It may be surprising for you to learn this – but in couple counselling (following a systemic model of therapy) the therapist's primary "patient" is not the two individuals coming into therapy. The patient is actually the couple's relationship.
But how does a systemic couple counsellor talk to a relationship?
Whilst offering therapeutic interventions to an individual may seem straightforward ("how do you feel about that?") such an intervention (called an open – or linear – question) fails to focus on the relationship – it focuses on an individual.
If a couple's relationship cannot be asked "how do you feel about that", how do we ask questions of a relationship?
Connections made within a Relationship.
When working with a couple (or a family) in a systemic model of therapy, systemic therapists operate with the hypothesis that each member of the family is connected with everyone else in the relationship "system". Thus, Person A's behaviour affects Person B. In turn, Person B's response to the A's affect can go on to affect others in the system (and even affect Person A back in return). This is known as a Circular Effect and is distinct from a linear or a casual effect.
Example of a Couple System.
- Person "A" acts out behaviour "z".
- Person "B" responds with behaviour "y".
- "A" misunderstands "y" and thinks he has just experienced behaviour "x". He already has a response for "x", which is behaviour "w".
- B is hurt – she has just seen behaviour "w" in response to her behaviour "y", and she think's that's so totally unnecessary! She retaliates with behaviour "v".
- A is now aghast at behaviour "v" and gets out the old response "u".
…and so on. Can you see that this system is escalating into conflict (such as an argument)?
The systemic couple counsellor perturbs (or "unbalances") the behaviour to help the couple learn about their response cycles, to inquire about what the system is meant to be achieving, to support the couple figuring out where the system could be altered, and to learn to watch out for triggers that they can choose to alter in situ, etc…
As a systemic couple counsellor, the original Milan Associates field of family therapy proposed that for a relationship to exist between people there has to be differences between the individuals in that relationship. Differences – not similarities. In order to assist a couple in couple counselling I help the couple learn what differences exist in their relationship. Differences provide the couple and I information about the relationship and the connections and distinctions within it. To learn about a relationship's differences, and how the relationship 'system' works, we need a form of questioning that allows us to focus on the relationship, i.e. on the whole system rather than the individuals that make up the relationship; circular questionining allows us to do this. Initially, the therapist models the process of asking about differences (in addition to other systemic methods such as hypothesising, creative thinking, paradoxical thinking & perturbation), and by doing so invites the couple to take up this process. Circular questions are unfamiliar to many – and a couple being asked a circular question may initially struggle, but later enjoy the challenge and to learning that such questions bring out of the relationship.
Example Questions: Individual versus Relationship.
"How do you become depressed?"
When working in individual counselling, we ask questions of the individual.
This is an open question.
"When A is depressed, what does B do in response to this?"
When working with a couple, we are focussed on the relationship.
This is a circular question.
- Person B joins in with A's depression, or
- Person B may do something to avoid A's depression, or
- something else;
… we will learn about the system between Person A and B when depression occurs.
Relationship Counselling: "Information is a Difference".
Selvini et al (1980) put forth systems ideas from Gregory Bateson (1972) – originally from computer systems theories – and reframed the concepts of computer systems into human family systems: we try to gain information because "information is difference", and "difference is a relationship" (cited by Julia Houston, Sarah Galloway, 2008, Google Books). In systemic couple counselling, we are attempting to out draw out information from the relationship (the "system") so that the couple can learn new things about what is happening. As the responses to circular questions can be used by the therapist to form further circular question, lots of new things (new differences) can be learned about the system. For example: when addressing a couple who believe that they are unable to stop arguing, one approach I may take is to open with:-
My initial purpose is to begin perturbing the couple's firmly held concept ("we cannot stop arguing") by giving the couple something new to think about. I am inviting the couple to learn something new about their system – and it is likely that this is the first time a couple have been asked a question like this. Plenty of conversation can ensure from this and I usually find that a number of common responses (any of which can be responded with further circular-type enquiries) begin:-
|Therapist's response may be: "…and when he/she notices this, what do they do?" (and later) "…and what is your response to that behaviour?"
|Therapist's response may be: "…that's interesting isn't it? You're disagreeing on who is noticing the argument beginning" (soliciting further discussion).
|Therapist's response may be: "…well that's curious, isn't it? What do you make of that?" (soliciting further discussion from the couple).
Examples of Circular-style questions.
Circular questioning styles that try to bring out differences include:-
- Across Time: "How might this problem change in the near future … medium future … long term future?"
- Between People: "Who, between the two of you, most believes that John (the husband) is mostly responsible for these arguments?"
- Aspects of a person: "When you are unhappy with what's happening in this relationship, which part is more likely to take over: your rational side, or your emotional side?"
- Between Situations: "Is this relationship happier at home …or on holiday …or elsewhere?"
The Purpose of Circular Questioning.
The purpose of systemic couple therapy is to invite the couple to learn of the connections between their behaviour. Asking about how the relationship system currently operates, how it operated in the past, and how it might operate in the future) gives us information about differences. From this information the couple learns how their relationship system really works – challenging their belief about how it works – thus giving them more options for change. It can give the couple-who-is-waiting-for-their-partner-to-change something to think about their own part in the relationship… that both partners are involved in relationship-conflicts (the approach can challenge the position of "it's all his/her fault"). When we're given the power to change ourselves we're more likely to make a change than to be waiting for our partner to change on our behalf. Circular questioning is at the core of systemic therapy and the systemic approach can be used within different therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt etc).

