This incredible biography, without question the best ever written about Charlemagne in the English language and one of the greatest biographies of the 20th century, is a thrilling and poignant chronicle of the greatest of Medieval kings. We follow the young king in his early years as he assumes control over a divided kingdom, as co-ruler of the Germanic Franks along with his brother Carloman. When Carloman dies, Charlemagne assumes sole ownership of the crown and immediately begins his expansionist policy, first subduing the Lombards in Italy, then taking on the savage pagan Saxons. As his empire grows, Charlemagne proves himself a genius at military and civil administration. The Byzantine Emperor and Caliph of Baghdad held him in high esteem and acknowledged him as the successor to the western Roman emperors. But it was his great Christian faith and compassion that marked him out for greatness. He was a first rate scholar-humanist and surrounded himself with the greatest minds of Europe. As a fervent son of the church, it was Charlemagne more than anyone else who charted the course of the Catholic Church. As never before or since, Charlemagne held an empire in thrall as both its temporal and spiritual leader.

"It remains the best life of Charlemagne in English." (The Saturday Review)
"easy listening"
I was bit doubtful about this because of the comments in other reviews about it being dry and about the narrator's voice.
I didn't find it dry at all - it was a very easy, engrossing listen.
I too though found the narrator's voice distracting. It's very plummy; sounding English, but with some American pronunciations, such as 'dynasty' and a strange pronunciation of Bede as 'beedy' (which may be technically correct, but isn't how he's known today). I found myself thinking at times about where the narrator is from rather than listening to what he was saying.
That said, the distraction wasn't enough to put me off the book
"Dry but informative"
This book is slow and meticulous but very informative. Having never known much about the medieval Europe, I am certainly now much better informed about at least one aspect of it. At times I rather chafed against the length of the book, at other times I felt very soothed by the gentle exposition of political history. When it finished I rather wished there had been more of it. I was certainly left with a deep respect for Charlemagne himself.
"Slightly dated but enjoyable nonetheless"
Probably not, but only because I think I've absorbed from it all I can/ need to.
This is a history, not a drama, so the 'high points' are those experienced by Charlemagne himself. The most important is probably his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor, after a campaign of many years to acquire that title. The book puts this event into a setting that helps the reader understand what it meant to Charlemagne, and why.
Dated but not offensive. Many others have criticised Griffin's performance, and I understand why: he sounds like a supercilious throwback to the 1950's (a BBC announcer or university lecturer, perhaps). However, this book is a creature of that time, with many assertions about Charlemagne's state of mind, thoughts etc which are clearly the author's projections; and once I hit on the idea of thinking of this as an account spoken by someone like a history don from the 1960's (it was written in 1968), I found Griffin's delivery a coherent and even enjoyable part of the overall presentation.
No; it's a factual history which is not intended to arouse emotion. However, it is not just a recitation of facts, but rather an attempt to present Charlemagne in context, and to give some insight (albeit mainly speculative and perhaps rather superficial and uncritical) into his personality and mind.
This book (and the performance) reflects the historical approach of its time, but is none the worse for that as long as you realise it. I found it an enjoyable and worthwhile book from which I learned a lot about Charlemagne and the individuals around him. We would probably not write history this way now, but I found the book laid out very well the scope of this extraordinary man's achievements.
"Made an interesting figure dull"
The writing could have been less fancy. The author had that unpleasant historian quirk of placing trying to sound clever above trying to sound clear.
Probably some fiction to cleanse the palatte eg "Dangerous women" anthology or a science book eg "the inexplicable universe". Something that moves along fast and is focused.
His overfly flowery pronunciation of words - particuraly his insistence on pronouncing vowels so they sound like other vowels. I guess it matched the style of writing though.
While I didn't enjoy the writing style and found many aspects tedious there were still some enjoyable moments especially when the author came to life while dispute contentious interpretations of history.
"Dreadful narration"
The narration style makes it nearly impossible for me to listen to it, shame because the content is fascinating
A less breathy and urgent style. It sounded like someone trying to enthuse a bored audience of teenagers in a topic the narrator believed to be boring
The 'set' questions offered for reviewers are inappropriate for this type of book. The book covers a fascinating period of history and a remarkable character who played an important part in the development of Europe. It deserved better narration
"strange accent, old fashioned history"
I wish I'd read the reviews first. I really think that audible should warn you that a book is over 50 years old. The way the history is handled is very old fashioned: full of confident assertions about people's character and motivation, very little about economic and cultural factors. Sources aren't evaluated very seriously and we are treated to the author's confident view of what happened and why with hardly any suggestion of alternative readings. The narrator's accent is weird too; it's a kind of stage RP, but moves into a more marked form in places ("awf" for "off" etc.) a's sometimes become o's and along with other oddities "sycophant" ends up as "psychofont". I wonder how long ago the Saturday Review said this was the best biography of Charlemagne in English.
"great book poor naration"
The content was very good but was spoiled by the narration. Charlton Griffin appears to have done many audio books but narrates with no intonation, pitch, variation or context reference to the text, reading every word as if unconnected to the others around it. this made the book difficult to listen to despite its' content.
A fascinating historical figure no doubt, but enjoyment of this book ruined by the narrator Charlton Griffin who cannot pronounce simple worlds like 'envoy' (despite a plummy hammy accent) and horrible special effects such as 'echoes' when quoting ancient authorities. The book is definitely dated and I wonder if there is a more modern English biography that uses more up to date research and is a little less dominated by the cultural prejudices of the mid 20th century.
"Interesting but of its time"
Written in the 1950's in quite a high blown style. If you've read Winston Churchill's "This Sceptered Isle" you'll know what to expect. It's a very heavily researched, comprehensive study of Charlemagne and as an Englishman with a shamefully thin knowledge of European history I found it interesting throughout. However, the narration is a bit disconserting in its oratorical style and the periodic sound effects, while demonstrating that the producers were really trying to add the experience, just serve to reinforce the fact that this now seems a very stylised and slightly anachronistic piece.
"dramatisation - not an audiobook"
