I made a points to miles transfer from Marriott hotels to Turkish airlines Miles and Smiles program. The points I earned with all my previous hotelstays. I transferred 240000 marriott rewards points into 80000 miles and 20000 bonus miles. Those miles should have appeared on my miles and smiles account beginning of januari. The 20000 appeared but the 80000 didn't appear at all. I'm already 2,5 months in contact with Turkish Airlines and Marriott, several mails and calls, to finally get those miles there, but without a result. Marriott send me documents on which is mentioned that they did what they had to do and the transfer has been done, they say it's turkish airlines fault the miles are not there. Turkish Airlines didn't do anything this far then telling me I've to be patient, but their normal respond time is seven days and I'm waiting 2.5 months. 2 days ago I got in touch with Marriott again, I should have got a solution in 24 hours, still waiting however. The corresponding value of 80000 miles is 2400 USD. I only want the miles to be on my miles and smiles account and if that's not possible Marriott should see that the 240000 points I exchanged for these miles appear back on my Bonvoy account. I waited long enough.

Dean's Message
Welcome to Fordham's graduate business programs.
You are about to discover the extraordinary variety and custom approach that Fordham brings to graduate business education. We recognize that in business, one program does not fit all.
Fordham offers a range of choices that most schools do not. In addition to a full-time cohort MBA and what we call the Professional MBA—which can be taken full-time or part-time—students may consider more than a dozen Master of Science programs matched to areas of rapid employment growth.
No matter what a student's goals, Fordham has a high-quality, industry-current program. Notably, the full-time MBA underwent a complete revision in 2014; part of this fall's entering class is experiencing its hands-on, team-oriented learning model. The new MBA is designed to produce graduates who will not merely contribute to, but rather reshape, the business world.
Across the board, what distinguishes Fordham, as the only Jesuit business school in New York City, is our commitment to leadership with purpose. Students emerge knowing exactly how to go above and beyond to advance their own careers, their industry of choice, and society as a whole. They become part of an academic community and an alumni community that will support them wholeheartedly in being a force for progress.
We look forward to welcoming the next class of students who will change the landscape.

For most people who don't know, I am a HUGE Justin Timberlake fan! From *NSYNC to his first solo album titled "Justified", I have always felt JT has had immense talent and soul! I pretty much was counting down the days until his recent album "Man of the Woods" dropped. It has been four long awaited years for Timberlake fans to finally get their fix an here it is. FINALLY! But I wouldn't be myself if i didn't give an honest review. Now my disclaimer is that I still LOVE me some JT BUT, in all honesty this album was just OKAY! I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I totally overhead this album. I mean after fours years of NOTHING what do you expect a fan girl to do. But if we are being real, I just felt the album, wasn't him. It had hits on it such as Supplies, Morning Light, Say Something (and even that is a stretch). Midnight summer jam is my joint too. I understand that artists have to step outside of the box but COME ON! After four years give the people what they want. Soul. Its who he is. I couldn't even tell Timbaland produced anything. When you are a fan of an artist or even a producer they tend to have a signature sound, I wasn't hearing that! I felt he added more country in this album. Which is fine but I guess its just not what I am use to. I still blast the album and will most deff be at the concert in January 2018 (cuz honey the tickets for May prices was out of control). I guess I just expected more. Comeback? Eh the verdict is still out. He has redeeming to do on the next album but for now, I will settle for this!

Château d'Yquem (French: is a Premier Cru Supérieur (Fr: "Superior First Growth") wine from the Sauternes, Gironde region in the southern part of the Bordeaux vineyards known as Graves. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, Château d'Yquem was the only Sauternes given this rating, indicating its perceived superiority and higher prices over all other wines of its type. Yquem's success stems largely from the site's susceptibility to attack by "noble rot" (Botrytis cinerea).
Wines from Château d'Yquem are characterised by their complexity, concentration and sweetness. A relatively high acidity helps to balance the wine's sweetness. Another characteristic for which Château d'Yquem wines are known is their longevity. With proper care, a bottle will keep for a century or more. During this time, the fruity overtones will gradually fade and integrate with more complex secondary and tertiary flavours.

