As a preteen I wished that all humans would disappear from the planet and the beauty of nature would be left to flourish unhindered. I imagined I would be offered a big red button and I could annihilate the human race with a push (a spectacular technological feat at that, as it would not have any other effect on our planet). I knew which would have been the Right choice. The clear separation of ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ or ‘man-made’ and their difference in value were obvious to me. Around that time, my favourite place on earth was my grandparent’s cottage in the Finnish countryside, or more specifically, the biggest bird cherry tree I have ever known that grew in my grandmother’s forest. With five sizeable trunks the amicable tree covered a house-sized portion of the slope, and served as a climbing course, swinging rope station, and favourite hangout for all the grand-children. Until one devastating spring, when I arrived to find the tree under full-scale attack by bird-cherry ermine caterpillars. For anyone unfamiliar with these moths – as I was – this is how Wikipedia describes what they can do: Because the caterpillars make an extensive weblike nest, they can eat a whole tree bare unhindered But these simple words “extensive weblike nest” miserably fail to convey the real life impression of this nightmarish scene. By now, I’ve seen whole glades of bird cherries that stand out against the greens of the forests, cocooned in their ghostly caterpillar housing. I have even read about a whole graveyard resembling a scene from a horror movie thanks to the bird-cherry ermine. That’s what this beloved place had become – a graveyard for a part of my childhood. I entered a state of martial law. Something had to be done. I was about to try and draw hundreds of meters of garden hose through the forest to spray the tree clean of the pesky little creepers before my grandpa stopped me with that look that physicians have when they break news to terminal patients. I dragged one little bucket of water to the tree before I realised the futility of the splash it made on the base of one of the trunks. In no exaggerated words, there was a burial march singing in my soul as I saw the leafless canopy draped in a web of death, and the white and yellow creepers wriggling along on the silk-covered trunks, teeming in voluminous hanging pouches of concentrated caterpillar flesh. Our tree never recovered from that attack. In a few years time all of its five formidable trunks, each named and well loved (Hen, Rooster, and Chick branches in particular) lay on the ground rotting. This phenomenon among others helped me understand that I had perhaps put the wonders of nature on a somewhat too narrow a pedestal. Nature wasn’t solely a thing of utopian beauty. Attaching a holy-like aura to its (humanless) manifestations was perhaps a tad simplified way at looking at things. At times nature could also be a silver-webbed harbinger of armageddon. It took me a while to continue developing a complicated appreciation of humanity as well as of nature, and to realise that ‘nature’ in fact made little distinctions between humans, pathogens, rainbows, machines, rocks, primal slime, snakes, rhinos, or soil – we were all just different contributors to the myriad manifestations of matter in the natural world. Certainly I acknowledge that there is something special in the way that some of that matter has picked up the quirk of self-replication, and something worrisome in that, in our time, the intricate relationships within the networks of self-replicating organisms are becoming unbalanced. Our very successful group of human organisms is getting so numerous and impactful that it is causing problems for many of the other self-replicators. “We cause problems to other organisms” – this expression includes such a subtle human aspect of thinking that I had never even thought of questioning it. Ecosystems are in trouble. Right? Plants don’t have problems, my biology teacher once told me in elementary school, and it gave me pause. Let me elaborate: it is not a problem for the plant to be eaten, ripped up by the roots, or even to disappear as a species, any more than it is a problem for it not to have any disturbances at all. The plant simply responds in different ways to different circumstances. It is still here thanks to some serendipitous changes that have allowed it to react to many circumstances in a way that still allows it and its seeds to grow and multiply. Not managing that feat was not problematic for those plants that didn’t, and in result died out. Not a problem. I’m happy that we now have the means to help these plants survive. Meme: March Against Myths About Modification Having a problem in the first place is a human concept. We assign a purpose to the plant – assert that it wants to grow and proliferate. We value the plant for its own sake, because, well, we like things to be green and flourishing. We will view something that comes in the way of that purpose as being problematic. Plants themselves assign no such attributes. This is a part of the beauty in us humans. A plant would not ‘object’ to its own destruction, not even wiping all of its kind from the face of the earth. I would. That is sentimental of me. I like to hang on to that sentiment, because I value our human characteristic of valuing nature. Ecosystems, strictly speaking, are not in trouble. They just are in one state or another. If something happens that disturbs the conditions that help sustain them, they may collapse. Species and biological eras come and go. Nobody protests. Most organisms don’t have a problem with that. But now that we are here, when an ecosystem may collapse, we have a problem with that. For myriad reasons, we care. So I did find something valuable about humans after all. I overcame my radical environmentalist nihilism. At the same time, I have by no means stopped appreciating nature. I feel a dread when I fly over Europe and realise how little wilderness there is left. I still think a forest is the best place for a person to be. I’d also like my children to grow up knowing that there are still tigers and rhinos and polar bears in their natural habitats somewhere on this earth. As fascinating an aspect as humans are of nature, I’m hoping we won’t eat up all the other flora and fauna on our way. This is why it is important to me to make thoughtful choices in the way I live. This also includes the efforts I put into communicating what I’ve learned about the environmental aspects in areas such as farming and energy production. Pretty early along the way, my love of nature got married to my wish to understand, and a passion for science was the fruit of that union. Why science? Put bluntly, science is the effort of sincerely wanting to find something out, combined with the humility of insight about our cognitive failings – like bias, jumping to conclusions, and cherry-picking (Am I biased? Are you?) – that is to say, the ease with which we can fool ourselves. Science weeds out what we actually can know about the world, and helps us appreciate how amazing the stuff is that we necessarily didn’t even know was going on in nature. Many humans care deeply for the environment, and I really appreciate that sentiment. In order for us to have the impact on the world that we would like to have, we also need knowledge. To focus the discussion on actual issues, not idealised ones, it is important to put our feelings through some thoughtful reflection. Feelings have been pretty useful to us in the course of our evolution. They have helped us be wary of anything new and different, to take the conservative choice just to be sure. Then there’s the feeling that’s helped define our species in so many ways – curiosity. Science puts both of these in good use: it applies open curiosity to how the world works in order to overcome our preconceived notions, and is wary of anything new until it has been tested, re-tested, and tested again to eliminate bias and make sure we really aren’t fooling ourselves about it. Want to help maintain biodiversity? Save the whales? Feed the hungry? The starting point is evidence. A good starting point is: ‘this study says one thing, another says another thing – how could we best understand the evidence?’ It is vital to put in perspective what weight different kinds of evidence carry (for more on evidence see the hierarchy of evidence or what I’ve written about it here). Image from MStrust. For more read The Vox The one chart you need to understand any health study. We should look at the big picture, evaluate the evidence in context of the body of scientific literature, at the scope of all the the reviews and meta-analyses. We should make it clear to ourselves what part of our thinking is about our values, and what part is evidence. Sometimes people may be afraid that evidence would somehow negate their values. I wish they weren’t. Our values are more robust than that. Faced with the undeniable evidence of thousands of crawling bird-cherry ermine caterpillars destroying my tree, I did not stop valuing nature. I just gained a more nuanced understanding of its nature. Science has made me change my mind on a number of occasions, and my values have only become better defined, not dictated by vague fears or attached to simple labels. I used to buy organic because I wanted to support environmentally friendly farming. Later on I found out that, while it may be a Natural Assumption to make, unfortunately the idea organic as the champion of the environment falls flat under scrutiny. My heart is still heavily set on fighting for the wellbeing on nature and animals. Hopefully, now, I can do so with more fruitful results. I always understood genetic engineering was simply a tool, neither good nor bad in itself, but knew it might have some unintended harmful effects. The scientific literature has taught me that it actually comes with several environmental benefits. Let’s get on with those benefits where we can use them to help the land and its animals. I used to think nuclear power was dreadful, but have learned it’s much safer than most people think, and together with wind and solar, it’s a vital part of the solution for cutting carbon emissions. Bring on the new and better technologies to do what we realistically can to slow down global warming. I don’t want grand ideas and ethically superior assertions. I want pragmatic suggestions with evidence of feasibility that can really make a difference. My bird cherry may be dead, but my new favourite place in the world is a state of mind that is open to understanding and compassionate about the world around us, that knows how to apply critical thinking to the important issues we need to deal with. If we don’t value evidence, that may come to undermine all that we do value. For the sake of nature, let’s science it up. If you would like to have a discussion in the comments below, please take note of my Commenting policy. In a nutshell: - Be respectful. - Back up your claims with evidence. Your tree is similar to what Texas cotton farmers faced for a hundred years, watching their fields die of cotton root rot. Three years ago, science brought the cure to this century old battle with nature. Now, with science, the cotton plants don’t die making the land more productive. Yes, let science it up! LikeLiked by 2 people I can only imagine what it must have been like, when it’s not just your favourite place that’s been destroyed, but your entire livelihood! Happy for the farmers and the cotton plants. Pingback: On the Nature of ‘Natural’ \| Thoughtscapism Pingback: Lyrical in Lapland – Biologist Released into the Wilderness \| Thoughtscapism
The urgently eradicate is that the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines aren’t safe or effective despite their approval for use in Australia, Europe and elsewhere. As others have observed this week, the immunisation bungle in Brisbane may, paradoxically, demonstrate the vaccine is indeed “as safe as any vaccine out there”, to quote Nobel Prize-winning immunologist Professor Peter Doherty: people in their 80s and 90s received four times the specified dose and still suffered no adverse reactions. The federal government says it will strongly encourage the public − as opposed to front-line workers who might be subject to different rules − to get the jab rather than compel them to do so. Prime Minister Scott Morrison insists mandatory vaccination is “not the Australian way”. A Melbourne University survey released this week shows about 24 per cent of people around the country are still hesitant about being immunised against coronavirus. The good news here is the rise in vaccine hesitancy appears to have been arrested. The Australian National University’s Centre for Social Research and Methods’ longitudinal study of almost 4000 people had found a “substantial” increase in vaccine resistance and hesitancy between August and January. The authorities are banking on hesitancy falling away more as the vaccinations gather pace, and people see the jab is both safe and effective in stopping serious illness and, as early results suggest, reducing transmission. Prime Minister Scott Morrison receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.Credit:Edwina Pickles Hopefully Morrison rolling up his sleeve last week, while decked out in Aussie flag face mask and associated “ScoMo” branding, will cut through with waverers. As for the hard-core anti-vaxxers, I understand they wasted no time in declaring the PM wasn’t actually injected with Pfizer or any vaccine, the whole spectacle was a hoax, it wasn’t really Morrison behind the Aussie flag face mask but a shape-shifting lizard person controlled by Bill Gates … and hey, I’m playing Choose Your Own Adventure. While the rest of us were sleeping these past years, anti-vaxxers evolved into a complex ecosystem encompassing QAnoners, snake-oil pedlars and gullible consumers in the “wellness” industry. We saw child vaccination rates fall below average in some of the wealthiest suburbs in Melbourne and Sydney. In 2015 a primary school in inner-city Melbourne had a chicken pox outbreak, and a baby in Perth died of whooping cough. The ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods study found three groups were “particularly important” in explaining the decline in vaccine willingness during the pandemic. One of those is Australians who think too much is being made of COVID-19. This is understandable, though not excusable, given our overall success in suppressing the virus. But how to explain the steady rise in vaccine resistance during 2020 in a place such as France where the choice, you’d think, is stark: try your luck with a vaccine or try your luck with a proven killer? (Surveys show COVID-19 vaccine confidence in France has increased this year with the rollout, but from a low base; in December just 40 per cent of people said they’d be willing to get vaccinated.) Anti-vaccination protesters and COVID-19 deniers gather in Melbourne.Credit:Penny Stephens We have allowed irrationality, corrosive cynicism and contempt for truth to take root in our societies. The Coalition has become something of a safe space for the Trumpian inclined − Kelly left them, not the other way around. It was almost a year into the pandemic before Facebook announced it would remove false claims about COVID-19 vaccines. Why have governments − why have we − allowed this insidious platform to tear at the social fabric and make billions in the process? Lord only knows I’m worried about employers’ expanding powers: to surveil their workers at home, to dictate what they do and say, and even who they sleep with, in their spare time, to dob in JobSeeker recipients who turn down job offers. But my only qualm about mandating jabs is that the strategy might backfire and stoke vaccine resistance. The only industrial right we should be concerned with is the right of employees to a workplace as COVID-immune as possible; the only human right, the right of vulnerable people to be protected from fatal disease, and their expectation that we protect them by getting vaccinated en masse. So when someone asks − as someone did this week on ABC talkback radio − if their employer can sack them for not getting the jab, then answer as presenter Virginia Trioli did. Ask why they’re not inclined to get vaccinated. Explain that while the vaccine was developed speedily it still went through all the necessary trials and approvals. Tell them the vaccine works and that with more than 200 million people already vaccinated around the world we can say the risk of serious side effects is infinitesimal. People are entitled to their own feelings; not their own facts. On this principle there can be no compromise. Julie Szego is a regular columnist. Most Viewed in National
Shields Although the shields are effective as protection, their ceremonial use has become more and more important as battles between Na'vi clans have become mostly a thing of the past. All shields are highly decorated. But ceremonial shields are woven with traditional patterns that depict a story from Na'vi history. The patterns and construction are based on centuries of visual tradition and visual language. Many symbols are abstract images of the protective power of Eywa, or of heroic ancestors. Newer shields depict images of gunships (or gunsip to the Na'vi) and AMP suits.

