"The Philosophy of Konyang University is "once Konyang University admits a student, it will be responsible for the student's employment as well as the student's graduation." - Hi-Soo, Kim, President of KonyangUniversity University - "Konyang University always concentrates on nurturing talented students who have not only upright character but also are skillful and creating opportunities for the students to fulfill their role in all areas of society. It has been exteriorized through IT technology in SharePoint Server based e-Portfolio system." - Young-Chan, Son, Assistant Manager -
In 2010, Konyang University was chosen as one of the Advancement of College Education provider. Konyang University submitted an innovative proposal with an extensive view consisting of not only curriculum and non-curriculum areas. Konyang University received great evaluation for its originality because it looked at the activities outside the classroom as an important education process and proposed a method to systematically organize and support these in the system called 'e-Portfolio'. In 2012, Konyang University's leadership in Cloud is expanding into public cloud. Currently in 2012, Konyang University is using Live@edu, Microsoft's public cloud server and it is proposing Hybrid Cloud, a new university informatization model. As a result, a lot of IT staffs of different universities have visited Konayng University to witness the advance model.
Konyang University, which faces its 20th anniversary in 2012, is a young university but its competency is just as strong as that of those prestigious universities with more than 100 years of traditions. In particular, Konyang University has significant presence in the academic field for its education innovation. Konyang University aggressively made its name known as a leader of education innovation in 2008 when it was chosen to participate in University Education Capacity Enhancement Project sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. As Konyang University was recognized for its efforts, it was selected as Excellent University in the University Education Capacity Enhancement Project. Then in 2010, Konyang University participated in the ACE(Advancement of Collage Education) project and was recognized domestically and internationally as an icon of education innovation.
The ACE project is a kind of challenge for Konyang University. Nationwide universities proposed differentiated strategies in order to participate in this project and the competition was fierce where only 11 universities were selected. The ACE project was promoted under an ambitious goal of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to move from research oriented policy to education oriented policy. Through the ACE project, the Ministry of Education Science and Technology had a plan of high standard to discover and expand advance model of 'university of quality education', so it paid close attention when selecting universities to sponsor. Amidst fierce competition, Konyang University submitted an innovative proposal consisting of an extensive view including both curriculum and non-curriculum areas and earned high evaluation scores.
Konyang University's proposal received high evaluation scores for its originality in looking at the activities outside classroom as an important education process and proposing a method to systematically organize and support these in a system called 'e-Portfolio'. From a technical perspective, e-Portfolio system is similar with career management system implemented by several universities to manage information such as, linguistics ability, acquisition of certificates (licenses) and volunteer work for supporting career or employment counseling. However, the system is completely different from a general career management system when considering how it was viewed and designed with which perspective. Young-Chan, Son, Assistant Manager, Team for Information & Communication at Konyang University said, "We wanted to put the student's actual campus life in the system. During the course of university life, students would submit assignments, take exams and participate in clubs or do volunteer work but there are no traces anywhere of such related materials. We planned e-Portfolio to create a space to hold various information that have passed through the hands of students during the course of their university life."
The method of technical approach is also significant different from that of the common career management system. Son added "Rather than putting all kinds of information on a well-knitted outline, we wanted to enable students to place pictures or write wherever they want just like on a white piece of drawing paper. To digitalize all users' offline activities, we decided to develop an easy to use system – used by anyone who can access Internet and use document editor."
Konyang University began its long journey of implementing e-Portfolio in 2010. It understood that e-Portfolio implementation is a challenge that does not end with a simple development but requires continuous advancement even after the end of ACE project. Son said, "Even after the official support of national project ends, we needed to add new level of usability every year during the period of ACE project in order to make e-Portfolio into a vital system that Konyang University cannot do without."
Konyang University selected LimeOrange.com as the main provider to develop e-Portfolio and aggressively began implementation. In the first year of promoting ACE project, it constructed the foundation of e-Portfolio and implemented services targeting students. First of all, it strengthened the foundation of account management with Active Directory. Then it completed the basic foundation of e-Portfolio through SharePoint Server 2010 and FAST Search to begin implementation.
