Training Your Dog
If your dog is trained it will bring you great joy, happiness, and companionship, it will be an important member of your family and included in outings and activities. Dogs can help reduce stress from everyday life - if they are trained.
If your dog is not trained, undertrained or only listens to your commands at home - with no distractions - then you aren't enjoying your dog as much as you could be.
If your dog isn't trained it's likely that everyone spends far too much time yelling at the dog, chasing the dog and trying to get the dog to obey commands. Anyone who deals with an untrained or under trained dog on a daily basis knows that it is frustrating, annoying, stressful and time-consuming. An untrained dog is far more likely to be destructive, get seriously injured and potentially cause injury or damage to property, other dogs, humans and to your family.
If you get nothing else from your visit here, one way or another, please train your dog, you both deserve it!
Dog Training Fail
If you've tried and failed at other dog training programs or have experienced less than satisfactory results with other dog trainers - don't be too hard on yourself or your dog - you're not alone.
Dog owners spend lots of time and money trying to train their dog with methods that don't work, or only work with a handful of treats in the house when there are no distractions.
We take the guesswork out of training your dog with a program designed to give you complete control of your dog from the day it graduates from our exclusive off-leash K9 training program and we are with you on your canine journey for the life of your dog.
In fact, we're so confident that we can train your dog to be 100% Off-Leash and 100% Obedient that we back it up with a Lifetime Guarantee because our mission is to help you have a Perfect Dog For Life.
Dogs Can Be Expensive
Dogs are expensive, just ask anyone who owns one. After the purchase price of your dog - even if they don't eat a lot or take up much space, your fur pal is going to cost you, on average, $1500.00 per year, and this does not take into account any additional medical expenses due to sickness, disease or accidents. Veterinary medical care (until death) of your dog can easily exceed $20,000.00
Great training is the best Insurance for your dog.
The 10 Most Common Causes of Accidental Injury and Death to Canines
HIT BY CAR
COMPLICATIONS WHILE UNDER ANESTHETIC
FALLING FROM HIGH PLACES
All of these accidental deaths are completely preventable with the right tools and training.
The other variable in the cost of your dog is the dollar value of the damage and destruction that it can inflict on other humans, private property, valuables, and other pets. Each year dogs in North America cost pet owners millions of dollars in the destruction of property. Shoes, purses, furniture, landscaping, fences, doors, carpets and even vehicles, all damaged or destroyed by dogs. Dogs who are untrained and/or bored destroy things, and it's not their fault, it's yours. You may also be responsible for fines, legal fees, and settlements or lawsuits because your dog was not under your control and became destructive.
Ultimately you must train your dog, or have someone train it for you so that you are in control of its actions or the dog's safety and well being are in jeopardy and you are at risk financially, emotionally and legally.
We are here to help.
Which Training Is Best?
There are lots of options for you to choose from when considering training for your dog. You can read books or search for online training video and courses and train your dog yourself.
You can join group obedient classes or hire a private trainer.
There are lots of different dog training methods as well. Dominance, Positive Reinforcement, Scientific, Clicker, Mirror, and Electronic training just to mention a few. You can also train your dog for a variety of activities and tasks like tricks, agility training, companion dogs, scent training and more.
Ultimately you need to decide what outcome you and your dog hope to achieve from the training and how much time and commitment you are willing to put into the initial and on-going training of your dog.
The common denominators of any dog training method are; the dog should not be harmed in any way; your dog trusts you and you trust your dog; the training builds confidence in the dog and you; and that the dog ultimately responds to your commands in any situation on or off-leash.
If you have trained your dog, or if you have had your dog trained by someone else, and the dog will not follow your commands when there are no treats being offered, when there are distractions or when the dog is not on a leash, then your dog could be considered under-trained. How safe are commands if your dog only listens to them under ideal conditions?
We provide off-leash k9 training to qualified canines and guarantee that in just 2-weeks your dog will effortlessly perform the 10 commands that will set you on the path to a Perfect Dog For Life.

We were so happy to meet Tara!
It was as though we had been friends for many years before and understood each other's language completely. It could be that we connected through our love for dogs. Or knowing both the highs and lows of life from a deeper place. Or just that it's a wonderful coincidence to work with people who are genuinely interested in sharing their love for life and music.
Predictably Tara spent quite a lot of time talking to Nellie and Molly - they fell in love with her. Her beloved dog Flora has already spoken to us on Skype!
Tara's first draft was about a story which touched us both deeply. Without giving away too much, we will be sharing this story at the world premiere of her piece at Hellens Manor on August 2nd 2020.
Sarah has a melody that has an ebb and flow akin to an Indian folk song; to my ears it sounded as though the flute part was coming from a completely different strata of sound; a very sorrowful place.
Clashing notes on the piano and a very sparsely written part and quite a bit of experimentation about the kind of sound Tara was after (I think John Cage would have been very pleased with our efforts) which leads me to say that I have finally found a use for the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians: string damper!
We have started making plans for the future and what will follow this collaboration.
We shared stories, food, music and a bit of ourselves. How else can you make meaningful music?
I keep coming back to the same point: these commissions are about creating new connections, knowing ourselves, touching our limits, finding new ways of experiencing music.
Who knows what will happen next?
Thank you Tara.

The public story of Aaron Swartz’ now-tragic two year fight with the Federal government usually starts with his July 19, 2011 arrest.
But that’s not when he was first arrested for accessing a closet at MIT in which he had a netbook downloading huge quantities of scholarly journals. He was first arrested on January 6, 2011 by MIT and Cambrige, MA cops.
According to a suppression motion in his case, however two days before Aaron was arrested, the Secret Service took over the investigation.
On the morning of January 4, 2011, at approximately 8:00 am, MIT personnel located the netbook being used for the downloads and decided to leave it in place and institute a packet capture of the network traffic to and from the netbook.4 Timeline at 6. This was accomplished using the laptop of Dave Newman, MIT Senior Network Engineer, which was connected to the netbook and intercepted the communications coming to and from it. Id. Later that day, beginning at 11:00 am, the Secret Service assumed control of the investigation. [my emphasis]
In fact, in one of the most recent developments in discovery in Aaron’s case, the government belatedly turned over an email showing Secret Service agent Michael Pickett offering to take possession of the hardware seized from Aaron “anytime after it has been processed for prints or whenever you [Assistant US Attorney Stephen Heymann] feel it is appropriate.” Another newly disclosed document shows the Pickett accompanied the local cops as they moved the hardware they had seized from Aaron around.
According to the Secret Service, they get involved in investigations with:
- Significant economic or community impact
- Participation of organized criminal groups involving multiple districts or transnational organizations
- Use of schemes involving new technology
Downloading scholarly articles is none of those things.
A lot of people are justifiably furious with US Attorney Carmen Ortiz and AUSA Heymann’s conduct on this case.
But the involvement of the Secret Service just as it evolved from a local breaking and entry case into the excessive charges ultimately charged makes it clear that this was a nationally directed effort to take down Swartz.
MIT’s President Rafael Reif has expressed sadness about Aaron’s death and promised an investigation into the university’s treatment of Aaron. I want to know whether MIT–which is dependent on federal grants for much of its funding–brought in the Secret Service.

A total of 515 pupils have enrolled at Markethill High School this year, prompting calls for a new building and sixth form to become a priority.
Principal James Maxwell said the school has now become the biggest non-selective controlled school for pupils aged 11-16 in the Armagh, Banbridge and Newry City areas.
He, along with the Board of Governors and the community have been leading a campaign since September 2012 for the school to cater for pupils beyond the age of 16.
The school was oversubscribed for Year 8 places this September by a record 31 places. However, in May it was granted a much-needed temporary variation for an additional 16 pupils, as many of the children applying lived closer to Markethill High than other suitable schools.
Said Mr Maxwell, “In June 2014 we were apparently turned down for a new build by then Minister John O’Dowd because we did not have 500 pupils. That is no longer the case.
“Furthermore, the astonishing results our pupils and teachers have delivered this year at GCSE, with 90 per cent of pupils attaining five or more passes at A*-C, should place this school again as a top, leading non-selective controlled school.
“It is now completely unacceptable that a school with one of the best pass rates has to let go of 100 or more pupils at age 16, putting at risk their academic and pastoral wellbeing. We must, quite simply, get sixth form status in the near future.”

I got a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Certificate in Teaching Program and Certificate in Pre-school (Early Childhood). I’ve been teaching children with special needs for more than 10 years in my country (Philippines). I am a trained special needs teacher. I had attended numerous seminars/trainings related to special needs (Philippines). I even did coaching in athletics, swimming and bowling (adaptive sports) for special needs students. I used to be a member of Special Olympics Philippines.
I’ve been working in Thailand for 11 years now. I’ve been in several International and Thai schools. Late last year, I applied in this school, and luckily I was hired as a LSA/EAL assistant. It’s a good decision to move in this school because it’s a new environment and a new kind of work in EAL in which I handle some of the EAL secondary students and assist in Year 6 EAL. Supporting children with special needs in secondary level is also new to me. The camaraderie among teachers and staff are awesome. It’s like a big family community.
I’m a jolly, friendly and approachable person. I can adjust myself to everyone. I love to read books, cook and play badminton. In my free time, I watch old movies (DVD), or watch movies with friends.
The working environment here is like a family. Our department head is very supportive to all of us. Teachers, Teaching Assistants and support staff are also friendly and approachable. The location of the school is quite convenient. Our school has the best SEN department among all the International School here in Thailand.
“Ms. Myra is a very good teacher. She never gets angry and she is very nice and friendly. She makes the Lessons fun and full of learning.”
“During the lesson she is always laughing and very kind but sometimes she is quite strict. She helps me in my other lesson aside from EAL.”
“Ms. Myra has helped me with my English lessons and now I’ve improved tremendously because she explains it very well.”

World finance: Going with the flow
Global bank regulators have watered down planned liquidity targets, influenced by a fragile banking industry that nevertheless still wields considerable lobbying power. The changes are positive for bank shares, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities in the short term, but less encouraging for financial stability in the long term.
Given the average executive tenure at large firms, few bank bosses will remain at the helm in 2019. Still, these executives lobbied aggressively against new liquidity rules under debate by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and celebrated a victory on January 6th. According to a statement from the Basel-based umbrella group for national financial regulators, full implementation of the standards will now be delayed until 2019, four years later than previously scheduled. Changes to what counts as “high quality” assets and forecasts for stress in funding markets will also make the rules less onerous for banks to meet.
Bank shares, particularly distressed European lenders, rallied sharply on the news. Although the revisions will protect profits and reduce the pressure on banks to shore up their balance sheets – improving their ability to boost credit to weak economies, at least in theory – the long-term implications for financial stability are more problematic.
The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), a key component of the Basel III regulatory standards, governs the quantity and quality of marketable assets banks must hold to meet a freeze in funding sources or outright run on deposits. Banks must maintain a large enough buffer of high-quality assets to withstand 30 days of stress, as defined by the Basel committee.

The Broads National Park is a unique mosaic of gentle landscape, lakes and rivers covering 303 square kilometres and indeed is a very beautiful place. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and home to 11,000 species and one third of the rarest species in the UK. Occasionally you may see a bittern or an otter or a swallowtail butterfly, more likely a kingfisher.
Because of its beauty it is popular with holiday makers, those who hire cruisers or sailing yachts or come from the many caravan sites in the area and hire a ‘dayboat’ . There are lots of private boat owners too, and, of course, a whole industry around holiday making, a large agricultural industry and businesses common to all towns and cities in UK. Norwich is the big cathedral city from which the river Yare flows through the centre of the Broads out to the sea at Great Yarmouth. There are two other main rivers, the Bure in the North with its tributaries, the Ant and the Thurne and the Waveney in the South.
The Chet is a small river off the Yare and is the regular walk for one of our Waterways Chaplains. The rivers connect a number of broads, they are lakes really, but are the result of ancient peat diggings and great for sailing and fishing.
The Broads is managed by the Broads Authority , who deal with everything from the environment and planning permission to boat licencing and has it own dedicated police officers ‘Broads Beat’ part of the Norfolk Constabulary.
The Broads Chaplaincy hub started in 2020 and now has 4 chaplains, Pete and Tricia Gillett become probationers in May 2021 to join Angie Baldwin and Mike Cadman. Like all Waterways Chaplains, their role is to support, aid and assist those who live on or near waterways. It is a large area to cover, but they are out and about talking to people and just being available. There are at least 60 ‘liveaboards ‘ (people who choose to live on their boats) and the Chaplains work to build up support and availability for them too.
Mike is a dentist and even helped with toothache. Angie and Mike have been interviewed on Radio Norfolk and the work publicised in the Network Norfolk Christian website, so very quickly, we have been welcomed into the whole Broads community and have become valued for our work.
The Broads Authority have welcomed the team, as have the Broads Beat police, and pass on their concerns for those in need. The Broads Chaplaincy fills a gap where the official authorities do not have the resources. Houseboats occasionally sink and the owners need support and friendship and, sadly there has been a suicide where much needed support has been given. It is not always easy living on a small boat and boaters can have mental health issues and again they provide support and just show they care, even going so far as transporting outboard motors.
People talk to the Chaplains when they are wearing their gilets. They can be ‘travel couriers’, tourist information officers, mooring assistants, and yet sometimes give that deep and meaningful support which so many have needed in the past year or so. The Broads community is a good one and they are pleased to be part of it.
All the time, the Chaplaincy team know that the God who made this very beautiful place loves and cares for the people who live here and visit on holiday. As Chaplains, we all know that Jesus Christ died for them, indeed for us all, and showing that love and care when we are pastorally proactive gives the opportunity to be spiritually reactive.
We hope above all, that our lives, the smile on our face through lockdown, the attentive ear and the practical help, testify of the God we love and serve on the Broads; the God to whom we owe everything.
If you would like to support the growing team of Chaplains volunteering on the Broads, or Waterways Chaplaincy as an organisation, then please click on the link below. Thank You.

Ask an Officer: When following a snowplow
Question: What is a safe following distance when a snowplow is in front of me?
Answer: On roads where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour, a vehicle may not be closer than 75 feet to a plow truck. On roadways with a speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour, the minimum following distance is 200 feet. Please note, a plow truck also includes the operating status when the truck’s blades are not deployed, but the truck is spreading salt or sand.
Overtaking and passing a plow truck is allowed, provided you are in compliance with the rules of the roadway governing overtaking and passing. Wisconsin statute also states, “the fact that the operator of any vehicle follows the snowplow more closely than permitted for one mile or more, or follows more closely than permitted when the snowplow is moving at the maximum speed limit, is prima facie evidence that the operator of such following vehicle is violating [the following distance restrictions].”
The statute governing this topic is 346.915; violations of the statute can total more than $200. For more safe winter driving tips, visit dot.wisconsin.gov/safety/motorist/winterdriving/driving-tips.htm.

The electronic flags supplement the traditional cloth flags which have proven hard to see at night and there will be 35 units all up situated around the track. The electronic units will be used in conjunction with a new lighting system to light up the track, making the race less dangerous and easier for drivers to adapt to the new environment. The system will be controlled by officials at each marshal's post, while the race director will be able to see what all the flags are displaying from a central control room.
The flag system is the result of more than ten years of testing and development meaning that it is certainly more complicated than it appears. Apparently it took this long because of harsh requirements established by the FIA. Developed by Italian firm Valerio Maioli, the system will be the first of its kind and should add to the surreal experience of watching a night-race for the first time.

