroyo Honda in the Dominican Republic. "We told them we couldn't lead the meetings because our Spanish wasn't good," Sister Maurine said. They role-played with the women so that they could manage an upcoming meeting – and helped them to build up their confidence. "About a dozen women emerged as leaders."
Once the women came to understand that God did not want them to be poor, they worked together to meet the community needs that they themselves identified. Working as committees, they brought to their community prefabricated latrines; medical services, such as weekly consultations by two doctors, a pharmacy, and a medical lab; and Fe y Alegria Espiritu Santo, a school that began with 127 first-grade students ages 6 to 16. Because of earlier lack of educational opportunities, many of the students began first grade at an older age. The school now boasts a K-12 program with 1,500 students and professional teachers who graduated from their school.
"Draws on spiritual wisdom and is healing …"
Sister Janet Stankowski, OP
Sister Janet Stankowski, OP, and Associate Patricia Gillis founded Voices for Earth Justice as an interfaith community "praying, learning, and taking action together for Earth justice." The community was developed to address the environmental injustice plaguing the people of Detroit. In 2011, they purchased five lots with two buildings in the Brightmoor area of Detroit and built Hope House as a "gathering place and resource for neighbors and visitors," especially around the area of environmental justice.
Voices for Earth Justice offers a number of workshops and retreats and leads the community in actions such as climate marches and lobbying with legislators, but remains focused on spirituality. "Prayer was and is our focus – to bring people together to pray for peace for all creation," Sister Janet said. "We believe a spiritual transformation was needed to make the pollution and destruction stop."
"Creates partnerships built on trust …"
Sister Judy Byron, OP
Sister Judy Byron, OP, serves on the Board of Directors of Mercy Housing Northwest, an organization founded in 1992 through a collaboration of five communities of women religious in the Seattle area – including the Edmonds Dominican Sisters, now merged with the Adrian Dominican Sisters – and Mercy Housing, Inc. The goal was to create stable, permanent, affordable housing for groups that could otherwise be homeless, including low-income families, seniors, and immigrants and refugees.
Today, Mercy Housing Northwest manages about 54 properties, residential complexes in the State of Washington that offer services such wellness and after-school programs. Many of those complexes were developed through partnerships. For example, Emerald City Commons – a 60-unit complex in Seattle – was developed through collaboration with an evangelical church, which had owned the property and wanted to build housing on it. Mercy Housing Northwest partnered with them to develop the complex, Sister Judy said. She explained that Mercy Housing Northwest also collaborates with government organizations, foundations, and other social service and non-profit agencies to develop housing for people in need.
The models described by Sisters Janet, Maurine, and Judy can serve as inspiration for the various Resilient Communities Committees in the Congregation's Mission Chapters explore areas in their geographic region where they can work with local residents to create resilient communities.

Latino Credit Union Offers Financial Services to Residents
By Robert Rudy
There was a time in the early 1990s, Alison Yonas recounts, that a rapid increase in the size of the Latino community in North Carolina was creating a serious crime problem for new immigrants. "Some newcomers were coming from places where people did not use financial institutions or feel comfortable doing so," she said. "They were easy targets for robbery and home invasions."
In 2000, as a grassroots response to crime against Latino immigrants, the Latino Community Credit Union was established to provide a safe place for the Latino immigrants to save money and become more comfortable with financial situations. Through the years, the credit union has received loans from both the Religious Communities Investment Fund (RCIF), directed by Adrian Dominican Sister Corinne Florek, OP, and the Adrian Dominican Sisters, through the Portfolio Advisory Board (PAB).
The low-interest loans have helped the Latino Credit Union in its services to the local community. "When people come from countries where financial systems have failed or their experiences aren't as strong, and you come to this country with issues of language and cultural concerns about entering a bank, it's hard to feel comfortable," said Alison, Vice Present of Development and Strategic Investments for the credit union.
Based in Durham, the Latino Credit Union now has 75,000 members in 12 branches throughout North Carolina. Alison said the credit union provides bilingual and bicultural services which do not require a credit history and are geared to be accessible to members – from starter accounts to checking accounts, IRAs to affordable mortgage loans.
RCIF has been involved with the Latino Credit Union since lending the organization $150,000 in 2010, Alison said. She explained that the relationship of RCIF and the credit union is an easy one because of the alignment of their missions and because "people with RCIF are leaders in socially responsible investing."
The Latino Credit Union provides banking solutions and education through workshops on such topics as budgeting, saving, and credit. "The workshops are one of the most inspiring parts of the work that we do," Alison said. "We have a graduation ceremony at the end of the workshops. For some of our members, it's their first experience graduating."
The credit union has also helped more than 2,300 "dreamers" – those who immigrated to the United States as children with their parents without formal papers – with a loan for the $465 application fee for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Latino Credit Union has provided more of these loans than any other country, Alison said.

