304 Stainless Steel, Limestone
Athanasy II is a small outdoor sculpture designed for private, intimate gardens. Athanasy means deathless, or immortal. Similar to Percorso di Vita, it reveals the cycle of nature, and how life builds upon itself. This work contains a split throughout the path, so that two surfaces run alongside one another separated by a void. The void is metaphorical. Out of the void comes life, the universe; everything. The void is a necessary component of nature. The thinness of the lines makes this work delicate, with more light and air passing through it. The path also traverses the ring set upon the stone base. The base is an open limestone assembly of three parts that are interlocked. Athanasy’s stainless steel structure is cut from 12 gauge sheet, and hand-sanded to give a shimmer to its surface, enhancing its form.

Here's a quick tutorial showing how to deploy a Sinatra web application on MacOS X, with Apache web server using the Passenger plug-in.
Sinatra is a tiny web framework that seems to be gathering steam. It's claim to fame is its compact size, and a clear "no magic" approach to web development. Sign me up! Open a terminal and paste this to get started.
sudo gem install sinatra
Make and Deploy Sinatra's "Hello World!"
To ultimately deploy your app, you're going to have to make some extra folders and configuration files. Passenger is designed to deploy Rails apps, so to get Passenger to reload your changes, you have run 'touch tmp/restart.txt' in the terminal. Open the Terminal, and change directories to a good place to put your Sinatra application. Run the following commands in the Terminal to create the files and directories needed. I put everything in /Timestretch/ruby/hello/.
Put this in "config.ru". Note this file has an unusual '.ru' extension. This file is a 'Rack Up' configuration file. Ruby Rack is a middleware that sits between the web server and web framework.
Put this in "hello.rb"
require 'rubygems' if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9'
class Hello < Sinatra::Base
get '/' do
Passenger is a plug-in available for both Apache and Nginx web servers. It allows you to simply place the web application folder in the document root and serve up your web site. I used the Apache2 module.
sudo gem install passenger
Passenger will print out a snippet to paste into the Apache configuration file. This is what mine output. Don't just copy mine. Use the output printed by the script.
Put the snippet that looks something like this in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
I also made up a test domain name and put it in /etc/hosts file. This lets me visit http://hello.timestretch.com/ in the browser and test the website as if a client were using it.
Add this to /etc/hosts
Open up the /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file and add the following. This will allow you to use http://hello.timestretch.com/ in your web browser to connect and test your web application.
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Now that everything is all set, check the apache configuration file. Fix any typos or errors it reports. Then restart Apache.
sudo apachectl graceful
Now you can visit the url http://hello.timestretch.com/ in the web browser. If all went well, you will see "Hello World!"
If you didn't get the results you expected, check the error log in /var/log/apache2/error_log and reload your page.

2011 Fall Music Preview
Announcements for fall concerts were still trickling in as we went to press, but here’s what’s currently catching my eye at several key venues in the area. This is by no means an exhaustive list; rest assured that some of the most exciting shows of the year will be announced mere minutes after this issue heads to the printer. Even so, the last three months of 2011 already promise enough Broadway belters, dancefloor shakers, indie up-and-comers, and reunited faves from bygone eras to keep you very, very busy.
Tralf Music Hall
(622 Main St., www.tralfmusichall.com)
Renaissance, Tuesday, September 13: The seventies British folk/prog cult favorites reunite to perform their albums Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade and Other Stories.
Bruce Cockburn, Monday, September 26: This titan of the Canadian music scene has four decades of touring and songwriting under his belt, so expect a solid evening of political and personal observation.
Adrian Belew Power Trio, Wednesday, October 5: This virtuoso of the electric guitar made his name with Zappa, Bowie, the expanded Talking Heads, and the reconstituted King Crimson in the late seventies and early eighties.
Junior Boys, Saturday, October 15: The Hamilton electronic duo has built an international following over the last half-decade on the strength of some coolly seductive material in the vein of MGMT and Phoenix.
Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel
(310 Fourth St., Niagara Falls, www.senecaniagaracasino.com)
Soul Asylum, Friday, September 2 in the Bear’s Den: Nineties revival, anyone?
The Zombies, Saturday, September 10 in the Bear’s Den: There are those who suggest that these guys would be considered the best band of their day if those darned Beatles hadn’t existed. Key members Colin Blumstone and Rod Argent are joining forces for a fiftieth—ulp!—anniversary tour.
Liza Minnelli, Friday, September 30 in the Events Center: The woman’s a living legend, and as her CFA show a while back demonstrated, she’s as dynamic as ever in concert.
(681 Main St., www.townballroom.com)
Cut Copy, Thursday, September 15: Clearly these Australian lads have spent a lot of time poring over someone’s collection of eighties synthpop albums, but judging from the buzz they’ve garnered, what they’ve done with those influences is reaching a whole new generation.
Skrillex, Monday, October 10: Former hardcore frontman Sonny Moore has evolved into one of the hottest remixers around, with work for such diverse acts as Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, Robyn, Bruno Mars, and Rob Zombie; on his own he’s signed to Deadmau5’s label and helping to revive interest in what was once (if reluctantly) called “electronica.” Expect a mob scene.
Minus the Bear, Thursday, October 13: The masters of wacky song titles are one of many acts in this list to indulge the current fad of playing past albums in their entirety. This time it’s their debut, Highly Refined Pirates, in honor of its tenth anniversary, so get ready to yell out requests for “Thanks for the Game of Crisco Twister” and “Hey, Wanna Throw Up?”
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra
(Kleinhans Music Hall, www.bpo.org)
Idina Menzel, Saturday, September 17: Having originated iconic roles in two of the biggest musicals in recent times—Rent and Wicked—the big-voiced actor has gained an even larger audience thanks to her recurring role on Glee. (In her case, one-word titles rule.)
John Pizzarelli, Saturday, October 1: In what sounds like a brilliant pairing, the dapper jazz vocalist joins the BPO for an evening of songs by Buffalo native Harold Arlen.
UB’s Center for the Arts
(UB Amherst Campus, www.ubcfa.org)
k. d. lang & the Siss Boom Bang, Tuesday, September 27: The lower-cased chanteuse needs no introduction, but you’ll want to show up early for opener Teddy Thompson, son of (and backing musician for) rock royalty Richard and Linda Thompson, with five highly regarded solo albums of his own.
Yo Gabba Gabba Live!, Tuesday, October 4: You don’t actually need kids to enjoy the hippest/coolest kids’ show since Pee Wee’s glory days. Rapper Biz Markie and singing bedazzled-sweater-collector Leslie Hall join DJ Lance Rock, Brobee, Foofa, and the rest of the gang in the touring version.
Keb’ Mo’, Sunday, October 2, and Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Thursday, November 3: Save four bucks if you buy tickets to both of these long-established blues/rootsy acts at the same time.
(341 Delaware Ave., www.babevillebuffalo.com)
Tapes ’n Tapes, Wednesday, September 21 in the Ninth Ward: These peppy Minnesota indie rockers have a WNY connection in the form of superstar producer Dave Fridmann of Fredonia, and a devoted batch of fans worldwide.
Yuck, Tuesday, September 27 in the Ninth Ward: This young quartet (whose members hail from Britain, Japan, and New Jersey) was one of the most drooled-over bands from this year’s SXSW, thanks to their uncanny ability to channel the sound, attitude, and energy of Sonic Youth and other bands popular when they were toddlers.
George Winston, Sunday, October 30 in Asbury Hall: The king of Windham Hill makes a rare live appearance in a setting that seems tailor made for him.
Ramsi P. Tick Concert Series
Making its home once again in the Flickinger Performing Arts Center at Nichols School, the long-running chamber music series is a subscription-only affair; you can either buy one ticket to each of the four concerts ($150), or a bundle of four to distribute however you please ($175). Most of the events take place next year, but now’s the time to purchase your Ramsi Tick-ets. (Forgive me.)
Pianist Joyce Yang, Friday, September 23
Les Violons du Roy, Saturday, February 4, 2012
Pianist Richard Goode, Friday, March 2
Winner of the XIV International Tchaikovsky Violin Competition, Thursday, March 22.

Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is a conservation-oriented environmental education program for elementary, middle, and high school students. During the year each teacher tailors the program to fit his or her curricular needs. Therefore, each TIC program is unique. TIC has interdisciplinary applications in science, social studies, mathematics, language arts, fine arts, and physical education.
In the program, students and teachers raise trout from fertilized eggs supplied by VGIF hatcheries, in aquariums equipped with special chillers designed to keep the water near 50 degrees F. The students make daily temperature measurements, and monitor pH and ammonia levels with test kits. They record their data, plot trends, and make sure that the water quality is sufficient to support trout development. The fingerlings, which hatch in late October, are almost an inch and a half long by mid-January. And towards the end of the school year, students will release the fry into VGIF approved watersheds.
TIC programs have been in place all across the country for more than 20 years, and are the result of numerous collaborations between teachers, volunteers, government agencies, and local organizations like Trout Unlimited. The programs were designed specifically for teachers who wanted to incorporate more environmental education into their curriculum.
While the immediate goal of Trout in the Classroom is to increase student knowledge of water quality and coldwater conservation, its long-term goal is to reconnect an increasingly urbanized population of youth to the system of streams, rivers, and watersheds that sustain them. Successful programs have helped:
- connect students to their local environments and their local watersheds;
- teach about watershed health and water quality, and;
- get students to care about fish and the environment.
Thanks to grants and chapter fund raising efforts, we now have over 150 classrooms throughout the state, ranging from elementary school through high school.

What They Are Saying On Facebook
A prospective student posted a question in the group for first-year Leadership Fellows Program students. What follows are the responses.
Question: Tell me your favorite thing about LFP and why. (Or why you chose LFP/Eastern, whatever you want to say is fine.) go!
"Leadership Fellows Program is a great way to meet people with common goals. It is a great way to learn to lead and follow. And it helped me in particular to have the courage to get involved throughout the campus."
"Leadership Fellows Program is an awesome place to nurture leadership and help it to grow. Also, it is awesome to see such a diverse crowd be so similar and quick to make friends."
"My favorite thing about the Leadership Fellows Program is probably the whole process of gaining the knowledge of myself and of leadership techniques that I need to be the best servant leader I can be. It's also an incentive to join clubs, which are super-fun! I've met some great people and made awesome friends in this program."
"My favorite part is the fact that we have so many leaders from so many different backgrounds in one place helping each other and guiding each other to be better leaders."
"The fact that I get a grant for being a leader, something that I would probably do even if there wasn't in Leadership Fellows Program. Thanks Eastern!"
"Favorite thing about the Leadership Fellows Program is probably the diversity of people and how we've all come together and we are all just so close.....and I chose EU because of the awesome community. All Jesus all the time. Word."
"My favorite thing about the Leadership Fellows Program is you find real friends really fast and basically have a family at school, which makes the transition to college a whole lot easier!"
"LFP = family."
"My favorite thing is definitely the friends with a common goal, as diverse as we are. We all want to learn more about ourselves by only as leaders but as Christians in general. We learn so much in a week and continue to learn more from the upperclass students and Tess and it's just so great. Helps with confidence and also really getting comfortable with the campus a week before all the other freshman get here! You're gonna love it. And also I chose EU because it just felt right... God was so present and everyone is just so pleasant! Can't wait for you to come experience it!"
"My favorite thing about Leadership Fellows Program is that you get to meet so many people with great leadership qualities from different backgrounds. The friends you make are awesome!"
"My favorite thing about Leadership Fellows Program is...the people. The idea that you learn about yourself and leading and following and God all while making friends that bring out the best in you and I love how it has challenged me. It gives you a support system and more opportunities to learn things that I think everyone in college should have the chance to!"
"Leadership Fellows Program teaches us how to LEAD at Eastern by FOLLOWING Christ! That + the family + the grant = an unforgettable experience."
"I haven't even been a part of it. But everyone just seems amazing."
"There is a canyon between the days before you move in for Orientation and the first days of school.
There is a period of time where you find yourself immediately immersed in the world of leadership, more accurately "followership," where you discover your aspirations and inclinations in a more raw way than, maybe, you even want to. It's very easy to hover above and around a concept like leadership, it's very difficult to immerse oneself. This is exactly what happens in that canyon. During LFP Orientation, I was forced to take an incredibly difficult examination of myself, of my abilities, of my leadership style, of my personality, and of my faith. It humbled me before my peers, it manipulated my shortcomings into lessons, it began to develop my worldview, and it drew me closer to my God. This canyon changed my life and it did so before I even sat in a classroom." Max is the founder of Operation Vote, a grassroots voter registration drive at EU
"As an incoming freshman I had about a thousand looming fears - fear of not fitting in, fear of not being liked, fear of being late to my first class, fear of hating my roommate. And all I knew about the Leadership Fellows Program was that I would receive a grant and go to an August orientation - another fear. What I did not know is that I would meet some of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure to encounter or that I would be challenged to examine who I am, what I believe, how I handle difficult situations, and how deep my faith really is. The LFP provided me with some amazing friends, people I can always count on, and a leader who always takes the time to listen to me and give me some of the best advice and lessons I have ever received. It gives you a soft place to land during the difficult transition into college. And just for the record, I love my roommate, I was on time to my first class, and I found a place where I fit perfectly." Cassy is a Small Group Leader for LFP first year students
"LFP helped make Eastern my home. I took a big risk in moving half-way across the country for college without knowing a single person. From the very beginning there was a group of students, both my year and with a little more experience, that were willing to help me make a smooth transition into a new environment and a new phase of life. I gained life-long friends through the program. Beyond that, Leadership Fellows Program helped me apply purpose and drive to my four years at Eastern. I started my college experience with goals that went beyond the classroom and steered me in a direction that helped me make the most of my time at Eastern."
"One of the first things I learned has been the leadership lesson that has stuck with me the longest. I realized I didn't have to work at being a loud, crazy, outgoing person who is the center of attention to be a leader. I could have the introverted personality God blessed me with and lead from there. Leadership isn't about the type of personality one has, it's about the action one takes, the trust one gains, the risks one is willing to take, and the power one gives to others as a group works toward a common goal."

Here's what we have...
SPY Ascending Triangle today (Bullish technical price pattern). *Bulls will chase the breakout, look for a failed breakout or head fake move leading the market below the apex of the triangle.
SPY 5 min intraday chart, these suggest weakness in to the new week, perhaps early Monday or all of Monday.
Remember, VXX should give the opposite signal of the SPY to confirm as they move inversely? Here's the VXX 1 min , it's leading even higher now, this is why I took the chance on the VXX call position.
Bottom Line: Unless something dramatic changes between now and the close, I'd expect weakness Monday.
This was posted after the close today at Wolf on Wall Street and just wrapped up one of the positions we had from the above information.
Monday, August 26, 2013
I was in the middle of collecting these two SPY charts when things got exciting, NEVER fall asleep at the wheel during a dull market, they're the most dangerous.
To me the 2 min chart looked like we'd either be seeing some downside in to the close (which is exactly what was called for Friday afternoon as well as last night, "Early weakness this week") or it would hit tomorrow morning if we ran out of time.
*Keep in mind we've lost some intraday ground from the highs, but the SPY is still only down -.38% or so.
This 5 min chart looks worse than it did Friday when I said I expect weakness early this week, at this point as the second chart in the capture you can see price was already moving.
This 10 min chart is kind of the Maginot line between the positive 15 and weakness. The 15 min is still positive.
One of the reasons I decided to close the VIX position was, "It was opened for a short term move of weakness in the market", we got that short term move even though we have some indications for more.
You know I prefer to close options in to volatility. Friday's position was added to today and it made it bigger than a spec. position so I don't want to sit on that very long and I added a new position (Same VXX Sept. $14), this is not the kind of risk management I would condone, but to me it looked like a very promising position and I suspected I'd know before the day was out.
Here's the P/L on the positions and then a few more reasons for closing them.
The original position was added to to bring it up (75) again, not something I condone, but when I see an edge I find it very hard to walk away from it.
This was the first position from Friday which was underwater, when I saw VIX Futures with a beautiful divergence in addition to VXX/UVXY, but read the post and you'll see I considered it very short term, in fact "noise" was used to describe it.
The 25 add to was at $1.14 bringing the average to $1.31 (this capture is 15 min. delayed)
With the first fill of 25 at $1.48 and the second fill of 50 at $1.49 the average came out to be +13.5%or about +$1325
I didn't get the portfolio capture of the second position, but here's the purchase at $1.14 for 25 contracts.
At the fill of $1.49 the gain is almost +31% for about 1/2 a day of market exposure.
Here are a few other reasons I wrapped up the VIX position (remember these short term options positions are using that kind of leverage specifically because they are short term).
Other averages weren't confirming like the SPY.
This is the DIA 3 min chart, the SPY 5 min was clearly leading to the downside, but a faster DIA was getting tangled up.
The IWM 1 min chart looks right for letting the VXX position open, but...
At 2 mins again unlike the SPY, things start to get tangles up, the depth of the weakness across multiple averages is not clear.
The QQQ 2 min was showing a relative positive divergence, while there can certainly still be downside from here or even probably best case scenario some lateral trending, this can't be discounted as the start of a positive divergence and typically signals at least a consolidation if not a bounce to the upside intraday EITHER ONE WOULD KILL THE MOMENTUM ON THE POSITION.
The QQQ 3 min just confirms
The NYSE TICK which was mentioned earlier today went from VERY dull to very negative at -1700, but like the averages above, the water was muddied with TICK readings after that in the +1200 range so the number of stocks falling had given way to a large number rising during the sell-off, this told me things are not all clear on the downside and the positions that was meant to be short term should be honored as that.
I think my custom TICK Indicator (vs the SPX) captures the day's internals the best.
Also a number of very short term oscillators had data that was interesting and supported taking profits.
I'll follow up with what I see/saw today and what I think is likely going forward, although I posted that before the close after a quick look around.

