Seven North Central students traveled to Haiti in December 2009 to work at an orphanage, school and medical center.
Little did they know that within a few weeks, they'd be raising several thousand dollars to support relief efforts after the January 12 earthquake.
Donations went to support Mission of Hope's medical clinic Hospital of Hope, which is located north of Port-au-Prince and is functioning, but overwhelmed with need.
The students collected donations online (mohhaiti.org), at most athletic and fine arts events, and by distributing collection boxes throughout campus.
The group traveled to Haiti as part of North Central's D-Term. For the second year, the Office of Ministry and Service planned a trip to Haiti to work with Mission of Hope, serving orphans, school children and staff members. As soon as the students heard about the earthquake, they contacted Mission of Hope to help.
The students who participated include Natalie Cummins '13, Jessica VandenBerg '12, Taylar Proctor '11, Jonathan Rainville '10, Brendan Chaves '10 and Nicholas Sander '10. Jamie Walden-Mather, lecturer of human thought and behavior, accompanied the group

It seems ironic that both houses of Congress approved spending more than $700 billion to bail out financial companies in October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
During this month we are flooded with information about the problem of abuse, and are warned about the dangers of codependency and enabling. Often that information comes straight from the lawmakers themselves, in the form of public service announcements.
The bailout falls squarely within the definition of enabling behavior.
Analysts and advocates have long addressed the added problem of enabling, where friends, family and associates help a person avoid the consequences of bad behavior. The advocates often warn that an abuse victim who covers for the abuser, who tries to justify the abuse, will only be victimized again.
The same holds true to those who succumb to addictions and other self-abusive behavior. Spouses who turn a blind eye, parents who cover for their children when they encounter law enforcers or other authorities, only shield the substance abuser from the repercussions of the abuse.
Congress has done just that by approving the bailout package. In doing so they didn't just save the giant financial institutions that probably are too bloated for their own good anyway; by allowing them to avoid any painful consequences of their actions, they essentially are enabling those financiers to continue the very high-risk behavior that got them in this trouble in the first place.
Everyone has made it far too easy for the lenders — and Congress, which drew up the rules under which they operate — to blame borrowers for taking variable rate "subprime" mortgages, but in many cases those are the only loans they could get. It is also reasonable to assume the lenders, which have a history of making thousands of these kinds of high-risk loans, are better equipped to know the risks involved than borrowers for whom buying a home can be a once-in-a-lifetime transaction.
It's easy to say in retrospect the lenders should have taken more steps to better inform borrowers, but let's face it: doing so might have scared away some business, and after all, they've always been able to rely on their friends on Capitol Hill to bail them out, haven't they?
Just like this past week.
Perhaps the saddest part of this debacle is that so much of the American public actually saw right through the doom-and-gloom rhetoric. They knew that as long as they continued to make their own mortgage payments — and the vast majority of them do — they have nothing to worry about. As long as they maintain good credit records, they'll always be able to find someone who will lend them money and take their interest.
Unfortunately, it isn't the borrowing public that makes lawmakers rich with their political donations and in-kind contributions. And their investment has been rewarded: Congress, itself addicted to the contributions and attention they enjoy from these financiers, allowed them to escape any pain.
People can hope the lenders have learned their lesson. We're certain they have. They learned they can continue making high-risk loans and maintaining accounts that aren't sufficiently liquid. After all, Congress has only enabled the continuation of their errant ways by shifting the pain from the abusers to the taxpayers.

The nature of making art typically depends on creating iterations of a core concept or idea. The works included in Seeing in Sequence reveal some of the diversity of approaches available and exploited in the art-making practice. The repetition of visual elements, the use of narrative and the depiction of time are explored in this exhibition.
Andy Warhol effectively changed the way we "read" the image of Marilyn Monroe by using garish colors to undermine the significance and authenticity of the iconic image. The variants in color suggest that rather than being unique, the image is infinitely reproducible. David Deutsch's aerial images of neighborhoods in Los Angeles employ a structure of constants for picture making. Each image is shot from about the same angle, always at night, and there's nothing overly interesting in any specific picture. Through this insistent consistency emerges an inquiry that ponders why these ersatz surveillance images are really revealing something of importance. Jennifer Bartlett's Four Seasons imply a narrative by their title, and the consistency in palette and touch further the progression of the idea. Within each of the four works are images that signify the differences in the seasons with the image of death as a constant throughout them. These are the subtle variations on the stated theme. Ralph Steiner's thirty photographs of clouds speak to photography's insistence on cataloguing "types" as well as the artist's conviction toward stopping time to hold on to the moment. The sheer quantity of meditations on the subject reveals much about his fascination and sustained engagement.
The strategies inherent in working in sequence convey much about how focused an artist can be during the manifestation of an idea. The "compare and contrast" nature of pairings and grids allow the viewer to witness the subtle nuances from image to image. These often-delicate differences from one work to the next are often the record of incremental progress toward resolution.

