Maybe also consider https://velosurance.com/ w/ the "international option" to cover any damage / theft of bike during trip + while you're there. I think I use the same technique: accelerate to 15-18mph then brake smoothly back down to walking speed and do that a dozen or so times. +1 for Nextie, or -- in a similar vein and at a similar price point -- Light Bicycle rims. Those are also well respected in the MTB community. I realize I have 4 sets of LB wheels across 3 bikes now... I generally bed in new pads. I don't think that there is a noticeable performance difference, but bedding them in leaves me confident that my brakes will stop the way I expect them to. (Brake... I probably missed this from earlier in the thread, but I believe you will need a TanPan (or equivalent from jTech) to allow 11sp road shifters to work with the mtb rear derailleur. ... I agree w/ mstone. I can pretty much guarantee you that my 44mm Extralight Compass Snoqualmie Pass tires roll faster than your 28/32mm tires. (And are less puncture-proof.) I was there -- my son was racing the Jr 9/10 category. I shouted to Josh, but I don't think he heard me. Yeah, that is a great race to spectate -- as well as a great race to race. You can totally ride that (to the left of the stairs). Though there's a recent hole that definitely ups the game. I believe that, but I still feel that a scooter is "fast enough" for cruising around between transport stops without a helmet etc. And it's only a matter of time before there are stronger motors,... Re #2 -- I don't think the fact that the GPS seems to work when you open Google Maps rules out that it's a GPS or Location Service problem. You want to rule out Strava app for being at fault, so... My thought is that it's a problem with the GPS -- or the Android location service that abstracts the phone's GPS to the applications. To rule that out, I would recommend also recording your ride on... This e-scooter craze is intriguing. From a transportation perspective this makes so much more sense to me than bike-share e-bikes (or non-assist bike-share bikes): they go fast enough, are far more... This summer. Their new location is bigger and has a cafe. Of course, the cafe only opens at 8am and closes at 4pm weekdays so I'll likely never stop there for a coffee or a beer. And access from the... I found this cyclingtips podcast episode to have a good breakdown/explanation as it affects bicycles in general:... I don't think Steve was implying that. LOTM was the one who says he doesn't look behind him (and I understand believes that this shouldn't be required if you signal). I'd agree with Steve on this... Honestly, I think the games are what make it fun. The leaderboards maybe get people to go out when they "shouldn't" (or maybe really shouldn't) but the games are great. Even from the sidelines. Thanks, guys. Yeah, FS has been very positive, which is why I've kept doing it even though I haven't really played myself since burning out year 1 :-). I do really want to see it keep on, so I hope... Hey folks - it's probably not time to begin bickering about rules yet, but I wanted to give a heads up that I'm not going to be able to do the scoreboard this year for FS. Between work and... I've ridden Lawyers. It isn't great to the east, but I rode it a couple times when the trail was snowed under and it didn't feel unsafe.

I think I asked before, but: are there any copies of this video still out there? This sure brings back memories of watching flight ops from the "crows nest" on the 011 and 09 levels! Can almost smell the JP-4!!! Hello. My name is Rodney Chapman. I was attached to VAH-7 from December 1960 until January 1964 when the squadron departed for the "around the world" cruise with USS Bainbridge and USS Long Beach, We made 2 Med deployments aboard USS Enterprise: 1962 (Missiles of October) and 1963 (JFK assassination). Also attached were AKCS Chuck Trovinger, AKC E Wrightson Harville, AK1 Bill Boggs, AK! Joe Kwasny, AK2 E. Dauz, AK2 John Suggs, AK3s Rod Chapman, Dan Tabaka, Norm Schirmer, Willie Collar, Tom Leckey. If anyone out there remembers any of these, or may know where they are, please email me at dublin98@bellsouth.net Also, If there are still photographs suitable for making up a shirt, I'd love to see it! I recently had some shirts made by an outfit named scottees67@gmail.com. This is a bit of history I wish to keep on remembering since tie Vigilante has been long gone! BTW, the cost of a Vigie (including J79GE8 w/afterburner) was 17 Million bucks! Cheap by todays standards considering what an aircraft of that size could do!! Back then that plane was the fastest in the fleet. same engines as the f14. I worked the flight deck, checking the afterburner on launch..... what a rush.. Launched off the sara,America,an JFK.. young an dumb,, now old an gray..enjoy!!!!! Great product. Works as it should. Unplug the old and plug in the new and all is well. Takes 5 minutes tops to install.

Considering Its Responsibilities and Limitations - Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention The Executive Committee is to act for the Southern Baptist Convention ad interim, or between sessions. It reviews the work of the Convention’s entities and itself is subject to the review of the Convention. Read More.

On June 14th 2000, the Southern Baptist Convention adopted a revised summary of our faith. Baptist churches, associations, and general bodies have adopted confessions of faith as a witness to the world, and as instruments of doctrinal accountability.

When you have a Christian body as large as the Southern Baptist Convention, with a structure that fully recognizes and respects the autonomy of the local church, inevitably there will be some who misunderstand the responsibilities and authority of the Convention's entities and committees. Even more concerning, some can mistakenly conclude that the Executive Committee either has more authority than is actually assigned by the Convention, or that it may not have sufficient authority to do what is needed. In the last two issues of SBC LIFE, we have examined the nature of the Southern Baptist Convention's structure, particularly regarding its entities and committees, and the roles and ministries of the SBC Executive Committee. In this third installment (of four) I would like to address the extent of the Convention's authority over its entities, as well as some of the responsibilities and limitations the Convention has placed upon your Executive Committee, especially as it relates to Southern Baptist entities. The Southern Baptist Convention has created its entities, supports and fosters them, and commends their ministries to Southern Baptist churches and their members. The Convention respects the corporate integrity of each entity corporation, and the Convention has no right to control the entity corporations beyond the Convention's rights as the corporations' sole member. The messengers act in the Convention's annual session to determine the vote of the Convention as the member of these entity corporations. The Convention's member rights are enumerated in the charters of each corporate entity. Essentially, the Convention as the member of an entity corporation has the right to determine who sits on the entity's board of trustees. However, the authority to manage the entity is vested in its board of trustees. The Southern Baptist Convention has delegated to the Executive Committee the right to exercise the Convention's corporate power. However, that must not be misunderstood as vesting in the Executive Committee any power to control or act on the behalf of a corporate entity that is related to the Convention. The broad delegation of corporate authority to the Executive Committee, to exercise all of the Convention's corporate authority except that which is reserved to the messengers or delegated to others by the messengers, speaks of the Convention's corporate authority, not of the corporate authority of corporations fostered by the Convention. These corporations - the International Mission Board, the North American Mission Board, and the other SBC entities - are managed by their individual boards of trustees except to the extent the Convention enjoys a voting right as the sole member of the corporation. In legal terms, one might say the Convention has "otherwise provided" for the management of these corporations by their boards. However one would choose to express it, the Executive Committee clearly has no authority or right to control these fostered entities. The Convention's bylaws explicitly declare: "The Executive Committee shall not have authority to control or direct the several boards, entities, and institutions of the Convention. This is the responsibility of trustees elected by the Convention and accountable directly to the Convention.1" Further, the officers of the entities are elected by, and are subject to, the control and direction of the entity's directors.2 Since the Convention has no authority over an entity's officers, certainly the Executive Committee has none. The Executive Committee's responsibilities regarding these entities are to assist the Convention as the Convention relates to these separate corporations, and to assist the entities by exercising the functions the Convention has set out in SBC Bylaw 18. First and foremost, the Executive Committee owes its allegiance to, and performs as a functionary and fiduciary of, the Convention. The Convention deals with these fostered entities on several planes. One is a programmatic plane; another is a funding plane; another is a corporate governance plane, essentially played out by the Convention as the sole member of the entity corporation. On these first two planes, the Executive Committee has specific duties in addition to its ad interim authority. On the latter plane, the Executive Committee has some role as spelled out in individual charters adopted by several entities under which the Executive Committee plays a role in any removal process of trustees prior to the expiration of the trustees' terms of office.3 Otherwise, the Convention's messengers exercise the Convention's membership rights, the primary one being to elect trustees who then manage these fostered entities. The Executive Committee is therefore utilized to identify and fill all vacuums and seal all the cracks. The messengers have delegated to the Executive Committee the authority and duty to conform its shape and function in such a way as to fill the whole Convention corporate mold, the small crevices and folds, to the end that the Convention can effectively function throughout the year. Therefore, except for those matters the messengers have otherwise provided for, the ad interim authority of the Executive Committee is as broad as circumstances require, and its assignment is to attend to all matters which need attention and which are required for the prudent, careful, and diligent conduct of the work of the Convention. If it needs to be done to achieve the Convention's purposes, the Executive Committee is empowered and obliged to do it. Thus, the Executive Committee is to be assertive, not wait for the messengers to identify a need, but identify it and meet it. This assertiveness is required for the Executive Committee to faithfully discharge its duties to the Convention. The Executive Committee has a duty to the Convention and its messengers to exercise its ad interim authority, and its fiduciary, fiscal, and executive functions, with prudence, care, and diligence and with absolute loyalty to the Convention. The messengers may hold the Executive Committee accountable for its lack of vigor and care. At the same time, the Executive Committee must not act in a manner which is disrespectful of the messengers as the ultimate authority in the Convention. It must not "get ahead" of the messengers, establishing policies, programs, and ministries which are fundamentally within the province of the messengers. The Convention, acting through the messengers, points the way, and the Executive Committee assists in moving the Convention, the entities, and itself in the direction the messengers have pointed. Further, and as already suggested above, the Executive Committee must act consistently with the limitation on its authority in areas otherwise provided for. Ad interim authority is limited to the extent the Convention has otherwise provided. The messengers have otherwise provided for entities, and for officers and committees other than the Executive Committee, to perform their specified duties and exercise their prerogatives. However, the Treasurer of the Convention, while accountable to the messengers, is subject to the accountability, supervision, and control of the Executive Committee. This right of supervision accompanies the Executive Committee's right to choose that officer. Thus, the Executive Committee functions as the enabler of the Convention, as staff to the Convention, and as the corporate entity which makes possible the Convention's achievement of its purpose. The Executive Committee is not the Convention, and is not even the Convention ad interim. But the Executive Committee is the ever-present corporate body that acts on behalf of the Convention in every instance and circumstance other than those the Convention has designated to its officers and other committees. Once again, we praise God for guiding our Southern Baptist forefathers as they crafted our constitution and bylaws. These legal documents make it possible for our entities and committees to work together effectively and efficiently as we assist Southern Baptist churches in fulfilling the Great Commission. 3 The International Mission Board requested that the Executive Committee be named to play this role, if needed, and that model has been approved by the Convention in several entity charters. James P. Guenther has served as an attorney for Southern Baptists for more than forty-six years - six years as in-house counsel for the Baptist Sunday School Board, and then as outside counsel for the Southern Baptist Convention since 1964. The Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention was formed in 1917 and established its offices in Nashville in 1927. It is comprised of 83 representatives and officers and acts on behalf of the Convention between sessions. Although the Executive Committee does not control or direct the activities of Convention agencies, it reviews their financial statements and recommends the Convention annual operating budget. In addition, it receives and distributes the monies Southern Baptists give in support of denominational ministries, acts as the recipient and trust agency for all Convention properties, and provides public relations and news services. i have acess to some free 4v 4 into one headers. i believe they are 1 7/8 into 3.5 (will have to check) I currently have an aussie 302ci 2v headed celavo that has some mild head work and a nice cam. and a set of try-y 1 5/8 primary into 2.5 headers ok cool, next thing is will going that big of a primary or even the 3.5 collector kill it as its only 302ci....or should i wait till i put the 351 crank in it. I used 4V headers on a 2V head once (swapped 2V and 4V heads back and forth) was a 351C though. Was years ago think I had to use both 2V and 4V gaskets to seal properly. The big tubes on the 302 ,depending on how built the engine, could cause some reversion into the intake. wouldnt the step on the head (smaller exhaust port dia compared to primary tube dia) actualy slightly prevent reversion? Yes reversion might be stopped or lessoned. Dont remember if some of the edges matched. I was going to make some real revision plates to place between the heads and headers. Short tube matching the 2V heads protruding into the headers a small bit. Never finished the stuff. Still have the reversion plates half built. Think that was back in 78 or so. Headers were like 2 1/8 ID. ported and flowed closed chamber 302c 2v heads- slightly bigger valves (have to find build sheet for sizes) Sounds like it should work alright. You've got enough compression and camshaft. That torquepower dual plane I tried on a mates basicly stock 351 clevo(had a little 218@050" hyd cam) with a small (2500rpm) convertor and 3.0 diff gears. It replaced a stock cast iron 4bbl manifold. The difference it made on his car was like taking the 3.0 gears out and putting 3.7s in there. It picked up a heap. Can't say for sure on the pipes, try both and see. I reckon the tri-ys will probably work ok with what you have. Just put a 351 crank and rods in there and be done with it. There seems to be a few lying around now that stroker kits are so easy to get. It will be interesting to see how well it works on your combo.Good luck mate , hope it works out good for ya. The mismatch of bigger header tubes to the 2V head casting may leave an area of 'nothing' to seal to on the sparkplug side of port. On my homemade headers of 1 7/8" as wide as the 4V port I had a gap. I added welding on the inside of tube and ground/filed it flat to seal on the 2V head and using a 2V gasket as aftermarket 4V gasket was larger than the 2V casting. On my friends Mustang using 2V ported heads and 4V 1 7/8" headers I made 'adapter plates' of flat 3/16 or 1/4" plates using 2V on engine side and 4V on header side sandwiching the plate between the gaskets. The Australian 2V heads have a bigger surface area where the exhaust bolts up so this isn't necessary for 4V headers to seal properly. This thread is also 6+ weeks old. i look at all threads on here........i found myself getting caught up in a thread thatwas YEARS old couple of weeeks ago. This site got some great info on it, dont matter how old it is. I think im goint to go ahead and pick up a set of big tube 4v 4 into 1s if i can get em cheap...that way i can grow into them later on and they will look pretty nice on the garage wall till i need em!

Birdier is a website that provides an environment for amateur or professional photographers to showcase the beauty of birds that live in all parts of the world. Here, photographers can share their work and their hobby through images displayed with quality and fidelity to the original files. The photographs are registered by identifying the birds by their scientific name, English name or name by which they are known in the country where they were photographed. It is also possible to know where, when and by whom the bird was photographed. All photos were taken in nature, without damaging the ecosystem and without harm to the birds’ welfare. Photos of captive, domesticated and pet birds are not accepted. Users can create galleries with their photos, viewed and organized automatically by the latest photos, or they can organize them in other ways, according to the site specifications. Users can also see each photo’s technical information. - Images outside this pattern will be cropped to the dimensions stipulated from the center of the photo.

During the whole tour we will observe open sea, rocky Islands, dung birds, fishermen boats at work and a Humboldt penguin rookery. 11:30: Swimming with Sea Lions. Arriving to the far point on route, the Palomino Island, a huge sea lion rookery appears, a group come to us playing, swimming, jumping and diving below the boat. Wearing wetsuits we might jump into the water with life vests and share the ocean with them, swimming with them; sometimes the young ones come up and touch us out of curiosity; the old ones keep a 5 meters distance from us. They live in comfort because there are no predators. Being in the water close to the colony is an amazing moment for everyone who likes nature and wildlife. 13:00: heading back, the boat passes amazing rookeries with many bird colonies. Once in calm waters we have a snack talking about the experience. Includes: Life Vests, Swim among Sea Lions, Snack on Board, Insurance while in boat. Transfer go and back from the hotel to the dock. Not include: Masks, Fins, Binoculars, Rain coats

Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65), in which a northern Union of states defeated a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, an economic downturn during which about a quarter of the labor force lost its jobs. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. Since the end of World War II, the economy has achieved relatively steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology. World's third-largest country by size (after Russia and Canada) and by population (after China and India); Denali (Mt. McKinley) is the highest point in North America and Death Valley the lowest point on the continent Location: North America, bordering both the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean, between Canada and Mexico Size comparison: about half the size of Russia; about three-tenths the size of Africa; about half the size of South America (or slightly larger than Brazil); slightly larger than China; more than twice the size of the European Union Land Boundaries: total: 12,048 km border countries (2): Canada 8,893 km (including 2,477 km with Alaska), Mexico 3,155 km note: US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is leased by the US and is part of Cuba; the base boundary is 28.5 km Climate: mostly temperate, but tropical in Hawaii and Florida, arctic in Alaska, semiarid in the great plains west of the Mississippi River, and arid in the Great Basin of the southwest; low winter temperatures in the northwest are ameliorated occasionally in January and February by warm chinook winds from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains Terrain: vast central plain, mountains in west, hills and low mountains in east; rugged mountains and broad river valleys in Alaska; rugged, volcanic topography in Hawaii note: the US has the world's largest coal reserves with 491 billion short tons accounting for 27% of the world's total Natural hazards: tsunamis; volcanoes; earthquake activity around Pacific Basin; hurricanes along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts; tornadoes in the Midwest and Southeast; mud slides in California; forest fires in the west; flooding; permafrost in northern Alaska, a major impediment to development volcanism: volcanic activity in the Hawaiian Islands, Western Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and in the Northern Mariana Islands; both Mauna Loa (elev. 4,170 m) in Hawaii and Mount Rainier (elev. 4,392 m) in Washington have been deemed Decade Volcanoes by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior, worthy of study due to their explosive history and close proximity to human populations; Pavlof (elev. 2,519 m) is the most active volcano in Alaska's Aleutian Arc and poses a significant threat to air travel since the area constitutes a major flight path between North America and East Asia; St. Helens (elev. 2,549 m), famous for the devastating 1980 eruption, remains active today; numerous other historically active volcanoes exist, mostly concentrated in the Aleutian arc and Hawaii; they include: in Alaska: Aniakchak, Augustine, Chiginagak, Fourpeaked, Iliamna, Katmai, Kupreanof, Martin, Novarupta, Redoubt, Spurr, Wrangell; in Hawaii: Trident, Ugashik-Peulik, Ukinrek Maars, Veniaminof; in the Northern Mariana Islands: Anatahan; and in the Pacific Northwest: Mount Baker, Mount Hood Current Environment Issues: large emitter of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels; air pollution resulting in acid rain in both the US and Canada; water pollution from runoff of pesticides and fertilizers; limited natural freshwater resources in much of the western part of the country require careful management; desertification Ethnic groups: white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate) note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic Languages: English 79.2%, Spanish 12.9%, other Indo-European 3.8%, Asian and Pacific island 3.3%, other 0.9% (2011 est.) note: data represents the language spoken at home;

US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers, pharmaceuticals, and medical, aerospace, and military equipment; however, their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. Based on a comparison of GDP measured at Purchasing Power Parity conversion rates, the US economy in 2014, having stood as the largest in the world for more than a century, slipped into second place behind China, which has more than tripled the US growth rate for each year of the past four decades. In the US, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, businesses face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets. Long-term problems for the US include stagnation of wages for lower-income families, inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, energy shortages, and sizable current account and budget deficits. The onrush of technology has been a driving factor in the gradual development of a "two-tier" labor market in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. But the globalization of trade, and especially the rise of low-wage producers such as China, has put additional downward pressure on wages and upward pressure on the return to capital. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income. Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption and oil has a major impact on the overall health of the economy. Crude oil prices doubled between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage payments. Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank foreclosures more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the housing market, soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840 billion in 2008. Because the US economy is energy-intensive, falling oil prices since 2013 have alleviated many of the problems the earlier increases had created. The sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank failures, tight credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the US into a recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in October 2008. The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009, Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP. In 2012, the Federal Government reduced the growth of spending and the deficit shrank to 7.6% of GDP. US revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than those of most other countries. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the budget deficit and public debt. Through 2014, the direct costs of the wars totaled more than $1.5 trillion, according to US Government figures. In March 2010, President OBAMA signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance reform that was designed to extend coverage to an additional 32 million Americans by 2016, through private health insurance for the general population and Medicaid for the impoverished. Total spending on healthcare - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010. In July 2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial stability by protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer bailouts of financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big to fail," and improving accountability and transparency in the financial system - in particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded in markets that are subject to government regulation and oversight. In December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) announced plans to purchase $85 billion per month of mortgage-backed and Treasury securities in an effort to hold down long-term interest rates, and to keep short term rates near zero until unemployment dropped below 6.5% or inflation rose above 2.5%. In late 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin scaling back long-term bond purchases to $75 billion per month in January 2014 and further reduce them as conditions warranted; the Fed ended the purchases during the summer of 2014. In 2014, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.2%, and continued to fall to 5.5% by mid-2015, the lowest rate of joblessness since before the global recession began; inflation stood at 1.7%, and public debt as a share of GDP continued to decline, following several years of increases. In December 2015, the Fed raised its target for the benchmark federal funds rate by 0.25%, the first increase since the recession began, but the Fed has opted to hold the target rate steady at 0.25%-0.5% through the first three quarters of 2016, with US GDP growth falling below 2% in each of those quarters.

Whether you are pregnant and looking for inspirational birth stories through your pregnancy, trying to conceive, a first time mom or a veteran mother of multiple children, you can learn, laugh and maybe even cry a little at these moving childbirth stories from women willing to share one of the most intimate moments of their lives. Welcome to The Birth Hour! New and expecting mothers love hearing birth stories and for most moms, sharing a birth story is a positive way to connect with other women. Every birth story is different and each one is beautiful and empowering in its own way. This podcast was designed to serve as a safe haven for women to share their stories with other women and connect over the life-changing event of giving birth. Lida battled chronic pain throughout her teens and twenties, and underwent laparoscopic surgery at age 24 to remove adhesions caused by endometriosis. In order to inhibit the disease's progression and to preserve her fertility, Lida took continuous hormonal birth control until she and her husband were ready to begin trying to conceive. The endometriosis started to return immediately, but with the help of a minor fertility intervention, Lida was able to conceive after only seven months. After overcoming a severe case of endometriosis in her 20s, Vani changed her diet and lifestyle, but still worried that she'd have trouble getting pregnant. When she and her husband were finally ready to have a baby at age 38, she conceived after just one month of trying! Vani chose to have a natural hospital birth, and assembled a team to help her get there. She says she couldn’t have achieved a natural child birth without the coaching of her doula, supportive doctor, and a very positive and helpful nurse. She also says there were a few moments during labor where she asked the team “can I do this?” and they would say “yes, you can do this,” and that really motivated her. Taking drugs, however, didn't enter her mind once. She says that after having her daughter a few months ago, she has been in pure bliss enjoying breastfeeding; and, that the happy-hormones from nursing help her overcome the sleep deprivation that comes with juggling motherhood and business. Genevieve's first labor with her son, Griffin, was long (27 hours with 4 hours of pushing,) and she had a hard postpartum recovery. With her second pregnancy, Genevieve was proactive in preparing for birth, and credits her nutrition and healthy lifestyle to the super-quick and much easier birth of her daughter, Paloma. Leah Rodrigues had two natural, unmedicated child births at the hospital. It was not her first choice to give birth in the hospital but she felt that she didn't have another option due to her insurance. She wanted to share her story and the ways she advocated for what she wanted and navigated the medicalized environment. She feels that her birth stories offer other moms hope that they can advocate for themselves even if they don't get to birth in the place that they want. Leah wanted a birth center birth with both of her babies but financial circumstances prevented her from doing so. She thinks discussing the limited birth options because of socioeconomic status is an important topic. You can connect with Leah on Instagram. This episode features Denver mama, Alaina, who struggled to get pregnant and had two miscarriages before using Clomid for her 3rd pregnancy, and gave birth in a hospital setting. She found out she was pregnant again without any outside assistance just a year later and gave birth at a birth center, having an unexpected waterbirth. On this episode, Mary shares the story of her pregnancy and birth with two broken legs. In her own words: "Labor and delivery of a baby while I had two broken legs immobilized in casts up to the knee was messy and difficult, but what an experience! The casts couldn't fit in stirrups, and a water birth was out of the question unless I wanted the casts to dissolve and give my newborn something to chew on while he was delivered, so a nurse held up the pink cast, and my husband held up the blue one (we didn't know what we were having, so we hedged our bets). Since I have a history of short labors, this one didn't disappoint, and 7 hours after my water broke, I had my newborn son, Riley. The most difficult part of the entire hospital experience was when the nurse took my Riley to the nursery to record all the measurements and vitals about 12 hours after he was born. I'm a paranoid new mom, so I had to follow her, and that involved moving at the speed of a turtle with the help of a walker after a natural birth that included an episiotomy. My brain was obviously as immobile as my legs, because looking back now, I should have asked for a wheel chair...Oh well, I got the equivalent of a three hour spin class that day with labor, delivery and a tour of the maternity ward with the nursery being down the hall, up two floors in the elevator and down another hall, standing outside the door as the nurse did her job, then back to my room. My bodily fluids somehow found their way onto and inside my casts, so the cloud of smell that followed me everywhere I went became powerful and interesting until I got those casts changed finally two weeks later." Today's birth story features Jen McLellan of Plus Size Mommy Memoirs and Peachie Moms sharing her experience with pregnancy and birth as a plus size woman. Initially, she was very discouraged by what she found online regarding what she should expect as an expecting plus size mom. But through research and dedication, she found a supportive birthing team within a hospital midwifery practice, and ultimately had an empowering, beautiful, natural birth. Now she is is committed to helped all plus size moms be informed about their options and empowered in their births. Jen McLellan is a published author and certified childbirth educator who advocates for plus size women. She promotes positive information to empower healthy decision making during pregnancy. Within her blog, Plus Size Mommy Memoirs, she helps women navigate the world of plus size pregnancy, shares tips for embracing your body, and laughs along with the adventures of motherhood. Her work has been featured in major publications such as Yahoo Shine, Huffington Post, Everyday Feminism, and International Doula. In addition, she co-authored the Amazon bestseller, The Peachie Moms Guide to Body Love for Moms. Jen is also a skilled patient advocate, professional speaker, wife, and mother to a charismatic 5 year old. When I got the following message from Danielle Knapp, I was brought to tears knowing the affect that this podcast had had on her unexpected birth experience and knew I had to have her on the show! I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how impactful your podcast was for me!! I listened to your empowering birth stories almost everyday during my third trimester. I laughed and cried and clung to the hopes that I too would have an empowering birth. My first birth was in the hospital and it was 31 hours. An epidural in the last 3 hours after a goal of all natural. I felt defeated and 'less than' bc I couldn't do it.... Well, I gave birth almost three weeks ago to my second daughter. My plan was a to have a peaceful water birth at the Austin Birthing Center. Baby had other plans. I ended up delivering her myself... in the car... on the highway, while my husband was speeding to try to get us to the birthing center on time. I didn't even tell him bc I was afraid he would pull over or crash or I don't even know. I just quietly pulled her up on the back bench of our expedition. I feel like the collective confidence I absorbed through all those women's stories is why it happened the way it did. I was never fearful, and even in the most absurd circumstances, it was still a calm and peaceful experience for both me and my daughter. And best of all, I feel so empowered from the experience. So thank you for doing what you do! I really am not sure how I would have handled a precipitous birth and highway delivery had I not had all those beautiful women on my mind! The Knapp's welcomed their first daughter, Piper Clementine on January 20th, 2013. It was a grueling 31 hour labor. Looking for a different experience, Danielle planned to give birth at The Austin Area Birthing Center for baby girl number two. After a precipitous birth, Posey James was born in the car, northbound on Interstate 35 on the way to the birth center in Austin. Today's guest is Katrina Meek who lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. The cesarean rates are extremely high in many parts of South Africa, similar to in Brazil but Katrina knew she wanted a natural birth. After having her first child at a birth center, she decided to plan a homebirth with her second. She faced a great deal of resistance from friends and acquaintances regarding her decision but she ultimately knew it was the perfect birth experience for her. Today’s guest is Sarah Villareal who is an L&D (labor and delivery) nurse and mother. She is going to share all three of her birth stories, starting from when she found out she was pregnant, and why she chose to have natural births (one in the hospital, one at a birth center, and one at home) each time. Sarah says “I am the Mother to 3 amazing children: Arraya (9), Harbor (4), and Solay (17 months). I am married to the love of my life, my soulmate and the guy who keeps life interesting and always funny, Justin. We have been together for 11 years. We are most certainly partners and share in the responsibility of raising this family. I am a full time Registered Nurse in Labor and Delivery and love my job with all my heart. I love being able to support women through what ever type of birth they wish to have, and then also supporting them when the plans need to change. Tammy gave birth in the UK and was in active labour with her son Milo for 24 hours. Tammy credits her yoga practice prior getting pregnant for getting her through such a long and arduous birth.

Today's birth stories features Elise sharing her birth center and homebirth experiences. Her first birth at the birth center, although empowering, was not what she was expecting. With her son she carefully planned for and had what she describes as a sacred birth experience. Gypsy mama Elise and her tiny tribe currently call the islands of Hawai'i home, although they are travel junkies most of the year. Elise whole heartedly believes in natural birth, gentle-playful parenting, and living life to the fullest! She is passionate about sharing her experiences birthing her two babes, which she believes inspires the way she now lives her life. Everything in life comes back to the breath. Welcome to the Birth Hour! In this episode, Danielle Burkleo shares the birth story of her fifth child, Lula. She talks a little bit about her first 3 births and then tells the story of her most recent pregnancy and birth. Her pregnancy this time around was a little uncertain and as she discusses in this episode; but, ultimately she ended up giving birth to a healthy 11 pound baby girl! Listen to Danielle share her story in her own words. Welcome to The Birth Hour! In this episode, Joyce tells all three of her birth stories. Joyce had three natural births that share some similarities, but which were also surprisingly different. As a doula, Joyce offers a helpful, informative perspective on birth and doesn't hold anything back!

