The tale of the author’s discovery of a compelling “minor poet” in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In the early 1990s, novelist Towler (Writing/Southern New Hampshire Univ.; Island Light, 2010, etc.) moved to Portsmouth, where her husband had taken a position as a psychologist. At first, she was surprised to find herself in a place whose conservative politics felt alien to her and where unannounced visits by neighbors were a common occurrence. Having moved 20 times along the East Coast, with “a vaguely articulated notion that staying in one place too long” would undermine her ability to gather observations for her first novel, she worried about settling down. In Portsmouth, though, the author found inspiration for several novels and, now, a closely observed memoir of her ultimately inscrutable friendship with Robert Dunn, whose aspirations to be a “minor poet” were as intense as Towler’s desire to become a major novelist. “Minor poets have more fun,” Dunn declared. “There is no joy in the struggle for recognition, for money and fame and all they entail,” the author came to realize, “but there is a joy in the thing itself, the making of the poems.” Despite Dunn’s overt satisfaction with his life, Towler often imagined negativity for which there seemed to be no evidence. Celebrated as the poet laureate of Portsmouth, Dunn was pleased to offer readings and appear at events, a response that surprises Towler. She imagined that he found meetings of the Poet Laureate Program dull and tedious, when in fact, he seemed to enjoy them. She imagined that he was annoyed at her “frantic anxiety” over her “craving for recognition,” seeing in his eyes “a hint of accusation” that he did not articulate. As Dunn aged and was beset by illness, he came to rely on Towler for errands and support, a dependency that often puzzled her and is likely to puzzle readers. A gently told memoir of an elusive poet and a mysterious friendship.

03 Aug 2017 Tips For Feet Fitness: A Simple Exercise for Healthy and Pain-Free Feet Ways in which we use our feet may cause annoying ankle and foot problems hence leading to other pains, injuries, and aches. If an acute injury has come by, it is recommended as a precaution you consult an orthopaedic specialist, your physician, and a podiatrist before you do anything. I will illustrate simple points on undertaking ankle and foot exercises that may help you improve both flexibility and strength making you have healthy feet! The following tips will help you to stretch the calves effectively to keep them together with the heels more comfortable as well as strengthening the feet’s soles to eliminate or at least reduce foot cramps keeping your arches lifted. Pointing and flexing practice is done in any angle and in any position, lying down, seated and with one or both legs at the same time. You can do the Point and Flex exercise while seated. - Take an L-Seating position. For those with hips hence hamstrings become tight, may sit up on a box in order to achieve a taller back position. They may as well sit on a box with their back supported by a wall. - Keep your legs straight, but don’t lock them together, then reach for both heels away from your body to hinge or “Flex” the ankles. Try your best not to pull the toes back to flex the foot. Let the toes remain relaxed and lead from the heel to hinge the foot into the flexed position. - When you achieve your best flexed foot position, hold and breathe. Repeat this for 3 to 5 breaths and check whether you can reach farther out on the heel to deepen the flex on every breath out. If so you can achieves a better stretch. - For changeover to the pointed position, start by shifting to hinge from the ankle the foot in the other direction the furthest possible. - When you reach the endpoint of the ankle, apply the muscles beneath the sole of the foot to point the toes. Breathe in to continue prolong out through the foot’s top, breath out to compound the contraction under the foot’s sole to extend pointing the toes. Repeat this for 3 to 5 breaths. Free the toes, and starting reaching out through the heel to hinge the ankle into the flexed position and repeat the exercise. Repeat to alternate the point and the flex for 5 to 10 times. All the best!

Graphics card is definitely the most important component when you want to play the games on high or ultra settings. With a powerful CPU only you cannot expect to play at 60fps maxed out but if you are willing to pay $100-$200 for a decent graphics cards like listed below, then you are most likely to end up at least 2 years playing on at least high settings. Some graphics cards for under $200 can max out almost any game at 1080p and this is also the sweet spot for many gamers. These graphics cards are mid ranged cards which are meant for 1080p 60fps or at least 40+ fps when you bump the settings to ultra. For a build that comes under $500 or $600, these graphics cards are the best choice and are best matched with Intel Core i5 processors or AMD fx 8000 series processors. Many of these graphics cards are newly released and are fully DirectX 12 compatible so you won’t be regretting your choice if you buy anyone of the listed below. EVGA Geforce Gtx 1050 ti SC 4Gb When you want to play the games at 1080p ultra settings, you can not compromise with the Vram. It’s a fact that all the latest games like GTA V, the Witcher 3, Rise of the tomb raider etc. use more VRAM than simple games like CSGO or Overwatch. It makes more sense to go with a 4gb card if you don’t want to compromise with the graphics quality. The gtx 1050 ti is the successor of gtx 1050 and is 20% faster. I have not included the gtx 1050 cause it only has 2gb of VRAM whereas most of the games require 3gb or more. This card is based on the Pascal architecture which is very much power efficient and doesn’t require a 6 pin or 8 pin power connector. It’s a very good card for the price you pay as it’s an intermediate between gtx 1050 and Rx 470. Although Rx 470 is much faster I feel that Nvidia has filled in the gap between the $110 and $170 price range by introducing a $130 card. The EVGA SC edition is completely identical to the EVGA gtx 1050 and can be fit into any case. So for compact gaming PC’s these two are very good choices and will be best for budget gaming builds with a small mini Itx case. As this is factory overclocked, you will get a small boost in performance as compared to the other brands like Zotac. |Core Clock||1354MHz/1468MHz boost clock| GOOD For 1080p High Settings ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 570 4GB The best card for 1080p under $200 from AMD which can play any game on ultra and max out everything without breaking a sweat is again the new RX series graphics card RX 570 which is available in 4gb and 8gb version and is a little bit faster than the RX 470. The 4gb version is available for $200 right now and I was able to find the ASUS one only as this card isn’t enough in stock. This card is a sweet spot for 1080p gamers and is already a huge success. The 4gb version is all you need to bump up the settings to ultra. The 8gb version is around $240 which is equal to the price of RX 580 4gb. Which makes it a bad choice for the money. 8gb is an overkill and you won’t need that much for 1080p. Talking about its specs, it is a 256-bit card that runs on a 8 pin power connector and has CrossfireX support. If you want to compare this card to any of the previous generations you can say it fills the gap between an R9 380X and R9 390. It can play a game at 60fps maxed out settings and performs best when equipped with an Intel Core i3 7100, i5 7500 or Ryzen 5 1400 if you want the best value for the dollars spent. If you want to make your PC future proof for 1080p as well as 1440p then this card is the way to go as it will help you achieve good frame rates when you put two of these together for higher resolutions. Specs and Features:- - Polaris architecture - 4 GB 256-bit GDDR5 Video Memory - 1310 boost clock - 2048 Stream processors - 2xDVI, 1xDP, 1xHDMI - VR ready GOOD For 1080p Ultra Settings OK For Virtual Reality Zotac Gtx 1060 mini 3gb gddr5 The latest 1000 series graphics card from Nvidia is the gtx 1060. This is the mini edition and has 3gb of gddr5 memory and is similar to the 1060 6gb edition. While the Rx 480 matches the performance of gtx 970, this one is near to the gtx 980 but as the Cuda cores and memory are cut out, it will perform slightly better than the gtx 970 and a little slower than the 980. 3gb of memory is enough for maxing out most of the settings at 1080p like details and shadows but textures in some games like middle earth shadow of Mordor requires 6gb. So you can’t max out that setting. The core clocks are also massive. It easily reaches over 1800Mhz in games and provides an extra boost. This one is shorter and can fit into any case, be it a mini itx case or a mid tower case. The heatsink is very basic just like the older generation and has one 90mm fan just above it. The card has 6 pin power port and requires less power as compared to the previous generation cards. As the price of this card is just $200, It won’t be a good choice to go either for the gtx 960 or the R9 380X. Check out the $600 gaming build. Specs and Features:- - Powered by NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture - 3 GB 192-bit GDDR5 Video Memory - Cuda cores: 1152 - Virtual Reality Ready - 1x Dual-link DVI-I, 3x DisplayPort (version 1.4), 1x HDMI (2.0b) - Engine Clock: Base- 1506 MHz, Boost: 1708 MHz - Extended warranty included with every graphics card purchase, User registration required on ZOTAC website.

Doucet struggled with drops and lost playing time last season, after all. Those were negatives, but the bigger picture looks upon his Cardinals tenure more favorably. 2012 Cardinals Playing Time: WRs Consider that Doucet's departure from the Cardinals leaves NFC West teams with four players from the 28 they selected in their 2008 NFL draft classes. Chris Long (St. Louis), Calais Campbell (Arizona), Red Bryant (Seattle) and Larry Grant (San Francisco) comprise that short list. Grant played three seasons with St. Louis before re-signing with San Francisco. That places Doucet on a shorter list of 2008 picks lasting five years with the teams that drafted them. NFC West teams drafted Long, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Lawrence Jackson, Kentwan Balmer, Donnie Avery, John Carlson, Chilo Rachal, Campbell, John Greco and Reggie Smith before the Cardinals selected Doucet. Doucet never became a regular starter, but Fitzgerald and Boldin were well-established as franchise cornerstones when he arrived. And after Arizona traded Boldin in 2010, the team used a third-round choice for Andre Roberts. Doucet was scheduled to earn $2 million in salary and workout bonus in 2013. He is 27 years old and could help a team as a slot receiver, in my view. Doucet has 1,213 yards receiving from the slot since 2008, third on the Cardinals behind Boldin (1,352) and Fitzgerald (1,221) over that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He also has 14 drops on those plays, matching the total for Boldin (eight) and Fitzgerald (six).

Up in the Lake District again for Christmas and probably New Year – the “probably” being that if the weather doesn’t improve London may have more appeal. I certainly don’t need reminding that the trip is about Christmas, but I’d arrived in one storm and another was forecast to follow, so I was despairing of getting any decent pictures. I don’t think it stopped raining on Sunday, only for a while on Monday, and it not at all on Christmas Eve, so the road to Keswick had one patch of flooding that made me turn back and take the long way round over the Honister Pass and down the Newlands Valley. Today the second storm arrived and the weather has been both atrocious and exhilarating as it proved John’s first law of landscape photography – when you wake up and can hear the weather outside, it’s probably not going to be your day. But Christmas Day itself was dry, and so was much of yesterday when I took this picture. Calling it Christmas in the Lake(s) is unusual for me – I don’t like naming pictures. Clever titles may well amuse, or convey some profound meaning or ironic twist, yet don’t they readily appear corny or trite? Even worse, in my opinion, is how a title provides the viewer with an explanation or interpretation. Surely they should be left to develop their own understanding and interpretation of the photograph. So this picture would normally be named Derwentwater or something similarly po-faced. If I wanted to be truly pretentious I’d perhaps add some Roman numerals and call it Lodore Study II. But Christmas in the Lake(s) seems to fit this one – interpret that how you will! While thinking names, “Seriously Bad Elf” must win John’s award for the best seasonal ale this year. And 9% too. It would be too rude not to try it, don’t you think? Happy Christmas!

Lookup NU author(s): Dr Li Chen, Emeritus Professor Rolando Carrasco, Dr Martin Johnston, Dr Graeme Chester Full text for this publication is not currently held within this repository. Alternative links are provided below where available. The list decoding algorithm can outperform the conventional unique decoding algorithm by producing a list of candidate decoded messages. An efficient list decoding algorithm for Algebraic-Geometric (AG) codes and Reed-Solomon (RS) codes has been developed by Guruswami and Sudan, called the Guruswami-Sudan (GS) algorithm. The algorithm includes two steps: Interpolation and Factorisation. To implement interpolation, Koetter proposed an iterative polynomial construction algorithm for RS codes. By redefining a polynomial over algebraic function fields, Koetter’s algorithm can also be applied to AG codes. To implement factorisation, Roth and Ruckenstein proposed an efficient algorithm for RS codes and later Wu and Siegel extended it to AG codes. Following on from their previous work, we propose a more general factorisation algorithm which can be applied to both AG and RS codes. This algorithm avoids rational function quotient calculations required by Wu and Siegel’s algorithm, making it more efficient to implement. As well as employing this algorithm to list decode AG and RS codes this paper also presents the first simulation results evaluating the list decoding performance comparison between AG and RS codes of a similar code rate defined over the same finite field.

Passengers on Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas and Carnival's Victory experienced sharp, sudden tiltings on recent voyages. In Radiance's case, the culprit for the sudden seven degree list on Wednesday, February 19, was a sea squall that passed over the ship as it was traveling toward St. Lucia one morning. The squall included wind gusts of 65 knots, coming from the port side, which then knocked the ship on its starboard side. It stabilized immediately though provided a most unusual wake-up call for some passengers and resulted in damages that mostly concerned glass breakage. In a nice touch, Radiance's captain not only immediately broadcast an announcement over the squawk-box from the bridge -- he also had the ship's television crew interview him on camera. The segment, which aired shipwide later that day, featured his in-depth insights on aero- and aqua-dynamics. Carnival's Victory also had a little excitement. On Monday, February 10, one of its stabilizer fins malfunctioned, causing a five degree roll. No damage or injuries were reported and the problem, according to a Carnival spokeswoman, has been fixed. In the interest of perspective, while seven - and five-degree rolls are dramatic on cruise ships, they are nowhere near any kind of danger zone. "In a manner of speaking," says Carnival's Jennifer de la Cruz, "listing goes on constantly. You just don't usually notice it." According to Carnival Victory's captain: "the righting lever is the force that will upright the ship if any external force will list the ship on either side. Looking at the curve you can see that the ship has a positive righting lever up to 48 degrees. This means that up to 48 degrees the ship will still have the force to upright herself." These numbers were taken from Carnival Victory's five degree list; the numbers vary based on numerous factors. Worst case scenario? A ship lying on its side would occur at 90 degrees.

A fire in Allentown Wednesday has led to the arrest of a man who ran back inside the burning building. Police responded to help fire officials with a fire at 436 Chestnut Street around 6:20 p.m. Crews told police that a man who had been in the house ran back inside as the second floor of the home was on fire. Police said power lines had fallen on the home. As the man, identified as 21-year-old Marquis Harris, reappeared in the doorway of the home, police tried to physically remove him. Officers said as they struggled with Harris, he spit on them. During a search, police found a white substance consistent with cocaine, in Harris' possession. He was arrested on charges of resisting arrest, possession of cocaine and disorderly conduct. Harris had no current address. He is at the Lehigh County Prison on $5,000 bail.

Tim Horton, NSW architects registrar and director of the Sydney Architecture Festival, says, “2018 is a supernova for milestones in Australian architecture. With major anniversaries for the Sydney Opera House and Australia’s Parliament House coinciding with plans for their future, the 12th Sydney Architecture Festival looks at our opportunity to preserve, protect and renew the enduring legacy of these modern monuments for future generations.” The festival presents a program of talks, tours and exhibits and is bookended by the Architecture symposium on Friday 28 September and World Architecture Day on Monday 1 October. Full program details and the internationally renowned orator for World Architecture Day will follow soon. Friday 28 September- Mon 1 October Sydney Opera House To book tickets, visit website Days of Note - Turn your idea into a reality Days of Note is a series of workshops and events designed to give Australians the tools and knowledge to upskill or turn an idea or project into reality. In partnership with General Assembly, Samsung is giving Australians access to a selection of complimentary, short courses designed to help unleash their side hustle, ideas or passion projects. The workshops will feature over 60 individual points of interest across a month-long program, which has been designed to empower people with the information, resources, and space they need to transform their ideas into reality. The program’s bespoke workshops will run twice daily in a Samsung designed space within the WeWork in Sydney’s Pyrmont. The sessions will cover ‘Success in the digital age’, ‘Design thinking 101’, ‘From problem to prototype’, ‘How to win at UX’, ‘Content marketing workout’, and ‘Introduction to coding’. These classes will also be available online. Registration for courses is open now. Participants will be invited to 3 keynote speaker and panel events hosted by leading entrepreneurs like Ronnie Kahn, Founder & CEO at OzHarvest, and Adam Jacobs, Co-founder and Managing Director of The Iconic, as they cover how to launch a side hustle, productivity hacks and tips for scaling, and growing a business. Every day, 9am to 8pm until Thursday 4 October 100 Harris St, Pyrmont Free - book tickets via website James McGrath: The Flooded Library - New paintings In this exhibition of birds against paper and in ancient libraries, the artist uses the images of flooding books as a metaphor for knowledge in the digital age as well as hinting at the issues of climate change that threaten historical objects. For James it is more aesthetic. He says “formally the organic curve of the heron’s neck and body is a wonderful juxtaposition to the grid of the books”. How did his passion for books and libraries begin? He recounts “in an age dominated by ebooks and digital information I felt is important to find the origin of text, the book and the library. In 2010 I was granted special access to the Strahov monastic library in Prague. Centuries old, the books in the collection are hand bound in leather and preserved by rubbing layers of chalk and lime. The effect is the one of shelves of bone white cracked parchment which looks like ghost like apparitions of their origin.” He writes “after spending days on my own, I felt by a transient being amongst fixed knowledge that was almost palpable.” Perhaps James McGrath’s message is simple, we must all get back loving books and libraries again. That simple, that hard. Until Sunday 7 October 63 Jersey Rd, Woollahra Real Bodies - A stunning display of real, perfectly preserved human bodies and anatomical specimens Seen by millions worldwide, Real Bodies presents a stunning display of more than 20 real, perfectly preserved human bodies and over 200 anatomical specimens.

Bored Again Christian is a site dedicated to the good aspects of Christianity. There are several people who give our faith a bad name and use God’s words in the wrong way. It is my goal to inspire many people to get back in touch with their faith and see all the good in people around the world. I am “bored” with what is happening in our country, whites vs blacks, gays vs Baptists, all people matter, black lives matters, gay pride, Team Mystic or Team Valor. Our forefathers wanted this place to be a safe haven for all religions and men.

|B&M Rail Yard, North Walpole, NH| Mr. Blount bought the narrow gauge Edaville Railroad in South Carver, MA in 1955. His first standard gauge locomotive was the Boston & Maine 1455. As he began to collect other standard gauge steam locomotives, it became apparent that he would need a location serviced by standard gauge tracks. So, in 1960 Mr. Blount purchased a Boston & Maine rail yard in North Walpole, NH and moved all of his equipment there. [photo] [Google Maps view Steamtown U.S.A. location in Walpole, NH] In 1964 Nelson Blount obtained Rutland trackage rights between North Walpole, NH and Westmoreland, NH. Once again, Mr. Blount moved his steam collection from the Boston and Maine rail yard in North Walpole, NH to a new site roughly two miles north in Bellows Falls, VT. This latest location was at the former site of a proposed Rutland yard in Riverside, just north of North Walpole and Bellows Falls, VT. Tracks fanning out from a turntable provided an excellent place to display his collection of steam locomotives. Over the years, excursion trains were run out of four different locations: Sunapee, NH, Keene, NH, North Walpole, NH, and Bellows Valls, VT. For a more complete description of Steamtown U.S.A.'s early history, see this page. [Google Maps view of Steamtown U.S.A. location at Riverside, Bellows Falls, VT] Tragedy struck in 1967 when Nelson Blount was killed when his private plane crashed into a tree in Marlborough, NH. Nelson was only 49. This event took a lot of steam out of Steamtown U.S.A. Most of the operational steam locomotives were either sold or fell into disrepair. Then, in 1970, Vermont passed air quality regulations which prohibited steam operations. Diesel locomotives were then used on Steamtown U.S.A. excursions and ridership fell dramatically. Despite the air quality regulations, the Steamtown Foundation again began operating with a steam locomotive. By 1983, Steamtown U.S.A. again had many (six) operating steam locomotives. Despite the resurrection of steam locomotives, Steamtown U.S.A. was in financial trouble. It was determined that the main problem was its location -- isolated from any major population center. In 1984, Steamtown U.S.A. was moved to Scranton, PA. Still losing money, the Steamtown Foundation went bankrupt in 1986. Congress created the Steamtown National Historic Site and the National Park Service acquired the collection. [Google Maps view of Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, PA] If it were not for Mr. Nelson Blount amassing the incredible collection of steam locomotives he did, we would not have many of the operating locomotives and museums we do have today. |Russ White Photo| |Russ White Photo| |Carl H Sturner Photo| I had a opportunity to ride behind her at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 1997. That day I believe we had at least 8 BR standard coaches and she hauled them like a trooper only slipped a couple of times. When this loco ran in the states it was notorious for slipping and could barely pull two coaches. When operated at Scranton it was always run with the "pup" (their SW9). The folks in Britain I talked to indicated all they did was re-profile the drivers, but I would think the spring rigging must have been adjusted as well. The Repton is a great steamer and I was happy to see here back in her native habitat.