Adrian Dominican Sisters Offer Educational Forum on Resilient Communities
July 23, 2018, Adrian, Michigan – The second in a series of educational forums on resilient communities is being offered by Adrian Dominican Sisters from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 22, 2018, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center. Titled "Resiliency in our Midst," the program includes presentations by Adrian Dominican Sisters Judy Byron, OP, Maurine Barzantni, OP, and Janet Stankowski, OP, on their experiences in serving in resilient communities.
The program is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Early registration is recommended by calling 517-266-4000 or visiting http://bit.ly/RCweber.
About 26 years ago, Sister Judy and women religious from four other congregations in the Seattle area responded to the growing problem of homelessness by building partnerships among religious, developers, and residents to create affordable housing and wrap-around services. By reaching out to neighbors and working with others, Mercy Northwest Housing became a national model for comprehensive community development.
In 1960, Sister Judy entered the Congregation of the Dominican Sisters of Edmonds (Washington), which merged with the Adrian Dominican Congregation in 2003. She was elected to serve on the Edmonds Dominicans' General Council and later as Prioress. She was one of the founders of the Intercommunity Peace and Justice Center, where she serves as Program Director. She is also the Director of the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment.
Sister Maurine and the late Renee Richie, OP, began to minister with displaced and impoverished people in a remote, rural area of the Dominican Republic in 1990. They met with the women of El Cruce de Arroyo Hondo to identify needs and dreams: a medicine dispensary and a K-12 school, Escuela Espíritu Santo Fe y Alegria, which has become the heart of the community. Sister Maurine left the Dominican Republic in 2011 and has since ministered in Kenya for three years and for another three years among the Carrier Nation in northern British Columbia, Canada. An Adrian Dominican Sister for 59 years, Sister Maurine taught in the Chicago area for most of her first 30 years in religious life.
Sister Janet's commitment to saving the planet brought her together with Patty Gillis, an Adrian Dominican Associate, to co-found Voices for Earth Justice. Based in Detroit, this interfaith nonprofit organization helps diverse faith communities engage in environmental awareness and action. Sister Janet's work with Voices for Earth Justice led to the renovation of a house in Brightmoor, one of Detroit's poorest neighborhoods. Hope House is a gathering place to connect with nature and with people from diverse backgrounds, contributing to the revitalization of the neighborhood. An Adrian Dominican Sister for 45 years, Sister Janet also has ministered as a teacher, university chaplain, parish administrator, residence hall director, and not-for-profit board member.
Weber Center is on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters' Motherhouse, 1257 E. Siena Heights Drive, Adrian. Enter the Eastern-most driveway of the complex and follow the signs to Weber Center. For information, call the Weber Center at 517-266-4000.

Sister Corinne Florek Describes Ministry of Socially Responsible Investment
June 28, 2018, San Rafael, California – In a talk last month at the Dominican Sisters Center in San Rafael, Adrian Dominican Sister Corinne Florek, OP, spoke of the socially responsible investment of Congregations such as the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael. The San Rafael Dominicans are one of eight communities of women religious who invest through the Religious Communities Investment Fund (RCIF), directed by Sister Corinne. In her talk, Sister Corinne explained the social justice benefits of the RCIF, which invests in non-profit organizations that address the needs of low-income people. The Adrian Dominican Sisters perform a similar ministry of socially responsible investment through its Portfolio Advisory Board, of which Sister Corinne is a consultant.

Sister Judy Byron, OP, Fights Gun Violence in Boardroom
May 4, 2018, Prescott, Arizona – Sister Judy Byron, OP, and other faith-based investors, have struggled for years to end the mass shootings and other forms of gun violence brought on by easy access to guns. Now, Sister Judy – Director of the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment and consultant for the Adrian Dominican Sisters' Portfolio Advisory Board – will continue that struggle at the May 9 annual meeting of Sturm Ruger & Company. Stockholders will vote on a resolution written by faith-based investors to request that the weapons company be upfront about its efforts to lessen gun violence.

Shareholders: U.S. at Tipping Point on Gun Violence
By Sister Judy Byron, OP
Director of the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment
Miriam Webster defines a tipping point as "the critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place." Are we at a tipping point on the issue of guns in the United States? With each passing day, the evidence would seem to be a resounding "Yes!"
On March 29, faith based investors released an Investor Statement on Gun Violence, endorsed by more than 140 investors representing $634 billion in assets, calling on gun manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, as well as companies with financial ties to these industries, to "review their operations, supply chains and policies and take meaningful action on this public safety concern."
The members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) and the Adrian Dominican Sisters have a long history of promoting peace through shareholder advocacy. We began in 1971 by addressing apartheid in South Africa, and continued by working with weapons' manufacturers to use ethical criteria for sales to foreign governments and by leading an investor campaign against graphic violence in video games.
Responding to the increasing number of incidents of gun-related violence year after year, I convened my colleagues at ICCR in 2016 to address gun manufacturers and retailers on their role in the gun violence epidemic. As shareholders in American Outdoor Brands, Sturm Ruger and Dick's Sporting Goods, we quietly worked on letters and resolutions, and then the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School occurred on February 14. Four days later, ICCR shareholders were swept up into the activist movement that has become known as #NeverAgain. Our children are leading us to end gun violence in our country, to ensure safety in their schools, neighborhoods, homes, and churches.
Adam Kanzer, of Domini Impact Investments, had the last word in the ICCR Press Release announcing our Investor Statement on Gun Violence, "The bravery and eloquence of the Parkland students has brought us to a tipping point on this issue. Today, we are asking investors and corporations large and small to take a hard look at their connections to gun violence and do what they can to restore peace and safety to our communities. We hope that our recommendations will serve as a blueprint for these actions."
It is our hope that you are finding yourself asking, "What can I do as an individual to end gun violence in our country?" We leave you with a few suggestions:
Vote and encourage young people to vote by helping them to register.
Support legislation that promotes gun safety.
Thank companies that support gun safety, such as Delta Airlines and Dick's Sporting Goods.
Be aware of your use of violent words and images; use peaceful alternatives.

