Wake up with the birds and the sun. Check to make sure the dog is still alive. Clean rat shit off the butcher block. Take tart dough out of the freezer. Make a hella strong cup of coffee. Ninja your way into your son's locked room and find him asleep with a pocket knife, Liquid Paper, and a spy pen. Offer eggs. Offer oatmeal. Offer cinnamon toast. Watch your kids' eyes bug out above the cinnamon toast when you rant about the importance of gun control. Pile into the car. Tell your daughter you're sorry but you just can't explain Pink's lyrics it's just you and your hand tonight. End up at Target. Try to talk your daughter out of the short short denim shorts. Try to talk yourself out of the hot pink bikini. Buy both. Yell at a woman in a black SUV to slow down bitch and pick a fucking lane already. Boil garlic cloves in olive oil. Listen to your daughter do a mama-style door slam when you tell her she can't have a new iPod. Pour hot garlic oil over cherry tomatoes and simmer them with salt, sugar, and lemon thyme. Consider returning the hot pink bikini. Ask your son how much he loves you and shiver when he says mama I love you neverending and forever. Assemble your third cherry tomato, garlic confit, and anchovy tart of the week. Drink a martini and cut your son's hair. Regret being that annoying mom who says you don't like anchovies what is wrong with you? Smile when your daughter offers to do the dishes. Snuggle in bed with your daughter and allow her to pet your head. Sit down at the computer to try to articulate your excitement about this tart and realize you're so tired that all that you can write is I fucking love this tart I fucking love this tart I fucking love this tart. Crawl into bed without brushing your teeth and notice you're still wearing your apron. Hug your dog and mumble who the heck do I think I am attempting to do anything around here except trying to keep all of you creatures alive? Wake up at 3 a.m. drenched in sweat. Check on your kids. Go back to sleep until your screaming son wakes you up at 5 a.m. Lie down forehead to forehead until his nightmare fades and he drifts back to sleep. Flip on the kitchen lights and say good morning motherfuckers to the rats. Watch the sun rise. Eat some cold tomato and anchovy tart. Clean the rat shit off the butcher block. Make a hella strong cup of coffee. Remove the tags and tuck the hot pink bikini into your underwear drawer.
CHERRY TOMATO, GARLIC CONFIT, AND ANCHOVY TART
This tart would be super tasty made with pizza dough or puff pastry.
Make sure to prepare the tart dough a few hours ahead of time. It works better to cool garlic confit and tomato mixture before assembling tart. But if you're in hurry then just throw it all together and it will be fine. And if anchovies gross you out, skip them. Corn is a wonderful addition. Or spread under the tomatoes a layer of goat cheese mixed with 1 egg, salt, and heavy cream. Play. Maybe some pancetta? Prosciutto? Or an egg or two cracked on the tart? I'm hungry.
1 1/2 times this recipe for tart dough, refrigerated for a few hours (or just make double and saves scraps for mini-tarts)
1 head of garlic confit, cooled
2 pints cherry tomatoes (any kind, color, or size)
2 tablespoons garlic confit oil
4 sprigs lemon thyme (or regular thyme)
big pinch kosher salt
big pinch white sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (I love Grey Poupon)
at least 10 anchovy fillets (packed in oil)
parmesan or pecorino cheese
Roll tart dough into desired shape. You can press it into a large tart pan or leave it free form on a sheet pan. Refrigerate until needed. Put garlic oil in medium-sized pot on medium heat. Add tomatoes, thyme, salt, and sugar. Cook and stir until tomatoes soften just a bit (about 3 minutes). A few tomatoes will probably explode. Take off heat and cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread mustard over cold tart dough leaving about 1/2" at the edges. Strain tomato mixture and save remaining broth for soup (very important or tart will be soggy). Spread cooked tomatoes all over tart dough. Drape anchovies over the tomatoes. Squeeze garlic confit cloves out of skins and onto the tart (I like placing a clove next to each anchovy fillet). If you want, place a few more cloves in the center of the tart along with the thyme sprigs. Grate cheese all over. Paint exposed tart dough edges with garlic oil.
Bake until nice and brown and beautiful. It should take between 30 and 40 minutes. A good test is to pick up the corner of the tart and see if it's floppy or firm. Take it out when it doesn't bow at all. Or, if you like it a bit gooey, take it out when it's not quite firm.
Eat right away. Maybe with arugula and avocado bowls and anchovy salad dressing.

LEE Mossop is eyeing a return to Super League action this weekend – as speculation over his future intensifies.
The Cumbrian prop is wanted by Parramatta Eels for next season.
And they are thought to be preparing an offer to lure Mossop – and Wigan’s Gareth Hock, who is on loan at Widnes – to the NRL.
Mossop is under contract until the end of 2014.
And while the Warriors could resist any offers for him, they may be willing to release him for a fee – rather than lose him for nothing 12 months later. It’s thought the 24-year-old is keen to test himself Down Under, after seeing how much success Gareth Ellis, James Graham and Sam Burgess have enjoyed.
Parramatta, rebuilding under Ricky Stuart, also want Hock.
And with the second-rower’s relationship with Wigan untenable, it would make sense to cash in when his season-long loan at Widnes comes to an end later this season. The deal for Mossop, though, has not been completed.
And the fact discussions are still taking place may explain why Wigan have yet to announce the capture of his long-term replacement – Wales rugby union star Andy Powell.
His club Sale Sharks yesterday confirmed he was heading to the DW Stadium at the end of their season in three weeks.
“Andy won’t be with us next year,” said chief executive Steve Diamond.
“He’s signed for Wigan for three years, although I don’t know the in-depth details of the contract.” The No.8 is seen as a prop by coach Shaun Wane, and his signing will fit in with Wigan’s link-up with Wales rugby league.
Meanwhile, Mossop could make his return from a six-week lay-off in Sunday’s match at Bradford.
Mossop said: “I’m over with watching now. If I had been unlucky and had to be out another eight weeks I don’t think I’d have lasted.
“I’d have been right for the Wakefield game (last Sunday) but I got a bit of flu last week and it’s put me back a bit. It was nothing to do with my shoulder why I was out on Sunday.”
Mossop was sidelined by a dislocated shoulder, but confirmed it was the different one which caused him problems in the past.
“It was the good one this time,” Mossop smiled.
“But hopefully it will still be good, when I had the scan the specialist couldn’t believe there was no damage to the joint whatsoever.”
Wane is also hoping to welcome back Harrison Hansen (wrist) and Sean O’Loughlin (ribs) from injury. Josh Charnley (ankle) has a chance of playing and Pat Richards is available again, but Chris Tuson (hamstring) is set to miss out

It’s Black History Month.
While February’s celebration offers some time to revisit history and seek out new angles, there are a myriad of opportunities, stories and accomplishments by the Black community throughout the year.
You want your stories to be unique.
Luckily, you have a place to go for fresh content, leads, and interview opportunities: Start by using the advanced search tool on PR Newswire for Journalists (PRNJ) and find that story gem that no one else is telling.
Here are four ways to enrich your stories on race, diversity, culture, and issues that affect both men and women — all year round.
1. Feed the conversation on Black Twitter.
If you want to reach African-American millennials, Black Twitter is key to growing your audience. To feed the conversation, see the campaigns that are gaining ground on social.
Many companies and nonprofits regularly will use hashtags in their news releases to drive engagement around a particular event or mission. There are a few ways to find them.
In the keyword section, a quick search for the phrase “Black History Month” will pull up a number of interesting news releases, some of which incorporate hashtag campaigns, like #BlackExcellence, #CodeAFuture, and #InspiringWomanPBS.
A simple combined search of the subject “African-American News” paired with the keyword “campaign” uncovered a few great stories, too. Releases include Scholastic’s deal to publish an activism book by the 12-year-old #1000BlackGirlBooks founder, and an Allstate campaign highlighting modern-day African Americans whose stories are #WorthTelling.
2. Search for specific story angles.
If you work for a niche publication — or are looking to focus deeper on a particular topic — a combined search will help narrow down the news.
For example, say you want to look into awards in the Black community. A combined search of the subject “African-American News” paired with the keyword “award” will produce a range of stories:
- Despite Modest Gains, Women and Minorities See Little Change in Representation on Fortune 500 Boards
- Oprah Winfrey Becomes a Special Contributor to 60 Minutes
- Dominion Resources and the Library of Virginia Honor Seven African-American ‘Strong Men & Women in Virginia History’
The Chinese New Year also is in February. Thinking of this and other upcoming theme-months (Women’s History and Asian Pacific American Heritage month are both coming soon), you can test several combinations to tailor the news to your beat. The keyword phrase “Chinese New Year” paired with the industry “Travel” drew these pieces:
- Shanghai Disney Resort Marks its First Chinese New Year with Guests from Home and Abroad
- Huangling Welcomes Year of the Rooster with Gigantic Chili Pepper Installation
And a combined search of industry “Computer/Electronics” and subject “Women-related News” produced gems like these:
- New Cornell Certificate Provides Women Essential Framework and Negotiation Tools to Break Through Barriers to Leadership Success
- Getty Images and Refinery29 Expand Content Partnership with the Launch of The No Apologies Collection
- CyberVista Launches First-of-its-Kind Initiative to Increase Diversity in the Cybersecurity Field
3. Find stories in your community and abroad.
To think outside of the box, you may want to cast a wide net to find news outside the US, or slim down your search to highly localized areas.
For example, if you regularly cover Native American news, you may want to see what’s going on in Canada.
A subject search on “Native American News” paired with a geography selection of “United States” and “Canada,” brought up news like the drafting of the Government of Quebec’s Aboriginal social development action plan.
In contrast, a subject search on “Native American News” combined with a geography selection of “West/Southwest” (North America -> United States -> West/Southwest) pulled stories like the historic Cobell settlement and the 25-year business agreement between the New Mexico’s Acoma Pueblo and company Bright Green.
If you want to go local, try using a city or town of interest combined with a subject selection (e.g. Hispanic, African American, Asian American, Native American, Women’s Interest).
For instance, a keyword search of “Harrisburg” combined with the subject “African-American News” will give you city-specific news like this trailblazer exhibit returning to the Pennsylvania Capitol after a seven-year hiatus.
4. Gain access to the right people to feed a series of stories.
Sometimes just writing one story on a specific topic isn’t enough to satisfy your audience.
Many stories are so captivating that they may lead to other story ideas or even a series of stories. One of the benefits of a free PRNJ membership is that you get access to media contacts and other insider information for follow up.
Let’s say you cover entertainment news and you want to schedule an interview with a celebrity as a next step. An industry selection of “Entertainment” paired with multicultural subjects pulled up these releases, complete with full contact information (Remember: You may need to be logged in to your account to access the full contact info):
- Multi-Platinum Recording Artist NE-YO to Perform at the 2017 Honda Battle of the Bands
- National Pork Board and Heartthrob Carlos Ponce Bring ‘El Sabor de Hoy’ to Latinos
- “La piñata mágica,” Ismael Cala’s new, bilingual children’s book about the joy of sharing
- WomenHeart & Burlington Stores Team up with Kelly Rowland to #KnockOutHeartDisease in Women
Finally, don’t forget about the ProfNet tool. Here you can submit queries to get experts on any range of topics for your race and culture every day of the year. Our sister site, HARO, is a great resource, too.
Want to get started? It takes only a couple moments to register for our media services at prnmedia.prnewswire.com. If you have questions or would like to learn more about any of our Multicultural releases, you can reach out to Jessica.Alas@prnewswire.com

Youths attack firefighters for second night in a row
Fire crews attending reports of a blaze in Co Antrim were ambushed by a gang of youths who had faked an emergency call-out to lure them into their trap for a second successive night.
The NI Fire and Rescue Service officers were pelted with rocks and stones by the gang near a block of derelict flats in the Dunclug Gardens area of Ballymena shortly after 11pm last night.
Group Commander Bobby Harper described the incident as a well " orchestrated attack" which put the lives of his crew and those in the community at serious risk.
"These people have got to understand that when they are attacking the emergency services they are attacking their own communities," Mr Harper said.
"The attacks can have serious consequences.
"We were very lucky last night that no-one was seriously hurt.
"If the driver had lost control of the fire appliance it could have caused serious injury.
"It was a residential area and there were a number of bystanders about," the commander added.
"Not only that but for a period of time, while we were attending this call out, fire cover in Ballymena was severely reduced."
While no-one was hurt during the incident, the windscreen of the fire engine was broken and damage was caused to the vehicle making it unsafe to use.
Group Commander Harper said it would now be out of service until it was repaired and fire cover in the Ballymena area would be reduced as a consequence.
He added that he would be seeking a meeting with local representatives to try to resolve the issue.
A PSNI spokeswoman condemned the attack on the fire service saying that police were now investigating a case of criminal damage.

Out of all the great things about the holiday season, the decor is one of the best parts. Garlands, colorful ornaments and twinkling lights make houses festive and joyous, and wreaths and candles add to the season's appeal. If you and your at-home senior care client are ready to start decking the halls, make sure you're putting up decorations that are completely safe. Here are some tips for decorating safely for the holidays:
Choose your tree wisely
If you and your client are picking out a live Christmas tree, make sure to choose one that's fresh and healthy. Older trees with dead pine needles and dry bark are huge fire hazards. For artificial trees, make sure to check the packaging for a safety label that clearly states it's fire resistant.
Inspect your lights
Before hanging lights outside, inside or around the tree, check them carefully for missing bulbs and frayed wires that can be huge fire risks. If you're buying new lights, peruse the label to make sure they've been tested for safety. This information might also be on one of the tags attached to the cord.
Keep it minimal
Seniors are always at risk for falling or tripping, so make sure to keep decorations minimal and completely out of the way. Never string lights or extension cords across floors or walkways, and refrain from wrapping ribbons or garlands around banisters.

Times have changed. A CMO's job is always about growing top line revenue - but today, that isn't limited to managing ad spends, administering brand recognition surveys and fielding customer surveys. It's now about building relationships.
The age of digital technology has made it insanely easy for brands and consumers to stay connected. Want to know what the latest and greatest is? Go to the website. Want to see the personality of the business? Go to Facebook. Want to complain? Take to Yelp and Twitter.
Your business needs a new CMO - one who understands what it means to build, maintain and nourish consumer relationships. Here's why:
- We Live in a Blended World.
Online is not different than offline anymore. People are always online. You must have a CMO who understands how people connect with brands online, in order to craft an experience offline that encourages them to reconnect and promote your brand.
- You're OLD.
Your customers have changed and your customer service must, too - instagram screwed the marketing world. Well, not really - but it opened up consumers' eyes to the world of online sharing. Have a great moment? Share it! Have a terrible moment? Share it! This means that brands have lost complete control of customer feedback...it's in the wild. Phone customer support is no longer sufficient - it must be through online chat, social media response and email.
- People Want to Feel Different
I am not my mother, nor your neighbor, nor that teenager, nor that senior citizen. Do not treat me the same. The only differentiation in messaging brands understand is demographic segmenting, but people are more than just segments. They are people and they want to be treated as people. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS - the more you know them, as people , the more you can craft messaging to them as individuals. Oh, and by the way, you can email them, individually, and make them feel like they're your most important customer.
CMO too expensive to replace? We understand. To learn how to provide your current CMO the extra spark you need to thrive today, click here.

