"I was on your DA page and read what people said and to be honest, it isn't true, it's just I think this part of my life has ended (that's why I deactivated it). But it's not like I stop loving FBB (I won't ever ^^), simply I changed my role and started being an appreciator instead of an "artist" (or whatever I could be named upon) so i'm gonna try and keep an eye on the community once in a while without an account."

When you fly Finnair, you'll earn both award points and tier points. Your award points can be spent in many exciting ways – for example, on partner products and services – whereas your tier points allow you to move up through the Finnair Plus membership tiers, giving you access to even more varied and exciting benefits.
Select your point of departure, destination and airline to see how many points you'll earn for your flight.
Each point is valuable, so remember to give your Finnair Plus membership number or show your Finnair Plus card every time you make a flight reservation.
Find out more about award and tier points
Collecting Finnair Plus points is easy, and because award points valid for three years, you've got plenty of time to make the most of them. The number of award points you'll earn for a particular flight is based on the following:
Economy Class and Business Class tickets are available in several ticket types and booking classes. The ticket type and booking class of your ticket depends upon:
You'll earn points from scheduled Finnair flights depending on your ticket type and the region where you fly. That means you'll earn a fixed amount of tier and award points from scheduled Finnair flights for example to Europe or Asia.
You can also earn points from Finnair codeshare flights with our partners. The amount of points you'll earn depends on your booking class and the distance flown. Please note that if there is a ticket type on your codeshare ticket, you will earn points based on the ticket type percentage and the distance flown.
As a Finnair Plus member you'll also earn points when you take Finnair charter flights (AY1000 series). The number of points you'll earn is based on rules that are specific to charter flights – see Point awards for Finnair charter flights to find out how many points you'll earn for a particular flight. The points granted also cover the return flight. If you're travelling on a Finnair charter flight, please remember to show your Finnair Plus membership card at the check-in desk when you depart from Finland.
You cannot earn points when you take charter flights – for example, special charter flights (flight numbers AY7000–AY7999).
Finnair is a member of the oneworld international airline alliance, which means that you can take advantage of Finnair Plus benefits whenever you fly with one of our oneworld partners. The alliance is comprised of top international airlines from all four corners of the globe, including airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, S7 Airlines and SriLankan Airlines. Together, the oneworld members form the world's leading airline alliance, offering exceptional service and an unparalleled network of destinations.
As a Finnair Plus member you can:
The number of points you'll earn when you fly with a oneworld member is based on the booking class of your ticket – click the link below to find out how many points you'll earn for a particular flight.
If you're a Finnair Plus member, you can also earn points when you take flights operated by airlines with which Finnair has signed a code-share agreement, even if they're not Finnair partners. Code-share flights are available to hundreds of top destinations across the globe
A code-share flight always has two flight numbers:
If your ticket has an AY flight number (is issued under the Finnair quota), you'll earn the same number of points as you would for a normal Finnair flight.

text: Tax Havens For When You Win The Lottery Category Consumer News Energy Savers Lighter Side Of Taxes Photo Galleries Andorra (credit: Thinkstock) Andorra, a small country nestled between Spain and France, doesn't have any income tax for individuals or companies. It's only real taxes are customs duties, local property taxes and corporate registration fees. Anguilla (credit: Thinkstock) This British territory in the Caribbean is a neutral tax jurisdiction. There are no income, capital gains, estate, profit or other direct taxes on people or companies. You don't even have to be a resident. With beaches like this, why keep your vast fortune anywhere else? Bahamas (credit: Thinkstock) The Bahamas is a collection of islands southeast of Florida. This popular vacation destination offers fun in the sun but doesn't tax personal income, capital gains, inheritance or gifts. Bermuda (credit: Thinkstock) Bermuda doesn't currently offer much in the way of tax benefits for individuals, but businesses are totally exempt from income and capital gains taxes. So if you just won the lottery and want to start a business on an island in the Atlantic, Bermuda might be the best place for you. Cayman Islands (credit: Thinkstock) The Cayman Islands, in the western Caribbean, relies solely on import duties, tourist fees, licensing fees and other indirect methods of taxation. Investors don't have to pay income, capital gains, gift or estate taxes. Cyprus (credit: Thinkstock) Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean, just south of Turkey, is home to beautiful beaches, historical landmarks and an extremely low corporate tax rate (10%). And, as if that weren't enough of a draw, there is no capital gains tax or withholding tax on offshore companies. Dubai (credit: Thinkstock) The benefit of managing investments or companies in Dubai is that there are no taxes of any kind. This Middle Eastern state - part of the United Arab Emirates - won't audit you, nor will its government agencies require you to share information. Gibraltar (credit: Thinkstock) This British territory, located at the opening to the Mediterranean is a great place to run a company, as long as you're not a resident. According to Gibraltar law, a company managed by a non-resident enjoys tax exempt status. Hong Kong (credit: Thinkstock) What's most attractive about investing or saving money in this small-city state along the south coast of China? Hong Kong isn't part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). They still charge taxes, but the percentages are way lower than the international average. Luxembourg (credit: Thinkstock) Luxembourg has long been one of Europe's most popular tax havens, with some of the strongest secrecy laws around. More recently, the country has moved, with some success, to overcome its haven status. Monaco (credit: Thinkstock) Monaco is an independent city state situated along the scenic French Riviera. Although Monaco charges taxes to companies and French residents, the country's taxes are extremely low. Foreigners can stay tax exempt. Panama (credit: Thinkstock) Panama, one of the most beautiful countries in the Caribbean, does not charge any tax on income produced from sources outside the country. That includes proceeds from sales made outside of the country. Saudi Arabia (credit: Thinkstock) Saudi Arabia is so rich in natural resources like gold, coal, uranium and oil that the economy doesn't rely on corporate taxes as a primary source of revenue. Their taxes range from extremely low to nonexistent. Switzerland (credit: Thinkstock) Switzerland is the #1 tax haven in the world. This mountainous European nation has a long history of bank secrecy. On top of that, the Swiss do not consider tax evasion to be a crime. What more could you ask for? Vanuatu (credit: Thinkstock) Besides beautiful views and great weather, this South Pacific island nation offers protective banking secrecy laws as well as privacy and confidentiality for its clients. Vanuatu will take care of your money. Next Gallery: Orioles Spring Training Photos View Comments