Why are there always so many leading, whiney, stupid questions topping the 'Religion' category?
These are the top 5 hubs:
What if it was proven that there is NO God?
Should atheists keep quiet and not speak out against religion?
What is the difference between being religious and being a Christian? (probably a valid one)
Why are atheists so brave when questioning Christianity, but crap themselves when it comes to Islam?
Why do Christians hate Atheists so much?
1) Most of these questions have already been asked in HP in various ways
2) Shouldn't all top-5 hubs actually be about religions instead of passive-agressive accusations? I'm guilty too, but know they don't belong on top
The reason for this is because religion fascinates people, mostly Christianity, and this goes for Atheists and Christians alike. People like to discuss and debate, and it is fun. More fun than other topics, I guess, though politics is also a good one. But what else is there to talk about? What kind of pie do you like to eat? Who wants to talk about that? What's your favorite color? Boring! Remember, these questions are only stupid and whiny to you. I like them.
everyone is looking for different answer, different religion with different opinion, so stupid questions pop out
I agree that stupid questions will pop out; but why are they always the ones that are featured on top? I really think 'real hubs' should be on the list instead of these kinds of questions that are asked to cause arguments, not civilized discussions.
Honestly I was just about about to ask this question right before I saw that you wrote it. I have no idea why it seems like saturate the questions, it's pretty annoying. It's also annoying that most of the religious questions are asked in a way that demeans religion, which is childish and pointless if you actually want an answer from both sides. I agree, & I wish people had better things to ask than the last guy.
Yes, I couldn't put my finger on it - but that is exactly what seems happens: the questions argue with each other indirectly, in a passive-agressive way. That is pretty funny when you think about it. Perhaps top questions should not be 'recent' ones.

Why do people ask so many stupid questions?
by bileygur 8 years ago
After reading through the forum and answers I see that some of the questions there seem to be asked just for the sake of asking them, but not to get the answer it self. Are these question asked for the purpose of marketing the hubs/author? Is it better for my hubs to ask...

Why do people answer stupid questions when flagging them has become that much easier. This spam...nonsense has to end. As they say the best way to kill a troll is to starve it to death.

The Royal Navy will see four new state-of-heart submarines come into service in the early 2030s, thanks - in part at least to - Vladimir Putin.
The Dreadnought class is the future replacement for the Vanguard class of ballistic missile-capable submarines used by the Royal Navy. Their replacement was deemed necessary by the Conservative Government in 2016 to “maintain a continuous at-sea deterrent (CASD)”.
This week, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt, ahead of a special service to recognise the Royal Navy’s Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) or Operation Relentless over the past 50 years, revealed the fourth of these submarines will be named King George VI.
Writing for The Express , Callum Hoare explains the role the President of Russia played in the UK's decision to renew Trident - and commission these four new Dreadnought submarines...
The final decision to commit to the Successor programme was approved on July 18, 2016, when the House of Commons voted to renew Trident by 472 votes to 117.
The decision has generated controversy because it will cost at least £350million and because some political parties and campaign groups such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament oppose the retention of CASD or any nuclear weapons by the UK.
However, the Government believed the step was necessary as the prospect of World War 3 was taken more seriously.
In August 2014, following the Ukrainian revolution, Putin stated to his colleagues that “we must start working on returning Crimea to Russia".
Within days, unmarked forces with local militias took over the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as occupying several localities in Kherson Oblast on the Arabat Spit, which is geographically a part of Crimea.
However, the Russian President claimed he had the backing of his people and within days he signed a treaty of accession with the self-declared Republic of Crimea, annexing it into the Russian Federation as two federal subjects.
Though Russia had control over the peninsula, sovereignty is disputed as Ukraine and the majority of the international community consider the annexation illegal,as was shown by the United Nations General Assembly adopting a non-binding resolution calling upon states not to recognise changes to the integrity of Ukraine.
A range of international sanctions have remained against Russia since the events of 2014, but that has not stopped the Kremlin’s heavy investment in infrastructure in Crimea.
Following the events of 2014, Putin has repeatedly flexed his military muscles on land, in the air and at sea.
On September 30, 2015, Putin authorised Russian military invention in the Syrian Civil War, ordering for a number of air strikes on militant groups while declaring war on ISIS.
He later announced that Russia had defeated ISIS.
This led the international platform to fear the “bear is back” over a Russian resurgence not seen since the Cold War.
On October 3, 2016, Putin suspended the 2000 nuclear pact on cleaning up weapons-grade plutonium and, on October 5 that year, he suspended the 2013 nuclear pact on uranium research.
Three days later, Russia deployed the nuclear-capable Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system to the Kaliningrad Oblast, a location off the coast of the Baltic Sea, to demonstrate its capability of hitting nations like the UK.
The UK then announced its plans to upgrade the nuclear submarine fleet, and Putin has since threatened at least six news state-of-the-art weapons, including Russia’s newest underwater drone “Poseidon”.
According to the 2018 U.S. Nuclear Posture Review, undertaken by the US Defense Department, the Poseidon "is a new intercontinental, nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered, undersea autonomous torpedo".
The Russian Navy is expected to deploy more than 30 Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) once the weapons system is declared operational and has cleared user trials, a Russian defence industry source told TASS earlier this year.
Since the retirement of the last Royal Air Force WE.177 nuclear bomb in 1998, the British nuclear arsenal has been wholly submarine-based.
It is intended to deter a potential enemy because they cannot ensure eliminating the entire stockpile in a first strike if a ballistic missile submarine remains undetected.
Since the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), the UK has maintained a stockpile of around 215 warheads, with around 120 active.
Under the continuous at sea deterrence policy, at least one Vanguard-class SSBN is kept on patrol with up to 16 Trident missiles sharing up to 48 warheads from the stockpile at any given time.
Under the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015, the total number of warheads for the submarine on patrol will be 40 and the maximum total number of ballistic missiles will be eight.

U.S. Army All-American Bowl
2015 U.S. ARMY ALL-AMERICAN BOWL WEST HOLDS ON TO DEFEAT THE EAST, 39-36
SAN ANTONIO, TX (January 3, 2015) – U.S. Army soldiers and football fans alike packed the Alamodome to watch the contest between the East and West squads playing in the 15th anniversary of the Nation’s premier high school All-American game – the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Led by quarterback Brady White, the West team was stagnant on their first drive resulting in a 3 and out. After a big punt return from Powder Springs, GA native TJ Rahming, Ohio State bound quarterback Torrance Gibson had two third down conversions that was capped off by Rodrigo Blankenships’ 34 yard field goal.
After a fumble by Chris Warren on the West team’s next drive that began on the 5 yard line, Salt Lake City, UT native Osa Masina jumped on a loose football fumbled by East running back Jordan Scarlett on the first play in the red zone.
Travis Waller took over the West squad’s second drive that began at their own 5 yard line. After a 13 yard scamper for a first down, Waller found Louisiana native and LSU bound running back Derrius Guice over the middle for a 92 yard touchdown pass.
The second quarter was dominated by the West team. Arizona State bound quarterback Brady White zipped a pass to Derrick Dillon that resulted in a 25 yard touchdown that gave the West a 13-3 lead. But it did not stop there. Back-to-back pick six’s in the red zone by linebackers Ben Humphreys and Porter Gustin gave the West a 27-3 lead with 6 minutes remaining in the second quarter.
The West team continued their onslaught as USC commit and California native quarterback Ricky Town hit Derrius Guice for a 61 yard pass and Guice’s second receiving touchdown of the game and gave the West a 33-3 lead with one minute left in the half. East coaches drew up a trick play that let wide receiver Deon Cain launch a long ball to fellow wide receiver Lawrence Cager heading into halftime. The first half ended with the West ahead 33-9.
The East team came out of the locker room eager to get some momentum going their way to start the third quarter on offense as quarterback Torrance Gibson came out firing the ball downfield. The drive stalled and quickly came to an end as the dominant West defense recovered a fumble around midfield. The first West drive of the second half was capped by Kevin Robledo’s field goal that added to their lead and made the score 36-9 heading into the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter began with East quarterback Sam Darnold leading the charge. Darnold was able to sling a ball to TJ Rahming over the middle for a 63 yard score that cut the deficit to 21. After a failed two point conversion, the East was able to recover an onside kick to try and mount a comeback.
For the second time today, East coaches drew up a wild triple reverse pass that left TJ Rahming wide open on the sideline with a convoy of East lineman that led him right to the endzone for a score and made it a two possession game with seven minutes left.
After an interception on the first play of the West drive by Tarvarus McFadden, the East answered the call as Missouri bound quarterback Drew Lock found Deon Cain on the first play deep downfield for a score that made the game 36-29 with the West ahead with five minutes remaining.
The East was not ready to be finished yet. Following a Kevin Robledo field goal that extended the West lead to 10, East cornerback Tarvarus McFadden returned a kick to the house that cut the lead to 3 with under 2 minutes left in the game.
The West got the ball back and ate a minute of clock up but was stuffed by a dominant East defensive line on a 4th and 1 and the East took over on downs with 30 seconds left. The East team’s incredible comeback was stopped by an attempt to go deep on fourth down with 20 seconds left.
LSU-bound running back Derrius Guice took home the game’s MVP award following a record-setting 153 receiving yards – which included a 92-yard touchdown, also a Bowl record – with 2 touchdowns as the West defeated the East with a final score of 39-36.

Posiva and SKB into closer cooperation
Posiva and the Swedish nuclear waste management company SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering) have concluded cooperation and information exchange agreements on research and technology for spent nuclear fuel. The agreements not only ensure continuation of cooperation that started already in the 1980s, but also widen the scope of collaboration in research and development activities focusing on final disposal and encapsulation technology. The agreements will remain in force for five years.Both Finland and Sweden have committed to take care of the nuclear waste generated in their own nuclear plants. Both countries have adopted a similar approach for disposal of spent nuclear fuel in the bedrock.
"It is quite natural for Posiva and SKB to strengthen their cooperation now that the disposal programmes in both countries are progressing towards the implementation. Cooperation is justified by the fact that the selected final disposal method is similar in both countries and there are no major differences in our bedrock, either”, says Mr. Veijo Ryhänen, Managing Director of Posiva. “Through collaboration and exchange of information we can avoid duplicate work and endeavour our competence in a more effective manner”, adds Mr. Peter Nygårds, Managing Director or SKB.
Posiva has progressed further with site characterisation than SKB, while Sweden has a head start in the planning of the disposal canister and in the testing of the repository technology. In the recent years, Posiva has taken part in the tests carried out in the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory in Sweden. A major part of future cooperation projects will focus on the development of manufacturing and sealing methods for the copper canister. Both Posiva and SKB have worked on a two-part canister that consists of an insert canister made of cast iron and a 5 cm thick outer copper jacket.
In accordance with the agreements, Posiva will in the future participate in the development work carried out in SKB’s encapsulation laboratory. The laboratory, which is located in Oskarshamn was opened in 1998. So far work there has included e.g. tests on handling the final disposal canister and development of electron beam welding of the copper lid.
In Sweden, the site investigations aiming at the selection of the disposal site are scheduled to 2002. The properties of the bedrock and the ground water conditions will be investigated by means of boreholes, where SKB can benefit from Posiva’s experience in this field of expertise. Posiva has developed advanced equipment for groundwater sampling and measuring of water flow.

a literary journal published by the Black Earth Institute dedicated to re-forging the links between art and spirit, earth and society
Tochtli. Taavu. Sewa Taavu. Flower Rabbit. Tochtli en la Luna. Tochtli en los brazos de Ixchel. Tochtli seated with Ixchel, in equal relation, her partner in life.
I had such a partner, my Tochtli, my muse, my little shadow, my love. She was a black little rabbit, part champagne (her belly was silver-colored). We lived together for seven years and then she left me (rabbits have a life span of seven to ten years). She was my Maestra, my shamana, one of the wonders of my life. She reminded me of my own wildness, my own need to speak in other-than-human languages, my own desire to be in touch intimately with the heart of the earth, with other sentient beings, to find peace with them, to provide peace and love for them. They have a most precious ch’ulel, as the Tsotstil and Tzeltal Mayans would say. The ch’ulel is the life essence that is in all of us, in all beings, human and non-human. They say that when you are a child you begin developing your ch’ulel and if you are fortunate, and care for your ch’ulel, you will be able to communicate with all the non-human beings who already know their own ch’ulel. Tochtli was my Maestra in these matters.
We had a love relationship. At first I thought she was a “he”, because she was so celosa whenever my husband got close to me. Then we took her to the vet for a check-up and discovered that she was a “she.” I realized she was a two-spirit, and we were passionately in love with each other.
She would nest for me on my side of the bed
Showing me when I returned from a trip of two or more days what she had done for me
Jumping on the bed
Eagerly waiting for me to see how she had arranged the sheets
How she had carefully gathered them to create a special spot for me to rest
How she had added her tufts of hair to ensure the softness
She would look intently at me to see my response to her show of cariño
I would rush over to her, gather her in my arms, turn her over in the bed, and hold her to me, whispering sweet messages to her, calling her “My Tochtli, my Tohsh, my little one.”
In bed, she would come between me and my husband
Grumping at him (rabbits don’t make too many sounds, one of them is a scolding kind of grunt)
Warning him to not get so close to me
To leave room for her to be in my embrace
When she wasn’t in bed with me, she would lie next to the bed, on my side, to guard me. I learned to sleep with a night light
To see her in the dark.
She would be stretched out with her patitas fully extended in back and in front.
Rabbits do sleep, sometimes they completely knock out on their sides, sleeping so deeply that I have many times walked over very softly and gingerly to them to see if they are still breathing. Usually, when I get close enough, they raise their heads with a startled look as if to say, “Do you mind? I was resting!”
When Tochtli guarded me during the night, though, I would get up sometimes to go to the bathroom and she would be fully awake, keeping vigil.
In the morning she would jump in bed to wake me, sometimes jumping on my chest to groom my face with her little tongue. She was persistent. There was no way I could oversleep once she decided that I needed to get up. When she was a youngster, she learned to jump into bed to paw at me for attention. In my sleep, I would stroke her a little, and then I would push her off, but she was a boomerang. We would do this several times, with me telling her, “No, Tochtli, please, I have to sleep!” My husband would finally tell me, “Inés, please!” We laugh about it now, but it could be hard on my human partner at night.
We had a cat, a gray tabby, for sixteen years, so I used to tell friends at first that we were a threesome. Our cat’s name was Weetas, and she took to Tochtli. They became friends and would hang out together in our bed. They had an understanding. Weetas claimed my husband as hers. I know she loved me, too, but she would stretch out on my husband’s chest when he was lying down reading on the sofa, and then she would give me a look, as if saying, “Do you see that he’s mine?” Her eyes would close ever so provocatively. I would tell my husband we were even. He had Weetas and I had Tochtli.
Sometimes I would be standing in the hall downstairs and I would see her suddenly rushing up the stairs looking for me with urgency. She would then rush downstairs and discover me waiting for her. I would walk into my study, and the ritual would begin.
Tochtli would pull at the strings of my tennis shoes, demanding that I take them off.
This was the signal that she wanted a body rub with my bare feet. Once she had enjoyed her massage, she would start grooming my feet, cleaning my toes with her little tongue.
She would push her head under my foot
for me to begin again with her body rub.
We could go on infinitely with this ceremony
All the while I might be reading or working on my computer.
Tochtli was mine and I was hers, completely. We had other rabbits in our home at the time, and we loved them all, but she and I bonded—this is what the vet told us. We were the two hearts become one, and she is one of the joys of my life. I have a tiny white box with some of her fur. I’ve told my husband that when I cross over into the spirit world, I want this little box with Tochtli’s fur to go with me.
She had a sister, Taavu, who developed a tumor that was incurable. We also had a rabbit we inherited from my son’s neighbor, Snowball—we changed his name to Husali, “Little White One” in the Yoeme or Yaqui language. Husali, or Husai, was Tochtli’s, too. One of the most profound moments for me was seeing Tochtli and Husali embracing Taavu with their bodies, one of them on each side of her, very, very closely and gently touching her body with theirs to comfort her. As it would happen, Tochtli left before Taavu. One day she was in the living room under the sofa. My husband started to vacuum (he didn’t know that Tochtli was near him). When he went to lift the sofa to vacuum underneath, he found that Tochtli had expired. Rabbits die of fright, in an instant they can be gone, they simply check out of their bodies. We couldn’t believe it. I think the entire neighborhood heard my grief, my sobs, my desolation.
We laid her to rest on our kitchen table on a towel. I “dressed” her body with herbs from our garden, lavender, rosemary, white sage, flowers. We wrapped her in the towel let her lay in state for the rest of the day and all night. We smudged her and lit candles around her. We prayed for her, thanked her, and told her how much we loved her. The next day we buried her in our yard, next to our cherry tree.
Here is the special light of this story. Taavu understood that Tochtli was gone. She was suffering herself. She was the one with the tumor in her belly. We had taken her to an alternative veterinarian who had given her an herbal remedy, a healing mix of medicines that helped the tumor to grow smaller, which improved her quality of life. “Comfort care” it is called when humans are suffering in this way. Taavu started visiting my study, even though she was weak. She would come to my study door and wait for me to see her. I would always welcome her and encourage her to come in. Then she would come over to lie down next to me. I started putting a little bowl of food and water in the room for her, so she would know that she could eat and drink there. She accompanied me with such sweetness in her last days, and when I knew she was getting ready to leave, I wrapped her in a soft worn towel and held her closely, rocking her gently and praying for her to have safe travels. We turned out all the lights, and lit our smudge. We put on soft, calming music and waited until she was ready. She suddenly heaved a huge sigh and was gone. We carried out the same ritual for her as we had done for her sister. I came to understand what she had done for me. She made sure that I was able to do for her what I would have loved to do for her sister. She knew that when I held her, I was also holding Tochtli. They were sisters. They knew each other and they knew me. I am so grateful for their love.
I live with totochtin. My home is a home for rabbits who come to me and my husband
They find us as they wander casually around our yard, in the back and in the front. We find them in our garden, munching plants, eating food we have left for feral cats who join our family. The cats, for the most part, simply observe them with curiosity, most likely astonished at their bravado in the presence of clear predators. We think there must be a rabbit factory somewhere around where we live because the ones who have come are the kind that can become show rabbits. We have had a female lop ear come to us, an English Spot male, a female Rex (the Velveteen Rabbit breed), a blue Dutch. We think they escape the factory, they break free and look for sanctuary. The vet says they have bunny radar, they know where safe places are.
The most recent arrival (now she’s been with us for two years) left us droppings on our porch. Discreet calling cards to alert us of her presence.
One weekend, as we were unpacking the car from a short trip, this new one chose to show herself on the walk leading up to our steps. She just plopped herself down and watched. And waited.
We scooped her up and brought her in. We named her Tita. When we first got her, we had five other rabbits, so the bedroom in our home that is the bunny room was quite crowded. But as time passed, we lost two of our rabbits close together. They were best buds, we rescued them from the SPCA after the deaths of Tochtli and Taavu. They lived a good ten years. Then this past summer, three others died, also of old age, two passed on when they were about ten, but one of them, the blue Dutch we called Bucky, lasted thirteen and a half years. The vet said he was a miracle bunny. He had an incredible will to live. He wanted so hard to keep going, but his little body finally gave out on him.
So now we are down to two little ones, Tita, who is a chinchilla Dutch, and Gobi, another Dutch we got from a place called Second Chance Bunnies (a place that fosters rabbits and finds homes for them).
Each rabbit brings his or her own gift. Tita loves to be held like a baby. She literally takes naps in our arms. Gobi is getting used to us—as a foster bunny, he probably had to realize that we are his family now, we are not just keeping him for a brief while. He is learning that we all belong to each other.
A good friend, Victor Montejo, Maya Jakaltek scholar, novelist, and poet, reminded me that for the Maya, the rabbit is the muse to writers. He gave me a poster announcing a conference in Guatemala, and at the bottom of the poster there is the rabbit scribe, sitting and writing with a pen (it is an ancient image). I was elated to learn this. Another friend, who has gone on to the spirit world, a Huichol artist, told me the rabbit is the older brother to the deer. Given the prominence of the deer in the Huichol belief-system, this means that rabbit is deeply important as a teacher. My husband is Yoeme or Yaqui, and a Deer Singer, so this link between the deer and the rabbit is important to him as well. In several Native American religious traditions, Rabbit is known as a trickster, like Coyote. I am Nimipu (Nez Perce) and in our belief-system, Coyote created us. I was created by a Trickster! So I relate completely to Rabbit.
I want to end with affirming the sensuality of rabbits, I see how they lie down when they are happy, how they stretch out and curve their bodies, and give out a “come-hither” look, how they close their eyes when they are being caressed, how they love to snuggle. I think of Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm’s essay “Red Hot to the Touch: WRi(gh)ting Indigenous Erotica” and how she (and of course, Audre Lorde) remind us that the erotic is a life-force, a healing power, an immense energy that, when expressed, allows us to live fully, to feel joy in every fiber of our beings, to be free in our creativity, to envision. I think of my relationship with my little animals—we have a German shepherd, no cats at the present, and we have our rabbits who all gift us with their healing powers every day. This is my connection to re-wilding, to re-enchantment.

