Ladies and gentlemen, your Gotham Rogues!
Hines Ward...Willie Colon...Heath Miller...Troy Polamalu...and #7 in your program, #1 in your hearts, Ben Roethlisberger!
The Pittsburgh Steelers' QB himself confirmed that he and several of his teammates have been drafted by director Christopher Nolan to portray Gotham City's professional football team in the upcoming "Dark Knight Rises."
U.S. & World
In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Roethlisberger explained:
"I heard it's going to be a neat thing at the stadium. I don't think it will be a big part, it's not like we're chasing Batman down or anything," he joked. "From what I've heard, it's going to be like a pre-game, warming-up type thing. I don't know the whole concept. There's a Gotham team, a football game. We'll be wearing uniforms. It will be fun."
In the comics, Gotham's pro football franchise has been known as the Wildcats and the Knights (snicker). But this local Pittsburgh news report confirms they will definitely be the Rogues.
Nolan and company have been filming in Pittsburgh for the past few weeks, and although Roethlisberger doesn't think he and his teammates (Maurkice Pouncey, LaMarr Woodley, Mike Wallace, Aaron Smith, Ryan Clark, James Farrior, and Casey Hampton also participated) will see much action, an official casting notice suggests otherwise. The notice indicates that filming at Heinz Field will involve "LOTS [sic] of special effects and stunt men," adding "Nothing is ever as it seems in Gotham City, especially at such a high profile game."
That seems to be confirmed by this video shot by an extra at Heinz Field. Boom goes the dynamite.
As cool as this is, it does set a dangerous precedent...
"Dark Knight Rises" doesn't actually hit theaters until next year.

That massive Leatherman multi-tool on your belt probably comes in really handy during emergencies, but not on a catwalk. If you want to be prepared for whatever life throws out you and look fashionable, you'll want to consider Wenger's HypeX line.
Consisting of six stripped down lightweight tools that can be worn as pendants hanging from an included silicone necklace, the HypeX pieces include implements for starting fires, sharpening blades, tightening screws, stripping wires, and of course opening bottles and corks. They'll be available starting in June for around £40 to £70, with more sports-oriented models coming later in the year. [Wenger via Gizmag]

It is plain to see how Europe's 'union' is falling apart in front of our eyes. And the EU only has itself to blame for this development.
Why is it that European countries are increasingly returning to nation-state thinking? It is obviously because they no longer trust the EU to make a positive contribution to their problems.
Over the past decades, Brussels has become synonymous with a distant bureaucracy that, despite its far-reaching competencies, is failing to find answers to Europe's most pressing challenges. The EU has not made convincing progress on fighting the economic and monetary crisis. It is not showing a pathway out of the refugee and migration crisis. It has no attractive vision of where it wants to take the continent.
Out of this frustration comes the widespread desire to seek refuge in national solutions. In doing so, Europe may not be returning to a situation where war between neighbouring countries become a possibility. That, at least, seems something that Europe has fortunately left behind. But the peaceful spirit of co-operation certainly does not exist anymore either.
For the EU to survive this crisis of trust, there is only one option. It needs to respect the growing dissatisfaction with its institutions and stop its integration agenda. It may even be forced to turn back the clock and return some powers to its member states, such as the right to discriminate against other EU citizens when it comes to eligibility for benefits.
But such a strategic withdrawal might be a price worth paying for protecting some other features of European integration that are worth keeping.
Instead, what the EU is doing seems the complete opposite. Instead of a strategic withdrawal, European elites still want to push integration even further. They are unwilling to concede that such increased integration is responsible for precisely the backlash the EU is experiencing at the moment.
As ironic as it seems, it is the EU's overreach that could turn out to be its own undoing.
And it could be the failure of the EU's supranationalism that will trigger a widespread return of the nation-state.
My commentary:
Dr. Hartwich is right in his analysis about the failure of the EU, but he does not quite seem to realize that a return of the nation-state is not a bad thing - on the contrary! Unification, supranationalism and "empire" are the root causes of the problem, and the less of these there are, the better! And if the present nation-states are divided into even smaller units (an independent Scotland, Catalonia, Bavaria etc.) we will have a better Europe!

