"Ever tried, ever failed. No Matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail Better." – Samuel Beckett
UMO Ensemble, a physical theatre company from Seattle, Washington, is proud to present FAIL BETTER: BECKETT MOVES UMO as part of the 19th annual New York International Fringe Festival – FringeNYC.
UMO explores the essential themes of Samuel Beckett's work using a giant teeter-totter, ropes and pulleys. Five archetypal Beckett characters tackle love, life, death and going-on in typical Beckett fashion: with humor, metaphor, stillness and gross indecency - creating a living, visceral experience.
The work of Samuel Beckett has fascinated UMO for many years. Beckett grapples with existential questions of life, love, action and inaction, and his writings speak directly to physical enterprise: walking, balancing, eating, hanging, spinning. UMO takes these impulses, these questions and conundrums, and uses them to launch our love story – into the air itself.
FAIL BETTER premiered at Seattle's ACT THEATRE in fall 2014, as part of the Seattle Beckett Festival, and returned for a second run in April 2015 following stunning first-round reviews and sold-out houses. Director Elizabeth Klob conceived the show with lead writers Lyam White and Maria Glanz. Mr. White and Ms.
Glanz perform, along with UMO Founders Janet McAlpin and David Godsey, and guest artists Terry Crane and Jimmy Garver. Mr. Crane is a world-renowned rope artist, and Mr. Garver an extraordinary sound designer joining us from Washington, DC. Jon Schroeder designed the giant teeter-totter, central to the show. UMO Ensemble is one of the most innovative, compelling and critically acclaimed performance companies based in the Pacific Northwest. In the past 25 years, UMO has made over twenty physical theatre works, including Red Tiger Tales, El Dorado, Maldoror and more. UMO's mission is to stir the human spirit and incite the imagination by providing awe, challenge and inspiration through original and compelling art. Our work is image-rich and physical, combining character, movement, music, sculpture and story. We seek the alchemy of live performance, through which thoughts and images under the surface of culture are given form.
"A brilliantly performed and orchestrated show… an artistic postcard from the edge of reality well worth going to see, hear, feel and experience." - L. Steven Sieden, Huffington Post
"UMO Ensemble's remarkable tribute to (Beckett's) genius, Fail Better is a mesmerizing production… a visual delight and an intellectual teaser." –The Seattle Times

BENTONVILLE, Ark., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On the fifth day of its "12 Days of Giving" holiday campaign, Walmart is awarding $120,000 to 14 nonprofits that are creating a better future for children across the country. One of the winning organizations, Para Los Ninos, serves its community by providing high-quality education integrated with family support, mental health services and community engagement opportunities to thousands of children living in at-risk neighborhoods in Los Angeles County.
Over twelve consecutive days, Walmart will award a total of $1.5 million to 140 organizations across the country that are providing basic needs and services such as food, shelter, clothing and medical care. Organizations receiving grants today are featured on Walmart's Live Better tab on Facebook. The organizations serve communities in: Vermont, California, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
"Building a better tomorrow starts with our children, yet 22 percent of kids in the U.S. live in poverty," said Sylvia Mathews Burwell, president of the Walmart Foundation. "Through education, nourishment, mentorship, clothing and shelter, the organizations honored today are helping children community by community achieve a brighter future. We're honored to help support their mission with grants this holiday season."
Walmart's November call for submissions resulted in more than 21,677 nominations from Facebook users who submitted descriptions of each nonprofit's impact in its local community. Submissions were initially reviewed by Walmart associates from across the company and then a panel from the Walmart Foundation selected the winning organizations.
The organizations being spotlighted today for "Building a Better Future" include:

Why is The Wanted Tom Parker #ThankyouTomParker Trending?
Why is The Wanted, band member, Tom Parker, trending on twitter? The actual worldwide hashtag that is trending is #thankyoutomparker.
Thomas "Tom" Anthony Parker, age 24, learned to play the guitar at the age of sixteen. He went on to audition for The X Factor but unlike the band, One Direction, who he had a twitter war with, did not get past the first round. Parker joined a Take That tribute band known as Take That II and toured Northern England, before joining The Wanted in 2009.
Tom Parker was bullied as a child. During one incident all of his notes were ruined, causing him to fail his exams. He ended up joining a Tribute Band and the rest is history. Tom believes in everyone and gives everyone hope.
Some of the tweets for ThankyouTomParker include:
#ThankYouTomParker for telling us that we should be proud of who we are.
#ThankYouTomParker for being amazing to us,for supporting us, for being there for us with out @TomTheWanted i don't know where i'd be! x
Yesterday's twitter trend was Justin Biebers #cut4Bieber. This trend seems more reasonable as fans are thanking Tom for being him verses harming themselves.

