How about something a little different? Take a stroll with 20/20 along the Seine in Paris with a special side trip to Silmo where we rest stop at the best booths in town. Those booth highlights would be listening to the trans-chamber sounds of The McCarricks at Kirk Originals, admiring the museum-like rooms of inspiration at the Lafont booth and giggling at the innovative "packaging" concept ic! berlin constructed (and deconstructed as well) on a moment's notice. So take a look and be sure to say hello to Ray Khalil and Tomas Lafont, Jason Kirk with his wife and The McCarricks and that dude from ic! berlin reconstructing their booth signage with some death defying truck climbing.

Klongtoey, Thailand (PressExposure) October 08, 2009 -- ILDEX has brought a group of international companies to showcase their technology and business solutions at ILDEX Pavilion in the Philippines at AgriLink 2009 during October 8-10, 2009 at World Trade Center Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is the debut of the ILDEX series in the Philippines. Another first is the introduction of an ILDEX Pavilion - - the international technology pavilion with a big-show concept. âWe are excited about the Philippines debut; so are the international exhibitors,â said Mr. Suhbpong Smithtun, International Project Manager, N.C.C. Exhibition Organizer Co., Ltd., a.k.a. âNEOâ the organizer of ILDEX Series or the International Livestock, Dairy, Meat-Processing, and Aquaculture Exposition in Vietnam, India, China, and the Philippines.
âAlthough this is our first time in the Philippines, and the first time for our âILDEX Pavilionâ concept, we are confident that the outcome will be satisfactory for all parties involved. International exhibitors who are optimistic about the prospects for the Philippinesâ livestock industry will experience genuine demand for technology and business solutions to improve the productivity and competitive advantages for trade visitors. Another benefit is that visitors will have direct access to international technology that should provide solutions for their businesses right here at ILDEX Pavilion,â he said.
In addition to the new technology showcase, a âmeet and match sessionâ will be another interesting feature at ILDEX Pavilion. âBusiness Matching is our key element to ensure the success of our exhibitorsâ participation. It is a trademark of ILDEX series. Let me proclaim that we have numbers of confirmed trade visitors from Nigeria, Vietnam, China, Korea, and Thailand who will visit the Pavilion during the 3-day event.â
After the ILDEX Pavilion in the Philippines, coming next is ILDEX Vietnam 2010, which will take place on March 25-27, 2010 at the New Saigon Convention and Exhibition Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. âVietnam is another interesting market in ASEAN. It has demonstrated impressive growth, driven by rising domestic consumption and the countryâs development to become a new regional meat exporter. This yields an even more positive impact on ILDEX Vietnam 2010. We are adding another 1,000 square meters exhibit space to accommodate the growing demand from international exhibitors who want to use ILDEX Vietnam 2010 as their ticket into the Vietnamese market,â the project manager said.
To fulfill its mission in âBringing International Expertise to Satisfy Local Needs,â âwe are also looking into the possibility of launching ILDEX series in other ASEAN countries to satisfy local need for international technology and create links between livestock communities in ASEAN. Ultimately, we want to see ILDEX being the regional networking and marketplace for ASEAN livestock, dairy, meat-processing, and aquaculture industries and international technology leaders. Such linkage will facilitate the flow of technological transfers within the region and therefore greatly benefit the ASEAN industry as a whole,â concluded Mr Smithtun.

