Our students thank you for your support!
We want to thank you for your donations. We are trying to get our GED, and without your help and your support may not accomplish it. Thank you!
To: The Community
Sub: A thank you note
I want to thank the community for the help and support you are giving us. Some of us are trying real hard to study for our GED certificate. Without the free GED classes, we would be ungainly lost. Most of us lost our jobs and we are looking for work. Concerned about being unemployed, I also attend GED classes. I want to be able to find a job and a new career with a positive attitude, and also to reach my goals. My goals are to be more educated and find a career that I will love doing. When I get my GED, I want to help and support someone else. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
Sincerely yours,
A determined person
I would like to thank Literacy Volunteers for helping me to improve my reading and writing. I do come to school to prepare myself for a GED. With the education so far I am able to help my children with homework easily, and my children are very proud of me. One of my children has reached an honor roll of 4.0 in school. I believe it is because of my support. My goal is to go to college when I get my GED.

My name is Suzie Q. Stofik. I am currently a student at Literacy Volunteers. The teachers here have been most generous with me. I am been going here for five months now, and have advanced greatly. Starting at a third grade level, I am now at the eighth grade level. I also have plans for college when I graduate.
You are greatly appreciated!
Suzie Q. Stofik
Dear Literacy Volunteers:
I am very thankful for your program. I am attending the GED class because I need it to achieve for my children. The education I am receiving is helping me understand today's material. Before I started this class, I was insecure about knowing and comprehending the subjects I was given. My goals are to become a pharmacy technician, to better support my children and to live without worry. So, thank you for giving me, and other adults who need to be educated, a chance to move forward. Please continue to do what is needed, and don't hesitate to go beyond.
Thank you
My name is Ronette Goode. I'm 43 years old. I am a mother of 4. When I was 15 years old I became a mother. I did not complete high school. I completed the 11th grade. Unfortunately, I didn't go back for many years. I tried 14 years ago, but my responsibilities at home became demanding. When I became aware of your school of opportunity, I became excited. What this class has done for me is to realize how important education is. Being given another chance to become a successful citizen has made me appreciate what my community has made available for people like me. I want to take this time to thank those in my community for making the chance for me and others to receive our GED. My future goal for myself is to further educate myself as a social worker to help the less fortunate. My dream is to have a shelter for battered women and children. So once again, on behalf of my fellow classmates, I want to say thanks so much for the wonderful gift!
Thank you
Ronette Goode
Our Sincere Thanks to YOU!
Everyone at Literacy Volunteers is extremely grateful for the generous community support received each year. Individual donor contributions make up the third largest source of funding for our Learn Centers! This means that our services would not be successful without your help. Each year, we share student stories because these are true faces that benefit from your support. Literacy Volunteers is a community based program, so our volunteers and individual donors are truly invaluable to us!
The services you support each year are vital for our community because 24% of the adult population in Phoenix does not have a high school diploma, and 1 in 5 adults reads below the 5th grade level. Our programs serve unemployed and underemployed adults in our community who are seeking education as a way to improve their employment status and create a sustainable lifestyle. Adult literacy programs strengthen our workforce by opening doors to higher education, job training programs and increased involvement in the community. Individuals with a GED earn on average $8,000 more per year in taxable income, and wages continue to increase with higher education.
We want you to know that your contribution impacts not only individuals in our community, but also employers and families. Thank you for continuing to support adult literacy and Arizona's workforce. Education truly is the key to strong families, a strong workforce and a strong community!

Film Screening and Artist's Talk
The Getty Center
Date: Thursday, May 10, 2012
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location: Harold M. Williams Auditorium
Admission: Free
The J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Research Institute invite you to a special program in conjunction with the Getty's Art on Screen initiative. Featuring films and a presentation by noted film artist Tacita Dean, and a proposal to have UNESCO recognize the medium of film as a world cultural heritage. 5:00-6:30 p.m. Screening of films by Tacita Dean 7:00-7:45 p.m. FILM and Film 7:45-8:30 p.m. UNESCO proposal presented by Tacita Dean and cinematographer Guillermo Navarro, followed by discussion with leading filmmakers and artists Films to be screened: (5:00-6:30 p.m.) A Bag of Air (3 min.; 1995; 16 mm.) "If you rise at dawn in a clear sky, and during the month of March, they say that you can catch a bag of air so intoxicated with the essence of Spring that when it is distilled and prepared, it will produce an oil of gold, remedy enough to heal all ailments…." - Tacita Dean (narration from the film) Kodak (44 min.; 2006; 16 mm.) "I was trying to get hold of black and white film for my 16mm camera ... and ... I was told that Kodak had stopped producing it ... I found five rolls in New York and I decided on a whim to think about using it to film the Kodak factory in Chalon-sur-Saône, at this point not knowing that they had just decided to stop all film production there. The idea of the film was to use its obsolete stock on itself. The point is that it's a medium that's just about to be exhausted." (Tacita Dean) Michael Hamburger (28 min.; 2007; 16 mm.) This film about the Berlin-born British poet and translator Michael Hamburger evolved from a commission for an exhibition about the writer, W.G. Sebald. Sebald meets Hamburger in a chapter of his book, The Rings of Saturn, and focuses on him exclusively in relation to the subject of apples - 'fruit to outlast our days' — which Hamburger cultivated in his Suffolk orchard. "Though Hamburger is said to have despaired of reviews of his poetry which declared that he was 'better known as a translator', we might detect a similar deprecation of his self, by himself, in the film which shares his name. Unwilling, perhaps unable, to talk of his past and his migrations, most especially fleeing Nazism in 1933, he talks poignantly, instead, of his apple trees, of where they have come from, and of their careful cross breeding. Purity is dismissed, and one senses with an awkward pathos that the poet is translating himself." –– Jeremy Millar in Waterlog, Castle Museum, Norwich. (Film selection subject to change) FILM and Film (7:00-7:45 p.m.) Tacita Dean talks about FILM, her installation at the Tate Modern in London. This work is an 11-minute, silent 35 mm film that is projected onto a 13 meter-tall white monolith. Dean also discusses her use of masterful techniques of analogue filmmaking to create FILM, a work that would not have been possible in digital format. FILM has been called "a love letter to a disappearing medium."