text: I have a theory as to why some people have a great fear of clowns. I remembered that abductees speak of a screen image, not to be confused with screen memory, which is the replacement of the real memories of the abduction with a false memory. The screen image is used so that the abductors can be calmer and not have a fit because they are presented with an image other than their real appearance. Remember in "tThe Day the Earth Stood Still" the alien was asked what he really looks like and his response was "no, it would only frighten you". I believe very strongly that in the early years of abduction, such as 2-7 years old, they use the screen image of a clown because kids love clowns. In time however, the child begins to recognize the fact that every time they see this "clown", horrible things happen to them. This leads to a phobia that people think as irrational, but in fact, they have every reason to fear the image of the clown. It is a phobia that many people have and do not see any rational explanation, it is a fear they just cannot place. This video is an example of how powerful this phobia is.

A 4-year-old girl is being praised as a hero after escaping a car accident to get help for her trapped mother and injured little brother.
Averie Carrion was in the backseat of her grandfather's pickup truck when her mom, who was driving, lost control on a deserted road in northwest Iowa over the weekend, KTIV 4 News in Sioux City reported on Wednesday.
The Chevy Silverado "rolled about two to three times" before coming to a stop on its side, the girl's mother, Jamie, said.
She could see her one-year-old son, Abel, was bleeding.
"I can't see Averie and at that point I tried to call her name and she didn't answer me," Jamie said. "I thought she was unconscious and I thought she was pinned under the vehicle and I started to panic."
What she didn't know was that the young girl, who was not in a car seat, was already out of the car and going for help.
"I wanted to help them," she told KTIV 4 News.
She had tried to dig in the snow to help her mom, but then decided to go for help. She walked nearly a quarter of a mile through a foot of snow and braved the 21-degree weather before coming across a farmhouse.

Copyright, 192* by The College Newi Volume VIII. No. 23. BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1922 Price 10 Cents PROFESSOR DEBATES AGAINST CONGRESSMAN ON PRIMARIES "^Jff>.CT'��qmC AND GONDOLIERS FIGURE IN GAY OPERETTA League of Women Voters Stage In- teresting Discuss on ' "Representative government is the finest evolution of modern times," Con- gressman George S. Graham said to the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters last Thursday. This speech was given at a round-table luncheon and confer- ence at the Bellevue, at which the sub- ject discussed was "The Direct Primary vs. the Convention System," tongress- man Graham speaking for the affirmative and^ Professor Charles E. Merriam, of the University of Chicago, for the nega- tive. The resolution read: "Resolved, That a return "to the convention system of making nominations of candidates for public office would result in a higher standard of nominations than is supplied by the direct primary system, and would represent a larger proportion of the elec- torate." Speaking first, Congressman Graham said against the direct primary, "they are the rich man's gain, they have produced mediocrity in office, and on ac- count of the alphabetical placing of names on the ballots, inferior men "may be elected by mere priority in position, there having been no publicity." For the convention system he spoke at more length. "Convention makes the party responsible, party policies with a man to carry them out are more important than the man, individual principles may be poor, there must be organization and consolidation." * Congressman Graham admitted the poorness of some conven- tions but said that was not the kind of a convention he advocated, but a "return to the convention regulated by law." Professor Merriam began also with the objections, this time to the old sys- tem in which'"distiicts were gerryman- dered by the faction in power, dummy candidates were put up, committees for the decision of delegates were partisan, the delegates were personally .fine but not especially qualified, delegates were bribed and they traded for jobs. In the direct primaries this is out in the open. Since large numbers of States and coun- ties are solidly one-party, their primaries are really elections, and there should therefore be more than one nominee. Then, the chance for women in the di- rect primary is much better. In the primary the average of the party elec- torate is 50 or 75 per cent.. You do get about two-thirds of the whole party vote because 25 per cent, in each party won't declare for party; under the old system you got 15 per cent., it is incontrovert- ible that the direct primary brings out more people. That candidates must be millionaires is no truer in the direct primary than in the convention system; the candidate shouldn't pay a nickel, his backers should pay. Last of all the di- rect primaries do not interfere with party organization or leadership, if there is any. Lack of leadership is not dye to primaries of any sort." DANCES IN CLOISTERS Singing by Russian Choir Also Fea- ture of Commencement An unusual performance is to lie held in the Cloisters this year during commence- ment week. Hindu dancing, as well as singing by a Russian mixed choir will fur- nish entertainment to alumnae, Seniors, and their guests. Kagini Levi is a' native Hindu from Kashmir.