My favorite egg sandwich is the Monster Egg Sandwich from the Boerum Hill Food Company, on Smith St. in Brooklyn. It's a personal-sized ciabbata, about 7 inches long, with cheddar melted on both sides. They scramble a few eggs perfectly, add slices of crispy country bacon, and smoosh it all together. Heaven. I order it for dinner after late nights at the office. You have to ask and make sure they haven't run out of ciabbata, though, because it's no good on regular bread. For starters, I live in Tasmania Australi, and I cant seem to find any Jack Montreal cheese!!! Help me please!!!! it is monterey jack. a reasonable substitute would be a young gouda or any sort of melty smooth white cheese. colby? cheddar would be good too. Does anyone have a picture of this?

On September 30, the SEC issued its second round of mass settled actions over municipal securities disclosure issues, as part of its Municipal Continuing Disclosure Cooperation (“MCDC”) Initiative. In this round, 22 municipal underwriters will undertake remedial measures and pay fines (ranging from $20,000 to $500,000 and totaling $4.12 million) for disclosure violations. Announced in March of 2014, the MCDC Initiative offered structured settlements for municipal underwriters and issuers who voluntarily “came in from the cold” to self-report failures of new bond issuers to adequately disclosure whether they had been keeping up with their periodic financial-reporting obligations in prior issues. The program had a five-year “look back” and was intended to rapidly bring municipal-market financial disclosures into compliance. Under the program, cooperating self-reporting municipal underwriters agreed to accept sanctions ranging from $20-60,000 per offering (capped at $100,000 to $500,000, depending on size and number of issues involved), cease and desist orders and independent-consultant review of municipal compliance programs. The SEC’s order granting disqualification waivers lists this round’s Respondents:’33 Act Rel. No. 9956 (September 30, 2015), here. See also Administrative Releases here. I discussed the first round of settlements here.
Services - Our Clients Types of Clients Intelligent Capital serves a range of technology-oriented clients including: Common Client Situations We typically become engaged with our clients as they approach important decision points in the evolution of their companies, such as: 1. A private company determining how to get to the next level Once an emerging company has reached a key milestone in its development, it can be advisable for the board and management to take a fresh look at the best path forward for the company. A common example of such a milestone is the completion and initial deployment of a key product or technology. At this point, a decision must be made as to the best way to produce, market, sell, and support the product. Two alternative approaches are financing and building this infrastructure, or engaging with a strategic partner or acquirer that has this infrastructure already established in the marketplace. One thing our clients tend to have in common: they have created a product or technology that has the potential to enable a larger company to extend a core product line, enter a new segment, or increase differentiation and competitive advantage. Value is created by the leverage effect of bringing the client's products to bear on the substantially larger revenue and market capitalization of the potential partners. Given this, we believe it is important for the board and management of the smaller company to consider the strategic value of a partnership/ acquisition outcome, and not just the financial opportunity available to the company on a stand-alone basis. 2. A private company that has received an unsolicited inbound offer As an established company operates in existing and new markets, it may learn of a smaller company that has a unique technology or product position. Given the positive implications on the larger company's time-to-market or competitive position, it might choose to make an unsolicited offer for a strategic acquisition of the smaller company. This event, which initially seems like a positive development to the smaller company, can create a major challenge for the board of directors and the management team. Determining whether the offer is fair can be very difficult in a situation where the value is not based on financial metrics, but rather on strategic aspects of the company. Our experience suggests that an offer submitted in this fashion is often not representative of the fair value of the smaller company. Given this, we typically would advise the board to explore further options in an effort to gain more information and try to better understand the fair value of the company. 3. A public company that wants to divest a division or product group As strategies and business foci of larger companies evolve, they often find that a business unit or a product/technology group is no longer core to their strategic direction. If management believes that the unit might have value to others, they can capture the value that has been created, and provide for the future of the employees involved, by divesting the unit. Intelligent Capital's focus on the complementary value of the business unit's technology and team enables us to find the right partner, tell the story effectively, and drive the divestiture process.

Evolving traditional education into virtual reality classes has many advantages; however, it also has many limitations overriding the benefits and therefore it will not replace traditional education in the foreseeable future. Firstly, virtual reality classes would result in children spending more time at home by themselves with a mask over their head, rather than in a classroom setting surrounded by children. This may lessen their ability to learn how to work in groups and cooperate with their peers, which is a skill proven to be learned through traditional education.1 Secondly, as a consequence of younger kids having more technology, the rates of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have steadily increased and this problem may worsen with the incorporation of virtual reality classes.2 Finally, this type of learning is more accessible to more affluent students, meaning lower social economic status (SES) families would not have access to this type of learning, further escalating the disparity between the rich and poor.3 For these reasons, traditional education is a more feasible option for students to obtain both school knowledge and the necessary people skills required in the workplace and everyday life. Traditional education allows children to go to school and learn how to cooperate in a group setting with an adult and 20-30 other students. They learn how to share and use teamwork to work towards a common goal, which is a crucial life skill that may not be developed through virtual reality classes.1 Also, with traditional education, students may have the opportunity to be in the same class as a student with down syndrome or autism. This unique opportunity allows them to interact first hand with these populations and understand the vast diversity throughout the world. With the introduction and expansion of social media, children are spending less time in the presence of others, but rather in virtual reality.4,5 This has sustainably lowered the amount of close friends’ children have and intensified the rates of adolescent depression because children are not receiving adequate social interaction.5 Virtual reality classes may further exacerbate this problem as children would have very limited interactions with others and have fewer close friends. The rates of ADD and ADHD have dramatically amplified in the last decade with the expansion of technology.2 This is a result of parents letting their children watch hours of stimulating television shows to keep them busy and entertained, which has been shown to reduce the ability of children to orient their attention and focus on a task for a duration of time.2,6 On average an adolescent child spends four to five hours watching television in a day.7 Virtual reality classes would only make this situation worse as there is a high probability students would be spending both their school day and evenings away from reality. This also means a reduction in physical activity as they would not be required to get outside and move, increasing the rates of obesity and not allowing the children to develop basic fundamental movement skills.8 Finally, virtual reality is not widely accessible to all students; therefore, it would most likely be used by higher SES families as lower SES families would not be able to afford this type of education.9,10 If government money and resources are put into virtual reality classes and traditional education is overlooked, lower SES families will be more impacted by this decision3. The more affluent would receive the best education; whereas, the less affluent would be forced to a second tier form of education, further amplifying the disparity between rich and poor, leading to further segregation and inequality.3,10 In summary, virtual reality classes have several advantages; however, the negative impacts strongly outweigh the positives. There are already too many problems in this world including adolescent depression, physical inactivity, obesity, ADD, ADHD, inequality, and segregation, and the introduction of virtual reality classes would potentially make these difficulties substantial worse. As of now, traditional education is the best way to go as children have to opportunity to learn how to interact with their peers and function as part of a team. It also gives them the freedom to make friends, create lifelong bonds, and learn about the vast diversity in this world. References: - Osumi, T. (2003).

SENATOR GREG BALL HONORS YORKTOWN STUDENT FOR ACHIEVING GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD Brewster, N.Y. – 9/24/2013 – Senator Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson) honored Kristen Anderson from Yorktown Heights with a New York State Senate Proclamation for achieving her Girl Scout Gold Award. Kristen Anderson is a Girl Scout in Troop 1491 in Yorktown Heights and is currently a Senior at Yorktown High School. Kristen’s Girl Scout Gold Award Project was called ‘Caring for the Caregivers at Rosary Hill Home’, which is a skilled nursing facility that is operated entirely on donations by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. The home is dedicated to providing palliative care to persons afflicted with incurable cancer. “It was a pleasure to meet Kristen and her family to hear about her Gold Award Project. Kristen is a prime example of service before self,” said Senator Greg.” Last summer, Kristen’s sister, Laura, was doing her Gold Award project for the patients of Rosary Hill. While Kristen was helping Laura, she was inspired by the selflessness of the Sisters, so when it came time to choose her project, she decided to do something to show appreciation to the Sisters who dedicate their lives caring for the terminally ill. Mother Mary Francis, OP, the President of Rosary Hill, showed Kristen a structure on the property which the Sisters affectionately call their ‘Summer Home’. It is a screened building where the Sisters enjoy evenings during the Summer months. The entire structure, inside and out, needed to be refurbished so Kristen fundraised at her parish, Saint Patrick’s Church in Yorktown Heights. The parishioners were very generous as many of them had loved ones who received amazing care at Rosary Hill. Kristen sanded, stained, and painted the entire structure, and with a generous contribution from a local business, Yorktown Glass, Kristen replaced 22 screen windows. Kristen was very happy with the final result, a lovely oasis where the Sisters can relax after a long day. Kristen is currently applying to college and she hopes to study Architecture.

PHOTO PROMPT – © Sandra Crook DUMBSDAY That there cockeyed hourglass were put up there coupla years ago by Mr. Lillington….excuse me, Doctor Arnold Lillington, ass-tronomer. Silly old coot. Crazy as that Doc Brown in them ‘Back To The Future’ movies. He put it up on that funny angle on purpose. Says he’s got proof – mathematical proof – that an asteroid is gonna smack into Earth, November, 2018. When it does, it’s gonna tilt the whole world on its axis by just enough to straighten that thing up long enough to count down our extinction. Yeah, right! Hope it hits them Mayans first, and busts their calendar. * When the first experimental atomic bomb was exploded for the Manhattan Project, the builders watched from, what was thought to be, a safe distance. As the shock-wave approached, Enrico Fermi, the great physicist, tore half a small envelope into tiny pieces, and dropped them like confetti as it arrived. He then measured where they fell with his foot, and by eye, and wrote a number on the other half of the envelope. When the ‘experts’ later calibrated how large the blast was in kilotons, he set the paper in front of the general in charge. His ‘guesstimate’ was correct to three decimals. As late as the day before the Trinity blast, the team of scientists were still arguing about whether exploding the bomb would set the entire atmosphere on fire, destroying all life on the planet. Later, perhaps regretting what he had helped create, J. Robert Oppenheimer is quoted as saying, “I am Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds.” * Go to Rochelle’s Addicted to Purple site and use her Wednesday photo as a prompt to write a complete 100 word story.
I love seeing comedians getting recognition in less stand-up-focused realms – it’s like the real world acknowledges there’s cool shit happening in the weird, wild world of comedy. So we have good news today from the Off-Broadway League: Mike Birbiglia’s been nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Achievement Off-Broadway for his solo show, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend. This marks his second nomination in this category; he was previously nominated for his first one-man show Sleepwalk With Me. The awards ceremony goes down May 1 in New York City, and the ceremony is open to the public! Go here for details and tickets. And cross your fingers for Birbigs. Read a review of My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend from last summer, when Birbiglia was performing in Montreal.
This is an umbrella in a box. Boston and Tampa are tied 0-0 in the third inning. Considering the game was supposed to start at 700, there must have been a rain delay, although I can see no evidence of one. Doubles by Lugo and Pedroia combine to give Boston a 1-0 lead in the third, and then David Ortiz walks to bring up the Bad Man with two on, two out. However, Manny strikes out. 1-0 Boston after 3, with Clay the Wonder Boy pitching for our side. I apologize for making you sign in, but I'm trying to cut down on spam.
Born in 1978 in Arkansas City, Kansas, USA AFA, 1998, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA BFA, 2011 in Studio Arts, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA BFA, 2012 in Studio Arts Lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Jamison Charles Banks is an enrolled member of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe and the Cherokee Tribe of Oklahoma. From an early age, Banks found the inspiration to create from both his mother’s graphic art and his grandfather Bill Jamison’s paintings; they gave him much of his foundation for understanding the practice of art. Mr. Banks appreciates and works in all forms of media but specializes in screen-printing and large scale graphic paintings. Being of Native American descent, Mr. Banks has a unique American perception of the modern twenty-first century. He is fascinated by images of persuasive iconography, from Christian icon paintings, twentieth-century political propaganda, as well as comics and advertisements. Banks combines these elements into his accessible yet powerfully thoughtful and challenging creations. Mr. Banks most recent series, The BIG BAD WOLF, is a study of antiquated imagery and how the work creates a visual dialogue that connects to the artist’s ancestral identity. Based loosely on a family member’s experiences in the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War, Banks created a video and a series of prints to accompany the story. This work explores how powerful the history of psychological weaponry is. Using various forms of media, the creation of objects that help to further identify with the invented personality. It is through this imaginary exploration that the artist discovers realities that enrich the understanding his true identity. Jamison’s work can be found in numerous private collections and museums around the world. Banks has shown at various galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA and Seattle, Washington, USA.
Racing my first Oceania Championships, we flew to Auckland where the Oceania champs were to be raced. This was the first time that the race had been held here and it was going to be something unique as this was also the first time to Vector Wero for many. The brand new course had only opened a few months prior and was something so different to many other courses i had been to. Being both modern and full on, this course was incredibly foreign to myself and took a few sessions to get use to. Often feeling like groundhog day going around the symmetrical course, I began to get the hang of things and once i did this course was awesome, despite the poles often being at 45 degrees. Off the water we stayed at a small farm house 20 minutes up the road from the course and while the house was in the middle of renovations it was a fantastic find as between games of Cludeo, Soccer and feeding the cows this was a perfect place between sessions to stay. We trained Sunday through to Friday each day getting more and more confident with the moves and features of the course. This was going to be the first of the 2017 Selection events and as such everyone was going to be pushing themselves to get of to a good start in trying to make the team. Coming up to race day I was pumped to put my weeks work to the test. My heats run was rocky as I was slightly off my lines the whole way down meaning I picked up a collection of gates on my way down. Finishing with 10 secs of penalties, I waited for the results to be published before i got dry, as 5 touches I doubted i had done enough to qualify on first runs. However 10 minutes later i was relieved when I saw that I had made it through to semi finals. Coming into the semi-finals i looked to improve on my positioning as with both touches and being off line I felt I had plenty I could improve on from the heats. Unfortunately my luck didn’t change and i wasn’t able to improve, finishing my Oceania Champs in 20th.

