For master's-level students in Helsinki, UNU-WIDER and HECER offer a joint course in development economics. For more information please contact UNU-WIDER course assistant, Caroline Schimanski
The course will cover modern theories of economic growth, their relevance for low-income countries, and dual-economy models. A major part of the course will deal with various aspects of poverty and inequality, including measurement issues, recent trends, and the impacts of inequality on growth. The course will end with a discussion of market mechanisms in the rural sector, with a special emphasis on labour arrangements and finance, including recent work on microfinance.
For more information about Development Economics I, visit the course website
This course is a continuation of the course 'Development Economics I: Fundamentals'. Instead of basic theories, it will be more oriented towards some of the key policy issues in developing countries. The course will start from the analysis of political economy decision-making and the fundamental question of the correct role of the state in economic development, which is reflected, for example, in decisions on industrial policy.
It will examine how monetary and fiscal policies are implemented in developing countries, and includes discussions on trade and industrial policy and the impact of globalization on developing countries. In the second part of the course, lecturers will cover development topics related to agriculture, labour markets, gender, ethnicity, climate change economics, decentralization, and local governance. The course will also contain a lecture on successful case studies from the developing world.
For more information about Development Economics II, visit the course website

From LeakyPedia
Moaning Myrtle is a ghost in Hogwarts, who can usually be found haunting the girls' bathroom on the second floor. Myrtle constantly wails, moans and sobs, especially when anyone mentions her death to her, and her dreadful moods can often affect the plumbing and flood the bathroom. She was killed in the same bathroom she now haunts by the basilisk in 1943, when Tom Riddle opened the Chamber of Secrets for the first time.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Second Book
Harry, Ron and Hermione first encounter Moaning Myrtle in the second book, when the trio use Myrtle's bathroom as a place to secretly brew polyjuice potion. In this book it is learnt that Myrtle was a student at Hogwarts fifty years ago who had hidden in the girls' bathroom to escape Olive Hornby, a fellow student who had been teasing Myrtle about her glasses. Whilst in the bathroom, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the Basilisk escaped and Myrtle died by looking into its eyes. She had been haunting the same bathroom ever since. Tom Riddle used her murder to create his first horcrux: the diary
[edit] Fourth Book
Whilst in the prefect's bathroom trying to solve the mystery of the golden Egg, Harry encounters Myrtle again, who makes flirtatious and lascivious comments to Harry. Myrtle helps Harry by telling him to open the egg underwater, leads him to solve the mystery.
[edit] Sixth Book
In the sixth book, Myrtle becomes friendly with Draco Malfoy, who spends a lot of time crying in the bathroom. When Harry injures Malfoy by using the Sectumsempra curse on him, Myrtle spreads the news by screaming "MURDER! MURDER IN THE BATHROOM!"
[edit] Film Portrayals
Moaning Myrtle is portrayed in the second and fourth films by Shirley Henderson. Her role is not reprised in the sixth film.
[edit] Additional Canon
J. K. Rowling has said on her website that Myrtle was Sorted into Ravenclaw House when she was at school.[1]

A heartbroken community is preparing to say goodbye to a Goochland army reservist. He was killed one week ago, in what is described as a Russian roulette-style game. His mother is now speaking out ahead of this weekend's memorial service.
The family says a large military presence is expected at this weekend's memorial.
We now have the 911 tapes that shed light on what happened to 20-year-old Christopher Ryan Benson. He was known as Ryan to those closest to him.
"My friend has shot himself in the head," said the caller.
"Ok. On purpose or on accident?" asked the 911 operator.
"On accident," replied the caller. "I don't know. All I heard was a gunshot go off, and I looked over and he had fallen."
Benson's mother was still too emotional to show her tear stained face on camera, but she wanted share a few words about her son.
"I didn't want to believe it," recalls Melinda about the night she got the dreadful call. "But it was like in my heart I knew because I was getting calls from everybody."
Benson was sometimes called avatar because of his 6 foot 3 stature and his even bigger smile.
"Everybody loved him," said Melinda. "He didn't meet anybody that didn't like him. He had a smile that could just light up the world!"
That light was dimmed after police say Ryan and a group of friends, most of them underage, ventured down a dark winding stretch off Camelback Road for a fun night of drinking.
"Are you upset?" we asked mom.
"Yes. I'm real upset," she replied.
"What upsets you the most?" we asked.
"That someone was stupid enough to bring a gun," said Melinda. "And play stupid games."
"What was he playing with?" asked the 911 operator. "What kind of gun?
"It was a .22 pistol," said the caller.
"I'm just in shock," said Melinda. "He's not the type of person to do what they said happened, and I just don't understand."
Ryan's 9-year-old sister now wears her brother's wristwatch and dog tags.
"I'm just numb," said Melinda. "It was hard leaving the hospital, and knowing that he is never going to come home."
The family wanted us to note Ryan was an organ donor. The army reservist was planning to head to Egypt for training this year.
That memorial service is this Saturday at 4:30pm. It will be held at Goochland High School. That is located at 3250 River Road West.