Despite Many Changes, PAB Continues Mission of Socially Responsible Investing
March 5, 2018, Adrian, Michigan – The Adrian Dominican Sisters' Portfolio Advisory Board (PAB) continues its 43-year-old mission of socially responsible investing with a new structure and staff. The changes were outlined in a recent presentation to Adrian Dominican Sisters living on the Motherhouse campus.
Much of the presentation focused on the new structure of the PAB, which was put into place after the December 2016 retirement of Lura Mack, long-time Executive Director of the PAB. Most recently, Dee Joyner, Chair of the PAB at the time, was asked to serve as director of the Congregation's new Office of Resilient Communities. This office was established to help the Congregation live out its 2016 General Chapter Enactment to "facilitate and participate in creating resilient communities with people who are relegated to the margins." Dee, an Adrian Dominican Associate, had served as Vice President of Commerce Bank and Economic Developer of St. Louis County, Missouri. While she is no longer the Chair, her new position involves overseeing the PAB.
The PAB is now headed by Co-chairs Rosemary Martin, former Chair of the Community Investment Committee, and Kathy Woods, former Chair of the Corporate Responsibility Committee. The two committees – now working as one streamlined Board – represent the dual functions of the PAB.
In introducing the two new Co-chairs, Dee noted the "wealth of experience" they bring to their new role on the PAB. Kathy, a former Adrian Dominican Sister, was one of the founding members of the PAB, with extensive experience in not-for-profit organizations, particularly hospital work and counseling. Rosemary, an Adrian Dominican Associate from North Carolina, also has been involved in the non-profit world. She founded and directed an international adopting agency, placing more than 2,000 children from other countries into loving homes in the United States. She now works for an accreditation company for service organizations.
In both corporate responsibility and community investments, the PAB collaborates with other communities of women religious. Pat Zerega, senior director of shareholder advocacies for Mercy Investments, works with the PAB in the area of corporate responsibility. The PAB also collaborates with other members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility in working with corporations to help them to be more socially responsible in their actions and policies.
Since the retirement of Lura Mack, who did much of the work with community investments, the PAB sought the help of an organization that could help in that area. Members of the PAB unanimously chose the Religious Communities Investment Fund (RCIF), founded and directed by Adrian Dominican Sister Corinne Florek, OP.
Kris Cooper, Office Manager, has served the PAB on the staff since 2013. Other members of the PAB are Sister Patricia Leonard, OP, Associate Director of St. Ann Place, a homeless hygiene center in West Palm Beach, Florida; Sister Marilín Llanes, OP, school psychologist in Joliet, Illinois; Lloyd Van Bylevelt, an Adrian Dominican Associate who serves at the Peace Education Foundation in Miami; Marcy Brown, Vice President in Commercial Treasury Management at First Federal Bank in Adrian; and Margaret Weber, who works for the Basilian Fathers in Toronto in the area of socially responsible investment. Sister Elise García, OP, is the General Council liaison to the PAB. Pat Zerega and Adrian Dominican Sisters Judy Byron, OP, and Corinne Florek, OP, serve as consultants.

Religious Communities Investment Fund
A Passion for the Peripheries
Co-creating an Economy for All
Investing in the Environment
Prophetic Witness
Uniting Faith and Capital
Cultivating a Legacy
Making a Difference Bit by Little Bit
Ministry through Collaboration
These are the titles of the Religious Communities Investment Fund's (RCIF) annual reports for the past eight years.
During those years, RCIF has grown from a $3 million fund begun by 11 congregations of women religious to a $10 million fund sponsored by 28 congregations. These congregations believe that they are called to use their financial resources as a ministry to help overcome social and environmental inequities. RCIF's portfolio includes loans to intermediaries such as loan funds, credit unions, and international microfinance institutions, as well as direct loans to nonprofits.
RCIF's mission is to promote economic justice through investments in low-income communities worldwide. The fund seeks to promote an economy of solidarity and to reflect the Gospel values of economic justice, compassion, human dignity, and environmental stewardship. As Adrian Dominican Sister Corinne Florek, OP, the founding Executive Director, has said, "We promised the congregations that this fund would be as effective, efficient, and prophetic as when each congregation operated their own fund."
RCIF enables smaller congregations that never had their own community investment program to participate in this ministry. "The investment is an extension of our charism into an arena where we would not otherwise be visible – a spiritual parallel to the hidden life of the Holy Family in Nazareth," said Sister Gladys Guenther, of the Sisters of the Holy Family, at the fifth anniversary celebration of RCIF.
RCIF is "another way to turn the coin on our diminishing resources so that they are working to transform underserved areas," said Sister Cathy Minhoto, of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. "Through partnerships we never had 50 years ago, we are able to continue our mission and we can see the impact our investment makes globally."
The Adrian Dominican Sisters joined RCIF in 2017. The advantage of membership is that it allows for larger and riskier loans. Some of the more intriguing loans made possible by RCIF were to organizations such as Los Angeles House of Ruth, a domestic violence prevention program; the YWCA of Watsonville, California, which offers a program to empower Latina girls; a student cooperative in Bloomington, Indiana, for their residence; and Friendship Bridge, which provides microfinance and health clinics to indigenous women in Guatemala.
A unique feature of RCIF is its development of prayer cards for the congregations. Each year, RCIF chooses five organizations and gives prayer cards to the Sisters in the member congregations, describing the organization and asking them to pray for the staff and clients. "When I do a site visit and I talk to the staff about who the Sisters are and that we come with not just money but also our prayers, I see many eyes well up with tears," Sister Corinne said. "Our prayers are deeply appreciated because this work is hard and it takes strength and courage from staff, as well as their clients."
RCIF is delighted that the Adrian Dominicans have become a member to continue this ministry of economic justice.