Extreme Networks is joining the growing ranks of networking vendors offering an Ethernet switching fabric designed to leverage the benefits of such technologies as cloud computing and virtualization.
At the Interop 2011 show in Las Vegas, Extreme officials unveiled their Open Fabric solutions portfolio of cloud-scale data center switches, which includes the BlackDiamond X8 modular chassis, Summit X670 top-of-rack switches and BlackDiamond 8900 high-density Gigabit Ethernet blades.
The offerings are designed to address the business demands for greater scalability, cost efficiency and higher performance, all of which are driven by the growth of cloud computing, virtualization and mobile computing, according to Extreme officials.
“People are now demanding access to [the network] anywhere they are and on any device,” Shehzad Merchant, senior director of strategy at Extreme, said in an interview with eWEEK. “The best way to deliver this … is through the cloud.”
The new Open Fabric portfolio, announced May 10, is designed to address the challenges that come with cloud computing, according to Merchant. Extreme’s offerings provide on-demand provisioning, automation and an open architecture, the ability for businesses to consolidate their data center resources, a scalable fabric that supports both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40GbE, and energy-efficient power management capabilities.
“The network power equation is becoming a larger [issue],” Merchant said.
The BlackDiamond X8 chassis offers up to 768 non-blocking 10GbE ports or 192 non-blocking 40GbE ports in a third of a rack space, and will evolve to support the upcoming 100GbE. It offers 20 terabits per second of switching capacity, according to Extreme. It can support up to 128,000 virtual machines, and offers virtual machine lifecycle management capabilities and automated configuration. It also supports various storage standards, including iSCSI and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet).
“This is really a generation ahead [of competitor offerings] in terms of raw capacity,” he said.
The Summit X670 switches offer up to 64 ports of 10GbE or 48 ports of 10GbE coupled with four ports of 40GbE uplinks. The switches also support up to 128,000 virtual machines.
Merchant said the capacity of the Open Fabric portfolio is a key differentiator for Extreme as it competes with the likes of Cisco Systems in the crowded networking space. Vendors like Hewlett-Packard, Juniper Networks and Brocade also are pushing Ethernet networking fabrics that tout their open architecture that let customers use switching products from other vendors, a nod to the heterogeneous nature of most data centers and a way to let businesses leverage the investments they’ve already made in their infrastructures.
As further proof of this openness, Extreme’s Open Fabric portfolio also will support the OpenFlow initiative to simplify network provisioning, Merchant said. In addition, the products support Data Center Bridging to enable customers to consolidate LAN and storage fabrics in the data center.

Politicians and sports fans alike seem optimistic about the chances that a new arena for hockey and basketball in Seattle will get built. To figure out what it might look like, we turn to the experts in stadium design and construction.
A city and county overview of the estimated $500 million project promises a “state of the art” arena. Mortenson Construction vice president Jim Yowan says, for certain, technology is a crucial component.
“You’re really competing with people’s living rooms and their high-definition TVs and their connectivity, so fans today want to be in a space where they can bring their iPads and interact during the game,” he said.
Mortenson built the Pepsi Center and Coors Field in Denver and the Sprint Center in Kansas City. It also built the ShoWare Center in Kent and last year finished renovation of Cheney Stadium in Tacoma.
Yowan says each new stadium or arena includes a theme, signature or design unique to the city or area.
“Safeco [Field], for instance, takes advantage of views to downtown but certainly with the mountains and the water here, the forests, you would expect that to be reflected somehow in the design [of a new arena],” said Yowan.
James Poulson specializes in sports facilities as design director with AECOM, an engineering, design and construction firm with customers in more than 100 countries. AECOM is building the new home of the NBA’s Nets, in Brooklyn. He says any new arena must treat the fan “to a spectacular view of the court or the ice with great sight lines as well as comfortable seats and an up-to-date, state-of-the-art sound and video presentation.”
Based on other new arenas, you can expect a lot of exterior glass, allowing for an inviting look inside. The building will likely include retail shops open on non-game days too.
Potential investor Chris Hansen says he loves Seattle and he loves basketball and the NBA and Poulson loves that attitude. “I think his heart is really in this … and wants to bring [back] something that’s really near and dear to him and that’s a recipe for success in my book.”
From his Redmond office, Mortenson’s Yowan concedes some false starts in getting a new arena here. But this time, he notes, the politicians are lining up in support.
“Having been around a number of these deals in the past, it is very rare or unheard of for someone to come forward with $290 million of their own money and so that catalyst, in my mind, should be enough to get a deal done,” said Yowan.
As for the proposed SoDo location, Poulson calls it “gritty,” so near to industrial Seattle. “And I know that whatever is designed is going to have to be sensitive to that environment.”
Previous plans for stadiums in the area have considered soil conditions and earthquake risk as factors of concern. No trouble, says Yowan. Safeco and CenturyLink were built in SoDo and as for any concerns about rain disrupting a tight construction schedule, Yowan laughingly says that if contractors didn’t work in the rain in Seattle, they wouldn’t work much at all.
Yowan says he has not been contacted by Hansen but calls the proposed arena a “fantastic opportunity” that he would bid on with passion and enthusiasm.

Glögi: The Most Delicious Mulled Wine of All!
Glögi – Glögg
Winter drinks don’t get more festive than glögg / glögi.
It warms you through on a cold December day like a dream, so delicious and feisty: I’m utterly in love with it!
Glögg, or to give it it’s Finnish name glögi, is Nordic mulled wine.
If you thought glühwein was the ultimate in Christmas drinks then you possibly haven’t had glögg.
I didn’t think glühwein could be beaten, I’d fallen for it’s festive charms in Switzerland: my cold hands wrapped around a steaming cup of hot spiced wine while wandering the Christmas markets.
I drank it in Germany doing the very same thing.
Then, last December I went to Sweden and Finland, and I discovered that glögg is even more wonderful, basically it’s glühwein that’s been laced with a spirit – usually rum or vodka – then served over almonds and raisins.
The almonds and raisins become boozily plump while they rest patiently at the bottom of the cup, ready to be greedily spooned out when the glögi has been drunk.
Just warming the glögi though brings back festive feelings of nordic winter as the heady smell drifts around the kitchen – or in my case, camper van! Cinnamon, orange, cloves…
I should point out that it is very common to find no-alcoholic glögi too – at least it was in Finland –, made with blackcurrant juice.
This glögi recipe was kindly given to me by Kati who writes the beautiful ‘Call It Home’ lifestyle blog (it’s in Finnish, the photography is gorgeous). I’m going to meet Kati in person in January when I fly to Finland, I’m so excited!
I urge you to try glögg, it’s so easy to make and it will make your home smell unbelievably festive this Christmas.
It’s a Nordic tradition I’m firmly introducing to my British Christmas: bah humbug to simple mulled wine!
The quantity of the ingredients listed is for one bottle of wine, you can of course double it or triple it for more bottles.
The spices steep in the vodka for a few days (up to a week) so prepare this step in advance.
I’ve used vodka but you could try dark rum instead.
- 100 ml vodka
- 3 or 4 strips of fresh orange peel
- cardamom seeds from 2 pods
- 1 cinnamon stick (broken in half)
- 8 cloves
- 3 slices of fresh ginger
- a little grated nutmeg
- 100 ml / 90 g brown sugar
- 1 bottle of fruity red wine
- blanched almonds and raisins to serve
It really couldn’t be easier, simply measure the vodka into a jar or jug and add the spices, orange peel, ginger and the brown sugar.
Give it a swirl to mix then leave to steep from one to seven days.
When you are ready to serve it place a sieve over a large saucepan and strain the spiced vodka into the pan. Discard the spices.
Add the red wine, stir to combine then warm the pan over a medium heat, don’t allow it to boil though.
To serve the glögi place a few blanched almonds and raisins into the bottom of each cup/glass then pour the hot glögi over them. If you are serving in glasses, pour the hot wine over a spoon placed in the glass to prevent it cracking.
Don’t forget to give everyone a spoon to scoop out the glögi-soaked almonds and fruit once they’ve drained their cups.
It’s lovely served with a gingerbread cookie, these cute gingerbread reindeer in the photos will have their own post soon!
Pin it for later:

The land is ours to protect. Our focus is on supporting economic vitality, promoting healthy lifestyles, safeguarding drinking water and protecting our quality of life.
The Congaree Land Trust (CLT) was founded in 1992 by seven individuals committed to conserving the natural and scenic lands, farms, waterways, forests, and open spaces that sustain us in central South Carolina. Our work spans 14 counties where the mountains have literally met the sea (Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Clarendon, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, Saluda, Sumter, and Williamsburg).
Since our inception we have conserved over 78,000 acres, representing 172 individual properties of priority conservation land. In the heart of South Carolina, our focus is on supporting economic vitality, promoting healthy lifestyles, safeguarding drinking water and clean air quality, and protecting our local quality of life. Farming, forestry, outdoor recreation and tourism, all tied to our natural resources, contribute approximately $54 billion to the state’s economy and provide over 463,000 jobs. Conservation easements help protect the natural areas that fuel our state’s natural resource-based economy and define our way of life.
The COWASEE Basin is the name given to a section of the COngaree and WAteree Rivers as they connect to form the SantEE. Spanning over 315,000 acres, this area boasts a significant measure of our focus. The nearly 27,000 acre Congaree National Park, at the center of the basin, is home to the largest old growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the eastern US.
A large number of our properties exist within The Basin, making it a focal point for our conservation efforts. However, the surrounding areas throughout central South Carolina hold equal value to the Land Trust in our efforts to preserve the region.
A conservation easement (CE) is a tool landowners can use to voluntarily protect their land. It is a legal agreement between a landowner and a private, nonprofit conservation organization, like the Congaree Land Trust (CLT), or a government agency, that permanently protects a property from development and subdivision. Some people consider a conservation easement the ultimate property right, as it allows the landowner to determine the future of the property and what it will look like for generations to come. Once a CE is recorded in the land records, all future owners are bound by its terms forever.
When you do a CE on a piece of property, you voluntarily and permanently give up some of the rights related to that property. For example, you typically give up the right to develop the property for commercial or industrial purposes. In some circumstances, you may be able to retain some limited rights to subdivide and/or build additional residential structures and related buildings on the property. You continue to own and live on the land and manage it as before the CE whether it be for farming, forestry, hunting, fishing, or general outdoor recreation. Even with a CE, you are still able to sell the property or leave it to your heirs.
When you create a CE on your land, the CE holder, such as CLT, accepts the responsibility to monitor the easement and to enforce its terms forever. We will visit the land annually, and we must be prepared to defend the terms of the CE agreement in court.contact us to learn more

The Baltimore Ravens will have to sort out some business at the end of their season. It appears defensive coordinator Dean Pees will retire, opening up a position that will be highly coveted. Already, names have been thrown around by fans and media as potential options.
While it’s fun to think about guys like Chuck Pagano or Marvin Lewis returning to the team, it’s not all that likely. The reality is that Baltimore promotes from within, which they have done with their last five defensive coordinators. In fact, the last time a the Ravens brought in a defensive coordinator from elsewhere was with Marvin Lewis in 1996, the first year of the franchise.
Given that interesting bit of history, it seems improbable that Baltimore would look outside the organization for a defensive coordinator. And there’s really only one option that makes sense when you look over the defensive coaches on the team: Don Martindale.
Martindale is currently the linebackers coach, which has been a popular path to the defensive coordinator job for the Ravens. Martindale has done a good job coaching up guys like C.J. Mosley, Zachary Orr and even Terrell Suggs. Baltimore continues to hold one of the better linebacking corps in the league thanks to Martindale’s tutelage.
Martindale is also a respected coach around the league. The players on the team already know and respect him. Plus he already has experience as a defensive coordinator, a 2010 stint as the head of the Denver Broncos’ defense.
All paths seemingly lead to Martindale. I’d go as far as to say it would be a big shock if he doesn’t get the nod. Still, it’s pretty fun to think about the “what ifs” and throw out some interesting names.

This week’s paper marks the final edition of The Courant for the year 2011, and next week’s paper will be the first edition of the year 2012. Much has taken place in Conecuh County and in the rest of the world during the preceding year, and I’m sure that we’ll be able to say the same this time next year.
Next week, in this space, as I do on the first Thursday of every month, I’ll offer up my monthly review of all the interesting things that were happening in Conecuh County a century ago, way back in January 1912.
The year 1912 was an interesting year in history, and you might be surprised by some of the things that occurred during that leap year a century ago.
The Republic of China, commonly known as Taiwan, was established on Jan. 1, 1912. New Mexico was admitted as the 47th U.S. state on Jan. 6 of that year, and Arizona became the 48th U.S. state on Feb. 14, 1912.
In one of the most famous expeditions of discovery in history, British polar explorer Capt. Robert Falcon Scott and a team of four others became the second group to reach the South Pole. They arrived about three weeks after a team led by famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who became the first people to stand on the South Pole on Dec. 14, 1911.
On the trip back to their base camp near the Antarctic coast, Scott and every member of his team died due to the extreme conditions, sometime around March 29, 1912. In addition to the 44-year-old Scott, the team included Henry R. Bowers, a 29-year-old Scottish naval officer; Edgar Evans, a 36-year-old Welsh naval officer; and Edward Adrian Wilson, a 40-year-old English doctor and naturalist.
On April 10, 1912, the British ocean liner, RMS Titanic, left Southampton, England on her maiden voyage for New York City. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the northern Atlantic Ocean. The Titanic sank less than three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, and more than 1,500 people died as a result.
Like 2012, the year 1912 was a presidential election year, and on Nov. 5, 1912 Democratic challenger Woodrow Wilson beat Republican incumbent William Howard Taft by a landslide.
The year 1912 was also an active year in the world of sports. Two famous baseball stadiums - Tiger Stadium in Detroit and Fenway Park in Boston – opened on April 20, 1912.
On Oct. 16, the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Giants in extra innings to win the 1912 World Series in a game that is considered one of the greatest baseball games ever played. Two teams shared the college football national championship in 1912, Harvard and Penn State.
The year 1912 was also a notable year in aviation. That year marked the first successful all-metal aircraft flight and on March 1 of that year in St. Louis, Mo., Albert Berry made the first parachute jump from a moving airplane.
Berry’s jump came less than a month after French inventor Franz Reichelt died in a jump from the Eiffel Tower in an attempt to demonstrate his “parachute suit.” That Feb. 4, 1912 incident was caught on film.
Famous books published in 1912 included “The Lost World” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and “Riders of the Purple Sage” by Zane Grey.
Famous people born in 1912 included American painter Jackson Pollock, Hitler’s girlfriend Eva Braun, American actor Karl Malden, German-born physicist and engineer Wernher von Braun, American singer Perry Como, American TV chef Julia Child, American actor Gene Kelly, American humorist Minnie Pearl and former first lady Lady Bird Johnson. Famous people who died in 1912 included American aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright and Irish writer Bram Stoker, who is best known as the author of the famous vampire novel, “Dracula.”
As you can see, 1912 was an eventful year in American and world history. Who’s to say what 2012 will bring, but I’m sure that it will likely be as eventful as that remarkable year a century ago.

It’s time to take federal political leadership on climate warming
Economists believe that the most efficient way to address climate change by reducing CO2 emissions is through a carbon tax.

PONTIAC >> The Oakland County Board of Canvassers rejected a losing Pontiac City Council candidate’s petition for a recount Monday that, if approved, could have cost the city between $2,000 and $4,000.
Certified election results show Vanessa Coleman, who filed the petition, received 254 votes to winner Doris Taylor Burks’ 370 on, a spread of 116 votes. The two ran against each other in the race for the District 6 council seat representing the city’s near northeast side.
“The board did not feel the petitioner adequately stated any fraud or mistake that had occurred, and that the margin of votes was too significant for only three precincts,” Oakland County Director of Elections Joe Rozell said of Coleman’s petition.
“Everything balances for these precincts perfectly.”
Coleman’s alleged complaints included a supporter of Burks working in the City Clerk’s office, stolen or missing campaign signs and different ordering of hers and Burks’ names on different ballots.
The vote of the four-member board, composed of two Democrats and two Republicans, was unanimous. Rozell said about a dozen people spoke at the hearing.
Burks filed an objection to the recount request.
“I feel that it was a waste of the citizens’ time and waste of taxpayer’s money, because everybody can’t win,” Burks said Monday. “There have to be losers. I have been a loser more than one time, and I’ve never gone to this extent to try to get into office.”
Coleman did not return multiple calls for comment.
Rozell said City Clerk Sherikia Hawkins “did an excellent job with the conduct of the November election, and when we canvassed and certified her precincts here at the county, we did not find a single issue.”
Hawkins said “there was no concrete evidence” supporting Coleman’s allegations.
Rozell said that since the county moved to new electronic voting equipment in 2005, no election results have been overturned by a recount.
Coleman also petitioned the county for a new, special election in District 6, citing “unsportsmanlike conduct” during the campaign and “irregularities” in the election. The Oakland County Clerk’s Elections Division denied the petition on Nov. 14, stating that Coleman did not present facts that showed it was impossible for voters to cast a ballot for her and did not identify specific voting machines that were problematic.
Rozell said state law requires specific tests to be met in order for the results of an election to be invalidated and another held.
“The only time this statute has been used is (when) someone’s name has been left off the ballot and it was impossible to cast a vote for a candidate,” he said.
“Her petition did not list the serial numbers of the specific defective machines that she was alleging, and it also did not allege a single fact that indicated it was impossible for voters to cast ballots for her.”

Whenever Simon Hoggart writes about Michael Fabricant, he makes note of the honorable gentleman from Lichfield’s hair. “How many My Little Ponies, we asked, were slaughtered to make such a creation?” reads one of his countless dispatches. That 2003 piece, in fact, was devoted entirely to Fabricant’s mane (or lack of it) and its uncanny ability to change color, size, shape, and length. The previous day, Hoggart had noticed that Fabricant’s blond toupée “used to be roughly normal length, finishing round the level of his ear lobes.” Yet twenty-four hours later, “the thing had reached his shoulders, a great lustrous cascade of tresses curling over and even caressing the collar of his jacket.”
It’s hard to imagine a congressional reporter for a major American newspaper writing such things about a member of Congress. But Hoggart is not an impetuous blogger; he’s a parliamentary sketch writer for The Guardian, the paper of Britain’s right-thinking liberals. His kind has existed for centuries, dating back to Samuel Johnson, one of England’s greatest literary figures (born, as it happens, in Lichfield). The eighteenth-century poet, essayist, lexicographer, and biographer began filing parliamentary reports in the 1740s, and often had to use his imagination to describe how elected officials conducted the people’s business—journalists were banned from attending parliamentary debates at the time, and so Johnson had to piece together his reports using bits of information gathered from witnesses. Or he just made things up. Many of the speeches today attributed to William Pitt (the Younger) were actually written by Johnson, who simply printed what he imagined Pitt had said.
Today, sketch writers don’t need to make anything up partly because they are allowed to watch parliamentary proceedings, but also because they have such great material. Sketch writers differ from typical legislative correspondents in that their primary duty is to provide colorful accounts of parliamentary debates, not report hard news based on interviews with sources or analysis of thick government reports. The closest approximation to a sketch writer in the U.S. is The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, whose three-year-old “Washington Sketch” is described as “an observational column about political theater in the White House, Congress and elsewhere in the Capital.” While Milbank has the entirety of Washington—think-tank events, scandal personalities, foreign dignitaries—as his canvas, the U.K.’s sketch writers, aside from the annual party conferences and parliamentary elections, are limited to writing about what transpires in the parliamentary chamber.
The lack of sketch writers in American journalism is attributable to the fact that actual debates in Congress are rare (though John McCain has proposed a ritual similar to that of Britain’s Prime Minister’s Questions). Every week, the prime minister ventures to the House of Commons, where he is subjected to merciless questioning from not only the backbenchers in his own ranks, but also members of opposition parties. Other days of the week, government ministers also face questioning. As any American viewer of c-span (where Prime Minister’s Questions is one of the most popular programs) knows, a member of Parliament who rises to speak risks a barrage of insults and jeers no matter what he or she says. (“New Labor, new hair,” Labor MPs yelled at Fabricant when he rose to ask a question not long after their party’s 1997 election victory.) A day in Parliament makes a congressional hearing look like the q&a segment at the Miss America pageant. Sketch writers turn in copy typically four times a week, regardless of how amusing the day’s events. “If we didn’t know how to sketch boring, we’d be out of a job,” Ann Treneman, a sketch writer for the London Times, tells me.
Four of the country’s newspapers (The Guardian, the Independent, the Times, and the Daily Telegraph) have regular sketch writers, and the Daily Mail employs one intermittently. Given the nakedly nonobjective nature of British newspapers, sketch writers—who usually work themselves up the ranks to achieve their envied positions—tend to mirror the editorial stances of their employers. Hoggart tells me that the sketches of his colleague Quentin Letts, for instance, reflect the “populist hatred for politicians that you expect in a reader of the Daily Mail”—the Mail being synonymous with an old-fashioned England obsessed with the causes of unimpeded immigration and fox hunting. Hoggart is the longest serving of the “Guild of Sketch Writers” (as the group calls itself), having written sketches “on and off” for The Guardian since 1973. P. J. O’Rourke calls him the “P. G. Wodehouse of Westminster,” and it’s not hard to see why. In 2005, witnessing the triumphant return of George Galloway to the House of Commons (days earlier, Galloway had wowed Americans with his Scottish brogue-inflected ranting before a U.S. Senate subcommittee that called him to testify about his alleged taking of bribes from Saddam Hussein), Hoggart wrote that the radical left-wing MP’s incredibly short visit to the parliamentary chamber “was the political equivalent of a dog announcing its presence by peeing on a garden wall.” Riffing on a mid-twentieth-century sketch writer’s essay collection entitled The Glories of Parliament, Hoggart tells me that the title would be “inconceivable today, like The Pleasures of Pedophilia.”
“Verbal cartoonists” is how Hoggart describes himself and his colleagues (sketch writers were long the sole sources of reporting on the atmosphere of Parliament; radio broadcasts of parliamentary proceedings did not begin until 1978, and television cameras were not permitted in the House of Commons until 1989). Sketch writers must come up with “endless metaphors” to describe the political figures they cover. Treneman, reminiscing on her descriptions of beleaguered Prime Minister Gordon Brown, remarks, “I do the bear thing. I did the bull thing for a while.” Andrew Gimson, sketch writer for the Daily Telegraph, asks me if Mark Twain ever wrote about American politics, and when I say that it wasn’t his specialty, he remarks that Twain would “have been a very good sketch writer.”
Politicians’ attitude toward sketch writers varies, depending on the personality of the legislator (“Some politicians want to be liked by the sketch writers because they’re sad people,” Treneman says). John Prescott, Tony Blair’s deputy prime minister, was an early and favorite target given his blustering speaking style and a 2001 incident in which he punched a man who threw an egg in his face. In his last Commons appearance, Prescott (who had earlier ridiculed sketch writers as “screenwriters”) complained about the “penny scribblers in the press gallery,” a reference to James Boswell’s description of parliamentary journalists as “obscure scribblers.” While some may see sketch writing as yet another example of the public’s cynical disdain for politics and public servants, a Labor MP (himself sometimes the subject of the sketch writers’ sharp pens) told me that the existence of sketch writing—to the luxury of making light of politics—is a “quintessential part of a mature democracy” that doesn’t exist in countries where the foundations of liberal government are weak. Frank Field, a backbench Labor MP, suggests that “we should have a draconian regulatory body that has the power to take off limbs for offenses to control the way they report our foolishness.” Clearly, the existence of humor in the relationship between British politicians and the “obscure scribblers” who cover them cuts both ways.
For all the mockery Hoggart has heaped upon him, one would understand if Michael Fabricant wanted to strangle his journalistic antagonist. Initially, Hoggart says, this was indeed the case, saying that Fabricant “got very, very upset.” Yet over time, Fabricant began to mellow. Hoggart likes to think this attitudinal change was owed to the popularity of his sketches amongst Fabricant’s constituents; not long after he began writing about Fabricant’s hair, Hoggart says, people in Lichfield began sending him photos depicting the wild variations in their MP’s locks. After Fabricant came close to losing his seat in the 1997 general election, Hoggart tells me he wrote a piece boasting that “my readers had voted for him because they didn’t want me to stop writing about him.” In the decade since, Fabricant has been a recurring feature in Hoggart’s sketches, appearing more often than any other member of Parliament, save perhaps Brown and David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party. “I feel that I invented Michael Fabricant, and it is his duty to me to be as silly as his hair-type substance still is,” Hoggart explained in a December 2007 sketch. In turn, Fabricant has given Hoggart the greatest gift a public official can bestow upon an author: he blurbed the latest collection of his columns. “Simon Hoggart has the unique gift of making me laugh out loud when I read his sketches,” declares the MP on the back cover of Hoggart’s The Hands of History. “Even when they’re about me.”

Şifne mud baths & hot springs
For a spot of relaxation, travel five kilometres outside of Çeşme to bathe in the Şifne mud baths and hot springs. Just off the beach, the thermal hot springs are naturally heated and reach temperatures of around 58℃.
The different pools are said to have healing qualities due to their mineral make up. The therapeutic waters are good for easing plenty of problems including issues to do with a poor metabolism and skin conditions.
Not far north of the main town you'll find the Şifne mud baths. Spend a day here, bathing in the beautifying pools.
According to ancient Legends, Erythrai's king was hunting in the ifne area and witnessed a sick dog be cured from bathing in the thick mud. The king brought the mud home to his daughter who had wounds all over her body, after bathing in the mud the wounds healed, making the mud famous and renaming of the region.

The DataTalk team is very proud to provide your company with a high-quality VoIP service that allows you and your employees to enjoy many great features and conveniences, but we’re also aware how privacy concerns are now more important than ever before.
We fully understand how you may be curious about the privacy associated with all of your VoIP conversations and collected data, and the good news is that DataTalk is here to make you feel much more rest assured about these concerns. Below we’ll be going into detail how we’ll help you and your business team secure your VoIP business phone system.
Use Our SaaS For VoIP Business Calls/Communications
What’s great about partnering up with DataTalk for your VoIP service is that we’ll provide you with a protected hosting solution so you don’t have to install and maintain your company’s entire VoIP infrastructure.
When you work with our specialists, you can always rest easy knowing that your system is fully operational and as up-to-date as possible.
Utilize A Router That Features A Firewall
If your company’s router just so happens to have a firewall, then you should definitely enable it to coincide with your VoIP service. A firewall will always go a very long way when it comes to blocking out any suspicious malware and online activity that may attempt to enter within your communications interface.
What’s also important for business leaders to know is that your current firewall might not necessarily be capable of recognizing your VoIP software, but our team will help you when it comes to ensuring that you obtain a firewall that does work well within your VoIP system.
Be Sure To Update Your Software On A Regular Basis
One of the best ways that you and your business team can ensure the overall privacy of your VoIP system is to update your VoIP software on a regular basis. This will help better ensure that your security measures are being upheld and revised within your network.
Vulnerable business software can be susceptible to hackers and ransomware criminals, which is why we recommend that you have your security software updated about four times each year. If you’re investing in a pure-hosted VoIP service with our team, then we’ll be sure to handle these updates for you so that your software is always on the cutting edge of digital security.
Utilize Data Encryption
It’s absolutely critical for business leaders to understand just how important it is to work with VoIP providers that encrypt all of your important data and information, because this helps you better ensure that no one can intercept your valuable information and exploit it.
Just about every reputable website encrypts their data these days, and if you’re not sure if your website is encrypted then you should take a look at your URL bar when on your site. If there’s a lock icon at the beginning of your URL, then your overall data and VoIP communications are officially encrypted and secure.
But if you don’t see a lock icon, then you should reach out to the DataTalk team and have us provide our comprehensive encryption services.
Work With A Reputable VoIP Provider
There’s no doubt about it that securing your VoIP system will take a whole number of unique steps, but the most important step you can take is simply putting your trust in a high-quality VoIP provider like DataTalk. We invest strongly in security, because we know just how important it is to provide comprehensive business phone system solutions.
Reliability is key for our team, and we’ll be there for your company when you need us. Contact us online or call us at 614-784-7100 to get in touch with our security specialists and learn more about how our VoIP business phone systems can secure your company’s important data!

: Where does "here there be dragons" come from?
The theory is that "Here there be dragons" was written on old maps to indicate the end of the known world. This site says that the phrase was actually found in L*tin on one particular map:

MEET country singer Coby Langham! I would describe Coby Langham and The Citizen Band as having a definite honky tonk sound with a genuine, real-life approach as opposed to commercial country artists that use it as a gimmick. The music and lyrics are thoughtful.
Check out his two new songs to be released on March 13th, titled “Highs and Lows” and “Tequila Tastes So Good”.
What’s your favorite kind of sandwich?
I have to go with ham, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato. Just a touch of mayo. On some good wheat bread.
The Beatles or Elvis? Why?
That one is easy. Elvis. My dad is a huge Elvis fan. We always had tons of Elvis records around the house and dad can do a pretty good impersonation as well. Elvis was the king at our house ha.
Lyrics to live by?
“Sometimes I don’t know where this dirty road has taken me. Sometimes I can’t even see the reason why. I guess I’ll keep gambling. Lots of booze and lots of rambling. It’s easier than just waitin’ round to die”. – Townes Van Zandt
“Desert Island” album?
That’s really tough. Probably one of Waylons greatest hits albums.
What country music artists do you listen to the most?
It changes every week. Right now probably Mike and The Moonpies, Paul Cauthen and Vincent Neil Emerson. I’m on a big Texas kick lately.
How would you describe your “sound”?
I want to sound “honky tonk”. Like if you went in to some random country bar we’re the sound you imagine you’d hear from the band.
Where do you see your musical career in 5 years?
Oh man 5 years. I don’t think that far ahead with the music stuff although I should. My goal is to have other artist record a few songs I’ve written. I feel like that’s where my strong-suit is. In 5 years if someone had recorded a couple of my songs that would be way cool.
Are there any instruments you don’t play but wish you did? Why?
I really wish I had learned piano. I think that would be really cool for song writing. I’m tinkering with the fiddle right now but honestly it’s really bad so far.
What was the best advice you have received?
As far as music advice. My friend Justin Wells taught me how to look our hometown gigs as a supply and demand thing. You don’t want to play around every weekend because people just stop coming out. They just saw you. And it’s over said but a lot of people just told me to be myself and that’s super important I think.
What advice would you give to yourself at the start of your musical career?
I would tell myself to be more patient. You want to say YES to every opportunity but sometimes it’s not in your best interest.
Where does most of your inspiration come from?
I’m a truck driver so I’m on the road a lot. I think most of my inspiration for songwriting comes from really being able to sit with my thoughts all day. I’ll think of a line or two and get them down in a note and come back to them when I’m home.
What do you consider to be your biggest achievement in your career so far?
If I had to pick one I would say being able to play at the same festival with John Prine. We got to do that at the Master Musicians Festival in Somerset, KY a couple years back. He’s probably the best songwriter to ever live in my opinion.
What’s on the horizon for you that you would like to share?
We’ve got 2 new songs being released on all the digital platforms on March 13th. I can’t wait for everyone to hear them. The “Highs and Lows” song features Rod Elkins from Tyler Childers band on the drums. He’s a good friend so it was cool to get him in on that one.