Utah gets federal bonus money for CHIP programs
SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time since federal legislation created financial incentives to encourage enrollment of children in health insurance programs nationwide, Utah is cashing in.
The state Wednesday was awarded about $10.2 million as a bonus from the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which makes more than $300 million available each year to states that simplify enrollment processes and sign up and retain more children.
It is the first time Utah is collecting an award since the legislation took effect in 2009.
"We are trying to make the process as efficient as possible so people who are eligible for the programs can navigate the programs easily and find what they need and maintain their enrollment," said Utah Medicaid director Michael Hales.
The award will go directly to the state's general fund, where lawmakers will decide how to distribute it. As most of the changes to the Medicaid and CHIP programs were administrative, the money wasn't expected to cover the small increases in enrollment in the past year.
In Utah, 74.3 percent of eligible children are enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP programs, whereas the national average is nearly 85 percent, according the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an office of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The agency, which announced bonus awards Wednesday, reports that continued increases in Medicaid and CHIP enrollment are "driving the nation's steady progress of increasing the number of children with health insurance coverage."
The number of uninsured children has declined from nearly 5 million in 2008 to 4.4 million in 2010.
To qualify for the bonuses, states must implement five of eight specific program features aimed at streamlining their enrollment procedures and reducing barriers to improve children's health insurance coverage programs. They also must increase enrollment in Medicaid above a baseline level for the fiscal year.
The changes have to be in effect for at least six months.
Utah had already eliminated its in-person interview requirement, which allowed more individuals in rural areas of the state to apply. It coordinated its application and renewal procedures, adopted administrative renewal, as well as presumptive eligibility for children in foster care, which extended eligibility to a child's siblings upon going back to their parents.
While Utah retains an asset test for some families, the state simplified the process by no longer requiring families to submit verification of their assets. An electronic system replaced an otherwise cumbersome paper process, making it more efficient, Hales said.
The number of children insured in Utah under Medicaid increased from 165,795 in 2011, to 168,895 this year. CHIP enrollment in the state dropped slightly in the past year, from 37,464 to 35,544, but Hales said that was expected with a gradually improving economy.
"Economic factors determine eligibility for the program," he said.
Enrollment had been declining in Utah since 2009.
In Utah, a child is CHIP-eligible if the household income is at least 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Federal minimums vary for Medicaid eligibility in the state, depending on a child's age.
Other possible program features that could still be implemented in Utah include using the same application for Medicaid and CHIP programs, since individuals must first be screened for Medicaid to be approved for CHIP; a process that would utilize findings from other public benefit programs to determine eligibility for health insurance; and premium assistance.
In previous years, Hales said, the state did not vie for the awards because of unclear expectations. Upon clarification, he found that simple administrative fixes and slight modifications to policy would qualify Utah for the bonus money.
The state intends to seek another bonus next year, which is the final year it will be available under the current legislation.
This year, 23 states qualified for the performance bonuses. The awards ranged from just less than $1.5 million for Idaho to nearly $43 million for Colorado, which received a bonus for the third straight year.

If you don't use it, you could lose it
Experts agree that living a healthy, independent life in later years is greatly affected by what women do in their middle age.

Experts agree that living a healthy, independent life in later years is greatly affected by what women do in their middle age.
"As they age, women are confronting bone loss that accelerates rapidly," says Jack Goodman, associate professor of physical education at the University of Toronto. "They also have accelerated loss of muscle mass."
He doesn't mean just getting weaker but actually losing muscle fibres. This is partly due to the "if you don't use it, you lose it" syndrome, which affects both men and women, he says, but also due to the effects of aging.
"There's good reason to perform exercise that stresses the bones, as it helps reduce loss of bone mass," says Goodman.
Massage therapist Karen Wingrove, 47, says she's always been active but, staring menopause in the face, it's time to ratchet up the effort. She sees the impact of osteoporosis and degenerative changes in her job and is working to avoid having the same problems with regular yoga classes and strength, cardio and stability training.
"The impact of exercise is huge," she says. "It feels great."
Trainer Erin Billowits, founder of Vintage Fitness specializing in fitness for people over age 50, says equipment can be minimal. "I meet a lot of women in their homes and we use just a stability ball, exercise bands and hand weights."
Billowits focuses on the three main areas of strength, balance and cardiovascular health.
"The ideal exercise is something you like to do. If it is walking, choose walking.
"But don't do what you always do, such as just walk the dog for 20 minutes," warns Billowits, "or you won't see any changes."
Of the women who contact Vintage Fitness for help with their workout regimens, many are empty-nesters.
Billowits says their physical lives change dramatically after years of "daily activities, of gardening, climbing stairs and maintaining homes.
"Being in a condo, after a year or two they notice they can't pick up their grandchildren, they're getting heavier and losing flexibility in their shoulders. They worry about getting hurt."
Mirja Herbertz, 70, has always practised yoga but was prompted to sign up for twice-weekly aquafit and exercise classes three years ago when her husband died.
"I am mortal, too," she says
The social aspect of the classes, conveniently held in her apartment building, adds to her enjoyment of the classes.
"Why go out and fight the elements if I don't have to?"

