[India], Nov 3 (ANI): What seemed to be a nerve-wracking ODI series ended up with India gaining mastery over visitors West Indies and winning series 3-1. But the solitary three-match T20I series beginning November 4 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata could prove to be a different ball-game altogether.
The Caribbean side comparatively have a better balance in their squad for the shortest format of the game. India have added new players in the squad and in the absence of skipper Virat Kohli, the onus to clinch the T20I series has now been shifted on the shoulders of stand-in captain Rohit Sharma.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan's performance would also be under scrutiny following his poor form in the recently-concluded ODI series.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is going through a lean patch in his career, paved the way for Delhi swashbuckling batsman Rishabh Pant, while Dinesh Karthik has been included as a standby.
Pant has been given an opportunity to prove his worth as a regular wicketkeeper who can amass runs.
A Kohli-less side have also given a chance to KL Rahul and Manish Pandey who would be utilised to solve the middle-order muddle.
Assisting the team with the ball, Krunal Pandya has finally been called up by the national selectors to complement the wrist-spinning pair of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
The trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Khaleel Ahmed have already provided a variety to the team's swing bowling.
West Indies, on the other hand, have added firepower with the return of skipper Carlos Brathwaite. The T20I skipper hogged the limelight when he smashed England's Ben Strokes for four consecutive sixes in the last over to win the 2016 World Cup T20. Denesh Ramdin is another boost to the batting line-up for the Carribean side.
In the bowling department, Ashley Nurse has been left out owing to an injury. Oshane Thomas and Obed McCoy have to make-up for him if they want to restrict the home team.
India: Rohit Sharma (C), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, Krunal Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Khaleel Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Curiouser and curiouser. But not curious enough.
Louise Weaver, 'Golden Snipe', 2010, hand crocheted lambswool over, taxidermied Australian Snipe (Gallinago hardwickii), Australian red cedar (Toonaciliata) cotton perlé crochet thread, cotton embroidery thread, felt, gold leaf.

The exhibition title Curious Colony: A Twenty First Century Wunderkammer appears blessed with potential. Fuelled by the double meaning of the word curious, it seems to promise a probing look at culture, piqued by the curiosity of colonists, as well as offering a bevy of curios or curiosities; artefacts collected to delight and educate. Unfortunately, while the show does have some stunning artworks, it doesn’t come close to the wonder of a wunderkammer.
In Curious Colony, colonial and post-colonial artworks are presented simultaneously. Instead of crashing head on, starting a fist fight or even a healthy slanging match, mostly, they seem to get on ever so nicely. To my surprise, many of the contemporary artworks seem to mimic or pay homage to colonial artefacts rather than engaging in a critique of colonisation or even taking a critical look at our current culture. The specially commissioned Newcastle Chest, a new cabinet of curiosities, filled by contemporary artists, was most disappointing in this way.
Louise Weaver presents taxidermied birds, exquisitely dressed in meticulously constructed suits crocheted in bright colours. Her sculptures are opulent and desirable. They seem funny and fey at first, but then the realisation dawns that there is something awful about kitting-out dead animals in fancy dress. I can’t decide. Is Weaver’s work an endorsement of the practice of killing animals for collections, or an oblique critique dripping with irony? If it’s a critique, the birds paid with their lives to make the point. Very ironic indeed.
Joan Ross, still from 'When I grow up I want to be a forger', 2010. Courtesy the artist and Gallery Barry Keldoulis.
The stand out (new) piece in Curious Colony is the video, When I grow up I want to be a forger, by Joan Ross (discussed earlier on The Post Post). Here, her video is presented alongside its source material, Joseph Lycett’s 1824 etching, The Sugar Loaf Mountain, Near Newcastle, NSW. Ross responds to this colonial gem and makes it her own by transforming it into a witty, intelligent and incisive post-colonial critique of foreign invasion.
Danie Mellor treads similar territory, but his sculptural tableaux, The Native’s Chest, which features a coffin covered in smashed white crockery, stuffed parrots, a kangaroo and an emu, is heavy handed in comparison.
The real highlights of this exhibition are the colonial works: etchings, paintings, books and even silver mounted emu eggs by artists who, for all their dastardly colonial ways, were genuinely curious and found Australia truly wondrous. Our indigenous people, flora and fauna were so strange to them they couldn’t quite see straight. Their impressions are smoothed out, more ordered and tamer than the real. It’s both disturbing and intriguing to catch a glimpse of our Curious Colony through their eyes.
Curious Colony is on at the SH Ervin Gallery until February 20, 2011.

This HEA-funded project is led by Plymouth University, in collaboration with Durham University, University Campus Suffolk and the Higher Education Development, Evaluation & Research LP (HEDERA). The project involved a national audit of continuing professional development (CPD) activities for teaching and learning across the HE sector in the UK. The project produced a CPD evaluation toolkit. CPD Final report.
Research has shown that acute problems exists where there is dissonance between teaching and learning concepts propagated on an educational development programmes and those preferred by the discipline as a result of the distinct epistemological underpinnings of knowledge in different subjects. While ‘education’ and the ‘arts’ are similar in epistemological terms, research has shown that many ‘arts’ practitioners disconnect with the content of development. This project aims to develop an understanding of the epistemological and practical challenges ‘arts’ practitioners experience when engaging with developmental programmes. Final report.
The primary aim of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the views of Dental Foundation trainers on the preparedness for practice of their dental trainees. At present there is minimal evidence in the literature to assess the perceptions of other groups of professional stakeholders on how well these graduates are prepared when they leave dental school. The second aim of this research is to explore possible explanations for similarities and/or differences in perceived graduates’ preparedness by comparing graduates’ ethnicity, gender, and age. Poster- Do trainers think their new dental trainees are prepared for practice?

A report commissioned by IBM concluded that Technical Information Security Skills are in short supply and that this is creating vulnerability and risk in business. The research, carried out by Forrester Research Inc., revealed that even mature organisations are facing increased risk exposure due to difficulty sourcing and retaining Information Security talent.
Overall, 80% of Chief Information Security Officers are finding it difficult or very difficult to recruit technical security staff that met all their needs, according to the research. A range of issues are feeding this difficulty and the resulting concerns about rising risk levels include some very disturbing elements, as unfilled roles create anxiety. Only 8% of respondents said that they didn’t have a problem with security staffing issues.
The remaining 92% identified some key areas for concern that any business should be considering, regardless of whether or not they think they have security talent issue. Whilst the solution for many businesses has been to recruit further down the experience ladder, you can see from the kind of pinch points identified here, that this is not a sustainable solution. Whilst it may ‘fill a security role’ it is not filling the right one.
These result show us that not only that there is an increased risk to business from the skill shortage but that the kind of risk business is facing is not simply about architecture and cyber threat but also about the prevention of growth and agility. These are positive contributions that security can make and their inclusion as potential risks show a willingness to move security out of the cost column and into the investment column, but again this is being thwarted by the skill shortage. This may reveal itself in a lack of confidence in moving certain functions or activities to The Cloud or perhaps not instituting Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Whilst it is better not to do these things if you do not know if they are within your organisation’s Risk Appetite, if you do not know what that Appetite is and there is no one sufficiently knowledgeable and skilled to be able to ascertain this and then mitigate the risk if appropriate, then an organisation may be disadvantaged. This might mean it becomes a less appealing choice for potential new and highly skilled employees for other parts of the organisation, who perhaps demand BYOD as standard along with the flexibility it brings.
Commercially, robust security and resilience is becoming a must have and increasingly organisations are being asked to demonstrate and prove themselves in these areas. Businesses that have worked with Her Majesty’s Government and the Public Sector will be familiar with their extensive security requirements for instance, but others are now finding that if they want to grow their business, the onus is on them to be able to prove their security credentials. This pressure is coming from larger organisations not just public bodies, as they realise how important it is for their supply chain to be resilient. Again this is a real stumbling block if you simply do not have the in-house skills to handle a project like ISO27001 certification or compliance. So the risks that are immediately apparent in terms of what might happen to a business without the appropriate level of security skill are actually more convoluted than they first appear.
A perception of security as a business enabler is one that many security professionals have tried to promote for a long time and the idea of growing a business within its Risk Appetite is common sense. For too long the perception of Security has been that Security will just say no to innovation, change and anything even vaguely risky-sounding. It is disappointing to think that just as the paradigm looks ripe to shift (in the right direction) that it is being stymied by a lack of high level skills. All of these challenges presuppose the organisation has the budget to be able to employ the skilled person they need.
Physical Security like manned guarding has been on the outsource list for many years, Information Security has not always been viewed the same way. Depending on the level of challenge, size of organisation and actual (not perceived) threat and risk, there may be a viable alternative to a full time senior technical security person, through outsourcing. Perhaps if the challenge is to get through a particular project then the high level skillset may only be required at certain times, not constantly. If there is a tipping point at which the need for the skills is justified commercially this may come a lot sooner if there is an opportunity of filling the gap without actually having to finance an FTE with all of the cost that entails. Given the difficulty in sourcing the high level skills, the best talent is following the money, leaving many organisations in an uncertain security vacuum. Outsourcing may be the solution on either a project or buy as you need type basis. It may provide a much more cost effective solution to a convoluted set of challenges that are not showing any sign of going away or simplifying. It may also mean a level of skill and experience far in excess of that which may have been within budget for an FTE.
Of course, making sure you are certain of your partner in any outsourcing endeavour is vital and due diligence on potential suppliers is vital. As a rough guide here are some questions you should be asking.
Does my partner understand my organisation and its business drivers and growth imperatives?
Can they provide qualifications, certifications, track record, references, case studies and a cultural fit?
Are they flexible enough for my needs? Are they able to flex up and down as required or am I going to be rigidly contracted to a number of days per month?
Do we have specialist or generalist needs?
Do we want access to an expert individual or a team of experts?
Do we want Strategy, Policy, Risk skills?
Do we want our partner to be capable of working successfully with C-level stakeholders or at the ‘coalface’ or both?

Robyn is considered to be one of Canada’s promising young vocalists who has successfully established herself as a true-to-form music stylist. Her live performances are an experience not to be missed. Aside from the multiple venues Robyn continues to sell out when she performs, she has made multiple appearances on national television, including Canada AM, Global TV, Breakfast Television, The New VR and Cable 14. Robyn has been featured on the cover of The Hamilton Magazine and has had countless radio, magazine and newspaper interviews. Robyn Pauhl is a dynamic, professional and incredibly talented young woman who never ceases to amaze her fans and audiences.
On July 4, 2003 Robyn officially released her first jazz and blues CD, which music critics hailed as a victory for and independently produced, first-time CD release. Since then she has performed at many festivals and clubs promoting her CD "One For My Baby", which has continuously been played on the radio across Canada. Presently, Robyn is in the process of writing her new all original rock, blues and R&B album. This highly anticipated album will be released at a later date to be announced.
At just twenty-four, Robyn already bears some imposing credentials. She has opened shows for U.S. country stars George Jones at Lulu's in Kitchener, Loretta Lynn at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton and the International Center in Toronto As well as for some eminent Canadian country acts such as Michelle Wright, Prairie Oyster, Jason McCoy, Beverly Mahood, Jim Witter, jazz artist Carol Wellsman and most recently Robyn performed in concert with world renowned jazz bassist, Dave Holland.
An enthralling performer, Robyn has a voice that has enough power and range to make it worth remarking on. Robyn sounds as if her passion could swallow the world. What lifts her performances miles above nastalgia is that she delivers her feelings with astonishing power and ebullience. One can see the emotional intensity that Robyn brings to everything she sings. There is a sincerity in her singing that pierces her audiences, spurring an immediate connection to her listeners.
Her love for country started at age ten and she was cleaning house at singing competitions. Next she went on to placing first at the Canadian National Exhibition's Country Singing Contest. Then in 1997 she won the Ontario Country Music Association's Rising Star Award. At fifteen, Robyn decided to get some studio experience and went to Nashville to complete a six song music demo with Odie Blackmon. Robyn's love for music extended into her high school life where she was the lead singer for the school's jazz band.In 2000, Robyn joined the Hamilton All Star Jazz Band, as the lead singer for two years. They performed at many venues including Hamilton Place with the Philharmonic, the Rex Hotel in Toronto, Hess Village Jazz Festival, Redeemer College and Tivoli theatre. They also recorded a live jazz CD, which was released at the beginning of January 2003.
Recently, Robyn successfully completed the three year program at Humber College on a full academic scholarship for vocal jazz performance, while continuing her career as a much-booked singer throughout Ontario. She was the lead vocalist in The Denny Christianson's Humber College Studio Jazz Ensemble. This group played at numerous venues throughout the year including, festivals, The Rex Hotel in Toronto and The Jazz FM 91.1 Sound of Toronto Jazz Concert Series, which was recorded live at Humber College and broadcasted on the radio at a later date. The ensemble also backed-up guest artists such as world renowned bassist Dave Holland and Canadian jazz vocalist Ranee Lee who performed in concert at Humber this year. As well this group recorded a new CD in the spring of 2005 at the CBC recording studio in Toronto, which is dated to be released this winter 2006.
At age two, Robyn would love to watch musical movies repeatedly. Her favourite movies were "The Sound of Music" and "Annie". Robyn learned how to rewind and play the VCR before she turned two years old. She confidently would sing all the words without missing a beat. A fun loving girl and entertainer, she learned to play the ukelele in grade three. Robyn began performing publically at age nine after discovering Patsy Cline at ten years old. Robyn had a true love for country. Robyn's grandmother played "Walkin' After Midnight" for her and Robyn recalls "immediately liking the record because of the emotion and the way Patsy sang." Robyn's musical influences include such artists as Trisha Yearwood, Patsy Cline, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Chet Baker, Janis Joplin, and Susan Tedeschi. She states, "I admire these singers because they sing from their hearts. They have a passion in their singing and they sing quality songs."
As Robyn moves forward with her career she will continue to perfect her craft as a vocalist and apply her knowledge of theory, composition, arranging for small and large ensembles, as well as the art of improvisation to her music. By the age of eleven was playing and singing across Ontario. Since then her mature voice and attitude towards the music business propelled her quickly to the forefront of the Canadian Music Scene. Robyn, a high achiever applied herself to the "ins and outs" of the music business quickly laying the foundation for a long and successful career in the industry. A talented young woman beautiful on the inside and outside, Robyn left audiences wanting to hear just one more song!

"I am excited about continuing my education at SNHU, and I know success is in my future."
During my undergraduate program, it was difficult for me to find my place academically, I struggled in a program that wasn't right for me, but once I started in the communication program my interest peaked, and my grades improved, and I knew this was the program for me; unfortunately, my grades weren't enough to save my GPA before I graduated. I was unable to find a job after graduation, so I made the decision to continue my education; with my low GPA I knew I had to find a school that was willing to give me a chance. I am thankful for SNHU's MA in Communication. I am excited about continuing my education at SNHU, and I know success is in my future.

The instructions regarding bulk deposits were last reviewed in January 2013 and defined as single rupee deposits of Rs 1 crore and above.
RBI also proposed that banks would maintain their bulk deposit interest rate cards in the core banking system for supervisory review.
Banks have been given discretion to offer differential rate of interest on the bulk deposits as per their requirements and asset-liability management (ALM) projections.
Interest rate on bulk deposits are marginally higher than smaller-amount fixed deposits for similar maturity period.
In a statement, the RBI said that with a view to enhance the operational freedom of banks in raising deposits, it is proposed to revise the definition of bulk deposits "as single rupee deposits of Rs 2 crore and above".
It also proposed that banks would maintain their bulk deposit interest rate cards in the core banking system for supervisory review.
The RBI also said it would "shortly" take a decision on a proposal for setting up an umbrella organisation (UO) for urban cooperative banks.
The proposal was mooted by the National Federation of Urban Cooperative Banks and Credit Societies Ltd. (NAFCUB).
The structure, size, lack of avenues for raising capital funds and limited area of operation of the primary (urban) co-operative banks (UCBs) add to their financial vulnerabilities.
A long-term solution to make the UCB sector financially resilient and to enhance the depositors' confidence is to set up an UO as prevalent in many countries.
The idea of setting up of UO for the UCB sector was first mooted in 2006 by the working group set up by the RBI on the augmentation of capital of UCBs.
It was examined in greater detail by the working group on UO and Constitution of Revival Fund for Urban Cooperative Banks in 2009 and the Expert Committee on Licensing of New Urban Co-operative Banks in 2011.
The need for UO has also been stressed by the high-powered committee on UCBs in 2015.
The UO, apart from extending liquidity and capital support to its member UCBs, would also be expected to set up information and technology (IT) infrastructure for shared use of members to enable them to widen their range of services.
It can also offer fund management and other consultancy services.
The central bank further said it would come out with a discussion paper on comprehensive guidelines covering payments-related activities of intermediaries like payment gateway providers and payment aggregators.

