This question already has an answer here:
- Since and Because 3 answers
I came across the following sentence on an English website for ESL students.
Since/Because she stopped eating chocolate last week, she's eating more fruit!
They asked to choose between the two words Since and Because. It turned out that the right word was Because, but I'm not sure of that because, for me, the meaning of sentence is not clear enough. I expressed my doub in a comment, then they replied:
"She's stopped eating chocolate because it contains too much sugar, and has started to eat more fruit because it's just as sweet, tasty, and healthier. It's possible!"
Yes, it's possible, but one might stop eating chocolate for more than one reason. I mean, there is not any logical reason to link "stop eating chocolate" with "eating more fruit". Since might be just as correct and consistent. Moreover, Since may refer to time and make the sentence clearer and more logical to me. I hope I have been clear.

Kate Nash
"MySpace has been really important. I think it's just the tool of our generation."
- Kate Nash, on how the internet has helped her success.
Nash seemingly came out of nowhere to top the British album chart with her debut collection, Made of Bricks, released on the Fiction label in August 2007. Her initial single release of "Caroline's A Victim" / "Birds" earlier in the year created a buzz amongst satellite and underground radio listeners, while the follow-up, "Foundations," entered the official UK singles chart at No. 2, despite having been initially ignored by commercial radio in Britain.
Kate's debut limited-edition vinyl single, "Caroline's A Victim" became a cult favorite on satellite radio and prompted a biting parody on MySpace. "Foundations" reached No. 2 on the British charts despite the fact that it initially received almost no commercial radio airplay, although BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 did add the single to their playlists during the week of its release.
Nash's debut album, Made of Bricks, did one better, entering the British charts at No. 1 in August 2007, and making No. 8 in Ireland. The singer-songwriter's profile increased greatly with her appearances on national programs, including Later… with Jools Holland, "The JD Set," The Friday Night Project, and Popworld during the summer, as well as her performance slots at the O2 Wireless, Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, Latitude, Carling Weekend, and T in the Park Festivals.
Kate Nash BiographyKate Nash was born on July 6, 1987, in Dublin, Ireland, and raised in the North London suburb of Harrow. Her interest in music began at an early age, as she learned to play piano as a child, although she became more interested in pursuing a career in acting by the time she reached her teens. She also began to compose her own original tunes around this time, which she used to obtain her GCSE in Music. In 2003, she enrolled at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon, South London.
kate nash and myspace
Nash auditioned for a spot at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School early in 2006, but failed to make it in. A few days following her rebuff from the Old Vic, she broke her foot tumbling down a flight of stairs while leaving a cinema. The accident proved a blessing in disguise, as her parents bought her a guitar, and her incapacitation motivated her to return to writing songs. In addition to completing previously unfinished tunes, she also wrote several new songs during her three weeks of couch confinement.
When she was able to move around again, Nash decided to take her songs to a live audience and booked a performance at a nearby bar. The response proved positive enough for her to reconsider a career as a singer-songwriter. She recorded some of her early performances and eventually posted a few of her songs on her MySpace profile page, unsure of how people might react.
kate nash releases caroline's a victim
Thanks to the largely enthusiastic response her tunes received from visitors to her page, Nash secured herself a manager. A one-off deal with the independent Moshi Moshi label resulted in the release of a double-A side single, "Caroline's A Victim"/"Birds," in February 2007, issued as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl record. A video for "Caroline's A Victim" was put together and has been aired several times on MTV2. Shortly after the release, she embarked upon her first British national tour, opening for Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.
kate nash releases foundations
Nash inked a deal with Fiction Records, a subsidiary of industry giant Polydor, in March of 2007. Her second single, "Foundations," was released in June 2007. Although the track went virtually unheard on commercial radio around the UK during its first week in the shops, it managed to peak at No. 2 on the British charts thanks to strong sales figures. The release date of her debut album, Made of Bricks, was advanced due to the unforeseen success of the single, and hit the shops on the August 6. The disc topped the UK album charts, and entered the top 10 in Ireland as well.
kate nash goes on tour
Nash spent much of the summer of 2007 on the road, playing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight and O2 Wireless, as well as headlining more intimate gigs as part of her second UK national tour with Peggy Sue & The Pirates. Fiction issued the single "Mouthwash" late in the summer, and in addition to her own solo recordings, Nash has also teamed up with Lethal Bizzle on his track, "Look What You've Done," and with Kano for "Me & My Microphone."

I understand that I could create all of this by myself from scratch but is there any standard way of how I could accomplish that?

Company Overview
Forestry and Agricultural Investment Management Ltd. (FAIM) will establish a state-of-the-art plant propagation nursery and tissue lab in Rwanda based on significant know-how in tissue culture and mass plant production techniques. There is considerable pent-up demand for more productive plants and seeds from government agencies, food processors and farmers; as a result, FAIM has a $5 million purchase order from one client and non-binding commitments of $80 million worth of additional orders over five years, initially including passion fruit, pyrethrum, and bamboo plants.
Other Highlights include:
- FAIM is not only sustainable and profitable, but we also provide large social benefits by boosting rural productivity, creating jobs, diminishing demands for water/fertilizer, and boosting earnings for food processors.
- FAIM forecasts that we can treble yields in bananas and pyrethrum (two examples).
- FAIM's team comprises world-class horticulturalists and entrepreneurs with substantial expertise in building value-added food production centers in the developing world.
- FAIM's business model is highly scalable. With few competitors, we have draft expansion plans to take this program to other African nations.
- FAIM is scheduled to be cash flow positive in the 3rd year (2nd full year of operations).
Rural poverty is a curse in many developing nations. It is a vicious cycle of low productivity, low skills, high un- and under-employment, resulting in a stagnant economy with low income and poor nutrition. One of the first issues to tackle – the first sector that China focused on in its remarkable cycle of growth over the last 30 years — is boosting agricultural productivity. There is an urgent need to introduce sustainable, local ag-based enterprises that will spur jobs, increase food production, create prosperity and educate the people in modern techniques of soil building and crop rotation without adversely affecting the natural environment.
The Opportunity and FAIM's Solution
FAIM will generate revenue and increase agricultural productivity in Rwanda by selling high quality, disease-free plants and seeds grown in our modern plant propagation nurseries, complete with tissue culture lab and advanced soil and water testing. The Company will provide starter plants for commerce, food production, reforestation and soil stabilization; its customers will be industries, local governments and farmers. FAIM's expertise means our production capacity will be much higher than any other similar facility in Africa, leading to better pricing for customers and better margins for FAIM. FAIM will also supply growing information to the grower to insure excellent crop production and we will seek, where appropriate, to support micro financing for farmers with local development banks. We will also help link local farmers to processors, e.g., food or juice processing facilities.