D-MicrofibersPublication Year: 2013 , Page(s): 2756 - 2761
A simple mechanical setup was used to polish a standard single mode optical fiber in order to make it asymmetric. The polished fiber was tapered down maintaining the D-shape transversal profile. Its broken symmetry along with the extended evanescent field, due to the dimensions of the microfiber, implies a potentially high birefringent waveguide as well as a high-sensitivity external refractive in...

Bombs away from USC against San Diego insiders
L.A. report calls San Diego establishment an "exclusionary enterprise."
Matt Potter 2:08 p.m., July 30
Land bird migration is in full swing this month in San Diego County, with warblers and flycatchers among those most commonly seen. Warblers crawl along trees limbs and branches to dine on their favorite insects, while flycatchers, as the name suggests, catch their meals on the wing. Riparian areas such as the San Diego River through Mission Gorge and Marian Bear Park in San Clemente Canyon are favored by both birds and birdwatchers.

Kaymer leads summit race but Donald keeps the British flag flying
Saturday 26 February 2011
Martin Kaymer could replace Lee Westwood as world No 1 today, but if that is an ominous thought for the British golf fan then the progress of Luke Donald here at the Accenture World Championship is more than a welcome distraction.
Donald moved into the quarter-finals with a 3&2 victory over Matteo Manassero, the Italian sensation, yesterday. The 17-year-old has enjoyed a dream run in south Arizona but was no match for the golfer 16 years his elder. Donald was four-under for his first nine and did not drop a shot all day. The Englishman looks transformed from the golfer who trudged away from last week's Northern Trust Open after a second-round 79.
To what does he put the difference down? A little bit of rust and a whole lot of adrenaline. While Riviera was his opening tournament of the year, Donald loves the matchplay format as proven by a starring role at last year's Ryder Cup. "I enjoy that urgency of having to get it done in 18 holes," said Donald, who faces Ryan Moore this morning. "I thrive on that vibe."
In this form, Donald looks a sound bet to follow up the triumph of his compatriot Ian Poulter last year, although the experience of Ben Crane here will re-emphasise the fickleness of this head-to-head format.
On Thursday, the American thrashed the 21-year-old Rory McIlroy 8&7. Yesterday he lost 7&6 to the 47-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez. As brilliant as he was against the young Ulsterman he was as woeful against the veteran Spaniard, shanking his tee-shot into the desert on the climactic par-three 12th. Yet nothing should be taken away from Jimenez, a man who is rapidly becoming a hero for golfers over a certain age who enjoy a certain lifestyle.
Next up for The Mechanic is Kaymer. The German needs only to win two games today and he will replace Westwood at the summit, regardless of how he fares in tomorrow's final. But the evidence of his 2&1 defeat of Hunter Mahan in a high-class encounter establishes the US PGA champion as the clear favourite.
The growing American fan-club of Bubba Watson will no doubt disagree and the manner which this left-hander accounted for Geoff Ogilvy, a two-time Accenture champion, was certainly impressive. Watson was seven-under for his 15 holes, unleashing some outrageous strikes in the process. Watson is a maverick in every sense. His swing is less text-book more comic book and after this 6&5 dismantling he referred to himself in the third person throughout his TV interview. He finished it thus: "Bubba did good today."
The American networks will be mighty relieved he did and will relish this morning's big-hitting contest between Watson and JB Holmes (who beat Jason Day on the 18th). Rickie Fowler, the 22-year-old from California, had been the poster boy, but after seeing off Phil Mickelson in spectacular fashion on Thursday he failed to make the sparks fly in a more dour contest against his compatriot Matt Kuchar.
Kuchar will now face the Korean YE Yang, who produced yet another shock when seeing off Graeme McDowell, the 3&2 victory being capped with a chip-in on the 16th green. In truth, McDowell's golf has been scrappy all week and his progress owed more to the competitive spirit which oozes out of the US Open champion.
His efforts at least ensure he leapfrogs Tiger Woods in the rankings, who will not be in the top three for the first time since May 1997. But such seems the speed of his freefall that statistic is not nearly as gobsmacking as it once would have been. What will yank the eyebrows under visors – particularly in America – is the ever-intensifying blue-and-gold confluence at the peak of the order. This is the first time in 19 years that Europe can boast the world's top three. A remarkable development.
Indeed, if Donald's form continues his continent will have the game's principal quartet. And the last time they could say that was in 1992 when Ian Woosnam, Nick Faldo, Jose Maria Olazabal and Seve Ballesteros commanded the summit. Naturally, it is impossible not to hark back to this golden age.

