It's a smell, a moment, a memory. Hand gestures, facial expressions, jokes.
So much of our lives are expressed in ways that cannot be put into translatable words or expressions. Anthony Burgess once said,
Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.
My husband makes me so aware of this all the time, not just because English is his third language and there are moments of total miscommunication or lost humor, but because so much of who he is is often explained in cliches and phrases so unique not just to his first language, but his region and even his city. Example:
"Arrieros somos y en el camino, cuadramos las cargas."* I don't know of an idiom in English to fully express what this means — perhaps "we'll take things as they come"– but even if I could, the full cultural context would be lost. And this phrase seems to describe his philosophy on life, love and marriage. Imagine that.
There are so many times when talking to someone who's first language is not English, or when I'm trying to speak in a language not originally my own, that I find there are so many things that just cannot be translated accurately. My sarcasm is only one of them…. Those subtle, context-reliant meanings that native speakers (usually) instinctively "know" about their language. And I think about how hard it must be to be a child and be trying to learn and advance academically in your second language and not even be fully conscious of these lingual transgressions, leaps, and difficulties so that when they do occur, the frustration and confusion must be so grand and yet so intangible. Well, as an ESL teacher and as someone who has her heart set on becoming fluent in more than one other foreign language, I felt this title describes so much of what my everyday life is like. Attempting, constantly, to find new and old words to explain things often impossible to put into words, and then trying to make sense of it through others' languages as well.
Rough translation: My husband is from a valley city and the arrieros were the "movers" if you will, who took people's belongings from city to city, across daring mountain peaks on mules – if you owned it, it went on somebody's or something's back and made it to its destination. And, along the way, they would fix whatever they needed to, to make sure nothing fell and they kept going where they intended and needed to go.
Some people would be able to easily think of an English idiom to explain the gist of this. But my heart grows full with the imagery and the textures of the culture that quote comes from that simply cannot be translated — especially not in a simple, "I just want to get my point across" kind of conversation. Life untranslated.
You might notice some of my own "word transgressions". I make up words, hyphenate marginally-relatable ideas, creating my own phrases, etc. Blame Joss Whedon.

Welcome, reader. My name is Maggie Lee and I'm a freelance reporter based in Atlanta, over in East Lake.My interests include eating local food and growing my own food. I grew 32 lbs of sweet potatoes in a mound of a 6×9 foot plot one year.I narrowly dodged a career in academia after a BS in International Relations at Georgia Tech and an MA in Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. I came home to Atlanta, and got into writing via a fact-checking job at the alas-now-defunct Southern Center for International Studies. From there, I got into journalism — first sports business of all things — then eventaully freelancing.One day, an editor serendipitously sent me to the state capitol, where I found my inner politics nerd.

Please ask Me. Manning if we have to file an appeal if we have an incorrect appraisal notice, or is that overkill? I just worry that the same issue will plague the bills and then the time to appeal will be over if I wait. How do they know this same issue won't get applied to the bills? This is the government, right? So safe to assume they will make many errors.

Nice design, little content, and many, many mistakes!!!!!
I like the idea of refreshing my Spanish vocabulary with flashcards, but the app lacks professionalism. There are many mistakes. For example, terrible is "terrible" and not "horrible" in Spanish, to my knowledge desk is "escritorio" and not "mesa", and jewelry is "joyas" not "joyeria", joyeria means jewelry store. These are examples of rather big mistakes, not to mention that many other flashcards are confusing, ambiguous or too freely translated. For example the flashcard "Q: Things are fine; A: Estan bien." is confusing. Without context this flashcard would translate into "They are ok" and not "Things are fine". This app needs to be improved!
Trip to Mexico City
This was very helpful when I visited Mexico City. I was able to communicate about half of what I needed and the other half was met by Mexican people with a little English. Very successful and a lot of fun!
I love the "favorites" feature.
I would love to see a category for food in addition to the restaurant category. It would be helpful when ordering off menus to comprehend the ingredient descriptions. Example: mushroom, green peppers etc...
Helpful... and well worth the cost
I have been using this recently in those "found moments" that pop up during the day. For learning and refreshing some very basic Spanish, this is a convenient method. If it were about double the size (more words and phrases), I would rate it five stars... but even in the present state of the app, it is worth the 99 cents.

The producers of Oleanna, the Broadway revival of the tense David Mamet drama, announced today that they will be closing the show on January 3rd, 2010. The production, which enjoyed a successful run in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum earlier this year, transferred to Broadway's John Golden Theatre in late September. The play stars actor Bill Pullman (who was previously seen on Broadway in The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?) as a college professor and Julia Stiles (Shakespeare in the Park's Twelfth Night) as his disgruntled student. Each performance of the show has been followed by a lively audience talk-back where people discuss the motives and actions of the two characters in this very controversial play about power, education, and gender politics.

"Do the Bartman" is a pop rap song from the 1990 Simpsons album The Simpsons Sing the Blues. It was performed by The Simpsons cast member Nancy Cartwright and was released as a promotional single from the album on November 20, 1990. The song was written and produced by American recording artist Michael Jackson, and Bryan Loren. Although Jackson did not receive any credit because he was under contract to another record label, he was a fan of The Simpsons—especially the character Bart—and had called the producers one night offering to write Bart a number-one single and do a guest spot on the show.
I never knew MJ wrote this song.