Kane is now clearly larger than his old self, but still close to ordinary men in his newsroom.
Famous transition sequence showing disintegration of marriage . . .
. . . showing the transformation at various stages from newly weds to middle-aged couple . . .
. . . culminating in the complete alienation.
Susan Alexander. At lower left corner, you can see the glass ball that appeared in the beginning the film. Child pictures of her figuratively link their childhood and explain why Kane is attracted by her. But the rub is that it's not what she wants but what he wants her to be.
Kane for Governor
Kane's son and wife; politics was the last link that helds this family and one that broke it.
You're fired.
This shot could not be done with deep focus. So Welles combined two different shots (Kane and Leland/background) through optical printer. It achieves the same effect as deep focus, with every plane in clear focus.
This time a transition is achieved by playing old shot optically printed into second shot, as to say Kane's firing was stamped into his consciousness.
At the crux of their relationship was Kane's support of Alexander was not what she wanted but what he wanted her to be.
Opera produced for obsessed Kane. He's the only one clapping for her performance.
Declaration of Principles
A visual pun as Alxander is literally swallowed under Kane's shadow.
This shot - poison, unconscious Alexander, locked door, Kane rushing in - tells the whole story of Alexander's suicide attempt in a single frame.
Like this scene, there are often scenes that echo previous scenes in the film.
Aging and death, the ultimate equalizer
Kane is reflected in multiple set of mirrors as Kane reflects upon himself near the end of his life.
And you thought you had hard time moving.
Rosebud revealed
The movie ends just as it began except for smokes that is all that remains of Charles Foster Kane.

Urban Meyer was announced on Monday as the 24th football coach in the history of the Ohio State University football program.
Meyer signed a six-year deal at $4 million annually. He will receive supplemental compensation bonuses if he remains head coach in 2014, 2016 and 2018, according to the university.
Meyer will not coach the Buckeyes in the team's bowl game. Luke Fickell, who served as interim coach this past season, will coach the team. Meyer announced he met with Fickell on Sunday night and decided to keep Fickell on his staff although it was not immediately clear as to the role he would play on the staff.
Meyer was rumored to be the candidate for the job for several weeks but Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said that the first formal contact with Meyer was made on Nov. 20.
Smith said he and three Ohio State trustees met with Meyer face-to-face last Wednesday. Then, he presented him a contract and Meyer agreed to terms on Monday morning.
Meyer has 20 years of football coaching experience, most recently serving as head coach at the University of Florida, from 2005 to 2010. Under his leadership, the Florida Gators won two BCS National Championships (2006, 2008). He has received numerous awards, including Coach of the Decade from both Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News (2009).
While at the University of Florida, Meyer helped lead an effort to raise $50 million for scholarships for first-generation college students.
Meyer won two national championships at Florida and compiled a 65-15 record in six years with the Gators before stepping down last year to spend more time with his family. He worked as a commentator for ESPN this past season.
Meyer said on Monday that he was in good health and hoped to establish a better work-life balance.
Meyer was born in Toledo and calls Ashtabula his hometown. He received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati and his master's degree in sports administration at Ohio State. He was an Ohio State assistant under Earle Bruce in 1986-87 and then went on as an assistant at Illinois State, Colorado State and Notre Dame.
His first head coaching job was at Bowling Green State University in 2001. He then moved onto Utah where he coached until he took the job at Florida in 2005.
Meyer said that he spoke with Bruce and former Ohio State coaches John Cooper and Jim Tressel about the position. Tressel texted 10TV's Dom Tiberi, saying that Meyer reached out to him and Tressel wished him the best and asked that Meyer take care of his coaches and players.
Tressel stepped down as coach in May after mounting pressure from an NCAA disciplinary hearing and revelations about the culture of the program after six players were suspended by the NCAA for selling or trading uniforms and other memorabilia to a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.
Meyer met with Ohio State players before his news conference and said meeting quarterback Braxton Miller was the highlight of his day. Meyer indicated that he planned to call plays as head coach and would hire an offensive coordinator.
The Buckeyes ranked near the bottom of the country in passing yards in 2011.

over the summer, Nancy and i have been speaking from the Book of Psalms on Sunday mornings during worship.
the Book of Psalms contains some wonderful literature and language; the poetry and prayers are beautiful for reflection and reading. the Psalms are great for several reasons.
1. they're complete passages/thoughts. when a pastor/teacher/anyone speaks from sections of a book or letter, it's impossible to truly get the vibe and tone of the whole text; there is something lost. not so with the Psalms.
2. excellent prayers, poetry, songs. this is the prayer book of the Old Testament. these are the praise and worship choruses of the Old Testament.
3. they speak eloquently of the character and nature of God.
it's my turn to speak this coming Sunday and i'm speaking from Psalm 146.
first and foremost, Psalm 146 is a praise Psalm. it has the classic structure of a Psalm of praise.
an introduction, verses 1 and 2, which is a call to praise: "Praise the LORD! Let all that I am praise the LORD. I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath." (New Living Translation).
the body of the Psalm gives the reasons for praising the LORD. verses 3 through 9 in the case of Psalm 146.
and a conclusion, verse 1o, which is a renewed call to praise: "The LORD will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations. Praise the LORD!" (New Living Translation).
on another level, this Psalm has significant implications for social justice.
verse 7: "…[the LORD] gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry." (New Living Translation)
verse 9: "The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows…" (New Living Translation)
Psalm 146 ties praise and worship and acts of social justice together. could it be that God is just as pleased with acts of service and social justice as he is with singing songs of praise? could it be that social justice and acts of service to others are acts of praise?
the political, social, and Kingdom implications are clear.
do we have ears to listen?