A venerable all-star line-up from Ubisoft Montreal answers our questions about the open world adventure.
Of the several games showcased since E3 2012, Ubisoft Montreal’s Watch_Dogs has commanded the most attention. The aspect of an open world cityscape that can be hacked multiple ways presents an almost infinite amount of possibilities not yet seen in the genre – and we’d be lying if there wasn’t a ton of cool stuff to do. For all the enigma surrounding the protagonist Aiden Pearce, there is still a ton we don’t know about the game. Luckily, we managed to sit down with the team at Ubisoft Montreal who gracefully offered a ton of new details.
So join us as we speak to creative director Jonathan Morin, lead game designer Danny Belanger, lead story designer Kevin Short, senior producer Dominic Guay and team lead programmer Francis Boivin about the differences in the Xbox One and PS4 versions, skill sets and progression and story of Watch_Dogs.
Ravi Sinha: Let’s be honest – when it was first revealed at E3 2012, we thought it to be another Assassin’s Creed-style game. How does it feel to prove us so very wrong?
Jonathan Morin: For us it was just the right time to start talking about WATCH_DOGS. I think the bold move was to show a brand new IP at such a time. It was bold but also quite logic. We knew most companies would play it safe while players and the industry overall would want new experiences.
" Failure is inexcusable for Pearce and he will do everything in his power to rectify that. He takes it on himself to protect his family by any means necessary. He’ll take bold steps to ensure those closest to him are protected in the future. "
As players we want new experiences as well you know. And in the end, I think Ubisoft knew what they had in their hands. They believed in it and it surely paid off so far. The excitement around WATCH_DOGS we currently see in the industry generated a lot of buzz in the team and now we want nothing more than to show the world that all this attention is well deserved. We just can’t wait to let people play it.
Ravi Sinha: What we’ve seen of Watch_Dogs is incredible however. But we’ve been tempted by stellar game footage before. How much of what was shown reflects in the actual game?
Danny Belanger: There are many questions about the systemic or scripted nature of the game. Many people have doubts that we’ve scripted everything we shown.
This is truly a systemic game – A good example is our E3 2012 demo with the car accident done by hacking the traffic lights, it depends on the amount of vehicles present at the intersection when it is triggered.
The gravity of the accident will totally depend on the speed and amount of cars at that instant. Our goal is to give a lot of interesting tools to the player to modify, affect the simulation and let him be creative in using them to achieve his goals!
Ravi Sinha: Protagonist Aiden Pearce is still one of the most ambiguous aspects of the game. How is his role related to the “Watch_Dogs” aspect of the game, as indicated by an unknown hacker ordering for his protection? Does his past family tragedy have anything to do with the previous blackouts in the city?
Kevin Short (Lead Story Designer): I don’t want to give specifics on this… Those details will come…For now, I will say that Pearce’s mistakes have directly impacted his family. He is responsible for the trauma his family has suffered. He is a man haunted by past mistakes. He failed his family once before and for Pearce, that’s a hard pill to swallow.
Failure is inexcusable for Pearce and he will do everything in his power to rectify that. He takes it on himself to protect his family by any means necessary. He’ll take bold steps to ensure those closest to him are protected in the future. Pearce made some bad choices in the past and he’s paid for those choices…and so has his family. They’ve suffered because of his mistakes.
Ravi Sinha: Of all the aspects revealed thus far, tell us a bit more about other players appearing in one’s single-player campaign. What will be the impact of the same? Can you cooperate with them? Will they provide rewards?
Jonathan Morin: These guys are Fixers: criminals for hire who can exploit/hack the grid in similar ways than Aiden does.
In a way, they represent a new breed of mercenaries who quickly learnt how valuable it was to master the art of cybercrime and hacking in order to remain relevant in today’s underground crime scene.
" The Xbox One is a powerful platform, as of now we do not foresee a major difference in on screen result between the PS4 and the Xbox One."
In this particular situation, the Fixer was incarnated by another player who was contracted to come and hack this player specifically. Anything a Fixer does, he does for money, notoriety and pride.
The more notorious a Fixer becomes, the bigger contracts he gets. Hacking other players out there is one of the ways to progress for them as well as for you…
Ravi Sinha: The PlayStation 4 has enabled not just plenty of visual flourish for the game but also flourishes in the gameplay, such as with the larger crowds and scale. How far will this go in making the PS4 version more recommended over the current-gen versions?
Dominic Guay (Senior Producer): First, it starts with the content itself. WATCH_DOGS strives to innovate technically but also on the front of design. While we think pushing immersion (which includes graphics) is important for our title, we do not think it is enough.
We believe that our efforts to push dynamism in an open world, that our efforts to connect all players together in new ways are fundamentally geared toward fostering game experience innovation.
Of course it also refers to our commitment to developing the game with a mind-set on fully supporting “next gen hardware”. This is true of the PS4 or other next-gen platforms using modern technology, as well as a certain range of PC hardware which offers similar capabilities. But ultimately, our engine DISRUPT has been designed to scale to different platforms.
So as it supports also current gen platforms, you can expect the same game experience we want to offer with WATCH_DOGS, whatever platform you will be playing on.
Ravi Sinha: Given all the hype and hoopla around the PS4, what are your thoughts on the Xbox One? How is the Xbox One version of the game going to be different compared to the PC and the PS4 one?
Dominic Guay: The Xbox One is a powerful platform, as of now we do not foresee a major difference in on screen result between the PS4 and the Xbox One. Obviously since we are still working on pushing the game on these new consoles, we are still doing R&D. This said, the platforms have some specificities that we are leveraging. For example, we are making use of the touchpad on the DualShock4.
"We are building an AI that supports stealth and shooting with the transitions required between the two states. This means that the player can take advantage of not being seen to engage into gunplay when he decides."
Ravi Sinha: What graphical options can players expect from the PC version?
Francis Boivin (Team Lead Programmer): Disrupt was developed to have state of the art visuals on all its quality levels. We needed to have AO, massive dynamic light support, HDR, GI, depth of field, etc. to fully realize the ambition of art direction. We improved on techniques that we worked on in the past and surveyed what was available for the highest level of quality we wanted to achieve. We didn’t just integrate the technique of the moment, but spent quite some time turning stuff around and mixing algorithms so they fit our requirements.
Ravi Sinha: Besides driving cars, will we see any other kinds of vehicles in Watch_Dogs – something along the lines of the GTA series’ boats and planes, or maybe some other form of transport?
Dominic Guay: As teased during one of our demos during this year’s E3, players will also be able to use boats, just like they can use cars or motorcycles; that is to say navigating rivers and lakes across the city or use them within their plans.
Ravi Sinha: The enemies and obstacles right now seem to be a piece of cake for our hero. Will there be rival hackers, military or specialized units taking on Pearce?
Danny Belanger: With WATCH_DOGS, we intend to let the players express themselves. We are building an AI that supports stealth and shooting with the transitions required between the two states. This means that the player can take advantage of not being seen to engage into gunplay when he decides.
"We also have a full range of weapons at the player's disposal - from basic pistols to grenade launchers, these can be used anywhere the player wants and it can create quite the mess when a fight breaks out in downtown Chicago."
With this angle, using technology becomes a core component of our game. The player can, for example, use the camera network to spot the enemies beforehand to set up an ambush from the position he feels is most advantageous. He can also take the time to identify all the technological opportunities to gain an advantage; like modifying cover or spotting vulnerabilities in the electrical system to takedown unsuspecting enemies.
That being said, players who prefer a more direct approach can totally run in and take care of business using a more action-oriented approach. We strongly feel that imposing a style of play on the player is less fun than letting the player explore the game systems and enjoy the game as he wants. This obviously brings many challenges in a game like ours but we feel it is worth it. Luckily, we have a lot of expertise in many genres, be it action or stealth, in the studio and we can profit from this common experience to push the boundaries.
For the fighting itself, we are trying to have a more realistic tone where enemies feel more like real living people than “game ingredients”. Within the WATCH_DOGS universe, we have multiple types of enemies ranging from mobsters to the police force and these allow us to create interesting challenges without feeling too “unrealistic”.
We also have a full range of weapons at the player’s disposal – from basic pistols to grenade launchers, these can be used anywhere the player wants and it can create quite the mess when a fight breaks out in downtown Chicago. It becomes even more interesting when you add the range of city hacks and vehicles the player can use in combination with his arsenal…
Ravi Sinha: There feels like a balance in the game, between the omnipotent power of Pearce’s hacking and fragile physical form. How tough was it managing this balance, so as to not make the protagonist too “over-powered”?
Danny Belanger: Progression is very important to deliver a strong fantasy and to ensure that the player is not overwhelmed with too many mechanics early in the game. Aiden will develop his skills on two axis. One side he will have perks that are unlocked by gaining Experience Points (similar to an RPG).
Perks represent his Physical and Mental traits – For example: he can unlock Perks to make him shoot more accurately or another one to reload his weapons faster. On the other axis, you have his technology, these are unlocked by doing city contracts and gaining more access to the CTOS infrastructure – This is how the player gains access to Traffic Lights and ability to manipulate the Train.

A 2-car collision in the northbound lanes of the Holland Tunnel at around 11:15 a.m. this morning sent two women to the hospital and caused the lanes to be shut down for about 45 minutes, according to a spokeswoman for the Port Authority of NY & NJ.
The two women were in the same car at the time of accident and were sent to the Jersey City Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries, the spokeswoman said.
There were no other reported injuries, she said.
The cars were going the same way when they collided, but further details about the collision were not available, the spokeswoman said.
No damage was done to the tunnel because of the accident, and the northbound lanes opened up again at 12:01 p.m., she said.
The 2-car accident caused 15 minute delays for motorists traveling in the northbound lanes of the Holland Tunnel, according to the Port Authority's alerts website.

in the Classroom
by Anita G. Kinser,
In this section you will develop strategies for dealing with the
most common medical emergencies such as:
first step in dealing with emergencies is preparedness. There are
a few things that all instructors can and should do to be prepared
to handle potential medical emergencies:
Know and practice CPR . Keep your certification current so
that you are following the most current American Heart Association
Know first aid . Review the principles of first aid on a
regular basis so you can remember what to do if an injury occurs.
Know the emergency notification system for the room(s)
you are teaching in. Most classrooms do not have telephones. Know
where the nearest one is, and what the emergency medical system
(EMS) response number is. In many areas this number is 911,
but not in all areas. Some campuses also have internal emergency
numbers to use.
Know the specific location of your room (ie-building and
room number) and best directions to give someone to find it in
case you need to call for emergency help.
What about liability?
California, as in most states, a person who renders emergency care
is usually protected under the Good Samaritan Law as long as you
acted in good faith and within your scope of care or
abilities. In general, the Good Samaritan law says that
person who renders emergency care, first aid, or rescue at the scene
of an emergency, or moves the person receiving such care, first
aid, and rescue to a hospital or other place of medical care, shall
not be liable to such person for any civil damages as a result of
any acts or omissions in rendering the emergency care, first aid,
or rescue, or moving the person receiving the same to a hospital
or other place of medical care, except in acts or omissions intentionally
designed to harm or any grossly negligent acts or omissions which
result in harm of the person receiving the emergency care, first
aid, or rescue or being moved to a hospital or other place of medical
care (Margolis, 1999).
For more information about the Good Samaritan law and potential
liability, go to: http://firstaid.about.com/od/medicallegal/a/07_no_good_sam.htm
A good thing to keep
in mind is that there is usually very little liability for doing
something to help. There is actually much more liability for doing
nothing when you could have done something.
As in all emergencies,
stay calm. Even if youre shaking inside, you need
to remain in control and demonstrate a calm exterior to the students
in the classroom.
whenever possible. Its not a bad idea to keep a ziplock
bag of latex or vinyl disposable gloves in your desk drawer, briefcase,
or other easily accessible place.
*Due to the growing
number of people with severe allergies to latex, vinyl gloves
an injured person or severely ill person if you dont
know it is OK to do so. Wait for emergency medical help to do
If the person is conscious and alert, allow them to assume
the position of comfort. Most people who are having
difficulty breathing will do this naturally if allowed.
Talk to the person
in calm, firm, but reassuring tones. If a person is panicking,
you may have to use a slightly louder, firm manner to get their
attention, but shouting rarely helps.
Check their breathing . As CPR teaches, remember the ABCs-airway,
breathing, circulation. If the person is not getting air into
their lungs, nothing else matters. Be sure to continue to monitor
breathing until the person is alert, oriented, and appears to
be no longer in distress, or until emergency medical personnel
Look, listen and feel for breath. If they are not breathing, breath
If the person isnt breathing and you dont know CPR
call out for someone who does. In a college setting with adult
students, there is a strong likelihood that there is someone in
the class who knows CPR and can help.
While there is no
way I can deal with all emergencies here, there are a few that
are more likely to occur in the classroom setting. Those include
- Anxiety attacks
- Respiratory difficulties
- Loss of consciousness
- Diabetic reaction
- Heart attack
Attacks are more commonly
known as panic attacks. There are many misconceptions about anxiety
attacks. The most common misconception is that it is all
in your head. A person suffering from a panic attack is
experiencing very real physical symptoms which can lead to serious
consequences. As in all emergencies, what the person is feeling
is most important and should not be taken lightly. Many people
having panic attacks think they are having a heart attack. Symptoms
are very similar and it takes a trained medical provider to diagnose
the difference. As a lay person, you need to assume the worse
and react as you would for any other emergency.
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Nausea or stomach problems
Flushes or chills
Shortness of breath or a feeling of smothering or choking
Tingling or numbness
Shaking or trembling
Feelings of unreality
Send a student
to the nearest phone to call for emergency assistance.
You cannot know for sure that the person isnt
having a heart attack, so the EMS needs to be activated.
Make sure the student has the following information
location and directions to find you
number for further contact if needed
- What is
what is the person experiencing and
what if anything, has been done.
sending another student to a designated spot at the
entrance of the campus or building to guide the emergency
team to you.
Are they breathing?
If so, they are may be hyperventilating; breathing rapid and
shallow. This will exacerbate their symptoms of dizziness,
numbness/tingling and chest pain.
Place them in a position of comfort :
having difficulty breathing feel better sitting up. Try having
them sit on the floor with their back against the wall. Allow
them to position themselves the way that is most comfortable
Talk to them.
Talk to them
firmly, calmly, loud enough to be heard. Talk them into
breathing slower and deeper. You will need to talk them
through the steps over and over, possibly demonstrating
the breathing with them to help them focus. Try the following:
- Breathe slowly
through your nose to the count of 4
- Exhale through
your mouth to the count of 4.
- Repeat over
and over, Always breathing through your nose, slowly,
until breathing returns to normal.
Help them try
to focus on things outside of themselves. Internal focusing
pumps them up. Attempt to have them
- Listen to
what other people are saying
- Focus on things
in the room around them
- Count backwards
from 100 by 3
- Engage them
in conversation with you
- Imagine themself
in some pleasant place
the class if you cant find a quiet place to isolate
them. The embarrassment of others crowding around and watching
may make symptoms worse.
Even if they
appear better, do not leave them alone until trained help
arrives to take over their care. Continue to observe their
breathing and color, occasionally encouraging and reassuring
most likely problem to occur is an asthma attack. Many variables
can affect people with respiratory sensitivities and stress is definitely
one of them. A student who is anxious about an exam or impending
oral presentation may be more easily triggered into an asthmatic
episode. If not controlled immediately, asthma attacks can lead
to serious complications and even death.
Symptoms of an asthma attack:
Difficulty in breathing.
shallow and noisy breaths.
lips / skin
What to do:
How severe is their
breathing difficulty? How is their color-are they pale, white,
or blue around the mouth? This is the first place you will notice
a change in color if a person is not getting enough oxygen.
Place them in a position of comfort
They will be most
comfortable sitting up, possibly leaning slightly forward. Never
force a person having difficulty breathing to lie down. The
pressure of internal organs on the diaphragm make breathing
more difficult in this position.
Talk to them
Talk to them firmly,
Instruct them to
breath slowly, deeply as possible, and breath out slowly through
pursed lips (as if they are whistling, or blowing out a candle).
Ask if this has
ever happened before.
Call for help
If this is a first attack, or if the person does not
have an inhaler, call immediately for emergency help.
Use their inhaler
Most patients with
asthma carry an inhaler. Ask if they have an inhaler, help them
get it and encourage them to use it as soon as possible. They
should take 4 puffs initially. If after 10 minutes their condition
hasnt improved, have them take another 4 puffs and call
for emergency help.
Symptoms of a seizure
A seizure is characterized by uncontrolled jerking or thrashing
movements. Some people have an aura which is a warning
sign that a seizure may occur. Even though they may have this
warning, due to embarrassment, they may not alert you that a seizure
is going to occur. Others have no warning before the event.
What to do:
- The main focus
is to protect from falls and from head injury.
- If they give
you a warning that a seizure is going to occur, help them
lie down in an open area of the floor away from obstacles.
- If they are sitting
in a desk or at a table when the seizure occurs, assist them
to the floor while protecting their head and clear the area.
You may need someone else to help you move them.
Position for safety
- Leave them lying
on the floor, on their side. Lying on their side will allow
for drainage of secretions/emesis and prevent choking.
- Protect their
head: Clear the area of chair legs, table legs or other sharp
- If something
soft is available such as a small folded blanket, you may
place it under their head. Do not use anything with sharp
objects such as zippers or large snaps.
attempt to restrain the person in any way
put anything in the persons mouth
Protect their privacy
patients are frequently embarrassed after they come to.
seizure patients become incontinent during the seizure, which will
add to the embarrassment. It is a good idea to clear the classroom
except for essential help needed.
Sometimes breathing may
stop temporarily during a seizure, but it usually resumes without
assistance. The best way to keep the airway clear is to keep them
on their side.
If they still are not
breathing after the seizure stops, then follow the general rules
for CPR and airway management.
Some patients will be groggy
and not totally alert after a seizure. Stay with them, talk to them
calmly, and monitor their breathing until help arrives.
Loss of consciousness can happen for many reasons, but the most
common cause is usually fainting due to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia),
dehydration, or severe emotional stress.
What to do
- Are they breathing?
If not, follow the ABCs of CPR
- Are they responsive
to your questions? Most people who faint will come to
Call for help
- If they are not
alert, place them on the floor, lying on their side, with
the upper leg bent at the knee. This will facilitate drainage
of fluids from the mouth.
- If they regain
consciousness, allow them to assume the position that is most
comfortable for them. Do insist that they remain at rest until
they can be assessed by medical personnel.
- Provide good
air circulation. Remove onlooker crowds from the
area. Open a window, door, or provide a fan. Loosen restrictive
clothing from around the neck (ie-buttoned shirt color, necktie).
- Applying a cool,
moist cloth to face, neck, and head is soothing and sometimes
helps increase alertness.
Talk to them
calmly and try to get more information.
- What happened?
- What are they
- Has this happened
- If it has happened
before, what caused it? What helped?
- Are they taking
- Did they forget
to take their medication?
- Are they allergic
- When did they
eat last, and what?
them anything to eat or drink until they have been cleared by medical
personnel, unless they are diabetic. If the person is diabetic,
are two types of abnormal diabetic reactions; hypoglycemia (low
blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Either one can
cause a person to change behavior or exhibit an altered level of
consciousness, though hypoglycemia is probably more common.
Hypoglycemia occurs when the diabetic patient
Takes too much insulin or oral diabetic medication
Forgets to eat or doesnt eat enough after taking their medication
Exerts more energy than usual. Energy exerted may be physical
activity or emotional.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia
Weak, shaky, trembling
Cold, clammy, diaphoretic (sweaty)
Change in behavior
An easy way to remember
the symptoms is to memorize cold and clammy, need some candy.
What to do
Look for the signs
Are they unconscious, or unable to talk? If so, call
for help immediately. They need an injection of dextrose
(sugar) or glucagon, which requires medical personnel.
If they are still able to talk, ask them if they are diabetic.
- Did they take
- Did they take
other diabetic medication today?
- Did they eat
like they were supposed to?
If the diabetic
is able to swallow, they need sugar in their system. Need
some candy is actually incorrect. What they need is complex
carbohydrates, such as milk or bread. However, those things
are not usually readily available in a classroom. In a pinch,
anything with sugar will do to help them temporarily. Soda,
juice, candy are more likely to be available from another student
or a nearby vending machine. Remember, diet soda has no sugar
and will not help.
If they dont feel better within 10-15 minutes, give them
more sugar. Watch for difficulty breathing or decreased consciousness.
If these occur, call
for help immediately.
Hyperglycemia occurs when
A diabetic patient fails to take their insulin or oral diabetic
A diabetic patient eats too much, or the wrong foods
A diabetic patient experiences severe stress, trauma, or infection.
A diabetic patient has too little or no exercise
Symptoms of hyperglycemia
Hot, flushed, dry skin
Frequent urination in large amounts
Changes in behavior
May have fruity, acidic odor to breath (sometimes mistaken for
easy way to remember the symptoms is to memorize hot and dry,
What to do
Look for the above
Assess their breathing and respond accordingly.
Are they responsive? If so, ask if they have insulin with them
and allow them to administer the insulin if able. If not, wait
for someone trained in administration of insulin. They need
to follow up with medical personnel to determine the reason
behind the hyperglycemia and to manage the symptoms/causes.
heart attack will never happen in your classroom, but it can happen
anywhere, and stress can definitely be a predisposing factor, which
increases the chances of a heart attack occurring in a college classroom.
Symptoms/warning signs of a heart attack
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in
the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or
that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can
include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck,
jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath. This feeling often comes along with
chest discomfort. But it can occur before the chest discomfort.
Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat,
nausea or lightheadedness.
you can see, these symptoms are similar to panic attacks. All symptoms
must be treated as an emergency until diagnosis is made by a medical
What to do
Call for help