The singers will be dressed in costume and sing Russian songs. % Plant for Reunions Under Way Six busy days from Saturday, June 3 to Thursday, June 8, have been planned forj alumnae returning to reunions this year.

Members of reuning classes should write to their reunion man- agers, who will make reservations for them through the alumnae office. Members of classes not holding reunions should write direct to the executive secretary for accom- modations and state length of reservation desired. Further information may be had in the alumnae room in Taylor Hall and will be published in the Xkws later. . , MAIDS TO GIVE ONE-ACT COMEDY "THE FLORI8T SHOP" ON MAY 19 "The Florist Shop," a one-act comedy, coached by Pamela Coyne, '24, will be given by the maids, in the gymnasium at their party on Friday, May 19. The play, by Winifred Hawkbridge, is one from the Harvard Dramatic Club, which ccn- � ters about a bunch of orchids, describ- ing the effort of a watchmaker- to marry off a couple who have been married fot fifteen years. Dancing for the maids will follow the performance. entitled "Some Contributions to the Science and Practice of Ophthalmology," and dem- onstrated three instruments designed by them for the medical work on the eye. An unusual amount of interest and importance attaches to this congress because it is the first that has been held since the beginning of the war. The last was to have been held in St. Petersburg in 1914. It is not even known now what has become of the medical men who made the local arrange- ments for that congress. Thirty-two Asiatic, African, European and American nations were represented at the Washing- ton congress. Dr. Ferree was appointed one of an international commission of four for the purpose of Standardizing tests for diseases of the eye, to report at the Thir- teenth International Congress, to be held in London in 1925. Chorus Ezhibits splendid Training Sincere Acting Commended DUCHESS MAKES DECIDED HIT , Kathleen Kelly Wins Laurels in Act- ing and Singing DEAN SMITH DISCUSSES COLLEGE "PASSIVITIES" Speaking in chapel 4ast Thursday, Dean Smith discussed an article recently pub- lished in the New Republic, dealing with the question of college "activities" and "passivities." She explained that "activi- ties" meant all things to do with 'non- academic life and "passivities" anything connected with the college curriculum. Dean Smith went on to say that during the past few years students have been tak- ing a greater interest in the curriculum than formerly. She mentioned as instance? of this that four of the editors on the "Intercollegiate Platform" made up of col- lege editors turned their attention to the curriculum and that at Barnard there is a student curriculum committee which makes recommendations to the faculty. Most of the recommendations^have advocated greater freedom for Freshmen and Sopho- mores in choosing their courses. This flexibility would give them the opportunity of choosing their majors earlier. "This interest in curriculum may lead to the reduction of 'activities,' and the ten- dency to more independent work will ]k a challenge to intellectual exploration and the joys of intellectual discovery," said Dean Smith concluding her talk.

