11 Social Media Safety Tips For Students contributed by Louis Burgman With connectivity fast becoming the way of life today, social media has emerged as a kind of standard for connecting with and staying in touch with friends, family, coaches, and more. The same applies to students–there’s so much to know even for digital natives who have grown up in an ecosystem dominated by digital and social media. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram enable you to share bits and pieces of your life, LinkedIn is more about professional connections. Twitter lets you share your thoughts and opinions and know what others have to say. Overall, social media interactions encourage two-way communication between people and even serve as popular channels to make friendships, apply for jobs, and more. At the same time, you need to be careful about security and privacy as you use these platforms. Although social media interactions appear harmless on the surface, there are chances of unintentional exposure to stalkers, hackers, and identity thieves even as you share your private life with friends and family. Obviously, it makes sense to take the right security measures for curbing your online risks. As you think about social media safety, remember that it goes much beyond only avoiding the wrong people online. You also need to be cautious about crossing personal boundaries with your friends, teachers, coaches, and professional associations. Hence, it becomes critical to understand what to share, how much to share, and with whom to share it while you network personally and professionally. Here are some basic rules that have you fully covered when it comes to social media security. Rule 1: Verify your connections Even before you think about practicing caution with the information you share, there is a need to be watchful about the people you connect with. Apart from the family, friends and acquaintances, you may also want to connect with people you don’t know for the sake of extending your network. But not every other connection may be genuine; people do put up false accounts these days. If you are not convinced about the authenticity of an account, unknown or one that claims to belong to an acquaintance, it is important to verify them. Users often set up such accounts to misrepresent themselves as someone else or make false statements on their pretext. The intention is to embarrass the real person or even create legal or personal problems for them. Further, fake accounts may be set up to send connections to malicious sites or commit online frauds. A periodic look at your connections is important so that you can detect the fake ones and get rid of them. This becomes more important if you have a long list of followers, which tends to hide such dangerous accounts. Rule 2: Privatize your social life While being careful about your connections is important, you cannot overlook the value of privatizing your social life. Thankfully, social media apps have effective privacy settings that let you change your personal profile to private. By doing so, you can make sure that only your friends or followers will be able to see your posts or interact with them. Simply speaking, you can be the gatekeeper for your accounts on the network and prevent any unauthorized access. The privacy permissions differ for different platforms but they have you reasonably covered when it comes to security. Some come with specific options that even let you share the posts selectively with your friends and followers as well. Before you start using a platform, go through these privacy settings and set them up. Also, understand how you can work on the privacy of individual posts in case you don’t want everyone in your connections to see them. Rule 3: Be judicious about what you share and consider any posting permanent Whether it is a personal or professional social media network you are using, practicing caution while sharing information is the key. These websites give you the option to share your details with the connections but you need to be judicious about what to reveal. For example, sharing your date of birth, home address or phone number is not a great idea as it can pose a physical or online security risk. Further, you need to be extremely cautious about your financial information such as credit card numbers, banking information or passwords. If these pieces of information fall in wrong hands, you may end up losing money or even compromising your bank accounts. Even small personal and financial details can make you a victim to crimes such as identity theft and stalking. Also note that anything you share, while ‘deletable’ may show up elsewhere. On the internet, few things are ever truly gone no matter how careful you are. If you don’t want your family seeing it, don’t share it on social media even using an anonymous account. Rule 4: Be especially careful with posts and pictures Needless to say, you have to be careful about your personal and financial details when it comes to social networking. But you have to be equally vigilant about posts and pictures as well, particularly if you have a big following that includes people you do not know personally. There are plenty of impersonators and people with malicious intentions out there, making it vital to understand the value of privacy. Avoid posting strong opinions and derogatory remarks against a public figure or community if you want to steer clear of trouble. If you are a selfie-lover, stick to pictures that are decent enough to share publicly. You can check out some good captions for selfies 2020 to add a storytelling appeal to the pictures. But be sure to think twice before posting anything on the social media because you wouldn’t want attention for the wrong reasons. Rule 5: Avoid over-friending on social networks Though you may want to have an impressive number of friends or followers on social media, it may not be a good thing in the long run. You may end up with a large number of fake accounts in the friend list and even have some people who befriend others with wrong intentions like hacking or stalking. There are others who cause problems by introducing spam into your timeline. As a rule, prioritize connecting with people you know or at least, the ones who are friends with your friends. Don’t just add people in your friend list to be in competition with others who have hundreds or thousands following them. Limiting your friends will enable you to share information more confidently and without apprehensions about being wronged. So you should stick to the rule of less is more for staying safe on social media! Rule 6: Avoid posting your location Another mistake that users often make is posting their location virtually as it can endanger your safety in real life. It may feel good to brag that you are on an overseas vacation or checking out the hottest new pub in town, but you end up telling unknown people that no one’s home. Similarly, scammers and predators are on a look out for easy targets at tourist check-in spots and popular venues. Moreover, the disadvantages of posting your location and live pictures go beyond the explicit risks. There are chances that your friends may put two and two together and see through excuses for not hanging out with them. Maybe, your boss and colleagues would come to know you weren’t sick on Friday when you post pictures at the resort on the weekend. Rule 7: Keep an eye on your own account While you must be vigilant about your connections and people who like or comment on your posts, there is also a need to monitor your account as well. It is easy to assess the security of your own account by simply searching it with a third-person perspective. By doing so, you will be able to see what others are seeing on your account. Obviously, you will get a clear idea about what you are sharing with the public and whether it is too much. Another benefit of checking out your own account is that you will be able to detect if there are false accounts set up in your name. This is simple because they will turn up when you search your profile by its name on social media. A periodic look at your account, therefore, serves a dual benefit. You can review the information you are sharing socially and also see if someone is running a fake account in your name. Rule 8: Block unfriendly connections While social media is a great platform to interact with people you know and build personal and professional connections, you cannot be really sure about their credibility. There are chances that you may come across unfriendly connections more than once. Fortunately, you have the option to protect yourself from harassment, stalking or unwanted contacts on social media. When you join a social network one, be sure to check the blocking option in case you need to block a member you do not want to interact with. Once you block a connection, you can rest assured that they will not be able to access your account or get in touch with you again. This is surely a good way to stay safe. Rule 9: Protect your accounts with a strong password Another social networking safety rule that you cannot afford to overlook is the protection of your accounts. Security of social network accounts is as important as that for your computer or any other online account. First things first, you need a strong password that is capable of preventing hackers from getting access to your account and posting spam or malicious content through it. There are some simple password creation rules that can give you all the protection you need. Opt for a password that has no less than eight characters and includes numbers, letters and special characters in it. Steer clear of common practices like using your name, date of birth or any other common data as a password. Also, changing it every few months keeps your account safe to a considerable extent. Rule 10: Be extra careful with your business accounts Yes, sometimes students have businesses–especially using digital media, streaming games, etc. The safety of a business social media account is even more critical than that of your personal accounts. Business accounts are meant to be public because you want to connect with present and prospective customers and stay in touch with them. But you should be wary of strange messages, odd names, and repetitive friend requests from duplicate accounts while managing business accounts. Additionally, you also need to be mindful about the people you do business with on social media. Sharing information and posts across these networks requires extra caution. There are chances that you will receive a message about a great business opportunity online, but it could be a scam as well. So verify your connections carefully and go ahead with any offers only if you are sure about their credibility. Rule 11: Follow the rules of professional networking There are some key rules that you need to follow carefully when it comes to using professional networks like LinkedIn. Keep things professional when it comes to the images, posts and personal and professional details you share on your account. Ideally, it should be a glimpse of your professional skills, achievements and goals rather than what you do personally. The same rules apply to the connections and interactions as well. Often, people end up losing their jobs because of their activities on social networking sites. Your employer will probably have some policies related to sharing official stuff on social media, which you need to follow stringent. The idea is to protect the intellectual property, confidential data and reputation of their business. So you must certainly follow the rules and guidelines of your company as you use social media. Safety on social media is as good as offline safety, which means that you should be careful on both fronts. Be aware of everything you share online, whether it is your personal or professional details or what you do in everyday life. Although the right to share bits of your life is totally yours, just be conscious about sending wrong things to the wrong crowd, particularly the people you are connected with only online. Pay attention to every single interaction because you wouldn’t want to get involved with a shady stranger, share private information with a hacker or get into trouble with your employer. Although there is no harm in enjoying your social media time, you must go the extra mile to make safety your top priority.

from Milwaukee, WI I am completely in love with these mats. I searched and researched and compared for weeks before ordering (I just bought my first new car, you understand). Through all of the OEM vs. aftermarket, WeatherTech vs. Husky debates, these mats/liners never were mentioned. I don't get it - they are exactly what I was looking for, the ideal carpet protectors. They are formed like a liner, with a perfectly reasonable amount of rise all around to keep wetness and debris from escaping onto the carpet, they don't move AT ALL, and were instantaneous to install. But the best part for me, what really makes it stand out from the crowd, is the material/texture. It's like a soft rubbery material - think anti-slip grip on tool handles, something like that. It feels great under your feet. Another thing this mat does that cinched it for me is give complete dead pedal coverage - almost impossible to find in any other product! If I was forced to give a negative, I'd mention that the 3D logo has sharp edges that can catch on your heels if you're not careful - I plan on sanding them down. Other than that - perfect. Ideal. Could not be happier! Read more 3D Maxpider Kagu Floor Liner customer reviews.

MANCHESTER UNITED vs IPSWICH TOWN Having moved up to 2nd place in the Premier League United now turned their focus to the their opening game in the League Cup hoping to erase memories of an embarrassing loss at this stage last year. Despite making six changes from the starting eleven who started at Southampton Van Gaal chose a strong side. 19-year-old Andreas Pereira made his competitive first team debut. In: Young, Valencia, Pereira, Fellaini, Herrera and Schweinsteiger. Out: Rojo, Darmian, Memphis, Martial, Carrick and Schneiderlin. - United dominated possession again and won this game at a canter; slowly wearing the visitors down they took control from the start, scored early and then added more as the visitors tired late in the game. - Pereira made an impressive debut. He perhaps took people on when he might have passed but this is evidence of his confidence. He was bright, showed initiative and did not look out of place. His goal was a bonus ; a well-executed free-kick. - United controlled this game but through Scwheinsteiger who controlled the tempo and direction of the game. A class act he is already becoming the fulcrum of the team. - It was notable that the two United goals which came from open play both came from runs behind the defence, something United haven’t been noted for of late. - An easy win maybe and United will have harder tests but job done. Looking at the selected team before the start of the game the obvious question is whether Rooney or Fellaini would play as the central striker, presumably with the other player playing as the number 10 behind. United set up in 4-2-3-1 and it was Rooney who featured as the centre forward. Debutante Pereira featured on the left with Ashley Young as the left back. Ipswich with a much changed side set up as a fairly standard 4-4-2. United in the first half with Schweinsteiger as the fulcrum United started the game as is usual now, keeping possession, moving the ball quickly with early passing, keeping the play simple and but not taking too many risks. Schweinsteiger was the focal point of this. He is so confident on the ball, his touch is so assured that he is always available to receive a pass, even in the tightest spaces. He can do this because he keeps it simple and having passed the ball immediately gets into position to receive the pass again. As is also usual in the opening stages of games now despite looking comfortable in possession they didn’t really create many chances or look like scoring. Several players were noticeably playing well. Ipswich didn’t pose a significant threat so the defence all look comfortable but Daley Blind stood out when United had the ball. In one on ones he struggles but when he has the ball he is confident and some of his passing is excellent. Mata notionally starting on the right generally came inside leaving space behind him which Valencia ran forward to exploit. On the right Andreas Pereira looked bright and confident. Ashley Young tended to stay behind him forgoing the opportunity to overlap, presumably to provide the youngster with protection. Having said that United didn’t really look like scoring they then scored. This goal came from a long straight pass from Blind as Ipswich pressed the half way line. This left Rooney one on one with his marker Malarczyk. He controlled the ball on the run, shielded the ball and strongly held off the defender before running on to calmly shot past the keeper. 23 minutes played, Boom! 1-0. The rest of the half saw more of the same with United dominating possession, but with minimal goalmouth action. As the half wore on though more gaps in the Ipswich shape began to appear as the visitors tired. At the start of the second half Ipswich pressed United high up the pitch and this seemed to take United by surprise. Perhaps because they had looked so comfortable in the first half they seemed to struggle to cope, struggling in fact to get out of their own half at times. When they beat the press however Ipswich looked vulnerable to a break. Unfortunately with Ipswich pressing United kept giving the ball away and the visitors forced a number of corners. Little came of this but it was clear United needed to wake up. Fortunately though from one such break United scored and thereafter the Ipswich challenge fizzled out. The goal came from a free kick after Mata running at the Ipswich defence from a central position was tripped. Pereira stepped up to execute a perfect free-kick beating the wall and a static keeper. 2-0 after 69 minutes, Boom! Van Gaal immediately made substitutions replacing Smalling and Mata with Jones and Martial. Jones was a straight swap but the introduction of Martial required a reshuffle. Martial moved up front with Rooney dropping back to the number 10 position. As a consequence of this Fellaini dropped into a pivot position alongside Schweinsteiger with Herrera who had been playing as a pivot ahead of the German moving to a narrow right sided attacking position. Despite all this the pattern of the game didn’t change, but as the game wore on United looked more and more likely to score as Ipswich tired. United’s changing shape personnel in the second half On 81 minutes Memphis replaced Rooney with Pereira moving centrally and Memphis taking up position on the left. As Ipswich tired they tended to be slower to react and slower to close United down. It wasn’t until injury time however that United scored again. This goal came from another piece of direct play by Martial. Spotting the opportunity he took the ball off the toes of Memphis who had been beautifully picked out by Schweinsteiger and as everyone hesitated ran on to calmly slot home past Balkowski. Boom! 3-0. Game over. This was an easy unremarkable win for United against lower division opponents. They dominated play, but for one brief spell at the start of the second half, having 70% of possession. United didn’t really get out of second gear patiently wearing Ipswich down rather than blasting them away. Ultimately and despite winning by three goals this was a shame as a more urgent, dynamic performance could have resulted in a result which could have boosted confidence whilst sending a message to rivals. Goals for Rooney, Pereira and Martial will be good for the morale of all these players, but sometimes you want more.

Overall this was a fair book. The basic plot of “why do we exist” was well thought out and an interesting spin, if you’ll excuse the pun you will come to understand if you read the book, on what makes a human. Unfortunately the book began to drag about three quarters of the way through.The endless repetition of running and dying, scary monsters and misunderstandings begin to take its toll. Then there is a new twist that doesn’t quite make sense. At this point the book begins to fall apart and it seems as if Mr. Bear is not quite sure how to end. Or rather that he wants to go on with the oddity that is this tale but was rightly told by his editor “Alright then. That’s quite enough of that.” Unfortunately, the story does not quite fill out the potential that began with its birth.

Corporate turnaround veteran Jay Alix, the founder of AlixPartners LLP, is suing that firm's biggest competitor, McKinsey & Co., alleging the advisory firm engaged in racketeering. McKinsey "knowingly and intentionally submitted false and materially misleading declarations under oath in the bankruptcy proceedings" to hide conflicts of interest, according to the complaint filed last week in Manhattan district court. The suit also alleges McKinsey operated "pay-to-play" arrangements in which McKinsey would direct bankruptcy work to attorneys that reciprocated by hiring the firm for consulting work. The suit says McKinsey has unlawfully received at least $101 million in consulting fees, financially harming AlixPartners. The suit alleges these charges amount to bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. AlixPartners is not named as one of the parties in the lawsuit. Jay Alix had sold a majority stake in the firm to private equity firm CVC Capital Partners in 2012. Then in 2016, he teamed up with a pair of Canadian pension fund managers, Caisse de dapot et placement du Quabec and Public Sector Pension Investment Board, as well as Investcorp Group, to buy out a stake held by private equity firm CVC Capital Partners to become a majority shareholder in the company he founded in 1985. AlixPartners and McKinsey have sparred for years, often competing for the same clients in big bankruptcy and turnaround cases. McKinsey denies the allegations. "We will vigorously defend ourselves against these meritless claims and expose Mr. Alix's clear pattern of anti-competitive behavior in court," the company said in a statement. While AlixPartners work has shifted away from turnarounds in recent years — they only account for roughly a quarter of the business — the Southfield-founded company built a reputation under Jay Alix for restructuring. Jay Alix led the restructuring of General Motors during the Great Recession, operations of the city of Detroit in the 1990s and assisted the Detroit Public School system in 2017. Alix was a Crain's 40 under 40 honoree in 1994.

