Principles for Adult Learning in Canada
Inspired by the Belém Framework for Action, the Canadian Commission for UNESCO and its partners in International Adult Learners' Week have issued a leaflet that highlights the BFA principles on policies, governance, quality and equity with particular attention to languages and cultures. A Draft Declaration of Principles for Adult Learning in Canada is presented focussing on the establishment of the basis of a dialogue among governments, learners, non-governmental organisations, trainers, families, and individuals engaged in adult learning.

In light of the missionary age change for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and growing popularity of "The Book of Mormon" musical, Salt Lake City-based writer Betsy VanDenBerghe wrote an article for Real Clear Religion addressing common LDS mission myths.
"Pardon my complicating what's proved an entertaining, laughable, lucrative stereotype, but a Mormon mission fundamentally consists of a whopping dose of reality, humility, and soul searching," VanDenBerghe said in her article, "Time For Some Mormon Myth Busting."
The first myth VanDenBerghe addressed is, "it's all about converting."
"Actually, a huge chunk of mission mental energy consists of learning to live with a mission companion at your side 24/7 — a companion you didn't choose, and who, though only with you for a few months at a time, will at best become Samwise to your Frodo, only getting on your nerves occasionally, and at worst drive you to the brink of quasi-insanity only lifted when you find yourself alone in the bathroom," VanDenBerghe said.
She continued by saying that LDS missions teach missionaries about the necessity for God.
"That, to me, seems the crux of an LDS mission, and of religious transformation: realization of the need for God, of sin we can't root out ourselves, and of our mysterious exigency for forgiveness," VanDenBerghe said. "The Book of Mormon calls it a 'broken heart and contrite spirit.' Jesus called it being born again."
Another myth VanDenBerghe discussed was that a mission is "an insular bubble protected from the world."
"Sure, on a mission, you aren't supposed to go to movies, call your friends, or surf the net, but — take my word for it — not perusing the 'New York Times' in no way buffers missionaries from being exposed to urban warfare, natural disasters, or some of the most repulsive personal and home situations imaginable," VanDenBerghe said. "You're walking into people's homes and lives continuously, and those who let you in, 'investigators,' aren't usually flourishing. Even investigators whose lives include stability, education, and prosperity provide missionaries with an endless supply of doubt, scriptural challenges, and existential questions. If complete insulation from worldviews questioning God, religion, Mormonism, or the meaning of life is a goal, I'd suggest avoiding an LDS mission."
Another LDS mission myth VanDenBerghe wrote about was that "missions foster intolerance." She talked about how missionaries pass through culture shock, to acceptance to appreciation. VanDenBerghe noted how missionaries learn to love the people they serve by seeing life from their perspective.
"Maybe the best example of learning from others consists of a New York Times photo-essay featuring Sister Naisi Zhao, a Chinese college student serving as an LDS mission in Chinatown," VanDenBerghe wrote. "Before coming on her mission, Sister Zhao explains, she thought she'd only teach others, but found God needed to educate her through the people of New York. One of those people was a mother who couldn't afford a private burial for her baby. After she grabbed Sister Zhao's hands and wept, the missionary reflected on the last twenty-one years of her life and wished she had been more selfless, spending less time and energy worried about grades, weight, make-up, and her future, and more time worrying about others."
Some reader comments on VanDenBerghe's article say that the myths she wrote about are themes in "The Book of Mormon Musical."

Macy's 4th of July Fireworks back on East River in 2014 ++ Coney Island 2014 summer fireworks schedule
One good thing about having a Brooklynite for a mayor is that the annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks are now back on the East River, after a four-year stretch of being on the Hudson. Said Bill de Blasio:
I'm thrilled that, after years of working with Macy's and my colleagues to make this a reality, the fireworks will return to the East River this year! Now even more New Yorkers will get to take part in this extraordinary celebration, against the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge, the harbor and our skyline.Macy's first moved them to the Hudson in 2009 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage up the river, and kept them there.
In other NYC fireworks news, one of the city's other big 4th of July displays -- Coney Island -- is still up in the air for 2014. The city has granted fireworks permits for all the other Fridays this summer EXCEPT Friday, July 4. Does this have anything to do with Macy's move back to the East River? The Department of Parks and Recreation declined to comment when NY1 inquiried. We shall see.
Meanhwhile, the rest of the summer's fireworks at Coney Island are all set. The season kicks off with "Fireworks Week" at Brooklyn Cyclones stadium, with displays going off after the first three home games of the season: Opening Day (Saturday, June 14), then Monday, June 16, and Tuesday, June 17. There will then be fireworks after every Friday game through August 22 (with Fourth of July still a question mark, though they're listed on the Cyclones schedule). There are a few other nights fireworks will happen at Coney Island, all of which are also "theme nights":
Saturday, July 5 (vs. Aberdeen IronBirds) "Seinfeld 25th Anniversary Celebraton"And don't forget June 21 is the 2014 Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
Saturday, July 19 (vs Williamsport Crosscutters) "Country Music Night"
Saturday, July 26 (vs Vermont Lake Monsters) "Elvis Night"
Saturday, Aug 2 (vs Connecticut Tigers) "Star Wars Night"
Wednesday, Aug 13 (vs Lowell Spinners) "Kosher Kaboom Fireworks"
Saturday, Aug 23 (vs Tri-City Valley Cats) "Princess Night"
Sunday, Aug 27 (vs Staten Island Yankees) last game of the season