Risks and causes of oesophageal cancer
This page is about risk factors for cancer of the food pipe (oesophageal cancer). You can find the following information
Oesophageal cancer risks and causes
Cancer of the food pipe (oesophagus) is more common in older people. More than 8 out of 10 oesophageal cancers (80%) are diagnosed in people aged 60 or over. It is more common in men than in women.
Alcohol and tobacco
Smoking tobacco and drinking a lot of alcohol are some of the main risk factors for oesophageal cancer. Your risk increases the longer you smoke.
Drinking alcohol increases the risk of squamous cell cancer of the oesophagus. If you smoke and regularly drink more than the recommended limit, your risk is much greater. Your risk gradually reduces after you stop smoking or drinking.
Chewing tobacco, snuff and betel quid (also called paan or pan) also increases your risk of cancer of the oesophagus.
Other risk factors
Other risk factors for oesophageal cancer include Barrett's oesophagus and long term acid reflux, being very overweight, a high intake of red and processed meat, and some rare medical conditions.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the about oesophageal cancer section.
Oesophageal cancer (cancer of the food pipe) has become more common in the last 40 years in the UK. It is the 13th most common cancer in adults, with around 8,300 cases diagnosed each year in the UK. Oesophageal cancer is about twice as common in men as in women.
As with most cancers, cancer of the oesophagus is more common in older people. More than 8 out of 10 cases (80%) are diagnosed in people aged 60 or over. Most cases of oesophageal cancer in the UK can be linked to lifestyle and environmental factors.
Smoking tobacco and drinking a lot of alcohol are some of the main risk factors for oesophageal cancer. Cigarettes contain nitrosamines and other chemicals that increase the risk of cancer. Pipe smoking also increases the risk of oesophageal cancer. When you smoke, you always swallow some of the smoke as well as breathing it into your lungs.
Drinking alcohol increases the risk of one type of oesophageal cancer – squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Smoking increases the risk of the 2 main types of oesophageal cancer – SCC and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Your risk increases the longer you smoke.
If you smoke and regularly drink more than the recommended limit (3 units of alcohol a day for men and 2 units for women), your risk of squamous cell carcinoma is greater. The combined risk is greater than the risk of just smoking plus the risk of just drinking. But your risk gradually reduces after you stop smoking or drinking.
Chewing tobacco, snuff or betel quid (also called paan or pan) also increases your risk of cancer of the oesophagus.
Obesity means being very overweight. Body mass index (BMI) is a simple way of classifying whether people are the right weight. It looks at weight compared to height. Obesity is when a person has a BMI of 30 or higher. Every 5 unit increase in BMI (for example a BMI of 25 to a BMI of 30) increases the risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus by more than half.
A Cancer Research UK study estimated that being overweight and obesity causes more than 1 in 4 oesophageal cancers in men and more than 1 in 10 in women. This may be because people who are obese are more likely to suffer from acid reflux and this is a risk factor for oesophageal cancer in itself. The acid coming back up from the stomach irritates the lining of the oesophagus and over a long period of time can cause cell changes leading to Barrett's oesophagus.
A diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables may reduce the risk of oesophageal cancer. This may be because these foods contain antioxidants including vitamins A, C and E, and folate. One study has estimated that more than 4 in 10 cases of oesophageal cancer in the UK could be prevented if people ate the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
Eating a lot of red or processed meat may increase your risk of oesophageal cancer. Some studies have shown that a high intake of meat which is barbecued, fried or roasted at high temperatures is linked to a higher risk of oesophageal cancer. These methods of cooking cause higher levels of chemicals called heterocyclic amines in food, and these chemicals may increase cancer risk.
Drinking very hot drinks may increase your risk of oesophageal cancer. The size of the risk increase varies in different studies. But many studies show between double and quadruple the risk in people who drink beverages hot or very hot. Hot drinks may damage the lining of the oesophagus, but this is difficult to prove.
Cancer of the oesophagus is more common in southern and eastern Africa and eastern Asia. It may be that the different diets eaten in these parts of the world increases the risk. For example traditional Asian pickled vegetables might increase the risk of oesophageal cancer. And some African diets may be low in fruit and vegetables. Some environmental factors may also be involved.
There are some other conditions that we know increase oesophageal cancer risk. These are
- Barrett's oesophagus
- Achalasia – a condition causing problems with the valve between the oesophagus and stomach
- Tylosis – a rare skin condition
- Plummer-Vinson syndrome – a condition causing difficulty swallowing
Barrett's oesophagus
Barrett's oesophagus means that the cells lining the oesophagus have become abnormal. This can happen due to long term acid indigestion (acid reflux). The stomach acid comes back up into the oesophagus and irritates the lining. However not everyone with Barrett's oesophagus have acid reflux symptoms.
People who have symptoms of acid reflux every week or more have around 5 times the risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus compared to people who have symptoms less often or who do not have reflux. People with Barrett's oesophagus may be around 11 times more likely than the general population to develop adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus.
Remember that the overall risk to any person of getting oesophageal cancer is quite small. The risk for adenocarcinoma with Barrett's oesophagus may be around 11 times higher, but this is still a small risk. It is thought that 1 out of every 860 people with Barrett's oesophagus will go on to develop oesophageal adenocarcinoma each year.
Achalasia is a condition where the valve between your stomach and oesophagus (cardiac sphincter) does not relax properly. This valve prevents food and liquid backing up into the oesophagus. So with achalasia, the lower part of the oesophagus becomes stretched and food gets stuck there. Men with achalasia have an 8 to 16 times higher risk of both main types of oesophageal cancer compared to the general population. Women with achalasia have a 20 times higher risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. But no increase in the risk of squamous cell oesophageal cancer.
Tylosis is an extremely rare inherited skin condition. The skin grows much too thick on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. People who develop symptoms between age 5 and 15 (Tylosis A) are at a greatly increased risk of squamous cell oesophageal cancer.
Plummer Vinson syndrome
This is a rare condition. People with Plummer Vinson syndrome have anaemia (low red blood cells) due to a lack of iron. They also develop small, thin growths of tissue which block part of their food pipe, making swallowing difficult. Plummer Vinson syndrome has been linked to an increased risk of squamous cell oesophageal cancer.
There is very little research into how occupation is related to the risk of oesophageal cancer. And it is often difficult to separate the effects of occupational exposures from other lifestyle factors. But a few studies show that workers exposed for long periods of time to tetrachloroethylene (a chemical used in dry cleaning and metal degreasing), soot or working in rubber production have an increased risk of oesophageal cancer.
Helicobacter pylori (H Pylori) is a bacteria that causes stomach ulcers and can cause stomach cancer. Researchers have found that certain strains of H Pylori may protect against adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. This may be because H pylori seems to reduce the risk of Barrett's oesophagus.
People who have had radiotherapy for previous cancers (including cancers of the breast, lung, oropharynx, larynx and Hodgkin lymphoma) have an increased risk of oesophageal cancer. The risk of developing oesophageal cancer in the general population is quite small so this increase in risk is still small. Radiotherapy after a mastectomy for breast cancer seems to increase the risk more than radiotherapy after lumpectomy. The risk to you from your primary cancer if you don't have radiotherapy is much higher than the risk of developing oesophageal cancer if you do have radiotherapy.
Bisphosphonates are drugs used to strengthen bones, often in people with bone thinning (osteoporosis), myeloma or cancer which has spread to the bones. Some studies have shown an increase in risk of oesophageal cancer in patients who take oral bisphosphonates. But other studies have not found this link. And so research into this is ongoing.
A type of study called a meta analysis combines the results of several individual studies looking into a particular topic. This is more reliable than the results of a single study. Meta analyses have looked at the links between oesophageal cancer risk and several types of drugs. Some of these are described below.
Women who have ever taken hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the menopause seem to have a lower risk of oesophageal cancer compared with women who have never taken HRT. But there is some evidence that women taking oestrogen only HRT are more likely to have reflux, which has been linked to an increased risk of oesophageal cancer.
People who take drugs to lower cholesterol in the blood (statins) also seem to have a lower risk of oesophageal cancer compared with people who do not take statins.
People who take aspirin or other non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (such as Ibuprofen) seem to have a lower risk of oesophageal cancer. These drugs might also reduce the risk of oesophageal cancer in people with Barrett's oesophagus.
Remember that these drugs can be dangerous because they can irritate the stomach lining and cause bleeding. You should not start to take aspirin or other anti inflammatory drugs without checking with your doctor first.
Some studies have shown a higher risk of oesophageal cancer in people who have poor oral hygiene or symptoms of oral disease, such as tooth loss or decay. But these findings are based on small numbers and so the evidence is not clear yet. Tooth loss can sometimes be due to poor diet or long term infection of the gums, and these factors may possibly increase the risk of oesophageal cancer too. Tooth loss may also cause problems with chewing, so larger pieces of food are swallowed which may irritate the oesophagus.
The human papilloma virus (HPV) may increase the risk of squamous cell oesophageal cancer. DNA from the human papilloma virus has been found in around a third of these types of cancer. Researchers continue to look into this to find out more about this link.
There are many different types of human papilloma virus. It is a common virus, with most people having it at some point in their lives. For most people the virus doesn't cause any symptoms and goes away on its own. But persistent infection with some types of HPV have been linked with a few other cancers including cervical cancer, anal cancer and some head and neck cancers.