With rising gasoline prices and highway toll charges, one would think automobile sales, especially luxury vehicles, would be negatively affected, but that hasn't necessarily been the case in Puerto Rico, reports Caribbean Business (Oct. 26, 2005): According to the "Automobile Retail Sales Report" prepared by Plaza Motors Corp., new-auto sales during the month of August, the latest numbers available, was 11,896 units, up 14.6% from same month last year, and 10% higher than July 2005. Year-to-date sales of 90,488 units reflect a 6.7% increase over the same period in 2004, when the industry sold 84,789 units. Despite concerns about the government's fiscal crisis, the effects of increased taxation on vehicles, as well as rising gasoline and toll charges, industry observers contend local auto sales are on track to match and even beat last year's record of 134,391 units sold; The reason? Although attractive manufacturer discounts and special offers by local financing institutions certainly have enticed a large number of consumers to change their old car for a new one, the lack of a reliable public transportation system, plus the Urban Train's limited coverage area have turned the automobile into a necessity rather than a commodity in Puerto Rico. According to Department of Transportation & Public Works statistics, there are 2.5 million registered vehicles on the island. In fact, Puerto Rico has one of the highest concentrations of vehicles and paved roads per square mile in the world. Of the new units sold in August, 6,935, or 58.3% were cars and 4,961, or 41.7%, were sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), which include light trucks, pickups, and minivans. Kelley Blue Book, the trusted resource for used and new car information, invites consumers to use its name and seal to help sell their vehicles. As of today, consumers can log on to www.kbb.com, research the suggested private party Blue Book value of their vehicle and then quickly and easily print a personalized "FOR SALE" sign with the recognized Kelley logo. When consumers decide to sell their cars, they turn to Kelley Blue Book to determine the fair, private party value. In July, consumers generated more than 10 million private party pricing reports on cars they were looking to sell or buy. As a champion of the transaction, the company now offers this simple tool to assist owners in selling their cars quickly and easily. "With this new window sticker, sellers can compare their asking price to the trusted Kelley Blue Book value," said Stephen Henson, vice president of marketing, business development. "It helps build credibility and trust with any potential buyer." The window sticker is topped with the words "FOR SALE" in large 30 point type, so that drivers at a car-length's distance can read the sign. The Kelley Blue Book seal and suggested private party value follows, letting potential buyers know the seller had done their homework. The sign also includes the year, make, model, mileage and condition of the car, along with a list of the vehicle's standard and upgraded features. In the center of the sign is a large box with a dollar sign for consumers to write in the amount they are seeking for the vehicle. To print a personalized window sticker, go to kbb.com and click on the 'Private Party Values' link on the home page. Quickly select the year, make, model and condition of the car to be sold.

A cluster valve is no different from any other Tomcat Valve. The cluster valves are interceptors in the invocation chain for HTTP requests, and the clustering implementation uses these valves to make intelligent decision around data and when data should be replicated. The ReplicationValve will notify the cluster at the end of a HTTP request so that the cluster can make a decision whether there is data to be replicated or not. filter For known file extensions or urls, you can use this Valve to notify the cluster that the session has not been modified during this request and the cluster doesn't have to probe the session managers for changes. If the request matches this filter pattern, the cluster assumes there has been no session change. An example filter would look like filter=".*\.gif|.*\.js|.*\.jpeg|.*\.jpg|.*\.png|.*\.htm|.*\.html|.*\.css|.*\.txt" . The filter is a regular expression using java.util.regex. In case of a mod_jk failover, the JvmRouteBinderValve will replace the jvmWorker attribute in the session Id, to make future requests stick to this node. If you want fallback capability, don't enable this valve, but if you want your failover to stick, and for mod_jk not to have to keep probing the node that went down, you use this valve. The ClusterSingleSignOn supports feature of single sign on in cluster. By using ClusterSingleSignOn, the security identity authenticated by one web application is recognized by other web applications on the same virtual host, and it is propagated to other nodes in the cluster. The Valve uses a replicated map. You can setup the flag for how this map sends messages. The default value is 6 (synchronous). Note that if you use asynchronous messaging it is possible for update messages to be processed by the receiving node in a different order to the order in which they were sent. Set to true if you wish this Valve to fail if the underlying replication fails to start. If the Valve fails, then the associated container will fail to start. If you set this attribute to false, and the underlying replications fails to start, the Valve will start and it will attempt to join the cluster and start replication as part of the heartbeat process. If not specified, the default value of false is used. accessTimeout The timeout for a ping message. If a remote map does not respond within this timeout period, its regarded as disappeared. Default value is 5000 milliseconds. If you have trouble and need help, read Find Help page and ask your question on the tomcat-users mailing list. Do not ask such questions here.

When I asked my tutor group to list their hat preferences back in the spring, a depressingly large number of them requested a particular colour for the bobble. "UGH!" was my instant thought, "I am NOT making pom poms!" Memories of those pieces of cardboard came back to me: the pain of cutting a circle out of the middle of some circles; trying to force the ball of yarn through the centre of the circles; getting bored and thus ending up with a floppy bobble. Friends at knit group suggested a pom pom maker but I remained dismissive; however, it slowly dawned on me that it couldn't possibly be as painful as it was when I was a child. I watched a video on YouTube of a woman making a pom pom using a Clover pom pom maker and it seemed like a doddle; the video was 14 minutes long and for lots of that she was just chattering on, so I decided to give it a go. I think it's fair to say it was a success. I managed to knit a whole hat and do the pom pom in under two hours this morning at knit group; the rest of the pom poms were put together whilst catching up on Educating the East End this afternoon. Very quick and very satisfying. In between trying to catch up on work and feeling guilty for watching TV and not catching up on work, I like to knit, bake, read, wii and practise my teacher glare in the mirror.

On June 30th, the day prior to the dedication of a Sefer Torah at the recently renovated Ohel Rachel Synagogue for the U.S. Presidential Delegation, there was another very exciting event of historical significance. This took place at our Shanghai Community's Beit Midrash facility. At a Cocktail Party, in a private and exhilarating moment, the Shanghai Jewish Community held a dedication of the Sefer Torah presented by Rabbi Arthur Schneier, who donated the Torah through the Park East Synagogue of New York City, USA Rabbi Schneier expressed his thoughts to our Community. He told us to remember, "You are pioneers in Shanghai with a glorious future. You are a united Community team and should feel proud to be Jews." He said, "The greatest Mitzvah of 613 Mitzvahs is Erev Yisrael, love of fellow Jews." We now have a very dynamic Executive Committee, which is planning fund-raisers, educational and social activities and we hope to soon welcome our Community's first full time Rabbi in decades. Whether we will be able to hold services at the Synagogue still remains unclear, but we are hopeful. As we begin a new era, we look forward to very exciting times and hope members of our Community continue to become involved in this most remarkable moment in Shanghai's history. During World War II, Shanghai's Hongkou District was a safe haven for over 20,000 Jewish refugees fleeing from Nazi-dominated Europe. After the War, when Shanghai, like the rest of China, was under Communist rule, most of the Jews left for various corners of the globe. Today, after 50 years of being devoid of a formal Jewish Community, there have been great strides towards the rebirth of the Shanghai Jewish Community. In May 1998, the first Executive Committee was elected with about 200 people representing more than 15 countries. The restoration of the Ohel Rachel Synagogue and presentation of a Sefer Torah represents many things to many people, including the importance of freedom of religion as well as the open-mindedness and thoughtfulness of the Chinese Government. For the Jewish people world-wide, it is testimony of our history in this beautiful Asian city. Albert Sassoon, President of the Shanghai Jewish Community, and Seth Kaplan, Senior Advisor, were in attendance during the Sefer Torah presentation at the Ohel Rachel Synagogue on July 1st. When speaking with Albert Sassoon, he said, "I was thrilled and honored to be the first President of the newly formed Jewish Community, especially on this momentous occasion to see that the Synagogue was beautifully finished and decorated. However, I was saddened that the entire Jewish Community could not have been there to share it with me. He added, "It was a pleasure for me to meet the First Lady, her daughter and the US Secretary of State. The First Lady was very optimistic and hopeful that all religion will be accepted in China." Seth Kaplan said, "I was touched by being able to participate in such an important historical event in the Synagogue. The Sefer Torah and Rabbi Schneier's presence made it feel almost like a real religious service."

Visiting sound and space artist Kerstin Ergenzinger will present her work on June 6th at 11:30h in room2. In the new “Navigating Noise”, “Acts of Orientation” and other works, Kerstin Ergenzinger plays with the sonic as a cultural formatting of sound and more. She’s sonic and holistic and full of techno sonic knowledge. Figuring out noise is only one side to her multi-pronged work. The body and perception figure heavily: “Central themes within Kerstin’s artistic investigations are the inextricable relation between the body and the world, between perception and the perceived, between sensing and sense-making.” This special visit will include an introduction to her field of sonic architectures. She will detail her research and productions, and describe how she finds and repurposes light, sound, kinetics and traditional media towards farther thinking investigations. New notable achievements can be seen and experienced through her workin installation, electronic arts, sculpture and drawing. Since 2016 Kerstin Ergenzingerhas been a fellow of the Berlin Center for Advanced Studies at the University of the Arts Berlin where she is working on a two year project called “Rhythmic Textures”. Recent shows include zeich[n]enKunstmuseum Bonn; Acts of Orientation, Schering Stiftung, Berlin; and unREAL: The Agorithmic Present, House of Electronic Arts, Basel and Chronus Arts Center, Shanghai.

My 4-day Hong Kong trip has been intense with a lots of sightseeing, good food but surprisingly little shopping (I’m on a shopping diet). Let me first fill you in with the sightseeing part and my feel of the place. Hong Kong welcomed me on the first day with … pouring rain! Nonetheless, that didn’t dampen my spirits from looking around. I headed first to the must-see Central district. I went to the oddly-named PMQ. This is a heritage site with an interesting past. It started life as the first public school to provide western education. Several famous public figures (eg Dr. Sun Yat-sen) have been schooled here. The buildings were later transformed into Police Married Quarters (whence its name). About two years ago, PMQ was transformed yet again to be open to the public as a hip cluster for local design talents and the creative industry. It has become a stage for creative happenings, and to meet arty types in design studios, galleries and shops. A short stroll away is the Man Mo Temple of the Gods of Literature and War. Ambitious students would come here to pray for success in important examinations. Along the way, I walked into only one shop, Grana, but didn’t buy anything. It wasn’t for the lack of temptation – this fashion label offers all high-quality wardrobe staples an affordable prize. I stayed firm on my shopping diet … Hong Kong offers quite a few places for hikes and I was lucky with the weather later in my stay. My friend and I climbed the some 1200+ steps up the Twins Peak, and another thousand steps down. I had sore legs for the next 4 days to remind me of my folly We went out to the other side of the Island, Repulse Bay, to find ourselves in the middle of Hong Kong’s biggest beach festival to kick off the rugby week. We chilled out for the whole afternoon by the beach under the sun, catching a sunburn on point. After a long night of partying (at a place I will tell you more about in my next post), I opted for the lighter program of a sightseeing walk in Wan Chai, Victoria Park, and Causeway Bay (and its market). These are must-see neighborhoods, each with its quaintness. For example, visit the huge malls of Causeway Bay if you want to experience the sheer density of shopping crowds. On one nice afternoon, I continued my stroll to the Stanley Promenade in the south. There you will find a small market to shop for souvenirs. For me, it was about enjoying the scenery and delightful weather. I actually preferred the beach along Repulse Bay. I also ventured out to Lantau Island and climbed (once again) the 268 steps to see the imposing Tian Tan Buddha (also known as the Big Buddha) statue close up. Sitting 34 meters high, it faces north as if to look over the people. I too enjoyed the bonus of a sweeping view of Hong Kong over the hilly landscape and sea. Next to the statue is the Po Lin Monastery a Buddhist sanctuary with colorful and beautiful architectural features. It’s amazing how much you can see over a long weekend. More than monuments and other landmarks, Hong Kong is really about the buzz, the contrasting sights of traditional and modern, and the palpable energy of the street atmosphere. For example, just a two minute walk from the popular “Time Square” shopping mall, you find an open food market and “street food”. That leads us to the highlight of my next post – Hong Kong for the foodies. I have survived another trip to Idaho for Mayhem. I think I even managed not to bring home any extra pounds, which wasn’t easy. Sarah’s husband Chris makes a really, really good pina colada! (Though perhaps trying to use them to clean my brushes may have helped limit the calories!) I did bring home a few shiny things, like the “Brownie” pictured above, and molds to make more shiny things. And, as usual, I came home with a head full of new ideas and inspiration in abundance. Unfortunately what greeted me was a very, very sick husband. We took Alan to the emergency room the day after I arrived home, and he was diagnosed with pneumonia. The poor guy is now bedridden, so needless to say he is even more grateful than usual to have me home again! So I will be handling that, and getting things back in order in the studio, for the next few days. I do have a lot of things to share from the trip, but I’ll probably spread them out over several posts. A friend also pointed out to me that I should include something to show his scale, since my hands – which are really small – could be misleading. The original Imp was small enough, and earthenware shrinks another 6%, so he is smaller still. My first glazed Imp, “Butterbean” is finally done. He wasn’t cool enough to pull from the kiln until it was dark out, so I won’t be able to get proper studio pictures of him before I leave for Boise. But I had to share, because he’s just painfully cute! It’s hard to tell in this photo since there is a lot of glare (no photo cube!), but he’s a grulla pintaloosa. I was a little worried because almost all his detailing was handpainted, and that’s always a big chance when working with underglazes. But it all fired just as I hoped it might. Perhaps he picked up on all the good Mother’s Day karma floating around! He’ll be flying out with me in the morning, since I want to show him to Joan and Sarah. I’ll post “real” pictures of him when we return. In fact, it will probably be a bit of a baby boom around here when I get back, since the others will have Imps to work on, and I’ll be glazing a Brownie or two. Hello! If you are interested in realistic equine art, with a particular emphasis on horse color, you have found the right place. Here you can peek inside the pottery, and see the process behind the making limited edition ceramic horses. This is also home to an independent press devoted to publishing books about horse color, so those topics get discussed here as well.

Copyright © Aston Clinton Scientific Limited | Policies | Terms & Conditions | designed by Wink Creative So, you finally decided to receive your first tattoo, and you can hardly contain your excitement. The sole issue you have is understanding just what the numbers will be when it comes to determining overall tattoo price. It is here perhaps that a great deal of people find themselves losing a little of the first excitement of having their first tattoo, but this waning might be a bit too premature. The simple fact remains that unless you’re intimately knowledgeable about the scale of pricing at a specific tattoo parlor, you really can not determine what the cost of your tattoo might be. First impressions relating to this conundrum are somewhat disconcerting. How often do you opt to buy something with no idea of how much it will cost? Moreover, because this is a first tattoo, where do you begin? Layout – If you are going with a traditional design that is right off the wall, then you are probably not considering a pricey tattoo. But if you choose to have a custom design made for you, the purchase price will most certainly go up. Ditto on the dimensions and its effects on cost, too. To Shade or Not To Color – In exactly the same vein of sophistication, should you choose to include color in your tattoo, you are adding another dimension of labour to the mix, and you are tapping into the artist’s resources. Placement – A tattoo on your chest might just differ in cost from one that has been put over your rib cage. Therefore, inking your knuckles and feet may also differ in cost from something being emblazoned across your shoulder blades. Do Not Make A Concession – Getting a tattoo from a excellent artist is more than only a status symbol among the inked masses. It means you really appreciate the quality and workmanship of this artist enough to save up your cash for their services. You can always go with a artist that meets your budget which does a fantastic job, but there is no reason you could not save up a bit more to actually get the ideal person for your job. Tattoo cost should not be something which dampens the excitement you’ve got for getting a tattoo. Whether it’s your first piece of body art or another in a long streak of committed pieces, you are making a cost to showcase you. Having said that, be a proactive consumer and see Melbourne Wildlife Control to get an idea of the costs you could be studying. You will find that being comfortable with your environment and the artist working with you may supersede your initial misgivings about what you are paying.

In 1985, Katie Hughes-Schroeder started Irish dancing on the southside of Chicago at the Dennehy School of Irish Dance. Katie still cherishes her time and memories with Mr. and Mrs. Dennehy and their daughter, Kathy. She loved solo and team dancing during this time. Later, Ms Hughes-Schroeder attended the Lavin-Cassidy School located in the Beverly area. At both schools, Katie had many successes in solo and team competitions. Her successes included winning multiple (solo and team) regional titles, top ten placements in the nation, and multiple trips to compete at the All-Ireland and World Championships in Ireland. In the Summer of 2000, Katie decided to venture out and open her own dance school, the Hughes Academy. In 2003, Katie passed the certification exam to become a member and certified teacher with the An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (CLRG) in Dublin, Ireland. Throughout the last 18 years, Ms. Hughes-Schroeder has enjoyed many special highlights as a teacher. Katie’s students have competed at the regional, national and international level since 2003. Katie Hughes Schroeder has been married to her husband, Krist for almost 16 years and they have three daughters, Keeley (14), Keira (13) and Keagan (11). They live in a forest preserve house on 600 hundred acres and enjoy daily visits from the wildlife. “Every staff member is beyond talented and so passionate about each one of their students and teaching them the beautiful art of dance. At Ballet 5:8 you don’t feel like just another student getting lost in the numbers, you feel like a member of one big family!” “The teachers bring a wonderful mixture of experience, discipline, and love to each of their classes.

Stewart Reuben, an English author who penned "How Good Is Your Pot-Limit Hold'em" and "How Good is Your Pot-Limit Omaha," has produced an interesting, and what might become quite a controversial work, in "Poker 24/7 (35 Years As a Poker Pro)" (256 pages, hardbound, $24.95). He apparently likes to "walk the edge of controversy," which in this case means he hints at things people have done -- sometimes on the dark side. But he can be annoying because he doesn't quite get to actual "documentation" of any event he hints at. On occasion, Reuben may suspect he's been cheated or that someone, a former financial backer of his, has abandoned him. But his conclusions end up fuzzy and unclear. The book is not without merit. It contains excellent, isolated situations where he analyzes poker hands -- what went right and what went sadly wrong. There are hundreds of players, gamblers and betting buddies (and not so buddy-types) in Reuben's book. A sampling of players he's either played against, has an opinion about or has heard about: Bobby Baldwin, Benny Binion, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Bob Ciaffone, T.J. Cloutier, Eric Drache, Chris Ferguson, Dan Harrington, Phil Hellmuth, Howard Lederer, Mansour Matloubi, Chris Moneymaker, Johnny Moss, Puggy Pearson, Chip Reese, Mike Sexton, David Sklansky, Jack Straus and Stu Ungar. There are individuals identified by unusual nicknames, many of them uncomplimentary, such as Little Sleaseball, Brian the Burglar, Crazy Charlie, Crazy Kid. Reuben is British; many of his friends and acquaintances are too, so the book is bound to appeal to players from England, Ireland and the U.S. In a way, the book fills an informational gap. Americans who have never played in the United Kingdom will get a better picture or "feel" for how the game is played there and get an idea of what led Reuben -- as well as other Brits who are ever-increasing on the tournament circuit -- to the lure of the green felt tables. Understanding the mindset of international players could be of some benefit to online players and those who are just achieving some level of confidence in cash games and tournament play. Perhaps too, Reuben's fears, weaknesses, experiences, mistakes and the like will relate to those newcomers yet to win big; go on tilt and lose all and who will soon face some of the greats of the poker world. I wish Reuben could have fact-checked the correct spelling of Jack Straus' name -- it is listed in the book as Strauss, an error authors and journalists made for more than 10 years until it was corrected in the mid-1980s forever by having Straus produce a driver's license to one and all at Binion's during the World Series of Poker. This blatant error has always been a pet peeve for this reader. Overall, the book has value, although I'd rather seen it in paperbound at a lower price. But we all know poker players balk at no price when they want a book badly enough. Copyright Gambler's Book Shop.

Okay, before you start thinking that I'm so excited to get my child asleep so I can get things done, don't. That is not where I'm going with this! We have recently started a bed time routine with Taylor. We start off with a bath while relaxing music is playing in the background. (Lately we've been playing Acappella Lullabyes). Then we get her pj's on and Blake comes in and reads her a couple books and tells her a story. Next its off to our bed to feed her and get her to sleep. Then she goes down in her crib for the night (or at least until she wakes up). I have really started enjoying this time and even look forward to it every day. It is some of Taylor's sweetest time. She loves her bath and is so "cuddly" afterwards. I even love sitting at the door and listening to Blake read and make up stories for her! Who knew you could find so much joy in simple things like giving a bath and reading a book!? Søk · Logg inn · Registrer samliv mellom to organismer av forskjellige arter.

Little Scorpio demandingly reads the neighborhood with its cry — it requires the constant attention of adults, and does not suffer when they are late with food, or do not change the diaper for a long time. The kid quickly begins to recognize the people closest to him, he gets used to his mother and father, showing his love with his whole being. Other people cause the Scorpio child alertness, he can even loudly howl, when in his space, which he considers safe for himself, is invaded by an unfamiliar person. Very soon parents will feel that their kid is a real person, he has his own principles and rules, demands respect for his personality and will desperately defend his individuality. Only love, as well as manifestations of love in the form of kisses, affectionate words, stroking, can soften a little the stern position of little Scorpio, and parents should use the "carrot method" to smooth the situation in some tense moments with him. Little Scorpio must necessarily hear the approval of his good deeds, praise, he should feel loved, even if there are many children in the family, otherwise he will close up, go into himself, become gloomy and capricious, and it will be very difficult to talk with him in the future. Surrounding the world a small Scorpio study with great interest and excitement. He learns the world from all sides in a literal sense — parents should keep an eye on him so that he does not try the leaves and berries for taste, and does not dig the earth with his hands. Scorpio’s dirty and wet clothes do not scare, and when Mom turns away, he will spank with pleasure at the deepest puddle. The most favorite toys for Scorpio — plasticine and mass for modeling. This occupation, he prefers even a game with cars or dolls, he is ready to create masterpieces for hours, and then proudly show the people who fall in his sight, waiting for praise and recognition. To satisfy Scorpio’s passion for creativity, parents from the earliest years should think about the school of early development for the preschooler, or about the school of arts and crafts, because it is there that Scorpio will be able to show all his creativity, and plenty of work with clay and plasticine. Scorpio does not tolerate strict requirements and commands, so parents need to apply something softer, "roundabout" tactics, urging the kid to do something concrete, which he does not want to do. With a child it is better to talk as with an adult - he does not tolerate "lisp", and such treatment will respond only with opposition. It is necessary to allow the child to make conclusions about his actions independently, not trying to scold him for misconduct, and then he will learn to control his behavior well, and analyze everything he wants to do. Impressions about the school of the little Scorpio can be very different. If he is well-received in the team, he will like the class and the teacher — everything will go from the first days, like clockwork, to an enthusiastic wave of knowledge of the world. The main thing is to support this interest of the kid, to carry out lessons with him, to offer various solutions. If the first days in school will bring disappointment, then convince the little Scorpio, adjust it positively to the school will be very difficult, and this will take time. And also the incredible efforts of parents and teachers. Scorpio wants that others know that he keeps everything under control and will be able to cope with any difficulties. If you are the parent of a Scorpion boy, you will have to learn to catch the vibrations coming from your child’s soul — he will diligently hide his emotions. He is painfully sensitive and at the same time afraid to show his vulnerability, so you need to encourage him to show feelings. Quietly, he often sends a signal about the struggle in his soul. Scorpio must be explained that he does not need to be strong and unruffled all the time. Since Scorpio is prone to strong affection and dislike, he will certainly let you know what he did not like. Interested in something, he is unlikely to be able to switch attention. Even as a child, they can get hold of the desire to engage in anything, and it will be difficult for him to move on to business that does not excite in him the same enthusiasm. The Scorpio boy is invariably betrayed by those he loves, but at the same time is capable of expressing a bitter truth. He is so keenly aware of his own reaction, that it is not easy for him to embellish the truth in order to please others. Therefore, it is often possible to hear comments from him that other people are afraid to say. Scorpio has an incredible sense of unity, and if someone attacks his close or close friends, he will be the first to respond to the offender. Scorpion girls comprehend female tricks, hardly having learned to go and talk. With age, they practice tricks and soon acquire the ability to achieve their goals, attract people to themselves and change circumstances in their favor. Even at the age of four, the Scorpio girl will seriously try to seduce you — to get ice cream or listen to a bedtime story. She knows exactly what she wants, but at the same time can be incredibly vulnerable — this complex combination is the source of Scorpio’s charm. Scorpio almost always sees not only what is on the surface, and if anything disturbs it, it seeks to hide anxiety in the depths of the soul, but fears can spill out in the form of nightmares or closed and unsociable. The Scorpio girl needs an understanding and reliable listener, before whom she can open her soul without fear of criticism or evaluation. In addition, she needs to learn to trust people, since it can be difficult for Scorpio to overcome internal suspicion. It is interesting to observe how this child laughs and confides the secrets of his beloved grandmother, and then watch him during the arrival of an unloved aunt — Scorpio suddenly becomes self-absorbed. The Scorpio girl has a strength to be reckoned with, but at the same time she is endowed with the ability to love deeply. A Scorpio child needs to know: the love of parents for him is immeasurable. Do not be afraid of the violent manifestations of feelings of the child-Scorpio: the emotions experienced by him are much brighter and stronger than others. And if adults know how to keep them in check, then the children have not yet mastered this art. Raising a Scorpion child is not easy. Such children, as a rule, are often punished, unable to cope with them in a different way. But to them, as to no one else, violence is not recommended if the parents do not want to receive even greater cruelty in return. If the child has hurt, he should definitely be told about this, but the retaliatory blow is unacceptable in all senses. His aggressiveness should be switched to an intellectual channel, for example, to research activities. Scorpios in no case can not be punished "for prophylaxis", without good reasons. If the Scorpio child is not right, one should be fair, prove one’s rightness by virtue of the possibilities of understanding this baby, turn to his ability to think and reason. These freedom-loving creatures should be the least possible to impose anything. If they express their opinion, it must be taken into account, especially since it often appears as a result of observations and careful analysis, and these children sometimes surpass adults by their observation. If the Scorpio kid is not right, you should explain to him why, but in no case should you just let yourself ignore his opinion. Scorpios have sexual maturity earlier than others, so they need to explain the basic questions of physiology, sexual relations in their childhood. If something is hidden from them, they will figure it out themselves, referring to questionable sources. If the energy of the teenage Scorpio does not have an outlet, he can focus on satisfying the "basic instinct." Bringing up the child of Scorpio, it is necessary to stock up with great patience, with all the strength to try to establish spiritual contact with him — this will avoid many problems. What happens when the Oakland Raiders quarterback breaks a finger on one of his hands? Rumors fly, fans speculate and worry, and we all wait impatiently to get the news from the injured QB or at least form the team's PR camp. Thus is the modern-day nature of the effect a team’s leader can have on the minds of the faithful. Especially when it’s the presumed future quarterback of an organization trying hard to turn around years of recent seasons ending poorly. Once the smoke cleared the news is good for the Raider Nation in that it seems likely Carr will be actively practicing come training camp. But the deeper question from those who run the organization to the last die hard Raider fan is “what would the Raiders do if their leader couldn’t play? The process of building an arsenal of talent to compliment Carr has been well documented thus far in 2015. However what’s the plan in a scenario where Carr was out of the picture for some unforeseeable or unfortunate reason. Is unrestricted free agent Christian Ponder the guy? Is his past performance with the Vikings likely to provide concerned Raider fans any level of comfort? Matt McGloin is in the backup mix but hasn’t proven he’s ready to be a starter that can deliver a full season of success. Cody Fajardo is a free agent sign but he is still a question mark especially when were not even sure if he’ll make the team roster for 2015. Is Ponder then the “guy” if Carr was out? It seems so at this juncture. Purely looking at his past performance however, Ponder gives some reason for concern as he has the propensity across his career to turn over the ball considering interceptions thrown and fumbles lost during his playing time. In all fairness you must look at the team and talent surround his past performance but putting him on the field against AFC West opponents still isn’t comforting to many. These Raider opponents all ended 2014 in the top ten in total passing defense with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers ranked in the best five. Good strategies include well thought out alternative plans and we have to assume the Raiders have spent time accounting for various situations that could arise. But for now Carr is the man running the Oakland Raider offense. The mantra at this point for the Raiders should be “Just Stay Healthy”.