The second fight we'll take a look at on the UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields fight card is Jason MacDonald vs. Ryan Jensen. This is a middleweight fight (185lbs) and will take place on the under card. It's not of huge importance and MacDonald's Canadian nationality in part is helping him to get a spot on the card. Still, it's a competitive affair and worth taking a deeper look into for clarity about the larger card.
MacDonald is a fantastic athlete, but doesn't possess brute strength and isn't necessarily the best endurance athlete. I wouldn't go as far as saying his cardio is lacking, but he's taken sufficient damage in his fights enough to say whatever reserves he does have they are often depleted less by distance and more by absorbing punishment. Notwithstanding, he possesses a dynamic guard and has notable submission wins over Chris Leben and Ed Herman. Both MacDonald and Jensen have a common loss in Wilson Gouveia.
My issue about MacDonald is that his best place to win the fight will be on top of Jensen, but that's going to be hard to achieve positionally. Jensen isn't the best wrestler in MMA, but he's capable particularly on the defensive end of the equation. He's also likely stronger than MacDonald and more savage in his aggression. That spells trouble for MacDonald, especially early.
Yet, Jensen isn't so technically sound that he's free from error on opponents he can physically and positionally control. Jensen's gas tank is somewhat of an issue as he starts strong and fades. From there he becomes defensively lax. If MacDonald can weather a storm he should be able to take advantage of a fatigued Jensen in the second or third round.
I tend to lean Jensen. Jensen is no Yushin Okami or Rich Franklin. He's not even a Nate Quarry, but I'm not sure he has to be to get the stoppage. The longer the fight goes the more that favors MacDonald, but I tend to think Jensen takes this through sheer force of will.

Canadians express their disappointment at disqualification
LONDON, England — Comments from Gavin SMELLIE, Oluseyi SMITH and Justyn WARNER (CAN) who were disqualified after finishing third in the men's 4x100 relay at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
Gavin SMELLIE
On being disqualified:
"I thought we had the medal. I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm really, really devastated and disappointed. I just don't know."
On thinking they had the bronze medal:
"That's what you work for, just to get the medal. To feel like that and then to have that moment taken away is really harsh."
Oluseyi SMITH
On being disqualified:
"I'm sure the team manager is doing something. We will have to wait and find out. I wasn't watching, I was running. On the outside, you shouldn't get disqualified."
Justyn WARNER
On being disqualified:
"I don't know what happened. We put everything into that and then it just showed up on the board. We ran a great race and we did everything. This is unfortunate. It sucks. Everyone dreams about getting a medal and we have just had one taken away. It's not any of our faults and we are proud of what we did. We had the job done."

Somerset (WQOW) - A man carrying two loaded guns was arrested near a western Wisconsin school Tuesday.
Crossing guards near the Somerset Middle School called police around noon. Officers found a 23-year-old man with an AR-15-style rifle slung across his back and a pistol in a holster on his hip. Police said both guns had high-capacity magazines and were loaded. Officers also said there were kids in the building at the time.
It's illegal to have guns within 1,000 feet of a school unless someone falls under certain exceptions, but police say the man refused to identify himself or state his intentions, saying only he was within his rights.
Police say because he wouldn't talk, they were unable to determine if he fell under one of the exceptions. He was then arrested for obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct. It will now be up to the district attorney whether charges are filed.

