More U.S.-based meeting professionals are beginning to recognize the potential to engage new audience members across the Asia-Pacific region. However, many of those planners may feel overwhelmed about mastering new languages and understanding new cultural norms to attract new attendees. If you fall into that category, here's a quick glimpse into how tourism officials in Kuala Lumpur helped ease those worries at the Women Deliver 2013 Conference.

Held in Kuala Lumpur from May 28 - May 30 May, the conference united more than 4,500 participants from 149 countries to focus on women's health and empowerment. As the host venue, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre was determined to ensure the event's success from the onset.
"Groundwork began some 18 months prior to the event proper," Alan Pryor, general manager, Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, says. "Besides teleconferences and meetings with the client, countless inter-departmental meetings were held to go over details for all aspects of the conference. This pre-planning was crucial to minimize challenges and avoid setbacks during the conference itself".

With so many countries represented at the conference, Pryor and the convention center staff made one priority very clear: they had to please a lot of different sets of taste buds and meet quite the range of dietary restrictions. Still, they wanted to introduce all those attendees to the authentic flavors of Malaysia. Led by Executive Chef Richmond Lim, the culinary team spent months brainstorming for seamless logistics for 41 breakfast sessions and 28 cocktail receptions in various locations.
The solution: a combination of booth catering and standing lunches with pre-packed lunch boxes of a main course, salad and greens, dessert and muesli bar and apples on-the-go. "Our kitchens were kept busy preparing over 6,800 lunch boxes during the course of the conference, in addition to a standing buffet for another 1,800 pax daily at the exhibition halls," Lim says.
SEE ALSO: Understanding the Global Market
Besides the main conference, there were more than 100 concurrent and back-to-back meetings, partner programs, plenary sessions and receptions, all held in the same area.
"We had everyone; full-time team members as well as our pool of regular casual labor, pitching in to ensure that everything ran smoothly and on schedule, both back and front of house. With so much to do and the adrenaline pumping, we didn't really notice we were working almost around the clock. In fact, the challenges made the successful delivery of the entire event all the more rewarding," Pryor says.
All that work paid off in the form of rave client reviews.
"Many thanks to the entire staff of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre! It was the perfect venue for our meeting," Jill Sheffield, President, Women Deliver, says.
Other planners have already been taking a very close look at Malaysia. The Toastmaster International World Convention will be held in Kuala Lumpur in 2014.

If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?
When the big bang happened where did it occur?
When the big bang happened how did it occur?
Where did the energy come from? Energy can not be created or destroyed does that mean, energy has existed before the universe was here?
There are much better people to answer this question, but I will answer it from the point of view of an experimental particle physicist, the way I have filed this knowledge in my head.
First of all the big bang is a particular solution within the theory of general relativity, which treats gravity as a deformation of space time around massive bodies.
This theory differs from the Newtonian and special relativity world we have explored and are familiar with. For these we have definitions of energy and also conservation of energy.
In the general relativity framework there exists energy but the concept of conservation of energy is not valid. Energy can appear according to the appropriate equations. General relativity is necessary in the description of observations of large dimensions in space and time and very massive bodies.
So the big bang in this theory happens from one point, as an explosion as shown in the links I gave you. All points in our universe are this point. Practically metaphysical but true. So there is no meaning on "what it is expanding to".
A useful for me analogy is the surface of a balloon. Our universe, in smaller dimensions, is like the surface of an expanding balloon. All points on the surface are receding from each other and as far as the surface is concerned, it just expands. Others like the analogy of a cake with fruit interspersed. As it rises in the oven each piece of fruit recedes from the others and if we could think that all of it could be originating from a point, all points in the expanded cake would be the beginning point.
As for when the big bang happened, read the links I gave you.Astronomy has measured this.
Your assumption that there has to be something before, after, outside or even in between, some sequence of events, while natural to classical Physics, is not necessary. Google for "Lucretius arrow "edge of the universe"" finds various web references, none of which I particularly want to cite, to the fact that Lucretius asked what happens at the edge of the universe around 100BC. With various similar search terms, Google leads to various Philosophical forums that have had similar Questions asked.
Your Question also has slight similarity to the ancient Zeno's paradox of the Arrow.
AFAIK, there is no settled Answer to this. It's often convenient in mathematics to assume that there's a continuum, and such models can be quite effective, but there's no necessity. Taking things to be without end, infinite, in endless ascents or descents, etc., while often useful, also requires care when constructing mathematical models, because without care things can end up being badly defined.
To step into the detailed Question you put, you are asking about before, after, and outside what we can confidently infer from fitting experimental data to models of current physical theory. There does not have to be anything at all there. A different possibility, perhaps equally disconcerting, is that we may be using models of the scientific theories that we find to be very accurately consistent close to Earth and the Sun in a domain in which the the experimental data does not fit any single consistent model. In particular, there is no guarantee that there is a consistent atlas of the big bang (and yes, for those who know of these things, I also mean this technically, as of a manifold).
I fear that this is rather general, but insofar as I see the Question blows Philosophical so blow I.
Energy conservation is funny with general relativity. To have a conservation law you need something which is a constant of the motion. In the case of energy in spacetime this requires there be a Killing vector that is constant along all timelike geodesics. This isometry is what defines the conservation of energy. Spacetime metrics for cosmologies do not admit a Killing vector which is constant along timelike geodesics.
The universe expands as a manifold. The spacetime is foliated by spatial surfaces, where points on that surface increase their distance along the time direction of the foliation. If the universe is flat these spatial surfaces are just $R^3$ spaces, and the curvature of spacetime is defined by their extrinsic curvature in the space plus time = spacetime. The universe is not particularly expanding into anything outside of itself.
Only a physics undergrad here, so I only know of this stuff cause ive done a bit of extra reading, perfectly possible that I misunderstood it. But you can "create" energy/matter, the catch being that you must also make a matching amount of anti matter/energy, resulting in a net gain of 0 energy/matter. Something I saw before I learned this that kind of started my understanding of it was this video on Hawking radiation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6srN4idq1E
If I understood the reading correctly, this is a possible mechanism of creating the universe (particle/anti particle mechanism). This apparently happens all the time in Quantum Mechanics, but on a much smaller scale, and apparently the only way to use this effect to create something that lasts more then a fraction of a second is to have it create a universe worth of matter/energy and matching anti matter/energy. What makes this so hard to get a definite understanding is the fact that you have to apply general relativity as well as Quantum field theory, and the 2 can sometimes disagree (I don't have enough understanding of either to say exactly what the disagreement is, I just know there is apparently one)