Week 4 is in the books and I'm getting prepped for Week #5! I'm really glad that I started working with another 2 students this past week - it's provided a foundation to develop relationships with them as well as helped me to determine their exact need - which is mainly confidence in their speaking skills. They are both super quiet students and hesitate participating with the whole group. I'm hoping that with our 2 on 1 practice they'll feel more comfortable speaking with a larger group. I know that other students would benefit from small group work as well; I just am having a difficult time figuring out how to make it all work with teaching skills AND monitoring their course work for other classes - all with only one hour a day. I am thinking that there might be some time next week to conference with them about their latest writing sample. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for that! This coming week, I'm introducing grammar and phonics skills. We'll practice some decoding skills with prefixes and suffixes. And even though I've observed students getting frequent grammar practice in their English classes, their writing samples do not reflect the level of proficiency I would expect with said practice. This week has got me thinking about the types of written language lessons that are taught in other countries. I just assumed that if a student had decent writing skills in one language that it would transfer over to a secondary language. For example, aren't capitalization rules consistent across various languages? Is this taught in the schools in their native country? I guess that just goes show that I really shouldn't assume ANYTHING! Ha! And now for what I created and want to share with you, if you think it'll be useful for the students that you work with. I found that my class could make use of a scaffold to support writing paragraphs that helped them think of additional descriptions for the details of the main idea. The following document is what I came up with. You can get it as a Google Doc HERE. I found that my students were typing their thoughts into Google Translate and then simply copying and pasting the translation into the Google Document without thinking about the sense of the sentence. I figured if they're going to do that, they might as well be forced to write by hand the words, phrases and sentences that Google provided. So rather than sharing the Google Doc through Google Classroom, I ran paper copies of the worksheet. I'll eventually get to demonstrating for them the imperfections of Google Translate. If you find that this structure for adding descriptions to the details works for your students, it's easy to change the writing prompts to suit your needs. It's unbelievable that practically an entire calendar year has gone by since I have last posted on this blog. Yikes! As I reflect on the reason why it simply comes down to what took place last year. Sometime during the first quarter of the 2017-18 school year, I was asked to take over a class that I had never taught before. If you have ever taken over a class from another teacher(s), you know the challenges that can present themselves in regards to teacher expectations vs student behaviors, student work ethic, and student skill levels. But to no fault of their own, this group of students had as many as SEVEN different adults managing the class in a four week period of time. Such is the facts of life in a hard-to-fill teaching position (high school science) in a state that is now known nationwide for its low teacher pay (Arizona). While I was happy to fill in, I was not anticipating teaching the class for the remainder of the year, which is exactly what ended up happening. And I just wasn't ready for it. But I had to do it, it was now my assigned job. If I am being completely honest, I intentionally left the classroom full-time because I was completely emotionally drained. I love teaching and was willing to put 100% of myself into fulfilling my position with the best of my ability. But after 18 years, there wasn't much left in my tank. I had to make a change. Fortunately, the position of Technology Integration Specialist opened up at an opportune time and I was selected to fill it. I loved the fact that I could focus my energies on teachers and making a difference in a different way than I had ever before. And so, I find myself three weeks into the 2018-19 school year, once again doing something I wasn't anticipating, but thankfully, a bit more energized. The title of my responsibilities has changed to Instructional Coach for Secondary Teachers. I get to work primarily with new teachers (Yay!) and providing professional development (Double Yay!). AND...I am still teaching one hour a day, but doing something I have never done before, providing support to our English as a Second Language learners. The group of students I work with are at various levels of English acquisition and are from multiple countries, mostly Spanish speaking regions. By the way, did I mention that I am NOT bilingual? The group of students is small compared to regular classes (Whew!) and they are all supremely pleasant to work with (Hallelujah!) I am finding that I STILL have time to balance my other responsibilities of working with new teachers and planning PD, something that I couldn't balance last school year. My goal for this year, is to be intentional about blogging more regularly, both for reflection and sharing purposes. I want to continue to grow as a professional as well as connect with other educators. Have you ever been re-assigned in the middle of the school year? How did you handle it? What are you most looking forward to for this school year? What are you an expert at? Maybe you’re not a world-class expert, but you know more than enough about a particular topic or you have a specialized skill set that not many other people possess. I have teacher friend who within the last few years has developed a gardening skill that produces some magnificent vegetables. She’s done her homework in learning what season is best for growing particular foods. She’s dedicated the time necessary to care for her plants. She literally enjoys the fruits, and vegetables, of her labor. If I ever decided that I wanted to learn how to grow my own food, she’d be the one I’d go to first. When asked about her backyard garden and what got her started with this hobby, she simply just tells me that she wanted to know if she could do it. The challenge of doing something that she hadn’t done before intrigued her. She needed something to redirect and refocus her thinking after a long day in the classroom. And the potential of saving a few dollars at the grocery store was a little bit appealing too. No one was telling her that this was what she needed to do. It all stemmed from an inner desire to develop a new skill. She’s intrinsically motivated to do her best. An Empowered Learner displays motivation to learn. Our students are often motivated in many areas of interest that we rarely see because they are not written into a state standard. We teach student athletes, musicians, artists and even gamers who spend hours of their own time developing skill sets that provide for them a sense of empowerment. Maybe our students aren’t able to articulate why they do what they do, but researchers who have studied what motivates people find that when a learner is intrinsically motivated the learning that occurs is authentic learning. It’s learning that sticks because the individual has found a way to make multiple connections within their existing schema. The neural network is literally rewiring itself when we see how one concept relates to another. The more connections that are made, the deeper the learning that occurs. And once the rewiring takes place, we are able to apply that new knowledge in different ways, to make reiterations of it. This transfer of learning is what prompts us to ask ourselves, “I wonder how I could…”fill in the blank. We ask more questions when we are intrinsically motivated, and when we ask more questions the creativity that exists in all of us flourishes because we want to find solutions. But we don’t simply seek to get to the final discovery, we thrive on the exploration and the experimentation that takes place along this journey. For us, the destination isn’t the end, but the beginning of something else. Through this process of learning, we find deep personal satisfaction. While encouragement, compliments, and awards are appreciated, an intrinsically motivated person will continue to pursue their passion even if no one pays attention. While life does provide us the opportunity to be adventurous and explore new territories, there are things that we just have to learn how to do, because it’s part of life. For these instances, our motivation is extrinsic, and the learning is usually just enough to get us by, or surface learning. Oftentimes, what we supposedly have learned can’t be recalled long after the the need for it passes. Our interest in the topic or skill only goes as deep as the requirement demands and please don’t ask us to invest much of our precious time, energy, or effort. Just tell us what we have to do and we’ll do it and be done with it. The final destination is all we care about and the straighter the path to get there, the better. After all, we’re only learning how to do something in order to satisfy someone else’s requirement. Can I be honest with you about something? This is exactly how I felt about completing the SEI requirements that the Arizona Department of Education stipulates in order to have a valid teaching license. I remember nothing about that learning experience. But, in order to cope and be compliant with state law, I’ve figured out who in my school district does know and I refer to her as my source of information. This allows me to keep my mental activity on other areas of interest. Our students are no different. If they are learning something in school that they have difficulty mustering up the motivation, they will simply do the bare minimum requirement and find other resources to help them stay compliant. It is our job to create learning experiences that draw on their interests, that support them in the neural networking process, and light a fire within them so that the learning that takes place is authentic. We accomplish this by giving them a VOICE and a CHOICE in our classrooms. This is what drives an Empowered Learner. A connection. Whenever I have listened to an "inspirational" speaker, the framework of their message is based on their ability to connect with the audience. The speaker describes a circumstance in which a majority of the listeners can relate to in some sort of manner. A stand up comedian is able to generate laughs because we've "been there and done that" too. The ability to uncover similarities is what sparks the connection between you and me; it's the beginning of a relationship. The more ties that we can create, the stronger the connection. Vision. It is said that Michelangelo could look at a block of marble and see the sculpture that was meant to be discovered with his hammer and chisel. Being able to see what yet does not exist requires us to shed personal biases through which we currently view our experiences. A vision-caster has the ability to deliver a perspective for the future that is fresh and innovative. A clearly stated vision can show us the filters and blinders we have and how to remove them in order to begin stepping in a new direction. Potential. The belief that a new vision is possible is core to being inspired. Have you closely observed a droplet of food coloring into a jar of water? What about when the water was cooled compared to when it was heated. The color dissolves much quicker in the heated water because the water molecules have more space in between due to the added energy. A vision-caster heats the water so to speak, creating energy and building potential in order to instill the belief that a new vision is achievable. A Plan. Without a plan, inspiration fizzles. The vision simply becomes framed words on a wall. It can be repeated at every gathering, but without a course of action, it is meaningless. Inspiration gains momentum when the people directly affected are involved in the development of the plan. Empower the stakeholders to determine their own path to achieve the new vision. A Network. Nothing is quite like being surrounded by your supporters. Knowing that for better or worse, you have a team that will stand behind you amplifies inspiration. Not only that, but a solid network of others expands the available talent pool of resources from which to draw. I might be able to do one thing well, but with nine others who have a variety of skill sets, a great many things can be carried out. As the 2017-18 school year commences, how will you inspire the people with whom you work the most closely, whether it be Kindergartners, 12th grade Seniors, the Technology & Transportation Departments or the entire staff at A+ school? Yesterday I finished reading Start.Right.Now.: Teach and Lead for Excellence by Todd Whitaker, Jeffrey Zoul, and Jimmy Casas. While I could provide you with a summary or even a review, I want to get straight to the point of what I learned from reading the book. My big ah-ha was sparked at the end of the book, page 203 to be exact, where the authors state in their own words, that excellence is achieved by being determined to accomplish a goal. Here's why this is a big-ish deal right now: I believe that when considered within the context of my One Word for 2017 - SHIFT - this mindset of being determined to make "it" non-negotiable is how changes happen. When you only try - there is no commitment, no emphasis on what's valuable, no eagerness to be different. I probably suffer from perfectionism. I am hesitant to make changes unless I am assured of the outcome. But here is where this all comes together for me. When I am shifting (small nudges towards something different), I can be more confident in the results. And even if the results are not what I had hoped, I'm not set back that much. Whatever it is that I aiming for is still recoverable, especially if I make it a point to learn from the failure. Knowing this, I can be determined to take small steps towards a goal. Any reluctance I might have pales in comparison to the potential that might result. European patent attorneys – why you should contemplate requesting their assistance and what can they be helpful for? • Bllr European patent attorneys – why you should contemplate requesting their assistance and what can they be helpful for? A european patent is a patent granted by the European Patent Office. This is a European operation, bringing about a unique protection that brings together an assortment of international legislations. As can be expected, good knowledge of at least one foreign language and legislation is demanded for this purpose, which is why it is helpful to work with a prominent law office operating in the intellectual property area. A good law office implies primarily a one which employs some skillful European patent attorneys. The scope of assistance provided by such institutions incorporate: development and filing of patent documentation, utility and industrial patterns, registration of logos in Poland and elsewhere, registration of new biological varieties, patent research, representation of partakers to related courts or legislative bodies in litigations and assistance with the development of a patent strategy, handle operations to invalidate the registered patent or trademark, and issue an opinion on the practicability of such operations. European patent attorneys can also help in the technology transfer, for example in ensuring the rights of parties concerned in commercial negotiations and the preparation of technology transfer arrangements. That makes a pretty long index of professional knowledge which infrequently is in possession of one individual. That is why whoever desires to register a European patent, in the first place should consider consulting a specialized law office. business clients companies company corporations customers Enterprise IT market money people products services software solution time work

Mapping Augustan Rome responds to a lacuna in the field of Roman archaeology and urbanism: there exists no comprehensive reasoned period plan of Republican or Imperial Rome. Our enterprise aimed to create a visual synopsis of what is known about the city of Rome c.A.D. 14 – a pivotal phase of Rome’s transformation into an imperial capital – and to justify our renderings in written form. The result is a set of large-scale maps (1:6000 for the Main Map; 1:3000 for the Central Area) and a critical commentary addressing every structure, area, and aspect depicted. The title, Mapping Augustan Rome, expressly conveys our belief that the work offered here is merely the beginning of a larger process of reasoned visualization to be carried out on many levels of scholarship and which may, eventually, result in a ‘map’ of Augustan Rome. Begun in December of 1998, Mapping Augustan Rome had its origins in a graduate seminar initiated by Lothar Haselberger and co-taught with David Gilman Romano at the University of Pennsylvania. Contributors to the project included eleven graduate students and one undergraduate, hailing from various disciplines including archaeology, art history, ancient history, and classics. Each participant was assigned a region of the Urbs to research, producing written entries and annotated visual materials which were then transformed by D.G. Romano and two graduate students into a digital format. Concurrently, Andrew Gallia and Nicholas Stapp worked to model the physical topography of the Augustan city, one of the project’s notable innovations (for technical details: “Making the map”. At the end of the process, Mark Davison, a professional graphic designer, improved the legibility and aesthetics of the maps. The written text includes two introductory chapters which outline the project’s goals, procedures and accomplishments “An introduction to the experiment”, and explain the intricacies of computerized map-making “Making the map”. The balance of the volume consists of individual entries which seek to justify and explain each aspect of the map. Each region of the city is addressed in a broad, overarching entry, as are several urban systems such as aqueducts, city walls, and suburban expansion. Individual entries detail nearly 400 buildings, monuments, streets, tombs, neighborhoods, and horti, as well as more than 50 aspects of the Augustan city which could not be visualized, often due to an imperfectly known location (for a complete list, consult the indices of the Main Map). Rather than repeating information already available in topographic dictionaries such as the Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae, each entry is limited to issues which impact the rendering process; aspects and debates tangential to the focus of our work are cursorily treated, if at all. Though hindsight always reveals room for improvement, we hope to have provided a critically commented upon period plan of Rome at a crucial stage of its urban development.

Curatorial Statement For nearly two-hundred years, men's wedding attire has remained virtually the same: a black wool suit with a buttoned jacket and pointed lapels. By the 1880s a formal version of the dinner jacket came into fashion and was renamed after a Tuxedo, New York, club where it was first seen in this country. Although gray, blue, and even light-colored linen are worn today, a black tuxedo is by far the most common choice in men's formal wear. This enduring trend has led some to call the tuxedo a uniform, and since renting a tuxedo has been common practice for more than fifty years, there are few examples in the Museum's collection after World War II. More common men's wedding attire in the collection are vests, bow ties, and cuff links. These items are the few means for grooms to express their individuality. Often men chose something to match their brides or, as women did, to wear long after the wedding. When you're wearing the ball and chain : trio : Fresh, Corksey and Bunkie :: Frances G.

The review might be not rigorous and there will be something wrong with the content just because I am still confused with the use of the dual AFC ring. Here I am sincerely hoping for the guidance of all the great gods. Wismec is the sub-brand of Joyetech company. Theorem RTA, the product of Wismec, is a major concern in the listing of the early market. Both the appearance and use of NotchCoil with Cotton are on the fashion front. The height is 46.25mm (1.82 inch) and it is very clear to see the cotton through the glass sleeve. Seen from the brass center pin, you needn’t worry about the safety when the atomizer is used on mod. As the following pictures show, there are 3 x Silicon Orings (Cyan), 4 x Screws, 1 x Hex Key, 2 x Airflow Control Rings (single and dual), 1 x Stainless Lined Glass Sleeve, 1 x Glass Sleeve, NotchCoilTM with Cotton in the package. The blocked top liquid filling port makes the liquid don’t leak when stands upside down for some time.

Jefferson County school Superintendent Phil Hammonds will retire in February 2013. The Board of Education is in the middle of a search for his replacement. (Birmingham News file) HOMEWOOD, Alabama -- The Jefferson County Board of Education decided in a work session today to conduct interviews with five superintendent finalists the week of Sept. 17 and hope to select a new superintendent two weeks later. The finalists are Karyle Green, superintendent of East Allen County Schools in Indiana; Julie Hannah, director of student learning for the Alabama Department of Education; Stephen Nowlin, superintendent of Lee County schools; Alan Dale Robbins, recently retired as associate superintendent of teaching and learning support in Gwinnett County, Ga., public schools; and Brett Stanton, superintendent of Haralson County, Ga., schools. Board President Jennifer Parsons told the board she made contact with each of the finalists last week to check their schedules for the interviews, and the only one who had an issue was Stanton. Parsons said Stanton had a conflict the day he is to be interviewed, Sept. 26. She said she asked him if he could make it work any other day that week or the prior week, and he said no. "The earliest he said he can be available is Oct. 1," she told board members. That is the week the board hopes to make a final selection. "I can't imagine that anyone who is interested in the job can't work something out in a two-week time frame," said Board member Ronald Rhodes. Parsons said she would talk to Stanton about fitting him into the schedule before the week of Oct. 1. If not, the board likely will not interview him. The interviews, which are open to the public, are tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. followed by a less formal meet-and-greet with the public. The board launched its superintendent search in June and hopes to have a new superintendent in place Jan. 2 to replace current Superintendent Phil Hammonds, who is retiring when his contract expires in February 2013.