With more than 135 million members worldwide, LinkedIn is a great way to connect and be found, and many recruiters search LinkedIn to find relevant candidates. The differences A CV is a record of achievement, and as such it's a static backward-looking document. Until we are actively hunting for jobs, most of us put it to one side once it's been written. A LinkedIn profile is different, it's an active document that can be regularly revised as we add status updates, receive and provide recommendations and interact with others. We aren't constrained by how much we can fit on a page, and it is so much more than a CV alternative. Used properly, LinkedIn can be a very effective way of raising our profile and marketing ourselves. It's less about a list of what we have done in the past and more focused on letting people know what we can do and how we can help. Being on LinkedIn means you can use this as part of your job search strategy, seeking out job posts, doing your research, identifying people for fact-finding interviews and so on. Recruiters Recruiters and employers think LinkedIn is a great way of finding candidates. LinkedIn is a huge database and by using relevant key words they can quickly find the people they need. If they look you up what will they find? A partly completed profile or nothing at all? If you are not found at all, what message are you giving to the recruiter? Perhaps that you are a techno-dinosaur and other negative impressions? Where people go wrong I find too many fail to get the best out of LinkedIn; their profile is incomplete, they don't have a photo and there is nothing compelling about the information they share. Registering for LinkedIn and not doing much with it is like joining a gym and expecting to get fit - you have to do the work. The benefits A great benefit of LinkedIn is that you don't have to be constrained by your CV but can pick out the highlights from each job that you want to share; you can use SlideShare to upload videos and documents via box.net. We can impress others with book reviews via the Amazon app, for example. More important is the summary - you get 2000 characters and should use them all; use this space like a cover letter to address the reader and provide examples and details that will make them want to find out more about you. Recommendations The reader will at least skim through your complete profile - and eyes are drawn to the recommendations. Do you have any and what do they say? The people who recommend you can be powerful advocates of you and your strengths and as the recommendations are linked back to a person, there is a much higher level of trust. It's not just you saying how great you are. Providing recommendations is also important. It gets you noticed on other peoples' pages and also demonstrates your judgement. We still need a CV All that said, we still need a CV as a career overview and introduction to employers, recruiters, network contacts, but many will seek to learn more about you. As increasing numbers of people will read CVs via their smart phone, a CV document can be hard to read, whereas a LinkedIn profile is formatted for easy access on a phone. But it's not always CV first, LinkedIn second. Many times you can be found on LinkedIn first of all and your CV will only be read if the reader likes what they see online. Will LinkedIn replace the CV? Maybe - many recruiters are now searching for potential candidates through LinkedIn so you could be missing out, and LinkedIn will be increasingly used to find candidates. For now, LinkedIn should be used as part of an integrated job seeking strategy; it provides much more flexibility in the way you present your information, you aren't constrained by two pages and you can include additional content such as links, presentations and videos. If you aren't found online your application may not be taken further, do you want to take this risk? To use LinkedIn effectively • Write in the first person, not the third, include insight into your personality and character, not just what you have done, emphasise key words and accomplishments. • Include key words throughout your profile. For example, copy-writing or social media. • Take account of your company confidentiality policy, and do not include any confidential details. If currently in work don't tick the looking for job opportunities box, you will still be found, don't make it obvious you are looking. • Aim for five to eight recommendations but get as many as you can, it's far more effective to have other people write a recommendation than you talk about how good you are. • Improve your visibility by asking questions, providing answers and joining relevant groups. • Join groups related to your background and desired goal so you can identify relevant jobs. • Include a link to your LinkedIn profile on your CV and email signature to encourage people to find out more about you.

Appearing in the press is one way to gain exposure. Websites and, to a lesser extent, magazines offer content to dedicated readers who want to find out more about good music and the people who make it. The aim for the press outlet is to generate traffic with interesting articles, usually in order to sell advertising space, monetizing their audience, rather than the content they create. So how do you end up on the pages? Whether those pages are virtual or made of paper, there’s one key way to get coverage: do something interesting. Consider the case of sound designer Diego Stocco, who gained press coverage by creating a video of his leaf-blower sound design adventure. Then there’s Bertolt Meyer’s adventures in controlling his synths with his prosthetic arm. Seen from the eyes of a journalist, these stories are interesting to an audience of musicians, and so are more likely to be written about. Unless it’s about someone who’s famous to begin with, you’ll never see the story “Artist Releases Album” appear on a big music website. Why would it? Your aim for ensuring you get your name out there, so something that only you can do in order to make yourself interesting. For inspiration, check out the stories as presented on the websites themselves. Here, you can get an idea of the kind of story that’s valuable to a website. You should notice that those “Artist Releases Album” headlines can apply to well-know faces, but smaller artists usually have to do something more to justify their coverage. Journalists are busy people. When they’re not writing stories for publication or dealing with their bosses being idiots [yes, it’s a universal experience], they’re sorting through new leads and checking out what’s being written by the competition. New potential stories are distributed to writers and editors as press releases, and while we’ll tell you exactly how to send and formulate a press release later on in this article, you’ll need to sure you’ve got the basic steps right first. With a bit of work, it will be possible to find email addresses and/or web forms for submitting news stories to a website. Different outlets will also use each other to source their stories, so it’s likely that getting successfully reported on a couple of websites will trigger others to write stories too. Make sure you understand the tone of each website before reaching out. No point in taking your latest chamber chorale announcement over to DJMag.com, or your underground minimal techno tune to MTV.com. Clara Suess, owner of PR agency Suess Media, writes… “In such a crowded space, you really need to stand out. Think about what you do which is different to other artists - it could be your sound, your story, your supporters, your look. Then, when pitching to press, take time to really get to know which outlets are the best places to approach - be it a magazine, website, YouTube channel, Spotify Playlist, SoundCloud channel, radio show, etc. See which places and journalists cover music similar to your music and do your research so your pitch is as targeted as possible - so to reference relevant placements for your music and which regular features are covered. Even better, take time to follow and engage with key journalists on social media so they get to know you and are more likely to respond to your emails and listen to your music. I always recommend a targeted one-to-one approach, especially for specific features, rather than blasting out emails to everyone at once. More personalised approaches always secure better results.” “It takes time but building these relationships is vital in securing good press coverage. It also means that it doesn’t matter where you live, you can still approach key titles and journalists via social media. Then you can build on this by meeting in person with journalists at industry networking events such as IMS Ibiza, Amsterdam Dance Event, Miami WMC, Brighton Music Conference, etc. People will be a lot more open to meeting with you if they know who you are!” Finally, don’t just send the same information to every single website you can find – personalizing your message and tailoring it to fewer specific websites is far more likely to land you with success than spending the same time blanketing every email address you can find. It’s possible to involve a professional PR person in your press-seeking endeavours. These companies and individuals will help you tailor your message and come up with a unique plan based on your skills. While these professionals will cost you money, their experience in knowing what works and their web of contacts can help you come up with a plan and implement it too. Abi Bunce from Infectious PR writes… "One of the most important things to consider when creating a press plan is to understand how different media publications work. This includes lead time and having knowledge of what the journalists are looking for. Whether you’re looking to get a review in a print magazine inline with a release day or an online feature a week before to create a buzz, all journalists have different deadlines to make this happen. What’s more, what they look for is also very subjective. Make sure you have a clear understanding of regular feature opportunities, who they are looked after by and what genre that journalist likes. When you know this in detail, a press plan is easier to execute for strong results. As soon as you know a release is on its way, let your publicist know so there is time to secure these ops." What do you have to say? What do you want people to know about? What’s different about what you’re doing? If you can answer these questions concisely, you’re ready to write something to send to the press. At one time, press releases were distributed as faxed or even mailed paper, giving an overview of the story to journalists and writers, so they could retell the story (often with more words and a larger context) to their readers. The press will receive more press releases per day than they can write stories about, so any given release has to make its case well. Imagine your press release a little like a CV. A hiring manager has to compare ‘applications’ from multiple people and choose the best ones, all within whatever limited period of time they’ve found themselves with. Get to the point, sum up the most important points right at the start, and don’t include more than one page. Who doesn’t love feeling special? Members of the press are just like anyone else, and so a secret pre-release download or streaming link will make them more likely to listen. You can host tracks as private on SoundCloud, and still get a secret link to share (you can disable the existing link later if you think it’s fallen into the wrong hands). YouTube videos can be set to Unlisted, meaning that they’re not seen on your channel or shown to any subscribers, but people with a link can still see them. A press pack is, basically, a ZIP file with all the assets a person could find useful to write a story about an artist and/or a release. High-quality and web-quality photography, artwork, social media links, and information about the latest release are essential items here. Other inclusions could be logos, a biography, links to audio files, and even links to videos that can be embedded in an article being written about you. Again, look at the sort of images and embeds that are included in existing stories, and you’ll know the kind of thing that floats the boat of an editor or a writer. The mission behind a press pack is to easily put words at a writer’s fingertips In short, the mission behind a press pack is to easily put words at a writer’s fingertips. Imagine that a story’s being written by somebody who knows nothing about your work. After a couple of paragraphs on the new release, where does the writer go next? If there’s information in your press pack about previous releases, awards, labels you’ve released on, and anything else of note, these are more likely to be included to bulk out the article. No one wants to look through a press release and see that “your latest single is one to watch out for in the summer of 2017”; and your photography should also remain as current as possible. If you’re not going to be able to keep your press kit current, another strategy is to simply leave out all references to specific times. Consider how you’d feel if somebody read this in three years’ time. There are more producers than ever before – so much so that music tech has become a press market in itself. Even this very blog includes interviews with artists talking about how they make their tunes; and there are plenty of magazines, websites and YouTube channels dedicated to mastering the art of production. If you’re a skilled producer who has something to teach, and if the technology behind the music you make speaks as loud as the music itself, it’s worth pursuing these press outlets completely separately. It’s a little easier to find an angle in the music technology space. Here, your selling point could be your studio, as in MusicTech’s Show Off Your Studio series; your technique, as in Future Music’s The Track series; or anything else that you have to contribute to producers just like you.

