Dr. Felix Odartey-Wellington: The Compelling Story of Ghanaian-born Lawyer & Professor
Dr. Felix Odartey-Wellington: The Compelling Story of Ghanaian-born Lawyer & Professor
The story of Ghanaian-born Dr. Felix Nii Lartey Odartey-Wellington is a compelling one that provides ample motivation and impetus to succeed in spite of the odds. Born into a military family, Felix lost his father, Maj.-Gen. Neville Alexan-der Odartey-Wellington, who was commander of the Ghanaian Army, at a very young age in the military uprising of 1979. Through all the attendant challenges of living under a repressive military government, he remained resilient, un-deterred and focused on his goals and aspirations even at that tender.
With the support of his family, especially, his mother, who spared no effort in ensuring he (and his siblings) received the best education, he completed his primary and secondary education though with some challenges. Felix readily recalls how difficult it was in those volatile times being denied the opportunity to attend some government-run primary schools due to the circumstances that led to the tragic loss of his father "It was very difficult in those heady days," he stated to African Immigrant referring to the uncertainty and uneasiness that persisted in the wake of the military revolt.
After completing secondary school, Felix realized he could not pursue his ambition of a military career in Ghana, because in the view of the authorities, he posed a security threat, again due to the circumstances that led to his father's death. Invariably, he turned his attention to higher education and earned a Bachelor of Law Degree from the prestigious Ghana School of Law in Accra and a BA (Honours) in Political Science and Law from the University of Ghana (Legon). While in university, Felix inadvertently ventured into student politics, serving as General-Secretary of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) in 1996, against his earlier resolve to stay clear for personal reasons. He noted, "I saw politics as a force for good, hence my involvement with NUGS, during a turbulent political period which determined the future of higher education in Ghana"
After completing his studies at the Ghana School of Law, he went into broadcasting, working at Choice Radio and Ghana TV. This provided an avenue to espouse his political views and speak against some of the repressive policies of the government of the day. While in broadcasting, he also practiced law as a criminal defense attorney, giving him a wider platform to advocate on behalf of those victimized by the state. He credits prominent Ghanaian human rights lawyer and presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo for boosting his legal career."Akufo-Addo gave me a job in his law firm, Akufo-Addo, Prempeh and Co, and made a lawyer out of me when I did not know what law career was", Felix intimated. Despite enjoying a successful legal practice however, he decided it was time for a change and relocated to Canada. "My sister Dorothy, who is an academic in Canada, was hugely responsible for this move. My political commentary in the media had brought me some unwanted attention by the Ghanaian state security apparatus, including a spell in detention in 2000, and she encouraged me to pursue graduate studies to cool off," he explained.
With a degree in law, he was drawn to media studies and "compelled" as he put it, to "regularize" his relationship with the discipline. "I loved working in the media but the media was the mistress and Law was the wife, so I decided to pursue graduate studies in Communications to regularize my media relationship," he said exposing his witty disposition. Accordingly, he enrolled in Concordia University's media studies program, well known for its critical communication orientation and earned his masters in media studies. Moving to the nation's capital, Ottawa, he worked at the Ghana High Commission during the tenure of His Excellency Mr. Samuel Odoi-Sykes, who prevailed on him to consider PHD studies. He heeded the wise counsel of the seasoned politician and diplomat whom he regarded as a mentor and enrolled in Toronto's innovative York-Ryerson Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture , earning his PhD in Communication and Culture.
Through hard-work and persistence, Felix, who pursues a strong social justice-themed research program, especially, in the area of race and media, has, in a relatively short time, distinguished himself in his discipline with several scholarly works to his credit. He is considered an expert in Canadian broadcasting policy and regulation. He also recently co-authored "Never Say Die: The Autobiog-raphy of a Ghanaian Statesman," the critically acclaimed autobiography of prominent Ghanaian politician Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe. He is also co-author of the book, "The CTRC and Broadcasting Regulations in Canada."
Currently a professor of Communication at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, Felix finds time outside of his academic pursuits, to serve in his community as the Public Affairs Representative of the Cape Breton Highlanders, a Canadian Armed Forces Reserve regiment with a history dating back to the 19th Century. Just last year, he was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work with the High-landers. He and his wife Kokui consider the Highlanders to be their family in Cape Breton.
Felix readily admits that his Canadian journey has not been easy, but for his unassailable tenacity to succeed and the unwavering support of his family. "I really benefitted from my sister's advice and help, because she was able to draw on her own rich immigrant experience in Canada to guide me. That made a difference between success and failure for me, " he stated.
When asked what advice he has for his fellow African Immigrants who face numerous institutional challenges, the communication professor aptly offered this perspective "I guess I may be biased, but I think we need to take more ad-vantage of academic and trade training programs that make us attractive in the job market. It requires some delayed gratification, but guarantees sustainable career prospects. There are no short cuts, really."

