Center Stage: Purduettes at Purdue Scholars Day
Saturday, January 15, 2011
The Purduettes were very excited to start their Spring semester by performing at Purdue Scholars Day. The event was for potential incoming Purdue students who showed outstanding acheivements in academics. For some students this event was their first glimpse of Purdue.
First Altos Audrey Bengert and Brittany Cruz dazzle during the dramatic Purduette number "It's Today/Tonight."
"Hoorah and hallelujah!" The girls show off their mischevious side in the song "Goody Goody."
The Alto section use their jazziest moves to light up the stage.
The Soprano section belt it out for the audience.
Purduette Director Jeff Vallier leaves the stage in order to let the Purduettes engage with the audience.
Junior Rachelle Buuck leads the Purduettes in their final pose for "Goody Goody." During their set the ladies had a chance to meet some of these students and had so much fun performing for them! Hopefully we'll see these students again as Boilermakers!

Although unseasonable weather and unrelenting markdown pressures took their toll on retailers' profits during the second quarter, the first smattering of earnings results for the period indicated things could have been worse.
J.C. Penney Co. managed to break even after a year-ago loss despite difficulties at its Eckerd drugstore division, but write-offs for store closures at Lord & Taylor sent May Department Stores deeply into the red. The TJX Cos. was unable to match its year-ago profit performance, but Abercrombie & Fitch managed a double-digit increase in net income despite a drop in comparable-store sales.
A nearly universal theme sounded by stores Tuesday was a feeling that sales at the start of the third quarter had been markedly stronger than those that preceded them, as the dog days of summer arrived along with fall and back-to-school shipments.
Tax rebates and a careful balance between basics and fashion have J.C. Penney Co. feeling bullish about the back-to-school shopping season after the firm trimmed its second-quarter loss beyond Wall Street's forecast.
While Penney's department stores and catalog business more than doubled its operating profits, earnings erosion at Eckerd drugstores dragged down overall results.
For the three months ended July 26, the Plano, Tex.-based national chain said bottom-line results broke even in dollars and registered a loss of 2 cents a diluted share. That beat the Wall Street consensus estimate by 3 cents, and was an improvement over last year's loss of $6 million, or 5 cents.
Operating income at the department stores and catalog business shot up 131.8 percent to $51 million from $22 million a year ago, but the Eckerd division took a chunk of that back, as operating profits plunged by more than a quarter, or 26 percent, to $54 million from $73 million last year.
Consolidated sales ticked up 1.6 percent to $7.31 billion from $7.2 billion a year ago. Department stores and catalog sales rose 1 percent to $3.66 billion versus $3.62 billion, which was outpaced by net sales at Eckerd where revenues grew 2.3 percent to $3.66 billion from $3.58 billion. Comparable-store sales, however, were another matter, as a 2.1 percent bump at the department stores was partially offset by a 0.8 percent drop at the drugstore chain.

Richard Nicoll's Bridal Line For Topshop Hits Stores in June
Designer Richard Nicoll casually dabbles in wedding wear by creating gowns for his friends (you can see them on his blog here, and here) and now he's making things official with a bridal collection for Topshop. British Vogue reports that the line lands in stores this June and will include the British designer's "signature sculptural shapes and feminine fabrics."
Images haven't been released yet, but based on the covetable pieces Mary Katrantzou created for the retailer last winter, we think the selection will be of good quality. And while we don't expect the gowns to be cheap (Topshop's high end clothing often runs in the several hundred dollar range) they will probably be super-affordable compared to established bridal brands like Carolina Herrera or Oscar de la Renta.
If the collaboration is successful, wouldn't it be great if the company decided to permanently include wedding dresses in all of its stores? What do you think—would you walk down the aisle in something from Topshop?

