I spent some time this weekend with a friend. She is deep in mourning, and her home is filled with all the remnants of charity. Cookies, candies, and cards litter the rooms.The air is still heavy with sadness. She looks exhausted, although she has slept most of the day. She shuffles her feet through misty random thoughts that are attached to anger and disappointment. I have been in that place, so I can recognize her body language and understand why she thinks she is losing her mind. She is now among women who have had to bury one of their children. This we now share, and I wish we didn’t have this in common. I went to sit with her. I wanted her to see it was possible to walk with grief without it squeezing you from the inside out. I told her there will be a day when she will wake up, and it will not be the first thing she thinks about. She couldn’t believe that, and I understand why. How does a mother bury her child and keep going? How do you prove that time has stopped when you see the second hand defiantly moving and experience one day turn into the next? I don’t have the answers.
It has been a challenge for me to understand that illnesses can seemingly come out of nowhere and that healthy people that you love can die. It is hard for people to measure how long it will take to accept that life as they knew it has ended. I am still working to accept loss. Last month, when it was time to say goodbye to my father, I wasn’t ready. People asked how old he was and if he was sick. They wanted to help make sense of it. “Was it sudden?” They asked. “No,” I said, but it didn’t matter. You can never be ready to say goodbye, no matter how prepared you or others think you should be. In ten years, I have said goodbye to a four-year-old daughter, a student who sat in the front row of my sixth grade class, three uncles, two sets of granparents, a cousin, a friend, my father, and a cat I tried not to love. Now, I am fearful that I may have to say goodbye to one of my oldest and dearest friends. Yes, she is sick and her death from this illness seems eminent, but I can’t accept the idea of saying goodbye to this forty-one-year-old woman. I am numb from goodbyes, and I wish I could call a “time out”, but all of it is out of my control. So, it is a challenge to comfort this friend when I still feel raw with grief of my own. It is also a challenge not to tell her the truth: You will recover, but there will be other things you will have to get through, overcome, manage, and hold up under. Ready or not, those things will come.
Things happen that are outside our control and we are forced to deal with it. In her book, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, Rhonda Janzen writes about all the challenges she had to overcome after her husband decides he no longer loves her and leaves. She writes, “What I want to measure, what I can control, is my response to life’s challenges. ” These words suit my present position. I cannot control what happens to those I love or spare them pain or sorrow. I cannot measure how long it will take for someone to move past his or her grief. I can only measure myself against what I have overcome. I’m still standing, living, working, and laughing even without the understanding of how and why things happen the way they do. I hope this gives my dear friend some hope.
I love you and it does help to sit with someone who understands my pain and my fears. Thank you for being there always.
Your words are a comfort to so many, Yolande. Thank you.
Keep speaking it loudly and clearly. You make a difference.
It’s all a mystery, isn’t it? Who goes, and when and why? You are strong and inspiring, Yolande. And I love your words. | 2019-04-26T06:31:21 | https://litsense.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/what-what-i-want-to-measure-what-i-can-control-is-my-own-response-to-lifes-challenges/ |

There are countless things to see and do in London, with new events and activities popping up all the time, but if you’re a seasoned Londoner or frequent visitor, you might still be on the lookout for fresh experiences. In this guide, we’ve detailed four of London’s best kept secrets. Each one is an intriguing oddity and worth seeing for yourself.
The ancient cemetery outside London St. Pancras Old Church is a peculiar place, primarily due to its large ash tree that is surrounded by hundreds of overlapping gravestones. What makes the sight even more intriguing is that the gravestones were actually placed there by classic novelist Thomas Hardy.
How did this happen, you ask? In the mid-1860s, the rail system in Britain was experiencing rapid growth and London desperately required more space for new lines. The planned expansion directly affected the graveyard at St. Pancras, which meant existing graves needed to be moved in order to accommodate it. A firm of architects was contracted to manage the project of exhuming the remains and rebury them at a different site, and the unpleasant task happened to be assigned to young Thomas Hardy, who was a junior employee of the firm. When the task was completed, the firm were unsure what to do with the hundreds of remaining headstones, and Hardy had the idea of positioning them in a circular pattern around an ash tree where they wouldn’t be in the way. After making this bizarre decision and later returning to Dorset to pursue a career in writing, Hardy went on to publish many classic novels such as Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd.
Britain’s Magic Circle was established in 1905 and was set up with the aim of keeping magic tricks secret. Though the headquarters in Euston is open only to members and their guests for regular visits, the public can browse its museum when public events are held. Inside is a curious collection of illusory paraphernalia sure to pique your interest and make you want to become a member yourself, but joining is no easy feat. To apply, junior magicians must undergo two years as an apprentice and be sponsored by at least two pre-existing members.
God’s Own Junkyard is a kaleidoscopic maze of neon lights hidden in the unassuming area of Walthamstow. Neon light artist Marcus Bracey curated the art, which includes thousands of signs, props and figures, all displayed within a single warehouse space. The space is a chaotic combination of bright colours, lights and subject matter, with signage relating to casinos, cocktails and karaoke as well as religious imagery. This is a free art gallery, a dealer and recycler of signage for businesses and a prop shop for film and photo shoots rolled into one. It’s open to the public on weekends and there’s a café serving snacks, coffee and alcoholic drinks.
In Victorian England, ice was a rare commodity and to own it was a symbol of wealth and high status. Before artificial ice production became common, Italian-Swiss immigrant Carlo Gratti made his fortune by constructing ice wells behind King’s Cross station and supplying the commodity to rich clients across London. It seems crazy now, but Gatti was extremely successful. His two wells each had a depth of forty-two feet ad measured a diameter of thirty feet, which meant between them they could store many tonnes of natural ice. The wells were forgotten about for many years, but since the building has been developed into the London Canal Museum, they can be viewed from a special observation platform.
If you’re looking for a bite to eat after exploring London’s hidden treasures, why not visit M Restaurant Victoria Street. With an extensive menu of steaks, seafood, gluten free options and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this handily located restaurant near Victoria Station, London.

Sports News, Nation, (New Delhi), April 12:-‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni lost his temper and barged into the field during the nail-biting finish of his team’s encounter with Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.
“I know there’s pressure from owners and big money involved in the IPL but I’ve been very disappointed with the 2 incidents involving the skippers of there respective teams in Ashwin and MS. Not a good look at all,” Mark Waugh, the former Australian cricketer tweeted.
“This is not a good look for the game … No place at all for a Captain to storm onto the pitch from the Dugout … !! #IPL,” Michael Vaughan, former England captain tweeted.
Dhoni was fined 50 percent of his match fee after his on-field altercation with the umpires.

RIP, sorry to hear this.
I am more of a Commodore guy but I had picked up a TI-99/4A at a local convention, built up a bit of a cartridge library, and finally, about a year ago, bought a PEB at a great price from a guy on vcfed. I didnt use it much and I have a toddler at home so my time for the retro computing hobby is severely curtailed these days, and in the end I chose to sell my setup to fund another project (a retro car I acquired).
I am seriously considering hopping back in. I have to say, without a doubt, the TI-99/4A community is one of the very best and most geenrous, open, and friendly retro computing communities out there.
#3898350 Why is the importance of ColecoVision almost never brought up historically?
That's exactly how my uncle ended up with a CV system BITD. His daughter had to have the doll that Christmas and purchasing a CV was the only way he could get it at the time. They were literally bundled together - what a racket! So when we'd visit, played the system of course. Funny though... even he ended up purchasing Expansion #1 for it, so we could bring our VCS carts over. Remember playing 2600 Pole Position, Combat, Ms. Pac-Man, Venture, Mousetrap, SuperChallenge Football and Super ChallengeBaseball as much as or more than the CV stuff he had at the time.
This is how we got our CV too. Mom wanted to get my sister a cabbage patch doll and had to buy me a ColecoVision. Fortunately our birthdays are 8 days apart so we each got our gift, and I think my cousins already had a ColecoVision so I had some familiarity. My mom then went on to buy an ADAM so we doubled down on the Coleco thing, and indeed it is the ADAM that I use today.
Is it possible since you set it aside for a while, the syntax has been forgotten?
Note: filenames and device names that make up the file path are case sensitive.
EDIT: the subtle Next button on my phone escaped me, and I thought this thread ended a page back.
I completely forgot that the DISK commands only work if you type them in ALL CAPS - which of course is very subtle on the TI-99/4A, because even the "lower case" character set appears to be ALL CAPS.
So this was my problem! So stupid! My only question is - since it was the COMMAND that was wrong, rather than it being BASIC being unable to read the damn disk, why did get error codes of the style x0 on any command I tried, instead of a BAD COMMAND NAME type of error?
So a special thank you to arcadeshopper for agreeing to loan me an Extended Basic cartridge with which to test the system as I hAve it.
In the mean time, any other suggestions about the disk drive issue? Seems like a very strange problem to me.
One of my interests within the interest I have in old computers & gaming consoles is collecting ports of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior. Just something I really enjoy doing. I try to always pick up any released-at-the-time conversions of Donkey Kong available for any system I own. I've therefore played two versions for Commodore, the ColecoVision version, the Coleco ADAM tape version, the NES version, the 2600 version, the Ti-99/4A version, and the Atari 800 version.
Of all of these, I think the Atari 800 and TI-99/4A versions stand out as best, and of course were programmed by Atari. Personally, I think the TI-99/4A version looks the best, but the Atari 800XL version plays a little better.
All of this, however, leads me to my question. As I'm sure you all know, depending on the version, the opening screen can be oriented to the right or left. The arcade of course was to the left. If the conversion you are playing is oriented to the right, it usually has only four levels of girders on the first screen, instead of five.
What I can't understand is: why did Atari program the beautiful looking TI-99/4A version with the arcade "correct" number of 5 girders, oriented to the left, but on the version for their own machine, they used only four girders, oriented to the right? Mario himself also looks more arcade correct in the TI-99/4A version than in the Atari 800XL version. It seems odd to me that the one they made for a competitor's computer wound up looking better than the one they made for their own in-house computer.
I can't imagine anyone has the answer to this, except if it has something to do with screen resolution, but it bugs me.
Boy am I glad I found this thread. Ever since I read about the video controller, and the potential ability to read/write to VCR tapes, I have been intrigued, but everything I had ever read heretofore had suggested that the video controller was never actually produced.
And yet, lo and behold.
Mad Hatter, I see you are still occasionally active on the boards. Did you ever get your video controller up and running with a VCR? Why is it only compatible with certain VCRs? Any VCR I have ever seen has certain standard inputs and outputs and that's it, so I'm curious. Does your video controller have a serial number? I wonder how many were, in fact, produced.
I would LOVE to play with that thing (not asking, just a fond wish!).
Never mind... I alighted upon a solution that will work, hopefully.
Sort of off-topic for this thread, I guess, but I saw KAZ's post and was reminded about the forthcoming Donkey Kong Arcade cartridge and it got me to thinking a bit. Now, I do not have the ColecoVision Super Module... I kinda want one, but that is another topic for another day. I have never purchased any homebrew; and with respect to arcade versions, in this day and age, I am sort of nonplussed by the notion of "arcade perfect" homebrew ports. I mean, I remember, as many of you do I am sure, feeling that arcade perfection was the pinnacle of imagination/achievement with respect to home system ports. It was the unachievable dream.
But today, in an age of MAME, I can play the arcade games themselves, basically perfectly rendered, without worrying about a "port." Thus, I am less intrigued by the notion of getting "arcade perfect" versions of games for the ColecoVision. I actually remember feeling a certain amount of disappointment when I saw how close the Mario Bros. port to the ColecoVision wound up being to the arcade version... what I was hoping for was a "ColecoVision" version of Mario Bros., that would be in keeping with the style of the other Mario-based Nintendo CV releases, Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior.
Does this make sense to anyone else or am I just a lone voice in the wilderness here?
Wow, where'd you find it / how'd you get it?
Even if I had one there wouldn't be room in my house, but it is undeniably awesome. Congrats!
#3600321 Why isn't the 130XE the dominant Atari 8bit?
I am very new to the Atari 8-bit line, having "grown up" with Commodores. I am still trying to get my 1050 disk drive working.
I therefore don't have much of an opinion about the XE vs. the rest of the Atari 8 bit field, but I will say this: the 800XL (and the 1200XL) have the most attractive stylings of any 8-bit computers. I like the C64C/128 look, but that brown-on-beige is really sharp.
Had to post this somehwere: just played my best game of Q*Bert ever. Round 6, screen 2. 145,975 points. Would have been second place in the most recent high score competition for that game... but still.
The whole thing about doubles in speed at the beginning of the sixth round (I always default to starting on skill level 1, don't even think about it. Old habit from kidhood).
Any closeup of that EPROM ?
Is this the likely culprit? How would I go about getting a replacement for this chip... not necessarily another of these custom chips, but whatever chip was originally supposed to be there? | 2019-04-26T05:51:52 | http://atariage.com/forums/user/41576-mozartpc27/?tab=reputation |