LaQuita Suggs always had a fascination with the way people deal with death — even if her mother thought she was a little morbid.
While studying social work in college, Suggs volunteered to go to hospitals to talk to families in the moments after they had lost a loved one. When she later became a counselor, she worked with clients whose grief was sometimes difficult to comprehend.
There were the children whose father had shot their mother to death. In one grim moment, five siblings lost both their parents.
The eldest girl witnessed the killing, and Suggs worked with her to process the grief. Suggs encouraged her to keep a journal of her thoughts. The two did an exercise called the empty chair, in which the client speaks to the space as though it were the lost loved one.
Although Suggs had never experienced the traumatic loss of a close family member like the children, she was confident that her compassion and knowledge could help her clients.
But only through her own grief would she be able to realize her strength in helping others.
On April 29, 2007, a Sunday afternoon, Suggs, then 35, wasn't feeling well. She napped on and off in the Compton home she shared with her two sons and her mother, Ella.
When she woke about 1 p.m., her youngest son, Cameron Young, told her that Grandma — who was known for being punctual — still wasn't home.
Ella Suggs, 53, liked finding trinkets, and on that day, ventured out to pick up groceries and to check out thrift stores. Around her neck was a necklace with a charm in the shape of a turtle shell. Ella thought turtles were good luck.
Suggs began calling Ella's cellphone. She felt panic rise with each ring. After calling everyone who would know of Ella's whereabouts, Suggs, Cameron and her oldest son, Atwan Williams, got into the car.
They drove by a nearby shopping center that Ella liked to visit. Yellow tape blocked off an area near a bus stop, but it looked like the scene of a car accident.
After the evening dragged on, Suggs became more desperate. She called out Ella's name. "Where are you?" she yelled.
She called hospitals, drove the streets again and stopped at the L.A. County Sheriff's Department's Compton station to file a missing persons report.
"What happened in the shopping center?" she asked.
Instead of answering, the deputy at the desk told her to go home.
At 10:25 p.m., two detectives in pressed suits knocked on her door. All it took was a single question for her to know.
"Was Ella Suggs your mother?"
The killing seemed random and senseless. To cope, Suggs focused on the details of the crime.
Ella had gone to Ralphs to do some shopping. She bought turkey breast, Texas toast, two tomatoes and Salisbury steak, among other items. About 1 p.m., she walked to a nearby bus stop and sat down.
That's when 31-year-old Charles Leon Elmore walked up to her and stabbed her with a sharpened paintbrush, authorities say. He might have been trying to rob her. The turtle shell necklace was never found.
Elmore walked back to the bus stop about 10 minutes later and was identified by witnesses who were being interviewed by deputies. It took four deputies to subdue Elmore, who screamed, "I didn't do it."
The next day, Suggs drove to the bus stop. Were there bloodstains on the sidewalk? Would she be able to see evidence of suffering? Did her mother leave anything behind? There was nothing to see.
Suggs was lost, unable to apply the strategies that she had used to help others.
Her mother was quiet and thoughtful. She had left Memphis with her daughter, then 10, to escape an abusive husband. For this strong woman to have survived that relationship only to end up being killed by a stranger was incomprehensible to Suggs.
She read everything she could about the crime in "investigative mode," she says. She visited the cemetery on a near-daily basis with her children, until someone said she might want to leave the kids at home. She attended each court date, no matter how insignificant.
Deputy L.A. County Dist. Atty. Allyson Ostrowski, who prosecuted the case, knew that Suggs needed to be there.
"You could tell she was going through something," Ostrowski said, "and this was part of her process."
After Suggs' mother was killed, she questioned her skills as a therapist. She had always wanted to help people but wondered whether she had been blind to matters of grief.
Now, perhaps, her own pain could help her clients.
The first patient Suggs saw after her mother's death was a woman whose daughter had been killed in an altercation. Suggs remembered the hollowness she felt after her mother's stabbing, so she asked, how do you deal with the emptiness?
The woman gasped. How do you know about that, she asked. Suggs told her her story.
"Everything I felt like I needed, I apply in my sessions," she said recently.
She'll ask, how many times have you forgotten to breathe? How many times have you seen the person in your dream?
When a client is anticipating a trial or another phase of the judicial process, Suggs will remember how much patience it took to get through the two years of proceedings in her mother's case.
On March 6, 2009, Elmore was found guilty of first-degree murder and later sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. No one prepared her for the resurgence of emotions she felt after the verdict and eventual appeals, so now, she tries to brace her clients for the inevitable delays.
After the trial, Suggs decided to seek therapy. She didn't connect with the counselor. She then went to a support group where the others in attendance were dealing with the natural death of a loved one. The facilitator told her she didn't belong there.
"I became angry immediately because I was already feeling like I didn't belong, I was already feeling lost," she said.
Suggs took to writing in a journal and blogging to document her experience. When memories of her mother began fading, she wrote them down. Now, she tells her clients it's OK not to remember everything; it doesn't mean you love them any less — a realization Suggs had to make.
Gradually, she began specializing in grief. Suggs, who now lives in Bellflower, quit her job with the L.A. County Department of Mental Health and began working with a nonprofit agency in South L.A. that aids homeless adults and families. She signed up to work with victims of crime through the district attorney's Victim-Witness Assistance Program and was honored for her services in 2009.
"She's just a caring, patient person," said Donna Burns, a victim service representative with the county, who nominated her for the award.
Ostrowski, the attorney, said that since the trial, she's kept in touch with Suggs, and has recommended her services. Suggs is trying to turn a negative — her mother's death — into a positive by helping others, Ostrowski said.
"She can completely understand where someone's coming from," she said. "That's what people need."
On the anniversary of a death, Suggs knows, clients can have a difficult time deciding what to do with their day. Sometimes, they feel guilty that the anniversary is becoming a normal day.
On April 29, Suggs did something different. For the first time since her mother's murder, she went to work.
Her supervisor, who typically marks the day on her own calendar, was shocked to see her.
"I'm OK," Suggs told her.
In the afternoon, she took a break to visit the cemetery.
She hadn't been yet this year, so she took a pair of scissors to scrape off any dirt that had accumulated in the marble gravestone's words: Loving Mother & Grandmother Ella L. Suggs
"The grave is always a reminder that it's real, it's not a dream," she said.
Beside her, her older son, Atwan, 23, planted yellow and white roses.
Before 3:11 p.m. — the time her mother died — Suggs left the cemetery. Then she went back to work.

Halle Berry Spends Mother's Day with Daughter Nahla and Fiancé Olivier Martinez
"My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that," she says
With her growing baby bump on full display, Halle Berry stepped out for a midday Mother's Day celebration in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
Wearing flip-flops and a sleek purple halter dress set off by long metallic chain necklaces, Berry, 46, joined daughter Nahla, 5, and fiancé Olivier Martinez, 47, for a casual lunch date at Riva Bella restaurant.
Berry, who confirmed her pregnancy in April, said that Mother's Day is a fun holiday for her because she doesn't have to do the party planning.
"My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that," she told reporters on Saturday while hosting the 20th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women.
"I'm the planner and I'm the one that organizes, and on Mother's Day I get to just be taken care of."

