Missoula Rural Fire officials tell NBC Montana that the district’s Board of Trustees has unanimously agreed to submit a measure on a May 6 ballot that would increase the district’s mill levy by 10.04 mills. That means the district would raise roughly $440,766 a year.
A homeowner with a $100,000 property would see their taxes increase by roughly $13.
Missoula Rural Fire Chief Bill Colwell says the money would be used to retain the employment of six EMT-firefighters hired in 2012 with a federal grant. The grant is a 2-year program that comes to an end on September 30.
“It's essential to arrive at the scene in a timely fashion and also to arrive at the scene of an emergency with enough people to do intervention on the initial arrival,” said Colwell.
The Missoula Rural Fire District operates as a mixture of volunteer and career firefighters.
“Part of what this mill levy does is maintain in my outlying stations that I have two people on duty during those peak call hours, and then in the evening it guarantees I have one career person on duty,” said Colwell.
Not everyone in the district’s coverage area may be up for the increased taxes. In 2007, voters rejected an attempt at a mill levy increase. Fire officials attribute the rejection partly due to economic hardships in the community.
“The second time we ran it the community, the country had gone through significant financial downfall, and that time we lost by a significant amount,” said Colwell.
Colwell says if the new mill levy increase does not pass, the District will need to reduce the number of career EMT-firefighters at every one of the district’s stations. That would include Station 1 on South Ave West in Missoula.
District voters last approved a mill levy increase in 1992.

Mental Blockades and What to Do About Them
Mental Blockades and What to Do About Them
Have you ever had that feeling of not being able to finish the project you’re working on? Or not being able to even start? If you do, don’t worry, as you’re not the only one. This is something that happens to virtually everyone, and there are many reasons for it.
Here’s a scenario that’s probably familiar to you: You sit at your desk and you’re looking to study/work, when all of a sudden you realize that you need to wipe the table, drink some water, and check Instagram to see what’s new. After you do all that, you feel like going to the toilet, checking your phone again, and doing pretty much anything to avoid working.
If this happens to you, you’re facing a mental blockade. There are many reasons why this can occur. To help you understand them, let’s go over the most common ones, followed by some solutions.
1. You’re Feeling Overwhelmed
Let’s say you have this huge paper to write. You know that you need to start but simply can’t, so you keep staring at the screen hoping that it will start writing itself. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen, so you’re left not knowing where to start.
The most common reason behind this is feeling overwhelmed. You know that you have this huge task, so your brain automatically tells you that it’s too much. As a result, you keep procrastinating, and likely postpone your work until panic kicks in.
The Solution: Break Down Your Work
The reason why you’re feeling overwhelmed is because your mind thinks in advance. It sees this huge project that is seemingly impossible to finish. If you break your project down into smaller tasks, it will seem much more workable.
If you have to study, take it one page at a time. There’s no point in counting the total number of pages, since you have to do it whether you count them or not. To prevent yourself from getting paralyzed by a huge project, simply think of it as a number of smaller ones and you’ll see how much easier it gets.
2. Your Environment is Messy
If you’re not the type of person who keeps things organized, you might all of a sudden decide to do just that. The reason behind this is that our minds respond to our surrounding, so having a messy desk can prevent you from working.
As much as messiness can help improve creativity, it also causes a lack of mental discipline. This results in procrastination, frustration, and eventually giving up on the task, or at least making it much harder to start and finish.
The Solution: Find the Best Organizing Method
Keeping your work environment organized is a proven way of increasing productivity. If your desk is organized, there will be fewer distractions to your brain, so you’ll be able to focus on your task better.
It would also be a good idea to change your environment completely. If you feel like you’re not able to study or work at home, go to a library, or a coffee shop. The change of scenery will refresh your mind, so you’ll be able to work more productively.
3. You’re Afraid of Failure
Completing a project can be exceptionally hard if you’re afraid of failing. Due to our mind’s negativity bias, we’re far more likely to expect a negative outcome than a positive one. This leads to frustration and fear; it’s a total productivity killer.
If this is the case with you, you’re likely forming mental pictures of yourself failing, which results in a total loss of motivation. If you keep thinking like this, you’re basically setting yourself up for failure.
The Solution: Replace the ‘What If’s’ with ‘So What’s’
It takes time to rewire the brain to stop expecting negative outcomes, but it’s certainly doable. What you need to do is challenge your negative thoughts and transform them into positive ones. Instead of being afraid of failure, understand that you can’t predict the future and just do your best to prevent it from happening.
Think about the worst thing that can happen. There’s a high chance that it’s not as bad as you made it out to be. Even if it is, you’ll be able to see or come up with a solution, so there’s no need to worry.
And even if there isn’t a solution, no amount of worrying can fix that, so again, worrying serves no purpose. Learn how to think positively, and you’ll be far more capable of overcoming your mental blockade.
4. You Get Too Caught Up In Your Task
This often happens with students and people who are static and spend a lot of their time behind the desk. The monotony of doing the same thing over and over again discourages you from completing your tasks.
There’s too much pent-up energy, which results in agitation and a loss of interest in the work ahead of you. When this happens, it seems impossible to motivate yourself to start working, and you feel even worse because you’re not doing anything.
The Solution: Break a Sweat
The best way to overcome this type of mental blockade is to get moving. There is proof that exercising can significantly increase your productivity. You can go for a run, do some aerobic exercise, or anything that you think you’ll enjoy.
This will release the negative energy that’s inside you and help you clear your mind of negative thoughts. As a result, it will be much easier to tackle the work in front of you, not to mention you’ll feel much better.
As you can see, there are many causes of mental blockades. Depending on which one applies to you, you can choose between many solutions that can help you overcome it. The first step is to identify the cause.
Once you’ve done that, think about what you can do to get over the blockade. This will take some trial and error. However, as you keep practicing, you’ll be able to strengthen your mind and overcome mental blockades in the long run.

7 car launches for October 2015 – IAB Picks
Posted on: Oct 5, 2015 - 11:34am IST
The month of October will have at least 7 car launches, spread throughout affordable hatchbacks, hot-hatches and MPVs, to performance SUVs, luxury SUVs and even mid-size SUVs. Below is a list of cars confirmed to launch in India this month:
1. BMW X5M and BMW X6M:
BMW India have confirmed the launches of the X5M and the X6M for October 15. These SUVs will be powered by the 4.4-liter V8 TwinPower Turbo engine developing 575 hp and 750 Nm of torque. Both SUVs will do the run from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and hit a top-speed of 250 km/h.
2. Fiat Abarth Punto:
With a 0-100 km/h time of 8.8 seconds, the Abarth Punto will be the quickest non-luxury hatchback in India, when it goes on sale this month. Dealers of FCA India have started accepting bookings for the Abarth Punto for INR 50,000. Initial demo and display units have also started making their way into showrooms ahead of launch.
3. Chevrolet Trailblazer:
GM India has confirmed that the Trailblazer will be launched in October. Powered by a 2.8-liter Duramax DOHC diesel engine capable of 200 hp and 500 Nm of torque, the Trailblazer for the Indian market will likely be offered only in 2WD with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
4. Maruti Ertiga facelift:
According to reports, the Maruti Ertiga facelift will be introduced on October 10. Apart from several cosmetic changes, the Ertiga facelift for India also gets a driver airbag as standard, whereas dual front airbags are offered from the L (O) variant onwards. The Ertiga facelift is also expected with the SHVS micro-hybrid system.
5. Maruti Baleno:
Perhaps the most important car to launch this month, the Baleno is Maruti’s answer to the premium hatchback segment composed of the Honda Jazz, VW Polo and the Hyundai Elite i20. The Baleno is expected to launch with a 1.2-liter K-Series petrol paired to a CVT and a 1.3-liter DDiS with the mild-hybrid SHVS technology.
6. Mercedes GLE:
Mercedes-Benz India will launch the GLE, the facelifted M Class, on October 14. While the GLE comes with a host of cosmetic revisions, inside and outside, the highlight of the launch is the debut of Mercedes’s 9-speed 9G-TRONIC gearbox in India. Internationally, this gearbox made its debut on the E Class at the 2013 edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Keeping databases cleansed so that they contain the most accurate and up to date records has always been important. Whilst it may be a labour intensive process the rewards make it wholly worthwhile, adding significant value to your marketing efforts and the understanding of your customers, or potential customers.
Data cleansing is about more than good housekeeping, removing duplicate or obsolete data and correcting inaccurate information. In today’s climate of data protection and financial pressure on marketing budgets the necessity for cleansed and accurate information is greater than ever. Here are just some of the important reasons to ensure your data is sufficiently cleansed.
Benefits of Data Cleansing:
• There are myriad financial benefits to cleansing your databases, not only will such activities stop you wasting money on storing old or obsolete data, but the improved accuracy can result in greater return on investment for your marketing activities.
• This greater accuracy in terms assists in your target profiling, meaning that your marketing campaigns will be more focussed, relevant and subsequently more likely to be successful. Understandably, using obsolete data for your targeting activities will only lead to misdirected campaigns.
• Storing old information can actually harm your brand image and customer perception. For instance, if you are consistently sending marketing literature to old addresses, customers that may have died or opted out of receiving promotional material, your efforts are actually helping to create a wider negative image, rather than return on investment.
• In modern business the Data Protection Act should always be a consideration, particularly in regards to the storage of personal information, where failure to cleanse can actually result in non-compliance. Subsequently, cleansing activities are necessary to eliminate any chances of breaching the Data Protection Act and hence any financial penalties.
• Finally, improving the quality of you data results in improved customer insight and adds considerable value to your marketing efforts by improving ROI.
These are just some of the reasons to undertake data cleansing, however, as a business it should be remembered that the process is ongoing, databases require practically constant management and cleansing to ensure they contain, up to date, accurate and valuable information.

Many of you have asked me about this jean jacket. I’ve had this jacket for about 3 years now and It was time to oomph it up a little bit. So I grabbed some sandpaper, red spray paint and got creative!
First, I took the sand paper and started rubbing it on the elbows to get the holes I desired. You have to be very patient while doing this step since it takes time to wear down the denim fibres in order to create the rips.
Next, I took some red spray paint and wrote “LA” (my initials) on the back. To get the splattered effect, I sprayed the jacket lightly from a distance & there you have it!

Though January marks the start of the calendar year, Aries represents the start of the zodiac — and for the astrologically-inclined, that is every bit as significant. Those born March 21 through April 19 fall under this sign, and are traditionally known to be bold, ambitious, unswerving, and passionate. Aries are natural born leaders, and as a fire sign are often impulsive and short-tempered.
From Lady Gaga to Chance the Rapper, we've rounded up all of the celebrities that you didn't realize were Aries (though you definitely admired their passion and ambition).
The "Berlin Station" actress was born April 19.

There still aren’t enough black professors, despite university transformation attempts
Three out of four professors at four of the country’s top universities remain white despite plans to increase the number of black educators in the professoriate.
At a fifth higher education institution, Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape, 45 professors and a further two distinguished professors are white while just one, distinguished professor Tebello Nyokong, is black. There are no coloured or Indian professors at Rhodes.
While 71.4% of professors at 13 universities are white, only 9.8% are black, 6.6% Indian and 3.1% coloured. An additional 188 professors at the 13 universities are other nationalities. Figures supplied to the Mail & Guardian by these universities this week reveals a similar demographic profile for associate professors, with 62.7% white and 14% black.
Institutions with the highest percentage of white professors include:
- Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University: 84.7%
- North West University: 83.8%
- Stellenbosch University: 80.8%
- University of the Witwatersrand: 75%.
According to figures supplied by the 13 universities, the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and the University of Zululand were the only institutions where black professors outnumbered their white counterparts.
At least 30 of TUT’s professors are black compared with 24 who are white, while there are nine black professors at the University of Zululand compared with six white professors.
The Council on Higher Education released a publication this year – titled South African Higher Education Reviewed: Two Decades of Democracy – that says statistics on the profile of academic staff showed the situation was not yet reflective of the demographics of the country.
According to the council’s publication, 14% of professors and 19% of associate professors in 2012 were black compared with 10% and 14% respectively in 2008.
Rhodes University said the attainment of the rank of associate or full professor took many years and that, through funding from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation, they were able “to support and accelerate” the development of professors.
The university said it had targeted eight staff from the humanities faculty this year who were either at associate professor or senior lecturer level.
“The aim is to see them promoted to full professor or, in the case of current senior lecturers, to associate professors.”
It said deans of all faculties had been required to develop faculty transformation plans outlining how they were going to transform their staff complement.
Wits spokesperson Shirona Patel pointed out that the university’s senate and council had approved a budget of R45-million for, among other things, setting up a committee to make appointments and allocate grants so that black and coloured academics could apply for promotion to the professoriate.
It had already awarded grants worth R3.2-million to academics across five faculties.
“The transformation steering committee is responsible for monitoring progress on this front and for advising on policy on this strategy,” read a Wits statement.
The university said it had already appointed 11 academics of colour, including five in the faculty of health sciences and two each in humanities, the faculty of commerce, law and management and the faculty of engineering and the built environment.
“We have now entered a phase of head-hunting for more candidates and a call for further applications will be made in the next few weeks,” it said.
The University of Cape Town (UCT) said there was a small pool of mid-level black academics that were available for recruitment to more senior positions in the next five years.
“This becomes more critical at associate professor and professor levels. This challenge, however, is not unique to UCT.”
“UCT has a high staff retention rate, which demonstrates loyalty and continuity for the university. But in terms of transformation, this challenges the ability of the university to achieve employment equity through shifting the demographic profile of its staff. High retention rates restrict movement and a change in the number of staff of all race groups within the university.”
It said the challenge was compounded by a small number of new posts that might become available in the future.
It said the Next Generation Professoriate initiative’s primary goal was to increase the number of black staff in the professoriate and that 34 mid-career academics had been nominated by their faculties to participate in the programme.
Of UCT’s 256 professors, 147 are white while 10 are black, seven coloured, 17 Indian and 69 other nationalities. A further six are of undeclared nationality.
Stellenbosch University said that between 2008 and 2015, R120-million was allocated to attract, appoint and develop black, coloured and Indian staff members at senior levels.
It said nine appointments in phase one and two of the New Generation of Academics Programme, known as nGAP, would contribute to an “internal pipeline” of black, coloured and Indian academics who would be fast-tracked and mentored so they could be promoted to senior levels.
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University said it had established a staff equity development reserve to fund this strategic priority area.
“Deliberate attention is being given to regenerating the necessary ‘people power’ to ensure vibrant new cohorts of academics at various levels, including the professoriate.”
University of Johannesburg spokesperson Herman Esterhuizen said UJ had established the Accelerated Academic Mentorship Programme (AAMP) to develop and prepare a portion of the future cohort of academic staff to take over from those retiring in the next few years.
“Selected candidates receive dedicated mentoring from top academics, many of whom have a research rating from the National Research Foundation,” he said. – mg.co.za

A 'Frankenfish' was caught in central Pa. If you find one, advice is: Fry it up
Nathan Metzger is an outdoor superstar, and now he has the National Honor Roll award to prove it.
After it was recently reported that a 25-inch northern snakehead was caught in a Susquehanna River tributary in Lancaster County, there is newfound “Frankenfish frenzy” among anglers in Pennsylvania.
The northern snakehead, a predatory fish native to Asia, splashed on to the scene in Pennsylvania in 2004 when some were discovered in Philadelphia County.
But how did they get here? They certainly didn’t just swim here from China.
“Snakeheads are considered a delicacy, and they were brought over as live fish for people to then kill and eat,” said Andrew Shiels of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. “People also buy them as pets. So, either people didn’t kill them after buying them at a fish market or emptied their pet tank into the water.”
Given their aggressive nature, northern snakeheads pose numerous threats to native Pennsylvania fish. They are one of the few species that will protect a brood from other fish in order to protect and ensure the survival of the young.
“When you have a species like this, and they're given a chance to reproduce, it’s hard to keep them from spreading, “Shiels said.
If you happen to catch one of these menacing-looking fish, Shiels says to never throw them back into the water. Instead, consider throwing them into a skillet.
“We don’t want people throwing them up on the bank and littering. They should feel good about taking it home and eating it,” Shiels said. “Everything we have heard is that they taste really good.
After you hook a snakehead, you can report in on the Fish and Boat Commission’s website to help track where they are located. There is also a chart that will show the difference between northern snakeheads and native bowfin fish.
“We are concerned about them and there’s not much we can do about it other than encourage people that when they catch a snakehead, they should remove them," Shiels said. “Plus, it’s illegal to possess a live snakehead in Pennsylvania.”

Apple signs deal with Warner Music, remains far apart with Sony Music
Last month, that was talk that negotiations with Sony and Warner were holding back the launch of the service. Now, with Warner in the fold it apparently is all up to Sony to sign on the dotted line to get the music playing. According to those familiar with the negotiations, Apple gave Warner everything on the publishing end that it and other publishers were seeking, which is 10% of ad revenue. That is twice as much as the amount that Pandora pays and could set the the groundwork for new contracts once the current ones expire.
According to insiders, the talks with the music publishers have dealt with royalty rates, a minimum guarantee in case Apple decides not to run ads right away, and a point when ad revenue is split. Apple's deal with Universal covers songs, not publishing, and Apple remains far apart with Sony. Sources say that without inking those two deals, Apple will not launch the service.

Sony would sign when the price is right. In the mean time they should do more high end phone with audiophile audio. Samsung support aptx for all their high end phone.