Daniel Ashland wasn’t the first 19-year-old to find himself in a dead-end job at a pizza joint. He had his eyes open for opportunity, however, so when he met a Chem-Dry cleaning franchise owner, he decided to jump into a totally new line of work.
After a few years, the opportunity to buy the franchise came up and Daniel jumped at it. He’d been interested in operating his own business, he says, but didn’t want to go into an entirely new line of work when he already knew the value of a Chem-Dry cleaning franchise.
That was October 2015, and now Ashland owns and operates ACE Chem-Dry and Chem-Dry of Huntington Beach. He has taken each franchise from two or three jobs a day and expanded both in terms of daily work and overall offerings, and couldn’t be more pleased with how his business has developed.
He also has grown the franchise’s equipment base in order to add services. When he took over the business there was a single van with one portable cleaning unit, which he was able to rapidly expand within a year to also include a CTS 330 and a 400 Flex. He now operates two vans with three different pieces of cleaning equipment that allow him and his team to tackle jobs of varying size and scope.
Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise with nearly 3,500 franchises in 51 countries, serving 10,000 homes and businesses a day. Chem-Dry has been Entrepreneur magazine’s top-rated carpet cleaning franchise for 28 straight years. The Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction process delivers a faster-drying, deeper and more environmentally friendly clean that appeals to both home and business owners. In addition to carpet and area rugs, Chem-Dry provides tile and stone, granite countertop, leather and upholstery cleaning. | 2019-04-22T02:06:32 | https://chemdryfranchise.com/2017/03/14/chem-dry-franchisee-daniel-ashland/ |

Glenn Reynolds notices an emerging interpretation of PRISM as a phenomenon internally connected to geopolitical pacifism. Making unilateral peace requires infinite vigilance.
The same bureaucracy that takes the terror threat so seriously that it needs the phone and Internet records of hundreds of millions of law-abiding persons would never dream of doing a little more pre-screening in its immigration system … Because the formal, visible state has been neutered by political correctness, the dark, furtive shadow state has to expand massively to make, in secret, the judgment calls that can no longer be made in public.
PRISM and similar programs aren’t a ghastly misstep or an avoidable accident. They are the essence of Obama’s grand strategy: public peace and secret war. To cool down the public face of the war, he must intensify the secret struggle.
There’s some kind of conservation law at work there, and they always have the potential to trip people up. Bad outcomes are conserved might be too harsh, but it gets close to something.
A better interpretation is that we refuse to acknowledge the reality of “trade-offs”, and that no one either wants to be held responsible (or accountable for actually having to do the hard political and intellectual work) of coming to a balanced, reasonable judgment where they can be blamed for sacrificing one competing value to another. That’s what “reasonable” means.
The problem with the system is that we can’t be openly reasonable, because there’s some kind of always publicly-exploitable asymmetry. That’s why senior leaders are fond of contradictory incoherence, and why they say incoherent things like, “It’s not national security vs. civil liberties. It is always and everywhere both.” Ah, thanks, that clears it up. It’s a good thing all choices are actually “false choices” because that means hard choices never need to be made. Or even discussed! Which, really, is awfully helpful.
Remember “torture vs. intelligence”. Krauthammer spoke of conducting “moral calculus”. Ha! The rest of the commentariat, right on Bushitler cue, said “False choice! Torture never ‘works’. The Science is settled!”, or Andrew Sullivan, “It’s just Wrong!”. Thanks for that nuanced analysis and subtle illumination of the issue Sully.
But what was the most insightful semi-public answer. Judge Posner, of course. “Maybe we should both make it illegal and expect our front-liners to do it anyway when it’s necessary and the right thing to do. Instead of explicitly formalizing the real process, spelling out the circumstances and procedures, we’ll allow them some ‘understood’ leeway to apply their judgment when they understand the exigencies, then blame them if they caught, then have some judge forgive them out of the media spotlight later – because that’s what we intended to do all along.” Posner’s best example of this, “Of course cops can’t harm their prisoners – that’s the plain language of the statute and there are no exceptions, not even in case law precedent. And yet, somehow, we all look the other way when some guy’s brought in on kidnapping a child that we think is still alive somewhere, and some Chicago cop punches him in the nose to get him to talk.” We don’t really go after the cop, and we always find some other way to convict without directly using the confessed evidence. This is how our entire system of “security” anywhere in government from local cop to intelligence collection works now.
USG also acts in a cognitively dissonant fashion because it has built, sometimes purposefully and often inadvertently, unbreachable firewalls between departments that cannot be resolved through interagency dialogue. Everyone finds debatably “within the law” ways to route around the most obnoxious mission-frustrating parts of the law which impede another part of the law which tells them what they are tasked to achieve.
There are plenty of “pincer effects” build into the system that annoy bureaucrats and this is one of them. “Protect Privacy” and “Know Everything”. Cognitive Dissonance must either be resolved (impossible) or contained through compartmentalization. The incentives to do exactly this exactly along the obscure, not-completely-consciously-aware, ways that Posner described, are irresistible.
Your argument is quite resonant with the two cited, I think. They both think the rhetoric of escaped trade-offs is absurd (at best) and corresponds to an unavowable compensator, such as PRISM. As to the second aspect — should we positively but discreetly endorse the unavowable — well, perhaps. It heaps all the burdens resulting from the squalid hypocrisy of democracy on the security forces, who are forced to make a self-sacrificial moral judgement that society refuses even to think about in case it sullies pretty little minds and souls, but that’s the way of things.
1. Putting my cards on the table – I have nothing against PRISM (or anything like it) except that it’s arguably too weak. I don’t consider it to be a “bad outcome” at all, it’s a necessity no matter how unfortunate and difficult a reality that is to accept. Dark Truths people. Practically every non-Anglosphere country, including many members of the EU who consider themselves genuine and diligent adherents to the Human Rights Theology, go much, much farther that this kind of thing and are limited by nothing except budget constraints.
2. Also, I think people are radically misunderstanding the nature of our problem, or phrased in different ways, focusing on the wrong things or buying into someone else’s frame in the way they structure “the debate”. The secondary problem is the inability to hide your communications from the government. The primary problem is the inability to openly express your honest sentiments, heretical to the Blue Orthodoxy, without totalitarian consequences, formal, informal, or otherwise.
Consider the recent case of Marine Le Pen. This is the problem. People want privacy and secrecy because of the primary problem. What good does it do to solve the secondary problem is all it means is that we have to go dark, remain in the closet, and lurk in the shadows. If we shout “Protect my closet! How dare you threaten my shadows!”, we are acquiescing and surrendering to a state of affairs which requires shadows – which implicitly concedes the position that the standing witch-trial court in which we live is perfectly justified and appropriate. Ask yourselves which problem you would prefer to solve if you could have only one. No privacy, but true freedom of speech, or true privacy, but no ability to openly, and with real-life attribution, say what you believe? I’ll take option one in a heartbeat. Et tu?
3. My impression is that the unavowability of the”unavowable compensator” is not so much a substantive issue (though it is for some), but a rhetorical phenomenon. Most of the managerial leftists who hysterically decry some controversial security tactic when out of power are completely nonchalant and sanguine (or even sadistically enthusiastic) about them when in power. The debate is always unwinnable when the commentariat – neither responsible nor accountable for any actual results – can always claim that X is a sinister betrayal of our values that only evil people could support.
— I’m far less sure. Option one requires a degree of trust in the dominant authorities that is hard for me even to imagine. In addition, there is something to be said for a social order that respects private liberties, whilst suppressing public ones. Who do you sympathize with more, a quiet gay couple living together discreetly, or a gay activist devoted to noisy public demonstrations that denounce the homophobia of society through orchestrated exhibitions of public obscenity? If the response to HBD research was to say: “Look, your findings are clearly rigorous and intellectually persuasive, but the public is not able to handle this kind of information, so we have to find a way to restrict its circulation”, I might not entirely approve, but I would certainly find it vastly more acceptable than the present regime, based on lies, hysterical public denunciations, and other witch-hunt methods. Protecting the right to honesty is far more important than protecting the right to publicity.
Political winds may shift (we can only hope), but short of a new dark age technologies don’t disappear. We have crossed the Information Surveillance Rubicon and will not go back (and ought not to – we need it) so it’s back to fighting on the front of open expression.
I’m not strenuously resisting your PRISM point — it’s compelling. In any case, I already assume the world’s competent intelligent services have access to everything (which is why the Bitcoin anonymity issue has never been a deal-breaker for me).
“Open expression” — OK, but I’m not sure we should waste out energies defending obnoxious vociferous mobs. Maybe total freedom of expression, as long as it’s communicated in Latin? Or for a more contemporary set of global realities, classical Chinese?
I’d go even further and completely deny that public demonstrations are an exercise of liberty in any meaningful sense. Even the most peaceful and civilized public demonstration is an attempt at the big-megaphone tactic of public discourse, where truth doesn’t matter, and the winner is the side that gets to shout down the opposition.
You’re right — a far more coherent framework. Voice + Public space = anti-liberty.
Practically every non-Anglosphere country, including many members of the EU who consider themselves genuine and diligent adherents to the Human Rights Theology, go much, much farther that this kind of thing and are limited by nothing except budget constraints.
One common misconception nowadays is that internet surveillance works the same way telephone wiretaps used to work in the past, i.e. that someone has to go out of his way to set it up, and if nobody does, the information is by default not recorded anywhere.
In the digital era, however, quite the opposite is the case. Usually you have to go out of your way to delete information, not to collect it. If you just do things the easiest and cheapest way, logs and backups will accumulate indefinitely, and storage is so dirt-cheap that it’s usually not worth the hassle to reclaim it. So rather than having to set up surveillance actively, the government only needs to tell the internet and phone companies not to bother to destroy information, and to provide access to their logs and backups as required.
This is not true of all information, of course. Recording the entire content of all traffic is difficult and expensive. However, the “pen register” kinds of logs, i.e. who communicated with whom, who published or accessed which online material, who engaged in which transactions, etc., certainly have this property of being easier to keep than delete. Moreover, servers are fully backed up, so by cross-referencing their backups with the aforementioned logs, the system offers enormous surveillance capabilities by default. It is simply not realistic that governments wouldn’t obtain this wealth of information about their subjects, one way or another.
public demonstrations are another manifestation of democracy. democracy is the problem not the solution. therefore public demonstrations have to go.
I do not believe it coincidence that PRISM rhymes with PRISON.

The latest portion of the race began under full-course yellow following a crash for the #97 Oman Racing with TF Sport Aston Martin.
That shook up the order, with only the #8 Bentley Team M-Sport machine retaining its place among the front-runners. Behind the new-spec Continental GT3, the #114 Emil Frey Lexus vaulted up the standings to run second, ahead of the #23 GT Sport Motul Team RJN Nissan.
There was almost immediate drama when the race went green as the #63 Grasser Racing Lamborghini made heavy contact with the #58 Garage 59 McLaren, causing significant damage to both cars. The pair were forced to pit for lengthy repairs, while the #63 was also hit with a 30-second stop-go penalty. They continue to circulate, albeit several laps off the pace.
Out front the #8 Bentley built a sizeable lead, but another full-course yellow – this time caused by the #17 WRT-Audi shedding its left-rear wheel – provided more drama.
The #8 Bentley emerged at the head of the field once again, with Andy Soucek now at the wheel, followed by Kelvin van der Linde in the #29 Montaplast by Land Audi and the #23 Nissan of Matt Parry.
That was the state of affairs at four and a half hours, with Soucek holding an advantage of almost 10s over Van der Linde, while 23 of the 63 starters remained on the lead lap.
In the Pro-Am class, the #49 RAM Racing Mercedes found itself in a lofty P4 overall following the initial full-course yellow and was able to stay ahead of the chasing Pro cars for several laps. A radiator problem then halted the British squad’s progress and sent the Mercedes into the pits. At four and a half hours, the #42 Strakka Mercedes led the class and ran 14th overall.
The #54 Emil Frey Jaguar remained at the head of the Silver Cup field, circulating in 25th overall and more than 40s clear of the pursuing #78 Barwell Lamborghini. In an ever-changing Am Cup battle the #991 Herberth Motorsport Porsche held top spot and 39th overall, while the GDL Lamborghini still led Groupe National. | 2019-04-19T08:24:23 | https://www.blancpain-gt-series.com/news/1372/race-comes-alive-as-total-24-hours-of-spa-approaches-five-hour-mark?filter_driver_id=1887 |