ALUMNAE PLAN FAREWELL BANQUET TO MISS THOMAS "Everyone intimately connected with| President Thomas" has been invited to the banquet given by the directors, faculty, and alumnae, in her honor, on the evening of June 8. The banquet will take the place of the usual alumnae banquet, and the Senior class and those holding higher degrees have been invited to attend; by paying fifty cents, undergraduates may sit in the gallery. The speakers are to be: Presidents� Garfield, of Williams; Goodnow, of Johns Hopkins; Hibben, of Princeton; Pendleton, of Wellesley; Wo'olcy, of Mt. Holyoke, and President Thomas :Chief Justice Taft; Dr Vincent, presidenflfcf the Rockefeller In- stitute ; Mr. Nosman Hapgood; Dean Corn- stock, president of the American Associa- tion of University Women; Mrs. Louis F. Slade, a director of the College; Mrs. Manning, former dean of the College, and Mr. Rufus Jones, president of the Board of Trustees. Professor Paul Shorey will speak for the faculty of early days, and Professor Tenant for the faculty of today; Mrs. Louis B. Saunders,-(Bryn Mawr, '93) will act as toastmistress. Seven of the college presidents, who arc coming, have daughters entered at Bryn Mawr. Nineteen twenty-four has elected E. Neville on the Advisory Board of the Undergraduate Association. Specially contributed by Mr. Charles S. Morgan Jr., stage manager and producer cf Maik and Wtg Productions - Seldom* have the subtle satires of W. S. Gilbert's lines and lyrics been presented with more intelligent understanding than in the performance of "The Gondoliers," as presented by the Bryn Mawr Glee Club, on Friday and Saturday nights. Philadel- phia's Own Savoy Company, who have long since realized their ambition of giving the entire Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire, have never given a. more satisfactory rendition than these clever undergraduates of Bryn Mawr. There was a sincerity which per- meated the entire performance that spoke well for the excellent training of the com- 'rf-pany and showed the untiring efforts of Ikiih the cast and chorus. . There was a refreshing concentration among the entire chorus that one so often misses in amateur productions, where the chorus has but little but background singing to do. The "Male" chorus sang and acted with splendid spirit and played up to their charming partners with an almost masculine vigor, despite here and there a bracelet on a delicate feminine arm or an occasional strand of blonde hair showing above a fierce black moustache. In reviewing the cast, first mention must go to Kathleen Kelly, whose Tessa dominated the entire performance. She has a remarkable personality and made her marked magnetism felt from the mo- ment of her first entrance, when she sneaked modestly into the moving circle of, the chorus. She sang well 'and said her lines with the finish of a professional. She was most ably assisted by Katharine Strauss, as Giuseppe, who gave an imper- sonation that was really, convincing. Her expressive face and graceful gestures helped to bring out every point Of her clever impersonation of the Gondolier. She put all her songs over with a delight fid understanding, particularly the song, "Ris- ing Early," in the second act. The excel- lent by-p!ay of both Miss Kelly and Miss Strauss, during the long scenes, where they had nothing to say, stamped them both as real actresses. Alys Boross made a very handsome Marco, giving a thoroughly satis- factory performance despite a tendency to wander from the key. The Duchess uf Plaza Toro, played by Marion Holt, brought forth the best singing diction of the performance, and her song, "When I am Wedded," made^a decided hit. Frances Matteson, as "Luis," and Loretta Grim, as "Casilda," handled the sentimental interest with charming sincerity and gtheir duets were delightfully sung.* Katharine Kaht. as the Duke of Plaza Toro, and Beatrice Constant, as Don Alhambra, the Grand Inquisitor, acted the difficult scenes of these two parts with an understanding that brought out every bit of the delightful Gil- bert and Sullivan humor. Dorothy Gard- ner and Mary Minott, as Fiammetta and Giannetta, made a charming impression, even though their toes were light. The spirited octette dancing the Cachuca, in the second act,' brought forth the heartiest applause of the evening, making us wish. that we might have departed a little from the strict traditions of our Gilbert and Sullivan, and put in a modem touch or (Continued on page 2)

PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1927 f PROKOSCH LEADS DANCE PROGRAM Cloisterf Furnish Artistic Background for New Interpretations. PRICE, 10 CENTS Join Me at Bates COSTUMES BY PERERA �Jt (Specially contributed by R. Liny, '2.">) On Friday evening, the sixth of May, a fairly large audience saw Miss Gertrude Prokosch's class in some dances composed and directed by her. The first, and in some ways perhaps * the most interesting thing, was the medieval Dance of Death done in a series of scenes recalling Holbein's woodcuts, the Dance of Death told the Middle Age of the swiftness of death's �coming and of its coming to all alike. This was felt by the dancers and they often expressed it with poignance and some sense of drajiia. After the first scene where Death, heralded by Trumpeters, was shown triumphing over an emperor, came one of the most beautiful of all' the dances�that of Death and the Queen. Miss Hollander, as the queen, danced with a fine sense of character; she was gracious and dignified, and when she and Miss Pro- kosch, wearing th�0plumed hat of Death, the courier, danced together, they combined in a lovely, flowing movement. Maidens Were Graceful The three maidens whom Death sur- prised at play danced daintily and gaily. Of them Miss Trask was par- ticularly graceful. One wondered whether it would not have made .for a pitiful contrast had the Lover, Death, singled out one of the maidens and left the others to dance a while longer. Death's dance with the gypsy and with the jester showed wild and whim- sical spirits brought to silence. Miss Perera. as the jester, gave the most dramatic performance of the evening. She was very touching as she tried to divert Death by the tricks and gambols that had served to divert the king and her final surrender held nothing of sub- mission. The abandon of Mibs Glov- er's gypsy dance was a moment of pure joy, and life that seemed to have no part in this tragic play. It was this, of course, that made it pitiful. The Dance of Death and the child gave us a charming young actress in Miss Elfrida Mahler. In the scene of Death and the Nun. Miss Phyllis Wie- gand gave us one of the most pictorial moments of the eveniqg looking, as she did, like a piece of late Spanish polychrome sculpture. After the Dance of Death, Miss Prokosch interpreted a Bach Concerto with a ritual dance of majesty and grace. The second part of the program be- gan with a dance by Miss Prokosch called "Gold," in which she looked like a princess out of a Persian minia- ture. Miss Haley, in a dance entitled "Silver," which she herself composed, was graceful, twinkling, brittle. She was Silver and besides that, she was wanton spring. Group Dances Most Successful The group of dances representing the elements consisted of two solos, "Fire" and "Air" and two ensembles, "Earth" and "Water." The group dances were most successful�the one being quite beautiful, the other most ingenious. As "Air," Miss Alice Glover w a-, like . a gust of wind in April; anything more delicate, more spirited, could hardly be imagined. Miss Prokosch, as "Fire," was terrifying, a leaping, flickering force, a veritable Logi. The evening concluded with an In- dian ceremonial which provided an in- teresting contrast. The costumes, designed by Miss Per- era, seemed, to the writer, not qnly beyond reproach, but an integral part of the performance. One particularly remembers the prosey gown of the queen, the blue gown of one of the idens, and the veils, like blue flam�sr e dancers in "Earth." Lovely, also, were Miss Prokosch's white robes and golden gown. On the whole, there* seems much to Jl �* 1 i w � p -.'" -a ?.