A North Dallas cell phone store was burglarized Monday night, where thieves took about $5,000 worth of iPads and cell phones. Store officials have since been able to track the location of the stolen phones via GPS to an apartment complex, but police can't help, leaving the store's regional manager frustrated and without a way to get the merchandise back.
Security cameras caught the thieves in action at a Sprint by United Cellular store, where at least six of them can be seen running through the store and grabbing the phones and iPads. They reportedly broke in by smashing a glass panel with a large rock.
"We're being told [police] can't do anything without a search warrant," said Michelle Wilder, the regional manager.
Wilder says three of the devices she's tracked are at an apartment complex that's less than 10 miles away from the store.
"Obviously, it's going to affect our business in a negative way because we can't sell a phone because you can't see it," said Wilder.
Unfortunately, she and store officials can only sit and watch their merchandise move around the Metroplex.
"It's very frustrating, because we'd love to obviously get a group of us together and knock on their door and say, 'Hey, guess what? Busted!'" said Wilder.
All of the stolen devices had been sitting out on display attached to a wire claw. One is left.

Though Ryan Briscoe won the pole — and did it by a closer margin than anyone in history — 23 other IndyCar drivers clinched their spots in next Sunday's Indianapolis 500, including some of racing's biggest names. Marco Andretti sits at fourth, Helio Castroneves at sixth, Tony Kanaan at eighth and Dario Franchitti is back in 16th. In all 24 drivers qualified on Saturday, leaving nine of the 33 total spots up for grabs on Sunday, better known as Bump Day.
Here's the full list of qualifiers and times, courtesy of IndyCar.com.
Among the drivers jockeying for those final spots in the world's most famous race will be Ed Carpenter, who was cleared to race after his violent Saturday crash, Bryan Clauson and Oriol Servia, who also crashed.

---- — ANDOVER — A Greater Lawrence Technical School administrator is under investigation and on leave from her job after she was falsely named the recipient of a national "Educator of the Year" award in a press release sent from the school.
The release sent by the school to The Eagle-Tribune last month stated Heidi Riccio of Salisbury, the school's director of career and technical education, was awarded "Educator of the Year" by the New York City-based nonprofit Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). The release was accompanied by a photo, included a quote from Riccio and stated she went to New York City April 23 to receive the award at the group's 25th annual gala dinner.
After the newspaper printed the item in its May 7 edition, both the school and NFTE contacted The Eagle-Tribune to say Riccio never received such honors. When a reporter called to speak with Riccio yesterday, the school's Human Resources Director Anne Marie Mahan said, "She's on leave."
GLTS Superintendent-Director John Lavoie refused to comment about the situation, saying "because of the legal situation, I really can't say anything yet." In a written statement, Lavoie wrote that the school confirmed Riccio did not receive the award and the matter is under investigation.
"As soon as the fact gathering process is complete, the school will take appropriate action," the statement reads.
Riccio did not return multiple phone messages seeking comment for this story. She has been with the school since 1997. Last year, she also became a consultant for former GLTS Superintendent Judy Ann DeLucia's firm Seaside Educational Consultants in Seabrook.
Riccio implemented Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship programs at GLTS six years ago, according to the release falsely announcing her Educator of the Year award.
"It was a great honor because the hard work to keep this program intact has paid off," Riccio said of the Educator of the Year honors in the release.
The school's communications specialist Liana Measmer, who sent the release to The Eagle-Tribune, declined to say where the incorrect information came from.
"I can't answer that question," said Measmer. "The lawyer told me I can't comment right now."
The newspaper was initially contacted about the fake release by Dori Wolfson, New England program director for NFTE, who said Riccio did not receive the award and wanted to know where the information came from.
When questioned Friday about the situation, Wolfson declined comment. She did forward a new press release naming the real "Educator of the Year" but did not directly mention the false information. She still praised Riccio.
The last paragrapgh of the Wolfson's press release said, "In addition, Heidi Riccio, Director of Career and Technology Education at Greater Lawrence Technical School (GLTS) in Andover, MA attended the gala as a guest in her role as a NFTE New England school administrator in strong support of the NFTE programs that have run successfully at her school for over six years."
The real recipient of the award, Chelsea High School teacher Catherine Doherty, said yesterday that Riccio was a guest speaker at the gala. Doherty said she had no knowledge of the controversial press release falsely giving Riccio her award.
"I was totally unaware of the mix-up," said Doherty.