US industrial interests took centre-stage at the start of Barack Obama's visit to India as he and the prime minister, Narendra Modi, outlined a deal to limit the legal liability of US suppliers in the event of a nuclear power plant catastrophe.
Thirty years after an infamous chemical leak killed thousands at Union Carbide's factory in Bhopal, the threat of tough Indian compensation laws has frustrated US hopes of an export boom in the energy sector – despite an agreement by former US president George W Bush to share civil nuclear technology in 2005.
After pressure from US diplomats, the Indian government was thought to have agreed a state-backed insurance scheme that would cap the exposure of nuclear suppliers and open the door to billions of dollars of new contracts. India will also allow closer tracking of spent fuel to limit the risk of it falling into terrorist hands.
"Today we achieved a breakthrough understanding on two issues that were holding up our civil nuclear cooperation," Obama said on Sunday.
"The [2005] civil nuclear agreement was the centrepiece of our transformed relationship, which demonstrated new trust and economic opportunities and expanded our option for clean energy," added Modi.
"In the course of the past four months we have worked with a sense of common purpose to move it forward ... I am pleased we have agreed the next stage, consistent with our law and technical and commercial viability."
Details of the deal remain vague, however, and officials stressed they were still working out the finer arrangements of the scheme, which is designed to avoid the need to change Indian law.
"We think we came to an understanding of the liability" issue, said the US ambassador to Delhi, Richard Verma, which will operate "through a memorandum of law within the Indian system".
To fuel its rapidly industrialising economy, India hopes to increase the share of electricity generated from nuclear sources from 4% to 25% by 2050, and the issue has taken on added significance after separate environmental talks failed to agree carbon reduction targets of the sort the US reached with China.
Modi said he supported efforts to tackle climate change, but pointedly refused to accept comparisons with the recent US deal with China, which India views as further ahead in its industrialisation phase.
"We expressed hope for a successful Paris conference on climate change this year," said the Indian prime minister. "The agreement that has been concluded between the US and China does not impose pressure on us; India is an independent country. But climate change and global warning itself is huge pressure."
The two leaders trumpeted more limited deals on air pollution and renewable energy that the US president said would help "promote clean energy and confront climate change". The US said it would share data and tools to help improve air quality.
But ahead of the summit, US analysts expected the nuclear deal to be the key "deliverable" of Obama's visit and negotiators extended preliminary talks in London last week to hammer out final details.
"Nuclear liability remains the cinder in the eye of the relationship right now," Rick Rossow, of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said in Washington last week. "Nuclear cooperation was the high-water mark for our bilateral history and the fact that India's nuclear liability law precludes American involvement, it stings."
US suggestions of full legal indemnity for suppliers were knocked by the Indian government, which is wary of trying to overturn a 2010 nuclear liability law in parliament.
Instead, US lobbyists and commentators have stressed nuclear power's role in reducing India's dependency on coal and other polluting energy sources.
"We're very cognisant of the fact that India has suffered the worst industrial tragedy [at Bhopal] but at the same time, environmental degradation is another form of industrial tragedy and nuclear is a cleaner source," added Rossow.
"The family that's heating their home by using a dung cake and doesn't have piping, right, they're slowly killing themselves. So nuclear's not perfect, but you also have to look at the alternatives."

Rob Ford compares council session to Iraq invading Kuwait
Council chamber gets rowdy as members debate motion
A Monday afternoon special meeting at Toronto City Hall turned to chaos as Mayor Rob Ford's job was reduced to being mayor in name only.
With a vote of 36 to 5, council approved a series of motions that stripped Ford's job down to his statutory duties, slashing his budget by 60 per cent and paring his staff down to approximately eight people. The deputy mayor, Coun. Norm Kelly, will take over many of Ford's former duties. Ford, as you can imagine, isn't pleased.
"What's happened here today is not a democratic process, this is a dictatorship process," said the mayor. "If you vote in favour of any of these motions you're absolutely telling everybody that voted in the last municipal election that their vote does not count."
The session was rowdy at times with chants of "shame" from the public in the gallery and Ford miming drunk driving at a council member. He also bowled over Coun. Pam McConnell during a recess as he tried to get to his brother. He later apologized to "to anyone I accidentally hit."
Ford elicited laughter with his bizarre closing remarks, saying that council is attacking democracy and compared them to Iraq when the country invaded Kuwait, prompting the U.S. to intervene.
"This, folks, reminds me of when Saddam attacked Kuwait," he said. "President Bush said 'I warned you, I warned you, I warned you do not.'"
"You guys have just attacked Kuwait."
He also plugged the debut of his new Sun News Network show.
"I want people to listen to me tonight, eight to nine on Sun News," he said. "You will get my side of the story. Unfiltered."
Ford argued that slashing his staff and budget would render him unable to return the 3,000 letters, 46,000 "CMS" messages, 138,000 emails and 123,000 phone calls to his office he said he receives each year. His home, cell and OnStar numbers, he said, recieve 22,000 calls per year.
"This is virtually impossible to do with eight people and the numbers I gave you," he said.
"How can I run the office as mayor with the numbers I just gave, which you know are accurate, with eight people in my office?"
He asked Coun. John Filion, who introduced the motion, whether council was attempting to directly or indirectly impeach him.
"My preference was that you not place us in this position. What's before us is what council can legitimately do," said Coun. Filion.
Ford tag-teamed his questioning with brother Coun. Doug Ford, who called Monday's proceedings a "kangaroo court." He complained that councillors only got the amended copy of the motion 26 minutes before council convened.
"Do you feel with those amount of calls … do you think reducing his office budget gives him the ability to be the CEO of the mayor of this city and fulfill his role?" Coun. Ford asked Coun. John Filion, who introduced the motion.
"This is not democracy. Is that fair, that we get a motion 26 minutes before we decide," said Coun. Ford.
The mayor lost his hiring and firing powers for his executive committee last week, as well as his ability to manage emergencies. The Ford brothers have vowed to pursue legal action against those actions and have threatened individual lawsuits against councillors based on their votes on Monday's motion.
Coun. Filion brought the motion forward because, according to a notice, "it appears that a majority of members of Council and a significant number of members of the Executive Committee have expressed serious concerns about the Mayor's ability to lead the City government at this time."
Ford has been entangled in a scandal since May when Gawker and the Toronto Star revealed they'd seen a video of the mayor appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Since then, Ford has admitted to smoking the drug and drinking and driving and made crude comments on live television. Police say they are now in possession of the video and Ford's occasional driver, Alexander "Sandro" Lisi has been charged with extortion, allegedly in relation to that video.
Throughout the scandal, Ford has refused to either resign or take a temporary leave of absence. He's insisted that he's seeing a team of healthcare professionals, going to the gym and cutting back on alcohol.