I am really feeling sorry for myself at the moment – not positive for anyone but pulling out of this chasm is proving frightfully difficult. Jeremy is struggling with school and needs a momma who can act and be positive, not continually bury her head in the sand. I am lucky because about a year ago I started seeing a psychologist when the tricky balance between my work and home life was overwhelming me. This gentle woman has helped me balance what is happening in my life and to see past the immediate problems and to move past the behaviors of those around me. In my last session she asked me who I spoke to. It may seem an odd question to many but I have not lived with a partner since I left Jeremy’s father over five years ago. I am ok with that. But there are times when, as one of my friends put it, a conversation with someone late at night as heads lie on pillows can be just as therapeutic as a session with my psych. She’s right too, the thing that I miss about being married is that adult to adult conversation, productive or not. It was like being part of a team where troubles could be halved and triumphs doubled. In theory anyway. So her question got me to thinking, who do I talk to. Here is where I realised that I have gathered around me a group of extraordinary people, some I have never met face to face, who offer the gift of their time or experience or even a hug. I have friends who will just sit with me when I need to, or let me cry, who are generous in their affirmations about how they see me. They are all amazingly beautiful in their own ways and my life is all the richer for having their contact. In the last 48 hours the collective lifeline has helped me turn a corner too. For that I thank you. In March, on impulse, I looked at the Lost Dogs Home website and saw Zeke. This wee man reminded be of my beloved Ron dog with brown eyebrows and floppy ears. He was smaller than my Ron dog too and at 8 years old I wondered if he would be adopted. So I put in the call and the universe decided that Zeke, due to go to another home, would be my dog. When I went to meet him he sat on his bed, just looking so lost, while all the other small dogs came bounding up to the front of their enclosures. He was unsettled and anxious and the handler at the the Lost Dogs Home told me that he lost his kennel mate since his arrival and just wanted to be loved. As we left the Lost Dogs Home he would only settle if cuddled, and in the car he sat next to me with his wee face on my arm. The boys tell me that when I leave the house he sits next to the door and cries a little and is perfectly behaved but is happier when I am home. Zeke isn’t a replacement for a partner, but I relish the warmth of a little body curled up next to me on the couch, I revel in the delight of his little face in the morning when I wake up and I have discovered again that the love of a dog is a precious thing.

another table.menu.wrm complaint matthews at GREENGENES.CIT.CORNELL.EDU Wed Sep 27 15:19:45 EST 1995 > thanks for the report on: > Tablemaker can't query ("Condition") > i put that very high on my agenda merci! While you're in the TableMaker code, here's another problem I'm having trouble working around. The %1-substitution mechanism from the Tree window "Tables..." box (via wspec/table.menu.wrm) into the Condition of a column definition still isn't satisfactory. A long time ago (ace3-0 or before) I complained that it didn't work when the name of the current object contained multiple words, so you fixed it by substituting only the first word of the name. Thus I could find the desired objects using "%1*". E.g.: The only problem with this was the degeneracy, that all objects beginning with that word are found as hits, not just the current object. Now under ace4_1 there's an additional problem. The "*" is being stripped off, so no hits are found at all. I wonder if it would be possible to substitute the whole object name into the Condition, enclosed in double-quotes so multiple words are allowed. More information about the Acedb

Five million motorists fear driving in the darkThursday 22 October 2009 Five million motorists fear driving in the dark - Women drivers three times more concerned about night time driving than men - Over 50s use their experience to avoid driving in the dark - More motor claims occur in the winter months as the nights draw in As the clocks turn back this week, many motorists will find themselves driving longer hours in the dark. Research by Saga Motor Insurance reveals driving at night is a worry for a fifth of over 50s and for over five million* UK motorists overall, with a quarter (25%) of these drivers saying they fear for their safety. The research shows that a fifth (20%) of all UK motorists drive less in the winter in order to avoid driving in the dark, this rises to a third of drivers over 70 (31%). Over half of those worried about night time driving would go out less in the evening (55%) to avoid driving in the dark, this applies to almost two thirds (64%) of people aged 60-69. Furthermore, almost a fifth of British motorists (17%) would shop online rather than go out shopping in the evening. People who need to travel at night, are even prepared to pay extra to avoid driving themselves, one in five (20%) saying they would use public transport more often, and one in eight (12%) would take a taxi instead. A third (32%) of the over 70s would opt for public transport and one in four would spend out on a taxi. Andrew Goodsell, Executive Chairman, Saga Group, said: “Driving in the dark is clearly a worry for a significant number of motorists. Our research shows the over 50s use their experience to adapt their driving to reflect conditions on the road and as you would expect have fewer accidents than other age groups.” Whilst over half (56%) of the over 50s find driving in the dark more tiring, it seems the under 50s find night vision the biggest problem - 45% of under 50s say they find it difficult to see at night, compared to just 37% of over 50s. Saga claims stats show that there are more claims for accidental damage in winter than any other season** so clearly the winter is a key time for people to find out how good their insurance really is. 84%*** of Saga Motor Insurance customers rate their claims experience as good or better and this is no surprise given that we operate a 24 hours seven days a week claims service, manned by polite and helpful UK based contact centre staff, with no forms to fill in. Work carried out by our approved repairer network is guaranteed for five years. We also offer a replacement car if the insured vehicle is being repaired by us following an accident or theft. Notes to Editors * Research carried out online by Opinium surveying 2,021 adults in the UK between 22nd - 28th September 2009. According to the DVLA there were 36,726,463 drivers registered on 16/03/09. 14% say they are afraid of driving in the dark – 14% of 36,726,463 = 5,141,705 ** based on internal claims data – the frequency of claims is 8% higher than spring *** customer survey October 2008 The top 5 reasons people don’t like driving in the dark are: 1. Being blinded by other people’s lights 49% (under 50s) 69% (over 50s) 2. Driving in dark is more tiring 56% (Under 50s) 43% (Over 50s) 3. Can’t see well enough 45% (Under 50s) 37% (Over 50s) 4. Can’t judge distance so well in the dark 34% (under 50s) 32% (over 50s) 5. Worry about safety 25% (under 50s) 24% (over 50s) The top 5 tactics to avoid driving in the dark are: 1. Go out less in the evening 45% (under 50s) 61% (over 50s) 2. Try and run errands earlier before it gets dark 48% (under 50s) 54% (over 50s) 3. Use public transport more 18% (under 50s) 21% (over 50s) 4. Rely more on friends and family 19% (under 50s) 20% (over 50s) 5. Order more food/shopping online 18% (under 50s) 16% (over 50s) For more information please contact the Saga Press Office on 01303 771529 Share this page The Saga Group Communications Team only deal with enquiries from the media.

Just the other day, I started to think “What exactly is my Bucket List?” I’ve already gone to Paris, which was definitely on my list of things to do! I can’t even begin to tell you how many other things I’d like to do! So, I decided to make a post all of the things I’d like to achieve in my lifetime (aka) my Bucket List. 1. Visit the Grand Canyon and see the sunrise 2.Visit the 7 Wonders of the World 3.Being in two places at the same time 4.Open up my Cafe — 3 years from now 5.Get my degree in Business and Marketing — Almost there, one more year! 6.Take a month off and travel all of Europe 7.Master a new language 8.Live in a foreign country for a few months 9.Attend a music festival 10.Meet Chef Bobby Flay, Emma Watson and Sazan Hendrix 11.Feed a homeless person 12.Make a difference in someone’s life 13.Explore the Galapagos Islands 14.Purchase my DREAM home 17.Most importantly I’d like to achieve personal growth. Not only as a person but as a sister, daughter, friend, girlfriend, and blogger. I hope to inspire people someday to do what they love. I’ve never been so passionate about anything until I started blogging. As I continue to grow, I’ve realized how blessed I’ve been to come across some incredible opportunities. Never in a million years, did I think I would have a website, where I can talk to people about the things I love the most. Life is too short NOT to live life and make the most out of it. What’s on your bucket list? I’d love to know!

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art was the final North American venue for Roman Art from the Louvre. The sixteen-week exhibition, so large it occupied the Museum’s ground floor special exhibition gallery and the eight second floor galleries of the Museum, featured 184 works, some weighing more than 6,000 pounds. An unprecedented exhibition of ancient masterworks, drawn from the Louvre’s unparalleled collection, it provided a rare and historic opportunity for Oklahoma audiences to view these magnificent works. Organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Musée du Louvre, and selected by Daniel Roger and Cécile Giroire, curators in the Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities Department at the Louvre, the exhibition featured masterworks that highlight the diversity of artistic production that characterizes Roman art. These exceptional pieces date from the early first century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. Included were a variety of monumental sculptures, sarcophagi, marble busts and reliefs, bronze and terracotta statuettes and implements, jewelry, glass and metal cups and vessels, mosaics, fresco paintings and a cache of more than one hundred major silver pieces from Pompeii. The exhibition examined the manifestations of Roman public and private life through an exploration of several themes, including religion, urbanism, war, imperial expansion, funerary practices, intellectual life, and family. Roman Art from the Louvre showed the full range of Roman artistry and taste, juxtaposing “official” art with more modest, private works. Roman Art from the Louvre traced the genealogy of the four main Roman dynasties including the Julio-Claudians, the Antonines, the Severans, and the family of Constantine, through an examination of works made between the first century B.C. and the early fourth century A.D. These works illustrated the evolution of aesthetics, as well as the changing social influences under the Roman emperors, who exerted both secular and religious powers. The diverse artistic influences from the various far-flung regions of the empire were presented in the first section, “Introduction to Rome and Its Empire.” Among the items shown were contemporary renderings of ancient Roman cities, monuments, and landscapes—among them, the Forum of Trajan and the villa Hadriana—by J. C. Golvin, a draftsman and archaeologist noted for his stunning recreations of ancient sites. Featuring portraits of the emperors Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, and Maxentius, the large section titled “The Emperor and His Surroundings” focused on the evolution of taste, aesthetics, and society under the Roman emperors. The ways in which the political and economic powers of the emperors influenced art production across four dynasties was evident in artworks ranging from life-sized marble statues and portrait busts to small bronze figurines. The exhibition also examined the concept of civitas, or citizenship, and its ramifications, and included a section devoted to non-citizens of Rome: foreigners, freedmen, and slaves. A rich grouping of stelae, friezes, and lamps depicting these heroic figures was a component of this section as was a varied selection of ceramics and mosaics, included to illustrate production techniques and also to represent the working conditions of servants, peasants, slaves, harvesters, craftsmen, and tradesmen. The portrait busts of anonymous men, women, and children featured in “The Roman Citizen” revealed the styles and fashions popular during the Roman Empire. Clothing, hairstyles, jewelry and other accessories, perfume bottles, and cosmetics were examined within the greater context of the role of women in the Roman Empire. Other topics included the art of Roman portraiture; the Boscoreale treasure; and Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli and the Maritime Theater. “Religion and Death” was the final section of the exhibition. Encompassing official religion, private cults, and magic and the cult of mystery, religion had a complex and important role in imperial Rome. The importance to the Roman people of being remembered after death and reminded of the dead was illustrated through a selection of extraordinary monuments with inscriptions, names, and images of the dead. Among the many highlights of the exhibition were busts of prominent Roman leaders, including Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Agrippa; statues of Isis, Venus, Minerva, and Bacchus; early depictions of theatrical scenes, portraits of actors, and theatrical masks; military diplomas and army medallions; sarcophagi, urns, and related ritual objects; military diplomas and army medallions; imperial rings, necklaces and earrings; household objects; and relief sculptures depicting scenes from Tivoli. Roman Art from the Louvre was organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Musée du Louvre and was supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

The BSN degree, or Bachelor of Science in nursing, is a 4-year academic college degree providing an opportunity for students with no prior experience to obtain nursing licensure. In the case of ADN to BSN programs, the BSN gives current RNs an opportunity to expand their careers and nursing knowledge. A BSN programs differs from a 2-year ADN program in that it prepares nurses for a professional role away from the bedside with coursework in nursing science, research, leadership, and nursing informatics. BSN coursework emphasizes critical thinking, health and human functioning, care and therapeutics, person/environment fit and health care resources. Clinical experiences are offered in many locations including hospital and community settings serving diverse populations. Role development, decision-making, health status evaluation, and scholarship are highly emphasized in these programs. BSN programs are usually somewhat competitive and demand rigorous academics combined with experiential learning. Typically the first 1 to 2 years of the nursing program are spent fulfilling general education requirements, a generalist or liberal arts component to the degree that are necessary to complete for graduate education and continuing professional development. The first year also establishes the foundation for the study of nursing with an introduction to concepts and theories related to understanding nursing practice. The second year usually introduces clinical study, with the focus on health promotion and identification of risk factors in patients. Clinicals are continued throughout the next 3 years of education, with the experiences often planned to encourage synthesis of knowledge gained in preceding years and focus on individuals, families, and communities. The last two to three years are also spent on more advanced nursing education courses. Graduates from a BSN program are then eligible to take their state’s NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination), which is the registered nurse licensure exam. BSN program completion is usually preferred by most nursing leaders and provides the best opportunities, salary and opportunity wise, in today’s job market. If you look at job postings, you’ll find that a BSN degree is a requirement for many positions. It is the entry point for professional nursing practice. What are the different types of BSN programs? Nursing distinguishes itself from other majors in that there are levels of education outside of the standard associate, bachelor, master, and doctorate programs. Students can become registered nurses (RN) or licensed practicing nurses (LPN) before they even achieve an associate’s degree! Because of this, there are several bridge programs designed for students with a background in nursing already in addition to the standard BSN program. What Prerequisites are Necessary for a BSN Program? Each nursing BSN program has an individual list of prerequisites that are required for admission. More competitive programs will have a harder list of prerequisites than a less competitive program. It is therefore important to look into potential universities before applying to make sure you qualify for their prerequisites—just because you qualify for one school’s does not mean you will qualify for all. Many universities have BSN information sessions for prospective students. It’s strongly advised to attend these sessions so you can receive a basic overview of the school’s program with information regarding prerequisites and detailed admission criteria. Also, most schools admission’s offices can help you with any questions you have about their BSN program. In general, high school graduates who are interested in applying to BSN programs are advised to take biology (anatomy and physiology), chemistry, and psychology courses. If one did not take these courses in high school and they’re necessary prerequisites, many community colleges offer these classes at a less expensive rate. Students are also required to have completed the proper units of high school education, which looks something like four years of English, three years of social studies, two years of mathematics (including algebra), and two years of science with related laboratory or the equivalent. A satisfactory GPA, around 2.0 to 3.0, is needed for admittance. Additionally, schools require SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) or ACT (American College Test) scores at a certain level set by that BSN program. What are the Objectives in Completing a BSN Program? Universities often outline the objectives of completing a BSN program. As a graduate of a BSN program you will be able to: - Synthesize theoretical, empirical, and experiential knowledge gained from the liberal arts, human, natural and social sciences, and nursing to develop holistic plans of care for individuals, families, and communities throughout the lifespan. - Demonstrate skills in critical thinking, decision-making, and effective communication in the use of delivering holistic care with individuals, families, groups, and communities experiencing complex health problems. - Intervene therapeutically to promote, restore, and maintain the maximum health potential of individuals, families, groups, and communities. - Coordinate with the interdisciplinary team to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate safe effective care. - Provide health education for individuals, families, groups, and communities. - Incorporate teaching/learning principles in promoting health for diverse individuals, families, and populations. - Plan, implement, and evaluate nursing research findings to guide nursing practice. - Apply leadership and management principles as a novice professional nurse in the effective delivery of nursing care. - Evaluate the impact of trends and issues affecting health and access to health care. - Assume responsibility and accountability for own decisions and actions in the practice of nursing. - Incorporate professional standards and values, including ethical and legal aspects, into the nursing practice. - Communicate effectively in interactions with individuals, families, groups, and communities. - Integrate technology in planning, delivery, and evaluation of nursing care. - Demonstrate evolving competence in multicultural interactions and advocate for persons, groups, and communities based on awareness of ethical and legal issues affecting health care. What Career Options Exist for BSN Program Graduates? As a BSN graduate you can work in many medical settings. A BSN program prepares you for many entry-level positions, and most health care employers prefer if you have a BSN. Additionally, after passing the NCLEX-RN you’re qualified to work in any state and anywhere in the world. You can choose a certain age group you wish to work with. You can also focus your career on specific ailments, such as cancer, stroke or trauma. There are traditional health-care facilities such as clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals. There are also businesses you can start a career in such as book publishers, pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and law firms. Also, schools, psychiatric units, and home-care agencies are locations to practice your nursing in. Typical career options for a Nursing school graduate with a BSN include: - Health departments - Nursing homes - Public schools - Research labs - Rehabilitation centers Additionally, a BSN prepares nursing students for graduate studies, so you could go on to receive your master’s or doctorate in nursing through many different programs. Opportunities with a master include, but are not limited to, becoming a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, or nurse midwife. It is crucial though to know what you want to study before you enter a master’s program. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that job opportunities are expected to be excellent for graduates with a BSN degree. Jobs may vary by geographical location and employer, so if you want a higher salary you may need to move to a specific city. Employment is expected to grow faster than average for all occupations through 2016. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that because this occupation is so large, many new jobs will be created. Resources for More Information About BSN Programs: - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)has information that can help you in your research about BSN programs. They can assist you in searching for jobs, news, grants and funding, current policies, and other helpful information. - The HRSA, or Health Resources and Services Administration, is a branch of the HHS. You can find links to grants, loans, and scholarships through the HRSA website. Also you can find data and statistics, as well as public health information here. - GovLoans.com provides important information on the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program. This program is to assist in the recruitment and retention of professional nurses wanting to provide health care to underserved populations. The program provides nurses with substantial assistance to repay educational loans in exchange for service in eligible facilities, which are usually areas very short on nurses. There are different levels of qualification for the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program: For two years of service they will pay 60% of total qualifying loan balance; For three years of service they will pay 85% of total qualifying loan balance. If a person working two years decides to continue their contract into a third year, the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program will pay an additional 25% of the qualifying loan balance. Check out the website for more detailed information. - The United States department of Labor has “The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook,” which can provide you a detailed breakdown of what the nursing profession is all about, along with some salary statistics.

This Huge Cigarette Lighter Can Easily Burn Down a Small Tree BrainFooTv host has created this giant cigarette lighter for some super-sized and super dangerous fun. Don't try this how-to video at home! Making already cool stuff much much bigger never gets old. In this case, the energetic inventor behind the YouTube channel BrainFooTV has supersized a cigarette lighter to epic proportions. The base of the lighter is a standard which gets souped up with a series of modifications until it can throw a flame almost 8-foot tall. This is definitely not a how-to video! BrainFooTV hosts make it clear, several times, that this is a potentially very dangerous project and should not be attempted at home without some heavy base knowledge and serious safety precautions. Learning how to make this technical project work is fun, but more entertaining is finding out what it can do. BrainFooTV demonstrates the massive lighter in several entertaining ways igniting a series of balloon strings. In a follow-up video, he takes the testing to a whole new level using the giant lighter to light a cigarette and birthday candles with ridiculous results. He then uses the potential weapon to do a spot of gardening by setting a small tree on fire. We can’t emphasize enough just how dangerous this crazy invention is - so please do not try this at home. If you are looking for a project to try at home, BrainFooTV has a series of more achievable How-Tos including a very loud and cheap horn and some very cool tiny bow and arrows. BrainFoo describes his channel as ‘Random science projects and DIY builds that are easy to follow and great fun too.’ We can’t agree more.