Dec 12, 2007
By Bryan Lutgen "bd180"
This product makes cross stitching so easy! Unlike the cirles that hold your fabric together that leaves lines in your work, the scrollframe makes it so you don't get those lines. Plus, this kit fits most sizes of needlework. It comes with different size dowels and it is very easy to assemble. As you work you can scroll the backing up or down to get where you need to. Right now I have two different projects going at the same time. Plus, the price of this scroll frame is perfect. If you were to go to a craft store you would be spending at least 30 bucks to get a good quality scroll frame. The difference is, this one makes different sizes. The ones in the stores that I found only do one size so you would have to buy more. This is definetly worth every penny.

Very Good. Could use a few improvements.
Apr 17, 2013
By New Mum "Sarah M."
First, I really do like this frame set. The rod length and spanner combinations have been perfect for me. I actually got a second set of frames just so I could have multiple projects running without having to take the frame completely apart. I use these with the lap stand that F.A. Edmunds also makes.
There are two areas I would see as problems and need improvement.
1 - The set includes wing nuts to tighten down the screws at the corners for the frame and they are difficult to use. This is what you use to keep the scroll rod from moving whilst you're working. I found that it was really difficult to get them tight enough to do this with the wing nuts. I'm a fairly young person with good strength in their hands. If I had trouble I can only imagine what problems someone older than me with weaker fingers would have.
F.A. Edmunds sells some big black plastic nobs you can sub in for the wing nuts; I picked up a set as soon as I found them. They make using this frame SO much easier and my fingers are thankful for the change. I'd say the company should seriously consider taking out the wing nuts and just selling the frame kits with the large, easier to use knobs instead.
2 - I feel like the corners don't get tight enough on one side.
Each scroll rod is sliced down the middle for your material until it's about an inch or so shy from one end. On that end the frame gets nice and tight and the rods never move. On the other end, where there's the split, the rods often move a little meaning I sometimes have to stop and tighten my fabric up again. It was MUCH worse when I was using the wing nuts the set came with. Once I switched out to the black knobs I was able to get the screws tighter and haven't had nearly the same issues.
I'd really recommend this set. I've seen similar scroll frame sets in stores like Joann Fabric and this one is a higher quality set by far. Besides swapping out the wing nuts I think you'd be pleased with the set.

Review Change
Jul 27, 2008
By Larry Tomaw
I just received a contact from the owner of this company. Not only did she refund my money but REQUESTED THAT I NOT RETURN THE KIT. I still do not care for the kit but THIS COMPANY HAS SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO TRY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. i WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE STAR RATING TO 4 BUT AM UNABLE TO DO SO IN THIS EDIT.
I ordered this kit and it was received in about 5 days. Then my trouble began. This is a kit with split dowels through which you pass your canvas then it is tightened. The longer dowels were 1/16" smaller (doesn't sound like much)and fit too loosely. The side stablilizers could not be tightened enough to hold the canvas.
Another thing, small wing nuts are used as tighteners and, as a senior, caused pain to my hands when trying to screw them tightly. When I tightened the stabilizers, it caused the cross pieces holding the canvas to bow and the canvas slipped out of the center area.