I am wanting to buy a cub and have found two that I am looking at. One is a 1949 model with a 59 mower deck. The PTO will not engage and the owner said that there is a small metal ring just under the gear shifter that needs to be welded. He said that he fixed it several years ago the first time. I have no idea what he is talking about. It has been converted to 12 volt. Starts easy and drives in all gears. The price is $1200.
The second has the square grill, painted red, with the exhaust going under the tractor to the rear. It comes with a 42 inch IH mower. This one runs great and the owner uses it on a regular basis. It is still 6 volt. The price is $1800.
Does 6 or 12 volt make any difference and which mower deck would the tractor cut best with. This will be just a hobby for me.

Petition for Mother of God Monastery in Orangevill
Hegomen Angelos Saad Church of Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius 1245 Eglinton Ave. West, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5V 2M4 Dear Father Angelos Saad, We, the undersigned, were recently informed that your Coptic Orthodox Church is in the process of finalizing the purchase of The Mother of God Monastery in Orangeville, Ontario. As members of the Ukrainian Community, together with our families and many others, we are deeply moved and distraught at this very sad news. We join other members of the Ukrainian Community, who are convinced that this Holy ground, this Shrine has a priceless spiritual value beyond any material dollar price. We do not ask you to reconsider your purchase of the Monastery lands, but rather to consider that we, the many faithful, who rely on the spiritual guidance, gained from worshipping at the Monastery, will be spiritually poorer if we cannot use the Monastery facilities as we have used them in the past and continue to do so to date. Join us in our prayers, that a resolution can be found to this dilemma.

LOUGHTON/BUCKHURST HILL: Jack Straw recalls Epping Forest childhood in new memoirs (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Former foreign secretary Jack Straw recalls memories of his childhood in Buckhurst Hill and Loughton in autobiography
5:11pm Monday 1st October 2012 in News By Katie Bamber
FORMER Foreign Secretary Jack Straw sampled his first taste of political stardom on the front page of this newspaper in 1959, his newly-released memoirs reveal.
In Last Man Standing: Memories of a Political Survivor, Mr Straw tells of his childhood in Loughton - and of his media debut on the front cover of the West Essex Gazette, The Guardian's predecessor.
The budding politician, then a 13-year-old pupil of Brentwood School, had spent his summer holidays handing out pre-general election pamphlets for the local Labour Party in Debden and had been asked to make a speech at the group's election meeting.
"I was asked to supply a photograph for the paper. The only one we had was of me in my new straw boater," writes the MP for Blackburn.
"So there was young Straw, the budding socialist politician, on the front page, wearing one of the strongest symbols of privilege. It was yet another reminder of the two lives I led.
"I doubt the irony was lost on the readers of the West Essex Gazette."
The teenager's leafleting was in vain and Macmillan's Conservatives won the election - but Mr Straw has gone on to have a 33-year career in the Commons that has seen serve as Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Lord Chancellor.
Mr Straw was born in Buckhurst Hill in August 1946, one of five children. The family lived in a two-bedroomed flat in Victoria Road, before moving to Pyrles Lane, Debden, in 1952.
In his autobiography, released on Thursday (September 27), he writes: "Out went their dreams of their own house in a respectable neighbourhood.
"In came the reality of 101 Pyrles Lane, a three-bedroomed maisonette on the first and second floors of a block of flats on a new council estate at the wrong end of Loughton."
Encouraged by his mother Joan Ormston - who went on to serve on both Epping Forest district and Loughton town councils - and inspired by his great-great-grandfather, who fought against enclosure and helped secure the conservation of the forest, Mr Straw began to deliver Labour Party leaflets around the Debden Estate.
It was there, on a rainy afternoon in 1959, that he was inspired to embark on a career in politics: "As I looked up at our block, I decided that being an MP sounded a great deal easier as a way of serving the Labour Party than delivering its leaflets in the rain. I would be an MP too."
Mr Straw recounts his parents' unhappy marriage - including his father Arthur's suicide attempt in the Pyrles Lane maisonette in 1955.
The couple went on to divorce, much to the distress of the Reverend Johnson at Buckhurst Hill Congregational Church, which the family attended every Sunday.
The book also tells of Mr Straw's love for his 'childhood playground', Epping Forest, in which he played with classmates from Staples Road Primary School - and of the dangers that lurked within.
"The sloping playground was entirely concrete, so I learnt little in the way of cricket or football. There was no playing field. But there was, directly opposite, the forest," he writes.
"We were all under parental instructions never to go into the forest alone. There were as many, if not more, 'dirty old men' of all ages (now called paedophiles) lurking in the forest in those days as there are now.
"Such men were encountered by us, promising payment to go into the bushes with them. We'd tell them to push off, with fruity language if needs be."