Given the news of sizzling job growth for three straight months, the stock market welcomed the May employment report with open arms. But take another look. Wages and other costs are accelerating at a time when productivity is slowing down, and the Federal Reserve is ready to start tightening monetary policy. In the past, that combination has been a surefire recipe for a squeeze on profit margins and slower earnings growth. Should investors show more concern that future earnings will fall short of expectations?
Relax. Corporate America is in a solid position to generate profits in the coming year, although not at the same spectacular pace of recent quarters. Time and again, this recovery has proved itself to be far different from those in the past. And that will certainly be the case for earnings in coming quarters. True, many of the recent pluses for profits -- rising productivity, easy monetary policy, and falling labor costs -- are set to change direction. But none of the reversals will be so sharp as to trigger a collapse in profits.
FIRST, TAKE PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH. Output per hour worked is slowing, but it's coming down from a torrid 5.4% pace of the past year, which matches a 21-year high. The annual rate during the past two quarters has averaged 3.1%, and based on normal business-cycle patterns, a further slowdown is likely. However, productivity won't implode: Competition remains fierce in the new global economy, and businesses will be forced to maintain their past productivity gains.
The 1960s offer a key example, since that period of high productivity and low inflation is the most comparable to the current economic climate. During the first 10 quarters of the recovery from the 1960-61 recession, productivity grew at an annual rate of 4.9%, compared with 4.3% in the current recovery. By the third year of that upturn, unit labor costs were still under control, even while job growth was picking up strongly and wages were growing at a healthy clip.
A similar pattern will help to limit the cost squeeze on businesses in the coming year. Unit labor costs have already begun rising, as productivity has slowed and as workers' pay and benefits have increased at an annual rate of 4.4% during the past two quarters. However, even with unit costs rising at an annual rate of 1.2% over the same period, prices are growing at about the same pace, and that has allowed profit margins to remain about stable.
Moreover, the pickup in job growth doesn't mean companies have suddenly decided to sacrifice past efficiency gains. Instead, businesses are adding workers because they cannot satisfy booming demand with their existing workforces. That's suggested by the extremely lean level of inventories and the fact that delivery times are the slowest in decades.
As a result, businesses added a hefty 248,000 jobs to their payrolls in May, bringing the total gains over the past three months to nearly 1 million (chart). Overall hiring was the broadest in six years, and the number of higher-paying jobs increased. Manufacturers alone added 84,000 slots over the past three months, the largest such rise since 1998.
The gain in higher-paying jobs means average wages are starting to pick up. So far this year, hourly earnings of production workers, about two-thirds of all payroll jobs, have grown at an annual rate of 3%, compared with the 1.8% pace for all of last year. That's comfortably faster than inflation, giving a boost to workers' buying power.
ONE REASON THE RISE IN PAY, along with the recent surge in hiring, will not crimp profits much is because employers are benefiting from the new flexibility of the U.S. labor markets. Businesses are increasingly adjusting their workforces to meet fluctuations in demand while maintaining past productivity gains.
For example, temporary workers, which are less than 2% of total employment, accounted for 20% of the layoffs posted during the recession. And since jobs turned up last autumn, additions of temps have accounted for 12% of the overall payroll gains. Labor's flexibility will allow businesses to keep their costs better aligned with their sales growth, and that's always a plus for profits.
Another new trend that is also favorable to the profits outlook is the return of better pricing power, thanks to the continued surge in demand. That was a point made by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan in a speech on June 8. Greenspan noted that the sharp recovery in profits over the past couple of years reflected a swing from steep business discounting to "a significant degree of pricing power." He pointed out that in May consumer prices, excluding food and energy, were rising at a 1.4% yearly pace, up from a 0.8% rate in December.
More pricing power is on the way. A survey of chief executives done by TEC International Inc. found that 54% of companies expect to increase the prices of their products over the next 12 months. And the National Federation of Independent Business reports that among small-business owners, 25% noted higher selling prices in May, the highest reading since 1989 (chart). Plans to raise prices are double what they were a year ago.
BUT DESPITE SIGNS OF more pricing power, any rise in inflation will most likely be limited. Global competition, productivity gains, and continued slack in the labor markets will contain inflation at a low level. Moreover, Greenspan served notice in his June 8 speech that, if the policymakers' current sanguine view of inflation is wrong, then the Fed "is prepared to do what is required to fulfill our obligations to achieve the maintenance of price stability." That means the Fed is not locking itself into rate hikes in increments of only a quarter-point.
More than likely, though, dramatic Fed action won't be needed. Policymakers believe that pricing patterns are simply returning to normal cyclical trends after abnormally weak conditions in recent years. They also think the spring jumps in the price indexes were the temporary result of higher commodity prices, which have now turned down. If so, that will allow the Fed to keep its pledge to tighten policy at a "measured" pace, including a probable quarter-point hike at its June 29-30 meeting.
A gradual pace of tightening means that demand will not be hobbled by sharply rising interest rates. That offers a final plus for the profit outlook. Corporate revenues will remain sturdy. Rising sales will help to offset the squeeze on profit margins as productivity slows and costs pick up. But even if margins have topped out after rising for more than two years, they will remain at a high level. As a result, a sizable chunk of those revenues will fall to the bottom line.
The positive trends for profits are coming at the same time that the renewed vigor in the job markets means faster income growth for consumers. That's because economic growth is now better balanced between productivity and labor. And for the next few quarters, at least, investors, businesses, and consumers all will be reaping the financial benefits of a strong recovery.

While the rise in fuel prices gained momentum, the government added a simulator to its employees this Thursday, so they obtained the gains in purchasing power from their measurements. It can be accessed from Economie.gouv.fr.
As of January 1, 2018, CSG has increased by 1.7 points for everyone. In turn, employees paid less social security contributions. The rate of 0.75% for health insurance was abolished and the unemployment rate of 2.40% fell to 0.95%. For a worker with a gross salary of 2000 euros, this represents an increase of € 10.60 in his net salary.
Since October, the disease contribution has been removed. For the same employee, this means a gain of 19 Euros on the salary slip.
Social protection financing
The simulator also includes an example of a payslip to visualize which lines develop. The government is talking about ın net salary gain değiş because you must understand that the increase is only in net salary, and your gross salary does not change unless your employer gives you an increase. The government has no hand.
Simply put, fewer contributions were paid to finance social protection. On the contrary, pensioners, such as unemployment benefit, who are not eligible according to the definition, now finance an increase of 1.7 percentage points without supporting a 60% increase by supporting the increase in CSG. they
An employee, who received 2000 gross monthly euros compared to 2017, will see a net salary increase of € 184.14 this year and € 355.14 in 2019.

As you all know, the holidays are here and because of that I get to spend more time with the hubs and also have more time and energy to spend making things in the kitchen! And I have to admit, I’m loving it! (: Not needing to rush the cooking process to get food on the table after work and cooking the same dishes over and over again. No more clock-work, not for the next 2 and a half weeks anyways!
Remember the lemongrass beef vermicelli salad we had at MissChu’s a few days back? The mr loved it so much, he asked me to try and make him some for dinner a few nights back. And so I did! Looking for recipes to help me make some lemongrass beef and off to the market I went and straight back into the kitchen.
So glad I did give this a shot. It was so so good, the Mr said he doesn’t mind having it every day! hehe I decided to just make up my own dressing for the salad, according to what I thought I tasted. haha Thankfully, it turned out really well. Sour, sweet and just a tad bit of spicy! So do give it a try! It’s really something I wouldn’t mind having every day and you could easily change the protein! I’ve tried it with chicken and it was super yums as well! Might try it with prawns or a firm fish as well. hehe but if you like red meat, can never really go wrong with beef! (:
This was the chicken thigh fillet version. Works equally well! (:
Lemongrass Beef Rice Vermicelli Salad
For marinade (adapted from epicurious.com)
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, finely chop the tender part (about 6-inches of the bottom)
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbs fish sauce
1 tbs light soy sauce
3 tsp caster sugar
2 tbs vegetable oil
1/2 tsp sesame oil
500g beef scotch fillet (or other proteins you like)
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and marinade the steaks in a large ziplock bag or container. Place it in the fridge and allow it to marinade for at least 2 hours. The longer you marinade, the tastier it gets!
For the dressing :
4 tbs sweet chilli sauce
2 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs fish sauce
For the salad :
150g dried rice vermicelli (the thicker ones)
25g bean shoots/sprouts (blanched and cooled)
150g mixed salad leaves (washed and spun dry)
1/4 cup coriander (wash well and spun dry)
1 lebanese cucumber (deseeded and thinly sliced diagonally)
2 tbs fried shallots, for garnish
1) In a large bowl, soak the noodles in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain noodles and blanch it in hot water. Careful not to leave it too long in the boiling water, as it will turn too soft (1 min max). Still want the noodles to have a bit of a bounce. Run the noodles under cold water to stop them from cooking further. Set aside while preparing the beef.
2) Preheat the oven at 200 degrees celcius. Heat a non-stick pan on high heat and sear both sides of the scotch fillets. Place them on a baking rack and bake them for 10 minutes. While waiting, prepare the salad dressing.
3) For the dressing : Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and sugar has dissolved completely. Taste it and you can adjust the amounts of vinegar or sugar depending on your personal taste.
4) Take the beef out and place it on a chopping board and let it stand for 3-4 minutes. Slice diagonally.
5) Plating up : Place the salad leaves and half of the coriander at the bottom of the bowl. Then pour the dressing a tablespoon at a time, mixing and coating the salad leaves well (about 1-2 tbs). Top the salad leaves with the noodles and the sliced cucumber. Place the beef on top of the noodles, garnishing with the rest of the coriander and the fried shallots. Drizzle another tablespoon of dressing over the top and serve.
The Mr definitely enjoyed his salad, look how clean it is! hehe (:
So here you go, an asian spin to the usual salad just so you got more options now! hehe Hope you all will like it as much as we do!

Population, Book 2
Saltlands picks up exactly where Population left off. Kane has been captured by the Notare Elise. Abel and Mikey (Mikael - Kane's younger brother) have escaped her clutches only to try and figure out how to get Kane from her. Now we have an asshole of a brother, Mikey, treking across country to get Kane back using only the blood bond he shares with Abel. During their travel, Abel is ... Brutally beaten ... I mean ... BRUTALLY. Man ... Abel goes through so much shit in this book that I'm just tired! Anyway ... She ends up being brutally beaten after having to save Mikey's ass, who abandons her. He comes to his senses and goes to get her before going into the Saltlands (Seattle) to save Kane from Notare Elise and whatever she's doing to him.
What did I like? Every f*cking thing imaginable. I can't even. Like. I liked Population but I LOVE Saltlands. I'm just. Yall. I can't. Being out in Population is as close to being in hell as you can get. I don't know of many authors who can accurately convey anxiety like Elizabeth Stephens can. You are CONSTANTLY anxious when out in Population because the sh*t is so real that you can't predict just how bad things will go. The interaction between Mikey and Abel was incredibly well written as well as Mikey's character development. From the very start of the book and up to the end, you can see every bit of change in him that he makes. Abel's 'fight' is still unmatched. I know of probably only 2 other fictional characters who could go through that amount of stuff and still keep ticking and holding on to their true selves in the process. Abel is one of the best written female protags out there. She's still very connected to her emotions but she just doesn't make those emotionally rash/charged decisions. The girls head is on straight even if she's half dead. The world building is impeccable, all the characters are written well. I really enjoyed the detail put into fleeting characters that reminded Abel of someone. It makes me think that we may be seeing them again in the next story. Now, although this ends Abel's story ... It's just the beginning of someone elses that will start in book 3. And I can honestly say that I am down for whoever the author pics to focus her next phase of this series on.
What did I not like about this? Absolutely nothing. *kanye shrug* It was on point. If I had to gripe on anything, I would have liked to see the Lavhe (sp?) in action more. I got the implication of how badass he was but I didn't get to see it.
Overall I'm still wanting to find out more about Abel being a human with her new 'specialty.' I would also like some kind of update about Abel's name. I really just want more. I feel like whining. I loved this so much. THanks so much to Elizabeth Stephens for sending it over. I'm just ... Mikey is a new favorite of mine.
Seriously ... I have 3 top favorite women in books. Jane Yellowrock, Kate Daniels, and Mercy Thompson (yes, I talk shit about Mercy but I still love her). I'm not yet about to add Abel to my list but I have a feeling I will be down the line.

Alpha: War of the Alphas, Book 3
Pas: War of the Alphas, Book 4
I decided to review both of these books since I read them back to back. I'm going to keep this brief, though since details from each book are mumbled due to reading them so close behind each other ...
Anyway ... Book 3 picks up after Deirdre was brought back to life. Books 3 and 4 are a little bit of the darker side than books 1 and 2. These two are really ... Tiring.
Details are short right now, I just need to say a few things about each.
The tone, in my opinion, changes from book 2 to 3. Then 3 and 4 get darker and darker. Deirdre is being teased by an animal who is a lot like her, having fire, but it's more like ... He's dangling this complicated life in front of her and she decides not to pursue this option, which I think was smart. The most incredible thing about the last 2 books is seeing Deirdre basically turn into Everton Stark. When you start the series, you kind of get the sense that she's seeing things his way, but there comes a time when she's fully understanding why he is the way he is and it's a little scary. However ... She maintains a bit of her true self underneath ... At least enough to see how wrong things have gone and will do what needs to be done to fix it. By book 4, I think I spent the second half of that book almost in tears. But I thought it was great because Deirdre finally got the chance to stop, think, breathe, and cry. She needed it SO much.
The ending, in regards to the main outcome of the election, is predictable. And I only say that because I've read SM Reine's work before. I started out with a couple of a books (that I didn't review) that focused on Rylie Gresham ... Going to camp ... Getting bitten ... All of that. I remember decided not to continue the series simply because I don't like Rylie. And even now, even though this series takes place a long time after Rylie being a teen ... I still don't like her. But it's not all the time. My problem is, I'm such a big fan of Deirdre that I don't want any opposition and I don't want her caving to Rylie Gresham ... Which happens ... BUT ... By that time, it's okay.
The best thing about this series is you get mind fucked. You go in naïve and basically blind. Deirdre is surviving on fear and confusion. Then she's intrigued because maybe there's a way she'll find that she's not an Omega. Later, you're sucked into having to deal with being Alpha, dealing in politics, being disappointed, falling in confused lust ... Then going to save the Alpha, and the election in the process. And she has to do this while un-mindfucking herself. IT'S A LOT! This series was really well written from top to bottom. It pulled at my heart immensely and I was mostly happy with the ending. I especially love when Stark basically goes of the deep end when dealing with his family.
However ... SM left us a breadcrumb. Deirdre leaves Stark a little gift at the end so I'm more than anxious to find out what kind of series or mention spins from this in the future.
Reminder: Deirdre is black. She's described as having cocoa colored skin, a small gap between her teeth and hair a little past her shoulders. Below are the covers for 2 of the German versions of the series. They feature a black model. The covers are beautiful, right?
Also ... Abel (Rylie's mate) is black. Queen Ofelia is as well but you only get her briefly in book 3.

Sometimes I get so tired of trying to be someone or do something. I don’t know. Is everyone wired to wish that they were something more than they will ever become? Why are humans so fucking discontent. There are sermons about this almost every Sunday when you really break it down. Trying to teach us to go ahead and just be okay with whatever is happening in the world and in our lives and think that all is truly for the best – when reality is that we’re all trapped in this never ending systematic machine and life is a series of meaningless tasks and quests.
It feels that way today at least.
I wake up.
I do chores. I take care of my kids. I pine away about places I’ve been and people I miss – but in the end everything ends up basically the same. The same dreams are deferred to another season, another time.
I want to understand all of these things. I want to continue walking becasue society tells me that suicide is not the answer – and yet… I contemplate my own death many times a day. Many times a day I find myself thinking about the mortality or immortality of my soul. I find myself wondering if the soul is even a real thing or a simple imagincary manifestation that we conjoured to make life bearable. – because really, what are we doing here. What are we doing here right now. While I’m typing this. Who do I think that I am going to see? Who do I think is going to end up viewing this thing that I’m rwriting. This thing that I’m doing what my life and with myself. Because right now I don’t see an end that makese sense. I don’t see any end at all

Kentucky native Amtrac first met singer and songwriter Meli at the Smirnoff Sound Collective retreat at Rancho V in Joshua Tree, a two-day retreat that brought together artists from all backgrounds and walks of life to celebrate diversity in electronic music. With creativity flowing and talent abound, it was no surprise that the two immediately found a groove and created 'Some Of Them'.
The track is funky with a retro-tinge, recalling to much of Amtrac's already existing catalogue, but is boosted by the gripping, powerful vocal overlays from Meli. The track itself is a testament to the exciting outcomes from the Smirnoff Sound Collective, showcasing the best of both artists in the most spontaneous fashion. "It still amazes me that this vocal was recorded in one take," Amtrac says of the track. "All improvised."
The track marks the second release to be unveiled from the Smirnoff Sound Collective initiative following 'Nubes' from Mexican rapper Niña Dioz and Detroit-based producer Shigeto, which will continue on with a string of tracks that will highlight unprecedented pairings between artists of the SSC and mentors, including MK, Joe Ray of NERO, Kevin Saunderson, Roy Davis Jr. and more.
'Some Of Them' will be released on an upcoming EP called 'True Value' out on April 21 on Amtrac's own OPENERS label, which debuted with the release of his '1987' EP in February.
Hear 'Some Of Them' below and learn more about the Smirnoff Sound Collective here.