Lykke Li @ MoMA Party in the Garden 5/13/2014
MoMA held their annual Party in the Garden fundraiser Tuesday night (5/13). One of the big social events of the season, it started with a pricey gala dinner, followed by a not-quite-as-pricey afterparty featuring a live set from Swedish singer Lykke Li and ubiquitous DJ Questlove kept the crowd otherwise entertained. At a fancy, celeb-heavy affair like this, the live music is more of a bonus than the focus. That said, the dressed-up crowd were into her 30-minute set which mixed old favorites with songs from her brand-new album, I Never Learn. Pictures from her set and the MoMA Party in the Garden afterparty are in this post.
Lykke Li plays another tiny NYC venue (relatively speaking) -- the Apollo in Harlem -- on Thursday (5/15) which is sold out and one of a few current live dates for her in North America. More pics from MoMA below...

Adam Scott will talk "Greatest Event in Television History" on Saturday
New York Magazine's pop culture website Vulture is throwing a two-day festival this weekend (May 10 & 11), titled simply Vulture Festival, featuring a bric-a-brac of panels and events based around movies, TV, music and comedy.
Saturday (5/10) events include: a talk with Deadwood creator David Milch (noon @ Milk Studios); "The Greatest Panel in Television History" (5/10, 3 PM @ Milk Studios) with Adam Scott (Parks & Rec, Party Down) will discuss '80s TV title sequences (the basis of his Adult Swim series); a sold-out MIA/Solange show on Saturday at Webster Hall (5/10) happening after her Knockdown Center shows this week.
Sunday (5/11) events include: "Brunch with Rufus Wainwright" and Julie Klausner (5/11, 11 AM @ Milk Studios); a pop culture trivia night with the cast of Orange is the New Black (5/11, 5 PM @ Milk Studios); and a sold-out comedy night on Sunday @ The Bell House with Billy "On the Street" Eichner, Chelsea Peretti (Brooklyn Nine Nine), Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer (Broad City) and more.
Tickets to most of the panels are still available and include drink tickets. Full Vulture Festival schedule and details, below...

watch a documentary about "non-narative, nihilist, anarchist puppet show" NYC subway performer Kalan Sherrard
by Wyatt Marshall
Perhaps you've seen him at the Bedford L stop, dragging a baby doll attached to a marionette control rod along the platform or shaking something that looks a whole lot like the remnants of a dead animal in the face of an unsuspecting straphanger. His name is Kalan Sherrard, and, as Gothamist's short documentary about him confirms, that that thing probably is, indeed, a dead animal.
Of all the bizarre things you can stumble across in New York's subways, Kalan's performance art is up there in terms of weirdness. It's also pretty fascinating -- I've only ever seen him at the Bedford L, and his act is a creepy, sexualized and nonsensical affair that Kalan describes as a "non-narative, nihilist, anarchist puppet show about literary theory." His performance relies heavily on found items and he makes things out of garbage and dead animals, and there's often contact between Kalan and the crowd that inevitably assembles around him. In the video, a woman pours a drink into his mouth and he makes mention of people making out with him.
The short doc is part of Gothamist's No Your City series and shows Kalan drinking from discarded cups in trashcans and performing his act down in the Bedford station. (Gotta commend him on what looked like a super smooth MetroCard swipe.) If you ever run into Kalan, enjoy the show, but the video provides a valuable piece of information -- Kalan basically hates photography and says he'll harass people who take a snapshot and then walk away.
Gothamist's short video isn't the first time Kalan's gotten press -- he's been on the cover of New York Magazine in the past, has been featured in the Village Voice, and he appeared in coverage of Occupy Wall Street both on The Colbert Report and in Bloomberg. He was also arrested on April 6 in Times Square and charged with disorderly conduct for creating a hazardous condition -- The New York Daily News has an account and video. The News put the arrest in the context of new Police Commissioner Bill Bratton's crackdown on subway performers -- at the time of his arrest, transit police had arrested 416 people for panhandling or peddling so far this year, compared with 154 during the same time period the year before.
Watch the Gothamist video and an older Village Voice video about Kalan below...

Beefcake the Mighty using a vaporizer/Link's recorder
Today, metal spewers of juices GWAR have announced a collaboration with Mount Baker Vapors to supply the world with GWAR Fluids, a set of custom flavored e-cigarette/vaporizer liquid. Starting May 1, you'll be able to take a deep pull of Jizmoglobin -- "a creamy blueberry blend with notes of nut and custard" -- at your favorite New York bar... hold up.
Actually, no. No, you won't.
In a stroke of bad luck for Mount Baker Vapors, New York City has amended the 2002 Smoke-Free Air Act to ban e-cigarettes from offices, restaurants, parks, bars, and beaches. The change goes in effect today (4/30). So, in public spaces, e-cigarettes are now, well, cigarettes. And, yep, if you're caught sucking on Spew -- "a primarily melon flavor with hints of mixed fruits and berries" -- you'll be tagged with a fine of $100, with the owner of the establishment your smelling-up getting slapped with a $200 to $400 punishment for a first time offense.
Ouch, Mount Baker Vapors. Not even German Chocolate Beefcake -- "a sweet cake flavor with the perfect combination of chocolate, coconut, and caramel" -- is likely to alleviate that headache.
Of course, the NYC ban isn't the only instance of unfortunate/questionable timing in this case, with the sponsorship deal coming a little more than a month after the passing of Dave Murray Brockie, better known as Oderus Urungus. If you missed it, we ran a fitting tribute to the man at Invisible Oranges and here on BV. In addition, you can check out information on the Dave Brockie Foundation, set up in his honor, here. R.I.P.