There is a bank or rather a small mound of earth in our garden. It is made up from the soil that was removed when we extended the pond. We have toyed with the idea of making it into a rockery but now have concluded that we would experiment with it instead. So, thinking about the wildlife we decided to begin by sinking two large flowerpots on their sides to make areas that might entice wildlife … our cat had other ideas and we caught her peacefully snoozing in one of the pots … but “What big ears you have – and - all the better to hear you with” pus heard the click from the camera and soon alighted and went on the prowl. 10 comments: I love it. The pots are a great idea. I'm sure your pus will enjoy them for a long time... I'm sure she thought how thoughtful you were to put that there just for her or him. It's probably nice and cool in the ground like that. nice post! blog walking here, hav a great day! visit me back! awww very sweet!!! LOL, only a cat! so cute! I just had to stop and comment when I saw these pictures!!! I smiled and smiled at how cute kitty in the pot is!!!What a character! Would you like to exchange links?

I was there thirty years age in Washington, D.C. where during the Ronald Regan presidency it was normal to harrass, arrest and confiscate the instruments until a court date. There will always be a fight for civil rights and It comes from the fight of our basic humane rights to express ourselves. Due to a recent change in Park rules on 8 May, it is now illegal for performers to accept donations in CP, Union Square, The High Line and Battery. So far two performers have been issued summonses ($250) on The High Line and I have been harrassed for doing completely legal things there. Just a heads-up all. The change in Parks rules was extremely disappointing — especially after so many music supporters came out against it. I’ve asked around in Central Park about the consequences of those changes, and it sounds like many performers there haven’t noticed a big change — i.e. the news haven’t resulted in tickets yet. But it means that performers are no longer protected whenever ticketing begins. From what you say, the High Line is already experiencing big problems. Are you aware of any organizing efforts or publicity about that? I’m not sure we’re able to take a leadership role at all — we’re spread a bit thin already! — but we’d love to be help out.

30Tue My work explores complex technological systems to produce new forms of engagement and understanding of where power and politics reside in opaque or black-boxed technologies. One project, The Dark Age of Connectionism, explicitly attempts to create open and transparent interactions with the complex systems underpinning always-listening technologies such as the Amazon Echo. Audience members must learn to withhold the sounds of their own presence around these devices in order to reveal the questions being asked to 'Alexa' by 'Siri'; questions which expose either the technologies and techniques around the construction of such devices, or echo the anxieties of living amongst them. Another project is Outlier, a cyborg augmentation to the act of reading which uses common technologies of algorithmic neural network text analysis to produce a 'hyperreal' soundscape, where disruptions in the binaural sound field correspond to algorithmic findings within the text. My ongoing research and practice in the field of machine learning is becoming more focused upon methods to reveal hidden-layer processes in ML systems, inherent biases in both the data sets and code of machine learning systems, and the evolving application of them by exploitative governmental and corporate bodies. Presented with Native Instruments and SHAPE,. Wesley Goatley is a sound artist and researcher in critical data aesthetics. Through installations, software artworks, and performance, his work explores the politics and ideologies of data, and how critical artistic practice can expand our understanding of it.
Man Explained Why He Chose To Donate His Kidney To A Complete Stranger With Chronic Kidney Disease/ "Some of my friends have told me that although they support me, I’d better not give anything else away," said Joe Slater as he discussed what drove him to donate a kidney anonymously and altruistically (out of the kindness of his heart). Altruistic Kidney Donors such as Joe are typically rare, but are becoming more frequent. Joe's story serves as a great example to inspire Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients in need to reach out beyond their circle of family and friends. Recommended Reading: Can Non-Directed Kidney Donor Chains Play Key Part In Contributing To Additional Yearly Transplants? In the United States, only 1,100 people have donated kidneys anonymously over the past 20 years. Moreover, in 2011 (the latest year complete statistics are available) there were just 159 anonymous kidney donors in the United States which is a mere fraction of the over 100,000 Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients currently waiting for a Kidney Transplant, as well as the 6,657 Kidney Transplant candidates who died while waiting on the list in 2013 alone. Recommended Reading: Petition Policies To Boost Living Kidney Donation & Cut Chronic Kidney Disease Patients' Wait Times Hence, it is to the benefit of those Chronic Kidney Disease and patients conducting Dialysis who desire a Kidney Transplant to understand why Joe would be willing to give his right kidney to a complete stranger. This can help patients (1) better identify potentially willing living kidney donors, and (2) improve their chances of receiving a Kidney Transplant. Recommended Reading: Leading Syndicated Talk Show Making Inaccurate Statements Which Dissuade Living Kidney Donation Joe wanted to donate after seeing a news report about Altruistic Donation. He said that he thought, “wow, that’s an interesting thing to do.” After beginning the process, Joe found comfort in the fact that, "They were always very clear there was no obligation on me at any point in the proceedings, or that I had to keep going ahead with it." Recommended Reading: Wow! 34 CKD Patients Received Kidneys In Donor Chain: Hoping To Cut Wait From 5 Years To 6 Months Why anonymously? Slater, noted that he ultimately chose to donate anonymously because he thought it would be "a little awkward." He said, "What do you say? ‘Can I buy you a drink?’" Still, the PhD student is happy with his decision and believes that "whoever has it [his kidney] is making good use of it anyway." Recommended Reading: Otherwise Eligible Kidney Donors Disqualified From Donating To CKD Patients Due To Lack Of Funds An avid donor, Joe Slater, mentioned that he has donated blood 20 times as well as stem cells. He is well educated, single and would be less likely to donate a kidney if he was trying to start a family at this time. Recommended Reading: Living Kidney Donors Jump To Front Of Kidney Transplant Waiting List If They Ever Need Transplant These insights may help Chronic Kidney Disease patients who are currently on the waiting list connect with their life saving kidney donors. What is clear is that there are hundreds of people out there willing to donate altruistically, especially if they understand a patient's personal story. Recommended Reading: Although Facebook Is A Growing Source For CKD Kidney Donors, Black Market Poses A Special Challenge Anne Paschke (spokeswoman for the United Network for Organ Sharing in Richmond, Virginia) said, "We've seen a steady increase in calls [from individuals interested in Altruistic Donation] each year," according to Chicago Tribune. Experts suggest that the jump is likely because of, "the Internet, emotional videos on YouTube and the reach of Social Media." Recommended Reading: Why Otherwise Willing Non-Donors Do Not Donate Their Kidneys To Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Therefore, Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients should not wait on the sidelines. Now more so than ever before, patients have the opportunity to reach out and touch a potential Living Kidney Donor.

Give Camilo Dominguez some cards and prepare to be mesmerized. The young 23-year-magician began honing his craft at the ripe young age of four when he was growing up in Colombia. Dominguez is performing his close-up magic at the McPherson Playhouse, Oct. 18 and 19. Projectors will be set up with large screens so the audience can get a good look at his tricks. “I told my mother I wanted to be a magician and she looked one up in the phonebook to teach me,” he said, adding the first card trick he learned involved four aces. He has since mentored under other magicians who have helped him develop his career as a professional magician. Dominguez attended Belmont secondary school when he was 15 as an international student and now lives in Vancouver. At Belmont he worked with teacher Troy Harris, founder of Canadian World Education Society. Through his society, Harris has built and run a school in Nepal. Harris’ society is now helping educate children from preschoolers to Grade 12. Dominguez has performed at several of the CanWES fundraisers and is donating a portion of the profits from these shows to the cause. The shows are at 8 p.m. on Oct. 18 and 19 at the McPherson Playhouse, 3 Centennial Sq. Tickets are $20 and available on his website camilothemagician.com. Did you know? The Said the Whale song The Magician AKA Camilo, was written about Camilo Dominguez.
Hello, I am struggling to find the right code to perform the following task: I have a field "ProductNumber" in an Access Table (which is a timestamp based record table). I get data to this table from hundreds of text files. So data in Access table is dynamic. "ProductNumber" field contains Integer product numbers (there are 10000 records as a minimum). However, it might be only one or few unique products in the whole table (it means that there are lets say 2000 records of product #2, 6000 records of product #8 and the rest 2000 records of product #1). I would like to make a VBA function that quickly and without looping through the entire field would output array with 3 numbers in this case: 2, 8, 1. Having an array with unique numbers I could then use SQL to built a query that would have that particular array as s criteria for data filtering. Any suggestions? The query SELECT DISTINCT ProductNumber FROM NameOfTheTable will return the unique product numbers. You can use this as a subquery in other queries, or you can open a recordset (DAO or ADODB) on this SQL and use it any way you want. Regards, Hans Vogelaar ()
chasing a similar problem - my '99 Outback Wgn (120 k mi) has been throwing an EGR/bad spark plug code every few months for a year. The car runs fine, and after "fixing" the problem the first few times, I just check to see if I'm throwing a new code for a new problem,and reset. I figure that there must be a stray signal getting into the system, and I'll just have to live with it. You might also see Subaru TSB #116000, CEL code P0705 I go with NAPA (gold?) batteries. Not maintenance free, but they have never done me wrong and I have one in my pickup that was installed in August 1999.... it will start up that truck at -35F after two months of sitting and no battery heater! (I just found out recently that the pad had gone kaput... probably years ago by the looks of it! :sick: ) I'll be sure to log when it does fail. Anybody have any suggestions . Thanks Mike It was 6 years old at the time. Mike - sorry, never tried that myself. -juice I've gotten to know when to let off the gas a little to ease the shift, and the used car warranty has expired. It's not all of the time, and I spend most of my time at highway speed so I think I'll leave it for now. Thanks for your input. David You are most welcome. Steve Just to be sure, these are the instructions that I posted when someone else asked. They had lost a set of keys and wanted to disable the lost fob. It is basically what is in the manual, plus some rewording for clarity. Maybe there is some minor deviation that is hindering your attempts: Round Fob Programming Instructions Warning: Do not program your remotes with other Subarus in the vicinity as you may be unknowingly programming someone else's remote for your vechicle.! 1. Disarm the security system (if your vehicle is. (leave the key in the ignition) The horn will sound once to indicate that you are in transmitter programming mode. 5. You must finish the next steps within 45 seconds of the horn honking. A. Open the driver's door. B. Close the driver's door. C. Press and release any button on the transmitter. The horn will sound two times to indicate that the transmitter has been programmed. The control unit can remember up to 4 transmitter codes, so your lost unit is still active and could potentially be used by a bad guy. Wipe it out by programming the new one and the remaining original two times each to reassign all 4 program slots. You can do this all in one step by repeating items "A, B & C" in quick succession. Exit Program Mode: After programming your remote, remove the key from the ignition switch. The horn will sound three times to indicate the system is now out of programming mode. Check that your remotes work properly at this time. Good luck, Steve David They probably make different sizes to fit the OB as well. If you have Subaru Bucks from a Chase Subaru credit card, like me, it might end up being free. If not there are aftermarket options, try Google for "Subaru Sway Bar". -juice Have a flash light with you- next turn on the car so you get electricity to the unit, use your finger to completely cover the front photoelectric sensor while covering the rear sensor as well- this should keep the mirror completely transparent, now while keeping the front sensor covered, shine the flash light into the rear sensor- you should she the mirror gradually turning translucent (darker- less light getting through). My Tribeca's works very quickly, my Lexus dims all the rear view mirrors (not just the center one). Hope that works... Cheers, AKA1 She took it to the dealer for an oil change, and mentioned that the clutch makes a bit of a squishy or scrunchy noise during the last inch or so of pedal travel near the floor. So, they take it back for the oil change, and an hour later tell her that we need a new clutch, and it will be covered under warranty. She was so happy that they used the word "free" that she didn't bother to ask what happened and why we need a new clutch, and (more importantly to me) will it happen again? Any insight into what might be going on? thanks... We'd need to know more to say what it was, maybe ask the dealer when you pick it up? -juice If the car has a distributor, was the distributor cap changed? Did it happen before the cap was changed? (I had a similar problem with an old Honda. Turned out the cheapo distributor cap had a "knit line" where the coil wire enters the distributor. Moisture would cause a short and the current never reached the spark plug. Solution: a factory dist cap!) Jim Jim HB Does anyone now if Subaru will cover this...I know a lot of manufacturer's cover rust problems even after warranty...will it be an issue upon resale or trade in of the car, ie is it worth fixing? Thanks all, Caleb After wasting several hundred dollars trying to diagnose the problem (no code was ever tripped in the ECU, though the CEL would come on after every time this happened), I finally started following hunches. Oh, I should mention that it got to the point that the car would occasionally stall in traffic if the engine had not warmed up yet. After stalling, the same symptoms would appear. The first thing I replaced was the MAS (mass airflow sensor). That eliminated the stalling problem and reduced the frequency of my gremlin to about once every couple of weeks or so (maybe.... 50 or so starts?), but it was still there. Then I pulled then engine out of the car and replaced a whole slough of seals and gaskets to correct some horrific leaks. After reassembling, the frequency was even less.... about once a month. Then, in August of '04, I started having some severe problems that were causing flooding upon start up, rough idle, etc. I replaced the cam sensor, crank position sensor, and the knock sensor. The severe problems were eliminated, and oddly enough.... I've never had another recurrence of the dreaded gremlin. It is over a year now since the last time it happened (July 04).... and nothing ever stays that stable on this car for that long! If you want sensor locations, you can see them on the photo I posted for my head gasket rebuild last month. The crank sensor is located at the top-front-center of the block, the cam sensor is at the top-front-right (when looking @ the engine.... driver side), and the knock sensor is at the top-back and just right of the center of the block. I am not sure if it was random that this has not happened since replacing those sensors, but without a code in the ECU, gremlins can be hard to isolate. I do not personally think it is a mechanical problem. Keep in mind though, that your problem only seems to happen when the car is COLD rather than warm, so it may not be anything similar at all">link title. Argh. It's enough to cause madness! :mad: HB
dress (Mara Hoffman, Morton James, love this SALE Version), sneaks (Converse), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), bracelets (Morton James Cuff, jcrew, sylvia benson), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), shades (Gucci) Loved Mara Hoffman for quite a bit now (see Exhibit A), everything from her Swimsuits to her vibrant Frocks, she strikes the perfect balance of fun and flirty. And while I love a healthy dose of flirty, I feel inclined to tone it down a notch with, surprise surprise, a good pair of Sneaks. Not to say this number from Morton James wouldn't be perfect with some Gladiators, but personally, I feel more in my skin with the Chucks. And after all, it's about finding what works best for you, and your style, don't you think? Alright gang, I've got my mom flying in from Florida this morning and I cannot WAIT--missing her something fierce! Y'all have a wonderful weekend and shop some other Mara's below (some good sales on some of her pieces)! Make it a good one! photos courtesy of Kristin Tatem