Cash Covered Streets In Indianapolis
There's a second city with a highway covered in cash so far this year. This time, in Indianapolis when the back door of a Brinks armored truck opened up while driving down I-70. It's reported that as much $600,000 in loose cash is floating around.
The driver of the truck evidently had no idea what was going on and only stopped after another driver waved him down.
Indiana State Police reported that people were hopping roadway fences to grab as much cash as possible, which is technically theft. People have been encouraged to return any found money to the police station. But be honest, would you grab a handful?

Fatherlessness is reaching pandemic proportions. In Fatherless Generation: Redeeming the Story John Sowers gives us an account of the devastating effects of fatherlessness and how we can stop it. Through personal experience, the experience of others, statistics and years of experience, Sowers shows us how the life changing effects that losing a father can have on a child both at young and old ages.
Sowers argues that "rejection is the defining characteristic of the fatherless generation (pg. 19)." While we all experience rejection on our lives whether it be at work or school, rejection in the home from our fathers has far reaching and deep consequences. A father provides stability, leadership, identity formation, relationship formation and helps to shape our view of God our heavenly Father. When the father is absent all of these things and more are lost. Sowers continues, "Perhaps the worst thing about rejection is living with the knowledge that someone has chosen to turn his back on you (pg. 19)." Sowers shows how this idea of rejection is played out in the music of each generation. Much of the rage and edgy behavior that many music artists display is their way of dealing with the loss of their father. So why do so many of these record sell, asks Sowers,
This is more than loud music. More than mosh pits and star worship. More than flashing lights and smoke machines. Something deeper is going on here. A soulful identification is taking place, even if most of the listeners cannot articulate it (pg. 22).
One of the effects of fatherlessness is the constant running from the shadow of your absent father. Many children, boys in particular, try so hard not to be like their runaway father. Yet, there is something magnetic about their lost fathers such that many kids will follow in the same destructive lifestyle. Sowers notes,
In our anger, we convince ourselves that we will never live for his ghost. Yet, in spite of our best efforts, we are driven by our rejection, just as those who are driven to please him. The ghost reminds us who not to be, which defines the framework of who we are to be. Our identity is shaped by our defiance (pg. 26).
This mindset in turn results in the development of shame. A fatherless child feels shame because they believe the lie that there is something wrong with them which caused their dad to leave – to reject them. These thoughts of shame and inadequacy follow us into every area of our lives. We take them to work, to church, to school and to play with our friends. This shame is not only a mindset but it is a physical demeanor. The roots of shame truly run deep.
Not only do children work out their issues of fatherlessness through music, they do it through movies as well. Sowers points to the movies Elf and Fight Club as classic examples of how boys whose fathers have left deal with the rejection. Many movies portray gangs which are predominately formed by fatherless boys looking for acceptance, leadership and identity. In relation to gangs and authority Sowers notes,
A fatherless child often rebels against authority, for it represents the sacred position his father once held. Authority is something to be avoided, mocked, or scorned (pg 47)."
This rejection of authority follows a child to school as they sit in a classroom and are attempted to be taught by a teacher. It follows them to the job place and results in joblessness time and time again. Once distrust for ones father is developed, distrust for all authority is soon to follow. When fatherless children reject authority they in then turn to sex, drugs and violence as means dealing with their hurt and shame. Sowers gives a wealth of statistical information that links many of the ills of society to fatherless children.
Amidst all the devastation that fatherlessness produces there is hope. Sowers is president of The Mentoring Project which seeks to link mentors with fatherless children in hopes of redeeming their lives and changing the course of their lives and thus the course of their communities. Sowers gives great theological and practical advice on how mentoring can be effective in reshaping the identity of a fatherless child. Theologically, we are to turn fatherless children to the perfect Father God is. Practically, the church must take upon itself the task of coming along side fatherless children and discipling them.
I commend this book to anyone who has kids with friends who are fatherless, youth workers, pastors, teachers and of course mentors. Your eyes will be opened and hopefully your heart as well.

