Corporations have long struggled to build and maintain the perfect combination of engaging work, good pay, competitive benefits and a sense of community to keep their employees – especially women - thriving. With so many studies now showing how important it is to have women in leadership positions, wouldn't it be great if there were one framework by which corporations could be more assured of doing just that? Well, if my conversation with Abigail Rodgers, VP of Sustainability Strategy and Communication at The Coca Cola Company is any indication, leveraging human values for the dual benefit of business and community - in all that your corporation does - is the key.
Whether you'd call that sustainability or not, the point is that people are attracted to and will thrive in work that encourages (and rewards) attention to human values. Given that, it wasn't surprising that Rodgers sees sustainability as a corporate leadership beacon, especially for women.
As the interview I expected to be more about communications strategy quickly evolved into an exploration of new ways to think about organizational sustainability engagement, three key themes emerged:
- Be aware of your corporation's definition of sustainability and how that can influence employee and consumer engagement. Allow for the definition to evolve with the heat and passion of stakeholders.
- Remember that parenthood changes (absolutely) everything. Having children inspires a more flexible, holistic and long-term perspective, and makes it all but impossible to separate personal and business values.
- Amplify reach and impact through innovative collaboration among UN-usual suspects. It is amazing what good can come when people from varying corporate cultures get to know each other.
So, let's start with the first theme. Rodgers thinks the word "sustainability" doesn't do justice for the work. According to her, and like many a corporation, Coca Cola initially approached the topic mainly in terms of environmental issues or carbon footprint concerns. It was only when they started to look at sustainability more holistically, beyond the environmental aspects, that they saw the possibilities for maximizing the impact of all of their various efforts. And, that's when the Live Positively platform, an umbrella commitment to making sustainability part of every strategy and action at Coca Cola, was born. The idea is that the many initiatives residing within Live Positively, which include volunteerism, community, and planet as well as products, reflect this more holistic approach. Because there are a variety of engagement or entry points, Rodgers says the multi-initiative platform "invites the entire business to participate." It is like nothing Coca Cola has done in the twenty years she's been part of it.
Second, and referring to that powerful sentiment (so well reflected in a Johnson & Johnson ad campaign at one point): Having a baby changes everything. Because Rodgers saw it in herself after she had her own children, she also began to notice how it changed her colleagues – both men and women. Parenthood requires flexibility, holistic thinking and a long- term perspective, and these are the same capabilities that help business leaders think more sustainably. Parenthood demands it, and sustainable thinking thrives on it.
Finally, Rodgers had much to share about collaboration. The Coca Cola Company's several year partnership with the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), and Arctic Home, their holiday fundraising campaign benefiting polar bear habitat, is one example. While watershed issues had been the initial building block for the WWF partnership, it was working together on Arctic Home that gave the interrelationships therein their first big test. In the course of the many months that Coca Cola leaders, WWF, the "To the Arctic 3D" filmmakers, and the various governmental entities all worked together, they broke through the organizational culture clash. The parties were able to find their common ground and they learned to communicate very well in order to maintain the shared long-term vision and have the greatest impact.
Read more from Andrea Learned's exclusive Sustainability and Women series.
To put the three sustainability-encouraging themes Rodgers and I discussed in a nutshell, the advice to other sustainability-striving corporations might most simply be: question assumptions. Don't assume a particular and set definition of sustainability. Don't assume your employees/leadership teams leave their home values at the office door (instead, hope and pray they don't!), and, finally, go way outside of the obvious bounds when brainstorming about potential partners.
To encourage more holistic, long-term, collaborative thinking in your company's leadership, perhaps you too should start seeing sustainability the way Rodgers does, as a leadership beacon. Make a stronger, more integrated corporate commitment to it, and that light will shine bright. And, it will call out to the internal and external stakeholders who've got the incredible skills and wisdom needed in a more thriving and sustainable future.

