A 14-Year Old's Journey from $300 to $2.1 Million
3Several years ago Maddie Bradshaw hit the one million dollar mark and turned a hobby she loved into a profitable company with sales reaching 50,000 units per month. What kind of craze could yield such returns, one may ask?
Locker inspiration and magnetic bottlecaps! Bradshaw found her inspiration in some old bottlecaps, created fun designs and displayed them in her locker for the whole world to see. Sooner than later her classmates were begging Bradshaw to design more bottlecaps. But Bradshaw's inspiration didn't stop there. She later turned her bottle cap designs into fun jewelry, creating a necklace with interchangeable charms.
Alongside successful entrepreneur, Bradshaw can now add accomplished author to her list of accolades with the recent release of her new book, "Maddie Bradshaw's You Can Start a Business, Too!" The book is written to capture the tween and teen market. Meanwhile, Maddie continues to grow her business and currently sells her SNAP CAPS bottlecap necklaces to over 2,500 retail channel partners nationally with annual revenue of 2.1 million per year. Learn how Maddie got started and the greatest lesson in her success.
Company: m3 girl designs
Founder, Age: Maddie Bradshaw, 14 & Margot Bradshaw, 10
Location: Dallas, Texas
Startup Year: 2006
Startup Costs: $300
How I Got Started:
At the age of ten, when I was going into middle school, I wanted original magnets for my locker that no one else had. However, since I couldn't find any I liked, I decided to make my own. I went to my uncle who has an old-fashioned coke machine and asked him if I could use some of his bottle caps. From there, I drew up designs, put them into the bottle caps, and eventually, I decided to turn my magnets into an interchangeable necklace.
Best Success Story:
I think there is a great lesson in my success. It teaches girls, around my sister's age (10) the real tools that can be used to start a business, the importance of owning a business while having a well-balanced life. Both my sister and I are very surprised that we have made so much money considering our company started with only $300! I am saving my money for a car and for college. Margot is saving hers for college as well.
Biggest Startup Challenge:
It was not a challenge for me; it was a hobby that turned into a business. I find drawing very relaxing. I'm honestly just a normal kid. I play sports, right now I'm on my school swim team, and am apart of clubs and committees at school. Since I just draw the original artwork, it's not really difficult for me to juggle all of my activities.
#1 Tips for Entrepreneurs:
My advice for anyone, at any age, who wants to start their own business, is to follow your dreams, and make sure you are doing what you love.

Interviewing MMA Fighters... Help with questions please
As some of you may already know, i've got some interviews lined up with high level pro MMA fighters, namely JJ Ambrose and Anthony Leone for the time being.
I was wondering whether you guys could help me with some questions, i've got a few so far: How old were you when you began MMA? What was your toughest fight ever? Who is your dream fight? Who do you dislike in MMA? Whom do you respect or emulate? Do you have a favourite fighter? What is your stance on PEDS and TRT? Do fighters ever throw fights? What are the best and worst things about being a high level pro MMA fighter? Thanks guys :D |
If you were to give a young kid, just starting out in MMA one piece of advice, what would it be?
What is your proudest moment in MMA? Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck, or 10 duck sized horses? |
great Q Killz, keep 'em coming :D
Thoughts on WMMA.
Fondest fight memory The one guy they don't want to fight Worst part about prepping for a fight Pre fight meal Fight any person Alive or dead That's all I got for now. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 |
I think with some of the questions, depending on their answers you should ask follow up questions. you'll probably have to make them up on the fly though.
P.S, I suggest recording the interview and than transcribing it/editing it after, rather than sitting writing down everything as they say it. |
Yeah i've gotta figure out a way to do that. I asked Anthony and he said he'd rather do it in person, so i'll have to record so as not to waste his time.
on your phone perhaps?
Haha I don't have one, it's cool, one of the girls who's here is going to lend me hers. This is exciting! I'm gonna take some photos of them against a white wall so someone can do a bit of editing on a picture for us. I'd do it but shitty resources over here.
KRY or myself can sort you out with any graphics needs you may have :)
If you can shoot the picture in RAW and get it to me I can have a play around. But chances are if you know someone who can lend you a camera with RAW ability they'll be able to shoot the picture and process it anyways.
I don't think the 'do fighters ever throw fights' question is a good one. Sounds kinda disrespectful imo. 'Coming off of two split decisions, do you feel the need or pressure to win your next fight in a more convincing manner?' Not sure if that's a smart question, but I want to know how fighters do feel when they're in that kinda situation. Obviously for Leone. |

Quarterback spot uncertain again at LSU

It doesn't sound like LSU's newest starting quarterback, Brandon Harris, is about to let his recent promotion go to his head.
The mere sight of Brandon Harris taking the field for LSU brought a cascade of cheers from Tigers fans who had made it clear they wanted to see more of the freshman quarterback.
LSU running back Kenny Hilliard tries to break a tackle by Jalen Collins during
LSU's spring game Saturday at Tiger Stadium. Hilliard finished with 16 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown as a member of the White team. The White team rolled past the Purple squad, 42-14. Hilliard also was honored as one of the recipients of the Eric Andolsek Leadership Award for outstanding leadership in spring offensive drills as well as the Ralph Norwood Performance Award for outstanding performance in spring offensive drills. West St. Mary alum Jerald Hawkins also received both of these awards. Another St. Mary Parish product, Central Catholic's Conner LeBlanc, was a member of the Purple and White teams as a snapper.