While Father’s Day has been celebrated for hundreds of years, it was not observed in the United States until the 20th century and might not have gained attention without the creation of Mother’s Day.
Here’s some good news for red wine drinkers and just in time for Mother’s Day.
Some of us love to have a glass of red wine with dinner every once in a while. Of course, the catch is that it often leaves the teeth stained, so maybe it’s not such a good idea to order it on your first date or while out on a business dinner. Potential teeth staining aside, there are a lot of reasons to think that it might NOT be bad for your oral health.
Valentine’s Day* is this month. The ever-present tiny candy hearts we see this month have “Kiss Me” printed on them. You’re more likely to exchange chocolate “Kisses” with someone this month. Make sure your mouth is in good health because, as it turns out, a kiss is more than just a kiss.
The GOOD news is that kissing stimulates saliva, which can help fight cavities. However, the BAD news is that you may run the risk of getting unwanted germs, illnesses or diseases instead of candy, flowers or cards this Valentine’s Day.
Every year we all make a variety of new year’s resolutions, but unfortunately many of us don’t follow through. If you want to take better care when looking after your teeth and gums this year, these five resolutions may help you.
We might be biased, but there’s nothing as attractive as a healthy smile. But many of us take our toothbrush for granted. We go to the store and pick one that’s on sale or has our favorite color. But, have you ever wondered what the ideal toothbrush is for you? Are electric toothbrushes better than manual ones? Are soft bristles more effective than hard ones for eliminating plaque?
We tend NOT to think about our tongue until it hurts. When it does hurt, we find out quickly just how important the tongue is for eating, swallowing, and speaking. | 2019-04-19T17:09:44 | http://www.grandvilledental.com/news-updates/page/2/ |

You know that fun game you play every time you wander over to Download.com and try to download an app? The game where you have to find the right download button in a sea of buttons or risk infecting your computer with malware until the end of time? Well, it’s game over man.
Yesterday Google announced, via its security blog, that it would begin automatically blocking pages that feature fake download buttons. The move is part of its Safe Browsing program’s war on “social engineering” ads. Social engineering is described by Google as “deceptive tactics that try to trick you into doing something dangerous”.
The awful fake download buttons regularly found at places like KeepVid and Download.com definitely qualify. | 2019-04-24T00:01:58 | https://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2016/02/google-goes-to-war-against-annoying-fake-download-buttons |
The Silberkammer is the first part of the self-guided tour you can take inside the Habsburg’s winter palace.
Though titled the Imperial Silver Collection, it’s actually a healthy mix of porcelain, glassware, linen, silver, gold and other household Habsburg items – particularly those from the 19th century and the rule of Emperor Franz Joseph.
When you look at the displays, you begin to understand the sheer variety of dinner services and similar the court must have demanded.
One service for breakfast, another for balls, another for the private use of Empress Elisabeth, another for Franz Joseph’s hunting lodge, another for state visits, etc. etc….
Throw in the gifts from foreign royals and you wonder if the huge size of the Hofburg palace might be due to the required storage space for soup bowls and fish knives.
Right from the start, you can understand why Vienna is still riddled with confectioners – the first display of kitchen equipment features an awful lot of cake tins.
Decorative stands for serving cakes, sweetmeats and candies pop up regularly: meat might be the main dish, but it’s pretty clear where the Habsburg heart lies when it comes to eating.
Now I know why Marie Antoinette – born a Habsburg princess – said “Let them eat cake” (except she probably didn’t).
Think a plate is just a plate? Something to eat off? Nope.
Maybe a symbol of love or respect, as in Empress Elisabeth’s gift of a nature-themed dinner service to Emperor Franz Joseph for the aforementioned hunting lodge.
Maybe a symbol of power and influence. If a king is popping round for breakfast, you need to bring out your best crockery – the image and status of an empire are at stake.
And the best crockery does not come cheap. It costs money – money needed for the little expenses of Imperial life, like financing wars against Napoleon.
The reason a lot of gold and silver items from the past are not on display in the Silberkammer is because they were melted down for funds.
This indirectly led to the popularity of porcelain as an affordable alternative, although it was initially limited to soup and dessert courses.
As you go round, look for all the historical glassware from Lobmeyr and porcelain from the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory. The former is still going strong, and the latter is the ancestor of the Augarten porcelain company (also still going strong – you might like their porcelain museum).
Both have flagship stores on the Graben in Vienna’s city centre and are good sources of gifts or souvenirs of the upmarket variety.
Anyway, so what are the highlights?
As mentioned before, the Napoleonic wars wrecked havoc on the Imperial budget, forcing the Habsburgs to sell the family silver (literally). However, Napoleon’s eventual defeat did have some side benefits.
The Grand Vermeil is a silver service plated with gold, first produced for the Court of Milan under French rule. Austria’s Emperor Francis 1 bought it up in 1816 and replaced Napoleon’s coat of arms with his own.
By around 1850, Viennese artisans had extended the service to cover 140 place settings. When you have around 4,500 pieces in your dinner service, there’s never a panic if an extra guest turns up.
But you don’t want to be the one doing the washing up.
This is an unusual dessert service from 1824. The “ruin” plates are painted with Habsburg castles and fortresses, and the Gothic-style table centrepieces contain portraits of previous Habsburg rulers, like Albrecht 1, and their consorts.
It reminds me of the latter part of the Kunstkammer collection, where there seems to be a strong need for physical expressions of political legitimacy.
Was it arrogance? Propaganda? Simple self-indulgence? Or even insecurity? Emperor Francis I had given up the title of Holy Roman Empire only a few years previously, which was a knock to the Habsburg pride.
A small vase of flowers isn’t going to impress the Tsar of Russia.
Nor is a big vase of flowers, frankly.
So the richly decorated pieces that ran along the centre of a table were a big deal for banquets. You’ll find these centerpieces throughout the Silberkammer, but the deluxe version is the Milan Centrepiece from 1838.
This was used together with the Grand Vermeil dinner service and could extend up to 30m. That’s longer than the length of a basketball court.
The (somewhat smaller) display in the Silberkammer gives you a feel for the grandeur of those state banquets. Also look for the bronze gilt French centrepieces from 1850/1851 – each a huge complex of figures, forms, scrolls and candle holders.
In the kitchen and confectionery area, note how all the kitchen equipment is stamped with the double eagle and “K K” Imperial abbreviation. This discouraged stealing apparently.
As you leave the kitchen area, look left to see photos of the staff at work, all “dressed up” in their caps and hats.
In the old court silver and table rooms, look for parts of a dinner service used at the front, mainly made of alpacca (nickel silver) – a silver-coloured copper alloy better able to survive the rough and tumble of military life.
The same area has an 1870 Minton dinner service made of English porcelain and featuring floral and animal designs (it’s the one Elisabeth gave to Franz Joseph for his hunting lodge). Below it you get your first glimpse of the Milan centrepiece.
In the “court on the move” area, check the first cabinets for examples of the Imperial fold – a way of folding the napkin that is (still) only done for visiting heads of state.
The folding technique is passed down orally and apparently only known by two people. Presumably they’re never allowed to travel in the same vehicle (or eat the same fish).
This area also features some of Elisabeth’s personal crockery, like the dolphin-themed service used at her villa in Corfu.
Note also the travel boxes, which were custom-built to ensure an exact fit for transporting dinner services.
You can just imagine the servants opening each box on arrival with some trepidation, praying to any convenient God that everything is still in one piece.
The remaining areas largely focus on porcelain and glass services, such as the Hungarian dinner service ordered by Emperor Maximilian of Mexico (Franz Joseph’s brother), but never delivered since he was executed in the meantime.
Some more examples of napkin-folding mastery, this time Barock-style fish and bird shapes (if you want to try this at home, you’ll need bigger napkins, believe me).
The 1814 gold service hastily purchased in time to impress those attending the Congress of Vienna that began late in that year and settled the future of Europe for decades to come.
It’s porcelain covered in polished gold. Again, funding wars against Napoleon had seen the end of the previous gold service. Seems Napoleon had a lot to answer for.
Meissen porcelain from 1775 – Germany’s Meissen was Europe’s first porcelain manufactory. Austria’s own Vienna Porcelain Manufactory was the second.
A collection of Imari (far eastern) porcelain dating back to around 1700 and put together by Duke Alexander of Lorraine.
In the Imari collection, also look for the personal solid gold cutlery set of Empress Maria Theresia, complete with its Imperial egg cup.
Finally, there’s a Minton dessert service near the exit. This was a gift to Franz Joseph from Britain’s Queen Victoria, who bought it at the Great Exhibition in 1851.
The service was so delicate, you couldn’t actually use it. So “thanks for that” the Emperor presumably thought.
When you exit the Silberkammer, go up the stairs for the second part of your tour – the Sisi Museum. | 2019-04-24T04:21:31 | http://www.visitingvienna.com/sights/winter-palace/silberkammer/ |
There’s plenty of stuff to find at the Golf Australia website, like this pace of play poster they produced a few years ago.
This poster from Golf Australia offers a few tips on how to avoid slow play on the golf course.
The poster features Australian golfers Matt Griffin and Stacey Keating. Keating is arguably our most successful female golfer over the last 12 months, winning back-to-back titles on the European Tour in 2012 and winning the Australian Order of Merit. Griffin notched up his second second professional victory on the weekend by winning a fog shortened Telecom SK Open.
While most of us know and adhere to what seem like obvious tips for fast golf, a minority don’t. Perhaps print it out and stick it up in the office or at the club.
Better still, email it to your slow golfing buddy before next weekend. Anyone have Guan Tianlang’s email address? | 2019-04-18T21:15:44 | https://aussiegolfer.com.au/tips-for-faster-golf/ |
Deportation of those convicted of crimes has become a major focus of Federal immigration authorities.
Over the past three years the numbers of persons expelled from the US has gone up markedly.
South Florida criminal defense lawyers are increasingly asked what can be done.
Florida law permits criminal pleas to be withdrawn if deportation is a direct result of a guilty plea and deportation consequences were not clearly explained by the sentencing judge.
The 4th District in Florida, which hears appeals from Fort Lauderdale (Broward) and Palm Beach pronounced the rule: Failure to advise of immigration or deportation consequences of a plea to a criminal charge can be grounds to withdraw a plea. The defendant must allege and prove that 1. You were not advised of the deportation consequences of a plea 2. That the plea alone subjects you to deportation 3. The motion to withdraw the plea is “timely”.
If you are facing federal removal proceedings contact a Florida criminal defense attorney for a consultation. The area is complex so take the time to speak to a criminal attorney with immigration experience. | 2019-04-21T16:36:13 | https://www.southfloridacriminaldefenselawyerblog.com/florida_criminal_convictions_a/ |
So, in a dystopian future, children fight to the death for the entertainment of the populace and to provide social cohesion. And a girl is the victor. As some have noted, we have a Spartan child-raising theme, along with some Theseus and some Roman gladiators, all presented as a combination of The Truman Show and Survivor. And one more thing. The three books in the trilogy are in the top ten on Amazon’s bestseller list, and the movie is the first action movie with a female lead to break into the all-time top 200 grossing action movies, so something here has caught on, particularly with teenagers who constitute a large part of the audience for the books and the movie. What might that be?
Let’s look at what is going on in this movie. And let’s make an assumption: If a movie with an improbable premise catches on, it could be because on some level people feel that it depicts their experience.
The people in the movie, outside of the capitol, are impoverished and hungry. Few are hungry today, but many feel that they are having a hard time getting by. So there is the first touch point.
Next, young people in the movie are forced into competition. Today, we don’t even have the draft any more, but young people, forced into competition for grades, entry into college, and making the team feel more stress than we might think, and I suspect that plays a role in the success of the story.
Next, in the movie there is no hope of a better world. These kids accept their fates, train hard, fight hard, and try to bring honor to their country and their communities. As we look at the lives of those in the former Soviet Union and in former Eastern Block countries, we see how hope is rung out of people. The fact that this resonates with American kids today should warn us that there is something wrong with our own contemporary cultural and political situation.
Notice that in Total Recall, Ultra Violet, The Island, and dozens of other science fiction films, the protagonist overthrows the oppressive system and frees everyone, and in movies like Gattaca, where the oppressive system remains intact, the protagonist at least beats the system. But not here. Our two chief protagonists are able to win and live, but only within the system. They go home (presumably with more adventures to follow in sequels), but the system that suppresses, demoralizes, and ultimately enslaves its subjects, endures.
So, if this movie is reflective of the way young people feel today, how do they feel? They feel pessimistic. They feel that the government is hostile to them, and they are hopeless to change it. They feel they live in poverty brought on by a corrupt system. They are profoundly pessimistic. How could that be?
People tend to think of the world as it was when they grew up, perhaps as it was in the time of Harry Truman’s “The buck stops here,” of Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System, of Kennedy’s vision to go to the moon, of Bush senior’s character and courage, of Reagan’s gleaming city on a hill, of Clinton’s joy of life and balanced budgets.
But what do young people who were born in the past fifteen or twenty years recall? What is their experience of our country and our government?
– A congress that funds lavish international first class travel on “fact finding” junkets for themselves and their families?
– A first family that spends half its time on luxury vacations, flying on personal his-and-hers jumbo jets?
– Washington parties catered at thousands of dollars per person?
– Fund raising dinners at $40,000 a plate?
– Government workers paid on average twice what comparable workers in the private sector are paid?
– A president who lashes out at corporate meetings in Las Vegas (often the one bright moment in the otherwise dreary day-to-day lives of many workers—one thinks of Mao enforcing dull lives on his peons while he and his family lived in luxury) while members of his administration party there with a bill to the tax payer of $822,751, and then issue coins to commemorate the event as though they were Roman emperors?
– And a government that lashes out at and seeks to silence its critics.
When Harry Truman left the White House, he took the car he owned when he arrived out of storage and drove back to Missouri. Is this stuff disgusting, or is it just me?
Peggy Noonan writes in her column in the Wall Street Journal: “Every story that has broken through the past few weeks has been about who we are as a people. And they are all disturbing.
“There is the General Services Administration scandal. An agency devoted to efficiency is outed as an agency of mindless bread-and-circuses indulgence. They had a four-day regional conference in Las Vegas, with clowns and mind readers.
“The reason the story is news, and actually upsetting, is not that a government agency wasted money. That is not news. The reason it’s news is that the people involved thought what they were doing was funny, and appropriate. In the past, bureaucratic misuse of taxpayer money was quiet. You needed investigators to find it, trace it, expose it. Now it’s a big public joke. They held an awards show. They sang songs about the perks of a government job: “Brand new computer and underground parking and a corner office. . . . Love to the taxpayer. . . . I’ll never be under OIG investigation.” At the show, the singer was made Commissioner for a Day. ‘The hotel would like to talk to you about paying for the party that was held in the commissioner’s suite last night’ the emcee said. It got a big laugh.
“On the ‘red carpet’ leading into the event, GSA chief Jeffrey Neely said: ‘I am wearing an Armani.’ One worker said, ‘I have a talent for drinking Margarita. . . . It all began with the introduction of performance measures.’ That got a big laugh too.
“All the workers looked affluent, satisfied. Only a generation ago, earnest, tidy government bureaucrats were spoofed as drudges and drones. Not anymore. Now they’re way cool. Immature, selfish and vain, but way cool.
When our protagonist, Katniss leaves her impoverished coal town, where she had kept her mother and sister alive by hunting squirrels with a bow and arrows, she is escorted aboard a super train by a ridiculous overly made up fop of a woman where she sees table after table covered with rich foods. On arriving in the capital city, she encounters gleaming buildings, luxurious accommodations, and lavish meals. All funded on the backs of poor people like herself.
When I was a kid my father was rather high up in the New Deal SEC. We shopped at Sears.
So, here is a thought on why The Hunger Games might resonate with today’s teenagers. It is a depiction of the world in which they live.
While I agree with your review, I would like add a few thoughts to it.
It seems to me that this is yet another in a long series of recent movies that share the same general motif, and that is the slaying of the dragonslayer, just like in that dream that Jung once dreamt, in which he and the savage man slew Siegfried, the dragonslayer, by hurling their primitive weapons at him. It also goes back to Nietzche’s essay, The Birth of Tragedy, in which he elaborated on how the Apollonian ideal gradually replaced the Dionysian one, and eventually built around itself a civilisation based on its own image. The intellect achieved dominion over the irrational, spontaneous, chaotic aspect of life by repressing it and marking it as taboo, the dragon which represents the indomitable, wild nature of man, and of the world itself, was downgraded from a deity to fiend, forced to dwell in some remote, unattended basement of the psyche, just like the heroine in district 12, while the intellect erected ever grander monuments to itself, growing more and more complacent. The character of Donald Sutherland embodies this, he is analogous to The Architect from The Matrix, he even resembles him somewhat, the control freak, the Apollonian intellect run amok, and the decadent, fake, highly ritualized mazelike society resulting from it. And just like in The Matrix, there is a strong, primordial, instinctive resistance to this mathematically perfect, synthetic world, and it always comes from somebody who was able to see through its illusory nature by observing it from the outside. It is only fitting that this archetypal principle be embodied as female, the ancient War Goddess (also Manet’s painting: Luncheon on the Grass). She is personified as the Oracle, the antithesis to the Architect, and her champion Neo in The Matrix, but here, they are merged into one character, the goddess with the bow which champions herself. Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is another excellent example of just such a heroine, the dragon tattoo on her back embodies her essence and makes it crystal clear what she represents. Her symbol in this movie is the mockingbird, which, I would assume, represents the Trickster, and the Trickster is, to quote Joseph Campbell: the power of the dynamic of the total psyche to overthrow programs. And that is just what the heroine did, the Intellect failed to establish dominion over her through its power ritual, and the Architect instantly felt threatened, for she rode in fittingly wearing a dress of flames, flames which could easily grow into an uncontrollable wildfire. Now, I haven’t read the books either, but I assume that her actions eventually lead to a massive rebellion in which the people rise up to overthrow the oppressive government and bring the balance to the Force and all that, which would be the logical conclusion of this myth.
Another figure which is not to be overlooked is her drunken mentor, Haymitch. He can be said to represent Dionysus himself, the drunken god. He too is a marginalized misfit within the city, what Spangler would define as internal proletariat, someone who dwells within the society but is not part of it, a Dionysian man made small and insignificant by the Apollonian behemoth. He also reminds me of the centaur Chiron. The centaurs were in the Greek mythology known as drunken, violent beastmen, and yet, Chiron was the one who was able to control his bestial nature thus becoming the tutor of many of the greatest heroes of Greek myth.
Your Prometheous is wonderful and well Drive is just one of those perfect movies. I have spent some time on The Hunger Games also. The Capitol is Simulated Reality not unlike Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis in the limo, and outside Simulated Reality is a dark primitive poverty grinding world. But it is clairvoyant in what Foucault and Baudrillard call our greatest danger, that of confinement and surveillance. | 2019-04-25T21:17:10 | https://cinemadiscourse.com/the-hunger-games/ |
“You would be nowhere without Geography.” Michael Palin.
Our aim as a department is to give all students a real experience of Geography, wherever possible by direct involvement through fieldwork investigations and fieldtrips e.g. investigations around the school site in Year 7 and 8, urban and rural fieldwork in the local area at GCSE and a residential fieldtrip to Surrey at A Level. We have also run or are planning international trips to Italy and Iceland.
Classwork is, of course, also vital to success and students study a balance of topics relating to human, physical and environmental geography. Throughout the course, whether at Key Stage Level 3, 4 or 5, students will learn about geographical processes which will not only help them understand the world in which they live but will also give them the knowledge needed to predict changes in the future.
A wide variety of subjects are covered including rivers, coasts, tectonic activity, population change, settlement change, the growth and effects of tourism, sustainability, global warming and sources of energy. Topics are investigated at different scales, sometimes local, sometimes national and sometimes global and care is taken to ensure students build up a sound framework of the major human and physical landmarks located at each scale.