We are now banking; on Miss de Laguna's going on to win the final beat of the contest. the winners from 19 different colleges competing with eatli other on Satur- day, May 14. The conqueror of this final field receives an additional *."><>() from the generous New York Times. The Harvard student who won the contest last year has again qualified as the representative of that institution, so that Miss de Laguna will have a, worthy pacemaker. Cornelia Rose, '28, came a very close second in the Bryn Mawr contest, and honorable mention was awarded to Margaret Perry, '28, and Frances Put- nam, '28. The contest was in three parts: a true.and false section: 20 names to be identified, and 20 topics, each of which was to be written on for a period of three minutes. The Bryn Mawr committee consisted of Dr. C. J. Fenwick, Dr. W. R. Smith, Dr. M. P. Smith, Dr. Crenshaw and Dr. S. C. Chew, who both made out and marked the papers. Vassar College, by a small margin, trjumphed over Bryn Mawr in the ten- nis matches at Pdughkeepsie last Satur- day, winning the deciding doubles contest in the last of three hard-fought sets. The victory, however, in no way de- cided the championship, as the rules permit playing with other colleges only in exhibition matches. As an exhibition, the spectacle staged by the Bryn Mawr singles champions, Miss Pitney and Miss Bethel, was highly satisfactory. Miss Pitney's opponent in the singles was Miss Nancy Nicolia, '28. who in the opening game displayed some hard, strong shooting which rivalled Miss Pitney's own. The games was an ener- getic and lively one on both sides, but the Bryn Mawr champion's endurance eventually wore out her opponent. Miss Pitney won the first sets 6-4, and lost the second by the same score. But in the^ last set Miss Nicolai was nervous and erratic, with the result that Miss Pitney, playing with undiminshed vigor, took six straight games. Miss Bethel, who arrived late in the morning after taking taking a German oral at Bryn Mawr, defeated Miss.Vir- The Lantern Elects J The Lantern has elected as Business Manager for the com- ing, year Gail Sampson, 28; as Advertising Manager, Edith Morgan, '28. and as Treasurer, Mary Gcssner, ':>'.�. heat of the Neiv York Times Current Events Contest. �Jw*-htmdre*-arrovt*i^^^--^rWrt1i tittle difficulty, 6-2, CONTINUED ON PAGE V Juniors Make Good Archers, Meet Proves The Archery Meet, held on Saturday, was won byv the undefeatable light blue team�they made 226 hits," scoring 1146 points.

'30, although in better than usual form, suffered defeat at the hands of Miss Reubel, of Vassar. a powerful player who lives solely on tea and veg- etables. The final score was 6-4, 6-4. In the last of the singles matches M. Claverius, '28, defeated C. Swan, '29, the fourth meml>er of the Bryn Mawr team, by the score of 6-2 6-4. The match was characterized by less vigor- ous hitting than in the other matches, although Miss Swan's forehand drive was in splendid form. With two singles matches won by each college, the doubles (although pure- ly exhibition) were especially thrilling. Miss Pitney and Miss Stokes, playing together against Miss Nicolai and Miss Reubel, lost the first set. won the second, and after bringing the score to four all in the third, dropped the las.t two games amid the cheers of the Vassar grand- stand. The Bryn Mawr players, consid- ering their inexperience in playing to- gether, co-operated very well, and at first succeeded in foiling the attempts of their opponents to play a net game. Miss Pitney's skillful lobbing greatly contrib- uted to this, and during most of the match the balls were kept high in the air. In the last set. however. Vassar's champions began to be successful in their attack, and Miss Stokes and Mi-� Pitney weakened, losing* the set which decided Vassar's su[>eriority The Bryn Mayr players, interviewed on their impressions of Vassar, were en- thusiastic over the accommodations which were given them in Main Hall. They stated that Vassar had beautiful GENERAL IDEA OF RELIGION FALSE Spiritual Beauty Takes Place of Religion in Language of Present Day BEAUTY LIFE'S GOAL The Reverend Alexander MacColl, of the Second Presbyterian Church, Phila- delphia, used for the subject of his ser- mon Sunday evening. May 8, the words "Religion is the supreme means of dis- covery and development of beautv in life." Many men and women think of reli- gion as a kind of puzzle of human life; a means of appeasing the wrath or win- ning the favor of an Unseen God. Youth thinks it adequately described as the "Mosaic killjoy of the medievals." and l>ecause young people do not respond to the age-worn word "righteousness." a substitute is supplied for them in the word "beauty;" not only the 'physical beauty of material things, but the spir- itual beauty of God and all that He has created. ,. Why did David in writing the twenty- third psalm say "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever?-' Because he loved beauty and knew that there he could behold visions of God, and intcr- pretation of the meaning of life, and look upon untold horizons of opportu- nity. It is in this very task that the 1 Church often fails; it does not make religion attractive. It represents it as concerned with gloomy, forbidding rules and regulations, instead of with life itself. The test of the reality of religion is whither or not it is making the world progressively beautiful If it is not. then ii is not true religion, for "only religion misconceived can draw us away from beauty." The task that Jesus found Him- self confronted with when He came on earth was to bring about the transforma- tion of a worjd permeated with physical ugliness. Everywhere He went He saw the outward manifestation of an inward sordidness. In consequence, He showed the possible transfiguration of sorrow and the blessedness of poverty; He preached the nonexistence of death and ultimately gave Himself that perfect beauty of character might be "painted upon the canvas of life." The task of us who come after Him. therefore, is to go out into {he common duties of every day life and by our in- fluence make them more beautiful. By doing so we may build up for ourselves DR. JONES EXPLAINS CHINESE PROBLEMS New National Consciousness, Not Sovidt Influence, Causes Revolution. FAITH^ INV CANTONESE -----------------------? "' "I shall try to interpret the present situation in .China," said Dr. Rufus Jones speaking in the chapel on Tues- * day evening in Taylor. "Upon first sight China would appear to be in "a hopeless muddle. Besides being all at sea, the newspapers present only a prejudiced view pdint. Their over-emphasis of the Soviet influence in China makes the situation appear even worse. In reality this is an uprising and coming to con- sciousness of a great people. The right solution of the problem of the Orient is the most important issue before the world today.' The first thing to get at is the state of mind over' there, according to Dr. Joins. In recent years, large numbers of young Chinese men have gone to Amer- ican colleges and to missionary schools; and they have come out with their ideas of western civilization greatly altered. The main trouble is that China has just become aware of being treated differently from any other nation in the world. The Chinese see their autonomy held by for- eigners, their tariffs being collected by other nations, foreign warships up their rivers, foreigners making their own laws, and the natives being atrociously treated. They did not use to resent this interference and bad treatment; now they feel angry and humiliated. Five great revolutions are under way in China. The most striking is the po- litical one. The change is from a mo- narchical system to one of complete self-government. Next in importance is the literary one: hitherto their ideals and aspirations have had to be expressed through the old classical language, now CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 v a weapon against which any form of ug- liness will have little effect.