As the project progressed, its principal movers decided to outfit the ship with six sails: the three topsails, two jibs, and the spanker—essentially, what was once referred to as "fighting sail," minus the topgallants.
Sailing the ship would be the 65 members of her regular crew augmented by about 35 civilians from the Naval Historical Detachment, Boston, and about 40 selected Naval Reservists and Naval Academy and NROTC midshipmen—about a third of the complement that sailed her in the old days. Their training, begun in May 1996, took place on board the USCGC Eagle , the recreated HMS Bounty , at the Courageous Sail Center in Boston's Charlestown Navy Yard, and in the ship herself.
As New England warmed to spring, official Washington warmed to the coming experiment to such a degree that the serious purpose soon was lost in the scramble to participate in a media event. Word was that if you were lower than flag rank you had no hope of being present. The pot really began to boil when rumors spread that the President and First Lady would be there. By the first week in June, stories came from Marblehead of Secret Service not-so-secret "sweeping" activities, preparing for the presidential presence. These tales competed with another that said the First Couple wasn't coming at all.
The main event was divided into three phases over two days to accommodate guest lists from Washington. On Sunday, 20 July, the Constitution was towed from her mooring and taken to sea. Following her out, and taking up stations on either quarter were the USS Ramage (DDG-61) and the USS Halyburton (FFG-40). Coast Guard patrol craft kept a swarm of spectator boats at a safe distance. Heading toward Marblehead, the tow again was slackened and sails set as a dress rehearsal for the following morning. Nearly 200 guests stood on the gratings over the main hatch for the hour or so involved with sail handling.
On Monday, 21 July, reporters and their gear were everywhere, from first light on. In the larboard waist, for example, CBS had set up shop, and immediately aft of them was CNN. Then came "Good Morning America," while a couple of local radio personalities perched themselves aft on the taffrail. Launches from several yacht clubs delivered a gaggle of U.S. Senators, the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief and Vice Chief of Naval Operations, an armada of admirals, and a sentimental favorite, Walter Cronkite. By 0900 or so, the last of the A-list were on board and the ship was under way, being towed clear of the small harbor with an uncharacteristically northerly wind.
As Chief Boatswain's Mate Joseph Wilson, in the role of sailing master, ordered the crew aloft, the tow was cast off. Out on the yards, the topsails were loosed on each mast as the inner jib was set forward. "One knot" was reported. On deck once more, the crew manned halyards to haul up the main topsail yard, then sheeted the sail home and braced it 'round to catch the wind. Gaping mouths were commonplace as the largest of the frigate's sails—more than 3,500 square feet—filled with the breeze; tears were flowing, too. "Two knots." The outer jib was set and the foretopsail. "Three knots." Next came the mizzen topsail and finally, the spanker. "Four knots." For an hour she sailed to the south southwest, as hundreds of spectator boats milled around at a respectful distance and helicopters darted about with their cargoes of cameramen.
While spectators on and off the ship were awed by the appearance of an old form of propulsion, high technology was being employed elsewhere in the ship to ensure her safety. Piloting throughout all phases of the event was done using the Global Positioning System, mainly under the charge of some of the ship's former skippers. A modern, hand-held anemometer also saw action in lieu of a dog vane mounted on a shroud or backstay. And deep in the bilges, input from sensors and onsite inspectors permitted a sophisticated computerized damage-control program to assess any and every little shift in the ship's structure as she pitched gently through the mild swells. Never did anyone have cause for alarm.
At 1230, small dots over Marblehead soon evolved into the Navy's Blue Angels precision flight team, closing in at 300 feet. It seemed as though they tickled the main truck as they passed overhead, and it was a sight that thrilled all viewers as both old and new contributed elements of grace and beauty to the combined picture. After several more passes, the "Blues" disappeared into the lowering northern sky.
The ship's return to Marblehead was under tow with the sails furled. There, launches disembarked the guests and brought on those invited for the final phase, the return to Boston. In the interim, anyone who chanced to visit the berth deck found a scene from the Old Navy: hammocks full of exhausted crew members sprawled in all attitudes of repose, dead to the world.
Under way a final time late in the afternoon, somewhat behind schedule, the tow back to Boston went faster than before. Yet the crew took time to have the sails set one more time. Intermittent showers rendered the evolution a bit more difficult for the tiring crew, but everything went smoothly and safely.
The Constitution ended these eventful two days at her regular berth about 2100 Monday evening in a shower. But no one's enthusiasm possibly could be dampened. The crew responded enthusiastically to the welcoming cheers of the waiting crowd on both sides of the slip, and all were thrilled by the unfurling of gigantic U.S. and Navy Department flags from the tall booms of two mobile cranes parked pier-side. Walking down the lighted brow into another wet twilight somehow was a proper conclusion to this unique event.
The Constitution came through the experiment with flying colors. Data collected during each phase confirmed the correctness of the computer and model tank findings. The return of Humphreys's diagonal riders and associated structures to the ship had given her back the ability to resist hogging and related hull distortions that a second-class "restoration" had denied her more than a century before.
Could the Constitution sail again? Yes—in winds of less than ten knots, in seas of a foot or less, with a half-dozen sails or so, for a brief period, close to home. Should it be done? Not unless it relates directly and clearly to her continued well-being. Diagonal riders notwithstanding, she is still a ship with a 200year-old keel, 200-year-old floor timbers, and 200-year-old first futtocks. With the return of the riders, she is like one's great-great grandmother who has undergone hip replacement surgery. The operation has given her relief from pain and the ability to move about more easily; it does not ready her for roller blades. We must remember that she is the sole surviving member of the U.S. Navy to have been a part of the organization since before the department existed, and it behooves us to do all we can to respect and to preserve her. We must resist any temptations to require her to perform merely for the thrill of it. That's abusive. For my brother past captains and myself, it is one thing to be known as a former captain. It would be quite unthinkable to have to live with the title "last captain."
Commander Martin was the Constitution 's 58th captain and served as historical commentator for the event he describes here.