Howard County government took the first step last week toward purchasing and redeveloping the Long Reach Village Center by introducing legislation designating the area as an urban renewal zone.
The county announced its plans to buy a portion of the property, currently owned by Long Reach Village Associates, a spin-off of Pikesville-based Americas Realty, at a Long Reach Village Board meeting earlier this month.
"The Long Reach community has long been concerned over the decline of the Village Center. We've heard those concerns and can't wait any longer to act," said County Executive Ken Ulman in a news release distributed last week. "Vacancies, security and maintenance are real issues, and we now have a unique opportunity to make progress."
In order to purchase the property, the county must designate the area an urban renewal zone through the passage of legislation. The law is required because it is a conflict for government to own commercial property within its jurisdiction. No purchase price was available because of ongoing negotiations.
The legislation, which was submitted to the Howard County Council on Thursday, Jan. 23, will likely be vetted by the council next month, with possible approval coming in March.
Ulman said the goal of the project is to create "a sustainable and vibrant community focal point that could serve as a model for future redevelopment in Columbia. The release said Ulman is asking the planning process to evaluate creating an arts district on the site with Howard County Arts Council relocating to the center.
"The arts can be a powerful tool in community development and revitalization. The arts activate and enliven declining neighborhoods by bringing people together, by creating a welcoming sense of place, and by instilling a sense of community pride that is at the core of community building," said Coleen West, executive director of the Howard County Arts Council, in a statement.
"We look forward to working on plans for new art space and a possible new home in a diverse community that is more accessible to both artists and visitors."
According to the release, the county plans to use an architectural and engineering firm to assist in conducting a planning process that will include community outreach.
Celebration Church, located nearby, is also pursuing purchasing and redeveloping space in the center. The church is looking to expand into the former space occupied by Safeway and most recently the Family Market.
"It is gratifying that the county is interested in this important project and we look forward to working together," said Celebration Pastor Robbie Davis. "Our congregation is committed to making investments that will improve the community, and we are gratified that the county is doing the same."
County Council member Calvin Ball, whose district includes the village, and Karen Hitcho, chair of the Long Reach Village Board, praised the project.
Ball said: "This is an exciting time, and I am pleased that we are in a position to respond to the community's needs and build on the strength of Long Reach – Columbia's largest village. ... Long Reach needs and deserves a thriving center, and I think the county can play a role in making that happen.
Hitcho said: "We are pleased the county is taking this step. ... The decline of the center has been evident for some time and this is an opportunity to turn that around."

This bag looks like it could be colorwork or fair-isle or at the very least like it could be slightly complicated. But, it's not.
Two strands of solid color skeins of Wool of the Andes are held together throughout the bag. The yarns twist and turn naturally as you knit along causing the dancing colors.
Knit in the round, all the yarn ends from the stripes are hidden between the outer layer of the bag and the inner knit lining layer. Only the cast on and bind off ends have to be officially woven in. (Insert a huge sigh of relief here.)
Three color combinations are pictured at the Knit Picks site:

In the recent decision of Bancorp Services L.L.C. v Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), Fed. Cir., No. 2011-1467, 7/26/12, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit further delineated the requirements for the patentability of computer-implemented inventions in the United States.
The Federal Circuit held that machine, system or computer-readable medium patent claims may be found equivalent to an abstract mental process for the determination of patentable subject matter. In the Bancorp decision, it found a system claim which included a limitation of a computer to perform the steps of a method was a claim to an abstract idea because the computer functioned solely as an obvious mechanism for permitting a solution to be achieved more quickly.
In Bancorp, the patents at issue were directed to systems and methods for administering and tracking the value of life insurance policies in separate accounts. Independent method claim 9 of one of the patents read: a method for managing a life insurance policy on behalf of a policy holder, the method comprising the steps of: generating a life insurance policy including a stable value protected investment with an initial value based on a value of underlying securities; calculating fee units for members of a management group which manage the life insurance policy; calculating surrender value protected investment credits for the life insurance policy; determining an investment value and a value of the underlying securities for the current day; calculating a policy value and a policy unit value for the current day; storing the policy unit value for the current day; and one of the steps of: removing the fee units for members of the management group which manage the life insurance policy, and accumulating fee units on behalf of the management group. Claim 17 of that patent depended from independent method claim 9 and required that the method's steps be "performed by a computer". Claim 18 of that patent recited "a computer readable medi[um] for controlling a computer to perform the steps of" and then repeated the steps of independent method claim 9. The other patent included system claims which tracked the content of the method and medium claims.
Sun Life argued that even if the method claim required a computer, as in claim 17, the claim was unpatentable because the routine use of a computer to perform calculations cannot turn an otherwise ineligible mathematical formula or law of nature into patentable subject matter. Moreover, Sun Life argued that the system and medium claims merely paraphrase the unpatentable method claims, and as a result they are not patent eligible for the same reasons as the method claims.
The Federal Circuit relied on its recent decisions in CyberSource v Retail Decisions, 654 F.3d 1366, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2011) and CLS Bank International v Alice Corp., No. 2011-1301, 2012 WL 27084900 at *10 (Fed. Cir. July 9, 2012) for the principle that a machine, system, medium, or the like may in some cases be equivalent to an abstract mental process for the purposes of patent ineligibility.
With respect to the claims at issue, the Federal Circuit concluded that there was no material difference between the method, medium and system claims—the only difference between the claims was the form in which they were drafted. The Federal Circuit then concluded that the claims cover no more than abstract ideas and therefore do not recite patent-eligible subject matter. The Federal Circuit held that the limitation "using a computer" in an otherwise abstract concept did not play a significant part in permitting the claimed method to be performed. As the computer required by some of Bancorp's claims was employed only for its most basic function, the performance of repetitive calculations, the Federal Circuit found it did not impose meaningful limits on the scope of those claims. The Federal Circuit remarked that to salvage an otherwise patent-ineligible process, a computer must be integral to the claimed invention, facilitating the process in a way that a person making calculations or computations could not. Simply adding a computer-aided limitation to a claim covering an abstract concept, without more, is insufficient to render the claim patent eligible.
In reaching its conclusion, the Federal Circuit distinguished Research Corp. Techs. v Microsoft, 627 F.3d 859 (Fed. Cir. 2010), which was relied on by Bancorp in arguing for patent eligibility. In Research Corp., the patents claimed processes for enabling a computer to render a halftone image of a digital image by comparing, pixel by pixel, the digital image against a two-dimensional array called a mask.
The Federal Circuit found two critical differences between Research Corp. and the case at hand. First, the claimed processes in Research Corp. plainly represented improvements to computer technologies in the marketplace: as compared to the prior art, the mask produced higher quality halftone images while using less processor power and memory space. No such technological advance was evident in the Bancorp claims: the claims merely employed computers to track, reconcile, and administer a life insurance policy with a stable value component. Second, the method in Research Corp. required the manipulation of computer data structures (the pixels of a digital image and the mask) and the output of a modified computer data structure (the halftoned image) was dependent upon the computer components required to perform it. In other words, the Research Corp. method could not be performed entirely in a human's mind. Whereas, in contrast, the computer in the Bancorp method merely permitted one to manage a stable value protected life insurance policy more efficiently than one could mentally.
The Federal Circuit also commented that the decision in the case at hand was not inconsistent with the CLS decision which held that method, system and medium claims directed to a specific application of exchanging obligations between parties using a computer were patent eligible. In CLS, to be patent eligible, the computer limitations had to play a significant part in the performance of the claimed invention or be directed to a very specific application of the inventive concept. The Court remarked that, unlike in CLS, the claims sought by Bancorp were not directed to a "very specific application" of the inventive concept but instead broadly claimed the unpatentable abstract concept of managing a stable value protected life insurance policy.
Accordingly, when applying for patents for computer-implemented inventions in the United States, applicants ought to give due consideration to whether computer limitations play a significant part in the performance of the claimed invention, facilitating the process in a way that a person making calculations or computations could not. If that is not the case, applicants ought to consider limiting their claims to a "very specific application" of the inventive concept in order to maintain patent eligibility.