A strong company culture attracts top talent and most importantly, retains that talent for years to come.
Your company culture reflects what your organization stands for, and as the voice of your business, your employees are vital to ensuring that it succeeds. Therefore, the first step is to clarify what your culture actually is and then make sure that your employees are on board.
Start by defining your company values, beliefs, purpose, mission, and standards. Then communicate these through your spoken words, written words, and actions – over and over again.
You will be partway to creating a strong culture when your employees start telling you about the company values and mission. Until then you need to continue to clarify and communicate them.
In my previous article, I wrote about how to be successful you need to connect with your self, others, and the world. All too often I work with business leaders who on the one hand talk about the importance of having meaningful relationships, yet on the other hand, they do not prioritize their schedules to include quality time with loved ones.
Expectations – Are you holding yourself to the same expectations that you hold for your employees? Do you actively listen to them? Do you respect them? Do you make yourself available for them? Do you collaborate with them? Do you treat them well and reward them for their high performance?
Focus on your employee's well-being.
Employee stress at work or home affects your business. Impacts range from over-reacting to everyday challenges through to lack of sleep or low energy preventing them from performing at the top of their game.

Walter Payton raises the standard for pro football's Hall of Fame. Meant to honor the game's greats, the Hall needs a special wing in Canton, Ohio, to separate the truly greats. Some players have no peers.
When Payton, elected Saturday, is inducted this summer, his bust should be mounted on a higher pedestal. It should be placed on the ground, where he gained so many more yards than any other running back that he has tilted the field. The bust should be required to move constantly. Somehow, modern technology could concoct a hologram, a video machine, a perpetual-motion tribute. To make Walter Payton stand still in a museum is to do him dishonor.
His 16,726 yards represent one of sport's most awesome records. Some perspective: Eric Dickerson is second with 13,168. Payton's 27 percent margin dwarfs almost all other significant record-breaking in sports. Hank Aaron's 755 home runs broke the record of Babe Ruth's 714 by 6 percent.
Young Dallas running back Emmitt Smith, first back-to-back rushing champion since Dickerson, would have to average his current 1,401-yard pace for nine more seasons to surpass Payton.
In an astonishing testimony to durability, Payton played more games than any other running back, 72 more than Jim Brown (190 to 118). Payton carried the ball 3,838 times, 889 times more than runner-up Franco Harris. Payton missed only one game in 13 seasons, nursing a sore ankle as a rookie that later he wouldn't have been allowed on an injury report. He regretted it. "Toughness" would have been a better nickname than "Sweetness."
But to measure Payton by yardstick is like characterizing the Taj Mahal by its plumbing.
"It's grossly unfair to judge Walter Payton solely on the yards he gains," said former Bears General Manager Jim Finks, who drafted him. "He is a complete football player, better than Jim Brown, better than O.J. Simpson."
Alone, Payton elevated a terrible football team to respectability. But he was so good, so reliable, he sometimes was accused of holding the Bears back. When he set the single-game record of 275 yards, the Bears managed to beat the Vikings by the embarrassing margin of 10-7.
Teammates were taken aback by his combination of greatness and silliness. No man ever played harder. No kid ever loved it more.
"He's still trying to be the best tailback on the 10th-grade team," defensive lineman Dan Hampton once said.
"My lasting memory will be more of practice-going outside day in and day out and seeing Walter in a state of perpetual motion," safety Gary Fencik said. "If he's not running the ball, he's on the sideline throwing it or kicking it. I think that reflects in a real positive way how much Walter really loves playing football."
His most famous run was the one NFL Films replays of him bouncing off practically every defender on the Kansas City Chiefs. Some of his greatest runs weren't even runs at all, but goal-line leaps that defied gravity. Against Buffalo in 1979, Payton took off from the 2-yard line and landed a yard deep in the end zone on his helmet on fourth and 1, fourth quarter. The Bears won 7-0.
"I was halfway standing up and he still leaped over my head," Buffalo nose tackle Fred Smerlas said. "He's like a fly."
Payton's brother Eddie, who played for NFL several teams as a kick returner, had another comparison.
"I think he had a previous life," Eddie said. "He must be the reincarnation of a great white shark. If he stops moving forward, he will die."
His coaches did their best to pin him down with words.
Jack Pardee: "You have to hold your blocks a long time for Walter because he's liable to sweep both ends on the same play."
Neill Armstrong: "That kid would be the greatest one-man show ever seen. He could punt, kick off, kick extra points, kick field goals, pass, catch, block. A phenomenal athlete."
Mike Ditka: "He's the best complete football player I ever saw. Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson, Gale Sayers-all of them had talent and excelled. But this guy takes pride in the little things, the blocking, the faking. Once against Cincinnati, he picked up a couple of linebackers and liked to have killed them."
Payton on himself: "I'm like the Marines. Put me in there to do the hard work."
More Payton: "I want to be remembered like Pete Rose. Charlie Hustle. Somebody who stands for hard work and total effort."
Payton at his best: "I'm not a role model. I'm just Walter Payton. If kids see some good in me they can utilize and emulate and make their lives better, so well and so good. But they have to realize I'm human just like anybody else. I'm capable of making mistakes. I'm capable of making the wrong decision. They should realize that. Nobody's perfect. Please don't put that on me, because I'm not perfect."
His body may have been perfect. When Fred O'Connor, his first Bears position coach, saw him, he said, "When God decided to create Walter, He said, `I'm gonna make me a halfback.' "
Trainers studied his style to understand how he avoided serious injury. The Bears' Fred Caito said he had "tremendous gluteal strength" and weight coach Clyde Emrich said, "When Walter went down the assembly line, everything was a chrome-plated part."
He ran on his toes by design and did not bend his knees as much as ordinary backs do, preferring instead to swing his leg from the hip.
At barely 5-10 and a compact 202 pounds, Payton was a power runner with such a burst that he expended too much energy in his first few steps to outrun defensive backs. His only flaw was his reluctance to run out of bounds, even to stop the clock. He would rather punish a tackler than let the tackler punish him.
"I figure it's similar to trying to rope a calf," Minnesota cornerback Bobby Bryant once said. "It's hard enough to get your hands on him, and once you do, you wonder if you should have."
When he had arthroscopic surgery on both knees after the 1983 season, Payton called it his "11,000-yard checkup."
"I don't even consider him a rare breed," said Bears personnel chief Bill Tobin, who had an easy time scouting him in 1975. "I just consider him a total, special, special individual. He's a complete phenomenon, in my opinion, and the best player I've ever, ever seen or hope to ever see."
Payton was not without ego. Although a consummate team player, he sometimes got annoyed when his consistency was ignored while flashier backs came and went.
"Sometimes I'm overlooked," Payton said. "Every year, when someone new comes up, people say, `That's it.' It's like good shoes or a Stetson hat that keeps its shape year after year. People still talk about the fads. I'll just stay what I am."
When he failed to score a touchdown in the 1985 Super Bowl, Ditka apologized for allowing William Perry to score in the 46-10 game and quarterback Jim McMahon apologized for following Ditka's orders. Payton appeared to pout afterward, leaving an unfortunate impression on fans who wanted to enjoy the celebration.
By 1985, Payton was no longer the focus of the offense. But he later explained his disappointment by saying: "It wasn't because of the touchdown. It was because I was expecting the Super Bowl to be the greatest game I ever played." Circumstances didn't require him to have a great game. The anticipation had overwhelmed the event.
From the start, he always said he was going to play "three more years." He never wanted to reveal goals or career plans because he didn't want people to stick him with expectations. But shortly before breaking Brown's long-standing record of 12,312 yards, Payton revealed: "I want to set the record so high that the next person who tries for it, it's going to bust his heart."

The National Army Museum includes the Sixteenth Queen's Lancers in its "famous units," explaining that its "first Indian posting culminated in the First Sikh War (1845-46), during which one of its squadrons charged an enemy cavalry force ten times its numbers at Aliwal before going on to rout the artillery and infantry behind them." It is hard to exaggerate the fame of this victory at the time. The army historian Sir John Fortesque described it as "the battle without a mistake" (qtd. in Featherstone 57). The credit went to Major-General Sir Harry Smith (1787-1860), who was created a baronet, with the special designation "of Aliwal," as well as receiving his army promotion. His conduct in this First Sikh War, and especially this battle, also won him the grand cross of the Bath, and the thanks of both houses of parliament, the East India Company, and the Duke of Wellington, who was the army's commander-in-chief. In addition, he was granted the freedom of both London and Glasgow, and an honorary LLD at Cambridge, the latter bestowed on him at the installation of Prince Albert as chancellor (see Vetch and Benyon).
ALIWAL: To the memory of the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and Privates above inscribed of the Sixteenth Queen's Lancers, who fell in the discharge of their duty during the campaign on the Sutlej in the years 1845, 1846, this monument is erected by their surviving comrades.

Thank you so much for your comments and e-mails on my big reveal post. We’re both so thrilled and the support absolutely means the world to me. I was on cloud nine feeling all of the love.
Now back to decor…the other day I was looking for a very affordable outdoor table and chairs. I was blown away by how expensive outdoor furniture is, even at the big box stores or used on Craigslist.
Alas, it finally hit me like a ton of bricks…Ikea. Duh. Ikea. Sure, it will not be your forever outdoor furniture. But, there is a time in all of our lives when Ikea is where it’s at. Anyone ever had the Applaro Drop Leaf Table?
I haven’t even seen it in person but at $129 I’m sold. Anyone else ready for summer and a cocktail (make my virgin for now)?
I think Ikea is a great solution for outdoor furniture. Since we bought our house, I’ve been looking for a table and chairs and the options I like (French bistro sort of style) are all thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of dollars. I wouldn’t feel terrible if the Ikea options lasted only a couple of seasons.
I have this and love it! I’m going on year 6 with it. It does need upkeep with the stain, though (fades to gray color after two winters). Also, congrats on your pregnancy!
I also have this table plus the bench and folding chairs.and actually like that it fades to a gray weathered look. We even power washed it to fade more quickly. I say go for it!

With our abundance of beautiful zucchini from our garden, I decided to give this recipe a try. It exceeded my expectations, and was quick and easy to prepare.
After slicing up 2 huge zucchinis, I combined 1 cup of Panko, 1/2 cup of parmesan, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. In small batches I dredged my fries through flour, then beaten egg, and then my Panko mixture.
Place a cooling rack (or 2) on top of your baking sheet and coat thoroughly with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the fries begin to turn golden brown. Enjoy this delicious guilt free snack plain or pair it with aioli, marinara, or ranch dressing.
nice! I wish I had an abundance of anything in my garden!!! I wish I even had a garden I can’t keep herbs alive!!! I love zucchini fries with a spicy aioli!
Do you make your own aioli? If so, do you have a favorite recipe that you like to share??
Yes I have! We’ll sort of. Aioli is essentially mayo based, so I just use store bought olive oil based mayo and add ingredients from there. I’ve never made mayo from scratch. I’ve made a horseradish aioli and a Sriracha aioli.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After being idle for three weeks, the Wesleyan women's crew competed in the two-day 54th Annual Head of the Charles Regatta. On Sunday, the Varsity Eight boat placed sixth of 28 in the Women's Collegiate Eights. The 2017 Women's Collegiate Eights Champion, Bates, won the event for the second-straight year with a time of 18:18.054.
The Charles River had tough conditions during the race on Sunday, with high winds and rough water. Despite this, the Varsity Eight boat crossed the finish line with a time of 19:15.840, good for sixth place. There were just five seconds separating Wesleyan from third and fourth place finishers, Ithaca and Smith College.
Just a half an hour later, the Wesleyan Women's Varsity 4 boat competed, placing 11th overall in the 40-team field with a time of 22:02.002, ahead of Little Three rivals Williams and Amherst.
On Saturday, the Women's Club Fours finished 34th in the 52-boat field with a mark of 20:36.125. The event featured a number of Division I programs, including top-three finishers, Marist (18:44.285), Tennessee (18:44.443) and Dartmouth (18:56.453).
The women's team also had an alumni boat race in the Women's Alumni Eights on Saturday, placing 28th out of 36 with a time of 19:31.977.

Design and construction of a pulsatile flow generator.
The goal of this project is to design a bench top pulsatile flow generator to create a flow that is pulsatile, uniform, and reproducible. The design consists of a piston that is driven using a variable speed motor. The rectified sinusoidal pulse is created through the use of a slider crank mechanism and several one-way valves. The resulting pressure waveform was measured as it traveled through tubes made of different materials, determining the effects of material compliance. There were design improvements that were designed and modeled including cams and linkages.

The Trent Community Research Centre will be taking place on Monday, March 25th, from 9 a.m. - noon in the Trent University Student Centre Atrium. Come out to learn more about the variety of community-based research projects Trent students have completed throughout the 2018/2019 academic year.
As of July 1, 2018, The Trent Community Research Centre (TCRC) has been formally integrated into Trent University. For more than twenty years, the Trent Community Research Centre, and its predecessor, the Trent Centre for Community-Based Education, have worked in partnership with Trent University to create a unique community-based research and education program that has contributed to community organizations and experiential learning opportunities for students. The Trent Community Research Centre looks forward to strengthening and expanding its relationships in the community. Through its projects, the TCRC continues to support local organizations and provide meaningful community-based research opportunities for Trent students.
Community-based research brings together the knowledge and research needs of the community with the research expertise of Trent University faculty and students. Research questions come from a wide range of community groups and organizations including local municipalities, social service agencies, conservation authorities, and community interest groups. Organizations submit project proposals to the Trent Community Research Centre . Once projects have been reviewed by research staff, faculty and community experts, these opportunities are promoted to students and instructors. Centre staff work alongside faculty to support students in their work and help guide projects toward successful outcomes for both the local community and students.
The work involved and time commitment needed for project completion can vary greatly. Community-Based Research (CBR) projects can be carried out as full- or half-credit undergraduate courses, undergraduate or Master's thesis, major research paper, PhD dissertation, or as an assignment within a course. Projects can commence at the beginning of Fall, Winter, or Summer terms. The TCRC provides support to students in the selection of projects that match their interests and program requirements, and ongoing support throughout their research.
Learn more about the different ways of doing community-based research as an undergraduate or graduate student.
Every year, the TCRC supports over 100 Trent students as they do community-based research in the Peterborough area. The opportunity to do research that has an immediate, positive impact in their community often motivates students to do outstanding work. Browse the following examples of completed projects to get a sense of the exceptional work students do with us.
Harper Creek is an ecologically sensitive area in the south end of Peterborough. Increasing levels of stormwater runoff into the creek are one concern, so Emily’s project mapped the watershed to determine the highest priority locations for rain gardens and other projects that reduce runoff and mitigate flood risk.
Emily’s project won the TCRC Academic Achievement in a Community Setting Award at our Celebration of Community Research in March 2017.
Situation Tables are a new approach to delivering social services to individuals experiencing acute risk due to mental health, substance abuse, poverty, or other issues. They have been used in the Peterborough area for only a couple of years. Callum Stanford’s project evaluated their success and made recommendations for how they could be more effective.
Callum’s project won the TCRC Community Impact Award at our Celebration of Community Research in March 2017.
Early diversion programs reduce the criminalization and incarceration of vulnerable populations by diverting them away from the criminal justice system and towards relevant services and supports.
Trent Browett and Scott Maufront studied Peterborough’s pre-charge diversion program in order to recommend how it could be used more effectively. Their results are already making a difference in how the Peterborough Police Service responds to at-risk individuals who have committed crimes.
In 2015, the New Canadians Centre wanted to learn more about how residents of Peterborough perceived the city’s immigrant community.
Sabina Thiessen conducted interviews, distributed questionnaires, and designed a focus group to help the New Canadians Centre find the answers they were looking for. Sabina’s research found that people’s opinions about immigration are generally positive, though there are also common concerns and worries about increasing immigration levels.
In the past few years Lang Pioneer Village has showcased historical re-enactments of Fenian raids, but realized that their historical work could use more background research. Creighton Avery’s project documented the historical connection of the Peterborough area militia units to the Fenian raids of 1866 to 1870.
For her efforts, Creighton was awarded the Innovative Presentation award at the 2013 Community Innovation Forum.
If you have research questions you can’t find the answers to, we can help. We’ll connect your organization with passionate researchers to work on your behalf.
Pursuing community-based research is a rewarding way to complete your education. Your research will answer important questions and will help to build a better Peterborough.
If you have an idea for a research project, a community group you want to work with, or a student you think would be a good candidate for an independent project, please get in touch.