Then you need to put it in a warm oven for about 30 minutes. After that, you need to let it cool down completely. Once it is cooled down, you need to open it up and remove the foam. Now you can store it in a safe place. What is replacing the Yeti SideKick? Yes, but not recommended. Ice will melt faster in a cooler than it does in a freezer. This could lead to the contents of the cooler becoming warm enough to spoil. It is better to freeze the ice in a freezer overnight. How do you clean a Yeti SideKick? Yes, but only if you are careful not to crush the ice cubes. Ice packs are great for keeping drinks cold, but if you place them directly into a soft cooler, the ice could crack. If you are worried about cracking the ice pack, try putting it in a Ziploc bag and placing it in the freezer until frozen solid. This way, the ice won’t break. Why did Yeti stop making the SideKick? Yeti stopped making the Sidekick because of the lack of demand for such products. It was not selling well enough to justify continued production. Can you put loose ice in a soft cooler? To clean the Yeti sidekick, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use soap or detergent. To clean the interior, remove the bottom plate and wash the unit thoroughly using warm water and mild dishwashing liquid. Be sure to dry the unit completely after cleaning.

This article is from the Gasoline FAQ, by Bruce Hamilton with numerous contributions by others. Engine management systems are now an important part of the strategy to reduce automotive pollution. The good news for the consumer is their ability to maintain the efficiency of gasoline combustion, thus improving fuel economy. The bad news is their tendency to hinder tuning for power. A very basic modern engine system could monitor and control:- mass air flow, fuel flow, ignition timing, exhaust oxygen ( lambda oxygen sensor ), knock ( vibration sensor ), EGR, exhaust gas temperature, coolant temperature, and intake air temperature. The knock sensor can be either a nonresonant type installed in the engine block and capable of measuring a wide range of knock vibrations ( 5-15 kHz ) with minimal change in frequency, or a resonant type that has excellent signal-to-noise ratio between 1000 and 5000 rpm . A modern engine management system can compensate for altitude, ambient air temperature, and fuel octane. The management system will also control cold start settings, and other operational parameters. There is a new requirement that the engine management system also contain an on-board diagnostic function that warns of malfunctions such as engine misfire, exhaust catalyst failure, and evaporative emissions failure. The use of fuels with alcohols such as methanol can confuse the engine management system as they generate more hydrogen which can fool the oxygen sensor . The use of fuel of too low octane can actually result in both a loss of fuel economy and power, as the management system may have to move the engine settings to a less efficient part of the performance map. The system retards the ignition timing until only trace knock is detected, as engine damage from knock is of more consequence than power and fuel economy.

Motivated by healthy habits, digital convenience and the pandemic, people are going one step further than ordering in the odd meal, opting instead for subscriptions to a full week of food delivery services. It’s a model proving to be a magic recipe for customers and businesses alike. In Cambodia, this has resulted in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cooking up their own meal-plan unique selling points, offering everything from skinny subscription options for weight watchers to protein packed meaty menus for muscle builders. The cooked meals are delivered both morning and at night. Globally, a report by analyst site UnivDatos Market Insights (UMI) said the subscription e-commerce market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 68 percent between 2019 to 2025, reaching $478.2 billion by 2025. It said over the last few years in particular, the subscription e-commerce market has grown enormously, registering a growth of nearly 100 percent in some regions. “Today, consumers are demanding products and services that are customised, seamless and flexible. A subscription e-commerce model allows the subscription services to meet different customer criteria. According to the estimates, 75 percent of direct-to-customer businesses will offer subscription services by 2023,” it added. As the Kingdom continues to embrace digital, meal plan delivery businesses are one such service spurring the subscription market. “When we opened two years ago, we chose this format because we saw the trend in other countries that we couldn’t find here,” said food delivery service Nom Nom, which cooks and delivers a customisable vegetarian and meat menues weekly for subscribers. “In Cambodia, fast food and junk food is so easy to get and it’s very affordable, so we saw a gap in the market to offer healthy and convenient food for people who have a busy and active lifestyle. It’s convenient for them and for us,” said Marnix Gerits, co-founder of Nom Nom. “The great thing is we don’t have the overheads of a restaurant and the business is very scalable. The corporate market and fitness markets are growing and we are able to grow with them. Not having to build a brick and mortar establishment means we can offer cheap, healthy meals to our customers.” E-commerce company Shopify said subscription-based business models enable companies to save money on customer targeting and acquisition, passing cost savings in distribution, marketing and personalisation on to their customers. “This provides value to the customer and incredible growth opportunities for businesses,” it noted. Sokim Heng, co-owner of meal-delivery company Bite Lab, also currently offers healthy meal delivery plans. However, he is looking to expand the service as part of a broader fitness brand. “We aim to provide more than just a meal subscription. We consult on clients’ eating habits and advise a food plan, design it around their nutritional needs and set goals. Our vision is to create a fitness community lifestyle. We keep in touch with our clients and track progress together,” he said. “We are currently in our initial phase of building our healthy eating and goal-orientated community. Phase two will involve introducing a mobile app to improve our fitness-related content and reach a wider audience. In phase three we will look at providing branded sportswear for our fitness community, to create a sense of identity and, in the final phase, we would love to carry out events in different locations through the year to further strengthen our community,” he added. - Tags: food

MARTINEZ -- As Danéil Greaves' 8-year-old son received his second-grade graduation diploma, she got the call. A chill went up the Walnut Creek mother's spine as she listened to the caller, while the ceremony, another bittersweet family milestone missed by her husband, killed while cycling two years earlier, continued in a muted haze. The woman charged with fatally injuring her husband with her car jumped bail on a one-way ticket to China. A panicked Greaves had a friend watch her two children, jumped into her car and drove directly to the Danville house of defendant Hong Guo. It was the start of Greaves' ongoing efforts to track down the woman who sent her life spinning -- and she vowed to find her, even if that meant hiring a fugitive hunter. No one was home that afternoon, but Greaves could see Guo's young daughters' backpacks on a kitchen table. She sat outside for a half-hour before leaving Guo's ex-husband a note encouraging him to help bring Guo back. "It was a surreal moment with a rush of emotions," said Greaves, a John Muir Medical Center ER nurse. "Now I'm just really pissed." Prosecutors say Guo, 43, flew to Beijing in May, six weeks before her long-awaited preliminary hearing on felony vehicular manslaughter charges in the June 26, 2009, death of John Greaves, a 44-year-old Morgan Stanley Smith Barney branch manager and avid cyclist. Attorneys dispute what happened on Camino Tassajara near the Alameda County line that day, with the DA's office saying that Guo drove with gross negligence and the defense saying John Greaves is to blame and Guo should not have been charged with a crime. Guo, a Chinese national and legal U.S. resident, was required by a judge to surrender her passport before she posted a $50,000 bail bond; prosecutors now see that passport was long expired, leading them to speculate she used a newer passport to leave the country. Deputy district attorney Simon OConnell said he's been working with federal authorities to locate her. "I suspect she intentionally turned in an old passport," OConnell said. "This leads me to believe she had no intention of availing herself to the judicial process. "This is a non-drug, non-DUI, non-road rage vehicular manslaughter. She had no criminal record, and she didn't flee the scene. For all intents and purposes, she was going to get probation," OConnell said. "She's made this a lot more difficult on herself." OConnell is now in the process of filing a new felony charge: willful failure to appear, punishable by up to three years in prison. Last month, he had a no-bail warrant issued for her arrest. Redondo Beach defense attorney Evan Freed said Guo contacted him in June, a month after she left the country, and said she had to go to China to care for her ailing parents. He said he is in constant email contact with Guo and, now that her parents are better, she wants to come back but cannot get a visa because of her pending felony charge. She is devastated over the accident, and now she's struggling with not being able to see her children, Freed said. "Had she asked before, I would have told her not to go," Freed said. "I can't tell you whether or not she's ever going to come back. My guess is she's never coming back." Danéil Greaves said she's long been frustrated by defense motions and continuances in the case, and she is disgusted that Guo says the accident was her husband's fault. A wrongful-death lawsuit she filed against Guo on behalf of Greaves' children has an October trial date. She will find Guo herself if the government's efforts turn fruitless, she said. "I'm ready to hire a bounty hunter to go get her," Greaves said. "I'll have brownie sales, cookie sales to raise money if I have to." Contact Malaika Fraley at 925-234-1684.

Thank you, dear readers, for visiting my blog and telling others about it! Today we will be chatting with Mermaid Odette of Arizona, USA. If you thought there wouldn't be any mermaids in the Arizona desert, you would be mistaken! Join me in welcoming Odette to the blog! Cynthia: Hello, Odette, tell us all about yourself. Odette: I work as Mermaid Odette in Tucson, Arizona. I mostly work in Arizona, California, and Hawaii, but will travel anywhere in the United States for gigs. I make all my tails, accessories, and props in a workshop downtown. I have been mermaiding since 2009. My abilities that make me a professional are my swimming and performance abilities. I've performed since I was 12, and have been a swimmer since age six. I enjoy entertaining and putting a smile on the dimmest face. Cynthia: How did you first get into mermaiding? Odette: I've been working for a historical fantasy theme park called Valley of the Moon since I was 13, and we have every type of creature except mermaids. I love swimming so I thought of bringing the two together. I worked hard trying to make tails with no knowledge on anything but costuming and sewing. I figured out fins and then the monofin thing then got inspiration from online info. I wasn't completely happy with how tails were made, and started making tails in different ways that included adding scales one-by-one and using materials that seemed inappropriate for a tail which got me the golden emerald tail. |Mermaid Odette - photo by Joelle Higdon| Cynthia: Tell us about your Mermaid 101 Panel. Odette: The "Mermaid 101" panel is something I started a few years ago to give people a chance to learn about being a mermaid. The panel talks about how to make a fabric tail, who you can buy from, swimming and breathing techniques as well as a lot of immediate, straight-forward, scientific, and personal info that you can't get online. I give answers to even the professional things and tell them where they need to go to get started. It has been presented at many conventions, but has been done at Connichiwa for 3 years now, and I'm making it more amazing every time. The panel has gotten so many good reviews that I decided to expand availability to Chicago and Southern Florida once I get a chance to catch up in Arizona. Cynthia: What kind of performances do you do? Odette: I perform a lot of swimming gigs and private parties. I get a public event almost every month now. I've performed for many different types of events and I love it! Public and swimming events are my favorite! I have done art galleries, parades, a concert, conventions, festivals, parks, birthday parties, movie presentations, Hawaii tour where I dived for snorkelers, and a unique birthday party at Hotel Congress as a vampire mermaid swimming with snakes. |Mermaid Odette by Joelle Higdon| Cynthia: What other activities do you participate in? Odette: I promote water conservation every year through the Tucson Water Festival, presented by the Tucson Arts Brigade. I work on bringing a lot of issues that a desert mermaid would face, and how important water is. Most of the articles I'm mentioned in are because of the Water Festival and the amazingly fun and educational atmosphere. Cynthia: You have been transforming a pool into a kelp forest for photo ops? Odette: I haven't finished it yet, but I thought of a fun way to make a kelp forest with some tough plastics. Since its simple and abundant, I will be able to make a lot of kelp strands for wonderful photo opportunities. Cynthia: Have you been to any mermaid gatherings? Odette: I haven't been to any but I have a few followers who will join me for a pool swim at public events. I love meeting other mermaids or aspiring ones! Cynthia: Do you have any special stories for us from your mermaid adventures? Odette: I had a magical encounter with a whale. I had no idea they would swim that close to shore. I was appearing at a beach for a party in Maui. I went far out to enjoy the waves before they came when I see this huge fluke come out of the water. I looked down and saw the form of the whale and watched her, mimicking her movements, dancing with the whale. I still regret not having a camera at that moment. It was so magical feeling close to what I love. Cynthia: Tell us about the Water Show. Odette: I have a new type of performance I hope to get started by 2015. Its called the "Mermaid Odette Water Spectacular". It is made to be viewed by poolside with difficult stunts most tails cannot handle. Some moves are modified from vertical to horizontal so people can almost experience the same feel that an aquarium mermaid show has to offer and more. There are special effects other than tails involved that will cost around $30,000 to complete the way I want it done. Its a crazy idea but I always like to dream big. I have already started putting the pieces together, and I'm very optimistic about it. Cynthia: You make all your own mermaid tails? Odette: Yes. All hand scaled. I enjoy making tails in new ways. I have also been working on a new tail design for over a year now. I've been doing research on the scales and intact epithelium of fish to try to make the most realistic tail ever made. I've had the opportunity to study fish through physicals (as I study veterinary science). Everyone seems to like cycloid scales the most, so I'm dealing with many of those fish right now. I want the kids to truly believe, and I want to be able to teach them cool facts about fish that way. Its looking good so far, but still doesn't feel like a fish yet. I may be selling tails in the future. Cynthia: What else you would like to share with us? Odette: I will be opening an Etsy account to sell props and accessories called aluremermaidstore this summer. Cynthia: Thank you for chatting with us, Odette! Best of luck with the Water Show! Readers, if you would like more information on Mermaid Odette, swim on over to her web site and Facebook page. Best wishes and starfishes, cynthia (at) goldmermaid.com

I visited London for a few days for the experimental game design festival “Now Play This“. Personally, the closer surroundings of London appealed to me much more than the core city. Photographically it is definitely worth a visit. The next time I visit England I will have a look at the wider surroundings and the more rural regions. Places where the pictures were taken: 20 Fenchurch Street, Lloyds Bank, King’s Cross/St Pancras Tunnel, Leadenhall Market, Petersham Nurseries Teahouse, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, King’s Cross, The Shard, Adams Pl. Bridge, Natural History Museum, Somerset House, Horniman Museum, Tate Gallery of Modern Art

The article discusses Silesian sources transmitting the works of Jacob Handl (Gallus) (1550-91), which have not so far been given adequate consideration in the literature of the subject. The composer travelled between the various music centres in Silesia after 1575 and had temporary links with them, as numerous manuscripts of Silesian provenance testify. The fact that many of them were written even before his works published in Prague by Georg Nigrinus suggests that a sizeable part of his heritage (about 70 sources) might have been created in Silesia. Jacob Handl's works preserved in manuscripts of Silesian provenance total 220 sources transmitting 106 of his compositions. Manuscripts from Wroclaw offer the richest documentation, in particular the 30 items from Emil Bohn's collections. A less representative sample of his output comes from the dispersed collection of the old Rudolfina of Legnica; here, five manuscripts deserve particular attention. A dozen or so manuscripts show traces of originating from the old library of the Gymnasium Illustre of Brzesc and the St Peter and Paul Church in Nysa (now held at Warsaw University Library). The repertory of Jacob Handl's compositions represented in these manuscripts is very varied: the majority of them are motets, Masses and German Lieder. Apart from works familiar from printed versions, local documentation contains about 20 unpublished compositions and unica: eleven motets, six contrafacta (among them four in German: three of them constitute a setting of deutsche Messe, probably by Paul Hallman), two Latin Masses and little-known compositions in German: two religious songs and two secular ones (a detailed list of the full Silesian record of Handl's compositions is given in the Appendix to the article). These works illustrate clearly, if not unambiguously, the composer's connections with the local musical tradition of Silesia of his day, revealing an aspect of his musical heritage which had gone unremarked before. Other evidence of the fact that Jacob Handl's works were known in the musical centres of Silesia is provided by extant prints containing his compositions. Also, library collections of Silesian provenance held the majority of his authorial editions which are known to us today. Moreover, the works of Gallus were popularised in Silesia through printed anthologies: these works appear in frequently used collections (e.g. Florilegium selectissimarum cantionum of Erhard Bodenschatz), and also in popular liturgical agendas, both catholic (Agenda of Hieronim Powodowski) and protestant (e.g., Liber ceremoniarum from St Mary Magdalen church in Wroclaw (now in Archiwum Panstwowe, Wroclaw), associated with the tradition of Good Friday celebrations.

When President Bill Clinton, Hillary and Chelsea first saw the Great Wall of China, all he could say was ‘Amazing, amazing’. Maybe for him it was one more check off his bucket list. It’s definitely one more check off my bucket list! Driving from Beijing to the Great Wall was full of anticipation for me. My mind was racing. My heart was fluttering. My soul and spirit were in high gear. I mean here I am a girl raised in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia where I climbed the hills almost daily as a kid. And, here I was halfway around the globe getting ready to climb the wall built in the mountains bordering Inner Mongolia and the North China Plain and beyond. Built to keep out invaders, work started in the 5th century B.C., and it took many more centuries to complete the wall keeping out warring kingdoms and attacks by others. The 5500 miles of the wall means that you could basically drive from the East to the West coast in the U.S. and back! Considering all this construction was done before advanced technology is like wondering how the pyramids of Egypt were built. You wonder how in Sam Hill was it accomplished! I had no idea what I would see, well, other than what I’d seen in photos. The day started out smoggy with light drizzle and no sight of the sun or blue skies. However, as we drove further from Beijing, it was as if the gods were shifting the skies. And, they were! Nancy, our spunky and knowledgeable Chinese guide, shared with us that we were not only going to climb the Great Wall, but we would experience a ‘natural oxygen bar’ as in fresh clean air. Believe it or not, clean air is a premium in China. In fact, as we drove from Beijing, Nancy pointed out new governmental high-rise apartments (as in 40+ floors) construction that was more expensive than in the city. Why? Because of less smog, pollution and cleaner air. Families who can afford it are ready to pay a premium to live somewhere with cleaner air. Our destination was to the less well-known Mutianyu section of the wall. The same section of the wall that the Clintons walked on their visit. Yes, we traced their footsteps and thousands and thousands of others’ footsteps including nearly two million who died over the centuries of building this wall. Truly a wonder of the world, Nancy told us that the Great Wall is also known as the world’s ‘largest cemetery’. The 3.4 mile Mutianyu section, about 30 miles northeast of Beijing, was constructed during the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and renovations started in 1983. This section opened to the public in 1988. Once we were there, we were welcomed by a vibrant booming commercial section, brand spankin’ new, of stores, restaurants and vendors selling memorabilia and ‘stuff’. Nothing different that being at Disney World only smaller. Hiking the about quarter of a mile to the gondola, we were going to ascend and begin our climb on the wall. Some brave souls actually hike up the mountain to the Great Wall, but we didn’t have time to include that in our visit. Once we were at the top, we knew we were ‘at the top’! Spanning miles, the wall snakes like a dragon over the rugged and massive terrain. Watch towers dotted the wall as we climbed to higher summits. These 23 towers were where the guards lived, and it was obvious that life under their watch was brutal and harsh, especially in the dead of winter. Each tower had a fire place for keeping ‘warm’ during winter months, but I imagine that was only an illusion when snow and blizzards were happening. Watchtowers served most importantly as warning signals for invaders. Most had steps leading up to an open rooftop. If there was suspected intrusion, lookout guards stationed on the towers would light a signal fire to warn other towers. Lots and lots of steps! Steep narrow steps made of slabs of granite, and now slick as a baby’s butt from thousands of years of use, were not for the faint of heart. No strollers could make this walk on the wall! I saw many a grown person fearful and saying they could not go a step further because of the heights and how scared they were. No language barriers here because their body language spoke volumes. Our nearly five hours on the wall was capped by the final summit, which I didn’t ascend. Yes, the nearly forty narrow steps, slick, creepy and straight up at nearly a 45 degree incline, took you to the final observation point. Yes, you got the feeling that you had accomplished a feat and were now ‘king or queen’ of the wall. Believe me, I was happy to sit at the base of those steps and video my comrades as they descended. From there, we walked nearly two miles that snaked back and forth, up and down, steps and flat surfaces to the ‘tobaggons’. Yes, we were going down the chute, nearly a mile ride, on individual ‘sleds’ where we could control the speeds with the lever situated between your legs. This sturdy metal tubular curving ‘road’ was where our tobaggons zig zagged through the mountain down to our starting point. It was pure exhilaration and the reward for a job well done! And, apparently we were in good company because Peyton Manning sure enjoyed his ride down, too!

