Thread: SOTD. Sunday 8th Jan 2012.
Good morning!
"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical...It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson
Le Labo Patchouli.
Already past 2 in the afternoon here and I'm heading out for brunch with Sous le Vent (Guerlain). It never ceases to amaze me how this one kick starts the day like a great eau (AdP Colonia, Eau de Guerlain etc) and then cruises into a bouyant but laid back breezy Mediterranean flora vibe with just the right amount of oakmoss to keep it grounded thru the rest of the day. It put's wind in yer sails, or something like that.

Good morning!

finishing off my sample of Montale - Royal Aoud
I'm still not sure if I'm an oud fan, but that kumquat/grapefruit combo makes this one unique. It's definitely growing on me.

Looking at some of your WIP, do you actually render the frame of the bike before the panels and etc?
The latest WIP is going to be pretty much as as you see it. It's an avante-garde sculptural V-twin powered limited production bike as build by Confederate bikes. Typically, I'll only build what shows.
Totally awesome!

Holey crap! I thought it was a photo at first. Beautiful work!

By emphasizing the problem-solving method in the teaching of an experimental unit, it proposes to determine whether homemaking students show greater gains in thinking ability at the end of the school year than non-homemaking students. The investigator proposes to find out if the student taught by techniques of problem-solving forms thinking habits superior to habits formed by those students who have not been taught by this method as extensively as homemaking students.

A new proposal could allow for hunting at night in our area, but some say, this practice could jeopardize the safety of people and endangered species.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission has proposed a new rule that would allow the hunting of feral swine and coyotes at night with lights.
Donna Storie say this practice can harm the Red Wolf population, since they so closely resemble coyotes. A public hearing about the proposal is being held, Wednesday night, at Pitt Community College at 7pm.

High (Professional) Anxiety? Image and Status in Records Management
Pemberton, J. Michael, Records Management Quarterly
Most intelligent people recognize that ignoring serious medical, financial, or emotional problems won't make them "just go away"; action is needed. But judging by the lack of open discussion about image and status in records management, there seem to be otherwise intelligent records managers who must think this problem area will vanish or somehow resolve itself if we just keep quiet about it. Perhaps no one has noticed: silence hasn't helped. The image and status of records management are neither what they should be, what we would want them to be, nor what they could be if we choose to do something about it. This issue's "Perspectives" column attempts to provoke thought about the matter of status with the hope that we might begin to address these continuing concerns in positive and constructive ways.
While image and status are occasionally - if all too rarely - topics at ARMA's annual conference, the records management literature is virtually silent on the subject. Judging by the literature of other information-management fields, image and status concerns provoke considerable discussion, reflection, and calls for action.[1] It is perfectly reasonable for records management to consider - as do many non-information fields[2] - a variety of issues related to status and to examine specific initiatives to enhance their status in society. Some initiatives in that direction are noted here.
What is the difference between "status" and "image"? The term "image" is likely to be more familiar in everyday speech than "status." In our daily lives, we may be concerned with some frequency about our personal image without necessarily relating the concept to our occupational endeavors. Image concerns then can easily be separated from our profession if we personalize it into areas over which we have some individual control (e.g., dress, appearance, manners). While important at a personal level, of course, these image concerns have little or nothing to do with the status of our field. No single person can be responsible for the image of a field or for its status in society.
One of the great movements in contemporary American life is that of self-improvement. Books, non-credit college courses, and itinerant seminars extol their ability to help us become smarter, fitter, happier, wealthier people. The popular press and the less scholarly occupational media intone a steady litany of suggestions:
* Take an image improvement course,
* Lose excess weight and get into shape physically,
* Learn how to listen effectively and become a good conversationalist,
* Take time for others,
* Improve your mind, take some academic courses,
* Learn how to relax and let your intuitive faculty help you,
* Develop new interests and skills, and
* Set personal goals and be self-motivating.[3]
Then, there are those useful, if somewhat trite or cosmetic, suggestions:
* Keep your shoes shined,
* Always give a firm and warm handshake,
* Keep your clothes well pressed and cleaned,
* Dress for the job you want, not the one you have,
* Always be on time for an appointment, and
* Always look people in the eye while speaking to them.
Advice about image can come with a gender spin. Special concerns suggested for the working woman include:
* Don't cry at the office,
* Don't wear mini-skirts,
* No flirting,
* Don't lose your temper,
* No chewing gum, and
* Don't go stockingless in summer or wear sleeveless dresses.[4]
Compared to the issue of status for occupations or professions, discussions of image tend to be: 1) more personalized, 2) reflect current tastes and manner, and 3) are matters about which only individuals can take action. There is less of a serious or scholarly attempt to study "image" than "status."
Occupational fields, however, can project an image. …

