31 October 2014 Preparations to begin building Reading’s new pedestrian and cycle bridge start this week. Construction work on the new bridge itself will start in November. The bridge is expected to be completed in Summer 2015. Design Engine have worked with structural engineers Peter Brett Associates on the design of the new shared pedestrian and cycle bridge which will be located to the east of Fry’s Island, between the existing Caversham and Reading Bridges. It will provide a key new route for pedestrians and cyclists from Caversham into the town centre, and to and from Reading Station. On the northern side it will link to the existing paths running through Christchurch Meadows. To the south it will link to an improved riverside foot and cycle path and connect via Norman Place onto Vastern Road. When complete, it will be approximately 120m long, with a 68m span over the River Thames.

Letters should focus on the key developments presented and discussed at the meeting and are intended to rely largely on the work described at the meeting, rather than being fully referenced accounts of a field. For particularly large meetings it is preferable that more in-depth information is given on a few selected topics, rather than a brief account of absolutely everything presented. The main content of the Letters should focus on new research discoveries and the application of this knowledge. Manuscripts must be submitted by one of the authors of the manuscript, and should not be submitted by anyone on their behalf. The submitting author takes responsibility for the article during submission. To facilitate rapid publication and to minimize administrative costs, Science and Technology Development Journal prefers online submission. V.2. File formats The following word processor file formats are acceptable for the main manuscript document: � Microsoft word (DOC, DOCX) � Rich text format (RTF) � Portable document format (PDF) V.3. Preparing main manuscript text Length of article Letters should be between 600 to 1200 words. Overview of manuscript sections for Letters Manuscripts for Letters submitted to should be divided into the following sections (in this order): � Title page � Main text � List of abbreviations used (if any) � Competing interests The Accession Numbers of any nucleic acid sequences, protein sequences or atomic coordinates cited in the manuscript should be provided, in square brackets and include the corresponding database name; for example, [EMBL:AB026295, EMBL:AC137000, DDBJ:AE000812, GenBank:U49845, PDB:1BFM, Swiss-Prot:Q96KQ7, PIR:S66116]. The databases for which we can provide direct links are: EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (EMBL), DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), GenBank at the NCBI (GenBank), Protein Data Bank (PDB), Protein Information Resource (PIR) and the Swiss-Prot Protein Database (Swiss-Prot). Note that there should not be a reference list, and references are to be avoided (the odd one can be cited in the text if it is essential and describes work from labs other than those cited for giving talks at the meeting). If abstracts from the meeting are published in print or on the web, a single reference / link should be given to where they can be found, usually as the meeting is first mentioned, in the forms � 'the 39th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, Washington DC, December 11-15, 1999 (abstracts are freely available online [http://www.ascb.org/ascb/])' � 'the 39th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, Washington DC, December 11-15, 1999 (abstracts published in a Supplement to Molecular Biology of the Cell 1999)' This should list the title of the article, the full names, institutional addresses and email addresses for all authors. The corresponding author should also be indicated. A short, unstructured, single paragraph of 25-40 words giving an indication of the meeting on which the report is based; if it is based on one symposium at a big meeting, say so here. Three to ten keywords representing the main content of the article. This should contain the body of the article, and may be broken into subsections with short, informative headings. Headings should describe the section contents but there should be no more than four in an article. For each speaker mentioned, it is important to provide their full name, institute/company and country. Speakers should be referred to in one of the following ways: � David Botstein (Stanford University Medical School, USA) emphasized the importance of... � As detailed by Gerry Rubin (University of California Berkeley, USA)... � is under way at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (poster presented by Pierre G�nczy) On second mention, the speaker becomes just 'Botstein' (no first name, no affiliation). The text should not contain information about the lecture hall, food, weather or other non-scientific matters. If 'earlier' work is referred to, whether or not it has been published, it should simply be referred to as 'published work from the lab of Tom Pollard (The Salk Institute)', or 'Botstein's earlier work', according to whether or not the author of the earlier work has been mentioned already. If the report author mentions their own talk, or work they were involved in, they should use 'I' or 'we', rather than the disingenuous 'Author X reported'. LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS If abbreviations are used in the text they should be defined in the text at first use, and a list of abbreviations can be provided, which should precede the competing interests and authors' contributions. A competing interest exists when your interpretation of data or presentation of information may be influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations.

PREPARING ILLUSTRATIONS AND FIGURES Illustrations should be provided as separate files, not embedded in the text file. Each figure should include a single illustration and should fit on a single page in portrait format. If a figure consists of separate parts, it is important that a single composite illustration file be submitted which contains all parts of the figure. There is no charge for the use of color figures. The following file formats can be accepted: � PDF (preferred format for diagrams) � DOCX/DOC (single page only) � PPTX/PPT (single slide only) � PNG (preferred format for photos or images) STDJ will edit all figures supplied by the author. For this reason it is especially important that authors should supply figures in vector form, to facilitate such editing. The legends should be included in the main manuscript text file at the end of the document, rather than being a part of the figure file. For each figure, the following information should be provided: Figure number (in sequence, using Arabic numerals - i.e. Figure 1, 2, 3 etc); short title of figure (maximum 15 words); detailed legend, up to 300 words. Please note that it is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain permission from the copyright holder to reproduce figures or tables that have previously been published elsewhere. Each table should be numbered and cited in sequence using Arabic numerals (i.e. Table 1, 2, 3 etc.). Tables should also have a title (above the table) that summarizes the whole table; it should be no longer than 15 words. Detailed legends may then follow, but they should be concise. Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order. Smaller tables considered to be integral to the manuscript can be pasted into the end of the document text file, in A4 portrait or landscape format. These will be typeset and displayed in the final published form of the article. Such tables should be formatted using the 'Table object' in a word processing program to ensure that columns of data are kept aligned when the file is sent electronically for review; this will not always be the case if columns are generated by simply using tabs to separate text. Columns and rows of data should be made visibly distinct by ensuring that the borders of each cell display as black lines. Commas should not be used to indicate numerical values. Color and shading may not be used; parts of the table can be highlighted using symbols or bold text, the meaning of which should be explained in a table legend. Tables should not be embedded as figures or spreadsheet files. Larger datasets or tables too wide for a landscape page can be uploaded separately as additional files. Additional files will not be displayed in the final, laid-out PDF of the article, but a link will be provided to the files as supplied by the author. Tabular data provided as additional files can be uploaded as an Excel spreadsheet (.xls ) or comma separated values (.csv). As with all files, please use the standard file extensions.

Award-winning rapper Kwesta throughout his illustrious career has accomplished things that have placed him on the map and front line of the music industry. Born Senzo Vilakazi, he's been in the business of rap for 16 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Just this year he hosted a live concert titled ‘The 16th Bar Legacy Tour’ in August at Carnival City Big Top Arena. The award-winning rapper has now unlocked a new chapter - the 17th bar - in his career, a global partnership with Bisquit & Dubouché as their ambassador. In celebration of his accomplishments and his undeniable legacy, Bisquit & Dubouché and Kwesta hosted guests for a unique opportunity that saw the musician narrate his musical journey that continues to see him succeed in the industry. His career began with him being unable to write a 16 bar, which is pretty unbelievable considering he has now been hailed as one of the best in the game, producing certified hits. “The story of how I got here?” The rapper has to pause and sip before telling his story. “I needed to write a 16, but the problem was I didn’t know what a 16 was and ended up doing 34 bars. “A few days later, Slikour called and said, ‘I think you should come back, we want to chat to you.’ In that moment, my life changed.” His life really changed - working with Slikour (Siya Metane) and Lebo “Shugasmakx” Mothibe elevated Kwesta from just another broer from Katlehong to someone worth taking note of. At the 17th Bar, Kwesta got intimate and personal with an immersive and stripped-down show – a performance in his career like no other, which brought the attending guests inside his music, the moments behind each song created and where he is headed next. Breaking down some of his biggest moments, such as leaving the stable hands of Slikour and Shugasmakx and having to figure things out on his own as an independent artist, he toyed around with various sounds as he evolved into Kwesta. Kwesta spoke on how he followed his instincts to success, which is also in line with the progressive spirit and the disruptive cognac pioneered by Alexandre Bisquit and Adrien Dubouché. The brand enables them to tell their own stories and leave behind their own legacies “Much like Bisquit & Dubouché, Kwesta’s story also combines the same defining characteristics which form part of his legacy,” said Ryan George, Campari Group Marketing Manager South Africa. “We’re proud to have Kwesta as our global ambassador and to feature him in the international A Story To Sip TV Commercial.” As Kwesta keeps elevating, fans should definitely still expect to hear his hoarse voice, after all, he just bagged a South African Music Award for his collaborative album with Kabza de Small. Why stop now?

When bringing screen printing in-house, the most popular question from customers is how and what they will use to make screens. If you are just beginning screen printing in-house, it is heavily recommended that you rely on a 3rd party for producing your screens. There are different types of third party sources we would recommend, which are dedicated screen makers or screen printing companies in your area that print on T-shirts. The reason we recommend producers of printed T-shirts is because they are not only the most common but will not see you as a threat to business (as long as you aren’t in the saturated market of T-shirt printing). There are a litany of resources on YouTube and google for how to make screens which can be broken down into the following processes with niche equipment. To begin, you will need the screen frames. You can easily purchase them by size on a screen printing accessories website. They may also be pre-stretched with the mesh you require. The mesh is the material you stretch over the screen that needs to be matched with the ink you plan on using, which is to say the thread count should match the viscosity of your ink. Once you have the screen and mesh ready, you will need to apply the emulsion that is specified in the TDS for your ink. The emulsion should be coated on your screen. You will also require an image that must be printed on film. The image must be opaque. To reach the required opacity, you will need to use a digital printer that is more advanced (and more expensive) than your average printer. You will also require imaging software, such as Adobe. The image of your print on your film should be sized 1:1. Once you have your image you will need to burn it onto the screen using an exposure unit. These units typically use intense lights and vacuum seal the screen onto the projector of light. Once your image is burned onto the screen, you must use a pressure washer on the screen to remove any residue. Then you’re ready to print!

About a year ago, gold hit its all-time highs. At some point, it was trading at about $2,063 an ounce. Since then, it has been moving sideways. Some investors could make the conclusion that the gold rally is over. We are going to tell you why they are wrong. And how to profit from one of the biggest gold bull markets in history. As a reminder, here at The Financial Star, we bring to your attention the most important investment trends… the ones that, in our opinion, you should have on your radar today. And gold remains one of the most misunderstood asset classes… which to us means that there are a lot of opportunities here. Before we get into the details, here’s the bottom line: gold is not going anywhere. In fact, it could become one of the key assets for the coming years. And you might want to put gold on your investment radar. Inflation Is at Record Highs Prices are soaring across the board. From gas to cars and even homes—they are all more than 20% expensive than they were a year ago, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This explains why the total inflation in the US remains at multi-year highs. And inflation expectations are very high. An August survey of over 1,300 households in the US showed that they expect inflation to hover around 5% per year in the near future. Besides this, consumers have also said that they were worse off financially than a year ago… and that they expect financial issues like the risk of unemployment to continue. This doesn’t sound like a robust recovery. And if the Fed thinks that it is OK to start pulling off its massive stimulus, the US economy could be in for a wild ride. This is the on-the-ground reality that both the Fed and a lot of market commentators miss. They focus too much on the recovery and not enough on the fact that the Covid pandemic isn’t over. On the contrary, we could be looking at potentially years of Covid endemic. This means that even if the world successfully deals with the current strains of Covid, the battle against the virus could take years, if not decades. This is why investors who see this don’t sell their gold… In fact, ETFs’ gold holdings are still at record highs. Investors hold over 100 million troy ounces of gold as of writing. And, in our opinion, this trend will only accelerate as more investors pay attention to the threat of a prolonged battle with Covid. Or whatever virus shakes the global economy next. In China, demand for physical gold is soaring. Commerzbank analysts say that in the first half of the year, over 130 tons of gold were moved to China from Hong Kong. Another 100 tons were shipped to China from Switzerland. In May, China recorded the second-highest level of demand since December 2019. In Europe, investors have been adding to their gold positions, too. In July alone, they added almost $1 billion into gold ETFs. This is the trend that we have been observing in the market. While the US investors are looking at the Fed, their peers overseas are holding gold and adding to their positions. We do not know where interest rates are going to be in a year, let alone long-term. But we do know this. The global economic recovery is still fragile. So if the Fed starts pulling the rug under the economy, it could trigger a downturn or a recession. Which is a scenario where gold could shine as a safe haven. Even if the Fed does nothing and inflation continues to run on the high side, a lot of investors will wake up to the reality that they also need gold. These “stabilized” levels of inflation are still at multi-year highs. And even though there is some variability month to month, inflation hasn’t been this high in a very long time. And it could run higher, especially if we are going to enter another “Covid season” this winter. Another potential wave of Covid could trigger more lockdowns. Economic growth could become uncertain, and unemployment might start rising again. So if you ask us, the most likely scenario for the end of this year is even more stimulus, lower interest rates, and higher gold prices. The market doesn’t take this scenario into account yet. It’s too attached to day-to-day price fluctuations and month-to-month inflation numbers. The bigger picture, however, is much more serious. And it could provide a perfect setup for gold for years to come. Thank you for your loyal readership, The Financial Star team

Range anxiety, high cost, lack of charging stations, safety concerns… These are the main things that consumers have to overcome before switching to an electric vehicle (EV). The actual list is much longer, but the things from the above list may not remain problems for too long. Today, a typical internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle has a range of 400 miles. EVs aren’t there yet, but their average driving range is around 300 miles. And it has been growing… This range is more than enough for daily commute. However, it may not be enough for a long road trip. You have to plan your trip carefully, checking all the chargers along the way. Moreover, don’t forget that the charge takes from 30 minutes to 12 hours. It can easily turn into an overnight stay somewhere you didn’t quite plan to spend so much time. We understand that… and so do EV makers. This is why leading car makers are developing a new technology that will change the EV industry forever. New Battery Tech Could Double the Average Range EV makers are about to mass-produce a new battery with 745 miles in range, which can be charged in as little as 10 minutes. Not too bad! An average driver covering 30 to 40 miles a day will need to recharge this battery every three weeks or so. The technology is called a solid-state battery. They are more compact and cheaper than the current-generation ones. Best of all, the technology is quite established. And it is getting massive adoption. Toyota, the second-largest carmaker in the world, is adopting the new battery type with a plan for mass production in 2027. Other major battery producers are also advancing the technology. Chinese battery maker CATL is almost ready to launch commercial-scale semi-solid battery production. South Korean Samsung SDI has already developed a fully automated pilot line for these new batteries. The new batteries lack an anode, which consists of graphite, silicon, or similar minerals. This helps to reduce the size, weight, cost, and charging time. However, the assembly of the batteries is more challenging. It requires special facilities to reduce moisture exposure and limit oxygen access in the battery pack. Other than that, the battery is still full of critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and others. They are still an essential part of the new batteries, which should take over the market in the coming years. This is why we still think that mass adoption of EVs is unstoppable. It’s a megatrend with high potential in the years to come. Bloomberg estimated that the global EV fleet will reach 730 million by 2040. It’s a 26x growth from around 27 million at the end of 2022. These new vehicles will require massive amounts of lithium, nickel, copper, cobalt, and others. Industry insiders already indicate a massive shortage of these minerals. This could ultimately lead to higher prices for these commodities. This is where we think investors can take advantage of the rising prices and invest accordingly. The Financial Star will keep providing insights on EV adoption and the companies with the most potential to benefit from this megatrend. Thank you for your loyal readership, The Financial Star team

Intersections: Indigenous Textiles of the Americas Saturday, August 8, 2020 From the Andes to the Great Lakes, textiles reflect cultural narratives of community and tradition. This exhibit analyzes select textiles from the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection and the Little Eagle Arts Foundation, a Ho-Chunk arts organization, to provide a deeper understanding of the lifeways, movement, and stories of these objects. It is through these intersections that scholars may trace Native cultural practices and oral traditions throughout the western hemisphere.