As discussed at Pub Meet on Thursday... It would appear that most Mk-3 Owners with standard ICE can't play or support the MP3 format, despite the fact that it is clearly labelled on the face plate that it does. One of our members down south decided to pursue this legally, (sale of goods act etc..) coupled with black & white evidence in the handbook, he managed to get a new six disc player from Mazda.
quote Lyndon...
Having purchased a Mk3 in May of this year I was disappointed to find that the single CD player installed did not support MP3 although an MP3 sticker was attached to the unit.
Complaint was made to the dealer who argued the point. However, having provided legal argument and case law supporting my claim the dealer, agreed to install a six stack Bose system free of charge in order, that the MP3 sticker met with specific performance as, described in law.
The system is awesome containing something like 60 hours of music.
Some more discussion here:-

Jacques Hadamard, Hon.F.R.S.E.
by P H H FanthamJacques Hadamard was born on December 8, 1865, at Versailles, the son of the Latin teacher at the Lycée Louis le Grand. In 1892, at the height of his early achievements, he married Louise-Anne Trenel, who was a constant help to him throughout his long career; Hadamard never recovered from the shock of her death a few years ago. Tragedy indeed came early to his family when his two eldest sons, both army officers, were killed during the First World War; later, in the Second World War, his third son was killed. However, he is survived by his two daughters and the younger, Jacqueline, took her father's place on the Conseil de la Ligue des Droits de I'Homme on his retirement. Hadamard himself died on October 17, 1963, acclaimed the greatest mathematician of the time.
In his childhood, before taking an interest in mathematics, he followed his father's love of the classics and, in the Concours Général, an examination taken in all the high-schools in France, he was awarded a prize for Latin and Greek composition. It was only in the later stages at school, when working for the Baccalauréat that he changed his interests to mathematics. He was so successful that he was top of the entry list at l'école Normale Supérieure, where he continued his studies. About the same time, he also applied for entrance to l'école Polytechnique where he had the distinction of being the first person ever to gain full marks in the entrance examination.
His interests were not confined to mathematics. He was an ardent music lover and ran an amateur orchestra as well as playing in a string quartet. He was also keenly interested in botany and even professional botanists consulted him about ferns. An eminent chemist once said that he was quite amazed by Hadamard's knowledge of chemistry.
After taking his Aggrégation, he taught at the Lycée Buffon where he wrote his "Leçons de Géometrie Elementaire", a school text book of great originality. On submitting his thesis he was appointed first to the University of Bordeaux (1894-1897) and later to the Sorbonne. In 1912 he was elected to the titular chair at the Collège de France where he remained until his retirement in 1935.
His thesis, which appeared in 1892, dealt with analytic functions; it was here that he proved, among other things, his well-known formula expressing the radius of convergence of a power series in terms of its coefficients. The general idea of the thesis was to examine the properties of an analytic function, in particular, the singularities and properties of convergence, in terms of the coefficients; he then applied his results to the study of gapped series. During this early period he also examined series whose coefficients are the products of the coefficients of two given series, and at the same time investigated the maximum modulus of functions in a circular region thereby obtaining his celebrated three-circle theorem. Following up a problem posed by l'Académie in 189 1, he next worked on integral functions, expressing the genus and zeros of an integral function in terms of its coefficients. Hadamard's methods brought him fame when he was awarded the Grand Prix des Sciences Mathématiques in 1892. This work also brought him into contact with analytic number theory. He showed, for example, that the Riemann Zeta-Function has no zeros whose real part is unity, and he used this result to give a new proof of Cebicev's theorem on the distribution of prime numbers.
His curiosity for novelties soon led him further afield to the Calculus of Variations. Developing ideas from a course he gave at the Collège de France, he wrote a book on the subject in which he emphasized Volterra's technique of studying path-functions, that is, functions whose variable is a curve rather than a number. By analogy, he introduced what he called "functionals", that is, functions whose variable is a real-valued function. In his book, he systematically regarded the calculus of variations as a problem in the theory of functionals, or functional analysis, as we now call it. Later on, he adopted the definition of the derivative of a functional suggested by Volterra, and used this to study the effect on the Green's function of a domain, when the domain undergoes a continuous variation. In a prophetic article, he proposed the study of real-valued functions whose variable is of a quite arbitrary nature and which would necessitate, as he observed, the study of a new geometry. It was, in fact, this suggestion that led others to the study of abstract spaces.
From this period onwards, his studies in pure and applied mathematics became intimately connected. Very often, the problems involved had an interesting geometrical interpretation as, for example, when he discovered cases of discontinuity in apparently continuously formulated problems. Thus, for a particular type of surface, he showed that the set formed by the tangent lines is a disconnected set. This, and similar examples, arose out of his study of the integral curves of systems of differential equations which he used to elucidate problems of stability in mechanics. He introduced the so-called "fundamental solutions" of partial differential equations and was then able to give satisfactory answers to many problems for the first time. He also worked on fluid and wave mechanics; he was able to give a complete analysis of Huygens' principle and, again, he found examples of discontinuity, this time in the propagation of light.
In his last research period he returned to pure mathematics: he studied infinite integrals; he gave the first operator definition of the differential of a function, following up previous rigorous definitions by Stolz and Severi; he worked on quasi-analytic functions; on probability and, finally, produced an important theorem on determinants which was used in the classical formulation of Fredholm theory.
For his first few years at the Collège de France, Hadamard gave the traditional type of course. From 1913 onwards, however, he introduced a new procedure in which papers were analysed by members of the class; this was a forerunner of the modern seminar. He began the seminars himself by lecturing on the works of Henri Poincaré, for whom he had a great admiration, but thereafter, the students themselves lectured; both the papers and the students were chosen by himself. These seminars became so well-known that mathematicians came from all over the world to participate. Only Hadamard himself was capable of directing the discussions which led to so many different branches of mathematics, and he could always add new and profound remarks on any specialist topic.
In addition to his strictly scientific work in mathematics, he was also interested in the Philosophy of Science as is shown by his now famous correspondence attacking the empirical views of Borel, Lebesgue and Baire. During his stay in America he published a work on the psychology of invention. The scope of his interests was equalled by his wide travels. In addition to visiting Yale, he also visited Rio de Janeiro and he was for four months a professor at the Tsing-Hua University in Peking. His work brought him many honours. Having received numerous prizes from the Académie des Sciences, he was elected a member at the age of forty-seven. He was a Foreign Member of the Academia dei Lincei, of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, of the National Academy of Sciences and of the Royal Society of London. In 1946 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Fuller details of Professor Hadamard's life and work are to be found in the Notice Nécrologique by Professor M Fréchet, which was published by the Académie des Sciences of the Institut de France, December 23, 1963. The present obituary is based on Professor Fréchet's article.