BOSTON When the Red Sox announced their minor-league staffs on Wednesday there were two vacancies still remaining in the organization: the hitting coaches at Triple-A Pawtucket and Single-A Lowell.
According to sources, the two leading candidates for those jobs are ex-big league outfielderDH Chili Davis and former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman. Davis is being considered for the Pawtucket job, while Gedman is up for Lowell's vacancy.
For Gedman, a job with Lowell would mark a reunion with the organization which signed him as an undrafted free agent in 1977 out of St. Peter-Marian High School in Worcester, Mass. A two-time All-Star, Gedman hit .252 with 88 home runs and 382 RBI in 13 seasons with the Red Sox, Astros and Cardinals.
Sox announce minor-league appointments for 2011
Gedman has been coaching and managing in the independent Can-Am League since 2003. For the past six seasons, he has managed his hometown Worcester Tornadoes. Prior to that he was the hitting coach for the North Shore Spirit in Lynn, Mass. He led Worcester to a league championship in 2005, its inaugural season, being named the leagues manager of the year.
Gedman recently met with farm director Mike Hazen, assistant farm director Ben Crockett, and assistant general manager Ben Cherington, but specifics of Lowell's job opening were not discussed.
I dont know where its going to go, he said. But I just wanted to meet them. I wanted them to know that Id be serious and I hope that they would appreciate that. And if they could find some value for me in the organization somewhere where I can help in the development of the young players, great. And I would be very appreciative of the opportunity.
It would give him the opportunity to rejoin the team with which he made his big league debut. Gedman was with the Sox from 19801990. He saw his first big-league action on Sept. 7, 1980 at Fenway Park, pinch-hitting for Carl Yastrzemski in a 12-6 loss to the Mariners.
Its where I grew up, said Gedman, now 51. From 17 to 30 years old I was in the Red Sox organization. They helped me become a man. They helped me deal with life. They gave me an opportunity. Im a Worcester kid that got a chance to play for the Red Sox. So to be given another opportunity in the organization, I would be thrilled by it. I dont think Ive ever stopped being a Red Sox fan, even after I was done playing. I couldnt be happier for the organization when they won the World Series. For me, it's full circle in a lot of ways, and I would cherish the opportunity.
In 1981 he finished second in American League Rookie of the Year balloting behind the Yankees Dave Righetti, just ahead of teammate Bobby Ojeda. His best offensive season was 1985, when he hit .295 with 18 home runs and 80 RBI in 144 games. He hit a career-best 24 home runs in 1984. In 1990 he was traded to the Astros, and later joined the Cardinals as a free agent. His final major-league game was Oct. 4, 1992.
He will always be a part of Red Sox lore. On April 18, 1981, he was the starting catcher in the Pawtucket Red Sox 3-2, 33-inning win over the Rochester Red Wings, the longest game in professional baseball history.
On April 29, 1986, he caught the first of Roger Clemens 20-strikeout games. The next day, he had 16 putouts, for a total of 36 in two games, a record for a catcher in consecutive games. He was also the catcher in the 10th inning of Game Six of the 1986 World Series against the Mets when Bob Stanley unleashed what was ruled a wild pitch with Mookie Wilson batting, allowing Kevin Mitchell to score the tying run. Red Sox fans dont need to be reminded what happened after that.
Davis, who was under consideration for the Triple-A manager job before Arnie Beyeler was promoted from Double-A Portland, was the hitting coach for the Australian National team for three years and served in the same role for the Dodgers' instructional league this past season. In 19 seasons with the Giants, Angels, Twins, Royals, and Yankees, Davis, a switch-hitter, hit .274 with 350 home runs and 1372 RBI in 2,435 games primarily as a designated hitter.
He is fourth all-time in home runs by a switch-hitter.
Davis, who turns 51 in January, was selected in the 11th round of the 1977 draft by the Giants out of Dorsey High in Los Angeles, making his big league debut in 1981. A three-time All-Star, he finished fourth in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1982. He hit a career-high .315 in 1984, 30 home runs in 1997, and 112 RBI in 1993.
Davis' best season was arguably the strike-shortened 1994, when he hit .311 with 26 home runs and 84 RBI in 108 games. He won World Series in 1991 with the Twins, and in 1998 and 1999 with the Yankees. His final regular-season game was Oct. 3, 1999. Davis is the first player born in Jamaica to appear in a big league game.

You've got some cool sh*t man! The only one that doesn't really fit in your port is the last one with the lady and the dog. It doesn't really mesh with all your other stuff. Also, maybe you should consider changing from an artist/painter to a photographer, if you actually take the photos and then edit them to be the way they are. If I was coming to your area as a model, I probably would not have even come across your port because I (and I think a lot of models) don't search for artists, but photographers. Maybe you could even keep this existing one and get another one. Maybe that is a stupid idea, but I'm critiquing so there!

I'd start by switching your avatar to the first photo in your port. Also, try to maybe put some effort into your bio. The whole short and sweet thing comes off as I don't give a sh*t. To be honest, none of your photos are remarkable. None of them make me want to shoot with you (not that you'd want to shoot with ME but just sayin'). You just seem like a guy with a camera shooting willy nilly whoever stumbles in front of your camera. Number one is good, 2 is okay, 3 would be good without the model distracting me from the boat, and everything else kind of goes downhill from there man. I wish I had something better to say...you just need to practice more. Also, get rid of #7. She looks like she's taking a poop.

Thanks, I do take the photos and should probably change that artist/painter designation, it was left over from a previous idea where I was altering the images more by hand and then re-scanning. These are slides soaked in water until I get a level of degradation I'm after and although it is a physical process and gets a painterly look it's a bit of a misnomer to call it other than photography.