According to the latest survey results, business activity rose in June for the fourth consecutive month. The general business activity index registered 15, down slightly from 19 in May. Businesses reported an increase in sales, customer traffic and labor demand. However, prices continued to decline and businesses reported that investment activity remained weak. Expectations for activity six months from now remained strong, with a solid majority of survey respondents anticipating increases in general business activity. Respondents expect sales, labor demand, prices and investment to increase over the next six months.
The latest survey results indicated that business activity increased in June as the general business conditions index registered 15, down slightly from 19 last month. There was some moderation in the specific indicators of activity. The sales and customer traffic or inquiries indexes edged lower to 10 and 12, respectively, from 15 and 30. Taken with the moderation in the overall business activity indexes, it seems clear that that the pace of business activity slowed notably from April and May. Investment in equipment and software was flat in June while inventories declined after two months of increases, likely reflecting the softer activity for the month. Somewhat surprisingly, the business activity indexes for the state and the nation both fell sharply. While the indexes remained positive, survey participants have noted a considerable slowdown in business activity for the month. The state index dropped 24 points to 12 and the national index fell 28 points to 8.
The June survey results indicate an improvement in the labor market in June. Participants reported an increase in employment and hours worked. The number of employees index rose to 8 from −9 while the index of weekly hours jumped to 21 from 4. Despite weak labor market conditions, the index for average wages remained positive at 8, up slightly from last month.
Survey respondents continue to anticipate an increase in business activity over the next six months that will result in greater labor demand. Looking at respondents' expectations six months from now, the number of employees index edged higher to 18 from 15 last month while the hours worked index rose 2 points to 14. Just over one-third of respondents anticipate expanding their workforce over the next six months while 18 percent expect to reduce their workforce.
Businesses reported that prices received for final goods and services continued to decline while prices for materials continued to increase in June. Energy prices however, were slightly lower for the month. The prices received index edged lower to −15 from −12 while the prices paid for materials index was essentially unchanged at 17. The energy price index dropped 27 points to −2. However, firms continue to expect pricing conditions to improve with final goods prices rising over the next six months. There are widespread expectations for prices of materials and energy to also increase over the next six months.
Expectations of economic activity six months from now remained solid in June. The expectations index for general business activity at respondent's companies increased by four points to 39. Fifty-seven percent of respondents anticipate greater business activity six months from now while 18 percent anticipate business activity to decline. Expectations for sales and customer traffic rose in June while expectations for investment and inventory accumulation moderated. Expectations of economic activity for the state and national economy moderated slightly, with the state and national indexes edging lower to 33 and 39, respectively.

Rejecting The Status Quo In Education (Robert Coon On Politics)
Posted 1/22/2014 02:43 pm
Updated 11 months ago
When I was in the 4th grade, I was a little energetic in the classroom. My teacher, Mrs. Wimmer, told me I needed to exhibit more "self-control." Obviously that's a hard concept for a 10-year-old to get his head around.
But Mrs. Wimmer had a useful tool to encourage me: multiplication tables. Bringing home one or two — and sometimes four or five — multiplication table assignments daily quickly became the norm for me. It wasn't long before my mother, picking me up from school, stopped asking "if" I'd been assigned any tables, but "how many."
As you can imagine, by the end of my 4th grade year, I was a pro at writing those tables. Not only had I developed a system to write them more efficiently (and to lessen hand cramps), I could recite any multiplication answer between zero times zero and twelve times twelve at the snap of a finger.
Fortunately, I eventually developed some much needed self-control. But I'm not sure whether I developed a better understanding of math from this daily exercise, or just got good at memorizing numbers.
I've been pondering the difference as the debate over Common Core State Standards has heated up nationally and in Arkansas.
Common Core is a set of K-12 educational standards developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in conjunction with teachers, parents, academics and school administrators. In a nutshell, Common Core seeks to establish standard benchmarks for each grade level. For math, the standards favor critical thinking and problem-solving over memorization. For reading and literacy, Common Core encourages a broader, more informational and analytic approach.
Forty-five states have adopted Common Core standards. But recently they've become highly controversial, with opponents calling for them to be scrapped. Certainly the standards aren't perfect, but much of the criticism leveled against Common Core is based on misinformation and hyperbole.
Groups like the Foundation for Excellence in Education and education policy experts like Michael Petrilli of the Fordham Institute have done a good job breaking down a number of the bogus Common Core claims earlier this year. So instead of re-plowing old ground, I think it's more important to ask whether we can afford to reject change in education for the sake of maintaining the status quo.
The truth is, we can't.
While we probably don't want to admit it — and it doesn't make us feel warm and fuzzy to say it — the hard reality is that our education system is not performing at the level it must. There certainly are bright spots. But time and again, we're reminded how we're struggling to educate our children:
- Education Week's 2013 Quality Counts Report Card graded Arkansas a C- in "Chance for Success" and a D in "K-12 Achievement."
- A national study by ACT showed only one quarter of students entering college met College Readiness Bookmarks in all four tested subjects.
- Data by the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development revealed that while U.S. student scores weren't measurably different from years past, we slipped in global education rankings, falling from 24th to 29th in math, 19th to 22nd in science, and 10th to 20th in reading.
Quite simply, we're going backward when compared to the competition.
This should be a wake-up call for any parent with schoolchildren anywhere in the United States. But it should also be a wake up call for everyone who cares about our children, our economy and our nation's future.
We live in a global economy. When it comes to education, workforce development and, ultimately, economic growth, we're in direct competition with Asia and Europe. So building a solid educational foundation for the next generation is critical to our country's long-term economic prosperity.
There's no question that parental involvement and personal responsibility are the most important factors in positioning our children for educational success. And as much as we might want to legislate or mandate those things, the best we can do is strongly encourage them. Beyond that, it's our collective responsibility to ensure that our education system is efficient and effective, and that our children are, in fact, learning.
Common Core is not a panacea for our education system's flaws. It's also not perfect, and probably will never be. But we can't leave our education system on autopilot because we're afraid of change. State, national and global data have already shown us the results we'll get if we continue to do the things we're doing now. Isn't it worth trying something different?
For that reason, I'm willing to give Common Core the benefit of the doubt in hopes that its standards will bring about positive changes in our education system, so that we can stop going backward and start moving forward, for all our sakes.