I applaud Faith Hall for her recent Letter to the Editor concerning Mt. Zion Episcopal Church in Hedgesville.
This is a historical church that my husband and I attended for several years. We were very welcomed and felt comfortable in this simple, quaint and beautiful historical church with a small membership of 20 or so.
Some newcomers arrived, from a nearby housing development, and thought Mt. Zion needed to "change" some of the interior of the church. We sat in a congregational meeting there one Sunday and listened to suggestions of changing the altar so that the priest was facing us instead of with his back to us while blessing the sacraments. We were absolutely astounded that this "change" would even be considered, let alone voted on. Who were these people with their absurd suggestions? We learned quickly that these people were not natives of Hedgesville nor West Virginia for that matter.
Jim Poisal, following in the footsteps of his ancestors, made sure Mt. Zion was taken care of - doing most maintenance himself or seeing that it was done properly to keep the historical Mt. Zion in its simple grandeur. One can only imagine the disbelief these faithful servants felt when an "addition" to Mt. Zion was being considered and decided upon.
Such a travesty has been done to this church by adding on a Sunday School/social room and I would compare it to adding a state-of-the-art kitchen to the Adam Stephen Home in Martinsburg. You just do not change these historical landmarks; you just allow them to remain in their infinite, historical beauty - forever.
Shame on those responsible for this change!

Reprinted with permission from the online publication Zoe (www.zoenature.org) and Hal Herzog.
While writing Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It’s So Hard to Think Straight About Animals (Harper, 2011), I learned some things that really surprised me. For example, the evidence that pets enhance human health and well-being is weaker than I thought.
I can hear the howls already. If, like me, you’re a pet lover, you’re probably convinced that your pets make you a happier and healthier person. Like most people, I thought “the pet effect” was a firmly established scientific fact.
I’d read books like Marty Becker’s The Healing Power of Pets, and a host of newspaper and magazine articles on
the psychological benefits of pet ownership. I had also encountered many scientific journal articles that began with a statement like “The health and psychological benefits of pets on human physical and psychological health are now well-established.” And I’d heard a slew of conference presentations on “the pet effect.”
But when I started doing the research for the pet chapter in my book, I sorted the scientific journal articles I had amassed into three stacks based on their results—the “good,” “bad,” and “ugly” piles. I was shocked by what I found.
First, the good news
A lot of studies found that health and psychological benefits do accrue from living with animals. Indeed, the field of anthrozoology (the study of human-animal relationships) was jump-started by Erika Friedmann’s groundbreaking
study showing that the one-year death rate of heart attack victims who had pets was one fourth that of people who
did not live with companion animals.
In the three decades since Erika’s study, other benefits of pets on health and psychological well-being have been
documented. These include lower blood pressure and psychological stress, decreased doctor visits and missed days of work, better sleep, increased self-esteem, decreased loneliness and depression, healthier attachment styles, and higher levels of physical activity.
Now the bad news
But as I began to collect more articles on pets and health, I was surprised at the number of studies that found no differences in the health or happiness of people with pets and without.
Further, this “bad” pile kept getting bigger. Among these articles were studies reporting that pet guardianship was not associated with lower psychological stress, blood pressure, heart rate, or depression. Nor was it associated with
increased happiness, life satisfaction, or exercise. And I could find no evidence that people with pets lived longer.
Finally, the really bad news
Then there was the “ugly” pile, the studies that found that pet guardians were actually worse off than people without pets (which did not even include studies of pet-induced injuries and disease). The ugly pile consisted mostly of epidemiological
studies in which pet people were found to be at greater risk for problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic tiredness, insomnia, obesity, hypertension, gastric ulcers, high cholesterol, and migraine headaches.
There is, of course, no evidence that pets are the cause of these problems–just as there is little real evidence that pets cause better health. Nonetheless, one study found that pet owners had elevated diastolic blood pressure, higher body mass index, and were more likely to smoke cigarettes.
And then there is a 2010 study of how heart attack victims fared a year after their initial coronary. After taking
demographic and basic health differences into account, the researchers discovered that the pet owners in the group were twice as likely as non-pet owners to have either died of a heart attack or to have been readmitted to the hospital for cardiac problems. Ouch!
The Bottom Line
But, you ask, if research on the “pet effect” is such a muddle of inconsistency, why do so many people believe it is
an established scientific fact?
One reason is that we want to believe that our pets are good for us. Another is that the media loves feel-good animal stories, yet usually ignores studies that do not support the “pet effect” hypothesis. And the $50 billion-dollar-a-year
pet products industry is pushing the idea that a sweet little Yorkie can lower your blood pressure, make you lose weight, and drive away the blues.
The bottom line, however, is that despite 30 years of research, “the pet effect” is not an established fact, but an

Fans hoping for extra Star Trek Beyond scenes, there is good news and there is bad news.
The movie originally came in at two hours and twenty-seven minutes. “These scenes come in long,” said Lin. “But long and compelling, you know?
“It was interesting because at the end of the day, there [were] only a couple of scenes that I ended up not using. But it was really a contraction issue; a rhythm issue.”
One scene included Scotty’s escape from the Enterprise. “For example, if you see in the movie, Scotty runs into the torpedo bay, and then you see Manas come in, and then you see the torpedo being loaded,” said Lin. “But there was this great one-er of going with Scotty – he’s trapped, he has nowhere to go, and he’s looking and looking and he finds that there’s a torpedo being repaired. And then he reacts like ‘What the hell!’
“Simon did such a great job and I didn’t want to cut…and that was one of the last shots I ended up removing because it was not helping the overall, even though I loved the performance; I loved that moment.”
But fans may not see this deleted scene on a Blu-ray release. “I haven’t decided yet,” said Lin. “I’ll tell you as a filmmaker; I spend hours and days and every frame of that movie; I’m fighting for, you know? And unless the studio gives me the money to go back in and get all those things right, I don’t feel comfortable sharing that.
“If it’s greenscreen and visual effects or CG is not totally done, it takes you out.”

Award-winning chef Tony Hodge is sharpening his knives in anticipation of launching a new carvery service at a hugely popular pub and restaurant between Bognor Regis and Chichester.
Tony, who formerly worked under TV chef Gordon Ramsay at his Maze restaurant in London, says he has listened to diners' suggestions to offer the Sunday servings at the Royal Oak, Lagness from November 28.
He has teamed up with the venue's manager Kay Martin to put the carvery in place with a view to extending the offer to Wednesdays in the New Year.
Tony, who served Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip at London’s prestigious Fishmongers’ Hall during the latter’s 91st birthday celebrations, said: "The response to the launch has been fantastic and we've taken quite a few bookings — it’s already proving popular.
"I've been busy sharpening my knives to slice lovely pork, beef and turkey and we will be serving freshly cooked vegetables very much in the traditional carvery style.
"We're ideally placed between Bognor Regis and Chichester for a little Sunday outing and offering a carvery compliments our extensive menu offerings already in place.”
The news comes as the Royal Oak, Lagness gears up for Christmas with a festive feast available throughout December and a traditional yuletide lunch with all the trimmings on the big day.
Kay, who has worked at the pub for more than 20 years, explained: "We're busier than ever and we know through our customers that Christmas is going to be a bigger event than usual in terms of eating out, simply because of what we have been through with the pandemic.
"Bookings are coming in already and we are delighted to have a number of group bookings from local community set-ups which is great given how much we try to help with charitable causes in and around Bognor Regis and Chichester."

Mantak Chia and Maneewan Chia. Healing Love Through the Tao: Cultivating Female Sexual Energy. Huntington, New York: Healing Tao Books, 1986. Absolutely the best book for women. Never give this to any female with whom you are intimate if you haven't finished your own work. You'll never catch up if she catches on. The ladies learn this stuff more quickly and easily than men because of the structure of the corpus colossum. They've one for male sexual practice called Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. New York: Aurora Press, 1986. You should read both.
Dr. Stephen T. Chang. The Tao of Sexology: The Book of Infinite Wisdom. San Francisco: Tao Publishing, 1988. Combines Chinese medicine and sex therapy in unexpected but beneficial ways. Easy to read and experiment with. Discussion of "million dollar point" is invaluable. However, his discussion of strengthening the immune system to cancel out virus-related infections is not supported by my experience nor observation of others.
Nik Douglas and Penny Slinger. Sexual Secrets: The Alchemy of Ecstasy. New York: Destiny Books, 1979. A wonderful book. Provides cross-cultural tantric practice as well as tips for getting into the attitudes of the gods. Must be read — though looking at the pictures will provide for hours of experimentation. Referred to in code by those in the know as The Big Red Book. The most practical and useful discussion of higher tantric practice I've ever found and I read a lot. No home library is complete without it if you are trying to understand Eastern religion, sexuality, and culture. Margo Anand's The Art of Sexual Ecstasy (Tarcher, 1990) provides modern application of these ancient principles for the beginning Westerner.
Dr. Alan P. Brauer and Donna Brauer. E.S.O., The New Promise of Pleasure for Couples in Love: Extended Sexual Orgasm (an illustrated guide). New York: Warner Books, 1983. It's fun to see what a bright young couple can figure out to do with sexual organs and a Western medical background. Go scientific method!
Gregory J. P. Godek. 1001 Ways To Be Romantic. Weymouth, Mass.: Casablanca Press, 1991. This is my major failing in life. A little bit of this goes a long way. If you want to preserve a relationship or create one, let Godek be your guide. It's never too late. This book is a heartbreaker if you haven't a clue. My ex gave it to me in hopes I would reform. It's a frightening mirror. I've seen women burst into tears when reading it. The marriage you save may be your own.
Miyamoto Musashi. The Book of Five Rings. Woodstock, N.Y. Overlook Press, 1974. There is also a Bantam translation that is very good. The Japanese consider this the equivalent of a Gospel or Veda. It is a guide for the individual warrior and contains many useful techniques for disposing of swordsmen.
Sun Tzu. The Art of War. Any number of translators. I like R.L. Wing's The Art of Strategy. New York: Dolphin/Doubleday, 1988. The guide book for Chinese bandits and inner adventurers everywhere. Like go is to chess, Sun Tzu is to Clauswitz. Avoidance of conflict is the basis of all strategies, leading to eventual total and permanent victory.
Lao Tzu. Tao Te Ching. Aside from the Bible, the most translated book ever written. Once again, I'll support R.L. Wing's translation, The Tao of Power: Lao Tzu's Classic Guide to Leadership, Influence and Excellence. New York: Dolphin/Doubleday, 1986. There is no better prescription for skilled leadership than this subtle and marvelous guide to influencing others.
Lex Hixon. Coming Home: The Experience of Enlightenment in Sacred Traditions. Los Angeles: Tarcher, 1989. Ken Wilber thinks this is the best introductory work on the world's great mystical traditions. Hixon's presentation is unusually clear and easy to read. He moves from ancient tradition to contemporary practice with a knowing skill. This book is more useful for the beginner than John White's What is Enlightenment.
The Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion/Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Hinduism: A Complete Survey of the Teachers, Traditions, and Literature of Asian Wisdom. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 1989. Tells you what the words mean, who the people were, and what important things they said. A helpful text when you are reading and people use esoteric language to demonstrate they've been East or talked to a guru who didn't know English words for his or her practice. (Sometimes there aren't any. Salvation or "being cool" really isn't the equivalent of satori or sammadhi.)
Dr. Christopher M. Bache. Life Cycles: Reincarnation and the Web of Life. New York: Paragon House, 1990. The last two chapters are brilliant and the rest of the book held my attention. The Web of Life and discussion of Sheldrake's field theory had me moving my lips. This is a very useful book as an interpretation of Sun Tzu's commentary on the Divine Web.
Warren Bennis. On Becoming a Leader. New York: Addison Wesley Publishing, 1989. A guide to modern leadership in organizations. Research-based and well written. if you are going to be a leader in the field of martial arts or just an excellent teacher of the way, this book will provide information that is just as useful as the more traditional Oriental texts concerning strategy and leadership.
Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. New York: Harper and Row, 1990. A guide to the inner experiences that make life worthwhile. Psychological support for the Zen experience. He even cites ninjutsu as a possible route to physical liberation. Interesting book if you're pedantic or skeptical enough to need a totally Western viewpoint. He tends to squeeze the juice out of the lemons.
Herbert Silberer. Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts. New York: Dover Publications, 1928. Also J. C. Cooper's An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols. New York: Thames and Hudson, 1987. Cooper explains all kinds of things if you haven't figured out that there is a basis to magic that is rather weird science. A knowledge of symbols becomes very important when you begin to visualize and communicate telepathically. Silberer's book is quite old and way ahead of his time. He was probably burned on a stake. He translates some old German alchemical texts and then performs a Freudian interpretation that is quite good.

