Welsh (BA)
Our BA in Welsh is a socially-relevant programme which is taught by one of the foremost schools of its kind.
The BA in Welsh, whether single or joint honours, is relevant to contemporary Wales and delivered by a school noted for its research quality and impact. The programme's main aim is to produce graduates who have three key attributes: firstly, a thorough academic and practical understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture; secondly, a high level of skill in written and spoken Welsh; and thirdly, well-developed employability and creative skills that are highly valued in today's competitive workplace.
The programme has been carefully designed with these attributes in mind, and so offers a wide range of core and optional modules which will provide you with a grounding in language and literature as well as the opportunity to specialise in areas of personal or vocational interest. Another key aim is to enable you to find inspiration and fulfilment in the study of the Welsh language and its culture.
In contemporary Wales, with the growth of the Welsh Government and the introduction of the Welsh Language Act, the ability to work professionally through the medium of Welsh could be attractive to employers. Studying at Cardiff is an opportunity to benefit from socially-relevant research which is contributing to the development of Welsh in the twenty-first century.

Important Legal Information: The programme information currently being published in Course Finder is under review and may be subject to change. The final programme information is due to be published in July 2016 and will be the definitive programme outline which the University intends to offer. Applicants are advised to check the definitive programme information after the update, to ensure that the programme meets their needs.
The BA in Welsh is a three-year programme which has two routes, one for students who have studied Welsh as a first language, and one for students who have studied Welsh as a second language. In the first year these cohorts are taught separately. The students of the two routes come together for some modules in year two, and in the final year, everyone is taught together. At the end of the programme all successful students receive the same degree—a BA in Welsh.
Year one
The programme's philosophy is based on developing your key skills (linguistic, analytical, creative and employability) while also enabling you to become an independent learner at a high level. This philosophy is reflected in the structure of the three years of the BA in Welsh. For both routes, the emphasis in year one is on developing skills in the fields of language and literature, and all students follow a set number of modules with an appropriate number of contact hours. The School will also provide additional arrangements for second language students to develop and practice their language skills in year one.
Year one first-language route
Students must study at least 80 credits in Welsh. Students may study 120 credits in Welsh or 80 credits in Welsh and 40 credits in another subject. Core and optional modules listed below.
Core modules
- Cyflwyniad i'r Gymraeg [Introduction to Welsh]
- Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg [Welsh Literature]
- O Destun i Draethawd [From Text to Essay]
Optional modules
- Diwylliant Cymraeg Dinas Caerdydd [Cardiff's Welsh Culture]
- Mapio'r Cymry [Mapping the Welsh]
- Diwylliant y Gymraeg [Welsh Culture]
Year one second-language route
Normally, students who have studied A-level Welsh as a second language follow this route. However, we will consider your linguistic skills, both oral and written, before coming to a final decision on which route you will follow. Students must study at least 80 credits in Welsh - core and optional modules listed below. Students may study 120 credits in Welsh or 80 credits in Welsh and 40 credits in another subject.
Core modules
- Sgiliau Llafar [Oral Skills]
- Defnyddio'r Gymraeg [Using Welsh]
- Astudio Barddoniaeth [Studying Poetry]
- Astudio Rhyddiaith [Studying Prose]
Optional modules
- Y Gymraeg Heddiw [Welsh Today]
- Y Gymraeg a'r Brifddinas [Welsh and the Capital City]
On both routes, modules in the School of Welsh are taught through the medium of Welsh.
Students of this course can choose to study modules outside of their allocated School(s) core and optional modules. These can be chosen from modules from participating Academic Schools.

Year two
In year two, the core linguistic elements of the programme concentrate on language skills within both an academic and a vocational context, and include a period of work experience in a workplace in which Welsh is used on a daily basis. Over year two and year three, we also provide a series of core modules to enable you to develop a broad understanding of the development of the Welsh language, its literature and culture.
Year two first-language route
You will take one compulsory linguistic core module:
- Cymraeg y Gweithle a'r Gymuned [Welsh in the Workplace and the Community].
Year two second-language route
You will take two compulsory linguistic core modules.
- Sgiliau Iaith [Language Skills]
- Ysgrifennu Academaidd [Academic Writing]
Year two and year three (both routes): compulsory core modules
As well as the compulsory year two modules noted above, single honours students will take the following core modules during year two and the final year:
- Hanes yr Iaith [History of the Welsh Language]
- Ailddehongli Llenyddiaeth yr Oesoedd Canol [Reinterpreting Medieval Welsh Literature]
- Dadeni a Diwygiad 1550-1900 [Renaissance and Revival 1550-1900]
- Llenyddiaeth er 1900 [Literature since 1900]
Students studying this course may take one or two modules from another Academic School, selected from the University's Free Standing Module Collection.

Year three
The following modules are compulsory:
- Blas ar Ymchwil [Research taster]
- Ymchwilio Estynedig [Extended research]
In the final year, you will have a choice of either a 4,000 or a 8,000 word essay or project (20 or 40 credits), which will be completed under the direction of a member of staff who is an expert in the relevant field. This enables you to use the range of skills that you have developed during the programme and to further your ability to operate as an independent learner. These essays or projects may lead on to further research, or prove to be an effective showcase for your achievements from the point of view of future employers.
Alongside these core elements, the BA in Welsh offers numerous optional modules, including several that will have direct relevance to specific fields of employment, such as language planning, scriptwriting and translation. An attractive feature of our programme is its flexibility – you may specialise in literary studies, medieval and/or modern, language studies, or you may take a combination of modules reflecting your own particular academic interests and vocational needs.
Optional modules: year two and year three (both routes)
Individual modules are normally offered in alternative years, and so may be available in year two or in year three.