|Suspected EHV-1 Reported in Tennessee
|| Print |
May 16, 2012—The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) of the United States has received reports of suspected cases of Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) infection in horses that participated in a recent trail ride in Tennessee. Six to eightsuspected cases of the neurological form of EHV-1 have been reported to the state veterinarian's office. Horses are being treated, isolated and monitored by their attending veterinarian.
The affected horses might have been exposed to EHV-1 during the Bucksnort Trail Ride, held 23-30 April 2011 in Humphreys County. The event drew approximately 100 horses from multiple states. The movement of horses that attended the event is being restricted on a case by case basis.
As a precaution, horse owners who participated in the Bucksnort event are recommended to work with their veterinarian to restrict movement and to monitor their horses. Hatcher also recommends that isolation and monitoring horses for 28 days if any clinical signs of disease are observed. Veterinarians should report suspected or confirmed neurological cases of EHV-1 to the State Veterinarian's office at 615/837-5120.

On Friday night's episode of "Shark Tank" the investors; Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Kevin O'Leary, Barbara Corcoran, and Robert Herjavec, received offers from entrepreneurs who needed a partner with their expertise to start, save, or grow their businesses.
The first to enter the tank were 3 guys who had invented Oru Kayak, with an original on the always bulky kayak, this could actually fold into the size of a suitcase and yet unfolded as though origami, turn into a water tight and safe kayak. It was indeed one of the most fascinating and inventive products seen in a very long time, some sharks vowed out because of their lack of knowledge in the sport. They asked for $500,000 in exchange for 12% of their company, Robert Herjavec was excited however, careful. He offered the half million dollars but in exchange for 25% of the business, the men countered, he stood fast and the offer was accepted.
Next up was Jayla Siciliano asking for $150,000 in exchange for 35% of her company Bon Affair a combination of wine spritzer with less alcohol and yet refreshing. She had already lost much inventory due to a mishap at the bottling company and needed the investment and advice to keep the company afloat and fulfill orders. The sharks went out with the exception of Mark Cuban, -owner of the Dallas Mavericks-, he offered her exactly what she asked, and although not certain of the company's chances still felt compelled to give it the benefit of the doubt.
The last entrepreneurs of the night were a couple asking for $200,000 investment in exchange for 20% of the company named Cinnaholic, a new and healthy version of the cinnamon role. They wanted the money to open another store, which all sharks felt was not right at this time. The sharks each received a role that would caterer to their specific likes and they all commended the couple on a delicious and decadent pastry. Robert made an offer of $200,000 in exchange of 40% contingent on selling them online as they should since it is such a new business and they are manufacture in such a way that they don't perish as quickly as other cinnamon rolls. Mark was left but did not make an offer and they happily accepted Robert's offer.
"Shark Tank" runs on Friday at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.

Nyingifa, also the Pac-12 Player of the Week, established or tied six career-highs in leading the Bruins to an 82-76 upset win over No. 10/13 Oklahoma at Pauley Pavilion last Sunday afternoon. Nyingifa tied her career-best with a game-high 28 points and had career-bests in free throws made (12) and attempted (15). She completed her second-straight double-double against a ranked team with a career-high 16 rebounds (six offensive). The sixth-year senior also dealt a career-high six assists and added three steals and one block against the Sooners in the Bruins' only game of the week. UCLA, which has faced three Top 12 teams in the first four games of the 2013-14 season, improved to 2-2 overall, and earned the Pac-12's first win over a ranked team this season (previously 0-7).
The Play of the Week comes from Spieker Aquatics Center, where water polo freshman Ryder Roberts scored the game-winning goal at the buzzer against crosstown rival USC to give UCLA the 10-9 comeback victory in double overtime.

Revealed - What Lottery Games You Should Be Playing This Week To Win
Korvin G. emailed me recently:
"Ken, I can play 2 weekly major games in my country. Should I play just one or both? I can't afford to spread too thin but I like the idea of doubling my chances."
Korvin asks the question that several people also ask me each week.
Should you put all your eggs into one basket by playing one game, or spread your tickets around several games?
It's an answer that has to be tailor-made for the Silver Lotto System, because at first glance it seems better to increase your winning chances by taking a few tickets in many games.
The correct answer is.. quite the opposite.
Stick to ONE game only.
Put all your effort into that one.
Ken, OK i tried many other lotto programs and they all stank. i piled money in and got nothing back. So i tried yours. it took a while but i started to get some dollars. Then last week I got $77,000.00 wow!!!! I never had that much money in my life its like 2 years wages all at one time. First thing I did was to get my cards paid of. Then I treated my G/F and family out. Thanks!!!
John Nive, LA (name and email supplied)
Here's why - unless you have the resources to play big in both games, you are reducing your winning chances dramatically by playing both.
In fact, logic tells us that splitting the same amount between two games is going to halve your chances of any wins, maybe more.
All my systems are designed to give you the best winning chance available in one game, so don't mess it up by diluting your options.
Concentrate on one game.
One basket for your eggs is the way to go!
If you've won any prize using my system - no matter how small - share your good fortune with us here: http://thelottolife.com/winners
Every day on this blog I release 3 games from my secret Lotto-80 membership site - from over 85 games around the world. These have the highest chance of winning this week when used with the Silver Lotto System.
For week ending 18 December:
Australia SA Lotto
British Columbia Lotto
Canada Western Lotto
*NOTE: Many of these games play several times a week. Join the Lotto-80 System as a member and get unlimited access to all games all the time for only $7.80 a month (25c a day) here: http://www.lotto-80.com