Let me begin by noting that I know quite little about category theory. So forgive me if the title is too vague, if the question is trivial, and if the question is written poorly.
Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be categories. Say that a functor $T: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ has property X (maybe there is a real name for this property?) if a morphism $f: A \to B$ between objects of $\mathcal{C}$ is an isomorphism whenever $T(f): T(A) \to T(B)$ is an isomorphism. For example, the obvious forgetful functor $CH \to Set$ where $CH$ is the category of compact Hausdorff spaces has property X because a continuous bijection from a compact space to a Hausdorff space is automatically a homeomorphism.
Here is my question. Is there a (nontrivial) functor $T: LCH \to \mathcal{D}$ from the category of locally compact Hausdorff spaces to some category $\mathcal{D}$ with property X? Even better, can we assume that $LCH$ is a subcategory of $\mathcal{D}$ and that $T$ is a forgetful functor?
I don't care to specify what I mean by "nontrivial", except that the "identity" functor from $LCH$ to itself doesn't count. I want it to be genuinely easier to decide whether or not a morphism is an isomorphism in $\mathcal{D}$. If there happen to be lots of ways to do this, perhaps it will help to know that my interest comes from some problems in analysis.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to all who are eager to know about Shoptimized.com reviews. So lets begin our Shoptimized review. Shoptimized.com is an online selling website claiming to sell products on very unrealistic and cheap prices. How is even that possible. Shoptimized review is of the view that Shoptimized is offering unbelieveable discount to attract the customers attension. However be always careful while buying online. Following suggestion will help you a lot.
It is good to be prudent and it is absolutely vital to verify that a website is secure before sharing personal information (such as credit card numbers, passwords, addresses, etc.). In this guide, I offer quick and easy tips to avoid suspicious URLs and verify the reliability of any website.
1. Use browser security tools
Currently, the most popular web browsers already include security features to increase network protection. These built-in browser tools can block annoying pop-ups, send Do Not Track requests to websites so they don't track it, disable unsafe Flash content , prevent malicious downloads and control which sites can access your webcam , your microphone , etc.
2. Use a website security checking tool
You can use a tool like Google Safe Browsing to quickly check if a website or a specific URL is safe. According to its page, "Google's secure browsing technology examines billions of URLs daily for unsecured websites," which makes it a great website security checking tool. Just copy and paste the URL into the search box and press Enter . Ready! Google Safe Browsing will check the URL and inform you about your reputation in just a few seconds. As simple as that.
Google knows the web; including which sites are dangerous.
Whichever site checker you choose, be sure to add the page to your bookmarks for later use; It is especially important to check the security of the URL before doing something sensitive, such as entering your credit card information.
3. Thoroughly check URLs
In addition, there is a simple way to perform your own security review of a website: check the URL. In other words, make sure you know where a link leads before clicking on it. How? Hover over any link to see the URL to which it is associated.
Mouse over the link above, but do not click. In Firefox and Chrome, you should see the URL to which it links in the lower left of the browser:
You can also check the URLs in Safari, but it requires an extra step. First, click on the Display menu and then select Show Status Bar . Now, when you hover your mouse over the link, you'll see where it leads in the lower left corner of the screen.
Also check that the addresses are well written. Most Internet users do not stop much to read the texts. The hackers know this and often replace some other similar characters (eg "facebooke.com" instead of "facebook.com") to deceive and make their visit phishing pages and provide them unconsciously their passwords, credit card numbers and other private data . Do not fall into the trap. It takes nothing to check if a URL is secure. And worth it
4. Search for HTTPS
Another way to make sure that any site you visit is safe is to verify that you use HTTPS. HTTP ( hypertext transfer protocol ) is the basic protocol for transmitting data between the web browser and the pages that are visited. HTTPS is simply the safe version of this protocol. (The "S" means "safe.")
The HTTPS is often used to make purchases and bank transactions, since it encrypts communications to prevent criminals from stealing confidential information, such as your credit card number or passwords .
And how do you know if a website uses HTTPS? Find the padlock in the navigation bar. If you see it, you will know that the site you are using uses a trusted SSL digital certificate; In other words, the connection is protected.
Image of the address bar of the Google Chrome browser with the green padlock inside a circle
If you don't see the lock, buy somewhere else.
However, this is not a magic formula. Some phishing websites may use HTTPS to impersonate legitimate sites. But what you should never forget is this: if a website does not have the lock, do not enter your password or your credit card number.
5. Look for the privacy policy
If you are already on the website, but could not say that it is a legitimate one, look for the privacy policy. Trusted websites have a page with the privacy policy, since it is mandatory in many countries. Therefore, take a few seconds to find your privacy policy.
The privacy policy is often found at the bottom of the page, in small print. The privacy policy is often found at the bottom of the page, in small print.
What happens if the privacy policy is incomprehensible? Unfortunately, privacy policies are often full of legal jargon and can be difficult to understand. It's a good idea to look for words like "third parties," "data," "store," "save," and similar terms such as Ctrl-F (or Command-F on Mac) to understand how your site handles your data and what you plan to do with it. (how to keep them forever or sell them to third parties ).
Now we are getting out of the way a bit, since many legitimate sites can also follow suspicious data practices, such as Facebook. Still, it is still a good idea to make sure that the site you are using at least has a privacy policy, as it is a good indicator of authenticity.
6. Do not blindly trust the "trust" badges
Badges or "seals" of trust often appear on e-commerce sites in an attempt to appear reliable.
Some examples of trusted stamps that you can see while shopping.
Source: https://www.pngfind.com/mpng/iihmhRb_secure-and-safe-checkout-transparent-paypal-trust-badges/
Some legitimate sites use them. But they are not so difficult to add. Lots of sites simply copy and paste those icons, without any real security measures to back them up. In fact, there are many articles that advise e-commerce sites to create their own trusted seals to increase sales.
In theory, you should be able to click on the trust seal and see if you can verify it. In practice, this often does not work very well, whether in legitimate or fraudulent sites. But, it is really important to perform some errands, especially before making any purchase online .
What can you do as a user? Try searching: "Is [e-commerce store] a scam?" or "evaluations of [e-commerce store]". If it is a scam, you will undoubtedly find many publications from people who complain that they have not received their orders or other problems. If you can't find anything, it's better to avoid that particular store and look for another one with better reviews.
7. Know some obvious signs that a site is fake
Sometimes, a website has such a dubious appearance that you can immediately notice it without having to formally check the reputation of that site. If you accidentally end up on a website like that, there are some fairly obvious signs of malware that you can search for:
Site with spam : if a site has many intermittent warnings or exclamation marks, it is probably a scam. (And, anyway, who wants to read a site with strobe lights?)
Pop-up windows: if you reach a site and lots of pop-up sales start to appear, it is best to close them all immediately and leave the site.
Malicious redirects: if you are immediately redirected to a completely different website, especially if this is doubtful, it is a malicious redirect. It may mean that the original site is fake or it may be a legitimate one that has been attacked by malware that has hidden code on the site. The original site may not have malicious intentions, but until they delete your code, you don't want to be there.
Search engine warnings: When you are searching for something, the search engine (such as Google) may display warnings next to some links, such as: "This site may have been hacked" or "Visiting this site may be harmful to your computer ". Although these warnings are not 100% accurate, it is a good idea to choose an alternative option.
8. Use whois to search for the domain owner
Need to know who is behind a specific website? Perform a search on whois (pronounced as "who is", who is) to find out who owns the domain, where and when the website was registered, contact details and other information. It's very simple and when he does he will feel like a private detective. Try here a search on whois … it should help you determine if the site is fraudulent.
Image from the whois page, where you can find information about who is behind a website
Type any URL to find out who is really behind.
9. Call the company
Are you still doubting if the company is legit? Search your contact details and call. Seriously, you can find out many things depending on how they respond. If the number does not exist, or if someone answers as a teenager with a "Uncle, is that you?", You will know that this matter smells bad. Trust your instinct.
Where are the contact details of a website? At the top or bottom of the home page, look for the "Contact" or "About us" link. Or use the whois search (tip # 8) to see if a phone number appears there.
10. Install web security tools
Download a trusted AntiVirus to enjoy essential protection.