But it is* almost impossible for us, who live in a country free from such discomforts as sand storms and intense tropical heat, to visualize the difficulty of attaining such condition. We. of the present day and^ge, are living at a time when men areVapidly losing all faith in human nature. One of the distinctly detrimental elements is the influence of the newspapers, which do not. in the least, remind us that we have any means at hand of making life worth while. Science Is Disillusioning Science, ever a disillusioning factor in life, is contiually giving us an extraordi- nary view of our own insignificance.

Classic Hall of Famers thrill packed crowd, promise more
By Trevor Hayes
There were literally no empty seats in the Grandstand Theater for the Hall of Fame Classic Voices of the Game. And this special Father's Day edition delivered with the same impact the four Hall of Famers on stage had during their careers.
The sellout crowd listened for as Triple-Crown winner Bob Feller, 300-game winner Phil Niekro, 3,000-hit Club member Paul Molitor and 16-time Gold Glove Award winner Brooks Robinson reflected on their careers and talked about the game they love.
All four legends and fellow Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins headline the signature event of the weekend, the Hall of Fame Classic on Father's Day at Doubleday Field.
The theme of fathers and sons has been a principal element throughout this inaugural Hall of Fame Classic Weekend and was present during Voices of the Game. Niekro spoke vividly of his relationship. As a youngster in Ohio, he looked up to his father, who taught him the weapon that would be his bread and butter in a 24 season career.
""If it wasn't for the knuckleball, I probably would have ended up coal mining," Niekro said. "I didn't know what it was. I just had fun playing knuckle ball in the back yard. Then I was able to get Little League guys out."
His success continued and he hitched a ride to a tryout with the Milwaukee Braves. He signed for $500. Early on, Knucksie as he became known, was unsure of his talents. When the Hall's manager of museum programs Steve Light, who moderated the event asked Niekro how he fared against the two accomplished hitters on either side of him, Knucksie started laughing.
"I faced Brooks early on during a Spring Training game," he recalled. "One of my 77-mph fastballs got away from me and I hit him in the head."
Robinson countered, "Didn't hurt a bit."
"I thought I was going to be done the next day for hitting Brooks Robinson with a fastball," Niekro said.
Robinson's start wasn't something to brag about either, though he did. He played most of the 1955 season for the York (Penn.) White Roses – a B-League team in the Piedmont League. Robinson got the call at the end of the season and got two hits in his first start.
"I called home and said, 'This is cake. Why did I play in [the minors] all year? I should have been in the big leagues.'"
He then went 0-for-18. He recovered and became one of the cornerstones of the great Orioles teams of the 1960's and 70's. He appeared in four World Series, winning a pair of rings. Robinson played on a lot of great teams, but he feels one of the best didn't achieve to the level that some of his other teams might have.
In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the Miracle Mets, Light asked Robinson about the 1969 World Series.
"I thought our '62 team was our best," he said. "But anything can happen in a seven-game series. We beat [Hall of Famer Tom] Seaver and lost the next four, straight."
Baltimore was back in the Series again the next season and Robinson took the MVP honors, hitting .429 against the Big Red Machine from Cincinnati. He drove in six and hit a pair of home runs. Molitor like Robinson achieved October glory by winning the MVP Award in 1993 with the Blue Jays.
During that Fall Classic, he hit .500 with a pair of doubles, a pair of triples and a pair of homers while driving in eight against the Phillies. Molitor's best memory of that Series however, was not one of his personal achievements.
"The '93 Series, I was on first base when Joe Carter hit that ball over the wall," he said. "I was thinking if it goes off the wall and I hustle, I can score and end this thing, but then it went out and it was all over anyway."
Another highlight of Molitor's career was reaching 3,000 hits. Pure consistency throughout his career allowed The Ignitor to retire with a career .306 batting average and 3,319 hits. In 1987, he took a run at one of the game's longest standing records, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. Molitor hit safely in 39 straight.