The Importance of Being Easy To Work With...
Your shoots have various facets to them, of which you may not be aware. On some occasions, locations are reserved, make-up artists hired, along with additional talent being hired, etc. If you are late, you set back an entire crew, costing time and money.
ALWAYS be on time! Present yourself as a professional; be respectful of everyone’s time by arriving on set at the correct time and ready to shoot. Respect begins with the proper attitude – regardless of your rise in fame, remain humble and don’t be bossy! No one enjoys being around those who are chronically moody, complaining or have an attitude.
Remember: If you’re difficult to work with or don’t respect people’s time, you are hurting your ability to secure a lucrative career.

Fifteen Forwards, Six DefensemenDecember 11, 2009, by
Preface: This rant has zero organization. Read at your own risk.
You don’t have to be an avid Ranger fan to know that when Glen Sather and John Tortorella decide to send Matt Gilroy to Hartford, but retain a whopping 15 forwards on the active roster, that something isn’t right. Sure, Brandon Dubinsky is hurt, so technically it’s 14 forwards. But a third of those forwards are of the Erik Christensen ilk.
Sending Matt Gilroy to Hartford to find his game definitely alleviates the cap situation for a little while. He doesn’t have to pass through waivers when he is called up, unlike the rest of the defensive corps. But if someone could tell me why this team is retaining 14 forwards, of which 5 are no better than third liners, I would greatly appreciate it. I mean, there has to be a method to the madness. Right?
The pickup of Erik Christensen, while puzzling, isn’t a crippling move. His salary is low enough that it alone doesn’t make or break the Rangers. But when you start adding on the little contracts that are wasting away on the bench (Aaron Voros – $1 million, Donald Brashear – $1.4 million, Enver Lisin – $790k), all of a sudden you have four players making roughly $4 million to play 7 minutes a game combined. That’s almost $500,000 a minute.
The Rangers have cap issues because of the ridiculous contracts given to Wade Redden, Chris Drury, and Michal Rozsival, that much is certain. What cannot be ignored is the complete mishandling of the cap by the Rangers in the makeup of the rest of the team. In addition to the $4 million above, you have $3 million in Ales Kotalik, who can’t sustain third line time on a team that has zero scoring depth. Did Glen Sather really pay $3 million for someone who can only play on the powerplay?
Fans would be understanding of the cap situation if the team was at least balanced. But yet, there is still no seventh defenseman, which this team still needs. But as of now, the Rangers will need to put three forwards in the press box for games. As per Andrew Gross, the odd man out (aside from the injured Dubinsky and Brashear), is P.A. Parenteau.
On the bright side, things can only get better. I hope.

Understanding the Role of Corporate Governance in Financial Institutions: A Research Agenda
Time to read
After the 2008 financial crisis, a substantial part of the blame for the numerous bank failures that occurred as a result of the crisis has been put on corporate governance. Consequently, regulation and supervision have been enhanced both as a complement to the corporate governance of financial institutions and as a substitute for the same in areas where governance failures appear more evident. In a recent paper, I argue that the swinging of the pendulum between corporate governance and financial regulation may have gone too far, as a result of the ‘nirvana fallacy’ that often affects reformers. I suggest, therefore, that corporate governance should recover some of the lost ground, possibly through spontaneous enhancement of the role of boards by financial institutions and cautious deregulation of the governance mechanisms by supervisory authorities. I also suggest that proposals to reform corporate law for financial institutions, for instance by restricting the scope of the business judgement rule, should be rejected, as this would adversely affect entrepreneurship and stifle innovation in the financial sector.
The financial crisis has led to a restatement of the global principles concerning the corporate governance of financial institutions in the belief that governance failures contributed to these institutions’ failures in the crisis. Similarly, international principles and standards on sound compensation practices were adopted. Both sets of principles emphasize the relationship between governance and compensation, on one side, and risk management by financial institutions, on the other.
Indeed, governments and regulators rely on corporate governance as a complement to financial supervision, which explains why regulation is on the rise in this area. In brief, regulation requires boards of directors and their risk committees to oversee the undertaking and management of risks by financial institutions. Corporate governance therefore serves the purposes of supervisors, to the extent that it should prevent the undertaking of excessive risk by financial institutions. No doubt, the interests of shareholders are also protected. However, wealth maximization by financial institutions is constrained whenever regulation or supervision foreclose the assumption of risk which would be in the interest of shareholders to assume, but could endanger creditors or even threaten systemic stability.
Moreover, post-crisis reforms have extended prudential regulation to areas which reinforce the idea of financial regulation as a substitute for corporate governance, such as incentive compensation. The FSB principles and standards interfere with the structure of compensation in ways that restrict the autonomy of boards. The principles also tackle concerns relative to bonuses, which famously emerged during the recent crisis.
An important question for policy research is to what extent and under what conditions regulation should work either as a complement or a substitute for corporate governance. While an answer can only be given in specific circumstances, I suggest three general criteria. First, the autonomy of boards should be protected, for they represent the main governance mechanism in today’s enterprises. Second, prudential regulation should abstain from setting too detailed requirements as to the organization and functioning of boards. Third, we should distinguish between a regulatory approach and a supervisory approach to the corporate governance of financial institutions. To the extent that the latter approach is followed, flexibility can be maintained particularly in the implementation of international principles. If a regulatory approach is followed, the risk of too detailed rules being issued is relevant and supervisors loose discretion as a result.
Another question for policy research is whether corporate law should be different for financial institutions. The differences between corporate law and financial regulation are reflected in the distinction between fiduciary duties and regulatory duties. The former respond to the interests of shareholders and creditors, while the latter are dictated mainly from a public interest perspective and respond to financial stability concerns. Some scholars argue that the business judgement rule protection leads to excessive risk-taking in a systemically important firm. They suggest a standard of liability that is negligence-based, arguing that the business judgement rule is inappropriate when systemic risks are concerned.
The arguments advanced in my paper point in a different direction. Indeed, financial institutions are enterprises and the business judgement rule protects entrepreneurship in risk-taking, which is essential for firms’ development and sustainability. If the rule were removed or limited in its scope, financial entrepreneurship and innovation would be negatively affected. Moreover, regulatory duties complement fiduciary duties by requiring a greater effort in risk management and oversight. There is no need for corporate law to enhance the duty of care and increase the potential for directors’ civil liability, given that financial regulation already provides enforcement mechanisms to this effect.
To conclude, my paper indicates a research agenda for further work on the topic. Corporate governance effectiveness does not only depend on rules and their enforcement, but also on ethics and culture within the firm. This explains the emphasis put on culture in the post-crisis corporate governance discussion, which underlines the roles that ethics and the relevant monitoring play in the financial services sector. Therefore, future research on the governance of financial institutions should not be limited to legal and economic analysis, but extend to the role and impact of culture and ethics in financial firms from a broad social sciences perspective. In this way, sociology, psychology and anthropology will help us understand the “informal constraints” which determine financial institutions’ behaviour and complement their regulation and supervision.

Last night I was invited by my friends John and Mitch to the free concert given by The Air Force Academy Band. I wasn’t really sure what to expect- probably a lot of marches and rousing patriotic songs, but what the hell, it got me out of the house, and what they did they would probably do well.
The first half of the show began with Leonard Bernstein’s “Slava”, and initiated a melting pot theme, where songs from various cultural traditions and influences (French, Armenian, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Japanese) were featured, all beautifully done. Then, perhaps in a tantalizing taste of things to come, Ragtime’s “Wheels of a Dream” was performed nicely by two vocalists (in appropriate costume) and the band.
The intermission came, and, not having access to a program, I had no idea what was coming up next.
Shostakovich’s “Festive Overture” began the second act, a particularly festive, bubbly and perhaps ironic choice to lead into “Men of Ohio!” which was enhanced with the presence of a handsome (dare I say regal?) Drum Major in full regalia of sash, equestrian gloves, epaulets and, most notably, the oversized baton- who began facing the band with his left hand parked smartly on his hip and his (sparkling) baton raised in a manner that would make any Glinda impersonator proud.
It just got better.
This led us into a tribute to “the Dames of Broadway”, in which the emcee paid tribute to the many leading ladies of the theater, naming specifically Carol Channing, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland (does The Palace count as Broadway?). I was stunned. Delighted but stunned. What followed was a Show-tune Gay’s dream, notably: The Trolley Song; West Side Story’s “America”; Nothing Like a Dame; Sisters (with two men in drag); Victor/Victoria’s Lady of Seville-also featuring drag; Some Enchanted Evening; Don’t Rain on My Parade and Send in the Clowns.
Goodness. If they had sung Over The Rainbow, I wouldn’t have been surprised.
The final two numbers, “America the Beautiful” and a spirited medley of the Armed Forces Fight Songs seemed designed to refocus the show, and the encore, Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” did leave me with a bit of a patriotic tingle.
I don’t want to suggest that only gay people enjoy Broadway Show-tunes, pageantry and sparkling dramatic effect, and I certainly don’t want to negate the positive experience of a military band embracing ethnic and musical diversity, but… still, I couldn’t help but wonder who put the whole program together.
Don’t ask, Greg. Don’t ask.

and only ONE shell comes out! During the process, no air passes through
the materials, boosting safety to a very high level.
Being one shell, shock is transmitted completely on the whole shell
(uniform shock). Other helmets usually glue internal polystyrene to the
shell – not so with co-moulding. The co-moulding process also ensures
that the helmet is very light.
This Jockey Helmet has the Soft padded strap made of Coolmax® and
microfiber, with neck guard that completely surrounds the neck, improves
the fitting and follows perfectly the contours of the face.
Patent/shiney harness with head and neck support on the back and padded to help protect the ears.
Inside in ultra-absorbent Coolmax® fabric ABS High Density shell with
embossed painting so that the helmet cover is firmly fixed.
Soft shockproof section- Polystyrene inside with slots to improve indirect internal ventilation.
High technology materials are used throughout the
making of this high quality helmet. It is a helmet that will definitely
suit the professional rider who knows what riding means.
This helmet has British Safety Standard BSEN 1384 standards; please check with your disciplines rules and regulations for guidance use.

Our goal is to provide equitable access to a broad spectrum of books, authors, and professional role models. Our program is designed to impact school climate and culture and alter adverse or indifferent attitudes toward reading.
Page Turners’ Partner Schools will be immersed in a literacy-rich environment. Partner School “Teacher Leaders” will receive resources, books, a professional learning workshop and a Page Turners’ Teacher Leader Mentor. We will demonstrate how to implement a student book club as an effective reading block in the classroom. We will provide techniques to enhance social emotional learning, metacognition and teaching across content.
Applications are OPEN for 2021-2022!
Please download and complete the application if you are interested in becoming a Partner School.
Given the demand for our program, we will select a limited number of schools for the 2020-21 academic year. Previous Partner Schools are eligible to apply. However, applications are reviewed annually based on merit and need.
Please note: If your school is not selected as a partner school this year, there may be opportunities available for your school to participate in a district-wide literacy event or read-a-thon.

The biggest barrier to remote work that most people identify is the lack of visual cues, that is, when you’re working remotely with someone else, you cannot see them and therefore don’t have as much information about them as you would face to face. It’s much more difficult to determine how someone else feels about an idea (or about you) if you cannot read their body language or see their facial expressions.
Technology makes a big difference. For remote workers, one of the most important technology considerations is flexibility. Remote workers are typically more effective if they (a) have a range of technology options that they can choose from, and (b) know how to choose technology to fit the needs of a given task or situation.
With technology, there is often a trade-off between speed and richness. For example, reaching your manager to alert him/her to an unfolding crisis requires speed, and initially is often best accomplished via a technology such as text message or IM. On the other hand, once the manager is alerted, she is likely to have questions about the crisis that require a richer medium of communication, such as e-mail, to address appropriately. Later on, once the crisis is defused, you may wish to hold a post mortem session with your manager to discuss what went well and what could be done differently in the future to avoid similar crises. This discussion is likely more sensitive and nuanced, and is best conducted via a very rich technology such as Skype or videoconferencing (or at the very least telephone).
Policies and processes can be used to help establish a ‘virtual workspace’ for remote workers. Managers who infrequently (or never) see their remote workers should ensure that they have established clear norms and expectations not only for the work product itself, but also for the relationship the manager expects to have with the worker. Ideally, regular virtual check-ins will be scheduled well in advance, so that the remote worker knows what to expect. It is also critical for managers to make themselves equally available to remote and face-to-face subordinates. Remote workers often report feeling “abandoned” by employers, in large part because they face higher obstacles in competing for their managers’ time and attention.
The need to allocate time for social interaction is often overlooked, that is, conversation related to non-work topics between remote colleagues. In a face-to-face setting, this interaction typically occurs organically, via small talk that takes place between co-workers in passing, or at the beginning of meetings. While it seems inconsequential at the time, this social interaction is an important foundational pillar of strong, trusting professional relationships. Yet, this social step is often bypassed in virtual communications — workers tend to get right to the task at hand, often feeling that socializing by phone or e-mail or videoconference would be construed as unprofessional, or ‘slacking.’
The savvy virtual manager knows that opportunities for social interaction need to be established much more explicitly in a remote work setting. Many managers of remote workers who I have spoken to strategically set aside specific times for remote teams to have social conversations. Some do this as the first 10 minutes of regular team videoconferences, others reserve a longer period — say 30 to 60 minutes — every month, for team members to talk about things they have been doing outside of work. Some managers even go as far as to order pizza or sandwiches to be delivered to their remote workers, timed so that they all arrive at the start of a team meeting. These tactics often feel artificial or stilted at first, but can become an important basis for relationship development, which then leads to more effective, productive work relationships.

Kamikaze Tapes is releasing one of the greatest "post rock" albums of all time, MONO's "You Are There", presented on cassette for the very first time. Created using the original master tracks, individually transferred to CT-30 high bias cobalt tape stock, and housed in an elegant dark blue cassette shell. Full artwork designed using the original specifications and designed to provide an optimum sound quality that is truly outstanding, and makes for a very interesting listen. Limited edition of 150.
Shipping out on or around October 1, 2016
A decade ago Japan post rock band Mono released one of the most intriguing albums in the genre. You Are There is a masterpiece of post rock and one of seldom albums where all elements consolidate in a massive sound and atmosphere which will take you on your own personal journey through time and space. Personally I would place You Are There album right below the massive Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! by Godspeed You Black Emperor!. Now available also on cassette, which makes so much more fun to hear how it will sound since it's transferred from original master. You better warm up your Nakamichi.

Josh do you remember the time I had that coconut drink with all the moist chunks in it? What about do you remember the time I had the coconut drink that spit in my mouth? FORGET ALL THOSE TIMES because I have a new coconut beverage.
What is it about coconut, I wonder. It keeps luring me back with the promise of virgin tropics and a life free from worry. In my quiet moments, I don’t actually consider myself to be a coconut person. I don’t like the sun or the beach. I don’t care for the outdoors, or for “weather”. I don’t find myself in the produce section thinking Hey, I should eat a coconut. I even remember the one time I had actual coconut– it was 10 years ago. Some friends thought it would be fun to bring one to a picnic, but neglected to bring any kind of useful tools to open it with. Someone spent 10 minutes smashing it furiously against the corner of a picnic table until it burst into a million pieces, all of which landed on the dirty ground. And after all that, it wasn’t even good! Did you know that actual coconut tastes nothing like the shredded stuff you find in candy bars and cakes? I know! I think that was the afternoon I perfected my half-hearted smile, and resolved to seek out new friends. And you know how that turned out for me.
So I have a complicated relationship with coconut. Because still, the idea of coconut manages to inhabit. Luckily I am not a dude who dwells unnecessarily on the past, letting it color his modern, waking life, because otherwise I would not have allowed this beverage to seduce me.
It tasted EXACTLY like I wanted. It was lovely and coconuty, sweet and bubbly. I could chill with this on a long evening, regaling others with tales of youthful folly and friends I no longer care to associate with. This beverage is sitting in the air-conditioned lobby in the hotel by the beach, rather than sitting on the sand, under the sun, sweating and dying.
For some people, smashing a coconut against the corner of a picnic table, then crouching in the grass while brushing the dirt and bugs off the exploded shards, is a fine way to spend an afternoon. As for me, I like someone wearing white cotton gloves to pour a beverage such as this into a coconut and then hand it to me, before trotting off to turn the a/c up just a titch. I guess that’s why you and I are such good friends. Cheers.

I’m not lonely because my father is here.
My father is German.
My father is very good at milking cows.
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. This is the polite and humble form of father. You use this when you're talking about your own father to other people, especially if you aren't very close to them.
The reading for this word is the same as the one you learned when learning the kanji.

Matthias Heinrich Göring (b. 1879-d. 1945) was a German psychiatrist, born in Düsseldorf. He died in prison in Poznan because he was an active Nazi.
Like fellow Adlerians Seif and Fritz Künkel, Göring placed an emphasis upon "community feeling," to which he added German patriotism and Christian pietism. He was therefore critical of psychoanalysis for its alleged materialism and pansexualism.
Göring's significance in the history of psychoanalysis stems from his career after 1933. His position as leader of organized psychotherapy in Nazi Germany stemmed from the fact that he was an elder cousin of Nazi boss Hermann Göring. In part to protect the fledgling institution of psychotherapy against Nazi medical activists and university psychiatrists, Göring (who joined the Nazi party in 1933) preached against "Jewish" psychoanalysis and supervised the exclusion of Jewish psychoanalysts from his society and institute.
In 1934 Göring assumed leadership of the German General Medical Society for Psychotherapy and from 1936 to 1945 was director of the German Institute for Psychological Research and Psychotherapy in Berlin. In 1938 he presided over the destruction of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute and the dissolution of the German Psychoanalytic Society, although also protecting and employing psychotherapists, Felix Boehm, and Carl Müller-Braunschweig, Harald Schultz-Hencke, and Werner Kemper. He was friend to Karen Horney.