Artificial voices may sound mechanical, but they’re getting better all the time — and people seem to respond to them as if they’re from real people. Cliff Nass explains how old brains respond — exquisitely — to new technologies, as learned in working on new BMWs.
Humans are evolved to talk: Speech involves more parts of the brain than any other activity. People with IQ scores as low as 50 or brains as small as 400 grams (one-third the size of a normal human brain) can speak. By the age of 18 months, children start learning a new word every two hours and keep going at that rate through adolescence.
Humans are also evolved to listen. Four days after birth, babies can distinguish their native language from other languages. Humans are so tuned to speech that the right ear (left brain hemisphere) shows a clear advantage in processing native language, while the left ear (right hemisphere) attends to all other sounds.
Language arguably evolved primarily to transmit social information. People rapidly categorize voices in terms of gender, personality, emotion, who is speaking and place of origin from such speech characteristics as pitch, cadence, volume, pitch range and word speed. Each of these categories guides us on whom to like, whom to trust and with whom to do business. Sensitivity to voice and language cues has played a critical role in interpersonal interactions for as long as we have lived in social groups.
Technology is adding a new dimension to language. People routinely use voice input and voice output systems to check airline reservations, order stocks, control cars, play games, dictate text into a word processor and a host of other tasks. Consumers can “converse” with handheld or mobile devices as well as household appliances. Because voice interfaces tap into our highly developed speaking and listening skills, they are intrinsically comfortable, easy-to-use and efficient.
How does our old brain react to new technologies? More than 50 research studies done in my lab and others around the world show that people behave toward and draw conclusions about voice-based technology using the same rules and shortcuts that they normally apply to other people. Technological voices, just like the voices of other people, voice-activate the parts of the brain associated with social interaction.
Even machine-synthesized voices exhibit personality: Extroverts prefer products described by a voice that seems extroverted, while introverts will buy more after listening to voice that seems introverted.
A happy voice in a car will make happy people drive better, while people who are upset drive better with a subdued voice.
When a technology doesn’t “understand” what a person said, it should never apologize — modesty makes the system seem dumb.
People are more creative and honest when speaking into a wireless microphone than when they speak into a headset microphone.
To draw these conclusions, we start with an appreciation of the evolutionary grounding of speech. To confidently provide a design idea or a psychological principle, we test and refine numerous hypotheses. In the accompanying essay, I’ll talk about the research behind the selection of a voice for use in the BMW Five Series.

SAN FRANCISCO, 19 SEPTEMBER 2008 It's so unfair that Sarah Palin is being besmirched for her association with the infamous Ted Stevens "Bridge to Nowhere" project. After all, she resisted the actual construction of the bridge (though she kept the federal funds earmarked for it).
As she ascends to the national stage, however, she will need to address loftier policy goals from the bully pulpit of the vice presidency. And she will need to address questions about her policy plans during the vice-presidential debate.
On domestic policies, she is sure to be asked about problems like the American mortgage crisis, the unemployment accompanying the collapse of the national construction boom, homelessness, the need to combat global warming, civil rights for ethnic minorities, and education.
On foreign policy, she will no doubt be pressed on plans to protect our border with Russia, the foreign country of which she has such special knowledge; and on defense she will have to strengthen the American military.
As a leading voice of her party and a person of special integrity, she will also need answers that call upon the traditional American and especially Alaskan pioneer spirit of self-reliance, jazz-like improvisation and innovation.
3: Have self-reliant, homeless, unemployed Americans build Ice McMansions on public land along the eastern shore of Alaska and the Aleutians. Several designs will be offered, each a scale replica of one of the homes of Senator McCain, embellished with authentic native Alaskan architectural and sculptural details.
This will encourage them to protect the environment of which they are now a part. It will also reduce their SUV usage and commute time (after all, there are no roads, and no bridges back from nowhere), which will cut our reliance on foreign oil, lower greenhouse gas emissions and increase time families spend together at home.
4: Homeless veterans could be given preferential placement in the program. Issue them free guns, and use the newly fortified and manned defensive perimiter of McMansions to keep the Russkies at bay. At the same time, they can exercise humane animal control of the exploding Caribou population, and fight obesity and diabetes by subsisting on a low-carb diet of wild game and locally grown plant matter. Charming recipes for venison will be provided by the governor's former personal chef.
5. Enlist non-veterans and vets alike in the Alaska National Guard to provide them with jobs, or volunteer them for the Army, and form a special Polar Command. To improve healthcare, fund the VA hospital system with earmark money.
6: Any new Alaskan residents requiring additional income can be offered work drilling for oil under their new houses.
This elegant combination of solutions should address most of our country's ills, and is sure to leave Joe Biden speechless during their debate.
Its only downside: it would flood Alaska with angry, dispossessed people who, finding themselves exiled to Siberia, might choose to vote Democratic in future elections.

The Ivorian winger always wear the jersey of the CBRC next season.
After Michel Morandais another player CBRC has chosen to extend the adventure with the Marne club. This Guy Landry Edi (1.98 m, 25 years) who has seduced his coach this season.
Arrived at the club at the beginning of calendar year 2014, the player trained in Paris before leaving for the United States is perfectly adapted to its new colors, where his qualities defenders were useful coach Antic. Icing on the cake, man is escalated statistically speaking during the playoffs (9.6 pts and 3.4 rebounds in the playoffs against 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in the regular season.
He will team up with wings on marnaises Michel Morandais, Mark Payne and Da'Sean Butler and find a Pro he had briefly known in his younger years in Paris (4 matches from 2005 to 2007).
Chalons-Reims is in the Pro B division of French basketball.
Says he has "seduced his coach this season." I guess that one way to get playing time.
Guy and his team will be televised taking on the Calipari Wildcats on August 11 and 16.

Former Spanish international striker Diego Tristan looks likely to be included in West Ham's squad for the first time tomorrow as Gianfranco Zola's side go to Middlesbrough desperate to stop a run of four defeats.
Tristan has signed a one-year deal with West Ham after leaving Italian club Livorno and has been working hard to build up his fitness.
The 32-year-old, who scored 78 goals in 177 matches for Deportivo La Coruna, could start on the bench.
Swiss international midfield player Valon Behrami is definitely out with a calf injury but Scott Parker could return along with club captain Lucas Neill.

At its January 19, 2005 meeting, the UC Board of Regents adopted a new two-year pilot program designed to improve direct communication between UC employees and the Board and to help facilitate staff input into the Board's deliberations and decisions. The UC Staff Advisor pilot program, instituted in 2005-2006, is intended to allow the Regents to benefit from hearing staff and non-Senate academic employee perspectives on relevant matters that come before Regents' committees and the Board.
Under the pilot program, two individual staff and/or non-Senate academic employees serve as non-voting advisors to two Regental committees: the Committee on Educational Policy and the Committee on Grounds and Buildings. Two Staff Advisors were selected to serve during the first year of the pilot program. One of the two incumbents has been asked to continue to serve for 2006-2007 to ensure continuity of experience. The incoming Staff Advisor will serve at least a one-year term beginning July 1, 2006. Should the pilot program be extended by the Regents, the incoming Staff Advisor would serve two years, ending June 30, 2008.
All eligible UC staff and non-Senate academic employees who are interested in serving as the 2006-2007 Staff Advisor to The Regents may apply during the period beginning Tuesday, January 17, 2006 and ending at 5:00 p.m. on February 15, 2006. The Staff Advisor will be selected from all eligible UC staff and non-Senate academic employees by President Dynes in consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Regents.
When reviewing the eligibility criteria, please interpret the "exceeds expectations" performance level to mean the same as the UCSD performance rating of "above expectations" for staff employees or advancement in the academic personnel review process for non-Senate academic employees.
Questions regarding the program should be directed to Bill Neff, Special Assistant to Associate Vice President Judy Boyette at Bill.Neff@ucop.edu or (510) 987-9996.

Description: Dedication indicates a Saxon origin, as for other churches with the same name. The present building is by Dance the Elder, built 1741-4. Internal redecoration by Bentley in 1888-95 has resulted in an impression of light and openness which is unusual in a City church. Particularly notable is his ceiling and coving, the latter boasting lithe standing angels in high relief holding shields of arms – a unique treatment in the City and probably anywhere. A busy parish church with a ready welcome.

Abstract: We have prepared Ca₁₋ₓKₓWO₄₋ₓ/₂ solid solutions with the Scheelite-type structure to investigate high-temperature electrochemical properties. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction suggested the solid solution range was x ≤ 0.2, since the second phase presumably of K₂WO₄ was detected for x = 0.3. For all the substituted samples up to x = 0.4, a large jump in conductivity has been observed around 500 °C. At higher temperatures, oxide ion conduction is found to be predominant even for x = 0.4, exceeding the solution limit estimated from the room-temperature XRD. The conductivity at high temperature is essentially proportional to the amount of substituted potassium ions up to x = 0.4, indicating that oxide ion conduction is associated with the formed oxide ion vacancy. High-temperature X-ray diffraction detected no apparent change in lattice parameters around 500 °C for x = 0.1, and the remaining second phase seems to be incorporated into the Scheelite lattice at high temperatures.

Ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Valencia, Jose Mourinho insisted he doesn't fear for his job.
Under-fire Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes some of his misfiring squad "care more than others" as speculation mounts over whether the Portuguese coach's time in charge at Old Trafford is coming to an end. A third defeat in seven Premier League games at West Ham on Saturday saw United fall nine points adrift of leaders and fierce rivals Manchester City and Liverpool. Ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Valencia, Mourinho insisted he doesn't fear for his job but refused to state whether he had met with the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward in the past few days.
Mourinho also defended his players from accusations of not trying hard enough, but believes some are taking a slump in form more to heart than others.
"I think that some care more than others," said Mourinho.
"After 20 years of football, I'm still the kid I was. I'm still naive, but I still don't believe that a player is not honest.
"Until somebody that was a big professional player says 'I was a dishonest player', I will always believe the players are honest players and want to give their best."
Mourinho also laughed off speculation he has been contacted by former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, the favourite to replace him in the Old Trafford hot seat if Mourinho is dismissed.
A report in The Sun newspaper on Monday claimed Zidane had phoned Mourinho to reassure him the Frenchman isn't plotting to take his job.
When asked about the story, Mourinho turned the tables on the journalist who wrote the story by telling reporters to ask him whether the story was true and joked his phone had been bugged.
Zidane resigned as Madrid coach in June after leading the Spanish giants to three consecutive Champions League titles.
United left-back Luke Shaw said the players have to take more responsibility for a poor start to the campaign, rather than Mourinho proving to be the fall guy.
However, Mourinho accepted his share of the blame as a switch to a back three with midfielder Scott McTominay operating as a central defender backfired at West Ham.
"The performance on the pitch in my opinion is the consequence of many factors," added Mourinho.
"Luke Shaw for example said something I agree (with), but don't agree totally (with) because I am part of it and other persons are part of it: 'We players on the pitch we have to perform, we have to give more'.
"I like that perspective but I don't agree totally. It's all of us, everybody has a role to play.
"When we lose, the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone. I will improve things that depend from me and my work."
Mourinho's public spat with star midfielder Paul Pogba has been another sideshow to a stuttering season.
"For me if you talk in the dressing room it doesn't mean anything," said the Serb, who followed Mourinho from Chelsea to United. "The most important (thing) is what you show on the pitch."
And Matic admitted he too fell well below his normal standards at the weekend.
"For me, I played one of the worst games since I signed for Manchester Utd. I look in the mirror at my mistakes and want to do better."

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Bringing A Goop TV Show To Netflix, Because Why Not?
Back in March of last year, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop company was valued at $250 million. That’s a hefty amount for the company, which is known for selling things like vaginal eggs. In its quest for profit and expansion, Goop is now going to get into some original TV content and the company has now announced it will be partnering with Netflix in order to do so.
Netflix has a lot of money to throw in for original content and it has shown a propensity to snap up a variety of genre properties. In the case of Goop, the company is hoping to get into streaming with a new docuseries which will focus on “physical and spiritual wellness,” according to Variety. Each episode will be 30-minutes in length and will feature a number of experts in a particular field.
In addition to the experts, both Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop’s CCO Elise Loehnen will be hosting the episodes, so there will be a little bit of star power behind the currently untitled project. Paltrow can next be seen in Avengers: Endgame.
Gwyneth is a highly visual, tactile person. The quality of everything that we produce is very important to her. She’s always looking for white space. Whether it’s developing physical products or thinking of content. With this show, I think she’s only really interested in opportunities where we can uniquely be ourselves and do things potentially disruptive.
If Goop TV expects to be disruptive, it picked the right partner in Netflix. The subscription streaming company has been disruptive from the start and has continued to disrupt traditional cable and network television. In recent years, the company has added a slew of TV programs, from scripted originals to docuseries and even talk shows to its slate. Even more recently, Netflix even got into the theatrical release game in order to try and compete with movie theaters. Roma is the streaming service's first big release to gain Oscars traction, but Netflix shows have been receiving awards notice for years now.
If you are a Goop fan, Goop isn’t stopping there. The group will also be adding podcasts to its repertoire. The company already publishes both magazine and book components, although the magazine will be paused while this new Netflix project comes together.
It’s only one of many such projects Netflix has signed up for in 2019 and we’ll let you know as it moves forward. For now, you can see what Netflix is rolling out this month with our full guide or take a look at what all is heading to TV with our midseason schedule.

Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" functions as an axis around which writers from former British colonies--Salman Rushdie (India), Tayeb Salih (Sudan), and Tsitsi Dangarembga (Zimbabwe)--construct their own Bildungsromans. This nodal point is possible because Joyce's Bildungsroman represents a unique rendering of the genre which has proven useful for narratives of growth and development in newly independent nations. This dissertation focuses on a single narrative paradigm which acts as a common thread among the four authors. In each text (Rushdie's "Midnight's Children", Salih's "Season of Migration to the North", and Dangarembga's "Nervous Conditions"), the use of political issues acts as a driving force for the protagonist's Bildungs--the ongoing course of growth, maturation, and development which allows the Bildungs held to find his or her place in the wider world--as much or more so than providing political commentary. Political issues are thus often subordinated in the text to the narrative of development. The protagonist's Bildung in turn acts as a microcosm for the difficulties and growth process of a fledgling nation, and it exhibits the author's vision for his or her nation's future path.
The critical element of Joyce's Bildungsroman is Stephen Dedalus's virtual obsession with individualism, his seemingly ceaseless efforts to separate himself from everyone and everything around him, including his father, his mother, his country, his church, and the British Empire. These efforts force Stephen to attempt to avoid direct political involvement at all costs, even though the novel's most explicitly political moment--the Christmas dinner incident of chapter one--acts as a springboard for his personal development and for his desire to remain apart and removed. Moreover, his efforts to remain detached from politics and public life are destined to failure. The result is a narrative of development which suggests an inextricable link between public and private, between individual Bildung and national progress. That paradigm for the narrative of development proves valuable for Rushdie, Salih, and Dangarembga as they interrogate their own nations' progress after independence. The Joycean model of the Bildungsroman has thus proven to be particularly appropriate in the midst of the rapid emergence of new nation-states in the aftermath of empire, and as the world continues to evolve, the Bildungsroman will undoubtedly grow with it and maintain its relevance.