4/20 was Sunday and now comes more good news for marijuana smokers in one of NYC's five boroughs: The NY Post reports that Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson issued a memo to the NYPD that his office will no longer prosecute people caught with small amounts of pot, or caught smoking it in public:
In a move that directly bucks the Police Department's own policy and that of other DAs in the city, Brooklyn prosecutors will be directing cops to free the defendants, seal their cases and destroy their fingerprint file, according to a memo sent the NYPD and obtained by The Post.This applies to defendants with clean (or mostly clean) criminal records and no outstanding warrants, and if the charge is a Class B misdemeanor pot possession (aka less than 25 grams of weed).
"The goal of this new policy is to ensure that the resources of this office are allocated in a manner that most enhances public safety, and individuals, especially young people of color, do not become unfairly burdened and stigmatized by involvement in the criminal-justice system...
...Even when the defendant is issued a [desk-appearance ticket] (sparing him or her the daunting holding-cell experience), that defendant still must make sure that he or she appears in court on the DAT arraignment date -- a trip to the courthouse and a wait in the courtroom that may eat up most of a day,'' the memo says. - [NY Post]

Just as the glow of Record Store Day is wearing off comes sad news (via EV Grieve) from EV mainstay Kim's Video & Music:
As great as #RSD2014 was (thank you all!), sadly we will be closing our store on 1st Ave. No closing date yet but 30% off ALL VIDEO and MUSIC. (all formats and NRs as well). - [Facebook]The 1st Ave store was the last of a once healthy NYC empire. It was also one of the last (maybe THE last?) places to find cult/foreign/import DVDs and Blu-Rays. Mondo Kim's on St. Mark's Place closed in 2009.

the line outside Other Music at RSD 2013 (via @brooklynvegan instagram)
We're just a few days away from Record Store Day 2014 (April 19) and quite a few of NYC's record stores have special events planned in addition to carrying all the RSD exclusive titles (check out our picks of the top releases). Here's a rundown.
The biggest in-store, probably no surprise, is at Rough Trade which will open at 9 AM and has a full day of musical performances. Hospitality and Perfect Pussy have now been added to the already announced line-up of Amen Dunes, Betty Who, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Milagres, Nothing, Palehound, and The Rails. There will be DJs too, and they've already announced which RSD exclusive releases they'll have for sale. Band schedule below.
Generation Records in the Village also has a full day of in-stores. The store opens at 10 AM, and performers include Pour The Pirate Sherry, The Golden Grass, and Daddy Long Legs, plus DJ sets from Aaron Cometbus, Doug Gillard, Mr. Fine Wine of Downtown Soulville on WFMU, Zachary Lipez and more.
Other Music, which will turn 20 next year, will open at 10 AM for RSD. It doesn't quite have the room for in-store performances and shopping at the same time (like at Rough Trade), so they have up to this point just booked musicians as DJs. This year's line-up, though, they are doing one actual live performance, with outsider artist Lonnie Holley at 1 PM. The rest of the day is DJs and the lineup includes Pop. 1280, Com Truise, Xeno & Oaklander, Matana Roberts, Pete Swanson and more. Full schedule is listed below.
Over at Kim's Video, the store is opening early at 8 AM with "refreshments" and their own slate of DJs, including Mick Collins of the Dirtbombs, plus members of Psychic Ills, Prince Rupert's Drops, and more. Full Kim's RSD schedule below.
Alex Bleeker @ In Living Stereo, RSD 2013 (via @brooklynvegan)
Around the block, In Living Stereo will open at 10 AM and have in-store performances from Chaos Chaos, Call of the Wild, and Balancer. Plus, there will be free PBR all day (ID required) and if you spend more than $100 you get a free In Living Stereo beer mug.
East Village store Turntable Lab will be open from 10 AM - 8 PM with a healthy stock of RSD14 titles and guest DJs including Aaron DRM, Alex from Tokyo, Sable, Blue Jemz, Dopeshoes, and more. Full DJ lineup is in a flyer below.
Good Records in the East Village will cary a few RSD exclusives and will be putting out a special batch of vintage vinyl just for the day. They'll be posting a list of what's in that batch on their Facebook at some point.
Greenpoint's Permanent Records will be open at 10 AM with lots of RSD exclusives, plus "plenty of fun gifts and other swag to give away to our first batch of shoppers."
At the new Academy Annex location at 85 Oak St. in Greenpoint, in addition to RSD titles they'll be putting out "a great collection of used rare '90s and '00s indie rock, punk, and a ton of classic titles."
Nearby at the Captured Tracks Shop, they'll have "a bulk of RSD-exclusive titles, including RSD-exclusive titles from Captured Tracks!" Those C/T RSD titles include a live Medicine album, and a cool Flying Nun double-pack 7" with The Chills, The Verlaines and more. Not a RSD thing, but the store will be debuting monthly artist-curated record booths, the first two of which will be from Jeremy and Jarvis from Woods and Mac DeMarco. The store opens at a 11 AM for Record Store Day and will be open until 9 PM.
Bushwick's The Crate -- the storefront for Wrecords By Monkey which makes jewelry, accessories and home products out of old vinyl records -- will have it's Grand Opening on RSD, with $1 used records and new titles from local artists, plus free beer, and DJ sets from APSPDR+ and Silent Rider.
Earwax Records, in its new N. 9th location in Williamsburg, will be open at 10 AM with a selection of RSD exclusives.
Norman's Sound & Vision, which moved from the East Village to Williamsburg a couple years ago, will have RSD exclusives and is open at 9 AM.
The Record Grouch in Greenpoint will be open regular hours (noon - 8 PM) and, while they won't be carrying any RSD exclusives, they have a stockpile of $1 records they've been holding onto just for the occasion.
Co-op 87 in Greenpoint may or may not be doing their 24-hour RSD marathon this year (they haven't decided yet) but will carry a select batch of independent label RSD exclusives as well as a whole bunch of $1 records they've been hoarding.
Halcyon Records in DUMBO has their biggest selection of RSD exclusives yet. They'll be open at 10 AM.
In the greater NY area, Fords, NJ's great Vintage Vinyl will be open at 8 AM for Record Store Day and are carrying around 300 RSD exclusive titles.
Cake Shop, who has participated in RSD the last three years, is taking this year off. The cafe and venue are still open though.
If you're going to be in the Windy City on Saturday, BV Chicago and Saki Records are teaming up again for a free Record Store Day party with live performances from Their / They're There/ ,Wedding Dress, Minor Characters, Landmarks, Meat Wave and Negative Scanner.
Please note that these stores are open year-round and need your support. In-store schedules and RSD14 flyers below...

