Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Market Is Expected To Reach USD 26.1 Billion In 2018: Transparency Market Research
http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/group-iv-v-lubricants.htmlhttp://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/thermoplastic-elastomers.html However, ABS faces the threat of being substituted by other thermoplastics, particularly polypropylene and polystyrene. Both these plastics have excellent properties and are increasingly being used as substitutes to ABS in automobile and consumer goods applications. In addition, ABS comprises of monomers that are hazardous and have serious exposure impact on humans and the environment. These factors could act as major inhibitors for the market and could hamper the demand for ABS over the coming years. ABS demand is dominated by appliance applications, which accounted for over 32% of overall ABS volumes in 2011. However, automotive and consumer goods are fast growing applications of ABS and are expected to gain a substantial market share over the next six years Related & Recently Published Reports by Transparency Market Research http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/global-synthetic-and-bio-based-lubricants-market.html http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/anti-microbial-coating-market.html http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/construction-equipment-market.html http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/teg-market.html http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/ilpv-market.html The rest of Asia region comprising of countries like India, Japan, Taiwan and Korea is the second largest consumer of ABS after China. The region accounted for over 15% of the global demand in 2011 and is expected to gain market share over the forecast period. With manufacturing capacities being shifted towards China and India and mature domestic demand, North America and Europe are expected to be somewhat stagnant markets for ABS in the near future.

Thread: Name imagery
July 1st, 2013 02:29 PM #1
Name imagery
Do your favorite names conjure certain sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and textures in your head? What type of imagery are you most attracted to? There's almost always a correlation between the names we love and the things we value, and I'm interested to know what you think the imagery you associate with your favorite names says about you. Or, if you're someone who doesn't "get" name imagery, what do you think your favorite names say about you?
Any takers?Emily • Nineteen • United States

Every name has a color (often more than one mixed together) and texture to me, and some of them have a shape. For example Catherine is a dusty, pale pink - think a pale dusty-rose color with the texture of powdered makeup. Lydia is similar: white and pale grey with a dusty, cratered texture, like I imagine standing on the surface of the moon would look and feel. On the other hand Henry is bright turquoise blue with veins of navy, smooth but a bit crackled, and shape as though you're standing under a dome.
As far as imagery I think @ottilie's description of how she sees names or wants a name to look is absolutely beautiful, but I don't get much like that, just the colors. And my personal 'favorite' colors don't necessarily correspond to my favorite names. Ex: my favorite colors are grey and chartreuse, and the name Ailsa combines both those two colors, but I don't love it. It's okay, but wouldn't make my list. (Might have something to do with the fact that it, like Albert, has a warty, gourd-like texture)
Sometimes I wonder if I'm not more oriented towards auras than I am towards the colors of the names themselves, because two people with the same name sometimes have different colors. Ex: my uncle Steven I see as very dark hunter green/black, painted velvet texture, whereas my ex-fiance who was also a Stephen had a more smooth, warm, honey/light brown color - I don't think the spelling of the name has much to do with it, since individual letters aren't colored to me. I had another ex, Christopher, whose name was a deep burgundy-violet like the skin of a ripe plum, but I've met other Christophers who weren't the same color.
I don't know that it really affects my preferences for what names I like, since no matter what color they tend to have the same basic features: shorter (one or two syllables), vintage-sounding names with spunky nicknames. There are exceptions, of course (Barnaby and Leona are both 3-syllable names) but none of the colors match. I tend to think of the colors/textures as just a "bonus" dimension to the name rather than a deal-breaker, although if I thought a name's color/texture was really hideous I'd probably hesitate to use it.

Yes, I do. I've never tried to hide that! I get certain feelings from names, a setting, a smell, a taste. I don't expect everyone to understand or see things the way I do; I'm slightly insane and I've got synesthesia, so I know it might seem absurd. It's got everything to do with who I am as a person, and the names I am most attracted to are the ones that makes the most sense to me, that gives me visions of how I think my little ones will be. I grew up as a little explorer; playing Robin Hood and King Arthur in the garden and in the forest, mermaids in the ocean, hiking in the mountains (preferably with a tail, so we could play huldre, a scary Norwegian forest nymph), dancing on cliffs. I'm a nature girl. If the names I love doesn't feel naturesque to me, off they go. Oriana and Roxana, two names I love dearly, both gives me images of lace, velvet, rubies and emeralds, jasmine teas and boudoirs, they smell like heavy perfume and taste like expensive chocolate; all things I love, but they're indoor names. I can't give my children indoor names. It might seem totally ridiculous (I know), but as I said, I'm crazy. My favourite kind of imagery is nature, wild untamed nature. Some are stormy ocean scenes, some ancient forests, some wild midnight gardens, lakes in the forest, long dewy grass, seasides at twilight, snowy icy mountain scenes. Mysteries, magic and faerie. They smell and taste like the salty ocean, roses, honey and rain. All kinds, but all nature. Scattered with nymphs and sorceresses, knights and hunters.
I also see names in colours, so it can be quite tricky. I need to match the feeling and colour I get from a name with two others, and they need not to crash and at the same time have a very special meaning to me. So a naming process can be quite frustrating...
What I think my favourite names say about me? Behind my back? Probably that I'm a nut. No, I think it says it all. I hope? When I was little, my parents used to call me "little hulder" (again, those scary wood nymphs, they are beautiful women with tails who lure men with their song and they're never seen again, kind of like woodland sirens maybe?), because they said I have an ethereal quality (sounds self involved, but I'm not trying to be special here). This has always been a blessing and a curse though, I'm bipolar and that's definitely in my nature and plays in on how I see things.
However, when I meet someone (or get to know someone) the imagery and colour can change. Which is why naming my child after people I know (or knew) can be very tricky. Worked out with my grandfather as he was woodsy.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