Brandon Harris' first snap in Tiger Stadium went awry.

Fantastic flavors. Anyone who grows cherry tomatoes should love this recipe. I made it exactly as written and was not disappointed.
Cooked this for a casual dinner party - everything except the actual grilling could be done ahead. Guests loved it. We had meat left over (from about 3.5# steak) but NO tomatoes. I didn't think they were all that, but the guests scraped the dish.
Was wonderful. I put fresh cherry tomatoes from my garden and added more of the herbs then suggested. I will certainly save this recipe and make it every cherry tomato season!
Delicious! Made the flank steak exactly as stated and like the previous reviewers said, the herbs stayed green, moist and fragrant, and did not burn off on the grill. I did however substitute another great tomato dish from this site (Double Tomato Salad with Capers and Olives - Bon Appetit) which is similar to this except it uses capers and sun-dried tomatoes instead of basil.
I have made this receipe several times and it is great. My husband is in the organic food business so we have fresh produce, herbs and organic meat. I use either the balsamic or the sherry vinegar and tend to only marinate a few hours. I make the sauce ahead and let it sit. I like my meat on the rare side, after it sits I pour over the sauce then add some plain feta and parsley. It is a crowd pleaser.
I've made this recipe several times, and it is always a crowd pleaser. This may be taboo, but I used dried herbs (half as much as the recipe calls for), double the garlic, cut the salt down to one tsp, throw it all in a Ziploc back (including the oil), mix it together, and then drop the meat in and coat the steak using the bag. I only use one steak, so it is entirely coated with the herbs. Some may say this is over seasoning the meat, but I have never had one complaint. I also have never made the tomato topping, so I know the steak is great on its own.
This was excellent. The marinade is really more of a rub, however, the steak really absorbed the flavors of the herbs when marinated overnight. The tomatoes were a very lovely compliment to the meat, light and refreshing with a depth of flavor. We did not have sherry vinegar, so just used red wine vinegar and it was great.
The only thing better than the meal itself is making extra, so that the next night you can do this: slice some good, thick sourdough bread and spread a little goat cheese on each slice, then layer on some thinly sliced flank steak and a little of the tomato and olive mixture. Brush some olive oil on and grill over low heat. Hands down, my husband's favorite leftovers ever.
We used buffalo flank steak from Whole Foods Market and marinated it for about 12 hours. My husband raved and we will definitely make this again. I was afraid the herbs would burn while on the grill, but they did not. A very flavorful dish.
I've made this recipe twice for parties I've thrown, and though the chopping is very time-consuming, it's more than worth it. Everyone loves it, and it's one of the most memorable dishes we've made at our house. Love it!

I know you like the idea of teacup pigs and teacup chihuahuas but this is not how those particular animals came to be and this is not how you turn me into a teacup cat. I am kind of enjoying the cool water though. Is that normal?
*PS – rest assured, it is not hot water.
This is distressing. It reminds me of horrible things being done to cats and dogs and anyway I wish people would stop bathing their cats unless they really have a toxic substance on their fur. Sorry to be so gloomy this morning.
I'm sorry, of course there are other situations in which a cat will need a bath but this poor kitty really does not look happy in that pot!

I knew it was passed on internally but could it be that due to the obvious abuse that could go on pr from noframe tags is not passed on to external websites? Or is a link in a noframe tag not given any special treatment?
Quite a toughy I guess, but maybe someone has tested or has seen evidence of one or the other.
Cheers alan
This was news to me, and imo is significant for those that advertise on framed websites and those with sister sites for example.
This is however based on the analysis of just 2 websites (sticky for anyalysis), so I'd appreciate confirmation from others.
It used to show up as a backlink, but not anymore. So I guess, that PR is also not passed on anymore.
ach du meine sch...
I think it must be a relatively recent change and very good to know.

