On the last day of my visit to St Andrews last month I’d done a sunrise shoot with glorious light, had breakfast and packed ready for the journey home, but my train wasn’t until later in the afternoon, so I had the time for a wander around the town with my OM-D for a few hours (and a nice lunch at the fish restaurant). I started on South Street with a look at the Town Kirk and the lovely bookshop nearby, which always seems to induce photographs at funny angles against blue sky! Over the road I had a proper look in St Mary’s College Quad for the first time. The architecture is lovely with the North, East and West ranges intact and a fragment of the entrance gate in the original south boundary surviving in the middle of the lawn. I strolled along South Street, past the remains Blackfriars Chapel at Madras College and through the West Port and headed over to Kinburn House, the home of the St Andrews Museum, which is well worth a visit with a small but interesting collection inside and interesting architecture outside. From the museum I headed back to Hope Park and Martyrs Church with its impressive round windows and along Market Street in search of my lunch at the Tailend Restaurant, where the traditional Scottish haddock was lovely! After lunch I headed along College Street for a look at the impressive tower of the University Chapel at St Salvator’s College before continuing down North Street to the ruins of the cathedral. After a quick look in the grounds I wandered through The Pends gate and down the hill toward the harbour. Along the way an access gate in the high wall was open, giving a great view of St Rules Tower from the road. After a visit to the harbour I climbed the path up to the end of The Scores for a final look at the lovely castle perched on the coast before a short walk back along The Scores to collect my luggage for the train journey home.

Cook up a storm with fall bounty By Betty Dickinson Here’s some recipes to use some of the fall garden produce. This is a nutritious dip that might appeal to the party or family get-to-gather. This makes an ideal snack, or even a meal, as it’s packed with protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals. The beet is more for color than flavor, so don’t expect a strong beet favor. Good with carrots and other vegetables or chips. The dip can be refrigerated for one week. Pink Bean Dip 1.Combine 15 ounces cooked or drained canned white beans, 1 or more cloves chopped garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, one tablespoon fresh lemon juice or more, and a small roasted or stemmed beet in food processor; puree until smooth and no bits of beet remain. - Season lightly with salt and pepper. - Taste and add more lemon juice as needed. 4 Transfer to an airtight container; refrigerate until ready to serve. These can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated. Remove them from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking. 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 4 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise 1 pound spicy Italian bulk sausage (or your choice of sausage) 1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 3 or more cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup course fresh breadcrumbs 2 teaspoons lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice About 3/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus shavings for the garnish 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1 large egg, lightly beaten - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle a large baking dish with oil. Scrape seeds and soft flesh from inside zucchini and reserve ½ cup. Place zucchini, cut sides up, in baking dish. - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add sausage and onion. Cook, breaking up sausage, until sausage is brown and onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and reserved zucchini; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Divide mixture among zucchini. Bake until filling is firm and each zucchini is tender and wrinkled around edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with Here is a nutty way to take off extra pounds. Studies show adding nuts to your diet won’t make you gain weight, and may even lose some pounds. Experts think that’s because of the unsaturated fats in nuts like almonds, walnuts, peanuts, and pine nuts. These trigger your body to make appetite-blocking hormones, which tell your brain you’re full. So enjoy a handful of nuts about 20 minutes before a meal, and it can cut your appetite!

After enjoying the Urban Barn, we headed over to Old Town Escondido for lunch and more antiquing. Isn't this a lovely little lady? You see all kinds of things. This little guy reminded me of my Mom's kitchen in the 70's. Didn't you know that owls are cool again? We had lunch at the little French bistro, A Delight of France. It's no wonder it's a busy place, they have great food and awesome pastries. I should've taken pictures of the incredible eclair that we SHARED! Evidently Friday is Cruise night in Escondido. The cars, they were a changing.

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message) Klismaphilia (or klysmaphilia), from the Greek words κλύσμα ("enema", from κατακλυσμός, "deluge, flood") and φιλία ("(fraternal) love"), is a paraphilia involving enjoyment of, and sexual arousal from, enemas. The term klismaphilia was coined in 1973 by Dr. Joanne Denko, an early investigator in this field, to describe the activities of some of her patients. A person with klismaphilia is a klismaphile or klismaphiliac. Klismaphiles can gain satisfaction of enemas through fantasies, by actually receiving or giving one, or through the process of eliminating steps to being administered one (e.g., under the pretense of being constipated). Klismaphilia is practiced by men and women, although men are more likely to be klismaphiles, as with most paraphilias. Klismaphiles might gain pleasure from a large, water distended belly or the feeling of internal pressure. Often, klismaphiles report discovering these desires after a chance administration of an enema sometime in their childhood, but some do report discovering these feelings later on. Klismaphilia is practiced both heterosexually and homosexually. The paraphilia may be used as a substitute or as an auxiliary by its practitioners for genital sexual activity. Usually, klismaphiles carry out normal lives and successfully engage in this behavior secretly. If this is the case they will probably try to conceal the pleasure they receive from these administrations. For administering enemas not intended for medical purposes there are specialty items, such as the aluminium nozzle shown to the right, that are commonly used in activities involving klismaphilia. Such items are available on the Internet and in sex shops in a great variety of sizes, styles, and materials. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) classifies klismaphilia under the diagnosis of "Paraphilias, Not Otherwise Specified". The diagnostic code is 302.9. Proactive treatment for klismaphilics is not generally recommended, due to the lack of any significant desire to be "cured". Health treatment for klismaphilia thus is typically only focused on ensuring the techniques employed and chemicals used are not harmful to the practitioner. Caution should always be maintained on the part of the practitioners experimenting with new techniques and concoctions; in certain cases cramps produced by the chemicals used have led to hospitalizations, in other circumstances the effects can even be life-threatening. - Paraphilias from Psychology Today - Denko, JD.

Massachusetts Senate race: What will the outcome cost you?(Read article summary) The Senate race in Massachusetts could cost you $2,100 or save you $5,000 in insurance premiums, depending on who you are and whether healthcare reform passes. Every once in a while, an election comes along that hits you in the pocketbook. Direct impact. Cost or benefit. You can almost hear the "ka-ching" with each tick of the ballot counter. The US Senate race in Massachusetts between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown is one of those elections. A win by Ms. Coakley would probably allow national healthcare reform to pass. A win by Mr. Brown would probably kill it (although congressional Democrats are looking for ways to keep it alive). Healthcare reform will directly affect how much Americans spend on health insurance in years to come. So how much will this race cost you? Up to $2,100 a year. Or it might save a family about $5,000 a year, depending on who you are. If you're among the majority of Americans insured through your company, then it doesn't much matter who wins the Senate seat in Massachusetts. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which has examined the effect of premiums under the Senate healthcare plan (.pdf), estimates that in 2016 a family plan would cost your company $20,100 a year if healthcare reform goes through and $20,300 a year if it doesn't. That's $200 a year in savings if Coakley wins, but given the rough nature of these estimates, the CBO calls that negligible. Those are estimates for large companies. The figures for companies with 50 employees or less are nearly identical: $19,200 with reform; $19,300 without it. Another wash. For those who have to buy insurance on their own, it gets more interesting. In 2016, a family policy would cost $15,200 with reform and only $13,100 without it, according to the CBO. So a win by Brown, the Republican in Massachusetts, could save them $2,100. But only some of them. About 57 percent of people, mostly lower-income families, would get government subsidies that would cover about two-thirds of their premiums, roughly a $5,000 savings. So a Coakley win would benefit them. Even those who didn't get the subsidy would not see rates jump quite so much as $2,100, according to the CBO. But the increase – somewhat less than 10 to 13 percent – would still be sizable. Not everyone agrees with the CBO's analysis. "Premiums will go up," warns Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, an insurance industry group. "The legislation is not bending the cost curve." Of course, healthcare reform means not only changes in costs but also an expansion in coverage, especially for people who can't get insurance through an employer. Reform would prohibit an insurer from denying coverage to people and reduce their out-of-pocket costs. If you like that idea, then cheer on Coakley. But reform would also force other people to buy insurance, even if they don't want it or don't want as much insurance as the government would mandate. If you don't like government forcing you to do something, then a win by Brown should make you smile.

They’re afraid. As consistently innovative as they are—even to the massive detriment of their biggest ongoing franchise—Ubisoft seems deathly afraid of making the big changes. The times when they should be swinging for the fences finds them tenderly dipping a toe into the water, reassessing, and then going with another toe. Why hasn’t Assassin’s Creed, for instance, made it to the modern era? Sure, Desmond’s tale took place present day, but the bulk of the series has relied on the kindness of history’s lack of audio video surveillance. Even with Assassin’s Creed III, the game with the most Desmond bits, had him quarantined off in extremely linear, almost fearful gameplay sections. But those parts were interesting. You were in environments that designers could wholly conjure up from their minds. You were fighting against enemies that you’ve never seen before in any past Assassin’s Creed game instead of the usual palette-swapped grunts, brutes, and elites. More than that, you were facing them in situations you’ve never faced before. Since the very first game in the series, it seems like we were teased with the intrigue of a fully modern Assassin. They tested the waters with some fun stealth and subtle yet elaborate story shenanigans and quickly moved onto giving Desmond his full Assassin abilities, allowing him to freerun and fighting and whatnot. And he constantly evolved, leading any reasonable person to believe it would soon be happening. After the culmination of the Desmond storyline, however, hopes were dashed. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag tried something new outside of the Animus sans Desmond, but it was still the story of a seafaring scallywag. Assassin’s Creed Unity didn’t even have anything outside of Arno’s story. It wasn’t the assumption that followed Assassin’s Creed; it wasn’t the hope after Assassin’s Creed III; it was just disappointment. It feels like fear. So much of what they’ve built relies on the lack of modern implements. And as they introduce more of them like Assassin’s Creed Syndicate‘s grappling hook and carriages in an Industrial Revolution-era England, you realize how much they could be rid of by go further into the future. That’s not necessarily a good thing or a cure for the series’ ails. It’s a remark upon how much they’re afraid they’ll lose if they go full-bore on that concept, if they extrapolate out Desmond’s time out into a full game. Will they lose the core mechanics that many identify with the franchise? Will they lose the uniqueness as they skew too close to games like Watch Dogs or Splinter Cell, cannibalizing other Ubisoft lines? They are entirely valid questions. When was the last time you saw a series reinvent themselves to such a degree? It’s just not how the industry works. You take a concept, give it a go, and if people latch on, you iterate to fix the flaws and juice up the working parts to see if they still like it. But eventually you have to call it quits. If you look at Gears of War, Epic Games fulfilled the Marcus/Dom saga, gave it another go with Gears of War: Judgment, and called it when that failed to find traction and giving it up to Microsoft and Black Tusk Studios for something new. Visceral Games actually dipped out after a rock solid three Dead Space games. Ubisoft, however, feels content with taking a more Call of Duty or Guitar Hero—really Activision—approach: run it into the ground. For as long as people are buying, just have studio after studio go at it until they stop buying. It’s a solid strategy that responds to the essence of capitalism. After all, if consumers don’t want it, they show it with their money, or lack thereof. That is perhaps the great virtue of indie game development. It’s not that they can’t employ the same strategy but rather that they choose not to. It’s a conscious decision and seems to be one based largely on guilt and internal obligation. It’s not that there aren’t indie series because there totally are like Amnesia and Hotline Miami, but it’s rarely a triple-A farming situation. For all the problems of the insular, nigh incestuous component of video games that is the indie (those two descriptors, though, apply to the entire industry as well from development to press to players), it has imbued those independent devs to feel obligated to not be That Guy. Instead we have multimillion dollar That Guys all trying really hard to be the Thattest That Guy in the biz, almost as if it were a point of pride. How many Hindenburgs have you piloted straight into the ground? Only four? Amateur hour. Picking on Assassin’s Creed isn’t fair when there are a half dozen more just like it. But it did just make a recent and sizable announcement that was hilariously lukewarm in its reception. Even the most diehard of apologists could only tend to the crowd and say you could look away if you wanted while they sorted out their feelings. The well eventually dries up. Seems like Ubisoft finally found the bottom.

Thirty years after Mather died, the teenage son of a pen- and spring-knife maker was inspired, by a production of George Barnwell at the Theatre Royal in Tudor Street, to become an actor: he would become an eccentric local celebrity and another amazing Sheffield character who deserves to be more widely known. Harvey Teasdale started a spouting club* and staged illegal and often chaotic shows in pub back rooms, where it was not uncommon for unimpressed audiences to hiss and pelt performers off the stage. In the mid-1830s he was recruited to a travelling theatre in Retford and then to one at Conisborough: this show was such a flop that the actors had to steal potatoes and cabbages ‘to stifle the cravings of hunger’ that their ‘non-success had occasioned’. Over the next fifteen years Teasdale performed in casinos, pubs and theatres as an actor, clown and skin performer**. Audiences on the northern circuit, and especially in Sheffield, were rowdy and sometimes violent and the players could be too: in Stockport the actor playing Hamlet picked a fight with Teasdale, who was playing the Gravedigger, and they came to blows in Ophelia’s grave (‘the source of great amusement to the audience’). After a run of shows at the Adelphi on Blonk Street in 1847, Teasdale staged an incredible publicity stunt for his benefit night: I hit upon a very novel expedient to draw a full house and it succeeded admirably. I advertised, in flaming placards, that I would sail down the river in a washing-tub pulled by ducks. Teasdale tells us 70,000 turned out ‘to witness this marvellous and unprecedented sight’ shortly before admitting that a hundred people had died when a bridge gave way at Yarmouth during an identical caper not long before: in Sheffield, a wall collapsed in a yard on the Wicker and thirty people ended up in the river ‘with severe bruises’. Reports from the time suggest the ducks were ‘completely unmanageable’ and Teasdale ‘rolled and rocked about’ until he ‘got a good dousing’. Barry the Clown, pictured, was successful in 1840 on the Thames with geese, which are apparently much more trainable… During this period Teasdale perfected the act for which he would become most famous: the ‘man monkey’. In Grantham he took this act to new heights in an event he describes with characteristic modesty: It was in this theatre that the most daring feat that ever was performed in any theatre took place. The times were dull, the drama was getting stale, and it required something out of the common line to bring people into the theatre […] It was announced that the man monkey would make the daring and unparalleled leap from the gallery to the stage! […] I need hardly say it was a splendid and great financial success. In Darlington people apparently asked if Teasdale was a real monkey, and along with his clown act – acclaimed in Cardiff but slated in London – he enjoyed a period of relative success, playing in Edinburgh and across the north and even undertaking stints as manager at several provincial theatres. This success elsewhere, combined with desperation on the Sheffield entertainment scene, which endured several poor seasons in the 1850s, led him to become manager of the Adelphi in 1855. This is one of his playbills: The sheer variety of entertainment on offer is amazing: there are musical acts, Shakespeare plays, ‘low’ comedy and skin performers, crime and sensation dramas and pantomimes. Teasdale’s spell as manager wasn’t a great success, but it reveals him to be a committed and driven actor and manager who sought to provide Sheffield audiences with entertainment of every height of brow and opportunities to see many of the era’s biggest stars. The life of a showman, though, was a precarious one full of temptation: Teasdale omits to mention in his wonderful – if perhaps slightly fantastical – autobiography that he was twice brought before the magistrates for neglect of family. He is more candid about his struggles with drink, calling the aptly named Clown’s Head, which he managed for a time, a ‘cauldron of insanity, vice and folly’ and admitting that he often performed ‘in a complete state of inebriation’ (he also managed The Three Tuns in Silver Street Head, which to this day remains Sheffield’s most triangular pub). Teasdale’s nomadic lifestyle and his problems with drink and gambling took an immense toll on his marriage, bringing about the calamitous event that would see him sent to Wakefield Prison and eventually emerge as a zealous teetotaler. In August 1862 Teasdale arrived at a house where his estranged wife, Sarah, was staying. He begged her to take him back and when she refused fired a blank pistol at her, before attacking her with a razor and attempting to cut his own throat. Teasdale’s statement in court suggests he was paranoid and thought Sarah was ‘getting her living in the streets’ and bringing their daughters up to do the same. Surprised at the leniency of the jury, who found Teasdale guilty of the lesser charge of ‘unlawfully wounding’, the judge sentenced him to the longest possible term of two years hard labour. This event forms the pivot between the ‘Dark Side’ of Teasdale’s autobiography and the ‘Light Side’, which sees him convert in jail and join the Hallelujah Band (a forerunner of the Salvation Army) on his release. At a widely publicised event at the Temperance Hall in 1865, Teasdale burnt his costumes – including his monkey suit – along with scripts, scores and props. There were accusations that Teasdale had already burnt his costumes elsewhere, but he stuck to his new calling: he listed his profession as ‘lecturer’ in the 1871 census and advertised his services in the back of his book, The Life and Adventures of Harvey Teasdale, the Converted Clown and Man Monkey, which had apparently sold 42,000 copies by 1881. Kathleen Barker, historian of provincial theatre, argues that Teasdale’s life has much to tell us about the history of entertainment in the nineteenth century. It is a unique insight into ‘the twilight shows of provincial city pubs of the 1830s: not quite gaffs, not yet casinos; and [into] the travelling booths still criss-crossing the country’ and ‘his career as a performer illustrates particularly well the interrelationship between the various genres of entertainment in that period. Teasdale could move from Shakespeare to pantomime to circus to music hall, without an eyebrow being raised at such versatility and breach of type-casting’.^ Teasdale’s is a remarkable Sheffield life that grants us an insight into the working-class culture of the mid-nineteenth century and the rise of temperance in the 1860s. His brilliant autobiography is a rare document of the seedier side of the entertainment scene in Sheffield and a moving account of an ambitious and driven performer who dusted himself down after every failure and bad review – and there were many – to try his hand at something new and put on a show for the public who he tirelessly tried to please. * ‘A meeting of apprentices and mechanics to rehearse different characters in plays’, according to the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. ** An actor in full costume, like whoever was Chewbacca in Star Wars… ^ Barker’s papers at the Bristol University Theatre Collection, in which there are several files pertaining to Sheffield’s theatre scene, include a short, unpublished essay, ‘Spanning the Entertainment Scene – Harvey Teasdale, Clown of Theatre, Circus and Music Hall’.

