The United States is designating as a foreign terrorist organization the military force charged with zealously guarding and advancing the principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that the designation against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — part of what he said is a “maximum pressure campaign” against Tehran — would go into effect in one week.
The IRGC includes the domestic-centered Basij militia, which has violently suppressed peaceful protests against the regime, and the Quds Force, which concentrates on operations abroad.
“This is the first time that the United States has designated a part of another government as an FTO. We’re doing it because the Iranian regime’s use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft makes it fundamentally different from any other government. This historic step will deprive the world’s leading state sponsor of terror the financial means to spread misery and death around the world,” Pompeo said at the State Department.
“The blood of the 603 American soldiers the Iranian regime has found to have killed in Iraq is on his hands and on the hands of the IRGC more broadly,” he said.
“A(nother) misguided election-eve gift to Netanyahu. A(nother) dangerous U.S. misadventure in the region,” Zarif added on Monday.
Pompeo dismissed Zarif’s reaction. “We have made clear both publicly and privately that an attack on the United States of America is something that they ought to think more than twice about,” he told reporters.

great, good, easy, hungry and many.
This product had a total of 727 reviews as of our last analysis date on Mar 26 2019.
Now if i'd only stick to the recipes.
Encouraged to go on line to see pictures of the recipes not shown in the book.
I am not sure if i bought this new or used.
But to be fair, there are lots of new ideas in her book and i think most any weight watcher would not find their money wasted here.

LAWRENCE — Two juniors at the University of Kansas will compete as finalists for Harry S. Truman Scholarships, which provide up to $30,000 for graduate study.
The awards are given to college juniors for leadership in public service. The Harry S. Truman Foundation reviewed 840 applications from 346 institutions before selecting its finalists.
From that pool, the foundation selected 199 finalists from 143 schools. Those students will now compete for about 60 awards.
The foundation will interview finalists in March and April before announcing the 2019 Class of Truman Scholars in late April.
Congress established the Truman Scholarship Foundation in 1975 as the federal memorial to President Harry S. Truman.

It is difficult to determine the dividend on ETFs without first understanding what type of ETF is being purchased. An ETF is an Exchange Traded Fund, meaning it is actually more like a portfolio of a variety of investment option. The ETF trades at the value of the index of its holdings during a given trading day. Depending on what the ETF consists of, then, there is a different expected dividend.
One popular type of ETF is a government bond ETF, and this will not pay dividends in the same way a fund consisting of stocks will. ETFs made up of government bonds, though, tend to be more stable over time. They provide a consistent, expected return on investment. Though this return is predictable, it is not a high return option.
An ETF that consists of various commodities will have a higher potential return and higher dividend payments. The downside with this option is the increased risk of purchasing commodities, which tend to be more susceptible to market swings. ETFs are not typically open to private investors. They are provided as an option to institutional investors. If you are a client of an institution with a good record in commodities trading, you may benefit from higher dividends with a commodity ETF.

Is Gov. Scott Walker the New Ronald Reagan?
Could Republican Wisconsin governor Scott Walker be called The New Ronald Reagan?
In the opinion of Nikitas3.com he could. Walker is a dynamo. This man is very special and he recently surged in political polls after a famous speech he gave in Iowa.
Nikitas3.com has long been an admirer of governor Walker who was first elected in the Republican Rout of November 2010. After he reined in the public-employee unions in Wisconsin he faced an angry union-backed recall election in June 2012 and won it easily (Nikitas3.com cheered in an editorial). He won re-election by 5 points in November 2014 in a state that has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984 (Ronald Reagan). Nikitas3.com has mentioned Walker many times as a potential presidential candidate.
Wow. That is what Republicans/conservatives need to do every day, not shy away from strong action in order to please Democrats and the media like so many do. Walker’s conservative reforms have succeeded in a state with an ultra-leftist capital like Madison and a history of liberal politics. This proves once again that conservative, capitalist principles always resonate with people who are looking for real solutions to their problems, and Wisconsin had many.
Scott Walker appears to be preparing to run for president of the United States and he looks surprisingly like another principled, outspoken conservative governor, Ronald Wilson Reagan of California. For those too young to have experienced the Reagan presidency (1981-89) it was an inspiration every single day.
Most Americans have not thought much about Scott Walker unless they have followed his career, seen him speak or read about his accomplishments. I was very impressed with some of his achievements that even I did not know about (see below for a review).
Nikitas3.com believes that Walker definitely could be elected president of the United States, that he would just need to radiate his natural Christian confidence and optimism and point to the positive results he produced in Wisconsin.
In Walker’s first term (January 2011 to January 2015) he eliminated a $3.6 billion deficit and double-digit tax increases both of which he inherited from his Democrat predecessor. He turned it into a surplus, and has cut taxes by $2 billion. Wouldn’t it be great to see that on a national level? We could easily with a president Walker.
Scottwalker.com reports: In (incumbent Democrat Wisconsin governor) Jim Doyle’s last term, Wisconsin lost 133,000 jobs. Since (Walker was elected in 2010) we’ve gained more than 100,000 new jobs. In that last Doyle term (2006-2010) Wisconsin lost 27,000 businesses. Since then, we added more than 23,000 businesses. Wisconsin is 3rd in the Midwest for private sector job creation over the year … Unemployment this summer is at a five and a half year low. …After years of increases, property taxes are going down. In fact, property taxes on a typical home will be lower in 2014 than they were in 2010. Scott Walker wants them to be even lower by 2018. Nikitas3.com comment: Doyle was a typical Democrat who catered to the public-employee unions. He created a big deficit and jacked up taxes and acted like there was no alternative. There is.
Scottwalker.com reports: Wisconsin moved from being ranked 41st for business to the 14th best state in the country (Chief Executive Magazine annual ranking). And the latest (chamber of commerce) survey shows that 96% of the employers say Wisconsin is headed in the right direction compared to just 10% four years ago. Nikitas3.com comment: See, friends, how easy it is to create jobs and prosperity and optimism with the right leaders and policies? Walker is just such a leader.
Scottwalker.com reports: Within minutes of taking the oath of office (in January 2011), my first official act as governor was to begin to implement a comprehensive Emergency Jobs Plan. I declared an economic emergency and called a special session of the legislature that began on inauguration day and did not end until the legislature passed measures that included, but were not limited to: Cutting taxes on small businesses; Curbing frivolous lawsuits that drove costs up; Eliminating the state tax on Health Savings Accounts; Reforming the Department of Commerce into a true Economic Development Agency; Immediately convening a Waste, Fraud and Abuse Commission that was intent on curtailing wasteful spending at all levels of state government. Nikitas3.com comment: Awesome. He did this immediately after taking office. No parties, no celebrations, no photo-ops. This guy got down to work immediately. He meant business and he acted quickly. That is a real conservative. He cares about the people of Wisconsin, not about the well-being of his political cronies.
Scottwalker.com reports: Wisconsin’s agricultural industry contributes $59 billion to our economy each year and provides for more than one in every ten Wisconsin jobs. … I have been working to establish policies that allow farmers to thrive. It is taking some time, but our efforts are working and exports of agriculture products are up 24%. Nikitas3.com comment: Many of us live in places without many farms. Wisconsin is an agricultural state. And these hard-working farmers are some of the most important people in America. Good for Walker, that he supported their labors. Democrats generally ignore our farmers. The Democrat voter base is urban and black.
Scottwalker.com reports: (Mrs. Walker) and I have a strong belief in the protection of all innocent life. That is why our family believes in the sanctity of all human life – from conception to natural death. I am 100% pro-life. In my campaign for governor, I am proud to have been endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life, which recognized my long commitment to right-to-life issues and noted that my election “would greatly contribute to building a culture of life where the most vulnerable members of the human family are welcomed and protected.” Nikitas3.com comment: This is a man who has deeply-held principles. He is not afraid of the feminists or the Democrats or the media and he has triumphed repeatedly. He says what he believes. We need more elected leaders like him.

Bob informed us in 1988 that he had joined the Army in September of 1958 and retired as Staff Sgt. in 1979. He married in 1958 and they had 4 children - 2 boys who would now be 43 and 40, and 2 girls who would be 41 and 38. He divorced in 1971 and married again in 1985 and his wife Beverly, was a housewife. Bob spent 1 year in Vietnam, 3 years in Augsburg Germany, 3 years at Fort Lewis, and 3 years in Frankfurt Germany while he served in the Army. After retirement, he spent 6 months following the coastline from Seattle to Bar Harbour, Maine. He joined Burlington Northern Railroad in July of 1979 and had been living in a 26 foot travel trailer going from city to city and state to state, following the regional gangs of the railroad. He has been all the way from Seattle to Montana to California and points in between. He spent the 1987 winter in the California desert camping, fishing, rock hounding and sightseeing as snowbirds. Bob medically retired from the RR in 1997 and we moved to Sequim Wash. in an RV park at Diamond Point. We have continued to winter in the desert out of Yuma AZ until 2000 when Bob received 100% disability from the V.A. He needed back surgery in 2001 so we moved to Tucson to get the surgery done at the V.A. there. We decided this would be our winter home and bought a Park Model in Rincon County West RV Park. We had been spending summers at our lot in Sequim until January 2007 when Bev got a job working in a contract Post Office. Then my mother had a heart attack in April and I spent 4 months in California until she passed away. From August of 2007 until now we have been living in Tucson in our Park Model just living life, bowling most days ands that's all.
I received my BS degree from Brigham Young University in 1969 and shortly thereafter began a career as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Pfizer, Inc. I had enjoyed 30 years of successful sales positions in the Midwest before accepting a promotion to Sarasota, FL where I continued to enjoy success and the work before I closed out my 37 year career with Pfizer. In January of 2006 I retired, having earned distinction as a member of Pfizer’s coveted “Hall of Fame”. I currently am a member of Pfizer’s “Ambassadors”, a limited number of retired sales representatives that are invited to be consultants at medical conventions.
My wife, Dorothy, and I enjoy our retirement in our comfortable home. We leave home frequently to visit our 3 sons and our daughter in their homes in different U.S. locations and enjoy the company of our seven grandchildren.
From Dennis: After 2 years of college, 46 years of marriage, 28 1/2 years as a Naval flight engineer, 20 years of owning my own business and 6 years of employment in the private business sector, I am happy to say I am finally retired!
Jim attended Everett Community College for 2 years then joined the US Coast Guard. He Married in 1961 to Judy Anderson, from the Shoreline class of 1960. This marriage, unfortunately, ended in divorce after 17 years. He does have 5 grand children, two in Stanwood, WA from one daughter, and three in Idaho from another daughter. Jim lost his recent wife of 16 years in 2005 from a 7-year battle with ovarian cancer. Jim's work career involved 12 years with the Washington State Department of Highways performing various engineering and surveying tasks with highway construction on Interstate 5, I-405, and portions of I-90. He later moved to the computer integration and software engineering field being responsible for purchasing, shipping, and production management. On the activities side, Jim got involved with singing 4-Part Barbershop Harmony in 1970 and is still very active today in a quartet. He is also busy with his Rotary Service Club affiliation, fund raising for the American Cancer Society, and facility volunteer efforts at his Church. He is now Semi-retired as a licensed handyman doing small contract jobs as well as remodel projects to his view home in Mukilteo. He is now going through the task of "cyber-dating" looking for his last love. WOW, what a change from dating in the past. He is again on the Shoreline Reunion Committee as he has been for all previous events. I hope ya'll have a great time at the BIG 50-Year Reunion. Geesh, 50 years?
So much has changed for me since my days at Shoreline High that it really feels like it has been 50 years since the (mostly) dedicated faculty tried, with marginal success, to teach me something. With my lackluster academic performance back then, who would have thought I would end up going all the way – I did not even think about it! However, thanks to a number of seminal events in my early days, for the last 45 years I have had the best job on the planet. As crazy as it seems, I can track the “idea” for my career in marine biology and scuba diving back to events that happened in the Shoreline Community - seeing the movie “The Frogmen” about Navy divers at the Ridgecrest Theater in 1951, and in 1953 finding the books “Under the Red Sea”, by Hans Hass, and “Silent World”, by Jacques Causteau, in the Jane Adams Jr. High library, and in 1956 subscribing to “Skin Diver” magazine. I was fascinated by the world underwater. It is likely now safe to admit that I often skipped classes at Shoreline (using notes from my understanding mother) to go snorkeling in Puget Sound at Picnic Point and Richmond Beach. I started scientific research diving in 1965, and 43 years and in excess of 2,800 dives later, I still regularly “blow bubbles” for science.
In 1958 I started at the University of Washington, trudging to classes with Dean Humphrey, Ken DeFleur and Bruce Richardson, not really knowing why I was there. Then it all came together in 1960. That summer I was very fortunate to go with Bruce to Kauai, Hawaii, where his family was on vacation when his father was conducting bird research – this was my first experience in tropical waters and my “dream career” in marine biology became focused on coral reef fish research. In the fall during my undergraduate studies, I took a class at the School of Fisheries and I met Professor Alan DeLacy, Wendy DeLacy’s father. Dr. DeLacy became my mentor and inspired me to pursue a career in marine sciences. I had not known that Wendy’s father was a marine scientist, and I had never even asked Wendy for a date although we had been in classes together since Jane Addams Jr. High - had I known about her father …… In 1963, I received a BS degree from the UW with a major in marine biology. After a year of graduate study at the University of Hawaii, I returned to the UW and in 1969 received an MS degree, with Dr. DeLacy as Chair of my Graduate Committee.
While all this was going on, in 1964 I started a fascinating and rewarding career as a Fish Biologist in marine science with the Washington Department of Fisheries (now Fish and Wildlife), in Olympia, which is still going strong 45 years later as the Senior Research Scientist. In 1985-1987 I took a two-year government service leave to be Chief Fishery Biologist for the American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources. I had reached “nirvana” with a job requiring research and diving throughout the tropical Pacific waters from Micronesia south to the Cook Islands. My son, Troy Buckley, joined me in American Samoa after receiving a BS degree from the UW in fisheries science, and we had a wonderful time working, diving and playing together throughout the tropical south and central Pacific. Earlier in life I had “discovered” soccer when Troy started playing in the 8th grade, and Troy and I were able to continue our adult recreational soccer “careers” in American Samoa by playing on the same local village team – what a treat!
My current life started in November 1990 when I went to Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain, to give a research paper at a scientific conference. At the airport I met Marta Gomez Llorente, a marine biology graduate student at the Universdad de Las Palmas who was my interpreter and host for the conference. My bachelor days were over in an instant – it does happen at first sight. My Spanish language skills were worse than marginal, and oh how I wished I had been a better student in Mrs. Timar’s Spanish class at Shoreline. However, Marta’s English was perfect and we clearly spoke the same language. Marta and I were married in Olympia a year later, and over the years we worked and played together in Japan, Fiji, Hawaii, Guam, Palau, the Bahamas, the Mediterranean, Florida, California, and Alaska. For us 1997 was a major year - I received a PhD in marine ecology from the UW College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences, assisted by many hours of diving by Marta, my marine biologist colleague. Also, I was appointed Affiliate Assistant Professor at the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences, to serve on graduate student supervisory committees and lecture in marine sciences. But, the main 1997 event happened in August when our fantastic daughter, Adriana, was born. Adriana starts the 6th grade in 2008, and yes I have a daughter younger than your grandkids!
When I retire (soon) I will continue with the research on the Aldabra Marine Programme I started in 1999. Under the organizational umbrella of the University of Cambridge, UK, I joined two colleagues from the UK, and one from Spain, to conduct annual expeditions at Aldabra Atoll and adjacent islands in the southern Seychelles Islands, Indian Ocean. This research assesses the recovery of the coral reef ecosystems after global-warming and the 1998 El Niño event caused extensive loss of coral habitats. It is a tough job but somebody has to do it. However, my main interest in life is having fun with Marta and Adriana. Our family activities include beach walks (with a heavy dosage of the wonders of marine life for Adriana), cycling, hiking, soccer, swimming, X-C skiing, snow shoeing, canoeing and reading together. Thanks to Marta and Adriana, I am the most fortunate man on the planet.
Lori attended Central Washington College for 1 ½ years and married Jay Burmester in December of 1959. They moved to Kirkland in 1960 after Jay's graduation. They had a family retail furniture business until 1973 when Jay became a wholesale furniture agent and Lori went to work as an office manager of a dental office. Lori retired from her job in February of '88. She and Jay raised two children, Karen and Bob. They are both married and each have two children. Lori and Jay retired in 1997, moving to Wenatchee to enjoy the sun and dry golf course. They will be unable to attend the reunion.

As you know that i really love travelling, and this means going outdoor and exploring places. Sometimes, outdoor activities can make our skin looks dull or even getting skin rashes. To avoid that, choosing the right body soap is definitely important.
I recently tried Lifebuoy clinishield10 shower gel that is not only smells great but also helps to kill germs and bacteria. It gives 10x better germ shield than normal soap bar with its Active Naturol Shield. You only need to use a drop of the liquid body wash (coin size) on your hand or loofah it gives quite a lot of foam already. It has two different option, the red one is “complete” with the iconic lifebuoy smell and the green one is “fresh” with green clean smell. The smell last quite long and the soap itself does not give an oily effect after usage.
So, really, say goodbye to germs and bacteria even after your outdoor activities! You can find the body wash at your nearest super market or if you stay in Jakarta and Surabaya, get it delivered to your door by Happy Fresh!

I was all set to make ChakaraPongal and kootu, but we heard news of my husband’s aunt’s passing – so all festivities came to a grinding halt – So I decided to keep it simple – do I overuse that word or what! The awesome thing I learned during my visit to India was to make good phulkas – Just by watching mind you! So I made some phulkas (which I will blog next) and a side dish of Baingan ka burta.
I find the toasting of the Italian eggplant over open fire messy and here in the US you have to clean the mess yourself – So my I changed my approach just a tad, but did not compromise on the taste – that is a strict NO NO!
Serve Hot and with abundance of Love!
My fav too.I microwave the whole eggplant and then peel the skin,mush it up and use it.
I made this dish tonight. It was delicious, my family loved it! Great recipe, thank you Priya!

Spinach, kale and other dark greens are high in folate.
Folate helps us to make serotonin and dopamine. Both of these are neurotransmitters that fight depression and stress.
Here are 5 warning signs that you need more leafy greens in your life.
Turkey is one of those foods that is linked to happy memories and that is good for us too! It is high in tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid that shifts to serotonin in our bodies.
When we eat foods high in tryptophan we are less likely to argue.
Other foods high in tryptophan include cage-free eggs and pumpkin seeds.
We know you are thinking of wine and beer here, but let’s look elsewhere! When a food is fermented it contains good bacteria that can help boost your mood.
Good choices include yogurt and kombucha tea.
Wild caught salmon is good for us for so many reasons, and it is a mood booster too.
Salmon contains omega-3 fats that studies show helps cut anxiety by 20%.
Blueberries and blackberries both contain anthocyanins. These are what gives them their deep color. They also help the brain make dopamine, a good mood chemical.
Blueberries also help us build more of the white blood cells that boost the immune system.
That’s not the only reason I count pistachios as one of my favorites either!

Spring severe weather season is upon us and this afternoon East Texas could be looking at a line of severe thunderstorms that'll move through bringing with it high winds, large hail and the possibility of tornadoes.
KLTV 7 Meteorologists Cedric Haynes and Mark Scirto along with the StormTracker 7 Weather team will be tracking the storms if and when they develop. The reason for the chance of the severe weather is the combination of heat (nearing 82 this afternoon), humidity and instability causing widespread showers and thunderstorms.
The main threat we'll see from this is will be high winds and large hail, similar to what we experienced last Friday, but this time a threat for isolated tornadoes has been added.
If severe weather does break out, we'll bring you the latest and keep you up to date along with the StormTracker 7 weather center.

Gasoline is currently the fuel of choice, but petroleum used to make it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and is contributing to environmental issues and worldwide problems. Automobile manufacturers know this and are spending tremendous amounts of money to develop alternative fuel for the future. A few years ago, OWI introduced a Salt Water Fuel Cell vehicle and is now introducing another alternative fuel and eco-friendly vehicle. Let us introduce you to OWI’s Air Power Racer.
Air as fuel…could possibly be another alternative to petroleum. Air is available 24/7, does not run out and it’s free. By golly, we might have something here and OWI’s Air Power Racer can break down this technology to its simplest form. This is an amazing kit that uses the vision of our ancestors back in the middle of the 19th century. Now, your child can bring that vision to life and gain valuable insight into propulsion via compressed air.
Assembly and operation is a breeze for the builder who has experience assembling kits. The estimated assembly time is 4 hours, which makes it ideal for quality time as a parent/child project. A pump-up bar with a pressure meter is built into the car for easy operation. This meter measures the volume of compressed air. The air chamber made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The silicon tube (red in color) creates an air tight fit. Another safety device implemented into the kit is a safety valve. If the user keeps pumping while the tank is full, the safety valve will open and bleed the air automatically. Anyway, back to the air in the tank. When the air chamber is full, you can release the compressed air; the air then expands and drives the vehicle a distance up to 50 meters in 35 seconds. The car is fast and furious fun that requires no batteries or specific weather conditions to limit its usage. OWI’s Air Power Racer is not only designed with the environment in mind, but is also fun and easy to build! By the way, a pretty cool factoid is, the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle is recyclable. Recycled PET is labeled with the #1 code normally found on or near the bottom of many consumer products such as fruit containers and water/soda bottles.

What does the Soviet Space program have to do with Yiddish culture? Multidisciplinary artist Yevgeniy Fiks presents Heaven and Earth (Yiddish Cosmos), an exhibition that uncovers the surprising connections between the Eastern-European Jewish experience, futurist utopianism, and the Soviet space program. In this exhibition, Fiks forges a speculative narrative of Yiddish culture based on ideas of daring imagination, universality, and scientific progress.
About the Artist Yevgeniy Fiks was born in Moscow in 1972 and has been living and working in New York since 1994. Fiks has produced numerous projects on the subject of the Post-Soviet dialog in the West. Fiks’ work has been shown internationally. This includes exhibitions in the United States at Winkleman and Postmasters galleries (both in New York), Mass MoCA, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and Marat Guelman Gallery in Moscow; Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in Mexico City, and the Museu Colecção Berardo in Lisbon.
About the Exhibition Site Stanton Street Shul is one of the few tenement shuls still left of the 700 LES congregations. Stanton Street Shul is the first American home of Congregation Bnai Jacob Anshe Brzezan (“Sons of Jacob, People of Brzezan”). Incorporated in 1893, the community of Jewish immigrants from the town of Brzezan in Southeast Galicia, (formerly Austria-Hungary, then Poland, now Ukraine), created their place of worship from an existing structure on the site in 1913, within a thriving Lower East Side Jewish community. The shul has since changed with the neighborhood, but has struggled to preserve its old country roots.

EXH: PEASANTS, CLANS, AND EFFERVESCENT ABSOLUTISTS!
Tuesday, September 4, 2018 to Thursday, October 18, 2018 Harriman Institute Atrium, 12th Floor International Affairs Building (420 W 118th St) Exhibit runs September 4 – October 18, 2018. Exhibit hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00AM – 5:00PM excluding university holidays.
Artist Anne Bobroff-Hajal has a PhD in Russian History and is the author of the scholarly volume Working Women in Russia Under the Hunger Tsars. Her extensively researched polyptychs are satirical commentaries on how Russia’s ruling elites have historically taken advantage of their unique geographic situation to amass and maintain power. She means for her art to honor and serve the dispossessed and forgotten.
Bobroff-Hajal’s work draws formally on the similarities among icons, political cartoons, animation storyboards, and graphic novels, all of which tell stories in pictures. Her tales are told across centuries to the Infant Stalin by three tsarist godparents: Ivan IV, Catherine the Great, and Peter the Great. Each polyptych is “narrated” via the artist’s original lyrics set to the tune of Kalinka, in a series of tableaux which viewers “read” through numbered frames or simply from left to right. Bobroff-Hajal’s goal is to beguile viewers to identify and engage with forces that have shaped power structures in Russia and other parts of the world.
Intellectually, Bobroff-Hajal’s work brings together disparate fields’ analyses of Russia: historians of ideology who have observed Russian elites’ centuries-old use of the threat of invasion to unify the country behind an autocratic leader; global history scholars like Perry Anderson who wrote that “Eastern Absolutism…was the price of [Russians’] survival in a civilization of unremitting territorial warfare;” geographers who have described Russia as “the least defensible country on earth” because of its vast flatland steppes devoid of natural barriers to invasion. Putin today is only the most recent Russian ruler to manipulate threat of invasion across the plains to support extreme appropriation of wealth and power from the populace for the benefit of ruling elites.
Bobroff-Hajal’s 110-page fully illustrated catalogue is now published online, with extensive historical analysis and info about her artistic process. Please click here to access the catalogue. For best results view using the “full screen” function.
Anne Bobroff-Hajal’s art combines deep historical knowledge with humor and artistic talent that speaks to audiences ranging from school children to professors. I cannot imagine a more distinctive and iconoclastic combination. In her formidable painting of Ivan IV, his stern face conveys a series of meanings, and the postures of his underlings depict patronage and clan relationships that reflect the latest historical research on the 16th century. Her paintings of Stalin with Bolshevik patronage clans show a similar skill and informed artistry that also capture recent research. Her Catherine the Great, who ‘flies’ by means of stilt-walking serfs hoisting her and her heavy decorative gold wings, does more, and more vividly than many books on Catherine. The whimsical style of her work allows it (like icons of old) to tell stories on many levels, ranging from the nearly comic to an accomplished complexity. Her work is truly unique and deserves a wide audience.
“I’ve been asked how I can bear to spend so much time painting brutality and horrors. I do it because art—with its color, beauty, satire, story, whimsy—is the tool we humans have to lift us from despair as we investigate the sources of atrocities so as to combat them in the future.
How do elites—not only in Russia, but the world over—amass the power to do such terrible things to less powerful people? What are the resources rulers use to accumulate power? How do they exploit those resources to maintain their omnipotence? How have some some regions of the world been able to wield dominion over other regions?
Russian absolutism, as historian Perry Anderson observed, not only began earlier than in Europe, it “outlived all its contemporaries, to become the only Absolutist State in the continent to survive intact into the 20th century.” The 1917 collapse of the Tsarist autocracy was followed a decade after the Bolshevik Revolution by the rising Joseph Stalin’s “Communist” autocracy. That in turn collapsed in the 1990s, to be followed a decade later by the rise of a new autocrat-in-the-making, Vladimir Putin. Why do distinctive historic cycles recur in each region of the globe, and how can they be broken?
I believe that each land’s distinct geography presents singular opportunities for elites to build and sustain power. In particular, Russia is by far the planet’s largest flat landscape. Geographers have called Russia the least defensible terrain on earth because of its lack of natural barriers against hugely powerful neighbors. My art explores the web of interconnections between Russia’s unique geography—both natural and human—and its rulers, clans, and laboring classes. I paint the social system Russia’s geography gives rise to, the elites it empowers, and hundreds of tiny portraits of individual people straining to achieve their goals within that system.
Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale is pleased to announce its latest exhibition, Erosion: Works by Leonard Ursachi on view from July 15–November 18, 2018. In this exhibition featuring an outdoor sculpture, installation work, and related maquettes and drawings, Leonard Ursachi addresses themes of environmental and social crises caused by manmade events and reflects on how the destruction of natural resources is intimately interconnected with the effacement of human history and culture. What a Wonderful World (2018), a large-scale sculpture installed in Hebrew Home’s sculpture garden overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, touches on the inextricable link between profitability and the destruction of the environment. Expanses of 23-karat gold leaf applied to the roughly textured, “tarred” oceans reference a global, often wealth-driven disregard for the impact of environmental choices. The continents, on the other hand, appear vast and devoid of life, signifying a stripping away of natural resources. Still, Ursachi’s vision implies hope: the sculpture’s egg shape may be read as the enduring, if fragile, potential for life.
Also included in the exhibition is Rise and Shine (2010), a multi-media work that addresses the disappearance of the Romanian island of Ada Kaleh, which was submerged in the Danube River in 1970 by Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu in order to build a hydroelectric plant. Inside an aquarium-like receptacle, a model of the island cast from translucent urethane resin is lit from below, alternately drowned and resuscitated as water continuously rises and falls. The work addresses the disastrous effect such industrial projects have on human culture, displacing entire populations and literally washing away layers of history. The piece engages environmental themes and reflects the unchecked destruction that can occur under tyranny. Ceaușescu’s rule was one of the most brutal in the Eastern Bloc, with his secret police force routinely torturing and imprisoning suspected dissenters and political enemies. Ursachi was arrested for attempting to escape Romania by swimming across the Danube—near the spot where Ada Kaleh once stood—to reach Yugoslavia in 1978. His second attempt to defect, in 1980, was successful, and he was granted political asylum in France where he spent five years. He came to the United States via Canada and settled in New York in 1987.

Joy Reid’s claim that her old blog was hacked didn’t make much sense to start with. After a week of looking at her claims closely, even her allies on the left (HuffPost, the Atlantic, the Nation) have concluded they don’t stand up to any scrutiny. Today Reid opened her weekend show on MSNBC by admitting she had zero proof her blog was ever hacked, but her statement quickly went downhill from there.
Wait, what? Didn’t you just say that person wasn’t you?
“Now the reality is, I have to own the things that I’ve written and tweeted and said,” Reid said.
Does Joy Reid know what taking ownership means? Claiming offensive things written on your blog under your own name don’t belong to you is the opposite of owning something. She’s actually disowning it. To be fair, she does take responsibility for one set of tweets attacking Ann Coulter (suggesting she’s trans). Those tweets came up this week only tangentially, i.e. as proof that Reid did talk online exactly like the person who wrote those old blog posts. But the important point is she’s ducking responsibility for about 90% of the material everyone has been talking about. Reid never even mentions that she dragged the FBI into this cockamamie story. How about an apology to them for making them part of this silly cover-up?
Update: Glad to see I’m not the only person thinking this apology didn’t really address the main problem with what happened this week.
Alarmed by the response to Joy Ann Reid’s apology by people in the press who are–rightly–obsessed with The Truth. Of course she should be forgiven for her past statements. But she lied. And now makes the baffling claim that she “doesn’t believe” she wrote them. Huh?
I’m completely agreeing with David Sirota.
Left unsaid in the Joy Reid crap: when high-profile media folk appear to blatantly lie & then their media buddies publicly defend them, it fuels overall distrust of media, which makes it harder for honest workaday journalists to be viewed as credible, do their jobs & have impact.
Update: Management knows she’s lying but saying so would be problematic.
According to former colleagues, @MSNBC @NBCNews management “certain” @joyannreid lied about being hacked, but decided not to fire her, in part, given B.Williams history + ongoing role. Truth and integrity still matter to a few at the org, though they feel like a dying breed.
Update: From a man who knows something about avoiding consequences for your actions.
Joy Ann Reid apology. Appropriate. Heartfelt. This unique and compelling voice for tolerance and equality should not be silenced. We learn – and change – from our mistakes. She has.
Will Clinton survive the debate?

It was possible (perhaps) through book three (Memories of Ice) to offer a reasonably concise summary of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. By this point, however, trying to untangle all of the threads Erikson’s woven is like trying to untangle the Gordian Knot of politics in the Middle East. Which is one of the more attractive elements in Erikson’s opus – he refuses to simplify his characters’ motivations and the complicated clash of their many goals.
And, boy, are things beginning to clash.
In Reaper’s Gale, the Bonehunters arrived on the Letherii empire’s continent like the title’s storm reference as they marched to their fated, unwitnessed final battle. At the end of that book, Letheras had fallen; Rhulad Sengar, the undying Edur emperor was dead (by Karsa Orlong’s hand); a friendly regime under Tehol Beddict had assumed power; and the Errant had been chased from the city of Letheras. But there were intimations of the coming apocalypse – for example, the K’Chain Che’Malle were again active, and despite his defeat, the Errant was gathering together the Elder Gods in a bid to return to power.
In Dust of Dreams, the ultimate “enemy” remains elusive. Is it the Crippled God? Maybe. But Tavore may be marching to free him. Is it the Forkrul Assail? Perhaps. Their concept of “justice” would erase all intelligent life on the planet. Is it the K’Chain Nah’ruk? The K’Chain Che’Malle? Is the ultimate enemy the Elder Gods? And it seems like every side aims, to some extent, to wipe the slate clean and begin the cycle over again.
The Bonehunters Tavore continues to be an enigma to her troops, apparently so crushed by what she sees ahead that she can’t burden the people relying upon her with the knowledge lest they succumb entirely to despair. Of course, that’s doing nothing for the morale of the legion. Despite Y’Ghatan and Malaz City, the army remains shaky and unsure of itself.
The Khundryl and the Perish Greywolves Though the Khundryl remain firm allies of the Adjunct they appear to have been broken by the “wrong” battle that engulfs the armies when they run into the K’Chain Nah’ruk. And Tanakalian, the Shield Anvil of the Perish, is corrupted by ambition and may break in the final battle.
The Letherii Under Brys Beddict, I think they’ll remain allies of Tavore.
The K’Chain Che’Malle The last group of K’Chain (the Acyl) have gained a new lease on life under humans – the Destriant Kalyth, the Mortal Sword Gesler and the Shield Anvil Stormy (the latter two kidnapped from the Bonehunters to lead the K’Chain legions against the Nah’ruk). They also are instrumental in deciding the fate of Icarium (yes, that long journey finally comes to an end).
The T’lan Imass Actually there are several factions emerging among the Imass – Onos T’oolan has died again and Olar Ethil resurrected him to be her tool of vengeance; the Unbound have returned and are moving to join the Bonehunters; and Rud Elalle, the half-human son of Menandore and Udinaas, has left the Refugium to protect it and the newborn Azath (Kettle).
The Jaghut A hitherto unknown group of Jaghut, connected to Hood in some way, have appeared. What their motivations and goals are remain hidden.
Erikson continues to maintain a good balance between the particular lives of his characters and the “macrocosmic” aspects of the novel. And despite the novel’s deep rooted pessimism, individuals’ actions continue to mean something. Just like the hope of rebirth after Ragnarok, there’s hope of survival after whatever the Adjunct is marching into in the Wastelands.
Another element in Erikson’s work that I find attractive is that he also refuses to identify a “good” and an “evil.” Even the Crippled God receives a measure of sympathy. After all, he didn’t ask to come to the Malazan’s world; he was dragged here by a cabal of wizards who were attempting to bring down Kallor’s empire. He’s been chained so that the gods can feed off of his power. Who wouldn’t be a little bit irritated by that? Or there’s the matter of the Pannion Seer – she was an undead K’Chain Matron, driven insane. And speaking of the K’Chain Che’Malle, even they get a sympathetic nod in Dust. The only race who remain wholly inimical are the Forkrul Assail.
I look forward to Book 10 with an anticipation I haven’t felt for a similar series in a long time.

People seek psychotherapy at a wide variety of points in life to address a wide variety of issues. Often talking to a professional who is objective and outside of your situation can help you to see things in a new light and to find possible new approaches and solutions.
You may know exactly what sort of therapy you are interested in, or you may have little idea what would be best for you. The only thing that you need to start therapy is an inkling that talking may help. The initial phase of therapy -- perhaps the first one to three sessions -- is typically exploratory. We'll talk about what brought you in, what your history is, and what therapeutic approaches might be helpful. From there, we'll work together to make a plan that makes sense.
While therapy sessions are always 45 to 50 minutes long, therapy varies greatly in terms of how frequently sessions are held (e.g., weekly, biweekly, monthly) and how long therapy continues for (e.g., weeks, months, or years). As with the approaches we use, these elements are agreed upon collaboratively.
Please email us at [email protected] or call us (508-668-3284) with any questions.

Senate: Democrats would strip Fed of supervisory powers, create three agencies WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats on Tuesday proposed stripping the Federal Reserve of its supervisory powers and creating instead three new federal agencies to police banks, protect consumers and dismantle failing institutions.
“We saw over the last number of years when (the Fed) took on consumer protection responsibilities and the regulation of bank holding companies, it was an abysmal failure,” said Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat.
Dodd’s proposal prompted cheers from consumer advocates and other Democrats, including Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., an influential moderate who said swift action was necessary to prevent future government bailouts of big banks.

Substitution Rule is in fact one of the most powerful rules for integration.
Suppose we want to find `int f(x)dx`.
If we can find such functions `g` and `v` that `f(x)dx=g(v(x))v'(x)dx` then according to Chain Rule `d/(dx)G(v(x))=G'(v(x))v'(x)=g(v(x))v'(x)` where `G'=g`.
As result we have that: `int f(x)dx=int g(v(x))v'(x)dx=G(v(x))+C`.
Evaluate integral `int g(u)du`, return back to old variables and you are done.
Substitution Rule. If `u=v(x)` is a differentiable function whose range is an interval `I` and `f` is continuous on `I`, then `int g(v(x))v'(x)dx=int g(u)du`.
Note, that Substitution Rule can be treated as some sort of inverse of Chain Rule.
Let's get over some examples to have better understanding of Substitution Rule.
From first glance it may appear that this integral is impossible to solve, but correct substituion will reduce this integral to easy one.
Now, just for checking find derivative of the result: `(1/2e^(x^2))'=1/2e^(x^2)*(x^2)'=xe^(x^2)` (notice use of Chain Rule).
Note that choice of `u(x)` is crucial. For example substituion `u=x^3` will not make integral easier.
Now, what about definite integral?
Compute indefinite integral and use fundamental theorem of calculus.
Without returning to old variables change integration limits and use fundamental theorem.
Second method is more preferable.
The Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals. If `v'` is continuous on `[a,b]` and `g` is continuous on the range of `u=v(x)`, then `int_a^b g(v(x))v'(x)dx=int_(v(a))^(v(b)) g(u)du`.
Let's see how this is done.
From another side since `u=x^2` and `x` is changing from 2 to 3 then `u` is changing from `2^2=4` to `3^2=9`.
Example 3. Find `int_0^3 e^(3x)dx`.
Let `u=3x` then `du=3dx`, so `dx=(du)/3`.
`x` is changing from 0 to 3, so `u` is changing from `3*0=0` to `3*3=9`.
Therefore, `int_0^3 e^(3x)dx=int_0^9 e^u (du)/3=1/3 e^u|_0^9=1/3(e^9-e^0)=1/3(e^9-1)`.
Now let's return to indefinite integrals to see more examples of using of Substitution Rule.
Example 4. Calculate `int 1/sqrt(1-x^2)dx`.
First of all there is restriction that `|x|<1` , otherwise value under square root is negative.
Now, to the integral. It is always important to think how any integral can be reduced to easy one. In this case trigonometric identity `cos^2(u)+sin^2(u)=1` is very useful.
From it follows that `cos(u)=sqrt(1-sin^2(u))`, which is exactly that is in denominator.
So, make substituion `x=sin(u)` , then `dx=(sin(u))'d u` or `dx=cos(u)du`.
Now, since `x=sin(u)` then `u=arcsin(x)`.
`int 1/sqrt(1-x^2)dx=arcsin(x)+C` , `|x|<1` .
Note how in example 1 we've made substitution `u=u(x)=x^2` and in last example we've made substitution `x=x(u)=sin(u)`. In some cases it is easier to find `u=u(x)`, in some `x=x(u)`.
Following example will show that it is not always very clear what substitution to make.
As can be seen substitution `u=cos(2t+9)` is perfect, because it will remove numerator and simplify denominator. In this case `du=(cos(2t+9))'dt=-sin(2t+9)*(2t+9)'dt=-2sin(2t+9)dt`, so `sin(2t+9)dt=-(du)/2`.
`int sin(2t+9)/cos(2t+9)dt=int (-(du)/2)/(u)=-1/2 int (du)/u=-1/2 ln(u)+C`.
It is very important to "read" integral to define the better substitution.
Example 6. Find `int (cos(x))/(1+sin^2(x))dx`.
Let's "read this integral": in denominator we have something like `int 1/(1+t^2)dt=arctan(t)`.
In numerator we have `cos(x)` which is derivative of `sin(x)`. Therefore, substitution `t=sin(x)` will work.
So, `dt=cos(x)dx` and integral can be rewritten as `int 1/(1+t^2)=arctan(t)+C`.
Returning to old variables gives that `int (cos(x))/(1+sin^2(x))dx=arctan(sin(x))+C`.
Example 7. Find `int (2x)/(x^2+1)dx`.
Returning to old variables gives that `int (2x)/(x^2+1)dx=ln(x^2+1)+C`.
At last we want to say that change of variable technique is some sort of trial and error. This means that correct evaluating of integrals using this technique will come with experience, and at the beginning you should try different substitutions and understand why some are good and some are awful. It is also a good idea to practice chain rule, because it is "inverse" process to substitution rule.

I'm feeling much better today despite some soreness, and I managed to get a lot done today while still spending some quality time with LO. My biggest accomplishment was cleaning out some of my closet and listing my stuff on evilbay. With LO around, I had to get rid of a lot of my heels that I won't be wearing anytime soon. It's sad to part with them but there's no point in keeping them if I haven't worn them. On the upside, hopefully it'll free up some space in my closet and add some cash towards some bills I have!
Essie Naughty Nautical is a the perfect shade of marine teal with silver shimmer. The formula was impeccably Essie with no streaking or pooling. It had a perfect consistency that self leveled after two easy coats. It dried quickly with a glossy shine, so no topcoat shown in these pics.
I thought Naughty Nautical had a similar base color as Hare's recently released Bisbee 2.0, a teal based crelly with gold shimmer, square, and hex glitter. The teal in Bisbee is a bit more blue leaning but not that far off once applied over Naughty Nautical. The gold hex glitter really pop against the teal base. I used two coats and had no trouble with clumping or dragging of glitters during application. This is finished with a layer of Poshe.
I really like these two polishes layered over each other because it didn't take away the depth of the Hare glitter. There's still that squishy factor that I love about color based glitter polishes but without having too much sheerness. Had I used Bisbee 2.0 alone, I would have probably used about 4 coats and still had some VNL. I haven't compared the original Bisbee to the new release, but so far I don't detect too much of a difference. If anything, the new version is more opaque than the original. Have you had a chance to compare them yet?

This is a sample color chart of what we have available to mix. Not all colors are available for all products do to silicone and color materail incompatability. This chart will give you an idea of the colors but they may not cure out at exactly the same color level. We can mix some colors to create other colors but it is a hit an miss one time process. We can't guarantee the colors to be exact.
This is our color sample chart. Colors may not cure to exactly match the colors on the color chart, however, they will be very close. This is not an item for sale, it is only a color chart for reference, if you add it to your cart you will not recieve it, because it is only a file.

San Bernardino County (Calif.) Employees' Retirement Association's investment committee agreed to recommend that the board terminate Tricadia Credit Strategies and end dealings with two York Capital Management funds, confirmed Michael Tamony, spokesman for the $9.7 billion pension fund.
Tricadia Capital Management managed approximately $36.2 million for SBCERA as of April 30 in Tricadia Credit Strategies, a multistrategy credit hedge fund. The investment committee recommended termination because of performance issues.
SBCERA approved a commitment of $100 million to the York Structured Credit Opportunities Fund in January; it will be rescinded. During negotiations, the pension plan's investment committee staff found an unfavorable key term to SBCERA in the fund documents, and a resolution has not been reached, meeting minutes show.
The committee also agreed to redeem SBCERA's $157.3 million interest in York's Global Credit Income Fund due to a similar term in its current contract with that fund.
These actions will be presented to the board for approval at its Aug. 2 meeting.
A spokeswoman from Tricadia declined to comment. A spokesman from York Capital could not be immediately reached for comment.

This study published in American Meteorological Society’s BAMS journal demonstrates the extent of variability in readings one can expect with a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance technology.
To obtain the highest level of accuracy that is required for remote sensing applications, capacitance-based soil sensors often need to be recalibrated. The HydraProbe is an impedance-based sensor that that takes the measurements one step further and rarely needs to be recalibrated. If a custom calibration is necessary, it can be used with any HydraProbe (low inter-sensor variability). The HydraProbe will hold that calibration (custom or factory) for many years (5 years guaranteed) which will save operational costs in long term monitoring networks.
If you are using soil sensors for ground truthing, why not make it easy with a non-capacitance based soil sensor like the HydraProbe?

Directed by Mamoru Hosoda, best known in Korea for “The Boy and the Beast” (2015) and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (2006), his latest title is a coming-of-age film that shows time travel through the eyes of Kun.
Hong Jang-mi (Yoo Ho-jeong) is the nagging and nosy mother of a daughter (Chae Soo-bin). Her ordinary days, however, begin to turn around when she, by chance, encounters an old friend Myeong-hwan (Park Sung-woong). The encounter risks Jang-mi having to reveal the past she hoped to keep hidden from the people around her.
Going back and forth from the 1970s and modern times, Ha Yeon-soo portrays the younger version of Jang-mi, who dreamed of becoming a singer. Myeong-hwan was also an aspiring singer who Jang-mi dated and with whom she shared her dream. The younger version of Myeong-hwan is played by Lee Won-keun.
Directed, written and produced by M. Night Shayamalan of the horror title “The Sixth Sense” (1999), “Glass” is the final installment of the “Eastrail 177” trilogy, which began with “Unbreakable” (2000) and continued with “Split” (2017).
Bringing back James McAvoy, Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson to the screen, “Glass” centers on David Dunn (Willis), the Philadelphia security guard from “Unbreakable” who realized that he is invincible, and Elijah Price (Jackson) from the same title, whose bones break like a glass, earning him the nickname “Mr. Glass”. Elijah’s physical weakness leads him to escape into the world of comic books, with a strong desire to know whether superheroes really exist. Then there is Kevin Wendell Crumb (McAvoy), a disturbed man with 24 personalities.
Beginning only a few weeks after the events of “Split,” Dunn uses his abilities to track down and capture The Beast, the most dangerous of Crumb’s 24 personalities. Orchestrating the fight is Price, who holds the secret that the two men are desperate to know about.
Sarah Paulson also appears in the movie as Dr. Ellie Staple, a psychiatrist that believes she can cure the three troubled characters.
“Kursk” is inspired by 2000’s Kursk submarine disaster, which led to the deaths of more than 100 Russian sailors. A little more than 20 crew members who were trapped alive in one of the vessel’s remaining compartments inside the wrecked submarine desperately waited for help to arrive while their oxygen ran out.
In Danish director Thomas Vinterberg’s retelling of the story, Matthias Schoenaerts plays the role of Mikhail Kalekov. He and his fellow sailors go on a naval exercise and head deep underwater in the Kursk submarine for a weapons test. But the equipment begins to malfunction and a set of explosions, triggered by missiles stacked inside, rip through the submarine. A small number of survivors - including Mikhail, who is the senior surviving officer aboard the doomed submarine - await their rescue.
Also shown in the film are the panicked families on land who await the return of their loved ones, as well as the bureaucratic idiocy that involves the Russian government’s refusal to accept an offer of assistance from foreign governments for fear of losing face and leaking secrets.
Colin Firth co-stars in the title, playing the real-life British commander David Russell, who tries to help rescue the men struggling to survive under the sea.
Dong-hyeon (Jinyoung) is an overweight high school student, who, along with his friend Hyeon-jeong (Lee Soo-min), are the targets of bullying at school.
Everything, however, changes when Dong-hyeon accidentally falls from the top of the school building and his body lands on a middle-aged gang member named Pan-su (Park Sung-woong), who had been walking down the street.
Though Pan-su’s body falls into a coma, his soul enters the body of Dong-hyeon. Following the body-swap, Dong-hyeon suddenly begins courageously beating up the bullies who had previously bothered him, and after shedding weight, becomes a school heart-throb.
It later turns out that Hyeon-jeong’s mother Mi-seon (Ra Mi-ran) is Pan-su’s first love, and he is not hesitant to express his love for her despite his new appearance.
Set in southern California in the 1980s, the movie revolves around a group of wealthy young men in Los Angeles and the strivers who will do anything to join the group and to keep the Ponzi scheme afloat.
Ansel Elgort from “Baby Driver” (2017) stars as Joe Hunt, who enjoys a spectacular rise and eventually suffers a calamitous fall after a financial scam, and co-stars with Kevin Spacey, his co-star from “Baby Driver,” who here portrays Ron Levin, a nimble dealmaker and con artist who immediately spots potential in the boys’ work and lures Hunt into a new scheme that gives him a $4 million financing deal.
Set six years after “Wreck-It Ralph,” Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” reunites friendly video game villain Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and his friend Vanellope (Sarah Silverman). While Ralph is happy with his current life, Vanellope feels bored by the predictability of her game, Sugar Rush, and is looking for something more exciting.
Ralph tries to make his restless friend happy by creating a secret bonus track for her. This, in turn, causes the game’s steering wheel to break. The only place to find a replacement for the antique is on eBay. To prevent the game from being unplugged, the pair travels into a newly-installed Wi-Fi router at Litwak’s Family Fun Center and Arcade, to procure the new wheel for the old game before it’s too late.
To raise the funds, they learn the rules of the new world and try to go viral by making a series of videos.

We're mesmerized by this glowing bike trail.
Follow the blue brick road! It might not lead you to Oz, but this electrifying blue bike trail is still pretty magical.
On Sept. 23, the Polish town of Lidzbark Warminski brought a whole new vision and perspective to the traditional bike trail. This inventive bike path gives off a hypnotizing blue glow in the dark, thanks to a special kind of asphalt. The asphalt is composed of synthetic particles called “luminophores,” designed by the European engineering company TPA sp. z o.o. The luminophores absorb sunlight during the day, then transform the trail into the electric blue hue at night. TPA explained to the Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztyńska that the glow should last up to 10 hours.
The purpose of the glow isn’t purely aesthetic though. The hope is that it will create safer conditions for nighttime cyclists and pedestrians.
The special section of trail is a new addition to a larger recreation path that leads up to a local lake. While the glow-in-the-dark path is only 328 feet long for now, the town hopes to expand the path after testing it out through the winter months.
To see more images of this incredible bike trail, check out the video below.
Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing trails like this here at home!

Here's the dialogue from the very end of this chain segment.
Prophet of Quetz'lun (PoQ) yells: What is this you pathetic, little worm? Come to die?
PoQ: I recognize your stench. You're the one who stealthed by me on the back of that snow leopard runt!
Spirit of Quetz'lun yells (SoQ): TIME TO DIE, FOOL!
PoQ: What? How is this possible?
SoQ: I've returned to invite you to my housewarming in the underworld!
SoQ: I'd say come along quietly, but we both know that's not going to happen. My little friend here is going to ease your way into the afterlife.
PoQ: Wait... STOP! You can't take back the power!
SoQ: Well done. I'll see to it that my prophet enjoys his eternal stay with me.

Maintaining an excellent record of transfers for the Royal Court, Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park is the latest play to make the leap from Sloane Square to the West End, in this case the Wyndham’s Theatre. Robert Innes Hopkins’ design seems to have transferred almost exactly as it was at the Royal Court, seemingly at the same size and still undergoing such a great transformation in the interval. All but two of the original cast have transferred with the show, directed by Dominic Cooke, which has already won Best Show plaudits from the Evening Standard, South Bank Sky Arts and the Critics Circle and looks set to continue that success.
I saw the show early in its run at the Royal Court and though not originally intending to revisit the show, the opportunity arose and I became quite intrigued by the idea of seeing the production again in a new home. The play takes a dual look at racial prejudice in America, starting in 1959 as a white family try to sell their house in a white neighbourhood to a black family despite pressure from the locals, then switching to 2009 where the tables are turned as the demographic of the area has switched completely and it is the black community resisting the ideas of a white couple who want to buy the same house. It looks at how people rarely say exactly what they mean, especially where race is concerned and though things would seem to have improved by 2009, the events of the second half show us that that progress could be seen to be quite superficial.
Sophie Thompson stood out for me once again with a simply sensational first half performance which gained even more depth for me, now having the advance knowledge of the reasons for her behaviour. She brings a powerful emotional resonance anyway to the so-very-brittle Bev, a housewife struggling do to the right thing in the minefield of both the changing racial and sexual politics of the time. And I’d forgotten just how funny her wise-cracking lawyer is, a much smaller part for the second half but almost just as impactful.
Stuart McQuarrie, replacing Steffan Rhodri, was superb at evoking both the simmering suppressed rage of Russ and the affability of chatty workman Dan, suggesting more of the slothful nature of the former and thereby heightening the threat felt by him as he snaps. Stephen Campbell Moore had the slightly trickier job of stepping in at the last minute for Jason Watkins, the original replacement for Martin Freeman, who had to withdraw from the production for family reasons. His first half performance isn’t quite as natural as it needs to be yet, suffering a little by comparison to Freeman’s ease, one never quite forgets he’s ‘acting’ as Karl but this should come with time and he is excellent as Steve, who pushes the situation further than it can bear with his unleashing of a torrent of dodgy jokes, both characters incredibly stubborn in their own way. Lorna Brown’s excruciatingly passive-aggressive Lena, Sam Spruell’s heartily inquisitive Jim and Sarah Goldberg’s overly PC and pregnant Lindsey were other excellent performances it was nice to revisit but this is a pleasingly tight ensemble who connect brilliantly in both configurations.
Note: a fair bit of bad language and controversial humour so probably not one for the overly sensitive!

Exascale supercomputing refers to super fast computers to be implemented between 2018 and 2020 to analyse massive volumes of data. The downside: they consume vast amounts of energy. This issue inspired new media visual artists Špela Petrič and Miha Turšič, who started a collaboration with a group of scientists working on exascale supercomputing projects.
“Supercomputing was a big mystery,” says Špela Petrič. “It was George Beckett from the University of Edinburgh who provoked us saying that in order to run the next exascale vision a supercomputer requires almost a whole power plant to power it,” she says.
“George Beckett made it possible that we could work also with other projects and partners to have a better understanding of what exascale supercomputing is about: hardware, software, infrastructure, computing science and other sciences required by computing science,” says Miha Turšič. “They introduced us to all these levels of supercomputing”.
Using new artistic methodologies the duo responded to knowledge and technology by transforming the data into works of artistic value that can be better understood by the general public. Becoming.A (Thing) (2017) is the result of their interpretation.
It is a performance made up of things, and these things are input by algorithms. "The artwork represents a congress of entities that are human, digital, algorithmic, technological. They are somehow connected to what we've encountered during the residency," Špela Petrič tells youris. “They are algorithms for image recognition, text to speech, different simulations of clouds or rain. The result is an artwork that is a gallery-performance, like a live laboratory,” says Turšič. “It is a semiotic instrument, a tool to understand ourselves."
"Algorithmic entities are fed with unexpected inputs and they are asked to make sense of them. This outcome is further processed with another algorithm, yet another technological interface. What we get is an emergence of meaning that does not have the meaning that was intended for," explains Petrič. "The important thing was to really consider the process of semiosis, not only something that is only attributable to humans, but that also emerges from the materiality of the objects that are involved in this congress of interpretation, in this process of meaning-making," she says.
To create this artwork the artists collaborated with Future and Emerging Technologies - High Performance Computers (FET-HPC) projects on exascale supercomputers including INTERTWinE in Edinburgh, UK, EXDCI in Renne, France and in Barcelona, Spain, NextGenIO in Edinburgh, UK, and ESCAPE in Reading, UK.
According to Nick Brown, researcher from INTERTWinE, working with the artists was fascinating. “It allowed us to re-evaluate what we do, why we are doing it, and the impact of it as well,” he said.
“In science, things are right or wrong. In art there is so much grey area in the interpretation. Even if you don’t quite get the answer you’re looking for that’s still okay because it’s still useful as an artistic piece. For me, it was very useful for the different dimensions of what we do. It’s positive to include this in other sorts of scientific projects,” said Brown.
“It’s a very engaging piece,” George Beckett says, who recommends to reserve enough time to spend at the performance in order to understand it, to have the opportunity to get involved with the piece, to talk to the artists, and to ask questions.
Becoming.A(Thing) will be exhibited at the Bozar Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium, from 14th to 30th September 2017. The artists’ residency was part of the Future and Emerging Art and Technology (FEAT) project supported by the EU 7th Framework programme Future and Emerging Technologies (FET).

BOSTON-—It’s easy to say that the No. 10 Harvard men’s hockey team is impressive this year, that it has felled a slew of formidable opponents, and that, all in all, this is a season of which the Crimson can be proud. Nevertheless, it remains impossible to say anything that will lessen the sting of last night’s double-overtime Beanpot defeat.
“It’s a heartbreaking loss,” admitted Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91 of the more-than 82 minute contest, one determined by a high-slot slapshot by Northeastern’s Tim Judy early into the second, 20-minute extra period.
Especially if that somebody loses every year, which has been the case for each current member of the Crimson. In fact, Harvard has not made it past the first round of the Beanpot since 1998, when most of this year’s Crimson seniors were mere freshmen in high school.
“I don’t think it’s really hit me yet,” said captain Noah Welch, who has talked extensively of the tournament’s importance and his now-conquered desire to win one before he graduates.
The February tournament has remained elusive despite any success the Crimson program has enjoyed in recent years, be it consistent or limited to postseason runs. But if ever there was a year for Harvard to buck its history, this would be it.
It is a new and impressive Crimson team that has plowed through its schedule thus far, offering a glimmer of opportunity to the program that has so long suffered Beanpot embarrassments.
Donato spoke of Welch, assistant captain Ryan Lannon and Rob Flynn, Massachusetts natives all three. He spoke of Dov Grumet-Morris, Harvard’s nation-leading goaltender, and of assistant captain Tom Cavanagh and Andrew Lederman and Brendan Bernakevitch.
The seven form a group that has played in the NCAA tournament in each of the last three years, and it has a strong chance to return for a fourth this time around.
But now, there is one prize for which the seniors will never play.
Junior Dan Murphy, who had been sidelined with a shoulder injury since Harvard’s January exam break, returned to the ice after watching his team’s last four games in a suit and tie.

What’s Versatile, Healthy and Delicious… Hummus!
Hummus can be used as a dip, an ingredient, or as an accompaniment to other foods. On average, swapping 1-2 tablespoons of hummus in daily menus led to a decrease in added sugars, sodium and saturated fat, while increasing protein, fiber and iron.
Perhaps the greatest thing about hummus is the flavor punch it adds to food! Simple to make in your own kitchen, try this delicious recipe for yourself!
In a blender or food processor, chop the garlic cloves. Pour garbanzo beans into blender or processor, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish if desired.
Add lemon juice, tahini, salt and cumin. Blend until well blended and creamy.
Add olive oil if you desire at this point.
Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans or other toppings as desired.
*Hummus may be flavored with the addition of black olives, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes or other add-ins, be creative!

'The [FIM] gave its OK looking at the part and saying, 'if you say it's for cooling the tyre, then I think it's OK'. I think we need to raise the level' - Massimo Rivola, Aprilia.
As the wait continues for a verdict from the MotoGP Court of Appeal regarding Ducati's swingarm spoiler used in Qatar, Aprilia has further explained its opposition to the device.
The factory joined Honda, Suzuki and KTM in filing the initial (rejected) protest against the Ducati part, subsequently elevated to the Court of Appeal.
Aprilia are adamant the part should not be allowed since they were previously told a device in that area (which is not covered by the fairing 'Aero Body' rules) could only be used for water deflection and they are certain it creates downforce.
"We were clearly told that a device fitted in that area should not have an aerodynamic purpose, and would have been taken off if it was dry. So we stopped thinking about anything in that area," technical director Romano Albesiano said at the weekend's Aprilia All Stars event.
"We were really surprised that a wing fitted in that area was allowed."
After the final pre-season test in Qatar new guidelines were issued to the teams, but Albesiano said these still excluded downforce parts mounted on the swingarm.
"It was clearly said that a device fitted in that location should not be designed to create downforce. Downforce is one of the aerodynamic effects mentioned, and the purpose of downforce is grip. A wing creates downforce," he said.
On just how much downforce it might create, Albesiano replied: "We did the virtual wind tunnel testing, so called CFD, computational fluid dynamics. We simulated this device in straight line conditions, braking conditions.
"We have figures on the downforce, the drag, and the cooling effect that this device can give. I'm not sure I can give numbers, but from the downforce point of view, it's not negligible, it's something that can make a difference in performance.
"And when the range of riders is separated by hundredths of a second, even a few kilograms of downforce can be a help and make the difference.
"We still hope that the guidelines will be applied and this device will be banned for the future. Otherwise, if it is allowed, we could do something [similar] based on our experience."
New Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola suggested that the FIM had taken Ducati's word on the 'tyre cooling' purpose of the device too easily.
"So far the Federation allowed and gave its OK looking at the part and saying, 'if you say it's for cooling the tyre, then I think it's OK'. I think we need to raise the level. When we say about professionalism? Yes, this for me is something which is not acceptable. And I think you can't disagree, to be honest."
As far as a preferred outcome for the protest, Rivola again stated that Andrea Dovizioso should keep his victory.
"We never asked for the race result to be different than it was. Even at the time of the protest and the appeal, that was clear, at least to Aprilia," he said.
"I don't expect something to change in the very short term, but I expect that everybody understands that there is a need for some clarification [in the rules]. I think that the fact that we made this fuss at the first race, I think it's better to do it straight away.
"From my experience in Formula 1, if we decide to go to the aerodynamic field, it will cost a fortune to everybody. Probably for a very little gain, especially in the areas which are now free, like that one attached where it is. And even more, it is very difficult to police."
But as Albesiano pointed out, hundredths of a second makes a difference in the MotoGP classification, meaning even the smallest of gains must be pursued. The Qatar race was won by 0.023s, with the top five riders covered by 0.6s.
The Court of Appeal verdict is due to be announced sometime before this weekend's Argentina MotoGP.

We measure the success of our customers' database systems and applications based on 4 key factors: transaction performance; availability; capacity; and security.
In an operational environment, up to a certain point it is possible to improve the overall performance of a database system through configuration tuning and workload management. Performance tuning activities are normally covered by our support and DBA services, but we can also provide a system review which can help our customers to understand their performance characteristics in more depth.
Data management services extend the reach of our support services and they tend to focus on long-term or strategic improvements to these 4 key factors. For example, increasing capacity by 5% is operationally achievable whereas increasing it by 300% normally isn't.
Our aim is to help companies understand what is achievable in their current environment with the current level of investment and to assess what is required to achieve a strategic technical objective.

If a person violates an agreement or contract (and not an actual Court Order), then that violation is treated as a breach of contract. This is commonly seen in family law where a party violates a Separation Agreement before that Separation Agreement in incorporated into a Judgment of Absolute Divorce [see discussion of Separation Agreements]. If you run into difficulties with a contract that you have entered into with someone else, the attorneys at Abramson and Rand, LLC can help you.
What must be proved in an action for Breach of Contract?
- To maintain an action for breach of contract, a person must prove (1) the existence of a contractual obligation owed by one party to another and (2) a material breach of that obligation.
- Your proof may be presented before a judge or a Jury.
If I win an action for Breach of Contract, what am I entitled to?
Generally, in breach of contract actions, damages awarded to the non-breaching party are designed to put that party in the same position that he or she would have been had the contract been performed. Other damages, including expenses incurred as the result of the breach of contract, also may be recoverable.

Although one document may answer your specific question, continue looking for additional records. The first document you identify may not have an accurate answer, it may not offer a complete answer, or it may not answer the question at all. Following is a case study that illustrates how analyzing numerous records helped answer the birthdate question and the parentage question for Mary Elizabeth Weightman. The two research questions were then consolidated into the case study.
A daughter was born to George Weightman and Annie Elizabeth Evans on 3 October 1866 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York.
This digital image of a microfilmed original record noted the child’s date of birth, the child’s gender, and her parent’s names, but not a first name. The birth was at 14th Street near 6th Avenue. The doctor attending the birth was Dr. Geo. A. Ostrander. George Weightman provided his signature as the informant for this birth record.
A marriage announcement was published on 2 March 1890 in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper that documented the wedding of Mary Elizabeth Weightman to Henry M. Edwards. A transcription of the article follows.
tion, in the presence of the immediate relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. George Weightman, the Misses A.
ton, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Tooker, Mr. and Mrs.
Julia J. Jones, William Evans, Jacob Evans, Mrs.
Alburtus, Miss Emma A. Halsted, Mr. and Mrs.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Weightman, W. L. Stroud, Jr.
The wedding was at Mary Elizabeth’s home at 120 Hancock Street in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. The Reverend J.G. Bacchus performed the ceremony. The article stated that the wedding was on a Thursday and the newspaper was published on a Sunday, so the couple was married on 27 February 1890. Doctor George A. Ostrander attended Mary Elizabeth Weightman’s marriage. He was the same doctor who attended the female Weightman’s birth on 3 October 1866.
The George Weightman household (and Mary Elizabeth as a small child) was not identified in the 1870 United States Census. Mary Elizabeth was enumerated in the 1880 United States Census with her family. In addition, she was noted as the wife of Henry M. Edwards in the 1900 and the 1910 United States Censuses. Mary Elizabeth was also enumerated in the State of New Jersey 1905 and 1915 Censuses.
The George Weightman household was enumerated in the 1880 United States census in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. The family lived at 259 Putnam Avenue. Both George and his wife Annie E. were thirty-seven. They had three daughters. Mamie E. was thirteen, Annie L. was ten, and Carrie E. was seven. All three daughters were born in New York. Their son, George E. was four and born in New York.
The 1880 United States Census established a birth order for the children of George Weightman and Annie Elizabeth Evans. Mamie was noted as thirteen which placed her birth year as 1866/1867. Mamie was a nickname for Mary and was used interchangeably. Mary Elizabeth’s siblings Annie L., Carrie E. and George E. match the names of those in attendance at her 27 February 1890 marriage.
The census data collected for Mary Elizabeth (Weightman) Edwards was consistent in all instances. She aged appropriately across all censuses and noted October 1866 as her birth whenever given the opportunity. She lived in Glen Ridge, Essex, New Jersey for the 1905 – 1915 censuses.
George Weightman’s probate record was examined. It was filed in Brooklyn, New York, New York and indicated that he died on 25 April 1913.
Annie Elizabeth (Evans) Weightman died on 1 September 1911 according to her probate records filed in Brooklyn, New York, New York. Annie Elizabeth’s heirs were noted on the first page of her probate record. Her husband, George Weightman is listed with his residence noted as 120 Hancock St. in Brooklyn, New York, New York. Annie Elizabeth’s children were listed as Mary Elizabeth Edwards of Glen Ridge, [Essex], New Jersey, Annie Louise Van Etten of Milford, [Pike], Penns [ylvania], and George Edwin Weightman of Brooklyn, New York, New York. Carrie was not listed.
Despite the lack of a first name for the female Weightman child born to George Weightman and Annie Elizabeth (Evans) Weightman on 3 October 1866, a relevant collection of documents survived to determine that Mary Elizabeth Weightman was that child.
Mary Elizabeth’s family life was documented in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper. Her wedding night celebration was at her parents’ house at 120 Hancock Street in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. The 1880 United States Census listed Mary Elizabeth’s siblings as Annie L., Carrie E. and George E. and their attendance at her wedding was noted in the marriage announcement. In addition, the doctor who attended her birth was also listed as attending her wedding.
Mary Elizabeth’s age was consistently accounted for across all censuses she was enumerated within. She clearly knew her birthdate and so did anyone else who answered the census questions.
Both of Mary Elizabeth’s parents had probate records filed in Brooklyn, New York, New York. Their address was still 120 Hancock Street at the time of their deaths. They both listed a Mary Edwards of Glen Ridge, Essex, New Jersey as their child. Their child was Mary Elizabeth Weightman, born on 3 October 1866, in Brooklyn, Kings, New York.
It is tempting to try to find out everything about an ancestor all at once. (Especially if there is nothing known.) But, when we start with little focus, it makes our research more difficult. It is harder to track what records have been searched and what the results are.
If we start with a specific question we can determine what types of records might best answer it. If we want to know when someone was born we would look for different records than if our question is where was someone married.
Is there an answer to the question?
Is it a complete answer?
Is it a partial answer?
Is there another document that also answers the question?
We repeat this process for all the documents we identify.
What a great time to work on our family histories! Have you reached a sticking point in your research? Could you use some help getting un-stuck? Not sure what ship your immigrant ancestor came to America in? Has your research landed in Europe and you can’t read the records? As a professional genealogist, I can help you find the answers to these and many other questions.
My name is Tiffany Dunn and I have been a family historian for 18 years. It has been my pleasure to be a co-chair for two local genealogy conferences, and I have been offering professional services since 2014. I continue to study Family History at Brigham Young University Idaho to make certain I am offering you the best research services possible.
My services are flexible. Would you like a one on one consultation to identify any gaps in your existing research? we can do that. If your database has run amok, we can fix that. Are you clueless but would like to know about your ancestors? we can start there. If you have the desire, we can be a great team.

Family history research makes a great gift all year round. A Family History research report makes a wonderful birthday gift, Mothers’ Day/Fathers’ Day present, or even a thoughtful wedding gift.
Today I am adding sources to my online family trees. I focused on my Revolutionary War ancestors. I enjoy collecting as many sources as possible. There is no such thing as too many sources. When a holiday comes around I often interrupt my major research projects by re-looking for sources online for a specific family, brick wall ancestors, or those who participated in a specific military campaign.
Today, I was delighted to add more sources to Ebenezer Coe, Jr, my 5th Great Grandfather. He was born on July 24, 1735, in Stratford, Connecticut. He served in the 1st Stratford company in the 4th regiment of the Connecticut militia. He had been taken a prisoner in the battle of Long Island but escaped to Harlem Hills on September 25, 1776. He was on the path to be alerted about the advancing British by the famous Sybil Ludington. On April 21, 1777, in the Battle at Ridgefield, he suffered a musket shot through his head. He lost part of his ear and his right eye. He was also stabbed in the side. He survived and lived to be 85 years old. He wasn’t able to serve on the field after these injuries, though. I found some of this information in the invalid pension files on ancestry.com. I found all of the census records for Ebenezer on familysearh.org.
Not only I am thankful for his service, I am thankful that I can find records that help detail his life. When I can find sources about my ancestors, I am able to picture what their lives were like. Don’t forget to attach sources to everyone in your family tree. Happy Ancestor Finding!
FamilySearch Upgrade: What to Do While Site is Down?
On Monday June 27th, FamilySearch will be down for up to 24 hours due to a technical update. I am thankful for the heads-up because it gives me a chance to plan my online family history research when one of my most used websites won’t be available. Hmmm… what to do?
I will explore the Chrome browser extension called RootsSearch. Don’t use Chrome or don’t like extensions? Check out the web version of RootsSearch. I typically compose my own Google and site specific search queries but this tool might pick up something I’ve missed.
On Monday, I will run all of my end-of-line ancestors through RootsSearch to see if I locate any new leads. How does RootsSearch work? First, select an ancestor from an online family tree. I selected George T. Rice from my werelate.org family tree (in view mode). Click on the RootsSearch extension icon in your Chrome Browser. If not using the extension, go to the RootsSearch website and copy and paste the life details into the appropriate fields. I opted for a google search. RootsSearch opens a new tab with your results. One thing I noted while searching for George T. Rice is that RootsSearch added the middle initial T to the surname. Instead of Rice the search results returned the last name, Trice. So I deleted the middle initial. There is a reason that George is an end-of-line ancestor. I tried all of the search options included on RootsSearch except for the NLA Trove and didn’t get any leads.
I know it isn’t the 27th yet, but I am going to try another ancestor. I selected Henry Moore Edwards from my Ancestry.com online tree. First thing I noticed is that RootsSearch extracts more data from the Ancestry profile page than it did from the Werelate profile page. When I choose the Google search the query was built with “~genealogy” and this is too restrictive. I basically found my other online trees.
I don’t give up on a tool easily, so I will keep checking all of my end-of-line ancestors with RootsSearch. It will be worth it if I came up with just one new lead. Let me know how you will do research while FamilySearch is down.
I don’t like to lose things. The most frustrating things I lose track of are keys, important papers, and women in my family tree. To be fair, the women in my ancestry aren’t things, but they are so easy to lose track of, they sometimes seem to be as elusive as those misplaced keys. As I honor the special women in my ancestry, I like to take time to look for “new” details about the women in my family tree. It is so easy to “misplace” the stories of the women in our ancestry. I say “misplace” because there is a wealth of information to be found online.
Today, I researched my paternal grandmother. I only knew her as a grandmother, I never knew much about her childhood or her early marriage. We called her “GrandMommy.” Her birth name was Mary Carolyn Edwards. She went by Carol more often than Mary. She married Eugene Cornelius Reed, Jr. in 1946 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. These are facts I already knew.
I drove past this house as a child; just to see it. Carol lived here while she attended Glen Ridge High School in Essex County New Jersey.
On Ancestry.com I found yearbook photos of Carol. In her senior yearbook each senior was asked questions and her answers were good for a few giggles. She was a story-teller and it was fun to find that story telling was already a gift in high school. I love this high school portrait, I found.
Here’s hoping you don’t have to look for your keys. That time would be better used on growing your family tree.
Select the image you would like to make and then you will be prompted to sign in. Once you sign in you will be brought to the page titled: “Create Your Family Tree Keepsake.” Your family names will be placed on the artwork you selected.
I selected the apple green tree. It will go nicely with my curtains. There are a few options to choose from. You have the option to include a pre-determined background or not. I decided to go without and let the white of my paper be a high contrast. The background offered is a tint of off white.
You may also choose to include just your ancestors or both you and your spouse’s ancestors. The same goes for including children or not. These options make it easier to customize for gift-giving.
The FamilySearch Keepsakes Option would be great to use to create a decorative family tree to include on a family photo wall. If your Family Tree is already built then this would be a super quick craft. If you are handy with a photo editor, you could adjust the colors a bit to coordinate with your home and perhaps add a surname or date.
Comment below when you get a chance to decorate your home with this new tool from FamilySearch. I would love to hear how it goes. I hope this brightens your day. I love to combine family history and creativity.
esented by Amy Crow I encourage you to try: www.historypin.org and www.whatwasthere.com.
I love to find historical photos of the houses and neighborhoods that my ancestors lived in. I often use google maps and street view to see if a house or church are still standing but these sites aim to connect the past to the current. You can actually upload a historical photo and pin it to google maps. Both sites are totally worth a visit and I hope after today’s session at RootsTech they will get a lot more use.
I had fun on www.whatwasthere.com because one of my ancestral hometowns already had photos pinned to google maps. The website actually shows the historical photo lined up on top of the google map and you can use a slider to adjust the fade and compare the past to today.
On www.whatwasthere.com I entered Crystal Falls, Michigan and found several photos that I could overlap with google maps and fade in and out to see what changes had taken place since the photos were taken. Now, Crystal Falls has a population of 1,342 and is off the beaten path on the upper peninsula of Michigan so I get excited any time I can find photos of this beautiful small town. I have photos to upload to this site and am excited to get going. I just joined the site and am happy to have pictures to contribute.
Genealogists are often big on family traditions. Nine years ago my little family started our family history Christmas ornament tradition. It was born out of a need to have non-breakable ornaments on the tree. Our daughter’s first Christmas was heavy on taking the ornaments off the tree and depositing them around the house. Every year we have talked about doing different ornaments but have never been able to do it.
Each year we add photos from the current year. We print the photos, add a caption and sometimes laminate (instant Christmas ornaments). It just depends on what phone and which printer we have during any given December. We tie them on with whatever ribbon is handy. This isn’t fussy or perfect but neither are we. One year features scribbles, another showcases newly acquired cutting skills, and all are filled with love.
We often highlight the funny or the goofy moments and anyone that visted us/we visited during the year makes it to tree status. It is fun to see pictures of my husband who has taught my daughter how to make all of the important silly faces required to make it through life.
May you have fun with your December traditions.
When my future husband and I were dating I wanted to make him a unique birthday gift. I was already spending a large percentage of my time researching my family history and I knew I wanted to make something celebrating his family. I enjoyed cross stitch since I was a young girl and decided to document his immediate family with stitchery.
I took a wonderful picture of the framed cross stitch and then realized that it had living folks’ birthdays stitched on it. Well, as family historians we go to great efforts to not include living people’s information in our shared trees or online at all. So, I cropped in on parts of the sampler that wouldn’t show any of those details.
The piece was stitched in 1999 and signed and framed in 2000. It measures 12″ by 16″. You can see that I included the state and state flowers where applicable. I also included icons of things that were important to my husband such as a cd because he loved listening to and making music.
I encourage you to combine your interests. Perhaps paint a watercolor of a photograpgh from your family history. Or, make a quilt with “signature blocks” of your ancestors’ names. Whatever you decide to make to celebrate your family history don’t forget to “sign it” in some way for future family historians.

Paul Falkowski looks "under the hood" of microbes to find the engines of life, the actual working parts that do the biochemical heavy lifting for every living organism on Earth. With insight and humor, he explains how these miniature engines are built - and how they have been appropriated by and assembled like Lego sets within every creature that walks, swims, or flies. Falkowski shows how evolution works to maintain this core machinery of life, and how we and other animals are veritable conglomerations of microbes.
Maybe it was a viral pandemic or an asteroid strike or perhaps nuclear war. Whatever the cause, the world as we know it has ended, and you and the other survivors must start again. What key knowledge would you need to start rebuilding civilisation from scratch? Once you’ve scavenged what you can, how do you begin producing the essentials? How do you grow food, generate power, prepare medicines, or get metal out of rocks? Could you avert another Dark Ages or take shortcuts to accelerate redevelopment?
Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life's dynamics. Bringing together firsthand experience of science at the cutting edge with unparalleled gifts of exposition and explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences.
Drawing on recent groundbreaking experiments around the world, they show how photosynthesis relies on subatomic particles existing in many places at once while inside enzymes, those workhorses of life that make every molecule within our cells, particles vanish from one point in space and instantly materialize in another.
Each chapter in Life on the Edge opens with an engaging example that illustrates one of life’s puzzles - How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes manage to copy themselves with such precision? - and then reveals how quantum mechanics delivers its answer.
Guiding the reader through the maze of rapidly unfolding discovery, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate vividly the excitement of this explosive new field of quantum biology, with its potentially revolutionary applications, and offer insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate here, life lives on the quantum edge.
this book simply explains the quantum nature of life in the context of biological sciences and quantum mechanics. very well written and emotionally compelling.
I stumbled upon this book, rather accidentally. It has been a truly remarkable learning experience to understand quauntum principles as fundamental to organic life! A peep into cutting edge research thinking. As a lay reader, interested in Science and pondering about life, it was filled with amazement of so many new ideas and insights. Some parts are challenging to comprehend without the in-depth exposure to quantum science, which I lacked. Overall, if one is interested in the question of what this Life is all about and if one has been exploring spirituality, this book is a highly recommended read (listen)!
revolutionizing ideas in the junction of many disciplines. very well written for a complex science book.
What made the experience of listening to Life on the Edge the most enjoyable?
As this is a review of an audio book, the prize has to go to the narrator, Pete Cross. His is one of the most pleasant reading voices I have yet listened to - and important for a scientific work. He engages the listener with his smooth reading style, very good voice tone and timbre and has taken the trouble to pronounce scientific words clearly. His diction and pronunciation cannot be faulted and he makes the contents compelling and interesting. In addition, the book itself is an extraordinary read and I have subsequently purchased the paperback as well for annotation purposes.
This is a compelling story of how quantum physics has expanded into the field of biology. The authors have delineated the process of how it all happened by quoting studies and experiments and have made the concepts very clear for a science-loving non-scientist. Famous physicists such as Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger and Richard Feynman ('What I cannot create, I do not understand') are given their place in history while modern experimental findings tell of mankind's further adventures into this minuscule world. Thermodynamics, tunnelling and entanglement are explained with clear examples, along with the mysterious way in which measurement affects behaviour in the quantum world, not a new concept, but puts it into context. We have so much to learn.
A very interesting book but sometimes a little hard to follow, but that is the nature of the subject.
I really wish it had been narrated by Jim and surprised it was not considering his Radio 4 and BBC TV work. I would preferred to hear his calm, traditional English voice than to the colonial one, which often mangled British names and places.
Would you listen to Life on the Edge again? Why?
Yes, its needed there are some great ideas that need re listening (in my case) to fully take in the absolute content of the book.
Which character – as performed by Pete Cross – was your favourite?
A truly eye opening book, with extremely convincing arguments to link how the very unlikely and paradoxical world of quantum dynamics may be the only reason that any life, as we know it, can exist.
The nuances of the effects of QD are eye opening in the extreme. The apparent workings of QD in the "warm and wet" environment of all living cells are so unlikely and of potentially world-changing in its possibilities in areas well outside living things, for instance, being able to use the effect to increase the energy extraction from the sun by using the same effect that photosynthesis does (which is almost 100% efficient!), would utterly change the possible options for our world energy requirements.
This is notwithstanding the question of how life came into existence in the first place, which is still a very live and puzzling thing.
The reader did his job well, although being English, there were naturally certain word pronunciations that grated - so not his fault!
I'd recommend this book to any enquiring mind. It will inspire you to view the world in a very different way. It's as though one has climbed a hill in what at first appeared an unpromising area and suddenly found oneself overlooking a stunning panorama with endless possibilities!
worth read again and again!
finally philosophy, quantum biology, physics and mechanic together! very good put together, worth reading again!
This was recommended by a physicist friend. It's highly readable despite providing a full revision of modern physics before explaining new learning about the role quantum mechanics plays in the biology of life. I thought I had a reasonable grasp of biology but this stuff is dynamite!

If we haven’t yet met, Hi! My name is Corinna and I’m the blogger behind For My Love Of. Please, stop by and check things out sometime! Today I’m here to share an easy craft- A Handmade Tribal Mobile!
I’m sure you know, but there’s been a fun surgence of tribal inspired decor hitting the scene. I wanted to make something inspired by this latest trend, but go off the beaten path a bit. This mobile is easy to create and can be made with minimal supplies!
Dowel rods, hand saw, jute twine. Optional: Gold leaf supplies and acrylic paints.
You’ll need to start off by cutting the dowel rods to the desired length. My dowel rods were 12 inches and I cut them into thirds (4 inches). I knew I wanted to use gold leaf on them so I stuck thumb tacks into an end of each rod to make holding them easier.
To allow the finish to dry undisturbed on the rods, I cut small holes into these little cardboard containers. I had actually started this project with a different intention. I wanted to make a starburst clock but didn’t have enough dowel rods to get out of the nautical feel. Talk about a lucky mistake!
If I find a solution to my failed sunburst clock, I’ll be sure to update you guys! But for now, while the finish dries on the dowel rods, you can pull out a clip board and about 2 yards of jute twine.
Fold the twine in half and tie a knot to create a loop to hang the mobile from. Slip the knot underneath the clip of the clipboard.
Using overhand knots, tie the dowels onto the twine. I tied them so that the overlap of the knots were on the same side (backside for me) and tied the ends into one ooverhand knot then cut off the excess . If you need a reference for common knots, check out my How To Macrame – 5 Essential Knots post!
I chose to hang mine on the end of one of my DIY Gold Bamboo Curtain Rods. I am completely loving the feel of bohemian decor right now and I feel like this adds a dose of that feel to our living room.
If you enjoyed this project, be sure to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest to keep updated with my progress decorating our Living Room!

While many fantastic wholesale sources can be found online, there are also a huge number of sites developed specifically to scam sellers looking for a good deal.
So how do you tell whether you are dealing with a real wholesale supplier?
A supplier may be selling fakes of big name brands but this doesn’t necessarily mean he is out to scam you. There are many suppliers in China and other countries selling fakes, but as long as you realize what you are buying, that is not a problem in itself.
The supplier may say they can only accept Western union and wire transfers as payment. These are insecure payment methods, but for Chinese suppliers, these are often the only two options available as credit cards (and therefore Paypal) are almost impossible to get. You should always take the precaution of ordering only a small amount when dealing with a supplier who only takes Western Union and wire transfer for the first time, but many legitimate manufacturers and wholesalers use these methods out of necessity rather than because they are illegitimate.
Fake address – either it doesn’t exist or it exists in a poor or residential area.
No contact details listed on the website.
When you call, the telephone is answered by an individual who does not identify himself on picking up the phone.
You are not asked for a business or tax number.
The company suddenly stop replying to your emails.
Parts of the text or images on their site are copies from other websites.
When you place an order, the company claims they do not have any stock, but want to receive the money before ordering any in.
Your contact becomes shifty when you ask for a product sample.
Copy and paste some text into Google. If it is copied from another site, you’ll soon discover it in the search results.
Check that the website gives a full business name and a registration number.
Ring them to verify the phone number given is good, but don’t accept a mobile phone number as enough; all companies should have a land line number.
As for a photograph of the stock with the company logo in the background. Go to www.coolwhois.com and search for the name of the website. A legitimate company will have been operating for over a year (at least!) and their expiration date will be for several years time. Most legitimate companies reserve their domain names for 3-5 years or more at a time.
Use secure payment methods such as Escrow, Cod and Paypal Verified whenever possible.
Ask other sellers what their experiences have been with the company on forums.

How Far From the Road and Property Line Can I Build My Fence?
If you are planning to install a perimeter fence around your Houston, Texas, property, there are a few things to consider before you start. How close you place a fence from your property line to a road or easement depends on where you live. Restrictions can be imposed by your subdivision, homeowner’s association or property deed. State, municipal and county zoning laws and regulations also govern how close a fence may be built to a road or easement.
It is usually up to the property owner to find out what rules apply to the proposed project. As you make your plans, contact an experienced, bonded Houston fence company to help you decide how to best align the fence.
Before you build a fence, you must ascertain the boundaries of your property. You may have a plat of survey as part of your mortgage documents. The county clerk’s office may also have one on file. If you do not have a legal document showing the limits of your property, ask for a survey. A survey shows the boundary of your property plus all existing structures on the property. Some improvements require a building permit. If you need a permit, a survey may be required.
Each community has its own regulations about fences. In the city of Houston, building a fence has few restrictions. In general, fences lower than 8 feet high do not require a permit. However, there are a few Houston fence rules that do require a permit. If you want to build in an area that floods or make the fence out of concrete or masonry, a permit may be required.
The Woodlands sets its own standards for fencing, and all projects must be approved by the community’s governing body. For example, front yard fences must be set back 5 feet from property lines and 10 feet from driveways of adjacent properties. You may want to hire a local fencing company that has worked within a community or subdivision because they are familiar with the codes and designs allowed in the area. Summit Fence North has worked in The Woodlands and knows the restrictions and requirements for fencing in this community.
Summit Fence North is a Houston fence company for residential and commercial properties in the area, including Houston, Conroe, Cypress, Spring and The Woodlands. We are a family-owned business with more than 20 years of experience. Summit Fence designs attractive fencing that offers privacy and security for your property. We work with several mediums, including wood, iron, chain link, vinyl and aluminum. Summit Fence installs controlled-access gate openers for ease of use and security. Our Houston wood fence designs and our creations with other fencing materials are original, aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the requirements of your community.

The Sino-Russian Challenge to the World Order is the third volume in a trilogy on national identity. The first two volumes, edited by Gilbert Rozman, concerned the identities of three East Asian countries: China, Japan, and South Korea. The contributors first analyzed how these countries’ national identities suffered through their relation to modernization, and then examined how the national identity of each differed from the other two and how those differences were shaped by the relation of each country to the United States.
In this third volume, Rozman examines Russia as well as China. The Sino-Russian Challenge to the World Order argues that China and Russia’s national identities are much closer to each other than usually thought, and are growing even closer. The closeness of their identities comes neither from their prerevolutionary pasts nor from today’s practical politics, but rather from habits carried over from their communist periods. Even though the contribution of ideology to identity has been diminished for both countries since 1990, ideology is only one dimension of identity among six. The other dimensions of identity under communism bring the two countries closer, and even the ideological identity gap is smaller than it first appears. Furthermore, the national identity of these two countries must be reconstructed alongside the dismantling of traditional communism in order to achieve successful reform.
Gilbert Rozman is Musgrave Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. His research examines comparisons of national identities and their impact on bilateral relations. His publications include Strategic Thinking about the Korean Nuclear Crisis: Four Countries Caught between North Korea and the United States (2011), and U.S. Leadership, History, and Bilateral Relations in Northeast Asia (2011). His edited volumes include the two predecessors to the present volume—East Asian National Identities: Common Roots and Chinese Exceptionalism and National Identities and Bilateral Relations: Widening Gaps in East Asia and Chinese Demonization of the United States (Woodrow Wilson Center Press and Stanford University Press, 2012 and 2013). Rozman was a fellow at the Wilson Center in 2010–11.

Rather than traditional slide switches, Marr’s signature Jaguar has a special four-way blade pickup switch on the lower horn, delivering the bridge pickup alone, the bridge and neck pickups in parallel, the neck pickup alone, and the neck and bridge pickups in series.
The Johnny Marr Jaguar features special nylon bridge-post inserts for improved bridge stability, and a "taller" tremolo arm with a nylon-sleeve insert to keep it from swinging loose.
In an especially authentic touch, the neck on this signature model has a comfortably broken-in custom profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) based directly on Marr’s 1965 Jaguar.?
For specially voiced tone worthy of such an inventive and versatile guitarist, this Jaguar is built with "Bare Knuckle" Johnny Marr single-coil custom-wound neck and bridge pickups.
In an extra-special design element, the upper horn of the Johnny Marr Jaguar features two slide switches—a "universal" bright switch that kicks everything up a notch or two, and a separate bright switch that only affects the "series" pickup switch position.

Children should be provided with sufficient food to eat throughout the day; at morning break, lunch time and afternoon break. Hungry children find it difficult to concentrate.
All foods that are brought to school must have a recognisable Hechsher and any milky products must be Cholov Yisroel.
All foods brought into school must be nut free. This includes items such a bread coated with sesame. We do have children in school who have nut allergies and so ask you to carefully check the listed ingredients, especially on products such as cereal bars.
Children should bring fresh fruit or vegetables for the morning and afternoon break times. We will provide milk in the morning for Early Years, or water if your child does not drink milk, and the children can re-fill their water bottles during the day.
Packed lunch: this must include a slice of bread so that the children are able to wash and bensch together. Lunch should be either milky or parev.
In addition they should bring a starchy food such as sandwiches, pasta, rice, couscous, noodles, potatoes or other type of cereals every day; a vegetable or fruit snack (fruit bars or flakes); dairy foods such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, fromage frais or custard; a drink of still or sparkling water or fruit juice. A few plain biscuits, rice cakes, crackers or a small piece of cake may be included as part of a balanced meal.
As fridge space is not available in school, pupils are advised to bring packed lunches in insulated bags with freezer blocks where possible to stop the food going off especially in the warm summer months.
Packed lunches may NOT include: crisps, bissli, chocolate bars, sweets or fizzy drinks.
On Rosh Chodesh only children can bring crisps, pretzels or a chocolate biscuit to school. No sweets, chewing gum, fruit winders or lollipops are allowed at any time in school or on outings.
Thank you in advance for helping us to implement this framework.

As the largest city in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, Albuquerque has started to unleash itself from the post-recession shackles. The predictions for the market are that the average home prices will continue to increase in the 4% range. Average home prices in Albuquerque have been increasing on a monthly basis over the past year, with the number of homes sold also increasing each month. The high demand for and low supply of homes has led to a constant price increase.
The head of the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors (GAAR), President Don Martindell, stated that the local housing market is a fast-paced one. Homes that are priced right are selling quickly in the greater Albuquerque area, which hosts around 910,000 residents. According to Martindell, the quick turnaround time of homes on the market portrays a market that is two weeks faster than the rest of the country. Homes have an average 54-day stay on the market while whole multifamily condos and townhouses sell within 43 days, on average.
According to the GAAR, houses under contract are at a 14-year high. In fact, houses under contract in March were at a 22.7% high compared to the previous year at that time. The median value of a home in Albuquerque stands at $183,400, an overall increase of 5.2% compared to the same time in 2017, according to Zillow.
The rental market has shown a positive outcome so far for 2017. Vacancies have maintained a low level since last year while rentals have had strong gains posted against previous years. Vacancies were at just 4.5% at the end of the first quarter, and rental price rises have reached an average of $791 p/m in Q1, which is a rise of 5 percent from the previous year. This displays an acceleration in rental growth since 2014, when the average growth per year was 2.7%.
Consumer confidence remains high with a low unemployment rate servicing the growing trend for this market. CBS News ranked Albuquerque as one of the best up-and-coming towns for college grads. Forbes rated the city as seventh among America's Engineering Capitals in 2014. Additionally, the city has been recognized by many as a great place to live for enhanced work/life balance.
As for cost of living, Salary.com named Albuquerque as one of the top places to build wealth. This is due to its reasonable housing prices and prices in general. With over 310 days of sunshine a year and outdoor recreational activities, the city also offers a fresh lifestyle choice for millennials looking to relocate.
The employment sector in the Albuquerque metro is stable and growing, with the government sector still accounting for 20% of all paid jobs in the economy. The city plays a pivotal role as the center of the New Mexico technology corridor, with a large amount of high-tech companies and government institutions located within it or in its proximity. These include Kirtland Air Force Base, the Los Alamos National Labs, and Sandia National Laboratories. The city is also home to the University of New Mexico.
Albuquerque is also ranked amongst the top metros in the nation for the percentage of workforce with college degrees. For instance, 32% of the workforce has a bachelor's or advanced degree. The education and health sectors also continue to drive expansion of the local economy, with these sectors adding an average of 4% more jobs year after year since 2014.
With a progressive job sector and healthy local economy driving the local real estate market, things are looking bright on the investment front in Albuquerque. The city has a continued demand for rentals, and real estate appreciation is forecast for years to come.

IGI gurus should understand that adding rules to Live Events is really the only way you are going to get maximum value from your IGI deployment. Out of the box features within identity tools are rarely sufficiently detailed enough to allow for production deployment and there is always a need to enhance these processes with organisation-specific rules and definitions.
IGI gurus will also be aware that the firing of rules can be somewhat hit and miss. Placing objects into the USER_ERC table will fire a Live Event on the IN queue, but writing an advanced rule to perform a SQL update of the same database table using the internal scheduler will NOT fire a Live Event!
Similarly, modifying a user in the Administration Console will not fire an event either unless you specifically "Enable Internal Events" on your Settings tab.
Enabling Internal Events, however, will only allow a handful of events to trigger a rule, For example, you can add business logic to the Add Entitlement event, but you cannot add business logic to the Publish Entitlement event or the Add Entitlement to an OU event. Maybe one day this will be enabled (and I really hope some of the IBM Development Team read this)!
This piece of code should be added to the BEFORE ruleflow within Rules/Live/Internal. This code instructs the platform to always save the event within the database tables which makes the event visible in the Monitor/INTERNAL tab.
Now you can see what is going on in your system and maybe even replay events.
NOTE: Should you wish to look in your log files for anything you may be spewing out from your rules within Rules/Live/Internal, you may have to look at the accessgovernancecore_event_out.log file. Don't ask why!

Research engagement is about working with research collaborations in every discipline to facilitate the most effective use of available tools and technologies for optimal research success.
TF-RED focuses on working with local research support offices and IT departments to help researchers use networks and related tools to improve their use of computing, data, and facilities, either on a local, national or international scale.
The participating NRENs work within their countries to engage with research support offices and collaborations. The results of the task force will yield documentation for other NRENs to develop their own form of research engagement, which will benefit the various research domains and e-infrastructures on a global scale.
Due to the global orientation of TF-RED, most of its all-hands meetings take place via video conference.

The International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) is a vehicle through which members share information and ideas that enhance the leadership of arts units. ICFAD is the only organization focusing exclusively on issues that impact all creative units in higher education. ICFAD works to provide a foundation that allows you to do your job better and to expand your circle of contacts with people who share your challenges and experiences.
ICFAD helps train new deans and hone the talents of those who will be rising into leadership. Likewise, many annual conference sessions provide direct help, training, and advice on issues that are faced by all: fundraising, personnel review, and P&T issues, just to name a few. ICFAD also shares exciting new ideas and innovations developed by our colleagues.
ICFAD puts you in contact with other deans who share your interests, background, and challenges. For example, the ICFAD forum lets you immediately contact the entire membership for advice or information. Conferences allow you to network and find people who provide a wealth of information and professional guidance.
Discounted registration fee to attend our Annual Conference. 86 percent of survey respondents responded that the 51st Annual Conference of the International Council of Fine Arts Deans met expectations, and also stated "My participation at this conference will enhance my job performance." 93 percent stated that the registration fee was worth the quality of the Conference. Mark your calendar now for our 52nd Annual Conference October 21 – 24 in Atlanta's Midtown District.
International Symposiums. The ICFAD triennial international summer symposiums are informative and educational experiences that address global issues in the arts. The programs take advantage of the unique cultural aspects of the selected host sites and involve arts administrators, artists and government leaders of the area. The cultural enrichment that ICFAD's international members bring to the organization can be highlighted through the venues that are selected for the symposium. Plan to join us as we travel to China in 2017.
Donor Development events. Members are cordially invited to join colleagues for Spoleto 2015 and other events annually, and encouraged to bring donors or potential donors. These events are great opportunities to express your appreciation, and to cultivate deeper relationships through special experiences with the arts.
Top-notch Continuing Education. 100 percent of survey respondents who attended the Development Workshop in 2014 said that the program met or exceeded expectations. Mentoring Initiatives for New Deans (MIND) provides valuable small-group discussions about real world experiences for Deans of fewer than three years with experienced mentors. The Fellows Program inspires enthusiasm for leadership opportunities while providing a venue for those who are considering a transition into administrative roles in arts higher education to learn and practice elements of academic leadership.
Two formats for interactive Dean e-discussion. Communications from the Member Forum and our e-list are stored on our website for future reference, at your convenience and as needed.
Representation at national Arts Advocacy meetings and events. Your ICFAD Board of Directors and Executive Director are in touch with leaders from Americans for the Arts, as well as other membership-based associations reaching arts administrators in higher education on an on-going basis.
Representation at The Working Group on the Arts in Higher Education (WGAHE). Annually, trustees of the Council of Arts Accrediting Associations (CAAA), the Executive Committee of ICFAD, and their Executive Directors meet to discuss accreditation issues facing institutions of higher education. The CAAA Trustees are the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the four arts accrediting associations, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD), the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), and the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST).
Complimentary Job Postings. Share opportunities at your institution with our members by e-mail and website posting for 90 days. Receive opportunities at other institutions by e-mail, as they are posted.
Communications throughout the year. Letting you know what other institutions are doing for their students, faculty and communities. And sharing with you how the Deans are getting it done!
Comprehensive data from our annual Executive Data Exchange. Formerly known as the Salary Survey, the questions and results have expanded to include information about budgets, staffing, programming and salaries from arts institutions of higher education.
Relationship building with colleagues. Collaborative efforts in ensuring transferability of fine arts credits from community colleges; developing entrepreneurship and creative industries programs; personnel challenges; striving to achieve innovations in social justice; strengthening university – community partnerships in the arts; and more were some of the issues addressed collaboratively this year.
Searchable on-line membership directory. Share the "Find an ICFAD Member" feature with your Administrative Assistant. It's quick and easy. No log-in required.

On a luxury cruise ship, the Argonautica, something hits the ship and attacks the crew and the passengers. Meanwhile Treat Williams and his crew are taking a bunch of mercenaries out into the middle of the ocean to an undisclosed location.
Williams and the mercs discover the ship at which point the mercs reveal they were hired to rob the ship and the passengers. They board the ship looking for the vault.
Meanwhile Williams and his crew try to find parts to repair their ship which was damaged by a loose boat from the cruise ship. Both parties are attacked by the creatures which look like weird tentacle monsters.
They find survivors including thief Famke Janssen and the owner of the cruise ship who actually hired the mercenaries to rob his own unprofitable cruise ship.
Like I said the movie is stupid but entertaining and writer director Stephen Sommers would go on to direct the reboot of The Mummy to greater success.

Pothundi Dam is the first stop over after crossing the Kaikatty Junction on the Nelliampathi Hill Station, the first stopover is the Pothundi Dam. This dam is the source of irrigation for paddy fields in adjacent areas. Pothundi dam was actually built across two tributary rivers of Ayalar rivers, namely Meenchadyppuzha and Padippuzha. The interesting feature of this dam is the entire structure was built using boulders and not iron or steel. The mixture of Jaggery and Limestone were used in place of cement and concrete paste. This dam was constructed in 18th century amidst of picturesque view of surrounding Western Ghats.

If the Participant is already receiving a pension benefit at the time the final DRO is submitted, the ex-spouse’s distribution will commence with the next available pension payroll period. If an ex-spouse is entitled to a retroactive distribution, the DRO should clearly state that intent and provide a payment schedule setting forth an additional deduction to be taken from the Participant’s retirement allowance until the ex-spouse’s retroactive payment is satisfied in full.
Retirement System policy requires proof of divorce before implementation of a DRO. Please provide the Retirement System with a certified photocopy of the Judgment of Divorce.
Specifically identify the information to be released.
The Retirement System will not accept a general release.
Alternatively, the information sought may be obtained by subpoena. In accordance with New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 2307, a Subpoena Duces Tecum to be served on a bureau or department of the State of New York must be “So Ordered” by a Justice of the Supreme Court in the district where the records are located or, for actions within New York State, by a Judge of the Court in which the action is placed on trial. The Retirement System will reject an attorney-issued subpoena.
Additionally, service by mail is not effective without a prior attempt at personal service.
Qualified Status — References to a qualified status, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 or the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) must be deleted from any proposed or final DRO.
Assignment — Retirement System Participants are prohibited from making an assignment of retirement benefits (Retirement and Social Security Law Section 110). A distribution may be made following the specific direction of the court only.
Earliest Retirement Age — The earliest date benefits will be paid to a Participant or an ex-spouse is the Participant’s actual date of retirement. Benefits cannot commence at the Participant’s earliest eligible retirement age. The laws of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that provide for pension distributions at the earliest eligibility age are not applicable to governmental plans such as the Retirement System.
Lump Sum Distribution — The Retirement System cannot accept references to lump sum distributions. Retirement System benefits are payable on a monthly basis and, unless the Participant is a member of the Police and Fire Retirement System in a Special 20- or 25- Year Plan which allows for a partial lump sum distribution, a lump sum distribution is not possible.
Separate Accounts — The Retirement System does not maintain separate accounts for Participants and ex-spouses. All of the assets of the Retirement System are held for investment purposes in the Common Retirement Fund. Upon retirement, a Participant’s retirement benefit is calculated according to his or her retirement plan and the amount necessary to provide for the pension is transferred to the pension reserve fund. The retirement benefit and any distributions taken in favor of the ex-spouse are then paid on a monthly basis from the pension reserve fund. Accordingly, there is no statutory authority to establish a separate account for an ex-spouse.
Ex-spouse Beneficiary Designation — An ex-spouse is not permitted to designate a beneficiary or elect a form of payment. There is no provision in the Retirement and Social Security Law for an ex-spouse to designate a beneficiary or to elect a method of payment. The qualifications and rights of membership are established by statute (see Retirement and Social Security Law Article 2, Title 5). There is no authority given to grant the rights and privileges of membership to a third party.
Spousal Consent — Unlike private pension plans, governmental plans are not required to obtain a spouse’s consent to the waiver of benefits.
Renunciations — The beneficiary under a “pop-up” retirement option election may not renounce his or her beneficiary status as a means to prematurely recalculate the Participant’s retirement benefit to the Single Life Allowance Option.
Option Elections — If a Participant is already retired at the time a DRO is submitted to the Retirement System and the Participant’s option election at the time of retirement was not made in violation of a pre-existing court order or agreement, then his or her option election is irrevocable. The Retirement System cannot accept a DRO requiring the Participant to designate the ex-spouse as a beneficiary under another option election.

Merton Council is calling on local residents and businesses to pull on their gloves, take up their litter picks and get involved in the Big Tidy Up Friday 3 March to Sunday 5 March.
Merton has signed up to Keep Britain Tidy’s UK-wide Big Tidy Up, just one of the ways in which it is working to clear rubbish from the borough’s streets and tackle litter louts who drop tonnes of rubbish in Merton every year at an annual cost of over £5 million to Merton’s taxpayers.
Residents and businesses who want to get involved should call 020 8545 3173 and the council will help put them in touch with community clean-up organisers or help them organise their own.
Local environmental group Sustainable Merton will be organising a clean-up in Morden town centre and will be joined by over 20 young people from the Baitul Futuh Mosque in Morden who have a long history of helping with keeping Morden clean.
Sustainable Merton will also be organising a clean-up in Figges Marsh with the residents’ group there. The Gorringe Park Pub staff will be taking part too.
The Friends of Ravensbury Park, at their monthly workday, will be inviting members of the community to join them to ensure the park is spick and span for park users to enjoy.

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Isaiah Thomas finally got the Phoenix Suns over the hump.
Thomas had 23 points off the bench and the Suns defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-89 on Friday night.
After the Suns came close many times throughout the game to take a lead over the defending champs, Thomas blew past Boris Diaw in the open floor to finally put the hosts in front 88-87 with 3:34 left.
San Antonio trailed 92-89 with 6.5 seconds remaining following a timeout, but Diaw was whistled for a five-second violation just before he signaled for a 20-second timeout. Eric Bledsoe sunk two game-clinching free throws at the other end.
Markieff Morris posted 20 points and 11 rebounds, Eric Bledsoe tallied 12 points and nine boards and Alex Len provided his first career double-double, 10 points and 11 rebounds, off the pine for Phoenix, which beat the Los Angeles Lakers in its season opener Wednesday.
"The way he was playing with his length had a real effect on the game," Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek said of Len.
Tony Parker supplied 19 points and six assists, while Tim Duncan added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs, who edged Dallas in their first game of the year on Tuesday.
"It just didn't go our way. We didn't get baskets and we didn't get the stops that we needed to win the game," said Parker. "It just happens, it's basketball, it just didn't go our way."
Parker and Marco Belinelli sandwiched 3-pointers around a Gerald Green triple to stake the Spurs to a 77-70 cushion early in the fourth before three consecutive Thomas buckets trimmed the gap to 77-76.
San Antonio, though, responded with an 8-1 spurt, with a Cory Joseph turnaround jumper providing it an 84-78 spread with 6:53 to play.
Phoenix answered back with a 12-3 surge and Hornacek used a three point guard lineup in the final 4:35.
After Thomas' layup, Morris sunk two free throws and then put down a dunk off a Len interior pass to make it 92-87 in favor of Phoenix with 1:09 left on the clock.
Manu Ginobili was fouled on a three and made 2-of-3 foul shots at the other end. Bledsoe was off on a jumper, Len backtapped the ball back to Thomas to retain possession, but Thomas misfired to give San Antonio possession with 16.9 ticks left.
Earlier, a 15-3 Spurs first-quarter swing gave them an early 24-9 margin and they led 24-11 after the frame.
The Suns began the second with a 13-2 run and later tied the game at 30-30 midway through the stanza after Len threw down an alley-oop pass from Bledsoe.
San Antonio responded by putting in eight straight points and took a 45-36 lead into the break.
The Spurs took a 71-67 edge into the fourth.
Thomas became the fourth Sun, joining Tom Chambers, Tom Gugliotta and A.C. Green, to scored at least 23 points in his first two games with the team ... Phoenix shot just 2-of-18 (11.1 percent) from beyond the arc, but made 22-of-26 (84.6 percent) from the foul line.

Within the historic walls of the Hostería San Millán (La Rioja), surrounded by Monastery of Yuso, we find the restaurant In Vino Veritas, which has been recently renovated by the design studio La Proyectual.
Among other things, there has been an intervention in lighting, decoration, coatings, conservation of the original pavement by means of nanoparticle treatment and separation of the buffet.
To do so, the interior designers used a space divider of Kriskadecor, measuring 4 x 3.20 meters, which reproduces an image in high definition and, in full color, of Santo Domingo de Silos.

Due to the constant violence and threat of war in Israel, our missionaries have never had a greater impact for Messiah than right now! And through our Messianic Centers in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, we have planted congregations and trained leaders to teach that Jesus is the Messiah in the Jewish Bible—but we have so much more work to do!

This has been a deadly week of violence in the city of Chicago. As I watched the political conversation about gun violence and the need for reform of our gun laws, I thought of how this same issue played out in Vermont. It is unusual for elected leaders to change their minds on important issues – but it can be a sign of good leadership. Below is a public radio commentary I provided after Vermont’s governor changed his position on gun control.
One of the best parts of serving in public office is getting to hear from Vermonters from every part of the state, and all walks of life. Not only was it interesting to hear about their aspirations and struggles, but it was important for me, as a leader, to see how their lives could be impacted by decisions we were making in Montpelier. Sometimes, after one of these conversations, I would see an issue in an entirely new way, and it would lead me to change my mind about a policy I was considering.
I still remember, when I first ran for Secretary of State, being told by an old-timer, to be careful of the stands I took during the campaign. He warned that politicians take great risks when they change their mind about important issues, and that no one respects a leader whose positions blow with the wind of public opinion.
Whether the issue is gun control, as we’re seeing today, or in my case, same day voter registration, when a political leader changes their position, it’ll leave some voters disappointed and angry.
So, it should come as no surprise that some of Governor Scott’s supporters are expressing dismay that his position on gun control “evolved” since he took office last year. They’re calling him a traitor – a flip-flopper – and worse. But, for the governor, the issue of gun control is no longer just about an individual’s right to bear arms; he must also think about keeping children safe in school, protecting victims of domestic assault and reducing the risk to Vermonters from gun violence.
Nelson Mandela famously said, “where you stand depends upon where you sit.” By this, he meant that our views on the world are greatly determined by our experiences. Our experiences, in turn, are largely influenced by our upbringing, our economic status, and the people who surround us. For that reason, it’s important for political leaders to hear from a broad cross-section of the state, to expose themselves to a variety of viewpoints, and to keep an open mind.
It’s much easier to be for something – or against it – when you’ve the luxury of looking at the issue only from your own limited set of experiences. Our democracy is stronger – and more representative – when the opinions of political leaders evolve as they learn more about the issue, and about the people they represent.

Do you know of any locations that could benefit from your activity?
Do you know the community groups or other people in your community that could help you identify a site for your shoreline cleanup?
The New Brunswick Environmental Network can help you get in touch with groups in your community who can advise you; don’t hesitate to contact us for more information!
Once you decide where your activity will take place, you will have to find out who is the landowner (your municipality, etc.), contact said landowner and make sure you obtain the approval to conduct your cleanup. The shoreline might be owned by your municipality, the provincial government, a business, an individual or something similar.
Your shoreline cleanup will generate waste that you will need to manage during and after your activity. It is important to inform your solid waste commission about your event to make the necessary arrangements in order to eliminate the waste you will gather.
Use “Sharps” containers for the disposal of glass shards, hard plastic, and metal.
Watch where you step. Wet rocks and logs can be very slippery. Loose rocks can shift and move, causing you to fall.
Check river, lake, and wetland water levels before your cleanup day. Move your cleanup further away from the water’s edge if levels are too high.
If your cleanup is along an ocean shoreline, make sure you are aware of the local tide schedule.
If your cleanup is along a river shoreline, keep your participants a safe distance from the water. River currents can be much stronger and deeper than they appear.
If you encounter any waste you think may be hazardous or toxic, mark the area with flagging tape and contact local authorities immediately.
Do not remove chemical containers or large drums or barrels and be very cautious with them, as their contents may be dangerous.
Make note of any markings on the container that may help authorities identify the contents.
Never approach any animal, dead or alive!
If you encounter an alive entangled animal, please notify the Department of Energy and Resource Development at 506-453-3826. NEVER attempt to detangle an animal yourself.
If you find a dead marine mammal, please notify the Department of Energy and Resource Development at the number above. Aquatic mammals that appear to be stranded without entanglement should be left for 24 hours. After 24 hours, please notify.

Gabela, a rich archeological site on the Neretva bank! Situated five kilometres south of the Čapljina City!
Among a great number of notable mideval buildings, there are still remains of old City walls, as well as a sculpture of a stone lion – a symbol of Venetian culture.
For its remarkable geostrategic position, Gabela was linked to the most famous Homer's work. Mexican archeologist Roberto Salinas Price has claimed that Gabela was actually ancient Homer's Troy.