Mickey Mouse Classrooms: Just What is Our Children Learning?
It's been about six years since I left school now, and every year since the same report comes in: on average, GCSE and A-Level pass grades are up. Last year, 97.8% (?!) of pupils achieved a pass grade in their A-Levels and 27% of those were the highest grades. And good for them, too - but excuse me for not buying the notion that the increase in pass grades is entirely down to the fact that students are now harder working than they were, say, 20 years ago.
People have referenced the Flynn Effect, whereby IQ increases with each successive generation, but I'm *ahem* skeptical, since the Flynn Effect doesn't say that people born in 1989 are, taken as whole, more intelligent and hard working than people born in 1988, it's a 3 point increase in IQ scores per decade and, to me, seems unrelated to the issue of GCSE and A-Level grade inflation. Moreover, the idea that our kids are transforming into hyper-intelligent ubermensch seems dubious since, internationally speaking, we're not so great and that broken clock the Daily Mail happens to be right for the first time today - exams are easier than they were ten years ago. Just look at The Guardian's comparison between GCSEs and the old O-Level exams and try and say with a straight face that they're of equivalent difficutly. Of course, manipulating grade boundaries for an ideological point is perverse, but that shouldn't immediately tar anybody with a concerned look on their face about the state of education in Britain with the brush that they're somehow a right-wing bogeyman eager to tarnish the achievements of hard-working young people. Left-wing people should be concerned about the state of education, too.
My experience at school, educationally speaking, was an over-liberal infusion of the education process with the teaching of 'study skills', which to most people is known as being taught how to pass the exam. Now, there is empirical data out there which shows that this sort of teaching is effective at getting kids to score higher grades and presumably this is what teachers are referring to when they're saying that what's actually improved is the quality of the teaching, but study skills are an extremely poor substitute for critical thinking and source analysis. From my experience, anyway, the school as an institution is so paralysed with fear that not enough pupils will achieve the highest grades that they've found teaching study skills to be an effective means of reaching their targets. For lazy students like I was, meanwhile, study skills were an excellent means of getting a higher grade with minimal work. My English Literature GCSE exam was on Lord of the Flies and I got an A despite not having read the book, simply because I'd been at the lessons where we were told what to say on the exam - I remember the teacher giving us a very long explanation of what the word 'microcosm' meant because it made you look smart and might make the difference between an A or A*. Everyone in the class went in and wrote near-identical essays and came out with a good grade - if you performed poorly, you hadn't memorised the material properly. The school looks good, the teachers look like they've improved their output and pupils get better grades. Everyone wins.
This isn't to say that study skills don't play an important role, but they are a poor substitute for a rounded education. Schools nowadays resemble exam workhouses where the purpose of the exam is purely the destination, not the journey. As long as the end result is okay, nobody really cares what you actually learned. Anthony Seldon makes this same point and suggests that schools should do more to 'build character' - that's a bit overly patrician for my tastes, but the point stands that schools need to do something more than offer a means for students to learn how to game the system effectively. This might sound conceited, but I was once told by one of my tutors in the law department that I was a 'rare' student, because I had intellectual curiosity. I don't think it was meant to be a particular compliment towards me, more a lamentation of the average standard of University students. I asked what she meant by 'rare', and she told me that her experience with British students in the law department was that they generally are quite poor at engaging critically with the work assigned to them and treat the student-professor relationship as a commercial transaction. "Can't you just tell me how to pass the exam?" is a frequent request. The blame, of course, doesn't lie with these students - their experience of education thus far has been essentially that as long as they learn the script, they'll do well. Universities haven't quite acquired this mindset yet (they're getting there) and value originality, critical thought and independent learning a great deal more than your average school. My experience at school was that originality was urgently discouraged as a dangerous diversion from the tried-and-tested formula of the memorised essay.
Teaching to the test is not the problem per se, but only if it's used as a means to an end; a creative and intriguing way of demonstrating the content of the subject itself. If, for instance, a question comes up on Nazi foreign policy, I can well imagine that you could teach a model answer to the question and demonstrate the fundamental principles underlying such an answer. Why structure the essay in a certain way? Why are certain facts important, but others less so, for instance? The solution is less to teach people how to answer a question than it is to teach them why a question needs asking in the first place. Yet let he be the one who has not finished an exam having no idea of the content of what he has just written be the one to cast the first stone. Our biggest problem in our schools is not how well our pupils are doing, but what it is we are teaching them.

The only modern, up-to-date introduction to plasticity Despite phenomenal progress in plasticity research over the past fifty years, introductory books on plasticity have changed very little. To meet the need for an up-to-date introduction to the field, Akhtar S. Khan and Sujian Huang have written Continuum Theory of Plasticitya truly modern text which offers a continuum mechanics approach as well as a lucid presentation of the essential classical contributions. The early chapters give the reader a review of elementary concepts of plasticity, the necessary background material on continuum mechanics, and a discussion of the classical theory of plasticity. Recent developments in the field are then explored in sections on the Mroz Multisurface model, the Dafalias and Popov Two Surface model, the non-linear kinematic hardening model, the endochronic theory of plasticity, and numerous topics in finite deformation plasticity theory and strain space formulation for plastic deformation. Final chapters introduce the fundamentals of the micromechanics of plastic deformation and the analytical coupling between deformation of individual crystals and macroscopic material response of the polycrystal aggregate. For graduate students and researchers in engineering mechanics, mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering, Continuum Theory of Plasticity offers a modern, comprehensive introduction to the entire subject of plasticity.
Primarily for use in the first graduate course in plasticity, this textbook provides an up-to-date continuum mechanics approach to understanding and predicting the behavior of solids undergoing plastic deformation. It incorporates the newer developments of recent years while retaining the essential classical contributions. It assumes some knowledge in tensors, Miller indices, and crystal structure; an elementary course in continuum mechanics would be helpful. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Picture this: I have a cold so Im trying to get some rest. I'm just about to drift off when my phone vibrates and a loud noise sort of like a sneeze emits from it. Its 10:04 and my phone reads loud and clear that 'Jason Cladderfart is ready to go on a quest!' What?!? I thought I said no to push notifications! But that's okay, because this awesome game makes up for it! I've played many dragon games (4 to be exact, including dragonvale, dragon skies, dragon town, and dragon zoo...the last two stink) , but nothing quite like this one. The dragons are goofy and cute and have their own personalities. My personal favorite is Shenlong Wingsly, the love dragon, because while his drooping eyelids and sleek hair try to make him look cool and classy, the effect is hilariously ruined when he barfs up everywhere. I have just one complain, and that involves the pug dragon. I love pugs, I even own one, but I have no plans of getting a twitter or a Facebook, so I can't complete the fourth step to getting a pug dragon! Please make there another way to get this pug dragon!!! I'm sure many players without Facebook or Twitter will be happy! Other than that, Dragon up is a great game.
Edit: okay I got the pug dragon... But there's nothing to do without more missions!!!!! Add more missions to make the game interesting, please!! I don't want to delete tgis game but it has lost its playing value without stuff to do. Please add more missions! Thanks!
Cute, Fun, but it crashes
The graphics are adorable, and the animation is great. Sound effects and music play into the game seamlessly, and once you get a hang of the menu navigation it's still a little confusing, but not too bad. (definitely needs better "treasure" swapping/organization screens.)
Gameplay is your basic time related game: send your dragons on quests and wait a few minutes/hours to earn coins. It's very addicting, and to level up your dragons there's a raft-like elevator where you carry citizens to feed your dragons -- gives you something to do while waiting. Kept me playing and entertained while waiting to see what zany dragon I would hatch next.
Downsides: it crashes. Sometimes it'll operate just fine, others I can't even get past the opening screen. It even started to cause my OTHER apps to crash too, which was the most alarming. You can still play the game though, just be warned you may need to restart your phone.
Guild function also is lacking. Tends to crash when trying to connect and requires wifi. Guilds fill up fast, and are sort of a lame attempt at creating some kind of social network. They basically make players force others to get the game or spread their own facebook ads for the game. It's also required to complete quests, which is the most annoying part.
Also there's an option to watch an ad to get gems, it almost always crashes my game and it feels cheap.
Cute and lots of fun, but still in need of improvements to get 4/5 stars.
It's a very lovely game
The graphics are very amazing,the dragons are cute & everything is done very fast & easy :) I just started playing the game today while looking for a new game to download & it caught my eye I honestly thought it was going to be boring but it's actually very fun & innovating I'm already at 6 dragons & 2 eggs that are already to crack it's very cool & interesting I will keep on playing & see what other surprises the game has & hopefully by then there will be a new update to add new quest & Dragons 🌸