This is not a reading of a text, but rather a dramatisation complete with gregorian chanting in the background (and other sound effects), and a narrator who would be more at home on in radio play. I found these very irritating and gave up after 20 mins. I can't comment on the content as I couldn't get past the sound effects...
"A Remarkable History"
This book makes fascinating reading of medieval history, and manages to create a highly human overview of Charlemagne's reign from what must be rather meagre pickings after 1200 years, at least with respect to the personal letters and evidence of internal family happenings of such an heroic figure. The author takes great pains to convey where he may have questionable historical footing about his assumptions; thus the majority of the book rings solid and true. I would recommend it highly to anyone wishing to have a broader understanding of European history -- for me it was an important bridge from the Roman times to the history of England and Europe beginning with 1066. It is far easier to study this history with a human subject as a focal point, and this book builds heavily on that approach.
The printed book may well have a list of characters which would be very helpful to keep all the unusual names straight. If it were possible to do so with copyright issues being raised, it would be great if Audible would provide some backup information for a book like this one.
"A wonderful biography"
This was an exceptional audiobook. I knew a little about Charlemagne going in, but this is a comprehensive biography that is very colorful and highly interesting. I did not know that Charlemagne had such an influence on the church. I also didn't know what a lady's man he was. The writing is as good as you could want in a biography like this, scholarly but not pedantic. The author keeps it interesting, though he really packs a lot into this work. The description of his struggle with the Saxons was memorable to say the least. Don't miss this if you like medieval history. Great narrator.
"One of the true giants of history"
I can't say enough great things about this book. If you are used to reading biographies of modern statesmen, you may be a bit put off at first, because obviously you will not find as many direct quotations or independent accounts of a ruler from the 8th century. Nonetheless, the author somehow manages to bring Charlemagne to life for us, creating not only a strong sense of personality but also a sense of the way that personality changed as the young ruler matured.
I also admire the way the author combines scholarship with humility. There are occasional points at which he lays out a mystery, gives some of the contending theories, and then reveals his own view -- always based on reasonable inferences from the available evidence, and always presented as hypothesis rather than fact. Many writers would not show so even a hand.
I once heard a professor of history remark that the whole idea of the "Dark Ages" was a modern conceit, and that it was important to remember that people who lived in those times had minds just as philosophically subtle as our own, even if they didn't have electricity or antibiotics. This book drives that point home in spades.
"Takes Some Effort, But Well Worth It."
The effort in this terrific book is in becoming familiar with Germanic names. Events I suffered through in college over 40 years ago came alive and took on the meaning for me my teachers could only dream about. In some ways the book is a study in true leadership as well as the revelation of an extraordinary person in an extraordinary time. The details in this biography are welcome enhancements to the story, rather than mere historical events. The writer bridges the gap of more than 1300 years so well that the book actually seems modern. I look forward to a second listen.
"He comes alive"
"From the Hammer to the Cross". This audiobook is EXCELLENT. The author narrates with great responsibility and precision the life (and times) of Charlemagne from his ancestor (The Hammer) to his disappointing heir (The Cross). The main character is brought to life in a very special way: he seems like one's close acquaintance once you get to know him. We are, unwittingly, familiarized with the whole world history of his time (at least the one that matters): Empress Irene and successors in Constatinople, Harun-Al-Rashid in Bagdad, The kings of Mercia and the petty kingdoms of northern Spain. Another interesting feature is the portrayal of the ambivalent and complex relationship between our character and the popes (Stephen, Hadrian and Leo). It's like a novel, only better because it isn't. Buy this audiobook, it will make you a better person (or at least better informed).
"A bit dry but OK"
This book takes a bit of work to listen to. The reader has an English accent, an echo is added to the quotes, and there is medieval filler music between chapters. The effect is a bit like watching a filmstrip or movie in high school, between the production style and the stories of unfamiliar people like Pepin, Charles Martel, and the like. This does make it educational, however and overall the book is pretty good. Being the biography of an emperor it emphasizes political history more than social. I'm finding that I like social history better, but there were enough nuggets of information on regular life that the book was good for me. Specifically, I always wondered why you couldn't just live on your piece of land and be left alone. Now I know.
If you are interested in Charlemagne and the history of his time, the book is worthwhile but plan on working some to get through it.
"Enjoyable Throughout, Education Without Pain"
When I bought this title, I was thinking, "This will be good for me to learn; it might even be interesting at times." I was surprised to find the book never had any dull spots. I did learn so many interesting things that helped set a great backdrop for the roots of France and Germany, feudalism, the history of education, the Vikings, the Ottoman Empire's rise, and even the Norman invasion of England in subsequent centuries. That I was able to become so much more knowledgable about a time and person we only hear little about while enjoying a biography that was so readable was wonderful!
"Excellent intro to the politics of the middle ages"
This audiobook successfully brings to life the politics of the middle ages, a period that is little studied in secondary or post-secondary institutions. You get to know Charlemagne ... Charles ... the dynastic machinations, complex relationship with the Vatican, incessant warring among the former "barbarian" groups that overthrew Rome a few hundred years before. I think I would have benefitted by having a map of the period in front of me, since I struggled to understand what was happening where. But that is my own fault, not the book's fault. The narration was peculiar ... with the quotations delivered as if in an echo chamber, to differentiate it from the regular text. But I found that endearing, not irritating. This is a fairly heavy history volume, and the style of narration made it much easier to take that is sometimes the case with other history audiobooks.
"Accurate and enlightening"
I felt this was the best historical account from the middle ages I've ever heard/read. I recommend this book to anyone interested in history and to anyone with questions about the Catholic Church, Charlemagne, or the Byzantine Empire.
"Very enjoyable"
The quality of the production was very good. The content was even better. I knew very little about Charlemange prior to listening to the book. Now I know more than I can remember. The author was thoughough and thoughtful. Except for the occasional speculation regarding the internal thoughts of some of the historical figures, I really enjoyed listening.