Dems vote prove economic disdain

To The Editor: The Club for Growth ratings for the first session of the 110th Congress are in. On an economic growth scale of 0 to 100, with the score of 100 indicating the highest support for pro-growth economic policies, the average Republican score for 2007 was 68 percent for the Senate and 72 percent for the House. In contrast, the average Democratic score was 9 percent in the Senate and 8 for the House.
The highest score for a Democrat was 29 percent while no fewer than four Republicans rated 100 percent. Our Sens. Burr and Dole registered 97 and 82 percent , respectively.
What was our own Blue Dog Democrats contribution to the Democratic average? The answer: 2 percent. I guess that big-time spending must be one of those Mountain Values. Heath Shuler seems never to have seen a spending or tax bill he couldnt support. Ironically, his director, Speaker Pelosi had a score of 21 percent.
This was just a practice session for when we get Barack as president with a filibuster proof, all Democratic Congress. Can you say the second coming of Carter malaise?

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Pinch hitter John Gatlin's single into short right field over a pulled-in, five-man infield in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Mississippi a 2-1 victory over Texas Tech in a College World Series elimination game Tuesday.
The exciting finish came after Texas Tech had tied it in the top of the ninth.
Ole Miss (47-20) plays TCU or Virginia Thursday. The Red Raiders (45-20) went 0-2 in their first CWS.
Ole Miss won after Colby Bortles walked with one out. Brantley Bell hit a comebacker to Cameron Smith, who tried to force out Bortles at second. But he threw high into center field, allowing Bortles to go to third.
Dominic Moreno came on to face Gatlin, with Texas Tech shifting an extra player to the left side of the infield and going with only two outfielders. Gatlin punched a 1-2 pitch over second base, and the celebration was on.