Village Capital and Autodesk Foundation are teaming up on a forum to showcase and support early-stage startups that are using AI, automation, or robotics to create new jobs in emerging industries, fill gaps in the current workforce, and retrain or upskill workers whose jobs will be automated, freeing them up to focus on higher level tasks. The companies will benefit from peer learning, access to cutting-edge technologies, and executive level mentorship.
The growth of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and robotics has disrupted the labor market and is changing the way we work. While one result of automating tasks previously done by people is that some jobs will disappear, increasing levels of automation can also be harnessed to benefit more people, create new jobs in emerging industries, and upskill the workforce to provide job stability.

This is Ned, a Senior Thai student in our school. I told her during my class with her that when the schedule of the next challenge would be posted, which was 2 hours before I dismissed her, I would look for her if I could fit her for the challenge. YELLOW showed up. These golden showers are all over the school now. But she was in our school uniform. I had some yellow cloth I used during the last Yellow challenge so we used it as her top. And the rest was....imagination.
Her friend, BTW, had to hold up the flowers because we had this in the middle of the school's corridor.:) I was lucky to have a free block along with Ned. I am quite sure this will earn me at least a 6. Good enough for the TEAM NIKON.
Too bad this one didn't end up higher. Really like it.
Gorgeous. I imagine this will score quite high. 10.
I always find that people with longer faces are more difficult to shoot then the nice round ones.
Good portrait, a touch of Librodo.
The contrast is striking, can't help feeling the flowers too dark, they become black on the edges..
Lovely model. Nice contrasts with the color of the flowers and the model's skin and hair. Interesting movement in the flower/vines but it seems a bit neatimage-y to me. Lighting is good as is composition. Feels a bit familiar and thus static in general though. 6.

Are 28 Days Later Zombies acutally Zombies? Yes. Here's why.
I just read Mat Elfring's ' Overused Comic Book Gimmicks: Zombies' and really enjoyed it. I'm a zombie fan and (despite Mat's previous explicit bigotry and hatred towards Irish people) this actually articulated a lot of my frustration of the increased quantity rather than quality of all things undead. There was one sentence that stuck out though, something which has followed me around when talking about zombies with friends.
"Argh, this statement hurts my feelings"
I have to be completely honest and admit that I came down on this line of 'they're not really zombies but it's good stuff nonetheless' initially but through exploring this sub genre of horror, I've actually come around to the idea that the 28DL monster does deserve it's place amongst its brainphillic peers. But rather than leaving it at 'take my word for it' here's my reasoning behind it.
Firstly it was explained as an aggressive mutation of the rabies virus, so there's that. Secondly this 'zombie virus' people like to talk about? Doesn't really exist in fiction. Most writers like to neatly explain where the zombies came from. Night of the Living Dead used radiation as an origin, Resident Evil used both the biological T-Virus and the parasitical Las Plagas, Some writers go for the 'it's magic, just go with it' angle as well. Hell, the Marvel Zombies used 'extra-terrestrial' after Sentry touched a funky asteroid. So there's no discrete boundary which can be laid down to define a 'proper' zombie origin. Personally, I prefer it when it's not explained (here's looking at you, Kirkman).
The fact that they run is important but I'll touch on that in a bit. The addition of the ability to run seems to be a deal breaker for a lot of people but lets go back to the 'classic zombie' in Night of the Living Dead. When that came out, Romero basically took the idea of the zombi or nzambi and updated it. Bear in mind the traditional zombie was one person, raised from the dead and controlled by one person. No plague-like spreading through bites or bodily fluids. 'You gotta shoot 'em in the head!' ? Nope, nothing so exciting. All you had to do to beat Z was use salt.
Romero changed that and several artists have put their own spin on the formula years since. And if we look at the plethora of variations of zombies today, their characteristics all lend and borrow from the same pool but there's no 'this is what zombies do, this is what zombies don't do'. And the same thing goes for 'but they're never technically dead' argument. But in the end, the attributes of Z doesn't matter much when you get down to brass tacks and this brings me onto my last point.
I love zombies because of it's appeal to darker things. But zombies aren't just the brain biting bad boys of horror. They are walking representations of death, your death, your deepest fear of dying. They are often slow moving and in the distance but deaths slow march is constant. You can run but not forever and there is no cure (expect in the lower end movies that positively require a happy ending). Pure and simple, zombies focus our fear of death. Here we go full circle and go back to the 'it's rabies' thing... and 1968. 1960s: Cuban Missile Crisis, assassination of JFK, Gulf of Tonkin. Knees deep in the Cold War. How did the dead rise? Why was death coming for us all in Romero's Night of the Living Dead in 1968? Radiation.
Well what about the Return of the Living Dead (1985)? Surely being inspired by NOTLD, it'd keep the same or similar origin? Nope. It changed because popular fears shifted. The advent of binary chemical weapons, reports of 'yellow rain' application by the Soviets, President Carter changing his stance in funding for such chemicals. How were the dead rising this time? You guessed it, toxic chemicals.
Now lets look at 28 Days later. This is post 'Anthrax attacks' and 9/11. Suddenly our capitals aren't so safe any more. The fear is that death can come through a disease and in this globalised world we live in, it can come out of nowhere. And fast. The fear shifted to terrorism and bioterror. Still don't believe me? Well it's not like the posters left a giant biohazard sign on them. Ahem.
If you really wanted to go further you could argue that The Walking Dead is less of a zombie romp than 28 Days. Why? Because Kirkman brilliantly uses the idea of zombies more of a tool to put his characters under tremendous amount of stress (I mean stress in the psychological sense, not the 'since Arrested Development was cancelled, there's nothing good on' stress) Take for example, Carl Grimes, symbolising innocence and how children lose their innocence in the face of a large traumatic event (death, family divorce etc) The zombie survival is playing second fiddle to the real topic of human survival. You could argue that the zombies could be interchanged with alien invasion, dragons, super aggressive Mormons (doubt it'd be as good). Whereas 28 Days is a more traditional approach, staying within the tropes and motifs of the sub genre. But I think that might be a different debate.
I can concede one area though and that is with those who view Zombies as purely a 'Horror Movie Monster'. Much like Frankenstein's monster, Dracula or werewolves that populated early 'B' movies. There, continuity of attributes helped establish these characters in popular culture and letting zombies run might look like giving Dracula rainbow powers or werewolves the ability to fly. It seems to that crowd that breaking continuity of the trope is the same as 'breaking' the very fabric of the character. But with the growth of transmedia interpretations of not just zombies but more or less everything those guys are gonna have to let go of little Zed.
No two zombies are the same but what they represent tend to be thus and 28DL zombies meet the criteria.
Mat 'Inferiorego' Elfring may harbour bigoted sentiments.
The Holy Grail of Laptops? Savy techies help and input needed.
Okay long story short, after a long tour of duty, my laptop needs to retire. When I say it's falling apart, I really mean it's falling apart. The casing's coming apart. I recently had to firstly cordon off one of three of my user profiles on it and eventually delete everything in it. The 'great purge' as it's known in my head, it was the computing equivalent of amputation.
If my laptop was a dog, it would have been put down by now.
Was affordable £400-550 (Roughly $650-880).
Within five minutes of researching I came to realise I might as well ask for a goose to gander my way and lay a golden egg. That said after a few hours poking around the internet I found this beauty: Acer Aspire AS7741G-6426 (or Acer Aspire 7741G-7017) Which seemed to tick all the boxes... expect I can't seem to be able to buy it anywhere.
So all I'm asking for is advice.
Is there a comparable machine out there with these specs?
Any help is a great hand.
Sorry to any GL fans but this game trailer looks better polished than the strange looking Ryan Reynolds on Oa. But less negatives, I hope we'll be transported to Asgard and get to fight a whole bunch of different creatures from Norse Mythology. Frost Giants? Surtur? Have at thee!
Looking good, Sega, looking good!
I just came across this and thought I'd share. Basically a video that discusses Marvel and DC's Captain Marvels. It goes into something that really interests me which is the history and logistics of publication as well as little odd facts. The same guy who does this also did a very good ' Magneto was right' video which argues that if you were a mutant, you'd probably side with him.
If you haven't seen it yet, there's a trailer for an upcoming video game. I gotta say, this thing made my throat dry a little bit. Trust me you'll want to watch it.
Anyway, if you haven't got a tear in your eye after watching that, you have no soul.
I came across this recently, thought it was actually quite cool and must have taken effort to make.
Yeah not themes exactly but it hints at a larger thing. I'm not poking fun at our Anime cousins, partly because I'm sure we have a lot of over-lap between AnimeVice and ComicVine and mostly because Deathnote is one of the best television shows made. That's just a fact, don't even try and argue against it.
Anyway, that brings me to something that I'd like to hear opinions on: What themes, motifs or styles being over used in your favourite media?
Dave, we know it's coming from a good place but let him rest in peace.
Anyway, what are you sick of seeing?
Every English character comes from London?
Post CCA shock for shocks sake?
Your own face in the mirror each day?
Okay, there are three scenarios. Answer them as you go along.
There is a train coming and it's breaks aren't working. There are five people on the tracks and the train can't stop in time and will kill them. However in front of you is a lever that will switch the train onto another track where only one person is standing. Do you pull the lever to have one die rather than five?
The same train is coming and will run over and kill five people. However this time there's no lever but there is a very large person beside you. If you push this person it will slow the train just enough so that the five other people are saved. You yourself aren't big enough to slow the train (In this hypothetical world, you do go to gym post-January 15th) Do you push the fat guy to have one die rather than five?
There are five people all aged the same, waiting on an organ donation and one person with an entire body full of healthy organs. If you kill the healthy person, five people will live until they're 90, if you don't kill the healthy person they will live to 90 but the others will die within the day. Do you sacrifice the healthy person to save five people?
Well apparently this has got philosophers a bit stumped. It's the equivalent of a maths problem for philosophy.
The problem lies in that most people will say yes to the first one, possibly the second and probably not the third but in reality all three are the same question worded differently. Do you sacrifice one for the greater of the group? However the 'gut feeling' that most people experience with the first and the 'gut repulsion' of the last is where philosophers get interested.
Do our views shift slighty in accordance to our favourite characters?
Do you know a similar instance in comics?
Why don't more people smoke pipes?
Does anyone else like this type of music?
The rise of 2ManyDjs, Girl Talk, The Gray Album (a mash up of Jay Z's Black Album and the Beatle's White Album) means the attention to mash up artists have been slowly growing over recent years. The use of small samples as instruments themselves intrigues me.
Yeah it's a big abstract and yeah it's more of a headphones song than 'lets all sing' song but I cannot stop listening to it. I think it's a great song off a new album.
I looked at how many views it had on youtube, it was only 11 at the time of posting this. I'm either very far ahead of the curve or far off it. Either way the music makes me happy so I'm sticking with it!
I know there's a need to defend comics as a legitimate medium of art rather than 'the funnies' or capes and spandex. People who genuinely love the medium are quick to respond with "It's literature!" in a way which I think is unnecessary. Why are we so keen to even defend it as literature? I've read some horrible literature. Enjoy the fact that this medium's blend is different, distinct and delightfully so. Revel in the art work. Submerge yourself in splash pages. Ordain oneself in onomatopoeia.
It's frustrating because to a lot of people, when you say you read comics, simply hear the words "I read a childish picture book about people in capes and tights" While this is certainly true to some extent it's akin to, when hearing someone watches a lot of movies, responding with "Oh so you watch romantic comedies?" Or if someone says "I read literature" another assumes "Ah, Dan Brown novels then?" "Music you say? So do you prefer the Beatles or Mozart?" I'm not trying to put down the capes, we know the bad reputation of comes from the CCA guidelines which stifled creativity and left no room to be edgy or thought provoking.
I'm happy for comics to be comics. There's no need, reason, rhyme or point to justify it by trying to squeeze it into an already established category. Justify it, instead, with examples of comics you've read and found great. Especially those that don't conform to someones idea of capes and cataclsymic catastrophe. I always hold up Maus (history), I Killed Adolf Hitler(hell, when you think about it Rom-Com), The Walking Dead(horror), Fables(fantasy), Sin City (crime/thriller) or Alan Moore ( everything) as just a few stalwarts of excellence.
In the same way a painting can make you think, a film can make you scared, video game make you laugh or a novel make you cry; a comic book can open up worlds you never could have thought of yourself. Therein lies the legitimacy of comics as a seperate category.
I don't need this faux-approval of critics from the other mediums or those who've never read a comic. I don't need to insist on calling it a 'Graphic Novel' every time because it sounds more adult. And I certainly don't need to legitimise a love for approval of others. So can we drop this need for approval? Strangely those trying to make it look more adult to the outside are the ones acting childish whining, 'Nuh, uh! It's not a comic, it's a graphic novel!' to others whose preconceptions are in fact the only childish thing about the whole debate.
Well over at the BBC, they're reporting about the Spider-man musical. I long thought U2 couldn't ruin everything I love and then they made an attack on comics with their musical. Well, Paul (his name's not Bono, it's Paul. If everyone insisted on being called a name of their choice there would be a sh** load more 'Dr McAwesome's) . His displeasure is my pleasure. It's not nice, I know but his arrogance makes me want to vomit blood.
Although that said, I do feel sorry for the actors who were left hanging, they seem to be genuinely nice people. But, they sided with Paul and David (the Edge, really!?) so they work for the devil now.

An investigation of the relationship between anterior knee pain and lower limb biomechanics.
The thesis presents an investigation of the relationship between anterior knee pain and lower limb biomechanics in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals during walking. Although foot orthotic devices are often prescribed to realign lower extremity mechanics, there is conflicting evidence to support this. A quantitative study explored the dynamics of walking barefoot, shod and with orthotic devices using the 3D Kinematic Motion Analysis System, Vicon 370. Sample sizes of 30 control subjects and 30 subjects with anterior knee pain were recruited. Kinematic gait parameters and temporal-spatial gait parameters were compared between the two groups and a thorough static clinical examination was provided. The relationship of alignment and knee pain was also examined using the Positional Upright MRI Scanner. A group of 15 subjects with anterior knee pain and a group of 5 asymptomatic subjects were examined radiographically barefoot, shod and with orthotic devices. An increase in Q-angle was shown in the knee pain group with an added angle increase in the females in both groups. This could signify that a higher Q-angle may influence biomechanics of the knee joint by creating an abnormally increased valgus angle. Evidence was found that there was a strong relationship between eversion and inversion of the foot with internal and external tibial rotation of the leg. This coupling relationship may lend insight into the behavior of the lower leg and anterior knee pain whilst walking. Small changes were noted when wearing the orthotic devices which may be advantageous biomechanically and they were also of benefit in correcting pronatory changes or movements more distal to the foot. The results of the MRI study were disappointing but many limitations were shown to support the results. Upon finishing this thesis, it is apparent that documented evidence of any relationship between anterior knee pain and lower limb biomechanics is imperative to clinicians in order to aid in treatment plans of patients but also in preventative treatment. Further research is required to enhance the clinicians’ knowledge and understanding of the foot and leg dynamically.