HTC Evo 4G Reviewed by Jeffrey Allen The folks at Sprint were kind enough to send one of their HTC Evo phones to me for a review. I must say that I found the phone impressive. I still prefer the iPhone, but if someone did not want to get an iPhone for some reason and asked me for a recommendation, the HTC Evo would immediately come to mind. A 1 GHz Snapdragon processer provides the engine that powers the Evo. The processor enabled the phone to work well and with speed. The Evo has the ability to run on the 4G network that Sprint is cobbling together. The phone works noticeably faster in terms of Internet browsing and connectivity in areas that have 4G, but the areas of 4G coverage are still few and far between. It also works quite well as a 3G device, albeit somewhat slower, particularly in Internet-related activities. The Evo comes with a very large 4.3" touchscreen display that provides one of the best images I have seen on a smartphone device. It has dual cameras and is GPS enabled. It provides all the other features you would expect from a smartphone including the ability to access the Internet, handle email, play music, display photos, work with Bluetooth wireless devices, engage in flash photography, etc. It also works with Sprint TV. The phone lists for $449.99, but you can get it for $199.99 with a two-year plan from Sprint if you open a new account or have upgrade eligibility. The Evo works runs on the Android 2.2 system (see review of Android 2.2 in this issue for more information about the operating system). It runs the system well and matches nicely with its features. It also provides access to the Android Market, allowing you to download free apps as well as to purchase and download apps sold in the Market. The Evo sports an 8-megapixel camera, which I found somewhat disappointing. I expect better image quality from an 8-megapixel camera. It also does 720p HD video, but again, with lower quality than I expected. I have seen better results from telephone cameras with lower resolution. By comparison, the image quality pales in comparison to that from the 5-megapixel iPhone camera. The fact that the Evo operates on a 4G system (when and where available) is one of its best features. When you can connect with 4G, you get much better and much faster performance. Sprint claims that it is up to 10 times faster, but I did not experience that much of an increase. I suspect that when Sprint develops its 4G network more, the performance will improve because you will have better ability to handle the traffic, as well as greater and more reliable access. At the present time only a few cities have 4G capability, and it is not always easy to get the 4G network connection and keep it, even in those cities. If you lose the 4G connection, the 3G kicks in and the phone continues to operate, albeit more slowly. The Evo comes with the ability to function as a WiFi hotspot using Sprint’s 3G or 4G (where available) networks. It works quite well as a hotspot, although I recommend that you plug it into a power source when you use it as a hotspot because it drains the battery more than regular usage. Speaking of the battery, the phone comes with a 1500 mAh battery that lasts reasonably well, despite the very large display it powers. I found that charging the phone once a day worked adequately for me in normal usage patterns (moderate Internet browsing), email, occasional app use, taking a few pictures, and telephone usage. Oh yes, it also operates as a telephone, and quite a good one at that. The voice quality was quite good. The phone does not work as well in noisy environments as some others that I have used, but you can improve on that performance by using a Bluetooth headset with noise cancellation features built into its microphone system. I have had good results with such devices from Jawbone, Motorola, Plantronics, and Jabra. The Evo is one of the largest smartphones on the market (2.6" x 4.8" x .5"), but also one of the thinnest. It just fit into my shirt pocket. The phone weighs in at a very reasonable 6 ounces. Despite the limitations with the camera, the Evo is an excellent smartphone, easily my first choice of those sold by Sprint and my second choice among the current generation of smartphones (the iPhone remains my first choice). Android 2.2 Operating System Reviewed by Jeffrey Allen A few years ago, Google got into the smartphone game by releasing its Android operating system for smartphones. Initially, the system aroused some interest, but did not seriously compete with the established systems. As the OS matured and evolved, the system became more popular and now has reached the point where I consider it the second-best smartphone operating system on the market (I consider Apple’s iOS 4 the best). I have looked at the newest Blackberry OS (OS6) and consider it third best, behind the Android 2.2 system. Unlike either the Apple OS or the Blackberry OS, the Android 2.2 system does not limit itself to the hardware offered by a single manufacturer. As a result, several manufacturers make smartphones that employ the Android 2.2 OS, and you can find an Android phone available for use on most, if not all, provider networks. I have tried phones using the Android OS on both the Sprint and the Verizon networks and found that the system works well with the equipment available on both networks. The Android OS 2.2 provides a significantly enhanced operating speed in comparison to the earlier versions of Android. It works quickly and smoothly, handling the tasks assigned to it by the hardware manufacturer, your use, and the apps it runs from the Android Market. The OS also includes Adobe Flash, which allows it to run many graphics on a variety of websites. As you may know, the iOS does not run Flash. You can turn the ability to run Flash off, an excellent feature because leaving it on gets you a lot of ads while you browse and also slows down the operating speed of the system. I like the interface provided by Android 2.2. It is fairly intuitive and works well. It is one of the easiest to use that I have encountered with smartphones. Phones using the Android 2.2 OS can access the Android Market. The Android Market offers free and for sale apps to enhance the features of your smartphone. The Android Market continues to evolve and now has a pretty decent collection of apps available for you. The last number I saw for the available apps was 35,000. While 35,000 gives you a pretty decent selection, it pales in comparison to the iTunes App store and its support for Apple’s OS. The fact that the Android OS supports hardware from numerous manufacturers as well as all major service providers, however, creates the potential for the total number of apps to grow rapidly as developers try to cash in on the rapidly growing acceptance of the Android OS by manufacturers and users. I am less pleased with the way Android 2.2 handles email by comparison with the Blackberry OS. Blackberry still excels at the handling of email. Nevertheless, the handling of email was satisfactory. The Android OS has evolved to a very smooth and very powerful contender in the smartphone marketplace. I would not hesitate to acquire a phone using Android 2.2. Android 2.2 represents enough of an improvement over Android 2.1 that you will want to opt for it in your selection process. Unless handling email was my priority and my primary use of the device, I would choose an Android device if, for whatever reason, I did not want or could not get an iPhone 4 and its iOS 4.Jeffrey Allen is the principal in the law firm of Graves & Allen with a general practice that, since 1973, has emphasized negotiation, structuring, and documentation of real estate acquisitions, loans and other business transactions, receiverships, related litigation, and bankruptcy.

Cockadoodlemom sent me 5 goose eggs. They are from her purebred embdens. We are testing the fertility for her gander. The eggs were packed perfectly. I put them in the bator with my other set of goose eggs. 5 goose eggs in the bator on March 7th. Hatch date should be the weekend of April 4 - 6. When I was checking my other eggs this morning I ran the Surefire across the new eggs - 2 are showing veins!! Woot! Cocoadoodlemom, I can't tell you anything about hatchability yet but I can tell you that your gander is a fertile boy!! The eggs are in a Hovabtor 1588 with a goose egg turner. Temps are holding at 100.1 with 58 - 61% humidity.

The Beit She’an Children’s Music School is a project that is near and dear to our hearts. Recently Curt Landry Ministries has the incredible privilege of taking 118 people from all over the world to the nation of Israel. We met with many people over the course of our ten-day journey, but the Beit She’an Children’s Music School seemed to be a personal favorite of many on the tour. Building the relationship… This small town, located on the border of Jordan and Israel, has experienced much hardship over the years. Because of its strategic location and limited resources, it has been a key target for missiles and numerous attacks. Over the years, it has been our privilege to assist the City of Beit She’an in any way that we can. Through the generous support of our monthly partners, and through many donations, we have been able to provide much needed meals to impoverished families. Before the state of Israel provided dentistry through their national health care system, we set up a dental clinic that provided state-of-the-art services to children and adults in desperate need of dentistry. Some of our favorite works includes time spent painting a school building for special needs children. Their smiles and gratitude were contagious—the entire day was filled with shrieks of joy and laughter as once tired walls became illuminated with beautiful bright colors. We are pleased to announce… Now, it is our pleasure to announce that we are supporting a music school for underprivileged children whose families cannot afford such an expense on their own. This year, as we took many of our supporters with us to visit our friends from Beit She’an, the happy faces of these incredible students greeted us. Not only did they meet with us, but they also prepared a one-song concert where they played and sang the song, “Hallelujah,” by the famous Jewish composer, Leonard Cohen. You couldn’t help but see the joy in both the parent’s faces, as well as the children’s. Many of those who joined us on the tour sat with tears in their eyes. We heard many testimonies from those who contribute to the ministry monthly as Covenant Partners. They saw just how much their consistent monthly gift was changing these children’s lives. Children living in poverty now have something that is uniquely theirs… the gift of music. A testimony of friendship… The former mayor of Beit She’an, now Israeli Minister of Construction, Jackie Levy got up and addressed the audience for a time, where he shared about the unique friendship that he has with Curt Landry and the supporters of Curt Landry Ministries. Mr. Levy expressed a since of pride due to all of the work that has been accomplished between the two. Curt Landry also expressed his heartfelt thanks for all those who had helped to make the work we do possible in Beit She’an. He revealed that without the consistent support from contributors it could not have taken place. One of our Covenant Partners related this story… “At the closing of the concert, one child’s mother came up to me and in broken-English asked me several times, “Why do you do this? Why do you do this for our children?” Honestly, I was shocked by the question. I saw the beautiful look on the children’s faces, and I said, “It is because of their smiles.” But the mother asked me again, “But why do you do this for OUR children? For our Jewish children?” I responded with tears in my eyes… “Because we love you. We love the nation of Israel.” Sharing the love of Christ… Once the concert was over, many of the tour members mingled and met with the families who they had helped support on this musical journey. During that time it was obvious that the children were extremely proud of their instruments—taking great care to ensure that they were put away properly. If you would like to contribute to programs like this one please connect with us today.

Food and Drug Administration, HHS. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve from class III to class II. The device is intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops (increase in endolymphatic fluid) of Meniere's disease. This reclassification is based upon new information regarding the device contained in a reclassification petition submitted by E. Benson Hood Laboratories, Inc. (Hood Laboratories). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a notice of availability of a draft guidance document that would serve as the special control if this proposal becomes final. FDA is taking this action under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), as amended by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (the 1976 amendments), the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), and the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). Submit written or electronic comments by November 13, 2001. See section XII for the proposed effective date of a final rule based on this document. Submit written comments to the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments to http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments.Start Further Info FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James K. Kane, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-460), Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850, 301-594-2080.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information I. Background (Regulatory authorities) The act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), as amended by the 1976 amendments (Public Law 94-295), the SMDA (Public Law 101-629), and FDAMA (Public Law 105-115), established a comprehensive system for the regulation of medical devices intended for human use. Section 513 of the act (21 U.S.C. 360c) established three categories (classes) of devices, depending on the regulatory controls needed to provide reasonable assurance of their safety and effectiveness. The three categories of devices are class I (general controls), class II (special controls), and class III (premarket approval). Under section 513 of the act, devices that were in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 (the date of enactment of the 1976 amendments), generally referred to as preamendments devices, are classified after FDA has: (1) Received a recommendation from a device classification panel (an FDA advisory committee); (2) published the panel's recommendation for comment, along with a proposed regulation classifying the device; and (3) published a final regulation classifying the device. FDA has classified most preamendments devices under these procedures. Devices that were not in commercial distribution prior to May 28, 1976, generally referred to as postamendments devices, are classified automatically by statute (section 513(f) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360c(f)) into class III without any FDA rulemaking process. Those devices remain in class III and require premarket approval, unless and until: (1) The device is reclassified into class I or II; (2) FDA issues an order classifying the device into class I or II in accordance with new section 513(f)(2) of the act, as amended by FDAMA; or (3) FDA issues an order finding the device to be substantially equivalent, under section 513(i) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360c(i)), to a predicate device that does not require premarket approval. The agency determines whether new devices are substantially equivalent to previously offered devices by means of premarket notification procedures in section 510(k) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and 21 CFR part 807 of the regulations. A preamendments device that has been classified into class III may be marketed, by means of premarket notification procedures, without submission of a premarket approval application (PMA) until FDA issues a final regulation under section 515(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360e(b)) requiring premarket approval. Reclassification of classified preamendments devices is governed by section 513(e) of the act. This section provides that FDA may, by rulemaking, reclassify a device (in a proceeding that parallels the initial classification proceeding) based upon “new information.” The reclassification can be initiated by FDA or by the petition of an interested person. The term “new information,” as used in section 513(e) of the act, includes information developed as a result of a reevaluation of the data before the agency when the device was originally classified, as well as information not presented, not available, or not developed at that time. (See, e.g., Holland Rantos v. United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 587 F.2d 1173, 1174 n.1 (D.C. Cir. 1978); Upjohn v. Finch, 422 F.2d 944 (6th Cir. 1970); Bell v. Goddard, 366 F.2d 177 (7th Cir. 1966).) Reevaluation of the data previously before the agency is an appropriate basis for subsequent regulatory action where the reevaluation is made in light of newly available regulatory authority (see Bell v. Goddard, supra, 366 F.2d at 181; Ethicon, Inc. v. FDA, 762 F. Supp. 382, 389-91 (D.D.C. 1991)), or in light of changes in “medical science.” (See Upjohn v. Finch, supra, 422 F.2d at 951.) Regardless of whether data before the agency are past or new data, the “new information” to support reclassification under section 513(e) of the act must consist of “valid scientific evidence,” as defined in section 513(a)(3) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360c(a)(3)) and 21 CFR 860.7(c)(2). (See, e.g., General Medical Co. v. FDA, 770 F.2d 214 (D.C. Cir. 1985); Contact Lens Assoc. v. FDA, 766 F.2d 592 (D.C. Cir.), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1062 (1985)). FDA relies upon “valid scientific evidence” in the classification process to determine the level of regulation for devices. For the purpose of reclassification, the valid scientific evidence upon which the agency relies must be publicly available. Publicly available information excludes trade secret and/or confidential commercial information, e.g., nonpublic information in a pending PMA. (See section 520c of the act (21 U.S.C. 360j(c).) II. Regulatory History of the Device In the Federal Register of November 6, 1986 (51 FR40378), FDA issued a final rule classifying the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve into class III (21 CFR 874.3850). The preamble to the proposal to classify the device (47 FR 3280, January 22, 1982) included the Start Printed Page 42810recommendation of the Ear, Nose, and Throat Devices Panel (the Panel) regarding the classification of the device, a summary of the reasons the device should be subject to premarket approval, and identification of certain risks to health presented by the device. The Panel also recommended under section 513(c)(2)(A) of the act that a high priority for the application of section 515 of the act be assigned to the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve. In the Federal Register of January 6, 1989 (54 FR 550), FDA published a notice of intent to initiate proceedings to require premarket approval of 31 preamendments class III devices assigned a high priority by FDA for application of premarket approval requirements. Among other things, the notice described the factors FDA takes into account in establishing priorities for initiating proceedings under section 515(b) of the act for issuing final rules requiring that preamendments class III devices have approved PMAs or declared completed product development protocol (PDPs). Using those factors, FDA determined that the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve, identified in § 874.3850, had a high priority for initiating a proceeding to require premarket approval. Accordingly, FDA began a rulemaking to require that the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve have an approved PMA or a PDP that has been declared completed. In the Federal Register of May 4, 1990 (55 FR 18830), FDA issued a proposed rule to require the filing of a PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP for the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve. In accordance with section 515(b)(2)(A) of the act, the preamble to the proposal included the agency's proposed findings with respect to the degree of risk of illness or injury designed to be eliminated or reduced by requiring the device to meet the premarket approval requirements, and the benefits to the public from the use of the device. The proposal also provided an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed rule and to request a change in the classification of the device based on new information relevant to its classification. The period for requesting a change in the classification of the device closed on May 21, 1990. The period for commenting on the proposed rule closed on July 3, 1990. FDA did not receive any comments on the proposed rule. On July 27, 1990, FDA received a petition from Hood Laboratories requesting a change in the classification of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve from class III to class II. In response to requests from FDA for additional information, the Hood Laboratories petition was amended on April 8, 1991, and May 8, 1992, and filed on May 29, 1992. The Panel met on June 11, 1992, and recommended that the generic endolymphatic shunt tube with valve be reclassified from class III to class II. FDA disagreed with the Panel's recommendation. FDA found that the petition contained insufficient valid scientific evidence to determine that the controls described in section 513(a)(1)(B) of the act, in addition to the general controls applicable to all devices, would provide reasonable assurance of the device's safety and effectiveness for its intended use. In particular, FDA found that Hood Laboratories did not adequately address the issues of normal endolymphatic shunt pressure, the mode of action of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve, flow characteristics, nor the risks associated with the use of the device. Accordingly, in the Federal Register of December 9, 1996 (61 FR 64909), FDA published a notice denying Hood Laboratories' petition to reclassify the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve from class III to class II. On May 27, 1997, Hood Laboratories submitted a second petition (Ref. 1) in accordance with section 513(e) of the act and § 860.130 (21 CFR 860.130(a)), based on new information. The petitioner again requested reclassification of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve from class III to class II and provided new information that adequately addressed FDA's concerns. As discussed further below, the petitioner submitted additional information regarding the risks associated with the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve. The new information showed that risks such as incidences of infection and clogging have similar occurrences in the valved and nonvalved endolymphatic shunts. The nonvalved device was classified into class II in 1986. In accordance with section 513(e) of the act, § 860.130, and based on new information submitted or otherwise available to the agency with respect to the device, FDA is proposing to reclassify this device from class III to class II when the device is intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops of Meniere's disease. Consistent with the act and the regulation, FDA did not refer the petition to the Panel for its recommendation on the requested change in classification. III. Device Description The endolymphatic shunt tube with valve is a device that consists of a pressure-limiting valve associated with a tube intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops (increase in endolymphatic fluid) of Meniere's disease. The device directs excess endolymph (the fluid contained in the membranous labyrinth of the ear) from the distended (enlarged or swollen) end of the endolymphatic system into the mastoid cavity (area of the temporal bone behind the ear) where reabsorption of the fluid occurs. The function of the pressure-limiting inner ear valve is to maintain the physiologically normal endolymphatic pressure and to ensure a unidirectional flow of endolymph. Hood Laboratories' endolymphatic shunt tube with valve is the only device of its type in commercial distribution in the United States. It consists of a silicone catheter connected to a silicone tube that is inside a molded silicone body. The inside silicone tube has a slit valve at one end that allows the endolymph to exit. The silicone tube is inserted into the end of the endolymphatic sac to allow the endolymph to flow through the valve and into the mastoid cavity via the tail-like portion of the molded silicone body. IV. Proposed Reclassification FDA is proposing to reclassify the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops of Meniere's disease from class III to class II. FDA believes that class II with the guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Endolymphatic Shunt Tube With Valve” as the special control would provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. V. Risks to Health When the device was classified into class III (51 FR 40378), FDA identified the primary risk to health presented by the device as a build up of fluid pressure in the inner ear due to a clogged or inoperative valve. FDA also believed that any surgical procedure to correct a defective valve presented additional risks to health, including infection due to revision surgery. During the open public meeting (June 11, 1992) (Ref. 2) and review of the first Hood Laboratories reclassification petition, the Panel noted the similarities between the valved and nonvalved Start Printed Page 42811shunts. Both the valved shunt device (class III) and the nonvalved shunt device (class II) drain excess endolymph from the distended end of the endolymphatic system into the mastoid cavity where resorption occurs. They further noted that both devices are intended to relieve the symptoms of Meniere's disease. The nonvalved shunt (class II device) permits the unrestricted flow of excess endolymph, while the valved shunt (class III device) is intended to control the flow of endolymph so that a normal endolymphatic pressure is maintained. During its review and discussion of the first petition (June 11, 1992), the Panel also acknowledged the difficulty in diagnosing, treating, and assessing the treatment plans for Meniere's disease and could not agree that the valved shunt is effective, but believed the device “does something worthwhile” in treating the symptoms. An invited guest speaker (Ref. 13) was concerned with the long-term functioning and integrity of the capillary tubing material, SupramidTM, that was used in Hood Laboratories' shunt. FDA noted that the benefits resulting from implantation of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve, i.e., relief of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness which typifies Meniere's disease, appeared to be very similar to those resulting from implantation of the nonvalved shunt (Ref. 2). At the end of the meeting, FDA believed that there were potential benefits of the device in improving hearing, relief of vertigo, reduction of fullness in the ear, and mitigation of tinnitus. However, FDA believed that the petitioner had not adequately addressed the concerns about any buildup of fluid pressure in the inner ear due to a clogged or inoperative valved device, or the risk of infection from revision surgery. FDA believed that sufficient information existed regarding the risks associated with the device, but that the information needed to be assembled in such a way as to enable the agency to determine the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. Since that time, the petitioner has assembled additional information regarding the risks associated with the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve. Huang and Lin (Ref. 3) and Arenberg (Ref. 4) report that risks such as incidence of infections and clogging have similar occurrences in the valved and nonvalved endolymphatic shunts. Both shunts have been used for more than 20 years without reportable events of major or frequent safety or effectiveness problems. A search of FDA's medical device reporting (MDR) database reveals no deaths, serious injuries, or malfunctions. Although the claim of maintaining normal endolymphatic pressure by the valved shunt has not been established during its use over the past 20 years, FDA now believes that the risks previously identified with the valved shunt are not substantially different from those associated with the nonvalved shunt, and that special controls would provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. VI. Summary of Reasons for Reclassification After considering the new information contained in the petitioner's second petition, reevaluation of the data contained in the first petition, and more than 20 years of safe use of the device, FDA believes that special controls would provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve for its intended use. Observational data (Refs. 4 through 12) suggest that the shunt tube with valve may preserve hearing and reduce or eliminate symptoms in some persons with Meniere's disease who require surgical intervention. FDA believes that the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops of Meniere's disease should be reclassified into class II because special controls, in addition to general controls, would provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device, and there is now sufficient information to establish special controls to provide such assurance. VII. Summary of Data Upon Which the Reclassification is Based In addition to the potential risks identified above, there are potential benefits of the device in improving hearing: (1) Relief of vertigo, (2) reduction of the fullness in the ear, and (3) mitigation of tinnitus. Observational data, including case reports submitted by Hood Laboratories, suggest that the valved shunt may preserve hearing and reduce or eliminate symptoms in persons with Meniere's disease who require surgical intervention (Refs. 4 through 12). Wright (Ref. 9) maintains that the valved implant is superior to other methods of endolymphatic sac surgery after 7 years of experience and followup. Stahle (Ref. 7) reports that his results suggest that the pressure-sensitive, unidirectional inner ear valve is safe for long-term human implantation. He also reports that severely incapacitated patients can be relieved of vertigo without a destructive labyrinthectomy and can have significant sustained sensory hearing improvements as well. Other data suggest improved hearing in patients with the valved shunt as compared to patients implanted with the nonvalved shunt (Refs. 8 through 9). The determination of the lack of injury to the inner ear is based upon indirect evidence such as audiological testing and the evaluation of vertigo. Based on the available information, FDA believes that the special control discussed below is capable of providing reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the endolymphatic shunt tube with valve with regard to the identified risks to health of this device. VIII. Special Control In addition to general controls, FDA believes that the guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Endolymphatic Shunt Tube With Valve,” is an adequate special control to address the potential risks to health described for this device. Technical areas noted in the guidance to address the potential risks to health for this device include: Based on the scientific data available, FDA believes labeling that restricts the use of the device to patients considered appropriate by the attending physician will lessen the need for revision surgery. B. Valve Performance One hundred percent sample testing, prior to implantation, would demonstrate valve performance equivalency to any currently marketed device. C. Materials Specification Adherence to a bio-material with chemical stability in a physiological environment will address the concern of long-term functioning and integrity of the device. D. Biocompatibility Testing Adherence to biocompatibility testing procedures presented in FDA, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Office of Device Evaluation, Blue Book Memorandum G95-1, “Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing,” (Ref. 14) can control the risk of adverse tissue reaction.Start Printed Page 42812 E. Sterility Testing Adherence to the sterility testing procedures presented in the guidance document entitled “510(k) Sterility Review Guidance,” January 2, 1990 (K90-1) (Ref. 15) can help control the risk of infection by guarding against the implantation of an unsterile device. IX. Environmental Impact The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.34(b) that this proposed reclassification action is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. X. Analysis of Impacts FDA has examined the impacts of the proposed rule under Executive Order 12866, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) (as amended by subtitle D of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121)), and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4)). Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety, and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The agency believes that this proposed rule is consistent with the regulatory philosophy and principles identified in the Executive order. In addition, the proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined by the Executive order and so is not subject to review under the Executive order. The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires agencies to analyze regulatory options that would minimize any significant impact of a rule on small entities. Reclassification of this device from class III to class II will relieve all manufacturers of the device of the cost of complying with the premarket approval requirements in section 515 of the act. Because reclassification will reduce regulatory costs with respect to this device, it will impose no significant economic impact on any small entities, and it may permit small potential competitors to enter the marketplace by lowering their costs. The agency therefore certifies that this reclassification action, if finalized, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In addition, this reclassification action will not impose costs of $100 million or more on either the private sector or State, local, and tribal governments in the aggregate, and therefore a summary statement of analysis under section 202(a) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 is not required. XI. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 FDA tentatively concludes that this proposed rule contains no information that is subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The special control does not require the respondent to submit additional information. XII. Submission of Comments and Proposed Dates Interested persons may submit to the Dockets Management Branch (address above) written or electronic comments regarding this proposal by November 13, 2001. Two copies of any comments are to be submitted except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

