Portraits In Color LLC.
Tell us more about some of your past projects?
As an artist, my studio time is usually spent working on commissions, WHICH I LOVE TO DO! But, when I do carve out time for independent projects, I typically donate a few of the drawings to various fund-raising events such as Toledo School for the Arts' Undisclosed and the MIX Toledo.
What current projects are you working on?
I am so excited about my upcoming show at the Hudson Gallery in June. Actually, it is more of a community event/party and less of an art show. Whatever the nomenclature, the drawings for this event chronicle a fictional, single A minor league baseball team called the Libbey Glasscutters. The glasscutters were all the rage in Toledo during the 1960s. The show in June helps tell their story but really, this show is an excuse for the city of Toledo to get together for a night of art philosophizing, popcorn eating, beer drinking, and dancing…all in celebration of this amazing city.
What advantages does being in Northwest Ohio/Toledo offer your efforts?
I love Toledo! Where do I start? Firstly, I get all my art supplies at Art Supply Depot, the best art supply store in the world. Secondly, Toledo is specifically awesome because there exists an energy of teamwork and good will in the air. It seems every cool or interesting event only really happened because a ton of people (creatives and business owners), working together, were like "yo, let's make this a dope happening."
When not in my studio working . . .
I have a circuit of coffeeshops in which I like to draw: Sunday morning you can find me at Maddie and Bella with my homie Pascual. A casual weeknight night my jam is Sip coffee. When I want to stand up and draw, RustBelt. I could go on and on but yeah, Toledo is a fantastic place to be creative.
Tell us about one of your greatest successes.
This upcoming show! Another memorable night was at the Renaissance hotel during their International day of celebration. It was sunny out, Birds Eye View Circus was doing their thing, and then, out of nowhere, this brass band from NYC came through the doors and, almost literally, blew the roof off of the place! I was shook. People were dancing. Toledoans were partying and it was a beautiful evening and memory.
Tell us who or what gives you inspiration?
Artist, Mitch Raney has amazing paintings and drawings. Edward Hopper of course. Going to the Toledo Museum of Art fills me with inspiration every time.
Tell us about your background.
I grew up in Tontogany, Ohio. I attended BGSU and earned a degree in Art Education. Since graduation, I have been splitting my time between being an artist and an educator. I am currently transitioning away from education and most recently, started my own business, Portraits In Color. Oh yeah, I am also a wedding DJ for Touch the Sky DJs and that is super fun!.
Do you have a motto or favorite quote you try to live by?
The discipline of showing up makes all the difference. Shout out to Rick.
Favorite place for local culture?
The Art Loops hands down. St. Clair street is LIT during those loops. Also, Handmade has some fantastic work and events and shows.
Toledo's "best kept secret" is . . .
Not to sound creepy, but Woodlawn Cemetery is a fascinating place.
My favorite place to chill locally is . . . West Toledo library is relaxing in the mornings OR, Sip coffee has these super fun chairs that make you feel as if you are in a Dr. Seuss story.
My favorite natural space in the Toledo area is . . .
McQueens apple Orchard. The smell and trees and shade from those trees and the bees buzzing around…perfection.
When I'm not working hard, I can always be found at . . .
The thing is, I am always working hard at drawing, which is my favorite thing to do, which means I am usually drawing . . . but, I guess a golf course …probably. I like to golf.
If you could change anything about the current landscape for creative, progressive people . . .
Toledo seems to be doing it right, but keep bringing EVERYONE together to art happenings is a good mantra in which to march.
Name one person (living or deceased) who you would love to collaborate with.
I would love to collaborate with Drake. I will collaborate with Drake within 5 years. I will keep you updated on that.
Name a CD, book or website you can't live without.
Dwell.com. I love architecture and interior design.
3 words that best describe me or my work are . . .
Colorful, Professional, Genuine.
Give us 5 Desert Island Album picks.
Aenema by Tool
If Youre Reading This Its Too Late by Drake
For Emma by Bon Iver
Coloring Book by Chance The Rapper
Hustle! Reggae Disco by Soul Jam Records
My biggest vice is . . .
Sweets. OMG, it is terrible. I have the biggest sweet tooth so if there is a brownie nearby or Sourpatch Kids afoot, look out.
I'd like to see Ai Weiwei do something baller in Toledo.
The last lyric that moved me was . . .
"I just wanna be a good man, good man." Ne-Yo
One movie character I identify with is . . .
Butch Cassidy. He was always dreaming of doing big things and he refused to let himself become bored with life. This particular character trait is what made, and makes, him a gangster in my mind.
The best gift I've ever received was . . .
A cliché to be sure, but my ability to see things and translate those into beautiful drawings is the greatest bit of luck, or gift if you must, I have ever received.
My most inspiring moment was/is . . .
When I make myself laugh during a drawing. That ability to surprise myself is something I chuckle about the next day and that inspires me to get back into the studio.
I want my last meal to be . . .
Eaten with the love of my life, Sarah Drummer.

Duct Sealing in Downingtown, Exton & Chester Springs, PA and the Surrounding Areas
How Duct Sealing Can Help Improve Your Indoor Air Quality, too!
It's just human nature to complain after checking out your latest electricity or gas bill. The thing is, are you positive you're complaining for the right reasons? You see, the funny thing about gas and electricity bills is they don't go up by themselves, and rate increases are usually the least of the causes. Which is to say, if you think you're paying too much to heat or cool your home, then maybe it's time you called DiBiase to find out where all the extra money is going. Especially since there's a very good chance a whole lot of it is going into thin air…literally. Contact the experts that will save you money for Duct Sealing in Downingtown, Exton & Chester Springs, PA, and the Surrounding Areas
Air Leaking through Cracks and Leaks
You see, according to the EPA, 30% or more of conditioned air that flows through your ducts can be escaping through cracks and leaks. The problem is especially prevalent with older ductwork but, if your newer ductwork wasn't properly installed, then chances are it's not airtight either.
Professional Duct Cleaning
The cure? Professional duct sealing from DiBiase Heating & Cooling. At your invitation, we'll come to your home to determine if and where your ducts might be leaking.
Upfront Price Quote
If they are, we'll give you a guaranteed upfront price quote to thoroughly seal and repair them, as needed.
When the job is done, here's what you can look forward to:
- Cleaner indoor air, as sealed ducts prevent indoor pollutants from being drawn into your ductwork during system operation.
- Lower utility bills by increasing building efficiency.
- Less wear and tear on your heating and cooling systems since they won't have to work as hard to reach the desired temperature settings.
- Longer equipment lifespan
Properly Sealed Ducts
Once your ducts are properly sealed, you'll also experience fewer drafts that, in leaking ducts, are caused by changes in building pressures. There's a lot to be said for professional duct sealing from DiBiase. And it's all positive.