Naveen fields Rajya Sabha MPs in Lok Sabha, Assembly polls
Bhubaneswar: BJD leader Naveen Patnaik has fielded at least four Rajya Sabha MPs in Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Odisha even as the party received more than 50,000 applications for the ensuing polls.
Facing problems of plenty, the BJD leader decided to utilise the services of Rajya Sabha MPs as it could not find suitable candidates, a senior BJD leader said.
The Rajya Sabha legislators who have been put to contest by the party are: Dilip Tirkey, Rabi Narayan Mohapatra, Sasahi Bhusan Behera and A U Singhdeo.
While Tirkey is in the fray from Sundergarh Lok Sabha seat, Mohapatra has been given party ticket from Ranpur assembly segment in Nayagarh district.
Both Tirkey and Mohapatra`s term as Rajya Sabha MPs was scheduled to end on April 2, 2018.
Sashi Bhusan Behera, whose Rajya Sabha membership was scheduled to expire on July 1, 2016, will represent BJD from Jaydev assembly segment.
Interestingly, sitting MLA A U Singhdeo, who was elected to Rajya Sabha recently, has been recalled and fielded as a BJD candidate from Bolangir assembly seat.
Singhdeo was asked to join the poll fray even before taking oath as a member of the Upper House of Parliament.
"Singhdeo has been fielded from Bolangir assembly segment. He will resign from Rajya Sabha seat soon," Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said.
Meanwhile, the party has decided to send cine star Anubhav Mohanty to Rajya Sabha against the vacancies to be created in the Upper House.
The sources said Patnaik also plans to accomodate some senior leaders who have been denied party ticket this time in the general elections.
"My party leader has assured me that he will consider my case as a candidate for the Rajya Sabha polls against possible vacancies," senior BJD leader and Sukinda MLA Prafulla Ghadai told reporters.
While announcing the list of candidates this week, Patnaik said, "We have received more than 50,000 applications for BJD candidature from every corner of our state."
The applications were received for 147 Assembly and 21 Parliamentary Constituencies.

"Yosemite National Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Yosemite National Park by acemj
Yosemite National Park Travel Guide: 1,520 reviews and 3,525 photos
I lived in California back in the late '80s and early '90s and never made it to Yosemite, so when my friend Gina and I were trying to decide what to do with a couple extra days on a visit to San Francisco, my vote was solidly for this magnificent park. Our two days here were certainly not enough to get a sense of the whole place, but we were able to see some of the park's highlights . . . and what a highlight reel it is!
Most visitors come and see the Valley Floor, a cavernous shoot of green meadows and splashing water framed by giant walls of granite. At first sight, you'll be knocked back on your heels and speechless. Pictures, in fact, do not come close to conveying the scale of this place. It is simply staggering. The monolithic grandeur of El Capitan and Half Dome must be given the respect of your presence before they reveal themselves to you completely. You must stand beneath them, eyeing a lone tree or a man hiking along a path nearby as a reference point, to truly appreciate their towering, timeless qualities.
I am told that during the peak summer months that the automobiles swarming the Valley Floor can make it resemble Fifth Avenue in New York more than an oasis of natural perfection, but don't let that dissuade you from venturing here. We visited in early June during the week and the crowds were really quite small, the weather brilliant and the sights inspiring. Even during July and August, you can escape the crowds by moving outside of the Valley and into the more remote points in the park.
There are over 760,000 acres to explore here, the vast majority of which remind us of our relative size in this world. We are but a microscopic dot on the map, but spending time in places of such enduring beauty can be nourishing and we often discover strength inside our tiny selves to return to our daily lives as conquerors, or at the very least, as larger men.

