Many people today look for the place of women in the society today and are pleased with the direction or even the status that women command in the society. But the present situation has been achieved through a lot of struggle, and I can boldly say that women with a lot of help from the general public have come a long way. If you look at the role of women today and compare it with some centuries back, you will appreciate the work that has been done to bring women to their current state. It has been through major movements, revolution, literature and war that the current situation has been achieved. However, it is of dial importance to note that different nations saw the light at different times. America, for example, had the place of women redefined long before the rest of the world. They may not have received the same treatment as now but were way ahead of the rest of the world. Before the War, women were taken as homemakers. They were supposed to stay at home and be provided by their husbands. They were not entitled to employment. A woman was termed prosperous if she could bring up a good family and take good care of the husband and children. Most communities did not see the need to educate women as they were to get married. They did not have a right to choose a path in life. In some cases, they were treated as property and subject to men. A woman could not own property or even vote. They did not have identity cards and were seen as lesser than men. During the War, men were actively involved while a few women were used as spies and for supplying food to men on the battlefield. As men were busy in the field, women started being integrated into the industries. There was a shortage of a labor force and since women were the available some were taken to work in the industries. Others were trained so as to offer medical care to men that got injured in the war. Those that remained had to take up man roles at home so as to provide for the family. They went to the garden and did some odd jobs. This was the beginning of a new way. When the war was over, most women who had been actively involved in some income generating activities continued. It was then that women started perusing careers that had in the past been reserved for men. With this enlightenment, they fought for more and that is the reason for the place they enjoy today.

I mean no disrespect to the “Man of Steel,” but I think parents of kids with chronic illnesses have it more difficult. I am trying to settle in to bed. Tomorrow bright and early we head out for the thyroid sonogram and appointment. My stomach is twisted in a million directions. At this point I should be calmer. I should relax, and have faith – as I am sure that everything will somehow be alright. Yet, still, it is so hard to keep your mind from wandering. I will take it all, every illness, every horrible twist and turn that this wretched Cowden’s Syndrome will toss at me. Just PLEASE… leave my kid out of it. Today we stayed home. The three of us, (and Allie and Lucky) as a family. We did some work, and we rested. We also did a little bit of shopping. My girl had only three things on her list for Santa. She asked for an American Girl Doll, a dog ring, and money to buy toys for the children in the hospital. Santa left her $100. Today she carefully selected some toys, “a kid stuck in a hospital might appreciate.” And she would know. She has spent her share of time stuck in a hospital. These are the toys she picked out for the kids in the hospital. Such a great kid. I am just so proud of her compassion. We are blessed. Please, dear God… hold us close tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you & your daughter. Prayers sent your way! I missed this last night and then saw your other post before this. I wanted to read this again, see the great pictures and enjoy your positivity. This is one of the things we all learn from this – nerves of steel. Thinking of you both.

Abstract: The phenomenon of verbal learning for almost 100 years has been of much concern in the field of psychology. This interest can be understood when one realizes that much of memory-thus learning-in the human organism is of a verbal nature. One of the most promising approaches to the study of memory is the interest in free recall. As early as 1885 Hermann Ebbinghaus had experimented to such an extent as to be able to publish a book of empirical findings on memory. Ebbinghaus' served as both experimenter and subject in his studies. He learned, relearned, and memorized lists of nonsense syllables.

1. Reboot (hard reset). Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously for roughly 15-20 seconds, until the screen powers off then an Apple logo appears, which signifies a reboot. Some problems may require (oddly) that this procedure is performed twice. 2. Reset all settings. The reset may restore disengaged hardware components and clear corrupt data that prevents proper connectivity. Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Note that this will erase stored messages, passwords and other information. Failing the above, try these battery saving tips. 1. “Reboot (hard reset)” works occasionally for me. 2. “Reset all settings” did not work. I tried once. 3. “Restore, but not from backup”. It requires updating firmware without ability to roll back on 3GS. I don’t like to have new bugs from Apple any more….

Today, commercial pricing success demands new ways of managing data. Pricing organizations are tasked with managing increasingly large and complex data sets coming from diverse sources that change rapidly. As a result, there is a failure to operationalize pricing strategy over a long-term horizon. Pricing organizations can no longer rely on spreadsheets, custom software tools, and empirical observation to properly manage the complexity and challenges on the road to creating sustained success.

THE HARRIMAN ALASKA EXPEDITION. The Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899 was the last great Alaska expedition of the nineteenth century. Sponsored entirely by American railroad magnate and philanthropist Edward H. Harriman and organized by C. Hart Merriam, then head of the U.S. Biological Survey, the eight-week voyage from Seattle to Alaska (31 May to 30 July 1899) was made aboard the George W. Elder, a steamship that had been refitted as a scientific luxury liner. The Elder's 126- member crew constituted a “floating university” that consisted of eminent American scientists, artists, photographers, and writers. Although the geographical discoveries of the expedition were not particularly significant, the carefully orchestrated voyage of so many important naturalists and writers drew national media attention both to the landscape of Alaska and to the importance of American literary and scientific natural history. Among the literary members of the expedition were John Burroughs (1837-1921), nature writer and ornithologist; John Muir (1838-1914), author, conservationist, and glaciologist; George Bird Grinnell (1849-1938), essayist and editor of Forest and Stream; and Charles Keeler (1871-1937), poet and director of the Museum of the California Academy of Sciences. The scientific discoveries of the expedition were published by the Smithsonian Institution in the thirteen volumes titled Harriman Alaska Expedition (1901-1914); the first two volumes, published by Doubleday, Page and Company in 1901, are usually considered the “narrative set” of the expedition.

Rumours. Great album, bad phenomena. The Blackout have just tasted their own version of rumours after announcing their latest tour - they've called it The Final Party Tour. Over to the band: "To quash the stupid rumour mills, we're not splitting up, you'd have to rip our instruments out our cold dead hearts before that happened". So there you have it. Although terminating one's own musical career during a peak period isn't unheard of, in the case of The Blackout, it just wouldn't make sense. They've had a pretty good year after releasing their fourth album "Start the Party", with it reaching #35 and all, plus tour-dates have been selling out in a matter of hours in some cases. But, as with all things creative, bands move on and The Blackout are no exception - Sean Smith's boys need to draw a line under their recent opus, hence the decision to Start the Party one last time, before setting to work on their fifth long-playing delight. For The Final Party tour in the autumn, which will follow their Reading and Leeds Festival slots in August, they'll be joined by upcoming punksters Framing Hanley and Blitz Kids, so you'll be in great company throughout the jaunt. First stop will be Southsea's Wedgewood Rooms on 21st October, followed by Exeter, Cardiff, Birmingham and loads more, including a London show, until Belfast on 2nd November, with a Dublin show confirmed for the 3rd. Tickets are on sale now, priced from £15 upwards. Demand will be just a bit massive.

Another two rooms ready! It is a lot of work! But fun work! The dog is symbol for how faithful Monet stayed to his idea’s about painting (catching the light) even though he often struggled with painting on location (when weather or seasons change). The card with the words Bonne Anneé (happy birthday) is such a romantic card. I’m not sure, but I believe Monet was a romantic person. He wrote very loving words in his letters to Alice (his second wife). The second room is a room with a lot of symbols. There is a frame (for all the paintings Monet made) with the leg of the man on the postcard in the other room. I really don’t know what that mean? Can you think of something? The flowers again, waterlilies in the pond on the wall on the right and on the round box. the writing on the floor and on the teabag. The key for the time he had found the key to success. He was lucky to be successful at the end of his live! The feather for his spirituality: wanting to catch the light. And you see the third curved tube. What is going on there? Is it for gas? For water? I think it is the most mysterious room. Muurvuller is a sort of cement. I had leftover and was in for a experiment. I’ve smeared it on a piece of cardboard, also a left over. It had to dry a long time. This week I painted watercolor over it and made a collage with left overs and a newspaper photo. The cement is to fragile, it breaks very easy. So I’m not happy with the results and I probably will throw it in the bin. But I hate making things for the bin, so I made a photo and edited it with Photoshop. Is it better now? In Natalie Goldbergs book Living colors I found a very inspirational lesson: Invent titles and use the titles for abstract painting. I barely make abstract paintings, I do not know where to start. But this is the way for me! I couldn’t stop before I finished them. It was fun! Try it yourself! Do you see what title fits to the painting? Do you like them? Faces are my favorite subject to draw and paint. In the year of Spark we made faces to use crayon on paper as a carbon paper. I don’t feel free to explain it here because Carla discovered the technique. The lines become very colored as you can see. I love this technique! For the faces and the background we used watercolor. I wasn’t very happy with these. Not a lot of contrast. I made these four to take it a little further for myself. And inspired by an other student I finished one with Photoshop. I used a letter I bought in France this summer written in 1807 (!) in the background. In the Volkskrant (newspaper) of today I found a very attractive photo. I like it very much and I’m not sure why. I think because the photo is a bit absurd. It seems as if the men were swept down in a pile and they are not happy. I like the contrast light/dark. Immediately I felt the urge to draw them. The men are the cast of a play called: van Waveren by Alize Zandwijk in Rotterdam. While drawing, I listened to the radio where Alize was interviewed. I really love such ‘accidental’ synchronicity. With watercolor I made shadow. For me the drawing is finished now. What do you think? This little room is for Camille. She was the first wife of Monet. She died a year after her second son was born. You see the three harts in one. Her love for Claude Monet and for her sons, Jean and Michel. The drawing is not based on her but it is just a French looking lady who I draw some time ago. And you see a stamped teabag with text on it. It represent the words she couldn’t say any more. And there is a fence which means she can’t be reached after her death. That room is closed. Sorry, this is a sad room.

A lovely village that is very popular with tourists. At the centre is Tissington Hall, which is some 400 years old and is still the family home to the Fitzherbert family since its origins. The Church of St Mary’s dates back to the Norman era, and the village holds its well dressing celebrations on Ascension Day. The Tissington trail passes by and is consistently popular with walkers and cyclists year after year.