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday. But since having Maverick, I have found a reason to celebrate every holiday, and Halloween is no different. I love celebrating with festive PJs, fun accessories, and themed drinks and snacks. And so, I am sharing some festive finds and yummy recipes that are perfect for this spooky season. Maverick is growing so fast, I feel like I cannot keep up with buying him clothes. By the time he wears something new, he’s already grown out of it. So, I am constantly grabbing him PJs, and I love getting festive with them. I like to get a new book with each set of holiday PJs that makes for a fun nighttime routine that he enjoys. It is these little traditions that make for the best memories. Amazon is a great place to find some fun pajamas for the kids (I personally like the brands Burt’s Bees and Leveret). Target, Carter’s, and Walmart also has some great options for any holiday. I am tagging some of my favorite Halloween PJs for the kids below. Now I want to talk about these earrings. Y’all- I cannot get enough of these GORGEOUS statement beauties. Sometimes, festive accessories can be too cheesy, but these are not that. These Amazon Prime finds are my favorite this season. They are made very well, super durable, and all under $10 with free 2-day shipping! Plus, they are super similar to the Baublebar Halloween pieces that are $50! Such a steal! It is the perfect way to bring holiday cheer in a classy way. I paired these skeleton babies with a gorgeous sheer polka dot blouse. You can also (pumpkin) spice up any sweater with your favorite version of these Halloween earrings and you are ready for trick-or-treating with the kids or enjoying Halloween spirits with friends. Speaking of these Halloween spirits: let’s talk about cocktails! It is always so much fun to sip on something festive for any holiday. So for this Halloween, I have crafted a spooky beverage that will liven up any ghostly party. I like to call this purple drink Witches Brew, and can be made with or without BOOze. Witches Brew Cocktail - 2 oz Vodka - 2 oz Cranberry Juice - 1 oz Blue Curacao - 2 oz Lemon-Lime Soda Use your favorite vodka for my favorite version of this drink (Tito’s is my go-to). But to make it kid-friendly, turn this cocktail into a mocktail by replacing the vodka with more lemon-lime soda and use blue curacao syrup instead of the liqueur. For some added flare: place in a festive glass rimmed with colored sugar and place candy eyeballs in the drink. (I found these candy eyeballs at Target.)

“The longer you look back, the farther you can look forward” – Sir Winston Churchill It is a well-accepted fact that many communities were changed, and even shaped, by the impact of the First World War. From coast to coast, the war claimed the lives of thousands of Canadians, tested the industrial capacity of Canada’s cities, and strained federal and municipal politics. The Waterloo Region was no exception to the sweeping effect of the war upon their unique society. The Canadian Censuses, in 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, and 1911, reveal several trends that indicate that the Waterloo Region had a unique cultural and economic landscape in Southern Ontario. This first section discussed who the people of the Waterloo Region were ethnically, religiously, economically, and politically before the outbreak of the war. In order to understand the events and reactions of those living in the Region during the First World War, it is useful to develop an understanding of the people residing in the Region prior to 1914.

Winston’s Diary, a blog written by “a job seeking graduate student [of literature] who will remain anonymous until tenured, rejected, or so sick of academia that I leave it,” describes “the dreaded Theory question” at MLA interviews. “Winston” fears that answers to that question will reveal political leanings, causing conservative job candidates to be turned down: According to ìthe rules,î potential employers arenít supposed to be able to ask you about your politics. But, given the highly politicized nature of theory, how can the theory question not constitute a question about politics? If I start talking about I. A. Richardsís influence on my work, I reveal myself as a literary conservative. And if I talk about A. C. Bradleyís influence on my reading of Shakespeare, I think that makes me a literary paleo-conservative. Whereas if I mention Foucault, or Said, or Derrida, Iím a fellow traveler. In many ways, the answer to the theory question reveals the candidateís politics, or at least the candidateís politics in terms of literary scholarship (though the two generally go hand-in-hand, in my experience). Methinks “Winston” doth protest too much. I seriously doubt anything like this will happen. I had seven job interviews the year I was hired for this job. No one asked me a theory question, “dreaded” or otherwise. Instead, I was asked about my research, my teaching, and a little about the administrative work I did as a graduate student. The committees that expressed the most interest in me were from departments that had faculty who did work similar to mine. In my case that meant, mostly, book history and humanities computing. On one of my campus visits I did mention Judith Butler once, in the context of something completely unrelated to my dissertation on eighteenth-century Methodism, but aside from that, I can’t think of a single situation in which I felt I was being tested regarding my politics. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most hiring committees don’t care if you name-drop theorists or not. But they’d like to know that you’re keeping up with the latest developments in your field, and if the only scholars you mention as influential were born in the 19th century, you’re not likely to make that impression.

This collection of pages supersedes Washington detours, a set of pages from a predecessor site. As before, these pages are dedicated to the Irish uncle of an old friend. One time Uncle Dan was hopelessly lost driving with the family in a strange city (well, Indianapolis, really). And he happened to come to a street named Parnell. That looks promising, he said, and turned into it. I have no idea whether this maneuver helped or not, but everyone made it back to Ohio eventually. Last updated: Sunday, 18 June 2017 13:09

troops are conducting a coordinated operation to hunt down Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants along the Afghan border. "Pakistan doesn’t have the drone technology. Therefore, we have to depend on them (US forces)," a senior Pakistani government official told IslamOnline.net, requesting anonymity for the sensitivity of the issue. For more details click here The latest such attack targeted a house in the northwestern Bannu district, the first US missile strike outside the rugged tribal regions. "The attack is part of a coordinated operation jointly launched by Pakistani and US forces along Pak-Afghan border," confirmed the government official. Powered by ScribeFire.

Let’s talk about your... pelvic floor. You may hear me talk about lifting your pelvic floor in classes or in videos and wonder to yourself….what the heck is she talking about? Today I will fill you in on what you need to know about your pelvic floor and then make sure you stay tuned for Part 2 - Let’s Talk about Kegels for all you need to know to properly perform pelvic floor contractions/lifts. The pelvic floor is comprised of the muscles that form a figure eight from the pubic bone to the tailbone. Your pelvic floor supports and wraps around the underside of your bladder, uterus, and rectum. No matter how great of shape you are in, these muscles become weakened and stretched by pregnancy and a vaginal delivery. Some of the fun myriad of issues of a weak pelvic floor include low back pain, pelvic pain, prolapse (where your organs sag due to lack of support), incontinence, and bowel dysfunction. I know, you may be thinking, “I had a Cesarean section so my pelvic floor is fine.” Well, let me just leave you with a little more info. You should still be concerned about the strength of your pelvic floor if you’ve had a C-section because the weight of baby, especially in the last few months, was held up by your pelvic floor. I’ve also heard from women who have had C-sections and then successful VBACs that they had more issues after their C-Sections due to the irritation of the nerves that connect to the pelvic floor. Next up on the blog we’ll talk about how strengthen your pelvic floor by performing pelvic floor contractions/lifts, most commonly referred to as a Kegel.

This is a really old website that I still had laying around since some people still seem to be interested in the files I'm serving here. Given that quite a few script kiddies have taken this to be their hacking playground I've finally decided to convert the old blog into a simple (minimal?), old school, static webpage. Sorry kids! Go play on HTB! I'm keeping everything as it was, even if most if it probably makes no sense anymore. Enjoy! I'm Daniele Rapagnani, a 22 years old computer science enthusiast and musician (for what it's worth...). I also have a very faint perception of my person and so I hate writing short descriptions of myself. This is a little software I made a long time ago because I needed an easy way on Windows to scan for files in a directory and to output their names in a plain text file. This is basically what it does, more features were added later on though: My girlfriend needed an easy way to improve her kanji skills while studying for her japanese exam: what a perfect chance to prove her that all those geek-talks are sometimes useful! (but arguing at a resturant about the difference between digital and analog is not.) Kanji Trainer is the result of this terrible attempt to boost my ego: a simple, extensible, software that picks a kanji at random and lets you guess its meaning (whether in your mind or by text). The software keeps also track of the average answer time and shows the kanji's pronunciation. It is far from complete or bug free (in fact, it has many) but I’m keeping it here because someone may still find it useful, so don’t blame me if it doesn’t work for you! Kanji Trainer is available in Italian (18-27 modules) and English (18-22 modules). The modules are all based on the book “Corso di Lingua Giapponese per Italiani” by prof. Saito Mariko. Download ITA Download ENG I’ve started to port Aleph One again from scratch at the end of April 2010, quite some work has been done, check the blog as I plan to post a work log there. I’ve always been a Marathon fan, it was one of the first games I’ve played as a kid on my Macintosh LC III and I instantly fell in love with it! Still today I think it is one of the few games that managed to blend so many great elements in such a seamless way creating a unique atmosphere. Considering my emotional attachment I wanted to be able to play it everywhere, so porting it to the PSP seemed like a good idea. It was. But it took far more time than I’ve expected because of my poor knowledge of the PSP kernel/system and of the AlephOne source code. As a result the port I have done so far is much more of a beta even if it allows you to play Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity from start to end without losing much of the original enjoyment (I tested it personally). The biggest limitation is that this runs on Kernel 1.50 only (that is always more of a problem on today’s custom firmwares) but it has been reported to work with LEDA. Originally a Kernel > 1.50 version was planed but given the cold response of the PSP community my motivation slowly faded away into other projects, but I deeply thank anyone that sent me words of appreciation for this project, it really means a lot to me. NOTE: High resolution must be manually activated in the options or in-game (pressing L+R+TRIANGLE) Download Marathon 2 Download Marathon Infinity Download Source

If you haven’t already seen it, this photograph is a PR nightmare for the Conservatives. It shows a 4-year-old boy with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on a Leeds hospital floor because of a bed shortage. It’s an image that’ll resonate with any parent, but it’s particularly heart-breaking for anyone who’s taken their child to A&E in a similar situation: it was just a few months ago that my own son was being investigated for and later treated for pneumonia, so I’m particularly aware of how awful and frightening the wait can be. It’s the kind of image that can change the path of elections, so the Conservatives have reacted very strongly. What’s interesting about that is the way they’re doing it. They appear to have activated a very powerful misinformation machine to spread outright lies. Let’s make something clear first. There’s no doubt that the image is genuine. The Chief Medical Officer at the hospital has already apologised. The Chief Executive has made a personal apology to the child’s mother. That’s not what people are seeing on social media. On Twitter and on Facebook they’re seeing the same message from multiple unconnected accounts, many of which have lain dormant for some time: A good friend of mine is a senior nursing sister at Leeds Hospital – the boy shown on the floor by the media was in fact put there by his mother who then took photos on her mobile phone and uploaded it to media outlets before he climbed back on his trolley. Here’s how it looks on Twitter. The same cut-and-pasted text has since been retweeted manually by minor public figures such as former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen. But the initial rush of publication has come from what appears to be a centrally co-ordinated network of social media accounts. The same message is being posted to carefully selected Facebook groups, as Marc Owen Jones explains (with screenshots as proof). Facebook groups are a very effective way of targeting voters of particular demographics, not least because nobody outside the group usually sees what you’re posting there. In one example, Jason Crosby pastes the tweet on the FB group for “Seaham Have Your Say”. Seaham have your say is a page with 24k followers serving the North Eastern coastal town of Seaham. His post gets 91 comments and 26 shares. And it’s making its way to the right-wing press. Here’s Allison Pearson of the Telegraph. Pearson also claims that the mother of the child is upset that “Corbyn politicised it”, which is at odds with the claim that the mother staged the photos for political reasons. [Update, later that day: Pearson has now deleted the tweets without explanation or apology, presumably after a word with a libel lawyer.] To reiterate: the hospital has already apologised. From the BBC: Dr Yvette Oade, chief medical officer at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “Our hospitals are extremely busy at the moment and we are very sorry that Jack’s family had a long wait in our Emergency Department.” She added: “We are extremely sorry that there were only chairs available in the treatment room, and no bed. This falls below our usual high standards, and for this we would like to sincerely apologise to Jack and his family.” What we’re seeing here is deeply disturbing. In response to a story it doesn’t like, the Conservative Party – or more likely, a separate organisation with plausible deniability of its connections to the Conservative Party – is trying to bury it not with spin, but with outright lies and defamation. Those lies are coming from a range of sock puppet accounts on multiple social networks and their message is then amplified by tame journalists. This is no different from the fake-news chants of Donald Trump: the goal is to delegitimise the media, to push the narrative that everything you read critical of The Party is a lie. And it’s a key tactic of fascist politics, which is why it’s so frightening. Fascism does not begin with jackboots. It begins with creating a “them” and an “us” and then delegitimising the institutions that limit state power such as the judiciary and the press. They ridicule the judges, claiming they represent special interests and are “enemies of the people”, as The Daily Mail put it. They accuse the press of bias and of lying, accusing them of speaking on behalf of the “them” against the “us”. If the press is not compliant, it is threatened into silence (this week alone the Conservatives have threatened the licence of Channel 4 and the funding of the BBC) or dismissed as fraudulent. Our current Prime Minister is connected to former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, a proud supporter of far-right extremists who wants to “destroy the state”: “I want to bring everything crashing down and destroy all of today’s establishment,” he says. Delegitimising the press is a key part of that strategy. The US Holocaust Museum famously lists 14 early warning signs of fascism. They are: - Powerful and continuing nationalism - Disdain for human rights - Identification of enemies as a unifying cause - Supremacy of the military - Rampant sexism - Controlled mass media - Obsession with national security - Religion and government intertwined - Corporate power protected - Labour power suppressed - Disdain for intellectuals and the arts - Obsession with crime and punishment - Rampant cronyism and corruption - Fraudulent elections How many can you tick? We don’t have all 14 yet, but many of the items in the list should give us pause. More than any other party, The Conservatives seem to be taking us down a road that we’ve seen many other countries travel. We know all too well where that road can lead.

Mike Johnson has only been Speaker of the House for a short period of time and it already looks like he may not be long for the job. This bible-thumper actually reached across the aisle and came up with a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown which left the raving lunatics of the GOP foaming at the mouth. We have no sympathy for this person. He’s an open christian nationalist who wants nothing more than to turn this country into a theocracy. Not only that, he’s a creationist and believes in the rapture. Like we’ve said before, if you believe that nonsense you should be permanently banned from the corridors of power. He has openly opined that he thinks God wanted him to be Speaker. Sound familiar? George W. Bush said that God wanted him to be President and now evangelical whack jobs have produced a propaganda video proclaiming that God created TFG to be America’s ‘Caretaker’. We think that sanctimonious Mike Johnson bears a striking resemblance to another little bible thumper from the ’60s: little Davey from the Davey and Goliath stop motion claymation puppet show that preached the bible to kids every Sunday morning. Little Davey, along with his dog Goliath and his holier-than-thou family shoved their religion down every child’s throat. Just watch some of these old shows, especially the ‘lost episode’ about the Polka Dot Tie. The cringe is massive. And now America has a little Davey second in line for the Presidency. May Zeus help us all!

If you are looking for the Birdie app, there might be multiple very different apps that could be the one that you are in search of. One of such apps is by Ivo and Vasco Nunes. They started the Birdie project in 2013 to bring a great native Twitter experience to the new elementary desktop. Thanks to their hard work, and the work of many other contributors, plus some great initial design work from incredibly talented people (including Daniel Foré), the Birdie app for Twitter saw its first release back in March 2013. Under Ivo’s direction, the release was a great success and was followed by several incremental updates in the 1.0 series. In the spring of 2015, Ivo announced that Birdie was going to be abandoned unless a developer would be willing to take over the project. Nathan Dyer, the developer of another popular elementary app, jumped at the opportunity, and will be working hard to craft the future of Birdie. Watch the birdie app This Birdie app is NOT the popular Birdie Slots app (Watch the Birdie). If that’s what you are looking for, check out the Watch the Birdie slot app at Casinoapp.eu. It’s included in multiple other casino apps that are downloadable in iTunes or Google Play. You’re not the first to get this app consused with either the Birdie Golf app or the Birdie Twitter app, obviously because of the title that’s more or less exactly the same!

This book is about institutional change, how to recognize it, when it occurs, and the mechanisms that cause it to happen. It is the first book to identify problems with the "new institutional analysis," which has emerged as one of the dominant approaches to the study of organizations, economic and political sociology, comparative political economy, politics, and international relations. The book confronts several important problems in institutional analysis, and offers conceptual, methodological, and theoretical tools for resolving them. It argues that the paradigms of institutional analysis--rational choice, organizational, and historical institutionalism--share a set of common analytic problems. Chief among them: failure to define clearly what institutional change is; failure to specify the mechanisms responsible for institutional change; and failure to explain adequately how "ideas" other than self-interests affect institutional change. To demonstrate the utility of his tools for resolving the problems of institutional analysis, Campbell applies them to the phenomenon of globalization. In doing so, he not only corrects serious misunderstandings about globalization, but also develops a new theory of institutional change. This book advances the new institutional analysis by showing how the different paradigms can benefit from constructive dialogue and cross-fertilization.

There are various infections today that are seen as tropical diseases. But historically, these were the diseases that only affected people in extremely cold climates or perhaps temperate areas (the regions between tropic and polar circles). Diseases typical of this are: hookworm infections (which probably infect more than 600 million people around the world) and malaria (mosquito-borne infectious disease which is contracted by mosquito bites). As well, there is the rare lagochilascaris minor disease (but as yet there has only been one fatality reported from this, so it really is extremely rare). A lot of these tropical diseases in today’s modern world are really not an issue due to major advancements in health and sanitations, personal hygiene and diet. As well, today these diseases – if they do occur – are not climate-controlled so there has been talk of renaming Tropical Diseases to Geographic Medicine or even Third World Medicine.