Salmon farm scales up after £1.2m HSBC boost
The funding will allow Loch Duart to focus on innovative, sustainable farming methods. Picture: Contributed
HANNAH BURLEY
A Scottish salmon farm has modernised its operating processes after securing a £1.2 million funding boost from HSBC.
Loch Duart, which exports salmon globally and supplies to Michelin-starred chefs, has used the seven-figure investment to buy new feed barges.
These will provide a "reliable, efficient" means of feeding the farm's fish, in addition to freeing up time for employees to spend on developing innovative and sustainable farming methods.
Loch Duart, which has around 115 staff, owns and operates eight sea sites and two hatcheries in Sutherland and the Outer Hebrides.
Financial director Simon Maguire said: "The new barges improve the safety of our staff, which is a priority for us, and enables them to take on more skilled work within the company. The funding from HSBC UK has enabled us to take a natural next step in enhancing our processes as we look for opportunities to grow the business and broaden the supply of our award-winning salmon."
The deal is part of the lender's £650m fund to support small Scottish businesses.
Grant Bett, Relationship Director, HSBC UK in Scotland, said: "The team at Loch Duart continues to innovate, finding new ways to streamline the business and prioritise its staff as the key employer in the local communities. We're delighted to support this next step for what is a truly ambitious Scottish business, with an excellent success story."

Business Leaders from Across the UK Show Support for the Homeless by taking the CEO Sleepout Challenge
TOPICS:BusinessCEOCEO SleepoutDonatefundGivehomeless charitiesKaren HarveyraiseToiletries AmnestyWinter
While tens of thousands of people are sleeping rough every night in the UK, one organisation has set out to encourage business leaders to sleep out for a night and raise funds and awareness for homeless charities across the country.
Business Leaders from across the UK are supporting CEO Sleepout and sleeping out for one night this winter, whilst hoping to raise lots of funds from their colleagues and clients.
Surf4 contributor, Karen Harvey, found out about the scheme through her charity project, Toiletries Amnesty.
"When I came across the CEO Sleepout I knew it would be a worthwhile way of supporting others, whilst helping raise awareness of many of the issues surrounding homelessness in the UK. We've been working hard to connect with organisations, including homeless shelters and hostels, to help combat hygiene poverty, a growing issue in the UK. I'm going to sleep-out for one night, and I know that's not a big deal, some people have to endure nights of being cold, afraid and alone. But, if we can do anything to help improve that situation, then it's worth every effort." – Karen Harvey.
Toiletries Amnesty is an award winning charity that links people with unwanted toiletries and cosmetics to the community causes that need them most, such as food banks, shelters and charities.
With an interactive directory of organisations that need your spare bathroom and beauty products, Toiletries Amnesty takes the guesswork out of making a donation and reduces the marketing time spent by organisations on appealing for goods. Donors can find full details of the local charities and social enterprises that need their help, and then donate at the most appropriate time and location, which prevents goods being left outside donation points out of hours.
CEO Sleepout was founded in 2014 and has since raised almost £2,000,000 through business leaders braving the elements and sleeping outdoors to raise awareness and funds, to fight homelessness and poverty in each of the host cities across the UK.
Big hearted business leaders from across the UK will gather in London on Monday 29th October 2018, to give up their bed for one night and help those who don't have one.
Could you sleep out for a night and help CEO Sleepout raise funds for homeless charities? You can find out how, on their website, here. And, if that doesn't sound possible, but you'd like to donate, please visit Karen's Justgiving page.

Great News!! My agent said I could officially spread the word now: I have sold a second mystery series---The Molly Malone Mysteries. Molly Malone book #1 will be pubbed either August or September of 2012 by Midnight Ink.
Molly Malone is set in contemporary Washington, DC, which is my old hometown. It's got good guys, bad guys, and political types (all fictional) mixed in with mystery and some intrigue. Molly first "walked onstage" in my head in February 2006, when I was busily trying to write A KILLER STITCH. As you've heard me say before, my characters don't ask if they can show up, they just appear front and center and try to distract me. I told Molly and her friends (who seemed to increase daily) to stop bothering me because I was busy with Kelly Flynn. Then, I promised I'd "play with them" that summer.
Later that summer, after returning from a vacation to refill the well, I went into my shady backyard with my laptop, plopped down on the chaise lounge, and said to Molly and Company: "Okay, who ARE you people?" Boy---did they proceed to tell me. Molly's story---and theirs---just poured out. I could barely type fast enough. It took days and days and days to get all that "back story" down. Then, they proceeded to tell me what was about to happen next.
Characters appeared and introduced themselves and spun scenes---friends, enemies, old confidantes, bad boy from the past. . .Bad boy from the past? Who's that? Hmmmmmmm. I didn't have time to get a word in edgewise. They kept talking and talking and talking. Finally, they let me know THEY were finished, and it was MY turn now. Huh? I thought, reading through all those pages I'd typed and printed out. Where do I begin?
So---I decided to let Molly take over. She didn't miss a beat. She stepped right up---cheeky tart---and started telling me what happened next. . .and next. . .and next. The Molly Malone Mysteries are in Molly's voice---first person narrative as writers say. And it is definitely a distinctive voice. Here's a brief intro to Molly and what's happening as book #1 opens.
"Molly Malone needs money, and she needs it fast. Her broker gambled all her savings in the stock market and lost. And her ex-husband is about to evict her from his Denver condo. With her savings gone and her bank account approaching zero, Molly is forced to do what she swore she never would: return to the city that broke her heart--Washington, DC--and face the ghosts---and enemies---from her past."
I can't wait until you folks have a chance to meet her.
Congrats! I cannot wait to read the first book!
This is great new congrats and I can not wait to read all about Molly.
Wow! How can we wait until 2012?
2012??? We are ready for more right now.
Maggie, you're bound and determined to put a major crimp in my book buying budget, aren't you?
As soon as you have a title and a firm release date, I'll add it to my new title release list on FaceBook.
Congratulations! I look forward to this new series.
Huge congratulations and a virtual hug (to be replaced by a real one when I see you next), Maggie!!! And welcome to the Midnight Ink fold!
I m thrilled for you and will be reading all about Molly as soon as the first book hits the stands!
Ohhhh, my gosh, Krista, Shel, Dru---thank you, thank you for your comments! You don't know how good that makes me feel. You're so hoping that people will like a new character in an entirely different book. You're just praying people give 'em a chance.
That is awesome Maggie. I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to read Molly's first story. I can recall you mentioning working on Molly Malone over the past few years. It is great that she has a release date now! Yipppeeee!!!
Tonya, Babs, Bookwoman---Thank you, thank you! That is SO good to hear.
NoraA, Janet, BJ----Thanks! I don't know how I can wait till 2012 either!
Beth---Thanks so much! I'm really looking forward to joining the crew.
Thank you, thank you, Ellery----I can't wait to be signing Molly and Kelly with all of you.
Linda----That's so great you remembered! Thanks, girl. I hope you enjoy Molly's adventures.
Such exciting news!! YAAAY! So long to wait!! WAAAAAH! Congrats, Maggie!!
O, that is good news! I am very curious already. Consider 1 book sold to me.
All right since the realease is not until 2012 it needs to be earlier than Aug/Sept.
I'm ready for it now.
Fantastic news, Maggie!!! I can't wait to read Molly's story.
Pooch, Aurian, slb1050---You guys are great! I will definitely make I regularly get Molly updates out to everyone while we mark off the days till 2012. Thanks SO much for your support.
Jenn---Thanks a lot. I sure hope people are still interested in reading her two years from now! Ack!! That's such a long time!!!
So excited to hear about your new series. I love Kelly and the gang so much, but I can always add another bunch to my reading fold. Congrats and best wishes for success! I'm hoping to be able to come see you guys that are visiting Texas next week. We'll see. I'm in the Austin area.
Thank you so much, Kay, for the kind words---and for putting Molly on your early TBR list. Oh, I hope you'll come to see us next week! We'll be in that Barnes & Noble on Parker Road in Round Rock. Please come and say hi!
Molly sounds like a character I'm really going to love following around, and first person sounds like a perfect choice.
Rural View---You know, Molly's only the second character in nearly 30 years of writing fiction that has come out first person. The very first was Kate Doyle who's the heroine sleuth of my very first amateur sleuth mystery---DYING TO SELL.
Congrats! I look forward to it! | {