Methodist minister Paul Flowers 'suspended indefinitely'
The Reverend Paul Flowers, formerly chairman of the Co-operative Bank, was suspended from his duties for three weeks by the Methodist Church earlier this week following reports that he bought and used illegal drugs including crystal meth and crack cocaine.
Yesterday, the Methodist Church confirmed that Mr Flowers has now been "suspended indefinitely" as part of the complaints and discipline process.
"We always wait for any police investigation or court proceedings to conclude before moving forward...there will be no further action until then," the statement reads.
The Daily Mail released a video last Sunday apparently showing Mr Flowers spending £300 in a drugs deal, in addition to a series of text messages he sent allegedly boasting of drug use and holding "drug fuelled" parties.
It has since emerged that the openly-gay Mr Flowers resigned from his position as Labour councillor in Bradford in 2011 after "inappropriate but not illegal adult content" was found on his computer.
Prime Minister David Cameron has questioned Mr Flowers' suitability for the role of Co-op bank chairman and his position as Labour councillor, claiming that leaders must have known about Flowers' indiscretions.
"Why weren't alarm bells rung earlier, particularly by those who knew?" he asked in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Labour leader Ed Miliband has said he is "utterly confident" about his party's actions, however, and has assured that Labour have acted with "complete integrity".
This revelation about Mr Flowers has come as a shock to the Methodist community, but a spokesperson has said that he is receiving pastoral care, and has once again called for prayers for all those involved.

The Final Days.
The rule this morning is mid-mountain groomers, as it warms up the Spring-y terrain will expand, but, for now, Steamboat is still waking up. While I was up there this morning I was one of only five skiers for quite a while. Lifties were surprised to see me crest their lines, and I never shared a single run. Like saying a long goodbye to an old friend, these hours of skiing alone have been a nice deep breath before the craziness of closing weekend.
The sky was a bit heavy this morning, deep and grey and close. She could barely retain her Spring precipitation. Even the air smelled fresh and damp as the clouds blew over the peaks. All this will clear, and we'll have our Springalicious, t-shirt skiing day.
Before realizing that lower mountain is the place to be, I did a few laps on the Sunny Side, Flintlock and Tomahawk. The carvable groom and the heavy Springtime views were glorious, with nobody to impede my line, I could just stand there and watch it all go by. A slightly too hard Storm Peak Face convinced me to stay low for a while. Rudi's, Vagabond, just right for soft, fun turns!
At elevations below Christie Peak the Aspens are beginning to bud and the mountain is populated with Spring-y birds. Although the melt is happening all the way up, our base is strong and most terrain is still accessible, the mountain is ready to shed it's Winter, but not until at least Monday.
Getting ready for one of the greatest Steamboat events of the year, Cardboard Classic teams were shaping up at the base this morning as I skied in. Sleds made out of cardboard and creativity will race down Stampede at 11am. You'll see plenty of astounding artistic creations, lots of good engineering, and plenty of silly crashes at this riotous Springalicious event.
As the Winter ends and Steamboat summer awaits, enjoy your final moments of lift serve on the beautiful Storm Mountain. Thank your lifties and ski patrolers. and ski happy and safe this weekend!

My name is Kiko and I was responding to an ad I found in the paper for a new medical drug that pays $1000. When I went in I met Dr. Rimmerman who was helping with the study. He took some of my history information down, and explained to me that they just recently changed the drug to make you horny right away. He gave me a small dose of it, and then let me wait around for a while to see what affects would take place. After stepping out the room for about 15 minutes, he returned and noticed that I had a big boner. We pulled my pants and the doctor started to examine my penis. He pulled my underwear down and really started to jerk me off. Then, he proceeded to start to give me head and lick my cock with his tongue... CLICK HERE FOR MORE