9th Panzer Division (Wehrmacht)
The 9th Panzer Division was a panzer division of the Wehrmacht Army during World War II. It came into existence after 4th Light Division was reorganized in January 1940. The division was headquartered in Vienna, in the German military district Wehrkreis XVII.

|3 January 1940 – 8 May 1945
|German Heer
|Armoured warfare
|Part of
|Wehrkreis XVII: Vienna
|World War II
|Fall 1940
Originally raised from Austrian forces annexed into Germany before the war, the 9th Panzer Division was part of most of the German Army's early Blitzkrieg attacks into western Europe. Sweeping east, the division was then a component of Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union; it was badly mauled at the Battle of Kursk.
Returning to France to rebuild in 1944, the division was rushed to counter Operation Overlord. It was destroyed several successive times by British and American forces as the German Army was pushed back across Europe. The division suffered massive casualties in armor and personnel until it finally collapsed in March 1945. The division's few survivors were pushed into the Ruhr Pocket where they surrendered to the Allies at the end of the war.
In 1942, the division was organized around three regiments. Its tanks were organized into the 33rd Panzer Regiment, which was supported by two regiments of panzergrenadiers, or mechanized infantry. These were the 10th Panzer Grenadier Regiment and the 11th Panzer Grenadier Regiment. Also assigned to the division were the 102nd Panzer Artillery Regiment, the 9th Motorcycle Battalion, the 9th Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion, the 50th Panzer Jager Battalion, the 86th Panzer Pionier Battalion, the 81st Panzer Signal Battalion, the 287th Army Anti-Aircraft Battalion, and the 60th Panzer Divisional Supply Troops.[1]
Following the Anschluss annexation of Austria in 1938, the 4th Light Division was formed in Vienna after converting a mobile division of the Bundesheer (the Austrian Army) in April of that year. It initially consisted of the 33rd Panzer Battalion, the 102nd Motorized Artillery Regiment, and the 10th and 11th Motorized Cavalry Regiments.[2] In 1939, it fought in the Invasion of Poland, on the right flank of Army Group South, attacking out of Slovakia, pushing over the San River on 10 September and capturing Krakowiec on 12 September. It then moved to establish a bridgehead over the Bug River at Krylow on 14 September. The division then turned west, blocking the escape of several units of the Polish Army. In the process the division took tens of thousands of prisoners. On 24 October, the division departed Salzberg, returning to Vienna by train.[2] That winter, it was converted to the 9th Panzer Division and formally redesignated on 3 January 1940.[1] It consisted of the 9th Rifle Brigade, the 33rd Panzer Battalion, the 102nd Panzer Artillery Regiment, and several other divisional units.[2]
Early campaignsEdit
Following a further reorganization increasing its strength to two tank battalions and three motorised infantry regiments, the division was sent to the Western Front to participate in the Battle of the Netherlands starting on 10 May 1940. Part of the 18th Army, which defeated The Netherlands in a grueling five days, 9th Panzer Division played an essential role in the German strategy. The division was the only German mechanized force allocated to 18th Army and was intended primarily to link up with airborne forces landed near Rotterdam and The Hague. On 12 May, the division was launched in the south of The Netherlands to exploit a breakthrough by German infantry divisions, quickly advancing to the Moerdijk bridges, which had been captured by Student's paratroopers. Before that, near Breda, the division split up, sending one battalion north over the Moerdijk bridges to try and enter the Dutch National Redoubt, Fortress Holland. On 13 May, however, during its first actual fighting of the campaign, the battalion suffered considerable losses in a failed assault on the centre of Dordrecht. On 14 May, the battalion stood ready to assault Rotterdam, but the Dutch surrendered the same day after a carpet bombing of that city's civilian centre by the Luftwaffe. The other part of the division went south, after the retreating French 7th Army and the Belgian Army, towards Antwerp and Dunkirk.[3] Following the evacuation of Dunkirk, 9th Panzer Division was assigned to Panzer Group Guderian and participated in the Battle of France. During this stage it was under the command of XXXIX Motorized Corps.[4] It pushed through the Weygand Line towards Paris, crossing the Oise River, Aisne River, Marne River and Loire River, taking thousands of prisoners in the process.[3] By the time of the French surrender, the 9th Panzer Division was in Lyon. During the Western campaign, the division was credited with covering more ground than any other German division.
The division returned to Vienna in July 1940.[1] There, it continued to reorganize and grow, adopting the organization that it kept for most of the war with one tank regiment, two panzergrenadier regiments and one artillery regiment. In September, it was sent to Poland with the XL Panzer Corps.[3]
In the spring of 1941, 9th Panzer Division participated in the Balkans Campaign. It was shipped to Romania and was made the armored spearhead of the 12th Army. It managed some blitzkrieg tactics through the Balkans, separating the Greek Army from the Royal Yugoslav Army, then attacking into Yugoslavia itself. As part of the 12th Army, the 9th Panzer Division pushed back the main British Army, Greek and Australian Army forces [3] Once these armies were in retreat, the division was sent to Romania in preparation for Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union.[5]
Operation BarbarossaEdit
Once Operation Barbarossa was launched, the 9th Panzer Division, part of XIV Panzer Corps (Germany) of the Army Group South, pushed through Ukraine on 28 June, heading to Kiev. The division broke through the Stalin Line on 7 July, took part in the encirclement of Uman, and captured Krivoy Rog and Nikopol on 17 August. The 9th Panzer Division then captured the Dnieper River Dam at Zaporizhia on 25 August. From there, it was made the spearhead of Panzer Group Kleist, driving to Kiev from the south while Panzer Group Guderian drove behind the city from the north. The two groups linked up on 15 September, encircling five field armies of the Soviet Army. The division was part of the force that captured 667,000 Soviet prisoners and 900 tanks in the city.[3]
Following the capture of Kiev, the 9th Panzer Division was made a part of Panzer Group Guderian for the advance on Moscow. The division then took part in the encirclement of Bryansk and, despite delays due to terrain, weather and Red Army resistance, captured Kursk on 2 November. It was halted near the Kursk Oblast settlement of Tim. From there, the division held a sector near Shchigry on the southern sector, facing the Soviet winter offensives of 1941 and 1942. The division remained on this sector until Soviet attacks abated in March 1942.[3]
During a lull in hostilities in early 1943, the division was again reorganized and reequipped, sent to Orel and transferred to Army Group Center, where it participated in Operation Citadel and the Battle of Kursk in the summer of that year as a part of XLVII Panzer Corps, 9th Army. Fighting alongside the 2nd, 4th and 20th Panzer divisions and the 6th Infantry Division, it tried unsuccessfully to break through the Soviet defensive belt. The division fought on the front for an extended period of time, suffering heavy casualties.[6] In one engagement, the division lost 70 tanks to Soviet Ilyushin Il-2 aircraft in just 20 minutes.[7] After an advance of only 15 km and suffering heavy casualties, it abandoned its attempt to reach Kursk.[5]
Following the German defeat at Kursk, the 9th Panzer Division was heavily engaged in the German retreat to the Mius-Front, a line of German fortifications along the Mius River. It covered the retreat of the 2nd Panzer Army and the 9th Army, north of Orel and Kirov, then fought in a series of battles east of Bryansk at the end of August.[6] The division participated in fights at Stalino, Zaporozhye, Odessa, and Dnieper.[5] During these fights it suffered mounting losses, and by January 1944 it was reduced to 13 tanks and substantially under-strength infantry and artillery formations. It continued a slow retreat across the Ingulez and the Ingul, until it was pulled out of the fighting in April.[6]
Western FrontEdit
The division was subsequently sent to Nimes, France to rebuild, as many divisions mauled on the Eastern Front were.[8] On 1 May 1944, it absorbed men and tanks of the 155th Reserve Panzer Division to return to its full strength. During this absorption it received 31 Panzer IIIs, 74 Panzer IVs, 20 assault guns, 15 Panther tanks and 200 other vehicles.[6] The division then conducted training exercises up until June of that year. It was reassigned to an area on the Rhone River for a time.[5] It was in better shape than many of the other divisions in the area, which were refitting, forming, or lacked transportation to move effectively.[9]
Following the D-Day landings conducted by the Allies, the division was rushed to northern France to participate in the Battle of Normandy. At this time, its strength was up to 150 tanks and assault guns and 12,768 men. The division was sent to Avignon, before being sent to support the collapsing 7th Army in Normandy. The division arrived just as the army was encircled by American, French, British, and Canadian forces at Falaise. In the subsequent furious battle, the division was almost completely destroyed escaping the Falaise Pocket.[10] By late August, its strength was at around 1,500 organized in one infantry battalion, one artillery battalion, and 5 tanks.[5] However, it continued to cover the escape of Army Group G from Normandy.[6]
Following its near-destruction at Falaise, the division remained in the German Siegfried Line where it fought several engagements, most notably the Battle of Aachen. Over the next month, it lost over 1,000 men, two-thirds of its combat strength. At the end of September 1944, the 9th Panzer Division was sent into Army Group B's reserve and rehabilitated. It was given 11,000 more replacements and 178 armored vehicles, including 50 Panther tanks. It was to reinforce German units countering Operation Market Garden, but by the time it arrived at Arnhem, the Allied forces had been pushed back.[11] The 9th Panzer Division was returned to the line around Geilenkirchen and Aachen, where it launched a spoiling attack against US forces in the Peel Marshes in November, but only succeeded in losing 30 tanks in the process. It then reassembled west of the Rur River with a strength of 10,000 men, 28 Panther tanks and 14 Panzer IV tanks. Along with elements of the 15th Panzer Grenadier Division, 9th Panzer fought a bitter six-day battle with the U.S. 2nd Armored Division in the Puffendorf-Immendorf sector, knocking out 76 tanks and inflicting 1,300 casualties while suffering 1,100 men and 86 tanks lost.[11] Following this, the division was sent into the OKW reserve.[5] It continued fighting to slow the progress of the U.S. First Army pushing from the west, destroying its 2,325th enemy tank near Geilenkirchen.[11]
In December 1944, 9th Panzer was assigned to XLVII Panzer Corps again as part of the 5th Panzer Army, Army Group B and was one of the units participating in the Battle of the Bulge. At this time sPzAbt 301 (equipped with Tiger I tanks) was attached to the division. The Corps was part of the central attack, pushing back the U.S. Ninth Army. The division initially advanced quickly, but once the tide of the campaign turned in the Allies' favor, the division took extreme losses once again as Adolf Hitler refused to allow the German forces in the campaign to retreat in a timely manner. It was eventually pulled back to the German lines.[12]
In early 1945, the division engaged the Allied in fighting around the Eifel mountain range. It also participated in fighting around the Erft River in February, where its armored force was reduced to 29 tanks and 16 assault guns. Late in the month, it launched an attack on the Allied Remagen Bridgehead over the Rhine River, which failed to reach the Remagen Bridge. By the end of this fight, the division consisted of only 600 men and 15 tanks.[12]
The 9th Panzer Division's final combat assignment came in a battle near Cologne on 6 March, as a part of the battered LXXXI Corps, alongside the 363rd Volksgrenadier Division and the 3rd Panzergrenadier Division which were in equally poor shape, and the entire corps was barely the strength of one division. Facing them was the US 3rd Armored Division.[13] The division attempted to defend the town from attack, but was unable to make progress against American forces.[14]
After its unsuccessful attack, the shattered 9th Panzer Division was counterattacked by strong Allied forces. The division engaged the Americans in the city center of Cologne, but were quickly pushed back, and the divisional commander was killed. Remnants of the division attempted to flee across the Rhine River.[15] In the fighting that followed, the weak formation finally collapsed. Most of the remains of the division were forced into the Ruhr Pocket, continuing to suffer staggering losses while holding lines on the south flank of Army Group B until they surrendered to American forces in April 1945.[16] By this time, the demoralized soldiers of the division were entirely out of ammunition and gasoline, and remaining troops surrendering without a fight.[17] The division continued to exist briefly afterward; Major Halle, the division's adjutant, escaped the Ruhr encirclement with a small battle group, and joined the 11th Army in the Harz Mountains. There, on 26 April 1945, German commanders of OB West disbanded the 9th Panzer Division, absorbing its survivors into other units.[12]
Commanding officersEdit
The division was commanded by 11 people during its total history. This included General Friedrich Wilhelm von Mellenthin, who was acting division commander from December 1944 to February 1945 because General Harald Freiherr von Elverfeldt had been wounded in an Allied air attack.[18]