What should I do that I feel very unhappy when I see that my friends are more successful in their Avodas Hashem than I am?
Before we discuss the issue itself, we have to pay attention to whether we are dealing here with ‘jealousy’ or ‘envy’. Although they both aren’t good character traits, ‘envy’ is worse. There’s a big difference between the two. Jealousy is when a person thinks to himself, “Why am I not like so-and-so?” because he also wants to do well. But ‘envy’ is “Why is so-and-so successful?” as if to say that it bothers him that this person is successful when he’s not. He therefore looks to find something wrong with the other person, to spot where he’s unsuccessful. He would like to see him trip and fall.
For this reason we have to think carefully what we are looking for in life; we want to bring delight to Hashem. If I don’t merit revealing Hashem enough in the world, at least let there be someone else that will be. In the end I might also gain, because I might be inspired further in Avodas Hashem when there will be more holiness in the world through someone else’s Avodah.
Therefore, before we talk about unhappiness that comes about from jealousy of others, we should be careful that at least we shouldn’t take satisfaction in their downfall. On the contrary, we have to be full of love and compassion on all of Klal Yisroel, and especially with our close friends, and hope for all of them to be as Hashem wants.
What’s the solution for this?
There is a simple solution: to pray for another’s success in that matter which he himself wants to do well. This can help bring a person to a real nullification before Hashem (Likutei Mohoran 22). In the beginning it’s difficult to pray for someone else to be successful, but he should still try to force himself a little to pray for him.
In addition, through praying for his friend’s success in Avodas Hashem, he will cleanse his own wishes, making them purer and more Heavenly focused. He won’t only be thinking about his own personal success, but about Hashem being revealed in the world. Thus, Hashem will help him so that his wishes will be accepted, bringing him to merit true Avodas Hashem.
We must be very careful to run away from any thoughts of jealousy. This is one of the greatest causes of people to be distanced from Hashem, and it brings people down to the point where they have no ability to focus on the World to Come nor the state of mind of living with Hashem (Likutei Mohoran I 54).
We have to strengthen ourselves very much in our Emunah to know that each person has a specific job in this world which no one else has. Like a large machine which has many screws; each screw and part is an essential part of the machine, and without it the machine wouldn’t be able to operate. We can imagine that if one screw would want to go into the place of another screw, not only wouldn’t it be able to fit because of the size of the other screw’s hole, but also its own hole would remain empty. The entire machine would be worthless.
We need to know that the same thing is in regards to the special mission which each person has which is fitting just for him. Every person has his talents and surroundings which he was born into and grew up with, and tests and trials which he had to pass. The entire world depends on him fulfilling his own mission and to serve Hashem with the tools which he has, not with someone else’s tools.
But again, this is all only when one truly tries encouraging himself to seek Hashem’s will. I.e what does Hashem want from ‘me’, ‘This is my job and that is someone else’s’.
How should we understand Chazal’s saying, ‘Jealousy amongst the wise increases wisdom’?
Everything in the world can be used for good and can also be used to ruin. Everything has a good side and a bad side.
Of course, in order to find motivation in Avodas Hashem it is good to keep the company of good friends who will increase one’s desire and aspirations to emulate their ways – a form of jealousy which increases wisdom.
But we have to be careful not to ruin anything with this trait of jealousy, meaning, we shouldn’t want to be exactly like someone else, because no two people are alike. Chazal say “Many tried to do like Rashbi and were unsuccessful.” The Baal Shem Tov explains that this was because they made the mistake of trying to reach Rashbi’s spiritual level and imitate him, and didn’t focus on giving Hashem satisfaction.
The positive form of jealousy is when a person receives from other people a general inspiration for Avodas Hashem, to see that Avodas Hashem is a relevant, possible thing, and that we can come close to Hashem from within this stormy world.
We have to be very careful about this. The same way there can be obstacles towards Avodas Hashem from the Yetzer Hara, it is also possible for close friends to become obstacles by their causing us to feel dejected when we see their advancement, and we start to imagine that they are ‘cutting us off’. We have to strengthen ourselves in our belief in our own Avodah, and to remember that it’s for sure very dear in Hashem’s eyes. We don’t know Hashem’s calculations, who’s greater, who puts in more effort, and in what way Hashem takes satisfaction.
Don’t worry that maybe because of this you will weaken in Avodas Hashem. If a person is seriously looking to do Hashem’s will, and prays that Hashem draw him close, without any feelings of dejection from others, nor that his Avodah should just be the imitation of others, then he will truly advance little by little according to his abilities.

Security threats and natural disasters (such as hurricanes and cyclones) are events that have historically led to large scale evacuations. Evacuation operations are strongly characterized by traffic volumes that substantially exceed the network capacity, and consequently, the potential for severely degraded network performance. The efficient management of evacuations entails long-term planning and real-time operational paradigms that are, ideally, integrated. This study focuses primarily on the planning aspects of evacuation, while providing important insights for operations. Identifying capacity as a key element to efficient evacuation, the evacuation planning seeks to determine links where additional capacity is desired, as well as the amount of additional capacity. The study proposes contra-flow mechanisms and lane additions as the means to add capacity. Hence, the evacuation planning seeks to “improve” the network through strategic capacity addition so as to enhance performance during evacuation operations. The study formulates the capacity addition problem as a network design problem. The cell transmission model is used to propagate traffic flow. It forms the backbone of the problem formulation, which combines a dynamic traffic assignment component (network traffic routing) with a network design component (network capacity addition). The computational burden of the basic evacuation network design problem leads to the development of an improved formulation by exploiting a special property of the cell transmission model. Computational experiments are conducted using the improved formulation. Insights for practical implementation are obtained by analyzing the effect of resource allocation level, population size, and the spatial distribution of demand.

This may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s important to understand why Hounshell’s response is accurate.
I’ve heard from a few readers who’ve expressed confusion about the competing messages. Opponents of the Republican plan from the left condemn it as a needlessly vicious monstrosity that will hurt millions. Critics of the plan from the right dismiss it as “Obamacare Lite.” Clearly, they can’t both be right.
The answer has to do with the structure of the system in the broadest possible sense. Imagine looking at the models from 20,000 feet, where relevant details are harder to see. The core of the ACA model is a system that provides tax credits to consumers to purchase health insurance. At the core of the Republican alternative is a system that provides tax credits to consumers to purchase health insurance.
The profound differences matter, obviously, and in many cases, would quite literally be a matter of life or death. But when you hear someone like Rand Paul or Mike Lee say the bill reminds them too much of the Affordable Care Act, the comments aren’t entirely ridiculous. Their perspective is incomplete in a way that paints a misleading picture, but they’re saying they prefer an entirely different model – as opposed to an ungenerous version of the status quo.
Indeed, the Senate Republicans’ bill maintains the ACA’s model even more than the House bill, since it relies on income-based tax credits – as opposed to age-based tax credits – just as “Obamacare” does.
Just so we’re absolutely clear, I’m not suggesting that ACA advocates should somehow see the Senate Republicans’ bill as tolerable. In fact, the opposite is true: the GOP bill would have a genuinely devastating impact on millions of families. The effects on the poor would be especially brutal, but the Republicans’ legislation would also hurt the disabled, seniors, hospitals, anyone who takes advantage of consumer protections such as the ACA’s ban on annual and lifetime limits, and many others.
The GOP plan would represent one of the cruelest assaults on a health care system, not only in American history, but in any Western democracy in modern times. I’ve yet to hear a coherent argument as to why this plan should be taken seriously, much less passed into law.
My point, however, is to explain why some conservatives have criticized the bill from the right. They see some vague similarities between the broad outlines of Mitch McConnell’s model and the ACA model, and for some conservatives, that’s a problem.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Argentine stocks and bonds slumped on Wednesday as oil prices came close to $100 a barrel and on concerns over continued weakness in the U.S. economy.
The MerVal index .MERV of the 25 leading stocks lost 1.32 percent to 2,216.15 points in moderately heavy trade of $61 million. Of active issues 34 advanced, 108 declined and 11 were unchanged.
Government bonds on the domestic market gave up 1.5 percent on average, with the peso-denominated Discount bond falling 2.1 percent and the dollar-denominated Discount down 1.8 percent.
Among the value leaders on the stock exchange was the Argentine-listed stock of Brazilian oil company Petrobras APBR.BA, sliding 4.39 percent to 157.75 pesos per share despite higher oil prices.
In the foreign exchange market, the peso currency lost ground as private companies sought dollars ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
In formal interbank trade the peso weakened by 0.24 percent to 3.1375/3.1400 per dollar ARS=RASL. In informal trade between foreign exchange houses, as measured by Reuters, the peso declined 0.16 percent to 3.1600/3.1625 per dollar ARSB=.

Had some great conversations yesterday around feelings and social behaviors with cohort-mates. It made me reflect on friendships and how I think other people perceive me. My deep fear that keeps me from making friends was shared and received well. Being able to express my feelings here at Hack Reactor has been helpful with increasing my confidence in myself and my voice (opinion).
In addition, people are really digging the Prezi Enneagram Presentation I presented on Monday. This is a topic I love to talk about, and am knowledgeable on and digs down to my deepest desire to share new things with people and expand people’s worlds and experiences.

A man was taking pictures near Tyler's Rose Rudman Trail and at Robert E. Lee High School recently, and even though he was creeping out locals by mostly shooting young women, there wasn't much cops could do about it.
The locale was a public area, after all, so it wasn't like he was sneaking around bathroom windows.
But "How to Be Interrogated 101" apparently isn't a part of Dennis Brown's college curriculum, if what cops tell the Tyler Telegraph is true.
When officers asked Brown what he was doing, he didn't say, "Just practicing with my Nikon" or whatever.
Tyler Police Chief Gary Swindle said Brown was charged after initial questioning into his actions.
"He told officers on video that he was taking the photos of women on the trail, high school girls, and girls playing volleyball, for his own sexual gratification, so that is why he was charged. Without that admission we would not have a case because anyone can take pictures out in public," [Swindle] said.
Brown, 55, now faces felony charges of improper photography.

Wednesday: Usual 10 mile LSR with Rob.
Thursday: 8 x 500 with 1 minute recovery. Consistently 1.55 +/- The best bit was a total “have it” when a child rolled a football in front of us and it fell perfectly in stride for what must have been my best goal kick ever (shame I never did that when I actually was in goal).
Friday: Recovery shuffle of 2.5 miles.
Saturday: Sarah made the list!

Below are comments about Claire6381's artwork that have been left by teachers, family or other website visitors.
Really good details on your family picture! I love to sit on my porch and read when it's raining!
Claire...this is a great picture! I could immediately tell that this is your front porch! You have made great memories there!
I love your drawing and this memory! Sitting on my porch and watching the rain is one of my favorite things to do! Love you!
I remember these skulls from last year. This one is very creative and pretty! Great job!
Really great fall picture, Claire! You used such pretty colors. You’re a really good artist!
Fall leaves are Fabulous! Love your combination of colors!

GUESTS at the Eclipse Hotel in Domaslaw, Poland, may be surprised to learn that its cutting-edge interior design is based on work by an Aboriginal artist.
They may be even more surprised to discover that Bibi Barba, the artist whose Desert Flowers series of paintings are copied in the hotel's carpets, cafe tables and wall panels, did not give permission for her artwork to be used in this way.
She has not been paid by the interior designer Ewa Smuga or the hotel, which opened in June last year.
Smuga said she had ''redesigned'' Barba's paintings for her designs for the hotel. But Barba said she ''was just absolutely gutted'' when she found pictures of the hotel on the internet featuring interiors that reproduced her Desert Flowers paintings.
Barba said she had informed the hotel and Smuga that she believed her copyright had been infringed and suggested a resolution involving an exhibition of her work at the hotel. The hotel did not respond.
Barba has sought legal advice and written to the World Intellectual Property Organisation about the alleged copyright infringement. She said she wanted financial compensation from the interior designer and hotel, and to also show that artists can fight for their rights.
But in an email to the Copyright Agency, which collects royalties on behalf of artists, Smuga denied plagiarising Barba's work.
Smuga said she had acknowledged Barba as the ''inspiration'' for her designs and planned to promote her work in Poland. She also claimed Barba's artwork was ''generally known'' and available on the internet.
Desert Flowers is a series of six acrylics painted on silk created in 2009. The paintings were all sold to private collectors for $3000 to $5000.
Ms Ayres said copyright laws applied to works available on the internet. Smuga's acknowledgement of Barba was not a defence to using her artworks without permission.
In an email to Fairfax Media, Smuga said she had not breached any of Barba's rights and denied the artist's allegations. The Eclipse Hotel has not responded to questions sent by Fairfax Media.

Central to all counseling approaches is the belief that people can develop, assume responsibility, achieve autonomy, and engage in problem-solving. Effective counseling requires that counselors understand and accept clients, develop rapport, and establish collaborative working relationships. To achieve these ends, counselors need a background in the psychology of human development, counseling theories, and cultural similarities and differences, as well as skills in individual and group counseling, mastery of assessment techniques, and knowledge of current issues and research.
The curriculum at Hunter includes basic core courses for the three counseling programs and specialization courses. Rehabilitation Counseling students select two electives from a sequence of predetermined courses. The curriculum integrates theory and practice through a carefully sequenced series of courses with emphasis on fieldwork in urban settings.
The Rehabilitation Counseling Program prepares students to assist people with disabilities to realize personal goals and maximize their physical, emotional, social, intellectual and vocational potential. Rehabilitation counselors work with youth and adults in a variety of community-based settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, colleges, chemical dependency agencies and career/vocational counseling programs.
Students in rehabilitation counseling may take the national certification examination for the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) status after completing 75% of their course work. Students may take additional courses and work toward becoming eligible for both certifications.
1. Minimum undergraduate grade point average of 2.7; the Graduate Record Examination is not required.
2. 15-25 credits of approved courses from the following fields: anthropology, economics, education, guidance, health sciences, political science, psychology, sociology, and related areas.
3. Evidence of oral and written expression consonant with graduate-level study.
4. Interviews with faculty members, alumni, or currently enrolled students. Central purposes of these interviews include assessing counselor potential, applicability of work and life experience, and candidate expectations about both the programs and the field.
5. Recommendations from appropriate professional or academic references to aid in determining potential for work as a professional counselor.
6. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance to the program. Admission to the program is highly competitive, and each applicant’s grade point average, counselor potential, and applicability of work and life experience are carefully considered.
1. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain in the program and must complete the total number of credits of course work to graduate.
2. Students must demonstrate counseling knowledge and skills as defined by the faculty and community agency supervisors.
3. Active participation in small group seminars and community and professional activities is required.
4. A student receiving a grade of B or below in any of the following courses cannot continue in the programs: COCO 701, COCO 706, COCO 718, COCO 719 and COCO 725 and 726.
5. The faculty may require that a student gain additional experience in counseling skills and competencies before permission is granted to complete the program.
6. Seven courses – COCO 701, 706, 707, 718, 719, 725, 726 – cannot be taken at other colleges or universities. These courses must be taken in the Hunter College Counselor Education program.
2. Students must pass the School of Education technology assessment.

Datsun released a sketch of their new concept car that will make its debut at New Delhi Auto Show 2014. According to Datsun, the concept car represents a possible direction for the future expansion of its model line-up for up-and- coming young customers in high-growth market, such as India.
Based-on the sketch, we can see that this new concept car has a dynamic and nice design. And it probably has smaller dimension than Datsun Go. A source said that the concept car could be underpinned by Renault-Nissan’s Common Module Family (CMF) platform that flexible and can be modified to many sizes.

