Course syllabus: MS 480 Approaching Musical Performance from Multiple Perspectives
IES Abroad Vienna organizes course-related excursions that complement what you're learning in the classroom, and contribute to your general knowledge of Austrian culture and society.
You also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures by professional musicians.
We want to make sure that your greatest challenge is deciding which landmarks to see first or discovering the best café—not finding a place to live where you feel comfortable. We do our best to locate housing that is reflective of how the local students are living. Our goal is that when you leave Vienna, it will feel like home.
You live in an apartment that typically accommodates four to five students. Apartments have Internet access and fully equipped kitchen facilities. Meals are not included in the program fee.
Part of making you feel at home in Vienna is doing our best to help you feel safe and cared for. Whether it's the orientation program that prepares you for what's ahead, your housing that is well-located and comfortable, or the field trips that take you to places off the beaten path—we're all about our student services. This is just one of the things we're known for.
After arrival in Vienna, you participate in an orientation program which introduces you to the city of Vienna, the IES Abroad program, and student life in the city. During the first few days, you settle into your housing, take care of formalities, receive briefings on safety and security, and tour Vienna and the surrounding area.
A day trip and possibly other excursions throughout Vienna bring you to sites that figure prominently in the lives and works of featured composers. In addition, you have the opportunity to attend guest lectures by professional musicians.

DEAR DAVE: Is there ever a time you should dip into emergency fund savings in order to pay off your home early?
DEAR ERIC: The only time I would advise this is when your emergency fund is too big, and you have a very small amount left to pay on the house. Keep in mind that your emergency fund should be three to six months of "expenses," not three to six months of income. Besides, paying off the house doesn't fall into the category of an emergency. The fact that you have to pay for your house doesn't catch anyone by surprise.

Delivering innovation
Airbus' commitment to eco-efficiency begins at the earliest stages of its aircraft development. Every year, the company invests some €2 billion in research and development – of which more than 90 per cent leads to environmental benefits for the aviation sector. For example, part of this investment is used to develop new aircraft that generate fewer emissions and less noise, while carrying a larger payload over longer ranges.
A "cradle-to-cradle" approach also is becoming more prevalent in the work of Airbus' designers, developing eco-friendly products and technologies that take into account the entire lifecycle – from design all the way through to recycling and re-using.
Working with suppliers to reduce engine emissions is a priority for Airbus. In addition to optimised propulsion systems and overall aerodynamic efficiency, the continuous and progressive introduction of advanced materials and new processes reduce an aircraft's basic weight to minimise fuel consumption and its corresponding engine emissions. Lessening noise is equally important for Airbus.
Setting standards
The A380 is the first commercial aircraft to incorporate as much as 25 per cent composites, with its carbon-fibre reinforced plastic composite centre wing box saving up to 1.5 tonnes of weight. As a result, the double-deck jetliner has a very low fuel burn of less than 3 litres per passenger per 100 kilometres. In-service experience has shown a fuel consumption of 20 per cent less than its nearest competitor.
The company also is working hand-in-hand with engine manufacturers on low-noise nacelle designs, acoustic treatment and low engine noise technologies. One such innovation is the zero-splice inlet technology for engine nacelles, which was pursued to reduce fan noise. It contributes to the A380's remarkably quiet flight, which delivers unprecedented certified noise levels with a 17-EPNdB cumulative margin to the most stringent ICAO Chapter 4 standard, and satisfies the noise requirements of international airports – including the strict requirements of London airports – QC/2 for departures and QC/0.5 for arrivals.
New-generation efficiency
Airbus brings together the very latest in aerodynamics, design and advanced technologies in the A350 XWB to provide a 25 per cent step-change in fuel efficiency compared to its current long-range competitor. Contributing to this performance are the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines that power the A350 XWB family.
Over 70 per cent of the A350 XWB's weight-efficient airframe is made from advanced materials, combining 53 per cent of composite structures with titanium and advanced aluminum alloys. The aircraft's innovative all-new carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) fuselage results in lower fuel consumption, as well as easier maintenance.
Compared to current CAEP6 (Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection) regulations, the A350 XWB displays comfortable margins: 99 per cent below the hydrocarbons limit, 86 per cent below carbon monoxide (CO) limit, 60 per cent below the smoke limit, and 35 per cent below the mono-nitrogen oxide (NOx) limit. Even in context of the proposed and more stringent CAEP8 constraints applied from 2013, the A350 XWB compliance margins remain high. A350 XWB is also a quiet neighbour. It is up to 16dB below the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Chapter 4 limit.
The best keeps getting better
The A320neo offers a per seat fuel burn improvement of 20 per cent compared to current engine option jetliners, with its new engine options (CFM International's LEAP and the PW1100G PurePower from Pratt & Whitney), Sharklet wingtip devices and further optimised cabin.
Introducing 1,500 A320neo jetliners to the global single-aisle fleet would lead to around 1.5 per cent fuel saving per year by 2020 (6.5 million tonnes of CO2 savings). Replacing the whole existing single-aisle fleet with A320neo jetliners would result in savings of approximately 20 per cent per year by 2020 with 87 million tonnes of carbon dioxide savings.
Learn more about the Airbus families of jetliners.
Did you know?
"In the last 40 years, the aviation industry has cut fuel burn and CO2 emissions by70%, NOx emissions by 90% and noise by 75%."