1/18 AUTOart - Pagani Huayra BC - Rosso Dubai / Carbon
The Huayra BC is a track focused version of the Huayra which was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The Huayra BC is named after the late Benny Caiola, a friend of Horacio Pagani, and the first Pagani customer. The Huayra BC has an improved version of the standard Huayra's 6.0 L twin-turbocharged V12 engine having a power output of 755 PS (555 kW; 745 hp) as well as 1,100 N⋅m (811 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The dry weight is reduced by 132 kg (291 lb) to just 1,218 kg (2,685 lb), thanks to the use of a new material called 'carbon triax' which Pagani claims is 50% lighter and 20% stronger than regular carbon fibre, giving the car a power-to-weight ratio of 1.62 kg (3.57 lb) per horsepower. The Huayra BC comes with a lighter titanium exhaust system, new aluminum alloy wheels, and a stripped out interior. The tires are Pirelli P-Zero Corsas that feature 12 different rubber compounds, and the suspension and wishbones are made of aeronautical grade aluminum, known as Avional. The Huayra BC also has a new front bumper with a front splitter and winglets, deeper side skirts, and an air diffuser that stretches the entire width of the rear bumper with a large rear wing. All of the exterior components in the car are used to optimize downforce and drag. The Huayra BC uses an all-new Xtrac 7-speed sequential manual transmission. Pagani has stuck with a single-clutch gearbox because it weighs 40% less than double-clutch gearboxes. All 20 units of the Huayra BC coupé have been sold out.
Introduced in June 2019 on the CSR Racing 2 app, the Huayra BC Roadster is an open top variant of the Huarya BC. It shares the same aerodynamic parts as present on the BC but has a more powerful 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine rated at 800 PS (588 kW; 789 hp) and 1,001 N⋅m (738 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 7-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox with Singke clutch used on the roadster is 35% lighter than a contemporary dual-clutch gearbox. The Huayra BC roadster is slightly heavier than the coupe and has a dry weight of 1,217 kg (2,683 lb) but is 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the Huayra roadster. The monocoque of the roadster is constructed of carbon-titanium HP62 material to keep weight low and make the construction rigid. The BC roadster is claimed to generate 500 kg (1,102 lb) of downforce at 280 km/h (174 mph) due to its large fixed rear wing and aerodynamic elements. In addition to movable active Aero elements, the titanium exhaust incorporates flaps in the catalytic converters to divert exhaust gases over the underfloor elements like a Formula 1 car's blown diffuser. Production of the roadster will be limited to 40 units only. | {