Aponic Ltd have developed a vertical soil-less growing system that uses 90% less water than traditional agriculture, runs on rain water and solar power, does not emit harmful run-off into the environment and massively reduces the need for fossil fuels in food production.
Our domestic models easily mount on a sunny outside wall, fence panel or in a conservatory and require no digging, weeding or watering, just planting and harvesting.
They can be mounted at a height that is convenient so that everyone can join in the fun of growing healthy, tasty non GMO food that you know has been grown without pesticides and weed killers.
In commercial use, we can turn acreage into volume to expand the growing area in expensive greenhouses because we can grow long rows vertically upwards in the footprint of a single plant.
The 90% water savings and massively reduced labour costs we can make it easy to turn unproductive land into low input, high value output, low carbon growing areas. This means that contaminated and otherwise unusable land in town can be used to grow food from all over the world with zero food miles.
Most fruit, veg, herbs and salad crops will thrive in the system so you have to carefully choose the quantity and size of plants you put in, you usually get greater yeilds from the plants in this system so be prepared to experiment.
Herbs are great; basil, mint, thyme and oregano work really well, not to mention the tasty food crops. We love to grow spinach, tomatoes, kale, strawberries, cucumbers, melons, garlic, peas, lettuces and peppers to name just a few personal favourites.
Source: The Times, 13 December 2013
A vertical system that sprays the plant roots with a nutrient mix so that they get the correct quantities of nutrient and water and they also get good oxygen circulation and absorbtion to aid fast, healthy growth.
The nutriant in this method is created using the ammonia from fish waste which is converted to nitrate in the grow tubes by natural nitrifying bacteria. This enables two crops, one of fish, one of vegetables and the more you feed the fish, the more the plants grow.

NBC's 'Hannibal' to return in February
Bryan Fuller and David Slade's "Hannibal" was one of my very favorite series of 2013, an imaginative and visually stunning reboot of Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham that managed to shake off all the dust that had accumulated around the characters over several decades, film adaptations and imitators. But it was also a very low-rated show that was renewed by NBC largely because it's an international co-production that costs less than their other dramas.
But it's coming back, and sooner than expected: on Friday, February 28th at 10 p.m., as the show continues the role reversal between Mads Mikkelsen's Dr. Lecter and Hugh Dancy's Will. (See the season 2 poster below for a better look at Will-as-Hannibal.) Fuller and I discussed the first season and where the show might go next back in the late spring.
"Hannibal" is in the timeslot that was supposed to be home to "Crossbones," a pirate drama starring John Malkovich. Still awaiting word on what that show's fate will be now. UPDATE: NBC says the "Crossbones" premiere and timeslot are now TBD.

February 17, 2009 -- this is a date that been burned into the memories of people across the United States. There have been numerous TV commercials talking about the switch and even local TV stations have gotten in on the act with their own infomercials on the switch from analog to digital TV (DTV) signals.
President-elect Obama and his transition team, however, have a different take on the DTV switch. The $1.34 billion USD fund that the federal government setup to provide American households with $40 DTV converter box coupons has been depleted. Because of the shortfall, there are currently 103,000 people on the waiting list to receive coupons according to USA Today.
John Podesta, Co-chair of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team fired off a letter to Congress proclaiming that the funds provided for the coupon program were "woefully inadequate" and that the DTV switch should be pushed back.
"The government's programs to assist consumers through the upheaval of the conversion are inadequately funded," said Podesta. "There is insufficient support for the problems consumers (particularly low income, rural and elderly Americans) will experience as a result of the analog signal cutoff."
Podesta added, "With coupons unavailable, support and education insufficient, and the most vulnerable Americans exposed, I urge you to consider a change to the legislatively-mandated analog cutoff date."
Podesta also noted that a portion of Obama's Economic Recovery Package has additional funds necessary to provide additional coupons to Americans who have not yet received them, however, more time is needed to get the coupons into the hands of Americans that need them.
According to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, the February 17 cutoff date would leave 16 percent of America's nearly 115 million television households without TV service.
quote: Problem is digital stations can't boost their power output yet until the analog stations shut their transmitters off.
quote: dtv.gov is carefully not mentioning what resolution will be used for DTV.
quote: So much for "Change"...
quote: Your disabled and your wife is out of a job and you're worried about your TV?
quote: Or do all poor people get to die from nuclear fallout?
quote: If you ever looked around, and thought: "Could this be true? Is there that many idiots in the world today?" Well I am here to answer your question: "Yes, yes there is." And its not just in one country either, there are huge populations of idiots worldwide.
quote: The difference is the government didn't kill the tape player content. The tape player content providers did that.
quote: "Did the government ever give anyone a coupon to buy a car when the horse and buggy went obsolete?" Did the government kill all the horses when they were "obsolete"? Did the tape players stop working when CDs came out? Did the government mandate all cell carriers turn of 2G when 3G came out? See my point?