Electricity from waste? This may sound impossible to get but is not. Even if the title sounds impossible, wastes are used to generate, electricity, heat and organic fertiliser from wastes. This technology has been used for many years with success in Europe and underdeveloped countries around the world. Nepal is looking at waste-to-energy technologies to address its huge energy deficit and also manage growing urban and industrial waste. Half of Nepal’s households are off the national grid while supply shortfalls and interrupted power cause industries losses worth 60 billion Nepali rupees (US$ 700 million) annually. Last month (26 April), the ‘Waste-to-Energy Bazaar 2013’ initiative launched by the government’s Alternative Energy Promotion Centre and the World Bank awarded three proposals for biologically or thermally converting biomass into gas that can fuel generators. Biomass sources identified by the proposals include human faeces, cattle manure, chicken litter, agricultural waste and organic municipal solid waste (MSW). This article explains how this biomass sources are transformed into bio-gas AEPC assistant director Samir Thapa explained that the initiative adds an urban dimension to the earlier focus on rural renewable energy projects that have resulted in over 250,000 small biogas plants coming up across rural Nepal. “This is not just exciting; it is the way to go in a country withoutfossil fuels,” Anil Chitrakar, social entrepreneur and co-founder of the Himalayan Climate Initiative, told SciDev.Net. One project estimated a generation potential of five megawatts of electricity from the 300 tonnes of MSW produced every day in Kathmandu alone. Almost 1,630 tonnes of MSW are generated across Nepal daily. The first prize went to a proposal to generate 1.25 megawatt-hours of electricity and 1,000 tonnes of fertiliser from waste produced by 200,000 birds in three poultry farms, using technology proven in Bangladesh. “We are trying to bring in new technologies from neighbouring countries that will be suited to our localised context,” added Thapa, who hopes to have projects running within three years. India already has an installed WtE capacity of 211 megawatts from 22 projects, earning carbon credits through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol. China has 100 CDM projects. Let’s look at this video made in 2009 to understand how this work. This is actually a project from 2006. Now, the end of 2013 a new device using the same technology is available in a much smaller scale and the the good news this is scale-able, and can be used in the city as well. I know people are hard to convince to embrace something new, but this is no scam or fake. It is a proven way to heat and power your house using WASTES. To learn more about this device, visit the official Liberty Generator site. 3 Replies to “Generate electricity from waste” Of course they don’t! They gain when you are connected to the grid, they gain for disposing your wastes, why would they encourage people to use this methods? I read about using garbage for power years ago. Electric companies do not want us to find more sustainable power sources. It’s big business, just like Big Pharma doesn’t want us to find healthier ways to heal. Money, money, money. When I read about it, there were small communities in the US that were using garbage to produce power. It is not found in your local media though.

Understanding Your Options at Retirement If you’re confused about retirement income alternatives, you’re not alone. How do you know what to choose? How do you know which product is right for you? Well, it all depends on the type of savings you have...read on. One of the most important factors in determining what products are available is whether the money was accumulated in a pension plan or a savings plan. In this post, we will focus on the options available to pension plan investors at retirement. These options would apply to you if you currently belong to, or have ever belonged to, an employer sponsored pension plan. The products that are available to you also depend on which province you reside in, as pension legislation differs in each provincial jurisdiction. The following provides an outline of some of the key features of each product and where they are available. LIF - A Life Income Fund (LIF) is a type of RRIF (Registered Retirement Income Fund) under which the owner of the LIF must withdraw, each year, a minimum amount up to a maximum amount prescribed by the pension legislation. The LIF is available in all jurisdictions (except PEI). LIRA - A Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA) is a type of RRSP where the funds are subject to pension legislation. These funds must be used to purchase a life annuity or be transferred to a LIF or an LRIF by the end of the year during which the owner of the LIRA reaches age 71, at the latest. The LIRA is available in all jurisdictions, with the exception of British Columbia, Nova Scotia and federally regulated pension plans. These three jurisdictions provide for the locked-in RRSP, which is very similar to the LIRA. Locked-in RRSP - A locked-in Registered Retirement Savings Plan is a type of RRSP where the funds are subject to pension legislation. These funds must be used to purchase a life annuity or be transferred to a LIF by the end of the year during which the owner of the locked-in RRSP reaches age 71, at the latest. The locked-in RRSP is available in British Columbia, Nova Scotia and to federally regulated plans. Life Annuity - You can also purchase a life annuity with your locked-in savings. This retirement income alternative offers a guaranteed income during your lifetime and your spouse’s lifetime, provided the annuity has been set up on a joint and last survivor basis. Do you have a better idea of which product is right for you? Stay tuned for 'Your Options at Retirement - Part II', where we will look at the options available for assets accumulated in a savings plan.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa is open to proposals from the private sector for a refinery in B.C., as a public inquiry into the province’s soaring gas prices reviews possible solutions. The prime minister says he knows B.C. residents are struggling and the federal government is open to ideas that would make life more affordable for Canadians. “We’re always open to seeing what the private sector proposes, what business cases are out there. We believe in getting things done the right way and we’re going to work with people to find solutions to make sure that people can afford their weekly bills,” Trudeau said. He made the comments in Victoria Thursday following a joint announcement with Premier John Horgan of $79 million to support 118 new transit buses across the province. The funding will also allow for 10 long-range electric buses that would provide greener transportation options in Greater Victoria. Horgan called the gas price inquiry in May when prices at the pump reached $1.70 on the Lower Mainland, saying the public deserved answers about why prices are so much more expensive and variable than in other jurisdictions. Horgan said Thursday that while the province wants a transition away from fossil fuel dependence, that transition should be aided by more refined product to give B.C. drivers relief. The province believes that, like raw logs, there’s an economic opportunity lost when oil and gas goes to market before value is added, even as the province moves toward cleaner energies, he said. Oral hearings are ongoing in the public inquiry into gas prices and the three-member panel chaired by the David Morton, CEO of the B.C. Utilities Commission, is set to release a final report and recommendations Aug. 30. Henry Kahwaty, an economist hired by Parkland Fuels, which owns and operates one of the province’s only refineries in Burnaby, told the panel on Wednesday that there have been several business cases circulating for additional refineries in the province. But Kahwaty said the business cases put forward aren’t based on meeting local demand, even if some of the product would undoubtedly end up in B.C. “It’s serving Asian markets,” Kahwaty said. Dozens of protesters rallied outside a Liberal fundraiser Thursday night, carrying signs saying “declare a climate health emergency,” and “get oil out of our soil.” Some held up giant, inflatable orcas mounted on sticks, a reference to the endangered species threatened by the increased tanker traffic that would come with the pipeline’s expansion. They called for a stronger federal climate action plan and criticized Trudeau for his government’s approval and purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Trudeau told reporters that selling Canadian oil to American markets at a discount won’t help the environment but redirecting some of the profits from the expansion will. During the fundraiser’s ”armchair discussion,” Trudeau said we’re in a time where populism and social media are amplifying voices on the peripheries and the Liberal party is committed to the “hard work,” of finding what can be complicated solutions. “Nobody has a sign that says ‘Make a decent compromise,’ ‘Find a reasonable way forward,’ ‘Get that right balance.’ “ Although, he said he was flattered to hear the same orcas were at Elizabeth May’s wedding in April.

Just check out A TWIST OF THE KNIFE, his short story collection published by Macmillan in 2014. In an age when short tales tend to be seen as non-viable by mainstream publishers, especially on the printed page (in ebook terms it's increasingly a different story, of course), the fact that Peter James's collection came out both in hardback and softback, and now adorns the top shelves in all the best high street bookstores is a very good sign for the great man. It indicates that he long ago passed into that highest echelon of literary endeavour, wherein format, labelling, pigeon-holing etc doesn't matter one jot. The quality of the work is all. And quality is the bottom line here. Regular followers of this blog will know that I'm not in the habit of reviewing books. Whenever I come across a piece of work that really does it for me, I tend to either tweet my approval or slam a few sentences onto Facebook. But I'm going to make a big exception for A TWIST OF THE KNIFE, because not only does it comprise 30 (yes, you read that correctly - 30!) amazingly tense, mysterious and sublimely well-written short stories, it also blends my two real literary loves - crime and horror. Fans of Peter James will know that he's long had a foot in both camps, though his worldwide fame undoubtedly stems from the soaring success he's had with the Roy Grace novels. These are hard-edged but massively readable crime thrillers following the investigations of a Brighton-based detective superintendent as he pursues badmen of every ilk. But A TWIST OF THE KNIFE is somewhat different. Yes, it contains several wickedly-plotted murder-mysteries - Roy Grace himself pops up in one story - but overall there is a slightly different feel to this book. To call it 'otherworldly' would not be completely accurate. There is nothing overtly weird or fantastical about these tales; all are firmly grounded in the contemporary here and now - and yet you never feel as if the supernatural is very far away. Take Dream Holiday, for example. An urbane couple - there is surely no-one else working in thrillers today who writes the sophisticated middle-class better than Peter James! - are planning a luxurious holiday in Switzerland, though wife Annie, instead of looking forward to it, is increasingly bewildered and frightened by a recurring dream that seems to promise disaster. Well ... you won't need me to tell you that disaster does duly come, but in the very last way the reader expects. Trust me, this tome is well named, because horrendous twists in the tale are fully the order of play, as perfectly exemplified in this contribution. Even those tales without an outré edge skate along the boundaries of purest nightmare. Sun Over The Yard Arm, a satsifyingly lengthy piece, which tells the story of a husband and wife team's ill-fated yachting trip across the Indian Ocean, is spook-free but would not be out of place in one of those big, chunky anthologies of the world's greatest horror stories. I won't say anything else for fear of providing spoilers, but it's a spellbinding and ghoulish read. At the same time, two other chillers, Venice Aphrodisiac and A Christmas Tradition are what you might once have called twisted tales (no pun intended, I'm sure): short but erotically charged chillers, again with deceptively simple but, when you think about it, astonishingly transgressive concepts at their heart. All in all, this a supreme collection of dark tales. Scary, mysterious, suspense-filled, and yes, at times rather sexy. If you read crime, it's a must for your collection. If you read horror, it's exactly the same. A TWIST OF THE KNIFE gets my strongest recommendation.

Excited children and teachers came out of their classes to meet near the flag pole at the front of Hawthorne Elementary School last week as some of the local Lions Club members joined in for a special presentation “As you kids know, our American flag was pretty worn out and fairly small for our tall flag pole. When the Hawthorne Lions Club asked what they could do for us, I asked nicely if we could get a new, larger flag and that’s what they did for us,” Principal Stephanie Keuhey shared loudly to all that had gathered outside for the morning presentation. In exuberance, the smaller students would utter “awes”, as the old flag was surrendered and properly folded by Lions member Ben Miller and district transportation director, Will Gemelke. The new, large cloth flag was then gently taken from The Flag Store box, unfolded and held up for viewing. Many “wows” and clapping came from the younger kids as Keuhey went on to explain that the new flag was so nice and it would last a lot longer. Miller was seen adjusting the pole hoping to accommodate the larger flag size as Keuhey explained, “this flag is so big, Mr. Miller has to make modifications before the new flag can even go up the pole.” One first grader turned to her teacher and stated, “oh no, not a modification” in a disgusted tone, just as staff members and teachers her giggled quietly around her. Once the flag was properly raised, everyone was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Keuhey. The Hawthorne Lions Club also included the Nevada Flag, as part of a complete gifting, which Keuhey showed to her students. Many recognized the state flag and some children saluted as it was opened for viewing. “We will be using our Cub Scouts to take these flags down each evening, so they will last longer and be safely put away,” Keuhey admitted. Miller and Gemelke agreed to coordinate this procedure among the students within the school and would be assisting in teaching them the proper method of retrieving and raising the flag each day. “That would be a good response for some of our Cub Scouts to share at this school. I think that can teach them to take on small jobs,” Miller stated, as one of the leaders from the local Boy Scout Troop 75.

