There are some great classic literature/modern pop-culture mash-ups out there—two that immediately come to mind are Jane Austen's Fight Club and the Sassy Gay Friend treatments of Shakespearean tragedies—but I'm especially fond of "Jersey Shore Gone Wilde," a Playbill video series that promotes Brian Bedford's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest." Maybe it's my deep, abiding love of the Irish playwright, or maybe it's just the looks that the actors, "Earnest's" Jack and Algernon, David Furr and Santino Fontana, give each other after each one-liner, but I can't get enough of these clips. Imagining Wilde and The Situation in the same cultural sphere isn't a particularly easy task, but after all, didn't Wilde once write, "We are all in the gutter…"? Yeah, let's just leave it at that.

Kepier Hospital
Artist: Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus
Medium: Ink on paper
Date: 1773
Kepier Hospital lies low beside the River Wear, a little to the north of Durham city. The hospital was originally founded in 1112 alongside the Church of St Giles in the city. Bishop Puiset moved the hospital to its present site in 1153. Kepier housed a community of thirteen brethren, dedicated to the relief of the poor.
Unlike the hospitals at Greatham and Sherburn, Kepier was lost as an institution in the religious storms of the 16th century. Nonetheless, the 14th-century gatehouse range still survives much as Grimm drew it, except that its timber framing has been encased by stone walling.

Special Reports
Bravo Company soldiers rock the Casbah
They're called Stop Loss, and they make beautiful noise from their hideout, practice room and recording studio – the Third World Cantina.
Stop Loss is a garage band formed by Bravo Company soldiers. It's made up of Sgt. Lucas Kaserman of Boise on drums, Spec. R.J. Slade of Salt Lake City on bass and, on guitars, Spc. Wesley Jones of Jerome and Sgt. Matt Torres of Boise.
They play energetic and loud metal, blues and assorted hard rock in the Cantina, a spare room with mattresses lined against the walls to dampen the crushing sounds.
"It's our home away from home," Torres said.
The bandmates were strangers before the deployment, but as soon as they found out about each other, they started talking about getting instruments and starting a band.
They wrote instrument companies and said they were soldiers in Iraq. They asked for discounts on equipment, but didn't get any offers.
"We started calling our wives and frantically asking for money after we figured out there wouldn't be any freebies," Kaserman said.
They mail-ordered an electronic drum set, two electric guitars and a bass and several amps, then started playing.
Except for Kaserman, who toured with a Christian rock band, their roots are pure garage band.
"I played in a slam-ass punk band in Detroit," Jones said.
"I played in a crappy garage band once," Torres said. "Then I got deployed to Bosnia and the band broke up."
Slade had barely played an instrument before the deployment. "He kind of got thrown into the mix," Torres said. "We told him he was going to learn how to play whether he liked it or not."
The band's name comes from the military policy of requiring an involuntary extension of service. Except for Slade's, all their enlistments will be up before their deployment ends. But they have to continue their service until they return to the states at the end of their year in Iraq.
In the meantime, they find a release from the stresses of Iraq through their music and have become a band of brothers of a different sort.

The call to prayers is a daily occurrence at Patrol Base Barbarian -- actually, a five-times-per-day occurrence. The call is broadcast overloudspeakers across from the compound, and the first call to prayersis at 5 a.m., which coincidentally ends the night-time curfew.
There are three more calls during the day and the final one at sunset.During the 116th's training at Fort Bliss, Texas, the Army played call to prayers over the base's public-address system. It was a scratchy recording that sounded like someone stepping on a cat's tail.
But in Iraq, call to prayers is a softer, soulful, operatic chant. It's soothing and gentle. It's a signal for the Iraqis to pray. But they don't stop what they're doing and kneel. They usually go to a mosque to pray, not out in public.
But if they can't get to a mosque, sometimes they will pray where theyare. In one instance, I watched as an Iraqi herdsman kneeled in a field and prayed while his sheep grazed around him.