@ottilie: For what it's worth, I don't think it's crazy at all. I think the way you see names is incredibly beautiful. The things I see in my head aren't as vivid as the things you see, for sure. Regardless, I do get something for all five senses from my favorite names. Like you, I've got this type of imagery criteria in my head. If I can't get a certain smell or certain sight from a name, it generally doesn't stay on my list for long.
@charlieandperry1: I'm also very traditional and I don't adapt well to change. I'm pretty sure that's why I favor classic/traditional/vintage names, although I do have a few wildcards on my list. Most of my list comes from my family tree or the Bible though, and yeah, that says a lot about me.
@greyer: The texture thing is interesting. For me the name itself doesn't have a texture, it just brings to mind things that do. Like Benjamin conjures the feel of old, worn leather and sanded wood. If that makes sense.

La Bohème aroused quick public response, thanks to its heart-warming melodies and absorbing drama. Many early critics, however, objected strongly to its story, its music, even its romantic freedom. Turinese writers bemoaned what they called a decline in Puccini's powers; some dubbed the new work a mere potboiler, others dismissed it as an operina or operetta, and here in New York the Tribune critic flailed the new work as "foul in subject and fulminant and futile in its music." In due course, however, even the critics were won over by the bubbling verve and intense fervor of the music. Today most opera-goers would rank La Bohème among their favorite operas.
Act I
Scene: In the Attic.
The cold, bleak garret dwelling of the inseparable quartet, Rodolfo, poet; Marcello, painter; Colline, philosopher; Schaunard, musician, is certainly large enough to accommodate such a family. The sparse furniture makes it seem doubly spacious. For the fireplace — devoid of fire — the few chairs, the table, the small cupboard, the few books, the artist's easel, appear like miniatures in this immense attic. Marcello, busily painting at his never-finished canvas — The Passage of the Red Sea — stops to blow on his hands to keep them from freezing. Rodolfo, the poet, gazes through the window over the snow-capped roofs of Paris. Marcello breaks the silence by remarking that he feels as though the Red Sea were flowing down his back, and Rodolfo answers the jest with another. When Marcello seizes a chair to break it up for firewood, Rodolfo halts him, offering to sacrifice the manuscript of one of his plays instead. The doomed play now goes into the flames, act by act, and as it burns, the friends feast their eyes on the blaze, but gain scant warmth from it. The acts burn quickly, and Colline, who now enters stamping with cold, declares that since brevity is the soul of wit, this drama was truly sparkling.
Accompanied by errand boys, the musician Schaunard bursts in cheerfully, bringing wood for the fire, food and wine for the table, and money — plenty of it, from the way he flashes it. To his enraptured companions he relates how a rich English amateur has been paying him liberally for music lessons. The festivities are cut short by the arrival of the landlord Benoit, who begins to demand his long overdue rent, when he is mollified by the sight of money on the table. As he joins the comrades in several rounds of drinks, he grows jovial and talkative. The young men feign shock when the tipsy landlord begins to boast of his affairs with women in disreputable resorts, protesting that they cannot tolerate such talk in their home; and he a married man, too! The gay quartet seize the landlord and push him out of the room.
Rodolfo remains behind to work as his companions go off to the Café Momus to celebrate. He promises to join them in five minutes. He now makes several fruitless attempts to continue an article, and a timid knock at the door finally interrupts his efforts. Rodolfo opens, and a young girl enters shyly. While explaining that she is a neighbor seeking a light for her candle, she is suddenly overcome by a fit of coughing. Rodolfo rushes to her side to support her as she begins to faint and drops her candle and key. He gives her some water and a sip of wine. Rodolfo recovers the candle, lights it, and, after accompanying her to the door, returns to his work. A moment later Mimi re-enters. She has suddenly remembered the key and pauses at the threshold to remind Rodolfo of its loss. Her candle blows out, and Rodolfo offers his, but that, too, soon goes out in the draft. Left in the dark, they grope together along the floor for the lost key. Rodolfo finds it and quietly pockets it. Slowly he makes his way toward his visitor, as if still searching for the key, and sees to it that their hands meet in the dark. Taken unawares, the girl gives a little outcry and rises to her feet. "Thy tiny hand is frozen" ("Che gelida manina"), says Rodolfo tenderly; "let me warm it for you."
Rodolfo assists the girl to a chair, and as he assures her it is useless to hunt for the key in the dark, he begins to tell her about himself. "What am I?" he chants; "I am a poet!" Not exactly a man of wealth, he continues, but one rich in dreams and visions. In a wondrous sweep of romantic melody he declares she has come to replace these vanished dreams of his, and now he dwells passionately on her eyes, eyes that have robbed him of his choicest jewels. As the aria ends, Rodolfo asks his visitor to tell him about herself. "Who are you?" he asks.
Simply, modestly, the girl replies: "My name is Mimi," and in an aria of touching romantic sentiment, she confides that she makes artificial flowers for a living. Meanwhile she yearns for the real blossoms of spring, the meadows, the sweet flowers that speak of love.
Rodolfo is entranced by the simple charm and frail beauty of his visitor and sympathizes with her longing for a richer life. The enchanted mood is broken by the voices of Marcello. Colline, and Schaunard. calling Rodolfo from the street below. As Rodolfo opens the window to answer, the moonlight pours into the room and falls on Mimi. Rodolfo, beside himself with rapture, bursts out with a warm tribute to her beauty, and soon the two of them unite their voices in impassioned song. "O soave fanciulla" ("O lovely maiden"). Mimi coquettishly asks Rodolfo to take her with him to the Café Momus, where he is to rejoin his friends. They link arms and go out and as they go down the stairs their voices are heard blending in the last fading strains of their ecstatic duet.
Act II
Scene: A Students' Café in the Latin Quarter.
It is Christmas Eve. A busy crowd is swarming over the public square on which the Café Momus stands. Street vendors are crying their wares, and students and working girls cross the scene, calling to one another. Patrons of the café are shouting their orders to waiters, who bustle about frantically. The scene unfolds in a joyful surge of music, blending bits of choral singing, snatches of recitative. and a lively orchestral accompaniment. Rodolfo and Mimi. walking among the crowd arm in arm, stop at a milliner's, where the poet buys her a new hat. Then the lovers go to the sidewalk table already occupied by Colline. Marcello, and Schaunard.
Parpignol, a toy vendor, bustles through the crowd with his lantern-covered pushcart, trailing a band of squealing and squabbling children, who pester their mothers for money to buy toys. As the children riot around him, Parpignol flings his arms about in despair and withdraws with his cart. Meanwhile the Bohemians have been ordering lavishly, when suddenly there is a cry from the women in the crowd: "Look, look, it's Musetta with some stammering old dotard!" Musetta, pretty and coquettish, appears with the wealthy Alcindoro, who follows her slavishly about. Musetta and Marcello had been lovers, had quarreled and parted. Noticing Marcello with his friends, the girl occupies a near-by table and tries to draw his attention. Marcello at first feigns indifference, and when Mimi inquires about the attractive newcomer, Marcello replies bitterly: "Her first name is Musetta, her second name is Temptation!" In an access of gay daring, Musetta now sings her famous waltz, "Quando me'n vo soletta per la via" in which she tells how people eye her appreciatively as she passes along the street.