The Skyd All AUDL 1st and 2nd team players were selected based on the positive impact they made on their team and the AUDL regular season. Three handlers and four cutters are named to each line. Each team nominated up to five of their own players, and then five or more players from other teams in their conference. The 31 players that received nominations from at least two teams, which could include a nomination from their own team, were then taken into consideration. Then two lines were selected from the nominated players factoring in statistics, team performance, value to their team, and recognition from opposing players and coaches. Selecting players from the cast of 31 was no easy task. First, some of the AUDL teams do a much better job of keeping statistics than others. Some teams statistics are incomplete and will remain so, while some teams provided more up to date stats than available on Leaguevine, which can make comparing players difficult. Another challenge is examining a player that does everything for a losing team against a solid contributor on a winning team. As DC Breeze Captain Liam Shramko put it, “You could make a team of all stars from other teams in the east and they still wouldn’t be as good as Toronto.” Deciding between players like Chris Powers, who put up gaudy numbers for the 4-12 Cincinnati Revolution, and Andrew Brown, who has played an important role for the 13-3 Madison Radicals but hasn’t put up huge stats, was no easy task. Deciding between O-Line and D-Line players and keeping their stats in perspective was another issue, but less than one might expect. With the exception of the Indianapolis AlleyCats, AUDL teams run much less strict O and D lines than their MLU counterparts. While there are some strictly O players and strictly D players, the stars on most teams tend to play a lot on both lines. And with that, here are your Skyd All AUDL 1st and 2nd teams: [spreadsheet 0Av_-QjPG4MD8dDFPdG5YLXN3QXVHYUItOFJMRXFmbEE 590 330] All AUDL 1st Team Handler: Jonathan Helton, Windy City Wildfire “Dude is an animal. He is not only a great player, but the nicest guy in the world. Goose has really had to step up on the offensive side of the disc with Brodie’s injury, and has also been huge on D. He can play any position on offense or defense and be explosive there. There is a reason Chicago is in first place, and it’s not because of Brodie. Chicago could live without Brodie. Goose and AJ are what really makes that team go,” – Cameron Brock, Indianapolis AlleyCats player Jonathan “Goose” Helton won the 2012 AUDL MVP, and has a compelling case to repeat. Whether it was throwing assists, catching goals, or getting D’s, Helton did it all this year, helping lead the Wildfire to a 14-2 record.. Helton was just one of two players with at least 30 Assists and 30 D’s in the AUDL this season, the other being Philadelphia’s Matt Esser. After the injury to Brodie Smith, Helton played an even bigger role in the Wildfire’s offense. Though he always played O-Line points when the game was on the line, after Smith’s injury he found himself playing O-Line more than expected, totaling 136 points there in all. For the second year in a row Helton had to step it up after an injury to Smith, and for the second year in a row he answered the call. Handler: David Brandolph, Philly Phoenix “Philadelphia’s offense is run through Dave Brandolph. His quick throws and great timing opens up the field. His exceptional experience and field vision allow him to instantly find cutters when their marks are even the slightest bit out of position.” – Phil Watanabe, Toronto Rush player. Unfortunately the number that sticks out the most when looking at Brandolph’s stats, even more than his amazing number of assists, are his league leading turnovers. All those turnovers contribute to an 89% completion rate, lower than any other handler on the 1st or 2nd All AUDL team. But those turnovers don’t tell the whole story. First, 16 came in just one extremely windy game against Rochester, where both teams had completion rates below 75%. In that game Brandolph had to have the disc in his hands, since he was better equipped than any other Phoenix player to overcome the terrible conditions. Brandolph is the point guard for the Phoenix offense, which fits since he used to play basketball as a point guard. After playing with the Spinners last year, Brandolph stuck with the AUDL to play with the Phoenix this season. And it’s hard to imagine that the Phoenix would be where they are without him. Handler: Chris Powers, Cincinnati Revolution “Considering the lack of scoring I see from Cincy, it’s amazing to me that he has as many assists as he does. He is a bright spot on an otherwise average team. He’s just so consistent and makes good decisions.”- Cameron Brock , Indianapolis AlleyCats player. Chris Powers may not have played on the most successful team, but when you look at his numbers it’s hard to argue with his spot on the first team. Not only did Powers have 74 assists, he had a 92.9% completion rate. For a handler with such a high usage rate that’s an incredible percentage. Only one other handler with 30 or more assists had a better completion percentage. One of the downsides to Powers game is that he hardly ever played on the D-Line, just 42 D points total, but as an O-Line handler, Powers was the complete package this season. High retention combined with big numbers. Cutter: Matt Esser, Philly Phoenix “Matt is definitely the breakthrough player of the Eastern division. Coming into the season no one expected much from him or Philadelphia but he definitely put both him and his team on the radar. Matt is a relentless cutter and a precise thrower. His athleticism is noticeable when he is making big grabs and celebrating them with a back flip. Look for his star to keep rising as he gets more exposure to the rest of the country.”- Mark Lloyd, Toronto Rush player. Matt Esser may have been the most complete player in the AUDL this season. The Phoenix leaned heavily on him this year too, Esser played 407 points, by far and away the most on Philadelphia. He played on both the O and D lines, and did everything for the Phoenix. Goals, Assists, D’s, big skies, smart decisions, you name it and Esser did it this season. His completion rate is a little lower than you might like from a cutter, but when considering the role Esser had to fill as the featured playmaker for the Phoenix, you can overlook the 86% completion rate. Esser was the only 30-30-30 (30 Goals, Assists, and D’s) player in the league. Cutter: Keenan Plew, Indianapolis Alleycats “One of the fastest guys in the league. His acceleration is what makes you work the hardest. The awareness he has to drift to the side of the field, then cut to the open field causes you to keep your head on a swivel the entire point.” – Neil Narayan, Cincinnati Revolution player. Keenan Plew is another player without elite level club experience that did damage and put up big numbers against some elite competition this year. Plew is the only player with 50 goals and 50 assists in the AUDL, truly amazing numbers. Plew made his defenders choose, force him deep and let him score or force him under and let him get the assist. It’s something said of many players in Ultimate, and quite a few named to this team, but it’s never more accurate than it is describing Keenan Plew. What’s really separates Plew from the rest of the top cutters in the AUDL is his completion percentage. Most of the top AUDL cutters that also look for assists (Lloyd, Carnegie, Wiseman, Esser, Lindquist, Burns) have completion percentages at 85% or lower. Not so for Keenan Plew, who boasts a 95.4% completion rate. And while he’s not a beast in the air the way his teammate Cameron Brock is, Plew can hold his own, and more often than not he is so open that he doesn’t need to sky his defender to pick up the goal. Cutter: AJ Nelson, Windy City Wildfire “Very tough to guard. Makes great cuts, turns upfield and makes good throws, but most importantly, he is one of the few O line players that works hard and makes huge D’s on a turn.” –Travis Carpenter, Indianapolis AlleyCats player. AJ Nelson makes life easy for the Windy City Wildfire. Matching up against his speed and height is extremely difficult, so many of the Wildfire’s opponents threw zone (especially early in the season) to prevent Nelson from getting open deep. When a cutter is so dominant that teams would rather throw zone on a 53 yard wide field against handlers like Bob Liu, Brett Kolinek, Ron Kubalanza, Brodie Smith (during the first half of the season) and Jonathan Helton, that is a great sign of respect. And even when those teams threw zone he still got open deep on occasion. Plus, while Nelson doesn’t have the throws that you might expect from an All AUDL player, he’s smart with the disc and has better throws than you might think. He limited his turnovers, throwing at a 96% completion rate this year. The Wildfire wouldn’t have finished first in the Midwest without him. Cutter: Mark Lloyd, Toronto Rush “His defense is phenomenal. His bids are outrageous. He is by far and away the best player in the east,” -Liam Shramko, DC Breeze player. Mark Lloyd has had to miss a number of games due to his Team Canada commitments, but whenever he was on the field he made big plays for Toronto. He either assisted or caught a goal on 31% of the points he played. To give you some perspective, AJ Nelson scored or assisted on 25% of the points he played. He came through with a D on 16% of the points he played. Husayn Carnegie only did at a 12% rate, and Jonathan Helton at a 10% rate. If he’d played the full slate of games, it’s likely that Lloyd would have been seen as the clear MVP of the AUDL. Even with those missed games, his cumulative stats are still impressive. Lloyd and Matt Esser were the only players in the league to have at least 40 goals and 30 D’s. Handler: Andrew Brown, Madison Radicals “Andrew Brown has made his presence known in the AUDL. He is the anchor in the back field for the Radicals. He is practically unmarkable and more often than not the Radicals offense is started and sometimes finished by Brown,” – Tom Annen, Madison Radicals player. Looking at his assist numbers you might wonder why Andrew Brown is an all AUDL player. While it’s true that players like Tom Annen and Dave Wiseman rack up more of the assists for Madison, Brown is the player that makes their offense go more than anyone else. He’s a quick handler that gets open for resets and up line cuts more consistently than anyone else in the league. And when he has the disc in his hand, he makes the right decision. His completion rate of 97% is truly remarkable for a handler. He averages 2.25 throws per point, higher than any other nominated player, especially impressive considering that over a third of the points he played were on D-Line. Handler: Thomson McKnight, Toronto Rush “Thomson is the offensive backbone of the team. His ability to read the play and distribute the disc is unparalleled on the team and maybe the league. Thomson is the team’s leader in throws and touches with a 93% throw percentage and 99% catch percentage,”- Evan Phillips, Toronto Rush Coach. Thomson McKnight is another GOAT player that made his presence known playing for the undefeated Rush this year. On a team with so many interchangeable parts, McKnight has been a reliable O-Line handler for the Rush. On Toronto he isn’t playing the featured handler role that players like Chris Powers, Daniel Selwyn, and David Brandolph fill, because Toronto doesn’t need him to do that, though it doesn’t mean he couldn’t if called upon. He’s got a great flick that he can deliver with some serious zip on it, and sees the field very well. Handler: Daniel Selwyn, DC Breeze “Daniel Selwyn commands the DC Breeze offense with one of the highest usage rates in the league. Top 10 in the League for multiple stats, Selwyn has kept the Breeze in games with pinpoint hucks and buzzer-beaters, in addition to his signature scoobers on the goal line.” – Glenn Poole, DC Breeze player. Daniel “White Hat” Selwyn had to carry a remarkably heavy load as the go to O-Line handler for the DC Breeze this year. The Breeze only went 4-12, and their O-Line spent more time on the field than they would have liked. But they had a few players stand out for them, and none more so than Selwyn. Selwyn had 850 recorded throws, easily enough for the league lead. And making that even more remarkable is that number doesn’t factor in a two game road trip the Breeze took late in the season against Toronto and Rochester, which they didn’t keep stats for. And it’s not like all those throws were useless either, the Breeze counted on Selwyn to break zones, and looked for him to throw points on the goal line. Because he was more likely to take high risk throws, he ended up throwing a lot of turnovers (65) and his completion rate suffered a bit, ending up at 89%. Still, he was the only player with at least 50 assists and 25 D’s, an impressive number of D’s for an O-Line handler. Cutter: Cameron Brock, Indianapolis Alleycats. “He is one of the best athletes in the league. He out jumps and out sprints almost anyone on a deep cut. He also does an amazing job at timing continue cuts near the endzone and is able to score tons of points because of it.” – Travis Carpenter, Indianapolis AlleyCats player. Some have said that Cameron Brock is a one dimensional player. It is true that he’s an O-Line player that excels at getting open in the end zone, and his throws aren’t going to earn him any trophies. But the scouting report has been out on Brock for a while now, and his production hasn’t slowed down. In one of the most important games of the AlleyCats season, Brock showed he wasn’t just a one trick pony. Indianapolis was just 5-6, playing in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wind Chill, their primary adversary for the final playoff spot. The Wind Chill gave Brock wide open under cuts, making sure he wouldn’t get open in the end zone. They dared Brock to beat them with his throws. And he ended up throwing six assists, usually finding Plew in the end zone. They weren’t breathtaking throws, but they went where they were supposed to and the AlleyCats ended up with a surprisingly easy 29-21 victory over Minnesota. And this past Sunday he ended the season with an eight goal game against Madison, finishing with a league leading 91. Cutter: Jeff Lindquist, Toronto Rush “Link is living up to his reputation as one of the best deep defenders in the game. Although not officially endorsed by the coaching staff he has a knack for baiting his check and the thrower into bombing it deep, only snare the disc at a very high percentage. His versatility of throws near the endzone is also a major benefit to the team. He routinely puts on an in game throwing clinic of less than normal break throws which are remarkably effective.”- Evan Phillips, Toronto Rush coach. Jeff Lindquist has been one of the top players on GOAT for years, and definitely didn’t disappoint in his first season on the Rush. He has nasty throws and is very difficult to beat in the air. This combination led to him scoring or assisting on 34.7% of the points he played, even better than his teammate Mark Lloyd. Lindquist is a complete player that would have been a first team selection had he been able to play more games. But just like Mark Lloyd, his overall numbers aren’t too shabby. He ended the season with 27 goals, 39 assists, 24 D’s. Cutter: Pat Shriwise, Madison Radicals “Hurts you on both sides of disc. An intense defender who will punish you on the turn.” – Chris Powers, Cincinnati Revolution player. Shriwise is a Kansas State graduate that has been playing on Madison Club the last few years. He’s big, fast, and a great all around player. What separates Shriwise from similarly built and skilled players is that he sees isn’t nearly as turnover prone. Shriwise has a completion rate of 93.3%. The only cutters with better percentages on the 1st or second team are AJ Nelson and Keenan Plew. And Shriwise makes plays with his throws more often than Nelson does. He finished with 26 assists on the season, and though he wasn’t the Radicals flashiest player, he was one of their keys to success. Cutter: Dave Wiseman, Madison Radicals “Wiseman is one of the biggest guys on the field for the Radicals as well as one of the best throwers downfield, wind or no wind. He has been an unstoppable force for the Radical offense. If teams front him, he’ll catch deep shots, if teams back him he will throw pin point hucks for goals.” – Tom Annen, Madison Radicals player. Dave Wiseman is more well known in the ultimate community than most players on this list, having recently led the Wisconsin Hodags to back to back finals appearances in 2011 and 2012. He was primarily a cutter for the Radicals, but a cutter that wasn’t afraid to take deep looks, leading to 49 assists. Wiseman also does a great job of using his height, and is extremely difficult to beat in the air. That advantage helped him get 26 D’s, more than any other Radicals player. Because of his huck happy nature he was more prone to turnovers, finishing fourth in the league with 52. His completion rate was 85%, not great, but not much different from players like Matt Esser or Mark Lloyd. In naming a team like this many notable players are going to be left off. Here’s a line that were all close considerations, though they weren’t the only close calls not to make it. Honorable Mentions: Dave Hochalter, Tom Annen, Izzy Bryant, Husayn Carnegie, Timothy Burns, Cullen Geppert, Brian Schoenrock Dave Hochalter was the engine behind the Mechanix this year, a handler that could get open deep. Tom Annen and Izzy Bryant both did great work as handlers for their respective teams, and were great leaders on the field. Timothy Burns had a fantastic year for Rochester, and his hard work shows when you look at his numbers. Cullen Geppert did a great job taking advantage of teams that paid too much attention to AJ Nelson, and helped dictate the offense for the Wildfire. Brian Schoenrock was the standout defensive player for the Wind Chill, and would get sky high for a lot of his d’s. Husayn Carnegie was the toughest player to leave off the list. He’s a great help defender that’s a highlight machine. His defense and amazing catches are the most important parts of his game, but he’s also capable of making big throws. In the end though, he’s just too turnover prone. His completion rate was just 77%, far behind anyone to make the first or second team. He turned the disc on 19% of the points he played. The final spot came down to Wiseman and Carnegie, and looking at the numbers it was difficult to justify putting Carnegie in ahead of Wiseman. Feature photo by Alex Fraser – Ultiphotos.com

This is my all-time painting project where I research material and the boundaries of painting, drawing and printmaking. Color is one of the most important things in my work. But I’m also interested in the movement of lines and the rhythm that moving strokes create. By challenging my materials and techniques, I’m in dialog with painting as a tool to express. The academic rules and methods are to be stretched and crossed in my opinion.

Management of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients remains a challenge in the control of tuberculosis worldwide. MDR-TB patients require long term treatment with drugs that cause various adverse effects especially ototoxicity associated with aminoglycoside. Current treatment guidelines still include aminoglycosides use especially in developing countries. However, there is dearth of information regarding ototoxic effects of MDR-TB treatment in Nigeria. This study explored the prevalence of ototoxicity and associated factors among MDR-TB patients during the intensive phase of treatment. A retrospective review of records of 383 MDR-TB patients admitted at two specialist treatment centers in South West Nigeria from 2012 – 2017 was conducted. Using a structured proforma, socio demographic characteristics and clinical history were extracted. Ototoxicity was assessed as any abnormality reported from a pure tone audiometry. Discrete data were summarized with frequencies, proportions while bivariate analysis was done using chi square test to identify associated factors. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of ototoxic effects. All statistical significance was set at 5 %. Out of the 383 records extracted, however only 143(37.3 %) had audiometry performed. Of these 143 MDR-TB patients, mean age was 36.2 ± 11.3 years and prevalence of any ototoxic effect was 72.7 %. This was higher in older age groups, females and those underweight. (p>0.05) Patients who did not sputum convert at the end of treatment and HIV co infected had higher proportions with ototoxic effects. (p < 0.05). However, on multivariate analysis only age remained a significant independent predictor of ototoxic effect. (AOR: 8.7; 95 % CI: 1.4-52.2) Adverse effects are main deterrents to compliance and completion of long term treatment regimen. High rates of ototoxic effects as seen in this study could affect successful management of MDR-TB patients. Auditory monitoring and rehabilitation should be recommended for MDR-TB patients even after completion of the intensive phase of treatment.

Sage Jennings Daves, 22, is facing one charge of murder (first-degree felony). On Aug. 27, at around 8:40 a.m., Sage’s father reportedly called Sage regarding a man “causing issues” at their property, court documents state. Police said Sage left work, which was located in Dove Creek, Colorado, and drove around 20 miles to the victim’s Monticello home. Sage reportedly went to the home to discuss the property dispute. Sage told police that during the conversation, the victim threatened to “burn Sage’s family alive.” Court documents state that the victim then grabbed a pitchfork and went after Sage, saying, “I’m going to gut you” along with racial slurs. Sage reportedly then ran to his truck and grabbed his gun from the center console. Sage told police that the victim stabbed the front of his truck with the pitchfork, before continuing to threaten Sage. Court documents state that Sage pointed the gun at the man to get him to stop, but that the man instead lunged at him with the pitchfork. Sage reportedly then shot 17 rounds at the man, striking him multiple times. The victim reportedly had bullet wounds in his left leg, left arm, abdomen, shoulders, chest, and head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the current offense is a capital felony, and that Sage admits to shooting the victim several times. Sage was booked into the San Juan County Jail on the charges previously stated.

From fighting in the playground to staging a series of armed robberies, his aggression led inexorably towards its terrifying culmination in a string of sex assaults. But what in his background led Imiela to rape so many women? His childhood was violent. Imiela moved with his parents in 1961 from Lubeck in West Germany to Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. Here his Polish-born father would take out his frustrations on the young boy, beating him frequently. At strict St John's Catholic school in nearby Bishop Auckland, Imiela was ridiculed for his distinct German accent - a severe handicap in the post-war North-East. All this led him to rely on his fists for protection, and as he grew older he developed into what his family called "a natural fighting machine". When Toni - as his sister Jadwiga Imiela still calls him - was 15, his mother walked out and returned to Germany. "Mum could not cope," she says. "Toni was wild and became worse after she left. He was devastated. Every time he saw someone in the street who resembled her, his heart would sink. He thought she didn't love him." Ms Imiela, 39, added: "Father withdrew to his pigeon loft and became aloof. Toni began playing truant, became a bit of a tearaway and would pick fights with other teenagers in the street. Antoni Imiela's own son Aidan, 20, says: "My family always say it was as if he was designed to fight. He was incredibly quick with his fists and it took nothing to provoke him. He was well built, but agile with it." In a series of letters he wrote to Aidan, Imiela showed no remorse for his crimes. And he confessed, "I cannot control my sexual urges", adding: "I'm a man, you must understand that sometimes you have no control over your impulses." When Aidan told his father he was "mad", and had a wife who loved him, he replied: "You know what it's like when you're out with the lads and some girl is giving you the eye." In his first letter to his son from jail, prisoner JR 4998 hinted at the truth. "I do not know how to say what should perhaps be said ... I felt proud when I saw in the papers the confidence that you put in me, and am so sorry that I have been charged with these crimes," he wrote. He repeatedly says he is prepared to "do the time", and asks his son to look after his wife Christine. To Aidan, the implications of the letters are clear. "Without saying as much, he is admitting things that he could not discuss openly. I am reconciled to his guilt," he said. Imiela's early aggression led to ever more violent conflicts. While courting Allyson Pletts, Aidan's mother, he hospitalised a man he thought had tried to talk to her in a club. Another time at the Iron Horse pub in his home town, he was charged with grievous bodily harm after he "pummelled" five men he claimed threatened him. While serving time for a series of post office raids, Imiela put a sign on the wall. Aidan recalled: "It said, 'Anybody who has a problem with me can come to my cell and have a go.' He was fearless. Nobody messed with him." During his relationship with Allyson, Imiela would often punch and kick her "simply because he was angry". When she spoke to other men he would fly into a rage and beat her, only to calm down minutes later, apologise and shower her with gifts. Ms Pletts, 43, of Newton Aycliffe, said: "He was completely insecure and paranoid. He became possessive about me. " If he thought I had spoken to another man it drove him mad. He would punch me and leave me bruised. I don't know why I didn't try to leave him. Perhaps it was because he was always so apologetic afterwards and would buy me presents." It was after the birth of Aidan in 1983 that Ms Pletts discovered Imiela's dark side. In 1987, Imiela, wearing a balaclava and wielding a shotgun, held up a Darlington post office and escaped with £10,000. Police raided the couple's home. He was forced to admit to his wife that whilst going out with her, he had committed numerous armed raids. Their relationship ended when Imiela went to ground for a year to avoid the police before finally giving himself up. Ms Pletts said: "I knew he had been in Borstal at the age of 15 for armed robbery, but I didn't know he was still doing it. One day, whilst he was on the run, he leapt out at me from behind a bush as I was walking home. Another time he arrived at my friend's house pretending to be a salesman. "He committed robberies because he craved a lavish lifestyle. We were comfortable, but he wanted more - the big house, a Ferrari and a flash lifestyle." But despite his violent nature, Ms Pletts said there was nothing unusual about their sex life, which was "actually boring". Aidan is now adamant he never wants to see his father again. "I could live with being the son of an armed robber. He did not hurt anybody and was desperate for cash," he said. "But these crimes are totally different. These women will suffer the rest of their lives. He has made our family's lives a misery, too."