Many homeowners planning to give their homes an exceptional appearance choose tongue and groove wood paneling. This long-lasting material can be used in a wide range of settings, from traditional to modern. If you’re considering installing tongue and groove wood paneling in your home, you need to know a couple of things beforehand. Here are five installation pointers to help you get started:
Plan Your Layout
Take exact measurements of your walls prior to starting the installation of the tongue and groove panels. Time, money, and stress can be saved by “measuring twice and cutting once.” Take accurate measurements of the room’s dimensions, including the niches and gaps. Each tongue and groove board should measure its length to ensure a proper fit into your wall surface. Remember, this is a crucial procedure to achieve your desired look and feel.
Choose the Right Wood
Choosing the right tongue and groove paneling material is crucial before installation. Various designs and sizes are available, so you must choose the one that fits your demands. For example, the V-groove type of paneling is a popular choice that creates a timeless appearance with its beveled edge.
You can also choose a shiplap style with a flat surface or a beadboard style with a rounded edge. Visit websites like belcofp.com/products/xt-tg/ for more tongue and groove paneling options and ideas to help you select the right one for your project.
Use the Right Tools
Tongue and groove woodwork requires specific equipment for proper installation. Tools like a hammer, nails, nail gun, level, and measuring tape will also be needed. Use these tools appropriately to avoid injury and damage to your panels. The quality of the result could greatly benefit from utilizing the right equipment.
Prepare Your Walls
Preparing your walls before installing the tongue and groove paneling is vital. Ensure that your wall surfaces are smooth, clean, and free of dirt or bumps. You can also include insulation when necessary. Mark a level line around the area where you want the paneling to sit.
This line will serve to help you keep the panels straight and level. On the other hand, you may contact companies like Belco Forest Products for advice and assistance in wall preparation and finding high-quality tongue and groove paneling materials.
Consider the Direction of the Grain
When setting up tongue and groove panels, it’s important to consider the direction of the grain. The direction can have an effect on the overall appearance of your panels and how they fit together. Generally, it is recommended to install the boards with the grain running perpendicular to the direction of the joists or studs in your walls.
Leave Room for Expansion
Tongue and groove panels will expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. In order to prevent your boards from warping or buckling, it is crucial to leave room for expansion. This can be accomplished by leaving a small gap between each panel and by not nailing them too tightly to the wall.
If you’re aiming to give your house some personality and coziness, tongue and groove paneling is a perfect choice. However, keep in mind these fundamental guidelines for the best outcomes. Always double-check your measurements, choose high-grade material, use appropriate equipment, pay attention to the grain direction, and leave room for expansion. If you comply with the advice in this article, you can install tongue and groove paneling in your house that looks great and lasts for many years.

Marlborough man face sentencing for bank fraud
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—A Marlborough man is facing sentencing for his role in a multi-million dollar bank fraud scheme.
Federal prosecutors said 49-year-old Mirza Baig will be sentenced Friday in New Haven. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
Baig worked for a company that operated automated teller machines.
Authorities say Baig and others engaged in a conspiracy to defraud Domestic Bank of cash the bank supplied for use in the ATM network.
Prosecutors say Baig stole almost $2 million.
Baig's lawyers seek a sentence of less than the more than four years recommended by guidelines, saying he's a father of five who cares for his elderly parents and has no previous criminal record.
Prosecutors say he should get a significant sentence, citing the extent of the theft.

My website will look just like someone else’s site.
Law Firm Web Design will work closely with you to create a unique website that’s all your own. It will have a unique color scheme, fonts, and, of course, content. Your site will speak to your prospective clients in your firm’s voice. Images on the site will reflect your specialties, clients and location.
That being said, many websites DO look alike nowadays. Design on the Web has become more standardized over time; there’s less variation on the Web than there used to be. In many ways, this is a good thing. Visitors come to your website with certain expectations about how it will look and function based on other sites they’ve visited. If you stray too far “outside the box” with your design, visitors may be unsure how to find what they need. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel!
I’m stuck with the layout I see.
We don’t consider our law firm website templates finished designs. To us, they provide a framework in which to be creative. They’re just a starting point. In fact, because we have less code to worry about, we can spend more time on the finer elements of your site’s design. As our design templates have evolved, they’ve gotten easier to change. We can move features around, add and delete elements and, of course, modify colors, fonts and images on your firm’s website. What you see in our library of law firm website templates is not the end – it’s just the beginning.
Functionality is limited. My website will be static and boring.
Law Firm Web Design will build your website on the WordPress platform. WordPress is an open-source platform, so thousands of people are developing tools to make it more powerful and robust. As of this writing, there are almost 30,000 plugins we can use to add features and functionality to your website. If you have an idea, there is probably a tool out there that can do the job. Best of all, proven solutions are usually quite reasonably priced.
Customization is hard or time-consuming.
I may need special software or other investments.
We’ll customize your site based on feedback we gather from you. Some templates – mainly older ones – may be harder to customize than newer ones, but every WordPress theme can be customized. We’re experts with years of experience making WordPress themes fit our clients’ needs. We’ll work closely with you to ensure you’re happy with your new website.
Once your site is up, we’ll show you how to update it. At that point, you won’t need us to create a good-looking and unique page. Most of our templates allow you to add eye-catching features to any page, such as colorful buttons, tabs or colorful boxes that call attention to important parts of a page. Some of our designs give you even more control and allow you to change background colors and images, add your own slideshows and create and add unique sidebars to each page you create. The possibilities are almost endless.
Templates don’t perform well in search engines.
We’re really not sure how this rumor got started because it is definitely NOT TRUE. In fact, WordPress websites can be structured to do better in search engines than other websites. Web addresses can automatically be created based on the name of your web page, which can really help your placement. SEO plugins (like the one provided with your Law Firm Web Design site) let you see each page like the search engines do, so you can target specific keywords and phrases more precisely and without guesswork. WordPress makes it easy to update your site anytime, too. A website that’s update often will out-perform other websites.
Our lightweight code means pages load faster, too, which can help your site with search engines. Of course, while search engines are important, we never forget who matters most – the people who will visit your site. If prospects and clients like your site, they’ll refer more clients to you, share your site on social networks and help drive more people to you.
I won’t stand out.
We believe that good design is good business.
Good, clean website design will help your law firm build credibility with prospective clients. Have you looked at how bad some of your competitors’ sites are? Many are truly terrible. Even many high-end, multinational law firms have websites that have been put together poorly. We’ll help make the complex simple for your prospective clients and create a website that’s easy to use. That alone will help your firm stand out. Your site will include high-quality images, a pleasing color palette and custom typography. Enhance your firm’s reputation and stand out with your own law firm blog that you can update anytime.
Law Firm Web Design will take the time to get to know your firm. We’ll learn – and share – your vision. Our design will help you stand out because it will reflect what’s unique about your law firm.
Templates aren’t scalable. If my law firm grows it won’t work anymore.
This is another one that’s completely untrue. It’s quite easy to add, remove and re-organize your website when it’s built on WordPress. Most websites have one main navigation bar, although many could have two or three. With WordPress, you can add pages to any navigation by simply dragging and dropping them. If your firm has 10 attorneys today and grows to 100, WordPress can accommodate that. It’s also easy to add new practices and office locations. WordPress even makes it easy to change the complete look and feel of your site. Everything is stored in a database, just install and customize a new theme and you’ve got a brand new website, with less effort than standard html or other content management systems.

- Space-as-a-service brand Bold will open its first Manchester community in January 2022, in the city’s popular Spinningfields area.
- The space will provide flexible memberships, private spaces and events, as well as access to capital, advice and mentoring.
- Bold forms part of space-as-a-service operator NewFlex’s multi-brand portfolio, which currently manages in excess of 1 million sq ft of flexible space.
Innovative, design-led ‘space-as-a-service’ brand Bold will open its first Manchester (UK) community in January 2022, in the Bauhaus building in the heart of the city’s popular Spinningfields area.
The beautifully designed new space will provide entrepreneurs, creatives and SMEs the environment they need to flourish with flexible memberships, private spaces, communal areas and events that foster collaboration. There will also be a café serving Bold’s proprietary coffee and tea blends, as well as access to capital, advice and mentoring.
Founded by American entrepreneur and host of the #WorkBold Podcast, Caleb Parker, and ex-TransferGo Marketing Director, Magnus Olby, Bold operates a management agreement commercial model that enables asset owners to benefit directly from the growth in demand for space-as-a-service.
Bold forms a key part of space-as-a-service operator NewFlex’s multi-brand portfolio. With 1M+ SqFt under management, NewFlex delivers and manages a range of branded flexible office solutions for every type of location and occupier. These include Citibase, Serendipity Labs, Bold and easyHub as well as a number of white label solutions created specifically for developers and asset owners.
Caleb Parker, founder of Bold, commented: “This is a key step in Bold’s journey as we engage with Manchester’s thriving creative and SME scene. We’re excited to offer more flexibility and freedom to help more entrepreneurs follow their dreams, connect and grow their business within this coveted inner-city community.”
“For landlords and developers, Bold can complement leasing strategies and help squeeze new value out of real estate assets aligned to the new working world.”
Steve Jude, CEO of NewFlex comments: “The pandemic has accelerated flexible working trends, with the conventional 9-5 week in the office becoming a distant memory for many people. We’re delighted to partner with Orchard Street on its newly repurposed flagship Bauhaus asset. Bold will provide an exciting hybrid solution for fast growing SMEs and entrepreneurs who crave flexibility within a highly desirable city-centre location amongst other likeminded businesses and individuals.”

I was all set to compliment the Tate for creating a new space on YouTube called The Performance Room. It is meant to show performances designed specifically for online viewing, all commissioned, and “the first artistic programme created purely for live web broadcast.” (I’m not sure about that, but that is what the Tate claims.)
Referencing previous works such as Vertical Roll 1972, in which she performed directly to the camera in her studio, and drawing on mythology, Jonas will create a live tableau using sculptural props, costumes, masks, music, her voice and her students.
That Tate channel has nearly 13,000 subscribers and has had more than 3.2 million viewers for its other videos, which include the Tate’s performances in The Tanks. On Feb. 3, that meant a live, unscripted performance conceived by artist Suzanne Lacy, Silver Action.
UK-based women who took part in significant activist movements and protests from the 1950s to 80s will share their personal stories in a series of workshops, culminating in a day-long public performance on 3 February. Visitors to The Tanks will hear diverse groups of women engaged in discussion about their experiences and the impact and results of their actions as they walk among them. Live documentation – film, social media and text – will also be projected in real time onto the walls of The Tanks.
You can read more about that here. I saw a video of a previous work by her in the Tanks last fall, and I quite liked it.
But while I was on the subject of the Tanks, I learned that the Tate did it again with regard to an overbearing corporate sponsorship — not just with BP, as I mentioned here. A recent missive from the Tate talks about the BMW Tate Live program, a four-year partnership between BMW and Tate now in its second year that “focuses on live performance and interdisciplinary art both in the gallery and online.” No amount for the gift was specified, and a quick Google search didn’t turn up anything either. Here’s the BMW version of the partnership.
Of course, BMW also forged a deal with the Guggenheim Museum in 2010, putting its name first and foremost on the BMW Guggenheim Lab. That’s a mobile structure, intended as a place to exchange talk (aka ideas), though — and somehow seems less offensive than the Tate deal.
Still, it makes one wonder — are we next going to have the BMW (Fill in an artist’s name)? A piece of conceptual art, sure, and also a very bad idea.
Why is the Tate allowing this, the thin end of the wedge, to use a British phrase? Don’t they have better negotiators in their development department? It’s hard to roll any of these abuses back. They should remember another Britishism, from their own history with the Vikings: Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.

Bayt.com to launch Saudi virtual job fair
Riyadh, January 8, 2012
Bayt.com, a major job site in the Middle East, will run its popular Virtual Job Fair (VJF) for Saudi Arabia from January 14 to 18.
In the past years, the online job fair had achieved massive success across the region, for providing a convenient platform from which jobseekers and employers can interact directly without the need of a physical forum, said a statement.
The VJF presents a unique concept where jobseekers are able to fully interact with potential employers within a virtual environment, styled to look like a real job fair.
Using a range of digital tools, such as chat rooms, webcasts and webinars, both parties can exchange vital job-related information. Jobseekers can search for available jobs and submit their CVs, while employers can interact with jobseekers through virtual ‘booths’.
“We are living in a fast-paced world where convenience is key, and both employers and jobseekers want to pursue the full potential of the market in an expedient and effective manner. That is why the Bayt.com Virtual Job Fair has been extremely successful across the region; it has proved to be the ideal solution for all parties to explore as many opportunities as possible, at their own convenience and from the comfort and privacy of their own home or office environment,” said Amer Zureikat, VP sales at Bayt.com.
“Our last VJF in Saudi attracted 48,000 jobseekers, who made more than 100,000 visits through the fair’s duration,” he said.
Jobseekers wishing to participate in the job fair, can register for free at the website. Once logged in, candidates will be able to apply for jobs 24/7, at their own convenience and from the privacy and comfort of their own home or office environment, the statement said.
Participating employers benefit from increased brand awareness, and access to the website’s extensive portfolio of jobseekers, made up of over 6,750,000 registered users covering over 94 industries and 185 countries.
With the Bayt.com’s VJF there are minimal resource requirements in return for maximum exposure, meaning less costs and a higher return on investment than with a traditional job fair, it said. – TradeArabia News Service

Henry's End by Julie. A Richman
Can I just say before I start my review, Julie A Richman, I know this is your first m/m book but please, please write another one.......
Gut wrenching, heartbreaking, a young mans quest to find true love.
Henry had decided to move to a place more accepting of his sexuality and explore what it felt like to be an Out and Proud gay man. He finds a little club called the Hole which is filled to the brim with his every waking dream. Men in uniform!!!!!
While dancing with a young pretty boy he sees an older, very striking man who looks like he would be exactly what Henry wants, someone to take charge and look after him. To begin with it seems like the perfect relationship, until a few words Cody uses sets alarm bells ringing. When he disappears for a while and Henry finds out his secret, things go very bad and Henry ends up in hospital and different in the worst way possible.
His new friend Edwin, an older, very flamboyant queen becomes his rock, along with his oldest friend Schooner, and together they help him to rebuild his life.
While training at the gym he meets a cop called Quinn, together they form a special bond. Quinn is very respectful of Henry's reservations after his past experience and they take it slowly. When they finally come together it is very powerful and moving in together and discussing the future is the next step. Blissfully happy, Henry could never imagine the tragedy that is about to happen and he is left alone yet again to pick up the pieces of his broken heart.
At Schooners wedding a friend of the brides is very pleased to meet the handsome Henry, will Seth be his happily ever after? Only time will tell......
This book touches on severe homophobia, a terrible assault, Aids, tragedy, the loss of the ones you love and the beauty of love when it finally happens.
I have read a lot of m/m books and this one was definitely one of the best.
5 out of 5 very sparkly bright stars.

Materials: Lack Coffee Table
Description: Using the base of the Lack coffee table to make a large upholstered ottoman/coffee table.
I took apart the Lack coffee table and chopped the legs from the bottom. I left the metal braces already on the legs so I could reattach a new shelf. I reused the hardware to attach the legs to the new upholstered plywood top. Because I made the top larger than the original lack I had to build a new bottom shelf. It is attached by chiseling out notches on the bottom of the shelf and resting on the metal shelf prongs made for the Lack Coffee table.
I thought about not hacking the Lack coffee table and doing this all from scratch but after pricing out the costs of 4 legs, leg hardware, and hardware to attach a seamless lower shelf, the $19.00 Lack Coffee Table and its materials was much cheaper.
The specific details of how to build and tuft the top and build a bottom shelf out of scrap wood, are on my blog.
See more of the Lack upholstery.

Retina – Macular degeneration Surgery
This type of surgery (microsurgery) is suitable for a variety of conditions in the posterior half-length of the eye. It is a very safe and painless surgical technique with an extremely low complication / risk ratio.
During vitrectomy, vitreous (transparent gel consisting of 98% water) is removed through very small incisions (about 0.5 mm).
Indications of Vitrectomy
The vitrectomy surgery used to treat various diseases of the retina, macular and vitreous, such as:
- Retinal detachment (Reshaped detachment as well as Relative retinal detachment commonly found in diabetic patients)
- Macular ooze
- Epithelial / Retinal Membrane
- Femoral hemorrhage
- Bleeding / Wind Turbidity
- Productive diabetic retinopathy
- Chronic or Refractory macular edema
It is also suitable for the treatment of:
Complications of cataract surgery such as, crystalline lens or intraocular,
serious cases of ocular trauma such as an intravenous foreign body.
The technique of vitrectomy is done with local anesthesia and usually no treatment is required. It is not a painful surgery and can be combined with surgery in the anterior half of the eye, such as cataract surgery or cornea transplant or even anti-glaucoma surgery.
During surgery, 3 or 4 microscopic incisions are performed in the eye in order to enter the special microsurgical tools and with the help of specialized and ultramodern machines, the specialist surgeon performs the delicate surgical procedures for the treatment of the condition.
These incisions usually do not require stitching because of their tiny size.
At the end of the procedure, the vitreous is replaced by either a specific fluid (BSS) or an air-specific gas (SF6, C2F6, C3F8), or a special silicone oil in case of particular gravity.
In some cases where silicone oil is injected into the vitreous cavity, a new, lesser silicone removal surgery is needed after a few months (usually about 3-6 months).