A leading Northern Irish industrialist who died in a helicopter crash was an example of what hard work and determination can achieve, mourners at his funeral have been told.
Self-made multi-millionaire Lord Ballyedmond was killed earlier this month along with three others when the helicopter came down shortly after take-off in foggy conditions near an estate he owned in Gillingham, Norfolk.
Also known as Dr Edward Haughey, the 70-year-old businessman, who lived in Co Down, was considered to be one of Ireland's richest men, with estimated wealth in excess of £800 million.
At requiem mass in Newry Cathedral, Co Down, Canon Francis Brown revealed the tycoon with a thirst for knowledge used his fortune for good, making many significant unpublished donations to charities and educational establishments.
"Lord Ballyedmond's death is painful for many people," the cleric said in his homily.
"Many people in Newry, and far beyond are suffering a huge loss. They are identifying, in the best way they can, with the pain and tremendous loss suffered by his wife Mary, his daughter Caroline, his sons Edward and James, the Haughey family and Edward's many friends."
Best known as chairman and founder of Co Down-headquartered Norbrook Laboratories, the largest privately-owned pharmaceutical company in the world, the father-of-three had a range of other business interests.
"He was a self taught, hard working, determined individual who had a thirst for knowledge," said Canon Brown.
Stressing the importance the businessman's family held in his life, the priest said the "great influence" he had on others extended beyond relations and friends.
"Edward made many significant donations over the years to educational establishments and charitable organisations," he said.
"Most of these were never published and many charities and schools in the locality benefited. He had a keen interest in the development of the science subjects in all educational establishments."
The service, which was attended by hundreds of mourners, was held ahead of burial across the Irish border in Lord Ballyedmond's native county of Louth.
Declan Small, Dr Haughey's site foreman at the Norbrook plant in Newry, also died in the crash. The 42-year-old's funeral was held yesterday in his home town of Mayobridge, Co Down.
Helicopter pilots Capt Carl Dickerson, 36, and Capt Lee Hoyle, 45, were also killed when the Agusta Westland AW139 came down in a field. The cause of the incident has yet to be determined with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch examining the circumstances.
A life peer with a seat in the House of Lords, first on behalf of the Ulster Unionist Party before switching to the Conservative Party, Dr Haughey had also previously sat in the upper house of the Republic of Ireland's parliament, the Seanad.
As well as the stately home in Norfolk, he owned Ballyedmond Castle in Rosstrevor, Co Down, and Corby Castle in Cumbria, as well as a property in Belgrave Square, London.
Born in 1944 in Dundalk, Co Louth, he began his pharmaceutical career in the US in the 1960s selling animal drugs.
He returned to Newry to set up his own business and founded Norbrook more than 40 years ago.
The company proved to be a highly innovative business and increased its margins by making many of the raw ingredients used in its medicines.
He expanded into Africa and became one of the largest veterinarian suppliers on the continent.
Two of his companies, Norbrook Laboratories and Norbrook Holdings, employ around 3,000 people worldwide, two thirds of them in Northern Ireland.
He also owned an air travel business, and at one stage the lease of Carlisle Airport in Cumbria, which he sold in 2008.
Apart from Northern Ireland and London, he had a house in Dublin's expensive Fitzwilliam Square, close to the city centre, owned two islands on Lake Victoria in Uganda, and was a collector of rare plants and trees.
In July 2008 he was made an honorary doctor of science by the University of Ulster.