Great page. Lots of helpful tips. Well done.
Thanks for the tip on The Bug. I hadn't come across this accomodation option in all of my searching over the last 2 years. Looks like a great place to stay. Great price and good location.
Very informative and useful tips Mark! I especially appreciated your transportation tip since I can barely walk, let alone hike!!
Wow! Hope to visit the park next year. Thanks for your info, tips and links about "when to visit ". The Yosemire Bug seems very pleasant indeed.
Great page! I'm visiting Yosemite in June '06, and I can't wait to get there.
Great page on one of Americas greatest National Parks (and one of my favorites)
Great opening pic ...
great TLs, it's just a wonderful place!
Reading your tips for the second time preparing a different type of trip (backpacking) to Yosemite park.. Don't know if it's a good idea in April; gotta do research.. Thanks for the tips..
Great observations on what to avoid at Yosemite and how to get great shots (and proof with photos). Very true about staying off the valley floor. The only way to really get away from the crowds here is to hike far and high. Gina looks nice btw. ;)

2 Comments | Copyright: India-Forums.com / TellyBuzz
Tellybuzz got in touch with Karishma Tanna to know more about her acting profession and her upcoming movie which is slated to release soon…
How did you bag a role in Grand Masti?
Actually, prior to Grand Masti, I had been shooting with Vivek Oberoi for the movie 'Sher'. Consequently, as Vivek liked my work, he recommended my name to director Indra Kumar for Grand Masti. So, the entire credit goes to Vivek that I'm a part of this big project.
Tell us some about your character in the movie.
Well, my character is named as Unnati, married to Vivek Oberoi. Unnati is a business woman, who is very dominating and has control over her husband. As I'm portrayed as a busy working woman, my husband (Vivek Oberoi) suspects of me having an affair with my colleague.
Where is the entire movie shot?
Half of the movie is shot in Baroda, while the remaining half has been shot in Mumbai itself.
Grand Masti is an adult comedy, which is full of jokes and sexual connotation. Were you comfortable with all the scenes and dialogues?
Since it was an adult comedy, I found the scenes and dialogues too edgy. However, I adjusted to it with the right spirit, and I'm grateful to my co-stars for it. And at the end of the day I'm an actor who has to portray different characters and subject matter for the means of entertainment.
How was it working with all your co-stars?
It was brilliant working with all my co-stars. Yet, I shared the best bond with Vivek Oberoi and Ritesh Deshmukh. We used to have a gala time on the sets, even while we were not shooting. Generally, Riteish is entertaining but when he comes into his mood, he brings all the hilarious elements out and we all would go on a laughter spree.
You stepped into the acting profession at a very young age, has it proved to be an advantage to you?
Yes of course! I have been working in this industry since 10 years. So far throughout my journey, I've learnt a lot, grown as an actor and become more mature. I absolutely agree to it that stepping into the acting profession at an early age has proved to be a boon to me.
You were associated with Balaji Telefilms for a long time. Why are you not seen in any of their shows now?
Well, I haven't got any offers from Balaji Telefilms, lately. Yet, if at all Balaji approaches me for any interesting role, I would certainly take it up. I started my career with a Balaji show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and I'm very grateful to Ekta Kapoor for it. Needless to say, whatever I am today is all because of Ekta.
You possess a stunning height and looks of a model. Why did you not pursue modeling?
I wanted to pursue modeling, but every time I used to plan it, some more exciting projects came my way at the same time, incidentally.
What was the reason to quit your telly-show Baal Veer?
Like I said, I had been shooting for my movie 'Sher' and 'Grand Masti'. As a result, I couldn't manage time for the show and for that reason I had to quit Baal Veer.
After getting into films now, will you continue with your work in television?
Let's see. It depends on how does my filmy career develops.
As 'Grand Masti' is slated to hit the theater soon, are you ready for a crazy laughter riot?

