With May being #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth there is a lot of information and true stories surrounding the topic of skin cancer, but most of the conversation is centred around caucasians. What is not commonly talked about or even believed is that people with skin of color can be affected too. Everyone is susceptible to getting skin cancer.
Most skin cancers are associated with ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun or tanning beds, and many people of color are less susceptible to UV damage thanks to the greater amounts of melanin (the protective pigment that gives skin and eyes their color) darker skin produces. But people of color can still develop skin cancer from UV damage.
Additionally, certain skin cancers are caused by factors other than UV — such as genetics or other environmental influences — and may occur on parts of the body rarely exposed to the sun. For example, darker-skinned people are more susceptible to acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), an especially virulent form of melanoma (the deadliest type of skin cancer) that typically appears on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Who can forgot the legendary Bob Marley? He infact died at the age of 36 as a result of a skin cancer when a malignant melanoma was found under the nail of his toe, which when ignored spread throughout his body. And Theresa Merritt. She was an American actress who appeared in the film ‘Billy Madison’ who also died from skin cancer. And let’s not forget the President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, who died from various forms of cancer, including skin cancer.
People with skin of color are at risk of developing skin cancer. What is shocking to discover is that the mortality rates from skin cancer of people with skin of color are actually higher! Typically this is because people with skin of color often assume they are not at risk, and their cancers tend to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage and patients often face a bleaker outcome. The five-year survival rate for African Americans is 73 percent, compared with 91 percent for Caucasians, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
The team at EXTRASHADE are passionate about healthy skin, and this month we want to help create awareness of the affects and causes of skin cancer for people with skin of color. If you have ever been affected by skin cancer please get in touch by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org to share your story. Help spread the message of #HealthySkinisHappiness.

In a surprising development, the Iranian judicial authorities last week permitted a well-known Islamic cleric from the United States to visit with Amir Hekmati, a Marine veteran who is the longest-held American prisoner in Iran.
The granting of such a visit suggested that Mr. Hekmati, 32, might be near an end to his incarceration, which began more than four years ago when he was visiting his Iranian grandmother for the first time and was seized by security agents who accused him of espionage.
Ordinarily, Iran permits only immediate relatives to visit prisoners.
The cleric, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi, the spiritual leader of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights, Mich., knows Mr. Hekmati’s family in Flint. He said in a telephone interview on Wednesday that he had been able to arrange the visit while attending a religious conference in Iran.
Not knowing whether the visit would be permitted, he did not tell Mr. Hekmati’s relatives in the United States in advance, he said, to avoid disappointing them if his request was rejected.
“I was very fortunate,” the imam said, explaining that partly through luck and happenstance, he had spoken with judiciary officials who were able to arrange a meeting with Mr. Hekmati in Evin Prison in Tehran on Aug. 25.
“He had been told, ‘Someone was going to visit you,’ but he didn’t know who,” the imam said. “It was supposed to be for a half-hour. We spoke for 55 minutes, just him and I in one room.”
Just before he entered the prison visiting area, the imam telephoned Mr. Hekmati’s parents, awakening his mother, Baz. “She was speechless, she didn’t know what to say, except to just kiss him and hug him,” the imam said.
A Hekmati family representative confirmed the meeting.
The imam did not go into detail about the conversation but described Mr. Hekmati as resilient and energized. “The talks got emotional — it’s very natural to tear up, but then he was strong enough to overcome his emotion and keep talking about positive things,” the imam said.
Imam Elahi said he returned to Michigan a few days later and felt “more optimistic than ever about his case.”
Mr. Hekmati’s family has been increasingly outspoken in its calls for Iran to release him. The family also has publicized Mr. Hekmati’s accounts of torture, mistreatment and poor conditions in the Iranian penal system, including vermin-infested cells.
His original espionage conviction and death sentence were reduced to charges of helping a hostile country, which carried a punishment of 10 years in prison.
Mr. Hekmati has denied all wrongdoing and described himself as a political prisoner and a victim of the animosity between Iran and the United States.
His congressman, Representative Dan Kildee, a Democrat, was the lead sponsor of a resolution in Congress calling on Iran to free Mr. Hekmati and two other Americans held in Iran, and to provide information about a fourth who has been missing for eight years. The resolution passed unanimously.
Expectations have been building since the international agreement on Iran’s nuclear activities was reached in July that Mr. Hekmati and the other American prisoners would be released.
Iranian officials have hinted at the possibility of a prisoner exchange. Last week the Foreign Ministry said the United States was unfairly holding 19 Iranian citizens on accusations of having violated American economic sanctions.
American officials have not commented on the Foreign Ministry’s assertion but have said that there have been no discussions on a prisoner exchange.
Besides Mr. Hekmati, Iran is holding Jason Rezaian, 39, the Washington Post’s Tehran correspondent, who is from Marin, Calif.; and Saeed Abedini, 35, a Christian pastor from Boise, Idaho.
Mr. Rezaian has spent more than 13 months in prison on charges that include espionage and hostile acts, which he and the newspaper have called baseless. A verdict in his case, which carries a punishment of as much as 20 years in prison, has been expected for the past few weeks.
Mr. Abedini was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2013 on charges of subverting national security by holding Bible classes in private homes. He has also said that he is innocent.
A fourth American, Robert A. Levinson, 67, a retired F.B.I. agent from Southern Florida, has been missing in Iran since 2007.

Rondo rampages early as Celtics top Milano 105-75
October 9, 2012, 12:00 am TWN
MILAN -- Rajon Rondo scored all 17 of his points in the first quarter and added six assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 105-75 win over Emporio Armani Milano on Sunday, two days after the NBA team opened its preseason European tour with a loss in Turkey.
Jeff Green also had 17 points off the bench for Boston.
Green missed all of last season after a physical exam revealed an aortic aneurysm. He underwent surgery and became a free agent before re-signing with the Celtics in August.
On Friday in Istanbul, Fenerbahce Ulker beat the Celtics 97-91.
The Celtics return to Boston on Monday and resume practice on Thursday before playing their first U.S. preseason game against the New York Knicks in Hartford, Connecticut, next weekend.

Warner Bros. has dropped the first trailer for the highly-anticipated second Space Jam film, Space Jam: A New Legacy.
The film stars LeBron James with Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza. Malcolm D. Lee directed the film from a script by Juel Taylor, Tony Rettenmaier, Keenan Coogler and Terence Nance. Ryan Coogler is among the film’s producers.
The official description: This transformational journey is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids. When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way.
LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Duncan Henderson also produce and the film’s executive producers are Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Allison Abbate, Jesse Ehrman, Jamal Henderson, Spencer Beighley, Justin Lin, Terence Nance and Ivan Reitman.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the IBR has added a new research project. The Iowa Department of Corrections (IDOC) has recognized that justice-involved clients in many of their rural counties are not receiving recommended dosages of services. Several factors play a role, including limited or lack of services in many rural areas, and transportation issues getting to services which may be a county or two away.
IDOC has provided funds to design a mobile app to reinforce as well as extend engagement in interventions such as cognitive behavioral approaches, substance abuse recovery tools, trauma, mental health supports, life skills, parenting, and assistance tools that will help reach justice involved clientele where they are and when they need it most in order to assist them in monitoring and managing their own behavior.
The app will be designed to captivate the user, be fun and exciting, and encourage continuous use in an activity that they might not be motivated to participate in otherwise.
Essentially, the product will provide individualized effective interventions in a gamification format to encourage engagement and self-management; ultimately leading to successful behavior change and improved outcomes.A key element of designing an app that will be accepted and utilized by users and will ultimately be sustainable is to involve stakeholder groups in its development.
Thus, a critical initial phase of the project is to facilitate stakeholder input regarding the mobile application design, the included elements, look and feel of the app, and assure that it meets user needs. Interviews will be held with a cross-section of stakeholders including probation/parole officers, management, staff, and probation/parole clients. This input will be used to develop prototype designs for an app which will be presented to stakeholders for further input before making final revisions.

The Angelbaby has been taking trumpet lessons from a wonderful teacher. He is a grad student at the University and his teaching style is so great. He has moved her along quite smoothly so that now when she picks up the trumpet she actually makes notes every time she blows into it.
She just loves her teacher. She is so proud of herself when she can copy his sound. His praise is immediate, which helps her grow in confidence and strength as she tackles each new challenge he puts before her.
Watching them in her lesson today it struck me that there is something very spiritual about the care he takes in his teaching. It is easy to see that not only does he feel called to music, but he loves performing and teaching. He is passing on his love for what he does to the Angelbaby.
I asked the Angelbaby today if she still liked playing the trumpet, and practicing every day. "Duh mom." she replied "You said I had to take it for a whole year. It hasn't even been a year yet and I know I love it." She wants to take it into school so that she can show her class what she has learned already. Won't that be fun for the other second graders? Maybe I should talk to her teacher first!

Baltimore Police Officer Edward Nero chose not take the stand as testimony in his trial concluded Wednesday, and Circuit Judge Barry Williams said he planned to deliver a verdict on Monday.
Prosecutors and Nero's attorneys are scheduled to make final arguments on Thursday.
Nero is charged in the arrest of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old Baltimore man who died last year after suffering a severe spinal cord injury in police custody.
Nero's defense team called its final two witnesses Wednesday: a Baltimore Police Department commander to testify about police procedures, and an officer who trained with Nero and was present during Gray's arrest.
Nero was one of three bicycle officers who pursued Gray through the Gilmor Homes public housing project in West Baltimore on April 12, 2015.
Prosecutors are alleging that Gray's arrest was an assault because it did not meet the standards of a legal detention. Legal analysts have called it an unusual theory.
Nero is also accused of endangering Gray by failing to secure him in the back of a police van with a seat belt.
The 30-year-old officer has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office.
The defense has sought to minimize Nero's role in the arrest, but has also argued that the officer was acting according to how he was trained and that any deviations he made were reasonable.
Officer Garrett Miller, who also faces charges in Gray's arrest, was ordered to testify last week under immunity. Called as a prosecution witness, he said he alone caught, handcuffed and moved Gray.
Prosecutors say Miller and Nero described the arrest in their initial statements to investigators last April as a collective action.
"Their plan was to … arrest him, and then decide whether to un-arrest him," Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow said in his opening statement.
Much of the trial has revolved around the complexities of the so-called Terry stop, in which officers may detain someone briefly if they have reasonable suspicion that the person has been involved in a crime, and the steps officers must take to justify such a detention.
Legal analysts say mistakes or violations in such stops can bring administrative sanctions for officers or suppression of evidence, but have never before brought criminal charges.
"The simple detaining of somebody, seconds longer than hindsight would suggest is reasonable, is totally unreasonable to prosecute," said Warren Alperstein, a Baltimore defense attorney who has been observing the proceedings.
But University of Maryland law professor Douglas Colbert sees an argument for the charges.
If a detention is unjustified, he said, "it makes sense to me that criminal charges would follow.
"It's just a practice that hasn't happened."
During more than four days of testimony, there was no mention of the knife Gray was charged with carrying.
When Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby charged Nero, Miller and four other officers last year, prosecutors said the knife was legal, making Gray's arrest unlawful.
Defense attorneys said the knife was illegal under city code. Prosecutors changed their argument, saying Gray was wrongfully detained before the knife was found.
At one point during the trial, Nero's defense attorney Marc Zayon asked Miller if he found anything while searching Gray, and the judge cut off the question. A lengthy bench conference followed.
The version of Nero's statement to investigators that was admitted into evidence appeared to have references to the knife removed.
University of Baltimore law professor David Jaros said he was surprised that the knife was not mentioned. He said the weapon was "critically important" to understanding the scope of how officers went about the arrest.
Colbert said the lack of discussion leaves unanswered the question of why Gray was arrested.
The prosecution did not call Officer William Porter to testify. Nero's trial was scheduled to occur earlier in the year, but was delayed after prosecutors said they wanted to compel Porter — whose trial in Gray's arrest and death ended in a mistrial — to testify in the case.
Williams denied their request, saying it appeared to be "subterfuge" to achieve a delay. The prosecutors' appeal reached the state's highest court, which affirmed in March that Porter could be called.
But Porter wasn't called, and Zayon asked Williams on Wednesday to dismiss the indictment, alleging prosecutorial misconduct.
Schatzow rejected the claim, saying rulings by Williams changed the case prosecutors intended to present and removed the need to call Porter. Williams agreed and denied the request.
Earlier in the proceedings, the defense called Capt. Justin Reynolds, a former director of training for the Baltimore Police Department, to testify as an expert on police procedures.
Police Department rules since 1999 have called on officers to secure arrestees with seat belts. Days before Gray's arrest, the department mandated it.
But Reynolds testified that there was "no possible way" to put a seat belt on a detainee in the back of a police van without compromising an officer's safety. He said the vans have "spaghetti-like" straps that require two hands to fasten, which leaves the officer unable to keep the arrestee at bay.
Deputy Chief State's Attorney Janice Bledsoe asked Reynolds if he had ever seen anybody secured by a seat belt in a van. He said he had.
"So you know it's possible to seat-belt someone in a wagon?" she asked. "It's fair to say if a prisoner is being cooperative, and is seated on a bench, the expectation … is that the person should be seat-belted?"
"Yes ma'am," Reynolds said.
Bledsoe asked if it was appropriate to take an arrestee to the ground if he is being cooperative and there's no reason to believe he is armed.
"Under those circumstances, no," he said.
The defense called Officer Zachary Novak, who was present after Gray was arrested and called a medic when Gray was found unresponsive at the Western District station. Novak was given immunity from prosecution, but has been called by the defense in the trials of both Nero and Porter.
Novak attended the police training academy at the same time as Nero, and said officers were taught about when and how they could pursue and detain suspects.
Breaking News Alerts
Novak said the officers were taught by then-Assistant State's Attorney Michelle Martin that they could handcuff a suspect if they believed he might be armed or a flight risk, and that officers could hold that person for a "reasonable" amount of time.
Schatzow asked if officers have to attempt to confirm or dispel the reasons they believed the person should be detained. Novak agreed.
The defense had planned to call Joshua Rosenblatt, the former prosecutor who led the criminal strategies unit that Bledsoe oversees. He resigned last year after eight months with the state's attorney's office, and joined the Police Department.
Rosenblatt sent an email to police commanders three weeks before Gray's arrest, saying Mosby wanted stepped-up drug enforcement in the Gilmor Homes area.
Nero's attorneys said the message bolstered their contention that the officers were allowed to chase and detain Gray when he ran unprovoked. The Supreme Court has allowed such stops in high-crime areas.
Rosenblatt was not called as a witness, and instead the prosecution and defense agreed to a stipulation that the area around Gilmor Homes is a high-crime area.

Islamic Clothing and Hijab Styles Take on a More Modern Flair
The style of Islamic clothing, although based on privacy and diffidence with loose fitting garments designed to honor the religion by covering the female body in a modest manner, can still result in very attractive attire. Bold colors and bright designs in addition to comfortable nevertheless fashionable fabrics serve as a great means of updated style for the traditional, yet modern woman of the Islamic faith.
Made widely available for purchase on the World Wide Web and for Islamic women of the western culture especially, there is an abundant selection of beautifully made Abayas, Hijabs, Jilbabs, additional accessories as well as hand-crafted jewelry for all age ranges and occasions. Prices vary dependant on individual items and retailers, but for the most part, beautiful, high-quality clothing and accompanying garnishments are all very reasonably priced.
Although still accessible in dark hues of brown, black and navy, over garments or Abayas, are now widely available in beautiful jewels tones that include shades of blue, green, maroon, lilac and more. The modern Abayas are actually quite fashionable embellished with sequins and beads in sparkly starburst, floral and geometric patterns on the sleeves, necklines, hems and bodice. These garments are also sold in styles that incorporate hand-sewn, embroidered flowers and stars patterns. The ornamental creations are intricately created with striking results that may be particularly more appealing to the younger generation of Islamic women but up through the elder age groups as well.
Stylish Jilbabs are designed with an updated, modern flair in mind. These garments are also widely accessible and have taken on a new appeal, especially to the western Islamic female. Designed in traditional cotton, polyester and linen as well as wonderful georgette fabrics, present-day Jilbabs are elegant and eye-catching.
Delicately crafted in lycra, cotton and linen Hijabs are available in a wide variety of colors and designs as well. One and two-piece Hijabs are accessible for comfort and convenience of wear. Two piece Hijabs incorporate an underlining that prevents slippage with an additional section of fabric to cover the head and shoulders. In an assortment of shades that still include the more traditional black and brown, they also run the gamut in pretty pinks, lavenders, oranges, greens and earth tones. Flowing floral prints and shimmery metallic fabrics are also now being used to create these respectful, religious Islamic female head coverings.
Shawl-style Hijabs are available as one, rectangular or oblong piece of fabric and also come in a beautiful assortment of colors and patterns. Available in free size (one-size-fits all), these one-piece versions of the Hijab are stylish and chic as well as easy and comfortable to wear. And although most shawl-style Hijabs do not come with an under scarf, they are designed for both every day and special occasion wear, perfect for both the modern-day Islamic women and younger girl alike.