Scholarships Opportunities
FAU scholarships are designed to reward, encourage, and assist students in pursuing academic excellence and leadership roles. Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement. Scholarships can also assist you to graduate with reduced debt.
Academic achievements, leadership positions, campus or community activities, work experience and financial need, are considered during the scholarship selection process. Additionally, some scholarships are awarded based on financial need or other specific criteria such as major, class level, First Generation or city of residence. Financial need is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
All FAU Scholarships will ONLY be calculated and disbursed for FAU credits. Consortium and Concurrent Enrollment will not be considered when calculating required credits for scholarships.
If selected to receive any scholarship, an email will be sent to the applicant's FAU email by mid-August.
Get Matched with the Right Scholarship
The 2020-2021 FAU Scholarship Application is available from January 22, 2020, to July 31, 2020.
Access the application from MYFAU, on the Money Matters tile.
- Only apply for scholarships to which you qualify.
- Highly recommended, as it saves time and narrows down your search, is the scholarship search feature in the scholarship application.
- Apply early, as application selection is limited!
- Some opportunities require additional information such as reference letters or supporting documentation.
All scholarships require a separate application. Be sure to read the requirements before submitting your application as corrections are not allowed once the application is submitted. Please note that meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee a scholarship award.
Scholarship donors are generous and caring people who unselfishly give to support the educational endeavors of students like you. A well written, thank you letter is important to the donors who appreciate hearing how their investment is paying off. Your letter acknowledges the value and significance of their contributions and encourages their continued support.
Merit Scholarships

Spirit of Atlantic Scholarship

Athletic Scholarships
A student-athlete may receive both institutional and outside aid up to the value of a full grant-in-aid (i.e. tuition and fees, housing and dining, and required course-related books) where athletics participation is a major criterion, in addition a student-athlete may receive other financial aid unrelated to athletics ability up to the total cost of attendance.
Total aid received may never exceed the student-athlete's total cost of attendance. A student-athlete is not eligible to participate if he or she receives financial aid that exceeds the cost attendance calculated by the University's Financial Aid Office. There is only one exception, Pell Grant plus Full Grant in Aid may be greater than total cost of attendance, Bylaw 15.1.1.
Athletics aid may not be awarded for a period greater than one year or for a period of less than one year. This means that it is not permissible to offer a guaranteed four year scholarship. An athletic scholarship may be renewed (or reduced or cancelled) at the end of the year.
During the period of the award, an athletics scholarship may not be increased, decreased or canceled on the basis of athletic ability, performance, contribution to team success, injury, or any other athletics related reason. Institutional athletics aid may be reduced or canceled during the year if the recipient:
- Renders himself or herself ineligible for intercollegiate competition;
- Fraudulently misrepresents any information on an application, letter of intent or financial aid agreement;
- Engages in serious misconduct warranting substantial disciplinary penalty;
- Voluntarily withdraws from a sport at any time for personal reasons.
A determination on the renewal of athletics aid will be made on or before July 1 for the following year. The financial aid office will send letters notifying each student of his or her renewal determination.
If a student-athlete's athletic aid is being reduced or canceled during the year, or reduced or not renewed for the following year, upon request, the student-athlete will be entitled to a hearing through established procedures outside of the athletic department. The student-athlete will be provided written notification of the opportunity for a hearing. The student must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing requesting appeal hearing. The student's written notification must be received by the deadline specified on the notification letter.