Heading into the year, it looked like the Nationals would have four fairly obvious qualifying offer recipients: Jordan Zimmermann, Ian Desmond, Doug Fister, and Denard Span. It’s reflective of the team’s overall struggles that only the first of these is a complete slam dunk to receive one now. Despite his forgettable year, Desmond still seems fully worthy as well. But it’s hard to see Fister getting the offer, as $15.8MM for one year probably outstrips his current value on the market.
So what about Span? The center fielder delivered exactly what the Nationals hoped for when they shipped out Alex Meyer to acquire him from the Twins before the 2013 season. He was solid in his first season in D.C. and excellent in 2014, when he slashed .302/.355/.416 and swiped 31 bags over 668 plate appearances. Defensive metrics soured on him somewhat in the second of those campaigns, but he provided outstanding value on his reasonably-priced contract.
This year was more of the same — .301/.365/.431 — but with one glaring exception: Span made only 275 trips to the batter’s box. He recovered quickly enough from offseason sports hernia surgery, missing only about two weeks to start the year. But back and abdominal issues cropped up in the middle of the year, giving way to hip problems, and a late comeback bid proved fleeting. The 31-year-old underwent a hip procedure, ending his season.
The first issue, then, is simply one of health. It’s unclear exactly what kind of recovery timeline should be expected, though certainly we’ve heard no indication that he won’t be ready for the spring. And Span himself recently tweeted that his recovery is progressing well. Regardless of the immediate prognosis, though, there’s some legitimate concern here. The fact that Span struggled with concussions earlier in his career does not help the situation.
While questions about Span’s ability to stay on the field in 2016 do limit his immediate value, though, the bulk of that concern lies in his long-term outlook for teams weighing a multi-year deal. A qualifying offer, of course, only represents a one-year commitment (if accepted), which limits the risk.
True, Span’s health will impact the market assessment that he and his representatives would make in weighing a qualifying offer — i.e., if they don’t foresee an attractive multi-year deal, the QO becomes more attractive. But so long as he remains on track for a more-or-less full 2016 season, Span still seems like an excellent candidate to land a rather high-dollar, multi-year deal in free agency. He and Dexter Fowler arguably represent the only everyday regular center fielders on the market, with Colby Rasmus and Austin Jackson making up their competition.
There’s an argument to be made, then, that the Nats have little risk in extending the QO. There’s no reason not to pick up a draft pick if he’s destined to decline. And we’ve yet to see a single player accept one — even the aging Michael Cuddyer, who declined his offer last year from the Rockies despite coming off of a similarly injury-plagued season. Even if Span did take the $15.8MM, moreover, that might not be a bad result for Washington. Jayson Werth struggled with injuries of his own last year, and Michael Taylor — the presumptive replacement in center — showed both promise and a proclivity to strike out. Both hit from the right side, unlike Span. A left-handed outfielder capable of playing center is a clear target for the Nats, and keeping Span on a one-year commitment (even at that rate) would meet that need and then some. Bringing Taylor on slowly, holding down his arbitration earning power, and limiting the wear and tear on Werth would be nice side benefits.
Of course, there’s a counter-argument to be made here, too. The Nationals have had their share of injury issues over the last several years, and have not always managed to cope when key players went down. And some might disagree that Span would likely turn down the offer; there’s little chance he’ll reach that guarantee over multiple years, and it’s hard to predict how his market would play out — especially if he’s saddled with draft compensation. Is it too great a risk to the club to dangle that much money to an arguably injury-prone player?
Let’s put this one to an up-or-down vote:

A new article in the Harvard Business Review, The Science Of Pep Talks talks about…pep talks, but the three-step process it suggests can also apply to a teacher introducing a lesson to a class.
Here’s an excerpt that illustrates the process using some commentary from former Army General Stanley McChrystal:
It seems to me that those three elements (direction giving, expressions of empathy, and meaning making) make a lot of sense in the classroom.
Later in the article, the author makes another important point with relevance to teachers while talking about what a corporate boss does after giving her “pep talk”:
It’s important to note, however, that Alioto’s instruction, empathy, and meaning making don’t stop when the salespeople file back to their desks. After her speech, she walks the sales floor, talking individually with more than a hundred reps and continuing to employ the different elements from motivating language theory. In one conversation, she talks to a rep about how to more forcefully close an ambivalent prospect. With a salesperson about to call an automobile mechanic, she talks about the specifics of that category. In other conversations, she tries to boost reps’ confidence or emphasize the team’s goals.
Obviously, that’s the kind of follow-up work we teachers need to be doing all the time.
I’m adding this info to:

Discoveries of the Meeting Place
For the first time in the fourteen-year history of the Discoveries of the Meeting Place exhibition, the majority of the artists and curators come from outside the United States.
It is evidence of the continuing and expanding internationalization of the field, as well as the growth of portfolio review programs replicating FotoFest’s Meeting Place in other parts of the world.
These artist portfolio reviews have become a major entry point for mid-career and younger artists entering the professional art world, whether through gallery shows and representation, sales of work to museum collections and collectors, publication of portfolios and books, artist residencies, or commercial opportunities. As the largest, and one of the first, of these portfolio review programs, FotoFest’s biennial Meeting Place is also the most international.
|LEFT: Kyung Duk Kim
CENTER: Brian Berman
RIGHT: Voitech Slama
The Meeting Place is an event charged with creative energy. Almost as much networking and “trading” of ideas and artwork go on informally around the portfolio room as they do at the formal review tables themselves.
The idea of inviting top museum curators, gallery owners, book publishers, magazine editors, photo agency representatives, and collectors to review artist portfolios has proved immensely popular, useful to both artists and curators. After FotoFest was asked to help organize a portfolio review in Beijing, the Meeting Place FotoFest Beijing came together in October 2006. Registration was limited to Chinese artists: of the one thousand Chinese photographers who registered, only 290 artists could be accommodated. An account of the Meeting Place FotoFest Beijing, along with thirty-two artists’ portfolios, is posted on the photo-eye website at www.photoeye.com/fotofestbeijing.
The Meeting Place and its portfolio reviews have existed since the beginning of the FotoFest Biennial. They were designed as an integral part of the Biennial program: a way to open new opportunities for artists to meet influential people who can help their art careers and the development of their work.
The Meeting Place was created and developed by FotoFest co-founders Frederick Baldwin and Wendy Watriss, who are photographers themselves. The program has been refined over the intervening twenty-two years by the FotoFest staff and Art Board in response to the needs and requests of both artists and curators. At FOTOFEST2008, a fourth session of
the Meeting Place was added because of the number of artists asking for space.
Ten years after the first Biennial in 1986, FotoFest inaugurated the first Discoveries of the Meeting Place exhibition at FOTOFEST1996 in Houston. The curatorial process is simple: shortly after each Biennial, FotoFest asks each of ten people who reviewed artists’ work at that year’s Meeting Place to select one artist whose work she/he considered to be a particularly interesting “discovery.” These artists are then asked to show this work in an exhibition in the following Biennial. Over the past twelve years, this Discoveries of the Meeting Place exhibition has seen the rise of many careers. It is an ongoing tribute to the talent of so many artists working with photography today.
The 2008 Discoveries exhibition is enormously varied in the work presented. The ten artists selected for this year’s exhibition were among 329 artists participating in the FOTOFEST2006 portfolio review.* The curators asked to select the work are a distinguished group of equally diverse individuals. They were invited to be Meeting Place reviewers and later curators for this exhibition because they are knowledgeable and experienced in the field of contemporary art and photography. They also have very different perspectives. Each has prepared a curatorial statement, which is published in this catalogue alongside the images of the artists they selected.
The Meeting Place has become an important launching pad for talented people seeking new opportunities to show and expand their artwork. Like the Biennial itself, it is about
creative energy and about building a community of people for whom creative energy is an important part of their lives. It is our hope that this Discoveries exhibition is just the beginning of a long and meaningful career in art-making for its participants.

The unpredictable nature of 2020 has caused many event professionals to reconsider and refine their existing business structures. What worked in 2019 may not have worked this year and, with 2021 just around the corner, it’s an advantageous time to make necessary adjustments to ensure your business is primed and ready for whatever may come.
You might already have your plans in place, or perhaps you’re wondering what you can do to better position your brand for a successful 2021. We spoke with event professionals from across the industry to see how their businesses are changing in the new year in the hopes that their responses will serve as inspiration for anyone questioning their next steps.
Practicing sound financial planning
Michelle Loretta, Founder of Be Sage Consulting, says: “In 2020, it’s become even more apparent that financial strategy and cashflow management can be a game-changer in terms of business survival. It’s become even more important for me to guide my clients into crisis management of their cashflow. The goal is to have pliable plans that can handle swift changes in the economy and the pandemic crisis without devastating my clients’ businesses overnight.”
Exploring new directions
“We’ve seen many of our users offer new packages to try to book business from ‘COVID couples,’” shares Nora Sheils, Co-Founder of Rock Paper Coin. “Those that may want to elope or host a much smaller event in the near future, pushing back their big reception. COVID has made everyone rethink their offerings, their processes, and how to streamline their business.”
Jordan Kentris, Founder and Creative Director for A Good Day, tells his experience: “We’ve had a lot of downtime since COVID started and it’s allowed us space to sit down and evaluate our business and overall services. We’re in the process of expanding our services in the new year to add new lines of business we can cater to. In hindsight, I wish I would have explored these expansions when I had inklings years ago. I would say explore and test early and fast — don’t be afraid of ‘failing fast’ as it’s not a true failure as the expansion/test is a work in progress.”
In a similar fashion, founder of Bubbles & Bowties, Juls Sharpley says: “We've taken on a lot of smaller stuff that we normally wouldn't, but in doing so have found an opportunity to create and sell all-inclusive packages. We've chosen the best of the best to work with and come up with pre-negotiated rates with each of these vendors to give our clients the most value! We are extending the all-inclusive packages into 2021 and are excited at the trend towards booking this, which in a way has bridged the gap between our Event Management packages and Full Service Planning.”
Enhancing the client experience
Aleya Harris, Owner of Flourish Marketing, reveals: “The 2021 service focus for my business will be about integrating upgraded customer service and relationship-building features. With everyone so disconnected because of the pandemic, personal touches that are normally delivered in-person are lost. While I can’t cure the physical effects of the pandemic, I can focus on building up my clients emotionally and mentally so they can feel supported despite social distancing.”
“We took the time during COVID to really speak to our clients,” tells Shannon Tarrant, Founder of WeddingVenueMap.com. “Asking them to complete surveys, have one-on-one meetings, and provide feedback to clarify how we could be of better service. The information was so valuable to change the services we are offering in the new year. Options like extended monthly auto-charge payment plans and packages that may cost more but include greater value were just two of the shifts that are on the horizon.”
Adjusting pricing structures
“We’re looking at an increase in delivery fees to our B2B clients—not because we are looking to increase profit markets, but because we must adjust to cover the costs,” explains Lisa Anhaiser, founder of LBL Event Rentals. “Our delivery and pickup prices to our B2B partners were based on regular deliveries and routes. The reduction in standard orders, current closures, and unclear future will make it necessary for companies to cover expenses on an individual basis instead of a shared cost basis.”
Building new partnerships
Kristin Wilson, Owner and CEO of Our DJ Rocks, says: “One of the things we did was partner with local creatives to not only increase our packages with the products and services we offer, but also include theirs. For example, if a couple books us for DJ, lighting, and a photo booth, we can now offer additional upgrades like LED-lit dance floors, LED-drapes, custom backdrops and facades, as well as livestreaming services. We’ve already had great feedback from clients who like the ability to get all of these services from one company, as well as from our partners that now have another way to get more events.”
Change can be a good thing for your business, especially when it helps you to better adapt with ever-evolving market demands. The key to positive change is to be proactive and begin planning your next moves well in advance, so you can hit the ground running when the new year comes around.

On this mailing list (and most others), please 'bottom post' (put your
reply after the text). See
http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List_etiquette for more info.
If by DTV you mean DVB, you could try installing the v4l-dvb stuff from
http://www.linuxtv.org/ after upgrading Ubuntu, as that often fixes things.

Video: The Skilled Workers Behind the Green Line
As Minnesotans finally get to enjoy the Green Line, the construction workers who built it are basking in the satisfaction of a job well done. All told, Green Line construction created thousands of jobs, launching hundreds of new careers in several skilled construction roles.
The women and men who laid the track, poured the concrete, and constructed the stations are looking toward their next jobs, and looking to grow their ranks to meet the need of a growing economy and our legislature's strong investment in Minnesota's infrastructure. Minnesota's Laborers have proven they have the skills to build complex transportation projects. The real question is: what should we ask them to build next?

By Karen Lynch | American Express Credit Intel Freelance Contributor
6 Min Read | June 26, 2020 in Life
Most Americans spend thousands of dollars on health insurance every year—not to mention deductibles, copays, and other out-of-pocket costs. The health care tax credit, which is officially known as the premium tax credit (since the money you pay for insurance is called a premium), can ease the financial burden of health insurance for many of the people who need it most.
The health care tax credit helps eligible individuals and families with low to lower-middle income afford health insurance purchased through public health insurance marketplaces. Savings from health care tax credits also can reach thousands of dollars per year for those who qualify. Sometimes, the tax credits may cover the entire cost of insurance.1 The credit was created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA), which rolled out health insurance marketplaces across the country for people to comparison shop and enroll in insurance policies.
But understanding the health care tax credit—which mixes insurance, tax, and policy considerations—can be challenging. This primer unpacks the credit’s requirements, benefits, and current status.
Until recently, you could only qualify for a health care tax credit if you buy insurance on a federal or state marketplace (also known as an exchange) and have a low to lower-middle income. Nearly 14 million Americans were enrolled in public health insurance marketplaces in 2019.2 But recent U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that private insurance continues to be prevalent (67.3% of the insured population in 2018), either directly or through employers’ insurance programs.
Now, commercial insurers and private exchanges, including those offering ACA coverage under a new government program called “enhanced direct enrollment,”3 may be able to sign you up directly for tax credits. It’s a good idea to check if you’re considering these options, since insurers’ capabilities vary.4
The majority of those enrolled in health insurance marketplaces receive the tax credit.5 The specific household income range to qualify is 100% to 400% of the federal poverty limit, which would amount to $12,760 to $51,040 if you’re single and $26,200 to $104,800 for a family of four.6 About 8.5% of all Americans, or 27.5 million people, had no health insurance in 2018.7
The IRS lists additional requirements that must be met, such as ineligibility for employer-sponsored programs, Medicaid, or Medicare.8 Online tools are available, for example, at Healthcare.gov, to determine whether you might qualify.9
Most enrollees receive significant reductions in their monthly premiums, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Nationwide, premiums for ACA coverage averaged $440 per month for individuals and $1,168 for family plans in 2018, and were holding steady or falling slightly in 2019.12 (They vary by household income, family size, location, and choice of plan.) Average tax credits per month ranged from $250 to almost $900 in 2019, depending on where you live.13
Tax credits are available on bronze, silver, and gold policies—making gold plans more easily attainable for some and making bronze plans cheaper (or even free) for others. Regardless of which plan you choose, the IRS says your credit will be generally equal to the premium for the second lowest-cost silver plan available for your “coverage family”—all the members of your family who are enrolled—minus a certain percentage of your household income.14
For example, the Kaiser Family Foundation has calculated that the tax credit for a 40-year-old individual making $20,000 would cover the full premium for the lowest-cost bronze plan in 85% of U.S. counties.15
When you apply for health insurance, the marketplace will estimate the tax credit using information you provide about your family, projected household income, and other factors such as whether anyone you are enrolling is eligible for other types of coverage. For example, you will need to provide your modified adjusted gross income plus that of every other member of your family.
Most people use all or some of their tax credits “in advance” to lower their monthly premium. In other words, the marketplace factors the tax credit into their monthly insurance bill when they apply for a policy.
Even though the credit is not usually a lump sum that you apply for at tax time every year, you still have to file a tax return (with Form 8962: “Premium Tax Credit”). If not, you may not qualify for a tax credit in future years. By mid-February, you should receive an annual form 1095-A in the mail, with the necessary information about your insurance policy, premiums, and advanced payment of tax credits.
The health care tax credit is refundable, meaning if the amount of the credit is more than the amount of taxes you owe, you can receive the difference as a refund.
Additionally, your credit may change if your income or family size changes during the year, and there are online tools to determine those differences, as well.16 It might turn out that you are due for a refund—or that you owe taxes—if you used less or more of the credit than you’re due. Or, you can update your status on the marketplace to adjust your premiums during the year.
Generally speaking, tax credits are worth more than tax deductions. Where tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, deductions only lower your taxable income. If your tax rate is 25%, for instance, a $1,000 tax deduction would drop your tax bill by only $250 (25% of $1,000), but the same size tax credit would lower your tax bill by $1,000.17
The health care law has been the target of ongoing challenges in Washington, D.C., in various states, and in courts across the country, which could affect the tax credit and other aspects of the marketplaces.18 However, news reports suggest that there won’t be major changes in 2020,19 especially since this is an election year.20 Meanwhile, in one poll, only one in five people were even aware of the tax credit.21
The health care tax credit helps lower the monthly premium that people pay on public health insurance marketplaces. Individuals and families with low to lower-middle incomes may qualify, and they can easily find out online whether they do.