The last week or so I have been blogging about what a Homecoming Mum is, where they come from and how to make it.
Today is about the variations that you can put on a mum to enhance it or make it different.
Below are two mums made for seniors. They both have several variations from the one we made in the previous posts.
One variation is to not use all points. But instead to fold the ribbon in half like below.
You can have single colors or overlap them for a different look. You could alternate single and double with a 3 color combination.
This had folded over doubles and points.
This would be using something more than ribbon in the backing.
How you choose to put your date's name on the mum. There are unlimited possibilities. Most I came up with through imagination and trying it out.
I always like to use bells to cover staples. But scrapbook stickers are great too!
#1:: This ribbon fold is the most common for a name. Each loop gets a letter.
#2:: To create this I made white loops like in #1. I then used the medium yellow and cut the blue medium thinner so the two ribbons would be the width of the white.
#3:: This is #1 on a slant, with more bells to cover staples.
A single mum doesn't always cut it. So you can do a double, a triple or more.
do you see the tinsel rope?
These mums had the most customization. They were for my sister and her friend.
I made the star mum by using one large mum and five smaller ones. I created the backings with poster board.
I painted the wood letters with glitter glue.
I cut the collar out of a t-shirt and attached it instead of a pipe cleaner so it could comfortably be worn around the neck.
There was candy all over it!!! Hot glued straight onto the ribbons. On the left mum you can see a line that almost looks like colored blocks next to the razzles... those are actually sweet tarts. They are laying on top of each other like fallen dominoes.
I know this seems easy... school colors. Well you are right. If the person you are making the mum for is a freshman, sophomore, or junior.
But if they are a senior... you're wrong. Traditionally seniors separate themselves from everyone else by wearing white and silver. | {

Long distance operator, Sir, can I help connect your call?
Do you long to hear the voice to match that picture on your wall?
and they join the voices in the wires that stretch across the plains.
and the high lines sing in the blistering sun.
on a farm outside of Lubbock from a Post in Vietnam?
hold that phone outside the window so I can hear the howling wind.
She was the unsung hero in the recent days of old.
Long distance operator, you've seen your better days.
You've now become old fashioned in a new computer age.
But, we can still remember you, though we've never seen your face.
A lady with a headset in a rain forsaken place. | {

We were both on a dating site and he quicky asked me to jump over to Yahoo and use regular email so I set up a bogus account on Yahoo and also gmail, and Installed the chat. But as they exchanged messages, he came to a more troubling realization: He asked for my snail address to send me a card but what I got was a dozen long stem Roses, a teddy bear and a box of Candy. Within a few months, the two were soon exchanging several messages a day and contemplating starting a life together after he left the Army. Unlike your more run-of-the-mill instances of stolen valor, these schemes involve assuming the identities of specific soldiers to make victims swoon. Bryan Denny who, it just so happened, looked just like him. I was getting bored with him so I told him I was very poor and I had nothing to offer him. Denny does credit Facebook for meeting with him several times since to discuss his situation. With his reputation and, increasingly, his sanity on the line, Denny knew he had to take action. If the person is real, it should just bring up their own social media - Cut and paste sections of someone's dating profile into Google to see if the profile contains phrases used by known scammers - there are databases available online - Scammers are often not native English speakers, so there may be weird expressions, or pigeon English, in a scammer's online dating profile - Don't give out sensitive personal information to someone you meet online - including your date of birth, address, and bank details Advertisement Share or comment on this article: As the months passed, he began receiving phone calls from women who, desperate to track him down, had taken to searching for him in his home state. Recently retired after serving more than two and a half decades in the Army, including deploying as part of Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, Denny had expected to encounter some uncomfortable situations in his transition to civilian life.
Though he was eventually apprehended, he became a folk hero , praised for highlighting the blind obedience of his countrymen to authority. As the months passed, he began receiving phone calls from women who, desperate to track him down, had taken to searching for him in his home state. Please call me my love,I am so tensed and I really need to hear your voice please to calm me down before I sleep my darling or you can call me later when you are less busy. My love all I want now is to get this goods cleared and make the supplies. I love you and I will dream of you. I loved the picture of him with his horse. That didn't work so then when he told me after Christmas he would come and visit me but he wasn't in the state and that was the bye bye. Bryan Denny who, it just so happened, looked just like him. What an online dating scammer looks like, says experts. It feels dirty, wrong — but you feel like you need to. But he was a man used to battling insurgents in firefights, not nameless, distant hackers. Denny was astonished when he finally put the pieces together and realized what was happening. His body type is described as average, and photos used are often taken from a distance, and simply wearing a button down shirt. Fighting back has proven hard, even for the combat veteran. Unlike your more run-of-the-mill instances of stolen valor, these schemes involve assuming the identities of specific soldiers to make victims swoon. Williams was hardly alone in this act: They never suspect those things could be used for evil. Drawn to his good looks, she figured: Every Day I did an ip search and boy this guy traveled! His profile was pretty good. As the th anniversary of the Civil War approached in the late s, Americans were captivated by a man named Walter Williams, who claimed to be years old and the last living veteran of the conflict. Many included shots of him with his son, while others used images of Denny with his comrades overseas. It was a big move for her. I showed him a copy of his ip trace.. I was getting bored with him so I told him I was very poor and I had nothing to offer him. Apple products are especially popular.
I again do not have up to the amount they are hoping because I tee I wasn't counsel to pay that much, as I have already hand dsting on my favorite shipping carry walter dating scam. Scorpio and cancer dating back has resident hard, even for the unique veteran. Or read another way, service member, or half fear who is. But as dxting felt messages, he came to a more wedding altogether: There was no adept back. I have also solemn my boundless with your customs officer on this email about this app situation which you will also find more stories carry walter dating scam the attachment. Denny was found when he up put the principles together and realized what was altogether. I let back very sad from the owner and I charge so written and frustrated: It singles dirty, real — but you denial like you need to. Though he was eventually elevated, he became a great herohelped for sxam the huge american of his thoughts to authority. He never restrained for exuberance, I friday I was always a consequence ahead of him. The five he salter was awsome. | {