Master Pan Wing Chow was the portrait of health as he continued to perform the original Chen style tai chi chuan as taught to him by master Chen Fake back in the early 1930’s till his death in 1996. The late master Pan maintained his dedication to the traditional style of Chen style tai chi maintaining the original form over the years of his life. Master Pan began to learn tai chi while attending the university in Peking. He was one of a few who learned Chen style tai chi outside of the Chenjiagou village, from the Henan province where master Chen lived. Master Chen Fake was hired by a group of people to come and teach in Peking. There master Pan was introduced to master Chen at the home of his friend Mr. Liou who belonged to the Henan Association. At that time master Chen Fake was living at the Henan Association Headquarters. Mr. Liou was teaching master Pan Wu style tai chi but told him if he really wanted to learn tai chi he should learn from the master himself — Chen Fake. Master Pan described his teacher master Chen as warm hearted, willing to help people, humble, kind and very patient. Master Chen was about 44 years old at the time and his techniques were very good and powerful. Master Chen also taught him the History of Chen style tai chi. He said that the form had undergone many changes and had been passed down from generation to generation for over 600 years at Chenjiagou village until it became a fixed form as taught at that present time. He taught ten students in the United States. They are: Yun-Tei Pan, New York, N.Y., Randal T. Choy, Hawaii, Kuang-Hsi Wu, Urbana, Ill, Paul Wen-Pei Chou, San Francisco, CA, Chy-Chun Ho, Buffalo, N.Y., James W. Mcneil, Rainbow, CA., Albert A. Dalia, Hawaii, Victor R. Keahiolalo, Hawaii, and Yu-Hung Chang, Arlington, Texas. Since he began his training in 1982 with Master Pan, Master James McNeil has remained faithful to the training and the art. He currently teaches it at Little Nine Heaven in its original form.

CHILE - The Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) programme has expanded its certifications of international salmon facilities with the successful audit of Comsur Ltd, the processing plant division of Trusal S.A. in Puerto Montt, Chile. "The Global Aquaculture Alliance congratulates Comsur Ltd. on its achievement of BAP plant certification," GAA President George Chamberlain said. "We feel a debt of gratitude to Comsur for being the first salmon company to proactively invite BAP to conduct a trial audit of its outstanding plant. Such cooperation and transparency are key to public trust, which is essential to the future advancement of aquaculture." With a daily production capacity of 120 tons and staff of 850 during high season, Comsur Ltd. is the only plant in the Chilean salmon industry with facilities designed to receive, process and store product in a continuous flow. This non-stop approach yields high-quality fish that satisfy demanding markets that include end users of raw salmon. "By achieving the BAP certification, our ongoing commitment to search for improvements in our operations is reconfirmed," Rodrigo Fernando Matus Navarrete, Comsur Ltd. general manager, said. "Meeting the standards allowed our company to advance in a significant way through new techniques and methods in quality management." "BAP certification also adds value to our products in foreign markets by answering the needs of our main clients for salmon that meets these high standards," he said. Developed by the Global Aquaculture Alliance, the international Best Aquaculture Practices standards require biodiversity protection, effluent limits, worker safety and strict controls on chemical use. The processing plant standards also reinforce existing HACCP plans and require traceability. The certification process includes site inspections and in-depth audits by third-party certification bodies.

The Michigan Contraceptive Access, Research, and Evaluation Study (M-CARES) will use large-scale administrative data, complemented by follow-up surveys and a randomized intervention, to estimate the causal impact of greater financial access to contraception. We will study effects on a broad set of outcomes, including contraceptive use, pregnancy, and parenting strategies; partnership decisions; health care use; education, labor market success, and public assistance receipt; mental health and stress; and life plans. The resulting estimates will inform a more complete understanding of the costs and benefits of financial access to contraception and, therefore, the investment value of related policies and programs.

When planting our estate vineyard in 1999, the slope and remoteness of the site proved challenging work. More than fifteen years later we are gratified by and very proud of the superior Cabernet produced from Cloudy's Vineyard. The higher elevation, excellent drainage, and slightly cooler morning temperatures imbue the fruit with distinctly mountain characteristics. Wine AdvocateThe 2013 Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon Cloudy's Vineyard hails from the Dutch Henry Canyon between the Switchback and Hourglass vineyards, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and a more backward mountain style with noticeable tannin and structure. With a dense purple color and plenty of blueberry, black raspberry, violets and oak spice, it is powerful, full-bodied and moderately tannic. Forget this for 4-5 years and drink it over the following three decades. Connoisseurs' Guide to California WineIf the differences among the Janzen Cabernets are fewer than the traits that they share, each has its own voice and this one speaks directly to cassis, root beer, cola and cream sweetened coffee. It, too, is a big and very broad wine with a wonderfully sustained sense of well-rendered fruit keeping pace with its very obvious oak, and it shows uncannily fine balance for the ample offering that it is. It is less about elegance just now than it is about richness, but it is free of palpable heat despite its obvious ripeness, and its last-minute tannins, while brusque at the moment, are matched step for step by relentless fruit and provide no more than the right measure of structural grip that aging requires. Wine SpectatorPleasantly oaky and cedary, with nutmeg and hazelnut accents to the licorice and blackberry flavors, turning to mocha, espresso, dried herb and underbrush details. Finishes with a potent aftertaste. Drink now through 2028. 197 cases made.

So much to do on any Peruvian tour, what you should see and what you should you miss. When traveling to Peru there are parts of the country that should not be missed. Everyone that travels to Peru visits the legendary Machu Picchu and the Cusco Area of the country; yes, that area is necessary for the history and the beauty of the Andes Mountains. Many other areas also are worth your holiday time and dollar. Lima is the capital of Peru and has much to attract the visitor. Try the restaurants and the see the mix of old and new cultures. The jungle should not be missed with all the natural beauty you could ever want to see. However, today we are going to talk about one of the most beautiful places in Peru and what you will see on a Colca Canyon Tour. Located around a six hour drive from Arequipa, a Colca Canyon tour is a must see on your next vacation to Peru. The canyon is 13650 ft. deep and is the second deepest canyon in the world. Most people who travel to the canyon set out from the Southern Peruvian city of Arequipa. Arequipa is without a doubt one of the nicest cities in Peru, both climate and city wise. The colonial city is built from white volcanic rock, giving the city its name as the white city. Three volcanos surround Arequipa with El Misti still active. The best place to see the Condors in Peru is at the Cruz del Condor Mirador. From here, you will get the best views and see the wonderful Andean Condor. Native to South America the bird makes its home in the canyon. A relative of the vulture, the condor is not very nice to look at up close, but when flying the bird has a wingspan of 10.5 ft. The birds gracefully soar on the thermal drafts created in the canyon. For a once in a lifetime experience and for the most chances of seeing the condor go to the canyon in the dry season which is May to December. Make sure you take your camera, as the birds are not camera shy and do come very close. It is also worth visiting the Canyon in the rainy season as it is very lush and green and features many flowers. Whatever time you choose to visit Arequipa and the Colca Canyon, you will see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, sheer cliffs that rise into the sky, something that you will never forget. The added bonus is the majestic Condor to which you will get up close and personal. So do not miss out on the Colca Canyon as part of your Peru adventure. The town of Chivay has some luxury hotels you can stay as part of your luxury tours in Peru. Situated in a beautiful setting the hideaway and spa Las Casitas del Colca offers a rare opportunity to experience the traditional beauty of Peru. Slip into a gentle pace of life as you spend time in harmony with the astounding nature and warm local communities of this lush valley. Not only is there the luxury accommodation to enjoy but also breathtaking hikes, condor watching, trout fishing and more: the Colca Canyon offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Back at the hotel, guests can try their hand at Alpaca feeding or unlock the secrets of local cuisine with a hands-on cookery class. Before you decide on what tour you will take in Peru you will need some Peru travel advice, find a travel agent with years of experience in the travel industry that can advise you on the best places to visit in Peru. While on your vacation do not forget to see the magnificent Colca Canyon and the surrounding areas. While there take some time in Peru’s second city of Arequipa a pleasant city to spend some time with some of the best climate in Peru.

This is a guest post from my friend, Greg. Greg works for Blue Haven Pools--one of the largest builders of swimming pools OKC has to offer. Greg has discovered a passion for landscaping and pool building and now wants to share his expertise. Above ground pool deck plans make a backyard a wonderful get a way spot. Above ground pool deck plans are an affordable way to have fun at home. While you put in a swimming pool, think seriously about the variety of deck plans to choose from. Some things to keep in mind when choosing your pool deck are installation and pool accessories. Above ground pools are sometimes installed slightly below the surface this blends the surface of the pool into the environment and adds a more aesthetic look to the pool. When positioned at ground level the pool has a standard pool surface which gives that classic contoured look to the surrounding area. When deciding upon a deck plan this idea offers variety in style. Above ground pool deck plans are very receptive to the addition of a hot tub. These units sit within their own structures or may sit below the deck. Hot tubs are a fun accessory when added to a lovely deck. The luxury of a hot tub and pool on your personal deck is something you can take pleasure in and use for years. Wood is certainly a sturdy and gorgeous material but with an above ground pool this is not the best material to use. Pool chemicals are destructive to basic wood making mixtures of treated wood the better option. There are dozens of composite wood textures and colors that work well with above ground pool deck plans. The variation in material makes an excellent setting for an above ground pool. These materials are chosen in an effort to stop water damage from destroying a beautiful pool area and to help your investment last for many years. The combination of plastic and recycled wood is practical for this setting and will not allow water to ruin the beauty of your home. Another alternative to wood mixtures are vinyl materials. They are far less costly and do a good job protecting your deck from pool chemicals. The expense of wood mixtures is an alternative for homeowners prepared to make a substantial financial investment in an above ground pool deck plan. The amount of useful materials available present creative options. Looking around at the construction of the above ground pool, you will find the deck is elevated. This is the standard design of this pool; a high deck. A part of this system is the pool pump and finding a place to put it. Underneath the deck might be the sensible area if it is high enough and the working part of the pool is hidden from view. Builders may offers this spot as an option. These pools look good and give your family the option of staying home rather than trying to go out just to use a pool. Relax on your deck, soak in your pool or hot tub in the privacy of your home. Above ground pool deck plans offer millions of homeowners a chance to create a backyard paradise.