While dual-enrollment programs have soared in recent years, many community colleges have also taken on additional collaborative initiatives with K-12 school systems, such as career workshops, outreach to high school staff, summer camps and more. Hillsborough Community College in Florida, for example, augments its large dual-enrollment program with FUSE, a pathways program that connects high school students to HCC and to the University of South Florida. FUSE offers guaranteed admission to the university to eligible graduates of eight associate-granting institutions including HCC, says Ginger Clark, vice president of academic affairs. Students must agree to complete an associate degree within three years in a major aligned with the region’s economic needs, such as information technology, life sciences, health sciences, advanced manufacturing and engineering. Now in its second semester, there are about 600 HCC students in FUSE. LEAP Tampa Bay, a network of business, education, philanthropy and government partners, provided $3 million in scholarships last year for HCC students entering a FUSE pathway and for HCC graduates to enroll in USF. The scholarships are important because they allow students to attend HCC full time, says Karen Griffin, director of HCC’s associate of arts programs. Without that aid, students with jobs and family obligations would take much longer to graduate. The message: college is possible FUSE is just one of several K-12 initiatives aimed at creating “seamless transition opportunities” for secondary school students, Clark says. The Hillsborough Education Foundation also manages scholarships from Florida’s Take Stock in Children program to help low-income high school students with a GPA of at least 2.5. HCC counselors begin working students in middle school “to instill in them the belief that they can go to college,” Clark says. “The idea of college comes alive for them; they believe really can do this.” As part of HCC’s outreach activities, middle school students come to the college for campus tours and sessions on career options, what it takes to succeed in college and financial aid options. Similar sessions are held at middle and high schools targeted to minorities and financially disadvantaged students. An HCC employee based at the school district works with counselors and students at middle and high schools. HCC also sends a financial team to help high school students and their parents with the FAFSA and enrollment coordinators to answer questions about getting into college. “We try to be on site as much as possible,” Griffin says. Every fall, the college invites high school guidance counselors to meet the president and learn about new programs and services. “It’s an ongoing dialogue,” Griffin says. While K-12 outreach “does build the enrollment pipeline for us,” that’s not the driving motivation for HCC, Clark says. The main goal is getting students who might not have considered postsecondary education to see it as a viable option. “We look at this in holistic manner,” Clark says. “Once they get here, the challenges are typically around academic and financial issues, so we’re addressing this at the middle and high school level.” “The more we can get the word out, the better prepared they will be,” adds Griffin. For example, students who plan to go to college will be more likely to take algebra II in high school. Supporting dual enrollment All of these efforts go hand-in-hand with dual enrollment, which has grown significantly at HCC, currently encompassing more than 25,400 credit hours, the majority earned by high school students on HCC campus. The extensive series of K-12 partnerships launched by El Paso Community College (EPCC) in Texas are also aimed at bolstering the college’s robust dual-credit program and early college high school. One key example is the El Paso Collaborative for Academic Excellence partnership, which looks at creating a pathway from public schools to EPCC and to the University of Texas at El Paso. Much of EPCC’s efforts to connect with K-12 are driven by the need to improve educational attainment in a region where 80 percent of the population is Hispanic and nearly one-quarter of families live below the poverty level. Data on those efforts show that EPCC has made a measurable impact on completion of degrees and certificates, increased transfer rates, improved student engagement and retention, and enhanced college readiness. “Results are showing that these efforts are increasing the numbers of students who pursue postsecondary education and creating the mindset the college is necessary and accessible to all citizens,” says EPCC President William Serrata, a member of the American Association of Community Colleges board of directors. EPCC faculty, staff and counselors actively participate in career day presentations at elementary, middle and high schools to encourage students to go to college and learn about degrees, majors and job opportunities. The college’s campuses regularly host youths on campus for scavenger hunts, STEM expos, academic competitions and other activities. And it’s Adopt an Elementary School Program builds strong elementary and college connections through campus tours, workshops, presentations, outreach programs and parental involvement. “A student is never too young to learn the importance of going to college,” Serrata says. “Reaching out to elementary school students and their parents allows them to learn that higher education is within their reach and we build a college-going culture.” Operation College Bound, a partnership between EPCC and the Socorro Independent School District, calls for EPCC’s recruitment and student services team, along with its higher education partners, to visit local high schools to share college and career information and lead interactive activities with students. Some of EPCC’s other K-12 initiatives include: - The Tejano Empowerment Network, which creates a college-going culture among Hispanic and other male students of color. - A partnership with the STTE Foundation, K-12 schools and other higher educational institutions to host an annual STEAM/STEM fiesta to expose nearly 200 middle school students to EPCC programs. - A program in conjunction with the Texas Workforce Commission, through which several hundred high schools students participate in competitions offered by EPCC programs in business, computer program and a “living on Mars” architecture competition. - The Prudential Math In New Directions Explorers Camp, launched in 2017, which brings middle and high school students to EPCC for a week of hands-on activities, and the Prudential Mathmazing Fair brings math-related games and activities to elementary schools. Preparing for college In Massachusetts, Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) has a broad array of K-12 initiatives, most designed to improve access to the college. A federal Upward Bound program supports MWCC’s efforts to work with first-generation and lower-income students, starting in middle schools with a focus on STEM. The goal is to “change the narrative that happens at home,” in which parents want their children to work and contribute to the family and don’t see college as an imperative, says Fagan Forhan, assistant dean of K-12 partnerships and civic engagement. In addition to tutoring, mentoring and college tours, participating students can attend a five- or six-week summer residential program at Fitchburg State University, where they take classes in math and science and do career exploration activities. Another federally funded program, Project Healthcare, supports two cohorts of high school juniors and seniors. The overarching goal is to diversify the healthcare profession, and also to increase enrollment at WMCC, Forhan says. Participating students in an early college high school can simultaneously earn a certified nursing credential, high school diploma and college credits. The U.S. Education Department awarded MWCC a $4.5 million GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and readiness for Undergraduate Programs) grant in October to support academic counseling, mentoring, tutoring community service opportunities, academic workshops, college tours, financial planning and other readiness activities. The program reaches some 800 students in Fitchburg Public Schools, beginning in the sixth and seventh grade. Overall, about a third of the students who take part in dual enrollment and other secondary school programs with MWCC end up at the college, Forhan says. The entrepreneurial spirit In another initiative, the United Way Youth Venture program, MWCC sends staff to 21 elementary, middle and high schools to help students create and design social entrepreneurship projects. Students determine what the idea of community means to them and the challenges they see; identify their own skills, interests and passions; put together a business plan for addressing that issue; and present their results. One group of students launched their own nonprofit. Others proposed legislation, lobbied for a dog park, wrote a mental health curriculum that was ultimately including in legislation, organized a soccer program and sent mosquito nets to combat malaria. MWCC provides grants of up to $1,000 to support high school students who participate in summer programs with the college, such as enrichment classes, dual enrollment, personal exploration activities and work experience through volunteerism. Some of these students have family responsibilities and “they will have to make the choice between working at Dunkin Donuts and being with us, so we do everything we can to pay those students stipends for the summer,” Forhan says. For Kirkwood Community College (KCC) in Iowa, outreach to the K-12 system is part of a continuum of engagement to get youths involved in postsecondary education and into jobs, says Kim Becicka, vice president of continuing education and training services. KCC’s Workplace Learning Connection serves an as intermediary between K-12 and business and industry representatives to arrange internships and job shadowing experiences for high school students. A key part of the college’s efforts to engage younger children is Kirkwood Interactive Camps for Kids (KICK), a summer program that focuses on fun STEM activities and career exploration. About 1,600 students participated in three- or five-day camps this summer. To ensure children from families that are struggling economically have a chance to attend, any child eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch per family can attend one camp free of charge every year. Popular sessions include welding, veterinary technology, healthcare, crime scene investigation, rockets, coding, robotics, website design, photography, how to build your own computer, how to create Minecraft characters, and how to create a You Tube account. “We’re looking for ways to provide youths with a glimpse into careers that are educational and also engages them,” says Kristin Verhorevoort, KICK program developer. KICK fits in with the college’s mission to provide opportunities for youths, to move more students into dual enrollment and to encourage high school graduates to become KCC students, Becicka says. “We believe it influences student choice,” she says. “Any time you can get youths on campus and help them understand what college is all about, they will be more likely to eventually enroll.”

In the 17th and 18th centuries, tombeaux were written to commemorate the passing of a notable individual. The mood of these pieces was ceremonial and restrained, as opposed to the expressivity of the Italian lamento, and traditional features included descending scales, dotted rhythms and repeated notes. This piece takes those features and reimagines them in a contemporary context. This work is available as a digital download. Upon purchase, you will receive a link to download PDF files and a licence that will entitle you to legally print copies of the sheet music. Nothing will be posted to you.

An unfortunate part of the dating process has always been and will always be rejection. Simply put, not every person that you come across will be the type that you would like to pursue something more with; either they're not your type physically, or else other key differences in personality begin to show as the friendship progresses. The same can be said about other people and their opinions of you, as well. At some point, the time comes to accept your differences and agree to move in different directions.In a traditional social setting, this rejection can often be a harsh and humiliating affair. Often it is based solely on physical attraction or lack thereof, and often it given with more venom than the other person perhaps intends. Said unfriendliness is often understandable, however; during a given night in a bar or nightclub, a physically attractive person will receive the lion's share of the attention from the crowd, desired or otherwise. Nonetheless, it can be a crushing affair to work your way over to a person in a social setting and instigate conversation only to be loudly and unceremoniously shot down. In an online setting, this blow is often softened a bit by virtue of the different methods of interaction. Because of the nature of online dating, both parties are free to pursue any sort of interaction at their own pace. Instead of feeling pressured to act by time, alcohol, and the people surrounding them, a person who is desirous of speaking further with another can do so at a much more relaxed, leisurely pace. Furthermore, it takes a while before either party can be said to have invested significant time into the relationship, or for that matter before the conversation can even be classified as a relationship.For these reasons, an online rejection is often easier to bear than a verbal one. If you express interest in another person and they opt not to continue contact, you've lost very little of your time and effort, and you know that there exists a multitude of other people that you may have better luck with. In some cases, it takes a while before personality differences begin to show themselves, and you may have been talking to another person for some measure of time before they tell you that they'd just as soon desist. Even then, however, the impersonality of email or telephone conversations lessens the impact of this, and you are able to take solace in the knowledge that the differences between you two would have ultimately proven detrimental to a lasting relationship. Along these lines, you may on occasion find yourself having to play the role of the rejecter. In cases such as these, the same points mentioned above are applicable. It is never an easy thing to tell somebody that you would just as soon not speak with them any longer, but the comparative anonymity of the internet gives you the option of letting them down far more softly than you would be able to otherwise. Again, neither party is overly-invested in the relationship at first, and thus any rejection is easier to bear and to give..http://www.online-dating-tips-guide.com - Provides advice and tips about online dating.

How can we creatively address food insecurity while reducing food waste using human-centered design? Design for America of NYU (DFA NYU) has been working for more than a year on a project (named NYU FREEdge) aiming to address food insecurity while at the same time reducing food waste by sharing leftover food with students who are in need. NYU FREEdge is a community fridge for which the DFA team created a web app in order to track food and provide users updates. Roughly a third of the food produced worldwide never gets eaten. And in the US while Americans are throwing out huge amounts of food, about one in every nine people in the world still suffers from chronic hunger—that is, insufficient food. Even in the United States, where that number is significantly lower, some 14 percent of U.S. households still struggled to put food on the table for a portion of last year, according to the USDA. Moreover, a recent survey at University of California unveiled that 40% of UC students do not have a stable source of high-quality, nutritious food. Yet, every year, 22 million pounds of food go to waste on college campuses according to estimates by the Food Recovery Network. Inspired by these numbers, research that the team done, and other examples of community fridges in cities and campuses around the world, the project aimed to tackle food insecurity at NYU while reducing food waste by providing a community fridge the NYU FREEdge – to students. Based on some of our prototypes and users’ feedback, the team last spring felt that they had two options: either understand better issues around food insecurity and food sharing on campus (in particular anonymity, privacy as well as logistics and accountability) to develop FREEdges at NYU or partner with food pantries and create community fridges within the city to service local communities. As most of the team has graduated or moved to new projects, we are looking to put together a new team that can continue the project and explore one or the other options – that is on campus or in the community. In both cases, the issue of food insecurity and food waste are two major challenges in our world’s today and we believe strongly that it makes sense to combine both approaches: rather than reducing food waste, let’s use it and feed people who are hungry. We are currently looking to recruit a completely new team for the upcoming semester. We are especially interested in students who have a background in social work, public policy, food studies, engineering and UX, business, but we’re open to any and all hardworking team players with a passion for design and making the world a better place!

§ 18.2-271.1 Probation, education and rehabilitation of person charged or convicted; person convicted under law of another state § 18.2-271.1. Probation, education and rehabilitation of person charged or convicted; person convicted under law of another state A. Any person convicted of a first or second offense of § 18.2-266 (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv), or any ordinance of a county, city, or town similar to the provisions thereof, or provisions of subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, shall be required by court order, as a condition of probation or otherwise, to enter into and successfully complete an alcohol safety action program in the judicial district in which such charge is brought or in any other judicial district upon such terms and conditions as the court may set forth. However, upon motion of a person convicted of any such offense following an assessment of the person conducted by an alcohol safety action program, the court, for good cause, may decline to order participation in such a program if the assessment by the alcohol safety action program indicates that intervention is not appropriate for such person. In no event shall such persons be permitted to enter any such program which is not certified as meeting minimum standards and criteria established by the Commission on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) pursuant to subsection H of this section and to 18.2-271.2. However, any person charged with a violation of a first or second offense of § 18.2-266 (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv), or any ordinance of a county, city, or town similar to the provisions thereof, or provisions of subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, may, at any time prior to trial, enter into an alcohol safety action program in the judicial district in which such charge is brought or in any other judicial district. B. The court shall require the person entering such program under the provisions of this section to pay a fee of no less than $250 but no more than $300. A reasonable portion of such fee, as may be determined by the Commission on VASAP, but not to exceed 10 percent, shall be forwarded monthly to be deposited with the State Treasurer for expenditure by the Commission on VASAP, and the balance shall be held in a separate fund for local administration of driver alcohol rehabilitation programs. Upon a positive finding that the defendant is indigent, the court may reduce or waive the fee. In addition to the costs of the proceeding, fees as may reasonably be required of defendants referred for intervention under any such program may be charged. C. Upon conviction of a violation of § 18.2-266 or any ordinance of a county, city or town similar to the provisions thereof, or subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, the court shall impose the sentence authorized by § 18.2-270 or 46.2-341.28 and the license revocation as authorized by § 18.2-271. In addition, if the conviction was for a second offense committed within less than 10 years after a first such offense, the court shall order that restoration of the person's license to drive be conditioned upon the installation of an ignition interlock system on each motor vehicle, as defined in § 46.2-100, owned by or registered to the person, in whole or in part, for a period of six months beginning at the end of the three year license revocation, unless such a system has already been installed for six months prior to that time pursuant to a restricted license order under subsection E of this section. Upon a finding that a person so convicted is required to participate in the program described herein, the court shall enter the conviction on the warrant, and shall note that the person so convicted has been referred to such program. The court may then proceed to issue an order in accordance with subsection E of this section, if the court finds that the person so convicted is eligible for a restricted license. If the court finds good cause for a person not to participate in such program or subsequently that such person has violated, without good cause, any of the conditions set forth by the court in entering the program, the court shall dispose of the case as if no program had been entered, in which event the revocation provisions of § 46.2-389 and subsection A of § 46.2-391 shall be applicable to the conviction. The court shall, upon final disposition of the case, send a copy of its order to the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles. If such order provides for the issuance of a restricted license, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon receipt thereof, shall issue a restricted license. Appeals from any such disposition shall be allowed as provided by law. The time within which an appeal may be taken shall be calculated from the date of the final disposition of the case or any motion for rehearing, whichever is later. D. Any person who has been convicted in another state of the violation of a law of such state substantially similar to the provisions of § 18.2-266 or subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, and whose privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this Commonwealth is subject to revocation under the provisions of § 46.2-389 and subsection A of § 46.2-391, may petition the general district court of the county or city in which he resides that he be given probation and assigned to a program as provided in subsection A of this section and that, upon entry into such program, he be issued an order in accordance with subsection E of this section. If the court finds that such person would have qualified therefor if he had been convicted in this Commonwealth of a violation of § 18.2-266 or subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, the court may grant the petition and may issue an order in accordance with subsection E of this section as to the period of license suspension or revocation imposed pursuant to § 46.2-389 or subsection A of § 46.2-391. Such order shall be conditioned upon the successful completion of a program by the petitioner. If the court subsequently finds that such person has violated any of the conditions set forth by the court, the court shall dispose of the case as if no program had been entered and shall notify the Commissioner, who shall revoke the person's license in accordance with the provisions of § 46.2-389 or subsection A of § 46.2-391. A copy of the order granting the petition or subsequently revoking or suspending such person's license to operate a motor vehicle shall be forthwith sent to the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles. No period of license suspension or revocation shall be imposed pursuant to this subsection which, when considered together with any period of license suspension or revocation previously imposed for the same offense in any state, results in such person's license being suspended for a period in excess of the maximum periods specified in this subsection. E. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever a person enters a certified program pursuant to this section, and such person's license to operate a motor vehicle, engine or train in the Commonwealth has been suspended or revoked, the court may, in its discretion and for good cause shown, provide that such person be issued a restricted permit to operate a motor vehicle for any of the following purposes: (i) travel to and from his place of employment; (ii) travel to and from an alcohol rehabilitation or safety action program; (iii) travel during the hours of such person's employment if the operation of a motor vehicle is a necessary incident of such employment; (iv) travel to and from school if such person is a student, upon proper written verification to the court that such person is enrolled in a continuing program of education; (v) travel for health care services, including medically necessary transportation of an elderly parent or, as designated by the court, any person residing in the person's household with a serious medical problem upon written verification of need by a licensed health professional; (vi) travel necessary to transport a minor child under the care of such person to and from school, day care, and facilities housing medical service providers; (vii) travel to and from court-ordered visitation with a child of such person; (viii) travel to a screening, evaluation and education program entered pursuant to § 18.2-251 or subsection H of § 18.2-258.1; (ix) travel to and from court appearances in which he is a subpoenaed witness or a party and appointments with his probation officer and to and from any programs required by the court or as a condition of probation; (x) travel to and from a place of religious worship one day per week at a specified time and place; (xi) travel to and from appointments approved by the Division of Child Support Enforcement of the Department of Social Services as a requirement of participation in a court-ordered intensive case monitoring program for child support for which the participant maintains written proof of the appointment, including written proof of the date and time of the appointment, on his person; or (xii) travel to and from jail to serve a sentence when such person has been convicted and sentenced to confinement in jail and pursuant to § 53.1-131.1 the time to be served is on weekends or nonconsecutive days. No restricted license issued pursuant to this subsection shall permit any person to operate a commercial motor vehicle as defined in the Virginia Commercial Driver's License Act (§ 46.2-341.1 et seq.). The court shall order the surrender of such person's license to operate a motor vehicle to be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of § 46.2-398 and shall forward to the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles a copy of its order entered pursuant to this subsection, which shall specifically enumerate the restrictions imposed and contain such information regarding the person to whom such a permit is issued as is reasonably necessary to identify such person. The court shall also provide a copy of its order to the person so convicted who may operate a motor vehicle on the order until receipt from the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles of a restricted license, if the order provides for a restricted license for that time period. A copy of such order and, after receipt thereof, the restricted license shall be carried at all times while operating a motor vehicle. Any person who operates a motor vehicle in violation of any restrictions imposed pursuant to this section shall be guilty of a violation of § 18.2-272. Such restricted license shall be conditioned upon enrollment within 15 days in, and successful completion of, a program as described in subsection A of this section. No restricted license shall be issued during the first four months of a revocation imposed pursuant to subsection B of § 18.2-271 or subsection A of § 46.2-391 for a second offense of the type described therein committed within 10 years of a first such offense.