Tech Tip submitted by Dave Porter, F5 Data Solutions The effectiveness of CIFS virtualization in the ARX is impaired by slow response from external systems such as file servers and domain controllers, resulting in poor response to client requests, and so-called WORKSLOW messages in syslog. Version 6.01.000 of the ARX adds new aids to diagnosing the underlying cause. The problem we’re solving here is one of diagnosis: ARX users complain that ‘the ARX is slow’, and then a knowledgeable technician must try and determine the reason. Over time, we have learned that a good first step is to look for WORKSLOW messages in the system log. But then what? In the past, that has required dumping internal data structures, checking various counters, getting network traces, and so on. In V6.01.000, we’ve attempted to provide a single command that can serve as the first point of diagnosis. Information that was previously hidden in private data structures is now exposed to view. The new command is ‘show statistics cifs work-queues’, and some example output is shown below. The output is a little on the technical side; there's not really any way to simplify it, since slowdowns will naturally be related to internal structure. In this document, the output is broken into sections for explanation. The command used for this example was show statistics cifs work-queues volume-group 2 The overall output structure is: firstly, information about how the internal queues are doing, followed by more detailed info that might help you determine where any slowdowns are occurring. Terminology note: ‘dNAS’ is the name of the control plane volume manager component; ‘vcifs’ is the name of the CIFS subcomponent of dNAS. Both of these names are used in syslog as well as in the present document. The volume manager is involved in more-or-less all CIFS traffic except data reads and writes. Warning: this example is a composite, synthesized from bits and pieces. The numbers might not be consistent. First, the work queues (or ‘work lists’; the terms are interchangeable). Vcifs has some number of these, used for different purposes. The formal name and approximate use are given. Stats indicate the number of items currently queued, and the high-water mark on the number of items queued. The number of items completed is given—whether the CIFS operation ‘succeeded’ or ‘failed’ is immaterial here; a failed access is not a problem in our software, e.g. user might have typed the wrong filename. ‘Discarded’ happens in times of stress; discarded items never even got started. CIFS work queue pool statistics ------------------------------- Work list "main": used for most client requests 0 items active or waiting; highest was 4 at 06/01/2011 15:33:49 -0400 8 items completed, 0 discarded Average 13 uSec queued, 1277 uSec processing Time waiting in queue: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 33 2 0 1 0 9 2 Time processing on thread: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 34 1 0 1 0 9 2 Work list "auth": used for client authentication 0 items active or waiting; highest was 1 at 06/01/2011 15:19:33 -0400 12 items completed, 0 discarded Average 16 uSec queued, 1332 uSec processing Time waiting in queue: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 33 11 2 0 0 0 0 Time processing on thread: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 34 10 2 0 0 0 0 Work list "setup": authentication support for data plane 0 items active or waiting; highest was 1 at 06/01/2011 15:18:12 -0400 2 items completed, 0 discarded Average 26 uSec queued, 866 uSec processing Time waiting in queue: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 Time processing on thread: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 Work list "special": internal notifications, including client disconnect 0 items active or waiting; highest was 1 at 06/01/2011 15:33:50 -0400 4 items completed, 0 discarded Average 27 uSec queued, 151 uSec processing Time waiting in queue: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 14 0 0 0 0 1 0 Time processing on thread: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 14 0 0 0 0 1 0 Work list "no-op": processes keepalives from data plane 0 items active or waiting; highest was 1 at 06/01/2011 15:33:51 -0400 57 items completed, 0 discarded Average 22 uSec queued, 44 uSec processing Time waiting in queue: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 997 10 0 0 0 0 0 Time processing on thread: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 1007 0 0 0 0 0 0 The average times are calculated over ‘completed’ items. Queue time is the time between being placed on the queue and being picked up by a worker thread; this will be non-zero even if worker threads were immediately available. Processing time is the time for which a worker thread was dedicated to this item of work. The vcifs implementation means that a work item ties up a work thread from the time it starts processing until the time it is completed. In this example, there were a handful of client requests that could be problematic: 9 requests took 10 to 100 seconds, and 2 requests took more than 100 seconds. There are histograms showing the distribution of the queue times and processing times for the completed work items; the definitions of queue time and processing time are as above. The histogram scale is logarithmic, ranging from 1 msec to 100 secs. At the end of all the work-list info, there is a table of status messages. Work queue status messages: Timestamp (UTC) WkList Event Age(sec) Operation 2011-04-08 13:43:20 main DONE 224 CLIENT_REQ TRANSACTION2/FIND_FIRST2 [in filer wait, 192.168.97.45, 223 sec] 2011-04-08 14:26:26 main DONE 288 CLIENT_REQ TRANSACTION2/FIND_FIRST2 [in filer wait, 192.168.97.45, 225 sec] 2011-04-08 14:42:07 main SLOW 40 REQ_FILE_OPEN NT_CREATE_ANDX [in dnas wait, 40 sec] 2011-04-08 14:59:32 main SLOW 40 TREE_CONNECT [in dnas wait, 39 sec] There is a status entry corresponding to the WORKSLOW and WORKSTUCK log messages, with approximately the same information. The ‘event’ is SLOW, STUCK, or DONE; this last one is the case when a previously SLOW or STUCK message is finally completed. Thus, a given work item may first show up as SLOW after ~30 secs on a work thread. It will be updated to STUCK at about the 5 minute mark. It may eventually be further updated to DONE, if we're lucky. The timestamp shows the real time at which the entry was last updated (i.e., first became SLOW, or transitioned to STUCK or DONE) and the ‘age’ was the number of seconds it had been occupying a thread at the time of update. The ‘operation’ contains an internal message type indicator on the first line, and where relevant, a CIFS message type on a second line. For currently active (SLOW/STUCK, not DONE) operations, the current run state and time in that state are shown. The state is the same state that has always been part of the log messages; the time in state is a recent addition to log messages and this display: it removes ambiguity about whether we've really been stuck in one place for most of the operation. In the example, yes, we have been stuck in dNAS all that time. Filer-wait state now shows the IP address of the filer in question. For DONE events, the displayed run state and time in that state are the worst (longest) experienced by the item in its lifetime. Note that it's the single worst: if a given work item accessed filers twice, taking 35 seconds for one access and 40 seconds for the other, then the DONE even will show a filer-wait time of 40 secs, not 75 secs. The last 20 such events are retained; the table may be cleared on dNAS restart. Processing Time Per Op Type This gives you a more detailed breakdown of what's taking so long, as measured at the 'front end' of vcifs. Average processing time per operation type ------------------------------------------ CIFS SMB Count Avg time (uSec) Transaction2/FindFirst2 3 170709437 NTCreateAndX 1 32007162 TreeConnectAndX 16 6783 SessionSetupAndX 30 1644 Negotiate 16 674 TreeDisconnect 1 46 Transaction2/QueryFSInfo 2 29 All SMBs 69 7888467 After having determined that some operations are taking a long time, by looking at the work-queues info described above, this helps you figure out whether particular SMB types are taking longer than others. Here, directory enumeration (FindFirst2) is troublesome, as is file lookup and creation (NTCreateAndx). The processing time is the time for which a given SMB was tying up a single vcifs thread; for each SMB type, the count of those SMBs and the average processing time are both shown. The output is ordered by average processing time (longest first) and entries with zero counts are not displayed. File Server Round Trip Time Per Op Type For operations that appear to be taking an unusually long time, this helps you determine whether the problem lies with the file server. Average file server round-trip time per operation type ------------------------------------------------------ CIFS SMB Count RTT (uSec) Close 1 1479 Transaction2/FindFirst2 4 1445 SessionSetupAndX 30 1356 Negotiate 14 860 NTCreateAndX 1 705 TreeConnectAndX 16 622 TreeDisconnect 4 352 Transaction2/QueryFSInfo 650 297 All SMBs 720 368 No response timeouts No network errors The average round-trip time is given, per CIFS operation type, for all shares in all volumes serviced by this dNAS instance. The time is measured from when vcifs transmits the request to the time at which it has received the entire response. Cases of network error or response timeout do not contribute to the average round-trip time, but are instead counted separately. If there appear to be cases of slow file server response, the particular server or share can be isolated using the ‘show statistics filer’ command. The '’show statistics cifs work-queues’ command only presents the overall averages. Time Spent In Authentication The last major section of the output shows statistics concerning authentication, particularly the time taken for authentication requests outside the ARX. Time spent in authentication ---------------------------- Kerberos service ticket requests: Total calls: 2 Elapsed time in call: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 Average time: 0.016 secs DC replacement requested: 0 Netlogon requests: Total calls: 0 Elapsed time in call: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Average time: none ARX Secure Agent requests: Total calls: 0 Elapsed time in call: Secs: < 0.001 < 0.01 < 0.1 < 1 < 10 < 100 Longer Count: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Average time: none We retain separate statistics for getting Kerberos service tickets, for authenticating clients with Netlogon, and for communication with the ARX Secure Agent for client and file server logons. The results are presented as a histogram. In the above example, there is nothing that is worrying. In addition, there is a table showing details of the 20 longest round-trip times. Table of longest recorded round-trip times: Timestamp (UTC) Type Time (uSec) Principal Name 2011-04-08 13:07:38 KRB 30596 firstname.lastname@example.org 2011-04-08 13:07:38 KRB 1455 email@example.com The ‘type’ is one of KRB, ASA, or NL (the last-named being for NetLogon). The principal name is the name of the client for whom authentication is being done. This new command should help you with diagnosis of CIFS response-time problems, by providing the information you need to get started on figuring out what is wrong. You may still need to use other commands to further isolate the issue (for example, to determine which particular filer is slow), but we hope it presents the top-level data in a useful form. Dave Porter is an architect with F5 Data Solutions; he’s been working on ARX file server virtualization since it was invented, and is the principal author of the ARX control-plane CIFS code.

India has been buckling under the fatal spread of COVID-19 ever since the first case was detected on January 30, 2020 in Kerala. The meter currently stands at a staggering 3.3 million total cases, with deaths touching almost 60,000, making India the third-worst affected country in the world behind USA and Brazil. But in the shadow of this newer pandemic looms an older, more persistent one that has been around for years. Rape. One would think that in a time when the entire country is under lockdown and streets are relatively emptier, this particular gender-based crime against women would have shown signs of eradication. But no. Every new morning brings reports of fresh rapes, murders, and mutilations of women. And as a woman, I’m terrified. The hopelessness of the situation begs me to ask: If women aren’t safe from rape even amidst a life-threatening pandemic, will they ever be? From North To South, Rapes Continue It was reported recently that a 17-year old girl was brutally raped and killed in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, the second of two such similar crimes from the district in a matter of a mere 10 days. The first one occurred on August 15, the day we celebrate the country’s Independence, when a 13-year old, allegedly a Dalit, was raped and thrown in the fields with her eyes gouged out and tongue slit. News of another rape came from UP’s Sitapur area where three teenage boys were charged with raping a teen girl on August 17. And these are only the reported cases. Heaven knows how many more lie unreported. Meanwhile, in its neighbouring state of Haryana, which according to NCRB data had the third-highest rape count in 2018 behind only Assam and Madhya Pradesh, violence against women is proving to be a virus far deadlier than any other. The Tribune reports that the state “has recorded 66 rapes, 62 cases of abduction and 142 incidents of molestation in April this year.” Out of 66, as many as 17 have been gang rapes. This is just north India. Data by The New Indian Express indicates that between March and May, there were a total of 64 rape cases and 716 molestation cases in Karnataka. This morning, it was reported that three migrant workers from UP were arrested for allegedly gangraping a 14-year old minor in Kerala. Reports Of Fathers Raping Daughters NCRB data showed that out of the 33,356 reported rapes in 2018, offenders were known to the victims in “almost 94 percent cases.” This alarming fact is ringing truer than ever during the lockdown. As many as five cases were reported between the months of March and May where fathers had raped their daughters, including one incident involving a 75-day-old baby girl. These are rape cases. Data for domestic violence, sexual and otherwise, is telling a whole other horror story. Complaints of domestic violence were reported to have reached a 10-year high during the lockdown. A study published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research in June, with help from NCW data, registered that there was a whopping 131 percent increase in complaints of domestic violence in May 2020 in red zones (COVID-19 hotspots with stricter lockdown measures). Women are often disapprovingly told to stay home and not venture out onto the streets at night, for fear of losing their lives, or worse, the honour of the family. But what could the danger of an unknown street be compared to their own unsafe houses? Women aren’t safe from violence even within the sanctuary of their homes – could there be a bigger indicator of the disadvantage that our gender is at? Who Is Accountable? As the count of coronavirus cases keeps mounting, so do cases of crime against women. That we women don’t have the luxury to call ourselves safe even as the world is battling a health emergency is indicative of a larger collective legal and administrative failure. Whom should we hold accountable? Even if we do, is there a guarantee that safety measures will be put in place? Is anyone even listening to us?

The role of Council's Strategic Planning Section is primarily to identify future land uses and associated trunk infrastructure. This will assist the region manage sustainable growth while offering a diverse range of development options. Council's Strategic Planning Team is actively working towards the implementation of the inaugural planning scheme for the entire Gladstone Region in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. The planning scheme is an integral part of identifying areas suitable for growth to retain the enviable lifestyle that our residents currently enjoy. Along with the new Planning Scheme, extensive work is being undertaken on identifying required infrastructure to support development and to plan for a population growth up to 2031. In addition to the above, the Strategic Team co-ordinate Council's responses towards the major projects within the Gladstone Region, eg. LNG Plants, Steel Plants. The Team also look after amendments to the existing three Planning Schemes. |New GRC Planning Scheme| The new planning scheme will encompass the entire amalgamated Council areas, ie. the former Gladstone City, Calliope Shire and Miriam Vale Shire. The Infrastructure Planning Section identifies infrastructure required to service the Gladstone Region into the future. Note: A link to the documents will be provided in the near future. Major Regional Projects The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) came into effect on 18 December 2009 and replaced the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA). SPA provides for (amongst other things) the process by which development applications must be handled. This process is called the Integrated Development Application System (IDAS). Council's Statutory Planning Team assesses all Planning Development applications - ie. Material Change of Use (MCU), Reconfiguring a Lot (RaL). The team also assess Boundary Relaxation and Amenity and Aesthetics applications. For all planning applications you must: - Complete application details - IDAS form 1 (mandatory). - Complete any other forms relevant to your application. - Provide any mandatory supporting information identified on the forms as being required to accompany your application. - Pay the required fee. In addition, it is recommended that you complete the applicable IDAS checklist (although not mandatory). The following provides links and/or information to assist the lodgement of a properly made development application. All forms can be obtained from the Department of Local Government & Planning website NOTE: The IDAS forms are the approved forms under the Act and must be used when making an application. There are also template forms however these are not mandatory (eg. Changing an approval) |Amenity & Aesthetics||This form applies for all structures which can impact on the amenity and aesthetics of the area or for any of the scenarios listed on the first page of the Amenity & Aesthetics Application form.| |Boundary Relaxation||This form applies for dwellings proposed to be constructed closer than 6m to the front boundary and for all other structures seeking boundary relaxation to the side or rear boundary.| |Current Planning Schemes||All applications must be accompanied by a statement about how the proposed development addresses the applicable planning scheme and any other relevant planning documents.| |Planning Fees & Charges 2013-14| All applications must be accompanied by the applicable fee. |Other Useful Links| Prelodgement Meetings are designed to provide the customer with detailed advice on proposals that are more complex, complicated and generally at a significant stage of their project/application development. Prelodgement meetings are intended to provide initial advice on specific issues identified for discussion by the applicant and any likely major issues relevant to a development proposal. It cannot replace the in-depth investigation normally associated with the formal assessment of an application and consideration of any public submissions. While the advice is given in good faith, it in no way binds a decision by the Council. Prelodgement Meetings will attract a $250 fee an invoice will be issued once a request is reviewed by Council. Plannng Enquiry advice is applicable and current at the date of enquiry and the necessary application/s should be lodged within a period of three (3) months. It is recommended that once you have received initial advice, that you arrange for a pre lodgment meeting with a Planning Officer to confirm the relevant requirements and associated charges. Planning Enquiry Form To assist with lodging a Survey Plan to Council, please complete the below checklist. Along with the above checklist, Survey Plan Lodgement usually consists of: - Survey Plan - Easement Documentation (if applicable) - IDAS Form 32 - Fees as per Council's Fees & Charges - Report demonstrating compliance with the Conditions of Development Approval. To discuss the lodgement of Survey Plans further, please contact Council's Statutory Planning Section on (07) 4977 6813. To request any of the following town planning certificates, please complete the Assessment & Development Search Form and pay the applicable fee as indicated. - Limited Planning & Development Certificate (refer Section 738 of SPA for details) - Standard Planning & Development Certificate (refer Section 739 of SPA for details) - Full Planning & Development Certificate (refer Section 740 of SPA for details)

SVGGraph date and time options Data with key values that are dates and/or times is quite common, but SVGGraph would not usually be expecting it. The graph below shows what happens when your data key is a string containing the full date and time of an event, in this case major earthquakes in 2001. This is a scatter graph, with the date/time keys along the X axis and numeric values on the Y axis. I've rotated the axis text to make it readable. At first glance it doesn't look like there is anything wrong with this graph, but the first three axis labels are all in January 2001, the next three are in February 2001, then the labels after that skip to April, May and June. The values have been spread out evenly across the graph, even though the period between the actual events varies. SVGGraph doesn't know that the key strings have a deeper meaning, so it has treated them as plain text. The datetime_keys option datetime_keys option makes SVGGraph parse all the keys in the data, converting them to an integer datestamp value (the number of seconds since the start of 1970). For pie graphs and the other pie-like graphs it doesn't do much more with the converted key, but for graphs that have axes it switches to using a different class for calculating the axis measurements using dates and times: The example above uses the same data and settings as the previous graph, but datetime_keys. The X axis now starts at January 2001 and ends at the start of January 2002, with divisions and labels each month. It might not be obvious from this graph but the distance between the axis divisions varies with the length of the month, so February takes up about 10% less width than January or December. The conversion from string to date and time value was simple in this case because the keys were in a standard format which the PHP function recognises. If your data is in a different format you can set the datetime_key_format option to a string that describes the layout of your keys. The date_create_from_format PHP manual page describes the function SVGGraph uses to perform the conversion, and lists all the fields available for use in your format string. Date and time axis options There are several options for configuring the axis that start to support date and time values when the datetime_keys option is enabled. The graph below limits the range of the graph to the first two weeks of 2001 by setting the axis_max_h option to “2001-01-14T00:00”. The graph now starts at 00:00 on the 1st of January 2001 and ends at 00:00 on the 14th of January 2001. SVGGraph has chosen to divide the graph up into days, labelling the divisions appropriately. SVGGraph has an internal list of date and time formats to use, depending on the division size: $formats = array( 'second' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s', 'minute' => 'Y-m-d H:i', 'hour' => 'Y-m-d H:i', 'day' => 'Y-m-d', 'month' => 'Y-m', 'year' => 'Y' ); You can override the defaults by specifying your own format in the datetime_text_format option. This can either be an array containing the specific formats to override, or a string that will override all of them. The format is explained on the date function page. Here is the graph above using the datetime_text_format set to “j M\nY” (and the text rotation turned off): Using date/time values to limit the range of the graph is supported by the axis_min_h options on ordinary grid-based graphs, and the options on horizontal graphs. Weeks are handled slightly differently by SVGGraph, treating them as blocks of seven days starting on any day. They don't appear in the list of formats above because they use the same label format as individual days. The graph below shows what happens when I set the end of the axis to the 14th of February, with SVGGraph deciding it is best divided into weeks: I've added the day of the week into the here to make it clearer. The 14th of February would not provide a whole number of weeks, so the axis has been extended to the end of that week. The first day of January in 2001 was a Monday, and since SVGGraph uses Monday as the first day of its week, that remains the start of the axis. If you want to start your weeks on a different day, you can pass the start day to the datetime_week_start option. In the next graph it has been set to “sunday” instead: The graph above now starts on the Sunday before the first value, the 31st of December 2000. The end of the axis has also shifted back by a day to the Sunday at the end of the week containing the 14th of February. Divisions and subdivisions The other axis types let you choose the division and subdivision distances using plain numeric values, but that doesn't work very well when they could be in seconds, hours or even years apart. To make it easier, the date/time axis supports specifying the units for dividing the grid: In this example I have set the grid_division_h option to the string “3 days” and subdivision_h to “36 hours”. The units available are listed here: $unit_sizes = [ 'second' => 1, 'minute' => 60, 'hour' => 3600, 'day' => 86400, 'month' => 2629800, // avg year / 12 'year' => 31557600 // avg year = 365.25 days (ignoring leap centuries) ]; As you can probably guess from this, the values are converted to a number of seconds, since that is what SVGGraph uses for all date and time data internally. The units will work with or without the trailing 's', so “1 hour” and “60 minutes” should give you exactly the same result. Note: you must use whole numbers for the division and subdivision invervals. The options for settings the division and subdivision sizes are subdivision_h for the ordinary vertical graphs, and for the horizontal graphs. More labelling options The axis text is not the only place that the date and time keys appear - the standard tooltips also contain the key, which can be formatted using the Here I've set the tooltip_datetime_format to “j M Y\ng:ia”, splitting the date and time across two lines (the keys are then followed by a comma and value). Hover your cursor over a marker to see the tooltip. I've also added a guideline, a custom label and a rectangular shape (the pink area from 20th to 22nd January) to show that date/time values are supported in other places too. The code for them is shown below. $settings['guideline'] = [ '2001-01-05T12:00', "Midday\n5th Jan", 'x', 'text_position' => 'bottom right', 'colour' => '#c00', ]; $settings['label'] = [ 'g2001-02-01T08:00', 'g0', "8:00am on\nFeb 1st", 'type' => 'bubble' ]; $settings['shape'] = [ 'rect', 'x' => 'g2001-01-20T00:00', 'y' => 'gt', 'width' => 25, 'height' => 'gh', 'fill' => '#f00', 'opacity' => 0.2, ]; The guideline position is the date and time in a string by itself, while the label and shape start with the 'g' prefix to show that the values are grid references (guideline positions are always grid references). The width of the pink rectangle shape is given as a value in pixels because date and time units are not supported by the shape options yet. There is one more option that I couldn't demonstrate on a scatter graph, data_label_datetime_format. The data keys are not normally shown in the data labels on grid-based graphs, but only on the pie graph and its For the example above I have used the same format as for the tooltips in the previous example, so data_label_datetime_format is set to “j M Y\ng:ia”. This is the only place date/time data is used on a Really long and very short ranges SVGGraph can cope with a reasonable range of values for dates and times, but if your data spans hundreds of years or only fractions of a second then you are probably better off not using the date/time functions at all, but adjusting some of the standard axis options instead. The callback functions provide the ability to alter the text for labels however you want, or the units_* options allow for setting the units on each axis - so you could label your X axis in microseconds by setting Other date and time systems No. Seriously, the date and time system to which I am accustomed is complicated enough, and I'm not even going to worry about year 0 (there shouldn't be one) or the dates before (or maybe during) the calendar change from Julian to Gregorian. I haven't tested them, but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't work. Contact me if you find that they don't work but you would really like them to, and I'll look into it.