Describes the status of one or more volumes. Volume status provides the result of the checks performed on your volumes to determine events that can impair volume performance. The performance of a volume can be affected if an issue occurs on the volume's underlying host. If the volume's underlying host experiences a power outage or system issue, once the system is restored, there could be data inconsistencies on the volume. Volume events notify you if this occurs. Volume action notifies you if any action needs to be taken in response to the event.
The DescribeVolumeStatus
operation provides the following information about
the specified volumes:
Status: Reflects the current status of the volume. The possible
values are ok
, impaired
, or insufficient-data
. If
all checks pass, the overall status of the volume is ok
. If the check fails,
the overall status is impaired
. If the status is
, then the checks may still be taking place on your volume at
the time. We recommend that you retry the request. For more information on volume status,
see Monitoring the Status of Your
Events: Reflect the cause of a volume status and may require you to
take an action. For example, if your volume returns an impaired
status, then
the volume event might be potential-data-inconsistency
. This means that your
volume has been impacted by an issue with the underlying host, has all I/O operations
disabled, and may have inconsistent data.
Actions: Reflect the actions you may have to take in response to an
event. For example, if the status of the volume is impaired
and the volume
event shows potential-data-inconsistency
, then the action will show
. This means that you may want to enable the I/O operations
for the volume by issuing the ec2-enable-volume-io command and then checking the volume for
data consistency.
Volume status is based on the volume status checks, and does not reflect the volume state.
Therefore, volume status does not indicate volumes in the error
state (for example, when a volume is incapable of accepting I/O.)
The short version of this command is ec2dvs.
If you are using the AWS CLI, see describe-volume-status instead.
[[--filter "name
"] ...]
Name | Description |
One or more volume IDs. Type: String Default: Describes the status of all your volumes. Required: No Example: vol-4282672b |
A filter for limiting the results. For more information, see the Supported Filters section. Filter names and values are case-sensitive. Use quotation marks if the value string has a space ("name=value example"). On a Windows system, use quotation marks even without a space in the value string ("name=valueexample"). If you are using Windows Powershell, you might need to use a second set of quotation marks, escaped with backticks ("`"name=valueexample`""). Type: String Default: Describes all your volumes, or only those you specified. Required: No Example: --filter "volume-status.status=Ok" |
You can specify filters so that the response includes information for only certain volumes. For example, you can use a filter to specify that you're interested in volumes that have impaired
status. You can specify multiple values for a filter. The response includes information for a volume only if it matches at least one of the filter values that you specified.
You can specify multiple filters; for example, specify volumes that are in a specific Availability Zone and have the status impaired
. The response includes information for a volume only if it matches all the filters that you specified. If there's no match, no special message is returned; the response is simply empty.
You can use wildcards in a filter value. An asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters, and a question mark (?) matches exactly one character. You can escape special characters using a backslash (\) before the character. For example, a value of \*amazon\?\\
searches for the literal string *amazon?\

Great Blue Hill (Native Americans called it Massachusett) is a hill of 635 feet (194 m) located within the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton and Canton, Massachusetts 10 miles (15 km) southwest of downtown Boston. It is the highest point in Norfolk County. The modern name for the hill was given by early European explorers who, while sailing along the coastline, noticed the bluish hue of the exposed granite faces when viewed from a distance (due to Riebeckite). The Blue Hills's eastern slopes face the ocean and lie within Quincy. The area attracted quarrying for its "blue granite".[3] The name of the Massachusett Indian tribe and their language (and thus the name of the Bay, Colony, state, etc.) derive from the Massachusett name of the hill: massa-adchu-es-et, where massa- is "large", -adchu- is "hill", -es- is a diminutive suffix meaning "small", and -et is a locative suffix, identifying a place.[4]
The north and west sides of Great Blue Hill drain into the Neponset River, and thence into Boston Harbor. The south and east sides of Great Blue Hill drain into the Blue Hill River, thence into the Farm River, Monatiquot River, Weymouth Fore River, and into Boston Harbor.
Its summit is the highest point in Norfolk County and also the highest within 10 miles of the Atlantic coast south of central Maine. For this reason, American meteorologist Abbott Lawrence Rotch chose Great Blue Hill as the site for an observatory, which became known as the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory after its completion in 1885. Rotch conducted ground-breaking studies of the atmosphere at Blue Hill for many years, and meteorological data is still gathered at the site. From the Eliot Tower at the summit, the city of Boston and many of the surrounding hills of the Milton and Canton area are visible.
Other information[edit]
Great Blue Hill, and the Blue Hills Reservation in general, is a popular hiking destination, valued as much for its splendid trails and views as for its proximity to the metropolitan area. There is also alpine skiing available at Blue Hills Ski Area, consisting of eight trails served by a double chair and two surface lifts.
The well-known Boston public television and radio station WGBH takes its call letters from Great Blue Hill, the original location of the station's FM and TV transmitters. WGBH-FM still transmits from the site. The TV station moved its antenna to a taller tower in the 1960s.[5] Also, the NOAA Weather Radio station serving Metro and Greater Boston and adjacent coastal waters, KHB35, also transmits atop the hill.[6][7]
In 1980, the hill was the location of a prank where it was alleged that the former volcano was erupting.[8][9]

Radio Free Cherokee: Endangered Languages Take to the Airwaves
Loris Taylor, the CEO and president of Native Public Media, still has the scars on her hands from when she was caught speaking Hopi in school and got the sharp end of the ruler as a result. "They hit so hard, the flesh was taken off," she remembers. "Deep down inside, it builds some resistance in you."
Now, she's at the forefront of a movement to revive dead and dying languages using an old medium: radio. As CEO and president of Native Public Media, she's lobbied the FCC and overseen projects to get increasingly rare tongues like Hopi onto airwaves so that Native Americans can keep their ancestors' ways of speaking alive—and pass those ways of speaking to new generations.
Similar efforts are taking place worldwide. In Ireland, Dublin's youthful Top-40 Raidio Ri-Ra and Belfast's eclectic indie Raidio Failte have been broadcasting entirely in Irish for several years. In Washington, D.C. earlier this month, indigenous radio producers from Peru, Mexico, Canada, El Salvador, and a handful of other countries gathered for the "Our Voices on the Air" conference, organized by the 40-year-old nonprofit Cultural Survival and the Smithsonian's Recovering Voices program....