This opinion piece was written for Earthjustice and is reprinted here with permission.
The fight to protect communities from the water-polluting form of gas drilling known as horizontal hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") is moving quickly on several fronts, both local and national.
This week, officials with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are wrapping up a multi-city public hearing tour on the controversial gas extraction technique, in which drillers blast millions of gallons of chemically treated water into the Earth to force the gas from tightly packed shale deposits.
To give you an idea of how high interest has been: the last of these hearings — being held Sept. 15 in Binghamton, N.Y. — had to be postponed last month after officials realized they didn't have a space large enough to accommodate the expected 8,000-person crowd. EPA is collecting the testimony heard at these meetings to inform the agency's much-needed study into fracking's impact on drinking water.
Industry is gunning its engine at the New York border — where drilling in the Marcellus Shale deposit has yet to begin in earnest. (Live in New York? Ask the head of the state's environmental agency head not to issue gas drilling permits until the EPA study is complete.)
Elsewhere in the country, gas drilling has proceeded at a breakneck pace, predictably accompanied by poisoned water, catastrophic explosions, dying livestock and other gloomy harbingers.
The good news is that those who drink water, breathe air, and eat food from local farms far outnumber the few who stand to benefit from rushed and irresponsible drilling. And people from all corners of the country are mobilizing to protect their lives and livelihoods.
In Pennsylvania, folks are readying for a Sept. 21 day of action to pressure the state legislature to institute a gas drilling moratorium and other protections. (Live in Pennsylvania? Sign up to attend the lobby day and rally here. ***This just in: Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has clarified that it is your "God-given American right" to protest unsafe gas drilling in Pennsylvania. So now you have no excuses.)
In Wyoming, residents pushed for — and won! — disclosure of fracking chemical ingredients. It's a big first step that 1) will help scientists determine whether these chemicals are making their way into local water supplies, and 2) push industry toward the use of nontoxic products in the fracking process (Live in Wyoming? Thank the members of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission).
And nationwide, the critically acclaimed documentary Gasland is making its ways to theaters around the country, kicking off with a screening Sept. 15 in New York.
Is fracking coming to a shale deposit near you? Before the drill rigs roll in from Texas, educate your friends and neighbors. Organize a Gasland screening in your community. And ask your member of Congress to support federal protections.

Probably, every person, trying to lose weight, has interested on the real diet pills effectiveness for weight loss. When trying to find some information on the internet, people immediately face conflicting reviews about diet pills.
Some Internet bloggers enthusiastically talk on how they lost weight and show their photos before and after weight loss, as well as clothing that has become large for them. Others haven't even tried using diet pills, but write absurd negative reviews, as if they contain parasite eggs. In their opinion, parasites from the diet pills settle in human bodies and destroy all calories consumed.
Of course, the information on the Internet should be well thought of and considered with a clear mind. Thousands of successful weight loss stories only prove the fact that properly taken diet pills do help losing weight fast and maintaining it at the reached level.
But first of all, it should be noted that diet pills should be taken only after consulting a doctor. Only a specialist can choose effective diet pills and set a treatment course.
Anti-obesity pharmacotherapy with diet pills, depending on the weight loss drug chosen, can last from 3 months to 1.5 years. For example, people with cardiovascular diseases can be indicated Xenical weight loss drug, which is the gastrointestinal lipases blocker.
Xenical diet pills block fats breakdown in the digestive tract, due to which fats are not absorbed by the intestine and are excreted with the feces. These diet pills provide the effect of a fat-free diet. In other words, when a person takes Xenical, he can eat anything, but fats will not be absorbed.
The disadvantage of drugs in this class is that these diet pills cause digestion disorders. People, taking Xenical, cannot control bowel movements, being forced to wear diapers during the obesity treatment. To avoid gastrointestinal side effects in Xenical therapy, the daily diet must contain no more than 30% of fat.
Obese people with the gastrointestinal tract impairment are most commonly prescribed Duromine appetite suppressant for weight loss. Duromine affects brain function by tricking it. When a patient takes Duromine diet pills, brain receives a deceptive signal of satiety.
Given that Duromine affects brain receptors, these diet pills can be during a three-month period. Regular use of Duromine diet pills during this time can result in weight loss of up to 15% of the original weight. If necessary, you can repeat treatment with these diet pills, but not earlier than 12 weeks after the last Duromine pill.
Experts recommend starting obesity drug treatment only, if a balanced diet and increased physical activity did not lead to weight reduction. Thus, diet pills are prescribed to people, who cannot get rid of excessive weight on their own.
If you decide to lose weight quickly with Duromine diet pills, but are not sure, whether you can take these diet pills in combination with antihypertensive drugs, ask your questions by the online chat, email or phone. If you order Duromine online now, you can get a free nutritionist's advice.

