Environment: The Central Plains The Central Plains extend from eastern Ohio to the edge of the Great Plains in the west; they are lower in elevation and receive more annual average rainfall than the Great Plains to the west of the 100 ° West meridian; the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers traverse this area 100 ° West longitude Pictured above: A 1907 postcard image of a steamboat near St. Louis, Missouri.

The Oregon, Mormon, and Santa Fe trails all crossed this region. Washington Irving, in his Astoria, published in 1836, wrote: "This region which resembles one of the ancient steppes of Asia has not inaptly been termed 'The Great American Desert.' It spreads forth into undulating and treeless plains and desolate sandy wastes, wearisome to the eye from their extent and monotony. It is a land where no man permanently abides, for at certain seasons of the year there is no food for the hunter or his steed."

Environment: The Dust Bowl In the 1930s, the Great Plains witnessed one of the world's greatest manmade ecological disasters, as a series of severe droughts struck the Midwest region. In prior decades, farmers had plowed up the native prairie grass in order to grow more wheat and other grains to meet growing world demand. With native grasses gone and crops withering in the fields, nothing remained to hold down the thin layer of topsoil, which blew away and created massive dust storms. See Ken Burns' PBS documentary series on the Dust Bowl. http://www.pbs.org/ kenburns/dustbowl/ http://www.pbs.org/ kenburns/dustbowl/ The photographic images on this page are available on the website for Wessels Living History Farm in York, Nebraska.

Economy: Agriculture Technology has played a critical role in the farming history of the Midwest. Pictured above is an original John Deere steel plow (first invented in Illinois in 1837); a modern John Deere tractor and plow are pictured below. The Illinois State Museum's exhibit on the history of Illinois agriculture provides images, background, and activities on the subject: http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/agriculture/ http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/agriculture/ The Midwest is one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the United States. Both the "Corn Belt" and the "Wheat Belt" are located in the Midwest. The region is also one of the leading producers of soybeans in the country. The National Agricultural Statistics Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture produces maps that show crop production by county. The map below shows the "Corn Belt" in dark green. http://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Crops_County/i ndex.asp
Economy: Railroads Railroads have played a vital role in the settlement and economic development of the Midwest region since the mid- 1800s. The Pacific Railroad Act, signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, provided for the incorporation of the Union Pacific Railroad and the construction of the nation's first railroad linking the eastern United States to the Pacific West. Building west from Council Bluffs, Iowa, the Union Pacific (UP) eventually met up with the Central Pacific line working east from California at Promontory Point, Utah in May 1869, thus creating the Transcontinental Railroad. A journey that once took pioneers nearly six months along the westward trails could now be made in six days. Today, UP is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska and operates the nation's largest railroad network. Above: A Chicago railroad freight yard.

Both images are from the Chicago History Museum's online exhibit "Slaughterhouse to the World." http://www.chicagohs.org/history/stock.html In the years following the Civil War, the meatpacking industry emerged as a major part of the nation's economy. Ranchers shipped their beef cattle east on railroads to stockyards in cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha. Several major meatpacking companies, including Swift and Armour, were headquartered in Chicago and used advertising (see the image below) to help promote the sale of meat products.

Economy: Manufacturing Henry Ford (pictured above) founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903 and began producing the Model T in 1908 using mass production techniques. The Midwest is home to some of the most important manufacturing centers in the nation. Perhaps the most important Midwest industry is automobile manufacturing, which started in the Detroit area around 1900. The steel and tire industries have also played a critical role in Midwestern economic development. Since the 1960s, the industrial Midwest has suffered a gradual decline due to foreign competition and the movement of factories and jobs from the "Rust Belt" to the warmer states of the "Sun Belt" in the southern and western U.S. Below: Ford's assembly line in 1913, http://www.americaslibrary.gov/es/ mi/es_mi_detroit_1_e.html Left: Ford's River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, c. 1930s.