They say daydreaming leads you to greatness. After being challenged to share her own daydreams about her ultimate occupation (which of course she did in her own inimitable style), Gluestick Mum has brought me in on the Daydreams Challenge inquiring about my ultimate holiday/vacation. Where would I go? Who would I take? What would we do? Well, thanks to GSM for asking….it’s alot of fun to think about!
Probably no one would believe my actual dream list at this point, but I’m going to share my top three with you now.
I’m not much of a fan of booking tours for vacations. I don’t mind a tour of a building or something, but generally speaking I like to do the planning for our holidays on my own. However, I’d absolutely love to go to Churchill in Manitoba, Canada, and experience one of the Polar Bear Adventures!
and go in search of polar bears?! I think it would be incredible to see the arctic landscapes of the Canadian Shield and awesome up-close views of the bears! Can you imagine one of these views?
Or actually being this close?
Plus, they also say they come across other animals on their tours like: Caribou, Arctic Fox, Wolves, Arctic Hares, Lemmings, Snowy Owls, Gyrfalcons, and other arctic birds. How could anyone not want to see this if they had the chance?
It’s the ultimate fox hunt in my opinion!
And, my guys would love the helicopter tour offered by some of the groups there as well!
Yep, definitely this would be a good one for us! It’s on my bucket list!
Barring that, the next great adventure I’d choose would be ICEBERG CAVES…..actually exploring under icebergs!
Again, I’d not be able to manage this one on my own, but definitely I’d trade off the planning for this experience! The one I’m most interested is from the tour at Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and its caves in Iceland.
Okay, there’s the whole issue of the HOLE and getting down into the iceberg…..
But once we’re past that……how could anyone pass up the chance to see and photograph views like this!
Sadly for everyone, they say these icebergs are getting smaller every year and that these tours won’t be available someday. I’m hoping we can make it there before they disappear!
Lastly, I guess what I’d most like to do is to see more of this world and meet more people I like. So my last daydream holiday would be a MEETING BLOGGERS ROAD TRIP where I basically just do the whole planes, trains, and automobiles thing all around the world meeting up with all my blogosphere friends.
This would certainly take me from one side of this world to the other! Of course, you’d all have to put me up for the night and feed me once I got to you….kind of like a blogging Father (actually Mother) Christmas on his/her trip around the world except it would probably take me the rest of my life to meet everyone!
Yep, I can daydream….it’s just too bad things like jobs, schedules, money, time, and age get in the way of such magnificent dreams, isn’t it?
THE THING ABOUT JOANNE IS…..
Most bloggers have titles for their blogs that give you an idea of what they’re trying to do with their blog. But not many bloggers actually take it a step further and inspire others to embrace their stated ideals. Recently, I found out that there are bloggers that do just this when I met up with another WP blogger, Joanne Sisco.
She’s goal-oriented, organized, and forward thinking. Joanne’s blog is called My Life Lived Full and boy does she! Joanne’s personal goal for herself this year is to try 52 new things. To this end, she created a spreadsheet of possible things to try and even broke them down by category. Many people, myself included, would read that and believe she meant to try one new thing a week for the year. Not so. As of February 28, 2015, basically 8 weeks into the year, she had already accomplished 24 new things.
Another thing about Joanne is….
She’s a go-getter. On Joanne’s list of new things was a trip to Niagara Falls in the winter. One day, she grabbed a friend, jumped in the car, and headed south from Toronto and made this happen. She subsequently posted about it here and made me so jealous with her pictures and get-up-and-go-make-it-happen attitude.
One of my goals when we moved to this area this year was to do that very trek – to see the Falls in winter. We’ve made countless trips to the Falls, past the Falls, under the Falls, and over the Falls in the summers, but I’d yet to see them in the winter. As our son’s passport expired this year and we don’t want to renew it till he turns 16 this summer so he can get the 10-year adult one and not another 5-year child passport, we’re kind of locked into the American side of the Falls right now and that held zero interest for me. Canada is where it’s at….anyone with a brain knows this…or so I thought….
I commented on Joanne’s post that I was insanely jealous and I would’ve loved to have met her up there had I known she would be going. I never thought much about it after I posted it. I knew I’d never actually meet anyone from the Blogosphere….much too scary to contemplate. I’m smart enough to know what creeps troll the Net looking for unwary prey. Nope, not me. Never happen.
So of course, what happened next?
Joanne wrote me and offered to redo her trip down there just to encourage me to go and do this. I was wary; but I admit, excitement overtook me. I so wanted to see the Falls in winter. I really did. I didn’t really even hesitate. Kind of surprising actually that me, always colouring in the lines and following the rules, was now ready to ditch it all to grab this brass ring when it came flying by.
The only thing was….my husband and son and I envisioned us all doing this together. So I mentioned to Joanne that we were kind of trapped right now with the passport situation and how would she feel about coming to the American side this time. She was all for it saying she’d never done the American side of the Falls either and it could go on her list of 52 new things.
This brings me to my next thing about Joanne……..
She’s brave. Hopping in her car and driving over an international border on her own to meet up with strangers in a foreign country with less than a week’s notice? Not a problem.
And so she did! We met up at Niagara Falls State Park. Joanne posted about it here.
We must have walked miles that afternoon in the four hours we were together. It was very strange actually that though Joanne and I had never met in person, we talked all day as if it was the most natural thing in the world. After both of us deciding that the other had an accent, we talked while we walked across the bridge to Goat Island to take in those views.
We traipsed the trails in the park still talking.
We even went up on the overlook and kept right on talking!
How did I get a pic from up on this overlook when I’m petrified of heights? It must have been Joanne’s magic!
What we saw in the park though was another total surprise.
Having very little expectation of anything good on the “lesser” American side of the Falls, we were all totally blown away at sights we encountered. Oh, Canada has the American side beat on amusements, etc. in the surrounding area, but I actually found that the American side is a feast of natural scenery that is a winter extravaganza! I, being the lover of winter and outdoor photography that I am, had hit pay dirt!
What was most interesting from my perspective was that the Falls themselves held very little interest for me once I was there. I was much more interested in the mist – the mist we felt in droplets falling on us as soon as we stepped out of our vehicle – the mist that froze on each and every branch of a tree, the street lamps, fence posts, etc. in the area of the park. You could actually tell which side the Falls were on just by looking at a street lamp or fence post and seeing which side had the thicker covering of ice.
So there you go. The day I chose to live my life full thanks to these THINGS ABOUT JOANNE. Also, as I told Joanne, I now know, …..
Winter = Niagara Falls, New York!

Call it a case of perfect timing. When British-born, Stockholm-based artist Tris Vonna-Michell learned at the beginning of May that he had been shortlisted for the 2014 Turner Prize, he was in the middle of a six-month production residency at Darling Foundry in Montreal. An unexpected turn of events no doubt, but it’s a scenario that is, in a way, tailor-made for Vonna-Michell. His practice—which ranges across analog media, soundtracks and scripted site-specific performances—has long tested the overlapping boundaries between time and place, positioning auspicious coincidences and unpredictable turns of event as a kind of narrative guide to the ebb and flow of personal existence.
As it turned out—despite a cold winter—Montreal was not a bad place to be and in the weeks that followed the Turner Prize announcement, Vonna-Michell threw himself into intensive production on a new film installation that stands a good chance to figure prominently in his exhibition at Tate Britain this fall.
This evening (June 19) at Darling Foundry, Montreal audiences get an exclusive preview of that new work. Here, Vonna-Michell takes a few minutes out from last-minute preparations for an email correspondence about his time in Montreal, the Turner Prize and the work that may well make international art-news headlines in the months to come.
Bryne McLaughlin: At the end of this month you wrap up a six-month international studio residency at Darling Foundry in Montreal. Can you tell me about how that came about and what your experience has been like?
Tris Vonna-Michell: I applied for the international residency at Darling Foundry with the intention of starting a new work and exploring the medium of film. It took a while to get started with the film work, mainly due to the fact that I was installing my show at VOX in February while also trying to acclimatize and cope with the incredibly harsh and long winter. Once the filming began the residency started to take shape, and it’s now turning out to have been quite a productive time.
BM: Much of your work is responsive to time and place. What were the main aspects of the project that you had in mind when you arrived in Montreal?
TVM: Mainly in the sense of production, in wanting to work with 16mm film, a new medium for me, and explore some ideas of documentation and preservation.
BM: You’ve also shown work while you’ve been in Canada with exhibitions at VOX in Montreal and Gallery TPW in Toronto as well as presenting an “editorial experiment” with your Stockholm project space Mount Analogue at Artexte and Art Metropole. The common thread between the two exhibitions was Capitol Complex (2012–ongoing), a roving narrative installation that weaves around a written script, a spoken soundtrack, a telex machine (in Montreal) and photographs, all based on how three “characters” experience Le Corbusier’s Modernist architectural mecca in Chandigarh, India. You’re known for extended studies of a narrative pathway or pulse, and how that tone and direction can shift in unexpected ways over time, place and media. No two iterations of a work is the ever same. Can you say a bit about this approach to storytelling-in-flux and how that played out in the differences (and the consistencies) between the Montreal and Toronto versions of Capitol Complex?
TVM: For the VOX show, Capitol Complex was more fractured because it was devised as two works, and presented in separate spaces. Also, I wanted to work with the idea of various sound compositions spilling and merging in the space. At VOX I showed three installations and tried to see how they could co-exist in the same space, enable and disband other relationships and meanings. For the synchronized slide installation I also integrated a French spoken word dimension. So the Capitol Complex version at VOX was specific to space, sound conditions and language, whereas at Gallery TPW it was more contained. The version at TPW was also a new display for this work, it was more in relation to ideas concerning montage, framing, mapping and layering within a table construct.
BM: It happened, too, that during the time you’ve been in Montreal you were announced as a finalist for this year’s Turner Prize, which must be a daunting, though not undeserved, prospect. How did the news hit?
TVM: I received the news in May, but perhaps due to being in Montreal there’s been a good distance so it feels less daunting. On the flip side, having to prepare a show for September, with only a few months preparation time makes being in Montreal less ideal. At this stage of planning whilst also producing new works or iterations I would prefer to be back at my studio in Stockholm. Since arriving here, however, I have been working on the film, so with the Turner Prize exhibition in mind it has given me a greater incentive to try to complete it before returning home.
BM: This evening, you will be previewing the film you’ve been working on during the residency, which also may figure in the Turner Prize exhibition. Can you tell us a bit about the project and what role Montreal has played in it’s realization?
TVM: I will do a presentation at the Darling Foundry, reflecting on the residency as a whole and also screen the film, in its current incomplete form. It might be shown at Tate Britain in September, but since it’s in-progress and I haven’t made a site-visit yet, there are still many decisions to be made. In terms of Montreal and the film coming together on a practical level I’ve been very fortunate to work with some great professionals such as camera operators, editors, sound engineers as well as processing labs, rental companies and editing suites. To work on a 16mm film, with all its analog and idiosyncratic aspects, and as my first excursion into the medium, I found Montreal to be a very supportive and engaging city.

Here are some tests for modular off-world habitats. Some middle-height models are needed, more walkways, better railings, more gribbly bits, some stairs, etc. But this should give you a good idea of what I've been cooking up. What do you think?
I like the shapes! They're pleasingly interesting and will look great on the table. It's possible that I'm just reading the shapes wrong, but the lines and proportions on some of the structures feel like they should be 1.25 to 1.5x their current size to look right next to 28-30mm figures.
In particular, the big structure in the upper left reads like a multi-story office building and feels like it's half the size it ought to be, because there aren't any windows or doors on it to anchor my sense of scale relative to the figure on the bridge. The structure in the right middle looks like a half-scale house because the beveled edges remind me of rooflines. The structures at the lower right and lower left look OK to me--the one on the lower left makes me think of a containerized unit with an attached power generator and foyer extension, and the one on the lower right reads like a workshop building or a small home with attached extensions.
However, you can disregard the above because once you texture them, the scale of the little details will anchor things and make them look correctly sized next to figures. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they turn out!
Very interesting shapes, I like where this is going. Obviously, you are going to skin them with 25mm in mind... But have you thought about having an alternate 15mm or even 10mm skin? These shapes would make excellent city scape terrain for mech games.
How about something like this for top side connectors, so the buildings don't need the extruding part on the top?
Finally figured out how to make my own stackable modular levels, with lift-off roofs, removable floors and walls that can lay flat for storage.
You might get me to want to play an SFRPG with those, dude! Can't wait to see them textured!
That looks pretty awesome so far! Loving the shapes and over all look!
Most excellent, I think they will do very nicely for the upcomming kickstarted Relic Knights.

I do like trains. There is something relaxed, languid and peaceful about trains that one can never feel in a bus or a plane. Especially the sleeper class with the window seat is a bliss, although it tends to get a bit too crowded at times. Last year around this time I took the train from Delhi to Mumbai. Here are some images from that trip that I took along with some thoughts.
The Train traveled through the wast heartland of India. It passed the dusty plains of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra which was already beginning to experience summer in March. But thankfully as it passed I noticed cloudier skies. Horizons were seductively dark and the Earth was looking fresh with the soaked red mud and pristine green of the trees just waking up from winter sleep.
I enjoy looking at people through the train window as it passes by small villages and towns. People waiting to cross the treks at the crossing, bovine herds grazing in gay abandon and of course the inevitable adverts of sexologists!
Then I focused my attention to the interiors of my coach too. Everybody seemed relaxed, including the people without reservation. Also, everybody gets to eat irrespective of their status. I cannot imagine this in a bus!
Then finally the train reached a stretch where it was actually raining. It was not very heavy of course. The mild splashes hitting on my face was an invigorating feeling.
But the best part was after the rains. The soft sun after the rains gives the bets colors for photography. Golden fields started to glow in the dying afternoon. I even noticed some camels, which was a bit odd as we were nowhere near Rajasthan. The only suscipicious entity was the brick kiln, the primary source of pollution in the less industrialized lands.
It grew dark soon and I could take no longer take photographs. But now the question is, what was I doing in that train? Keep reading and keep coing back. I will be back with that part of the story soon.

Combine the beef and lamb in a large skillet and cook over high heat until browned and well done. Drain and reserve the drippings. Place the meat in a medium mixing bowl.
Using the same skillet, caramelize the onions in the meat drippings. When the onions are nice and brown, remove them from the drippings and mix into the meat mixture.
While the onions are caramelizing, preheat a small skillet with the corn oil. Add the pine nuts and toast until golden brown (they burn quickly, so don't walk away from them). Add the nuts to the meat mixture along with the lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and combine well.
Dissolve the yeast, salt and sugar in 1 cup of the warm water. Stir to dissolve the yeast. Add the flour to a large mixing bowl, stir in the yeast mixture and combine well. Add additional water, as needed, to make a medium-sized, stiff dough ball. Knead thoroughly. Cut into 2 equal sized dough balls, cover and let stand for 15 minutes.
Lightly flour a large work surface and roll out each dough ball until approximately 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into circles with a 5-inch round cutter. Cover and let stand a second time for 15 minutes. Try to get as many round dough pieces as you can. Any excess dough can be rolled up and saved for more meat pies.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 sheet pans with nonstick cooking spray.
Working quickly, place 5 of the rounds, at a time, on a separate work surface. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the meat filling into the center of each round. Grabbing the opposite sides of the circle, pinch together in the middle. Then, pinch the rest of the dough closed, forming a triangular pie. Place on the prepared sheet pans. When all the pies have been formed, place the pans in the preheated oven and bake until the edges and bottoms of each pie begin to brown. Rotate the pans from bottom to top during baking. Bake until the pies are golden brown. Remove to a serving platter and serve.

Last week when I was part of the press preview for Disney's upcoming Pixar attractions on both coasts, I got to spend some time in "The DISH" - the virtual reality simulation room at Walt Disney Imagineering's headquarters in Glendale, California.
The is is the Star Trek holodeck-type room where Imagineers preview VR-like renderings of new attractions and facilities. Unlike wearing individual VR headsets, The DISH allows people to experience and walk through a new design as a group, seeing each others reactions. Given how theme park attractions are important social experiences, being able to preview a design as a group is an especially valuable tool.
Disney did not allow us to shoot photos or video while inside The DISH, but it did promise us some hand-out video of the experience. Disney didn't get that to us in time for me to include that in my posts when the embargo for the preview lifted on Monday morning, but I did update those posts when we got the video later the week.
But I also wanted to include those videos here, and to open a discussion on The DISH in case anyone had any questions or comments.
And when you're done with her request, I'll take two of those.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in its manifestations Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect all parts of the digestive tract. Environmental factors, genetic predisposition and an abnormal function of the immune system are thought to cause IBD.
Standard therapies aim at controlling intestinal inflammation and prolonging the time between disease flare-ups. Although significant progress has been made over the last decades, a high proportion of patients still do not respond to these anti- inflammatory therapies, or become resistant during the course of treatment. Failure to therapeutically control chronic inflammation can lead to severe complications in IBD patients, such as fibrosis, which requires surgical intervention. Fibrotic changes in the intestine are driven by an activation of a particular cell type, the fibroblast.
The aim of this project is to find out whether IBD patients that go on to require surgery display an activation of fibroblasts, and which changes in the tissue are associated with this activation. For this, differences in the way the surgically removed fibrotic tissue is programmed will be compared to the programming of non-inflamed ‘normal’ tissue. We believe that certain alterations in this programming, which is controlled by a network of signals, can lead to changes that are specifically associated with inflammation and the requirement for surgery. Differences in the networks of signals which make up this program of inflamed and non-inflamed tissue will help us identify novel, fibroblast-targeting, therapies which will disrupt the inflammation program and hopefully reduce the requirement for surgery.