I started the 2nd dye day with picking the Red Violet. We did the shades, to the left is black added to the main colour. To the right is the pastilles made by using less dye and the white showing more.
We also did contrasting colours and going though the colour wheel and not around it. So this was my red violet and yellow.

This article traces the contours of an inconspicuous kind of state power in the form of sovereign safety. This power is articulated, more precisely, in a combination of four elements: the historical term of public credit, the liquid government bond, the risk-free asset of financial textbooks and the safe-haven function assumed by the bond market in times of uncertainty. All of these involve a peculiar translation from sovereign debt as the most risky asset to sovereign creditworthiness, circulating unsecured. If critical security studies has largely limited itself to a critique of the relatively recent sense of political state security, this article explores the relevance of a far older financial sense of ‘security’ and ‘securitization’ for contemporary studies of security. So far, the Foucault-inspired finance–security literature has emphasized the risk calculus as a principal mechanism in ‘securing circulation’. This article argues that sovereign safety constitutes an important overlooked factor in securing circulation in two ways: As the main form of collateral for financial transactions, its capacity to secure derives from being considered secure itself. As an epistemic variable, it constitutes the bedrock of modern finance theory. Moreover, rather than neatly complementary to the liberal security dispositif, sovereign safety can to some extent be said to represent the very object of the Foucaultian divesture of power. | 2019-04-21T16:14:56 | https://www.prio.org/Publications/Publication/?x=8926 |

We have moored our boat at Bell boats for three years and from our first visit we knew it was the right place for us. Not only because of its great location; near to shops, a pub and train line and being set just of the main river in a well-maintained, pretty setting but because of the genuinely warm welcoming we received from John and his daughter Camilla. Over the years they have constantly gone the extra mile when we have needed advice and help; nothing is too much trouble. In the office Camilla gives you her immediate undivided attention, is efficient and does what she says she will do as soon as she can. John is available and on site, is extremely accommodating and always willing to share his wealth of knowledge. As a team they provide a professional, friendly service giving a family feel to the marina that is hard to find elsewhere. | 2019-04-19T10:27:51 | http://www.bellboats.co.uk/testimonials/peter-and-colleen-whitstable-kent/ |
The Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice mega-hit musical, Evita, was revived on Broadway nearly two years ago for the first time since its 1979 debut. The national touring company of Evita has begun and is now in Seattle for a limited time. With wonderful music, this newly revised rendition is a beautiful sight and definitely of star quality.
Telling the story of the infamous First Lady of Argentina, the musical biasedly shows the life of the rags to riches, 20th century, South American Cinderella. Starting from poverty beginnings in 1920, Evita Duarte claws her way into the social society of Buenos Aires through a series of helpful relationships with a variety of men. Her life changes when she meets Colonel Juan Perón, a military-career man on his rise to power in a country ruled by an unstable military government. The two instantly fall in love bonding over a deeply rooted, shared ambition. Eva, as a rising radio star, rallies the people to his causes, while he overthrows military opposition, and together they soon become the President and First Lady of Argentina. While traveling abroad trying to build political relationships with the post World War Two European Powers, Eva starts to show signs of illness. She returns home and starts the Eva Perón Foundation to help the lower classes of Argentina. At age 33, Eva Perón dies of cervical cancer, sending the country into a massive state of mourning, and leaving a legacy as one of history's most notorious women.
Sean MacLaughlin plays the military dictator Juan Perón. With a strong voice and a good stage presence he brings the role of Perón into a third dimension. The role is written as flat in order to let the female lead shine, but Mr. MacLaughlin lets Perón stand out with his own energy and personality so the audience can get an insight into the support and private ambitions that fueled Perón's goals.
Caroline Bowman plays the social climbing Eva Perón. Her voice is clear; her stage presence is palpable, and her dancing is on the mark. She easily shows us Evita's fierce determination, and even the character's capacity for empathy when singing (beautifully heartfelt) the runaway-hit song, 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina.' Although using a sneer to represent determination a little too often, Ms. Bowman definitely keeps the strength of Evita's backbone and her relentless tenacity consistently throughout the show.
The real star of this musical pop-opera is the 'Everyday Man,' and unofficial narrator of the musical, Che, played brilliantly by Josh Young. Mr. Young shows his extreme talent from the opening scenes when he is on stage, and where he remains throughout most of the show. His voice is strong, taking complete control of each song and delivering them without failure. Through crafted inflections and subtle expressions, Mr. Young fully expresses the frustration-turned-excitement-turned disappointment at the Perón rise and their governing dictatorship of the country.
The entire cast steps up to the (tango) plate and delivers a completely enjoyable performance. All voices blend well with good harmonies, and each ensemble member adds a subtle nuance contributing to the success of this production. Christopher Johnstone and Krystina Alabado, performing the musical's two supporting characters, the tango singer Magaldi and Perón's young mistress (the character is only known by that designation), respectively, both do well with their solo songs. The choreography is beautifully tango-based giving the rich feel of the culture of Buenos Aires.
The scenic design by Christopher Oram should definitely get a mention. With highly effective results, actual film footage of the ornate coffin and Evita's funeral procession were used, giving the audience a glimpse of the magnificent impact she had on the country.
After a conception/studio album release in London (with Elaine Paige as Eva and Colm Wilkinson as Che), Evita opened on Broadway in early September 1979. Bringing together the powerhouse team of Bob Gunton (Perón), Mandy Patinkin (Che) and Patti LuPone (Eva), the musical was directed by the great impresario Hal Prince. Nominated for 13 Tony Awards it won 7, including Best Book (Tim Rice), Best Score (Andrew Lloyd Webber), Best Featured Actor (Mandy Patinkin), Best Actress (Patti LuPone), and Best Direction of a Musical (Hal Prince).
The first revival of Evita began on Broadway in March 2012. Starring Tony winner Michael Cerveris as Perón, and Grammy winner Ricky Martin as Che, the revival made history with Elena Roger, being the first Argentine woman to play the title role on Broadway. It was nominated for three Tony awards including Best Revival and Best Featured Actor (Michael Cerveris), but didn't win.
After many years of pursuit, the pop diva Madonna was awarded the acclaimed role for the film version in 1996. With Antonio Banderas as Che, and Jonathan Pryce as Perón, a new song was added to the score. The song 'You Must Love Me' (included in the current stage production) won the only Oscar for the film. | 2019-04-18T16:59:18 | http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews42_01/page25.cfm |
Colombia’s Environment Minister will try to reach a decision on the Pacific Malaga Bay before the end of the current administration in August, he told local businessmen and community members in Cali.
The minister attended a meeting with environmental authorities, Afro community council members, the Cali Chamber of Commerce, and community members from el Valle on Monday to discuss controversial plans to create a port in the bay, which is a mating site for humpback whales.
“There will be a park; I have said so in every possible scenario. Bahia Malaga is a protected area and we have completed the process [for a park]. What we are discussing is if it is possible for both [park and port] things to exist. As the minister of environment, I can’t ignore the voices of the Governor of el Valle, of ANDI, and the Chamber of Commerce. This decision affects the entire region and the entire country,” Costa said.
Attendees of the forum expressed discontent at the minister’s delay in signing to declare the area a national park.
“If the Colombian Academy for Exact Sciences and all the studies have been done say that we have an urgent priority, we can’t risk one whale or the fragility of the ecosystem… you can’t say that keep saying that the position is inadequate to declare Bahia Malaga [a park] and keep [mamando gallo] giving excuses to declare the area a national park,” one attendee said.
Several attendees expressed concern to the minister about competing port proposals in Tribuga, an area with conditions similar to Malaga Bay.
“This isn’t about Malaga or Tribuga; this is a palace they are proposing to confuse and to create bias. This is about Malaga. Tribuga at this moment is beginning the construction of a road with social objectives. This polarizes the discussion”, Costa said.
The Cali Chamber of Commerce and the ANDI are requesting another study to be completed by UNIVALLE in following months.
The environment minister has the final word about the fate of the bay and the decision to declare the area a national park is irreversible. Malaga Bay would become Colombia’s 55th national park. | 2019-04-22T16:30:55 | https://colombiareports.com/malaga-bay-debate-ocntinues/ |
There is no greater vice than impatience. Time and time again, I have heard how humans have had to pay a great price for this vice. Be it in war, governance or infraconstruction; impatience has cost organizations a fortune.
In the infraconstruction industry, I have seen, municipalities have been the most impatient of all. Even until now, they seek to reduce infrastructure costs by cutting costs at every corner they can. Just like contractors cut materials on every nook and corner to save extra money; municipalities attempt save on each and every phase of construction; right from design to project completion, without realizing that the only way to achieve this, is by reducing project’s quality.
They demand the designer and contractor to develop lean methods to complete projects at reduced prices, but forget that the only way for them to do so, is by lowering their work’s quality. Because after all, contractors never accept risk; they only price it. They also forget, that this low quality work will not only cost them today, but also tomorrow. Because a project built today will need maintenance for another 50-60 years. Just like the human body requires constant nourishment throughout its life to keep it fit, healthy and free of diseases. Similarly, an infraconstruction project after being built, requires constant maintenance to keep it functional and running.
Contractors never accept risk. Instead they price it.
In the industry, we often use the proverb: fix an error in design; it will cost you a euro. Fix an error in construction; it will cost you 10€. Fix an error in maintenance; it will cost you a 100 €.
This means, that if the municipality tries to save money during the designing phase, by asking the designer to work less hours on their design, so that they can save a euro. They forget that they are actually risking 10 €, which they will eventually have to pay during construction phase, to fix the errors made during designing phase, because of hurried work.
Similarly, if they try to save that 10 €, during the construction phase, they will eventually have to pay 100 € in the maintenance phase to fix that same error.
This industry insight is further validated by this research (international journal of technology enhancements and emerging engineering research), which has found, that when designers design unsound structures, and contractors construct poor construction. This eventually leads to structures that will experience need for total maintenance, within a very short span of time.
How much does maintenance really cost us?
In a report published by citylab; roads in America, need about $45.2 billion every year in maintenance, to keep them in a good state. But they currently only spend $16.5 billion in maintenance, while they spend a whooping $20.4 billion in new construction. Unsurprisingly, their older roads, bridges and other infrastructure are getting worse. And the new ones are approaching a state of repair.
This clears one fact, that what we build today; we will have to maintain tomorrow. Therefore, just continuing to build more infrastructure, and that too with reduced quality as the municipality aims to do, will only add up to our miseries.
Now if we couple this report with another study published by TCMA (best practices for infrastructure cost reduction strategies), which indicates that a road which required a dollar for maintenance four years ago, while it was in a ‘good’ state; will require five dollars four years later, when it reaches the ‘very poor’ state.
This means that if we leave our infrastructure as they are today, without maintaining them. We are heading towards a tomorrow, that will need five times more investment to maintain the same asset, which required just one yesterday.
Consider the below diagram, which is suggestive of how a simple error in design, that would only cost a euro to correct at the start, will lead to massive problems costing 500 times more.
We can only imagine now, what the condition of our infrastructure will be tomorrow, if we continue to build with ‘cheapest is the best’ approach. And try to save on costs by reducing the quality of our design and construction.
This approach will lead us to a future, which has the highest number of dilapidated infrastructure, which will need so much investment to repair, that it will be beyond our financial reach.
The simplest solution to this problem, as we have seen above, is to aim to have the best quality at each stage of construction; be it design, construction or maintenance. This way we will ensure, that we gain maximum time, before our infrastructure reach a state of disrepair. And when they reach that state of disrepair, we repair them with best quality.
At first, this approach might mean, that we won’t make savings the old harmful way; by cutting costs at every nook and corner. But let us not forget, that we will make massive savings in the maintenance stage, which as we have seen above bears the maximum cost in infrastructure.
And more of, it is not that we cannot make savings in design and construction stages. We can. It is just that, we will have to change the tools we use to make those savings. The best way to do that - one that has no side effects - is by using information management tools like Infrakit. Many municipalities and construction companies have already successfully made substantial savings using these tools. The next organization to take home those massive savings could be yours.
If you are curious about, how you could make enormous savings, and still have the best quality infrastructure. Read this detailed guide. Jero’s SASI (Solutions for all solutions in infrastructure).