UKIP-local says...
His fellow travellers have since then done their best and almost succeeded in destroying grammar schools. They want to make life for independent schools financially unviable. A fellow socialist tried to use the Charity Commission to impose heavy penalties on schools in pursuit of a class war.
The class war Straw has been engaged in seeks to deny to others of later generations the lucky break they themselves enjoyed.
As a student activist, Straw sought to bring down the economy which has paid for substantially all of his high salaries, perquisites of office and his tax payer guaranteed pensions.

Being a good right-winger, UKIP-local, will recall it was Margaret Thatcher as Education Secretary that started to convert Grammar Schools into Comprehensives – in fact she signed away more Grammar Schools between 1970 and 1974 than any other Education Secretary before or since!
Cornbeefur beat me to my comment! I too was going to comment: who could believe that this boy from such a humble background would go on to be part of the Government that introduced university tuition fees and launched an illegal invasion of Iraq!

I am sad that Mr Straw feels that Debden was so beneath his family. Many families not a fortunate at the Straws were delighted to be given a home on the Debden Estate. In fact his Mother, when she was Mrs Straw, was my Nursery school teacher at Thomas Willingale School. I cannot believe a politician, whose party is said to represent the common man, the working class people, can speak of the area in this way.
Out goes many labour votes !

Mold Rite's EZ-Grip and EZ-Safe
The world is designed for the average person. The average person, though, is a mature adult in relatively good health. The largest two groups that do not fall into this category are seniors and children, both of which have specific limitations when it comes to interacting with product packaging. For seniors, reduced dexterity is often an issue with regard to getting to a product whereas with children, the opposite is true, their access needs to be limited, especially with regard to medications. This is the primary motivation behind Mold Rite Plastics' release of the EZ-Grip and EZ-Safe closure family.

MILAN (AP) -- The baroque hall replete with gilded accents, tapestries and a frescoed ceiling hinted at the richness to come.
Bejeweled and regal, the womenswear collection presented Sunday by Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi recalled the royal courts of centuries past with an emphasis on gold-laced brocade and iridescent velvet.
The pair stayed close to their architectural style, building their dresses and tops out of panels in a sort of triptych -- back, front and sides -- that allowed them to mix textiles and colors.
The tops often resembled bustiers, and finished in short bubble skirts.
Here, as elsewhere on the Milan runways, the slim cropped pant was a mainstay, paired with swing coats with large shoulders, or double-breasted knee-length jackets, for a contrasting silhouette.
Fittingly, their color palette bears the name of jewels: ruby, emerald, sapphire, along with citrine, topaz and turquoise.
The pair let their imaginations run wild when it came to decorating the collection.
Tiny wisps of feathers covered a cocktail dress with sequined flowers -- everything in black. Stiff golden bows graced the back of a coat, the sides of a dress. Beaded Byzantine crosses ran down the sides of a short dress.
The shoes also reflected the level of detail the designers put in. Velvet pumps and knee boots had large bows on the back, while brocade booties had velvet tips and silk ribbons.