Having developed equipment to handle regular shaped fruit and vegetables, Compac Sorting Equipment has secured $3.7 million of TechNZ funding to create sorters for small and delicate, as well as irregular shaped produce. The Auckland-based private company must match the government funding in a 30 month project which aims to help expand its $65 million a year turnover into $100m a year by 2015. “The investment’s to further develop our software and technology for produce that might be smaller such as cherries, or longer such as cucumbers, or in a more dirty environment,” says Compac general manager, Bob Show. “It will increase the number of market segments we’re in, fast track its development and broaden our range of customers. The contractual documents signed with TechNZ have very clearly defined stages and end-stages that must be achieved in return for the government’s investment he says. Show estimates that Compac is number three or four in the world in produce sorting equipment sales, with most of its major competition being European companies. Its equipment manufacturing is carried out in Uruguay, Korea and Italy, as well as in Auckland. The company’s competitive advantage, extensively developed since its 1984 establishment, is software and technology that not only sorts produce by external blemishes, but also by its internal sugar levels and defects. In short, it provides grading to what retailers’ require. “Other competitors can do this to varying degrees,” says Show, “but from a consistency and performance point of view, we see ourselves as number one.” All of Compac’s research and development is carried out in-house, with 38 fulltime researchers across the electrical, electronic , software and mechanical disciplines. The company has patents on some key elements of its sorting equipment, “though software has some natural barriers, not the least being years of development,” Show says. “What we’ve done can’t be replicated in five minutes.” It mostly carries out its sales direct to customers through its own employees, though in South Africa and the north-west United States, because of their particular strengths, distributors are used for sales. “We run a mixed model, with some of our own company people, some joint ventures; its horses for courses really,” he says. As for many other exporters, China is a market of particular interest, where Compac already has three sales staff. “Growth in that market takes time,” Show says. “When Chinese retailers start making more demands on their suppliers and packers, that’s when we’ll be required.” Show says this is partly a reflection of the different market maturities. “Europe’s very mature; you have packers there that are third or fourth generation and very well established,” he says. “Asia’s only just starting, and many are only just moving up from a manual sorting system.”

When it comes to understanding, one is encouraged to “walk a mile in another man’s shoes.” This idea will be put into action when the St. Vincent de Paul Society hosts its annual Friends of the Poor Walk Day on Sept. 25. The event will begin at the Mandeville lakefront, on the corner of Jackson Street and Lakeshore Drive across from the yacht club. The first local walk was held at Audubon Park in New Orleans in 2008. This will be the first time that it will held on the north shore. “The walk is designed to raise awareness of the poor in our local areas and money to help the local church St. Vincent de Paul Conferences to assist the needy,” said Elaine Selle, president of the St. Vincent de Paul North Shore District. The organization helps anyone, regardless of their faith. And everyone is encouraged to participate in the one-mile walk. “The St. Vincent de Paul Society was started in Paris by Blessed Frederic Ozanam in 1833, with only eight members and has grown into a worldwide Catholic charitable organization with more than three-quarters of a million Vincentians in over 140 countries,” Selle said. “The North Shore conferences are nearly two decades old. The Society, post-Katrina, consisting of 44 conferences in St. Tammany, Metairie, New Orleans and the West Bank, has as its mission, `To seek and find the forgotten, to assist the needy in helping to meet their basic needs with rent, food and utilities.’ For nearly two centuries, the Society has been fighting poverty by providing one-on-one assistance to those in need.” On-site registration will start at 8:30 a.m., with Mandeville Mayor Donald Villere making opening remarks at 10:15 a.m. The walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. Following the walk, jambalaya, red beans and rice, hot dogs and drinks will be provided free of charge by the Knights of Columbus from Mary, Queen of Peace, St. John of the Cross and Our Lady of the Lake, with music provided by a deejay. The event will close at noon. The National Walk Day for the Poor is always scheduled for the Saturday closest to the feast of St. Vincent de Paul, which is Sept. 27. Local conferences participating in the walk include St. Peter in Covington, St. Anselm in Madisonville, Mary, Queen of Peace and Our Lady of the Lake in Mandeville, St. John of the Cross in Lacombe, St. Jane de Chantal in Abita Springs, Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Genevieve in Slidell and Holy Family in Franklinton. Friends of the Poor Walk Day is open to all age groups, however, one must register to participate. There is no registration fee and no specific dollar amount required for sponsorships. Walkers are requested to ask their family, friends, co-workers and businesses to sponsor them. They may also sponsor themselves. One-hundred percent of pledge dollars are paid to the conference of the walker, so that the proceeds will be used in direct service to the poor. Walkers are requested to register prior to Walk Day. Forms may be obtained from any of the above north shore conferences, or from Selle at 792.5844. For information about the National Council of the United States, visit the website at www.svdpusa.org. For information about the local walk, contact Gros at 285.5766 or at 661.1314.

People with mental health disabilities in Clearfield County may soon have a new place to gather. The Clearfield-Jefferson Drop-In Center Task Force is pushing forward with plans to open a drop-in center in DuBois. A drop-in center is a safe and sober place for people with mental illness to gather for support and fun. Right now there isnt anything like that in the DuBois area, but with a little help from the community this one could open in just a few months. The program director Deb Thompson says its a place for support for people with mental health disabilities. As a mother of four Thompson says she battled with her own mental illness for years. She vowed once she got her life in order she would devote her time to helping others and says this program is it. They keep people with mental illnesses off the streets by providing a place to socialize, hang out and stay clean. The program is funded through grants but they rely mostly on donations. Thats why a local doctor donated the space for the DuBois chapter. Dr. Jeffery Rice says hes happy to provide the members with a safe environment. Thompson says the office in DuBois is expected to open in July of 2009, but with a little help from the community it could open in just a few months. For more information on the DuBois Drop-In Center, to volunteer, or to donate, call Deb Thompson at 814-375-1039. Copyright 2013 Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. All rights reserved.

Andy Murray narrowly failed to make it a golden double as he and Laura Robson were beaten by Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus in the Olympic final of the mixed tennis doubles. Murray returned to Centre Court only 45 minutes after thrashing Roger Federer to win singles gold, and it looked like he would be celebrating again when the British pair raced through the first set. But Mirnyi and Azarenka, the women's world number one, hit back to take the second and it was the Belarussians who prevailed in a close match tie-break to win 2-6 6-3 10-8. "I'd like to thank Andy for playing with me. It's been one of the best weeks of my life, for sure," Robson told BBC1. "They're top seeds for a reason. I was just happy to be in the final, but it's definitely tough to lose." Murray added: "We would have signed up for that at the start of the event. It's just annoying to lose. We were so close and played so well in the first set."

The Lego games have a strong following, and with a very good reason. They take beloved franchises and boil them down to their core; they get right to what it is about these adapted properties that we love and then add a layer of charming gameplay and humor, mixed with simple—yet effective—mechanics. They are just fun to play, and they manage to tell a well-known story in a way that feels fresh, and yet familiar. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is a known commodity to Lego fans, having originally been released for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, plus modified versions on the PSP and 3DS, back in November. It was a great game and a fitting companion to the earlier Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4. And even without the built in audience that was already willing to love the franchise because of the subject, the game stood on its own merits. You can read our full review here. The Vita version, however, is a different animal. It isn’t quite a port of the console version as it is a remake. A remake that seemed to feel that it needed to remove major chunks of the original game, and cut corners in the oddest ways. The core gameplay is still there, and the essential feel of the Lego games remains, but it feels truncated and stunted, and in ways that just don’t make sense. After playing the game and preparing my review, I was shown the PSP version of this game and I realized what happened. The Vita version is the PSP game…but with touch commands. And not very useful touch commands at that. I never played the PSP version, so the problems inherent with it weren’t known to me. I wish they had been. The Boy That Lived Again and Again If you are a Harry Potter fan you know the plot. The Boy That Lived runs head first through puberty, fighting off zits and Voldemort in equal measures. The game begins during The Order of the Phoenix, jumps into The Half Blood Prince, and then follows the movies by splitting the original book into The Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2. With the Lego games a definite level of familiarity in regards to the stories is a must. If you don’t already know the plot then not only will you miss most of the in-jokes, you simply won’t be able to follow the story because there isn’t a distinct narrative. It is a series of skits that parodies the material, but lovingly. This game goes beyond that though, and only offers the briefest glimpse of the story as it rushes by. It isn’t that the narrative it fails, it just isn’t there. Entire levels from the original are missing, which would be fine, except the game just barely touches on the heart of the stories. Cut scenes are shortened and fly by. Each of the four sections of the game can be completed in under two hours at the most, and the episodic nature makes it feel even shorter. It feels like the game wants to get sections out of the way to get to something else, but there is no payoff. If the story isn’t an issue though, then the game does have a lot to offer. It is still top notch and fun–albeit brief. It was never especially deep, but it does what it sets out to, and is enjoyable throughout. The lack of any form of multiplayer is a shame though. The Gameplay that Lived For those that have never played a Lego game, they all follow a similar pattern. You show up, you wreck stuff, and you collect bolts and other various items. Although you primarily play as Harry, you also switch between various characters as the situation arises. You can also return to earlier levels with unlocked characters, which is vital if you are all about collecting hard to get items, as certain characters have certain abilities that are needed to reach areas, open doors, unlock gates, etc., etc. The Vita’s touchscreen is incorporated, but not in a meaningful way. You can touch targets that you want to attack or interact with, but it is actually more of a pain than just using the d-pad. It doesn’t take anything away though, so it is a non-issue, just another example of under-utilizing the Vita’s capabilities. As for the graphics, there is a division. The gameplay graphics are smooth and look good. They don’t quite reach the original console version, but they are respectable. The cut scenes, however, are not. There is a bizarre downgrade in the graphics here. It looks as if the cut scenes were recorded off of a DVD onto a VHS tape, then copied a few times. There is a grainy, diluted look to them that is equal parts inexcusable and baffling. It just doesn’t make any sense. Sure, the Vita is not as powerful as the PS3 or 360, but the graphics looked below the 3DS’ standards. For hardware as powerful as the Vita, the cut scenes are inexcusably bad. The sound is also underwhelming given the Vita’s capabilities, but that is something you’ll only notice if you are checking for it. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is a great game and the best Harry Potter video game around. On the consoles. The Vita version is a direct port of the PSP version, which was itself severely edited, with entire levels removed and major sections reworked to be shorter and simpler. If you have played the full console version, this will feel like a demo, and an odd one with bad graphics at that. The gameplay is good though, and what there is, is fun. But even with some fun moments and solid gameplay, it is hard to overlook all the issues, especially on the Vita. On another piece of portable hardware it may make sense to offer a deliberately nerfed version of the game, but on the Vita it just feels like a hastily ported version of the PSP version. It doesn’t make any sense. If they were going to hastily port a game, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to just port (and slightly downgrade) the console version—the Vita could handle it. There is some fun here, but it is a pale reflection of the far superior console version that is difficult to justify. Score 6.5 out of 10 (This game was reviewed on the PlayStation Vita on a copy provided by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment)

Published on March 11th, 2014 | by Jo Borras7 Toyota iRoad Undergoes More Trials Ahead of Production The last mile. That’s the biggest hurdle facing city planners and proponents of public transport- that last mile that commuters have to cross from the train station to their home or office. For many, the answer is either walking or cycling- that’s what all those bike rental programs are all about. Still, even biking is a lot to ask- especially if that “last mile” is more like “last few miles”. That’s where the Toyota iRoad comes in. Toyota believes that its new, all-electric iRoad might be able to combine the advantages of a motorcycle’s small road footprint, the enclosed weather protection of a car, and the convenience of bike sharing to deliver a real-world solution to the last mile problem that can be embraced by crowded urban metropolises (metropolii?). At the moment, the iRoad is being tested with rail commuters coming into Toyota city in Aichi, Japan, but that program has seen some early success with high adoption rates and an increasing number of repeat users. Toyota feels good enough about its results in Japan that the company plans to begin testing the iRoad, along with Toyota’s other last mile products, as a low-emission commuting solution in France later this year, when Toyota participates in a vehicle-sharing trial in the city of Grenoble. As for whether or not we’ll ever see the Toyota iRoad in the US, that may depend on how it works overseas and whether or not it’ll have to be classified as a motorcycle, like the Elio Trikke. Perhaps tellingly, Toyota has said that it has no plans to produce a vehicle like the iRoad for general consumption. That seems like it would be bad for Elio, but good for people like me who’d love to tool around in an iRoad during the winter, but would store the thing in favor of a big boy bike nine months out of the year.

Annual UK sales of the three top-selling (but little marketed) high-strength lager brands, Carlsberg’s Special Brew and Skol Super, and AB InBev’s Tennent’s Super (all 9% ABV) total ₤104m ($166m). But in late September, a campaign called ‘Reducing the Strength’ campaign (backed by the UK National Health Service locally and Suffolk Police) led to sales of lagers and ciders over 6.5% being removed from sale in many stores (including Tesco) in Ipswich, a town in Suffolk. Homeless charity Thames Reach has campaigned for seven years to limit what it claimed was the serious health damage caused by the lagers, as well as very cheap super-strength ciders such as White Ace (7.5%) in 3l bottles, which it said was flooding London via cheap wholesale channels. The charity warned that super-strength drinks could lead to brain damage and liver failure, and dubbed a social group of people in their thirties, forties, fifties ‘young olds’, who had poor health often found in much older people, poor mobility, memory loss and incontinence. Unflattering comparison to heroin, crack… Thames Reach said it had figures indicating that super-strength drinks were responsible for more deaths among the homeless people the charity supported than heroin or crack cocaine. Meanwhile, it praised Heineken for taking super-strength cider White Lightning of the market the day after visiting a Thames Reach hostel and saw the effects of alcohol addiction first hand. A spokesman for Thames Reach, Mike Nicholas, told this publication: “I saw over the weekend that C&C Group is going to focus on its main cider brand Magners, and abandon their super-strength portfolio such as Diamond White [cider].” “That’s a fantastic move, and seems to indicate the larger parts of the drinks industry are starting to behave more responsibly in terms of super-strength drinks. And we’re not targeting premium strength drinks or calling for prohibition.” Industry irresponsibility alleged “But Carlsberg has bought into the super-strength market, by buying-out Skol Super,” Nicholas added. “So it’s very disappointing that Carlsberg has added to its portfolio rather than being embarrassed at having super-strength lagers in its drinks portfolio. “These drinks aren’t consistent with any sense of corporate social responsibility. If government guidelines for daily recommended use are 3-4 units for men, 2-3 for women, how can you produce a single un-resealable can containing 4.5 units, which these lagers do? “That seems irresponsible to me,” Nicholas said, adding that he agreed with journalist Martin Hickman of The Independent, who last week called super-strength lagers the “in some ways, the dirty secret of the global drinks industry”. BeverageDaily.com asked Carlsberg and AB InBev for their opinion on the Ipswich sales ban, whether they felt it set an unfair precedent for their brands that could be replicated elsewhere in the country, and for their take on the phrase ‘dirty secret’. ‘Don’t target a single category’ – AB InBev An AB InBev UK spokeswoman told BeverageDaily.com that the firm took its role as a responsible brewer seriously and was a founder member of the Portman Group (a social responsibility body for alcohol producers). She added that the brewer was also a major funder of Drinkaware, which promotes responsible drinking and educated consumers on alcohol’s health effects. “Our products are brewed to be enjoyed responsibly and we would never condone misuse of our products,” she said. “We believe that tackling alcohol misuse is much more complicated than targeting individual products or categories.” Education informs ‘personal choice’ – Carlsberg Carlsberg also stressed its significant contribution to Drinkaware, and a spokeswoman said itensured that all its brands “go above and beyond in communicating alcohol units and responsible drinking”. “It must be remembered that the majority of consumers drink responsibly, but there are, however, a small minority who don’t,” she said. “We believe the effective solution to this is about education to inform drinkers’ personal choice and enabling them to take personal responsibility.” Carlsberg said its role was to inform and educate consumers and help them make informed purchase decisions, clearly stating the number of units on products, recommended daily intake and advising responsible drinking alongside details of Drinkaware. Cheap vodka a bigger problem? Thames Reach also supports the UK government’s plans (due for an autumn update) to introduce a minimum unit price for alcohol of 40p, a move that is subject to fierce industry opposition. The UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) warned in August that the plan could backfire, since retailers would be tempted promoted cheaper alcoholic drinks due to higher margins. The Carlsberg UK spokeswoman said: “In major retailers, Carlsberg Special Brew is currently retailing at ₤7.09 for a 4x440ml pack, which is around 44p/unit of alcohol. “There are many other products on the market such as cheap vodka that sell for around 35p/unit. The duty on strong lager is six times higher than that for strong cider,” she added. Nicholas said that Thames Reach wanted (1) the UK government to increase taxes on super-strength lagers and ciders (2) drinks companies to behave more responsibly and stop selling these products and (3) “see a big supermarket step up to the plate and announce they would stop stocking them”.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is looking to encourage community development in the areas surrounding Sheridan. Debra Anderson, area specialist with the USDA Sheridan Office, recently held a public informational meeting to tout the department's Community Facilities program. She said the program offers a lot of leeway to give city governments and nonprofit organizations an opportunity to improve their areas, or to build a community from the ground up. The USDA's Community Facilities Program helps organizations with a broad range of infrastructure and equipment for community programs. For more information visit the USDA field office on Sugarland Drive, or call 672-5820, ext. 4.