On July 13, 2017, White Pine Waterpower, LLC, filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to be located near the town of Ely in White Pine, Nevada. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission. The applicant proposes to study two alternative closed-loop pumped storage alternatives at the site: One sized to 250 megawatts (MW) and the other to 500 MW. The 500-MW alternative would consist of the following: (1) A new upper reservoir with a surface area of 52 acres and a storage capacity of 2,400 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately 8,530 feet above mean sea level (msl) created through construction of a new earth or rock-filled dam; (2) a new lower reservoir with a surface area of 40 acres and a total storage capacity of 2,400 acre-feet at a surface elevation of 6,290 feet msl; (3) 10,600 feet of tunnel and penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (5) a new underground powerhouse containing three turbine-generator units; (6) a new 1.5 mile transmission line connecting the powerhouse to a nearby electric grid interconnection, (7) appurtenant facilities. The 500-MW alternative would have an annual generation of 502,717 megawatt-hours (MWh). For the 250-MW alternative, the new upper and lower reservoirs would be sized to have half of the storage of the 500-MW alternative (1,200 acre-feet), reducing the dam size needed to impound the reservoirs. The alternative would require 11,700 feet of tunnel and penstock and have 2 pump-generating units. The 250-MW alternative would require the same transmission line and would have an estimated annual generation of 547,500 MWh. Applicant Contact: Matthew Shapiro, CEO, Gridflex Energy, LLC, 1210 W.

For a small Dutch company we need to rebuild our website. Current site can be seen at Scrapboek.nl. It was built in html and now we need to evolve to a cms. We would prefer to do it in Joomla, but that seems to have some problems on our server. We have created a layout, and we just need someone to build the website according to the layout, in stead of the other way around (we use to adapt the layout so it will fit in the cms, lol. Important information: The troubles we have with Joomla, is that installed modules do not work properly. Some do, but most don't. For example, akobook installs fine. But sometimes when you click it in the admin, it just reroutes to the main admin page. And in the frontend, when you click the akobook link, it sais page not found. Click it again, and it appears fine. I wonder if it could have something to do with safemode (which sadly, can't be turned off). So, if you think you can build on this domain, without these bugs. Please let me know :)

The International Surfing Association (ISA) has announced the official opening of the application period for the 2017 ISA Scholarship Program, which distributes financial aid and equipment grants to young surfers around the world. 2016 ISA Scholarship winners from Ghana, Frank Ayaa, Bernard Bannor and Joshua Bannor (left to right), display the new surfboards that they were able to get with their scholarship awards. Photo: Mr. Brights Surf Shop More than 300 surfers have benefitted from the ISA Scholarship Program since 2007, receiving a total of USD $248,500 to upgrade Surfing equipment, travel to contests, and pay for education fees. The scholarships are awarded to surfers 18 years and under based on their financial need, dedication to Surfing, and academic excellence. In 2016, 35 surfers from 21 countries across all five continents were selected as scholarship winners, exemplifying the global growth of Surfing and the ISA’s commitment to developing the sport in non-traditional Surfing nations. Many ISA Scholarship recipients have been selected to represent their National Surfing Teams in World Championships, with 17 past winners representing their countries at the 2016 VISSLA ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in the Azores. Some recipients have gone on to rank among the elite athletes of the sport including Carlos Muñoz (CRI), who won in 2008 and 2009, and Chelsea Tuach (BAR), who won in 2008. ISA President, Fernando Aguerre, said: “The ISA Scholarship Program exemplifies our commitment to the development of youth Surfing around the world. Since the program’s launch a decade ago, we can see the positive effect that the program has had on the lives of our scholarship ambassadors around the world. We have watched them grow to become excellent surfers and more importantly great human beings. “As part of our strategy for global expansion, it’s important to support the youth to ensure a bright future for the sport. This ISA Scholarship Program has played a key role in promoting the sport in non-traditional Surfing nations such as Ghana, India and Haiti, where Surfing is growing in popularity. “As we rapidly approach Surfing’s Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games, we very well could see one of our Scholarship winners rise to the world’s greatest sporting stage and compete among the first wave of Olympic surfers.” The 2017 ISA Scholarship application period ends on April 30, with the winners being announced by August 1.

Ignore what I'm trying to manage here. I'm only curious why it doesn't accept "if" statement in this for loop. As I stated it says "cannot convert from int to boolean". Why do you think it says so? That expression should be realizes an boolean in side the if, otherwise compilation error. Try to this code: -

Due to new outlets like blogs, "there's going to be a lot of trying to determine how much [brand managers] control the marketing mix and how much you let consumers control," says Ms. Zwicky, 26, a student at UW's Center for Brand & Product Management. She adds that consumers "want to drive their own message. [The challenge is] trying to manage that message ... without having it be too contrived or 'packaged.' " The ad agency must "have more of a role in the brand-marketing group," she says, though adding that "the ownership of the brand needs to stay with the brand manager." The best such execs, says Amy Schmidt, director of the center, are "stewards of the brand." U.

Following Laura and Desiree’s discussion of myths associated with creative writers and English majors, it falls to me to discuss fables about that mythical beast, the English professor. I suppose that it is fitting for me to tackle this topic, since one of these myths involves the spurious authority that simply being English gives you as an English professor. Although there are lots of people in England who aren’t remotely professorial (like soccer hooligans and gameshow hosts), the feeling persists in some circles that the ideal English professor is an English English professor. As a colleague reported to me, an American student in her class complained that it was “unfair” for a visiting British student to be able to take History of British Literature, when she was so clearly at an advantage in the subject because she was British and would thus have an innate understanding of the intricacies of medieval drama and seventeenth-century poetry (the same apparently did not apply to the American students in History of American literature). It is true that when I think about English professors in the abstract, my first point of reference is Michael Caine in the film Educating Rita. Caine plays Dr Frank Bryant, an English professor who is definitely phoning it in. Having taken on an Open University student to finance his serious drink problem, Bryant is profoundly changed by his encounter with Susan, a hairdresser turned ardent English major (actually, this film is also a touchstone for me when it comes to encounters with hairdressers). Who could forget Susan’s inspired early answer to a set question about the staging difficulties associated with Ibsen’s Peer Gynt?–“Do it on the radio.” Bryant, after training Susan to react and to write as an ideal student of English literature, bemoans the loss of the vibrant, untutored ingénue that she used to be, despising himself and his profession for its particular brand of conventionality. It’s a lovely, Pygmalionesque film about class, gender, and the effect of institutionalization on the study of literature, and it certainly wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for the stereotype of the male, alcoholic, tweed-coat-with-leather-elbows-wearing, profoundly unhappy English professor. The thinking behind such representations of the English professor seems to be that a lifetime spent largely on your own reading does not fit you for success in interpersonal communication. Years of contemplating love, death, the meaning of life, etc., will only buy you an addictive and self-destructive habit. Chain-smoking, or at least pipe-smoking, used to be a standard facet of the character set for an English-professor, but now not only is smoking banned in offices, but you can’t smoke within twenty feet of a building, and soon you will not be able to smoke on campus at all. In earlier times this would have decimated the intellectual ranks, but now it will barely make a dent in the sushi-eating, yoga-performing professorial phalanx. If the smoking hasn’t already done it, campus-wide smoking bans will finish off the stereotypical chain-smoking professor. Another attribute of the mythical English professor is excessive facial hair. Within my particular discipline of Anglo-Saxon studies, a beard is so de rigeur that you still feel a little dressed down at conferences without one. Famous beards of the field include Frederick Furnivall’s. Furnivall was the, by all accounts not very good, second editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, and founder of the venerable and still pivotal, Early English Text Society. In his spare time he coached a women’s sculling team, and I think you can tell a lot about Furnivall from this photograph of him among the ladies. “Boo-ya!” says his beard, “don’t question my knowledge of multiple dead languages.” So much for the myth of the hard-drinking, smoking, tweedy, bearded male English professor. Perhaps you could share with us some of your favorite representations of professors, and whether, and in what ways, you find them to be true to life. — Jackie Stodnik

The second answer is political. The bigger the state becomes, the more power accrues to politicians and bureaucrats, and the greater the threat to individual liberty. This is the key concern of classical liberal thinking from Locke to Hayek, but again, not everybody is convinced. Is a new day care centre really going to push us down the road to serfdom? Is Scandinavia really closer to totalitarianism because of its generous welfare system? This leaves the third answer, which is moral. Leaving things to the government, rather than doing them for ourselves, is wrong. This argument is the most difficult to make. Many people assume socialism is ‘moral’ because it aims to make the world better with well-intentioned programs for social reconstruction. Supporting high taxes, radical income redistribution and an expanded welfare state are signs that you ‘care’ about people. Opposing these things indicates selfishness, greed and a reckless disregard for society’s problems. So we have to win hearts as well as minds, and this means arguing on moral grounds, as well as economic and political ones. Perhaps the best moral argument for small state solutions was developed by Charles Murray in In pursuit of happiness and good government. Murray says policies should be judged by their impact on human happiness, which he defines as ‘justified satisfaction with your life.’ Happiness is not the same as passive contentment. Justified satisfaction with life is only possible when we do things for ourselves. The welfare state undermines this. Referring to Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs, Murray shows how increasing reliance on government threatens both self-respect (which is achieved by taking responsibility for things) and self-actualisation (which is achieved by overcoming challenges). Yet both of these are essential for leading a good and happy life. It is always possible to raise a bit more money so the government can launch another program to tackle some problem. And it is not necessarily true that this threatens personal liberty and pushes us further down the road to serfdom. But to lead good and fulfilling lives, people need to be able to sort out their own problems, individually or in cooperation with others, rather than having the state take this responsibility away from them. A bigger state may be able to make people more contented, but a smaller state is essential if human beings are truly to pursue happiness.

Hi Micheal. I am so happy you were able to connect with everyone else..and that you continued to come here even tho you had yet to receive a response. I dunno why I clicked on your name that night, I saw you were online, and when I read your post, and realized it had been nearly 10 days, I knew I had to do something! If no ne had responded to me when I first came here, I would have been crushed...lol...I am glad you had the tenacity to hang around. I think the best thing about this place, is I know I am not alone in my grief and emotional fears...and there is always someone hear to support us. I am sorry your wife died, and she was so young! Family doesn,t really understand..they seem to think that we "should be over it" as time passes. Unless they have been in our shoes, they can,t know that sometimes it gets WORSE as time passes...and, also, sometimes our "Family" tends to be people we're are "Stuck with" (Not imeadiate family, like your children) they might be people we would have never befriended...where I now live my husbands family lives here..and if I asked they would help me..but I don,y want to b obligated to them. Which is tough, as I DON!T DRIVE! And I am stuck in an area with no public transportation...in Oklahoma..where we retired to 13 years ago...the rest of my family and friends are in Northern California, where I plan to return to, but I seem to be frozen in time, and immobile. I just hope it will,get better and I will find the will to get my tushie in gear. So, welcome Micheal..btw, I LOVE that u talk to yr wife all the time...I do the same. I feel BOb is always with me, and he helps me get through each day. Bye for now.. Hi Micheal...welcome to Legacy. NO one has responded, as your post is kind of hidden on your personal page. Omg, I hope you DIDN,t think we were ignoring you...you need to go to the main page, and click on bereaved spouses, or when a spouse or partner dies...this site is a bit difficult at first to navigate. I feel so badly there wqsn,t a response to your post.. YES YES YES?..what you are feeling is what all of us feel...my husband died of cancer 4 months after your wife died, and I totally understand what you are feeling. There is so much support and understanding here...it just takes finding the correct place...I hope I have steered you in the right direction...I just happened to see your name that u were online right now...so don,t worry..you have friends here...and we will all be here for you. I will also contact Steve Cain who is sort of one of the people who started this group, and he might b able to transfer your post to where we can all respond. If you have more trouble, don,t hesitate to leave ME a post on my page, MARY JANE...and yes, I cry every day..just like you. On Saturday, it would have been Bobs and my 50th anniversary...so I am pretty much a wreck at the moment...but rest assured, we are here for you. My wife and I were given the diagnosis of her cancer two months after her 41st birthday. We were told she would do chemo until she couldn't handle it anymore. She fought for 2 and a half years. She died October 28th 2015, it was our middle sons 18th birthday. She was at home in our living room, a room I still have trouble going into. I talk to her every day and cry most of them. I realized this past weekend that I have trouble getting around family. Especially her side. I'm just wondering if this is something others have experienced?

Tuesday, 23 February 2010 Okay, so here we are, in the thick of a heated word-joust on a controversial topic. Abortion. Euthanasia. Religion. Capitalism. War. Eastenders. And you are battling it out for your point of view (which is obviously, right. Clearly), armed to the hilt with quick quips, wordy monologues and sneaky counter-arguments. There is no way you are backing down, oh HELL no, it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings. Or dies. So it's motormouth central. Sentences clash loudly in the air like a scene in Star Wars. Interruption after interruption after interjection disguised with a 'polite' sorrytointerrupt or yougonoyougonogoaheadokay. You have the Answer! you have the Truth! You have the Solution! Everyone else should know about it. In fact you couldn't be more right. Yes you. Shut up. In the words of Fergie, shut up, just shut up, shut up. Put a cork in it. Why are you talking? You should realize in is not particularly intelligent to storm in all guns blazing. Why? In case you hadn't noticed, everyone else thinks they are just as right as you, my love. They think their arguments are better than yours. They think you're talking poo. So the more you talk, the more 'poo' they think they are getting bombarded with. And nobody likes to be showered in poo-poo, even if you think yours really smells like roses. Try this for size. Listen to what they have to say. Sure. their point of view is highly tedious but lets be clear on one thing. Your point of view sounds exactly as silly from where they're standing. Close your too-eager mouth and prick up your ears. Try to see things from their point of view-you may disagree whole-heartedly, but try to figure out why they might hold these preposterous views that may even offend you. Think about why it offends yo. See how far you can agree with what they are saying. Don't interrupt. Don't interject. When you finally do speak, tell them what you agree on. And then say very little. There is no point trying to convince them of your infallible point of view. Say what you need to say in as little words as possible-if they want to know more they'll ask. You'll look alot more intelligent and well-balanced this way, think about it. And after lending an ear, you will be. Do do us all a favour and shut up. That includes you Almaz.