Would it surprise you to know that, right this second, the Florida Panthers are a better possession team than the Montreal Canadiens?
The Florida Panthers, the same ones that are currently second last in the East and ten points back of playoff spot, have actually outperformed the Montreal Canadiens in terms of 5-on-5 hockey in close games. So, why are the Habs fighting for the top spot in the Conference, while Florida wallows in the basement? To get an answer, let's rewind a couple of seasons.
In the 2011-12 NHL season, the Cats qualified for the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Their roster, featuring players like goaltender Jose Theodore, centre Stephen Weiss, and defenceman Brian Campbell, took the New Jersey Devils to double overtime of game seven of their opening round series before bowing out. While the loss was disappointing, the inherent progress represented a significant milestone for a team that was struggling back to relevancy.
In the lockout-shortened 2013 season, the Panthers kept most of their roster intact, re-upping key cog Kris Versteeg and even adding Alex Kovalev for some extra scoring punch. Visions of returning to the playoffs vanished quickly, however, as the punchless Cats went from over-performing division leaders to under-performing bottom-dwellers.
The Panthers made some adjustments, mostly to bring some stability to their goaltending situation and unburden themselves of any dead weight skaters. Versteeg, for example, was long gone by that point, as was the failed Kovalev experiment. While winger Scottie Upshall remains in his prominent role, but former colleagues like Weiss are now playing elsewhere. His linemates are now talented young players, Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad. Sean Bergenheim, a member of that Florida playoff team and a one-time playoff hero with the Tampa Bay Lightning, plays on a third line with 2nd overall pick rookie centre Aleksander Barkov. This is a team full of up-and-comers, so why are they placing so poorly?
For the third consecutive season, the Panthers just can't buy a goal. Despite their decent possession play, the Panthers just aren't converting, with a team shooting percentage of 5%. Habs fans may remember the team's struggles earlier this season, when it felt like Montreal was just never scoring. That performance, if memory serves, occurred with the team at around 6.5%. Given the consistency of Florida's shooting performance, which has been similar for three consecutive seasons, it seems possible that some of this may be roster or systems-based. Given the turnover of the roster and influx of new talent, however, it's more likely that Florida's scoring is due to for an uptick.
As for their goaltending situation, it appears that Tim Thomas has brought as much stability in the Florida crease as he brings to his encounters with the media. Thomas has a .909 save percentage and a record just under .500, and is allowing almost three goals per game. The Canadiens appear set to miss an encounter with their old Boston adversary, though, as Thomas has recently been placed on the injured reserve. If Thomas has been unstable, Scott Clemmensen's 2013-14 play has been brutal. Having made only four starts, plus some fractional time in two other games, Clemmensen has allowed sixteen goals on only about 26 shots per 60 minutes. The Panthers goaltending situation appears to be doing a lot to undermine their strong even-strength work.
Our final area of focus is special teams, where the Panthers are last and third-to-last in their powerplay and penalty kill results, respectively. This effectively makes them the opposite of the Habs recent struggles, as they've become a team that plays well at evens, gets no timely scoring, is awful on special teams, and can't rely on their goaltender.
On paper, the Habs should have a winnable game, but the fickle nature of the percentages means that Florida can't be underestimated. Their respectable even strength play is the foundation of a good squad, and if the Cats receive a good goaltending performance, or back their way into a powerplay goal, they have enough ammunition to hold off the Habs. While anything can happen in any NHL game, the Panthers seem like better-than-average candidates to make that anything something the Habs won't like.
For game-day coverage from Sunny Florida (it's actually rainy and overcast today; I checked), as well all ten rounds of a recent shootout in the Cats beat out the Caps, head over to Litter Box Cats.