Subscribe To Watch President Obama Take Over The Colbert Report Updates
I've already subscribed
Last night, Comedy Central aired the episode of The Colbert Report we’ve all been waiting for. While Stephen Colbert and his team were in our nation’s great capital for a visit to George Washington University they roped in the person who is arguably the biggest guest that a politically-oriented talk show can currently have on: President Obama. Catch him taking over The Colbert Report, below.
Colbert is preparing to introduce the new episode of The Colbert Report when President Obama walks onstage. The host exclaims he didn’t expect Obama for another three minutes, to which the President replies with a real zinger.
“Stephen, you’ve been taking a lot of shots at my job, I decided I’m going to take a shot at yours.”
The President actually does a pretty good job with Colbert’s opening monologue, giving us “The Decree,” a segment which is all about Obamacare, its effects on the American populace, and how to kill it off before it gets any further by “scaring away young people.” Hilariously, the goal is to read the words exactly as they were written for Stephen Colbert, which means Obama not only refers to himself as Stephen Colbert a couple of times, he also goes on a rant about how “arrogant” the President actually is. But don’t take my word for it—seriously check out the opening; it even features Obama doing Colbert’s pen trick.
The President’s takeover of The Colbert Report was announced just a few days ago, during which Colbert also mentioned the awesomely appropriate name for last night’s episode, “Stephen Colbert Presents: Mr. Colbert Goes to Washington D.C. Ya Later, Legislator: Partisan is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Colbert Victory Lap, ‘014.” This isn’t the first time Barack Obama has popped up on a Comedy Central show. He has also appeared on The Daily Show and even briefly showed up on a pre-taped Colbert Report segment that also featured Hilary Clinton and John Edwards (at the time, he hadn’t even earned the POTUS title, yet). This time around, it’s a way bigger deal, as Obama was a huge part of the episode, which was taped at the university in front of a large crowd. I’m sure it was a security nightmare for his Secret Service team, but it was totally worth it for the final product.
It’s pretty sweet that the President was able to be a part of the show this year. Stephen Colbert only has a few more episodes left of The Colbert Report before he leaves Comedy Central to take over David Letterman’s timeslot over at CBS. The man already has big plans for his finale, and while we are sad his show is ending sooner rather than later, we’re happy he gets to do things as cool as event tapings and Barack Obama appearances until he completes his last monologue for Comedy Central.

It’s the little cracks that will cause the fall.
One upon another to bring down the wall.
Of themselves hardly a worry,
But they combine to a diabolical fury.
Such great loss from such little things.
Who knew the curse disobedience brings.
Enslaved to follow this eroding course,
What might’ve been is my remorse.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Isaiah 55:2 NIV
Little crumbs can become a great meal,
One after another to forge armor of steel.
Of themselves hard to consider,
O the blessing they will come to deliver.
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24 NIV
Such great gain from such little things,
God tells us the riches obedience brings.
Who knew the glory it would unlock,
A temple to God built block upon rock.

Today's troubled juvenile court system has its roots in Progressive-era Chicago, a city one observer described as "first in violence" and "deepest in dirt." Examining the vision and methods of the original proponents of the Cook County Juvenile Court, Victoria Getis uncovers the court's intrinsic flaws as well as the sources of its debilitation in our own time. Spearheaded by a group of Chicago women, including Jane Addams, Lucy Flower, and Julia Lathrop, the juvenile court bill was pushed through the legislature by an eclectic coalition of progressive reformers, both women and men. Like many progressive institutions, the court reflected an unswerving faith in the wisdom of the state and in the ability of science to resolve the problems brought on by industrial capitalism. A hybrid institution combining legal and social welfare functions, the court was not intended to punish youthful lawbreakers but rather to provide guardianship for the vulnerable. In this role, the state was permitted great latitude to intervene in families where it detected a lack of adequate care for children. The court also became a living laboratory, as children in the court became the subjects of research by criminologists, statisticians, educators, state officials, economists, and, above all, practitioners of the new disciplines of sociology and psychology. The Chicago reformers had worked for large-scale social change, but the means they adopted eventually gave rise to the social sciences, where objectivity was prized above concrete solutions to social problems, and to professional groups that abandoned goals of structural reform. The Juvenile Court and the Progressives argues persuasively that the current impotence of the juvenile court system stems from contradictions that lie at the very heart of progressivism.

NEW CAIRO, Egypt—Drinking Turkish coffee in his well-appointed home in the upscale residential development of Al Rehab City here, 15 miles from Cairo’s center, Abdel Hady Fahmy thinks back to three years ago, when he decided to leave Syria for Egypt. With his wife, Faten, and daughter Mariah, 23, beside him, he recalls the misfortunes that war wrought upon his life and livelihood.
Fahmy owned a large textile factory, Cotton and More, outside Damascus. About a year into the war, which started when President Bashar Assad violently crushed peaceful demonstrations against his despotic rule, the area where some similar factories stood became a critical zone of conflict between the army of Syria and the rebel Free Syrian Army. The FSA erected a security fence between the factories and the capital, cutting them off from access to the raw materials they needed to operate. One day, Fahmy’s friends were among the biggest clothing manufacturers in the country; the next they were trapped in their country and unable to earn a living.
But that wasn’t what motivated him to leave. Neither was it the bomb that fell on the building next to his warehouse, destroying it. In the end, it was his own frailty. Fahmy, 65, was diagnosed with kidney dysfunction in 2010 and not long after the war began he was unable to safely reach the hospital where he had been undergoing dialysis three times a week. Beirut was an option, but the frequent 100-mile round-trips, he knew, would be arduous. Around the same time, the yarns and dyes Cotton and More needed became unavailable. So Fahmy went to Cairo to see if he could run his business there. “The environment was perfectly suitable to continue my work,” he said. “Raw material prices were good, rents and workforce wages were reasonable—all production costs were close to those in Syria.” Fahmy moved his family to Cairo, arriving in May 2013. The family photo albums had to be left behind.
About 15,000 Syrian business owners—representing almost 30 percent of the total in Syria—have come to Egypt since 2011, with value of investments ranging between $400 million and $500 million.
Omar El-Dabea, Egyptian Association for International Investment
Only when Fahmy tells of what became of his business does his thin brow become knotted and his face begin to turn red. The factory that had been his family’s lifeblood for 30 years needed to be sold; moving the equipment to Cairo would be too costly. The only buyer he could find happened to be a businessperson, as Fahmy describes it, “in close relationship with the Syrian Army.” With little leverage in the situation, Fahmy was forced to sell the machines for less than half of what he estimated to be their value. Shortly after he was settled in Cairo, Fahmy learned that the new owner was mysteriously able to get his hands on the raw materials that had eluded Fahmy, “and the factory was operating once again."
FULL COVERAGE: The Global Refugee Crisis
At least 10 million Syrians—nearly half the country’s population in 2010—have left their homes and become refugees or been forced to move within Syria. Fahmy’s family is among the estimated 350,000 who fled to Cairo between 2011 and September of this year, according to Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (though some reports put the number as high as 500,000). Thousands have started businesses there, employing tens of thousands of Egyptians. They have poured money into the stock market and filled important niches in the manufacturing sector, reducing reliance on imports and lowering the trade deficit. Unlike other countries in the Middle East, Egypt has not required that Syrians live in refugee camps. The decision to engage Syrians with the community instead of isolating them in camps has empowered them to contribute to the Egyptian economy, said economist Sherif El-Diwany, director of the Egyptian Center for Economic Rights. Yet Egypt’s government so far seems hostile to Syrian refugees, failing to recognize their economic contributions and instead throwing up obstacles to residence and entrepreneurship through outmoded policies, new visa requirements, and corruption.
Not all the refugees have found success like Fahmy’s. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, in coordination with Egypt’s government and U.N. specialized agencies, provides those in need with medicine, education, and nutrition assistance. About 32,000 of the registered Syrian refugees in Cairo receive monthly stipends, and about 25,000 students are on educational scholarships. UNHCR also provides legal assistance, professional training, and community activities for refugees of various age groups.
Owing to much of Egypt’s $3.3 trillion economy being unlicensed and hence officially illegal, there is no definitive figure on the volume of Syrian investments in Egypt and their contribution to GDP since the war broke out in 2011. Nevertheless, economic observers agree that they have increased greatly since the conflict started. Omar El-Dabea, external relations coordinator at the Egyptian Association for International Investment, said, “About 15,000 Syrian business owners—representing almost 30 percent of the total in Syria—have come to Egypt since 2011, with value of investments ranging between $400 million and $500 million” (averaging between about $26,000 and $33,000 per business launch).
Indirect investment by Syrians, through Egypt’s stock market, is easily tracked thanks to reporting requirements of the Egyptian Exchange: It surged to a traded value of $32 million in 2012, up from $12.6 million in 2011, according to Medhat Nafei, the general manager of the Egyptian Exchange—during a period when the EGX 30 Price Return Index was off by half. The value of Syrian money in the EGX dipped slightly in 2013 before nearly doubling in 2014 to $57.6 million, again outpacing the index. Syrian investments were mostly allocated to real estate, financial services, and telecom.
Khaldoun Al-Mowaqaa, director of the Syrian Businessmen’s Group–Egypt, said Syrian investors are boosting employment in Cairo by starting labor-intensive small- and medium-size enterprises that rely on technical expertise rather than heavy industry with its smaller labor force relative to output. Egyptian labor law requires that 90 percent of employees at any business be Egyptian citizens.
The coalition, founded in 2013, brings together Syrian investors in the country to help refugees, especially entrepreneurs, Al-Mowaqaa said. It developed a trademark, “Made by Syrian Hands in Egyptian Lands,” which, he said, “has become something that consumers look for.” He cited Egypt’s broad market, proximity to other markets that understand Syrian industries, and the long historic ties between the two countries, which from 1958 to 1961 together formed the United Arab Republic, as reasons Syrian businesspeople choose to relocate to Egypt. As much as 80 percent of Syrian investments overseas are in Egypt, he said. When market research indicated that Egypt imported millions of pairs of women’s shoes per year, Syrian investors filled a niche and have since opened 36 footwear factories in the country.
“Syrian investors have a great experience in entrepreneurship with a high quality in their technical education,” said El-Diwany, and “depend on strong communication channels with other Syrians based in Africa and Europe to strengthen their external trade and open new markets for their Egyptian products.”

Every Object Tells A Story: Interview with Curator Alexandra Cunningham Cameron
In the rarified world of collectible design, one would be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of or worked with Alexandra Cunningham Cameron. A literature graduate, the prolific 38-year-old Miami native began her professional career in 2007 at Design Miami, only two years after Art Basel Miami Beach’s sister fair first opened its doors to high-profile collectors. Since then she’s worked as Design Miami’s creative director, as a public-design consultant for the Miami Design District, as an independent curator and critic in the U.S. and Europe, and as the editor in chief of the arts publication Miami Rail. In September 2018, Cunningham Cameron took on a slightly less peripatetic role as curator of contemporary design and the Edward and Helen Hintz Secretarial Scholar at the storied Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — the United States’ national museum for design where her first exhibition will debut in February 2020. On the heels of the opening of the institution’s first Design Triennial, PIN–UP caught up with Cunningham Cameron to discuss the culture of curating. On the heels of the opening of the institution’s first Design Triennial, PIN–UP caught up with Cunningham Cameron to discuss the culture of curating.
What are your responsibilities as the Cooper Hewitt’s new contemporary design curator?
The Smithsonian is the largest museum and research complex in the world, and its primary missions are to provide an educational resource as well as to preserve and advance our cultural heritage. So my role encompasses the classic responsibilities of a curator: I research and write, I develop and produce exhibitions and programming at the museum, and I acquire work for the permanent collection. I’m also involved in thinking through strategies for Cooper Hewitt to connect with the wider world.
How did your background prepare you for your role as a curator?
I definitely have a less-than-traditional background for a museum curator, since most come through a scholarly track. Mine is more eclectic: I studied literature, and right out of grad school I started working with Design Miami. I basically called them and would not take no for an answer. I’d never formally studied design or design history — that was less common back when I was in school — but I always had a love for material culture. My parents would drag me to every antiques roadshow and thrift store, so I became obsessed with the stories of objects, going through people’s homes and estate sales, imagining how this table was set in a dining room and who sat in that rocking chair. The provenance business was extremely seductive.
Do you see pieces of design as narrative objects?
Yes. Objects tell a story, especially within the walls of a museum. They are players and sometimes protagonists in human history; they reveal human desire and signify what a particular culture or community values. The absence of objects also tells a story. I think curating and collecting are instinctual — we find ourselves organizing, arranging, storing, and protecting objects we love, and even those we don’t love. We struggle to reject material possessions. You understand a person immediately by what they surround themselves with.
Speaking of collecting, you now have a role in deciding what the U.S. national design museum officially believes is the most important work being made today, which will be displayed on a national stage for as long as the Cooper Hewitt exists. That’s a lot of responsibility.
Yes it is! The curators meet frequently to have conversations about the intellectual framework of the collection, the audience, what’s happening in design, and recent discoveries and observations. Everyone has different perspectives about how the collection should be built, how it should evolve, and what it represents. We also have a committee that reviews all the acquisition proposals. So a lot of consideration goes into constructing this collection spanning 30 centuries. But at the same time, I don’t think museums today benefit from thinking of themselves as engaged in ongoing conquest and acquisition — we have a more dynamic role to fill. For the purposes of scholarship and public access, it will increasingly become less important where specific objects are stored. Cooper Hewitt completed a mass-digitization of its 200,000 plus objects in 2016, and is constantly enriching online content. Most other museums in the world are creatively strategizing around how to open up access rather than define territory. How we tell stories between these objects and collections is what’s important.
Do you ever think about the fact that in 50 or 100 years, objects you picked are going to be shown and the curator will say, “This is what was happening in the 2020s.”
Or perhaps she’ll say, “Why did that curator buy this giant commode shaped like a pineapple? What were they thinking?!” (Laughs.) A collection is a living thing. It’s imperfect and strange, profound, informative, and, in some ways, a leap of faith. But a collection is more than a time capsule. I see my job as creating constellations of meaning by contextualizing and juxtaposing objects. Of course a curator needs to be aware of how objects produced meaning when they were made, and the contemporary relevance of those same objects inspires us to acquire and preserve them — but the more pressing concern for whoever is curating 100 years from now will be how those meanings have changed. I’ve fallen in love with conservation: conservators are fascinating thinkers and problem solvers; their job is essentially to stop time. A romantic exaggeration, but essentially true. They are responsible for enabling the future to engage the past. Not just by slowing material decay, but by anticipating what will be needed to make things work as technologies evolve and become obsolete. And that leads to assembling a network which reveals the interconnectedness of our world — not just the iPhone, but everything required to plug and play: adaptors, apps, user demographics, instructions for repair, a video interview with the designer explaining technicalities, intentions, and context. I leave meetings with Cooper Hewitt’s conservation team having a deeper understanding of all aspects of an object’s creation and use, but also a hyperawareness of my own place in the world, my own body, how time is passing. Work in museums happens at a different intensity — it’s more of a slow burn.
A greater awareness of the long term.
Yes, as a contemporary design curator, you’re trying to make the best possible decisions to document what’s happening now, but the job is not fortune telling. I look for things that open a dialogue with the past and will speak to how human desire changes over time. And there are so many things!
There are indeed.
Can I have my own warehouse in New Jersey? Because I have a lot of ideas! (Laughs.)