I. Active safety: Numerous assistants on board
Mercedes-Benz pursues a holistic approach in its safety research efforts, which aim to avoid accidents and to reduce the severity of unavoidable accidents under the banner "Real Life Safety". The CLS Shooting Brake features a whole range of systems to further reduce the strain on the driver. These include Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist, plus the LED High Performance headlamps with various light functions.
The CLS Coupé was the first automobile in the world with dynamic LED High Performance headlamps. The innovation was very well received, with 95 percent of all CLS Coupé customers choosing this option. The innovative light system is also available for the CLS Shooting Brake, combining the fascinating near-daylight colour impression of LED technology with the performance, functionality and energy efficiency of the present-day bi-xenon generation. The light system offers the proven Intelligent Light System on the basis of LED technology. The five light functions – country mode, motorway mode, enhanced fog light function, active light function and cornering lights – are geared to typical driving or weather conditions.
In contrast to other vehicles with LED headlamps, this rules out any need for compromises with regard to the functionality and performance of the lights. Other merits of the light technology based on light-emitting diodes are an average LED service life of 10,000 hours – around five times that of a xenon bulb – and the fact that the light from LED headlamps comes closest to daylight. This means that LED light is in keeping with the normal human perception patterns. Studies have shown that the closer the colour of artificial light comes to daylight, the less the strain on the eyes. With a colour temperature of 5500 kelvin, LED light is closer to daylight (6500 K) than xenon light (4200 K). The driver's experience of this effect is that colour impressions at night-time seem close to daylight colours, resulting in a subjective impression of greater brightness on the road.
The light specialists at Mercedes-Benz have also combined LED technology with the innovative Adaptive Highbeam Assist system, leading to a new level of safety at night. The basic principle behind Adaptive Highbeam Assist is as follows: if the system detects an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle in front with its lights on, the system dims the headlamps and continually adjusts the headlamp range in such a way that the cone-shaped beam of headlamp light does not reach these vehicles. There is, in addition, the Night View Assist Plus system as an option.
Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist
In the CLS, proven technologies such as ABS, ESP® and Brake Assist work alongside a dozen assistance systems to help prevent accidents and reduce the severity of unavoidable accidents. These range from drowsiness detection to automatic full brake application on recognising that there is an acute risk of a collision, and from Adaptive Highbeam Assist to traffic sign recognition.
Active Blind Spot Assistwarns the driver when changing lanes if a risk of collision is detected due to another vehicle in the neighbouring lane being in the so-called blind spot of the exterior mirror. If the driver ignores the warning and nevertheless initiates the lane-changing manoeuvre, the Active Blind Spot Assist intervenes. By applying gentle braking force to the wheels on the opposite side of the vehicle, a yaw movement is created which counteracts the collision course.
Active Lane Keeping Assist is also linked up to ESP®. This system kicks into action if the Mercedes vehicle inadvertently drifts over a solid line to the right or left of a lane. In such a case, a warning sign in the instrument cluster and vibration of the steering wheel alert the driver. If the driver does not heed the warning in the case of the solid line, Active Lane Keeping Assist can use the ESP® to gently brake the opposite wheels and thereby prevent the vehicle from crossing the solid line.
Other helpers:
ADAPTIVE BRAKE (standard): This Mercedes-Benz brake system offers assistance functions for greater safety and comfort, such as a HOLD function when waiting at traffic lights, and Hill-Start Assist which can help prevent rolling backwards when moving off on a slope.
Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC: When equipped with this system, the CLS Shooting Brake is not only able to detect parking spaces, but can also help to manoeuvre the vehicle into located spaces. This is possible in combination with the new electro-mechanical Direct-Steer system and a number of ultrasonic sensors. The convenience system performs the following functions: gauging of potential parking spaces according to length and depth up to a vehicle speed of 36 km/h; calculation of an appropriate path into the parking space from the vehicle's current position; operation of the steering to move the vehicle along this parking path. Parking spaces are gauged using two enhanced ultrasonic sensors which are integrated on the right- and left-hand sides in the front bumper.
ATTENTION ASSIST: The high-resolution sensors of this standard-fit system measure more than 70 parameters which are analysed to detect fatigue. This continual monitoring is important in order to recognise the gradual transition from alertness to tiredness and give the driver plenty of warning. Based on a variety of data, ATTENTION ASSIST creates an individual driver profile during the first few minutes of each journey and compares this with sensor data and the driving situation as recognised by the vehicle's electronic control unit. Alongside values such as the steering behaviour of the driver, the Mercedes-Benz system also measures driving conditions such as speed, longitudinal/lateral acceleration, indicator and pedal usage, as well as external factors such as the unevenness of the roads, for example.
Brake Assist PLUS: This system is able to recognise an impending rear-end collision using radar sensors. It calculates the necessary degree of braking assistance and makes it available immediately when the driver presses the brake pedal.
DISTRONIC PLUS: Radar-based adaptive cruise control supports the driver at speeds between zero and 200 km/h by automatically adjusting the distance to the vehicles in front. In doing so it is able to apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill. If the system detects that the distance is being reduced too quickly, it warns the driver with both visual and audible signals.
Headlamp Assist (standard): A sensor on the windscreen detects the lighting conditions. As a result, the headlamps can be turned on automatically and the dashboard lighting adapted accordingly when darkness falls.
Speed Limit Assist: A camera fitted behind the windscreen detects speed limit signs at the roadside and compares this data to information contained in the GPS system. The relevant speed limit is then displayed in the instrument cluster.
Night View Assist PLUS: The display in the dashboard shows a realistic grey-scale image from an infrared camera that monitors the road ahead of the vehicle. Any pedestrians detected are additionally highlighted in the display with so-called photo corners.
PRE-SAFE® Brake: Autonomous braking if acute danger of an accident is detected. At first the driver is given both an acoustic and a visual warning if the system identifies there is a danger of collision. If the driver does not react to this, the system brakes the vehicle autonomously. This occurs in two stages: around 1.6 seconds before the calculated impact point the system decelerates the car with around 40 percent (approx. four m/s²) of the maximum braking power, gives the driver an additional, haptic warning of the impending impact and as a precaution activates the reversible PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system. If the driver still fails to react, the PRE-SAFE® Brake activates the maximum braking power around 0.6 seconds before the now unavoidable collision - this emergency braking can greatly reduce the severity of the impact. The system therefore acts like an "electronic crumple zone", offering the car occupants even greater protection. The PRE-SAFE® Brake is active at speeds of between 7 and 200 km/h when moving vehicles are detected in front of the car. The system also reacts if the car approaches a stationary queue of traffic, providing its speed is below 70 km/h.
II. Passive safety: Prevention and early detection
With nine airbags as standard, belt tensioners and belt force limiters also in the rear and crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraints for driver and front passenger, the CLS Shooting Brake offers a comprehensive scope of safety equipment. The PRE-SAFE® preventive occupant protection system, which is able to reduce the forces acting on occupants in an accident by up to 40 percent, also comes as standard.
The airbags, which can deploy in a matter of milliseconds in the event of an accident, include two adaptive airbags for the driver and front passenger, a kneebag for the driver, two sidebags in the front-seat backrests and two large windowbags which extend from the A-pillar to the C-pillar during side impact. In addition, pelvisbags are included as standard for front-seat passengers, which in the event of a side collision can help to reduce loads in the pelvic area. Sidebags are also available for the rear as an optional extra, resulting in a total of eleven airbags.
Three-point automatic safety belts with belt tensioners and belt force limiters are fitted as standard for the driver, front passenger and rear passengers. Mercedes-Benz is offering adaptive belt force limiters for the outer rear seats as an option (as part of the Rear Seat Safety package together with the two sidebags in the rear). These adapt to the size of passengers automatically. The system detects whether the rear seat passenger is large or small as soon as the seat belt is put on, based on the length of the pulled-out seat belt, and can adapt its protective effect accordingly. The maximum belt force is activated immediately if the rear passenger is large in size, while in the case of smaller occupants the force exerted by the belt is initially set to a lower level.
The three saddle-type head restraints on the rear seats barely affect the view towards the rear, and can be lowered at the touch of a button by the driver.
For toddlers on board, the Shooting Brake is equipped as standard with ISOFIX, the international standard securing system for child seats. The standard-fit mechanism is installed on the outer rear seats and comprises two retaining brackets in each rear seat position, in the gap between the back rest and seat cushion, as well as an additional third anchor point, the so-called top tether. The ACSR automatic child seat recognition system is optionally available for the front passenger seat.
NECK-PRO is the name Mercedes-Benz has given to a crash-responsive head restraint whose development, like that of PRE-SAFE® and other Mercedes-Benz innovations, is based on analyses of real accidents. NECK-PRO is an effective means of reducing the risk of whiplash injuries during a rear-end collision. If the sensor system detects a rear-end collision with a defined impact severity, it releases pre-tensioned springs inside the head restraints, causing the head restraints to move forward by about 40 millimetres and upwards by 30 millimetres within a matter of milliseconds. This means that the heads of the driver and front passenger can be supported at an early stage.
The CLS Shooting Brake is also equipped as standard with the PRE-SAFE® anticipatory occupant protection system. This Mercedes-Benz innovation uses the time between detection of a potential accident situation and a possible collision to initiate preventive protective measures, thus reducing the loads exerted on the occupants in the event of a crash by up to 40 percent. The PRE-SAFE® system consists of reversible belt tensioners for the front seats, a closing function for power windows, and automatic positioning for the front passenger seat. Depending on the equipment variant, the system may also include a closing function for the electric sliding sunroof and adjustment of the seat contours on the driver's and the front passenger's side.
When installed in combination with DISTRONIC PLUS, PRE-SAFE® also uses the information provided by the short-range radar sensors in the front bumper to tension the front seat belts at the very last moment before an unavoidable collision, thus reducing the forces exerted on the driver and front passenger during the crash.