July 17, 2013 at 11:44 AMThis summer I have an opportunity to play in a different orchestra from what I'm used to. After more than 5 years of playing in a community orchestra, I may have gotten a little comfortable there. That orchestra has had the same conductor for my entire tenure, and longer. Most of the time, my stand partner is the other violinist in my quartet, and we sit together on the first stand of the first violins, right across from the principal cellist, who is also in our quartet. One of my jobs has been to discuss the bowings with the conductor, and eventually send around a scanned, bowed part by email to the rest of the section. While this is some work, I don't mind doing it, and I admit I kind of like the perk of not having to follow anyone else. (The conductor is quite enough). The chairs are good, and a few years ago the church where we rehearse fixed its lighting so I can't complain about that either. Finally, we have concerts every 2-3 months, giving us time to learn the music with a weekly rehearsal that lasts from 7:30 to 9:45 with a short break. In other words, I'm used to the venue, the pace, the rehearsal length, the conductor's beat, and being surrounded by friends. But with our conductor's impending retirement, things are going to change, and of course everyone wants that change to be for the better, or at least not for the worse. One of the 3 finalists for our conductor position is conducting a summer orchestra at a local university, and I'm playing with that group for the first time. We are playing 2 big symphonies, Dvorak New World and Borodin #2, with a month-long rehearsal schedule. It is a privilege to play with a group this powerful. While I'm not the most senior member of this group, I'm in the uppermost quartile, age-wise. And while most of the other players are or were not music majors, they are young and agile, and good sight-readers. I'd guess many of them would have been able to major in music or violin performance, had they chosen to. Furthermore, the string sections are more than 50% larger than my home orchestra. It means that, befitting these pieces, the orchestra can fill the large, currently cavernous, hall with sound (and, I hope, with audience members). The chairs are excellent--comfortable, yet not bulky--and the conductor is a model of efficiency and organization. He emails around scanned, bowed parts at the beginning. He sets out the goals for each week's rehearsal both on a handout and verbally before the rehearsal starts. And, he keeps to his schedule, which often goes down to the minute. During rehearsal, which goes from 7 to 10, he schedules short stretch breaks where we are encouraged to shake hands with our neighbor. My stand partner is a delightful, friendly retired college professor who plays with another regional orchestra that performs a lot of contemporary music. We've started carpooling to have company for what is a relatively long and confusing drive through city streets to rehearsal. While this is not a professional group, and the concert is free, I do have a bit of a country mouse feeling of visiting the big city. The rehearsals, which are a full 45 minutes longer than what I'm used to, feel that way, especially when coupled with a long drive to and fro. And despite the orchestra's substantial size, I can feel dwarfed by the large, dark, empty hall, and the need for a spyglass to really see the conductor. One final difference that is turning out to be a bigger deal to me than I first thought, is that here, the first violins and second violins are seated opposite each other, firsts to the conductor's left and seconds to his right. My home orchestra seats the two sections next to each other. I looked it up on violinist.com here, and found that this topic has been the subject of at least two weekend votes, in 2009: and in 2012: Interestingly, both of these polls had "next to the first violins" winning over "opposite the first violins," but the second time, one could also choose the option of "sometimes next to, sometimes opposite," which was the overall winner, and the option I think I chose when I voted. There are a couple of good arguments for the "opposite" arrangement in those threads. In particular, the ideas that it makes the seconds more confident and less hidden when they have some distance from the firsts, and provides the audience with "stereo" sound, are appealing. I also read on the first thread, that one concertmaster thought it made it easier to communicate with the principal second if they were sitting opposite, and that this was in fact the "traditional" seating at some time in the past. Nonetheless, I'm still coming to favor the "next-to" arrangement in this particular situation. My main reason for concluding this is the way certain passages in the Dvorak are orchestrated. There are several times when a theme or motif is passed from section to section, from the firsts to the seconds to the violas to the cellos, for example. I think this looks and sounds much better when it goes in order. With the current seating arrangement, the theme appears to be coming from, and going to, an almost random direction and place. I first noticed it in the Dvorak, but the more I thought about it, I realized that there are fugue-like passages in the Borodin, too, that make more sense from a visual and ensemble perspective to be played in the "next-to" arrangement. The concert is only a few days away, and I don't plan to second-guess the conductor's reasoning, especially not at this late date. But I am curious to understand it better. Do visual cues matter to others the way they seem to matter to me? I mean, perhaps I'm the only one who is upset by having musical motifs criss-cross the orchestra rather than being handed off in an orderly fashion from section to section like a smooth relay baton. This second violin section is strong enough not to get overwhelmed or intimidated by sitting next to the firsts. Nonetheless, I find it, ensemble-wise, easier to sit next to the second violins as a first, and easier to sit next to the violas as a second. What orchestral seating arrangement would Dvorak and Borodin have had in mind when they were writing these symphonies? No matter what, it's good to be trying new things. No matter what, change is coming. The issue of second violin placement is an interesting one. I know that when Barenboim was music director of the Chicago SO, the seconds were opposite the firsts, and I know that was historically the practice back in the high classical period. I have no idea to what extent if makes a difference to the audience, but I suspect not much. Our orch has done it on occasion. However, I do not recall whether it made much difference to me as a violin 1. Acoustics are always an issue when we rehearse and play concerts, because we do not normally rehearse where we play. It would be interesting to ask the conductor why he does what he does and see what his rationale is. Let us know if you do. In re: 1st/2nd vln placement, I agree with those who hold it varies with repertoire. Since I play both vln/vla, I'm used to sitting in any of the 4 positions (some orch. put celli on outside opposite 1sts, but others put vlas there). IMO it does make a difference to the audience if the 2nds are mostly supporting the firsts at intervals, or playing a separate voice (as in fugues). Even in some modern pieces it matters--have your quartet play Barber op.11 sitting in the various configurations--the famous Adagio's voices speak quite differently--and that difference is magnified quite a bit when it's a string orchestra instead of a quartet playing. Those of you making the f holes facing towards the wall comments (as a violist and mostly chamber musician) I really do sympathize. I'm also quietly chuckling at you. It bites, doesn't it? :) I think that, in an ideal world, the position of the seconds would be based on the piece. But it never works that way, and this close to a concert isn't a time to be changing something that has such a big impact on the sound and communication. A lot of the time I feel that orchestral playing is one great long exercise in sucking it up and doing your best regardless of the circumstances. I have had the experience of playing (as a violist) in different arrangements, as the outside section (weird, I know) where the cellists would normally sit, and with the seconds on the outside and the cellists in between violists and seconds. In both scenarios I've had a similar response. With us (violists) on the outside my response was, 'get that great flapping twit (conductor) out of my way so I can see/hear', and 'get those idiots (cello section) out of my way so I can see/hear.' My take-away from those arrangements is that, as a violist, I prefer to have seconds right next to me. So yes, in general I'm predisposed to the 'next to' arrangement for communication reasons, but I *really do* understand the argument for having the seconds opposed to firsts. I nearly always want more of the second violin line, and having them on the outside *does* lead to the section being more extroverted. One of my favorite chamber coaches (Vartan Manoogian, if you ever studied with him you know this riff) said *many times* that the second violin is the heart of the string quartet (and would always casually add, in an undertone, the viola), and I think that transfers into much of the orchestral repertoire too. The seconds really are the bridge between and the chameleons of the string section. Wherever they happen to sit, MORE COWBELL!!! This entry has been archived and is no longer accepting comments.

Morning CLE. Tis the season for work holiday parties filled with mixing and mingling which is ultimately networking with a dash of eggnog for all! I am currently going through the YWCA of Greater Cleveland’s Bootcamp leadership program and I had to chuckle after last weeks learning session. We were talking about the struggles of networking and putting yourself out there to meet new people, to gain new clients or just to be social. While I am usually an extrovert, I can easily be an introvert when it comes to a room of unfamiliar faces and in turn I head strait to my trusty old iphone as my networking date…BAD me. The YWCA Bootcamp program has been an interesting internal assessment of my leadership skills, my ability to work with others, setting goals for future development and most recently meeting a few new women I can call friends. If you are looking for a year of leadership/management “self help” this program is for sure worth investigating. Check it out. In the meantime I leave you with one of the slides from the networking presentation. I smiled at both quotes and thought others might like them too! Happy Trick or Treat Cleveland! Hope you were able to get your spooky party on this past weekend. I attended a rockin Halloween Party at Redstone and it was full on crazy cool. So many amazing costumes, so much effort and yes, in true adult Halloween fashion, lots of sexy zombies, school girls and cheerleaders. I had no idea that Redstone even had an upstairs area capable of such a dance party, very cool space. Anyhow, if you missed this past weekends Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings sold out show at the Beachland, I have two upcoming shows you don’t want to miss, PLUS I have TWO free pairs of tickets to giveaway! (one pair to each show) This week kicks off a series of events for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s, 2011 American Music Masters series honoring the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. There is actually an entire weeks worth of workshops, lectures and smaller concerts (some FREE!) cumulating with a day of learning at the annual conference and a star studded tribute concert on Saturday night, November 5th. For information on any of these events make sure to go visit the special Rock Hall site dedicated to this week of celebration! The second music happening to tell you about, while not quite as big as Ms. Aretha is AM & Shawn Lee. Making their Cleveland debut Tuesday, November 8th at the Beachland Tavern this LA indie pop group will “whoo” you with tunes. Their sound is very 60’s groove, Rolling Stone calls them “hypnotic” and if you are like me and love Thievery Corporation, AM & Shawn Lee have been touring with them so you know they are good! Seattle Weekly even called them one of the “BEST Live Shows of the Year,” and we all know how many good shows past through that rainy city. (Also, visit their site for a FREE mp3 download of their first single, “Dark into Light”) To win a pair of tickets to either the Saturdays Aretha Tribute concert at the State Theatre or the November 8th, AM & Shawn Lee show at the Beachland Tavern, either leave a comment below including which show you are interested in & your email (need to contact the winner) OR follow me and tweet the following about the contest “I want to win tickets to (Aretha or AM Shawn Lee) @iheartclev” Winners will be notified by Friday, November 4th around lunchtime! Happy Music Monday yall. :) For all the details of tonight’s big CIA Spring Show (including the Craft + Material Culture, Foundations, Integrated Media & Visual Arts + Technologies Spring Show!) visit their site for locations, times, details, etc. It looks like a wonderful event at CIA! Kudos to all the participating artists. Gatherings Kitchen is now offering a more skill focused cooking series called Prep School. Always wanted to study to be a chef?

“Silver Linings Playbook” (2012). Cast: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher, John Ortiz, Julia Stiles, Shea Whigham, Paul Herman, Dash Mihok, Cheryl Williams, Patrick McDade, Brea Bee. Director: David O. Russell. Screenplay: David O. Russell. Book: Matthew Quick. Web site. Trailer. As any sports enthusiast can attest, it helps to have a game plan to achieve victory. The same is true in life, a challenge made all the more onerous when hampered by extenuating circumstances. The search for solutions under such conditions can be quite trying, too, as is revealed in the edgy romantic comedy, “Silver Linings Playbook.” Pat Solatano Jr. (Bradley Cooper) has a full plate to manage. Having been released from a mental health care facility where he was committed after flying into a jealous rage and assaulting the lover of his cheating wife Nikki (Brea Bee), he’s now attempting to reintegrate himself back into the routine of everyday life. He’s placed in the custody of his parents, Dolores (Jacki Weaver) and Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro), a risky proposition for an aging couple that has its own share of challenges to contend with, such as dad’s unemployment, his tendency toward obsessive-compulsive behavior and his habitual bookmaking on Philadelphia Eagles football games. Yet the folks’ issues pale in comparison to those of their son, who, despite eight months of treatment, is still seriously in need of getting a grip on reality. While it’s important that Pat Jr. get a handle on his bipolar condition (diligently taking his meds and following the advice of his psychiatrist (Anupam Kher) would probably help), it’s more crucial that he make the attempt to face his life realistically. Specifically, he needs to address his denial regarding the state of his marriage, which, for all practical purposes, is over. Nikki wants nothing to do with Pat, even going so far as having a restraining order imposed against him, prohibiting all contact with her. Nevertheless, Pat still loves Nikki, and he sincerely believes she still loves him. He’s desperate to prove his devotion and that he’s a changed man, and he’s willing to do anything to rekindle their romance, no matter what the cost. And, despite the odds seemingly being stacked against him, he’s convinced he can achieve the results he wants. Pat believes “silver linings” are not only possible but a foregone conclusion as long as he maintains a positive attitude and takes the right steps from his personal playbook to achieve them. But is this a realistic outlook or uncontrolled wishful thinking? Not long after his release, Pat attends a dinner party hosted by his friends Ronnie (John Ortiz) and Veronica (Julia Stiles), one of Nikki’s best girlfriends. At the party, the couple introduces Pat to Veronica’s younger sister, Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a recent widow with her own share of personal issues. Tiffany quickly takes a liking to Pat (her cool, detached way of showing it notwithstanding), but Pat resists her advances, citing the fact that he’s married. Tiffany tries to win him over, however, by mentioning that she’s occasionally in contact with Nikki through her older sister. She even says that she might be able to slip Nikki a letter from him, a clear violation of Pat’s restraining order, but a chance that both Pat and Tiffany are willing to take, each for their own very different reasons. Pat ultimately decides to take Tiffany up on her offer, but she agrees on one condition: that Pat be her partner in an upcoming dance competition. Pat initially dismisses the idea, but, when faced with the prospect that this might be the only way to get a message to Nikki, he relents and agrees to Tiffany’s request. Much to his surprise, he quickly finds this new partnership quite enjoyable. In fact, dancing proves to be very therapeutic, enabling him to achieve focus in his life in ways that other measures previously haven’t allowed. Of course, the positive changes in Pat’s life occur as a result of more than just the dancing; his relationship with his partner has something to do with it, too. And, as the intimacy between the partners grows, it becomes apparent that something more than just two-stepping may be going on. It just might even make Pat forget all about wanting to see his message delivered. Grasping the essence of our own reality is perhaps one of the most daunting tasks that budding practitioners of conscious creation will ever undertake. It requires waking up to the true nature of how our existence manifests, becoming aware of how our beliefs shape the character of the world around us. And that’s often difficult enough when we approach the task under “normal” conditions, but, when mental health issues get thrown into the mix, the challenge becomes that much more difficult (and one that those who are unaffected frequently misunderstand). Indeed, as conscious creation author Jane Roberts and her noncorporeal channeled entity Seth wrote in their seminal work The Nature of Personal Reality, mental illness is typically a condition in which those affected by it are generally incapable of reconciling the beliefs they hold for manifesting their realities with those employed by the rest of society, thereby creating a fundamental disconnect between the two. Overcoming that discrepancy thus becomes the principal task that the afflicted must face, one fraught with multiple challenges on multiple levels. And that’s essentially what Pat and, to a lesser degree, Tiffany must deal with if they ever hope to achieve peace of mind and contentment in their lives. The question, of course, is, will they be successful? Getting to that point involves attaining mastery and control over one’s creations and the beliefs that spawn them. It requires an awareness of how the process works and the synchronicities that help point the way. It involves materializing elements that fill in the gaps needed to achieve happiness and fulfillment. But, perhaps even more importantly, it requires us to let go of the elements of our lives that no longer serve us, as well as whatever ego-driven pride that we’ve allowed to become associated with their creation. And all of this calls for a firm commitment on our part to see things through and to take responsibility for what we’ve done and will do going forward. That can be a pretty tall order for someone whose mental state is operating capably, but it can be that much more difficult for someone who’s combatting mental illness on top of it. Such are the challenges that the protagonists in this film must face, and most of us probably wouldn’t envy their burdens. Fortunately, there are ways of compensating for inherent “deficiencies” that can help to keep us on track, and this is where the role of our conscience comes into play. Manifestations reflecting its presence in our lives can work wonders for keeping us in line. For instance, throughout the picture, Pat’s movements are shadowed by a policeman, Officer Keogh (Dash Mihok), who’s charged with keeping tabs on his actions and whereabouts. Whenever Pat gets out of line, the good constable always seems to have a way of showing up and reminding his subject of what he must to do to toe the line. To some this might seem like a strong-arm tactic, but, if Pat is ever to make good on the goals he’s set for himself, such scrutiny is a necessary creation to help ensure their fulfillment, and he should be thankful for manifesting the officer’s appearance whenever his presence would be most opportune. Anyone who has earnestly sought to realize a personally significant objective can no doubt relate to the value of such perfectly timed materializations and the benefits they ultimately afford, for, in the end, they just might yield success. For all its strengths in exploring the foregoing themes, however, “Silver Linings Playbook” comes up short in many respects. The picture combines a strange amalgamation of elements that makes it come across like part “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, part Dancing with the Stars and part Monday Night Football, all wrapped in what is allegedly a romantic comedy. And I say “allegedly” here because the movie’s sometimes-edgy nature makes this label seem quite ill-fitting. A number of emotionally volatile scenes quite justifiably had me questioning “So this is a romantic comedy?” Moreover, I found the film was often quite enamored with the sense of its own quirkiness, an all-too-obvious attempt at trying to keep the picture from being seen as what is essentially a formula film characterized by inevitable predictability. These qualities, in turn, give rise to some very uneven writing. When it’s on, it works well, but when it’s not, it becomes rather trying, especially in several scenes that seem to go on unduly long. Its examination of the mental illness issue is somewhat uneven, too, sometimes handled deftly and at others clumsily. (For those interested in a picture that truly approaches this subject well, I’d heartily recommend the Ben Stiller comedy-drama “Greenberg” (2010) instead.) Despite these shortcomings, the film does have its share of laughs, as well as a number of fine performances. Lawrence and De Niro are both excellent in their respective roles and have to be seen as strong contenders for awards consideration. And, for their part, Cooper and Weaver handle their characters quite capably as well. However, these assets aren’t enough to save a picture that’s trying to come across as being better than it truly is. Saving ourselves from ourselves is, arguably, one of the most valuable pursuits we can undertake in life, and having a good grasp on our conscious creation skills can go a long way toward this goal’s realization. And, in getting there, it certainly helps to have a playbook to show us the way. Unfortunately, the example set by this film has far too many diversions to set us on a meaningful path to success, and, by following it, those hoped-for silver linings just may remain as elusive as ever.

India’s main opposition party has become thoroughly embroiled in the Cambridge Analytica (CA) voter-manipulation scandal. On March 27, the whistleblower in the case told a committee of the British parliament that CA had done “all kinds of projects” in India and that he believed their client was the Congress party. “I believe their client was Congress but I know that they have done all kinds of projects both regional…I don’t remember a national project, but I know regionally, I mean, India…is so big that, you know, one state can be, you know, as big as Britain,” Christopher Wylie, a Canadian whistleblower who was the former director of research at CA, said while deposing in front of the British Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. “But they do have offices there (in India). They do have staff there. I believe I have some documentation on India which I can also provide if that’s the case,” he added. The Indian National Congress has, however, denied Wylie’s claim. Wylie’s deposition is part of an ongoing investigation against the London-based company that allegedly harvested the data of 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge. Reports had earlier suggested that CA had approached both the BJP and the Congress for the 2014 general elections as well as the upcoming 2019 polls, but nothing had worked out. Even though India was so far not officially named in the scam, it has caused a furore in the country. The fear of Indians’ data being manipulated stems from the fact that the country has Facebook’s largest user base of over 241 million. On March 21, Indian law and information technology minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had warned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg of action if his company had allowed any data theft from the country. “We have got stringent power under the IT Act. We shall use it, including summoning you in India,” Prasad had said. India and CA CA’s website mentions only one project that the company has undertaken in India: Research & Communications Campaign CA was contracted to undertake an in-depth electorate analysis for the Bihar assembly election in 2010. The core challenge was to identify the floating/swing voters for each of the parties and to measure their levels (of) electoral apathy, a result of the poor and unchanging condition of the state after 15 years of incumbent rule. In addition to the research phase, CA were tasked to organise the party base at the village level by creating a communication hierarchy to increase supporter motivation. Our client achieved a landslide victory, with over 90% of total seats targeted by CA being won. In this Bihar election, an alliance led by Janata Dal United (JDU) leader Nitish Kumar had won with a four-fifths majority. Meanwhile, CA’s parent firm, Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL), operates in India through a local partner, Ovlene Business Intelligence (OBI), owned by Amrish Tyagi, son of senior JDU leader KC Tyagi. SCL also has an India arm called Strategic Communication Laboratories Private Limited, The Print reported last week. Incorporated in November 2011, the company’s registered office is in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, and it has four directors: Amrish Kumar Tyagi, Alexander James Ashburner Nix, Alexander Waddington Oakes, and Avneesh Kumar Rai. According to government records, the company’s business includes “legal, accounting, book-keeping and auditing activities; tax consultancy; market research and public opinion polling; business and management consultancy.” Even as India featured just once in Wylie’s deposition, and he did not share any details of CA’s modus operandi in the country, he has doled out enough arsenal for a political war of words. Already, on March 21, Congress communications-in-charge Randeep Surjewala had said that home minister Rajnath Singh had used CA’s services in 2009. Now, after Congress’s name appearing in the whistleblower’s deposition, it will only become uglier.