We look at the Risk-Free Rate (RF) and the Market Risk Premium (MRP) used by analysts in 2015 to value companies of six countries.
The dispersion of both, the RF and the MRP used, is huge, and the most unexpected result is that the dispersion is higher for the RF than for the MRP.
We also find that some analysts have more freedom than others do. The data permits other comparisons. For example: Does it make sense that the average MRP used for Germany is higher than the average MRP used for France, Italy, Spain or the UK?
Most of the analysts use a RF higher than the yield of the 10-year Government bonds. A reason for it and for the huge dispersion may be the activity of the European Central Bank (ECB). The risk-free rate is the required return to Government bonds when nobody (not even the ECB) manipulates the market. A question arises: May we consider the Quantitative Easing (QE) implemented by the ECB in 2014 and 2015 “market abuse”, “market manipulation”, a way of “altering competitive markets”…?
We revised more than 1,000 analyst reports about companies with headquarters in six countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and USA. We looked for reports that indicated the Risk-Free Rate (RF) and the Market Risk Premium (MRP) used by the analyst in the valuation. We found only 156. Exhibit 1 contains the date, the company of the financial analyst, the company valued, and the RF and MRP used. The analysts belong to 35 different companies and the reports refer to 99 different companies.
Figures 1 and 2 contain the Risk-Free Rate (RF) and the Market Risk Premium (MRP) used in 2015 in by the financial analysts in the 156 reports. The dispersion is huge.
Table 1 contains the statistics of the RF, MRP and (RF + MRP) that appear in Figure 1. The most unexpected result is that the (Standard deviation / average) is higher for RF than for MRP in the six countries: the dispersion is higher for the RF used than for the MRP used.
The reader can do also other comparisons and assessments. For example: Does it make sense that the average MRP used for Germany is higher than the average MRP used for France, Italy, Spain or the UK? Does it make sense that the MRP and the RF used have positive correlation only in France?
The (average RF) used by analysts is substantially higher than the (average RF) of the survey.
The average (RF + MRP) used by analysts is substantially higher than the average (RF + MRP) of the survey.
The anomalous low yields on the Government bonds in 2014 and 2015 (see Figure 3) may have some influence on the results presented on the previous section. Figure 3 suggests three pairs of countries with RF moving quite close: Italy-Spain, Germany-France and US-UK.
A comment about the Quantitative Easing (QE) implemented by the ECB in 2014, 2015… It is just a strange synonym for “print a lot of money (euros) and buy many, many bonds of the countries in the EU”. By doing so, bond prices increase (and bond yields decrease) dramatically. Some people refer to this “QE” as “market abuse of the ECB”, “market manipulation”, “altering competitive markets”, “expropriation of savings”… We agree with all this definitions: they are clearer than “QE”.
d) Different RF and different MRP. Among these we find the analysts of Spanish companies that belong to Deutsche Bank (see table 3). Other companies where the analysts have a lot of freedom are Jefferies, Morgan Stanley, Natixis, Societe Generale (although not in the USA) and UBS. | 2019-04-23T22:18:47 | https://www.valuewalk.com/2015/11/huge-dispersion-of-the-risk-free-rate-and-market-risk-premium-used-by-analysts-in-2015/ |

Support for sealing communities like Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador, is needed now as much as ever. Photo: Twillingate.com.
Of all conflicts between advocates of sustainable use of wildlife and advocates of animal rights, none has been more enduring than the sealing issue. For more than 50 years, sealers have been on the front line in a war to decide how we manage our wildlife – so long, in fact, that there is a danger their supporters will lose interest. To everyone who recognises the importance of keeping this traditional harvest alive, I say, renew your support for sealing. It’s needed now as much as ever.
Sealing was not always the cause célèbre of the animal rights movement. Back in the 1960s, when the anti-sealing campaign began, the prime target was whaling. Despite the little-known fact that the whaling industry had already halted the excesses of its past, animal rightists (and not a few conservationists) were determined to shut it down completely. And they nearly succeeded.
This cleared the way for the anti-sealing campaign to grab the headlines – something it has been doing ever since. Half a century on, the beleaguered sealers are still fighting, with the current battleground being the EU.
What makes the sealing story so remarkable is that it has lasted this long. Most of the credit belongs to the sealers themselves – both indigenous communities of the High North, and the descendants of settlers – for their refusal to die. Thanks also must go to a handful of governments for their unflinching support.
The sealers, of course, are fighting for the future of their cultures and one of the few livelihoods available to them. Anyone who has visited the northern reaches of the world will understand why. We are struck by the natural beauty of the rugged landscape, the purity of the air, and the abundance of life in the oceans. This beauty continues to exist because people maintain traditional ways of life, and central to this is utilizing local natural resources, including seals. Fishermen and hunters tackle the seas and the ice to bring home their catch, and what they don’t consume, they sell.
This beauty continues to exist because people maintain traditional ways of life, and central to this is utilizing local natural resources, including seals.
Governments, meanwhile, have supported the sealers for a variety of reasons. They recognise their right to self-determination, they want to keep people “on the land” (not flooding into overcrowded cities), and they recognise the role played by wildlife use in ecosystem management. Because seals consume commercial fish and forage species, and sustain others such as sharks and orcas, governments are increasingly focusing their research on the impact of seals and seal harvesting on the ecosystem as a whole.
This approach reflects a need to ensure that seal populations will continue to thrive. It also ensures that we live up to a moral responsibility to understand the impacts of harvesting choices on other species. This can mean limiting seal harvesting or encouraging it, depending on particular regional circumstances.
Finding the right balance between prey and predators makes the marine ecosystem more productive and preserves its biodiversity.
An inshore fishing vessel out looking for seals. Often 100 miles or more from their home port, this can be dangerous work when the wind picks up and the ice starts to shift.
Veterinarians, too, have supported sealers by denouncing the message of animal rights groups that sealing is inhumane. The most common method for harvesting seals is using a rifle, while use of the “hakapik”, a traditional harvesting tool, is increasingly rare today. Veterinarians consider both to be humane because they consistently cause instant unconsciousness before death.
The sealers have also received broad support from advocates of sustainable use with no direct interest in sealing. Croc farmers, kangaroo meat harvesters, you name it; across the globe, wildlife users have thrown their support behind the sealers. Meanwhile major conservation groups such as the IUCN and WWF have acknowledged that sealing does not pose any conservation issues.
Yet despite the perseverance of the sealers themselves and the breadth of support for sealing, all is not well in paradise. The relentless attacks from groups with seemingly inexhaustible funds have tested our support to the limit and found it wanting. Proof of this is the fact that sealers are still losing ground with the recent closure of the EU market (except for that reviled exemption for products from indigenous communities). The enormous potential US market, meanwhile, is just as far off as ever. The US has banned all marine mammal products since 1972, and no one, not even the governments of sealing nations, is willing to mount a serious challenge to this ban.
As advocates of sustainable use, we should be enormously thankful that, against all odds, the sealers have survived the last 50 years. But we must not take their survival for granted. They are under constant threat and cannot be allowed to disappear, if for no other reason than that we may be next.
Every part of a seal is used. Popular is perfumed soap made from seal oil, such as this from Sealed with a Kiss.

What is Lenovo S750 phone unlocking ?
Most service providers lock their phones to their network, stopping you from using your phone on various other service providers. Essentially , they want to keep your business because the phone will only work only on their Network. Lenovo S750 Phone unlocking is the way of taking out the Network lock from the phone. Lenovo S750 Unlocking can be achieved by either ordering an unlock code that is calculated from your Lenovo S750 unique IMEI number or by downloading unlocking software to unlock your phone directly. Notice: An un-locked 2G phone will never take a 3G simcard. However an un-locked 3G phone can accept and work with a 2G handset. 3G handsets have backward compatible use which makes it possible for those to recognize and function with a 2G simcard However, an un-locked 2G handset is not able to recognise the more modern 3G/4G sim card technology.