- Abstract
- Micromachining of silicon surface and near-surface regions by electron-beam lithography (EBL) and reactive ion dry-etching (RIE), as well as by laser microfabrication techniques is described. Combination of EBL and RIE techniques is used to fabricate quasi two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) structures with aspect ratios at approximately 15. Structural and optical properties of PhC samples with 2D honeycomb lattice are reported, and a complete photonic band gap at wavelengths approximately 2.16 μm is identified from the optical transmission data. Next, laser microfabrication of silicon by femtosecond laser pulses is reported. Processing of silicon under low air pressure conditions (≃5 Torr) is demonstrated to be essentially debris-free process, highly suitable for cutting and scribing of wafers as well for hole drilling. Removal of thin films from the silicon surface by a single-shot laser ablation using mask projection is also demonstrated.

Hello everyone
i just realised that I'm not so sure about the rules of alternating breasts when feeding.
I was told that if you last fed on the left breast then the next feeding should begin on the right. Is this correct?
My question though is how do you manage that during a feeding session when baby feeds for maybe between 5 - 10 minutes on the left breast. Then pauses for a burp break or to rest. When she's ready to go again, do I put her back on the left breast or should I start her on the right?
Feeding for such a short period of time on one breast ends up in a bit of frustration for me though as the milk just runs while she's feeding on the other breast.
What is the best way to manage both breasts?
Thank you

- Title
- 'You really can practice English in real life': mediating culture and language learning in a rest home
- Author(s)
- Andrew, Martin
- Abstract
- Our society abounds with underutilised human resources for mediating linguistic practice and cultural learning resulting in agency. Learners of English as an Additional Language (EAL) whether migrants or international students frequently report difficulties in finding contexts to practice English outside the classroom (Wright, 2006). Using a framework based around language socialisation, this paper reports on a case study identifying what learners gain linguistically, culturally and ontologically from prolonged interaction with the elderly at a rest home in Auckland. Four Chinese women who had undertaken a 10-hour community placement as part of a BA programme were asked to live onsite as caregivers as a result of their successful work as volunteers during their community placements. This project uses these students' reflective diaries from their first placement, plus the transcript of a focus group interview conducted during the time they were living onsite, to address key questions about how the rest home and the volunteer sector in general, impact on actuating practice into social learning. To "really practice" allowed the four to apply linguistic strategies taught in the abstract context of the classroom; to observe firsthand aspects of culture that resonated with the elderly; to report on what sort of language was used in the homes and for what purposes, and to emerge with the feeling that even they could "make a difference".