Energy Efficient eBook-Reader Runs on Linux
The Hanlin eReader V3 from Tianjin Jinke Electronics out of China claims to provide a month of use between battery charges. By then 10,000 pages of reading should have been possible – provided you have the requisite time and patience.
Thanks to its ePaper electronic ink display, the Hanlin eReader V3 can save on power consumption, according to its producer. Once a page is fully displayed, further power is not needed. An additional benefit is that the text-to-background contrast helps readability in even the poorest light.
Unlike Amazon's Kindle eBook reader, which is also based on electronic ink technology, the Hanlin is not equipped with Internet access. However, this point is moot for non-U.S. users in that Amazon's Kindle is available only in the U.S. due to its dependence on Sprint's EVDO network.
The Hanlin device accepts content over an SD card (up to 4 Gbytes) or via USB 1.1, with text formats including PDF, DOC, MP3, HTML, TXT, CHM, PNG, TIF, GIF, JPG, PPT, EPUB and LIT. It supports numerous languages (with more to come) and weighs 7.5 ounces. Wolf Linux, an apparent Chinese Linux variant, is the operating system and the device runs on a Samsung Arm9 CPU at 200 MHz. Memory consists of a 32 MB SDRAM and an internal 2 MB NOR Flash. The 6-inch display should be easily readable at a resolution of 800x600 pixels. A stereo audio jack is included.
Availability of the source code is still questionable. December of last year, a user on the GPL violations mailing list tried unsuccessfully to obtain certain source code elements.
The Hanlin eBook is unlikely to be on Ebay any time soon, but is available for $361 from the Jinke website, albeit only by bank wire transfer (no credit cards or PayPal). Alternatively, the product is orderable as the "Walkbook" from a vendor out of Istanbul via PayPal.