Though Tuesday will be several weeks removed from July 31’s election day, it will be a day heavy on politics, as two Paulding County Chamber of Commerce events will feature several candidates for local and state offices.
The first is the Cobb EMC Power Breakfast, which will run from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at Bentwater Golf Club, 100 Golf Links Drive, Acworth. Slated to speak at the event are all the candidates for Paulding County School Board.
“It’s just a chance for the candidates to tell [attendees] a little bit about what they’d like to see. It’s no formal debate and there are no set questions,” said Kevin Kirby, director of Member Services for the Paulding Chamber of Commerce.
Only one school board seat up for grabs is being contested in this election cycle—that race will see Justin Rowland seeking to unseat At Large Board Member Joe Watson. District 1’s Theresa Lyons is unopposed, as is District 3’s Kim Cobb after . District 4 will see Richard Manous take office after incumbent Michael Skelton chose not to qualify.
All candidates in the school board races qualified as Republicans; no Democrats nor independents sought the offices, which means the sole contested race between Rowland and Watson will be decided on July 31.
Interested residents will be able to hear from more candidates at the at 7 p.m. as the venue plays host to the Chamber’s 2012 Candidates Forum.
The event will focus on two county races and four state races.
At the local level, attendees will hear from candidates for the Paulding County Board of Commissioners’ chairmanship and the board’s Post 1 seat. State offices featured will be House Districts 19, 66 and 67, as well as Senate District 31.
As of Monday afternoon, two of the four individuals seeking the county offices had made commitments to attend, Kirby said. In the two county races, Commission Chairman David Austin faces a challenge from Tony Crowe, while David Carmichael and Heidi Leggett will vie for the commission’s Post 1 seat .
Kirby said that all three candidates for House District 19 have confirmed their attendance at the event. In the District 19 race, incumbent Paulette Rakestraw Braddock of Powder Springs is being opposed by Michael Ray James of Acworth and Melissa Morrison of Dallas in the GOP primary. The victor will have no Democratic opposition in November.
All three Republican candidates vying for the new District 66 seat are set to attend—Michael “Mike” Miller, Bob Snelling and Mickey Thompson, all of Douglasville. Kirby said Kimberly Alexander of Dallas will be unable to attend as she will be away on business; she is the sole Democratic candidate seeking the House seat.
Kirby said neither candidate for the District 67 seat had confirmed as of Monday afternoon. In that race, incumbent Bill Hembree of Winston is unopposed for the July primary, but will meet Democrat Leigh McMutry, also from Winston, in November.
And all three candidates for Senate District 31 have confirmed their attendance. The three Republican candidates—incumbent Bill Heath of Bremen and challengers Bill Carruth and J.K. Rogers, both of Dallas—debated earlier this month; Dallas-Hiram Patch brought you live coverage from that event.
The forum will be moderated by Terry Lawler, executive director of the Regional Business Coalition.
The doors to the Dallas Theater will open at 6:30 p.m., and candidates will have tables in the lobby that attendees will be able to check out, Kirby said.
Kirby added that the event will be filmed so it can be shown on Paulding County Today on Comcast Channel 23.
Dallas-Hiram Patch aims to bring you live coverage of Tuesday night’s forum, as well as video from the event.

The effect of residual water on antacid properties of sucralfate gel dried by microwaves
- American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists
- Publication Type:
- Journal article
- Losi, E et al. 2006, 'The effect of residual water on antacid properties of sucralfate gel dried by microwaves', AAPS PharmSciTech, vol. 7, no. 1, pp. E58-E63.
- Issue Date:
The aim of this work was to study the acid neutralization characteristics of microwave-dried sucralfate gel in relation to the water content and physical structure of the substance. Several dried sucralfate gels were compared with humid sucralfate gel and sucralfate nongel powder in terms of neutralization rate and buffering capacity. Humid sucralfate gel and microwave-dried gel exhibited antacid effectiveness. In particular, the neutralization rate of dried gel powders was inversely related to the water content: as the water content of dried powders decreased, the acid reaction rate linearly increased. The relationship was due to the different morphology of dried sucralfate gels. In fact, the porosity of the dried samples increased with the water reduction. However, the acid neutralization equivalent revealed that the dried sucralfate gel became more resistant to acid attack in the case of water content below 42%. Then, the microwave drying procedure had the opposite effect on the reactivity of the aluminum hydroxide component of dried sucralfate gel powders, since the rate of the reaction increased whereas the buffering capacity decreased as the amount of water was reduced.

Ubisoft: Nintendo Switch will expand the possibilities of fun
Ubisoft has always been very much excited about Nintendo Switch and recently Alain Corre (head of publishing for Europe) has returned to speak about the console on the pages of the Japanese magazine Famitsu, spending much positive words for the new platform of the house of Kyoto.
As stated by Corre in the interview (translated by Nintendo Everything), “We have big expectations for the innovative Nintendo Switch. Our Just Dance franchise, for example, is one that people enjoy with families. With the Nintendo Switch in hand, children, their parents, or even their grandparents, would be able to dance out in the backyard on holidays.”
“Doesn’t that sound exciting (laughs)? The hardware really helps expand the possibilities of fun, people of all ages will be able to play games anywhere. We hope to have a wide variety of software available, but we’re unable to go into details just yet. Sorry (laughs).”
According to the statement it seems that Ubisoft is preparing a thick lineup for switch, but they are currently not disclosing any further details.
However, according to some recent rumor, the French company is developing a crossover between Super Mario and the Rabbids as well as they are talking about Beyond Good & Evil 2 as an exclusive for Switch, This, as usual, is a completely unconfirmed rumor and as such should be taken with care.

Q: When is the game?
A: Saturday, September 1, 2012
Q: What time is the game?
A: 2:30 PM
Q: Is there an official NIU tailgate party?
A: The official pregame tailgate for NIU alumni, friends, and Huskie fans will be held on the Soldier Field Stadium Green, southeast side of the stadium, starting at 11:00 AM, and will feature live entertainment, stadium concessions, and plenty of Huskie spirit. The NIU academic colleges will be represented, along with NIU Alumni Association affinity groups and DeKalb/Sycamore businesses.
Q: Will there be a bus package?
A: The HASF will offer bus transportation from DeKalb to Soldier Field and back on the day of the game. More information will be available in August.
Q: How much are tickets?
A: The cost of a ticket varies based on where you want to sit.
|Area (see map)
Q: How many tickets can I purchase?
A: There is no limit on the number of tickets a person can purchase. However, there is a limit on how many seats will be allocated during the FIRST round. All orders received by May 1, 2012 will be included in the FIRST round. Season ticket holders and donors are eligible for the same number of Soldier Field tickets as they have season tickets, or four, whichever is greater. If they order more than they are eligible for, the remaining seats will be allocated during the SECOND round. Therefore all the seats will not be together. Fans will have the opportunity to decline getting better seats during the FIRST round and having all of their seats together and allocated during the SECOND round.
- Example 1: Harry Huskie has six season tickets but orders 10 tickets for Soldier Field. Six of the tickets will be allocated during the FIRST round. The remaining four will be allocated during the SECOND round.
- Example 2: Henry Huskie is a donor to the HASF but does not have season tickets. Henry is eligible to buy four tickets to Soldier Field that will be allocated based on loyalty points during the FIRST round.
- Example 3: Harvey Huskie has two season tickets but orders 20 tickets for Soldier Field. Four of the tickets will be allocated during the FIRST round. The remaining 16 will be allocated during the SECOND round.
- Example 4: Helen Huskie has four season tickets but orders 12 tickets for Soldier Field. She checks the box on her renewal form stating that she wants all of her seats to be together. Therefore all 12 tickets will be seated together during the SECOND round.
Q: When will I receive the tickets?
A: All tickets ordered through the NIU ticket office have already been mailed. If you have not received your tickets, please call the ticket office immediately at 815-752-6800.
Q: Where will my seats be?
A: Seat locations will be determined based on the HASF Loyalty Point System. Orders received by May 1, 2012 will be allocated during the FIRST round of allocations. If you do not have any loyalty points, after all HASF donors' orders are filled, season ticket holders' (who are not donors) seat locations will be determined by DATE order. Therefore, if you are not a donor to the HASF, the earlier you order, the better seats you will receive. Please also read "How many tickets can I purchase?" for a full explanation and examples of how the allocation of seats will work.
Q: Where can I park?
A: NIU season ticket holders and HASF donors have the opportunity to pre-purchase a $49 parking pass. NIU fans who pre-purchase a parking pass will receive a pass for the Waldron Deck. Soldier Field controls the parking for this event but is allowing NIU fans to purchase passes ahead of time so that all NIU fans will be able to park together. There is no limit to the number of passes you can order. Parking passes will be mailed with your tickets.
Q: When do I need to order by?
A: The deadline for priority ordering is May 1, 2012. All orders received by this date will be allocated in the best seats. Tickets will go on-sale to the public on May 7, 2011.
Q: How many tickets are Iowa fans getting?
A: As the visiting team, Iowa will receive 20,000 tickets to sell to their fans. If Iowa sells out of their allotment, they will direct their fans to TicketMaster beginning May 7, 2012. They will not receive more tickets to sell.
Q: When do the tickets go on sale to the public?

I have to “rough cut” the curved pieces of the chair now and, to come back to the jig-saw question, you can’t use a jigsaw to cut a curve in 90mm beech. Admittedly it’s not very easy with a bowsaw but it is possible. What if you halved the piece of 90mm wood, cut it with a jigsaw, and glued it back together again? – Yes, you could do that; but there isn’t a jigsaw in Mr Wake’s box, nor is there a power point in the shed. End of discussion.
The other alternative, if you remain uninspired by the film of me bowsawing for ages, is of course a bandsaw.
However, don’t buy a bandsaw without giving it a trial run and putting it through its paces – a cheap bandsaw may be no more able to cut 90mm beech than a jigsaw.
A final word on this issue; I am cutting beech in this project – beech is used for making plane bodies, so it’s not soft, it is very dense. These chairs were normally made of Scots pine (we usually call this redwood now) and it is a lot softer. The kits that I supply for making these chairs are also redwood and, like the antique ones, they should easily last a couple of hundred years – in fact they should be just coming into their prime in 2200.
When I selected slabs for the back legs I had it in mind that I could perhaps get two legs out of one piece. There is a good reason for this – I could economise on the sawing; if one leg can “nest” in the other one. In fact, I could save myself a lot of sawing. In the past at Lethenty Mill we have made sets of similar chairs in the workshop and have been able to cut up to six or seven legs from one slab, saving time and materials.
Using the bowsaw I have to be very careful to cut square (at right angles to the surface). You may also feel that a little care with adverbs wouldn’t go amiss, but “squarely” is just wrong. It sounds wrong and I don’t care what the spell checker says…
Funny, it ignored it!
There are some straight sections in these legs and I cut these with the rip saw as it was easier.
I haven’t gone on about the spokeshave yet but now is a good time to hold it up to scrutiny. Curves are not easy – straight edges are a lot easier and there are lot of tools in Mr Wake’s toolchest for cutting, truing and dressing straight edges – and most of these are pretty useless on curves.
There are not many tools for curve cutting in the toolchest and they are mainly spokeshaves – two of which are handmade – and he may have made them himself. There is a small wooden compass plane, not in bad condition so maybe not used a lot. I only used it for making templates from thin material (by the way it is a good idea to make wooden templates from the paper ones that I include in the Lethenty Mill project manuals, the wooden versions are far easier to use).
The workhorse is the spokeshave, and the more I get to know it, the more impressive this ancient implement is. Wikipedia says that prehistoric spokeshaves were made of stone, so they go back into prehistory. It also says that we can only surmise that they were used for shaping spokes (why?) and arrows and paddles (and probably any curved surface). In fact if potatoes had been discovered…. I suppose the potato peeler is a spokeshave in a way and if you hold onto that thought for a moment, it helps you to see how the spokeshave is used – like a potato peeler.
Anyway, it occurred to me that the lack of curve cutting tools in the average toolbox is not just because of the difficulty of designing them and man’s predilection for straight lines (and the obvious connection), but also an indication of how good the humble spokeshave is for shaping all sorts of curves – not just spokes. I have seen coopering tools and some of them are obviously members of the same family… I won’t go on.
When I speak about the bowsaw, I always mention the spokeshave and show people how to use it, because when you see how useful they are, curve cutting can be less of a chore. In this case, where the work is heavy and demanding, you can cut straight lines with the rip saw leaving slow curves on, and finish them down to the line with the spokeshave later on when the wood has dried a bit more.
So, I brought the spokeshave into the picture at this point not because I used it for roughing out the curves but because I would use it in the final stages of dressing the components, and I know I can rely on it to give good results.
Roughing out is about leaving on just enough material outside the line to give room for shrinkage, dimensional changes and what I call “creative latitude” – you can call that mistakes if you like!

Heritage campaigners in Montenegro have accused developers of turning an historic island fortress, where prisoners were once starved and tortured, into a “haven for the rich” as its conversion into a five-star resort gets underway.
The island of Lastavica, on which the 19th century Mamula fortress is built, occupies an idyllic position off the coast of the tiny Balkan country, which is undergoing a tourism boom as investors move in on its beaches and bays.
But the island has a dark, haunted past – during the Second World War it was used by the occupying Italians as a place to incarcerate around 2,000 political prisoners.
Many were tortured and an estimated 130 were killed or starved to death...

Olmstead Decision Leads Iowa Counties To Close Institutions
By Dave Reynolds, Inclusion Daily Express
February 6, 2006
MUSCATINE, IOWA--Over the past several months, residents of Prairie Park Residential Care Facility have been moving into their apartments, homes or group homes across Muscatine County.
Five years ago, Prairie Park housed 52 residents with "mental-health related disabilities", according to the Muscatine Journal. As of last Monday, there were just 20 residents at the facility.
The last resident is scheduled to leave before March 31, when Prairie Park is expected to close its doors.
Neighboring Cedar County will close its residential facility on June 1, while Louisa County expects to close its facility sometime within the next few years.
"A lot of counties have been looking at their large residential care facilities and choosing to close them in favor of community-based settings for their residents," said Kathie Anderson-Noel, case management coordinator for Muscatine County Community Services.
One reason for the changes is that it saves money, the Journal noted, because the larger facilities are no longer being supported with federal funds since the U.S. Supreme Court's 1999 Olmstead decision. The court ruled in Olmstead that unnecessarily institutionalizing people with disabilities violates their rights under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act.
Another reason, according to county administrative assistant Nancy Schreiber, is that closing Prairie Park is a matter of "freedom of choice" for those residents.

SCHINNEN, Netherlands - Seventy years ago, the people of Schinnen built a chapel dedicated to peace on top of a rugged hill in this Dutch town.
A second World War threatened and amid uncertain times great effort was undertaken by the citizens of Schinnen to muster resources, prepare the site on a hard-to-reach hill with thick trees and bushes and consecrate their new Chapel of Our Lady June 16, 1939.
Less than a year later, May 10, 1940, the Netherlands was invaded and World War II was underway.
Today, the Municipality of Schinnen and the Chapel is in a different world. Their neighboring town, Brunssum, is host to Joint Forces Command - a NATO organization that supports the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. NATO, comprised of 28 independent nations and 22 partner nations, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
Schinnen's closest neighbor, however, is the U.S. Army, and this year is the 40th anniversary of an American presence there.
In 1967, after France withdrew from the military structure of NATO, the Army moved from Fontainebleau, France, to the towns of Brunssum, Landgraaf, Treebeek and Heerlen in the Netherlands. In 1969, the Army formally established its presence on the Emma Mine Complex's Shaft IV in Schinnen.
It is an annual tradition for citizens in Schinnen to walk in a procession from the town's main church to the Chapel of Our Lady, and this year's procession was special for several reasons. The Chapel was rededicated Sept. 19, 2009 to mark its 70th Anniversary, which coincided with the 450th Anniversary of the Bishopric and the 65th Anniversary of the Town's Liberation by U.S. forces in 1944. These anniversaries combine to make a perfect opportunity to celebrate for an entire weekend.
September 18 - A good place to start
H.J. Hermans, a senior physician living in Schinnen wrote in his diary Sept. 18, 1944, "We saw the American infantry walking through the streets; these soldiers seem very relaxed, some of them even took some time to come into our living room to smoke a cigarette with us. They were simple, nice, cheerful guys. Upon leaving they greeted us with their index finger and middle finger raised: the V-sign for vrijheid (freedom)."
Hermans' diary entry that day ends, "At 6 p.m. the brass band, which has dug up the brass (instruments) they put in hiding, go to the Chapel of Our Lady and then walks round the village."
"Since that day (Sept. 18), the Town of Schinnen and the Chapel of Our Lady has known peace, a very special thing for this part of Europe," said Wilfried Dabekaussen, the public affairs director for the Municipality of Schinnen in an interview Sept 10, 2009.
USAG Schinnen and the Municipality of Schinnen held a joint reception at the Schinnen Town Hall Sept. 18, 2009 where dignitaries and invited guests of the Town of Schinnen, the local Church and U.S. Army Garrison Schinnen came together for an evening of camaraderie, reflection and celebration.
"The Chapel of Our Lady is a special place," Dabekaussen said.
"People from the entire municipality go there to simply be there. It's a beautiful place where one can bring their mind to focus on essential things. There is also a feeling that even though we have enjoyed 65 years of peace, we, knowing that the Dutch Army has also sacrificed Soldiers in NATO operations, that there still is not enough peace in this world," said Dabekaussen.
Coming out of the past
By Sept. 19, 1944, as revealed in Hermans' diary, all the villages that comprise today's Municipality of Schinnen - Sweikhuizen, Amstenrade, Doenrade, Puth, Oirsbeek and Schinnen, were greeting U.S. Soldiers from the 30th "Old Hickory" Division as they made their way towards the German border. The northern part of the Netherlands would suffer a terrible, deadly famine through the winter until "Victory in Europe" was proclaimed in May 1945, but peace was no longer distant for Schinnen. Peace had arrived and it was liberated exclusively by U.S. forces in September 1944.
Hermans wrote in his diary Sept. 19, 1944: "Together with Jan, Hub and Henri, I go pick up my car that I put in hiding. For one month it stood underneath a large heap of straw in a barn at Castle Terborgh. In the courtyard I get red American fuel from the resistance. The battery is flat. The car is pulled by a horse and after a few moments later we can start the car for a short drive through the village - now decorated with orange sashes."
Later, during the height of the Cold War in the 1970s and 1980s, the Army base in Schinnen assisted with the NATO Alliances "Return of Forces to Germany", or "REFORGER" exercise, which took place every two years from 1969 to 1993 to show Russia that the NATO Allies were determined to keep Western Europe free. During the Gulf War in 1992, the logistics of bringing forces into Europe was reversed as U.S. forces deployed from Europe through ports in the Netherlands to Southwest Asia for Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
Through these times, friendship festivals on U.S. military bases were common. And then the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, forced community relations events to adopt tighter security measures. USAG Schinnen's celebration Sept. 19, 2009 was in many respects a "coming out" event because it was the first in over seven years to include the general public. Two-thirds of USAG Schinnen's work force is Dutch, and they felt a little nostalgic and were happy to see the base reinvigorating its links to the community.
"We started planning our 40th Celebration over a year ago, and force protection concerns led us to ask every civilian who wanted to visit the base on Sept. 19 to register in advance," said Rita Hoefnagels, community relations specialist for USAG Schinnen.
"At first there was a concern that this requirement would dampen the party. We started publicity for our celebration in August and over 200 responded in two weeks. By the Sept. 14 deadline we had over 900. Considering that we already expected 1000 or more U.S. and NATO personnel to join us, that adds up to quite a few for our small base, said Hoefnagels.
USAG Schinnen put on a big show. Four bands provided musical entertainment from 2 to 10 p.m. Army Entertainment and Armed Forces Entertainment provided musical talent. There was an America Gospel Concert and the evening's feature band was the group "Ember". In between, Task Force X, a band comprised of Soldiers from NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) and the Royal Dutch Army Brass band of the National Reserves entertained the crowds.
World War II re-enactors from Belgium and Heerlen displayed vintage vehicles and equipment. There was also a Civil War re-enactor group representing a company of Union Soldiers comprised of Dutch settlers from Michigan. In all, the base featured over 30 rides, bands, vendors, re-enactors, booths and other demonstrations.
A flurry of activity
"The Town of Schinnen's youth group joined in the by hosting several music concerts off the base and held a walk around the town Sept 19 to historical landmarks in Schinnen. The walk ended at the front gate of the base where they were guided to one of the special displays we made - a gallery of our coal mining past," Hoefnagels said.
"We contacted the National Mining Museum in Heerlen, collected old photographs of the base, and then transformed the headquarters foyer. We wore uniforms from post World War II, uniforms typical of 1969, and displayed photos and artifacts to depict the transformation of the mining facility into the Army base that it is today," said Kathy Foley, Workforce Development Coordinator for USAG Schinnen.
Many locals still refer to the site of USAG Schinnen as Shaft IV. Construction of Shaft IV took place 1946 to 1956. Coal production stopped in 1965 when natural gas was discovered in other parts of the Netherlands. The Emma mine employed 10,000 workers, 6,000 of whom worked underground. More than 45,000 workers and families were affected by the closure of the mine.
Where the Schinnen Post Exchange is today, miners once changed shifts 230 at a time three times a day and were lowered into the shaft. From there they would travel underground to mine coal or deliver filler stones to replace what had been taken. Shaft IV was also designed to provide ventilation to the Emma Mine complex that extended over an area of 17,168 acres including Hoensbroek to Hoensbroek Castle to the south, then westwards to the villages Nuth and Schinnen, and northeastward to the villages Puth and Oirsbeek.
"The entire town of Puth, near Schinnen, is held up today by a pedestal of filler stones and there are seven such pillars under the ground in this region," Hoefnagels said.
Market Garden Committee brings special guests
In the late afternoon, some very special guests arrived. World War II Veterans from the 501st, 502d, 504th and 506th Parachute Infantry Regiments, who participated in Operation Market Garden and battled onward until the end of the World War II, dropped in celebrate. The group included Albert Mampre, who was assigned to E Company of the 506th PIR along with the 82d Airborne's most decorated officer, retired Lt. Col. "Maggie" Megellas.
Also participating: spouses, members of the Market Garden Committee and students from the College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, Mo. The students, also supported by the Greatest Generation Foundation, accompanied the Veterans as they participated in Operation Market Garden Commemoration and other ceremonies across the Benelux region. The group of 50 enjoyed the hospitality of the USAG Schinnen Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment Family Readiness Group.
U.S. Army Capt. Shannon W. Shackelford said, "We work hard to bring together family members. We were looking forward to having a booth at our 40th celebration, but to have these heroes as our guest was very special an honor. Having them here connects their sacrifices to our role of defending freedom today."
Going out with a bang
From Hermans' diary Sept. 20, 1944: "Together with Jan, Cecile, Margot and Henri, I went to the field at Hommerterweg. There we could watch the small American reconnaissance planes in action. They can take off and land on a tiny bit of land, as tiny as 'a handkerchief'! The people from Schinnen have already given a nickname to these 6 planes: 'de dreuvige' (the sad ones), because of the moaning noise they make... upon returning home I hear that Sittard has been liberated and that Mayor Kruyen will soon return to Schinnen."
Mayor Barry Link opened a day of celebrations for the Municipality of Schinnen's in the center of town Sept. 20, 2009. Each of the six towns in the municipality provided brass bands and entertainers who performed from 3 to 10 p.m. In the mix of all the music, SHAPE's Task Force X band treated local citizens to a show that was contemporary, a bit American, but more significantly a multi-national mix of NATO allied musicians - something tough to envision in 1944.
A path for the future
"It was about ten years ago, in my opinion, that the finger pointing or the feeling that we have to hold blame for the war began to diminish, Dabekaussen said.
"Everyone may have an opinion, but Western Europe is at peace. The old aggressors are part of the same alliance, and this is good, said Dabekaussen.
There were three Axis Powers opposing the Allies in World War II. Today, Japan cooperates with NATO, but is not a NATO member. Italy joined NATO in 1949 with the other founding nations: United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
West Germany joined NATO in May 1955. When the Berlin wall fell in November 1989, today's Federal Republic of Germany was born. Coincidently, 1989 was the same year that Schinnen restored the Chapel of Our Lady - fifty years after it was built and dedicated to peace.
USAG Schinnen's diary for Sept. 2009 is this remarkable alignment of so many anniversaries: 450 years for the Bishopric, 70 years for the Chapel of Our Lady, 65 years for the Town of Schinnen's liberation, 60 years for NATO, and 40 years for the U.S. Army's presence in the Netherlands.
It's hard to predict where we will be in 40 years, 60, 65, 70 or even 450 years. The Chapel of Our Lady was dedicated to peace and we should be more than hopeful that peace endures. As former Army Chief of Staff Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan likes to say, "Hope is not a method," and celebrations like the one held in Schinnen Sept. 18 to 20 are not universal.
You're highly encouraged to visit the Chapel of Our Lady in Schinnen, but be warned. It is at the end of a rugged uphill path - much like the path to peace.

Many of us will spend Thanksgiving sharing a wonderful home cooked meal with family and friends. But for a growing number of people, that simple pleasure remains far out of reach. Over the past few years, the economy has led to a sizeable increase in the number of Americans facing “food insecurity.” Now Sandy has made matters worse.
Fortunately, many people have responded to the recent disaster by generously donating time, money and household goods to local organizations as well as those serving the hardest hit areas at the Jersey Shore and in New York. Schools, organizations and individuals also have been helping by donating items to food banks, many of which lost supplies during the power outage and need to re-stock their shelves.
If you would like to volunteer to serve a meal on Thanksgiving (or next month, on Christmas) or donate food items, which will continue to be in need in the weeks ahead, take a look at these food pantry listings, both local and at the shore.

TOPSHAM — School Administrative District 75 reduced its proposed budget for next year by about $400,000, and may present a $38.1 million spending plan to voters next month.
Health insurance had been projected to increase about $183,000, but will actually decrease by about $66,000, resulting in a net reduction of about $250,000, according to the district. A 25 percent budgeted increase in workers compensation has also been whittled to 8.7 percent, saving SAD 75 $80,000.
The budget, to be voted on May 7 by the School Board, reflects an increase of 5.2 percent over current spending. Total taxes among SAD 75’s four towns would rise $1.8 million, or 8.3 percent.
The hike would mean a $149 annual school tax increase on a typical $182,500 home, according to the district. Harpswell would see a $131 increase on a $425,000 home, while Bowdoin and Bowdoinham would experience respective hikes of $192 and $165 on a $178,000 home.
Requested budget additions of $1.3 million include $144,000 for four special educational technicians, $139,000 for food service, and $200,000 in architect fees as SAD 75 studies whether to renovate or replace Mt. Ararat High School.
If a high school project referendum passes, the architect’s fees would be reimbursed by the state, Superintendent Brad Smith has said.
While the number of special education students has dropped, those youths’ needs are becoming more complex, he also noted. Out-of-district placements have increased, also raising costs – from about $42,000 in 2010 to $318,000 this year.
Charter school funding is another major budget factor.
Under state law, students who live in SAD 75 towns and attend charter schools are reported to be attending SAD 75 schools, so the district receives subsidies for those students, according to Smith. The district in turn pays a quarterly amount to the various charter schools; that amount is about $801,000 this year, for 74 students.
The district is planning for a $401,000 increase next year, or a total of $1.2 million to cover another 35 students.
Another significant spending hike is a rise in what the state requires school districts to raise in order to be eligible for subsidy. That rate increase, from $8.10 per $1,000 of property valuation, to $8.48, adds almost $482,000 to what SAD 75 must raise.
While the fiscal 2014 budget used $928,000 from the fund balance, this year’s spending plan uses none, and neither would next year’s.
While the fund balance had been used as a revenue source for at least six years to preserve positions and programs and keep the local contribution level down, it also reduced the balance too much, the superintendent has said.
The budget goes to a district budget meeting May 21, and a budget validation referendum June 9.

Tax Law Update | November.17.2017
On November 2, 2017, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) introduced a tax bill entitled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and later proposed amendments to the bill on November 3, November 6, and November 9, 2017. The House passed the amended version of the bill on November 16, 2017. On November 9, 2017, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) released a Senate version of the bill, and later proposed amendments to the bill on November 14, 2017. On November 16, 2017, the Senate Finance Committee approved the bill after making some last minute changes in a manager’s amendment. The Senate is expected to take action on its version of the bill sometime after the Thanksgiving break. If the bill is passed by the Senate, the conference committee will attempt to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the bill. If the bill were to become law, there would be certain fundamental changes to the taxation of financing transactions.
Please feel free to contact a member of the Orrick Tax practice group above for further up-to-date details as these developments continue to unfold.

HDM Blog colleagues Gary Baldwin and Vince Ciotti recently penned tongue-in-cheek predictions for 2011. So yeah, I'll jump on the bandwagon and take a more serious look at how Republican control of the U.S. House may affect health I.T. issues.
Full disclosure: I am a Democrat, raised by a very liberal mother and a conservative father who lost faith in the GOP when it nominated Goldwater for President and then tolerated Nixon's cover-ups. I easily could be a moderate Republican but that species is gone, as the party now somehow believes that ideological purity is healthy for a democracy. Off the soapbox and onto predictions:

Last month we posted an article about Israel’s increasing rejection of democracy as a preferred form of government. On the question of equal rights for Arab citizens, about half of those surveyed opposed such equality.
A new poll of Israeli high-school students reveals that nearly half of them also do not believe that Arabs citizens are entitled to the same rights as Jews in Israel. That view was held by 82 percent of religious students, and 39 percent of secular students.
Some 91 percent of secular high school students said they want to enlist in the IDF, versus 77 percent of religious students. Eighty-one percent of the religious students said they would refuse orders to evacuate outposts and settlements in the West Bank, versus 36 percent of secular students. Nearly a third of the students said they would refuse military service beyond the Green Line!
“This poll shows findings which place a huge warning signal in light of the strengthening trends of extremist views among the youth,” said an Education Ministry official.
The survey, which also revealed that a relatively high number of youth plan on voting and that democracy is still the preferred system of government, indicates “a gap between the consensus on formal democracy and the principles of essential democracy, which forbid the denial of rights to the Arab population,” the official said.
“The differences in positions between secular and religious youth, which are only growing sharper from a demographic standpoint, need to be of concern to all of us because this will be the face of the state in another 20-30 years,” said [Professor] Bar-Tal. “There is a combination of fundamentalism, nationalism, and racism in the worldview of religious youth.”

Bishop of Chichester to lead pilgrimage to the Middle East
The new Bishop of Chichester will be leading a pilgrimage to the Middle East in November 2014.
The pilgrimage is taking place from 20 to 28 November to raise awareness of peacemaking efforts in the region.
Dr Martin Warner became Bishop of Chichester last year and is an experienced leader of Holy Land pilgrimages.
The pilgrimage will take in the Galilee, Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Pilgrims will visit the main holy sites and spend time in prayer and reflection.
"The pilgrimage is open to all and I really hope that people from different parishes will join us," said Dr Warner.
"This gives us, as a diocese, the chance to explore the life of Jesus where it happened to meet contemporary Christians in the Holy Land.
"The situation between Israel and the Palestinians dominates the news headlines but you really have to be there to experience the uniqueness of this land."

You might be interested in knowing that if you are dealing with a disability, you really have the law on your side. There is something that is known as disability law which is actually governed by the Americans with disabilities act. It is important for you to make sure that any benefit you are receiving as a result of your disability are in line with whatever this particular law states. There may also be other benefits which are available to you on a statewide level instead of dealing with the federal law. They all, however, must agree with the Americans with disabilities act.
If you find that you are in a situation where you need to use the disability laws, there are a number of different things that you should keep in mind. For the most part, this particular law was governed by federal statute but there may also be some other things that are available for you on a state-by-state basis. The best thing that you can do is to talk to a lawyer about your situation in order to see if there is anything that can be done to benefit you in addition to the norm. A local attorney will be well-versed in not only the federal law, but any local and state laws that apply to your problem.
Also, the laws are different depending on whether or not you were born with a disability, were recently diagnosed with a debilitating disease, or have become disabled due to injury, illness, or accident. Without consulting a legal expert, it is almost impossible to navigate the labyrinth of legalities when it comes to these laws. In order to receive the full benefits due to you, hire an attorney that specializes in these types of cases.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
St. Louis based Virtual Media Group, a national video production company, announced its move to The Lindbergh Building at 7321 South Lindbergh Blvd. Kevin Wallis, a partner at Virtual Media Group says "The new office gives us the ability to better serve our current clients today and room to grow down the road."
Virtual Media Group currently has customers in 24 states, and each has a different goal and a different message to tell clients. VMG takes the time to understand each customer individually. Careful collaboration is a cornerstone value at Virtual Media Group. The new viewing room enhances the company’s ability to cut to the core of its customers’ goals and create videos that are engaging to their particular niche.
VMG’s video presentations can be used on websites, in e-mails, at trade shows, during sales appointments , for product or software demos, and training. In addition, the editing team’s knowledge of social media allows clients to easily send their videos to customers around the world. By increasing the VMG staff with hand-picked video editors, the company will improve its already impressive wealth of knowledge.
The company understands that in video presentations, every second counts. Video designers meticulously edit every aspect of the video to ensure that the audience is engaged, informed and impressed. With new clips going viral daily, a one-time investment in a quality video can pay off substantially in the future. With VMG, businesses can generate more leads, increase sales and stand out from the competition.
There are a number of statistics that point to the benefits of incorporating a quality video into a marketing strategy. According to Forrester, a renowned research and advisory firm, websites that have a video are 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of Google. Products that advertise with one are 95 percent more likely to be purchased. People are six times more likely to understand, remember and share a message if it is explained with a motion graphic presentation. This not only helps a product go viral, but it will help employees and business associates understand and remember the main points of a presentation. The benefits of a quality video have been proven time and time again, and the level of collaboration that customers receive with VMG puts them in an ideal position to see these benefits quickly and in a meaningful, lucrative way.