The melody floats lightly and airily along, a perfect expression of Musetta's lighthearted nature. Presently the voices of the other characters join in — Alcindoro trying to stop her; Mimi and Rodolfo blithely exchanging avowals of love; Marcello beginning to feel a revived interest in Musetta; Colline and Schaunard commenting cynically on the girl's behavior. Their varied feelings combine with Musetta's lilting gaiety in an enchanting fusion of voices. Musetta now pretends her shoe hurts, that she can no longer stand, and Alcindoro hurries off to the nearest shoemaker. The moment he disappears from sight, she rushes to Marcello. The reunited lovers kiss, and Musetta takes a chair at Marcello's table. The elaborate supper ordered by Alcindoro is served to the Bohemians along with their own. As distant sounds of music are heard, the crowd runs excitedly across the square to meet the approaching band. Amid the confusion the waiter brings in the bill, the amount of which staggers the Bohemians. Schaunard elaborately searches for his purse. Meanwhile as the band comes nearer and nearer, the people along the street grow more and more excited. Musetta rescues her friends from their plight by instructing the waiter to add the two bills together and present them to Alcindoro when he returns. A huge crowd now rushes in to watch as the patrol, headed by a drum major, marches into view. Musetta, lacking a shoe, hobbles about, till Marcello and Colline lift her to their shoulders and carry her off triumphantly to the rousing cheers of the crowd. Panting heavily, Alcindoro runs in with a new pair of shoes for Musetta, and as he slumps dejectedly into a chair he receives the collective bill.
Act III
Scene: A Gate to the City of Paris (the Barrière d'Enjer).
A bleak, wintry dawn at one of the toll gates to the city. At one side of the snow-blanketed square stands a tavern, over the entrance of which, as a signboard, hangs Marcello's picture of the Red Sea. From within the tavern come sounds of revelry. Outside the gate a motley crowd of scavengers, dairy women, truckmen, and farmers have gathered, demanding to be let through. One of the customs officers warming themselves at a brazier saunters over to the gate and admits the crowd. From the tavern comes the sound of Musetta's voice. Peasant women pass through the gate, declaring their dairy products to the officials. From a side street leading out of the Latin Quarter comes Mimi, shivering with cold. A violent fit of coughing seizes her as she asks one of the officers where she can find Marcello. The officer points to the tavern, and Mimi sends a woman in to call him. Marcello, rushing to her side, greets her warmly with a cry of "Mimi!" "Yes, it is I; I was hoping to find you here," she replies weakly. Marcello tells her that he and Musetta now live at the tavern: he has found sign-painting more profitable than art, and Musetta gives music lessons. Mimi tells Marcello she needs his help desperately, for Rodolfo has grown insanely jealous and the constant bickering has made life unbearable. In a tender duet with Mimi, Marcello expresses his sympathy, and her frequent coughing only deepens his concern.
When Rodolfo comes from the tavern to call Marcello, Mimi slips behind some trees to avoid being seen. Now Mimi overhears Rodolfo complaining to Marcello about their quarreling. Just as he announces his decision to give her up, Mimi reveals her presence by another coughing fit, and Rodolfo rushes to embrace her, his love returning at the sight of her pale, fragile beauty. But she breaks away, and sings a touching little farewell song, in which she says she bears him no ill will, that she will now return to her little dwelling, that she will be grateful if he will wrap up her few things and send them to her.
Meanwhile Marcello has re-entered the tavern and caught Musetta in the act of flirting. This brings on a quarrel, which the couple continue in the street. As Mimi and Rodolfo bid each other good-by — "Addio, dolce svegliare alia matina" ("Farewell, a sweet awakening in the morning") — their friends almost reach the point of blows in their quarrel. The music vividly mirrors the difference in temperament of the two women — Mimi, sad, gentle, ailing; Musetta, bold and belligerent — as well as the different response of the two men. "Viper!" "Toad!" Marcello and Musetta shout to each other as they part. "Ah, that our winter night might last forever," laments Mimi. Their resolve to part weakens in the new mood of tenderness, and as they leave the scene Rodolfo sings, "Ci lascieremo alla stagion fiorita" — "We'll say good-by when the flowers are in bloom."
Act IV
Scene: In the Attic (as in Act I).
Rodolfo and Marcello, having again broken off with their mistresses, are back in their garret, living lonely, melancholy lives. Rodolfo is at his table, pretending to write, while Marcello is at his easel, also pretending. They are obviously thinking of something else — of their happy times with Mimi and Musetta. When Rodolfo tells Marcello that he passed Musetta on the street looking happy and prosperous, the painter feigns lack of interest. In friendly revenge, he tells Rodolfo he has seen Mimi riding in a sumptuous carriage, looking like a duchess. Rodolfo tries, unsuccessfully, to conceal his emotions, but a renewed attempt to work proves futile. While Rodolfo's back is turned, Marcello takes a bunch of ribbons from his pocket and kisses them. There is no doubt whose ribbons they are. Rodolfo, throwing down his pen, muses on his past happiness. "Oh, Mimi, you left and never returned" ("Ah, Mimi, tu piu"), he sings; "O beautiful bygone days; O vanished youth." Marcello joins in reminiscently, wondering why his brush, instead of obeying his will, paints the dark eyes and red lips of Musetta.
Their mood brightens momentarily as Colline and Schaunard enter with a scant supply of food. With mock solemnity the friends apply themselves to the meager repast as if it were a great feast. When a dance is proposed, Rodolfo and Marcello begin a quadrille, which is quickly cut short by Colline and Schaunard, who engage in a fierce mock duel with fire tongs and poker. The dancers encircle the, duelists, and just as the festive mood reaches its height, Musetta bursts in. She brings sad news: Mimi, who is with her, is desperately ill. The friends help Mimi into the room and place her tenderly on Rodolfo's bed. Again Rodolfo and Mimi are in each other's arms as past quarrels are forgotten. When Musetta asks the men to give Mimi some food, they confess gloomily there is none in the house, not even coffee. Mimi asks for a muff and Rodolfo begins rubbing her hands, which are stiff with cold. Musetta gives her earrings to Marcello, telling him to sell them to buy medicine and summon a doctor. Then, remembering Mimi's request, she goes to get her own muff. Spurred by Musetta's example, Colline resolves to sell his beloved overcoat to make some purchases for Mimi. In a pathetic song he bids farewell to the coat, and departs with Schaunard to find a buyer. Rodolfo and Mimi are now alone. Faintly her voice is heard: "Have they gone? I pretended to be sleeping so that I could be with you. There is so much to say." The lovers unite their voices in a duet of poignant beauty as they recall the days spent together, of the first time they met, of how she told him her name was Mimi. Reminiscent strains of melody are spun by the orchestra as the couple dwell on their attic romance. Mimi wants to know if Rodolfo still thinks her beautiful. "Like dawn itself!" he exclaims ardently. Suddenly Mimi, coughing and choking, sinks back in a faint. Rodolfo cries out in alarm, as Schaunard enters and asks excitedly what has happened. Mimi, reviving, smiles wanly and assures them everything is all right. Musetta and Marcello enter quietly, bringing a muff and some medicine. Mimi eagerly seizes the muff, which Musetta insists Rodolfo has purchased for her. Growing weaker and weaker, Mimi at last falls asleep — or, so it seems. Marcello heats the medicine; the other men whisper together, and Musetta begins to pray. Rodolfo has fresh hope, now that Mimi is sleeping so peacefully. Schaunard tiptoes over to the bed. Mimi is not asleep — she is dead! Shaken, he whispers the news to Marcello. Rodolfo, having covered the window to keep out the light of dawn, notes the sudden change in his friends at the other end of the room. As he realizes the truth, the orchestra pounds out fortissimo chords full of tragic impact. Musetta kneels at the foot of the bed, Schaunard sinks into a chair, Colline stands rooted to one spot, dazed, while Marcello turns away to hide his grief. Rodolfo rushes across the room, flings himself on Mimi's bed, lifts her up, and sobs brokenly, "Mimi! . . , Mimi! … Mimi!"
[Adapted from The Victor Book of the Opera, 1929]