How good will the Denver Broncos be this season? I dont think anybody knows to be honest but the expectations are always high due to the standard they have set. Only two years removed from a Super Bowl championship and they are all of a sudden in MUST win mode. Dont get me wrong every team is in must win mode but Denver has set a standard since Hall of Famer and former Denver starting Quarter back has taken over the team and the last two seasons have well below par finishing 9-7 and an abysmal 5-11 last year with a bunch of hopeful starting Quarterbacks failing to make an impact
Having missed on Quarter backs in the draft and free agency the last two years the pressure is on to get that position right, they have added last years free agent sensation Quarter Back Case Keenum who had a great season taking the Vikings all the way to the NFC Championship game but despite his great season completing 67% of his passes with an outstanding 21-7 Touchdown to Interception ratio the jury is still somewhat out on him with questions on whether he can be a full time starter with some wondering if that year was a fluke. But he's in a similar situation here with Denver having two good receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders with running back CJ Anderson returning as well as a great defense to lean on and if he can repeat the production of last years season then the Denver Broncos will be in good shape to at least make the playoffs BUT time is short. We have already seen this great defense nick named the No fly Zone lose key pieces since their superbowl run
Last year they lost team leader and hard hitting safety Derick Ward to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as future first ballot hall of famer Demarcus Ware to retirement and maybe more importantly losing defensive coordinator Wade Phillips who is the most underrated defensive coach in the NFL as well as losing head coach Gary Kubiak who has taken rank in the front office and this off season they have lost star corner back Aqib Talib in a surprising trade in the off season to the L.A rams so as we can see the Superbowl team from just 2 years ago is slowly breaking up
They still have some pieces in place lead by one of the top pass rushers in the league in Von Miller, star corner back Chris Harris along with defensive end Derik Wolfe and up and coming corner back Courtney Roby as well as some younger unproven players. But as the team ages and the pieces slowly start to leave or retire they must win RIGHT NOW cause this team will not be able to take many more hits while staying in contention so this could be a make or break season otherwise more changes could be coming
Now while the team is still stacked with talent, if they dont have a great season and make the playoffs i see them possibly going into rebuilding mode next season and all of a sudden the pressure will be back on GM John Elway to find a way to keep that high standard that they have set for so many years and a losing season will pretty much guarantee the end for 2nd year head coach Leslie Fraizer and then where do they go from here? 8-8 or 9-7 wont cut it this time round but overall i think they just have enough to give it one more run before the band completely dismantles

Well, it may not be 15 minutes all in one go, but I'm hoping that I'll use some of it over this weekend.
Earlier today I was feeling very nervous as I sat in a service station waiting for a phone call from Radio Cumbria. Thankfully it was pre-recorded so I'm hoping that they'll make me sound fantastic – we all know that Growing Well is already fantastic don't we?!
I'll have the radio on during Saturday and Sunday mornings, while I'm packing & travelling, to hear the on the hour bulletins – I think I'm looking forward to hearing me, let me know what you think…

Left Handers Club Newsletter – September 2009
In this issue..
2. Left handed guitar and book offer
4. 2010 Left handed diary and block calendar
5. Left Handers Day 2009 report
If you need to change your newsletter details, please use the link at the bottom of your newsletter email (in the blue box).
Don't forget that you can see all previous newsletters in our archive
1. Music and lefthanders
Left handers have been very succesful in music over the years and our natural "right-brain" thinking may give us an advantage in this area. Set against that is the difficulty of finding left-handed instruments and the challenge of finding a teacher who can help you to play them in your natural way!
2. Left handed guitar and book offer
We have been talking recently with fellow lefty Jon Engel who is the author of "Uncommon Sound – The left handed guitar players that changed music".
This set of 2 beautifully designed and printed books is the ultimate reference guide to left-handed guitars and the people who have played them. These oversized books are 14 by 10 inches by 2 inches this, each, and weigh in at nearly 20 lbs! With over 2,500 photographs and more than 1,500 album covers it covers everything to do with the history of left-handed guitarists and the left handed guitars they have played. An absolute delight to dip into at random or to work through section by section, it will be something you will want to leave on the coffee table!
Click here to see full details on the books and our videos showing the contents
Click here for full details and to order your set of books before Jon changes his mind!
3. Left handed business club?
Do left handers do business differently?
We have found over the years that left-handers in business do think differently and tackle problems in different ways. Our own surveys and the results of various research projects do seem to indicate that there are more successful left-handed entrepreneurs and business people than the percentage of lefthanders in the population would suggest.
Keith was contacted recently by best selling left handed business author Robert Ashton to see if we had any common interests and if we could be of any help to fellow left-handed business people. We arranged a meeting and were amazed at how fast we got on the same wavelength – we even both use mind maps to record our ideas and plans.
We are planning to start a Left Handed Business Club where we can share resources and provide a forum for lefties in business around the world to help and support each other. We are keen to hear from fellow lefties who can contribute any resources or expertise or from people in a business at any level who would be interested in participating.
Click here to see our full information page and give us your feedback
4. 2010 Left handed diary and block calendar
We now have stock of the 2010 Left-Handers Calendar and Diary. They are in the same format as last year and still the same prices. We only have limited stocks of these and are not sure we will be able to get more when they are gone.
The Left Handed Desk Diary is tailor-made for us lefties and printed in reverse to open left to right. It features planning pages on the left side of each weekly spread and ample space for notes.
The right side features an interesting fact about left-handedness and the calendar includes the birthdays of famous left-handed people. 52 double-page spreads, one for each week of the year. Size: 7 x 9 x 0.5 inches; 178 x 229 x 13 mm GBP 9.99 (USD 16.18)
Use this link to order yours while stocks last (you can see our video demostrating the product on that page as well)
5. Left Handers Day 2009 report
August 13th has been and gone again and, as usual, we had a great interest from Club members and the media with record numbers of visits to the Left-Handers Day website and downloads of Left Zone posters.
Click here to see background information on Left Handers Day
That's all for this month – we will be in touch again soon
Best wishes
Keith & Lauren

The Miami Dolphins have traded CB Vontae Davis to the Indianapolis Colts for a second round pick and a conditional sixth according to Jay Glazer.
Vontae, who had been demoted to a second-string cornerback with Miami, gives the Colts the starting CB they were looking for. In return the Dolphins get a second round draft pick in next year's draft.
This means that Miami now has and additional 2nd and 3rd rounder from this trade and the Brandon Marshall trade.
I'm not quite sure what to think about the trade. I feel like we got pretty good value for Vontae. Maybe we'll use this 2nd rounder to trade for a receiver now?
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you think about this blockbuster trade.

To all of my winemaking friends, and you know who you are, wherever you live, wherever you make wine, I would love you to consider sending your wines to the Free Wine award at Vin Italy 2016.
Organic. No adds (but there is the category for 20ppm tops addition). But, all love.
When I was asked to chair this award. I thought about it carefully.
It was a great honor. I was told I could choose the parameters for the judging as well as what kind of wine was eligible.
But then why did I have to think about it before agreeing?
Well, it's a big responsibility. What's more, awards are not usual in our specific natural wine culture. I wasn't sure how it would be received. But I said yes.
There were reasons.
For one, I love VinItaly and cut my journalist teeth there in the beginning of my wine writing.
The fact that they embraced this category is ground breaking. Frankly, it is a big deal and is bound to shake up the status quo.
But the biggest reason is that I saw this award as not merely an award. I saw it as a way to bring the conversation about what wine is--not only natural-- to a much larger audience. And that is worthy of the overused word, awesome.
I chose my judges carefully.
I wanted my team to be worthy of carrying on that discussion into the tasting room where we will look for qualities not quantities. I know they are worthy to comment on the wines and when granted, these awards will be meaningful.
So, let me drink to an award that will also open up a fabulous conversation and debate about the wines that we drink and love.
If you are a winemaker, grow your grapes at least organically and use no additions except maybe 20ppm So2, please check out the details...(forgive the legal mumbo jumbo) and send your wines!
Please take a look at the Free Wine 2016 judges and rules.
The fine print for sending samples

During the summer of 2014, Maui Hunting Safari had an awesome time hunting with Mike Rogers host of Safari Club International's "SCI Expedition Safari". The show aired in 2014 on the Outdoor Channel. During his hunt with us, Mike was able to obtain "The Maui Slam" which includes a Trophy Axis Deer, Trophy Goat and Trophy Pig!
We are excited to report that Steve Scott of "Safari Hunter's Journal & Smith & Wesson's Outdoor Guide" hunted with us in early 2014. He was able to get two great trophy goats with his crossbow on film for his upcoming season on the Sportsman Channel. We had a great time with Mr. Scott and learned a lot from him!
2013 was another exciting hunting season for Maui Hunting Safari. We had a wonderful time guiding Lindsey Lasche of Pulse Factor TV in the Spring of 2013. After several long stalks for axis deer, she was able to take a beautiful axis deer!
Later during our hunt Lindsey was also able to take a trophy feral goat. She did a great stalk on the goat and made an awesome shot. We had a lot of fun with The Pulse Factor TV crew!
Archie Nesbitt
We were fortunate to have bow hunting enthusiast Archie Nesbitt of the "Ultimate Shot, The Ultimate Hunting Adventures of Archie Nesbitt" hunt with us recently. We had a great time and he took exceptionally great trophies all with his bow - including the new "pending" SCI #10 Axis deer! Ultimate Shots! Excellent Shot Opportunities!

Daimler expects to post a substantial profit this year, following the announcement by the German automaker that it earned net income of $816 million for the first quarter of 2010.
"This very good result for the first quarter shows that we did our homework in the crisis and are now firmly on track for success once again," stated Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
That's a sharp turnaround compared to the nearly $1.7 billion Daimler lost during the first-quarter of 2009. The very positive earnings were reflected by what Zetsche called the "upward trends in nearly all divisions."
Overall, following "a distinct decline" in 2009, Daimler assumes revenue will increase again in 2010 "but will remain significantly below the level of 2008." All automotive divisions, including the maker's small car brand, Smart, are expected to contribute to this year's projected growth.
Daimler, which earlier this month reduced its dividend to zero, now expects to achieve earnings before interest and taxes from the ongoing business of more than $5.3 billion in 2010. The key factors for this expectation are the ongoing market revival, the improving economic environment and the market success of the Group's products, Zetsche said.
However, the new guidance is more than double what Zetsche provided only two weeks ago at the company's shareholders meeting in Berlin, leading to complaints, in Germany, that Daimler's executives are either unsure of what is going on at the company or are manipulating critical information.
In the first quarter, Mercedes-Benz Cars, in particular, posted significantly positive earnings due to increased sales in the E-Class and S-Class segments. Daimler sold 402,700 cars and commercial vehicles worldwide, which was 21% more than in the same period of last year.
The Daimler Group's first-quarter revenues increased from $25 billion to $28billon; adjusted for exchange-rate effects, revenue grew by 15 percent.
On the non-automotive side, during the first quarter of 2010, Daimler's proportionate share of the net result of EADS, the parent of Airbus, amounted to a loss of $350 million. That compared to a small profit of $116 million during the same period last year. The substantial deterioration is primarily the result of additional provisions recognized by EADS in its 2009 consolidated financial statements relating to the A400M military transport aircraft.
Meanwhile, Daimler's sale of the 5.3% equity interest in Tata Motors led to a pre-tax gain of $350 million.
Daimler also noted that starting in the third quarter of 2010, new and particularly efficient six- and eight-cylinder gasoline engines will become available from Mercedes-Benz The already extensive portfolio of BlueEFFICIENCY products will be expanded to 85 models by the end of 2010.
For the Smart brand, Daimler anticipates an increase in demand following the launch of a new generation of the Smart fortwo in the third quarter of 2010. Turning things around for the long-troubled Smart was a key reason for Daimler's recent decision to enter a partnership with the Euro-Asian Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Daimler's Truck, Van and Bus business also are expecting a recovery this year, following the low level of sales in 2009. Demand is expected to be particularly brisk in Latin America. Truck sales also are expected to grow in North America.

WASHINGTON - The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has announced the award of four grants totaling $1.2 million to support the development of strategies that protect children from commercial and sexual exploitation. These grants are part of the Department's national strategy to prevent and interdict child exploitation announced by Attorney General Eric Holder.
"Protecting our youth remains a priority with the Justice Department," said Laurie Robinson, Assistant Attorney General, OJP. "We are determined to have strategies in place that prevent, and if necessary, rescue and help children recover from exploitation. These grants will provide the resources necessary to reach the children and hold the perpetrators accountable."
OJP's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will administer the awards, which will support selected Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces by making available improved training and coordination activities, help in developing policies and procedures to identify child victims, assistance in the investigation and prosecution of adult perpetrators and the identification and adoption of best practices for compassionate victim intervention. This grant program is authorized under the Providing Resources, Officers, and Technology to Eradicate Cyber Threats to Our Children Act of 2008, (P.L. 110-401, 42 USC 17601, et seq.) ("the PROTECT Act"). Eligible applicants under the competitive solicitation were the existing 61 ICAC Task Forces and affiliate law enforcement agencies.
Recipients include:
Information about the ICAC Task Forces can be found at http://ojjdp.ncjrs.gov/programs/index.html
In addition, OJP also announced the release of the bulletin Effects of Federal Legislation on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. The bulletin describes the findings of an OJJDP study that examined the impact of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 on the federal prosecution of cases of children who were sexually exploited for commercial purposes. The bulletin is posted at http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/ojjdp/228631.pdf.
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), headed by Assistant Attorney General Laurie O. Robinson, provides federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, administer justice, and assist victims. OJP has seven components: the Bureau of Justice Assistance; the Bureau of Justice Statistics; the National Institute of Justice; the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; the Office for Victims of Crime; the Community Capacity Development Office, and the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking.