Bobo-Dioulasso Things to Do
Grande mosquée, visit of the interior
It is posslbie to visit the interior of the mosque for an entrance fee of 1.000CFA. The son of the imam showed us around. We could also climb to the rooftop. For me it was the first time to be allowed and enter a mosque made of mud from the inside. In the main part of the mosque are corridors and huge columns. This is the praying section of the...more
Grande mosquée, Sudanese mud...
One of the highlights of Bobo is the Grande Mosquée built in 1893. It is an outstanding example of Sudanese mud architecture. The white structure with conical towers and its dark wooden sticks looks spectaculair. First in Bobo I found out that those sticks are for replastering and not only a part of the construction. This old mosque of Bobo is the...more
A private museum gives insight into...
Between the two villages of Ouahabou and Houndé alongside the national road N1 there is a small village named Boni. Hidden in the second row of houses is a small but fine museum. It exhibit, among other, masks of the Mossi culture. Of course it is not the national museum, but it's always worth for a stop.Not far a way is a restaurant, where cold...more
Only once in a year .........
.... a big fishing event takes place 15km ahead of Bobo-Dioulasso on a small lake alongside the road N1.When the water-level of the lake reached a certain level by evaporation, the officials allow the villagers to go for fishing. The catfishes get trapped by a basket and than they can be easily caught and get out by hand trough the small opening at...more
Visite de la Grand Mosque de Dioulasso
For 1000F CFA you can visit the inside of the mosque.If you are lucky you get guided by the Imam or his deputy - just put off your shoes and the tour can start.The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso, a unique Sudanese mud architecture was built in 1880.The interior consists of two praying sections - one for men, the other for women. The men section is...more
Grand Marche
The big market is in the center of town and hard to miss. If you enjoy checking out what the locals are selling and buying, then by all means visit this fairly easy going market(by African standards anyway). Although bustling and pretty big, this market is less claustrophobic and less jam packed as others in West Africa.more
Explore the old town
Taking a look around the old town in the Kibidoue district is interesting and worthwhile. You might as well hire a guide, as you will be asked nonstop until you've hired one. Here you will see a neighborhood of traditional dwellings in a winding maze of narrow alleys. Scattered about are sites where animal scarifices take place, as evidence by the...more
Day Trip to Banfora
From Bobo it's easy to catch a bus for Banfora in the morning and then return in the early evening. Banfora has a number of must see attractions, including the town itself, Karfiguela Falls, and Lake Tengrela, where hippos can be observed.more
Kibidwe District
This old part of town should be an embarassment for the government due to it's terribly poor sanitation, but it is the historical center. Here drinking water, laundry, and garbage are all within a few feet of the other. When the Bobo tribes established the city as a neutral ground for trade and this neighborhood was formed before the French arrived...more
People Watching in Bobo
I provide here a few more portraits of the interesting people found on the streets of Bobo Dioulasso.more
Kibidwe District People
The architecture is rather bland, so the street activity is often the greater interest. The ordinary daily lives of Kibidwe is what interests tourists most.more
Grand Marche
Because of it's central location at the cross roads of numerous tribes, Bobo Dioulasso's Grand Marche has a great selection of tribal arts not only from Burkina Faso, but from all across West Africa. In the streets outside the market are also a number of such tribal art vendors. Within the market, one can browse the frabrics, motor parts, cooking...more

The Food Doesn't Justify the Price
I went to this place not realizing just how elegant it is. It's in a beautiful setting around a picturesque pool. It's all very nice, but the food is disappointing for the most part. The fish was pretty lame and unfortunately deep fried....and was served with unexciting french fries. The only thing tasty was the avocado appetizer. Not worth the...more
Worst Meal I Had In Africa
This open air place looked nice enough, so I sat down and ordered a selection called " Grilled chicken with vegetables". When it arrived what I saw was a bunch of gristle and bone and no vegetables whatsoever. After a few minutes of desperately tring to pick tiny slivers of meat off of some of the bones, I gave up and told the waitress that I was...more
Bobo-Dioulasso Nightlife
Live Music in Bobo
Les Bambous is an open air place that has live performances most nights. The place is VERY dark, so much so that you might not be able to see what you are eating or drinking! There is a nice atmosphere here, only marred by the creepy guys who hang around preying on female tourists. If you wan't live local music....this is your joint. Casual....so...more
Great Outdoor Bar and Traditional Live...
Les Bambous is a good place to listen to traditional music on any given night while sipping a drink. It's outdoors, so during the rainy season, the situation is variable, and obviously on the weekend, the bands are generally better. Locals will come and contribute to the excitement. Sorry I don't have any still images to show. We took video and I...more

Bobo-Dioulasso Transportation
Onward Buses From Bobo
From Bobo, you might be headed by bus to Banfora, which is a short 1.5 hrs/1000CFA($2), or to Ouagadagou, a 5 hr trip at around 5000CFA($10). Buses vary in size, comfort, and price. In general, sevice and comfort beats the hell out of neighboring Ghana's jacked up transport system. On some of the smaller buses, big bags are tied up on top instead...more

Bobo-Dioulasso Shopping
Custom Tailored Clothing in Bobo
Ready fit men's and women's clothing are a big part of the Grand Marche, but one can also select the fabric and have a custom tailored shirt done within a few hours. Belinda wanted a dress tailored, so our guide introduced us to a local tailor in a shop a couple blocks away that carefully fitted her and considered her fashion demands. The work was...more
Bobo-Dioulasso has some amazing shops to buy souvenirs. Although it was hard to find some souvenirs directly related to Bobo-Dioulasso I did find this dagger. Dealing with the sellers was also fun. Unlike most places in West Africa where the people selling stuff were annoying, these were quite nice. I could stay there for the better part of a day...more
Walking on the street
You will be able to buy a lot of things in the streets, food, wood, species, etc... As always women are in charge of the commercial dutiesPodrás encontrar todo tipo de puestos callejeros donde comprar frutas, maderas, especias, etc.... Como siempre las mujeres se encargan de las gestiones comerciales.more
Bobo-Dioulasso Local Customs
French Fried Catapillers
I was nervous to try them, but once I did, I was sold. Africans love to eat what California farmers would spray with pesticides. The French fried catapillers are salty, having the crunch of a good snack, like pretzels or popcorn. Don't be afraid! Try them, you'll like them. I would avoid any uncooked sauces offered to go with them though for sanitary reasons only. To bad these aren't sold in the USA. They would be good with beer.Related to:

Bobo-Dioulasso Off The Beaten Path
A Couple Outside Bobo Dioulasso
We passed the grounds of the new Burkina Faso University, which was still constructing roads and stringing power cables. Nearby we stopped to visit farmer buildings of a style I hadn't seen before. A middle aged couple lived and worked there. The man described how his father fought in WWI, and how the couple had lost their children. It was a sad...more
A Family Outside Bobo Dioulasso Invites...
At my urging, Mamoudou pulled the scooter off the trail to where we could stop and talk to a family. Several sisters were there doing errands. Their grandmother sat and pounded meal with a rock. Eventually, a mother and brother and many cousins came, and I took portraits of them all. Some of these images are posted elsewhere. The younger women had...more
Beyond Koumi
My guide drove the scooter off the road near Koumi and onto a bumpy little foot trail that looped through the countryside and around past a preserve of sorts where a river flowed through. Mostly, I enjoyed the rural agriculture in progress. In the next tip, I'll show some images of a particular family that welcomed us to visit their home.more

Trail of Dead rides the edge of intensity at Cactus Club
Chaos, wildness, freedom, anarchy: Rock 'n' roll doesn't really embody these states of being; it only simulates them. Some bands are simply better at verisimilitude than others.
At the Cactus Club on Friday night, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead created an extraordinary 3-D simulation of lighted fuses, anticipatory countdowns and shrapnel-filled explosions. »Read Full Article

October 22, 2007 10:49 AM - Nellie Andreeva
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are making their first joint producing effort with an HBO series about aid workers.
The untitled drama will explore the behind-the scenes politics of an international aid organization, and chronicle the lives of humanitarian workers assigned to dangerous zones and the needy people they assist.
Jolie and Pitt will serve as executive producers, along with Scott Burns, who will write the pilot. Burns co-wrote "The Bourne Ultimatum" and was a producer of "An Inconvenient Truth."
Cancer survival is not influenced by a patient's emotional status
October 22, 2007 07:55 AM - University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
A patient's positive or negative emotional state has no direct or indirect effect on cancer survival or disease progression, according to a large scale new study. Published in the December 1, 2007 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study found that emotional well-being was not an independent factor affecting the prognosis of head and neck cancers.
Don't go near the baobab at Nigerian heritage site
October 22, 2007 12:43 AM - Estelle Shirbon
SUKUR, Nigeria (Reuters) - Visitors to Sukur are warned not to approach a certain ancient baobab tree because, villagers say, it turns people into hermaphrodites.
It is an atmospheric introduction to this Nigerian World Heritage Site for the trickle of outsiders who come, but villagers who trek up and down from the remote hillside community are ready for an injection of modernity.
A road would be a start.
Oceans seen soaking up less CO2
October 20, 2007 04:22 PM -
LONDON (Reuters) - The world's oceans appear to be soaking up less carbon dioxide, new environmental research has shown, a development that could speed up global warming.
A 10-year study by researchers from the University of East Anglia has shown that the uptake of CO2 by the North Atlantic ocean halved between the mid-1990s and 2002-2005.
California To Sue EPA next week on Carmaker Emissions Waiver
October 20, 2007 04:16 PM -
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California will sue the Environmental Protection Agency next week in the state's bid to crack down on greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, a spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Saturday.
California will file a lawsuit against the EPA demanding the right to set its own limits on vehicle emissions that are stricter than national standards, spokesman Aaron McLear said.
California, which has become a leader on environmental issues in the United States, passed a state law in 2005 that would require new vehicles to meet progressively tighter standards for greenhouse gas emissions starting with 2009 models.
USDA Approves Chip Implants that Cause Cancer Tumors
October 19, 2007 06:47 PM -
Over the past couple of years, the OCA has reported on the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), a set of controversial, mandatory regulations the U.S. federal government claims to have abandoned to the states, but in fact is still pushing, specifically, in the 2007 Farm Bill. NAIS would require that all farmers and farm animal owners implant their animals with a computer chip, even those who just own a single cow, horse, chicken or other farm animal.
New strain of strep emerges as major U.S. infection
October 19, 2007 10:11 AM - Maggie Fox -Reuters
A new strain of bacteria is emerging as a major cause of childhood infections but even drug-resistant versions of the bug can be killed off with the right antibiotics, doctors said on Thursday. Doctors and parents should be aware of it, however, and switch antibiotics for children with severe infections who do not respond quickly to standard therapy.
Doctors warn of harm from kids' cough, cold drugs
October 18, 2007 12:25 PM - Lisa Richwine, Reuters
SILVER SPRING, Maryland (Reuters) - Over-the-counter cough and cold medicines can be dangerous for young children and there is no evidence they work, doctors told a U.S. advisory panel on Thursday.
A week ago, major makers voluntarily pulled cough and cold drugs for children up to age 2. But physicians are pushing the government to restrict marketing for use up to age 6.
"Cough and cold products pose genuine risks when given to children under the age of 6 with no associated benefit," Dr. Michael Shannon, professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, told a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel.
Experimental malaria vaccine works in babies
October 17, 2007 01:14 PM - Ben Hirschler
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A study involving nearly 3,500 women in several countries suggests that Chinese herbs might be more effective in relieving menstrual cramps than drugs, acupuncture or heat compression.
Australia-based researchers said herbs not only relieved pain, but reduced the recurrence of the condition over three months, according to the Cochrane Library journal.
"All available measures of effectiveness confirmed the overall superiority of Chinese herbal medicine to placebo, no treatment, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), OCPs (oral contraceptive pill), acupuncture and heat compression," said lead author Xiaoshu Zhu from the Centre for Complementary Medicine Research at the University of Western Sydney.
Israel's Mediterranean: a "septic tank"
October 17, 2007 09:44 AM - Tova Cohen, Reuters
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - The Mediterranean is often called the world's most polluted sea and the waters around Tel Aviv offer a reason why.
Heavy metals and pesticides are discharged into the sea under government licenses, environmentalists say, and the company responsible for the sewage of the area's 2.5 million people is the biggest polluter in the eastern Mediterranean.
"The state of Israel's coastal waters is appalling," the environmental group Zalul said in its State of the Sea Report for 2007.

Tuesday Evenings began in the fall of 1991 and grew out of an effort to make the Modern more available to its public and to include that public in a conversation about current art-related ideas and events within the Metroplex and beyond. I attended the lectures before working at the Modern, but developed a keen relationship with the program when I became Curator of Education in November 1994. Organizing Tuesday Evenings was one of many exciting challenges when I began the job, but it was also one of my favorites—and it still is.
The new school year has begun and the busy days of Art Camp are over. Here are some highlights from the Modern's summer programs:

Rocky Mount, NC: The holiday spirit is growing as preparations get underway for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" at North Carolina Wesleyan College. Hosted by the college as an annual gift to the community, the family-friendly free event has delighted audiences for more than 5 years.
The curtain goes up on Thursday November 29, 2012 at 7:30 pm for one performance of this special story. The community is invited to enjoy the show in the comfortable seats in the Minges Auditorium of the NC Wesleyan College Dunn Center for the Performing Arts on the Rocky Mount campus.
The Pageant is actually a humorous play written by Barbara Robinson. The plot features the belligerent Herdsman children who decide to participate in a church Christmas pageant. Hilarity ensues as the dismayed church members struggle to manage the mayhem in their production of the Christmas story.
The hour-long play is directed by Wesleyan professor of theatre Roger Drake. The talented cast involves children as young as 3, college students, and community members taking on a wide range of roles including angels, church ladies, firemen, shepherds, and wise men.
As an added feature this year, the Pageant cast is asking the community to help support two local initiatives. One of the young cast members, 10-year old Joshua Moore, recently launched an annual toy drive for children in need. In support of his efforts, the cast is asking the audience to consider bringing unwrapped new or gently used children's toys or books to be given to children who may not otherwise receive a gift during the holidays.
In addition, the audience is asked to consider bringing canned goods for donation to a local food pantry. All donated items will be placed under the college Christmas tree in the Dunn Center lobby. Santa Claus will be stopping by after the Pageant to check out the collection and to visit with all of the children who attend the performance.

"I absolutely loved the save the dates. They showed up a week early. They're very thick and durable, surprisingly much so even. They just look fantastic; absolutely beautiful!! :D"
"I was looking for something different because we are having a cocktail party as a reception. I thought it was a great idea and they were super cute coasters"
"Recently purchased in Cream. I really love it! The only thing that is disappointing is the gold part is not metallic but just printed gold. Still looks good but would be better with actual foil. But Overall we love it!"
"Love this idea for a save the date! Printing was quick and customer service was helpful and easy to work with! I was so excited to get these, and they exceeded my expectations!"
"Great Save the Date (STD). Thick card stock, crisp colors, and easy to read. Bought them sight unseen as we're getting marred in four months and time is of the essence. People have LOVED getting them - I've gotten a text from just about every recipient who is currently using it as a coaster. Also these DO fit in the given envelopes, but just a little tightly like a Netflix DVD sleeve so it doesn't bend in the mail. Would order again!"

'Great conference, full of thought provoking collegial debates and excellent networking' (delegate comment on Twitter).
'a great opportunity to learn about new directions in research in a friendly environment where everyone seemed very approachable and helpful' (delegate email).
The Assessment in Higher Education Conference is expanding and diversifying. Whilst we will continue to hold the main conference bi-annually, we are now involved in two other initiatives in developing and debating assessment matters in higher education internationally.
Firstly, we are teaming up with the Australian based Transforming Assessment Webinar Series run by Geoffrey Crisp from RMIT and Mathew Hillier from Monash University. The collaboration has yet to be finalised but will involve AHE suggesting speakers for the webinar series, a potential on-line conference track to supplement our face to face events, and co-publicity of each other's activities. Our hope is to make AHE a more 'blended' organisation, significantly increasing participation and sharing more widely the excellent material that delegates already present in the biannual conference.
Secondly, we are planning a smaller 2016 event which will build on the 2015 conference. Entitled Transforming Assessment and Feedback in Higher Education: the challenge of change at institutional level, this one-day seminar will take place in Manchester on Thursday 30th June 2016.
The keynote speaker will be Professor Sue Bloxham and we are seeking proposals for short presentations. It is designed to be a very interactive and lively day drawing on and debating multiple examples of transforming assessment. If you would like to submit a proposal, please use this link
Finally, the Assessment in Higher Education Conference is delighted to announce two changes to the Executive Committee. The President of the conference for the next three years is Professor Kay Sambell from the University of Northumbria. The role of Committee Chair for the 2017 conference is
Professor Pete Boyd from the University of Cumbria. Pete replaces Sue Bloxham who has led the conference since its inauguration in 2008 and we thank Sue for her longstanding contribution.

It's fair to say that mixed martial arts films are the red-headed step children of the movie industry. Then again, that would be a bit harsh on red-headed stepchildren who haven't really done anything to earn our ire. MMA movies, on the other hand, have done very little right since they started appearing in DVD bargain bins throughout the country.
Sure, we've had the occasional decent flick like Warrior. There are even some terrific documentaries out there. But most who try to cash-in on MMA's popularity end up creating the kind of movie that makes Gigli look like Oscar-bait.
And that's actually the good news. If MMA movies were just bad, there would be no entertainment value. Like The Room, many of the films transcend mere badness to the point that they become wildly entertaining.
So, without further delay, read on for a rundown of the top five MMA movies that are so terrible you might actually get a kick out of them.

Research and Markets recently predicted that the health care data analytics market will grow to more than $34.27 billion by the end of 2022. Though the majority of organizations understand the value of a business intelligence platform, many are still perplexed when it comes to choosing the best solution for their organization. Add to that the mass of health care analytics myths that are plaguing the industry and the selection process can quickly become tedious and overwhelming.
To ease the process, business intelligence provider Dimensional Insight, which was named 2015/2016 "Best in KLAS" in business intelligence/analytics, is debunking the top five health care analytics myths to allow companies to choose the best platform based on their organizational needs.

Intro Printmaking: Image Construction I: Line + Sequence
Course No. PRI 200 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Maggie Denk-Leigh
Printmaking grows out of an experimental approach to image construction closely aligned to both the kinetic practice of drawing and the mechanical possibilities inherent in the crafting of a matrix for reproduction. Students participating in this course will interrogate what defines a "print," using line and sequence as the visual language allowing introspection and clarification of ideological concepts. Course exploration includes intaglio and relief processes, an introduction to the history of the field, printing of a matrix supporting discoveries of the limited edition and narrative aspects of multiple impressions. The body of work students produce in this course will be informed by the history of printmaking, the critical dialogue surrounding contemporary art and print media in particular, and should reveal student's development of skill and sensitivity to the printed impression quality, visually articulating the individual's aesthetic voice. Open to all students as an introductory-level course. Encouraged for second and third year students with a drawing emphasis as an elective studio. Required for second-year Print majors. Offered fall.

Given the state's large area and small population, students in South Dakota may find distance-learning programs to be a practical alternative to packing up and moving to a far-off college town. The number of degree programs and courses available online from South Dakota postsecondary schools is growing, with seven 4-year public colleges and universities in the state currently offering distance learning options. The largest among them is South Dakota State University in Brookings, which offers a variety of associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees online, as well as minors and certificate programs.
Among the six private, not-for-profit online colleges in the state are Augustana College in Sioux Falls, the University of Sioux Falls and Mount Marty College in Yankton. In addition, there are four 2-year public technical institutes and one private 2-year community college in South Dakota with online coursework offerings.
An excellent way to get a better understanding of what a state has to offer in the way of postsecondary education is to take a look at the colleges and universities located in its cities. With approximately 165,000 residents, the largest city in South Dakota is Sioux Falls. The next two sections highlight the current higher education environment in the Sioux Falls area.
The local public school system and college landscape in Sioux Falls is heavily supported by the community, and local businesses regularly form partnerships with schools in both the public and private sectors. Sioux Falls is recognized for its outstanding healthcare facilities, and it is within a day's drive from most Midwest cities. The beautiful climate and true four seasons make it a great place to live and go to school.
The largest city in South Dakota, Sioux Falls is home to 11 public colleges and universities. Six South Dakota universities comprise the South Dakota Public Universities and Research Center (or University Center, for short), a partnership that gives students access to a wide variety of programs from Black Hills State University, Dakota State University, Northern State University, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota, all in Sioux Falls. The goal of the partnership is to provide area residents access to quality public education, "with a special focus on providing opportunities for non-traditional and adult learners." UC also works with area businesses to help meet workforce needs. Students can study business, technology, social sciences, communication and health sciences from universities that are consistently ranked among the best in the region by U.S. News & World Report. Killian Community College offers affordable associate degrees and certificate programs for careers that include early childhood education, business management, medical administrative services and healthcare coding.
At University Center, both resident and non-resident students pay the same rate, making distance education affordable even for those living elsewhere. The six-university partnership offers correspondence (mail-delivered) courses, online classes and hybrid programs. Each university hosts its own distance education office to provide custom support to each student.
At the University of Sioux Falls, a Christian liberal arts college, distance learners can take advantage of online professional development courses to fulfill continuing education requirements. All courses are interactive and taught by expert instructors.
The costs associated with a college education are substantial, whether attending school in South Dakota or any other state, and students need to be fully aware of all of the expenses they are bound to encounter. First among these expenses is tuition. The range in tuition costs is wide and depends primarily on the type and location of the school in question. Generally speaking, tuition costs for South Dakota colleges are among the most affordable in the United States. Recent statistics rank South Dakota 11th in the nation in terms of average tuition rates, with average resident tuition costs at $8,723 per student annually in 2012.
Separate from tuition and fees are a variety of expenses that commonly fall under the heading of room and board. Living expenses in South Dakota are low compared to the nation as a whole, at 6–10 percent below the national average, depending on the location. The following chart provides cost of living (COL) statistics for Sioux Falls, one of the state's most notable towns (compared to the national average of 100).

Return on investment (ROI) analyses factor in the career and salary potential of a college's graduates. Specifically, many take the cost of attending a college for four years, subtracted from the average lifetime earnings of that school's graduates. This post-diploma metrics helps students gauge the value of a degree from that institution. In South Dakota, the following colleges came out on top for ROI in 2013:
Full and proper institutional accreditation should be a basic requirement for a student choosing a college or university degree program. In addition, receipt of federal financial aid for students depends on a school's accreditation status by a U.S. Department of Education recognized accrediting agency. The primary regional accrediting agency for colleges and universities in South Dakota is the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Schools in South Dakota typically have multiple accreditations. In addition to regional accreditation for an entire institution, specific programs, colleges, or departments tend to hold specialized or programmatic accreditation. Programs at the University of South Dakota, for example, have been accredited by various agencies, such as the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
South Dakota, with its wide open spaces and sparse population, is the ideal place for individuals seeking an online college education. Access to quality college degree programs, regardless of geographic location, has provided many South Dakotans with educational opportunities they could only dream of in the past. That is why colleges and universities in the state, both public and private, have begun offering distance-learning alternatives to their already well-established curricula. Like elsewhere, only a few South Dakota colleges deliver online programs whose exceptional quality lifts them above their peers. Check the list below to learn which schools are recognized as the Best Online Colleges in South Dakota for 2015-2016.

► The Science Beneath The Scream
"It is a moral imperative to preserve these works for future generations". - Jennifer Mass, President, Scientific Analysis of Fine Art, LLC, Professor, Univ of Delaware
This research is designed to solve an urgent problem facing the world's fine art museums - the disfigurement of treasured Impressionist and early modernist masterpieces due to 100+ years of light exposure resulting in the physical and chemical breakdown and discoloration of the early synthetic pigments in these works. This problem affects literally billions of dollars of our global cultural heritage, including works by Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso. Edvard Munch's The Scream (c. 1910), belonging to the Munch Museet (Oslo), has regions of paint degradation (fading and flaking cadmium yellow paints) in the sky, the water behind the central figure, and, most disturbingly, the yellow paint used in the face and neck of the central figure has in several brushstrokes faded away completely to white.
The goal of this current study is to elucidate the discoloration mechanisms observed in the two paintings in question using micro-x-ray diffraction (microXRD) and speciation (microXANES) mapping, to determine if these mechanisms can be correlated with the use of indirect wet process synthesized cadmium sulfide (CdS).

Newly constrained temperature bounds will help determine the range of permissible phase assemblages and transport at the core–mantle and inner core–outer core boundaries.
Thermal pressure derived from XRD data at high pressure and temperature. Pressures of the data points at 300 K range from 10 GPa to 150 GPa. Solid circles (this study): XRD data taken at 13-ID-D. Empty circles (this study): XRD data taken at 3-ID-B. Black curve (this study): thermal contribution to pressure estimated from equation(5). Grey shaded region: estimated uncertainty of the thermal contribution to pressure. The dashed part of the curve is extrapolated. Resistive heating and optical spectroscopy temperature reading are used in Komabayashi et al. (2009, 2012). fcc-and hcp-Fe's equations of state from Komabayashi(2014)and Dewaele et al.(2006)are used to determine the pressure.
The melting points of fcc-and hcp-structured Fe0.9Ni0.1and Fe are measured up to 125 GPa using laser heated diamond anvil cells, synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, and a recently developed fast temperature readout spectrometer. The onset of melting is detected by a characteristic drop in the time-integrated synchrotron Mössbauer signal which is sensitive to atomic motion. The thermal pressure experienced by the samples is constrained by X-ray diffraction measurements under high pressures and temperatures. The obtained best-fit melting curves of fcc-structured Fe and Fe0.9Ni0.1 fall within the wide region bounded by previous studies. We are able to derive the γ––ltriple point of Fe and the quasi triple point of Fe0.9Ni0.1 to be 110 ±5 GPa, 3345 ±120 K and 116 ±5 GPa, 3260 ±120 K, respectively. The measured melting temperatures of Fe at similar pressure are slightly higher than those of Fe0.9Ni0.1 while their one sigma uncertainties overlap. Using previously measured phonon density of states of hcp-Fe, we calculate melting curves of hcp-structured Fe and Fe0.9Ni0.1 using our (quasi) triple points as anchors. The extrapolated Fe0.9Ni0.1 melting curve provides an estimate for the upper bound of Earth's inner core–outer core boundary temperature of 5500 ±200 K. The temperature within the liquid outer core is then approximated with an adiabatic model, which constrains the upper bound of the temperature at the core side of the core–mantle boundary to be 4000 ±200 K. We discuss a potential melting point depression caused by light elements and the implications of the presented core–mantle boundary temperature bounds on phase relations in the lowermost part of the mantle.

Refurbished cupola dedicated at airport
Airport managers and families are honored.
The cupola that graced the roof of the old Gothenburg Airport office and hanger from 1942 to 2002 is visible again on the airport grounds.
The cupola, which came down because a new airport office was constructed, has been refurbished by Bob Mann with brick work completed by Craig Finke.
It was dedicated Saturday in recognition of the service of the families of two previous airport managers—Kak Fiese, who managed the airport from its beginning in 1946, and Roger Peden, who first came to town to manage Gothenburg Aviation in the fall of 1968 and later became manager of the airport.Members of the Fiese and Peden families were present for the dedication.
Pictured are, l-r: Above—Jason Fiese, Larry and Marlene Fiese, Rick and Rita Fiese and Jennifer Fiese; Below—Jake and Leah Peden, Bev and Kirt Peden, Sus Peden and Patti and Mark Aden.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles

The key for most visionary electronic applications will be printability, i.e. that the circuits can be applied to any material, and flexibility, i.e. that they can adhere to any shape or form - even body parts. Imagine an ultrathin film of electronic circuits attached to internal organs like your heart to monitor vital functions. All existing forms of electronics are built on the two-dimensional, planar surfaces of either semiconductor wafers or plates of glass. Mechanically flexible circuits based on organic semiconductors are beginning to emerge into commercial applications, but they can only be wrapped onto the surfaces of cones or cylinders - they cannot conform to spheres or any other type of surface that exhibits non-Gaussian curvature. Applications that demand conformal integration, e.g. structural or personal health monitors, advanced surgical devices, or systems that use ergonomic or bio-inspired layouts, etc., require circuit technologies in curvilinear layouts.Posted: Dec 7th, 2009
Chip structures already have reached nanoscale dimensions but as they continue to shrink below the 20 nanometer mark, ever more complex challenges arise and scaling appears not to be economically feasible any more. And below 10 nm, the fundamental physical limits of CMOS technology will be reached. One promising material that could enable the chip industry to move beyond the current CMOS technology is graphene, a monolayer sheet of carbon. Notwithstanding the intense research interest, large scale production of single layer graphene remains a significant challenge. Researchers at Cornell University have now reported a new technique for producing large scale single layer graphene sheets and fabricating transistor arrays with uniform electrical properties directly on the device substrate.Posted: Dec 2nd, 2009
Graphene is an impressive condensed matter system that, to all appearances, never ceases to impress and challenge our entrenched intuitions regarding solid state systems. But graphene is a highly atypical electronic system in that it consists of nothing but a surface. Researchers at Boston University have found that local deformations in a graphene sheet can strongly influence electron flow across the system, causing suppression of conductance at low densities, and making electrons behave as if they were living in a nanoribbon or quantum dot. All this without cutting the graphene sheet, which opens the prospect towards a reversible and controllable transport gap in monolayer graphene via strain engineering.Posted: Oct 6th, 2009
Imagine this: Chip-based credit cards and other smart cards on paper; intelligent sensors and electronics on doctors' surgical gloves; health monitors printed on T-shirts; diagnostic devices embedded in your baby's diapers; human machine interfaces on workers' leather gloves. These are just some of the systems that researchers envision today and that will become reality tomorrow thanks to research teams like John Rogers' group at the University of Illinois. Nanotechnology-enabled electronics of the future will be invisible, i.e. transparent, or flexible, or both. One of the areas Rogers' group focus on is creating materials and processes that will allow high-performance electronics that are flexible and stretchable. The group has now demonstrated examples of CMOS circuits on paper, fabric, leather and vinyl.Posted: Oct 1st, 2009
DNA origami, tiny shapes and patterns self-assembled from DNA, have been heralded as a potential breakthrough for the creation of nanoscale circuits and devices. One roadblock to their use has been that they are made in solution, and they stick randomly to surfaces - like a deck of playing cards thrown onto a floor. Random arrangements of DNA origami are not very useful; if they carry electronic circuits for example, they are difficult to find and 'wire-up' into larger circuits. A collaboration between Caltech and IBM research Almaden has found a way to position and orient DNA origami on surfaces by creating sticky patches in the shape of origami - as a demonstration they positioned and aligned triangular DNA origami on triangular sticky patches. This success knocks down one of the major roadblocks for the use of DNA origami in computer nanotechnology.Posted: Aug 18th, 2009
The degree of mobility of a semiconductor, i.e. how well it conducts, is crucial to the effectiveness of nanoelectronic devices. Mobility determines the carrier velocity, and hence switching speed, in FETs. Researchers have determined that the theoretical mobility of an individual single-walled carbon nanotube is about 1000 times higher than any other known semiconductor. However, practical applications would require massive manufacturing of large scale nanoelectronic devices. Despite progress being made with integrating individual nanotubes in lab environments, many of today's nanomanufacturing techniques for nanoelectronic devices rely on the use of 'carbon nanotube network films' comprised of multiple carbon nanotubes. The major problem here is that the electronic properties of CNT network films are usually very poor. Researchers in South Korea have now developed a powerful strategy to solve these fundamental problems simply by controlling the connectivity of nanotube/nanowire networks.Posted: Aug 4th, 2009
The fundamental issue of large-scale carbon nanotube (CNT) device fabrication remains the biggest challenge for effective commercialization of CNT-based nanoelectronic devices. For CNT electronics to become a reality requires manufacturing techniques to simultaneously and reproducibly fabricate a very large number of such devices on a single chip, each accessible individually for electronic transport. Conventional nanotube growth and device fabrication techniques using chemical vapor deposition or spin-casting are unable to achieve this, due to a lack of precise control over nanotube positioning and orientation. New work conducted at Tel Aviv University utilizes the CVD growth of CNTs over pillar-patterned silicon substrates to facilitate the formation of devices with taut and aligned CNTs grown exclusively at desired positions with built-in electrical contacts.Posted: Jul 23rd, 2009
The most promising applications of graphene are in electronics, detectors, and thermal management. The first graphene field-effect transistors have already been demonstrated. At the same time, for any transistor to be useful for analog communication or digital applications, the level of the electronic low-frequency noise has to be decreased to an acceptable level. Low frequency electronic noise dominates the noise spectrum to a frequency of about 100 kHz. Despite the fact that modern electronic devices such as cell phones and radars operate at a much higher carrier frequency, the low frequency noise is extremely important. Due to unavoidable non-linearities in devices and systems, the low frequency noise gets up-converted, and contributes to the phase noise of the system, thus limiting its performance. It is not possible to build a communication system or detector based on graphene devices until the noise spectral density is decreased to the level comparable with the conventional state-of-the-art transistors. Researchers at the University of California - Riverside have now reported the results of experimental investigation of the low-frequency noise in a double-gate graphene transistors.Posted: Jul 14th, 2009