- Serves: 8
- Calories: 285
- Total Fat: 25g
- Total Carbohydrate: 12g
- Protein: 15g
Fun, festive and FREE of dairy, legumes and corn - this is the perfect Paleo Taco Dip to bring to a party or enjoy while watching your favorite game! Can be made as individual servings or one big casserole dish.
Add a Note
My Notes:Add a Note
- 1.25 lb 1.25 lb 1.25 lb Ground Beef, lean
- 3 Tbsp 3 Tbsp 3 Tbsp Taco Seasoning
- 2 cup 2 cup 2 cup Salsa, or Pico De Gallo
- 2 cup 2 cup 2 cup Guacamole
- 1.5 cup 1.5 cup 1.5 cup Iceburg Lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup 1 cup 1 cup Olives, sliced black olives
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Once hot, toss in ground beef and taco seasoning. Break up meat with a spoon and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Drain meat well and transfer to a bowl.
- Set out cooked ground beef, pico, guacamole, chopped lettuce and sliced olives.
- Grab a large trifle (or casserole) dish (or individual trifle dishes) and begin layering. Spread the ground beef on the bottom, next is the pico de gallo and then the guacamole. Sprinkle with chopped lettuce and sliced black olives. If you are making individual servings, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to divide the ground beef, pico and guacamole into each dish and then sprinkle each dish with chopped lettuce and sliced black olives.
- Serve with plantain chips for dipping and Enjoy!
You can layer this into any serving dish. I like to use a clear one so everyone can see the layers. If you don't have a trifle dish, a Pyrex lasagna type dish will work or any other clear serving bowl. You could also layer individual servings into clear, disposable drinking cups for easy transport and clean up! If you use a store-bought or different Taco Seasoning, add it slowly and keep tasting as you may need more or less than the 3 Tablespoons I used of my homemade spice mix. *See original recipe for additional recipe notes*