This was the era that gave rise to marine parks. The biggest and best was, and still is, SeaWorld. The first marine parks started in the1960s and killer whales have been starring in them since 1965. We now understand so much more about animals. Due to the highly sophisticated levels of equipment, we have been given the ability to observe and study all animals in their natural habitats. What we have learned about the animal kingdom is that it has complex societies with strong family ties, sophisticated intellect used in hunting strategies, as well as escape strategies, rearing of young, ways of avoiding inbreeding, problem solving abilities and the use and construction of tools to build their homes and find food. Of all the amazing aspects of animals that we have learned, probably the most meaningful is that animals have the same emotional feelings of fear, love and loss of a loved one that we do. Many of us certainly sensed this, but now we have documented proof. We have learned that animals suffer from the same mental disorders brought on by the same toxic environments of loneliness, deprivation of mental stimuli and loss of freedom and family. We have learned that when an animal is taken out of their habitat and taken away from their families, they have the same longing to go back to where they came from, a place where they all call home, as we do. One of the best witnessed examples of what happens to a wild animal that suffers from all of the above is Tilikum, the star killer whale of SeaWorld for 25 years and held captive for 34 years. Tilikum has become the poster child for all animals that are taken away from their natural habitat and families and made to perform tricks for a paying public. Steve Huxter | The Voice of the Orcas When Tilikum did not perform a trick correctly, food was withheld from both him and his tankmates, which caused a great deal of tension, and as a result, Haida and Nootka would bite Tilikum and rake the entire length of his body with their teeth. The truth is that the orcas obey their commands so they can eat and not be punished for disobeying their commands and have their meals withheld and/or put in a holding tank, just big enough to hold one of them, alone. They are intelligent and are doing what is necessary to survive as they are held captive. SeaWorld was the first worldwide franchise of marine animal parks. SeaWorld, and those fisherman that were among the first to capture killer whales, as well as other seafaring animals, filmed what they did, and how they did it, as historical data that they were proud of. They had no idea what the retelling of that data when viewed in the expose, Blackfish, would cause the enormous negative wave of outcry that would change the very core of marine parks and the way they are viewed. Blackfish, was filmed in 2013 and directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. It revealed the truth to the much more learned individuals of today. Even many of those involved with the capturing of orcas, when interviewed for Blackfish, admitted that what they were doing was wrong and many truly do regret what they did, but not all of them. Blackfish is the story of Tilikum, the killer whale, which shows how SeaWorld and other parks, exploited these highly intelligent sea mammals, by capturing young whales and taking them away from their mothers and family pods. The film shows how the mothers and the calves, as well as other family members, screamed for each other when separated and the entire pod would follow the boat carrying young whales captured and taken from their families. The family pod followed until they were just too tired and heartbroken to continue. Males, that live up to 60 years in the wild, spend their entire lives with their mothers, who live to 80 or 90 years old. Separation from the pod or hostility within the pods is virtually nonexistent. “When you get born into the family, you are always in the family. You don’t have a house or a home that is your location. The group is your home, and your whole identity is with your group. Aggression between members of a pod almost never occurs in the wild. “ I learned about Ken Balcomb, and much of what I now know about captive killer whales, from two articles I read by Tim Zimmermann, who writes for Outside magazine. He also was one of the brave individuals that worked on Blackfish. One of the men that Zimmermann met on his quest to unravel just what happens to whales in captivity, is Ken Balcomb, who is now 75. His headquarters for his Center for Whale Research, is his home, which is on San Juan Island, off the coast of Washington State along the shores of Haro Strait. There he is able to study the whales that pass through and sees them from his home about 80 days of the year. If there is anything to know about orcas, nobody knows more than Balcomb. And for the record, he is one of the good guys, as is Zimmermann. Killer whales live in family units of 20 to 60 whales that are governed by the females of the pod with the oldest female being the supreme leader. We have learned that when a wild animal is taken away from his family, the life he or she was meant to live, made to perform circus tricks and incarcerated for 34 years, it will cause them to go insane. This is the way Tilikum was taken in 1983 at the age of two and has lived in captivity for 34 years. The picture above is of Lolita, who was captured in the Puget Sound, Washington, 13 years earlier than Tilikum. Orca capture techniques using purse-seine nets, high-speed boats, and even underwater explosives and aircraft were perfected in Washington shortly before orca-capture operations became regulated in the United States and were outlawed in Washington state. No longer able to capture orcas from Washington waters, the orca hunters moved to the open waters near Iceland, where Tilikum was captured. Lolita is still alive. Griffin owned the Seattle Marine Aquarium. He had always wanted to train a killer whale. His wish came true in 1965 when he heard of a killer whale that had become tangled in a fishing net off the coast of Namu, British Columbia. He bought the 8,000 pound orca for $8,000.00 and named him Namu. He and his partner, Don Goldsberry, built, what was the first specially built boat, to transport a live orca. You have to wonder what Griffin and Goldsberry were thinking when the entire pod followed the boat most of the way, screaming, as it took their brother and son, Namu, who was screaming back. Namu was the third orca ever captured, but the first killer whale trained to perform in shows with a human in the water with him. Griffin successfully trained Namu and they were an overnight sensation. The killer whale show industry was born and what a money making industry it become for the marine parks and those who supplied the marine parks with captured animals. National Geographic did a story on Namu and Griffin. A movie was made about Namu in 1966, and the sensation he caused grew to astronomical proportions. Everyone that loved animals and even those that didn’t, were mesmerized by what this amazing animal could do in tandem with a fellow mortal. On the scientific front, this was unbelievable and captivating beyond a marine biologists’ wildest dreams. It was everyone’s dream come true to see this massive and beautiful animal, from the depths of the unknown, bond with a human and perform in partnership with Griffin. What they witnessed was the stuff of fairy tales. Namu might as well have been a flying unicorn and Griffin a wizard. Metaphorically, that’s what they were. To see Namu through the glass, gazing back at you, must have been magical. Even though most of us know it is wrong, it is still magical. The children, as well as adults, were captivated by this so long ago. But as I think about it today, I wonder how strange and frustrating it is for an orca, used to nothing blocking their path in the great blue ocean, to look through the clear glass that stopped them from going forward. It stopped the curious Namu from touching the children’s hands, hands that longed to touch him as well. This is where the fascination began and it was a worthy fascination. Fascination is a magical and wonderful state of mind, but with it came the danger and sadness that very few could see or predict. Those that could see it had no more chance of stopping it than stopping a tidal wave. Namu and Griffin’s fame was enormous, but this was not what Namu was meant to do. Zimmermann wrote about this and I will quote him here: “Namu was often heard calling to other orcas from his pen in the sea, and he died within a year from an intestinal infection, probably brought on by a nearby sewage outflow. Griffin was devastated. But his partner at the aquarium, Don Goldsberry, was a blunt, hard-driving man who could see that there was still a business in killer whales.” Based on what I read in Zimmermann’s account, Griffin truly cared for the whale he named Namu and was heartbroken by his death. However, it did not stop him from capturing more orcas, of which many died in the process and many died within a year or so in captivity. But the show must go on. Griffin and Goldsberry were now in the business of capturing and selling whales to the growing marine parks opening up all over the world. As Zimmermann reported, “In October 1965, Goldsberry and Griffin trapped 15 killer whales in Carr Inlet, near Tacoma. One died during the hunt. Another – a 14-foot female that weighed 2,000 pounds – was captured and named Shamu (for She-Namu). In December, a fast-growing marine park in San Diego, called SeaWorld, acquired Shamu and flew her to California. Goldsberry says he and Griffin were paid $70,000. It was the start of a billion-dollar franchise.” Goldsberry eventually became the main supplier of marine animals for SeaWorld and made a fortune doing it. He was calculating, determined and brutal. He killed many orcas in the process of being captured and transported. He caught a total of 252 whales and sold 29 of them. He also managed to kill 9 of them in his nets. Steve Huxter | The Voice of the Orcas This image shows Tilikum covered with lanolin, an oil extracted from sheep’s wool. It is applied to orcas’ whole bodies to prepare them for a long transport without water. In 1983 it was Goldsberry who choreographed the capturing of Tilikum. “Tilikum,” ironically, means “friend” in Chinook. Another male and female were captured with him off the coast of Iceland. Tilikum was placed in a concrete holding tank for almost a year. A year of torture for a young male ripped away from his family and all he knew. The mental stress he endured going to a concrete holding pen, coming from the entire ocean and surrounded by family, was nothing less than cruel and unusual punishment for an innocent animal, and innocent fellow being. Finally, in 1984, Tilikum was shipped to Sealand of the Pacific, off the coast of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island. Sealand was a bad place. In the fourteen years before Tilikum and two females, Haida and Nootka, arrived at Sealand, seven orcas had died there. They were all young whales with an average age of three and a half years old. Robert Wright was the owner of Sealand. He and his trainers trained the whales to perform in shows. The shows were every hour on the hour, eight times a day, seven days a week. The performance pool was netted mesh, 100 x 50 feet, 35 feet deep, strung from floating docks. Wright, was worried about someone cutting the net and freeing the whales or the whales chewing through the net and getting away. So, at night the three whales were put in a steel holding tank 26 feet in diameter and 26 feet deep. They were cramped and irritable. Tilikum got the worst of it. Because females are dominant in the orca world, they bullied him, raked them with their teeth, sometimes he was so badly cut up, he could not perform. All of them were cut up from rubbing the metal sides of the holding tank. Nootka and Tilikum developed ulcers. They were stuck in that tank for 14 1/2 hours every night. Sometimes one, or all of them, refused to go in. If only someone had let them go. If only they had chewed their way out. Unfortunately, the story only gets worse. Bruce Stevens, a trainer for SeaWorld from 1987 to 1989, was brought in to help improve training methods at Sealand. The most significant, invaluable and apocalyptic information Stevens gave Sealand’s trainers was written in a manual that he had given to each trainer. Stevens wrote: “If you fail to provide your animals with the excitement they need, they will create their own excitement.” Orcas need constant change and engagement. Stevens also made changes to their daily routines by adding learning time, playtime and mixing routines up daily. However, after Stevens left, everything went back to business as usual. It was a dangerous situation just waiting for a fatal accident to happen. It was a known fact among people that worked with captive orcas that if anything unusual fell into the tank it would become an instant toy for them to play keep-away with, keeping it from each other and certainly from the trainers. In fact, orcas get bored in the wild as well. I was watching a documentary on orcas many years ago that told me so much about their personalities. Those filming the documentary caught some very rare, and difficult to watch, footage. There were three young orcas that had split from their pod to do some gallivanting. They came across a mother blue whale and her very young calf. “Ahhh…. Now there’s a game we can play,” they must have said to each other. And they do talk to each other. They were relentless and calculating in the way they achieved getting the calf away from its mother and when they did, they were just as relentless and calculating with the calf. They pushed him up and out of the water and volleyed him back and forth. They bit at him and tore his skin. It was only after the calf had died, and was no longer fighting to get away, did they become bored and leave him. They were not hungry or they would have eaten him. They were bored, like a cat, who is the only domesticated animal that has never lost their wild instincts, toying and torturing their prey until it dies or can no longer move. Then leaving it or putting on the porch as a present for their owner. Humans in the tank with killer whales, at this stage of the game, were not a normal occurrence. Many marine parks had begun “desensitizing” whales to objects that fell in, ultimately desensitizing them to a human falling in. It starts with feet dangling in the water working up to a person actually falling in. It is termed “water works” in which humans are actually in the water with the whales. Robert Wright, the owner of Sealand, was unwilling to take that risk. Make no mistake about it, it was and remains a huge risk. As mentioned, Tilikum and Nootka both had developed ulcers. Nootka was irritable and unpredictable. Eric Walters, a trainer that worked at Sealand witnessed a trainer being pulled into the water by Nootka. Lucky for the trainer, Walters quickly pulled her out. Nootka tried to bite Walters’ hand, twice! Once they brought a blind woman from the audience to pat Nootka’s tongue and Nootka bit her. Walters left Sealand out of frustration in 1989 and contacted the Canadian Federation of the Humane Society so that the topic could be brought up at a conference on whales in captivity. He noted the dangerous situation which was not being addressed at Sealand due to the sloppy treatment and training of the whales. As Zimmerann reported, “In closing, Walters wrote, ‘I feel that sooner or later someone is going to get seriously hurt.’” On February 20, 1991, it happened. Keltie Bryne, a part time trainer and student studying marine biology, was cleaning up at the end of the day after the shows had finished. She slipped halfway into the pool and struggled to get out, but it was too late. The deprived, irritable, depressed and bored beyond belief, killer whales grabbed her. Bryne was a “live” plaything. In the dark sea water, it was difficult to see which whale was doing what to Bryne, but it’s safe to say that they all wanted her and whoever had her at any one time was barraged by the other two in an attempt to snatch her away. The trainers did everything they could, from throwing food in the water, giving recall commands and trying to get the life ring close enough for Bryne to grab it. The whales kept her away from it. They were not going to let her go until the game was over. And the game would go on until she no longer struggled. Bryne surfaced twice, screaming each time. She was under the water for ten minutes before she surfaced for the third time. Even after Keltie Bryne had died it took the trainers two hours to recover the body. Bryne had drowned. She also had been beaten to a pulp, bruised and bloody from where the whales bit her, from head to toe. Nootka, Haida and Tilikum had stripped all her clothes off except for one boot. As Zimmermann reported, “‘It was just a tragic accident,’ Al Bolz, Sealand’s manager, told reporters at the time. ‘I just can’t explain it.’” If Bolz was telling the truth about not being able to explain what had happened, it begs the question, why was someone with no knowledge of orcas a manager running a marine park? If he was lying, management was turning a blind eye to the mistreatment of the whales and the potential danger that was bound to occur. As reported by Zimmermann: “Paul Spong, 70 (now 76), director of Orca Lab, in British Columbia – which studies orcas in the wild – did part-time research at Sealand before Tilikum arrived. Spong was not so befuddled. ‘If you pen killer whales in a small steel tank, you are imposing an extreme level of sensory deprivation on them,’ he says. ‘Humans who are subjected to those same conditions become mentally disturbed.’” Before reading Tim Zimmermann’s two articles, I knew nothing in depth about orcas, but I knew this, which I tweeted not long ago regarding Tilikum: “Poor Tilikum. He has been slowly, desperately going out of his mind.” The experts back me up on that. If Tilikum, Haida and Nootka were charged with murder, and I was their lawyer, after hearing the expert witness’ testimony from Paul Spong, I would rest my case and ask that the charge of murder be placed on Sealand’s management. What happened to the marine parks after this incident? Since very few people actually heard about this tragedy, marine parks, especially SeaWorld, continued to grow. No murder charges were filed. Keltie Bryne’s death did have an effect on how things were done, but the true reason that this tragedy occurred was swept under the rug and marine parks did continue to grow and they had no intention of stopping. The easiest way to put a Band-aid on what happened to Keltie Bryne was to look at it as a tragic aberration and that’s what management, fans and most of the world did. But there were a few that recognized the truth early on and got out. They tried to explain it, but no one would listen. Not yet. After Keltie Bryne’s death Sealand’s owner, Robert Wright lost interest in the business. He contacted SeaWorld in 1991 and sold Haida, Nootka and Tilikum to them. Sealand closed in 1992. SeaWorld was aware of what had happened, but Tilikum was a male of breeding age and they had their sights set on breeding killer whales in captivity. SeaWorld was about to get a bonus that they didn’t know existed. Tilikum had already impregnated Haida and Nootka. Goldsberry is definitely one of the bad guys. Here is a little more about Goldsberry’s nefarious whale captures as reported by Zimmermann: “In August 1970, concerned about backlash, Goldsberry weighted some dead orcas down with anchors and dumped them in deep water. When they were dragged up on a Whidbey Island beach by a trawling fisherman, the public started to understand the sometimes brutal reality of the “orca gold rush.” “The Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972, prohibited the taking of marine mammals in U.S. waters, but SeaWorld continued to receive killer whale capture permits under an educational-display exclusion. In March 1976, Goldsberry pushed his luck and the limits of public opinion. He sighted a group of killer whales in the waters just off Olympia, Washington’s state capital. In full view of boaters – and just as the state legislature was meeting to consider creating a Puget Sound killer whale sanctuary – he used seal bombs and boats to chase six orcas into his nets at Budd Inlet. Ralph Munro, an aide to Governor Dan Evans, was out on a small sailboat that day and remembers the sight. ‘It was gruesome as they closed the net. You could hear the whales screaming,’ Munro recalls. ‘Goldsberry kept dropping explosives to drive the whales back into the net.’ The State of Washington filed a lawsuit, contending that Goldsberry and SeaWorld had violated permits that required humane capture, and as the heat and publicity built, SeaWorld agreed to release the Budd Inlet killer whales and to stop taking orcas from Washington waters. With the Puget Sound hunting grounds closing, Goldsberry flew around the world looking for other good capture sites. He settled on Iceland, where killer whales were plentiful. By October 1976, SeaWorld’s first Icelandic orca had been captured.” When Godsberry and SeaWorld finally parted ways, SeaWorld gave him $100,000 to keep his mouth shut for two years about the business he did with them. Goldsberry gladly took it. When Zimmermann caught up with Goldsberry in 2010, here’s what Goldsburg, now 82, in failing health with an oxygen tube clipped to his nose, had to say, “‘We showed the world that killer whales were good animals and all of a sudden people said, hey, leave these animals alone,’ he says, sipping a mug of vodka and ice. ‘I had to make a living…..I would go into SeaWorld and say, I need a quarter of a million or a half-million dollars, and they put it in my suitcase,’ he says with a grin. ‘It was good, catching animals. It was exciting. I was the best in the world. There is no question about it.’’’ As I mentioned, not all of them regretted what they did. Not the best one, which is also the worst one. And those like him are still around. In 1991, SeaWorld bought Tilikum from Sealand. Tilikum is also from Icelandic waters. SeaWorld paid a reported sum of in the neighborhood of one million dollars to purchase Tilikum. However, SeaWorld was faced with a dilemma. Should they allow trainers in the water with him and teach him to perform with them? SeaWorld was, and is, the Cadillac of marine parks. They certainly had mastered sophisticated training methods with plenty of variations in exercises and rewards. The goal was to avoid the whales being over stimulated by something new, as they had been with Keltie Bryne. Tilikum had a hard act to follow. Shamu had been with trainers performing with her. Tilikum was also the best candidate for the job. But Tilikum had been involved with a death of a trainer in the pool with him. Thad Lacinak was vice president and corporate curator when Tilikum arrived at SeaWorld. He believes that had Tilikum been trained properly, Keltie Bryne’s tragic death would not have happened. I disagree with Lacinak.Of course it would have happened and would happen again and again. If you are looking at the situation honestly, no one would agree with Lacinak’s opinion. But anything is easy to say when you are looking through a massive corporate lens that magnifies the profits and diminishes the risks. It’s an old story in any business. There are no guarantees when working with wild animals. That’s what they say. Oddly enough, as much as these trainers and curators knew about whales, no one ever mentioned that it wasn’t because they were wild animals that made them unpredictable, it was because they were “captive” wild animals, and management, as well as trainers, had gone far beyond unpredictable. The whole scenario was predictable. These gargantuan mammals were sad, angry and psychotic. They were slowly and desperately going out of their minds. There’s only one reason why no one said anything about this, obviously, toxic and dangerous situation. If anyone had brought the subject up, they would be out of job and probably given money to keep their mouth shut. These parks were making such massive money, one might say that anyone who bust the marine parks’ balloon, might have even been killed. And they were. I believe, and I understand, that those working with these amazing animals truly cared for them. I also understand that the thrill of what they were doing was clouding their judgment regarding their own safety and regarding the fact that what they were doing was wrong, on so many levels. Not only were they putting themselves in danger, they were putting the public’s safety in danger as well. There are those that did get out of the business. Robert Wright closed down Sealand, but what he could have done, should have done, was rehabilitate the whales and other animals he had, to be returned to the wild. I also understand that money is important and Wright made a lot of money by selling those animals to SeaWorld. I wonder if he regretted it looking back. Somehow, I doubt it. Corporate curator of SeaWorld, Lacinak, thought that Tilikum could be trained to perform with trainers in the water, but the fact that he had been involved in a death, management at SeaWorld thought better of it. SeaWorld worked on Talikum performing in the water alone. It was still an exciting show. Just watching him come out of the water was crowd pleasing. The other interesting fact that the public never knew about is that trainers had been getting beaten up by these unhappy whales since training them began, which is not surprising to me. According to Zimmermann, “Since the 1960s, there have been more than 40 documented incidents at marine parks around the world. In 1971, the first Shamu went wild on a bikini-wearing secretary from SeaWorld, who was pulled screaming from the pool. For every incident the public was aware of (the ones that occurred in front of audiences or that put trainers in the hospital), there were many more behind the scenes. John Jett was a trainer at SeaWorld in the 1990s. He left to pursue a Ph.D. in natural-resource management in 1995, having grown disillusioned with the reality of keeping large, intelligent animals in captivity. He says that getting nicked, and sometimes hammered, was just part of the price of living the killer whale dream: SeaWorld says it gives trainers wide latitude and that, ‘The safety of our trainers and animals is paramount. Our trainers are empowered to alter any show or session plan if they have even the slightest concern.’” Zimmermann goes on to say, “In 1987 alone, SeaWorld, San Diego experienced three incidents that hospitalized trainers with everything from fractured vertebrae to a smashed pelvis. Jonathan Smith was one of them. In March, during a show, he was grabbed by two killer whales, who slammed him on the bottom of the 32-foot-deep pool five times before he finally escaped. ‘One more dunk for me and I would have gone out,’ he says. ‘They let me go. If they didn’t want to let me go, it would have been over.’ Smith was left with a ruptured kidney, a lacerated liver, and broken ribs. In response to these serious injuries, as well as other incidents, SeaWorld shook up its management team, pulled trainers from the water, and reassessed its safety protocols. After a number of changes (including making sure that only very experienced trainers worked with killer whales), trainers were allowed back in the pools.” Unbelievable. I get angry every time I read this. My mind, at this point in the writing of this article was beginning to change about so many aspects of this carnage. I don’t believe I would have used the word carnage before researching and knowing what I now know. Let me make that cruel carnage. What they call “safety procedures” are nonexistent. As Jonathan Smith said, “If they didn’t want to let me go, it would have been over.” The whales understand that they are trapped and they understand that the only way they get fed is to placate these useless human beings, jump through hoops and get away with almost killing them as many times as they can. At this point, I have to say, if you knew anything about killer whales, you would have to be crazy to get in the pool with them, especially if you were a trainer and had witnessed these violent injuries taking place. But you should have known something else. You should have known what the hell was going on with these magnificent, intelligent animals and you should have done everything in your power to stop it. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone that did continue to work with orcas in the pool was seriously flawed. In any one of these events that a trainer did not get killed is only because of one aspect of the situation. It is an aspect that the best of the best, even the most brilliant trainer, could never have any control over. That aspect is, the situation will turn out only one way, the way the orcas want it to. As Zimmerminn reported, “In 1999, Tilikum reminded the world that, at least when it came to humans, he could be a very dangerous animal. Early on the morning of July 6, Michael Dougherty, a physical trainer at SeaWorld, arrived at his office near the underwater viewing area of G pool.” He glanced through the viewing glass and saw Tilikum staring back, with what appeared to be two human feet hanging down his side. There was a nude body draped across Tilikum’s back. It wasn’t moving.” Daniel Dukes was the victim. Dukes was recently released from the Indian River County jail for theft. He either sneaked in after hours or stayed after the park had closed and decided to take a swim with Tilikum.” Dukes, like Keltie Bryne before him, had become a brand new toy and Tilikum played with the toy the same way he, Haida and Nootka had played with Bryne. And as with Bryne, the game wasn’t over until Tilikum was bored and the toy had stopped struggling. As Zimmermann reported, “The coroner determined the cause of death to be drowning. There were no cameras or witnesses, so it’s not known if Tilikum held him under or hypothermia did him in. But it’s clear Tilikum worked Dukes over. The coroner found abrasions and contusions – both premortem and postmortem – all over his head and body, and puncture wounds on his left leg. His testicles had been ripped open. Divers had to go to the bottom of the pool to retrieve little pieces of his body. SeaWorld ramped up its security, posting a 24-hour watch at Shamu Stadium. Keltie Byrne had not been an aberration.” Nor would this be the last person killed by Tilikum. Also, unbelievable. Silly, egotistical trainers are expendable. There were plenty of those. And they just keep on coming. It’s the whales they needed to keep around. As reported by Zimmermann, “Despite the modifications, in 2006 another serious incident took place at SeaWorld San Diego, when head trainer Kenneth Peters was attacked by a killer whale called Kasatka. Kasatka grabbed Peters and repeatedly held him below the surface of the pool for up to a minute. He came close to drowning, and Kasatka joined Tilikum and a couple of other unruly SeaWorld orcas on the “no water work” blacklist.” As hard as it is to believe, Tilikum did not stay on that list. It is not that he should be on the list. It is that there shouldn’t be a list. It is that he needed to be set free, as they all did. The longer an orca is held captive the more difficult to set he or she free. At some point it is not possible. If Tilikum wasn’t there yet, he was very close. It is just so unbelievable. An unbelievable nightmare that never seems to end. Zimmermann reports, “Following the Peters incident, OSHA opened an investigation. After digging into the inner workings of SeaWorld’s killer whale shows, OSHA issued a report in 2007 that warned, ‘The contributing factors to the accident, in the simplest of terms, is that swimming with captive orcas is inherently dangerous and if someone hasn’t been killed already, it is only a matter of time before it does happen.’Sea World challenged the report as filled with errors, and OSHA agreed to withdraw it.” Not only was this unbelievable, but had they forgotten that two people had already been killed, with Tilikum being one of the three orcas that killed Keltie Bryne in 1991 and Tilikum, on his own, also killed Daniel Dukes in 1999, and before Dukes there was Jonathan Smith that was hospitalized for a fractured vertebra, smashed pelvis and nearly drowned in 1987, which happened before Kasatka nearly drowned Kenneth Peters and left him with potentially life threatening injuries in 2006 along with the 40 or 50 other incidents that could have easily ended in deaths. Wasn’t any of this brought up?!!! Aren’t these events relevant?!!! Don’t these idiots understand what the hell is happening?!!! When I posted this picture my mind went to the bottom line . Everything became clear to me. None of it was unbelievable. When you put the human hubris into the picture the unbelievable is clearly the inevitable. As Zimmerman reported, “To work closely with a killer whale in a marine park requires experience, intuition, athleticism, and a whole lot of dramatic flair. Few people were better at it than top SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, who, at 40, was blond, vivacious, and literally the poster girl for the marine park in Orlando, Florida, appearing on billboards around the city. She decided she wanted to work with killer whales at the age of nine, during a family trip to SeaWorld, and loved animals so much that as an adult she used to throw birthday parties for her two chocolate Labs. …… Dawn Brancheau was working the Dine with Shamu show, featuring SeaWorld’s largest killer whale, a six-ton, 22-foot male known as “Tili” (short for Tilikum). Dine with Shamu takes place in a faux-rock-lined, 1.6-million-gallon pool that has an open-air café wrapped around one side. The families snacking on the lunch buffet that Wednesday were getting an eyeful. Brancheau bounced around on the deck of the pool, wearing a black-and-white wetsuit that echoed Tilikum’s coloration, as she worked him through a few of the many “behaviors” he had learned during his nearly 27 years as a marine-park denizen. The audience chuckled at the sight of one of the ocean’s top predators performing like a circus animal.” Even circus animals deserve to be treated with more dignity than being “circus animals.” And I can’t be sure, but the fact that Zimmermann described Brancheau, as she “bounced” around the deck of the pool, as being a compliment. I would not use “bouncing around” a stage to describe an intelligent minded person. Nor do I believe that Zimmermann has any love lost on an industry in which he describes the audience as they, “chuckled at the sight of one of the ocean’s top predator performing like a circus animal.” As Zimmermann reported, “The show ended around 1:30 P.M. As the audience started to file out, Brancheau fed Tilikum some herring (he eats up to 200 pounds a day), doused him a few times with a bucket (killer whales love all sorts of stimulation), and moved over to a shallow ledge built into the side of the pool. There, she laid down in a few inches of water, talking to him and stroking him, conducting what’s known as a “relationship session.” Tilikum floated inert in the pool alongside her, his nose almost touching her shoulder. Brancheau was smiling, her long ponytail flaring out behind her. One level down, a group of families gathered before the huge glass windows of the underwater viewing area. A trainer shouted up that they were ready for Tilikum. That was Brancheau’s signal to instruct the orca to dive down and swim directly up to the glass for a custom photo op. It’s an awesome sight when six tons of Tili come gliding out of the blue. But that day, instead of waiting for his cue and behaving the way decades of daily training in captivity had conditioned him to, Tilikum did something unexpected. Jan Topoleski, 32, a trainer who was acting as a safety spotter for Brancheau, told investigators that Tilikum took Brancheau’s drifting hair into his mouth. Brancheau tried to pull it free, but Tilikum yanked her into the pool. In an instant, a classic tableau of a trainer bonding with a marine mammal became a life-threatening emergency. Topoleski hit the pool’s siren. A ‘Signal 500’ was broadcast over the SeaWorld radio net, calling for a water rescue at G pool. Staff raced to the scene. ‘It was scary,’ Dutch tourist Susanne De Wit, 33, told investigators. ‘He was very wild.’ SeaWorld staff slapped the water surface, signaling Tilikum to leave her. The whale ignored the command. Trainers hurried to drop a weighted net into the water to try and separate Tilikum from Brancheau or herd him through two adjoining pools and into a small medical pool that had a lifting floor. There he could be raised out of the water and controlled. Eyewitness accounts and the sheriff’s investigative report make it clear that Brancheau fought hard. She was a strong swimmer, a dedicated workout enthusiast who ran marathons. But she weighed just 123 pounds and was no match for a 12,000-pound killer whale. She managed to break free and swim toward the surface, but Tilikum slammed into her. She tried again. This time he grabbed her. Her water shoes came off and floated to the surface. ‘He started pushing her with his nose like she was a toy,’ said Paula Gillespie, one of the visitors at the underwater window. SeaWorld employees urgently ushered guests away. Tilikum kept dragging Brancheau through the water, shaking her violently. Finally – now holding Brancheau by her arm – he was guided onto the medical lift. The floor was quickly raised. Even now, Tilikum refused to give her up. Trainers were forced to pry his jaws open. When they pulled Brancheau free, part of her arm came off in his mouth. Brancheau’s colleagues carried her to the pool deck and cut her wetsuit away. She had no heartbeat. The paramedics went to work, attaching a defibrillator, but it was obvious she was gone. A sheet was pulled over her body. Every safety protocol that we have failed,’ SeaWorld director of animal training, Kelly Flaherty Clark, told me a month after the incident, her voice still tight with emotion. ‘That’s why we don’t have our friend anymore, and that’s why we are taking a step back.’ Dawn Brancheau’s death was a tragedy for her family and for SeaWorld, which had never lost a trainer before. Letters of sympathy poured in, many with pictures of Brancheau and the grinning kids she’d spent time with after shows. The incident was a shock to Americans accustomed to thinking of Shamu as a lovable national icon, with an extensive line of plush dolls and a relentlessly cheerful Twitter account. The news media went into full frenzy, chasing Brancheau’s family and flying helicopters over Shamu Stadium. Congress piled on with a call for hearings on marine mammals at entertainment parks, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) opened an investigation. It was the most intense national killer whale mania since 1996, when Keiko, the star of Free Willy, was rescued from a shabby marine park in Mexico City in an attempt to return him to the sea. Killer whales have never been known to attack a human in the wild, and everyone wanted to know one thing: Why did Dawn Brancheau die?” I believe that Zimmermann knows the answer to that question. He has dropped several clues along the way, which have not been missed. There’s one just above when he writes, “The incident was a shock to Americans accustomed to thinking of Shamu as a lovable national icon, with an extensive line of plush dolls and a relentlessly cheerful Twitter account. “ You rarely will see the word “cheerful” described as being “relentless” However, I couldn’t have said it better myself. It was one of the biggest, hoodwinking deceptions to ever take place and the whole world believed it. I believed it. I was brought to tears of joy seeing these magnificent animals do these amazing tricks with these oh so very lucky individuals. It was “relentlessly cheerful” because those animals were anything but cheerful. It was relentlessly cheerful because management could not let even a flickering thought of the truth enter the public’s mind. I feel like such a fool that I, animal lover, so much so that I am now a vegan, could be so easily deceived. From the moment I heard about Brancheau’s death I felt nothing for her. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I almost felt guilty about the frigid attitude I had toward her death. I also knew, even though I couldn’t prove it at the time, I knew that even after killing three people, Tilikum was innocent. I feel very sorry for Keltie Bryne’s death. She was the first. I believe she was truly innocent because she was not totally aware of the potential danger she was in. She did not go consciously into the water with killer whales. She slipped. And she died a horrible death. The whales were innocent and so was she. Daniel Dukes was delusional. I don’t believe, as I do with Bryne, that he understood the danger he was putting himself in. With the fallacious facade that SeaWorld had painted of killer whales as over-sized puppies, why would he have been afraid. Tilikum was innocent and so was Dukes. That is not the case with all of those trainers who came on board long after it was well known what these whales were going through. I feel nothing for those that were almost killed and I now know why I felt, and feel even more viscerally, nothing for Brancheau’s death. It is wonderful and sweet that Brancheau gave her chocolate labs birthday parties. However, chocolate labs are about as close to orcas as chocolate candy. Brancheau certainly had the requirements of experience, athleticism and a whole lot of flair, but intuition? That she did not possess. Ego is what replaced intuition, if she ever possessed it at all. Common sense might have saved her as well, of which she demonstrated none. I do not for one minute blame Tilikum for what he did to Dawn Brancheau. I blame Brancheau for what she did to Tilikum. The best thing she could have done for Tilikum and the rest of the whales that were in captivity, was to speak up for the fact that none of them belonged in tanks and none of them should have been performing tricks for a handful of fish. But that was what made Brancheau a star and she would not give that give that up. Her love for orcas was that they made her famous. I will agree that she probably did not think in these terms regarding her life, consciously. The truth is that she was too caught up in her success and fame to employ any common sense or be able to see clearly what was going on. Or perhaps, she simply ignored it. Either way, she is the guilty Was Dawn Brancheau completely ignorant of the misery and historically cruel treatment that these orcas had to endure, ignorant to the fact that she was as guilty as Don Goldsberry, if she even knew who he was? If she wasn’t ignorant of the history of the Tilikum, then her crime is even more egregious. Just as Sea World’s management had been caught up in the billion dollar industry, their common sense and humane dignity, if they had any to begin with, was blinded by profits. Brancheau was the star of the show, she was the one that should have protected those she worked with from further injury. She should have spoken up about the injuries that occurred. However, had she done that she would have to admit to herself that no one, not even her, was safe being in a pool with these animals. She would have understood why no one was safe in a pool with these animals. She would have known, certainly should have known, it was because these animals were suffering and miserable. I have not read any reports about Brancheau being worked over by the whales, but it was a common occurrence, so it probably did happen to her. It may seem far-fetched at first, but Brancheau resembles those that are battered wives. A woman who has been beaten and bloodied so many times, always with an apology afterward, only to be bloodied and beaten again, only worse. Each time it is worse. The number of women, at this minute in an abusive situation that think they are the one that can change their abusive spouse, are in the hundreds of thousands. This is a common human trait. It’s called “denial.” And all of the women that are in denial regarding their abusive relationship are walking into being seriously injured or murdered. The statistics proves this out. You are not the miracle that is going to change him or her. And if you think you are, your ego is bigger than your brain. Although, Dawn Brancheau thought she was, she was not the miracle that could change Tilikum. You cannot bring change to something you do not understand. There is no miracle. There is only the truth, that after three deaths, hundreds of near deaths, suffering of these magnificent animals, paying people to keep their mouths shut and probably paying off huge lawsuits, this entire fiasco is, finally, coming to an end. Brancheau might have loved Tilikum, but she loved herself more. So much so that she did not understand the history of the industry she was working in. And more disturbing is that she ignored the history of Tilikum. Most egregiously, she thought that Tilikum loved her. She was wrong. She was a toy to him, a toy that was his meal ticket and nothing more. All the trainers are nothing more to these imprisoned, intelligent beings, than a hated meal ticket, just as prison wardens are hated, but must be placated if, as a prisoner, you want to be fed. In another story that I read on line it reported, “The stress of captivity also causes Tilikum to exhibit aggression toward humans, which has cost two more lives—those of Daniel P. Dukes in 1999 and Dawn Brancheau in 2010. Tilikum scalped and dismembered Dawn as well as breaking bones throughout her body before drowning her.” In the same story it states, “Dawn Brancheau was one of SeaWorld’s star performers. She was cautious and always abided by the park’s “safety” guidelines when she was around the orcas. When her death was announced, former and current trainers were astonished that she had been the one killed.” I find that statement ironic and very telling. They still refuse to understand. Of course, she was the one to be killed. She was the one that made a fool out of Tilikum each and every day she performed with him. The article also shows Tilikum in the holding tank that he was put in for punishment after her death. As the story reported, “In this aerial view of SeaWorld, you can see how little room the orcas have. Inside the circle is Tilikum, whose nose and tail appear to be able to touch both sides of the tank at the same time.” “Following Dawn’s tragic death, Tilikum was kept in a tiny enclosure that limited his ability to swim, communicate with other orcas, and interact with humans even further. He was reported to have been floating listlessly in the water for hours at a time, a behavior never seen in wild orcas.” Even after her death Brancheau continued to torture Tilikum as he lingered in a holding tank for a year in isolation as punishment for killing her. “After a year in isolation, Tilikum was returned to performing. SeaWorld is appealing its citation for violating a federal workplace safety law meant to protect workers from recognized life-threatening hazards and asking that the government allow humans to swim with orcas despite the risk.” I will thank Dawn Branchaeu for one thing and one thing only, her death has stopped more killer whales from be incarcerated and living a life of torture. And no more, according to Sea World, will be bred in captivity. I believe I answered the question as to why Dawn Branchaeu was killed. She did not die. She was intentionally murdered by Tilikum and he had every right to do it. Before reading the astounding article, “Killer in the Pool,” written by Tim Zimmermann for Outside magazine, I knew that Tilkum was aware of what he was doing when he took the lives of three people. I also knew that he was slowly and disturbingly going out of his mind. I also realized we have reached the point that keeping these animals captive is no longer acceptable on so many levels. It never should have been acceptable, just as slavery should have never been acceptable. But humans can always find a way to justify anything. After reading the article it confirmed that I was right on all counts, as I’m sure so many individuals thought as I did. You must read Zimmermann’s articles to fully understand why this cruel practice must stop. And it is coming to a halt. The history of this industry, and the personalities of those that started it, will astonish and anger you. If you say you love animals you will break down and cry throughout the article. If you read nothing more than the last three paragraphs that Zimmermann wrote in the article entitled, “Killer in the Pool,” it will bring everything that has transpired in the last 56 years in the marine park industry into crystal clear focus. Those three paragraphs will bring the whole story of capturing orcas to a crescendo that is as deep in meaning as the ocean’s depth in the Mariana Trench. It will make you weep for Tilikum and all others that have suffered, and are suffering, as he has. Here are the last three paragraphs of Zimmermann’s amazing article: “Whether or not Tilikum ever performs again, he’s still SeaWorld’s most prolific breeder. He’s sired 13 (21 now), viable calves, with two more on the way this summer. Most likely, he will finish his life as he’s mostly lived it, in a marine park. He’s nearly 30 (now 36), and only one male in captivity, who is still alive, is known to have lived past that age. Three thousand miles away, Balcomb often sees a pod of killer whales easing their way through the wilderness of water that is his Haro Strait backyard. They swim with purpose and coordination, huffing spumes of mist into the salty, spruce-scented air. The group is known as L Pod, and one, a big male designated L78, was born just a few years after Tilikum. Balcomb has been tracking L78 for more than two decades. He knows that his mother – born around 1960 – and his brother are always close by. He knows that L78 ranges as far south as California with his pod, in search of salmon. Milan Boers | CC by 2.0 Tilikum has a collapsed dorsal fin, a sign of an unhealthy and stressed orca. Many orcas in captivity (but few in the wild) have collapsed fins. L78’s dorsal fin stands proud and straight as a knife, with none of Tilikum’s marine-park flop. He hunts when he’s hungry, mates with the females who offer themselves, and whistles to the extended family that is always nearby. He cares nothing for humans and is all but oblivious to their presence when they paddle out in kayaks to marvel as he swims. He knows nothing of the life of Tilikum or the artificial world humans have manufactured for him. But Tilikum, before 26,(now 34), years in marine parks, once knew L78’s life, once knew what it was like to swim the ocean alongside his mother and family. And perhaps, just perhaps, that also helps explain why Dawn Brancheau died.” I cannot keep from crying every time I read those beautifully crafted last three paragraphs. I think Tim Zimmermann and I are on the same page, a page that ends one of the saddest true stories ever to told. After reading Zimmermann’s article, written in 2010, I had to find out where Tilikum is now. Zimmermann has been dreading the day that he would write about the death of this majestic icon that has lived such a tortured life. He is still at Sea World, but he is dying. I can’t stop crying every time I realize that he is dying. In Zimmermann’s most recent article “Tilikum, Sea World’s Killer Orca, is Dying,” he states, “His health is deteriorating due to a drug-resistant bacterial lung infection.” It is especially sad to see an animal that has suffered all his life pass away, never again to go back to his home and his family. But Tilikum will not be forgotten, nor the lives that he took in his unending loneliness and unrest. The harsh reality is that it was not him that took those lives. It was the greed and exploitation of a wild animal’s life by those that knew what was happening and refused to admit it. It was the hubris of humans that took Tilikum’s life and the lives of all orcas that have been forced to live in captivity. Like so many others, I paid the admission to see him and other animals like him. However, the last time I went to a marine park I was in the Bahamas at the Atlantis theme park. It was about 10 years ago. It was the second time that I “swam with the dolphins.” The trainer told us that these dolphins were actually swept out to sea by a hurricane and had to be rounded up and brought back. As he introduced the dolphins he told us that one of the females was a bit moody, which made me a bit uneasy. We were given hand held propellers that would propel us down and around under water. I’m a pretty good swimmer and I asked if I could go without the propeller. The trainer said that would be fine. As I was swimming under water I felt my hand hit something hard and sharp behind me and over my head as I swam. When I turned around I could see it that I hit the tooth of a dolphin, whose mouth was agape as wide as she could open it and she was right above me. I say “she” because I was pretty sure it was the “moody” female. I wasn’t frightened, but it was troubling. I wasn’t sure what to do. I thought maybe she thought I was one of the trainers that didn’t use the propellers and maybe she thought I was going to throw her fish. Ultimately, I decided to tell the trainer. I just didn’t want to see anyone get hurt. At the end of the show they brought into the enclosure what is known as a wholphin or wolphin. A wholphin is an extremely rare hybrid born by mating a female bottle nose dolphin with a false killer whale. A false killer whale shares the same characteristics as a killer whale, but does not belong to the same genus. The theme park said that the mating was not planned, but who knows. This was a female and she was not as big as a killer whale, but about twice the size of a dolphin. We were to lie on our stomachs on a paddle board with our legs straight and off the back of the paddle board with our toes pointed. The wholphin was to come behind us and push us through the water by placing her nose in the underside arches of our feet. Having been around horses all my life, I understood the power of a large animal and I knew that I was putting myself in a vulnerable position. I wasn’t going to back out because I wanted to experience something that not everyone has the chance to experience. But I also knew I would feel better after it was over. The thought of Tilikum consciously killing three people did cross my mind. I thought about the possibility of that day being the day that the wholphin was in a bad mood and of her opening her mouth and chomping down on my legs. The wholphin did what she was trained to do. I felt her come in contact with my feet and when she accelerated, I realized that I really did not understand just how powerful these animals are. As I was heading toward the people that were against the wall of the pool waiting their turn, she pushed me farther than she should of and I smashed into a few people. No one was hurt, but I was really was glad it was over. All in all, it was not a good experience. I loved being with the animals, but I realized that these were highly intelligent wild animals that could consciously kill you. I realized that they had every right to do that. This was not what they were meant to do. If I my legs were injured that day, I would not have blamed it on the wholphin. That was it for me. It was the second and the last time I would ever do that. It just felt wrong. I remembered Dawn Brancheau’s death and the two before her. After riding show jumpers for ten years and galloping race horses for 15 years, I’m not exactly faint of heart, but I knew that whole situation was ripe for someone else getting hurt. I also felt that there was a good chance that people had already been hurt and were probably paid a lot of money not to say anything. I now have proof of that, and I now know that very few people knew about the first two deaths associated with Tilikum. I remember hearing about the second death and with that news I learned about the first. However, at that time I didn’t really know that much about killer whales in captivity. I was in awe of how they performed and how beautiful they are. When after three deaths associated with Tilikum and there was no mention of euthanizing him, I was beginning to understand that it was not his fault, which pushed me to learn the truth. I also knew that no matter what the conditions of the three deaths were, Tilikum was much too valuable to euthanize. Of course he is. He has sired 21 calves, of which 10 are still alive. The money that the park makes, minus the cost of having to catch or purchase one and train a wild orca, is substantial. I am still researching to find where the ten offspring of Tilikum are. I found out through Wikipedia that, Kohana, one of Tilikum’s daughters was born at Sea World, San Diego in on May 3, 2002. She was conceived by artificial insemination. Her mother is Takara. On April 25, 2004, Kahana, and her mother, were moved to Sea World, Orlando. On February 13, 2006, Kahana was moved, with three other orcas, to Loro Parque in Spain. Evidently, SeaWorld still owns Kahana. This is the very scenario, cruelly separating family members, that causes these highly family oriented intelligent animals to suffer mentally, go insane and kill people. Even if they no longer have trainers working in the water with them for safety reasons, what about what it is doing to the whales being held captive? Even if they are born in captivity, it is still wrong. It confuses them. Instinctively, they feel something is wrong. At least 150 orcas have been taken into captivity from the wild since 1961 (including Pascuala and Morgan). In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). SeaWorld holds 23 orcas in its three parks in the United States and owns (at least) a further four at Loro Parque in Spain (ownership of Adan and Morgan not verified). At least forty-five orcas have died at SeaWorld. One of the most infamous capture incidents saw over 80 whales from the Southern Resident population of orcas in Washington State rounded-up at Penn Cove in 1970. Seven were taken into captivity while as many as five whales died. Today this population is recognised as endangered. Only one captured whale, Lolita, is still alive, held at Miami Seaquarium. The longest surviving orca in captivity is Corky, captured in 1969 from the Northern Resident population that inhabits the waters around Vancouver Island, Canada. She is held at SeaWorld in San Diego. None of her seven offspring in captivity have survived. Her family (known as the A5 pod) continue to thrive in the wild, including Corky’s brother, Fife, who you can adopt to help support our work. Unfortunately, after all we know, the lives that have and are still suffering and the lives that have been lost, there are those that still do not understand. Or they understand, but just don’t care. Case in point: Shockingly, Eric Bolling, a popular Fox News Channel host, ended his show a few weeks ago, by saying that it was a sad day in America when meddling animal rights groups can cause an American tradition like Sea World to end their killer whale shows and halt their breeding program. He also said and, “So they do a few tricks and they get a handful of fish. How terrible can it be?” Wow. There’s a line from the movie Shawshank Redemption, where Tim Robins’ character, the wrongfully imprisoned inmate, says to the evil warden, “How can you be so obtuse?” Bolling is also on the Fox Business Network and is a financial analyst. You would think he would know that it is not meddling animal rights activists that caused this cruel and unusual punishment of these majestic animals to end. It is the market that caused this. Tragically, Sea World would have been happy to keep doing business as usual, as they did after the first death and the second death associated with Tilikum. It was after Dawn Brancheau was killed and the movie Blackfish was made, that the world found out everything, and people stopped paying to see what SeaWorld was selling. Their revenue dropped 84%. I recently saw the SeaWorld commercial on television announcing that they are putting an end to their orca breeding program. It is touching and I will admit that when I saw the family of whales, all of which, or most of which, had been born in captivity, I was saddened that something that looked so beautiful and made me, and millions of people, overjoyed at just the sight of them, would not be there in the future. Marine parks will survive and they have done, and will continue to do good for aquatic animals. However, they were forced to change what much of their entire revenue was built on. That is the right thing to do. But don’t think for a minute that management had an epiphany. What they had, was no choice. I also want to mention that riding horses as I did, showing show jumpers and exercising race horses, I have had some pretty severe injuries. I’ve broken several bones, had a pretty bad concussion and have a little scar on my back where the sweetest filly in the world reached around and nipped me as I tightened her girth and I’ve hit the ground hundreds of times. You might say, “This is just part of riding horses. If you ride horses you are bond to get injured.” Yes, that’s true. However, if you are trying to compare working with and training horses with working with and training killer whales, there is no comparison. Almost all injuries that occur with horses are operator errors, meaning that when you fall off, it’s usually the riders’ fault. Not all the time. sometimes accidents happen and you can get seriously hurt. But I know of no time when a horse consciously tried to kill a person. They are domesticated animals, which are not even close to what a wild animal is. Even bucking broncos don’t try to kill the cowboy. They are just doing what they are trained to do, with the help of a cinch that is pulled tight around their flanks. (I don’t like rodeos. In fact I hate them.) I’m sure many of bucking broncos are gentle as lambs if they’re not in the arena. Now, bulls are different. But that’s another story. So, if you ride horses, you do so at your own risk and lots of people do it every day, all their lives and they’re just fine. We fall off and we get back on. If you get in a tank with a killer whale, you are an idiot or suicidal or have an ego that’s the size of Texas. All of which will get you killed. Stay tuned for my new book, Vigil the Hound, a true story of a fox hound that does not want to hunt foxes.