Atomic Kitten design cosmetics line
Brands & Merch Business News
'Whole Again' pop trio Atomic Kitten are going to release a new cosmetic range, and maybe even a new track or something, so that's nice.
Gifting one Alan Titchmarsh with the info, the band's Kerry Katona – who reunited in a big way with the original AK litter (aka Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon) as part of ITV's 'Big Reunion' – said: "We have just signed a contract for our own perfume range and cosmetic range, so this isn't the last of Atomic Kitten".
Steering the talk away from eau-de-Katona and back to artistic endeavours, Hamilton added: "We've already been in the studio, we want to write some more music, so it's all very exciting".

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, February 1, 3:05 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: JQH Arena (11,200) -- Springfield, Missouri. Television: None. Home Record: Bradley 9-4, MSU 10-1. Away Record: Bradley 0-7, MSU 3-5. Neutral Record: Bradley 0-2, MSU 1-1. Conference Record: Bradley 4-5, MSU 4-5. Series Record: Missouri State leads, 32-18.
GAME NOTES: The Bradley Braves have made the trek to Springfield to take on the Missouri State Bears in a Missouri Valley Conference tilt at JHQ Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Playing well recently, the Braves have won three of their last four games. On Wednesday night, they easily beat Illinois State at home, 64-45.
In other MVC action on Wednesday night, Missouri State fell to Drake in an 84-74 final. That loss snapped a modest two-game win streak for the Bears, leaving them at 5-5 in their last 10 outings.
This is the 51st all-time meeting in the series, with Missouri State leading 32-18, including 18-4 in Springfield where the Bears have won four straight in the series. The teams split the season series in 2012-13, with each winning at home.
Walt Lemon, Jr. finished with a game-high 20 points to lead the Braves past Illinois State at Carver Arena. Tyshon Pickett added 12 points, Ka'Darryl Bell scored 11 points and Auston Barnes posted his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Holding a 25-22 lead at intermission, the Braves went on a 12-0 run midway through the second stanza to put the game away. The Braves made the most of the Redbirds' miscues, forcing 19 turnovers and converting them into 23 points.
Lemon leads the Braves in scoring, averaging 17.3 ppg, good for fourth in the conference. Pickett (11.7 ppg) and Omari Grier (10.7 ppg) round out the double-digit scorers for Bradley. As a team, the Braves rank last in the league with only 64.0 ppg. Luckily for them they are holding foes to just 66.1 ppg, which is second-best in the MVC.
Drake snapped a seven-game losing streak to Missouri State on Wednesday. Austin Ruder scored 21 points to lead the Bears, while Ron Mvouika finished with 13 and Jarmar Gulley chipped in with a dozen. Drake was hot from the field to start the game and took a 38-25 lead at the break. Trailing by three, 66-63, with just over five minutes to play, Drake used an 11-0 run to grab the lead for good and pull away for the win. The Bulldogs dominated the boards, outrebounding the Bears, 34-16. Drake drained a season-high 14 3-pointers at a 58.3 percent clip.
Gulley (14.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg) leads the Bears in scoring. Marcus Marshall (14.3 ppg) is the only other player averaging in double figures for the team, but he is out indefinitely after undergoing right knee surgery. In Marshall's absence, Ruder (8.7 ppg) is the second-best scoring option, although he is only shooting 41.4 percent from the field. The Bears will need others to step up going forward, especially if they hope to maintain their pace on offense as they rank fourth in the MVC in scoring (72.7 ppg). They are giving up 71.6 ppg, which is next-to-last in the league.
The high-scoring Bears hope that their success this season at home continues and that they can solve the stingy defense of the Braves. Given Bradley's road woes, expect Missouri State to grab another win.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Missouri State 75, Bradley 65

OLF Hearings Begin
By Catherine M. Welch
Wilmington, NC – Public hearings start this week on the proposed Outlying Land Field in Washington and Beaufort counties.
The Navy has trimmed the number of acres it wants to buy from 30,000 to 13,000.
Executive Director for Audubon North Carolina Chris Canfield says opponents should come out during this week's round of public hearings and let the Navy know about the value of eastern North Carolina.
Now the problem is, frankly the Navy up to date has not been listening. So any comments made to the Navy also need to be also made to our senators particularly and our congressional representative.
The refuge is a haven for a large number of waterfowl and a growing red wolf population. Francine Blend is an environmental impact manager for naval facilities. She says the Navy and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services are in discussions about the wolves expanding territory.
To determine some conservation matters and restore some habitat and work with U.S. Fish and Wildlife to keep the red wolf a viable species in the OLF site.
Navy officials say they will consider all comments delivered during the round of public hearings. The Navy is excepting written comments until April 24th.