In "The Garden of Eden"
The Houston Renaissance, 1900–1941
Politics alone did not drive Houston's "New Negro" Movement. Migrants also relied on coded expressions of protest, such as the use of literature, political satire, music, dance, visual arts, as well as sports, in their efforts to break free of White supremacy and embrace Blackness. Houston especially created a culture of expression for musical entertainers. Saxophonist Tom Archia, born Ernest Alvin Archie Jr., in November 1919, in Groveton, Texas, in Trinity County, just northeast of Huntsville and 120 miles northeast of Houston, learned a good deal about Black consciousness from his parents and grandparents. Both sets of families and grandparents, the McDades and Nathan and Virginia Archie, farmed in Waller County at the turn of the century, with the Archies owning a lucrative watermelon farm. Both sets of families taught their descendants to appreciate their past as well as plan for the future. Also important to the former slaves and landholders was education. Their children especially learned early on the value of a college education, with Archie's parents becoming professional educators in the era of the "New Negro."1
The "New Negro" Movement influenced the Archies in a variety of ways. Ernest Archie Jr.'s parents, for example, attended college, taught school, with his father, Ernest Archie Sr., graduating from Prairie View College in the early twentieth century. For the young couple, Henrietta and Ernest Archie Sr., teaching afforded them the opportunity to influence young people as well as share with others a level of social consciousness. According to Tom Archia biographers Robert L. Campbell, Leonard J. Bukowski, and Armin Büttner, Ernest A. Archie Sr. even aspired to a level of social consciousness that set him apart from members of his extended family. For example, the schoolteacher changed his surname from Archie to Archia in the early twentieth century, perhaps during college, suggesting his father,