I don't really remember how long it took for my milk to come in, but I was pumping milk by the time we left. The main thing for me was consistently trying to nurse - meaning hauling my recently sectioned self out of bed and upstairs to the nursery every 3 hours, and then pumping for 10-15 minutes on each side afterwards. It was exhausting, but I established a really good supply. Being able to room in would be super helpful, and getting a hospital grade pump those first few days is helpful as well. Baby may be super tired from the surgery and medications. We also had to dropper fed to supplement his attempts at nursing, because of how sleepy he was. But eventually, after a few weeks, he woke up and nursed like a champ!

A man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the leg while in line at a Walmart in Phoenix.
The man had a gun on his hip, and it discharged accidentally while he was waiting to pay for his items Saturday afternoon, police told Phoenix TV station KTVK.
The gunshot caused confusion and panic among shoppers.
Christa Allejandro was checking out at the store when she heard a loud bang.
"It sounded like a balloon. ... We were in the aisle paying for our stuff and then the next thing you know, a couple of aisles down from me, we hear a gunshot and we see a man cover his belly," she told KTVK.
The man's injuries were not life-threatening and no one else was hurt.

Manti Te'o was the the talk of Hawaii sports on Friday, especially at ESPN's 1420 radio.
"This is ESPN 1420 radio, Chris Hart, Gary Dickman."
"Right now we have Ron on the phone, what's up Rod?"
"Yeah I want to thank my Arizona Cardinals for picking up Manti," said the caller.
"The Chargers got Manti Te'o," said Gary Dickman, ESPN 1420 Sports Animals.
"No way, I just got a call that the Arizona Cardinals got him," said the caller.
"No, it was the San Diego Chargers at 38, they got Manti Te'o," said Dickman.
Misleading phone calls are nothing new to anyone who's been following the Manti Te'o saga, but many fans who follow Manti the football player wish their team drafted him. Others say San Diego is a good fit.
"Their losing a lot of players to the free agency, so he has a really good chance of starting or playing a lot," said another caller.
"Another guy from Hawaii, Colt Brennan got exposed against Georgia and he was a bust in the NFL, I sure hope Manti can change that pattern," said another caller.
"The thing with Manti Te'o, the cat-fishing thing, nobody knows how to deal with that because it's never happened before so that's what scared off a lot of people," said Chris Hart, ESPN 1420 Sports Animals.
"As far as him going in the second round, I think that's a good thing for him, I think he will succeed, I think he's going to surprise a lot of people," said Dickman.
"When he got drafted at Radio City Music Hall, the place erupted. It's turned so that the rest of the country is almost kind of behind Manti now," said Hart.
"We're excited for him, grateful that he has a chance to play in the NFL. We know he can do it, it's just a matter of where and San Diego being close to Hawaii, we'll be able to cheer him on," said Kale Ane, Punahou High School head football coach.
The City and County of Honolulu will host a parade for both Manti Te'o and Robby Toma on Saturday. The parade will begin at 4 p.m. at Hau'ula Beach Park and end at Laie Park.
Manti Teo will not be attending. He flew out to San Diego Friday night.

Under blue skies and the thunderous roar of a morning flyover, hundreds of military veterans, family members and friends honored those who died fighting for our country this Memorial Day at the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl
Many came to the annual ceremony to simply pay respect, while for others the day holds a more personal connection.
"I'm here for my brother who was killed in Normandy," said Albert Burn, a retired veteran. "It's an honor for me to be here to pay homage to those that live here."
A shortage in flowers on the island created some concern about finding enough lei to mark each of the 51,000 graves of veterans buried or interned here.
But City & County parks officials said the community once again addressed the call for help.
"Our community is so great," said Al Tufono, Deputy Director of City Parks and Recreations. "When we issued a call for fresh flowers and lei, everyone in our community sewed a lei, donated some flowers to sew a lei, and we met the goal."
Now in its 63rd year, the annual ceremony provided a reminder to all about the sacrifices made by members of the military armed services.
"The silence of Punchbowl is the shouts of those that are buried here, reminding us of our responsibility to live a life of purpose," proclaimed FC2 Ken Wiseman, a trainer of Navy firefighters stationed at Pearl Harbor.
Still, many hope that the day will come when no more soldiers need be interned on those hallowed grounds.
"Let us continue to hope for a more peaceful future," said Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle, addressing the crowd fronting the memorial. "Let us strive to attain that goal, as elusive as it may seem. We owe no less to those whom we honor here today."
Regardless of whether those in attendance chose to strive for peace or to remember those who fought to preserve it, the determination to continue the tradition of saluting those who made the ultimate sacrifice was ubiquitous.
"As we grow older we're going to carry on the tradition of our fathers and forefathers before them," concluded FC2 Wiseman.