It's lonely in HR. Never fear! Benetech's team of seasoned experts provides the wisdom, technology insights, and healthcare regulatory updates that keep under-staffed and over-tasked HR departments informed, in compliance, and running lean! According to Gallup Poll research, 1 in 6 full or part-time working Americans also serve as a caregiver for a loved one. In most cases caregivers are unpaid, looking after an ailing parent or grandparent. For employers, this can have a significant impact on absenteeism and workforce productivity. A caregiver misses on average 6.6 days or work annually. The annual cost of caregiver absenteeism amounts to more than $25 million. As the baby boomer generation continues to age, even dedicated home care organizations are struggling to keep up with the demand. One local Albany home care provider shared that his growth problem has little to do with demand and everything to do with unavailable talent in the workforce. Nursing home or assisted living centers are cost-prohibitive, leaving families with little option but to take ailing and aging family members into their homes. Selecting the best health plan is no longer about picking the lowest copays and deductible. Sure that is the hope, but those added benefits come with a cost. Depending on your utilization, buying up to a richer plan may give some added peace of mind and cash-flow stability, but ultimately cost more than a plan with a higher deductible, lower premium, and more out-of-pocket expense. When it comes to selecting the best health plan for you and your family, meaning the plan that provides the greatest personal value at the lowest cost and risk, it helps to first quantify your liabilities. Here are six steps to help you assess you and your family's health expense liability and make an informed decision when selecting health coverage. Whether the goal is lowering medical claims, reducing absenteeism, or increasing employee morale, participation will always drive a successful wellness program. Chronic health conditions in the workforce have increased 25% in the last decade. With 86% of the nation’s health care costs going to treatment of chronic conditions (diabetes, cancer, COPD), that’s an expensive figure for employers. Increased chronic health conditions may have a more immediate cost impact to self-insured employers, but everyone is subject to the increased absenteeism, employee fatigue, and productivity loss associated with poor health. Improving workforce health is only accomplished through smarter decisions at the employee level. Here are 3 ways employers can combat chronic conditions by helping employees to make smarter personal health choices. We've outlined the 3 most common mistakes employers make when offering benefits in a quick ebook. Get your copy free when you subscribe to our blog. Who doesn’t want to reduce their healthcare costs? With forecasted 2016 premium hikes across the country ranging from 7%-40%, employers are scrambling for opportunities to avoid, or at best delay, the tidal wave of rising healthcare costs. Some HMOs and health insurance companies have recently been encouraging employers in the 51-100 employee range to renew their coverage early (i.e., in late 2015). That would allow these employers to forestall their ACA-required re-classification as a “small group” by up to 11 months, delaying their move to small group, community rated products -- which are generally not as customizable as, and more expensive than, plans available to 100+ life groups. Before opportunistic employers go changing their coverage’s plan year, there are a few legal concerns to consider. On August 6, the IRS released yet another draft of forms 1095-C and 1094-C to help Applicable Large Employers prepare for the first year of mandatory reporting. For the most part, since the last update in June, there are few changes to report. Specifically, the updated instructions note: Driven by the convergence of ever-improving technology, healthcare cost drivers, consumer preference and provider/patient convenience, telemedicine is booming business. Some readers of this post may have been early adopters. Others may be wondering…Exactly what is telemedicine? How does it work?

Author Posted on September 20, 2017 Categories BrainGoodGames, TumblrLeave a comment on Your Humble Developer is On the Board On the suggestion of Kernas on the BrainGoodGames discord I’ve been playing a fan-made pokemon adaptation called Pokemon Reborn Hardcore. Long story short, it’s awesome. The most significant change is that there is a hard level cap on your pokemon (even ones that you have caught yourself) based on the gym badges you have. So before you beat the first gym, the max pokemon level you can have is 20, and the gym leader has a team of 6 level 20 pokemon. This is actually sort of roughly analogous to how my brother and I used to play the pokemon games, with the self-made restriction that each pokemon in your party had to be within one level of every other pokemon. This means you really have to consider type advantages, train up appropriate guys, and not just brute force the whole game with one pokemon. I’m having a blast so far. Turns out pokemon with a couple important rules tweaks is actually super sweet (and it was pretty sweet before).

Gold held on to a small loss from the previous session on Monday, amid expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hike in September and fears of escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. U.S. jobs growth accelerated in August, with wages notching their largest annual increase in nine years, strengthening views the economy was so far weathering the Trump administration’s escalating trade war with China. The stronger-than-expected payrolls data cemented expectations that the U.S. Fed will raise interest rates in September, in what would be its third hike this year. The Federal Reserve should keep raising U.S. interest rates until mid-2019, and only then needs to take a decision on when it ought to stop, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan suggested on Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Friday he was ready to slap tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports into the United States, threatening duties on another $267 billion of goods on top of $200 billion in imports primed for levies in coming days. Central banks will be in focus with the European Central Bank and Bank of England both meeting this week. The ECB is expected to signal it is ready to start tapering bond purchases, but President Draghi is likely to sound cautious after a run of mediocre to softening euro zone data. Hedge funds and money managers increased their bearish stances in COMEX gold and silver contracts to the biggest on record in the holiday-shortened week to Sept. 4, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data showed on Friday London copper was trading steady on Monday morning after it registered its second weekly loss as an intensifying trade war between the United States and top metals consumer China raised concerns over demand. For the week, LME and Shanghai copper are down 1.7 percent. U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to quickly ramp up the trade war with China and has told aides he is ready to impose fresh tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports as soon as a public comment period on the plan ends. China will be forced to retaliate if the United States implements any new tariff measures, China’s commerce ministry warned on Thursday. Road access to MMG Ltd’s Las Bambas copper mine in Peru, which was blocked by protesters last week, has been restored and company logistics are operating normally, the company said late on Wednesday. European customers will avoid deals with Russia’s United Company Rusal, under U.S. sanctions, when the industry meets in Berlin next week to seal 2019 metal supply agreements, three sources familiar with the discussions said. On-warrant stocks of copper available to the market in LMEregistered warehouses rose by 850 tonnes to 147,450 tonnes but are still down from more than 234,000 tonnes in mid-August, signalling a tighter market. Stockpiles in Shanghai Futures Exchange (ShFE) warehouses have fallen to 136,051 tonnes from more than 300,000 tonnes in April. Oil prices rose on Monday as US drilling for new production stalled and as the market eyed tighter conditions once Washington’s sanctions against Iran’s crude exports kick in from November. US energy companies cut two oil rigs last week, bringing the total count to 860, energy services firm Baker Hughes said on Friday. The US rig count has stagnated since May, after staging a recovery since 2016, which followed a steep slump the previous year amid plummeting crude prices. Outside the United States, new US sanctions against Iran’s crude exports from November were helping push up prices. Several major Iran customers like India, Japan and South Korea were already cutting back on Iran crude. While Washington exerts pressure on other countries to fall into line and also cut imports from Iran, it is also urging other major producers to raise their output in order not to create too strong a price spike. US Energy Secretary Rick Perry will meet counterparts from Saudi Arabia and Russia on Monday and Thursday, respectively, as the Trump administration seeks the world’s biggest exporter and producer to keep output up. One key question going forward is how demand develops amid the trade dispute between the United States and China, as well as general emerging market weakness.

The vacant Miller Valley Elementary School property is about to undergo the initial throes of a complete transformation. Now in the hands of a for-profit real estate investment, development and management company, the 6.7-acre parcel will no longer solely serve as a nurturing environment for children hungry to learn. Rather, it will exist to make money through goods and services. After a yearlong negotiation, the Prescott Unified School District (PUSD) successfully sold the property, located at the intersection of Iron Springs and Willow Creek roads in Prescott, to Ironline Partners for $3.8 million. There’s no question why Ironline, a company based in Phoenix, found the property attractive and decided to buy it. Its location is highly visible; it’s in close proximity to valuable assets in the community, such as Yavapai Regional Medical Center West, Prescott High School, and several major shopping centers; and it occupies a corner of the busiest intersection in the Prescott area. “That intersection, according to the recent traffic studies from the City of Prescott, is now the No. 1 traffic intersection in the whole trade area,” said Donald Teel of Commercial Properties Northern Arizona, which brokered the deal between PUSD and Ironline. “It’s almost 70,000 vehicles a day going through there.” With that in mind, Ironline is planning a major demolition of the school so it can start a fresh development that will cater to that already flush consumer pool. “We expect to remove most of the improvements on site relatively soon,” said Tim O’Neil, president of Ironline Partners. “Special consideration will be given to environmentally sensitive materials, historic elements and mature trees,” O’Neil said. “There’s lots of stuff we’d like to use in some capacity.” What needs to be done before specifics can be determined is an environmental cleanup, he said. This will help determine what is safe to salvage and what is better sending to the dump. “The major concern is asbestos,” O’Neil said. “It’s all very manageable, it just takes some surgical work to get it all remediated correctly.” What stays is also dependent on the determined use for the property, which O’Neil said is still being discussed as well. “We believe there is demand in this submarket for neighborhood retail, boutique office and professional services, and multi-family residential,” O’Neil said. “We still have a ton of outreach to do before that’s decided. If you asked me ‘what’s your best guess,’ I’d say there’d be primarily retail on the frontage with some lower to medium density residential in the back.” Their hope is to break ground on infrastructure and perhaps even have vertical development started by the end of 2018. Though it will require a considerable amount of construction work, O’Neil does not foresee the development disrupting the flow of traffic on the surrounding roads. “We believe on that property, there’s enough open space that we can stage the work very intelligently with very little impact on that core intersection,” he said. The Daily Courier previously reported that the former Hastings property across the street is slated to become a Circle K market; however, its building too is slated to be demolished. Directed by Anthony D Souza, the movie has all the ingredients of a commercial potboiler. The film has an interesting supporting cast that includes actors like Danny, Mithun Chakraborthy and TV star Ronit Roy. Adding Oomph to ensemble is that Aditi Rao Hydri has gone for a complete transformation in the film. The actress will be seen as a sizzling bikini bombshell. Industry insiders have already started calling the movie a sure shot blockbuster, because of the ultimate combination of action, comedy, and music that the movie promises with the trailer. 'Boss' is scheduled to release on 16th October 2013.

The prices of meals at Freshly are quite similar to what we are used to with this kind of service. You may be happy to hear that shipping is free with all plans, so you end up paying only for what you eat. One of the major downsides of Freshly is that their shipping range is quite limited. At the moment, they only deliver to 27 states: However, it does not cover all areas even in the states mentioned above, so you better use the zip code checker to see if it can deliver to you. Nonetheless, considering it has managed to double the number of states it delivers to in such a short time, we have no doubt it will expand the list of delivery areas quite soon. To make sure Freshly meets all your standards and expectations, it is important to know its biggest advantages and disadvantages. With a short overview of its pros and cons, you can easily decide if Freshly is the right meal delivery service for you. Freshly provides its happy customers with finger-licking chef-prepared meals that can suit virtually any taste. With this meal delivery service, you can enjoy restaurant-grade dishes in the comfort of your own home without breaking the bank. Take a look at our curated selection of Freshly meals to get a glimpse of the delights that await you on its menu. The basic philosophy behind Freshly is that healthy means high in protein, low in simple carbs and sugars, and high in healthy fats. Step 1.

Happiness is all that we seek in life. Yet, it remains transient and elusive. Learn how to lead a happier life. Have you ever got angry on your child? Have you ever feared losing your job or your client? Have you ever felt jealous of your neighbors car ? Have you ever reacted on some other parent scolding your child? Have you ever felt that your boss always underestimates your performance? Remember that all our negative emotions (anger, hurt, jealousy, rejection....) stem from one core negative emotion, and we can overcome all these negative emotions, with the right knowledge. Read on... If a community member of a village has been killed for marrying outside her caste or outside her village in the name of self respect, understand that it is Ego at play. When you shout back at someone who hits your car, remember that it is your Ego at work. When a lower grade clerk ignores the boss and does not salute him, and the boss does not like it, it is Ego at work yet again. Ego is one single emotion that can be the difference between "living your life" and just scraping through it. Let us understand how it works, and then work upon ourselves to conquer it. Let us assume that i buy a new mobile phone. Since it is new, i get 'attached' to it, and this is equally relevant for any new gadget or device. It is as good as physical attachment to any other body part. If my hand (which is physically attached to my body) gets scratched, i will feel the physical pain, isn't it? Similarly, if there is a scratch on my mobile or it falls down, i get hurt emotionally. If someone praises my mobile, i feel good about my decision. That's how deeply we get attached to things around us. Attachment, is essentially, considering the external object to be a part of "us". I completely understand that my mobile will NOT always remain unscratched or would fall down some day. It is also a fact that one day, this mobile would no longer would be relevant technologically, and no one is going to appreciate me for possessing this device after some time. All these are known facts to me, but i still go ahead and possess the new phone with the sub conscious assumption that it will not get scratched or will not fall. Making any such false alternative assumption is what is termed as a "wrong image". That you are a "Director" of a company is a wrong image of yourself. This is an acquired role in your job or business. This is not you. You will lose this role one day. That you are this "body" is a wrong image. This is acquired by you in this birth, but this is not you. You will leave it here. That you are a father, mother, brother, sister, fiance - are all wrong images. These are all roles acquired by you and this is not you. You will lose all these roles and relationships one day. That you are Manoj, Rohit, Shyam, Venkat, Amit, Joseph, Stephen, Anjali, Kavita - these are all acquired names but this is not you - a wrong image once again. You will lose this name one day. In our day to day lives, we start feeling that we are the Director, this body, father, mother, Manoj, Anjali etc.... If a clerk ignores the "Director", the Director does not feel nice about it. (our attachment to the role of Director). I may loose self confidence on myself when many people say i am ugly. I may be jealous of people who are good looking. My entire life can go in all these negative emotions just because of one wrong image of myself and that is the wrong image of "Who am I", and then getting attached to that wrong image of myself (Ego). Look at your life, you got this body, got a family, got money, got a position - it is all meant to be used and enjoyed - rather than living in the fear of losing them at some stage, knowing the fact that we will definitely lose it one day. Just because of our attachment to this wrong image, we devoid ourselves of using them and enjoying them. Enjoy it , live it, use it, till you have it. You will definitely lose all these acquired things one day. You can live in the fear of losing money, position, job, family member, your body, and your entire journey of life would be fearful. In the end, you will anyway lose it, but your attachment (and therefore the fear) does not allow you to enjoy it while you have it with you. So, go on - you beautiful soul - it is assured that you can never die - you have all these beautiful possessions - live them, enjoy them - till you have them. It does not matter how much you have, what matters is what you do with what you have. Like me, you must have heard this umpteen times... Many times in life , we are afraid of taking a decision for the fear of taking a wrong one. But here is the fact. No decision is right o... It is my life's mission to elevate my society, in whatever ways i can. Each of my books should help you elevate your own life. I am ready to mentor you in your journey. No charges, No constraints. It is a mission of my life. Connect with me and we would walk this journey together.

Halogenerators have become a very popular complementary medicine tool in recent years. As a way of effectively delivering dry salt therapy, they have been installed up and down the country as an alternative form of medicine and a general relaxation tool for adults and children alike. Put simply; a halogenerator can transform a suitable space into a salt chamber that can be used to relax in and as a complementary therapy for some illnesses. This can be a space for adults to relax in or for children the space can be made more exciting, so they are enjoying themselves whilst their wellbeing is being aided. Halotherapy involves salt being ground up into microscopic particles, which are then dispersed into the room. By means of effective ventilation and suitable air circulation, these particles of salt can then be inhaled normally, providing salt therapy for visitors. A halogenerator is a vital component of a salt room, and so it needs to be considered with care and, if necessary, with professional advice. For instance, hotels and spas across America are seeing the benefits of installing salt rooms in their premises but don’t know where to start. It’s important that the halotherapy you’re offering your customers is safe and built from reputable materials with equipment that will last. As with all equipment, halogenerators can be produced with care or they can be developed merely to make money. This is why you need to choose a company that is committed to providing quality salt therapy rooms and installations every time. By choosing a reputable company such as Salt Chalet for your salt room provider, you can be assured that you’re getting the best possible equipment. Our halogenerators are manufactured especially for you, giving us the confidence to say that they are amongst the best on the market. Visit http://saltchalet.com to find out more.

If this video had been released today, it would be part of some bizarre "media strategy" to build up advance word about a new Bjork record. But it's not. It's from 1994, when the only reason for a pop star to sit down and describe how a television set works was because the video was going to be used on an actual programme on an actual television station - and in those days there were only seven television stations in the enitre world (subs please check). Can you imagine one of today's pop stars understanding the inner workings of a television? Does Aston out of JLS know the difference between 1080p and 720i on his HD flat screen? Can Dappy from N'Dubz make the subtitles work when he's watching Holby City or Dispatches? Have John and Edward established to their own satisfaction that televisions are not the same as magic mirrors?

Not only does it taste great, but it’s quick, easy and the densely packed nutrients this drink contains will keep you going much longer than a caffeine fix. Kid friendly, mother approved! If you have a crappy blender like I do, you’ll want to blend the kale and water together first until smooth(ish!). Add the remaining ingredients and blend well. Using frozen blueberries will help reduce the foam created by the kale and will also give a more “milk shake” like texture. Using slightly frozen kale will also produce a much smoother texture…perfect for beginners! If you have a high powered blender like a vitamix or blendtec, just add all ingredients as listed and blend away! Feel free to experiment with other kinds of fruits and dark leafy greens, as well as adding things like ground flax seeds, spirulina, chlorella or a high quality fish oil. Balance is key in all aspects of our lives 😂 https://t.co/wZxA33O9u9 11:42:18 PM October 10, 2018 from Facebook

Skateboarding was crazy in July. With so much going on it's been impossible to keep up. Boston has never seen so much action in such a small amount of time. First Manny Mania and then Dew Tour bringing the spotlight to Boston. New England's own Dave Bachinsky held his own came into the semi-finals in 7th and ended up 13th overall in street. Another hometown hero Andy McDonald came in 3rd in vert. After the Dew Tour, ES rolled through town on the Game of Skate tour where Eric Martinac won himself a trip to Cali for the finals. New England wasn't the only hot spot though, the Zoo York crew brought some heat up to Canada for the Am Getting Paid contest where New England was still well represented thanks to Manny Santiago who ended up taking 2nd and took home $2000.00. Congratulations Manny! California of course has always been a hotbed for skating and all eyes were on Costa Masa July 10-12 for the Maloof Money Cup. A much less hyped contest but I think more fun to watch was the Converse Coastal Carnage. Now X Games 15 is going on and they one-uped the the Coastal Carnage set up by adding concrete, pool coping and a crazy line over the cradle. Starting up your own venture has become quite the rage these days. Especially, here in IIT Kharagpur, with every passing batch, more and more people are getting ready to take the leap. So in order to inspire all the aspiring entrepreneurs in campus and beyond, we decided to talk to the guy from Kharagpur with the million dollar startup. We are talking about none other than Amritanshu Anand, co-founder of Betaglide, a powerful, reliable and easy to use tool to assist mobile application developers and testers to test their app over the cloud using real devices and real testers/users. Luckily for us, Amritanshu was in campus for the past few days, and in this candid chat, he shares with us his saga of building this company from its foundations. Q:What motivated you to become an entrepreneur in a place like IIT, where the current trend is being absorbed into high profile jobs? A: Although I had always wanted to be an entrepreneur, my ambitions got strengthened in IIT. I met a few alumni who were already entrepreneurs at one of the convocations, and was pretty impressed. I made up my mind that I would become an entrepreneur. However my scheme was cut short by the fact that I didn’t have much of an idea about starting up. So I joined the Entrepreneurship Cell of IIT Kharagpur, and received a lot of guidance from the other members. A: In my first 2 years at IIT, I dabbled in managing events and innovating, but it wasn’t very fruitful. In the third year, I noticed a problem plaguing all app developers, that their apps weren’t being tested in a real world scenario. This led to the inception of Crowdbeans, where we had a set of testers in our campus, checking apps for bugs and other performance issues. Following this we would send our feedback to the app developers. However, after some time, we felt that this process was highly unprofessional, so my co-founder Anshul (Shingle) and I developed a cloud based app testing platform called Betaglide, with its USP being device fragmentation. We entered TATA FirstDot.in, a startup competition and we came in the Top 20. This gave us the confidence to move on. After that we competed in MIT GSL (Global Startup Labs) and we won it. This enhanced our confidence by leaps and bounds. Several investors at NASSCOM 10000 and Little iLabs liked our idea and we were invited by T-Labs to come to Bangalore, to work on our startup full-time. Later this year, in the Rice Business Plan Competition we won the Mercury Tech Fund Investment prize worth 1 million USD. Q: We all know that starting up is not easy. What were the obstacles you faced in this inspiring journey of yours? A: Well, in a place like IIT, in my opinion, there is always a lot of pressure on you to perform. When I first took the plunge, there was academic stress and peer pressure on me. Also when T-Labs called me to Bangalore, I was in a dilemma for a long period of time, because I knew there was no coming back to the same old life at Kharagpur. I was also a placement coordinator, and with my resume, I could have landed a fairly plush job at a consulting or financial firm. I faced a little antagonism at first, but my parents were pretty cool about it later. In the initial stages another major problem was the lack of funds and this was pretty discouraging. The attitude towards student startups in India is always condescending. Investors feel that a student startup will last only for their college tenure and hence they are hesitant to invest in it. This is what we endeavour to change with our venture. Another low was when a competitor of ours launched the same product we had been working on for 5 months. Suddenly, we were back to square one, and completely disheartened. But we had the persistence and determination to move on. A: There’s a lot of fun incorporated with work while working in a startup. We have an immense amount of freedom to work and innovate, in contrast to a 9 to 5 job. Sometimes I go to the office at 4pm and we work till 3 in the morning. We have no weekdays or weekends, everyday’s just the same. However with our growing family of employees, we have disciplined ourselves much more, and that is showing in our work. Another great aspect of working in a startup is the amount of travel. One day I’m on business in Bangalore, and the next I’m sunbathing in Goa. But all the time, wherever I go, my mind is fixated on my goal and how to accomplish my targets. The most satisfying thing in being an entrepreneur is not the money, its the fact that your company is creating jobs and value. A: IIT Kharagpur has always played a crucial role in my startup and this whole voyage has been of paramount importance to me. I would sincerely like to thank the director, Dr. P.P. Chakraborty and the professors here who have never failed to assist me in any way. They allowed me to drop out of college to pursue my dreams. Also, another vote of thanks goes to the IIT alumni network, who have helped me beyond my expectations, in terms of guidance, networking and even funding. The Entrepreneurship Cell helped me come into contact with several like minded people which enhanced my idea and develop it into its full fledged form. After our initiative, IIT Kharagpur has introduced the credit system, wherein students can finish their course in 3 and a half years. It feels good to see that we had a role to play in this regard. Q: You have been to the USA and seen the startup culture there. How different is it from the startup ecosystem here? A: The USA is a frontrunner in startup culture, especially in tech-startups where there is a lot of competition and innovation. Any global product has to be in Silicon Valley. In fact, whatever technology is released in America, takes at least three months to reach India, because over there everyone is using cutting edge technology. Also another advantage in the US is that it is much easier to raise funds there, because normally, US investors take your idea into consideration instead of other factors like work experience, revenue generation and returns. A: We have been playing in major markets in the USA and India. In the near future, we would like to expand to Europe and Southeast Asia. Also, we have set ourselves an achievable target of reaching out to nearly 20,000 app developers. As for long term aims, we want to expand our domain in terms of moving on to wearables, automobiles,television and consequentially the Internet of Things (IoT). A: Don’t startup because you think its cool to do it. It seems easy on paper, but trust me, there will be times when you will just want to quit everything and go back to your routine life again. So, do it only if you have the acumen and capability to run a company, the persistence and determination to get up if you fall, and the confidence to fulfill your dreams.