Game Recap: Kings 74, Wizards 62
The Sacramento Kings (5-1) earned a spot in the Samsung NBA Summer League Championship with their convincing 74-62 victory over the Washington Wizards (5-1) Sunday at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center. Sacramento used a 39-10 run that spanned the first and second quarters to outdistance itself from Washington to earn its fifth straight victory in Las Vegas.
The Kings will square off against the Houston Rockets (5-2), who are also riding a five-game winning streak of its own, in Monday's title bout at 6:00 pm.
Trailing 7-4, Sacramento scored six straight points to turn the game's momentum in its favor. Nik Stauskas, the eighth overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, got things going — a 14-4 run — with a game-tying 3-pointer moments before Quincy Acy sank a go-ahead free throw. The Kings wound up outscoring the Wizards 10-4 the remainder of the period.
Sacramento kept the pedal down in the second as its lead grew to as much as 26 points — 43-17 — with a 25-6 run that lasted the initial 7:29 of the stanza.
In all, the Kings had nine different players contribute at least two points in the massive 39-10 outburst. Stauskas (five points), Acy (two), Eric Moreland (two) and Ray McCallum (five) combined for the first 14 points that sparked the first-quarter offensive. MarShon Brooks scored 14 in the second quarter alone to couple with 11 more from a combination of Jared Cunningham (three), Ra'shad James (two), Brendan Lane (two) and Ben McLemore (two).
Sacramento took a 21-point lead into intermission and maintained a healthy distance until Washington rattled off a 19-5 run to pull within seven in the early stages of the fourth quarter. The spurt began with 5:11 remaining in the third and the Wizards trailing by 21. Otto Porter (seven), Glen Rice Jr. (five), Jarell Eddie (five) and Daniel Theis (two) combined to pull their team within single digits for the first time since early in the second frame.
That seven-point margin was the closest Washington would get to Sacramento as the lead grew to as much as 17 midway through the final stanza.
Sacramento was paced by a quartet of players in double figures. Brooks paced the team with 14, while McCallum added 11 to 10 apiece from Acy and Cunningham. Moreland, who had six points, led all players with 12 rebounds — 10 of which came on the defensive boards.
Rice Jr. had a game-high 24 points for the Wizards behind an 8-for-23 day from the field. He sank one 3-pointer and made all seven free throws.

Story highlights
- Valinsky: I don't need AM/FM anymore
- Author was a radio listener in high school
- In college, he turned to the Internet and iTunes
- "I would say it's time to turn off the radio for good," says Valinsky
Listening to the radio was something I did -- when I was a teenager.
Just take my middle and high school years where every morning, at 6:55, I flipped on my Walkman and began the trudge down the hill to the bus stop. It was tuned to B94, which was Pittsburgh's "Today's Hit Music" station. Every day, the crazy -- and at that time seemingly raunchy -- antics of its morning show with John, Dave, Bubba and Shelly made me excited to be awake.
Although the show offered really nothing of value to enrich my life, like a sugary drink, it didn't have to. In those 40 minutes on the bus, there was adequately funny banter (which in hindsight, was terrible), vital information of what happened in Hollywood overnight, and most importantly, today's hottest music.
The Pussycat Dolls, then Natasha Bedingfield, and that one Fort Minor song? If I heard that lineup again, High School Me would probably melt in happiness. But my radio listening habits didn't end at 7:45 a.m. After school, I probably listened to the same set of music. The only difference was the afternoon slot felt like it was filled with endless commercials that didn't air in the morning.
But it all stopped when I went to college.
The pop music station in my new home, a small Ohio town, couldn't match the "talents" of John, Dave, Bubba and Shelly (although it was not like I was awake at 7 a.m. to listen). While I was slinking into my late teens, the playlist of that low-budget station felt like it was stuck in my middle-school years. By then, I was also hooked to my family's satellite radio account, which was like terrestrial radio without all of those terrible commercials for car dealerships or rug outlets.
And discovering new music on the Internet around that time became easier. I trawled through iTunes' constantly updated charts. My friends posted recommendations on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, which substituted for radio stations plugging whatever artist their corporate parent suggested. Also, my dorm's high-speed Internet connection allowed me to stream music from noncommercial stations all around the world, like BBC Radio 1, to see what we would be listening to stateside in another six months.
After college, I moved to Austin, Texas, a traffic-prone town where you would spend more time in your car than at your destination. But when I pulled into the city in 2012, I didn't even bother to reset my car's radio to the local stations. It wasn't necessary. Most if not all of the time, I was plugged into my satellite radio or my app-filled iPhone, which played a steady stream of commercial-free music catering to my tastes. For my friends and me, the car's auxiliary outlet killed the radio star.
Now I'm 24 and the radio's relevancy is fading faster than driving out of a signal's reach. The Internet has made me an an "on-demand" listener, meaning I can listen to any song, from any artist, at any time. From music apps, websites (like Soundcloud), and the blogs, there are literally millions of sources to discover new music. I can listen to a new song seconds after it's released and not wait days, or even weeks, before the radio bothers to play it.
And, ugh, those cheesy DJs are no longer polluting my listening experience with their allegedly wacky and zany gags. The definition of DJ has shifted from John, Dave, Bubba and Shelly, to actual, physical DJs, who spin "records" like Diplo or Avicii.
It's not just me. Every morning, my wretched millennial friends awake to freshly brewed tunes from our favorite blogs. New music from my friends fills up my Spotify inbox at a seemingly never-ending pace (and vice versa). I would be scared to hear how loud the laugh would be if anyone asked if we'd discovered a half-decent new song on the radio in the past five years. I don't know even know what channel to find that on!
Since the iPhone has replaced my Walkman, my friends have replaced the DJs, and the ability to listen to whatever I want at any given moment kicked out radio stations' playlists, I would say it's time to turn off the radio for good. But I already did that five years ago.

The top 10: our favourite looks from the Met Gala 2018
Image via Time
The theme for this year's Met Gala was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and the creative genius' behind these incredible haute show-stopping pieces did not disappoint. Here we have rounded up our favourite looks of the evening, say a little prayer for your favourite and check out the top 10 to see if it made the cut.
10. Diane Kruger in Prabal Gurung
Considered by her European fans as the queen of style, Kruger does not disappoint sporting the New York cult designer, Prabal Gurung. The soft powder blue ruching on the never-ending train combined with the structured and detailed skirt helps to frame the actress as the angel Gabriel herself.

9. Jennifer Lopez in Balmain
Is it just us, or is J Lo getting younger and more stunning as time goes on? The Latino princess of pop slays as the newest member of Olivier Rousteing's Balmain army. Que Fuego!

8. Blake Lively in Versace
When Lively stepped out of her hotel linking arms with shoe god, Christian Louboutin, sporting a Versace robe we knew this look was going to be big. Never did we expect this amount of volume and detail to be draped around the queen of the Met steps herself, Ms Serena Van der Woodsen.

7. Jasmine Sanders in H&M
The model's wraithlike gown, created by the high street brand H&M, was a show-stopper but it was her astonishing braid that confirmed her spot in the top 10. Created by hairstylist Renda Attia, this braid is truly something from the Garden of Eden.