Ca2+ is an essential cellular signal that regulates diverse processes in neurons, including synaptic plasticity, excitability or gene expression, and operates with vastly different spatial and temporal dynamics. Dysregulation of Ca2+ plays a pivotal role in degeneration and death of brain cells after ischemic strokes, in long-term neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease, and also in inflammatory processes, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Understanding the molecular processes regulating Ca2+ homeostasis is critical for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for these disorders and ensuring health across an individual’s lifespan. We have established oxygen responses in the nematode model organism C. elegans as a powerful paradigm to tease apart the mechanisms underpinning calcium function and dysfunction in neural circuits. We found that ambient oxygen evokes a strong and sustained but instantly reversible rise of Ca2+ in the O2-sensing neurons, which controls behavioural state of C. elegans in the long term. It is sustained by calcium influx through ion channels, Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and IP3 signalling. Strikingly, we found that these O2 responses are reprogrammed by experience: Animals show very different tuning of O2-evoked responses when raised at different oxygen levels. This plasticity depends on prolonged changes of neuronal [Ca2+] in the sensory neurons themselves and it changes their excitability, showing hallmarks of long-term memory. We have identified and started to characterise candidate genes that control the stability and plasticity of Ca2+ responses, and therefore behavioural state, throughout the lifespan. In this project, we will bring together in silico and in vivo analyses in C. elegans to build a model of the biochemical and cellular mechanisms that control the long-term regulation and plasticity of calcium in neurons. The project will be performed in collaboration between the Busch lab, which studies sensory neural circuit function in C. elegans, and the Stefan lab, which uses computational models and simulations to study the molecular and cellular basis of memory. Combining the power of computational modelling with in vivo studies, you will characterise the signalling factors that control Ca2+ dynamics in the circuit mediating O2 responses. You will mechanistically characterise them using genetics, behavioural assays and functional neuronal imaging. You will also use chemical kinetic models to simulate time courses of biochemical interactions in various conditions. The model will also give us the opportunity to dissect the effects of environmental changes, mutations or other malfunctions on neuronal Ca2+ function. Most genes known to regulate Calcium signalling are highly conserved in evolution, including between C. elegans and humans. We therefore anticipate that molecular and cellular mechanisms we will identify in C. elegans are applicable to humans. - Busch KE , Laurent P, Soltesz Z, Murphy RJ, Faivre O, Hedwig B, Thomas M, Smith HL, de Bono M (2012) Tonic signaling from O₂ sensors sets neural circuit activity and behavioral state.

Reasons why you Need to Hire a Qualified Electrical Contractor When it comes to hiring an electrical contractor it is not necessary to have an electrical issue for you to have access to qualified electrical Contractor. The observation should be that the contractor is already there to mitigate the risk that might be experienced should you be facing any electrical in this article we are going to consider some of the benefits that are accrued when you hire a qualified electrical contractor. One of the benefits of choosing a qualified electrical Contractor is that it is safe. When it comes to issues related to electrical fault you all know that handling this when you are not qualified for the same might result to hazardous consequences. It is not once or twice that people have experienced electrocution or suffered the burning down of a building because they tampered with electrical systems without qualification. When you get a contractor who’s qualified for the same this implies that they know all the safety procedures to follow and they cannot violate anything that can cause serious consequences in the end. Even when you think that the issue is very minor and you must not involve an expert it is crucial to have a qualified electrical Contractor monitoring systems. Another important reasons for hiring a qualified electrical Contractor is that it is affordable. I know that the word affordable might be quite old knowing the amount of money you are going to spend for you to get access to a qualified contractor. However when you hire a qualified contractor you are confident that the issue you are facing at the moment might not be the car because the expert knows how best to handle issues. Similarly they will give you the right quotation because they do not have a need to overcharge you for fear of losing their reputation. If you happen to hire a quack or by any chance get the wrong quotation you might end up spending more money in the long run. Another reason why you should hire qualified electrical contractors is that they are reliable. Knowing well that you can always reach out to an electrical Contractor and they will show up in good time is enough evidence that you need a qualified personnel. Avoid a situation where you will need to keep reaching out to a contractor who is not showing up in good time because this might end up escalating the issue that is already there. With a qualified electrical Contractor you are confident that they are only a call or an e-mail away. The response of such personnel is also high in the sense that they are used to dealing with several clients and therefore they know how to handle the large numbers as they come. Additionally you should have somebody who responds to you even in inconvenient hours of the night or the day. This is because you cannot predict when next you are going to suffer from electrical faults.

Information Possibly Outdated The information presented on this page was originally released on December 21, 2018. It may not be outdated, but please search our site for more current information. If you plan to quote or reference this information in a publication, please check with the Extension specialist or author before proceeding. Streamside zones protect groundwater STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Streamside management zones have become critical tools forestry landowners and professionals use for protecting water quality during and after timber harvests. These zones are relatively undisturbed areas adjacent to perennial and intermittent streams that act as filter strips for water flowing overland after it rains. Most of the pollution that results from logging and other forestry activities is in the form of sedimentation of streams. In other words, soil is carried from the harvesting site and deposited in the stream channel by runoff. Well maintained zones preserve the ground cover and some trees for a predetermined width along the stream channel. Vegetation on the ground effectively slows the water and allows the suspended soil to settle out before it reaches the stream. Trees left along the stream provide shade to maintain the normal temperature of the water. The width of the streamside management zone is determined by the slope adjacent to the stream; the steeper the ground, the wider the zone. The slope percentage is determined by the amount of rise divided by the length of the run times 100. The Mississippi Forestry Commission’s “Best Management Practices for Forestry in Mississippi,” recommends the following widths and slope combinations: Slopes from 0 to 5 percent need zones that are 30 feet wide. Slopes from 5 to 20 percent need zones that are 40 feet wide. Slopes from 21 to 40 percent need zones that are 50 feet wide. Slopes that are over 40 percent need zones that are 60 feet wide. Harvesting trees in a management zone is perfectly alright. However, you should remove only half of the trees. Leaving 50 percent of the crown cover will give adequate shade to the stream, which allows you to remove the most valuable trees along the zone while maintaining its effectiveness. Water quality concerns are the driving force behind streamside management zones, but they offer other benefits as well. The zones improve the aesthetics of a timber harvest and provide excellent wildlife corridors. Forest landowners want more than just timber income from their property, and using best management practices will protect water quality, enhance recreational opportunities and improve wildlife potential. For more information on streamside management zones and best management practices, contact your county Extension office. Editor’s Note: Extension Outdoors is a column authored by several different experts in the Mississippi State University Extension Service.

Java (Indonesian: Jawa), area 132,000 square km, has 114 million inhabitants and is the most densely populated island in Indonesia, with 864 people per kmē. It is the most populous island in the world. If it were a country it would be the second most densely populated country of the world, except for some very small countries (after Bangladesh). Java is divided into 4 provinces, 1 special region* (daerah istimewa), and 1 special capital city district** (daerah khusus ibukota): Java is located in a chain of islands with Sumatra to the northwest, Bali to the east, Borneo to the northeast and Christmas Island to the south. It is the world's 13th largest island. Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains no less than thirty-eight mountains of that conical form which indicates their having at one time or other been active volcanoes. See Volcanoes of Java. Java contains the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta. Popular tourist destinations include the city of Yogyakarta, a massive pyramid-like monument to Buddhism known as Borobudur, and Prambanan, the largest Hindu temple in Java. Java is also the most densely populated island in Indonesia, with nearly half of the overall population of the country residing on Java and Bali. Since the 1980s the Indonesian government has started a transmigration program aimed at resettling the population of Java on other less-populated islands of Indonesia, many of which are in need of development. However, a highly corrupted bureaucracy ensured poor results, and in many instances ethnic tension between the native people and the settlers. Recent examples include the ethnic/religious wars in southern Borneo between the native animistic population and the settlers from Madura. The island of Java is also famous for the Java man, a set of fossil remains of Homo erectus found near the Brantas river in East Java. Two million years ago, the rainfall in the Sunda and Digul plateaus were very heavy, and allowed heavy tropical vegetation to thrive. This in turn allowed many prehistoric cultures to emerge, as evidenced in many fossil findings in this region. Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms The island of Java is the site of many Hindu and Buddhist temples, such as the Borobudur temple. Indeed, the Javanese culture, and language itself, was heavily influences by the Indian continental culture and language. In the 6th and 7th centuries many maritime kingdoms arose in Sumatra and Java which controlled the waters in the Straits of Malacca and flourished with the increasing sea trade between China and India and beyond. During this time, scholars from India and China visited these kingdoms to translate literary and religious texts. The most prominent of the Hindu kingdoms was the Majapahit kingdom based in Central Java. Its control of a large portion of Indonesia has been used by the current Indonesian government to promote their national unity campaign. The remnants of the Javanese Hindu kingdom Majapahit moved to Bali during the 16th century, away from the growing influence of the Muslim kingdoms to the west of their territory. They remained isolated until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Dutch mounted military expeditions to gain control of the island. Today Bali's native population is still overwhelmingly Hindus. Muslim kingdoms and the Dutch colonization The earliest Muslim evangelists were called the Wali Songo , the nine ambassadors. Several of them were of Chinese origin, leading to speculation of Zheng He's influence on the trade in the Straits of Malacca. Many of their tombs are still well-preserved, and often visited for superstitious and religious reasons. Most of the brand of Islam that is adopted in Java is mixed with the local superstitions, and has a decidedly local flavor. For example, the legend of Nyi Roro Kidul was invented as a mix of the superstition common in the southern banks of Java and Islamic influences. Islam was also used as a political motive in support of the resistance of the later Java kingdoms against the Dutch colonials. The Dutch East India Company established its trading and administrative headquarters in Batavia, and ruled Java through control of the Javanese courts in Yogyakarta and Surakarta. Despite several insurgencies, the Dutch maintained control until the Japanese invasion in World War II. The Dutch started coffee and tea plantation on the island of Java, hence the term java is often used in place of coffee. These plantations still exist to today, and while the tea products are not considered gourmet, the coffee products are highly sought-after. The culture of coffee so permeates the Javanese culture that upon visiting a house, one is often automatically served a cup of coffee (often with a lot of sugar and/or milk) without asking. The 19th century saw the Dutch government take over administration of the East Indies from the Dutch East India Company, and in the mid-19th century they implemented the cultuurstelsel and cultuurprocenten policies, which caused widespread famine and poverty. A Dutch author Douwes Dekker wrote a novel Max Havelaar to protest these conditions, and in turn the political and social movement spurned by this protest resulted in the Ethical Policy , by which many Javanese elites were given a chance to earn Dutch education both in Java and in the Netherlands itself. Jakarta was made the capital of Indonesia upon her indepence, and an overwhelming majority of the figures of Indonesian independence are from Java as a result of the ethical policy from the beginning of the 20th century. This ensures political dominance that continues to today. The respected Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer once recommended that the Indonesian capital be moved outside the island of Java in order to free the Indonesian nationalist movement off its Java-centric character. Being the location of the capital means that Java, and Bali, are the most developed regions of Indonesia. However, overpopulation means that most facilties are overused, and since the mid-1980s the government has started a transmigration program to resettle people from Java to other less-populated, and less-developed, regions such as in Kalimantan and Sumatra. Generally speaking, the three main cultures of Java are the Sunda culture of West Java, the Central Java culture, and the East Java culture. Central Java was the seat of the later Islamic kingdoms that still continue to today - although they have only symbolic roles - and is still a major factor in the Indonesian national politics. Java was the site of many influential kingdoms in the Southeast Asian region, and as a result many literary works have been written by Javanese authors. These include Ken Arok and Ken Dedes, the story of the orphan who usurped his king and married the queen of the ancient Javanese kingdom, and translations of Ramayana and Mahabarata. Today Pramoedya Ananta Toer the most famous Indonesian author has written many stories based on his own experiences of having grown up in Java, and takes many elements from Javanese folklore and historical legends. Most of the Javanese are Muslims, either of the Abangan (nominal) type or orthodox muslims. Small Hindu enclaves are scattered throughout Java, but a large Hindu population prevails along the eastern coast of Java facing Bali, especially in the municipilaty Banyuwangi. There are also christian communities - mostly in the major cities - although they are in the minority. Certain rural areas of central Java have strong christian influence. Buddhism communities also exist in the major cities, primarily among the Indonesian Chinese. Last updated: 02-03-2005 12:39:17 Last updated: 04-25-2005 03:06:01