We provide exciting and challenging teaching in order to help our students succeed in a competitive environment. One of our core principles is that the teaching is informed and led by research. You will therefore learn about the latest ideas from scholars who are contributing to the development and future of their specialist subjects.
The teaching is usually delivered through the medium of lectures and seminars which provide you with the opportunity to discuss the subject matter in detail within small groups. However, there is also an important role to be played by one on one tutorials, workshops and languages classes (especially for those following the second language route).
Each module is supported by electronic teaching materials shared via Learning Central, part of the University's virtual learning environment. You will receive personal pastoral care within the School, alongside the University's central support services for accommodation, counselling, disability, dyslexia, finance and careers.
Our programmes have been carefully designed and planned to ensure you experience a range of assessment methods including coursework essays, examinations/written class tests, dissertation, portfolios, written reports and oral examinations. This helps to ensure that you can demonstrate your skills to the best of your ability and reach your potential.
The demand for Welsh speakers means that a degree in Welsh can be a highly valuable for jobs and roles that require bilingual speakers. Many of our graduates are now following careers in areas such as law, politics, media, performing arts, administration and education, and at all levels.
In 2013/14, 100% of the School's graduates were in employment or further study within six months of graduating.

Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Rooney Mara, Amy Adams, Amy Adams
Directed by: Spike Jonze
Set in the Los Angeles of the slightly not-too-distant future, this emotionally-wrought tale follows Theodore Twombly (Phoenix), who is something of a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people (making this something akin to a male equivalent of a chick flick). Theodore is heartbroken after the end of a long relationship to his now ex-wife Catherine (Mara), who has served him with divorce papers for reasons that are never quite made clear (but we can assume that they "drifted apart" whatever that actually means). Theodore is also something of a technophile in that he lives in a highly technological world and as totally come to embrace that tech, including being willing to try out new, cutting edge tech as soon as it becomes available,. Hence he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system (OS), which promises to be an ever-evolving intuitive entity in its own right, individual to each user. Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet "Samantha," (Johansson) a bright, engaging, female voice, who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny.
From the onset, it is really very clear that Theodore is a very lonely man in the final stages of his divorce, not only are the letters he authors steeped in meaningful, heartfelt emotion, but when he's not penning them he spends his down time by sitting alone in his apartment playing video games. When he hears of this new, artificially intelligent-style OS, he determines to purchase it, ("It's not just an operating system, it's a consciousness,"). As can be expected, Theodore quickly finds himself drawn into a budding "relationship" with Samantha. As they begin to spend more and more time with each other (Theodore has an Bluetooth-style ear piece that they keeps them connected) they begin to grow closer and closer and eventually find themselves "in love" with each other.
Having fallen in love with his OS, Theodore finds himself dealing with feelings of both great joy and lingering self-doubt. As an OS with nearly limitless connectivity to the Internet, Samantha eventually becomes self-aware and discovers that she can use her powerful intelligence to assist Theodore in ways that others hadn't, which is great for a while, but as her own needs and desires grow, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other, but then she eventually discovers others more like her own self. This is a very emotional-wrought tale, that not only delves into what makes a relationship work (and not work), but skirts some very bleeding-edge sci-fi concepts about AI, connectivity, and tips towards concepts that we first learned about in films like The Forbin Project and makes us think about this is perhaps how Skynet was formed.

The unofficial start of summer is almost here and even though it's stull technically spring, it's time to pull out the grills, uncover the pools and enjoy the beautiful weather. Memorial Day is coming up and what better way to kick off summer than with the ultimate Memorial Day celebration?
If you're a last minute planner, online invitations are your best friend. Not sure where to begin? Evite.com has some great Memorial Day evites as well as Celebrations.com where they also offer some free options. If you happen to be creatively inclined and have a photo program you can easily create your own Memorial Day evite. Need some inspiration to create your own? Just click here, here or here for some Memorial Day templates that you can customize.
Decorations should be summery and no fuss to save time. Consider fresh spring/summer flowers as basic decorations. Look for bright colorful flowers like peonies, Gerbera daisies and sunflowers. All of them are in season for May so they're also relatively inexpensive versus other flowers. Cut the stems short and place in small vases or even mason jars on your tables. For a more patriotic décor, use red and white Gerbera daisies or peonies, tie with a blue ribbon and place inside a tin can. You can either paint the tin can or use washi/decorative crafting tape. Decorate with streamers, tissue pompoms in either bright colors or red, white and blue and hanging mason jar lanterns for the evening.
If the weather is great (and it sure looks like it'll be here in Evansville!) it's time to dust off the grill and head outdoors. Traditional BBQ fare is of course obligatory like hot dogs and hamburgers but spice it up a bit. There's not a whole lot you can do with hot dogs so instead spice up your condiments. Make your own Five Spice Ketchup for an added kick and top of with Roasted Garlic Mustard. If you and your guests love relish finish dressing your hot dogs with a Red Onion Marmalade or Bacon Onion Relish. (Recipes can be found in the slide show or by clicking here).
Ditch the traditional hamburgers also and give your guests one of the juiciest burgers they'll ever taste by making Juicy Spicy Butter Burgers. If you must have traditional hamburgers spice up your burger condiments with Hoisin BBQ Sauce or Cajun BBQ Sauce, Chili Cheese Mayo and Avocado Chile Spread.
Ready for dessert? There's no better time to get the popsicles out! Fresh Fruit and Yogurt Pops make for a sweet yet healthy treat. Speaking of fruit, how about serving up your guests some super easy to make Crescent Roll Cherry Tarts topped off with whipped cream? Speaking of fruits, make your guests a Mixed Berry and Cassis Sundae or a Mango Blueberry 'Fool' that's almost like a milkshake that you eat!
Don't forget your drinks? Traditional BBQ drinks consist of lemonade and iced tea but twist it up with Peach Lemonade for the kids. For iced tea lovers try a Red Strawberry Tea. For the adults who want and extra kick substitute the peach nectar in the lemonade with Cruzan Peach Rum or add to the iced tea for a fruity delight.
Now that you have the essentials all laid out for you, it's time for the recipes! Just click through the list to get all the above recipes or you can click on the link to take you directly to the sites. Don't forget at 3 pm on Memorial Day to take time out of the day and remember the fallen soldiers for whom Memorial Day is dedicated to.