A gluon (//) is an elementary particle that acts as the exchange particle (or gauge boson) for the strong force between quarks. It is analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. Gluons bind quarks together, forming hadrons such as protons and neutrons.
In technical terms, gluons are vector gauge bosons that mediate strong interactions of quarks in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Gluons themselves carry the color charge of the strong interaction. This is unlike the photon, which mediates the electromagnetic interaction but lacks an electric charge. Gluons therefore participate in the strong interaction in addition to mediating it, making QCD significantly harder to analyze than quantum electrodynamics (QED).
The gluon is a vector boson, which means, like the photon, it has a spin of 1. While massive spin-1 particles have three polarization states, massless gauge bosons like the gluon have only two polarization states because gauge invariance requires the polarization to be transverse to the direction that the gluon is traveling. In quantum field theory, unbroken gauge invariance requires that gauge bosons have zero mass. Experiments limit the gluon's rest mass to less than a few meV/c2. The gluon has negative intrinsic parity.
This may be difficult to understand intuitively. Quarks carry three types of color charge; antiquarks carry three types of anticolor. Gluons may be thought of as carrying both color and anticolor. This gives nine possible combinations of color and anticolor in gluons. The following is a list of those combinations (and their schematic names):
- red-antired (), red-antigreen (), red-antiblue ()
- green-antired (), green-antigreen (), green-antiblue ()
- blue-antired (), blue-antigreen (), blue-antiblue ()
These are not the actual color states of observed gluons, but rather effective states. To correctly understand how they are combined, it is necessary to consider the mathematics of color charge in more detail.
Color singlet states
It is often said that the stable strongly interacting particles (such as the proton and the neutron, i.e. hadrons) observed in nature are "colorless", but more precisely they are in a "color singlet" state, which is mathematically analogous to a spin singlet state. Such states allow interaction with other color singlets, but not with other color states; because long-range gluon interactions do not exist, this illustrates that gluons in the singlet state do not exist either.
The color singlet state is:
In other words, if one could measure the color of the state, there would be equal probabilities of it being red-antired, blue-antiblue, or green-antigreen.
There are eight remaining independent color states, which correspond to the "eight types" or "eight colors" of gluons. Because states can be mixed together as discussed above, there are many ways of presenting these states, which are known as the "color octet". One commonly used list is:
These are equivalent to the Gell-Mann matrices. The critical feature of these particular eight states is that they are linearly independent, and also independent of the singlet state, hence 32 − 1 or 23. There is no way to add any combination of these states to produce any other, and it is also impossible to add them to make rr, gg, or bb the forbidden singlet state. There are many other possible choices, but all are mathematically equivalent, at least equally complicated, and give the same physical results.
Group theory details
Technically, QCD is a gauge theory with SU(3) gauge symmetry. Quarks are introduced as spinors in Nf flavors, each in the fundamental representation (triplet, denoted 3) of the color gauge group, SU(3). The gluons are vectors in the adjoint representation (octets, denoted 8) of color SU(3). For a general gauge group, the number of force-carriers (like photons or gluons) is always equal to the dimension of the adjoint representation. For the simple case of SU(N), the dimension of this representation is N2 − 1.
In terms of group theory, the assertion that there are no color singlet gluons is simply the statement that quantum chromodynamics has an SU(3) rather than a U(3) symmetry. There is no known a priori reason for one group to be preferred over the other, but as discussed above, the experimental evidence supports SU(3). If the group were U(3), the ninth (colorless singlet) gluon would behave like a "second photon" and not like the other eight gluons.
Since gluons themselves carry color charge, they participate in strong interactions. These gluon-gluon interactions constrain color fields to string-like objects called "flux tubes", which exert constant force when stretched. Due to this force, quarks are confined within composite particles called hadrons. This effectively limits the range of the strong interaction to 1×10−15 meters, roughly the size of an atomic nucleus. Beyond a certain distance, the energy of the flux tube binding two quarks increases linearly. At a large enough distance, it becomes energetically more favorable to pull a quark-antiquark pair out of the vacuum rather than increase the length of the flux tube.
Gluons also share this property of being confined within hadrons. One consequence is that gluons are not directly involved in the nuclear forces between hadrons. The force mediators for these are other hadrons called mesons.
Although in the normal phase of QCD single gluons may not travel freely, it is predicted that there exist hadrons that are formed entirely of gluons — called glueballs. There are also conjectures about other exotic hadrons in which real gluons (as opposed to virtual ones found in ordinary hadrons) would be primary constituents. Beyond the normal phase of QCD (at extreme temperatures and pressures), quark–gluon plasma forms. In such a plasma there are no hadrons; quarks and gluons become free particles.
Quarks and gluons (colored) manifest themselves by fragmenting into more quarks and gluons, which in turn hadronize into normal (colorless) particles, correlated in jets. As revealed in 1978 summer conferences, the PLUTO detector at the electron-positron collider DORIS (DESY) produced the first evidence that the hadronic decays of the very narrow resonance Υ(9.46) could be interpreted as three-jet event topologies produced by three gluons. Later, published analyses by the same experiment confirmed this interpretation and also the spin = 1 nature of the gluon (see also the recollection and PLUTO experiments).
In summer 1979, at higher energies at the electron-positron collider PETRA (DESY), again three-jet topologies were observed, now interpreted as qq gluon bremsstrahlung, now clearly visible, by TASSO, MARK-J and PLUTO experiments (later in 1980 also by JADE). The spin = 1 property of the gluon was confirmed in 1980 by TASSO and PLUTO experiments (see also the review). In 1991 a subsequent experiment at the LEP storage ring at CERN again confirmed this result.
The gluons play an important role in the elementary strong interactions between quarks and gluons, described by QCD and studied particularly at the electron-proton collider HERA at DESY. The number and momentum distribution of the gluons in the proton (gluon density) have been measured by two experiments, H1 and ZEUS, in the years 1996–2007. The gluon contribution to the proton spin has been studied by the HERMES experiment at HERA. The gluon density in the proton (when behaving hadronically) also has been measured.
Color confinement is verified by the failure of free quark searches (searches of fractional charges). Quarks are normally produced in pairs (quark + antiquark) to compensate the quantum color and flavor numbers; however at Fermilab single production of top quarks has been shown.[a] No glueball has been demonstrated.
Deconfinement was claimed in 2000 at CERN SPS in heavy-ion collisions, and it implies a new state of matter: quark–gluon plasma, less interactive than in the nucleus, almost as in a liquid. It was found at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven in the years 2004–2010 by four contemporaneous experiments. A quark–gluon plasma state has been confirmed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by the three experiments ALICE, ATLAS and CMS in 2010.
Jefferson Lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, in Newport News, Virginia,[b] is one of 10 Department of Energy facilities doing research on gluons. The Virginia lab was competing with another facility – Brookhaven National Laboratory, on Long Island, New York – for funds to build a new electron-ion collider. In December 2019 the US Department of Energy selected the Brookhaven National Laboratory to host the electron-ion collider.

The selection process of SNAP 2019 comprises of 3 steps, namely, Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interaction (PI). The admission of an aspirant is based on performance in SNAP exam, selection rounds and candidate’s profile (previous academic performance, work experience etc). Preparation of the final merit list will be based on the weightage parameters given below-
Final Merit List Parameters
SNAP Test Score (scaled to 50 marks)
Group Exercise (GE)
Personal Interaction (PI)
Writing Ability Test (WAT)
Colleges that accept SNAP scores-
IIFT Scores are accepted by Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) with their campus in New Delhi, Kolkata, Kakinada.
Go through the following to know about colleges that accept scores of different entrance test-
First of all I don't how you got your UG graduation degree if you have failed in 12th maths. The eligibility for UG is,the candidate has to pass 12th standard with a minimum of 50%. Then the candidate will be given admission for any of the UG degrees. Since you haven't cleared you 12th standard you cannot take Symbiosis National Aptitude Test.
SNAP is a national level entrance test conducted by Symbiosis International University annually in online mode for various programs which includes MSc in Computer Application and System Security as well.
Candidate should have 50% aggregate at their graduation level, however there's relaxation for reserved category, for SC/ST/PWD it's only 45%. Final year students can also apply, but their admission shall be provisional until submission of required documents.
Dear Shivani, there is no option of Seat locking at any these exams that you have mentioned. Admisisons are conducted based on merit list in the selection process. Because these are Institute level entrance exams, you dont have the option of locking a seat.
SNAP: You need to appear for SNAP and score the minimum cut off to be eligible for shortlisting. The shortlisted Candidates have to appear for GE-PIWAT and the final merit list is prepared based on the performance in GE-PIWAT.
IBSAT: The process is similar to that of SNAP. Candidates need to qualify in IBSAT and secure the minimum qualifying marks. Candidates will be shortlisted based on Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
CMAT: AICTE approved Institutions that participate in CMAT will conduct the selection procedure. Candidates will have to appear for Group Discussion and Personal Interview based on the Institution they are interested in joining. For the selection process of CMAT, please visit our page at:

Hello dear Friends!
I hope You all had a very Merry Christmas and amazing New Year. I hope 2017 will bring You a lot of luck, love and happiness.
When one year ends and another starts it’s time for some sum up and new plans. So let’s see what happened to me in 2016:
First of all I’ve met so many wonderful people this year. Thanks to AIESEC program and Montessori conference I made some new international friendships. This year I was fortunate to meet: Vincent Aw, Vasuki de Silva, Ivy Sun, Patti and Emily Sobelman, Paul Epstein, Tanya Ryskind, Giulia Bergamo, Jafar Baturov and Jian Wen Xuan.
|With Paul Epstein, Patti Sobelman and Tanya Ryskid from USA|
|With Patti and Emily Sobelman from USA|
|With Giulia Bergamo from Brasil|
|With Jafar from Tajikistan and Daryl from China|
|With Ejona from Albania|
|With Vasuki from Sri Lanka|
|With Ivy from China/Australia|
|With Vincent from Malaysia|
Secondly I’ve started another year in Montessori. This time with more tasks and duties. As you all known I am teaching English to my preschoolers, I am also leading some dance group and I am an interpreter. I am especially happy of how my dancing kids classes are going do far, as it is the first school year when we have dancing classes for our kids.
There was some time for stitching as well. I haven’t done much but I am very happy with the pieces I’ve stitched this year. I still want to do some pieces I’ve listed some time ago and I am pretty sure that the time for them will come soon.
Another resolution was to not cut my hair during 2016. This one I kept and I will still go on it. In this resolution I am hardly supported by some friends of mine and surprisingly my Boss!
So what are my plans for 2017? Keep stitching and reading as much as possible. Improve my English and French skills. Fulfill all my tasks at preschool. Teach my students as much English and new dances as possible. Make my dreams come true, change my life… I hope this year will be much better than the last one (and I don’t think 2016 was bad) with great opportunities, people, successes and as much love and happiness as possible.

The agricultural area shown above is an area of north-central Italy that usually does not experience earthquakes. On May 20, however, it experienced a 6.0 quake, with several modest aftershocks following.
Compared to other quakes that have been in the news in recent years, this was relatively small and casualties, though tragic, were few. Seven people died in the quake -- four while working in ceramic or food factories, many of which were damaged and three from fright-related medical problems.
More than $250,000,000 was lost in agricultural products, a lot of it in a surprising way. The area is known for its cheeses. You can use Google maps above to find the distance from the epicenter to the city of Parma, known for a famous cheese that may be in short supply for the next while. Because fine cheese are aged in large wheels, the earthquake in a few seconds damaged up to two years worth of production.
Tens of thousands of wheels -- each weighing more than 80 pounds and worth over $500 -- were damaged. Some might be salvaged, but exposure to air means that mold will ruin most of the cheese before it can be repackaged.