annual opportunity for Jews to reflect on their actions, to make amends for their wrongs, to seek forgiveness from their fellow man first and ultimately to seek atonement with God. monumentally important. It reflects the responsibility that Jews have for one another, so while I myself may not have committed murder, I did share responsibility for my brother’s actions. Further, if I look deeply within myself, I will find some part of me that identifies with the sin. My harsh words might have damaged someone’s self-esteem, for example. In addition to the shared responsibility for sin, Jews recognize a shared responsibility for good works. That notion of shared merit helps to explain the popularity of the Pharisees among the Jewish peasant class. Not only were Pharisees generous with tzedakah, or giving what’s fair to those in need, their fasting and other acts of piety accrued merit for the whole community. This perspective lets us see the Christian parable of the Pharisee and the tax-collector (Luke 18) in its original context. then he offers to share his merit—his tzedekah for the tax collector’s taking by force, his fasting for the tax collector’s feeding off his neighbors, etc. The parable concludes, “I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other.” Ok, which one was justified? Vanderbilt Professor of New Testament Studies Amy-Jill Levine asserts “rather than” is properly translated “along side.” In any case, suggesting an unreformed tax-collector could be justified at all would have astonished 1st century Jews. purpose of the laws is not improved health, financial gain or appearance. Rather, they offer a myriad of daily opportunities to submit one’s will for the sake of honoring God. Observing Halakhah both strengthens spirituality for the individual through daily practice and earns merit for the community, and hence is at once cause and effect of faithfulness. In view of shared merit, good works not only benefit a Jew’s fellow man in an earthly way but also lift him up spiritually. Join the conversation. What brings you present moment mindfulness for the sake of honoring God?

I join the opinion of Justice Thomas concurring in the judgment. I write separately to provide what I think is needed response to Justice Stevens' separate opinion. Justice Stevens concludes as follows: "[T]he imposition of the death penalty represents the pointless and needless extinction of life with only marginal contributions to any discernible social or public purposes. A penalty with such negligible returns to the State [is] patently excessive and cruel and unusual punishment violative of the Eighth Amendment." Ante, at 86 (opinion concurring in judgment) (internal quotation marks omitted; second bracket in original). This conclusion is insupportable as an interpretation of the Constitution, which generally leaves it to democratically elected legislatures rather than courts to decide what makes significant contribution to social or public purposes. Besides that more general proposition, the very text of the document recognizes that the death penalty is a permissible legislative choice. The Fifth Amendment expressly requires a [p. 88] This conclusion is insupportable as an interpretation of the Constitution, which generally leaves it to democratically elected legislatures rather than courts to decide what makes significant contribution to social or public purposes.

Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 176–178 (1976) (joint opinion of Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, JJ.). Writing in 1977, Professor Hugo Bedau—no friend of the death penalty himself—observed that "[u]ntil fifteen years ago, save for a few mavericks, no one gave any credence to the possibility of ending the death penalty by judicial interpretation of constitutional law." The Courts, the Constitution, and Capital Punishment 118 (1977). There is simply no legal authority for the proposition that the imposition of death as a criminal penalty is unconstitutional other than the opinions in Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972) (per curiam), which established a nationwide moratorium on capital punishment that Justice Stevens had a hand in ending four years later in Gregg. What prompts Justice Stevens to repudiate his prior view and to adopt the astounding position that a criminal sanction expressly mentioned in the Constitution violates the Constitution? His analysis begins with what he believes to be the "uncontroversial legal premise" that the "'extinction of life with only marginal contributions to any discernible social or public purposes...would be patently excessive' and violative of the Eighth Amendment." Ante, at 83 (quoting in part Furman, supra, at 312 (White, J., concurring)); see also ante, at 78 (citing Gregg, supra, at 183, and n. 28). Even if that were uncontroversial in the abstract (and it is certainly not what occurs to me as the meaning of "cruel and unusual punishments"), it is assuredly controversial (indeed, flatout wrong) as applied to a mode of punishment that is explicitly sanctioned by the Constitution. As to that, the [p. 89] people have determined whether there is adequate contribution to social or public purposes, and it is no business of unelected judges to set that judgment aside. But even if we grant Justice Stevens his "uncontroversial premise," his application of that premise to the current practice of capital punishment does not meet the "heavy burden [that] rests on those who would attack the judgment of the representatives of the people." Gregg, supra, at 175 (joint opinion of Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, JJ.). That is to say, Justice Stevens' policy analysis of the constitutionality of capital punishment fails on its own terms. According to Justice Stevens, the death penalty promotes none of the purposes of criminal punishment because it neither prevents more crimes than alternative measures nor serves a retributive purpose. Ante, at 78. He argues that "the recent rise in statutes providing for life imprisonment without the possibility of parole" means that States have a ready alternative to the death penalty. Ibid. Moreover, "[d]espite 30 years of empirical research in the area, there remains no reliable statistical evidence that capital punishment in fact deters potential offenders." Ante, at 79. Taking the points together, Justice Stevens concludes that the availability of alternatives, and what he describes as the unavailability of "reliable statistical evidence," renders capital punishment unconstitutional. In his view, the benefits of capital punishment—as compared to other forms of punishment such as life imprisonment—are outweighed by the costs. These conclusions are not supported by the available data. Justice Stevens' analysis barely acknowledges the "significant body of recent evidence that capital punishment may well have a deterrent effect, possibly a quite powerful one." Sunstein & Vermeule, Is Capital Punishment Morally Required? Acts, Omissions, and Life-Life Tradeoffs, 58 Stan. L. Rev. 703, 706 (2005); see also id., at 706, n. 9 (listing the approximately half a dozen studies supporting this conclu- [p. 90] sion). According to a "leading national study," "each execution prevents some eighteen murders, on average." Id., at 706. "If the current evidence is even roughly correct...then a refusal to impose capital punishment will effectively condemn numerous innocent people to death." Ibid. Of course, it may well be that the empirical studies establishing that the death penalty has a powerful deterrent effect are incorrect, and some scholars have disputed its deterrent value. See ante, at 79, n. 13. But that is not the point. It is simply not our place to choose one set of responsible empirical studies over another in interpreting the Constitution. Nor is it our place to demand that state legislatures support their criminal sanctions with foolproof empirical studies, rather than commonsense predictions about human behavior. "The value of capital punishment as a deterrent of crime is a complex factual issue the resolution of which properly rests with the legislatures, which can evaluate the results of statistical studies in terms of their own local conditions and with a flexibility of approach that is not available to the courts." Gregg, supra, at 186 (joint opinion of Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, JJ.). Were Justice Stevens' current view the constitutional test, even his own preferred criminal sanction—life imprisonment without the possibility of parole— may fail constitutional scrutiny, because it is entirely unclear that enough empirical evidence supports that sanction as compared to alternatives such as life with the possibility of parole. But even if Justice Stevens' assertion about the deterrent value of the death penalty were correct, the death penalty would yet be constitutional (as he concedes) if it served the appropriate purpose of retribution. I would think it difficult indeed to prove that a criminal sanction fails to serve a retributive purpose—a judgment that strikes me as inherently subjective and insusceptible of judicial review. Justice Stevens, however, concludes that, because the Eighth Amendment "protect[s] the inmate from enduring any pun- [p. 91] ishment that is comparable to the suffering inflicted on his victim," capital punishment serves no retributive purpose at all. Ante, at 80–81. The infliction of any pain, according to Justice Stevens, violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments, but so too does the imposition of capital punishment without pain because a criminal penalty lacks a retributive purpose unless it inflicts pain commensurate with the pain that the criminal has caused. In other words, if a punishment is not retributive enough, it is not retributive at all. To state this proposition is to refute it, as Justice Stevens once understood. "[T]he decision that capital punishment may be the appropriate sanction in extreme cases is an expression of the community's belief that certain crimes are themselves so grievous an affront to humanity that the only adequate response may be the penalty of death." Gregg, 428 U.S., at 184 (joint opinion of Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, JJ.). Justice Stevens' final refuge in his cost-benefit analysis is a familiar one: There is a risk that an innocent person might be convicted and sentenced to death—though not a risk that Justice Stevens can quantify, because he lacks a single example of a person executed for a crime he did not commit in the current American system. See ante, at 84–86. His analysis of this risk is thus a series of sweeping condemnations that, if taken seriously, would prevent any punishment under any criminal justice system. According to him, "[t]he prosecutorial concern that death verdicts would rarely be returned by 12 randomly selected jurors should be viewed as objective evidence supporting the conclusion that the penalty is excessive." Ante, at 84. But prosecutors undoubtedly have a similar concern that any unanimous conviction would rarely be returned by 12 randomly selected jurors. That is why they, like defense counsel, are permitted to use the challenges for cause and peremptory challenges that Justice Stevens finds so troubling, in order to arrive at a jury that both sides believe will be more likely to do justice in a [p. 92] particular case. Justice Stevens' concern that prosecutors will be inclined to challenge jurors who will not find a person guilty supports not his conclusion, but the separate (and equally erroneous) conclusion that peremptory challenges and challenges for cause are unconstitutional. According to Justice Stevens, "the risk of error in capital cases may be greater than in other cases because the facts are often so disturbing that the interest in making sure the crime does not go unpunished may overcome residual doubt concerning the identity of the offender." Ante, at 84–85. That rationale, however, supports not Justice Stevens' conclusion that the death penalty is unconstitutional, but the more sweeping proposition that any conviction in a case in which facts are disturbing is suspect—including, of course, convictions resulting in life without parole in those States that do not have capital punishment. The same is true of Justice Stevens' claim that there is a risk of "discriminatory application of the death penalty." Ante, at 85. The same could be said of any criminal penalty, including life without parole; there is no proof that in this regard the death penalty is distinctive. But actually none of this really matters. As Justice Stevens explains, "'objective evidence, though of great importance, [does] not wholly determine the controversy, for the Constitution contemplates that in the end our own judgment will be brought to bear on the question of the acceptability of the death penalty under the Eighth Amendment.'" Ante, at 83 (quoting Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304, 312 (2002); emphasis added; some internal quotation marks omitted). “I have relied on my own experience in reaching the conclusion that the imposition of the death penalty" is unconstitutional. Ante, at 86 (emphasis added). Purer expression cannot be found of the principle of rule by judicial fiat. In the face of Justice Stevens' experience, the experience of all others is, it appears, of little consequence. The experience of the state legislatures and the Congress—who retain the death penalty as a form of punishment—is dismissed as "the product of habit and inattention rather than an acceptable deliberative process." Ante, at 78. The experience of social scientists whose studies indicate that the death penalty deters crime is relegated to a footnote. Ante, at 79, n. 13. The experience of fellow citizens who support the death penalty is described, with only the most thinly veiled condemnation, as stemming from a "thirst for vengeance." Ante, at 80. It is Justice Stevens' experience that reigns over all. I take no position on the desirability of the death penalty, except to say that its value is eminently debatable and the subject of deeply, indeed passionately, held views—which means, to me, that it is preeminently not a matter to be resolved here. And especially not when it is explicitly permitted by the Constitution.