Dearest Family and Friends,
Our beloved Helen Mo passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2017. She died in her sleep during the early morning hours. It was unexpected, but peaceful and painless. She was 33 years old. She was full of happiness and delight in her final days, and most importantly, Helen knew that she was deeply loved and respected by all of us.

Dear Friends,
I want to raise money to pay for the construction of a new school in the village of Tipling, in Nepal. This past summer, I spent five weeks volunteering in Nepal, both in the city of Kathmandu and in remote mountain villages. I was able to see first-hand the damage that was caused by the recent earthquakes, and I was fortunate to meet some of the amazing people who are working tirelessly to rebuild the country's damaged infrastructure.

There are still more than 100 days until the Arizona State Sun Devils begin the 2014 football season against Weber State, but that doesn't mean it's too early for preseason prognostications, at least according to Athlon Sports.
The longtime college football annual is releasing its preseason Top 25 a few teams at a time, and the defending Pac-12 South champion Sun Devils came in at No. 16 on the list.
(Head coach Todd) Graham talks big — and so far has backed up his words. But given the massive remake of the defense, it's hard to imagine the Sun Devils winning a second straight Pac-12 South title. ASU will attack offensively and score a lot of points, but it might also be on the wrong end of 45-42 games. ASU has to play at USC, Washington, Oregon State and arch-rival Arizona and also has a difficult non-conference game against Notre Dame in early November. A nine-win season would deserve applause.
The preview also says the Devils should have one of the top offenses in the Pac-12, led by senior quarterback Taylor Kelly, junior running back D.J. Foster and junior wideout Jaelen Strong.
This year's Athlon Sports College Football Preview is scheduled to hit newsstands around Memorial Day.

Tincture of time
Flu season hit hard this year, and the normal, if unwelcome, after effect of many viral upper respiratory infections is a lingering cough.
A recent review of the medical literature found that, on average, a cough will last 17.8 days! Fortunately, most coughs are self limiting; that is, they will get better without special treatment, such as antibiotics.
If you have a question about when to seek medical attention for a cough, visit FamilyDoctor.org 'Check Your Symptoms'.
For home treatment, however, the drugstore shelves are filled with a dizzying array of cough products. Which one, if any, is best?
Before spending money, try a simple and inexpensive treatment: a mug of warm water (or tea) with an added tablespoon of honey (or sugar). The sugar coats your throat and the warm vapor from the water helps soothe your airway.
FYI, most "soothing" lozenges are just sugar. Sucking on any hard candy will increase salivation and ease the dryness in your throat.
To me, cough medications are a good example of the mass marketing of over-the-counter drugs that offer minimal relief and might actually make you feel worse. Cochrane Reviews suggest there is little evidence to recommend any OTC cough/cold product.
But if you must buy something, ignore the sales pitch on the front of the package and read the ingredients.
Avoid mentholated cough drops. Menthol is a common ingredient in cough suppressant drops because it temporarily numbs the tissue in your throat. But it is also very irritating, and after the very temporary analgesic effect wears off, your cough or sore throat might get worse.
Cough syrups often contain several ingredients. Consider what you need and read the labels to know what you are buying.
Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It works by decreasing the feeling that you need to cough. A side effect of dextromethorphan is slight drowsiness, which is most appropriate for nighttime use.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening the mucus in your airway, making it easier to cough up and clear your airway. Guaifenesin is also available in tablet form.
I have never understood why manufacturers combine dextromethorphan and guaifenesin, since they actually work against each other.
Other common ingredients in these cough/cold cocktails are:
- Antihistamines—diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine—usually found in "night" formulations as they cause drowsiness.
- Decongestants—phenylephrine—can further dry out your airway and make your cough worse. Also, a common side effect is jitteriness or rapid heart rate.
- Pain relievers—acetaminophen—I recently posted about the danger of acetaminophen overdose. Please be careful and read the labels!
If your main complaint is a cough, avoid these multi-symptom drugs. Always try the simplest (and usually the cheapest) treatment first.
Remember, a cough can take as long as 3 weeks to go away. Patience (with a touch of honey) is key.
Frugal Nurse