Boost and Propel Awards
The goal of the Boost and Propel awards is to accelerate meritorious protocols to produce efficient, high quality, safe research and to disseminate the results.
Boost and Propel awards are clinical research grants that award Clinical Research Unit (CRU) resources such as research space, specialized research nursing, imaging assistance (i.e. DXA,CV core), and research nutrition resources to ICTR investigators, based on merit and willingness to be actively monitored by the Translational Research Evaluation Committee (TREC) for study-specific milestones. All projects are monitored on a quarterly basis for attainment of milestones.
The goal of these awards is designed to accelerate meritorious protocols to produce efficient, high quality, safe and disseminatable research. They are unique within the ICTR in that awards are for CRU resources and applicants undergo a rigorous, NIH-style, multidisciplinary review process via the TREC review committee.
Boost- For junior investigators, first-time R01 awardees, K awardees, and KL2 scholars to generate pilot data for a larger grant submission or to supplement research funds for the K project.
Propel- For established investigators who are performing early stage clinical trials, deep phenotyping studies, or studies that address Maryland health priorities. Propel can augment resources of a funded project or provide resources for small pilot and feasibility studies.

- Application is discussed at the committee meeting, culminating in a vote.
- Committee chair sends letter to the investigator informing of the committee’s decision, and includes any relevant comments.
Approved: The protocol is fully approved by the committee to proceed with the use of CRU resources.
Once a study is scientifically approved by TREC, the following will occur:
- Letter of Agreement. The PI must:
- Agree to have prescribed study milestones monitored
- Adhere to reporting requirements
- Understand that failure to meet milestone objectives or reporting requirements may result in termination of support.
- Resources: In addition to CRU resources that are requested, the TREC may suggest that the PI or study team access other ICTR resources to help successfully complete the project, including but not limited to, special populations consultation, nutrition consultation, recruitment consultation, navigator consultation or biostatistical consultation.
- An Award letter enumerating CRU resources awarded will be sent to the PI. (Renewal of resources will be determined annually).

Rosie's had a great time on Sunday with Ysolda. Stacy and I were up early sprucing up the store and then after putting the final touches on our afternoon tea spread--Stacy arrived with her vintage Fiesta tea set in tow! At noon we hopped over to 30th Street to meet Ysolda, fresh from her arrival in New York and visit to The Point the previous evening.
After we hit La Columbe and Di Bruno Brothers for a much needed pick-me-up and lunch-y goodness we settled in Rittenhouse Square to chat until the event at 2:00. It was great to just relax with Ysolda, who is totally as down-to-earth and lovely as she seems on her blog.
After arriving at the shop we got all the goodies out and set the water on for tea, yes, even in the 90 degree heat. Turns out she prefers coffee so Stacy bested my painstakingly chosen tea choices from Steap with a gift of a pound of coffee beans from La Columbe.
Ysolda unpacked all of her lovely samples and we set out unsigned copies of her newly released book, Whimsical Little Knits, available at her website or at Rosie's Yarn Cellar.
She also modeled her new Fluevog's for us. She's not really that tall, I was just directed to be sure to get the shoes in the photo so I'm sort of half on the floor.
Okay, I couldn't resist it. The animals are really stinkin' cute.
Customers began to arrive and samples began to get passed around the room as everyone wanted to try on the sweaters and hats--did I mention that it was 90 degrees outside? It didn't even stop Wendy and Ysolda from modeling their versions of Little Birds for the camera.
And then we had to do the Ishbel photo shoot--and this wasn't even all the versions we saw that day!
We were sold out of books (don't worry--she brought us more!) and ready for dinner by the time we locked up at 6:00--only an hour over the scheduled end of the event, not bad! We headed to my favorite Philly dinner spot, Tria, and enjoyed some more knitting talk and excellent drinks and eats 'til we all found our exhausted ways home.
A great sucess.
As a quick note: We have all the samples from Whimsical Little Knits, and more from her website, until after knitting circle tomorrow night so be sure to come out to Rosie's from 6-8 tomorrow and bring your knitting. Ysolda may also be stopping by, so if you missed us on Sunday...
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
And, whats more, we currently have her beautiful collection of patterns, Whimsical Little Knits, in stock. It will be available in the shop all week -- grab a copy and Ysolda will be happy to sign it for you on Sunday!
Come on down, have some tea (feel free to impress us with your dairy free cookie/cupcake/scone/muffin making prowess!), ask questions and show off your knits using Designs by Ysolda!
See you there!

How do Indian elders greet?
Nod or bow your head as a gesture of respect when initially meeting an Indian elder. It is not appropriate to touch or shake hands with an Indian woman, particularly a Muslim woman. Greet the eldest person first (generally male unless the eldest is female).
How do you greet someone from India?
- In many parts of India and during formal occasions, it is common for people to greet with the traditional Hindu greeting of “Namaste” (‘I greet the divine within you’).
- A common gesture when greeting is pressing the palms together with the fingertips facing upwards (i.e. in a prayer position).
How many types of greetings are there in India?
Mainly there exist 6 types of pranam which are ashtanga, sashtanga, panchanga, dandavats, namaskar, and Abhinanda.
How many types of greetings are there?
The three different types of greetings around the world.
Can you hug in India?
Public display of affection a.k.a PDA is regarded as unacceptable in India. Kissing and hugging in public is a taboo. However, same-sex physical contact is allowed. In 2007, when actor Richard Gere kissed Shilpa Shetty in an AIDS awareness event in New Delhi, a warrant for his arrest was issued by an Indian court.
Can a Hindu kiss?
The truth is that kissing — whether in private or public, light or dark, across the sexes or within them — entirely unmodified by physical environment or historical era, has no precedent or sanction in Indian life.
How do Muslims greet?
Greet a Muslim as they would greet one another. Use the phrase “As-Salam-u-Alaikum” (“Peace be unto you”). You might also choose to use the longer greeting of “As-Salam-u-Alaikum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh” (“Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and his blessings”).
What are the two types of greeting?
1) Adab. 3) Bowing. 4) Cheek kissing. 5) Elbow bump.
What are two greetings examples?
- Good morning.
- Good afternoon.
- Good evening.
- It’s nice to meet you.
- It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Who invented kiss?
The Romans were the ones who popularized kissing, spreading the practice to most of Europe and parts of North Africa. “They were devoted ‘kissing’ missionaries,” Bryant said. For them, a kiss wasn’t just a kiss. There was the osculum, which was a kiss of friendship often delivered as a peck on the cheek.
Do Indian people use toilet paper?
Squat toilets in India don’t use toilet paper but rather water to rinse areas that come into contact with wastes. Because toilet paper typically isn’t used, a spray hose or a bucket of water is the only source.
How many wives can a Hindu man have?
The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 It is illegal for a man to have more than one wife. Islam is another religion followed by a large number of people in India and it also has its own set of laws.
Which is the most common greeting in India?
Namaste is the most commonly used greeting in India. Very often, when people realize you are an Indian, they fold hands and greet you with a Namaste. However, when nothing in India is universal, how can our greetings be. Here is a list of some of the commonly used greetings across India.
How is a formal engagement conducted in Kerala?
A formal engagement is then conducted from the church in the presence of the church officer and a vicar. It is called as ‘manasammatham’. A prayer is also conducted and the couples are blessed by the vicar. They exchange rings and it is recorded in the church register.
Which is the correct greeting after Namaste in India?
After the more popular Namaste greeting, Ram Ram and its various variants are used in most of the Hindi speaking belt to greet each other. In Awadh and Mithila you hear Sita Ram, Sita Ram. At areas of Bihar and Jharkhand, it becomes Jai Siya Ram.
How does a Christian wedding work in Kerala?
However, in Kerala, the ceremonies are simpler compared to those of the other parts of India. Christian weddings also have a betrothal. In the custom of the Syrian Christians, soon after the families show their interest in the marriage, the bride and groom meet each other. When decided, they inform the concerned church and obtain a sanction.

This is amazing news: NASA is sending a mission to Europa! If everything goes well, a robotic submarine may be landing on Jupiter's moon—the world that scientists believe is the most likely to contain life in the Solar System—by 2030, a real space odyssey. This has the potential to change the world.
"Attempt no landings there," the aliens said at the end of 2010, a warning that Adam Steltzner—the guy who spent nine years of his life putting the rover Curiosity on Mars in the most spectacular NASA mission since the Apollo program—doesn't care about. This is his dream mission and the dream mission of every space scientists now at NASA, as he told me back in August 2012, after Curiosity's successful landing on Mars.
Adam: The site in the solar system that we believe that is the most likely to contain life today is Europa. I want to lead a team to go under the ice, into the ocean of the moon Europa.
Me: Get a submarine up there.
Adam Steltzner told me then that he has already spent night after night sharing beers, drawing on a whiteboard, and talking about the potential mission scenarios with astrobiologist and planetary scientist Kevin Hand, one of the biggest experts in this moon.
Priced around the same as Curiosity, he said this mission "will be very challenging, just there right amount of challenging, tough, like we like it, like our nation need it. We need something to strive for. And Europa is that," he says.
This is it, yes. Despite the alien warnings, we are headed into the oceans of one of the most intriguing worlds in the solar system. And while it's not a manned mission, it still sends chills down my spine just to think about the possibilities.

What is seamless flooring?
When talking about seamless flooring in the commercial and industrial flooring arena then epoxy resins or pumped polymer systems are used to create a completely seamless floor covering. Other additives such as quartz aggregates, coloured aggregates, PVA flakes, aluminium oxide or even rubber can be added to create different finishes. Obviously colour can be added for decorative effect.
Resin vs Concrete?
Resins add a protective layer to any floor which can also contain additives for texture or colour. This protective coating ensures a long life for the floor, makes them relatively dust-free and easy to keep clean.
New floor vs refurbished?
It is vitally important that the substrate of any floor be sound. Respol have decades of experience in preparing, repairing and saving old floor slabs and treating them to a new seamless skin saving thousands of pounds in removing old substrate and reinstating.
What are pumped screeds?
Pumped screeds are cementitious systems that can be coloured and textured to suit the environment. They also act as a floor levelling system.
Hygienic flooring for food & pharmaceutical applications
Epoxy resin, polyurethane or polymer seamless flooring is ideal for areas where hygiene is important. Unlike floor tiles that have joints or welds for dirt and bacteria to gather and grow, seamless flooring can also contain anti-microbial additives that block the spread of bacteria and disease.
Anti slip flooring
Seamless resin flooring is ideal where a non-slip surface is specified. Hardwearing aggregates such as quartz, available in a wide range of different colours, are added to the base resins and curing agents to create a tough non-slip coating. Ask RESPOL about their Reegrip CQ system.
Anti static flooring
Industries that use sensitive electronic equipment such as hospitals and laboratories will normally require a static dissipative or conductive floor. Each is created by the simple use of additives in the resin base allowing for a seamless solution.
The combination of traditional terrazzo and modern polymer technologies offers huge flexibility over polished concrete as it demonstrates high early strengths ensuring that it can be polished sooner than most concrete. Ask RESPOL about Reetop TZ.
Rubber safety flooring
Ideal for children’s playground areas, coloured rubber granules are mixed with polyurethane binders to create a durable, flexible and extremely hardwearing surface. Ask RESPOL about their Reetop FS system.
Resin flooring vs tile?
Resin flooring is seamless. Without the joints or welds associated with tile and rubber systems for bacteria and dirt to collect, or the potential for impact damage that can occur, a resin floor is easier to maintain and easier to keep clean.
Outdoor flooring and pathways
Driveways, paths and terraces can all be treated to ‘resin bound gravel’ systems that are non-slip and tough. Compared to loose gravel, RESPOL’s Reetop RC is resistant to oil and weeds plus is easy to keep clean.
Seamless resin flooring is ideal for decorative applications because a huge variety of coloured aggregates or PVA flakes can be added to the resin base to create the desired effect. These aggregates can also control the finish ie smooth or textured, anti-static or anti-microbial.
Chemical resistant flooring
Seamless resin flooring is inherently chemical resistant so long as good house keeping is followed. For example, if there is a solvent spillage that is not cleaned up when it happens but left for hours, then it will mark the floor. Specifying which chemicals your floor is likely to come into contact with, helps us specify the correct resin and hardeners to use for your application.
Health & safety markings plus demarkation lining
Resin flooring can be manufactured in just about any colour and so integrating health and safety markings and demarkation lining is a standard part of our service. Company logos can also be laid into our floors. For a demonstration please visit our Virtual Flooring section here.
How long does a floor take to cure?
It greatly depends on the conditions and temperature but as a guide the majority of our floors will be ready to receive foot traffic in 24 hours and be fully chemical cured in 7 days. Our Reeflo system however is ready to use in just 2 hours from application.
How to clean resin flooring
Although there are numerous ways to clean a resin floor, the best way is to apply a light degreasing solvent, leave it to work for 5 or 10 minutes and then remove and clean with a ‘Scrubber Vac’.

Deb - from Moline, IL
Your cake could have fallen because of the baking powder, a new can of baking powder is often stronger than an old can that has been sitting around the house for a few months. When too much baking powder is added to a recipe, the air bubbles produced by the leavening get very large very quickly, before the cake structure has developed, causing the cake to collapse. Keep in mind that the general baking powder to flour ratio is 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup flour.
To test your baking powder’s effectiveness mix 1 teaspoon baking powder with 1/2 cup hot water. The baking powder should bubble immediately.

This is a special article kindly written for us by John Romanelli, MD. It's an interesting look at the James Bond films and some of the similairities. A big thanks to John for sending this in to us!
Ian Fleming made his famous character identifiable by a number – 007. Thus, it would be interesting to take a look at the Bond films by the numbers.
As Die Another Day is in production, in this fortieth year of the cinematic superspy, it becomes interesting to look at parallels in plots and locales. Granted, some of these associations are mere coincidence – many of the settings of the original movies came directly from the words of Fleming. On the other hand, many of the post-Fleming creations bear remarkable similarities to preceding films in the series.
If you start by doubling the number of the film (counting on the Eon-produced films), there are amazing coincidences:
Dr. No (1), and From Russia, With Love (2): the continuation of the Bond vs. SPECTRE angle – Blofeld even speaks of revenge for killing their agent, Dr. No.
From Russia, With Love (2), and Thunderball (4): again, the continuation of the SPECTRE angle. This came after the Goldfinger plot hiatus.
Goldfinger (3), and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (6): the first duplicate locale – major portions of both films are set in Switzerland.
Thunderball (4), and Live and Let Die (8): both films are set in the Caribbean – Bahamas and “San Monique”.
You Only Live Twice (5) and The Spy Who Loved Me (10): the plots are eerily similar – the provoking of war between the superpowers. Coincidence, or lack of original material to base the stories on?
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (6) and For Your Eyes Only (12): The Tracy story. Bond avenges Tracy’s death in the beginning of For Your Eyes Only, killing a bald, wheelchair-bound villain we presume to be Blofeld.
Diamonds Are Forever (7) and A View to A Kill (14): both films are set partially in California.
Live and Let Die (8) and Licence to Kill (16): both are set in the only fictitious locales ever used in the series – San Monique and Isthmus City. Also, David Hedison plays Felix Leiter in both movies. And the scene (LTK) in which Felix is maimed by the shark comes directly from the novel Live and Let Die.
The Man With the Golden Gun (9) and Tomorrow Never Dies (18): both are filmed in Thailand. In fact, the bay in Bond and Wai Lin sailed was near Phuket, where the Man With the Golden Gun was filmed.
So, will Die Another Day employ some parallels from The Spy Who Loved Me? Perhaps – does a former rival agent (XXX, Falco) become an unwitting ally?
There are other interesting parallels in the series as well. As we dissected the number 2, consider the second movie, From Russia, With Love: both Venice and Istanbul were reused as locales, in Moonraker and The World Is Not Enough.
As the number 007 is a prime number, perhaps we should look at the prime numbered movies. Each of the prime numbered movies introduce a unique locale:
From Russia, With Love (2) – Croatia (Zagreb, where Bond meets Red Grant)
Goldfinger (3) – Latin America (the pre-title sequence, although one could argue “Isthmus City” is also Latin America). Also, Kentucky (Florida was reusued in Licence to Kill).
You Only Live Twice (5) – Japan
Diamonds Are Forever (7) – The Netherlands. Also South Africa, where Bond does not travel, but scenes are set.
Moonraker (11) – Brazil – the only use of South America. Also the only foray into outer space…
Octopussy (13) – India
Goldeneye (17) – Russia. Also Monaco (if you don’t count Never Say Never Again).
The World is Not Enough (19) – Azerbaijan.