Even the simplest auto accidents would involve more than just a dispute between you and another driver. We know that because our office handles cases that go well beyond the norm:
Regardless of the details, you have to investigate the accident, negotiate with insurance, analyze case law — and that’s just the beginning. If your case goes to court, you need an experienced car accident trial lawyer who will stand by your side until you get a fair deal.
The problem with pedestrian accident cases is balancing the rules of the road with the rules of common sense. People outside cars are much more vulnerable than those in them. Illinois courts routinely decide in favor of pedestrians injured by vehicles, even if people were walking outside of crosswalks, off of sidewalks, and so on. Claim Your JusticeTM by letting our Illinois personal injury attorneys analyze your case and tell your story.
In Schaumburg and throughout the Chicago area, bicycles are gaining popularity as commuter vehicles, recreational gear, and fitness equipment. Unfortunately, infrastructure isn’t quite up to the demand yet.
Governments are painting bike lanes onto narrow streets, motorists aren’t taking the risk of injuries seriously, and some drivers seem to actively resent the presence of cyclists on the road. Call our Illinois personal injury attorneys today if you have any bike injury, but especially one of the following:
Motorcycles are certainly more dangerous to operate than passenger vehicles, but they are far from the death traps that popular media sets them out to be. The real damage typically only comes when one or more parties to the accident were negligent.
If you are a trained biker with a well-maintained vehicle, your risk should not be too high. If you’re using protective gear on well-maintained roads in favorable conditions while keeping aware of your surroundings, the risk is even lower.
There’s usually an obvious reason for motorcycle accident injuries such as burns, broken bones, road rash, or even death. It’s often someone in a large vehicle who speeds, drives distractedly, crowds, tailgates, or change lanes without checking blind spots.
This is the type of negligence our Illinois personal injury attorneys look for when building a case. More often than not, the evidence shows that the motorcyclist does not bear significant responsibility for the injury.
Like it or not, some people see the open water of Lake Michigan and get the idea that it’s a free-for-all. There are rules of boating just like there are rules on the road.
A serious crash on a boat could be just as dangerous as the same type of crash on land. If the other boater (or the negligent operator of a boat in which you were a passenger) was drinking, operating the vehicle recklessly, speeding, or ignoring weather conditions, you could have a very strong personal injury claim.
Tour operators on the Chicago River and Navy Pier also have obligations to uphold. Our Schaumburg Illinois personal injury attorneys are experienced in this area. Call us to Claim Your Justice™.
Almost every type of medical treatment involves some kind of risk. To offset that risk, doctors receive intense training and hospitals must comply with strict organizational and ethical requirements. If someone didn’t live up to the high standards of the medical profession, you could have a malpractice case. Common examples include:
Slip and fall accidents are when you receive an injury on somebody else’s property. That “somebody else” can be an individual property owner, a company, or even the government.
Especially if you have a claim against the government, it is important to act quickly and strategically in these types of cases. It seems like you have plenty of time when you look at the law, but the fact is that you might find yourself with less evidence as time goes on. Right now is the best time to Claim Your Justice™ by calling our experienced Illinois personal injury attorneys.
If you want to sell to Americans, you have to make sure your product is up to the standards of the marketplace. If you release something dangerous, even if you only partially contribute to the danger, you could be held liable.
Faulty or defective medical equipment, vehicles, pharmaceuticals, food, supplement, toys tools, electronics: These do not belong in this country. If you were injured by any type of product, or if a defective feature made your injuries worse, you might be able to hold the following people liable for your injuries:
It seems unthinkable, but some people actively set out to abuse elders financially, emotionally, physically, and even sexually. They insinuate themselves into positions of authority specifically for this purpose.
Nursing home operators and owners know about the risk of elder abuse and neglect. They should have robust systems in place to screen employees and prevent this type of predatory behavior. When they fail to do this, they could be liable for the injuries your loved ones incur while in long-term senior assisted living facilities.
As our population ages, nursing home abuse will continue to be a threat. Our dedicated Illinois personal injury attorneys have the skill and experience to help you Claim Your Justice™.
Most of the types of injury claims cited above operate on a theory of negligence. In other words, the plaintiff must prove that
In short, to Claim Your Justice™, our Illinois personal injury attorneys have to prove that someone should have done (or not done) something and that their irresponsible decisions led directly to your injury.
Depending on the specific type of accident or injury, you might need to provide additional evidence that the defendant was negligent. Sometimes, the duty is clear.
In traffic accident cases, a motorist owes a reasonable duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians simply by getting behind the wheel. In medical malpractice, a healthcare provider owes a duty of care as soon as the doctor-patient relationship begins.
However, for a slip and fall accident, the plaintiff may need to provide additional information about why and when she was on the property in order to prove that the defendant owed a duty of care. A Schaumburg Illinois personal injury lawyer can help.
The statute of limitations (735 ILCS 5/) is the law that provides rules about when you can file a personal injury claim. Filing a claim begins the legal process. For most non-lawyers, “statute of limitations” is synonymous with “deadline”.
Injury lawsuits in Illinois usually have a limit of two years from the date of the injury. In a bicycle accident or pedestrian accident, for example, you must file a claim within two years from the date the accident happened.
Some cases have longer time limits. A medical negligence injury might allow you longer than two years. A case of an injured child might. Still, it is almost always best to contact an attorney and begin the planning process as soon as you discover the injury.
Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule (735 ILCS 5/2-1116). The most important part of this is that if you are partially at fault for your injuries, you might be able to recover some damages. Everyone pays in proportion to their responsibility.
Here’s an example of how Illinois comparative fault law works. Imagine you began a car accident and a court decided you were 49 percent at fault. You could potentially recover damages, but only up to the remaining 51 percent.
However, once someone proves you’re 51 percent or more at fault, she is barred from recovery. In short, you can’t be the one who contributed the most to the injury in your lawsuit. If the other parties were more to blame than you, it’s time to Claim Your Justice™.
Were you injured in an accident? Our Schaumburg personal injury lawyers can help with your case. An advocate at our firm can discuss how it’s time to Claim Your Justice™.

SAUCERS IN THE SKY
|Listen :||Saucers in the Sky|
|Listen :||Go Go Girlie|
|Listen :||Winds of March|
|Listen :||Get on My Honda, Rhonda|
also available via iTunes
Rodney Keith Eskelin, aka Rodd Keith, aka Rod Rogers, would’ve certainly found the recognition during his lifetime that his talent demanded, if he hadn’t chosen to work in the lowest depths of the music industry: the “send us your lyrics” field, known today as the song-poem genre. Saucers In The Sky gathers together twenty-six previously uncollected Rodd Keith gems from the hundreds upon hundreds of songs that he recorded before he leapt from a highway overpass in 1974.
It would be inaccurate to call this a collection of forgotten pop classics. “Forgotten” implies that they were known in the first place. Outside of the aspiring lyricists who bankrolled the proceedings, plus a few of their friends and relations, none of Rodd Keith’s records registered the slightest blip on the musical radar of their time.
The irony runs deep: the song-poem business was a stylus’ breadth away from being an outright scam, capitalizing on the dreams of would-be songwriters and filling their heads with visions of breakout hits and fame and fortune. In reality, if the lyrics themselves weren’t unwieldy or strange enough to hobble any chances of entering the charts with a bullet, the assembly line production style of the recording insured that the majority of the songs were musically undistinguished. The best of Rodd Keith’s work, however, easily transcends its lowly, no-hope origins, and therein lies the kicker: if the pressing runs for songs like “Magic In Her Eyes” or “Go Go Girlie” had broken the triple digit mark, or found their first point of sale in a Sam Goody rather than a thrift shop, they could’ve undoubtedly attained some measure of the popular success that their hapless creators were led to believe would follow. And while such tunes as “Ravens” or “Sawdust” were too lyrically bent for Billboard glory, they remain prime examples of Rodd’s brilliance as a singer, composer and arranger.
Saucers In The Sky also includes two never-before-released tracks: a cover of “Here Comes The Judge” from a soul-soundalike session, and “Get On My Honda, Rhonda,” written as a birthday gift for Rodd’s best friend’s son. Packaged in a mini-LP gatefold sleeve, with liner notes from Del Casher, inventor of the wah-wah pedal and guitarist on many of Rodd’s early recordings, and Stacey Keith, Rodd’s daughter.
“He was a ’60s Bob Pollard…beyond the weird lyrics, many of the songs on Saucers In The Sky are just wonderful pop songs, with great melodies and strange, unexpected chord progressions…whereas most song-poems sound like the rush jobs they usually were, Keith’s are surprisingly detailed, with weird production ideas, verses and choruses that actually make sense together, and good performances…a virtuosic songwriter.” – Charlie Wilmoth, Dusted
“Mort dans un accident son personnage flotte comme le fantôme d’un être dont l’inaccomplissement est à la mesure des dons qui lui étaient échus. Cette édition, sorte d’«œuvres complètes» dérisoires vise évidement à donner une place aimante à la mémoire de cet errant sans poids.” – Noël Tachet, Improjazz
“Highly recommended” – Jennifer Hor, The Sound Projector

If you ignore the mountain of garbage science and science fiction within Jurassic Park, you can still take away a simple idea: that the tiniest DNA contains the instructions to build massive creatures. Maybe not dinosaurs per se (DNA breaks down pretty hard after a few thousand years), but certainly whales, emus, and you and me.
It doesn’t matter how many itty bitty little pieces you break us into, we are still ourselves, and the DNA ensures that when you cut your finger, a toe doesn’t grow in its stead.
The same can be said for your organisation’s DNA. If you are all about innovation, if your people live to think outside the box and try new things, if they are happiest when they are surrounded by the most cutting-edge tech or ideas, if they stay late not to make a bonus but because they sense that they are on the cusp of a breakthrough, that drive to innovate is something that saturates everyone in the company.

Established in 1963, Samarth is an innovative Life Sciences company that researches, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of life saving critical care drugs. With the vision of emerging as a ‘Premier Health Care company’, it stands by the value of providing the medical fraternity with products of highest standards. Achieving this level of excellence is owing to the team’s ability to listen to the stakeholders and understand their unmet, critical and advanced needs in focused therapeutic segments and orphan drugs. While keeping quality at forefront, Samarth stands out as a unique healthcare company since they believe in the welfare of patients by offering quality medicines that can be afforded by one and all.
This journey for Samarth has been very satisfying in their endeavour of ‘adding life to life’ and extending their portfolio from niche, unique, and exclusive offerings to a complete portfolio in focused specialties. Over the years, they have evolved with an increasingly focused approach in defined therapeutic areas. Samarth currently operates in the Therapeutic Areas of (i) Critical Care, (ii) Anaesthesia, (iii) Gastroenterology, (iv) Oncology, (v) Ophthalmology, (vi) Urology, (vii) IVF and Gynaecology, and (viii) Animal Healthcare.

In corporate hospitals, the working approach is devised through key account business addressing the hospital at multiple levels like Doctor, Administration, Purchase Manager and the Board of the hospitals. The team working in that segment is specialized in working at multiple touchpoints and engaging stakeholders through activities like Continuous Medical Education, Round Table Meetings, and paramedical staff training.
In the therapy focused business, they are engaging the KOLs for therapy-based solutions and also building a sustainable relationship with Doctors by 1:1 personal visit. To add to this, Samarth believes in creating moments of truth with RTM’s, Medical education programs, participation in symposium & seminars. The marketing & sales team plays a critical role in understanding the patient’s unmet needs and thereby generating a seamless process of feedback, which becomes the foundation for developing communication and building the brand plan & strategies. In veterinary field, some of these are associated with hands-on demonstration, which is critical for establishing the brand at the stakeholder level.
To this organization, it’s DNA is the quality of products & services they offer. To further this pursuit, the team conducts timely post-marketing studies to gauge the effectiveness, side effects and clinical performance of the medicines. The journey of transforming from ‘products’ to a ‘brand’ has been exciting owing to the relentless efforts put by the team. Peers in this industry have acknowledged the efforts undertaken in building a promising brand. Caprin, Lobet & Adrenor have been awarded best brands for consecutive 3 years in the ‘Brand of the Year’ category in chronic and sub-chronic segment by AIOCD-AWACS. Samarth gives the credit to its loyal patients & doctors for supporting, guiding, and motivating the team to put their best foot forward in the focused segment.
The enduring trust which Samarth has earned over the long heritage of 58 years is based on deep-rooted values which stem from the five pillars given below:
85% of products marketed by Samarth are manufactured in-house to offer effective, consistent & high-quality medicines as per the global standards. One of the core values is the ‘timely delivery’ of products which is implemented out of the 4 manufacturing units and more than 3500 supply partners. Samarth is unified to make a difference in the lives of patients through consistent quality and affordable medicines. They are committed to excellence across all areas of operations to maintain the trust of the medical fraternity and patients.
With every dose produced and delivered, quality lies at the forefront. This unmatched quality can be derived due to detailed attention towards procuring high-quality raw material & robust manufacturing processes. Samarth ensures quality excellence not only in manufacturing but in the supply chain and employees following it.
Evidence-based Medical Information
Samarth has a dedicated team of doctors to provide the right evidence-based medical information, so that the medical fraternity has timely information of the latest developments and emerging procedures.
As the patient always comes first for Samarth, they monitor safety at each step from the time of manufacturing till the product gets delivered to the pharmacies. Their team of scientists and pharmacists work relentlessly with strict standards of compliance to serve patients with global quality and safety standards.
Customer First Approach
Samarth has deployed people on ground and at all levels who communicate with the patient, listen to their needs and provide regular feedback to Senior Managers which help them in evolving customer-centric strategies.
Samarth will continue to be specialty-driven. As medical science evolves, so are the specialties evolving. At Samarth, the team works in concurrence with the evolving specialties to meet the patient needs so that the best of the medical endeavours is backed up by quality medicines from Samarth.
The manufacturing capabilities have been the organization’s core strength and have grabbed several awards in the landscape of manufacturing. These recognitions are a reflection of Samarth’s world class manufacturing practices coupled with state-of-art and WHO-GMP certified facilities. Samarth is now strengthening its capabilities through a foray into Biotechnology. They have started with isolating and purifying biological molecules from their natural sources like tissues and natural microbes and as a natural progression. They have also initiated work on the r-DNA technology, which reduces dependency on scarce natural sources as well as providing desired safe products.
Samarth is setting up a new state-of-the-art anti-cancer facility at Malaysia. The facility shall be operational from November 2021. This facility is built as compliant to PICS guidelines capable of manufacturing all the finished pharmaceutical dosage forms like lyophilized and liquid stable injectable, tablets, and capsules. Samarth’s capability in the development of advanced dosage forms like sustained releases and NDDS (Novel Drug Delivery Systems) shall be enhanced at this facility. Drug forms like microspheres, liposomes, and nano-particles would be manufactured at this facility with best-in-the-class equipment already validated by Samarth at its India facilities. The unmet medical needs of the region, particularly related to anti-cancer drugs shall be met through this facility. Samarth is also planning to set up a Biotech facility in Malaysia, which would again be supported by Samarth’s India facility for products and technologies. This facility shall focus on manufacturing bio-similar by recombinant DNA technology.
Samarth is gaining global footprints with export to 70 countries around the world & plans to strengthen this area across all continents by state-of-the-art manufacturing not only in India but also developing manufacturing capabilities outside the country. While the organization has grown organically, they have initiated partnerships with global firms such as Kemin & CID line, followed by others in pipeline.
Samarth as an organization works as a cohesive team across all the functions in the organization. The whole process of meeting the patient needs does not rest only with the sales and marketing team but gets interwoven between various functions of the organization working towards a common purpose. This gives Samarth a unique strength to meet customer needs & anticipate unmet needs. At Samarth, the talent pool is their strength. However, this gets accentuated because the capabilities are interwoven across functions with a clear focus on stakeholders. The strong value chain from procurement to manufacturing to distribution to marketing, sales & customer relationship management with zero debt financial prudence helps the organization to meet patient needs timely and with precision in quality.
The organization is driven by values that are pervasive. The inclusive ownership culture inspires every employee to work passionately for the common purpose of impacting lives positively & thereby adding life to life. The organization’s undeterred focus has been on the values that Samarth stands for - Patient driven approach with a high level of teamwork. Being a pharmaceutical company, great emphasis is laid on quality and an uncompromising component of integrity in each individual and function of the company. At Samarth, they believe that these Values are the foundation of their organization & it is important that they keep these values in sight as Samarth moves into a glorious future ahead.

New Ideas About Co-Housing in the Annapolis Valley
There are new ideas afoot about how to live in our valley. Two groups are holding meetings and inviting the public to discover new ways to interact with neighbours and live out what it means to be part of a community.
Co-Housing Public Meeting in Windsor
A group in the Windsor area has been meeting over the past year to discuss and learn about Co-housing. On Sunday, October 22 (1pm-3pm) the group is hosting their first Co-Housing Public Meeting at the Cedar Centre in Windsor and inviting anyone interested to stop by, enjoy the local refreshments, and see and hear what Co-Housing could mean in the Annapolis Valley.
According to the Canadian Co-Housing Network, Co-housing is a concept that came to North America in 1988 from Denmark where it emerged in the 1960s. Residents usually own their own individual homes which are clustered around a common house with shared amenities.
According to Windsor group member Ann Knowles, the group is investigating what might work best for this area. “We are open to considering various types of developments and are not yet restricted to one particular location or style, as we all have various needs and dynamics in our lives, currently.” says Knowles, “However, our common understanding is that the time is coming when the only tolerable option for us will be to live as a neighbourly community in smaller private homes, in close proximity to like minded individuals, with cooperation that allows us to share common land, talents, efforts, gardens, care giving, and child care, as well as the more practical things of life: occasional group meals, cars, laundry facilities, maintenance expenses, and garden/lawn equipment. In the meantime, we are studying, discussing, encouraging and constantly thinking of the best way to set up our future with this in mind.”
The keynote speaker for the October 22 meeting will be joining the audience via Skype. Margaret Critchlow is the co-founding director of the Canadian Senior Co-housing Society and a founding member of successful Co-Housing community in Sooke, BC called Harbourside. Harbourside now has 31 fully occupied waterfront units with housing members ranging in age from 40 to 80.
Knowles is hoping that the meeting will offer curious individuals and family members the chance to learn about co-housing. There will be local refreshments on hand and Knowles is hoping that this initiative will spark the imaginations of those present towards a future where community means more than just the occasional wave or nod. “We want to see an alternative life style that will offer more by embracing old fashioned community living ideals and social contact via co-housing.” says Knowles. She’s excited by the interest she’s seeing already, “At the moment, there are 3-4 such Nova Scotian enclaves of co-housing in the early planning stages. These are striving to educate, deal with rezoning issues, design parameters that include sustainability and green spaces, and most particularly, sustain a village-like climate for either multi generational, or senior groups. It can’t happen soon enough from our perspective.”
Co-Housing Public Meeting

To be successful in organic gardening, you need patience and persistence. A green thumb also helps considerably. The idea here is to grow healthy, great-tasting food bereft of pesticides, herbicides and other unnatural chemical enhancers. This seems to be easier said than done, though, right? If you want to have the most professional gardening skills you can, read the tips in this article.
When starting your organic garden, a great tip is to figure out which vegetables you should pick to plant in your garden. Some vegetables are better suited for home germination than others are. Some great vegetables to consider planting include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, peppers, onions, tomatoes, basil, and more.
Making your own compost for organic gardening is extremely simple and easy to do. It provides soil of gardens with rich nutrients and keeps soil cool during summer months. You can use kitchen waste, sawdust, aquarium water, coffee grounds, tea leaves, rabbit or hamster droppings, a thin layer of lawn clippings, spices and eggshells in your compost. Supplement with organic liquid fertilizer for an extra growth burst.
Use companion plants. Companion planting is the pairing of plants within your vegetable garden, such as planting cabbage with tomatoes. Companion planting helps reduce the problems with insect pests, as it attracts natural pest-controlling wildlife. Companion planting is also a better use of the space in your garden, since you basically have two plants in the same plot.
Perennial gardens should be prepared easily and quickly in the ground. Take your spade and work up a thin layer of soil. Turn that soil over, then spread a few inches of wood chips on the newly turned area. Let this sit for a couple weeks, next dig into it to plant your new plants.
If you don’t have the space to have an actual garden in the ground, it’s perfectly acceptable to have an organic garden in containers. There are only a few root vegetables like asparagus that won’t grow well in containers, so feel free to explore. Containers are perfect to grow organic tomatoes, green beans, green onions and many other organic vegetables.
Instead of pulling weeds, turn them into nourishment for your garden. Some weeds, like Lamium or Chickweed, are tough to remove one at a time. Instead, using a sharp shovel or spade, cut under the weeds and turn them over, making sure to bury all of the leaves. The weeds will rot, providing the soil with nourishment like composting.
Utilize frost covers for your plants when it gets cold. Frost may cause tiny ice crystals to form in your plant and shred the natural, soft flesh of the plant. Milk jug containers and other plastics can help assist you in making a closed environment around your plant. Ideally you want to protect your plant from being exposed to the cold outside air.
Location is very important to organic gardening. Your garden should be in an area that will get at least ten hours of sunlight during the summer. Prior to starting your garden, make sure that your location does not have any large obstructions that will cast shadows and block the sun. Plants need an adequate amount of sunlight to live.
Any organic gardening project is immediately susceptible to fungal diseases that can rot and ruin your seeds or seedlings before they even have a chance to grow. In order to prevent this, you should use sphagnum moss which acts as a natural fungicide. When your seeds are planted into the soil, apply the moss immediately after planting. On the other hand, if your seeds are exposed to sunlight, you should apply the moss first, and then deposit the seeds on the moss. You only need to use a sprinkle of moss.
To succeed at a nature based hobby like organic gardening, you need a little hard work and a whole lot of patience. However, the tastiness of the produce you grow will be a reward in itself. Through the careful application of this advice and with time and effort, you will be able to call yourself a successful organic gardener.