The development focus of e-Portfolio was set on two perspectives to enable gathering data on Word and free editing by users rather than limited on pre-defined functions or data input/query screen. The first was to bring together data from various systems including academic administration system and the second was to enable Document Automation to generate these data into documents on pre-defined Word format. In particular, it was a great help in gathering e-Portfolio materials (pictures and videos) immediately through picture transmission functions using smartphones and Live@edu mail system. Byung-Geun, Kim, CEO, said, "Open XML adopted by Microsoft Office helps students to model the way to create portfolio "as is" and applying IT on the model. With Open XML, we were able to seamlessly implement document automation in connection with documents and various systems."
In 2011, the second year of the project, Konyang University expanded e-Portfolio as part of its curriculum. Its goal was to assign a role to e-Portfolio as a part of its LMS(Learning Management System). Son said, "Like our students, the teaching staffs had hidden desires about managing their own portfolios. So, in 2011, we promoted tasks to enable loading of lecture plans or materials onto e-Portfolio and seamlessly confirming all statistical information related to lectures on Word."
With the enhancement of curriculum portfolio, the teaching staffs immediately expressed positive response to e-Portfolio Kim said, "In the past, even basic statistics ㆍanalysis information such as, attendance, grade, lecture assessment had to be requested to the IT support team but now with teaching portfolio added to the e-Portfolio, the environment change to enable generation of related document in about 3seconds."
e-Portfolio became a strong system in all three axis of employment portfolio, reading ㆍcharacter portfolio, curriculum portfolio due to continuous advancement since its initial development in 2010. A noteworthy point together with this advancement is the utilization of SNS(Social Network Service). Konyang University enabled e-Portfolio users to register their interests as keywords when loading their personal profile in MySite and then induced natural communication through these keywords.
Son said, "For example, if a search was made with keyword 'embedded" then a list of people who are on campus and can either provide advice or research cooperation will be provided. Users can select from the search results and go to the MySite of the person who registered the relevant keyword to leave comments and receive responses through SNS channels, enabling natural exchange."
Rising as Mecca of 'Campus Cloud'
Konyang University's e-portfolio proposed a model of how to realize the possibility of cloud in campuses. Konyang University students do not store official linguistic exam results, certificates, campus club or volunteer work on their PCs. They would store the reports they submitted during the course of their university life, various awards and grades in their own portfolio document, which is automatically generated in e-Portfolio.
This document can be viewed and revise as users please from PCs or tablets or smartphones with Internet access. Users can revise information on their way to school with smartphones, and their revision will be reflected when they open documents with tablets in the classroom.
The meaning of e-Portfolio is significant in that it proposed the agenda that campus cloud should take. Kim said, "The importance of documents is great in the education field of Korea. The cloud model that allows all activities including data uploading and sharing as well as confirming all results on the Web is good but it is more realistic to enable access to various information in document format." He also added, "Konyang University's e-Portfolio is very suggestive in that it offers document automation enabling other universities to look at campus cloud from a new perspective."
Cloud perfect for employment guide and support
The individual portfolio document of each student is a great help in employment, too. Konyang University enabled its students to generate documents of their portfolios with QR code, storing a huge amount of information in one piece of document. By converting documents with information from each student's individual portfolio, university employment center or professor can acquire in-depth information about the student in one place by reading the QR code on one piece of document through smartphones when making recommending the student to companies.
Hi-Soo, Kim, President of Konyang University said, "The Philosophy of Konyang University is "once Konyang University admits a student, it will be responsible for the student's employment as well as the student's graduation'. Konyang University always concentrates on nurturing talented students who have not only upright character but also are skillful and creating opportunities for the students to fulfill their role in all areas of society. It has been exteriorized through IT technology in SharePoint Server based e-Portfolio system."
New link of Industry-University
Konyang University plans to utilize e-portfolio developed as a business challenge for Advancement of College Education in its LINC(Leaders in Industry-University Cooperation) business. The shareholders in education area pay close attention to Konyang University's movement since it has performed the national project with the coherent approach.
Son said, "Sincerity is an important factor in promoting national business. Usually when the business support ends, the results such as the relevant developed IT system would get buried. e-Portfolio is positioned as a vital system that we cannot do without even after official support had ended and we plan to use it for integrated management and sharing of various results from the cooperation between companies and students in the LINC business."
Expansion of Campus Cloud to Social Networks
Konyang University's e-Portfolio environment is expected to increase its usefulness as it meets with Live@edu, the public cloud service of Microsoft. Konyang University deployed Live@edu in 2012 and was able to provide enrolled students as well as graduates with free lifelong mail address that is based on its campus address. Son said, "One of the oldest concerns of Konyang University is loss of contact with students after they graduate. Now by using the lifetime family system network(SNS:Kyspace) and Live@edu's email, we expect that enrolled students, graduates and the school can always exchange news as well as receive and provide help."