However, when my lousy alarm clock sets off with its old classic ring tone, I never hesitate to slam it right away. Then I tell myself that I will get up in the next five minutes, but quite often I go back to sleep. As soon as I open my eyes again, I know I am already late. However, I jump out of bed with a dizzy feeling and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth while taking a shower to save time. I like to use herbal spearmint toothpaste, although my mother says that the taste is too strong. After a shower, I rush to put on clothes. With so little time to think, I often grab something black to go with a pair of jeans. No wonder why most of the instructors at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago wear black. Now I know. "What is there to eat?" is a sentence that I have been using every day since I was young. Nonetheless, I feel so glad that I don't have to cook for myself anymore like when I stayed in The States. I eat anything just to fill my stomach, usually just the boiled rice that my father has continuously had for breakfast for more than thirty years. I start up the old golden Toyota Camry that I have driven for almost seven years to go to work. It takes about forty-five minutes to drive from my home. My girlfriend always says that I drive too slowly, as I never drive more than a hundred kilometers per hour. The traffic jams in Bangkok have become so common in my daily life. Sometimes I spend up to four hours in the car - that means one sixth of the day. Such a waste of time, isn't it? After work, I often visit my girlfriend. She runs a bakery nearby. It is good that now I can see her more often after we were apart for four years. I like to take her to a duck noodle restaurant near her shop. She loves duck legs so much that she always orders two. I normally drive my girlfriend home two to three times a week. It feels so lonely after I drop her off and have to drive back home alone for at least one hour. Anyway, when I arrive home I spend a little time talking to her on a phone. Before I go to bed, after a prayer, I love to spend time thinking about things I have seen and people I have met. As usual, I never forget to set my alarm clock for 5:25am, hoping that I will get up to give food offerings to a Buddhist monk on time. This is just a part of my life, also a part of my art. by Kay Rosen I first met Adi in 2006 when he was a student of mine working on his MFA degree at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As a student from Thailand, Adi had spent many years navigating the tricky linguistic and cultural terrain of Western schooling in Scotland and in the United States. I was impressed by the seriousness and toughness with which his work squarely embraced these challenges, and I came to realize that his distance from his native home and his relationship with his adoptive one played a huge role in his art and formed the core of it. His paintings and sculptures were nourished by his longing for what he left behind. However, I feel strongly that Adi's feet are planted not so much in the past versus present, or Asia versus North America, but rather in a zone somewhere in between where memory, dreams and fantasy bleed together. Filtered through the fine mesh of his personal sensibility, a diary emerges in the form of painting or sculpture about loss, time, distance, and even humor. Like a pulse, repetitive painted marks and cuts are measured out and regulate the surface of his works on paper and canvas. They parse time as they depict natural and emotional phenomena such as leaves, snowflakes, raindrops, tears and wounds. In some cases this imagery forms the background in a shallow space gently overlaid or interwoven with other economically coded images. In the large scale canvas wall hangings (roughly 7' x 14') these obsessive markings are often the only imagery. The scale of these large works seems to suggest that through sheer size, they might bridge the painful space and time between Chicago and Bangkok. In fact, an exhibition of Adi's in Chicago in 2007 was titled Bangkok-Chicago, in which medium-sized sculptures and large canvases engaged all aspects of the space (floors, ceilings, walls), punctuating it at intermittent intervals with Romantic reminders about distance and time. The sculptures (both older and new) share similar messages, economy, and crypticness with the two dimensional works, but their "objectness" and their conversion from everyday materials (leather, wood, plastic, metal, rubber foam, paper, sponges, steel, rope, screws and nails) to powerfully articulate assemblages cause them to function more like proxies for real life situations and emotional states. The titles in Adi's work are extensions of the work itself, verbally annotating and giving voice to his eastern-accented visual vocabulary with phrases that could be western song lyrics. They express regret, loneliness, love, absence. Some titles like Only the lonely (2008) actually are song titles. Pronouns, likeme, you, I, and we, reinforce the poignant imagery of personal relationships, as in one new sculpture I wish you can come home with me, a title whose ambiguity about the identity of you, me, and home aptly describes a complex triangular relationship that could as easily apply to the artist and his relationship with the world.

I love this time of year! Cookouts are one of my favorite entertaining options. I like to have lots of sides using the abundant fresh produce available right now. And whether you eat inside or dine al fresco, the food tastes better cooked on a grill. Here are some of my favorite things to bring to a barbecue. I'll be adding links throughout the summer. Have a great Memorial Day! I made this giant cookie cake for the sweet son of a dear friend. He wanted a sugar cookie cake, so I used this recipe. I lined the rimmed cookie sheet with quick-release foil and pressed the dough in it evenly. I baked it at 350 for 22 minutes - until golden brown. I let it cool in the pan until I could move it to a cutting board. You can substitute any sugar cookie dough you like - just be sure you have enough for 7 dozen cookies (that's what the recipe I used yields, and it filled the cookie sheet perfectly). I used this buttercream recipe and made a double batch. I colored one batch with leaf green color and frosted the whole cookie (I star tipped the sides in white, but you could just use the green for the whole thing). I also pressed sparkling sugar into the frosting to give it that shiny turf look. Then I used a skewer to make 11 lines in the frosting and filled them in with white lines, writing the yard lines on using a very small writing tip. I piped the football freehand in black, and filled it with brown frosting, using the smallest star tip to mimic football dimples (that's what they're called, right?). The birthday boy's initials became the football laces. "Laces OUT!" (what movie?). Tip: Use cocoa powder to make brown frosting - it tastes better and makes a nice dark brown. I should have made fondant goalposts, but I cheated with pipe cleaners in Vanderbilt's colors. This cake would be great for college football season or the Super Bowl - you could make the end zones bigger and write the team names in them. If you wanted a cake, you could just use a 9X13 pan for the cake. I'd probably stack two cakes with frosting in the middle.

Sunday, January 11, 2009 Am I a bad media scholar? Just canceled our lone print newspaper subscription--to the Sunday NY Times. We read a fair bit of it online anyway, plus we just joined Netflix and I wanted to justify the expense by cutting something else out. The media budget is just too big as it is. Sigh. Hastening the demise of print media. I feel so guilty.

Just a quick outfit post. I got Mum to snap these pictures in the parking lot before I headed off to the Doctors today. Can you tell I really have fallen in love with Black Milk lately? I picked these up on the FB Sale page for $30. I love the colours in them, and if you look closely, you can make out that they’re covered in fish!

- bunnybrains records and tapes - now sound - bilge dasto The Bunnybrains have provided such amazing memories for me since the early 90's: seeing them all burst into tears during a set at Under Acme while my friends consoled them and took up instruments, holding Dan Bunny's baby at a WFMU benefit at the Westbeth Theater while the band played an hour longer than the theater's personnel were being paid to be around for (performing in front of a screen showing dog porn films nonetheless, the Westbeth owners were thrilled about that needless to say), Dan breaking my borrowed guitar when my band played with them at the Cooler while their smoke machine belched so much smoke upstairs and out the door to 14th street that the NYFD came, and stayed to watch the set. But maybe the greatest moment was them opening for Hawkwind (!) at Coney Island High. The tiny place already had half the floor taken up by Hawkwind's tons of laser show/light gear, and was also overstuffed with psychedelic hermits just coming out of their homes for the first time since 1977. Many of them dosed, not a good idea during the Bunnybrains' set, lots of people were abusing the 'brains verbally for their ensuing "bad trips" and I saw at least 4 of 'em drop to the floor. Whoa. -Brian Turner WFMU's Beware of the Blog

It took years to go from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4, but it looks like we will see Firefox 6 just month after the fifth iteration of this very popular browser. What use to be known to beta testers as Aurora and had quite different icon has turned into a Firefox 6 beta, and we can report that the current beta works quite well. Our Firefox simply tells us that we still use beta, but there is no sign what kind of beta we are currently using but so far, it works just fine. Firefox 6 beta for Android also made an appearance and it should be starting faster and use less memory, scale larger images more quickly. There is an extended Firefox experience on large screen tablets as well as the fresh visual style on Gingerbread phones. Sharing tabs and bookmarks will now work on a tablet, phone, notebook and a PC works quite well, and this is a nice step forward to have all you need at all your devices. It's free so it doesn’t cost a thing to give it a try, as long as you have free wifi or plenty of 3G / 4G data available on your plan.

Je bekijkt de reis... Reisverslag Sybille Klenzendorf 29 mei 2014 Thanks for your hard work in the last 4 years to get WWFs work to conserve polar bears from a Smörgåsbordof projects to a comprehensive program. It has been a great honor and pleasure working with you! I was supposed to write 3 things that I will miss about you but I realized I won’t miss them because: 1. I will frequently call to mine your deep knowledge about the arctic and all things polar bears 2. A great travel companion around meetings (we will just have to come visit you and travel around Yellowstone!) 3. Your passion for the Arctic – since we will benefit from that as a close PBI partner. Take care and safe travels to MT.

Once a source of national leaders of both political parties, New York state has descended into a bizarre, riveting spectacle of corruption and political debasement, with its governor facing calls to resign as well as new charges of accepting illicit perks and lying under oath, the dean of its congressional delegation giving up his gavel over corruption charges and another House member announcing he won’t run again amid allegations of sexual harassment. And that was just yesterday. The latest, dizzying episodes of political disgrace in New York follow a half-decade of disaster during which three top state politicians were forced out amid allegations of everything from large-scale theft to small-scale sexual indiscretions. And while Republican leaders have drawn their share of blame (and indictments), New York is now effectively a one-party state. Its current scandals attach themselves to the dominant Democrats, and the riveting soap opera is feeding a narrative of corruption that threatens to deepen the party’s national woes and distract from the White House’s attempt to refocus the country on health care. And it also hastens a decades-long diminution of the state’s 20th-century pre-eminence, a rise powered by the reform-driven Roosevelt presidencies. Still, all of the scandals help to keep the public’s mind off of the flat, moribund economies of both New York City and New York State. The American left’s goal is transform America into a version of post-World War II Europe, and the parentheses states of New York and California (as Tom Wolfe once dubbed them) are perfect examples of how all of that is playing out.

Tired of not having enough sales? When it comes to sales promotion, tell me…. How great would you feel if you could see an immediate result i.e. an increase in sales by applying 1 simple tweak to your business? I know it’s a silly question but humour me. It’d feel great, wouldn’t it? Well If you want to see an increase in sales from your sales promotion you’ve got to get an edge on your competition. And, to create a truly competitive advantage you’ve got to understand 3 things inside out, namely: - Your market - Your competition - Your offerings But, there’s 1 more thing you need in addition to these 3 things AND it’s vital. This is what I’m going to be going through today. Now just to warn you, this is a video I was going to use for the How to Succeed in Business blog. However, I decided against it as I knew that there was too much to say and that’s why it refers to business as usual. 😉 Moving on to the next stage So you’ve watched the video and now you’re shaping up quite well. You’re saying, “We‘ve got a great service portfolio, fair prices, flexible lead times, superb customer service, and an informative website with up-to-date research and thought leadership.” And, you’re wondering whether you’re now going to be inundated with calls or emails from ready buyers. The answer, in a word, is…. Why? Sadly they won’t believe you. Without proof, you’re only going to sound like a lame marketer or rookie sales person. Being the best isn’t enough. Being perceived as being the best isn’t enough. Your buyers need to believe you’re the best option for them. If you don’t prove your claims, your buyers are unlikely to really believe them. And, as a consequence your value proposition, which is essential for your sales promotion becomes about as useful as a chocolate fire guard. So what’s to be done? Several things. For starters, you can use social proof. This will go a long way to substantiate your claims. Basecamp uses social proof to validate their main claim of being the “World’s #1 Project Management App.” They use an image (as we all think and remember in pictures), plus 2 specific numbers to make the claim believable (“285,000 companies” and “2,000 projects”). Now I’m sure you’ll admit that this looks good, but if you want to see an increase in sales I’ve got to tell you that impressive numbers don’t always work. Numbers can prove how popular you are, but when you’re positioning yourself as a “trusted advisor and expert,” saying, “1,000 people consider me an expert” won’t work. You need something else. And, this is where testimonials and case studies (or success stories) come in. A few well placed testimonials and case studies (on your website and social platforms) from those with influence in your market make the claim credible. They can even take away the need for you to make any claims yourself. For example, instead of me telling you how wonderful my company is, I get others (my clients) to do this for me. Here’s an example of what I did for my last company. I used one of our clients – a sought after FTSE 100, William Hill, to make the claim alongside mine. The claim had added weight as testimonials in this particular sector were almost as rare for obtaining as finding a needle in a haystack. You can craft them so that they take away the last doubt people might feel about your promises. Just include a statement that answers the doubt. I teach you how to do all of this in the courses and consulting I offer. Now I want to hear from you… Tell me what your thoughts are on sales promotion. Do you have any great tips? Please share your stories and experience here, and if you’ve got a question, just pop it down here. Thanks for being a sport and participating! With love and gratitude – as always, Finally, if you know someone who’d LOVE the insight from this sales promotion post, please send them a link. You’ll find solo entrepreneurs, consultants and yes, even sales and marketing managers who manage people who’ll be interested to hear about this.

22 September: Plum-pie This is going to be the end of plum season for me, I am about to lose interest in plums. Our biblestudy-group is serving coffee and cakes at church tomorrow. after dinner I have spent until 23:15 to make two plum/apple pies. First I made a small brick-size test-pie. Whicht he guys approved. The pie ended up with a traditional top design. 21 September: Et lite stykke kake The pies tasted really good, but not that good, that they scraped the bottom of the tin. Norway is not big on pie. Therefore, my hypothesis is that the dear norwegian people in church today felt very skeptic about the dark-red juicy plums under the crossing strips of butter-dough. I should have stuck a small Norwegian flag in it and a note that says: «Home-made with hand-picked Norwegian fruit».

Sometimes, I find myself a loss for words. I know, I know it's hard to believe. Always being the talkative one in my family and always the student who continually talked in school and was berated by the Sisters for not paying attention. Somehow I think those reprimands did something to my mind. I find myself paying attention to EVERYTHING now, even the most curious things. Like...Why it is that as we age, we women, end up in our late 50's and 60's with a tummy on us reminiscent of our fifth month of pregnancy that is attached to skinny bird legs? It's true...just take a look around you! Why is it I am still attracted to fashion styles that only a 20 to 30 "something girl" can wear and STILL want to try them on only to shake my head and think..."What ever was I thinkin". Why is it when I look into the mirror every morning I wonder where my soft, smooth, and wrinkle free skin went? Sigh...No more Cover Girl. Why is it when I try to read the small print on packages, or instructions I need a magnifying glass or my reading glasses to see? (Reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood..."Grandma what big eyes you have". "The better to see you with my dear". Why is it we are NEVER ready for "grannie panties" BUT end up wearing them because they have more material that can cover the excess poundage that somehow ended up there?? Sisters did me a disservice. If I had not been reprimanded for talking perhaps I would not have started paying attention to things that I never thought of thinking about.... But do now.

Nick Valenti and Patina Restaurant Group debut two exciting new dining destinations at one below at Macy’s Herald Square this holiday season, following the success of Stella 34 Trattoria. Rowland’s Bar and Grill will serve modern American gastropub cuisine in an atmosphere inspired by turn of the century New York. Named for Macy’s founder Rowland Hussey (R.H.) Macy, the restaurant builds upon his magnanimous character. R.H. Macy was born on Nantucket, and Rowland’s pays tribute to that heritage with seafood specialties including Smoked Fish Chowder and Sea Bream with Parsley Salsa Verde. Also featured is American fare popular in New York since the 1850s, when Macy moved to the city and established his dry goods business. Chef Street brings the popular food truck trend indoors, with four chef-driven, fast-casual dining concepts within Airstream-style trailers: Taquitoria, Crumb on Parchment, Tabo Noodles, and Rollie’s. The striking space, where cooks in each trailer prepare the food fresh to order, evokes a modern vintage style.

By Abby Hassler All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth recently took to social media to express his solidarity with fellow musician Harry Styles, regarding Styles’ recent comments about young women as music fans. During a Rolling Stone interview, the reporter quizzed Styles’ about his younger fan base from his work with One Direction. “Who’s to say that young girls who like pop music — short for popular, right? — have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy?” the 23-year-year old responded. Journalist Katherine Speller posted the excerpt online, with the caption, “My kink is Harry Styles respecting teen girls and their pure unironic enjoyment of things, thank u.” Gaskarth reposted Speller’s post about Styles’ comments, writing “He nailed it.” In a follow-up tweet, the singer wrote, “Been asked questions like this before: Do we worry that some of our fanbase is young, etc. as if it carries some kind of negative connotation.” “Young or old, fans are fans! Just shows that we all enjoy the same sound. Kudos to young people who have good taste in music!” wrote one fan. “100% Gaskarth responded. “All about enjoying a tune. Nothing else matters. :)” Check out the posts below.

I love thinking about our courtship, and the 5 or 6 months leading up to this most perfect day. The first night I met Brett, he asked me about my testimony. That set the tone and resulting foundation for our relationship. Ten years later, he still talks to me about my testimony, and shares his with me. He's an amazing man, husband and father. Those of you who had ten years in the pot, lost. Pretty sure we're going to make it to Eternity. So, ten years later we... Have 4 kids. I can't imagine my life without our kids. Seriously, it's difficult to remember even not having Kian around. I truly believe that families were in the pre-existence. It feels as if we're that much more complete, now. Like we've been waiting around for them, and now they're here. We live in Arizona now!! I love that we made the hard decision to move: it's made a huge difference. We're more of a nuclear family than ever before, and that's important to me and Brett. Ten years seems both like a long time, and not very much time at all. Really, in the scheme of things, it's not that long. But it's the longest commitment I've ever had! My life really was in a waiting period until I got to marry him. He's taught me so much. There isn't a day that I'm not truly humbled and so grateful that he chose me to be his wife. I know exactly how uniquely special I am that he picked me. Happy ten years to my favorite man. I love you more than I can say!