One Step Closer
IS THIS MUSIC? Like cassette mixtapes, Maxell t-shirts and Thatcherism, The Silent Boys are on a mission to keep the spirit of the 1980's alive. Not in the same way most bands currently are though; theirs is a manifesto less concerned with Pac Man t-shirts, mullets and Glo-sticks. For with every twist and turn of their lo-fi indie pop jerks a nod to the C86 spirit. Themselves huge fans of the latter and also labels such as Postcard and Factory, you get the sense they'd probably be releasing on these were it not for the labels' distressing demise. From the likes of 'Tin Heart' and 'Love Struck', they've managed to channel the spirit (or crib wholesale, depending on which side of the bed you fell from) The Cure's trademark acoustic twang, and layered it over mildly catchy alt. Folk Americana. In keeping with such ideals, they've noticeably given less time to production duties, but with 'Love Will Keep Us Together' sounding peculiarly similar to that Joy Division number and the gloomy, jangle-pop of 'St Paul's Letter's' shows The Silent Boys are worthy of your time. They were sadly a little late to make the C86 cut, but had they been on time... THE INDIE PAGES For their third album, the Silent Boys really haven't changed too much; but then again, I don't think they ever need to. Their formula of Bats-ish jangly pop mixed with a slightly darker sound and liberally laced with melodic guitar lines continues to suit them quite well, as a number of these songs rank among their best to date. Additionally, their tendency to stretch songs out a bit seems to be waning, as only half of these songs pass the four minute mark; although once again, only a couple of the ones that do exceed four minutes actually feel as if they're too long, particularly the repetitive outro for 'Love Will Keep Us Together (I.C. Was Here)', their sequel to the similarly-titled Joy Division classic (as if the cheeky subtitle wasn't enough!). Fans of the more melancholic Matinée bands, like the Windmills and Melodie Group should love this and all other Silent Boys records! MTQ=9/10 DAGGER There's low key then there's LOW KEY then there's....well, off the radar. Unfortunately the Silent Boys are pretty much off the radar (except for those of us on the indie pop list) which is a damn shame as they are so good at what they do. What is it that they do, you ask? Transport us back to a bygone era called the 80's when labels like Postcard, Factory and Sarah (and bands like Orange Juice, The Field Mice and, of course, Joy Division...who are not exactly what you'd call jangly) brought us some of the best low-key jangle pop that any music scene has ever produced. This is this Virginia bands 3rd record and is definitely their best. Leader Wallace Dietz's songwriting has gotten more confident and with his sturdy rhythm section (including longtime Virginia mainstay John Morand on drums) the melody flows and ONE STEP CLOSER is filled with one good song after another. "St. Paul's Letter" has that guitar that speaks the language of love while "Love Will Keep us Together (I.C. Was here)" is an homage to (big influences on The Silent Boys) Joy Division and dance-worthy "Love Struck" nimbly peeks it's head in and out of closed doors. While the rest of the world is vying for my space and you tube time the Silent Boys seem content to bask in their own little world and to me that's perfect.

Here’s your first look at the new X Factor judges panel! l-r, it’s Paulina Rubio, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and King Simon Cowell on the end. I’m willing to give this panel a chance. I don’t think it matters that the members aren’t huge stars–just as long as there is chemistry and the panel is entertaining.
But I’m getting a “Charlie’s Angels” vibe from this set up. If Simon baits them into arguing, frames them as stereotypical catty women, or is condescending to any of them, it will be insufferable and hard to watch.
Here’s hoping Demi keeps Simon in line…

After a break of nearly two years, Ottawa poet and publisher jwcurry (through his Room 302 Books) has started producing 1cent publications again, his series of small handprinted and/or gestetnered publications sold for a penny. New publications include pieces by Max Middle, Nelson Ball and William Hawkins. Annual subscriptions to the 1cent series can be had for $10 ($15 for American destinations, and $20 for outside that), by writing jwcurry c/o his new address at Room 302 Books, #302-880 Somerset St West., Ottawa, Ontario K1R 6R7. What I’m really looking for is the appearance of a new newsnotes, his review / rant publication. It’s been quite a long time.
With piles of backlist of 1cent publications and other publications, including Industrial Sabotage and his newsnotes, I’m sure he would mail a catalog if you asked nicely. Small publications by bpNichol, Stuart Ross, jwcurry, Chris Turnbull, Richard Truhlar, Randall Brock, Steve McCaffery, Mark Laba, David Aylward, Marco Fraticelli, Peggy Lefler, Don Garner, david uu, Daniel f. Bradley, John Riddell, Steve Ross Smith, Shant Basmajian and hundreds of others. Check out the piece I wrote on the 1cent series in Open Letter (Little Literary Serials, guest edited by Stephen Cain; Eleventh Series, Number 6, Fall 2002).
Otherwise, I know he’s planning to participate in both the toronto small press fair on May 21st, and the ottawa small press book fair on June 18th. How can you say no to something that costs only a penny?
Monday, May 02, 2005
with the 150th anniversary of The City of Ottawa, what better time to start a site for reviews, interviews & calls for submissions involving Ottawa writers & writing. the site will include various submissions from a range of correspondents on a number of topics. enjoy!

Bullet hits Clonmel target
Gold Bullet confirmed himself a chaser of some promise when coming out on top in Clonmel's Suir Valley Chase.
The Tom Taaffe-trained seven-year-old was fancied for the Kim Muir at Cheltenham but could only finish in mid-division.
However, he seemed to relish this smaller field and after challenging the front-running Baily Green at the second-last, where big danger You Must Know Me fell, he stuck to his task to triumph by two and a half lengths.
Taaffe said: "I'm delighted for the horse as he had a race at Cheltenham and it's always a worry running three weeks later.
"He was the youngest of these and you'd be hoping he'd run a stout race and while the track wouldn't suit him, he travelled and jumped today.
"It's one of those races that if you ran it tomorrow you'd get three different results but little apples will do us at the moment! He'll probably run in a two-and-a-half-mile handicap chase at Punchestown next."
Those who took the 8-11 about Nickname Exit in the Goatenbridge Maiden Hurdle were made to sweat a bit but he eventually prevailed with a little bit up his sleeve.
Ruby Walsh had to roust the odds-on favourite along some way from home, but he knuckled down well enough to hit the front at the second-last and kept going to cross the line three and three-quarter lengths ahead of Master Appeal.
Walsh said: "He jumped very well and that made the difference."
Hitting the deck in a point-to-point was hardly the ideal preparation, but Knockrea bounced back just 11 days later to claim the spoils in the Ardfinnan Maiden Hurdle.
Adrian Heskin produced the 9-2 chance to challenge Tongie at the last and he found more on the run to the line to prevail by two and a quarter lengths.
The step out of maiden company saw Jo Go in a better light in the Holy Thursday Handicap Hurdle.
Cathy O'Leary's mare was allowed to go off at 20-1 thanks to three uninspiring performances under Rules, but she relished the rise to three miles and scored by a couple of lengths from Binowagh Bay.
Mallards In Flight (11-2) failed to get round when pitched into Grade Two company, but the Happy Easter To All Our Patrons Handicap Chase was more to her liking and Paul Carberry drove her to a length-and-a-half success.

Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims are most at risk of dropping out of school and being denied an education in India – states the comprehensive report “They say we’re dirty” – Denying an Education to India’s Marginalised, just released by Human Rights Watch.
The authors of the report interviewed hundreds of students, parents, teachers and officials who painted a clear picture that India’s ‘right to education act’ was failing due to both inadequate guidance and the inability at both state and local level to implement laws and guidelines meant to tackle discrimination in schools.
The authors conclude that, “Ensuring the success of India’s Right to Education Act is an ambitious and worthy project … Until the government creates and enforces protocols to monitor vulnerable children, and ensures that schools become inclusive child-friendly places of learning for marginalized children, the project will falter.”
The report includes numerous cases of Dalit children who are discriminated against at school to such a degree that they feel forced to drop out. The dropout rate from elementary school for Dalit children is 51% while the national average is 37%. Those who are the worst hit are adolescent girls whose dropout rate is 64% and even higher when the girl is a Dalit, Adivasi or Muslim.
A father of a child in a Government school in Bihar explained to the researchers that,
“They don’t learn anything, and are asked to sit separately, served food last when there is often nothing left. The Kurmi [dominant caste] children are asked to sit in front. They chase away the Musahar [Dalit] children and feed the higher caste first. They give leftovers to our children.”
The report is full of quotes from Dalit children who explain that they are forced to sit in segregation from the other children in the class, they are not taught and give books, they eat their meals from separate plates, they are harassed, ridiculed and assaulted by other children and sometimes beaten by teachers. The report cites the Director of the Delhi based Centre for Social Equity and Inclusion, Satyendra Kumar,
“Dalit children are made to feel inferior in schools and the schools reinforce caste norms. When it comes to any manual work such as cleaning of classrooms or picking up garbage, it’s always the Dalit children who are asked to do it.”
Socio-economic factors such as poverty, child-labour and migrating workers also contribute to the high dropout levels for Dalits and Dalit girls are often married off early or taken out of school to contribute with household tasks or labour in fields, brick kilns, textile making, rag-picking, begging, minding of livestock or other labour. Widespread corruption is another factor found to impact the provision of education for all in India.
At the heart of all this is the issue of a very weak implementation of the Governments educational policies which, despite the high rates of school enrolment, results in low attendance and high drop-out rates for children from marginalised communities subsequently pushing children into the labour market, leading to the continued failure of the Government’s policies on child labour.

"I feel fortunate to have gotten to know Faith as well as I have. We've studied together and worked together coaching on many occasions. There is one quality in a person that they must have if I am to feel a connection to them. Authenticity. Faith has proven over and over to me that what you see is who she is. Faith is the real deal, and I appreciate her honesty and integrity. I love the connection we have shared, and I know she will continue to be an inspiration to me as we move forward in our respective coaching careers. I am grateful we have crossed paths."
- Don L., PA
“Faith gave me a safe space to open up and be vulnerable. In our first visit, I was able to expose myself and share a long list of issues I felt were taking me hostage. In that original session I learned breathing techniques to bring my emotions to a comfortable level so I could stay in the moment and logically assess the true situation and not the one spiraling in my head. Since that initial conversation, I use Faith’s breathing tools to stay present and calm, no matter what life throws my way. I am forever grateful to have picked up the phone and made that first consultation with Faith.”
- Stacey S., FL
“Faith stands out as a Family Recovery Life Coach. Her dedication, knowledge base and empathic manner lends to her warm and insightful style that yields results. For this I highly recommend you entrust Faith Batt as your Family Recovery Coach."
- Evie B.H., TX
“Faith gets it! When you need a coach that will help you dig deep, Faith is that person. She listens so you know you’re heard, she’s present so you know you’re not alone. She’s very well trained and knowledgeable and able to provide you with resources and support that will keep you moving forward. She’s professional yet practical, focused and fair. Many times we think we know what we want in a session, Faith digs deep to find out what’s hidden and helps you unmask the truth, your own truth. Long after your session, Faith will still hold space for you, I’ve received many texts that just say, “How are things?” I appreciate that, it affirms me and keeps me motivated, connected and inspired to just keep showing up to life everyday!”
- J. Monique W. | Marketing Consultant/Entrepreneur, TX
“As a colleague and friend, I have great respect for Faith’s integrity, passion and commitment to helping families heal. As a coach, Faith is able to draw on her extensive training and her own personal experience, strength and hope to help move the client forward in their learning and understanding of themselves and their role as the family member of someone struggling with a Substance Use Disorder. Her insight, compassion, and empowering language create a safe space in which the client is able to feel heard, encouraged and valued.”
- Kathy T., MD
“Faith Batt is that rare person who not only listens, but really hears you. She is compassionate, calming, perceptive and knowledgeable. As a Family Recovery Life Coach, she brings her own personal and educational experiences to her clients and you can sense her interest, energy, empathy, and breadth of knowledge. I believe this is a vocation not a job for Faith. That in itself is comforting.”
- M.G., FL
“Faith Batt, Family Recovery Specialist and Coach, has a unique and authentic God-given ability to tune into the best process for each client and their family. Healing is an ongoing part of life and Faith's relationship with the families is to be trusted in order for all persons to grow, reevaluate their needs and to move forward to greater levels of health and healing. I completely recommend Faith Batt's counsel to all families in need of help and support. Her forward thinking and flexibility enables her to stay in the moment and assess the situation deeply and honestly. Then, she can help you reshape the problem into a realistic solution for all.”
- Jill Ayn Schneider, Author, Healer, Retreat Leader, NC
FOREWORD FOR “Cracking Up! Life With My Fractured Family” by FAITH BATT
By John Walsh
"I still remember that chilly morning in the late days of 1989, when I walked up the block from America’s Most Wanted, a few hours before taping that week’s show, to meet a young woman who wanted us to take on her case. It was one of the most brutal, painful stories of child abuse our fledgling program had come across, and frankly, I wasn’t sure whether we should air it. It was the story of a man who had beaten and abused his children for years; they’d finally come forward, and he was convicted of the crime. But just before sentencing, he disappeared, and had been on the run ever since.
Some of the children in the family wanted to let the story die – they didn’t want to have their pain and sorrow exposed to a national television audience. And I certainly didn’t want to push them into it. But when I heard that remarkable young woman, shy but unafraid, tell me her story, I understood, perhaps for the first time, a lesson I would learn a thousand times over in my years at America’s Most Wanted. She needed to tell the truth. Because the truth would set her free. It set many others free, as well: After we aired her story, dozens of other victims of abuse came forward, saying: this happened to me as well. I’ve never told anyone. But I need to tell someone now. I can’t keep this secret anymore.
And thank God, we were able to help so many of those people find justice, and a measure of closure, for the pain and suffering they endured. But little did I know how the stories we aired in those first days of America’s Most Wanted would continue to inspire others to share their stories as well. It became a kind of oral tradition – one story unfolding onto the next. A tradition that endures to this day.
I met another remarkable young woman at our show the following year: This time, it was a young freelance producer named Faith. From the first case she worked on for us – I remember it was a murder case down in Florida – she showed a natural ability to empathize with the victims of crime, to put them at ease, to reassure them and comfort them.
I did not know, until she sent me the manuscript for this book, that there was a reason she had such a natural ability to understand. It was because she had gone through such nightmares of her own.
In reading through Faith’s story of her own dark, abusive childhood – told with harrowing clarity, but without self-pity – I came to understand, once again, the power of the truth in the lives of victims. I know that Faith is finally revealing her story so that others may benefit from it – and I know, from many, many years of experience, how very important that is.
To Faith, I’d like to say, I am sorry for all you have endured. But I am grateful to you for sharing it with the world. And to her readers: I hope her tale is of comfort to those who have also gone through the dark places. May it help you reach for the light. There is a life beyond the pain: That is the truth that, as the father of a murdered child, I learned in order to survive. I hope this honest, heartfelt memoir helps others to learn it as well."

Women with a distinct fashion sense like experimenting with new outfits and accessories. You don’t even need a special occasion to appear stylish; you may do it every given day.Women’s tunic tops are one of our favorite and most wearable styles this season.
When you open your closet door, do you ever say, “I don’t have anything to wear,” only to be met with a wardrobe stuffed to the brim? The answer to your difficulty is a tunic, which can be found in almost anyone’s wardrobe.
A tunic is one of the most adaptable garments in your closet. Is there a meeting you need to go to on time? Wear a tunic top with fitted slacks or a skirt to look elegant. Is this just something you decided to do on the fly with your pals? You may just toss on a tunic and go, matching it with shorts or jeans.
The shapes of this season’s tunics make them seem modern go for asymmetrical designs or high slits, and mix them with white slacks or denim for summer! And white jeans may seem too informal or conventional for the city. A sleek, contemporary tunic makes the ensemble suitable while being attractive.
Consider tunic dressing in three layers: a cropped biker as the top layer, followed by a long shirt or tunic and, last, slim jeans. To balance your day-to-night style, finish with a block heel shoe!
How to Wear Different Styles of Tunics
1. Women Tunics Top
Wearing a women’s tunic top is the best way to express your inner urban hippy; they look great and are also quite comfortable. Invest in a tunic top, and wear it with matching leggings and simple sandals, like those famous worldwide. Reduce the extra stuff you’re carrying, and you’ll be all set.
2. Tunics for Women with a V-Cut at the Front
It’s no secret that tunics with a slit up the front are all the rage. One front slit tunic has the slit beginning at the natural waist, while another has the slit starting at the bust. The inner and outer fabrics coordinate, and the trail they leave behind is lovely. Pair your matte makeup with a pair of black leggings or jeans to complete the look.
3. Short-and-Long Tunics for Women
You may pair a long-short tunic with leggings, jeans, jeggings, and more for a casual day at the office or school. Choosing the right accessories, such as a sling purse and a pair of earrings with dangling components, is all required.
4. Belted Tunics for Women
A simple belt defines the waist and exudes elegance and sophistication when worn with a tunic. The strap is the finishing touch that will have you looking like a diva in no time. Add some oxidized jewelry and a sling purse to round off your outfit.
5. Women’s Tunic Tops with Uneven Hems
The asymmetrical ones are replacing the symmetrical styles of the past. It’s easy to look like a summer fashion icon with an asymmetrical tunic and fitting leggings without much extra work on jewellery or other accessories. You just need a little amount of makeup to look amazing. Try asymmetrical tunics the next time you browse high-end tunics on the web.
6. Silk Tunics for Women
A girl’s got to feel like a queen, and the fabric that makes them feel like one is silk. Elegant silk tunics are perfect for celebrations, gatherings, and festivals. Put on matching leggings, stud earrings, and bangles; you’ve got a desi look.
7. Sweater Variation Tunics for Women
If you’re planning on wearing a tunic solely throughout the coming or going of winter, you can if you acquire a sweater-style tunic. They’re dresses that cover the whole body, provide exceptional ease, portability, and style, and pair well with a wide range of bottoms. Sweater-style tunics are toasty enough to keep you warm in mild winters so that you can leave your bulkier outerwear at home.
8. Professional Tunics for Women
Can you no longer stand wearing pantsuits? Maybe you ate pizza last night and ruined your one white dress shirt. No worries; tunics may also give you a great, professional appearance. You can’t go wrong with a tunic in a pasted hue or a nude and a pencil skirt or pair of tailored trousers. Pair work pants for women and tunic with flats or heels and some subtle jewellery. You can never go wrong with a sleek pendant or bracelet to accent your formal attire.
9. Winter Tunics for Women
Tunic tops for women are as suitable for the colder months. Do you find it frustrating that no matter how many clothes you have, they never seem to coordinate? Nonetheless, a tunic layered under a thick cardigan, attractive sweaters, and tall boots are a great outfit. This outfit is perfect for dates or casual trips in the winter when accessorized with a beanie or checkered scarf.
10. Best in Sequin Tunics for Women
Sequin tunics are sure to get you noticed at any evening event, whether it’s a formal party, a friend’s wedding, or simply a crazy night out at the club to kick off the weekend. If worn correctly, a sequined tunic may make for a beautiful ensemble.
Get shopping, and combine them with a pencil skirt and tights, as well as high heels or boots. Add sparkle to your appearance with a set of earrings or a belt to complement this outfit.
I’m hoping you were able to pick up some tips on how to dress up various tunics for various events from this post. And I predict that tunics will quickly become an integral component of your daily wardrobe. They will provide you with a feeling of both fashion and ease, so you won’t have to choose between the two again. Your panache and happiness are now equally important, so feel free to choose either.
There are several additional options to choose from, and you can easily create your unique sense of style by mixing and matching various tops, bottoms, and accessories.
Tunics, a cross between Indian and Western designs, are the perfect smart casual outfit for the workplace on a day-to-day basis and flatter women of all shapes and sizes.