Playing a drill sergeant in Penny Marshall's comedy, Hines had to lead a troop of soldiers (including Marky Mark and Kadeem Hardison) through a real-life graduation scene at South Carolina's Fort Jackson. ''It's not easy marching 60 people from here to there,'' says Hines. ''They've got to be on the right step, they've got to do all these maneuvers. I was marching them into hedges and the sides of buildings.'' But with time, the man who hoofed through The Cotton Club and White Nights ''got a sense of the choreography. Once I got that, we were doing double to the rear with a slight hesitation. I mean, we were chain-steppin'. It was great.''

The Cookware Manufacturers Association has launched a nationwide publicity campaign urging consumers to eat home-cooked meals as part of a healthy lifestyle. While healthy eating is one goal, another is to give the cookware market a boost.
"Obviously we hope people will go out and buy lots of cookware," said Hugh Rushing, executive vice president of the CMA. The move comes as more consumers turn to restaurant takeout and home meal replacement foods from grocery stores instead of preparing food at home. The association plans to promote recipes on its Web site, along with advice on how to use cookware and bakeware to make healthy meals in under 30 minutes.

We're not sure which of these Andy Samberg shots is our favorite Samberg as Bjorn Borg, Samberg as Agassi, Samberg as one hairy Sampras but this should be a lesson to all hopeful comedians: When it comes to parody, unparalleled, truth-enlightening accuracy trumps goofiness. And the portraits by Walter Iooss Jr. of Samberg recreating iconic tennis players hair, clothes, habits, and all are frighteningly accurate. And absolutely hilarious.

