Poetry 180 - Tuesday 9:00 AM. In this poem, disaster strangely invades the ordinary.
A man standing at the bus stop reading the newspaper is on fire Flames are peeking out from beneath his collar and cuffs His shoes have begun to melt The woman next to him wants to mention it to him that he is burning but she is drowning Water is everywhere in her mouth and ears in her eyes A stream of water runs steadily from her blouse Another woman stands at the bus stop freezing to death She tries to stand near the man who is on fire to try to melt the icicles that have formed on her eyelashes and on her nostrils to stop her teeth long enough from chattering to say something to the woman who is drowning but the woman who is freezing to death has trouble moving with blocks of ice on her feet.

Manuel for Model Number kenmore 790.42749404
Answer Hi Manual. No, the light (240 vac) does not control the burner operations. The pop indicates a shorted switch or a wire or terminal shorted to ground. You really need to unplug the unit and use a volt meter to see if you have the proper 240 vac supply to the unit outlet. If so then you need to see if where the unit supply cord terminal block is intact and all connections are tight. Then use the wiring diagram supplied with the unit to see what the first switch L-1 (black supply wire) and the L-2 (red supply wire) is fed from. In a cook top it is a very tight wiring area that if a switch shaft nut is off and the switch is loose in the cabinet then it will create this issue. A shorted wire to chassis will leave a burnt black spot and create a blown hole (easy to spot). Remember that the indicator light is also as well 240 vac and the black spot is not necessarily a issue. Thank You.

Enova International Named A Top Gen Y Employer For Second Year In A Row
CHICAGO, Dec. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, Enova International, a global online lender, has been named to Brill Street + Company's Top 50 Employers for Gen Y Emerging Talent in Chicago. Once again, Enova is in the top tier of this competitive list, taking the number two spot. Employers were evaluated on company offerings and employee satisfaction in six categories: professional development opportunities, benefits, environment, company reputation, culture and perks.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131218/CG35816LOGO)
As one of Chicago's largest digital companies, Enova employs more than 1,025 people in the Chicago area, including 460 Gen Y employees filling roles in a variety of sought-after careers including technology, analytics and digital marketing. The company offers a collaborative and challenging work environment with a variety of perks such as tuition reimbursement, sabbaticals, yoga classes, haircuts, dry cleaning and manicures.
"It is estimated that by 2020, Gen Y employees will make up 40 percent of the U.S. workforce. In the more technologically innovative industries like ours, that number could double," says David Fisher, CEO of Enova International. "Being named a top Gen Y employer of choice for the second straight year validates that Enova is fostering an innovative environment where talented Gen Y employees can grow and thrive."
Enova employees, who were surveyed by Brill Street as part of the award process, gave their employer top ratings for professional development and opportunities for growth, on-site amenities, and employee satisfaction with company culture. "One of the really special things about our culture at Enova is how our core values are truly embraced across the organization, and this is a huge benefit for our Gen Y employees in the beginning stages of their careers," Fisher says. "For instance, our 'Operate as an Owner' and 'Best Answer Wins' values mean that an employee at any level can bring new ideas to the table and make a great impact on our business and 3 million plus customers."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

After being teased at New York Fashion Week, Intel, the CFDA and indie boutique/fashion brand Opening Ceremony today unveiled MICA, their wearable tech jewelry line that will be sold exclusively at Barneys New York and OC's boutiques in New York and Los Angeles starting next month.
Short for My Intelligent Communications Accessory, the price has been lowered to $495 (from the original "up to $1,000" price point). And despite the photo posted on Intel's Instagam feed from the press event at Dia:Chelsea, it doesn't require a smartphone to work thanks to a tie-in with AT&T.Continue reading...

The day has finally arrived: Alexander Wang's collection for H&M is now in stores. Wang, creative director of Kering SA's Balenciaga brand, is the first American to design a guest collection for H&M, and today's debut marks 10 years of designer collaborations for the world's second-biggest apparel retailer after Zara owner Inditex.
After an orchestrated series of sneak peeks—first on Instagram, followed by Rihanna at New York Fashion Week, and then a mention in Vogue Netherlands—as well as a striking video teaser (below) and a New York runway show—the collection has now hit 240 H&M stores worldwide and its network of websites, with select pieces also for sale on the official Alexander Wang website.
As we noted earlier, the collaboration not only crashed H&M's local websites worldwide, but instantly hit eBay, with items priced up to $2,000.Continue reading...