Good morning, a very quick post this morning, as although I was very organised this week and actually took the photos on Monday (had an extra day off as I had to use up my hols) I didn't get around to downloading them until this morning. My desk for this week looks like this:
If you saw my desk last week and noticed the melt pot flowers, you may be interested as to where they went, a couple are on the above card and the other two went onto this card:
But I couldn't show it as I didn't want the recipient to see it, but I can show it now, hope you like it - she did.
Must dash, a quick look at the other desks on Julia's blog and off to work

Part of the busyness of our past weekend included my BABY hitting DOUBLE DIGITS! He couldn’t wait; I, on the divergent hand, was hoping time would stand still. His wish was granted…mine went the route all others typically do when I throw salt over my shoulder, or barely audibly whisper "Star light, star bright…", or choose the finger to which an eyelash sticks.
Three of Stephen’s best buddies spent the night, and they were amazingly well behaved. They slipped into their sleeping bags about the same time Cinderella’s coach would have metamorphosed into a pumpkin–late enough to appease their appetite to stay up late like "big kids" and early enough for me to turn in before I transfigured into Elphaba.
For his birthday, Stephen asked for one thing. Just one thing. An iPod.
If you pay attention in the least, you know I just received one for my birthday a week earlier. Rachel and Thomas each already have one, too. For Stephen–a brand, new ten-year-old for heaven’s sake–to get one seemed outrageous to me (probably more so, Tad).
The thing is, he DOES enjoy listening to music…he IS always borrowing his siblings’ players when they aren’t listening themselves. And…it WAS the only thing he asked for.
So, Saturday morning at 7:30, I found myself at Wal-Mart, chunking out the cash for yet another Apple.
As you can imagine, Stephen woke up READY for presents from his family. Tad was on call this weekend and had to go into work, so I told Stephen we’d have to wait until he got home. Since we had partied with his friends, our family gathering was v e r y simple.
Well, Tad got home and we couldn’t hold Stephen back.
Bless his heart, little did he know, his big brother had cooked up some FUN for him, especially since our family "party" was pretty anti-climatic. Thomas asked me if HE could "wrap" Stephen’s gift. Prankster that he is, though, he got a large gift bag and filled it with junk, quite literally, J.U.N.K.! The randomness of his choices still has me shaking my head wondering whose genes this represents. See for yourself:
In case you can’t load the picture, I’ll be happy to detail it for you: dental floss, one red taper candle, a can of mushrooms, a jar of chicken bullion, two tin muffin liners, fabric stiffener from my crafting days, a vial of flea prevention drops, and an open-and-used Pin the Tail on the Donkey set.
Oh, how I wish Stephen’s expression was captured on celluloid. It was heartbreaking . . . but priceless!
He took each item out of the bag, studied it meticulously, looking for some reason, ANY REASON, he could be excited. Our children are generally grateful kids, so he was trying to be gracious. With each "gift" his countenance fell a little lower, confusion masked his face, and very obviously, he wasn’t finding anything worthy of "thanks".
Well, that wasn’t enough for me (bless his heart, again). I felt the need to begin a little parental speech.
"Stephen, honey, Daddy and I talked it over and we decided you’re just too young for some of the things you’re asking for…"
It was cruel. It was unusual punishment. ON HIS BIRTHDAY!
It put him over the edge. That fallen countenance gave way to Niagra Falls and the tears came without notice, and I stood ready to turn in my parenting credentials. Right then. Right there.
We all told him to look in the bag again, that there was something else there. The most important thing–a note.
Apparently needing additional lessons in handwriting, Thomas quickly told him to go into another room in our house and take a look around. His face immediately brightened, he looked at me, and walked into our sunroom. We all followed, and he quickly found it (Thomas "hid" it in plain view). The little buzzard saw it, picked it up, and started crying again, saying, "Thank you so much, I can’t believe you really got it for me" and I called the New Mommy Store and asked for a replacement.
He’s told me at least five more times how much he appreciated his iPod. That first night we found him in his room just listening and content.
Believe it or not, he said this is the best present E.V.A.H. In spite of our best efforts to scar him for life :/.
That was HYSTERICAL!! And yet just the thing I would get put away for.
You are the best mom ever for buying the iPod NOW, though.
It’s a birthday he’ll never forget!!! AWESOME!
Oh what a GREAT story! I could just picture every facial expression, every moment. He is always going to remember this one!
I blogged about my oldest turning double digits on March 16. These birthdays are almost as big of a milestone for moms as for the kids!
P.S. We love our iPods, too. I’m addicted to iTunes! My kids are younger so for Christmas we bought them each a less expensive MP3 player. They love them!
I was crying too.
Our almost ten-year-old daughter just got an MP3 player too (an early birthday present because we found an awesome deal) so the only person in our house without one is our 5 year old. I didn’t think I wanted one until borrowing my older daughter’s the last time I went on a trip and falling in love with it.
How cruel & hilarious — my parents would have done the same thing!
Dear robin. That sounds just like something my family would have done. Don’t worry. You don’t need a replacement. You’re teaching the important lesson of humility (tragedy?). I thoroughly enjoyed that story :o)
Oh Elphaba – um, Robin…
You made him squirm, but it was all worth it in the end!
Happy Birthday Stephen!!!!!
Such a sweet story, but also deliciously cruel. In a good, he won’t have to go to therapy over it, kind of way. Way to go, SuperMom!
What a funny story and just the kind of thing we do here!
I can just imagine how he felt poor lamb, but all that is now forgotten as he got his dream and he’ll have a good story to tell his friends.
You and Tad are such cool parents!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEPHEN!!!
Tigger, I told Stephen I was writing this, and he said, “You aren’t gonna tell ’em I cried, are you?” I told him that part was PRICELESS. This morning, I read it to him and I got his stamp of approval :). Even HE could see the humor (that’s my gene 😉 ).
So if we go to Mommy jail, glad I’ll have some good company! 😉
Rachelle, it’s a good thing my kids and I share similar tastes in music…it cuts down on the iTunes receipts. We thought about getting Stephen a little less pricey, but ultimately decided we were just postponing the inevitable.
Hey, I just thought of something–since I bonded with you over your music tastes, why don’t we just exchange our playlists and upload what we don’t already have? Is that legal??? 😉
Pamela, I could sooo see you doing something like this…now, anyway :).
Heather, that’s how I got hooked–listening to my oldest two’s. Sometimes, I really appreciate how it can block out all the noise of the world….
LCO, I wonder if my kids believe in “paybacks”… Hmmmm….
Dear LMM, I HOPE we’re teaching the “right” things, lol. Glad you enjoyed…I actually enjoyed re-living it through writing it :).
Karmyn, I promise, we didn’t make him squirm long! He grinned when I told him you said “Happy Birthday” (you’re like the one blogger he thinks he knows 🙂 ).
Sabrina, “deliciously cruel”…me likey!
Beccy, from what I’ve read about your family, I can definitely see that!
Heeeeeeey, Stephanie, you weren’t here a minute ago…little sneaker. I’ll be sure and tell our children what you said. In fact, I might print it out and put it on the fridge ;).
Great story! I can remember asking for a “boom box” (am I that old?) for Christmas when I was about 14 and my parents did the same thing you did to Stephen! They gave me little junky presents, and then a note – my boom box was in the closet!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEPHEN! I’ll tell you like my big brother told me when I turned 10 – “Welcome to the double digits.”
And it only gets better 😉
Classic. I love it – being the youngest of 5, I was the fav one to do this to……….I was gonna say something to make you feel sorry for me……! Naw – it was all good, I was luh-uhved!
My baby is also about to turn 10 years old (May 1st)! He has been informed that he will remain 10 yrs old forever. I can’t bear for him to leave boyhood behind and turn into a teen. He’s enough of a preteen already.
Shame on you for upsetting Stephen so much, LOL!
I don’t know what I’ll get my little man for his birthday. Guess I should start thinking about that. Won’t be an ipod, though, I know nothing about them. Probably outside toys–he’s in front of a screen too much.
Happy 10th Birthday, Stephen!
How cruel, how mean, how FUNNY! You will all be laughing about this years from now – so pin your mother button back on – you just made a family memory!
Bless his heart. Your post is heartwarming and brings back memories. I used to tease our son, Luke ,about how he could trade his parents in for a new set. He was amazed at actually finding A Parents Store in Orlando.
Oh poor baby!!!! But I can totally remember having my parents do that to me, and I’m pretty normal. I guess…
Susan, yeah, I know all about boom boxes, thank you very much;). Stephen was the one who pointed out the double digit thing. Gosh that kind of thing is IMPORTANT when you’re that age :).
Kristy, it REALLY, TRULY IS all about being LOVED, baby girl ;)!!!
Mom2-3, we actually considered a ping-pong table, too, but it’ll take up the whole room wherever we put it…for now, an iPod took up less space. I hear ya though about ENOUGH (too much?) screen time…:/.
Robin, I like your perspective. And your name ;).
MJD, THERE’S A REAL PARENT STORE?? Oh, no!! I’m in trouble. How cool is it that your son has a blog! I hope mine do this one day (and not on myspace, either :/).
Tracey, your comment made me smile…normal…now if that’s not a relative term, I don’t know what is! I’m the most “normal” person I know, yet I’m certifiably insane…how can they peacefully co-exist?? 🙂
What a great family story. You all will keep his skin thick and his humor in good spirits. We are the same. We like to jump out of each other and scare in the dark. Oh.. yes!~ That’s fun!
Happy Birthday Stephen!
I really need tot ake some tips from you and get creative on birthdays. That would be so cool!
Happy Birthday Stephen!! Wow…that was some birthday.
Happy Birthday, Stephen. Your mom is a turkey.
Ahhh! I think that’s great.
Is it bad to laugh at his tears? What a sweet story!
Vicki, why doesn’t this revelation surprise me about you? 😉
Kelly, steal, steal, steal away (I’ll be sure and return the favor) :).
Claudia, See?? YOU get an iPod and now they’re poppin’ up everywhere…you trendsetter, you ;).
Thanks SwampY and MikeY :D.
Hi Amanda…have we met? If not, nice to meetcha. If so, forgive me, I’m old…as the hills. But to answer YOUR question, no. I did. Hence the need for the new mommy :/ lol.
I bet he is just over the moon!What a cool gift! My 6 yr old wants one, she’s a clutz so we say no way. Of course her dad says there will be bigger and better iPods in a few years, then she can have his old one. i know it’s just an excuse for him to get a new toy, LOL!
As far as scarring the kids- If at first you don’t succeed…;)

via Occupy London
On the first anniversary of the Occupy London Stock Exchange camp just by St Paul’s Cathedral, Occupy London is pleased to announce the publication of its first book, which aims to demystify the financial world and provide possible solutions. Entitled ‘The Little Book of Ideas’, the free pocket sized book – written by the Economics Working Group of Occupy London – is now available for download and is also available in print, with a first run of 1,500 copies. [Editor's note: Though written in the context of the U.K., the concepts also apply in the U.S. and many other countries, as the systems described and words used are almost entirely the same here!]
The book was launched one year to the day when thousands of people came together to highlight social and economic injustice in the UK and beyond, as part of a global movement for real democracy. Yesterday’s announcement also follows Sunday’s successful action inside St Paul’s Cathedral, which saw four female protesters chain themselves to the pulpit to put pressure on the leadership of the Cathedral ‘to stop sitting on the fence and join the fight against rising inequality in the UK and beyond’.

Over the past several days, some news publishers have complained that their new articles are not showing up on time in Google News and the Google News Publisher Center. They are saying that the Google News Publisher Center shows that Google didn’t fetch their new stories, sometimes lagging back three full days.
Bapun, a Platinum Product Expert in the Google Publisher Center help forums notified me of the issue on Twitter and man are there a lot of complaints in the forums there. Bapun said that the Google News team is aware of the issue and currently working on it.
Here is a list of some of the complaint threads:
Here is a screenshot of one publisher showing how Google is showing it was updated July 31st but the date on the computer (bottom right bar) shows August 3rd already:
I wonder what exactly is going on… We did recently have a Google News Indexing issue that lingered on for weeks until it was resolved a month or so ago.
Some publishers are manually refreshing what is in the Publisher Center.
I don’t see this refresh button for this site but I do for another site I have access to in Publisher Center.
Forum discussion at Twitter and threads above.

Apple has released 5.1. This is either being pushed out now or will be shortly. This has some bigger-than-normal impacts for jailbreakers. Please read this carefully.
There is no untethered jailbreak for 5.1. Do not update to it. You will lose your jailbreak, cydia, and all your tweaks..
Absolutely, do not use the onboard iphone software update to update your device. This will most likely render your device unbootable and you will be forced to restore to 5.1.
1) If you are on an iphone 4s or iPad 2, updating to 5.1 is one-way. (This may also be the case for iphone 4 users). You cannot revert back. If you try 5.1 you will be stuck there forever. You will not be able to jailbreak until a new jailbreak is released.
2) If you are on an iPhone 4 or ipad 1 or similar device, you will be able to jailbreak tethered, then install semitether to get a semitethered jailbreak. In short, this will be jailbroken but when you reboot, you will lose your jailbreak until you get back to your computer and rerun redsn0w.
3) If you are on an old 3gs, like always, you can jailbreak untethered.
Finally, some other issues to be concerned with. If you install something in cydia that causes your device to not boot, you have to restore, you will be stuck updating to 5.1. Therefore, I suggest you get SSH installed and learn how to use it. If your device is in an unbootable state, you can fix it via SSH. With SSH installed, you can get further help in our irc channel (irc.thebigboss.org, #ios).
Troubleshooting your device without restore:
Continue Reading ..>>
If you encounter issues on your device like things are not running stably or such, rather than restoring, try to debug the issue. Here are my suggestions:
1) In cydia uninstall mobile substrate. This will remove many things. Allow that. Reboot the device.
2) After this, test the device. Is it stable? If so, move to step 3.
3) Reinstall one tweak of your choice. Only one. This will reinstall mobile substrate as well.
4) Test with just that one tweak until you’re satisfied your device is stable.
5) Repeat steps 3 & 4 with one tweak at a time until you find one that makes the device unstable. Remove that one only and continue on.