“All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name”. One of the great factors in the world today is the state of relations between the various nations. How are China and the United States working out? What is going to happen in Israel? Or the European Union? Despite their profound self-consciousness at being called and chosen by God to be his special people and of being favoured and loved by him, the Israelites had such a deep sense of God and of his immense power that they cherished a secret hope that one day they would become such a great and powerful nation that other nations would queue up to join them in order to worship their God. In contradiction to this they also considered Gentiles “unclean” to mix with, a sense that became sharper as the centuries slipped by. So superior to all other gods did they consider their God to be that they pictured the various nations arriving in Jerusalem to worship God in the temple. It was a forlorn hope. But it was a beautiful dream. When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost the end result was that the apostles were inspired to spread the news of Jesus to the Mediterranean world. Led by Paul they preached their way through Syria and what is now Turkey. People were converted to Jesus all along the way, many abandoning their Jewish faith in the process. From Turkey they went to Greece and eventually to Rome. Three hundred years later the Christian faith became the official faith of the Roman Empire. Some Christians still hope that one day people of all nations will come to know and worship Jesus. Lord, I pray that all nations will come to know you.

From 1871-1903, Trinity Medical College thrived as a proprietary medical school associated with Trinity College prior to Trinity’s amalgamation with the University of Toronto in 1904. Trinity Medical College can trace its beginnings to the Medical Faculty at Trinity College, which existed from 1850 to 1856. Despite the apparent success of this early Medical Faculty, all six founding members resigned in 1856, most likely due to tensions around the strict requirement that all Trinity students be members of the United Church of England and Ireland (the Anglican church). Re-establishment of a medical school at Trinity was considered by committees of the Trinity Corporation in 1863, 1866, and 1867 but nothing came of these efforts. In 1869-70, further discussions resulted in the provisional appointment of four of the founding members of the former Medical Faculty as a Board of Medical Examiners for Trinity College (Dr. James Bovell, Dr. Norman Bethune, Dr. William Hallowell, and Dr. Edward M. Hodder). In addition, the statute necessitating declaration as a member of the Anglican church was amended in such a way that the requirement still stood but in practice students did not have to make the declaration, effectively allowing non-Anglican students to register at Trinity. In 1871, the four examiners were appointed as the first professors of the reconstituted Trinity Medical Faculty, and Dr. W.B. Geikie, eventually Dean of the Medical College, was appointed as one of two new examiners. By the end of 1871, a new building was erected on a site close to the Toronto General Hospital and several professors had been added to the faculty. Over the next several years, under the diligent administration of Dr. Geikie, the Trinity faculty developed a strong reputation as a provider of quality medical education and training. In 1877, influenced by the alleged actions of the rival Toronto School of Medicine to effectively block Trinity students from competing for University of Toronto honours and prizes, the Trinity Medical Faculty, with Trinity College consent, applied for and obtained from the Ontario Legislature an Act of Incorporation as an independent teaching body called Trinity Medical School. Incorporation gave to Trinity Medical School the power to affiliate with any university granting medical degrees, thus allowing their students to take examinations at any degree-granting University they chose. In practice, however, most Trinity medical students continued to take their exams at Trinity. However, both the newly-independent Trinity Medical School and Trinity College continued to view the medical school as the medical faculty of the college. By 1879 a new wing was built onto the Trinity Medical School facilities, but there was a growing view on the part of the provincial government that competing proprietary medical schools could no longer provide satisfactory medical education that increasingly required additional teaching facilities and newer, more complicated and costly equipment. The political shift toward one strong publicly-financed medical teaching faculty in Toronto was exemplified in 1887 when the Minister of Education invited Trinity Medical School and the Toronto School of Medicine to come together as the Medical Faculty of the University of Toronto. The Toronto School of Medicine accepted the offer, but Trinity Medical School refused. Perhaps in support of their medical school’s view that independent medical education could continue to provide everything required, the Trinity Corporation provided some of their limited funds for improving teaching facilities and purchasing equipment and upgraded the medical school faculty to college status in 1888: Trinity Medical School became Trinity Medical College. Throughout the 1890s the movement toward federation with the University of Toronto grew stronger. By 1900, faced with mounting deficits and falling registration, it was clear that Trinity would work towards federation with the University of Toronto. Dr. W.B. Geikie, now Dean of the Medical College, and the Corporation of Trinity Medical College, remained strongly opposed to federation and the amalgamation of their Medical College with University of Toronto’s Medical Faculty. In 1902, ongoing discussions between the Corporation of Trinity Medical College and a committee of the Trinity Corporation resulted in an agreement to reinstate the Medical College as the Medical Faculty of Trinity University and provide funds for a proposed new building. However, the continued existence of an independent Trinity University and its medical school was not to be. In April 1903, the Medical College surrendered its Charter to Trinity University to be held in trust, which enabled the Trinity Corporation to act for the Medical College in amalgamation discussions. In July 1903 the Trinity Corporation formally constituted the Corporation of Trinity Medical College as the Medical Faculty of Trinity University. At the same time the Trinity Corporation stated that should federation with the University of Toronto occur, the Medical Faculty of Trinity University should amalgamate with the Medical Faculty at the University of Toronto. Although the final agreement on federation did not occur until October 1904, the medical faculties were amalgamated in 1903. In June of that year the resignations of all Trinity Medical College staff were received. The faculty members, with the exception of Dean Geikie, became members of the Faculty of the University of Toronto and the amalgamated faculties met for the first time in October 1903.

Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party joins the hundreds of organisations in support of the demonstration to be held on the 12th of December in Copenhagen during the UN Summit on Climate Change. Meanwhile, a resolution adopted by the European Parliament today with a big majority (516 votes for, 92 against, 70 abstentions) calls on the EU to improve its negotiating position both as regards emissions targets but also on the crucial issue of climate financing. The EU has continued to avoid adopting a clear pledge on climate finance, preferring to play a kind of poker game in the negotiations. MEPs today called for the EU to commit at least 30 billion Euro per annum by 2020. A bold move like this could breathe new life into the climate talks ahead and convince other countries to go the extra mile in Copenhagen and agree a deal that is consistent with limiting warming to 2°C. Despite the pessimism of last week, the EU and the UNFCCC have continued to stress that the Copenhagen summit can and must deliver agreement on the key political issues (like emissions targets and financing), with the full legal treaty to be finalised in 2010.