Last week, on an art pilgrimage to Madrid (there's a lot of Goya there), my painter gf Jane and I were staying in a first-floor apartment. The neighborhood, on the hill above the Prado, was infested by tourists (especially American school groups) as well as Spaniards and people from Latin America. Outside our window one afternoon as school let out, I heard a group of Spanish girls walk by, singing (particularly well) to Ariana Grande. Two American black girls walked past them, and I heard the surprised-but-still-bored voice of one: "There's nothing but hip-hop over here!"
I imagined her thought balloon: did I travel to this beautiful exotic European capital to hear Ariana Grande? Maybe I should have stuck in [Philly, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles].
The world appears to be growing more homogeneous, but people have said that since Karl Marx started talking about globalization in 1848. It's hard not to see the trend as intensifying, which threatens to leave the world with a single uninteresting culture. We noticed the craft breweries and artisanal cheese shops, which could have been transported in their entirety from Brooklyn.
Would-be Internet influencers were everywhere, and the various imperial palaces and parks were filled with pretty girls being photographed making sexy faces, at all levels of seriousness from the iPhone snap to the full-fledged photo shoot. Well, that's in NYC too, of course, though maybe not this heavy: it was everywhere. In passing, I don't see the trend as sustainable: what's Madrid or the world going to do with the next million pretty-girl Instagram pics?
Scooters and Ubers were everywhere, to the point where you might momentarily think yourself in Nashville or Santa Monica.
As I say, this isn’t a new trend, and Madrid’s been an international city for many centuries. It’s an imperial capital, and the architecture and street layout in parts recall others of that ilk: Paris, for example, or DC, or London: wide boulevards, triumphal arches, gigantic piles of marble. The Royal Palace in Madrid is one of the most intimidating and ugly buildings in Europe, or was until the advent of architectural brutalism. In all these cities, beauty as the planners understood it was ancillary to the expression and celebration of political power, i.e. political oppression.
Gold, stripped from the Western hemisphere, funded it, and also the amazing art that’s housed in palaces and even convents. When you're looking at Velazquez (Las Meninas) and Goya (The Third of May), you’re looking at the work of the greatest painters who ever lived. But you’re also looking at the work of servants of the Royal family, as you can tell because it’s dominated by portraits of the notably unattractive Spanish royals.
The Prado serves the function that’s also served in slightly different ways by the Louvre and the National Galleries in DC and London: displays of loot. But man is it good loot. And even if Spanish painters dominate the Prado, the tastes were already international when the collection was formed; the Spanish royal family was obsessed by Dutch and Flemish painting, for example, and gathered it in a vast hoard in Madrid, along with Latin American furniture, etc. The princes or their servants appear to have numbered every painting, with paint, in the corner of the canvases, at once claiming and defacing them, or reminding you at every turn who owns what.
Certainly, the art and architecture bespeak a Europe-wide political culture that has been developing for centuries. In integrating the politics to some extent and making it effortless to cross borders, the EU has intensified this process, and there might’ve been as many tourists from other EU countries in Madrid as American or Chinese people. Until the recent outbreak of populism, all Europe appeared to be merging into a sort of progressive semi-socialism under the auspices of a European mega-state. You can see how this might be experienced as a loss of identity, a loss of beauty, a loss of history. You can see how it might provoke a backlash.
So the aesthetics, like the food, music, political spectra and the selfies (Goya's greatest self-portraits are in Madrid, at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando), have been merging for a long time. But in this context, the differences appear all the more salient. I found that I wasn’t that worried overall by Spanish Americanism, as I haven’t been worried about American Europeanism (I don't know where the phrase “artisanal cheese” originates, but it might not be Brooklyn). In Spain, as in so many other places, despite the tourism and despite the Internet, an American is perfectly aware that he's someplace else, or that everything is a little different.
It's like Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction, wondering at the slight differences between McDonald's in LA and McDonald's in Paris: the differences are complexly interwoven with the similarities. But everything is different, slightly or hugely. The shape of the day is different. Philly's bustling by seven a.m., Madrid not till nine; businesses might close for a couple of hours at mid-day. Waitpersons still seem irritated or puzzled when you ask for the check; they're operating on a different rhythm.
We were talking to a twentysomething from Cuba, and he told us that he loved Madrid, but was still working on trying to move himself and his parents and siblings to the States, where he thinks there’s the most economic opportunity for a hustler such as he presented himself. But then he said, "I'm not sure I could live there. It's the pace. Don't you people ever relax?" An American might still look at Europeans sipping espresso in an outdoor cafe and ask, "Don't you people ever do anything else?"
And even as the pop music and the Kardashian look takes over the globe, local traditions are still valued and emphasized, if nothing else than for tourism, because tourists want above all an experience of authenticity. But the crowd that was in the Cardamomo flamenco joint when we went was mostly Spanish-speaking, and local people (of course) might tend to value their traditions as well. It's like going to a bluegrass festival, for example: the traditions are consciously preserved or even simulated. But the question of authenticity might be the wrong question, or not the only question, and traditions persist by conscious decision as well as by spontaneous expression. At any rate, the rhythms of flamenco remain some of the most astonishing and complex in the world, and even if we couldn't quite convince ourselves that we inhabited the 1950s or 1850s, we couldn't deny that we were in Spain.
In other words, the homogenization appears in complement to an emphasis—ever more conscious—on tradition. The more similar we grow to each other, the more we are fascinated by, and the more we are conscious of our traditions, and the more we value or need our differences. Big chunks of the world have been in the dialogue for hundreds of years now. The politics of world empire or the ubiquitous inroads of capitalism suck us into similarity or seek to erase differences. But that makes the differences all the more conspicuous and cherished.
I wouldn't worry about losing cultures like these, and capitalism isn’t exactly cultural genocide in most of its permutations. It uses or markets the differences. But that’s only possible because these differences are valued or needed. World culture, whether administered out of Washington, or Madrid, is incredibly boring and banal without the strange moments, the bizarre sub-cultures, a turn back to tradition, or even the backlash of nationalism.
It's still worth spending time elsewhere, and no elsewhere is merely everywhere yet. The homogenization is part of what drives the preservation or the reinterpretation of differences. The food on the Iberian peninsula is great, even with the fusion. And the light is different than it is in Baltimore. Everything, indeed, is different. Except the Internet girls.

Immortal Champion by Kristin Secorsky *Review
Posted by brriske
Married off to an older man, Aeliana has never had the love and passion she desires. After Titus dies, Aeliana finds herself deep in debt to a man named Augustus, who wants her more than his money. Aeliana is under pressure to marry Augustus or risk losing everything to him when a mysterious free gladiator, Gernot, suddenly turns up offering to help with a deal too good for her to refuse. Gernot is full of secrets, and Aeliana can’t seem to stop herself from falling for him.
Gernot is seeking the whereabouts of Tiberius and his pack after the eruption of Vesuvius. Deceived into sailing with Amara to Egypt, he makes his way back to Rome in search of his pack. He finds himself in Capua, fighting as a gladiator in the arena to help a beautiful woman. Gernot is torn between continuing the search for his pack and the woman he loves. Gernot, the unbeatable champion of the arena, is the only thing standing between Augustus and what he desires most. Augustus’s scheming becomes increasingly dangerous, but he is not the only danger Gernot faces.
Warning: This book contains graphic language, explicit sex, and other subjects not appropriate for YA readers.
I want my own Gernot and I want him now!!! I am in awe of Kristin’s ability to weave such an intoxicating tale. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down.Now normally I’m not into historical romance but this is so much more than that.Not only is there such a love story between Germot and Aeliana that it makes me smile, there’s also plenty of action with blood thirsty vampires and gladiators. I can’t wait to see what’s next for these amazing characters and any more Kristin can think up. 5 awesome fangs.

Tonight I will be doing what I usually do, taking reservations for United Airlines, although I have a feeling fewer people will be calling than usual. We have memorial services planned throughout the day (as I type this I am wearing a ribbon we have been given remembering specifically the pilots, flight attendents, CSR's and passengers who were lost on the flights).
We had our memorial Sunday mornign at church, and Dad used some material that quoted from the Max Lucado prayer. Someone asked if he had a copy of the whole thing, which he didn't, so Mike, thanks for the link. Tonight the church may, if everyone is willing, go to a candlelight service at a local high school which one of our teenagers (or more accurately, our one teenager) will participate in.

Pipeline to Prison?
| USF News
Do zero tolerance school policies go too far?
Perhaps, for certain groups of students, according to USF graduate student Eric S. Hall and assistant professor Zorka Karanxha.
In a recently published article, the researchers provide a critical examination of how zero tolerance policies are applied and what happens to the young people who all-too-often find themselves victimized by the policies.
"In essence, we are witnessing students who misbehave in school, doing things that are not a threat to public safety, being arrested and punished in the same way as those students who constitute actual safety threats," they write. "This practice results in the funneling of many future contributing members of our society into juvenile facilities while perpetuating the marginalization of our nation's most at-risk students."
Throughout their article, the authors show how the criminalization of low-level infractions and minor violence — the sort that were once easily handled or ignored by schools — and the growing presence of law enforcement "resource officers," combined with harsh disciplinary practices, such as suspension and expulsion, has led to increasing arrests and more.
Hall and Karanxha argue for moving away from punitive methods toward more development and educational approaches applied to student discipline and misbehavior.
"The youth of today are not the enemy, but our future," they conclude. "Our commitment to them, their safety and their success is evident by the way we treat, nurture and respect each child. We need to close the pathway that takes students from schools today, and places them in jails tomorrow."

At the age of 13, Brad Ludden’s parents told him he could do anything he wanted with his life. He took it literally and did the thing he loved the most–whitewater kayaking. By 18 he was living his dream; he had signed on as Nike’s first sponsored whitewater kayaker, was on the cover of Outside Magazine, traveling the globe in search of first descents on remote rivers, and filming with the largest production companies in the outdoor industry.
Despite all of his success, something was missing. Brad wanted to share the positive bounty of whitewater kayaking by giving the gift of outdoor adventure to others who needed it more.
After watching his Aunt fight cancer, he started First Descents, an organization that provides free outdoor adventure therapy to young adults with cancer. The organization has helped over 2,000 young adults live beyond their disease by providing them free multi-day adventure experiences.
Brad is an excellent example of someone spreading the love. Perhaps because of his early success, and the ultimate push to ever-increasing risk that comes with it, Brad saw beyond his own experiences. He turned his striving for excellence into a desire to share his experiences with others.
Brad could have simply brought his friends kayaking. Or he could have been happy with the first 15 clients that experienced the transformative power of moving water that first summer. But that wasn’t enough.
Brad is still in the forefront at First Descents, opening new participants to outdoor adventures, and his work is truly making a difference.
Join me this Wednesday at 8 am Pacific on The Edge Radio when I talk to Brad Ludden about his own first descents, the First Descents organization and the power of getting out on the edge.

America's Largest Social Network for Default Real Estate Professionals
People are posting on FB now about this company, do not fall for it
Public service announcement. Do not trust anyone from Optimal REO Solution who wants to give you REO listing but you need to pay $499 upfront. They even provided a review from better business bureau to give them "credibility". It's another scam... I wish these people work for a living instead of feeding off unsuspected Realtors.
Another REO scam company to report. Optimal REO Solutions. Complete scam. Total ripoff. Hang up the phone and report them to other agents. Same as Lear scam.

When it launched in 2008, DC's "Titans" grew out of a respect for the shared history of heroes like Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg and the rest of the cast of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's legendary "New Teen Titans." And although this May, that era may be definitively dead and buried thanks to the actions of DCU assassin supreme Deathstroke, it doesn't mean a sense of history is leaving the now villain-centric series. Quite the opposite in fact.
"What I would say is, 'Beware the past,'" said incoming "Titans" writer Eric Wallace. "The past does have a tendency to catch up with you sooner or later."
Kicking off with the recently announced "Titans: Villains For Hire" one-shot and then ricocheting into the ongoing series with issue #24, Wallace and artist Fabrizio Fiorentino will be bringing a series of hard edged twists to the Titans franchise with an all-villain cast led by Deathstroke and featuring the Tatooed Man, Chesire and a few other mysterious surprises. "Call it the supervillain version of 'Inglourious Basterds' in a certain sense. It's people with a very specific mission, and that mission becomes ridiculously clear in the special. Right out of the gate, you know what's going on. The big questions are how they accomplish it and what the consequences are once they have. Deathstroke leading the Titans is shocking, so you've got to ask yourself, 'Why would they follow him?' There is a reason. And there are hints even in the title of that first special."
Wallace remains a new face to comic fans, though the writer's resumé has plenty of nerd credentials on it, including his current day job scripting episodes for the science fiction TV series "Eureka." The writer explained that a tortured take on foes both familiar and under-developed is what he hopes will humanize his cast in an era where DC will be heading into a summer marked by the "Brightest Day" branding. "The 'Brightest Day' aspect of it means we're going to see some exciting but pretty radical changes in the lives of Deathstroke's Titans. I think we're going to go to places that have been hinted at – especially in the classic Marv Wolfman/George Perez run, which is my favorite, and I say that unabashedly so. They went to a few places that could be considered rather dark, and we're taking some of that and spinning it in a new direction that on one side honors what came before it, but is also completely brand new so people who have never read 'Titans' or 'Teen Titans' can come on and get a brand new comic book. In order to do that, we're going to have to do some very unique things and make some radical changes."
The first stop for Wallace and Fiorentino in the team-building "Villains For Hire" one-shot will be Mark Richards – the so-called Tattooed Man who was the star of their recent "Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink" mini series. "He is born of not just ink, but of pain. It's that pain that causes a great contradiction in his life and the way he interacts with others. It's perfect for someone like Slade – someone who can take advantage of that pain and bring them into the fold to either get rid of their pain or to fall victim to it. That makes Tattooed Man the perfect candidate for a Deathstroke-led group of heroes."
But beyond that early tease, Wallace remained quiet on the ins and outs of Slade Wilson's cast of miscreants, instead promising that what readers would get, regardless of the player, is a look into the deeper history that makes them who they are. "As much as I'd love to tell everybody the lineup, which has been finalized, I can't! I will say, though, that in contrast to the big action, we're trying to create a very intense pace for this book. You'll see that from the team's first appearance – the intense nature of their mission. Juxtaposed in my first issue with the high action are going to be these incredibly personal stories. That's what we really learned of what worked in the Perez/Wolfman stories of the '80s and why they're so eternal. It's how much we got to know people on a personal level. That will remain true in a deep level for this new team."
And re-teaming with a penciler he just found his groove with allowed Wallace to strike a new tone on the page for his new take on "Titans." "I love Fabrizio's art. He just continues to get better. For those folks who read the 'Ink' book, I think that was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what he can do. In 'Ink' #5, there's a double-page splash showing the origin of the Tattooed Man where he took his art to a whole new level, and we're going to take it even further than that. This is a book that's going to have a lot of breathing room for action. From page one in the first special, you'll be taken on a breathless ride. I think Fabrizio brings not just fluidity to the action, but a kind of hyper-realism. It's real, yet it's stylized and so unique. It's perfect for a brand new team."
From this "Brightest Day" tie-in to the recent "Blackest Night" one-off issue "Power of Shazam" #48, Wallace explained that he's quickly finding a place for himself in the broader plans for the DCU's future, which comes with its own set of challenges. "It was really difficult trying to balance the entire history of the Marvel Family and all their great mythology with a single, one-shot story. A lot had happened with Billy, Mary, Freddie, everybody really – both on the hero side and the villain side – and this is just the first part of what DC has planned for them in terms of coming back and getting them back into the spotlight.
"I think what you'll see is that the book opens up a new chapter for the Marvel Family...and that's in a small way. I don't mean to make it out to be monumental, but it is the beginning of something that's going to take them in a different direction where you're going to see some characters in a light you haven't seen them in before. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the surprises."
And for now, surprise remains the name of the game on "Titans" as readers wait to see whether the new take will ignite a new interest in the book's future. "On the rest of the team – even the characters fans already know and have seen for years – we're going to see many sides to them, some that seem contradictory. But that's called 'being human.' That's what I think is going to make them so exciting."

Tuesday, September 15, 2015
In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one -- Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential voters are turning to another glib egomaniac to be his successor.
No doubt much of the stampede of Republican voters toward Mr. Trump is based on their disgust with the Republican establishment. The fact that the next two biggest vote-getters in the polls are also complete outsiders -- Dr. Ben Carson and Ms. Carly Fiorina -- reinforces the idea that this is a protest.
It is easy to understand why there would be pent-up resentments among Republican voters. But are elections held for the purpose of venting emotions?
No national leader ever aroused more fervent emotions than Adolf Hitler did in the 1930s. Watch some old newsreels of German crowds delirious with joy at the sight of him. The only things at all comparable in more recent times were the ecstatic crowds that greeted Barack Obama when he burst upon the political scene in 2008.
Elections, however, have far more lasting, and far more serious -- or even grim -- consequences than emotional venting. The actual track record of crowd-pleasers, whether Juan Peron in Argentina, Obama in America or Hitler in Germany, is very sobering, if not painfully depressing.
The media seem to think that participation in elections is a big deal. But turnout often approaches 100 percent in countries so torn by bitter polarization that everyone is scared to death of what will happen if the other side wins. But times and places with low voter turnout are often times and places when there are no such fears aroused by having an opposing party win.
Despite many people who urge us all to vote, as a civic duty, the purpose of elections is not participation. The purpose is to select individuals for offices, including President of the United States. Whoever has that office has our lives, the lives of our loved ones and the fate of the entire nation in his or her hands.
An election is not a popularity contest, or an award for showmanship. If you want to fulfill your duty as a citizen, then you need to become an informed voter. And if you are not informed, then the most patriotic thing you can do on election day is stay home. Otherwise your vote, based on whims or emotions, is playing Russian roulette with the fate of this nation.
All the hoopla over Donald Trump is distracting attention from a large field of other candidates, some of whom have outstanding track records as governors, where they demonstrated courage, character and intelligence. Others have rhetorical skills like Trump or a serious mastery of issues, unlike Trump.
Even if Trump himself does not end up as the Republican nominee for the presidency, he will have done a major disservice to both his party and the country if his grandstanding has cost us a chance to explore in depth others who may include someone far better prepared for the complex challenges of this juncture in history.
After the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, we are entering an era when people alive at this moment may live to see a day when American cities are left in radioactive ruins. We need all the wisdom, courage and dedication in the next president -- and his or her successors -- to save us and our children from such a catastrophe.
Rhetoric and showmanship will certainly not save us.
Donald Trump is not the only obstacle to finding leaders of such character. The ultimate danger lies in the voting public themselves. All too many signs point to an electorate including many people who are grossly uninformed or, worse yet, misinformed.
The very fact that the voting age was lowered to 18 shows the triumph of the vision of elections as participatory rituals, rather than times for fateful choices. If anything, the age might have been raised to 30, since today millions of people in their 20s have never even had the responsibility of being self-supporting, to give them some sense of reality.
We can only hope that the months still remaining before the first primary elections next year will allow voters to get over their emotional responses and concentrate on the life and death implications of choosing the next President of the United States.