Aug 18, 2012 at 11:23 am in Equipment, Tutorial by Logan-Moeller
One of the most necessary requirements of filming smooth, fluid animation is keeping the camera rock steady. Ideally, find a tripod with solid legs and the ability to tilt, pan, and a head that firmly locks into place. As you begin learning stop motion you will probably keep the camera in one position, but as you develop your skill, you can add zooms, pans, and tilts, for dramatic affect. Though a tripod will save you the headache of having to re-shoot and re-set your scene, they are not entirely necessary. The main thing to remember is that the camera should never move unless you intend it to.

Wishing I was riding RTW
Joined: Jan 2006
Location: Gardnerville NV
Oddometer: 2,700
We got his Ural unloaded (the one he toured the USA on) and the camp set up. He had a couple of friends with him one on a KLR and the other on a Husky 610. So we all headed to Echo Canyon.
Marcia was kind of nervous about riding the Ural with Mr. Cob,she did just fine. We got to the turn off for Echo Canyon and Mr. Cob just took off and so did Marcia. She kept up pretty good with him and all the nervs just left once that throttle opened.
We got to the top and stopped and took some pics. Mr. Cob was impressed with Marcia's riding and gave her Ural the once over for pointers.
On the way back down Marcia now a little more loose and comfortable started sliding the bike around the corners. Until she came into one corner a little hot and the deep gravel wouldnt let the bike slide. So a slide that plowed a row of gravel until it tipped the bike up on the left side crash bar sending Marcia rolling off. It was all kind of funny to watch. She was fine and was having fun. The bike was fine we just had to knock all the gravel off.

Creative mom explores how to live a sustainable life with a focus on food.
USDA Food waste report has plenty to say about consumer waste
Photo by Shutterstock
The USDA recently released a report titled "The Estimated Amount, Value, and Calories of Postharvest Food Losses at the Retail and Consumer Levels in the United States."
The report defines food loss as "the amount of edible food, postharvest, that is available for human consumption, but is not consumed for any reason." Those reasons can range from natural shrinkage of food (like when you cook a hamburger and some of the fat cooks away) to the perfectly good food that gets rejected by supermarkets for having blemishes or discoloration or many, many other reasons.
Here are some of the big findings in the report.
- Thirty-one percent (133 billion pounds) of the 430 bill pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer level in 2010 went uneaten.
- Ten percent of that waste was on the retail level: 21 percent of that waste was at the consumer level.
- The estimated value of food loss was $161.6 billion.
- Thirty percent of meat, poultry and fish were wasted.
- Nineteen percent of vegetables were wasted.
- Seventeen percent of dairy was wasted.
- 387 billion calories of food was wasted per day in 2010, or 1,249 out of every 3,796 calories available per day.
It's important to note that this report only deals with the loss of food once it hits the retailer, not loss of food on the farm or loss of food between the farm and the retailer.
Almost 1/3 of food that makes it to the grocery store shelves goes to waste in our country, and twice as much is wasted on the consumer level than it is at the retail level. We are throwing away a lot of the food we buy.
Why are we throwing away so much of the food we buy? The report sites several reasons.
- Spillages, abrasion, bruising, excessive trimming, excessive or insufficient heat, inadequate storage, technical malfunction.
- Sprouting of grains and tubers, biological aging in fruit
- Consumers becoming confused over "use-by" and "best before" dates so that food is discarded while still safe to eat.
- Lack of knowledge about preparation and appropriate portion sizes. For example, lack of consumer knowledge of when a papaya is ripe, how to prepare it, and how to use it as an ingredient are reasons for high papaya loss.
- Industry or government standards may cause some products to be rejected for human consumption (e.g., plate waste can't be re-used at restaurants).
- Psychological tastes, attitudes, and preferences leading to plate waste/scrapings (e.g., human aversion, such as "I don't eat that," or refusal to eat a food for religious reasons). Consumer demand for high cosmetic standards.
- Seasonal factors: more food is wasted in summer.
- Uneaten or leftover holiday foods.
Take a look at that list. Some of it is hard to control. We all spill things from time to time. But, some of it is avoidable.
We have plenty of good advice here on MNN to help you avoid wasting the food that you bring into your home. If you want to stop wasting so much food, here are a few things you'll want to check out.