While speaking with the folks from Scalix this afternoon, I happened to reiterate a point I’ve been discussing more and more of late: the programmability of the Open Document Format (ODF). The context for mentioning it was the fact that Scalix has the ability to dynamically transform certain types of documents – RTF in the example I saw – on the fly to other formats depending on how and where they are viewed. It’s precisely that type of transform that’s being lost in the shuffle, in my opinion, in the fascination with the politics behind the State of Massachusetts’ decision to mandate ODF as a standard. What’s brand new with the advent of the ODF and its Microsoft counterpart the Office Open XML Formats are the implications vis a vis the ability to manipulate documents programmatically. With the advent of these formats, we could see the advent of far more intelligent messaging, workflow, etc systems because they’ll have the ability to deconstruct these documents at very granular levels. To many of you, no doubt, that’s just a bunch of meaningless technical babble, so here’s an example that may make it more real: you know how organizations have been bitten in the past by sending out documents that, unbeknownst to them, included all sorts of unflattering or embarrassing comments and markup? With the previous generation of binary office formats, there wasn’t too much you could do because the documents were opaque to any application besides the ones that produced it. The new XML based formats, on the other hand, are essentially zip containers with a bunch of XML components in them. What if before you emailed someone external to the system, the messaging server could deconstruct the document into various pieces, remove any comments or markup, then reconstruct the document without touching the content? That’s what the kind of document manipulation made possible by the transition from binary to XML formats. That’s just one example, of course; there are likely hundreds if not thousands of other such scenarios buried within corporate workflow and routing procedures. This is, in part, what ODF advocates such as Gary Edwards and Sam Hiser mean when they talk about the format as a “Universal Transformation Layer.” What’s been interesting, however, is that in the probably half a dozen conversations I’ve had with messaging/worklow/etc providers over the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard a lot of enthusiasm for the ODF itself, but little in the way of plans – NDA or otherwise – to fully leverage the XML nature of the format. Sooner rather than later, however, I expect one or more of the messaging/workflow/etc providers to actively embrace the ODF – and it would be foolish to believe that Microsoft doesn’t have plans in this regard for its MSXML format. The interesting question for many vendors will be – how might the new XML formats overlap – or not – with electronic forms? Either way, we should expect to see a lot more pieces like this. While the promised longevity of XML based documents may be exciting to governments and libraries, developers are likely to be far more interested in what the formats allow them to do now that they couldn’t do before than whether or not the document’s will be readable in 50 years. Fortunately for them, the implications of the new formats are profound. The term is used here in both the figurative and literal senses. One commenter I spoke with the other day suggested that the ODF might play a role in the much anticipated bid for the Presidency by current MA Governor Mitt Romney.

CROAKED 1st draft, for demo purposes: This is a first draft, so it’s real bad. Straight from brain to typewriter; you know how that goes. Only changes here involved some spelling. Consider yourselves lucky. No one ever sees my first drafts and lives. This is loosely based on a prank my crazy cousins have been playing on each other for years. Maybe they shouldn’t read this. Locusts (Chapter 1, scene 1) The locusts are here. Elizabeth Vogt Majeski couldn’t help but giggle. Sure, the mood was somber, but she couldn’t help stifling that giggle with her hand. This was just so surreal. Not the first time. Elizabeth, called Liz by everyone except her freshly-deceased mother, had a problem about laughing at inappropriate moments. She congratulated herself on keeping a poker face during her mom’s funeral. But now? She counted 19 relatives of every kind in the lawyer’s office. She knew six of them pretty well. Her sister Doreen and her husband Leon Welch. Their 16-year old daughter Lorie. Their 12-year-old son Rodney, and her own husband Stan. And herself. A couple of cousins she knew as a kid. The rest were total strangers. All had their hands out, hoping for the jackpot. At least a chunk of Mom’s estate anyway. Not a Forbes-sized estate, but a decent one. Liz knew it was in the low seven figures; she helped manage it when Sarah Novak Vogt descended into the Zenlike world of Alzheimers. Except for her own family and her sister’s, no one bothered to show up when Mom was so sick. That alone should disqualify them, she thought, but it was Mom’s money. Let her get crazy with it. Liz wasn’t exactly hurting. Stan’s bar did pretty well in the last five years, and he had his pension from the city. Liz ran the place when he was on the road some weekends playing bass with his Americana band all over California. She also had an online music sales business, and she wrote some fiction. The music site was moderately successful, and she hoped the writing could get out of nonprofit status eventually. She’d already struck her gold. Stan was as honest as they got, a hard worker who lifted himself from the hardly-working class on his own. She wished she’d met him 15 years earlier. Doreen sat to her right, intensity radiating off her. Older at 44, she struck her gold much earlier, while Liz was still with Husband #1. What a sorry bastard he turned out to be, and Husband #2 wasn’t much better. They ceased to have names, just numbers like the Halloween slasher movies. Oh well. Third time’s a charm, she thought as she gripped Husband #3’s hand. Doreen’s husband made it to law school on his parents’ dime, and became an accomplished trial attorney. Meaning mass torts, the kind that prints money on the screw-everybody-except-the-lawyers work. Doreen ran the office and acted as his part-time paralegal. Could have a worse sibling, Liz thought. they had their differences years ago when she was trying to raise the bar on stupid. They made their peace after she married Stan, and they now lived in Fontana less than two miles apart. They got together for lunch every Sunday. “Who are these people?” Liz mouthed. ” That’s your Uncle Frank and Aunt Nadine.” “The ones who smelled like formaldehyde?” “That’s them.” She recited the list of names. As curator of family lore, she knew all of them by sight. Elizabeth nodded toward Uncle Vernon, who sat by himself. The one with unbarbered gray hair and messy beard. He could make even the best suit look like it had been wadded up for years. “Uncle Unabomber. Are you sure he’s sane?” “He’s just … different.” “Okay. I know different.” The family trust was easy. Everything prewritten, and didn’t have to go through probate. Each sibling got more than a million, mostly tied up in growth investments that netted something like 12 percent. They got joint ownership of the house, and they already agred to sell the 80-year-old monstrosity if someone was dumb enough to buy it. Doreen got Mom’s jewelry, which included her wedding band and two-carat engagement ring. The former was original equipment; the later a 50th anniversary gift. She also got half the furniture and all the art. Liz got the music collection, which was what she really wanted. Pretty soon the lawyer got to the white-elephant part of the show, and Liz couldn’t stop giggling again. He sounded like a game show host. Would you like curtain number one, curtain number two, or curtain number three? Liz groaned inwardly when she and Stan were awarded the grandfather clock. Sure it was from the 18th Century and in pristine condition, but still. The clock didn’t run any more; Liz saw to that. She disabled it 30 years ago because it struck out the hour, loudly enough to drown out a heavy-metal concert. “I hope I don’t get that frog,” Liz mouthed to Doreen. “I mean it’s gawdawful ugly.” “You should get it,” Doreen said. “It’ll look great in your living room.” “Right.” The frog, about two feet tall, sat crouched in Mom’s house for as long as she could remember. It gave her the creeps when she was six, and she tried to avoid it. Her sister was scared of it. She had no idea how old the thing was, but it had been around a while. Carved by a drunken stone mason, this had eyes of — not rubies, but some sort of red stones. Maybe agate or garnet, she thought. No wonder it freaked her out. “Remember how that thing used to scare me?” Doreen whispered. “I remember. You always thought it would come to life and eat you while you slept.” “It still freaks me out.” “You know, your brave sister had to throw a towel over it sometimes.” “I remember. It was those eyes.” “Remember when you found it in your closet and screamed?” Liz asked. “It was great.” “You turd. Did you put it there?” “I’ll take the Fifth.” “Well, you can have it,” Doreen insisted. “You know you want it.” A few more items sent out to various family members, and the lawyer looked at his list again. “Elizabeth Vogt Majeski gets the frog statue,” the lawyer announced. Now he sounded like he was calling out Powerball numbers. “Neat-O” Liz mouthed to her sister.

History is repeating itself again. As has happened many times throughout history, one merchant takes a chance with a new idea while other merchants sit on the sidelines and watch to find out if the idea will work before they get on board. Clearly customers jumped on board with this concept because more retailers are offering this service. This tip might not be for everyone; however, it’s worth looking into this option. Another way to increase your savings is by ordering at least some of your groceries online and then picking them up at the store. You realize additional savings by logging into a cash back or rewards program that networks with the supermarkets and grocery stores that you use. Below are some examples of merchants that tried something new while their competitors waited and watched to find out if the new idea would work before they jumped on the bandwagon: - Precursor to mail in rebates: In 1851 when the B. A. Babbitt Company initiated the first marketing technique that was intended to capture the attention of other businesses (encouraged women to mail box tops and wrappers of their soap in exchange for a picture of flowers). - Precursor to coupons: In 1872, the Grand Union Tea Company was the first to issue cardboard tickets to customers at Grand Union stores, which were redeemed for merchandise in their catalog. - Precursor to coupons: In 1886, Asa Griggs Candler, a pharmacist who purchased the formula for Coca-Cola, provided handwritten tickets for a free glass of the fountain beverage to encourage customers to try the new product. - Precursor to trading stamps: In 1891, The Schuster and Company Department Store invented the first marketing system of using trading stamps to encourage customers to repeatedly return. Customers received trading stamps with every purchase that they could accumulate and redeem later for products. - Precursor to loyalty programs: In 1911 Esso Gasoline gave customers a full color scenic placemat for 19 cents with an 8-gallon fill up. By the way, Esso was a phonetic acronym of Standard Oil: “S” and “O” from Standard Oil (eSsO). - Precursor to today’s supermarkets: In 1916: Clarence Saunders revolutionized the grocery industry when he opened the first self-service grocery store called Piggly Wiggly, where every item in the establishment had a price on it and customers got the products themselves rather than giving their grocery list to the grocery store clerk and the clerk gathered all the items. All the other local grocers waited, fully expecting Piggly Wiggly to fail and they continued serving customers themselves, as was customary at that time. It was only when their customers gravitated to Piggly Wiggly so they could serve themselves that the other grocers rushed to do the same thing. Fast Forward to Today Have you noticed that some stores have new “drive through” sections of their stores/parking lots? The idea is to let consumers order online and then go to the store to pick up their order. Clearly this new technique is being well received by consumers because I am noticing more supermarkets and drugstores have added “drive-through” windows to their stores. Many items are also cheaper when ordered online. And, for anyone who takes advantage of online ordering, this is another way to stack savings. You only need to sign into a cash back or rewards program that you belong to and then enter the supermarket or retailer from where you want to order items. Add another layer to increase your savings and pay with a credit card that offers additional rewards points for purchasing groceries. For example, Barclay Card pays double points for purchases made at grocery stores. They want you to use their credit card for everyday purchases rather than just big-ticket items. This works to your advantage when you pay the credit card charges accrued each month in full. When you do that, you earn the double rewards points and you also avoid paying interest fees. Another trick that retailers are using is to encourage people to set up a reorder, or auto-ship, program. If you sign up for the program, the retailer reduces the cost of the product a little more and the retailer automatically ships the same product to you periodically. If you use a product frequently, this program might work for you. I prefer to avoid the auto-ship programs because I would lose the opportunity to log into a cash back or rewards program to get those items. Consumers drive change: If you find this opportunity appealing; however, the stores that you frequent have not yet added drive-through options, inquire at the Customer Service counter. Let them know that their store is one of your favorites and you would be happier if they offered the same drive-through option. Personally, I love this idea because I get many, many free gift cards and cash back checks by using my Online Purchasing Combination Techniques. Other Ways to Get Rewards Points and Cash Back There are a variety of ways to increase your savings even more. Select the programs that you like the best and earn the rewards or cash back using their instructions when you go shopping. Some programs can be used in connection with other methods that you use to save money or earn rewards. Below are just a few suggestions to get you thinking. You can use a search engine to find more rewards/cash back programs. Some programs offer different perks and methods of accumulating rewards or cash back. Therefore, before I go shopping, I decide which of the programs I will use. - mPlus Rewards: is rewards program that provides you with points when you “check in” to a variety of movie theaters, coffee shops, shopping centers, and a host of other retail stores. You can “check in” to up to 15 different locations within a 24-hour period. Rewards can be redeemed for gift cards and a variety of other things. The mPlus Rewards program for collecting and redeeming rewards is free. You can also buy a paid version of their app. - ibotta: is a cash back program. ibotta deposits rebate cash back directly to your ibotta account and when you reach their minimum threshold, you can withdraw the cash. You simply register with ibotta, select your favorite stores from their huge list of retailers (supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, clothing retailers, etc), before you go shopping, select rebates of interest to you from current list of rebates being offered, and go shopping – just as you normally would. If you get any items from the rebates that you selected, ibotta deposits the cash back directly to your ibotta account (you can link your ibotta account to a PayPal or Venmo account). When your cash back reaches the minimum amount of $20, you can withdraw the cash from your PayPal or Venmo account or choose a gift card. - Checkout 51: This is a grocery app that lets you earn cash back when you buy grocery items from their current list of offers. Offers change every week on Thursdays and end on Wednesday of the following week. Cashout 51 can be used with other programs. You can also use manufacturers’ coupons. How it works: the same as some of the other apps: download the app, select and buy, upload your receipt, select the claims, earn cash back when your cash back total reaches $20. You can continue building your cash back amount; however, when you cash out, you must cash out the entire balance and then start earning cash back again. - Walmart Savings Catcher: Scan your Walmart receipt. They compare prices for competitors in your area for the same products that match eligible items on your receipt. If they find a lower advertised price, Walmart deposits the difference to a Walmart eGift card or Bluebird Card. - mobiSave: Another grocery store app. Shop at any store that provides an itemized receipt and offers the products from their list of offers. Their offers are extremely limited; however, the perk is they instantly deposit your savings to your PayPal account and there is no minimum before they pay out. - SavingStar: Select the stores that you use most from their list of stores. Check out their current offers and activate the offers that you may use. Go shopping. If you buy any of the items that you selected, SavingStar will provide the cash back. If the store requires a photo of the receipt, you can submit it that way. If the stores you select are connected to a loyalty card, SavingStar is notified by the store with the loyalty program and your account is credited for items that you purchased. When you accumulate $5 worth of savings, you can choose the type of payout you want: cash out to a bank account, PayPal, Upromise account, Starbucks gift code, iTunes gift code, or AMC Theatres gift code. - Kellogg’s Family Rewards Program: If you use Kellogg’s brands, you can get rewarded. You can connect your loyalty cards from different supermarkets, or take a photo of receipts to prove that you purchased the item(s) and either text the photo(s), email it(them), or mail it (them) via snail mail. Kellogg’s has many brands. Rewards are available in a variety of amounts. When your rewards accumulate to the amount of the rewards category you want, simply order the item by placing it in your shopping cart. Kellogg’s will process the reward and get it to you. Rewards are in a variety of categories: apparel & gear, books, coupons, donations to schools & charities, electronics, housewares & kitchens, magazines, music, gift cards and discounts, toys & games, and more. - $lickdeals: is different. You do not get cash back or rewards. Slickdeals members find and share deals and coupons for a wide variety of products and retailers. The reason that slickdeals is listed here is they have a grocery section. Their community (millions of members) votes and offers helpful feedback on the best deals. The collaboration of the community and deal editors guarantees the best prices around and makes Slickdeals the best deal site on the Web. You simply register and then download their app. Stack Your Savings: In addition to all of the other steps in this 10-Step Supermarket Combination Technique, complete one or more of the following: - Remember to “check in” at stores that will be in the area of the supermarkets, butcher, etc. Since you will be out and about anyway, why not capitalize on it? - Download apps that provide the kinds of perks that you like right now so that you begin saving whether it is by getting cash back, earning rewards points, or having money automatically deposited into your PayPal account if you shop at Walmart and other stores sell the same product for less than at Walmart - Activate potential rebates and cash back items that are on your grocery list - Order some of your grocery list items online and then go to pick up your order at that store - Remember to pay the right way so that you accumulate even more rewards TAKE ACTION: Read “How it Works” on some of the rewards and cash back programs listed above. If earning rewards and cash back for any of the programs fits your lifestyle, register with those programs. Add that note to your own checklist so you remember to activate rebates before you go shopping. Take a photo of the receipts and return to the program within the allotted time so that you get the cash back or rewards points.

History of Sculpture in British Columbia Vancouver citizens interested in art formed four art societies by the turn of the century. Two members, J. Murray and D. Campbell were woodworkers and F.W. Caulfield listed himself as a wood carver. In 1890, the provincial government commissioned a courthouse and British Columbia’s first free standing sculpture. Legislative buildings in Victoria put the call out for sculpture and Frank Cizek, a tinsmith executed the Captain Vancouver monument. The buildings in Victoria began to be embellished with sculpture and other forms of artwork. In the Vancouver boom around the turn of the century, itinerant stonemasons working from catalogues and architectural drawings decorated many of the new granite office buildings. The Studio Club formed in 1904 and it was with this society that Vancouver and British Columbia’s first resident professional sculptor exhibited. Charles Marega arrived in 1909 on his way to California, read an ad for a commission for sculpture and stayed on in Vancouver. When the Studio Club eroded, Marega helped start up the Palette and Chisel Club in 1926. At that time, Marega was listed as the only sculptor exhibiting. In the 1930s other sculptors joined him on the exhibitions listings. The Vancouver Art Gallery opened in 1931 and from its inception and through to the 1960s the sculptors of BC were showcased and had a number of outstanding exhibitions, some of which toured internationally. In 1941, the Canadian Federation of Artists (FCA) was organized in Ontario. Later in the 1940s, a BC Region of the Federation was a functioning society, which included sculptors. However, by the 1970s the Federation was primarily made up of painters. In 1956 a group of sculptors formed the North West Institute of Sculptors (NWIS) in Vancouver. This organization eventually merged with the Sculptors’ Society of Canada (SSC) Eventually the members in British Columbia formed their own society independent of the SSC and during 1974 the Sculptors’ Society of British Columbia was born. Over the past decades, SSBC members have contributed monumental sculpture both provincially and throughout the world. Large exhibitions have been held in BC, which have travelled throughout Canada, the USA and Europe. In the early development of Granville Island in Vancouver, the government acknowledged the SSBC’s cultural contributions by leasing office and studio space to the Society. Throughout the Sculptors Society of British Columbia’s history, there has been a high standard of excellence, integrity and professionalism amongst the membership. Public education about sculpture and sculptors continues to be an important focus for the group. Sculptors in our province have always been a diverse group utilizing techniques from realism or impressionism to abstraction and beyond. As well, our sculptors continue to experiment with new materials as well as more traditional media.

|'kitchen table, boerenbont ...'| Thanks to social media I have learned that October in INKTOBER ... "31 Days 31 Drawings.Every October artists all over the world take on the INKtober drawing challenge and do one ink drawing a day the entire month." inktober.com |index card from #ICAD2015| Now if you have followed me for any amount of time you will know that I adore 'challenges', daily assignments, & all this participatory :) and I LOVE working in ink!! However this past week I have made an commitment to myself to not spread myself, to practice focusing on the task at hand; Enter compromise ... So I am not making a commitment to inktober, posting everyday! though I'm sure you may see a new ink drawing here or there.) Also there will be posts, like today, that deal with ink drawings .... compromise?!?! I'm not sure, I do KNOW that I am jonesing to find my pen and start drawing, but alas, taxes are calling :( So on to the other inky news: 'once more with feeling ...' |'phases of the moon ...' subscription card series| This weekend I once again applied for a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Grant, this time in the drawing category. I first considered submitting my "subscription card" series, especially as grant committees are mostly looking for the unusual, the unique, something different and usually cutting edge. However as I was complying the subscription cards that I was going to submit to the MCC, I was also pulling together some of my "kitchen table" series to decide which drawing to donate to the Attleboro Arts Museum's benefit auction. When I had both series in front of me, and even though I believe the subscription cards are a more unique series, I ended up submitting drawings from my "kitchen table" series, because these drawings really represent a quality of life that I wish to celebrate. Below are the images and a brief description that I submitted .... |kitchen table I| |kitchen table II| |kitchen table III| " These drawings are part of the ‘kitchen table’ series. This body of work is a celebration of the beauty and simplicity of everyday life. Rendered mostly in pen and ink, these drawings are a return to basics; to line, to expressive marks, to black and white, dark and light. A discovery of the wonders revealed from what remains on a kitchen table. " |kitchen table IV| |kitchen table V| happy monday & peace, va