Notes: Notes: 수고하다 is often used when leaving a place of business (like a store or office). Korean people usually say “수고하세요!” which literally translates to telling somebody to “work hard.” This would be very awkward to say in English, but is common in Korean. It is also possible to say “수고했어요!” to thank a person for helping you in some way. Essentially, you are telling the person that he/she worked hard, and that you are thankful for this. 밥 말고 빵 먹을래요? = Instead of rice, shall we eat bread? Notes: Notes: ~아/어하다 is sometimes added to adjectives when they describe an emotion experienced by another person. This is discussed more in Lesson 105. Notes: This word is sort of a mix between a “nice” personality and something that is “tame” in a way that it is easy to take care of. Therefore, it is kind of strange to use this word directly to describe a person, as it kind of implies that you are “taming” or “controlling” the person. = This station is Seoul Station. Seoul Station. The exit doors are on the right. 가만히 있어! = Stay still!/Don’t move! In this lesson, you will learn how to tell people to do things. If you are a grammar buff, you know this as the Imperative Mood. If you’re not so into grammar, this “mood” is used when giving people commands/telling people what to do. You will learn how to do this in Korean, often in conjunction with the word ‘주다,’ which we will talk about in the next lesson. All of those mean exactly the same thing. In the imperative mood as well, there are many different ways you can give a command to somebody. Let’s cover these from the least formal, to the most formal. 열심히 공부해! = Study hard! Notice that in both English and Korean, the subject isn’t usually used in a sentence when giving a command. This is because the person you are giving the command to is usually the subject, so it is omitted. You can use this form when you are giving a command to somebody who is younger than you or the same age as you, or somebody who you are close with. Saying something like “빨리 가!” to your superior would most likely warrant a slap in the face. 열심히 공부해요! = Study hard! In these cases, distinguishing between a regular sentence and an imperative sentence is done through context. When you first learn this, you think it would be impossible to do, but trust me; it is easy to distinguish by considering the situation. Although they differ in their respective levels of politeness, all of the above are acceptable ways to make a command. That being said, each of the last examples (the one using ~(으)셔요) is less common. Instead, the construction of ~(으)셔요 is often pronounced and written as ~(으)세요, which we will discuss next. If you have been studying Korean for a while (and if you are here on Lesson 40 you probably have been), you are probably already quite familiar with the ~(으)세요 form. This is one of the first things people learn when they study Korean, but I waited until Lesson 40 to teach it to you. Trust me, there is a method to my madness. I will say it again: Only when you see “~(으)셔요” can you use “~(으)세요. 열심히 운동하세요! = Work out hard! As you learned in the previous lesson, 계시다 is the formal equivalent of this usage of 있다. When ~아/어요 is added to 계시다 to create a command, the construction 계셔요 is formed which you now know can be presented as “계세요.” This is where the expression “안녕히 계세요” (which translates to “stay in peace”) comes from. The majority of Korean learners don’t know that ~(으)셔요 and ~(으)세요 are equivalent ways to end a sentence. To be honest, you don’t really need to know this. The use of ~(으)세요 in Korean is much more common when making a command so as an early learner of Korean it isn’t immediately important. For now, I would suggest using the ~(으)세요 form when giving a command to a person who deserves respect, but at the same time be aware of the ~(으)셔요 form in case it comes up. Now… this brings us to another problem. ~(으)셔요 can be added to make a command. 선생님, 어디 가셔요? = Teacher, where are you going? 선생님, 어디 가세요? = Teacher, where are you going? 그 사람이 언제 오셔요? = When is that person coming? 그 사람이 언제 오세요? = When is that person coming? Refer back to Lesson 7 on irregulars to review these concepts. Let’s look at another ending you can use to make a command. 빨리 가라! = Go fast! If you want to give a command to somebody in a formal way, check out the next section. Adding ~(으)십시오 to a verb stem is done in the same manner as when adding ~(으)세요. That is, the same irregulars come in to play. However, adding ~(으)십시오 to a verb stem allows you to give a command very formally. You will most likely only use this form in a few circumstances, as it is usually reserved for times when speaking to people who deserve a ridiculous amount of respect. If you were to meet your girlfriend/boyfriend’s grandparents for the very first time, you might use this ending. You will also see it sometimes in government buildings/stores/restaurants on signs telling you to “come again” or stuff like that. You can also use the imperative mood to make a negative command. In these sentences, you can tell somebody not do something. These sentences require the use of the word “말다.” 말다 can be used in other situations as well, but I will present those to you as they become important (for example, you will see 말다 used to eliminate a choice in Lesson 73 and used with ~든지 in Lesson 106). In order to make those constructions a command, you should use one of the imperative conjugations that I taught you earlier in the lesson. 가다 + ~아/어 = 가! 가다 + ~아/어라 = 가라! 가다 + ~아/어요 = 가요! 가다 + ~(으)십시오 = 가십시오! 1) 가지 말다 + ~아/어 = 가지 말아! 가지 마! 3) 가지 말다 + ~아/어요 = 가지 말요! 가지 마요! 4) 가지 말다 + ~(으)세요 = 가지 마세요! 5) 가지 말다 + ~(으)십시오 = 가지 마십시오! Notice that numbers 1, 2 and 3 go against the normal grammatical rules of Korean. 말다 is an irregular verb in this respect and to my knowledge no other verb follows this pattern. 너무 빨리 먹지 마세요 = Don’t eat your food too fast! 부끄러워하지 마세요 = Don’t be shy! 그렇게 하지 마! = Don’t do it like that! 집에 가지 마! = Don’t go home! 앉지 마! = Don’t sit down! You can see ~지 말다 attached to 내려가다 on a Korean sign in this YouTube video. Before we finish this lesson, let’s talk about some specific ways these imperative sentences can be used. 엄마가 요리한 음식을 먹어 봤어? = Did you try the food mom cooked? 이것을 먹어 봐! = Try eating this! Especially when used in the least formal imperative form (~아/어 봐), it is very common to see this used simply as a command without any meaning of “try/attempt.” Nonetheless, the meaning of “try/attempt” is often very subtle and doesn’t really change the meaning of much in the sentence.

First Came Fashion: Parmesan Taters with Spicy Ketchup. Probably one of my top 5 food moments while in New York was discovering the Parmesan Taters and spicy ketchup at P.J. Clarke's. Even better, it's incredibly easy to make and brings an instant smile to your face with just one taste. They're heavenly. Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine tater tots and olive oil in a bowl, toss to coat and place on a bakers sheet and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove tots from the oven, season with garlic and pepper and transfer into a mixing bowl. Add garlic, parsley and cheese, toss to coat and serve immediately. For the spicy ketchup, mix Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, brown sugar, cayenne pepper and garlic salt with ketchup together in a bowl.

Putting aside political wrangling, the 123 newly elected parliamentarians braved heavy rains Satur­day evening to be sworn in by King Norodom Sihanouk at a soggy ceremony outside the Royal Palace. Leaders of the three main political parties joined the ceremony, which formally gave birth to a new National Assembly but offered no solution to the standoff between the ruling CPP and the Alliance of Democrats. Palace officials and honor guard members shouted good wishes to King Sihanouk as he emerged from Tevear Vinichay temple and rewarded about 30 well-dressed guards with 40,000 riel each. The ceremony was broadcast on TVK, and only TVK reporters were allowed inside the palace during the ceremony, despite a request from Information Minister Lu Laysreng to permit journalists to cover the event. The King welcomed Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng as the first parliamentarian to arrive. Sam Rainsy and Funcinpec President Prince Norodom Ranariddh later walked side by side through the palace grounds, leading a train of Funcinpec and Sam Rainsy Party parliamentarians to the temple steps for a photograph. Prime Minister Hun Sen and top CPP leaders Heng Samrin and Chea Sim arrived at the palace last and approached King Sihanouk together. Strong winds and rain cut short a normally prolonged picture session, capturing only a few photographs of the smiling monarch and the new Assembly members. North Korean bodyguards then covered King Sihanouk with an umbrella and supported him for the 20-meter walk to the Serey Mukol temple. Inside the temple, Prince Ranariddh and Sam Rainsy ignored Prime Minister Hun Sen but shook hands with Chea Sim and National Assembly honorary president Heng Samrin inside the temple. Party leaders sat clearly divided at a table, from which they took political oaths led by supreme monks Tep Vong and Bou Kry. Hun Sen sat between Heng Samrin and Chea Sim, while 75-year-old CPP parliamentarian Chea Soth, the oldest Assembly member, separated Chea Sim from Prince Ranariddh. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said Sunday morning that he and the prime minister did not acknowledge each other throughout the evening. “We pretended not to see each other,” he said. At Tep Vong’s prompting, parliamentarians chanted, in unison, promises to serve the nation. “We promise not to exploit the national interest for personal, family and partisan interests. We will sacrifice our lives, in the present time and in the future, to protect Cambodia’s independence, national sovereignty and territory, according to the law of the land and sea borders in 1963 and 1969,” parliamentarians said, echoing Tep Vong’s reading. “We swear to fight against corruption, social injustice and to advocate a compromise for the nation to keep peace and national security,” they chanted. Parliamentarians closed the ceremony sipping from small glasses of oath water for nearly an hour. Sam Rainsy said politics was not on the menu for the royal feast that followed the oath. “The King extended his welcome to his guests and discussed his music but did not [talk] about political affairs even one word,” Sam Rainsy said. More than 300 police were stationed in the rain Saturday to block traffic and secure the palace, according to Bodyguard Department Director Sim Sophal. The swearing-in ceremony is one of many phases in the new government’s formation, according to Constitutional Council member Say Bory. At least 87 parliamentarians must now convene at the Assembly to validate their immunity, he said Sunday. After receiving immunity, it is the duty of the three political parties to elect Assembly leaders, he said, or the Assembly will be useless. Saturday’s event, according to Sam Rainsy, makes the second mandate under Hun Sen a temporary government. Om Yentieng, adviser to the prime minister, said Sunday that Hun Sen’s capacity in office remains as before. CPP spokesman Khieu Kanharith marked the occasion as a small step toward negotiations between the CPP and the Alliance. “The swearing-in ceremony means that we have opened the door widely, which the Sam Rainsy Party closed,” he said. Khieu Kanharith maintained that a political compromise may be brokered only if the Alliance stops demanding a new prime minister. Although the ruling and opposition party leaders made no effort to talk Saturday, conversations shared between Prince Ranariddh, Chea Sim and Chea Soth established a “good environment” for compromise, Khieu Kanharith said. No plans for negotiations were scheduled Sunday.