England boss Roy Hodgson won't ask Chelsea skipper John Terry to come out of retirement
England manager Roy Hodgson has insisted he will not be panicked into asking former captain John Terry to reconsider his decision to retire from international duty ahead of the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
Germany inflicted a 1-0 loss on Tuesday night which resulted in successive Wembley defeats for the first time in 36 years and saw defensive deficiencies again exposed following Friday's 2-0 defeat to Chile.
Former England defender Danny Mills, a member of the Football Association commission analysing the national team's failings and seeking solutions, called for Chelsea skipper Terry to be recalled from retirement during his work as a pundit for BBC Radio Five Live.
Terry featured in all four of England's Euro 2012 matches under Hodgson and retired from international football following the World Cup qualifying win in Moldova - the last of his 78 caps - prior to being banned by the FA for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.
Hodgson gave the suggestion of a return short shrift.
"We've moved on from that. John retired," the England boss told BBC Sport after the game. "We've qualified with our 10 matches and 10 matches with (Gary) Cahill and (Phil) Jagielka and we've seen a very good performance from Chris Smalling tonight.
"I think it's important that we continue along those lines, continue looking forward and that we don't start panicking and looking backwards every time we have a reverse."

Internship Opportunities
WLP Internships
The Washington Leadership Program (WLP) provides students with over thirty different internships to choose from, so they allow participants a wide array of internship selections. These include internships with, governmental agencies, congressional offices and non-governmental organizations/non-profits. We will also offer a limited opportunities with for-profit organizations, though all internship assignments will have a government and/or education and outreach focus.
See a full list of internships possible through the WLP. Note that you will need your IU username and password to access these internship descriptionsAdditional Internship Placements
IU in DC offers some flexibility in that if a student wants an internship that is not on our pre-determined list, we can help him or her, based on their own initiative, obtain their desired internship. We have had participants intern at many places by these means, including in the U.S. Humane Society and the Smithsonian Gardens.
In addition to the existing internship placements, there are a number of internships students may wish to pursue but will need to apply for in addition to their IU in DC program. These include, but are not limited to the White House and the State Department. In many cases, students will need to apply for these programs before they know of their acceptance or denial into the WLP.
Acceptance into any of these these internships do not guarantee placement into the Washington Leadership Program and vice versa. WLP staff are happy to assist students throughout these application processes and any necessary security clearance paperwork, but have no direct influence on the outcome of these placements. In addition, these programs are highly competitive and we ask that any student who is interested in the WLP and applying for one of these internships, remain open-minded to other internship placements we may have to offer. If a student is admitted to the WLP but not to their top internship placement, we will work with the student to secure an alternate placement and ask that they remain flexible and consider alternate placements.

Serial killer's blood could solve old murders
CHICAGO (AP) — Detectives have long wondered what secrets serial killer John Wayne Gacy and other condemned murderers took to the grave when they were executed — particularly whether they had other unknown victims.
Now, in a game of scientific catch-up, the Cook County Sheriff's Department is trying to find out by entering the killers' DNA profiles into a national database shared with other law-enforcement agencies. The move is based on an ironic legal distinction: The men were technically listed as homicide victims themselves because they were put to death by the state.