The story is about a fictitious character, Lexi Carmichael, one of Hollywood's hottest child actors. In the blink of an eye, her career comes to an end, and Lexi returns to small-town Texas to live the life of a regular teen.
"I wanted to write something that parents could feel good about allowing their daughters to read. As the parent of a teenage girl, I know that there is a predominance of books out there that feature young characters navigating adult situations. This one doesn't," Jackson explained. "It's about a girl learning to be a normal kid without the aid of vampires or magic spells."
Having grown up in a house full of girls, Jackson said there was never a shortage of strong female literary characters in her home. She and her three sisters grew up reading Judy Blume, Beverley Cleary and Louisa May Alcott.
Jackson, a native of New Jersey, chose the Texas Hill Country as the setting for the novel. Austin and Johnson City are featured heavily in the novel, especially when Lexi's family ranch becomes the location of a movie. "It's easy to write about the places you love and know," the author said – she lived in Central Texas for about six years. "I hope that readers outside of Texas will get a sense of how beautiful the landscapes are here."
The novel was published by Out of Bounds Press in Jordan, Minn. It is available for digital download online through major book sellers.
Jackson, who has written a weekly column for six years, is also the author of "Turned Wrong at Ding Dong," a compilation of articles that she wrote for the Beeville Bee-Picayune. Another compilation, "Grizzlies, Tigers and Combat Boot Wearing Mamas," will be published later this year.

July 13, 2011 —
If the average Joe is interested in knowing what companies are getting tax breaks through the Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency (IDA), he no longer has to get that information by sending a Freedom of Information Law request to Albany. Instead, Joe can simply go to www.sul [3] livanida.com and click on the current projects tab.
Also, there is information about how many jobs a particular project is supposed to create, and whether the project is living up to expectations. Further, there is a wealth of additional information, such as the organization's bylaws and budget. It's what some county residents have been advocating for several years.
At a meeting at the government center on July 7, Jennifer Brylinski, executive director of the organization, gave a brief presentation to lawmakers about the revamped website, which was generally well received. But Rock Hill resident Dave Colavito, who has been one of the most vocal proponents of the posted information, said that the task is not quite complete.
He said the resolution passed by the county that required the changes also called for information showing how specific projects perform over time, so that a true picture of the performance of any given project could be easily understood.
Lawmakers said they would look into the matter.
The discussion then turned to a specific IDA project: the Monticello Motor Club, which provides a track where members can drive high-priced vehicles at high speeds on a track designed specifically for the purpose. Information on the IDA website says the project received sales tax incentives of $50,000 and was supposed to have created 25 jobs. The number of jobs this year is eight.
Legislator and IDA chairman Elwin Wood said when a project doesn't meet its target, it is penalized accordingly.
But some residents had other concerns about the track, which has been mentioned at previous meetings. They said the noise generated by the track has harmed the neighbors' quality of life and the value of their homes. Legislator Kathy LaBuda wondered why the issue was not brought up with the Town of Thompson Planning Board during the venue's initial review process.
Resident Ann Culligan, who lives near the track, said, "We did speak up. The town and the planning board ignored us. I have a neighbor who can no longer live in her house, and mine is no bargain." (See Letters, p. 7.)
Legislator Leni Binder said because New York is a home rule state, the situation was a matter for the town, not the county. She said, "We have no authority to act" on the matter.
Nor does the legislature have authority over which projects the IDA grants tax incentives and which it does not. The legislature appoints IDA board members, but it is an independent agency.
Finally, the discussion turned again to the IDA board and whether there should be some limit on the length of time board members should serve. While board members serve at the pleasure of the legislature, there is no term limit, and some members have served on the board for many years.
The lawmakers generally agreed to pursue the matter and come up with some type of limits for service.

In what seems to have become an annual ritual, I'm here again today to report on the state of education in America.