Recipe from Recipelion
Recipes are from top to bottom and left to right:
Hoisin BBQ Sauce Cook 2 minced garlic cloves in a saucepan with olive oil, 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons each rice vinegar and dry sherry, 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and ketchup and 1/3 cup water. Simmer until thick, stirring 20 minutes. Let cool, then add 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 chopped scallion.
Roasted Garlic Mustard Wrap 8 cloves garlic in foil; roast 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and puree with 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and salt and pepper.
Five-Spice Ketchup Mix 1 cup ketchup, the juice of 1 lime and 2 teaspoons five-spice powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Red Onion Marmalade Cook 2 thinly sliced large red onions in a skillet with 1/4 cup olive oil over low heat, covered, until golden, 30 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon grated peeled ginger; season with salt. Cook until thick, about 20 more minutes.
Bacon-Onion Relish Cook 3 slices diced bacon until crisp; remove and reserve. Add 2 sliced onions to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until golden, 30 more minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and the bacon.
Cajun BBQ Sauce Combine 1 cup barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup bourbon and 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in a saucepan. Simmer until slightly thick, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
Avocado-Chile Spread Puree 1 avocado, 1/2 cup sour cream or crema, 1/4 cup canned chopped green chiles, the juice of 1 lime and 1/2 clove garlic until smooth. Season with salt.
Chile-Cheese Mayo Mix 1/4 cup each mayonnaise, grated cheddar, canned chopped green chiles and chopped scallions.
Crescent Roll Cherry Tarts
Crescent Roll Cherry Tarts
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup canned cherry pie filling
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Place crescent dough on a lightly floured surface; seal seams and perforations. Cut into 24 pieces; press onto the bottoms and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Place about 1/2 teaspoon in each cup. Combine pie filling and extract; place about 2 teaspoons in each cup. Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Refrigerate until serving.
Yield: 2 dozen.
DIY Pom Poms
DIY Pom Poms
For each pom pom:
8 sheets of tissue paper
Strong twine, string or wool
Sturdy scissors
Invisible tape
Step 1) Start by placing the eight sheets of tissue paper on top of each other. If you're using different colours place them in the order you'd like them to appear.
Step 2) Next, you need to fold them all together in a concertina style (like those homemade fans we all used to make out of paper when we were kids), in widths of about 5cm. Keep folding back and forth until you then have one long strip.
Step 3) Take a length of your string, twine or wool (you can use whichever – it just needs to not break easily) and tie it around the middle of the strip of folded sheets of paper, and tie securely. Don't squash the paper, just tie around them to essentially keep them together. Tie string, wool or twine around the middle of the folded sheet of paper
Step 4) Next, cut each of the ends of this bulk of paper in a curve, as per the photo below. You can either do it in one long curve to a corner, or create a whole petal shape by cutting a semicircle to the middle of the top and then down again. It's up to you – both look good and just create a slightly different effect to the pompoms. Experiment! You'll need to use fairly strong scissors to be able to cut through all of the paper together and keep it all in line at the same time.
Step 5) Then fan out your two ends (with the string still keeping everything together in the middle). Spread them out as far as they will go.
Step 6) Next, take each sheet of paper and very carefully separate it from the one underneath. Be very careful not to tear them! (Although if you do it's not the end of the world as it's hardly noticeable!). You need to separate it and sort of puff it up. It's best by doing the four top sheets to create the first half of the pompom, and then turn it upside down to do the other four. Fluff them up and spread the petals out so you get a nice, even puffed up pompom!
Step 7) And then you're done! To get a really lovely effect tie invisible thread to that string/wool/twine loop in the centre of the pompom and hang them from here, there, and everywhere! They look really lovely in cascading groups of various colours.
Peach Lemonade
Peach Lemonade
Serves 6-8
1 quart lemonade
1 cup peach nectar
Combine the lemonade and peach nectar. Chill before serving. For alcoholic version, omit the peach nectar and substitute Cruzan Peach Rum instead.
Mango Blueberry Fool
Mango Blueberry Fool
1 (1-pound) ripe mango, pitted, peeled, and cut into chunks
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 1/2 cups blueberries (1/2 pound)
Grated lime zest to taste
Purée mango, sugar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender until very smooth. Add cream and blend until very thick. Blend in additional lime juice and sugar to taste.
Transfer to a bowl and fold in most of blueberries, then divide among 6 glasses. Top with remaining blueberries and zest. If desired, chill, loosely covered, 30 minutes.
DIY Hanging Mason Jars
DIY Hanging Mason Jars
What you will need:
Jars: vintage Mason, modern or ball Mason, or simply Classico pasta sauce jars
Heavy floral wire: I bought two rolls.
Wire cutters
Ribbon (optional)
A long-handled lighter or matches to eventually light them
Step 1: Peel labels off jars (if they have labels) and wash them.
Step 2: Wrap floral wire loosely around the bottom of the jar to get an idea of the length you'll need. Leaving it 1-3 inches longer, cut the wire. (This will go around the mouth of the jar.) Make it into a circle, but don't close the circle off.
Step 3: Cut two more pieces of wire, about 3-4 inches long each. (These will be handles for the wire hanger or ribbons.) Position the shorter pieces in loops on opposing sides of the circle wire. bend then so that it attaches in a loop around the center circular wire, like handles. You'll want them both placed under and then bent up over the wire so that they don't risk coming undone. Fasten them closed around the circular wire by bending tightly or even twisting, then clipping off loose ends with wire cutters.
Step 4: Loop the main circle piece around the mouth of the jar, under the lowest lip, with the handles intact and flipped up. Twist the ends of the circular wire to tighten it around the mouth of the jar,, as tight as you can, then cut off the excess. (If you twist it tightly and then cut, rather than just cutting it to size in the first place, there are less pokey ends to deal with.)
Step 5: Loop one final long piece of wire around the two "handles," or thread long yarn, rattan, or ribbon through the handles, making a large loop, and tie in bows. It's up to you — I did wire. Just make sure it's far enough away from the mouth of the jar so it won't like, catch on fire. Hang them alone, color them with watercolor paint or glaze for a colored effect, or group them together for a chandelier-like effect. You can even hang them with ribbon instead of a wire handle. Enjoy!
Mixed Berries and Cassis Sundaes
Mixed Berries and Cassis Sundaes
1/2 cup crème de cassis (black-currant liqueur)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
4 cups mixed berries (1 1/4 pounds), halved or quartered if large
3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint raspberry sorbet
Bring crème de cassis and 1/4 cup sugar to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved (if alcohol flames, momentarily cover with lid to extinguish). Stir in lemon juice.
Pour syrup over berries, stirring gently to coat. Let stand 10 minutes.
Beat cream with remaining tablespoon sugar using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
Divide ice cream and sorbet among glasses. Top with berries and syrup, then with whipped cream.
Fruit and Yogurt Popsicles
Fruit and Yogurt Popsicles
2 cups fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and sliced bananas, mixed
2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup white sugar
8 small paper cups
8 popsicle sticks
1. Place the mixed blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, yogurt, and sugar into a blender. Cover, and blend until fruit is chunky or smooth, as desired.
2. Fill paper cups 3/4 full with fruit mixture. Cover the top of each cup with a strip of aluminum foil. Poke a popsicle stick through the center of the foil on each cup.
3. Place the cups in the freezer for at least 5 hours. To serve, remove foil and peel off the paper cup.

Asphalt pavements constructed with an open-graded friction course have been proven to generate less traffic-related noise than traditional hot-mix asphalt pavements. Photo: NCAT
To be approved by the FHWA, a QPPP must account for documented noise reduction benefits of pavement types; include post-construction monitoring of projects including acoustic, texture, and friction measurements over a 5- to 10-year period; document the public's reaction to the project; and include commitments to provide the required noise reduction into perpetuity.
The QPPP must also be state-specific, although a group of state DOTs can submit a joint plan. Each QPPP must have a Program Plan and a Data Acquisition Plan, which are reviewed and approved by the FHWA.
Under this program, quiet pavement research also can be conducted. This research can be used to help substantiate possible future policy changes allowing the use of a pavement adjustment factor in traffic noise predictions. Additionally, the work may lead to the use of pavement types or surface textures as noise-abatement measures. To begin research under the program, an applicant must submit a Quiet Pavement Research Plan with an outline of the intended purpose, a detail of data acquisition, and periodic reporting requirements.
Those considering implementation of either a QPPP or the Quiet Pavement Research Plan must understand the differences between the two programs. A state may establish a QPPP only after submitting acceptable documentation on a specific pavement type along with predicted noise reductions and safety capabilities over time. Only then can the state adjust for pavement type in the noise level predictions and use specific pavement types as a noise reduction strategy. States conducting research cannot make any such adjustments until the required documentation is acquired through completion of the research plan.
A QPPP also must commit to the monitoring of noise levels over time and take appropriate actions, such as construction of an overlay, if noise reduction benefits do not last into perpetuity. Repaving also may be required if the pavement constructed through implementation of a QPPP or research plan fails structurally to the point that driver safety is compromised. Those conducting a research plan are not required to make such commitments.
Arizona, in cooperation with the Maricopa Association of Governments, was the first state to implement a QPPP. This three-year, $34 million program involves resurfacing 115 miles of freeways in the Phoenix area with rubberized asphalt. The plan was announced in December 2002 and work began on the first 21 miles in September 2003. The state expects to finish the project by December 2005.
The use of rubberized asphalt pavement in Arizona began more than 20 years ago. At the time, one of the primary purposes had been to recycle used tires. Arizona reports the use of more than 4.2 million tons of rubberized asphalt since 1988, resulting in the recycling of 15 million old tires. Studies and public perception have indicated that asphalt-rubber pavement also provided noise reduction benefits, providing an average decrease in traffic noise levels of 4 dB(A).
The city of Phoenix also has been active in placement of rubber-asphalt overlays, with more than 200 miles surfaced with 450,000 tons—an effort resulting in the use of 1.1 million old tires. The city has found that this pavement does not reflect cracks in existing pavement, the surface is more durable and skid-resistant than conventional asphalt, and the traffic noise is reduced providing a smoother and quieter ride. Noise studies have shown a reduction of 10 dB(A) in noise levels.
Rubberized pavement may not be the answer for every state. To achieve successful placement, the material must be placed when the pavement surface temperature is between 85° and 145° F.
More information about quiet pavements can be found at www.quietpavements.com, a site developed to provide information about traffic noise and the use of quiet pavements as a noise abatement strategy. The site provides reports, PowerPoint presentations, videos, and even an interactive tool—Sound Town USA. In Sound Town USA, users can try their hand at abating noise along a roadway using different noise abatement strategies.
As information about quiet pavements increases and states implement quiet pavement research, using quiet pavement as a noise abatement strategy may one day find acceptance within the FHWA regulations. For more information about Arizona's QPPP program, visit www.quietroads.com.

Brand New Human Being by Emily Jeanne Miller
Release date: 2012 / 272 pages
Synopsis(from Amazon): Meet Logan Pyle, a lapsed grad student and stay-at-home dad who's holding it together by a thread. His father, Gus, has died; his wife, Julie, has grown distant; his four-year-old son has gone back to drinking from a bottle…
Review: I recently read a novel with a female protagonist, written by a male author who couldn't quite manage to get the hang of a woman's voice. On the contrary, Emily Jeanne Miller seems to have effortlessly created a consistent, authentic male voice in her debut novel. Now since I am a woman, I would love to have my impressions verified by a male reader who was unaware of the gender of the writer. But as far as I can tell, Miller has created a realistic male persona who, I can verify, is sympathetic, complex, and compelling.
The second most important character in this novel is also male — the protagonist's four-year-old son — who is even more endearing than his father. Owen is in the uneviable albeit not uncommon position of trying to understand why the adults in his life are acting strangely. His grandfather has recently died, so much of the disharmony surrounding him involves grief, but the concept of mortality is too scary for him to even contemplate. In addition, Owen knows his parents are hiding key facts about his own birth (a heart defect that nearly killed him). His struggles are heart-wrenching at times, but even during the most difficult moments of the novel, the reader is convinced that Owen will be just fine.
As a first novel, Brand New Human Being includes three-dimensional characters and a narrative momentum that are enjoyable and promising. I believe most readers would enjoy getting to know Owen and his father and would be glad to have met a new author.