Important Note Regarding Concurrent/Consortium/Study Abroad Enrollment
Due to limited funding, all FAU Scholarships will ONLY be calculated and disbursed for FAU credits. Consortium and Concurrent Enrollment will not be considered when calculating required credits for scholarships.
Cautionary Note Regarding Scholarship Scams:
If you're unsure whether to pay a company for help finding financial aid, stop and think for a minute: What's being offered? Is the service going to be worth your money? Do the claims seem too good to be true? You might have heard or seen these claims at seminars, over the phone from telemarketers, or online:
- "Buy now or miss this opportunity." Don't give in to pressure tactics. Remember, the "opportunity" is a chance to pay for information you could find yourself for free. Check out our list of free sources of financial aid information below.
- "We guarantee you'll get aid." A company could claim it fulfilled its promise if you were offered student loans or a $200 scholarship. Is that worth a fee of $1,000 or more?
- "I've got aid for you; give me your credit card or bank account number." Never give out a credit card or bank account number unless you know the organization you are giving it to is legitimate. You could be putting yourself at risk of identity theft.

Today, Saturday, March 27, looks like another beautiful, sunny day. It's amazing how a few sunny days can make us feel better, help us forget the long, snowy winter, and put a new perspective on our life. Anything seems possible in the sunshine, and it usually is, if we just get out and do it. Kaja, my dog, chased a rabbit close to the church where I walk, but fortunately it got away by going into a hollow tree. Kaja was not willing to leave the tree and I had to coax her a lot, because she always thinks that somehow that rabbit is going to come out of the tree and jump in her mouth.
She just turned eight on St. Patrick's' Day and is actually developing arthritis and is not as active as she was in previous years. I sometimes wish I lived on a farm where she could run to her heart's content. I try to walk her twice a day and she goes in to my back yard several times a day, but it's not the same as being able to run like crazy, and be a dog. Jason, my son, tells me I spoil her and perhaps I do, but she does have allergies, and this is a very bad season. She is allergic to grasses and trees and many kinds of food. She is on prednisone, which will make her gain weight, and I think that is what he sees, but I can't have her scratching herself to death, which she does if she doesn't get her medicine.
Yesterday was a rewarding day for me. I went with a friend to hear a person speak about kinesiology, and it brought back memories of working with chakras and energy within the body. It encouraged me to begin to look back at alternative ways of being in and taking care of your body. I used to be very aware of and explored alternatives to being in this world. I fell into a funk after the tragedies I've experienced and am now beginning to resurface as to the potential around me and within this world.
At work, we had an Open House for the Childrens' Services Area and had other staff members at the Center come over to see what we do and look at some of our resources. What I did was establish a library with donated books, so that we know where and what we do have. We get many wonderful donations, but some are suitable and others not. So, it has been my good fortune to sort through many of those donations and try to create a working library. We don't have everything I'd like and I did not catalog them, but it is a great collection with many books that can be used by us with the children and that we can loan out or give to clients and their children. It is very rewarding to do this, because I learned many years ago when I was a librarian and taught Children's Literature that the single most important thing we ,as teachers and parents, can do for our children is read, read and read. Read to them, encourage them to read. Let them see us read, and have books available to them.
I'm very anxious to get out and work in the yard, but as always when I'm ready, the weather isn't and when the weather is I'm not. So I have to wait for my free hours and the sun to coincide, so I can get out to clean up the yard, rake, see what has transpired over the winter with the plantings, and begin to assemble the garden again. I do look at it as an assemblage of what has survived; new plantings and the fun of planning each new season again. I've been getting quite a few flower and vegetable catalogs, and I need to take some time to sit down and go over them. I also need to start some seeds inside which I am late getting started on, so I have a few weeks work ahead of me.
One of the things that I'm anxious to see work is the rain barrels I purchased last year. I bought two for my yard and one for Jason's yard. He recently built a platform for his just before the last rain, and he said it filled up, has tremendous pressure, and worked great. He is now building two platforms for mine, and making them about two feet high to provide some pressure. This will allow us to use the rain water for watering our small gardens, the trees, shrubs and other plantings. I took out my front yard lawn two years ago, because I can't see the work and waste of watering and cutting. I'm very happy with my new yard and may take out what little grass I have in the back yard this year. The rain barrels will help us both, and we won't be wasting water, a great natural resource, for artificial looks.
I've read some this month – some escape or trashies as I call them and a few thoughtful, informational books. A friend from church, Linda gave me a book that was in our church cloakroom and just resurfaced this month. I think she probably brought it around Christmas, and our paths didn't cross. Imagine my surprise when I opened it, and it was personally signed by the author to me. My friend travels a lot, and went to a book signing of his and had him write the dedication to me. What a sweet, caring friend! I was thrilled. It is a book of essays by David Sedaris entitled. When you are Engulfed in Flames. It's funny while serious and deep while light-handed. I've just started it.
Others I've enjoyed were Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich, another of her crazy adventures about Stephanie Plum, her main character and bounty hunter. The Street Lawyer by John Grisham, Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Two Lives and a Dream by Marguerite Yourcenar, which is three tales. Another by Nadine Gordimer, whose novels I hadn't read for quite a while, about a South African woman, A Sport of Nature. John Le Carre's Our Game and Susan Wiggs' The FireBrand. I also read two books for youth. One by Linda Sue Park who wrote a Newberry Medal book called A Single Shard. This one was called When My Name was Keoko. I also read a Nancy Drew Mystery by Carolyn Keene. I'm sure many of you older folks remember reading Nancy Drew Stories or Hardy Boys Mysteries. One of the boxes donated to The Center contained several Nancy Drew stories and a couple Hardy Boys. For the girls Carolyn Keene provided a female heroine who was independent and operated on her own. A rare kind of book in those days.
Plant some flowers!