A nine-year-old student in a Louisiana elementary school allegedly had his mouth duct-taped by a substitute teacher.
To no one's surprise, the mother of the fourth grader has said she will pursue legal action against the teacher, reports NBC. The teacher has already been internally disciplined by the school.
The child's mother said that she noticed her son was upset and that he told her that he did not want to go back to school any more. The child never fully revealed what caused him to be so upset, and school officials only discovered the alleged duct-taping incident after interviewing about 100 students.
It's not clear what prompted the teacher to duct tape the fourth grader's mouth in front of all his peers. Perhaps he was being too loud. But the child is nine-years-old, so who knows what the substitute teacher expected.
While the school district has disciplined the teacher, the student's mom indicated that she will pursue further criminal charges. The teacher has filed a report with the police and police are already investigating the incident.
A police spokesperson said that if enough probable cause exists, they will issue a warrant and have the substitute teacher arrested. If there's not enough cause, the case will be submitted for review, reports NBC.
Probable cause for the police means something different than the school disciplinary system. While the school found enough evidence to discipline the teacher, this does not necessarily mean that the police have enough evidence to arrest someone.
Generally, if a detective determines that there are enough facts to cause a reasonable person to believe that a crime was committed by the substitute teacher, the teacher may have to answer criminally for the conduct.
Given the interview of 100 students by the district, there appears to be plenty of evidence available for police. So the teacher better have a good criminal defense attorney ready.

Delya sat in her room for several hours trying to figure out how she would get out to see her father again. She had tried to leave a short while after Drivet had left, but the guards refused to let her out. "Drivet doesn't want you at the fridona," was all they would tell her. What did 'fridona' mean? She had never heard the word. Was she a prisoner after all? The windows wouldn't open and the only door was guarded. She checked the door several times over the next hour and never found it unguarded.
After awhile the guards feed her, though it still wasn't enough to fill her up. Moping about the room she came upon her box of frena and ate two of the remaining pieces. Feeling her spirits lift she looked about the room and tried to figure out how to get free. Spotting the wand on the floor she walked over and picked it up. Stupid thing did nothing but sparkle, glow or make a small flame. Drivet had claimed that it could do much more, but he hadn't shown her how.
"Papa?" Where was she? Everything was dark. She could hear Papa though. She heard other men too. They all seemed to be arguing. Who was he talking to in the dark like this? Feeling along the wall she found a doorway leaking a faint light. Peering in she saw Papa along with the other men huddled around a table with a single candle.
Moving towards her Papa she tried to see the faces of the other men in the dark. If only it wasn't so dark. That one was huge though. Was he? "No," she gasped, "An Ortanan!" And that stocky one had to be a Mesini. Was that little one a Gnome, no they weren't real. It was a Bensian! Only the Trevvan were missing of the major races of Soria. Why were they here?
The next two sections I wrote are both short and I'm a week behind on posting so I'm going to post them together.
Delya walked down the hall side by side with Drivet. She was happy to be able to walk again. Looking up at Drivet again she grinned. He had helped make her better. Now he was taking her to see her family again. They were all going to be together again. She started to skip for a moment and then stopped again when her leg started to ache slightly.
They turned the corner and Delya saw the open door. She hurried in despite her leg and saw what was left of her family. Papa was sitting in a chair facing the door and Momma had baby Valya cradled in her arms. Papa reached over and set his hand on Momma's arm as he jumped up. Momma looked up at Papa's movement and let out a little squeak.
Delya awoke with a scream. She screamed until her throat was parched and sore and she could scream no more. When she stopped she realized that the screaming hadn't. Someone else was still screaming. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was leaving her fathers room with Drivet. Papa had been screaming. Was that him screaming? Was that him? She had to find her Papa. She tried to sit up and she found that she could indeed scream more after all. The pain in her left side had returned and if anything it was worse. She was unable to move. As she lay there she just kept asking herself, "Is that Papa? Where was Momma and Gill and little Valya? Someone please help!"
Delya had horrible nightmares. She dreamed of constant screaming and crying. She cried herself, but she didn't know why. She had a vague memory of her bones being set, but the memory repeated over and over again. Were the screams hers? Who else would be screaming? At one point she had looked in a mirror and all of the skin had been gone from one side of her face. She remembered a knife. What about the knife? It wavered on the edge of her memory.
Here is the first part of a story I've been working on for a few months. I already have nine parts done, but I'm only going to post about once a week since I write slow. Later parts are somewhat disturbing and not suitable for work or small children. It started off as a fantasy due to it being based on an RPG character of mine, but I am re-writing it as science fantasy.
Delya stormed out of her hut yelling across the courtyard, "I've been with you to visit the Trevvan before. I want to go again! Why won't you let me come, Papa?" She watched as Pasinia Deriya turned back to gaze at her patiently. Her father turned back to gaze at her patiently. Giving him her best "I'm the cutest five-year-old in the world" smile she twirled her dark brown hair. She had manipulated him into bringing her along many times and she knew this trick was one of her best, but she could see from across the open courtyard that he was going to be unwilling to give this time. Still, she would not let him go without at least trying.

Jonathan Landeen is Chef/Owner/Restaurateur of the famed Jonathan's Tucson Cork, known as much for his iconic mustache and chef's hat as he is for his fine-dining, Southwestern cuisine. He has been a staple in the Tucson restaurant scene for more than 30 years, with his namesake endeavor nearing its 20th anniversary as a must-dine fixture. I asked him nine questions about, what else, food.
What was the first dish you had that changed your perspective on food?
My parent's classic Thanksgiving dinner. The expectations of the meal are so much higher than your everyday dinner. The fact that family, friends, slow-comfort food are at the forefront is what it's all about.
What are you eating these days?
A lot of sushi and fresh fish. I am still really into soups. Anything light and refreshing.
What was the first dish you remember cooking?
Beef Stroganoff. My father used to make it. The richness of the mushrooms and sour cream are great for kids and adults alike. It's a classic you don't really see much anymore.
What concept, ingredient or food trend does everyone seem to love, but you just can't stomach?
Everybody is Kimchi-ing everything. I mean, it's alright, but I don't really get it.
What chef, with us or passed on, would you most like to cook or eat dinner with?
I had the pleasure of eating and cooking with Bud Judd of the Tack Room. If I had to pick one, I would cook/eat with Paul Prudhomme again. I trained with him in New Orleans. He was really an inspiration to me. I think about food all the time, and he thinks about food more than I do.
What city, other than Tucson, is your favorite place to eat?
San Francisco or New Orleans. I guess I would have to go with New Orleans, because they have the most regional specific cuisine, and it's a riff on home cooking.
Speaking in junk food terms, what is your favorite guilty pleasure?
Ice cream. Any and every kind. If I have ice cream in the house, I don't for long. Especially if you pair it with a cookie or a brownie. Yummm.
Top three Tucson restaurants?
I don't go out to eat much but I do like lunches at Kingfisher. We occasionally go to dinner at Vivace or Café Torino, because I don't cook a lot of Italian food. I also like sushi bars close to my restaurant like Kazoku or Sachiko.
With a figurative electric chair in your immediate future, what is your last meal?
Well, I know I would start with some champagne and caviar, and maybe some lox. I would also end with some champagne and caviar. For my entrée, I'd like a Maine lobster, and dessert, I think my almond roca over dulce de leche ice cream on top of a deep dish apple pie!

Lithuania’s Defence Ministry warns his nation’s citizens to throw away Chinese phones and not buy new ones.
The country’s National Cyber Security Centre tested Chinese made 5G mobiles. It then reported claims one Xiaomi phone had built-in censorship tools and a Huawei handset had security flaws.
"The Xiaomi phone includes software modules specifically designed to leak data to Chinese authorities and to censor media related to topics the Chinese government considers sensitive.
“The Huawei phone replaces the standard Google Play application store with third-party substitutes the NCSC found to harbour sketchy, potentially malicious repackaging of common applications.”
Both companies denied the claims. But we all know they would do that regardless of any merit.
A fuss over Chinese made phones was always going to happen.
The ball started rolling in 2018. For years before 2018 there were whispers circulating about Huawei’s ability to spy on conversations passing through its network equipment. Arguments ranged from rational and plausible to downright fanciful.
Whether any spying took place was immaterial. Western governments were concerned that critical network infrastructure could become a Chinese-owned monopoly. Or at least dominated by Huawei to the point where it might as well be a monopoly.
had to be stopped before it was
With Huawei network equipment in the spotlight, attention turned to phone handsets. These also had spying potential.
It didn’t help that the US was fighting a trade war with China.
When this was going on, it was clear that if Huawei is a problem, you have to consider other Chinese network equipment and phone makers as risky. And while we are looking in that direction, questions were asked about Chinese factories making phones for western brands.
The jury remains out on
whether Huawei is spying on customers.
If you don’t think China poses a cybersecurity risk, you haven’t been paying enough attention. There’s a Wikipedia page looking at the issue.
It may not be related to these risks, but Chinese phones have taken a smaller share of New Zealand sales in recent years. Samsung and Apple continue to dominate.
IDC reports that for the first quarter of 2021 they accounted for 84 percent of the market. That figure measures units. If IDC measured dollars, the top pair would be more than 90 percent of the market.
Regardless of cybersecurity fears, readers would be well advised to stay away from Xiaomi and its regularly updated Chinese government approved blocklist of sites.
If nothing else, the company gets reports on your browsing activity. Your activity could end up on a database and land you in trouble if, say, you travelled to China.
Red flag for Chinese phones was first posted at billbennett.co.nz.

I don't even know how I missed the symbolism in my preview. I gushed about how this could be Rick Nash's last home game in a Jackets uniform, and completely glossed over the fact that this is game #61 on the season. That's a bit too messed up, even for my "I don't believe in ghosts of the Loch Ness Monster" sensibilities.
None the less, we get our first look at the Avalanche since back in October. The Jackets have played 56 games since the last time these two met. That's some crazy scheduling; Columbus has played its entire season series with San Jose, Anaheim, and has finished playing Nashville since the last time these two clubs went at it.
Colorado is a speed team, and that has often given the Jackets problems. Columbus gets James Wisniewski back tonight, has called up Cam Atkinson with the loss of Antoine Vermette and Jeff Carter to the forward corps, and Curtis Sanford is back off of IR, though it appears that he will be the backup tonight.
As the cloud of the trading deadline hangs overhead and the winds outside howl (seriously... my garbage cans were like four houses away when I got home today... WTF, February weather?), the Jackets look to build on a 5-3-1 string of solid play--minus a game or two here and there--in the face of perhaps seeing their Captain and the face of their franchise skate in his home building for the last time.
If this is it, enjoy it folks.

A man who died after taking part in the Great North Swim has been named as Colin Pringle from Wallington.
The 52-year-old was airlifted to Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle after becoming ill in the water.
Police said he suffered a ‘medical emergency’ before dying later in hospital.
He was taking part in a two mile swim across Lake Windermere in the Lake District on Friday, June 13.
A Cumbria Constabulary spokeswoman said: "At 4.40pm police at the event were alerted to a man who was taken by air ambulance to the Cumberland Infirmary, as a result of a medical emergency.
"The man, aged 52, sadly died.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner has been informed."
The Great Swim is the UK’s biggest open water swimming series, with events taking place up and down the country.
A spokesman from event organiser Nova International said: "Colin was attended to immediately by accident and emergency medical staff and transferred by the Great North Air Ambulance to the Cumberland Infirmary.
"Sadly despite the best efforts of the medical professionals he later died.
"Colin's family would like to express their gratitude to the medical teams who tried to save him and for the messages of goodwill and sympathy they have received.
"They have now asked to be allowed to come to terms with their loss in private."
More to follow.

RICHMOND, Va., July 14, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Insmed Inc. (Nasdaq CM: INSM), a developer of follow-on biologics and biopharmaceuticals for unmet medical needs, today announced that the Company has retained the services of RBC Capital Markets (RBC) to act as its strategic financial advisor.
"Insmed's Board of Directors and senior management team are dedicated to enhancing shareholder value and will be utilizing RBC's experience and expertise to examine a number of various strategic alternatives that may achieve this end," said Geoffrey Allan, President and CEO of Insmed. "We firmly believe that Insmed has one of the most advanced follow-on biologics platforms in the U.S. and that follow-on biologics represent a multi-billion dollar opportunity. We are confident that this process to prioritize strategic alternatives aimed at leveraging our significant assets will lead to enhanced value for all of our stakeholders."
Insmed's biologics facility in Boulder, CO, in combination with its highly experienced staff specialized in therapeutic protein development, positions the Company to pursue the significant opportunities expected to be available in the emerging follow-on biologics (FOB) industry. Insmed's comprehensive capabilities in cell line development, product characterization, manufacturing, and clinical development of follow-on biologics, position Insmed to potentially be one of the first few initial entrants in the rapidly evolving FOB marketplace.
Insmed's most advanced follow-on biologics, INS-19, (Granulocyte Colony
Stimulating Factor or G-CSF), an FOB of Neupogen(R), and INS-20 (Peg
G-CSF), an FOB of Neulasta(R), recorded combined 2007 brand sales of over
$4 billion for the treatment of neutropenia. The Company recently announced
that it has demonstrated the bioequivalence of INS-19 compared to
Neupogen(R), becoming the first U.S. company to disclose such human

While I wait for my car to be repaired after an accident I was in four weeks ago, I am driving a rental vehicle – a very pretty silver Polo classic with only 5000km on the clock. Let me take this opportunity to say that while I am thoroughly enjoying zipping around town in this lovely little vehicle, it has posed some problems owing to the following:
1) There are very many silver cars in Johannesburg
2) There are very many silver Polo Classics in Johannesburg
3) From the front, the Polo looks like the VW Golf.
4) From the side, the Polo looks like the VW Golf, Toyota Corolla, and most other smallish cars.
So yesterday, following a lovely afternoon with G.B, C.F and HiD, I stopped by the shops. After buying 3-ply toilet paper (thought I would spoil myself), I walked back to my car and remarked to myself how I hadn’t noticed the red stripe above my grill in the week that I’d had this car. Ignoring this piece of information which would become rather vital in the next 30 seconds, I inserted my key in the lock and turned. Nothing happed. I tried harder. Again, nothing happened. I stepped away from the car and noticed that, in fact, this was not my car that I was forcibly trying to unlock. Unfortunately, the owner of said car was standing a few metres away, watching me trying to break into his car. I backed away quickly, twittering that it was a hired car and thus the mistake…blah blah blah. He seemed to understand….until he saw me trying to unlock a silver Toyota, parked a space away from my car. At this point I became quite uncertain what my name was, let alone how I managed to make such an arse of myself in such a short period of time.
Perhaps it was the three cocktails I’d consumed in the previous two hours. Perhaps I am just stupid. Either way, the next car I buy will most definitely not be silver, and will have identifying marks such as purple polka dots.