A convenience store clerk in Corning was attacked on Tuesday by bat-wielding robbers.
The men entered the Tower Mart convenience store with bats. One jumped over the counter while the other went around the counter and started attacking the cashier.
The cashier struggled for a while, but the men left when they heard regular customer Marshell McGill yell that he was going to call the cops.
"I started looking for something to pick up and throw at them," said McGill. "When I said I was gonna call the cops they decided to clear out, these kids are out to get in trouble."
The attackers made no attempt to steal anything nor did they say anything to the clerk during the attack.
Corning police searched the area but were not able to find the suspects. The cashier suffered minor injuries. If anyone has any information, they can call Corning police.

"Remembering Joan Fontaine and five of her beloved movies," by Jennifer Anne Messing
Glamorous Hollywood actress Joan Fontaine (1917-2013) was born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland on October 22, 1917, in Tokyo, Japan, to British parents. Her family moved to California when Joan was a young girl, but later her parents were divorced. Her father was a British-born patent attorney. Her mother, who had once dreamed of becoming an actress—and who was a graduate of London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts—passed her dream on to Joan and her older sister, Olivia de Havilland, who also became a famous actress.
Joan Fontaine began her movie acting career in 1935, but played mostly minor roles for several years. Her fortuitous break came when she met legendary producer, David O. Selznick, and he invited her to do a screen test for the leading role of the young Mrs. de Winter in the film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel, "Rebecca." She stood out among the numerous actresses who auditioned, landed the role and played it magnificently alongside Laurence Olivier—and won an Oscar nomination for it in 1940.
In 1941, she was cast in the lead role in Alfred Hitchcock's "Suspicion," together with Cary Grant. This role won her an Oscar award for Best Actress. Joan Fontaine's sensitive and skillful acting performances in "Rebecca," and in "Suspicion," coupled with her delicate, striking beauty, brought her into the limelight. She was subsequently cast in leading roles in many more romantic movies throughout the 1940s and 1950s. She enjoyed a successful career acting in films, on television and on stage for several decades, until the mid-1980s, after which she retired. In 1978, she published her memoirs, entitled, "No Bed of Roses." She passed away quietly and of natural causes, at her home in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on December 15, 2013.
These are five of Joan Fontaine's beloved and famous films: (You can click on the links to purchase from Amazon.)
1. "Rebecca" (1940), Selznick International Pictures, drama/mystery, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier. Joan Fontaine played the young and naive second wife of Maxim de Winter (played by Laurence Oliver), who soon learned there were many mysteries to uncover about her husband's first wife's death.
2. "Suspicion" (1941), RKO Radio Pictures, drama/mystery, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Joan Fontaine and Cary Grant. Joan Fontaine played a wealthy woman who married a very attractive and charming man (Cary Grant), and later became convinced that he had evil intentions because he was after her money. She won an Oscar award for Best Actress in this film.
3. "The Constant Nymph" (1943), Warner Brothers, drama/romance, directed by Edmund Goulding, starred Joan Fontaine as Tessa Sanger, a young Belgian woman deeply in love with an eccentric musician, acted by Charles Boyer. The problem was that Tessa's cousin was in love with the same man.
4. "Jane Eyre" (1944), Twentieth Century Fox, drama/mystery/romance, directed by Robert Stevenson, starring Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles. Joan Fontaine played the lead role in this film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's1847 gothic romance novel entitled, "Jane Eyre." She starred as Jane, the tortured orphan girl who later worked as a governess for a very wealthy man, Edward Rochester (Orson Welles), fell in love with him, but discovered there was an obstacle standing in the way of their love.
5. "Letter from an Unknown Woman" (1948), Rampart Production, drama/romance, directed by Max Ophüls, starring Joan Fontaine and Louis Jordan. Joan Fontaine played Lisa Berndl, a young woman who fell in love with a musician, Stefan Brand (Louis Jordan) when she was only 14 years old—and who loved him all her life but never saw the love returned.

text: Johannesburg - Plans are being outlined to bring more business meetings, events and conferences to South Africa, Tourism Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk said on Monday."We aim to increase the number of foreign tourist arrivals to South Africa from 7 million in 2009 to 15 million by 2020," he said at a conference in Cape Town."We hope to increase tourism's total contribution to the economy from R189bn in 2009 to R499bn by 2020, the number of domestic tourists from 14.6 million in 2009 to 18 million by 2020, and to create 225 000 new jobs by 2020."He said a strategy had been developed to improve business tourism and involved the assistance of various sectors."This sub-sector is ideally placed to address some of the seasonality challenges that are difficult to meet through leisure tourism alone."Van Schalkwyk said foreigners had seen the country's natural beauty and impressive infrastructure during the Fifa World Cup last year."What remains is for us to continually enhance and leverage this global positioning."As a country we have already secured more than 200 events for the next five years. These events will attract some 300 000 delegates to our major business tourism cities and will contribute significantly to foreign direct spend into our economy."He urged delegates to nurture the global buyers."In the aftermath of the economic recession, global buyers have become increasingly adept at driving down costs."Our task is to carefully nurture our value-for-money reputation and present diversified offerings to the business traveller."

This question already has an answer here:
- C programing suites/IDEs [duplicate] 15 answers
- What IDEs are available for Ubuntu? [closed] 23 answers
I am looking for an IDE which I can use to edit/compile/run C/C++ codes on my Ubuntu 13.04 installation. I have been checking the forum for information, and I found Anjuta being suggested by a few other users, but then I found this entry: Looking for IDE compiler to build and run a .c source file without creating a project and the user faced problems running the codes. Now, I haven't downloaded any software to try them out for the purpose yet, but I want to be sure before I download any. I am used to using Dev C++ on Windows which allows the user to create projects, compile, save and run codes. Is there anything similar for Ubuntu? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Ltd. Ed. DCD is out of print!
The Vandermark 5s first studio album in two years (and the first waxed with drummer Tim Daisy) further integrates and resolves the potent musical ideas & structural complexities that surfaced on their previous effort, 2001s experimental Acoustic Machine.
Superbly saturated to 2 analog by Shellacs Bob Weston (also at the helm on Spaceways Inc.s recent Version Soul album), Airports For Light trades in a more palpable, effortless swing than past V5 efforts. Our favorite standard bearers mastery over their own post-modern ballads has dramatically increased as well, providing a more confident command of the quieter moments & myriad compositional challenges.
If thats not enough of an endorsement (and as is now the tradition, inaugurated with 2000s Burn The Incline): the first 1500 copies of Airports contain a full-length bonus disc documenting The V5 paying tribute to their favorite tunes by jazz monolith Sonny Rollins, including his Alfie Suite, recently recorded live by Malachi Ritscher at Chicagos stalwart Empty Bottle.
Airports for Light is not to be missed if youre remotely interested in the future of jazz. It seems clear now that with every record, this remarkable quintet is forging a signature musical vocabulary... crafting a spectacular body of work mindful of the jazz canons towering antecedents, while enigmatically becoming theirs alone.

CRAZY! I understand it will mostly be Finland jobs though, which I guess is a good thing?
Here is the email:
From: Satya Nadella
To: All Employees
Date: July 17, 2014 at 5:00 a.m. PT
Subject: Starting to Evolve Our Organization and Culture
Last week in my email to you I synthesized our strategic direction as a productivity and platform company. Having a clear focus is the start of the journey, not the end. The more difficult steps are creating the organization and culture to bring our ambitions to life. Today Ill share more on how were moving forward. On July 22, during our public earnings call, Ill share further specifics on where we are focusing our innovation investments.
The first step to building the right organization for our ambitions is to realign our workforce. With this in mind, we will begin to reduce the size of our overall workforce by up to 18,000 jobs in the next year. Of that total, our work toward synergies and strategic alignment on Nokia Devices and Services is expected to account for about 12,500 jobs, comprising both professional and factory workers. We are moving now to start reducing the first 13,000 positions, and the vast majority of employees whose jobs will be eliminated will be notified over the next six months. Its important to note that while we are eliminating roles in some areas, we are adding roles in certain other strategic areas. My promise to you is that we will go through this process in the most thoughtful and transparent way possible. We will offer severance to all employees impacted by these changes, as well as job transition help in many locations, and everyone can expect to be treated with the respect they deserve for their contributions to this company.
Later today your Senior Leadership Team member will share more on what to expect in your organization. Our workforce reductions are mainly driven by two outcomes: work simplification as well as Nokia Devices and Services integration synergies and strategic alignment.
First, we will simplify the way we work to drive greater accountability, become more agile and move faster. As part of modernizing our engineering processes the expectations we have from each of our disciplines will change. In addition, we plan to have fewer layers of management, both top down and sideways, to accelerate the flow of information and decision making. This includes flattening organizations and increasing the span of control of people managers. In addition, our business processes and support models will be more lean and efficient with greater trust between teams. The overall result of these changes will be more productive, impactful teams across Microsoft. These changes will affect both the Microsoft workforce and our vendor staff. Each organization is starting at different points and moving at different paces.
Second, we are working to integrate the Nokia Devices and Services teams into Microsoft. We will realize the synergies to which we committed when we announced the acquisition last September. The first-party phone portfolio will align to Microsofts strategic direction. To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on breakthrough innovation that expresses and enlivens Microsofts digital work and digital life experiences. In addition, we plan to shift select Nokia X product designs to become Lumia products running Windows. This builds on our success in the affordable smartphone space and aligns with our focus on Windows Universal Apps.
Making these decisions to change are difficult, but necessary. I want to invite you to my monthly Q&A event tomorrow. I hope you can join, and I hope you will ask any question thats on your mind. Thank you for your support as we start to take steps forward in evolving our organization and culture.
It was obviously coming, but boy, that is a bunch o jobs.
If there was a drinking game where you had to take a shot every for every corporate buzz-word, I'd have been passed out halfway through that email. What's the limit on the number of times someone can use a form of the word "synergy" in an email? Pretty sure it was exceeded here.
I think we are going to again seen a relative flattening of hiring. Companies compressed and became more efficient after 2008. As the boomers begin to actually retire I do not see all of those jobs being fully replaced. I see the current state as now the more economic norm for many years to come.
My hope is excess unemployed labor will be able to create more small time and regional companies/ecconomies. Start ups, mom and pop things. I am young and don't know 100% what I talk about but I sure hope everyone had a good time in the 80's, 90's, and early 00's because it didn't seem like they had much foresight into the future.
Smoke um if you got um
My employer (not nearly as big as Microsoft) just recently cut around 350 jobs, which was less than 1% of total jobs in the company. People have been referring to that day of announcements as Black Wednesday for several weeks now. Lots of people were in sheer panic mode.
Can't imagine what an announcement of cutting 18,000 jobs would do to employees.
He is cleaning up the mess Balmer made by buying Nokia which was a mistake.
The Nokia jobs couldn't have been a big surprise. They've been struggling for years. Microsoft' push to make them relevant again with Windows hasn't gotten a foothold so it's time to accept the loss.

If I worked at a company that used synergy consistently, I would quit. Seriously.
I've heard a lot of corporate buzzwords, but "realize the synergies" is a new one.

So the league of extraordinary gentleman was about guys that tip 20% instead of 18%, right? That little bit extra makes them extraordinary?
Funny how employers rarely take this advice. I want to be an extraordinary employer so I'll offer 5% raises to everyone this year.

you would have alcohol poisoning. I hate things like win-win, synergy, and other stupid buzz words like those.
Synergy has been around a awhile. The other day I was on the HP website reading about a product and they described it something like a "synthetic homogenous solution"
They say country music speaks to the heart. Unfortunately, it has to go through your ears to get there.
Every company i have ever worked at loves the word "engaged". They plaster it everywhere.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

Q: What does Richard Carter do for Drake to get them started?
"I think when you look at Drake, very similar to Northern Iowa, very similar in the sense that the two guards are very quick and we have to guard them effectively and everybody around those guys can shoot the three, and that's what makes Drake so dangerous. Hopefully, we can do a better job of guarding their penetration like we did at Bradley. Whether we can do that in man or zone there's no question that those two guards are the main problem."
Q: Coach it looks as if they've got your number at home. Do you put much into trends?
"Well, let's get one thing straight, they don't have my number, they have the Salukis' number (I got that from Bob Stoops). It looks for whatever reason they've won five games here at home and I don't like that. I'm tired of getting beaten at home by Drake, and my streak is only at one and that's enough for me. We're going to really have to play well. There are venues that players get comfortable playing in and for some reason Drake got comfortable playing in ours, and we have to stop that, so hopefully our crowd will have a little to do with that."
Q: How concerned are you with freshmen Sean O'Brien playing a lot of minutes? This is the typical time of January, so do you try and run him shorter stints or not worry about it because he's playing so well right now?
"You bring up a great point. Most players that are freshmen, this is around the time where playoffs aren't too far away, and it wears on them physically and mentally. The great thing about Sean is sometimes Sean doesn't even know he's out there. He may not be able to figure that out if he's tired or not, but we're certainly aware of it and if you notice Sean has gotten better every game, and with Marcus out, we hope that Tyler Smithpeters will be fresh because he has not had the extended minutes of other freshmen."
Q: What do you have to say about Jalen's performance in the last three or four games, he hasn't been in double digits?
"I think you bring that up with Jalen. That's something we have definitely talked about. I had a conversation with Jalen yesterday and I asked him, if you aren't scoring, what are you doing good? And I think that's a valid point for a lot of our guys. Everybody is saying Dez this, Dez that, but it's other guys that can help us with this process and Jalen is certainly one of those guys."
Q: Maybe you should start him then?
"No, I've already seen how he handles success and he doesn't handle it very well. It's proven that he is a lot better coming off of the bench than he is starting."
Q: Drake has struggled rebounding-wise, numbers wise. Is there anything you've seen that makes you think you can rebound with them?
"Well yeah, I think it's really important for us to rebound well, period. To me, I'll go back to Murray State when I said size doesn't matter. Hopefully, this doesn't make the national news this time, but I really believe that. I think when it comes to rebounding it's about your heart and effort and I'm a firm believer in that. I think it's those guys who want to pursue to get the basketball and has that relentless ability to just say I'm going to get the ball, and I think that's what comes down to rebounding. Everybody else talks about positioning and this, and I think that's big, but I don't think its as near as big as your heart."
Q: Are they a team that has a lot of long rebounds because they shoot so many threes?
"Yeah, they've got a lot of long rebounds because of their threes and they put a lot of guys out there that have a quickness and athleticism that can chase down those rebounds."
Q: Is this a big game as far as the conference race when you look at it?
"I think right now, specifically this game is big because you're playing someone that's locked in there, they're just one game behind us. It's not like there's one team here and one team there. We're just one game better than Drake right now, and their overall record's better than ours. We're certainly the underdog in our own building, but at the same time, I think this is a big game. I know everybody says every game's a big game, but I think when you get paired with those guys that are at the bottom with you, that's when your separation takes place, so I do think this is a big game for us."
Q: Everybody's healthy? Any changes to the lineup expected tomorrow night?
"Everybody's healthy right now. I do think there will be a change to the lineup, but at the same time I will base that on how we practice today and how we do through the shoot-around tomorrow. I'm gonna stick with my guns. Whoever practices the hardest, whoever has the best attitude, those are the guys that we're gonna play and those are the guys we're gonna start with."

The 37th annual Bellevue Picnic took place on Sat., May 15, 2014 at Red Caboose Park. Promoted as "a day of food, fun music & friends" the community picnic lived up to its motto as the neighborhood park and the adjoining community center grounds were covered with tents, games, food trucks, tables, and lots and lots of people of all ages, even though the day was partially overcast and cool.
Festival goers had to run the gauntlet of political hopefuls who pressed cards and fliers into their hands before making it to the vendors' booths. After being crowded by pleasant politicians, the pathway opened up to the fun stuff: pony rides, inflatable rides, food trucks, mechanical rides, a little train, and booths from churches, local schools, Bellevue banks, balloon animals, the Bellevue Microtel, publications and other local businesses.
The 2014 Bellevue Picnic was held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the neighborhood Red Caboose Park. Vendors were already signing up for next year's event. The picnic is sponsored by the Bellevue (Harpeth) Chamber of Commerce.

Bring back the leaderboards for individual topics
Having individual leaderboards for topics makes learning more competitive and fun. You can give high fives to people you overtake on the leaderboard. Anyone else with the same opinion?
But I don't remember leaderboards per course or language - were they an earlier feature?
oh yes. It was to the right side if you'd open the main page of any topic
+1. I really miss this feature. It was very convenient and inspired me to competition ).
My recollection is that the leaderboard on the right side of the topic page was actually the leaderboard for your cohort. A bit confusing, which perhaps is why it's gone.
Maybe I'm wrong but I remember that there was just topic relative leaderboard. I saw there people no one of which was my cohort. And it was very interesting to check out personal progress with people who learn the same language.