J&R Music World closed for renovation; Wreckords by Monkey opening Bushwick store; WFMU Record Fair announce dates
by Bill Pearis
J&R's now-closed storefront (photo via @gr1fter)
More and more Manhattan fixtures seem to be disappearing. The future of Pearl Paint on Canal is shaky, and last week (4/9) J&R Music World shut its doors, though they say not for good:
J & R Music and Computer World, a mainstay music and electronics store in Lower Manhattan for 43 years, closed its doors on Wednesday to redesign its space on Park Row.While the brick and mortar storefront is closed, you can still order from J&R's website.
The move was foreshadowed in October, when the store scaled back its footprint between Ann and Beekman Streets. Once occupying eight buildings on those blocks totaling 300,000 square feet, the business was resized to five floors each at 1 Park Row and 15 Park Row. Rachelle Friedman, who with her husband, Joseph, opened J & R across from City Hall in 1971, acknowledged at the time that as part of the changes they were laying off some employees. - [NY Times]
J&R's record store was always a good place to go for Record Store Day items and was always my go-to place for tech stuff, though when I went to buy a headphone adapter there last summer the staff looked at me like I was crazy.
In happier news, Wrecords By Monkey, which makes jewelry, accessories and home products out of old vinyl records is opening a storefront, The Crate, at 304 Boerum St. in Bushwick. In addition to wares, they'll sell $1 used records and new vinyl from local musicians. The store has its Grand Opening on Saturday (4/19) which is Record Store Day:
We will be having an opening party for our new storefront The Crate on Saturday, April 19th from 12 to 9pm in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The party will have live silkscreening on reclaimed vinyl and a display of our newest collection. FREE beer, as well as DJ sets from APSPDR+ and Silent Rider and an exclusive after party from 7 to 9pm featuring DJ Codes. Limited tickets for the after party are available for free and can be picked up at the store starting at noon that day.Flyer for the opening party is below.
In other non-RSD record store news, The WFMU Record Fair returns from May 30 - June 1 at the 69th Regiment Armory in Manhattan. No word on special events and DJs yet. Stay tuned.
And before that we'll have the return of the Brooklyn Flea Record Fair on May 10 which this time is part of the Red Bull Music Academy, with DJ sets from Caroline Polachek, Autre Ne Veut, Tanlines and more.

confetti rains at Lada Gaga's Roseland farewell, 4/7/2014 (photo by @talithaanne)
Roseland this morning (photo via @sayitaintsosis)
Roseland opened in New York in 1919 and hosted icons like Count Basie in the Thirties. It relocated to its 52nd Street home (a former skating rink called Gay Blades) in the late Fifties, where a display inside touted the number of couples who'd met there and married. In the Seventies and Eighties, the spot was a disco haven; in the Nineties its 3,500-capacity crowds moshed to Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Its next occupants will be a 59-story apartment building, according to the New Yorker.Lada Gaga's seven-show run at Roseland came to a close last night (4/7) and with it the end of one of New York City's most famous clubs which had been in its present location since 1958.
As a Manhattan native, chances are Gaga has many connections to the club, but she didn't regale the crowd with any personal stories about transformative nights on Roseland's famously springy dance floor (she earlier told a reporter about a Franz Ferdinand show there during her senior year of high school where she broke her nose in the pit). Instead, she stuck to her usual self-empowerment lectures ("Do you love you? Then scream!") and spent an outsized amount of time bidding farewell to the female dancer who slithered across the stage with her for Artpop's squelchy bisexual romp "Sexx Dreams." - [Rolling Stone]
Roseland was also home to the annual, over-the-top gay dancefest The Black Party and The Village Voice has a cover story on it, the venue and the changing face (and location) of club culture in NYC:
Pevner scouted other venues, but the Black Party not only needs a dance floor large enough to accommodate thousands of people, but also an entire weekend to install its own soundsystem and light rigs. The Saint at Large, which has held the party at Roseland for a quarter century, had a two-year option extending through 2015. "I told my lawyer to write a letter to address that we employ a staff full-time to work on this," Pevner says, "and if you're going to renege, here's the settlement." Pevner insisted that Ginsberg keep the club open at least through the third weekend in March, the one nearest the vernal equinox, which the party celebrates. According to Pevner, "They didn't want to end with the Black Party." So Ginsberg ended up with a win-win: Gaga gets reams of publicity and the club goes out in a blaze of glory.I saw a lot of shows at Roseland, though mostly in the '90s -- Blur, and Oasis come to mind and I got to go to the Rolling Stones show there in 2002. My last visit there was for Big Audio Dynamite in 2011. I was never crazy about seeing shows there, but I always dug the classic vibe. What shows did you see there?
Still, serious dance enthusiasts will always remember the club more for its unobstructed quarter-acre dance floor than as a midsize concert venue. Everything about Roseland was outsize, right down to its 14 coat-check windows.
More than anything, Roseland's closing marks the most painful sign to date that New York City's big rooms have become an endangered species. That a luxury residential space will likely replace it confirms the main culprit: an insatiable appetite for upscale housing that has transformed Manhattan, from the financial district to Harlem and beyond -- what Fordham professor Mark Caldwell, author of New York Night: The Mystique and Its History, has called "galloping gentrification."
Roseland, you'll be missed.
Portishead famously played their in the late 90s. I say famous because not only was it an exciting show at the time, the show was recorded for a live album and DVD. Watch the whole thing (via someone uploading it to YouTube), below...