Did you know that you don’t need heavy cream to thicken your sauce?
In fact, there are 10 clever ways to achieve that perfect consistency without it.
Whether you’re looking for a gluten-free option like arrowroot powder or a pantry staple like flour, these tricks will help you create the creamy texture you desire.
So put away the heavy cream and discover a world of alternatives that will take your sauces to the next level.
Arrowroot powder can be a great alternative for thickening sauce without using heavy cream. It is a natural starch that comes from the arrowroot plant, and it has a neutral flavor and smooth texture.
To use arrowroot powder as a thickener, start by mixing it with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry. Then, add the slurry to your sauce and simmer it until it thickens to your desired consistency.
The great thing about arrowroot powder is that it does not alter the taste of your sauce, unlike some other thickeners. It also works well with acidic ingredients, making it a versatile option for a variety of sauces and dishes.
To use cornstarch, start by creating a slurry by mixing equal parts cornstarch and cold water. Then, add this mixture to your sauce gradually, stirring constantly until it thickens to your desired consistency. Be cautious not to add too much cornstarch as it can make your sauce overly thick and gloopy.
Additionally, remember that cornstarch thickens sauces when heated, so it’s important to cook your sauce for a few minutes after adding the cornstarch slurry.
Cornstarch is a great alternative to heavy cream as it is gluten-free and has a neutral taste, allowing the flavors of your sauce to shine through.
Using flour as a thickening agent for your sauce is a simple and effective way to achieve the desired consistency. All you need to do is mix flour with a little bit of water or broth to form a smooth paste. Then, gradually whisk this paste into your sauce while it’s simmering.
The starch in the flour will absorb some of the liquid in the sauce, thickening it up nicely. Just remember to whisk continuously to avoid any lumps. Keep in mind that flour may alter the taste of your sauce slightly, so it’s important to taste and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
With this easy method, you can enjoy a thick and flavorful sauce without the need for heavy cream.
Did you know that potato starch is a great alternative to flour for thickening your sauce?
Potato starch is derived from potatoes and is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes.
When added to your sauce, potato starch helps to create a thick and creamy texture without the need for heavy cream.
To use potato starch as a thickening agent, simply mix it with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry, and then add it to your sauce while it’s cooking.
The starch will absorb the liquid and thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
Not only is potato starch gluten-free, but it also adds a subtle flavor to your dishes that complements a wide range of flavors.
Give it a try and see how potato starch can elevate your sauces to the next level!
Gelatin is a common ingredient that can add a smooth and jiggly texture to desserts. If you’re looking for a way to thicken your sauce without heavy cream, gelatin can be a great alternative.
To use gelatin, start by blooming it in cold water. Once it’s bloomed, you can heat it up until it dissolves completely. Then, simply add the gelatin mixture to your sauce and stir well. The gelatin will help to thicken the sauce and give it a nice, silky texture. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the gelatin package for the correct measurements.
Gelatin is a versatile thickening agent that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, so don’t be afraid to experiment with it in your sauces.
Vegetable purees can be a healthy and flavorful alternative to heavy cream when thickening sauces. Instead of relying on heavy cream, try using vegetable purees to add thickness and richness to your sauces.
By pureeing vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, or butternut squash, you can create a smooth and velvety texture that will enhance the flavor of your dishes. Not only are vegetable purees lower in calories and fat than heavy cream, but they also provide added nutrients and vitamins.
Plus, they can easily be made at home by simply cooking the vegetables until tender and then blending them until smooth.
When making custards or mayonnaise, you can use egg yolks to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Egg yolks are a versatile ingredient that can be used to thicken sauces as well.
By adding egg yolks to your sauce, you can create a luscious and velvety texture that will elevate your dishes to a whole new level. To do this, simply whisk the egg yolks together and slowly add them to your sauce while stirring constantly. The heat will cook the egg yolks, creating a thick and rich consistency.
Be sure to temper the yolks before adding them to hot liquids to prevent them from curdling. Egg yolks not only add thickness, but they also contribute to the flavor of your sauce, making it even more delicious.
Now, let’s explore another alternative to thickening your sauce without heavy cream – coconut milk. This creamy and dairy-free option can add a rich and tropical flavor to your dishes.
To use coconut milk as a thickening agent, simply add it to your sauce and simmer it gently until it reduces and thickens to your desired consistency. The natural fats in coconut milk help create a smooth and velvety texture, making it a perfect choice for curries, soups, and stews.
Coconut milk not only adds thickness but also imparts a slightly sweet and nutty taste to your sauce, enhancing the overall flavor profile. It’s a versatile ingredient that can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions or preferences.
Nutritional yeast, commonly used as a vegan cheese substitute, adds a savory and cheesy flavor to your dishes. It’s a great ingredient to have on hand when you want to thicken your sauces without using heavy cream.
Simply sprinkle in a tablespoon or two of nutritional yeast into your sauce and stir it in until it’s well incorporated. The yeast will not only add thickness but also enhance the taste of your sauce.
It’s a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from pasta sauces to soups and stews. Plus, nutritional yeast is packed with nutrients like B vitamins and protein, making it a healthier alternative to heavy cream.
To add a little kick to your dishes, try sprinkling some mustard powder for a tangy and flavorful twist. Mustard powder is a versatile ingredient that can elevate the taste of your favorite meals. It pairs well with meats, vegetables, and even sauces.
When added to a sauce, the mustard powder not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps to thicken it. The natural enzymes in the mustard powder react with the liquid in the sauce, creating a thicker consistency. Simply sprinkle a small amount of mustard powder into the sauce and stir it well.
You’ll be amazed at how this simple addition can transform your dish into a delicious and satisfying meal. So go ahead and give it a try, and enjoy the zesty goodness of mustard powder in your cooking.

We compared summer stream temperature patterns in 40 small forested watersheds in the Hoh and Clearwater basins in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, to examine correlations between previous riparian and basin-wide timber harvest activity and stream temperatures. Seven watersheds were unharvested, while the remaining 33 had between 25% and 100% of the total basin harvested, mostly within the last 40 years. Mean daily maximum temperatures were significantly different between the harvested and unharvested basins, averaging 14.5C and 12.1C, respectively. Diurnal fluctuations between harvested and unharvested basins were also significantly different, averaging 1.7C and 0.9C, respectively. Total basin harvest was correlated with average daily maximum temperature (r2 = 0.39), as was total riparian harvest (r2 = 0.32). The amount of recently clear-cut riparian forest (<20 year) within 600 m upstream of our monitoring sites ranged from 0% to 100% and was not correlated to increased stream temperatures. We used Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC) analysis to assess whether other physical variables could explain some of the observed variation in stream temperature. We found that variables related to elevation, slope, aspect, and geology explain between 5% and 14% more of the variability relative to the variability explained by percent of basin harvested (BasHarv), and that the BasHarv was consistently a better predictor than the amount of riparian forest harvested. While the BasHarv is in all of the models that perform well, the AIC analysis shows that there are many models with two variables that perform about the same and therefore it would be difficult to choose one as the best model.We conclude that adding additional variables to the model does not change the basic findings that there is a relatively strong relationship between maximum daily stream temperatures and the total amount of harvest in a basin, and strong, but slightly weaker relationship between maximum daily stream temperatures and the total riparian harvest in a basin. Seventeen of the 40 streams exceeded the Washington State Department of Ecology’s (DOE) temperature criterion for waters defined as ‘‘core salmon and trout habitat’’ (class AA waters). The DOE temperature criterion for class AA waters is any seven-day average of daily maximum temperatures in excess of 16C. The probability of a stream exceeding the water quality standard increased with timber harvest activity. All unharvested sites and five of six sites that had 25-50% harvest met DOEs water quality standard.In contrast, only nine of eighteen sites with 50-75% harvest and two of nine sites with >75% harvest met DOEs water quality standard. Many streams with extensive canopy closure, as estimated by the age of riparian trees, still had higher temperatures and greater diurnal fluctuations than the unharvested basins. This suggests that the impact of past forest harvest activities on stream temperatures cannot be entirely mitigated through the reestablishment of riparian buffers.
This report discusses "Active River Area" and the benefits it provides along with ways to protect the area to achieve river conservation. Available online at https://www.nature.org/initiatives/freshwater/files/active_river_area.pdf
Deforestation of riparian zones is known to influence the numbers and kinds of oranisms that inhabit adjoining streams, but little quantitative information is available on how much deforestation must occur before the biota is affected. [
Healthy fish populations are dependent on streamflow regimes that protect the ecological integrity of their habitat. Fish habitats are the consequence of linkage among the stream, floodplain, riparian, and upland zones, and watershed geography. Fluvial-geomorphic processes form and control fish habitat. Because of this, multiple in-channel and out-of-channel flows are needed to maintain these processes. We present a conceptual methodology for measuring tour types of streamflow regimes: instream flows, channel maintenance flows, riparian maintenance flows, and valley maintenance flows. The combination of these four streamflow types is designed to protect fish and their habitat. Using a case study of the Salmon River near Whitebird, Idaho, we demonstrate how the methodology could be used to develop a multiple flow recommendation.

SAN DIEGO An intoxicated pedestrian was hit and seriously injured Sunday night in the Midway District, San Diego police said.
The 25-year-old woman was crossing Lytton Street east of Rosecrans Street about 7:35 p.m. when she was struck by a Toyota 4Runner that was heading west, police said.
Before the collision, the woman had been at Desi’s Bar and Grill, said traffic Detective Dan Wall. “She walked right out the front door and into the street,” Wall said.
The woman suffered skull fractures and bleeding on her brain, police said. Her name has not been released, but Wall said she was from Escondido.
The 46-year-old woman driving the SUV stopped and was not cited, police said.

The T. Eaton Company wound up its catalogue sales operation after over 10 years of heavy losses. Timothy Eaton realized that Canada’s rural residents had absolutely no access to modern products when he launched the catalogue in 1884.
It took less than 20 years before westerners dubbed the catalogue The Prairie Bible. It began with 32 pages, no pictures and nothing more than the item’s name and price. It turned into a Canadian symbol, used not only to sell products but also as building insulation, hockey shin pads and outhouse toilet paper.
You could order almost anything from the catalogue including a home! Here is some history on catalogue homes from the Herald archives:
For new settlers arriving to Canada’s prairies during the early 20th century, finding a home to live in was difficult. A lack of trees meant lumber was a scarce commodity. It wasn’t until the creation of the catalogue house that home-owning became a reality.
Found on the pages of the Eaton’s’ Catalogue, these mail-order homes could be ordered like clothing and were available in a variety of sizes, shapes and colours.
Delivered to the nearest railway station, the houses arrived in pieces much like furniture you buy at IKEA. Everything from the timber to the nails came pre-packaged, along with a how-to guide for construction.
The first Canadian-manufactured catalogue house appeared in the Winnipeg edition of the Eaton’s catalogue in 1910.
For $945, people could buy an eight-room house with a two-storey gable-end design, full verandah and back porch, says Les Henry, author of Catalogue Houses: Eatons’ and Others.
Out of the United States was the Aladdin Company, which opened branches across Canada. It offered customers a money-back guarantee of $1 for every knot found in its lumber.
The pioneer of catalogue houses was the British Columbia Mills Timber and Trading Company, which dates sales back to 1886. It shut down in 1914. Three years later United Grain Growers began selling homes, until the mid-1920s.
A small number of catalogue houses still dot the landscape in Western Canada. While many exist as abandoned farmhouses, others have been restored by enthusiasts.
There are 14 catalogue houses in Alberta, including one in Calgary and one in Strathmore.

4 arrested after Mukilteo home invasion, pursuit | Seattle Times Newspaper
I hope they trow the book at them.I have a cousin who is currently facing a lengthy prison term for his involvement in that Puyallup break in that lead to the death of one of his accomplices.This fate has been a long time coming for him and hopefully this will do him some good.You would think that people would look at something like the Puyallup case and decide that this type of crime is just too risky. I guess the pull of drugs overrides any sense of reason.The worst part is the affect that this can have on the people around these idiots.My aunt and uncle are crushed and my cousin's son will be without his father for years.
Most of us have a black sheep in the family. If I were to sit on their jury they would get no mercy from me, family or not
This type of crime should carry a mandatory death penalty

Timbie et al. report on the association between patient-centered medical home capabilities and various outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries receiving care from 804 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) participating in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) FQHC Advanced Primary Care Practice Demonstration.1 As part of this demonstration, in the summer of 2011, FQHCs completed the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) application for patient-centered medical home (PCMH) recognition as a baseline assessment of PCMH capabilities. Using a cross-sectional design, the study authors examined the relationship between PCMH capabilities and outcomes using claims for Medicare beneficiaries seen between November 2010 and October 2011.
Eighty-eight percent of FQHCs reported PCMH capabilities that would qualify them for NCQA PCMH recognition. Medicare beneficiaries seen in PCMH-certified sites had higher numbers of outpatient visits and Medicare expenditures, but no differences in non-FQHC primary care visits or inpatient costs, compared to non-PCMH sites. Quality-of-care measure outcomes were mixed, with significant increases found for LDL cholesterol and nephropathy testing, but no differences in HbA1c test or eye exam.
A very high proportion of FQHCs were purportedly operating with PCMH capabilities. Defining and measuring PCMH capabilities will continue to be one of the most challenging aspects of primary care delivery system research, because formal recognition as a PCMH and actually delivering care guided by PCMH principles may not be equivalent.2 PCMH research has demonstrated mixed findings with respect to whether such interventions offer meaningful value;3 findings confirmed by this study would suggest that small increases in quality come with a higher cost, and the largest known drivers of cost (inpatient utilization) are not associated with PCMH capabilities.
Primary Care is a non-linear, complex adaptive system,4 and evaluating broad delivery system innovations such as PCMH presents large challenges. The field is poised to move beyond simplistic comparisons of PCMH vs. non-PCMH, to identifying specific primary care features, functions, and processes that lead to meaningful changes in quality, health outcomes, patient experience, and cost.5

For Christmas last year I bought Dave one of Quaint Co.‘s Vintage Camera Print sets, which we both really love – and which was even more beautiful in person! They’re actually screen printed, not just digitally printed, so have a lovely feel to them.
Anyway, I went back to their site the other day and noticed they’ve now also got Vintage Bicycle Prints! There’s just something so charming about vintage bicycles, don’t you think?
Around the same time as discovering the bicycle prints, I also happened to stumble across these actual vintage-style bicycles from Papillionaire.. aren’t they fantastic?! I would love to have one in cream I think.. and with a basket of course ;) I’d probably also have to pretend I was living in Paris and fill my basket with fresh flowers and bread sticks. Perfect!
Papillionaire has loads of gorgeous bike styles and in lots of different colours too. Which would you choose?

Virtual Tumor Boards
Connecting the strengths of university and community medicine
Tumor Boards are recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer as an essential component of excellence in cancer care. They bring together a range of medical disciplines for discussions on how to best care for patient with cancer.
Using state-of-the-art broadband telemedicine technology, teams of specialists from UC Davis Health System's Cancer Care Network Cancer Centers and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center meet in videoconferences called "Virtual Tumor Boards" to share medical information and agree on treatment options.
United in quality cancer care
The UC Davis Cancer Care Network has united affiliate cancer centers in the commitment to promote first-rate cancer care. Virtual Tumor Boards provide physicians opportunities to explore additional resources and treatment options, such as clinical trials or referrals for additional specialty care that may be beneficial.
Tumor boards allow physicians to:
- Draw on experiences from their own patients
- Tap specific or unique expertise of care team members
- Explore various options for clinical therapies, and
- Continuously expand and refine their knowledge base and refine their expertise to advance care.
Patients benefit from the collective experience of several specialists and the research prowess of a nationally renowned academic medical center, gaining improved opportunities for remission and cure.
The virtual tumor board project
The Virtual Tumor Board Project was founded by Dr. Frederick Meyers, an internationally known hematology and oncology researcher at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, with major funding from Blue Shield of California Foundation and support from the UC Davis Cancer Care Network sites.

Definition of caliper in English:
1 (calipers) An instrument for measuring external or internal dimensions, having two hinged legs resembling a pair of compasses and in-turned or out-turned points.
- At 2000 h every day, chicks were weighed on the precision balance, and their tarsus length measured by using a pair of calipers.
- The fossil trackway was measured using calipers; measurements consisted of the total external width, internal width, and the width of both right and left tracks.
- After measuring with a pair of calipers the total length of a feather to the nearest 0.01 mm, we determined average width of the 10 growth bars centered on the point two-thirds of the feather's length from the proximal end.
1.1 (also caliper rule) An instrument for measuring having one linear component sliding along another, with two parallel jaws and a vernier scale.
- Vernier calipers, that measure to 0.2 cm, are available from precision engineering stores for $A500 and may be used.
- Cook recommends taking baseline data with a tape measure instead of fat calipers or scales.
- Livers were removed and the depth of necrosis was measured using Vernier calipers.
1.2 (also brake caliper) A motor-vehicle or bicycle brake consisting of two or more hinged components.
- If you are a stickler for quiet brakes, you can also cut out shim washers for spacing the brake caliper brake mounts on the frame or fork.
- The additional weight is attributed to the brake system, which will consist of an aluminum brake caliper, steel rotor and pad, as well as the limited slip differential in the gearbox.
- The cause of the accident was a foreign body which got jammed between the brake caliper and the inside of a wheel rim and machined a groove into the rim which caused an immediate failure.
2 (also caliper splint) A metal support for a person’s leg.
- The witness against the government of Iraq walked stiffly into the room, metal callipers buckled to heavy medical shoes.
- Specialist equipment such as splints, callipers and braces can help with paralysis and contractures.

Second Annual Bob Probert Memorial Ride, a huge success
The Second Annual Bob Probert Memorial Ride was held today in downtown Windsor. This annual motorcycle fundraiser creates awareness and raises much needed funds for the Cardiac Angoplasty Program at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital. Pictured above are (L to R) Tierney Probert, Declyn Probert and Leslie Parkinson. Back row is Dan Parkinson.
Windsor - June 24, 2012 - The Second Annual Bob Probert Memorial Ride was held today in downtown Windsor. This annual motorcycle fundraiser creates awareness and raises much needed funds for the Cardiac Angoplasty Program at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital.
This year’s ride attracted well over 1,000 riders and followed a scenic route throughout Windsor, its waterfront and country settings, showcasing the beauty of the city and surrounding areas.
Last year marked the Inaugural event for The Bob Probert Memorial Ride. The first fundraising event was a huge success, seeing $100,000 raised for Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital. Final numbers for this year’s event will be released in the coming days.
The areas of Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex rank numbers one and two in Ontario in the loss of life to heart disease. Heart disease has recently overtaken breast cancer as the leading cause of death amongst women.
Former NHL Player Sheldon Kennedy was named the Ride Captain and spoke highly of Probert and the importance of today’s ride. There were many current and former NHL players here today including Chris Chelios, Ed Mio, Tony Amonte, Ryan Wilson and Kennedy.
There were also a number of Cornwall connections at today’s event. Cornwall Police Chief Dan Parkinson’s daughter Dani, was married to Probert for 17 years. Parkinson and his wife Leslie, were in attendance in Windsor today. A pair of former Cornwall Royals players and NHL alumni also attended to show their support. Hall of Famer Doug Gilmour and tough guy Ryan Vandenbusche
Bob Probert is a local Windsor hockey icon, who played in the National Hockey League for 16 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks. Probert played 935 regular season games, 81 playoff games and one All Star game scoring 163 goals, 221 assists and amassed 3,300 penalty minutes. Probert who is regarded as one of the premier enforcers in the history of the game, died suddenly of a heart attack on July 5, 2010.
Congratulations to all on a very successful event. Below are a few pictures of today’s fundraiser.