THE MAYHEM HAVING ensued, there's a moment when Kitty's doppelganger (Elisabeth Moss), smeared in blood, looks up to the screen and seems to howl in agony. The howl turns into a riotous laugh. And so it is with this masterful movie. Jordan Peele (Get Out), who wrote, directed and produced, has managed to find a tone (which he has made distinctly his) that balances fear and horror with outrageous black comedy; all as an expression of a cleverly written examination of the US' divided soul.
The story is that of a typical Black middle class family, the Wilsons (Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex) on holiday in their well-appointed holiday home in Santa Cruz. It's a place they'd not visited in years. Mom (Lupita) we know, had suffered a trauma in her childhood. She'd wandered off in a nearby fairground and, seeking shelter from the rain, found herself in a hall of mirrors; a place that promised to help you "find yourself". What she found there scarred her for life.
This disturbing past would return with a vengeance on this first night of their holiday when a family, eerily like theirs, all dressed in (blood) red boiler suits and brandishing scissors show up outside their front door.
Here the terror begins. These people are of course the family's darker – evil – selves. And they come not in peace. Director Peele throws all the tropes of terror at us: the usual silly people tip-toeing into dark cellars while their shadowy selves wait to do them harm; bloodied, battered bodies that disappear only to reappear at very inconvenient moments; and large scissors that snip, snip, snip.
Somehow, it's not nearly as terrifying as it sounds…partly because Peele has such a devilish sense of humor that he always finds a laugh-out-loud moment to lighten the tension. There's a marvelous moment just as the doppelgängers storm the home of an embattled Kitty (Moss as a bored, entitled, alcoholic lady of leisure). She commands her voice activated Alexa to call the police, but Alexa misunderstands and out booms the NWA's hip hop Fuck tha Police.
And these evil doppelgängers are everywhere. It's as though the entire nation has been taken over by their darker selves. Walt Whitman's famous summation of America: "I am large, I contain multitudes" has been perverted to "I am large, I contain evil". As the director makes clear, this evil is "from sea to shining sea"
This is a vision of an America divided unto itself…a vision of a nation co-opted by the most dangerous side of its character; by a side long buried under layers of decency and 'middle class values', but which have now been unleashed. And once unleashed can never be bottled up again. Welcome to the post Trump, post Brexit, post Bolsonaro world.
It's the new Us.
Lupita Nyong'o is tremendous; a force-field holding the movie together. She's compellingly watchable as the image of a person torn between fear, incomprehension and the resolute determination to protect her family (I am reminded of Gabrielle Union in Breaking In). She's the one you know you can depend on to protect you.
Or can you?
Peele textures his vision with a series of absurdist images and symbols (A room with an infinity of caged rabbits; a preacher offering a Biblical warning; the repetition of the numbers 11-11; a news report from 1986 about Hands Around America) and manages a last frame twist that M. Night Shyamalan would eat his hand off for.
All good fun; and though there certainly are a few heart stopping moments (ably abetted by Mike Abels' tremendous sound track) this isn't by any means a horror movie. Rather it's a deadly serious comedy about where we now find ourselves.
Therein lies the horror.
US. Dir/Writer: Jordan Peele. With: Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss. Composer: Michael Abels (Get Out). Cinematography: Mike Gioulakis (Glass). Production Design: Ruth De Jong