Warner had some spare change hanging around, apparantly
Potentially interesting stuff.
Warner had some spare change hanging around, apparantly
Potentially interesting stuff.
Animation or CG I don't care. Stop motion would be cool but no one is willing to make a stop motion film.
This may not go well.
Do you peoples remember when Nickelodeon tried to make a Bone movie? HA!!! Britney Spears is not good for a teen-action movie...
@Limenut said: So Mr Smith is thinking of doing it 2D?!? No-one here had even suggested that, but thinking about it, I suppose it's not a bad idea. I'd prefer 3D, but that may be exposure to telltale...
Wow, this just popped an idea into my head!
So, animation is best. I would love stop motion, but I highly doubt it.
@Limenut said: The stuff they're using to make Coraline, maybe?
Firstly, I loved that movie. Which is why I know that it took SEVEN YEARS to make. I doubt that WB would take seven+ years to make a movie. Henry Selick would, but only because he loves stop motion. 2D animation would rock, and CG comes last. It's what I expect WB to due, because it's cheap and fast.
But, I think the movie should be done in 3D! But none of that red-and-blue stuff. RealD 3D ONLY! Or maybe glasses-less 3D, like in Avatar...
The Great Cow Race would flourish (If they made a sequel or if it was all squished into one movie) and Ted the Bug's antennae would fly out at'cha, etc.! Not to mention how cool everyone thinks 3D is, and that would get more people to see it without knowing what it is because it's 3D. This would make the movie more money, and we just might get a sequel! Unfortunately, 2D animation wouldn't work with 3D.
Whadda you guys think? Bone in 3D? No? Yes? Maybe?
It would be great if it were 3D! :D Please make it 3D! I also want the film to go out into the movie theaters! I'm a big fan of bone, and it would be great if the film will be 3D, and it would be great if it was about 1 hour! So good luck with the film.
AW MAN! I WOULD LOOOOOVE TO SEE AN ANIMATED BONE MOVIE! But if Warner Bros. ruins this opportunity, Jeff Smith will be dead to me just like that. Like i would literally throw all my bone books out my window. I'm not joking. I will. Anyway, i hope it's the right humor involved with some uptight action. I just hope i will not have to somehow sue Warner Bros. for this.......Will i?
this movie sounds promising. And since I don't know much about Bone then if they screw it up I won't notice...
I just hope its 2-D animated, to make it feel like the comics. I personally think 3D couldn't do justice for Bone getting a movie.

Latin American Art
Zenil uses himself in his art because, as a gay man in Mexico, he feels marginalized and, therefore, experiences a great sense of solitude. Through self-analysis in his work, he desires to accept fully himself and his lifestyle. He sees art as a way to purge his mind of some of the pressures he felt growing up gay in a small Mexican town and, later, living in the relatively conservative society of the Mexican capital, where he never feels truly at ease with most of the people around him. He hopes his artwork effects communication between himself and other members of society. Zenil's works discourage passive viewer interaction. Through painted images of himself, the artist fixes his gaze on those who attempt to penetrate his world; indeed, he seems to challenge and goad the viewer. To underscore the specificity that the artist wishes to convey, he often inscribes the scenario represented in his works with his own handwriting. Overall, Zenil uses his art to remind viewers that he--no matter his ethnicity or sexual preference--is human just like them. The mixed media work Esperar la hora que cambiará nuestra costumbre ne es fácil (Waiting for the Time When Our Customs Change Is Not Easy, 1984) functions as a social commentary on Zenil's status as a gay man living in Mexico. The artist sits nude on a chair in a protective pose: he pulls his knees to his chest and crosses his arms over them. Although he tries to safeguard himself, he is nevertheless vulnerable; his flaccid penis is visible between his ankles. The artist literally imprisons this picture of himself; knotted twine attached to the surrounding matte crisscrosses the image many times. Two other mixed media works from the 1980s directly address the oppression of gay men. Dos Personajes (Two Persons, 1984) shows Zenil and his long-time companion Gerardo Vilchis from the waist up dressed in suits. Rope tightly binds each of their bodies. Two strips of pink cloth, which match the men's ties, cover Vilchis' eyes and Zenil's mouth. Suicides (1987) again represents Zenil and Vilchis wearing suits. This time, a double noose is wrapped around their necks. Zenil also depicts Vilchis in Tengo una muñeca (I Have a Doll, 1979). Vilchis is nude except for the woven rebozo (a shawl commonly worn by Latin American women) draped over his shoulders. He sits on a chair cradling a doll in his lap. The work's title refers to the doll, the sitter's penis, and the relationship between artist and sitter. Because in Mexico a "real" man must be dominant and macho, Zenil blatantly flouts national gender norms by eroticizing the penis. Zenil has long been an ardent supporter of gay rights in Mexico. He plays a prominent role in the Círculo Cultural Gay, an organization active since the early 1980s. Although there are few direct references to the wider issue of lesbian and gay rights in Zenil's art, an exception is En el Zócalo frente al Palacio Nacional (In the Zócalo in Front of the National Palace, 1992). In this work, the artist represents himself many times holding various banners with slogans such as "Respect for Human Rights," "Peace," and "Love." Religious subject matter often appears in Zenil's art. The Virgin of Guadalupe maintains pride of place in the artist's symbolic vocabulary. She often appears above Zenil and Vilchis, blessing their union or casting a protective aura over them. In Virgen de Guadalupe (Virgin of Guadalupe, 1984), for example, an apparition of the Virgin appears above the two men, who are in bed. Julio Galán Although he emerged from a more privileged background than that of Zenil, Julio Galán (b. 1959) has also made a mark among contemporary Mexican artists. He painted himself semi-naked, as a young boy, as a witchdoctor, or with Aztec headdresses, adding a Baroque kitsch tone that has become his trademark. This style is melodramatic and might be called high camp. Galán shares with many Mexican artists an obsession with self-portraits, ambivalence, and doubling. His personal symbolism, which mixes religious elements with cinematic ones, is frequently cryptic, much like that of Kahlo. He is known especially for his critiques of the social construction of gender in such works as Donde ya no hay sexo (1985), which depicts the artist as having an ambiguous sexuality, and Niños con muchos huevos (1988), which shows two boys kissing.