Weddings provide more than $700 million of business a year to the Middle East jewelry industry according to the organizers of Bride 2004, the exhibition for wedding day organizers and brides-to-be in the region. Managing Director of organizers IIR Exhibitions Jessica Sutherland estimates that up to one third of the cost of an average middle class wedding will be accounted for by jewelry. “As much as $25,000 is spent on jewelry for an average wedding and that includes not only presents to the couple plus their own jewels but also members of the families buying jewelry for themselves for the event,” said Sutherland. More than 10 jewelry suppliers are taking part in Bride 2004, which runs until April 15 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre. — (menareport.com) © 2004 Mena Report (www.menareport.com )

The first time I saw Judith she asked me to hold her gun. Then she walked into her room to change out of her army clothes. From heard the loud, up-tempo beat of Samba music coming through the closed The music got louder as the door was flung open, and out danced Judith arms in the air and her tight jeans swaying to the sound of the Samba. She smiled at me as she put her arms around Moses’ neck and danced with her long brown hair swaying with the Samba. I was so jealous, and I kissed her yet. They were both great dancers, but it was Judith I was looking at, not had the sexiest body and she really knew how to move to the music. They for around 20 minutes and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. ‘Thank you’, she said, as I gave her back her semi-automatic. She smiled at me and her soft, hazel eyes looked into mine for just a split second too long. I was in love. I knew now that she liked me. I’d thought I’d imagined looks she’d given me from another table in the dining room, day after day, week after week. But no, she was definitely interested. She threw the gun over her shoulder and arranged her hair over the strap ease and thoughtlessness of a long-time habit. ‘Hungry?’. She asked. ‘Yes, starving!’, I replied as we walked side by side, and rather shyly, towards the dining hall.

Everything about non dual awareness...you have to realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outdoors it prior to you will get rid of it; and why you will need to eliminate it before you can understand the entire world as it truly is. Text, Chapter 12 I think that don't just could be the Course a kind of scripture, Additionally, it appears to see itself as a completely new Bible. It definitely sees itself in the road or lineage on the Bible. As Allen Watson identified in Viewing the Bible In a different way, the Course routinely refers to the Bible (made up of over 800 allusions to biblical passages), utilizes phrases and symbols from the biblical custom (about a few dozen by my rely), and it has the exact same big figure (Jesus). Though the Course is rooted inside the Western spiritual tradition, What's more, it partakes of deep styles in Jap spirituality. The religions on the East are already filtering into our lifestyle for more than a century now, and so most of us are acquainted with a minimum of some of their standard themes. In reality, the title, A Course in Miracles, largely implies "a course in Mastering how to extend miracles to Many others." The word "wonder" during the Course largely refers to an interpersonal function, a therapeutic that extends from my mind to yours. A Course in Miracles, consequently, seriously is a course in tips on how to mend others, mend interactions, and preserve the earth. The teachings with the Course are non-dualistic teachings. When you return into ancient China or back into India, you would've heard about Advaita Vedanta. Advaita basically means “not two,” and that is a method of talking about the fact that there's a oneness which connects us all. 34. to have an result or here make an effect; display forth: These fight photos read with excellent impact.

It’s not like you go to another put or as though there’s an afterlife in which website you start a brand new everyday living. A ebook or other printed course in miracles make a difference: Eventually, It is really Maas' reporter's eye for detail that makes ''China White'' an excellent read (1958+) Knowing; interpretation; just take: What is your read on this?

Forgiveness also heals associations, opening how free online to genuine signing up for. It reconciles individuals, for that partitions that independent us are developed from the bricks of resentment. Forgiveness can even conserve the world, for what keeps our earth in misery nevertheless the hatred of generations traded forwards and backwards? The Course sights truth as composed only of God’s views, which are loving, continuous, timeless and eternal. Evil, sin and guilt are thought to be misperceptions. Sin is viewed as deficiency of love, or being a mistake contacting for correction and appreciate, rather then for guilt and punishment. Irrespective of yrs of devotional follow, to no avail, Papaji in the long run understood his legitimate mother nature soon after he achieved Ramana Maharshi, whose easy instruction was to “discover the seer.” to Christianity. I would guess This can be unconventional, although I do hear of other Christians who will be students of your Course. The vision that previous Trappist monk Francis Bennett shares is really an tactic knowledgeable by a transparent non-dual eyesight of actuality lived profoundly during the Christ-Consciousness, by our ordinary human life.

The research in the field of Astroparticle Physics at KVI-CART focuses on the study of the sky map of the high-energy Universe, addressing the unknown origin of cosmic rays at the highest energies. Cosmic rays are a collective name for a variety of subatomic particles that are continuously bombarding the outer layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. While the Sun is a well-known source of low-energy cosmic rays, the origin of particles with energies in excess of 1012 eV is still an open question. Supernovae explosions, for instance, are commonly believed to be the source of cosmic rays with energies up to 1015 eV, but so far it has not been possible to prove this observationally. Beyond this energy domain cosmic-ray particles must originate from unknown extragalactic sources at very large distances. Some of these particles are reaching energies well in excess of the highest energies that can be produced in the most advanced man-made particle accelerators. In fact, cosmic rays are the only observed ultra-high energy (UHE) particles on Earth, i.e. with energies in excess of 1016 eV. Still, the acceleration mechanism(s) leading to such ultra-high energies and their sources remain largely unknown. Another source for cosmic radiation, in particular neutrinos, could be the annihilation of dark matter particles. There is a variety of topics that are addressed in astroparticle physics, among which - Finding the sources of cosmic rays at the highest energies. - Intergalactic magnetic fields that affect the path of charged cosmic rays. - Physics in energetic astronomical processes that may lead to the production of ultra-high energy particles. - Physics in particle cascades in the atmosphere and the emission of electromagnetic radiation of radio frequencies. Although lightning is being studied for more than 250 years, the details of the lightning mechanisms are still unknown. With the advent of digital radio detection arrays, such as the LOFAR instrument a new window has been opened which allows precision measurements of the initial steps in lightning initiation and propagation. In a recent study, we have shown that the radio measurements of the particle shower can be used to study the strength and the direction of the electric fields in the atmosphere. The determined electric fields can be correlated with the structure of the part of the thundercloud that is probed. |Laatst gewijzigd:||15 mei 2017 14:50|

When we bring home an adopted child, we do everything we can to make her feel safe and loved. If she’s a baby, we fix up a nursery with all the things that will bring comfort to our new tiny addition. We wrap her in a soft, cozy blanket and sit in a rocking chair to soothe her and make her feel safe. If he’s a little older, we make sure he has a room with a comfy bed where he can feel we care and want him to be happy. We probably have a few balls and cars for him to play with, depending on his age. We make sure he has clothes that fit and maybe even have a super hero on his shirt or pajamas. We do all we can to make our child feel welcomed and loved. We don’t stop there. We continue to give the child whatever we can to help him or her have the best life possible. These things matter, but they are not at the top of the list. There is something else far more important that we must give our child. It’s a mom and dad who love each other. That is where the real security comes to a child. Take a look at what is going on in your marriage relationship. Here’s a list of seven things you can do that will help ensure that your child feels he or she is in a home with caring parents who truly love each other. Seven marital do’s that create security for your children 1. Speak kindly to your spouse. Let your child see this in your everyday communications as husband and wife. Children are very sensitive to loud and insulting remarks. This can be disturbing to a child. On the other hand when they see or hear their parents speaking gently and kindly to each other, it creates a feeling of peace. One side effect is that they will mimic the behavior they see in the parents, whether it be good or bad. Make it good. 2. Handle your disagreements privately and calmly, away from the earshot of your children. If you think they can’t hear arguing through a wall in another room, you are sorely mistaken. Their little ears are sensitive and will pick up on anger in an instant. A report from the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationship stated, “While periodic conflict between couples is natural, and something which most children will be exposed to at some point in their lives without necessarily experiencing adverse effects, couple conflict which is frequent, intense and poorly resolved is very harmful.” Children fear that if their parents are arguing, it means they’re going to get divorced, and that’s frightening to them. It may not be true, but it’s a reality in their minds. So if you’re having disagreements that are beyond expressing your differing opinions in a friendly manner, find someplace away from the house to solve the problem. 3. Let them see you hugging and kissing. This reminds me of the Family Circus cartoon that shows the young children watching their parents kissing in the kitchen. One says to the other, “I feel all warm and happy when I see Mommy and Daddy kissing.” These visible expressions of love between their parents send a message that their mom and dad love each other, and that’s like having a warm, fuzzy blanket wrapped around them. 4. Work together in the household duties. It’s good for kids to see their parents sharing the duties that come with running a home. This will show them what a good marriage is like. If one parent ends up doing all the work while the other parent veges out by the TV or goes somewhere else to “play,” then there is bound to be conflict. Kids can easily pick up on injustice. And believe me when I say they will imitate your behavior. When Dad pitches in to help with household tasks, it shows them what marital cooperation is. It also shows them that they need to pitch in, too. They will be more inclined to be a participating family member when they see this type of parental cooperation happening. Becoming a contributing member of a family creates feelings of security. 5. Pray and attend church together. When your children see you praying together it will bring peace to their souls. Moms and dads need to take turns praying out loud with the family—giving thanks at the dinner table, saying a night-time family prayer together. Even let them catch you doing your nightly couple ritual of kneeling by your bed, holding hands, and praying together. This will bring them more comfort than you’ll ever know. Along with this, go to church together. If only one parent goes to church and takes the children they will discern that you are not in spiritual harmony. Be united in spiritual matters. Going to church is one way to build that bond. Then when you get the children ready to go, they’ll know you’re not doing it just so they’ll go. They’ll discover that faith in God matters to you and that you enjoy learning about Him together as a family. That can remove mountains of fear from a child’s heart. 6. Talk to each other and listen. Sometimes, couples don’t take the time to talk together. Life gets busy, and they just end up doing the necessities. How can you ever grow close if you don’t share each others dreams and concerns? Impossible. Take time to visit with each other. And listen while your partner is talking. I mean really listen, not just act like it while you’re thinking of what you can say next. No. Just listen and do your best to understand. It’s a gift you can so easily give your spouse. By observing their parents listening to each other your children will learn this skill. And they will see this as one more evidence that Mom and Dad enjoy being together. More security. 7. Keep your mate at the top of your list. Sometimes parents think their children should be at the top of their priority list. They need to be very close, but not on the top. When you honor your spouse by giving her or him priority, that increases love by leaps and bounds. At dinner serve your spouse first; take turns doing this. The kids will see this respect and learn their place. When kids think they are the center of the universe they become selfish and unaware of the needs of others. Love them and care for them, but don’t pamper them. Then when they are out on their own they will be ready to face a world that will definitely not pamper them. That’s security. These seven actions can go a long way in bringing a feeling of security to your adopted children who may be dealing with the insecurity of being adopted. The more stability they see at home, the more stability they will feel in their own lives. A happily married mom and dad is one of the most valuable ways you can help make that happen. Give your children this love and security, starting today.

Lewis Hamilton takes his 65th F1 Pole for Canadian Grand Prix, and it’s to equal F1 legend Ayrton Senna. The Brit has delivered a awesome lap in qualifying for Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix, a 1:11.459, to score his fourth pole of the 2017 Formula 1 season. Hamilton was quickest in Q2, on a 1:12.496s, following the Brit set provisional pole with a 1:11.791s lap on his first Q3 attempt, instantly Vettel responded and made second fastest – falling short by just 0.004 seconds, following he struggled at the Turn 6/7 chicane. In Q3 final run the triple-time world champion did an awesome lap with a 1:11.459s to seal pole, nearest title challenger Vettel 0.336s short of taking the top spot. The second Mercedes ace Valtteri Bottas was third fastest. The Finn was slightly quicker than Hamilton in Q1 and not far behind in Q2, but was well crushed in Q3, finishing over seven tenths of a second down on his team-mate. FP2 pacemaker Kimi Raikkonen touch the wall in Q1 and ended up fourth fastest overall in the second Ferrari, complaining of a “really shit” first corner on his quickest lap. The Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo slotted in fifth and sixth respectively, with the Force India drivers Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon eighth and ninth ahead of Felipe Massa (Williams) and Nico Hulkenberg (Renault) will start in seventh and 10th, respectively.

Over the last couple of months there have been stories in the New York Times and CNN focusing on the ethical relationship between advertisers and bloggers. First, the National Advertising Review Council called out two different blogger sites for their so-called product reviews and not mentioning the fact that these products were actually owned by the company running the site. More recently, the Federal Trade Commission announced blogger rules as part of revisions to the agency's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising to address this specific issue. Why is this important? When the line between journalistic blogger and advertiser is clearly being blurred, it is important for the organizations policing these types of activities to step up and do something about it for both the integrity of the site and for fair disclosure to the reader. Bias is what taints the blogger community in any industry and readers need to understand where a blogger’s bias lays. Readers can dig a little deeper and uncover the other relationships a blogger has that might impact their objectivity in their writing. This is something we did this summer when Connect2 called out a technology blogger for his rants against press releases and the way they are written. When we dug a little deeper we found that this blogger was also a marketing director for a company and was guilty of doing exactly what he was ranting against. In this case, the digging showed the irony of the situation, but it also highlighted his bias. One of the ways Connect2 Communications has always measured the credibility of bloggers is by looking at the other ways they are credentialed in the industry. For example, they are a journalist writing for an industry publication or an analyst who writes his own personal blog in addition to the research work his does for his firm or the conference organizer sharing her thoughts on the industry as a whole. We believe when a blogger has another identity in the industry it lends more credibility to their work and you know that you are working with a more legitimate resource. Bloggers are still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of press relations, but they are becoming a much stronger voice and relevant player within many industries. As a marketing manager looking for advocates within the industry, you need to be careful who you work with so you can be assured that what you see is really what you get.

The Gnome 2 desktop has been one of the most popular desktops on GNU/Linux over the years. But Gnome 3 brought big changes, and things are still being added and removed from it, which has frustrated me. And so I've finally convinced myself to drop it entirely. I had managed to run Gnome 3 in Fallback Mode and, by applying the "Clearlooks-phenix" theme and a handful of tweaks, got it almost as useful as Gnome 2. I was missing the ability to customize the menus, and the tray application I use to automatically run applications in the tray "kdocker" wasn't as seamless as "alltray" was with Gnome 2. But then, it was announced that Fallback Mode will be gone in Gnome 3.8, replaced with some sort of "Classic Mode" session: so the work I had just done to get Fallback Mode functional may be lost. Then recently, after trying Fedora 18, I discovered that the developers have simplified and stripped features from Nautilus, Gnome's file manager. Two of the features that I use on a daily basis - split pane view and compact view - are gone in Gnome 3.6. This was the last straw for me; I'm done with Gnome 3. Thankfully, Fedora 18 will have MATE support, which is the continued development of Gnome 2. But you cannot install MATE by default on its own with the installation DVD for Fedora 18: if you want a clean MATE installation (without the extra bloat of the full Gnome 3 packages), you can use one of two options: - Install Fedora 18 with the Network Installation CD, which will allow you to select the MATE Desktop environment as your default environment to install. - Install Fedora 18 with the Installation DVD, and specifying the Minimal Install. Then, add MATE afterward, which will require about 500 MB of downloads from the Fedora repository. I opted for the second option with the Minimal Install. Thankfully, it was not too overly difficult. These are the steps needed: 1. Install Fedora 18, Minimal Install, from the DVD. 2. Log in as root, and run this command to download and install everything needed for the MATE Desktop environment: yum groupinstall "Mate Desktop" Wait while the entire 500 MB downloads and installs. 3. Activate graphical logon with the command: ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target 4. Create a normal user account (use your favourite tool, such as "useradd", etc.). 5. Reboot to test the changes, and the graphical logon should come up and default to "MATE" for the session at the logon screen. Log in with your normal user account and enjoy MATE. It has all of the bells and whistles that Gnome 2 had, and applications that were broken in Gnome 3 now work again, such as "alltray". It was definitely nice having these programs back again. One thing to watch out for with MATE, however, is that some applications that were part of Gnome are renamed for MATE. For instance, Nautilus is now known as Caja, and gEdit is now known as Pluma. There has also been talk about the Cinnamon Desktop which is also included with Fedora 18, and even the possibility of it becoming the new default desktop environment for the next release of Fedora. Cinnamon is more modern than MATE, however MATE is a very strong option since it has many years of refinement behind it from Gnome 2.

Topic: Dying for Others [October 14, 2016] Read: 1 John 3:16–17, Bible in a Year: Isaiah 43–44; 1 Thessalonians 2 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. - John 10:11 I love birds, which is why I bought six caged birds and carried them home to our daughter Alice, who began to care for them daily. Then one of the birds fell ill and died. We wondered if the birds would be more likely to thrive if they were not caged. So we freed the surviving five and observed them fly away in jubilation. Alice then pointed out, “Do you realize, Daddy, that it was the death of one bird that caused us to free the rest?” Isn’t that what the Lord Jesus did for us? Just as one man’s sin (Adam’s) brought condemnation to the world, so one Man’s righteousness (Jesus’s) brought salvation to those who believe (Rom. 5:12–19). Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). John makes it more practical when he says, “Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters” (1 John 3:16). This won’t likely mean literal death, but as we align our lives with Jesus’s example of sacrificial love, we find that we are “laying down our lives.” For instance, we might choose to deprive ourselves of material goods in order to share them with others (v. 17) or make time to be with someone who needs comfort and companionship. Who do you need to sacrifice for today? In what ways have others sacrificed for your well-being? Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for us motivates us to sacrifice ourselves for others. John reminds believers to model the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. True Christian love is sacrificial action (1 John 3:16) and selfless generosity (v. 17). John exhorts us to be loving and genuine, both in our speech and, more so, in our actions (v. 18). This kind of sacrificial love is the clearest of evidence that one has a new life (v. 14). The person who lacks love shows that he does not really know God nor is he in close fellowship with God, “for God is love” (1 John 4:7–8). Reminiscent of John 3:16, 1 John 4:9–10 once again reiterates how much God loves us (vv. 9–10). This message was written by Lawrence Darmani [Our Daily Bread Ministries.]

Anyone with a Netflix account and an iPhone or iPad will have undoubtedly downloaded or at least tried the Netflix for iOS app. It allows subscribers to stream and watch any movies or TV shows available on the site. The latest version of the iOS app includes a few welcome updates. Nothing groundbreaking though. Version 4.0 features a new episode selector for iPad, which should enable much easier episode selection while using the program on Apple’s tablet. It also has a redesigned audio and subtitle selector and a couple of bug fixes to enhance the overall experience. If you have the app already, simply check for updates in the App Store, if not, hit this link to download it for free.