Election-bound Punjab is in a drug-induced stupor, cancer from pesticide exposure is rampant in its farm belts. Old-guard politicians have been lazy, and AAP hopes to cash in Jasleen Kaur | February 3, 2017 | New Delhi Punjab’s deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal may well be right when he claims that no one can say his government has not performed on the parameters of development. What is left unsaid and unacknowledged are the social problems facing the state, including that of rampant drug use across the state. Punjab, known for its lush green fields that once symbolised the progressive state, is today paying a heavy price for political neglect. Drugs is a big business in Punjab, bringing in easy money. Some of the powerful names in the political corridors have allegedly also been involved. The number of addicts is alarmingly high. Ignorance about the drug menace was quite evident when the Shiromani Akali Dal objected to the movie Udta Punjab, released in June last year, which dealt with the problem of drug abuse by the state’s youth. The government had said Punjab was being defamed by being called a drug hub. Though there is no comprehensive study by the state government on the impact of drugs, a number of surveys done by independent agencies highlight the plight. They show that at least half of Punjab’s population in the age group of 16-35 is addicted to drugs. A study by the state department of social security and development of women and children shows that there is at least one drug addict in 67 percent of the households in Punjab. The fact is that drugs have been part of rural Punjab for decades. But the Akali Dal-BJP government has always downplayed its existence. Punjab will elect 117 MLAs, but the poll outcome is unpredictable. Voting will take place on February 4, while the vote count will be on March 11. The state, known for its bitter electoral battles between Akali Dal-BJP and the Congress, will see its first triangular fight in the assembly elections as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) too is in the fray. The Shiromani Akali Dal had scripted history when it won a consecutive term in the assembly elections in 2012 – the first by any party. This time, the anti-incumbency factor against the SAD-BJP government is high. And they will surely have to fight the stigma of being in power for two consecutive terms, yet not doing enough to get rid of the drug menace that has ruined generations. “People have no problem if you take bribe. It is a nation-wide phenomenon. But drugs are not acceptable anymore,” says Ashutosh Kumar, Punjab-based political analyst and professor of political science at Panjab University, Chandigarh. He adds, “Earlier drug addiction was seen as a problem of the poor, dalits and unemployed youth. But now the issue is about synthetic drugs, which include costly substance like heroin. The rich zamindars [landowners] buy that. The core support base of Akali Dal is the Jat Sikh. This is going to hit Akalis really hard this time.” Punjab has been battling drug abuse for years, irrespective of which party ruled the state. But if the party has been in power for 10 years and drugs are still freely available, it certainly has to take the blame. “When the issue is raised, the government will only catch hold of a few suppliers and addicts from villages. But there is no effort to find the root cause,” Kumar adds. Drugs is not the only problem. There are other issues too. The state has faced political neglect. And there has been no improvement in the last five years. During the 2012 state assembly elections, there was the scourge of poor education, failure in generating employment, poor health sector, increasing number of farmer suicides as some of the issues of concern among people. They all continue to plague the state. These issues have never really been part of the poll manifestos of the traditional parties. It is now believed unfulfilled promises by the state government will result in resentment among the voters against the ruling party. Professor Santokh Singh, a political analyst based in Ludhiana, says there is development which is visible in terms of construction of roads, malls and airports, but there has been no focus on social problems. He adds the development has been superficial and impacts only 5-10 percent of the population. “The development which could affect the lives of common people, improve their income and quality of life, create employment opportunities, and bring in quality in school and college education has not been there. The health sector has been pushed towards privatisation. The infrastructure that has been developed will benefit only the rich people. The poor have been largely neglected,” he adds. Emergence of AAP Though the Congress led by Capt Amarinder Singh of the Patiala royal family is the main contender, voters are open for an alternative in the form of the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP. In the 2014 general elections – the only election AAP fought in the state – of the 13 parliamentary constituencies, Shiromani Akali Dal and AAP had won four seats each, Congress won three and BJP won two. And this third contender has been gaining ground in the state since then. Singh believes AAP could reap the benefits of the public anger towards the ruling party. Certainly, AAP should be given the credit for raising the issue of drugs during the elections in 2014. “I see the AAP getting clear-cut majority among the youth, which is emerging as the big vote base. AAP is also gaining in Malwa region. And with 68 assembly constituencies out of total 117 in this region, the party building a base here cannot be ruled out of [electoral fray],” he explains. The region has traditionally formed the base of the Akalis. Farmers living in the Malwa region, known as the cotton belt of Punjab, have been suffering health problems for more than a decade. They have been exposed to toxins because of the excessive use of pesticides over the years. There is also high content of cancer-causing agents in water and soil. And the region has seen continuous increase in the number of cancer patients. In order to seek affordable treatment, poor farmers have been forced to travel to Bikaner in Rajasthan for years. The government, though, recently inaugurated the Advanced Cancer Research and Diagnostic (ACRD) centre in Bathinda. “AAP is in a stronger position today. Though there is nothing revolutionary about their programmes or manifesto. All the parties are talking in the same [language]. But they are playing with the sentiment of change. What that change will be, nobody knows,” says Singh. n The Moral Contagion By Julia Hauser and Sarnath Banerjee HarperCollins, 140 pages, Rs 699 The world has lar Addressing the Viksit Bharat Viksit Uttar Pradesh program in Lucknow on Monday, prime minister Narendra Modi launched 14,000 projects across the state, worth more than Rs 10 lakh crore at the fourth groundbreaking ceremony of UP Global Investors Summit held in February 2023.

Exploring the Allure of Gold: A Comprehensive Review of Its Timeless Value In the realm of precious metals, few hold the captivating allure and enduring value that gold does. Revered for millennia, gold has transcended civilizations, cultures, and centuries, maintaining its status as a birch gold group review symbol of wealth, power, and beauty. Its fascinating history, intrinsic properties, and contemporary significance make it a subject worthy of exploration and review. The Historical Significance of Gold Gold’s prominence in human history is as illustrious as it is extensive. Dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, gold adorned royalty, was used in religious ceremonies, and symbolized prosperity. Its scarcity and enduring luster made it a valuable commodity for trade and wealth preservation. Unveiling the Properties of Gold One of the key attributes contributing to gold’s allure is its inherent physical characteristics. Gold is remarkably resistant to rust, tarnishing, and corrosion, retaining its brilliance over time. Its malleability allows for intricate craftsmanship, making it ideal for jewelry and artistic creations. Moreover, gold’s conductivity has led to its use in various technological applications, from electronics to medical devices. Economic and Financial Significance In modern times, gold continues to hold significance in the global economy and financial markets. It serves as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, often sought after in times of economic uncertainty. Central banks around the world hold substantial gold reserves as a store of value and stability in their currency reserves. Cultural and Symbolic Value Beyond its material worth, gold embodies symbolic and cultural meanings. Across different societies, gold remains a symbol of prestige, achievement, and love. Wedding bands, medals, and trophies made of gold signify enduring commitment, excellence, and victory, respectively. Contemporary Applications and Trends In addition to its traditional uses, gold continues to find new applications. In the tech industry, it’s employed in electronic components for its conductivity and reliability. Moreover, the rise of sustainable and ethical practices in mining has led to increased interest in responsibly sourced gold, meeting the demands of socially conscious consumers. Investing in Gold: Opportunities and Considerations Investing in gold has been a longstanding strategy for portfolio diversification. Investors often turn to gold as a safe haven asset during market downturns. Various avenues, such as purchasing physical gold, investing in gold-backed ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), or trading gold futures, offer different levels of exposure and risk.

This amazing Rothschild Mirakal Hat neon sign is a rare find! Dating from the 1920’s-1930’s era, this impressive three color neon sign advertised the Mirakal Hat company. Known for their hand crafted Fedoras, the Mirakal Hat company promoted their Water Proof treatment for men’s hats and caps. It appears the company was based in the U.S. and at some point became known as the Wright Mirakal Hat company. The sign is also marked Rothschild, for the famous Rothschild Department store in Chicago. Rothschild’s was well known in the Midwest for selling the finest clothing and home goods. Started by Maurice L. Rothschild, the department store opened on State Street in Chicago in the early 1900’s. The building still stands today and is an example of the Chicago School architecture. This marvelous Mirakal Hat neon sign appears to be all original. It was most likely used indoors, which is why the painted can and white lettering are so well preserved. There is some paint loss to the Rothschild lettering on the top panel, as shown in the photos. Even more remarkable are the neon tubes, which also appear to be original to the sign. The three neon color combination works well together adding to its bright and impressive look. As an example of an antique neon sign, this is one of the finest we have ever had. MAKER: Panellit Displays Sign Co., Chicago COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States MATERIALS: Painted metal and three color neon. CONDITION: Extremely nice condition with all original paint and original neon tubes. Some paint loss on the Rothschild sign panel as shown in photos. HEIGHT: 11 in. (28 cm) WIDTH: 22 in.

You might remember that on a bitter cold night, I was at the Caucus. I didn't talk about it a lot back then, but while there, I stood and was counted in the Clinton group. I didn't talk about it much because, just as I assume you're doing now, I figured you all would scoff and harass me. But I stand by my decision. I still feel Hillary would make the better candidate. No, I haven't agreed with everything she's done or said. But that applies to 100% of the world's population. But I feel like she's strong. She's funny. She's incredibly smart. She's been in the White House and knows what kind of BS happens on a daily basis. Of course, there's the question that counters the experience: "Would you let the brain surgeon's wife operate on you?" I tend to agree with Bartcop: Well, if my choices were the brain surgeon's wife, who watched every minute of brain surgeries for eight years OR a smooth-talking guy who'd never been in the operating room before, I'd go with the surgeon's wife - wouldn't you?After the mess we're in, I feel like she was the only candidate that could jump in and hit the ground running. I was also weirded out by the mass rush of people to jump on the Obama train. Like it was the cool thing to do. Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps he'll be the greatest president of all-time. I'll be voting for him, of course. But tonight, I listened to Hillary and felt inspired and thought about what could have been. It seems I wasn't the only one: HRC quoting Harriett Tubman marks the first time Hillary Clinton has given me chills. Where was this woman a year ago? I miss her. "We don't have a vote to spare or a moment to lose." "Don't ever stop. Keep going."

iFIND: intelligent Fetal Imaging and Diagnosis Ultrasound, which passes sound waves into the body to create pictures from their reflections, is commonly used to check that babies in the womb (or fetuses) are healthy. Although every pregnant mother in the country has a scan at around 20 weeks, not all of the babies who have problems are picked up on these ultrasound scans. We are proposing: - New technologies that allow scanning to be carried out with multiple ultrasound probes (the device which takes the ultrasound picture) at the same time which have better imaging capabilities and move automatically to the right place to get the best pictures of the whole baby. - Improved fetal ultrasound imaging through automated image processing. By combining conventional ultrasound imaging from routine scans with more detailed MRI we will build a map of fetal anatomy to use for computer assisted diagnosis of fetal anomalies. These advances should mean a high quality scanning service across the country which is not dependent on local expertise, and fewer babies who have major problems will be missed.

Home auctions are one option for banks and homeowners seeking to sell a home fast and for a fantastic price. While home auctions are often earmarked for foreclosure properties, an auction is also an option for homeowners who have an abnormal or eccentric home to market. Houses that go to auction provide several benefits over traditional sales. Fair Market Value One of the biggest advantages of a home going to auction is that the high likelihood it will market for its reasonable market value. This happens when buyers compete to place the winning bid, forcing the cost of a home to the highest price buyers are prepared to pay and the lowest price a seller is prepared to accept. This benefits both sellers and buyers, who can use the auction procedure for a gauge of the home’s value. Sellers do not need to research the fair market value before setting a sale price, and buyers can set their own prices independently without worrying about coming far below, or over, a listed price. Buyers who wish to bid on a home at a home auction must register with the real estate company overseeing the auction. This allows the real estate company to preapprove buyers according to creditworthiness. When it is time to bid, just preapproved buyers can take part, plus they know beforehand the seller’s reserve price. This guarantees that a buyer will have the ability to earn the purchase and stands as a significant advantage over traditional home sales, where waiting for a buyer to be accepted can take extra time and create a sale to fall through at the last minute. Auctions are much faster than most traditional home sales. Sellers can schedule a date and know exactly when the home will sell. This can be useful in scheduling a move or making other programs that require financial obligations. The speed of a home auction cuts down on the expense of selling a home, since there’s less work to get a real estate agent to perform by promoting the house, holding open houses and administering showings. Homeowners also save by cutting down on maintenance costs while the home is on the market. Home auctions offer an option for homeowners who have a home that would be tough to sell or worth on the open marketplace. This is especially true for homes offering some sort of unique feature or unconventional features which may interest a particular group of buyers but be tricky to describe to others. Even for homeowners who wind up selling a home in a more conventional way, auctions offer an option for contrast purposes.

"That shirt makes her look pregnant. Do you think she's pregnant? Because she sure looks pregnant there," said the theater god. "I dunnoh," I said. "I don't think so. Because she looks, you know, like she's at least fifty. And not a good fifty." "Not a good pregnant, either," TG added, with a sad shake of his head. Sound nasty? Oh, it is. But it's okay, because we were sitting on the Couch of Judgment, from whence we get to be as hypercritical as we like. There's only one catch. We can only be hypercritical of the people we see on TV. (Or sometimes of people we know but with whom we are feeling a wee bit disgruntled. Not our friends, of course. More like acquaintances. Really, really annoying acquaintances. But only if they are not here with us. Because while we may be overly judgmental on occasion, we are not, you know, stupid.) The woman we were discussing was one of the anchors for a local news show. No, I won't say which one. Though I am, in fact, sitting on the COJ, its reach does not extend to the internet. What is snarked within these four walls stays within these four walls. Anyhoo, I have no idea if the probably-not-pregnant anchor was discussing matters of great import. Didn't really care at the time. All I know is, she should not wear that blouse on TV ever again. Because, damn. (I will forgive her rather haggard-looking face because she may have had a bad night, and besides, we all know what HDTV can do to anyone over fourteen.) Who, you may be wondering, do we think we are? What gives us the right? Valid questions, since our imperfections abound. Please, feel free to come on over and delineate them for us. Just make sure you're sitting on the COJ when you do. ;) So, what's the point of this post, other than to let you know how petty the theater god and I can be at times? Well, maybe that is the point. We're human. We sometimes have negative--okay, mean--thoughts. But neither of us cares much for hurting other people's feelings, especially not people we know and like. So the COJ is a kind of safety valve. Release a little of the snark in a safe place, and we're better able to hold it in at times when it might be considered *cough* inappropriate. So, how about y'all? How do you deal with your inner snarkiness? And watch out if you try to tell me you never have a mean thought. Because you know where I'm sitting...

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (Philippines) (STT GDC Philippines), a joint venture (JV) between Globe, Ayala Corporation and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), today announced that it is expanding its footprint in Asia with the development of its largest and most interconnected carrier-neutral data center in the Philippines. This announcement comes as the company celebrates its first anniversary milestone since the formation of the JV. The data center campus also marks STT GDCs’ single largest data center project development to date across its global portfolio. “With the Philippine digital industry set to grow at a projected compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% through 2030, we are seeing rapidly growing demand for high-quality colocation services in the Philippines as both cloud service providers and enterprises alike continually expand their business platforms to meet consumers’ evolving demand for low-latency digital services,” said Carlo Malana, Chief Executive Officer, STT GDC Philippines. “We are confident that we will be able to capture new demand while helping our customers meet their own sustainability ambitions with this new and differentiated data center capacity. This also presents an opportunity to nurture local talent in digital and green skills that will be much needed in the future.” Sustained growth is projected across ASEAN and the Philippines’ digital economy is seen to be a forerunner, with e-commerce expected to propel the country’s gross merchandise value (GMV) to US$35 billion in 2025. The Philippine digital economy is also expected to grow twice as fast as GDP through 2030. “With the Philippines’ digital transformation gaining headway, STT GDC’s new facility will be an important addition in the data center space in the country, where the market is underserved. This will provide crucial support for the growing digital industry not just in the country but also in the region, and will set a new standard of sustainability-driven data centers in the Philippines,” said Globe Group President and CEO Ernest Cu. The new data center campus, STT Fairview, will comprise over 83,000 square meters of gross floor area across four buildings, offering a development potential of 124 megawatts of IT load capacity once fully built out. It is strategically positioned within Quezon City with access to nearby substations, as well as critical telecommunications, transportation links, and logistics, business and industry hubs. This new data center campus will cater to both hyperscalers and enterprises, providing flexible and scalable low latency colocation options that are also sustainably built and operated. In line with STT GDC’s groupwide focus and commitment towards carbon-neutral data center operations by 2030, STT Fairview will support the company’s sustainability goals with a market-leading design power usage effectiveness (PUE) and a host of sustainable features. - Embodied carbon reductions – The use of innovative solutions such as hollow core concrete slabs, recycled steel and HDPE piping is among the many topics being explored which will lead to reductions in embodied carbon of the development. - Liquid cooling-readiness – The new data center will have the ability to house liquid-cooled solutions and servers based on customer requirements. Liquid immersion cooling supports high performance computing applications such as AI, and can offer data centers and its customers, particularly those operating in the tropics, a sustainability boost by substantially reducing energy consumption and water consumption. - AI readiness – The facility will be ready to leverage AI and machine learning (ML) technology and advanced analytics to improve the data center’s operational efficiency as well as optimize energy use to reduce its overall carbon footprint. - Built to global industry standards – This new data center will be built to specifications that will meet international standards such as a LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Uptime Institute Tier III, and TIA-942 Rated 3. STT Fairview will include ready network connections to STT Makati, one of the most interconnected data centers in the Philippines, providing customers of the new data center campus immediate access to a rich selection of local and international network service providers, internet exchanges and submarine cable systems. “The Philippine data center colocation market is poised for growth with a five-year CAGR of 25% through 2027 and hyperscale demand is on the uptrend. This is an opportune moment to support the Philippines’ digital growth agenda with core data center infrastructure that is the linchpin of a digital society,” said Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive Officer – Southeast Asia, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres. “With its complex design and scale requirements, this new data center will offer market-leading efficiencies without the reliability trade-offs, bringing a new standard in data center capacity to the Philippines that will serve the country’s digital and sustainability ambitions with its future-ready features.” STT GDC Philippines already operates five data centers with a total IT capacity of 22MW, with more than 95% of its power coming from renewable energy sources.