CBS late night host David Letterman announced that he's retiring in 2015. He shared the news with his audience during a taping that's scheduled to air Thursday night. The Late Show with David Letterman, home of Top Ten Lists and Stupid Pet Tricks, has been on CBS since 1992. Before that, Letterman hosted Late Night on NBC.
CBS is expected to release a statement before tonight's program. The show's bassist, Mike Mills, broke the news on Twitter. --Jordan Valinsky
Dave just announced his retirement #2015 #muchlovedave
— Mike Mills (@m_millsey) April 3, 2014
UPDATE: Here's how Letterman broke the news to his audience: "The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years... and I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring.'"
"What this means now is that Paul and I can be married," he added, referring to his longtime bandleader.
And here's the statement from Moonves: "When Dave decided on a one-year extension for his most recent contract, we knew this day was getting closer, but that doesn't make the moment any less poignant for us... There is only one David Letterman. His greatness will always be remembered here, and he will certainly sit among the pantheon of this business."
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said that looking ahead to the general election, he will not self-fund his campaign, instead creating a "world-class finance organization."
The campaign is expected to cost more than $1 billion, and Trump said Wednesday he does plan on "putting up" some money, The Wall Street Journal reports. By the end of March, Trump's campaign had spent $47 million, with $36 million coming from Trump. Two advisers told WSJ he plans on tapping into supporters who do not regularly give to the Republican Party, and an aide said he is starting to work with the Republican National Committee to develop a joint fundraising agreement. He also plans on helping the RNC raise money for other candidates through fundraising events and direct mail.
Throughout his campaign, Trump touted the fact that he was not accepting money from wealthy donors or super PACs. "This is one more example that voters can't take Donald Trump at his word," Democratic National Committee Communications Director Luis Miranda said. "He'll say anything to get elected, so long as it personally benefits him." Trump's website features a prominent "donate" button, and proceeds from items sold in his online store go towards his candidacy. Trump has already raised $12 million from supporters, with most donations of $200 or less, WSJ reports. Catherine Garcia
Automakers in the United States are recalling an additional 35 to 40 million air bag inflators manufactured by Takata, the company and U.S. Transportation Department said Wednesday.
Already, 28.8 million inflators assembled by Takata have been recalled to fix a defect that can cause air bags to explode during accidents, sending shrapnel through the air. The new recalls will be prioritized by age and risk of exposure to high humidity, conditions that affect the inflators, Reuters reports. There have been 11 deaths and about 100 injuries linked to the defective parts, and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator Mark Rosekind said this is "the largest recall in American history." Catherine Garcia
On Wednesday, the Justice Department sent officials in North Carolina a letter warning them that a new law requiring people who are transgender to use bathrooms that correspond with the gender they were born with violates federal civil rights law.
The letter, sent by the head of the department's civil rights division, states the law also violates Title IX, and the state could lose billions in federal education funding, The Charlotte Observer reports. Gov. Pat McCrory (R) called the letter "Washington overreach like we've never seen in our lifetime," but opponents like Democratic Rep. Chris Sgro said the letter confirms the bill "is deeply discriminatory, violates civil rights law, and needs to be repealed as soon as possible."
State officials have until Monday to respond "by confirming that the state will not comply with or implement" the law. Catherine Garcia
George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush will not weigh in on the 2016 election, people close to the former presidents told The Texas Tribune Wednesday.
The elder Bush has endorsed every Republican nominee in the last five election cycles, including political rival Bob Dole in 1996, and supported his son Jeb Bush before he dropped out of the race in February. His spokesman, Jim McGrath, said Bush 41 does not plan on endorsing presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, and "at age 91, President Bush is retired from politics. He came out of retirement to do a few things for Jeb, but those were the exceptions that proved the rule."
Bush 43's personal aide, Freddy Ford, told the Tribune he "does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign." Neither have said anything publicly against Trump, although George W. Bush got in a veiled jab while campaigning for his brother, telling an audience that "the strongest person in the world usually isn't the loudest one in the room." Catherine Garcia
Update 5:35 p.m.: John Kasich formally announced his exit from the 2016 race Wednesday, telling a roomful of supporters and press that he was suspending his campaign. He thanked his family, volunteers, and supporters for being part of "something bigger" than themselves, and told stories of some of the most meaningful interactions he'd had with voters on the campaign trail. He did not mention Donald Trump, an endorsement, or the general election at all, simply thanking the people of Ohio for "the greatest professional experience of my lifetime." He closed his speech on a hopeful note: "As I suspend my campaign today, I have faith ... the Lord will show me the way forward and fulfill the purpose of my life."
Ohio Gov. John Kasich will announce at a Wednesday evening press conference in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, that he is suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, The Associated Press reports. Kasich was initially scheduled to do a press conference at the Dulles airport in Virginia, but announced Wednesday morning that he would not be leaving Ohio after all. If the governor does drop out, that would leave Donald Trump as the only remaining Republican presidential candidate. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dropped out of the race Tuesday night after Trump's win in Indiana all but ensured the mogul would win the nomination. Becca Stanek
It looks as though before Wednesday's end, America will know its final 2016 face-off: Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. Yes, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is technically still in the GOP race, but he is widely expected to drop his bid Wednesday in a 5 p.m. EDT speech, and while Bernie Sanders is remaining defiant following his surprise win in the Democratic Indiana primary, his odds still aren't great to defeat Clinton. The math dictates we're all but guaranteed a Trump-Clinton face-off — and needless to say, Hillary Clinton is ready for the challenge.
Team Clinton wasted no time capitalizing on all the #NeverTrump vitriol that's been launched at the mogul from within his own party, releasing an ad Wednesday that is a brutal compilation of sound bites from GOP leaders:
"President Trump" is a dangerous proposition.
Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio agree.https://t.co/fUkISvgaXC

By the time this is all over, America might need some therapy, too. Kimberly Alters
President Obama vouched for the safety of filtered Flint water Wednesday by symbolically drinking a glass that had been properly treated for consumption. "If you're using a filter ... then Flint water at this point is drinkable," Obama said.

The president landed in Flint, Michigan on Wednesday for his first visit to the city since the water became contaminated with dangerously high levels of lead after Flint's government, under a state-appointed emergency manager, switched water sources to save money.
Obama will also meet with officials, community leaders, 8-year-old "Little Miss Flint," and Gov. Rick Snyder (R), who has been criticized for his handling of the crisis. "It's just breathtaking [Obama] would be here to stop off and see about little old Flint," one resident told The Detroit Free Press. "I just wanted to be here and be a part of it." Jeva Lange

The reaction is partisan from U..S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Peoria) to the beheading of American journalist James Foley.
Schock says the ISIS crisis is "emblematic" of a failed foreign policy" and shows the president's strategy to "lead from behind." And, he says, the U.S. is leaving forces behind.
Durbin is more supportive of the administration. "We need to work to bring whoever was responsible for this to justice – but this is a war, an Iraqi war, that can only be won by Iraqis. We can help, but they have to show the leadership and bring the troops."
Durbin's said this before – how will this be different? "ISIS advanced quickly.. It clearly had more resources and more power than anticipated, " he says. "Our military advisors are helping the Iraqi army get in place and defend territory. Our air support is helping them as well."

California-based photographer Anton Orlov made a remarkable find when browsing in an antique shop – an old French camera containing original negatives from the First World War.
The stereoscopic camera, called a Jumelle Bellieni, caught Anton's immediate attention from amongst the dozens of other 19th century cameras on display in the cluttered shop. When he bought the camera and got it home, he set about cleaning off a century's worth of dust and grime from the outer case. He then slid off the back of the camera to reveal it's inner workings. On his blog, he described the moment when "things got incredibly interesting,"
"Inside each film chamber I found a stack of neat little glass plate holders (12 total). While 4 of them were empty the rest contained the original thin plates of glass. The last thing that I ever expected to find though were negative images on those plates!"
Intrigued by the images, he scanned them and was amazed to discover that they dated back to the First World War and were taken somewhere in France. The scenes show French soldiers posing amongst the devastated landscapes and detritus of war:
Anton, who runs The Photo Palace Bus – a travelling darkroom dedicated to traditional photography, has posted more images and details of his find on his blog here.