Story of My Death was introduced to us by Florian Borchmeyer – one of the international programmers of the Filmfest München – as “Casanova and Dracula, together for the first time on the big screen!” The film’s director, Albert Serra, was present and seemed to appreciate the schlocky B-movie tagline that was bestowed upon his film. It seemed befitting of the monstrous hybrid plot that had been briefly outlined for us, pitting Casanova and Dracula in some kind of cross-century erotic vampire thriller period piece. What had happened in fact was that Serra had received a commission to make a period film featuring Dracula, a character he was not particularly taken by. To make things more interesting for himself, Serra introduced another historical figure in Casanova to mix into the Dracula film. It became clear that his engagement with these two characters was fairly abstract, a way of bringing together two universes: Romanticism, logic, rationalism – the universe of Casanova – and the Gothic, irrational and chaotic – that of Dracula. Serra spoke of his aim to place the two figures in a “dialectical” relationship with one another, representing two epochs’ figurations of desire, pleasure and power over others. The film thus borrows from its literary sources – Casanova’s autobiography, Story of My Life and Bram Stoker’s Dracula – in an extremely loose manner. The film begins with Casanova and his servant, Pompeu, whose sojourn in a Swiss castle makes up the first half hour of the film. Here, Casanova encounters a diplomat and other members of the aristocracy and philosophises about seduction, food, and politics amongst other things. The pair then travel to northern Europe to stay with a peasant family, and they attempt to seduce the three daughters. During their stay, Dracula appears and vies for the attention of the daughters as the film takes a much darker turn in the second half. Story of My Death benefits greatly from this looseness with the literary text – it is, in fact, its great strength. Serra’s success in this film derives precisely from his abstraction away from the source material, using the cues familiar to us as points of departure for the creation of an atmosphere and universe all of its own.1 The narrative of the two texts is isolated and distended, its familiar points of reference points floated before us. What results is a kind of fever dream using the writings of Casanova and Dracula as its constitutive elements. Serra inverts the mandate of fidelity of the period piece and literary adaptation: the costumes, setting, characters are all there, but this a work of complete fantasy. It is Serra’s experimentalist aesthetic that gives form to this abstract reverie. Working almost entirely with non-professional actors (as with his previous films), the director would keep the camera rolling for hours at a time while they improvised on and played with lines of dialogue or dramatic situations. Serra would then cut together a scene completely outside of the chronological order the actors performed them in. A line of dialogue would be followed by another spoken ten minutes beforehand in an entirely different run-through of the scene. Basic elements of drama in the theatrical tradition – action followed by reaction, provocation evoking a response – are completely undercut by this approach. Another element of fantasy thus emerges purely in the editing: this performance we see never took place, it exists only on the screen. Perhaps even more surreal is the film’s cinematography, which lies somewhere between Barry Lyndon and the paintings of Tintoretto. It appears to have been shot using only available light, yet that did not stop the director from staging multiple scenes during twilight or even at night. I have rarely seen a film as dark as Story of My Death is in parts, yet there is a remarkable degree of control and painterly precision in the shot composition. Serra’s attention to framing and shot composition is even more remarkable when one considers that the film – though shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio – was blown up to a 2:35:1 widescreen ratio during the editing, a conversion process that means getting rid of 40% of the image from the top or bottom of the frame. Serra insisted that the cinematographer continue shooting in 4:3, hiding the fact that he was editing each image in a different ratio, in order to create a disjointed, abstract relationship between images in the final cut. Along with Godard’s Adieu au Langage, Albert Serra’s Story of My Death is the most ambitious and experimental film in the main competition of the Filmfest München. If the film wins, Serra will receive the recognition that he deserves as one of the most talented, fascinating directors working today. Here’s hoping. Around the Staff:

- MaryEllen McCloud October 6, 2019 The Father says, Man sees one sinner better than another. I say ALL have fallen short of My Glory. I do not keep a tally on who does more right or wrong. Just thinking is the same as doing. My Light shining on man is what keeps My Creation still breathing. My Light allows the beauty to still radiate all over creation. All of mankind would pass away if I did not tend to My Garden every day. I am not surprised by the events of yesterday, today, or tomorrow. What I created I will have the final say over. Release the mind that wants anything less than My Best and Perfect Will for all. Do you see the saint until you see their sin? I have called you My Saints, from the moment you came home to My Love and Acceptance. I will not remove you from My list of the Beloved simply because you failed to perform correctly right now. You are not somehow doing something that I did not already nail to the cross over 2000 years ago. I am calling My Bride to walk in maturity and stop pointing fingers at the imperfections and weakness of those on the Potter’s Wheel. No one is a finished Master piece, but one day all will behold the Finished Works of My Hands and see the majesty of what I have done in and through one and all!

At our recent industry trade fair in New York, we made some wonderful connections with new friends, long time customers, and folks that visited us from Colombia, Toronto, DC, our friends in Portland, and of course many of our sales folks who attended. It was a whirlwind of activity at our booth. There is one conversation with a 'customer' that stands out. [the reason the word is in quotes is because she really wasn't a customer. See Below] She remarked when she came to our tradeshow booth. She was pleased to see us but I could also tell, she was slightly annoyed. She whispered to her colleague, and then expressed that she was disappointed because no one from my company responded to her interest in our products. She went on to explain that she was interested in our Veneerware natural disposable bamboo plates. She had seen our bamboo products lately and had contacted us by email, and by phone. And we hadn't replied. Now, as we got to talking, she admitted that she wasn't certain it was us. But in eyeing our products, she really really wanted to use our plates!! And we weren't making it easy for her. I could say confidently. And politely. 'it wasn't us.' The Customer is First. Even when they aren't a customer. I stated confidently that I was sure it wasn't us that she had contacted. We wouldn't have ignored her. But that we could easily help her now. And we would be delighted to. We are vigilant about our response time and the care we give existing and prospective customers. We work hard at this, and everyone shares the same belief. We have created systems to help support us. But ultimately it comes down to people caring. Said 'customer' is now gladly a real customer. Our product speaks for itself....and the Care in customer care comes with a capital 'C'.