5.0 out of 5 stars i would give it a million stars,
By A Customer
i have read everything Wm. Boyd has published--even the screenplays. he's my favorite writer and i have a Ph.D. in Literature. ok--enough said--read this book--it will change you; it will haunt you. i have read TNC about 12 times. it is an insane book. here are Boyd's best, in order (according to snargey me, that is, and who am i to say what's best? an authority, that's who, knucklehead!): 1. the new confessions 2. brazzaville beach 3. on the yankee station 4. an ice-cream war 5. a good man in africa the rest of his books are kind of "uh..." to tell you the truth...but the aforementioned are great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely destined to be a classic!,
Bea Quinn (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
For the life of me, I will never ever forget the first and last sentences of this book, the slightly-damaged hardbound edition of which I bought for only a dollar(!) in a discount section of a bookstore here in Manila in 1994! A rare, serendipitous literary find for me, indeed. Truly captivating, a biography like this of one John James Todd can only be created by one destined to be a world literary giant. Medicine, Mathematics, Philosophy, 20th Century History, Cinema -- all combined and meticulously woven in one great book of insights. It is as if every turn of a page of this book, a hologram appears and all you have to do is watch, laugh and weep as the 3-Dimensional events happen grandly, clearly, colorfully and ceaselessly before your very eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boyd knows how to make the journey worth while,
Vanessa Bruce (Sydney) - See all my reviews
You know you have read a bad book when you sit through it, sneering in disgust until you reach the end, when you throw it across the room or hide it in shame. The wonderful thing with William Boyd is he is so magical with the subtlety of his messages. Reading Confessions I knew I was in the hands of a good writer, and that I would not be let down. True to form, the ending wrapped Confessions up neatly and fittingly. Reading books like Boyd's are a relief - there is so much [junk] out there and we must all thank God there are published writers who actually have true gifts of literacy (and I challenge anyone to beat Boyd at his game, he is a true master of the english lexicon). All in all, I love this book and if you, like me, feel good books are few and far between, read this for a good dose of refreshment.
4.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent blend of classic literature history of film,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Confessions (Paperback)
This novel is so bold. It's protagonist essays a contemprary film version of Rousseau's CONFESSIONS. The aspiration eats up his life, a lifetime which fits nicely into our century and the development of cinematic art. The reader travels through early century London and Gernmany and eventually to latter day Los Angeles. As soon as I finished this book I devoured the Rousseau and loved it as much.

The French Riviera - Cote d'Azur region
Côte d'Azur is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, with its blend of sun-baked hilltop villages.
The Cote d'Azur stretches along the warmest coastline of France from Provence to the Italian border.
The bustling cities of Cannes, Antibes and Nice contrast to the small and still authentic perched villages on the hilltops, and other smaller towns offer quaint town centres alive with artistic history and tradition.
Further north the terraced hillsides lead up into cooler parts and the Alps can be seen towering above. Hiking and walking as well as skiing in Winter are the activities on offer away from the busier coast.
Sightseeing is endless; you have Antibes and its historical old town and port, the town of Golfe-Juan and its great Marina, Vallauris and its potteries, Cannes and its port, old tow, famous Croissette and the beautiful Isles de Lerins, the charming hilltop village of Mougins and futher up Grasse and its famous perfumes. It is also possible to travel to Nice & Monaco and cross over the border to experience the flavour of the Italian Riviera.??
Antibes-Juan les Pins was a Greek fortified town named Antipolis in the 5th century BC, and later a Roman town, and always an active port for trading along the Mediterranean. Today it's an attractive and active town, popular with "foreigners" from Paris and the north of France, with non-French, and with the local population.
Antibes-Juan les Pins is one of the very sought-after seaside resorts of the Côte d'Azur, situated between Nice and Cannes. Antibes is the proper name of this ancient town, but it's commonly referred to as Antibes - Juan-les-Pins. The Juan-les-Pins part is a seaside resort and night-life area of sandy beaches, boutiques, night clubs and casino. The two places are close together, a good walk or short drive over the hill of the narrow part of the peninsula, or a longer and lovely drive around the coastline of the Cap d'Antibes. Antibes and Juan les Pins boast 2 large marinas and an historic centre, very popular with holiday makers. They offer a large choice of restaurants, cafés, theatres, piano bars, chic hotels and private clubs.
Antibes has a delightful old quarter with chateaux and a famous Provençal market. Juan les Pins offers an exciting nightlife with highly fashionable night clubs and casinos.
The Cap d'Antibes is a small piece of paradise, home to a number of millionaires.
A fascinating mix of the very rich and the ordinary holiday makers all taking advantage of the sun and scenery.