February 6, 2009 by Vinnie Leduc It does this via multiple interlocking storylines and fine acting by an ensemble cast that features Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, and Scarlett Johansson. However, these could be double-edged swords if you’re unprepared for a two-hour talkfest. Can you keep track of a half-dozen he-said/she-said subplots that you’ll probably guess the endings to anyway? And the nine-person ensemble is so crowded that I forgot that producer Drew Barrymore was even in it. Honestly, I still can’t tell you anything about her role or story. A somewhat pointless peek into various relationships of people arbitrarily connected to one another, this polarizing but decent film left me thinking, I’m just not that into this. On the other side are those who don’t have enough drama in their lives, those who find pleasure in observing others’ drama, and those who delight in love triangles, pentagons, and octagons. He’s Just Not That Into You gets 2.5 out of 5 stars.

cookieless, no-ads, no threats canyon exploring with Torrente Duglia flows amidst the hills in western side of Sila mounts, face to the plain of river Crati. Near the plain the hills tighten Duglia in a canyon whose sides are covered by woods and bush. I remember ... In Calabria it can be really hot in summer. Minimum temperatures might be over 25°C for weeks, and maximum above 40°C. When it's so hot, the only outdoor activities that are safe from heath-shock are swimming at sea or canyoning in wet That's why I have to do an approach trail even for Torrente Duglia! To reduce the strain I hide my heavy backpack, full of unuseful gear (but in canyon exploring you don't know if you will need a thing, so you have to bring all gear with you) by canyon's entry point. Then I park car at exit point, and then it's me hiking up to get to entry point again. And I have to complete this before 9 AM, or I will be in danger for a heath-shock. But this is the game of canyon exploring, and I like it! Copyright © 2002- Michele Angileri. All rights reserved.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way— in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever. …those two of the large jaws, and those other two of the plain and the fair faces, trod with stir enough, and carried their divine rights with a high hand. Thus did the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five conduct their Greatnesses, and myriads of small creatures—the creatures of this chronicle among the rest—along the roads that lay before them” (Dickens. A Tale of Two Cities. “The Period”). Perhaps these words present themselves to my soul in a powerful way at this particular “Period” of history. Dickens got it, the juxtaposition of human responses to the workings of the energies of life, particularly in relationship to governments and society. We are social creatures; the formation of government develops naturally and necessarily if we are to live according to our social natures. What do I see in these words? How do the words act as a lens for me? Dickens capitalized two words in the series: Light and Darkness. He then proceeds to equate the state of the energy of the world in 1775 by linking light and darkness with the unjust, dictatorial reigns of the monarchies of Great Britain and France over disenfranchised subjects. Of course, not all were trampled. Those who benefitted from powerful control freaks welcomed and supported policies that disempowered most people by denying “certain unalienable rights.” Therefore, for some, that period represented “the best of times,” while others experienced “the worst of times”—“Light” and “Darkness.” Shakespeare—great minds in accord—understands the dichotomy of the two responses: Hamlet tells his friends that “There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” Of course, those early Romantic writers and philosophers welcomed the revolutions against authoritarianism, so they may have viewed it as favorable. Maybe so, but death and destruction that results from inhumane dictators, no matter who initiates the war, wreaks havoc and sorrow for generations. Do we not yet understand that? Dickens provides a lens that helps me think about today’s widening chasm not only in the United States but also in a number of other nations bent on electing fascist-leaning governments, ones that will lead to revolutions of one sort or another. A government that favors a relatively select few at the expense of masses, that discriminates against people because of their human traits, that denies genders, minorities, and cultures basic rights—those rights named and not named as “certain unalienable rights”—such a government oppresses and can expect an unpleasant demise. In this period, I hope we will learn to respect one another, valuing our diversities and allowing for varied cultural expressions. Fear prevents that from happening, and it should if any—and I mean any, whether they be minority, religious, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors—mean to suppress, eradicate, or disenfranchise others. True freedom and liberty root themselves in mutual respect and desire for all to not only survive but also thrive, including all elements of Nature. How do such contraries as foolishness and wisdom, belief and incredulity, hope and despair, heaven and hell mark our world today? To me, life and its varied expressions hold me in awe. I despise narrow-minded bigotry, expressions of super-nationalistic superiority, and the greedy desire that destroys Nature under the guise of a good economy, but I still marvel at the dynamics. However, I hope for change, for spiritual awakening to the abundance, beauty, and harmony that is ours. I suppose that characterizes me as a true Gemini, one who sees, feels, and holds the contraries that Dickens masterfully displays in his introduction to A Tale of Two Cities. Questions to consider: How many times have you asked yourself or simply thought about the following questions? Who am I, really? What is my truth? How do my actions reveal what I really feel and believe? What would I do with my life if I could do anything? What is my passion? Why am I here? How can I discover answers to any of these questions? If you have considered any of these questions, I hope that my experiences and writing will give you some guidance. Please read my blog and comment and share your thoughts. I would love to hear from you!

And another solitary hiker approaches from the shadow of the dunes. As we pass, we might exchange a smile, a greeting, perhaps a few trite words. Just two travelers, on a stretch of sand, in a fleeting moment ... Which will likely never be repeated in the history of the world. Still, I marvel at how we got here - strangers, you and I. How from the beginning of time ... To the circumstances of our births, To the unfolding of our lives, To our decision to walk the beach at Platte Bay, To the precise interplay of our gravity, force and momentum, The universe has conspired ... To cross our paths ... At this very minute. What are the chances?

I went into The Broken Hearts Gallery not expecting a whole lot. It’s your typical love story type movie. It’s about one girl who constantly gets her heart broken and she saves things from each relationship. I will say the casting director really did a good job finding the right people to play this movie because that helps to make this movie really good. I give it three stars and say if you like these type of movies, definitely go see it. Even if you’re one that doesn’t like these type of movies it still has it’s own concept too. It actually teaches you a lesson in it as well I thought the acting was good especially Geraldine Viswanathan who did a really good job playing Lucy Gulliver. Running time is 1 hour and 48 minutes.

|"Bobby Heenan" invades Wrestlemania XXVII Wow, what a whirlwind. We got out of the Georgia Dome and back to our hotel a little after midnight. Up and at 'em at 4 a.m. to catch a flight and then after nearly 2 and a half hour drive in a downpour and windstorm, I'm finally home. This is just going to be some quick thoughts on Wrestlemania. Overall, because of the atmosphere and it being Wrestlemania and all, I really enjoyed myself. But I always do. Say what you want, the WWE knows how to put on a show, whether you like the outcomes our not, people can't say they weren't entertained. First, I'm going to throw out a few Mania fun facts. I think I'm right on all this information, I'm going by memory and just a few hours sleep. *Wrestlemania XXVII is the first in the event's history that did not feature a title change. Of course only two titles were defended on the card (World heavyweight and WWE championship) *The crowd last night set an attendance record according to the WWE of 71,617. *Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Snooki, Alberto Del Rio, Wade Barrett, Ezkiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater all made their Wrestlemania wrestling debuts last night. I don't count Daniel Bryan or any of the others in the battle royal as they were not a part of the actual card on pay per view. Maybe next year fellas. *This was the 4th straight Wrestlemania where the Royal Rumble winner did not win the title they were pursuing. Now on to my thoughts... U.S. Title Match, Sheamus (C) vs. Daniel Bryan (Dark Match): First, let me say I was extremely disappointed this match was taken off the main card and put on as a preshow event. Then when the lumberjacks who were added started to brawl, SmackDown! General Manager Teddy Long turned the match into a battle royal. Does anyone else have a problem with the GM from the show not representing the U.S. title making a new match? I did. Problem may be a strong word, but there has to be more consistency with the product. That's just one example of how attention to detail needs to be paid. Writers and performers need to be more on the ball. Oh yeah, most of the fans we were sitting near were cool. There were a couple of douche bags behind us who kept complaining about EVERYTHING that was going on, and then one even yelled a racial slur. And yes, a group of African American men was sitting right next to us. Classy... |Greetings from the Rock World Title Match, Edge (C) speared and pinned Alberto Del Rio: A lot of people were shocked to see this match open the show. Some were even upset. Personally, I thought it was a great way to start the show. Since there are so many big matches on the Wrestlemania card, good spacing is necessary to keep the crowd going up and down. Edge and Del Rio put on a hell of a show for us. The action was intense from bell to bell, and I believed all through the contest that Del Rio was going over and fulfilling his destiny of becoming the World heavyweight champion. That didn't happen. I liked the roles Brotus Clay and Christian played in the match, though the mark in me wanted to see Christian added to the match and walk out champion. As someone on Twitter said, "Del Rio has 'Billy Gunned' his Royal Rumble win." If you don't get that, Google Billy Gunn and King of the Ring and you'll understand. I liked the roles Brotus Clay and Christian played in the match, though the mark in me wanted to see Christian added to the match and walk out champion. So what I thought was going to be a ho-hum World title match actually impressed me and the show was off to a fantastic start, complete with some car vandalism by Edge. Poor Alberto. Cody Rhodes pinned Rey Mysterio: I had been eagerly anticipating this match up. I really felt like the WWE did a good job telling this story and drawing it out until Wrestlemania. Many times, they'll hot shot an angle or a feud, but this one has been brewing for more than two months, which I know isn't a long time, but in today's world of 5 plus hours of TV time to fill, it worked out. I had really hoped Cody would win, as he needed the victory much more than Rey did. And the former "Dashing one" picked up the win. It was tainted, but it worked and hopefully will help Cody move up the ladder a bit. Perhaps put him in line for a shot with Edge later this year. Kane, Big Show, Santino, & Kofi Kingston defeated The Corre: Every year Wrestlemania has a match that goes under a minute. This year, this was that match. I don't really understand why they took Koslov out and added KofiCorre and Nexus have been made to look weak since the original Nexus inception nearly a year ago. Randy Orton used the RKO to pin CM Punk: This match had a lot of potential. The action was pretty good. Punk plays the best heel in the company right now, sorry Miz. I really hoped Punk would win this one. A victory for him was really needed, but instead "The Viper" picked up the 1-2-3. Randy didn't need it. He would still be over today without winning. But Punk's loss makes him and the Nexus look weak. I would have to assume this is probably the end of that group. Hope Punk gets some sort of push in the aftermath. Michael Cole defeated Jerry "the King" Lawler by disqualification: Not even special guest referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin could stop the anonymous Raw general manager. The GM reversed Austin's decision because Austin had shoved Cole during the course of the match. A match, by the way, that went on way too long. Cole played the heel to a tee and did a good job. I still insist they take him off the announce team and make him a manager. Put Jim Ross back where he belongs as the Voice of the WWE. I think they could have cut this contest in half or more and we would have been fine with that. There were a couple of backstage vignettes with the Rock and various folks. Jake Roberts & Rick Martel circa Wrestlemania 7 (blindfold match) could see that Mae Young was going to be the one to come around the corner. The Pee Wee Herman bit was okay, but took valuable in ring time away. I know, it's sports entertainment. The rap auditions were funny. Loved the fact that Zack Ryder made the cut and sang "Friday." It was also great seeing Roddy Piper too. Okay, back to the action... Undertaker goes 19 and 0 and beats Triple H by submission: I'm probably in the minority here, but I was not invested in this match at all. In fact, after the introductions (which were mildly cool) I ran to the restroom. My bladder was supporting 32 ounces of Coke Zero and needed to be emptied. So I missed the beginning of the match. I felt like what I did see was pretty typical of an Undertaker Wrestlemania match. Look at the last two years against Shawn Michaels. Lots of near falls with each man kicking out of the other's finisher at the last second. Heck, H even Tombstoned the Undertaker. I'll admit, I thought it was over after that. I had my doubts that the Undertaker would win. That match took a lot out of him. That's why I'm saying this now. The Undertaker should retire next year after Mania 20 and 0. Start building a credible opponent now who can threaten the streak. At this moment, John Cena is the only man on the roster who poses that threat. I could live with a Cena-Taker match at Wrestlemania 28. Can you see me, dead man? |The Jersey Shore heads south... The Miz gets the assist from the Rock and pins John Cena: I figured that's how this match would end, but I had my doubts. Originally, both men were counted out. The Raw General Manger was about to make an announcement, but the Rock overrode whatever the message said and made the two guys continuing fighting. The Great One did the Rock Bottom on Cena and the Miz picked up the win. Then the Rock whooped up on the Miz afterwards. What's the point of having someone who hasn't competed for 7 years come in and take out your #1 guy and your heavyweight champion? I felt like that was a fail on the part of the WWE, although Vince likes to send the crowd home happy, and even though lots of people cheered the Miz's win, members of the CeNation were devastated their guy lost. So having the Rock destroy both men made the fans cheer. Get it? I'd give the show a C+ or a B-. It wasn't the worst Wrestlemania ever, but it wasn't the best either. And despite the Rock's promise at the start, it wasn't the most memorable either. But I'm already making plans to be in Miami for Wrestlemania 28. Hope to see you there too!

My husband was kind enough to take the kids to school yesterday for me. He loves the time with them and I am so thankful. I am also transitioning to a work-at-home situation, which has some disadvantages but I am thankful for all the advantages it affords me. Most importantly, I get to stay with a company I love, have loved for 16 years and believe in. So yesterday, in my tired and worn state I began to make room for this new adventure. We found some "new" office furniture off of Craig's List and picked it up on Monday night. We've been able to take some much loved collectables out of boxes and repurpose them for a tranquil setting in my new office space. The hubbie teases me that we have a cubicle in our bedroom... we don't! Not quite done with the sorting, cleaning, boxing - determining what goes and what stays... I am tired. My hubbie also went to pick the kids up from school last night. I stayed home to fold the endless pile of laundry we've been going through (did I mention I was sick and tired?)... baby cloths... 6 mo. to 5T. (If you, my friends and readers, need girls clothes (some boys) message me)... it's all going in the yard-sale bin anyway. I was going through those things yesterday, in tears, buttoning the snaps of footie-pajamas my daughter used to snuggle into. Tiny brown tennis shoes my son learned to walk in. I found the "to keep" tub and put some more items I can't bear to part with in it... one tub "to-keep" and five to sell. There was a time when I couldn't attend the baby showers of my friends and a time when I couldn't hold their newborn babies because I grieved too much for myself. A time when I couldn't see the blessings around me, past my own heart-break and shame. A moment to myself... I managed to finish and got it together before my son came bounding up the side walk. I heard him before I saw him... "Hi Mom! I am home" and then I see him... his smile coming in the door... "Hey Mom, have you seen my helmet? We're going to the park with Daddy". Shortly after him my daughter walks quietly in... straight over to me and says "Hi Mom! I am coming for a kiss". She no longer wears footie pajamas and his brown tennis shoes have been replaced with orange and gray "Jordan's" (I got on sale). I smile as they scoot away. Yes! I am blessed beyond measure and at the moment it brings me to my knees... Thursday I have an ultrasound to check my ovaries... to find out what they are doing... because they never worked right and still don't. I know that the trying days are past. The baby days are over... I am in the present with my children and that is all that matters... Blessed beyond measure and on my knees... My God! I will never stop saying Thank You for all the blessings in my life. I will never stop saying Thank You for the 10 years of struggle it took to have the children you intended for us. I see how you were at work in every moment and I am so thankful. Bowed down before you I know you hear my heart. I know you hear my thoughts and I am humbled... thankful... blessed beyond words. So when I am tired and weary... when the rest of the world asks "where is your God, who is He?"... I can say... He is everywhere, all the time, in the midst of everything and no one... not one single person can take that from me. Amen! 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Com satisfação divulgamos o lançamento do livro “Kant and the Problem of Knowledge” (2022), organizado por Alessandro Pinzani (UFSC) em parceira com Luigi Caranti (UniCt), e publicado pela editora Routledge. A série “Rethinking the Contemporary World” é composta por tres volumes que discutem a atualidade da filosofia kantiana no campo da epistemologia, da filosofia moral e da política. “This book examines Kant’s contributions to the theory of knowledge and studies how his writings can be applied to address contemporary epistemological issues. The volume delves into the Kantian ideas of transcendental idealism, space, naturalism, epistemic normativity, communication, and systematic unity. The essays in the volume study Kant’s theories from a fresh perspective and offer new arguments for assenting that knowledge cannot account for itself without acknowledging the fundamental role of the cognitive subject. In doing so, they suggest that we reconsider Kant’s views as a powerful alternative to naturalism. Featuring readings by well-known Kant specialists and emerging scholars with unorthodox approaches to Kant’s philosophy, the volume fills a significant gap in the existing scholarship on the philosopher and his works. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of knowledge, philosophy, and epistemology.”