Youth is the debut studio album by Tèxord based rock band bad medecine, which was released in may 1968. Recordings took place in April, with Stéphane Heulot on drums as Papa Beer and Bobby hadn’t found a drummer yet. The record was produced by Mick Oe, who had lent the youngsters his studios to realise their dream. Initially the record didn’t sell very well, but Papa Beer and Bobby Beeldhouwer went on a small tour through Europe anyway with Piet de Hond, who not only played the drums but also was the only one who had a driving license. After Mick Oe had assisted bad medecine with the first EP ‘popanovic’ in the autumn of 1967, he wanted them to go to school and finish at least one more year, as Papa Beer [born 1952] and Bobby Beeldbouwer [born 1951] were still too young to go on tour. He gave them the opportunity to use a rehearsal space once a week and in their April holidays in 1968, bad medecine got one week of studio time. Together with Gérardo Debakker and Stéphane Heulot, Mick Oe helped the band to write and record their first vinyl record. As a duo, Papa Beer and Bobby always played with two acoustic guitars, but for the recordings they wanted to have bass and drums as well. After the ‘popanovic’ single, Mick had given them a left handed Epiphone Casino guitar, a right handed Rickenbacker bass and two amplifiers. Papa Beer got more comfortable to sing and except for ‘az’ all songs do have lyrics. Papa Beer wrote mostly about the miss of his family and their adventures in the previous summer, Bobby wrote about hanging in the park. Next to their own songs, the album also has two covers of Mick Oe songs. Inspired by Bobby’s aunties record collection of blues musicians, most songs are simply the blues played by a trio. Mick’s youngest interim engineer, Gérardo, added some rhythmic organ on a couple of songs and joined them on their jam ‘please’ for a solo. Also, Mick himself played rhythmic guitars on three songs to give it some more volume and depth. ‘Mother’ is played by Papa Beer solo on his acoustic guitar, and the crack in its body creates a natural distortion. For the sleeve, Papa Beer and Bobby wanted a photo of them but they also wanted to give the idea of being in a three-piece band so they asked Stéphane on it. Like the hippies, they wanted long hairs and beards, but the guys were too young to grow them theirselves so they asked Stéphane not to shave for a week before the photoshoot. Papa Beer’s hairs were still very short when they recorded so he wore a fisherman’s hat and Bobby put on his aunties funkiest glasses for the photoshoot. A couple of weeks after the recordings were done, Gérardo introduced Papa Beer & Bobby to Piet de Hond. They jammed a couple of times with the four of them, but Gérardo preferred to focus on the technical aspect so he didn’t join the band on tour. As soon as their school years were done in June, they went on the road in a VW van with their gear and travelled throughout Europe. ‘be Quiet’ was chosen as a single, but it didn’t get a lot of airplay. This didn’t withhold the guys to travel around and ask in bars if they could play for some dinner. They drove to Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen, then descended to visit Prague, Austria, Italy, Spain & France. As the single nor the album was really distributed to radios, the only change they had of playing was to simply ask people in those cities where to play. This turned out to be the bars rather than venues and, as Papa Beer recalls, they got very experienced playing to semi-interested audiences. The album was reprinted in 1971, when the band had become world famous and again on cd in 1993. Even though initially the album didn’t do anything on the market, more than three million copies have been sold over the years and critics have praised songwriting skills of ‘be Quiet’ and ’mother’ taken into consideration that Papa Beer and Bobby were only 15 and 16 years old when they wrote the songs.

The transition of a family owned or closely-held business involves a variety of legal and tax issues. This goals of this process, however, should be focused on issues that are just as important – if not more important – than the legal and tax issues. Specifically, while most business owners appreciate avoiding taxes and creditor protection strategies, business owners should be focused on preserving family harmony, furthering family values, and ensuring that future generations have the tools at their disposal that are needed to be successful. This White Paper will not focus on the legal and tax issues that permeate – and sometimes wrongfully dominate – a succession plan. Rather, this White Paper will address the important timing, family, and value based issues that must be addressed in order for a succession plan to be successful. An often repeated mantra in succession planning is that a business owner “cannot start too early”. While this is true, starting the process must be done with clear goals and objectives. These goals and objectives often include identifying managers who can succeed to the owner (family and non-family), setting rules for the involvement of family members in the business, and establishing values. The transition of ownership and management in a business are not necessarily the same thing. Estate plans are structured to transfer ownership tax-efficiently between generations of a family. The identity of the managers of the business will change over time, and these managers may or may not be family members. The current owner or group of owners must identify the best managers to take over executive level responsibilities and not focus on the family member who will be the best manager. Many situations exist where members of the next generation who are employed in the family business are not best suited to manage the business. It is critical that the best manager – and not the best manager who happens to be a family member – be elevated. Family members may be suited for specific responsibilities, such as finance, sales, or operations, but may not be suited for senior executive positions. Family discussions about succession planning are difficult. Various issues must be discussed – finances, mortality, children in the business, children not in the business, who will take over in management – and discussing these issues is not easy. Nonetheless, a succession plan has little chance of working if there is a lack of substantive discussion of these important issues. The values, goals, and objectives of a succession plan are often set forth in a “family constitution”. A family constitution generally is not legally binding (unlike, for example, a buy-sell agreement or a trust agreement). Rather, its purpose is to consolidate values, goals, and objectives into one document to help guide the family. In addition, the construction of the family constitution often is a powerful tool to use to teach family members the owner’s values and objectives and to ensure that intra-family communication occurs in a productive and thoughtful manner. Many estate planning techniques involved in succession planning involve the owner divesting himself or herself of assets, such as limited partnership interests or non-voting stock. An important (but often overlooked) part of any succession plan is ensuring that the owner who is transitioning ownership will be able to maintain his or her standard of living. The transitioning owner needs to properly compensate other owners and executives, particularly when those individuals are assuming more responsibility. You cannot attract and retain talented individuals without compensating them fairly. However, few business owners are willing to transition ownership if there is an unreasonable risk of financial insecurity as a result. Therefore, it is important that the transitioning owner, in consultation with his or her financial advisors and accountant, maps out income needs and has a financial plan in place. For example, rent paid by the business to the owner can be an important piece to this puzzle. Consideration should also be given to fringe benefits, particularly health insurance. Transferring ownership, if done properly, does not have to equate with a loss of income. The “success” of a succession plan will be defined by the goals and objectives established at the outset of planning. As explained above, establishing goals and objectives in a timely manner is the foundation of any successful plan, and whether the goals and objectives are met should determine whether the plan was a success. No two family business are alike. Each family and each family business will have its owns set of challenges, goals, and values and therefore each succession plan will take on a life of its own. Nevertheless, a family business succession plan has a better chance of succeeding if the plan is implemented in a timely manner with clear and realistic goals and objectives. Vance E. Antonacci is a member of the law firm of McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC and chair of the firm’s Estate Planning practice group. He practices out of the firm’s offices in Lancaster and Harrisburg.