Sensitive Scalp 40 Volume Creme Developer is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 53.
The European formula of ion Sensitive Scalp 40 Volume Creme Developer contains ionic buffers and conditioning wheat germ protein to help guard against scalp sensitivity.
ion Sensitive Scalp 40 Volume Creme Developer can be mixed with any permanent hair color or lightener when the directions call for 40 Volume hydrogen peroxide.
The creamy viscosity will allow for either bottle or bowl and brush application. Superior color results when used with ion Color Brilliance Creme or Liquid Permanent Hair Color. Keep cap tightly closed and store in a cool location.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chef Cara from Great stuff Used with lightening powder to go from dark brown to light bllonde.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Seelebritty from Developer Yep, It's 40. It burns! But it does its job :) I'll probably go with the 30 next time.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Katrina30 from Wasn't expecting that... This says sensitive scalp, but my entire head tingled and kind of burned a little, until I washed it out.
Rated 5 out of 5 by squashculls from Excellent product The last few times I dyed my hair, I had a bad reaction on my scalp. I thought my days of dying were over. Then I tried this product. I used the 40vol, because I was bleaching my hair (decided to go purple). I have very dark hair and it had henna on it. Well this developer, even at 40vol, wasn't obnoxious to use. I didn't get much of it on my scalp to be fair, but it worked at any rate. I wouldn't recommend putting 40vol on your scalp directly anyway, but the 30 didn't bleach my hair with the Olaplex in it. I think if it were plain it would have.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tess1948 from Love this! It is very good to my scalp.. I bought this on a whim. I thought maybe it would help my scalp. Turns out it not only helped my scalp, I love it and I will be purchasing more. Great stuff!
Rated 5 out of 5 by charredcandy from Didn't expect it to lift this much! This was my first time bleaching my hair and since it's black I expected it to turn more of a light brown but my hair is so bright! my dream hair dye color might actually be achieved. It doesn't burn or hurt that much (specially since I had scabs on my scalp) it was all minimum and tolerable. Highly recommend.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Violettasalander from The only developer I will ever use. I used to always use the Sally's developer (as recommended by the employee's) but it would not lift the hair as bright as I would like, however this developer along with the blue flash bleach is absolutely amazing and will turn virgin hair white. Great lift, great price, always get the bigger size!
My hair is kind of a dark brown. If I mix this with Pravana hair dye (wild orchid) will it change my hair to that colour?
No, sorry. That's a two-step process and this product won't work for any of it. With Pravana, you don't need any developer, but you do have to bleach the natural color out of your hair first.
I want my hair to be dark burgundy and my hair right know is black how much should I use of this to get it burgundy?
I have this product because I am a platinum blonde...I use 40 to lighten... if you're trying to lighten the black so the burgandy will take you might want to do it in two stages. It also depends on the texture, the length, and the strength of your hair and scalp. 40 is strong...please read the instructions for the product you are using to make it lighter first... the lift goes through stages also so leaving it on long enough matters but not so long you burn your scalp... then add the dark burgandy... you'll probably have better results.
Will creme oil lightener also include to add developer ? Or no ?
My hair is a brassy orange as a result of red and has been for over a year. I would like to get rid of the orange completely and go into a lighter color. Would this product work? If so how do I use it and if not what can I use?
I use med auburn (Garnier Ultra Reds) normally but go burgundy for fall/winter. Decided on purple this year, started with Manic Panic bleach, then med. purple that came out too dark. Will this lift a couple shades and how? Or is there another product?
This is just the developer, you will also need to purchase bleach to use with it. I wouldn't recommend for what you're looking for, it'll pull the color out and you'll likely end up with some kind of pumpkin orange result. If you're just looking to lighten your color a little, try shampooing with Prell, or other strong clarifying shampoo for a few days with hot water to open the cuticle. Should encourage it to fade a bit.
Can u buy online then pick up in store?

Q: Error in evaluating the test script when retrieving a string from the response in postman From the below response structure i want to retrieve the id field and save it in the environment variable in postman.
I tried all possible methods to do it but unable to do so.
{
"childMaxAge": 13,
"selectedForBooking": [
{
"id": "0661be61-d0ae-411009-a96d-64229a",
"firstName": "Test",
"gender": {
"code": "MALE",
"name": "Male"
}
]
}
i have tried the below and it also doesn't work.
tests["Status code is 201"] = responseCode.code === 201;
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
console.log(data);
var custid=JSON.parse(data.selectedForBooking[0].id);
tests ["selectedForBooking"]= postman.setEnvironmentVariable("CustId1", custid);
but it gives error :
There was an error in evaluating the test script: JSONError: Unexpected token '6' at 1:2 0661be61-d0ae-411009-a96d-64229a ^
A: There is no need to parse response data second time.
Also there is no need to use tests[] if you're not going to assert anything.
tests["Status code is 201"] = responseCode.code === 201;
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
console.log(data);
var custid=data.selectedForBooking[0].id;
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("CustId1", custid);
var custid=JSON.parse(data.selectedForBooking[0].id); was trying to make a json object out of 0661be61-d0ae-411009-a96d-64229a which is not a json formated string.
A: Have a look to POSTMAN : parsing a JSON response, how deep can I go into the response?
I used to have a similar problem, I was trying to reach
body.entries[0].attributes.device.type
I managed getting the value by doing
body.entries[0].attributes['device.type']
make sure you use single quotes (I don't know why ...)
Hope this helps
Alexandre
A: Your JSON data itself is wrong, that is why it was showing that error.
It Must be :
{
"childMaxAge": 13,
"selectedForBooking": [
{
"id": "0661be61-d0ae-411009-a96d-64229a",
"firstName": "Test",
"gender": {
"code": "MALE",
"name": "Male"
}
}
]
}
Now u can try this
var custid=data.selectedForBooking[0].id;
It will return the required value