6. Priyanka Chopra in Ralph Lauren
Sporting the classic American designer, Ralph Lauren, Chopra wowed in this deep burgundy velvet gown. While we've seen plenty of crowns, crosses, and even some looks inspired by Jesus himself, the actress' stunning jeweled hood made for a truly unique take on the religious gala theme.

5. Kate Bosworth in Oscar de la Renta
With the late Oscar de la Renta creating her real life wedding dress in 2013, it is only fitting that Bosworth pay homage to the king of bridal in this sacred gown. The distinctive Italian hair and make up finishes off the look perfectly, giving her a spot in our top 5.

4. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Ralph Lauren
Never ceasing to amaze at the Met gala year in and year out, here Rosie wows in the most ethereal silhouette of the evening. Topped off with the perfect headpiece to finish the look, Rosie is going straight to fashion heaven.

3. & 2. Lana Del Ray and Jared Leto
With Gucci's creative director, Alessandro Michele by their side, Lana del Ray and Jared Leto are quite literally a match made in heaven. Along with the incredible gold embellishment and embroidered panelling, the stand-out of this Gucci look for me is Lana's angelic feathered headpiece.

And the moment you have been waiting for...
1. Rihanna in Maison Margiela
Topping the list, is our favourite and first ever female Pope, Cardinal Rihanna- Praise be! The total look designed by the unparalleled king of couture, John Galliano, must have weight an absolute tonne, but Rihanna made it look light as a feather with her larger-than-life presence. Move over Queen Bey, all hail Queen Rhi.

Taking Maybin's spot, Decker gets first call to bigs
SAN DIEGO -- As soon as Jaff Decker got to his locker in the Padres' clubhouse Wednesday morning, various teammates kept coming up to him to congratulate him -- and comment on his long hair.
When Decker's name was missing from the Padres' lineup card, veteran Mark Kotsay took the liberty to add it in red marker.
The club recalled Decker, an outfielder, from Triple-A Tucson, for the first time in his career.
"It's a great feeling coming in here and being welcomed like that," Decker said of all the affection he received.
The 23-year old left-hander -- pronounced Jeff, and spelled like his uncle, who passed away in the military -- hit .240 this season in the Minors, with five homers and 20 RBIs.
Decker got 40 at-bats in Spring Training and had a batting average of .175 with one home run, five RBIs and 11 strikeouts, which he said could help him.
"Just getting used to big league pitching and being around the guys learning a lot," Decker said.
Decker got the call late Tuesday night around midnight. His dad, mom, sister and some friends all made the trip from Arizona for Wednesday's game against the Braves.
He replaces outfielder Cameron Maybin, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. However, Maybin is expected to miss a minimum of six weeks after he tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Sunday.
"We needed an outfielder, and I think it was time-related with Tucson being in Fresno [on Tuesday] and what we found out about Cam," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He [Decker] can play defense and give us another player on the bench. Without Cam, we were down to a four-man bench."
Maybin was hitting .157 with one home run and five RBIs in 51 at-bats this season, and had previously missed 45 games with a right wrist impingement.
"It's frustrating for Cam," Black said. "Out of the chute, he didn't get off to a good start and then the wrist was a problem. Then he was finally starting to feel better where he was physically. He was ready to get into his season. This has been a tough first half for Cam."

After they start to reach a nice size, large branches start dying off. They see a lot of chainsaw action.My cherries are in mortal combat with the rabbits. I finally resorted to putting beautiful looking orange snow fence around them to keep the rabbits at bay this winter :-D I've also found that lot of bugs like to eat cherry :(

OCEAN CITY — Last week we began our look at the changing face of life insurance, and this week let's continue.
Whether you use an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) or not, purchasing life insurance as part of an inheritance should be part of a comprehensive financial strategy. Unlike many other investment vehicles, an insurance policy will lapse if you stop paying premiums —meaning you can lose what you've already put in.
"Often couples will wait a few years after retiring before establishing an ILIT, when they know how much they are spending on their retirement lifestyle and what their excess income is each year," says Gothers.
The funding for an ILIT might come from an IRA's required minimum distributions, income from municipal bonds or dividend income, for instance. Potential future expenses also need to be considered before committing to paying the life insurance policy's annual premiums.
Life insurance doesn't have to benefit only your heirs. You can use a life insurance policy as a tax-advantaged investment vehicle to provide cash during retirement or for other liquidity needs, such as college tuition. "A permanent life insurance contract has all the advantages of a Roth IRA but none of the limitations," says Gothers.
Like a Roth IRA, you invest after-tax dollars. You pay the premiums each year and have the option of investing additional premiums that grow tax-deferred and can be withdrawn or borrowed free of income tax. When funds are taken from the insurance contract's cash value, the basis, or premiums paid, is taken first. Since premiums are paid with after-tax dollars, the funds are withdrawn tax-free.
When the basis is exhausted, additional funds may be taken via loans if there is sufficient value in the policy.* Because the event is a loan, it is not a taxable event. Also, there are no income restrictions that may make you ineligible to contribute, there are no set contribution limits, and the additional 10% income tax will not apply if you tap the funds before you're 59½.
Although life insurance can be a vehicle for tax-efficient investing, it is, first and foremost, life insurance. The federal tax laws require that you maintain a death benefit in the contract to get the full tax advantages, which means you can't withdraw the policy's entire cash value. "You also have to keep the contract until you die, and policy fees are still taken from the cash each year, even though you may no longer be paying premiums," says Gothers.
Fees, including the cost of insurance charges, an annual investment management fee, and a mortality and expense charge, can be 2% per year or even higher. But the flexibility of life insurance makes it a useful asset.
There are many types of life insurance available. Some products potentially build cash value. The cash value can build in a variety of ways depending on the type of insurance policy: It can build through the insurance company's general account that typically has a periodically declared fixed interest rate; it can accumulate dividends; or it could grow through underlying investment options embedded in the polic
"Life insurance is complex, so before you use it for estate or retirement planning, discuss it with your financial advisor, who can make sure the features of a particular policy are right for you," Gothers notes. "When life insurance is part of your overall long-term financial strategy, it can enhance your own financial security as well as that of your heirs."