Legendary Shack Shakers 'The Southern Surreal' - Alternative Tentacles They’re back and they mean business. Following two albums with the Dirt Daubers and the last Shack Shakers album Agri-dustrial (which was released in 2010) the J.D. Wilkes led band return to the fray on a new label. They are now working with Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label (also home to Slim Cessna’s Auto Club). On the last album guitar duties were handled by Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison. He guests here, but the main guitarist is now Rod Hamdallah who played and toured previously with the Dirt Daubers. Powerhouse drummer Brett Whitacre returns, as does longtime member, co-founder and the album’s co-producer, upright bassist Mark Robertson. Other guests include Fats Kaplin on violin and Ralph Carney on sax and horns. The Southern Surreal continues the band’s exploration of the cultural mores and eccentricities of the region that is their home country. It is somewhat more considered than the music played in their early days. There are also some tangents to the sound like The Dog was Dead, a distinctly very un-Old Shep tale of the demise of an injured dog delivered with the distinctive vocal tone of its writer, Billy Bob Thornton. Aside from that it’s the Colonel on the microphone. The album opens with a thirty second snippet of ambient guitar and drum noise before starting properly with Mud, which takes a similar stance but immediately lets you know you’re in familiar territory with an original song. From then on you are taken on a rollercoaster ride with songs likeMisAmerica, Dead Bury The Dead and The One that Got Away that show how well this band has gelled and how their music has grown and been honed and sharpened like a primal pitchfork. The latter song one of the most overtly catchy songs they have so far produced. The Wilkes/Robertson production team has delivered a powerful sound that is full of subtlety and solid ability. The other diversions on the musical menu include The Grinning Man, a short found vocal, while Fool’s Tooth is another concise, at under a minute, harmonica-fronted instrumental. From then on the band explores various roots elements that have been incorporated into their sound from the start, especially their individual take on the blues. To underline this, the album closes with Born under a Bad Sign, a song that explores the lyrical theme of hard times and bad luck over a fragmented sound collage underpinned by abstract percussion and rumbling bass. It is a fitting close to a welcome return that finds the band celebrating its twentieth year with renewed energy and a readiness to look to the next twenty years where their legendaryness can be assured. Barrence Whitfield & the Savages 'Under The Savage Sky' - Bloodshot This is the second album on Chicago’s Bloodshot label for rockin’ soul man Barrence Whitfield and his band, and it is every bit as explosive and high energy as his previous one. There’s little here that could be classed as country, but it fits loosely under the wide Americana umbrella. Whitfield has a demented but soulful voice and he is a dynamo backed by a rhythmically tight and forceful rock band. They sound as if the inmates have taken over the asylum and decided to throw a punk party and it follows on from where 2012 Dig My Savage Soul left off. Guitarist and writer Peter Greenberg again produces and he knows exactly the perfect sound for these 12 songs; this time out he has tightened the bolts and hardened the exterior to keep the core intensity intact. There are moments where the bands sounds like Little Richard fronting The Stooges of the Fun House era. The band is Greenberg, long time bassist Phil Lenker, drummer Andy Jody, Tom Quartulli on raging saxophone and keyboard player Ricky Nye and they do a sterling job of delivering some controlled mayhem. Upfront it is Whitfield leading the charge on a bunch of fast paced original songs and covers like the ‘70s soul song I’m a Full Grown Man which declares manhood as a method of madness, a subject returned to again in I’m A Good Man. This is a very specific sound that is a continuation of what Barrence Whitfield has done in the past and as such will doubtless please the faithful, while others may need oven gloves to handle the heat. The songs like The Claw and Rock and Roll Baby declares a new dance of derangement and delight. But on occasion they take things a little slower at his declaration that he is a simple man but also a cursed one on Adjunct Street. Full Moon tn The Daylight Sky rounds off the album at less frantic pace and asks the unanswerable question “why must I lie?” about a man who is unsure of his intentions maybe, but one who takes action none-the-less. It has the unsettling quality of a Hitchcock film, something that is reflected in Katherine Coffey’s The Birds and Vertigo inspired cover. Peter Berwick 'The Legend of Tyler Doohan' - Little Class Peter Berwick is rough-voiced singer/songwriter who is more mid-period Steve Earle than Bruce Springsteen. He is happy to be called a ‘cowpunk’ pioneer. That may be where he is best placed on this thirteen track album of unsophisticated rough and ready roots rock. His lived-in voice tears up these self-written songs with an abandonment and menace, but he also takes a more relaxed approach on songs like Cried my Last Tear and the acoustic Check-Out Time and Wait. Ain’t Goin’ Back to Memphis and See You in Hell are pure cowpunk in attitude. Between those two points you get a bunch of stories that deal with life in the raw. The title track is a song based on the true story of a nine year old youngster who lost his life rescuing his family in a trailer park fire. The Legend of Tyler Doohan is not pretty or polite as befits the nature of such a harrowing tale. Small Town Blues is a self-explanatory slice of reality that is delivered with sadness in Berwick’s sandpaper voice of the ages. Everything’s Waiting takes a more hopeful view while listing the nature of empty dreams, but implore that everything is waiting for those who can hang on to those dreams. The album is subtitled Other Tales of Victory and Defeat and seems full of the latter, with a little of the former to keep thinks hopeful. Producer Drew Burasco has given the album a live feel that allows the band free rein to give the songs some energy that is a far cry from the polished sounds emanating from Nashville. In a live situation Berwick is the kind of performer who is likely to give his all and he does so here. The result is not going to be for everyone, but for many who yearn for the early days of insurgent country, then this is an album that should be on your horizon. Mike Barth 'Dance This!' - Self Release Barth is a member of the bands The Polkats and The Stone Hill Allstars. Barth’s solo album is, as it title suggests, something that aims to get the feet moving. A mix of roots, pop, folk, reggae and more, it is a pretty uplifting affair. Members of the Allstars join him on this outing of original songs, bar his version of Buddy Holly’s Words of Love and one other song, A Thousand Times written by Polecats member John Shock. One of the songs is an ode to cooked chicken called, not unsurprisingly, Big Piece Of Chicken which features guest vocals from Linda Nelson. This song kind of gives you an idea of the over all brightness of the album. Barth delivers a nice version of Words of Love that sits somewhere between the Holly version and that of the Beatles who could be said to be an influence here in their period up to Revolver. Energy called Love has the feel of commercial reggae. But there are moments when the subject gets a little darker, when our man has women troubles and is wrapped up tight in a Blanket of Misery. But if you didn’t listen too closely the overall tone is still quite chirpy. Drink it All Day is a fast paced train-rhythm song that has a rootsy feel. The OWS and Me is about a man working at the railroad yard and has a fact effective guitar break. Grease Step, takes a different approach, but still has a smile on its face. The album closes with the aforementioned A Thousand Times which is about reaching the end of your tether with someone you care for but still find yourself reaching break point with. It is effective in its simple guitar and voice delivery, which contrasts nicely with the more arranged and produced songs that precede it. This is Barth’s baby - with his songs, his production and his direction and its versatility reminds of an album that a band like 10cc might have done, not so much in actual sound but more in overall feel. Dance This! Is clever, but not overly so, and an album that somewhere along its course will set your toes tapping and maybe put a smile on your face.
I am always on the lookout for new and interesting things that are food related. So when I heard about a new spice shop that had opened up in the South Hills—Savvy Spices, I knew that I just had to check it out. I am constantly on a quest to find good quality herbs and spices because I cook and bake so frequently. Really good quality spices are hard to come by—trust me because I have scoured the city looking for them. I was curious and I wanted to see what made this shop so different than the others that are around. As I drove up to Savvy Spices, I was warmly greeted at the door by the owners, Dave and Deb Johnson. They asked me if I had any questions and wanted to know if I was looking for something specific. I looked around the shop, taking in all of the sights, the sounds and the smells. The aromas flowed; it was as if my sense of smell was on overload. I did not know which new and exotic spice I wanted to smell first. Dave and I chatted while he showed me some of the unique aspects of this amazing store. I seemed to have a plethora of questions to ask him. Dave and Deb are the owners, but they are also the designers of the custom blends combinations that they have in the store. They are both gastronomes who love to cook and experiment with food and spice amalgamations. Deb has a chemistry background; she is a former chemistry teacher. She has a passion for cooking with a vast knowledge about spices and their relationship to food. Dave has a chemistry background as well. He shares the same love for cooking as his wife. They take their knowledge about spices one step further; they know these spices as a spice anthropologists would, including history, usage and origin. Dave strives to find the finest quality spices available because that is what he and Deb like to cook with. This includes traveling around the globe to find these spices as well as doing research on them. What is impressive about this spice duo is they know about every spice that they have in their store. However because of their foodie side, they can also tell you how to cook with it and how it can be used in a recipe. They have developed recipes for their customers demonstrating the various uses of their spices, including several for their spice and herb blends. I asked them about a spice that I have had trouble locating and that I can only get back home in New England, it is called Portuguese Allspice. Despite their intrinsic knowledge about spices, they had not heard of this type of regional seasoning. Dave and Deb were stymied. Immediately they went to work searching their references to find out more about it. Deb consulted her big book of spices; Dave began searching on the internet. Dave immediately found out about the Portuguese All Spice. He said “I can make this for you….or bring me some (a sample), let me look at it and I can custom blend some for you.” “This is the only shop in town doing (this type of) custom spice blends,” he assured me. I was awe struck by this. At this time, I watched as a customer had come in to pick up a special order spice blend. Dave told me that he just had made a blend for a client and that this is what makes his store unique. He can do this for his customers where other stores cannot. Savvy Spice is a different type of spice store because it custom blends spices by hand for a customer and tries to find exotic spices for consumers who have trouble locating them. This is like a foodie’s playground, a dream come true. Dave told me that he “hand blends all of their spice blends in small batches.” There are only a small number of bottles and containers on the shelves in the shop. By doing this, it avoids spices sitting around and becoming stale. “Once again this is something no other local spice shop is doing,” he tells me. Savvy Spice offers small batches of hand blended custom spices, special order spices for customers and high quality dried herbs spices that are like no others. I asked him “what took him so long to get to Pittsburgh?” Dave laughed and told me some of the larger cities have custom spices shops like this and he felt that “Pittsburgh was ready for a shop like this.” The standard spices are available and they are very good. For example the dried oregano is so fresh smelling and bright, much like the dill and the chives. The vast array of salts that are in stock is amazing; everything a person will need from baking to barbecuing and cooking. The Smoked Salt is divine, perfect for the added smoky flavor in a dish. The same could be said for the peppercorns as well; black, red, green, pink, white and Szechuan. The chili pepper selection is magnificent; the Indian crushed red chili, is insanely spicy and not for the faint of heart. I spotted the saffron, and it is the Valencia Spanish Saffron. This is not packed at the store, but brought into it. This is beautiful Spanish saffron that is brightly colored; it will be a perfect addition for my risotto. Then I came upon the Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans and I was stopped in my tracks. These are the most beautiful and fragrant vanilla beans I have ever seen. They are sublime. The smell of vanilla is so strong with these beans, they are firm and moist and the best I have found. I thought of all of the wonderful things that I would make with magnificent vanilla beans. I was intrigued by their custom herb and spice blends. There is an entire section in the store devoted to this. There are common everyday blends as well as many others; Chili Powder, Lemon Pepper Blends, Poultry Seasoning and Herbs de Provence. I noticed there was an array of blends made for all types type of cooking; French fry Seasoning, Garam Marsala, Gumbo File (Cajun), Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, Tailgate Grillin’ Spice, Vegetable Dust and Tuscan Spice Blend and many others. Deb pointed out that the Tuscan Spice Blend is their best seller and it is a great to dipping spice. Now she had my attention. Good olive oil sprinkled with spices and then you dip crusty Italian bread into it. Yes that is my kind of dish. I knew that I had to try this spice blend. I gathered my treats and headed home. My mind was wondering what I was going to do with my new treasures, especially my new dipping spice. I drove past the bakery and bought a loaf of Ciabatta bread. I would try it out tonight as soon as my husband got home. That night, I eagerly dove into the new spice blend. I dipped my bread into the extra virgin olive mixed with the Tuscan Spice Blend, and it was really, really, very good. The mix of spices, combined with rich olive taste from the oil was divine. It was the perfect accompaniment with Ciabatta bread. However, my mind began to wonder what else I could make with this and immediately I knew; Italian Peasant Bread Pizza. When I was growing up, my mom and Grandmother would make bread pizza for my brother and me. It is a simple dish, a true peasant delight. They would take stale Italian bread (rolls) cut in half, slather tomato sauce and spices on it, sprinkle it with some olive oil and grated Italian Cheese and bake it in the oven until golden brown. I knew that this Tuscan Spice Blend would be perfect in this recipe. Later that week, I made the Italian Peasant Bread Pizza for my family and it was absolutely delicious. The spices worked so well with the tomatoes, cheese and bread, it really was the perfect combination. I made it 2 ways, one plain Italian cheese and one with pepperoni and mozzarella. Both ways came out great. This is a terrific dish to make; a perfect snack, appetizer or light dinner. It is versatile and forgiving dish because almost any toppings or bread will work; you are only limited by your imagination. I am sharing with you my recipe for Italian Peasant Bread Pizza. I hope that you enjoy it. Mangia Bene, Nicky Or on Facebook at Or on Twitter: Nicky D Cooks Italian Peasant Bread Pizza Ingredients: - 1 Loaf Italian bread - 8 oz can tomato sauce - 1 heaping tsp olive oil - ¼ lb sliced pepperoni - 1 -2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - 1- 2 teaspoon Tuscan Spice Blend - Tuscan Spice Blend.

TOKYO--Nomura Holdings Inc. (8604.TO) posted a sharp net profit gain in the October-December period with all three of its business segments reporting higher revenue and all regions profitable. Japan's largest securities house, which has embarked on a $1 billion cost-cutting plan at its wholesale business through the fiscal year ending March 2014, racked up a Y20.1 billion net profit in the three-month period compared with a Y2.81 billion net profit in the July-September quarter. In the same period a year earlier, Nomura posted a Y17.82 billion net profit. Citing factors unrelated to its core businesses, Nomura said revenue dropped slightly to Y458.98 billion from Y481.50 billion a year earlier. Nomura, like its global counterparts, has embarked on an aggressive cost-cutting program to weather the harsh current business conditions. "We had a solid third quarter with all three business divisions and all regions profitable on a pretax basis. Pretax income from our core business segments jumped more than four-fold compared with the last quarter, and we reported our fifth straight quarter of pretax profits," said Koji Nagai, Nomura's Group CEO. "Wholesale had its best quarter for pretax income in three years driven by a marked improvement in revenues and tangible progress in its cost reduction program. Fixed income remained a key contributor to wholesale earnings," Mr. Nagai said. Junko Nakagawa, the company's chief financial officer, said at a news conference that the sale of the company's U.K. property management firm, Annington, brought about Y16 billion. Nomura doesn't disclose earnings forecasts. Its financial results are based on U.S. accounting standards.
In this article we are going to learn how to refer to a cell in VBA. When using one of the most common task is to refer to a cell or a range of cell and then do something to it like changing the format of the cell or entering a formula in the cell. An example is highlighting the cell A1. You can usually do this in one statement that identifies the range and also changes a property or applies a method. A Range object in Visual Basic can be either a single cell or a range of different cells. Two methods to refer to a cell in VBA are: the range method and the cells method. These method are further discussed down below. The Range Method: This method allows you to refer to a Cell in VBA by using its address. I.e. Range ("A1") This is simple and useful in many situations. The Cells Method: This method allows you to select a Cell by defining its numeric coordinates (row, column). I.e. Cells (1, 1) would refer to the cell in the first row of the first column, or range A1 In the following example we will use cell reference (by both the range method and cells method) to enter text in the cells. Follow these steps: test () Range ("A1") = "HELLO" Cells (2, 2) = "HOW" Range ("C3") = "ARE" Cells (4, 4) = "YOU" Range ("E5") = "DOING" Cells (6, 6) = "?" Range ("B12").Select End Sub After writing the code close the window by clicking on the cross(x) icon on the upper right side of the screen. Don't worry. Excel won't close. Explanation: The code enter text into the cells using both the range method and the cells method. The second line of code (Range (“A1”) =”Hello) causes the text “HELLO” to be entered in cell A1 using the range method. The third line of code enters the text “HOW” in cell B2 using the cells method. STEP6 This will be the result. That's it you have now successfully refer to a cell using VBA

The mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in custody Presenter Ed Heffernan - PhD Thesis Review milestone presentation Advisors Professor John McGrath (Principal Supervisor); Professor Harvey Whiteford (Associate Supervisor) Overview Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience health inequality and social disadvantage when compared to non-Indigenous Australians, the later includes an incarceration rate 13 times that of non-Indigenous Australians. From a health perspective the most significant contributor to the burden of disease for Indigenous Australians in Queensland is mental disorder. Nearly twenty five years ago the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody highlighted the over representation of Indigenous people in custody and also called for better understanding and treatment of the significant mental health challenges faced by this group. Despite this there had been no systematic research done to describe the prevalence of mental disorder for Indigenous Australians in custody. This PhD thesis examines what is understood about the interaction between mental disorder and the criminal justice system and describes for the first time the prevalence of mental disorder in a systematic and culturally informed survey of Indigenous prisoners in Queensland. The clinical and policy implications of the findings are presented as are the translational activities that have been informed by these findings. Brief Bio Ed Heffernan is a forensic psychiatrist who has worked in custodial settings for nearly twenty years. He is the Director of Queensland’s Forensic Mental Health Services and played a central role in the establishment of mental health services to people in Queensland prisons, courts and watch houses. His PhD arose in this context as it relates to one key clinical question that needed to be understood to help develop mental health services for Indigenous people in custody. He is in the final year of his PhD (PT); he has also completed a Masters of Public Health with the UQ School of Public Health.
The martyrdom of St Thomas Becket Today I share with you some words from T.S. Eliot’s play, “Murder in the Cathedral,” which is all about Becket’s death. They are applicable to all martyrs, and indeed, all Christians, for they are T.S. Eliot’s meditation on the intertwining of sorrow and joy in the Christian life..
This first clip, from the old British Pathé newsreel, shows a canoe and kayak racing in Ausburg, Germany from 1957. British Pathe stopped producing in 1970 but until that time covered a wide range of clips in brief segments, giving the latest of news updates to everyone who might not enough reading the newspaper. Sometimes these clips would play before movies at the cinema, and later they made it to TV. The first event shown is apparently the Double-scull Canadian Canoe race.What exactly is the difference between canoe slalom and kayaking? I wondered the same thing, especially because the Olympic category for the sport includes both canoe and kayak sections.. The difference is small: in the canoe the paddler uses a single bladed paddle and kneels. In a kayak the paddler sits and uses and double ended paddle. Still this leads to two very different competitions, even if some may not be able to recognize the difference. Check out the second clip (it's in German, so be aware of that) to see a more thorough look at this 1957 competition! It's pretty cool to see just what this sport was like just a decade or so after the war ended, and before it developed into the Olympic sport it is today.
Manage and Lead: The Importance of Integrating Skillfully Looking Ahead Into Your Daily Reality By Rob-Jan de Jong You’ve undoubtedly discussed this question before: what is the difference between a manager and a leader? It’s one of those ice-breaking questions often asked at off-sites to introduce the concept of leadership. Interestingly, the world of leadership theory is relatively young. Just a little over forty years ago, in 1973, Harvard professor Abraham Zaleznik was the first person to examine the difference between the roles of managers and leaders. He proposed that leaders actually have much more in common with artists than with managers. Leaders use their imagination, inspire with unconventional ideas, reframe people’s thinking and help them see the world differently, Zaleznik observed. More than managerial qualities, this requires artistic qualities. What leaders really do… The next thought leader who took a stab at it was John Kotter, another Harvard professor, in 1990. He drew some clear lines between the two roles in a classic Harvard Business Review article entitled What Leaders Really Do. Managers budget, staff, plan, solve problems - whereas leaders set direction, inspire, motivate. At a more abstract level, the aim of the manager is to create predictability: to make sure we get done what we said we would get done. The manager, in other words, prevents us from straying too far off the path we decided upon. The leader, on the contrary, aims to anticipate change, innovates with unconventional ideas and adjusts the course of the organization to changing realities. The leader often deliberately challenges the comfort zone of the current course by shedding a different light on it and exposing blind spots, thereby effecting a change of plan. We all intuitively recognize these differences, and so it’s tempting to hold on to the dichotomy between managers and leaders. But the reality is that – if you have the honor of leading a team – you are both. On a typical day you might even segue from one role right into the other: one moment you are confronting your team members with missed deadlines and instructing them to achieve some immediate results, and the next you’re walking into a brainstorm session where you are expected to share your insights into the disruptive potential of a new technology, and how this would require you and your team to set aside time to explore long-term opportunities. This kind of role switching would be challenging for just about anyone. Moreover, as we usually work under time pressure, the two roles often battle for time. The manager role tends to come out on top, because the manager primarily deals with the short term, and the leader with the long term (or, as some say, the manager deals with the urgent, the leader with the important). This means the leadership role can always be postponed until tomorrow. Or so it seems. But as you are expected to be both manager and leader, in reality you will need to maintain a careful balance if you want to make your leadership stand out. A short-term focus may produce results in the near future, but at the high risk of missing the early warning signs of change that always initially appear in your periphery. A focus on the immediate may produce quarterly results, but possibly at the cost of longer term success. That’s what caused Kodak to miss the boat on digital cameras – it wasn’t obliviousness to digitalization, but the presence of short-term oriented incentives created their blind spot. The plan versus the vision Back to Kotter and his distinction between the two roles. He added another: managers focus on the plan, whereas leaders focus on the vision. This emphasizes the importance of visioning, the art of (constructively) looking ahead. It also raises a question: how do you go about developing your visionary side when you are already overwhelmed with managerial duties and responsibilities? How can you responsibly paint that compelling picture of tomorrow and integrate that longer-term perspective into your daily duties, conversations, decisions and dilemmas? How do you step up to the plate and go from being “just” a good manager to becoming an inspiring leader? It’s this gaping hole in leadership and management theory that inspired me to dedicate 8 years to researching “the vision thing”. Almost every though leader in the field acknowledges the immense importance of having a vision as a leader, but no one ever explains how you should go about systematically developing this part of your leadership. And in the absence of any real guidance, it has become tempting to believe that some people have it and other people don’t. Fuelled by the grand, groundbreaking visions of larger-than-life leaders such as Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and JFK, we’re inclined to believe that you’re either born with this quality of arriving at innovative and disruptive future-oriented perspectives, or not. And I disagree. Increasing your visionary capacity I strongly believe that vision is first and foremost a skill, and that you can develop your visionary capacity as a leader. Naturally, as with any skill, there’s nature and nurture: some people find it easier to activate their imagination or to communicate powerfully than others. But that’s the case with every skill; some people find it easier to serve a tennis ball than others. What’s important is that anyone can significantly develop their visionary side with the help of several clearly defined practices. In my work with executives, and as laid out in my book “Anticipate, The Art of Leading by Looking Ahead”, I zero in on the practical aspect of the mysterious vision thing. The book uses an integrated, multidisciplinary framework that blends strategy with psychology. It discusses the appropriate mindset, the necessary ingredients for vision and the elements of communication that turn your story from largely conventional and technocratic into intriguing, authentic and inspiring. Above all, I work with a series of practices that stem from a straightforward development framework on growing visionary capacity. This framework consists of the two most fundamental skills: 1. the ability to see change early; and 2. the ability to connect the dots. The first skill focuses on early noticing: becoming better at distinguishing the signal from the noise in the information overload we face every day. The second skill focuses on (responsibly) finding coherence in the many developments, trends and potential disruptions you will need to integrate in order to arrive at a “big picture”. Both skills can be made very practical; for instance, I introduce the practice of FuturePriming, which is effectively a low-effort practice that easily becomes part of your daily routine and allows your early-noticing side to develop and shine. Given your dual manager-leader role, vision isn’t just a skill you can develop - it’s a skill you should develop. It’s a privilege to lead, but it’s also an obligation to lead. You have the ability to touch people’s lives, infuse them with meaning and purpose. Your vision is probably the most important tool in your leadership backpack to do so. Abraham Zaleznik considered vision to be “the hallmark of leadership.” That’s what leadership is all about, after all: imagining a better tomorrow, developing a guiding, authentic and purposeful story, and being a source of inspiration to others.

Montvale Public Schools Winter 2019: Volume VI Issue II Superintendent's Message Dear Montvale Families: As we approach the 100th day of school, it is a good time to pause, reflect and look ahead to the rest of the school year. In thinking about the rest of the school year, I believe families and schools are becoming even more important for children to learn how to interact face-to-face, play together, and build relationships because of an increase in screen time. Research is suggesting that soft skills might be diminishing in a technology-driven world. In Montvale, we strive to strike a balance. We want our students to learn how to make good decisions when using technology. We want our students to understand the importance of communication and collaboration. We want students to have strong soft skills and realize that by being disconnected occasionally from their devices, they will become more connected as a school community. Darren Petersen Board of Education Members Sworn In! The Rossig Family The DiFiore Family MEET YOUR TEACHERS OF THE YEAR! Memorial Elementary School Teacher of the Year: Mrs. Geralyn Westervelt Number of Years Teaching/Librarian: I was a substitute teacher in Montvale for nine years. I have been the media specialist for eight years. Favorite Book: I have to choose three. To Kill a Mockingbird (Adult), Fish in a Tree (Middle Grade), Three Bears in a Boat (Picture Book). Favorite Movie: Dead Poets Society Favorite Vacation: Long Beach Island Hobbies: Reading, cooking, food shopping, entertaining, fitness, especially anything on the water. My latest passion is paddle boarding. Favorite Type of Food: Italian Your Favorite Teacher and Why: My 2nd grade teacher because she let me clap erasers and made me feel special. Also, my high school English teacher, Mrs. Casey because she instilled a love of reading in me with her enthusiasm and insight. She also made me feel successful as a writer. Why Did I Become a Teacher/Librarian: From the time I was little, I have always loved books. My parents shared their appreciation for literature, art, and music with their children and I carried that passion to college, where I majored in literature. After having my own four children, I had a renewed interest in children's books. This led me to working in schools, getting my teaching certification and my library media specialist certification. It is my dream job. Fieldstone Middle School Teacher of the Year: Mr. Victor Conti Number of Years Teaching: 5 Favorite Book: Life of Pi by Yann Martel Favorite Movie: Rocky Hobbies: My hobbies include playing the guitar and piano, watching and coaching sports, and traveling. Through my travels, I have visited the western United States (including Hawaii and Alaska), six European countries, and most recently, Brazil. Favorite Vacation Spot: Virginia Beach, Virginia. Favorite Type of Food: Italian, specifically chicken parmesan. My Favorite Teacher and Why: My favorite teacher was my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Keyser. It was in the middle of fifth grade when my family and I moved to a new town. Of course, this meant leaving my old school and friends behind and starting over. Naturally, I was a little nervous about this change. But Mrs. Keyser, being the first teacher in my new school, did an incredible job at creating an inclusive environment within her classroom which allowed me to seamlessly acclimate to the new school and make new friends. Because of her patience and compassion, the challenges usually accompanied with being the “new kid” were less daunting. I am forever grateful for having Mrs. Keyser as a teacher. Why Did I Become a Teacher: What ultimately led to my pursuit of a career in education was the opportunity to have a positive influence on children. Many jobs I had throughout high school required working with children. It was from these experiences when I first started to consider becoming an educator. The memories and relationships I have formed with students throughout my five years of teaching have validated my decision for becoming a teacher; it is a truly rewarding profession and I could not see myself doing anything else.

Editor's Note: Today in Palm Springs, CA I am wearing Ann Taylor blouse, AG Jeans, and Michael Kors flats. Day six in Palm Springs! Things are moving right along and looking gorgeous! It is always such a thrill to see my work come to fruition. Like any out of town installs there are a few hitches in our install but we are dealing with them and moving right along. Today I decide to do a blog out of Palm Springs Life Magazine on a Alexander home. Alexander construction company built over 2000 homes in the late 50's and 60's in the Palm Springs area. These mid-century homes are all the rage again as they are all over the country. Since I am mid-century in age I like that mid-century is in style! I love the fact that designer Michael Ostrow wants to get rid of the notions that mid-century homes require mid-century furnishings. The furnishings of this home are fresh, clean and full of happy colors but very much in keeping with the style of the home. Enjoy the article and enjoy the touch of Palm Springs in your day today! It's Wednesday everyone Hump Day!! Hope your week has been productive so far---mine certainly has! In a strange way the outside of the house reminds me of the Brady Bunch but in a one-story version. I love the blue door! The Living Room has such a cool fireplace and I love the color of the walls. I am so happy that Trovus floors are coming back into Vogue because I think they are so clean and beautiful! My employees at Bloomingdales called me "Kay Yellow" because I love yellow so much! I love the yellow walls and the yellow upholster in this room! The art over the sofa has such a commanding presence! I love the blues and greens used in this room. So soft and pretty bringing the outdoors in! The light fixture is very mid-century but is so back in showroom floors now. The geometric wallpaper in this Dining Room set the theme of this whole room. It is a piece of art in its own way! I love the casual Dining Chairs. The lighting in the room alludes to a skylight which I always love outdoor light coming in. Beautiful white piano and I adore the light fixtures! I love how minimalist this room is. I actually have those exact chairs in my room at home that were from the 50's! Amazing! I love the piece of art over the fireplace and the colored rocks that are in the base of the fireplace. Palm Springs Life Magazine Article " Knock Three Times" By Maggie Downs Steel Magnolia Tip # 63: Your appearance reflects your discipline. Discipline is the key to life! Boy have I been focused this week! Can I tell I am away from home? French fries sounded quick and easy to eat in the bar. Not very nutritionist but one of my favorite meals! I love this oldie but goodie!