Whitney Houston movie does well opening weekend. Well from what I heard, the Whitney Houston authorized movie is very good. I had the thought that is should be a documentary shown on Lifetime or another cable channel, but I may be wrong. People are going to see this movie and now I want to see it too. The movie grossed 1.25 million which does not seem like a lot but when you are up against movie blockbusters like Ant Man getting in the top 15 is good. This movie is what the family endorsed and participated in so the truth is in the mix.

How cute are these Brick Stitch Arrow Necklaces by Butterflies and Baubles? Such a fun fall accessory and a great gift to start making for Christmas!
Four words... Caramel Apple Cheesecake... YUM! The Country Chic Cottage made it even better by putting it in a cute mason jar.
This is some serious fall crafting by The Navage Patch. They shared their Pottery Barn Inspired Outdoor Metal Pumpkins with us. You have to check this out!

The debate "No man walks around boasting that he has an ex-wife whose vagina stinks and is worthless" was started by
May 7, 2018, 9:54 pm.
12 people are on the agree side of this discussion, while 4 people are on the disagree side.
People are starting to choose their side.
It looks like most of the people in this community are on the agreeing side of this statement.
Najam1 posted 1 argument to the agreers part.
posted the first argument on this debate as an agreeing part.
Najam1, tylathecat, nivasprashanth, Keto, greencat and 7 visitors agree.
crispsandchips and 3 visitors disagree.
So why does a woman get a pass and considered enticing if she walks around boasting and complaining about previous sexual encounters of men actively refusing sex with her?
Stalking is stalking.

After reviewing the properties of the geodesic flow on the three dimensional
ellipsoid with distinct semi-axes, we investigate the three-dimensional ellipsoid with
the two middle semi-axes being equal, corresponding to a Hamiltonian invariant
under rotations. The system is Liouville-integrable, and symmetry reduction leads
to a (singular) system on a two-dimensional ellipsoid with an additional potential
and with a hard billiard wall inserted in the middle coordinate plane. We show that
the regular part of the image of the energy momentum map is not simply connected
and there is an isolated critical value for zero angular momentum. The singular
fiber of the isolated singular value is a doubly pinched torus multiplied by a circle.
This circle is not a group-orbit of the symmetry group, and thus analysis of this
fiber is non-trivial. Finally we show that the system has a non-trivial monodromy,
and consequently does not admit single valued globally smooth action variables.

For my birthday (and her pre-quals de-stresser) Carie took me to the San Diego Zoo. There were lots of cute and cool animals, but I didn't take very many pictures of them. I did get a good picture of a red-haired primate mocking me:
By far the best parts were at dusk and dark (the zoo stayed open until 9pm). At dusk we watched the otters play and once it got dark we wandered over to the big cats, who were much more active than one usually gets to see. Even the snow leopards were up and moving! We watched two cougars from four feet away size us up for dinner. Those are some powerful, scary cats. It's unnerving to think that they live in the wild where we play.

Rihanna’s latest campaign with MAC is finally here!
Rihanna unveiled her second campaign with Viva Glam MAC today on Twitter. In the ad, the singer is sporting a neon green wig and dress. Interesting look, isn’t it?
MAC revealed on their website that they’ve partnered with the singer on a frosted metallic mauve lipstick and lipgloss. They added Rihanna’s “fearless, confident style” made her perfect for the campaign.
The lipstick for Viva Glam Rihanna II will come in warm mauve with silver frost, while the lipgloss will be a cool mauve with red frost. Priced at $16 and $15 each, it’s probably the closest (and cheapest) you can get to covering Rihanna’s ever-changing look.
There’s another reason to make like RiRi and get icy — in keeping with their past promise, MAC said all profits from Viva Glam Rihanna II will go to “helping women and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.”
What’s the verdict… Are you a fan?

Characterization of the binding of CRM1 or importin β to Tpr or C-Tpr. Panel A: Binding was analyzed in the absence of RanGTP and NES (empty circles) or presence of RanGTP and NES (filled triangles) or absence of RanGTP and presence of NES (filled circles). Increasing eqimolar concentrations of CRM1, RanGTP and NES were incubated with Tpr and bound CRM1 was quantified as described in materials and methods. Panel B: Binding to Tpr was analyzed with increasing concentrations of importin β (filled circles) or importin β I178D (inverted triangles). Binding to C-Tpr was analyzed with increasing concentrations of importin β. The results are from duplicates of a single typical experiment. The standard deviation was <5% of the mean. The data were fitted to the equation B(Y) = Bmax × Y/(Kd + Y) (using Kaleida Graph software) where Y is the concentration of CRM1 (Panel A) or importin β/importin β I178D (Panel B) and B is the amount of CRM1(Panel A) or importin β/importin β I178D (Panel B) specifically bound. The correlation coefficients of the data to the fitted curves were >0.99.

Robert Neuwirth tells us about life in the informal economy, what French culture classifies as System D. 1.8 billion people on the planet subsist through economic transactions that happen outside legal spheres and, by 2020, two thirds of our planet will be doing business in this domain. The future is the free market vs. the flea market.

while hiking through the woods at jonah's mother's house we always pass this old abandoned house. towards the back of it is a wall that is ready to fall and looks like it used to be a kitchen. there are four tiles that remain on the wall and two of them have amazing ships on them! they are great old tiles. i always think the wall will be gone the next time we are there, so here they are close up...

I just hooked up my new (used) hafler p3000 to my NS10's.
Question is, how do I get the voulme down?
In Pro Tools, either the Master fader is down or the track has to be down. if not the volume is too loud! I mix at conversation level a lot. Before I had a Yamaha P2100 Amp and it worked fine. I could turn the levels way down on the Yamaha amp. I always kept my Master fader in Pro Tools at unity gain (where it should stay I'm told). Any ideas? Find another Yamaha power amp? (which I thought sounded nicer imho before it started crapping out)
You seriously need a monitor controller with a big volume knob... either a Mackie Big Knob, a Presonus Central Station, or for more money, a Dangerous Monitor ST, Crange Song Avocet, or a Grace Monitor Controller. Either that or get a console. Good luck.

Garmin this afternoon introduced an integrated avionics system for light turbine-powered airplanes. Dubbed G3000, the new system sets itself apart by using menu-driven touchscreens for accessing nearly all of the functions that pilots normally control with myriad buttons and dials. Intended for the upper echelon of the Part 23 business aircraft market, the G3000 cockpit adds a pair of 5.7-inch-diagonal touchscreen controllers below the main flight displays. The screens incorporate a variety of icons for performing flight management tasks, radio control, audio adjustment, synoptics and other functions, which, when pressed, provide access to system pages arranged by phase of operation. “Back” and “home” buttons let pilots quickly retrace their steps or return to the main screen. The basic hardware behind the scenes in the G3000 system is the same as that found in the G1000 avionics system. The G3000 system’s all new “extra wide” primary and multifunction LED-backlit displays measure 14.1 inches diagonally versus the G1000’s typical 10.4-inch screen size. FAA certification of the new avionics system is targeted for the second half of 2011. The first OEM customers to choose the G3000 system are expected to make announcements tomorrow in Orlando, Fla., at NBAA’09.

Even if you have it in a layer your ads will be drawn within their own UIView, so moving the layer would have little to no effect, the ads are part of the iOS view hierarchy, the whole cocos2dx view is just a single view, regardless of your layers, sprites, etc. So you’ll need to stack a new view on top which is your ads, and your game will be under it.
I hope that makes sense… But for the most part, pull down the code from the bitbucket I posted, and then try the methods for the hide / show, and see if that’s what you want. You can even extend it to not use iAds if you wish to not have them, (although it will fall back automatically anyway, but if you didn’t want to include the sdk).
To enable / hide the ads i’m just using NSNotifications, so I scribbled up a small ‘bridge’ class for that, I’ve added that to the repo as well.
Hope that helps

1 vanilla Candi Quik
2 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
10 oz. bag Starlight Mints
1. In blender/food processor, chop starlight mints. I used slightly less than the whole bag. I also done grind it up so that it is powder, I like to leave it in very small pieces that gives the bark a slight crunch.
2. Microwave Candi Quik according to package directions until creamy.
3. Add peppermint extract to Candi Quik and stir. Then add crush mints and stir.
4. Spread on baking sheet cover with tin foil and place in fridge until solid.
5. Break pieces up and serve.
Start to finish hands on time with this was no more than 5 minutes and people really really like this around the holidays. I like to spread mine super thin so one package gets me quite a bit, you may need to double the recipe if you like it thicker!

“It’s a challenge to make infrastructure, as a topic, sexy, but i know these people can do it,” said this morning’s plenary session moderator Ray Suarez, senior correspondent for NewsHour.
The stimulating conversation (Suarez says he couldn’t get the scheduled panelists to stop talking backstage) included the following government and business leaders:
Kofi Annan, Former Secretary General, United Nations; President, Kofi Annan Foundation
John T. Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco
Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO, Renault-Nissan Alliance
Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO, General Electric
Kristina Peterson, President, Gemini Solar Development Company; Vice President, Finance, Suntech America
Each of them had their own big idea about what they think is the biggest priority for infrastructure development. Kofi Annan wants to find a solution to water management. John Chambers wants to see the proliferation of broadband Internet to enable innovation, productivity and job creation. Jeffrey Immelt wants to see a systems-wide effort to improve infrastructure technology. Kristina Peterson wants to see solar energy become a mainstream source of power. And finally, Carlos Ghosn wants to solve global problems with low-cost, low-emission transportation.
Ghosn’s push to bring “zero-emission” electric cars to countries all over the world generated a particuarly lively discussion, and very much relevant to TheCityFix.
Considering the dramatically rising rates of car ownership around the world, especially in China, India and South America, “you have to go to zero emissions in order to sustain mobility,” the chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance said. “The only question is, are we ready now, or should we wait five more years until we have better technology, lower cost, etc.? We think the time is now.”
What’s needed is collaboration between the public and private sector, Ghosn continued. “We [i.e. business] can bring the technology, propose solutions, and then country by country, governments will select what they want for their own utilization.”
The technology that he proposes is the electric car — a niche product, for sure. And one that will rely on integrated solutions to clean the power grid and provide low-cost, convenient charging stations for consumers.
“If you make electricity out of coal or oil, the electric car is a gimmick, it is not serious,” Ghosn said. “Still, if you have have 100% of the grid powered by coal or oil, the electric car is still cleaner than a normal gasoline or diesel engine. It emits just 15% more than best hybrid on the market. But, if instead of coal and oil giving 100% of the electricity, if you start to put nuclear, hydrogen, wind, solar, wood, gas [into the energy mix], you are in a completely different word because then you have zero, two, three perecent of the emissions of a normal car.”
Kofi Annan wants to make sure solutions like the electric car aren’t limited to rich populations.
“[The electric car is] a good example of a clean, innovative technology,” he said, “but how do you ensure that new technologies are also available to the Third World, which has very low emissions now, so that they don’t repeat the mistakes of the past?”
John Chambers echoed similar words of caution, saying, “If all we do is improve what we’ve done in the past, we’ll only get gradual improvement and we’ll never find a solution.” He advocated for government policies to encourage capital market innovation and competition, but not for governments to handpick the winners.
Jeffrey Immelt agreed that it’s a “systems problem” that requires breaking down the silos between different agencies. “You have to align technology, government policy, capital markets, and exeuction skills,” he said. “The government is just a central part in how that goes…. You have to have good public-private partnerships.”
Speaking of public-private partnerships, EMBARQ, the producer of TheCityFix blog, recently won an award from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University for it’s public-private partnership, formed with the Center for Sustainable Transport in Mexico, the Mexico City government, and other partner organizations, to launch Metrobus, one of the largest bus rapid transit (BRT) systems in the world.

Emaar Misr, the wholly-owned Egyptian subsidiary of Emaar Properties PJSC, has expanded its development portfolio in the country with two new mixed-use projects that will boost the local economy by generating employment, facilitating tourism growth and strengthening the domestic property market.
Company Chairman Mohamed Ali Alabbar unveiled the two community projects located at New Cairo City and on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road at a media conference held in Cairo last evening.
The two projects complement Emaar Misr’s Marassi and Uptown Cairo developments that have been revamped to suit a new masterplan with development on-going as per schedule. Emaar Misr is the largest private foreign direct investor in Egypt and the total development value of Emaar Misr’s projects is now EGP31.67 billion (AED 20.37 billion; US$5.54 billion).
“Emaar Misr has ambitious growth plans for Egypt, which is a key market in Emaar’s international expansion,” said Mr Alabbar. “The restructuring of Emaar Misr has given the company the desired impetus to build further on the Egyptian economy’s strong fundamentals and add value by creating more employment opportunities for the Egyptians and boosting the property sector through world-class developments.”
He added: “The community projects at New Cairo City and on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road are two valuable additions to our portfolio in Egypt that also highlight our commitment to the country’s economic progress. Emaar Misr’s projects are on par with our developments in 14 other countries world-wide.”
Emaar Misr is also in discussions with the Ministry of Housing to develop residential communities for the low- to middle-income segment. “We believe our contribution to the Egyptian society will be complete only through concerted attempts that address all segments of the society. Housing for the low- and middle-income segments is part of our corporate social responsibility, which is led by the needs of the markets.”
The EGP5.75 billion (AED 3.7 billion; US$1 billion) residential community located at the fifth district New Cairo City is close to the new campus of the American University in Cairo, and will spread over 3.8 million square metres. It will be an upscale residential community with approximately 5,000 residential units, and features amenities such as private clubs, restaurants, cafes, schools, swimming pools, healthcare facilities, shopping centres and places of worship.
The EGP4 billion (AED 2.58 billion; US$700 million) community development located at the start of the Cairo-Alexandria road is a residential-cum-commercial project. “The upscale development will spread over 160 acres (670,000 sq metres) and will have a mega shopping mall, an office park with world-class facilities, hotels and several residential components including townhouses, villas and apartments,” said Mr Mohamed Anwar El Moshneb, Director - Development, Emaar Misr. “To enhance the quality of living of residents, the project will also have advanced medical facilities, schools and places of worship.”
The EGP9.92 billion (AED 6.39 billion, US$1.74 billion) Marassi is a 1,544-acre tourist resort project located on Sidi Abdel Rahman (Alamein) – the land won by Emaar in a government bid for EGP998 million (AED 642.6 million, US$175 million). Emaar is developing a resort with up to 3,000 hotel rooms, a marina, golf course, hospital, healthcare facilities and total township development.
Uptown Cairo is an EGP12 billion (AED 7.7 billion, US$2.1 billion) mixed-use development spread over 4 million sq metres in downtown Cairo. The project will include a central town centre, private clubs, hotels, golf course, restaurants, cafes, schools, swimming pools, healthcare facilities, offices, shopping centres and places of worship.
Emaar is the pioneer of master-planned residential communities in Dubai, and develops several high-profile projects in the Middle East and North Africa region and the Indian Subcontinent. In Saudi Arabia, Emaar is developing the largest private sector-led project, King Abdullah Economic City. Emaar’s overseas development portfolio exceeds over EGP342 billion (AED 220 billion; US$60 billion). The company is building Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest tower in Dubai, which recently scaled 120 levels at over 422 meters and is the tallest structure in the Middle East and North Africa.