The Alexander Wang collection launch at H&M today saw fans line up around the block around the world, sparking crowd control issues as its local websites crashed, although they're starting to come back online.
Some fans were snapping up $5,000 worth of the New York-based designer's apparel at a time, with the menswear reportedly selling out quicker than the women's collection. No surprise, items are already popping up on eBay for up to $2,000 by one seller. Continue reading...

Wearables, wearables, wearables.
They're everywhere, yes. And now that Apple's jumped on board and wearable tech was a all the rage at last month's New York Fashion Week, it's certain the craze will continue, and perhaps morph from a craze to a way of life.
Technology companies are now expected to build products that seamlessly fit into our lives: make them smaller, give them straps, attach them to faces and so on. But what if you don't want to look like you're wearing technology? What if you want the technology, but not at the expense of style?
Luckily, there are a few brands leading the charge, not by building technology first, then thinking of a way to wear it, but about design a great piece of clothing, then creating the technology to go with.Continue reading...

Heineken continues to press its advantages as a premier premium beer brand (#95 on Interbrand's new Best Global Brands report) in a world where volume brews continue to fade.
New Heineken US initiatives range from an extension of its #Heineken100 partnerships with American luxury goods designers, to a new long-term deal with US Major League Soccer and greater use of contextualized "native" advertising on mobile.
The #Heineken100 initiative is the most upper-crust by far. The brewer recruited Chris Gibbs, onwer of pioneering retail outpost Union Los Angeles, to identify and work with other tastemakers, defined artisans and creators who "not only embody Heineken's aspirational and metropolitan essence, but are on the cusp of becoming innovators in their industries," said Belen Pamukoff, Heineken's brand director of marketing, in a press release.
For the fifth year of #Heineken100, the three new brand partners are Parabellum, a premium bison leather goods brand; high-end eyewear label GLCO (Garrett Leight California Optical); and RTH, a Los Angeles-based purveyor of re-engineered American surplus apparel, handcrafted housewares, leather portage and Native American jewelry.Continue reading...

Louis Vuitton just took the top luxury brand spot in Interbrand's annual Best Global Brands report, coming in at No. 19. The next highest luxury brand is Gucci at No. 41. Part of the reason Interbrand, which owns brandchannel, put Vuitton so high was because the company has "repositioned to protect and elevate" itself after years of being one of the most counterfeited brands in the world.
But it's not resting on its laurels—or its logo. Under the banner "Six Iconoclasts. One Icon" the brand invited a few friends to update its image and breathe some life into its logo-laden luxury items with some previously unthinkable designs.
Invited to take a swing: fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, red-soled shoemaker Christian Louboutin and architect Frank Gehry, along with artist Cindy Sherman, industrial designer Marc Newson, and fashion designer Rei Kawakubo, all of whom took the 118-year-old logo and gave it a a shakeup in a new collection of bags and trunks that's being promoted as #CelebratingMonogram.
The only guidance the six were given, according to the Wall Street Journal, was to "use the brand's famous … brown-and-gold 'LV' symbol in a new way."Continue reading...

After exclusively launching U2's new Songs of Innocence album to 500 million iTunes accounts this past week, Apple is delivering something else in response to customer demand. And true to Apple form, it's an intuitive, easy-to-use and simple piece of technology—a delete button.
A case study in how not to show customer appreciation, the unwanted gift of U2 music to all iTunes customers, whether they were fans of the Irish rockers or not, was hyped as the largest album release ever, and a "shrewd" marketing partnership (to the reported tune of $100 million) to celebrate the roots of the brand's longstanding tie-in with the band.
It turns out that the U2 album giveaway was a teaser for a bigger gift to come—and not only to music lovers but to musicians and the music industry as a whole. As TIME reveals in an exclusive cover story today, Apple is working with U2 on a bigger "secret project": a new digital music format designed to delight and excite customers to buy not only individual tracks but whole albums-as-experiences, and in so doing, "save the music industry."Continue reading...

Target's new CEO, Brian Cornell, has decided to go back to the future to retool the retailing brand while Home Depot CEO Frank Blake has to hope that he can see something other than Target in the crystal ball for his own brand, as Home Depot deals with a potentially mammoth data breach.
Target suffered a debilitating customer-data breach nearly a year ago, but the brand clearly was having problems before that. The biggest: Former CEO Gregg Steinhafel had allowed Target to drift away from a distinct identity as the au courant mass merchandiser whose chic apparel and homewear designs elevated it above price-first rivals such as Walmart and dollar stores. Steinhafel instead added a greater variety of goods and focused on grocery expansion.
Now, with Steinhafel gone, PepsiCo veteran Cornell is only a month into his job but told the Wall Street Journal that he has one major strategy planned: return to the narrower range of categories where the chain originally made its reputation as "Tarjay," including fashion and furniture, as well as expand fast-growing other segments including organic foods and children's wear.Continue reading...