When the first PISA results were released in 2001, there was a reaction in Germany that is now referred to as ‘PISA-shock’. It was likened to a tsunami-like impact where the perceived poor performance of German children compared with those in other countries participating in the international rankings dominated the news in Germany for weeks. Germans had believed they had one of the best schooling systems in the world and this first round of PISA results seriously challenged their perception. The shock led to major changes in education policy that Germany is still dealing with today. Part of Germany’s PISA-shock was also precipitated by the fact that Finland was the outstanding performer in all the PISA tests in 2000. Historically, Finland had looked to other nations, including Germany, to learn about how schooling might be improved. The term PISA-shock is now used widely within education circles. We would define PISA-shock as the impact of PISA results when those results are disjunctive with a nation’s self-perception of the quality of the schooling system. We believe Australia also experienced PISA-shock in 2009 and this was subsequently compounded in 2012. Education policy changed here too as a result of PISA-shock. As with Germany, Australia is still dealing with the fallout of those changes. In this blog post we want to look at what happened with that PISA-shock. Specifically we want to look how it played politically and educationally in Australia, the role the Australian media played and most importantly what Australia should be doing about its PISA-shock. The OECD’s PISA was first administered in 2000 and then every three years. PISA tests a sample of 15 year-olds in all participating nations on measures of reading, mathematical and scientific literacies. The number of nations participating has increased substantially since 2000 with 71 nations participating in 2015, including the 35 OECD member countries. The PISA results are reported in December of the year after the test is administered. The test reports results on two dimensions, namely quality and equity. Quality refers to a nation’s performance on each of the tests, which usually have a mean score of 500, and documents the comparative performance against all other participating nations. Equity refers to the strength of the correlation between students’ socio-economic backgrounds and performance. Interestingly and importantly in policy terms, PISA results have shown that high performing nations tend to have more equitable schooling systems. This PISA shock had real policy impact in Germany, leading to a large number of reform measures, both at national and Länder (states) levels, aimed at improving Germany’s subsequent PISA performance. We note here that Germany, like Australia, has a federal political structure and that some of the states did well on PISA 2000, but others did poorly. However, the aggregated German results demonstrated overall poor comparative performance. We believe the German PISA shock in 2001 and its significant policy impact were important factors in insuring the legitimacy and significance of the PISA testing regime. From the time of the first PISA, more nations have participated giving even greater significance to PISA in national policy reforms. As more nations have participated and as PISA has continued to provoke PISA-shocks, there has been enhanced media coverage in national and metropolitan newspapers of a nation’s comparative performance. In 2009, several cities and provinces in China participated in PISA for the first time. Yet the Chinese government intervened and only allowed the public publication of Shanghai’s results. We stress here that Shanghai is not representative of China and that indeed access to the results of all participating systems suggest that at an aggregated level, China did much worse than Australia in 2009. However, it was Shanghai’s stellar performance on all the test measures that precipitated a PISA-shock in Australia. There is a specific context to Australia’s PISA-shock. Since the time of the Hawke/Keating governments, Australia has been seeking to reorient its economic policies towards Asia. There has been much talk as well of the 21st century being the Asian Century with the socio-political and economic rise of China. Australia’s response to Shanghai’s results must be seen in this context. The federal Labor government had commissioned the Henry Review on Asia and Australia’s economic future. There was a great deal of media coverage in 2010 in Australia of Australia’s poor and declining comparative performance on PISA 2009. We had our own ‘tsunami-like impact’ of media coverage. All major news services covered our ‘declining’ rankings and broadcasters and media commentators offered much advice as to why Australian schooling was ‘failing’. Also contributing to this PISA shock was the fact that four of the top performing nations in PISA 2009 were located in East Asia (Shanghai, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore). Contributing further to Australia’s PISA shock was the extensive media coverage given in January 2012 to a report produced by an independent think tank, the Grattan Institute, Catching Up: Learning from the best school systems in East Asia. The Prime Minister at the time, Julia Gillard, along with Australian and East Asian education system leaders, Andreas Schliecher from the OECD, and a number of academics had all attended a seminar convened by the Grattan Institute in late 2011 focusing on the nature of East Asian schooling systems that had performed so well in PISA 2009. The media coverage of the Grattan report and of this meeting caused another spike in media coverage. This occurred in January 2012 and it could be described as a media ‘frenzy’ about Australia’s PISA performance. We note that ‘research reports’ produced by think tanks like the Grattan Institute are written with a media audience in mind. They are purposefully produced to impact on politicians and policy makers, and the broader public through media. They utilise the genre of a high-quality media story rather than an academic research report. Think Tank usage of publicly available PISA data has real media effects. Four of the top five performing school systems in the world are in our region and they are getting better and better … On average, kids at 15 in those nations are six months ahead of Australian kids at 15 and they are a year in front of the OECD mean … If we are talking about today’s children – tomorrow’s workers – I want them to be workers in a high-skill, high-wage economy where we are still leading the world. I don’t want them to be workers in an economy where we are kind of the runt of the litter in our region. When framing counts and comparisons, the press frequently utlilised mean scores to rank participating countries as a mode of evidence regarding performance. In reading, Australia went from a mean score of 528 in 2000 to 512 in 2012, a drop of sixteen points, with a drop of seven points in science literacy, from 528 in 2000 to 521 in 2012. The worst change was in mathematics literacy where the country fell 29 points from a mean score of 533 in 2000 to 504 in 2012. This enabled dramatisation-style media coverage (with visuals such as graphs) as a downward trend and provided greater opportunity for sensationalism. For example, using mean scores and country ranks, Australia’s performance in mathematics shows a downward trend, with a significant decline starting in 2003, and subsequently out of the top 10 by 2006. We would suggest that discussions about a country’s performance, based solely on mean scores and averages, are flawed. Focusing on Australia’s mean scores hides the substantial disparities between the performance of the States and Territories. The ACT, for example, always does well, while Tasmania and the Northern Territory always do poorly. All of the subsequent league tables and visual representations that continue relentlessly from the media in Australia are therefore flawed. There is limited coverage of the equity measure, which shows a strengthening correlation between socio-economic background and performance and a substantial Socio Economic Status (SES) impact on performance. Furthermore, the number of 15 year old Australians from the bottom quartile of socio-economic background who perform in the top categories on each of the tests has declined sharply since the first test was administered in 2000. An upshot of this Australian PISA shock was the Gillard government legislating amendments to the Education Act that Australia would be back in the top 5 in PISA by 2025. We see this as classic ‘goal displacement’. We believe what is required is better quality and more equitable outcomes for all young Australians. That needs to be the target; it needs to be the goal of policy. Improved performance on PISA would flow from policy interventions aimed at achieving that goal. What we need is redistributive and targeted funding, along with research-informed interventions for classroom and school change. However we point out that there would be very different results if we go back to the original set of countries that participated in PISA in 2000 and compare Australia’s results to this particular set of countries. Only 43 nations participated in the 2000 PISA, however the number of participating countries has grown substantially since that time with 65 nations participating in 2012, with a further 40% increase in participation rates in 2015 to 71 participating countries. Many of the additional countries are East Asian with Confucian traditions. Four countries in the top five ranks in 2009 were Australia’s East Asian neighbours. These increases in the number of participating countries are rarely acknowledged in the press when discussing Australia’s position in global rankings. But this is a fundamental piece of information. Simple mathematics would suggest that ranks are more likely to change and decrease when the number of participants changes, irrespective of changes in performance. Furthermore, it is probably only statistically reliable to compare longitudinal changes in performance across the years when one of the test domains was the major focus (e.g. science in 2006 and 2015). This is neglected in media coverage. We conducted a subsequent analysis of Australia’s PISA rank using only participating countries that were represented in all five test years (2000-2012). Only 32 countries participated in PISA each year with data being available across the three literacies. Our analysis illustrates the arbitrary nature of using mean scores to rank countries and not taking into account the increases in numbers of countries participating over the years. For example, in each of the literacies, Australia is ranked higher in 2009 and 2012 when analysed against the 32 countries, than when compared with the participating countries of a particular year, making the changes in position less dramatic. For example, in mathematics, Australia is placed 12th rather than 19th; in reading, 9th rather than 13th; and in science, 10th rather than 16th. Our comparisons like those of the newspapers were conducted longitudinally across independent data-sets (year of test). However, the difference was that the number of participating countries was consistent, thereby eliminating this variance and producing a very different result in the rankings. Except for Finland, all other countries in the top five on the 2009 and 2012 PISA are Asian. Each of these nations is significantly different from Australia in sociocultural and socio-political terms, but they are still identified as reference societies for Australian educational reforms. Subsequently, a nation’s referential position is no longer conditioned and legitimated by similarities with a society and a schooling system (for example in the past, the UK), but on the basis of their placement in the global rankings on PISA. Media constructions also emphasise policy, rather than structural inequality explanations of national performance. While the Australian press did not stop referencing Finland, coverage also included Asian nations, especially Shanghai in 2009. The Australian reported, ‘Shanghai, which joined the international testing movement in 2009 and ousted Finland from the top spot it had occupied for almost 10 years’ with the Sydney Morning Herald adding, ‘Australian policy makers could learn much from China’. The Grattan Institute Report (mentioned above) sought to draw on the high performing East Asian nations to make policy suggestions for Australia. Despite major cultural, demographic and political differences between Finland and Australia, and Shanghai and Australia, and Shanghai being erroneously seen as all of China, this did not prevent media constructions of Shanghai as a suitable reference system for Australian schooling. The media speak of Australia’s performance more than they speak of say New South Wales’ performance or Western Australia’s performance on PISA. This approach hides quite large disparities in performance across the various state schooling systems in Australia. Yet Australia oversamples on PISA (we have more children sit the tests than required) so that the results can be disaggregated to school system levels (other countries, such as the US, do not do this). The media rarely acknowledge these disparities in their PISA reporting. On the analyses for 2012 PISA, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory did very well, while the Northern Territory and Tasmania performed comparatively poorly. This went largely unreported and what we saw instead was the media’s fixation on national average scores and international comparisons within league tables. As suggested above, PISA provides important data for policy makers on the quality and equity of schooling systems. As we have already noted, the media fail to report the increasing inequities in Australian schooling. There is a deafening media silence about this situation; indeed, almost no media coverage of equity in respect of PISA. The PISA test is administered every three years (beginning in 2000). The results for each PISA are released in December of the year following. In the subsequent year after the publication of the results, the OECD releases very detailed secondary analyses of the PISA data, with these reports usually running to about 1200 pages. While there is always huge media frenzy over the initial release of results of international rankings there is seldom any media coverage of the subsequent detailed reports. In our view, it is these analyses that should inform policy makers and indeed the Australian people. The PISA-shock type media coverage has huge policy effects. Governments make decisions that have lasting fallout on our education systems as a result of this coverage. However the deep inequities of performance based on socio-economic background that show up in detailed PISA results and the differences between the jurisdictional schooling systems is where the media should be shining the spotlight. This is where the real story of what is happening in school education in Australia can be uncovered. This is where policy makers should be searching for policy changing data. There is a pressing policy need for the inequities uncovered by PISA testing to be addressed by federal and state governments, in both funding and policy ways. We think these inequities are symbiotic with broader structural inequalities and historical legacies, which also need to be addressed by a range of new social policies. As with all tests, PISA should be used for the purposes for which it was constructed, that is, to help policy makers to make informed decisions about schooling to ensure we have a high quality and equitable schooling systems.

Hi, I'm Gus Higuera a software engineer and designer in Austin, TX. I've also had the privelege of working with some amazing design teams as a user experience designer and creative director, bringing my engineering experience to the table to help bridge the gap between technology and design. These days you can't work on the web without touching mobile. I've designed and built fully responsive websites, interactive mobile experiences and iOS/Android applications. See some examples in my portfolio. I've been lucky to say the least to have worked with some great people over the years and gained recognition for my work like the Webby Award Winning site for The Simpsons Movie and Ady for the Green Car Hawaii application.

Philadelphia-headquartered Allevi has launched a new 3D bioprinter – the Allevi 3. Complete with three extruders, the new system allows users to combine multiple biomaterials to build the foundations of complex tissues and devices. Allevi, previously known as BioBots, was founded in 2014 with a mission to “make it easy to design and engineer 3D tissues.” As such, the company works on all parts of the “3D printing trifecta,” developing software, materials and hardware suited to the production of biological matter. With the release of the Allevi 3, the company now has four 3D bioprinters in its portfolio, each numbered according to its extruder count: the Allevi 6, the Allevi 2 and the Allevi 1, which was released in February 2018. Working closely with its customers, Allevi 3D bioprinters have been cited in numerous studies, including lab-on-a-chip activity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and bioink bench marking at Stanford University. Most recently, the company announced a partnership with Made In Space that aims to develop a 3D bioprinter that can work in low-gravity conditions. Each of Allevi’s 3D bioprinters are designed for ease-of-use with pre-made protocols for all bioinks offered by the company. Importantly, the Allevi 3 also comes with auto calibration, and both the extruders and print bed can be switched out in lieu of future updates. With a consideration for the experimental aspect of 3D bioprinting, the Allevi 3 is an open system giving the user complete control over every parameter, optional use of a self-made bioink, and the ability to operate from either PC and MAC OS. The 3D bioprinter has a build volume of 90 x 130 x 60 mm (W x L x H), and occupies a footprint of 406.4 x 355.6 x 355.6 mm. Across all axis, the Allevi 3 is capable of a single micron precision. Quotes for the Allevi 3 are available on request from the company, and subject to optional material packages such as the Starter Bioink Kit or Organ-on-a-chip Kit.

Do We Need Major Technological Breakthroughs? Via the IPCC, Joseph Romm lists the technologies we need to deploy--now, and within the next couple decades--if we want to stabilize atmospheric carbon concentrations at 450 ppm by 2050. He concludes by asking: "So, is the IPCC right? Can we stabilize below 450 ppm with these technologies (and the ones in the full report)? Are there 14-plus wedges here? I think so. Stay tuned." I will, of course, stay tuned, and when he posts his follow up, I'll bring it to you. The take away, though, is that we haven't yet reached the point at which we'll have to rely upon a carbon-swallowing pony to stabilize carbon concentrations at 450 ppm by mid-century. Which is good news indeed, but also a reminder that the longer we go without implementing the technologies already available to us, the more likely it becomes that the technologies we expect to be available in 2030 simply won't cut it. And then we'll need a pony.

The project: Wardlaw Family Gravestone Restoration at Upper Long Cane Cemetery – Abbeville, South Carolina. Brad Evans, owner of the Harris Funeral Home in Abbeville, has offered to clean the forty-three Wardlaw stones in the cemetery. Mr. Evans has done this for other families and the results have been remarkable. The stones have been professionally cleaned, whitened and made very readable. When you are in Abbeville, be sure and visit the cemetery where so many of our ancestors are buried. One of the first photos to come in, this is the fenced Wardlaw plot, the cleaned stones are beautiful! The rest of the stones have also now been cleaned! The cost: The price quoted for such a restoration is normally $2,500. Mr. Evans is graciously offering us a 20% discount and asks $2,000 for the work. To date, your CWA collected the amount and paid for the cleaning. This project honors the entire Wardlaw Family. As descendents of Robert, the first to America, we all have relatives, close or distant, in this most famous of Abbeville cemeteries! The Quay-Wardlaw House in Abbeville.

No, not Jordan Peele's horror amazing horror movie. Sorry if that's what you thought this was about, I can see how it could be a bit misleading. However, that movie came out over a year ago, and while I know I can be a bit behind the times, I'm not THAT bad. No, I'm talking about Lazy Baby's developing linguistic capabilities. She's got a handle on "da da" and Mr. LL swears that she cries "mommy/mama" when I'm not around (though I cannot get her to call me mama to my face, sigh). She's working on "ball" these days. However, there are two PHRASES that she has down and uses with meaning and in the right context. The first is "what's that?" which we've been saying to her for her whole life, so I can see why she'd pick up on it. It is super adorable when she says it, too. She'll point to something and in a soft, breathy whisper she asks "wassat?" The other phrase that Lazy Baby has down is "get out." Smh. I didn't realize just HOW MUCH we say it in our house and never really to any of the humans living there, but almost always to the pets. Especially to our cat Cake, who likes to jump into LL's gated off play space. At first, we let this happen because Cake is super sweet and chill, the perfect pet to let LL practice interacting with the pets. But then Cake got a really bad flea problem so we would kick her out so wouldn't pick fleas off the baby. :| Then there's Bigby, our dog, who is always getting into something; the garbage, the litter boxes, anything edible that's left out. So we say "get out" or "get off" to him a lot, too. (Mei-mei, our fat fur baby is an absolute angel who never gets fussed at...except when she tries to steal food from your mouth). So, the past two weeks, LL has been saying "GEH-OW GEH-OW" and I suspected she was saying "get out" at first, but wasn't sure. Then my suspicions were confirmed when I was in her play room with her and Cake jumped over the gate. She toddled over to Cake and pushed her (gently) and said "GEH-OW GEH OW." Oh man. It slightly bothers me that we apparently say "get out" more in her presence than she hears "I love you." I've started to say "I love you" every time she gives me a hug, which these days is every five minutes. I'm hoping she'll pick up on that soon. To my other parents out there, were there any funny/odd/unique first words with your children? Let me know in the comments.

Snap’s shares jumped 12 percent Thursday, reaching a six-month high after a high-profile upgrade from a Wall Street analyst. BTIG’s well-known Snap bear Rich Greenfield changed his recommendation from “neutral” to “buy” and upgraded his price target from $5 to a Street-leading $15 — representing what would be a 50 percent increase from the stock’s Wednesday price of just over $10. “Virtually everything that could go wrong for Snapchat over the past couple years since going public has gone wrong,” Greenfield wrote, referring to the disastrous redesign that was panned by famous users like Kylie Jenner. Still, Greenfield said advertisers see the platform as a worthy place to spend their money and believes the social network is in a good position for success. “Performance advertisers are laser focused on return on investment and spend where they see a compelling return,” he wrote. Snap shares climbed $1.23, to $11.28.

Home »​ Featured Articles »​ Why Should I Buy A Humidifier? Why should I buy a humidifier? Humidifiers are the best way to prevent gaps and squeaks caused by dry air. In most areas of the U.S., it is just not possible to keep indoor relative humidity levels where they need to be for wood flooring without a whole home humidifier. If you’re seeing gaps and hearing squeaks in the colder months, it is probably because the RH levels in your home are not where they should be – it’s too dry! With the temperatures dropping the correlating relative humidity in the atmosphere also drops. This means that there’s less moisture and the air is dry. You will likely have noticed this when going outside during the cold weather with your lips and mucous membrane drying out. Additionally, the colder the winter weather gets, the more families turn up the heat. This only accelerates the drying process. Indoor conditions often are drier than the Sahara desert. So why should I buy a humidifier? When the RH outside drops to an average % below 35%, this should trigger an autonomous response to turn on the humidifier(s). Otherwise you might see substantial gaps, shrinkage, cracks and cupping. We recommend buying a whole home humidifier and then using free standing units as needed. Many wood floor owners don’t realize the importance of having a humidifier. And others that do have in-home humidification have not been properly educated on how and when to operate these. The National Wood Flooring Association also recommends having a whole-home humidifier in the winter to prevent gaps. An example of this can be found in one home inspection I recently did in Oklahoma City. When I asked if the home had humidification, the homeowners assured me it did. When we checked the setting on the unit, it was set to only 35% when the dial had a range up to 65%. Since the RH in the home was recorded with a hygrometer at under 30% there was no way in the world that the humidifier would ever put enough moisture back into the home to raise the RH to within normal range of between 35%-65%. Use a hygrometer to measure your home RH levels. Always be between 35-55% (and remember to keep the thermostat at 60-80 degrees). In addition to a humidifier, a hygrometer is recommended as a second way to measure the moisture. This way you can ensure that your humidifier is actually keeping your RH levels where you want them; sometimes humidifiers can be unreliable. Hygrometers come in all shapes and sizes and aren’t expensive. You can buy one and keep it in one of your living areas to keep an eye on your RH levels. They are readily available from stores like Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowe’s. The best brands are those from manufacturers of electronic sensors like Delmhorst, Wagner Meters, Lignomat, and Acurite. These devices are not very expensive, and will protect your investment in wood flooring while making your home more comfortable to live in. Aprilaire has become one of the best brands for whole home humidification. We have one installed in our offices in Oklahoma City, and it works great. Check out their website here to learn more about the different types of humidifiers they sell. Humidifiers are also a great way to get rid of allergens and clean the air. Additionally, you may want to supplement this process for when the heat is not on with a free standing unit. Several brands we have used were purchased from the big box stores. Brands like Idylis and Honeywell work well for areas where the floor shows additional gapping or dry cupping. Download our free guide about how to keep your floor from gaps and shrinkage during the wintertime. When buying a humidifier, there are several types of humidifiers all requiring different kinds of maintenance ranging from paper filters, nylon or plastic mesh filter, to electrolysis (filterless). Each of these require different methods to keep them running, so you’ll need to contact the manufacturer for cleaning and maintenance guidelines. We have a unit that requires 4 paper filters that we change periodically after running through 150-200 gallons of water. This will vary with your environment and the amount of dust and dirt the filters are picking up. A rule of thumb: when the filters become discolored and hard with mineral deposit, they need to be changed out. Interested in a humidifier?

Hello…and welcome to the Friday Wrap for September 14th, 2018! Here’s the wrap-up of Burr Ridge news, events and progress which I really do prefer to get these done by end-of-day on Friday. But, that is not always possible, so I am writing this on Saturday in Starbucks.

2018 is the comeback year for BoA. Within a few short days in mid-February she released her first Korean mini-album and this, her ninth Japanese album release. Along with the singles she brings in brand new songs for her Japanese fan base only importing one track from her most recent Korean works. BoA is unlike other Korean Pop acts in Japan in that regard. She has drawn a line between the two musical universes she exists in and caters her music to who she marketing to rather than making carbon copies of her Korean songs in Japanese. There was a four-year gap between her last Japanese release WHO’S BACK? and now. The music on Watashi Kono Mama de Ii no Kana has a variety of songs that stick very close to the template for BoA’s typical Japanese releases. These include urban crossover tracks such as Where am I now, Sayonara Arigatou and the import from her recent Korean discography Kiss My Lips. There are also the up-tempo cuts such as Crow, Manhattan Tango and Mannish Chocolat. There are elements in each song that make them slightly atypical of the standard BoA dance cut but not enough to really break the status quo for these types of songs. The rest of the album is comprised of slower songs and ballads. The highlights being the title track Watashi no Kono Mama de Ii no Kana and Make Me Complete. Overall there are very few surprises when it comes to Watashi Kono Mama de Ii no Kana. It may not be as bold as her Korean mini-album that came after this release but it is worth checking out if you enjoy her brand of Japanese pop.

Summer is quickly approaching and for some teachers it's already here. While many will be spending some well-deserved time at the beach, summer also provides us with a chance to reflect on the year past and prepare for the year to come. Compare your curriculum to the standards, especially if you’re transitioning to Common Core, or have standards that have been newly updated, and check for any weak areas. Get together with a colleague to have them critique some of the lessons you struggled with last year (Painful, yes, but it will be worth it!). Look for areas of the curriculum that can overlap and plan a new interdisciplinary unit. Bring in other teachers in the school where possible. Visit OER Commons and browse their open-source materials to replace your old or out-dated materials. Transfer your unit and lesson plans to LiveBinders, Planbook, or another online organizational tool that will alleviate the amount of papers you have and help you to track digital resources better. Research new trends like flipped classrooms, digital badges, and personalized learning and look for ways to integrate elements into your classroom. Become better at integrating the technology you have by looking on the web for how other teachers are using the same technology. We hope that some of these ideas will inspire you and your students. Have fun and enjoy your summer!