In Search Of...Consumers Bakery
Longtime Owners Ready for New Chapter
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Consumers Bakery in downtown La Crosse is one of those businesses that is just a part of this communities history. And if you wander in on any given morning you will most likely find Bob Riel - or 'Baker Bob' as he's better known, whipping up one of his many creations. "We do a lot of these fried pies. Pastries. And a lot of fancy stuff too."
It's a pretty impressive talent for a guy who sort of stumbled into the baking business. "My dad bought the store and my brother worked in the meat market and I came back here and worked. And it was good. I didn't know nothing! But I learned."
In 1976, Bob became the sole owner of the bakery. "We've tried a lot of things. The catering is really good for us. We do a lot of wedding cakes and other cakes and that I really like. And I've got a good helper over there."
His 'helper' is his wife Kay who is here day in and day out right by Bob's side. But 30 years ago - she never thought she be such an important part Consumers success. "I came in to visit one day and pretty soon I was answering the phone and the 'oh honey, could you help me with this? Are you coming back again tomorrow?!"
Together, they have grown this business into a household name. They make hundreds and hundreds of wedding cakes each year. "One Saturday we did 13. Oh man that was nuts! I said 'Kay, we ain't doing that anymore!"
They single handedly serve up the food for La Crosse's Thanksgiving community dinner and have made their holiday gingerbread house classes a yearly tradition for so many families. And then there's the long list of catering jobs they've had throughout the years! "There's one customer we've been catering for 35 years! That's gotta tell you something."
They have books and books full of thank you notes. They have pictures of every wedding cake they've made throughout the years. "I had a mother and daughter walk in one time and the mother says 'you did my cake years ago.' I said wait - and I'll pick it out. And I said 'here's your cake! She couldn't believe it."
So many great memories. But last year, Bob and Kay decided it's about time to hang up their aprons. "Is it hard to think about walking away, Bob? Well, yeah. But it's time to do something else. Have some fun. I'm 69! We have a lot of good customers and they're just the best customers. They don't want me to quit."
But quitting is not what they have in mind. Bob and Kay have made it their mission to find just the right person to sell the bakery to and they've set the bar for a replacement pretty high. "Do the same thing I'm doing.
It's been a good ride and a great partnership. "You've had a good partner along the way? The best. Anyone you ask - they know Baker Bob. And they love him. They love his buns!"
As they near the end of this more than 35 year run, they both look back and hope people remember them for one thing. "That we did a good job. That's important to me. And I think we did."

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Artist Nadim Abbas is collaborating with Absolut: creating an Art Bar Installation in Hong Kong for the duration of Art Basel in Hong Kong, Absolut is a presenting Partner of the renowned Art Fair.
Absolut Art Bar Cocktail Collection for Apocalypse Postponed by Nadim Abbas.
Together with Absolut, Caravan, a United Arab Emirate baset artist collective, presented an Absolut Art bar Installation at the 2014 ARt Dubai. The site-specific, large-scale art installation created by Caravan, named A Grain of Sand, was a unique bar and lounge on the Fort Island in the heart of the art fair.
Little Sun is a charming, joyous, high-quality solar-powered LED lamp developed by the world-renowned Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen.
Artist Olafur Eliasson creates an art bar in the desert.
To give context for the level of anticipation for this year´s Coachella, it took only 2 hours and 37 minutes for the nearly 200,000 tickets to sell out.
Media Artist Timo Wright and Art Educator Laura Porola, both young creative Finns, sat down in Helsinki and came up with an idea of having an exhibition without revealing the artists behind the art.
An exclusive first look at artist Nadim Abass' daring Absolut Art Bar Installation Apocalypse Postponed – a bunker set in the skyline of Hong Kong...
Now that Art Basel in Hong Kong has ended its second edition, the next question is this: what happens next? Of course, this is not about what gallerist Rhona Hoffman noted during the fair's public days, that: "the art fair continues for weeks afterwards." Rather, this is about what happens to Hong Kong's art scene now that Art Basel has cemented its place here.
Another night at Nadim Abbas's Absolut Art Bar, "Apocalypse Postponed": a cyberpunk bunker located on the 17th floor of the newly-opened Soundwill Plaza II–Midtown located in Causeway Bay, a notoriously dense and overpopulated section of Hong Kong.
For anyone who grew up outside of New York – and spent their youth idealizing its culture – likely spent a good amount of time idealizing the bars, restaurants and coffee shops where this culture was born. Places where artists and musicians met to seek refuge from the hardships of the glamorous, unforgiving city, forming the breeding ground for its enchanting cultural mythology.