I really like papercraft, and the idea of making them bigger, sturdier and easier to assemble to use in decorating was very good.
I follow you on instagram and I'm absolutely in love with your design and creations. I adore the simplicity, geometric structures and the precision of your designs! I do origami since my childhood and got inspired by your work to built my first 3D paper animal.

Great designs and excellent people working with this beautiful art :D

Polimind creations have clean and crisp lines giving a contemporary take on traditional forms of papercraft that I love.
Polimind is a beautiful creative idea.

[Update – It’s £13 on Amazon. That’s a bit stupid. Thanks, tenthousandgothsonacid.]
Play.com is offering LittleBigPlanet for £17.99, which, in the parlance of the gutter, is fucking cheap.
Tesco, not be outdone, has gone even cheaper: how does £17.96 sound?
So you probably won’t buy it from them, then.

A year on the road
for Soccer Saturday
by Johnny Phillips
Bennion Kearny, £9.99
Reviewed by David Harrison
From WSC 320 October 2013
Johnny Phillips is a product of Sky's Soccer Saturday conveyor belt constructed to provide Jeff Stelling with a never-ending stock of earnest reporters, ready to update the nation with breathless goalflashes. That was until Phillips briefly lost it on-air at the end of last season and went from calmly "delivering his own brand of footballing brilliance", as Stelling's foreword generously describes our man's contribution, to a demented comedy figure screaming a match update in a ludicrous high-pitched falsetto. Those 20 seconds in May elevated him, we're told, to "an internet sensation with millions of hits".
To be fair that Watford v Leicester play-off semi-final did deliver the most extraordinary climax and Phillips performed manfully, albeit squeakily, to keep it together and provide any sort of factual assessment, what with flares going off and a fair old pitch invasion gathering pace behind him.
In many ways those Vicarage Road scenes served as a perfect bookend to the season Phillips had enjoyed as he travelled the land on behalf of Sky. The cynic might suggest that if you're about to release a season-long diary, national exposure along those lines does no harm. But whatever criticisms one may choose to level at this undemanding tome, cynicism would not feature.
Phillips has chronologically documented 24 trips he made during the course of last season, starting in August with a delightful little story about how celebrity Spireite the Duke of Devonshire invited his local team to train within the magnificent 100-acre gardens of his Derbyshire ancestral seat, Chatsworth House. What Capability Brown would have thought is anyone's guess but it's a charming tale with which to set the ball rolling.
What follows is distinctly mixed but this is the archetypal bedside book, in that the reader could happily flip from one month to the next and back. There are short stories based around key characters within smaller clubs who rarely make headlines – the likes of Fleetwood, Mansfield, Forest Green and Met Police – as well as tales of football people.
The chapter on Brentford's troubled goalkeeper Richard Lee is revealing if hardly original and the story of Port Talbot ambulance driver and former Swansea striker James Thomas is another pleasing read, while the piece on Lee Hendrie is refreshingly upbeat. The most interesting essay covers the rise and fall of Gretna, intertwined with the story of the club's late benefactor, the extraordinary Brooks Mileson.
Phillips is a Wolves fan and indulges himself to some degree with a reflective piece on his lengthy relationship with them but the section on finding his club and recollections of 1980's terrace life will strike a chord with many. This is no Sports Book of the Year contender. Some of the grammar is painful – "The esteem in which he [Benítez] is held by Liverpool fans is considerably high" is a particularly gruesome example – but it's nevertheless an engaging effort with nothing to dislike about the author. The book, we're told, was conceived on a train journey from South Wales to London. It could be read within a similar timespan – and there's nothing wrong with that.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. —The Cherokee National Youth Choir will trade their traditional Thanksgiving turkey and dressing meal to travel to New York City and sing in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
It’s the second time the Cherokee National Youth Choir has been invited to the parade. The choir participated in 2007.
“We are thrilled to be invited back to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” said Cherokee National Youth Choir Director Mary Kay Henderson. “It is very humbling, and our students take the opportunity very seriously. They know they are representing the Cherokee Nation on the parade route.”
Henderson said the 2 ½-mile parade, with more than 4 million people in attendance and viewers watching nationally, is mind boggling and something the 28 choir members will never forget.
The group is practicing weekly and held numerous fundraisers. The tribe will underwrite the majority of the trip.
The Cherokee National Youth Choir was founded in 2000 to keep youth interested in the culture and involved with speaking the Cherokee language. The choir has produced 11 albums, with the most recent being “Cherokee America” in 2012. The song choice for the Macy’s Day Parade won’t be revealed until on the parade route.
The public can hear the Cherokee National Youth Choir during several concerts at the Cherokee National Holiday. The choir will perform during the art show at the Tahlequah Armory Municipal Center at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30. They also perform at Principal Chief Bill John Baker’s State of the Nation address about 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Court House Square, and 2 p.m. at the Tahlequah Armory Municipal Center. Admission is free.
For more information on the Cherokee National Youth Choir, contact Mary Kay Henderson at 918-772-4172 or email@example.com.

Please sign for your shipment after you have checked to make sure it arrived to you safely!
Look for any indication of damage or tampering to the packaging of your shipment and make note of it when signing for your delivery. If the packaging shows any evidence of a problem, truck drivers are able to wait up to 15 minutes while you break the shrink wrap and inspect individual items for any damage, and make sure the correct amount of pieces were delivered. If any item is clearly damaged or missing, or if you have any doubt about any item being damaged or missing, you MUST do the following:
· Note it clearly on the delivery receipt before signing (ie - "missing 3 pieces", "holes in packaging", "multiple dents on table", etc).
· Keep your copy of the delivery recepit.
· Contact us within 1 business day.
· Keep the damaged packing materials for inspection.
· Take pictures of the damaged items and packaging.
If part or all of your shipment is damaged and you did not note this in any way on the delivery receipt, we CANNOT guarantee any compensation for damages. By signing your name on the delivery receipt without noting any damages, you are stating that you have received your shipment in acceptable condition.
Equipment and special order items cannot be returned. Regularly stocked, non-equipment items may be returned within 30 days from receipt of your order provided they are unused and in the original manufacturer packaging. A 20% restocking fee will apply to such returns. If you wish to return any part of your order, you must contact us first for additional information before sending your order back to us. The return-shipping fee is your responsibility.
What is liftgate service?
A liftgate is a motorized platform attached to the back of the truck that will physically lower your order to the ground so that you can take it inside your business or home. The truck driver will place your order on the ground using the liftgate and you are responsible for bringing it inside.
If you do not have an elevated loading dock or forklift to unload your items from the truck, you will need a liftgate and must select this option at checkout. The charge for the liftgate is $45.00 but additional fees will apply if a liftgate is added after checkout.
If you are unsure, contact our Customer Solutions Team!
What is a delivery appointment?
Select this FREE service option at checkout, and the carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment, usually within a 4 hour window. Remember, for residential addresses, a delivery appointment is required.
We also suggest a delivery appointment for our commercial customers if there is any doubt that an authorized recipient will be available to receive your order, or if you are not always open Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM as this is generally the timeframe carriers deliver within. If no one is available to sign for the delivery, you will be charged additional fees when the carrier is forced to redeliver. Also, please keep in mind that if you require a time-specific delivery appointment, in which the typical 4 hour window needs to be shortened, additional fees will apply.

This is my first camera ever; my parents gave it to me as a key chain but soon, I discovered it could take photos.
My parents offered me a key chain that also was a Micro 110 camera. At first, I used it as a key chain/coin keeper. Instead of a 110 film cartridge, it had a copy of the cartridge to keep coins but soon enough I’ve discovered that it could also take photos.
I can’t remember who but someone from my family offered me a 110 cartridge to take my first shots and my first step as a lomographer. I was six years old, more or less, by that time. I guess it was in 1983/1984 and I can remember it perfectly. I took the shots and then I took out the cartridge and opened it myself in broad day light to see the pictures…this was lesson number one.
In the second film, I used the Micro camera to take some shots to the airplanes that passed by at high altitude. I believe this was lesson number two, as the air planes were just microscopic dots in all the photos.
For as long as I remember, I never took a decent shot out of this camera, but it was the beginning of film photography for me. The years passed by and after 26/27 years, I found some 110 film cartridges and decided to give it another try for old times’ sake. I remember thinking, “How will I screw up this cartridge this time? Just like in good old days.” But this time everything went OK, the camera worked perfectly, but the film expired a long time ago and it wasn’t in the best conditions. The results are pretty…acceptable, especially when compared with my first two films.
I like the results, I love the low-fi look and the colors are very good for that kind of camera and for the film conditions, I also like the size of the negative film, it is very tiny and almost like a James Bond spy camera. However, the truth is that this camera has great limitations; if you get too close you’ll get unfocused shots, and if you get too far, you’ll also get unfocused shots. I believe that its range is from 1 meter to 3 meters.
Another disadvantage is its sensitivity. Despite using 200 ISO film, this camera needs really bright light to capture anything properly in its tiny lens. I advise using it only during the summer at noon, with hard bright sun and absolutely no clouds.
The viewfinder is a joke. It is merely cosmetic. This camera isn’t a point a shoot, it is a guess and shoot!
Finally, its main disadvantage is the film format, as it is a bit hard to get, hard to develop, and despite being a C-41 negative film, it is hard to adapt it in the lab and use in the scanner. It isn’t impossible, just a bit hard.
Overall, I loved to use it, It was kind of a trip to the past but to be honest it’s almost pointless. You achieve better results with other film formats, as they have much more quality, are easier to develop and digitize, and are much more easy to find. But, from my point of view, it was totally worth it and I already found another 110 film camera that I will test soon.

Apply now: Research Fellow/ Senior Research Fellow in Urban Meteorology and Environmental Modelling
4 June 2020
The Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering is seeking a new post-doctoral research fellow/senior research fellow to work on a new Wellcome Trust funded project: HEROIC.
Duties and responsibilities
The UCL Institute for Environmental Design & Engineering (UCL IEDE) delivers world-leading research, teaching and enterprise towards a goal of making our buildings, towns and cities better places in which to live, with a focus on health, human well-being, productivity, energy use and climate change.
We are seeking a post-doctoral research fellow/senior fellow to take part in a new Wellcome Trust funded project named HEROIC (Health and Economic impacts of Reducing Overheating in Cities). This is an exciting opportunity to engage with experts from multiple fields in an inter-disciplinary project which aims to assess the effects of climate and environmental change on health, and explore the most effective ways to minimise harmful effects for the most vulnerable populations.
The successful candidate will mainly contribute to the modelling work package, which aims to simulate local temperatures and urban heat island intensity for a range of cities, each with distinct characteristics. The modelling will be done by performing ~1km resolution regional simulations using the WRF (Weather Research Forecasting) model in combination with detailed land use categories to characterise the urban heat island for different cities and conditions. Part of the project will involve classifying and categorising urban land use categories for study cities, for example, using the Local Climate Zones system, using existing geospatial tools and techniques.
The project is funded for a period of 3 years from September 2020, and is led by UCL, with partners at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Exeter University, as well as international collaborators.
The ideal candidate is a highly quantitative and analytical person with a PhD or equivalent experience in physics, climate, environmental, or atmospheric sciences or a related quantitative field, and a keen interest in multi-disciplinary research. They should have experience of configuring and running climate or meteorological models (e.g. WRF) and analysing output, and ideally, experience of using large geographical and environmental datasets.
If you have any queries regarding the vacancy or the application process, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.org
If you have specific questions about the role please contact Dr Clare Heaviside.
UCL Taking Action for Equality
We will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible.

Perl 5 version 8.0 documentation
File::DosGlob - DOS like globbing and then some
- require 5.004;
- # override CORE::glob in current package
- use File::DosGlob 'glob';
- # override CORE::glob in ALL packages (use with extreme caution!)
- use File::DosGlob 'GLOBAL_glob';
- @perlfiles = glob "..\\pe?l/*.p?";
- print <..\\pe?l/*.p?>;
- # from the command line (overrides only in main::)
- > perl -MFile::DosGlob=glob -e "print <../pe*/*p?>"
A module that implements DOS-like globbing with a few enhancements. It is largely compatible with perlglob.exe (the M$ setargv.obj version) in all but one respect--it understands wildcards in directory components.
> will work as expected (in
that it will find something like '..\lib\File/DosGlob.pm' alright).
Note that all path components are case-insensitive, and that
backslashes and forward slashes are both accepted, and preserved.
You may have to double the backslashes if you are putting them in
literally, due to double-quotish parsing of the pattern by perl.
Spaces in the argument delimit distinct patterns, so
globs all filenames that end in
. If you want to put in literal spaces in the glob
pattern, you can escape them with either double quotes, or backslashes.
. The argument is tokenized using
, so see Text::ParseWords for details
of the quoting rules used.
Extending it to csh patterns is left as an exercise to the reader.
Mac OS (Classic) users should note a few differences. The specification of pathnames in glob patterns adheres to the usual Mac OS conventions: The path separator is a colon ':', not a slash '/' or backslash '\'. A full path always begins with a volume name. A relative pathname on Mac OS must always begin with a ':', except when specifying a file or directory name in the current working directory, where the leading colon is optional. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required. Due to these rules, a glob like <*:> will find all mounted volumes, while a glob like <*> or <:*> will find all files and directories in the current directory.
Note that updirs in the glob pattern are resolved before the matching begins, i.e. a pattern like "*HD:t?p::a*" will be matched as "*HD:a*". Note also, that a single trailing ':' in the pattern is ignored (unless it's a volume name pattern like "*HD:"), i.e. a glob like <:*:> will find both directories and files (and not, as one might expect, only directories).
The metachars '*', '?' and the escape char '\' are valid characters in volume, directory and file names on Mac OS. Hence, if you want to match a '*', '?' or '\' literally, you have to escape these characters. Due to perl's quoting rules, things may get a bit complicated, when you want to match a string like '\*' literally, or when you want to match '\' literally, but treat the immediately following character '*' as metachar. So, here's a rule of thumb (applies to both single- and double-quoted strings): escape each '*' or '?' or '\' with a backslash, if you want to treat them literally, and then double each backslash and your are done. E.g.
- Match '\*' literally
- escape both '\' and '*' : '\\\*'
- double the backslashes : '\\\\\\*'
(Internally, the glob routine sees a '\\\*', which means that both '\' and '*' are escaped.)
- Match '\' literally, treat '*' as metachar
- escape '\' but not '*' : '\\*'
- double the backslashes : '\\\\*'
(Internally, the glob routine sees a '\\*', which means that '\' is escaped and '*' is not.)
Note that you also have to quote literal spaces in the glob pattern, as described above.
EXPORTS (by request only)
Should probably be built into the core, and needs to stop pandering to DOS habits. Needs a dose of optimizium too.
Gurusamy Sarathy <email@example.com>
Support for globally overriding glob() (GSAR 3-JUN-98)
Scalar context, independent iterator context fixes (GSAR 15-SEP-97)
A few dir-vs-file optimizations result in glob importation being 10 times faster than using perlglob.exe, and using perlglob.bat is only twice as slow as perlglob.exe (GSAR 28-MAY-97)

Cavite’s Pride : Tanza Oasis Hotel and Resort
In case you are thinking on how to spend your holiday in Tanza’s Oasis Hotel and Resort, I want to make sure to give bits of information.
Tanza’s Oasis Hotel and Resort, which is located in Capipisa at Km. 41, Barangay Capipisa Tanza Cavite opened itself to public last 2011. Being not that far from Metro Manila, Tanza’s Oasis Hotel and Resort has been turning into a popular choice not only for people on a vacation but also for business owners, employees on seminar-workshops, and people like to celebrate special occasions.
This 2017 I was given two opportunities staying in Tanza’s Oasis Hotel and Resort in Cavite for a seminar-workshop. I have heard from my fellow colleagues who already spent their seminars in Tanza’s Oasis Hotel and Resort that they had a great time while they were there. In my mind, I thought that it was a great opportunity to see it for myself.
Here are the snapshots I took during my stay in the hotel and resort to give you a glimpse about the Cavite’s pride.
The staff of the hotel and resort are approachable and helpful. They always gave a hand without a second thought.
Outside the Hotel
There are just few flaws in this hotel like poor internet connection in some parts like in the room where I stayed. In order to get a good connection, I just had to roam around the hotel and a perfect place where the internet connection is fast. The room is also not soundproof and only have few outlets for 4 people who will be staying in one room. On the other hand, since I spent most of my time in the seminar-workshop, those issues didn’t bother much.