Beware of Summer Lightning
< Jul. 13, 2011 > -- Summer is the time to enjoy the great outdoors - but keep an eye on the sky. Lightning in summer thunderstorms can be deadly.
"Lightning is one of the most dangerous and frequently encountered weather hazards," says Sandra M. Schneider, M.D., president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
Thunderstorms - and the lightning that accompanies them - are common in summer months, as higher air temperatures make the atmosphere more unstable. About 80 people in the U.S. are killed by lightning each year, and 300 more are injured. Those that survive a lightning strike may end up with permanent injuries such as eye or ear damage, headaches, or memory problems.
"Use common sense," Dr. Schneider says. "If you plan to be outdoors, check the local weather forecast. Generally, if you can hear thunder, you are at risk, even if you don't see lightning. … Seek shelter when those storms roll through."
How to stay safe
ACEP offers these tips to help avoid getting struck by lightning:
Stay inside during a storm. If you are outdoors when a storm comes up, take shelter as soon as possible. Choose a building that has plumbing and wiring, or a car that's not a convertible.
Inside the house, turn off and stay away from electrical appliances, televisions, computers, and power tools. Keep your distance from the fireplace as well.
If possible, use cell phones and cordless phones rather than landline telephones with cords.
If you are swimming or in water, get on dry land.
Keep away from metal objects.
Wait 30 minutes from the last lightning flash before returning to your outdoor activities.
If you are with someone who is struck by lightning, call 911 and begin CPR immediately if the person doesn't have a pulse. Give 100 chest compressions a minute for an adult, and 30 compressions alternating with two breaths per minute for a child.
For more information on health and wellness, please visit health information modules on this website.
Camping with Safety in Mind
It's summertime, when many families head for the hills, fields, and forests. Planning ahead and being safety-conscious while in the wild can keep everyone safe and secure. Here are suggestions from the American Red Cross:
Pick your campsite with safety in mind. Look for level ground sheltered by surrounding trees and rocks, if possible. To avoid lightning strikes, don't set up under the tallest tree.
Be fire smart. If a fire is allowed, choose a spot at a safe distance from your tent and dry brush. Make sure someone watches a fire at all times and has access to an adequate water supply to take action if it gets out of control.
Dispose of trash properly. Unless there's onsite disposal, plan on packing your garbage and storing it away from your tent until you leave, to keep critters at bay. Then, take it home and toss it.
Check yourself for ticks and other insects. They can carry diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Stay hydrated. To avoid dehydration in hot weather, drink more water than you think you need. Plan difficult hikes or activities in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.

The appointment of Representative Christopher Cox to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission is as shameful as sending John Bolton to the United Nations, and should arouse a comparable swell of objections. Cox is a wholly owned agent of the financial and corporate interests the SEC is supposed to regulate. His political career has been financed by the same sectors–banking, accounting, corporate–that produced scandals like Enron and WorldCom. In return, he’s worked to shield his patrons from the scrutiny of the government regulators, whom they duped, and the shareholders, whom they swindled.
Bush and his White House are beyond shame, of course. Their “code of honor” is as straightforward as the Mafia’s: Always protect ideological kinfolk; always reward monied friends. What’s public policy got to do with it? Or a decent respect for public values? The Bush cynics are assuming they can fog this one past Congress without awakening the public. Many Americans were deeply injured by the criminal collaborations of financiers and money-crazed CEOs. Yet the SEC is not well-known, its crucial role in policing Wall Street not widely understood. If the cynics prove correct and Cox is confirmed, replacing resigning chairman William Donaldson, George W. Bush will become an unindicted co-conspirator in this looting.
Bush intends to shut down any further possibility for reform, much to the relief of his patrons in corporate boardrooms and leading banks, plus their propagandists at the Business Roundtable, the US Chamber of Commerce and the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. What scandal? These things happen in capitalism; get over it, losers. The financial-market casino will be open again for business, relieved of the modestly stiffened supervision adopted in law and regulation after the stench of Enron et al. Bring back your savings, suckers, and take another chance.
Donaldson was not exactly a reform tiger but rather a traditionalist Republican and Wall Street blue blood sincerely shocked by the scale and breadth of his industry’s dishonesty and grand larceny. So he sided on occasion with the two Democratic commissioners, and they adopted tougher rules for mutual funds and corporate reporting, as well as other measures. After Wall Street titans began a drumbeat of attacks a year ago, Donaldson tried to appease them, stalling on crucial reforms that would have given shareholder institutions like public pension funds greater leverage to curb reckless CEOs. But the dons offed him anyway.
Papering over the greatest set of financial scandals since the 1920s will eventually be ranked among Bush’s most destructive accomplishments. Democrats should wake up from their own complicities with high finance and choose the side of popular outrage, discarding the usual bipartisan presumption that members of Congress get an easy ride on confirmation to high positions.
Bush’s blatant payback to the corporate and financial guys contradicts all the standard claims of the US financial system: transparency, trustworthy information and markets, and timely accountability to ordinary shareholders, who are said to be the true “owners” of American corporations. It also mocks Bush’s own rhetoric about creating an “ownership society”: Yes, you can buy and own something called a stock share, but don’t imagine that gives you any right to mess with the moguls who run these organizations, or expect reliable facts from them. At great personal expense, a lot of Americans have learned the contrary truth about Wall Street in the past few years. Now they need to turn that knowledge on the “goodfellas” in Washington.

Originally posted on Winningmark.com.
For most non-profit organizations, building and updating a website can be a daunting task. Organizations often have little time and even less money. As Oregon’s leading LGBTQ rights organization, Basic Rights Oregon (BRO) has shown with their recent website update that with a little bit of web savvy and know-how you can go a long way. With a of budget of $5,000, they were able to make a cost effective upgrade that looks great and didn’t break the bank.
Is your organization looking to make a meaningful web upgrade? Read through these pointers from Basic Rights’ Director of Finance and Administration, Dan Yonker. Is there anything you would add?
Basic Rights Oregon has three main organizational programs: Marriage Equality, Trans Justice, and Racial Justice. Additionally, they have years of content and a vibrant social community which helps them receive new and repeat traffic each month. When planning the revision of their website, it was crucial to take all of these aspects into account. Some website goals Dan shared with us included:
- To stay within budget – $5,000.
- To make the website easy for people to navigate.
- To include lots of photos and video.
- To have all staff able to develop content which can be easily added to the website.
- To create a website that people will want to come back to on a frequent basis to see what’s new and exciting in the world of Basic Rights Oregon.
To begin the web upgrade, BRO needed to decide which web platform they wanted to use. They enlisted their tech guru Alycia Dasmann, who owns her own software company and has been helping Basic Rights with their technology needs for the past 15 years. Because of their limited budget (especially limited design budget), Alycia recommended using a WordPress template. From Dan:
“We had a very small budget – $5,000. My understanding is that development of a new website is broken out into two main areas: coding and design. Alycia recommended that we come up with a list of criteria for what we wanted the new website to do and then she would do some research and find a couple of templates that would meet all (or most) of our criteria. She found three options: Solostream’s WP Prosper, Studiopress’s Delicious and the Thesis framework. We narrowed this down to the Solostream and the Studiopress and then did a presentation to the staff and everyone overwhelmingly preferred the Solostream.”
Words of wisdom
Before you tear down your current site, it’s important to take into account things that are working well on your website and things you would like to adjust. Make a plan, set goals and stick to them. Here is what Dan has to say about the importance of keeping your website up-to-date and we tend to agree:
“I think its easy to overlook the importance of your website with the reliance on other forms of media (Facebook and Twitter). But there are still a lot of people who rely on getting information about the work your organization is doing directly from the website. So I say go for it! There are tons of templates available for super cheap (I think ours cost less than $200). [Other] nonprofits would have to find somebody with the technical expertise who would be willing to work within the constraints of their budget and time line. Definitely shop around, get quotes, ask lots of questions.”
Many of WordPress’ themes are free or available for a relatively low cost. Themes help with the design and navigation of the website, cutting development time and cost drastically. Instead of designing every fraction of your website (and risking it being a bit clunky) your organization is able to choose a theme and get started almost immediately.
In need of tech support? WordPress has a great support section and a large community of experts who are willing to help with any issue you might come across. For those that are doing a bit more code than the average user, check out WordPress’s codex resource.

Halloween crept up on us this year. Last year we were scheming and sewing a month in advance (Queen of Hearts for a Day). This year’s Halloween prep was more spontaneous. It came together in one evening – Thursday the 27th – for a Halloween after school happy hour of sorts we planned to host Friday the 28th.
Calvin, my 11 year-old son, out of football and basketball for two weeks due to an injury, clearly sought another outlet for all of his excess energy. He channeled it into last-minute party planning inspired by Yummly, a place to search, archive and share sourced recipes from a whole host of top recipe sites like Delicious Table and Six Sisters’ Stuff.
After perusing Yummly for a half-hour, he saved 12 recipes into a folder we created in the Yummly app we titled Halloween ’16. I talked him down to seven recipes (after all, we hadn’t even invited anyone to the party that was to happen right after school on Friday). He made a spreadsheet and I quickly went through the ingredient list for each recipe. With our shopping list set, we were off to Target by 6:30p.m.
In addition to the ingredients, we picked up some treat bags and table decor and started our party project by 7:45p.m. The recipes that made the final cut included:
Halloween Chex Mix (Jam Hands)
Halloween Chocolate Pumpkin Cake (Aberdeen’s Kitchen)
Crescent Mummy Dogs (Pillsbury)
Halloween Graveyard Pudding Cups (Six Sisters’ Stuff)
Spider Oreos (La Jolla Mom)
Halloween Oreo Stuffed Brownies (Boston Girl Bakes) (the only one we didn’t make)
Haunted Halloween Witches Brew Party Punch (Delicious Table)
Calvin would have stayed up into the wee hours if I hadn’t set a firm stop time of 10:00p.m. (in reality it was more like 10:30). He started with the Spider Oreos — pulling the Golden Oreo Double Stuffed cookies apart, placing the pretzel stick legs on the open-faced bottom of the cookie, adding some additional melted frosting (cream cheese) or what I like to call “baking glue,” securing the top and adding the mini M&M eyes.
Then we tackled the cake. Wow, 21 ingredients and way more elaborate than I anticipated. No going back now — this would be the main attraction. We mixed so much that my average mixer was fully maxed with enough batter to fill three 8″ rounds (a mixer the next size up is going on my Christmas list). While the cakes baked, we moved on to the Halloween Chex Mix, a thankfully simple recipe. Cal melted white chocolate chips in the microwave, measured 5 ingredients, mixed them up and placed on a cookie sheet to harden.
By this time it was already 10:15p.m. Cal signed off for bed, but not before reviewing the baking plan with me first: So you’ll finish the pudding cups and mummy dogs tonight? I confirmed that was the plan.
I was on my own. With a clean mixer ready for round two, I mixed the Halloween cake frosting including orange juice and sifted powdered sugar (of which I had exactly 4 cups, just as the recipe called for). This went into the fridge for the early morning frosting step after cakes had sufficiently cooled.
Moving onto to the pudding cups, I mixed the chocolate instant pudding (dry mix and 2 c milk) and let it set while I took on the challenge of crushing orange frosting filled Oreo Double Stuffs. They do not crush well. I came back to the pudding mixture that set within 6 minutes and folded in the Cool Whip. The pudding mix then went into the clear small cups and the Oreo mix, painstakingly recrushed, comprised the next layer (regular Oreo crushing, much easier). The R. I. P. tombstone detailing and pumpkin candy adds would have to wait for the next day.
The cakes came out of the oven at 11:17p.m. and clean up began. I ended with a clearing of our dining room table and setting of the $3 Target orange and black striped tablecloth, spider web plates and napkins by midnight.
The next morning, Calvin and I were up a bit earlier than the ushe, frosting the cake. After softening the frosting made the night before in the microwave, I added the cakes layer by layer, spread the frosting and returned it to the fridge to set. We brought out serving platters and set up the treats we could — Spider Oreos and Halloween Chex Mix. He was then off to school and I off to work.
Of the handful of friends we invited Thursday late eve, three were able to attend. They were planning to come home on the bus so before Calvin left for school, he set some high standards for what I was to achieve during the day. I cautioned that I most likely wouldn’t be home, nor have the time. As it turned out, I arrived home 30 seconds before they did. We rolled with it.
The boys grabbed one of the snacks and disappeared for awhile. I finished the chocolate ganache frosting for the cake and set in all of the goodies, then it went back into the fridge to set. I then tackled the R.I.P. tombstones while Calvin popped in to make the Haunted Halloween Witches Brew Party Punch (3 ingredients — easy!). Next up, the mummy dogs. My 13 year-old, Ava, stepped in to help with the wraps and into the oven they went.
By 5:00p.m. Calvin’s last friend had arrived, so they all came to the table in a quick flash to sample all but the cake — that would come later. I headed out around 5:30 for an event and left my husband in charge. They were really quite an easy bunch. When I arrived home at 8:30p.m., all but one boy had left and remnants of cake enjoyed were scattered about the table. I cleaned up and enjoyed a piece of cake and a tall glass of milk, gathering energy to think about Halloween Phase II: costumes!
After all of the guests had left, Calvin and I recapped the eats. He thanked me many times during the process and after for taking the time and making the effort. It was fun to reconnect with him in the kitchen (see also #KidsintheKitchen – a hashtag to follow some of our ventures, on Instagram via @jengilhoi). We get into a rhythm and I appreciate and welcome his creativity as another collaborator to make baking and party planning fun. I’m seeing chef in his future…. A mom can dream.
— Here’s to more Halloween fun in years to come. Happy Halloween everyone!

This evolving technology promises faster deployment, lower costs
and improved IT staff productivity.
Hyperconverged data centers were once a niche technology that mostly appealed to organizations with specialized needs, such as streamlining the management of small and branch offices. Today, many enterprises are now recognizing the value of transitioning their conventional data centers into hyperconverged facilities.
Gartner reports that by 2018 hyperconverged integrated systems will represent as much as 35 percent of total converged infrastructure shipments by revenue, up from a low single-digit base in 2015. Download this white paper to learn more!

'Chess has taught me patience and planning. When you play chess, you normally plan 15 to 16 moves in advance.'
Yuzvendra Chahal is indebted to his days as a chess player which taught him to pre-empt the batsman's moves and captain Virat Kohli feels this ability makes the leg-spinner stand out among his peers.
Chahal had an impressive World Cup debut against South Africa, picking 4/51 in India's six-wicket victory in Southampton on Wednesday.
"Chess has taught me patience and planning. When you play chess, you normally plan 15 to 16 moves in advance. Ditto when you bowl to a player like Faf (du Plessis), you need to plan whether to bowl a googly or a flipper, which are the deliveries they are picking and the ones they can't pick," Chahal said after the match.
He cited the dismissal of Faf du Plessis which he had planned after analysing the South African skipper's approach.
"I loved the manner in which I dismissed Faf. Since I was getting my deliveries to drift, I planned bowling a slider on off-stump and he didn't read," said Chahal.
He first shot into prominence during his first year at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2014, having mostly warmed the benches at Mumbai Indians previously.
"He is one bowler who will never say no to bowling irrespective of any situation in the match," his captain was all praise for him after the South Africa game.
"He is ready to bowl in Powerplays. If you keep seven fielders inside the circle, even then he is ready. He has a very high degree of self belief and the way he thinks about the game is very different from others," Kohli added.
While the skipper lauded his ability to soak in pressure, Chahal credited it to the pace department, which has relentlessly attacked the opposition.
"I give credit to our pacemen for setting it up as when myself and Kuldeep come into the attack, there is far less pressure on us," said Chahal.
But game awareness is something that is difficult to buy and Chahal has it in abundance.
"He is fully aware about the behaviour of the pitch and what needs to be done. That is his strength. Whatever he has achieved today, the credit solely goes to him as all he had done is to bowl his heart out," said Kohli.

Just as with fashion and hairstyles, the decades if our lives are documented by food. Comfort food was big in the 1950s. The 60s and 70s gave way to natural foods, where everything had the texture of saw dust, smelled slightly musty, and looked like deer droppings.
The 80s were marked by high fashion and sophisticated food. This carried through to the early 90s, By the mid 90s, we all decided to go organic. The fastest way to tell if a food is organic is by the price. If something costs more ten to twenty times more than its counterpart, it's probably organic. Of course these foods are untainted by preservatives.
By the time a woman reaches menopause, she doesn't want natural or organic. She wants real food with real names that she can pronounce. Exotic foods with unpronouncable names be damned. I want steak. Baked potatoes with real sour cream. And cake that doesn't taste like sawdust.
Bring on the preservatives. Women of a certain age welcome preservatives. We know they will increase our shelf life. At a time when our skin is drying up along with our insides, we need all the artificial help we can get.

Hailing heroes at both ends of the rink, Guildford Flames became the first side to bring down English Premier League leaders Manchester Phoenix.
With the sides deadlocked at 2-2, netminder Mark Lee saved a penalty shot with five minutes left of Saturday’s eagerly-awaited clash between the top two at Spectrum, giving Tom Duggan the chance to snatch a 3-2 victory.
But Flames were not able to celebrate for long, as Manchester - who had skated into the weekend buoyed by an eight-game winning streak - wreaked revenge less than 24 hours later with a 7-4 victory back in the north west.
Head coach Paul Dixon enthused: “It was a great weekend of hockey. People certainly got their money’s worth at Spectrum in terms of an exciting, entertaining game that even had the suspense of a penalty shot save and then the winner with not much time left.
“Manchester are an exceptionally skilled side and we always look forward to challenging ourselves against a team of their calibre. As good sides do, they bounced right back and earned a win.”
Flames forward Curtis Huppe opened the scoring on 17 minutes to put Flames a goal up in the opener.
Duggan doubled the lead just before the close of the first period before Phoenix stormed back in the middle frame to draw level through James Archer (24) and Robert Schnabel (39).
During a late Flames powerplay, the game hung in the balance when the visitors were awarded their penalty shot, but Lee turned aside Archer’s strike and then saw Duggan grab the winner.
Twice Flames came from a goal behind in Sunday’s return through Ben Campbell and Duggan before Dean Holland edged them in front in the 27th minute.
But Phoenix, who had netted earlier through Tony Hand and Andy McKinney, then hit back with unanswered goals from Michal Psurny, Luke Boothroyd and Robin Kovar to lead 5-3.
Psurny extended the advantage and later completed his hat-trick after Marcus Kristoffersson had pulled one back for Flames.
Dixon reflected: “Even though we lost on Sunday we played well for two periods and maybe just ran out of steam a bit in the third.
"We had many chances and could have had ourselves in the lead earlier on in the game, but they made something of their chances in spots where we did not and put us in the difficult position of playing catch up most of the evening.
“We are not happy with losing that game, but overall we had a good weekend and we can be pleased with a split against a team that entered without a loss this season.
"There was a lot of good stuff to take from these efforts and we look forward to carrying it into our next games.”