At the Marcus, sisters are doing it for themselves
Having transformed an awful nun's choir into disco-dancing divas, Deloris Van Cartier - a.k.a. Sister Mary Clarence, in the touring production of "Sister Act" now at the Marcus Center - has it out with the dour Mother Superior.
"People like going to the theater, but they don't like going to church, because it's a drag," Deloris reasons. Turning her wimpled boss toward the Marcus Center audience - doubling here as the Queen of Angels congregation - Deloris drives home her point by noting that the long-empty "church" is full. »Read Full Article

Quasimondo's 'Robot Cabaret' still needs some debugging

Expect the unexpected at Gaithersburg outdoor theater
Northwood High theater director helps launch new company
Two years ago, the theater director at Northwood High School in Wheaton was strolling along with his wife through Seneca Creek State Park when the couple was struck by a vision to bring professional theater to an outdoor stage in Gaithersburg.
"It's always been in the back of our minds to do this," said co-producing artistic director Christopher Goodrich, who was accompanied by his wife, Rachel Stroud-Goodrich, on the fateful walk.
"We hope [the audience] has a lovely evening, but at the same time, it's also a fun, smart play. We hope it is entertaining and they have a great theater experience that will stick with them after the fact," said Stroud-Goodrich, who is co-producing artistic director for the production.
"The park serves as another character [in the play]. It allows you to use its beauty as part of the show," said Goodrich, a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
"The park does make us subject to the elements. ... Heat could be an issue," Goodrich said. "Despite that, we think it can be a major positive."
Goodrich grew up in Montgomery Village and has directed more than 20 Off-Broadway productions.
In 2008, the couple moved from Philadelphia to be closer to family. Soon after, Stroud-Goodrich, who is originally from Los Angeles, gave birth to their baby girl, Mayzie.
Goodrich said they are looking into two or three shows for next summer and that the ultimate goal is to be able to financially support a full season of about 10 shows. For now, half of the funding for the company will come from ticket sales, and the other half has come from donors, including sponsors and individuals.
The stage, which was built five years ago, formerly served as the venue for the Shaker Forest Festival, an arts and crafts event, which took place every September. Assistant Park Manager Dave Powell said "A Phoenix Too Frequent" will be the first taste of theater at the park.
"They're bringing theater to Gaithersburg, where there has never been theater before," said Powell.
"We want to get things going with a fantastic production this year, and we've been reaching out to folks interested in building on that," said Stroud-Goodrich, who holds a master's degree in vocal performance and music theater from New York University's Steinhardt School.
"We want to bring shows to people and bring people to shows that offer an insight into the human condition," Goodrich said.

Lost in Translation
By Nicole Mones
(Delta, Paperback, 9780385319447, 384pp.)
Publication Date: May 11, 1999
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
A novel of searing intelligence and startling originality, Lost in Translation heralds the debut of a unique new voice on the literary landscape. Nicole Mones creates an unforgettable story of love and desire, of family ties and human conflict, and of one woman's struggle to lose herself in a foreign land--only to discover her home, her heart, herself.
At dawn in Beijing, Alice Mannegan pedals a bicycle through the deserted streets. An American by birth, a translator by profession, she spends her nights in Beijing's smoke-filled bars, and the Chinese men she so desires never misunderstand her intentions. All around her rushes the air of China, the scent of history and change, of a world where she has come to escape her father's love and her own pain. It is a world in which, each night as she slips from her hotel, she hopes to lose herself forever.
For Alice, it began with a phone call from an American archaeologist seeking a translator. And it ended in an intoxicating journey of the heart--one that would plunge her into a nation's past, and into some of the most rarely glimpsed regions of China. Hired by an archaeologist searching for the bones of Peking Man, Alice joins an expedition that penetrates a vast, uncharted land and brings Professor Lin Shiyang into her life. As they draw closer to unearthing the secret of Peking Man, as the group's every move is followed, their every whisper recorded, Alice and Lin find shelter in each other, slowly putting to rest the ghosts of their pasts. What happens between them becomes one of the most breathtakingly erotic love stories in recent fiction. Indeed, Lost in Translation is a novel about love--between a nation and its past, between a man and a memory, between a father and a daughter. Its powerful impact confirms the extraordinary gifts of a master storyteller, Nicole Mones.
Nicole Mones has traveled and worked extensively in China since 1977. She lives with her family in Portland, Oregon.
Advance praise for Lost in Translation:
"Lost in Translation is an adventurous and romantic tale of a complex American woman in an exotic landscape. A remarkable first novel."
--Dominick Dunne, bestselling author of Another City, Not My Own
"Nicole Mones takes you on an enthralling, sensuous journey through China that leads deep into the hidden chambers of the human heart."
--Beth Henley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Crimes of the Heart
"A complex portrait of a woman in search of herself . . . that reveals as much about character and cultural differences as it does about a search for priceless, long-lost fossils. Mones succeeds in integrating archeological history, spiritual philosophy and cultural dislocation into a tale of identity on many levels."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