Parents again push for smaller class sizes in Pleasanton schools
Original post made on Apr 18, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, April 18, 2013, 7:41 AM
on Apr 18, 2013 at 8:55 am
The voters need to have an uprising and pare the administration significantly (bodies, pay, benefits, retirement), get rid of the stupid crap like teacher's teachers, and recall a couple of the twits on the school board. If that's done, it will give some needed class size reduction. Speaking of twits, the PUSD Superintendent was a really bad hire, she's another twit, and she needs to go.
on Apr 18, 2013 at 1:00 pm
A few questions:
1 The additional $78,000 from PPIE. I know people had the options to give to PPIE for CSR but I do not recall being told that the money I gave would all then be used for CSR. So if you gave on-line your money is just going to CSR.
2 Have you spoken to the teachers and the impact on 2nd and 3rd grader if there are no more staggered school start times and the impact on the reading programs? Will staggered school start times go away if we have CSR?
3 What is the plan for next year to fund CSR?
4 I have been told the PPIE board has been taken over by parents pushing CSR?
Yes CRS is a good thing and likely need but I do not see a plan. I did not see one teacher get up and speak. I under stand the parents and way but it seem like a few are only doing what is best for there kids this year and not PUSD
on Apr 18, 2013 at 2:48 pm
There are a lot of studies out there show that class size reduction in K-3 improves student outcomes. This is why back in 1996, when California politicians did a better job in supporting/funding education - they spent billions to reduce class size for these grades to 20 to 1.
However, studies about the teacher trainers are nebulous at best - and are really the most impactful when focused on struggling, under-performing school districts, not one like Pleasanton.
And to my knowledge, no studies have been done showing a causal relationship between administrative ratios and administrative compensation and positive student outcomes.
Our great Pleasanton schools are part of our "brand" - which is a "premium brand" - when comparing us to surrounding towns in the Tri-Valley, Greater East Bay, and Bay Area in general. But bad leadership on the school board and their bad decisions can sour or even damage that brand. I think a lot of people move to Pleasanton based on the schools' brand, and things have historically gone well, so they're content to be blissfully unaware of the workings of the school board. Which explains why all incumbent school board members remained unchallenged in last year's election. But the decisions they're making and the direction they are going seems to be contrary to common sense and the will of the parents of school-aged children.
I think more people are slowly becoming aware of this and voicing their opinion which is a good thing.

How does New Chapter ensure the quality, purity and potency of their products?
New Chapter's Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Regulatory Compliance team have over 47 years combined experience divided equally between New Chapter and related industry experience. From Paul Schulick, New Chapter's Founder & Chairman, down through the organization, all New Chapter Associates share in their commitment to quality. New Chapter requires that all lots of raw materials used for the manufacture of their products are tested for potency markers, heavy metal contamination and/or microbiological content. New Chapter's co-processors forward this information on a Certificate of Analysis for their approval prior to use or shipping. They randomly verify information contained on C of A's through third-party laboratory analysis. New Chapter does finished product testing on weights, potency, marker assays, micro and heavy metals.