In a previous blog post about the relation between contradictions and aggression we suggested that on-going paradoxical messages could affect a person’s mental health. Also, contradictions, if not noticed, can lead to feelings of powerlessness and furious destructive aggression. The title of this post is such a contradiction or a paradox. Some of our readers have asked for some more examples or contradictions. Here are some that we collected over years. we admit that it needs some thinking effort to fathom the double meaning of some. So, don’t read this. . .*&^#Grrrgrr”#^&* - Jim: “I don’t mean anything with this”. Suzy: “What do you mean with that? Jim: Nothing”. Suzy: “*&^#Grrrrgrr#^&* - A protester carries a sign above his head, saying: “Against protest”. - A check player to his opponent: “Afterwards we should decide who shall start?” - “My task is to teach you something, and your task is to listen”, a professor says to his students, and continues, ” If you are finished listening, please tell me so I can stop teaching.” - A Neanderthal man had just invented the wheel, when a passing fellow tribesman asked him: “But how do you kill enemies with that thing?” - Mother: “I think sex is dangerous and dirty, but I like it when a boy gives my daughter his attention.” - Same mother: “Sons should be polite and tidy, but I love when they are rude and rowdy.” - Sam to Peter: ” Every time I ask you something, you deny it”. Peter (irritated): “Of course not!” Sam: “Look at you, you’re getting angry “. Peter: “You are really mad, aren’t you?” Sam: “I said so, you are really aggressive”. - Here in our community we have only one rule and that is that there are no rules. . . - A waitress in a restaurant says to a customer: ” If you have any complaints about the staff, you should talk with the boss’s wife”. - Carl: ” I prefer not to put forward any of my ideas”. - Wife to husband: ” You never give me flowers if I don’t ask for it”. - “If you are really powerful”, said the Devil to God, ” then make a boulder so huge you can’t lift it up”. - Boss at an employee: ” That’s what made our company great. You suggest ideas, and I shoot them off”. - A wife shows her just coiffed hair to her lover: “Do you like it?”. Lover: “It’s beautiful”. Wife: “Didn’t like you my previous hairstyle?” Lover: “Yes, sure!”. Wife: “But now not any longer?” And on and on until eternity. . . The examples above are funny but quite seriously. . .*&^#Grrrgrr”#^&* Paradoxical messages can seriously paralyze human relations and even lead to schizophrenic behavior. However, at the same time paradoxical communication can also be used to jolt someone out of his current mindset. An interesting subject for another post.

I have a question: is there such a thing as stamina when it comes to writing? And, is it likely to increase if I stick at it? I seem to go through bursts of creativity and then nothing for days. I find I am switching off a little when plot issues that need to be ironed out require some rewriting and often only really have the the passion to write the "new stuff" even when I know that will itself be flawed and need to be revisited. I am starting to wonder if I should discipline myself to do so many hours of the "ironing out" per day. Is this something that eases with time or you become more efficient at? I think I can deal with the notion of working on a long piece being a case of: three steps forward and two back but as I get further into my project I am starting to feel that the housekeeping aspect of going back and rewriting might be growing exponentially to the point it will stall the new stuff completely. When I have hit this stage before I have given up as I end up being dissatisfied with what came out in the creative burst when it's under closer inspection or I realize that something I really like has to be jettisoned because of how the plot or a character has later developed.

Throughout the '00s, Richard Thompson has periodically performed variations on a program he calls "1000 Years Of Popular Music," in which his acoustic trio reaches from the 13th-century British ballad "Summer Is Icumen In" to Britney Spears' "Oops!… I Did It Again." The shows have been bootlegged widely, and one set was given a quasi-official release three years ago through Thompson's website. Now 1000 Years Of Popular Music is available in something like a finished form, on a two-CD/one-DVD collection that captures a recent San Francisco performance. Thompson would probably admit that his concept is kind of cutesy, and maybe not as well-thought-out as it could be. Listening to the progression from minstrel tales like "King Henry" to courtly carols like "Remember O Thou Man" to music-hall rousers like "I Live In Trafalgar Square" to sleazy jitterbuggers like "Java Jive" and "Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee," it's easy to hear how the popular arts have become simultaneously coarser and more exciting. But the limited selection means that a lot of the story is missing, and while it's funny and kitschy to stick a song like "Oops" into the mix, it might've been more rewarding to find a song that's more listenable and more relevant. (Thompson hits the mark with his cover of Bowling For Soup's "1985," a song as descriptive in its way as the old coal-strike anthem "Blackleg Miner.") Still, whatever its failings as enlightening social history, 1000 Years Of Popular Music remains a Richard Thompson album, benefiting from his honeyed voice and crystalline guitar picking. When Thompson latches onto a tune as richly sorrowful as the 17th-century ballad "Bonnie St. Johnstone," he could almost be singing something he wrote himself, and when he rushes through The Easybeat's garage classic "Friday On My Mind," his gruff, archaic tone makes the song sound like it was written in a pub a century ago.

I've attached a checklist at the bottom of this page to help you think of everything you might need to purchase or do before you start the beginning of the school year. One tip I can give you is before you buy anything, take an inventory of everything in your classroom. One year I was unable to find out what was in my classroom before I placed my order, and I ended up ordering some things I really wouldn't have needed. Use the attached checklist to help get you started on things you will need for your classroom. You can check the items you already have off on the checklist to help you know what items you will need to purchase, and what items you already have. You may not want or need all of the items on the checklist, but they are all things I have found very useful in my classroom. Doing this important step will save you time and money! Also, ASK. Ask your school's Main Office if they give certain supplies to teachers. My school's main office always gave us a bag of supplies each year such as: whiteboard markers and erasers, paper clips, sticky notes, etc. Our school nurse always supplied us with a box of Band-Aids and some rubber gloves for small cuts and scrapes so that we didn't have to send our kids to her all of the time for minor things. Don't be afraid to ask! Sometimes it's intimidating as a new teacher to ask these things, but know that asking will save you money and time. Your school is there to help you! You can do it! Just ask! :) UPDATE (7-15-12) The Clutter Free Classroom has a checklist of things to buy for your classroom as well. You can download it for free by clicking here.

If sequestration starts Friday morning, what would that look like across the Southwest? The largest state in nation, California stands to lose $87.6 million in primary and secondary education funding — jeopardizing 1,210 teacher and aide jobs. Indian Health Service, tribal hospitals and clinics would be forced to cut 3,000 inpatient admissions and 800,000 outpatient visits annually. National Congress of American Indians President Jefferson Keel said, "It will affect whether or not a young mother may or may not be able to access health care for her unborn child, whether or not elderly people will be able to afford their medications or afford to go to the doctor. It will affect human lives all the way down to the community level." The state of New Mexico will be hit hard by sequestration. The state’s largest employer is Los Alamos National Laboratory, a federally funded nuclear research facility. With around 49,000 federal employees in the state, one economist says New Mexico has twice the national average. New Mexico stands to possibly lose 20,000 jobs in the next two years. In Texas, 52,000 civilian Department of Defense employees will be furloughed National park visitors brought in $30.1 billion to parks and nearby hotels and restaurants. As the parks gear up for their busiest time of the year, they prepare for sequestration — shorter seasons, closed campgrounds and hiking trails. They also face a cut in seasonal employees. "Many of them are returning seasonals that have extraordinary skills in firefighting and search and rescue and river running," says Jonathan Jarvis, National Park Service Director. Sequestration will also impact major gateway airports, and average wait times could increase by 30-50 percent. At the nation’s busiest airports, peak wait times could grow to more than four hours. Wait times along the border would increase as well. Kevin McAleenan, the Acting Assistant Commissioner for U.S. Customs, said “It would be about 2,750 officers cut, about 12.5 percent of our staff. The ports of entry would have significant impact on wait times and our ability to move people and things through the border."

I’m proud of our achievements. Having an industry-recognised ATA accreditation shows our customers that we have a high level of expertise. Denzil Evans and Iain Wallis, the Northampton-based division of cosmetic vehicle repair specialists Revive!, are celebrating becoming two of the most highly qualified technicians in their field after months of studying and examinations. The team, which specialises in repairing minor scuffs and scrapes to vehicle bodywork and alloy wheels, have achieved full ATA accreditation which means they have a very high level of expertise and industry knowledge and are amongst the top mobile smart repairers in the UK. Organised by the Institute of the Motor Industry, the accreditation involves a series of rigorous practical assessments and a knowledge test, all under strict examination conditions. Owner Denzil set up his Revive! business in 2009 while Iain joined in 2012. Both technicians strive to give their customers the highest quality of service. On-going training is a key aspect of this and they devoted a lot of their free time to preparing for the accreditation. “Any tradesperson who is serious about the quality of their work knows that there is always more to learn,” explains Denzil. “Developing our skills and keeping up with changes in the industry – such as new products and techniques is important to us. It gives customers the assurance that we’re at the top of our game and that they can trust us to carry out expert repairs of the highest quality. “I’m proud of our achievements. There are a lot of people out there carrying out cosmetic repairs without any qualifications or proper knowledge. Having an industry recognised ATA accreditation shows our customers that we have a high level of expertise and they can trust us to do a good job on their vehicle.” Revive! was established in the UK in 2004 and is now a leading provider of top quality mobile SMART repairs offering a professional, high quality service to local businesses with national support. Revive!’s customers include car dealerships, manufacturers and private motorists. Cosmetic repair is a top quality, cost effective and time saving alternative to taking the vehicle to a bodyshop for minor paintwork or alloy wheel repairs. Costing far less than the average insurance policy excess, the work is carried out at a time and place to suit the customer, minimising vehicle downtime and protecting the owner’s no-claims bonus. Although the franchise network has grown significantly over the last few years there are still opportunities to join the team and franchise territories are available in most areas of the country. Franchise Recruitment Manager, Mandy Sutch comments: “Denzil and Iain are a good example of the type of franchise owner that Revive! UK wishes to partner with. Technical excellence is one of our company values so we encourage and support all of our partners to gain their ATA in order to demonstrate how we differ from the ordinary SMART repairers out there. Hard work is a given if you want to be self-employed, but Revive! franchise owners need to be a cut above the rest so we only recruit people who fit with our values and are prepared to grow their business to multi-van level. We then provide a lot of support at all levels to ensure our franchise owners are successful.”

The local Canary Wharf shopping centre is having one of its regular children’s days, which results in the main area being given over to face painting, balloons and the like. Not a bad idea, and the shopping centre do have themed days quite often – although I am still waiting for the “English middle class male” evening to be offered. Anyhow, one of the stalls was handing out free candy floss and popcorn – and the smell permeated the area. While for most people, the smell will bring back childhood memories of funfairs and circuses, it doesn’t for me. Being brought up overseas, the English funfair was something I didn’t experience until I was a young adult – and for me it was something to be enjoyed on a Friday evening with friends after spending a few hours down the pub after work. Unfortunately, a sizeable quantity of beer, followed by fairground food and candy floss type snacks – followed by getting onto contraptions who have the sole function of spinning humans around in as many different angles and as fast as possible – tended to cause a not exactly surprising biological reaction in my stomach. Hence, for me the smell of candy floss is one which is more likely to have me running to the nearest toilet to be ill rather than smile and remember fond memories.

Baby Bobenich arrived on January 9th, 2015 and we made plans to do the shoot a week later. After reading everything I could find (books, blogs, articles..) on newborn shoots and watching countless youtube videos, I learned that the first 10 days are the best for these types of shoots. That way baby is a little less alert and sleepy. We set up the shoot in the master bedroom, with layers of towels and blankets on the bed, and a space heater on full blast (note to self, do not wear a sweater next time!) to keep baby nice and toasty. The shoot took longer than any I've done before (I expected this) and was also my favorite! Little Bailey was such a sweet baby and I could have taken her picture for days! We did a few different set ups and experimented a bit, and of course got a few with big sister Paige! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Enjoy!

If you’re running out of ideas for gifts, don’t worry. I’ve some good ones for last minute fitness gifts for the exerciser in your life. Or? For yourself! I won’t tell. This is genius! A way to have a ‘kettlebell’ using the softbells and adding on until you get the weight you want. Resistance Band Kit These kits are so perfect for travelers or for this time of year when you’re squeezing in exercise whenever you can. These microfiber towels are absolutely perfect for anyone who showers. I’m sure you know at least one. Now they can access classes all over the place instead of going to the same boring gym all the time. iPhone Arm Band I can’t stress enough how much I use my armband. Great gift for the walker/runner or even for someone who just listens to music or audiobooks. Next best thing to the arm band? The FlipBelt. It does NOT look like a fanny pack…I promise.

The belen usually had to be finished by December 16 or 17, depending on when the family began their nobena. The belen was often indoors, but some families erected their belen outside in the carport because the inside of the house was too small to accommodate the number of people attending the nobena. A typical Chamorro belen. With the Niño With the Niño Without the Niño Some people don't believe in placing the niño in the belen until Christmas day, since "Jesus isn't born yet." Others don't put out the statues of the three kings (Tres Reyes) until January 6, the traditional day of the Three Kings. A belen where the scene takes place in a cave (liyang) rather than a house. This family has collected a wide variety of belens, only some of which are seen here. Can you count how many separate sets are in this picture? While many families could not afford to buy many statues or build a town resembling Bethlehem, there was one thing we Chamorros always took pride in - the lumut. Lumut is the moss collected in dark, dank places with a lot of tree coverage and coral rocks. The lumut simulated the verdant grass covering the ground in and around the belen. The more lumut there was, the better. While in northern countries the smell of pine in the house announced the arrival of Christmas time, in the Marianas, the musty smell of lumut told everyone in the house that it was time for Christmas. THE ORIGIN OF THE BELEN The tradition is that Saint Francis of Assisi, while ministering as a deacon at Christmas Mass, was inspired to set up a replica of the nativity scene. From the Franciscan friars, the custom of setting up the nativity scene spread throughout the Catholic world. THE SPANISH BELEN In Spain, the belen can also be called the portal, the pesebre or the nacimiento. In many cases, the belen really does replicate the entire town of Bethlehem, with flowing water and moving animals. The belen is a BIG deal in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. They even form associations who are responsible for erecting the belen in a church or a town. People who are skilled at putting up a belen are called beleneros (belenera, for a woman). People who study the belen in a serious, academic way (belenismo) are called belenistas.

I get to talk to someone else at the Global Secular Council on Monday. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of talk needed. I want them to - apologize on Twitter for their rudeness to me on Twitter - unblock the people they’ve blocked for asking them questions about the GSC - answer questions about the GSC That’s all. I don’t see it as needing hours of conversation. They can just do it. They just can’t refuse to answer questions about their shiny new project. They’re not the Vatican, and they’re not the kind of organization that wants to model itself on the Vatican. They’re the kind of organization that prides itself on being transparent and accountable – that’s a secular value, as opposed to the theistic values of mystery and unquestionable authority. They advertise themselves, so that means they have to respond to questions about themselves. They want our support, so they have to explain themselves to us. It’s just part of the territory. But…I’m not sure they actually have that kind of mindset. Check out another picture that they use at the top of another page: We really really really don’t need any priestly imagery of Dawkins receiving the adulation of the multitudes decorating our new “Global” projects. We really really really don’t need to make a pope or monarch or hero out of Dawkins. Enough already.