The Household Cavalry (HCav) is made up of the two most senior regiments of the British Army, the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons). These regiments are divided between the Armoured Regiment stationed at Combermere Barracks in Windsor and the ceremonial mounted unit, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, garrisoned at Hyde Park Barracks (Knightsbridge Barracks) in London. The Household Cavalry is part of the Household Division and is the Queen's official bodyguard.
Life Guards and Blues and Royals[edit]
The British Household Cavalry is classed as a corps in its own right, and consists of two regiments: the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons). They are the senior regular regiments in the British Army, with traditions dating from 1660, and act as the Queen's personal bodyguard. The regiments are Guards regiments and form Britain's Household Division with the five Foot Guards regiments.

The Household Cavalry as a whole is split into two different units which fulfil two very distinct roles. These are both joint units, consisting of personnel from both regiments. Like other Cavalry formations, the Household Cavalry is divided into regiments (battalion-sized units) and squadrons (company-sized sub-units). The whole corps is under the command of the Commander Household Cavalry (formerly Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding Household Cavalry), who also holds the Royal Household appointment of Silver Stick in Waiting. He is a Colonel, and is assisted by a retired lieutenant colonel as Regimental Adjutant. The current Commander is Colonel S H Cowen RHG/D.
The first unit is the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). It has an active operational role as a Formation Reconnaissance Regiment, serving in armoured fighting vehicles, which has seen them at the forefront of the nation's conflicts. The regiment serves as part of the Royal Armoured Corps, and forms one of five formation reconnaissance regiments in the British Army's order of battle. The HCR has four operational squadrons, three of which are traditional medium reconnaissance squadrons equipped with the combat vehicle reconnaissance (tracked) or CVR(T) range of vehicles (Scimitar, Spartan, Sultan, Samson and Samaritan) and the fourth is referred to as Command and Support Squadron and includes specialists such as Forward Air Controllers. One of HCR's squadrons is assigned to the airborne role with 16 Air Assault Brigade as of 2003. The Regiment is based at Combermere Barracks, Windsor, one mile from Windsor Castle. The men of the Household Division have sometimes been required to undertake special tasks as the Sovereign's personal troops. The Household Cavalry were called to Windsor Castle on 20 November 1992, to assist with salvage operations following the 'Great Fire'.
The second unit is the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), which is horsed and carries out mounted (and some dismounted) ceremonial duties on State and Royal occasions. These include the provision of a Sovereign's Escort, most commonly seen on The Queen's Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour) in June each year. Other occasions include State Visits by visiting Heads of State, or whenever required by the British monarch. The regiment also mounts the guard at Horse Guards. HCMR consists of one squadron from The Life Guards and one from The Blues and Royals and a squadron called Headquarters Squadron which is responsible for all administrative matters and includes regimental headquarters (RHQ), the Riding Staff, Farriers, Tailors and Saddlers. The Regiment has been based (in various forms) at Hyde Park Barracks, Knightsbridge, since 1795. This is three-quarters of a mile from Buckingham Palace.
Rank structure[edit]
The rank names and insignia of non-commissioned officers in the Household Cavalry are unique in the British Army:
- Staff Corporal/Squadron Quartermaster Corporal = Staff Sergeant/Squadron Quartermaster Sergeant: Four chevrons, point up, with metal crown above, worn on lower sleeve
- Corporal of Horse = Sergeant: Three chevrons, point down, with metal crown above
- Lance Corporal of Horse = Corporal: Three chevrons with cloth crown above
- Lance Corporal: Two chevrons with metal crown above
Privates in the Household Cavalry, as in several of the regiments in the Royal Armoured Corps, are called "Troopers"
Technically, Lance Corporal of Horse is an appointment rather than a rank: a new Household Cavalry corporal is automatically and immediately appointed lance corporal of horse (LCoH), and is referred to as such thereafter.
The Warrant Officer ranks are the same as the rest of the army, but appointments include Regimental Quartermaster Corporal and Squadron Corporal Major (WO2) and Farrier Corporal Major and Regimental Corporal Major (WO1), again excluding the word sergeant.
Formerly, sergeant was exclusively an infantry rank: no cavalry regiment had sergeants. Only the Household Cavalry now maintains this tradition, possibly because sergeant derives from the Latin serviens (meaning servant) and members of the Household Cavalry, once drawn exclusively from the gentry and aristocracy, could not abide such a title. However this origin may be apocryphal, since serjeant was a title used by some offices of comparative seniority, such as Serjeants at Arms, and Serjeants at Law.
Uniquely, non-commissioned officers and warrant officers of the Household Cavalry do not wear rank insignia on their full dress uniforms (although officers do). Rank is indicated by a system of aiguillettes.
Second Lieutenants in The Blues and Royals are known as Cornets.
Recruits were required to have a very high moral character. Before the Second World War, recruits were required to be at least 5 feet 10 inches tall, but could not exceed 6 feet 1 inch. They initially enlisted for eight years with the colours and a further four years with the reserve.[1]
Army Farriers[edit]
There is a farrier on call "round the clock, twenty-four hours a day, at Hyde Park Barracks."[2]
Farriers traditionally combined veterinary knowledge with blacksmiths' skills. They were responsible for hoof trimming and fitting horseshoes to horses. They also dealt with the "humane dispatch of wounded and sick horses,"[3] accomplished with the large spike on the end of their axes. Then they used the sharp blade of the axe to chop off the deceased animal's hoof, which was marked with its regimental number. This assisted in keeping track of animals killed in action.[3]
Although the axes are not used any more, army farriers still carry these axes, with their characteristic blade and spike, at ceremonial events such as Trooping the Colour.[3]
In the Blues and Royals, the farriers dress like their comrades in regimental uniform. The distinctive uniform and equipment of the farriers of the Life Guards — blue tunic, black plume and axe — is a historic reminder of the old British Army of the days of James Wolfe. Every cavalry regiment in the Army, other than the Blues, and the Royal Horse Guards, originally wore scarlet for all ranks, except the farriers. Farriers were garbed invariably in sombre blue and bore axes, worn at the side, like the swords of their comrades. When on parade, the troopers drew swords, the Farriers drew axes and carried them at the "Advance".[4]
When participating in parades, the Farriers bring up the rear of the Household Cavalry, carrying their glinting ceremonial axes.
Following every parade is a duty horse-box, known as the Veterinary Aid Post, with a specialist emergency team in attendance.[2]
Musical Ride[edit]
Many of the recruits have not even been on a horse before joining the Household Cavalry. Some of them only train for 18 weeks before performing their historic display, the Musical Ride, whose discipline and teamwork prepares them for operational duties.
The Musical Ride of the Mounted Regiments of the Household Cavalry was first performed at the Royal Tournament in 1882. The two trumpeters sitting on grey horses were historically intended to form a contrast with the darker horses, so that they could be seen on battlefields relaying officers' commands to the troops. The troops weave around the trumpeters and the celebrated drumhorse, Spartacus.[5]
The Ride is now performed annually at the Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo as part of the Windsor Royal Horse Show each May.
Order of precedence[edit]
In the British Army Order of Precedence, the Household Cavalry is always listed first and always parades at the extreme right of the line.
Preceded by Royal Horse Artillery (with guns) |
Order of Precedence | Succeeded by Royal Armoured Corps |
Place in British society[edit]
The two regiments of the Household Cavalry are regarded as the most prestigious in the British Army, due to their role as the monarch's official bodyguard. Historically, this meant regularly being in close proximity to the reigning sovereign. As such, the soldiers, and especially officers, of the Household Cavalry were once drawn exclusively from the British aristocracy. While this is no longer the case, the Household Cavalry still draws many of its officers from the upper classes and gentry, and maintains a close personal connection to the Royal Family; both Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry were commissioned into the Blues and Royals. On occasions, this has led the Household Cavalry to be accused of elitism.[6][7]