The curricular proposal to launch a new trans-institutional undergraduate business minor has been sent to the four undergraduate schools and the Owen Graduate School of Management for review by their governance bodies. If approved, the proposed minor will launch in fall 2017.
The undergraduate business minor is the first minor at Vanderbilt under faculty consideration that is not solely housed in one of the university’s four undergraduate schools. Drawing on the themes of the Academic Strategic Plan, the proposed minor is designed to leverage the disciplinary expertise of the Owen School in addition to each of the four undergraduate schools in order to ground the rigorous study of business theories and practices within Vanderbilt’s strong liberal arts tradition.
The process of developing the minor began in September 2013 with the formation of the Undergraduate Business Minor Development Committee, chaired by Vice Provost for Learning and Residential Affairs Cynthia J. Cyrus. With direct faculty representation from the Blair School of Music, College of Arts and Science, Peabody College of education and human development, School of Engineering and Owen Graduate School of Management, the committee also consulted broadly with campus constituents to design a minor that would meet student needs, embrace best practices in undergraduate business education, and be sensitive to the distinct academic landscapes of the five contributing schools.
The proposed minor integrates five required half-semester fundamental courses taught by Owen faculty, with electives provided by the undergraduate schools.
As part of the transition prior to the proposed launch of the minor, Gary Kimball, current director of the Program in Managerial Studies and a member of the Business Minor Development Committee, was appointed the acting coordinator of business-related minors. Kimball earned a bachelor of science in economics from Vanderbilt as well as an MBA from the Owen School.
“Gary brings strong leadership to the process of creating and implementing this new business minor given his current role as the director of the Program in Managerial Studies and his dedication to teaching future leaders in business,” Cyrus said.
Members of the university community are encouraged to contact Kimball and Cyrus by email with questions or feedback about the proposed undergraduate business minor.

Just across that big and fancy La-ne’s Kan-anan restaurant in Bonifacio St. is Kulot BBQ. It’s nothing fancy. Actually, it’s more of a “hole” than a “hole in the wall” as their walls are only made of thick tarp. They got a few monobloc tables and chairs set up. They didn’t even have ice when they served us water (You can always order cheap sodas which hopefully are chilled). We were starving from the long trip and I couldn’t care less where and what we’d eat. So it’s a surprise that I am now raving how awesome it was.
When I say awesome, I mean it. I think it’s the best barbecues I’ve tried as is. We sampled chicken bbq, isaw manok, longganiza and pork bbq. Its grilled meat tastes very good even without the dipping sauce. Most of the isawans I know often make it to the top of my list because of their perfectly sour, spicy and sweet sauce with vinegar, calamansi, onions and chili. This one offered a different sauce which had liver sauce for base (Mang Tomas). I think maybe watered down with a bit of vinegar or something. It was alright too but I think the meat was good enough without it.
I considered that perhaps we were just hungry the first time around so we gave it another shot. But yes, It was still as awesome! Our first bill was 131 and the second was 140. This is for two people with a cup of rice each.
I think chicken barbecues are generally perfected in these parts as a lot of people don’t eat pork and sometimes also abstain from beef. As many people opt for chicken, I guess they know how to do it right. It’s perfectly cooked; far from dry but with no traces of raw flesh. The taste is smoky, juicy and tasty without being salty. I’m struggling for words here. But to simplify, it’s the best and hell I don’t know what I’ll do if I get cravings in the near future. I wish I knew their secret. Do you? Aloha!

Every weekend at ELAM there are one or two galas. These galas are chances for different countries and regions of the world to highlight their culture, but basically boil down to a bunch of dancing routines that are (usually) executed really well. I often wonder: If everyone spent as much time working towards providing health care for the poor as they spend on dance practice if we couldn’t make progress in the former proceed a bit more quickly. I especially wonder this when walking back from using the internet at 4 a.m. and seeing exhausted students practicing all various forms of dances.
Considering most students at ELAM are from 18-19 years old the ritual of the gala has important social significance. Pre-med students are expected to do a lot of work for the gala because their school work is much less demanding. I suppose a lot of strong friendships and grudges are formed though preparing for the galas. Leaders assert themselves and some sort of social order develops out of the chaos of teenage hormones. Galas take place at the Polígono. The Polígono is the all purpose outdoor stage/study area/sports viewing stand facing the Straits of Florida, only about a football field away. Usually countries invite their diplomatic representatives to come on out to the show, and they usually show up. So there are chance to rub shoulders with pretty interesting visitors, especially since the galas get sort of boring after about an hour (they can last up to 3!) Attendance is not required.
The U.S. Gala went off a couple of weeks back. I included a picture above. The theme was the Wizard of Oz and the storyline reflected the four regions of America and the contributions of immigrants to each region. At the same time it talked about how America isn’t the immigrant’s paradise it is made out to be. Or something like that. I actually left an hour into the thing because I had work to do. But there was a large crowd because the first annual ELAM national congress was taking place.

There’s a reason they’ve got “famous” in their name: The hot dog here (and here alone — skip it at any other location of the chain) is a classic. The sausage has a toothsome snap, sweet-smoky flavor, and a buttery, charred bun that renders toppings like sauerkraut or stewed onions entirely irrelevant.
There are half a dozen counters affiliated with the hundred-yard-long Grill House, each selling its own specialty, from fresh-shucked clams to funnel cake. Head to the far western end of the booth for the Mexican offerings, where you can pick up a round of tacos that are easily as good as any in town. Your best bets: tangy chicken, charcoal-grilled after an all-day marinade in garlic and fresh herbs, or the meltingly tender shredded carnitas. Add some sliced avocado and cheese for $0.50 each, and be the envy of the boardwalk.
The ubiquitous Peruvian rotisserie chain might not seem like a natural fit for the beach, but its quarter chicken — dark-skinned, dark-fleshed, deeply flavorful — goes surprisingly well with the salt tang in the air. Sit down in the roped-in seating area for a little bit of peace and quiet among the otherwise madding crowd.
Be warned: To get a single slice of Totonno’s legendary Neapolitan pizza, you’re going to have to order a whole pie, so it’s smart to bring friends. The charred crust, bright-sweet tomato sauce, and super-fresh mozzarella elevate this significantly over most other pizzas in New York, let alone Coney Island.
A few blocks off the beaten path of tourists and day-trippers, Classic Heros’ greatness is revealed by the crowd of cops always hanging around during mealtimes. Its signature creation, the Sea Gate Special, is a true showstopper: a fresh Italian loaf loaded up with housemade brisket doused in gravy, a pile of caramelized onions, and a healthy serving of fresh mozzarella. It all gets a run under the broiler and comes out a gooey, meaty torpedo of sandwich perfection.

Where's this guitar at, Mars?
Yeah - such a deal with those new strings, but I didn't see the shipping costs!!! eeek!!
I've owned three of this series, two had such a thick poly finish that it held them back. The WD48S was good though.
It seems that most sellers on eBay are trying to make a living off of shipping charges.
I just bought Cheryl a new camera to capture the grandkids this Christmas. eBay sellers wanted and average of $25 shipping and handling. I got it from an Amazon seller, paid right at the same for the camera and was charged eight bucks shipping. All in all, I saved about $15 buying off Amazon.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS, or simply PCI) governs the many security standards associated with payment card payment interactions. Point of sale systems in today’s brick-and-mortar storefronts fall woefully short of these standards at every step of the transaction work flow. They commonly use outdated desktop computers and store card data locally in plaintext. Backups of these systems, if kept at all, are often stored on unsecured removable media. If we can move some of the payment infrastructure away from the merchant to a central web service, then we can reduce the responsibility of the merchant.

← Hoe kan ik veel User Stories snel inschatten?
Why do we use Story Points?
Story points are often used as unit of estimation in Scrum projects. Why do we use them, and what is the advantage of story points over estimates in hours?
To answer that question, we should first look at the concept of Velocity. Because, having good story points allow you to work with a useful definition of velocity.
Let’s use an analogy to illustrate this.
Suppose you plan a holiday trip by car from Gouda (where I happen to live) to Nice in France. Google maps quickly shows you that the whole trip is 1351 km. A quick estimate for the duration of the trip is then easily derived. We estimate our average velocity to be 100 km/h (I usually drive a bit faster, but I’ve learned through experience that you are often hindered on the road, and usually don’t get much faster than this on average).
So, the total trip will take some 13,5 hours driving time. Let’s add some 2 hours of rest, and we can estimate our time of arrival.
So, now we have a plan for the project, we know the total size of the project (1351 km) and we have an estimate for the duration (15,5 hours).
During the trip, we want to track our progress.
Tracking progress in hours is stupid. If I hit a big congestion already at Rotterdam, and get stuck for 2 hours, my ‘progress’ in hours will be 2 hours, but my real progress is almost nothing. Tracking progress in hours will not help me to re-estimate my arrival time (except, when everything runs perfectly according to plan).
The only thing that makes sense in tracking progress is in tracking results. We could do this by watching the number of kilometres on the dashboard, but that feels a lot like micromanagement. You can’t keep your eyes on the dashboard all the time; you need to watch the traffic.
The milestones are not all at exactly the same distance. It would be nice that all major cities on my journey we at exactly 100 km distance, but, that’s simply not the reality.
My estimates for distance are not exact, but rounded at 50 km. More exact estimates are not needed anyway. While driving, I never know exactly if I have reached Nancy or not. I may first reach the exit Nancy-north, then Nancy-centre and finally Nancy-south. If I arrive at any of these exits at roughly 6 hours after my departure, I know I am still on track. Estimating distances, and thus durations at a finer granularity will only cause me to micromanage my trip: “I am 3 minutes late!” which is only detracting me from my real progress.
So, back to software projects.
The velocity is the average number of story points that a team can deliver in a sprint (similar to my average speed of 100 km/h).
A story point is an indication of the size/duration of the tasks that we perform in a sprint. Stories should be small enough to give us sufficient milestones during the sprint to measure our progress. My personal taste is that 6-10 stories per sprint is a good number.
There is a good chance that the last story in this sprint will not be completely delivered. If that happens, I have failed 50% or 33% of my sprint. That is a lousy result. If I did have 10 stories and missed the last one, I had a 90% result. Although not perfect, this is still a good result.
More stories means more administration, and we all hate administration, don’t we?
So, why do we use story points?
We want to track business value (story points), not cost (hours). Tracking cost is useless, cost simply increases with time (our team is in place, their hours are consumed, their salaries are paid) regardless of any progress made.
Estimating relative values (is this task twice as big as that task?) is much more easy for people to do.
Story points lead to a useful velocity indication, which increases when we learn how to work smarter.
The velocity will include all typical disturbances (getting coffee, regular meetings, typical interrupt levels) without the need to administer separately, so less bureaucracy.

Back in 2003, I published the results of experimenting with various values of _spin_count to improve throughput on latch congested systems. You can find the original paper here.
The study involved varying spin count on an Oracle 8.1.6 database suffering from heavy cache buffer chains latch contention. The database was running on a Windows 2000 server. The results of this study confirmed that _spin_count can be very effective in improving the throughput of latch contention-bound systems. In the test, throughput almost doubled when spin_count was raised from the default of 2000 to 10000.
I recently repeated these tests for Oracle 11g. This time, the database was experiencing shared pool and library cache latch contention and was running on RHEL 5.0. The results will be published soon in my contention series at ToadWorld. To summarize however, increasing spin_count in 11g was equally effective in reducing latch contention. As _spin_count increased, latch waits reduced and throughput increased, up until CPU saturated, at which point no further improvements were achieved.
In the 2003 tests, increasing spin count beyond the point at which CPU saturated resulted in latch waits continuing to decrease, but waits for the CPU rendering those reductions useless. In these tests, after CPU saturated latch free waits stopped reducing. I presume that this is because the session was pre-empted by the OS - effectively stopping it's spin - so that when CPU gets stressed excessive _spin_count values are effectively dishonored. In 2003 trials it looked like the sessions kept spinning, creating large run queues. The difference may be due to the scheduling differences between the Windows and Linux kernels, or it might be a difference between 8i and 11g; I'm guessing the former, but I need to do some more research when I get the chance.
I should point out that Spotlight on Oracle, the diagnostic tool i developed at Quest software, has a latch tuning module that will try and discover the most optimal value for spin_count. You might like to try it out.
Do you have some numbers concerning the sleep / spin ratio with different values of _spin_count you tried ?
The question behind this is, what is a good value for this ratio ? Is it a good idea to increase _spin_count if 1% / 0.5% / 0.1% of misses induce a sleep ?
I think every system will be different. The chance that increasing the spin count will increase the hit rate is going to be highly dependent on the type of latch and the workload. My approach when we implemented a solution in Spotlight on Oracle (www.quest.com/spotlight) was to measure wait times and as we adjusted the spin count until we found the spin count that resulted in the least waits and the highest throughput.

I've uploaded "I Wish I Were a Dog". This was written ages ago (2014), but it's still popular at live gigs, so I've added it here.
Here is "Theresa Won't Go". Woke up on Saturday with this going on in my head... or maybe it was in the mix of radio and sleep.
Welcome to my web site. This is where I share the songs I write.
I'm working on getting this web site into a better state, with more content and links and stuff. So check back soon, there's quite a lot to come. If you like, send me an email (to web@devany.com) and I'll add you to my mailing list. When I add a new song or gig or something, you'll get an email to let you know. And I promise never to sell-on the mailing list details.
Some of the songs have been professionally produced and are available via itunes and/or spotify. I'll put up links to these later.
Currently, the list on the left is the various uploads I've made recently. Better navigation will be along once I've chosen a better platform technology.

A wounded animal, they say, is the most dangerous. Donald Trump has been politically wounded, with Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives in Tuesday’s midterm elections, and he is lashing out in truly dangerous fashion.
Trump claimed the election results amounted to a “Big Victory” for him, given that the president’s party almost always loses ground mid-way through his term.
But his actions on the day after the vote spoke volumes about his true state of mind. Trump has been humbled by the voters and he knows it.
He staged a remarkable public tantrum against the news media and expressed open pleasure at the defeat of members of his own party who distanced themselves from him.
Asked whether the new Democrat-controlled House might step up investigations into his political and financial affairs, he issued an ominous and possibly illegal threat to investigate them in retaliation.
And most concerning of all, he abruptly fired his attorney-general, Jeff Sessions, in a move that may make it easier for him to end or severely limit the special counsel looking into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
It isn’t clear how far Trump will dare to go. Democrats and many others are already warning about a “constitutional crisis” if the president tries to shut down the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been investigating possible links between Russia and the Trump campaign.
But the way Trump is proceeding so far already poses a real threat. Far from being hobbled by voters who handed control of the House to Democrats, he is showing he may well be becoming even more dangerous.
This is the man who has now been put in charge of the Justice Department, and is expected to be given direct oversight of Mueller.
It all raises the spectre of the Mueller investigation being shut down, or at the very least crippled, either by being directed to severely limit the scope of its activities or simply by being de-funded. Either way, it would set the stage for a showdown between Trump and the newly emboldened Democrats, fresh from their victory on Tuesday.
That victory was a real one, even if it fell short of the “Blue Wave” that many hoped for after almost two years of Trump’s misrule, unrestrained by either house of Congress.
Trump proclaimed that the midterms were a “referendum about me,” so it’s not hard to see the vote as a rebuke to his ugly brew of bullying, aggressive nationalism and repudiation of all norms of political behaviour. At last, American voters drew a line on that.
Tuesday’s vote was one step on the road to ending the destructive Trump era. But that fight is far from over, and it’s clear Trump will stop at little to fend off the threat to his power.