How to Make Your Skull You will need: A plastic novelty skull, any type you'd like (check your local dollar store) Saran Wrap or bargain/store brand cling wrap A heat gun OR ...Window Witch Halloween Silhouette
What's that peeking out of that window? Is it…can it be?? A WITCH! Dress up your windows this Halloween with a life sized paper witch silhouette to peer out at trick-or-treaters and frighten the neighbors. Look for large rolls of paper at teacher supply stores or substitute with black posterboard. You'll Need: Window sized sheet of black paper Sharp scissors Chalk and pencil Witch template Ruler Clear, double sided tape Look for a picture of a witch silhouette (or click and save the template below.) Print it out. This will be your template. Using the ruler and pencil, draw equal lines to create a grid, about one inch squares or smaller. Count the number of lines horizontally and vertically. There will be ten down and seven across if you ...Black Grapevine Pumpkin
Grapevine pumpkins pack craft and décor stores this time of year. But how about making your own? It's quick, simple and allows you to customize it to create something a little more unique - like this spooky black version, perfect for your Halloween porch decorations! You'll need: 1 – eight foot grapevine garland Floral wire Wire cutters Matte black spray paint Newspaper Soak the grapevine overnight in a tub of water to help soften the wood and make it more pliable. Untie the larger strapping but leave the small wires that hold the vines together into a garland. You'll remove these later but leaving them for now will make forming the pumpkin easier. Grasp one end of the garland, leaving about four inches of the tail sticking up to ...Prepare Your House for Halloween!
Over and over again I hear from rueful friends, "I just don't have the time to decorate my house for Halloween...and besides, I don't want to spend a lot of money." My answer? Both the time AND money you spend on decorating your house for the scariest day of the year are up to you – and neither has to be a frightening prospect. Through the years, I've haunted my own house in every possible way, from dollar-store die cut black cats to a full-on front yard cemetery, fog machines, zombies and more. I've gathered my go-to Halloween preparation tactics, the ones I use year on year because they're so easy, yet they're guaranteed to bring a smile (and a spooky ...Easy Halloween Ornaments
Decorating your house for Halloween doesn't have to mean rushing out to buy styrofoam tombstones and plastic skeletons, although those can make fun additions to your home as well! Almost anything can be made into a Halloween decoration with a little time, spray paint and sense of fun. Look around the house for tchotchkes, ornaments and knickknacks you don't really care about anymore. Or if your house is knickknack free, hit up your local charity store and bring home a bag of candle-holders, porcelain statues and small vases. Give everything a good scrub in hot, soapy water, or run through your dishwasher to remove any dust or sticky labels. Once dry, set your pieces 5-6 inches apart on cardboard and ...Beading Jewelry for Halloween
Each year I try to find interesting Halloween jewelry but all I find is lots of cheap trinkets. So last April I decided to take up beading. Now I make my own amazing Halloween jewelry. If you can thread a needle and tie a knot, you can bead! One of my favorites is this 'String of Skulls Bracelet. Its simply a matter of stringing an interesting set of beads for the main line, then stringing smaller sections and sewing through one little bead at set intervals. Its quick, simple and great looking. A slightly more interactive stringing job produces this unusual 'Pumpkin Shroud Wine ...Collect a Halloween Village? Think of Location, Location, Location!
Over the years several companies have been creating small scale collectible models for Halloween. These models represent a variety of buildings – Victorians, mansions, morgues, movie theaters, etc. – as well as a wide array of characters and decorations. Often these models are limited productions, the runs lasting only a season or two. This limited production time plays havoc with those of us who are rabid collectors, but it also creates a rather eclectic and original townscape for each collector's home. While the availability of pieces (and the necessary funds to acquire them) can be limited, the greatest challenge for a collector often lies not in the acquisition, ...