"I could not fault this rental property and would highly recommend it!"
We saw this property on the Owner's Direct website. The property manager Yvette was a pleasure to deal with from the booking to when we finished our holiday. She emailed us perfect directions to the apartment from Nice airport to the apartment by bus. Much cheaper than by taxi!! We were greeted by a lovely lady called Sylvia who showed us around and pointed us to all we needed to know. Throughout the week Sylvia was very helpful with anything we had a question about. The property is spotless throughout and very comfortable to stay in. It is very well located for the beach, shops, supermarkets, nightlife and trains to Cannes and Monte Carlo. It is very quiet at night time. I would highly recommend these apartments and we will be definitely be back.

What is your solution that we cut off our own arm in the process? When we punish the Church, we punish ourselves. Every dollar spent out, is partially a dollar of mine. Removing a priest, makes it harder on the ones I now have. What is the aim of this punishment? Are we trying to prevent or are we seeking revenge? Prevention comes in the reforms that have already been put in place and some still to come, anything more is being done out of spite. When you say "its" repentance should be severe, please explain what I have done that I need to repent. The "its" includes me and you. Were you involved? Why do you need to "severely repent". The parishioner is as much a part of the Church as the priest or Bishop.
Mr Hoffman:
To the extent the Church broke the law, it has been persecuted. It has paid out. Priests have been fired, Bishops have resigned. It has done everything the law has required it to do. It also has gone farther than the law requires by having extensive training, screenings, and other preventive measures internally to prevent the same events from occurring. More than ANY OTHER institution in the country or the world. Still that will never be enough for those that are anti-Catholic to begin with. Some will not be happy until they use the scandal as a crutch to destroy the Church. It is not about the scandal, it is not about just punishing the priests or the Bishops involved, it is about destroying the parishioner, the church goer, the average Catholic. You want to take the money I have donated and the priest that I follow away from the innocent.
This is my message, the Catholic Church is not going away. The Catholic Church is indeed growing. If you think I am going to demand that my Church destroy itself than you are more than naive. The Church is more than just another institution that you can assert your political will. It is the conscience of millions and million more to come. You are not going to reform its theology nor its Sacred Tradition by using the scandal as a crutch. Your tactics may work for more secular institutions but here it stops at the front doors. Reform was necessary and perhaps more reform is still needed but the Church has been and is still engaged in that process. That is all fine and good, but the solutions should not and cannot destroy the average innocent parishioner.
Oh Please,......Those that dress like slobs....is it because they exchanged their clothes with a beggar and left all their money at the tomb of Peter, or is it because they can't be bothered to show a little respect?? I do not think it is too presumptuous that it is 99.99% of the later. Again, please do not rationalize someones laziness and disrespect with the motivations of St. Francis and pretend they are the same when they are distinctly the opposite.
My support for them on their journey to that great temple in the sky has nothing to do with me not being able to provide a little tough love here on Earth and distinguish right from wrong.
Yes....and both say you are wrong.
It is ok to go our separate ways with our separate opinions but please do not rationalize or equate being a slob with St. Francis Assisi. Don't tell me that the vast majority of dressed down slobs at Sunday mass have no nicer outfit. St. Francis never told his flock to be disrespectful in worship. The vast majority in the modern Sunday service are not so poor that they do not own a nice pair of clothes. Modesty in dress is not the same as anything goes. It used to be you would dress in your Sunday's Best. Now most dress worse than they dress to work. A friars robe does not equate to a Van Halen T-Shirt and cut off shorts. I am not saying one should come in black tie and top hat, but a little care shows respect.
With all due respect, I think you are missing the big point, which is the fact that these people are at church, worshipping.
That is the first step, it does not end there. When someone make the minimal commitment should we say, OK....your done and you have done all you need to do?
I think their hearts are in the right place.
Then they should be receptive to the message to clean up.
You have no idea what others may be facing in their life, maybe those jeans and t-shirt are the only clean and decent clothes they have.
Really, 40% of the congregation is poor and that is their only pair of clothes. Please, spare me.
What if it was an angel in disguise, or Jesus himself? Would you be so quick to judge? Jesus wouldn't - He would be happy that the people are in church worshipping the Lord.
He would not be happy with the disrespect.
Jesus is not paying attention to what people wear, He does not keep score of petty things like that.
Jesus is about self improvement. Why not advocate some?
When does being poor equate to being a slob?
respect others by not judging
Sorry...that cliche does not work. One should not judge ones ultimate punishment, but that does not mean we cannot discern between right and wrong. I do not respect evil, sin, and other wrongs, nor should I. One should love all but sometimes that means tough love. There is no excuse for how some dress at church. If you cannot bother to take off the jeans and/or T-Shirts and dress a little more respectfully, then it is indicative of your respect for the ceremony.