Nouns Vrsta: Seminarski | Broj strana: 10 | Nivo: VEŠ Peć – Leposavić INTRODUCTION Nouns are words that indicate the name of a person, animal, object, place or idea. Nouns are built by adding a prefix or suffix and may be complex or verbs. In English and compound nouns are created by merging the two nouns, and nouns or attachment gerunda and nouns. Types of nouns are: proper nouns, common nouns, nouns material, collective noun and abstract nouns. Gender in English is different from the gender of nouns in Serbian language, as in the Serbian language is gender and the fact the so-called "gender" and gender of nouns in English follow the so-called "natural family". Gender nouns are divided into nouns: masculine, female gender (feminine), the middle branch (neuter) and common genus (common gender). There are two numbers and nouns: singular and plural. In English, nouns are divided into countable and uncountable. Nouns Kinds and function A noun tell us what someone or something is called. For example, a noun can be the name of person (John); a job title (doctor); the name of thing (radio); the name of place (London); the name of quality (courage); or the name of an action (laughter). There are five kinds of nouns in English: Proper nouns: France, Madrid, Mrs Smith, Tom Material nouns: water, milk, coffee, bread, paper, sugar Common nouns: dog, man, table, house, doctor, apple Abstract nouns: beauty, charity, courage, fear, joy, pride Collective nouns: crowd, flock, group, swarm, team, army Nouns are the names we give to people, things, places, etc. in order to identify them. Many nouns are used after a determiner, e.g. a, the, this and often combine with other words to form a noun phrase: the man, the man next door, that tall building, the old broom in the cupboard. Nouns and noun phrases answer the questions Who? Or What? and may be: the subject of a verb; Our agent in Cairo sent a telex this morning. The direct object of a verb; Frank sent an urgent telex from Cairo this morning. The indirect object of a verb; Frank sent his boss a telex. The object of a preposition; I read about it in the paper. The complement of be or a related verb like seem; Jane is our guest. used "in apposition" Laura Myers, a BBC reporter, asked for a interview. ---------- OSTATAK TEKSTA NIJE PRIKAZAN.

Congratulations to Dr. Helen Huang
Director of the Rehabilitation Engineering Core (REC)
Please join us in offering Professor Helen Huang your warmest congratulations on her recent appointment as the director of the Rehabilitation Engineering Core (REC) at NC State and UNC. The REC, like BME itself, unites the University of North Carolina and NC State University in order to encourage and engender groundbreaking collaborative science between the two institutions. The Co-Interim Director of the Center, Dr. Rick Wysk, commented that Dr. Huang is the "perfect person for this opportunity." Louis Martin-Vega, the Dean of NC State's College of Engineering, in addition to offering his congratulations, noted that he "looks forward to her leadership in this very special and unique effort in our College!" With her innovative research in the creation of neural-machine interfacing technologies, Dr. Huang is perfectly positioned and qualified to lead the Rehabilitation Engineering Center as it continues to prosper and grow. Congratulations to Helen on this exciting new step in her career!…
The North Carolina State University Office of the Provost announced on November 22, 2013 that Dr. Greg Sawicki will be one of the 2013-2014 University Faculty Scholars. Dr. Sawicki was one of seven total nominees that the College of Engineering nominated for the prestigious awards—the most that the college was allowed to nominate for the program. Professor and Dean of the College of Engineering, Louis Martin-Vega, noted that the award was very well deserved and offered his sincere congratulations.
The University Faculty Scholars program was established in 2012 to reward excellence in early- and mid-career faculty at NCSU. To meet eligibility requirements, faculty members must be assistant professors who have been reappointed for a second term, associate professors, or full professors in their first three years serving at that rank. The program was designed as an effort by the university to invest in and retain high quality faculty members; it is funded through donations by Jim and Ann Goodnight and William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust. With this award, Dr. Sawicki will hold the title of University Faculty Scholar and receive a $10,000 annual supplement for the next five years to enhance his already outstanding work. Although only in its second year, Dr. Sawicki will be BME's second faculty member to receive this prominent honor. Please join all of BME in offering Dr. Sawicki our sincere congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
To read more about the 2013 - 2014 class of University Faculty Scholars, please see the announcement on NCSU's Bulletin.…
Dr. Greg Sawicki's work was recently highlighted in the November 14thissue of Nature. This citation, from a journal in its 503rd volume of publication with a longstanding history of excellent scientific journalism, is a notable external recognition of the successful work emerging from Dr. Sawicki's research program. The article by Peter Gwynne, part of a supplement all about the spine, overviews the state of robotic exoskeletons which give mobility to people with spinal cord injuries. The article notes that Dr. Sawicki's work with ankle plantarflexors offers an innovative approach to regain movement for some patients who can stand but not walk after spinal cord injuries. By creating an elastic solution that extends the foot at the correct time during stepping, Dr. Sawicki's work offers a way to facilitate movement that falls outside of complex and bulky robotic exoskeletons.
To read about Dr. Sawicki's work and all the exciting developments at the intersection of spinal cord rehabilitation, robotics, and exoskeletons, read the full article, "Technology: Mobility Machines," on Nature's website: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v503/n7475_supp/full/503S16a.html
BME Undergrad Jeffrey Powell Featured on WUNC Radio
"In case you missed it, there was a great interview on WUNC radio with BME senior Jeff Powell, who made a 3-D printed hand for local 7 year old boy Holden Mora. Congratulations to Jeff for doing such a great job to help Holden, and this really shows the positive impact that we can have as biomedical engineers on the lives of other people. Jeff also did a great job in the interview, although I have to admit that Holden steals the show"shares Richard Goldberg, Associate Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The interview and story are here:
Dr. Helen Huang's work on brain-connected prostheses has once again made an appearance in the press. In late January, both the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News and Observer reported on Dr. Huang's development of smarter prostheses that utilize brain signals to help deal with changes in terrain, speed, and type of activity. The goal of Huang's work is to program a bionic leg to respond to specific brain activity patterns associated with a specific command, such as bending the knee. Congratulations to Professor Huang on the well-deserved publicity!…