Escape to the idyllic beaches of Thailand. The bright white sands and clear turquoise waters are truly spectacular.
Explore culture, history and more. With so much to see and do, one visit is never enough.
Our great choice of hotels in Bangkok appeal to an array of tastes, budgets and requirements.
Spend a few days getting to know the many sides of Bangkok's personality. This fascinating city has so much to offer and you'll soon realise that anything goes. Where else do sacred temples exist alongside colourful nightlife and incredible hi-tech shopping centres?
Embrace the leisurely pace of life as you explore on holidays in Bangkok. Travel by tuk-tuk and experience the fascinating chaos of the city's roads. Or take one of the long-tail taxi boats that swarm along the Chao Phraya river and see The Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha on the east bank. Sample tantalising Thai street food along the thriving Khao San Road, which comes alive at night. Or look for tourist trinkets on nearby Soi Rambuttri, which has a more earthy charm.
Enjoy a memorable night aboard one of Bangkok's most luxurious restaurant boats, relaxing in modern comfort and dining like King Rama V on a variety of Thai dishes. As you cruise slowly along the Chao Phraya River you will pass The Temple of Dawn, Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace complex, which both provide sensational twilight photo opportunities. It is also a great vantage point to watch the life along the river as people slowly start to unwind or head home after a busy day.
This guided journey begins with a leisurely drive out of Bangkok, passing through salt fields and rice paddies, before taking a long-tail speedboat to the Damnoen Saduak floating markets. See Thai style canoes laden with colourful fruits, vegetables, sweets and meats. Take a closer look on a boat ride through the markets, for an additional charge. You will then continue to The Rose Garden Cultural Center by coach, to watch local Thai villagers creating traditional handicrafts.
The Grand Palace Complex is home to a number of attractions including Wat Phra Keow, Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Built in traditional Thai architecture, The Grand Palace complex, once the official home for the Kings of Siam, is unquestionably one of Thailand's major tourist highlights. During the tour you will visit the Royal Funeral Hall and the Royal Coronation Hall. Then of course, there is the centrepiece of the complex – the 45cm-tall sacred Emerald Buddha.
Visit the Ayutthaya temples on a cultural day trip from Bangkok. The tour to the ancient capital of Siam includes a trip by riverboat, a must-do activity when you're in Bangkok, with close-up views of the temples and historic sites that line the Chao Phraya River. The UNECSO World Heritage site of Ayutthaya was once a thriving Siamese kingdom and is known today for its spectacular ruins and temples.
Kanchanaburi's famous Bridge on the River Kwai and the beginning of the Death Railway is a poignant reminder of the thousands of POW's and forced labourers who lost their lives in the Second World War. Eighty miles west of Bangkok, the province itself is an agricultural area with sugar cane, rice paddies and pineapple plantations. This full-day guided tour includes a visit to the war museum and the opportunity to ride a local train. Fascinating, moving and memorable sums up the Kanchanaburi experience.

Rachel Johnston, Ph.D. Online Campus
"I am excited that Adler University recognizes the vast
impact that practitioners and researchers trained not
just in criminology, but also in psychology and social
justice issues, can make and I am honored to be part
of this effort."
-Rachel Johnston, Ph.D.
Rachel Johnston
Program Director, M.A. in Criminology
Arguably, the field of Criminology and Criminal Justice touches everyone. It is rare to find someone that hasn't been a victim of or witness to some criminal act, and most of us have committed crimes (intentionally or inadvertently, however minor), though most of us have never been arrested. For those who have not been victimized, witnessed or committed criminal acts, surely there is someone important in their lives that have.
The criminal justice system is vast and consumes huge portions of most public budgets. Criminal justice policy – ideas that become laws – are applied to all residents but in some important respects vary by location. For example, in Chicago, gun ownership laws are considered very strict, but surrounding communities that have less strict laws have an impact on public safety outside their communities.
Unfortunately, the application of "justice" is not evenly or objectively applied which has brought us to the point where many believe the system is "broken." Many new collaborative efforts are perhaps changing the system paradigm – it remains to be seen. Without a doubt, there are countless opportunities for improving social justice in the criminal justice system. I am excited that Adler University recognizes the vast impact practitioners and researchers trained not just in criminology, but also the impact of psychology and social justice issues, and I am honored to be part of this effort.
My areas of expertise are in law enforcement organizations, police management, surveillance, and violence prevention. I worked as a practitioner, as a convener of public agencies, and as a researcher. I worked with the Chicago Police Department in their Research and Development Division for over a decade, and recently worked on a multi-agency collaboration involving a number of public agencies in Cook County and the City of Chicago. I have conducted research in violence prevention, policing strategies, and surveillance. Because of my varied experiences, I understand criminal justice issue from multiple perspectives.