How can I find out if my Lenovo S750 phone is locked ?
If you do not have access to a SIM card from a different network in that case there is a less scientific technique to use to check if your Lenovo S750 phone is locked. Simply just look to see if your service provider has placed their company logo on your Lenovo S750 phone somewhere. Just to illustrate in the united kingdom orange usually lock their phones and they usually “badge” their S750 phones with their Orange logo possibly on the front or the back of the Lenovo S750 phone.
Unlock your Lenovo S750 by unlock Code is substantially the most simple method to unlock your S750 handset.

In the event that the carrier who locked the S750 phone agrees and supplies you with the code to unlock your S750 then is totally acceptable all of which will not impact your warranty. If however you unlock the S750 by any other technique you will completely void the warranty and invalid any upcoming the help of the service provider or manufacture.
PUK is short for Personal unblocking Code. You should enter it should you have inserted your personal pin code incorrect. This acts as a security feature on your Lenovo S750 phone.

When I first started writing, I had a lonely blog and I didn’t even know what a widget was or what an HTML code meant. I would not have been able to start writing my very first novel if I haven’t accidentally discovered blogging.
Slowly I learned through trial and error how to install widgets and upload pictures. I experimented on enlisting my blogs in search engines which slowly increased my page ranks.
Aside from writing for my various blogs I discovered the joy of sharing whatever I knew through writing sites , I also joined on line forums because I wanted to learn and share whatever culture and concepts we had in this part of the world. These I was able to do by joining multiple sites. Lady luck must have smiled at me because I discovered this amazing website in which I could do all of these activities and enjoy myself.
In this website, you can create your own blogs for free, and with unlimited bandwidth; you can also participate in forums, share your videos, podcasts and upload pictures. You get updated with the international news all over the world. You can participate in surveys or be a member of a particular group. What could be very fruitful is the interaction you can have with helpful members of its dynamic community, gaining friends in the process.
I tell you, it has everything just like in a one- stop- shop. You name it; they have them all in this wonderful website!
I remembered the days when I just enjoyed lurking and commenting at everybody’s blogs and no one could get to me. Thanks to you for twisting my arms into opening a blog, I’ve met and made many friends. LOL.
Thanks also for getting me in on all of your blogging secrets and tips.
Kindly check your e-mail, please.
you really know how to write Jena, I’m proud to be included in the list of your blogger friends.
You have the remarkable writing power but it was buried in some corner and could have been brought before this world much before.
I am happy it is always better late than never.
I am indeed grateful to you that you have virtually dragged me into writing. I will try to do some justice with whatever constraints that I have at the moment.
You’re welcome. I can see into the future. I see a published novelist.
Thanks, I am proud too to be in your list. You’re a survivor!
Glad you were able to drop by. I see your potential that’s why. You’re good at expressing yourself and you have good thoughts to write about too.
Happy blogging to all and cheers. | 2019-04-18T10:26:30 | https://www.jenaisleonline.com/news/writing-blogs-and-forums-all-in-one-amazing-website/ |

Only the collaborative effort of Haymakers for Hope and cancer research facilities, coupled with the support of generous donors like you, will help to deliver cancer a knockout punch. We are committed to raising money and awareness for adult and pediatric cancer care, as we pave new roads toward cures for this disease.

Working with experts in the security field, including the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Jacob Engineering, and Parsons Engineering, B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc.(http://www.bigbooth.com) recently manufactured and delivered a series of bi-level, extreme weather booths to U.S. Canadian border check points. Prior to this recent delivery, similar booths have been delivered to the U.S. Mexican border.
This booth is situated inside a large enclosure where trucks and other vehicles can be inspected thoroughly despite grueling weather. The bi-level booth is unique: it facilitates ground level, visual inspection of vehicles, and gives guards access to upper portions of commercial trucks and containers via an interior stairway leading to an elevated section. Thus, security personnel have a truly a ?top-down? perspective ? a distinct advantage.
When it comes to border security, guard booths and vehicle inspection strategies are a first line of defense. Security personnel, including agents from DHS and CBP, need facilities that allow them to function effectively in harsh climatic conditions, while giving them a physical advantage over potential threats. These security structures and control centers must be fabricated from the best materials, and incorporate correctly-sized HVAC systems for adequate climate management. These booths must be configuration-friendly as they must house monitors, duress buttons, communication and surveillance equipment.
The B.I.G. bi-level units are fully-fabricated and ready to install, they have a high level of ballistics resistance, high-output roof-mounted HVAC systems, backup heat, and heated floor mats for severe winter weather. They also contain an extensive electrical infrastructure. The conduits, junction boxes, and other components support a flexible array of alarm, camera and communication equipment. Pre-wiring makes installation a snap. Punishing environmental conditions are no match for these innovative, bi-level booths.
B.I.G. Enterprises is pleased to add the bi-level, extreme weather booth to its fabrication arsenal. B.I.G. guard shelters meet the exacting demands of regulatory agencies, security directors, and facilities managers.
Since 1963, B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc. of California has engineered and manufactured a comprehensive line of high quality, high-end, prefabricated security and revenue control booths. Their state-of-the-art selection of pre-assembled buildings include guardhouses, cashier booths, portable shelters, and a variety of custom-made kiosks.

Stio Roofing & Construction (http://www.stioroofingandconstruction.com) has been active in the Crookston, Minnesota area, helping with roof repair and replacement after the severe storms and resulting damage the community suffered on July 23 of this year.
Many homeowners need to have their roofs inspected due to the severity of the storms passing through the area, to assess damage that is not always easily seen. The hail, ranging from marble-sized to larger than golf ball-sized, was accompanied by severe winds and heavy rains in the July storm.
Stio Roofing & Construction has a history of community involvement. In August 2007, Stio was selected and volunteered its services on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition project in Minnetonka, MN. An incredible 5,600 square foot, 7-bedroom, 5-bath new home was built for the Swenson-Lee family there in just one week. This project required tremendous coordination and cooperation, and resulted in a great new home for a very deserving family.
Stio is bringing this same care and dedication to the Crookston area, working closely with local vendors including Northern Lumber Company and the Crookston Building Center and assisting homeowners with their insurance claims to ensure they’re treated fairly.
While insurance providers like State Farm have set up temporary offices in the city, homeowners can benefit from the expertise of a contractor who has experience in working with the insurance companies. Stio Roofing & Construction is helping Crookston homeowners by performing free, thorough inspections of the homeowner’s roof. Then, Stio is working alongside the homeowner or directly with their insurance company to negotiate the claim.
Stio Roofing & Construction has built its stellar reputation in the industry by its overall excellence and customer satisfaction. Stio’s customers give the company consistently high marks in quality, reliability, cost, and overall satisfaction. The company uses the finest materials and provides the highest level of service and workmanship to ensure each roof will protect and add to the value of that home for years to come. Stio provides a written guarantee for the work they perform.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is an award-winning reality television series that changes the lives of deserving families in need. BidForMaterials.com is proud to be apart of this rewarding process, which provides home renovations across the nation for families that have faced some sort of significant hardship.
The Lutz family was surprised at the Yankees versus Mets game on June 20th where it was announced that they would be featured on Extreme Makeover Home Edition. During this first build of the upcoming season, which took place in East Setauket, New York, we saw an unbelievable amount of altruism from construction companies across Long Island that led to a successful completion of a new home.
Alure Home Improvements was selected an 8th time as the contractor in charge of the build. Prior to the build, BidForMaterials.com received a material list from Alure with materials that were in need through donation. The registered suppliers in the BidForMaterials.com network were notified of the opportunity to help a family in need. As a registered supplier you have access to the material lists, which included everything from HVAC supplies to roof supplies.
The amount of companies that volunteered was truly inspiring. As a result, BidForMaterials.com acquired donations in the areas of sanitary systems, aggregates, plumbing, granite slabs, porcelain tiles, electric, lumber and landscape lighting for the Lutz family’s new home.
With the building of the house finished and the Lutz family moved in, Extreme Makeover moved on to Baltimore, Maryland, with construction of the local Boys Hope Girls Hope Chapter. BidForMaterials.com (http://www.bidformaterials.com) continued with its work in Baltimore, seeking volunteers and materials, and has moved onto the next location in Houston, Texas. This is truly a life-changing experience, not only for the recipients but for volunteers as well. Please visit BidForMaterials.com if you are interested in joining the effort.

Just minutes away from Florida’s busiest airport, an oasis has emerged for sophisticated corporate travelers who demand the sumptuous luxury of a resort, but don’t want to sacrifice the modern conveniences of a business hotel. The Renaissance Orlando Hotel-Airport (http://www.RenaissanceOrlandoAP.com), having recently completed a multi-million dollar top-to-bottom renovation, provides both – fusing lavish yet sleek furnishings with the newest technologies, allowing guests to escape when they need to, but connect when they have to.
Renovations to the nine-story, 297-room property have already been recognized with Marriott International’s 2007 “Best Renovation of a Renaissance Hotel” and are highlighted by completely redesigned common areas, meeting space and accommodations. These spaces combine contemporary elegance and priceless works of art brushed with bold colors and the modern conveniences business travelers demand to create a stylish and sophisticated ambiance. | 2019-04-20T19:07:31 | http://orlando-roofing-companies-roofing-orlando-fl-roofing-contractor.com/tag/extreme/ |

My plantar fasciitis was giving me gyp, so the day after the Meesapulimala walk I took the easier, shorter walk option. This went through the tea plantations and villages until we picked up the Jeeps and rode to Top Station, below which we camped. The main group had a long walk, got very wet in a localised downpour, and Lindsey was bitten by a leech!
The next day was warm and dry, the views glorious, but the tents were still wet, so instead of moving to a new campsite as planned, we did a circular route from Top Station, and then stayed in a basic hotel. | 2019-04-23T19:29:58 | https://roddymacleod.wordpress.com/2018/05/09/spice-and-tea-trails-of-kerala-part-4-towards-top-station/ |

With the upcoming April anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the library gallery will feature photographs of deep sea fauna produced as part of the DEEPEND Consortium while the atrium will showcase original art pieces commissioned by the C-IMAGE consortium and the USF College of Marine Sciences. This event will be the opening Reception for this exhibit with speaker discussing the DEEPEND and C-IMAGE research. Featured artists will also be there selling prints of their artwork.
Light refreshments will be served and talks will begin at 5:00pm. This event is open to the public.
Oil Spill Artwork: Three Tampa Bay artists represent the findings of the C-IMAGE consortium through ten original art pieces. Representing ongoing studies into deep-sea oil plumes, sea floor recovery and oil exposure in fishes, the artwork conveys the themes of a two-volume book series synthesizing the variety of Gulf-wide oil spill studies.
Deep-sea fauna: Studying the deep Gulf of Mexico (200-1,500 m), the DEEPEND consortium collected thousands of deep sea animals studying the health and distribution of previously unstudied waters. Professional photographer Danté Fenolio captures the beauty and intricacies in both newly discovered species and more common species of deep-sea nekton. | 2019-04-26T02:29:34 | https://calendar.lib.usfsp.edu/event/5249051 |

Great amazing things here. I am very happy to peer your post. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?
Excelente materia isso que é motivação.
I want to show my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of this trouble. Just after exploring through the internet and finding concepts that were not helpful, I figured my life was done. Living minus the strategies to the difficulties you've fixed through your main guide is a critical case, as well as the ones that could have adversely affected my career if I hadn't come across your web page. Your main knowledge and kindness in handling all the details was precious. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't come upon such a thing like this. I can now relish my future. Thank you very much for your skilled and amazing help. I won't be reluctant to recommend the blog to any individual who should have recommendations about this topic. | 2019-04-21T22:50:19 | http://noraba.net/bbs/board.php?bo_table=best&wr_id=84454 |
The Silhouette Coefficient is used when the ground-truth about the dataset is unknown and computes the density of clusters computed by the model. The score is computed by averaging the silhouette coefficient for each sample, computed as the difference between the average intra-cluster distance and the mean nearest-cluster distance for each sample, normalized by the maximum value. This produces a score between 1 and -1, where 1 is highly dense clusters and -1 is completely incorrect clustering.
The Silhouette Visualizer displays the silhouette coefficient for each sample on a per-cluster basis, visualizing which clusters are dense and which are not. This is particularly useful for determining cluster imbalance, or for selecting a value for \(K\) by comparing multiple visualizers.
Implements visualizers that use the silhouette metric for cluster evaluation.
The Silhouette Visualizer displays the silhouette coefficient for each sample on a per-cluster basis, visually evaluating the density and separation between clusters. The score is calculated by averaging the silhouette coefficient for each sample, computed as the difference between the average intra-cluster distance and the mean nearest-cluster distance for each sample, normalized by the maximum value. This produces a score between -1 and +1, where scores near +1 indicate high separation and scores near -1 indicate that the samples may have been assigned to the wrong cluster.
In SilhouetteVisualizer plots, clusters with higher scores have wider silhouettes, but clusters that are less cohesive will fall short of the average score across all clusters, which is plotted as a vertical dotted red line.