- "Now ladies and gentlemen, this is your moment! Please, don't make me ruin all the great work your plastic surgeons have been doing."
- ―Michael
The Jewel Store Job is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V. This is the first heist mission in the game that protagonists Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton do.
In order to perform the heist, Michael must perform a couple of side-missions (Heist Setups) to get the necessary equipment. The preparation missions varies based on the chosen approach in Casing the Jewel Store.
Only one preparation mission, Carbine Rifles has to be performed, namely stealing a set of carbine rifles from one of the LSPD's tactical team vans.
Two preparation missions have to be performed:
- The first one, Bugstars Equipment, involves stealing a van from the Bugstars company.
- The second, BZ Gas Grenades involves stealing gas grenades from a van cruising around the city.
Depending on the chosen approach in Casing the Jewel Store, the start of the mission will play in either of two ways :
Video walkthrough here.
Franklin drives Michael, the driver and the gunman to the store in a van. Donning helmets, they will enter and tell the hostages to get down. While the gunman holds the hostages, Michael and the driver start ransacking the store while Franklin waits outside with the bikes. The amount of time available before the alarm starts will depend on the picked hacker, but since the gold medal requires the player to steal the jewelry within 50 seconds, any of them will do.
Video walkthrough here.
Driving from the garment factory in a Primo, Michael will drop Franklin at the construction site while the driver and gunman park the Bugstars van in front of the jewel store. Taking control of Franklin, the player must traverse the roofs from around the block and use the vantage point from the recon mission, throw a can of gas in the air vent. The gas will be pumped into the store, knocking out all inside.
Afterwards, Michael and the driver and gunman will enter and start ransacking the store while Franklin goes to get the bikes. The amount of time available before the alarm starts will depend on the picked hacker, but since the gold medal requires the player to steal the jewelry within 50 seconds, any of them will do.
Both approaches lead to the same escape. Once the raid has been done, Franklin escapes on bike with the driver and gunman. The available motorcycles will depent on the picked driver :
- Eddie Toh : Maibatsu Sanchez
- Karim Denz : Pegassi Bati 801RR (If Norm was chosen as the gunmen, after he falls off his bike Karim stops for a few seconds in the tunnels not knowing which way to go.)
If a low skilled gunmen is chosen, then he, along with his bag of jewels, will fall off his bike at the beginning of the tunnel. If the player picks up the bag, the take will not change but if he doesn't, the player loses a significant amount of the take.The player will pay a casualty expense for the death of the gunman. But if a high skilled gunman is chosen, none of this happens.
Using the city sewers to evade the police, the trio eventually ends up at the Los Santos River into a pack of cops. While the Sanchez seem to be the obvious choice for their speed in the tunnels' mud, there is no downside in picking the Bati 801s in terms actual mission outcome. In the meantime, Michael and the hacker went to get the delivery truck and use it to crash the cops out of the way.
Once the police have been lost, the bike are loaded onto the truck and are driven to Lester's lockup where the crew parts ways. The maximum take for the mission is $4,946,153 if the player smashes all 20 displays and chooses a good gunman (for the smart approach) or a good driver (for the loud approach). $2,500,000 will then go to Martin Madrazo while the rest gets split between the crew.
Mission Objectives
Loud Approach
- Go to Vangelico Jewel Store.
- Break the glass cabinets and steal at least $3,300,000.