"Whether it's milestones or streaks, players don't really play for those, but numbers are big in baseball," he said. "Falling 17 games short is still a long way away from that number and my perspective changed after that streak.
"I always tell people: The way you handle success is directly related to the way you handle failure, because 3,000 hits means 7,000 outs."
Knucksie, a member of another elite club – the 300-game winners – applauded Molitor on the achievement. He said pitchers have help in winning games, but hitters are alone.
Niekro's 300th came in his last start of 1985 as a Yankee. It was a special moment for him and his father, who was faltering in health. Niekro was 46 at the time and at the end of his contract.
"If I didn't win it, I would have had to wait until the next spring and he wasn't going to hold on that long," he said. "So really that was a blessing for both of us."
Feller missed 300 wins by 34. But he recorded a career-high 27 in 1940 followed by 25 in 1941 before leaving baseball for most of four seasons to serve in the Navy during World War II. Light noted that the Grandstand Theater is a replica of Chicago's Comiskey Park where Feller authored one of his three no-hitters and the only Opening Day no-no in the history of the game.
"Well it was 69 years ago and I remember it quite well," the Indians ace recalled. "It wasn't my best no-hitter. I didn't have great stuff that day. I only struck out eight and we won 1-0. I remember that my catcher, Rollie Hemsley, hit a triple with my rommmate on base to score the only run."
At 90, Feller's memory is as sharp as if he were reading a box score. Light asked him about his famous high-leg kick and he laughed.
"That high leg kick…You've seen the picture taken in Yankee Stadium in 1936 or '37 with my leg kicked over my head and the photographer laying flat on the ground," Feller said. "That is all for show. It was just symbolism. But it's the most popular picture they've got of me and it sells well at card shows."
Another Feller myth was confirmed, when Light asked the former fireballer about the motorcycle and his fastball. Feller said that, that also happened in Chicago. He was wearing a tie and a dress shirt during the exhibition, but when he wound up with the motorcycle ten feet behind him, the ball beat the bike to the target. Using a timer and the vehicles speedometer, it was figured that he threw the ball 104 mph. Later a similar event was held and Feller clocked in at 107 mph.
Apparently worried by this, Molitor interrupted the story, "Can I ask him how his arm is feeling, since I have to leadoff against him tomorrow? I've heard stories of him hitting the first batter, so I'm just curious."
Once the laughter subsided, and it was confirmed that Molitor would be the first batter to face the Classic's starting pitcher – the 90-year-old Feller – Light asked Robinson how he felt knowing that he'd be the first guy to dig in against Knucksie in the bottom of the first.
Recalling their Spring Training encounter, Robinson looked worried and Niekro laughed, "Put your helmet on big boy, it's coming."
It is coming. In less than 24 hours, the legends will take the field at Doubleday and the inaugural Hall of Fame Classic will begin with Molitor facing Feller and Robinson against Niekro. Feller's words seemed to sum up the entire weekend.
Baseball is a game of luck and there's a lot of good and a lot of bad," he said, noting the rain that fell on Cooperstown for most of Saturday. "We're going to have a lot of fun tomorrow, rain or shine."

I have a client who is a tap dancer. He records his dancing on a plywood board. At another studio, he was miked by two pencil condensers pointed at his feet. He thought the sound was okay but could be better. I thought that to get a better sound, and stay in budget, I would use a pair of Crown Sound Grabber II PZMs on the board plus a condenser pointed at the feet, but further back to pick up more room sound. Suggestions?
Reply: How about a pair of Sound Grabber II mics on the floor a few feet from the board? That way the mics would not get stepped on, and you'd pick up more room sound. You might not even need to use the condenser mic.
Or, you could place the Grabbers under the board on the floor to get more low-frequency thump, and use the condenser to get the high-frequency taps.