Shaw Media, Bell Media and Corus Entertainment have entered into a number of agreements that re-organize their respective specialty channel portfolios.
Shaw has agreed to sell to Corus its interest in ABC Spark, Historia and Series+. Separately, Corus will sell its 20 per cent interest in Food Network Canada to Shaw. As a result of these transactions, Shaw will receive net proceeds of approximately $95 million in cash.
In an unrelated transaction, Corus has entered into an agreement with Bell Media to acquire the remaining interest in the two French language channels.
Shaw will sell to Corus its 50 per cent interest in the French-language specialty channels, Historia and Series+. Separately, Shaw will sell to Corus its 49 per cent interest in ABC Spark.
"Shaw Media is home to the most-loved television brands," said Paul Robertson, President of Shaw Media and Group Vice President, Shaw Communications Inc. "We are continually fine-tuning our portfolio of specialty channels to ensure we connect with audiences and meet the needs and expectations of all our stakeholders."
The sale of Historia and Series+ are subject to regulatory approval. The transactions are not conditional on other asset agreements entered into by Corus.
Corus' agreement with Bell sees it acquiring the 50% remaining ownership interest in TELETOON and two Ottawa-based radio stations, CKQB-FM (The Bear 106.9) and CJOT-FM (boom 99.7), that Bell will acquire as part of the acquisition of Astral Media Inc. pending regulatory approval. With these acquisitions, TELETOON, Télétoon (French), TELETOON Retro, Télétoon Rétro (French), Cartoon Network (Canada) and radio stations, CKQB-FM and CJOT-FM, will be wholly owned by Corus.
Certain transactions are subject to approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the Competition Bureau.
"These transactions represent a transformative opportunity for Corus," said John Cassaday, President and Chief Executive Officer, Corus Entertainment. "The consolidation of TELETOON and the addition of the popular services Historia and Séries+ give Corus the scale to expand into the growing French-language specialty television market. As a well-capitalized company, Corus can contribute to the growth of this market and provide new opportunities for the production community, while adding greater diversity to the system and more choice to French-speaking audiences.
"The addition of the Ottawa radio stations, CKQB-FM and CJOT-FM, has been a long-standing goal and allows us to bring our skills and passion for radio to another major Canadian market, while delivering exceptional programming and local information to the Ottawa community," he continued. "Finally, full ownership of ABC Spark, based on the highly successful ABC Family channel in the U.S., and now widely distributed across Canada, represents an excellent growth opportunity for Corus."
The combined acquisition price for the Bell-Corus assets is $494 million CDN; the overall transaction is valued at an LTM EBITDA multiple of 10.4x.
Meanwhle, Bell has received Competition Bureau clearance for the transaction that will join Astral Media with Bell Media. The transaction also requires approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
The Competition Bureau's announcement is the result of an agreement under which Bell will sell a number of Astral TV services. Bell Media will retain eight Astral TV services: the French-language SuperÉcran, CinéPop, Canal Vie, Canal D, VRAK TV, and Z Télé, and English-language services The Movie Network, which includes HBO Canada, and TMN Encore.

Galileo Galilei is an opera based on excerpts from the life of Galileo Galilei which premiered in 2002 at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. Music by Philip Glass, libretto by Mary Zimmerman and Arnold Weinstein. The piece is presented in one act consisting of ten scenes without break.
Production Notes
From a Boston University performance...
Scene One (Opening Song): In the final days of his life, the now blind Galileo Galilei remembers the things in his life that he can no longer see.
Scene Two (Recantation): The officials of the Catholic Church rebuke the scientist for not relenting on his theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Pope hands down his sentence, and then reminds Galileo of a time when they walked in the garden as friends.
Scene Three (Pears): Marie Celeste, the daughter of Galileo, sends her intense devotion love and support through letters that are accompanied by elements of her garden at the convent.
Scene Four (Trial): Galileo is summoned before two Cardinals of the Catholic Church to answer questions regarding his book "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World".
Scene Five (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World): As Galileo pens his book, the fictitious characters come alive to discuss the theories presented.
Here, the Older Galileo becomes the Younger Galileo.
Scene Six (Incline Plane): The theories and experiments are put to the test in Galileo's laboratory.
Scene Seven (A Walk in the Garden): Galileo and his great friend Cardinal Barberini discuss Galileo's newest book in the Garden. After the Cardinal's feeble attempt at poetry, Galileo expresses his fear of his enemies. Barberini warns Galileo not to continue with his theories regarding the planets.
Scene Eight (Lamps): While at mass with his daughter, Galileo observes the swinging of a lamp suspended from the ceiling moving in pendulum fashion and explains his theory to Marie.
Scene Nine (Presentation of the Telescope): Galileo presents his invention to the Duchess and her Ladies in Waiting. The Duchess and Galileo reminisce about a time in their youth when they watched an opera together composed by Galileo's father, Vincenzo.
Scene Ten (Opera within the Opera): The Duchess and Galileo, now children, are in the audience as his father's opera is performed. The magical story of the planetary figures becomes the vehicle through which Galileo is reunited with his deceased daughter.

Polluters in China beware – there's a new Premier in town and he is ready to tackle pollution with an "iron fist," he told media at his debut press conference over the weekend. While Li Keqiang did not mention any specific steps his government would take to clean up the country's increasingly toxic waterways, skies and fields, he did specifically say that economic growth should not occur at the expense of the environment.
Photo via Shutterstock
Li's debut press conference comes just days after another batch of rotting dead pigs was hauled out of a river that feeds Shanghai's drinking water, bringing the total number of pigs found in the river to roughly 12,000, The Guardian reports. This combined with eye-and-lung burning air pollution – in some cases indexed at levels 30 times higher than what is considered safe – has roused the Chinese public all across the country.
Both on the streets and online, Chinese nationals are demanding that the government address the pollution problem – especially the record smog that has hovered over cities for weeks. Li in turn asked the public to do their part to combat the issue, and told reporters that "This government will show even greater resolve and take more vigorous efforts to clean up such pollution."
After promising to phase out old production facilities that lack sufficient environmental controls, Li said "We need to face the situation and punish offenders with no mercy and enforce the law with an iron fist."