Christian Peoples Alliance

Political parties
The Christian Peoples Alliance is a Christian democratic political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in its present form in 1999, it grew out of a cross-party advocacy group known as the Movement for Christian Democracy. The party is active throughout England and has fledgling groups specific to Scotland and Wales. The party has two elected members as town councillors in England. The first leader of the party was Ram Gidoomal CBE. Alan Craig then took over from him in 2004 and remained leader until he resigned in October 2012. He was then replaced by Sid Cordle MBE who is the current leader
Public awareness of the party was first achieved due to members standing in the London mayor elections.[attribution needed] The values and policies the party looks to uphold — Christian democracy — were already reflected elsewhere in Europe, but the Christian Peoples Alliance claim[by whom?] to have been the first to bring them to the United Kingdom. The CPA has also received encouragement from other Christian democrat parties and are affiliated with the European Christian Political Movement.
As part of Christian social teaching, the party emphasises social justice; commitment to the "poor, the elderly and the vulnerable".[2] Based on the teaching of Jesus Christ, it also supports reconciliation between classes, nations and peoples.[2] CPA has also voiced advocation of environmentalism when considering economic policies. An important part of the party's outlook is respect for life, manifested in opposition to "abortion as a form of contraception, euthanasia, cloning and practices that directly or indirectly violate or de-value human life".[2] The CPA holds that traditional marriage and the family in general are essential bases for all social cohesion.[2]
Membership and affiliations[edit]
Political writers[who?] have asserted that the Christian Peoples Alliance wish to create an alternative to the perceived moral relativism of other parties in the United Kingdom, along the lines of Norway's Christian Democratic Party and Sweden's Christian Democrats — rather than a fundamentalist position.[3] Since 2007 the party has been affiliated to the European Christian Political Movement including its Youth Network, an association of Christian Democrat parties, think tanks and politicians across Europe who also advocate a Christian Social view.[4] When the CPA joined, Federal President of the party Stephen Hammond stated; "we want to learn from what other Christian parties are doing in their own countries, but also make a distinctive British contribution ourselves".[4] It also has good relations and has received encouragement from various other Christian democrats, such as Andre Rouvoet of the Netherlands' ChristianUnion, Päivi Räsänen of Finland's Christian Democrats and Senator Rónán Mullen an independent member of Ireland's Seanad Éireann amongst others.[5]
From its inception in 1999, the party has taken the bulk of its membership from, amongst others — Anglicans, Catholics, Evangelicals and the Black Churches.[6] Some of the latter group splintered off in 2004 under George Hargreaves to found the Christian Party, which compared to the Christian Peoples Alliance has more of Christian right perspective. The two parties remain separate entities, but in 2008 and 2009 entered electoral pacts with each other as Christian Party-Christian Peoples Alliance. These have not been repeated since.[7] The Christian Peoples Alliance does not limit its electoral appeal to just Christians, it quotes one supporter saying "I don't believe in God, but I do believe in Christian values".[3] It generally looks to a range of people who feel disenfranchised by the stances of existing parties.[3] It has also gained support from some people of minority religions as an opposition to secularism, social breakdown and moral relativism.[8]
Early years[edit]
The roots of the party can be traced back to a movement founded in 1991 by Christians — both Protestants and Catholics — known as the Movement for Christian Democracy.[9] It was founded in Westminster at a rally which drew an attendance of 2,000 people, with the motivation of providing an answer to increasing secularism. The three founding members were David Alton, Derek Enright and Ken Hargreaves, who were Members of Parliament at the time representing the Liberal, Labour and Conservative parties respectively. While the tradition of Christian democracy parties was well established in many other parts of Europe, it was not politically introduced into Britain until the MCD movement of the 1990s.[note 1] The movement existed as a cross-party advocacy group of sorts and although there were rumours in the media of it becoming a fully fledged political party it never materialised.[10]
However, out of the movement its chairman Dr Alan Storkey and vice-chairman David Campanale, led an internal consultation of MCD members that led to the formation of the Christian Peoples Alliance by leading MCD activists in 1999. Elements of proportional representation at local government level, brought about after the devolution of the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly saw the party gain confidence. By 2000 Ram Gidoomal had become leader of the party, a businessman and banker who had been awarded a CBE. He had converted to Christianity from Hinduism and is a Briton of Asian background.[11] Gidoomal stood for election for the London mayoral election, 2000. Gaining 98,549 votes at the first attempt, the party surprised some; finishing 5th, ahead of the Greens in first preference votes.[11] The campaign was committed to winning more jobs for Londoners, leading to The Times claiming, based on multiple choice results from a website run by New Statesman: "if Londoners elected a mayor purely on how his or her policies match the electors' views [...] the winner would be Ram Gidoomal.".[12] In November 2000, a candidate supported by the Christian Peoples Alliance stood at the Preston by-election, 2000, finishing seventh.[13]
Craig leadership[edit]