National Examination Board (NEB) has published an urgent notice regarding Grade Increment for the students of Grade 11, having first two initials 74 in the registration number and has appeared as a regular student in the grade 11 examination held on 2074 Ashad Month. Such students who failed to attend examination of one subject or secured less than D+ in one subject are eligible to sit for the grade increment examination. Earlier , National Examination Board (NEB) has published the regular examination results of Grade 11 of the Science, Management, Humanities and Education . EEOC v. Catastrophe Management Solutions: Does prohibiting dreadlocks discriminate against black employees? EEOC v. Catastrophe Management Solutions, No. 14-13482 (11th Cir. Sept. 15, 2016), is an important new decision addressing the bounds of what constitutes intentional race discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In this case, the EEOC argued that CMS intentionally discriminated against Chastity Jones, a black applicant, based on her race by refusing to hire her unless she cut off her dreadlocks, which were prohibited by CMS's race-neutral grooming policy. In numerous decisions over the years, including most recently in Richardson v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. 15-1142 (6th Cir. Sept. 9, 2016), the Sixth Circuit has applied the "honest belief" rule in evaluating whether a defendant intentionally discriminated against a plaintiff in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or another EEO law. Pursuant to the honest belief rule, a plaintiff cannot prevail if the evidence establishes that the employer honestly believed that its asserted reason for taking an action was based in fact, even if it turns out that the employer's belief was mistaken. In Reva, for instance, the court held that the employer's decision to terminate the plaintiff under its coaching policy was protected by the honest belief rule, and therefore, the plaintiff could not prevail on her age discrimination claim. This post examines the Sixth Circuit's application of the honest belief rule and explains why it appears to be inconsistent with fundamental principles of disparate treatment and of burdens of proof. In Carcaño v. McCrory, No. 1:16cv236 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 26, 2016), U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder adopted a novel line of reasoning in concluding that the University of North Carolina would be engaging in unlawful sex discrimination by excluding transgender individuals from single-sex bathrooms consistent with their gender identity. Under Judge Schroeder's reasoning, single-sex bathrooms, even if "separate but equal," presumptively constitute unlawful sex discrimination in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendment Acts of 1972, and therefore, they are only permitted if there is an applicable exception, such as a regulation, allowing for them. Following this reasoning, it would appear that sex-segregated facilities may violate sex discrimination prohibitions under other federal or state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As the Senate weighs whether to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the Supreme Court, his views on civil rights are likely to be ... 例:The medical school's graduates are considered to be the cream of the crop and can get jobs wherever they want to.

Vacation… Good news: burglary is trending downward. According to the FBI, in 2012, there was a 3.7 percent decrease in burglaries since 2011. And preliminary 2013 data indicates that property crimes – burglaries, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft – decreased by 5.4 percent. This is great news, but unfortunately, it’s also a silver lining to a large problem. There are still far too many burglaries occurring in the U.S. — more than 2 million per year. And burglars are consistently finding new ways to steal your belongings. Here’s what they’re up to in 2014. Metal detectors – To quickly get in and out of a victim’s home, burglars are using metal detectors to find where you hide your valuables. Cash for gold – Burglars are carrying cash-for-gold envelopes during their break-ins, allowing them to immediately turn in their stolen goods for profit. This also allows them to quickly get rid of any evidence tying them to the burglary. Marking targets – If a random sticker appears on your door, be weary – it could be a burglar marking your house as a target after surveillance. The sticker could even appear to be from a real company, but keep in mind that companies do not have the right to mark your property without consent. Garage theft – Garages are becoming increasingly popular targets for thieves, as they’re usually less protected and easier to access. They also often contain valuable items – like bikes, tools, boxes of goodies, etc. – and have a door leading to the main part of the house. Apple picking – A term derived from the popularity of the Apple iPhone, burglars are ‘picking’ smartphones from pockets and even straight from the hands of unsuspecting victims. In addition to being an attractive target for burglars, smartphones are involved with another burglary trend. It has to do with how you use them, especially in regards to social media. Seemingly insignificant shares reveal information about your current location. Checking into a restaurant, posting pictures at the beach and a simple tweet about the movie you’re watching might seem harmless, but a burglar will view them as announcements that your home is currently empty – and ripe for the picking. Be careful of oversharing on social media. Find out what you should avoid sharing in this previous blog post. The final – but certainly not the last – burglary trend to watch out for involves smart homes. The technology itself isn’t the problem, but rather it’s the way people are using smart technology. Smart devices need to connect to the internet, so people connect it to their home WiFi network – the same network used for a smartphone, computer and tablet. Unfortunately, most users do not protect their smart devices and as a result, hackers and thieves can hack those devices and gain access to the entire network. Sensitive information – credit cards, bank accounts, social security – are all up for grabs. Fortunately, you can protect yourself by separating your smart devices from your computer and phone by creating different networks, either by yourself or with the help of a computer technician. Burglars are constantly trying to find new ways to break in, but they’re also confounded when it comes to wireless home security systems. There’s simply no better way to protect your home and have peace of mind. The biggest danger that will always remain is peoples love of showing off where they are through social media. Vacation photos, posts, and check-ins just let burglars know that no one is home and they have time to scope it out and strategize how they will get in. But hey, its natural to be excited about time off, just be mindful to keep your home safe. Break-ins are such an unfortunate and stressful event, We see this a lot in our line of work and help our customers beef up the security of their homes. safety and protection of your home and property are very important these days.

I don’t like thinking anymore, and so stopped it. Yes you read it right. I have stopped thinking. There are no similar-sounding verbs to “thinking”, still for those with impaired hearing, or exaggerated disbelief on their faces, I repeat – I STOPPED THINKING!! I know what the Indian philosophy/yoga types reading this stuff are thinking. They are imagining the descendants of Ekta Kapoor, three hundred years from now, making a television serial on me, the saint who stopped thinking – thoughtlessanand baba (the pun is, of course, intended), in which the last episode shows my soul, portrayed as thin yellow glowing gelatin-like ellipse, merging with another much larger yellow glowing gelatin-like ellipse, obviously representing the God’s soul – paramatma. (Disclaimer: ellipses could easily be ellipsoids, depending on the advancements in television technology of the time) But nothing like that has happened – I have no gelatin around me right now, and the last ellipse I saw was Yuvraj Singh’s wagon wheel, digitally representing the Kingston stadium, where India defeated West Indies. Now that you have pained your mind enough deciphering the large comma-studded sentences above, I’m sure some of you might like to stop thinking. And in somewhat similar fashion I stopped thinking. Sorry to disappoint the glowing-gelatin-ellipse-lovers. However, the thoughtlessanand baba has economic value. I am sure friends, families, parents of some of you seek or have sought some sort of spiritual support from some sort of spiritual beings. The world needs babas. From management to spirituality you need the babas. And like in spirituality, so in managment, the less the baba thinks the better he/she is. So the world surely needs a thoughtlessanand baba. And for you, I am sure you would be more comfortable with your friends, families, or parents seeking support from a modern baba like me, than the traditional saffron clad ones. See I sold it to you as well. I know you are thinking where does the “economic” part come from. Well the thoughtlessanand baba, like all other babas, wont charge a fee. He’d only help grow the pie. With less thought there is more pie. Now let the Peter Drucker‘s of the world explain that to you. And if you dont like the jargon-filled books, and still need to get the “less thought, more pie” funda – watch the waitress, the movie I mean. For those who still doubts the truthfulness of this post, I am sure this post itslef must convince you that I have stopped thinking 😉 PS: I did consider “Surrealanand Baba” as the branding, but that’s a bit too much disoriented for people seeking spiritual help. Being inconsiderate is something they are anyways expecting. I consider the ancient tradition of knowledge in India, the most profound academic tradition ever. One of the basic characters of this tradition, is the unquestioned belief in The Veda as the ultimate source of knowledge. And so, I naturally tend to attribute the success of the tradition to The Veda. Vedas are not a set of books containing a set of facts. They are a doorway into the vast human capability of knowing beyond what the organs can sense and the mind can think. They are a method that gives humans the great capability to act beyond ones physical limitations, to fulfill ones desire, to overcome what is destined. They are a song capable of evoking those human emotions which open the doors to bliss. Thus, they validate the divinity of humans, and proclaim the supremacy of human endeavor over any other force in nature. They are an inquiry into the nature of truth itself. They are like a finger pointing towards something that can be perceived but not said. They are a necklace of pearls of wisdom, knitted together by an invisible thread. If you perceive the invisible thread, you know that it is a necklace. If you don’t, they sound to you absurd pieces of poetry somehow put together. This is the same invisible thread which connects two human beings, which enable one human being to empathize with another human being. Therefor, it states emphatically “एकम् सत् विप्रा: बहुधा वदन्ति” … the truth is one, wise men say it differently. Therefore, it welcomes with open arms, everything good coming from any direction… “आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः”. And, the Sukta, which I like the most in The Veda, is the नासदीय सूक्त, the creation hymn (Mantra 129, Mandala 10, Rigveda): This is best recital I could get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyrXdEi8i_I&feature=player_embedded (Though there’s not so good pronunciation, and pretty superficial translation). I’d post a better recital if I found one. And, if you have patience you can look for the 129 Sukta of the 10th Mandal in the entire of the Rig Veda here: http://www.astrojyoti.com/rigvedamp3part1.htm. Posting Ghalib after quite sometime today. It is a quite well known ghazal, and represents a state of mind which I relate to quite often. Especially after meeting a few people. 🙂 [निहाँ == indistinguishable] [गर्द == sand] [सहरा == the desert ] [The line means, that I seem to be living for so long that the sand of the desert is getting created in front of me] [ज़बीं == forhead] [ख़ाक == soil] [Again, the line signifies that I seem to have been alive to see the river erode the soil in front of me] [ईमाँ == integrity, truthfulness, religion] [कुफ़्र == irreligiousness, lure of the material gains] [क़ाबा == kaaba] [क़लीसा == technically is a Church, but used here to signify place where कुफ़्र happens] Many Indian and Pakistani singers have beautiful renditions of the gazal. One of the more famous ones is by Jagjit Singh from the serial Mirza Ghalib. Here’s the clip on youtube: Okay, so back to Vick Vaporub. You rub it on your chest, your neck, around your nose, may be if you mistook it for Zandu balm, then on your head. You do it when you are sick. It makes you feel better. And it makes you better by evaporating itself, when it leaves your skin. Life is something that you rub on yourself superficially. Haven’t you heard people (especially brown-haired, satin-skinned, beaming-eyed woman) telling fat nerdy bearded geeks – “You’re sick, Get a Life!!”. So typically those geeks would try and get a life… by rubbing it superficially… they’ll go and swim, play a game of pool, or watch a movie, or chase girls, play guitar, sketch, paint, flirt, write, drink, drive, act, debate, code, design, orkut (v), discuss etc… Drinking following driving in the above line is purely incidental. (To be legally safe, the author does not take any responsibility for the urges emanating in the readers mind) 😀 So yes, it seems they got some life rubbed on themselves. But they still feel sick. Because, life, like Vicks Vaporub, makes you feel better only when it leaves your superficial skin. When it evaporates. Because, it has to get in to you, to be able to treat you, to be able make you feel less sick. And it can get in you only when it evaporates, only when it enters your lungs through your nose. It opens up what is clogged inside. That something, which is preventing you from breathing freely. That something, which is making the head heavy. It enters you, settles down and you start breathing freely. Life is also like that. There is nothing intrinsic about those get-a-life-actions that will give you a life. Let it be, putting some colors on a canvas, or some charcoal on paper, or letting the visuals of a movie reach your eyes, or letting your body float on a swimming pool, or writing poetry for a woman, or putting your leg hard on the accelerator while driving on an empty highway. There are no measurable units of life in any of those acts. They are just superficial rubbings. You have to let it evaporate, let it leave your body, and enter you on its own. But you still have to start by rubbing it in, and have faith that it will get inside you on it self. And remember that it would not get in, if you don’t rub it, to start with. You have to make the effort and let it go, and have faith that it will enter you … relief will follow 🙂 So, life, like Vick Vaporub, being volatile, will leave your skin and go onwards and upwards, and finally get inside you. 🙂 So, what’s the conclusion of the metaphor? It is not new. Somewhere in the planes of Haryana, some 5,110 years ago, a saarathi told a dhanurdhar – “Do your job well” 🙂 A student went to his meditation teacher and said, “My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I’m constantly falling asleep. It’s just horrible!” A week later, the student came back to his teacher. “My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It’s just wonderful!’ Someone found my previous post about ‘some page’ absurd, abuse of blogging, murder of humor and ‘useless’. I was thrilled, excited, and felt an immense feeling of achievement. 😀 That someone, is a nice and close friend, and well, is quite dumb. Usually it is hard to find intelligent people who are nice and close. So, I guess it is quite nice to be dumb, as long as you are nice. 🙂 And finding that post (and my blog in general) useless, is one of the lesser dumb things demonstrated by this friend. In fact, it is a pretty worthwhile observation that my blog is useless. Being useless, is probably, the highest form of existence one can think about. I know that people would not quite appreciate finding philosophical imports on a useless blog, of course, except those who find philosophy useless. 😀 So, I decided to quote someone else. And this quote is about someone who never liked to be quoted – Lao Tzu. So, here’s something indicating his views about being useless: Lao Tzu was traveling with his disciples and they came to a forest where hundreds of woodcutters were cutting the trees. The whole forest had been cut except for one big tree with thousands of branches. It was so big that 10,000 persons could sit in its shade. Lao Tzu asked his disciples to go and inquire why this tree had not been cut. They went and asked the woodcutter and they said, “This tree is absolutely useless. You cannot make anything out of it because every branch has so many knots in it – nothing is straight. You cannot use it as fuel because the smoke is dangerous to the eyes. This tree is absolutely useless, that’s why we haven’t cut it.” The disciples came back and told Lao Tzu. He laughed said, “Be like this tree. If you are useful you will be cut and you will become furniture in somebody’s house. If you are beautiful you will be sold in the market, you will become a commodity. Be like this tree, absolutely useless, and then you will grow big and vast and thousands of people will find shade under you.” I thought about it, and realized, that the tree is not useless. It is useful – you can find shade under it. But the point is – it is just not ‘trying’ to be useful. I have posted ‘intesab’ by Faiz Ahmed Faiz earlier. This is another one of his very popular poems. It was written during the rule of General Zia in Pakistan, and has a very distinct revolutionary fervor. It urges everyone who feels dejected of the happenings around him, to come out and get heard, inspite of the odds. And the feel is surprisingly similar to the spirit of Gandhi’s satyagrah, rather than that of call for a violent revolution. For the whole last week, I have been haunted by Nayyara Noor‘s rendition of this song. You can listen to it here. Majaaz, the Keats of India, died alone, off heavy drinking, in a tavern in Lucknow. But he is probably one of the very few ‘progressive’ urdu poets, for whatever it means or whatever is left of it to mean. Best of his works are primarily romantic, with heavy-duty mushiness, like this one: But I’m going to post here a very different kind of his poem, its called Awaaraa. If you concentrate a bit, you might find a second, and sometimes a third, level of meaning out of the lines. Here it is: Poems are like beds. They come in all forms – from extremely pink, furry, mushy and soft to back-painingly rock hard. You can always add cushions to make them better. They can be used as decorative pieces in drawing rooms, without much utility though. And they seem unnecessarily clumsy when used as decorations. They have their own roles to play in love affairs (okay don’t look at me like that… they have nice and legitimate roles to play… you pervert). They can be hollow when they come, and the ‘user’ can put substance into them by his imagination. If you don’t want others to see a broken piece, you always have sheets to cover them. So here’s a poem which I wrote the day before, clad it in a big white sheet yesterday, and I slept over it the yesterday night. Take it: The current of the river swept silently over them all — young and old, rich and poor, good and evil, the current going its own way, knowing only its own crystal self. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last, ‘I am tired of clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom.’ The other creatures laughed and said, ‘Fool! Let go, and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than boredom!’ But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more. And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, ‘See a miracle! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!’ Earlier this month we unveiled GLAD Answers, a reboot of our Legal Info Line, the information and referral service GLAD has run since the organization was founded. After 35 years, it was time to freshen things up a bit. Given that these days many people contact us by email and live chat, the idea of an “Info Line,” which conjures up a telephone in the minds of most, seemed a bit outdated. The name GLAD Answers better encapsulates what this service does: no matter how you get in touch with us, if you’ve got questions we’ve got answers. Personally, I love the clever construction of GLAD Answers. As Carisa Cunningham, our director of public affairs and education is fond of saying, “It’s a noun! It’s a verb!” we’ve added some other new features that will enable us to help more people throughout New England who have questions or concerns about their legal rights as LGBT people : The Power of Perseverance: a Black Gay Man Reflects on the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington Fifty years ago I felt like I was living in two countries, two communities, two neighborhoods; among two distinct races and cultures, but in one class of poverty. I was born in an all- black housing project, but my parents thought opportunities would be better in an all-white housing project so we moved from the South End to Roslindale when I was five years old. My parents, both Pennsylvania transplants, worked as domestics for white families west of Route 128, a secret I held closely because of shame, guilt and pride. The message to this only child was keep your head down, fit in, get along, study hard, go to college, get a good job, marry, have children and you’ll be equal. During those formative years in this predominantly white environment, I felt pretty equal to my peers, attending school, playing sports, and accepting invitations to hang out with friends after school. We were all poor and living on some form of government assistance. Our family moved to Dorchester when I was 16 so I could meet other black kids and experience black culture. My mother was hopeful that I’d date black girls and attend church on a more regular basis. For the first time in my life I felt un-equal. The clothes, shoes, music, cars were not the same as in my old neighborhood, and for the first time in my life class differences and cultural differences were very evident. Neighborhood and racial disparities were reflected in our stores, food choices, streets, and city services that I had taken for granted in my old neighborhood but now understood were absent in my black neighborhood. At the same time, my brothers and sisters south of the Mason-Dixon line not only lived in segregated, marginalized neighborhoods like I did, they suffered under local, state and federal Jim Crow laws that prohibited equal access to housing, employment, education, full citizenship and basic human rights.

Tuesday was a momentous day for unaccompanied homeless LGBTQ and HIV positive youth in Massachusetts. As I finagled my way to a corner of an over-crowded and sweltering room located in the basement of the State House, where over 50 people waited to offer testimony for one of the 15 bills listed, I was pleased to see many familiar faces. Youth workers from Youth on Fire and Boston GLASS waited patiently in the back of the hearing room fanning themselves in an attempt to deal with the almost unbearable heat. Current and formerly homeless LGBTQ youth I’ve worked with at BAGLY or spoken with during my many trips to Boston GLASS slowly began to creep their way through the masses. We were all there for the same reason – to show our support for “An Act Providing Housing and Supportive Services for Unaccompanied Homeless Youth.” “An Act Providing Housing and Supportive Services for Unaccompanied Homeless Youth” is a key step to improving housing and residential stability, reducing the risk of harm and improving educational, physical and mental health outcomes for unaccompanied homeless youth. With recent reports suggesting that up to 40% of unaccompanied homeless youth in the United States identify as LGBT, this bill will particularly benefit unaccompanied homeless LGBTQ youth in Massachusetts. The lack of youth-specific resources in Massachusetts is alarming. As one youth testified, “there is only 1 shower for 16 guests” at Bridge Over Troubled Waters – one of the few youth specific shelters in Massachusetts. Youth, particularly LGBTQ youth, avoid adult shelters due to fear of violence, harassment, and lack competency on LGBTQ issues. As a result, youth opt to sleep on the street and resort to survival crimes, exposing them to increased violence, incarceration, and HIV transmission. Homelessness has also been linked to school drop-out rates. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education estimates that nearly 6,000 high school students are experiencing homelessness and are out on their own. The need for greater resources for LGBTQ youth in the out-of-home care setting as well as stronger anti-bullying laws for LGBTQ students are two of the many priorities for GLAD’s Youth Initiative Project. On May 30, Senior Staff Attorney and leader of GLAD’s Youth Initiative, Vickie Henry, testified in support of “An Act Relative to Bullying in Schools.” The proposed legislation would make much needed improvements to the state’s anti-bullying law by adding important provisions for enumerating protected classes - including LGBTQ students; for tracking and reporting bullying behavior; and for conducting a student school climate survey. Bullying harms academic performance and, sometimes, leads to the ending of a young life. Through GLAD’s extensive outreach in the LGBTQ and HIV positive youth community, we have heard the stories of numerous students who report being bullied because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression. GLAD joins in supporting the passage of “An Act Providing Housing and Support Services for Unaccompanied Homeless Youth” and “An Act Relative to Bullying in Schools.” Both bills will greatly improve the everyday lives our next generation. Yesterday, GLAD attorney Ben Klein testified at the State House in favor of “An Act relative to abusive practices to change sexual orientation and gender identity in minors,” legislation to outlaw so-called “reparative therapy” – the dangerous and discredited practice which purports to change people from gay to straight and transgender to non-transgender – for people under the age of 18. “So-called conversion therapy is a disgraceful chapter in our society’s mistreatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people,” Ben told members of the Joint Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “It’s been proven ineffective, it defies modern medicine, and it inflicts serious psychological harm on young people.” Sponsored by state Rep. Carl Sciortino, an openly gay legislator, the bill prevents healthcare professionals licensed in Massachusetts from using “reparative therapy” techniques on young people. GLAD is among a coalition of LGBT, mental health and child welfare organizations supporting the legislation. It’s not every day you get to stand at the foot of the marble stairs (quarried from Vermont!) of the U.S. Supreme Court on the day a blockbuster decision related to LGBT rights is handed down. But there I was in the sweltering heat at about 8:00 a.m. yesterday, waiting on two decisions. Though rulings in the Windsor DOMA case and the Perry Prop. 8 case were at least two hours from being handed down, the media was already out in full force, with dozing cameramen seated in folding beach chairs, all shaded by umbrellas. The line of folks hoping to get inside for a front row seat to history was already growing. It wasn’t long before I caught up with my colleague Mary Bonauto, who laid so much of the foundation on which the Windsor victory was built, as Justin Peters described so well in this piece on Slate yesterday. As the sun rose higher over the courthouse, we continually moved around in a mostly useless attempt to keep cool. But soon there was nowhere left to move, as the sidewalk by the court was quickly clogged with LGBT people and allies from around the country, singing and chanting and keeping their hopes high. I was surprised there wasn’t a more visible presence of people who oppose LGBT rights. Maybe they were all in a bunker somewhere, bracing themselves for the end of the world. I did glimpse Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage strolling along the edge of the crowd, where no one seemed to notice him. He was still smiling at that point, but I’m guessing his day went a little south after the big news got out. “I hope [the justices] understand how important it is for students to be able to go to school and get an education, have fun, make friends and not have to worry about being bullied by students or the administration and to be accepted for who they are. That’s the most important thing.” - Nicole Maines Not long into yesterday’s Maine Supreme Court arguments in our case Doe v. Clenchy, our client Nicole Maines leaned in a little closer to her mother, bringing her head to rest on Kelly Maines’ shoulder. It’s good to have a supportive and loving parent around when things get tough, and listening to a cadre of lawyers and judges debating the difficult, discriminatory experiences of your life and your rights as a transgender girl can make for a tough day for a 15-year-old. Her dad Wayne and her twin brother Jonas were also by her side at the arguments. The family has stuck together and supported each other through the stress of more than four years of legal proceedings and media attention related to the discrimination Nicole experienced as a 5th grader at her Orono middle school, where administrators rescinded her access to the girls’ restroom after a male classmate followed her into the facility to make trouble. Nicole was forced to use a staff bathroom and separated from the other girls, in violation of Maine’s trans-inclusive non-discrimination law. The reversal forced Wayne and Kelly to withdraw their children from the Orono school system and move to another part of the state so they could attend school quietly and safely. Jonas, Wayne, Nicole and Kelly Maines in D.C. last year. Wayne, Jonas and Nicole were guests at President Obama's annual LGBT Pride reception. Editor’s Note: June 3 is the 8th Annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day, a tradition aimed at showing support for our families in the blogosphere brought to you by Mombian.com, one of our favorite LGBT parenting blogs. We hope you enjoy this post about a loving and courageous family with which GLAD has had the privilege to work. If you think your family is being discriminated against based on a member’s gender identity or sexual orientation, contact GLAD’s Legal InfoLine for help. When we think of LGBT families, we primarily think of those headed by LGBT parents. But really, any family that includes an LGBT person is an LGBT family since so often, that person’s experience as a member of our community impacts their entire family. When these families stand up and share their stories, they help educate the world about our community and serve as powerful examples about the importance of loving and supporting LGBT family members – particularly our youth. I can’t think of a better example than the family behind our case Doe v. Clenchy, which will be heard before Maine’s highest court this month. GLAD is representing a transgender teen girl, identified in court records as “Susan Doe,” whose elementary and middle schools removed her from the girls’ restroom because she is transgender and forced her to use a staff-only restroom in isolation from her peers. Eventually, her parents were forced to withdraw their daughter and her twin brother from the Orono school system and move to another part of the state so they could attend school quietly and safely. Below is a summary of some of the more important rights you need to know. But remember, you can always contact GLAD’s Legal InfoLine with any questions, and you can check out our detailed information for each New England state. Labels: anti-bullying, bullying, discrimination, Employment, GSA, HIV, Legal InfoLine, prom, rights, school, student It’s been fascinating and fun to watch as legislators in Rhode Island, Delaware and Minnesota passed marriage equality bills that their respective governors enthusiastically signed into law in the past few weeks. Things have changed dramatically from 10 years ago, when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in our Goodridge marriage lawsuit pitched Beacon Hill -- along with our usual opponents in the Catholic Church hierarchy and the religious right -- into a state of hysteria. “Opposition set in in about one nano-second,” Mary Bonauto recalled in the documentary film Saving Marriage. That sounds about right. Now that the snow is finally melting and the on again-off again snow flurries have become on-again-off again spring showers, it’s time to start gearing up for GLAD’s Summer Party in Provincetown on Saturday, July 27th. With Kate Clinton confirmed as our celebrity auctioneer extraordinaire - this is definitely an event you don’t want to miss! David Wilson, together with his husband Rob Compton, was a plaintiff in GLAD’s 2003 case Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, which made Massachusetts the first state where same-sex couples could marry. Since that experience, he has committed his time and resources to the movement for LGBT equality, and particularly to working within the movement to increase outreach to people of color, combat institutional racism, and broaden and diversify who is embraced by and feels a part of the LGBT family. And family is what it’s all about for David. He was in Washington D.C. last week for the two days of Supreme Court arguments on marriage equality and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). When we sat down to talk about that experience, however, he started with a different story, about his granddaughter. David was a keynote speaker at the 2013 GLSEN Massachusetts Conference last weekend, and when his granddaughter Ruby, a high school student, learned about the engagement she not only asked to attend but wanted to speak. At the conference, she shared a story about a classmate who came out to her as transgender two years ago and how she immediately jumped into action as an ally, encouraging the student and asking what she could do to help him feel supported at school. She was a key player in helping fellow students understand the transition and ensuring that they use the right pronouns and be respectful of his privacy. Her awareness as an ally, David pointed out, stemmed from her upbringing in a family headed by a gay couple (between them, David and Rob have five adult children from prior marriages, and seven grandchildren) and absorbing the joys and difficulties that LGBT people face through the experiences of her own family. Years and years of LGBT people forming families, he said, has led to entire families – like his and Rob’s – that are standing up to share their stories and join the movement for LGBT equality. David calls this phenomenon “broadening the diversity and inclusion of the team” -- expanding the LGBT family to better represent the diversity of our community and the diversity of our issues. That’s precisely what was on his mind as he attended the Supreme Court arguments in the Windsor case, and when he spoke at a rally on the courthouse steps last week. “I was there [in DC] to figure out how a ‘win’ will impact people on the ground, especially people of color, transgender people, people outside the movement, people who don’t feel the movement is for them,” David explained. “As a plaintiff in the first winning marriage case, I’ve had a lot of privilege. How can I make sure I take the access I’ve had, and translate it to others? I’ve been at the forefront of this fight. What about the people left out or left behind?” His concern for “the people left out” was only heightened when he finally got into the courtroom to hear a portion of the Windsor DOMA argument after a lucky opening happened for the last thirty people who were expected to stay 3 to 5 minutes but actually stayed 15 minutes until the ending statements. Once inside, David found himself thinking, ‘Where’s the diversity in this room?’ To my mind, it wasn’t there. There was certainly diversity among the nine justices but it did not appear to be present in the rest of the room.” It was a marked contrast to the exuberant scene outside the Supreme Court doors, where a throng of LGBT protesters and various supporters of the freedom to marry gathered to make their voices heard. “The rally outside the Court was real,” said David. “The speakers, and the people gathered around were very excited, proud and connected. It was a really diverse crowd.” “But then the people coming down the steps from the Court didn’t reflect the people at the rally,” he added. “And there I was, coming out of the Court feeling so proud but disconnected from the folks gathered at the bottom of the steps of the Supreme Court” Prior to going into the court, David received a warm welcome when he stepped to the microphone at the rally. “I think the organizers and the people gathered were excited to see a man of color, someone with gray hair, someone who has had long range involvement in this movement,” said David. “I felt incredibly welcomed, appreciated and valued.” Once the crowd recognized me as one of the earlier speakers, they were so happy and proud that I had been granted access as one of them. He wants other members of the LGBT family to feel that same embrace, even if they feel the marriage movement doesn’t speak to them. Justice Elena Kagan gave him a way to do that during the DOMA argument when she quoted a passage from the House Judiciary Committee’s report on DOMA, in which the committee concluded that by passing DOMA, “Congress decided to reflect and honor collective moral judgment and to express moral disapproval of homosexuality.” That’s when it dawned on David that a win in Windsor would not just provide married same-sex couples with federal equality in marriage, it could also potentially strike a blow to the many other laws that have been enacted out of moral disapproval of LGBT lives, affecting a much broader swath of our community. “When Justice Kagan read the morality piece I really understood,” said David. “I thought, okay, when I leave this room, leave Washington, what can I do to make this more real? How can I show people that this will impact you, too? How can I translate this to the Black Church, to seniors, to kids of color?" On the heels of two of the most exciting and important days in recent LGBT history – the Supreme Court arguments in the Perry and Windsor cases – our own Mary L. Bonauto gave her expert analysis on the arguments in a conference call with GLAD’s Equal Justice Council late last week. Not surprisingly, we had the most RSVPs we’ve ever had for one of our monthly EJC calls. Before summarizing Mary’s analysis, allow me to kvell for a moment, and point you toward a recent New York Times profile that does a fantastic job detailing Mary’s and GLAD’s historic and strategic contributions to the marriage movement, work that made last week’s Supreme Court showdown possible. She also wound up on Rachel Maddow’s show –– and went head to head with the Family Research Council’s Ken Klukowski on PBS News Hour, among several other media appearances. Now, a few highlights of Mary’s analysis, which was offered with the caveat that she was giving her “tentative impressions” of the arguments and the questions the justices asked, rather than making a prediction about case outcomes. GLAD Public Affairs and Education Intern Adam Connito was in D.C. on March 27 to watch his aunt sworn in before the U.S. Supreme Court, and was able stay for the arguments in Windsor v. United States. He shares his reflections - written in the airport on his return flight to Boston - on witnessing the historic deliberations on behalf of Edie Windsor (pictured above with her late wife Thea Spyer) and tens of thousands of others impacted by DOMA. Airports are a good place to reflect. Something about leaving one place for another – maybe it’s the anticipation of movement, progress, and destination. It’s nice to think about where you were before you get to where you’re going, and I can’t shake the thought of serendipity when I consider that my first trip to D.C. included a visit to the nation’s highest court to hear oral arguments in Windsor v. United States. Inside the Supreme Court on Monday and Tuesday it was all blue suits, “may it please the Court”, legal arguments, and tradition. Outside the court was a very different and yet also very American scene. Wandering around connecting our side’s people with reporters, I was invigorated by the variety of expression and sheer joy of equality supporters. What’s not to love about signs like “If God hates gay people, then why are they so cute?” and “Nature Digs Homosexuality: Scientists for Equal Rights”? In addition to scientists, there were labor unionists, inter-racial (straight) couples, African-American ministers, military members, kids and grandparents, civil rights leaders, people from north, south, east, and west, all supporting equality under the law for gay people. The other side cornered the market in mixed messages: we had the Westboro Baptist Church singing “Another One Bites the Dust” – by Queen; and men in skirts (okay, kilts) in an anti-equality marching band. I ran into our wonderful plaintiffs Melba Abreu and Beatrice Hernandez, as well as Bette Jo Green and Jo Ann Whitehead, and Goodridge plaintiff David Wilson spoke to the crowd on the second day. The media was both penned up below the Supreme Court steps, and set up on the plaza to talk to lawyers and plaintiffs immediately following argument. Both days, the first person out the building was Jeffrey Toobin of CNN, who headed straight for his camera and immediately started talking. It was incredibly moving to see Edie Windsor, in her bright pink scarf, waving to the crowd, which lovingly cheered her. And it was satisfying to see GLAD’s Mary Bonauto share her wisdom with everyone from ABC News to members of the community who stopped her on the street. Kudos go to all of the organizers, and all who showed up, whether organized or disorganized. No matter what the legal outcome, these two days were a true expression of what Martin Luther King, Jr., called “the beloved community.” He said, “But the end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community. It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opposers into friends. It is this type of understanding goodwill that will transform the deep gloom of the old age into the exuberant gladness of the new age. It is this love which will bring about miracles in the hearts of men.” Jo Ann Whitehead (right) and Bette Jo Green, plaintiffs in GLAD's challenge to DOMA, Gill v. OPM, were in Washington D.C. last week for the rallies outside the Supreme Court. They share their experiences below. And now we step up for our rights under the law of the land. Bette Jo and I are happy we went to DC last week to stand outside SCOTUS during the morning rallies on Tuesday, March 26 (prop 8) and Wednesday, March 27 (DOMA): The weather was cold, but the fervor for equality warmed us deeply. The size of the supportive rally crowd took our breath away; it felt like a cold-weather Gay Pride Day. As the rally formed, we were cheek-to-jowl, able to move slowly through the flux of the crowd; this was a great opportunity to strike up conversations and make new “instant friends.” There was a mix of young, old, lgbt, straight, racially and culturally diverse, businesses, political groups, and religious groups. When the religious leaders (representing about every denomination you can think of) came from the prayer breakfast and walked through the crowd to the speakers’ area singing “this little light” it sparked a joyous sing-along. Fortunately, we were a distance from the “opposition” and the “must-hate” groups who were there, but they were much smaller numbers than the waves of support; some of their signs and banners were confusing, some were downright nasty (tradition, marriage, property; [swastika]; god hates fags). From our vantage point we enjoyed the bountiful upbeat, colorful, and supportive signs and banners, some homemade and some provided by the rally organizers: (Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine; guys, I said I hate figs; if God hates gay people, why are they so cute?; in case you’re confused [the rainbow flag] isn’t a white flag). We were so happy to see two other Gill vs OPM plantiffs (Beatrice and Melba, who stood for a loooong time in the “three minute line” to get into SCOTUS for a bit of the hearing on Wednesday). Kudos go to many: GLAD, HRC and other media coordinators; the rally organizers (the lineup of speakers was notable); the legal teams, the legal teams, the legal teams... Tuesday morning early we were on our way. The Metro was humming with folks in suits carrying briefcases, getting on and off, until we arrived at our stop: Capitol South. We emerged into the crisp air, greeted by volunteers in red t-shirts and vests, giving us directions to the Supreme Court building, along with placards and smiles. Our placards read “Marriage is Love Commitment Family” and we noticed more and more warmly dressed placard-carrying folks going in the same direction. Then we joined the throng – bright colors, lots of laughter, hand-printed signs, rainbow flags – and tried to get as close to the front steps as possible. People stood in the visitor line for the hearing, but many more were just like us making their way past the cameras and reporters to celebrate this historic moment together: the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) taking on gay marriage and gay marriage rights. I shivered when I saw EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW inscribed on the building. Could that also apply to us? The cold wind on this sunny day didn’t seem to matter so much in such a sea of humanity. We were huddled close together, jostling, saying “excuse me” so many times that we started talking about the day, learning each other’s stories, laughing as each new sign went by, chanting, singing, applauding the speakers, thanking the volunteers for all their efforts. We were a sea of color: rainbow and American flags, scarves, mittens, hats, and skin tone with the musical interludes keeping us hopping. A large contingent of ecumenical clergy wound their way through the crowd singing “This Little Light of Mine, I’m Going to Let it Shine” drawing us all in. And the speakers from near and far gave us inspiration from their personal stories and their support of the LGBT community. We left many hours later, only after our numb feet couldn’t hold us up any more. We needed energy for the next day. Wednesday morning we were old timers, not only in age, but in experience. We knew the route, the stop, the way and came even earlier to the front steps of SCOTUS. This time we introduced ourselves to the folks around us who came from Virginia, Maryland, California, etc. Gay, straight, young, old, black, white – all energetic, all with stories to tell. The placards read “Equality Now” and multitudes of American flags joined the handmade signs, each person with a wider grin than the last. By this time our cheeks hurt from smiling so much. We talked with each other about the joys of commitment and our families and the weather and how good it felt to be here. It was amazing to realize that each of us in that vast crowd had a story to tell if we would take the time to listen. And we cheered for Edie Windsor and her legal team when she emerged from the SCOTUS building. By that time we were happily ensconced indoors watching her on TV. Advocates for the freedom to marry often say that this movement is a marathon, not a sprint. Rhode Island is a case in point. Marriage bills have been filed every session since the late 1990’s, yet Little Rhodey is the only one of our New England neighbors that has not opened marriage to same-sex couples. But this could be the year when loving, committed same-sex couples finally win the opportunity to say “I do.” Not in nearby Swansea or South Attleboro, Mass. or Pawcatuck, Conn., but in the state they call home. Rhode Islanders United for Marriage, a coalition of which GLAD is a part, is running a stellar campaign, thanks to dedicated local leadership and experienced veterans of other New England marriage campaigns. The House has already passed the marriage bill. Gov. Lincoln Chafee has pledged to sign it. Now, it just needs to pass the Senate, a more conservative body, but nonetheless where we have steadily built support. GLAD has great news for transgender people who may benefit from claiming a tax deduction for medical treatment The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines the types of medical treatment that may qualify for a medical deduction on a person’s federal income tax. Even though the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) identified a medical condition (called “gender identity disorder (GID)” in its fourth edition, now called “gender dysphoria” in its fifth edition that will be released this May), until 2010 the IRS considered most treatment for GID to be cosmetic and, therefore, not eligible to be claimed as a medical deduction. But this changed in 2010, when GLAD won the O’Donnabhain case in federal Tax Court. As a result of this victory, the IRS now considers GID a medical condition, and therefore the expenses related to the treatment of GID may be claimed as a medical deduction. As it does with any medical deduction, the IRS requires medical documentation that the treatment you received was appropriate for your specific diagnosis. If you have had medical expenses for the treatment of GID in previous tax years, the IRS allows you to file an amended return for up to three years from the date of your original filing. This means that in most cases, you still have until April 15, 2013 to file amended returns for the 2011, 2010 or 2009 tax years. In addition to taking a medical deduction on your income tax, you may be able to get reimbursed for expenses related to your medical care if you have a consumer-directed health plan such as an FSA, HSA, MSA or HRA, because these plans use the IRS code to determine allowable medical expenses. GLAD strongly recommends that you consult with a tax professional about the best course of action for your particular case and that you have sufficient medical documentation for any expense you are claiming.