If approved by the voters, the majority of the money raised, more than $12 million, would be spent on drilling a well into the Jasper aquifer and to build a reverse osmosis plant to treat the water and remove most of the 1,500 parts per million of suspended solids and chlorides.
The treated water would then be blended with a smaller amount of untreated water before being pumped into the city's groundwater storage tanks on West Cleveland Street.
The notice names the polling places for each of the five election wards in the city.
Residents in Ward 1 will vote at the Doctor's Building, 301 S. Hillside Drive. Ward 2 residents will vote at Kid's World Day Care & Learning Center, 1826 S. Washington St. Ward 3 voters will cast ballots at the Police Training Center, 708 W. Milam St. Ward 4 voters will go to the library at R.A. Hall Elementary School, 1100 W. Huntington St. Ward 5 voters will cast ballots at A.C. Jones High School, 1902 N. Adams St.
Early voting by personal appearance will be held at the office of City Secretary Barbara Treviño at City Hall, 400 N. Washington St., from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. from Monday, April 29, until May 3.
Extended-hour early voting by personal appearance will be the same location between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday, May 6, and Tuesday, May 7.
Residents who wish to vote by mail should mail an application for a ballot to the city secretary's office before Friday, May 3.
All mail ballots must be returned to City Hall by mail by election day.
Property owners will want to make their support or opposition known for the project because the bond sale would mean that the taxes on a $75,000 home would increase by almost $18 a month.
However, if the voters fail to approve the bond sale as the Coastal Bend enters the third year of substantial drought, some believe Beeville could be left without a supply of municipal water within two years.
City council members have taken the initiative to prevent that from happening by proposing the well and reverse osmosis plant project.
The council will hold the second town hall meeting on the proposal on Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m. in the Community Center, 111 E. Corpus Christi St.
At the first town hall meeting on March 28, residents learned that the cost of reverse osmosis plants has decreased considerably and the technology has improved.
City Manager Deborah Ballí said this week that there will not be as many speakers at this meeting as there were at the March 28 session.
She expects Kevin Spencer, president of R.W. Harden & Associates, and Bill Norris, of NorrisLeal Engineering Water, both of Austin, will appear Tuesday.
Norris' company is expected to design the well and reverse osmosis plant if the bond issue is approved by voters.
He and Spencer will be able to answer questions from the public.

Chavez did some real good in VenezuelaWritten by Admin
- font size decrease font size increase font size
To the Editor:
With the recent death of Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, there has been much speculation in the media as to whether the reforms he brought about in his countryŌĆÖs economy and society would be retained. As one who visited Venezuela two years ago and saw these changes for myself, I would be very surprised if the vast majority of the population who supported him would allow them to be reversed.
With my group, I met people in both the city of Caracas and the mountain village of Sanara, and several places in between ŌĆö cooperatives, womenŌĆÖs groups, teachers, university students, coffee merchants, health promoters, a dance group, a crew in a peopleŌĆÖs TV station, young people, musicians, a Catholic priest, members of the militia, etc. With the exception of the university students (who complained about raised tuition and reduced services), all were enthusiastic about improvements in their lives and society since Chavez became president and began diverting proceeds from the oil industry away from U.S. oil companies and the local wealthy elite and into improvements in health care, education, infrastructure, and community development.
Among the results from ChavezŌĆÖ policies and programs which I saw:
ŌĆó An increase in the literacy rate from 20 to 90 percent.
ŌĆó An adult education system that took people from illiteracy to community college in 10 years, and made them teachers, paralegals, architects, nurses, paramedics, social workers, etc.
ŌĆó Health centers in villages throughout the country, staffed by Cuban doctors and health promoters, provided in exchange for oil.
ŌĆó A nationwide music education system that has put symphony orchestras in many towns and villages.
ŌĆó An improved road system that enables farmers to deliver their crops to markets in urban centers.
ŌĆó Village councils provided with federal funds and empowered to decide locally how to spend them for their own community development.
ŌĆó Women achieving parity with men in local business and government.
ŌĆó Government-funded daycare centers for small children that allow their mothers to work.
ŌĆó People well-fed, energetic, happy, and enthusiastic about their president and their future.
The people who elected Chavez twice, put him back into power after a CIA-engineered coup tried to force him out, and consistently gave him two-to-one margins of support, will not allow the gains made under his leadership in the above-mentioned areas to be taken away from them.
Some try to discredit this program of utilizing government resources to benefit all the people by calling it ŌĆ£socialism.ŌĆØ I call it ŌĆ£government of the people, by the people, and for the people.ŌĆØ
And isnŌĆÖt it curious how the media invariably refer to leaders like Chavez and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua as ŌĆ£socialist presidents,ŌĆØ and the Castros of Cuba as ŌĆ£communist leaders,ŌĆØ but never refer to presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama as ŌĆ£capitalist leaders?ŌĆØ