In this unit I received some good insight into the different methods of teaching English. I was able to compare these various methods to what I've seen work in language classes I've either taken or helped teach in the past. I am excited to put some of these methods into use. This unit focused mostly on Engage, Study, and Activate, which was also very helpful as it offers a framework in teaching.I can now present the future tense system and try to impart good teaching methods on the future simple, the future continuous, the future perfect, the future perfect continuous, going to future, the present simple and the present continuous. It is vitally important to have a complete command of the future tenses so that my students can come across as students well versed in the English language.

In 2016 the B. Startup School Amsterdam – BSSA – opened its doors for 300 students as an answer to the growing demand for talent in the startup ecosystem. We noticed that there is a gap between the current education system and the industry. There are a ton of motivated and talented starters who just finished their bachelor's or master's degree. But the industry still considers them to be too inexperienced. With our programme we aim to bridge this gap by providing graduates the necessary skills and experience the industry is asking for.
Our programme consists of an intensive full-time course and a six-month traineeship. During the course our students work closely together with the industry to gain essential skills such as programming, growth hacking, experience design or content creation. By working on real projects for real clients and with regular feedback, our students are adaptive and fast learners. We work together with international education institutes Hyper Island, The New York Code + Design Academy and The Talent Institute to provide our students with the highest level of expertise.