Not Easy to Use
Jan 15, 2012
By redhat
I purchased the FA Edmunds stitching stand and the scroll frame set to go with it. I'm very happy with the stand but not quite as happy with the scroll frames. The bars of the frame have slits in them where you insert your fabric. I thought this would be easier and faster than having to stitch the fabric to the frame and it is but it is hard to keep the fabric straight. After you slide in the top and attempt to do the same with the bottom, everything shifts. This makes it hard to keep your fabric aligned straight which is important. It takes a bit of back and forth. Once everything is set, it's OK but it isn't as convenient as I had thought it would be.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Suit Up And Begin The Hunt! EA And Crytek Launch Crysis 3 – The Premiere Action Game Of The Season
Get ready to become the deadliest hunter on the planet. Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and award-winning developer Crytek GmbH announced that Crysis 3, the only game that arms players with the superpowers of the series' signature Nanosuit, is available now at retail stores and Origin.com. Powered by Crytek's proprietary CryENGINE®, Crysis 3 is celebrated by critics for its unparalleled visuals, dynamic tactical gameplay and its deep multiplayer suite. Crysis 3 launches with strong reviews from the world's top game critics, among them: 92% from GameStar Germany, 9 out of 10 from GameTrailers, 90% from CD Action in Poland, 85% from Games Master in the UK and a 9 out of 10 from Multiplayer.it in Italy. Additionally, the New York Daily News has stated that Crysis 3 is "the most beautifully and technically marvelous video game to date", giving the game a perfect 5 star review.
Retailers around the world are also getting ready for this week's big launch, with Bob Puzon, Vice President of Merchandising at GameStop stating that " Crysis 3 is tracking to exceed Crysis 2, making it the biggest launch in the franchise history."
"With its exciting combination of sandbox gameplay, intense tactical warfare and powerful weapons including the signature Nanosuit, Crysis 3 delivers the best of what the Crysis franchise is known for and is the pinnacle of the series," stated Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. "By leveraging the power of CryENGINE we are able to create a Crysis 3 experience that is not only visually stunning but also rich in gameplay and narrative, complete with an enhanced multiplayer suite that will provide fans plenty of fun beneath the Liberty Dome of NYC."
Developed by Crytek and powered by the proprietary cutting edge CryENGINE technology, Crysis 3 is the next installment in the award-winning Crysis franchise. The series is known for its spectacular visuals, dynamic, open gameplay and its signature Nanosuit that grants players unique powers to assess, adapt and attack in any situation. In Crysis 3, players return to the fight as Prophet on his quest to save mankind. Set in New York, the city has been encased in a Nanodome that has turned this once thriving metropolis into a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the 7 Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and strategies, including the enhanced Nanosuit which provides players a tactical advantage. In addition to the powerful Nanosuit, players wield the devastating Predator bow and cutting-edge alien weaponry to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.Crysis 3 also contains a robust multiplayer experience featuring 12 visually stunning maps and eight heart-pounding gameplay modes including the all new Hunter mode. An asymmetrical, time based mode, Hunter mode pits 2 players vs. 10 (2 vs. 14 on PC) in matches that begin with two cloaked hunters stalking 10 opposing CELL troopers. Armed only with enhanced Nanosuits and the lethal Predator bow, hunters must systematically stalk and kill the CELL operatives, who in turn must work together as a team as they fight to stay alive before the round ends. The twist is that once a CELL trooper is killed, that player will then respawn as a hunter, joining the others in their attempt to eliminate the remaining CELL operatives before the clock strikes zero. Crysis 3 multiplayer will also feature the debut of the New York Feed, a brand new in-game social feed that will showcase the accomplishments of gamers and their friends while offering dynamic challenges to complete.

Syrian journalist killed in Lebanon
Assassination latest in series of attacks on Assad supporters
Fatima, right, daughter of Mohammed Darrar Jammo, a Syrian political analyst who was gunned down inside his home on Wednesday, is comforted by a relative as she mourns her father in the southern coastal town of Sarafand, Lebanon, on Wednesday.
BEIRUT (AP) — Gunmen burst into the first floor apartment of a pro-government Syrian journalist Wednesday, killing him in a hail of nearly 30 bullets in a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon.