Do you want to know what of the living room area of your home is taken care of our end of tenancy cleaning service in Lime Street? It's all very simple – with us, everything will be thoroughly cleaned to the smallest detail – your landlord or real estate agent could find an oversight once we are done. The living room could be a challenge to a non-professional as there are a lot of end of tenancy cleaning tasks in it but we know exactly what to do and how to do it. All cobwebs will be removed from the walls and ceiling by our cleaners. We will clean all interior windows, window-sills, window shades, doors door-handles, door-frames, skirting boards, picture frames, mirrors and showcases, light and lampshades and light switches, power points, as well as all shelves, the interior and exterior of the cupboards, drawers and so on. The waste baskets will be emptied and cleaned, every piece of upholstered furniture – footstools, chairs, sofas – will be also cleaned, of course the floor will be thoroughly vacuumed, even underneath the sofas.
It goes without saying that our employees will also clean items which you would like to be a part of the service, in addition to the above if there are any. Your individual needs are always taken into account and our service is 100% tailored to them.
Go over the Lime Street cleaning company profile before you book any services provided by it and in case that there is information about the provided services, review it in detail. Keep in mind that some cleaning companies may provide cheaper services, not covering aspects which are essential for you, while others may include more than you actually need and thus may be more expensive, and third may offer various packages and individually tailored options – the cleaning services of the different companies widely vary from one to the next. Do not forget to compare the information on several Lime Street cleaning companies' websites; usually there is enough choice and it is up to you to make it. You might want to see more details (such as special packages, discounts, the company's methods of cleaning, equipment, experience, etc.) which could help you to identify the right service and company for yourself, while you are on the website of a cleaning company. If there are any on the website, previous customers' referrals are also a good way to get an idea.
The employees of End Of Tenancy are with us because of their impressive experience in this field, their skillfulness, zeal and equally important, their trustworthiness. They are also trained in all standard operational procedures, policies and corporal culture of End Of Tenancy, which makes them confident to complete their cleaning to a perfect, textbook result without supervision – even if you have not provided them with a compiled cleaning checklist. Because of their expert abilities and company training, our cleaners will not allow mistakes and will solve any possible predicament and produce just the results that you need, regardless of the size and the condition of the vacated property in Lime Street. Our end of tenancy cleaning service could be performed at short notice because we at End Of Tenancy realize that your time is precious as the end of tenancy cleaning is the final thing to do before vacating the real estate for most leaseholders. We also offer flexible hours, in which it can be carried out in. Please take into account that all quotes for this service are individually formed because they depend on the size of the property and we try to offer the lowest possible prices. However, there is also a minimum charge, which you can find out in the prices section. Please tell us about the size of the property so you can get a proper free quote. Based on the information which you give the specialists of End Of Tenancy, they will come up with approximate quotes for you.
What does the end of tenancy cleaning service in Lime Street carry out at the kitchen area of the house or flat?
We know that when it comes to end of tenancy cleaning, the kitchen and the food processing and preparation area in particular call for more time and effort from any of the other premises in the house, and we spend a fair amount of time to the end of tenancy cleaning chores in it. Our teams will thoroughly wipe down the kitchen doors, door-knobs, door-cases, the interior windows, window-sills and all kitchen appliances (toasters, kettles and so on). The dishwasher and clothes washer, microwave, fridge and freezer will be scrubbed and disinfected. The employees of End Of Tenancy will clean the kitchen cooker in detail – the cooktop and the oven, and of course, they will not miss out the extractor fan and all surrounding surfaces as well, because there might be spills of grease and oil, milk, fossilised sugar, and so on left after cooking. Our cleaners will wipe down all high-use surfaces, such as the worktop, all kitchen cabinets, cupboards and drawers inside and out and will clean and buff all metal and stainless steel surfaces until they shine. All trace of limescale and mineral deposits will be cleared away from the kitchen sink, the taps and the soap dispenser, which will be cleaned. Our employees will also clean the trash bin and vacuum the kitchen floor. It goes without saying that our cleaners will also clean more items which you want cleaned, in addition to the above in case that there are any. Your individual needs are always taken into account and our end of tenancy cleaning service is absolutely tailored to them.

If you've ever been annoyed by the speed of your user-generated videos on YouTube, then fear not avid creator.
YouTube has just added a new "slowmo" tool to its YouTube Editor enhancements, which does pretty much exactly what it sounds like. "You'll get a smooth, slomo video that makes it look like it was filmed with a high-speed camera," the site states on the YouTube creator's blog.
Why would you want to transform your video into slow motion? Well, my guess is about 90 percent of the time it'll be for comedic effect, and 1 percent devoted to classic rap music videos. The remaining 9 percent of the time it'll be used in conjunction with YouTube's other video tools (cropping, audio editing, transitions, etc.) when trying to create something artistic.
And apparently, slow-motion videos are quite popular on YouTube, with the site even pointing out that YouTube channel partners The Slow Mo Guys having over 2 million subscribers.
Check out one example of the slomo tool in action via the before and after videos embedded below.

08/14/2010 // US // TiffNews10 // News Desk
U.S. – A unique product set to hit the market puts a different spin on canned goods and the way to eat a sandwich. As reported by the Todayshow.com, the Candwich produced by Mark Kirkland, can be preserved for long periods and is touted as an ideal meal for moms and kids on the go.
Kirkland is quoted in the report as stating of the product, "So think about it… You're a mom running your kids between school, piano lessons, soccer. Stopping at a fast-food restaurant takes time. This is something that literally could roll around the car for a few months. … I kind of compare it to bottled water when it first came out. At the time I thought, 'Why would I pay a dollar for a bottle of water when I can just go to the water fountain?' Now I drink bottled water every day. It's convenient."
More information about the product may be available at http://markonefoods.com/index.html.

I was diagnosed with acute thyroiditis, which is medicated exclusively using synthetic steroids, namely Prednisolone. I was overwhelmed and overworked weighing in at 90kgs experiencing high blood pressure, heart palpitations and an array of other symptoms. Which is when i was referred to Tatiana by a friend, I couldn't believe my eyes, 3 weeks into the dietary programe and I have already lost 8 kgs, goodbye Prednisolone and heart palpitations no more, Now im feeling on top of the world in contrast to just 3 Months ago!
3 months in I have lost 18kg's and my blood pressure has stabilized, and with that being said my husband lost 12 kgs who is also very thrilled, – Svetlana
"I was suffering from a string of symptoms resembling those of an asthmatic, always short of breath, waking up in cold sweat in the middle of the night a persistent tightness in my chest. After a few hospital visits I was referred to Tatiana via a family friend, and I'm ecstatic to say that Tatiana has done wonders for me in the time I've spent with her. Tatiana is phenomenal at what she does and I have found her to be professional, empathetic and knowledgeable. My breathing has never been better! Thank you for everything! – Andrew
Before 1.5 months after
My weight was once at a critical threshold, that being 122kg's (at a height of just 172cm)
I was suffering from high blood pressure, A reading of 150/100 was the norm for me and 180/110 slightly raised, the doctors verdict in this respect was that "it happens, cest la vie"
To add to this I was also suffering from recurring headaches,an overwhelming feeling of lethargy and brain fog in conjunction with an insatiable appetite.
The never ending search for the 'magic pill' has overwhelmed me in ways that you would never imagine, all while having a considerable toll on my wellbeing,time,money and most importantly my health!
After taking part in Tatiana's dietary programe I have lost 32KGs! My blood pressure has stabilised to 120/80 and trust me when I say, I am just so happy because I feel 10 years younger. I can think clearly now and I am just so grateful for meeting Tatiana as she is the very epitome of healthy eating, life values and well-being.
I am ever so grateful! – Erina