Cookery holidays: Don't forget your wooden spoon...
Cookery holidays are as much a chance to get a taste of life in another country as they are to sample and prepare the local produce. Lucy Gillmore dishes up a selection of mouth-watering options
What's the attraction?
Rick Stein's culinary odysseys have taken him from the French canals to the Mekong Delta, while Jamie Oliver careered through Italy in an old camper van and Gordon Ramsay helped prepare a banquet for the Cambodian royal family. Turn on the TV and you're as likely to see a celebrity chef sampling steaming street food as slaving over a hot stove. Food and travel go together like, well, cheese and pineapple. After all, what could be better than meandering around the souks of Marrakech before weaving your way back to the riad to learn how to rustle up a tangy tagine, or lazing on a Greek beach before heading up the sandy track to learn the art of a gooey baklava?
Cookery holidays are packed with all the right ingredients: they're sociable (a couple of hours in the kitchen followed by a convivial meal), they engage you with the local culture at a day-to-day level, plus you come home with a few new recipes with which to wow your dinner party guests.
Feeling haute?
From frogs' legs to foie gras, the French have long proved their prowess in the kitchen. At the turn of the 20th century, chef, writer and restaurateur Georges Auguste Escoffier was formulating the intricate form of cooking that was to become known as haute cuisine – small, intricately prepared dishes served in the grand hotels and restaurants of France and Europe. It's still the epitome of fine dining and held in such esteem that last year French gastronomy got Unesco billing – listed under "intangible cultural heritage".
France will forever be a magnet for gourmets. And where better to immerse yourself in the fine art than in the kitchen of a Relais & Chateaux hotel? The fellowship is as much recognised for its "Grands Chefs" as it is luxury hotels. At one of its more modern properties, Crillon Le Brave (00 33 4 90 65 61 61; www.crillonlebrave.com), near Avignon, the week-long cookery course teaches you classic Provençal recipes each day with a spot of truffle-hunting and wine-tasting thrown in. Prices start at €2,900 (£2,527) per person based on two sharing, including six nights' full-board accommodation (including wine) and cooking classes; travel to France is not included.
If the scent of fresh baguettes and just-baked croissants sets your pulse racing, then pack your apron and head to the Lot for a four-day French pastry course in a 19th-century farmhouse. The trip with GoLearnTo.com (0844 502 0445; www.golearnto.com) costs £413 per person, including three nights' full-board accommodation, three patisserie lessons and a visit to the local patisserie to sample classic pastries. Travel to France is not included.
Under a Tuscan sun
Tying yourself to a hot stove is all very well, but in a setting as bucolic as Tuscany, you'll probably want to explore the countryside too. This autumn, Aurora and Carlo Baccheschi Berti, owners of 12th-century luxury retreat Castello di Vicarello (00 39 0564 990718; www.vicarello.it), are launching a Photography and Cooking Retreat. Taking place from 14-16 October, the cookery classes are taught by Aurora, who has just published a cookbook, My Tuscan Kitchen (her recipes include ricotta and pumpkin gnocchi or pheasant tortelli with butter and rosemary), while photographer Beth Evans will teach guests how to frame the Tuscan backdrop. The cost is €1,700 per person, including three nights' full board, two cooking classes and two photography classes. Flights are not included.
Can't cook, won't cook
Too many cooks might spoil the broth; if you're a couple that wants to holiday together, but not cook together, Swinton Park (01765 680900; www.swintonpark.com) in Yorkshire has plenty of activities for the non-cooking partner: spa treatments, falconry, golf, fishing, shooting, riding and walking on the 200-acre estate. Book a two-day course with celebrity chef Rosemary Shrager (£385 per person: Modern British Classic 2-4 October) and you'll get a special B&B rate of £105 per room.
At the Nick Nairn Cook School (01877 389 900; www.nicknairncookschool.com) in Scotland, popular courses for couples who do want to cook together include the Easy Posh Dinner Party (which features a new autumn menu – breast of duck with rösti potato, pancetta, artichoke and cep stew) and the Chocolate Therapy Course. Both one-day courses cost £159 per person, while rooms at the gourmet Lake of Menteith Hotel nearby (01877 385 258; www.lake-hotel.com) cost from £120 per night B&B. Or if it's more a case of can't cook, the Absolute Beginners one-day course (£159) focuses on easy dishes and basic skills.
Burning off the Calories
For those worried about piling on the pounds on a cookery holiday, The Riding Company's (01534 745795; www.theridingcompany.com) new trip in Spain, "Gallops for Gourmets" (15-22 October) counters the gourmet element with trotting around the countryside of Andalucia. Rides take you out through orange and avocado groves and into the mountains and white villages where you'll source fresh, local ingredients to take back to chef-teacher Neil Armstrong. The seven-night trip costs £2,130 per person including B&B, six evening meals, two lunches, three cooking lessons, riding guide and transfers; flights are extra.
Or build up an appetite on a surf'n'turf break near Penzance in Cornwall. Global Boarders' (01736 711404; www.globalboarders.com) gourmet surfing weekends combine cookery classes at Ben's Cornish Kitchen (a restaurant in Marazion), with surfing lessons on the beaches of Porthmeor and Gwenver, while bedding down at Ennys, a five-star country manor house.
A two-night break with one day surfing, one morning masterclass and lunch and two nights' luxury accommodation with breakfast costs from £305 per person.
Some like it hot
Tasting a curry made with spices fresh from a plantation is unbeatable. Learn about the complex composition of Indian cuisine as you meander through the heady spice gardens of the Western Ghats in Karnataka with Village Ways (01223 750049; www.villageways.com).
Staying in the village of Hulgol, you'll explore the plantations and markets before learning to cook with the spices and local produce.
The guided nine-night trip costs from £818 per person based on two sharing, including excursions and cookery sessions but excluding international flights.
What Google will tell you...
A new cookery school headed up by Angela Gray, food writer, broadcaster and one-time chef to Andrew Lloyd Webber, opened earlier this year on a working vineyard in Wales.
Along with courses such as Sunday Best (where you learn to cook the perfect lunch: roast pork with lemon and hazelnut stuffing – £140 for the day) you can take a vineyard tour and wine tasting ( www.llanerch-vineyard.co.uk).
What Google won't tell you ... until now
"Montalbano is Italy's Rebus or Wallander – with a passion for food. I always recommend Andrea Camilleri's detective novels as the perfect cookery holiday read for clients on our Sicilian holidays, as they are based in the same area and Montalbano is obsessed by food. He's always breaking off from his investigation to try some local delicacy or tuck into a plate of pasta!" says Lorne Blyth, director of Flavours of Italy, a cookery holiday specialist.
Who said that?