The Seven Year Itch fashioned a classic American romantic comedy around the notion that after seven years of marriage, a spouse's interest in a monogamous relationship starts to wane. The premise of the Marilyn Monroe film made for some great laughs and iconic images, but it was not pure fancy. A lot of studies over time have shown that the average length of a first marriage is about seven or eight years.
There is an interesting parallel in politics; specifically, the life span of one-party regimes, though in this case we might call it the "70-year itch." The U.S.S.R. is a prime example. By the time Mikhail Gorbachev took command of the Soviet Union in 1985, the rot in the Soviet system, and the corresponding decline of its legitimacy, were well advanced. "Interest in the marriage" had long since begun to wane. Gorbachev's efforts to revive it with political opening and economic reform (glasnost and perestroika) only enabled the marriage to break up peacefully. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the Communist Party had been in power for a little more than 70 years. Similarly, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled in Mexico from its founding in 1929 until its defeat in the 2000 elections—71 years.
Several of today's remaining one-party authoritarian regimes have been in power 50 to 65 years, and there is good reason to think that they, too, are now facing the "70 year itch." Part of the problem is that revolutionary one-party regimes like those in China, Vietnam, and Cuba cannot survive forever on the personal charisma of their founding leaders. Mao and Ho Chi Minh are long since gone, along with all the other leaders of the revolutionary founding generation, and in Cuba the Castro brothers are in their final years.
A more basic issue is that these regimes have a tough time achieving what Max Weber called the "routinization of charisma" because of a dilemma that confronts all modern dictatorships. They are damned if they perform and damned if they don't. Once the revolutionary fervor of the founding period fades, the only means they have to establish their legitimacy is through successful performance—in essence, economic development. If they do not perform, then they may stagger on for some time with raw coercion and external assistance (liked that which North Korea gets from China, and Cuba from the Soviet Union and now Venezuela). But such external dependence leaves them highly vulnerable, and performance failure drives growing societal alienation and defection, as we are seeing now in North Korea and Cuba.
However, if, as in Vietnam and especially China today, authoritarian regimes do "deliver the goods" of development, they face—as the PRI did in Mexico—a different dilemma. It is impossible to create a middle-class society without eventually generating middle-class values and middle-class organizations. Poring over attitudinal surveys, Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel showed in their 2005 book, Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy, that "socioeconomic development tends to propel societies in a common direction … regardless of their cultural heritage." With rising education and incomes and growing access to information, people become more tolerant of diversity, more demanding and assertive, and more willing to protest. Their value priorities shift from seeking material gain and security to seeking choice, self-expression, and "emancipation from authority." Closely intertwined with this psychological shift is the rise of a civil society—of independent organizations and flows of information, opinion and ideas. These psychological and social changes undermine the legitimacy of authoritarian rule and generate favorable conditions for a political transition to democracy.
This is the historic social transformation that is now under way in China. It is fortunate for China and the world that the China is approaching the "70 year itch" after a period of authoritarian success rather than failure. More than three decades of breathtakingly rapid economic growth have lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and have created a society and economy much better able to implement democracy than would have been in the case if China had remained mired in North Korean-style poverty, stagnation, and totalitarianism. Moreover, as charitable, environmental, and other organizations gain autonomy from the party and state, as people spread critical opinions on blogosphere, and as protest movements organize against environmental degradation, corruption, and other abuses, the Chinese are gradually learning the arts and skills of citizenship.
However, it is only at the weakly organized level of society that any preparation for democratic change is taking place. Many had hoped that China's recent leadership succession—which replaced the stolid conservative Hu Jintao with the seemingly worldly and upbeat Xi Jinping—would inaugurate a badly needed and much-delayed process of political reform. But within months of Xi's accession to the presidency in March, those hopes had been dashed. Xi and his six colleagues on China's super-powerful Politburo Standing Committee have wasted no time in signaling that their aim is to preserve political control and double down on ideology. In a bizarre quest to graft innovation on to anachronism, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is preparing to supply millions of its members with special cell phones that will instantaneously deliver the latest ideological instructions and propaganda themes while enforcing better "discipline" among increasingly decadent and corrupt party officials.