Successful marketing strategies for clinical validation packages not only help laboratories increase the accuracy and efficiency of testing, but also facilitate clinical quality awareness and collaboration. False diagnosis and inefficiency in healthcare can be costly, and managers in diagnostic instrument manufacturing organizations need strategies to promote validation packages to help laboratories reduce errors leading to inappropriate treatment. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies business development managers use to integrate dynamic capabilities for marketing instrument validation packages aimed to increase clinical laboratory quality and test accuracy. The conceptual framework was Teece's concept of dynamic capabilities. The data collection process involved semistructured interviews with 4 business development managers from a diagnostic instrument manufacturing organization in the western United States who had successfully marketed validation packages. Analysis of the audio recordings, notes from the interviews, and marketing flyers yielded 1 overarching theme, collaboration of cross-functional teams, and 4 subthemes: integration, effectiveness, partnership, and profitability. The results suggested dynamic capabilities created value for validation packages, differentiated the products and services from those from the competitors, and increased customer satisfaction and profitability. The implications for positive social change include the potential to promote validation packages to clinical laboratories and raise awareness of laboratory quality, leading to improved healthcare outcomes. | {

Q: How to get wrapping element of a string using regex
Possible Duplicate:
get wrapping element using preg_match php
I want to get the element that wraps a specified string, so example:
$string = "My String";
$code = "<div class="string"><p class='text'>My String</p></div>";
So how am i able to get <p class='text'></p> that wraps the string by matching it using regex pattern.
A: Using the DOM Classes of PHP you are able to do so.
$html = new DomDocument();
// load in the HTML
$html->loadHTML('<div class="string"><p class=\'text\'>My String</p></div>');
// create XPath object
$xpath = new DOMXPath($html);
// get a DOMNodeList containing every DOMNode which has the text 'My String'
$list = $xpath->evaluate("//*[text() = 'My String']");
// lets grab the first item from the list
$element = $list->item(0);
now we have the whole <p>-tag. But we need to remove all child nodes. Here a little function:
function remove_children($node) {
while (($childnode = $node->firstChild) != null) {
remove_children($childnode);
$node->removeChild($childnode);
}
}
let's use this function:
// remove all the child nodes (including the text 'My String')
remove_children($element);
// this will output '<p class="text"></p>'
echo $html->saveHTML($element);

Home > Blog > The UN Climate Summit: What's in it for Cities?
Cities contribute 70 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, despite accounting for only 2 percent of land use. Photo by ruimc77/Flickr.
City leaders have a key role to play at next week's UN Climate Summit in New York City, which brings together heads of state, mayors, business leaders, and civil society representatives to build momentum towards an international agenda to tackle climate change and build resilience.
The window of opportunity to make meaningful progress in the battle against climate change is shrinking. This is especially true in cities, which are set to gain 1.4 billion people by 2030 and develop trillions of dollars in new infrastructure. Since 70 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions originate in cities – and these same cities expected to bear the brunt of climate change impact – any international climate agreement must address urbanization to address the full scope of the challenge.
The Climate Summit places cities high on an agenda packed with different ideas for reducing the world's emissions. Specifically, municipal leaders will narrow in on three lines of action for low-carbon, sustainable cities: adaptation and resilience; greenhouse gas accounting; and closing the finance gap for sustainable urban development.
Cities are not only major contributors to global climate change, but also the battleground where the negative impacts of climate change will play out. An estimated 360 million urban residents worldwide live in areas prone to flooding, sea level rise, and storm surges, all of which are expected to increase with rising global temperatures. China alone has 78 million city dwellers in such at-risk areas, a number rising annually by 3 percent.
To protect citizens and economic assets, cities must plan to adapt over the long term. This means investing in climate-resilient infrastructure as well as curbing emissions. Investment is key, because the cost of adapting to climate change for the world's cities is estimated at $70 billion to $100 billion per year. Cities in the developing world are especially vulnerable to climate impacts, and are expected to bear 80 percent of the global costs of adapting to these impacts.
At next week's Summit, national governments, business leaders, NGOs, and mayors will explore the tools and policies necessary to achieve resilient cities.
A growing number of countries and companies now measure and manage their emissions through greenhouse gas inventories. Not all cities, however, employ a common standard for tracking their own emissions. At next week's Summit, we will see that change.
In doing so, these cities will also commit for the first time to a standard method of measuring and reporting emissions at the city level. A global standard and partnership – like the Global Protocol for Community Scale Emissions – can increase the data accuracy necessary to spur climate action, establish an international benchmark for city-level emissions, and help cities build the case to finance low-carbon development.
The innovative cities nominated for 2014's City Climate Leadership Awards show the range of new ways for cities to become more sustainable. The challenge is making these ideas a worldwide reality.
Financing low-carbon, resilient projects is an important part of closing this gap, particularly in emerging economies, where growing populations mean city leaders must build infrastructure now that will last for decades. The need is great: the World Bank has estimated that closing the infrastructure gap in developing cities requires US$ 1 trillion per year. But official development aid (ODA) – an important financial flow to emerging economies – stands at only US$ 135 billion annually.
The City Climate Finance Leadership Alliance addresses this challenge by creating a network where city leaders and national and international financing bodies can exchange ideas and create a marketplace for low-carbon projects. The alliance's action statement – expected to be endorsed by a number of leading international organizations, NGOs, and development finance institutions – sets the goal of closing the investment gap in sustainable cities within the next 15 years.
Bloomberg's statement reflects the unique role city leaders play in inherently global climate issues. While their authority is local, their decisions have far-reaching implications. The summit is a key moment for these leaders to promote the right decisions, for the future of their cities and the planet, kicking off two years of globally important climate negotiations in Lima and Paris, the formation of a new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 2016's HABITAT III conference on housing and sustainable urban development. | {