As 2019’s spring quarter comes to a close, graduating UCI students are packing their bags and venturing off to parts unknown. Whether it’s finding work in their field of study, heading off to grad school, or taking a break at home to plan their next move, senior Anteater undergrads are dotting the final period on one chapter of their lives and flipping over to the next clean page. The players on UCI Esports League of Legends and Overwatch teams are no exception. After making semi-finals in the League of Legends College Championships, and placing top 16 in the National League of the Tespa Overwatch Collegiate Championships, the players at UCI Esports are putting an action-packed, nail-biting season behind them. A handful of our players are also finishing their studies and completing their bachelor’s degrees at UCI. We are extremely proud of our collegiate players and their performances, whether it be on the Rift, on the control point, or in the classroom. We want to thank the following players for their time with our program and congratulate them on an excellent season of gameplay and their stellar academic performance at UCI: From the League of Legends team: Lyubomir “BloodWater” Spasov (support; Business Economics major) Parsa “Frostalicious” Baghai (bot sub; Computer Science major) From the Overwatch team: Brendan “tildae” Alvarez (flex tank, Computer Science major) Isaac “IzakBirdie” Jimenez (main support, Education major) Patrick “Pat” Phan (flex support, Business Economics major) Sebastian “Selectt” Vasquez (flex support, Art major) Between the rush of sorting everything out for the spring 2019 quarter (including my own graduation!) and the busy lifestyles of the players, I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to interview a few of them before they finally leave the team. I interviewed BloodWater, tildae, and IzakBirdie and asked them questions about their experiences at school, both in and out of UCI Esports. ND: What has been the best part of being a college student on an esports team? tildae: I don’t know if I can say there’s any best part, cause they’re all pretty equally good — okay, I just said there’s no best part, but I was just about to say the part I liked the most! I think the part I do like the most, though, is meeting people with similar interests, because back home I didn’t know anybody that liked esports at all, or even knew about it, so now I come here and there’s a whole freakin’ program of like, people who wanna talk about esports and play in esports, and that’s awesome. So I think that’s my favorite part. I’ve found a lot of people with similar interests I never expected to find. IzakBirdie: I feel like the uniqueness, like how it’s something I get to say, something my family gets to share. I get to go out in the field, the special education field, or like, I’m also an RA (Resident Advisor) so whenever I get to share that, they’re like, “Wow, I’ve never heard of that, I never thought that existed.” “How can I get involved?” Something like that. Even high schoolers are like, “Woah, what is that,” and I have to say “Hold up, don’t throw your education away!” So that’s what I really enjoy about it, that it’s something I can talk about […] The UCI Esports program a very well-known name to it, with a positive atmosphere that rubs off the right way. Not just in the collegiate community, but in the gaming community as a whole, and also outside that. All the people involved with research, all the people who want to sponsor us, it’s a really cool image that I get to represent. BloodWater: For me, what has made my experience at UCI Esports so memorable is honestly the community. The people I’m surrounded by. The UCI Esports Arena, for me, this is gonna sound a little cliche, honestly, but it’s become like a second home. After I’m done with classes I come here, spend the rest of my time here, hang out with my friends here, my teammates, you know. So honestly it’s just a place, a community that I feel really comfortable in, and I’m really grateful to be a part of it. ND: In general, what has been your favorite moment in your collegiate career? T: Hmm. There’s a lot of moments. I think I would say going to Arizona for the Tespa championship last year, that was really fun. Like, nobody thinks “I wanna go to Arizona,” right? But that was the first time I’ve traveled out of state, and it was really fun, all the stuff they had us do. Like, I felt like a ‘pro gamer,’ even though we’re just collegiate. The way they treated us, the events they had us do with some other charities, the media exposure was fun… Even though we didn’t win overall, the experience was very positive, and so I had a lot of fun with that. IB: I make friends here and there, so I have some friends in other schools […] through my experience as peaking as a top player, that helped me become well-known for my personality and my behavior. Not only amongst my team but to the Overwatch community as well, to some extent. Like, when I go into games, they say, “Oh, I know you’re on a collegiate team.” They recognize who you are. Even though we didn’t make it to finals, they recognize, “I know who Izakbirdie is, because of the rank, level of play, and the positivity.” What I do a lot is defuse toxicity, or high intense situations, and I feel like not only was that shown a lot in the team, but also in the community. I really liked working with my team and being like how the coaches pushed me into being in the management role, and that spilled over into outside of the game. And that’s what I enjoy most about, kind of keeping track of management, like tracking ultimates for instance in the game, and then keeping track of each other outside the game, making friends and talking to each other. It was something I really enjoyed. And then also peaking Top 500 [on the Overwatch ranked ladder.] Like, as soon as we lost, I did not want my Overwatch career to peak, so I played rank for really long the same day we lost, and I reached my overall peak of all time, with Orisa, a hero that’s not really well-known. BW: So the first one that comes to mind is winning Nationals last year. That was the highlight for the competitive aspect of the UCI Esports program in general, and for the League of Legends team. We were the first team in the program to secure a national title, and that’s just big. And this year we’re gonna be defending that title… [Author’s note: this interview was conducted before League Collegiate Championship finals.] ND: What are you going to take away from your college experience? T: So the things I learned, were, apply yourself and put yourself out there, cause I was kind of a shut-in… Kind of. I was social, but I always preferred to stay home and play games all day, but then I put myself out to the Blizzard club team, and then I put myself out to this program, and that has been like, the biggest change in my life. […] What else did I learn…? I learned that sleep is really important! I don’t know what it was, but I had really poor sleeping habits the first three years, and then this year, I was like, “alright, no matter what, I’m getting eight hours of sleep.” And that has been amazing. I feel good every day now. That’s probably also because of the exercise, which I like, but eight hours of sleep, guaranteed, no matter how much I wanna stay up and play games, I just get that eight hours, and it’s so nice. I feel so much better. IB: Something I always take away from the program is that I’m representative of the program. That moment where I played in the program is something I will leave behind for others. I came onto the team wanting to leave an impact not only on a gaming level, but on the people. And that’s what I’m going to take away, that next year things will improve because of my feedback, my skill, my everything. Because I wanna give back to other people, that’s why I’m an RA too, and it ties into stuff like that. That’s what my goals in the future are in relation to esports and everything. BW: Being a part of this program for three years, I came in lacking a lot of skills, especially a lot of social skills. […] So some of the things that I’ve been able to gain from my college experience and the experience as a collegiate player, is just like, being able to manage my time better, being more open minded to a lot of things I wouldn’t normally do, being a more adeptly social creature overall. […] Looking at myself now, I can see that I’ve grown so much in so many ways. If I didn’t choose to go to this university, I’m not so sure a lot of those things would’ve happened, because my other option was going to Cal Poly (Pomona) and I’m not sure that I would’ve found the same community there that I had here. They do have a League of Legends team, but it’s just a club, and I probably would’ve been part of the club, but I wouldn’t have been exposed to so many of the different things that I’ve had here. ND: Are there any highlights from a particular game or set that you’re proud of? T: Not really. Cause like, to be honest like, the highlights have never been a big part of me. I think uh, in terms of how I play, I don’t think I’m bursty and have a lot of highlights. I’m more like consistent, but obviously if there’s a line I’m staying at it and not going above and beyond. I think that’s an accurate assessment of my gameplay. Uh, I will say though, there was a game where I Pulse Bombed myself a few times… like, one game it happened two or three times, and all of them managed to be caught on stream… So there was one time that someone was near the wall, and I Pulse Bombed them and it hit the wall, so I immediately Recalled, cause that’s usually the safe thing, but I ended up right there. So I Pulse Bombed myself! And another time, the map was Oasis, someone was on the stairs and I Pulse Bombed, I stuck them, but they ran right into me and somehow they didn’t die and I died. And the cameraman, I don’t know if they knew me, but they immediately turned to my body, and just zoomed in on it! That’s been like a meme, that’s been following me this whole time, so obviously it’s slightly embarrassing, but it’s also really funny that everyone, including people in the collegiate community that aren’t from UCI, always meme me about it. IB: We got broadcasted a lot on our very first year of Overwatch, and I used to just love messing around and trolling. Not in a negative way, but I remember we were playing against Berkeley, and I didn’t know the camera was on me, and I made a very unique play where I blocked someone and they couldn’t get out, and I teabagged them, because before you could crouch really fast. Not like for BM [bad manners] right? But just a funny thing! Especially for my team, in those high intensity situations, I like being the comic relief. Even in our final match, one of my teammates got hooked, and when you get hooked that’s a big thing. Like, you’re basically dead, and you have to reset, and the whole team has to back up, but like, he got hooked and he didn’t die, and I was like, “Damn, that person’s so bad! You’re so good!” Really hyping them up. BW: So, one of my favorite moments that happened in my own gameplay, would be, something that happened in the semi finals in Nationals last year. In one of our games, the enemy team was picking really unorthodox picks, stuff we weren’t used to playing against or seeing. And the first game caught us off guard- we actually lost the first game, but it was a best of three. The second game, we were able to match their pace and picks. It kind of felt like solo queuing, but in that game, I was able to just move in an interesting way, in a way that I haven’t moved my character in a long time since I was a pro pro player, playing fifteen hours a day. So, to me that was really inspirational, that I could play like that again, that well. I was caught by three people, and it was just me, and I was juking all of their abilities and skillshots, and then my team just comes in clutch after ten seconds to save me. It was the perfect bait, I didn’t die either. Oh my God, it was so magnificent! I felt so good after that. It was a good moment for me, because it reminds me that I can still be really good at this game if I put in the time for it. So that’s a really good reminder to have. ND: What are your plans for the future, either in your chosen field, esports, or both? T: Obviously CS can work in game dev, but I don’t wanna do regular coding, I guess. I wanna code games, not apps and stuff. Just because I like the mechanics of games, one of my favorite parts of games, and honestly gaming is the one passion I’ve always had. I’ve never not had it, so I can’t imagine — I don’t like doing stuff I don’t wanna do, I’m very direct about it, so if I’m like “I don’t wanna do this,” then I’m gonna stand my ground and not gonna do it. So, I already know if I try doing a job that I don’t wanna do, I’m not gonna enjoy myself and it’s gonna suck. So I wanna make sure that I do something that I wanna do, which is either esports or video games. IB: […] UCI does a lot of stuff with high school, right? And the program that puts on the collegiate Overwatch, Tespa, I’m really gearing towards trying to work with them. I have an interview with them soon so I’m hoping that all goes well, but I really wanna push myself, because I enjoy esports and gaming, and as a teacher I feel like there’s an opportunity to do that, like start a club and help my students. But I feel like now I have options, because as an Education major I want to be a teacher because I want to help out and give back, but I also started to lean into, “Now there’s a way I can help out through gaming.” BW: I am a business economics major, but that’s not where my passion lies at the moment. I think I’m a lot more suited for hands-on things, that involve me handling equipment and things like that. I am considering going into IT, and then transitioning from the IT world into some kind of block-based programming. HVAC controllers and stuff like that, onsite stuff. […] Overall I’m pretty open to doing a lot of different things because I’ve gained so much insider knowledge of the esports industry over the past several years. I have so much experience as a player, as well as support staff and event planning, and I wouldn’t be opposed to transitioning to a role within the esports industry.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Mark Reynolds' representative met with the D-backs face-to-face on Friday, but there is still no resolution to his contract extension talks. "I guess the meeting was positive," Reynolds said before the D-backs took on the Giants on Saturday. "Still a work in progress." Reynolds on Friday expressed frustration with the pace of the talks, calling them a "distraction." "It's kind of annoying," he said at the time. "I've got my teammates asking me about it, I have [the media] obviously, I know you're doing your job, which is great, but the sooner the better for me. It's something to the point where I don't want to come in after every game and check my phone or have meeting after meeting and take time away from my family. I'm certainly hoping that we come to some kind of agreement, but I'm 100 percent fine if it doesn't happen. I'll play this year and see what happens next year." Reynolds hit 44 homers last year and drove in 102 runs while hitting .260 and improving his defense at third base. He also set a Major League record for strikeouts with 223, surpassing his own record from the year before when he fanned 208 times. Reynolds, 26, just missed qualifying for salary arbitration as a "Super Two" player this year. That means the club still has the right to set his salary for 2010. After that, he has three years of arbitration eligibility. As such, the D-backs can set his salary for 2010 and he said they renewed his contract for $500,000 while they continue to negotiate on a two-year deal that would cover 2011 and 2012. "We're just trying to get it done," Reynolds said. "I don't know if we're any closer than we were a week ago." Steve Gilbert is a reporter for MLB.com.

One of the most common discussion topics with our customers is how they can most effectively manage the timing of an AR Automation project when they know that their business will be changing, upgrading, or consolidating its ERP (enterprise resource planning system). Often, finance, treasury, and AR leaders are surprised to learn that implementing an AR Automation solution before your ERP change can help make the switch easier on your business. In fact, this approach can alleviate one of a CFO’s most common concerns about an ERP change—the impact on revenue recognition. Why automate your AR first? Nothing is more important for a business than having healthy cash flow, being easy for your customers to work with, and empowering employees to work intelligently. Automating your AR first ensures these critical factors are buttoned up before taking on the complexity of an ERP change. Your business can immediately start reaping benefits such as operational efficiency, per-payment processing cost-savings, team scalability, cash forecasting accuracy, and customer experience improvements. Your IT resources are precious – use them wisely. Implementing an AR Automation like DadePay prior to an ERP change reduces the amount of work that IT must do when you make the ERP move. When a business does not have an AR Automation solution in place and is still using a lockbox with keying, for example, a separate project is needed to deal with this when an ERP change is made. A bit of IT time spent on an AR Automation solution implementation beforehand saves time later. From experience, we know that it takes less than 20 hours for IT to make any changes required to the interface between your ERP and the DadePay solution. What does an AR Automation solution implementation entail? When businesses implement the DadePay AR Automation solution, the project has three primary components: - Capturing incoming payments—the ways the solution will interface with lockboxes or bank reports and be enabled to capture any payments coming into office locations or from the field. - Getting AR from the ERP and posting payments back to it – this ensures the ERP remains up to date and the central source of truth. - Configuring the DadePay solution to reflect business rules– key to making sure that the way the business validates payments is appropriately supported by DadePay. When a business makes changes to its ERP(s), only one of the above components needs to change. DadeSystems has helped many businesses successfully navigate upgrades or migrations (from Infor to SAP S4 Hana, SAP to Workday, and Workday to NetSuite, to name a few). These updates are low risk and easy. The Accounts Receivable process itself typically does not change when ERP changes are made. Therefore, the benefit of having an AR Automation solution in place beforehand is that the AR team does not require training on a new process: DadePay was used to apply cash on ERP System A and is still used to apply cash on ERP System B. With this illustration, you can see how having an AR Automation solution in place makes the transition to a new ERP easier. Additionally, payment history will live in the AR Automation solution, making it easy for your team to research information throughout and after the ERP change. What if the AR Automation solution we implemented doesn’t work with our new ERP? It’s important to choose a solution that is flexible to accommodate your business systems and banking relationships—however they may change in the future. DadePay interfaces with any ERP. When we do encounter ERP systems we haven’t worked with previously, we take on the responsibility of creating the integration for future re-use with other customers. Recommendations for successfully managing an AR Automation project prior to an ERP change: - Implement your AR Automation solution now. Start reaping the benefits of faster, more accurate cash application, an improved customer payment experience, and reduced write-offs, collections, and DSO. - Lock down your improved AR process and business rules. Allow your team time to be trained on the new solution. - Make your ERP change/upgrade worry-free. AR, credit, and collections teams will already be performing their daily functions in the AR Automation solution and can continue to so without disruption to your operations or customer processes. Your business will also have payment history in the AR Automation solution, enabling staff to research payments in one familiar system instead of two ERP systems (one completely new to them). The bottom line. Implementing an AR Automation solution ahead of an ERP change enables your business to immediately start reaping benefits such as operational efficiency, per-payment processing cost-savings, team scalability, cash forecasting accuracy, and customer experience improvements. When your ERP migration does occur, the time involved with making changes to the interface between it and the AR Automation solution is minimal and low risk. Additionally, your AR team will already be trained on their new AR process, ensuring continuity in what will be a time of significant change for the business otherwise. Revenue—the lifeblood of your business—flows through Accounts Receivable. If you can go through an ERP migration without disturbing the process of applying cash and recognizing revenue, that’s a win for the C-Suite and AR.

Ruth Padel stepped down from her recent appointment as Oxford University's chair in poetry yesterday, after admitting she was behind the anonymous allegations of sexual impropriety against Derek Walcott, her main competitor for the post. The admission that she sent e-mail messages to reporters is, according to the New York Times, "a stunning turn in a saga of skullduggery that had opened a bitter schism in Britain’s literary world." Read the full article here. In this article for The Telegraph, Michael Deacon laments this defeat of poetry by "gossip," citing the impropriety of a number of famous poets: Dylan Thomas' alcholism, T.S. Eliot's possible racism, Philip Larkin's love of pornography, Poe's 13-year-old wife, etc. etc. He goes on to say, "All of these men, our anonymous epistolary guardians might grudgingly concede, knew a thing or two about putting words together, chopping them into lines and all that carry-on. But not one of them, were they alive today, could hope to land the Oxford post; they just don’t meet the exacting moral standards set by people who conduct smear campaigns." Yikes. A writer's art should speak for itself, of course. But shouldn't a teacher be held accountable for his behavior toward students?

TSA Approved Luggage Combination Lock by Alaska Bear the superb zinc alloy combination lock makes the Alaska Bear TSA Lock the most secure and strong lock available. We don’t trade off on security by outlining a shackle that is inclined to being effectively cut. Also, the additional solid metal shackle keeps the lock from splitting and stays tough even in intense weather and travel. By putting resources into a lock that you can depend on, you can make your trip a breeze. ~ TSA will recognize the diamond on the lock and use their special tool to open the lock for inspection. ~ Go through the inspection process quickly and easily. ~ Red Pole Open Alert: A red pole will rise above the surface of the lock to notify you that a TSA member has used his special tool to open the lock. The pole will return to its original spot when you set it to your private combination. ~ Set-Your-Own Combination ~ 3-Digit Combination ~ Heavy Duty Lock With a Sturdy Shackle: Zinc-infused die-cast metal shackle provides the maximum security and protection. Great quality lock for your luggage. It does not feel cheap nor has a lot of play when the lock is locked. One of my favorite features is the TSA tampering detection, which notifies you when TSA went through your Luggage. The size is perfect for any size luggage you may have. If you are checking in your bag you should know it need to be lock and this product those the job. You never know when your plane might get delayed or your luggage put on another flight, giving the chance to someone to open up your bags without you even knowing. Great theft prevention. The Lock was provided by Alaska Bear in order to facilitate my review, I was not compensated. This review is Desafio In The City honest opinion about this product.

For months and months, I have been reading praise of Nier: Automata across Reddit and Steam forums with extreme skepticism. How good could this game be, really? So when the game finally hit 50% off on Steam recently, I bought it with an implicit goal of “getting the facts straight.” Based on 5 hours thus far, I can safely conclude this: it’s pretty damn good. It’s still extremely early, but part of that goodness is wrapped up in how incredibly bold the game is in its own style. The starting section of the game is you piloting a ship like in an old-school, top-down shooter, including dodging slow-moving energy spheres. Then your ship “goes mobile” and things turn into a twin-stick shooter. Then you finally dismount and start attacking enemies in a 3rd-person action game ala Devil May Cry. But then there is a section where you’re running along a metal walkway, and the camera pulls out so you can face enemies in a side-scrolling style. Minutes later, there’s another section where you do the same thing with the camera directly overhead. Any particular one of these camera tricks would be a gimmick. But, somehow, doing all of them… works. The expectation is now set that the game style will change to fit the scenario, and I’m either on board with it or I can leave. The game feels… confident, in an unapologetic JRPG kind of way. The unapologetic-ness is really a reoccurring theme, actually. I checked out the forums before I started playing, because I had heard that the game is non-functional without the fan-created FAR mod, which fixes framerate issues. For the record, the game runs perfectly fine for me out of the box. One of the threads mentioned the fact that if you die in the hour-long opening sequence of the game… you have to redo the entire thing all over again. There are no checkpoints, there are no quick saves. As someone who has been playing Dark Souls-esque games lately, this is familiar territory. That said, by default 2B is equipped with a “plug-in chip” that will automatically consume a potion when damaged below 30% HP, and enemies certainly don’t one-shot you as they can in other games, so it’s not too punishing. Plus, if you change the Difficulty to Easy, you can equip additional chips that will even automatically Dodge attacks for you. I’m actually not quite sure how that works, as I’m playing on Normal, but at least there’s an option. One thing I did want to mention in this initial post too was the music. Wow. I just got to the second area and there is already music with actual lyrics just playing casually. Running around the ruined city nearby produced a track that heavily reminded me of Xenogears. Which, by the way, was probably the moment I felt myself just relax and settle into my chair, in a sort of metaphysical way. Plus, you can fish. Androids fishing up mechanical fish in a post-apocalyptic Earth, to sell for cash to buy healing potions. Because Japan. It’s great. So count me converted on Nier: Automata already. I’m in it for the long run.