Following on from this, the party continued its activities, mostly in London such as fairly deprived working class areas like Canning Town in Newham. The Mayflower Declaration was authored which laid out in detail the party's values and policies. It was at Canning Town in 2002 that Alan Craig became the first ever Christian Democrat elected in Britain, as member of the local council. The party voiced its opposition to the prospect of the Iraq War, deeming it "illegal, unwise and immoral" — a position which they have stood by.[14] After the London mayoral election, 2004, Gidoomal stepped down as party leader to be succeeded by Cllr. Alan Craig. The party stood members for the 2005 general election with little success, yet a "blind candidating" contest run by BBC's Newsnight programme placed the party manifesto commitments second.[15] The party had more success in 2006, gaining two more council seats in Canning Town. The following year the party made way into Northern England, getting two members elected at parish council level for Aston-cum-Aughton in Rotherham.[16]
The same year it also gained encouragement from Scottish Catholic bishops Keith O'Brien and Philip Tartaglia for its social stances, including marriage, rights for unborn children and supporting the Church in the adoption debate.[17] The party also defended Anglican bishop Michael Nazir-Ali after comments made in the media regarding Islam.[18][19] The CPA campaigned against the building of Abbey Mills "mega mosque" in West Ham, planned by an alleged radical sect,[note 2] the party stated it was an "unwanted landmark" and would undermine community cohesion.[24] More than 255,000 British people supported the stance in a petition on the Downing Street website.[25] As part of a party pact with the Christian Party, Craig stood for the London mayoral election, 2008 as The Christian Choice, gaining almost 3% of the vote.[26] This was followed up with 249,493 votes at the European Parliament election 2009, 1.6% of the total.
Craig ceased to be leader and, on 7 October 2014, it was announced he has applied to join the UK Independence Party.[27]
Policies and stances[edit]
|Part of a series on
|Christian democracy
|Politics portal
The founding MCD principles, adopted in 1991 as the Westminster Declaration were then adopted by Christian Peoples Alliance council in September 2001 as the Mayflower Declaration[28] (after the Mayflower Family Centre in London's Canning Town). The use of the term "Mayflower Declaration" as a statement of the CPA's Principles must be regarded a controversial because the Mayflower Family Centre (of which, at the time of the declaration Alan Craig was Director)was a Community Centre registered with the Charity Commissioners. As such it was required to conform to Charity Commission rules, which preclude party political bias or association. All the policies of the CPA are linked to these policies and are summarised as:
- Recognition of Christ's sovereignty (supreme authority) over the nations and in politics.
- Respect of God's law as the basis for constitutional government and a stable society.
- Reconciliation among nations, races, religions, classes, gender and communities [with God]
- Respect for human life given by God.
- Social Justice to address wrongs and provide restitution to the wronged.
- Peacemaking, by addressing the causes of wars.
- Open, transparent government, which subjects itself to debate and critique.
Economic and European policy[edit]
The Christian Peoples Alliance rejects class struggle doctrine and supports a mixed market economy, with an emphasis on the community, social solidarity, support for social welfare provision and some regulation of market forces. The central theme being social justice, responsible charity and an emphasis on "people before profit".[29] Within the Mayflower Declaration the party sets out as goals and desires; providing resources to discourage economic dependency and promote gainful employment. A holistic approach to care, which moves beyond mere financial assistance, as well as help for those in danger of being pushed to the margins of society, like the homeless and disabled.[29] The Mayflower Declaration was updated and reprinted in early 2013 just after Sid Cordle MBE became leader. It now has a new introduction and at the back the policy on Europe was changed from support for the EU to "While we are members of the European Union to work with fellow Christians to seek to bring about moral and democratic reform." It subsequently went further and in its 2014 European manifesto said it wanted a referendum on the EU and that if a referendum was held now would support leaving the EU.(1) http://cpaparty.net/cpaeuman14.html
Internal organisation[edit]
The party has campaigned on a wide range of issues, winning success in 2000 when it organised a petition against government plans to require Asian visitors to the UK to place a £10,000 'bond' before seeing relatives.[30] In 2000 and 2004 in London it put inner-city regeneration and fighting discrimination as its top policy priorities.[31] Its policies to cut energy-use and road congestion through a motorway coach-network won acceptance at government level.[32] Its policies in support of marriage and church schools have become popular currency among secular parties.[33] The CPA has also taken a firm stand against the reclassification of cannabis,[34] When Alan Craig became leader he introduced policies in favour of linking Christianity to the European Union Constitution, building more church schools and supporting traditional Christian morality. Alan Craig also has led campaigns backing the UNISON steward at Newham Council who faced disciplinary action; against plans to build London's large casino in Newham,[35] against the Excel Arms Fair;[36] against what he claims are Labour's plans to move local families out of Canning Town in support of yuppie housing.
Alan Craig has also campaigned against proposals to demolish parts of Queen Street Market in favour of "non-invasive refurbishment"[37] environment.[38] Since its inception, the CPA has fought local authority elections at parish, borough, city and county level in London, Glasgow, Sheffield, Leeds, Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Ipswich, Gloucester, Northampton and Suffolk. Since Sid Cordle MBE has become leader campaigns have focused more on moral issues and the party has taken a much harder line on the EU. The party fought 3 regions in the 2014 European elections and had just over 60 local government candidates.
The party have yet to win a seat as a Member of Parliament, however they have won some local government council elections.