Wisconsin has more than $50 million in unclaimed lottery winnings in Wisconsin going back to 1997.
The Post-Crescent in Appleton reports that many lotto game players trash their tickets if they don't win major jackpots. But some of those tickets were worth money, and the pot of unclaimed money keeps growing.
Unclaimed winnings in the most recent fiscal year alone amounted to $2.8 million. That represents only the lotto games of Powerball, Mega Millions, Megabucks, Supercash, Badger 5, Pick 3 and Pick 4. It does not include unclaimed winnings from instant, scratch-off games.
Winners have 180 days to claim prizes. Unclaimed dollars are sent to the lottery's property tax relief fund.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by rhunter Fabulous Sheepskin Earmuffs Because I have enjoyed wearing a pair of these earmuffs for several years, I purchased 2 as Christmas gifts for my daughter and another family member. They were both absolutely thrilled to receive the soft, comfortable earmuffs to keep them warm without messing their hair. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Neni The best and most attractive earmuffs These are super warm, not just for my ears but the top of my head, AND they look nice on me. Other earmuffs, and I have bought several through the years, makes my head look squished and flat on top, ugh, and the top of my head is cold. I wear these all winter long for my chores and also for good, so they are starting to look scruffy. I need to buy a new pair and keep my old one for my chores. I was so happy to see that Vermont Country Store is still carrying them, thank you!! December 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sofie'sMom Comfy and Warm These earmuffs are so warm. I live in Texas, so we don't get too many cold days, but when we do my ears are the first body part to get cold. These earmuffs keep my ears comfy and warm and I can still style my hair and this band doesn't mess up the "do"...... we took a trip to Germany in December and I brought these with me - they paid for themselves over there! I was toasty warm on all our excursions! And they fit me perfectly - no pinching, no tightness, nothing but COMFY AND WARM!!!! November 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Metrowest Boston lady Can't live without them I bought these ear muffs a couple of years ago and honestly I can't live without them. I live in the Northeast and wear these ear muffs constantly. They are like no other ear muffs on the market today. They are light and very warm. I've worn them while shoveling in below freezing temperatures. They are not too tight on my temples, they fit perfectly. If I lost the pair I own, I would immediately buy another one. I am not fond of how hats matt down your hair, so I love how these ear muffs keep your ears and head warm. For me, an absolute "cannot live without". February 2, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Rozy Warm Earmuffs with too tight temples. I love the warmth of the shearling. The band is very tight at the temples, and I need to bend them outward to make them comfortable each time I put them on. December 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Glenda These earmuffs fit beautifully and provide warmth with a lot of pizazz! I ordered the earmuffs in preparation for a trip to the northeast in December. The earmuffs were just what I needed to keep my sensitive ears warm without messing up my hairdo. December 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alexis17 Perfect! These fit well, feel nice, flatter my face and match the collar of my cape. Just what I have been looking for! November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jersey Girl So Far, They are Perfect for Me I needed a warm pair of earmuffs for the winter and when I saw these, I ordered them. I am very pleased, they fit me just perfect and fit snugly to my head and ears. I am going to order another pair. I just hope they hold up with daily use for years to come as two pair of cheaper earmuffs broke this month when I opened them to put on my head! So far, so good! December 30, 2012

OCLC WorldShare™ Platform
Helping libraries, developers and partners operate at Webscale and innovate collectively
OCLC is working together with members of the library community to build a platform for exchange, innovation and collaboration to help libraries operate at Webscale: the OCLC WorldShare Platform
The OCLC WorldShare Platform is a global, interconnected Web architecture that supports OCLC's Webscale services and applications, and provides flexible, open access to library data through APIs and other Web services. Libraries, developers and partners can use this data to innovate together to build and share apps that streamline and enhance their local library workflows. The OCLC WorldShare Platform facilitates collaboration and app-sharing across the library community, so that libraries can combine OCLC-built applications, library-built applications and partner-built applications. This enables the benefits of each single solution to be shared broadly throughout the library community. Unlike traditional APIs and Web Services, the OCLC WorldShare Platform allows community members to browse and install apps directly into subscribed OCLC services and allows developers to create and share apps that don't require OCLC services at all.
The OCLC WorldShare App Gallery provides a central place where you can see available apps and install them into your current work environment. Developers can showcase their creativity, partners can create add-on functionality and library staff can find practical, everyday solutions to streamline and enhance their workflows.
Web Services let you interact with library data on the open Web. Through the platform, you gain access to a consistent set of business- and data-level APIs and Web services—both production and experimental, read and write services. See the full list of available Web Services.
Data about libraries and their collections is at the heart of the WorldShare Platform. An extended view of WorldCat includes metadata, databases and content across digital, licensed and physical materials in a vendor-neutral space. Data resources include the WorldCat Registry, the WorldCat knowledge base and more.
Who can use the OCLC WorldShare Platform?
Access to the WorldShare App Gallery is open to everyone. Developers at libraries with active subscriptions to one or more OCLC products can access any of the Web Services available through the WorldShare Platform in a test environment. To move an app into production, a library must secure a use license for the service—typically a subscription to the relevant product.
If you have developers at your institution—related to the library or not—enlist their participation in this community through the OCLC Developer Network.

Foundations of the "Like Precious Faith"
(Thread begun by: RandyP)
- Before we get started I would would ask that you do two things in preparation:
- Re-read the entire chapter kjv@2Peter:1 that this series will be based upon.
- Take a look at the original application workup sheet folpfapp1.html
The FoundationsOfTheLikePreciousFaithSeries is based upon one easy to find chapter toward the end of the New Testament kjv@2Peter:1 that we use as a map to the bible's greater context. Bookmark it! This will become our flow sheet for discovering the pathway to spiritual productivity, being fruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
This divides nicely into three distinct sections that you can mark in your Bible:
- kjv@2Peter:1:1-4 The core foundational "like precious" belief - FoundationsOfTheLikePreciousFaith.
- kjv@2Peter:1:5-11 The means of applying the core foundation to daily living - ApplicationsOfTheLikePreciousFaith.
- kjv@2Peter:1:12-27 The reasoning we put these foundational elements into constant remembrance and put them forward in our lives JustificationsOfTheLikePreciousFaith.
You have now seen a sneak peek of the first of several practical application aids that will soon be considered to help you "have these things in you and abound". It can be used as a framework for further study, for prayer, for self inventory, for counseling and spiritual planning. Without knowing something more about it however, it will likely be foreign and nonsensical to you until some elemental foundations are better developed.
Please follow this foundational platform sequentially the first two or three times round expanding outward into the provided context with each pass.
For Online Version Readers:
Helpful hint: Click on verse numbers once then once again to get to a parallel rendering of the KJV with Strongs Greek Lexicon mapping and Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge links. (try it now kjv@2Peter:1:1)
Helpful hint: Click on the underlined words and phrases to get to the Seeker search page for that word or phrase. There you will find a wealth of resources such as dictionaries and system look ups. (try it now Peter)
Primary Text - The Foundations of the "Like Precious Faith"
kjv@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
kjv@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
kjv@2Peter:1:3 @ According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
kjv@2Peter:1:4 @ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Contextual Anchors - Foundations v1-4
Think of Peter's discourse as containing numerous anchors for us to fasten the greater contexts of scripture upon. If true, we should be finding more and more context to afix to it, the weight of context sending us directions to the greatest and most practical insights. By the time we put the chapter context back into it's intended perspective we should have means to much greater spiritual productivity effecting our lives and the lives of others surrounding us.
Please familiarize yourself for now with each segment as we will be making use of each frequently when we start drawing together specific applications:
- SimonPeter
- ServantApostleOf
- FaithObtainedThroughRighteousnessGodSavior
- GracePeaceMultipliedKnowledgeGodJesus

The popular gesture-based passcode tweak Stride has been updated for iOS 7 devices. While the experience is similar to the iOS 5/6 version, Stride 2 has also received a clean, native-like makeover for iOS 7.
This tweak allows users to set an alternative lock screen passcode, using a custom gesture to unlock their iOS device. After installing the tweak, you can set the gesture passcode in Stride 2's preferences in the Settings app. Stride 2 also requires that you set a standard passcode as a backup option. It's also fully compatible with Touch ID.

Complaints merge over troubled 'yield'Photo by Jennifer Langille
State officials have decided to discontinue an experiment designed to improve safety at the junction of Berlin State Highway (entering from the left in this photo) and Route 62. They will remove the pylons they installed and return the "Yield" sign they removed. Next year officials hope to reconfigure the area where the two roads converge as part of an upgrade to the nearby intersection of Route 62 and Airport and Fisher roads.
BERLIN — Some people love the sticklike white pylons that have created a dedicated lane for fast-moving traffic heading up the Berlin State Highway to Route 62 from the Barre-Montpelier Road; others, not so much.
Love them or hate them, state officials say the pylons won't be around much longer and the "Yield" sign they replaced will be making a comeback while the state refines plans to reconfigure the troublesome junction that feeds one of the most studied intersections in central Vermont.
An interim fix for the signalized intersection where Airport and Fisher roads meet Route 62 has been postponed until next year. That, officials say, is when they hope to construct a permanent solution for the poorly designed junction nearby.
The answer — a "chicane" — may have a familiar ring to race fans, but Josh Schultz, who is managing the entire intersection upgrade for the state Agency of Transportation, said it's technically not an engineering term.
Though Schultz said the agency has produced only the roughest of sketches so far, the concept — forcing traffic heading up the Berlin State Highway to curve slightly to the left and then swing back to the right before merging with Route 62 — has promise.
"We're evaluating it right now, but we think it could work," he said.
Nothing else has.
According to Schultz, that includes the soon-to-be-abandoned experiment that relied on a string of plastic pylons to create a dedicated lane for Route 62-bound motorists who frequently ignored the "Yield" sign that was once posted at the top of the Berlin State Highway.
Thanks to mixed reviews and a number of reported near misses, Schultz said the pylons will be removed in the next several weeks, the road restriped and the "Yield" sign returned.
"We figured the old situation (with the 'Yield' sign) will be better to get us through this summer and winter," he said, quickly conceding it is far from optimal.
"It's an awkward yield condition for both parties," he said. "It kind of puts both drivers — on Route 62 and Berlin State Highway — in each others' blind spots."MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

"Of course, $92,000 is wonderful," said David Silva, county judge. "That is significant."
Extrapolating it out, that could mean $184K within a year – assuming everything remains the same.
"Not everybody in Bee County will have registered their vehicle already," Silva said.
This program, which began in Bee County on Jan. 1, allows the county to reject registration for individuals who have an outstanding fine or fee and send them to the court where money is owed. Those with delinquent taxes also can set up payment plans to settle their bills. Only after clearing or making payment arrangements can they register their vehicles.
In these first months, clerks rejected registration for 426 vehicles. All but 89 settled or made payment arrangements for their debts.
During the program's first month, the county collected $10,115 in past due taxes.
For now, only three of the four justice of the peace courts are on the system.
Combined in Precincts 1 and 3, the county collected $1,658 in fines and fees with the highest amount coming from Precinct 3. An amount collected from JP 4 was not available on Monday; however, that court had only four registration rejections through the program during these past six months.
Fine and fee collection peaked during the month of February, with $11,461 coming into the county from JPs 1 and 3.
It wasn't until June that the most in past due taxes was collected though.
During that month, $19,293 was collected, which is in line with the escalating prior months of $18K in May and $11K in April.
The total amount of past due taxes collected during these first six months was $70,273. The total amount in fines and fees from JP Precinct 1 was $4,787 and $17,536 from JP Precinct 3.
The total amount collected in past due taxes is only the first payment if a payment plan is agreed upon. The current software doesn't track the additional payments.
Linda Bridge, county tax assessor/collector, was thrilled with the amount collected so far.
"We were hoping to get that much," she said. "I think that is awesome."
Bridge said that once their success becomes known by area county officials, she expects others to join the program.
"Once our numbers get out, more counties would want to come and implement," Bridge said.
Bee was one of the first smaller counties to implement the program following the lead of El Paso, Dallas and Cameron counties.
Silva said that the additional money is a perk for the county's budget; however, he reminded that it won't always be reoccurring at this amount. Eventually, the amount past due will dwindle.
"Eventually, it will dry up," he said.
About five months ago, the Beeville City Council approved municipal court joining this relatively new program.
For the county, the program is a free service offered by NetData – the company which handles the county's digital court infrastructure.
While this system won't necessary clear up all the money owed to the county, the primary goal is to help the justice of the peace courts collect outstanding fines and fees that are due them and to reduce the amount of delinquent taxes.