- Follow your crew through the sewers.
- Take out the police cars and protect your crew.
- Rendezvous with your crew.
- Go to Lester.
Smart Approach
- Go to Vangelico Jewel Store.
- Climb to the roof of the jewel store.
- Throw the Tear Gas on the ventilation system.
- Break the glass cabinets and steal at least $3,300,000.
- Follow your crew into the sewers.
- (Optional) Pick up the dropped bag. (Only if you selected a bad gunman)
- Follow your crew through the sewers.
- Take out the police cars and protect your crew.
- Rendezvous with your crew.
- Go to Lester.
Gold Medal Objectives
Loud and Smart approaches
- Quick Grab - Steal the jewelry within 50 seconds.
- Protégé Protected - Protect Franklin during the LS River chase.
- Clean Sweep - Steal the jewelry from all 20 glass cabinets.
Los Santos Meteor Newspaper
Loud Approach
"Investigating officers have uncovered a new lead into a daytime robbery at exclusive Rockford Hills jewel store Vangelico. It is throught that the guns used in the raid on the store were the same carbine rifles stolen from a LSPD swat van earlier this week. The criminals hacked into the store's security network and disabled the alarm system, while they held customers and staff hostage, and emptied cabinets of jewelry worth millions of dollars."
Smart Approach
"The police have turned up new leads in their investigation into the recent robbery of Vangelico jewelers in Rockford Hills. They believe the crime was tied to an attack on a Humane Labs and Research shipment carrying BZ gas. Police also believe the van used by the robbers was recently stolen from a Bugstar Pest Control Warehouse in South Los Santos. Despite making these connections, investigators are no closer to finding the suspects who cleaned out the store for millions of dollars of jewels, escaped on motorcycles, and evaded police in the LS River. The police are not yet close to making an arrest."
Lifeinvader Posts
- Lester Crest - "Nice job. A real gem, you might say! Just like the good old days."
Bleeter Posts
- @sillyjilly28 - "To the guys who robbed the Vangelico store on Portola Drive i'll happily swap an alibi for a diamond :)"
- @cinncinati_philpp - "no way! got involved in a reallife jewelry heist on portola drive! Guy has a gun on me and tell me to forget a thousand things a day or something. Craziest vacation EVER!"
Loud and Dumb
- The mission first appeared in a scene in the first trailer. It was later depicted in an artwork, almost a year after. It was also the first confirmed mission of Grand Theft Auto V.
- When replaying the mission the "smart" way, when Franklin throws the knockout gas into the vent, even if it does make it to the vent, it'll fail the mission saying the cops "were alerted". This is because the BZ Gas Grenades are the only ones scripted to work in the mission. Any other kind will result in failure.
- Therefore, if you want to replay the mission to get 100%, you'll need to choose the "loud" way.
- This mission is one of the missions other than the assassination missions that affects the Stock Market, as soon as the mission finished, Vangelico stock goes down to the bottom but by the end of the story they got around 15% return percentage, not bad if you wanted to have extra money.
- The mission, especially in the loud and dumb method, seems to be loosely inspired in the opening scene of the 1987 film Beverly Hills Cop 2, were a crew of robbers score a jewelry store, doing the same motions as breaking the glass pannels and being timed to pick up the jewels.
- In the beta trailer, the gas masks were yellow and covered only the mouth.
- Also in the beta, balaclavas were used in the loud and dumb option but motorbike helmets were used in the final version.
- The escape route seems to be loosely based in the 2003 film The Italian Job, as the crew escape through the sewers on Mini Coopers, chased by bikers and exiting through the flood control.
- New Red Dead Redemption copies are sold with GTA V promotional cards, with an image of the mission occurring.
- In the debut trailer, Michael and his team were seen entering the store "loud and dumb" with the pest control suits on. But in the gameplay video they were seen entering "smart".
- The pest control outfits will not be the only outfit that's available during the mission. As in the gameplay trailer, Michael and his men were also seen entering the store "loud and dumb" while wearing dress suits and motorbike helmets.
- On the corkboard in the gameplay trailer, a to-do list showed 3 out of the 5 tasks were complete, which were Evaluate The Security, Photograph The Interior and lastly, decide which approach the men wanted to go on.
- In the smart control, Michael and his team are with the Bugstars Burrito, but in the loud and dumb control they were seen with a different Burrito.
- In the version of the mission seen in the first trailer, Michael is seen completing the job with Gustavo Mota and another unknown crew member. It is possible that this crew member is meant to represent Packie due to their similar hairstyles but Rockstar didn't want to ruin the surprise of being able to recruit him so early on.
- You cannot shoot the officer on the ground due to him being an important character in the first cutscene of Mr. Philips. However you can kill him by running him over.
- This mission was going to be named Pest Control in the beta.
- After the crew has come out of the tunnel, it would be technically impossible for Michael and the Police officers to have been in that position unless they had either reversed or driven into the river from the sides.
- After the crew loads the bikes into the truck, Michael has to drive the truck to the "lock up" location. If Michael (the player) damages the truck, the back door will open and the player will notice that Franklin and the crew are not actually inside, yet their dialogue is heard, as they simply spawn at the lock up in the cutscene.
- The truck that Michael is in seems to disable and make cop cars smoke in just one hit.
- This is the only heist in the game that does not require any killing unless any of the cops hit by the truck received fatal injuries.
- If the player chooses "Loud and Dumb", they will have to steal guns from the LSPD. But if the player chooses the "Smart" way, they will already have silenced Assault Rifles.
- The screenshot on the Rockstar Social Club shows Michael wearing his default gray suit with gloves and a balaclava for the loud option.

Surprise? Not really, many colleges and universities in the Philippines have added BSN into the curriculum to meet the demands for nurses abroad. Nursing schools were even setup just to meet the growing influx of people who want to take up nursing. It is quite obvious that a BSN college degree is a ticket abroad for some people. The sad thing about the growing number of nursing students in the country is that some of them don't have a passion for the profession.
2. Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM)
The tourism and hospitality industry is booming as more hotels have been built while the Tourism Department has intensified their campaign to bring more foreign tourists to the country. On the other hand, people take up BSHRM in the hopes of working abroad particularly in five-star hotels in the Middle East and luxury cruise ships in the Caribbean.
3. Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS)
The growth of the IT industry has increased the demands for computer technicians and computer programmers to work on various projects from website development to software programming. Foreign investments also brought in call centers and other business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.
4. Bachelor of Science in Criminology (Criminology)
It is always a dream by some people to become a policeman someday. There have been a growing number of Criminology students because the government has raised the police force's basic salary. In fact, a policeman has bigger salary than a public teacher. Though they always put their life in jeopardy, they also have huge benefits too!
5. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT)
We always use the Internet from Facebook to Youtube. This is a no-brainer for some who want to pursue a college education that uses the computer quite a lot. The expansion of the IT sector has brought more foreign companies that set up call centers, online publishing, and web design firms. Some students, who are undecided on which college degree they want to take up, usually pick BSIT before moving on to their actual preference.
6. Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA)
Big companies and small businesses alike deal with money all the time. When there is money involved, there is always an accountant. Aside from that, people take up BSA to supplement their business degrees. It would be an achievement for some people if they become a certified public accountant (CPA) and completing their college education.
7. Bachelor of Science in Business Management (BSBM)
Want to become a business manager or run your own business? Take up business management college courses to prepare you for that.
8. Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (BSEEd)
As more and more children are going to public schools, there is now an increasing demand for elementary school teachers. Becoming a teacher can also be a ticket to go abroad and even immigrate to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
9. Bachelor of Science in English Education (BSEd-English)
Educational tourism has enabled the growth of English language schools that cater to foreigners, mostly Koreans, who want to learn the English language here in the Philippines.
10. Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSECE)
The telecommunications industry is in need of BSECE graduates to help them manage their expanding infrastructure. Mobile phone providers have installed more and more cell sites to broaden their reach and Internet service providers have offered mobile Internet. These developments only mean that there are more job opportunities for BSECE graduates.

In Edinburgh, layers of history overlap to create a charming town that remains refreshingly modern. Edinburgh attractions include a medieval castle that sits atop a volcanic cliff, and the so-called New Town neighborhood, which sports old-fashioned Georgian architecture. Still, the present is as close as the new Scottish Parliament Building or the latest styles at High Street shops. "Scotia's darling seat" is a walking town, so Edinburgh tourists can let their own two feet take them across centuries from the longstanding hills of Arthur's Seat to an avant-garde Fringe Festival performance.
Flights to Edinburgh touch down at Edinburgh Airport, about 25 minutes outside of town.