Thinking of heading to Vietnam soon? We just spent an amazing week in Hoi An, a city in the central coast known for its rich history and French-influenced culture. If you’re the sort of traveller that can truly appreciate architecture, and Asian food (that’s nothing like the Vietnamese food you find elsewhere!), Hoi An should be your next stop. #1 Do Good, Eat Good Right Here: We heard about a great little place called Streets Restaurant at Le Loi Street, set up to help better the lives of children and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam. Part of the program they have at Streets is a social training platform for youths, so they can apply hands-on everything they’re learning in their classes. All revenue from the restaurant goes towards supporting the initiative. Order the Hoi An Tasting Menu that comes highly recommended by the staff, which offers a menu of Hoi An’s very best flavours. #2 Book a Few Nights at Anantara Hoi An Resort This family-friendly boutique hotel was perfect for us, despite travelling without kids. Offering great value from just USD 145, you can take boat trips on the Thu Bon River and join in on their daily yoga classes. Our favourite part were the complimentary bikes. With those, you can ride around the ancient town which is open only to pedestrians and bikes. Check out the many shops and tourist attractions such as the Japanese Covered Bridge and old houses. #3 Tailor Make Anything You Want to Wear You might have heard whispers about Vietnam’s amazing tailoring services — any designer-inspired threads for much, much less. So we tried it out, and within 24 hours left with six shirts and trousers for USD 300, and a bag (all we did was show them a picture on our phone of the one we wanted) for USD 140. We went to Yaly Couture, which is slightly more costly than other shops around, but you can’t argue with the quality we got! #4 Rent a Bike and Take in the Sights From Hoi An, take a leisurely bike ride North, for a wind-blowing-in-your-hair trip through rice fields, mini canals and up to the China Beach strip. It’s a good day trip we’d recommend to anyone, but you also want to be very careful on the main roads. #5 Dine at the Most Popular Restaurant in Town Dinner at Morning Glory was excellent! Most restaurants have a similar design — colonial-style buildings with great arches — but you’ll know you’ve reached your destination when you see a dim-lit cafe full of people. Staff are attentive to all diners and will be sure to seat you as soon as they can. If you’ve already had a taste for Vietnamese street food, this is a great place to sample more of that in a relaxing setting. #6 Don’t Leave till You Try This: Banh Mi; basically a Vietnamese sandwich with deli meats and flavourful herbs like basil, mint and coriander. The word ‘Banh’ comes from the French baguete, introduced to locals during the colonial period. We had our taste at Banh Mi Phuong, voted one of the best by Anthony Bourdain himself. At about a dollar, it’s worth packing some back to your hotel for a late night snack.

FLEETWOOD Town seem to have had nothing but happy days in recent months, but yesterday was an unhappy one which manager Micky Mellon admits he had been dreading. Town yesterday released nine members of their Conference title-winning squad as they set about rebuilding for the Football League. Sean Clancy, Jack Duggan, Paul Edwards, Matt Flynn, Matt Hughes, Paul Linwood, Gareth Seddon, Dave Stevenson and Magno Vieira were all told that their Highbury contracts would not be renewed, while striker Richard Brodie has returned to Crawley Town after his season-long loan. Mellon met all the players individually yesterday, then told The Gazette: “It’s the day every manager dreads. It is never easy and it takes about six hours but you have to be professional. “It’s very difficult because you get an emotional attachment to players, but this is the business we are in and people move on. We have done everything properly and the players leaving us know they will always be welcome back at Fleetwood Town.” Of the nine, striker Gareth Seddon probably played the biggest part in Town’s rise to the Football League, winning promotion in two of his three seasons at the club. He appeared in 38 of last season’s 46 league games and scored eight times. Mellon said: “It is particularly difficult to say goodbye to someone like Gareth, who has been through so much with us, but we feel we have to move the football club on and try to take it to the next level, and that means freshening up the group. “Gareth is a smashing lad who did very well for us. They call us big-spending Fleetwood but Gareth cost nothing and was a joy to work with.” After a sensational first season at Town, in which he was top scorer with 22 league goals, Brazilian Vieira has struggled to hold down a place this term and his imminent move to Forest Green became public knowledge last week. Mellon anticipates no other summer departures, with one possible high-profile exception. The manager added: “The situation with Jamie Vardy is ongoing and we are still talking. “We have options on all the other out-of-contract players and they will be re-engaged.”

Despite divine assurances that this lengthy retreat would do me good, it was with some apprehension that I settled into the room 212 that would be my home for thirty five days. Air Asia had flown me into Chiang Mai, Thailand, at about eleven plus, and I was glad to be at the Seven Fountains retreat centre before midnight. All the rooms in the block had been renovated with attached bathrooms and I was the first guest to enjoy it. When I awoke the next day, a beautiful balcony view welcomed me. A huge raintree and a flame of the forest spread their gracious branches to hug me. Energetic squirrels, mynahs and butterflies looked for breakfast. This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Together with others on a journey The last meeting I had with David Townsend was in November 2010. He was directing my ten day retreat. My apprehension still lingered as we caught up with developments in the centre and what’s been happening with me. He gave me a well known passage to meditate on. It’s about God’s care for us and our value in his eyes being much more than birds and lilies. Another passage from Psalms said, My meditation of Him shall be sweet, and that was the word that dissolved my apprehension. Later in the day, I bumped into the other two retreatants, Gregory Chan and Peter Anthoney, both Malaysians and final year seminarians. Over time a bond would develop amongst us, despite the solitude and silence, for we were going through a similar retreat program. Many wonder how people can be in prayer, solitude and silence for many weeks. Most cannot keep silent for even a day. I too wondered. Thus my early twofold anxiety: Will I be able to bear the lengthy solitude? Will it bring about the rejuvenation of a burnout pastor? Will the Lord accomplish his gracious restoration work? Momentum of prayer The schedule of each day was rhythmic. Three to five periods of an hour or more each were set apart for meditation, prayer and journaling. Meditation was mainly on Gospel passages and a few other contemplative exercises. The daily 40 minute morning meeting with David, my spiritual director, would be followed by one period; after lunch there would be two periods; and after dinner, one period. Meals were at 7am, 12 noon, and 6.30pm. Filling in were the naps, the jogs and walks, reading Men in White, a book about Singapore’s ruling party, enjoying nature at the grounds and at the Huay Khaew reservoir. The mind and heart were gently and imperceptibly led into a momentum of prayer that gave me a sense of progress, and gave me a booster when I hit the wall. Weekends were welcome as they seem to give a feeling of lightness and change. There were the Sunday services in Thai and English in the chapel of the retreat center. It was different from the weekdays: more people both expatriate and Thai could be seen on the grounds. The food was sometimes very special or way below par. The streets and Chiang Mai university seemed empty and sluggish. It felt less intense during the weekends. School of discipleship, prayer and discernment How would I personally describe the retreat program? It was a school of discipleship, prayer and discernment. God’s love was revealed through creation and redemption. This love was magnified as it was contrasted with human sins and weaknesses disfiguring all of creation. The meditations and prayer covered creation and fall, incarnation, the life and ministry of Jesus, the passion week, the resurrection appearances, the ascension, the coming again and Pentecost. A persistent focus was on seeing Jesus more clearly, loving Him more dearly, and following Him more nearly. At several points in the retreat the challenge of discipleship came to the foreground: as you have viewed and experienced God’s vast love in meditation and prayer, what is your response? Romans 12: 1 was in operation: in view of God’s mercy, I offered myself as a living sacrifice. Consecration of all that I am and have naturally followed when I experience the grace of God afresh. It was both struggle and grace as I came to finally pray, as Jesus did in Gethsemane, Father, not my will, but Yours be done. To be willing to do whatever He wills, at whatever the cost, for the greater glory of God was the end point intended. It was also a school of prayer as I would learn to pray with the imagination, with honest feelings, with reverence and depth. There were no “How to’s” or techniques taught. Prayed as you can, not as you should or must, is one of the memorable gems that the director underlined in one of the sessions. So with whatever knowledge or experience I had thus far, I went on my knees or sat and prayed. Learning to discern the spiritual movements in my heart and how to make better decisions is another growth area for me. This was relevant and interesting and it helped me see the important role of discerning of spirits in the church, and resulted in a strong personal desire for this grace-gift. Restoration and re-configuration The Lord was gracious and faithful and He ministered to me directly in prayer and meditation. Like a shepherd He tended to me. He made me lie down in a restful atmosphere and feed on nutrient rich pastures and still waters. He restored my soul. He showed me the right path to take and promised to be with me through thick and thin. He dealt with the past, filled me with His presence, and gave me hope for the future. The immediate effects of the prayer retreat is best described metaphorically. It felt like a spiritual re-configuration had taken place. Changed focus, increased knowledge and awareness, spiritual aliveness and alertness, and rejuvenation of my desires to serve God’s people. A better operating system was installed. To change to a geographical metaphor, the tectonic plates of my soul have moved and the fault lines have closed. Revived, re-configured re-commissioned, and ready to go in peace and serve the Lord. It took thirty five days to complete my retreat program. The first few days was for preparation and the last one or two was for reflection on and thanksgiving for what the Lord has revealed of Himself and had done in me. Having my wife around and Juniper Tree My wife joined me for a short prayer retreat and vacation at the tail end. It was wonderful to have her with me as I unwound in the last few days. She enjoyed her three day prayer retreat with another director, Puspo. At the same time, it was good I could show her around some of the interesting places outside Seven Fountains, and fete her with Japanese food at the popular Tsunami restaurant nearby. Later we moved to another place in Chiang Mai called the Juniper Tree. From there we idled, and shopped at the large Airport Central Shopping Mall and the night bazaar. The Juniper Tree was a small hotel with a swimming pool bought over by a ministry that sought to provide a place for cross cultural missionaries to rest, recuperate, and be refreshed. Elijah suffered burnout and sat under a juniper tree and the angel fed him with food and he slept under the tree. Many of the missionaries I saw there were Caucasians serving in various countries in Asia. Many came to rest and be refreshed and unwind from the stresses of their cross cultural work. Some came because of medical needs, and two were about to deliver babies. One or two came to renew their visas. The path ahead Back home I continued in my reflections and readings of books on the spiritual dynamics of the retreat program, spiritual direction, and the discerning of spirits. A friend, pastor Seng Chor had given me a book titled, Sacred Listening – James Wakefield, a Protestant adaptation of the retreat program for lay people who cannot take a full 30 days retreat. The program runs for 6 mothns requiring an hour and a half everyday for the exercises. Adapting what I experienced for church use would be a useful project for me to work on. Furthermore, recently, the recommended book list for my third AGST master’s module (Spirituality and Faith Development) arrived and I am now beginning to read and enjoy the stuff: To Know As We Are Known – Palmer Streams of Living Water – Foster Exploring Christian Spirituality – Collins ………..and many other readings. Looks like another enjoyable and enlightening module awaits me in the middle of September. That would be the last month of my sabbatical. October first, by the grace of God, I will be back shepherding the flock with renewed heart and mind and body.

Snacking has become nearly universal behavior in the United States, with an estimated 97 percent of Americans consuming at least one snack per day. In light of increasing snacking frequency and snack size among US adults, combined with continued increases in obesity rates and widespread nutrient shortfalls, it becomes increasingly important to identify snacks that pose little risk for weight gain while providing health benefits. Snacking reportedly increases risk for weight gain, but this broad generalization may mask different responses to select foods. The newly published randomized, controlled clinical study, led by researchers at Purdue University, investigated the effects of almond snacking on weight and appetite. "This research suggests that almonds may be a good snack option, especially for those concerned about weight," Richard Mattes, PhD, MPH, RD, distinguished professor of nutrition science at Purdue University and the study's principal investigator, said. "In this study, participants compensated for the additional calories provided by the almonds so daily energy intake did not rise and reported reduced hunger levels and desire to eat at subsequent meals, particularly when almonds were consumed as a snack," he said. The findings are published the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Plastic poses a deadly threat to marine organisms that swallow or become ensnared in it, but researchers have long wondered whether plastic also affects marine species on a molecular level. Now, a team of Japanese scientists has uncovered the first evidence that plastic may decompose in seawater—suggesting that it could contaminate marine life from the inside out. (1) Led by Katsuhiko Saido of Nihon University, the researchers conducted lab experiments finding that polystyrene-based plastics, thought to be virtually indestructible, can actually break down at seawater temperatures. To test whether this degradation’s byproducts were present in the sea, the researchers analyzed water samples collected from the northern Pacific Ocean and from waters off Malaysia and the western U.S. The samples were found to contain styrene monomers, dimers, and trimers, the researchers reported at a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society. Previous studies suggest styrene monomers are carcinogenic in mice, but exactly how these particles might affect marine species is unclear. ❧ 1. Saido, K. et al. 2009.

|Page (1) of 1 - 03/30/06||email article||print page| AV Service Contracts: A Consultants PerspectiveService contracts are the single most important client contact a dealer can have Hello all, Ive agreed to write a short piece about AV service contracts from the point of view of an independent consultant. This is one of Gary's favorite topics and deservedly so. Its also a topic that I know something about since I regularly specify SCs, and intermittently play client/contractor referee when our systems have problems after the initial installation. In any case, I am here to argue that service contracts are the single most important client contact a dealer can have. Why? They provide a consistent opportunity for developing long-term relationships with new clients, or for strengthening a relationship with an existing client. And as we all know, when it comes to competing in the service industry, relationships trump all. First off, lets get past the bid spec service contract issue. Yes, most competitive bid specs come with a one year parts and labor warranty coverage, sometime two years. I argue that this is an opportunity made in heaven to get to know and help your client, and pull in add-on sales that you never would have closed without it. A great way to put some profit back into that low-margin bid you used to win the project in the first place. All too often I see contractors low-bid a project, win it, complete it, and then walk away from the client. Whats up with that? You invested in the relationship, now get some ROI! Dont wait for the client to call you, send your folks out for scheduled service like clockwork! Have them ask if theres anything else that they need, or any new projects coming up. Clients are much more open in person than on the phone or via e-mail. Have your tech stop by the offices of the folks they worked with on the original install and drop off some swag and a business card. Sales people often dont get past the receptionist, so take every advantage here to schmooze and gather intelligence from the inside. Your clients appreciate being serviced well by someone they know, so dont blow it and act like a disaffected video store clerk! This is particularly important when the client is a large corporate, governmental, or university client who regularly buys equipment and services in bid and RFP formats. In my experience, getting on RFP and bid lists, as well being tapped for less formal AV procurements is very often based on the clients perception of the vendors technical proficiency and responsiveness. Many clients change vendors or seek out independent consultants because theyre unhappy with their existing technical support or they just dont know anyone to help them with (from our perspective) relatively simple, but potentially profitable installations. Other times clients would rather talk to the service or technical support than sales about their needs because they are already savvy enough to know what they want, and prefer to cut to the chase. So, if they have a continuing relationship with a tech, they will call them, or broach the subject with them on the next service visit. (The key here is the tech needs to be on a service visit.) Asking techs to sell, however coincidental, brings up the issue of commissions. Should a field tech get a commission for selling equipment or a system? My answer is yes, absolutely. So what if the client is in the territory of an existing sales person, or worse, already has a relationship with a particular sales person? A commission split or at least a bird-dog fee is in order. It could also mean that your salespeople are spread too thin, or for one reason or another are not maintaining good contact with your client base. Perhaps the client doesnt like or trust the assigned salesperson and this is a signal that a change is needed. In short, if youre not rewarding your techs for bringing in business, you should be. In fact, anyone in your organization who takes it upon themselves to help sell equipment and services from your delivery driver to your receptionist should be rewarded, and I dont mean donuts on Friday morning. Heres my rationale: Everyone in your organization is in sales whether they like it or not. Every interaction that your client has with your company contributes to their perception of whether you are easy or difficult to do business with, which in turn drives business your way and away from your competition and the Internet. In his recent bestseller The World is Flat, Pulitzer prize-winning business technology author Thomas Freidman implies that every sales, support and technical job that can be outsourced to China , India , Eastern Europe and Mexico will be soon if its not being done already. This includes everything from taking your fast food order at the local drive-thru to answering your questions about your health insurance, to high-level software and hardware design and manufacturing by Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Dell, and HP. After much analysis, Mr. Freidman comes to the conclusion that there are four types of people that are secure in their jobs or businesses in the future: ?special people such as Michael Jordan and Bill Gates; ?specialists such as high-level engineers in niche industries (like ours); ?anchored workers like your dentist, plumber or waitress who must work on site; ?really adaptable workers who can adopt new work habits and technical competencies overnight. And this is the good news: We in the AV business are not selling fungible services. At least for the foreseeable future, most (but not all) of our equipment and systems need to be sold, designed, coordinated, installed and serviced to some degree in person by anchored specialists who are really adaptable! And more to the point, in an age where a client can order virtually any piece of equipment over the Internet below your cost, your people, whether sales or technical, warehouse picker or CEO, can provide the irreplaceable direct interaction necessary to get your clients gear installed, working, repaired and replaced. So yes, sell service contracts at every opportunity, and then perform those maintenance visits whether they call you or not. It is one of the main avenues of consistent, direct client contact that you have available and it is a powerful intelligence tool that may be the difference between a good year and Chapter 11.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Marko Perovic scored the game-winning goal with a stunning free kick in the 67th minute and the consistently dangerous Sainey Nyassi added an insurance tally seven minutes later, as the New England Revolution snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the league-leading LA Galaxy on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. Perovics goal midway through the second half snapped a 347-minute scoring drought for the Revs (4-9-2, 14 pts.), who hadnt scored since their most recent victory, a 3-2 win over the New York Red Bulls on May 29. Nyassis strike in the 74th minute then defied the statistics once again, as the Revs became the first team to score two goals against the resolute Galaxy (11-2-3, 36 pts.) this season. With the win, the Revs pulled themselves off the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference and immediately climbed the ladder into fifth place. Despite the loss, the Galaxy remains six points clear of Real Salt Lake at the head of the league standings. The Revolution made just one change from the lineup which suffered a 5-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake last Friday night, as Darrius Barnes replaced Cory Gibbs in central defense. Gibbs was ruled out after suffering a left quad strain in training earlier this week, paving the way for Barnes to return to the lineup for the first time since early May after recovering from a right foot and ankle injury. Los Angeles, meanwhile, was without two of its most influential players in U.S. National Team star Landon Donovan and standout defender Omar Gonzalez. Donovan remained in LA to rest following his participation in the FIFA World Cup, while Gonzalez was suspended for yellow-card accumulation. Just as they did against Real Salt Lake last weekend, the Revs started the match on the front foot as they pushed to snap a scoreless streak spanning more than three matches. But unlike they did in that loss to RSL in which New Englands game-plan broke down after conceding midway through the first half the Revs stayed strong in midfield and controlled the tempo in the opening 45 minutes. Despite New Englands superiority in terms of possession, the first half was largely devoid of quality scoring chances for either side. The Revs threatened in the 13th minute when Shalrie Josephs cutting through ball opened up the Galaxy backline, but indecision between eventual goal-scorers Nyassi and Perovic ended the chance. At the other end, Matt Reis who made five saves to record his first shutout of the season was called into action a few times by long-range shots from Edson Buddle and Tristan Bowen, but nothing which seriously troubled the Revolution goalkeeper. With neither team creating any clear-cut chances in the first half, the most influential piece of action was an injury suffered by Revolution midfielder Jason Griffiths. The rookie who was making his second consecutive start after earning his first career start last week in Salt Lake City appeared to suffer a muscle strain in the 28th minute, and as a result he was replaced by Joseph Niouky. While the first half was lacking in quality scoring chances, the game opened up shortly after the halftime break and the Revs almost took the lead in the 51st minute. Joseph was again the provider with a cleverly chipped pass over the Galaxy backline, but Perovic couldnt get around the ball and directed his shot just outside the left post and into the side netting. Perovic didnt make the same mistake in the 67th minute, firing home from a set piece to give the Revs a deserved 1-0 lead. The original free kick was 30 yards from goal and Perovics effort was driven into the Galaxy wall, but the ball struck Leonardos hand and Perovic was given another chance 10 yards closer to goal. At the second attempt, Perovic drilled his shot low around the wall and inside the left post as Los Angeles goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts reacted late. The Revs wasted little time doubling their lead in the 74th minute, as Nyassi grabbed the goal he deserved for his endeavor down the right wing. Joseph started the chance with a long-distance shot from 25 yards, and the effort deflected off Nyassi as he ran across the top of the box. Ricketts recovered well to push the ball off the left post, but Nyassi was left with the simple task of blasting the ball into the empty net from one yard out. Second-half substitute Kheli Dube came inches from scoring a third for the Revs in the 81st minute with a fantastic turn and shot, but his effort flew just wide of the right post. In the end, it didnt matter as two goals were plenty enough to hand the Revs their fourth win of the season. Just a few weeks after returning from the World Cup break, the Revs will now take another break from league play to participate in the group stage of SuperLiga 2010. Theyll open the tournament by welcoming Mexican Primera Divisin club Pumas UNAM to Gillette Stadium on Wednesday, July 14 for an 8 p.m. kickoff. New England Revolution (4-9-2, 14 pts.) vs. LA Galaxy (11-2-3, 36 pts.)&8232; July 10, 2010 Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Mass.) The Revolution win pulls New England to a 13-15-5 all-time record against the LA Galaxy, and is the Revs first win over LA in their last five meetings additionally, the Revolution improved to 9-5-2 at home against LA, including 6-1-2 at Gillette Stadium since the facility opened in 2002. New England became only the second team in 2010 to beat the Galaxy, and salvaged a regular-season series split with LA. Darrius Barnes saw his first game action in over two months- since he suffered a foot injury at Columbus on May 8 Barnes stepped in for the injured Cory Gibbs, who sat with a left quad strain. Jason Griffiths left the game, his second career start, in the 28th minute with a leg injury he was replaced by Joseph Niouky. The Revs held their opponent scoreless in the first half for the first time since a visit to Toronto FC (May 22), a span of four games. The Revolution broke a 347-minute scoreless streak when Marko Perovic struck on a free kick. The two goals conceded by the LA Galaxy marked the first time all season that the MLS points leader gave up more than one goal.