What counts as "Jewish art" is a debate as old as Judaism itself—do we mean art by Jewish people, art with Jewish themes, or both? And Jewish culture? Which one? Jews have as many cultures as we have communities in which we've lived, from the Ashkenazi world of klezmer music and Yiddish stories from Eastern Europe, to the rhythmic music of the Abayudaya Jews of Uganda, to the spicy foods of the Mizrachi communities in the Middle East.
We're fortunate that Boston offers a broad variety of Jewish artistic and cultural experiences, giving us opportunities to experience Judaism through many different lenses. Let this page be your guide to the Jewish books, music, film, performances, food, languages and more available in our community.

Distributed Opportunistic Scheduling With Two-Level Channel Probing
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Distributed Opportunistic Scheduling (DOS) is studied for wireless ad-hoc networks in which many links contend for the channel using random access before data transmissions. Simply put, DOS involves a process of joint channel probing and distributed scheduling for ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) communications. Since, in practice, link conditions are estimated with noisy observations, the transmission rate has to be backed off from the estimated rate to avoid transmission outages. Then, a natural question to ask is whether it is worthwhile for the link with successful contention to perform further channel probing to mitigate estimation errors, at the cost of additional probing.

Visioneer's Gallery: Richard Corman & Icons
Creating timeless prints for the new millennium
Richard Corman is a rare breed of photographer whose work varies widely in style and subject matter, yet it's always intensely focused on the human spirit. As a portrait photographer, Corman has worked with an iconic breadth of subjects, from Nobel Peace Prize recipients Nelson Mandela and James Dewey Watson to esteemed actors such as Robert De Niro, Paul Newman and Al Pacino. He also has worked with elite athletes who inspire greatness, like Muhammad Ali, as well as with writers and artists who have left an indelible mark, including Kurt Vonnegut, Basquiat and Noguchi.
A protégé of Richard Avedon, Corman has been capturing poignant moments of human triumph for over three decades, shooting with a Rolleiflex camera when he began to now creating portraits with state-of-the-art digital cameras. Humbling experiences with sociocultural projects and nonprofit organizations are reflected in Corman's photographs. Most notable is his heartfelt work with the Special Olympics, as he has been traveling the world and photographing these inspiring athletes for more than 20 years.
Corman has been at the forefront of pop culture for almost his entire career. In 1983, he captured a series of striking images with up-and-coming starlet Madonna as she was on the verge of releasing her debut album. The radical East Village of Manhattan was the backdrop to showcase Madonna's iconic fashion style, spontaneity and pioneering attitude. Rolling Stone refers to Corman's versatile body of work as "iconic." And filmmaker Ken Burns refers to Corman's work as "recording big moments and small, among the famous and ordinary and challenging larger truths relevant to all of us."

Corman once again finds himself at the forefront of a new wave, this time with technology. He's one of the first photographers in the world to print on the new HD C-Prints™ exclusively at Duggal. The new printer, located in Duggal's headquarters in New York City, features an unprecedented 6,100 apparent dpi, which is twice the resolution of other photographic prints, and far beyond all inkjet technologies that exist today.

Absolutely love them. The frosting is wonderful, and I've added it to lemon cupcakes or smores cupcakes and then used a kitchen torch on it. It's just fantastic. It will hold it's shape as well. I failed at the recipe the first two times I made it though, because I didn't get it to the right temperature, but once I hit that magic mark, I was headed for success. Have fun with it!~Holly

What are the benefits of anti-aging Stem cell therapies?
- Improvement of the cardiovascular system
- Boosting of the immune system
- Improved musculoskeletal system
- Anti-oxydation power
- Anti-stress function within the human cell
- Improvement of the cerebral & cortical functions
- Co-assist in the treatment of chronic and degenerative diseases.
The benefits will be noticeable within 2 to 3 weeks after the stem cell transplants. Patients can check this for themselves, based upon a renewed sense of wellbeing, they experience less fatigue and an overall better mood. Some of the tests regarding blood sugar and cholesterol will improve. Sick people should note that they are able to bring their sufferings under control. This procedure can be done up to 3 times a year, delivering even higher benefits.
How does such a stem cell transplant work?
The first day the Doctor specialized in stem cell transplants will receive the patient and perform a physical exam. He will again review the patient´s medical records and may order additional tests or screenings to be done on the same day. The next morning or the day thereafter, the patient will enter the clinc/hospital where according to his preference, he will be given local sedation or anesthesia from the waist down. Depending on the agreement between doctor and patient, stem cells are extracted from the patient´s peripheral blood or from his bone marrow, and sent to a specialized laboratory where it is processed. There the blood is centrifuged in cold to separate the different components; the stem cells are being separated from the other cells and purified. Once separated, the stem cells are suspended in plasma, and ready to be injected. In the meantime the patient can relax during the rest of the day and receive his meals. He is given an analgesic in case of pain but he remains conscious all along. The procedure – whereby the stem cells are being re-injected intravenously – is like receiving a mini-blood transfusion and only lasts 35 to 45 minutes. After the procedure the patient remains another 12 to 24 hours in the hospital to be monitored, in case of allergic reactions, which occur in only 2% to 3% of the patients. Since the stem cells come from the patient himself, there is no risk of rejection. When the patient leaves the hospital, we recommend him to take one day of relaxation before boarding his flight to go home. All in all such a rejuvenation therapy takes only 4 days in Guatemala City.
Are there any complications involved with anti-aging stem cell therapies?
By using adult stem cells from the own patient, there are no risks of rejection or adverse reactions.The only after effect would be a slight pain at the thigh, where the stem cells have been extracted from the bone marrow.
Is there an age limit for anti-aging stem cell therapies?
Usually people of 50 age onwards experience symptoms related to aging. However biological age is not always identical as chronological age. If a person is fit enough to fly to Guatemala, that person is a candidate for anti-aging, especially if that person suffers from underlying diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol or hypertension. A stem cell transplant will help those persons to better control their disease or improve their response to the disease.
What are the requisits prior to anti-aging stem cell therapies?
All medical records including: medical history, blood screenings (if needed: X-rays or MRI images) have to be forwarded minimum 10 days prior to the treatment, before an accurate assessment can be given to the patient as to which type of cell therapies is best suited for him. If medical records are older than 3 months, all relevant tests should be done in Guatemala, before the treatment
Is Stem cell therapy the same as cellular therapy?
NO, stem cell transplants are not to be confounded with cellular therapies or life cellular therapies, which are using animal cells – mainly from cattle – which are being administered to patients under the form of capsules, tablets, injections or vials (sometimes called anti-aging vaccines) The biggest problem with those cellular therapies is that they contain proteins and cells from other species, which are then prepared in a laboratory. All of these cells and derivatives of proteins with chemicals are sterilized and packaged into vials or pills, similar to any other medication. The American Cancer Society has strongly advised people not to seek this so-called cellular therapies. Cells from the organs of one species cannot replace the cells from the organs of other species. When foreign proteins are injected, the immune system attacks them. In addition, injections of animal cells can spread viral disease and trigger severe allergic reactions. When taken orally, animal cells are digested and are not absorbed intact into the body On the contrary, stem cell therapies are based on human cells, the stem cells are extracted from the patient' s body or from a compatible donor, the re-injection process is almost instantaneous, without the use of chemical components or cells from animal origin, hence eliminating the risk of rejection or adverse reactions.
How are we aging?
With aging, the cells of the body begin to decay. They lose their ability to regenerate and repair tissue. Changes begin to show on the skin; the internal organs such as the brain, heart, liver, kidneys and the sex glands, begin to lose their functional efficiency. At this point, you begin to look and feel aged. Aging also sets in a number of diseases like arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart complications, and even cancer. Most of them can be traced to deficiencies at the cellular level.

25 Pretty and Plush Pillows Under $50
My living room needed an overhaul, so recently we scraped together what we could to purchase two new sofas. They're my dream pieces, but their spare mid-century design screamed for a little adornment, and our investment left little in the way of a budget for throw pillows. Additionally, I forgot to account for the cost of what seemed to be simple decor items (often $100 or more) and the fact that I would need more than one! Fortunately for pillow shoppers on a budget, there's a plush supply of inexpensive options out there in a diversity of design styles. We've rounded up some of our favorites under $50 as well as some easy DIY ideas for sewers and non-sewers alike!

Featured news
Our findings illuminate a series of apparently targeted, sophisticated cyber-attacks deployed against WUC and affiliated organizations and individuals -- with a combination of social engineering and exploits through email (similar to spear phishing) -- over a period of four years.
Two volunteers at WUC provided more than 1,000 suspicious emails sent to more than 700 different email addresses from 2009-2013, including WUC leaders as well as:
- Journalists (including at AFP, CNN International, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and Reporters Without Borders)
- Politicians (including in the Socialist Party of the Netherlands and the Chinese Democratic Party)
- Academics (including at Penn State University, Howard University, Syracuse University, George
- Washington University and the Xinjiang Arts Institute China)
- Employees of other NGOs (including Amnesty International and Save Tibet - International Campaign for Tibet).
We found that the language and subject matter of malicious emails were intricately tailored to appear familiar, normal or friendly, with the sender impersonating someone else to lure the recipient into opening an attachment or URL: all hallmarks of social engineering.
The majority of the messages sent to WUC and others were in the Uyghur language, and about a quarter were in English. Emails were sent from compromised accounts inside the WUC organization or from email addresses that were a character or two off from the known email address to trick the eyes of the recipients.
The majority of these first-stage malware attacks were executed through attached documents (rather than. zip or .exe files) using recent but disclosed vulnerabilities that tend to evade common defenses. Interestingly, in November 2010 there was a marked shift from Adobe to MS Office documents coinciding with the addition of sandboxing technology to Adobe Reader and the public disclosure of a stack buffer overflow MS Office vulnerability.
Also, the malicious documents sent to WUC contained several different families or classifications of malware. More than 25% of this malware can be linked to entities that have been reported to engage in targeted attacks against political and industrial organizations, and Tibetan NGOs.
We tested existing AV software for effectiveness in detecting the attacks in the WUC emails shared with us. No single tool detected all of the attacks, and some attacks evaded detection from all of the antivirus scanners. Yet we found the attacks in the malicious documents to be quite similar to those used in other recent targeted attacks, rather than attacks using zero-day vulnerabilities.
Keep in mind, we were scanning these samples months or years after they had been deployed against WUC. Even so, standard anti-virus detection software was insufficient in detecting these targeted attacks despite their similarity to known threats because it relies on static signatures rather than malicious behavior profiling.

Defeated but not disgraced
Pakistan offspinner Saeed Ajmal has said the pain of losing the semi-final of the ICC World Twenty20 to Australia still lingers, having bowled the last over which conceded the game. Pakistan were firm favourites with Australia needing 18 off the final over, but Michael Hussey bludgeoned Ajmal for three sixes and a four to hand his team a miraculous win, with a ball to spare.
"When Hussey hit the last six I was absolutely heartbroken, I am still heartbroken," Ajmal told PakPassion.net. "It was a very emotional and difficult time for me. My team-mates all came up to me and consoled me and told me not to worry, but I was very upset. The pain is there, when you lose a game of this magnitude it hurts really badly".
Wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal told the same website yesterday that the team stood behind Ajmal and in no terms held him responsible for the defeat. Ajmal said he received overwhelming support from everyone involved.
"All of the squad, from the players to the coaches to the backroom staff have said to me that I wasn't to blame for the defeat and they have all said that we played as a unit, we won matches as a unit and we all take responsibility as a unit for the defeat," Ajmal said. "There is no question of anyone pointing the finger at any individuals".
That Ajmal bowled the over was part of a plan, having succeeded in shutting South Africa out of the contest in their previous game. He said he wanted to fire in yorkers to keep Hussey in check, but things didn't go according to script.
"The first delivery was perfect, it was what I had planned, it was a perfect yorker to Mitchell Johnson and it only went for a single," he said. "However, then the wind seemed to pick up and I was bowling into the wind which made me lose my line and length. I dragged the next delivery down and instead of bowling yorkers into the blockhole for the remaining deliveries as I tried to fire the ball in at the batsman, the deliveries ended up being quick and became length deliveries, which was what Hussey was hoping for. He was then able to get the elevation on the deliveries, instead of having to dig them out".
Ajmal said the best way to shrug off the disappointment was to start bowling again. "The best way for me to get over this match is to start playing cricket again, get the ball in my hand and to start bowling again.
"Thankfully the Asia Cup is not far away and I am looking forward to playing in that tournament in Sri Lanka. I have faith in my ability and I am confident that I can bounce back after the match in St Lucia".

Ten Signs You're Addicted to Your Mobile Devices
We often joke that we can't live without our smartphones, tablets and laptops, and that we need connectivity as much as we need food and drink. But that sentiment stops being funny when our dependency crosses over into a more harmful state and descends into an unsettling addiction. Obsessive dependence on technology—like being hooked on gambling, alcohol or drugs—can cause high stress, physical deterioration, poor self-esteem, relationship issues and even job loss. Losing a job may seem drastic, but it does happen when professionals neglect their work and spend an excessive amount of time pursuing non-business-related activities on their mobile devices. These diversions include online games, videos, chats and social media. And it's not only about the amount of time you spend on a device; it's more about the way the activity affects you. With that in mind, consider the following 10 signs that indicate you (or a colleague) may be suffering from technology addiction. It will give you a sense of how your emotions, behavior and physical state are affected by your device usage. These signs were compiled by a number of online authorities, including Addictions.com and EveryDayHealth.com.

Well continuing with my trend to watch documentaries produced years ago I watched No Impact Man last night with my husband, using the wonderful Netflix to stream it.
Source: Uploaded by user via Mary on Pinterest As a side note I wouldn't recommend watching with children as they drop the "F" bomb several times. The movie follows Colin Beavan, his wife Michelle, and their 2 year old daughter Isabella as they spend 1 year (living in New York City) attempting to make no impact on the Earth. For this they give up, in stages mind you (they didn't go completely cold turkey)
I myself would have had to draw the line at toilet paper...that would have to be my luxury item if I were to do such a project. They made sure that they ate food grown within 250 miles of their home, which meant giving up on Starbucks but eating more from the local farmer's market. Overall I thought the film was a little extreme, but I think his point was to see what things they could live without if they tried and giving everything up all at once gave them a clean slate to start from. In the end I think they found they enjoyed family time more and eating local foods. It made them feel more connected to their city and more conscientious of their consumption. I had my husband watch this with me because I thought this would appeal to him, and did it ever. We've decided to make an action plan and see what we could do to make less of an impact.

As these projects progress I will be sure to blog about it. Because if something is a success, or even a failure, there is bound to be something we can learn from it and by sharing with all of you who knows what you can teach me :)
What sort of suggestions for having less impact can you share?

And, yes, it traces back to the Koch brothers, those die-hard Americans who refuse to accept the results of the democratic process.

Beds are very comfortable, fee for parking, not that friendly check in staff, hotel can use a renovation, shower is weak, not enough outlets, quick room service, was not as nice as I understood from the photos. Will most probably not return, recommended if you need to be in this area, and no better place is available.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
It's a bit of a journey for you if you're coming from waiks but there's a lot to see a long the way. You can stop at diamond head, kokohead, makapuu lighthouse, hanauma bay. You'd have to drive through kaneohe which is nice if it's lightly raining because then there's waterfalls (over a hundred) coming down the koolaus. Eventually you'll get to chinaman's hat (mokoli'i) on the right with Kualoa ranch (jurassic park etc...) on the left. Past that is Laie, Polynesian cultural center. Just a bit further is where my beach is: Friends of Malaekahana 56-335 Kamehameha Hwy Laie, HI 96762. Gotta be looking hard to see it lol... After the beach if you want to go back the same way you can... or keep going the same direction and hit the shrimp eats in Kahuku. Kahahuku is supposed to be known for sweet corn. Most shrimp places out there offer corn. The fun is figuring which is from Kahuku Romi is my favorite, nevermind Giovani If you're looking for a luau I'd recommend the Paradise cove one. two thumbs up There's more to type but lazy. One thing. You can rent scooters if you want, just don't take them out to Kailua from Waiks... too many fatalities going that route. |
Aloha folks ... I am not here to tell you that one particular experience is better than another. But I would suggest that you just pick a place or places you are going to stay and just relax. Do not spend your vacation trying to figure out what you should be doing or where you should be. Plan in advance and then just relax and enjoy it. Too many tourists think about where they got to go next. Before they know it, the place they got to go is home.
I am leaving in a few days. I am pasting all these suggestions on a piece of paper and bring it with me. I hate reading it on the phone or tablet. |

Islam Through Western Eyes: From the Crusades to the War on Terrorism (Paperback)
Format: | Paperback 272 pages |

Despite the West's growing involvement in Muslim societies, conflicts, and cultures, its inability to understand or analyze the Islamic world threatens any prospect for East-West rapprochement. Impelled by one thousand years of anti-Muslim ideas and images, the West has failed to engage in any meaningful or productive way with the world of Islam. Formulated in the medieval halls of the Roman Curia and courts of the European Crusaders and perfected in the newsrooms of Fox News and CNN, this anti-Islamic discourse determines what can and cannot be said about Muslims and their religion, trapping the West in a dangerous, dead-end politics that it cannot afford. In Islam Through Western Eyes, Jonathan Lyons unpacks Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam, conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history. He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the social sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy, theology, international relations, security studies, and human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on research, speeches, political strategy, and government policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence, and the growing tension between established social values and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant populations. Through the intellectual "archaeology" of Michel Foucault, Lyons reveals the workings of this discourse and its underlying impact on our social, intellectual, and political lives. He then addresses issues of deep concern to Western readers--Islam and modernity, Islam and violence, and Islam and women--and proposes new ways of thinking about the Western relationship to the Islamic world.

I have read that the washed yeast should be used within a month, but obviously you have proven that you can use it again. Others here may be able to respond better than I. Most of my brews are about 4 weeks to 6 weeks apart. I usually just use Safale US-05 for the majority of my brews and I really don't see why I should save the yeast since dry yeast is so readily available. Even though I have been brewing for years, I just have not used the yeast washing method at all. Perhaps it is just the fact I am too busy with my mundane job! Came back to edit. After reading some more, there have been good results using washed yeast up to one year old. Most of what I read suggested that you should not go over 3-4 months. In any event, a starter is needed to insure good yeast reproduction.
Yep, I always use a starter and I think I've seen a few people also mention using it up to a year. For US-05 I wouldn't bother either but for some of the liquids I'm happy to save the money on repurchasing the same strain.
So you guys are saying that even if you wash the yeast you should make a starter? Well heck, on a 5 gallon batch of beer that you are washing the yeast from there is a heck of a lot of yeast to begin with
That's not easy to do. How do you transfer wort? How do you chill? False bottom in the BK? All these and a few more variables will determine how much trub, cold break, yeast, etc are in the fermentor. My process uses a plate chiller which gets recirculated and have a filter in the BK so very little crud makes it to my fermentor. I would guess that I get 1-1.5 L of yeast that is diluted in some beer. It's really hard to say, since it really depends on your process and vitality of your fermentation.

sherazade's Note:
This makes for a really good authentic curry: beware this isn't the kind of dish you make when you are out of time. everything needs to be fried really well and thoroughly to get the flavours of the spices out. cook for as long as possible! I like to use a baby chicken cut into 'curry size' pieces (ask your butcher!), otherwise just use the pieces you like best making sure they are bite size!
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1 kg skinless chicken piece
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek (optional)
- fresh coriander
- 1Warm the oil in a large pan. Dice the onion finely and fry it for as long as you can without it burning, normally this takes about 10-15 minutes. you can add salt , about a teaspoon and a half at this stage, which speeds up the frying process. the onions need to be gold and crispy.
- 2Add the garlic and ginger and fry till gold.
- 3Add the cumin, coriander, fenugreek, garam masala, tumeric and chilli powder, stir fry for about 8-10 minutes till really fragrant, stir to avoid sticking and burning.
- 4Add the tomato puree and fry again all together, should thicken immediately. then add the chopped tomato, breaking the pieces into the spice mixture, till the whole thing is red. the whole idea is to fry for as long as possible without burning. this is the secret to a good curry!
- 5Add the chicken, combine well and fry a further few minutes till sealed. then add a cup of water, lower the fire and let cook till the oil rises above the sauce and chicken is tender. keep checking to make sure it doesnt dry out, but not too often.
- 6Check the salt, add if necessary. then add a handful of chopped coriander.
- 7Serve with boiled rice or nan.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
CWB harvests storm with cowgirl pin-up
Ad sexist for some, no big deal for others
Maybe it was headline envy, a need to be back in the news after years of gut-wrenching, polarized debate over its future. Maybe it was a case of outsourcing gone awry.
Some have even speculated the CWB's latest advertising campaign depicting a busty cowgirl in a short skirt and red boots stuck on a barn-board fence is a diversionary tactic -- designed to distract people from the fact that the former Canadian Wheat Board's downtown Winnipeg head office is now up for sale and it has hit the fast-forward mode on privatization.
Whatever the reason, the "Still on the fence?" ad featuring American pin-up artist Gil Elvgren's 1969 print Hi-Ho Silver sure has people talking.
Aside from the practical questions, such as how this poor child will get off that fence without slivers in her butt, or what an image of a cowgirl has to do with selling grain, there's the bigger question of whether the campaign is attracting the kind of attention CWB wants as it begins its new life as a government-backed grain broker.
Or, given its status as a government agency, whether this ad reflects the party in power's attitudes towards women.
One thing is for sure, it's got some people riled up enough to complain to the newspapers carrying the ads, CWB and its bosses -- all the way up to the federal minister's office and the federal minister responsible for the status of women.
The National Farmers Union issued a release calling the ad offensive and demeaning to farm women.
"What an image of a long-legged woman straddling a fence has to do with selling grain is beyond me," said Joan Brady, NFU women's president. "The new CWB doesn't seem to realize that women are farmers and make marketing decisions."
Fellow NFU board member Glenn Tait said men find the ad offensive too. "Mostly though, we're saddened by an amateurish and off-target campaign conducted by the ghost of what used to be a world-class entity," he said.
"As a woman, mother, and fourth-generation Canadian of agricultural heritage, I was deeply offended and shocked by the pin-up style image and the demeaning portrayal of women in this ad," writes Pam Hadden, a Winnipegger who works in agri-marketing, in a letter to Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.
"I am deeply, deeply offended on several levels," says Dawn Harris, a former farmer who has a degree in agriculture, and works in agricultural communications. "This imagery denigrates farm men by implying they are easily led into decisions by sexual images and in so doing disrespect their wives and daughters. It diminishes the integral role that women play in the agricultural community and have played throughout the agricultural history of the Canadian Prairies."
It's no secret that women played an important role in the development of agriculture on the Prairies. They were more apt to be building the fences -- not striking a ditzy, helpless pose on one.
Farm women were a driving force behind the co-operative grain marketing movement that ultimately helped form the original Canadian Wheat Board. They later led the charge to give women the right to vote, run for office and be considered "persons" under the law.
Their descendants have continued to break down barriers to women in the workplace. Many see using retro pinup posters exuding outdated social mores to sell grain marketing services as a clear setback, starting with who they target. The ad apparently presumes men are the main decision makers on the farm.
But if the online comments to CBC and Globe and Mail coverage of this are any indication, most viewers think the ad is cute and all the fuss unwarranted.
"I am a young woman and work in a grain elevator. I think this ad is genious (sic) ...These feminists need to stop having their pity party ...," said one.
"Who does the ad offend? As a feminist, an industrial construction worker, and a farmer's girlfriend, I don't see what's wrong with it. Beautiful women are often used for advertising, and as a woman I embrace that :)," says another.
Many of the comments target 'angry feminists.' A few wade into politics, suggesting only 'left-wingers' would find this offensive. None of them talk about selling more grain to the new CWB.
For its part, CWB isn't offering any apologies. It's not pulling the ads either.
"Our intent behind the ad was to start a conversation," said CWB chief strategy officer Dayna Spiring, noting reaction has been more positive than negative. There's been more traffic to its website too. She didn't say whether there would be more pin-up posters coming.