Currently viewing the tag: "Commencement"
With fewer than ten days remaining until Commencement, the needed structures are starting to appear. I took a walk through the heart of the University campus this morning and found the platform and tent that will be used for the main graduation ceremony that precedes Fletcher's event for the conferring of diplomas.
All those fences will come down and chairs will be set up on the grass for the thousands of guests who attend.
We've enjoyed fantastic weather lately and the warm temperatures have coaxed into bloom the flowers and trees that are running a little behind schedule, due to our crazy winter.
And there's a new statue of Jumbo, the Tufts mascot, to greet Commencement guests, too.
The Fletcher exam period ended yesterday, and the Hall of Flags is nearly deserted this morning. Some students are still completing research papers and may also have exams at other schools where they have cross-registered for classes. But most first-year students are off to internships and second-year students are starting their "Dis-Orientation" week today. Dis-Orientation is the official/unofficial student-organized week of social events that is the closing bracket on the Fletcher experience that began with Orientation at the start of their studies.
End of the week after Commencement
By Jessica Daniels On May 23, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
Despite the overall post-Commencement feel that has fallen upon Fletcher this week, I've been fortunate to connect with a few students as they spent their last minutes here before taking off for new adventures. Of those, several are days away from a flight to a distant locale. Others won't start said adventures until later in the summer, giving them a nice hiatus — free of both coursework and career searching. And some will be pursuing adventures in the Boston area, meaning we don't need to say farewell yet.
Nonetheless, the graduation tents have been dismantled one-by-one, and the first of the summer construction teams have moved in. Fletcher will undergo some relatively minor repairs and renovation, but even minor repairs mean that the Office of Career Services is currently working out of Blakeley Hall.
Into the mix came this sweet photo of Dean Stavridis, Symeon Tegos, and Erietta (tiniest graduate) Tegos. Symeon tells me that Erietta is only two and a half months old. (Aww! So sweet!) Her dad was in the one-year MA program, surely making this a year to remember for their family. In fact, in an email to Dean Stavridis that circled around to me, Symeon wrote:
This was an incredible year. The birth of my daughter changed me in ways I considered impossible only weeks ago, while the exposure to Fletcher had an unexpected profound effect on me. I have to express my gratitude for this amazing experience. Soon I will be heading back home where I will do my best to give back what I so generously received. I will never forget Fletcher and your example.
Commencement weekend round-up
By Jessica Daniels On May 19, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni, Our Students
I spent a lot of time on campus this weekend, enjoying Commencement and Reunion activities. On Saturday, I turned up at about 11:00 and greeted a few students who were waiting for the Class Day activities to begin. I was sorry not to join them for the day's speakers, but I was on my way to a panel on life and careers after Fletcher, offered and attended by alumni from the classes of 1989, 1994, and 1999. I had gone (accompanied by my husband, Paul) to see our friend Charlie Scott F'94, who has recently reinvented himself as the Family Adventure Guy. As it turns out, the panel discussion featured not only his presentation, but also those of three other alums, including the ambassador to the U.S. from Thailand. (Ambassador Isarabhakdi said he had wanted to attend Fletcher since he was a young teen. That's direction!) The panel took place on the 7th floor of the Cabot Intercultural Center (one of three attached Fletcher buildings). The University is on a hill, giving us a nice view from the 7th floor of both the campus and the city beyond.
All the different Commencement venues were set and ready for events, including the thousands of chairs on the quad.
The next day was the main event. I came up to campus at about 10:45, by which time Fletcher students were streaming across the street from the all-University ceremony (where, the dean noted, they were a noisy bunch — see photo #19 in the photo gallery) to the Fletcher graduation. At about 11:10, two things were going on. First, a photographer was attempting to wrangle the faculty into a shot.
At the same time, the Registrar's staff (and any of us who had offered to help) started herding the graduates into Blakeley Hall courtyard, where they would line up for their procession.
Eventually, everyone was in the graduation tent, and Dean Stavridis could kick off the ceremony.
Prof. Moomaw, who yesterday became professor emeritus, reflected on his career and experience at Fletcher.
And then came the student speakers, Amy
and Bob
Both of their speeches were terrific, but Amy scored points with me by mentioning the Admissions Blog! By the end of the ceremony yesterday, speakers had, interestingly, quoted Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, and William Faulkner — not the usual cast of characters for a Fletcher graduation.
Finally, degrees were awarded. Some students invited their children to join them. The award for tiniest diploma recipient (in academic regalia) goes to this tiny tot:
And then it was done! For me, Commencement is an opportunity to celebrate students I have come to know, as well as remind myself of people with whom I was in contact before they enrolled. (Ohhhh! I interviewed her, but totally forgot she was in this class….) For the 310 students who graduated, it was two beautiful blue-skied days, and many, many happy family members. A day for all to remember!
One positive by-product of our cool spring (others call it a long winter) is the flowering trees that in other years would have been at their peak in April, but are still in full bloom this week. The campus is always lovely for Commencement weekend, but it seems particularly beautiful this year. No matter where graduates and family find themselves, they will be able to enjoy flowering trees, along with Commencement tents.
The lawn beside the President's House:
The courtyard in front of Blakeley Hall (the Fletcher dormitory), where graduating students will gather before starting their Commencement procession:
And Fletcher Field (behind the tennis courts), where graduates will receive their diplomas, after listening to speeches by Dean Stavridis and two of their peers, Amy Tan and Bob Lynch:
I took the photos this morning, before the skies had cleared and the sun came out. Whether nature brings us sun or clouds, we can count on Commencement being a beautiful day.
Tents remain in place around campus, but Fletcher and the rest of Tufts have the yearly post-Commencement underpopulated look. By all accounts, Sunday's ceremony was lovely, and the weather kindly cooperated — sunny all morning, but not too hot. The main Tufts website has photos and a short video to give you a sense of how everything looked.
Sadly, I wasn't able to attend Sunday's ceremony (more on that later this week), but I was at Saturday's Class Day event where a wonderful alumni address was given by Paulo Bilyk F'92. Awards were then distributed, following which we heard from Dean Bosworth, who shared tales from his long career as a diplomat. Dean Bosworth was also honored on Sunday, when he was named Dean Emeritus of the School. Earlier in the day, Fletcher students cheered him when he conferred their degrees at the All-University phase of Commencement.