New Chapter cannot provide information about combining prescription medicines with herbal or nutritional supplements. New Chapter suggests you always advise your prescribing physician or pharmacist about the use of dietary or herbal supplements. Only he or she can determine the risk for herb-drug interactions and supervise your response to the prescribed therapy. You may also want to consider consulting a qualified expert in herbal and nutritional therapy on this matter. While herbal medicine has experienced a long history of safe use, this history has not included many of the modern pharmaceutical medications that are frequently used today. By making your health care provider aware of your supplement regimen, you are protecting yourself from any known potential interactions and allowing for any future information on this topic to come to light.
Are all of their products organic?

About New Chapter
Seeking a livelihood that reflected their deeply held commitment to natural living, New Chapter founders Paul and Barbi Schulick began their career in the natural health products industry in 1979 with the purchase of Mother Earth, a small natural foods store in Lexington, Massachusetts. A dedication to healing, inspired by his physician father, led Paul to a love of herbs and a passion to learn all he could.
While still at the store, Paul enrolled in Dr. John Christopher's School of Natural Healing.
After graduation, Paul developed a line of organically herbal formulas called New Moon Extracts, produced according to traditional methods in harmony with lunar cycles. New Moon Extracts was one of the first herbal product lines of its time.
Paul's frustration over the dominance of USP (United States Pharmacopeial Convention) chemically isolated vitamin-mineral lines inspired him to produce a food-cultured alternative that honored the sustaining power of herbs. The resulting products started a new chapter in natural health products and inspired both the company's name and its commitment to produce products that were innovations in their category. In 1986 Paul and Barbi sold their store and moved to Brattleboro, Vermont, to nurture their new company.

I first published my writing website, Monica's Expresso Cafe, in 1995. In recent years I have included my photography and a "kitchen", where I cook up some of my original/family recipes. This book is dedicated to those "art forms" of writing, photography and cooking! It is a treasury of photos, poetry, recipes and declares the importance of family heritage with memories and anecdotes.
From Thy Bounty is my offering to you, in the hope that you might discover the fun and excitement of being creative, as I have. Cooking—as sure as painting, sculpture, writing, music—is most certainly an art form, and definitely not a static art! Recipes and methods of cooking a particular food are constantly changing and being reinvented. That's how we get our prized family favorites. But it is not only from eating, but in the breaking of bread with another that we receive our comfort and satisfaction in the gift of food.
The recipes in this book are all family recipes and some go back many, many years. They have been tweaked and "doctored", changing over the years, but they remain cherished additions at family functions, and a reminder of our constant growth. One thing remains: food should be shared to gain its full value.
I invite you to try the recipes contained herein and share them with your loved ones, and as my family does (including all my children!), add this, take away that and make each recipe your own. The rewards will be much more than a full stomach. Do not be afraid to cook—many "happy accidents" have become new family favorites. Cooking is fun, relaxing, very rewarding and very artistic; and it gives a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Peace, and GO FORTH AND CREATE!

A community is using social media to rally around a 13-year-old bullying victim in Gallatin. Mike and Kim Woods told Nashville's News 2 they have made the decision to keep their son, Bryson, home from school since he was slapped in the back of his neck, and had his pencils and money stolen at Joseph E. Shafer Middle School.
"We can't send him to school and feel like he is safe," explained Kim Woods, adding, "School should be a happy place, not a fearful place." The Woods told Nashville's News 2 they have tried to address the bullying issue with the school's principal and school district. "The principal told us, with Bryson in the room, that he had just best get used to bullying because it even happens in the work force so we need to get used to it," Woods said. Woods also said the principal's solution was to place Bryson in a special education classroom.Since Bryson's story aired on Nashville's News 2 on Friday, the Woods said the community immediately began rallying behind their son by making "Team Bryson" t-shirts and posting them on Bryson's Facebook page. "It has just been unreal, unreal in a good way," said Kim. "We've went from sad tears to happy tears."Bryson added, "It is awesome and it is unbelievable that all those people are supporting me." Kim also said she has received dozens of emails, text messages and voicemails from people sharing similar stories about bullying in Sumner County schools. The Woods' family has hired an attorney and said they will now stand and fight to make the difference for their son and other bullying victims. "If we do not protect our children no one else will," Kim said. The family added, according to the Sumner County student handbook it states the district has a zero tolerance policy against bullying; however the Woods say that policy is not being enforced. Monday night school officials released a statement regarding the incident which read, in part, "Shafer Middle School administrators have conducted a thorough investigation into the incident and are working with the Woods family to address any issues." The statement went on to say the school system does not discuss in detail reports of bullying or disclose student disciplinary actions and that they take bullying very seriously. Previous Story:

FogScreen, Inc. — Interactive FogScreen
FogScreen Inc. released its new interactive fog screen, the world's first airborne interactive touchscreen developed from FogScreen's airborne projection screen. When you write or draw upon the interactive fog screen, the writing or designs continuously float in the air. Interactive, airborne projection screens will find many uses within the entertainment industry. Because fog screens are unbreakable, they are especially useful in applications intended for the public. The FogScreen airborne projection screen was developed at Finland's Tampere University of Technology. The screen is based on new technology that makes it feasible to create a flat and thin layer of fog that can be used for simultaneous high-quality image projection and walk-through. The fog screen, made exclusively from ordinary water, feels dry and cool to the touch and can be used for extended periods of time. The technology has international patents pending.