"(grunt grunt pant pant heave heave)"
The same director's inexplicably Oscar-winning BIRDMAN at least did me the favor of evaporating as I sat there: I've had more memorable rides in elevators. But there's something extra-special about THE REVENANT that's going to piss me off for weeks, especially on Oscar night, when Leonardo DiCaprio wins a spectacularly ill-deserved knickknack for wearing prosthetic makeup and crawling through snow for 160 minutes. It's like a feature length film of the Quaalude scene from WOLF OF WALL STREET, but you know, not played for anything like laughs, because SERIOUS.
The story's just ridiculously simple, before it takes the turn to simply ridiculous. DiCaprio's Glass is a tracker helping a group of fur trappers in early 19th wilderness America. His trapping party is attacked by Native Americans firing CGI arrows, and a lot of the party suffers death by special effect, and what's left of the cast has to make its way back to "civilization" severely depleted and empty handed. Glass is mauled by a group of stunt coordinators hiding behind a singularly unconvincing CGI bear and as a result Glass suffers severe prosthetic makeup -- he has to lie there and cough under gallons of fake blood and latex and distressed costume material. A plot contrivance named Fitzgerald, played by Heath Ledger's vocal mannerisms from BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, rather sensibly realizes that someone suffering such hellish prosthetic makeup hasn't got long to live (Fitzgerald hasn't gotten a look at the film's running time, evidently) and abandons Glass to two hours of crawling through snow, crawling through bloody snow, encountering native Americans, crawling through more snow, riding rapids, falling off cliffs, rescuing damsels in distress (I kid you not) and so on. The film takes a final turn into revenge fantasy in its final quarter, even managing a final detour in shameless self-righteous message-mongering that just has to be seen to be laughed at.
Be warned: THE REVENANT isn't merely serious. It is SERIOUSLY SERIOUS -- it is SOLEMN, PROFOUND, SERIOUSLY SOLEMNLY PROFOUND, PROFOUNDLY SOLEMNLY SERIOUS, and PROFOUNDLY SERIOUSLY SOLEMN. It's just so serious that I found myself giggling helplessly at a couple of the more blatantly serious moments -- Mr. Hardy delivers an Oscar-clip-ready speech about God that was so stupidly written and delivered (in an accent and voice tone borrowed from Heath Ledger but without Ledger's clearer diction) that it came off like something out of BLAZING SADDLES, he's like the grizzled old prospector nobody can understand, I sat there expecting a church bell to drown him out everytime he started to speak, but no such luck, because you know, SERIOUS. Few films in my experience work so HARD to bludgeon me with their SERIOUSNESS OF SERIOUSOSITY. You can see the STRENUOUS SERIOUSNESS in every single frame, and at 24 frames a second, at two hours and forty minutes, that's a hell of a lot of bludgeons the average audience member gets subjected to. So much STRENUOUS EFFORT on the part of the cast and crew, who are all REALLY OUTSIDE in REAL COLD and REAL SNOW -- I can imagine the director carefully choosing the exact texture of snow for DiCaprio to crawl through, and precisely measuring out how much blood was going to leak out of DiCaprio's mouth at each plot juncture. It's all so airless and lifeless and carefully composed that I never once just gave in and rolled with the story, my disbelief was never suspended for a single solitary second.
There's some cool music on the soundtrack (a piece by John Luther Adams called BECOME OCEAN gets some play) and there's no denying the skill of the production, it's certainly all very professional. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, of TREE OF LIFE, THE NEW WORLD, GRAVITY and other Oscar-winning fame does his requisite splendid work, but well, I just kept feeling like I'd seen it all before -- the gorgeousness doesn't impress or move or overwhelm precisely because it is so clearly designed to impress AND move AND overwhelm, if you know what I mean. And I haven't even mentioned Glass' Native American wife who whispers to him in Malickian whispers and appears to him in Malickian/Tarkovskyan/RidleyScottian visions and and adds some sociological import to the proceedings because that's what Native Americans do in films like this. When they're not killing the heroes, that is.
And so much of it is knocked off from other filmmakers -- there's Malick (the gorgeousness of the gorgeousity, the whispered voiceovers from THE NEW WORLD and TREE OF LIFE and THIN RED LINE), there's Tarkovsky (shots are lifted straight from STALKER, NOSTALGHIA and THE MIRROR). The only thing missing, as so often with so many films in general but with Inarritu's in particular, is any reason to give a sh*t about anyone or anything in it.

Hello Fellow Sweepstakes Enthusiast!
I am right there with you. That is why I have created this listing of sweepstakes and contests available by state, all at no charge to you. Because who wants to pay for a membership service to have access to similar listings?
Whether you are brand new to this idea of entering sweepstakes or you are a 20 year veteran, I invite you to join the Sweep Your State community in this corner of the internet. I primarily offer a listing of sweepstakes that are limited to a certain state or smaller groups of states- making them more winnable because there are less people that can enter them. Most other services like this are private, for fee-paying members only. Sweep Your State has enhanced value with hobby related posts and tips to get sweepers winning more prizes, more often.
Want to save time searching for these elusive sweepstakes or contests? You have come to the right place- lets get winning!
My name is Allie and I have a knack (and passion) for finding sweepstakes that might other wise be hard to find and are limited by residency on who can enter them.
Ten years ago I was a newlywed living in Florida and I got an email from Victoria's Secret encouraging me to enter their instant win game. I was so excited at the chance to win something. I had no idea how bad my odds were on that game, and I thought my choice in the game actually affected the outcome. I didn't win, but it did inspire me to think "If they are offering this chance to win, I bet other companies are too." I took to Google and started searching for sweepstakes. One of my initial finds was an instant win for Starkist Tuna. I won a pack of tuna (woo-hoo, right?!) and I was totally hooked.
Fast forward ten years, I am now a mom living in the Midwest and I am still totally hooked. I have learned all about this hobby and put together much smarter lists of sweepstakes to enter these days. I am a freelancer who decided it was time to share my passion and start my own blog. I've been wishing there was a free listing on state or regional sweepstakes for years, and have finally decided to take matters into my own hands and offer just that for the Sweep Your State community.
I am glad you are here and hope you enjoy the listing. I will do my best to keep it up-to-date and provide a great list of winnable sweepstakes for you. In the meantime, I invite you to come on over and like the Facebook page for Sweep Your State so you can get timely updates and join in hobby related chatter.
Thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate it!