More than ever, diverse groups of consumers are growing even more powerful with their discretionary dollar. To keep pace with the changing consumer landscape, corporations need to effectively recruit and retain a diverse workforce. Diversity in a company's human capital is not just the right thing to do as a corporate citizen, it is the right thing to do if your focus is on growth.
Workforce diversity harnesses the power of different points of view, experiences, and work styles that empower organizations to:
- Stay at the forefront of innovation by delivering products and ideas that connect with what consumers demand today – and what they will be asking for in the future
- Consistently recruit the best workforce available by widening the pool of talent and experience
- Connect more effectively with influencers – the media in particular – by illustrating the success of their diverse talent base and encouraging other organizations to follow suit
It's not about maintaining quotas. Quotas can be hindering, whereas intentionality in a company's recruiting and development maximizes the company's potential. Genuine inclusion requires an organization–wide commitment to diversity that consistently evolves with the changing world around every organization. Gavin/Solmonese helps organizations:
Recruit a Diverse Workforce
Organizations that recruit the best talent offer compensation by way of salary and benefits, an engaging workplace culture and an opportunity for personal growth. Companies that understand what potential employees want from their employers are the ones that will recruit the best, most productive employees. We'll help companies develop employee incentive packages that make sense with peoples' lives, and show them that they are valued for who they are.
Retain Diverse Talent
Companies who create and maintain a welcome, equitable, and inclusive environment that inspires people to do their best, be unafraid to take calculated risks, and consistently deliver innovative thinking are the companies that are targeted for growth. We will counsel clients on the human resources and C-level initiatives that make a company open and embracing of all employees.
Companies who embrace diversity are the ones that will create an ongoing relationship with the consumer market, and consistently attract the dollars that these people are willing to spend.

TC TO WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY ; 25 January 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420125-TC-WCM-01; CL 14: 22-23
Chelsea, Tuesday Evg [25 January 1842]
My dear Sir,
Acis and Galatea, I now find, was not written by Dryden, but by Gay of the Beggar's Opera, in 1732.1 Dryden's Acis, Polyphemus and Galatea is a mere Translation of the Tale, in rhyme, from Ovid. There was another Acis and Galatea written by Motteux (Translator of Don Quixote, I suppose) in 1701, the music not by Händel, but by I forget whom;—obsolete now.2
These verses (of Gay's) are very good, write them who might,—superlatively good for an Opera; and if the music, as there is good likelihood, correspond to them, and be fairly given, I will augur a fortunate result.
This I write, tho' perhaps it is but a duplicate of what you too have by this time discovered; and you need not take the trouble of writing any answer.
Handel's music to Dryden's Alexander's Feast,3 as I said last night, gratified me more than any music I had ever heard; indeed it was the one instance in which music seemed to me other than a beautiful ideot; being now married to genuine Poetry she seemed a most lovely wise helpful Wife, not a spendthrift ideot Harlot any more!
Believe me ever / Yours most truly / T. Carlyle

The second-in-command at the Crestview Police Department has posted bond and is out of jail after he was indicted on a charge of racketeering Monday.
Maj. Joseph Floyd is just one of the figures at the center of a major probe of the entire department, including his boss, Chief Brian Mitchell.
Major Joseph Floyd was booked into the Okaloosa County Jail Monday, posted $5,000 bond and was released. The entire process took twenty-three minutes. His arrest comes after a grand jury recommended he be terminated and referred to the state for disciplinary action.
The grand jury presentment released Monday accuses 37-year old Joseph Floyd of misusing department resources, displaying a pattern of excessive force, sexual misconduct, making racially derogatory remarks, falsifying police reports and records, intimidating other officers, and tampering with witnesses.
During grand jury testimony, witnesses accused Floyd of soliciting sex from female police officers as well as women he met in public that he didn't even know. He's also accused of tasing suspects without cause, hitting a suspect in the head with an assault rifle, elbowing suspects in the neck and throat, and beating a handcuffed suspect.
The presentment also accuses other officers at Floyd's direction of some of these activities. Some are members of the department's "Street Crimes Unit".
Last Thursday Crestview Mayor David Cadle suspended both Floyd and Crestview Police Chief Brian Mitchell. Floyd reportedly denies the allegations against him and is expected to plead not guilty. State Attorney Bill Eddins said his office will vigorously prosecute these charges.

"Days of Our Lives" is heating up, and as Abby finds out she may be pregnant with EJ's baby she also realizes that she can't trust him, Days of Our Lives News reported on March 10.
According to the latest "Days" spoilers, Abby realizes that EJ isn't to be trusted, and with good reason.
In the past EJ has terrorized Sami when he found out she was pregnant with twins Johnny and Ali, and also let his current fiancé believe their youngest child, Sidney, had been abducted and murdered.
Who knows what EJ will do to ensure that Abby's baby be raised as a true DiMera?
It seems that when it comes to family, EJ is much like his father, Stefano, who's been the villain of Salem for decades.
What do you think? Is Abby really pregnant, and if so, can she trust EJ?

The Spanish Association of Foundations (Asociación Española de Fundaciones, AEF) was set up on January 22, 2003, when the Foundation Centre and the Spanish Confederation of Foundations merged (both were national associations of foundations).
It is a private association of public interest, which brings together foundations from all geographical areas and disciplines. In 2003 AEF was created with 611 members and in July 2012 the number of members is 1059.
Despite its short history, AEF has inherited a legacy of more than 20 years' experience and accomplishments from the two previous organisations. The Spanish Association of Foundations was constituted with the aim of offering more and better services to its associates, of contributing to a clear identification and a stronger influence of Foundations in our country, and of acting as representative of the foundational world under the legitimacy granted by its associates.
General Assembly: it is the highest governing body of representation. It is composed of all associate foundations, which may exercise their rights through the representative they designate.
It meets twice a year, once in June to approve last year report of activities and annual accounts and once in autumn to approve next year budget and activity plan.
Board of Directors : it is composed by a maximum of 26 members and has a four year term limitation. The current one was elected in the General Assembly celebrated on June the 20th 2011.
It will meet whenever the President considers it appropriate or upon request of more than half its members. It will meet at least once every four months.
Board Executive Committee: It is the permanent body of governance, which will supervise all AEF activity and will assume any responsibility delegated by the Board of Directors.
It is composed by a maximum of eight members: President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and the members the Board of Directors designates. It is convened by the Secretary at the initiative of the President.
Its growing influence derived from the increase in the number of members and activities and its attitude of full transparency suggested the drafting of its own Code of Good Governance which was approved on December 2010.
Since the election of the new board a new working system has been established with members of the board holding responsibilities for specific issues. As result of it the following initiatives has been taken:
- International activities: increase bilateral co-operation with other associations of foundations in Europe and in the USA.
- Working group on Effectiveness Performance Measurements and Results. Objective: to help Spanish foundations evaluate the outcomes of their activities. The working group has already held two meetings. A previous experience of the interest group of social inclusion developing an auto evaluation document is serving as a guide.
- Working group on governance issues. Objective: to promote transparency and good governance practices among Spanish foundations. The group has prepared a number of recommendations and good governance practices which may serve as guidelines to any foundation that decides to draft its own Code of Government. The group intends to organize seminars on governance to raise awareness among Spanish foundations on these matters. The first one took place on 12th July 2012.

Bad Day at the Office for Kan
Since the government of Prime Minister Naoto Kan already faces so much trouble – from stubbornly uncooperative opposition parties to the growing threat of defections from its own members – you'd think things couldn't get much worse. Wrong.
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan has been hit by a pair of unexpected developments since late Wednesday, both of which could give Mr. Kan a big headache as he tries to survive an already treacherous parliament session.
In one, three key members of Mr. Kan's cabinet – foreign ministers Seiji Maehara, finance minister Yoshihiko Noda and administrative reform minister Renho – said their respective fund-raising organizations had, or may have, received money from a tainted donor. In the other, a freshman lawmaker announced her departure from the DPJ to join a new anti-tax hike party started by Takashi Kawamura, the hugely popular Nagoya mayor.
There are few indications that the cabinet trio's latest headaches will turn into a full-blown scandal at this point, given that the amounts involved are small. But it surely gives opposition parties fresh ammunition to attack Mr. Kan. It makes it worse that, by strange coincidence, the three ministers are all among those seen as the young Turks of the DPJ, relatively speaking, waiting to become future leaders after Mr. Kan's time is over – whenever it might be.
Ms. Renho said at a press conference late Wednesday she would return the 1.2 million yen received four yeas ago by her DPJ branch office from a small company whose boss has been arrested and indicted for tax evasion. Mr. Noda said he would verify news reports that the same company had paid 400,000 yen to purchase a ticket to a fund-raiser. If it's true, Mr. Noda said, he would also consider returning the money.
And Mr. Maehara issued a statement, acknowledging that his fund-raising organization made an erroneous entry in its financial statement related to the sale of a 500,000 yen fund-raiser ticket to the same company. Mr. Maehara, according to the Japanese media, apologized for the error and promised to amend the statement.
Meanwhile Ms. Sato's departure for the Nagoya mayor's party is also a blow to the DPJ. The party is already facing a revolt by its members close to Ichiro Ozawa, a party elder snagged in a political fund scandal. Earlier this week, 16 lawmakers close to Mr. Ozawa failed to show up at an important parliament session where lawmakers voted on the government's budget for next fiscal year.
"Today's DPJ has grown a bit different from the DPJ when I was first elected," said Yuko Sato, a lower house member, as she announced her decision to join Mr. Kawamura's Genzei Nippon, or Tax Cut Japan party. Mr. Kawamura, a former DPJ lawmaker known for his extrovert speech delivery style and a mantra for small government mantra that's unusual here, is aiming to expand his influence by fielding a number of candidates against DPJ incumbents in April local elections.
Mrs. Sato, who is also close to Mr. Ozawa, was personal secretary to Mr. Kawamura, before running successfully in 2009 for a parliamentary seat vacated by Mr. Kawamura when he became Nagoya mayor.

As far as I remember I had no problem with them when I used taoist Priests. Are these bosses especially vulnerable to lighning, and immune to everything else?

Added a product review for Shimano Deore M590 Crankset With BB 2/5/2014 11:58 AM
Long-term Deore crankset review
The Good: great value! Cranks are light and durable for the price.
The Bad: The BB will only last a month or 2 if you ride in wet conditions. The crank graphics wear off quickly
'Brilliant Cranks for an incredible price! but let down by flimsy BB'
This crankset proves that, in a time when bikes from all disciplines and price brackets are coming with all sorts of crazy gearing setups, you can still get a reliable triple crankset for £60!
I've run these cranks for an entire season of XC and enduro racing in the UK as well as some light dirt-jumping,and street riding. They're not currently the most fashionable/popular configuration in the world of 'enduro' but have dealt with rock strikes racing on the Olympic XC course and numerous crashes on my local trails and jumps admirably and are still on my ride 2 years after I bought them.
The cranks themselves are classic shimano components: light, durable and functional. They're nothing incredible to look at but have a classy grey finish not seen on any other cranksets at this price -They can always be blinged up with some ano crank bolts! They are strong and have shrugged off abuse, never causing any problems on the trail. The cranks are also idela for switching to 1x or 2x setup due to their bargain price.The triple chainrings provided shift smoothly though and are showing minimal signs of wear and damage after a whole season. The only drawback about the cranks and rings worth mentioning is that the anodidsing around teh shimano graphics is quite thin and will wear off quickly leaving the raw alloy crank beneath exposed however this is purely aesthetic.
The low-end Hollowtech 2 BB provided however might as well be a disposable unit as is made mostly of plastic and only lasted just under 2 months! It may last longer if you ride in dryer conditions but it's flimsy plastic construction and lack of removable bearings really let it down in the wet conditions of the UK though and resulted in it wearing extremely quickly. It did however last long enough for me to pick a steel raceface replacement one which wasn't too expensive and was much more durable.
In conclusion this crankset is a great upgrade for an entry-level bike as it offers big weight and money savings, is durable and has potential to be convertd to a 1x or 2x setup, a BB upgrade would be recommended if you ride in wet conditions though!

Mini-Grants Help Students Showcase Their Talent
November 16, 2012 by Keith Chapman
It is not every day, or even every four years, that a college student has the chance to direct an orchestra, work with acclaimed dancers, or run a theater production. But in the past month, Dartmouth students have done just that thanks to a new opportunity to showcase their skills during the Year of the Arts.

As the first recipients of the Year of the Arts and Dartmouth Centers Forum mini-grants, Paul Finkelstein '13, Samuel Tan Jun Jie '14, and Olivia Scott '13 staged an orchestra recital, a dance workshop, and a theater production, respectively.
Jeff James, a co-chair for the Year of the Arts Steering committee, hopes this will provide opportunities that go beyond the classroom.
"The student mini-grant program was created to offer opportunities for students to explore ideas that go beyond regular programming structures," says James, the Howard Gilman Director of the Hopkins Center for the Arts. "We're hoping students will use this initiative to test new ways of engaging with the arts."
The mini-grants inspire students to do just that, if the first recipients are any indication.

"There aren't many opportunities on campus for a student to conduct an orchestra, so this mini-grant enabled an experience that would have otherwise been impossible," says Finkelstein.
He organized a "Conducting Recital and Orchestra Concert" in Rollins Chapel, a free concert that featured music by Edvard Grieg and Joseph Haydn. Finkelstein says he was glad to provide a concert for the community while gaining valuable experience himself. "It has pushed me forward as a conductor and given me more confidence on the podium," he says.
Scott put on a theater production, held in the Hopkins Center for the Arts, which combined elements of poetry, theater, and music. The show was an interpretation of the play Talk by Carl Hancock Rux, in which the story was "interspersed with songs and poetry that complimented the themes presented in the play," she says.

"This event helped bring full circle the idea that art and performance are available as expressions for everyone. This event allowed for more voices, more stories, more discussion on what student performance art can be at Dartmouth."
The Dartmouth Centers Forum and the Year of the Arts Steering Committee reviewed proposals from students for a wide range of projects. In their applications, students explained how their project would contribute to the Dartmouth community, their outreach strategies, and how they would budget for the event.
Tan, who teaches a dance form called "popping," planned a dance workshop, which brought in four prominent street dancers from Montreal and California to teach and perform dance. He says he was surprised at the enthusiasm and willingness of participants to try unique dance styles like "the scarecrow," "the puppet," and "the robot." Tan says the workshop and party were evidence that Dartmouth students have an interest in events that provide good, clean fun.
"I believe this will help me lead and teach street soul better, be a better dancer, and help me to organize even more successful events in the future," says Tan. He hopes participants found an appreciation for the dance forms and also for the culture that surrounds street dancing.
The opportunities for student projects will continue through the Year of the Arts as the Steering Committee and the Dartmouth Centers Forum will be accepting project proposals for mini-grants in the winter and spring terms. Winter term applications for student mini-grants are due by January 11.
"I am always impressed," says Michael Casey, the James Wright Professor of Music, and a co-chair of the Steering Committee, "by the enduring resourcefulness of Dartmouth students at creating and performing original works of art across the campus."
Dartmouth has long been a leader in integrating the arts into the collegiate experience, from the establishment of one of the nation's first campus-based performing arts centers to the commissioning of new work and promotion of artist-in-residence programs on campus. Dartmouth is reaffirming and deepening its commitment to the arts throughout the 2012-13 academic year through a yearlong series of special programs, events, and initiatives that highlights the centrality of the arts as an indispensable component of its educational experience. Major initiatives include the opening of the Black Family Visual Arts Center, the 50th anniversary of the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the initiation of an expansion project at the Hood Museum of Art, as well as a series of programs exploring the intersections between the arts and other disciplines. Together these initiatives reflect and celebrate both the university's historic commitment to the arts and its role as a model for the artistic campus of the 21st century. The public art initiative of the Year of the Arts at Dartmouth is made possible in part by the generous support of the Offices of the President and the Provost.

And so on goes the battle - down on the rails*
Hading south to find my way out.
This is how I wanted this - no one involved;
This time its me against the world.
Now I'm not searching for answers, I'm not running away.
I'm just taking my time to let the dust settle.
To find my self - to start again.
And now I run the signals chasing for the new horizon I see in the distance.
10:45 at Euston and I feel you draining out of me.
This is mine for the taking.

|A cross-sectional observational study was undertaken in Quebec dairy herds to evaluate regional and provincial prevalences of herds with gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections in lactating cows, and to determine risk factors associated with level of herd infection. The 5 most recently calved first-lactation cows from each of 208 randomly selected farms in 7 pre-defined regions of Quebec were sampled for faeces collection in July to August 1995. On the same occasion, a bulk tank milk sample was collected. A questionnaire on replacement and grazing practices was filled out for each farm. Faecal samples were examined and faecal egg counts were determined for trichostrongylids, Capillaria, Nematodirus, Trichuris, Strongyloides, and total GIN eggs. Weighted provincial estimates for prevalence of herds with positive coprologies to these parasites ranged from 4 to 93%. Median faecal egg count per herd was low (17 eggs per 5 g of faeces). Milk samples were submitted for an indirect ELISA test to detect antibodies against Ostertagia and Cooperia. Level of herd infection, as estimated by Ostertagia and Cooperia bulk tank milk ELISA titres (BTTs), varied (P<0.05) among regions. Questionnaire-derived risk factors most significantly associated with an increased bulk tank Ostertagia titre were exposure of lactating cows to pasture, intensive grazing of heifers on farm, contamination history of heifers' pasture, and incomplete pasture rotation for heifers. Very high stocking rates for cows and heifers and mechanical mowing during the grazing season of heifer pastures were associated with decreased ELISA titres. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of nematode infections in first-lactation cows is very high in Quebec herds, with trichostrongylid infections being the most frequently observed. The association between bulk tank milk ELISA titres for Ostertagia and herd-level management practices capable of having an impact on exposure of cows to parasites suggest that BTTs could be a valuable indicator of herd infection level. Proper knowledge of regional prevalences, differences among mean regional titres, and the association between titres and of herd-level risk factors can help veterinarians with their decisions regarding parasite prevention and treatment..

I heard Mandich yesterday saying that he thinks there will be more Giants fans in attendance at Sunday's game because there's a natural tie from London to the financial center that is New York.
I read something in the Herald that said Brisith fans are "sophisticated" because they know the difference between a pre-season and regular season game, and would not have come out to a game where the best players only play a fraction of the game.
[editor's note: I'm not sure that these Dolphins have any best players or that they actually play more than a fraction of the game, either]
Meanwhile, Greg Cote went to London to scope out the scene. He provides a much more balanced picture that shows some understanding.
See the difference? Mandich and the beat writer (or maybe editor) don't get it.

Baseball Ready for 2013 Horizon League Championship
May 22, 2013
CHICAGO - The UIC baseball team will journey to Niles, Ohio for the start of the 2013 Horizon League Baseball Championship hosted by Youngstown State at Eastwood Field. The second-seeded Flames will commence tournament action on Thursday against No. 3 seed Valparaiso at 11 a.m. ET. UIC tied-for-second in the regular season with the Crusaders, but own the tie-breaker by winning five of their six meetings. The second-place finish marks the 12th occurrence in the past 14 seasons that UIC has concluded the conference slate within the league's top two.
"Valparaiso is a club that we certainly respect," said head coach Mike Dee. "I think our guys are playing as well as they have played all season and we have a lot of confidence going into the tournament. We're going to take these games one pitch at a time and if we play the way we are capable of then I like our chances."
Last season, the Flames advanced to the title game with the No. 4 seed, but eventually fell to No. 1 seed Valpo, 14-5. This year marks just the third time that UIC has donned the No. 2 seed and owns a 6-6 record in tourney play with the second seed. Overall, the Flames carry a 36-28 tournament record and a 59-45 mark against the Crusaders all-time.
UIC has a storied history in Horizon League Tournament as they have earned nine championship or runner-up trophies all-time, which is the highest total throughout the league's 32-year tournament life. Eight of those trophies have come since 2000, including four first-place finishes.
Sophomore pitcher and first-team All-Leaguer Tomas Michelson will take the mound for UIC on Thursday as Valpo is scheduled to throw right-hander Cole Webb. All games of the Horizon Baseball Tournament will be streamed live for free on HorizonLeague.com with play beginning on Wednesday.

EIC or Exercise Induced Collapse which is common in Labrador Retrievers has been the topic of research since it was first discovered. EIC manifests itself in healthy dogs that collapse after vigorous exercise. Dogs that suffer from this often have more than one episode. Between episodes they return to normal with no side effects.
The AKC Canine Health Foundation has undergone an extensive study to determine what causes this phenomenon and have developed a test to study EIC. However, the tests results proved to be interesting in that they found there is more than one form of EIC.

The Board originally approved the Strategic Plan in February. At that time, it was noted that some of the goal statements would require revision as baseline data was collected related to various goal statements. The revised goal statements were reviewed by the Strategic Plan Executive Committee and discussed at the Nov. 6 work session of the School Board. The goal statements will continue to evolve as new data points are identified.
As part of the continuous improvement process, District leaders have developed a Scorecard to show benchmark targets. You can view the Scorecard below.

La Drogue
Ali Farka Touré (guitar, vocals)
Red & Green (Nonesuch 79882 )
Ali Farka Touré (guitar, vocals),
Hammer Sankare (vocals, calabash).
Composed by Ali Farka Touré.
Recorded: Bamako, Mali, no date given (music originally released in 1984; reissue released in 2004)
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
This record was once so rare, it seemed more a rumor than a real disk. BBC broadcaster Andy Kershaw says he "felt as a gambler must feel when he hits the jackpot" after finding a copy of the Red LP in the discount bin of a Paris record store. When he played this track on the radio, fans responded with a desperate enthusiasm, frustrated by their inability to locate the obscure release. This is magical stuff indeed, the musical equivalent of pixie dust. Touré is the master of his personal, sprightly 6/8, a groove that seems to turn in on itself under his hands. His vamps are simple, but delivered with a holistic purity that will enchant you, almost as if you looked up in the sky and saw that the clouds had started forming perfect concentric circles. A few years ago, the Red and Green releases by Ali Farka Touré were finally made available on an easy-to-find reissue. So you have no excuse for missing out on this artist. Even if you only plan to buy a handful of "World Music" CDs for your collection, this one must make your short list.

Bacteria in our gut
The bacteria we have living inside us have an enormous effect on our health. They can be affected by our diet, our environment and whether we've been on antibiotics or perhaps even our genes.
Norman Swan: Something like 99% of the DNA in our bodies doesn't belong to us. It's in the millions of microbes that live on our skin, up our noses and in our bowels. It's called our microbiome and the patterns of bacteria we have living inside us have profound effects on our health and wellbeing. And these patterns can be affected by our diet, our environment, whether we've been on antibiotics and perhaps even our genes.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota have been teasing out the story. Here's Purna Kashyap.
Purna Kashyap: They are very important for our health and disease, and I think we are slowly realising that. So when we look at patients with different disease forms, whether it's obesity, diabetes, other metabolic disorders or inflammatory disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, more recently colon cancer, and then other diseases of the GI tract like irritable bowel syndrome, all of these have fairly different microbial populations when you compare them to a somewhat healthy group of people.
Norman Swan: And of course the question is, is it cause and effect?
Purna Kashyap: Exactly, and you're absolutely right, it's always whether it's the chicken or the egg. In biology it's never black or white. If it was truly innocent bystanders just being there in the GI tract that change, we couldn't explain the link that people are seeing with diseases outside of the GI tract, because I can't imagine autism would change the milieu of the GI tract, would change the microbial population. So both of those suggest that the microbes do play a role. But you're right, we still need to figure out how they affect the disease by itself.
Norman Swan: Purna Kashyap and his team wanted to see what the influence of genes was on the bugs in the bowel. In other words, do we inherit a capacity to tolerate some bugs and not others?
Purna Kashyap: What we chose to do was take a single microbial population and put it into two different genetic backgrounds in mice and see how the genes are driving the microbial composition there.
Norman Swan: So the mice were genetically different, the bugs were the same, and to see whether or not the mice would keep the bugs or change them, depending on what genes they had in their body.
Purna Kashyap: Exactly. So what we found was that just the presence of a genetic mutation can lead to very different microbial populations in the two mice. Some of these are very important for us, like Bacteroides and Clostridialis. These are bacterial groups which we know very commonly, which do important functions both in terms of fermentation and being able to digest dietary carbohydrates for us.
Norman Swan: And which genes are doing this?
Purna Kashyap: This is a very interesting gene. So it's a gene which is actually present in about 80% of the people. 20% lack it naturally, and there were some early studies looking at resistance to norovirus infection, a common gastrointestinal viral infection which causes diarrhoea. This gene encodes an enzyme which adds one sugar molecule on the gut mucus lining. So all of our gut is lined by this mucus which is very rich in sugars, and it's interesting because these sugar molecules can act both as points where the bacteria can adhere and hold on to the mucus, or they can actually break it down and eat it for the nutrition.
Norman Swan: So our genetic makeup can affect our microbiome and indeed may be one reason why some of us are more susceptible to certain infections or diseases than others. In fact this particular gene may be related to the risk of Crohn's disease, an inflammation of the intestinal tract.
The researchers then went on to see if they could overwhelm the genetic effect on our internal organisms by changing the carbs in our diet.
Purna Kashyap: We put these mice on a restrictive diet which lacks complex carbohydrates. So when you put them on this restricted diet what we saw was quite fascinating, that now there was no difference in the two microbial populations which was seen with the two different genetic backgrounds. So in other words, diet was able to overcome whatever effect the genes had on the microbial populations.
Norman Swan: Could that mean then that the sort of carbohydrate you eat in your diet could make you more or less susceptible to a gastro bug?
Purna Kashyap: It's a big leap but it could imply something in that direction, which means that if I have the genetic predisposition to a disease, not everybody with a genetic predisposition develops that disease, so why is it that some people who have the genes associated with a disease develop it or don't develop it? And my answer was maybe it's differences in their diet, whether it's carbohydrates, which is what we tested, or differences in protein or fat content, which other people have looked at.
Norman Swan: When people say there are bugs in the bowel that seem to be specific for obesity and maybe in fact cause obesity, could it be that you have genes which predispose you to obesity and they change the bugs in your bowel and the bugs are a secondary effect?
Purna Kashyap: That is possible. However, they've done twin studies where people have the same genetics and you look at twins which are discordant for weight gain, which means they share the same genes but one of the twins gets obese while the other does not, suggesting that microbes are truly driving the obese phenotype and it's not just the genes.
Norman Swan: And how could they be doing that?
Purna Kashyap: A lot of the food that we eat, we actually don't have the capability of harvesting energy from it. A lot of that goes down to our colon where all these bacteria can then ferment that food and provide additional sources of energy. So if the bacteria are more efficient in harvesting energy from the food that we eat, then one can imagine that you would be getting more energy from the food that you eat.
Norman Swan: And the microbes that you're looking at are not necessarily the ones that you find in a regular probiotics that you buy off the pharmacy shelves.
Purna Kashyap: No, so we are looking at entire populations and not specifically the probiotic species, so to say.

Thanks Norman for a very interesting discussion.
Even today the 'official line' of rheumatologists is that diet has no influence on the development or otherwise of the spondylarthopathies in genetically susceptible patients (HLA-B27+). They do however note the association of subclinical ileal inflammation in about 70% of cases. They also know that serum IL-23 (a predominantly gut derived cytokine) is elevated in the condition and that a recently identified population of entheseal resident IL23receptor+ cells explains the localisation of arthritic inflammation to tendon/ligament/muscle attachment sites in and around joints.
Many spondlyarthritics respond well to a carbohydrate-restricted diet which presumably lowers the production of gut IL23 by altering the nature of the gut microbiome.
It's only a matter of time before the medical fraternity recognises the preventative power of a 'No Starch Diet', a treatment more powerful than any of the super-expensive "biologics" which only address the symptoms after the fact.
Interestingly, HLA-B27 is most common in people of Nordic descent - races which historically relied on a high protein / high fat / low carbohydrate diet.

Very interesting. Not surprised by the possible impact of gut bacteria on obesity. Expect that at some stage they will find links to cholesterol.

Yesterday the NRA proposed placing armed police officers in every school to protect our children and the media has gone into full mockery mode. However, in April 2000, on the one year anniversary of the Columbine massacre, Bill Clinton essentially made the same proposal and the media was just fine with it.
Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can't stop howling ridicule at the NRA's idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA's idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media's going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.
This is how the media works to silence and vilify the opposition and to ensure that only their ideas control The Narrative. The media doesn't care about securing our schools; they only care about coming after our guns and handing Obama another political win.
The media also doesn't care how wildly hypocritical they look.
In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clinton requested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called "COPS in School," a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking.
Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.
"Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need," Clinton said.

President Barack Obama and Pope Francis met at the Vatican on Thursday. Obama said that he is a great admirer of Pope Francis as he considers the Pope to be a kindred spirit on issues of economic inequality. The meeting between the two lasted about an hour, according to a Yahoo! News report on Thursday.
It is known that the church and President Obama are divided on some issues, such as contraception and abortion.
President Obama arrived at the Vatican was greeted by the traditions of the Catholic Church which involved a long, slow procession through the halls of the Apostolic Palace with Swiss Guards fronting the procession.
Reportedly, President Obama bowed as he met Pope Francis in the Small Throne Room. Then they sat in the Papal Library at a wooden table for their historic first meeting.
Obama told the Pope that it was a great honor to meet him and that he is a great admirer of his. He said, "Thank you so much for receiving me."
Following the 52 minute meeting, some of the president's senior advisers were allowed to greet the Pope. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was present and told the Pope that, as a Catholic, he is a great admirer of everything he has been doing for the church.
President Obama gave the pope a seed chest with fruit and vegetable seeds used in the White House Garden. It was presented in honor of Pope Francis' previous announcement regarding the gardens of the papal summer residence that will be open to the public. The chest was inscribed with the date of the historic meeting. Obama is the ninth president to visit the Vatican.
Obama is on a four-country trip designed to secure European unity against Russia's movements into Ukraine.

MVRDV's Shenzhen Guosen Tower Is A Giant Energy Efficient Chinese Lantern
Start Slideshow
- Guosen TowerThis new landmark tower slated for Shenzhen, China will house the headquarters of the Guosen Securities corporation. The primary objective for the design of Guosen's new tower was that it be energy efficient and cool, which MVRDV was able to providewith its competition winning design. Resembling a giant Chinese lantern, the 204 meter tall tower will feature shading louvers on every floor, rainwater recycling, and natural daylighting for each employee's work station.1
- Guosen TowerThe volume of the tower has a square floor plan with a elegant, slender volume, which allows daylight to reach into the building to provide a more pleasurable working environment for the employees.2
- Guosen TowerSo each worker has access to views and natural daylight, no workspace was placed further than 11 meters away from the facade.3
- Guosen TowerThe edge of each floor was angled down 35-55 degrees to create a shade for the floor below and large glass fronts connect these louvers together.4
- Guosen TowerLouver size and angle was optimized for its location on the building and relationship to the sun. For example, on the north side, the louvers are smaller than on the south side.5
- Guosen TowerThe louvers can also accommodate solar panels to generate electricity, and they reduce the overall cooling load by 33%. Rainwater is collected off the louvers and piped into the grey water circulation for use inside the building.6
- Guosen TowerPlus a lengthy water pipe system runs invisibly through the façade collecting heat from the sun and the solar cells to heat up water. Employees and visitors have quick and easy access via an underground tunnel to the nearby metro station.7
- Guosen TowerParts of the facade are lifted to create a double height ceiling for a more dramatic effect and better views of the city. This feature is at the entrance on the ground floor, two places in the tower and then the executive lounge at the top.8
- Guosen TowerThese two double height features in the middle of the tower are designed as small amphitheaters with terraced seating that can be used for conferences and gatherings.9
- Guosen TowerA low rise building next to the tower holds a shopping and conference center. The end result of the louvered tower resembles a giant Chinese lantern, which at night will provide a warm glow to the city.10

College Hockey:Shyiak will not return to Alaska-Anchorage bench in '13-14
Alaska-Anchorage will have a new head coach for the 2013-14 season as Dave Shyiak was fired Friday.
A school-issued news release did not divulge details or even mention Shyiak was fired, but according to the Anchorage Daily News, Shyiak met with the team Friday afternoon and gave them the news.
"He came in and told us, straight-up, 'Guys, I'm terminated as of today,'" said UAA junior goaltender Rob Gunderson to the News. "We were shocked. He told us it was awesome to be here, he experienced so much and all he wants for us is success."
Seawolves' associate head coach Campbell Blair's contact will be honored through this school year and assistant coach T.J. Jindra was told he can remain in his job, according to the News.
"He's a great guy, a good coach and a good family man, and he gave us all the opportunity to play college hockey, and that's huge," Gunderson added. "But sometimes, you do need a change and even coach said change can be good.
"It was shocking, but that stuff does happen in the end and you have to find a way to deal with it. It's tough."
Alaska-Anchorage went 80-177-33 in Shyiak's eight seasons, including a 4-25-7 season in 2012-13.
The News also reported a new hiring is at least a month away at this point.

The problem is:
Let $E$ be a normed space, let $x\in E$, let $\left(x_{n}\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\subset E$ be a sequence. I need to show that $\left(x_{n}\right)$ converges weakly to $x$ if and only if $\left(x_{n}\right)$ converges to $x$ in $\left(E,\,\sigma\left(E,\, E^{*}\right)\right)$, $\sigma\left(E,\, E^{*}\right)$ denoting the weak topology on $E$.
My efforts:
I have that $x_{n}\rightarrow x$ in $\left(E,\,\sigma\left(E,\, E^{*}\right)\right)$ is equivalent to: $\forall U\in\sigma\left(E,\, E^{*}\right),\, x\in U\,:\quad\left\{ n\in\mathbb{N}:\, x_{n}\notin U\right\}$ is finite.
My question:
It is unclear to me how to pass from the weak convergence in $E$ to the convergence in the weak topology on $E$.
How can I prove both directions?
Thanks, Franck.