One bedroom with a NY loft bed
from £151 /night help
Apartment | 1 bedrooms | sleeps 4
|Key Info
On the second floor (US) up a few steps from the street, is a studio/one bedroom. (A one bedroom is off a large kitchen/living space,which has an additional sleeping area.) Although located near "the action" in Chelsea, this apartment is away from the street in the back of the building, with two tall windows in the bedroom. Great for a solo traveler, couple even four adults.
Air-conditioned, with internet and cable TV.
Sleeps up to four persons, no pets, no smoking, please.
No minimum stay.
Chelsea is a neighborhood on the West Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The district's boundaries are roughly 14th Street to the south, 30th Street to the north, the western boundary of the Ladies' Mile Historic District – which lies between the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) and Seventh Avenue – to the east, and the Hudson River and West Street to the west. To the north of Chelsea is the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, also known as "Clinton," to the northeast is the Garment District, to the east are NoMad and the Flatiron District, to the southwest is the Meatpacking District and to the southeast is the West Village.[3]
Chelsea is divided between Manhattan Community Board 4 and Manhattan Community Board 5. It contains the Chelsea Historic District and its extension, which were designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1970 and 1981, respectively,[4] and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, expanded in 1982 to include contiguous blocks containing particularly significant examples of period architecture.
The neighborhood is primarily residential, with a mix of tenements, apartment blocks, city housing projects, townhouses and renovated rowhouses, and its many retail businesses reflect the ethnic and social diversity of the population. The western part of Chelsea has become a center of the New York art world, with many art galleries located in both new buildings and rehabilitated warehouses.
Subway Stations
N,Q,R,W to Union Sq. | F,L,V to Sixth Ave. | 1,2,3 to 14th St. | A,C,E,L to Eighth Ave.-14th St. | 1 to 18th St. | 1 to 23rd St. | F,V to 23rd St. | R,W to 23rd St. | C,E to 23rd St. | 1 to 28th St. | R,W to 28th St.
The far west side of Chelsea—New York's premier contemporary-art district—was an edgy, semi-industrial patch before it was colonized by adventurous gallerists in the 1990s. Increasingly blue chip, it is now home to such high-profile spaces as Gagosian Gallery, Gladstone Gallery and Haunch of Venison. The development of the High Line has brought more visitors to the formerly desolate area. The verdant, elevated promenade commands great views of the surrounding architecture—a mix of industrial landmarks and gleaming new structures—and passes through the old loading dock of the former Nabisco factory, which now houses the eateries and shops of Chelsea Market. While the Chelsea gay scene has become commercialized and, to the younger set, passé, there are still some worthwhile watering holes, eateries and shops, and flea market aficionados can peruse vestiges of a sprawling hub for antiques and bric-a-brac.

How to get the most out of your smartphone when it comes to gaming
Smartphone gaming is incredibly popular all around the world and smartphones themselves have become much more powerful with the ability to play much more complex games. You can play anything from a space shooter game with lots of graphics to online blackjack where every move could mean winning the jackpot or losing it all. So which phone will allow you to do the most when playing games?
If you are in Apple fan then fear not because the latest iPhone is still one of the best phones on the market for playing games as well as many other things. This is because, like every iPhone, they designed both the operating system and the phone to work together seamlessly to create a smooth experience that everybody can enjoy, including gamers.
Everyone knows that power is incredibly important when playing games as your phone needs to be able to render everything. Screen space is also incredibly important as you need to be able to see everything that is happening in the game in order to play the game. For this reason you might want to look at the Samsung Galaxy note 3 as it has a 5.7 inch screen which is larger than the Nexus five.
If you don't want to splash out on a mega expensive phone then the Moto G is perfect. It has a modern design and has a strong battery life. The screen is 4.5 inches and you can even buy different shells for the phone to match whatever outfit you want to wear. With so many choices on the smartphone market it is definitely worth checking out which is best for all your needs.

Nearly 14,000 deer harvested in Vermont in 2012The Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER - The state Fish and Wildlife Department says Vermont deer hunters successfully harvested nearly 14,000 deer in 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
The totals reflect archery, youth, rifle and muzzleloader harvests.
Officials say last winter's relatively mild weather and shallow snow depths likely contributed to this fall's elevated deer harvest.
The low availability of traditional food sources such as apple orchards and beech and oak stands this past summer and fall also resulted in deer changing their movement patterns.
The department says one of the biggest increases was in archery, which rose 25 percent, to 3,384 deer.MORE IN This Just InHAVANA Daniela Martinez long figured that someday she would leave the struggles of daily life...

Top Local Tips for Vilamoura
I feel like chicken tonight! There are loads of places to eat piri piri chicken around Quarteria but there are some great ones on the road towards Almanicil. Marufo's has 2 restaurants facing each other either side of the road just out of quarteira. A bit further along towards almanicil is Senor Frangos. They are all very reasonable on price but Senor Frangos is just that little bit more upmarket with a better atmosphere. If you want a good pint of Guiness locally drive to Quinta shopping and goto the Melting pot pub for a sundowner. THere is a nice square here which is great for the kids to play!