Manufactured chemicals play a key role in the provision of a large range of goods and services that support our lifestyles and economies. However, even small amounts of some chemicals can endanger human health and the environment. With increasing quantities of such chemicals in the environment and improved scientific understanding of their effects on people and ecosystems, the challenge is to find the right balance between the benefits and risks of chemicals. This is a "dilemma for modern society: we use chemical substances to solve problems, but we dont know the price we have to pay in terms of health and environment. We cannot exclude the risk of unpleasant surprises from chemicals of the kind man has repeatedly experienced in the past." (KEMI, 1998.)
To what extent is Europe s use of chemicals affecting people
and the environment? Paracelsus, the 16th century father of the science of poisons
(toxicology) said " All substances are poisons: it is the dose that
determines whether they act as a poison or a remedy " ( Cassarett and Doull,
A chemical may be potentially harmful (toxic), but if there is no, or very little exposure ( "dose" ) to people or the environment, there is no chance, or risk of harm (Fig. 1).
However, as seen with the CFC chemicals that have damaged the ozone layer, it is very difficult to know, or predict, what the harmful level of exposure to chemicals may be, and then to ensure that actual exposures in the environment are kept below those levels. Certainty in these matters is rare, so all who have a stake in the risks of harm from chemicals the public, businesses, policy-makers and scientists have a role in trying to determine an acceptable "dose" of chemicals for humankind and for the planet.
Natural chemicals are also widespread in the environment and may cause problems for human health and ecosystems, but unless they enter the manufactured chemical processes, they are not covered here.
Some pesticides are mentioned, but particular legal controls on pesticides and biocides are not covered in this survey.
The current report aims to improve public awareness by exploring four key questions concerning the management of chemicals:
1 . How many chemicals are there on the market and what is known about their hazards?
2 . What is known about how chemicals move through and accumulate in the environment?
3 . What are the known and suspected human and ecological risks from exposure to chemicals?
4 . What are the current and emerging policy initiatives for reducing or eliminating these risks ?
There are many uncertainties about the impacts of chemicals on people and the environment, but the scientific and policy complexities are better appreciated and understood than they were just a decade or so ago. This has encouraged the development of a "new paradigm" in chemicals risk management based on the "precautionary principle" and on the provision of incentives to reduce the total "dose" of chemicals potentially hazardous to the environment.
In this context, the European Commission has begun a stocktaking of the legislative instruments governing chemicals, commencing in 1998 with the review of:
- the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances
Directive No 67/548/EEC
- the existing substances Regulation, (EEC) No 793/93.
The focus of this report is manufactured chemicals in Europe, but some information relates only to the EU, or to developments in other countries in the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), which reflect the global nature of the production and use of chemicals.

September 1 marks the first day of meteorological autumn. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explains that meteorological seasons are based on changes in temperature and are therefore more accurate predictors of weather changes than the solstice and equinox dates of the astronomical calendar. The air is indeed a bit cooler here in the upper Mid-Atlantic. The available gardening hours between too hot and too buggy are extending while at the same time daylight hours are decreasing, which is rather unfair, when you think about it. Here in Zone 5A, we can expect light frost from mid-September onward and some years it feels like autumn is just a short, steep slide into winter.
Taken on its own merits, however, autumn is a wonderful season as it is all about color. As we nudge toward the astronomical autumn equinox, the huge blooms of the Pee Gee Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) begin to blush in Grandmother’s rock garden and the apples are also taking on cheeky colors. Sunflowers nod their heavy seed heads for the goldfinches and blue jays. A stand of goldenrod surrounds a large patch of native milkweed from which one glorious year Ken saw a host of Monarch butterflies rise in flight against a sky that has never seemed so blue.
In September I take a break from the heavy task of avoiding gardening chores and think about dyeing wool. I generally stick to commercial dyes because I am looking for dependable, repeatable results. Dyeing wool with naturally made dyes is more of an art as results can vary widely depending on when the plant material was collected and what mordents are used. It also requires a great deal more time because it can take a day or more to extract the dye from the plant material.
Found in abundance in autumn, goldenrod is a perfect plant material for a first natural dye project.
I began my journey toward natural dyes with goldenrod, available in abundance in autumn and the dye bath is relatively easy to prepare with just a few steps and a simple, safe mordant.
The first thing I discovered that, in quantity, goldenrod can provoke quite a strong allergic reaction even from someone like me who heretofore has not suffered from plant allergies. My sneezing fit began while I was picking my second grocery bag of blossoms and the histamine reaction really hit its stride when I started to boil the blossoms to extract the dye.
I have since moved all of my dyeing activities outside to a wonderful work area built by my amazing husband, which brings me to the point that one should always separate utensils and prep areas for dyeing from food preparation areas. Never use any pot, bowl, basin, spoon or any other equipment for food that you have even once used to extract dye, or to dye wool. All commercial dye instructions carry this warning and if any instructions for extracting dyes from plant material do not, they should. “Natural” does not mean “safe” but with a little care dyeing wool is really quite fun. Let’s get started!
Goldenrod blossoms equal in weight to the fiber you would like to dye.
stock pot or crockpot with lid
Strainer or cheese cloth.
Clear measuring cup
dish soap (original Dawn)
Step 1: Collect a large quantity of goldenrod heads – the general rule is an equal weight of dye stuff to wool, so if you are dyeing a pound of wool, you would need a pound of goldenrod. I contented myself with about four ounces, or a grocery bag full.
Step 2. Put the blossoms in a large stockpot, cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer for about an hour then let the dye bath cool. If you are using a crockpot, it will take at least a few hours and perhaps most of the day to extract the color.
You can let the dye material overnight for stronger color, but if you are in a hurry to dye something, go ahead and strain the dye bath to remove the goldenrod. Your resulting dyebath should be yellow. If the color doesn’t suit you, repeat the extraction process with more goldenrod.
Step 3: While recovering from your sneezing fit and waiting for the dye bath to cool, you can prepare the wool for dyeing. If you are dyeing yarn, tie the skein loosely in 4 or 5 places, then submerge in tepid water with a bit of dish soap (plain Dawn is usually recommended). If you are dyeing fiber or roving, you might want to lay a piece of cheesecloth or use a strainer in the basin to easily pick up the fiber without stretching it. Soak the piece for about a half hour, then gently rinse in tepid water and let drain or wrap in a towel to remove excess water. Damp wool takes color more evenly.
Measure out your mordant. The recipe for four ounces of wool is ¼ teaspoon of potassium aluminum sulfate and 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar. The mordant both increases the wool’s uptake of color and also helps to preserve the color from fading.
Potassium aluminum sulfate is a relatively safe and effective mordant for most dyeing processes and is available through shops that sell fiber dyestuff. This is not the alum that is sold in grocery stores for food recipes. You can however use the cream of tartar you find in grocery stores.
When the dye bath has cooled and strained dissolve the mordant into the dye bath and mix well.
Step 4: Now for the really fun part: Add the damp wool to the dyebath. If the dyebath does not completely cover the wool, add tepid water. Bring the dyebath to a simmer in either a crockpot or stock pot. Hold the simmer for about an hour in either the crock pot or the stockpot. Gently stir the wool occasionally so the color takes up more evenly. After one hour turn off the heat source, remove the lid and let the dye bath cool completely before removing the wool. You can leave the pot to cool overnight, or if you are eager to see your result, wait until the water has completely cooled.
Step 5. Remove the wool from the dye bath and rinse in tepid water until the water runs clear. You may find some color runs out of the wool. This means that the wool has taken up all the color it can hold. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay out the wool to dry in an airy place. I use a window screen for fiber and simply hang yarn skeins over the clothes line. I turn it occasionally, squeezing out excess water. When the wool has thoroughly dried, you can begin your project!
The brim of this hat was knitted with a succession of naturally dyed yarns, including indigo, cochineal, and goldenrod.

We tend to take the Super Bowl for granted.
The championship game of the National Football League is the biggest entertainment event in the United States each year. It is watched by more Americans on television than anything else, by a large margin. Advertisers spend huge chunks of their annual budgets to broadcast just a few seconds of commercials during the game. Some of the world’s most popular musicians take the stage at halftime to perform the most elaborate sets of their careers. There are calls to make the day after Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.
The whole thing is a monstrous, quasi-religious spectacle. And it’s been like that for decades.
Last year’s game was seen live by almost 100 million Americans. That actually marked a slight dip from the heights of 2015, when the game was watched on TV by 114 million people—the biggest audience for a single-network broadcast in the country’s history. (The Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 brought in more viewers, but it was simultaneously aired across several networks.)
The 2018 telecast was watched by about 70% of US homes with TVs, up from 61% a decade ago, according to Nielsen. In fact, the Super Bowl has never fallen below that 61% share. Every year since the game started, without exception, well over half of Americans households with a TV tuned in. In many cases, more than three-quarters tuned in. (1976 marked a record 78% share.)
But how, exactly, did the Super Bowl get this way? How did it become such an unavoidable phenomenon?
It coincided with the growth of TV
In 1955, just half of American households had a TV set. In the following years, as color TV programming became more popular, the vast majority of households in the country had access to a television.
By 1967, the year of the first Super Bowl, 93% of US households had a TV (55 million total). Today, while the number of total American households has dramatically increased (about 128 million as of 2019), the percentage of them with a TV hasn’t gone much higher than that 93%. TV isn’t any more popular today relative to the population than it was in 1967—but there are a lot more TVs.
The NFL capitalized on this organic growth by getting in at the right time. American audience were hungry for big spectacles to watch communally, and football gave it to them.
It began with a built-in rivalry
As part of the merger between the NFL and its rival, the American Football League (AFL), the two leagues agreed to compete in a joint championship game in 1967, before officially merging into a single entity three years later.
The first two Super Bowls were not particularly close, as the NFL’s Green Bay Packers (led by Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi) defeated the AFL’s Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders in 1967, and 1968, respectively. Those games had many wondering if the AFL teams could ever compete with the NFL, which had been around for 40 years longer.
But then came the AFL’s Joe Namath and the New York Jets, who shockingly upset the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III to give the AFL its first-ever Super Bowl victory. The Chiefs defeated the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings the following year, proving AFL teams could compete with the legacy NFL teams moving forward.
Synonymous with “patriotism”
Almost immediately after the Super Bowl started, the NFL wrapped itself in the American flag and initiated a close relationship with the US military, hoping to turn the spectacle into something of a holiday. It succeeded.
Pete Rozelle, a World War II veteran and the league’s commissioner at the time, organized the first military flyover during the 1968 Super Bowl. A year later, the theme of the halftime show was “America Thanks.” In 1970, the halftime show featured a reenactment of the 1815 Battle of New Orleans between US and British troops.
Since then, the NFL has marketed itself—and the Super Bowl specifically—as a uniquely American event. It has become not only a celebration of the sport, but also a celebration of the country, reflecting how many Americans (and much of the rest of the world) has now come to see it: with big, bombastic pageantry.
It helps that the game itself is incredibly violent. You don’t have to squint hard to see how it might remind viewers of war. Even some of the sport’s terminology—”trenches,” “blitz,” “bomb”—is borrowed from the language of warfare.
“From a distance, a football game resembles a pre-modern battle: two groups of men in uniforms, wearing protective gear, crash into each other,” Michael Mandelbaum wrote in The American Interest. “Like most military battles, football is a contest for territory, with each team trying to advance the ball to the opposing side’s goal.”
Teams from major media markets dominated
In the 1970s, two teams from major US markets started to dominate: the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins (in addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers, from a smaller market). In 1978, sportscaster John Facenda dubbed the Cowboys “America’s Team” because they were so good and appeared on TV so often. The nickname has stuck for 40 years.
The Cowboys, Dolphins, and Steelers combined to win seven of the 10 Super Bowls that decade. The NFL also leaned into the growing celebrity of its best players, including Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Walter Payton, and O.J. Simpson.
The 1980s marked the rise of even more big-market teams, like the New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Washington Redskins, and San Francisco 49ers—all of which won at least one Super Bowl during the decade. When the country’s most populous cities field the best teams, the league prospers.
Advertisers saw an opportunity
With access to a gigantic TV audience they couldn’t find anywhere else, advertisers realized the Super Bowl presented a unique opportunity to sell their products and brands. As the commercials became more ubiquitous, so too did the Super Bowl, feeding off each other in a tornado of corporatism.
The Super Bowl commercial that really kicked this all off was the 1973 Noxcema ad featuring Namath and actress Farrah Fawcett. “I’m so excited, I’m going to get creamed,” says Joe Namath, before Fawcett rubs shaving cream all over his face.
Intentionally raunchy, the ad was designed by Madison Avenue specifically to ignite discussion during the game and the next morning. It helped launch a wave of celebrity-endorsed products that continues to this day, and began a Super Bowl tradition of companies broadcasting provocative conversation starters to drive consumers toward their brands.
In 1978, the NFL moved the Super Bowl to primetime in the US eastern time zone for the first time, in part to please the growing number of advertisers seeking the valuable ad space. The result was the most-watched Super Bowl broadcast to date, jumping 27% in total viewers from the year prior—by far the largest year-to-year increase in the game’s history. That was perhaps the year the Super Bowl went from an already enormous event into a permanent staple of American culture.
Super Bowl ads may have reached a creative apex in 1984, when Apple introduced the Macintosh computer to the world. Directed by Ridley Scott, the high-concept Apple ad became a phenomenon, still considered today to be one of the greatest commercials of all time.
Points put butts in seats
After scoring in the NFL decreased throughout the 1960s and much of the 1970s, teams steadily began to score more points per game in the late 1970s. Other than a brief defensive blip in the early 1990s, the league has mostly maintained that trajectory to the present day. In 2019, teams averaged 22.8 points per game, up from a low point of 17.2 per game in 1977. Five of the 10 highest-scoring Super Bowls ever have all come since 2003.
Defense might win championships, but points get people to watch. The NFL prefers to keep it that way.
Unlike most other league championships, the Super Bowl is a single event. It’s easy. It’s straightforward. It’s not drawn out over several games, some of which are more exciting than others. Viewers only have to make plans for a few hours on one Sunday each winter—a time when they may not be doing much else. The Super Bowl might not be an official American holiday, but it is, for better and for worse, the most American event the world has ever known.

While we love the Panasonic Lumix LX100, it dates from 2014, which is a long time ago in camera development terms. So naturally we are delighted that Panasonic has introduced an update, the Lumix LX100 II. And Panasonic has stuck with a winning formula that combines a superb Leica DC Vario-Summilux 24-75mm (equivalent) f1.7-2.8 lens with a multi-aspect Four-Thirds type sensor, in a compact body with an electronic viewfinder.
The most significant change brought by the new camera is the sensor. This has been uprated from a 16MP chip in the Mark I to a 21.77MP sensor in the Mark II camera. As before, this sensor works as a multi-aspect device, which means it’s actually larger than is required by any of the available aspect ratios. As a result, the largest images are made up of 17 million pixels, up from 12 million pixels with the original LX100. This adds to its appeal as possibly one of the best travel cameras (opens in new tab) out there right now for expert photographers.
See also: Best Panasonic cameras in 2019
To help photographers make greater use of the sensor’s multi-aspect nature, there’s a switch on the lens barrel that allows you to swap quickly between shooting in 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:3 ratio. This is a great prompt to consider aspect ratio at the shooting stage rather than when processing images. In fact, it’s beneficial to do so as in Adobe Camera Raw, the RAW files only have the data from the aspect ratio they are captured in. This means any post-capture aspect changes crop into that image. With other cameras’ aspect ratio settings it’s usually possible to see the image from the whole sensor.
Panasonic has used a very similar, if not the same, body for the LX100 II as it did for the original camera. It has a high-quality feel with metal dials and slim, but effective grips. The traditional exposure controls are also there, with shutter speed and exposure compensation dials on the top plate and an aperture ring on the lens. As well as specific values, the aperture ring and shutter speed dial both have ‘A’ for automatic settings. This means that in addition to manual exposure, you can set the LX100 II to operate in aperture priority, shutter priority and program exposure mode. The sensitivity (ISO) options can be accessed by pressing the up navigation button or the Quick Menu button. There’s also a button on the top plate to activate Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode should you want it. We found this button prone to being pressed accidentally.
While Panasonic has made the LX100 II’s screen touch-sensitive, it’s disappointing that it’s stuck with a fixed screen. The LX100 II invites you to be creative with your photography, but the fixed screen offers no help when shooting from creative angles. That gripe aside, the screen provides a good view in all but bright sunshine and is responsive to touch. It’s great that both the main and Quick Menus are compatible with touch control.
There’s also an electronic viewfinder built in and although at 0.38 inches it may be fairly small, it’s detailed and very useful, and it enables you to focus on the image in a way that a screen can’t.
The combination of a large sensor (in compact camera terms) and the superb
Leica lens means that the Panasonic LX100 II is able to capture images with a high level of detail. This detail is maintained well up to around ISO 3200, although images shot at this value don’t respond especially well to post-capture brightening.
In the default settings, the LX100 II also tends to produce pleasant, natural colours. And, if you want to create black and white images, the L. Monochrome and L. Monochrome D Photo Styles do a nice job. In many cases, it’s possible to produce images that are ready for sharing in-camera, so it’s nice to have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity built in. We found the Auto Transfer system a bit clunky, but it does the job.

Karratha and Districts eightball back on the table
The Karratha Districts Eightball Association’s season has begun with a few big results.
Mongrels, last year’s dual premiership team, easily accounted for Slayers 13-2 and would be justifiably relieved with the result after they copped an upset first-round loss to Slayers last year.
Punishers were also big winners over Animals, also with a 13-2 result.
The scoreline is significant and suggests Punishers have some new players or their existing players played out of their skins to achieve this result. We will know in the next few weeks if this is an aberration or a new force.
In the Rec Club home derby, Wreckers were too good for Recaholics in a close 9-6 result but the match of the round was between Stickmen and Warriors. Warriors finished minor round premiers in both seasons last year but were knocked out in the preliminary final by Stickmen.
Warriors got some revenge when a huge win against Stickmen ended their summer competition campaign last year, but this match went down to the wire.
Stickmen led 3-2 after the first round and the scores were then locked up at 5-5 after the second.

A fundraiser is taking place this weekend in support of the Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin.
The bulletin provides avalanche forecasting for island mountains. Forecaster Jan Neuspiel says many people are surprised to learn the bulletin relies on fundraising.
Neuspiel says the bulletin also relies on volunteer efforts to help keep it running.
Neuspiel says it’s important to have an island-specific avalanche forecast, especially given the variable conditions we have here on the coast.
The Party for the Bulletin takes place in Cumberland Saturday evening. A second fundraiser will take place at Mount Cain on Family Day weekend.