Greensboro Grasshoppers Bat Dog Miss Lou Lou Gehrig Dies
Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any doggone worse, the Greensboro Grasshoppers announced on Tuesday the death of 9-year-old batdog Miss Lou Lou Gehrig.
Lou Lou was the last of a trio of lovable Black Labradors whose zest for retrieving bats and balls and hijinks during between-innings entertainment made nights out in Greensboro even more memorable.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for our organization, our fans, and the Greensboro community,” Grasshoppers president and general manager Donald Moore said. “Lou Lou was adored by our fans and loved retrieving bats and balls. We are deeply saddened by her death.”
Lou Lou was preceded by her uncle Master Yogi Berra (the only dog ever to be ejected from a baseball game), who died in 2017, and her aunt Miss Babe Ruth (whose ball-bucket found its way to Cooperstown), who died in 2018.
All three dogs went after bats with incredible passion. Whether the bat was whole or in shards, on the ground or still in the batter's hand after a strikeout, they knew that once their handler let go of their collar it was their time to shine.
No Greensboro game was complete until Miss Lou Lou went on her postgame base race. After being let loose at home plate, she'd race to first, second, third and back home again, stopping to boop each bag with her snout. It was the kind of thing that made fans wait just a little longer before heading to their cars.
Master Yogi and Miss Babe are memorialized with a statue just outside Greensboro's home park, and the release announcing Miss Lou Lou's death notes that a memorial for all three dogs is forthcoming.
Miss Lou Lou is survived by her half-sister, Little Jackie Robinson. The team asks that any memorial donated be made to Greensboro Grasshoppers Charities, c/o the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, 330 South Greene Street, Suite 100, Greensboro, NC 27401.

Dell's New Workstation, Enterprise Products Impress
- Mar 25, 2009 5:21 PM EST
- [num] Comments
I happened to be on the west coast this week, and stopped by Dell's announcement of new enterprise products, where I saw a lot of big enterprise servers, storage and workstations products. The company introduced 20 new products under an "efficient enterprise" marketing tag, but I was most impressed by the new Precision workstations that have the new high-end Xeon processors, the ability to add top-end graphics, and support for huge amounts of local memory.
A lot of the discussion was about servers and storage, and driving a better Total Cost of Ownership through new management tools. Dell announced its 11-generation PowerEdge servers, which it claims has improved virtualization performance; best performance per watt; and embedded system management. The new products use Intel's new Xeon processors based on the "Nehalem" design, which will be officially released next week. These processors add things like an integrated memory manager and support for the Quick Path Interconnect. Intel's Kurt Skaugen said you could replace 9 single-core servers with a single Nehalem server.
Steve Schuckenbrock, Dell's president of Large Enterprise and Dell senior vice president Brad Anderson talked about both price/performance and all sorts of little details which they said differentiate Dell's servers. The company announced both its PowerEdge single and dual-socket servers as well as its M-series blade server. And it announced new EqualLogic PS6000 iSCSI servers for mid-range storage. (Dell also has the PowerVault series for direct-attach storage and sells EMC's storage on the high-end.) New in the storage line are better support for virtualization and better management. Dell has a new management console based on technology from Symantec's Altiris group.
But what I was personally most interested in are the new workstations. Within the Precision workstation line, Dell introduced three workstations. The T3500 is a small single-socket design; the T5500 is a compact dual-socket system; and the T7500 is a larger, more upgradeable dual-socket machine. The machines take Intel 3500 and 5500 series Xeon processors (the 5500 is designed for multiple sockets), based on the "Nehalem-EP" design, meaning that they have four cores and 8 threads; support for 1066 MHz and 1333 MHz DDR 3 memory; speeds up to 3.2 GHz; and support for "turbo burst" which shuts down some of the cores to run a single-threaded application at a faster clock speed. Some workstations applications can use multiple cores and threads, particularly those in visual computing and analysis; but others are mostly single-threaded, where the "turbo boost" will come in handy.
All the machines start with 6 DIMM slots for memory. In the 5500, you can add a second processor on a riser that includes an extra 3 DIMM slots; in the 7500, the riser includes a second processor and 6 extra DIMM slots, so on that machines you can now get up to 192 GB of RAM.
Dell supports both Nvidia Quadro and ATI Firepro workstation graphics -in particular, the ATI FirePro V3750 and V5700, and the Nvidia Quadro FX4800 and FX5800. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the 7500 will support SLI for multiple Nvidia graphics cards. Why is this important to me? I was looking for a workstation recently that had the latest processors and SLI graphics, as I've been trying out Nvidia's CUDA tools for doing some processing on the GPU. (SLI isn't out quite now, but the product manager told me the hardware already supports it, it just needs a driver upgrade that is undergoing certification.) This is the first workstation I've seen that seems to have both features. The line is scheduled to start shipping next week.
Here is PCMag's news story on the Dell announcement, and here's a take on Lenovo's workstation announcement yesterday, which also used the same processors. HP is certainly to announce its new workstations shortly.
Any way you look at it, workstations are getting a lot more powerful -- and that's really good news for people with very demanding applications.

So, let's take a trip back in time...the year was 2012 and we'd just exited the bus for our first tour, Christopher Mello's garden. Now it was my understanding that this was not only Christopher's garden but also a site that hosted gatherings and creative events for youths. It was certainly a very playful garden - not only all the Tonka trucks but the playful color combos in the plantings, the recycled bits of rusty machinery and all the vibrant bottle trees.
These are the blue poppies that Chris had selected and seems to have stabilized the color. I wish I had gotten some seed.
The next garden we visited was of a similar vein, combining gardens with a place to be creative. The Burton Street Community Peace Gardens were created from an abandoned lot and allowed neighbors to grow veggies in raised beds and provided a safe space for kids to explore, create and learn. I have to admit I found the recycled-multi-media sculpture/play areas endlessly fascinating.

As major makeovers go, Jackson Glenn definitely made the most of his me time during the pandemic.
He transformed his body, tweaked his swing and went from a .233 hitter in 2020 to the Missouri Valley player of the year.
Glenn is one of the reasons that Dallas Baptist (37-15) is making its seventh consecutive trip to the NCAA baseball tournament. The Patriots are the No. 3 seed in the Fort Worth Regional and will face second-seeded Oregon State (34-22) at 1 p.m. Friday at TCU’s Lupton Stadium. Top-seeded TCU (40-17) plays fourth-seeded McNeese State (32-28) at 6 p.m. Friday.
Glenn, one of five seniors who decided to return to DBU for an extra year of NCAA eligibility, leads a potent lineup in batting (.364), home runs (19), RBIs (49), slugging (.738) and OPS (1.176).
“He took a huge jump for us,” DBU coach Dan Heefner said. “I think he would have turned it around last year and had a solid season. But the big thing for him is he really changed his body during the quarantine time and it totally changed him as a player. …
“Just a guy who said he was going to do something to make himself better and really transformed himself as a player.”
Glenn said he wanted to maximize his potential on the field.
“I kind of came upon the decision looking back at 2020 and everything was taken away,” Glenn said. “I realize that I wasn’t the best version of myself that I could have been.”
Glenn embraced the 75 Hard Challenge, a regimen developed by podcaster, author and motivational speaker Andy Frisella, one that is wildly popular on TikTok. The basics are 75 days to change your body. The highlights include two workouts a day for at least 45 minutes, no cheat meals and water, lots and lots of water.
“Mentally, it’s super draining not to have any cheat meals but to be able to focus on why I’m doing this, to better myself as a baseball player as well as the team, that fueled me to keep going, keep pushing,” Glenn said. “Certainly, it was one of the biggest decisions I’ve made in my baseball career.”
Glenn not only saw the results in his body but in performance, hitting .383 in the summer Sunflower Collegiate League.
It wasn’t just the workouts, either.
Glenn batted just .233 in the abbreviated 2020 season after a solid first season at DBU in 2019, including a .292 average and 54 RBIs in 63 games. He was the classic doubles hitter with occasional power that season before struggling last year.
“For me, it boiled down to one truth when it comes to hitting,” Glenn said. “When guys try to put up power numbers and try to hit home runs, it almost never happens. Funny as that sounds, it was true for me.”
In what would be the final game of 2020 against Baylor, Heefner offered a counter-intuitive suggestion. He wanted Glenn to concentrate on making contact and hitting line drives up the middle, nothing more. In his first at bat, Glenn homered over the left-field fence.
It wasn’t just the hitting that changed. Slimmed down to 205 pounds, he moved from third base to second and even filled in at shortstop.
“It was a noticeable difference,” senior pitcher Kragen Kechely said. “Early in the fall when he was playing up the middle, he was super impressive making tons of making plays. Just to see the things he’s done to help our team win is pretty crazy.”
He was even 13 of 13 on stolen bases after having just three in his first two seasons.
Glenn came to DBU in roundabout fashion. He grew up in Cedar Hill and played in high school at Ovilla Christian School.
The staff at DBU suggested he go to junior college to work on his game and he spent two productive years at Grayson College.
“At that point, it almost felt right,” Glenn said. “It was a waiting game to see if DBU would call back and respond. Sure enough, they did, and the rest is history.”

Those of us with elder parents spend a lot of time thinking about age and change. As adult children, we observe the aging of our parents, but not infrequently we wonder aloud how they got so old. At the same time we don’t always notice how we, too, are growing older.
In October 2014 the New York Times Magazine published a feature by Susan Minot, Forty Portraits in Forty Years, that described the remarkable photographs of the Brown sisters. The photos, shot with the four women in the same order and with somewhat similar poses over 40 years, demonstrate with singular clarity how we grow older. Photographer Nicholas Nixon took the pictures, which were recently displayed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
Although the Brown Sisters exhibit at MoMA is closed, the catalog about the exhibit (see below) is still available.
Time passes incrementally for me, and perhaps for all of us. The slowness of time often dulls my perception of aging for myself and for my loved ones and friends. I’ll go for a long time without thinking about change, and then suddenly I’ll sit up and take notice. Or after a longer separation, I may observe when reunited that a person has changed in some way, but even those perceptions fade the longer we are together.
Interestingly, our somewhat blunted perception of time passing, change, and aging is not just a factor of growing into elderhood and gaining wrinkles. I’ve heard the following comments from people I know — of all ages — just in the past week.
- I was sitting at the high school graduation and could not remember the time between his sixth grade year and senior year.
- I looked at the photograph of my mom and realized that I am the same age as she was in the picture.
- The baby years pass so quickly that I cannot remember them very well.
- How did I change so much without knowing it?
The photos of the Brown sisters offers us 40 years — and 40 images — to measure and perhaps better understand just how much we all grow older and change.

Slideshow: Huge glowing baskets surround the staircases of this former slaughterhouse in Madrid that Spanish architects Churtichaga + Quadra-Salcedo have converted into a cinema.
First constructed at the start of the twentieth century, the Cineteca Matadero was used as an abattoir and livestock market for around 85 years, but is now renovated to accomodate two cinema screens, a film studio, an archive and a terrace for outdoor screenings.
The illuminated orange structures dominate the three floors of the film archive, which are otherwise dimly lit and lined with dark grey-painted wood.
Woven walls also surround the two auditoriums but are painted black so as not to detract from the screens.
In the studio areas, the existing brick walls of the hundred-year-old building are mostly left exposed, although some are partially covered with wooden panels.
Photography is by Fernando Guerra.
Here's a bit more information from Churtichaga + Quadra-Salcedo:
Cinema Center in Matadero de Legazpi, Madrid
Refurbishment and conversion of an old slaughterhouse into a public cinema center housing a film archive, film and television studio, two cinemas, offices, canteen, and summer film patio.
Memory, memories, even bad memory always twist and fly when we work on architectural past, … yes, make a story, choose the tone, cadence, rhythm, accents, a story that naturally coexist with collective memory of the old slaughterhouse of Madrid, with another early report of new application dedicated to the movies while curled up with the forgetfulness of their own recurrent obsessions…
The magical backlight and contrast of the films, and the childhood fascination of basketry and technical human infinite geometries are the sensory triangle… the rest is to surround in spiral this atmosphere, this feeling, and define it constructively.
The tectonic history of brickland, the powerful rhetoric of the old slaughterhouse is the background, and also figure at the scenes of the story, a story in which a continuous low background, a wooden monomaterial painted in dark gray defines the new program deployed on walls, floors and ceilings, allowing a clear separation between story and History.
Against this dark carpet background, my own memory outputs a floating figures, some huge vibrant baskets that define the main spaces.
The Film Archive Area is covered by a permeable basket, huge, walkable, that filters light and works as a lamp, a huge figure of a modest orange hose knitted infinitely.
The Baskets that define Film rooms are shades of black. In the main room the orange background illuminated make the basket float until the movie begins, the background disappears and only a vibrant black surface stays.
In the small projection room, a basket-banked trough very black on black space fleet almost black wood, only when you open a window dazzles the eye.
Because the eye and limits of perception are ultimately the real protagonists of this history of cinema.
There is a constructive and structural battle, a battle to defend silent and hidden history. And to defend it is to disobey the pathology reports that distrust of the History of the factory building, do not understand that the factories of brick and masonry love to be charged… are happier and more cohesive… and that its logic is always a problem of stability and strength.
Relying on these unrepeatable walls of solid brick and lime mortar, the intervention has solved the great spam required by the program. The horizontal structure has been solved with reinforced concrete slabs, whose two-way working with the existing brick walls make a complete set of vertical load-bearing walls, distributing efforts through the generous cloth walls.
The foundations of these walls was reinforced overloading batteries slightly inclined of micropiles penetrating under the vertical projection of stepped masonry foundations.
Background and Baskets:
Upon resolution of the structure, a continuous carpet of grey painted pine flooring covers walls, floors and ceilings defining the new architecture of space.
Against this dark wood background, the monomaterial woven baskets, frames made of bent steel tubing as the guarantors of geometry, and woven with conventional industrial irrigation hoses.
The spaces defined by the tectonics of the preexisting, the dark background of wood and the protagonists of the baskets figures required a deliberate silence on the introduction of the facilities.
The enormous demand of fresh air that require the Plato and the Cinemas need a huge conducts that gets buried under ground most of these easements. The areas without such large ventilation requirements, such as lobbies, offices and circulation areas are solved with underfloor heating / cooling systems.
The lighting is deliberately disordered avoiding the perverse and sad homogeneity to which we are pushed by our regulations. Clusters of bulbs view dances in the walls… stripes of woven LEDs lighten the baskets and the space underneath.

THE Philippines’ net foreign direct investment (FDI) posted a slight drop of 0.3 percent to $5.724 billion in 2015 from $5.74 year-on-year, due to lower inflows in inter-company borrowings and reinvented earnings, the central bank said Friday.
Last year’s net FDI also fell short of the $6-billion forecast by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) according to preliminary data released by the BSP.
Intercompany borrowings eased 3.9 percent to $3.137 billion from $3.263 billion in 2014, while reinvestment of earnings declined by 14.8 percent to $747 million from $877 million a year earlier.
Partially compensating for the declines registered in the other FDI components, net equity capital infusion during the year rose by 15.1 percent to $1.841 billion from $1.599 million in 2014.
Equity capital placements of $2.668 billion more than offset $827 million withdrawals, the BSP data showed.
Equity capital investments came mostly from the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, and were channeled mainly to manufacturing; financial and insurance; real estate; wholesale and retail trade; and construction activities.
ING Bank senior economist Joey Cuyegkeng said the softer intercompany borrowings and reinvested earnings may have something to do with company restructuring or challenges in their home economies.
“The leadership uncertainty in the Philippines due to the coming presidential elections may have [also]been a factor,” he added.
Nevertheless, Cuyegkeng stressed that the impact of uncertainty could be a minor one, noting that the major economic policies of the current administration including the focus on infrastructure expansion, improving delivery of social services, public-private partnership projects and institutionalized reforms through the passage of laws provide important reasons to keep operations in a growing economy.
Going forward, he said the economy’s fundamentals and prospects remain attractive.
“Liberalizing further certain sectors of the economy and improvement of the absorptive capacity of the economy could usher renewed and strong interest,” he recommended.
Dec FDI down
In December 2015 alone, net FDI retracted by 51.3 percent as inflows in equity capital and reinvested earnings posted declines from a year ago.
BSP data showed FDI net inflows for the month amounted to $273 million, lower from $561 million recorded in December 2014.
The central bank said net equity capital infusion incurred the biggest decline among FDI components, easing 84.1 percent to $77 million from $482 million for the same period in 2014.
“Net equity capital infusion reached $77 million as equity capital placements of $97 million more than offset the $20 million withdrawals,” the central bank explained.
The bulk of equity capital investments in December 2015—coming largely from the Singapore, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and the Netherlands—were channeled to financial and insurance; manufacturing; real estate; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; and administrative and support services activities.
Reinvested earnings in December decreased by 6.5 percent to $56 million from $60 million a year earlier.
Finally, the BSP said the increase in investments in debt instruments to $140 million from $20 million a year ago partially tempered the decline in FDI in December.

For TheDoctor Only, I’m going to have to paste the entire assignment for you to see. I explained what each of these principles are polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. I have to give an example based on the information in my paper as a code for each of the mentioned principles. As usual I need two different examples for each principle. The other paper only explains the three principles so any code example can be given as long as it relates to each principle. Thank you, Ricardo
I have uploaded the document.