According to Gregory J. Rau, Minuteman's current president and CEO, the company's financial condition moving forward, is more than enough to fund business or liquidity needs as they arise.
Rau sees great potential for the year ahead given that several large expenditures were made in 2000, such as plant improvements and computer software, that will not need to be repeated again in the near future. He also referred to the investment the company has made in rotational molding equipment, previously outsourced, which has been budgeted to produce savings in the area of 30-35% annually with complete payback in the next 12-18 months. In addition, a new Mitsubishi laser cutter reduces costs and increases productivity as well as quality and safety, the company stated.
Rau acknowledged that the outlook for the economy in general is somewhat cautious and the relationship of foreign currencies to the dollar in the future is uncertain, he believes the general expansion of the sanitary services industry, the boost received from new products, and Minuteman's reputation worldwide will award the company with another favorable year.

Lalire, Fanny (2010) High temperature behavior of metal substrates for solid oxide fuel cells. Bachelor's, ESIREM, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France.

Durability of the metal substrate for Metal Supported SOFC is a critical challenge to be addressed for long term reliability (>2500h). The metal substrate has been identified as the main failing component of the single cells due to oxidation. Thus, the chemical composition of the metal substrate has to be tailored, in order to improve the resistance towards oxidation and the cell life time. In this study, the behavior of three different metal substrates, ITM porous substrates, FeCrAl-Y and pure Ni foams were investigated at high temperature by simulating a sintering step in air the substrate has to withstand when conventional ceramic coating process are considered for the cathode layering. The three samples were sintered in air at a temperature between 1000 °C and 1250 °C, the final electronic conductivity being the main criteria to estimate the degradation due to oxydation. The Nickel Foam was fully oxidized in all tested conditions therefore no significant electronic conductivity was measured. The upper temperature limit was found around 1000 °C and 1100 °C respectively for ITM substrates and for FeCrAl-Y foam. For ITM substrate, the microstructure (porosity) was not altered up to 1100 °C while the FeCrAl-Y foam did not show any significant degradation up to 1250 °C. An innovative composite architecture was investigated to improve the electronic conductivity by impregnating the porous substrates with an electron conducting material reducible in hydrogen. The best results were obtained for FeCrAl-Y foams which were able to withstand oxidation in air up to 1150 °C with better electronic conductivities than the reference sample. This makes FeCrAl-Y a promising candidate as metal substrate for SOFC.

Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
I'm a Ruger man myself, so Im already biased. That said, I'd trust my life to an S&W anyday. ....'cept for that frame mounted lock thing Jon mentioned. hadn't heard that before. Though it does illustrate why I firmly believe that the best safety on a firearm is my trigger finger. All that other crap can fail.
If we are talking small .38 revolvers, forget the plastic crap and get the real deal. S&W has perfected the J Frame long before the LCR was even an idea in someone's mind.
I would go with "plastic crap". I did and never looked back. So far, every body that has shot my LCR has preferred it over the S&W. 2 of my friends own the S&W but like my LCR better. I shot both quite a bit and found I enjoyed shooting the LCR a lot more after 50 rounds. My wife has no problem shooting a couple hundred rounds with it. Both are great, but the LCR has a better trigger and better grips in my mind. Shoot both side by side and you will see. If its for your wife, consider getting the .357, and shooting .38s out of it. It's a little more comfortable that way as well. Good luck deciding.
I prefer the LCR. I own both, the .357 and the .38. That are great little revolvers. I don't think the bodyguard is worth the extra for the laser because the laser is not activated by a pressure switch. If, God forbid, she ever has to use it, she won't have time to turn on the laser. Crimson trace lasers are the only kind made IMO. The trigger pull on the LCR is also really nice. Also, they may not ever have any problems with them, but the LCR has a lock on it too. I think some people don't even know that.
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory. - Col. Jeff Cooper.
I just bought a SW 442. I really like it. The trigger pull is long, but I got some snapcaps and dry fire every chance I get. I also really like the lcr and I will also get that gun soon. I like the trigger better on the lcr, but I got a great deal in the smith w/out the lock.