Just like every individual wants to purchase their own home, similarly every person will require an oven or a stove for their kitchen. There are various kinds of stoves and ovens available in the market and so, it is difficult for you to choose the best one depending upon your need. As such, while buying your kitchen equipment supplier, make sure you buy from the top stoves and ovens manufacturers.
The derivation of the word stove comes from the Old English word stofa. It means any surrounded space such as a room. During the 19th century, stove meant a single heating room. There are different kinds of stoves available. Some examples are coal and the kitchen and the three stone stove. The three stone and coal stoves are mainly used for outdoors. On the other hand, the kitchen stove is used for indoors.
Some people may find it difficult to select between a gas and an electric stove. If you decide to choose gas stove, you need to know that it will help you save more of your hard earned bucks when it comes to cooking regularly. The electric stove, on the other hand, is fit for cooking occasionally. It requires around 300 kWh to pre-heat with an electric oven while it takes just a few seconds to pre-heat with a gas stove. However, a gas stove costs more money than an electric oven since it is cost-effective and easier to operate.
There are several oven designs available. Some people may choose custom-made stoves and the others may prefer ready-made ones. It is sensible to select a free-standing oven rather than a built-in oven in case you want to change the style of the kitchen in the future. If you decide to choose a built-in oven and stove, you need to know that it'll save space in the kitchen and add up to the value of the home if you wish to sell your home in the future. The big families will like to choose a double oven. The costs, savings and the benefits of a double oven can be understood only when a family will run a food business or cook a lot particularly during the occasions.
It is a difficult process for some people to search for the best brand of oven in the market. Thus, if you are amongst such people, you should always check out which brands offer the best price according to their value. Should you decide to buy an oven, it is suggested that you look for those brands that has the Energy Star logo which provides about 30 to 50 percent energy savings.
It is important on your part to take into consideration the long-term savings that the oven will provide you despite which oven you may choose. Try to be a wise consumer and always make it a point to check the efficiency of the appliance before you may purchase one. This, in turn, will enable you to stay away from any kind of repair and replacement for your appliance.

Thinking about editor Albert R. Hunt's silly post-primary prediction where he sees Romney, "becoming president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," I decided to do a little math experiment on the probability that Mitt Romney could someday become the LDS Prophet. He will be 65 in 2012 during the election year. I will be using the most realistic "fast track" path.
He loses the bid for U.S. President, either in the primary or the general. This frees him up for a Church calling/assignment. The LDS Church leadership asks him to become a mission president. That lasts for 3 years. When finished he returns and is called to the First Quorum of the Seventy for another 3 years. He is now officially a General Authority with real "inner circle" leadership status, although limited by whatever duties given. Continue reading

Kincardine & Deeside Befriending say there is a growing demand for befrienders from older people who are lonely or isolated.
The Organisation matches older people with volunteer befrienders for companionship and emotional support. Feeling lonely can impact on physical health as well as mental wellbeing and they are in no doubt about the benefits of befriending.
Lisa Wass, Deeside Co-ordinator said: "I've seen first -hand the difference that befrienders have on elderly people who use the service. A simple home visit to an older person in their own home for company and a chat or a trip out can make a huge difference to their life"
Kincardine & Deeside Befriending are calling on caring people with time to give, a friendly face and listening ear to get to know older people in their community.
For more information about volunteer befriending please contact Deeside Co-ordinator (Tel 01330 823368) or Kincardine/Mearns Co-ordinator (Tel 01569 765714).

Should Kidney Failure Patient with GFR 35 Take Renal Transplant Now2015-12-16 16:52
My nephew has got kidney failure, and now his GFR is 35. The doctor suggest him to take renal transplant. I want to know should he take it now ?
In fact, his GFR is not as bad as other patients who have kidney failure, so i don't suggest him to take renal transplant now. One kidney is not better than two of his own. It is too early to consider kidney transplant. No matter he goes to which country, kidney transplant is not the top option, but the last.
How to help kidney failure patient avoid renal transplant ?
To treat his disease, we have to stop the inflammation in the kidneys first. That's not difficult. There are many western medicine and Chinese medicine can achieve this effect. However, it is not enough. If he gets infection and the disease is easy to relapse. Therefore, we need the second step, that is remove the immune complex in the kidneys.
To remove the immune complex in the kidneys, we use Chinese herbal medicine in China. Because the active material of the Chinese herbs can combine with the immune complex, split them and discharge them out of body. Besides, the Chinese medicine can dilate the blood vessels, improve blood circulation and increase the blood flow in the kidneys, so the immune complex and extra cellular matrix that caused renal fibrosis in the picture can be discharged out.
The most important thing is to clean the blood and repair the damaged kidney cells. This is the third step. To clean the blood, western medicine has hemodialysis. Your relative's disease is not in that stage yet. In Chinese medicine, Chinese herb bath therapy, foot bath therapy and acupuncture can also achieve the effect of blood purification.
With the help of those treatment, he will get his kidney function and GFR improved, so that he can get a chance to living a quality life without renal transplant. If you want to know more details about those treatment, you can send email to us or leave message below, we will try our best to help you.
Our email: email@example.com
Any kidney problems? Please consult our online doctor. The satisfaction of patient is as high as 93%.