Juan Carlos is an unbelievably helpful host: came to meet me at the airport, showed me round town, took me to various addresses when needed... even helped me plan the itinerary for my tour round Misiones!
A lovely guy.
Good double room with A/C & nice view of the river.
When you travel a lot like us we are particulary interested in places worth THE " detour" . Reason being of course these places are " jewels" in a trip.
Our message to THE world today is :
Juan Carlos place is worth THE detour !!!
Lovely place and a very fine family.
Thank you again Juan Carlos.
Juan Carlos, Norma and their family were great hosts. Not only they were aware that public transportation in Posadas can be difficult, and picked us up at the bus station and brought to the airport, but also Juan Carlos accompanied us by car to a wildlife recovery center outside the city. He also gave us two bikes to tour Posadas and told us a lot of insightful analysis on Argentina, the province of Misiones and Posadas. They love their home town, and will make everything to make you love it as well, while feeling more than at home. We will definitely stay again at Juan Carlos' next time in Posadas. The room is quite large, with a huge and confortable bed, private bathroom with fridge and tv set. Wonderful terrace on the Paraná river. Conveniently located. Thanks Juan Carlos, Norma and Mattias!
We stayed with Juan Carlos and his lovely family for two nights only. We should have stayed for longer. The place is fantastic, with a phenomenal view over the river to the paraguayan side.
Juan Carlos and his family are very forthcoming and welcoming.
Right when we met them, we had the impression, that we where meeting very dear friends. When we left, we felt like part of the familie already.
In our opinion Posadas is much underestimated and worth staying longer. Especially, if you're looking for a beautiful place to recover.
Tuve la suerte de ir a la casa de Juan Carlos y Norma !! There is no better place to stay in Posadas !!!
At first I did not plan to stay in Posadas, but the comments about their place decided me. And i did not regret it at all!!! Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations. Juan picked me up at the omnibus station, helped me with everything during my stay. I will always remember the trip all around Posadas, visiting the Missiones with Juan Carlos y Eliana was the better way to learn about the Guarani culture. And i will remember the oso hormiguero tambien ;-)
It is important to say that the place is great, the view is amazing, the
room is so confortable and everything was perfect (again ;-))
Merci beaucoup beaucoup :-)
Muchas gracias Juan !!!!
It was wonderful in your home, you and your family are amazing people, Kai likes very much to come back and I try to join in next time.
And last but not least the great view you have .
all the best Kai and Dorissa
Wir hatten zu dritt ein wunderbares helles Zimmer, eine große Terasse
mit Blick auf den Fluß und Juan Carlos hat sich viel Zeit für uns
genommen und war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Leider
hatten wir nur einen Tag Zeit, der uns aber bestens in Erinnerung
bleiben wird, vielen Dank auch nochmal für den Flughafentransfer und den
tollen Ausflug zu den Missiones!