For this problem, wouldn't the SO3 molecule have a shorter bond length than SO2? The solution manual shows that they are approximately the same. Both the molecules only have double bonds but the SO2 molecule has a lone pair on its central S atom. Wouldn't the lone pair weaken the S-O bond in SO2 (thus its bond length would be larger relative to the bond length of SO3)?
The lone pair distorts the bond angle because it repels the bonds away from itself. This decreases the bond angle, but it doesn't necessarily change the bond lengths.

#602345 - Sat Mar 05 2011 05:39 PM Photo Chain 2 - Only one entry a week please.
Here we go on our new photo chain.
Take inspiration from the last photo (in Photo Chain) and post it to the thread. In the words of Jillian, it can be as obvious or as tenuous as you like .. just have fun with it!
The last photo was a red brick building once owned by a railway and now a community arts centre.
Here is another red brick building, formerly a railway station and now a Seniors Centre.
The Victoria Terminus train station, Mumbai.

Oh, goodness, I stood on that exact spot to take a photo Sharon! It's an incredible building.
Only Happy Beagles do the Happy Beagle Dance!
Is it a sundial? It looks like it might be.
From the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition at Cottesloe Beach. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this one or not.
I tried to get a clearer shot but there were too many lamp posts in the way. I should've realised that you must've visited Mumbai when you mentioned going to Panchgani.
1980! So all my photos are real ones and so faded as to be unscannable. I loved it all and your pictures bring it back.My husband had been at school in Panchgani.
Here's another sculpture/statue, tucked away in an alley in the old town of Quebec City.
We have almost exactly that picture, Zorba! We spent our honeymoon in Quebec, lo these many years ago.
These are Tennessee Fainting Goats. Not a very good picture I am afraid but the location wasn't conducive to taking photos (taken in Calistoga, California, on our USA trip in 2008).
"A fainting goat is a breed of domestic goat whose muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled. Though painless, this generally results in the animal collapsing on its side. The characteristic is caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita. When startled, younger goats will stiffen and fall over. Older goats learn to spread their legs or lean against something when startled, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle."

TITLE: Pathogenesis and Early Progression of Lung Cancer LAYPERSON’S SUMMARY In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer, accounting for 30% of all cancer deaths. Texas is no exception, where lung cancer is equally sobering, due the state’s unique demographics and the high prevalence of smoking in minority populations. Indeed, global trends, particularly in the developing world, imply a continued economic and personal cost of great proportion. Yet, intriguingly, amidst this bleakness is an opportunity for a transformation in preventative medicine and clinical care, born from recent high-profile discoveries and revolutions in molecular biology, data science, and clinical technologies. Investigators in our proposal have made integral contributions to all of these discoveries and have expertise in key technologies. Together these factors -- the pressing need to address lung cancer prevention and treatment, along with important recent discoveries and advances in molecular, computational and clinical science -- create the unparalleled opportunity for solving problems in lung cancer detection, diagnosis and clinical management. Providing solutions for a complex disease requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach. The common overall goals of our proposal provide a unifying foundation upon which our multi-disciplinary team can interact. Our proposal, Pathogenesis and Early Progression of Lung Cancer consists of investigators with deep scientific expertise and leverages the large volume of patients that visit three institutions in the Texas Medical Center (TMC) – UT MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), and Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). We expect this work will lead to significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, by pursuing the following overarching themes (organized by project): a) discovering new layers of complexity among the populations of cells that comprise a tumor and the relationship of this complexity to patient outcome (Project 1); b) determining whether anti-tumor aspects of our immune system can be enhanced and used to predict outcome and improve treatment strategies (Project 2); c) using early changes in the genome of tumor cells to develop novel ways to diagnose metastasis to the lymph nodes, which serve as the gateway to more distant organs (Project 3); e) developing simple non-invasive blood tests for assessing risk of lung cancer development and implementing effective screening strategies and personalized treatments (Project 4). Adding to the significance of our overall application is the cohesive and inter-dependent nature of our projects. Knowledge and techniques to detect mutations in small portions of potentially complex mixtures of tumor cells (Projects 1 and 3), which could then be used for diagnosing the extent to which tumor has invaded the lymph nodes (Project 3). Complementing these investigations, detailed study of the inflammatory process in tumors (Project 2) will be conducted with an ultimate goal of proposing translational treatment options based on the body’s own native immune functions. For all projects, discovery of molecular events that are germane to the phenomena being studied become natural candidates for blood-based markers for early diagnosis and prediction of outcome patients with localized lung cancer (Project 4). While the specific proposals are designed for the study of lung cancer, the themes and paradigms that we will explore may be applied to other cancers. Tumor heterogeneity and genome-based diagnostics have been posited as important and possible, but only recently have revolutions in molecular biotechnology made them feasible. Leveraging the immune system to harness anti-tumor specificity is one of the most promising areas across the field of cancer research and has revolutionized lung cancer treatment. Finally, blood-based tests, or a liquid biopsy, based on circulating components from cancer cells or other markers have long been described as a holy grail of cancer detection and diagnosis, as well as prediction of tumor relapse, but only recently have become a distinct reality. Thus, successes of our project should impact research and patient prognosis for other cancer types, as well. Regardless of these bonus discoveries, however, ultimately our proposed project, if funded, will reduce the mortality of lung cancer and its burden on early stage patients and their families in Texas and the Nation.

Transferring to the West End from the Menier Chocolate Factory, Trevor Nunn’s faithful production of Bock, Harnick and Stein’s musical retains its sense of intimacy and pertinence.
Designer Robert Jones has made a shtetl of the reconfigured Playhouse Theatre. The small stage is crammed with rickety wooden houses and wintry trees. The set carries into the auditorium and a ramp curls through the stalls, allowing the audience to get up close to the inhabitants of Anatevka.
As put-upon milkman Tevye, Andy Nyman doesn’t have the most striking of singing voices, though he can let rip when he needs to, but he brings a winning mixture of warmth and weariness to the role. He creaks his way appealingly through If I Were a Rich Man and his eyes glitter with love for his daughters even when they’re a source of torment to him.
Judy Kuhn, as his wife Golde, is, if anything, even better – sharp but soft, her voice full of tenderness. Their duet on Do You Love Me? is delicate, moving and suffused with a sense of the shared affection that comes from spending 25 years in each other’s company.
Jerome Robbins’ choreography, recreated by Matt Cole, feels particularly thrilling in this small space; the scene in which the villagers end up in a whirling, wary, but eventually celebratory dance with the Russian cossacks is an energetic highlight.
While some of the playing is broad, Nunn’s production is rich and resonant, and the drawn-out last scene in which the villagers are forced out of their homes is as potent a reminder as there ever was that life is precarious.

Tick tock. The clock stopped at 12. The night in its most frightening hour devoured the sky outside. Time seemed to slow itself. He couldn’t sleep. The pale face of the man hid beneath the darkness. Darkness meant he would be safe, but only for a couple of hours. It would be back. It always came back, and, as long as it wasn’t dark, it would stay. There were no lights around. He was safe. The man kept looking outside, wishing that 6AM never came. Morning would bring It to life, and It would follow the man, It would try to take his life. It had tried before, and It would try again.
It could not bear being only the shadow. It wanted a life of its own, but as long as the man was alive, It – the shadow – would have to follow. It was the order of things. Humans live, shadows follow.
The man knew all about shadows. He had seen his shadow moving once, heard its whisper, and seen its empty grey eyes. It was conscious, and it was vicious. Shadows are the opposite of its humans. His shadow was devious. It could kill, it would kill.
Something happened outside. A strange light lit the street as people gathered around a fatal accident. An explosion. At first the man was blinded, and then he was afraid. Light! There could be no light. He stood up. Noise.
“Who’s there?” asked the man but no answer came. He looked at the floor now reflecting the light outside. It wasn’t there, his shadow was missing. The man was not crazy. For years had he been fancied mad, but there rested no madness. It was fear. His enemy was too close. His enemy was part of him. Noise.
The curtain behind him had been ripped apart. The light now was greater than ever. It shone throughout all the room that was now as clear as day. “Where are you?” screamed the man.
It just waited for a perfect moment and It was not alone. More shadows had come, all from the dead bodies that now lay in the street. It was their master. The shadows had planned their emancipation. Freedom was minutes away. The man walked to a dark room, but the shadows had locked all. He started to cry in despair. “Show yourself,” he screamed, and screamed, but no one seemed to listen.
It was happening, he thought. Soon he would be dead, the It would take over. Noise. Noise. Noise. The noise became clearer and clearer every time. It was a whisper. It was closer, and closer. “Why?” asked the man. It showed itself in the wall. His feet connected to It. “Because I deserve freedom from your mind,” It whispered back as It lunched forward. The other shadows crept from behind and held the man’s hands. They brought a knife and its blade went through the man’s chest. The color of his eyes was gone.
The man breathed again and opened his eyes. He looked out in the window… two cars were about the crash. He ran and tried to get in other room, but it was locked. An explosion succeeded an great deal of light. He looked at the curtain, it was ripped. He looked at floor, It wasn’t there. The man ran out of the door filled with madness. An impulse came to his mind and he obeyed. Slowly he walked towards the fire, throwing himself at the flames. They soon consumed his flesh, leaving only a shadow. It smiled and the other shadows gathered. Time seemed to slow itself. Tick tock. The clock in the house stopped at 12.

Maria Kirilenko created the first shock of this year's Australian Open with an epic victory over fellow-Russian Maria Sharapova.
(CNN) -- Former champion Maria Sharapova was the biggest name to fall as she lost an epic three-set match with fellow-Russian Maria Kirilenko on a wet and windy opening day at the Australian Open.
Sharapova committed 66 unforced errors to lose 7-6 3-6 6-4 in a match that lasted a marathon three hours and 21 minutes.
It was a disappointing early exit for 14th seed Sharapova and continued a poor recent run in majors after she lost in the second round at Wimbledon and third round at the U.S. Open last year.
The 2008 winner told reporters. "I could be disappointed or I could take it as it is and just go back on the court and keep working.
"I choose option two. It's just a bad day. A bad day's not going to stop me from doing what I love.
"I'm still going to go back on the court and work hard and perform. I'll be back here on a Saturday of the second week, so you watch."
The anticipated second-round clash between returning Belgian Justin Henin and fifth seed Elena Dementieva will occur after they both negotiated the first round.
Henin made her return to a grand slam after a 20-month retirement by beating compatriot Kirsten Flipkens 6-4 6-3, before Dementieva conceded just three games to see off Vera Dushevina 6-2 6-1.
Both players are in form with wild card entrant Henin reaching the final at Brisbane a fortnight ago in her first tournament back, while Dementieva won the Sydney International last week after beating world number one Serena Williams in the final.
Henin's fellow-returning Belgian Kim Clijsters hardly needed to raise a sweat as she beat Canadian qualifier Valerie Tetreault 6-0 6-4.
The U.S. Open champion raced through the opening set in just 23 minutes, and while she took her foot off the accelerator in the second, the match was always within the 15th seed's keeping.
Last year's runner-up and second seed Dinara Safina was made to battle for her first win beating Magdalena Rybarikova 6-4 6-4 in 89 minutes, while fellow-Russian and third seed Svetlana Kuznetsova was a straight-sets winner over Anastasia Rodionova 6-1 6-2.

Elton John, Bruno Mars, Meryl Streep and others have a ball singing songs you wouldn't expect as Channing and Jenna Dewan Tatum torridly tango.
Imagine The Wizard of Oz starring Meryl Streep as Dorothy, James Taylor as the Scarecrow, Sting as the Tin Man and Elton John as the Cowardly Lion. Well, thanks to the Rainforest Fund benefit concert, you don't have to anymore. The show's surreal opening number featured that (noncostumed) all-star cast warbling 'If I Only Had a Brain', and it was only the beginning.
These annual Carnegie Hall shows organized by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler always are a highlight of the musical year. They usually follow the concept of stars singing songs they've never done before and likely will never do again, thereby providing strong incentive for attendees to part with serious cash for the ultra-pricey tickets.
This year's edition, Songs From the Silver Screen, was a typical delight. Along with the Oz team, it featured Jennifer Hudson, Bruno Mars, Vince Gill, Rosanne Cash, Bryn Terfel and Rita Wilson, with Channing and Jenna Dewan Tatum offering dance support.
The fun comes from seeing the performers step out of their comfort zones: Sir Elton warbling 'Moon River', Sting crooning 'Singin' in the Rain', Taylor singing 'Shall We Dance?' from The King and I before proceeding to do just that with Wilson, opera star Terfel bellowing an Argentine-flavored 'Roxanne' in stentorian tones as the Tatums torridly tangoed on the sidelines.
Streep, whose musical credits range from Broadway to ABBA on the big screen, charmingly sang 'When You Wish Upon a Star' and duetted with Sting on a playful 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off'. Cash did a sultry 'Ode to Billie Joe' and a moving 'Everybody's Talkin'.' Hudson reprised her signature Dreamgirls number 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going'. Gill harmonized with Wilson on a sweet 'All I Have to Do Is Dream'. Terfel delivered a seeming audition for a Man of La Mancha revival with a booming 'The Impossible Dream'. And Sting, accompanied by bassist Esperanza Spalding, did a jazzy 'Be-Bop-A-Lula'.
Mars got some of the biggest cheers of the evening, first for his soaring duet with John on 'Unchained Melody' and again for his hip-swiveling 'Jailhouse Rock'.
Not everything worked. Taylor, who seems temperamentally unsuited for the angst of 'Ol' Man River', somehow managed to turn it into a feel-good song.
On the other hand, John, informing the crowd that ''It has become a custom at these shows for me to humiliate myself,'' good-naturedly fulfilled his mandate by singing 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' while waving his rock-covered digits and bumping and grinding with Channing Tatum.
''Well, I guess I can cross that off the bucket list,'' declared Gill, who unfortunately had to go on next.
President Clinton, a seemingly ubiquitous figure at such events, delivered a speech about the global environmental crisis. On a more lighthearted note, he pointed out, ''I'm the only person in the audience old enough to remember the original version of every tune done here.'' But that didn't prevent him from misidentifying the composer of 'Be-Bop-A-Lula' as Gene Pitney instead of Gene Vincent.
Is this available on any media for purchase?
Jennifer Hudson and Bruno Mars have been added to the incredible lineup for the upcoming Revlon Concert for the Rainforest Fund! They join an all-star list of performers including Sting, Elton John, James Taylor, Meryl Streep, Vince Gill, Rosanne Cash, and Bryn Terfel at the concert on April 3, 2012, which will be held at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage, followed by a gala dinner.

Guest artists include Taiwan-born pianist Sandra Wright Shen returning to the SASO stage along with first-time soloists – Brazilian trumpeter Flávio Gabriel and clarinetist Lucas Ferreira, Mexican violinist Adolfo Alejo, British violinist Madeleine Mitchell, Tucson cellist Theodore Buchholz and Rick Wamer, a mime who studied with Marcel Marceau. The SASO chorus joins the orchestra for the season finale – Mozart’s Coronation Mass. Bulgarian Nayden Todorov will guest conduct the February concerts. Lerner conducts the other four concert cycles.

The program also showcases opera arias sung by winners of the Linus Lerner International Voice Competition that will be held again this summer in San Luis Potosí in Mexico. This free concert is sponsored by the Mexican Consulate in Tucson and the Instituto Cultural Mexicano de Tucson. Tickets will be distributed by the Mexican Consulate, 3915 E. Broadway. Call the consulate at 882-5595, Ext. 404 after Sept. 1.
Lerner has conducted SASO musicians both here and abroad, including two China tours, one tour of his native Brazil and several opera festivals in Mexico – three in Oaxaca and two in San Luis Potosí.
Philanthropist and musician Dorothy Dyer Vanek is SASO’s season sponsor for the 12th consecutive year. Vanek also underwrote both of SASO’s CDs – “Celebration!” which features the music of Tucson composers – and the well-reviewed premiere recordings of two viola concertos with soloist Brett Deubner on the Naxos label.
SASO is a vital community resource that unites performers and audiences through a passion for music. Founded in 1979, this orchestra presents world premieres, seldom-performed treasures and classical favorites. Learn more at www.sasomusic.org or call (520) 308-6226.