Looking at the current regulations on e-cigs in the US, it appears that more-and-more states are putting in place stringent measures that are aimed at curbing vaping in public. When it was introduced into the market, electronic cigarettes were seen as a safer and healthier option compared to the traditional tobacco cigarettes. This was because the amount of nicotine could be controlled, there was no production of tar, carcinogens, and other toxic chemicals, and the e-cigs could be used as smoking aids.
Unfortunately, there has been a growing concern about the safety of electronic cigarettes. Yes, they seem to be much safer than the normal cigarette, but, is this opinion true? Due to lack of sufficient evidence that shows vape pens are much safer, critics to the electronic cigarette have been calling for the regulation on the cigarettes. The opponents argue that the e-juice that produces the vapor also contains the same chemicals (nicotine, carcinogens, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and many others) found in tobacco cigarettes. This makes e-cigs equally harmful.
Considering that there is no adequate proof that e-cigs are less harmful than tobacco, or that they can help a person cease smoking, many states have already placed regulations that are aimed at controlling the use. Many states want electronic cigarettes categorized in the same class as the normal cigarettes. They should therefore not be smoked in public, advertisement targeting younger people should be banned, and the flavors should be scrutinized before being allowed into the market. States such as Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles have already implemented bans on smoking e-cigs indoors.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been under pressure to regulate e-cigs. Guided by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Tobacco Control Act, the regulatory authority regulates tobacco products and related activities. In September 2009, the FDA undertook a study to verify the effects e-cigs had on health. Based on its finding, the regulator decided to ban the importation of e-cigs stating that e-cigs were unregulated medical devices. In December 2010 however, the federal courts of appeal made a decision that the FDA had no mandate to regulate electronic cigarettes since they didn't fall under the tobacco products that are regulated by the FDA.
Following the ruling by the federal court of appeal, The FDA embarked on drafting new regulations so as to control the use of electronic cigarettes. The proposals were to take effect one year ago but have never seen the light of day. The regulatory authority is optimistic that the proposals will become reality this year. The regular has expanded the description of tobacco products to include dissolvables, hookah tobacco, gels, electronic cigarettes, pipe tobacco, and cigars. The FDA has also included a clause that allows it to also regulate products that might be invented in the future.
A look at the proposed regulations reveals that the FDA wants to be involved in the processes of registration and approval. The manufacturers are required to give details of the entire manufacturing process, the ingredients, and verifiable scientific data. Also, the FDA wants to be given powers to inspect the manufacturing facilities. If the current regulations on e-cigs in USA become reality, the sector will face many new challenges.

Stacey Dooley: New Drugs Frontiers w/t (3 x 60′) – Across the world there's a cat and mouse battle being fought between drug traffickers and law enforcement, and in this brand-new series, Stacey Dooley goes to the heart of this ongoing war.
Despite global efforts to crack down on the drugs trade, new and more powerful drugs are constantly being created. New countries are being dragged into the battle, which is presenting major challenges to the authorities trying to combat them and posing new threats to local populations and the people who take the drugs.
In this series, Stacey travels to Mexico to investigate the meth trade, the drug cartels and how they're destroying whole swathes of the country. In South Africa she's on the trail of the latest and most potent strains of skunk, and in India she reveals the truth behind the latest wave of designer drugs hitting Britain's streets. In all three countries, she joins the authorities on the front line, tracks down participants and victims, and witnesses the chaos and destruction these dangerous substances leave in their wake.

Canadian's remains found 3 years after he was swept away by landslide in New Zealand
HAAST, New Zealand — Police in New Zealand say they've found partial remains of a Canadian man whose vehicle went off a highway in the country three years ago.
Connor Hayes and Joanna Lam were in a campervan near New Zealand's Haast Past in September 2013 when police say the vehicle was swept off a highway by a landslide.
Police say the Ottawa couple was killed in the crash.
READ MORE: New Zealand police find woman's body while searching for missing Canadians
Twenty-four-year-old Lam's body was recovered days later from a beach north of the tourist town of Haast, but twenty-five-year-old Hayes was never found.
On Wednesday, New Zealand police announced that a hunter located a human thigh bone at the confluence of two rivers in August, which DNA analysis has confirmed is Hayes's.
READ MORE: Police trying to recover bodies of Canadians in New Zealand
Insp. Mel Aitken says the discovery prompted a new search of the Haast River this Sunday and a number of "items of interest" were recovered from the riverbed, but police have yet to confirm they belong to Hayes.
Aitken says anything believed to belong to Hayes, including bones, will eventually be released to his family in Canada.