Hola tengo 52 años, me gusta la fotografia, el ciclismo, conocer ciudades y recorrer nuevos lugares, conocer gente de cultura diferente y decubrir las costumbres de cada lugar, las playas de Brasil y los montes de Misiones son mi cable a tierra.
Me encanta compartir los tiempos libres con mis dos hijos e intercambiar ideas sobre el mundo en general, de lo que fue , de nuestro presente y tratar de ver lo que se viene. Ellos juntos a mis huespedes son referentes del mundo globalizado en que vivimos . Esto me permite proyectarme hacia el futuro tratando de vivir un poco mejor y disfrutar de la vida que es una condicion para ser feliz.
Los espero para intercambiar vivencias y quedar con (website hidden) y recuerdos de buenos momentos . Hasta pronto, los espero Juanca
Vivo a 70 kilometros de las ruinas de San Ignacio, a 340 kilometros de las Cataratas del Iguazu, y toda la provincia es ideal para realizar turismo ecologico, cientos de cascadas de agua, grutas naturales, lugares inpenetrables con montes milenarios donde se encuentran pumas, cocodrilos, ciervos y toda clase de aves.
Si me permites compartir contigo algun paseo por nuestra Misiones, te espero, seguramente alguna buena anecdota nos quedara . Saludos

Billions for Haiti, a criticism for every dollar
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti The world's bill for the Haitian earthquake is large and growing - now $2.2 billion - and so is the criticism about how the money is being spent.
A half-million homeless received tarps and tents; far more are still waiting under soggy bed sheets in camps that reek of human waste. More than 4.3 million people got emergency food rations; few will be able to feed themselves anytime soon. Medical aid went to thousands, but long-term care isn't even on the horizon.
International aid groups and officials readily acknowledge they are overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster. Haitian leaders - frustrated that billions are bypassing them in favor of U.N. agencies and American and other non-governmental organizations - are whipping up sentiment against foreign aid groups they say have gone out of control.
In the past few days, someone scrawled graffiti declaring "Down with NGO thieves" along the cracked walls that line the road between Port-au-Prince's international airport, the temporary government headquarters, and a U.N. base.
Ahead of a crucial March 31 post-quake donors conference in New York, many are taking a hard look at the money that's flowed in so far.
First the good news: Assistance has indeed been pouring into Haiti, sometimes from unexpected places.
Donations from Americans for earthquake relief in Haiti have surpassed $1 billion, with about one-third going to the American Red Cross, the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University said Friday. Other major recipients include Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and the U.S. wing of Doctors Without Borders, according to a separate report by the Chronicle for Philanthropy.
An analysis of U.N. data shows that private donations make up the bulk of the total, accounting for more than $980 million of what has already been delivered or that donors have promised.
The United States leads all countries with its commitments of $713 million - with Canada, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union among other top donors. Saudi Arabia poured $50 million of its oil wealth into the U.N. Emergency Response Relief Fund. Even countries with their own troubles rushed to Haiti's aid: Afghanistan provided $200,000.
A Nevada real estate developer agreed to send $5 million worth of circus tents formerly used by Cirque du Soleil. Leonardo DiCaprio and Coca-Cola are each sending $1 million. Dollar General is donating $100,000. Hanesbrands is shipping 2 million pairs of underwear.
But leaders including Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive are not happy with the way the aid money is being delivered.
"The NGOs don't tell us ... where the money's coming from or how they're spending it," he told The Associated Press. "Too many people are raising money without any controls, and don't explain what they're doing with it."
Haiti wanted aid organizations to register with the government long before the quake, a goal identified as a priority by former U.S. President Bill Clinton when he was named U.N. special envoy in 2009. But it was never completed.

Marshawn Lynch's atrocious golf swing is a mesmerizing mess
JUN 24, 2014 8:17p ET
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may be a punishing presence on the gridiron, but as far as golf courses are concerned, the only punishment occurring involving Lynch is felt by the people bearing witness to his atrocious golf swing.
Lynch hit the links on Monday for "The Big Golf Game," a charitable event benefiting his Fam 1st Family Foundation. And as you can see above, obviously Lynch is not a golfer. His swing is flat-out terrible.
But hey, it was all for charity. And quite frankly, who is going to razz a man known for going "Beast Mode" about his golf swing?
Maybe a pre-round snack of Skittles would have helped. Or perhaps Lynch would have fared better had some patrons showered Lynch with his favorite snack while the running back was on the tee box.
Actually, there's really nothing that could have made it much worse. From the swing to the results, everything involving Lynch's golf game is one hot mess.
Here's another look-see at the disastrous debacle:
Hoo boy. More like "Least Mode," am I right?

Love the Black signing. He was undrafted because of a poor combine showing, but he was able to start 53 consecutive games for an SEC powerhouse like LSU, and offers positional flexibility with the ability to play RT or guard.

I can't believe that BG's Freddie Barnes ended up signing as a free agent. 155 rec. and 1770 yds in one season seems worthy of at least a 7th round pick.
I know Antonio Cromartie is a Tallahassee kid, and that Domonique Rodgers - Cromartie in Arizona is his cousin. Also know that my area has sent several kids out to UTEP. Is Dixon - Cromartie related to the other two?
Remember speculation amongst mock draft types that Ciron Black was a potential late 1st rounder after his junior year. Wow. What adifference a year makes.

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this Inn to anyone wanting to experience the flavor of the wine country.
3.8 on March 03, 2015
The breakfast was delicious. The wine hour was not as much fun as usual, given that the wine rep had been told it was a "tasting" and the white wine was gone within a half hour.Otherwise, we love the Inn, and the location cannot be beat.

I whisked my wife away for 2 days in wine country. Healdsburg is our favorite. the Healdsburg Inn on the Plaza has parking behind it based on availability, but easy to get to. The breakfast was nicely done, coffee tasty. We walked to all our dinners at night, which was convenient. We really enjoyed the stay.