Washington, D.C. – In the wake of the May 25 murder of George Floyd under the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis, the National Association of Manufacturers’ Executive Committee unanimously voted to pass the Pledge for Action, an 11-point commitment plan for manufacturers to advance justice, equality and opportunity for black people and all people of color.
“My heart is heavy with recent events,” said Michael W. Lamach, chairman and CEO of Trane Technologies and chair of the NAM Board of Directors. “While the killing of George Floyd sparked this outcry, this is a crisis that has gone unaddressed for far too long. We introduced this Pledge for Action to demonstrate our companies’, our association’s and our industry’s commitment to being part of the solution and to stand against injustice and create a better future for the black community and all communities of color.”
Around the country and throughout the world, George Floyd’s death has spurred protest and action, highlighting the inescapable inequities that are too often downplayed and brushed aside by those with the power to make a difference.
Merck Chairman and CEO Ken Frazier addressed the June 11 Executive Committee meeting. He noted that, “Opportunity and equality have the power to change the course of not only an individual’s life, but of history. Through education, I was given the chance to overcome the opportunity gap that exists in this country, and I believe that this pledge, if taken to heart by the NAM members, can do the same for thousands of Americans and in particular African Americans.”
The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce and education partner of the NAM, will continue to support manufacturers’ efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace and to deliver on these new commitments. The MI, via its Diversity and Inclusion Pillar, will be deploying tools, resources and knowledge to help manufacturers put actions to their words and build more inclusive workplaces.
“This is a difficult time for our country, and manufacturers all have a role to be part of the solution—in our homes, in our companies and in our local communities,” said Chuck Wetherington, BTE Technologies president, NAM Executive Committee member and Small and Medium Manufacturers Group chair. “Our businesses are the hearts and souls of the communities where we live, and we have a responsibility to act. With this pledge, we are making a commitment to do what is right and urgently needed.”
As leaders who represent manufacturers in the United States, the NAM recognizes the integral role our industry has historically played in lifting up people and communities, and the opportunity and obligation we have now to stand with and support all people who face injustice.
“Manufacturers will do our part. All of us must recognize the systemic inequality and racism that black people in America face—and the role we must play in ending it. This industry is committed to delivering the change our nation needs,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons.
Highlights from the Pledge for Action include the following:
- We will strengthen our workplaces as spaces where black people and all people of color will be heard, respected and celebrated.
- We will work to improve and increase representation of black people and all people of color at all levels of our companies and organizations—entry level, midlevel and senior level.
- We will expand education, training and scholarship opportunities in the manufacturing industry for black people and all people of color.
- We will remove barriers and open doors to modern manufacturing careers for those inside prisons and for those reentering society.
- We will encourage increased minority participation in democracy through voting, advocacy and other opportunities for influence.
- We will diversify the supply chain by providing equal opportunity for black-owned and minority-owned enterprises to do business with us.
To read the full Pledge for Action, visit nam.org/pledgeforaction.
The National Association of Manufacturers is the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states. Manufacturing employs more than 11.7 million men and women, contributes $2.37 trillion to the U.S. economy annually and has the largest economic multiplier of any major sector and accounts for 63% of private-sector research and development. The NAM is the powerful voice of the manufacturing community and the leading advocate for a policy agenda that helps manufacturers compete in the global economy and create jobs across the United States.

US 3337958 A
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Aug. 29, 1967 J- J. STIFTER 3,337,958
ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE Filed May 6, 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 INVENTOR. John 1/. St/f'zer Aug. 29, :1967 J. J. STIFTER 3,337,958
ORTHODDNT IC APPLIANCE FiledlzMay 6, 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. John d. St/fter ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,337,958 .ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE John J. Stifter, 33084 Lake Road,
Avon Lake, Ohio 44012 Filed May 6, 1965, Ser. No. 453,797 4 Claims. (Cl. 32-14 My invention relates to an orthodontic appliance and relates more particularly to those devices known as face bows or extra oral arches, etc.
It is an object of my invention to provide improved face bows, etc. of the type referred to which will have improved corrective effect.
It is a further object of my invention to provide face bows, etc. of the type referred to which will provide greater comfort to the wearer than prior art face bows with which I am familiar.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an extra-oral arch which is relatively strong and in which breakage is eliminated.
Yet another object is to provide a face bow wherein the outer member of the face bow lies at a different plane than the plane of the inner member thereof, providing both greater comfort and diflerent placement, as desired.
Still a further object is to provide a face bow of the type referred to which exerts high elastic pull.
A further object is to provide a face bow which will be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, being composed of but few parts, and yet highly eflicient and durable in use.
Other objects of my invention and the invention itself will be more readily apparent from a purview of the appended description, in which description reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1a is a cross-sectional view taken along plane 1a'1a of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 shows a plan view of another modification of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 shows a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 2.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, in all of which like parts are designated by like reference characters, and referring more particularly to the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, at I show a face bow having an outer U-shaped spring wire member 11 and an inner U-shaped spring wire member 12; the said outer member 11 is secured to the inner member 12 by a coupling 13 having a pair of vertically spaced horizontally extending tubular passages 14 and 15 therein through which the wire members 11 and 12 are passed.
The coupling and wires encompassed thereby are then bent on a radius to crimp the wires 11 and 12 securing the same in place. On either side of said coupling in the form of FIGS. 1 and 3, the inner brace 12 is provided with a preferably S-form loop 16, 16 forming hooks for high pull tension or elastic devices for the anterior teeth, said loops 16, 16 allowing the inner member 12 of the bow to lie in two different planes, one designated at a and one at b, the plane a being disposed above and the plane b preferably disposed below the plane of the outer bow member 11. It is contemplated that the plane a and the plane b need not be disposed above and below the plane of the outer bow member 11 but could be disposed in different planes, which planes might, for example, both be above or both be below the plane of the outer how or coupling portion of the bow 17 to be disposed in the plane of the lips rather than requiring the lips to be open when the bow is inserted into the mouth.
In the form of FIGS. 2 and 4, in lieu of the S-shaped loops, the wire is bent into generally M-shaped hooks 18, 18 affording an attachment for auxiliary horizontal and vertical anterior elastic members (not shown) which afford anterior torque control of the anterior teeth.
In the form of FIGS. 1 and 3, the wire of the outer bow member 11 is provided with circular spring loops or coils 19, 19 to permit an overall constant pressure to be applied against the patients teeth. In the form of FIGS. 2 and 4, S-shaped curves 20, 20 are employed for similar effect.
The bow member 11 in each of the forms of my invention is provided on either side of the coupling rear- Wardly of the loops or coils 19, 19 or, in the case of the form of FIGS. 2 and 4, rearwardly of the S-loops 20, 20, with face conforming portions 21, 22, 23 generally angled or bent with respect to each other; and the opposite ends or legs 24 of the bow member 11 are provided with inwardly extending hooks 25, 25 for attachment to an elastic head band (not shown) which with the outer bow member completes a loop around the patients head, in a manner well known in the art.
It will be observed that the present invention dispenses with soldering, brazing, welding, etc. either the outer or inner wires of the bow and thus precludes loss of temper and resultant breakage of the bow. It will further be noted that the device is so formed as to be carried in the mouth in a natural position whereby the lips may be held in a natural open or closed position without interference. The outer member of the bow, etc. device is further conformed to the contour of the face for greater comfort of the wearer.
While I have described my invention in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that various changes may be made therein without, however, de parting from the spirit of my invention or the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. An orthodontic appliance comprising a first U- shaped spring wire member adapted to be positioned inside a wearers mouth in front of the wearers teeth, a second U-shaped wire member having end portions adapted to be attached to a head band at the rear of a wearers head, a coupling having a pair of elongated passageways therethrough, said passageways being spaced vertically Within the coupling, portions of said first and second U- shaped spring Wire members being disposed Within respective of said passageways, said coupling portions of wire encompassed within the said passageways being arcuately bent to secure the wires against displacement in such coupling, the said first U-shaped Wire member having a pair of fiat portions lying in spaced parallel planes, one of the spaced flat portions of the first member lying below the plane of the second U-shaped wire member, and the other of said spaced flat portions lying above the plane of said second U-shaped Wire member.
2. The orthodontic appliance of claim 1, wherein the said pair of said first U-shaped wire member portions are joined by S-shaped loop portions.
3. The orthodontic appliance of claim 1, wherein the said pair of said first U-shaped wire member portions are joined by generally M-shaped portions.
4. An orthodontic appliance comprising a first U- shaped wire member adapted to be positioned inside a Wearers mouth in front of the Wearers teeth, a second U-shaped wire member having end portions adapted to be attached to a head band at the rear of a Wearers head, a coupling member connecting portions of said first and second U-shaped wire members to each other, said first U-shaped wire member having a pair of fiat portions lying in spaced, parallel planes, one of said fiat portions lying below the plane of said second U-shaped wire mem her, and the other of said spaced flat portions lying above the plane of said second U-shaped wire member.

With all the attention on Vancouver with the Olympics, one can’t overlook the capital of British Columbia the beautiful Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
There is something enchanting about this city surrounded by water. Walking the old cobble stone streets, looking at the old buildings and listening to the sound of the waves hit the rocks. English influenced, the Fairmont Empress Hotel is a world famous place for an exquisite afternoon tea. Victoria is the oldest city in British Columbia that began as a trading post for the Hudson Bay Company, and was named in honor of Queen Victoria. Voted by Condé Nast Traveller magazine, it was judged to be one of the world’s best cities.

In The Book of Murdock by Loren D. Estleman, no-nonsense deputy Page Murdock goes undercover as a traveling preacher. After a two-week crash course in religion from a defrocked priest, Murdock is sent to Texas -- a place he hates on all levels -- to try to track down a gang of ruthless bandits that have been terrorizing the area. In the process his cover begins to unravel when he encounters an old girlfriend and her husband, who somehow are mixed up with the bandits. The caustic, whiskey-drinking Murdock is also surprised to find that he has become a favorite of the locals with his Sunday sermons. Though not as action-packed as some, this story has a clever plot and a satisfying conclusion.

|Action 14 page 8 preliminary|
It's the big kahuna of our industry of superpowered beings.
I should, if I had any sense, have been completely awestruck and intimidated by the proposal; but as I've stated in other interviews, I was expecting one thing but got another and then I went into pro-mode that carried me through the series. Pro-mode is when I go into a zone of necessary items that a book needs and in that zone, you don't even think of the character in a way a fan does; it's all nuts and bolts by then.
It's easier, I suppose, to do your version of things and justify it based on it being new and improved. Characters like Brainiac, Metal-0, Mr. Mxyzptlk (Vyndktvx, actually), and even Luthor are pieces of cake because villians are more or less like the supporting cast and changes are, if not expected, accepted.
But in Superman, it's a loooooong history of hundreds of artists who have had varying success in translating this character. It was up to me to do my impression of him and make it sound and reasonable. Not that difficult, there is a template, but if you get it wrong...oh boy, it's obvious.
Luckily I was able to manage it without ruffling too many feathers and for the most part I'm ok with what I've done (although we artists ALWAYS think of things we coulda, whoulda, or shoulda done better- it's our curse), and from what I've gleaned, most of you guys felt ok with it too.
|Action 17 double page spread|
Now, I know I've said that I thought Superman sucked when I started this series, and I have to reiterate, it was the DIRECTION he had been in that I thought sucked and NOT the character or the supporting cast; although characters like Jimmy Olson sorely needed to be addressed. A brilliant move to make him Clark's contemporary and not a subservient. I love that Lois remained untouched, she's perfectly fine. I liked that we got George Taylor involved as well as Ferlin Nyxly....it was nice to see old characters from way back come forth and take another bow.
All in all it was a solid run, with exception that it was difficult to stay on from issue to issue. It's not acceptable to be as inconsistent as I have and I apologize for my part in that. Some things were absolutely unavoidable, and some I can't comment since it involves others and I won't speak for them, but I know how it's looked and as much as I would have like for some things to have been different, it wasn't in the cards this time around. I hope it hasn't spoiled your enjoyment too badly and in the end I look back and think we did an ok job of it. You can thank Matt Idelson and Wil Moss for keeping the seams from coming apart.
|Action 14 page 11|
I'm not sure when I can talk about my next project, but it's a one issue deal that has repercussions to come. After that, I have something I'd love to do that I approached Tony Bedard to write. Still waiting on that approval.
See ya in the funny pages!

|Acidbomb 2: Rearmed ||Vertigo Games, Mr. Chubigans||Puzzle||24.6 MB||Click here to download|
Acidbomb 2: Rearmed is the latest puzzler by Mr. Chubigans, developer of Vivid Conceptions and Sandbox of God. Much like it's prequel, your objective is to defuse bombs in multiple locations by using advanced deduction skills and quick thinking.
Beams of light can be moved around to reveal the number of pistons underneath each line of tiles. Just like Minesweeper, you can left click to mark a tile as safe or right click to designate one as a piston. The number of pistons in each level is displayed on the top right of the screen. Press the enter key to reduce the countdown to ten seconds.
It is recommended to play the original Acidbomb before attempting it's successor. Made with the intention to distribute over the Playstation Network via Playstation 3.

|Metanet Software||Platformer||1.26 MB||Click here to download|
N is a platformer featuring a ninja with the ability to climb or slide down walls and run at amazing speed. The basic objective is to survive five rooms filled with traps and danger in each episode, with a different maze design introduced in every level to challenge the player's reflexes and quick thinking.
Collecting a piece of gold increases the allowable episode completion time by two seconds. Progress is automatically saved when an episode is completed. Tutorials and help sections are supplied to assist beginners, plus a healthy and active community continues to provide a continous supply of new content and custom creations.
|A House in California ||Jake Elliott, Cardboard Computer||Adventure||Browser||Click here to play|
A House in California is a surreal, narrative game about four characters who bring a house to life. These four characters are based the developer's relatives (two grandmothers and two great-grandmothers). The game is inspired aesthetically by Mystery House, developed in 1980 by Roberta and Ken Williams. But whereas Mystery House is a mystery story about greed and murder, A House in California is more like an Imagist poem about family and memory.
|Ghosts of Aliens ||Swordofkings128||RPG||82.2 MB||Click here to download|
Ghosts of Aliens is a full-length RPG which has been in production for nearly an entire year, featuring music by one of the developers credited with creating the post-cyberpocalyptic basketball epic, Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. Playing as the ghost of an alien named Atum, the story tells the tale of this restless soul who is given another chance at life, granted that he undertakes a quest to defeat the five Doom Beasts and save the world of Appalathia.
Use the Z key to run or select a menu option, and press the X key to cancel a choice or bring up your inventory screen. Press the left alt and enter key at the same time to switch between windowed and full screen mode. Progress can be saved at any time.
Combat is mostly negligible, as enemies encountered during the early part of the game only requires two hits or less before surrendering to you. Bosses can be easily defeated using your strongest Magle, while Quencheleth are readily available for purchase from item shops located in towns scattered all over Appalathia. There is however one particular dungeon that will most likely cause excruciating frustration, since entering this area inside a tree will end your adventure in less than two seconds if you're not equipped with the Mark IV blocker. In here, players would have to be mindful of their steps as well, as touching traps would pretty much wipe out all party members without warning.
Ghosts of Aliens isn't without faults and bugs, but anyone who is willing to persevere might find a couple of pleasant surprises to be had with this adventure. The RPG Maker 2000 Font Patch can be used to fix font display problems, but note that the program doesn't come with an uninstaller.
|Stair Dismount |
- Windows, Mac, Linux
|Jetro Lauha||Action/Arcade||2.19 MB||Click here to download|
Stair Dismount is a computer game made by Jetro Lauha of tAAt. It is a physics game where the goal is maximising the damage done to a 3D stick figure. The player causes damage by briefly applying a force to the figure to make it fall down a staircase.
The stick figure's falls are accompanied by various sound effects - cracks, wails and groans - as it makes its way to the bottom. Stair Dismount uses ragdoll physics, so the figure is very floppy as it falls, like a ragdoll.
The game was first published in Assembly 2002, where it won the first prize in the game development competition. The newest version, 1.0.3, is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
|Strange Adventures in Infinite Space |
- Windows, Mac
|Digital Eel||Strategy||7.87 MB||Click here to download|
Digital Eel's Strange Adventures in Infinite Space is a space exploration game in which you play an unemployed space pilot, hired by a smuggler to embark on a dangerous ten-year mission in the Sector Prime system. Your employer is willing to part with handsome rewards for any discoveries that you find during this dangerous journey, but return to him late and you will be charged extra in ship rental costs.
The map is randomized every time you play, and interplanetary travel is initiated by left-clicking on a nearby star and pressing the engage button. Your ship can only travel in a straight line, and flying through the Purple Void nebula will only slow you down even further.
Combat is conducted in real-time, with information about the current ship selected shown on the left side of the screen during a space battle. The green bar indicates your shield status, which recharges automatically during combat. The orange bar shows your ship's condition, and when this gauge runs out the ship is pretty much reduced to space debris.
Both the Windows and Mac versions of SAIS are now available as free downloads, and there are a bunch of mods that can be applied to change your ship's appearance, the types of aliens populating the system, and even the effects of new artifacts that you can find during your adventure in space. Some mods like Red Planet and Even Stranger Adventures in Infinite Space act as full-fledged conversions as well, offering a new storyline, GUI and alternate objectives for the players to achieve.
|Torque ||Jesse Venbrux||Shoot 'em up||9.14 MB||Click here to download|
Torque is a new arena shooter by the developer of Frozzd and the Karoshi series, where players assume control of a rotating ship engaged in an intergalactic war with a nameless alien race. Use the cursor keys to move, hold the Z key to concentrate your fire in one direction, and press the space key to pause. The F4 function key can be used to switch between windowed and full screen mode.
Note that the multiplier resets back to one whenever you lose a ship.
|Excavatorrr ||Hempuli, Arvi Teikari||Platformer||1.34 MB||Click here to download|
In Excavatorrr you play as an adventurer who is searching for rare treasures in an unexplored network of caves, equipped with only a pickaxe and some starting items strewn on the floor. Maps are procedurally generated every time you start a new game, and you can only replenish items or offload treasures for cash back at the shop (press up at the entrance) on the surface.
An online high score submission feature is included, although you would need to add the game executable to your firewall exception list before your best scores can be submitted online.
|Bullfist ||Terry Cavanagh, Hayden Scott-Baron, Alex May, distractionware||Action/Arcade||Browser||Click here to play|
A collaborative effort between Terry Cavanagh, Hayden Scott-Baron and Alex May, the aim of Bullfist is to acquire as many points as you can in under one minute. This means guiding a herd of bulls, gathering their wounded mates, and destroying everything in their path before time runs out.
Some objects can only be destroyed when the herd is of a certain size. The special bullrage mode is activated when you've gathered six bulls in your stampede party, and you can extend the sequence by gathering more bulls before it ends.
A Kongregate account is required to submit scores online.
|Samorost 2 |
|Amanita Design||Adventure||Browser||Click here to play|
Samorost 2 by Amanita Design is a flash game that is free to play online for the first few chapters. The second half is included in the downloadable version once you have purchased it.
The developers have chosen to use graphics to portray the story, so there's practically no text to read throughout the entire journey. Most puzzles are solved by figuring out the order in which the items on screen are supposed to be clicked.