Did you know that a very special holiday is coming up on October 31st of this year? No, I'm not talking about Halloween. On October 31, 1517, a courageous man named Martin Luther made history when he nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, proposing that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Christ, and our final authority for theology is the Bible, not the church.
Although Luther intended only to start a theological discussion, his 95 Theses sparked the Protestant Reformation. When asked to recant at the Diet of Worms, Luther spoke the famous words, "Here I stand, I can do no other, God help me! Amen."
This year Protestant churches around the world are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. If you are looking for something unique to wear on October 31st this year, we've got you covered! Early Star has produced four new t-shirts, available in 5 colors and men's, women's, and youth sizes.
The Wittenberg Door shirt features an original line drawing of the door in Wittenberg where Luther nailed the 95 Theses, and the Here We Stand shirt bears the title "Here We Stand," surrounded by the 5 Solas of the Reformation in both Latin and English proclaiming the Protestant distinctives: "Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone, To the Glory of God Alone." The Luther Quote German/English shirt displays Luther's famous quote from the Diet of Worms in German and English, and the Martin Luther Quote shirt features a shortened version of the same quote. (Great conversation starter when people ask, "What language is that on your shirt?")
All four shirts are available in the Early Star Gift Shop, a brand-new resource where you can find our short list of carefully selected gift ideas for the entire family.
When you click the link to purchase a shirt from the Gift Shop, you will be taken to its listing on Amazon.com, where you can make your secure purchase, with free two-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime.

One little gem I've come across is the book, Sally Wister's Journal: A True Narrative, which describes "a Quaker maiden's experiences with officers of the Continental Army, 1777-1778." This 1995 paperback offered by Applewood Books of Bedford, MA is a reprint of the original 1902 publication. You can find it (the 1995 publication) on Amazon. It's a very quick read–just 62 pages. The Foulke family website offers the 1902 publication's introduction by Albert Cooke Myers which is absent from the 1995 reprint. Mr. Myers' lengthy introduction really needs to be read in tandem with the Journal as it contains important information about the Wister family and the historical context. However, I highly recommend viewing the original 1902 book. You can download it for free from Google Books. It contains a great deal of rich detail including Mr. Myers' excellent introduction. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Sally was just sixteen when she wrote this journal during a year's absence from her home in Philadelphia. She and her family left the city once it was clear to them that the British would soon be arriving to occupy the city. They stayed in the countryside to the northwest of the Philadelphia in one half of a mansion owned by the Foulke family with whom they were extremely close. She wrote the journal as a way of keeping up correspondence with a dear friend in Philadelphia with the thought that the friend would get to read the journal once Sally got back to the city. In reality, the friend never actually knew of the journal's existence until after Sally's death in 1804. The journal is full of details about her daily activities, thoughts, and flirtations. She describes all the comings and goings of the American army's generals, colonels, lieutenants and other important military figures, as well as Sally's and her family's trepidation at news reports of troops on the move or upon hearing sudden strange sounds. At some points the mansion was used for extended stays by various officers. Sally's descriptions of them are often quite amusing–she develops an obvious crush on a major who enters her life on several occasions and seems to reciprocate her feelings. I won't spoil anything for you by telling you what happened to each of them, detail contained in Mr. Myers' introductory information.
So what does this have to do with our bit of the Brodhead family? Well, our fifth-great uncle appears in this journal entry dated May 11, 1778:
"In the afternoon, we were just seated at tea,–Dr. Moore with us. Nelly (our girl) brought us the wonderful intelligence that there were light horse in the road. The tea-table was almost deserted. About 15 light horse were the vanguard of almost 1,600 men under the command of Gen'l Maxwell. I imagin'd that they wou'd pass immediately by, but I was agreeably disappointed. My father came in with the Gen'l, Col. Broadhead, Major Ogden and Capt. Jones. The Gen'l is a Scotsman–nothing predisposing in his appearance; the Col. (Broadhead) very martial and fierce; Ogden a genteel young fellow, with an aquiline nose."
This is our fifth-great-grandfather Garret Brodhead's brother, Daniel (1736-1809). You would not necessarily know this straight away unless you read the 1902 book which contains additional biographical detail. Sally, of course has misspelled his last name–you know how it is–someone's always adding that extra "a." Though later a brigadier general, Daniel was a colonel when he led his troops in 1777 during the defense of Philadelphia and during his winter with Gen. Washington at Valley Forge (1777-1778). Valley Forge by the way is very close to where the Wisters were staying.
Lastly, of special note are an autograph and a photograph of a miniature included with the 1902 book:
The description of the miniature states that "it was in the possession of Mrs. Johnson of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, widow of the late Henry Johnson, Esq., of Muncy, PA, to whom it descended through his mother, Mrs. Rebecca J. Johnson, granddaughter of General Brodhead. In his will dated August 8, 1809, probated in Wayne Co., Pennsylvania, November 25, 1809, General Brodhead thus disposed of his portraits: "I give to my Granddaughter Rebecca Johnson (late Rebecca Heiner) my miniature picture set in gold" and "to my Granddaughter Catharine Brodhead my small portrait picture." The miniature, in size 1 5/8 x 1 1/4 inches, is painted on ivory and set in a gold frame. The eyes are blue, and the hair white. The uniform is blue with scarlet facings. The waistcoat and stock are white.
The autograph is "from signature to a letter, dated Sommerset, April 24, 1777, to General Lincoln, Dreer Collection, Historical Society of Pennsylvania."

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Here's what I've been working on the last week. Mom mentioned 4 days ago that she wished she had an autumn themed runner for her table for the upcoming holiday. So I've gotten it pieced, but not backed and quilted yet. Here's the design I drew in EQ:
And the actual thing in fabric looks pretty much like my initial design:
Notice on the bottom right corner between the leaf square and the maroon square that I ran out of bobbin thread on the LAST seam - I lacked about an inch or two. Isn't that always the way it goes?
And here's what I learned how to do on our quilt guild's retreat - Happy Villages. We cut stairstep chunks of fabric, lightly glued them down, added doors, windows, and roofs, then covered the whole thing with a layer of tulle and quilted it.
I've still got to bind this one. I'm thinking blue binding to match the sky/ocean around the top and blue sides, then where the edges turn beige for buildings, I'll switch to tan binding and go around the bottom and tan sides.
It was great fun to make, and now I'm thinking of making holiday themed ones... wouldn't it be neat to make one for Easter, say, and buy some fabric with little eggs on it... then hide them all over the village? A Christmas one with candycanes and gingerbread? A Halloween house in shades of black and gray, with spooky things looking out the windows and pumpkins everywhere?
I also made a design wall... and I must say I love using one more than I thought. It's one of those dressmaker's accordian fold boards, with a cheap vinyl/flannel tablecloth carpet-taped to it... then those inexpensive metal expanding curtain rods are clipped to the top and bottom to hold it out straight.