Make access to my unit 24/7 instead of present times
The one woman worker read the gas gauge as 1/8th of a tank, when I returned it. I had stopped just a mile earlier and added $6.00 more gasoline to bring it to 3/8th of a tank. There were 5 characters: E (for empty), a line for 1/4, a line for 1/2, a line for 3/4, then F (for full). She was adamant that the reading between 1/4th and 1/2 was ONE-EIGHTH (1/8) and consequently charged me an extra $71.00 for fuel. Had to get her supervisor on the phone to teach her that simple math fraction. Amazing! She was not happy with my persistence that 3/8 was the actual reading.
You should ask for a review of uHaul company and not just of the locations.
U Haul charged me 60 dollars extra for returning the truck 90 minutes late. Thus is a poor business practice. I will try my best NOT to use UHaul again. If you care about these comments you will contact me and hear my experience first hand.
Had to hook up trailer by myself. Lady did not offer help or to find help. I am 100% disabled combat vet recovering from surgery and exceeded my limits to do the employee job.

In thinking about the most high-profile gigs in Hollywood, the host of the annual Academy Awards ranks right up at the top in terms of its megawatt visibility. And because of the various stressors and risks associated with the job, it makes sense that many more people would turn down the gig versus those who would accept it — including recently announced 2013 host Seth MacFarlane.
Just last year, at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, MTV News asked MacFarlane if he'd ever consider throwing his hat in the ring as a future Oscar host, and this is what he had to say:
"No!" he said definitively. "Nobody knows who I am. I think you have to at least be on a cable show first."
My, how the times have changed! MacFarlane's stock has been a very safe bet in recent years, given his hugely successful shows "Family Guy" and "American Dad," but 2012 has been a particularly banner year for the actor/writer/director/funnyman thanks to his box-office-ruling summer comedy "Ted," along with a well-received performance hosting "Saturday Night Live" and his turn as an Emmy presenter.
Contrary to what MacFarlane told us in 2011 about no one knowing who he is, we're pretty sure he doesn't have to worry about that anymore, although he did admit in an interview with Deadline that he was very surprised to be asked to host.
"[I'm] ecstatic. I was surprised," he said. "I have done a fair amount of hosting in the past, but nothing of this magnitude. I was very, very pleasantly surprised."
The 85th annual Academy Awards will be broadcast live February 24, 2013, on ABC.

can I cut back bleeding heart yet?
I have a bleeding heart in a small bed beside my house where there used to be shade but due to a fallen tree it's now pretty sunny. The bleeding heart has gotten HUGH and while it is pretty in earlier spring while it blooms, it pretty quickly gets too big for the space and overshadows everything else. I am used to letting it begin to yellow and get ready to go dormant before I cut it back later in the summer. But I would sure like to do that now and free up the bed.
What do you think? Would it survive?
Also...how does one propagage bleeding heart? I have other places I would like it better!!
thanks for any advice
It will die back on its own in time so leave it be. I have included a link to propagating bleeding heart.
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials
If you cut it back before it yellows off, it will come back smaller next year. The problem lies in deciding how early will make it smaller and how early will kill it.
The plant gains mass from it's leaves. Cut the leaves back and it can't make food to grow....cut too much too early and it can't make food to live.
Linda C
I kind of go against the rules a lot. I cut mine back a couple of days ago, as I do every year at this time. The reason is, it becomes too big, and overwhelms the area it is in.
It hasn't done mine any harm, at all, to cut it back. It looks nicer now. Not saying it would work for anyone else, though.
leave it.. just before it is complete yellowed... and ready to disappear.. move it to a space where you can let it do its own thing ...
there are better times to move perennials..like fall or spring... the only problem is that you cant find them.. or forget to do it.. since they disappeared ... i have one plant i have been meaning to move for 10 years ... lol ..
mark the new spot very well .. as you might forget its there next spring .... or in fall you will plant some bulbs in the middle of it.. been there.. done that ...lol
I have done it all to my bleeding heart and here is my experience.
If you cut back the very long branches and leave the remaining undergrowth behind it will look like a smallish greenish shrub (about 1/2 the size of the original) until it starts to yellow and die back on its own. THEN, cut back the rest.
I cut back most of mine late last year all at the same time because it continued to bloom well into July (mine is in full shade though)and it did not flower well this year at all!
As for moving it....be aware that it is MY experience that they have a tap root similar to lupins and you have to go deep when you move it. The less you disturb the tap root the better chance you have at having it come back again.
That said, they are pretty hardy for the most part.
Good luck!
I find Dicentra spectabilis easy to propagate. The crown of the plant is very brittle and most any decent size piece of it will survive if transplanted it. This Spring I moved a very large white bleeding heart that overshadowed one of my husband's favorite dwarf hemlocks. I split it into 5 good size pieces. Three are in my garden and two I gave away. All are doing well. The white one also puts out lots of seedlings for me.
Gosh,, thanks all for the different experiences. I am going to do the "cut half of it back" think and then the rest when it yellows and also take a couple of pieces of the crown and propagate. So...all advice taken in one way or another!!!
I agree with everyone who said to wait to cut it back. But the simplest way to cover its yellowing foliage is to plant something bigger in front of it. Plant something that comes up late, so it wont cover the BH until its done blooming.
I planted a Lobelia cardinalis and a Platycodon right next to my Dicentra. Both those are inverted V shapes that widen out at the top so they cover what's below pretty well. I can already see I put them too close and they'll need to be moved before it gets worse but they do cover up the dying Dicentra foliage. In my half shade damp garden that Dicentra foliage hangs on forever - I can't wait for it to finally give up and go.