Lighting up the largest stage in Quebec is no easy feat. Doing it on a restricted budget while dealing with complex technical constraints is a real tour de force.
Lightemotion took on the challenge and succeeded brilliantly, creating the lighting for AO The Fantastic Legend, the new and grandiose show presented in an open-air theatre in Drummondville, Canada.
AO is a show that brings 75 artists, actors, singers, acrobats, dancers, and musicians together on stage for a spectacular production, featuring a feast of pyrotechnical elements, water features, and multimedia projections. AO evolved from the Les Lﺣ۸gendes Fantastiques, an annual performance that has been running to great acclaim in Drummondville for over 10 years.
After an immensely successful first decade, the time had come to give new vision to Les Lﺣ۸gendes Fantastiques. Its creator, the visual designer ﺣric Villeneuve, who also designed the magnificent Cavalia show, called upon Lightemotion to provide an inspired contribution to this complex project. Having already collaborated with Franﺣ۶ois Roupinian and his team before, Villeneuve recognized Lightemotionﻗs ability to take on the many technical and artistic challenges posed by this spectacular multimedia show.
Closely involved in the showﻗs conception from the beginning, the Lightemotion team found ways to marry architectural and stage lighting techniques for an outdoor show that must go onﻗrain or shine. The artistic concept of the production resembles a circus show. But, with a conservative budget the lighting designers had to come up with lighting that was innovative as well as affordable.
One of the most difficult challenges the show presented was the lack of control of ambient lighting. Being outdoors meant that Roupinian and his team had to grapple with a variable not usually a factor in the theatreﻗan environment that changes with the seasons and climate conditions. This concern involved the use of specific lighting equipment, custom-made to withstand inclement conditions. Careful planning was required to strategically place the equipment, ensuring durability and the safety of both actors and spectators.
A second challenge faced by the team was the lack of traditional anchor points. The show was designed to take advantage of the splendid surrounding landscape, incorporating a small forest and the Saint-Franﺣ۶ois river backstage. It was out of the question to block the audienceﻗs field of vision with lighting equipment. So Lightemotion decided on side and ground (frontal) lighting, without "shower" lights or FOH.
Moreover, with special effects on a grand scale (blazing decors, flooding the set, etc.), it was necessary to keep the stage space as open as possible, i.e. without lighting elements that could conflict with water discharge (the set includes a screen and a basin of water), the presence of flammable substances or animals.
Minimal side lighting was used due to budgetary constraints, but when necessary robotized projectors (moving lights), provided a variety of lighting effects and multiple focal points.
On the ground, LED sources were placed in custom-made protective casings, making it possible to create effects with several colors and textures. In addition, many hybrid lighting sources (halogen and MR16) were concealed throughout the set. For example, stroboscopic projectors were installed at the ends of the branches of AO, the gigantic Tree of Life that stands 40 feet high. Finally, to create atmospheres suitable for more intimate scenes, the lighting artists had approach ramps integrated with the set. Robotic light sources were skillfully concealed on the ramps, making it possible to bring the lighting sources closer to the actors and allowing multiple lighting positions.
Beyond the technical aspect, Lightemotionﻗs contribution is also apparent in the physical and more architectural elements of the show. Involved in the conception process from the beginning, the Lightemotion team attended weekly production meetings and closely followed script and set developments. This resulted in a show in which the writing, the music, the set, and the lighting are integrated in a harmonious whole, making AO La Lﺣ۸gende Fantastique a truly fantastic legend.