Lee Chizmar had to tell a story about his piece of America – namely the Lehigh Valley -- but he wasn’t using words or pictures in his performance space. He was using the real thing – local farm-fresh ingredients -- and labeling his nine-dish menu creation, “The Craft of Lehigh Valley.” For the Bethlehem chef, it was a night for him and seven of his chefs to shine in his first solo dinner presentation at the historic James Beard House in New York’s Greenwich Village.
The four-story, village townhouse was the private home of cookbook author and teacher James Beard, said to be the inspiration behind Julia Child and a mentor to professional chefs and food enthusiasts around the world. Following his death in 1985, the home was transformed into a center for the culinary arts and a “performance space” for visiting chefs.
“Cooking at the James Beard House is something we work and strive for as chefs,” Chizmar said, of his appearance on June 19. “When you think of how much history is behind the House, how many incredible chefs from around the world have cooked there before you, that in itself is the grand prize. It’s something that doesn’t make you nervous but anxious. It goes with the job. It was a moment between the first and second course that it settled in where I actually was.”
Chizmar, 38, is chef/owner of the award-winning Bolete (pronounced bo-leet and Latin for ‘a wild mushroom’) restaurant located in a 200-year-old farmhouse at 1740 Seidersville Road, Bethlehem, Salisbury Township. The eatery has been featured on the Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate” and has garnered several “Best of” awards in the region for its farm-to-table new American offerings.
Its menu isn’t the only thing home-grown. Chizmar is a 1994 graduate of Salisbury High School and a 2000 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He’s been mentored by some of the food industry’s finest, including Bradley Ogden and Jeremy Sewall in San Francisco, where he was introduced to farmers’ markets and “perfect produce” peddled by local farmers. He came under the wing of Michael Schlow in Boston, where he was introduced to New England’s bounty of the sea.
Cooking at the James Beard House this time around was Chizmar’s second opportunity. In 2010, he cooked there as part of a group of noted American chefs featured in the “Harvest to Heat: Cooking with America’s Best Chefs, Farmers and Artisans” cookbook release.
Despite being on crutches and in a leg brace for dislocating his knee some weeks earlier in Tae Kwon Do, there was no way Chizmar wouldn’t go on. During a four-hour, behind-the-scenes livestream on the JBF Kitchen Cam, he and his crew could be seen preparing the Lehigh Valley menu featuring the best in home-grown ingredients. There were oysters, mushrooms, green garlic soup with snails, house-smoked trout, pepper-crusted beef carpaccio, and pork shoulder with beet barbecue sauce. Each course was complemented with local craft beer pairings from ShawneeCraft Brewing Company, Smithfield Township, Monroe County.
As for his 70-plus dinner guests – including wife/Bolete general manager Erin Shea, daughters Colton 3 ½ and Cashin, 4 months, parents Will (formerly with the Wood Co.) and Linda Chizmar, and younger sister Sage – Chizmar said it seemed like everyone had a different favorite course.
“There was a feeling that each course was a labor of love,” said Victoria Jordan Rodriguez, director of house operations and house events for The James Beard Foundation, which maintains the James Beard House. “As the evening progressed, the thing that struck me the most was the freshness of each component, from the absolutely perfect strawberries on the fluke ceviche, to the plump green peas with the scallop (and what a righteous bronzed crust on that mollusk!), to the huckleberries in the dessert and everything in between. When describing the Anson Mills grits in the pork course, Chef Chizmar said even the corn was just milled this week.”
Izabela Wojcik, director of house programming for the James Beard Foundation, schedules more than 200 events a year for the six nights a week that the venue is open. Among her responsibilities is overseeing proposals from organizations regarding appearances, private fundraisers, and also staying abreast of the latest in restaurants, chefs, and food trends.
Since 2006, Susan Ungaro has been president of the James Beard Foundation, carrying out its mission “to celebrate, nurture, and honor America’s diverse culinary heritage through programs that educate and inspire.” Among her accomplishments has been the expansion of its culinary scholarship program, and serving as host for its traveling national food festival, Taste America. In September 2012, she collaborated with the U.S. Department of State to develop the “Diplomatic Culinary Partnership,” a new initiative to elevate the role of culinary engagement in America’s formal and public diplomacy efforts.
Ungaro was responsible for bringing the annual James Beard Awards Gala to Lincoln Center. Established in 1990, the awards are the “Oscars of the Food Industry” in recognizing culinary professionals for excellence and achievement in their fields. Next year’s ceremony and gala reception will be held for the first time outside of New York City at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Footnotes: Susan Ungaro was a classmate of mine from our days in communications at William Paterson College in Wayne, New Jersey. She went on to be editor-in-chief of Family Circle magazine for 27 years. I applaud her and the staff of the James Beard Foundation for bringing our Lehigh Valley to the table/stage!
Chizmar’s staff included: Nate Leonard, sous chef; Mario Juarez, lead line chef; Cody Rohrbach, Alex Moccia and Matt Lykens, line chefs; John Glagola, pastry chef, and Israel Marcona, Extern.
Pennsylvania farms included: Liberty Gardens, Coopersburg; Teprovich Farms, Germansville; Beets Workin’ Farm, Oley; 14-Acre Farm, Lehighton; Epic Acre Farm, Mertztown; Eckerton Hill Farm, Hamburg; Oley Valley Mushroom Farm, Oley; Primordia Mushroom Farm, Lenhartsville; Profeta Farms, Readington, New Jersey, and Keepsake Farm, Nazareth.

Overnight trade financing
What is overnight financing?
Overnight financing is a fee that you pay to hold a trading position overnight on leveraged trades, it is essentially an interest payment to cover the cost of the leverage that you use overnight.
Overnight financing charges are applied to positions that have no set expiry date. Financing charges reflect the cost of borrowing or lending the underlying asset and are charged at RBA IOCR (or equivalent interest rate) +/-2.5% on the total value of the position. These charges are competitive in order to keep the cost of trading low.
When does the charge apply?
The daily financing fee will be applied to your account each day that you hold an open position (including over the weekend).
You will not pay a finance charge on futures trades as they already have the cost of carry built into the spread.
Financing on long positions
You will pay an overnight financing charge of RBA IOCR +2.5% (or equivalent interest rate).
In this example, you buy 1000 CFDs on UK Company ABC at $4.35. The trade is doing well and the price has increased to $4.50 at the end of the day but it is still some way from your target price of $4.80. You decide to keep the trade open overnight.
As it is a long position, you will pay an overnight financing fee to keep the position open, this fee consists of RBA IOCR +2.5% . In this example, the RBA IOCR rate is currently 3%.
The overnight financing is then calculated as:
(1,000 CFDs x $4.50 price) x (RBA IOCR +2.5%)) / 365
$4,500 x 5.5% / 365 = $0.68
$0.68 will be debited to your account.
*Note: US and EU stocks are divisible by 360 rather than 365.
Financing on a short CFD position
On short positions you may receive an overnight financing fee of RBA IOCR minus 2.5% (or equivalent interest rate). However, please note there may be instances when a financing fee is charged to you, when the base rate is at an exceptionally low rate.
For example, you sell 1000 CFDs on Australian Company XYZ at $5.00. The price falls to $4.50 at the end of the day, but it is still some way from your target price of $4.20. You decide to keep the trade open overnight.
As it is a short position, you will receive an overnight financing fee to keep the position open. In this example, the current RBA IROC rate is currently 3%.
((1,000 x $4.50) x (RBA IROC -2.5%)) / 365
$4,500 x 0.5% / 365 = $0.06.
$0.06 will be credited to your account.

This is an edited extract from Chapter 11…
When Jim was eleven, he was frequently up to no good, but his worst crime in those days was conning the visiting Yank soldiers with cold tea sold as whisky. At the Christian Brothers College, he worked hard, particularly on his best subject, English, which was taught by a Mr Duncan. As Jim recalled, ‘He was my favourite when I was eleven years old because he made it so obvious that I was his special pupil, the teacher’s pet.’
With Christmas approaching, Mr Duncan sent a note home to Jim’s mother asking if she would she like her James to come for the holidays to his home at Junee. Duncan’s own son, Peter, was Jim’s age, so the two boys would be ideal playmates, particularly since the Duncan family owned a milk bar. ‘And so off I went for the holidays, trusting in my favourite authoritarian for the promised malted milks and vacation fun, but it turned out he was something I didn’t understand.’
What Jim didn’t understand was that, just before his twelfth birthday, a cruel paedophile would change the course of his life. ‘He was a homosexual sadist and a few other things into the bargain, and I was a long way from Mumma and home at the time.’
For four days the trusted adult subjected Jim to agonising depravity that left the boy crying himself to sleep at night. The teacher’s son seemed oblivious to the visitor’s plight, and so skilled was the father that it was Jim who was stricken by fear and guilt – guilt that he had done the wrong thing and that if anyone found out, his mother would disown him and he would be sent to prison. This teacher knew the game well.
At dawn on day five Jim managed to escape, running along a dusty road that seemed to lead nowhere. A weighty shroud had settled on the boy’s heart. As Jim reached a long, deserted stretch of railway line, the sound of an approaching train reached his ears, and when it slowed he managed to scramble onto a platform under the huge milk tanks.
He lay there in the dirt and noise and cried until he thought his heart would stop beating. He wished it would. He had never before been so afraid and so ashamed. Fortunately, the train was heading south; after clinging to it for three hours, Jim was able to scramble off when it reached the outskirts of Albury.
Jim ran towards the nearest road. In time he found himself listening to an elderly woman but not hearing or understanding anything she was saying. She led him to her car, which was idling nearby. Somehow the gentle woman was able to elicit his name and his mother’s phone number. By evening an uncle had arrived to collect the runaway.
Jim never did tell his family what had happened. He couldn’t bear the thought of being taken from his beloved mumma or being sent to prison. Soon after, he punched a woman in the head in Carlisle Street, stole her handbag and lost all interest in school. Life was different now.
After spending a few months dodging English classes and the Christian Brothers’ strap, Jim’s uncles conspired with Don, his much older brother who was doing well in a large printing factory, to get Jim an apprenticeship. Ever since the Junee secret had burrowed its way into his brain, Jim had become increasingly difficult to manage. His temper was as short as his attention span, and it was only a matter of time before the confinement and constraints of clock-on, clock-off factory life became unbearable.
Out of school and work, Jim split his time between reading Oscar Wilde and The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam under a dinghy at the beach and getting into trouble around the pubs at night. One cool afternoon, on his way to the corner shop, he passed a woman leaning on her front fence. He knew who she was – she was notorious in St Kilda – so when she asked if he would run an errand for her, he enthusiastically agreed.
‘This was HER!’ he recalled later, ‘the most beautiful and most famous of all the local madams! Wife of public enemy number three in the triumvirate of Frederick William Harrison (the Frog), Norman Edward Bradshaw (Boofhead) and his own illustrious self, Robert David Charles Rebecca. Between them they managed the protection, baccarat, SP bookmakers and horse trainers, all who paid weekly to have themselves feel “safe” in Melbourne. They were the big three, and here was Mrs R actually talking to me and asking me to do something for her. Oh boy.’ Jim was ‘back in a flash clutching beer, cigarettes, potato chips for HER! Imagine how my little tail wagged when she invited me inside.’
The big house was dark in the late afternoon light and it took Jim’s eyes a minute to adjust. Poppelia invited him into the kitchen, and when she offered him a glass of beer, nothing could have been more exotic for the young boy. He looked about excitedly for working girls, but except for Poppelia the place was empty: too late for the criminal members of the Painters and Dockers’ Union, who came in every day for a liquid lunch, and too early for the regular girls to show up for work.
Poppelia Rebecca introduced herself to Jim somewhat formally, given the circumstances, and in return he told her his name was ‘Jim, Jim McNeil’.
‘There,’ she said, ‘we’re almost old friends already, aren’t we, Jim.’
After drinking the glass of beer and then a brandy, the boy’s head was spinning. Hopelessly smitten, he soon discovered that Poppy and nature were conspiring at that very moment to awaken him to the delights of puberty. ‘How I shivered and shook and trembled, wondering what the hell was happening to me,’ Jim remembered. ‘And afterwards she couldn’t have kept me out of that house with garlic! Soon all my pimples had gone away! But I never went away from my Lady Poppelia.’ For the first time since the event with his trusted teacher, the weighty shroud seemed to lift, lightening his spirit.
Poppy not only gave Jim his first taste of sex. As he recalled, over the next few weeks she ‘gave me other new tastes in the form of different drinks, bennies, snow, plus one or two other items quite unmentionable’. Bennies are Dexedrine tablets – powerful amphetamine psychostimulants that produce increased wakefulness, energy and self-confidence – while snow typically refers to cocaine, although it is sometimes used to describe heroin. Within six months Jim’s life revolved solely around his Lady Poppelia. ‘Without Poppy I could have no drink, no pills, no sex, no thrills at being allowed into the same house with Freddie Harrison, the killer.’
Harrison affectionately called Jim ‘the Kid’, gave him money and took him at dawn in his big Hudson car to listen to horse trainers eagerly volunteering the best tips. Jim enjoyed the fear that Freddie always educed from people in his presence. ‘It was good being Freddie’s “kid”, almost better than being Poppy’s little sweetheart.’ The only ambition he felt now was to grow up to be just like Freddie Harrison and Boofhead and Big Bob Rebecca. ‘The Rebeccas owned half a dozen brothels, a few beer halls, a couple of dud racehorses, and me.’
Poppy’s business was a thriving enterprise, with ten girls working a zone from Inkerman Street to the beach. ‘They’d lumber the mugs back to Rebecca’s, get their work done, sling Poppy her wack of the money and off again. After work they’d all come back for a party starting from midnight and going till about nine or ten o’clock next day as a rule.’ Big Bob Rebecca would play guitar with Claudie Zooker, and Cokie Hal Coleman and the girls would demand that Little Jimmy sing them their favourite song, ‘If you can’t tell the world she’s a good little girl, don’t say nothin’ at all’.
The underworld of St Kilda and Melbourne was full of characters in the fifties: Jack the Crooner, Kitchener Hull, Up the Lane Jack, Big Percy Neville (before Boofhead shot him dead), Bobby Walker and Tom Foggerty, Big Jack Twist, and Pretty Dulcie Markham – the brothel owner they called ‘the angel of death’. The women in this rogues gallery were as infamous as the men. As well as Pretty Dulcie, they included Beryl the Biter, Pretty Sally and Scarface Stella, who, according to Jim, was a lesbian sadist ‘with a stock in trade so amazing I’ll never divulge it’.
The criminals who frequented the Rebeccas’ brothel and beer house adored the kid. He would tell yarns that had them hanging off every word. In return they would dress him as Hollywood film star Alan Ladd and put a real gun in his hand. Propped up on the bar dressed in the cowboy costume of Whispering Smith, the latest Ladd film, Jim would slap his chaps and draw the pistol on the gangsters as if fighting it out in the heat of a shootout. Nothing had prepared him for the power and confidence he felt when he held the heavy .32 revolver in his hands.
The Painters and Dockers gangsters helped Jim earn good money by getting him work on the docks and on short-haul cargo ships. By the time he turned eighteen, Jim had been going to sea on and off for a couple of years ‘but always returning like a pigeon to Poppelia’. It was on such a return visit that he met Beverly.
‘One night, for reasons of ego and ambition, I took a gun to settle a difference with someone,’ and the so-called difference was indeed settled. All did not run like clockwork, however, with Jim’s deadly plan seriously compromised by the appearance of two eyewitnesses. Jim knew that one, a young male friend, would keep his mouth shut out of loyalty or fear, but the other, an attractive blonde girl, was a different matter because he didn’t know her. She had seen Jim shoot and leave the victim for dead.
Heading for Poppy’s place, Jim knew he was a gonner and that it was just a matter of time until he was arrested. He hugged Poppy, poured a drink and waited ‘for the Jacks to arrive telling me that I’d been identified by a blonde girl’. He waited and waited but, inexplicably, the police ‘never lobbed’. The girl, when interviewed about the shooting, had told police that she had not seen anything much at all. In truth, she had not only seen the shooting at close range but had also heard her companion address Jim by name.
The victim was taken off the critical list after a few weeks in hospital and eventually released. Justice having been served in that peculiar way of the underworld, Jim and the victim agreed to let the past stay in the past and get on with their lives. ‘I forgot to worry any more about it,’ Jim recalled. However, the blonde witness stayed in his mind, both for her beauty and her unfathomable decision to protect him from the police. Then one night when Jim was sitting in a local coffee lounge, a loud female voice declared, ‘Well, it’s you! And who are you planning to murder tonight?’ It was her.
Shocked and delighted, Jim invited her to join him and learned that her name was Beverly. They drank coffee for hours while he told her stories and she lectured him on the evils of violence and crime. ‘I really only remember one other thing that she said on that night,’ he recalled. When he explained that he needed to play up a bit to get anywhere, she disagreed. ‘I am all you need to succeed,’ she told him. ‘In this town or any other.’ He was hooked.