Do you sometimes feel ravenous, even though you just polished off a tasty lunch, a full dinner, or a midnight snack? Some food ingredients can trick our bodies into not recognizing when we’re full, causing “rebound hunger” that can add inches to our waistlines. But these simple tweaks from the authors of The New American Diet can help quiet your cravings. Sodas, iced teas, and other sweetened beverages are our biggest source of high-fructose corn syrup—accounting for about two-thirds of our annual intake. New research from the University of California at San Francisco indicates that fructose can trick our brains into craving more food, even when we’re full. It works by impeding the body’s ability to use leptin, the “satiation hormone” that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat. Many canned foods are high in the chemical bisphenol-A, or BPA, which the Food and Drug Administration recently stated was a chemical “of some concern.” Exposure to BPA can cause abnormal surges in leptin that, according to Harvard University researchers, leads to food cravings and obesity. After following 6,764 healthy people for almost 4 years, researchers found that those who ate just 300 calories for breakfast gained almost twice as much weight as those who ate 500 calories or more for breakfast. The reason: Eating a big breakfast makes for smaller rises in blood sugar and insulin throughout the day, meaning fewer sudden food cravings. Most Americans don’t eat enough leafy greens, which are rich in the essential B-vitamin folate and help protect against depression, fatigue, and weight gain. In one study, dieters with the highest levels of folate in their bodies lost 8.5 times as much weight as those with the lowest levels. Leafy greens are also high in vitamin K, another insulin-regulating nutrient that helps quash cravings. Best sources: Romaine lettuce, spinach, collard greens, radicchio. According to a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, people who drank one cup of black tea after eating high-carb foods decreased their blood-sugar levels by 10 percent for 2 and a half hours after the meal, which means they stayed full longer and had fewer food cravings. Researchers credit the polyphenolic compounds in black tea for suppressing rebound hunger. Dehydration often mimics the feeling of hunger. If you’ve just eaten and still feel hungry, drink a glass of water before eating more, and see if your desires don’t diminish. Researchers at Flinders University in Australia found that visual distractions can help curb cravings. To test yourself, envision a huge, sizzling steak. If you’re truly hungry, the steak will seem appealing. But if that doesn’t seem tempting, chances are you’re in need of a distraction, not another meal. 1. Wheatgrass juice is 70% chlorophyll. 2.

Ian Levine is one of those shy but assured “next-door” Midwestern boys, the quiet ones that you never know what they’re really thinking. Luckily, Ian agreed to open his mouth and little boy hole for Helix Studios and what followed was pretty naughty and revealing: You seem really sweet & quiet in your Helix scenes. How loud do you get with your bf? 🙂 I’m about the same in bed with the bf but with the experience I’m starting to get gradually louder 🙂 Do you prefer to have a guy cum down your throat or up your ass?

I like to be on my back when I bottom and doggy when I top You & Thor have been having some hot 3ways lately! What’s that like? How do you start them off? They’re pretty hot!!!! They usually start by either kissing or when one of us decides to take our clothes off How do you & Thor come to an agreement on a third partner if he likes twinks & you like jocks? When it comes to threesomes he likes jocks to top me. 😉 What was it like when you shot that DP scene with Kyle Ross & Jessie Montgomery? It was kinda awkward What was going through your mind during your first porn scene (non-solo)? “Whoa…. Uh… Don’t pass out…” Lol How do you have sex on camera? It’s kinda scary, right? No not at all! I just tune out everything else 😛 Do you & your bf watch any porn together?

I would love to go to London! What’s your biggest dream? and what’s your biggest fantasy? My dreams are a secret and my fantasy includes sexy men 😉 I realize that writing a comment 2-3 years after the fact is akin to barking at the moon, but having been only recently exposed to Ian’s many charms I have a question of my own. In most shoots Ian seems much paler than whoever he’s with. in some of the early scenes his skin looks darn well White. Is this genetics, chemically induced or just a severe lack of sunshine? Beth, I love, love, and love your quote of the day. Although I haven’t brushed up recently on my childhood fairytales, it seems to me that the story of Hansel & Gretel sticks in my mind as a favorite: stories of survival against the odds were a big encouragement to me. Still is! I’m in… I want to try for ten pounds in six weeks but I’ll be okay if I can hit six. Just a warning… I’ll be looking for lots of support… any ideas…recipes, tips, words of wisdom etc. I am going to attempt to come up with some kind of blog so I can have accountability. I am stuck on a blog name. I feel such pressure when I read the cool names onyour blogroll. that they do not interfere with stitching. I have made three quilts so far from these leftovers, have made some nifty potholders, and now I am making zippered bags for my knitting. Didn’t cost me a penny unless you count the thread.

THE TWO EXTENDED METAPHORS that Paul deploys in 1 Corinthians 3:5-15 make roughly the same point, although each carries a special shading not found in the other. In the agricultural metaphor (1 Cor. 3:5-9), the Lord is the farmer, Paul prepares the ground and plants the seed, Apollos waters the fledgling plants, and the Corinthians are "God's field" (1 Cor. 5:9). In the context, which is designed to combat the Corinthians' penchant for division based on attaching themselves to particular "heroes" (1 Cor. 3:3-4), Paul is concerned to show that he and Apollos are not competitors, but "fellow workers" (1 Cor. 5:9)--indeed, "God's fellow workers" (i.e., they are fellow workers who belong to God, not fellow workers along with God, as if God makes up a threesome). Not only so, but neither Paul nor Apollos can guarantee fruit: God alone makes the seed grow (1 Cor. 3:6-7). So why adopt a reverential stance toward either Paul or Apollos? The architectural metaphor initially makes the same point: the various builders all contribute to one building, and therefore none should be idolized. Now the Corinthians are not the field, but the building itself (1 Cor. 3:9-10). Paul laid the foundation of this building; otherwise put, he planted the church in Corinth. The foundation that Paul laid is Jesus Christ himself (1 Cor. 3:11). Since his departure from this building project, others have come and built on this foundation. Thus, so far the architectural metaphor implicitly makes the same point that the agricultural metaphor made explicitly. But now the architectural metaphor turns in a slightly different direction. Paul insists that later builders are responsible to choose with care the material they put into this building (1 Cor. 3:12-15). A "Day" is coming (1 Cor. 3:13), the day of judgment, when all that is not precious in God's sight will be consumed. It is possible that a builder could use such shoddy materials that in the end, all that he has built is devoured, even if he himself escapes the flames. Two observations: (1) The person Paul describes as being "saved, but only as one escaping through the flames" (1 Cor. 3:15), is not some purely nominal Christian whose conduct is indifferentiable from that of any pagan. Such do not enter the kingdom (1 Cor. 6:9-10). This is a "builder," not the mass of Christians who constitute the "building" (1 Cor. 3:10). The question is whether these evangelists and pastors are using proper materials. (2) In 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, the building, the church of God, becomes a temple. Later on, God's temple is the individual Christian's body (1 Cor. 6:19-20), but here it is the local church. God loves this building so much that he openly threatens to destroy those who destroy God's temple. Damage the church, and you desecrate God's temple--and God will destroy you.

Back at its OpenWorld event in 2014, Oracle announced it was working on a Node.js driver for its database products. The resulting code was released last week, as open source code with an Apache 2.0 license. The driver is now available from GitHub, and includes tools for working with JavaScript objects and arrays, and for translating between Oracle and JavaScript data types. It’s designed to handle transactions, and to work with Oracle’s built-in scaling tools. This includes the ability to quickly end transactions in the event of server failures – allowing Node.js applications to quickly failover to another database, without losing user data. Yet another project is graduating from experiment to proper part of Google. Only two weeks ago, Glass left the confines of the Skunk Works-like Google X and became its own division headed up by Nest co-founder Tony Fadell. Now Project Tango, the 3D-s... Papyros is a new Linux distribution in the making that will use the Material Design style from Google. There is nothing to test so far, but the progress made by the developers is impressive and it's very likely that this will become one of the most interesting distros available. TouchWiz has long been known as being far too full of bloat and unnecessary software, but the real problem with Samsung's version of Android is that these added features come with a hard hit on performance. According to a report this morning from SamMobile, the Korean company might be going as far as to remove all features from the OS that can possibly be downloaded - and this just so happens to coincide with today's market share numbers showing that Apple and Samsung were neck-and-neck in Q4.

Chrome apps are sometimes criticized as being strictly internet-only, virtually useless if you need to work offline. There’s some truth in that, but it’s not always the case. Ra is a Chrome-based text editor which not only works with local text files, but can double as a simple file manager. The add-on supports plain text files only, and is clearly aimed at developers. Files are initially displayed with line numbers; there are 100+ syntax highlighting schemes, and you can opt to use emacs or vim key bindings. Ra can be used by anyone, though, and if your needs are less… [Continue Reading] The following is a guest post by Sarah Drasner (@sarah_edo). Sarah has been researching and giving talks about animation lately. I jumped at the chance to have her share some of that research here, this time focusing on SVG animation and the different tech choices you can make to do it. After working with a number of SVG animation techniques for a few months now, I can give you a basic overview so you can compare them yourself. … Matter.js is a JavaScript 2D rigid body physics engine for the web. The Matter.Engine module contains methods for creating and manipulating engines. An engine is a controller that manages updating and rendering the simulation of the world.

Git Workflows for Pros — non-developers don’t understand how important this is to productivity. … The Federal government's auto regulator is recommending auto makers to consider installing crash imminent braking and dynamic brake support as standard equipment on all new cars produced. The recommendations are the first step in getting needed technology in as a mandatory regulation. Crash imminent braking, as the name implies, uses on-board sensors to detect when a crash is about to happen and then deploy the brakes if the driver has not already done so. Comments

In October 2014, Databricks participated in the Sort Benchmark and set a new world record for sorting 100 terabytes (TB) of data, or 1 trillion 100-byte records. The team used Apache Spark on 207 EC2 virtual machines and sorted 100 TB of data in 23 minutes. In comparison, the previous world record set by Hadoop MapReduce used 2100 machines in a private data center and took 72 minutes. This entry tied with a UCSD research team building high performance systems and we jointly set a new world record.

IoTivity is hosted by The Linux Foundation and will release a reference implementation of the IoT standards defined by the Open Internet Consortium (OIC), which has more than 50 members including Intel and Samsung. Cryptographers devote their careers to the science of securing your communications. Twenty-four-year-old Nadim Kobeissi has devoted his to the art of making that security as easy as possible. His software creations like Cryptocat and Minilock are meant to encrypt instant messages or shared files with three-letter-agency-level protection, but with user interfaces that require Lincoln-Log-level skills. Now he's pulling elements of all his dead-simple apps into what he describes as his biggest release yet, a single platform designed to encrypt everything you and any group of collaborators do on the desktop. The post The Free Encryption App That Wants to Replace Gmail, Dropbox, and HipChat appeared first on WIRED. Building the Workplace We Want (Slack) — culture is the manifestation of what your company values. What you reward, who you hire, how work is done, how decisions are made — all of these things are representations of the things … Stephen Hawking first met Gordon Moore, the cofounder of Intel, at a conference in 1997. Moore noticed that Hawking’s computer, which he used to communicate, had an AMD processor and asked him if he preferred instead a “real computer” with an Intel micro-processor. Intel has been providing Hawking with customized PCs and technical support since then, replacing his computer every two years. So that title may seem ridiculously random, but listen to this: it's snowing in Madrid right now! How cool is that? Yeah ok, so maybe those of you who live in places where it snows every day from November till March are guffawing at me, but for me, a California boy all my life, to live in a place where it snows is awesome. Especially since the weather in Madrid is so similar to Sacramento weather (where I live) that it's almost as cool as when it snows in Sacramento (which it does maybe once every 5 years, so it's always a cause for celebration). At any rate, I have been meaning to send an email to all my friends and family back home, and this was something I had to share, so it gave me a good opportunity to write to you. How has everyone's Lenten season started off? Any good resolutions made? Any of those same resolutions broken yet? How about Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday - did anybody do anything exciting for those? Here's how my Lenten experience has gone so far. Last weekend, I skipped my last two classes and Thursday and jetted out (literally, I took a jet) to Bonn Germany to visit my good friend Raymond Crosby, whom some of you know well. There is a German town called Köln (or Cologne for all of us German-challenged) where they have what I hear is a Karnival celebration second only to Rio de Janeiro. Well I don’t know about that, but it was certainly a darned good time. As soon as I arrived at 11pm Thursday night, I was greeted by a wild man in a full body lion costume who gave me a vial of strange tasting liquid to drink, then suited me up in a full body rooster costume and took me out on the town. Unfortunately, we were in the wrong part of the city, and the parties were already dying down a bit. Over the rest of the weekend, I made friends with several other LMU study abroad-ers, as well as a few cute German girls (though sadly, cute German girls are somewhat few and far between), and I saw some of the German cathedrals, as well as the mighty Rhine, in between freezing off the outer epidermal layers of my buttocks and partaking in some fine bratwurst. Overall, the weekend was a blast, though my immune system sadly could not keep up with me, and I have been recovering from a cold since then. I came back Monday and in place of my normal songbird like voice was a screechy scratchy thing and a wicked cough. Yet I managed to perform my first cantoring at the Ash Wednesday mass, and as far as I could tell, it didn’t sound too bad! Yesterday I finished my last midterm, so I’m good to go for another few months of clowning around and goofing off, and Ray will help me start that when he comes tonight to visit for the weekend. Then next weekend is when the real fun begins. Two SLU friends, Pat and Jordan, will accompany me first by bus to Barcelona, where we will fly out to London, spend a night there probably partying with Jean Luc, another LMU study abroad-er whom some of you probably know, then fly out to Dublin the next morning, stay in Ireland for a few days, fly to Scotland, stay there a few days, fly to Stockholm Sweden, there for a few days, then back to London, back to Barcelona, and back to Madrid. The entire travel expenses for the trip will be probably only around the $200 mark, which is not bad for so many different places. It's going to be a blast, and I can't wait to party hard, Irish/Scottish/Swedish style. [For those of you I have talked to often, the following might be repetitive… if you wish, skip it, though be aware you might be missing some of the wonderful storytelling of your dearest friend and humble narrator.] Before last weekend, days were filled with studying, homework, and other such endeavors, but I still found time to do some fun touristy things. I went with a friend to see El Escorial, which is the burial place of all the kings of Spain. It was ok, but the place was pretty dead when we were there (rim shot). The weekend before that I went with a group of friends to Barcelona, where we saw all kinds of neat things and had a great, albeit exhausting time. That’s all I have for now, and sadly, in the time that I was writing this, it has stopped snowing. However, the sun has come out as well, so I’m not too sad. Strange weather we’re having indeed… must be that crazy El Niño everyone is talking about. In the meantime, keep sending emails my way, as we finally have internet at my apartment and I can respond to them even faster than before, not to mention I love to hear from all of you. My love to all, and I hope this finds you well! It has been great to hear from many of you and how you are all doing without me. Luckily, it seems most have been able to get on with their lives, and I’m glad to hear it. I have been having a very fun time, most especially over these last few weekends, and now I’ve been catching up on some much needed sleep. Here’s what has been going on since last time I emailed. The weekend before last (the penultimate weekend, I suppose), I went on my first excursion with my Spanish Culture and Civilization class, and we took a bus Friday morning for 6 hours down to Granada, where we checked into our hotel and then went immediately over to the Royal Chapel, and we got to see the mausoleum, complete with coffins and everything, of Isabel and Fernando, los Reyes Catolicos. Next day we hit la Alhambra, this small town on top a huge hill, and it had all kinds of interesting architecture, fountains, gardens, etc. After lunch, we took the bus for an hour or two to Cordoba, where I went to mass in Spanish at a ginormous church. We walked in right on time at 8pm, and we left after mass at 8:27pm. These Spaniards really know how to pray efficiently. That night I went with some new friends to the Mercado Medieval, which was basically a Renaissance Faire in Spanish. It was very cool, we drank some mead, saw a fire juggler, and witness the forging of a dagger by an actual blacksmith. Next day was filled with more historic sites, including la Mezquita de Cordoba, the famous mosque that has been converted to a church. That place was amazingly huge. I have a feeling we did not make a great impression, as our tour guide was speaking very loudly throughout the tour, despite the many "Por favor, mantenganse silencio [Please keep quiet]" signs. Oh well, we didn’t stay long. Then we came back home and I slept the rest of the night. The following weekend (this last one) was fun-filled. Thursday, I went to the Casa de Cerveza (even you non-Spanish speakers can probably translate that) with some friends, and then made my way home around 2, which is early for Madrid. However, after getting lost several times, and being propositioned by about 10 different prostitutes, in Spanish (to the tune of "¿Quieres ***** conmigo?" "No gracias" "¿Por que no gracias?" etc), I finally took a cab home for about 3€. The next day was spent resting up for that evening, when I went with about 30 people from my Latin Rhythms dance class to a club that looked like something out of the 70s, very Scarface-esque. We danced merengue, and did the cha-cha, and tried to be stars while Tony tended bar (obscure musical reference). It was a wild and fun night, but very crowded and very hot. I finally made it home around 4am, which is still early for Spain. Saturday was spent hiking, which was fun but not as long or rigorous a hike as I had hoped, as we did not even make it to the top of the mountain. Then Sunday was spent shopping, churching, and finally, heading down to the Hard Rock Cafe at about midnight for the big game. Five friends and I, as well as about half of the Americans in Madrid were in attendance, as I celebrated my first Super Bowl Monday. It was a rousing good time, but made for a tough Monday morning, as the game did not even till 4:30am here, and of course we stayed the whole time and had to walk 45 minutes home as the subway closes at 1:30. And yet, it’s still early for Spain. I have yet to stay out until a time that is generally considered "late" here. Overall, very good times going on so far. I have yet to see a football (read: soccer) game here, but I’ve heard they’re awesome. Travel plans are slow going, partly because I am trying to conserve funds to backpack through Europe after school is out. I finally booked the cheapest flight I found (240€) to visit Ray for Karnival in Cologne, Germany Feb 19-23. Should be a wild time, especially with the Raymonster. In the meantime, keep sending those emails, as I love to hear from all of you, and I will send out another email soon with more pictures! Hope everyone is doing well, and you are all constantly in my thoughts are prayers.

A proof of concept (PoC) film is similar to a short film, except that it is not written as such. Short films have a script and a complete idea within the few minutes that they are meant to run. A PoC film, on the other hand, is a part of a feature film that has been shot and edited. A PoC is something more than a movie trailer but less than a complete short film. The idea of a PoC is to give a feel of the intended feature film to potential producers and investors. A PoC film is extremely important to find investors for your feature film, especially if you are an amateur director who people do not know yet. Not using the PoC to showcase your talent to the fullest is a common mistake that many amateur directors make. The other extreme is when too much work is crammed into a few minutes, making the PoC look excessive and thus taking away from the beauty and talent of all the people working in front of and behind the camera. Investing too much money in buying equipment to shoot and ignoring editing is a major faux pas. Good shooting equipment is definitely required, but you also need to plan your time and money such that adequate resources are available at the editing stage as well. Neglecting the audio in your PoC is never a good idea. Be it background music, dialogues or other kinds of audio, it is important to ensure that the audio syncs and works well with the visuals after video editing is complete. Getting the format of the file wrong and being unable to showcase your PoC to your investors is possibly the biggest mistake you can commit as a film maker. It is always a good idea to check the kind of equipment available at the screening beforehand to ensure you have the format of your PoC film file correct and there are no technical glitches when playing the film. A well-made PoC film can lead to a lot of interesting opportunities for directors in feature films, short films, and as niche expertise in making good PoC films for others. You can choose what you want your PoC film to do for you and work on it accordingly.

Oh look, Clonehunter is available on illegal bit torrent! I'd advise not trying to download it though, who knows what kind of yukky virus your computer will get? I suppose someone should send a takedown notice. How is this movie at 23.98fps? The original files were that bit rate but the only way anyone would have had access was via a DVD of the picture (which was 29.97). Did the movie get RE-converted to 23.98? Actually, I can't even download the movie. I can't figure out where the link is. And, well, I don't really care. That's not what's important. The important thing is that now the movie is available as video-on-demand from Amazon! Wahoo! Although it sucks that the movie is being pirated, likely cutting in to the limited earnings, you've made it to the big leagues. I can't imagine that many people are downloading the ripped version. I mean other than me. I downloaded it. The sound is a bit off somehow. It's like the whole movie was dubbed. I can't explain it. "Quarterback Tim Tebow #15 of the Denver Broncos prays with teammates and players from the New England Patriots after an NFL game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on December 18, 2011 in Denver, Colorado." Every year, January is a time to reflect back on the year and search through thousands of images from the previous year. I always said, if you don't look at what you did before, you'll do all the same stuff over again. While it's a good to look back on the highlights and lowlights, I make sure it's short and sweet as I jump back into assignments and eagerly look forward to the new year.