MISDShort for multiple instruction, single data. A type of parallel computing architecture that is classified under Flynn's taxonomy. Each processor owns its control unit and its local memory, making them more powerful than those used in SIMD computers. Each processor operates under the control of an instruction stream issued by its control unit: therefore the processors are potentially all executing different programs on different data while solving different sub-problems of a single problem. This means that the processors usually operate asynchronously. [Source: Tommesani]

What kinds of indoor activities does your DC enjoy?
My DD LOVES being outdoors, and I take her to the parks and playgrounds several times a week to get out some energy, but it is just not possible for me to go every single day, and she sometimes gets bored when we are home.
She has crayons and coloring books; a collection of her favorite movies on DVD; plenty of toys. Sometimes we bake and decorate cupcakes, paint our nails, or I let her play in the bathtub for a while with bubbles and bath toys.
But I need more ideas!
I amĀ23 weeksĀpregnant and also have a 15 month old, so I do not always have the energy or time to play outside as much as she would like, especially when it's really hot outside!! She just hasĀSO much more energy than I do.

Gossip Girl Burning Question: What's With the Ring?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Is the much-talked about ring on Blair's necklace, as seen in select photos emerging from the NYC set of Gossip Girl this summer, symbolic of the state of Chair's relationship (that they're together but apart, for now)?
We've all seen the Chuck-Blair sex promo by now (if not, you are missing out), so we know the two are on good terms. What's with the ring, though? Is it a harbinger of even better things to come for Chair?
E! Online reports that ... we don't know right now. But we will soon!
Regarding whether it is in fact a wedding band and symbol of Chair's pact, we will "definitely will find out what that's all about in the first episode back." Until then, let the speculation and theories fly in the comments!
On an unrelated note, expect another of B's relationships to play a key role this fall.
Regarding Blair and Serena's oft-strained friendship, the producers really want to bring that back to being "front and center, just like in season one." Now that's something we don't expect a lot of argument about.
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Spoilers
i think that they have such chemistry on screen that there has to be something there since this is the last season maybe they will realize that if they want to kiss and hook up they will have to give a relationship a chance westwick seems like her really has feelings for her when he talks about her and the kind of chemistry they have i think should be explorded hopefully they will figure it out on the final season CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW SEASON but SUPER SAD when IT ACTURALLY DOES because it MEANS THE END
come on westwick you really should ask leighton out there are many signs that you acturally could really like her i just think no one should give up a chance to be with someone especially since your chemistry looks like it could mean so much more if tv fanatic interviews him for the final season i would so mention this
I really hope Chuck and Blair are not engaged. The season ended with Chuck basically telling Blair that he was done fighting for her. So, she decided to step up and work for his love. Which is great and all in a soap opera, but it is a very poor reflection on real life. You don't just break up with someone that you cared about (yes, she did care for Dan, she admitted it herself even if she didn't quite love him yet) and move on to your on and off manfriend. I used to love Chuck and Blair so much, but unless this show fast forwards a year or so, they will never convince me that Chuck and Blair can be a forever thing. Timing is key to any relationship and the show has botched all Chair timings. And Blair as a character.
Ggfab, i don't think DB will be friends, and I didn't buy their sudden/forced 'friendship' in s4/5. I want them to go back to their s1&2 dynamic or not interact at all. After season 5, I've had to stomach enough, thank you :P
chair are engaged ... finaly so dan needs to back off
Dan and Blair only dated for few months.. Speed bump. That ring is THE ring and CB are engaged
It's definitely an engagement ring. To be honest I want Dan far away from Blair in Season 6 until we're sure his feelings are platonic. What Blair and Dan had can easily fade away and they can be friends like Nate and Blair.
B, she wears a fake one a lot, but I think it's just a cheap placeholder for the HW :)
um duh, she's engaged or something...but I'm sure it will be some complicated BS because the writers always to that with CB...at least she's finally wearing the ring (in a way haha)
Well i think Chuck gave it to blair to remind her that she in his, And always will be.

Chartres Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral
Gothic architecture. The main part of this great cathedral was built between 1194 and 1220. It replaced a 12th-century church of which only the crypt, the base of the towers, and the western facade remain. Abandonment of the traditional tribune galleries and the use of a unique type of flying buttress allowed for a larger clerestory. Remarkable stained-glass windows and a Renaissance choir screen add to its beauty.