Indian-Americans are experiencing unprecedented political success in the US, where the community comprise one per cent of the total population and for the first time ever they now also make up one per cent of the Congress, an Indian-American Harvard University academic has said. US Congress has 535 voting members: 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. And during last year’s elections four of the community members were elected to the Congress, while a fifth member won re-election to a third-term, Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Kamala Harris were elected to the US Congress last year, and Ami Bera won re-election to a third term. This represents the largest number of Indian Americans to ever serve in Congressional history, Ronak D Desai wrote in Forbes. Judge Dilip Singh Saund became the first Asian American to be elected to Congress in 1956. Nearly four decades later, Bobby Jindal was elected to the House of Representatives from Louisiana before launching a successful gubernatorial bid in the state. “Indian Americans are approximately one per cent of the US population and for the first time ever they now make up one per cent of the US Congress,” said MR Rangaswami, the founder of the San Francisco-based nonprofit Indiaspora. “This doesn’t count the scores of Indian-Americans senior staffers serving on Capitol Hill working for dozens of members on both sides of the aisle,” he said. Beyond the legislative branch, Donald Trump’s election to the White House is also proving a boon to some members of the community. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has been tapped to become the first ever Indian-American US Ambassador to the UN while Indiana native Seema Verma has been nominated by the president-elect to run the Center for Medicare and Medicai Services, Desai wrote. Since American immigration laws were liberalised in 1965, Indians travelled to the US in record numbers and the Indian American community has become the wealthiest, most educated diaspora in the country, according to Desai. While they have dominated the medical, engineering and computer science industries for decades, Indian Americans are only recently experiencing a commensurate level of achievement in public life, Desai said. Desai is an Affiliate at the Belfer Center’s India and and South Asia Program at Harvard University and a Fellow at New America.

The biggest eyesore is the ugly slab of concrete. For years I dreamed about removing it and adding pavers, but I’m realistic and knew that would be a ton of work and a lot of money. Then I got one of those brilliant ideas, that kind of idea that makes Jack look at me like I lost my mind. But it was genius and it worked awesomely… We cut pavers into the concrete. It sounds ridiculous I know, but it was so easy! Jack started by cutting the border of the slap into brinks using a grinder and a diamond concrete blade. He was surprised how easy it was and it only took 15 minutes for him to cut the whole border. Later that day, I used a piece of chalk to freehand the rock shaped pavers on the slab, incorporating any cracks. Once I was satisfied with the shapes I got my turn to use the grinder and cut out the “rock paver”. I figured since I had the image of what I wanted in my head it would be best if I did the cutting and it was fun. It also only took me 30 minutes to cut them all out. Phase one of the courtyard is completed, next up rocks and weed barrier!

Anyways back to this awesome cake! To create the general shape of the Stormtrooper helmet I used a Darth Vader cake pan that I had bought years ago. I cut down the shape to make it a little more round as they are compared to Vader’s helmet. I also created the curves of the helmet by shaping the cake and adding thicker pieces of fondant. To create the lines of the helmet I used smaller pieces of fondant instead of one large piece. Once all the white pieces were in place, I began adding small pieces of the blank fondant to finish the details of the helmet. I am super excited how this cake turned out and I was able to adapt an old cake pan to make it come out so perfectly!

Build a Calm Corner At most elementary schools, we support social/ emotional skills through a variety of lessons and support that are developmentally appropriate. We focus on skills that promote kindness, empathy and friendship. Research has shown that a focus on positive behavior and social/emotional support can positively impact the success of our students. We know that at times students can become overwhelmed with their emotions and become angry. This is called “flipping their lid” and there is an effect on their brain that temporarily makes it difficult for children to think rationally. This impacts the choices that they make in a moment of frustration, anxiety or aggression. One of the strategies of helping a child in an escalated state is a calming break. Students will have access to the “Calm Corner Toolkit” at school to de-escalate themselves when in a heightened state. This will allow them to calm down and rationally think about their behavior in a problem-solving space. A calming break is a structured break time that is taught before use. This is designed as a tool, not a toy that can be used at home as well as school. It is important that this tool is taught before a child has reached a heightened state. Clear, taught expectations around this tool will yield the most benefits. This tool can be used at home, as well as our implementation at school. How to use the Calm Corner Toolkit: The Calm Corner Toolkit has scientifically backed items that allow a child’s “lid” to fall back into place and rationalize the emotions of the moment. If you have more questions about creating a Calm Corner Toolkit at home please reach out to us at McDonoughh@issaquah.wednet.edu.

The wasp is a medium sized flying insect and is well known for its black and yellow markings on the body. These markings often lead wasps beings confused with bees but they are neither bees nor flying ants. They are found in all the countries of the world except for the Polar Regions. There are approximately 75, 000 recognized species of wasps over the world and grow to a length of 2/3 inch. Wasps are critically important in the natural control of their population. Fun Facts on Wasps The wasp is known for its poisonous sting which can be very painful and can also be fatal as some people are allergic to them. The stung area can swell and form a lump that takes a few days to soothe. Did you know when the wasp dies it releases a smell (called a pheromone) which warns other wasps of the lurking danger and is an indicator that help is needed. Just like many other species of insects the wasp is known to be a social being. As many as 10,000 wasps are thought to inhabit one nest. The queen wasp who is the only breeding female builds the nest using a papery substance made of chewed wood and plants. Despite their bright colours (which serve to warm predators) wasps are preyed upon by different animals including birds, amphibians, reptiles and various species of mammal. Being omnivorous wasps eat a mixture of plants and other animals. They prefer to eat sweeter plants and feed on nectars, fruits and honey. They also eat insects and even large caterpillars. They are known to become very aggressive during the months from August to October during which time their food preference shifts from insects to food and garbage. This is also the time when they can come in contact with humans and attack them. Wasps are only active during the daylight and they can be usually found resting in their nests during the night time and so this is considered to be the best time to eradicate wasps. All female wasps are not fertile and the first group of wasps to be born is one of sterile wasps. The queen wasp is helped by some fertile wasps in increasing the population of the nest in the beginning. The other fertile wasps lay eggs in the beginning but eventually become sterile, when there are enough wasps in the nest. If you have a problem with wasps, let the professionals, Pesky Critters help you get rid of them for you!

Why is the price so high? Because these are made in low volume for discriminating pimps, not for Jabroni's that shop at Party City* with their mom. Size Information This pimp suit only comes in one size, and it will fit many people out of the box but others may want to have it altered. Here is the sizing: *Nothing against Party City, lots of people come to me after shopping there! :-)

While checking out the WPT website, I learned that there is a WPT tournament coming up at Foxwoods (a mere 1.5 hours away) in October. I checked the tournament schedule and there are some tempting options. BUT…I am heading to Las Vegas for the WSOP Main Event Final Table close to that same time, so I think I’ll save my cash for playing in Vegas. Thought I’d post information on the tournament for those who can attend. Foxwoods World Poker Tour Finals Dates: Oct. 19 – Nov. 10, 2009 Foxwoods Resort Casino 350 Trolley Line Boulevard Mashantucket, CT 06338-3777 No limit hold’em, NL hold’em shoutouts, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud 8+, Omaha 8+, Pot Limit Omaha High, H.O.S.E. Eligibility: Foxwoods’ website says, …The tournament is open to the public giving anyone the opportunity to mix it up with many top pros and amateurs. Also from the website, Foxwoods WPT World Poker Room is the largest poker room on the East Coast with 104 tables and 24 hours a day of continuous action. With a wide selection of all the most popular games, including Texas Hold’em, 7-Card Stud and Omaha-8 or better, you will find the right fit … I think it is curious that the Foxwoods $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship (effectively, its “Main Event”) will be held at the exact same time that the WSOP Main Event Final Table will be played in Las Vegas. The WPT $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship runs Nov. 5 – 10 and the WSOP Main Event Final Table runs Nov. 7 – 10. It is disappointing because it’s likely that all the poker pros will be in Connecticut instead of viewing the WSOP Main Event Final Table in Las Vegas. waa…waa…waa

Nepal: spiralling protests against a draft constitution NEW ALERT FROM CRISIS GROUP, 2-IX-15 Nepal: Conflict Alert Kathmandu/Brussels: Spiralling protests against a draft constitution have left 23 dead and hundreds injured in Nepal in two weeks. An over-militarised security reaction and inadequate political response from the centre threaten to fuel deep-seated ethnic, caste and regional rivalries less than a decade after the civil war’s end. The major parties should recognise the depth of discontent and the fundamental challenge this poses to the legitimacy of the proposed constitution. A hastily-passed document, weeks after mobilisation of security forces to counter citizens’ protests against it, is unlikely to be the social contract Nepal needs.

Sermon #68 (5th February 2023 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) I’ve given today’s service the title ‘Inquiring Minds’, largely as a nod to The Inquirer, our Unitarian magazine which comes out once a fortnight. We always leave a little pile of copies out in the foyer – enough for everyone – and you’re welcome to take one home for free. Or, as I’m sure the editor and the Inquirer board would like me to remind you, you can subscribe to receive it direct to your doormat or indeed view electronic copies online at inquirer.org.uk. Sermon #67 (15th January 2023 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) I wonder how many among us gathered here this morning – whether in-person, or via zoom – are already familiar with the practice of Spiritual Direction? Perhaps it’s a completely new concept to some, maybe for others it’s something you’d heard of but only had a vague sense of what it’s all about, and I know of at least a few who are seeing Spiritual Directors or who have done so in the past. I can’t quite remember when I first came across the idea but I think it was when I heard of a fellow Unitarian going through the training to become a Spiritual Director about a decade ago. I remember thinking ‘ooh that sounds cool’ and then in the next breath thinking ‘I have no idea what it actually is though’ and having to go and look it up. 22nd August 2022 – Theme Talk for Hucklow Summer School Online – jointly with Rev. Sarah Tinker This talk is in six sections alernating between Sarah (in italics) and Jane (in regular type). Sarah: Surely the Summer School Panel have come up with the ultimate topic this year – Right Relationship. It’s all in there isn’t it? Life, the universe, the whole caboodle – expressed in that pleasingly brief concept. We searched to find the origins of this terminology and though we can’t be sure, it does seem to have appeared first in writings connected with the Society of Friends. Not surprising, as Quakers have long encouraged one another to reflect on their relatedness to other human beings, as well as to God. We have them to thank for the ever useful injunction – ‘recognise something of God in everyone you meet’, which some of us use as a guiding principle to this day. In Unitarian circles I’ve heard that re-stated as ‘recognise the spark of divinity in all that exists’ – widening this circle beyond simply human beings. And the Sufi guidance of ‘this too is me’ is one I’ll come back to later on. 21st August 2021 – Opening Worship for Hucklow Summer School Online So my job tonight is just to introduce our theme – we’ve got five fantastic speakers lined up – and I’ve only got fifteen minutes – but I’m going to offer a few preliminary thoughts on this topic of ‘Why are we here? Discerning our Unitarian mission in an upturned world’. I think it’s important to start with an unflinching acknowledgement that to say we’re living in an ‘upturned world’ is a bit of an understatement. Many of us feel overwhelmed, right now, both with grief at the sufferings of the world and all her people, and our own daily struggles. Many are traumatised and exhausted, navigating loss, uncertainty, conflict, and hardship. Covid is not over. Climate catastrophe is beyond denial. Intersecting injustices are being unveiled every way we turn, and it’s becoming clear how baked-in to the fabric of our society they are, how comprehensively things need to change if we’re to right these wrongs. The modern media landscape renders knowledge of all the world’s suffering inescapable. Sermon #66 (4th December 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) So: Why are we here? There are various ways in which you might choose to take this question. In the first reading, the one Brian gave for us earlier, the question was directed at the individual: ‘Why do you come, John?’ In the sense of: ‘why do you faithfully show up here every week, and muck in to help, when your life is already full-to-bursting with other commitments, and there are plenty of other fun things you might choose to do instead on any given Sunday morning?’ Sermon #65 (27th November 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) I wonder what comes to mind, for you, when you hear the phrase ‘Be Prepared’? Personally, it makes me think firstly of the boy scouts (and the girl scouts). Baden-Powell, the founder of the scouts, wrote over a hundred years ago that to Be Prepared means ‘you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty.’ And more recent versions of the scouting handbook unpack this for the modern day by saying the idea was that ‘Scouts should prepare themselves to become productive citizens and strong leaders and to bring joy to other people. He wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body and to meet with a strong heart whatever challenges await him.’ Sermon #64 (16th October 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) Prayer is a subject we come round to periodically at church – and that’s as it should be – prayer is a core part of what we do together as a religious community and, as such, it’s important to reflect on what it is we’re doing (or not doing), and the hows and whys of it too. Also, prayer is such a big topic, and such a varied practice, that it’s good to come back and approach it from different angles from time to time. So, with the help of a few distinguished poets, I’m just going to add a few thoughts to the ongoing exploration of prayer this morning. Sermon #63 (4th September 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) It’s that time of year again. Even if you’re not personally going ‘back to school’ this week – even if nobody in your house is gearing up to return (and there’s not been a last-minute dash to buy a new school uniform) – there’s a certain back-to-school feeling that descends on most of us in September. Perhaps, like Vanessa Rush Southern in the reading Lucy gave for us earlier, you’ve been minding your own business in Tesco or WHSmith when, under the influence of a ‘Back-to-School’ display, you’ve suddenly become overcome by a pressing urge to get yourself a new pencil case or a lunch box. These rituals which mark a new school year, a new start, suggest ‘all is new and all things are possible again’. Sermon #62 (3rd July 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) As I mentioned at the start of today’s service, this weekend marks 50 years of Pride in London, and I’m pleased to report that a small group of Unitarians had a place in Saturday’s big parade, waving our own flags to proclaim our progressive religious witness, and shout about our commitment to equality. We Unitarians are rightly proud of our track record, having been a bit ahead of the curve in the past, particularly in campaigning for same-sex marriage. This year our Unitarian General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to affirm trans rights and endorse self-declaration of gender identity – great news! – but it’s important not to think that’s ‘job done’ and rest on our laurels. Sermon #61 (12th June 2022 at Essex Church / Kensington Unitarians) Victoria Safford, a Unitarian Universalist minister, once told the story of a child in the Sunday school of her church in New York state. This young boy was overheard by his mum, talking about the UU church they went to, and the little boy said ‘I don’t know the name of it, but the church where we go, we’re really interested in trees. All of us believe in trees.’ His mum, presumably amused by this, but perhaps also a bit concerned about what the boy had been picking up in Sunday school, got in touch with the minister to ask whether it might be time to supplement his understanding with a more comprehensive Unitarian theology. Victoria Safford reflected on this, saying: ‘I don’t know if there is a more comprehensive Unitarian theology. All of us believe in trees. Like my young comrade, I’ve always been “very interested in trees”, meaning I have always (as far back as I can remember) had a spiritual orientation that unfolds itself, reveals itself outside, and inside, one that cannot be contained within any single creed or book or building or tradition.’

Virginia Brooke is a talented and seasoned professional who has been practicing deep integrative bodywork for over 30 years. She is well known and respected in the Hudson Valley for her work and is referred by osteopaths, chiropractors and physical therapists, both in Westchester and Rockland Counties. Her approach integrates both eastern and western bodywork techniques, including myofascial technique, trigger point, reflexology and energy balancing. She combines a deep, clear focus, cultivated from years of meditation, intuition, and the gift of great hands. Each session brings deep healing and renewal for both body and mind. Virginia began her training at the School of Actualism in California in 1973. She was Director of their bodywork department from 1976-1986. During that time she conducted professional bodywork training seminars nationwide. In 1987, Virginia moved to Westchester County, New York, where she maintains a private practice and conducts training seminars for massage therapists and bodyworkers in the tri-state area. Virginia holds a Masters Degree in Counseling and Spiritual Therapy from the New Seminary in New York City. Here are some comments from people who have experienced Ginny’s work: “I an a firm believer in the work of Ginny Brooke for several reasons. Ginny’s more than 30 years in her field is not just about repeating a given format, but rather, about an individual who continues to grow through her experiences. She therefore, provides an ever-changing, professional approach unique to each of her clients. Ginny loves her work and time with her clients. Her energy is limitless and her approach client- specific. This brings a focus and strength to her clients which utilizes both her physical and spiritual energy. The benefit to each person is therefore, multi-dimensional and very healing. Ginny is a strongly ethical person. For these three reasons alone, I cannot endorse Ginny more highly.” -Ginny Geerdes, Teacher, Long -term client “I would not be able to make it through the 10 months of school if not for the magic and insight of Ginny.” -Barbara Turk, High School Teacher “Ginny is an authentic and original bodyworker. She absorbs your presence during the session as her hands reach into the deeper recesses and begin the process of guided transformation.