Petition Targets Two W.Va. Agencies on Chemical Spill
Two West Virginia government agencies have been accused of ignoring steps that could have taken to prevent the Jan. 9 chemical spill which tainted the drinking water supply for residents in nine counties.
The Charleston Gazette reports an emergency petition was filed Friday with the state Supreme Court on behalf of two nonprofit groups and two Charleston-area residents.
The petition says the Department of Health and Human Resources and the Department of Environmental Protection didn't follow state requirements to protect drinking water supplies.
It seeks to have the agencies show why they shouldn't be forced to take several steps, among them requiring protection plans for the Elk River water supply and monitoring the spill's effects.
The Gazette says agency officials didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

This loan will be used to buy boards, nails, paint, windows, lattices, bricks, cement, gravel, sand, and other materials that she needs to make improvements to her house.

She now has one child remaining who is currently studying basic high school courses.
Additional Information
Prisma Honduras, S.A.This loan is administered by Prisma Honduras. Prisma is one of Kiva's first field partners in Central America and has funded over 2,500 entrepreneurs through Kiva since 2008. Prisma funds smaller than average loans for micro-entrepreneurs to help them grow businesses in urban and rural areas. To improve living conditions in Honduras, the organization strives to empower women who lack access to traditional financial services, and promotes solar panels to deliver clean, affordable electricity to rural areas. Through its four branches in southern and central Honduras, Prisma provides access to financial products to some of the poorest and most isolated communities in the country.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Jesus and the Mummy (3 of 4) by Steve Jones
This content is part of a series.Jesus and the Mummy (3 of 4)
Series: Bible Halloween
Steve Jones
John 11
INTRODUCTION: An archaeologist digging in the Negev Desert in Israel came upon a sarcophagus containing a mummy. He called the curator of a prestigious museum. "I've just discovered the 3,000-year-old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited archaeologist exclaimed. The curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out." A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. "You were right about the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?" "Easy," the archaeologist replied, "there was a piece of paper in his hand that read, '10,000 shekels on Goliath.'"
Today I want to talk about a mummy, but not a dead one with a piece of paper in his hand. I want to talk about a real mummy, wrapped in strips of linen, which came back to life because of an encounter with Jesus. Of course, I'm talking about the account of the raising of Lazarus from the dead recorded in John chapter 11. In that chapter it is recorded that Lazarus became sick, his sisters sent a message to Jesus to come quickly, Lazarus died, and when Jesus arrived he raised Lazarus from the grave, still wearing his grave clothes. This is a mummy with a message for all of us about God's victory over death. God is victorious over death and the resurrection of Lazarus illustrates that in several ways. This morning we'll consider two of those ways and next week we'll look at three more.
John 11:4 "When he heard this, Jesus said, 'This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it.'"
This statement of Jesus is intriguing because Lazarus was already dead when he said it. Since Lazarus was already dead when Jesus received this message why did he say, "this sickness will not end in death"? Jesus said that because he knew that he was going to RESURRECT Lazarus. He knew that he was shortly to reverse the lethal effect of this disease so that death would not have the final say. He was going to NEUTRALIZE the finality of death in Lazarus' particular case. And because this sickness was not going to end in death it was a sickness through which God and Jesus would be glorified. Later, when Jesus announced to his disciples that they were going back to Judea to resurrect Lazarus they tried to talk him out of it because of the danger - but Jesus would not be dissuaded. Jesus was DETERMINED to raise Lazarus from the dead.
God is determined to have victory over death. He is determined that our suffering not END in death - and has been from the very beginning. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden they brought a curse upon mankind and the world - which is why we suffer and die today. But in the same breath that God pronounced the curse he also pronounced the cure when he said to the serpent:
Genesis 3:15 "The woman's offspring will cru ...