Old String Question for the experienced
I was bored this evening after string a handful of racquets the last few days and decided to string one of my own. I haven't been playing or doing much lately.
Anyways, I had an old set of strings that came w/ my Ektelon Model D and I'd never used & I've since sold that machine and bought another like it.....That's another story.
I strung my POG 90 with PDP Dura-Chrome. The set says, "Package contains 22' & 11' of L15 Gauge Gut String."
I didn't know how to string with these two lengths and just made it work since I knew I only needed 33' of string. Any thoughts from the experienced classic stringers? It has a green ribbon to it that makes it look like it was made for a POG. I've only string w/ gut now a few times. I wasn't too concerned with quality of job since it was my racquet but midway through I was questioning why I didn't ask before I started.
Back to using POGs. Why did I ever leave you dear friend?

Vytautas Bacevičius: Orchestral Music
Catalogue Number: TOCC0049
Poème Électrique
Aidas Puodžiukas, piano The Lithuanian pianist and composer Vytautas Bacevičius (1905-70) is one of the undiscovered radicals of the twentieth century. The early works on this CD show him finding his voice, as in the First Piano Concerto, with its echoes of Scriabin, and the Poème électrique, cast in the 'machinist' aesthetic in vogue in the 1920s and '30s. The programmatic Second Symphony depicts the onset of the Second World War which Bacevičius, desperately anxious about his family in Poland and Lithuania, followed from his exile in the New World. And the late Sixth Symphony and Graphique, which show a kaleidoscopic, pointilliste use of orchestral colour, boiling with violent energy, point to an entirely new musical language.

Tim Ashley The Guardian 10th August 2007
The first disc devoted to the music of Lithuania's forgotten musical pioneer
Vytautas Bacevicius was born into a Polish-Lithuanian family in Lódz, Poland, in 1905, but emigrated to the then Lithuanian capital, Kaunas, in 1926. He studied in Paris with Tcherepnin (1927-31) and was much influenced by Scriabin and, later, Varèse and Jolivet. A fine pianist, Bacevicius thought of himself foremost as an orchestral composer.
The four sections of the single-span first of four piano concertos (1929) mirrors a traditional sonata-style layout in which folk material forms the motivic basis set in Scriabinesque harmonies. The concluding Allegro moderato, however, is almost jazzlike in its rhythmic élan – an echo, perhaps, of his Parisian sojourn. More impressive still is Poème électrique (1932), a highly coloured contribution to the short-lived machinist fad of the times. Closer to The Steel Stride than Pacific 231 or Iron Foundry, it is a most effective concert opener.
When the Second World War overtook Lithuania and Poland in 1939, Bacevicius was on tour in South America and he remained an exile (mostly in the US) until his death in 1970. The programmatic Second Symphony (1940) records his feelings at the invasion of his homelands in a simplified musical language, conceived (unsuccessfully) for America, that failed to secure attention. In the late 1950s he returned to a more advanced style, a "cosmic music" (of the inner cosmos of Man rather than Space), represented here by the turbulent Sixth Symphony (1960) and brilliant Graphique (1964) – the latter in particular showing what a fine composer Bacevicius was at his best. These fine performances and recordings (from 2003‑05) give this colourful music the best possible platform.

Can you extend the table in case you more 4 people for example ?
I really like the look of this table and it looks great in my new apartment. My only complaints are that the table came in damaged - there was a dent on one side and some black mark on one of the cushions of the seat. Also thought the seat cushions would be a little more comfortable - they are pretty hard. But it is a very nice looking table and works well if you have a small dining area.

Great Dining Set When I purchased this set, I was some what uncertain as what to expect. Set arrived earlier than I had hoped, and was in excellent condition. Colors were as described. The table and chairs are very sturdy. It was easy to put together. Nothing was damaged. Seen this set on other sites for much more money. A great deal.