Michael Dinner
Jump to
Early on in his career, director-producer Michael Dinner appears to have figured out that he was better off working in TV than film. This turned out to be a very smart move. Beginning with the much beloved teen comedy-drama "The Wonder Years" in the early 1990's, for which he directed 19 episodes, Dinner has built up an envious track record as a TV director and producer. His other major career milestones as both a director and producer are the CBS medical drama "Chicago Hope," created by David E. Kelley; the provocative real-time NBC experiment "Kidnapped"; and a remake of "Fantasy Island" in the late 1990's in which Malcolm McDowell tried to fill the big shoes of previous show star Ricardo Montalban. Dinner has solidified his standing in the TV industry with executive producer credits on everything from "Karen Sisco" to another iconic small screen remake attempt, "Bionic Woman." He won an Emmy Award in 1990 for directing an episode of "The Wonder Years" entitled "Good-Bye."

What Makes A Painting Work Art Blog
Brush Painting: Colors of Black and White
by art_composition , November 16, 2009—12:00 AM
Western Art presents plentiful examples of excellent use of black and white: ink drawings by PIcasso, photos by Ansel Adams, the best of the motion pictures' early decades are but a few examples. It is in Chinese and Japanese Brush painting that the varying shades of black or gray are actually called colors. The classic paintings of China and Japan range from simple bamboo shoots to complex landscapes. What they have in common is the power of color within the blue black or brown black that is used. We see this also in modern masters such as Xu Beihong whose horses I particularly admire http://www.xubeihong.org/
In working with the ink I love the subtle shades made possible depending on the amount of water in the ink and in the brush. Rice paper and silk, traditionally used for brush painting, are thirsty surfaces. Practice, test the flow from the brush on a "scratch" sheet, because you must paint quickly or lose control. Working in monochromatic shades is excellent for developing a sense of value in painting--without it one loses all detail in such a work. The composition itself will demand balance because the negative spaces are so clearly seen in white, and it becomes instantly obvious in a piece is too centered or too repetitive.
There are specific concerns with the colors in the painting of plum trees and plum blossoms as I've done here. Old bark is usually lighter colored than new growth. it is also rougher. The young growth is darker and smoother. Plum blossoms require light ink and may be done in outline to use the white of the paper. Variations in ink color help tell the story of age and scars from disease or injury in the older growth.
I used darker ink in the stump behind the vigorous tree. There were two reasons for that. One is that bark around the base of a tree is often darkened by the damp along the ground. Notice the grasses to help make this point. Plum tree in the language of brush painting represents winter and with it age, but also the promise of spring and continuation in the shoots and blossoms. My tree stump carries this to extreme, we have a fallen tree with that little blossom promising hope for the future. And enter the other reason for the dark ink on the right side of the tree trunk. Painting is about problem solving--either in how to represent the world and our abstraction of it, or how to fix the problems we create in the process. I had a boo-boo because I left a brush in place too long on that thirsty paper when I was attempting to make a cat looking up at that little bird in the plum tree. This mistake led me into a solution that strengthened the age-and-renewal theme. The blob of ink from the cat gone wrong became part of the colors that represent the rough old bark in the stump.

Caroline you are right: black and white are base but powerful colors. Shades are gray-ish but so important for artworks.
Great composition and it won't be so stylish if it was done with anything else but black and white!

Your painting is really great! It reminds me the style of Chinese and Japanese Brush painting that I particularly admire! I have even written a vast essay about the technique of how their created for my Art History classes.

Hi Caroline,
I totally agree that working in monochrome gives you (and the viewer) the possibility of fully appreciating subtleties and gradations in tone. This is one of the things that attracts me to good black and white photography. The presence of rich color makes the contemplation of tonal subtlety impossible.
What fascinates me is your choice to call them color instead of tone. It is clear that you are not just trying to respond to tonal gradations, but also to represent the color that is there in your subject. On one level, you can't; on another level it informs all your choices as you work.

Budget not transformative, focuses on reducing demonetization pain: Ind-Ra
The broad theme of the FY18 budget remains on reducing the pain arising out of demonetization and continuity of focusing on infrastructure and housing, says India Ratings and Research (India Ratings). The fiscal deficit target at 3.2 per cent of GDP in FY18 is lower than expected and positive for money markets, this will ensure transmission of low rates and benefits to the banking sector, said the rating agency.
Higher MNREGA spending than was budgeted in FY17 budget and increasing allocation to Rs 480 billion aimed at reducing the demonetization pain. This could be seen from the focus areas of the budget on agriculture/rural, MSME/informal sector and people who are in the lower income bracket. The budget pegs 2016-17 (revised estimates) fiscal and revenue deficit at 3.2 per cent and 2.1 per cent of GDP respectively.
The same for 2017-18 are pegged at 3.2 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively. This shows some improvement in the quality of deficit, which is a welcome step and soothes, the nerves of the debt market. Central government's net tax revenues are expected to grow at 12.7 per cent in 2017-18 (2016-17: 15.4%) translating in a net tax revenue buoyancy of marginally higher than 1.
Aggregate net tax collection assumptions appear to be plausible, however, at sectoral level it appears to be slightly difficult. For the banking sector, the budget reinforced Ind-Ra's thesis on rationing of growth capital for PSU banks, while keeping the option of providing bailout capital open. Modest growth target for agri lending also points to the fact that Govt. is cognizant and comfortable with PSU banks' inability to grow at a rapid pace. Ind-Ra expects this to keep the demand for Additional Tier-1 bonds high even in FY18.
Affordable housing has been given infrastructure status enhancing funding access as well as reducing borrowing costs, pace of lending through NHB continues , eligibility parameters on tax benefits for developers have been expanded and higher spends are being directed through PM Awas Yojna.

Australia Post has been issuing stamps for Christmas Island since 1993. Through the years, Christmas Island Christmas stamp designs have depicted tropical visions of Santa's visit, incorporating island features into the designs.
Christmas Island's 2003 Christmas stamps, designed by Melbourne based Bill Wood, feature a fanciful depiction of Christmas festivities on Christmas Island.
The 45c stamp shows Santa arriving at Christmas Island astride a friendly whaleshark and escorted by red-footed booby birds, with the limestone cliffs of the island seen in the background.
The 50c stamp shows Santa distributing gifts, while sitting on a green turtle. His red-footed booby bird escorts are now singing carols from a tree branch, while Christmas Island's ubiquitous red crabs are receiving their gifts on the shore.
Date of Issue : 31 Oct 2003
Postmark : Christmas Island 6798
Denomination : 45c and 50c
Stamp Size : 30.5mm x 30mm

Christmas Island is an external Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean, 2600 kilometres north-west of Perth. This lush, tropical island was named after its first recorded sighting on Christmas Day in 1643.
The warm waters surrounding the island are a world-renowned destination for divers, who often encounter Whalesharks - harmless, plankton feeding sharks and the world's largest fish.
The whaleshark is depicted in above 45c stamp.

One Frame – Nikki & Hooverney's Together shoot at Virginia Water
This was one of those edits where everything just happened without a great deal of intervention from me. A real Joy to work on.
Nikki & Hooverney have been on my Radar for nearly 2 years now – their wedding is just around the corner. It was really nice to catch up and re-connect at this point in their journey. The Together shoot is so important to me. It always makes sense to fit one in in the run up to the wedding, whether that's a week before or 6 months before. Sometimes the weather might really be against us. Sometimes we might have to re-schedule, but it's always worth doing.
A walk and a talk. It really helps me understand the couple's wedding and story just that little bit more. I know they're not always possible, but when they work out the engagement shoots can be a breakthrough part of the process. Another step forward on the journey.
Just One Frame (OK, two then!) from this lovely couple's giggly Together Shoot.

How has being an Ervin Scholar influenced and benefited you?
Being an Ervin Scholar has been and continues to be hugely influential in my life. Some of my closest friends in college, and to this day, were fellow Ervin Scholars. The program is more than a scholarship, it's a community filled with exceptional people who constantly challenge and inspire me to try to live up to their standards. Dean McLeod played a huge role in shaping the way that I think. Through his Habits of Achievement, his mentorship and the incredible example that he set for all of us, I became a better person. The high bar that he and other administrators in the program set for each of us always seemed unrealistic, yet always inspired us to excel and do our best to achieve it. My time at Wash U set me on the course towards becoming the person that I am today; the Ervin Scholars Program continues to play a role in shaping the person I will be in the future.

Panthers win NHL Draft Lottery; Sabres will select second overall
By John Vogl
SCARBOROUGH, Ont. – The Sabres lost all season on the ice, so it's little surprise they lost a lottery, too.
Last-place Buffalo will not pick first overall pick in the NHL Draft after the Florida Panthers won the draft lottery tonight. There were 13 non-playoff teams eligible of earning the No. 1 selection, and the 29th-place Panthers won while having an 18.8 percent chance.
The Sabres had the best chance at 25 percent.
The draft will be held June 27-28 in Philadelphia, and Buffalo will select in the top five for only the second time since 1987. They took Thomas Vanek fifth overall in 2003.
The NHL has been conducting a draft lottery since 1995, but it revamped the rules last year to give all teams that fail to make the playoffs a shot at the No. 1 selection. The rest of the first round is conducted in reverse order, so Buffalo had a 73.5 percent chance of falling to No. 2. It did.
(New Jersey, which had a 1.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, was ineligible because of a salary cap violation.)
Buffalo became the 13th last-place team in 19 lotteries to lose the weighted contest. Florida finished at the bottom last year, but Colorado won the lottery to leapfrog the Panthers and bump them to second.
There are four players considered worthy of being drafted at the top: defenseman Aaron Ekblad and forwards Sam Bennett, Sam Reinart and Leon Draisaitl. The Sabres were far and away the worst offensive team in the NHL and have a good corps of defense prospects, but General Manager Tim Murray wouldn't rule out taking Ekblad, if he's available.
"We could if he's the best player," Murray said. "I'm not saying he's the best player, but he's in the group of three or four guys when we get together in May that will be discussed as the No. 1 pick. He's in the group. I'm not going to say he for sure is the No. 1 player on our list, be he will be in the discussion. There's no question."
The Sabres could end up with two picks in the top five. The New York Islanders own the No. 5 selection, but they have until June 1 to decide whether to give it to Buffalo or deliver their 2015 first-round pick to the Sabres as part of the Thomas Vanek trade.
Isles GM Garth Snow did not attend the draft lottery, so his thoughts will have to wait.
"He's got to say yes or he's got to say no. It's not maybe," Murray said. "Next year in a really good draft, if he decides to keep it this year, then you have an extra pick. It's a win-win situation."