A 401k Summary Plan Description
May 24 Leave a comment
What is a summary plan description and why should I have one for my 401k? Glenn A. Rivera, Harvey, IL 60426
Glenn, a summary plan description is the document that tells your employees about the 401k plan you offer for their benefit. This document has to explain the plan to the participant employees in a clear and comprehensive manner. You need this document to educate your employees about the 401k you are offering and to ensure that they do not sign up for participation harboring any misunderstandings.
The SPD generally covers the following aspects of the plan:
- Eligibility criteria to participate in the plan- includes when and how employees become eligible
- Information about contributions
- Vesting schedule
- How and when employees can start getting benefits
- Process of filing claims for benefits
- Withdrawal/ loan eligibility, process and interest rates
- Rollover procedures
- Description of the employee's rights and responsibilities with respect to the plan as specified by the ERISA
- The expenses that will be incurred and paid by the plan
Every employee participant should be given a copy of the plan's SPD. You also need to ensure that the SPD is given out at periodic intervals to all employees of your business. The employees will also receive a copy when they start getting their first benefits from the plan.
The SPD is different from the 401k's plan document. While the SPD contains a brief outline of the plan's key features, the plan document is a long winded full description of the plan. Consider the SPD a reference document for your employees when they need to clarify a doubt about a 401k feature, process or a procedure.
A clearly written SPD is a very helpful document for your employees because it acquaints them with the basics of your 401k. Once they have read and understood this document they can easily track and manage their 401k plan with a DIY plan like http://401k-easy-online.com/.

Plant Medicine Centers
Retreat Management & Booking Software
There are several key reasons why plant medicine centers love using Retreat Booking Guru:
- We can collect deposits and balances from your guests' credit cards and wire the money directly to your bank account
- It is easy to pre-qualify your retreat participants by creating a custom intake form (including detailed medical questions)
- Access to information about your guests is at your fingertips – room assignment, payments, arrival info etc.
- Communicating with your retreat participants is easier than ever – you can send automated confirmation messages and pre-arrival emails, and bulk emails to retreat groups anytime you like.
Payment Processing for Plant Medicine Centers
Due to the location of your center (Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador etc.), and the nature of your business (ayahuasca, San Pedro ceremonies etc.), qualifying for a payment processing account can be a challenge. Retreat Guru provides convenient payment processing for many reputable plant medicine centers in South and Central America, and it works like this: your guests pay the deposit and/or full balance via credit card through a secure online form, and Retreat Guru collects the funds on your behalf. Twice a month we wire the money to the bank account of your choice. You'll find more information on our payout policy here.
Pre-Qualify Your Retreat Participants
We know that you need to qualify your participants to make sure they are healthy and a good fit for plant medicine experiences. In our software, it is easy to create a custom intake form (i.e. medical questionnaire) that is required as a part of the application/registration process. You can also accept a deposit at the same time so that if they do qualify you don't need to chase them for payment. If you need to decline their application, refunding their credit card and sending them a notification about it is done by clicking one easy button.
View Retreat Guest Reports
Instead of digging through emails to find out who is coming to your center or what meal requests your participants had, you can easily view elegant reports anytime you need them! You can also run financial reports to see how much revenue you generated for a particular retreat or date range.
Automated and Personalized Communication
You'll love that our system sends automated (yet highly personalized) emails to your participants when they apply/register for a retreat. The confirmation email can include a copy of their invoice as well as a copy of their application with a link to update information in real time if they missed something or made a mistake on the form.

Mark Zuckerberg gives Samsung a pat on the back for the Gear VR
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a surprise appearance onstage during Samsung's keynote at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Sunday.
During his remarks, Facebook's chief executive spoke about the company's vision for virtual reality and praised Samsung for its Gear VR headset, calling it the best mobile virtual reality headset available.
"One day you're going to be able to put on a headset and that's going to change the way you live, work and communicate," Zuckerberg said.
He cited Samsung's OLED technology as one of the defining factors that makes Samsung's headset better than its competitors. Facebook and Samsung have partnered on their virtual reality efforts for some time. Facebook-owned Oculus provides software for the Gear VR.
Zuckerberg: Samsung is the only company that can deliver the best mobile VR experience because of its oled screens pic.twitter.com/D9QpRvT5Hd
— Raymond Wong (@raywongy) February 21, 2016
He also detailed new updates to Facebook's 360-degree videos, which can be viewed in virtual reality headsets like Samsung's. A new feature called dynamic streaming, expected to roll out in the coming weeks, promises to quadruple these videos' resolution while decreasing the bandwidth necessary to stream them by a factor of four, according to the company.
But 360-degree video is just one area of virtual reality the company is exploring. The social network has also created a "Social VR" team that will work to create social applications for virtual reality. Zuckerberg says the team is working "closely" with the Oculus teams and others at Facebook, according to the company.
New Facebook team assembled to build social VR apps says zuckerberg pic.twitter.com/BDJSihjn6n
— Raymond Wong (@raywongy) February 21, 2016
While Facebook says these efforts are still early, Zuckerberg's comments offered an interesting look into how the company sees the future of virtual reality as one that's inherently social.

City Council Candidate: "I Thank God for Slavery" | Politics
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Kimberly Daniels doesn't shy away from her past, which is obvious in a YouTube video put together by the activist group Truth Wins Out.
Daniels is in a run-off against David Taylor for the At-Large Group 1 seat on City Council.
She offers her story candidly in an interview on the video; she says there are examples of how she has found God's grace.
"I wound up going to Florida State and getting addicted to drugs," she told the interviewer in the video. "Then dealing drugs, getting addicted to drugs and winding up in prostitution."
According to its website, Truth Wins Out (TWO) is an organization that fights anti-gay speech and religious extremism.
The group says it doesn't like her comments regarding exorcism of homosexuals. It also said she should step down because of her comments about slavery.
"I thank God for slavery," she said, during a sermon shown in the video. "I thank God for the crack house. If it wasn't for the crack house, God wouldn't use me the way he is using me. And if it wasn't for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshiping a tree."
In a quick snippet edited into the video, she talks about Jews and the Holocaust, though it's so fast that the context of the comments is inaudible.
However, the edited segment shows Daniels saying, "You can talk about the Holocaust, but the Jews own everything."
The executive director and creator of TWO, Wayne Besen, said he's not interested in hearing an apology from Daniels.
"There is nothing she can say that would erase and change what she has said about Jewish and gay people," he said during a telephone interview.
"She has no excuse," he continued, "When you say things like that, you need to step down."
Despite multiple attempts to reach Daniels at her campaign office and church today, she did not return calls.
Her competitor in the council race, David Taylor, referred questions to his consultant, John Daigle.
Daigle said the campaign didn't want to comment about the issue. He continued by saying his candidate had nothing to do with the video, and that they had never heard of TWO.
The run-off election is May 17.