The original style of Kellerbier from the Franconia area of Germany. A much older style compared to the relatively more recent pale Helles-Style Kellerbier that is popular in the Munich area today. A young, unfiltered, and unpasteurized beer that is between a Helles and Märzen in color, spicier in the hops with greater attenuation. Interpretations range in color and balance, but remain in the drinkable 4.8% ABV neighborhood. Balance ranges from the dry, spicy and pale-colored interpretations by St. Georgen and Löwenbräu of Buttenheim, to darker and maltier interpretations in the Fränkische Schweiz. This style is above all a method of producing simple drinkable beers for neighbors out of local ingredients to be served fresh. Balance with a focus on drinkability and digestibility is important. Moderate intensity of German malt, typically rich, bready, somewhat toasty, with light bread crust notes. Moderately-low to moderate spicy peppery hop aroma. Very low to low diacetyl, occasionally low to moderately-low sulfur and very low green apple or other yeast-derived notes. Caramel, biscuity, or roasted malt aroma is inappropriate. Moderately cloudy to clear depending on age, but never extremely cloudy or murky. Gold to deep reddish-amber color. Off-white, creamy head. When served on cask, can have low carbonation and very low head. Initial malt flavor may suggest sweetness, but finish is moderately dry to dry, and slightly bitter. Distinctive and complex maltiness often includes a bready-toasty aspect. Hop bitterness is moderate to moderately high, and spicy or herbal hop flavor is low to moderately high. Balance can be either on the malt or hop side, but the finish is not sweet. Noticeable caramel or roasted malt flavors are inappropriate. Very low to low diacetyl. Possible very low green apple or other yeast-derived notes. Smooth, malty aftertaste. The best examples of Amber Kellerbier are served only on tap at many of the small Franconia area breweries (as this is a beer best served fresh and the serving style being an important part of the style). Bottled versions are not likely to have the freshness, hop character and young beer notes exhibited by the draft versions. This was the classic, historical style before it was adapted in other areas. This original, older style of Kellerbier would have simply been beer served from local taverns that did not lager long enough to drop bright. Many breweries in Franconia would use some of this young beer during the summer months, for festivals such as the Annafest (est. 1840) in July in Forchheim, where it was traditional to drink directly from the lagering vessels. Grist varies, although traditional German versions emphasized Franconian pale and color malt. The notion of elegance is derived from the high-quality local ingredients, particularly the malts. Spalt or other typically spicy local hops are most common. Frugal Franconian brewers rarely used decoction brewing due to the cost of energy. A very common seasonal summer beer brewed by many of the Munich area breweries and served in the beer gardens, where they are very popular. A young, fresh Helles, so while still a malty, fully-attenuated Pils malt showcase, the hop character (aroma, flavor and bitterness) is more pronounced, and the beer is cloudy, often with some level of diacetyl, and possibly has some green apple and/or other yeast-derived notes. As with the traditional Helles, the Keller version is still a beer intended to be drunk by the liter, so overall it should remain a light, refreshing, easy drinking golden lager. Moderately-low to moderately-high spicy, floral, or herbal hop aroma. Very low to moderate diacetyl, possible very low green apple or other yeast derived notes. Pleasantly grainy-sweet, clean malt aroma, with possible low background note of DMS. Slight haze to moderately cloudy, but never extremely cloudy or murky. Medium yellow to pale gold color. Creamy white head with good persistence. When served on cask, can have low carbonation and very low head. Moderately malty with a rounded, grainy-sweet profile. Low to moderately-high spicy, floral, or herbal hop flavor, with a moderate hop bitterness that can linger. Finish is crisp and dry, but the aftertaste remains malty. Very low to moderate diacetyl, which should always remain at a pleasant, drinkable level that balances somewhat with the other characteristics of the beer; overwhelming diacetyl is not appropriate. Possible very low green apple or other yeast derived notes, and possible low background note of DMS. Medium body. Low to medium carbonation. Depending on the level of yeast in suspension, it may assist in creating a slightly creamy texture. A slight slickness on the tongue may be present from the diacetyl. Most Pale Kellerbiers are young, unfiltered, unpasteurized versions of Munich Helles beer, although Pils or a different, custom golden lager beer designed specifically for serving young could also be used. The best examples are served only on tap at many of the Munich area breweries. Bottled versions are not likely to have the freshness, hop character and young beer notes exhibited by the draft versions. Most commonly, a young, unfiltered and unpasteurized version of a Munich Helles, though it can be a young, unfiltered and unpasteurized version of other golden German lagers, such as a Pilsner or a seasonal golden lager made specifically for serving young. A darker-colored, light-flavored, malt-accented beer with a dry finish and interesting character malt flavors. Refreshing due to its high carbonation and mild flavors, and highly sessionable due to being served very fresh and with restrained alcohol levels. Amber-orange to light brown in color. Typically clear, but may have some light haze due to limited conditioning. Foam stand may not be long lasting, and is usually white to beige in color. Moderate grainy-sweet maltiness with low to medium-low caramel, toffee, bready, and/or biscuity notes. Generally light palate flavors typical of adjunct beers; a low grainy, corn-like sweetness is common. Medium to low floral or spicy hop flavor. Medium to low hop bitterness, which should neither be coarse nor have a harsh aftertaste. May exhibit light fruitiness. Balance in the finish is towards the malt. May have a lightly flinty or minerally-sulfate flavor in the finish. The finish is fairly dry, including the contributions of roasted grains and minerals. No sourness. Medium to medium-light body with a relatively soft mouthfeel. Highly carbonated. Can have a creamy texture. Modern characterizations of the style often mention a lactic sourness or sour mashing, but extensive brewing records from the larger breweries at the turn of the century have no indication of long acid rests, sour mashing, or extensive conditioning. This is likely a modern homebrewer invention, based on the supposition that since indigenous Bourbon distillers used a sour mash, beer brewers must also have used this process. No contemporaneous records indicate sour mashing or that the beer had a sour profile; rather the opposite, that the beer was brewed as an inexpensive, present-use ale. Enter soured versions in American Wild Ale. A true American original style, Kentucky Common was almost exclusively produced and sold around the Louisville Kentucky metropolitan area from some time after the Civil War up to Prohibition. Its hallmark was that it was inexpensive and quickly produced, typically 6 to 8 days from mash to delivery. The beer was racked into barrels while actively fermenting (1.020 – 1.022) and tightly bunged to allow carbonation in the saloon cellar. There is some speculation that it was a variant of the lighter common or cream ale produced throughout much of the East prior to the Civil War and that the darker grains were added by the mostly Germanic brewers to help acidify the typical carbonate water of the Louisville area, or that they had a preference for darker colored beers. Up until the late 19th century, Kentucky Common was not brewed in the summer months unless cellars, usually used for malting, were used for fermentation. With the advent of ice machines, the larger breweries were able to brew year round. In the period from 1900 to prohibition, about 75% of the beer sold in the Louisville area was Kentucky Common. With prohibition, the style died completely as the few larger breweries that survived were almost exclusively lager producers. Six-row barley malt was used with 35% corn grits to dilute the excessive protein levels along with 1 to 2% each caramel and black malt. Native American hops, usually about .2 pounds per barrel of Western hops for bittering and a similar amount of New York hops (such as Clusters) for flavor (15 minutes prior to knock out). Imported continental Saazer-type hops (.1 pounds per barrel) were added at knock out for aroma. Water in the Louisville area was typically moderate to high in carbonates. Mash water was often pre-boiled to precipitate the carbonate and Gypsum was commonly added. Considering the time from mash in to kegging for delivery was typically 6 to 8 days, clearly aggressive top-fermenting yeasts was used. Like a darker-colored cream ale emphasizing corn, but with some light character malt flavor. Malt flavors and balance are probably closest to modern adjunct-driven international amber or dark lagers, Irish red ales, or Belgian pale ales. A moderate-strength golden ale that has a subtle fruity-spicy Belgian yeast complexity, slightly malty-sweet flavor, and dry finish. Light earthy or spicy hop nose, along with a lightly grainy-sweet malt character. Shows a subtle yeast character that may include spicy phenolics, perfumy or honey-like alcohol, or yeasty, fruity esters (commonly orange-like or lemony). Light sweetness that may have a slightly sugar-like character. Subtle yet complex. Light to deep gold color. Generally very clear. Large, dense, and creamy white to off-white head. Good head retention with Belgian lace. Smooth, light to moderate grainy-sweet malt flavor initially, but finishes medium-dry to dry with some smooth alcohol becoming evident in the aftertaste. Medium hop and alcohol bitterness to balance. Light hop flavor, can be spicy or earthy. Very soft yeast character (esters and alcohols, which are sometimes perfumy or orange/lemon-like). Light spicy phenolics optional. Some lightly caramelized sugar or honey-like sweetness on palate. Medium-high to high carbonation, can give mouth-filling bubbly sensation. Medium body. Light to moderate alcohol warmth, but smooth. Can be somewhat creamy. Often has an almost lager-like character, which gives it a cleaner profile in comparison to many other Belgian styles. Belgians use the term Blond, while the French spell it Blonde. Most commercial examples are in the 6.5 – 7% ABV range. Many Trappist or artisanal Belgian beers are called Blond but those are not representative of this style. Relatively recent development to further appeal to European Pils drinkers, becoming more popular as it is heavily marketed and widely distributed. Belgian Pils malt, aromatic malts, sugar, Belgian yeast strains that produce complex alcohol, phenolics and perfumy esters, Saazer-type, Styrian Goldings, or East Kent Goldings hops. Spices are not traditionally used, although the ingredients and fermentation by-products may give an impression of spicing (often reminiscent of oranges or lemons). If spices are present, should be a background character only. Similar strength as a Dubbel, similar character as a Belgian Strong Golden Ale or Tripel, although a bit sweeter and not as bitter. A moderately malty, somewhat fruity, easy-drinking, copper-colored Belgian ale that is somewhat less aggressive in flavor profile than many other Belgian beers. The malt character tends to be a bit biscuity with light toasty, honey-like, or caramelly components; the fruit character is noticeable and complementary to the malt. The bitterness level is generally moderate, but may not seem as high due to the flavorful malt profile. Moderate malt aroma, which can be a combination of toasty, biscuity, or nutty, possibly with a touch of light caramel or honey. Moderate to moderately high fruitiness with an orange- or pear-like character. Low to moderate strength hop character (spicy, herbal, or floral) optionally blended with background level peppery, spicy phenols. The hop character is lower in balance than the malt and fruitiness. Amber to copper in color. Clarity is very good. Creamy, rocky, white head often fades more quickly than other Belgian beers. Has an initial soft, smooth, moderately malty flavor with a variable profile of toasty, biscuity, nutty, light caramel and/or honey notes. Moderate to moderately high fruitiness, sometimes orange- or pear-like. Relatively light (medium-low to low) spicy, herbal, or floral hop character. The hop bitterness is medium-high to medium-low, and is optionally enhanced by low to very low amounts of peppery phenols. There is a dry to balanced finish, with hops becoming more pronounced in the aftertaste of those with a drier finish. Fairly well balanced overall, with no single component being high in intensity; malt and fruitiness are more forward initially with a supportive bitterness and drying character coming on late. Medium to medium-light body. Smooth palate. Alcohol level is restrained, and any warming character should be low if present. Medium to medium-high carbonation. Most commonly found in the Flemish provinces of Antwerp and Brabant. Considered “everyday” beers (Category I). Compared to their higher alcohol Category S cousins, they are Belgian “session beers” for ease of drinking. Nothing should be too pronounced or dominant; balance is the key. Yeast character generally more subtle than many Belgian beers, with some of the fruitiness being hop-driven. Produced by breweries with roots as far back as the mid-1700s, the most well-known examples were perfected after the Second World War with some influence from Britain, including hops and yeast strains. Pilsner or pale ale malt contributes the bulk of the grist with (cara) Vienna and Munich malts adding color, body and complexity. Sugar is not commonly used as high gravity is not desired. Saazer-type hops, Styrian Goldings, East Kent Goldings or Fuggles are commonly used. Yeasts prone to moderate production of phenols are often used but fermentation temperatures should be kept moderate to limit this character. Fairly similar to pale ales from England (Strong Bitter category), typically with a slightly different yeast character and a more varied malt profile. Less yeast character than many other Belgian beers, though.

"Scuttle" is the twenty-fourth episode of The Little Mermaid TV series, originally aired on September 17, 1994. Ariel meets Scuttle for the first time and must use his help to rescue Sebastian from a gang of pirates. In this episode, a ship of pirates are prowling the waters. After they attack and ravage a traveling ship, a gold cup accidentally falls into the sea. This glinting cup is spotted by Ariel, who is swimming underneath with Sebastian and Flounder, and by Scuttle, who is flying overhead. The two of them go for the cup at the exact same time, resulting in a tug of war. Scuttle wins, but Ariel doesn't give up easily and chases him so to regain her treasure. This results in Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian visiting Scuttle's little island. As Ariel is getting to know Scuttle and listening to his blabbering about how much he knows about humans, an eagle drops out of nowhere, grabs Sebastian, and flies off. Scuttle, eager to make friends, tries to rescue Sebastian but is too clumsy. Sebastian manages to pinch his captor's leg, but he ends up falling on the pirate ship, where he is trapped. Scuttle insists that he can be counted on and so Ariel decides to give him a chance, since flying would be an advantage in rescuing Sebastian. Sebastian gets into quite a few tight scrapes in the pirate's ship, but manages to escape at the last minute thanks to Scuttle, who comes through when it really counts. Ariel chips in, following Scuttle's instructions, and together they make a pretty good team. Just then, a second ship appears. It's the Royal Galleon, and the pirate ship is heading straight for it, intent on capturing the prince on board whom they intend to take hostage. With a new flying ally in her posse, Ariel sets into motion stopping the pirates. During the hullabaloo, she is accidentally seen by a dark-haired human prince who will have a prominent role in her future. Scuttle's island looks somewhat similar to how it is in the movie, except that in the film it's practically in the middle of nowhere, while in this episode it's a stone's throw away from what looks like a swamp. Also, though it's a little surprising that Sebastian would get to know Scuttle so early on, in the film they do seem to know each other already, though they're not so much on good terms.

Nairobi Garage has expanded by opening a new branch in Westlands, which it claims makes it the largest co-working company in Africa with 100 member startups and over 500 desks. The new Nairobi Garage space in Westlands will open its doors on December 1, with the company saying the expansion was a response to the growing demand for quality working space and entrepreneurial community in Nairobi. Its second space – the original is on Ngong Road – will see Nairobi Garage bring on board a greater variety of companies in terms of stages and sectors, as well as international tech companies. The likes of Uber and Terragon Group are among the companies that have already pre-reserved 40 per cent of the new space. “With our expansion, Nairobi Garage will be able to offer affordable shared space to many more of Kenya’s top local startups. We also aim to make it easier for incoming entrepreneurs and investors from overseas who want to get a foothold in Africa. What you get with the Garage is a ready-made and very active community of innovators, looking to learn with and help one another,” said Hannah Clifford, general manager of Nairobi Garage. The new Garage – at the Mirage, a brand new commercial building on Waiyaki Way – will offer an additional 400 desks, plus a number of team rooms, meeting rooms and event space. The Westlands branch is expected to host around 70 companies, with the office space 25,000 square foot in total, with an additional entertainment rooftop area. It will offer its members all-inclusive 24/7 office facilities, access to an in-house café, events and workshop series tailored for entrepreneurs and techies, meeting rooms and a presentation and event area. Passionate about the vibrant tech startups scene in Africa, Tom can usually be found sniffing out the continent's most exciting new companies and entrepreneurs, funding rounds and any other developments within the growing ecosystem.

From the beginning I knew this remodeling project would be different than others. My wife and I have remodeled our home and our commercial building. In those instances we felt that we were chasing our contractors for details, solid goals, and completion of the project. With Distinctive Design and Build we were put at ease immediately. They focused on what we wanted out of our remodeling project to suit our family, our goals, and our lifestyle. We were given clear advice and parameters about the work before we ever began. When we needed answers or advice, they gave them in a timely manner. Often, they had solutions to our problems before we had time to worry. The design aspect was tailored to our wishes, not a cookie cutter design used over and over again in prior projects. The craftsmanship of the build was breathtaking. To sum it up, they treated our home like it was theirs! I highly recommend them for any project from beginning to end. We live in an older house (circa 1930) and this renovation was pretty complicated (structural changes, complete rewire of the house, etc.). Even the demolition was difficult. Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel, LLC did a great job throughout the 7 month project. They never said "no" to anything, and were never rattled by any of the quirky things you find when renovating an older home. They just figured it out and kept going. Their subs were fantastic. We have been very pleased with the addition/ kitchen remodel Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel completed for us. We outgrew our previous kitchen space and I had been frustrated with many aspects of the kitchen design. Vince and Erin listened to the challenges we had in our old space and came up with a design that has worked out as we had hoped... I love my kitchen again and we really enjoy our additional sunroom and mudroom. The flow and ample storage areas work out well for our large family. All of the team, including subcontractors, were polite and safety conscious which was important with 4 children from 4 to 12 around the home. We were kept up to date regarding progress and all concerns were addressed in a timely manner. The remodel took a little bit longer than expected, and we were a little naive about the energy it took to move items within our house and live with upheaval for a time, however the results were well worth it!!! From the initial contact, we have thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of this remodel. Vince Busby and his crew were EXCELLENT in their follow-up and meeting with us to design our new kitchen. He worked with us to keep some of the existing cabinetry and listened to our ideas on what we desired for a unique and one-of-a-kind granite table and island area. He more than exceeded our expectations in making that happen. His work was done on time and exactly by the deadline we agreed on. The quality of work was EXCELLENT... They were a delight to have in the house and kept the construction area clean and orderly. They were prompt each morning and communicated their schedule to us each day, so we didn't have to guess when they'd be there. We would highly recommend Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel. We will definitely be using them again. Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel is a company you can trust to build it right. As a Licensed Structural Engineer, and co-owner of Intelligent Design Engineering in Charlotte, I have worked with Vince, the General Contractor at Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel, for years and he is at the top of my list when I recommend a contractor. The things that set Vince apart are his ability to perform a wide range of jobs and he is personally on site overseeing the work. If you’re looking for an experienced builder who doesn’t cut corners and who takes customer service seriously, Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel is the company you should call. Vince and his team are true professionals. They make a habit of being punctual and rehearsed. The site was always cleaned at the end of the day. We thoroughly enjoy our kitchen and are very pleased that Vince took control of our complex project. It is not everyday that you redo a kitchen, so getting it done right once was a priority. There are always unexpected issues and Vince handled them with ingenuity and honor. You always hear horror stories about people who have had issues with work being done on their home. From estimates for work that sometimes go over the amount first agreed to, or issues with shoddy work, or contractors that take weeks to get the job completed. None of these problems was an issue for us with Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel. We contracted with them for an addition on our home. Erin Dougherty was very professional and offered advice and insight on our project. The contract was well written and specifically stated the work that was to be done. This kept the budget intact. Vince Busby was very much into making sure our project was done right with no issues and on a timeline set forth in the contract. He also explained every detail on the project - whether or not we asked about it. Their team of contractors was devoted on getting the job done and cleaned up after their work was done each day. Would I contract with them again to do work on my home? In a heart beat! We wanted to convert a 2 story family room to a single level family room with a 2nd floor playroom. Every other contractor had told us that we would need columns to support the second floor. Vince assured us that this was not needed and I was able to see his work on a friend's house where he had done the similar job. They put in a new 2nd floor for the playroom, converted 2 side windows to working windows, and added an "L shaped" closet with double pocket doors in the playroom, as well as recessed lighting and 2 vents for the new room. The end result was just what we were looking for. I was very pleased with Vince's work and would recommend him to others. We used their services for remodeling of the master bathroom. Overall the services were very professional and courteous. Overall it was a great experience. I would us them again. We never had to call them back for any improvement. Our back deck was old, in full afternoon sun, and mosquitoes made it nearly impossible to enjoy. I wanted shade, comfort, and protection from the mosquitoes. Working with Distinctive Design & Build was a pleasure from the very start. They actually followed up (many other contracting companies came, and we never heard from them again) and moved the process along as quickly as possible. Their design team is top notch, and brings beautiful ideas to the table. All of the various professions we worked with (builders, electricians, masons, gutter installation) were friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company. They are top notch.

I get asked this all the time. When I decided to do this why I series I knew I wanted to do a post on why I twitter. The brilliant thing is in the past two days 2 people much smart than I have written about this very thing. 3. Helps me be a better writer. I have always been a fan of short – twitter is HNL (wHole Natha Level) You see, Twitter is one practical illustration of how we’ve moved past the industrial age through the information age to the interconnected age. But, naysayers are still calling it silly and dumb. Hello. Anything can be silly and dumb–depending on how it’s used. Jennifer Blanchard wrote a great post on how twitter helps you be a better writter. Here is what she had to say on Copyblogger.com. If you’ve ever used Twitter, you know that you have 140 characters to say whatever you want to say. Now keep in mind, I didn’t say 140 words—or even 140 letters—I said 140 characters. That’s not a lot of room. Letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation and spaces all count as characters on Twitter. What all of this means is, you have to be concise. You have to know exactly what you want to say, and say it in as few words as possible. Many writers, however, are “wordy” and often have long, drawn out descriptions and sentences, so it can be pretty difficult to create a message that’s only 140 characters. I think most people think funny is something that just happens or is learned by reading some book. My personal opinion is that funny is not easy funny is rare. Funny is a science. If funny was something that many people possess or understood why would every single person who is looking for a potential mate say that one of must haves is a sense of humor. My theory for the lack of humor in peoples lives lies not in what you say but in what you do not say. To many people say the first thing that comes to their mind. Bad idea. My good friend Chico describes the art of funny as “The Force” in Star Wars. You have to hone your craft and train your mind. 2. Filter out the stupid thoughts and pick out the gems. (Not easy and the reason most people aren’t funny they surround their gems with forgettable statements that only they find funny) Some of the funniest people i have met or hope to met someday Mark Schilling our churches Youth Pastor, the aforementioned Chico, the stuff christians like blog guy (the guy is a genius, to reverently mock christian subculture, gotta love it.), and Funny Man Dan whose recent addition to Dave’s blog roll made me think about this post. FMD is a brilliant writer and his blog almost always makes me laugh out loud. Comedy is not easy, but I guess if it was than everyone would be funny and if everyone was funny I think no one would be funny. Finally home. Tons of first time guests. Still having lopsided attenance 9am empty vs 11am packed. Need to work on a solution to that#kidmin # RT @mattmckee: In the middle of #kidmin service. Tweeting on stage talking about distractions and how we should listen to God./// LOL nice! # #kidmin not good. Had a level 3 predator last Sunday. Thank God for good security! He didn’t even get close,HUGE fan of security! # Darn weconnect isn’t adding me. I am going to try one more time at the risk of spamming our #kidmin hashtag. # Dear #24 just in case you haven’t heard you jumped the shark 2 days ago. (Crappy acting + Crappy writing = Crappy show) # Carl has a chance all #24 characters with a name have a 80% survival rate no names 5% survival rate. # Lord help me today and everyday to focus on you to trust you and to be motivated not by success or failure but by what moves your heart. # I am just saying the puppets w/ a blue sash as jesus days are over. But funky out of the box puppet stuff are far from over. #kidmin # Diff. between a big church and a Mega church is a mega church can receive from more than one person. Great Thought @jimwideman! # RT @paulbenger The purpose of our salvation is to position & equip us to partner with God in His redemptive mission for the planet. # This is an online devotional that is two of my favorite things: Simple and Practical. I am using it myself as well as a tool for a Jr. Councilor Discipleship group I am doing. I have been using it for about a week and I love it. I found it on Dave’s blog. (BTW Dave In the name of all that is Holy add FMD to your blogroll already. LOL) Check out examen.me for yourself. Grouptweet is what we are going to be using to communicate with each-other. I chose grouptweet over facebook because the better sms and some kids are not allowed on facebook. I think the combination of protected updates and grouptweet are the best solution for any small group. Here is the Logo I created for our kidscamp this year. I am a huge fan of a couple more things. Simple easy design that isn’t clipart. I have a growing list of ministry things that drive me nuts. As you all know I hate flannelgraph Jesus I also hate crappy design. In todays day and age I don’t think there is any excuse for it. I am not a graphic designer I know the basics of Photoshop and Illustrator. I am a self proclaimed Adobe hack. If I can do it you can to. Take the time to make all the print stuff you do for your ministry amazing. I try and use vector files as much as possible thanks to my good friend Gareth have come to love Vector files, but thats me use whatever woorks for you. I buy vector files off of iStockphoto but only after I check out these free sites. Sign up to receive my blog posts via e-mail and get a FREE copy of my NEW Online Safety e-resource.

Kapp Singer is both lucky and talented. Having learned to telemark ski at a very young age from SCARPA athlete, Danny Walton, he took a liking to the sport and happens to be extremely good at it too. Last month, at 12 years old, he had the privilege to travel to Greenland on a ski trip. Needless to say, it was a “mindblowing” experience and Kapp was excited to share some of the trip highlights with us. Continue reading...

Netscape, which started life as a web browser company and then evolved into a media destination site, is being reinvented once again to merge news reporting and blogs with the latest internet trends. On Thursday, the revised Netscape.com will begin a public test of what its new general manager, dot-com news entrepreneur Jason Calacanis, said might reinvent the modern news service. The new Netscape.com marks the rebirth of a first-generation internet brand. Netscape the brand, like AOL, was synonymous with web browsing a decade ago. It was bought in 1999 by AOL and after its browser software was crushed by competition from Microsoft, the brand was reborn first as an internet portal and again as a discount internet access provider. Lionel is pleased to announce the release of Lionel LEGACY Control System upgrade version 1.2. This upgrade will enable users to access a whole new menu of LEGACY features (see below) and will enhance your enjoyment of this revolutionary operating system. However, in order to access these particular features, you must return your LEGACY Bases and Remote to Lionel – the Memory Modules alone will not upgrade your current system. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our valued customers and we assure you that when we release future upgrades, returning the system will not be necessary. These upgrades will be accessible by inserting Memory Modules. To facilitate the upgrading process, we are asking that LEGACY users and Lionel dealers with LEGACY sets on their shelves to do the following: · Register for a Return Authorization Number by logging on to our dedicated on-line LEGACY Upgrade RA number page at http://www.lionel.com/legacyupgrade (This page will automatically generate a unique RA number for you to return your base for upgrade.) o We have included a Frequently Asked Question link to this page that outlines answers to most of your questions; please refer to that page before contacting Lionel Customer Service with questions. o Once you have submitted the required information, a Return Authorization number will be displayed and emailed to you. After that, all correspondence related to your upgrade will be sent via email updating the status and tracking number upon completion. (We have implemented this process to reduce the call volume, so we can complete your upgrades in a timely manner while providing real time tracking of each set sent for upgrade.) o If you cannot access the Internet, please call Lionel Customer Service at 586-949-4100 extension 9105 Monday through Friday 10am to 5pm EDT to request an RA number for your LEGACY set. · Once you have received your Return Authorization number, we ask that you write that RA number on the outside of the package and ship your LEGACY Base and Remote to: · The LEGACY upgrades will not be executed in our Michigan facility. If your set is shipped to Michigan, it will not be accepted and your package will be returned. All LEGACY bases and remotes MUST be shipped to our Ohio facility to have the upgrade performed. · PLEASE NOTE: If your LEGACY Base has a silver dot on the bottom in the FCC compliance block, and your CAB-2 remote has a silver dot inside the battery compartment, you do NOT need to send your base in for upgrade. However, you will need the version 1.2 memory modules and the new version 1.2 manual. Contact Lionel Customer Service at 586-949-4100 ext 9105 and request part number 610-4295-900 be mailed to you directly free of charge – but ONLY if your base and remote have the silver dot indicator. This upgrade does not require you to send your 6-24294 LEGACY remote/charger Expansion sets to us. These can be upgraded using the memory modules that we are returning with the LEGACY Base and Remote. We apologize for this inconvenience and want to reassure our valued customers that this is only a one-time process. Future software upgrades will be handled using memory modules only, mailed directly to the address you supply to us. Again, we want to encourage all end users (customers who have purchased the LEGACY Control System for personal or commercial use) to register their LEGACY set by visiting http://www.lionel.com/RegisterLegacy. This is the only method we have in place to track LEGACY users for future upgrades. If you are unable to access the Internet, please call Lionel Customer Service at 586-949-4100 ext 9105 Monday through Friday 10am to 5pm EDT for assistance in registering on-line. · Alphabetical engine look-up tableWhen scrolling for engines, the list of locomotives falls into alphabetical order, as well as numerical order. (Does not scroll by engine I.D.) · Improved scrolling speedsThere are two speed settings when scrolling through the list of engines in the data bank. Now, a user can scroll through slowly or fast when looking for a locomotive in a larger bank of stored engines. The central train control menu now has a backlight “always on” option. This allows the operator to have the backlight always on while the user is running their locomotives. The central train control menu now has a menu that allows the operator to select the amount of time the cab will stay active, from one hour up to four hours. This allows the operator to come back at a later time and just tap any button to start running without waiting for the system to boot up. · New feature allowing scroll button to work at welcome screenWhen the user first turns on the Cab-2, the scroll button allows the operator the ability to scroll through the menu right on power up. · Improved train clear optionNow when you clear the train, all engines are removed from the train builder address. If you build a new train and transfer the locomotives in the new train address, the old address will auto clear. · Corrected multiple engine speed graph undesired change issueOperating multiple engines, the engine will hold the correct speed graph setting when toggling back and forth from one engine to another. · Improved route builder screen interfaceWhen building a route, the interface screen now requires a route number so that the operator does not build a route without a route number. · Improved left/right hand switch builder function in the route builder screensNow the left hand icon and right hand icon both throw their assigned switches. PLEASE NOTE: Once your base and remote have been upgraded, Lionel will individually test each base/remote set and return them along with a newly printed version 1.2 LEGACY instruction manual and two new version 1.2 memory modules.

David Abel talks with Dr. Timothy Shanahan about the state of literacy in US schools and what the research is telling us to do differently. What “tastes” good in literacy instruction even though we know (through research) it doesn’t get good results The story behind the idea of teaching a student at their “instructional level” and why it doesn’t work as well as other methods Dr. Timothy Shanahan is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and former director of reading for the Chicago Public Schools. He is author/editor of more than 200 publications, and served on the author team of the Common Core State Standards. Professor Shanahan is past president of the International Literacy Association. He was inducted to the Reading Hall of Fame in 2007, and is a former first-grade teacher. For more information, visit his blog: www.shanahanonliteracy.com “In Chicago, we lose something like 5-7% of the ballots every election due to people just making reading mistakes. You know, it says mark two candidates and they mark three – just doing things that don’t follow the rules because they can’t understand what is put before them.