Be a Team Leader With Org Chart Software
Leadership is actually a quality that many people respect. In case you are a great leader, you may get people to support you and follow you almost anywhere. You might not think that you may have what it requires to become a leader, but that couldn't be a little more from your truth. If you are using the ideas here, there are actually your inner leader.
If you make an error in judgment, admit it. Nothing will get rid of the confidence workers have to suit your needs faster than insistence that you're right if you are clearly not. However, whenever you can admit that you are currently wrong, you will gain the respect of your own underlings. The respect of people surrounding you is imperative.
Stay Up With the Competition by Using Cloud Org Charts
Don't create the mistake of ordering people around. That is not true leadership. The key to true leadership is usually to inspire those near you. You need to help them to find their own voices, in order to go on to lead others. The complete journey they take with you is all about their ability to find out themselves better.
Make everything you can to get approachable. A lot of people believe that striking fear in peoples' hearts and intimidating them is the perfect way for you to suggest to them you happen to be in control. It isn't good, and you won't have the respect of others. Let subordinates know that they may provide you with any concerns they already have.
When you're a business leader, you have to be stern but understanding. Make certain that the folks working for you understand what you anticipate away from them. Should they don't meet your expectations immediately, allow them to have the chance to catch on. Everybody has another learning curve, and also the people that might appear slow to capture on could become your greatest workers.
Keep the eye on everything overall always. Use a clear idea on what you want to personally achieve. You should also have got a clear thought of your small business goals. You should focus on alignment and possibly overlap in relation to personal and business objectives. Be able to achieve both simultaneously. When you are no longer working towards your goals, you may lack enthusiasm.
Dress the part. There's a perception to leadership. In the event you look the role, men and women respond to your leadership a lot more positively and openly. When you dress poorly, it'll become a tougher way to climb instilling leadership. It's possible still, but make it easier on yourself and be the ideal dressed person in the office.
Trust those who do the job and do what you are able to enable them to develop their specific talents. While you must provide direction for your employees, you may not need to look over their shoulders all day long. If you discover yourself carrying this out, you possibly will not have hired the proper kind of people for the company.
Figure out how to laugh. Yes, you've got a severe job with many different responsibilities, but leadership isn't born out of tension and stress. Sometimes you have to learn to lighten the mood. Not simply on your own, however for the employees too. If you've hit some rough patches, it's your responsibility as a leader to help your team get out of it.
The world is consistently changing as well as a goo leader should be flexible enough to deal with that. You can not break up whenever there is a change in the way you probably know how to accomplish things. You can find possibilities to learn new stuff constantly, and you will utilize this.
It can be hard to become leader all the time. However, becoming a leader affords people great respect. This is why you must obtain the leader that is certainly in you. Take advantage of the information presented in this article, and it will be possible to lead your organization or organization in such a way you might have not really considered. This is why you should research the best possibilities for professional org chart software.

Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) is an abnormal heart condition. The walls separating all four chambers of the heart are poorly formed or absent. It is a congenital heart disease , which means it is present from birth.
Atrioventricular (AV) canal defect; Atrioventricular septal defect; AVSD
Endocardial cushion defect occurs while a baby is still growing in the womb. The endocardial cushions are two thicker areas that go on to develop into the wall (septum) that separates the four chambers of the heart. They also form the mitral and tricuspid valves. These are the valves that separate the atria (top collecting chambers) from the ventricles (bottom pumping chambers).
The lack of separation between the two sides of the heart causes several problems:
There are two types of ECD:
ECD is strongly linked to Down syndrome. Several gene changes are also connected to ECD. However, the exact cause of ECD is unknown.
ECD may be associated with other congenital heart defects, such as:
Symptoms of ECD may include:
Signs of ECD may include:
Children with partial ECD, who have only a small VSD and normal valves, may not have signs or symptoms of the disorder during childhood.
Tests to diagnose ECD include:
Surgery is needed to close the holes between the heart chambers, and to create distinct tricuspid and mitral valves. The timing of the surgery depends on the child's condition and the severity of the ECD. It can often be done when the baby is 3 - 6 months old. Correcting an ECD may require more than one surgery.
Your doctor may prescribe medicine before surgery if the ECD has made your baby very sick. The medicines will help the child gain weight and strength before surgery. Drugs often used include:
Surgery for a complete ECD should be done in the baby's first year of life. Otherwise, lung damage that may not be able to be reversed can occur. Babies with Down syndrome tend to develop lung disease earlier. Therefore, early surgery is very important for these babies.
How well your baby does depends on the severity of the ECD, the child's overall health, and whether lung disease has already developed. Many children live normal, active lives after the ECD is corrected.
Complications from ECD may include:
Certain complications of ECD surgery may not appear until the child is an adult. These include heart rhythm problems and a leaky mitral valve.
Ask a cardiologist whether your child needs to take antibiotics before dental treatment or other procedures.
Call your health care provider if your child:
Also talk to your health care provider if your baby is not growing or gaining weight.
ECD is linked with several genetic abnormalities. Couples with a family history of ECD may wish to seek genetic counseling before becoming pregnant.

Sciatica (pronounced sigh-at-i-ka) is a common ailment, often affecting people who work for prolonged periods while sitting down. Sciatica, technically, is pain along the large sciatic nerve, which runs from the lumbar region down the back of each leg.
A herniated disc often causes sciatica, by putting pressure on the nerve roots that become the sciatic nerve. Although sciatica can be painful or even debilitating, it is not always permanent. In fact, about 80-90% of people with sciatica improve over time without surgery.
Those with sciatica may benefit from Relax The Back products that open the thigh & torso angle greater than 90 degrees, reduce strain on the back, or relieve pressure on the discs. Inversion tables may also be helpful.