Cornelia Dayton and Sharon Salinger's Robert Love's Warnings: Searching for Strangers in Colonial Boston describes the efforts of one man on Boston's city payroll who was tasked with locating non-resident transients in the city, inquiring into the origins of hundreds of arriving strangers between 1765 and 1774.
Hosking's book was widely anticipated. I had hoped that it would be a worthy successor to Adam Seligman's The Problem of Trust.(1) However, it is largely a rambling discourse on concepts that are often barely connected to trust. There is no clear idea of what varieties of trust are. Many of Hosking's claims are at variance with the evidence we have on trust.
This is a most welcome volume for a number of reasons. For a start, it is the most nuanced and comprehensive study of the practice of intercession in the earlier Middle Ages, focusing on the ninth and tenth centuries. More to the point, perhaps, it constitutes the first (and to date only) sustained engagement with the diplomas of the Ottonian and Salian rulers available in English.
In The Brothers Karamazov, the great novelist Fedor Dostoevsky has the defence counsel Fetiukovich assert in court the perceived essential characteristic – and superiority – of Russian justice: 'Let other nations think of retribution and the letter of the law, we will cling to the spirit and the meaning – the salvation and reformation of the lost' (quoted on p.134).
The legal act of defining the 'employee' is about drawing lines. Those boundaries are often artificial, legally structured, and forged in an array of contests over power, ideology, and economics. They may be artificial, but they are powerful, demarcating who is in and who is out, who is us and who is them.
Among the features of life that we expect to encounter in historical analyses of the first five or six decades of the 19th century in Ireland is a violent society.
Six years after the publication of the first volume of the Handbook of Nineteenth-Century European Constitutional History (1), the long-awaited second has appeared. While the first ranged from around 1770 to 1815 over 1224 pages, its successor covers the time between the Congress of Vienna (1814/1815) and the Revolutions of 1848 using 1504 pages.
As its title implies, Peter Bell's monograph applies structures derived from sociology, specifically those focusing on conflict theory and resolution, to the Eastern Roman Empire in the sixth century.
The word 'hostage' might immediately bring to mind hostile situations: the entrapment of a wealthy businessman's daughter in exchange for money, a terrorist incident (1) or a manifestation of domestic abuse.(2) However, the meaning of hostageship has undergone many transformations over time, some of which are brought under the microscope Profe
The significance of ransoming has long been recognised by students of medieval chivalry and diplomacy. Seen as key to the development of an international aristocratic ethic that mitigated some of the worst excesses of medieval combat the ransom system led to a pan-European conception of a chivalric brotherhood.

Is it farther or further?
Ottoman sultan from 1603 to 1617, whose authority was weakened by wars, rebellions, and misrule. The rebellions he was able to suppress; he executed some of the viziers and exiled many palace dignitaries for bribery and intrigue; and he introduced a new regulation for the improvement of land administration. The peace of Zsitvatorok (1606) that he signed with Austria was a blow to Ottoman prestige, and he was compelled to extend commercial privileges to France, Venice, and the Netherlands within his domains

Ridiculous Dialogue Podcast: Episode 21
Episode 21 The Ridiculous Dialogue Podcast turns drinking age with episode 21. To kick off our celebration, the crew reminisced... View Article
View ArticleThey say that the One Day Hike (ODH) may be the mid-Atlantic region's oldest long distance hike. Even though The Sierra Club has been hosting this popular adventure since 1974, I just found out about it last year.
They have two distances for hikers to choose from, a 50K and a 100K. All but 1.5 miles of the hike is on the C&O Canal tow path as it winds from Georgetown, Washington, DC to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Hiking 62.14 miles in a single day is not what some people consider a day hike, but this is exactly what they are asking people to do.
Being a guy, my ego is in need of a constant check. Luckily I was able to subdue my testosterone enough and made myself promise that I would take this one slow. The mission is to complete the hike; that is all. No speed records, no bricks, just finish.
To complete the hike in the allotted time, you need to average 20 minutes per mile (approximately 3 mph). If you miss the cutoff times at any given station, they bring you in. It's part of the rules you have to agree to but ultimately it's for your safety and I understand that.
Note: They throttle the signups and don't have a waiting list, so you just have to wait until they open registration periodically and grab a spot as quickly as possible.
Since this is a supported event, there are strategically placed aid stations with food, water, medicine, etc. I planned on carrying everything I could to move as fast as possible and keep stops to a minimum. I did however take advantage of the aid stations for food and water resupply when I really needed it.
The conditions for this hike could not have been better for me. I operate best in the cold and rain doesn't seem to hurt my morale at all. In fact, for some reason I tend to welcome the rain because I feel as if it becomes a mental barrier for others. So with a low around 39 and high in the low 50's, I was excited.
I met the organizers in a dark parking lot in Georgetown to check-in. I haven't experienced this "feeling" in a while and it's fun being wide awake and geared up for an adventure at some crazy hour (2:30 AM) surrounded by similarly crazy people. We are setting out to hike 62.14 miles in less than 24 hours. I think that's crazy.
After a brief chat about safety and more on what to expect, we were off. My start is fast but I'm feeling good. I'm cranking out 13-15 minute miles and listening to music. Some songs get me feeling pumped and allow an even faster pace. But the miles don't exactly fly by and even with a slower than running pace, I'm starting to get hungry.
I keep moving as I swing my backpack around and pull out some snacks. I plan on eating as much as I need but I also don't want to burn through all of my food before I reach the first food station. Something I noticed was that when people around me had to get something out of their bag or maybe pick a new song on their iPod, their pace slowed down. I made an effort to speed up during those times I was distracted.
Arriving at the first station I decided to adjust some things and only stay for a minute. I was good on water and feeling fresh so I wanted to get moving to the next checkpoint. Breakfast was waiting for me there and it was about 10 miles away.
I rolled into the breakfast station at mile 22 in just over six hours. To be honest, I kind of was expecting eggs and sausage but happily scarfed down the bagels, muffins, oranges, and yogurt they laid out. I also took time to get some blisters drained by the first aid crew. The volunteers at this event are downright saints. One person will pop your blisters and bandage you up while the other is asking what they can get you from the food table, all while being as chipper as can be. Saints.
I started off slow as I left the breakfast stop but soon picked up pace. I decided to use my trekking poles and push like I was skiing and they really helped a ton. Somehow I snuck a 14 minute mile in there but eventually had to slow down as my legs began to tighten up. Also, my feet were feeling incredibly tender. Almost as if I were stepping on thumb tacks.
I blew through the next aid station at mile 30 to save time and preserve my feet. Stopping seemed to make it worse. After all, it's only 5.6 miles to the next station which is the lunch stop.
I eventually slowed down as I neared the next station. Things are starting to get worse. I arrived at Whites Ferry (mile 35.6) at 2:05 PM. Sat for a minute until I could muster up the strength to rise and hobble to the food table. I downed a PB&J and took another as well as some trail mix for later. I left the station at 2:23 PM because it closes at 3:10 PM and I didn't want to be out of the running just yet.
About a half mile down the trail, I was by myself as I started to realize the gravity of it all. Things were hurting too bad. My pace was deteriorating. My body was shutting down. At this realization, alone on the trail, leaning on my trekking poles for support, I broke down.
I did the math and realized I wasn't going to make the next cutoff. My goal was to finish and certainly not quit. I won't be able to finish but at least I'm not quitting. I gave it everything I could. It was extremely difficult for me to reach that conclusion but soon I was ok with it.
It started to rain and lasted for my last 2 miles. I arrived at what was to be my final station at mile 42.5, 20 minutes beyond the cutoff. I was forced to end my hike there. To be honest, if allowed to go on, my pace would have been so slow that I wouldn't have made the finish in 24 hours anyway.
I didn't earn a patch but that doesn't mean I won't go back. I'll return to hike the full distance and I'm still proud of myself for covering 42.5 miles in just over 14 and a half hours.
Now that I've had time to rest and reflect, I realized a few things I did wrong and what I need to do for next time. I forgot about this event up until a few weeks before I could sign up. That didn't leave a lot of time for training and honestly, you really have to train for this. I did one hike that was about 18 miles but they highly recommend you do at least a 35 mile hike if attempting the 100K.
Looking over the OneDayHike.org website, it's full of great advice that I'll follow to the letter for next time. Building up your feet and legs during long days of walking will go a long way when you do the real thing. I was ill prepared and thought that a general level of decent fitness would get me through. It did not. This wasn't something I could muscle through even though I tried.
Even though I failed to reach my goal, do I recommend others attempt this hike? Yes. It's an amazing adventure that you should try if you have even the slightest interest. Visit the ODH site and follow their training program. You know I will.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that volunteered and manned the aid stations. Being greeted by a complete stranger who is more than excited to get food for me or pop my blisters while I rested did wonders for morale. The volunteers make this event what it is and I plan to reciprocate and become one sometime.

Doing this the General will go down fast.The most effective technique is to slow down time and hit him with a full railgun shot; the alternate fire of the railgun; or the alternate fire of the shotgun. However, you must first disable his shield with an EMP grenade. Once done, you will do substantial damage. It will break into a intermission sequence and spiderbots will appear. Kill themm then resume fighting the general. If you have enough Bio Energy, repeat the previous tactic. If not, use the EMP, then the alternate fire of the railgun or shotgun. The shotgun is easier to hit him with, but does less damage. After you inflict more damage, walkers will appear. Destroy them with the method of your choosing (rocket launcher recommended). Then, once again resume the fight with the general. This is his last round, spare no expense. Wear down or use an EMP on his shield, then kill him with massive fire power, or one of the alternate attacks of the railgun or shotgun.Enemies that are not Bosses can be killed with the ice pick. One hit and they are down. After about a second you hear the sound of the ice pick breaking their spine.To control spiderbots, shoot them with the icepick. - Sent by [DannyWeyerich]After you come out of the armoury and have your carbine and pistol, you will walk past a soldier, he will say permission to open armoury sir! walk over to him and press square, once you have done this follow him till he unlocks a door. go in, you should be in the armoury, if you look around you will get lots of grenades and some other stuff, if you look carefully you should find a sort of gun lying on the floor pick it up, this is the kicker, a tele-kinetic gun.You can use the Gravity Gun to turn off alarms from far off. If you get seen and the alarm goes off, just point it towards the red square and push it forward. This will save you time dealing with the NPCs. This is especially helpful when dealing with the invisible guys.

Your I-20
If you plan to study at UWM on an F-1 student visa, we will issue you an I-20, a U.S. government document necessary for your F-1 visa application. Your I-20 indicates the school you are attending, level of education, area of study, expected graduation date and information on how you will finance your education.
After you are admitted to UWM, our office must have the following documentation in order to issue your I-20:
Proof of Funding: In order to receive your I-20, you must show that you have sufficient funding to support your studies for one academic year. Your proof of funding must be enough to cover tuition, room and board and health insurance. If you have not yet submitted your proof of funding, please email it to us at email@example.com.
SEVIS transfer: If you are planning to attend UWM directly after studying at another U.S. institution (either as a transfer student or if you are moving from one level of study to another) you will need to arrange to have your SEVIS record transferred. Please fill out the first page of this form and give it to the Designated School Official (DSO) at your previous institution to complete. Your DSO will then return it to our office.
If this is your first time studying in the U.S., or you have returned to your home country after studying in the U.S., you will not need to transfer your SEVIS record.
I-20 for Dependent of Admitted Student: If your spouse or child(ren) will accompany you while you engage in studies at UWM, please submit the Dependent Information Form and, if necessary, submit any additional proof of funding so your family member(s) can apply for a F-2 dependent visa.
SEVIS Fee Payment
If you will be an F-1 or J-1 student for the first time, you will need to pay the SEVIS fee before your visa interview. When paying your SEVIS fee, please have your I-20 on-hand. Complete the I-901 form online, enter your credit card information and submit the form electronically. Print out a receipt and then call the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in your country to make an appointment for your visa interview.
Please note, sometimes students who are not new students will still need to pay the SEVIS fee. Who does and does not need to pay the SEVIS fee?
Visa Interview
If applying for an F-1 student visa for the first time, you must have a personal interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. This interview will most likely be conducted in English and will last about one or two minutes. You must be prepared because this interview will determine whether or not you are granted a visa.
To obtain a student visa, you must demonstrate to the official:
- that you are a prepared student with an educational plan
- that you have the financial resources to study for at least one year in the U.S.
- that you have strong ties to your home country
- that you will be returning to your home country after you have completed your studies
For a list of documents you will need to bring to your visa interview, please visit the U.S. Department of State website on Student Visas.
A Few Tips for the Visa Application Process:
- DO NOT wait until the last minute! Apply for your F-1 or J-1 student visa as soon as possible. It can take several weeks to get a visa appointment, depending on which country you live in.
- When filling out forms, always refer to the information as it is stated on your I-20 (i.e. the spelling of your name).
How to Prepare and Organize Materials for Your Visa Interview
- Dress neatly and/or professionally.
- Be prepared to inform the U.S. Consulate official about your educational goals. The official may want to know your major and why you chose it, what is important about that specific major to your future career opportunities, your graduate school plans, and why having a degree from abroad, specifically UWM, will enhance your education.
- Be prepared to inform the official about where and how you learned English and/or why you wish to study more English in the U.S.
Organizing Materials
Make sure that all of your paperwork needed for the interview is well organized. Group all appropriate papers together, such as: (1) your cover letter, (2) UWM documents, (3) academic credentials, (4) financial documents, and (5) all documents stating your ties to your home country.
Arrange for Housing
University Housing
At this time, new freshman students are NOT REQUIRED to live in University Housing. University Housing is near capacity and may not be able to offer housing to every student who applies. Please see the contract wait list if you are interested in University Housing for spring 2015.
In the case that you do receive a contract from University Housing, you will need to complete an early arrival form. Because of international student orientation and placement testing, many international students must arrive in the U.S. before the residence halls are open for move-in. International students are eligible to apply for early arrival so they can move into the residence halls before they are officially open to all students. To apply for early arrival, you will need to fill out an early arrival form and submit it to the UWM University Housing Office by either fax or mail. It is wise to complete this form well in advance of the beginning fo the semester, about a month before.
Off-Campus Housing
Although new freshman are required to live on campus, many other students including undergraduate upperclassmen and graduate students choose to live off campus. The UWM Neighborhood Housing Office assists students in finding safe, quality off-campus housing and roommates. If you would like to live off campus in an apartment or house, this would be a great place to start.
What to Bring to UWM
UWM on-campus rooms are furnished but do not include basic necessities like bed linens and cookware. Most off-campus apartments will not be furnished. You should begin thinking about what you will need to bring with you from your home country and what you will purchase when you arrive in Milwaukee.
Items you need to bring with you:
- Passport with Student Visa
- Final transcripts, if you have been admitted on the condition that you provide final transcripts
- Documents showing financial support for visa
Items you may consider bringing with you:
- Warmer clothing for winter (winter coat, hat, gloves, scarf, winter boots)
- Traveler's checks
- Credit card
- Professional/Formal Attire
- Computer, printer, flash drive
- Medical records for existing illnesses, especially allergies
- Prescription medicines, as required
- Extra pair of contact lenses and/or glasses
- MP3 player
- Favorite CDs
- Musical instruments
- Traditional national clothing
- Picture album of your family and friends
- Camera
- Telephone calling card
- Special spices/foods from home
What NOT to Bring:
- Candles
- Incense
- Fireworks
- Weapons of any kind
- Space heaters
- Irreplaceable valuables
Items you may consider buying after you arrive in Milwaukee:
- Pillow, sheets, blankets, towels, and washcloths [see residence room packages below]