'Same- sex marriage'[edit]
The party took a leading role in the campaign against the Marriage (Same- Sex Couples) Act 2013 with its leader Sid Cordle speaking at a rally in Trafalgar Square and also while the debates were taking place he spoke at a rally outside Westminster. In May 2014 during the EU elections under questioning from Andrew Neal on the BBC Politics program Sid Cordle said that it was possible that recent storms in the UK could have been caused by God. Saying "I think all Christians believe that God does, and can do, things with nature," he said. "A lot of Christians believe God is angry over 'gay marriage' and God can show that anger if he wants to."[39][40]
- ^ There had been some earlier movements in the United Kingdom which claimed to represent Christian values, for example the Protestant Unionist Party in Northern Ireland. However, academics differentiate between the two kinds[9] in that PUP was associated with regional identity and exclusively Protestant basis, entwined with local politics of Northern Ireland. While the Movement for Christian Democracy was established on an inclusive Christian basis, with Protestant and Catholic involvement. A Christian democracy aimed at confronting secularism and representing Christians and their values in the United Kingdom in general.
- ^ The sect known as Tablighi Jamaat are behind the planning. A group whom the Federal Bureau of Investigation has claimed are a "key influence on terrorists targeting Britain" and "a common link to a string of attacks and conspiracies".[20] The party's broadcast in relation to the planning was censored on BBC and ITV, which led the CPA to take legal action.[21] A 23-year-old named Muhammad from Stevenage posted a death threat on YouTube in response, which was described in the national media as "chilling".[22][23]

Gay marriages approved in Delaware
Delaware is the 11th state to allow same-sex marriages.
On a 12-9 vote, a divided state Senate gave final legislative approval Tuesday to a bill authorizing same-sex marriage after hearing about three hours of debate.
Governor Markell signed the bill moments later, making it law.
The bill doesn't give same-sex couples any more rights or benefits under Delaware law than they currently have with civil unions. But supporters say same-sex couples deserve the dignity and respect of married couples. They also hope the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down a federal law barring married gay couples from receiving federal benefits.
Opponents, including many Delaware religious leaders, argue same-sex marriage redefines and destroys a centuries-old institution that is a building block of society.

We live in a culture that craves immediacy. We invented microwaves so we could have food in 60 seconds or less. The 'pony express' gave way to telegrams, which gave way to landline phones, which gave way to cell phones, which gave way to 'smart phones' with instant messages… each time, we celebrated the fact that we'd have to wait less.
Today, so much around us moves at a break-neck pace. But God hasn't changed his view on time. He's hasn't become obsessed with immediacy like we have.
It's interesting to me that, in the Old Testament book of Habakkuk, God tells a guy named Habakkuk about an amazing thing he's about to do. But then He adds an asterisk on the end. He says:
"The vision will not happen for awhile. It has an appointed time. Even though it seems a long time coming, wait for it. It is not a lie. It will happen." Habakkuk 2:3
Even a few thousand years ago, God knew it was human nature to expect things to happen right away. He was careful to remind Habakkuk that just because it doesn't happen as quick as he thinks it should doesn't mean it won't happen or that God lied.
I think this is an important reminder for each one of us (or at least it is for me). I often expect the prayers I pray, the hopes & dreams I have, and the plans I make to happen right away. I get discouraged when it seems like things aren't progressing fast enough. I sometimes start to doubt own abilities and question God's faithfulness when things take too long.
It's a good reminder: God's plans have an appointed time. That time might not be now. That time might be a long time off. But, just because it's not happening now doesn't mean it won't.