Is Event driven architecture an architectural style or a cross-cutting concern? Probably any architectural choice could be labeled as a cross-cutting concern, because it has tendrils in every aspect of the software. Does EDA/EDP fall under a cross-cutting concern?
It's a family of styles that allow components to communicate through asynchronous messages. Systems based on event-based styles are often organized as a loosely coupled federation of components that trigger behavior in other components through events.
A variety of event styles exist, for example:
Crosscutting concerns are addressed by aspect style.
Aspect style is a module style, event-based style - runtime style, so it's important not to mix them up.
not a cross cutting concern. Architectures give solutions for implementing cross cutting concerns. I disagree with the notion that 'any architectural choice could be labeled a cross-cutting concern'.
Think about it this way, regardless of whether you go with an event-driven model, you still have to address your cross cutting concerns like security, metrics, etc. The two concepts are orthogonal.
A concern is usually a behaviour in a computer program. A cross-cutting concern would be a behaviour that interacts with many other parts of the system. An event-driven architecture is a design pattern rather than a behaviour in a program so I would argue that it is not a cross-cutting concern.

"Are you stupid, or just incompetent?"
In the midst of a busy day at the hospital, an invective like that uttered by one member of the health care team to another is, undoubtedly, harmful to whomever it is directed. If it delays or adversely alters the course of care, it certainly could be harmful to the patient. If it is repeated in court, under oath, in front of a jury, it will definitely be harmful to the defense of an allegation of malpractice. Regardless if the person being berated was posing a risk, it will be the berater's behavior that the jurors assess.
Unrestrained physicians and other health care professionals who are accustomed to speaking their minds profanely, throwing around their weight (and the occasional clamp), intimidating subordinates, or berating non-compliant patients—because they can—are about to lose that privilege. Institutions that previously looked the other way when the local rainmaker slapped a tardy float nurse can no longer take that risk. Hospitals, motivated both by concerns for patient safety and by new Joint Commission requirements, are starting to take notice—and action—when a clinician's behavior disrupts the process of care or threatens a co-workers job or well-being.
The Joint Commission standard, which went into effect January 1, 2009, dictates that hospitals 1) have a written code of conduct that defines disruptive or unacceptable behaviors and 2) a process for enforcing the conduct code and managing violations. While the Joint Commission encourages health care leaders to have zero tolerance (especially for assaults), and suggests a range of responses for disruptive behavior, from requiring apologies to suspending privileges, each accredited organization will need to develop and enforce its own policy. That much leeway is of concern to the American Medical Association (AMA), which fears that the standard will be employed too broadly or for reasons other than protecting patients and providers—for example, ousting whistleblowers or competitors. To date, the Joint Commission has not responded to the AMA's request to delay enforcement of the behavior standard for one year.
Fighting to delay the standard may only exacerbate intolerance for dysfunctional health care teams. Witnessing or being a part of verbal or physical abuse by a physician or nurse, or sensing that their care is being hindered by behavior issues, gives patients a platform for formal complaints if their care (or outcome) is suboptimal. Patients rely on caregivers who handle differences before they become conflicts and who resolve conflicts before they disrupt their care and treatment.
No doubt, very good physicians can occasionally lash out in anger at a co-worker or slam a door in bad temper. How hospitals and health care networks respond to isolated events and how they address chronic problems are equally important. Proactive training—for teamwork skills and for reporting and addressing disruptive behaviors—must be part of an organizations core competencies and credentialing criteria. Organizations that lack a training program specific to this issue may want to consider one or more of these options.