Doug Fleenor Design — DMX96OC
The DMX96OC decodes 96 consecutive DMX512 channels to open-collector NPN outputs. Each of the outputs is capable of sinking up to 100mA (or more based on duty cycle). This is ideal for driving solenoids, relays, or LEDs for fountains or special effects. An "output common" terminal block is provided for high current loads. The DMX512 input is optically isolated from the outputs and is protected against mis-wiring up to 120V.

Soft LED™ Backdrops
I. Weiss introduces Soft-LED Backdrops, a product manufactured and developed by Mainlight Industries and powered by Color Kinetics' technology. SOFT LED™ is a combination of tri-color LED-technology and high quality black fabric drop. It allows an infinite number of shapes, patterns, colors, and complicated light shows in one backdrop. Soft-LED backdrops are lightweight and flexible, fabricated much like fiber optic curtains, except the face fabric used is inherently flame retardant and virtually wrinkle-free. Each standard drop has a removable liner and can be hung vertically or horizontally. The face fabric is made from 22-oz IFR Black Encore; removable liner is IFR Black Avora; and there are hidden ties on all four sides. Each backdrop contains a grid of LED-nodes interlaced with thin, flexible wire cable. A quarter-sized washer, affixed to the back of the face fabric, contains each node. From the front, the visible part of the node is smaller than a dime. The nodes, comparable to pixels in image quality, contain a red, green, and blue diode, each individually controllable for an almost unlimited color palette. The tighter the spacing of the nodes, the higher the resolution of the image, the closer the viewer can get to the drop without the image "separating." All drops are designed to maintain node alignment when multiple panels are hung side-by-side, preventing skewed images. The backdrop can be used with a standard fiber optic star spread for added depth and effect or dual purposes. Illuminators and hardware components are required.

No crowds here! Luckily, the monster approach hike is made up for by a great climb. Expect a few crusty bits of rock, some lichen here and there, and little sign of previous traffic. This must be how Redgarden Wall felt back around the mid sixties. Start on the far right of the crag. The ground around here is covered in holes made by some rodents or something. Spooky, especially as it is so quiet, far from the Eldo crowds. I was half expecting a swarm of rats or marmots to suddenly emerge. The first pitch is apparent by the rusty old bolts (though these are not easy to spot) which are further right than I was expecting, in fact hard up against the gully to the right (You can avoid this slab on the right). Step backwards a ways to see the very obvious second pitch up above, a fine looking steep crack up the southwest prow. The first pitch is thin low-angle smearing. A litle scary, but if the bolts ever get replaced it will feel much safer. This slab leads to a steeper face/scoop. Zigzag up this awkwardly (Aliens in a horizontal) and up into an obvious large left-facing easy dihedral. Romp up this and stem right past a bush to the big belay ledge on the prow. Pitch two tackles the crack looming overhead. This starts out way steep straight off the big ledge ("5.9+", strenuous gear placements, and obviously a bad place to fall and twist an ankle), but soon gets easier. After a short stretch of real easy groove, the pitch starts to steepen up again and a long stretch of sustained 5.9 Eldo finessing up a cool and exposed crack/face system takes you to a welcome ledge. Belay here, and do a final short easy pitch to the summit. The descent is awkward, head down behind to a ledge system with a large tree, (this is awkward 3rd/4th class) then meander to the south down a steep gully to the base.
Crux of pitch 1 has two bolts. These are are rusty 1/4 inch relics that look like they were brought over by Columbus, in a water streaked black face. Ugh! Upper pitch requires a standard Eldo rack.

The Flaming Lips have released a new video for "Ashes in the Air," a track from the band's 2012 collaboration album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends , which features Bon Iver .
The trippy four-minute video , which is definitely not safe for viewing at work, focuses on a one-eyed astronaut who carries a baby -- which features the face of Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon -- through an apocalyptic world. Along their travels together, the two come across various groups of naked people who are mourning the loss of friends whose brains have been violently ripped out of their heads. The clip ends with the astronaut returning to his spaceship and feeding the Vernon-faced baby into a meat grinder.
In other Lips news, the band will release their 13th studio album, The Terror , on April 16.