ATLANTA (CNN) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the fatal shooting of a Georgia Tech student by campus police late Saturday after the student was confronted about carrying a knife.
According to the GBI, Georgia Tech Police officers responded to a 911 call about a person with a knife and a gun on the downtown Atlanta campus at 11:17 p.m.
The GBI said that when officers arrived, they found Scott Schultz, 21, outside a dormitory with a knife. Schultz went by the name Scout Schultz, according to friends and Schultz’s Facebook page.
A cellphone video taken by a Georgia Tech student from his dorm room across the street shows the confrontation play out in the brightly-lit entrance to a parking garage. At least two officers have their guns drawn as Schultz walks toward them with arms down.
A knife is not visible in the cellphone video seen by CNN. Footage shot by CNN affiliate WSB after the shooting, however, shows a metal, flip-open utility tool that would likely include a small blade, lying on the ground.
“Come on, man, drop the knife,” one officer says. “Come on, let’s drop it,” another officer says.
Schultz walks toward them slowly and shouts, “Shoot me!”
“No, drop the knife,” the first officer says.
The officers repeatedly tell Schultz to drop the knife and one says, “Nobody wants to hurt you.” Another says, “What’s going on, man?”
More officers’ voices are heard, telling Schultz not to move and to drop the knife. Schultz pauses briefly, then takes three steps forward before being shot once and falling to the ground.
Schultz died at a hospital.
Georgia Tech said Schultz was a fourth-year computer engineering major from the Atlanta suburb of Lilburn. Schultz also had a minor in biomedical engineering and planned to work on medical devices, according to a profile on the website of the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance, where Schultz was president.
The profile said Schultz identified as nonbinary and intersex and preferred the pronouns they and them.
“We are all deeply saddened by what has occurred,” the Pride Alliance said in a statement on its website Sunday. “They have been the driving force behind Pride Alliance for the past two years. They pushed us to do more events and a larger variety events, and we would not be the organization we are known as without their constant hard work and dedication. Their leadership allowed us to create change across campus and in the Atlanta community.”
“Scout always reminded us to think critically about the intersection of identities and how a multitude of factors play into one’s experience on Tech’s campus and beyond,” the group said. “We love you Scout and we will continue to push for change.”
A spokesman for the Georgia Tech Police Department, Lance Wallace, told CNN their officers do not carry stun guns.

Coun. Searle Turton does not intend to collect City pay during the upcoming provincial election.
Turton made a statement during the City of Spruce Grove council meeting on Monday, clarifying his intentions for the upcoming election.
“As many people know I will be running on the ballot representing one of the political parties. I plan on staying on council and maintaining my duties, up until the time of the writ. At that point I plan on taking an unpaid leave of absence from the City during the election, that way there is no potential for a conflict of interest,” said Turton.
However, City policy currently states any leave by a councillor is to be paid, therefore council will need to pass a motion for Turton to be able to step away from his duties without pay. If he wins the spot in the Alberta Legislature, a by-election will have to be held to replace his spot on council that is expected to cost the City around $50,000. Otherwise he will return to his position on Council.
Administration is expected to draft a motion for approval in the coming weeks.
“It is my intention and desire to have an unpaid leave during the writ period to avoid burden on the taxpayer.

Reefs – Santa Cruz languages
|Reef Islands – Santa Cruz|
|Reefs – Santa Cruz|
- Äiwoo (also known as Reefs)
- languages of Nendö island (Santa Cruz):
The debate in Oceanic linguistics dated from the Second International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics in 1978, where two opposing papers were presented. Peter Lincoln argued that the Reefs – Santa Cruz languages were Oceanic, while Stephen Wurm argued that they were Papuan languages.
These languages were only definitively classified as part of the Oceanic subgroup of the Austronesian family after a series of papers that refuted the three major arguments for classifying them as either primarily Papuan languages or at least heavily influenced by a Papuan substrate.
- Malcolm Ross and Åshild Næss (2007) demonstrated regular sound correspondences between RSC and Proto-Oceanic.
- Åshild Næss (2006) showed that the "multiple noun classes" in RSC do not resemble Papuan-style gender systems, but do have parallels in other Oceanic languages of nearby Vanuatu.
- Finally, Åshild Næss and Brenda H. Boerger (2008) showed that the complex verbal structures of RSC are derived by normal erosion of verb morphology and grammaticalization of verb serialization commonly found in many Oceanic languages, and thus do not reflect a Papuan substrate.
Ross and Næss (2007) offer a retrospective conclusion:
- How then did it come about that Stephen Wurm thought the RSC [Reefs – Santa Cruz] languages were Papuan? In small measure because the reconstruction of POc had in the 1970s not progressed to where it is today. In larger measure because the typological features he found in the RSC languages had yet to be documented in other Oceanic languages. And because the RSC languages had undergone phonological changes which rendered some cognates unrecognisable and led eventually to the replacement of others.

SALT LAKE CITY — ---
UPDATE (April 7, 2021): Some of the information contained within this article is now outdated. Since the publication of this story, FOX 13 Investigates has learned 326 educators across Utah were hired without background checks. Click here for the update.
The FOX 13 Investigates team has learned dozens of educators across the state have accidentally been hired without a full background check before starting their jobs on campus.
Utah law requires educators who have access to students to have a background check for the sake of child safety.
Two months ago, the Utah State Board of Education learned of a series of data entry mistakes made by the same employee.
USBE notified the educators and school districts to let them know of the issue, but did not notify students, parents, or the public until FOX 13 learned of the issue on Thursday.
Throndsen said it was up to local schools and districts to decide whether to notify parents.
According to a report compiled by USBE, there were 377 "anomalies" or concerns with the data.
Of those 377 anomalies, only 92 were found to be active educators in the state.
Of the 92 educators, 64 cases turned out to be a "false alarm" because there were in fact background checks performed. USBE attributed this to a tracking error.
However, 28 educators either had an incomplete background check, or in six of those cases, no background check at all.
"It's completely the Utah State Board of Education's responsibility, and our fault, in terms of data entry," said Jennifer Throndsen, director of teaching and learning. "There’s no reasonable error that is acceptable in this space... Even having one teacher (unchecked) is not reasonable in my mind, just the risk that it puts on the students."
The employee who made the data entry mistake has been "removed" from that responsibility.
Two employees have now taken on the job and will review each other's work to ensure the mistakes do not happen again.
Throndsen said it is not the educator's fault for having not received a background check.
As such, none of the 28 educators have been placed on administrative leave.
"None of these educators have been reported in any way," Throndsen said. "It is highly unlikely that there is any educator in this 28 that I’d be overly concerned about, but there is a risk, and that is what we want to close up as quickly as possible."
Results of new background checks for the 28 educators are expected to return next week, which will indicate whether someone with a criminal record slipped through the cracks.
It's unclear how long each of the educators had been working at Utah schools without background checks, but Throndsen said it could have potentially been up to five years.

Healthy adults may realise improvements in cognitive performance tasks without tiredness when supplementing with a green oat extract, according to a new clinical trial published in Frontiers in Neuroscience (10 Oct 2021. DOI:10.3389/fnins.2021.748188). Coordinated out of the Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau, Barcelona, the researchers explored whether acute administration of 800 mg of green oat extract (as Neuravena®, from IFF Health) could positively impact markers of cognitive performance including processing speed, working memory and attention.
The single-session, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial included two groups of 10 participants matched for main sociodemographic variables (i.e., age, gender, years of education, body mass index). Participants completed a one-hour session of neurophysiological acquisition and task performance (baseline); a one-hour resting period at the beginning of which the active intervention (Neuravena 800 mg) or placebo was administered; and another hour of neurophysiological acquisition and task performance. Both groups were compared on measures of behavioural task performance and event-related potentials (ERPs) components related to performance monitoring, target detection and attention.
Following intervention, all negative markers were significantly reduced and performance was faster with no loss of accuracy. No neurophysiological differences were found in the placebo group before and after treatment, and performance worsened significantly in terms of reaction time and accuracy. The researchers concluded acute administration of Neuravena could optimise neural resources and positively influence cognitive performance in tasks associated with executive function, processing speed and attention. Further, the intervention prevents deleterious effects of tiredness during task performance.
Trevor Wagner, business development manager, IFF Health, commented: “Suitable for a wide range of consumers, Neuravena is highly marketable to those looking to address mental fatigue, reaction times and performance. Nootropics are often sought after by e-gamers aiming to naturally boost visual acuity, mental function, and energy. With a fast-acting ingredient, such as Neuravena, e-sport enthusiasts, students and general consumers alike can benefit from an increased speed of sustained performance in cognitive tasks.”

(Source: European Commission)
Starting today and for the first time, the Commission is organising a Festival dedicated to the New European Bauhaus (NEB). Designed around three pillars, Forum, Fair and Fest, and based physically in Brussels, at Gare Maritime and at the Mont des Arts, and equally online, the Festival of the New European Bauhaus was built with the NEB community to showcase, celebrate, and develop the movement.
Next to the rich programme in Brussels, the Festival is also spreading throughout Europe, with more than 200 co-created side events independently organised by partners. President Ursula von der Leyen is officially opening the Festival in Rome today at 13.00 CET at the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts, with a live connection to Brussels.
Forum, Fair, and Fest in Brussels
The Forum is a conference that spans three days of participatory formats, from round table discussions to TED-style talks. President Ursula von der Leyen, Commissioners Johannes Hahn, Mariya Gabriel, Elisa Ferreira and Kadri Simson will frame the discussions from the European perspective. Speakers will be of world renown and include prominent architects such as Francis Kéré, Shigeru Ban, Rem Koolhaas, and Stefano Boeri, art world figures such as Gerfried Stocker (Ars Electronica), sound artist Emeka Ogboh, President of the MAXXI Foundation Giovanna Melandri, writer and activist Hilda Nakabuye, and scientists like Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Stefano Mancuso, and Carlos Moreno (15 min city). Several leading national politicians will be attending, such as Elke van den Brandt (Minister for Mobility of the Brussels Capital Region), the Mayor of Brussels Philippe Close and of Prague Zdeněk Hřib.
During the Forum, on 11 June, the prestigious New European Bauhaus Prizes will be awarded in the four NEB categories: Reconnecting with nature; Regaining a sense of belonging; Prioritising the places and people that need it the most and Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking. The finalists will attend the ceremony.
The Fair part of the Festival highlights NEB-style projects that include for example local citizen labs to pioneer research funded by EU programmes such as Horizon Europe, prototypes that will improve the sustainability, inclusiveness and quality of our daily experiences. The Fair is co-created: out of the 316 applications received, 100 projects were selected to be displayed at NEB both on fixed and mobile supports (from e-bikes to electrical tuk-tuks) scattered across the Brussels city centre.
Finally, the Fest is a celebration of the NEB for everyone. Taking over the Mont des Arts in the city centre of Brussels from today to Sunday, the programme will appeal to various audiences with dance, installations, theatre, and music performances – such as Patsyki Z Franeka, popular Ukrainian artist band, and Дeva, the 2022 winner of the Music Moves Europe Awards – as well as scientific experiments, upcycling workshops, and much more. Artists and cultural actors will also participate in the forum.
Over 200 side events around Europe
Side events organised by the NEB community in 25 countries include discussions about renewable resources, innovative technologies, urban farming, the evolution of buildings, and climate-friendly mobility as well as concerts, ideas labs and exhibitions, catalogued on the Festival‘s website. During the opening ceremony, there will be connections to ten of those side events.
Members of College said:
President of the Commission Ursula von der Leyen said: “The New European Bauhaus enables tangible change on the ground – to achieve our climate targets and improve the quality of life in our cities, villages and regions. The Festival is a wonderful opportunity to deepen discussions & meet those who build a sustainable, inclusive and beautiful future.”
Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel, said: “By bridging science and innovation with art and culture, the New European Bauhaus Festival is an excellent opportunity to network, share innovative projects and ideas and put the European Green Deal in the forefront of our minds. It will bring together individuals from all walks of life to discuss and construct a future that is both sustainable, inclusive and attractive.”
Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira said: “We need inclusiveness in our pursuit for sustainable and attractive places – the New European Bauhaus has the ambition to reach all territories. It brings positive energy to our collective endeavours for a better future together!”
The NEB was launched by President von der Leyen in September 2021. It adds a cultural dimension to the Green Deal and accelerates the green transition with tangible change on the ground.
The Festival brings the European Green Deal to the heart of our daily lives. The NEB is by nature transdisciplinary: it invites architects, designers, artists, scientists, engineers, artisans, and citizens to share their expertise in preparing for the future.

Jake Sidwell enters his third year on the UVA softball staff in the 2021-22 academic year. Sidwell works extensively with Virginia’s offense and guide the development of Cavalier hitters.
In the shortened 2020 season, Sidwell helped the Cavaliers to their best start since 2012. In non-conference action, the Cavaliers hit .279 as a club while reaching base at a .361 clip. Virginia averaged better than 4.00 runs per game in the 22-game season. The Hoos scored 7-or-more runs on eight different occasions.
Sidwell came to Virginia after spending the 2019 season as a volunteer assistant with George Washington baseball under head coach Gregg Ritchie, who is a former MLB hitting coach and the current U18 hitting coach for Team USA. Ritchie spent 15 seasons as a minor league hitting coach and two years as the hitting coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
With Sidwell on staff in 2019, GW posted a .292 batting average as a team. The mark was the 35th-best average in collegiate baseball last season. Dom D’Alessandro finished the year with a .423 average for the Colonials, the second-best batting average of any player in the country. A Colonial also led the A-10 in RBI, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and runs scored in 2019.
Sidwell also helped develop the GW catchers, who posted the second-best caught stealing percentage in the A-10. Along with his on-field duties, Sidwell directed and organized GW baseball camps and clinics.
Prior to joining George Washington, Sidwell was a graduate assistant with VCU baseball. With the Rams, Sidwell managed the bullpen during the games and assisted pitching coach Mike McRae in developing the VCU staff.
He also has experience leading a team, serving as a head coach in the Piedmont Collegiate Baseball League. In the PCBL, Sidwell managed a collegiate summer team, overseeing all aspects of the program both on and off the field.
Sidwell played his collegiate ball at Davidson where he helped the Wildcats to an NCAA super regional in 2017. He was a 39th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of high school and became the first drafted player to ever attend Davidson. He was also named a Rawlings Gold Glove finalist in 2017.
Sidwell earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from Davidson in 2017 and will complete his master’s in sport leadership at VCU in August.

What are you passionate about outside of music?
Who were your major teachers?
Scott Foglesong, David Conte, and David Garner.

What was a turning point in your career?
When I was a Graduate Assistant for the Department of Musicianship and Music Theory at SFCM, and realized how much I love teaching.
If you weren't a musician or teacher, what do you think you would be doing now?
Perhaps something in administration or accounting.
What is your daily practice routine?
Lots of keyboard harmony!
If you could play only three composers for the rest of your life, who would they be?
Johann Sebastian Bach, Frédéric Chopin, and Gabriel Fauré.
Please list your most important collaborations.
St. Dominic’s Schola Cantorum. I joined as a volunteer singer in 2014, and in 2016 became Organ Scholar under Director of Music and Liturgy Simon Berry. In 2018, the Schola premiered my Master of Music thesis on my degree recital.