That Darned Dominance Debate
Dog trainers often have a very hard time clearly defining what they mean by "dominance." Many oddly state that they refuse to "even believe" in the concept, as if it were something equivalent to extraterrestial life forms or leprechauns. I find this puzzling, and a bit disturbing, perhaps because in my view, this "I won't even believe in that!" approach doesn't speak to any thoughtful examination of a complex and sometimes emotionally charged topic.

Belgian waffle
|Belgian waffles
A Belgian waffle with strawberries and confectioner's sugar
|Place of origin
|Maurice Vermersch
|Main ingredients
|Flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, milk, butter
|Chocolate Chip, Blueberry, Strawberry, Nutella, etc.
|Cookbook:Belgian waffles Belgian waffles
The Belgian waffle is a type of waffle popular in Europe and North America. Compared to the standard American waffle, it is identified by its larger size, lighter batter, larger squares, and a higher grid pattern that forms deep pockets.
What is known in North America as the 'Belgian waffle' does not exist in Belgium. No single type of waffle is identified as a 'Belgian waffle' within Belgium itself, where there are a number of different varieties, including the Brussels waffle and the Liège waffle. As opposed to a traditional North American waffle, the 'Belgian waffle' traditionally uses yeast instead of baking powder,[1] although contemporary Belgian waffles are often made with baking powder.
In North America, they are often eaten as a breakfast food; toppings vary from whipped cream, confectioners sugar, soft fruit, and chocolate spread, to syrup and butter or margarine. Alternatively, they are served with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit (such as strawberries) as a dessert.
Originally showcased in 1958[2] at Expo 58 in Brussels, Belgian waffles had their American debut at the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle, WA in 1962.[3] The waffles were further popularized in the United States during the 1964 New York World's Fair[1] at Flushing Meadows Park. The waffle was introduced by Maurice Vermersch of Brussels, Belgium, and was named the Bel-Gem Waffle. Largely based on a simplified recipe for the Brussels waffles, Vermersch decided to change the name upon observing that many Americans could not correctly identify Brussels as the capital of Belgium.[4][5] These waffles were served with whipped cream and strawberries, and retailed for a dollar.[2]

The replacement of the bridge was part of the wider aim to improve access to Dundee Port primarily for HGV traffic.
Stannergate Bridge's capacity was restricted to 33T. This restriction has been removed and this along with the junction improvements at the Greendykes Road/Broughty Ferry Road junction allows for easier access to the trunk road network. This project was funded by TACTRAN.
The road between the Stannergate bridge and the Port has also been improved with support from Scottish Enterprise Tayside.
The contractor was Carillion and the Project Management is by Mace Group.

The lot that the Hanging Home resides on is approximately 250 square meters in size and the zoning regulations only allowed for 40% site coverage. With a demanding program for such a small site, the design team decided that literally cantilevering half the house over the outdoor spaces would help to get the home past zoning regulations. Therefore, portions of the dining and living rooms float on a hanging concrete slab over the outdoor pool.
The home appears as if a sleek and modern cube was cut and decorated with traditional Maltese louvered doors. A steel staircase leads to the wood slate and glass entry. Adjacent to the entry is a semi-buried volume, which houses the home office. This space has its own entrance from the street and is designed for natural daylighting and ventilation. This grass-roofed volume also creates a privacy screen for the side outdoor area that includes the pool, a garden, and outdoor dining area.
Chris Briffa Architects designed this home to be warmed by low-energy radiant floor heating during the winter and cooled by natural ventilation during the summer. The double height space above the main staircase also acts as a cooling tower in the summer by drawing heat up from the warmer living spaces through the introduction of cross ventilation. The home stands out not only because of its modern stylings, but also because of its attention to sustainability in a simplistic way.