How to find the best tea kettle:
A wonderful cup of tea can soothe the soul. Tea is something that can bring your sore throat comfort or warm you up on a cool evening. Whether you are a connoisseur of teas or you just enjoy have a cup every now and then, there are a variety of tea kettles to choose from. There are two basic types of tea kettles to choose from, electric and stovetop, but there are many different options within these two types, as well
Electric kettles
This type of tea kettle goes back to the 1800's and was manufactured mostly from steel or aluminum. Some heat resistant plastics were also used, but the steel produced a higher quality product and eventually, the aluminum proved to be not as durable. The electric tea kettles made now are more efficient than stovetop kettles in the fact that they boil water much quicker. But they take up coveted counter space where the stovetop tea kettle does not
Electric Kettles
A newer version of the electric tea kettle, the cordless kettle, has a base that holds the electrical connection that allows the kettle to heat. There are some cordless kettles that have a removable base to be able to convert to a stovetop kettle if needed. These kettles are easy to clean and have wide, no-spill spouts
Cordless Electric Kettle
Stovetop tea kettles
This type of tea kettle is manufactured from many different materials and there are many more types of stovetop kettles than electric. These include stainless steel, copper, cast iron, enamel and novelty
Stovetop Kettles
Stainless steel kettles are the most hard-wearing and are extremely functional, as well as beautiful. The stainless steel kettle will not "tarnish" the taste of the water you are preparing at all, but because of the thickness of the steel, it will take longer for your water to boil
Copper kettles are chosen a lot for their "Old World" look, but it should also be known that copper is very energy efficient. Because copper should not be placed over high heat, you will more than likely use a medium heat to prepare your water, thus saving energy. Also, copper is a great conductor of heat and this will save time on preparing your water
Cast iron is very heavy and thick and will probably last the longest. An important tip about cast iron is that until it becomes "seasoned" there is a risk for rust. Once it has been used many times, it will develop mineral deposits that will then prevent it from rusting. In the meantime, while you are waiting for it to become seasoned, be sure to dry this kettle immediately after you use it. If it does happen to rust, not all is lost. A mixture of lemon, baking soda and boiling water can remove the rust
Enamel kettles are among the most popular because they are available in many different colors. The enamel will likely just be a coat over a cast iron kettle, so in that instance, be sure to dry this kettle immediately after use, as well. As with any other enamel object, this type of kettle can chip, so be very careful when around other hard objects
If you are more interested in the shape of your kettle matching your décor rather than just the paint, a novelty tea kettle will be perfect for you. The practicality of some of these kettles may not be as great as some others, but they can be the "finishing touch" to your kitchen and will be a great topic of conversation
Features of kettles
By having some features (and a budget) in mind before you start shopping, your choice will be made much easier. Some of the main features you will want to consider are: size, whistle, design, heat efficiency and maintenance
The average size for tea kettles ranges from 1.8-2.5 quarts. This is important to consider because the 1.8 quart size may be too small if you like to entertain, but the 2.5 quart size may be too large if you are the only tea drinker in your family
Whistling kettles
The whistle on a tea kettle is there to let you know when the water has reached the desired temperature for preparing the tea. Some consumers find the whistle to be a very nice feature to alert them in the event they get busy with other things. On the other hand, some consumers find the whistle to be a very annoying feature and don't want to hear the high-pitched whistle when preparing to relax with their tea. If you are torn and like the convenience of the whistle but hate the shrill sound, look for a tea kettle that offers a whistle that might play a song or sound like a harmonica playing
Package Included:
- 1 x Electric Water Kettle

Benet's Sean O'Mara looks to the hoop with Young's Jahlil Okafor defending. | Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
Manley's Russell Cross and Thornwood's Eddy Curry are the gold standards for Chicago area big men in the past two generations.
Add a new name to the list.
Young junior Jahlil Okafor dazzled the crowd at House of Hope Saturday in the top-ranked Dolphins' 61-46 win over No. 7 Benet.
He scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds, but simple numbers can't come close to representing Okafor's performance.
The 6-11 center was matched up against Benet's 6-9 Sean O'Mara. It was supposed to be a chance to see what Okafor could do against an opponent nearly his size. Instead, it was a showcase for Okafor's seemingly limitless array of post moves.
"This is actually the church I attend," Okafor said of the building the game was played in. "I was hoping I would have a good game here. It was really weird when I walked in and saw the court."
O'Mara managed 10 points and five rebounds against Okafor.
"I watched some of his highlights on film," Okafor said. "I realized a lot of his shots he likes to fade away on. I tried to use my body and use my length to stop that."
The Dolphins (24-3) took control of the game with an 11-2 first quarter run and never looked back.
"The chances of us seeing a team better than them in the playoffs is slim," Benet's Pat McInerney said. "The only way would be if we played them again in Peoria."
Junior Miles Reynolds scored 13 and LJ Peak added 11 points and four steals for the Dolphins.
"[Okafor] is so big and strong and skilled," Benet coach Gene Heidkamp said. "He's obviously the real deal. He's as good a post player as I've seen in my 20 years coaching."
McInerney scored eight and Colin Bonnett and Eddie Eshoo each scored six for Benet (23-5).
Young played the majority of its games out of state this season, then returned to Chicago and lost to Simeon and Orr. They've been on a major roll since then, winning the city championship and claiming the top spot in the rankings.
"When we came back to Chicago that was the first time we've seen the zone all year," Young coach Tyrone Slaughter said. "The better teams across the country don't play zone."
O'Mara was a good sport throughout the game, and remained classy at the end.
"I can learn from playing [Okafor]," O'Mara said. "He's the best player in the nation. It's always going to make you better."