Erkia and Colin both grew up in Tucson then met in high school. There wasn’t anything serious and they only dated for three days but their close friendship and relationship never ended. They kept each other close throughout college where they then committed to a serious relationship senior year and during that year: Their love blossomed. This year on April 22nd, Colin proposed at their favorite bar after going to their favorite restaurant. All the workers new them since the Maverick was their routine hang out. To the workers excitement Colin got down on one knee if front of the Maverick and proposed to his best friend. They then ended the night dancing to “I Don’t Dance” by Lee Brice. Since Erika and Colin were both born and raised in Tucson, it was only fitting to have their engagement pictures in one of the most beautiful locations Tucson has to offer. Mt. Lemmon is close to their heart, and watching the city lights flicker from the high desert terrain is what fuels their love and passion.

Más allá del aula. Drew has many options for students to explore Spanish culture and language más allá del aula—beyond the classroom. Immerse yourself! Improve your language skills and enhance your cultural knowledge by studying abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. Using your Spanish when visiting a Spanish-speaking country transforms your passive observation into active participation. You engage more directly with the host culture, garner a greater appreciation for how others see the world, and rethink familiar assumptions from a deeper global context. The Department of Spanish, through the Drew Center for Global Education, offers a wide range of study-abroad opportunities for students of Spanish: Short-term international experiences, designed and led by Drew faculty members, are where language and research skills meet real-world experience. Semester- or year-long immersion experiences abroad in affiliation with Drew’s Global Partner Programs—educational programs providers selected by Drew based on their high academic and administrative quality—provide opportunities for study around the world. These Global Partners Programs have been approved by the faculty for transfer credit for your Drew degree. Our Global Partner Programs are located across the Spanish-speaking world, including Spain, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Students of Spanish can spend a semester or more in a program that best meets their academic interests and goals–often complementing their language and cultural studies with classes in other disciplines, or with internships and service learning opportunities. Gain practical experience through hands-on learning that allows you to enrich your classroom learning and apply you Spanish in real-world settings. An internship offers an ideal opportunity for career development. Earn Drew credit by completing an academic internship close to campus, in New York City, across the country or abroad. Students can work in a range of areas where they can use Spanish to complement their other academic interests. Recent internships completed by Spanish majors include nonprofit organizations, financial planning firms, public schools, talent and literary agencies, health care providers and community development agencies. Sigma Delta Pi is a nationally renowned honor society that recognizes academic excellence in the study of the Spanish language, culture and history. This society was established on November 14, 1919, by Ruth Barnes at the University of California in Berkeley. Over the past 90 years, the society has grown in both size and prestige; there are currently over 500 universities that belong to this organization. Being selected for induction is not an easy feat, and each and every member, both current and new, should be proud of his or her achievement. Note: You may count the course in which you are currently enrolled at the time you are applying for induction. For more information, please contact the Chapter Adviser: Brothers College 207 Every fall semester, professors and students come together to celebrate the Day of the Dead, the traditional Mexican holiday that has been acknowledged internationally in several other countries and cultures. As part of this cultural event, an altar is created to remember and honor the dead. The department celebrates with food, traditional music and skull decorating. The Spanish Department’s annual poetry competition is now in its third decade! Every spring semester, students from all language levels compete for prizes and put their language skills and creativity on public display by reciting their favorite poem in Spanish or reading an original poem. Every April, the Spanish Department celebrates the achievement of our students inducted into Drew’s Omicron Gamma chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the national Hispanic Honor Society. The induction ceremony is attended by faculty, friends and family who come together to celebrate our department’s top students. At the end of every semester, Spanish majors deliver their capstone presentations publicly and share their research with Spanish department faculty and fellow students. At the end of every academic year, all graduating Spanish majors are invited to dine with the Spanish department in celebration of their achievements and all that is ahead after leaving the Forest. “My experience in Barcelona was life changing. In addition to seeing incredible sites, we got to see firsthand how a different culture and economy operated, all while strengthening our speaking, reading, listening and writing skills. Some of my fondest memories at Drew come from my time in Barcelona.” “My semester in Buenos Aires opened my eyes to new perspectives that ultimately changed my life. I learned about another culture, but also about myself. My immersion experience led me to discover some of the similarities between Caribbean, American and Argentine cultures that, in turn, further ignited my passion for Latin American cultures and societies. As a result, I am now pursuing a doctoral degree in Spanish.”

A recent survey by Pew Internet and the American Life Project found that one in three teens had shared a password (email, Facebook, etc.) with a friend or boyfriend or girlfriend. Apparently sharing your password is the new way to express intimacy, to prove to your partner that you have nothing to hide. Um, hello Facebook hacking! (Aside: Did you know that if you work at Facebook HQ and accidentally leave your FB account logged in when you leave your desk, some jokester colleague will update your status to say that you are pooping? Apparently it’s a company tradition.) Anyway. Maybe teens don’t have any credit card digits to lose just yet, but identify theft (or even just unauthorized identity borrowing) can suck in junior high too. We hope we don’t need to explain what a terrible idea this is. But just in case we do — and we get it: exchanging letterman jackets and class rings is so last century — here are five better ways to express your intimacy, for the love-struck teen inside us all. - Get tested together for STDs. To clarify: forgoing the condom (before getting tested) doesn’t prove you have nothing to hide — it just makes you look like a dumb-ass. - Put your partner at the top of your speed dial list. You can even give them a special ring-tone. - Tag them in a cheeky status update on Facebook. Or proclaim your love @ them in a Tweet. - Get matching henna tattoos. Because matching permanent tattoos ranks right up there with sharing your password: 99% of you will come to regret it. Can you say “Wino Forever”? - Don’t have anything to hide! Don’t cheat, don’t lie, don’t talk trash behind someone’s back. If you’re honest to the core, you won’t need to prove it, because honesty speaks for itself.

- Added ability to store templates in database - Added template tag context to allow use of MT tags - Changed code to use standard MT loading of templates - Cleared out now-unused routines (load_email) - Corrected error with missing text on management interface - Updated database load routines to standardize coding - Updated translation file with recent changes First, the main feature of version 5.0.0: Templates that parse MT template tags, that are stored in the database. This means you can use any contextual tags (entry-related tags in an entry notification, for example) in your notifications. System tags - those that don't require context - should also be available. That should make things simpler for everyone - even the open source users. However, for licensed users, the templates are actually stored in the database. This has two distinct advantages. The first is that they are editable through the MT interface. Just go to the global templates screen to edit, as you would with any other template. The second is that you can use those global templates as a default and create individual blog templates to override the global templates. This should make those of you happy who have been looking for blog-specific templates to really customize things. This will work for notifications (body and subjects can be edited in this way) and the response template (what you see when confirming a request). Thanks to Byrne for the kick that got me started down this path. I didn't quite use his code, but I definitely used his inspiration. Once again, the open source version (available on Github) does not provide the ability to store templates in the database. You can, however, use Movable Type template tags in your templates (they are stored on disk, as they have always been). Because of this, you don't have the same ability to provide per-blog customization. You could do something in the template with nested if statements, which you could have done all along, but it's going to be a lot more complex. Also, the open source version doesn't have the integrated management interface or search. If you want to check these out, you'll need to license the software. All subscription-based options are still there. If you want to try the open source software, links to the tar and zip-based downloads are available on the downloads page. If you were using any MT-Notifier based template tags, or had customized your templates, you'll want to review them prior to upgrading. This change required doing away with most of those old tags to switch over to the MT-style of doing things. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. The benefit should be worth it.

Encouraging unstructured outdoor play Unstructured outdoor play contributes even more to the full development of children abilities. Since the environment outdoors is less structured, it offers children a greater variety of movement, more freedom of action and more space. It has been proven that when a child has access to a large playground and outdoor space, he changes his usual behaviour and chooses activities that involve running. Also, since children are more active outdoors, playing outdoors contributes to reducing, even curbing, obesity. Outdoors and especially at a playground, a child can practise his motor skills on playground equipment designed for this purpose. In play structures, a child can slide, walk up stairs and climb ropes and walls. Babies enjoy being swung. Older children can even swing on their tummies. The sandbox is also a great place to stimulate the senses and use motor skills, while grass is the perfect setting for children to explore different movements and improve their protective reflexes. Therefore, it is important to encourage the development of various motor skills and the regular practice of physical activities, ideally on a daily basis. Doing so will help children maintain a physically active lifestyle during adolescence and adulthood. Children learn through play ! This is why Jambette develops and designs play equipment that promotes the child's physical and motor development. To learn more about how play contributes to every aspect of child development, download our Clever Little Guide to Getting Children Out to Play .

the vision behind masquerotica As residents of the Bay Area, we are uniquely blessed to live and love in a culture far more accepting than most . But even here, there is no escape from judgment, from bias and from discrimination, from ourselves and from others. Just as SF Pride was founded with the goal of embracing all forms of diversity and expression in the context of sexual orientation, Masquerotica seeks to foster those same broader forms of diversity and expression in the context of ART & IMAGINATION. In our view, sex and imagination are intrinsically connected. Who we are is proving to be far more fluid than we previously were told. As the luminous Anais Nin wrote in the 1940's.. "Intellectual, imaginative, romantic, emotional. This is what gives sex its surprising textures, its subtle transformations, its aphrodisiac elements." The disparity between who we feel ourselves to be and what society tells us we "should" be is an inevitably anxiety-producing dilemma - because in large measure, society's judgments and our own judgments are equally illusory. Liberation from both levels of judgment involves reimagining ourselves not as any one thing - but rather as a multitude of things... a multitude of selves... a masquerade of selves if you will.. all of which brings us back to Masquerotica. Masquerotica is here to take back Halloween and to restore to the Bay an annual happening that is purely artful, open and community-oriented; where everyone participates and is there to add to the ambiance, and to the surprise and energy of the experience. Halloween in the streets in recent years, grew unmanageable and unsafe. Masquerotica and its core team of event producers, artists and designers are committed to the creation of "dynamic and expansive" shared spaces, prepared and attended by the best, most active, generous, and creative of our collective communities. We know somewhere among your masquerade of selves is one who will love and be transformed by this daring, sexy and loving experiment. Come join the fun!!! What does it mean to be ‘Sex Positive’? Sex is fun, healthy and pleasurable, and should be explored without shame or fear. Sex positivity might be defined as "an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, and encourages sexual pleasure and experimentation. " Core components of this attitude are: - Celebrating personal freedom: There is no moral distinction necessary between different and consensual forms of sexual behavior. - Sexual exploration: Trying out new things is fun and healthy! Sexual Health and Education: Supporting the spread of information about sexual options, risks and protecting yourself. - Consent: If everyone is a YES, then anything is possible. Prepare to Surrender to the Next-Level of Sex Positive Celebration! All Orientations of Positive Expression are Welcome! 21 + / Costumes Passionately Encouraged!

Michael Vick's on his way back to Philadelphia for his debut after a judge in Virginia approved a plan for Vick to repay $20 million to all the people he owes. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro approved the plan this morning on the condition that Vick retain a personal financial planner to manage his future earning with the Philadelphia Eagles. Santoro says while Vick is "at the pinnacle of his profession," he hasn't been able to manage his finances in the past. The plan will allow Vick to emerge from bankruptcy. Creditors ranging from banks holding mortgages on Vick houses to his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, endorsed Vick's plan to repay them based on future earnings and the sales of assets, including houses, cars and investments. Debtors representing $132,743 rejected the plan. Vick was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for his role in running a dogfighting ring. He signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Eagles, who hold a $5.2 million option for a second season. The judge was skeptical about signing off on the plan before Vick signed with the Eagles. Vick is eligible to play the final two preseason games, but not officially cleared to play in the regular season. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by no later than Week 6, in mid-October.

OPINION: However eye wateringly good our culinary scene gets - and it's pretty damn fabulous - we still seem to pine for food from across the sea. America remains the world's fast food Mecca, and every trip there comes with a compulsory list of icons to eat our way through. You have to try Taco Bell! You have to try In N Out! You have to devote yourself to rolling in sugar and fat until your arteries seize up and you have to be rolled back onto the plane home! I decided to shoulder the heavy burden of eating this list, sampling America's best and biggest fast food icons. All to answer the question once and for all: are we really missing out? 1. Taco Bell : Maybe we are… do we have a market for Mexican Maccas? I was warned about Taco Bell. Probably because the franchises have as much charm as a disused morgue. It's painted in old hospital colours: disinfectant green, Cheetos dust orange and beige the colour of the nearly dead. However, the food belies the decor. I had the cool ranch Doritos tacos with steak. And when you could stop retching at the clumps of stringy orange cheese then the taco itself was ok. The shell had crunch, the lettuce was green (not white) and had a little bite, the sauce was tasty-ish, and the steak was cut from animal muscle (not boiled off the carcass.) Now it's not exactly fun to eat, but it's cheap, mechanically fast and thoroughly edible. If we need basic fast Mexican then this could be it. 2. Cinabon YES. YES. YES. Oh my….Oh my…oh my, these are aptly named. Cinabon delights: two pockets of fluffy batter plugged full of a whipped creamy something. The cinnamon and sugar crust is so thick it crunches like pastry, the batter is a succulent cloud and the creamy stuff is so scandalously good it's probably illegal in Texas. No wonder there's a queue as people lining up for a bite of instantaneous, hot sin. It blows all Kiwi competitors out of the deep fat frier. Dunkin' donuts ain't got nothing. Forget bringing in Krispy Kremes, we are definitely, definitely missing out by not having these in NZ. 3.IHOP: Yes, but it's basically what Denny's could be if it weren't such a basket case. IHOP is beautiful not for the food but for the predictability. You know exactly what cookie cutter carb hit that you're going to get. The pancakes are good. Well, it's not the "this-is-remarkably-similar-to chewing-a-sofa-cushion" experience. The cooked breakfast is as un-digestible as the coffee - which I'm sure is used to strip hardened bacon fat from the tables. But if IHOP sticks to what it's good at, pancakes with a side of irrepressible enthusiasm, then this could certainly work in Auckland. It would be a welcome relief from picking a brunch spot in NZ, which can often be as simple and pain free as choosing your future career. 4. Cream: WE NEED THIS MORE THAN WE NEED FREE PUBLIC WIFI Dear God. Americans do two things well. Endless optimism and ice cream cookie sandwiches. Cream is the talk of LA right now, and I was told that leaving LA without going there would be akin to not seeing the Hollywood sign. Cream is a rapidly expanding desert fast food chain that's latched on to the idea of gourmet desert take away. It bakes its own cookies, scoops ice cream between them and covers it in toppings such as crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or anything you could imagine that gives you diabetes. It's so good that there's a constant 10 minute queue. This is childhood in a paper cup. The cookies have crunchy crusts and gooey cores, the ice cream feels like it's just come out of a cow carved from sugar and there's enough toppings to satisfy a junior school full of toddlers. New Zealand has a huge sugary space where the take away dessert food market should be. Cream needs to fill it. Verity Johnson is a Newshub columnist. She travelled to LA courtesy of Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand offers double daily non-stop flights to Los Angeles from Auckland. A variety of inflight product choices are available including Economy, Economy Skycouch, Premium Economy and Business Premier. One-way Economy fares start from $909 (inclusive of taxes).