- Toiletries (razor, brush, comb, toothbrush, nail clippers, tweezers, deodorant, soap, etc.)
- Sunblock
- Hair care products
- Small refrigerator (All residence halls have communal kitchens with a refrigerator and microwave. Also, Cambridge Commons does not allow small refrigerators because one is already provided for the entire suite)
- Laundry basket or sack
- Power strip (must be bought in the U.S.)
- Study Lamp (must have metal shade if you are living in the residence halls or Kenilworth Square Apartments)
- Sewing kit
- Sports/recreational equipment (tennis racket, tennis shoes, etc.)
- Throw rugs
- Cooking/kitchen equipment
Residence Room Packages
University Housing residence hall rooms do not come with bed linens, and many students like the peace of mind that comes with knowing they will be able to sleep with sheets, a blanket, and a pillow their first night in the U.S.
For the spring 2015 semester, University Housing has a limited number of OCM linen Paks for sale. You can buy the OCM pak when you arrive to your residence hall by cash, debit, or credit card. Currently, there are 7 Panther Paks ($299) and 33 Comfort Paks ($170) available for purchase at the residence halls.
**A common question new residents often have is what type of sheets to bring for a University Housing bed. The answer is simple: all UWM University Housing beds are extra-long twins. **
Contact Your Academic Advisor and Discuss Class Registration
Once you have been admitted to UWM, it is a good idea to get in touch with your academic advisor as soon as possible. If you have not done so already, log into your PAWS account to find your academic advisor's contact information. You can log into your PAWS account here. You will need your UWM ePanther ID and password. If you have not created these, please visit the ePanther Account Activation website to set up your account. Here you will need your campus ID number, which was emailed to you right after you first applied to UWM. Once you have located your advisor's email address in your PAWS account, we suggest sending your advisor an email explaing that you would like to discuss registering for classes. Some students register before they arrive on campus and some wait until they arrive in order to meet with their advisor in person and take placement tests. If your adviors suggests registering for classes before you arrive, you can do so online through your PAWS account.
Here are a few helpful links on the topic of enrollment and class registration:
New Student Enrollment Checklist: This pdf document is geared toward new students. It will walk you through the entire enrollment process, including activating your Panther ID, checking for and clearing holds on your account, and searching for classes

Included in your tuition costs are mandatory/segregated fees. These fees go to support certain student services like the Norris Health Center, UPASS, B.O.S.S., the Klotsche Center and many more resources offered by UWM.
For exact tuition and fees information and more information on mandatory/segregated fees, due dates, payment methods and much more, please visit the Bursar Office website.
Medical Records and Immunizations
UWM strongly recommends newly admitted students submit an immunization record to Norris Health Center when they arrive on campus, so it is a good idea to locate your medical records now to be sure you have them when you arrive at UWM. Please refer to the 2014/15 University Recommend Immunizations to see which vaccinations are recommended.

Aviva turnaround advances as first half sales rise
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON Aug 8 (Reuters) - British insurance group Aviva posted a 5 percent rise in operating profits as rising sales in key markets offset weakness in southern European operations.
In a half year earnings statement on Thursday, Aviva said the value of new business - its key measure of growth - grew 17 percent to 401 million pounds.
The performance was driven by the UK, France and Asia, thought sales fell sharply in Italy and Spain, Aviva said.
"In the first half we have taken a number of steps to deliver our investment thesis of cash flow and growth. These results show satisfactory progress in Aviva's turnaround," Chief Executive Mark Wilson said.