Director: Joseph M. Newman
Part of the "law and order"/ "crime doesn't pay" flavor of films that can get lumped in with noir, I'd seen 711 Ocean Drive (1950) listed for a while and figured I should get to it.
It's.... fine. A mix of "technology plus crime!" that is sometimes done well, but usually ends up with a bit of a hokey angle, plus the story of how easy it is to become an LA crime lord because you know how to patch through a phone call is... well, it's a set up.
Starring the actor who always makes me think "well, shit, if that guy could become a lead in movies, why didn't I try?", Edmond O'Brien, the movie follows his phone-company technician who believes anyone who falls in love or who isn't trying to get ahead through whatever's at hand is an idiot (a real charmer, this character), O'Brien is presented by his bookie to a wire service/ gambling empresario. He hooks them up with the magic of RADIO in a scheme I utterly never understood - as it seemed not illegal - but facilitated a lot of illegal bookmaking.
I dunno. There's a lot going on here and you'll either watch the picture or you won't. But it is intensely plot heavy as O'Brien manages to take over ALL CRIME IN CALIFORNIA and then a syndicate moves in and he joins up. Mostly because he wants to get with one of the Syndicate guy's wife, played by notable actor Joanne Dru (Red River, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon).
The film's big set piece is the access they had to Hoover Dam (then called Boulder Dam) and filmed Edmond O'Brien sweating his ass off running all over the damned thing trying to avoid police. It's a reminder that I would very much like to one day tour the dam myself. It seems keen. But the movie makes the interesting choice to just cast the rangers at the Dam as themselves, so suddenly in minute 70 you're getting cops giving wildly wooden performances.
The movie has some weirdly good cinematography, courtesy Franz Planer. They made the most of the on-location work at the dam, but there's also plenty of interesting stuff in a gas works and just in how some sequences were thoughtfully framed or lit.
I didn't hate the movie, but it's not threatening to knock any of my top 10 favorites out of place. Joanne Dru is the best one in the movie, so much so that it can feel like she was imported from a different movie. Edmond O'Brien is never bad, but he is always Edmond O'Brien. I don't know what 711 Ocean Drive is, but I guess it's the house he lives in after becoming a crime boss.
Any threat the movie received from actual organized crime about the secrets of criminal ways supposedly revealed in the film that would have required the production required police protection seems... well, it seems made up. But I guess if you hire cops to hang around and then say "so hot, we needed people legally allowed to shoot people to protect it", that's a pretty good PR hook.
Anyway, stay away from telephone switching equipment. That way lies crime and personal doom.

I am young and have had these lines under my eyes since i was a baby, but from smoking, drinking, late nights and make up i feel its been getting worse. I also have dark circles around my eyes but that can be hidden with make up my concern is these deep lines under my eyes and how to get rid of them for good. Note: when i wake up in the morning the lines are extremely noticeable because i have puffiness as well which makes them more noticeable
I Am Curious What the Name of This Problem is Under my Eyes and How to Fix It? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Restylane in the Lower Lid
You have a mild depression which is perfectly amendable to a filler. This lasts about a year, and is typically about $500.00. It will make an instant difference. Be sure to avoid asprin, ibuprofen etc. for a week before you have it done.
Lower lid shadows
are very common, especially as you age. Regardless, there are several different ways to manage this. As mentioned by prior posters, you can fill the crease as a temporary fix. If you want a more permanent fix and are willing to accept the risks, you can consider fat grafting. If your morning crease is worse because of swelling of the area above the crease, you may even want to consider a transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty where the fat and skin are released and the fat placed into the depressions. A consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon (ENT, Oph, or Plastics) should help you get the answers you need to help you make a decision on what would be best for you.
Your line is part of the under circle.
Treatment of Lower Eyelid Lines
Based on the picture, it appears that what you are calling as "deep lines" under your eyes are what we call tear trough creases, and yours is not deep in my opinion (good news!). We treat under eye volume loss and tear trough creases with injectable fillers. Occasionally you can also improve very fine lines under the eye which are seen mostly with smiling (dynamic lines) with neurotoxin injections. I find too that when you improve the volume loss and lines under the eyes, it also helps improve the discoloration. I recommend you consult with a board-certified physician (dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon, occulo-plastic surgeon) for evaluation and treatment options. Click on the link below to see before and after photos of under eye lines treated with injectable fillers.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

This Turbo Vado SL ride report was written by my colleague, Steve Gluckman. Steve is an industry insider. His takes on bike tech have found their way into Bike Hugger posts practically from our beginning.
Having worked on several ebike launches, including the Tern HSD, I asked him to ride the Turbo Vado SL, and this is what he told me in an email after doing so. Steve and I are both interested in ebikes that are more like regular bikes in appearance and weight. That’s an expected product evolution from the bulky battery and motor bits bolted onto frames to an integrated approach, as Specialized took.
The strongest selling point of the Turbo Vado is the weight, at 33 lbs it’s the lightest ebike in its class.
Below is what Steve told me about the ride.
Turbo Vado SL Ride Report Overall Impression
Lightweight bikes are so much fun to ride. At 33 lbs. the Specialized Turbo Vado SL certainly qualifies as lightweight by eBike standards. The Turbo Vado SL is nimble, well mannered, and inspired me to get out of the saddle and charge up hills which no eBike has done before. Certainly not from a fitness lets-go-fast perspective as opposed to O-M-G I have to get out of the saddle or risk tipping over (my neighborhood is hilly!)
Ed. note: so is mine.
- The compact motor that is less obtrusive compared to most mid-drives
- Reasonable Q-factor
- Battery integration is well executed. Harder for thieves to steal + looks more like a regular bike
- Pedals smoothly with the motor turned off, feels virtually friction-free.
- Motor reasonably quiet. At low speeds, it produces a bit of a whine. At higher speeds and with more wind noise the motor is very quiet
- The absence of huge LCDs providing over-information is ice
- Love the simplicity and clean design of the controller
- The simplicity of the battery management display integrated into the top tube is also a love
- Cable management is well-executed
- Charging port easy to access and well-executed
- Charging kit presentation with a dedicated molded-foam hard case not an afterthought
- Lights nice and tidy
- Gearing from high to low is well suited to the power output. I found the gearing low enough on the steepest hills to keep from bogging down and at the other end didn’t feel like I was spinning out on the flats with a strong tailwind
- Daytime running lights help improve visibility and the absence of an on/off switch means there is one less thing to worry about.
- The ride feels harsh and unrefined. One of the challenges with eBikes is everything tends to be overbuilt out of necessity from the tires on up. All the extra beef adds up to a harsh ride and of course added weight. The product team did an admirable job keeping the weight within reason but the harshness prevailed
- The SL model I tested was specd’ with a stout rigid alloy fork the more premium EQ model comes equipped with a carbon fiber fork and Specialized own Future Shock which presumably helps dampen the ride. On the SL every hit was transmitted right up through my arms and butt
- The saddle was definitely on the racy side. It was comfortable when I was wearing padded shorts but there are times I just want to jump on a bike like the Vado SL in my street clothes to run a quick errand. When I did ride the bike that way the saddle was inadequate
- My biggest complaint about the bike is that there is no way to toggle the lights on and off. While I appreciate the always-on aspect from a visibility standpoint from a power management standpoint having the lights on all the time reduces battery management capabilities by the user. The worst aspect by far of this feature is that the lights are on when the user is recharging the bike. Beyond being a nuisance in my workshop the front light generates a fair amount of heat with no cooling effect when the bike is stationary.
Ed note: the harshness of the ride stood out to me as well and is likely mitigated by tire choice and pressure.

Family photos and mementos are the raw stuff of some great Mother's Day gifts.
Here are three ideas - including fresh takes on the silhouette and the family tree - for creating a new family treasure in just an afternoon.
In this May 1, 2012 image, a memory-keeping triptych showing a photo, quotes and memorabilia from a grandmother's button jar seen in Arvada, Colo.
From Whitney Phippen, of Fort Collins, Colo., comes the traditional silhouette - a black profile positioned on a white background - reinvented as a keepsake pendant. Phippen has made silhouettes of countless children, but also of adults, dogs, cats - even a pet chicken. "It was adorable," she recalls.
This mother of two young boys has made hundreds of pendants since opening her Etsy online shop, Lucky Me Beads, five years ago.
She likes working with children's profiles.
"I love how their hair is so random and can have all these little spikes and curls," Phippen says.
Phippen's pendant-making process is slow and methodical - she works by hand - but she suggests that others can craft something similar with a few shortcuts.
A photo can be turned into a silhouette using Photoshop, or it can be done the old-fashioned way: Cut the profile out of a photo.
Phippen goes this route, cutting from a large photo to capture more detail and then scanning it into her computer, where she manipulates the image and shrinks it to pendant size.
She uses vintage hardware for her pieces, but says most pendant supplies can be found at any crafts store. If you're going to cover the piece in a resin, as Phippen does, she recommends using ICE Resin, which is nontoxic and won't discolor over time. She buys it online.
Vana Chupp, of Mount Prospect, Ill., also works in silhouette for her online store, Le Papier Studio, and an Etsy shop of the same name.
An architect by trade, Chupp began making silhouettes to document her first-born son's growth. He's 7 now, and Chupp also has a newborn - a new face to mark in profile.
Chupp works in several mediums - card stock, fabrics, jewelry and dishware.
A family tree of silhouettes can fit three or four generations. The tree can be cut out of paper or fabric, or there's a template on her website. Chupp likes to use the likenesses of real family members, but silhouette templates also can be used.
She suggests hanging the genealogical tree among family photos as a "go-to point" for explaining ancestors and family relationships to children.
Other Chupp projects are in her book "Silhouette Art" (Chronicle books, 2010).
Sondra Hines came up with this idea several years ago for an elementary school art program at the Holter Museum of Art, in Helena, Mont., where she is curator of education.
A triptych consists of three panels, two of which often fold onto the third. Younger children need adult guidance to make one, but teenagers can do it on their own.
Hines suggests embellishing the triptych with meaningful items: gluing on old ribbons or buttons, a parent's favorite poem, a fabric reminiscent of grandmother - even concert tickets.
"Basically, you just want to put things in it that hold memory, so when you look back you can go, 'Ohhh, I remember ...,'" saids Hines.
Here are directions for making the Holter Museum of Art's Family Story Triptych:
Three pieces of Davey Board (also called Binder's Board)
Natural muslin, or any cotton or linen fabric
Family photos or other two-dimensional mementoes
Scrapbook or other heavy, patterned paper
Embellishments (ribbons, buttons, glitter, sequins, lace, etc.)
Glue, such as Elmer's or Tacky Glue
1. For each triptych, cut the Davey Board into three pieces. Start by cutting two pieces 9-by-7 inches and then cut one of them in half vertically to make two smaller pieces, 4-by-7 inches each. The larger piece will form the back of the triptych. The two smaller pieces will create the two front sides that open and close.
2. Cut fabric one inch larger than the board on all sides. For the featured measurements, that's one piece of fabric measuring 21-by-17 inches.
3. Center the three boards over the fabric, with the largest board in the center and leaving inch of space between each board, and fold the fabric over. Cut the corners on the diagonal - but not too close to the boards - to get pointed corners. Glue the fabric to the boards.
4. Now, you should have a working triptych that opens and closes. Cover the inside cardboard with scrapbook paper and embellish it with photographs, artwork and little mementos. Remember to keep items on the inside two-dimensional so you can close your triptych, if desired.

The pilot killed last night in a Fiordland helicopter crash has been named.
He was William Bruce Andrews, known as Bruce, aged 49. He was a Te Anau man and a pilot for Milford Helicopters.
He was the only person in the helicopter. A police search and rescue team has this morning recovered his body.
His death has now been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority and the coroner.
Earlier today Milford Helicopter owner Natalie Shanks confirmed it was the company's helicopter that crashed last night.
She said the pilot had been flying "on and off" for a number of years and was experienced.
Searchers found the wreckage 838 metres above sea level in fading light and low cloud last night but the pilot's body was not found.
New Zealand Rescue Co-ordination Centre (NZRCC) search and rescue mission co-ordinator Keith Allen said the wrecked helicopter was found in steep terrain at 9.15pm in the Glade Burn close to the start of the Milford Track, near Lake Te Anau.
The Hughes 500 helicopter was declared missing after it failed to arrive at Dumpling Hut on the Milford Track at 5.30pm. It was on a cross-country flight from Greenstone Valley, Otago, to deliver supplies to the hut.
NZRCC spokeswoman Sarah Brazilsaid contact was last made with the pilot at 4.55pm.
When it was reported missing the helicopter company launched a search using another helicopter, which was joined by two other aircraft, she said.
The pilot was experienced and familiar with the area, the NZRCC said in a statement.

We love Notting Hill Carnival, but good luck trying to hear anything new as you meander through the streets around the Westway. While vintage reggae, roots and dub dominate the soundsystems, the last four years have seen a renegade party set up in the heart of Carnival bursting with the world’s freshest global sounds.
Hosted by dance music magpie Diplo and his Major Lazer crew (now flying solo after co-founder Switch recently flew the nest), their spot on the corner of Portobello Road and Acklam Road is a hub for future-thinking DJs and producers as well as huge name performers. Everyone from M.I.A and Lee Scratch Perry to DJs like Jackmaster and Drop The Lime have rocked one off in the past four years, while this year looks even bigger as dancehall mega star Sean Paul joins UK bass champs like Lil Silva, Mele and Time Out favourite Hudson Mohawke on Carnival Monday. While tickets are free, they disappear in the blink of a browser on a first come/first served basis so get ready to visit the Red Bull website at 10am tomorrow and hopefully you’ll snag a golden ticket.
Check out our full coverage of this year’s Notting Hill Carnival and in our pull-out Carnival Guide in next week’s magazine.

Now for some pictures that are long overdue - enjoy!
Jaxen has been enjoying this nice, cool fall air!
He even “helped” one day by bringing firewood from the garage to the house.
We spent the majority of one afternoon / evening rearranging our garage;
stacking firewood, making room for 2 vehicles, 1 motorcycle and a snowblower.
While working, we had a nice little fire to enjoy!
The last one of the season.
This past weekend, we finally raked our leaves and got our yard cleaned up.
Jaxen was actually pretty helpful this year!

Out of thousands of prison volunteers in our state one from Eastern Carolina has been named volunteer of the year. For 25 years Marvin Burley has been passing out bibles and offering a lending ear when inmates at the Greene Correctional Institution in Maury need to talk. Burley says it's not his job to judge these men - but to offer them hope and guidance if the inmates allow them to embrace him into their lives. The inmates we talked with say Burley is an inspiration to them and vice versa. Burley says out of 25 years of volunteering only about five inmates haven't received him very well, a stark contrast to the hundreds of inmates who have welcomed him into their hearts.

[TYPO3-english] Multimedia content elements copies selected files to the uploads/media folder
sma at cs.au.dk
Wed Dec 10 17:50:21 CET 2008
We have alot of static content in fragment html files. However these
html files are frequently updated (lists ect.) I'm trying to load
these by selecting the content element type "multimedia", and then
select the proper html files. This works great - the content of the
html files is shown. However - if I change anything the html files,
these updates aren't loaded, even after a FE cache clear.
After some scrutiny (and great IRC assistance), I found out that this
is because the files I select from the file explorer, is copied to the
uploads/media folder - which is not accessible to the file browser.
Is there anyway to keep TYPO3 from copying my html files to the
uploads/media folder - but instead just leave them where they are, and
reference them there?
Or do I need a completely different approach to this? (php include or