My husband and I are planning a 9 day trip to Peru in May. We are more city people than outdoorsmen or hikers. How much time should we plan to spend at Macchu Picchu. We will be spending one night at the Sanctuary Lodge, so we will definitely have a full day our second day. Should we also plan to spend a full day the day we arrive as well?
Thank you, Inor

Macchu Piccu 1 or 2 days to explore?
My husband and I are planning a 9 day trip to Peru in May. We are more city people than outdoorsmen or hikers. How much time should we plan to spend at Macchu Picchu. We will be spending one night at the Sanctuary Lodge, so we will definitely have a full day our second day. Should we also plan to spend a full day the day we arrive as well?
Report Abuse
Staying at the Lodge puts you at the doorstep, so one full day would satisfy most people. Being at the Lodge definitely puts you ahead of the crowds and by all means get out early not only for the sunrise but before the tours come and the trains pull in. Take it easy as the altitude and all the stairs and climbing can be much for some. We did two days to soak it all in. Enjoy.
Report Abuse
Found one day to be sufficient, I too am a city person. Before you decide on whether you will spend one night or two check the train schedules/prices. You may find you really get two half days if you plan on staying in MP for one night.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your reply. I am also trying to figure out if we should purchase tickets to climb MP Mountain. I think it will probably be more than we can handle, but I'm wondering if we should still buy tickets just incase it looks like something we want to do when we get there.
Thank you, Inor
Report Abuse
We did two days in Machu Picchu. If you go first thing in the morning and stay until close, you should have plenty of time to explore the entire area. It took us around 2 hours to climb up and down MP Mountain. If you want to climb it, you must buy tickets in advance.
One thing to consider: It might rain. We had two very rainy mornings. The clouds didn't break until around 1:00PM both days. Then the weather was great, but you might have rain for half the day.

"One thing to consider: It might rain...You might have rain for half the day."
That's why I spent a second day, ending up back in Cuzco by eve. Look at the time and $ you are investing to see MP and consider hedging your bet with one more day. You might still want to arrange just one night in Sanctuary Lodge for budget reasons.

We all have those items that hang around our homes for months or years hat collect dust untouched. Sometimes, however, we develop a sense of attachment to those items, and just don't want to see them discarded. Trying to sell pre-loved items to collectors, thift stores, or by holding a yard sale is a whole lot of effort with little payout. Show More Summary

Elevance, Genting Enter Biorefinery Collaboration
Elevance Renewable Sciences, a specialty chemicals company, says it will partner with Genting Plantations Berhad to build a 240,000 metric ton biorefinery that uses Elevance's metathesis technology to produce biochemicals from renewable oils.
The 25:75 collaboration between Elevance and Genting will produce renewable, high-performance olefins and specialty chemicals that can be used in multiple end-product applications, including lubricants, surfactants and detergents.
The biorefinery will be located in the Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC) in Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia.
The Elevance metathesis biorefinery technology produces multiple high-value chemical streams similar to petroleum-based refineries. Elevance's low-pressure, low-temperature process uses Nobel Prize-winning innovations in metathesis catalysis that consume less energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent compared to petrochemical technologies. An efficient, selective catalyst is used to break down natural oils and recombine fragments, resulting in a process with lower source pollution, production costs and capital expenditures than petrochemical refineries, Elevance says.
Earlier this year, Versalis and Elevance signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop and scale a metathesis technology to produce biochemicals from vegetable oils. The partners will assess the design and construction of the first world-scale ethylene metathesis-based production that will utilize renewable oils at the Versalis Porto Marghera site.