How laundry care helps to impress your guests Quality laundry care is an important function that can affect the general perception of your hotel and your bottom line. A recent P&G Professional consumer survey revealed that 89 percent of respondents equate soft, bright whites to clean towels and bedding. When linens and towels are perceived as dingy, guests will often complain to the front desk or may even ask to switch rooms. This can make a big impact on overall guest satisfaction and that rate at which a business gains repeat customers, so it’s important to take a look at your on-premise laundry practices to ensure you’re consistently delivering the best results. Laundry care tips and best practices Two priorities that should drive your laundry care operations are efficiency and effectiveness. The following tips emphasize these priorities to help maximize performance, protect linen investments, improve cleaning results, and ultimately, provide hospitality to your guests. Take care of linen inventory. Maintain laundry machines. Select the right detergents. Ensure ideal wash conditions. Load linens properly. Make a good first impression. Green begins with clean. Products that get the job done right the first time, in addition to simpler cleaning routines, were reported as the most helpful elements when it comes to performing cleaning services according to the P&G Professional 2011 “Cleaning Industry Insights” survey. By establishing effective procedures and using the latest innovations in laundry care, hoteliers can decrease operational costs through a reduction in linen replacement costs and labor costs. They can also enjoy the benefit of keeping guests happy by providing bright, white and fresh towels and bedding. This kind of customer satisfaction can lead to repeat business and a “clean” reputation. About Steve KovacsSteve Kovacs is R&D Section Head at P&G Professional, where he leads product development and customer understanding for cleaning product solutions provided for the Hospitality, Healthcare and Building, Cleaning and Maintenance businesses.

Red Robin's "Cry Baby" and "Fiery Ghost" burgers: Where's the fire? Red Robin, home of the juicy, fried-egg and crispy bacon-garnished Royal Red Robin burger, is hot for two new burger styles: "Cry Baby" and "Fiery Ghost." Having already tried much of the Denver-based chain's lineup at Red Robin's Burger Works, I had to find out of these two hottie burgers would fan the flames -- or just get tossed into another fast-casual ash hole. J. Wohletz Red Robin's Fiery Ghost burger. - Red Robin's Burger Works delivers signature dishes in a smaller space - Top five chain-restaurant burgers -- completely naked! I was intrigued by the idea that a popular burger chain would attempt to use the ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia), which is very, very, very hot: somewhere between 855,000 and 1,000,000 Scoville heat units, compared to a typical jalapeño, which falls between 3,500 and 8,000 Scoville heat units. To unleash this much heat on suburban crowds seemed like a fast-track to a class-action lawsuit. J. Wohletz The dining room at Red Robin in Arvada. Here's how Red Robin describes the Fiery Ghost: "The style's star is one of the world's hottest chile peppers -- the ghost pepper, which teams up with both fresh-cut and fried jalapeños atop pepper jack cheese to round out this tour-de-fire." I asked a company spokesman for more details: "Do you have special prep instructions for the cooks at Red Robin so they don't injure themselves with the peppers? (Think eye-burning, finger-burning, fiery finger-poking...) J. Wohletz The Cry Baby burger. "Preparing the Fiery Ghost or Cry Baby burger styles doesn't require the handling of raw ghost peppers," he said. "So no prep procedures are required other than our high standards of quality, safety and sanitation." Hmmmm...so the peppers come in already cooked? In a relish or something? And I had another question: "Have there been any reports so far of customers losing their sh*t, being hauled away in ambulances, or choking from the pepper-heat?" "We have received great feedback from our guests about the Fiery Ghost style and the ghost pepper sauce," he said. "Our goal was to create a flavor profile with the pepper intensity our guests were asking for, but with a balance of ghost pepper spice and the sweet, acidic and salty flavors from the tomato base. In fact, some guests love the sauce so much they have been asking for extra to use as a dipping sauce for their bottomless steak fries." Obviously, I had to try this for myself. So I trekked to the Red Robin location at 7460 West 52nd Avenue in Arvada around 6 p.m. on a weeknight. The place was fairly empty, but still noisy as hell with the "bleep-bleep-pew-pew!" of video game machines and the lilting refrains of the Dave Matthews band -- since '90s music brings the nostalgia for customers while they are waiting for their bottomless fries refills. J. Wohletz Where are the ghost peppers? I hadn't been to a full-service Red Robin in a while, but not much has changed since my last visit a few years back. There are still walls covered with studied eclectic-retro décor, there are still overpriced cocktails in every color of the neon rainbow, and the servers still ask you if you want your burger cooked with "some pink" or "no pink" -- medium or well done, respectively.

We asked Dr. Alicia Tobe from Professional Family Eye Care about Glaucoma and here is what she had to say: Question: What is glaucoma? Answer: Glaucoma is nerve loss on the nerve that connects the eye to the brain that results in gradual, progressive, and painless side vision loss. Not everyone with high eye pressures will develop glaucoma. Some people with low eye pressures will actually develop glaucoma. Q. What causes glaucoma? A: Glaucoma can be inherited. It can also be caused by trauma, severe infection, or severe inflammation of the eye. Q. Who gets glaucoma? A: Risk factors for glaucoma include: - - A family history of glaucoma - A history of an eye injury - Severe nearsightedness - Prescription corticosteroid use - Age - glaucoma most often occurs after 40 years of age - Ethnicity- African Americans and Hispanics have a higher risk Q. How is glaucoma harmful to vision? A: It causes progressive side vision loss which can lead to "tunnel vision" if left untreated. Q. Will I go blind from glaucoma? A: People will usually not go blind from glaucoma IF it is detected in the early stages through regular eye exams. The nerve loss which has already occurred is not reversible. Therefore, catching glaucoma in the early stages is very important for trying to prevent or slow the future nerve and vision loss. Q. How can I tell if I have glaucoma? A: Because of the gradual and painless nature of glaucoma, a person with early stage glaucoma will most likely not notice any vision changes. It can only be detected by a thorough eye exam. Q. How is glaucoma detected? A: Through a comprehensive eye exam and special imaging (Ultrasound-like OCT and visual field testing) instruments. Q. How is glaucoma treated? A: The treatment is most often a topical prescription eye drop. Q. Can glaucoma be prevented? A: Glaucoma cannot be prevented. The most important thing to know about glaucoma is that early detection and treatment through regular eye exams will result in less vision loss.

Hello, my name is Thomas, or Tom. I am 55 years old, married and I have a daughter who just turned 9. I am currently living in the Philippines. I have created this website to make all 7,5 Billion people around the world understand, how important the English language really is. - I was not born in an English speaking country, but I consider English one of two mother tongue languages. Usually most people have one native mother language. Its usually the country they were born.Well in my case its a bit different,since by time I was 7 or 8 years old, we have already moved several times, and I was now learning my 3rd language, which was German. You might be asking, what were the other countries or languages? Well, I was born in the Czech Republic, then my parents decided to seek Asylum in Switzerland.We stayed for 2 years before we moved to Germany. - When I was 15 years old my parents decided to move even further, to British Columbia, Canada! There I spent the next 6 years, and I graduated in Port-Coquitlam, Centennial High school in Vancouver. - From there on my journey just started. What did help me thru out my entire personal but especially my business life, were my language skills! English and Spanish were extremely important. Without these two languages it would have been nearly impossible to do any business in most countries I then lived and had a business. - I personally lived and worked in each of the following countries usually for at least 2-3 years, up to 10 years in others. I always had my own business as an Entrepreneur and depending on the country the business usually varied. - Czech Republic - Dominican Republic - There were many other countries which I visited for a work vacation. You know, when you want to check out a city in a specific country and see what kind of business one can do, or possibly live there, maybe even have a 2nd home. These countries were: - Austria, Switzerland, France, Hungary, Italy, Costa Rica, Panama, and I almost ended up in Istanbul, but faith did not want me to go there then. Some other places like Nicaragua, Abu Dhabi and many others were I only stayed for a a couple of nights. So it is my mission for many years living here in Asia, and with this website to make people all around the world understand that languages,especially ENGLISH is a vital part of business, but also often becomes even more important in ones personal life! Since without my English, I would have never met my wife! COMMUNICATION is key in learning and getting to know other people. - Nothing is more important then being able to communicate with other cultures and/or its people. I personally got into, lets call them “issues” because the people or person I thought understood enough English to get my point, did not understand me at all. Sad to say that these things happen to a lot of people all around the world. Sometimes, lets say on a few occasions, I don’t even understand my wife. This after being married for almost 10 years! Ups, better not tell her! Thanks. Learning English with NYC English, an app that did cost 2,6 Million US, must have its advantages, believe me. There is nothing that compares to NYC English Take action NOW and start learning in the next 24 hours! CHANGE your life by learning US English with the NYC app! WHAT are YOU waiting for? GET THE APP NOW! Just click HERE , and you will,be directed to the NYC store, where you can decide which Level is BEST for YOU. Thank YOU! The following books I am recommending to all children above 9/10 years old and certainly every parent who would like another point of view about HOW the world has changed when it comes to Jobs and financial success. RICH DAD/POOR DAD is an absolute must. Thanks “Formal education makes a living, but self-education makes a fortune,” Jim Rohn explained.

Small pitted green olives – the bottled martini type – are transformed into a savory sauce in no time. We like the tuna rare, but if you prefer it well-done, cook it a few minutes longer. The richness of the tuna and saltiness of the tapenade are delightful accompanied by a light, fruity red – a Côtes-du-Rhône from Southern France or a barbera from Italy. - 1/2 cup pitted green olives - 1/3 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley with thick stems removed - 1 clove garlic, smashed - 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste - 7 tablespoons olive oil - 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper - 1 pound tuna steak, about 2 inches thick, cut into 3-inch squares - 3/4 pound linguine In a food processor or blender, pulse the olives, parsley and garlic to a coarse puree with the anchovy paste, 6 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Put three-quarters of the mixture in a large bowl. Heat a grill pan or heavy frying pan over moderate heat. Coat the tuna with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna. Let sit for 3 minutes. The fish will be rare. Cut it into 1/4-inch slices. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the linguine, add it and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the bowl with the olive mixture, and toss. If the sauce seems too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water. Mound the pasta on plates and top with the tuna. Spoon the remaining olive mixture on top. Recipe reprinted by permission of Food and Wine.

There are few places in Britain more likely to spark excitement in a photographer than the New Forest National Park. Everywhere you look there are a plethora of colours, textures and subjects just waiting to be snapped. Many photographers choose to visit the area time and time again, never tiring of the myriad of tones or the natural beauty on show, but if you have never been, here are five reasons why a trip would be well worth your while. The Pictures Take Themselves The New Forest makes the job of an amateur photographer easy. It is almost more difficult to take a bad shot than it is to take a good one. This is an area where the sheer scope on offer leads to problems deciding what snaps will make it into a final collection rather than any difficulties choosing a subject. Find out more about what’s on offer by visiting the New Forest National Park website at newforestnpa.gov.uk/info/20001/visiting. Standing amid the National Park, it can feel as if you are snapping away on a different planet, so remote can it make you feel. Yet the area is dotted with amenity-laden hamlets, towns and villages, not to mention bustling cities such as Southampton and Portsmouth just a short hop down the road. You could also arrange to have a number of your friends come along with you wearing kitking football kits or other Discount Football Kits and take some action shots in the beautiful surroundings of the forest. There are a plethora of facilities enjoyed by visitors from across the world, and yet it is simple to find a spot where you can feel like the only photographer in the world. Start planning where is best to make your base by visiting the official New Forest website at thenewforest.co.uk/accommodation. The Changing Seasons Professional photographers working in the area, never get bored of snapping away in the New Forest. They know that not only will each season brings about a whole new world of photographic opportunities, but a single day will offer the same. It only takes a moment to stumble upon a mare and her foal or an exquisite plant that has popped up to greet the sun. The Natural Environment The contrasts offered by the New Forest will be apparent from the moment you arrive. The coppery-brown brush creates almost a lunar landscape, especially when compared to the lush greenery and soaring height of the forest itself. There are few places in Britain that offer such a varied range of wildlife photography options – particularly locations that are so easily accessible from all corners of England. The forest inevitably attracts a huge array of birds and smaller creatures, but there is also a plethora of deer and ponies to capture both your heart and your imagination. William the Conqueror originally allocated his Nova Forestra as his hunting ground over 900 years ago, but there are many places where it is easy to believe that time has simply stood still. This makes it an area where timeless natural beauty can collide with modern-day photographic equipment to create pictures that will live on in memories long after your visit has ended.

NEW YORK -- New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider will not play Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers after sustaining a hand injury. He will not accompany the Rangers on their four-game road trip following the game. Kreider sustained the injury Friday in a 3-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He had one assist in two games after that before being shut down. The injury will be evaluated in the next few days, according to coach Alain Vigneault, who did not rule out surgery. "We're still in the process at this time of evaluating our course of action here," Vigneault said. "We will know here in the next couple of days." Forward Martin St. Louis will take Kreider's spot on New York's top line alongside Derek Stepan and Rick Nash. St. Louis and Stepan each struggled with the flu during a 4-3 overtime win against the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday, but appeared to be fine during the morning skate Wednesday. "I feel better now, got a little more energy back. It was a nasty little bug, but I'm glad it's gone," said Stepan, who is looking forward to playing between St. Louis and Nash. "It's going to be pretty cool for me to be able to play with them. I hope to learn some things and build some chemistry." Nash has some previous experience playing with St. Louis. The two played together for Davos in the Spengler Cup during the 2004-05 NHL work stoppage and were teammates on the Canada team that won gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Defenseman John Moore skated for the first time since sustaining a concussion against Columbus but will not play. Forward Daniel Carcillo sat out practice with an illness, and forward J.T. Miller was recalled from the American Hockey League, where he has enjoyed recent success, with two goals and 11 points in his past nine games. The Rangers lead the Flyers by one point for second place in the Metropolitan Division, although the Flyers have two games in hand. Philadelphia has lost seven straight at MSG, last winning there Feb. 20, 2011. "I don't think I've won a game here yet in six years of my NHL career. Hopefully I'll break that tonight," Flyers forward Jakub Voracek said. "It's a tough building to play in. The fans get into it pretty good. It's fun to play those games." Here are the projected lineups: Injured: Steve Downie (upper body) |Back to top|

|A view of destruction in Tokyo, seen from the top of the Imperial Hotel, which was the only hotel in the region that survived the 1923 earthquake. (USGS/George A. Lang Collection) See more archival images of the Kanto Earthquake.| As if it had slid suddenly into a sea of tossing, choppy waves, the coach pitched up and down, lurched drunkenly from side to side. The passengers clung to the seats. ‘Why the devil doesn’t the fool stop the train?’ growled the Englishman opposite me. But we were already slowing down. ‘Jishin!’ (earthquake) yelled a Japanese, pointing out of the window. I glanced out just as the stone face of an embankment shot down over the tracks. It did not slide or tumble down: it literally shot down, as if compelled by a sudden, gigantic pressure from the top, the stones spreading in a twinkling over the wide right-of-way. A four-story concrete building vanished, disintegrated in the flash of an eye. Tiles cascaded with precipitate speed from the roofs. The one predominating idea that struck the mind was the almost incredible rapidity of the destruction. The conductor came to the front of the car, doffed his cap, scorning to let even an earthquake interfere with courtesy. ‘I’m sorry. This train will not proceed further toward Yokohama.’ We got out on the tracks. The inhabitants of Omori, a suburb of Tokyo, were flocking out on the right-of-way, seeking the safety it afforded from falling debris. ‘No wonder we can’t go on.’ The Englishman pointed to the track in front of us, the rails shimmering with snake-like undulations in the sunlight. We compared notes and found that we were both going to Kamakura, the seaside resort thirty-six miles from Tokyo. Twelve miles farther on lay Yokohama, where we expected to pick up a motor-car; but we hoped to find one in one of the numerous villages which form a chain between that city and Tokyo. Another tremor shook the Earth, more tiles flopped down and cracks appeared with instantaneous suddenness in the houses. Still, most of them showed little damage. Omori was one of the few favored spots where the shock was comparatively merciful – still, at the time, we thought we must be at the centre of the disturbance. That was one of the outstanding impressions on the minds of all men in the vast area affected by the quake; each thought at the moment that the damage must be confined to that particular region in which he found himself. Tokyo was certain that Yokohama was safe. The people of Yokohama thought to find Tokyo a haven of safety. All were sure that the country districts beyond the cities must be all right. We walked along the tracks, stopping, tense, nervous, whenever a fresh vibration shook the earth, ready for flight somewhere, and yet desperate in the sickening realization that there could be safety nowhere when the very earth had refused the refuge from which one has a right to demand from it. ‘We had better hurry. There’s a typhoon coming.’ The Englishman pointed ahead. ‘Look at that.’ A huge cloud had appeared, rolling up swiftly into the clear blue – an uncanny thing, dense to the point where it seemed ponderous, dull brown and black, shot with sulphur, sinister, menacing. The Tamagawa River, which divides the two prefectures of which Tokyo and Yokohama are the principal cities, formed also the dividing line between the two distinct phases of the disaster. Behind us, Tokyo suffered shocks of far less severity than those which devastated Yokohama, the principal damage being wrought by the fires which, immediately following it, swept devouringly through the capital. Yokohama, on the other hand, was smashed, utterly ruined by the shock. The flames merely reduced ruins to ashes, brought death to those who had been wounded or lay pinned under debris. Throughout the entire stricken area strange pranks of the quake had left some localities relatively unpunished, while others, scattered among the former, were flattened and shattered. It seemed as if the movement must be wave-like, smiting with greatest force the points touched by the crests of its billows. The massive buttresses supporting the railroad bridge across the Tamagawa had been twisted, rocked out of place, and the tracks hung fantastically suspended between them. Oddly, a slight foot-bridge, formed by two widths of boards, was almost intact. We hurried across, the one thought in control being: what if another shock should catch us while on this bridge? We had to jump from the bridge to the embankment. It had sunk, split, and shattered, one set of twisted tracks being more than six feet above the other. On the right was a mound of bricks, a huge, confused pile, with great beams and splintered wood protruding haphazardly – the remains of the greater part of the Meiji sugar factory. Beyond it, the remainder of the building was wrapped in flames, seething up toward the top story, where, exposed, it seemed almost indecently, and stripped of the walls which had hidden them, stood three vacuum pans, great boiler-like affairs, as if disdainfully unconcerned with the destruction creeping up toward them. Farther on was the large square ferro-concrete building of an electric-light plant, one side smashed in, but still holding together, resembling a battered pasteboard box. But no one was to be seen about the buildings. It struck the mind, uneasily, that surely human beings, scores of the hundreds of workmen crowding these factories when the shock struck them, must be lying, imprisoned, somewhere under these piles of debris. But the streams of people on the tracks flowed on, both ways, stopping for a moment to view the destruction and offer brief comment, but continuing on, each one governed entirely by the thoughts uppermost in his mind – escape from the holocaust, anxiety to learn the fate of dear ones. It seemed impossible that any inanimate manifestation of nature could be so insanely malicious as was the shock which smote Kawasaki, a large village just on the Yokohama side of the river. The houses, most of them two-storied, frail wooden structures with paper windows, crowned with roofs of heavy tiles, had not only been smashed, but had been torn apart, rended into splintered beams and raveled and torn fragments of boards, jumbled together, as if they had been battered by a gigantic flail. They had been thrown in every direction, backwards, against each other, in the street. The most diabolical intent could have produced no more stupendous result. The part of the village nearest Yokohama had suffered far less. Many houses were only partly damaged. The stock of an earthenware dealer was almost intact, tier upon tier of gayly decorated dishes, rice-bowls, saki-cups, standing immaculately precise and orderly on their shelves under a roof which had been knocked drunkenly askew. A little farther on, a woman was busy in a half-ruined cake-shop, making ready for business while the earth was still trembling. The heat became unbearably oppressive, stinging the throat with a dryness unfamiliar in Japan, where the curse of the heat is ordinarily its excessive moisture. We stopped at a small shop. The rear was down, but in the front sat the woman in charge, discussing the earthquake, it seemed almost languidly, with no more concern than if it had been an unusually heavy rainstorm. Yes, she had beer, Kirin beer; was that all right? It was not very cold. She was very sorry. Now, where was the opener? She hunted about in the confusion, showing more annoyance at the disappearance of the trivial instrument than at the other consequences of the disaster. Finally she found it, brought glasses, served us, with the usual courteous phrases. And the price was as usual, forty-five sen. In the course of my long wanderings throughout the devastated area, on that day and on those following, I saw or heard of no instance of profiteering among the common people. Even the last bottle, the last candle, the last bit of fruit, were sold at ordinary prices, even before martial law made profiteering an offense. It was not thought of. A couple of Japanese, clerks evidently, entered. ‘You had better not go to Yokohama,’ they advised. ‘Yokohama is gone, and now she is burning. That’ – they pointed to the huge cloud which was now rolling up, ever closer, so that it now hung low over us – that’s the smoke from the oil tanks. The whole city is burning.’ Of course, this must be an exaggeration. That the Japanese section should be wiped out was natural; they burn so easily, these frail collections of wood and paper; but that the foreign settlement, the streets upon streets of solid buildings of brick and concrete, should be destroyed was unthinkable. Still, as we pressed on, scattered fires became more numerous; presently, at Higashikanagawa, entire blocks were burning. It became necessary to make detours to avoid them. Finally we were forced back to the refuge of the railway tracks. There they sat, the inhabitants, in groups, each family guarding the household goods which it had snatched up in flight. Futon, padded quilts, predominated, but all manner of other goods might be seen, even shoji, the latticed paper-covered doors and windows, and chests of drawers. The quietness was striking. There was no wailing; they conversed in low tones; but generally they sat silent, staring at the destruction. One admired their stoicism, the spirit which had made the shikataganai, ‘it can’t be helped’ phrase, almost the Japanese national motto. There was no confusion, no crying out; even the children were hushed. But the attitude had its tremendous disadvantage. It was also apathy. Men sat stolidly and watched fires creep onward, which they might in many cases have stopped with little effort. They might have saved entire blocks had they tried, had they had a little leadership. There was another conspicuous feature, the utter lack of leadership. The Japanese official, in ordinary life ubiquitous and often obnoxious with his fussy exactions, seemed to have vanished from the earth—even the police. It is the fault of Japanese officialdom that it can act only according to prescribed routine, hide-bound regulations. There were no rules regarding handling of such earthquakes, no precedents. So the people, accustomed to act only under leadership, remained inactive, and the officials, who should have taken charge, were out of sight – and the fire spread on, unchecked. The station-master had received authentic news. Yes, Yokohama was entirely destroyed, and Tokyo was in flames. Look! We looked back. From the direction of Tokyo vast clouds were curling and spiraling into the sky, miles high. This point, beyond which a wall of fire blocked ingress into Yokohama, became a clearing-house for reports from the two cities, and from the countryside beyond. Yes, Yokosoka, the great naval station was a total wreck, and Kakamura. What! Kakamura, eighteen miles beyond Yokohama? I thought of my son, twelve years old, commonly known as ‘The Shrimp.’ Until this moment I had regarded him as safe, as a matter of course, in the big foreign villa on the Kamakura beach, where we lived with the rest of a bachelors’ mess. It becomes habit with the foreigner in Japan to regard the great mass misfortunes – fires, floods, typhoons – as something affecting almost entirely the Japanese only. They are always the ones to suffer, with their flimsy houses. We regarded these things with the intense sympathy accorded less fortunate fellow beings, but impersonally.