Top gifts for mom
As Mother's Day nears, take a look at some gift ideas to help make your mom's day special.
Yoga pants: Whether she's working out, taking a yoga class, or just lounging around, most moms would love to open up a new pair of yoga pants this Mother's Day.
Pajamas: Moms would love the opportunity to spend more time lounging around or sleeping in. Give mom a new pair of pajamas this year to help her get started. It might also give her an excuse to take a well-deserved nap.
Jewelry: Jewelry makes a nice gift for mom because let's face it, moms don't often splurge on themselves. Mother's Day is a great time to give mom that piece of jewelry she's had her eye on. It can also be a nice time to give your mom a sentimental piece of jewelry, either a bracelet with charms that reflect her interests, a ring featuring her children's birth stones, or a locket with a photo of her loved ones.
Spa day: Give your mom a day of relaxation by taking her to the spa. If your mom doesn't want to go to the spa, bring the spa to her by putting all of the spa necessities in a gift basket for her.
Gardening items: If your mom loves to garden get her some new plants, flowers and gardening tools. You could also offer to help your mom weed the garden and prune some plants.

Portage, Anchorage
Portage is a former settlement on Turnagain Arm in Alaska, about 47 miles (76 km) south of Anchorage.[1] The town was destroyed almost entirely in the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake when the ground in the area sank about six feet, putting most of it below sea level. All that remains today are the ruins of a few buildings and a "ghost forest" of trees that died after salt water inundated their root systems. Where there was once a town there is now only a railroad and road junction linking the Seward Highway and the Alaska Railroad to Portage Glacier park and the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, which leads to Whittier.[2]
Popular recreational activities in the Portage area include visiting the wildlife center, floating Portage, Twentymile, Placer rivers, Fishing for hooligan in the Twentymile river, and iceskating the numerous marshy areas, creeks, and Portage Lake.

Hi Michael,
I've noticed a very curious result of the treebagger, and was wondering if you have had experience with this.
I send a matrix X which has 5 columns of a variety of accounting data. I also send Y, which is a vector of credit ratings. I have about 3000 rows of data.
I understand that the bankruptcy academic community have done extensive research to determine optimal coefficients to predict bankruptcy. I thought it would be interesting to see what the impacts of the coefficients are on the bagging results. So I created a vector, coeff, and multiplied each row of X by the parameters in coeff.
for example: Altman's coefficients are {0.717 0.847 3.107 0.42 0.998}
Curiously, varying the coefficients has NO effect on the oobErrors. I've run exhaustive loops to vary all of the coefficients to track this down.
It seems like in the case of the limit where the coefficient goes to zero, there should be an effect.
thanks for any insights.
Thank you Michael for the clarification on the use of the predict vs oobPredict functions. I am aware of the benefits of the treebagger in automatically splitting the data, I just wanted to be able to see the individual bits.
Your point about the histogram is well taken, but I do think histograms have some value in seeing the data distribution before and after, even if it doesn't provide insight into the performance of the bagger. The various methods you highlighted in your code are great for this.
I am working with real credit data, so being a visual person, I like to see what the ratings distribution looks like at the beginning/end of the process. I should think it would be curious if the classified data had a completely different distribution.
Thanks again for your demo and webinar, I'm finding it incredibly helpful.
Hi Michael,
I am trying to add lines to the code to plot histograms of ratings for three sets of observations.
I would like to see three different histograms as a result of calling the treebagger: ground truth ratings, training ratings, predicted ratings.
Would you be able to confirm that I have implemented the code correctly and advise on the possibility of the 2nd? I have added my own data file with different ratings, but using the same ideas.
1) Ground Truth Ratings
2) Training Ratings
Can't seem to find the matrix that stores these ratings.
3) Predicted Ratings: Out-of-bag predictions made within the treebagger routine.
The documentation says that the routine automatically partitions the data as training and to be predicted.
Y_Pred = oobPredict(b);
Y_Pred_Num=ordinal(Y_Pred,[],{'AAA' 'AA+' 'AA' 'AA-' 'A+' 'A' 'A-'...
ylabel('Out of Bag Occurrences');
title('Out of Bag Prediction Results');
Thanks for your help!
Thank you for the tip on curly braces. It makes sense now. It's very interesting to be able to graphically see the various trees.
On a side note, perhaps I am overlooking some features of the standard MATLAB window to view the decision trees leaves, but it would be extremely helpful to be able to:
a) read all of the node/leaf labels. Some of them currently get overwritten.
b) cut/paste diagram so it could be manipulated/printed in powerpoint.
c) write in the window to make comments
This is a great demo! I am interested in "viewing" some of the individual decision trees generated by the treebagger function. When I look at
ans =
[1x1 classregtree]
the fact that this is associated with the classregtree leads me to believe that I should be able to call the "view" command on this variable. The Iris Data examples show this to be the case. For example:
a = b.Trees(1)
But I get an error statement:
??? Error using ==> view at 37
Invalid input arguments
Could you please advise if there is a way to plot individual decision trees as a result of the treebagger function?