Hi all, my name is Sarah, and I've been breastfeeding for 11 weeks.
I guess I'm looking for a little advice. I have a forceful letdown and oversupply I think - although my son has always had normal yellow poos, if a little on the explosive side. He is gaining weight really well - 4lb 13oz at birth, 13lb 9oz when weighed today.
My little man seems to feed quite well at night - he pops off at let down, then manages quite well and settles back to sleep nicely.
However, the last couple of days he has been crying and screaming after he re-attaches following let down. He fights to get back on, takes a few sucks and then pulls off again crying. I wind him, try laying down with him, tried laid back positions, but nothing seems to help or console him. It's so upsetting. Its breaking my heart that he feels so miserable at the breast, I want it to be a place of warmth and comfort.
I'm block nursing at the moment to try and sort out my oversupply, but can anyone offer me any advice? I really don't want to quit breastfeeding, but I'm not sure how much more of this my heart can take
Thank you in advance.

Nikon D810 Review - The Nikon D810 is the manufacturer's latest full frame DSLR, arriving with the promise of the best image quality of any Nikon DSLR ever.
Nikon D810 Review
Two years ago the manufacturer launched a pair of DSLRs in the form of the D800 and the D800E, with the main difference between the two being that the D800E has the effects of its low pass filter cancelled out.
Nikon has now replaced the two of those models with a single new model – the Nikon D810.
What makes this DSLR notable is that it's the first full frame DSLR to be completely lacking in an optical low pass filter – rather than have its effect negated as seen previously – and as a result Nikon claims it'll produce the best image quality in its history.
There's no doubt this is a lofty claim, so let's take a closer look and see whether these claims ring true.
Nikon D810 Review – Features
Nikon's claims of the D810 offering the very best image quality of any Nikon DSLR ever are made possible by an impressive sensor.
The chip found in the D810 is a 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor with a 36.3MP resolution. This, combined with the absence of a low-pass filter, means that the D810 should be capable of capturing an excellent amount of detail.
One by-product of the high resolution and large sensor is that the D810 produces some huge files which can quickly fill up your memory card and then, in turn, bring your post-processing equipment to a grinding halt.
The good news is that Nikon has given the D810 a wider range of image capture formats including a new 'S Raw' format which captures images at 9MP and uncompressed and thus a smaller file size.
Images can be captured at a native ISO range of 64-12,800, extendable to ISO 32-51,200 when the need arises.
Processing power
Despite the hefty resolution, the presence of Nikon's Expeed 4 processor means that images can be captured at around 5fps – a speed not to be sniffed at – while this can be increased to some 6fps if you're happy to shoot in DX crop mode.
On the rear of the camera you'll find a 3.2in, 1.23m-dot LCD screen which is as well specified as most other full frame DSLRs, while as you would expect the model also features an optical viewfinder to aid composition.
If you're interested in video capture, the good news is that the D810 caters well for those needs as well. Although it doesn't offer the new ultra-HD 4K video capture, it does still capture at 1920 x 1080p Full HD.
The video capture capabilities are also fairly comprehensive in terms of frame rate, with 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p and 24p all on offer, as well as 60 and 50p at the slightly lower resolution 1280 x 720 setting.
One other welcome feature is the presence of a small pop-up flash which can obviously be used to illuminate a scene as well as trigger off-camera Nikon flash guns.
Unfortunately the D810 doesn't feature Wi-fi or GPS as standard, however there is the option to add the functionality through a range of extra adapters. This helps keep the cost of the camera down for those who wouldn't usually use the Wi-fi functionality.
Nikon D810 Review – Design
If you're familiar with the D800 and the D800E, the D810 will be fairly recognisable straight away. That's not to say that there aren't differences between the new model and its predecessors, and the most noted of these is with regards to the placement of the buttons.
As a result of user feedback, according to Nikon, the D810 features several button placement refinements, including the introduction of a new 'I' button and slightly less indentation around the image review and delete buttons.
The previously fiddly metering mode button has been replaced by a dedicated button taking the place of the bracketing button, which is now housed on the side of the camera.
Grip adjustments
The camera's grip also sees some design tweaks, with a larger indentation for the middle camera and a larger thumb rest area on the rear of the camera. These two changes are welcome as they give the D810 a more secure feel in the hand while shooting.
In terms of the camera's build quality, it really is a solid workhorse of a camera. The body is comprised of magnesium alloy and although that makes the camera heavy – at a touch under 1kg in weight – the improved weather sealing means it will really stand up to tough conditions.
Nikon D810 Review – Performance
When it comes to the performance level of the Nikon D810, it excels in every department.
The model utilises the same Multi-Cam 3500FX AF system as seen in the D4S, and as a result it delivers lightning-fast AF even in low and difficult lighting conditions. The set-up features 51 focus points which are concentrated towards the middle of the frame and can be altered between using the various focus modes.
When shooting in live view mode the D810's mirror is locked up, and as such the camera must rely on contrast detect autofocus, a method which naturally isn't as quick as the conventional set-up. That being said, in live view mode you can magnify the display by up to 23x and as such it aids manual focus acquirement.