Last week, Edmonton Oilers winger Taylor Hall went to see Cloud Atlas, and he did not enjoy it. Hall went on Twitter to express his displeasure with the film, at which point this exchange with his teammate Ryan Whitney took place:
The movie hasn't gotten rave reviews, so Hall's sentiment is at least understandable. But come on, Whitney. It's a long book. Have some patience.
Anyway, if you're a hockey a player, it might be best to just avoid Cloud Atlas in all forms. We don't even know if Nuge, schultzy, and ebs made it out OK.

|The Challenge
Create a mobile solution that helps caregivers of loved ones affected by Heart Failure regain control over their lives and provide more effective daily care.
Heart Failure Overview:
Heart failure (HF) is not the literal failing of the heart, but rather its deterioration over time due to the inability to pump enough blood and oxygen to support other organs. Every 30 seconds, someone in the US is hospitalized for HF.
Heart failure typically affects people at an average age of 65 and impacts their lives in widespread ways, from managing their diet and exercise in entirely new ways to sticking to a strict medicine schedule. This often uproots the lives of patients, and that burden is often equally felt by the caregiver who is suddenly in an entirely new role with lots of responsibility and little idea where to start.
Caregivers are responsible for the care of a loved one who is afflicted by some form of chronic illness. Caregivers come in many forms - wives/husbands, sons/daughters as well as certain health care professionals.

J. J. Maloney, an award-winning journalist and founder and editor of Crime Magazine, passed away December 31, 1999, at his mother's home in Webster Groves, Mo. He was 59.
Mr. Maloney, who lived in Kansas City, had been visiting his mother for the holidays. He suffered from acute bronchial congestion and had recently undergone a bout with pneumonia. He was an inveterate smoker.
Mr. Maloney launched Crime Magazine, an Internet publication, on October 26, 1998. He described the site (www.crimemagazine.com) as "an encyclopedia of crime: from prisons and parole to serial killers and assassinations, books and movies to unsolved murders and fugitives, from gangsters to cops." Crime Magazine is one of the Internet's most frequently visited sites about true crime. The site has garnered seven Internet awards, including the Medaille d'Or for Web Site Excellence and the Gold Star for Outstanding Quality from Juno Enterprises. In addition, Mr. Maloney was crime editor for ODP, an Internet clearinghouse.
Born in St. Louis in 1940, Mr. Maloney spent 3 1/2 years in reform schools and 13 years in prison, serving four life sentences for a murder and armed robbery he committed at age 19. As a convict, Mr. Maloney educated himself and became an artist, poet and eventually a book reviewer for the Kansas City Star. In 1972 he was paroled and began work the next day as a part-time reporter for the Kansas City Star.
By January of 1973, Mr. Maloney had been hired full-time as a reporter for The Star. The prison series he co-authored with Harry Jones, Jr., won the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel, and the Kansas Bar/Media Award.
By 1977, Mr. Maloney was one of the newspaper's top investigative reporters, and did most of the paper's coverage of the Mafia's infiltration of River Quay.
"When The Kansas City Star hired J. J. Maloney as a reporter in 1972, it hired more than a convicted murderer with literary talent. It hired a lightning rod," said Arthur Brisbane, then the editor of The Star and later the public editor of The New York Times, upon the publication in 1992 of Mr. Maloney's book The Pariah's Handbook, A Literary Guide to the Underworld.
"For six years, Maloney managed to be where the fire and thunder raged. Sometimes he sparked trouble himself. He was a controversial figure who battled crooks and editors, not necessarily in that order. He also inspired loyalty in some, who saw in him the stuff of greatness," Brisbane said.
In early 1980, Mr. Maloney, as a reporter for The Register in Orange County, Calif., broke the Freeway Killer Story and coined the phrase "Freeway Killer." At one point the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department publicly said the Freeway Killer was a figment of The Register's imagination. William Bonin was subsequently arrested, convicted of 14 murders, and executed in early 1996. After Bonin's arrest, Maloney went on television and revealed the existence of a second freeway killer and that man, Randy Craft, is presently awaiting execution in California.
Mr. Maloney had two stints as editor of the New Times, an alternative newspaper in Kansas City that ceased publishing at the end of October 1997. From September 1991 through December 1993, he was the paper's first editor. After working five years as a paralegal and investigator for Willard Bunch, a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Maloney returned to the New Times in May of 1997 to write a two-part investigative report based on his final case with Mr. Bunch.
In the understated, straight-forward, piston-driving prose that distinguished his writing from as far back as his prison days, he recounted in scrupulous detail how an ATF agent and an assistant U.S. attorney conspired to frame five innocent people in the deaths of six Kansas City firefighters tragically killed in 1988. The articles further revealed the charade of a trial a U.S. District judge presided over that culminated in the convictions of all five defendants, and their subsequent sentencing to life in prison without the possibility of parole. For these articles, the Missouri Bar Association awarded Mr. Maloney its "Excellence in Legal Journalism Award." The complete text of these articles, along with many other of Mr. Maloney's articles and essays, is available on this web site.
In the course of working for The Kansas City Star and The Register in Orange County, Mr. Maloney was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize five times. He won the American Bar Association's highest award, The Silver Gavel, and he was the winner of the American Society of Newspaper Publishers award for the Best Investigative Story.
Mr. Maloney is the author of two novels, I Speak for the Dead (1982) and The Chain (1986) and a volume of poetry, Beyond the Wall (1973). He is survived by his mother, Bernice Siebel of Webster Groves, Mo., who visited her son in prison every month without fail and who wrote him a letter every single day he was incarcerated. Mr. Maloney was buried in Sunset Cemetery in Afton, Mo.

Elder Holland Tells Missionaries to "Invest" in the Work
Contributed By By R. Scott Lloyd, Church News staff writer
Article Highlights
- Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke to missionaries at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, on January 15.
- This generation will help prepare the Church for the Second Coming of Christ, a process which has already begun, he said.
- To be successful, missionaries should seek to be personally converted, obey rules, have the Spirit of God, and work hard.
"We expect you to be mature, powerful, bold, spiritual missionaries. And you have to have an abiding conviction of this work in your heart." —Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve

There might have been a more exciting time to be a missionary in the Church, "but I do not know when that would be," Elder Jeffrey R. Holland declared to the missionaries at the Provo Missionary Training Center in a devotional address January 15.
"There is an enthusiasm, an excitement, a zeal right now that is unlike anything I know of in recent years," Elder Holland said. He referred to the dramatic increase in interest since President Monson announced in October general conference the lowering of the age of eligibility for missionary service to 18 for men and 19 for women.
Elder Holland read a quote from the Prophet Joseph Smith that he said has taken on new meaning for him, though it was equally true when Joseph made the statement in the early days of the Church when there were only a few hundred members. The Prophet said: "The building up of Zion is a cause that has interested the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight; they have looked forward with joyful anticipation to the day in which we live; and fired with heavenly and joyful anticipations, they have sung and written and prophesied of this, our day; … we are the favored people that God has made choice of to bring about the latter-day glory" (History of the Church, 4:609–10).
"I am 'fired with heavenly and joyful anticipation,'" Elder Holland said, "and if I could sing, I would sing!"
Elder Holland said he has a feeling regarding earlier apostles, prophets, priests, and kings—earlier missionaries—"that although they knew they would not succeed in their day, they were able to continue to labor because they knew we would succeed. In that sense they could sing and prophesy and take heart, not of their day, but of our day."
He added: "This is the generation when the work will not fail. This is the dispensation that will receive the Son of God as the Lamb of God, and we will hand to Him the Church of the Lamb."
He said missionaries often ask him when that Second Coming of Christ will occur. He responds that he does not know. "But I am quick to say that process has already begun," he said, explaining that it began with the appearance of the Father and the Son to the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1820 and will culminate with the coming of Christ to reign personally upon the earth, of which culmination "no man knoweth" the day or the hour (see D&C 49:7).
Because of the significance of the latter days, "you have to be the best missionaries we've ever had, because no task has ever been put before a missionary like the one we're putting before you," Elder Holland said. "We expect you to be mature, powerful, bold, spiritual missionaries. And you have to have an abiding conviction of this work in your heart."
He said: "Missionaries are under obligation to come home having had at least one convert, you! There is no excuse in time or eternity for you not to have that one precious conversion."

Speaking of his own missionary experience, Elder Holland said, "Everything I cherish in this world I have because of this Church, and everything I have because of this Church seems to have begun with the blessing of my mission."
He said that because of the greatness of his own mission experience, "I cannot bear for you not to have that same experience."
"So you've got to invest yourself in this for your sake, for the Church's sake, and for heaven's sake. The angels are smiling down on this dispensation and expect so much of you in order that the Lord can triumphantly come. There's a lot riding on your shoulders.
"We know that. We know you're young, but we don't apologize for that. God has chosen young people to do His work from the beginning of time, and He has chosen you."
The idea behind the current missionary guide, Preach My Gospel, is "to convert you, then help you to convert the [individual] investigators," he said.
He added that the title of the missionary guide is taken from section 50 of the Doctrine and Covenants and added that the personal pronoun "my" pertains to the Savior Himself.
"The point is you have to understand that this is the Savior's gospel. When you know that … then you will know why you have to preach it His way." For that reason, missionaries are counseled to be obedient to mission rules, he explained, adding that by so doing, they can teach with power and great authority because they will be endowed with the Spirit.
Elder Holland gave the missionaries this formula by which they can know they are measuring up to the Lord's expectations: "Seek to be personally converted, obey the rules of the mission, strive to have the Spirit of the Lord in your life, and work hard. These are things every missionary can do.
"If you do those things, I promise you in the name of the Lord and with the authority of my office, you are a success in His eyes regardless of how many other convert baptisms you are able to have in your particular corner of the vineyard."

This is the new Mercedes-Benz V-Class, revealed at the Munich Olympics complex. And it looks good. Stylish good. It also promises a revolution in the world of vans, though not in quite the same way as Top Gear would like. Where we'd request laser-guided rockets and V8-powered food blenders on board, the new V-Class opts for luxury and convenience. You can't win them all.
Still, inside you get high-quality materials, nappa leather, ambient lighting, a free-standing central display, multifunction steering wheel, a touchpad and optional surround sound.
Then there's four-way lumber support and ventilation for the seats, which themselves can be arranged in many different configurations. You can open the rear windscreen without opening the boot, too, should you have parked your V-Class in a tight spot. Or if one of the many on-board guests requires a speedy exit.
Engines available at launch include Merc's 2.1-litre four-pot turbo diesel, offered with 136bhp, 163bhp and, in the case of the V250, 190bhp guises. The latter replaces the old 3.0-litre V6 diesel. The automatic 7G-tronic 'box is available as an option for the lesser powered variants, and is standard on the V250. Sadly, there is no word on a V63 AMG. And this is a fault that needs to be remedied immediately. Just imagine.
Because it's a Benz, you get lots of electronic assistants in the shape of agility control (adaptive damping), adaptive ESP and attention assist, all first seen on the E- and S-Class. You can option proximity cruise control, collision prevention assist, lane keeping assist, blind spot assist, and adaptive highbeam assist. Any more assists and it'd load the rear up by itself and, well, drive itself too.

Pantaleon (meaning "like a lion in all things") was born to a non-Christian father and Christian mother in Nicomedia in 275 CE. His mother repeatedly shared the Christian faith and way with him throughout his childhood but he fell away from his mother's beliefs and never claimed them as his own. His academic pursuits and able intellect led him to study medicine. His skill in the field was apparent from the beginning and his practice gained attention from many people–including the emperor Maximian. It was, in fact, as a physician that he was first reached by the convicting faith of his mother. Hermolaus, a physician himself, appealed to him arguing that Jesus was "the great physician" and, therefore, worthy of emulation and great consideration.
Hermolaus connected the life and viewpoint of Pantaleon to that of his childhood and his mother's teachings. For Pantaleon, this resulted not only in the changing of his name to Panteleimon (meaning "mercy for everyone") but, also, the changing of his approach to medicine. By bridging the gap between Panteleimon's childhood and his identity,Hermolaus unleashed a great healer upon not only the persecuted Christians but, also, the sick and suffering. Panteleimon truly did offer mercy for anyone and everyone. Though he was employed by Maximian he offered healing and mercy even to the poorest of the poor.
Eventually, he was denounced to the authorities and charged with being a Christian. Given Panteleimon's incredible reputation as a healer and worker of good, the emperor Maximian hoped to convince Panteleimon to renounce his faith and become an apostate–a well-rewarded and highly-regarded apostate. Panteleimon refused to deny the faith he once had cast aside and, instead, he confessed it boldly regardless of what he stood to lose in doing so.
Further, he challenged the imperial delusions to a test. He challenged Maximian's best doctors to a challenge: there was a certain paralytic who was considered unable to be healed–Panteleimon invited this man in and gave the doctors sufficient time to try all that they knew to heal the man's paralysis. Though they were esteemed in imperial eyes, the doctors failed. Panteleimon offered prayer and requested healing and the man stood up free from paralysis. Perhaps Panteleimon expected to be released or to convert Maximian but this was not to be as hatred and shame had filled the heart of Maximian. Maximian–so lost in imperial delusions and unable truly to see life–labeled this healing as trickery and sorcery. He had the healed paralytic executed in a show of savage domination and power.
As punishment for healing the paralytic and being a Christian, Maximian brought some of Panteleimon's friends–including Hermolaus–before himself and threatened them with beheading if Panteleimon would not renounce his faith. These men were martyred as Panteleimon stood strong and proclaimed that there is more to life than a heartbeat and more to death than a grave. In doing this, Maximian made a statement about life and death and made the point that the empire's power was death and the control of it. However, even as he condemned Panteleimon–instrument of life and mercy to so many and his own personal physician–to death, his power of death could not restrain the power of life held by the God of Panteleimon.
In anger and desperation for power, Maximian ordered Panteleimon beheaded to make his point concerning death and power. As Panteleimon prayed, the blade failed to cut his neck. As he finished his prayer, Panteleimon heard a voice from heaven calling him home and he lovingly permitted the soldiers to execute him. Having shown the power of life over death and God over the empire, Panteleimon was beheaded and martyred as a servant of life and opponent of the power of death in the year 303.