Life Partners May Face SEC Action
WACO, Texas ( TheStreet) -- Life Partners Holdings (LPHI) warned Friday it could face civil charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Life Partners disclosed that it received a Wells notice from the SEC on Monday saying SEC staff would recommend civil charges against the company, as well as its CEO, Brian D. Pardo, and its general counsel, R. Scott Peden.
The Waco, Texas-based company purchases life insurance policies at a discount from individuals and then sells them to investors.
The charges are related to what the company knew -- and what it disclosed to investors -- about the accuracy of life expectancies of people whose insurance policies Life Partners purchased.Life Partners said Friday it has been cooperating with the SEC investigation. Wells notices are not formal allegations of wrongdoing but advise companies of actions the SEC is considering. Following the receipt a Wells notice, a company is allowed to present its position to the SEC before the commission decides whether to take formal action. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll Life Partners first disclosed it was the subject of an SEC investigation in January, following reporting by The Wall Street Journal that questioned how the company calculated life expectancies on the insurance policies it purchased. The calculations are crucial to the investors who purchase the policies from Life Partners, because they can affect investors' total payout. Shares of Life Partners fell $1.42, or 20.2%, Friday to $5.62 on news of the Wells notice.

All Aiming for 3.45 - 3.59
hello friend
just lurking really TBH
i just enjoy reading a lot of stuff, running related that is
I first met u at Four villages ?? you told me about upcoming chester FM, yes - no
you'll know if i'm right or not, as i have meeting and bump into peeps all over UK
i hope and trust everyone is well
We did meet at Four Villages and we talked about the Chester Mara, but that was after Macc.We had a chat before the race, you were parked with Phil to the left of the clubhouse opposite the final bend of the track, I think. That was a cracking race, and a great atmosphere.
Viking - I agree with Mr P - you'll be fine.....hope it clears up for the day. Mr P - that's a brilliant run mate !
Re OMAHD - here's the legend himself.......we kept passing each other, finally did so again near Big Ben so decided to limp over the line together. Think this was 2008 - the effing hot year anyway
Gentle (but hilly) 10 miler for me this morning in the cold and wet. Sort of tapering I guess. Not looking forward to Brighton at all next week TBH
Yeah 2008 was the rain, the shin splints, the cramp, the 4:12
Hi guys, haven't been on here for a while as I can't run . Don't ever get ITBS as it really does stop you running - even me!
Am doing 200 reps a day on a foam roller and have bought a knee strap, plus spending many hours researching the problem.
Am determined to sort it out, although I don't know whether this will be in time keep to my 100 marathon schedule.
Happy tapering.
OG, the roller is a plastic tube with a foam surround. Have you ever tried hashing? The run - walk for me - is at 7.30pm from Friars Oak at Hassocks - just down the road from you.
Btw guys, now regards myself as an expert on ITBS - would be surprised if there's any recent article on it that I haven't read!
just love the name, got a real cool ring to it
Had an Eureka moment when out on a 4 mile walk with the hash in the pouring rain yesterday evening! Think the ITBS may have been caused by my best friend, i.e. Max, when I did a 10k race with him a couple of weeks ago.
He is a very strong dog - he can pull me along at a good pace when I'm on a bike - and I always hold his lead in my right hand. In any event it's a good excuse to buy a bungee lead that canicross runners use.
No after effects from yesterday - don't know whether it was only a brisk walk rather than a run or it was the benefit of the knee strap. Will discuss with chiro today and - depending on what he says - will try something similar or a gentle jog today - it's like walking on eggshells!
'Running Injury Caused By Dog'...........
SDM - we've got rollers in the gym that are much more solid than the usual foam ones (super high density EVA rather than PE - have a look on www.foamrollers.co.uk). They hurt like hell but really do the job. Re the hash, would love to but won't make it back from work in time tonight. Also having a v easy pre-marathon week this week anwyay
On the injury front, have woken up this morning with a really painful foot - mostly outside of the foot at the base of the little toe joint. Any thoughts :? Almost too painful to touch. Ran on Sunday and it was fine, didn't run yesterday but played golf.

More reviews by SugarFreeSheila
See, I am loving this powder - and the funny thing is that I almost never wear powder at all. The way I'm using it isn't as its own foundation, but as a final step after airbrush foundation - which anyone who's used it knows it covers nothing, but is great for evening out skin tone. The Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup makes for a very nice, matte (but not dry), flawless finish. No kidding; it's after dinner, the night is set to freeze, I'm in white fleece sweats, & my colorist called me last night to reschedule this morning's touch-up appointment when I'm 8+ weeks out as it is ... yet I felt at least facially camera-ready after a touch of this powder. Ooh, and it's going to come in very handy in the summer. By the way, I wear sunscreen instead of primer, and (European version, not Canadian) La Roche-Posay Anthélios SPF 30 spray & Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation 200 Light Beige go great under this. I would say the lightest shade 200 of this foundation & the lightest shade of the Colorstay Aqua pretty much match.