Sorry No. Turzai was simply referring to the fact that now that the laws allows for a fair election that Romney could win, a Turzai spokesman has clarified the position in that there is voter fraud in PA, Do you remember 'Joe Cheeseboro?'" and that the ID laws allow for fair play, "Rep. Turzai was speaking at a partisan, political event. He was simply referencing, for the first time in a long while, the Republican Presidential candidate will be on a more even keel thanks to Voter ID…Anyone looking further into it has their own agenda."
It is hard to detect voter fraud when there are no laws in place to detect it. Voter ID is one of those tools. Considering known ACORN tactics in the past, it is not a leap to think much fraud goes beyond the ability to prosecute under existing laws.
Absolute unadulterated nonsense. One does not perpetrate a crime unless they actually committed a crime. Doing your duty as a neighborhood watch rep IS NOT a crime. His duty is to monitor and report and there was nothing unlawful by merely following a suspect, NOTHING! If your duty is to watch and report, then that duty did not cease prior to the arrival of police. A vigilante is someone who ENFORCES the law on their own and the is NO indication that Zimmerman at all was involved in a private stop/arrest, etc. of the suspect. What Zimmerman did is done every day in every neighborhood. In this case Zimmerman just also happened to have a gun and was able to defend himself.
Well, they used the term "maintained" because they were already "created." Regardless, militas were used at the time of the adoption of the Constitution and sense as a tool of the government to restore civil order, and never as a constitutional blessing to a military coup.
Other provisions of the Constitution already allowed the creation of the military/govt militias. We did not need a 2nd amendment to do that. The Bill of Rights was about private rights, limiting government. In that context, the 2nd amendment is all about the private right to bear arms to limit the government, not vice verse. Whether such a right is futile is another issue, but that is the clear implications and plain reading (in context) of the amendment.
Your analysis is just plain not correct. The Supreme Court has interpreted the 2nd amendment to allow for personal use, either self-protection or enjoyment, see eg District of Columbia Et al. v. Heller. Why do we always pretend there is no legal precedent for any of this?
One more time......a dispatcher does not give a police order. A dispatcher does not have the details of the events. A dispatcher is not in the immediate vicinity to protect wither Zimmerman or his fellow neighbors. Zimmerman followed a suspicious character which was well within his responsibilities as a neighborhood watch participant. One does not give up his responsibilities because some remote operator tells you (without knowing the facts) that he should just let the perpetrator go.
Actually modesq, there are Constitutional scholars that would disagree with you. The amendment reads the right to bear arms is to "maintain" a well regulated militia, it does not read the right to bear arms was to "create" a well-regulated militia. The thought at the time was that the populace needed to be armed in order to place an otherwise unregulated militia in check, i.e. maintain it within its proper bounds/authority. Different delegates to these conventions had separate opinions on the wording, but not all would agree with you.
There is a big divide between a 3-piece suit and looking like a slob or dressing for the heat. Why not show a little respect as if you want to be there? What is so hard about that?
At the same time, you provide no evidence that it will cause disfranchisement. The state does not have a duty to provide your evidence because their self-stated goal is uniformity, cut costs, and improve efficiency in tabulation of the vote. If their goal was to merely reduce one-type of voter fraud, then perhaps they would have more of an obligation to show prevention of that particular fraud. As that is not the only reason, it is not. They have shown that the current rules are more uniform, less cost, and more efficient. They met their rational burden.
What parent of reasonable intellect would allow his or her children to join the Boy Scouts after such a bigoted, narrow-minded decision?
I suppose the application of the terms "bigoted" and "narrow-minded" are only in the eyes of the beholder. Usually the one applying those terms is guilty of the very aspersions they charge to others. People can only hold one world view, theirs, or they are bigoted and narrow-minded. See the problem.
I was a Boy Scout, and I could rather care less what its position on gay's are. On the other hand, they have EVERY right to make the decision they did and all associations have a right to associate with those they want to associate. Most parents would and should have no qualms with sending their boy to a relatively Christian organization that serves to improve the boy in those values and itself will stand up for those values. When did standing up for what one believes become narrow-minded. When did it become bigoted to not tolerate what one views as deviant and immoral behavior. If anything, the BSA would not be leading by example by giving in to the leftist nonsense. What message does it send when it say we are Christian but leave your values at the door for the sake of someone else's coercive political agenda?
No...pretty much dislike both. Elements of Obamacare has gone into effect and has effected coverage on individual policies (if not mandated, in anticipation). When it is "fully implemented" will be only worse. Perhaps you need to read a book on it to understand.
But when he worked to close down companies for the sake of enriching shareholders.....that is a huge moral issue.
The moral issue would be if he screwed the shareholders. It is their money that runs the company and he would have both a moral and legal duty to the shareholders. They put CEO's in jail that do not work on behalf of their shareholders. That is what we call white collar crime. Would the letter writer preferred that Romney would have engaged in white collar crime. Would THAT have made him more qualified for President? Hmmmm....now that I think about it.
Law Client Practice List
I don't think Obama could release that one if he wanted to, it is very well protected by attorney-client privilege. Attorney-client privilege can only be waived by the client. I am not an Obama fan but some of this is silly.

Read Poems by
Danielle Ste
I met you today
Memory you will erase
I stayed positive
I could feel your pain
You did not want to let go
Our paths must part now
The tears were hidden
until I was left alone
I miss you dearly
Sense cannot be made
Of the circumstances that be
Fate dealt a cruel hand
I had just met you
But our friendship ran too deep
Then you said to me
We shall never again speak.

The Seawolves shot 47.1 percent (16-of-34) in the first half and had xx players scoring to take a 23-point lead (41-18) into the locker room at the half.
Stony Brook's Misha Horsey drained a jumper to open up the second half to make it 43-18 just 28 seconds into the final frame. Fowler hit a jumper for the Wildcats' first of the half, then Simpson drained a 3-pointer to make it 45-23 with just over 17 minutes to play. The Seawolves went on a 5-1 run to take a 26-point lead (50-24), but Simpson hit another trifecta to make it 50-27 with 14:05 remaining. Stony Brook went on another run to make it 59-27 with just over nine minutes to play. The 9-0 run included four points by both Young and Jodie Plikus.
Freshman Jill McDonald (Middlebury, Vt.) hit back-to-back buckets to cut the lead to 59-31 with 6:22 to play. McDonald finished with eight points and four rebounds for the Wildcats. The Seawolves, however, held New Hampshire scoreless for over six minutes to make it a 40-point lead (71-31) with 2:19 left to play. Jacinda Williams (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) hit two free throws then McDonald hit two of her own and nail jumper to make it to make it 71-35 with 1:52 to play. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Plikus made it a 77-37 final. Plikus finished the game with 13 points on 5-for-6 from the floor. Young also had 13 to go along with four assists for the Seawolves, while Horsey, Kirsten Jeter and Crystal Rushin all chipped in with ten points for the home team. Rushin led the squad in scoring with seven rebounds.
The Seawolves posted 24 points off New Hampshire's 24 turnovers. The Wildcats finished the game with a 15.1 shooting percentage (8-for-53), while the Seawolves shot 49.1 percent from the floor (27-of-55), including 57.1 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
The Wildcats will begin the America East tournament on Friday, Mar. 14. With the win over Maine on Wednesday, New Hampshire secured the seventh-seed and will play No. 2-seeded Vermont. Time of the game is yet to be determined.

Eurovision 2014: Molly Smitten-Downes backed for contest glory
Posted: May 08, 2014|
Leicestershire could have yet another reason to celebrate this weekend, when Molly Smitten-Downes takes to the stage in the 59th Eurovision Song Contest.
The Anstey-born UK entrant is third favourite to win this year's competition with her own composition, a powerful, upbeat, Eurovision-friendly track called Children of the Universe.
The 26-year-old, who performs as Molly, said: "I wouldn't say I was nervous just yet – mostly excited.
"There are some really good songs and I think I've got some stiff competition. It's not going to be an easy call."

Eurovision 2014: Can Leicestershire's Molly Smitten-Downes end song contest misery?
Molly will be hoping to wow viewers in the show's grand finale on Saturday night in Copenhagen, Denmark, when she goes up against performers from 25 other countries.
After the UK's poor showing in the contest in recent years, BBC bosses chose an unknown, up-and-coming artist to represent Britain this year. Molly's moment in the Eurovision spotlight comes two years after fellow Leicestershire artist Engelbert came second from bottom in the competition with the ballad Love Will Set You Free.
So, as the big day approaches, the 78-year-old music legend knows better than anyone how Molly will be feeling.
"I wish her all the best, of course," Engelbert told the Mercury. "She's representing our fine nation which I'm sure will be a thrill for her, as it was for me.
"Eurovision is hard to predict but she has a great song and seems to have a wonderful personality to go with it, so I hope that people back her."
It has been revealed that Molly – who yesterday had odds of 6/1 with bookies Paddy Power – will perform in a gold mini-dress and gladiator-style sandals.
According to the Mercury's very own Eurovision bloggers, New Yorkers Martin Phillips and Darron Copeland, who are reporting direct from Copenhagen, Molly's dress will not be the only thing sparkling on Saturday night.
In one of their latest updates they said: "The stage design is perfect – with a white floral stage pattern that turns a warmer shade of red and gold later in the song, with gold lanterns elevating to the ceiling."
There are a total of 37 countries competing in Eurovision this year. Of those, 31 countries will compete in two semi-finals this week, with 10 performers from each going through to the grand final.
The other six have automatic entry to the final. They are the competition's so-called "big six'', which includes the UK, and Denmark, which has automatic entry as hosts.
Tomorrow, each of the 26 finalists will perform in front of a jury comprising music industry professionals from each competing country. Their votes will count towards 50 per cent of the overall total.
The remaining 50 per cent will come from viewers.
The show will be screened live on BBC1 at 8pm on Saturday.

One of the things to do in the newest content patch "Sky Pirate of Tyria" is a scavenger hunt to go along with the release of the newest book "Sea of Sorrows". This hunt will send you all over Lion's Arch and beyond to learn the rough beginnings of Lion's Arch and the man behind it all. With this guide we will help you get to all of those, sometimes tricky, locations and net yourself a book that will give you five free skillpoints and the newest Explorer Achievement. Beware the spoilers within the guide and the plaques themselves can spoil the book if you intend to read it!
Lion's Arch Locations Map
First location is just south of the Western Ward Waypoint. Your destination is the new statue that overlooks the bay. Activate it and you are well on your way!
Second location just just east of that statue to the Moran Memorial Point of Interest. Just at it's base is your second of twelve plaques.
For the third location keep heading east of that Memorial past the Macha's Landing Point of Interest. Here, in an alley that leads away from the dock, is your next plaque.
Fourth location require you to take a little dip in the sea. Go south into Sanctum Harbor and head just north east of the Lion's Gate Point of Interest. You'll see a rock jutting out of the water, and down at it's baste will be a plaque.
Head east from that plaque to the Claw Island Portage Waypoint. Right next the Waypoint will be another plaque.
Look east of the Claw Island Portage Waypoint and to the dock that sits on the beach. Go UNDER that dock and you'll find, in my opinion, the hardest to locate plaque. Halfway done!
From there head southwest and over to the Lion's Gate Point of Interest. At the base of the old lighthouse will be that plaque.
Jump over to the Fort Marriner Waypoint and head north along the bridge. About midway over the bridge will be another plaque.
Keep heading north to the Yomm's Mercantile Point of Interest. Right next to the building will be your ninth plaque.
Now head east and up to the Crow's Nest Tavern Point of Interest. Within the Tavern, near the bar, is yet another plaque.
For your last plaque in Lion's Arch, head to the Deverol Island Point of Interest (which is north of the Farshore Waypoint). Here, head to the rock cropping that juts south of the peninsula and you'll find your eleventh plaque.
Your last plaque will be all the way over to Malchor's Leap. On the far west of the map you will see a lonely Point of Interest called "Harbinger". Go there, swim down and onto the main deck of the sunken ship. At the heart of it you will see the last plague! Congratulations!

Talk:Pokémon in South Korea
Korean TCG
So, the TCG in Korean has been printed all the way to EX: Power Keepers? Didn't know that! Where can I find more information about older TCG sets in Korea (I'm mostly concerned on Hoenn era, as I want to know the names of characters used on cards, whether or not they're the same as those used in anime/manga)? I am NOT asking about DP era, I know the official website. I'm asking ONLY about pre-DP era cards in Korean! --Maxim 20:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Since this article focuses on South Korea and has no mention of North Korea, the article should be renamed "Pokemon in South Korea" to avoid political bias. XVuvuzela2010X 18:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds like a fine idea to me. *Imagines Kim Jong-il playing Pokémon...* Hehehe... ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ 18:11, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- Do we... have any information regarding Pokémon in North Korea? If not, it would be an interesting research project for somebody... --P o L i 19:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- I do. Pokemon doesn't exist there. --Maxim 19:08, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Censorship section
It seem that everywhere I look, there is usualy something saying "banned in South Korea", yet there is no mention of any censorship in this article. XVuvuzela2010X 14:47, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- There is a small note about the banning of anime episodes, but it doesnt elaborate as to why they are banned. XVuvuzela2010X 14:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
A Note For Future Addition
I added the History section, which gives context to why it wasn't until relatively recently when Pokémon in South Korea reached parity with Japan and North America. Y'all are welcome to clean up the text and/or add other facts about it that I missed... but it should remain being about the ban on Japanese cultural imports which prevented Pokémon from gaining an official foothold in South Korea until relatively recently.
The next thing I want to do is possibly replace the "International Pokémon" logo with a "Pocket Monsters" logo used in South Korea. But I gotta upload a good one first... and then I gotta FIND one too. -- Nick15 21:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Another note to self: add info about the "Pokemon Story" stores found in Korea. There's one in Seoul and there was one in Busan, but the Busan store just closed. -- Nick15 (talk) 23:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, looks like BOTH closed. :( -- Nick15 (talk) 23:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help. I would love to see a Pokémon logo in Korean, rather than the standard one, if we can get a high quality image. Same thing with Greater China although that's harder since there are multiple official names for Pokémon in different dialects. --ZestyCactus 01:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'm thinking that we should use the most recent game's logo, and just rotate them out every time a new game is released. That is to say, there doesn't seem to be a single "overall" logo for Korea, apart from "International Pokemon". To which, the Korean logos for X&Y can be found here. -- Nick15 (talk) 03:09, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, I found a PERFECT generic Korean Pokemon logo, and I made the necessary changes. -- Nick15 (talk) 07:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help. I would love to see a Pokémon logo in Korean, rather than the standard one, if we can get a high quality image.

- Actually, looks like BOTH closed. :( -- Nick15 (talk) 23:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Banned Episodes
Does anyone know the specific episodes that are banned in South Korea?Micamike45 (talk) 00:50, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Hey, does anyone know if EP035 ever aired in South Korea? Since their dub is not based on the 4Kids version it seems possible. --ZestyCactus 01:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yep; you can actually watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss5zLKlt_ro -- Nick15 (talk) 05:07, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

The gap between the cost of housing and what families can afford to pay is one of the most serious challenges which face us as a community and as a nation.
The Peoria Housing Authority is dedicated to providing decent, safe and quality affordable housing to eligible persons with limited incomes. However, there are many more families eligible for housing programs than there is housing or funding available.

On Sunday, May 20, 2012, The College dedicated the Jack and Rosemary Murphy Gulati '61 Complex, thanks to the generosity and leadership of Jack and Rosemary Gulati '61 and Michael and Margaret Carney McCaffery '77.
The complex, a revitalized and enhanced space, features a new state-of-the-art fitness center and complementary entrance pavilion. The complex also includes the Michael and Margaret Carney McCaffery '77 Lounge that provides Chestnut Hill students, staff and faculty with a comfortable and attractive gathering space.
Recognizing the need to provide adequate conditioning and strength training facilities for the athletes in the College's expanding athletics program, the Gulati's generous gift spearheaded the initiative to transform the old gymnasium in Fournier Hall into a 5,000-square-foot fitness center that opened in November 2011. Available for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike, the state-of-the-art, ADA-compliant fitness center includes a lounge space, new locker rooms, and approximately four times more fitness equipment than its predecessor.
The complex went beyond the introduction of a new fitness center on campus and included the renovation and restoration of the Social Room. Opened in January, the Michael and Margaret Carney McCaffery '77 Lounge brings a modern and vivid new look to the space while providing students with a welcoming environment to gather for study, group discussion, and relaxation. The lounge features a café that is open early mornings to midnight, offering students another option for meals on campus. This friendly and warm space, complete with a stone-clad fireplace, plush seating and ample tables and meeting areas, offers students the perfect place to study, chat, watch high-def TV or access the internet via Wi-Fi.
The Gulati and McCaffery families have strong ties to the College. Jack Gulati serves on the board of directors and Rosemary recently celebrated her 50th reunion at the College. After graduating from Chestnut Hill, Rosemary went on to teach elementary school, raised a family, and volunteers for a variety of charitable organizations. Jack, an entrepreneur and innovator, has owned several businesses throughout this career, including SafetyCare, a technology company that provides 24-hour safety and security monitoring, and Stokesay Castle in Reading, Pa., a spectacular restaurant and banquet facility modeled after a 13th century castle in England. Their support of Chestnut Hill reflects Rosemary's appreciation for the "strong" education she received at the College and their commitment to its vision of growth.
"The high academic standards at Chestnut Hill College prepared me to substantially help the children I taught and the organizations with whom I volunteered," said Rosemary Gulati. "I learned if you hold people to high standards, they usually meet them."
Margaret Carney McCaffery, M.Ed. '77 and her husband Michael have been very supportive of the College in recent years, demonstrating their life-long commitment to education. Margaret, who earned a bachelor's degree in early childhood education at the College and a master's degree in special education from Santa Clara University, has taught math, reading, and study skills at the California Parish school her children attended, while her husband Michael runs his own investment company. Their support of the College stems from the strong mission and values Chestnut Hill College represents. "They're completely committed to their mission and don't deviate from it. We cherish the opportunity to be a part of the College's terrific future."
Margaret has completed two, three-year terms on the board during which she served as chair of the Development Committee for the past four years, and was a member of the Enrollment Management and Student Life Committee. At their quarterly meeting on May 21, 2012, the board of directors of Chestnut Hill College elected her to serve as chair of the board of directors, effective September 2012.
Please join the Division of Teacher Education and Leadership and the Council for Exceptional Children in participating in the Seventh Annual Walk for Lily's Hope Foundation on October 5th from 2-3 p.m.
All donations are contributed to the foundation, which assists premature babies and their families.
More information is available on their website, www.lilyshopefoundation.org.
Please consider supporting this great event!
More information will be posted soon.

Londrigan gets another shot...
At AFC 10 on August 16 James Londrigan will return to the AFC when he takes on the durable Luke "The Lycan" Catubig.
After a first up submission loss to Anthony Cowley at AFC 9, James is keen to get on the winners list. After a fast start against the Cowley, Londrigan was embroiled in a an intense grappling war until he was caught in a Rear Naked Choke:
"I'm a little disappointed with how the fight went last time. Things were going well early. Hopefully I've fixed those little mistakes and can get the win this time"
Coming from a Jiu-Jitsu pedigree, Londrigan also encompasses a diverse range of striking which he feels will hold him in good steed come August 16:
"I think I'm pretty well rounded. My ground games pretty solid and my strikings improving with every week"
In just over a month Londrigan will face the extremely tough Luke Catubig who has been in the ring with some of the AFC's finest. Safe to say James isn't really sure what to expect:
"No idea really. Just trying to focus on my own game and see where that takes me"
James is renowned for his fights not making it out of the first round, and come AFC 10 he is expecting this trend to continue:
"Well I'm still yet to see the second round so hopefully another first round finish"
Not long now until Australia's Number 1 Fight Promotion is back, and with fights like Londrigan vs. Catubig get your tickets and get on down to the Melbourne Pavilion.