Environmental engineers provide the knowledge, leadership and guidance needed to improve the quality of the natural world and ensure its sustainability.
From the water we drink and the air we breathe, to the soil that produces our life-sustaining vegetation, environmental engineers play a major, and increasingly proactive, role in today's society. As an environmental engineer, you investigate the prevention and control of pollution of all kinds in efforts to deal with global climate change.
As an environmental engineering student at Clarkson, you learn how to develop and implement technologies to solve problems such as meeting clean water supply needs and protecting public health. Other areas of interest and study you will focus on include addressing the issues of acid rain, global warming, and reducing pollution, all while maintaining or improving the quality of life we enjoy.
When I was considering colleges, it was a choice between two schools — Clarkson and RIT. It seemed like a simple decision, since RIT was so close to home. However, after a strong recommendation from my AP chemistry teacher, I visited Clarkson, and I am so glad I did! I guess what decided it for me was a combination of extremely dedicated professors, financial aid and the charm of a small college town in rural New York, where the winters feel like absolute zero.
Looking to take your education a step further? Check out our list of minors and concentrations to complement your environmental engineering degree.
Internships and co-op opportunities at Clarkson are wide-ranging for environmental engineers. You can pursue an internship or co-op within your field of interest. Below is a list of organizations at which students like you have interned.

Origin Energy Limited today announced that its transaction with ConocoPhillips to form Australia Pacific LNG, a 50:50 CSG to LNG joint venture, has been completed and that the Origin Group has received an upfront payment of US$5 billion from ConocoPhillips.
Origin advised in a release to the ASX on 13 October 2008 that it had agreed to share the benefit of any depreciation in the AUD/USD exchange rate between 8 September 2008, the date when this transaction was first announced to the ASX and the date of completion with ConocoPhillips. As a result of these arrangements the upfront payment of US$5 billion has converted to A$6.9 billion for the Origin Group.
Origin’s Managing Director, Mr Grant King said “This is a company transforming transaction. Origin will become, in its joint venture with ConocoPhillips, the largest CSG to LNG producer in Australia. Our unparalleled Queensland CSG resources will now be developed more quickly and the resultant LNG will have viable channels to global markets.
“Origin now has no net interest bearing debt and a significant cash balance. This strong financial position will facilitate a decade of growth for Origin in the dynamic and developing resource and energy sectors”.
Australia Pacific LNG intends to develop Australia’s largest CSG reserves base into a 14 million tonne per annum CSG to LNG project. The project will deliver an additional Australian LNG hub, serving Asia-Pacific and other international markets.
Final Investment Decision for Train 1 is expected at the end of 2010 and Australia Pacific LNG is targeting first LNG production in 2014.
Origin’s Managing Director, Mr Grant King said “The establishment of Australia Pacific LNG marks the commencement of a fully aligned and financially strong joint venture that leverages the strengths and capabilities of Origin and ConocoPhillips to develop a CSG to LNG project.
“Australia Pacific LNG brings together Origin’s 10 and ConocoPhillips’ 25 years of CSG experience and, through ConocoPhillips, access to 40 years of experience in operating and developing LNG facilities”.
Origin today issued a separate release detailing its capital management activities following completion of the transaction with ConocoPhillips. | 2019-04-18T18:28:02 | https://gulfoilandgas.com/webpro1/main/mainnews.asp?id=6665 |

Note: Before setting your hinges, if there is more than one, check them over to ensure there are no major discrepancies in sizing between the two. Whereas some hinges are made to tight tolerances, some are not, in which case the recesses must be customised to each specific hinge flap to guarantee a good fit. The majority of hinges are used in pairs and sometimes with three, very rarely do we use one hinge alone.
Place your wood in the vise and put the the hinge in the desired position, using the knuckle of the hinge butted up against the component you are hinging first (it is generally easier to hinge the lighter component first).
Use your knife to mark lightly at both ends of the hinge. Make a second, heavier pass using a square to deepen the knifewall.
Make a knife nick on the edge marking both ends of the hinge.
Mark the long edge of the hinge using a knife.
Set the gauge to the width of the hinge flap. Notice that one end of the flap is wrapped around the knuckle pin, so make sure you measure the one that is an open slit, this will be the smaller width (see picture). Use this setting to mark out the long edge of the hinge, this can be used for the second hinge as you can assume they are the same size.
Set the pin on a gauge to just under half the thickness of the knuckle of the hinge, use this to mark the depth of the hinge recess on the edge of your component.
Use a chisel to remove the excess material. Start off with a step down using the chisel, subsequent chops can be angled as you work along the recess away from the knifewall. Work across the full length of the recess, being careful to stop short of the full depth. The closer you are to the line, the less you will have to pare down the recess. Notice that the bevel of the chisel travels in the direction you are chopping. Be careful not to go past the long knifewall/gauge line. Depending on the size of your chisel, this may mean that your chisel isn’t fully registered onto the wood.
With the chop cuts completed, flick away the waste material if it is loose however don’t force it as you could split the wood if it is still attached. Use a larger chisel to pare-cut the waste material.
Next, use perpendicular cuts along the back and side edges of the recess to square up the recess and also clean out any waste from the internal corners to ensure the hinge recesses fully. Start with the cut slightly away from the knifewall, then place the chisel on the knifewall.
Use a square awl to position the screw holes, start the holes slightly off center towards the back of the hinge recess. This makes sure that the hinge is pushed up against the back of the recess when the screws are driven in. This only needs to be slightly off-centre, if you position them too far to the back of the hole then it will be difficult to screw them in and you might end up screwing into the edge of the hinge hole.
To avoid splitting, it’s always best to use the awl to make pilot holes for the screws, use this to create a starter hole for the thread to bite into. If using brass screws, dip them in furniture wax to help lubricate them, which will make them easier to screw in and will also reduce the risk of them snapping off. Occasionally a screw will snap, if this happens, use a small twist drill bit to drill into the broken part.
If you are still struggling, use a steel screw in the holes first as they are more robust, make sure they are the same size as your brass screws.
Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws and ensure all the slots in the screw heads are facing the same way for aesthetics.
Once the hinges are positioned in the lid or door, align the hinged component in position and use a knife to mark the exact position of both hinges on the outside edge then use the hinges to mark the hinge recess exactly as you did on the lighter component.

Visa has been working on a DLT platform for the past 2 years called Visa B2B Connect.
VISA currently has a partnership with IBM who have a project with the firm Chain.com recently acquired by Stellar and their holdings.
Does this mean Stellar or their Proprietary Software will lead to a renewed Value Growth for the Coin.
The older Generational coins have not had a successful Year. Fortunately, their recent M&A and Growth Strategies have enabled them to set up a successful new few years – NEM & Stellar.
InterStellar, the for-profit organisation created to promote Stellar acquired Chain.com 3 Months ago. This strategical acquisition has enabled InterStellar and therefore XLM to takeover any partnerships that Chain.com have. More recently the partnership between VISA and IBM whom were working on the Hyper-ledger Fabric and B2BConnect to integrate with “Visa Core Assets”.
Visa, an early stage investor in Chain.com has not responded to requests for Comments on How they will use XLM and if they even do so.
Nonetheless, the stated “added functionality” will offer an alternative to the correspondent banking system. Visa imagine a new system for payments in verticals with supply chain, trade and institutional banking.
B2B Connect also will use a digital identify token for organisations that include banking information, this could make use of the XLM platform and their corresponding Exchange.
What does the Technical Analysis Say about XLM?
Stellar has very low volume – this could illustrate that there is accumulation going on – Reminds the Nouvive team of XRP that was stuck between 2 ranges of $0.20-$0.24 before popping 100% to $0.71.
The 1D HTF hints at a dump towards $0.20 – this is an excellent entry for Long-Term investors.
Short-term XLM looks primed for a dump to $0.22 where there is a volume gap to be filled.
Probabilisticly speaking there is a 89% chance of a fall to $0.22, before XLM can pass the resistance of $0.32 and reach our take profit levels of $0.49.
A prudent investor should enter XLM from between $0.20-$0.22 before taking profit above $0.49. | 2019-04-25T04:08:45 | https://nouvive.com/2018/10/22/xlm-partnership-with-ibm-visa-price-prediction/ |

Steven had acknowledged the long distance we traveled, Just pour me my coffee hand me my crochet and slowly back away shirt.
Steven had acknowledged the long distance we traveled, Just pour me my coffee hand me my crochet and slowly back away shirt, and our promise to carry their remarkable stories with us. I think about his words a lot, but yesterday I thought of them constantly. Around ten o’clock am, my younger daughter received positive news about the x-ray on her spine that she had been anxious about for six months. She was so relieved that her eyes filled with tears. Mine did too, and after I dropped her off at school, I let them go. After sitting in the parking lot in quiet reflection, I came to this page. I was astounded by the comments you left on yesterday’s post, expressing great care for my daughter’s health and wellbeing.
It is a miracle to have someone who Just pour me my coffee hand me my crochet and slowly back away shirt. Steven’s words repeated in my mind, and I felt them in my soul. And then I opened a message from a blog reader. The timing was remarkable. Each day the teacher selected two of the most popular girls as captains and let them choose their teammates one by one. Seeing the pain, rejection, and stress this caused her classmates, this young lady decided to do something about it. I wanted to write you because I have noticed that when the two captains pick teams. I ask you to change the method of picking teams, so no one has to feel bad in a mandatory gym class some may not already like. | 2019-04-20T06:11:16 | https://t-shirtat.com/shop/just-pour-coffee-hand-crochet-slowly-back-away-shirt/ |

The first two years of medical school are designated as the Basic Science curriculum. The Year 1 program is primarily devoted to understanding normal structure and function. This will involve acquiring basic information, but, more importantly, it will also involve understanding concepts and relationships. The lecture is one important method we have to help you learn. It is used to define part of what you are expected to know. It should be supplemented and reinforced by reading your assigned text readings, lecture notes, conferring with faculty and fellow students, and participating in the laboratories, computer assisted and problem solving sessions, and use of the web-based resources.
The Year 2 program is primarily devoted to understanding the effect of disease processes on organ structure and function and the actions of drugs. In the course of achieving this objective the curriculum is designed to help the student prepare for their role as a problem solver. This will involve acquiring basic information, but, more importantly, it will also involve understanding concepts and relationships.
A clinical medical course runs through both years, integrating many smaller courses such as: Introduction to the Patient, Evidence-Based Medicine, Medical Ethics, Human Sexuality, Preventive Medicine, Public Health Interviewing and Physical Diagnosis into a sequence of case-based teaching modules taught in small groups.
Schedule will vary based on group assignment. | 2019-04-20T02:30:01 | http://somtechdev.med.wayne.edu/ume-assessment-medical-education-research/curriculum-mapping/ |

Of the roughly $9 million UB Athletics collects from a student athletic fee, 92 percent goes toward servicing the Division I varsity programs and its 535 student-athletes, and just 8 percent goes toward servicing the recreation services available to all 30,000 students.
Marcus Hutchins, who worked for UB recreation for 16 years, recently visited SUNY College at Brockport’s $44 million, 138,000-square-foot student recreation center and had one thought: How can UB not have this?
The center opened in 2012 and includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, weight room, 200-meter running track and courts for basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis and soccer.
UB – unlike some of its fellow SUNY schools and all of its athletic conference rivals – has no standalone recreation center for its 30,000 students. Instead, the university crams the majority of its recreation services, like fitness and intramural sports, into Alumni Arena, which also houses its Division I varsity programs, and into Clark Hall, a nearly 80-year-old rec building on South Campus.
UB is one of a fraction of universities that does not separate its Division I athletics program and its on-campus recreation into two departments, and lets the athletics department decide how much of the $9 million student athletic fee goes toward D-I athletics and how much goes toward recreation programs. UB does not have a recreation fee.
This past year, the breakdown was simple: 92 percent of the student fee went to the D-I athletics programs, while 8 percent went to recreation services, according to UB’s comprehensive fee website and the athletic department’s 2014-15 athletic fee expenditures.
The money breaks down like this: Recreation services, which are available for all 30,000 students, got $712,069, or $23 per student. The D-I athletics programs, which have 535 student-athletes, got roughly $8.4 million, or $15,700 per player. The football program alone received $1,130,140 from student fees.
And while last school year the athletic department had a $32.1 million budget, which was close to 70 percent subsidized by student fees and direct university support, recreation and intramurals operated with just a $1.8 million budget.
Students insist the numbers tell the story. Clearly, they say, recreation is not a priority for UB Athletics, which has pushed to improve the national exposure of its 20 Division I varsity sports.
UB Athletic Director Allen Greene admits UB’s recreation facilities are inadequate and less sophisticated than those at other SUNY schools. He also acknowledges UB needs a standalone student recreation center. But he insists UB Athletics has done what it can to fund recreation with the lowest athletic fee among the four SUNY university centers and without a standalone rec fee.
Students say the current athletics and recreation model simply doesn’t work. They say there’s not enough fitness equipment and space for students looking for a workout, nor enough courts and fields to accommodate UB’s 32 club teams and 19 intramural sport leagues. They say UB’s main recreational field, Kunz Stadium, has an inadequate turf that is patched with duct tape and leads to dozens of ankle sprains.
Club teams also question the athletics department’s policy of charging additional usage fees when every undergraduate already pays the athletic fee of $267.25 per semester. Athletics charges clubs $54 for an hour in the pool and will implement new fees next year for teams hosting games and tournaments on athletics-owned fields.
Students have begun to push back.
The executive board of the Student Association, UB’s student government that funds 32 sport club teams, has formally proposed that UB separate recreation services from UB Athletics and house it under Student Affairs, as most universities do.
The board proposes a lowered $240.35 athletic fee, and a new $158 recreation fee that it said would allow Student Affairs to build a standalone recreation facility on campus while also improving existing facilities. UB is in talks with SUNY to split the fee, and the SUNY Chancellor will make a final decision this summer.
UB’s recreation dilemma highlights the burden heavily subsidized college athletics can have on other areas of campuses like student recreation, and shows the conflict that can come about when a Division I athletic department has to directly compete for funding and space with student recreation.
Even if SUNY approves the creation of a UB recreation fee, which many expect it to, recreation will still be under the control of athletics. SA President Minahil Khan, who worked with her fellow board members Sean Kaczmarek and Joe Pace to propose a split fee, worries this model will never work, as UB Athletics will always have to prioritize athletics over recreation. She questions why UB, considered the flagship of SUNY, is unable to have adequate recreation for its students.
Students say recreation is a major part of the university experience and adequate recreation services should come standard with a tuition bill.
A 2013 survey of more than 33,000 college students conducted by NIRSA, formerly known as the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, found that 75 percent of college students use their on-campus recreational facilities, programs and services.
The study found benefits, with high percentages of students saying recreation improved things like their personal well-being, stress management and concentration.
It also found that recreation impacted student recruiting and retention, with 68 percent of students saying a campuses’ recreational facility influenced their decision of where to attend college, and 74 percent saying it influenced their decisions to continue attending that college.
Some universities have taken notice.
Stony Brook, a SUNY university center like UB, spent $37.5 million in 2012 to create an 85,000-square-foot recreation center. UB’s fellow Mid-American Conference universities have also invested in their recreational facilities, with Ball State opening a $40 million rec center in 2010 and Bowling Green spending $14.8 million to upgrade its rec center in 2014.
And students have proven they’d be willing to pay for such a facility at UB.
UB worked with a consultant to determine student support for a standalone recreation center in 2002 and 2013 – with 72 percent of students in the latest survey saying they’d pay a $129 to $165 recreation fee per semester to fund recreational enhancements at UB.
“If I’m going to college already and I’m taking out loans to go here, if I have to pay another $150 a semester for recreation, granted I’m biased because I use recreation, people aren’t even going to notice that,” said John Grasso, a junior engineering major and member of UB’s men’s rugby club team.
UB has made some improvements to Clark Hall in recent years, like renovations to its pool and bringing in new equipment for its fitness center, as well as opening a team store in Alumni Arena to generate recreation revenue. But students say minor fixes are not enough.
They say a standalone recreation center is needed. So, if students want and are willing to pay for a recreation facility, why hasn’t it happened yet?
The UB men’s rugby club team does more than what some might expect a club to do.
Two years ago the team moved into the Rugby East Conference of DI-A College Rugby, and plays against varsity programs like Army West Point and Wheeling Jesuit.
SA sports club teams, like men’s rugby and lacrosse that play at the national level, say they’re held back by the state of recreation on campus. The tension was visible, audible and all in one room back in February, as approximately 70 students, mostly SA sport club members, expressed their frustrations with a panel of four athletics administrators in an open forum.
One of students’ main complaints was the lack of space in Alumni Arena, as clubs, intramurals, varsity teams – and sometimes even the basketball teams’ opponents – vie for space in Alumni Arena’s main court and Triple Gym. In Alumni Arena’s main gym, clubs and intramurals must practice on the floor space surrounding the court, as they’re not allowed on the men’s and women’s basketball team’s court.
The men’s lacrosse club said lack of practice time and practice time being moved around by athletics directly affected their preparation and performance this season.
When it comes to UB’s two turf fields, students have major issues with one – Kunz Stadium, which they say has turf that is inadequate and sometimes, unsafe. UB’s other turf field is the football team’s in UB Stadium.
UB Athletics funded a patch up of Kunz’s turf, but students say it hasn't been enough. Truesdell said she’s seen 30 to 40 student ankle sprains on the turf during her two years in SA, and that the problem became so bad she almost began emailing former UB Athletic Director Danny White every time there was an injury.
“Ankle sprains left and right,” Truesdell said.
UB Athletics spent $1 million to redo its football stadium field turf after it was damaged by a winter storm in 2014.
Clubs are also worried about additional fees. UB Athletics charged the water polo club $54 an hour to use the Alumni Arena pool outside of the normal rec swim time,as well as the $30 an hour it must pay for lifeguards. Despite student push back, those fees will increase next year, as the rate will go up to $112 an hour.
“Which is really high for trying to play a game for an hour,” said Ben Harper, president of the water polo club and a junior aerospace engineering major.
A UB Athletics spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Spectrum’s inquires about what those rates would be.
SA funds all of its 130-plus student clubs through a mandatory student activity fee of $104.75 a semester. Sport clubs’ budgets can range from high as men’s rugby’s $18,000 budget, to the swimming club’s $700 budget, depending on the club’s need, participation and status.
Khan said SA pays for clubs’ trainers and insurance through its main $4 million budget line, so the majority of teams’ budgets go to paying league fees and coaching salaries. Most clubs need their members to pay team dues to cover all costs.
She said additional fees for hosting games and tournaments would seriously threaten clubs’ ability to do so, and that UB should want its sport clubs to host tournaments with other schools because it brings recognition.
Concerning the fees, Greene said students have to remember there are maintenance costs, and that any revenue generated through recreation is put back into recreation.
Does ‘big-time’ athletics conflict with recreation?
UB has competed in Division I of the NCAA since the early 90s. The football program reached Division I-AA status in 1993 and reached Football Bowl Subdivision, or Division I-A, in 1999. It was during this build-up that recreation became, according to one former UB recreation employee who asked to not be named, “the stepchild” of athletics in terms of adequate funding.
Division I athletics administrators have to focus on their program, on selling tickets, on NCAA compliance, on generating exposure and above all, on winning. Hence, they automatically care less about providing top-notch recreation.
Hutchins said it’s up to university administrators to tell UB Athletics that recreation is a key part of its operation. Perhaps, he suggested, the university should decide how much of the student athletic fee goes toward recreation. He doesn’t think UB administrators have told athletics not to worry about recreation, but, he said, it’s clear that no one in Capen Hall has insisted that recreation be prioritized as much as athletics.
Several former UB recreation employees who spoke with The Spectrum said they had hoped UB would bring in someone with a recreation and physical education background when hiring its last two athletic directors. Both Greene and his predecessor Danny White had backgrounds mostly in college athletics and fundraising.
“And a major part of this investment is student-athlete scholarships,” Tripathi said.
UB Athletics spent $8,364,393 on student athletic aid for the 397 student-athletes receiving some kind of aid, according to its 2014-15 budget, which The Spectrum obtained via a Freedom of Information Law request. The athletics department used $2,944,794 of student athletic fee toward grant-in-aid, according to its fee expenditures.
UB Athletics has worked hard to be “big-time” these past few years.
White, who left UB in November to become the University of Central Florida’s athletic director, introduced the “New York Bulls Initiative” or NYBI in 2013 to, as he and the department put it, make UB “America’s next big-time college athletic brand.” UB announced the end of NYBI marketing last month and unveiled branding that more closely aligns with a new university-wide branding initiative.
When asked how much the NYBI branding, both implementing and undoing, would cost UB Athletics, Greene said the branding fit right into money already allocated in the budget every year for new fields, courts and jerseys. USA Today reported that some schools use private organizations to fund large-scale branding. UB disclosed documents to USA Today that the UB Foundation, its private foundation that handles millions of dollars in donations, spent more than $142,000 on men’s basketball graphics and Alumni Arena’s new hall of fame wall.
UB Athletics had five team MAC championships the past two seasons during the movement, including the men’s basketball team’s back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.
University and athletics administrators like Tripathi and Greene – and pretty much all supporters of college athletics – stress that college athletics bring more attention to the academic aspects of the university, enhance the student experience and bring alumni together.
Yet for programs like UB outside of the Power 5, the richest athletic conferences in the country, striving for “big-time” college athletics comes with a “big-time” subsidy.
UB was second-most subsidized program by percentage (77 percent) in the 12-team MAC from 2010-14, according to data collected by The Huffington Post and The Chronicle of Higher Education. The data looked at 201 public universities that collectively spent more than $10 billion on Division I athletics. UB also received the second-most subsidies in the MAC during that time with $110,591,193. Only Eastern Michigan received more.
UB ranked just ninth, however, in both the amount of money it collected from student fees and the percentage of its budget subsidized by student fees.
About 68 percent – or $22.2 million of UB Athletics’ $32.1 million in revenue came from student fees and direct institutional support from the university, according to the department’s 2014-15 budget. Without student fees and direct institutional support, UB Athletics would have had a loss of $21,946,091 last school year.
John Affleck, the Knight Chair in Sports Journalism and Society at Penn State who worked for the Associated Press for 22 years, said the universities that don’t rely on subsidies are “the Michigans, the Ohio States, the Penn States of the world” that have large TV contracts and ticket sales. According to its budget, UB Athletics made just $1.1 million in ticket sales and $142,500 in media rights, although TV revenue for MAC schools is expected to increase after a new deal with ESPN last year.
“Those are the areas UB isn’t making the kind of money that it needs to make to be self-sustaining,” Affleck said.
The 11 other universities in the MAC, however, all have a standalone recreational facility. Some of the MAC school’s rec centers feature amenities like rock walls, lazy rivers and golf simulators in addition to the traditional amenities like weight rooms and basketball courts.
Other MAC schools have this despite making limited revenue and relying heavily on subsidies. Ten of the 12 programs were at least 69 percent subsidized, according to The Huffington Post and The Chronicle of Higher Education data.
The difference between UB and its 11 conference rivals?
The split between recreation and athletics.
UB is the only MAC program responsible for overseeing its on-campus recreation services. Most universities, like the rest of the MAC, house their recreation services under a department like Student Affairs.
Where does student fee money actually go?
What does the roughly $700,000 of athletic fee money that goes into recreation actually pay for? Mostly student employees.
Ninety-three percent of fee money allocated for recreation pays student personnel like gym monitors, lifeguards, intramural referees and team store employees, according to UB Athletics’ 2014-15 fee expenditures.
The other seven percent, or $45,151, was spent on equipment. No student fee money went toward facility maintenance.
UB students’ money mostly goes toward funding the football team.
Football received $1,130,140 in student fee money last year – the most of any varsity team. That accounted for 15 percent of the team’s budget. Women’s basketball was second with $816,540.
The football program spent the most of any UB team by breaking even with a budget of $7.2 million last year. But nearly 80 percent, or $5.7 million, of its budget came from student fees and direct institutional support from the university. Without support from the university and student fees, the team would have had a deficit of $5.7 million last reporting year.
The team has also historically struggled. Since entering Division I-A in 1999, the football team has had just two winning seasons, including a MAC Championship in 2008.
Although football got the most student money, women’s teams were funded with student fees double that of the men’s teams. The women received $4.8 million compared to men’s $2.4 million. Another $1.1 million of student fees were not designated to any specific team.
Rec center or field house?
In 2014, UB contracted Brailsford and Dunlavey, the same project management firm that consulted on the 2002 survey, to tour current recreational facilities, conduct student focus groups and develop a financial model for improving recreation on campus.
The firm recommended that UB build a $80-million 265,000-square-foot student recreation center on North Campus, spend $16.4 million on renovating Clark Hall and build four outdoor recreation fields. There were also several options as to how those projects would come about, whether through UB or private construction.
It is unclear how, if at all, a standalone recreation center would fit in with UB Athletics’ plan to build a new indoor field house.
UB Athletics has been pushing to build such a facility for the past few years, as it is the only team in the MAC without one. Not having a field house puts its football program at a major disadvantage during the cold winter months, as it must practice outside in UB Stadium or make a nearly half-hour commute to the Buffalo Bills’ field house.
When UB Athletics released its “Facilities Master Plan,” in February of 2014, it included plans for an on-campus field house, tennis center, baseball diamond and field for the soccer programs. It did not include any design for a student recreation center.
Greene said a field house and recreation center should be separate facilities, as he doesn’t know of any sophisticated models that hold both, but that a field house would also help club and intramurals sports, not just the outdoor D-I programs.
Greene said UB Athletics will soon submit a Request For Proposal so a few selected architects can submit their proposal of what a North Campus field house would look like. Greene would not disclose how much money UB Athletics currently has for the project, only saying the department still has money to raise.
UB maintains its commitment to Division I athletics - including football. In recent weeks, students and faculty at Eastern Michigan released a report suggesting the school should drop football and move to a conference that does not require it.
Khan, who will graduate this semester, said she hopes to be able return to campus as an alumna and see a standalone recreation center.