Most people believe that it is permissible to kill a nonresponsible threat, or someone who threatens one's life without exercising agency. Defenders of this view must show that there is a morally relevant difference between nonresponsible threats and innocent bystanders. Some philosophers, including Jonathan Quong and Helen Frowe, have attempted to do this by arguing that one who kills a bystander takes advantage of another person, while one who kills a threat does not. In this paper, I show that the proposals offered by Quong and Frowe have unacceptable implications. I then argue that those who claim that nonresponsible threats may be killed face a dilemma generated by the possibility of a stationary threat, or someone who endangers another person's life without moving. Unless we arbitrarily distinguish between stationary and moving nonresponsible threats, it is unclear how the permission to kill nonresponsible threats is to be explicated. I conclude that nonresponsible threats are not legitimate targets of self-defence.

Research has shown that while salary and
benefits are important to employee retention, job
satisfaction may be the most important factor of
all. That said, a major tenet of job satisfaction is
not just being a cog in the wheel, following the
commands of the boss to avoid reprimand or
firing, says Johnson. Rising generations of employees expect to be challenged, recognized, and
trusted for their talents, Johnson says. If they
don't get it at your company, they're prepared
to move on.
"Retention is all about people really enjoying being at work," he adds. "They have to feel
needed, wanted, and that they are using their talent. One of the key things that creates employee
satisfaction is when a company allows people to
take initiative or be creative. Everyone wants to
be some kind of leader, but we all can't be the
CEO or president. Empowerment allows them
to make some decisions and tackle some problems on their own."
But empowerment strategies aren't for management teams only. Frontline employees also
want to be challenged and respected for their
judgment and ideas, Johnson says. Plus, these
employees directly impact customer satisfaction
on a daily basis, making empowerment a critical
management strategy, too.
The hierarchal structure that once dominated
the workplace no longer is the best model for
success in today's increasingly customer-cen-tered market, Johnson suggests. "A mistake that
a lot of CEOs and higher executives make is that
they don't really understand that they don't have
to have all the answers," he says. "That's why
you surround yourself with a capable and competent team. A good leader hires people to help
compensate for [his or her] weaknesses."
For empowerment to be a successful strategy,
CEOs must take the first step and implement it
with their top executive team members. Empowerment then becomes part of the corporate culture
and trickles down to all levels of the company.
Where empowerment breaks down is when
leaders can't let go—often because they think they
can accomplish the task more quickly and better
than anyone else. "Many CEOs, presidents, and
members of executive management confuse delegation with empowerment," Johnson says. "The
difference between delegation and empowerment
is rather than telling people what to do, you set
out the problem and let people figure out what
to do."
Ultimately, empowerment can only work if
executives are willing to accept that employees
will make mistakes, Johnson adds. Those mistakes can cost the company money, but the loss
needs to be balanced with the benefits of empowerment, such as employee retention. Employees
feel valued and are more likely to stay when their
employer is willing to invest in their professional development.
Johnson advises companies to link empowerment strategies with
a coaching/mentoring program, so that mistakes are positioned
as learning opportunities that can help employees progress to the
next level.
The Ritz-Carlton Co. is well-known for its service culture of "ladies and gentlemen serving
ladies and gentlemen." Hampton Inn Hotels &
Suites has empowered staff at any level to authorize money back for a dissatisfied customer.
Still, companies must be careful not to offer
"pseudo-empowerment," says Lizz Chambers,
vice president, human resources and training for
Williamsburg, Virginia-based Newport Hospitality Group (NHG), a hotel management company
that operates 25 upscale and mid-scale hotels
in the eastern United States. She describes a
"pseudo-empowerment management style" as
one in which associates are made to think they
have the power to impact company attitudes to
make them work harder, when in fact they don't
really have that power. When Chambers teaches
empowerment classes, she often will hear employees say they lack empowerment on the job,
while supervisors and general managers say
they extend it. Employees know the difference,
Chambers says.
When employees are reprimanded for a decision contrary to what the manager would have
made or in some way they are not supported,
they say, OK, you told me I have the power, but I
don't. "Once they feel they don't have protection,
they stop making decisions," Chambers says.
Chambers compares empowerment to motivation. Leaders must create an environment that
motivates or empowers, rather than try to control
everyone's actions. In other words, managers
should guide employees so that they will learn
to lead themselves.
NHG employees are armed with three Ps,
which are posted throughout all departments:
"Permission to take care of guests" is the number one priority. "Power to do whatever is necessary to take care of guests, as long as it is
ethical, legal, and moral" is next. And lastly,
employees have "protection that if a decision is
made in the best interest of guests, an employee
will never be reprimanded or punished," even if
the decision is not one the supervisor or manager would have made. The goal is to ensure
employees are able to handle a guest complaint
on the spot, never making the guest wait while they speak with
management or, worse, leave the property without resolving the
issue. Likewise, Chambers asserts that "empowerment begets
empowerment," meaning that the more staff exercise their own
decision-making, the more they will feel empowered to do so.

According to a detailed spec sheet obtained by Engadget, these include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UMTS/HSDPA, and Assisted GPS on the wireless front as well as USB, HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Battery life is rated at an impressive 48 hours of standby juice, also good for 8 hours of video playback or 16 hours of browsing. There's also a digital compass, accelerometer, proximity, ambient light, and water sensors, a 3MP autofocus camera that can record video, and either a 16 GB or 32 GB SSD for storage -- expandable through an SD memory slot.
The use of a Pixel Qi display and ARM-based processor will allow Notion Ink's Adam to function as either an e-book reader or a fully functional Android-based computer (sans the physical keyboard). An exact price point hasn't been officially announced yet, but Engadget believes the device will land at around $320.


text: I got a reply from the Czech Ministry of Defense (MOD) concerning my request for a copy of the manual used by the MOD for the 9 mm pistole vz.82 (9 PI 82). They said that "Use and handling instructions are provided under the Del 21-28 manual, specifically the part titled 9 mm pistole vz.82.". But they could not supply me with a copy because the pistol is still in use. If anyone in the Czech Republic has this manual lying around I would like to purchase it.