All my life, I have followed the philosophy of "If one wants to succeed, one must simply be the best." This is what I aim to create in photography: portraits that are timeless, crisp, and beautiful. I have the blessing that I am not creating something for the "now," but I am creating something to last 50 years or more. I believe firmly in the phrase "You get what you pay for;" however, I do not believe that it means you have to spend a fortune to get there. As such, I am willing to try and work with those on any budget. I believe photos are worth a thousand words, but the best photos will make us simply speechless.

NEW YORK: The same day President Donald Trump rolled back Title IX protections for transgender students, GLAAD announced the creation of two top comms jobs: chief communications officer and chief digital officer. Rich Ferraro, formerly of senior director of communications and public affairs at Viacom, will take on the chief communications officer role. Jim Halloran, previously Twitter’s head of global content management, will serve as chief digital officer. Both will begin work in March. Ferraro, who worked previously at GLAAD two years ago, is returning to the organization to build up its news team to better work with the media and "When we share stories in ways that humanize LGBTQ issues and showcase the commonality that this community has with other Americans, it’s hard for fair-minded Americans to turn their backs," he said. "As the cultural and political times change, these personal stories are the first line of defense - and I could not pass up the opportunity to lead that work at GLAAD." "I took this job because this is where the fight is," Halloran said. "The battles we’re facing today are being won or lost online long before they reach the courts or capital." Though Ferraro and Halloran haven’t officially started at GLAAD yet, they have already developed plans to face challenges like Trump eliminating protections for transgender students. "What we need to do is control our narrative rather than spending our time refuting their bogus claims," he said. "We need to provide tools to journalists, such as the Trump Accountability Project and the rapid response newsroom, to get that story right." One of the main goals in the current situation is reminding people that the Title IX protections are not just about bathrooms. The GLAAD team will go about that by reminding journalists that the story goes beyond bathrooms and into people’s real lives. ?? Important ?? https://t.co/v52db1PAUi— GLAAD (@glaad) February 23, 2017 "The job we should be doing at GLAAD is providing tools and solutions that help make journalists’ lives easier," Halloran said. "There's an LGBTQ angle to every story because they are everywhere; we need to highlight that intersectionality." Halloran, who oversees the digital communications, data analytics, digital operations, and design and multimedia teams, is also focused on building support on social media with the #WeResist campaign. Ferraro wants to ensure that the rallies in solidarity with LGBTQ teens are covered by the press and that trans voices are properly represented in the media during the Title IX crisis. "It’s also so important to reach trans youth, who all too often feel isolated, with messages that they are loved," Ferraro said. In the announcement, GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis cited the current social and political climate as the force behind the new roles. "At a time when anti-LGBTQ hate crimes are on the rise and discriminatory legislation is being considered on both the state and federal levels, GLAAD is committed to expanding its long-term strategic capabilities as well as its capacity," Ellis said in a press release. The current environment has created a surge of protests for everyone from women's rights to the environment to LGBT issues, which Ferraro hopes to capitalize on. "There’s a lot of energy from the community and allies to take action and GLAAD is in a unique position to harness that energy in ways that can stand up to anti-LGBTQ policy or send messages of solidarity to LGBTQ people and families," he said. Halloran added that GLAAD is also keeping up with the digital and social movement of every industry by bringing on a chief digital officer. "Trump has definitely been a lightning rod for a lot of things, but it's not the only reason," he said. "His election highlights a fault in our system. Coming from Twitter and tech, we built all these amazing tools to connect the world and we didn't expect these tools to be weaponized against us. GLAAD is supposed to be a media organization and committed to being on the cutting edge of the industry; digital is next wave of it."

ADVA Optical Networking today announced its involvement in the 5G-XHaul project. The company’s engineers and equipment are playing a central role in the EU-funded initiative to develop the next generation of mobile networks and services. ADVA Optical Networking’s WDM-PON technology is being used to create optical links between access points, antennae and core networks in the research project’s testbeds. The initiative, which is part of the EU Horizon 2020 5G Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership (5G PPP), aims to revolutionize fronthaul and backhaul networks to create the infrastructure needed for LTE-Advanced connectivity. The three-year project is a pan-European collaboration bringing together market-leading companies, research institutes and universities in order to create the new 5G standard and address the rapidly growing need for higher data rates. “5G is about bringing phenomenally high bandwidth to mobile devices. The problem is that the capacity requirements for the backhaul and core network also increase enormously,” said Christoph Glingener, CTO, ADVA Optical Networking. “The 5G-XHaul project is helping to address this issue by creating a unique platform for collaboration. It’s a vitally important joint initiative and we’re thrilled to be able to contribute so much to it. Our WDM-PONs are helping to build a world where devices can connect with the Internet anywhere. We’re redesigning wireless architecture and enabling applications and services to physically follow the user so that they experience the least possible delay. Coverage dead spots will be a thing of the past. Even in dense urban canyons and remote rural backwaters, HD teleworking and video streaming will be easily accessible. 5G will even ensure connectivity when traveling on high-speed transport.” The 5G-XHaul project will culminate in 2018 with ADVA Optical Networking’s team (advaoptical.com) jointly conducting a large-scale field trial in Bristol, UK. This city-wide demonstration will showcase how flexibility in the passive network can be increased with the highly-efficient and cost-effective tuneable lasers built into ADVA Optical Networking’s WDM-PONs. Funding for the unique collaboration is provided by the EU’s 5G PPP, the world’s biggest information and communication research program. The ultimate aim of the project is to rethink fronthaul and backhaul networks from the system and architecture levels all the way down to the physical layer. It’s goal is to enable dynamic allocation of network resources through network functions virtualization and software-defined networking, delivering the increased capacity needed for 5G as well as providing radical improvements to energy efficiency. “More and more mobile users want to be able to stream ultra-high definition TV and video on mobile devices. And this is just the beginning,” commented, Jörg-Peter Elbers, VP, advanced technology, ADVA Optical Networking. “Today’s infrastructure is nowhere near flexible enough to cope with the scale of tomorrow’s requirements. A network with tens of billions of devices must be dynamic and it needs to manage itself automatically. The 5G-XHaul project is bringing together academics and industry experts to tackle this problem. Working with university research departments means it’s also a great opportunity for many students. Not only is this a real-world project with an actual product target but it puts them at the heart of the industry’s next giant leap forward. They get to help connect the world, to enable the Internet of Things, to make sure Europe plays a leading role in creating the mobile network of the future."

Rep. Darrell Issa led a hearing today on reducing federal restrictions on the height of buildings in Washington, D.C., the first in decades on the subject. It was the latest move from the California Republican to support giving the District more authority, making him one of its strongest and most unlikely allies in Congress. The D.C.-focused Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which Issa chairs, explored revisions to the Height Act, the century-old law that governs the scale of buildings throughout the District. Issa suggested it should be possible allow some buildings to grow taller while still maintaining the unique, low skyline D.C. is famous for, with all its monuments and historic structures. In business areas, building heights are mostly limited to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet. There is also a general height limit of 130 feet, extended to 160 feet along parts of Pennsylvania Avenue. But instead of Congress establishing the blueprint for implementing new Height Act strictures and imposing that on the city, Issa suggested Congress amend the Height Act to give local leaders, in consultation with their constituents, the necessary leeway to give exceptions to the law if they chose to do so. “Should we empower the city to answer some of those questions [about the Height Act] itself and would they appreciate the opportunity, even if they decide not to use the amendment to the Height Act?” Issa asked. D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) expressed her appreciation for Issa’s suggestion in a statement released after the hearing. “The chairman’s comments today indicated another breakthrough with his willingness to consider greater authority for the city under the Height Act,” she said. “Such a change would simply acknowledge that in hometown D.C., local officials would be best able to make changes, if needed.” D.C. Building Industry Association Counsel Christopher Collins, D.C. Office of Planning Director Harriet Tregoning, architect and Washington Post columnist Roger Lewis, National Capital Planning Commission Executive Director Marcel Acosta and D.C. Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi all testified in favor of increased flexibility in building in accordance to the Height Act, saying there were ways to build higher without imposing on the monumental core or detracting from the city’s unique look. As an example, some argued the Height Act could be changed to allow “mechanical penthouses” — the top floors of buildings that house mechanical equipment — to be inhabited by people. The law currently allows buildings to rise above the height limit to accommodate such penthouses but bars them from human habitation. “Allowing habitable space in a roof structure in addition to the normal roof top machinery, while retaining the current roof structure setback requirement, would allow a wide variety of uses, such as restaurants and lounges, health clubs, community rooms and enclosed swimming pools as well as other residential and non-residential uses,” Collins said of the economic benefits of amending the Height Act in such a way. “Allowing their use for more active purposes will have no real impact on the overall maximum heights of buildings as permitted by the 1910 Height Act and will not impact the District’s recognizable and historic skyline,” Tregoning added. They all agreed, however, that any changes to the Height Act would have to be made with significant sensitivity to the wishes of District residents, many of whom are very attached to the laws governing the scale of their architecture and believe any modification would open a Pandora’s box of changes. “You may have every reason to want a few stories, but you will bring down the citizens on you like nothing you’ve ever seen,” Norton warned her colleagues. Laura Richards, a member of the board of trustees of the Committee of 100 on the Federal City, was the lone voice of opposition to changes to the Height Act. “The Height Act of 1910 plays a positive, powerful role in shaping the cityscape and the experience of living in the District,” she said. “Changes to the Height Act, including the suggestion to allow rooftop construction alongside mechanical penthouses, are not necessary to achieve additional residential capacity or to stimulate economic development. In short, lifting the Height Act will alter irretrievably ... [and it] should remain undisturbed and should be enforced vigorously.” D.C. Commuter Tax? On an unrelated note and in the final minutes of the hearing, Issa floated an idea based on a comment Gandhi had made earlier in the afternoon: Could D.C.’s charter be revised to allow city government to collect a commuter tax? “I think we should, after the election, start thinking about how we’re going to deal with the only place that doesn’t have the ability to tax people who earn their income in that place,” Issa said. Later, in speaking with reporters, Issa said he was coming from “a standpoint of fairness but also from the standpoint of removing the incentive to commute out of the city while working in the city.” “It costs all of us a lot of money,” he continued, “when people have a reason, an inducement, to commute out of the city for tax purposes, and that is what’s unique here that wouldn’t exist in any other state.” The Home Rule Act of 1973 prohibits the city from imposing a commuter tax unless Congress passes legislation to change that. Should such a prohibition be lifted, the money that the city would receive could be staggering given its status as home of the federal government, where hundreds of people come to work each day from suburban homes in Virginia and Maryland. This is actually the second time Issa has attended a D.C. hearing and mentioned, almost as a whim, that he wanted to take up an issue close to local residents’ hearts. He does, though, have a track record of follow-through. At a hearing on D.C.’s budget last summer, he said maybe the city should be able to control its own money independent of the Congressional appropriations process. He has been working since that time to make D.C. budget autonomy a reality.

A second St. Paul police officer is on paid administrative leave in connection with a YouTube video showing a man being kicked and roughed up while being arrested. Officer Jesse Zilge was placed on paid leave Wednesday after the video was posted that morning. He is seen alone with the man, Eric R. Hightower, for about half of the five-minute video. The second officer was put on paid leave Thursday, said police spokesman Howie Padilla. Police declined to name the officer. New information led police Chief Thomas Smith to place the second officer on leave, according to a news release. Police declined to say what the information was, citing the ongoing internal affairs investigation into the officers' actions. Officer Steven Petron is listed on the police report in Hightower's arrest, but is not the second officer on paid leave. Hightower, 30, was arrested Tuesday evening. He was suspected of making threats against his ex-girlfriend. The video shows Hightower being kicked in the chest by one officer and then being handcuffed and slammed onto the hood of a squad car by two officers. More officers also arrived at the scene. Hightower was charged Thursday in Ramsey County District Court with aggravated stalking, terroristic threats and property damage. He was released from jail on bond Thursday evening.

The VoD service, which debuted in February 2015, is free and ad supported. Sports and entertainment comprise the driver content on the platform. While there is still some time for the platform to make the transition from ad supported to subscription, the immediate task is to drive engagement. Talking about Hotstar, Nallen said, “It’s the kind of product that over time could become a subscription product. But that’s not what we’re doing right now. And most of the focus right now is on active engagement, principally on the Star entertainment product.” He added, “We had, I think in the first week, 40 million downloads of the Hotstar app, and we continue to get very significant engagement.” Star produces and owns all of entertainment programming, except movies that are on the movie channel. “Everything else is owned and produced. We have all the IPs for Star,” he said at the Deutsche Bank conference recently. He further stated that Hotstar has put 40,000 hours of programming on Hotstar. Talking about the entertainment business, Nallen said that Star has invested almost all of its $300 million profit in 2015 from the entertainment business into sports, which is a growing yet loss-making business for the network. However, Nallen is bullish about both the businesses as the network has reached peak investments in sports. “We have launched the sports business, where in 2015 we took almost entirely the profits we generated on the entertainment side, which was nearly $300 million, and invested it into the sports business, to launch the sports business. And what you’re now seeing, as I said earlier, is that the peak investment is gone, the entertainment trajectory continues and now sports is continuing to grow,” he noted. He also said that Star would reap the benefits of India’s growing ad and pay TV market. The India subsidiary is also getting all the support from the parent company to allow it to grow further. “The beauty of it, at least the way we’re looking at it, is we are providing a bit of a canopy to Star to allow it to grow, so I don’t have to and go through quarter-by-quarter metrics and how its performance is going. This is because that will just get in the way of its growth. The ad market is growing by 20% a year, cable and satellite households will grow by over 45% over the next three or four years, and Star will enjoy that ride along the way as the leader in the market,” he asserted. Summing up, Nallen said that Star is one of the top three growth engines for the company. He also sounded confident that the India business is on track to achieve two key milestones of touching $500 million EBITDA by 2018 and $1 billion by 2020. “So we have a high degree of confidence around the two milestones we set for Star of $500 million in EBITDA in 2018 and $1 billion shortly thereafter. Star is really, when I look at the growth engines of the company overall, one of the top three,” he averred.

Rolls released the performance specifications for its new entry-level car today, revealing that the 6.6-liter turbocharged V-12 will be rated at 563 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque. Piped through a ZF eight-speed automatic for smooth acceleration, the Ghost will dash to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 155 mph. That's a pretty impressive set of numbers given that even though the Ghost is the 'entry' Rolls-Royce, it's still a large car. At over 17.5 feet long, nearly 7 feet wide and just over 5 feet tall, it's smaller than the Phantom, but bigger than most other cars on the road. Though the car has only been seen in spy photos so far, it will look almost exactly like the 200EX Concept shown at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The new Ghost will also get an advanced four-corner air suspension system paired with an all-aluminum multilink front and rear suspension for a Rolls-Royce-appropriate combination of handling and ride quality. Combined with a new chassis management system and dynamic anti-roll stabilization, the new Ghost is sure to be the driver's choice among the Rolls-Royce line. Delivery of the Ghost will start in Europe later this year, with U.S. sales from the second quarter of 2010. Pricing for the U.S. hasn't been revealed yet, but UK buyers will see a £165,000 (roughly $270,000) price tag. [Motor Authority: Rolls-Royce releases new specs for upcoming Ghost]

What do you make when you've just moved into a new place? Cookies, of course. What kind of cookies? Hold on, the better question is: What aroma do you want to fill the house with? Something spicy, I said. And earthy. Something that smells, no, feels like home. So on a particularly cold winter day, we fired up the oven for the first time and christened the house with the heady aroma of Chinese Five Spice. As mentioned in the previous post, March is the month of the Asian Kitchen Project, in which I stock up my new kitchen pantry with key ingredients and tools that let me cook with a twist of Asian flavor no matter where I am in the world. In the last post I wrote about dried jujubes as an ingredient my kitchen can't do without, and today's essential ingredient is the unique Chinese blend of spices known as Five Spice. Despite its name, the blend is not always limited to five spices and counts star anise, fennel, cloves, cinnamon and Szechuan pepper as the usual contributors of its flavor profile with some recipes also including ground ginger, cumin and liquorice. In Chinese cooking, five spice powder is commonly used in meat marinades and to enhance stir-fries. At this point you may ask, What does Five Spice taste like? Let's see if we can sum it up in five words: It is pungent, warm, sweet, bitter, salty. It is, "Hello, I'm here!" Does that make sense? Now, these cookies are crispy on the outside, especially around the edges, and chewy on the inside. They are spicy, rich, deep, scrumptious and comforting with a glass of milk. The Chinese word I would use to describe them is "Xiang", meaning fragrant. I like this word because it employs the olfactory sense to describe taste. I'm glad to say that this cookie recipe is simple, requiring less than 10 ingredients and no more than 15 minutes in the oven. The aromatic flavor of these cookies without a doubt comes from the five spice, but other ingredients like whole spelt flour, coconut oil, coconut sugar and blackstrap molasses play a significant role too. I also made a gluten-free version by substituting spelt flour with buckwheat flour, which to me has nice nutty tones and an even deeper flavor. Compared to spelt, cookies made with buckwheat flour are soft, sandy and have an elegant melt-in-the-mouth quality. Both flours, in my opinion, are great vessels to deliver the wonderful flavors of blackstrap molasses and five spice combined. Don't forget to come back next Wednesday to read about another essential ingredient in my pantry as part of the Asian Kitchen Project series! In case you missed it, click here to read the previous post on dried jujubes. Vegan Five Spice Molasses Cookies The powerful Chinese Five Spice blend comes together with blackstrap molasses to give these cookies a unique taste and a chewy texture. I like the depth of flavor whole spelt flour gives to these cookies, but whole wheat flour will also work. To make them gluten-free, use buckwheat flour instead. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies. 2 1/2 cups (150g) whole spelt flour or (175g) buckwheat flour to make them gluten-free 1/2 cup coconut sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons five spice powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup melted coconut oil 1/4 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup unsulfured blackstrap molasses Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. You will need two large bowls, one to mix the dry ingredients in and the other for the wet ingredients, which need to be thoroughly whisked to combine. Then pour the dry mix into the wet mix and stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. A spatula is helpful for this action, but you should not be afraid to use at least one hand to knead the dough for a better and faster outcome. For a more uniform cookie size, use a measuring tablespoon to scoop out pieces of the dough, then fashion them into discs with your hands and arrange them, well apart, on the baking sheets. Press the back of a fork onto the cookies to create a pattern. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden. While you wait, enjoy the sweet-spicy aroma wafting out of the oven. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Brain cancer now leading childhood cancer killer NEW YORK - Brain cancer is now the deadliest childhood cancer in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says when most people think of childhood cancer, they think of leukemia. But leukemia treatment has improved and there's been a lack of progress on brain cancer. The CDC says in 2014, 445 child deaths were from leukemia, but 534 deaths were from brain cancer.

Fantastic. This is an underutilized site on a very prominent corner in Flatbush with very good transit access. I've been by this market and it's interesting and funky, but definitely underutilized...especially the city-subsidized surface parking lot. Look forward to seeing this rise. I'm pleasantly surprised it got past the community board without NIMBYs killing it over parking and height concerns. P.S. R8A districts allow buildings up to 120 feet...how are they going to build 14 stories?