A-T-V Fatality
Pound, Va. -
Virginia State Police have identified the nine-year old boy killed in a tragic A-T-V accident in Wise County yesterday.
He was Austin W. Bowman of Pound.
Authorities were initially called following a report of a missing child.
He had been riding his A-T-V on family property and failed to return after several hours.
The Wise County Sheriff's Department were called in to help with the search.
"We started contacting other resources that were available to us to assist, Pound Rescue, Pound Fire Department assisted. Our K-9 unit was contacted, they came out and was able to run a track and unfortunately was able to locate the boy approximately 200 yards from his residence," Says Duane Phillip an investigator with the department.
Authorities tell us the boy was wearing a helmet and apparently lost control of the A-T-V which landed upside down.
The incident remains under investigation.
Austin was a student at j.w. adams combined school in Pound. The school is out this week for spring break.

Atmosphere: Lindey's is the grand old dame of Columbus fine dining. Pretty and sophisticated, its French-bistro-esque main room features an airy high ceiling, an opulent copper bar, huge windows onto German Village and lots of arty appointments.
The patio here is justifiably famous and one of the sharpest in town. Its brick and black motif is fleshed out with a gazebo-like bar, a glazed three-tiered fountain, handsome plants and shady trees. The result is a casually elegant and breezily fabulous food- and drink-fueled playground.
Food: Lindey's brunch dishes lean toward the rich and eggy side and usually arrive gilded with a nice hollandaise sauce. They're all good, but the Crab Cake and Eggs is a home run. In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite brunch items.
A cute, well-used, personal-sized skillet comes piled high with spinach and crusty fingerling potatoes for texture and heft. Then comes the all-star in the lineup - a smallish but marvelous Maryland-style crab cake that's probably 95 percent pure and sweet crabmeat. Cresting that is a fried egg dolloped with hollandaise. The crazy-great combination is a rich celebration of farm and ocean and an out-of-this-world party in the mouth.
Sweet stuff: Check out Lindey's over-the-top stuffed French Toast. Brioche bread gets adorned with bananas, pecans and cream cheese - and, oh yeah, sided with bacon for a salty little counterpoint.
Don't miss: Nary a natty bruncher here is without a horseradishy Bloody Mary or a pale golden mimosa (made with a generous splash of Cava) - you should follow suit.

You and your coworkers are probably already using personal smartphones and tablets to access business information and applications. It's clear that mobility can boost productivity and improve collaboration. And whether your employees are Millennials or the over-40 set, people simply expect the convenience of using mobile devices for work. Despite the rush to mobile though, according to Trend Micro 46% of companies that permit BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) reported experiencing a data or security breach as a result of an employee-owned device accessing the corporate network. Clearly, organizations need to take steps toward protecting themselves from the risks of lost or stolen mobile devices.
Whatever your own personal position is regarding allowing your employees access to your company's information via their mobile devices, at a minimum, you need to acknowledge that it's happening and you better get on board. So, rather than fighting it or just turning a blind eye and hoping for the best, you need to have a policy in place. And the fastest and easiest way to address this is to simply incorporate it into your (already existing) Computer Use Policy document. And a subset within this needs to be your policy regarding BYOD.
While setting policies to govern the use of mobile devices is an essential part of any BYOD initiative, dictating usage can be a delicate balance. Some people might not welcome the idea that their company can determine what applications can be downloaded or that data and applications can be remotely deleted from their phones – especially their personal devices.
BYOD means new thinking for both companies and employees, including new approaches for security, new ways to manage applications, and a changing model for technical support. All of these areas can be wrapped up into the umbrella known as "Mobile Device Management".
That said, here are some key considerations for developing a Mobile Device Policy for your business:
If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our recommended approach to Mobile Device Management or how we manage our own fleet of mobile devices, please send us an email or give us a call.

It MAY just be the result of people looking for it now, so we see more evidence of it when it was there all along, but over the past couple weeks, these stories are flooding in of reporters and TV personalities speaking gibberish. The new one today was Judge Judy. What do you think? Only conspiratorial explanations I've run across is that the sun is scrambling people's brains and/or the Matrix is collapsing. That, or all of the sudden, some kind of gibberish meme is being passed around. Swamptick posted:3/31/2011 8:40:31 AM Glitch in the Matrix.

Besides, Alpha Centauri is prime real estate compared to what they've "terraformed" lately. Yuck. godlypunk posted:4/1/2011 1:49:51 PM Maybe the secret government is testing out a new toy.