It's been said that some people spend more time on choosing an automobile to purchase than they do on selecting a financial advisor. If that observation has a ring of truth to it, it may be because people are familiar with the daily driving experience and the ease of determining one's preferences. In contrast, financial management is a task that, for most people, involves decisions and considerations that they know little about. Similarly, they are ill equipped to assess the qualifications of those who seek to provide financial services.

If you've taken steps to protect those who depend upon you – such as obtaining life insurance, writing a will, or developing a trust – give yourself a pat on the back. If you haven't taken those steps, you should. Having a will and/or a trust helps to ensure that your hard-earned assets are distributed properly, and life insurance can help your spouse, children, and any other dependents meet their financial needs if you can't.

Pope Francis Says Priests Can Become 'Little Monsters,' In Call For Religious Order To 'Wake Up The World'
Pope Francis has warned that priests can become "little monsters," in an emphatic call for his religious order to "wake up the world."
The pontiff has said that if priests are not trained properly, they could be guilty of "the worst evils."
When would-be priests merely "grit their teeth, try not to make mistakes, follow the rules smiling a lot, just waiting for the day when they are told 'Good, you have finished formation… it is hypocrisy that is the result of clericalism, which is one of the worst evils," Francis was quoted as saying.
The training of priests, he said, must be a "work of art, not a police action," saying their time studying must be used to mold their hearts as well as their minds.
"Otherwise we are creating little monsters," he said. "And then these little monsters mold the people of God. This really gives me goose bumps," he was quoted as saying.
The pontiff made the comments during a closed-door meeting of 120 superiors of religious orders who gathered at the Vatican for their regular assembly, reported by the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica.
The magazine, which interviewed Francis last year, quoted the pope as telling the superiors he wants them to "wake up the world" with their work, particularly with the poor.
"Truly to understand reality we need to move away from the central position of calmness and peacefulness and direct ourselves to the peripheral areas," he said.
Francis also warned against accepting men for the priesthood who may have been implicated in sexual abuse or other problems, saying the protection of the Catholic faithful is most important, the Associated Press reported.
Though he's reaffirmed rules condemning abortion, contraception use and homosexuality, Francis has also called for church leaders to stop clinging so doggedly to those doctrines. He's instead urged officials to focus on extending compassion, inclusion and evangelisation.
Throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the the poor, the hungry! I encourage everyone to reflect on the problem of thrown away and wasted food to identify ways and means that, by seriously addressing this issue, are a vehicle of solidarity and sharing with the needy. Read more

Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules. God our Father did not give the task of caring for the earth to money, but to us, to men and women: we have this task! Instead, men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the "culture of waste." On World Environment Day
"Today, and it breaks my heart to say it, finding a homeless person who has died of cold, is not news. Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don't have food - that's not news. This is grave. We can't rest easy while things are this way." Read more
"A headline that really struck me on the day of the tragedy in Bangladesh was 'Living on 38 euros a month'. That is what the people who died were being paid. This is called slave labour." "Not paying fairly, not giving a job because you are only looking at balance sheets, only looking at how to make a profit. That goes against God!" Read more
Pope Francis waves to faithful upon his arrival at the Pontiff's residence of Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, Sunday July 14, 2013, in a Ford Focus. The down-to-earth Pope called for greater austerity from religious figures last week, saying, "It hurts me when I see a priest or nun with the latest-model car. You can't do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but, please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world." The Ford Focus is a compact car with a starting sticker price of just about $16,000. Read more