With the conclusion of their Wednesday practice session, the Pittsburgh Steelers have released their first injury report of the week. While there appears to be some positive news for the players with more notable injuries, there were a few unexpected names on the report.
Fans should be pleased to see T.J. Watt and Stephon Tuitt listed as limited participants, perhaps the best that could be hoped for given the injuries they are carrying. Both have a way to go before they can be considered healthy enough to play against the Chicago Bears, but any participation at this stage of the week is encouraging.
In total, five players missed training on on Wednesday, with four sitting out due to medical concerns. Ben Roethlisberger appears to have been the recipient of a veteran day off, with Darrius Heyward-Bey and Maurkice Pouncey sitting out because of an illness. After Alejandro Villanueva was left battling an illness last week, it can only be hope there is not some sort of bug going around the team. One to keep an eye on in the coming days.
Marcus Gilbert and Jesse James were the only two names unable to go after picking up injuries against the Minnesota Vikings. Both will need to log some level of practice time this week if they are to suit up on Sunday. Following his medical clearance from concussion protocols, J.J. Wilcox was able to return to training and should be back in action this weekend.
Did not participate: T Marcus Gilbert (Hamstring), WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (Illness), TE Jesse James (Ankle), QB Ben Roethlisberger (Not Injury Related), C Maurkice Pouncey (Illness).
Limited participation: DE Stephon Tuitt (Biceps), LB T.J. Watt (Groin)
Full participation: J.J. Wilcox (Concussion)
Did not practice: TBA
Full participant: TBA

Luxury condos at the Waldorf Astoria hotel are expected to go on sale in the fall, as the historic property’s Chinese owner advances its redevelopment plans despite a market glut and political tensions with the U.S.
Beijing-based Anbang Insurance Group Co. bought the Waldorf for $1.95 billion in 2015, a record price for a U.S. hotel. In 2017, it shut down the property to renovate and convert hundreds of the more than 1,400 guest rooms into private residences.
Chinese officials took control of Anbang in 2018 after saying they suspected illegal activity by the insurer. Now, Anbang has hired Douglas Elliman Real Estate to sell 375 apartments at the Waldorf, according to the firm. The broker said it was working with London-based Knight Frank Residential to help find buyers abroad.
The Waldorf condos will range from studios to five bedrooms. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. will manage the residences and the hotel. The residences are expected to be ready for move-in and the hotel to reopen in 2021.
Douglas Elliman declined to discuss how much they will ask for the apartments. But other brokers suggested the listing prices would likely be on par with the city’s highest-priced condos, around $3,500 a square foot or more.
Douglas Elliman is looking to highlight the rich history of the 88-year old Waldorf. The landmark property occupies a full city block on Park Avenue, and it gained world-wide attention for its luxury suites, lavish parties and famous guests. It has been a New York home to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Frank Sinatra, and the Duke of Windsor after he abdicated his throne to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson.
“It’s a chance to own a piece of New York history and all the stories that go with it,” said Susan de França, chief executive of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. In a statement, Andrew Miller, executive director of development at Anbang, called the Waldorf “one of the most special addresses in the world.”
The move at the Waldorf comes at a challenging time for Manhattan luxury apartments. The number of unsold new Manhattan condos, which have prices typically skewed toward the top 10% of the market, more than doubled to 7,983 in 2018 compared with 2015, according to real-estate appraiser Miller Samuel Inc.
The Waldorf condos will hit the market as the supply of new luxury apartments is expected to be at a peak.
“There is over building, and there is too much supply,” said Donna Olshan, head of Olshan Realty Inc., a New York brokerage firm that tracks luxury real- estate sales.
At the same time, demand for luxury condos has been falling. Wealthy Chinese buyers have pulled back under pressure from the Chinese government to keep capital in the country. Other international buyers have retreated during periods of uncertain politics at home. Owners have had to discount prices to sell their luxury condos.
Recent changes to U.S. tax law have also reduced the incentive for Americans to own property in high-tax states like New York, while stock-market volatility has made many hesitant to spend money on expensive real estate.
Simmering tensions between Beijing and Washington also could complicate sales in a building controlled by the Chinese government, some brokers say. U.S. officials recently have escalated their warnings about Chinese spying intended to steal government secrets and the heist of intellectual property from corporations and academia.
“There’s uncertainty how this is going to shake out,” said appraiser Jonathan Miller of the tensions between the U.S. and China. “So it makes it a challenging environment until that is stable, because the one thing all purchasers don’t like is uncertainty.”
Ms. de França said the Waldorf condos would appeal to buyers because of the hotel’s glamorous past and because the property would provide residents with access to hotel amenities such as room service, its spa and venues for dining and entertaining.
“It’s uniqueness puts us in a class of our own and the wide array of unit sizes and types opens up the universe of buyers,” she said. “Some properties only appeal to the $30 million buyers.”

What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think about making something out of paper—Origami? Paper airplanes? Papier-mache? For most of us, those were activities we did in Kindergarten or in an after-school crafts program. But creating things from paper is definitely not just for kids. This week, the Parents@Play team had a chance to try out two books that made us look at paper—and what you can make out of it—in a whole new way. We produced some very cool projects. Better yet, we discovered an amazing new way for kids and parents to spend some fun, creative, entertaining—and electronics-free—time together. And we’re confident you’ll be able to do the same with your family.
Paper Made! 101 Exceptional Projects to Make Out of Everyday Paper, by Kayte Terry (Workman Publishing)
Warning: if you read this book, you may never throw away another newspaper, magazine, empty cardboard box, bag, piece of torn wrapping paper, napkin, or candy wrapper as long as you live.
Let’s get this out of the way right now: Kayte Terry is a genius. The things she creates from stuff that otherwise would have ended up in landfill or a recycling bin, are absolutely amazing. And if you’re willing to put in the time, you’ll learn how to make equally amazing things by folding, cutting, gluing, painting, molding, weaving, twisting, braiding, shredding, crumpling, and even sewing ordinary pieces of paper and cardboard.
Projects include a fruit bowl from braided newspaper, a place mat from woven strips of lottery tickets, a book bag made out of an actual book, a lampshade made from decks of cards, jewelry, picture frames, tables, photo albums, and a lot more. Any or all of these can be done by one person alone. But they’re a lot more fun to do with someone else—or a group of someone elses.
The New World Champion Paper Airplane Book, by John M. Collins (Ten Speed Press)
Unless you’re an aeronautical engineer, forget everything you ever learned about making and flying paper airplanes and let John Collins show you the way. As the proud owner of the Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by a paper airplane (226 feet, 10 inches), Collins really knows what he’s talking about.
He starts the book with a kind of flight-school, explaining the physics behind flight, how different shapes and types of wings affect lift, what rudders and flaps do, and even how to throw for the best effect. He then gets into folding 101, starting with the most basic folds and working up to complex ones that may take quite a few attempts to master. You could skip all this and dive right into the airplane making, but your aircraft won’t be nearly as good.
Once you’re ready, you’ll find step-by-step, illustrated instructions for how to build the most amazing paper airplanes ever. We’re not talking about basic airplanes that you make in less than a minute and toss across the room. The planes you’ll learn about in this book might take half an hour or more of very detailed work to make. But instead of having a craft that stays airborne for a few seconds and then crashes, you may be able to build one that will float around for minutes at a time (at least that’s what Collins says. Some of his “follow foils” stayed up for that long. The longest we could manage was about 30 seconds).
All in all, a perfect activity for very patient parent-child teams ages 10 and up.

Following the birth of your child, the second most important moment of your child’s life will be his/her Baptism. God who has already given the gift of life now offers a second gift: a share in his divine life. This is a great and everlasting gift and parents must be very well prepared for this gift and its responsibilities.
In common with other parishes, we take very seriously this period of preparation, so the following guidelines are to help parents in this preparation.
First, let Father Peter know that you are requesting Baptism for your child. This must be in person when you attend one of our Sunday Masses
- he’ll take details of your child's name, date of birth and your name and address.
There are three Masses for you to choose from each weekend. These are: at St John Fisher (Sat 6.00pm & Sun 9.30am)
and at St Mary’s (Sun 11.00am). Please note that Baptism requests are not accepted on the phone, so always come in person.
2. MASS ATTENDANCE.
You will be best able to show the reality of the Roman Catholic faith you are to pass on to your child by attendance at parish Sunday mass.
Mass is at the very heart of our faith, which every single Catholic is called to celebrate every week in obedience to the command of Jesus himself:
“Do this in memory of me…” It is essential that parents are regular in their attendance in mass, at the very least in the period prior to Baptism.
Normally this extends over a period of at least 6 to 8 weeks. This period will be longer when neither parent is a Roman Catholic.
Father Peter will keep a weekly note of your attendance at Mass.
3. PREPARATION MEETING.
After a number of weeks at Sunday Mass, Father Peter will invite you to attend a Preparation Meeting for parents preparing for Baptism.
This involves a single session of about 60-75 minutes for parents, organised in groups of four or five sets of parents.
At this meeting, provided that practice at mass has been consistent, dates will be booked for the Baptism Day.
Baptisms will take place on most Sundays of the year, usually at 1.00pm, sometimes 2.00pm.
For parents who are already regular in practice at Sunday mass, the invitation to the Preparation Meeting and fixing a date will be as soon as possible.
We celebrate some 50 to 60 Baptisms each year, with individual ceremonies. Without exception, these are joyous occasions. A selection of commemorative photos are included below...

From American Athletic Communications
WASHINGTON, D.C. - American University Director of Athletics Dr. Billy Walker has announced the hiring of Megan Gebbia as American's new women's basketball head coach.
"I am tremendously excited to announce Megan Gebbia as American University's Head Women's Basketball Coach," said Walker. "Megan clearly shares our department's philosophy regarding the value of intercollegiate athletics as a complement to the University's academic mission. She also clearly expressed her belief in the critical role athletics can play in the overall educational process and character development of our student-athletes."
Gebbia will lead the Eagles after spending the last 10 seasons at Marist College, serving as the Associate Head Coach for the past seven seasons. She has aided in the development of 36 student-athletes who have earned accolades in their career from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association, including 10 All-MAAC honorees and five major award winners.
"I am extremely excited about getting my first head coaching position at American University," said Gebbia. "I am grateful to our President, Dr. Kerwin, and our athletics director, Dr. Billy Walker, for this opportunity to be a part of an outstanding university that attracts quality student-athletes. This is an exciting time to be a part of the AU community and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead."
Gebbia has been a part of eight straight and nine overall MAAC Championship teams. In 2006-07, Marist upset Ohio State and Middle Tennessee State on its way to the school's first-ever Sweet Sixteen appearance. The team became just the third No. 13 seed in NCAA history to make it to the round of 16.
"Coach Gebbia's record both on and off the court is nothing short of breathtaking," Walker added. "In ten years at Marist College, she helped lead her team to ten consecutive 20-win seasons including the program's first two 30-win seasons. She has been to the NCAA tournament nine times, winning five tournament games in the last seven years--including a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. Her overall record while at Marist is 264-64...an unbelievable 200 games over .500. I couldn't be happier to welcome Megan to the American Eagles family!"
Prior to joining Marist, Gebbia served as an assistant at Wright State for the 2002-03 season and was in the same role at UMBC from 1996-2002. While at UMBC, she was responsible for signing two Street and Smith All-American honorable mentions, a conference Rookie of the Year and two All-Conference selections. She also served as an assistant at American under Jeff Thatcher for the 1995-96 season, in which the Eagles went 16-12.
Gebbia began her coaching career at her alma mater, Towson, and served as team captain of the Tigers' squad during her senior season. She is a native of Frederick, Md.

On 5th June, We crowned Global Esports as the winners of the Skyesports Champions Series. We had a fantastic opportunity to speak with Mohit Israney, MD & Founder of Global Esports, during the event. Mohit expressed his gratitude to the fans and was thrilled about the growing Valorant Scene.
As we all know, Global Esports has been a significant organization for the longest time and has been one of the first organization from India to have a Valorant lineup and has been unchanged since 2020.
The team has been a representative of South Asia three times now, representing India at LCQ APAC, Stage 1 VCT APAC challengers, and now Stage 2 VCT APAC Challengers. Talking about it, Mohit mentions the main reason the team does well is their tenacity and will to win and how they stick together despite the setbacks.
Mohit also commented on how the Global Esports boys are always able to reset themselves whenever it seems that they are losing the momentum or have lost a game, and they always fight till the end. And whenever it seems that their era is coming to an end, they come back saying, “GE FIGHTING.”
Eraser joined the team as a head coach in April, but he was part of the organization for a long time. Along with Eraser, Taeri was the reason behind Global’s success in Fortnite. With Malav Popat, they would be working in Valorant and helping the team win.
As all know, Mohit Israney directed the South Asia Arise and shared how the players wore their acting suits, going as far as considering method acting for some scenes so that they do justice to the role they have taken up. He thanked the players and the staff for one of the most amazing experiences.
India has been growing in content creation, with multiple esports organizations dabbling in content creation. Mohit, coming from a content creation background, says that content would bring exposure to esports, and we should try getting as much content as possible out so that people know about esports and the Indian Gaming Community as soon as possible.
Lastly, Mohit, thanked all the fans for their support. And they would do everything for the community, and eventually, with the help of fans, they would reach new heights.

About this product
- DescriptionThis book explores the role played by the Female Section of the Spanish Fascist Party (Seccion Femenina de la Falange -- SF) in promoting women's political and professional rights within the authoritarian Franco regime in Spain. While ackwledging the organisational and financial ties, as well as the great ideological affinity between the SF and the regime, Inbal Ofer demonstrates how the SF's national leadership promoted an automous social and political agenda. Despite the need to constantly maeuvre between the cultural and legal dictates of Francoist society, the unique activities and personal experiences of SF members at the heart of political power became a model for an array of policies and reforms that greatly improved the lives of Spanish women. From a unique gender perspective the topic of the Seccion Femenina de la Falange contributes to the debate on the nature of authoritarian regimes by reflecting on issues of policy formation and implementation; mass mobilisation; and the role of coercion alongside the creation of a culture of consent . In exchange for a long-term commitment to the survival of the regime, both the Catholic Church and the Spanish Falange gained considerable administrative power and a measure of freedom to act on political and social matters. As explained, the promotion of women's legal and political equality (reflected in the struggle to amend the Civil Code and ratify the Law for Political and Professional Rights) is a good example of the way organs within the regime made use of their position in order to legitimise n-consensual forms of activism. The SF efforts to increase the number of gainfully employed women and improve their working-conditions is an example of the unexpected uses made by agents of the regime of the freedom of action accorded them in the public arena. Inbal Ofer raises questions regarding the nature of women's political activism and capacity for automous action within authoritarian regimes, setting out the debate on the nature of feminism and its relation to female activism and the promotion of women as a collective. More specifically she engages with those works that critically evaluate women's public contribution within Catholic and / or nationalist settings, and is required reading for interested in the history of modern Europe.
- Author BiographyInbal Ofer is Assistant Professor of Modern European History, the Open University of Israel, specialising in 20th century Spain and gender and women's history within Right Wing movements and authoritarian regimes. She has published articles relating to the history of women under the Franco regime in several leading journals in the US, UK and Spain. Her work on the Women Section of the Spanish Fascist Party received the II Premio Internacional Jose Antonio Maravall de Historia Politica, from Departamento de Historia del Pensamiento y de los Movimientos Sociales y Politicos, Universidad Complutense, Spain.

The Cricket World Cup brings together the best teams from around the world. It’s not just a display of outstanding talent, but also a testament to the game’s rich history and evolving nature.
1975, The Foundations
The Cricket World Cup: a grand stage where cricketing legends are made. Commencing in 1975, England hosted this spectacular affair, drawing eight teams into the maiden tournament. This version was played with 60 overs a side, emphasizing stamina as much as finesse. White uniforms, reminiscent of Test cricket, added a touch of elegance, with West Indies, led by the unforgettable Clive Lloyd, signaled their future supremacy by clinching the title, defeating Australia in the finals.
1980s, The Shifting Balance
While the Windies continued to reign, the 1983 World Cup witnessed a change of guard. India, considered underdogs, toppled the giants, announcing their ascent on the global stage. The finals in 1987 saw another shift: from England to co-hosting by India and Pakistan. Along with this geographical move, the match format was changed to 50 overs. Australia marked the beginning of its cricketing dominance in the format by taking home the trophy.
1990s, The Rise of New Champions
The Nineties expanded the game’s horizons with more teams and diverse hosting countries. Pakistan’s resilience shone in 1992, winning the cup and adding a fresh chapter to the cricketing annals. Sri Lanka’s 1996 triumph served as a beacon for nations vying for global cricketing recognition, while Australia’s 1999 victory was a sign of the domination to come in the next decade.
2000s, The Era of the ‘Invincibles’
With the new millennium, Australia showcased unparalleled dominance, clinching World Cup victories in 2003 and 2007. Beyond mere victories, it was their manner of conquest that astounded onlookers. Players like Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden demonstrated cricketing excellence, while captain Ricky Ponting epitomized leadership.
2010s, Revival and Emotions
The 2011 tournament, co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, saw India etch a momentous achievement by lifting the World Cup, at last. The stage then shifted to the Southern Hemisphere in 2015, where Australia, relentless in their pursuit, clinched their fifth title, underlining their cricketing genius. In 2019, however, there was an emotional rollercoaster like no other. Hosted by England and Wales, the final match was an unprecedented spectacle. Ties in both the main game and the Super Over led to a boundary count rule, crowning England as the winners. This win, debated for weeks and months that followed, underscored not just a new dawn in cricket excellence, by the English, but the ongoing statistical intricacies that have made cricket such a unique sport.