Fincantieri Delivers Viking Jupiter
Fincantieri's Ancona shipyard has delivered Viking Jupiter, the sixth in a series of 930-passenger ships for Viking Cruises.
The delivery ceremony took place this morning when the ship was presented at Fincantieri's shipyard in Ancona, Italy.
On February 16, Viking Jupiter will be the first in Viking's fleet to sail the Journey to Antiquities itinerary, a new itinerary sailing between Athens and Rome offering guests the chance to experience the Mediterranean during the quiet season.
During its maiden season, Viking Jupiter will sail itineraries throughout the Mediterranean and then Scandinavia. The ship will officially be named in Oslo, Norway on June 6 by her ceremonial godmother, Sissel Kyrkjebø, the acclaimed Norwegian soprano.
"It is always a proud moment when we are able to welcome a new ship to our fleet," said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking. "Viking Jupiter is our sixth ocean vessel in just four years– a clear sign of the positive response to our approach to ocean cruising. We are different because we focus on the destination, and that resonates with our guests. We are pleased that with continued growth we have the opportunity to introduce even more travelers to the Viking way of exploration."
Viking's ocean ships have a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons, with 465 staterooms that can host 930 guests. Viking Jupiter is part of Viking's award-winning ocean fleet of sister ships, which also includes Viking Star, Viking Sea, Viking Sky, Viking Sun, and Viking Orion.
Ten additional ships are also planned for delivery starting in 2021, which could bring Viking's ocean fleet to 16 ships by 2027.

UNIV X CHAMPION HEAVYWEIGHT TEE PROGRAM
We cooked up something good this Summer. Champion has always been a brand we've admired. From band tees to athletic wear, we all have worn a piece of theirs and have admired the longevity of wears it offers without compromising shape. Inspiration from that, we have two beefy heavyweight tees in our collab. Standard classic fit that you'll not want to take off. Summer 18 is ours.

Sir Patrick Stewart will host the academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards on Saturday, Feb. You may learn about the weblog from Follicle Thought on LEO Science & Tech Hub and out interest in Alopecia on the beneath link. This various set of thinkers throughout science, know-how, innovation and enterprise are the driving forces to observe in 2018. In 2008, the Foundation established two awards: one Gold Award of 1,000,000 DKK (roughly $143k USD), and one Silver Award of 500,000 DKK (roughly $71.5k USD) given to gifted and committed younger researchers in recognition of their exceptional contribution to science.
Future technology information say that this robotic structure will likely be sent to out of the planet to strengthen the communication system. Some change-makers are leading the cost from the highest of their sector, while others are disrupting complete industries from the underside up. Wherever their voices are being heard, these are the individuals set to shape the sci-tech industries of 2018 with their ideas.
This assembly hopes to attract 2,500 – three,000 attendees in Orlando, Florida, May sixteen-19, 2018. Based on future technology news nature will probably be utterly protected from air pollution using these new applied sciences because it is not going to produce any deadly or hazardous chemical solvents or gasoline merchandise into the air. Each year, roughly one quarter of students collaborating within the Science and Engineering Truthful of Houston qualify by way of their participation on the SCI://TECH science fair.
The past 5 Sci-Tech hosts have been Zoe Saldana and Chris Pine (2013), Kristen Bell and Michael B. Jordan (2014), Margot Robbie and Miles Teller (2015), Olivia Munn and Jason Segel (2016), and Leslie Mann and John Cho (2017). The Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) and The LEO Foundation (LF) are happy to announce a partnership for the IID 2018 Assembly through which a Gold and Silver Award can be presented.
Take a look at the workshops and featured packages It’s possible you’ll select one workshop and one featured program for each collaborating pupil during SciTech Days. The now-vacant areas are present process a redevelopment with a bigger ground house space for exhibits, a new ‘Metropolis Views’ cafe space with a direct view of the Perth CBD skyline, a new CSIRO Lab, new exhibit space and a brand new Science Theatre.

TNT Casts Key Roles in Geena Davis Drama Deadline
A four-time Oscar nominee is among the latest cast additions for TNT’s upcoming Geena Davis project. Deadline.com reports that the untitled bounty hunter drama pilot has added Enrico Colantoni (“Flashpoint”), Gloria Reuben (“ER”) and four-time Academy Award nominee Marsha Mason (“The Middle”).
“Inspired by the real-life story of bounty hunter Mackenzie Green, the drama stars Davis as Mackenzie “Mack” Green, an unconventional bail bondswoman and bounty hunter whose eccentric personality and unusual tactics give her an advantage in a tough and unpredictable business,” the story reports. “Reuben will play Assistant D.A Kate Mickelson, a tenacious attorney with an honest and blunt relationship with Mack. Colantoni will play Wendell Hicks, Mack’s former accountant hired to run the financial desk at the bail bonds office. Mason plays Mack’s strong and independent mother Lloyd.”
The pilot comes from Dean Devlin‘s Electric Entertainment, Ternion Productions and 3 Arts, and is written by Scott Prendergast and Amy Berg.
Deadline adds: “Devlin is set to direct the pilot; he and Berg will serve as showrunners and will executive produce with Prendergast, John Altschuler, Dave Krinsky, Tom Lassally and Michael Rotenberg. Davis serves as co-executive producer.”
Mason had a string of Oscar nominations from 1974-1982, for “The Goodbye Girl,” “Chapter Two,” “Cinderella Liberty” and “Only When I Laugh” -- all for leading roles.

Durga Saptashati or Devi Mahatmya or Devi Mahatmyam is a Hindu religious sacred text describing the victory of the Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura.
According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was a combination of both an Asura and a buffalo (Mahisha). Mahishasura intended to annihilate all the Devas since they were the arch-enemies of Asuras (demons).
As part of the Markandeya Purana, it is one of the Puranas or secondary Hindu scriptures. This ancient text was composed in Sanskrit during 400-600 CE, with authorship attributed to the sage Rishi Markandeya, from the Hindu tradition. The literally meaning is „Glory of the Goddess”.
This ancient text is called Saptasati because it contains 700 shlokas (sapta means seven, shata means 100 verses). This count includes one-line sentences which are not strictly verses. The entire text is considered as one single sacred mantra.
There is another opinion that the name should be Saptasati as it deals with the story of 7 Satis (saints) or „pious persons”.
The 7 mothers are Varahi, Brahmi, Maheswari, Indraṇi, Kaumari, Vaisṇavi, and Camunḍa.
The Meaning Of Durga Saptashati
The significance of this sacred text has been explained in many Puranic and Tantric texts, such as: Gataka Tantra, Katyayani Tantra, Krodha Tantra, Marisa Kalpam, Meru Tantram (protection sacred mantra), Rudra Yamala, and Chidambara Rahasya.
A number of researchers of Shaktism appreciate the seminal role of it in the development of the Shakta tradition.
This text has been called the Testament of Shakta philosophy. It is the base and root of Shakta doctrine (which is the cult of Goddess Shakti). It appears as the center of the great Shakti tradition. This holy is treated in the cultic context as if it were a Vedic hymn or verse with sage, meter, pradhnadevata, and viniyoga.
You can read the text here.

Experimental evidence shows that hierarchical organization is more inefficient than generally realized.
Ernst Fehr and colleagues got subjects to play an authority-delegation game, in which subjects were divided into principals and agents, and then asked to work on selecting projects with varying payoffs. They made two important discoveries.
First, subordinates put in less effort than you'd expect rational income maximizers to; depending on the treatment, up to half put in no effort at all, even though this was almost never the income-maximizing option.
One reason for this, says Fehr, might lie in regret aversion. People have an aversion to being treated unfairly - which is why they reject unfair but wealth-enhancing offers in ultimatum games - and the fear of not getting a fair reward for their effort makes them loath to work.
This suggests that the trade-off between the allocation of control rights and provision on incentives is greater than conventional theory (pdf) predicts.
Secondly, Fehr and colleagues say:
We find a strong behavioral bias among principals to retain authority against their pecuniary interests and often to the disadvantage of both the principal and the agent.
Some two-fifths of principals did not delegate even when income-maximization required it. This suggests that people get a non-pecuniary buzz from being in control, and seek this benefit at the cost of economic payoffs to themselves and others. This is consistent with the findings of other experiments by Fehr and colleagues, which suggests that hierarchy facilitates exploitation rather than pure economic efficiency.
All this represents a challenge to conventional transactions costs economics, as developed by the likes of Oliver Williamson, which predicts that hierarchy is efficient (pdf) in many plausible conditions. And this poses a challenge to defenders of hierarchical capitalism: do real-world mechanisms such as competition between firms strongly select against the adverse effects of hierarchy which we see in experiments? My suspicion is: perhaps not.

Italy Finds Difficulty In Avoiding Property Tax, VAT Hike
18 June 2013
Posted by: Author: Ulrika Lomas
Author: Ulrika Lomas
While the coalition Italian Government agreed, on June 15, to certain policies it will put forward to improve tax administration, together with minor tax changes, the pressing problems of the value added tax rate increase, due on July 1, and the removal of local property tax on first residences, remain unresolved.
The policies the Government intends to pursue that have been announced to date are mainly tax administration reforms which will largely reduce the incidence of tax authority actions on both businesses and individuals, and will most probably be followed in the next few days by further tax simplification measures.
The latest measures include an extension of the additional 10.5 percent "Robin Hood" tax to energy companies by reducing its thresholds to those companies with an annual revenue greater than EUR3m (USD4m), previously EUR10m, and a taxable income of at least EUR300,000, previously EUR1m.However, given the requirement for Italy to continue to respect its fiscal deficit reduction commitment to the European Union, the possibility of finding the funds – said to be a total of EUR8m, EUR4m for each – to cancel both the one percent VAT hike and IMU from first residences is creating much argument within the governing parties.
The Government has already delayed the interim IMU payment for 2013 until September 16, allowing for reform of the tax by August 31 this year, but Silvio Berlusconi, the leader of the Italian center-right, has maintained his call for IMU reform, first aired during the recent elections, and is also supporting warnings from others, particularly businesses in retail and commerce, of the effect on consumer demand of raising the normal VAT rate during a period of continuing economic recession.
On the other hand, Flavio Zanonato, from the center-left and the present Minister of Economic Development, stated categorically in a television interview that the funds for the most pressing problem, to stop the VAT rate increase, currently do not exist.
Fabrizio Saccomanni, Minister of the Economy, also gave the same message, but has held out the possibility that the Government could delay the increase for three months to obtain a breathing space for it to make further efforts to reduce public spending. With regard to IMU, it has also been suggested that the cost of its reform could be reduced by only cancelling its imposition on lower-value homes.
However, at the same time as the Government prevaricates publicly over property and indirect taxes, it is also receiving continual warnings from the industrial sector that the lack of investment and economic growth in Italy will continue, unless the increasing onerous corporate and labor tax burdens can be reduced as soon as possible. However, Saccomani has had to reiterate that, given the resources being demanded for the other measures, direct tax reduction will only be possible at a later date.

Two other prisoners, Alex Otim and Joseph Odong were released and charges against them were dropped, however, they remain at risk of being rearrested by security agents. The High Court of Uganda has ordered that the body of Peter Oloya, who was reportedly shot in Gulu Central Prison should released to his family for burial.

One picture. Two guys, on the side of the road, sharing a beer. Nothing out of the ordinary, except it happened in the middle of the Boston Marathon, and one of the guys was a runner. And this is how a tradition was started, and a friendship was formed, between a Canadian and a New Englander, on Facebook and on the side of the road in the middle of the most fabled road race of all time.
For eight years, the families have been gathering at the Bianchi house on West Central in Natick, Mass., to watch the Boston Marathon. The Bianchi house sits near the 10-mile marker on the course, the most hallowed race course in running history, one marred by the atrocity of the bombing at the finish line in 2013. A year later, the 2014 race still carried those scars, and they reached all the way back to Natick; a lingering evil that threatened the usually joyous mood of what the locals simply call “the marathon.”
"It was so tense to see all the police cars and SWAT teams before the race,” Danny Langan said.
Danny’s one of the regulars at the Bianchi house. Every year, he packs up a wagon with refreshments - alcoholic and otherwise - and brings his wife and kids to the Bianchi house to watch the marathon. They make a day of it - a day with friends, and the community, and the runners. They offer sliced oranges and water, but more importantly, they offer encouragement to the tens of thousands of runners who stream by every Patriots’ Day.
The Bianchi house sits near the 16-kilometre point of the race to a Canadian, a Canadian like Dave Emilio, a Torontonian who, as he was approaching the Bianchi house in 2014, was deciding it was time to drop out of the race. His singlet was a runner’s version of the 1972 Canada team that overcame all odds to knock off the Russians, but there weren’t any miracles in store on this day. Running with what turned out to be a torn tensor fascia latae - a fancy term for a hip injury - Dave had fallen behind his running partners, popped some Tylenol with no relief, and come to the realization this wasn’t his day. Dave started to walk just after the 15k post, early enough to know the finish line is much too far away to get there on his own. Carrying his phone in case of such an eventuality, Dave texted his wife to tell her he was finished.
So Dave started looking for a ride home. That’s when he came across Danny.
“Come on Canada, keep going!” Danny yelled, trying to give the failing runner a little boost. But all Dave wanted was directions to the train station.
"I told Danny 'I’m done. Hurting too bad to continue'," Dave said.
Danny said he’d give Dave a ride himself, but they were on the wrong side of the road. Instead, Danny told Dave to go see his friends John and Toby in the yellow house a mile ahead, on the other side of the road. They’d give him a ride to the train. “Tell them you’re a friend of Danny’s!”
Before he left, Dave spotted Danny’s cooler. So he did what any good Canadian would do on a day when things aren’t going well. Dave asked Danny for a beer.
“Are we really doing this?” Danny said. He was in shock. Dave’s bib number - a red 7531 - showed he had been in the first wave of starters, one of the truly top-level runners in this race. And now, he was stopping at the Bianchi house, for a beer.
“When he asked, it was kind of cool,” Danny said.
“I saw he had a low number; that stood out in my head.”
Danny gave Dave a beer, and the two posed for a photo. Dave posted it to Facebook. Dave headed back onto the course, walking, limping. And then a funny thing happened. He got caught up in the crowd, started jogging lightly, and went right past the yellow house on the other side of the road. So he set his sights on the lovely ladies of Wellesley College, at Mile 13. Figured he’d walk to Wellesley and look for a ride home.
But Dave’s wife told him if he wanted to walk the rest of the way, she’d wait for him. So he did, finishing his fifth Boston Marathon in 4:38 - almost a full 90 minutes slower than his qualifying time.
"I settled into a slow painful run, limp-hobble that resembled Terry Fox’s gait and I just thought that this could be worse and battled through it," Dave said.
"Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the whole run despite the injury."
The story of the hip, and the mid-race beer, were the talk around Dave’s running club. In Natick, it was a fun story between the Bianchis, and the Langans, and those who were there that day. If nothing else, it helped erase some of the lingering feelings from 2013.
“This was the cure,” Langan said.
“It was a way to bring back into reality what the race means, to feel the runners’ joy and happiness.”
With the 2015 Boston Marathon approaching, Dave was suffering through another injury, one that made it a 50/50 proposition that he’d be able to run full speed in Boston. Dave began thinking back to 2014, and that beer. All he had was a photo taken somewhere along the course, but it was enough to pique his interest. He studied the photo, then searched Google Maps to find a house somewhere along West Central that looked like the one where he stopped. He found the address, and with no idea who lived there, he wrote a letter addressed to “My Boston Beer Buddy, 84 W Central St, Natick MA 01760.”
“I’m coming back and hope you’re out there cheering again…I’m hoping to enjoy another beer with you.”
Danny Langan was at the Boston Red Sox game on Opening Day when he got a text message from his wife.
“Wait til you get home - you should see this letter.”
The letter had arrived at the Bianchi house. Annalyse Bianchi told Danny’s wife Carolyn ”your husband got a letter at my house. Remember the Canadian runner?”
“It was the coolest story ever,” Danny said.
“Nobody’s looking for a'thank you' but it was really genuine. It made an impression on me and whole community.”
So Danny did what everyone does these days: he found Dave on Facebook. Told him they’d received the letter, and of course, stop by again this year! And then he spread the word with his friends, and neighbors. Dave said he’d stop by for a wave if things are going well, and a little longer if they weren’t.
When Dave started the marathon on Monday, things were going much better. His new injury was holding off, and he was having a much better race. In fact, he was on pace to requalify for next year's Boston Marathon.
But he had a date to keep first. So he kept his eyes out on West Central Street, for the house he'd run past many times but had seen only once before, the house that was now etched in his memory. He found the Bianchi house, and he found Danny, and he caught him by surprise - Dave's timing chip misfired on Monday, so nobody knew where he was on the course. A huge crowd of people was waiting to cheer Dave on. Danny's kids had signs, and total strangers knew Dave's name and cheered. Danny had a cooler full of Sam Adams beer, emblematic of the Boston hospitality Dave had enjoyed the year before. They shared a drink, and took another photo. And off Dave went, with what seemed like the whole town of Natick behind him, cheering him on to another Boston qualifying time.
Sometimes, the best-laid plans go awry. Danny had arranged for “Friends of Danny’s” signs all along the course - at the Neville's house a mile down the road, at Danny’s mother’s house in Newton, at Danny’s brother’s father-in-law’s house near the Wellesley Hospital. All of them cheering Dave on, all of them, Danny said, signifying one thing for their adopted Canadian runner:
“If you need anything, here’s a place to stop.”
But the stupid timing chip didn't work, so they couldn't track Dave's progress, and they couldn't tell when he'd be arriving. So the Nevilles didn't know when he ran past, and Dave didn't know he was supposed to be looking for them. But on this day, Dave didn't need to stop. Knowing all of these people were there carried him through Natick, through Newton, through the whole damn race.
"I really enjoyed the whole day knowing the support was there," Dave said after the race.
"Even after I left them behind I was still pumped. I thought of them a lot the rest of the way and also fed off the crowd thinking, if they're so nice, I bet all of these people are nice too. Such a great crowd of cheers the whole way."
His injury held up; he was slowed late in the race by stomach problems, of all things. It wasn't a personal best by any means, but he ran the 2015 Boston Marathon in 3:38.
Not bad for a guy with a bad hip, a guy who stopped halfway through the race to have a beer and to catch up with an old friend.