CHADRON – After splitting four matches while playing in a classic hosted by Nebraska-Kearney last weekend, the Chadron State College volleyball team will enter the Colorado State-Pueblo Tournament this weekend.
The Eagles will help open the tournament in Pueblo by meeting William Jewell College at 9 a.m. Friday. Chadron State beat the Missouri team 3-1 in both teams' closing match at Kearney on Saturday. William Jewell finished with a 1-3 record at Kearney.
The Eagles also beat Newman University of Kansas, but fell to South Dakota Mines and host UNK last weekend.
Later on Friday, CSC will meet No. 8 ranked Wayne State and then play Southwest Baptist of Bolivar, Mo., and Lindenwood University of St. Charles, Mo., on Saturday.
Wayne State went 4-0 while playing in a classic hosted by Concordia-St. Paul. The Wildcats' big win was a 3-1 victory over the hosts, who were No. 1 in the American Volleyball Coaches Preseason poll and have won six national volleyball championships.
Wayne State also defeated the University of Indianapolis, and nationally-ranked Colorado Mines and Wingate of North Carolina in the St. Paul Classic.
Southwest Baptist went 2-2 last weekend, beating Cameron of Oklahoma and Henderson State of Arkansas, but losing to Texas A&M-Commerce and Southern Arkansas.
Lindenwood was 0-4 and did not win more than one set in any of its matches while falling to Arkansas Tech, Northern State of Aberdeen, S.D., St. Cloud State of Minnesota and Drury, another Missouri team, during a classic at Springfield, Mo.
The Eagles will open their home schedule on Sept. 20 and 21 by playing Metro State and Regis.

text: Will3 5pts In terms of shear elegance, I am in no way saying that Cadillac is ready to play with Rolls. But I do find it interesting that when it is mentioned that those "cars of pure elegance and class" use column shifters, no one says $hit! And for those who don't do their homework, Rolls is owned by BMW! So please tell me why the Germans (in the form of Rolls) are so great and classy, while having a column shifter, but it just SOOO unacceptable on a Cadillac. You readers really have bias and give a pass to the Germans at almost every turn. Shows your hate and bias CLEARLY!

SARATOGA SPRINGS - Among authors, Jeff Kinney's a rock star. His Diary of a Wimpy Kid, chronicling the misadventures of Greg Heffley, is among the most popular on the planet.
The eighth book in the series is eagerly awaited in November, plus three movies, and soon an animated TV special.
Time magazine even named Kinney one of the 100 most influential people in the world. "It's not really deserved in my opinion, but it is pretty cool," says Kinney, who was recently in Saratoga Springs as part of Saratoga Arts Fest.
He signed books and spoke to kids and their parents about how it all began. "I read the comics. My dad would put them out every morning."
Kinney says he wanted to be a newspaper cartoonist. He even showed one of his rejection letters. Despite the eventual achievements - now published in 44 languages, and hundreds of millions of readers, he still thinks of himself as a gag writer.
"I always feel like a failed newspaper cartoonist first and an accidental writer second, so I don't feel like a legitimate author," says Kinney.
There's no arguing the success is legit. Still, Kinney remains the unassuming person he was when he was drawing a character named Igdoof for the college newspaper at the University of Maryland.
Despite being one of the most popular authors in the world, Jeff Kinney says writing and illustrating remain a part-time pursuit. His day job is website creator.
Kinney says he'd like to do 10 Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, maybe more. "I'm not doing this for the money. I'm doing it for the love of cartooning and writing. It's what I always wanted to do, so I'm going to keep writing until I don't feel like I'm writing well," he says.
Hopefully for his millions of young fans that's a long time from now.

Daily Health Tips update for May 3:
The vitamin B12 bandwagon has been cruising along at a steady speed for some time now, but it might be time to start putting your money where your mouth is and take a gamble on the health benefits of this amazing vitamin.
- Pick me up. Vitamin B12 may help alleviate depression by working with a compound that makes serotonin, which gives the brain an all over good feeling.
- Sing me a lullaby. B12 can also help increase melatonin, the hormone responsible for you getting a good night's sleep.
- Catching my breath. Studies have found that high doses of B12 can improve asthma-related attacks and relieve shortness of breath.
- Go swimmers, go! B12 has also been linked to a dramatic increase in the sperm counts of men. It also super-charges the sperm, helping it swim faster and stronger.
- Ring a ding! Tinnitus, that annoying ringing in your ears, can often be linked to those with a vitamin B12 deficiency. Some people have noticed a diminished ringing from simply taking a B12 supplement.
So where can you get your hands on some B12? Well, aside from supplements, some of the foods richest in vitamin B12 include salmon, lamb, beef, shrimp and yogurt. So eat up and keep that wagon healthy!