The Buffalo Sabres are not the only slumping team in the NHL these days.
Oftentimes the very thought feels impossible. A look at the standings, which is getting harder and harder to do, shows that other teams are bursting into flames in tandem right now.
Montreal is 3-5-2 in its last 10 games and is buckling under the pressure of having a monolingual head coach. Florida has gone 3-4-3 in its most recent outings and is still tied with Washington (COACH KILLERS!) atop the Southeast Division thanks to a whopping 10 loser points. Edmonton is an ugly 2-7-1 and has taken to maiming its own players during pregame warmups.
The Kings, meanwhile, have already had a eulogy written for them on The Classical and they actually won a freaking game.
Morose, it seems, is the word of the week in the NHL. On Thursday, a hapless Sabres team lost in Winnipeg, 4-1. Buffalo wasn’t alone. Seven of 10 games featured a team scoring one goal or less. In one of those games, a lone goal was good enough for the win. The victors, St. Louis, hosts the Sabres tonight and has gone 20-3-3 at home this season.
There are plenty of bad teams in the NHL. The numbers make that a statistical certainty. Someone has to suck, and right now the vacuum is setting up shop in downtown Buffalo. On paper there are plenty of teams as bad, or worse, than the Sabres, but the calamity brewing here is something different.
It sure feels different. As someone trapped in the vortex of Buffalo sports, this level of chaos feels pretty special. Worst Team in a Decade? Game after dull game, filled with boring hockey and bland soundbites, with little change on the horizon. To say the Sabres have lost the script is to assume they read it in the first place.
Buffalo, it seems, is Whammyville, USA.
Take a moment to read that article on The Classical. (Dammit, read The Classical already.) In a beleaguered city like Buffalo, talk of curses and bad luck is an easy trap to fall into. We search for reasons for the pain, anything to explain it away. After all, there has to be a meaning for all this.
The idea of the Whammy, and the psychological ideals behind it, is worthy of some consideration. Reputation, learned helplessness and Joseph Heller quotes. Sounds pretty good to me. Buffalo is not a cursed town, but it certainly is a place where the bad thoughts creep in quickly. And for good reason. The history of letdown and failure is there, and it’s easy to slip into bad habits and ugly memories.
Does all this bad mojo from the crowd, resonating from city limits and beyond, make for an atmosphere doomed to fail? I have no idea. It probably doesn’t matter. Fans don’t lose hockey games, but they can get bummed out pretty badly if the team they like is a trainwreck.
Buffalo’s whammy problems are something much bigger than Lindy Ruff’s System and Darcy Regier’s signings. We’d like to think one sports championship would change the landscape in Western New York, but that’s not true at all. Sure, morale would spike a bit — and for good reason — but the political corruption and stagnant economy and the numbing realities of life will still be there after the victory parade.
The Whammy isn’t about life in Buffalo, not in this sense. Most accurately applied, it’s the bad mojo in the Sabres locker room and the inability to break out of a winless funk. This team, which was once considered fun to watch, is an aimless disaster right now. They look hopeless, and maybe they might even feel a little helpless right now.
It’s a learned helplessness, though, that’s for sure. Ryan Miller, a player who has struggles with his own Whammies for sure, says change needs to come from within. Given the nature of this team and the emotions we’ve seen over the last few weeks, that’s a tall order.
‘Feel what you say, man,’ hopes everyone rooting for Buffalo blue and gold. Then spread the plague of positive thoughts. Before it’s too late for this season and beyond.
Hey, Whammies are tough to shake. Don’t we all know it. Every Slocum has an Arthur Baron. In sports, the Slocums and Barons are simply high-profile struggles in futility.
Sidney Crosby has The Whammy on Ryan Miller, Dominik Hasek once had The Whammy on everyone and, right now, everything else in the world has The Whammy on the Buffalo Sabres. Given enough time, all of that can change. Even that last one.
It may not feel like it now, but maybe this team simply chooses to learn the wrong things.
Contact Ryan on Twitter.

10/26/2011Missouri Appeals Court Sides with Red Light Cameras
Missouri appellate court panel headed by judge with family ties to industry upholds red light camera use.
A Missouri appellate court judge with family ties to the red light camera industry yesterday led the charge to save photo ticketing programs from legal attack. In a per curiam decision, Eastern District Presiding Judge Robert G. Dowd Jr and two colleagues upheld the ticket issued by American Traffic Solutions (ATS) to motorist Mary Nottebrok in Creve Coeur on August 11, 2009.
"Ordinance Number 315.140 did not prohibit 'running a red light;' rather, Ordinance Number 315.140 prohibited the presence of a vehicle in an intersection when the traffic control signal for that intersection was emitting a steady red signal for the direction of travel or orientation of the vehicle," the decision stated in defense of Creve Coeur's photo enforcement ordinance.
An ATS camera photographed a car belonging to Mary Nottebrok near the offramp for Interstate 270 and Olive Boulevard. ATS demanded payment of $100 based on the alleged violation of an ordinance whose legality is under question because the Missouri legislature has refused to authorize the use of photo enforcement in the state.
Nottebrok moved to have her case dismissed on the grounds that the ordinance is not just unauthorized, but it also conflicts with a state law requiring points to be applied to the license of anyone convicted of running a red light. Most photo ticketing programs outside of Arizona and California do not assess points because of the extra work and cost involved in identifying the driver of a vehicle.
This argument follows reasoning found in a 2005 memo from Stinson Morrison Hecker, ATS's own law firm. A March 2010 state supreme court ruling (view opinion) struck down Springfield's red light camera program over its administrative hearing procedures, noting that red light camera violations are moving violations -- which is to say, they are not like parking tickets. The Eastern District Court of Appeals, led by Judge Dowd, saw red light camera tickets as exactly like parking tickets.
"Consistent with the Supreme Court's reasoning in Kansas City v. Hertz Corporation, Missouri law provides that a municipal ordinance can impose liability on a vehicle owner if another person parks or operates the vehicle in violation of the ordinance," the decision stated.
The court presumed Creve Coeur's ordinance was valid on its own terms.
"[State law] required the assessment of points for any moving violation of a municipal ordinance not specifically listed in the statute," the decision conceded. "However, the plain language of Ordinance No. 315.140 indicated that the city intended a violation of the ordinance to be classified as a non-moving violation."
Judge Dowd was previously with the family's law firm Dowd and Dowd, along with his cousin, Edward L. Dowd Jr, who was a paid advocate for automated ticketing. Edward Dowd now serves as a spokesman for Missouri Families for Safer Roads, a public relations front group funded entirely by ATS. Edward Dowd is also a registered lobbyist for ATS.
A copy of the ruling is available in a 300k PDF file at the source link below.

Since she appeared on MTV’s ‘Ex on the Beach’ last year, Ashleigh Defty has been thoroughly enjoying her time in the public eye. She describes her time after the show as ‘mental’, being offered numerous TV appearances and other exciting opportunities (which are yet to be revealed!) As well as being a fully qualified personal trainer, she spends her time collaborating with beauty and fashion brands on Instagram, beauty blogging, and jetting off across the globe. With a social media following of 300k (and still growing!), she likes to stay looking and feeling her best with a little help from our most popular treatment- LVL. Below she shares how they are the perfect lash treatment for beauty influencers like herself.
What happens in a typical day in your life?
I get up about 8am go to the gym on a morning, then when I’m home I reply to all my emails and Instagram messages (I receive a lot being an influencer.) Then I post my images for Instagram (which takes a lot of time- it isn’t as easy as it seems!) It sounds like I have an easy life but it’s honestly so hectic, I travel a lot so packing and planning is more or less every day. I can’t even do my personal training at the moment because I am never in the one place!
Extra 20 minutes in bed or more time to get ready?
Extra 20 mins in bed, easy!
Best tip on how to take the perfect selfie?
Lighting and confidence is KEY! Don’t be afraid to release your inner sass girls!
Which beauty products do you use without fail on a daily basis?
Astral Body moisturiser, Nouveau Lash and Brow Conditioning Serum, Rimmel lip liner, Victoria’s Secret Gloss & Olay Face Moisturiser. And last but not least LVL! Otherwise my lashes would be dead.
Do you feel pressure to look good because you have such a big following?
Not at all!
Can you describe your daytime make-up routine?
Lip liner, lip gloss, moisturiser, MAC bronzer to contour, NARS concealer for any spots/blemishes and that’s it.
Can you describe your evening make-up routine?
If I’m having a big night out I will go all out: a nice smoky eye, lots of contour, lip liner and loads and loads of gloss.
Would you describe yourself as high maintenance or low maintenance?
The lowest of the low maintenance.
Why did you choose LVL?
I’ve previously had SVS and I absolutely loved it but I was brunette at the time. Now that I’m blonde, I like looking as natural as possible which is why I am loving LVL because it is stunning on your natural lashes. I can’t fault it, it’s just amazing!
What is your favourite thing about the treatment?
How natural and pretty it looks, and the fact I legit never have to do anything to my lashes now.
Who else would you recommend LVL to?
EVERY SINGLE FEMALE AND EVEN MALE OUT THERE!
Best opportunity/experience since Ex On the Beach?
Oh my God I’ve had so many! I’m so grateful and lucky for every opportunity I’ve been given, even those I’ve had to turn down. I was offered to go on This Morning but I had to turn it down- that was devastating! I got to go the NTA’s. I’ve walked a red carpet, that’s insane! The number of followers I have across social media as well- thank you so much!

Carl Edgar Blake II might be the world's first celebrity pig farmer. A big profile in the Times last month introduced him to people who might not regularly keep up on their Iowa pig news, and last night he hit The Colbert Report. Why's Baker famous? Well, the programmer turned farmer is trying to raise the world's most delicious pigs, cross-breeding Chinese and Russian varieties of the animal to create the Iowa Swabian Hall, full of fat and flavor. As you can see in the clip, they're also pretty cute.

It is no secret that the world does not revolve around a central point. We, as the people who have the power to decide the fate of the planet, are subject to the whims of the universe. There are multiple spheres of influence in the universe: the physical sphere, the spiritual, and the divine. This is where humanity is at.
We have a choice in this matter. You can either believe that there is no one supreme in the physical universe or that the universe is still at it’s mercy. Most people choose the latter.

Recently there was a report about the Sony breach which stated that as “a result of this pervasive and devastating attack, combined with other breaches, cybersecurity is no longer a CIO problem, but now a CEO and board level problem, given potential for business disruption.” The InformationWeek DarkReading March 11, 2015 report entitled “6 Ways The Sony Hack Changes Everything” included as number “2. Cybersecurity risk is squarely a board and CEO issue”:
Boards and executives are going to have to deal with cybersecurity risk like they do with legal, regulatory, geopolitical, or labor risk. It has to be central to the way business leaders think, and a planning consideration for those keeping sensitive information or transacting commerce online.
CEOs must have the same view of the digital realm, working with the CIO and Chief Information Security Officer [CISO], to better understand the risk.
Also number “6. Business executives are now much more aware of cybersecurity risks” includes this insight:
Savvy CEOs and concerned outside board members are well-suited to ask tougher questions about cybersecurity risk more frequently, which will make their organizations more resilient to the risk of sophisticated attackers, or at least be more prepared when they experience a full-blown cybersecurity failure.
Insurance costs will increase as identified in number “5. Cybersecurity insurance and its coverage just got more expensive”:
To date, cybersecurity insurance has focused on covering the risk of data loss, including the cost to notify clients whose data was lost during a breach. The focus has been on that facet of cybersecurity risk, not total business interruption or full-blown disaster recovery. Sony Pictures probably changed the expected loss number, which will likely have a ripple affect across the industry, driving up cybersecurity insurance premiums.
Here’s the complete list of all 6 Ways Sony impacts everything:
Whether Sony should get the credit or not is beside the point, the critical point is that Boards and CEOs need to learn more and work more closely with CIOs and CISOs.

An Update On Final Space (2018-): Season 3
Olan Roger has given an update on the animated series Final Space and its third season.
In a Reddit post, Olan Roger, the actor, writer and creator of the animated comedy-series has shared some news for the upcoming season. Rogers points out that the new season could be released earliest 2021 in February. It would be released on Netflix International and in the USA it’s either Adult Swim, HBO Max or TBS. So, this is mostly up to the network.
They’re halfway in on the writing of the series, on episode 6. He writes that there’s a more serialized story and it would close with an ending that sets up a crazy fourth season. From what it seems, the third season will be even crazier, funnier and more heart-warming.

More on Proactive Positivity
I’ve written many times about what I call Proactive Positivity, actions you can take to help yourself to be happier, such as: expressing gratitude, smiling, helping others, exercising, spending time with people you like, looking for silver linings, being present, seeing the glass as half full, celebrating your progress, laughing, having fun, pursuing your passions, working in a job you love, having hobbies, and investing in experiences vs. stuff.
In an article by Jane Brody, the wonderful, long-time, personal-health columnist for the New York Times, she wrote something similar. Reporting on the work of, among others, Barbara Fredrickson, a psychologist at the University of North Carolina (and author of a book called, quite apropos to my thinking, Positivity), Brody writes of accumulating “micro-moments of positivity,” to result in greater overall well-being.
Negative feelings activate a region of the brain called the amygdala, which is involved in processing fear, anxiety, and other emotions. Positivity activities help one bounce back from life’s inevitable stresses.
Brody provided this list of activities Dr. Fredrickson and I and others endorse to foster positive emotions:
- Do good things for other people.
- Appreciate the world around you.
- Develop and bolster relationships.
- Establish goals that can be accomplished.
- Learn something new.
- Choose to accept yourself, flaws and all.
- Practice resilience.
- Practice mindfulness.
In a related article, Brody provided a similar list of skills to help people feel happy, calm and satisfied in the midst of a health crisis. They are useful in helping people feel happier, more calm, and more satisfied in all situations:
- Recognize a positive event each day.
- Savor that event and log it in a journal or tell someone about it.
- Start a daily gratitude journal.
- List a personal strength and note how you used it.
- Set an attainable goal and note your progress.
- Report a relatively minor stress and list ways to reappraise the event positively.
- Recognize and practice small acts of kindness daily.
- Practice mindfulness, focusing on the here and now rather than the past or future.
As always, I recommend choosing one of these you and focusing on it for the 21 days it takes to create a habit. I’m sure you will be glad you did.
What new happiness habit are you going to adopt? Please join the conversation with your comments…

I remember a story I read in a Sherry Dew book years ago. Mind you, it really was years ago and my memory is what you would expect from a 47-year-old-mother-of-a-two-year-old.
She recalled an experience driving in the dark with her niece. The niece was fascinated with the beams of light coming from the headlights. She asked her aunt something about how the light beams were able to shine through the darkness. While she stumbled over an answer, her niece exclaimed something like, "oh, I get it, the light is stronger than the dark."
I've always loved that. Light is stronger than dark.
And today, I really, really, REALLY need to remember that.
It's been a tough week. I took a red-eye on Sunday night to the east coast. With very little sleep, I arrived at the office in the afternoon. Have you ever known someone - at work, church, among friends, family, or anywhere, who really just didn't like you?
I have such a someone in my life. And this week we confronted the situation. Today we went to lunch, and that someone had a long list of complaints about me. When we finished, I understood why this person didn't like me because based on what I just heard, I didn't even like myself.
It's tough...really tough to get some negative feedback...especially when you don't believe it. Apparently, I emanate negative energy, among many other not-so-nice things to all those around me. At least according to this person.
So now I am vascillating between the denial and anger steps and can't seem to get over that bridge to the next steps.
But I do know a few things...
positive is stronger than negative
light is stronger than dark
On that note, happy valentines day. And remember...
love is stronger than hate

A great post on the Scottish GENES blog by Chris Paton about the PRONI opening on 30th March can be found here. A must for all interested parties. Well done, Mr Paton!
S&N Genealogy Supplies have brought out another update, here. Obviously, most of the reading concerns their own services and goods, but I would urge you to have a quick look all the same.
And the latest issue of BBC History Magazine is out now - see here. Oh, and the same guys have just published their Out and About guide to April, too.
Well, we might as well stay with the BBC History website for their weekly History Headlines, and a look at classic hoaxes on this, April Fools' Day! No one seems to know when the April Fool thing began (see here and here) - but a 'Top 100 hoaxes' can be found here.
If you have ancestors involved in the cotton industry, then you'll want to have a read of this piece by Audrey Collins.
And here's more TV & radio to look out for in the week ahead.