I have no idea why I bought this product. It seemed to be a good idea in the store.
The packaging is nice and the sensation when applying is also pleasant. There is not a lot of product for the price and the coverage is very minimal.
Now the really bad thing about this is the glitter. It has sooo much glitter in it! This maybe good for people with even and smooth skin, but not for me! I would suggest to put some on the back of your hand and go out into the sun to see if you like it or not. I think it looks horrible.
I think I will use this sometimes as a highlighter because of all the shimmer, just so I don't have to throw it in the rubbish. I would never use this as a foundation.
I really wanted to like this foundation, as I like Revlon and mineral makeup. Sadly it was not meant to be. First, for a powder with aqua in its name, it is not at all hydrating. As others mentioned it does feel "wet" when you first brush it on, but it definitely highlighted dry areas on my skin and looked obviously powdery and cakey. It was ok after using a strong moisturizer, but still not great. It also doesn't cover very well either. You would have to put on a few layers to cover any imperfections, but that would make your skin look even drier and more powdery. I can't really speak to the staying power of the makeup as it didn't really seem to do that much to begin with. The sparkles in it didn't bother me as they were pretty subtle and I like a more "dewy" finish anyway. The container was pretty standard for mineral makeup. The holes in the sifter were a bit big and I got a large pile of the powder on top of it after a short while, but that seems to happen to me with every brand. In theory I liked the little brush that clicks into the cap as it seems great for travel, but the brush is too small and flat to do much. This works all right as a setting powder for other foundations so I'll probably use it for that, but I definitely wouldn't buy it for that reason.
I got this a few weeks ago. I always wait until the weekend to try new makeups in case something goes wrong. When I am getting ready for work, I dont have the time to fix failed makeup. Ive used this a few times now, and Im glad I waited and took the time to apply because it takes some practice and getting used to. I really didnt want it to fail because I love mineral makeup and the idea of a hydrating one just sent my mind into the thought of perfection in makeup for me. So heres my thoughts on it; I used a primer (I always do) as I feel it helps with the application and longevity of all makeup. If you want more coverage than just evening of the skin tone you will need to use a concealer. Again, I use concealer no matter what makeup Im using. Application is sort of interesting with this one. Like most mineral makeups, layering is key if you want coverage, but because this one applies wet (the brush even becomes damp once you apply this) you will need to let it dry in between applying another layer. For example, after applying to my cheeks, I will move on to my forehead and then come back to my cheeks if I want more coverage. Speaking of application, I tried my typical mineral makeup brush, which I dont feel was sufficient. Surprisingly, the brush it comes with works really well because its synthetic, I believe. The finish of this is very, very natural looking, like you are wearing no makeup. Its luminous, but not shiny. Like others stated, it feels wet and cooling when youre applying, although I question how hydrating it really is, though I dont think its drying. Love that it has SPF. Would definitely repurchase.
The packaging is nice and really convenient. I really like how i comes with a retractable brush. When I applied the powder to my face it had this really nice cooling sensation but the coverage is very thin and just barely covered the redness on my face. The reason for the low rating is because there is a load of shimmer in the powder. It's kinda weird to walk around looking like a disco ball.
I am not into mineral foundations at all - but I thought this would be a great finishing powder. I apply it under my eyes, over my concealer - #60 is the shade I chose - a little dark for me - but it is really smooth and not chalky at all. I love it! Revlon products continue to impress me!

This is a good powder foundation. I liked how it felt cold & wet when it applied. I love the attached brush. Really nice. It has tons of sparkle to it. I noticed it more when it was on my hand than when it was on my face.
This feels AMAZING when I put it on my skin! It's so cooling and moisturizing :)
Unfortunately, that's the only good thing about this "foundation". It gives little coverage with A LOT of shimmer and is way too expensive for a drugstore product. The packaging would be great for traveling ... if the brush worked well.
I do use this over my liquid foundation because the 'aqua' aspect of the product is good for my dry skin. I wouldn't use this alone because my skin has a bunch of red patches all over. It would work as a foundation for someone with pretty good skin.
More reviews by MakeUpIsFabulous
I really liked this foundation. It gave me coverage through out the day and made my skin look smooth. Really liked the way it looked. It gave me shimmer but not disco ball shimmer.
I am devastated that this product is replacing the regular ColorStay Mineral powder foundation, which I have been using since soon after it came out.
The foundation looked good from a distance, but from close up, it emphasized all the pores on my nose and the apples of my cheeks. The shiny aspect of the powder made matters worse. It looked liked there was paint on my face. Just horrible. I've already returned it.
The packaging is an improvement on the regular ColorStay Mineral Powder, although I don't think that the jar can be opened, so transferring it could be a problem.
Overall, a huge disappointment.

British-based but selling worldwide with the help of partners such as Faber (UK) and Random House (US/Canada), our mission is to produce books that appeal to everyone, from post-Dr Who and Xbox fans to long-time genre enthusiasts. We are a part of Watkins Media Ltd, an ever-expanding group of media companies who work with new ways of delivering entertainment to readers, viewers and players.
In April 2011, Lauren Beukes' novel Zoo City won the Arthur C Clarke Award, the highest honour in British science fiction. October 2011 saw founder and publisher Marc Gascoigne honoured with a World Fantasy Award for Angry Robot. More recently, our authors and/or novels have won the Hugo Award, Prometheus Award and more.