I believe I read somewhere that our sun is producing very powerful solar flares which must be producing very powerful EMF as well. My point being that I also have read or perhaps seen on video studies that show manipulation of ones speaking functions through the introduction of strong EMF pulses to the cranium. gary107 posted:4/4/2011 1:31:26 AM SOL INVICTUS {Clyde Lewis's Ground Zero Media}Could electromagnetic pulses affect brain activity to confuse speech patterns? Couldit induce seizures or any other brain malady? A hypothesis based on preponderanceof evidence suggests that the answer is yes. With the recent magnetic changes dueto a series of Solar flares people with epilepsy have spoken out on an internet forumand have said that recently they have been having more seizures even while onmedication to control them. One expert theorized that the compression of the earth'smagnetosphere pushes the electrical fields in the neural network from their neurons.This shuts down the brain. The body reacts by sending signals back to the medullaoblongata. This low level neural network is more robust. With every autonomiccontraction the body is trying to send low level input data back to the brain. This slowrecovery is necessary.It has also been noted that cases of migraine and vertigo often happen during periodsof electromagnetic changes and geomagnetic events. This type of neurologicalanomaly has been called the Charlotte King effect named after Charlotte King who getsheadaches, slurred speech and vertigo during seismic and geomagnetic occurrences.Ground Zero reported that just before the devastating earthquake in Japan that OnFebruary 14th, through the 17th of 2011 there were at least 3 CME bursts that werebombarding the earth's magnetic field.During the same week Arkansas had been hit with a swarmof earthquakes. A magnitude 3.8 earthquake occurred near the town of Greenbrier incentral Arkansas on Thursday morning February 17, 2011 at about 4:50 AM. In totalthere were at least 11 earthquakes reported and two of them registered 4.7 on theRichter scale.On February 17th 2011, the Los Angeles times reported that the Solar Flare intensitycould trigger massive earthquakes all over the planet. This story was buriedunderneath another story that had Americans glued to You Tube and CBS News.A beautiful blonde reporter named Serene Branson stood outside the Grammy awardsready to do her live shot. As soon as the Anchor in the studio introduced the reportershe stumbled through her first sentence looking distressed and tossing word salad thatwas incomprehensible. For the most of the United States it was a first, watching a newsreporter break out in babble during a live shot. Many theorized she had a stroke.macros72 posted:4/5/2011 2:52:30 PM Well two weeks ago on a Friday I was waiting for a taxi after work to arrive. One turned up and up i went to the driver to ask if her was waiting for me.What happened next was most embarassing - I couldnt get the words out right - rubbish came out my mouth even though my mind had the correct words to say.

Anonymity's a conditional thing, I've come to find. When I'm running errands and nobody tells how good my columns, photos and news stories aren't, anonymity's a good thing. On the flip side, anonymity is a bad thing when it comes from my best friend's parents.
What follows is a true story of fighting negative anonymity. To protect the innocent, names and places have been changed (Note: This also protects the guilty).
My friend Dorothy was recently in Portales with her parents, who had some business in town. Once the business concluded, we had lunch at a local restaurant where at least a half-dozen people waved to me and addressed me on a first-name basis.
None of those people were Dorothy's parents. They asked who I was and what memories I was discussing with Dorothy during lunch. With some of my friends' parents, this wouldn't bother me. But I've known Dorothy for seven years and her parents for more than six.
Dorothy took my side, to no avail.
"How do you not remember Kevin? He helped me move three times, and you were there for two of those moves. He's been to our house."
"I've been to the house numerous times," I interjected.
Dorothy continued, "He's picked up my mail for me when he visited you guys in Roswell. He's never missed a Christmas or birthday present for me. He talked to you guys during my college graduation. Dad, he helped me with the university game night when you visited and played chess with everyone. Mom, we went out to eat after he helped me at my Peanut Valley Festival booth. I hugged him and called him my best friend right in front of you."
Her father looked blankly, while her mom said, "No, doesn't really ring a bell."
Dorothy didn't mention I purchased items from her mother's nutritional supplement business. Or that I tell them what I do every time they visit — and her father still wondered aloud how he could get a hold of the next day's newspaper without staying in town.
It was almost like Mr. Burns never recognizing Homer Simpson, despite the countless times they've paired up for a storyline in "The Simpsons."
"Sir, that's Homer Simpson. He reunited you with your estranged son. His family sued you when you ran over his son. His daughter helped you recoup your business after you ended up penniless. You had dinner at their house as a publicity stunt during your gubernatorial run."
"Simpson, eh?"
I whispered to Dorothy that we could get married and it would change nothing. "Mom, Kevin's my husband. Dad, you performed the service. Mom, we hosted the reception at your house. You're each wearing the shirts Kevin bought you from our DisneyWorld honeymoon."
"No, doesn't ring a bell, but we love the shirts."
I had anonymity assured, and I thought, "How can I destroy this?" My opportunity came when they discussed their cats. Having been to the house, I know her family is full of cat lovers.
"Cats are great. I love them," I said, and I was in their good graces until I unleashed my punchline. "But man, do I hate cat owners."
Something tells me they'll remember me next time, marriage or not.