Welcome to the first week of our challenge! Remember this isn't just about cleaning things up, it's about getting rid of all the things you aren't using and don't really need that are causing clutter in your life.
To be prepared for this challenge you should have boxes for donation and "get-rid-of" items plus bags for trash. I also recommend reading through the book Simpler Living as we work through this challenge. If you have the book this week you will want to read through chapter 8.
This first week we are going to start by going through any kids rooms you have. And if you don't have any kids at home, don't think you are off the hook! This week you will clean out a spare bedroom instead. Remember that this challenge isn't just about cleaning things up, it's a serious cleanout of things that you don't really need anymore or don't use.
I'll be posting again in a few days so we can share our cleaning accomplishments (aka: how many bags of trash you cleaned out, how many boxes of things you are getting rid of).
What are the biggest challenges you will have cleaning out the kids rooms this week?

To design and plan for smart cities we must have platforms that support the leveraging of intelligence and wisdom from a diverse set of stakeholders, sometimes referred to as "the crowd." Towards this end, it is important for designers and planners to understand how to construct, and manage participatory platforms. Simply put, participatory platforms can be seen as canvases that allow individuals to share their ideas, interact with other's ideas, and work towards collaborative solutions to resolve problems or take advantage of opportunities. While the concept of tapping collective knowledge is not new -- think about the traditional town hall meetings or the various committee forums -- today we can take advantage of technologies to design participatory platforms that bridge space and time constraints.
New technologies afford us not only the capacity to include more people, and more diverse sets of people, but also allow us to more deeply immerse ourselves in the design and planning elements. Consider simulation and modeling technologies, which allow us to visualize projects, study the emergence of interactions among various elements of a plan and system, and engage citizens by allowing them to participate in an immersive environment.
Let's look at Crowdsourced Moscow 2012, a public space game that simulates a virtual world resembling the City of Moscow, as one such example. A major issue facing Moscow today is the lack of public platforms for people to interact with each other. There are few avenues for people to discuss what they want in the city and convey this to the government agencies. Crowdsourced Moscow allows citizens to interact with a simulated model of Moscow consisting of several types of virtual agents like residents, city administrators, architects, and developers. Through the game, citizens understand the objectives, incentives, and values of each group of citizens (e.g. residents versus architects) and have to negotiate them to arrive at robust solutions for city problems. Some of these problems include the proposed construction of parking at Pushkin Square and the proposed demolition of the Peter I statue on Botony Island.
Over the last two years, and especially over the past six months since taking the helm as the Director of the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech, I have been investigating the nature of participatory platforms and their relevance, value, and impact on the future of design and planning. Leveraging the intelligence of crowds in the design and planning of installations (e.g. buildings), systems, and even large ensembles (e.g. cities) is a non-trivial task. Planners need to learn how to orchestrate participation on these platforms so as to arrive at plans that are representative of community needs and within scope, budget, and resource constraints. Failure to achieve this will result in plans that fall prey to the foolishness or the rowdiness of crowds. Here are five simple guidelines to consider:
Consider an example of leveraging the crowd: The City of Calgary has taken steps to open up its budget process with a citywide engagement platform. In 2011, the City initiated a citywide engagement process -- "Our City. Our Budget. Our Future." -- to draft their three-year budget, by creating an online platform to share information and collect feedback. The City sought to address three main goals through this engagement technique: To simplify how the city reports the budget to the public, to create a space for the public to get that information and lastly, to hopefully inspire some good ideas to reform the budget. Through the platform, the City invited a quasi-crowdsourcing of its budget, and collected comments from approximately 24,000 citizens to help guide the formation of their budget. While the City did not adopt all the ideas collected during the seven-month engagement period, the input was valuable as a means of informing the government of citizen perspectives.
Although not the main goal of the engagement process, technological innovation played a major role in presenting the data, helping citizens to understand, and informatively interact with the budget. The online platform provided citizens with a budget-making tool, permitting them to view each department's expenditures and display the results of any adjustments to a department's budget. For example, the participants could see directly how a budget cut to the Parks and Recreation department would eliminate a number of programs. Through the use of this interactive tool, the resulting citizen comments were more informed and nuanced, and carried new weight with policy-makers. For the City of Calgary, it wasn't just about the data or the process; it was about both. In this case providing the data alone weren't enough to truly open the process and engage citizens. The online platform and tools were irreplaceable to their process of citywide engagement.
Thinking through these various facets is critical if you are to build a participatory platform that is robust and engaging. The critical focus of the participatory platform is to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaborative engagements around ideas. (For those interested in the dynamics of managing ideas within organizations, which can easily be applied to participatory platforms in the design and planning space, see Intrapreneurship: Managing Ideas within Your Organization (University of Toronto Press, 2011), especially the chapters four and six.)
Why is empathy important when we think of design and planning efforts? Simply put, without empathy, each stakeholder will be designing solutions that are not in congruence with the other's reality. Moreover, goodwill and a sense of community will be absent, as each stakeholder will view the other as the adversary, rather than a trusted partner. This will result in each one seeking to maximize their own objectives, at the expense of the overall goal of the project.
Participatory platforms that build empathetic connections among stakeholders do so in two important ways. First, they support the building of social ties between the various stakeholders by employing social networking technologies that build a sense of similarity among individuals participating. At the most basic level this involves having profile pages, where people can share details about their context (e.g. information on who they are, what are their interests, goals, etc.) and allow others to connect with them. Second, these platforms often support the exchange of rich media. Through promoting the sharing of videos, for example, individuals can see (and sometimes, even feel) the criticality of the issue, solution, viewpoint that is being expressed, better so than through simple text exchanges on an online discussion board. Ultimately, a focus on empathy-centric design of participatory platforms will lead to the creation of a viable collaborative space where collective intelligence can be creatively leveraged towards tackling complex problems.
I end this feature with a concluding example that highlights the potential of participatory platforms for leveraging wisdom of crowds in planning and designing smarter cities. Instead of relying on a small cohort of ‘experts' to interpret citizen needs and desires, citizens themselves develop and even implement solutions to urban issues.
In 2011, Birmingham, Alabama sponsored a competition for ideas to transform a portion of the city. The Prize2theFuture competition inspired over 1,000 teams from 39 countries to submit ideas for revitalizing a vacant area of downtown. Instead of hiring in a handful of developers, the city opened the process to the whole of the world and invited their visions for a crucial corner of their city. The $13 million assembled for the event and the subsequent development was gathered by into a Community Catalyst fund, notably from 54 new donors. The winning submission, One Birmingham Place, was a design that embraced the culture of social media and digital communication, with an iLab (an open-access computer lab), a Center for Modern Communication, a public display screen, and a theater.
The future of design and planning is certain to be around participatory platforms, designers and planners should embrace these platforms and leverage their potential towards designing smart(er) cities through open, inclusive, and collaborative approaches.

The Book of Lost Things
Recommended for: readers interested in dark fairy tale retellings
Macabre (adj,noun). From the French Danse Macabre.
1. Characterized by or suggestive of the gruesomeness of the danse macabre; grim, horrific, repulsive, bizarre, grotesque.
2. The Book of Lost Things.
The Book of Lost Things is what you might get if you locked Neil Gaiman and Guillermo del Toro into a dank, windowless room, forced them to read through the complete output of Andrew Lang, Charles Perrault, and the Brothers Grimm, and then told them to rewrite The Chronicles of Narnia.
David, a young boy resentful of his father's remarriage and his new baby brother, slips through a doorway into another world where he discovers a kingdom full of talking animals and fantastical creatures and ruled by humans from his world. When the doorway back into his world snaps shut behind him, David is forced onto a quest to find the king of the land so that, by consulting the king's Book of Lost Things, David can find his way home. But this world is not Narnia: the talking animals prefer ripping out throats to tea-making, and there is no golden lion ready to come to David's rescue.
The prose itself is in a style I tend to think of as "overwritten," where not a single moral or thought is left to reader inference. Instead, we're told what the character is thinking--usually twice, just in case you missed it the first time. Then one character tells another, so everyone knows exactly what's going on inside everyone else's head. Then the conversation and thought process is summarized just in case you hadn't bothered to read the dialogue or preceding paragraphs. Just in case you can't decide moral issues for yourself, physical appearance encodes it: deformity, obesity, and female sexual beauty imply wickedness; simplicity and masculine beauty indicate morality. I'm not particularly fond of this style itself, but I actually think it may be an entirely intentional and extremely successful attempt to capture the rather overwrought, simplified style of nineteenth century childrens' stories. It certainly captures an almost Dickensonian ambiance--except for the actual events of the story, of course.
My library puts this book in the children's section. I don't agree. Of course, to quote (I think) Agatha Christie, children are "bloodthirsty little beasts," but the sheer variety and excess of Nightmare Fuel exhibited here would probably send an imaginative child into terminal insomnia. Some of the horror of the book stems from adult knowledge--for instance, when it is intimated that one of the characters is a pedophile--but the graphic violence is clearly and simply stated and easily pictured by a young child. A few choice examples include children who are cut apart and stitched onto animals, men impaled upon thorns that suck out their life essences, a museum of hideously contorted dead bodies, a man forced to drink molten gold until his internal organs essentially melted, children with their souls kept in jars, and women who are raped by wolves. I don't know about you, but I'd characterize that as "not quite appropriate" for young children.
Other than the sheer imaginativeness of the creatures and world, the power of the story stems from its gruesome and sometimes comedic twists on archetypical fantasy plots. The strange mixture of childish tone and adult content reminded me strongly of the Sonheim musical, "Into the Woods." Like the musical, The Book of Lost Things invokes the childish fears, especially the fear of the unknown, manifested in the hidden depths of the dark, hushed, twisting paths of the woods. Like "Into the Woods," the forest is populated with creatures from fractured fairy tales: a selfish, grasping Snow White who practically enslaves the (socialist and oppressed) dwarves, a Daphne-like huntress who creates the beasts she hunts by fusing animals and children, the gallant knight who is suspected of unspeakable perversions, the ancient and venerable king whose wisdom is merely a front, and an absoutely nightmarish recreation of Rumplestiltskin. Each figure that David meets in the woods is a story archetype: the wise father figure of the huntsman, the trickster antagonist, the wolves who seek to become men, even the quest into the unknown of the woods.
The twisted retelling of fairy tales is certainly not an original conception, but The Book of Lost Things stands out for the way it weaves standard fairy tale motifs together with a fantastic and grotesque imagination to create an entirely unique story.

Was the student walkout staged? Sponsored?
Mar 14, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 6:55 pm
Edward Woodson Guest Hosts for Joe Messina
“Students of the United States” threaten Congress saying if they don’t get what they want, aka gun control, Congress will play dearly at the ballot box. Newsflash… you can’t VOTE!
Baltimore city schools is in financial trouble. But they had no trouble helping the kids walk out of class. Would they have been as helpful if the kids wanted to do a pro-life demonstration?
Why couldn’t the kids do the demonstration after school at 3:00?? Would as many kids have participated? Kids are always looking for an excuse to miss school.
Some of the student protests against gun violence turned violent. Isn’t this why we actually NEED guns??
11 people die per day in car accidents because of cell phone use. We should take away all the cell phones and raise the age for driving a cars, right? It’s WAY more than die due to gun violence.
Shaq running for Sheriff in Georgia? Yep.
Katy Perry gets in on the #MeToo movement on American Idol kissing a young contestant without his consent.
If you haven’t heard of him yet, you soon will. As a Lawyer, Investor, Actor, Model and Entrepreneur, Edward has the perfect eclectic blend of experience, insight, humor and laid back attitude that is quickly making him our days most unique voice for exposing the naked truth of the everyday crisis-mongering of politicians and their media minions.

BCB includes Shafiul, Ebadat for New Zealand tour
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday included Shafiul Islam and uncapped pacer Ebadat Hossain for the Tigers' tour of New Zealand.
While Shaful has been included in the ODI side, Ebadat earned a maiden call to the Test squad, according to a BCB media statement.
Shafiul last played for the Tigers in an ODI back in 2016 against England in Chattogram. He has a moderate record with 63 wickets in 56 matches with the best bowling figure of four for 21 against Ireland in the 2011 World Cup.
On the other hand, Ebadat, a right-arm medium pacer, has played 19 First-class matches and took 59 wickets registering the best figures of taking six wickets conceding 51 runs. He has also recorded the best bowling figures in a single First-class match taking 10 wickets conceding 139 runs.
Shafiul has been performing well for the defending champions of the ongoing season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). He took 15 wickets in 12 matches for the Rangpur Riders. Ebadat played four matches for Sylhet Sixers and took five wickets.
Shafiul and Ebadat got the chance to be included in the New Zealand tour thanks to an ankle injury of Taskin Ahmed.
BCB sources said Taskin would need at least four weeks to recover. This means, he will be available after February 20 when Bangladesh will finish their ODI series against the Kiwis.
Bangladesh ODI squad for New Zealand tour: Masrafe Bin Mortaza (Captain), Shakib Al Hasan (Vice-Captain), Tamim Iqbal Khan, Liton Kumar Das, Soumya Sarker, Mushfiqur Rahim, Md Mithun, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Md Shaifuddin, Nayeem Hasan, Shafiul Islam.

10th Month of ttc.
Fertility test results back on Thursday, in the meantime...
Since having implanonn out 10 months ago period has been irregular (did not show whilst implanon was in), cycles have been long (31 - 35 days). Period generally 6 or 7 days but in the last 2 or 3 months it's only been 4 or 5 days.
Also, last couple of months the maybe baby ovulation test (saliva test) depicted that my 'o' day was quite late in the cycle. 21st/23rd day. My last period started on 24th Feb and lasted 4 days. So far the test has not given me any indication of 'o' day yet.
In the last 4 or 5 weeks I've felt bloated, have put on weight, feel hungry more often and feel a little sick if I havn't eaten for a while.
Does this sound like PCOS? Possible to be pregnant? Anyone want to speculate with me whilst I wait for the real results?

When an unnamed media outlet placed Dr. Scott Stripling, the provost at The Bible Seminary in Katy (Houston), Texas and the Director of Excavations for the Associates for Biblical Research, “outside the mainstream” of Israeli archeological thought because he believes the Bible is the literal word of God, he took the description as a compliment.
“I can’t remember where it was, but the report said that “while Stripling and his team do vigorous scientific archeology, they lie outside the mainstream of Israeli archeological because they take the Bible as a serious text.
“I think they meant it as a pejorative, but I agreed with every word, Yes, I’m guilty as charged – we’re doing serious archeological research and yes, we take the bible as a serious text,” Stripling told TPS.
Walking around the the excavation site at Ancient Shilo, where the Prophet Joshua is said to have set up the Tabernacle after conquering the promised land and where it remained for 369 years, it is clear that for Stripling, who is also an ordained minister with an infectious smile and chiseled features honed from years of digging, the overlap of his scientific and Biblical expertise have come to reinforce one-another. While there is no concrete evidence of the elusive Ark of the Covenant or the Tabernacle, he says the findings all around the site give clear indication of an ancient civilisation here, complete with remnants of sacrificial norms that would reinforce the Biblical narrative.
“Just behind us, in our area D is a massive bone deposit with bones only from the biblical sacrificial system full of Late Bronze Age pottery with restorable vessels… so very very clearly this was a sacrificial site,” Stripling said during a tour of the site. “And the ruins we’ve unearthed on the south side were built by the Christians in the 5th century. They clearly believed that something significant had occurred here.”
Even more significant, he says, is the northern gate, which he says was likely to serve as a port to bring water from a nearby spring and which contains imagery and remnants of Biblical fruits such as pomegranate. After digging for 20 years at Khirbet el-Maqatir, about 15 kilometres to the south, Stripling and his dig team began to unearth and study the current site last year, and will continue at least until 2023.
“We’re exposing the outside of the ancient wall, the fortification wall that went all the way around the site. The top of it, and then the inside of it. On the outside, we have a glacis, an earthen embankment that protects the wall from foreign invasion. On the top of it we have early Roman/ Early Second Temple structures built into it because it’s a very large wall, five and a half meters wide.
“On the inside we have storage rooms and interior buildings where people stored grains, figs, barleys. When people (came) to Shilo, they wanted to give their tithe, and that meant commodity. So (you’ve got evidence of) sacrifice, also of commodity.
“For more than three centuries, this is the center of Israelite life,” he said.
Asked how long ancient Shilo was inhabited, Stripling flips easily between Biblical references to the era of the Judges and archeological references to the Iron, Byzantine and Canaanite periods.
“In an archeological tel the deeper you dig the older the material is. Walking here you really are suspended in time – when we dig you’ve got the Islamic period, Byzantine, Early Roman (late Second Temple), Hellenistic, Persian, which is the Iron II (Age), which is the period of the Kings, Tabernacle), then back to Canaanite/Amorite period.
“(So I’d say the site is) likely to have been inhabited for most of the past 4,000 years, from the Amorite Period (c.1750-1800 BCE) almost continuously to medieval times, about 500 years ago).
Ultimately, Stripling said that while the Biblical narrative cannot be proved beyond a scientific doubt, he added that his findings at the site, as well as at other dig sites he has overseen around Judea and Samaria, has served only to strengthen his belief that the Biblical story is historically accurate. That view has led on occasion to professional disagreements with local colleagues – he was “stunned” several years ago when a PhD student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said that he had been the first archeologist that had ever mentioned the Bible to them.
Nevertheless, Stripling is not intimidated by the charge that he is outside the mainstream.
“The most basic of all human questions that people of all cultures and all socio-economic strata have is ‘how do I connect with God,’ ‘how do I bridge that gap between us when we fracture our relationships and between God. Sacrifice provides a means by which we can recover broken relationships.
“So if we seem a little outside the mainstream – then fine! Then the mainstream needs to shift.”