Dear Parents:
Wisconsin State Statute 118.163 states [that] "truancy is defined as being absent from school without an acceptable excuse for part or all of any day on which school is held during a school semester."
While over 90% of our students have excellent attendance, truancy has increased for some of the student body. We are continuing to maintain our high standards of excellence for our students and our school. With that being said, excellence starts with being to school on time everyday and being on time during all periods of the school day.
Starting February 7, 2009, Saturday Morning Detentions (SMD) will be assigned to students who habitually break our school attendance policy. Those who are excessively tardy to school, late to class, and/or unexcused absent from class, will be required to either attend a SMD, or be referred to the Brown Deer Police and issued a citation for truancy, which results in a court appearance, a monetary fine and/or other consequences assigned by the municipal court.
We are asking your commitment as a parent/guardian to teach our students that there are consequences for failing to fulfill basic responsibilities. Please be sure your daughter/son understands this policy and the consequences for not complying with school rules. Thank you.

Season 93 host San Sebastian to bring back NCAA on Tour
After the success of the last two seasons of the NCAA, the Grand Old League is set to bring back an innovation they started back in the 88th season of the league: the NCAA on Tour.
During the league's turnover ceremony that saw San Beda College formally give San Sebastian College-Recoletos hosting duties for the 93rd season of the league, incoming NCAA president Rev. Fr. Nemesio Tolentin, OAR bared their plans for the season — including the aforementioned tour.
"We have discussed some innovations for this incoming season and we're introducing the NCAA on Tour," Fr. Tolentin shared.
"Games will be held in schools and some other places so that we can bring the NCAA closer to the people and to the fans."
The NCAA introduced this back in Season 88 when Colegio de San Juan de Letran was host. Back then, the league played out of town games, specifically in Laguna and Subic. The league is planning to return to this two areas while also hosting games in the school's gyms for once a week.
And with the rejuvenation of fan interest in the league, the move is seen as something that would bring the league closer to the wider audience.
"It's a wonderful opportunity and a great privilege for us to lead the NCAA to soar to greater heights," the incoming president furthered. "We are confident that we can accomplish this responsibility with success with the support and commitment shown by the Management Committee and whole NCAA family."
"We're in for reigniting. We want to reignite the spirit and the fire of our fans, so one thing to do that is to bring the games closer and play it in our schools," incoming chairman Rev. Fr. Glynn Ortega, OAR said.
This season's game dates will still be on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The opening ceremony will be held on Saturday, July 8 with defending champions San Beda Red Lions taking on season-hosts San Sebastian College-Recoletos Golden Stags for the 2:00pm game while the Arellano University Chief take on the Mapua Institute of Technology Cardinals at 4:00pm.

Marikina, Philippines (PressExposure) April 26, 2008 -- Divorce in the United States is a matter of state rather than federal law. In recent years, however, more federal legislation has been enacted affecting the rights and responsibilities of divorcing spouses. The laws of the state(s) of residence at the time of divorce govern; all states recognize divorces granted by any other state.
All states impose a minimum time of residence. Typically, a county courtâs family division judges petitions for dissolution of marriages. Prior to the latter decades of the 20th century, a spouse seeking divorce had to show cause and even then might not be able to obtain a divorce. The no-fault divorce "revolution" began in 1969 in California, and was completed in 1985 (New York is the last holdout).
However, most states require some waiting period, typically a 1 to 2 year separation. Fault grounds, when available, are sometimes still sought. This may be done where it reduces the waiting period otherwise required, or possibly in hopes of affecting decisions related to a divorce, such as child custody, child support, or alimony.

Mediation is a growing way of resolving divorce issues. It tends to be less adversarial (particularly important for any children), more private, less expensive, and faster than traditional litigation. Similar in concept, but with more support than mediation, is collaborative divorce, where both sides are represented by attorneys but commit to negotiating a settlement without engaging in litigation.
Some believe that mediation may not be appropriate for all relationships, especially those that included physical or emotional abuse, or an imbalance of power and knowledge about the parties' finances. This makes collaborative divorce to be the most popular approach to having a divorce. Check out what the st. louis divorce attorney can provide about collaborative divorces.
States vary in their rules for division of assets. Some states are "community property" states, others are "equitable distribution" states, and others have elements of both. But either way, divorce is still the predominating law of legal separation in the world.

Larry Dorsey Seymour
Authorities formally charged a Franklin County man with murder Monday in connection with the Saturday shooting death of an acquaintance at a Canon home.
Larry Dorsey Seymour, 54, an unemployed man living on a disability pension in Canon, was charged with murder, possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Franklin County sheriff's investigator Jimmy LeCroy said Seymour is believed to have shot 47-year-old Danny Freeman once in the chest with a .22-caliber rifle at the College Avenue home of Freeman's mother, where Seymour lived.
LeCroy said a motive was still being investigated. He declined to say whether alcohol was involved in the Saturday afternoon shooting.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Seymour served time in prison in the mid-1990s for drug and habitual violator charges in Hart and Franklin counties. He was living with Freeman's mother but the two were not thought to be romantically involved, LeCroy said.
Seymour remains in the Franklin County jail without bond.
Saturday's shooting was the third homicide this year in Franklin County, and the second this month.