SHOLLENBEGER SHINDIG 3 - SAT JUNE 15, 2013 What a party for the park! Thank you to everyone who helped make The Shollenberger Shindig 3 a rousing success. Underwriters, donors, volunteers, food vendors all made the evening a wonderful experience and raised the funds needed to preserve and protect Shollenberger Park. To everyone who bought a ticket, brought their friends, participated in the Silent Auction and raffle – everyone who made the time to come out to the Shindig! THANK YOU ALL! THANK YOU TO OUR UNDERWRITERS, without whom we could not have a SUCCESSFUL Shindig! TARA FIRMA FARMS, CAMELBAK, AZURE TOWNHOMES, CHRIS AND LISA DOBSON, MAYA PRODUCTIONS, OWL FOUNDATION, PETALUMA TOMORROW, REACH 360 CHROMA GRAPHICS), OUT WEST GARAGE, LAGUNITAS BREWING, RYAN PHELAN, HILL PARK CLINIC, and many MORE donors. BIG THANK YOU to our Silent Auction donors, Raffle Donors, Food Donors, and Food Vendors. Each and every one has been so generous and supportive of saving Shollenberger Park for the community. Special thanks go to Tara and Craig Smith for donating the use of Tara Firma Farms as our venue this year. BIG THANK YOU to Daniel Gonyea our Tara Firma Event Coordinator and Maestro – his grace and willingness was much appreciated by all. The beautiful Sonoma farmland was an eye-pleasing backdrop to the outstanding performance of Maria Muldaur and her Bluesiana Boys. The farm tours were well attended. We are so grateful to Maria Muldaur and her boys for making a joyful noise unto Mother Earth. People were up on their feet, dancing in the barn, with onlookers enjoying the sight with Lagunitas beer in hand. Maria, you made it a night to remember! What’s a party without libation? Generous Lagunitas donated the beer and Hahn family winery donated the red wine, Willibees (OUR LOCAL WINE SHOP AT D ST AND LAKEVILLE) donated the jockey box to serve the beer. All proceeds went to Friends of Shollenberger. Thanks to each and every volunteer who gave time and effort to make the evening go smoothly from preparation to set up to break down. The Chair people for each committee could run the world – wish they did – they are so talented, organized and hard working. (See our Volunteer poster MUSIC made the evening sing - thank you to all those who pulled off having a concert, in a barn, way out I Street extension. Impossible? – Not for this team: BIG THANK YOU to Susan and Richard Villa for loaning their flat bed trailer for the stage. Susan also provided the homegrown flower arrangements and the vision in the first place to set up the stage and take the back of the tent off. With a view of Sonoma hills behind the band, it was a picture perfect event. And who got that wall off without a hitch - Mike Frost (Scout Construction) and his able assistant Isaac! Special thanks to Cindy Thomas for the loan of her RV for the performers to use as a Green Room and to Tunde Fabien for setting up the Green Room inside it – you both went the extra mile to make them comfortable and make FOS the perfect host to these wonderful performers.

Dale's been engaging the fine people at WorldChanging about enviro related issues, particularly the issue of humanity's tenancy to denaturalize itself and its environment. In Part II of his BH column, Carrico made the very astute observation that both bioconservative and tech-progressive sensibilities, positions and politics have arisen and exert their force uniquely in consequence of what he describes as the ongoing denaturalization of human life in this historical moment. "This denaturalization is a broad social and cultural tendency," writes Carrico, "roughly analogous to and even structurally related to other broad tendencies such as, say, secularization and industrialization." He continues: It consists essentially of two trends: First, it names a growing suspicion (one that can provoke either fear or hopefulness, sometimes in hyperbolic forms) of the normative and ideological force of claims made in the name of "nature" and especially "human nature," inspired by a recognition of the destabilizing impact of technological developments on given capacities and social norms. Second, it consists of an awareness of the extent to which the terms and pace of technological development, and the distribution of its costs, risks and benefits, is emerging ever more conspicuously as the primary space of social struggle around the globe.A couple of days ago I wrote to Dale to congratulate him on his articles. Here's the conversation that ensued: It is a truism that the technical means to eliminate poverty and illiteracy for every human being on Earth have existed since the 18th century, but that social forms and political will have consistently frustrated these ends. The focus for most tech-progressives remains to use emerging technologies to transform the administration of social needs, to provide shelter, nutrition, health care and education for all, as well as to remedy the damaging and destabilizing impact of technology itself on complex, imperfectly understood environmental and social orders on which we depend for survival. To these ends, a deepening and widening of democratic participation in development and accountability of governance through emerging networked information and communication technologies is also crucial. Beyond this, many tech-progressives also champion the idea of morphological freedom, or consensual practices of genetic, prosthetic and cognitive modification considered as personal practices of self-creation rather than as the technological imposition of social conformity figured questionably as "health." Dale, what an excellent set of articles! Your second one was particularly strong. Your notion that denaturalization follows along such trends as secularization and industrialization is a zinger.Dale: I agree with you that the discussion of "denaturalization" is especially promising, but maybe you can help me think through some of the quandaries of the term.George: I have heard some criticisms among environmentalists I respect about this “anti-nature” aspect of my argument. I can see the point of arguments that would say that technology is the *form* human "nature" takes, and I can see the point of arguments that say we depend for our survival on complex systems we imperfectly understand (which seems to be what some people mean by "nature") even if we impact them with our own activity and this must make us especially careful. But I can't for the life of me figure out a way to weave these insights into the point I was making myself about technological destabilization as a risky but promisingly emancipatory force, and "nature" as a word people mostly use just to defend customs that have outlived their usefulness. I want to say culture trumps nature, and human dignity must come from critical freedom not uncritical customs from now on -- but I don't want to deny there is some sense in these objections. Another way of describing denaturalization is the steady encroachment of intelligent interventions in what are normally autonomic processes; consequently, we must be wary of the motives that underlie these interventions. But we must also be wary of those arguments that take a non-interventionist approach, which can sometimes be an indifferent hands-off approach for merely romantic reasons, or sentiments that arise from the fear that we might make the situation worse (and that certain systems are optimized before intelligence intervenes -- a hard argument to sell).Dale: Once thing I don't buy, however, is that the complexity found in natural systems are ineffable and/or intractable. Because complexity is often merely a data or mapping problem, it's just a matter of time and diligence. Another angle would be to include practical applications of personhood ethics in consideration of how it applies to utilitarianism. A trick will be to show a kind of cost/benefit analysis of non-intervention versus intervention in terms of its impact on all living, emotional, and experiential creatures. To do so, the value of say, maintaining a certain biological function for aesthetic (romantic) reasons, would have to be qualitatively determined, and then set against what we value through intervening in the process. Non-interventionists need to be careful, however, in that they risk applying Darwinianism to their ethical worldview, which is not IMO tied into our collective set of values as thinking and compassionate creatures; rather, we need to be Lamarckian as we apply non-anthropocentric personhood values in our dealings with living creatures and systems. I agree with all of this! When I tell people culture should trump nature I've been trying to say in a sloppy too-intuitive way what you are saying here, I think. It's funny, once "culture" is set in motion "hands-off" is always a *kind* of intervention itself, there is no way to not "intervene," the process of intervention has already begun. The question becomes where and how one intervenes, and non-intervention is always non-intervention in processes stamped by ongoing interventions. That's why I agree with you that the very notion of non-intervention is always a romantic mystification, pure ideology. This stuff speaks to the Precautionary Principle discussion too (another topic on which I seem to swim against the tide) -- though for me the key thing with the Principle is not whether it generally recommends stagnation or development but *who* gets to participate in the decision-making about what forms intervention takes.

My point in the above paragraph? Well I have two fold purpose in mind for this particular rant. Point One: As I grow older, I am becoming increasingly aware that how you feel...that is emotionally, attitude-wise, outlook in life...plays a part in now you feel physically. Not related to what I noted in the first paragraph, but part of my job entails doing adult-learning related work. There have been times on occasion when I genuinely don't feel good, suffering from the kind of maladies that strike all of us from time to time. You know what though? For some reason I'm always able to hold it together for that portion of time when I am in front of others. Yeah, there may be the errant sneeze or cough, but by and large my energy level is high, I'm physically moving around a lot, and I am actively engaged in the learning process. Before and after the event I may be the physical equivalent of jello, but when I'm on it's all systems active. Mind over matter if you will. Point Two: I do have sympathy for those engaged in the Wall Street occupation movement*, but I'm not completely sold on everything that is being spouted. I get the distinct impression that some folks...particularly those who are younger...feel there is a "right" to a good job, high pay, a pension, etc. Simply put, there is no such right, and this is a GOOD thing. Why? What we have to enjoy today isn't the result of an entitled citizenry! No, it's the result of people working their asses off in pursuit of more. They wanted more, and they realized that the only true way to have more in life is to work hard and strive to achieve. Life hands us adversity, and we choose how to react to it. We can.... - Choose to whine, cry and complain that we are entitled to stuff and point fingers of envy at those who seem to "have" OR - Choose to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and get back in the game. Maybe my perspective is somewhat different than that of the average 20-something these days. By way of background, I grew relatively poor. My three brother and I lived with our mother in a housing project. Mom worked nights to support us so that she could be there for us during the day. We didn't have a lot, but my mother constantly impressed upon her sons the need to get an education and showed us by example that all work was noble. Fast forward to now and I did get an education and I have a very good job that enables me to do some good things, such as help my children pay for their college educations. What I have now career wise is the product of some luck (being at the right place at the right time), but by and large it is the product of almost persistent hard work and determination. Yeah, there were times when I thought I "should have been promoted" or something like that, but they were fleeting, as I would inevitably come to my senses and remember that the best things in life aren't given to you...they are earned. The common thread to both points above is simple: how you feel matters, and by and large you control how you feel. Yes, we are guaranteed the right to pursue happiness, but there is no actual right to be happy. Oh, and sometimes happiness takes a mighty long time to achieve. The world isn't a video game there rarely is there actually instant gratification. Real gratification comes from a life well lived. (*) There is an element of the Wall Street occupation movement that I do very much "get" , and that has to do with egregiously excessive executive compensation. No executive, no matter what they do, is worth hundreds of times the wages of an average worker.

This infographic from B2B Marketing shows that social media is obviously important within the B2B market but there’s not much strategic planning about how businesses use it. The figures are taken from the Social Media Benchmarking Report produced by B2B Marketing from an online survey with 234 participants. They show that there is little in the way of strategy in the use of their social media, which in turn leads to little or no measurement of what may constitute successful use of social media. It’s often seen as a daunting step to create a social media strategy, but it doesn’t have to be a lengthy document detailing your every move. It can be a simple as jotting down some ideas about why you want to use social media, what channels you are going to use, how you are going to use it and how you are going to measure whether it is working. Why: To raise the profile of the company, drive more traffic to the website and connect with our customers. What: We will use Facebook and Twitter, as these both have large user groups and we believe many of our customers use these channels. How: We will post regular updates about what we are doing as a company, new developments, who we are working with and respond to comments made on our social media channels. Measurements: Increased use of the website, increase in the number of fans and followers in a given period, amount of engagement on Facebook and Twitter. We will review which posts received the most engagements each month to help us see what is of interest to out fans and followers and how we can develop our use of social media in respond to that. You can go into much more detail on all these points of course, and you may well do as your use of social media develops, but even this is better than many business appear to have. Scary!

I know most people here actually code for a living. I'm not quite there in my life because I haven't even put a dent on my ICS degree. But, I'm usually always at Starbucks hacking away at something. Anyone else goto Starbucks or cafe to code? I'm always at Starbucks in Waikele(I also work there). Would be nice to be around developers or we could start a weekly thing going where we meet up, have a coffee, and code even if it is on completely projects!

Living by myself. I haven’t gone crazy yet, if you’re wondering. I’ve just passed the two month mark in my own place. I mean, I’m not surprised, but I thought the solo living anxiety would kick in at some point. It hasn’t. I’ve been able to keep a healthy, productive schedule, with enough balance between exercise and entertainment that I’ve been able to stay sane. I don’t know how long that will last. My friend Jack stayed with me for a couple days this week. It was nice to have him around because I don’t get to see him and his wife Chelsea all that often. He remarked that the apartment still looked pretty simple. He asked if I had all my stuff at my place. I kind of do right now. I have some thing at my parents place, but nothing major. I have bed, couch, chairs, table, books, clothes, and other things here. I’m not hiding much of anything. I also just don’t like to accumulate things. I like being light and agile and ready to move at a moment’s notice. Maybe I just need to breathe. Things aren’t that bad. I don’t know why my mind is sort of blocking things in that regard. Just paint the damn walls already. That nesting instinct still hasn’t kicked in yet. Some part of me feels like I’ll latch on to some other ship at some point in the near future, or that I’ll be forced to move somewhere else. I’ve made my mortgage payments on time, so I’m still good there. Maybe I’m worried that I’ll pick out the wrong color or model of something. Or that I’ll be stuck with some bad purchase. I’ve been known to be flustered by bad purchases and they just stick around somewhere in the basement. That’s what’s frustrating me about my home internet. I wonder if my home value would go down if they found out that 1.5 mbps was the best that could be done. It’s frustrating. I know it sounds like a first world problem, but then you got to remember that lots of things are on the internet: maps, forms, directions, communication, entertainment. Yeah, I like getting off every once in a while, but it’s frustrating when those things don’t work the way wanted them to. My neighbors haven’t been as noisy, but I still haven’t really met most of them. I pass some of them and say hi, but no one has really made the effort to chat for a little bit. That’s a little weird to me. It would be nice to get to know the people who live in the same building. I guess that might happen at some point. I don’t think anyone’s living in the apartment across from mine. There was a cranky looking woman who popped into the building and then into that apartment. It was just really weird. Things are ok, I guess. I’m not lonely. I have beer (thanks Jack). I’m still (relatively) healthy and entertained. It’s pretty good as far as bachelor standards go.

Updated again Saturday morning The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports: Court upholds Episcopal Diocese’s claim to assets. The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has upheld an Allegheny Common Pleas decision awarding centrally held property of the Episcopal diocese that split in 2008 to the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh rather than to the rival Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. About $20 million in endowment funds and other assets is at stake. The ruling has no direct impact on ownership of parish property, other than indicating that Anglican parishes must apply to the Episcopal diocese to negotiate for their property, rather than vice versa. The Anglican diocese has not decided whether to pursue a further appeal. Lionel Deimel has further details of this, see Details of Commonwealth Court Ruling. The full text of the judgment can be read from a PDF file here. There is now a fuller story from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Episcopal diocese wins a legal round. Episcopal Bishop Kenneth Price Jr. welcomed the decision, which arrived the day his diocese reached the first settlement with an Anglican parish. It required that parish to cut ties with the Anglican diocese for five years. “We are pleased with the court’s findings and hope this will be the final legal challenge concerning this issue,” he said. He invited Anglican congregations “to join us in negotiating a settlement to our differences.” Archbishop Duncan, who is also primate of the theologically conservative Anglican Church in North America, hasn’t decided whether to appeal. “The decision of the appellate court is deeply disappointing,” he said. “In the next hours and days the bishop and standing committee will pray and take counsel about our corporate path forward.” The Episcopal Diocese has issued this press release: Appeals Court Upholds Diocese in Assets Case Update This press release has been issued: A Pastoral Letter to the Clergy and People of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh which includes the following paragraph: …The Standing Committee met on Wednesday night, February 2nd. Three important decisions were made. First, we will petition the appellate court for a re-hearing, which means the lower court’s ruling will not yet be final. Second, the Standing Committee and Diocesan leadership (Bishop’s Office, Trustees and Council) will do everything we can to keep all our congregations working together. Third, the Standing Committee will work tirelessly for a negotiated end to the strife between the Anglican and Episcopal Church Dioceses… Pittburgh Post-Gazette Anglican diocese asks court to rehear case The filing, which must be made within 14 days, is not an appeal but an outright request for the same court to hear the case over, citing errors of fact in the ruling which was authored by Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer. “There are some points of fact that are incorrect in the ruling,” said David Trautman, a spokesman for the Anglican diocese. “We are giving the court a chance to correct those errors.” He did not specify the errors the Anglicans contend are in the ruling.

The Bahamas is a popular island destination for many American travelers. The islands have so much to offer for every type of traveler. Tipping is fairly common so use our guide below to figure out when you should tip while traveling around The Bahamas! Taxis: Tipping a taxi driver is common. You should aim to tip about 10% of the fare. Hotels: You should tip the bell boy $1 per bag for bringing your bags up to your room. You should also tip the maid $1-2 a night for cleaning the room. Restaurants: Majority of bills will include a 15% service charge. You should check for this and if its included then you don’t need to tip any extra. Bars: Check for a service charge, if its not included then tip 10% of the bill. Other: Tipping is pretty common in the Bahamas, however don’t expect to tip other then what we mentioned!