The future success of the United States depends on the ability of today's students to meet national demands for high-tech workers, educated consumers, and responsible citizens. Preparing students for a high-tech future is a monumental challenge that no one stakeholder (employer/employee, families, schools, students, and the community at large) can overcome alone. This report, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, examines how the business community can and must help to meet these challenges as well as what roles it can play in this effort. Also examined is how technology tools can be used to support and guide the process of strengthening employer and family involvement in education. A dozen case studies reveal how today's corporations are contributing to the future through involvement in education. (44 pages)

Film and television actress Kathy Bates revealed via Twitter Wednesday that she has been battling breast cancer for the past two months.
"Hey all, sorry for the long silence," she tweeted. "I was diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago & am recovering from a double mastectomy."
"Luckily, I don't have to undergo radiation or chemo," Bates told People. "My family call me Kat because I always land on my feet and thankfully this is no exception. ... My doctors have assured me I'm going to be around for a long time. I'm looking forward to getting back to work doing what I love to do."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
It's a second cancer fight for Bates, who won a best actress Academy Award in 1991 for her frightening role in "Misery." She revealed in March that she survived ovarian cancer nine years ago.
The actress was most recently seen on television in NBC's now canceled dramedy "Harry's Law," for which she is nominated for a best actress Emmy.
Proof that she has not lost her sense of humor despite her health concerns, Bates followed up her initial tweet with another to her fans that read: "I don't miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry's Law ;-) Thanks for all the sweet tweets. Y'all kept me going."

Load(redirected from Load Fee)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
Related to Load Fee: deferred sales charge
The sales fee charged to an investor when shares are purchased in a load fund or annuity. See: Back-end load; front-end load; level load.
A sales charge or commission one pays for purchasing a mutual fund. The charge is paid to the person(s) who sold the investor shares in the fund. There are three types of load. A front-end load occurs when the shareholder pays the fee when buying into the fund. A back-end load means that the investor pays when selling his/her shares. Finally, an investor with a level-load fund pays periodically throughout his/her time as a shareholder. Studies have shown that load funds perform neither better nor worse than no-load funds.
The sales fee the buyer pays in order to acquire an asset. This fee varies according to the type of asset and the way it is sold. Many mutual funds impose a sales charge. As a result of the load, only a portion of the investor's funds go into the investment itself. Also called front-end load, sales load.
If you buy a mutual fund through a broker or other financial professional, you pay a sales charge or commission, also called a load.
If the charge is levied when you purchase the shares, it's called a front-end load. If you pay when you sell shares, it's called a back-end load or contingent deferred sales charge. And with a level load, you pay a percentage of your investment amount each year you own the fund.
loadthe work which is assigned to a workstation (machine or operative) during a specified period of time. See PRODUCTION-LINE BALANCING.
A load is a sales charge imposed when mutual fund shares are purchased or redeemed.

Mapping Plate Boundaries
Learning Goals
- Deal with maps and numbers in a way that should be manageable for students with serious math and science anxiety
- Demonstrate their prior knowledge about plate tectonics
- Make or reinforce the connection between modern geologic hazard distribution and plate tectonics
- Cooperatively transform real data into a graphic which makes clear one of the biggest ideas in geology
Context for Use
Teaching Materials
- Overhead projector
- World or hemisphere maps on overheads - 1 per student pair
- Overhead markers - 1 per student pair
- Give one color to students working with volcano data, another to students working with earthquake data
- Latitude and longitude data for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions - 1 list of about 10-20 points per student pair
Lecture briefly on geologic hazards: earthquakes and volcanoes, and show overheads of recent news articles. Ask the class if some areas are more susceptible to earthquakes or volcanoes than others. After a think-pair-share (TPS) session of a minute, they'll probably remark that Japan and California seem to have a lot of earthquakes, there are volcanoes in Italy, Hawaii, etc. So, time for another TPS session: why are those areas so geologically hazardous. The responses here will give you an idea of the students' prior knowledge about plate tectonics and boundary types.
Give each student pair a copy of a map printed on a transparency, an overhead marker, and a list of data. For a small class, give students a map of the whle world and each pair should have a different set of data. For a large class, divide the class into east and west and give half Eastern Hemisphere maps and half Western Hemisphere maps. Make two copies of each data table and give a different subset to each pair within a hemisphere, with a warning only to plot data points in their hemisphere. Give the students 10-15 minutes to plot their data, then collect the overheads. Stack up all overheads of a given map (world, Eastern hemisphere, or Western hemisphere) and tell the students about the names of the plates, hotspots, and different types of boundaries.
Teaching Notes and Tips
References and Resources
Volcano and Earthquake data:
- Last 8 to 30 Days of Earthquake Activity from the QED (more info) has a huge table of data that can be cut into pieces, and handed out to different pairs. They'll be making the map, so you'll want to get rid of that. Alternatively, you can extract data by various criteria including damage done and number of deaths from NGDC's Significant Earthquake Database ( This site may be offline. )
- Volcano World lists Current Eruptions ( This site may be offline. ) and provides other useful information..
- Blank world maps from Education Place :
- Whole Earth (more info)
- Western Hemisphere
- Eastern Hemisphere (more info) - instructor should add lat. and long.
Once the plate boundaries are discovered by your students, there are many wonderful things for them to learn about plate tectonics.
- The USGS also has a Weekly Volcanic Activity Report (more info) newsletter to help you with the first part of the lecture. The maps can be used in the second half. There is also a map page for Earthquakes but no corresponding text page.
- A different Discovering Plate Boundaries (more info) exercise with downloadable maps showing seafloor ages, topography, seismology, volcanology, or plate boundaries.
- There are many ways to go about reconstructing Pangaea:
- Discover Our Earth (more info) has one for computer projection, for an instructor demonstration or homework for a student with Internet access
- A paper approach to Reconstructing Pangea from Earth Science Today (more info) , more suited to student activity in lab
- Compare Earth's volcano distribution to Volcanoes of Other Worlds. What do we know about plate tectonics on Venus, Mars, our moon, or Io?