Cattle have different diet requirements that are composed of grass, legumes, silage etc. It is from the feeds that a dairy cow gets the energy to leave health, grow, produce milk and reproduction. When a cow gets sick and is unable to feed, its energy levels diminish and the cow will cut down production. In this training, we attempt to gather different materials to support a farmer on feeding cattle. Coming Soon!

Increasingly, organizations are driven by project-related work as opposed to functional type work. The repetitive functions, things like payroll, accounting, and public relations, are becoming outsourced so that people can devote more time to the real value added work of projects. The need to change is driving much of this shift away from functional work to project work. And this can range from process improvement type projects (such as Six Sigma) to short term projects such as competitive analysis profiles. Given this increased emphasis on project related work, it is now important for everyone to fully understand how to manage projects. This short course will present the principles and practices associated with project management.

In this module, you will explore the various academic discussions associated with the use of games in learning. You will be exposed to the emergent concepts in the field such as gamification, game-based learning, serious games, epistemic games and the research associated with those concepts.
The module uses Whitton's "Digital games and learning: Research and theory.", the canonical text in the field as the main text of reference. The module will be divided into five sections as that in the book: introduction, games as active learning environments, games as motivational tools, games as playgrounds, games as learning technologies. The four different parts explore the different areas of research in the use of games in education. Research methodology will also be briefly discussed here.
This module will expose to the different arguments in the research literature, both in theory and in practice. By actively parsing the contents of the module, you are to form your own insights in the field. If you are an educator yourself, this module can also inform you on the application side of game-based learning.
Enjoy the course!

Barbara Zecchi Named Director of Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies
Monday, October 16, 2017
Monday, October 16, 2017
Barbara Zecchi, professor of Spanish and Portuguese studies in the department of languages, literatures and cultures, has been named director of the interdepartmental program in film studies.
She replaces recently retired professor Cathy Portuges, whose leadership over the years was essential in building the program and establishing the Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival as a preeminent cultural event. Shawn Shimpach, communication, will serve as director of the film festival, which will celebrate its 25th season in spring 2018.
"Cathy Portuges's leadership has molded the program's collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach to the study of film," says Julie C. Hayes, dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, who jointly appointed Zecchi with dean John A. Hird of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. "Professor Zecchi's background in film theory and her prolific output of writing and video-essays in combination with her leadership uniquely qualify her for the role. I'm excited to see how she will move the program forward."
Zecchi joined the faculty in 2005. In addition to her role as professor of Spanish and Portuguese studies, she served as co-director of the Digital Humanities Institute and director of the Translation Center.
Her research and teaching interests include European and Latin American cinema, feminist film theory, film adaptation theory, gender studies and the use of technology in the humanities.
In addition to a dozen video-graphic essays presented in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Italy and Mexico, she has authored 50 articles and book chapters, three monographic books and seven edited volumes.
Her first monograph, "Desenfocadas/Out of Focus" develops an analysis of the historical evolution of women in film production through four generations of Spanish women directors. "La pantalla sexuada/The Gendered Screen" is a cross-sectional study of the major concepts that have been influential in feminist film theory. "El género del género/The Gender of Genres" (in progress) focuses on the most common genres of women film production, such as melodrama, comedy and thriller, among others.

As I've bought a full version of Traktor Scratch Pro I have sold my old license for Traktor Pro. I've contacted NI and deregistered the license but the chap I've sold it to is having difficult registering Traktor Pro since this has been done
He is getting an error stating something along the lines of 'the user
account does not hold the appropriate base unit'
Is this because this was an upgrade version of Traktor Pro? I upgraded
from Traktor LE to Traktor DJ Studio 3 to Traktor Pro over the years, and I've given him the disks, but I've not bothered to deregister them yet. Is this what's causing the problem?