As L.A. agency execs chase a burst of new business after a long, dry spell, they're asking whether the cumbersome, early round process is worth the trouble. 'The business climate is tougher, clients are seemingly uncomfortable with making decisions capriciously and are hiring a bevy of consultants and trying to ferret out every detail about every agency,' said Mendelsohn/Zien, L.A. president Richard Zien. After a long wave of quiet, reviews for five major accounts emerged simultaneously: $15-20 million HomeBase, $10-15 million Baskin-Robbins, $10-million Secure Horizons, $8-10 million Sega of America and $25-30 million First Interstate Bank. HomeBase and B-R issued in-depth questionnaires to oodles of shops, while Secure Horizons requested extensive samples of creative. All five clients are using review consultants. Agency execs aren't disputing questionnaires in general. But the odds of making initial cuts are dwindling compared to the time it takes to complete the current questionnaires. Copyright Adweek L.P.

Alica Heráková: Local elections and the Romani political scene - who will succeed? A year ago we were voting for the Czech Parliament, this past May we voted for the European Parliament, and ahead of us, in this superelectoral year of 2014, we now have elections to municipal councils and the Senate. In addition to victories by the left and the success of Andrej Babiš, the current results point to one more fact: The Romani political scene is forming and rearranging itself, but it has not yet succeeded in earning success. Why is this? What does the Romani political scene look like in the runup to the local elections, and why don't Romani people vote? Roma for Roma Last year's parliamentary elections confirmed the opinions of political scientists and some Romani figures that a Romani political group has no chance at national level here. Neither the Equal Opportunities Party (Strana rovných příležitostí - SRP) nor the Romani Democratic Party (Romská demokratická strana - RDS) succeeded, neither in the Czech nor in the European Parliamentary elections. "A minority party can never become a representative of the majority," says political scientist Maxmilián Strmiska concisely. However, it was also a disappointment that a majority party that joined with a Romani one failed (the Greens and the SRP) and that individual Romani candidates failed also (e.g., David Beňák, who ran for the Czech Social Democrats in Prague 14). Even 29-year-old David Tišer, the number three candidate for the Green Party in the Plzeň Region, did not succeed despite running a campaign that was funny and well-managed from a marketing perspective in which entire Romani families openly supported him on social networking sites. In short, it was not enough for him to win office. The specifics of local elections It is known that voters behave very specifically during local elections. The candidates are closer to them, the voters often know them, and the problems the candidates might solve for the voters affect them personallly. That is why voters in municipal council elections often vote according to their own experience with a given candidate, rather than according to political parties and sympathy for their leaders or how the party a candidate represents behaves in the region. From that perspective, local elections should be bastions of local groups offering to solve local problems, for Romani residents and all other citizens, but even though the regions are actually buzzing with new movements and parties on the model of Babiš's "Ano, bude líp" ("Yes, it's getting better"), this is not the case on the Romani political scene. Crushing forces in the regions The two Romani political parties, the RDS and SRP, who mobilized for the Czech and European Parliament elections, seem to have run out of air in the runup to the local elections. The chair of the SRP, Miroslav Kováč, is a candidate in Postoloprty and the former chair of the SRP is on the "Solutions for Prague" (Řešení pro Prahu) slate. However, both of these parties lack candidates in localities such as Duchcov, Krupka or Přerov. Local leaders with informal political mandates in those places, were they to run, could get an opportunity to convince the voters that they are there on the scene and will solve the acute problems linked to poverty or social exclusion there. Those places where Romani people are candidates all share the common feature of political obscurity. Romani people from the Chánov housing estate, for example, are all running under the rubric of the "Association of the Czech Sovereignty political party and independent candidates", led by Jana Volfová and calling itself "Mosters for Most" (Mostečané Mostu). Not only is this practically the same name as the party of the current leadership of the town (The Association of Mosters for Most - Sdružení Mostečané Mostu), but even more controversially, the group is linked to Jana Volfová. As an example, let's recall the 2012 slogan of the party she currently leads: "The inadaptables will not dictate to us!" Today Volfová no longer looks down her nose at the Roma of Chánov. "We don't discriminate against anyone. We are giving an opportunity to anyone who wants to run," she told the daily Mostecký Deník. Controversy is also being sparked by Romani figures such as Rastislav Lučanský, who led the RDS in the EP elections and who is running in the October local elections in Brno for the "Moravians" (Moravané) movement. He drew attention to himself, after his failure in the EP elections, by making negative, stereotypical remarks about Romani people. Lučanský ultimately retracted his remarks after being criticized for them. However, his candidacy for the "Moravians" is yet another misstep, as during the parliamentary elections their members ran on the candidate lists of the Úsvit (Dawn of Direct Democracy) movement, led by Tomio Okamura. As Lučanský told news server Romea.cz, he sees no problem with that. The Moravians ran on the Úsvit list as independents and allegedly do not share the xenophobic opinions of its leader. Competence of the candidates The figure of Lučanský opens up another big chapter in the book of "The Romani Political Scene before Local Elections," that of candidate competence. The media outputs or television debate performances of these candidates often reveal weaknesses in presenting arguments, ignorance of decision-making processes, or an inability to control emotions. Unfortunately, this concerns most of the representatives of the Romani political parties mentioned above. Who, then, could transform such a negative image of the Romani political representation? Logically, the (very often more educated) younger generation comes to mind. On the one hand these are Romani people involved in majority-society parties, such as Lucie Horváthová, who led the candidate list for the Greens in the Pardubice Region, or 18-year-old Ondřej Provazník running for ANO in Prostějov. A project by the Romani women's group Manushe, part of the Slovo 21 organization, is also not without interest, as it trains Romani college women for a future career in politics. Here, however, we run into two basic problems influencing the success of Romani candidates in elections today. The first problem is the fact that the necessary generational change has not yet taken place on the Romani political scene in the Czech Republic. Those who are heard and seen are primarily figures from the 1990s, entrepreneurs or figures representing families. These figures are primarily men around the age of 50. In Czech politics this is a classic gender stereotype and it is even more strongly pronounced for Romani candidates. Younger, purely civically engaged candidates with educations, with knowledge of the regional political environment and with some experience of public life - for example, through activism - are promoting themselves only slowly and are exceptional, individual cases. The problem is not, however, that there are not enough educated Romani people in the younger generation. Politics and the building of a career in it is, in short, a very specific area. It requires, first and foremost, decision-making supported by extensive knowledge, high self-confidence and willingness to engage, and a clear idea of what should be done and, primarily, how it should be done or changed. That's quite a lot. Politics, in short, requires a high degree of competence, and it requires even more from Romani candidates, as they are under constant scrutiny. For young Romani figures who have already decided on political careers, it would help if they could manage to connect with some sort of message for their generation, a marketing one, not a political one - and not just in connection with the upcoming local elections. They must manage to get attention and, primarily, to actively work on a campaign among the Roma themselves, as that is where the main stumbling block lies when it comes to Romani candidates' (lack of) success in elections. A question of supply and demand "The elections? No, I'm not interested," says 28-year-old Marika, a Romani woman on maternity leave, with a laugh. "I don't know why, it just doesn't interest me," she says, shrugging her shoulders. Her attitude in many ways reflects the approach taken by Romani people to politics here. It is hard to blame Romani people, many of whom have never achieved the necessary education, for failing to understand the civic principle and for being passive, especially when voter turnout is constantly falling among the majority society as well. The civic principle is not anchored in Czech society and it will take a long time to build it in connection to politics. Having said this, the situation for Romani people here is alarming and much depends on changing it. Romani people do not trust a system that is represented by the gadje and their institutions. This has been determined by historical experience, as such systems have always worked against Romani people, who have been segregated within them and learned, therefore, to survive on their edges. Moreover, for many people, politics is a world that is far away from their problems, and with respect to candidates, very often relations in the community between various families and groups play a role. Understanding these facts, and having the ability to work with them in a practical, simple way, will be a key factor in the success of every Romani candidate or political party in these elections. This work is best done precisely during local elections in the regions. A contact campaign made to order for a given locality, winning the support of important figures in the community, basic marketing skills and, without a doubt, acceptability to and sympathy for most Romani people - those are the characteristics that separate a successful Romani political candidate from the rest. Whether this will happen in the upcoming elections remains to be seen - for now, we can only guess. - Romani activist will seek to become chair of Progressive Slovakia party - Czech ombudsman "likes" racist post on Facebook, refuses to answer questions about what that means - Czech ombudsman attacks volunteer members of the Government's Council on Roma, alleges the Romani minority is "inactive" and "just anybody" speaks for them - Irena Biháriová: I will not let the extremists own the streets - Dozens of heads of state and government honoring the memory of Holocaust victims at Auschwitz Memorial today - Slovakia: Romani people protest against Fascists in the east - Czech MPs pass over ultra-right party's candidate for Czech News Agency board in favor of Pirates' pick - Czech politician misquotes meeting with Romani residents of at-risk housing estate, they correct the record - Slovakia: Café Európa discusses underrepresentation of Romani people in politics - Czech President and Senate may both nominate former Human Rights Commissioner for Deputy Ombudswoman - Miroslav Kováč, former chair of the Equal Opportunities Party in the Czech Republic, has passed away after a long illness - Czech candidate for party that used racist slogan now works for new group aiding Roma

I remember seeing this on a blog about a million years ago and thinking it was a cute idea, so here goes nothing. The first ten thoughts that pop into my mind. 1. David and I are watching Vampire Diaries right now. I like this show a lot more than I ever thought I would. 2. Polly and Walter, our flamingo and parrot friends, will probably be staying with us year long. They’re just so cute. I think I’ll add little Trick or Treat bags to them for Halloween, Santa hats for Christmas, etc. 3. I wonder if there’s something I can do with all the leis leftover from David’s birthday party. I don’t see us having another luau party soon, and it seems like a waste to throw them all away. Maybe there’s some weird way to repurpose them. 4. I ate the last of our strawberry cream cheese today, and I’m really unhappy about that. Looks like I’ll be making a Wal Mart stop tomorrow. 5. From where I am sitting right now, I can see nine books about cats. One is a picture book my grandmother got me a year or so ago, four are books about caring for cats, one is an encyclopedia of all the different types of cats, one is a picture book explaining a cat’s body language, and one is a funny book of cat thoughts or something. 6. I spent four dollars at Dollar General last weekend buying all the rain scented candles that were in the clearance aisle. 7. I’m pretty sure I need a hair cut. 8. David is wearing the pajamas he wore the morning he proposed to me. Yes, he proposed in his pajamas. It was probably the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life. 9. Last night, David asked me if he was gross. I said, “You’re only gross in that you leave your dirty socks everywhere for me to find when I’m cleaning.” He thought for a second, then replied, “That’s not gross, that’s cute.” How does he make everything he does charming? 10. I really, really can’t wait for Sons of Anarchy to start back up in the fall. There you have it!

In the third book, Tidings of Murder and Woe, Anna is looking forward to a happy Christmas when her new friend, the CEO of a big oil company, starts receiving anonymous death threats. Cathy has also written two romances. The Affairs of Harriet Walters, Spinster, is an historical novel about a spinster whose life is turned upside when she is sent to live with a persnickety aunt after her father's death. The Dating Do-Over is a contemporary romantic comedy about a thirtyish school teacher with a sympathetic heart and lousy taste in men. Cathy is also the author of 2 short story collections, Tall Tales Twin-Pack, Mysteries, and Tall Tales Twin-Pack, Science Fiction & Fantasy. Connect with her online: on Sep. 18, 2014 : The tagline - "It takes a witch to catch a ghost" - sums up the novel well, although don't get the wrong idea that it's your average horror-story material. It is a well-written suspenseful mystery with enough drama, romance, and thrills to keep me entertained from chapter to chapter. Cathy's writing and attention to detail made it easy for me to get invested in the characters and stay emerged in the story. The story is set in a small town where everybody knows one another, which in itself made the book really interesting for me. I enjoyed learning about each character's relationship to one another and the history that got them to where they are in the present. The book is also set in October, right before Halloween, in crisp Autumn weather - making this the perfect time to read the book. It's aptly described as a "cozy mystery" and was a great read while cuddled up and sipping spiced apple tea. I highly recommend this book, especially to read in the Fall season. It was hard to put down! (reviewed 35 days after purchase) on Aug. 23, 2014 : If you only get to read one book this year... Let it be this one! Cathy has put together the perfect ratio of romance, suspicion, fear and anticipation! We follow Anna Nolan on a wild journey in her otherwise quite quiet life. (She's had a few hiccups in the past, but who hasn't?!) Anna lives in a quiet small town that's about to have a good story to tell. I fell in love with the elderly characters in this story! Such sweet older women, full of life, they drew you in! The men in this town all seem quite respectful. Something that's lacking in my town! This story opens in a cemetery. With a drunk. And a ghost. Don't turn away! I'm glad I didn't! You get to meet Sherman, the Grounds Keeper with a secret. I fell in love with him! His family issues are well known around town. He can't run from them. So he drinks. You really feel for this guy. Next you meet Anna, she loves pretty much alone. Her son comes home from school on the weekends and she's got a great dog, but her love interest lives quite far away. Then you meet several others; an intriguing brother/sister couple who are wrapped up in all things supernatural, a couple of old ladies who are just too perfect! The local police. A few nosy neighbors... And a ghost! Really, this book was hard to put down. I'd recommend it, highly. I found myself anticipating the next move. I even got goosebumps a couple of times! The ending was quite unexpected. As you feel like you've got this all wrapped up, Spencer throws in a surprise. This is a great read. Go download it to your library. You'll finish it in a weekend, I'm sure! (reviewed 4 days after purchase)

IRVINE – When Andrew Keith and Sandra Parker decided to marry, they wanted it to be special – what bride and groom don't? Memorable and different, too. Which helps explain how they ended up covered in mud, surrounded by a few thousand strangers, running through the Great Park on Saturday. Keith, a 55-year-old chiropractor, and Parker, a 48-year-old dentist, went for a Saturday morning run on their very first date not that many months ago. Keith has run everything from marathons to mud runs for the past 15 years. Parker took up running seriously about two years ago. Last year, Parker ran the Gladiator Rock'n Run, a mud run with extra obstacles, as a bridesmaid for a friend who ran it in a wedding dress, announcing at the end of the race that "next year I want to be the bride." The Gladiator Rock'n Run, an event founded by former "American Gladiator" Dan "Nitro" Clark, came back to Orange County this year, and Keith and Parker knew they had the location for their wedding. Clad in an $8 wedding dress from the Goodwill, Parker was attended by bridesmaids also in $8 thrift-store finds. The wedding party was cheered on by the crowd along the course. Their invitations carried on in the spirit of fun that the couple so clearly shares, explaining in verse how the wedding would take place: "Some say it's fast, we say it's slow/Our love has grown – they just don't know/And so we continue at our own pace/Off to get married in a Mud Run Race."

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- A Transportation Department study released Thursday urged airport managers to take steps to give better access to small carriers. Transportation Department General Counsel Nancy McFadden highlighted the report in testimony before a House Transportation subcommittee on aviation. Executives of several small carriers told the panel Wednesday that airport managers have regularly stymied efforts to gain access to gates and other facilities. They also criticized large carriers of attempting to drive new entrants off of routes by slashing prices and upping capacity. The study said airport managers must become advocates for increased competition and charged them with closely monitoring how airlines use their gate allotments. In particular, the study's "best practices" recommendations said managers should invoke a "use-it-or-lose-it" rule that would allow them to reassign gates if carriers don't fully utilize them. Among other best practices, the study urged managers to monitor sub-lease agreements to make sure fees remain reasonable. Airports should also seek to provide clear guidelines and timelines that will let new entrants know when they can begin operations. The small carriers said the advent of "hub-and-spoke" air travel networks has added obstacles to new routes. Airport managers took exception to the Transportation Department study, charging that unrestrained merger activity in the airline sector is largely at fault for any constraints on competition. David Plavin, president of the Airports Council International, criticized the regulator for "shifting the onus" for promoting competition to airports, while "sitting on" its own proposals that would more broadly define anticompetitive tactics by major airlines. Transportation Department policy "has encouraged consolidation in the form of mergers throughout the domestic industry -- they have never met a merger the didn't like." The department unveiled proposed rules in May 1998 that would give itself authority to investigate alleged anticompetitive practices when a major airline adds capacity and sells a large number of seats at extremely low fares, carries more local passengers at a new entrant's low fares than the new entrant's total seat capacity, or carries more local passengers at the new entrant's low fares than the new entrant carries at low fares. The Justice Department, meanwhile, filed an antitrust suit against American Airlines AMR, -6.74% in May, charging that it slashed fares and boosted capacity in order to drive tiny Vanguard Airlines vngd off of routes out of Dallas. American Airlines has vowed to fight the charges. See archived story. Predatory pricing under current antitrust laws is notoriously difficult to prove, however. The Transportation Department rules would more broadly define anticompetitive tactics. Meanwhile, the Air Transport Association of America, the main lobbying group for major air carriers, renewed its criticism of the proposed rules. ATA legislative affairs chief Edward A. Merlis said the rules unfairly make certain actions illegal if they're committed by an experienced airline but not if they're committed by a new entrant. The rules would also require airlines to have information about their competitors plans before they discount ticket prices, Merlis said. Referring to the suit against American, Merlis said recent Justice Department actions "indicate that the department feels it has adequate authority to act in this area -- without the imposition of the proposed guidelines." McFadden said there are encouraging signs on the competition front, noting that some low-fare airlines, including Vanguard, Frontier frnt and Airtran AAIR, -41.67% have started to earn profits while expanding their operations.