Kretschmann Family Organic Farm take on CSA CSA—Community Supported Agriculture. We take seriously and fully the community aspect of CSA. We play that forward and backward. We feel our agriculture sponsors or supports the community as well--thus creating an ASC, Agriculture Supported Community. For us, it’s never just about taking from either the community or the earth. Our vocation is to provide the community with food. In doing this, we always see as part of our mission the health and well-being of our human community. This is accomplished several ways: providing varied organically grown nutrient dense produce; providing information about health benefits and ways of cooking these foods so as to make them attractive and pleasurable to eat. In addition to feeding the body, we feel it’s critically important to feed the soul by farming in a manner so as to promote aesthetic and psychological pleasure to our neighbors. Another community our agriculture supports is the wider living ecological community of our farm and our region. We take organic in that wide definition of a whole whose parts are mutually related. Our farm is all about encouraging life. We nurture and complement natural processes bringing the earth’s minerals to life--from the billions of simple microscopic forms of life, to the higher soil creepers, worms,... plants, insects, and animals. We are compelled as well to plan for and support the local community which comes after us—our children and grandchildren. As much as humanly possible, we are trying to leave our spot of Western Pennsylvania in better condition than previously—soils with greater variety of life, more organic matter, better drained, of better tilth, more productive generally. We try to leave a legacy of permanent plantings for the next generation. In as much as the community surely supports our agriculture, that same community makes it possible for that agriculture to support those in peril of not having access to such nutritious local foods. Together with all members of our CSA we make it possible for the vulnerable to access high quality fresh food even when they couldn’t otherwise afford it. If you feel you can't access organic produce, contact us and we will make that possible. Community Supported Agriculture + Agriculture Supported Community= Abundant Life

An SEO writer develops content that is optimized for search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. When content is optimized for SEO, the search engines can easily identify the relevant keywords and phrases which can boost the organic search results and traffic to your website. While content is and has been the key to boosting the rank, it’s important to find the best SEO writer that will help increase your ROI. SEO Writing can be either GOOD or BAD. Can you tell the difference? Good SEO writing will help your website and boost the ranking while Bad SEO writing can hurt and you rank would of course drop. You need to understand the difference before you hire the SEO writer. Don’t hire a writer who might end up damaging the success of your website through poor writing. Make the wrong decision and it can ruin the domain authority, reduce the traffic or worse, your site may be penalized by Google. Never forget any drop in rank could take months to repair. How do you know if Search Engines don’t like your content? Search Engine Algorithms work based on a high percentage favoring keywords and content. What would happen if search engines didn’t follow structure but instead delivered only content to the users because of keywords? The main concept of SEO and SEO writing is to provide value to the users query and by boosting the page rank through keyword relevancy, sentence structure, site performance, speed and many another optimization strategies. Otherwise search results could be anything and nothing at the same time. Basically the search would be useless. How Google and other Search Engines think Search engines always aim to deliver the best content to the users based on relevance of the content, authority of the site, trust factor and the user engagement. Though Search Engine Algorithms are designed to detect the best content, keyword stuffing, hiding keywords, spam linking do not boost the traffic and eventually, your website loses its Value. Google’s AI is much smarter than you think. If you are looking for an SEO writer, you need an SEO WRITER who can boost your investment for your business and website. How to find the ideal SEO Writer for your business? Most businesses offer less pay for their SEO content without considering the heavy drawbacks. Horrible articles will not help you in winning the best placement in search engine ranking. A good writer understands how to create content that is meaningful and error-free. Eye catching and entertaining to read. They will take care of the punctuation, dialogue flow and grammar which is essential for good content. Finding the right writer takes time, so be patient. A Writer who knows how to work closely with the SEO expert Good SEO Writer knows how to work with your SEO expert. They should talk, discuss and define the content by working together. The results will be good only when the writer coordinates with the SEO expert to make sure all needed content flows. An SEO writer is not the same thing as an SEO expert. Writing is only about 50% of the rank boosting effort. Hiring a team is always best. A Writer who writes for readers rather than for Search engines A writer knows that his content is posted on the internet for search engines to crawl and to help rank the website. However, as a good writer, the focus must be on the readers who will experience the writing rather than the search engine algorithm that blindly rank the website. Customers/readers should be the first priority for writing and the second priority is on SEO aspects. As noted above,” Google is smart.” A writer who understands the needs of the audience As discussed earlier, a good writer writes for people, humans, you and me. How do they achieve this? Undoubtedly by doing research on their readers and the subject of the content. A writer would be considered excellent only if they are able to write articles that interest the reader. Keeping an eye on bounce rate is a good tool to measure how your audience is reacting to the content. Understanding the needs of the audience is essential to being a good SEO writer. Understands the trends of SEO but not as an SEO expert A good writer need not be an (overall) SEO expert but should have a good understanding of SEO. The writer should be able to use the keywords naturally without stuffing them. Keywords must be placed in the title, in the first paragraph, and in the heading. A good SEO writer knows how long the content needs to be and should be able to avoid unnecessary elements that can hurt the SEO effort. It’s good to avoid writers who do not have basic SEO knowledge. A writer who can deliver viral content A good writer is not someone who just delivers quick articles. They take time to understand the trends and the need for the client. They write viral content that people would love to share. Every business needs a writer who can write exciting contents that will go viral on different platforms. A writer who understands the Art Of The Headline Content is normally self-promotional so writers need to write content that has meaningful headlines that stands out and grabs the readers attention. Content should have enough personality that it connects easily with its readers. You can try playing with it, make it fun or trick the mind. If you can get the reads interest from the headline you have a much better chance of them continuing to read. Overall, an SEO writer should be able to create content that is meaningful for the readers and follow any existing marketing material & branding. Just remember that good writers aren’t cheap. If they are, your barking up the wrong tree. Saving money now will cost you 10x more later.

I’m not 36 Weeks until tomorrow, but today was my Strep B appt. Last Friday, the chiropractor said that I was showing signs of being pretty close. She said things like, “I’m seeing things that I usually see in 37-38 week stage.”– things like extra swelling in my lower back and tailbone (indicates baby is moving down and HURTING ME, hence the swelling), and lots of relaxin in my joints that wasn’t there the week before. It didn’t surprise me one bit, because I definitely feel like things are close– again, with the whole “I feel like he’s getting ready to fall out!” sensation. So it also doesn’t surprise me that the midwife checked today and found that I am already 1 cm dilated! She said the baby’s head was so low, she could only feel him from the ears/neck down while pushing from the outside (how they determine the position of the baby). After checking, she added that his head is at “0 station” (-3 is when they are all happy inside the uterus, +5 is when they are “crowning”). Any lower, and my water will probably break. Up to 157 pounds now–just 1 pound gained since last month. This also doesn’t totally surprise me, because I can only eat small small amounts (HEARTBURN SUCKS) and I feel nauseous several times a day anyways. Oh, happy day! Tomorrow, all is safe and they will let me deliver. Let the games begin, Mr. Anthony! Mama is so tired of being pregnant! Wow! Hang in there. I’m excited for you. When you get to where you feel like you can’t do it, know that you can and you’re almost there!

With Sea of Thieves not far off on the horizon, Rare has released a video detailing how ship customization works. Rare hasn’t been coy about the ways in which pirate customization works, explaining that pretty much every aspect of your buccaneer is up for changing. Ship customization, however, has been pretty quiet beyond possible hints in the beta. The newest developer diary explains that you can basically build the ship from the sails to the hull. (Please visit the site to view this media) I’m pretty excited to spend way too long picking out a good masthead that I feels matches my personality as a pirate. Sea of Thieves is releasing on March 26 for Xbox One and PC.
Ch…Ch…Changes Turn and face the strain. And I have. In fact, I believe I have embraced this adventure much However, I don’t anticipate any change in my attitude, really. I am one who immediately knows if I don’t like something (or someone, which doesn’t happen very often). Anyway, here I am in Xi’an, residing in the middle of the old Xidian University campus. Kay and Zeph know it well. I cannot overstate how easy it has been, how smooth a transition, how quickly I have settled into a routine not unlike my routine in St. Joe. Post-Jet Lag, I have been up by 6 a.m., out the door for my walk to the ‘bucks for a grande iced decaf Americano and croissant. Back to the apartment, check email, work on syllabi, have some fruit for lunch—albeit dragonfruit, which has stark white flesh with small black seeds, or a peach (mildly, pleasantly sweet with firm white flesh—my fav so far). Then out and about for the afternoon. Out and about has been…well, Yikes! There are 8 million people in Xi’an (my hosts say 10 mil) and it seems like there are as many vehicles. I check my phone’s weather app for the air quality reading and, on most days, it has been in the moderate-to-unhealthy range. At this writing, the air quality is good, with one pic showing a main “ring” (road) around the city center, and haze in the distance. It is shot from a pedestrian overpass that I often take to get to the super market (Ren Ren Le) and the aforementioned coffee shop. There is a hierarchy regarding the traffic, though, so getting places can be tricky. It seems to me that cars are top dog here, even out-ranking buses. Cars have the right of way. No mistaking. Period. Drivers often don’t look where they’re going and they certainly don’t give a flying…well, they don’t care if you’re coming at them or not. They take the path, the lane, the turn and never look back. I took Kay’s bicycle out for a short trip today (my second such outing) and I rode the brake nearly the whole time. After cars, and with buses a close second, the scooters (all-electric, no gasoline powered) are next. I can’t tell you how many times I had to stop for some scooter as it came from the side or from behind me. Maybe I’m too courteous a driver, but, nahhh…these folks are very aggressive. I’m amazed that there aren’t more accidents. In fact, haven’t seen one yet. After bike riders, pedestrians are at the bottom of the totem pole. When I walk down sidewalks, on the street near the curb, at intersections, I find myself constantly looking over each shoulder. It’s possible that a car or scooter or bicycle might come up from behind, honking, telling me to get out of the way. It’s all very fast-paced, not unlike any big city, though. New York comes to mind. In emails to a few of you, I have stated many times how nice everyone has been. Tiantian, Jianhua, and Juan are terrific. Tiantian took me to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda—Tong Dynasty; 7th to 10th centuries, A.D.—for a day, which was fascinating, gorgeous. Tiantian translated some of the history of that dynasty, the players, poets, calligraphers, and explorers. Jianhua has turned me onto some of the local restaurants along the back street of Xidian University. I had lunch at Juan’s home with Simon and Leo (remember them?). She’s a great cook and so far it has been my favorite meal—simply down home, family fare with veggies, rice, tofu, fruit—delicious. A new friend named Aks (yes, it sounds like the metathesis of “ask” that we often hear) took me for a ride on the back of his scooter. We went to Metro, which is a combination of Costco/Sam’s Club/Target. That ride went beyond Yikes. It was more like, well… Those of you who know me can finish that sentence. I was able to buy things like olive oil and Italian pasta, and there are many other “western” items that I’m sure I’ll get into. The fall semester doesn’t actually begin until September 1st. My schedule is odd, but I do remember writing Yanping that I would teach what they want me to teach and when. So, all day Monday from 8:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. And then Fridays from 8:30 until about 12:30 (I think. I’m still working on understanding the schedule of classes, times, length.) Three of the four classes are the same as what Kay taught—Oral English, Written English, and Newspaper Reading. The fourth is Literature for graduate students. That one should be fun. Four courses, six class periods. No problem. It has now been two weeks. I can say that I’m fascinated by the people, the culture—what I have seen of it, so far—and how children appear to be the same everywhere. They laugh, they play, and they seem to be in the moment at all times. Now, if I can just remember to do that often while I’m here.
Game theoretic models for a closed-loop supply chain with stochastic demand and backup supplier under dual channel recycling Abstract In this paper, a dual-channel closed-loop supply chain is consi-dered for waste recycling. The manufacturer produces the finished product using recycled and recyclable waste materials as well as fresh raw materials. The recyclable wastes collected by the collector are supplied to the manufacturer directly or indirectly via a third party (recycler). Two different game models are considered for two different cases of recycling: recycling by the manufacturer and recycling by the recycler. If the collector fails to supply the required amount of waste materials, the backup supplier meets up the shortfall by supplying fresh raw materials. The customer demand is assumed to be stochastic. Optimal results for the two game models are obtained through numerical examples. It is seen that ex-ante pricing commitment i.e, fixed markup strategy is beneficial for the whole supply chain as well as the supply chain entities, compared to the decentralized policy. From the numerical study, it is also observed that when the recyclability degree of wastes increases, the expected total profit increases for the whole supply chain. A higher price sensitivity of customer demand leads to lower profit for the chain members. Downloads References Ageron, B., Gunasekaran, A., & Spalnzani, A. (2012).