What is fly fishing? The simple answer is the use of a weighted line (fly line) to cast a near-weightless lure (the fly) with a subtle presentation to a fish. The truth is, fly fishing is the easiest way to catch fish as it requires very little tackle (only a fly rod, fly line, reel and fly) to participate. The goal is a subtle presentation of a fly that mimics the natural food of a particular fish. The rest is pretty much up to the fish and your participation.
Requirements for fly fishing
Anyone can fly fish and you can practice fly casting in your backyard or local park. The next step is finding a body of water that holds fish.. most do. It doesn't even have to be trout which most think of when you hear fly fishing but panfish, bass, carp and most any saltwater fish will take eat a fly.
Discovery of fly fishing rod
Fly fishing takes you to amazing places whether it's that creek behind your house you've never had a reason to explore or that famous river across country you've been dreaming about. If you're like us you may end up planning your vacations around fishing and what a great way to explore local culture outside the tourist traps!

i don't understand the allure of these click games..

Its different for e.g. a game with a story you still experience the story when you cheat, but in a game that is ONLY about getting gold.... when you have unl. gold what else is there?
Ramezrh posted on Aug 20, 2015 5:17:34 PM - Report post
I play these kind of games sometimes. Think of it more like an office toy than a game per se. Not something you sit down and play during your free time. But something to keep your mind occupied during necessary times of boredom. I don't see the appeal of cheating at it though. It seems to defeat the purpose.

New England Speak/
I've talked about New Englanders and their accents … chowdah and lobstah, for example. Though I've been away for years and pretty much lost the accent, it's easy to slip back and every once in awhile I can hear David chuckle as I tell him I'm heading over to my "sista's" house. Beyond the accent, we also have our own vocabulary in this part of the country. Here are a few of my favorites.
The package store … does not sell packages nor do they package up stuff for shipping. No, a package store is the local term for a liquor store and we sometimes refer to it as "the packie".
How about a cabinet? Got you on this one, huh? In Rhode Island, a cabinet is another word for a frappe (silent "e"). What's a frappe, you ask? A frappe is a thick milkshake. Rhode Island also serves coffee milk: milk with coffee syrup, like chocolate milk.
We eat grinders instead of submarine sandwiches.
New Englanders love their clams. There are steamers (steamed clams) and quahogs (pronounced coh-hogs) which are super-large clams, used for clam cakes, chowdah and stuffed clams. Then there are littlenecks and cherrystones, tender little guys usually served raw with a horseradish-based cocktail sauce and lemon. And don't forget fried clams … only whole bellies, no strips! We wash it down with bee-ah or perhaps tonic. Tonic is soda elsewhere or any carbonated beverage and not necessarily Schweppes tonic water with quinine, although it could be.
If you're in a Dunkin Donuts aka Dunkies, the #1 donut shop in all of New England, and you order a regulah coffee, you'll get it with cream and two sugahs.
Wicked is a particularly well-used adjective here. It replaces "very", but in a more emphatic way. I'm not sure if it's from our heritage of witchcraft in Salem or what, but things are "wicked awesome" or "wicked weird", but rarely just wicked. Sometimes wicked is used in conjunction with frickin which is a more courteous way to say the "F" word, e.g. frickin' wicked.
Then there's a bubbler. You might know it as a water fountain or a drinking fountain elsewhere. Three deckers and triple deckers are better known as tenement houses or three-story apartment buildings in other areas of the country. The cellar (pronounced cellah) is known as the basement in other parts of the country. In fact, most times we don't even use "the", we just say "I'll take it down cellah."
Turnpike is another word for a toll road. The Mass Pike (aka Interstate 90), or simply The Pike, is probably the best known toll road in the area. Lots of toll roads in the East; not so many in the West.
Candlepin bowling allows you three tries to hit the ten narrow little pins at the end of the alley. It's the only kind of bowling I'd ever done until I moved to New York where they had the "big balls", aka ten pin bowling. Nowadays, there's both here, as well as duckpin bowling.
If you ever plan to come to Boston, you might want to learn the language. Check out The Wicked Good Guide to Boston English.