Da, da, da dum…4:8AM, Oct 9, 2013 Music is a major part of a wedding day. From the walk down to the aisle to the first dance, the songs you pick speak volumes of your relationship. So whether you’re really into tunes, or don’t actually care and just want your guests to get down on the dance floor, we have your playlist, sorted. Be inspired by celebrity first dance spins. Joel Madden and Nicole Richie - 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong Kate Middleton and Prince William - 'Your Song' by Elton John (performed by Ellie Goulding) David Beckham and Victoria Adams - 'It Had To Be You' by The Starlight Orchestra Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato - 'Everybody Loves Somebody' by Dean Martin Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth - 'Make You Feel My Love' by Bob Dylan Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel - 'A Song for You' by Donny Hathaway Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan - 'Last Night on Earth' performed live by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong Kate Moss and Jamie Hince - 'If There Is Something' by Roxy Music President Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson - 'You and I' by Stevie Wonder Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi - 'Ribbon in the Sky' by Stevie Wonder Fergie and Josh Duhamel - 'Sweethearts Together' by The Rolling Stones Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley - 'Heavenly Day' by Patti Griffin Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman - 'No One's Gonna Love You' by Band of Horses Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan - 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette - 'Forever In My Life' by Prince Billy Joel and Katie Lee - 'Moon River' by Audrey Hepburn Lauren Bush and David Lauren - 'Vanishing Breed' By Michael Martin Murphey TIP: If you’re not sure where to start a playlist - download the Shazam app, and start downloading songs as you hear them on the spot. In a couple of months, your playlist will be done! TIP: Always have a backup. If you’re using an iPod on the night, remember they can run out of battery in a few hours. Borrow friends and add your playlists. You can never be too prepared! A song for every moment Walking down the aisle 'First Day of My Life' by Bright Eyes 'Marry Me' by Train 'Feels Likes Home' by Chantal Kreviazuk 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars 'Hallelujah' by Ben Harper 'Pachelbel's Canon in D' by J. Pachelbel 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' by Stevie Wonder 'Happy Together' by The Turtles 'Beautiful Day' by U2 'Together Forever' by Rick Astley Entering the reception 'Everlasting Love' by Love Affair 'Crazy In Love' by Beyoncé 'This Will Be' by Natalie Cole 'If I Ain’t Got You' by Alicia Keys 'You Are So Beautiful' by Joe Cocker 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' by Death Cab for Cutie 'Making Memories Of Us' by Keith Urban 'Crazy Love' by Michael Bublé 'More Than Words' by Extreme 'Your Song' by Elton John 'Unforgettable' by Nat King Cole 'The Way You Look Tonight' by Tony Bennett 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' by Elton John 'Stand By Me' by Ben E.

What are your best tips for wedding music? Keep the dinner music chilled and classy so people can feel at ease while they eat and get to know their table mates. And don’t pick anything too obscure! It’s always a vibe-killer. Your wedding is not the time to dazzle people with your enigmatic taste in music. When the drinks are flowing, and moves are busted on the d-floor, your guests will want the classics and the pop tunes they can all sing and groove along to. What time should the music start ramping up? “Right after the first dance everyone is gathered around the dance floor. This shouldn't happen too early or too late in the evening, leaving a good two hours for dancing before the venue kicks you out generally gives people enough time to feel like they've had a satisfying groove session. How important is volume? Very! It's important to strike a balance between those who want to let loose on the dance floor, and those who want to chat at the tables. You need to keep in mind that it's not a night club, it’s important to keep the noise at a manageable level so everyone is happy. What is your ultimate floor filler tune? I'm continually surprised at what songs suddenly fills the floor, but the most consistent song that makes people want to shake their money maker isBlame It On The Boogieby The Jackson Five. What is the coolest first dance song you’ve seen? It was 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The Room' by Flight of The Conchords. A hilarious but surprisingly beautiful song. The couple had a great sense of humour. TIP: Communication is key. As a general note, it's important to let your DJ know what you like (and also what you absolutely don't want to hear.) Many brides and grooms overlook the music but it’s something that can really take your wedding from a nice event, to an awesome party that the guests talk about for years to come.

Is this true? But, most of the articles about the “hyena cure” feature an expert source called “Dr. Habeb,” an entrepreneur who runs a widely-advertised chain of lunatic asylums in Somalia. Dr. Habeb (he actually only is a nurse) is clearly your go-to guy for a punchy quote about how bad mental health care is in Somalia. (It’s bad. Also, according to Dr. Habeb, so is mental health in Somalia. There appears to be a lot of insanity, whether PTSD from all the violence, or from all the khat-chewing, or maybe it’s a culturally-sanctioned way to act out.) Hyenas look sort of like dogs (although much less so than jackals), but they are more closely related to the mongoose. They are famous for being sexually obscure and having dominant females. (Thus, in The Lion King, the male hyenas, voiced by Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings, are subordinate to Whoopi Goldberg.) The idea that hyenas and insanity are somehow related has been around for a long time. Gericault painted a portrait in 1822 entitled The Madwoman (a.k.a., The Hyena of Saltpetiere). ‘You’re a hyena still…’ the demon cries who crowned me with such delightful poppies.Rimbaud later moved from hyena-free Europe to the hyena capital of Harar, a walled Muslim city in Ethiopia near the Somalia border. Harar is famous for having “hyena holes” in the town wall to let hyenas in at night to scavenge domestic animals who drop dead in the streets. Australian anthropologist Marcus Baynes-Rock, author of the recent book, Among the Bone Eaters, spent over a year following the hyena scavengers around Harar. Baynes-Rock explains the logic. From his dissertation: In general, hyenas are not well liked. Indeed, hyenas are usually feared, loathed, vilified, derided, persecuted and where people have the means, eradicated. Often, hyenas are associated with what are called witches (Johnstone 1902, p. 265; Morris 2000, p. 168).On the other hand, the urbanites of Harar are more pro-hyena than most Africans. Baynes-Rock has a website aimed at schoolchildren, presumably including fans of the secondary bad guys in “The Lion King,” on which he explains: Hyenas’ nocturnal habits, human-like giggles and propensity to exhume and consume human corpses makes them obvious companions to people exercising supernatural means to malevolent ends (Gray 1963, p. 167). Often the hyenas do the bidding of the witches, bringing home fresh human meat, or else they are ridden through the night sky, with flames shooting from their anuses (Beidelman 1963, p. 65; 1975, p. 190; Gray 1963, p. 166). In many countries, witches are believed to transform into hyenas and prowl around at night looking for victims to eat (Niehaus 1995, p. 514; Rutherford 1999, p. 95; Sapir 1981, p. 533). But it is not simply a matter of hyenas refraining from attacking people and getting food scraps in return. The other service that hyenas perform is to clear the town of bad jinn [a.k.a., genies]. These unseen spirits enter the town through the same holes that the hyenas use and are a constant threat to the people of Harar. I myself have heard many stories of jinn possession and met with someone who was possessed by multiple jinn. Hyenas for their part, can see jinn and they attack them whenever they get the chance. The jinni runs in fear from the hyena and enters the ground but the hyena puts its nose to the ground at that place and sucks the jinni from the earth and into its stomach where it perishes. This is when the hyena makes an oowoop noise. Hararis tell me that after a hyena eats a jinni, it will vomit up hair, fingernails and even precious stones. If you manage to find a hyena cave you’ll find these precious stones.From WBUR, the NPR station in Boston: Baynes-Rock knew of cases in which psychologically unbalanced people were brought to the hyenas in hopes of some kind of exorcism.So, it’s not just Dr. Habeb making up the Hyena Cure.

Dedicated to (and obviously inspired by) J.R.R. Tolkien, this shelf-bending fantasy poem—about a heroic female fox and her epic journey of self-discovery—is written entirely in rhyming couplets. Set in the anthropomorphic realm of Deleran—populated by communities of foxes, wolves, bears, weasels, etc.—the storyline essentially revolves around two main characters: Lorelei, a vixen princess, and her cousin, Malachi, a wolf. Lorelei has lived a relatively idyllic life within the magical confines of Eludoran, but as she reaches maturity, she begins to realize how much her father, Arulaine, misunderstands and under-appreciates her. Still grieving for his lost mate—who died giving birth to Lorelei—Arulaine’s sorrow becomes a weakness as enemies slyly seek to enter Eludoran and enslave its residents. As Arulaine’s power—and judgment—deteriorates, Lorelei discovers he is planning on marrying her off. She sees no other option than to leave the safety of Eludoran. Alone in a dangerous world, she soon becomes enslaved by the ruthless ursine king Bloodfang. Meanwhile, her cousin Malachi sets out to find his beautiful cousin and return her safely to the glades of Eludoran. One of the biggest challenges in writing a story in rhyming couplets—especially a work this long—is not only the potential for monotony but also that the format’s strictures will degrade the narrative flow and ultimately the tale’s thematic power. With Eludoran, the author has written a highly imaginative story that flows seamlessly from beginning to end: no small feat for almost 900 pages! The story’s main problem is its lethargic pacing; the storyline frequently goes off on tangents exploring various legends or backstory. While these vignettes enrich the mythos surrounding Eludoran, they kill momentum and create a frustratingly slow and serpentine reading experience. That said, this is an ambitious and highly impressive undertaking. Fans of Tolkien will be delighted to find more than a few subtle references to Middle-earth sprinkled throughout the story: “Won’t we, my precious?” Also available in hardcover and ebook.

European Innovation Convention: New Commission initiatives acknowledge the essential role of biotechnology in overcoming economic crisis in Europe Brussels, December 7th 2011 EuropaBio welcomes three major announcements that were made this week during the European Commission’s first ever Innovation Convention launched by President Barroso and convened by Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn with the aim of “bridging the gap between good ideas and bringing products to market”. One of the highlights of the Convention was the EU Women Innovators Prize, which saw first and second place awarded to founders of biotechnology companies. Dr Fabienne Hermitte, co-founder of IPSOGEN received second prize for her work as a pioneer in personalised healthcare diagnostics, which allow more individualises treatments for cancer patients. Dr Gitte Neubauer, co-founder of CELLZOME was awarded the first prize for her ground-breaking research into chemo-proteomics and targeted medicine against inflammatory diseases and cancer. During the event, the former Chief Scientific Advisor to the Scottish Government, Professor Anne Glover, was named as the first ever European Chief Scientific Advisor. She will provide independent scientific advice to President Barroso throughout all stages of policy development in Europe. Professor Glover holds a Personal Chair of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Aberdeen, and has honorary positions at the Rowett and Macaulay Institutes. This important appointment is additional proof of the Commission's commitment to ensure that responsible science and innovation dominate Europe's quest to kick start growth and respond to our most pressing societal challenges. Life science and biotechnology will continue to play a central role in ensuring that research, education and innovation lead to processes and products that are beneficial to our society and our economy now and in the future. Moreover, the opening of the Convention was marked by the significant agreement between the European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to launch a new guarantee facility for innovative SMEs, building on the success of the Risk-Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) launched in 2007. In signing the agreement, Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn stated: “Investing in research and innovation carried out by SMEs means that we will have more growth, sustainability and competitiveness in Europe”. The Risk Sharing Instrument (RSI) will be managed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) and is expected to unlock a further €6 billion in loans until 2013. EuropaBio believes that it is essential that the commission continues to recognise the importance of capital intensive innovative biotech SMEs in driving economic growth by clearly differentiating between innovative and non-innovative SMEs. Talking about the event Andrea Rappagliosi, Chair of EuropaBio’s Board Innovation Task Force stated: “As President Barroso and Commissioners Geoghegan-Quinn and Tajani clearly stressed, innovation is central to creating jobs and sustaining economic growth. Today, we are pleased to see that the strategic role of biotechnology as a key enabler for implementing the European Growth Agenda has been confirmed by the Commission awarding two biotech researchers with the top prizes for the Women Innovators Award and by the appointment of the first ever Chief Science Advisor who has a strong background in life sciences.” About EuropaBio (the European Association for Bioindustries): EuropaBio's, mission is to promote an innovative and dynamic biotechnology based industry in Europe. Founded in 1996, to provide a voice for the biotech industry at an EU level, EuropaBio represents corporate and associate members operating worldwide, as well as bioregions and national biotechnology associations representing some 1800 SMEs.

Here are our Glitches for Super Life RPG on PC. The most trustworthy items get the most 'thumbs up' from our users and appear nearer the top! If you press 2 twice while running in a direction you may sometimes notice that you don't stop moving while you have your phone screen up. But if you do this while covering the distance of a hedge you can completely go through it! And if you do it right you can even get on-top of the hedge. This is similar to how on "Uncles Ranch" if you run to the steps on his porch you can sometimes get on top of those. This seems to happen when you have more lag so please keep that in mind.

Officers and their families gathered Thursday night in the basement of the Garlic Rose Bistro on North Avenue for the first Cranford Police Benevolent Association Silver Card and Awards Dinner ceremony since 1994. The police union honored their own for outstanding work on and off duty. Of those given silver awards: - Sgt. Anthony Dobbins, for aiding a brother and sister caught in a rip tide off the coast of the Outer Banks in North Carolina in July 2007. Dobbins’ training as a fast water rescue member helped him save the two people even when on vacation. - Officer Timothy O’Brien for chasing down and holding a burglary suspect in Elizabeth until police arrived at the scene in February 2006. O’Brien was also off-duty at the time. - PBA President and Officer Matthew Nazzaro for rendering first aid to a woman who suddenly lost consciousness, stopped breathing, and had no pulse at Kean University in October 2008. After three minutes of cardio pulmonary resuscitation, the woman’s pulse and breathing returned. - Officer John Rattigan for successfully performing the Heimlich Maneuver on a choking 102-year-old woman in August 2007. - Sgt. Guy Patterson and Detective Ryan Greco for subduing a suspect who was threatening to kill himself and others with a crossbow, a samurai sword, and other weapons during a psychiatric emergency in February 2009. - Sgt. Edward Davenport and Nazzaro for delivering defibrillator aid to a victim who was not breathing and had no pulse in May 2009. The victim made a full recovery. - Lt. Stephen Wilde, Dobbins and Rattigan for apprehending a purse snatcher who resisted arrest by trying to escape by vehicle and on foot, and by fighting the officers during the September 2008 incident. Of those given merit awards: - Sgt. Frank Hanley, Officers John Heesters, Sean Holcomb, Daniel Norton and Rattigan for arresting two suspects connected with the Newark 18th Street set of the Bloods Street Gang in June 2008. - Hanley, Detectives Sgt. Jerry Quinn, John Swandrak, Robert Montague, Michael Andrews, Richard Vitale, and Officers Donal Zsak, Derek Farbanec, Patrick Fay for apprehending a homicide suspect within six hours of the crime in January 2006. The suspect eventually plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter. - Nazzaro and Montague were also given a merit award and a Robert Hand Brotherhood Award for their efforts in preventing 2009 police department layoffs. Cranford Patrolman Robert Hand was killed in February 1975 in an automobile accident during a vehicle pursuit. The PBA honored those killed in the line of duty, including Hand, in the form of a powerpoint presentation compiled by Detective Lt. Joseph Van Bergen. “I’m happy that this tradition is coming back,” said Nazzaro at the end of the dinner. “This is just a tradition I think should continue and I’m sure will after tonight.”

Millennials are benefiting from a confluence of factors, like low rates and minimal competition in the starter home segment, that have made homeownership less prohibitive. Meota Home Price The median house price listed in Meota this month is $499,900. 3 bedroom properties are the most common available for real estate investors this month in neighbourhood. From our data, it appears that neighbourhood is number 2013th when comparing neighbourhoods by the number of properties available to investors across the nation, putting it in the top 50. Saskatchewan has hundreds of possible neighbourhoods for you to invest in and there is lots of data to sift through to help you narrow your search down. One of the important leading indicators for property investors is whether the amount of stock on the market is increasing or decreasing – as more comes on buyers have more choice so prices can tend to drop. In Meota, the amount of stock on the market has decreased which is a positive indicator for house prices. Three months ago there were 14, this month we show 10. There are a number of important pieces of research you should do before deciding where to buy an investment property – this data for Meota will hopefully provide an indicator to help you where to research in-depth If you are looking at investment properties in Meota, then there are about the same homes for sale than there were three months ago.

I look at making art as a much bigger and exciting concept than that which only relies on any one individual identity. The making of a picture is about participating in a small piece of a bigger unit. For me painting has been a tool to explore what I do not yet know. The act of making art [process] is setup for those who have a deep desire to be challenged and bring to light important questions. Identifying intelligent problems that can only be quenched visually, through a cogent body of work. I feel by taking this visual approach seriously, I'm able to articulate and express clearer than my words can ever say. My interest in unexpected (visual) relationships from an abstract point of view, expresses a common universal dialogue that crosses social and racial boundaries. Exhibiting both intuitive responsiveness and an element of contrivance delivers an understanding toward the importance of serious practice and critique in a historical context. This communication through thoughtful interpretation and expression seems critical to me. In addition, accepting that which can challenge everything you know is an important idea in the search for meaning. Merely declaring yourself as an artist isn't enough. An honest examination of the work is determined by the sum of two things; that which you do not know, and that which you practice. I'm dedicated to a serious and rigorous practice of observation that has the ability to make the art relevant in any arena. Typified by arresting powers of visual imagery and spatial sophistication, Michael Gadlin’s artistry is an increasingly recognized phenomenon in the art world. Rimmed in spontaneity, his 20-year repertoire expresses a singular uninterrupted brush stroke of Mediterranean, European and Western influences. Pushing the boundaries of contemporary art form, Michael’s work epitomizes avant-garde. Those who experience Michael’s work often discover an ethereal essence captured that defies explanation. From his early years of surrealistic impressionism until now, Michael’s work reflects an improvisational inventiveness that has garnered a loyal following among the art elite. His artistic conviction that... “Direct expressionism is the most meaningful reflection of life”, has prompted the evolution of an extremely cogent and intriguing portfolio of 21st century art. In 1999 Michael was the youngest artist ever to win Best Of Show at Denver’s nationally renowned Cherry Creek Arts Festival. The Vance Kirkland Museum acquired a work of his as part of their permanent collection. Michael’s well-received public art installation, commissioned by The City of Denver, hangs permanently in Denver’s District 2 Police Station. The Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art selected Michael to be included in the museum’s Rocky Mountain Biennial. Michael has recently exhibited in Denver, Aspen, Telluride and France. Exhibiting in select galleries, museums and institutions worldwide, Michael has been commissioned by governments, Fortune 100 corporations and private collectors, and has been exuberantly heralded in the press. Michael has been exhibiting work throughout the United States and most recently in France, where he received a residency through La Napoule Art Foundation given out only once a year. BORN IN DENVER, COLORADO, Michael studied drawing and painting as a young artist at the Art Students League of Denver. He would later attended Pratt Institute in New York right after graduating high school. Early on he focused his discipline on classical drawing and painting fundamentals, later emphasizing his studies in abstract concepts in conceptual art. At the same time, while still in New York, Michael further developed his passion for design and contemporary art by taking courses to deepen his knowledge and become more well-rounded in his own artistic philosophy. nothing ENTIRELY planned out. I paint from the thoughts and memories that serve my creative intuitions. in order to capture the characteristic of one thing suggestive of another. The process of discovery is my addiction. I am dedicated to exploring visual elements that excite the viewer’s senses. In my work, I focus on the process and interaction of layers that become visually meaningful and rich with examination. Through that fundamental confrontation, I find tension to be the most meaningful facet of my artistic and aesthetic investigations. A context in which I am challenged to make the union of these ingredients seem intuitive and natural visually. My work is driven to guide the viewer into understanding the relationship between the fundamentals of artistic processes and the emotional expressions that create a dialogue and language that will be universally meaningful. My philosophy is simple, to be sentient through my interpretations and make work that will challenge all assumptions. For me, beauty lies between those elements that offer stimulating contradiction and relevance. The visual depth is already present in our environment. It is the conscious struggle between man-made and the perfection that is nature. This is the backdrop for my work that I’m most stimulated by. "Direct connection with community is the most important inspiration to my work." One example is my friend Zachary Inkeles an autistic artist who I've been mentoring in studio for over 7 years. We've worked together in my studio weekly. This gives me another outlet and insight into the creative process of others and, of course, has an effect on my own work. Most recently I've participated in a Facilitate Painting workshop with some very talented disabled artists, through the Art Students League of Denver who partnered with VSA Colorado Access Gallery here in Denver.

When it comes to shopping, it is impressive how little I know. Thus when I needed a new pair of hiking boots, which I typically wear to work each day and also use on the weekend, I went with my usual take a guess and buy something approach. Now I've come to find out just how much thought really should go into buying new hiking boots. Hiking is a popular pastime here in the Northeast during the summer. I am not a big hiker, but do like to hike to a trout stream or a place to hunt. As I drive around the Adirondacks for work, it is clear that there are loads of folks from our area and beyond who are hitting the trails for the season. Whether you are going to the High Peaks for a day trip, or want to do some backcountry camping, a good pair of boots makes or breaks the journey. In the old days, hiking boots came in one design. They were leather with firm ankle support and were typically waterproof as well. Yet, while they offered good support for someone travelling over difficult terrain, or carrying a heavy pack, they had one serious disadvantage, they were heavy. Traditional leather hiking boots are heavy, as much as two pounds or more for each boot. The weight is a lot when you think about walking several miles with that amount of weight on each foot. Another thing about the traditional leather hikers is that they are not as flexible, and that can lead to something nobody wants to deal with on a backcountry trip. Unless they are well broken in, they can cause blisters, and blisters make for a miserable trip back out of the woods. The upside to the leather models is that they are tough, sturdy and usually waterproof. We use leather boots like this in Alaska, where encountering water is something that happens all the time and the terrain is tough. There's another class of boots for hikers and campers that are called Trekkers, basically a lightweight version of the hiking boot that is of similar construction to sneakers. These boots are light, and are a great choice when you will encounter relatively dry weather. They do hold the weight advantage, but if you are someone with weak ankles who intends to carry a fairly heavy pack, they are probably not going to serve their purpose. The other problem with the trekking boots is that they are typically not waterproof. Clever boot designers have developed a hybrid style between the traditional hikers and the trekking boots. The hybrid boots solve most of the disadvantages to each. They are fairly lightweight, yet offer solid support, and many models are now waterproof. These boots also have a relatively short break-in period. The best way to buy boots is to go to a retail outlet with a large number of hiking models and try them on. One thing I've found with boots and waders is that the sizes vary from company to company. I went to buy new wading shoes and needed to go up two sizes with a particular brand. It is also a good idea to bring along the type of sock you like to wear. If you wear thick wool socks, bring them when you try on shoes. With all of the hiking and camping that will go on this summer, having the right boots is a good investment. Those of us who have been in the woods with leaky, ill-fitting boots will be the first to testify that buying a good pair is worth the investment. While my shopping abilities are subpar at best, in my case, the boots I ended up with fit like a glove, are light, and offer great support. So when it comes to shopping for me, never rule out dumb luck. Rob Streeter is an outdoors columnist for the Times Union.

"Quantum of Solace" is the first direct sequel in the James Bond series. Star Daniel Craig told RedEye that since the storyline that started in "Casino Royale" is now complete, the series may return to some of its tropes from past Bond films. "The next movie, maybe Q will come back into it," he said. "Maybe Moneypenny will come back into it. Maybe I'll say a few more of the old things that used to be said ["Shaken, not stirred" or "Bond, James Bond."]. But for the moment, this is the deal, and we'll see." Here are three things Bond has been missing since Craig took over as 007: Bond has bedded a total of three women in the last two movies -- a record dry spell for the secret agent's sex life. "I think Bond has fully gone through the pain-and-suffering thing [with the death of his love Vesper] and can relax now," Craig said. "I see him having a little more fun the next time out." Aside from a cool flash-screen tabletop computer, "Quantum" contains no gadgets. Thus, no need for Q, last played by John Cleese in 2002's "Die Another Day." "The reality is that everyone these days has so many gadgets, what are you going to do to impress someone?" producer Barbara Broccoli said. "This Bond relies more on his own ability and wit." Bond's boss, M (Judi Dench), has plenty of screen time in "Quantum," but she must be doing her own filing these days. There's no sign of filmdom's most famous secretary. "With 'Casino Royale,' Moneypenny and Q weren't in the [Ian Fleming] novel, so they weren't in the movie," Broccoli said. "And 'Quantum' is a continuation. When the story dictates the need to introduce those characters, we will." Per Craig's suggestion, we ask: Could Gwyneth Paltrow work for both Bond and Iron Man? Daniel Craig was Barbara Broccoli's first choice for the role of Bond. She had him in mind after seeing him in what movie? Text "bond'' and the number of your answer to 47383. You'll get a message telling you if you got it right or wrong. 1. The Jacket 3. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 4. Layer Cake

What Pet Should I Get? (Classic Seuss) A #1 New York Times bestseller! This previously never-before-seen picture book by Dr. Seuss about making up one’s mind is the literary equivalent of buried treasure! What happens when a brother and sister visit a pet store to pick a pet? Naturally, they can’t choose just one! The tale captures a classic childhood moment—choosing a pet—and uses it to illuminate a life lesson: that it is hard to make up your mind, but sometimes you just have to do it! Told in Dr. Seuss’s signature rhyming style, this is a must-have for Seuss fans and book collectors, and a perfect choice for the holidays, birthdays, and happy occasions of all kinds. An Editor’s Note at the end discusses Dr. Seuss’s pets, his creative process, and the discovery of the manuscript and illustrations for What Pet Should I Get?

Retired teacher Peggy of the California Acres church in Topeka, KS, meets regularly with a group of five or six other retired teacher friends. Though several of this group are of a religious persuasion, there has been little direct conversation about spiritual topics in their get togethers until recently. Encouraged by the evangelistic training efforts of her California Acres brethren, Peggy stepped out in faith inviting the members of the group into personal Bible study. All but one accepted a personal card from her with personal contact information and an outline of obeying the gospel on it. Each receiver thanked her for the card and one accepted her invitation to study! At this writting I am not sure whether the first study has taken place yet or not, but much fruit is already being reaped. First, Peggy is experiencing fruit in her personal faith, being strengthened in spirit to continue bold invitations to know Jesus. Secondly, her brethren at California Acres and other congregations have been encouraged to follow her example of bold invitation through her reports of such an attempt (1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1). Praise the Lord for the increase of the Kingdom of our Lord in the hearts of His people (qualitative increase)! Take joy with me in the hope that the works of this sister and others like her offer the brotherhood, in seeing God increase His spiritual family (Quantitative increase). Better yet, follow their example of bold proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in your relationships. Keep thinking souls!

When I talk to colleagues from online marketing about tracking and attribution, we quickly come across ad blockers, GDPR, cookies and the associated increased requirements. If you go a little deeper into the discussion and look at the traffic channels, it turns out that for many, the channels SEO and Direct are the most successful – i.e. most conversions result – while the paid channels (e.g. SEA and social) stagnate or even go back. The great success of the direct channel is then explained by their strong brand. We at everysize can also confirm this statement based on our Google Analytics numbers. But why is that? Out of curiosity, I went into the matter and took a closer look at the reasons for our high proportion of conversions in the direct channel. I came across some very interesting aspects, including: The more we scale our paid channels, the higher our traffic and especially our conversion numbers in the direct channel increase!Continue reading “Flying blind through the online attribution (1/7)” CTO & Co-Founder of everysize.com

A statutory employee is an independent contractor who is treated as an employee for certain employment tax purposes. Who qualifies as a statutory employee? An independent contractor must meet specific criteria and fall into one of four categories outlined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to qualify as a statutory employee. Both categories and criteria are outlined below: - Drivers who distribute meat, beverages other than milk, vegetables, fruit, bakery products, laundry, or dry cleaning and who earn a commission. - Full-time insurance salespeople who sell life insurance or annuity contracts, primarily for one life insurance company. - Home-based workers who use materials supplied by an employer and work on them based on specifications provided by the employer. - Full-time traveling salespeople who solicit orders from wholesalers, retailers, contractors, or operators of hotels or restaurants. The orders must be used for sales in their business operations and this must be the salesperson’s principal business activity. If an independent contractor meets one of the above, they must also meet these criteria: - Substantially all of the services are performed by the independent contractor themselves (this can be stated or implied in their contract). - They haven’t invested substantially in the equipment or products they use to perform the work. - They perform work on a continuing basis for the same company. Find out more about these categories and criteria on the IRS website. How do statutory employees differ from independent contractors? If an independent contractor meets the three criteria above and falls into one of the above four categories, then the employer needs to treat them as an employee for Medicare and Social Security tax purposes. Find out more about statutory employees on the IRS website. Classifying workers correctly Misclassifying employees can lead to paying hefty fines, back wages, and other penalties.

The Inferior Five In the 1960s and 1970s, Buick dealers sold German-made Opels alongside their Electras, Centurions and LeSabres. But in 1975 GM lost its nerve and pulled the German cars from the Buick dealers, replacing them with this lump. It was first called the Opel by Isuzu. But when sales proved practically non-existent, GM changed the name to Buick Opel. Based on the same structure as the unloved Chevrolet Chevette, the Buick Opel was both primitive and chintzy. Power came from the same 80-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine used in the rough-hewn Chevrolet LUV pickup, while the front-engine and rear-drive layout left Opel less space-efficient than its competitors who were shifting to front drive. Originally the Opel was available only as a two-door coupe, but a frustratingly tinny four-door sedan was added for 1977. The Opel was an indication to buyers that Buick didn't care about quality or distinctive design. By the time this dumpy runt was put out of its misery, no one seemed to care about it... or about Buick.

As people live longer, saving enough for a comfortable retirement continues to be an ongoing challenge. In late 2022, to help address this issue, the federal government enacted new legislation called the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) 2.0 Act. Similar to the first SECURE Act that was passed in 2020, the new legislation aims to encourage Americans to save for retirement through a series of changes to retirement accounts. “The new SECURE Act is good news for people saving for retirement because it increases and enhances retirement savings options," says Angie O'Leary, head of Wealth Planning at RBC Wealth Management–U.S. “The act includes a little something for everyone at every stage of life." Here's a look at some of the SECURE 2.0 Act provisions that might have the biggest effect on retirement planning, and how everyone—from younger Americans just starting their careers to those approaching retirement—could stand to benefit. Catch-up contribution changes The SECURE 2.0 Act included changes to catch-up contributions, an annual limit that allows people age 50 and up to make additional contributions to their retirement savings accounts over the standard contribution limits. Starting in 2024, the legislation will require catch-up contribution limits to be automatically adjusted for inflation each year. “This will be the first time that the IRA catch-up contribution amount of $1,000 will have increased since 2006," says Roman Kozak, senior retirement planning consultant at RBC Wealth Management–U.S. "And though the adjustments will be modest each year, any additional savings opportunities are always welcomed." Starting in 2025, catch-up contributions can be even bigger for people between the ages of 60 and 63 with qualified employer-based retirement plans, such as a 401(k). For the first time, those in this age group will be allowed to make additional catch-up contributions equal to $10,000 or 150 percent of the standard catch-up amount permitted in 2024, whichever is greater. This will help more people who are nearing retirement build up their savings more quickly. Additionally, after 2023, all catch-up contributions will be treated as Roth (after-tax) contributions for people earning more than $145,000 per year. While that means savers can't delay paying taxes on the extra catch-up contributions, the earnings on those savings will be tax-free when they make withdrawals in retirement. Increase to required minimum distribution age The original SECURE Act increased the age at which required minimum distributions (RMDs) must be taken from retirement plan accounts from 70 ½ to age 72, and the SECURE 2.0 Act increases this age to 73, with an additional increase to age 75 in 2033. This will benefit people who may not need their RMDs right away, O'Leary explains, providing extra time for those accounts to grow. “People who don't need the distributions from their retirement accounts to live on will be able to defer taxes and invest longer," she says. “This provision recognizes that people are working longer and living longer, so that's a good thing." Automatic retirement plan enrollment The SECURE 2.0 Act will also expand automatic enrollment in workplace retirement plans, which could be a particularly big boost to younger workers just getting started with saving for retirement. Beginning in 2025, companies will be required to automatically enroll eligible employees in new 401(k) and 403(b) plans. Initially, the employee automatic contribution amount must be at least three percent, with a 90-day employee voluntary opt-out feature. Each year, the percentage amount is automatically increased until it reaches at least 10 percent but not more than 15 percent. Some employer plans are exempt from this automatic enrollment provision, including government and church plans, SIMPLE IRA plans, small business owners with 10 or fewer employees, and new employers that have been in existence less than three years. Student loan payments and matching contributions Another part of the SECURE 2.0 Act that will impact younger Americans is the provision allowing for employers to make matching contributions on behalf of employees who make qualified student loan payments. Previously, employees who were focused on repaying student loans rather than saving for retirement may have missed out on those matching contributions to their retirement account. “This provision may finally enable employees, who may not otherwise be able to afford to save for retirement due to student loans and debt obligations, and who thus forgo receiving employer matching contributions, to receive employer matching contributions by way of repaying their qualified student loan payments, which are broadly defined as any sort of indebtedness incurred by a plan participant in order to pay off qualified higher education expenses," Kozak explains. That provision will go into effect after Dec. 31, 2023. 529 account rollovers to Roth IRAs The SECURE 2.0 Act will also allow for tax- and penalty-free rollovers from 529 college savings accounts to Roth IRAs. This change will affect people who have completed their education but may still have leftover funds in their 529 college savings accounts. However, it comes with a number of "caveats, limitations and restrictions," according to Kozak. For example, if your child received a scholarship and didn't need all the funds you had saved in their 529 account, there previously wasn't much you could do with the leftover funds without taking a penalty. Now, the new SECURE Act allows owners of 529 accounts to roll over balances into Roth IRAs as long as the Roth IRA is owned by the beneficiary of the 529 plan—in other words, the student, not the parent. However, contributions made to the 529 plan in the past five years (and any resulting growth) are ineligible for the rollover. Any funds rolled over from a 529 into a Roth IRA will be counted toward the annual IRA contribution limit of $6,500. And 529-to-Roth rollovers are capped at a lifetime maximum limit of $35,000. "People who have completed their education and have funds remaining in their 529 accounts can now use those funds to seed their retirements with a Roth IRA, but they must adhere to these limitations," O'Leary says. That change to 529 plans, along with the other provisions of the SECURE 2.0 Act, has the potential to make a difference for Americans no matter where they may fall on their retirement planning journey. "Overall, the new law offers a number of favorable changes that can make a positive impact on retirement savings," Kozak says.

The absolutely essential guide to skatepark etiquette A skateboarding pundit's rules for survival on a busy summer day at the skatepark. Special to The Seattle Times Northwest travel guides If you think Seattle rush-hour traffic is bad, try the Lower Woodland skatepark on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Threading the needle on the street course makes Luke Skywalker's Death Star attack look like mini golf. Little kids on Razor scooters, grown men on skateboards, teenagers on iPods and parents on lattes all converge at a patch of concrete roughly the size of a couple tennis courts. It's beautiful and chaotic — that is, until you see a 5-year-old take a hit that would make the NFL highlight reel. Despite some negative stigmas floating around about skateparks, most skateboarders are extremely supportive of one another — including beginners. It's not out of the ordinary to see the entire park cheer for someone who learns to drop into the bowl for the first time. Supportive or not, there are still matters of skate etiquette, not widely published, that are crucial to the safety and flow of the skatepark. While your standard city parks employee might have a different take on the subject, these are the real guidelines that every parent or kid should memorize before setting foot or board in the concrete wonderland: No free day care Despite the whole "Lord of the Flies" vibe going on at the skatepark, do not give into temptation and leave your child unsupervised. It seems like a no-brainer, but this happens more than you'd think. On the far side of the spectrum, skate coaching your child is equally frowned upon (see next rule). As a doting parent, it's tempting to bring a Little League mentality to skateboarding, but don't — just don't. Telling your kid to work on his or her kickflip kind of defeats the purpose of this unstructured, creative activity. This list notwithstanding, there really are no rules of the sport — and rarely winners or losers — so start acting like it. Snaking occurs when you drop in on another skateboarder while they are in the middle of their run. It is the single largest cause of collisions. If you accidentally snake someone, get out of their way as soon as possible and apologize. Nobody likes a snake, period. Wait your turn. No marathon runs This is especially common among the littlest kids. With endless stamina and infectious enthusiasm for his new Razor scooter, "little Timmy" can spend an eternity in the bowl, rolling back and forth. While endearing at first, keep your runs short and sweet and leave some for the rest of us. Skateboarding is silly. Nothing is worse than watching someone throw a temper tantrum because they didn't land a trick. Although rolled ankles and swollen elbows are par for the course in skateboarding, the ego is often the most bruised body part of all. Instead of throwing your board, try laughing the next time you blow it. I know we all will. If you fall and aren't seriously hurt, get up immediately. Not only do you run the risk of being hit by an errant board, you're also about to get an ambulance call from a concerned good Samaritan. Know your place Looking for a nice spot to sit in the skatepark? That concrete bench seems perfect, right? Wrong. Look 30 feet past it and you'll see a kid with hungry eyes bearing down on you. Within the confines of the skatepark, it's a pretty safe bet that any ledge, bench or ramp will be skated, no matter how improbable it seems. Instead, sit just outside the skatepark or, if you must, look where other skateboarders are sitting to get an idea of a safe spot. Standing on the edge of the bowl or half-pipe is also a big no-no. You never know when or where that guy or girl riding will attempt a trick above the lip right into your shins. If this happens, see above ("Get up"). Give fair warning If you lose control of your board, scooter, Frisbee or whatever else, yell "board" to give any unsuspecting skateboarders in the vicinity warning of your careening projectile. Now is not the time to be shy. Scream it out. Timing is everything Heavy afternoon sessions at the skatepark can be intimidating, especially if your child is just learning. Try mornings before 10 a.m. for a chance to roll around and get used to the park without the pressures of a full crowd. On a similar note, while one park is notoriously crowded, another can sit empty on the same day. Try Crossroads Skatepark in Bellevue for a quiet session at a perfect bowl. First off, remember that bikes aren't technically allowed in Seattle skateparks. Second, know that collisions are only magnified when a 30-pound piece of twisted metal is involved. That being said, if you still choose to bring your bike into the skatepark, here are a few helpful hints to safely coexist with skateboarders and avoid banishment: • No metal pegs — attached to bike axles for riding rails — in the bowl or on ledges. Nothing damages the coping (edge) of a bowl or draws the ire of skateboarders faster than you clunking your pegs or pedals all over the place. • No muddy tires. Just got finished riding dirt jumps? Cool. Now wash your tires before coming into the park. Dirt and little pebbles are treacherous to skateboard wheels. • Look before you leap. Sure, it's fun to launch five feet out of the bowl, but avoid doing it right into a crowd of innocent bystanders. Some bikers are extremely conscious of this, but others are just tragic accidents waiting to happen. See you at the skatepark this summer — rush hour or not. I'll be the one icing my knees.

Jewish Snow Globes Israel is not so familiar with seeing snowfall within its borders. So naturally, we needed to come up with a practical alternative. World of Judaica presents Israeli Snow Globes—the fool proof way to watch your favourite Israeli cities get coated in that fluffy white powder. There is a wide ranging variety of snow globes offered at World of Judaica. Many of our globes have Jerusalem written across the base, shown with either a Menorah or famous Jerusalem scenes and landmarks. One can choose from a number of objects they'd like within the globe, such as a Menorah, the Star of David, a Hamsa, or even the Old City. Maybe you prefer a map of Israel or the Jerusalem tower inside your globe. Choose between a colourful base or a more simple and refined silver and gold one. The outer walls of the Old City are a great base as well. Snow globes have been around for generations and make for the perfect gift for people at any age. All of our snow globes are either silver plated or made from ceramic.