I ran into a few students this morning, but I think it's fair to say that they have mostly moved on. When the tents come down this week, even Commencement, never mind the spring semester, will seem like a distant memory. Good luck and best wishes, Class of 2013!
(Thank you to University photographers, Kevin Ma and Emily Zilm, whose photos I borrowed.)
Never mind the University's offer of health insurance, retirement funds, or access to the Tufts gym, the most rewarding benefit of working at Fletcher is the opportunity to get to know our fantastic students. Unlike access to the gym, it is a benefit that I take advantage of every day. And that's why the joy that students feel at their own graduation is mixed with a little sadness for me and other members of the Fletcher faculty and staff. It isn't that we'll never hear from these people again — in fact, there are some beloved members of the class of 2008 due back for this weekend's reunion — but the nature of our contact inevitably changes.
Every year, I try to recognize those students who have regularly brightened my day. There's no way to cover the entire list — this is a blog, not an encyclopedic resource — but I'll single out a few groups, not that thanking them is a substitute for seeing them regularly.
For starters, there are the stalwart Admissions Interns who do the widest possible array of substantive and trivial tasks for us, always with good cheer. Farewell and good luck to Katie and (Dear) Ariel! Then there are the students who are selected to serve on the Admissions Committee. Thank you to this year's rock star team of Lily, Bernardo, Felix, Margot, and Hillary (who did double duty as an Admissions Intern, starting her work with us before classes began two years ago). Thanks, too, to Elspeth, a Januarian who did her Admissions Committee service a year ago, but also spent some time with us this spring, turning data messes into beautiful reports. And more thanks to Violet, Juan Sebastian, and Heidi, who participated on the MIB Admissions Committee either this year or last. Finally, thanks and good luck to our wonderful, generous, and dedicated volunteer interviewers.
And, of course, there are dozens of others. There's Patrick, whom I've known seemingly forever. And Maliheh whom I've so enjoyed working with on the blog. And PhD students including Erik, Courtney, and Ethan, all of whom have also supported the work of the Admissions Office. From here, it becomes difficult to isolate individuals, but thanks to the many people whose minute of conversation is well worth stopping for as we cross the Hall of Flags. Or students whose applications I promoted in Admissions Committee meetings, but who don't know that, and also don't know that I watch their progress through Fletcher to be sure they were a good bet. Or students who pepper the Social List with interesting (or "interesting") bits of news, analysis, information, or humor, keeping us informed about students' interests and concerns.
Naturally, I hope that all of these students and all their classmates enjoy their Commencement weekend and bask in the pride of friends and family. But don't forget us after you leave Fletcher! Send a note once in a while. Connect with us via your preferred social medium. Most important: Do great things in your work and community that we hear about in the years to come. We'll miss you, but we wish you all the best!
Commencement, the Fletcher way
By Jessica Daniels On May 16, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Students
For Fletcher students, the graduation ceremony is merely the (almost) final event in a weekend of togetherness. With the soon-to-be graduates only barely recovered from dawn to post-dusk Dis-Orientation activities, Commencement weekend kicks off on Friday (i.e. tomorrow) with breakfast and a graduation rehearsal at 8:00 a.m. The afternoon is unprogrammed (time to take visiting family around town for some sightseeing), but many will meet up again at 6:00 p.m. for a New England clambake, which is also the kick-off event for the Fletcher alumni reunion that runs in parallel this weekend.
Fletcher decided years ago to keep the focus on students during Sunday's graduation ceremony, and a Class Day event was created on the Saturday of Commencement weekend for speeches, presentation of prizes, etc. The speaker for this year's Class Day program will be our own Dean Stephen Bosworth, who is stepping down after more than a decade as dean. I'm sure it will be a bittersweet moment. Lunch will follow.
And then, finally, Sunday arrives. Students will kick off the day with a champagne breakfast, featuring toasts by the students selected by a vote of their peers. Champagne imbibed, students head off to the all-University ceremony (where Fletcher students are well known for their extra loud cheers when their degrees are awarded as a group), followed by the Fletcher ceremony, where each graduating student is handed a diploma by the dean (photos will be taken — smile!). Speeches will be delivered by peer-selected students and the recipient of the Paddock Prize for excellence in teaching, which went this year to Carolyn Gideon.
When the ceremony concludes, everyone works their way over to lunch via many hugs and well-wishes. All in all, a lovely event.
It's a transitional week — no longer the spring semester, but not yet the summer break. Students are either gone (off to interesting internships) or invisible. Among the invisible, many are participating in the Fletcher tradition known as Dis-Orientation. A fitting balance to the Orientation program that starts each academic year, Dis-Orientation is less preparatory and more celebratory. Here's part of the Dis-O line-up, each event coordinated by a different student or team of students:
- Tours: Boston Duck Tour, Freedom Trail Tour
- Downtown outings, including a picnic in the Boston Public Garden, and a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts
- Parties, including a "Stoplight Party" (a party of multiple parties at the Fletcher-student-occupied Green House, Yellow House, and Red House)
- Movies, including (appropriately) The Graduate
- Sports, including a Red Sox Game against the Minnesota Twins
- Exercise, including a bike trip
- Farther-flung outings, including an amusement park
- And many activities ending with -ing: whale watching, clubbing, poker playing, storytelling (organized by our own student blogger, Roxanne), trampolining, and pub crawling.
The week wraps up with a class photo on Friday, after which graduating students will turn their attention to the weekend's Commencement activities. More on that tomorrow.

One LAST last word on Commencement
By Jessica Daniels On May 29, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher
While I get a grip on some catch-up work that needs to be done today, I'll point you toward this nice Commencement wrap-up, which includes the texts of the speeches given by graduating students Bilal Baloch and Sebastián Molano, as well as that of Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who gave the Class Day keynote address.
One last word on Commencement
By Jessica Daniels On May 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
I took yesterday off to bask in the joy of our family's weekend. (Also to scrub the kitchen floor and otherwise clean up from our graduation party on Sunday night.) But though I might be a day late, I wanted to point you to the stories and photos on the Tufts Commencement page. Photo 15 shows the Fletcher crowd, as ever the most jubilant (read: noisy) group of graduates. We all could not have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate. A gift from Mother Nature for a great group of students.