Household Cavalry outside the United Kingdom[edit]
The term 'Household Cavalry' is used across the Commonwealth to describe the cavalry of the Household Divisions, a country's most elite or historically senior military groupings or those military groupings that provide functions associated directly with the Head of state.
Canada's Governor General's Horse Guards, India's President's Bodyguard and Pakistan's President's Bodyguard are typical Household Cavalry regiments, employing armoured vehicles for combat duties and equestrian units for ceremonial functions. When used without national qualification, however, the term generally refers to the Household Cavalry of the British Army.

Life long learning is important to keep oneself up-to-date in ones profession. Due to the rapid evolutionary nature of computer science, life long learning becomes even more important. Equipping the students with critical and creative thinking skills can make learning more effective. Critical and creative thinking skills can be taught either by offering explicit courses on such topics or the important skills can be infused into the contents of various courses in the computer science or computer engineering programs. Teaching critical skills along with the course contents can prove itself more appropriate than only transferring the subject knowledge(course content). Some topics may provide a very natural way to teach a critical thinking skill. This paper describes some of our efforts in infusing the critical thinking skill of classification into a course on Principles of Software Engineering in our undergraduate computer science curriculum.

Title: | Selma to Montgomery March |
Date: | 2007 Mar. 14 |
Description: | Encyclopedia article about the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery March which was a central event of the Selma voting rights demonstrations. It provided some of the most recognized imagery of the civil rights movement and sparked several infamous crimes. Its route is now a national historic trail, and re-enactors, some of whom took part in the original march, meet on important anniversaries to retrace the path of the original event. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |
