The Online News Association Job Fair in Washington, DC seemed like a great place to do some investigating of the multimedia job market – and it was. Ironically, the recruiters came from USA Today, Gannett, New York Times, Associated Press, Tribune Media Services, McClatchy and the Washington Post among others Ironic because on the same day these companies were looking for multimedia journalists, several were in the midst of laying off hundreds of people.
Trever says they also stressed “real world experience” and the importance of being bi- or multi-lingual.
Student journalists are lucky – they’re perfectly positioned to take classes and internships that will help them develop these skills. Veteran journalists can do it, too – and perhaps adapt even more easily. Excellent writing skills and experience are a lot harder to develop than basic software and technical expertise, but that “flexibility, confidence, adaptability and versatility” is what will make the difference for them.

Thanks to good ol' Donald Glover, Marvel's Deadpool is officially coming to TV.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glover and his brother, Stephen Glover, will be writing and executive producing an "animated adult action-comedy series" based on Marvel's Deadpool for FXX. The brothers will also serve as showrunners for the 10-episode series, which will launch in 2018. FX reportedly approached Glover, which THR noted could be in part because of his "increasing geek cred." Reportedly, a writers' room has already been set up in London.

If you prayed and accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, the Bible tells us in the verse above that if you "believe on the name of the Son of God...ye may know that ye have eternal life" ...the key word in that verse is KNOW! If you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, there is a promise of assurance that comes with accepting. It's not a vision, not a voice from Heaven, not even a miraculous gift of healing or anything of the kind...but search your heart...do you feel like a load has been lifted from your questions of eternity? Do you feel peace as your lay your head down to sleep at night? Get in God's Word (King James Bible/version...*not NKJV) and search the scriptures and you will find answers your looking for. If you're not sure where to begin, email degarmoandkey@yahoo.com and receive help!
Salvation by GRACE through FAITH in Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!

A man of culture living at Damascus and Safed between 1473 and 1485. He was the author of a commentary on some parts of Maimonides' Yad ha-Ḥazaḳah, and copied the commentary of an Arabian writer on the first philosophical sections of that work. He also edited an Arabic commentary on the Pentateuch, of which only fragments are now extant, and composed philosophical hymns in Arabic and Hebrew. In 1451 he copied at Aden the dictionary of Tanḥuma. Saadia b. David circulated under his own name and under the title "Zakat al-Nufus" a work of the Arabian writer Ghazali on the views of the philosophers. An autograph of this spurious work is extant in a defective manuscript in the St. Petersburg Library.
Another Saadia b. David, surnamed Zarafah, a Mauritanian, was the author of a responsum in the manuscript "Zera 'Anashim," and of a poem, printed in 1623, on Solomon Duran's "Ḥesheḳ Shelomoh."

Dongyu Chen received his B.S. in physics from Peking University in July, 2015. As an undergraduate student, his research mainly focused on optics and nanophotonics, especially on the whispering-gallery mode cavities and micro-resonator based frequency combs.
Now Dongyu is a first-year EE Ph.D. student at University of Southern California. He is a member of Professor Andrea Armani's research group. He will conduct some interdisciplinary research in Prof. Armani's lab.
Optical frequency combs are useful tools in many areas. We use micro-cavities to generate frequency combs and use them in a variety of fields.
We use Comsol or finite difference time domain, specifically Lumerical, to model many of the properties of the optical fields in our waveguides and resonators.
Through investigating and developing different optical materials, we want to design and build different optical resonators for different applications.
Dongyu currently doesn't have any publications.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (February 25, 2007) – Matt Bohon (Cole Camp, Mo.) learned first hand tonight what it feels like to be the hometown hero. In front of his home state crowd, he claimed the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Classic event title and $30,453 dollars for his efforts. Stop number 9 on the Built Ford Tough Series Presented by Wrangler (BFTS), proved to be a weekend of rank bulls, sizzling rides and wrecks, and a big payday for the Missouri cowboy.
Bohon entered the Built Ford Tough Championship Round in second place to Aussie, Brendon Clark (Morpeth, Aus.) The crowd erupted when the Missouri cowboy took Texas of Chad Berger/Dakota Cattle Co.’s for an 89.25 point trip. As the only bull rider to cover all four of the bulls, Bohon walked away with the prestigious Enterprise Rent-A-Car Classic event title and 30,453 dollars richer.
You can catch Bohon and the rest of the top 45 for the third and the Built Ford Tough Championship Round tonight on VERSUS at 8:00 p.m. EST. Please check your local listings or visit http://www.pbrnow.com/media/tv/ for the complete broadcast schedule.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s “Ride with the Best” Match-up Bonus: As the winner of the Amp’d Mobile Invitational in Anaheim, Calif. Greg Potter (Queensland, Aus.) was eligible for the Enterprise Rent-A-Car “Ride with the Best” bonus money in St. Louis, Mo., a potential $15,000 bonus check. Potter was unsuccessful in rounds 1 and 2, but made a qualified ride on Re-Vamp of Chumley Cattle Company’s, awarding himself $5,000 dollars.
Ford Truck Moment of Truth Bonus: Australian cowboy Brendon Clark (Morpeth, Aus.) led the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Classic going into the Built Ford Tough Championship Round. Had he won the event, Clark would have taken home the bonus of $10,000. Clark did not finish the event in the top spot, therefore the Ford Truck Moment of Truth Bonus increases to $15,000 at the next BFTS event in New Orleans, La.
Ford Super Duty Challenge: As the event winner, Matt Bohon (Cole Camp, Mo.) has qualified for a chance to compete at the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals, against all other 2007 Built Ford Tough Series event winners, for $50,000 toward the purchase of a 2007 Ford Super Duty Truck. The Ford Super Duty Challenge contestant who finishes the highest in the event aggregate during the 2007 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals will win the Ford Super Duty Challenge.
Bully Dog Short Go Top Qualifier: Brendon Clark (Morpeth, Aus.) was awarded $2,500 for being the bull rider with the highest cumulative score (i.e. highest in the event average) going into the Built Ford Tough Championship Round and for properly displaying the Top Qualifier Patch.
Salem National Lease Bull of the Event: Copperhead Slinger of Chad Berger/Ryken/Larson accrued a 45.25 bull score, which was enough to claim the High Marked Bull the Event title and $1,250 as a part of Salem National Lease’s exciting bonus program. The program awards $1,250 to the top bull of the event as determined by the PBR judges’ bull scores.
Cabela’s World’s Foremost Ride: The “Iron Man” J.W. Hart (Overbrook, Okla.) recorded the highest marked ride of the event when he topped Texas of Chad Berger/Dakota Cattle Co. for 90.5 points.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s (OSSE) District of Columbia Model Teacher Evaluation System (MTES) is a comprehensive evaluation framework designed to help local education agencies (LEAs) assess the performance of their teachers. The framework serves as the foundation for comprehensive teacher evaluation processes.
The MTES was developed for DC educators by DC educators and was piloted by seven DC LEAs. The effective teaching framework includes observations with a corresponding rubric, feedback, coaching domains, a teacher action planning tool, and a suite of other related resources.
School leaders are essential to local education agencies (LEA) strategies for improving educational equity and student achievement in public schools in the District of Columbia. To support District of Columbia LEAs, OSSE worked with the Center on Great Teachers and Leaders, other national experts, and educators from across the District to improve supports for principals. A first result of this effort is the new Model DC School Leadership Standards, which align with national principal standards and are tailored to the local DC context. This document is an optional support for DC LEAs, who can use these standards as a tool in their recruitment, preparation, development, evaluation, and retention of school leaders.
The DC Staffing Data Collaborative is a partnership between LEAs, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), and TNTP that is designed to help LEAs develop a strategic staffing policy to attract and retain the teachers they need. The LEAs, that participated in the project so far, have enjoyed a leading role in choosing the data they submit to OSSE; funding for administering the TNTP School Insight Survey; and a robust analysis of their staffing data. In the upcoming weeks, we are offering additional LEAs the opportunity to join the third year of the project. In addition to providing LEAs with meaningful data analysis to assist with effective staffing, the project aims to change the way LEAs work with OSSE on teacher-related data collection, reporting, and use.

In the project Intelligently Moving Manikin (IMMA), FCC cooperates with Volvo, Volvo Cars, Innovatum, SAAB Automobile, Scania CV, Virtual Manufacturing Sweden, Chalmers, Lund University and University of Skövde to develop a tool for ergonomics combined with path planning.
In order to analyze and control biomechanical motions performed by humans during assembly of e.g. cars, virtual modelling of mannequins is of great interest for the manufacturing industry. This is addressed in the ProViking 2 project IMMA by development of a computer environment where analyses of motions can be performed already in the production development phase.
Such analyses minimize the risk of potential body joint and muscle problems for assembly personnel. Also, mannequin analyses will help ensuring that the assembly motions are collision free both for the human and the object to be assembled. This type of computer analysis contributes to a more effective assembly process with a reduced number of injuries and a higher level of quality.
The results in the IMMA project will be a software demonstrator as well as academic publications. The first official release of the IPS IMMA software will be in May 2017.

Thousands of residents throughout the region may be spared extra pangs of hunger in the coming months thanks to generous donors who have stepped forward to help York County Food Rescue.
The nonprofit organization based in Sanford was facing threat of closure after receiving a sudden eviction notice from its landlord, Jagger Mills LLC, on May 18.
Director Jodi Bissonnette, reached last week shortly after receiving the eviction notice, said she had appeared before a court judge and been granted an extra week on the premises. But it was still a scramble to figure out how to move thousands of pounds of food, a walk-in freezer that holds 12 pallets and other equipment by April 1.
Word spread quickly among area food pantry and soup kitchen volunteers, as well as the media. Bissonnette said Tuesday that she has two leads on new spaces, rent-free, for the organization. She also has been offered storage space in an unused York County building.
Bissonnette said she will disclose the new York County Food Rescue site later this week, but in the meantime she's overseeing a big move. The organization stores and gives out tremendous supplies of food each month, serving 47 food pantries and soup kitchens in York County. A total of 1.2 million pounds of food was handed out last year, all for free, helping nearly 68,000 families.
These numbers serve as a reminder of the need in our region.
It's not just areas that may be perceived as "poor" that receive food from organizations such as York County Food Rescue, it's communities throughout southern Maine, where many residents lead affluent lives.
It's wonderful news that York County Food Rescue has been spared, and we know many will benefit from the continued operation of this important organization.
The threat of the organization's closure also is a wake-up call. Although we think of winter as a time of hardship, for many families the need for assistance continues right through the spring and summer months. Area food pantries and soup kitchens rely heavily on the generosity of donors and volunteers, and there are many ways to help out.
Sign up to serve a meal, or help prepare food for an organization or soup kitchen. Grab a few extra cans of non-perishables while at the supermarket and drop them off at a food pantry. Plant a "row for the hungry" in your garden this year, reserving some of your fresh produce for others.
Or, should you have the ability, write a check — dollars help pantries and soup kitchens purchase food, often at deeply discounted prices, as well as supplies that may be given out to families.
The loss of York County Food Rescue would have been devastating for the area, but even with its continued operation, anyone helping those in need can tell you that every little bit counts.

A feisty Donald Trump takes on the media during a news conference on the White House. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. President Donald Trump took on an adversarial tone with the media at his news conference on Thursday, at times cutting off reporters, telling them to sit down and accusing some reporters of being liars and asking bad questions. The feisty exchanges came during a lengthy news conference at the White House that covered a number of topics including Trump's immigration ban and his team's possible ties to Russia.

Nov. 24 (The Sports Xchange) - Pittsburgh Steelers running back Karlos Williams will be sidelined 10 games following his second suspension this season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, according to multiple reports.
Williams, 23, missed the first four games of the 2016 season due to a substance-abuse suspension while playing for the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills cut Williams on Aug. 21 and he joined the Steelers' practice squad Oct. 12.
The former fifth-round pick (155th overall) of the Bills in the 2015 draft rushed for 517 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games as a rookie.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is hoping to return for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after being designated to return this week from injured reserve.
Watkins was sidelined for eight games due to soreness stemming from offseason foot surgery.
Watkins, who would have a limited role against the Jaguars if he does play, last played in a Sept. 15 loss to the New York Jets in Week 2.
Minnesota Vikings center Joe Berger left the Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions with a concussion.
Berger suffered the head injury during the opening half and was declared out for the rest of the game after he was evaluated by medical personnel.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Stefon Diggs was inactive for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game.

I’m terrible at coming up with fake names. All my computers get named after characters from books too.
Both names come from a favorite series of mine, though one is a person and the other is a place.
When I searched for the phrase online, I found zero occurrences, so I figured it’d be easy to search and find references to myself later.
It’s not really a serious attempt to stay anonymous; I’d imagine someone who wanted to know my real identity could figure it out easily enough, especially once I get to writing regularly. It’s more a way to separate the topics I intend to focus on here from the lighter stuff I do on my personal blog, so I don’t have to fill my personal blog with disclaimers and explanations of controversial ideas for the people who come there looking for videos of my garden and such.
More about my plans for this blog later.
Hi there. You mentioned over at Dalrock’s place about how after living away, you moved back home and figured you were home for good and are now somewhat considering living in another country.
That’s a very familiar story as time with Uncle Sugar took me away from my home. I moved back several years ago and like you figured I would never leave.
I’m writing this from the capital city of a country other than my own, where I don’t speak the language, but where I think I could be very happy except that I can’t take my kids unless I get the ex’s permission, or bring her also. I’m not averse to her co-emigrating, but that’s actually a really long discussion.
In either case, I’ve been thinking about this for some years now and would gladly share some thoughts, but I’m not really interested in doing so publicly. If you want to chat, you’ve got my email.
Enjoy your comments on other sites… finally made it here. Keep it up, seems like you have a good head on your shoulders.
I’ve came across your site recently. Thought you might be interested in this Sprint Ad campaign. Dad/Husband is a hamster in a wheel. The grandpa of an all white family is a black man. Draw your own conclusion.
You said on another forum that “a few days ago” you in Theology class you were asked about Muslims beheading here, and you said no, evidently not knowing about this case. He was, granted, born in the US, but was influenced by some of those Muslims our betters are so happy to import.
Cail, I’m attempting to contact you and Durandel Almiras from Vox Popoli. I’m looking for other Catholics to discuss Alt-Right Catholic work. I’m working on something, and it’d be good to touch base with other Catholics on this.
It will be a disaster if the Alt-Right turns on Catholics. There are too many misunderstandings occurring.

Technology combines performance of high-speed memory and the persistence of flash storage with a boost from Intel Xeon E5-2600 v41 processors.
HPE believes its new technology can differentiate it from others in the server space.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched 'persistent memory' that can hold on to data in the event of a power failure.
The technology is designed to provide servers with storage that operates at the speed of memory while retaining data when the machine is switched off.
Richard Slyfield, server options category manager for EMEA at HPE, said the technology offers "significant gains" from a performance and resiliency standpoint compared to similar persistent memory options available today, such as attached a Solid State Drive (SSD) attached via PCIe.
HPE's persistent memory NVDIMMs (Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Modules) combine 8GB of DRAM with 8GB of flash storage. In the event of a power outage, the contents of the DRAM are backed up to the flash.
HP servers with these 8GB NVDIMMs will also include a HPE Smart Storage Battery to provide backup power.
Persistent memory will become HPE's fastest tier of ProLiant server storage. According to HPE benchmarks, NVDIMMs offer 34-times the IOPs, 16-times the bandwidth of SAS SSDs.
"Because it resides in DIMM form factor and sits on the memory bus, customers get the performance and the endurance of DRAM," said HPE's Slyfield.
Slyfield argued that firms that move to HPE's persistent memory will be able to make "faster business decisions" as they try to tap into increasing amounts of data.
"It's no secret that data is exploding and more and more customers are finding it challenging to manage that data, mine that data, and get better business results from looking at the data they have," he said.
However, HPE isn't working alone. The company has spent time working with operating system providers to ensure the technology is compatible with as many users as possible.
"What we've been doing as a company for the past 18 months is partnering with our OS partners, particularly Microsoft -- and our Linux based partners in RedHat and Hortonworks -- to get to a point where this NVDIMM technology is really going to be suited towards the market," said Slyfield.
The launch of persistent memory coincides with new additions to HPE's ProLiant Gen9 server portfolio. These include a server based on an Intel Xeon E5-2600 v41 processor, designed to offer performance gains of up to 25 percent for Gen9 servers, along with improved security.
HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers and persistent memory options are available now through HPE's channel partners, with pricing based upon server models and customer configurations. HPE 8GB NVDIMM will be available in May 2016 for initial support on HPE ProLiant DL360 and DL380 Gen9 servers with Intel E5-2600 v4 processors.

Some of you are probably wondering why I hate the "School Of Rock" TV show so much despite the fact that the first episode hasn't even aired yet. Well now I will make this all clear.
1: It forgets about the original film.
The original film was amazing, I still love it, but this show almost completely forgets about it. The only things the movie copied from the film were that a group of kids have a secret band in school, that's all I can be certain of right now. Other then that everything is forgotten, and it just follows the horrible shtick that Nickelodeon has copywrited.
2: It forgets about rock music.

A key MTA official wants to bring the Long Island Rail Road to a redeveloped Nassau Coliseum using nearby tracks that haven't been used to transport rail passengers in more than 50 years.
New LIRR president Patrick Nowakowski said MTA board member Mitchell Pally's plan to bring passenger trains near the Coliseum using the little-known Garden City-Mitchel Field Secondary line is feasible. However, a recent study commissioned by Nassau County, which owns the property, rules out the proposal as "fatally flawed."
"We can get a track close to there. We can build a station close to there," Nowakowski said last week. "The challenge is, would anybody use it?"
Pally first publicly proposed creating the transit link during a meeting last month of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board's LIRR Committee, which he chairs. Pally said he had a preliminary discussion with representatives from the Coliseum's new developer, Forest City Ratner, and from the county to urge them to consider the idea.
Under the proposal, the LIRR would run trains along a 3-mile spur that branches off the Hempstead line and runs parallel to Stewart Avenue in Garden City.
The line -- a 19th-century vestige of the old Central Railroad of Long Island that later was absorbed by the LIRR -- served the Mitchel Field air base during World War II and other stations until the LIRR discontinued passenger service on it in 1953. And when plans for development of a "Nassau Hub" that included the Coliseum were floated in the late 1990s and during the administration of County Executive Thomas Suozzi, the line was mentioned as a possible connector in the transit visions for that area.
Today, it continues to be used largely for storage and -- once a year -- by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus to bring its animals to the Coliseum, which is just south of the tracks.
Pally, explaining his rationale, drew comparisons with the LIRR's service to Citi Field for Mets games and New Jersey Transit's service to MetLife Stadium for NFL games. Similarly, he said, when the Nassau Coliseum hosts events, the LIRR could run shuttle trains between the venue and Hempstead, where customers could transfer for points west. To catch the shuttle, passengers could walk to the proposed station from the Coliseum, Pally said.
Pally, of Stony Brook, who represents Suffolk County on the MTA board, acknowledged that the service would not be a good option for Long Islanders east of the Coliseum because customers on most other lines would have to travel west to Jamaica to come back east on the Hempstead branch.
He noted, however, that the Coliseum remains the only major sports and entertainment venue in the region inaccessible by train. The LIRR's Atlantic Terminal is across the street from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn -- also a Ratner property -- and new rail stations opened in recent years both at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and the Meadowlands Sports Complex in New Jersey.
"Unfortunately, the only entities that get to the Coliseum by train at the moment are the elephants," Pally told the committee. "To me, that is not only unfortunate, but a significant anomaly in our mass transit system."
Nowakowski, while not taking a stance for or against the idea, said that logistically Pally's plan could work. But achieving it, he said, would require going through an environmental approval process and making some investments, including electrifying the tracks along the line and building a station near the Coliseum. The LIRR does not have a cost estimate for that work.
If the LIRR could run to the Coliseum site, Nowakowski questioned whether there would be enough demand to justify the expense.
"I don't think there's a market there today for service. The question would be: Are they going to do something that's going to create a market?" Nowakowski said. "Our business is to run trains and move people. And if we can accomplish that mission, we're willing to participate. But given the fact that this is centered around county lands and a developer, I don't know that our role is to lead right now."
The recently completed Nassau Hub Study Alternative Analysis Report, which considered several options for public transportation to a redeveloped Coliseum, nixed the reopening of the Garden City-Mitchel Field Secondary "because of the generally single-family, low-density residential land-use patterns in the vicinity of this segment of the alignment, which are not consistent with transit operations."
The study also noted that a 2003 state agreement with the LIRR limits the use of the tracks to the annual circus train, "thereby further complicating potential future transit operations."
Brian Nevin, spokesman for County Executive Edward Mangano, when asked for the administration's position on bringing a mass transportation link to the Coliseum site, said only, "Bus rapid transit is a critical component for the future success of the Hub."
Ratner spokesman Barry Baum said public transportation, "including the LIRR, has been a major key to our success at Barclays Center" and that the developer "would welcome any additional public transportation options to Nassau Coliseum, whether rail, rapid bus service or other options."
Pally said the findings of the county's study should not be the final word on the possibility of bringing the LIRR to a redeveloped Coliseum.
As long as the LIRR has a right of way leading to the Coliseum site, he said, the railroad should remain a logical option -- regardless of any potential resistance from residents near the tracks.
"Just because a line doesn't operate through their community doesn't mean it couldn't be resurrected for a very important reason," Pally said. "Now is the perfect opportunity to take a new look at this and not make the same mistake we made back when . . . the Nassau Coliseum was built."
Richard Barone, director of transportation programs for the Regional Plan Association, a nonprofit think tank, agreed that restoring LIRR service along the dormant line would make sense -- not only to serve the Coliseum, but other potential riders in the already dense Nassau Hub area, including students at Hofstra University and Nassau Community College.
"This is one of the most obvious places we would do this on Long Island. . . . And it really wouldn't be all that intrusive," Barone said. "If you can't do it there, then where can you do it on Long Island?"

Hailing from the charmingly-named Poundbury (an English village created under urban principles espoused by Prince Charles), Dorset Cereals produces a tasty variety of muesli, porridge and cereal bars. Unfortunately for American eaters, the only imports currently on supermarket shelves are a limited selection of the company's muesli—a mere four whittled down from its range of ten mixes. Nevertheless, these four serve as a ray of light among an often dim collection of breakfast cereals.
Dorset Cereals' packaging makes the first good impression. With pleasing colors, a no-fuss layout and a die-cut pattern of abstract leaves, it's an honest-to-goodness cereal in a simply appealing box—no further claims necessary. Dorset highlights the contents of every mix on the front, noting the approximate percentage of featured ingredients, for example "Simply Delicious Muesli" features 30% fruit, nuts and seeds while half of the "Berries & Cherrie" mix is fruit. And fortunately, the product lives up to its straightforward exterior.
While the "Simply Delicious Muesli" is a tad on the chalky side and benefits from the addition of some vanilla yogurt, the "Super Cranberry, Cherry and Almond" mix tastes like a wholesome cookie. Kids will probably reach immediately for the "Berries and Cherries," though, as noted, with that amount of dried fruit, this variety makes a better trail mix. And there's also the "Fruit, Nut & Fiber" blend, a rather pragmatic name for a delicious cereal that smells oddly like a Kudos Bar.
Check their site for Amazon also carries select flavors for bulk purchase.

1Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, "This is what the Lord has commanded. 2If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3"If a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father's house in her youth, 4and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. 5But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the Lord will forgive her, because her father opposed her.
6"If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, 7and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. 8But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the Lord will forgive her. 9(But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) 10And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, 11and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. 12But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the Lord will forgive her. 13Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. 14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. 15But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity."
16These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father's house.

That the years-long process to redevelop LeBreton Flats, complete with an NHL arena, is on the brink of collapse will be disappointing to so many. But a surprise? Not so much.
That the years-long process to redevelop LeBreton Flats, complete with an NHL arena, is on the brink of collapse will be disappointing to so many.
But a surprise? Not so much.
Most people believed on Thursday we'd get one of the National Capital Commission's usual updates on the negotiations with RendezVous LeBreton, the group led by Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and Trinity Development Group's John Ruddy.
So when NCC CEO Mark Kristmanson revealed the partners were unable to get along and this whole thing is likely going south if the two sides can't get it together by January, it was big news.
But the reason it wasn't a complete shock comes down to one factor: Melnyk.
A number of sources close to the negotiations have told CBC the Senators owner has been "uncooperative" from the start.
The sources, who could not be named because the negotiations are confidential, said Melnyk may not have the financial means to go through with the project and believe that's why the partners could not agree on a formal business partnership.
One person involved in the talks said at times Melnyk "seemed to intentionally sabotage the partnership," by waiting until the 11th hour to sign documents or even missing deadlines to sign off on routine steps.
The Senators organization disputes this.
"Throughout this process, we have respected the terms and conditions set out in our agreement with our partner," wrote Nicolas Ruszkowski, the Senators' chief operating officer.
"We will continue to do so and therefore, we will not be commenting on misleading and unattributed speculation that does not move the process forward in a constructive manner."
Fair enough. It does take two to tango.
So if there has been an unresolvable issue in the partnership, then it's likely not completely one-sided.
Still, look at how Melnyk has talked about this project in the past year.
Last December, before the outdoor game in Ottawa, Melnyk angered fans by taking a shot at them for not buying tickets and saying that "it wouldn't be a disaster for us at all if LeBreton didn't happen."
Melnyk can say, as he did in a statement sent out late Thursday afternoon, that he's "championed a downtown sports and entertainment arena, and this important civic project, since initiating our proposal in 2014."
But the news clips say otherwise.
His statement this week says that the Senators continue "to be committed to making our vision a reality."
And yet in April, at a Senators town hall, he said that the team had "stabilized" in Kanata and mused that perhaps they didn't need a downtown rink after all.
"Why are we moving? Are we moving to be closer to the very people that cannot get tickets, or won't buy tickets?" he asked.
If this is the sort of thing Melnyk will say in public about a project he's supposed to be championing, then how is he behaving behind closed doors?
That outburst led Mayor Jim Watson to tell reporters that he was going to demand to know whether Melnyk was serious about the project.
The mayor also alluded Thursday to having had to play referee between Melnyk and Ruddy.
Watson said a "challenging relationship" existed between the two and that he hoped they could get to a place where it wasn't necessary to be "constantly mediating between the two partners."
According to sources, negotiations took a turn for the worse after Melnyk fired well-respected Cyril Leeder as president of the franchise in early 2017.
Even the NCC's CEO appeared to confirm this theory, when he talked about the "changing cast of characters in this project," and mentioned how the process started with Leeder, "who we admire and who was a great leader."
Kristmanson offered no glowing descriptions — or descriptions of any kind — on other folks in the negotiations.
The NCC vows to move forward with a new vision for LeBreton Flats.
And RendezVous LeBreton has two months to fix this.
But given that Melnyk and Ruddy have been partners for a few years, it's hard to see how a few more weeks will help them.
If the deal falls apart, it'll be a major disappointment for thousands of Ottawans.
But it also may be for the best.
This was supposed to a transformative project, estimated to be worth $4 billion.
Sure, there was supposed to be a downtown arena, but there was also a plan for 4,000 residential units — including affordable housing — a Sensplex, community centre for people with disabilities, a French public school, shopping and vast, creative public spaces, all on a 21-hectare downtown site served by two LRT stations.
This process is the closest we've been to creating a new downtown community, more than 50 years after the federal government razed the community that existed on the flat.
But are these the people to bring us this new vision?
The mayor was right when he said that, as a city, "we cannot have a dysfunctional partnership construct and build this site over the next 10 to 20 years."
If the partners of RendezVous LeBreton can't get along with each other, trusting them with this special piece of Ottawa looks like a bad bet.
Maybe their own dysfunction will mean this is one gamble we won't be called upon to make.

Four U.S. Army logisticians will be on a special mission this month: competing in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. All will be trying to earn a special service medal: an Olympic Gold.
Two are motor transport operators: Sgt. Nathan Schrimsher, a modern pentathlete, and Spc. Leonard Korir, a 10,000-meter runner. Watercraft engineer Spc. Daniel Lowe competes in the air rifle and three-position prone rifle competitions; and water treatment Spc. Paul Chelimo runs the 5,000-meter.
The four logisticians are among 13 Soldiers who will be joining Gold Medalists Michael Phelps, Kevin Durant, and Katie Ledecky among others on the 555-person American Olympic roster.
And they follow in the path of military legends. Soldiers have competed in Olympic Games since 1896. In the 1912 games in Stockholm, then-2nd Lt. George S. Patton Jr. finished fifth in the inaugural running of the Modern Pentathlon, and went on to become one of the greatest leaders in military history.
Each of these Soldier-athletes represent the Army's best. They're ready, and they have the entire logistics community ready to root them on. Here is information about each one, from the Army's World Class Athlete Program.
A native of Iten, Kenya, Chelimo came to America in 2010, and ran for the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. He finished his collegiate track and field career as a World University Games Silver medalist, two-time NCAA 5,000 meter runner-up, and five-time NCAA All-American. He joined the Army in 2014, and began his journey toward the Olympic dream as a member of the Army's World Class Athlete Program. He earned his ticket to Rio by finishing 3rd in the 5,000 meters with a time of 13:35.92 at the Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon.
Also a native of Iten, Kenya, Korir attended Iona College in New Rochelle, New York, where he was a two-time NCAA champion in the 10,000 and 5,000 meters. In 2015, he won the New York City Half Marathon in 1 hour, 1 minute and 6 seconds. He joined the Army last year, and entered the Army's World Class Athlete Program in January of this year. He earned his trip to Rio with a third-place finish with a time of 28:16.97 at the Olympic Track and Field Trials.
Lowe will appear in his first Olympics. The Washington native finished second at the Olympic Trials to earn his way onto the team in the men's 10m air rifle. He also will compete in men's 50m rifle three positions. He is a member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, and believes that to win he must be mentally tough and physically ready. "You can never work hard enough, you can never stop pushing," he says.
At age 12, Schrimsher began competing in the Pentathlon, a sport where all five of its components -- fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, cross-country running, and pistol shooting -- are held on the same day. In 2015, Schrimsher finished third at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, to earn a berth in Rio. As a member of the Army World Class Athlete Program, he is well aware that he is following in the footsteps of Gen. Patton. "If I finish in fourth or hopefully medal at the Olympics," he says, "then I could say I beat Lieutenant Patton."

Over the last few weeks I’ve moved a number of websites to new website hosts. While that sounds like a major undertaking, it’s a pretty straightforward task.
One of the few parts of this process that can be tricky is viewing the site on the new website host before the Domain Name Servers (DNS) changes. The DNS maps websites to their location on the Internet. So how can you see a site on the new host if the DNS is pointing to the old location?
One way to preview a website before making a DNS change is by updating the hosts file on your computer. (Because this involves making a change to a key file on your computer, don’t attempt it unless you feel comfortable with the procedure.) The hosts file is like your computer’s version of the DNS. It maps domain names to IP addresses. If you change your hosts file to link the domain name to the new server’s IP address, you can see the site on the new website host. SiteGround has some great instructions on how to update the hosts file.
Sometimes just updating your hosts file isn’t enough. You may also need to clear your computer’s DNS cache.
If you need help moving your site to a new host, contact us.

ABC and NBC dueled to a tie with advertiser coveted adults 18-49, though ABC won the night decisively with press release friendly total viewers.
Both the Dancing with the Stars recap and the results show were lower than the previous week with adults 18-49, down 0.2 and 0.4 to 1.8 and 2.7 adults 18-49 ratings respectively. Body of Proof was steady vs. last week with a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating, but last week it was adjusted down a tenth with adults 18-49 in the finals and if there was any DWTS overrun, that could be the case again this week.
An hour of The Biggest Loser at 8p was steady (albeit at season lows) vs. last week’s two-hour telecast with a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating. The Voice’s first Tuesday elimination show of the season debuted to a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating, 22% lower than Monday’s two-hour telecast. That’s down 3% from the first results show, but comparisons are tough since it aired on a different schedule last year. But last night’s telecast was down a 54% from its first Monday telecast this season (that came on the heels of the huge post-Super Bowl episode the night before).
On Fox, Raising Hope was up a tenth to a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating, but New Girl dipped three tenths to a season low 2.3 adults 18-49 rating. Breaking In was down a tenth to a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating.
Without a new 90210 in front of it, Ringer was down a tenth to a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating.
In Nielsen’s 56 metered markets, household results were: “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” 2.6/7; CBS’s “Late Show with David Letterman,” 2.3/6; and ABC’s combo of “Nightline,” 3.8/9; and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” 2.0/6.
In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, adult 18-49 results were: “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” 0.8/4; “Late Show,” 0.6/3; “Nightline,” 1.0/5; and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” 0.6/3.
At 12:35 a.m., “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” (1.3/4 in metered-market household) beat CBS’s “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” (1.1/4). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Late Night” (0.5/3 in 18-4) topped “Late Late Show” (0.3/2).

Recently I put the detailed grooming steps for the OpsMgr DB into a graphical form that I share here. Please note – even though there are specific tables shown here don’t consider this posting sanction to modify these tables. Doing so is unsupported and the tables are included here as information only and to show the total snapshot of the grooming process. Further, the diagram below shows the detail around grooming the OpsMgr DB for partition objects (event/perf) but leaves detail about grooming other data types, such as self-tuning threshold data, alerts, state changes, job status, etc. Information about ACS grooming, discovery data grooming, data warehoulse grooming, etc., is also absent. All that to say, grooming is a multi-step process and, while many of the moving parts are shown below, many are also not detailed.

For other ships with the same name, see USS Arcadia.
USS Arcadia (AD-23) in 1958.
USS Arcadia was one of four Klondike-class destroyer tenders built at the tail end of World War II for the United States Navy, and the third U.S. Naval vessel to bear that name. Destroyer tenders were typically named after U.S. National Parks. However the destroyer tender AD-23 was apparently misnamed Arcadia in an effort to commemorate Acadia National Park in Maine.
Arcadia was laid down on 6 March 1944 at Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, San Pedro, California; launched on 19 November; sponsored by the widow of Captain Edward L. Beach; fitted out at Terminal Island, San Pedro, California; and commissioned on 13 September 1945 with Capt. James M. Connally in command.
Following shakedown training off San Diego, the destroyer tender departed the west coast to join the Atlantic Fleet at Charleston, S.C.. World War II had been over for several months when she arrived at her berth on the Wando River on 1 December. Arcadia served as tender to destroyers joining the inactive fleet at Charleston, and she also developed the official program for decommissioning and inactivation to be used by tenders of her own class. Arcadia was placed in commission, in reserve, on 7 February 1947 and served as accommodation vessel for Submarine Group 1 of the Charleston group, Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She was placed in full commission on 1 August 1951 and assigned a new home port, Newport, R.I., where she tended destroyers in the Narragansett Bay area.
Arcadia supported the Atlantic Fleet with repair services until 1968 when she was decommissioned. She served as 6th Fleet destroyer tender during many deployments to the Mediterranean where she made working visits to such ports as Naples, Italy; Cannes, France; Valencia, Spain, Palma, and Barcelona, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; Piraeus, Greece; and Istanbul, Turkey. The tender visited the Caribbean while exercising in yearly "Springboard" operations in the 1950s and 1960s, calling at ports in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and the Virgin Islands. In October 1964 Arcadia steamed to Orange, Texas to strip five mothballed high-speed transports for parts needed by active duty destroyers. The six-week trip netted nearly $800,000 worth of parts and equipment for use by the ships of the Atlantic Fleet.
Although she serviced destroyers primarily, Arcadia was called upon in November 1966 to repair the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga. The tender departed Newport on 19 November for the cruise to Mayport, Florida where she remained until 13 December completing the repair work needed following a Mediterranean cruise. She returned to Newport and resumed her normal operations. In both 1966 and 1967, Arcadia made cruises to Key West and Naval Station Mayport to provide services to Destroyer Division 601, Destroyer Squadron 16, and reserve training destroyers from various ports in the Gulf of Mexico.
Arcadia was decommissioned on 28 June 1968, berthed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet contingent in the James River on 15 November, and formally transferred to the Maritime Administration on 30 June 1969. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 July 1973, and she was sold to Levin Metals of San Jose, California on 1 August 1974 and scrapped in San Pedro, California.

In his diary for 22 October 1911 at Kill Devil Hills, Orville Wright wrote, "Tate & family called in morn. Geo. Baum called. Went to K.H. to get provision. Looked over situation of 1900 camp." This photo, which appears to include old friend Bill Tate (center), probably Baum (on right), and a maturing son, is likely near or at the location of the 1900 camp adjacent to Tate's former house.

ROYAL Navy warships were AGAIN called to tail a Russian anti-submarine ship steaming through the English Channel today.
Two Brit ships raced to shadow three Russian vessels racing north towards the Dover Strait earlier this afternoon.
HMS Mersey was called from Portsmouth to watch over the Severomorsk anti-submarine frigate.
It was later joined by HMS Iron Duke as the Brit sailors watched over their Russian counterparts.
Lieutenant Commander George Storton, HMS Mersey’s Commanding Officer, said: “[We were] ready to respond within a matter of hours to this tasking.
“This is routine business for the Royal Navy, and HMS Mersey herself is well-versed in this role with this being the fourth such operation in the last two months."
The 163 metre-long Severomorsk was joined by intelligence ship Vasily Tatishchev and a Russian tug.
The 37-year-old Russian ship's commander Vadim Serga earlier told The Star his 7,000-tonne boat had passed Dover.
He said: "Today, large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet, Severomorsk, passed through the Dover Strait, the narrowest part of the English Channel.
The move by Moscow is just the latest time Russian ships have been sent through the Channel by Vladimir Putin over the past year.
In October, Navy vessels monitored Russian ships, including the smoke-belching Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, as they passed through the Dover Strait en route to the Syrian coast.

(Reuters) - At least five animal rights activists on Monday rushed the stage as presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke at a rally in Oakland, video posted online showed.
A Secret Service agent rushed to Sanders' side, grabbed him and wrapped his arms around the presidential candidate during the ruckus.
"We don't get intimidated easily," said Sanders, as he resumed his speech.
“Bernie Sanders claims to support the 'good' farms," activist Rachel Ziegler said in the statement. "But as our repeated investigations have shown, even the 'good' farms are horrific."
The organization posted a video online showing at least five protesters being led away by security personnel after they climbed onto the stage.
Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, is running far behind Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election.

This paper by Statistics Finland reports the development process of a register-based census system in Finland and identifies conditions that need to be in place in order to move over from a traditional census and adopt new methodology. It describes both the Finnish experiences of using register data and the register-based population and housing census system itself from the viewpoint of the essential features of population censuses according to the UN population census recommendations.
Paper presented at the 2006 plenary session of the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) in Paris (13-15 June 2006).

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Matthew 9:36-38).
Jesus instructed his disciples to pray. He traveled through “cities and villages,” preaching in synagogues. Crowds thronged to hear him. He told them a message that they heard as good news, a message about the kingdom. As he spoke, he noticed that they were “harassed and helpless.” Their condition aroused compassion in Jesus. Politically, Jesus and these people lived in a land occupied by foreign military forces and ruled by a nation far away. Socially, many lived in poverty; they also frequently suffered from diseases for which we know cures but they did not. Religiously (and often politically), they longed for a savior, a Messiah, who would rescue them; some however had so entwined themselves with their vision of what that savior would be that they could not hear his message without encasing it in their vision. People chafing under political oppression wanted to take Jesus by force and make him king Read the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand in John 6 and look for that phrase). At least one of Jesus’ apostles, Simon the zealot, was or had been one of them. Others had so aligned themselves with the occupying forces that they had trouble hearing a message of deliverance. One of Jesus’ apostles, a tax collector named Matthew, had worked for the occupying government. Religious leaders shared some of the popular concepts; when they heard and saw Jesus, they feared him. Somehow he posed a threat; they charged that he cast out demons by the power of the ruler of the demons (Matthew 9:34).
Sometimes, we want to package this story in the clothing of our own political, social, and especially religious context. Some aspects of the story fit; helpless people still live today, and many suffer harassment from others who do not respect their race, gender, religion, or social status. We, however, may divorce these factors from our application of the story. When discussing good news, or “gospel,” we may not consider how what Jesus said seemed to be good news to his contemporaries. So we may also mistake how what he said is good news for our contemporaries. While Jesus taught in synagogues, he taught a message that applied to every part of life. He revealed that “comfort zones” and that “felt needs” often obstruct God’s healing our hurts and meeting our real needs.
Jesus preached, but also healed hurting people. He healed, but stressed to his disciples that his priority was preaching the good news. Again, Jesus instructed his disciples to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field. Then he sent them out preach the kingdom of heaven and to heal. The next chapter of Matthew gives insight into his message and his messages. Jesus saw people who needed leadership, and he trained leaders. Jesus saw beyond the felt needs of his contemporaries to their real needs. Jesus told his disciples to pray for workers, then he sent them out as those workers.
We too see people who are harassed and helpless. We may be those people. We long for a Savior, and want God to do something. He has through Jesus. Jesus instructs us to pray for workers to rescue the harassed and helpless. When we pray, let us consider that he may call us to be the rescuers.
God who loves the poor and the helpless, open our eyes to the suffering in the world around us. Give us courage to work for you. Renew our hope and give us healing of body and spirit. Help us to hear your call and to respond as you wish. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This note argues that a dual jurisdictional approach to demand response programming is better suited to mitigate environmental harms than an “either-or” regulatory model. Through an exploration of FERC’s authority over wholesale demand response, state authority over retail-level demand response, and implications for electricity and capacity markets arising out of the Court’s decision in FERC v. EPSA, this note will offer effective legal mechanisms for mitigating environmental costs, while fostering environmental benefits. The next section of this note analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of state and federal regulatory approaches to demand response in isolation.
Based on this assessment, this note suggests the policy mechanisms most conducive to environmentally-conscious electric energy regulation. This note concludes with a model regulatory scheme that utilizes demand response to mitigate global climate change and advance environmental sustainability.

Workload reassignment or course buy-out generally means that a course release has been given so the faculty member can work on an externally funded grant. The corresponding percentage of the person’s appointment is directly charged to the grant account during the term of the buy-out. In effect, the grant “buys” the faculty member’s released time by paying for that portion of their salary so that the equivalent amount of effort can be spent working on the grant.

Stork spread (or butter) and lard until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a deep well in the flour and add the egg, yeast mixture and 250ml warm water. Draw the flour from the edge over the yeast mixture so that it is completely covered. Cover with a clean tea towel and put in a warm place until it erupts like a volcano and nearly doubles in size (about 45-55 minutes).
2. With lightly floured hands, incorporate the sultanas into the mixture, working it just a little until you have smooth dough; don’t knead vigorously as you would bread dough. Divide and shape the dough into 20 balls (weigh them into exact pieces; about 80g is a good size), then roll each one on a lightly floured surface to make a smooth bun. Place the buns in even rows on a large, oiled baking tray (or 2 smaller ones). Cover with a clean tea towel and put in a warm place to rise, until almost doubled in size again (about 25-30 minutes).
3. Preheat the oven to 200 ̊C, gas mark 6. For the crosses, whisk the flour with 80ml water to make a smooth paste and spoon into a piping bag or sandwich bag. Snip a small slit in the end and pipe a line along each row of proved buns, then repeat in the other direction to create crosses. Bake for 35-40 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven, until a rich golden colour.
4. Meanwhile, make the sugar syrup glaze. In a saucepan, mix the sugar with 3 tbsp water and simmer over a low heat until syrupy and all the sugar has dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer the buns to a wire rack, brush over the sugar glaze and leave to cool before serving.

Visit Djoser‘s Step Pyramid temple complex, explore Pharaoh Teti‘s tomb, watch an archaeological dig in progress.
A team of Egyptian experts have discovered the remains of a pyramid which has been covered with sand since the nineteenth dynasty in the necropolis of Saqqara, 20km southeast of Cairo. The announcement was made by Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Anqituities in a communication in which he said that the pyramid is located by the side of the [pyramid of] Pharaoh Teti, the first monarch of the Sixth Dynasty.
Owner of ‘Headless Pyramid‘ identified: here.
The SCA have announced that a team of Egyptian archaeologists have found a part of an ancient avenue of Sphinxes at Saqqara. According to the information released by the SCA the avenue was [m]entioned in Graecoroman manuscripts and other documents which were found near the Serapeum, a nearby funerary complex in which sacred bulls were interred. The avenue dates to the Ptolemaic period and was discovered during recent excavations in that part of Saqqara.

Culture Minister Farouk Hosni said on 23/6/2009 that a group of Egyptian archaeologists have unearthed a number of ushabtis – an ushabti is a funerary figurine placed in a tomb as a substitute for the deceased, should he/she be called upon to do manual labor in the afterlife – and remains of animal bones and birds inside a hole near the Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara: here.

. it was also during this time that many of these Ancient Pyramid objects showed themselves in their Gleaming Colorful and Light Weight Exotic materials as they seemed to just float in mid air in their downward decline and dis-placement.
Each giant Pyramid Structure contained a Mystic Glowing Eye which was a Field of Highly accelerated Plasma Energy roaring of a great power as the Pyramid’s Eye generating it’s steady glow of Light. These Mystic Eye-lets being just one of the Pyramid’s power Facilities, which had become contaminated causing a fall in their accelerated marc of Quantum Frequency. It was such a contamination of Eye-let Plasma Cores and their associated mass core that caused their Worlds to fall from High Celestial places.
Several falling Pyramid Facilities lowered themselves and their attached Land-scape from upper positions to settle richly flourishing soil atop the crust of Earth’s newly evolving surface. Other Facilities with their contaminated Power Facilities settled their Mystical Cities, or mobile and flying crafts in hidden areas throughout the planet and other distant places.
For a period of time all driven Ancient Pyramid Structures which had settled atop this planet remained visible to outside residence of this early evolving rock. Some were seen only temporarily as their gleaming structures and cities passed through visual view of Earth’s reality. This is the era when there were Giants in the land.
One such molded image has been referred to as King Solomons Mine.
and later to be discovered inner mixed with solidified rock minerals.
Hi Evelyn, that is a long comment. Please, on what Egyptological research do you base this?
Your point on “High Celestial places” is a link to discussion on whether space aliens or ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. See here.

24th September 2018: A new scheme launches nationwide today, which is dedicated to celebrating the nation’s most amazing animals.
‘Pet Plaques’ by TrustedHousesitters - the biggest house and pet sitting business in the world - will see green markers attached to houses up and down the country, which commemorate the achievements of our beloved companions. Each plaque gives a brief description of the animal’s achievement, and even features ears to set the new plaques apart from any others.
Commemorative plaques such as the English Heritage blue plaque scheme, have honoured notable men and women for over 150 years by placing a marker on the homes they worked or lived in, but a scheme has never been solely dedicated to animals. The launch of Pet Plaques aims to change this, by giving deserving animals their own place in history.
Walnut’s story warmed the hearts of a nation and quickly made headlines, when his owner, Mark, sent an open invitation for fellow dog lovers to join them on their final walk. From across the country, hundreds of two and four-legged friends travelled to Walnut's favourite beach to walk alongside him and say farewell before he was laid to rest.
TrustedHousesitters was founded in 2010 by Andy and Rachel Peck and is based in Brighton, England. It is now the world’s largest house-sitting business with more five-star reviews than any other travel or pet company on TrustPilot, facilitating more than two million nights of house and pet sitting globally, and saving its members more than £100 million in accommodation and pet care costs since its inception.
Its community, which is nearly half a million strong, is spread across more than 130 countries.

It's two weeks to my first competition of the season and I don't feel as ready as I have in the past. I've been working very hard in the family retail business—I've worked every day the store has been open this year, that's six days per week for four months straight minus a few holidays. The day of the Mt. Tamalpais competition will be the first day off during hours of operation. While I play at least a few minutes every day on a practice chanter—and often only a few minutes—the full set of pipes has been averaging only once or twice per week. I have been really burnt out as a result of work and it's been affecting both my time and inclination to bagpipe. My instructor, Jay Salter, is in grad school this past school year and I've had only a few lessons this year. I have managed to learn a new 2/4 march (Balmoral Highlanders), but again with very little metronome work and a new slow march (Banks of Lochiel a.k.a. Braes of Lochiel)—both of which have been recently added to the band's repertoire. While I've been tempted to learn a new piobaireachd, I've opted to stick with the same one due to time constraints.
On a side note, my grandfather (dad's dad) turned 98 yesterday. Good genes. I'm starting to get into the spirit of competing next week though I haven't piped since last week. (At least a little practice chanter every day though remember.) A sorry state of affairs for getting ready for competition, but if I can drag myself out of bed early enough tomorrow, I'll pipe before work. I really need to get my chops up. (After work piping has been a challenge this past week with all my family and other obligations—Nicholas' Little League games, relative visits, etc.) I bought an iPod Shuffle ($69) with piping in mind and loaded it with a version of my each of competition tunes—ok, yes, there's some other music on there too! 10 days and counting . . .
I was talking to my cousin at work today and told him that we'd have to see how I would do tomorrow as I felt I was playing my 2/4 March worse than I was two weeks before. Hmmm.
One of my first thoughts this morning, waking up when it was still somewhat dark was "why am I doing this?" and "maybe it's getting time to pack it in for competition." And maybe it is. Or maybe I'm just burnt out from work and all the demands on my time right now. Or the fact that I woke up 4-5 times last night knowing I had to get up early!
I was on the road at 7:03 a.m., bound for Marin County. I remembered to take the correct highway this year and it took me through San Francisco proper and onto the Golden Gate Bridge. That bridge is really a sight to behold, it's a behemoth. Traffic was moving well and I arrived at the competition location, Larkspur's Piper Park, at about 8:35 or so. I'm going to have to e-mail the Macintosh Band some clarifications to their on-line directions—there is a short street completely missing and a spot that reads as a right when it should be a left. Regardless, I did manage to get there without asking for directions from an innocent bystander.
A typical view of the registration tent. It was rarely sparse.
I walked around and greeted a number of pipers, including Paul Forrest who was organizing the contest. Weather was nice. Sunny, but not overly hot with a slight breeze.
This games was the first games in probably six years that I've played with a bag cover. Santa Cruz Pipes & Drums plays without covers on almost exclusively L&M hide bags. I've had a really nice cover from bagpipecovers.com for a couple of years and I figured it was time to crack it out. (I had 2-3 positive comments on it.) That and I played with my vest for the first time where I wasn't required to wear it for band. I would have looked pretty spiffy—except I realized hours later that I had forgotten to snug up my tie! Oops.
My first event, piobaireachd, was scheduled at 9:35 at Platform 5 with Colin Berta. Seven pipers signed up and I was to play next to last. I was all warmed up, though I was having a hard time getting the drones to lock in. I had adjusted the chanter tape on E and also taped down F a bit. I really need to get that new chanter reed going. Platform 5 was literally right next to a walking path around the park. After giving the judge my tune, I was about to strike in the pipes just outside the cones on the path when the steward instructed me to stay on the grass. Sure enough there was a mother and child up the path on their way.
I tuned up the pipes as best I could, though I still wasn't 100% happy with them. I'm really going to need some work on the blowing, tuning, chanter combination—and I suspect my chanter reed is still a likely culprit. I can perfectly tune the three drones to each other with no chanter engaged, but once the chanter enters the equation, it's more difficult.
I played the tune solidly, no mistakes—no wandering off the tune, no chokes, etc. and also slowed down at the end of phrases for expression. Aside from the tuning not being exactly where I wanted it to be, I was satisfied with my performance.
in trying to blow Low A to suit though.
to get pipes settled. Good show.
I have to admit, I was a touch disappointed with 3rd—heck, I took 1st at Mt. Tam last year. But, since I played well, I was happy enough. I guess I should have asked Colin at the workshop after the competition what exactly knocked me down, but seems tuning was probably the difference. Walt Innes (who couldn't make it to Mt. Tam last year) took 2nd. Sean Campbell took 5th Place.
Sean Campbell gets a post-performance chat with Fritz Hoffman on the finer aspects of Slow March.
The next event was the Slow March. Fritz Hoffman, who judged my piobaireachd last year, was at Platform 3 for my 10:38 time. I was to play next to last out of the sixteen pipers who signed up. The routine was similar to the piobaireachd. Tuned, not super happy, but it was the best I could do at the time. I played the tune, no mistakes. Fritz is one of those judges who keeps a practice chanter (PC) at his table to point out areas for improvement in the competitor's performance tune. The PC didn't come out like last year. We did talk about my website and my drone sound and make of pipes for about a minute, but that was it.
Walt Innes and I hung out for a while waiting for the piobaireachd and slow march results.
making you change your blowing to compensate.
T+E: Very nice fingers. Sometimes feeling you were careful.
[X] Level 4: The competitor has demonstrated proficiency likely to be in the upper quartile of this grade level.
From the comment about straying from the beat, one could say I was playing the tune more as a slow air than a slow march. I was happy enough with 3rd in the slow march, it was an improvement over 5th last year. That's me, Mr. Cut-Throat Competitor, happy with something other than 1st place. (If you've read my previous journals you know I'm being facetious about being cut-throat!) Sean Campbell took 2nd and Walt Innes took 4th place—now, this set up an interesting dynamic. The first place winner in piobaireachd didn't place in the slow march and vice versa. This meant that going into the final event, the 2/4 March, only Sean, Walt, and I had a chance to win the Grade IV aggregate medal. The three of us laughed about it a bit. We see each other every year on the "circuit," so it's not like we're strangers.
Bill Merriman surrounded by a gaggle of pipers. Off in the distance to the left is a soccer game. Later in the day, it was supplanted by a cricket game. Yes, cricket!
After Fritz' comment on the upper hand being sharp, I knew I was going to have to play around with the chanter tuning. I tried pulling the reed out of bit to drop the top hand, but it made the High-A even flatter than it was already, so that was ruled out. I pushed the reed back in and taped the holes down a bit more as needed.
A piper by the name of Casey Young introduced himself and said some nice things about this website. Casey won the Slow March and later took 4th in the 2/4 March. I had a few of other pipers stop me to say "thanks" or otherwise say positive things about BagpipeJourney.com. That's always fun.
Kip Morais finally arrived (he'd skipped piobaireachd)—with very long curly locks—I didn't recognize him at first! He was a bit unsure of how he would do as this was his first competition in Grade III. He'd competed in Bakersfield on April 1st in Grade IV, but judge Aaron Shaw (of the Wicked Tinkers) told him he should get out of Grade IV and move up. Kip later went on to take a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the events he entered. Yes, he doesn't belong in Grade IV! And speaking of advancing pipers, Amanda Gifford, who cleaned up in Grade IV last year, is also cleaning up in Grade III this year. She took three first places out of four events and won Grade III aggregate. Her dad, Gary Gifford, told me via e-mail a couple weeks ago that Amanda had also taken aggregate at a contest earlier this year.
Ken Sutherland enjoys his umbrella while judging a Grade II event. Bill Merriman and student await their turn.
Ken Sutherland was judging the 2/4 March at Platform 3. I was scheduled to play at 1:05, but things were running a few minutes ahead. I gave the judge my tune, struck in, checked the tuning and away I went. And away I did go. Too fast! I can play this particular tune on a PC reasonably well quickly, but the pipes are a different animal, the anatomics are different. Hmmm, just occurred to me. I wonder if it would help to practice playing a PC while squeezing/hold a pillow with your left arm. I wonder if anyone has ever tried that—of course, you could always just use a goose. (For the uninitiated, a goose is a pipe bag hooked up to the bottom half of a practice chanter.) Anyway, the technique was hit or miss. Some was good, some was bad—periodic overlapping doublings, crushed this and that. I did stay on the tune and had no chokes. Ken invited me over to his table. I volunteered that I'd played it too fast. He commented that the drones sounded nice, if not tuned that well. I told him what I believe the make to be of my drones as well as the brand of drone reeds. On a positive note, he said my tempo stayed even throughout. Then out came the PC. He played the first line of the tune correctly a bit slower then demonstrated an exaggerated version of how I had played it, flubs and all. He also went over the third part.
Drat. I'd really messed that up in terms of technique. It was so subpar compared to how I'd practiced it. Kip and his mother asked how I thought it went. I told them I'd played it too fast and messed up the embellishments as a result. They said it sounded pretty good from their vantage point—about thirty to forty feet away. I said, "It'd take a miracle to pull a placing out of that." They seemed to think my performance was better than a number of others that they had heard. Well, we'd just have to see. It wouldn't be long, since I was last to play.
Pipes sound very nice - but not tuned well.
made your technique fall apart somewhat.
competition that isn't so demanding.
Well, I did manage to eke out a fifth. That would almost assuredly garner me the Aggregate Prize—and yes, it did. Better than a kick in the head though I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a worthy gold medal performance in 2/4 March!
The final standings on the schedule. Paul Forrest has his hand poised and ready to take down the easel.
They'd highlighed the aggregate winners for pipers and drummers in their respective grades.
At just about 5 p.m., just in time for Saturday rush hour traffic, I was on the road headed back to Santa Cruz. I was able to drive very, very slow—occasionally stopped—over the Golden Gate. Traffic sped up once I was through San Francisco and onto 280 South. I was home about 10 minutes to 7 p.m.—a long 12 hours.
So for the day, I wish I could say that I'm satisfied, but truth be told, there's work to do. I could pat myself on the back for the Aggregate, but I'm capable of better. The big work is tuning. And I really need do need to get a new chanter reed working. I also need to bite the bullet and start marching for the 2/4 in competition.
Onward and upward. I hope!

Anime Crave •View topic - will it be full of fail?
will it be full of fail?
new rurouni kenshin anime. will it be as full of fail as the last arc?
idk, I kind of wanna see it, but I dont.
if they rework the entire anime, it will be amazing. if they just do the revenge arc from the manga, i'll be happy, I don't see how they could $!$! this up. I mean, I know they could but, RK is held very dear to the hearts of the older anime fans. Samurai X I think is still held as the best anime ever made by many. If they rework the anime all together, I hope they mature it up a smidge. Drop the filler characters that were made to make it more kid friendly, like the doctors two girls. They were cute and all but ultimately not really meant to be in it.
also... I am going to probably find my manga of it somewhere and read through it again. I never finished the first time around.

Italian bond yields spiked on Thursday amid concerns that tax cuts and welfare spending proposed by the country’s ruling coalition could worsen its debt situation. The Italian/German bond yield spread reached its widest since 2013 as a result.
“It is a bit of stretch to attribute all the euro’s woes to turbulence in emerging market currencies like the Turkish lira and the Argentine peso,” said Daisuke Karakama, chief market economist at Mizuho Bank.
“That said, the prospect for emerging currencies remain bleak overall and will continue to fan risk aversion. And the euro is not a currency that the market gravitates towards in times of ‘risk off’,” Karakama added.
Argentina’s peso lost nearly one-fifth of its value on Thursday and fell to a record low versus the dollar.
The peso has slid as investors’ faith in President Mauricio’s ability to tackle the economic crisis his country faces has evaporated. A huge hike in interest rates from Argentina’s central bank did little to arrest the peso’s fall.
China’s yuan was about 0.15 percent firmer in onshore trade at 6.8344 per dollar after shedding 0.35 percent the previous day.

Shailesh Deshpande is a Virginia Tech grad who lost his fight to stay after working for several U.S. consulting firms.
New York (CNNMoney) - An immigration system overhaul might finally address a growing problem: America's brain drain.
Smart foreigners who study at U.S. universities - often at taxpayer expense through scholarships - face a tough fight after graduation if they want to stay in the country.
Many share the experience of Shailesh Deshpande, who lost his fight to stay after graduating from Virginia Tech. He returned home to India and is now launching a company there.
"Don't hate me when I take jobs away from U.S. shores," he said. "Blame your government for it."
There's fear U.S. immigration laws could cripple the nation's economic growth. That's why a group of senators this week suggested creating a fast track to award green cards to foreign students in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math).
The current system sets quotas that limit individual countries to no more than 7% of all green cards. That makes it harder for applicants from India or China, compared to applicants from Belgium or Iceland.
Immigrants make up a surprisingly large share of STEM students in Master's and Ph.D programs: more than 40%. The sheer number has ballooned to 205,600 students as of 2011, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement records.
Although federal officials say it's difficult to accurately track how many of them leave, companies and colleges that interact with foreign students say they are increasingly being driven out of the country.
The current system sets quotas that limit individual countries to no more than 7% of all green cards. So, the current system would keep a Pakistani who is doing a masters in Islamic studies but deport a Chinese or Indian who got a Ph.D. in engineering. Why keep so many Muslims who only increase the cost of security? Ludicrous.
You are such a smart individual! 🙂 I am amazed!! 1. A Pakistani who gets Masters in Islamic Studies will not get job in the US job Market, therefore he can not apply for Green Card through job. 2. International Students, who pays a ton to go to college here almost never studies subject like Islamic/Christian/Jewish/Hindu Studies in college, they get degrees in STEM field and that is true for stduent from any countries including Pakistanins. 3. US is not the best place to study Islamic Studies, it is the best place to study Science/Technology/Business etc. I would suggest you to have some brain transpplant to increase the volume and quality of it in your head, I assure you you will be benefitted. And please stop hating Muslims, there are good people, bad people, average people among people from Muslim countries just like like any other religion. Thanks.
My opinion on gun comtroll is that, I think people should be able to have guns, because some people go out hunting,then bring home a bird or something to eat, other people have guns for protection.
I think that if we take out the guns all together, murder and massacre will go down but like drugs, if they are made illegal it might get out of control and maybe increase. I think it really depends on who is on which side and how strongly they feel and if it's enough to take out their anger out on the public.

Ukraine is on the brink of civil war, Vladimir Putin has said, and he should know because the country is already in the midst of a covert intelligence war. Over the weekend, CIA director John Brennan travelled to Kiev, nobody knows exactly why, but some speculate that he intends to open US intelligence resources to Ukrainian leaders about real-time Russian military maneuvers. The US has, thus far, refrained from sharing such knowledge because Moscow is believed to have penetrated much of Ukraine’s communications systems – and Washington isn’t about to hand over its surveillance secrets to the Russians.
If you have any doubts that the battle is raging on the ‘covert ops’ front just consider today’s events in Pcholkino where Ukrainian soldiers from the 25th Airborn Division handed over their weapons and APC’s to pro-Russian militiamen and pretty much surrendered. The Ukrainian commander was quoted as saying “they’ve captured us and are using dirty tricks”. This is the kind of morale-busting incident that can spread quickly. It doesn’t happen spontaneously and it often begins with mixed messages, literally - messages purporting to come from the chain of command but actually originate from the enemy’s dirty tricks department.
So what kind of conversations did Brennan have during his visit? There’s no way of knowing for sure of course. But, according to my sources, and based on my experience of reporting on the Russian invasion of Georgia, the US-Ukraine information exchange would go a lot further than simply tracking numbers and motions of Russian tanks and soldiers. The operative term here is ‘non-lethal’ help – that remains Washington’s official position. But in today’s digital and virtual battlefield, the game can be over before the first shot gets fired. And if Moscow’s mastery over the digital domain can be countered, Putin might think twice about risking the expensive hardware that he has invested billions in upgrading since the Georgian war.
In that conflict, the US refused to sell air-cover missiles (Manpads) to Tbilisi while the Israelis deactivated the ones they’d sold after Putin threatened them with retaliation by selling Hezbollah comparable weapons. So Georgia was left with the Ukraine-made missiles it had purchased, which proved effective but not numerous enough. The Russians have undoubtedly rectified that vulnerability, especially as they and Ukraine share the same weapons systems. In effect, Russian warplanes have likely found ways to jam targeting vectors or to create illusory electronic clusters to decoy the manpads.
So Brennan might have shared data on how to get past the jamming. The same kind of forensic struggle applies to aerial combat, a rare thing these days but one that may become decisive if ground-based missiles prove ineffectual. Since the Russians can hack into any kind of long-distance chatter about such details between the US and Kiev, Brennan probably had to physically hand them over to his Ukrainian interlocutors. That is, to fully vetted individuals, because as we’ve seen repeatedly during the current crisis, not least in the Maidan, Russian spies masquerading as Ukrainian patriots are not uncommon. Ukraine’s politicians and military personnel (though not nearly as much) have a long history of divided loyalties.
Digital conflict, by its very nature, is a shadow conflict and therefore fundamentally psychological. If you lose touch with central command or you suspect the enemy is messing with your communications, you become isolated. You fire at your own side, shoot down your warplanes. In fact, you’re likely to stop shooting altogether, out of confusion and paralysis, as happened in some military bases in Georgia. And now is happening in Ukraine. You don’t know if the coded messages telling you to refrain from firing are a feint or genuine. In a modern war between two sides with hardware i.e. not a guerilla war, line-of-sight engagements occur less often than you’d think. Tanks and planes and artillery get knocked out from afar. Digital certainty is everything. The absence of it spells disaster.
So Brennan needed to reassure his hosts above all on that matter. Or perhaps vice-versa. They might need to reassure the US that Ukraine’s military position is not hopeless. If the US assessed the Ukrainian armed forces as too electronically compromised to use heavy weapons systems, then Washington might discourage a confrontation, might refuse to help in crucial ways, as happened in Georgia. Or Washington might suggest alternate methodologies, low-tech or asymmetrical alternatives, to create enough confusion or humiliation as to tarnish Putin’s popularity. The Russian side has clearly initiated such tactics already. Brennan will try to shore up the security of Ukraine’s military signals systems. He will suggest ways to retaliate in kind by hacking into the pro-Moscow militia’s comms.
To get an idea of how crucial is this stage of the confrontation, just witness how images of Ukrainian armored vehicles now driven by militias have gone global. Moscow will trumpet the news, claiming that even Ukrainian soldiers don’t want to fight, that the US is stoking artificial hatred. The government in Kiev will find itself snookered - either to admit that its signals channels are hopelessly compromised and therefore cannot mount a convincing military operation or that such incidents are spontaneous but limited. A tough position either way. One thing is certain, the war has begun.

The Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning (hereafter referred to as “Humber” or “the College”) is committed to measuring students’ perceptions of their learning experience. The Student Feedback Questionnaire (hereafter referred to as “the SFQ”) is an instrument used on a regular basis to collect such data.
The SFQ is normally administered to each course section of all programs in every semester.
The SFQ is normally administered in all course programs, offered during the Fall, Winter and Spring/Summer semesters. For Continuing Education, normally, credit courses of 24 hours of instruction or more will be included. Other courses may be added at the discretion of the Academic Administrators.
Under the direction of the Vice President Academic, SFQ data will be compiled and the information returned to the Vice President Academic, the Dean and each professor.
Each year the Vice President Academic and the Dean of each school will review faculty whose performance falls short of college expectations, discuss development plans, and consider other interventions. Exemplary faculty performance will also be identified.
SFQ data will be used in the program review process as part of the assessment of student satisfaction.

Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius has a bruised right shoulder, ending his stint in the World Baseball Classic and leaving his status for Opening Day in doubt.
New York manager Joe Girardi didn’t put on a timetable on a return, saying only, “He’s going to be sidelined for a bit.” The Yankees start the regular season April 2 at Tampa Bay.
Gregorius had an MRI exam in Los Angeles on Sunday. He was returning to the Yankees’ spring training complex in Tampa and will be re-evaluated by team doctors.
Gregorius is among a handful of major-league players to leave their WBC team because of injuries.
Miami third baseman Martin Prado strained his hamstring while playing for Venezuela and returned to the Marlins. All-Star catcher Salvador Perez of the Royals injured his knee in a home-plate collision and also left the Venezuelan team.
Gregorius, 27, hit .276 with 20 home runs and 70 RBIs last season.
Low Class A for Tebow: Tim Tebow’s next team will be the Columbia Fireflies. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback will start the regular season with the Mets’ low Class A club in South Carolina.
Tebow, 29, has with four hits in 17 at-bats for the Mets in spring training. The outfielder will wear his football number, No. 15, with the Fireflies.
Spring training highlights: Kyle Kendrick continued his bid for a spot in the depleted Boston rotation by working five innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs while striking out four in a 7-4 defeat of the Orioles. ... Miami starter Stephen Fife worked four scoreless innings, lowering his spring ERA to 1.50 as the Marlins beat the Braves 9-3. ... Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez pitched four scoreless innings in the Tigers’ 5-1 victory over the Mets. ... Matt Holliday hit a two-run homer and Brett Gardner had a two-run single for the Yankees, who beat Washington 9-3.
Briefly: Toronto’s Josh Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP, made his spring debut in an 8-2 loss to the Twins, going 0-for-2 with a walk in his first game since injuring his right calf more than a month ago. Jays starter Francisco Liriano struck out 10 in 42/3 innings. ... The Royals named Nate Karns their fifth starter. ... The Reds chose newcomer Scott Feldman to start on Opening Day against the Phillies.

The global economy opens opportunities and risks for human resource managers.
Globalization has had profound effects on human resource management. International assignments, outsourcing, coping with legal and cultural differences and managing talent from foreign countries all pose challenges as globalization continues to shrink the world. Small businesses are as affected by these developments as much as any multinational, since any business is only as good as its employees.
When you consider how labor markets have evolved, predicting future talent requirements is a critical challenge companies face. Identifying and hiring talented employees who can learn new skills as workplace requirements change is a daunting task. Your human resources manager may not be best positioned to predict future needs, particularly if you or one of your managers has a better sense of what your business needs to grow. Whether you expand your business overseas or employ talent from abroad at your home office, globalization has widened the pool of talent for you to choose from.
In a never-ending quest to stay competitive, small businesses must embrace technology as well as the employees who understand it. The small business must explore new ways to train employees, looking at training as an investment rather than an expense. When integrating international workers into your workplace, look for ways to engage employees on a continuing basis. In addition to traditional seminars and continuing education, employees should be encouraged to participate in real-time training with expert consultants – many from abroad – to stay abreast of industry trends.
On the surface it sounds exotic – an extended assignment in a foreign country with the opportunity to work with an international division of your company. But all is not necessarily as smooth as it would seem. Integrating knowledge and corporate practices with international workers can be a difficult task. When your employees return from overseas assignments, they may have a different perspective on business than the home office. This scenario raises questions for human resource management who must integrate international assignments into talent management and development programs. Weighing overseas assignments versus hiring local talent is an issue that must be resolved.
Outsourcing is an increasingly common way for a small or medium-size enterprise to leverage its human resource requirements in a global market. The pool of contract workers is deep with talent and includes freelancers in virtually every field, from virtual assistants to highly technical professionals. If you choose to outsource your work, plan carefully. Some sites provide safeguards to protect both parties, but there are no guarantees. The low bidder on your project may lack the skills you need, and languages barriers and cultural differences can pose problems. Nevertheless, globalization has created an opportunity for containing human resource costs while still getting the job done.

Bahiyyih Hardacre (Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics, UCLA, 2015) is Assistant Professor in the M.A. in TESOL Program in the division of Applied and Advanced Studies in Education at the Charter College of Education, at California State University, Los Angeles. She has work experience both in the U.S. and abroad. Her experience abroad includes English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching in Brazil for 12 years at American and British binational centers and at primary and secondary schools. During that time she also worked as a certified oral examiner and rater for the University of Cambridge and Michigan ESOL proficiency exams. She has lived in the United States for the past 11 years, and here she has worked as a director of education conducting teacher training at an English as a second language (ESL) school, and taught international students in credit and non-credit programs at the University of California, Los Angeles and at Santa Monica College. Some of her current professional service includes being part of the CATESOL Board of Directors (California and Nevada Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) in the role of University Level Chair, and Editor-in-Chief for the Issues in Applied Linguistics journal.
Among her research interests are language assessment and neurobiology of language learning and use. More specifically, she is particularly interested in the role of the autonomic nervous system in social engagement behaviors during face-to-face interactions in first and second language production. She makes use of psychophysiological and behavioral data in multimodal discourse analysis in order to study language use during communicative events. Communicative behaviors during conversation involve cooperative organization of human language and action, but are also influenced by psychological individual differences and neurophysiological biomarkers such as heart rate variability. Accounting for individual psychophysiological characteristics of the co-participants engaged in a communicaitve event can expand our understanding of linguistic embodiment during such interactions.

Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) launches new label BLKRTZ with this major change in direction. Drawn and Quartered extends the meditative side of his output much deeper into the cosmos than ever. Perennially saddled with Rhythm and Sound comparisons, the Berlin-residing Monteith simply embraces them with a quartet of long-form tech dub spread out over a double vinyl package (a quintet in its digital format). Monteith recombines what could be overly familiar elements into thrillingly deep listening. By now, it's no surprise to hear vintage analogia spewing out steampunk-ish takes on dub, but Deadbeat ensures that each song maintains a reason to venture far beyond ten minutes. Minimalism is a given, but each track has the feel of a live performance. The rhythm of "First Quarter" may be the most traditionally dubwise, with a riddim that would've sounded great in his Scape days. "Second Quarter" makes an argument for the dance floor. "Third Quarter (the Vampire of Mumbai)" is scratchy and sumptuous ambience. "Fourth Quarter" is a near-steppers groove with an undulating bass line that speaks to Detroit. And stick around for the horn break in "Plateau Quarter," released only on the album's digital version; it's one of the all time highlights of Deadbeat's extensive catalog, sounding impossibly deep.
Tell me about the new label.
It's something I've had in mind for a while now. It just so happened that when I completed work on this record I was talking with the Kompakt guys, whom I'd talked to previously about starting a label, and they were asking when it was going to happen. The economic environment right now doesn't make a lot of sense, but to have an outlet and not worry about anyone else's release schedule just makes sense.
This is kind of a concept album divided into quarters. How did it come about?

Last week I read news about a mysterious Nazi gold train found in Poland. Here is one of the articles about it.
This news attracted my attention as I just finished reading a novel about an Hungarian Gold train which I really enjoyed.
The novel it’s called “Love and Treasure” by Ayelet Waldman, written in 2014.
It’s a very captivating novel full of history and romance about three men and three women in three different eras.

One of the oddities I find in today’s Glenn Beck–Sarah Palin march on Washington is their official roles as members of the media. Granted, neither of them has the word reporter in their job title, and therefore they have a little more leniency as a Correspondent and the host of a program that calls itself “The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.” Still the word “truth” appears a lot when Tea Party etc. al leaders are speaking. Yet this movement tells a truth that belongs to a minority of Americans. It’s a homogeneous reality that is vanishing as fast as McMansions in the exurbs. My life is very different from the lives of Palin and Beck and most of their followers. That doesn’t make my existence any less true, or my experiences any less real.
Members of the media should return to covering rally’s instead of organizing them. Owners of media publications have an obligation to ensure that standards of professionalism are upheld by all–even correspondents. I’m not going to dig into the Tea Party message here, because I cherish the First Amendment and the power it gives people to make asses out of themselves. But I will say this: it is a public responsibility to hold the press accountable for the stories they report on (or choose not to). Perhaps, even more important than that, we are the ones responsible for telling our own truths. Saying them loud. Believing them even when they are disagreeable. And making sure they are heard–especially by those that may disagree.
Here’s the caveat: this also means listing to people who don’t agree with you. If we are ever going to stop the fracturing that’s taken place in the US over the last decade, we have to be willing to bend a little bit. Before we break.
i agree. i feel like the center-left is always the ones bending though. to the point that its pathetic. you cant compromise with someone that wont budge on the other side. its driving me crazy and makes me want to take and stand and leave no room for compromise. even though i know thats the wrong place to start….
It’s one of the odd bonuses of having a conservative family… you can practice having these conversations and they still have to like you afterwards. Definitely not an easy time to get anything done though.

and I have not yet had a moment to breathe.
and yet some of the events have once again convinced me that the universe knows better than I.
but i really need some help, (those of you who know me well probably know that I do not like to ever ask for help), but i am trying to working on that.
and so, I need to ask you to send me some good energy right now. I could really use it. in the form of a simple thought or some extra love if you have it lying around.
know that it will be most appreciated. i will take a moment right now to breathe be grateful for everything that i have, sometimes it’s enough just to stop and think about that. I feel my tense muscles relax a bit just writing that.
p.s. my access to internet is limited so know that if you write I may take a while to respond, (I write currently from a cafe on 4th street).
a. I have been packing up everything I own so that it fits in the car.
b. I’ve been finishing a book.
c. I’m rebelling a bit.
d. I’ve been living in the world more.
e. I have not felt the call to work in this medium.
f. I’ve been hunting in the wilds of the amazon, and was briefly kidnapped by a unidentified tribe of natives.
So the packing is almost complete, goodbye dinners have been had, and within a few days we will begin our journey east into the unknown. I can say honestly and with a sense of calm that I have no idea what the next year will bring. What I know for sure is that I have two book projects to finish, we have a fantastic apartment in Troy (on a street that feels like victorian england), I will spend my time exploring New England, enjoying the fall and the colors and the landscape (oh lakes and ponds how I have missed you). I will read and read and read, (once the books are done), find fireplaces with large couches, drink tea, and eat lots of healthy food. I may take a course or teach one. I will add some color to my new town. I will grow in new and sometimes challenging ways. And I will try to remain open to whatever the universe brings my way, (even though it may not always be comfortable.
no need to worry about what comes next.

Myocardial T1 mapping and extracellular volume quantification: an overview of technical and biological confounders.
Novel tissue biomarkers based on the spin-lattice relaxation time T1, a fundamental property in the theory of magnetic resonance physics, have emerged as a new approach for myocardial tissue characterization with many validated clinical applications. This article is intended as an overview of the physical and physiological mechanisms underlying the interpretation and the accuracy of any practical measurement of T1, or derived biomarkers such as extravascular volume fraction, and also includes a discussion of potential pitfalls. Numerous caveats und knowledge gaps related to the precise interpretation of T1-based biomarkers remain, which are being addressed incrementally through ongoing research. Equally important, further careful standardization will pave the way for a wider clinical translation of these novel T1-based biomarkers of tissue remodeling, which have been well validated for their sensitivity to pathophysiological changes, though for the most part in single-center studies.

The first few months after neurological insult such as spinal cord injury (SCI) or stroke, known as the acute stage, are the most critical to recovery. We propose that acquiring data during therapy, measuring both energy (effort) and performance, will more accurately predict clinical outcomes compared to initial level of impairment. Our goal is to examine how much and how well patients perform gait therapy in the acute phase by unobtrusively measuring 3D gait kinematics of patients throughout the entire therapy session over a total of 15 sessions. The results of this study will produce a far more comprehensive biomarker during acute therapy than previously attempted, as it monitors the entire therapy experience.

I really couldn’t be prouder of what you’re about to see, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, every time I watch it.
primarily about family: about what it means to us, even when it’s imperfect, which it has to be, because we are all of us imperfect. The original seven Harry Potter books told a story about love, the absence of it and the need for it. Through the work I’ve been privileged to do with Lumos over the past decade, I’ve come to have a new understanding of why those of us with imperfect families have far better chances of surviving this difficult world than those who don’t.
Rowling then gave statistics on the plight of the eight million children currently institutionalized around the world, including the fact that 80% of them have at least one living parent. Many of these children are in institutions and not with their families due to poverty. These children have been proven to be at greater risk for prostitution, suicide, and criminal activity later in life.
Children need, deserve, and have a right to families. Thank you, from everyone at Lumos, for helping us achieve our ambition of bringing eight million children back into the light. It is, to paraphrase Albus Dumbledore, not easy, but it is right.
You can read the entire speech and learn more about Lumos here.
In addition, Rowling posed for a photo with the cast, all of whom were dressed in special-edition Lumos T-shirts. You can purchase a T-shirt in support of Lumos as well at this link, but only until October 3!

On March 12, 2014 on our trip back to the states, we stopped at Allende and processed out the car. The lady had us remove the sticker from the window and return it with the paper it came with, and we continued on our trip.
It has been a couple of months and we have not yet been credited with the $400 deposit we made before taking the car into Mexico in September of 2013.
She told us the refund should only take about 6 to 8 days.
Has this ever happened to anyone and if so, how did you go about getting your refund?
We will be driving back to PV in about 3 more months and could sure use the money to get the next sticker.
It's a complex issue designed as a "gotcha" I think. If you came in on a FMM for 180 days, or less, and your TIP gave you 180 days you should have received your deposit as I understand it.
Another variation is; I came in on a new Temporal approval and they gave me only 30 days on the TIP, I was required to notify Aduana 15 days after arriving, it took nearly a month to get the actual Temporal and by that time I forgot about notifying Aduana, so my $300 was/is toast. I was in Spencers the other day getting the Aduana approved paperwork I should have got last Fall as I'll be going to TX in a few weeks and it's easier to just hand them paper if stopped.
According to Spencers office if I had notified Aduana as soon as I got the Temporal I'd probably get the deposit back, as it is - "gotcha".
Did you count your days?
Did you call your CC company?
Did they give you a receipt for cancelling the TIP? Without that your car could still be on their computers as still being in Mexico.

My cat, Catherine (a.k.a. Cat the cat), is a cat's cat. She likes: naps, knocking small objects off of tables, sitting in piles of clean laundry, and the Red Dot. She does not like: vacuum cleaners, wearing tiny costumes long enough for me to take even one picture, "weight management" cat food, and The Red Dot (it's complicated). So this whole #TrumpYourCat meme—in which people brush out clumps of their cats' fur, smoosh the clumps into shapes resembling tiny Donald Trump comb-overs, and place said tiny Donald Trump comb-overs atop their cats' heads—seemed like a no-go. And yet! I tried to get Cat the cat to cooperate anyway. Here's a play-by-play of how she reacted. "Is that...a comb?" "That looks like a comb." "Are you...trying to brush me? Oh HELL no." "Mine. My comb now. Go. Leave us." We eventually reached a compromise. Anyway! Here are some cats who are not jerks and who are all too happy to do their best Donald Trump impressions.

MARTIN FELDSTEIN, an economic adviser to Republican presidential candidate George Bush, was asked an awkward question: How long could Mr. Bush, if elected president, put off raising taxes to deal with the federal budget deficit? Good question, said the Harvard economics professor, who is head of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Smiling, he suggested, ``Watch my lips.'' He closed them tight.
The audience laughed, knowing that with his present partisan role, Dr. Feldstein didn't regard it as politic to give an answer. When Feldstein was chairman of President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, however, he fought for tax increases to remedy the deficit.
Feldstein has long argued that the United States dollar would have to fall further on the foreign-exchange markets to cure the international payments imbalance. Earlier this year, though, the dollar strengthened decidedly against the West German mark and Japanese yen. That was based, Feldstein said, on the mistaken view of foreign-exchange traders that progress in reducing the trade deficit meant the dollar problem was solved and the Group of Seven industrial nations could maintain current rates.
But in the last few weeks, the dollar has tumbled again, and Feldstein jokes, ``I can hold my head up with greater pride.'' A dollar now costs 126 yen instead of 137 yen. He figures that over the next few years the dollar must weaken to about 100 yen to restore balance.
Overall, he says, the dollar needs a real decline of 15 percent against a basket of foreign currencies, plus a drop of 10 percent or so to offset inflation, which is faster in the US than among its key trading partners. Feldstein was speaking at the NBER's annual research conference in New York.
Richard Freeman, another Harvard economics professor, reported on research by him and about 20 others in the US, Canada, and Australia on the impact of immigration and trade on the labor market.
One significant finding was that the number of illegal immigrants in the US is about 3 million today. This is far less than various guesses of 5 to 12 million published in the press. Dr. Freeman calculated the estimate with new Census Bureau statistics on the number of deaths in the US of those born in Mexico, plus births of those with parents born in Mexico. This was refined by demographic methods to obtain the total number of those of Mexican origin. Then the number of legally admitted immigrants was subtracted to give the illegal Mexican immigrants. Reckoning that Mexicans make up about 85 percent of illegal immigrants, this number was then enlarged to get the total for illegal immigrants.
Another key finding was that illegal immigrants do not depress the wages of Americans - contrary to widespread assumptions. Though 80 percent of immigrants are concentrated in six cities (New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco) and make up more than 6.2 percent of the total population, the study found, even the earnings of young native Hispanics and blacks with less than a high school education are not harmed.
That is not the case, however, for recent immigrants. Their earnings are depressed about 2.5 to 3 percent. Those immigrants here longer than five years aren't hurt much.
But unlike immigrants, imports can hit the wages and jobs of American workers. Some domestic producers ``got wiped out,'' Freeman said.

On today's show we marked the passing of the Chef of the Century, the great Joel Robuchon. At the time of his death he still held 30 Michelin stars!
Farming is a tough business sometimes, and chef at Annam and Pho Nom Jerry Mai joined us to talk about one of their suppliers who are having some hard times after a couple of difficult seasons. The folks at Angelica's Organic Farm in Glenlyon supply many restaurants around town, and those restaurants are arranging a lunch at Annam on Sunday August 19 with all proceeds going to the supplier.
We had a market report from John at the Queen Vic.
To finish today's show we talked about kitchen hygiene basics with Dr Angie Bone from the Department of Health and Human Services. Wash your hands people! For at least 20 seconds each time!

I haven’t read any Charco books yet Stu, but they definitely sound worth exploring.
Liked this book very much and wouldn’t be surprised to see it on the Man Booker International longlist (a month from now). However, there is another Charco title I preferred, The Distance Between Us.
I really enjoyed this too, and was particularly pleased that he came to Edinburgh to launch it. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see this on the Man Booker International long list, though I also loved Charco’s Fish Soup.
I am looking forward to reading this as Charco Press kindly sent me a review copy, and your post is so enticing. Adoption is a relevant theme in my family, and the quote you transcribed here is quite piercing. This will be a difficult, I think, but important read for me.

As a convenience to library patrons, the MSU and University of Alabama libraries have established a reciprocal agreement that allows students, faculty and staff to borrow materials from each institution. Circulation policies are set by each institution, but MSU library patrons may show valid college identification and be allowed to check out materials from several libraries on the Tuscaloosa campus, said Stephen Cunetto, system administrator for the MSU Libraries. Included are the institutions anchor library, the Amelia Gayle Gorgas, as well as the Angelo Bruno business library, the McLure education library, and the Eric and Sarah Rodgers library for science and engineering. Each library system ensures compliance with its own policies and collects any fines owed, Cunetto added.

"Raising public awareness to the dangers of burning oil!"
Stop burning oil, mankind doesn't need to burn anymore. I mean I know it won't happen over night, but we really need to reduce consumption, so nature can begin to heal itself.
There are many changes that need to be made in the people around the world, but that change starts at home, on an individual level. If you knock one electron out of an atom, the atom becomes something else. Liken this to a fad, one person does something different or unique, and those around him like what's happening, and join in. Sooner or later everyone is doing it. Dreamers have changed the world for the better many times over, throughout history, so come and dream with me. Let go of your friends me, myself, and I. This was the point of Jesus' message.
Skin cancer is cause from over exposure to the harmful radiation from the sun. Ozone gases deflect much of the radiation that is harmful to mankind, and life on the planet.
Imagine not cutting down trees, and rainforests for paper, and lumber. There is an excellent alternative, hemp. It can be used for paper, clothing, FUEL, and building materials. Who is responsible for the propaganda? The oil companies had a lot to do with it. Why? Did you know that cars can be run on hemp oil? www.hempcar.com. The most useful, and can be quite abundant natural resource is being stomped out for profit. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall see God. Did you know that smoking pot, could end war?
Take a look at this too!
About Me Very honest, and trustworthy. I am hardworking, and motivated to succeed at whatever I'm doing. I'm down to earth, and very easy to get along with, although I can be a bit stubborn at times.
Wild Fact About Me I know it may sound crazy, but I left Detroit and a business of my own to ride around the country on a bicycle, talking to people about loving one another, and energy.
My Philosophy Christianity is not what it was intended to be, many have BEEN deceived.
What Gives Me Hope New born children, people standing together doing what's right, and teachers who have a true passion for what they do.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Fight to end oil consumption, and lose the ban on Hemp. (It can be used for many things, from building materials, to clothing, and an alternative renewable fuel source).
What/who changed my life and why Jesus, he taught us how to forgive, and be forgiven, as well as the value of sharing and he set the standard for what can be considered 'right' living.
Quotation I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

[[Choibacco|Prime Minister Choibacco]] [[Hapes Consortium|of the Hapes Consortium]] declared that Wookiees across the galaxy were outraged by Seinwill's actions. Declaring that Seinwill's actions were a stain on the pride of wookiees, Choibacca decreed that Seinwill was now an outcast from Wookiee society. Seinwill could never return to his homeworld of [[Kashyyyk]] again.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020815134054/http://www.swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=479 GNS: "Dargon's Escape" - Year 3 Day 201] (Archived)</ref> After Yotam was rescued by rebel agents and his safety assured, the United Trade Federation declared Seinwill an "enemy of the people." Bounty hunters were dispatched to hunt him down and kill him. Speaking at the Great Summit of the United Trade Federation, Yotam forgave Seinwill and called for compassion, understanding and peace. However, Serj continued his terrorist activities, murdering both Rebels and Imperials. In light of Seinwill's continued violence, Dargon declared him to be an enemy of the people and signed Seinwill's death warrant. During this period, Seinwill became the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. Shortly thereafter, Seinwill fled to Coruscant and attempted to recruit disillusioned Imperial personnel to join his motly crew of brigands. On a dark night in the lower levels, Seinwill was cornered in an alley by a death squad sent by the United Trade Federation. After several hours of combat, Seinwill was captured, although he killed two of his captors in the process. Later that week, Seinwill was transported to an unknown location. On Year 3 Day 357, by order of Supreme Chancellor Dargon Yotam, Seinwill was executed in a grisly fashion in a dungeon. He was the first individual ever to be executed in the history of the United Trade Federation.<ref name="ReferenceA">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021204234425/http://web.archive.org/web/20021204231628/http://www.swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=1149 GNS: "Execution of the Enemy of the People" - Year 3 Day 357] (Archived)</ref> He was strangled by hanging but released while he was still alive, eviscerated, his bowels burnt before him, and then beheaded.

Weeks later, Yotam presented Seinwill's head as a birthday gift to Angobba the Hutt and, for months thereafter, Seinwill's head graced Angobba's throne-room on Nal Hutta.

For the most part, Visceral Games has successfully taken the Battlefield franchise into new territory, but just like Battlefield 4, Hardline suffers from some serious technical issues.
I took the opportunity to kick the tires on the new console myself, and came away not all that impressed by its launch line-up.
Injustice: Gods Among Us is a substantial amount of entertainment wrapped around a pretty good fighting game.

Past lives and reincarnation. | The Weirdo.
It follows 5 Australian housewives’ past life regressions and subsequent documentarians’ travel around the world to verify information obtained through regressions. The knowledge the women had, pre internet, was at times, extremely precise and impossibly obscure. This raises the question of how else could they know such things? Very interesting to watch.
Also, Dolores Cannon writes many books of her experiences as a hypnotherapist with past life regression. Ian Stevenson’s decades long research into this is worth looking into. These along with the ones you mentioned and many more made me a believer.
Thank you very much for your comment and for the link.
Sometimes is very hard to believe in past lives but when reading certain stories is impossible to be 100% skeptical.
I became acquainted with the idea of past lives through the work of Brian Weiss, definitely worth a read if you’re interested. I think it’s as close to religion/faith as I get, but I know I also favour this option cause I’d like to think identities and consciousness never get lost?

I hope you haven’t missed me too much in this three week break (how did three weeks just fly by?). I’ve been hibernating from blogging, and getting through my last ‘busy period’. In the intervening three weeks, I’ve spent a week running a residential in Grange-Over-Sands, at Abbot Hall Hotel. It was a lovely week, with the opportunity to work with some fantastic poets from all over the country. I was a bit sad because one of my regular course goers, who has been on every residential since I started running them had to cancel because of an unexpected hospital stay. I know from personal experience how completely frustrating it can be, so I hope she is better soon. It wasn’t quite the same without her either – she is a great laugh, and usually has the whole table at dinner in fits of laughter. So get well soon Bernice!
It was perfect running weather in Grange, but I’ve been having problems with my IT Band, giving me pain at the side of my knee since I did the 14 mile race round Coniston, so I managed to resist, and went swimming in the hotel pool instead. It’s not the same as running, but I enjoyed it still. I used to swim at a club when I was younger, I think I swam nearly every night for quite a few years so it bought a few memories back. I’ve been keeping the swimming up as every time I try to run, my knee hurts again. I did parkrun yesterday but I can still feel the niggle there, so I think I’m going to have another two weeks off to see if that sorts it out. I just want to get it right ready for the summer, I don’t want to be stuck indoors unable to run!
I’m waiting to hear back about my revised RD1 now as well, but I’ve carried on with my reading. I bought a book called After Confessionalism: Poetry as Autobiography which is a collection of essays by American poets about confessional and lyric poetry. I started to wonder whether my poems about experiences of sexism are actually confessional poetry. The thing about these poems is that they have to be true. They have to be a ‘lived experience of sexism’. If I made them up, or appropriated someone else’s experience of sexism as my own, I think the reader would rightly feel manipulated, or annoyed. Their power needs to come from the fact that they are an individual experience, but that they reach out into a wider social context, that they are recognisable by other women. I felt uncomfortable and worried about having the confessional label applied to my poetry, and then started to wonder why that was. I think it gets used as a dismissive/disparaging term still. Like most labels, it’s not actually very helpful, and I’m halfway through this book of essays and haven’t found a definition of ‘confessional poetry’ that I agree with yet.
First of all, I don’t think this definition works when applied to the original poets like Lowell, Plath, Berryman etc that the term was coined for, although later on in the essay, Aleshire looks in detail at some of Lowell’s work to illustrate her point. I just don’t buy that bit about being ‘overwhelmed or intoxicated by the facts of his or her life’. I don’t buy the ‘breakdown in judgement and craft’. Surely that’s just a bad poem, not a confessional one?
Both of these definitions are problematic. The original definition of confessionalism assumes that there is a generic boundary of reticence/embarrassment that we all share, which is obviously untrue – although I guess that we are still bound by convention in some ways, there are some things that there is general agreement shouldn’t be talked about, but since 1959, this boundary, this border has shifted massively.
Going back to my own work, I’m not sure my poetry fits this 1959 definition. It kind of does – it is uncomfortable to point out sexism still or to talk about it. It’s often the ‘elephant in the room’ that doesn’t get acknowledged, but whether it crosses the boundary of ‘personal embarrassment’ – I’m not sure. Doesn’t every poem cross the boundary of reticence to be heard?
So back to Joan Aleshire. I’m not ashamed to say that sometimes I’ve been overwhelmed when writing a poem. Sometimes I’m writing so fast in my notebook it feels like I’m riding a wave. However, this is only in the moment of first getting the ideas down. Once I start editing, it is a very cold, hard and calculating process. The part about the ‘facts taking over’ is interesting. Because of what I’m writing about, a lived experience of sexism, there has to be a contract between myself and the reader, that what I’m writing is true. Otherwise the whole thing becomes pointless. At this point in my reading, I’m distracted by looking up ideas of truth in poetry, and the idea of there being only versions of the truth anyway, but I won’t go into that here. The rest of the definition, which centers on the premise of ‘confession’ kind of fits but doesn’t. The poems are not an admission of guilt, although I have felt ashamed when I’ve examined my own reaction/collusion with sexism. I don’t want to receive absolution though, or give it. I want to hold transactions that I have made in the society we live in up to the light to see exactly what is going on. Finally, the idea of shifting the ‘burden of knowledge’. This doesn’t work for me either – as often when I start writing these poems, I’m writing about a memory that I’ve carried for a long time, without even knowing why I’ve carried it for so long. I’m writing to find something out.
the true lyric poem – can, through vision, craft, and objectivity toward the material, give a sense of commonality with unparalleled intimacy.
These definitions feel much more comfortable to me. I love the idea of intimacy juxtaposed with commonality, a reaching outward. If the poems about experiences of sexism are working, if they are living breathing things then this is what they will do.
The good thing about this book is that the essay writers often disagree or outright contradict each other.
I’ve really enjoyed reading this book, and I’ve not reached the last chapter yet, which focuses on women’s poetry, which I know will be interesting, because I think the term ‘confessional’ is applied to women poets much more frequently than to men. What I’m not sure about is whether what I’m doing now, is actually what ‘doing a PhD’ is. Is reading the book on the train and making notes ‘doing a PhD’. Is writing my thoughts out on this blog, which has helped make them a lot clearer ‘doing a PhD?’ Why hasn’t someone written a handbook about creative writing PhD’s which would have a chapter that defines what ‘doing a PhD’ actually is? If this is ‘doing a PhD’ then I’m bloody loving it. If it’s not, then I’m a bit screwed, because I’ve spent the whole week doing something else entirely.
Apart from PhD work, I’ve also managed to finish a review that was overdue for Under the Radar magazine of two fantastic books by Emily Berry and Sabrina Mahfouz, played second trumpet in a duet piece for one of my remaining trumpet student’s GCSE performance, worked with Pauline Yarwood to finalise proofs for Kendal Poetry Festival brochures, had a filling (completely traumatising) and organised with Clare Shaw a ‘Feminist Poetry Jambouree’. What an amazing night that was. We stopped counting the audience at about 70. It was such a great thing to be part of, and lots of the audience were new to poetry as well, and had come because it was a feminist event, or because it was political. I’m sure themed poetry readings are the way forward! We also raised £200 to be split between The Birchall Trust (a local charity that works with survivors of sexual abuse) and Let Go (a charity that works with victims of domestic violence).
My exciting piece of news is that I’ve been invited to read at Struga Poetry Evenings, a poetry festival in Macedonia in August, as part of the Versopolis project that I’m currently part of. Versopolis is a funded project to help emerging poets reach a wider, more international audience. Through Versopolis, I went to Croatia at the Goran’s Spring Festival in 2015 and had a brilliant time, so I’m really looking forward to Macedonia. I’ll be at the festival for a week, and then the husband is going to meet me there on the last day of the festival (he is doing some epic and ridiculous bike ride to get there) and then we’re going to have a holiday together. As long as he doesn’t expect me to get on the pushbike!
In December, I’m running my ‘Poetry Carousel‘ residential course again for the third year running. As far as I know, nobody else is doing anything like this in the UK. The basic premise is instead of the usual two poetry tutors on a residential, the lucky participants on the Poetry Carousel will get four – myself, David Morley, Hilda Sheehan and Steve Ely. You will be in a group of no more than eight, and your group of eight will get a two hour workshop with each tutor. There will be a maximum of 32 people booked on the course, but the workshop groups will be small and intimate. In the evening, we all come together for readings from the tutors and guest poets, and it feels more like a festival than a residential. It’s taking place at Abbot Hall Hotel from the 8th-11th December 2017 and costs £360 for the weekend. This includes all of your meals (breakfast, lunch and three course evening meal) plus accommodation and workshops. If you are interested, please give the hotel a ring to book your room on 015395 32896. The best rooms always go first, so if you like a bit of luxury, please book early!
Today’s Sunday Poem is by my good friend Jennifer Copley, who I tutored with last week on the residential course. We shared a lodge together for the first time and it was a bit like living with a small bird. Jenny trilled her way round the lodge, singing snatches of Methodist hymns and other tunes. Jenny’s new pamphlet was published just in time for the residential course. It’s called ‘Some Couples’ and does what it says on the tin, exploring the world of coupledom in Jenny’s usual surreal style. It is a HappenStance pamphlet, so you know it’s going to be good! You can order it direct from them HERE, and make a hardworking, independent publisher very happy.
I love this poem for it’s childlike, wide-eyed tone at the beginning. Jenny’s poems always have their own inner logic, and I love how the reader goes with the idea of a mouse having a favourite corner, but then she pushes it further and convinces us that the corner has an opinion and worries of its own, and then even further still, with the introduction of the idea that the corner has a mother. The poem doesn’t give us all the answers however – what would a corner’s mother look like? For me, the whole poem lights up in the third stanza, with that direct interjection from the author. The use of the word ‘little’ works really hard for such an innocuous word to illustrate the fondness of the author for the corner. And then finally there is that lovely image of the mouse returning to finish off.
A small mouse sits in a corner of a field.
The corner is happy to have him.
Sometimes the mouse has to go away.
that he’ll find a better corner elsewhere.
A long time ago the corner’s mother did just that.
The corner had only a few cold-hearted stones to turn to.
going through all those hedges, brambles and nettles.

Father, son, and family dog embark on an ice fishing expedition. The ice, however, proves too thick to break. The family works to break the ice of the lake, as well as the ice of their relationship. This explosive comedy makes your bad day look like a blessing.
I like this film but hated that it began with a note that this was "based on a true story". Yeah, right!! This strongly appears to be an old urban legend, as I've heard many variations on it over the years. One version is at http://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/dynamite.asp.
Despite this story almost certainly being NOT based on a real case, it is enjoyable. The production values are exceptional and the acting is just fine. It has a nice professional quality about it and it very watchable.
A boy and his son are going ice fishing. The father forgets to bring the ice auger and so he naturally uses dynamite to create a hole. Now who on this planet just happens to have dynamite in their car...and not the auger?!?!? But, despite all this, it's clever and funny and worth a look.

JK wonders wtf they have a supposidly Justice system for As we know I have spent the past 5years oh and a hell of a lot longer (through no fault of my own) stuck and trying to move on spent 2 years at college started university and decided the course wasnt for me, I then do some Volunteering for a year and eventually with some fight get a job!! In this time all my cars have been legal Jk attended her interview a couple of months ago for Paisley Uni to attend Social Work course the interview went great and they were mostly impressed that I voiced my own opinions and not that of the system I was asked about my convictions and declared all next day I called from work and faxed a copy of my enhanced disclosure infact it was criminal justice who faxed it!! Anyway eventually got rejected as per But decided this time i wanted feedback as to why? the interview going so well made me wonder. I got a letter giving me unconditional acceptance into social science and waited on this feedback. Low and behold Kano being off today decides to check the house phone and there`s a message from professor !! Telling me the reason i didnt get a place is that..........They felt I wasnt being completely honest in disclosing my convictions. Now if you dont want me on the course just tell me dont accuse me of lying!!! JK is sooooooooo f*****g upset and angry this morning I have called but shes not in, there is no way on earth can I leave this the place on the course they can shove....you know where!! It does however make you wonder why keep fighting they just keep putting the boot in....wrongly accused AGAIN!!!
Him : Oh you qualify for winning women award!! That means first modules free.
Him : Last question do you have any criminal convictions?
Him: Yes but any you have disclose?
Him : Dont think i really want to know....hahaha Ill process this through today and we will get you down to class.
Noo watch this space if a disclosure has to be done guarenteed they will look at disposal and not offence!!!
Very sorry to hear about your recent plight JK. Perhaps they are using it as an excuse as a smokescreen to keep you out. They tend to let the great brainwashed into their lair before the mentally active!
Think you were right there H6 got a call back from them today she repeated what was said on the answering machine. So I pointed out that they had a full disclosure faxed to them she said she understood this now but still felt i wasnt being totally honest......and then it came "oh there was something else actually we felt you didnt show enough remorse regarding your offences"....( I need to check that again must be something there im missing )So i came straight out and asked if its the fact i have any offences at all thats stopping me? she replied if it was engineering or something but we do have to be very careful who we let in to social work the conversation then changed totally and she advised me to check if there were any places left in other uni`s for social work this year if not she would strongly advise me to re-apply next year (that`ll be when its spent ) or do social science with them and convert to social work after that. Amazing how they squirm when asked directly.
JK isnt sure what shes going to do work wise but it is coming close to me moving on but ill never stop having a say in how badly the system lets people down.
A pilot project which is already having an impact in helping to reduce reoffending, increase employment and strengthen family networks is to be rolled out across every prison in Scotland as the Big Lottery Fund today announces a £2 million award to the Wise Group for the Routes out of Prison (RooP) project.
The RooP project will work with 4,746 short term prisoners over the next two and half years helping them to integrate back into their communities and to stop the revolving door back into prison.
Research shows that employment is a key component to reducing re-offending. Through the ROOP project 782 of these 4,746 offenders are expected to access employment or training opportunities.
The project will also aim to achieve a reduction in re-offending rates between two per cent and five per cent by December 2010.
Employed by the Wise Group, these ex-offenders will establish a trusting relationship and plan of action to help short term offenders settle back into their community. This can involve meeting the individual at the prison gates and then accompanying them to the housing department, benefits agency, FE college or other support agency.
Following their release many of the offenders will also work with a Job Developer who will identify and help them to progress onto training or employment with the support of the Wise Group - a social enterprise that works with others to build stronger communities and increase job opportunities for individuals.
During the RooP pilot project the Wise Group engaged with 1565 clients pre-release from Barlinnie and Cornton Vale prisons and Polmont Young Offenders Institution. Since August 2006, 798 of these offenders had at least one engagement with a Wise Group employee on release. Of these 798, 151 secured either a job or a training place. This equates to 18.9 per cent over 19 months.
The pilot also showed that over 55 per cent of participants continued with support from a Wise Group employee after their release and at least 70 per cent engaged with the community support agencies they were sign-posted to.
Research also indicates that families are often one of the most critical factors in whether a prisoner re-offends. Prisoners without family support are two to six times more likely to re-offend in the first year after release. The imprisonment of a relative also has a significant impact on their family. There can be risk to housing tenure; financial pressures; anxiety, distress and health problems; rejection and stigma by neighbours and the community; and problems in caring for children.
Today’s Big Lottery Fund award will also enable RooP to pilot a family relationship programme with 100 offenders pre-release who will be supported to re-establish and develop their relationships with their families.
Laurie Russell, Chief Executive of the Wise Group, said: “The Routes out of Prison project will now be able to make a significant contribution to support more short-term prisoners make the successful transition from prison back into the community and to sustainable employment.
Today’s award has been made through Big Lottery Fund’s Life Transitions programme which supports people at times of change in their lives – at different life stages and in different circumstances.
The Routes out of Prison partnership consists of: the Wise Group, Scottish Prison Service, Apex Scotland, Families Outside, Criminal Justice Social Work Service for Scotland and the Criminal Justice Areas in Scotland. Additional financial support has been received from the European Social Fund and Glasgow City Council.
Just heard about this today and Kilmarnock prison yesterday decided to allow an ex-offender access to the prison So big shock there as even though the volunteers were helping people they wouldnt allow offenders in for a pre-release interview.
Juveniles who carry a knife unlawfully will be ranked alongside child murderers and rapists under new police rules.
The move will remove the leeway given to officers to let off offenders with a reprimand or warning.
The crime of carrying a bladed article will be placed in a category of "excluded offences" for which culprits are automatically charged.
Other offences in this category include kidnap, arson, poisoning and causing death by dangerous driving.
The change will form the centrepiece of the Government's response to pressure for tougher action against those who carry blades.
It follows concern that 90 per cent of teenagers were being allowed to escape prosecution with a reprimand.
The main reason for this was official guidance attached to the Crime and Disorder Act 2000, introduced by Justice Secretary Jack Straw when he was home secretary.
This attached a "gravity weighting" to different offences, dictating how the police should proceed in each case.
It meant officers were bound to issue a reprimand or warning to juvenile knife carriers unless there were aggravating circumstances, such as using the weapon to carry out a robbery.
The aim was to reduce the likelihood of juveniles being brought into the justice and prisons system, in case that led them into further criminality.
Now Gordon Brown has ordered a reversal of this approach after last week's Downing Street summit on knife crime with police chiefs, ministers and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
As a result, the low weighting attached to carrying a knife will be removed, and the offence put on the list of those that must be prosecuted.
The aim is to ensure all offenders are brought before the courts, so they can be punished effectively and action taken to address the causes of criminal behaviour.
At the same time, a tougher approach will be taken towards adults arrested for possessing an offensive weapon.
Prosecutors have been given guidelines instructing them that there should be a "presumption" to charge - effectively telling them to prosecute.
An outright order to prosecute automatically would be illegal and subject to judicial challenge, as the Crown Prosecution Service has a legal requirement to exercise discretion in each case.
The new measures do not alter the defence available to both juveniles and adults, who can show they were carrying a blade for a lawful reason.
This could include anglers found with a fishing knife, workers carrying their tools to a job or people returning from a shop with a new kitchen knife.
It is only a crime to carry a blade "without lawful reason" and that is unchanged.

A nice walk through a beautiful woodland area in North West Italy – Walking amongst picturesque natural lakes, with the hope of getting some footage of wildlife on camera.
Deers, wild boars, red squirrels any many more animals live in this stunning forest of chestunts and pine trees, however it is very difficult to spot them.
For this outdoors & wildlife video we mainly used the Nikon Coolpix, but we were ready to use also the GoPro Hero2 in case of more “in motion” filming and photography and also the iPhone as it’s quick to get ready for shooting photos & video and the quality is very good too. This area of North West Italy is one of the destinations of our Walking & Outdoor Tours, Active Holidays for individuals, families or Kids Summer Camps.
For more informations, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Bright green grass in the fields, colorful trees all around, and blue sky..stunning!

For the details about the DBT translator used by Vietnamese: click here.
Vietnamese is usually produced in contracted braille. This means that words are not produced in braille on a one-for-one basis. There are abbreviations or contractions in the text. If you have questions about how braille is produced, please contact a member of the relevant braille authority.
Sometimes, you may want to produce uncontracted braille. This is easy to do with DBT. Before translation into braille, go to the top of the document in DBT, and press Alt-1. When you translate into braille, the braille will be uncontracted.

In 2017 I designed educational design and illustration classes for 15 clients at Community Based Correctional Facility (Cleveland, Ohio). As part of the course we collaborated on a mural. The clients focused on self-portraits, portraits of loved ones etc. This image exemplifies the collaborative process of translating three client's works, which would later be painted on a 130ft. x 40ft. wall.
I think if we really want to diversify the fields of illustration and design, we have to look at fair distribution of technology, resources, and educational opportunities. Low-income or incarcerated individuals are disadvantaged, making commercial illustration and design exclusive entities.

JUDGING BY THE TV SHOWS SET IN hospitals, the most scandalous secret kept within the halls of healing is who's sleeping with whom. But the reality is, the biggest secrets in hospitals are less Dangerous Liaisons than simply dangerous. For instance, the person in the white lab coat carrying a clipboard? The hands holding that clipboard may not have seen a sink in hours, and you may not find "M.D." on the ID pinned to that lab coat.
The specifics of the secrets may vary, but they're all fueled by the same three factors: the threat of lawsuits, professional egos, and the pressure to preserve the profit margin. These can compel doctors to zip their lips when mistakes happen or protocol is ignored, says Martin Makary, M.D., M.P.H., an associate professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the author of Unaccountable: What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care.
Your doctor or nurse may have messed up your meds.
Pause before you pop that pill. It might be the wrong dose—or the wrong drug. "Medication errors can and do kill people," says James Merlino, M.D., chief experience officer at the Cleveland Clinic. The scariest part: Hospitals hide these mistakes from patients 98 percent of the time, a new study from Johns Hopkins University reveals.
Never mind the bedside manner—you want bedside scanning. With this protocol, nurses match bar codes on your ID bracelet to labels on medication bottles. The computer then verifies that the scanned drug is the correct one and that it hasn't expired, which cuts back on mistakes, says Michael Cohen, R.Ph., M.S., president of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices.
Pair this with your own low-tech check: Have your doctor list all the drugs you're taking and why. Then each time you're given a med, ask what it is and what it does—and check the answer against your list.
Suspect a slipup? Ask to see your doctor's notes. (Some hospitals are adopting an "open notes" policy.) Scan for phrases like "incident report," "near miss," or "risk management." These are often code for medical errors, says Sagar Nigwekar, M.D., coauthor of Top 5 Questions to Ask Your Doctor.
Your medical records are not confidential.
You're snug in your hospital bed, but your charts? They're going viral. "A single hospital visit can trigger an avalanche of information that spreads among doctors, specialists, insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, care providers, billing companies, and electronic-health-record providers—just to name a few," says Joel Winston, a New York City attorney who specializes in health care law. Why that's bad: If your charts are an open book, it boosts the odds that sensitive details about your health will slip into the hands of people who could use them against you—employers, ex-spouses, or medical identity thieves, says Deborah Peel, M.D., founder and chairwoman of the nonprofit advocacy group Patient Privacy Rights.
Before you're admitted, review the hospital's disclosure consent forms, which list all the ways your records may be shared. Check for a section called "Right to Receive Notice of a Breach," which requires the hospital to notify you if your records are stolen, hacked, or otherwise compromised. Once you check in, put a fraud alert on your credit. (Go to consumer.ftc.gov to find out how.) For the next 90 days, you'll be contacted if anyone tries to open an account in your name, but your ability to access your credit won't be affected, says Winston.
Doctors in training look the same as doctors in charge.
There's no universal way to distinguish med students and residents from staff physicians. In some hospitals, trainees wear shorter white coats than senior docs; other facilities use color coding to signal rank. This lack of standardization means a resident can easily be mistaken for a staff doctor, says Dr. Merlino. "Physicians in training are not licensed independent practitioners, so they can't make independent decisions." Plus, residents usually rotate to a different department every few months, so you may establish a relationship—and then they move on.
Card 'em. Hospitals often list the employee's title on the ID badge, so a quick glance may help establish rank. If you feel uncomfortable being seen by a student, or the caregiver's badge displays no clues, it's okay to say, "I've never met you. What's your role on the team taking care of me?" says David Mayer, M.D., vice president of quality and safety for MedStar Health, a health care system in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., area. Jot down the name of the attending doctor and consult him or her if you have any concerns. The one time to always request the head honcho: before scheduling surgery. Residents may not be able to clearly outline risks and benefits.
The call button isn't a surefire SOS.
You see the call light as an emergency flare, but your nurse may see just another blip on an already crowded radar. Heck, you may have time to watch another half episode of Judge Judy before help arrives: A 2012 University of Michigan at Flint study of four hospitals found that patients waited up to 18 minutes for a nurse or another staffer on the floor to respond to a call light.
Learn the hospital's rhythms. As soon as you arrive, find out when nursing shifts change (some hospitals have eight-hour shifts; others rotate nurses every 12 hours) and when mealtimes begin. Both are peak times for calls, a study in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality reports. Then time your nonurgent requests, like bed adjustments, to avoid those periods.
You should also ask how to summon the hospital's rapid response team. This crew, which can include a doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist, and pharmacist, is supposed to arrive at your bedside quickly, says Dr. Mayer. Rule of thumb: You (or a family member) shouldn't hesitate to call for them if your symptoms or vital signs have changed or you just don't feel right. Still concerned? Seek out a hospital with a wireless call system, where nurses are equipped with devices that immediately notify them of patients' needs.
You're sharing your nurse with 12 other patients.
Nurses are the front line of hospital care. As a result, they usually account for the largest slice of a hospital's labor costs—so when budgets are cut, one nurse may end up caring for more than a handful of patients, says Matthew McHugh, Ph.D., J.D., R.N., a University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing health care and policy researcher. The consequences go beyond a long wait for pain meds: Patients on understaffed floors are 2 percent more likely to die when their nurses are overworked, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine found.
Stick with the facilities that nurses favor. Choose one of 395 "Magnet hospitals"—these are hospitals that nurses rank highly in categories such as quality of care, leadership and education, and a positive working environment. (Find one at nursecredentialing.org/magnet/findamagnetfacility.) That translates to better care for you: Surgical patients in Magnet hospitals are 14 percent less likely to die, according to a new study in Medical Care.
Hospital meals may be as bad as fast food.
Hospital food has always had a bad rep for its taste. Now it can be nutritionally revolting as well. "If you're in the hospital for heart disease or diabetes complications, everything' on the menu should be healthy," says Lenard Lesser, M.D., of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute. The reality: Patient menus often feature hot dogs, burgers, wings, and lasagna, according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Keep an eye out for healthier offerings—veggie burgers, roasted vegetables, beans and rice—and ask the kitchen to build your meals out of those. You can also ask a hospital dietitian for specific guidance on foods that will improve your condition—or at least not worsen it—and then request those, says Dr. Lesser. Too much trouble? Select one of the 443 hospitals that have signed the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge (healthyfoodinhealthcare.org/signers.php). They've committed to adding antibiotic-and hormone-free food and organic and local produce to their menus.
Emergency room waits are only growing worse.
The principle of supply and demand doesn't apply in the ER. The number of visits in the U.S. rose by a third from 1999 to 2009, while 158 hospital ERs, roughly 3 percent, closed between 1998 and 2008. Not surprisingly, wait times have grown by 25 percent; longer stretches spent waiting in the ER have been linked to higher rates of hospital admissions and deaths.
In a true medical emergency, the closest ER is the best ER. Report critical symptoms—trouble breathing, uncontrollable vomiting, a seizure—first so your care isn't inappropriately delayed, says Harvard emergency physician Darria Long Gillespie, M.D. For less-urgent attention, such as a gash or broken bone, have a nearby ER already picked out. It should be staffed with board-certified emergency medicine docs, as well as specialists for any preexisting problems, like heart disease or diabetes. Need a tiebreaker? Choose a facility where you've been treated before so the staff has fast access to your records.
Your doctor's hands may be filthy.
No one expects a hospital to make them sick. Yet one in 20 patients develops an infection that can be blamed on lax hospital hygiene, the CDC reports. One major factor: Hospital staff fail to follow hand-washing guidelines 60 percent of the time, a study review in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology found. Sink visits tended to occur after rather than before patient contact, and physicians were less likely than nurses to lather up.
Unless you actually see your doctor scrub up, request that he or she hit the sink or at least apply hand sanitizer. "It can be intimidating, but is your embarrassment worth getting an infection?" says Adam Higman, M.S., vice president of Soyring Consulting, a firm that specializes in hospitals and health care. If you're really uncomfortable, try a funny approach: "Say, 'I know you'll want to wash your hands after touching me—would you mind doing it beforehand too?'" suggests Dr. Gillespie. And after your doctor obliges, be sure to express your thanks.