LCD performance
Not only is the LCD screen one of the best specified in the market in terms of size and resolution, but it also benefits from the addition of a fourth white dot per pixel. In real terms, this means the screen offers better visibility in bright conditions and reduces power consumption in lower light.
The screen also adjusts brightness to suit the conditions you're shooting in, and on the whole it's a screen which impresses and certainly feels like an improvement.
Nikon D810 Review – Image Quality
Colour and white balance
In the default JPEG settings colours are generally well rendered across the whole range, with skin tones particularly well rendered. Colours also appear natural, and if you do want to add more punch there is a wide range of customisation available through the various colour settings.
As you might expect, the camera's auto white balance is also impressively reliable and presents very few issues when shooting in a range of conditions.
The D810 utilises the same 91,000-pixel RGB sensor as seen on both the D800 and D800E, and the good news is that it remains impressive.
Exposures are generally well balanced, even in dark conditions and areas of high contrast, meaning you can rely on the camera the get the decisions right should you require.
There's also a new 'Highlight' mode which specifically looks to preserve highlight detail. When you consider just how much detail can be drawn from shadow areas thanks to the large dynamic range this option is certainly welcome.
In terms of detail which the D810 can resolve, it's one of the most impressive camera's on the market. At base ISO it almost out resolves test charts, and as such the level of detail the camera will capture is startling.
Across the lower ISO settings the D810 handles noise really well, managing smooth and good quality images up to ISO 3200.
Above this there does begin to be a few signs of luminance noise in the shadow areas, although it is well managed and is certainly still useable, although ISO 25,600 and 51,200 are best reserved for emergencies.
Raw vs. JPEG
JPEG files are generally well processed, with the D810 handling both colour management and noise control well.
That being said you'll likely want to handle noise processing and colour yourself, and as such it would be advisable to shoot Raw files, especially if you're having to shoot at the higher ISO settings.
Nikon D810 Review – Verdict
Although the D810 isn't a complete overhaul in comparison to its predecessors, the improvements which have been made are certainly welcomed.
The improvements to the LCD screen are instantly noticeable and really betters the image review process.
It's also welcome to have the varying file size options so that you don't have to always shoot at the 36.3MP resolution and therefore fill up your memory cards.
Also as with before the level of image quality is truly stunning, and the removal of the low pass filter means that the level of detail captured is stunning.
Overall, the D810 is a truly welcome upgrade and one of the very best DSLRs on the market.
Nikon D810 – Sample Image Gallery
These are just a small selection of images captured with the Nikon D810. For a wider range, head on over to the Nikon D810 review sample image gallery.
First Look
Replacing both the D800 and the D800E, the new D810 slots into Nikon's lineup just below the D4S and just above the D610.
Nikon bills the D810 as being pitched at professional and 'advanced aspirational' photographers.
With 36.3MP of resolution, the D810 boasts the highest image quality of any camera currently in Nikon's lineup. This is further enhanced by the fact that Nikon have removed the optical low-pass filter.
In a first for a DSLR, the D810's ISO range starts at ISO 64. Natively it goes up to ISO 12,800, however the range can be extended to ISO 32-51,200.
Plenty of the internals in the D810 have been borrowed from the D4s, not least of which is the Expeed 4 processing engine, which gives the D810 a boost in terms of image rendering and the aforementioned ISO capability.
Image: The Nikon D810's sensor
Also lifted from the D4s is the Multi-CAM 3500FX AF system, which boasts 51 AF points and Group Area AF mode.
The D810 is able to shoot full-resolution images at up to 5fps, and can manage 7fps in X crop mode (15.3MP).
It also boasts a new Raw Size S file format, which delivers 12-bit uncompressed NEF files that can be transferred faster than ordinary Raw files – useful for photographers who don't necessarily need the full power of the 36MP sensor.
In terms of metering, the D810 has a new Weighted Metering mode which takes its cue from the highlights of an image. Nikon says this should be particularly useful for theater or concert photography, where the main subject is typically lit by a very bright spotlight.
The 3.2-inch LCD screen features 1,229,000 dots of resolution and an anti-reflective surface. The colour balance and brightness can also be extensively adjusted, and a new split-screen Live View mode allows for quicker, more accurate monitoring.
A number of Picture Control settings allow the user to streamline their post-processing. 'Flat' setting maximises dynamic range , while the 'Clarity' setting allows for fine adjustments of minute detail.
The magnesium alloy body of the Nikon D810 has been extensively sealed to be resistant against weather and dust.
A new electronic front-curtain shutter has also been included to minimise internal vibations and reduce the risk of slight blur in subtle details.
In terms of movies, some may be surprised to learn that the D810 does not shoot 4K video. What it does shoot is Full HD (1080p) movies in FX and DX format at 50 and 60p.
Videographers have access to the D810's full ISO sensitivity range, and audio can be recorded via a 3.5mm jack input. The D810 also features Zebra mode, which indicates when highlights are blown when shooting video.
The Nikon D810 will be on sale from July 17, priced £2699.99 body-only. We'll have our hands-on first thoughts of this new camera up soon, so check back with us.