What do Canadians Wear? Turbans.
The image to the left, accompanied by the hashtags “Non-integrative” and “Invasion” were featured on a popularized poster found at the University of Alberta. Along with other debasing language, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, the poster is characteristic of a not uncommon belief that non-white Canadians should conform to European-Canadian culture, particularly when it comes to how they dress.
Some Canadians took to Twitter to express their response to the poster.
“Turban Eh!” was organized on the University of Alberta campus as a response to the anti-Sikh posters placed around campus. It had hopes of educating students and community members about the Sikh faith and the significance of wearing a turban.
Toronto's "Turban Up!"
The Turban Up Event was held in Yonge-Dundas Square in May of 2015. The event was organized by the Sikh Youth Federation as an attempt to expose Toronto-residents and Canadians to the culture around turban wearing. The leaders viewed it as a means of eradicating some of the stereotypes facing turban-wearing Sikhs. The colourful turbans in this video reflect a powerful initiative and a unique Sikh-Canadian experience. Culture sharing is an important feature of Toronto and other major Canadian cities.

Canadian Mark Ceolin drops the text books and picks up a camera shortly after coming to Shanghai in 2003. [Shanghai Daily]
Academic and 18th-century theater buff, documentary maker and TV producer, spin doctor and marketer, business leader and even moose unveiler, Canadian Mark Ceolin is no stranger to taking on different roles during his time in Shanghai.
Chairman of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Ceolin's immersion into life in Shanghai came as an unintended inspiration when he was writing a book shortly after arriving in Shanghai in September 2003.
"I was originally working on a book about 18th-century theater reform and I was sitting in my office in the apartment and finally realized this is ridiculous," he says.
"Here I am in Shanghai and I sit here writing a book about 18th-century Europe, I think it's time to get out of this office and do something."
In the six years Ceolin has been in Shanghai, he has launched Red Gate International, a cultural communications company with a broad range of expertise in public relations and marketing as well as TV and documentary production and corporate videos.
Since it began life in 2005, Red Gate has been part of a number of successful Canadian-Chinese productions including "Four Dreams" which documented the development of the Olympic movement in China.
The eight-episode show, screened on ICS last year, is one of two shows the station has put forward to vie for an Emmy later in the year.
Red Gate's other works include producing corporate videos for a range of high-profile multinational companies, a HIV/AIDS education video to be used in China and also a co-production for Shaanxi Province Television Station looking at a Chinese cultural arts festival in Canada.
The production house also produced and shot the special features and handled all the Chinese production for the Canadian/Chinese film "Iron Road" starring Peter O'Toole, Sam Neil and Sun Li.
Ceolin, with his business partner Claire Zhu, led a team that looked after almost every aspect of the Chinese side of the production including local casting, logistics and translation.
It would seem a long jump from the world of an academic with a niche interest in 18th-century theater to film production.
But Ceolin has always extended his interests well beyond the supposed ivory towers of academic life.
He has written and directed his own plays and run his own multicultural theater company.
The Campiello Theater Players toured nationally and Ceolin says it gave him skills that would serve him well later in Shanghai.
Gaining funding to put on shows, operating on tight budgets and deadlines and organizing every aspect of a show from the performance to tickets, marketing and publicity pushed the professor from the world of academia to that of entrepreneurship.
After growing up in Canada's version of Detroit, the car manufacturing hub of Windsor, Ceolin moved to Toronto where he started a 13-year road to a doctorate.
He taught theater arts and inter-cultural studies at Ryerson University in Toronto as well as taking several sojourns overseas during his studies.
One such adventure included living in Japan where he studied the ancient Japanese theater art forms of Noh and Kyogen.
His time in Japan included studying intensely for three months to perform a two-man traditional Japanese theater show with another foreigner.
"I think the Japanese thought it was cute that two foreigners were performing their ancient theater," Ceolin says.
He also followed his wife, Karen, an architect, to Rome, Italy where her firm was responsible for the renovation of the Canadian embassy.
For Ceolin, an Italian Canadian, it was a return to his roots, and a chance to learn Italian.
Ceolin has lived in Rome several times, and he was later awarded a research fellowship by the Italian government to translate a collection of 18th-century treatises.
No longer delving into theater's obscure history, Ceolin's concerns are of a much more business-like nature in the commercial world of Shanghai.
After again following his wife on what was to be a one-year stint in Shanghai, Ceolin has settled into life here and has contributed to both the cultural and business fabric of the city.
He was one of the founders of Shanghai's first Fringe Festival in 2006, which aimed to give a boost to the city's young performers.
Last year he was one of the key organizers of "Hello Canada," an inaugural three-day street festival on Yandang Road.
The pedestrian street was transformed into a celebration of all things Canuck, with Ceolin unveiling a large moose as part of the party.
He has brought his skills in event management, public relations and marketing to the Canadian Chamber, which he has headed up for the past four years.
But life in China has also blessed his family with a daughter, Mattea, 4, who the Ceolins adopted from Guangdong Province when she was nine months old.
"She is the love of our lives and none of us can imagine what life would be without her and we are thankful that we all found each other," he says.
The Ceolins have another child, Sebastian, 9, and Ceolin says his major project at the moment is building a surprise tree house for the children before they return from Canada in mid August.
Profession: Media and communications professional/academic
Self-description:Energetic, creative, intense
Favorite place: Children's field in Hongqiao. It's where AKS (Active Kids Shanghai) holds their practices and games. I coach my son's soccer team and it is good to find an open space with grass where you can run around freely. It offers my family quality "together" time.
Strangest sight: After living six years in Shanghai, nothing seems strange anymore. In fact, things I used to think were strange - such as people walking around in pajamas, or bathing in the street - are becoming more and more a rarity.
Worst experience:Every morning, sitting in the traffic on the Yan'an Elevated Road. I live in Hongqiao and work on Jiangsu Road. As everyone knows, Jiangsu Road is one of the worst bottlenecks in Shanghai. I never know exactly how long the trip is going to take but I often feel like getting out and walking instead of sitting and simmering.
Motto for life:"Keep doing your best." There are times in everyone's lives, when you get tired and start to feel under-appreciated, that you feel like it would be easier to throw in the towel. It is at these times that my motto comes in useful.
How to improve Shanghai:
I love Shanghai. I love the energy. I love the people. There are things that could improve any place. It's easy to say: "Hey! Why don't you improve!" I like to believe that when I one day leave Shanghai, I will have left it a little something of myself that is a "positive" drop in the bucket of change. I think that each one of us is a "thing" that could improve Shanghai.
Advice to newcomers:Smile a lot. Be friendly. Always assume that people will be kind - and most times they will.
(Shanghai Daily August 5, 2009)

There are many benefits for mums-to-be who visit a qualified ante-natal massge therapist. Here are some reasons why:
Studies done in the past 10 years have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly altered, leading to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health, when massage therapy was introduced to women’s prenatal care. In women who received bi-weekly massages for only five weeks, hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol (“stress hormones”) were reduced and dopamine and serotonin levels were increased (low levels of these hormones are associated with depression). These changes in hormone levels also led to fewer complications during birth and fewer instances of newborn complications, such as low birth weight. The evidence points strongly to maternal and newborn health benefits when therapeutic massage is incorporated into regular prenatal care.
Reduction of swelling
Oedema, or swelling of the joints during pregnancy, is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure on the major blood vessels by the heavy uterus. Massage helps to stimulate soft tissues to reduce collection of fluids in swollen joints, which also improves the removal of tissue waste, carried by the body’s lymph system.
Improvement of nerve pain
Sciatic nerve pain is experienced by many women in late pregnancy as the uterus rests on muscles of the pelvic floor and lower back. The pressure of the uterus spreads tension to the muscles of the upper and lower leg, causing them to swell and put pressure on nearby nerves. Massage therapy addresses the inflamed nerves by helping to release the tension on nearby muscles. Many women have experienced significant reduction in sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy through regular massage.
Other potential benefits of pregnancy massage:
Reduced back pain
Reduced joint pain
Reduced muscle tension and headaches
Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles

NDT parameters for fatigue damage identification in structural elements
The service duration of structures like reinforced concrete bridges and wind turbines depends on the fatigue of structural components due to respectively traffic loading and wind action. In order to realistically evaluate fatigue damage, Non-Destructive Testing methods would be a real asset. In this project, ultrasonic sensor networks shall be used to detect and monitor fatigue damage in reinforced concrete of bridges subjected to traffic induced fatigue loading. Fatigue damage may be identified and analysed from microcracking in the bulk concrete material due to fatigue cracking in steel reinforcing bars that are usually the determinant fatigue vulnerable element in reinforced concrete. Fatigue damage determined from NDT shall be related to fatigue action effects.
Keywords: Non-Destructive Testing, ultrasonic methods, monitoring, reinforced concrete, fatigue.

EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland)
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
From 01.02.2017 to 31.01.2020
PhD director: Prof. Eugen Brühwiler (EPFL)
The private PhD defence is scheduled for Thursday 26 November 2020.
The members of the jury are:
- Dr Miguel Fernández Ruiz, EPFL, Switzerland (President of the jury)
- Dr Alexis Kalogeropoulos, Princeton University, USA (reviewer)
- Dr Ernst Niederleithinger, BAM, Germany (reviewer)
- Prof. Ian F. C. Smith, EPFL, Switzerland (reviewer)
- Prof. Eugen Brühwiler, EPFL, Switzerland (PhD director)
The general objective is to correlate NDT parameters (e.g. ultrasonic velocity, attenuation, fibre optic) to fatigue related phenomena and parameters to identify any fatigue damaging process (i.e. the formation of microcracks in concrete, slow microcrack propagation in steel elements) in structural elements and components at the earliest possible stage.
Novel ways to analyse ultrasonic data in terms of damage shall be developed and imaging techniques shall be extended to structural field applications. This includes lab investigations using ultrasonic, acoustic emission methods and fibre optic in the laboratory to measure microcrack formation in materials due to fatigue, numerical simulation of observed phenomena on the micro level of material behaviour to investigate the existence of a fatigue endurance limit and application of the developed technology on an existing wind turbine tower and bridge deck slab at the most fatigue prone zones.
- Laboratory testing using ultrasonic, acoustic emission and fibre optic methods to measure microcrack formation in materials (concrete, steel rebars) due to fatigue.
- Numerical simulation of observed phenomena on the micro level of material behaviour to investigate the existence of a fatigue endurance limit.

Comando XO Ocean
"Fashion Changes over Time but Comandon Cognac Remains Strong after 202 Years!"
The House of Comandon is a very different cognac company as we focus all our energy on setting trends rather following trends. We experiment and revolutionize. We believe in being different, and sometimes being different is the right thing to do.
Some of our differences include:
* Single Batch Cognac: we do not produce the same cognac day after day, and year after year but instead let the nature be and we make unique batch for each of our production lot. Once it is drunk there is no more, like it is done with high quality wines.
* Single Cask Cognac: we believe in individualism, that is a unique cask is like a person, each one is unique and somethimes even better than a blend.
Patrick and Franck Vigneron, The Comandon’s Master Cognac Makers, hand-selects the finest cognac from less than 1% of the casks they review. The result of this scrupulous selection process is a single cask cognac selection which is unequalled. 'Nil Sine Labore' [nothing without work] is our company motto since 1821.
“One of the 12 hottest spirits in the USA
a profile better balanced than a valedictorian’s extracurricular activities
perfect synchronicity between young and mature cognacs
well-honed skills developed by the House of Comandon, founded in 1821 and ever-appreciated”
The Tasting Panel Magazine
“Very complex and intriguing. Exceptional”
Beverage Tasting Institute
“One of the Best Spirits! Skip the stuff endorsed by celebrity musicians
and pick up a cognac you won't see on TV, like Comandon”

November 25, 2012 in Malware Analysis
Seasoned malware analysts/reversers/crackers move along – you already know this stuff
Analyzing malware is always challenging as there are a few dozen if not hundreds different ways to detect the virtual environment plus other tools used by reversers during dynamic or in-depth analysis – most of these can be easily picked up by malware looking for process names, registry keys, or using one of the undocumented, or semi-documented bugs/features of VMs (usually snippets of code producing different results when executed on a real CPU vs. on a virtual CPU).
This short post describes a few ways how to hide VM (main focus on VMWare) and tools – by hiding their files, processes, services + associated with them registry keys/values.
Changing VM settings
It has has been described quite well here.
Hiding Processes only
When the HideToolz is active, the processes marked for hiding are not visible in a Task Manager and can’t be found by normal process enumeration functions.
This is what HideToolz sees (processes marked with an asterisk are hidden)
And this is what Task Manager can see (Process Explorer as well)
Hiding Files, Folders, Processes, Services, Registry entries
When it comes to hiding more stuff, one can use help from the good ol’ Hacker Defender rootkit by HolyFather.
The rootkit uses a configuration file that allows to specify what we want hidden in the environment and that includes:
- services and their associated registry entries
- registry keys/names/values
To set up the Hacker Defender one needs to edit/change the default configuration file into sth along these lines:
[Hidden Table] hxd* vmu* vmt* vmw* tools* procexp* ollydbg* [Root Processes] hxd* vmu* vmt* vmw* tools* procexp* ollydbg* [Hidden Services] HackerDefender100 vmu* vmt* vmw* procexp* [Hidden RegKeys] VMware, Inc. Sysinternals [Hidden RegValues] vmu* vmt* vmw* [Startup Run] [Free Space] [Hidden Ports] [Settings] Password=infected BackdoorShell=cmd.exe FileMappingName=_.-=[Hacker Defender]=-._ ServiceName=HackerDefender100 ServiceDisplayName=HXD Service 100 ServiceDescription=NT rootkit DriverName=HackerDefenderDrv100 DriverFileName=hxdefdrv.sys [Comments]
The new configuration file can be now loaded:
And from now on browsing the folders, files, registry keys, names, values and processes, services lists will be available only to processes listed in ‘root processes’ section.
Example: what Regedit sees before installing the rootkit:
and after its installation
What Task Manager sees before
and after rootkit installation
Obviously, the configuration I provided above is far from being perfect. The VM-specific strings are all over the place inside the registry, so we need to do a bit more of a home work. It is also more than likely that your environment uses different paths and tools.
It would be ideal if VM product developers allowed to completely hide the tools and the environment from the guest OS by e.g. using simple randomization of names, windows titles, processes’ names etc. – a simple technique used for years by many antirootkit tools e.g. XUETR and GMER.

When a National Organization has Chapters who require their own payment gateways to accept new member dues, dues renewals, event registration fees, donations, store purchases, etc., we can setup each Chapter with their own MemberLeap account and offer our Chapter Management option to sync select Chapter data up to the National Organization's account allowing National Admins an opportunity to view select data across all Chapters and broadcast email communications to all members across all Chapters.
The National Organization is required to designate at least one National Admin to provide first line customer service support for the Chapter Admins and members both during the initial setup stage as well as ongoing support.
The Chapter's current member data (limited to one file (CSV, XLS, or TXT) with one tab with up to 50 fields/columns) will be converted and loaded into the database. There is an extra setup cost for files with more than 50 fields wide, and this fee is determined after analyzing a sample of the data.
Default MemberLeap Configuration
We will configure each Chapter's account with our basic default settings; however, we will configure each Chapter's member plans and membership billing to accommodate the data syncs.
In order for each Chapter to offer online payments for new member dues, renewal dues, event registration fees, donations, and store purchases, each Chapter will need to have a credit card merchant account or PayPal account. Supported payment gateways are included in this package. Please visit our Payment Processing webpage for a list of supported gateways; otherwise, there will be an extra cost to integrate with a new provider.
Chapter Admins will have full access to an extensive online help system and various training videos to help them learn how to use our software.
The designated National Admin(s) will serve as the first line of support to assist Chapter Admins with their MemberLeap accounts.
Google Analytics and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Since SEO is a complex topic, an effective long-term optimization strategy can be time-intensive. We can tailor this strategy to each Chapter's unique needs. We will set up the new template website with Google Analytics as well as the initial search engine registration.
Optional Basic SEO Service - Thisincludes a simple click and click-through report as well as keywords and search phrases being used on each of the webpages.
Optional Advanced SEO Analysis - We will provide a detailed monthly report of the search engine rankings with recommended strategies to improve your results as well as an ongoing monthly search engine ranking report.
$1,100 Basic - It will be branded to the National Organization's logo and colors and include each Chapter's name.
$1,400 Advanced - It features custom graphics and is available for an extra setup cost.
Platinum MemberLeap Plan includes the extra $15 monthly fee per Chapter to cover maintenance and customer support as well as basic upgrade requirements. This monthly fee applies if another MemberLeap plan is selected.
Monthly MemberLeap Plans and Fees
Each plan includes online payments and various features and benefits.
These monthly fees include backups and data sync fees.
This pricing is only available when the National Organization pays for the total collective number of all Chapter records, and the pricing is based on the number of Chapter records requiring usernames and passwords.
Alternatively, if each Chapter will be responsible for paying for their own MemberLeap plan fees, a Membership Solution Consultant can provide individual pricing.

We’re not exactly sure where the heart shaped hands gesture came from it could have derived from the traditional Irish ring known as the Claddagh, or from a gang sign thrown by the notorious Gangster Disciples, or even just from these dopey ravers. But ever since Taylor Swift came along and began her reign of finger-cupping terror, no celebrity seems to be able to resist making this way-too-adorable visual signifier of affection. We can’t get too mad at serial abuser Justin Bieber, who’s young enough to still dot his “i”s with hearts (and whose Never Say Never, based on the previews we’ve seen, is practically hand-heart porn). But for all other over-the-age-of-consent celebrities, it may be time to find a new way of expressing your love for the fans who pay for your Maybachs.
heart shaped hands is a gesture in which a person forms a heart shape using their fingers. heart shaped hands are usually more popular within the young generation. Hand hearts are widely used everywhere in the world, and appear often in pictures taken by individuals and celebrities. The upside down hand heart gesture was first noted in art in 1989, when Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan created an art image of the gesture as his very first artwork named Family Syntax. Google patent Discovered by Engadget team, Google filed a patent in July 2011 that allowed Google Glass users to use the hand heart in front of any objects, and the gadget automatically recognise the object, takes a picture, and send it to social networks as a “liked” image.

MYITKYINA, Myanmar (AFP) - Thousands of mourners gathered Friday for the funerals of two young teachers who activists allege were murdered by soldiers in northern Myanmar, as the government promised an inquiry into their deaths.
Tearful wellwishers packed into a hall in Myitkyina, the state capital of war-torn northern Kachin state, to pay respects to the two women, whose deaths have sparked an outpouring of public anger and grief.
The crowd had swollen into the thousands and spilled out onto surrounding roads as service began, according to a witness at the scene who spoke to AFP by phone.
"Kachin musicians are singing songs for the girls. Most people look very unhappy and some are weeping," Awng La said.
The battered bodies of the women were discovered early this week when students visited their house in a remote village near the border town of Muse in northern Shan state, worried that they had failed to turn up for morning lessons, according to state-backed media.
They had suffered stab wounds and head injuries, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported Friday, adding that a steel blade was found at the property.
The deaths have struck a bitter chord for many in Shan and neighbouring Kachin state, both wracked by conflict between the army and ethnic minority rebels in recent years.
Myanmar on Thursday vowed to investigate the deaths and promised that any involvement by army troops - if proved - would not go unpunished.
The country's quasi-civilian government is struggling to ink a nationwide ceasefire deal as part of its reform drive since replacing outright military rule in 2011.
But decades under the iron-fisted junta and years of bloody conflict in the country's borderlands have left a legacy of deep distrust of the military, which was long accused of committing abuses with impunity.
The Kachin Baptist Convention (KBC), which ran the school where the women worked, has said it believes they were raped and severely beaten before being killed.
Images of their injured corpses have been widely circulated on social media, stirring outrage.
"I broke down when I first read the news. Now I feel despair," said Julia, an ethnic Kachin who said one of the dead women was a distant relation.
"I am campaigning for true justice," she told AFP early Friday at a sombre ceremony in honour of the teachers in Yangon.

Backstop phone conversations with emails"At some points where I would talk on the phone and I felt that we covered some important ground, I would follow up that conversation with an email restating what we said," DeLucia says.
He especially followed up on rate-lock extensions. On May 1, he locked a rate of 4.75 percent, and he didn't want to lose it. So every month he called the loan officer to get the rate lock extended. Then, he sent emails to confirm the conversations that had just taken place.
Stay in touchFor the first couple of months, DeLucia called every week or so.
"But as soon as summer hit and it was starting to get into early fall, I was calling these people every day, sending emails all the time," he says. "I guess they were incredibly busy. A lot of times, I couldn't even leave a message because the person who I was appointed to, their voicemail box was full."
He's lucky to have a desk job where he could dial his servicer, put the phone on speakerphone mode and wait (sometimes more than an hour) for a human being to pick up. He made a point to return emails immediately.
DeLucia realizes that not everyone has this kind of job flexibility.
Anticipate stupidityFrom the beginning, DeLucia stressed he would pay closing costs in cash -- instead of rolling those fees into the new loan -- so he would stay within the allowable loan-to-value ratio.
"I made this point to them on more than one occasion," he says.
Still, DeLucia's servicer rejected his refi application because the closing costs, if rolled into the loan, would put him over the loan-to-value limit.
DeLucia straightened that out, and the loan went back into underwriting for another four or five weeks.
"That was a huge hurdle -- it was a big screaming match on my end," he says.
Outlast the lenderDeLucia persevered -- through the late revelation that he would need a second appraisal (screaming match No. 2), through the blown appointments for closings and through all the lost documents and full voicemail boxes.
"I bet there's a ton of people in my position who just give up," he says. "Don't let them win."

Recently there is bus accident that happened in Tanay, Rizal but it does not stopped me to go to Sampaloc to try the Lutong Pugon - Wood Fired Pizza. Well, if you are a nature-lover, art appreciator especially when it comes to paintings and of course pizza lover! This place is very perfect for you! As to the budget, 1,000 pesos is good for 4 persons already as I estimated because their pizzas are ranging from 250 and up as well as the pastas. But do not worry, their pizza can make you "busog" even in just 1 slice only. And here are my photos:
The place is refreshing because it is also the house of Jun Tiongco- the owner of Lutong Pugon who also a painter wherein his paintings can be seen there.
So here's their menu. Sorry for not so beautiful shot.
I really tell you this pizza is so deliciouuuuuuuuuus!!! I'm sorry I forgot the flavor my Mom is the one who ordered this one. And I swear I want to come back and try all the flavors! The mozarella of the pizza is so good looking and tasty! I really like it everytime I grab a slice of a pizza the cheese is stretching!
Jun Tiongco's artwork. There are a lot! But I did not took a picture of it.
Live Portrait sketching! If you are bored you can ask for a sketch worth 250 pesos I guess. Well, these are Jun Tiongco's friends. One is my uncle (the white shirt man with black hair), and I forgot to ask the name of the other one.
But the negative side of this food/art stop is the slow serving of your order. I understand that because they are using pugon and it is not easy to cook food there. So, before you come here and you have a little patience I tell you to not starve yourself before coming here.

GARY BROWNING: MAKING PEACE
By Mary Lynn Johnson
His Russian is excellent. Grammatically better, his wife has been told, than that of many native speakers. But perfect grammar isn't what took Russian professor Gary L. Browning to Europe in 1990 with an assignment to open the first LDS mission in the former Soviet Union. A far more important qualification, Joan Browning says, was her husband's love for Russians.
"He has always loved the Russian people and wanted so badly for other people to love them too and to understand them," she says. And because he really saw the Russians as his brothers and sisters, she adds, Browning never considered them enemies.
A native of St. Maries, Idaho, Browning came of age during the Sputnik era, and he studied Russian during his second year at BYU. After an LDS mission to Finland, he traveled briefly in Russia, where "I felt very close to the Russian people and very much at home," he says. Intrigued by Russian literature and architectureand by the warmhearted people he metBrowning decided to major in Russian when he returned to BYU in 1963. Thirteen years later, after a BA from BYU, a master's degree from Syracuse University, a PhD from Harvard, and two years on the faculty at Bryn Mawr, he joined BYU's Russian Department.
Russian professor Donald K. Jarvis says that Browning was one of the first American academics to have extensive resident experience in Russia during the height of the Cold War. In 1969 Browning and his family lived in Moscow for six months while he worked as a guide for a United States Information Agency exhibit there. And in 1973 he again spent six months in Russia while researching for his PhD dissertation.
Since then Browning has returned to Russia dozens of times. "And each time I've been even further enamored of Russia," he says. "I love peoples and cultures around the world, but perhaps I know Russians best, and I really enjoy their thinking, their aesthetic sense, the tremendous human potential they have." His top-floor JKHB office is decorated with art from Russia, including a matryoshka doll set that represents Russian authors and several religious icons, which he loves for their beauty and spiritual intensity.
"My heart breaks for the difficulties Russians are experiencing," he says. "I keep thinking that perhaps most of those are behind them, and then new ones occur. So it's a very great struggle. But in many ways it's suffering that has made them what they are, made them so inspiring, so courageous, so determined, so resilientand so appealing to me and to many others."
When his mission call came, Browning had been publicly advocating a more sympathetic attitude toward Russian people for nearly a decade. During the 1980s, when anti-Russian sentiment was pervasive, he felt compelled to counter the prevailing hostility. So he founded a Utah County chapter of Utahns Against the Nuclear Arms Race, guest-edited an issue of BYU Studiesthat focused on peace, advocated peace in an article for BYU Today,lectured about Russia for the Utah Humanities Council, pursued training in peace studies, and taught a BYU course on peace.
"I was reading the American press and the Soviet press, living in America and travelling to Russia," Browning says. "On both sides there was a tremendous amount of distortion of the other's position and a willful inclination to be inaccurate and unfair in portraying the other side's point of view. And so we tried to provide information that we considered more evenhanded."
But speaking positively about Russians during the Cold War made Browning more than a few enemies.
"It took real courage to say that when he did," Jarvis says. "And just a few years later it was clear that Gary was sort of vindicated when Communism fell and he was able to go in and become the first mission president. He already had a track record of wanting to find commonalities rather than to just destroy the Russians."
For the first two years of their mission, the Brownings and their three youngest children lived in Helsinki, Finland, while their missionaries labored in Estonia and Russiawhich meant that Gary was often away from home. "He faced unique challenges at that point," Joan says. "Very little was translated, so he was trying to get materials for Sunday School lessons, plus trying to find places for the church meetings and for missionaries to live."
"Gary had to buck a lot of Russian bureaucracy," says Jarvis, who himself served as a mission president in Russia from 1996 to 1999. "I asked him how he did it, and he said, 'My motto is: Never get angry, and never give up.' He was an excellent one to be a first mission president therealways diplomatic, always unflappable. He never alienated people but eventually in many cases got his way because of his polite persistence."
Failing eyesight was another of the challenges Browning faced on his mission. Always severely nearsighted, he feared he might lose his sight before the deterioration of his eyes was stopped by leading Russian doctors. "He trusted his precious eyesight to them," Jarvis says, "and they performed some very innovative surgery. He was able to continue the mission without ever leaving. This again shows his trust in the Russian people and his willingness to take a risk."
Literature and Justice for All
Since he returned to campus in 1993, Browning's teaching responsibilities have been heavier than ever. "Suddenly we had gone from 150 students to 500 students taking Russian," he explains. "Ours is the largest undergraduate Russian program in the country, and I think its quality is among the highest as well. Partially that's due to an outstanding faculty. But even more important it's due to the returned missionaries."
Browning specializes in teaching literature classes, including seminars on Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, whose novels attract him because of their focus on moral and philosophical issues. "I think Dostoevsky has taught me more than any other author of fiction," he says. "And the work I feel is endlessly powerful and renewing and enlightening is his novel The Brothers Karamazov,which I read and refer to with enormous pleasure and stimulation."
Not surprisingly, peace remains one of Browning's academic themes. "The dream I have had is that this university would be known for its fine graduates in conflict resolution," he says. "They may be in political science, law, family studies, or any number of other disciplines, but they would have among their many areas of capability the strength of being able to address conflict from the perspective of principles taught in the Sermon on the Mount."
Indeed, Browning's sense of justice is as refined as his Russian grammar. "He's unbelievably fair," says German professor Alan F. Keele, one of Browning's longtime colleagues. "He has the most highly developed sense of ethics and right and wrong of any person I have ever met."
Browning has actually spent much of his career in the pursuit of fairness. As director and then dean of BYU's honors program in the late 1970s and early 1980s, he envisioned and implemented the change from an apply-at-entry, membership-only program to the current system, under which any interested student can enroll in an honors class, and any student who completes the requirements can graduate with honors. Browning considers his honors program work one of the highlights of his career.
Now in his second term as chair of BYU's Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages, Browning is known for his administrative integrity and diplomacy. "You can count on Gary never to sweep anything under the rug," says Keele. "If there are two sides to the issue and he's advocating one side, he will also tell you all the good parts of the other side." That integrity also means Browning holds himself to the highest standards in his teaching"He never cuts corners in his classes in terms of preparing," Keele says. "He never wings it."
And his peers trust Browning's judgment. Keele recalls, "When I was department chair and Gary was mission president, I wanted to hire some people for the Russian section. And the other Russian faculty said, 'We can't hire somebody without Gary.' And I said, 'Well, he's not herefor three years.' They said, 'Well, that doesn't matter.'" New faculty were eventually hired, Keele says, "But that shows you how much respect there is for Gary. The department just didn't want to do things without consulting him."
As other faculty rely on his clearsightedness and integrity, LDS Church departments and members of the media turn to Browning for perspective on things Russian. And he constantly works to deepen his understanding of the nation and its culture. In fact, his most recent trip to Russia was an effort to uncover the source of some LDS folklore.
During April and May 2000, Browning and BYU ethnographer Eric A. Eliason traveled to several regions in Russia, seeking information about the pre-1990 Russian "Mormons," whose existence was attested in stories widely repeated by missionaries and LDS Church members in Russia. As they visited regions where the stories had originated, Browning and Eliason found local people using the word "Mormon" but no evidence of LDS beliefs. After interviewing both religious studies experts and villagers, they concluded that in some regions the term "Mormon" has been applied to any non-mainstream religious sect. Along with Russian experts, they hypothesize that such usage arose from the sensationalized polygamy stories that traveled to Russia from the American press, especially in the 1870s and 1880sand that "Mormon" became a catchword for people with "strange" religious practices.
Though his groundbreaking mission experiences and this recent investigative trip might suggest otherwise, Browning doesn't see himself as an adventurer. He's a contemplative man, very much at home among books and icons. When he's not working or reading, he enjoys being outdoors, jogging, hiking, cross-country skiing, or caring for his garden. He typically walks or bikes to campus. And he loves his job.
"I enjoy my work. I revel in it," he says. "I just feel immensely blessed to be with my colleagues and students in this department. I can't imagine a way I'd rather spend my life."

Beginning Monday, the Naval Support Activity Bethesda (NSAB) will participate in a series of Citadel Shield-Solid Curtain training exercises at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. During the two-week training that concludes on next Friday, Feb. 17, there is a possibility for increased traffic in the base’s surrounding areas exists, especially on Rockville Pike and Jones Bridge Road.
While the Navy takes measures to minimize community disruption, there will be “times when the exercise will cause increased traffic around our installations or delays in installation access,” according to the official U.S. Navy Website.
The exercises are not related to any current threats, but rather generate realistic scenarios to practice skills and communication with local responders. These drills may take place anywhere.
Commuters are encouraged to follow along with traffic updates on NSAB Facebook and Twitter accounts (@NSABethesda) over the two-week period.