The colors were a perfect match in my kitchen. This 5-piece black window back dining set was exactly what I needed in my small home. The colors are a perfect match for my kitchen colors, in addition, it was easy to put together for a novice like me. I did help a friend assemble it, though, but was able to put my next order from overstock together without any assistance. The chairs are not as comfortable as I would like, but, for the money, it's very nice. Thank you.

New research out of Queen's University has shed light on how exercise and relaxation activities like yoga can positively impact people with social anxiety disorders.
Related Articles
Adam Heenan, a Ph.D. candidate in the Clinical Psychology, has found that exercise and relaxation activities literally change the way people perceive the world, altering their perception so that they view the environment in a less threatening, less negative way. For people with mood and anxiety disorders, this is an important breakthrough.
For his research, Mr. Heenan used point-light displays, a depiction of a human that is comprised of a series of dots representing the major joints. Human point-light displays are depth-ambiguous and because of this, an observer looking at the display could see it as either facing towards them or facing away. Researchers have found people who are socially anxious perceive these figures as facing towards them (i.e., the more threatening way) more often.
"We wanted to examine whether people would perceive their environment as less threatening after engaging in physical exercise or after doing a relaxation technique that is similar to the breathing exercises in yoga (called progressive muscle relaxation)," Mr. Heenan explains. "We found that people who either walked or jogged on a treadmill for 10 minutes perceived these ambiguous figures as facing towards them (the observer) less often than those who simply stood on the treadmill. The same was true when people performed progressive muscle relaxation."
This is important because anxious people display a bias to focus on more threatening things in their environment. In fact, some researchers think that this is how these disorders are perpetuated: People who are anxious focus on anxiety-inducing things and thus become more anxious, in a continuous cycle.
"This is a big development because it helps to explain why exercising and relaxation techniques have been successful in treating and mood and anxiety disorders in the past," says Mr. Heenan, who worked with supervisor Nikolaus Troje (Psychology) on the research.

Make resolution part of your EARLY mass tort products liability strategy…
As plaintiffs use public opinion and the media to their advantage and file more high-risk and costly mass tort products liability claims, it is vital that you plan your end-game strategy early. Yet, you face major dilemmas. You believe in and have evidence of the safety of your product. Do you come to a reasonable settlement of claims to manage risk and defense costs or fully litigate and try these cases? Early settlement may be less costly in the overall context. But if you do not defend the product's safety, are you encouraging plaintiffs to bring more claims?
Hear how to weigh your options carefully and master the nuts and bolts of implementing effective settlements
The American Conference Institute's timely publication on Resolving Mass Tort Products Liability Claims was specifically designed to provide products liability litigators and in-house counsel the strategies and tools needed to devise novel end-game strategies to resolve "bet-the-company litigation." The faculty of leading in-house litigation counsel, law firm attorneys, judges, dispute resolution experts, settlement administration firms, and communication/PR experts have been on the front lines of mass torts, and have defended nationwide litigation involving various products (drugs, implants, chemicals and many others).

Highly recommended. Many thanks to Michael, he is the best driving instructor as I pass my driving test at first go :-) . He provided me all the good advises, great tips and positive thinking toward driving. Before, I was scared to drive but he helped me a lot with the driving as he was very calm and now I'm really confident to drive by myself with of course my P license. He actually save my money as I was thinking that I'm not ready to do the test but he was so sure that I can do it (as some instructors try to make more money out of you but not Michael) Call him now and make appointment, you won't disappoint. Thanks Again and Make sure you do the head check all the time (Hahaha)

VIENNA — Diplomats say the first round of Iran nuclear talks aimed at turning a tentative agreement into a final deal has been positive and indicates an agreement can be reached by the June 30 deadline.
The United States and five other powers want Tehran to agree to long-term curbs on programs that can make nuclear arms. Iran denies wanting such weapons but is seeking relief from sanctions imposed earlier over its refusal to reduce its atomic activities.
Two western diplomats familiar with the talks said the three-day round ending Friday focused mostly on the pace of lifting sanctions. They demanded anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the negotiations.
They said the parties will meet again on the sidelines of a U.N. conference in New York that starts next week.