If you want to learn, grow, discover or reinvent yourself—Blinkist is a great place to start. Blinkist is an app that provides access to key insights from 2,000+ bestselling nonfiction books that have been transformed into packs any user can read or listen to in just 15 minutes.
The app provides content in 19 categories ranging from productivity to business to science, allowing users to boost their professional skills by learning essential ideas from books in their fields. Blinkist users can also delve into new subjects and explore the top titles in self-improvement.
The company was looking for a way to scale its acquisition efforts beyond social media channels to drive new sign-ups—so they turned to Taboola, where they were able to find over 60,000 new readers in just six months.
Reaching exploration-minded readers.
Blinkist sought to establish the Blinkist Magazine as a respected resource for content related to personal development, alongside scaling acquisition efforts.
Taboola was a clear choice to reach both of these goals—giving Blinkist access to a large audience of people who were already interested in related topics.
Blinkist users are driven, eager to learn, and want to go far in life—they're knowledge-hungry and want to improve themselves, but Blinkist faced a challenge trying to explain its product succinctly.
"We're able to access this unique niche of people through social media marketing, but at a very limited scale, and frankly we weren't growing as fast as we wished—then we found content marketing," says Sandra Wu, digital marketing manager at Blinkist.
Content articles on the Taboola Network enabled the company to build awareness and understanding of its value and purpose.
60K+ new sign-ups at target cost-per-acquisition (CPA).
Blinkist has the ability to track app downloads through Taboola's S2S (Server to Server) Tracking and link results directly to campaigns. They could see every conversion on the dashboard, which made optimization easy. In just six months running Taboola campaigns, the company was able to acquire more than 60,000 new sign ups at their goal CPA.
"The Taboola network is so huge, and we've barely tapped it. We're hoping to penetrate every focus market through Taboola's publishers," adds Wu.
"I'm always amazed of the reach of the Taboola network. If I wanted to target a country at the far end of the world, Taboola would've gotten there already and partnered with their biggest publisher."
Tracking plus reach are fueling growth.
The Blinkist marketing strategy now comprises a mix of social media and affiliate marketing plus content discovery with Taboola, Blinkist values the size of the Taboola network and the speed of Taboola's product developments.
"If I had to say anything to someone considering Taboola, I would say: do it," says Wu.
"Working with Taboola will not only help you iron out your value proposition, but they're also a great addition to your marketing mix. Content discovery is the future."
The Blinkist team also likes having control over which type of publishers they align with and the ability spend more with the most rewarding publishers.

Nothing brings a community together quite like sports. And it's no more evident than in Tucson this week, where everywhere you go you see red and black.
As you walk down the street or sit down at a restaurant someone inevitably yells out "Go Aztecs!"
Aztec fever has taken over San Diego this year. And that's somewhat expected. But when you see it in another city, where Aztec fans have come together for a common purpose, to cheer their team – our team – on to victory, you know it's reached a new level.
I've met lawyers, real estate professionals, students, teachers and alumni from all generations. But here, this weekend, we're all just Aztecs.
"I believe that we will win! …"

Variety.Com, which as we all know is a totally unbiased source that we can trust with our very beings, brings us this investigative report:
by Debra Birnbaum
The writers' room has become a staple of American television production. But look to our British friends across the pond, and they've got other ideas. Imagine: one writer, penning all the episodes of a show. No writers' room. No shared concept. Just single vision, single author, executed from start to finish by the creator.
"Every writer would cravenly admit they would want to write their shows themselves," says Steven Moffat, the famed British scribe with a long list of credits, including "Coupling," "Doctor Who" and "Sherlock."
Throughout his career, he's worked on series with both production models. "The writers' room came about because we have huge volumes of episodes to make." It's simply more practical, he says, for shows with long runs like "Doctor Who."
But for shorter-run series, the Brits say the single-author strategy is more creatively satisfying. Which means it fits especially well in the miniseries category.
Noah Hawley pulled it off with FX's "Fargo." It's his vision from start to finish. He had eight of the 10 episodes written before the show was even cast. And though he used a writers' room and is paying homage to the Coen brothers, there's no question it's an auteur-like execution. (Writer Nic Pizzolatto went solo for "True Detective," but whether that's a miniseries is, well, another story.)
The Brits would approve.
Take BBC America's "Luther," as executed by Neil Cross. "Neil Cross pitched us 'Luther' as a big powerful detective where you would know the murderer right at the top of the show, you'd watch him battle his demons and the murderer, and then watch him bring him to justice," says Kate Harwood, head of drama for the BBC, which produced "Luther," now in its third season.

First up, Power BI for Office 365
Power BI for Office 365
An year ago till a couple of months ago, when we spoke of Power BI, it meant just one thing: Power BI for Office 365. Power BI for Office 365 is portrayed as a self-service business intelligence (or data analytics) tool on the cloud. The product is basically;
- Excel 2013 with a bunch of add-ons for report authoring,
- and special sites called Power BI sites on Office 365 for sharing and collaboration of the reports created using Excel, plus a few more goodies
Going further, Excel 2013 is the essential component of Power BI for Office 365. It is where all the data extraction, clean-up, consolidation and modeling happens (Power Query and Power Pivot). It is also where the reports and analytics is done (Power View and Power Map). The best thing about this is that all these add-on that I have mentioned are free, and can be used even without purchasing Power BI for Office 365 (PowerMap requires that you have an Office 365 ProPlus subscription). Then, if you need to share it with others, you to put the workbook on a Power BI site. This enables others in your team to see the data and collaborate on it as well. Apart from this, Power BI for Office 365 allows
- analysis using natural language questions (in English) with Q&A,
- creating and managing a repository of queries and data sources (including on-premise), on the cloud,
- and access data from the Power BI Windows Store App so that information is available on the go on Windows tables
The pricing for Power BI for Office 365 currently looks like this, and has more than what I have described here. For more information I recommend reading this, the Power BI for Office 365 service description and FAQs.
And now, there is a new player in the game. And it's from Microsoft itself…
Power BI Dashboard
(Microsoft Power BI Public Preview)
In December 2014, Microsoft released the Power BI Dashboard, targeting those without Excel and yet do some of the cool things that is possible on Power BI for Office 365. It also comes with some features not yet found on its Office 365 counterpart. Right now there seems to be nothing that binds Power BI Dashboard to Power BI for Office 365, apart from the fact that you need to sign up for Power BI Dashboard using your company email or Office 365 account. To get to it you need to navigate to www.powerbi.com/dashboards or preview.powerbi.com if you have already signed up. Once you have signed up or signed in, you are taken into a landing page with a clean look, and a couple of sample dashboards.
Exploring one of the included sample dashboards, gives you a feel of how it is intended to be used by a someone analyzing the data. The dashboard is made up of report parts from various reports that have been pinned to the dashboard. Clicking on of these takes you to the relevant report. Q&A with natural language has also found its way here from Power BI for Office 365. And it works super fast as well.
Building your dashboards is a no-brainer:
- Create a dataset by connecting to the different types of data sources that are available.
- Create a report, where you author your visualizations using the datasets that you created.
- Finally you create a dashboard and pin your favorite visualizations from the different reports that you created.
When creating a dataset, the first that you would notice when looking at the data source options, is that most of them are SaaS applications, such as Dynamics CRM, Zendesk, Salesforce, Github etc.. The only on-premise options are Excel and Analysis Services (and that too Tabular models from SQL Server 2012 and after). This might get you thinking, but it seems to be aligned with the fact that this product is currently being pitched primarily as something for those who don't have Excel and that Power BI dashboards is indeed for those casual analytics people who want the power of data to compliment the work that they do with these applications. The datasets that are created do not get complicated, either. It's just a "table" that you pull off a source and use it in a report – nothing fancy that you would do when Power Querying or Power Pivoting.
So who decides which data sources are more important that they show up here? Judging from the "Suggest a data source" section at the bottom, I believe it is up to those using and trying out the product to push their preferences. As of now, SSAS cubes is indicated as "planned", and I am sure that more would come, looking at the enthusiasm that is being generated from Power Query and Power Pivot users.
Now, there is something else that all this goodness comes with; the Microsoft Power BI Designer Preview. This little beast (which is a separate download) has everything that Power Query has in terms of vast data sources (including ODBC, which was introduced to Power Query only a few days ago) and data transformation. The premise here is that hardcore users would do their ninja Power Query moves in cleaning up data, and then create the reports in the app itself (think what Report Builder is to Reporting Services), andfinally the saved Power BI Designer (pbix) file will be used as a source on Power BI dashboards. Hmm, are we looking at Excel being kicked out of Power BI in the future, here? There is Power Pivot to be dealt with. But it does seem probable in the future.
I have always had reservations from the time when business intelligence reporting and visualization was sent to be held in SharePoint, which would act as a container. The same trend flowed onto Power BI for Office 365, where the Excel sheets had to be hosted on special Power BI sites. There was something "unnatural" about it. But looking at Power BI dashboards, where SharePoint does not seem to be seen anywhere, and how the application is just named Microsoft Power BI, and also when connecting to Excel, the option of directly getting it off OneDrive, there is this prospective happy feeling that business intelligence will finally be free of SharePoint: An Utopia of everything Power BI on a web app such as this one.
All this is exciting. Microsoft Power BI is still in its infancy and seemingly has no binding with Power BI for Office 365 (which is the de-facto self-service business intelligence tool from Microsoft), but has really good potential in breaking out as an awesome self-service business intelligence tool. My next post would be a demo of using the Power BI Designer and using its content on a Power BI dashboard. Stay tuned.

Lu Xun was born in Shaoxing, in Zhejiang province, into an impoverished but educated gentry family. He received a traditional education before he attended Jiangnan Naval Academy (1898-99) and School of Railway and Mines (1899-1902) in Nanjing. In 1902 went to Japan where he studied Japanese language and then medicine at Sendai Provincial Medical School. In 1906 he dropped out of the school to devote himself entirely to writing. He studied privately and returned in 1909 to China. In 1910-11 he was a teacher in Shaoxing. From 1912 to 1926 he held a post in the ministry of education in Beijing. He was Chinese literature instructor at National Beijing University (1920-26), and also taught at Xiamen (Amoy) University (1926) and University of Canton (1927).
He is a short-story writer, essayist, critic, and literary theorist who is considered one of the greatest figures in the 20th-century Chinese literature. In the West Lu Xun is chiefly known for his stories, which have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Lu Xun's acclaimed short stories appeared in three collections between the years 1923 and 1935. He also produced sixteen volumes of essays, reminiscences, prose poetry, historical tales, some sixty classical-style poems, and a dozen volumes of scholarly research, and numerous translations.
The collected works of Lu Xun in twenty volumes was first published in 1938. Lu Xun's work is still widely read in China. In his lifetime Lu Xun managed to maintain his status as an independent but leftist artist, but since his death political factions have been slightly nervous about his legacy

This is so good Joe, if only more thought like you did, this world would be a much better place!
Stepping Out with an Agoraphobic
(Click to enlarge)
It is me? You decide.
I recently heard someone say that "Orange is the new black." I was taken aback because I had no idea what that meant, except that my box of crayons was now all wrong.
Upon further examination of my life, I realized the chaos that the statement had now created for me. In the morning, I would have to drink black juice to get my vitamin C. The local college sports teams would have to be called the Syracuse Blackmen and Blackwomen. And what in the world would happen to Halloween? It was almost too much to handle.
And then it dawned on me that this person was probably just speaking about fashion, which made it a little better – but not much. I am not a big fan of the fashion industry: the people who tell us to wear meat and tin…

I think that you identified the main problem when you wrote the following: "I'm still uncomfortable around my therapist since we've only just started." That makes perfect sense. You don't know him very well yet. It is uncomfortable to discuss your most intimate thoughts with a relative stranger. Relationships, therapeutic relationships included, take time to build. The more you and he work together, the more you will learn trust him and his advice.
In addition to having only just met him, three sessions ago, you have social anxiety. The nature of social anxiety is being uncomfortable around other people, especially people who you don't know very well. The social anxiety might make therapy more difficult for you, compared to someone without the added social anxiety.
You may not see it this way but the fact that you have shared your suicidal thoughts with him is major progress. That had to be difficult for you but you did it. That's a step in the right direction.
Yes, you should address this problem with your therapist. Your feelings are perfectly natural and he'll know how to help. One key to success in therapy, is honesty. Being honest will make it easier for him to understand what's wrong and advise you accordingly.
The next time you have a therapy session, simply say you have something you would like to discuss and proceed to tell him what you wrote in this letter. You might even show him the letter you wrote to us. It articulately and succinctly outlines your concerns and it would give him a deeper understanding about what you are thinking. You are off to great start. Keep up the good work. Please take care.

Hudson murder suspect: William Balfour
Balfour's story just isn't adding up!
Authorities are saying the case is mounting against William Balfour, the man police sources have targeted as THE suspect in the murder of three in the Hudson family.
Check out the Chicago Sun-Times for new information from Balfour's girlfriend, her home is where he was arrested. She has contradicted Balfour's alibi and police have caught him in other discrepancies.
Authorities have been tracking Balfour through his cell phone records.
A neighbor says a man he believes to be Balfour was seen pulling up to the girlfriend's home around noon on Friday, he got out of the car "carrying what appeared to be a bottle of liquor," and was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt.
Forensics will be all over this case, checking out the SUV, the Hudson home and Balfour's clothes. The sooner this case is completed, the sooner the healing can begin for the Hudson family.
One Response to "Hudson murder suspect: William Balfour"
I can't believe William Balfour's stupid mother on Nancy Grace. "Oh my poor son. Everybody is just lyin' about him. He never attempted to murder anybody ever before. That man he stoll the car from just shouldn't tried to stop him from stealin it. He jumped up on the car. Damn he shoulda just let him steal it. Don't Ya Know he just a poor innocent littl' baby. All he ever wanted was to just join some gangs, and sleep with all kinda girls. They was just all up in his business."

First I needed to make a plan for my box. I wanted to insert 4 chocolate bars called "Merci" to it, so I measured out how much space they needed. The paper for this box needs to be cut to 5 1/4" by 10 3/4" and then you need to score them like you can see in the following picture. Attention: You only need to score where you see the dotted line - the line with the measurements is no score line.
Next you need to cut off a bit of you paper. In the following picture you see what your paper should look like after you cut out what isn't needed:
Now the paper needs to become a box ;o) If you would like to have a window in your box, like I did, now is the time to cut it out of the square on the right. In order to have the acorn leaf at the right space in both the box and the patterned paper I glued the designer paper down temporarily and sent both through my Big Shot. Before I put the box together I glued the acetate between the box and the patterned paper, added the paper for the lid and also stencilled in the acorns. I am saying this here, because the box you see in the picture is actaully the second one I made, because I had forgotten the acetate and also the paper on the front.
Zum Schluss habe ich nur noch den Streifen mit dem "just a little something" ("nur eine Kleinigkeit") hinzugefügt und dem dem Fuchs mit "Walnut Stain" einen Hügel angedeutet und ihn darauf geklebt. Der Fuchs ist übrigens eine Stanze, die ich mit Copics coloriert habe. Den Körper habe ich dafür 3 Mal ausgestanzt, um ihn ein wenig stabiler zu machen.
All that was left to do now was to glue down the sentiment strip "just a little something", colour in an area for the fox something to stand on and glue him down. The fox is made from a die cut which I have coloured using my Copic markers. I die cut the body three times to give it more thickness and make it more sturdy.

Ok.. getting close to when i think i can start riding again.. I was up in Southbury this week and popped into Class Cycle to see what they had to offer. I also went to Smart Cycle in Norwalk last weekend.
I liked the guys @ Class. helpful, not pushy.
reminder what i'm looking for - notch above entry-level hard tail, $500 range. riding style is a mixed bag of recreational with family in neighborhood and rail trails PLUS want to venture off onto single track for more advanced riding. No plans on jumping off any large boulders or jumps (nothing that requires body armour).
At Class i saw
Cannondale - F7 Disk - $499
Felt Q620 - $599
Trek 4500 - $579
while the trek has rim brakes the guy @ class said he considered it in a class above the canondale.
any thoughts on these bikes?
Heading up to Berlin this weekend to see what they have @ suburban and also probably stop @ bikers edge.

Critics' Circle National Dance Awards
21 February 2019
Reporter: Vera Liber
The Critics' Circle National Dance Awards for 2018 were presented at a ceremony in London, hosted by Mbulelo Ndabeni and Cira Robinson.
Mark Baldwin OBE was awarded the De Valois Award for Outstanding Achievement in recognition of his career, to date, as a dancer and choreographer, including his time as Resident Choreographer at Scottish Ballet and his sixteen-year service as Artistic Director of Rambert, which included winning the Outstanding Company Award in 2010. His award was presented by Judith Mackrell, until recently the chief dance critic of The Guardian.
Akram Khan wins a record eighth National Dance Award for his solo performance in XENOS; and there is a first victory for a flamenco artist (Rocío Molina); and for Taiwan, with Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan winning the Stef Stefanou Award for Outstanding Company.
Lighting designer Lucy Carter won the inaugural Outstanding Creative Contribution Award.
Ballet remained the most popular dance form amongst the critics, taking a total of six awards including the two Best Dancer awards, won by The Royal Ballet's stellar partnership of Vadim Muntagirov and Marianela Nuñez; while Alina Cojocaru of English National Ballet won the Outstanding Female Classical Performance Award for the second successive year.

The Chairman of the Awards committee, Graham Watts OBE, stressed the diversity of the award winners and nominees: "these awards celebrate excellence across a rich diversity of dance forms that have both entertained and challenged us over the past year. For the first time, both choreography awards have been won by women and we also have the first award proper going to a flamenco artist; an award for a Kathak-based performance, as well as two awards going to the hugely successful Ballet Black. And the Stef Stefanou Award for Outstanding Company goes to Taiwan, in the form of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, a regular visitor to Sadler's Wells in the 45 years since it was founded by Lin Hwai-min. Taken altogether these awards show that dance is a diverse, global art form and that this world of dance can be seen here in the UK."

Pay More for Less
Increase funding to City employees to aquire good talent and get rid of dead wood. Gov't workers need to be accountable for results, not process. With the status of the economy, there is high caliber talent out there and we should have the best engineers, decision makers, planners, financial accountants available to properly manage the City and its departments. We can do better with fewer if we pay for high performance.

Capacity Building
CJII Training and Technical Assistance Consortium
As part of a wider strategy to create opportunities for peer-to-peer engagement, collaboration, and capacity building within the CJII grantee community, as well as to support grantees to position themselves for sustainability after CJII funding has ended, DANY and ISLG sought experts to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to the CJII grantee community. The CJII TTA Consortium is the resulting community of TTA providers from whom DANY solicits a range of group-based and individualized TTA on a rolling basis, responsive to the needs and interests of the CJII grantee community. The Consortium is composed of three pools, for (i) programmatic, (ii) operational, and (iii) strategic support. All Consortium members were selected for their pool(s) through a competitive bid process. ISLG manages the CJII TTA Consortium and provides oversight and guidance to members.
The CJII TTA Initiative emphasizes the importance of a participatory approach to identifying and delivering TTA needs; evaluation of the impact of the TTA investment initiative over time; developing strong relationships with and between CJII grantees; adopting a trauma-informed approach to all TTA offered; and providing expert support through multiple modalities, in order to be responsive to the needs of each grantee. Across the TTA Initiative, the Consortium aims to support CJII grantees as they deliver innovative, high-impact programs.
TTA Initiative
As part of the TTA Initiative, CJII has developed a tailored program of TTA workshops. These workshops are open to any staff from a CJII grantee organization, not only the CJII-funded program within the organization.
The fall/winter program of workshops is available now. Registration for each session and any program updates will be made available on a rolling basis. ISLG will announce additional workshop series over the next few years.