People: The Lakota Above: Citizenship ceremony at Fort Yates, North Dakota. The U.S. government encouraged the Lakota to assimilate as American citizens and give up their cultural identity. Citizenship rituals required that the Lakota recite an oath like the following: "_________________ (white name). What was your Indian name? (Gives name.) _________________ (Indian name). I hand you a bow and an arrow. Take this bow and shoot the arrow. (He shoots.) _________________ (Indian name). You have shot your last arrow. That means that you are no longer to live the life of an Indian. You are from this day forward to live the life of the white man. But you may keep that arrow, it will be to you a symbol of your noble race and of the pride you feel that you come from the first of all Americans…" Source: http://www.ndstudies.org/resources/IndianS tudies/standingrock/docs_citizenship.html The Lakota (Sioux) of the north central plains region attempted to retain their independence in the face of westward settlement and U.S. policies that eventually forced them on to reservations in the Dakotas. Their leaders, such as Sitting Bull (pictured above left), challenged U.S. treaty violations and successfully confronted the U.S. military at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 (aka, "Custer's Last Stand" pictured above right). However, this victory was short-lived, as the Lakota were eventually forced to accept life on reservations operated by the U.S. government. In 1890, the so- called "battle" of Wounded Knee in South Dakota resulted in a massacre of Lakota (pictured right) and represented the last violent confrontation between Native Americans and the U.S. government. Click on photos for Library of Congress links.
Wounded Knee After being forced on to reservations by the late 1880s, Native Americans across the West responded to the call of Wavoka, a Pauite mystic known as "the Messiah", to revive Native American traditions through the Ghost Dance ritual. Wavoka's prophecy that a day would soon come when the white man would disappear and the buffalo would return gave hope to a desperate people. However, the Ghost Dance movement also created concern that Native Americans were planning a general uprising against U.S. authority. Increasing tensions led to the massacre of Lakota at Wounded Knee. The picture below from The Illustrated London News of January 3, 1891, depicts a Ghost Dance ceremony. Source: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2006681363/ The following ballad was composed by Private W.H. Prather, an African-American cavalryman, to commemorate the military's actions at Wounded Knee. This source and the photo of Bigfoot's frozen corpse above are from the PBS website for The West, which also has an archive of documents and images related to the Lakota: http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/resources/archives/ "The Red Skins left their Agency, the Soldiers left their Post, All on the strength of an Indian tale about Messiah's ghost Got up by savage chieftains to lead their tribes astray; But Uncle Sam wouldn't have it so, for he ain't built that way. They swore that this Messiah came to them in visions sleep, And promised to restore their game and Buffalos a heap, So they must start a big ghost dance, then all would join their land, And may be so we lead the way into the great Bad Land. Chorus: They claimed the shirt Messiah gave, no bullet could go through, But when the Soldiers fired at them they saw this was not true. The Medicine man supplied them with their great Messiah's grace, And he, too, pulled his freight and swore the 7th hard to face…" The Lakota leader, Bigfoot, thought he was leading his people to safety when they entered the Pine Ridge Reservation in December 1890. Instead, they were attacked and massacred by soldiers.
People: Homesteaders The Homestead Act of 1862 opened up western lands in the Plains region to farm families in the late 1800s. Homesteaders could obtain up to 160 acres of land for a $10 registration fee and proof of residence. Railroad companies also sold land to prospective farmers and profited from storing their grain and shipping their produce to market. The image pictured to the right is an 1872 railroad company ad aimed at enticing prospective land owners.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Perhaps no homesteader is more famous than Laura Ingalls Wilder, the credited author of the famous "Little House" series of eleven books published between 1932 and 1974. The books recount Laura's childhood and early adulthood in the late 1800s and provide a firsthand glimpse of the challenges of living on the Midwestern frontier, from the north woods of Wisconsin to the plains of Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota. After moving many times around the country and experiencing great financial and physical hardships, Laura and her husband, Almanzo, settled in the Missouri Ozarks in 1894 and remained there until their deaths – Almanzo in 1949 at the age of 92 and Laura in 1957 at the age of 90. Their daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, an accomplished writer, likely had a hand in helping to author her mother's books. By the 1970s, the "Little House" series had achieved widespread national popularity and inspired the long- running Little House on the Prairie television series (pictured above). For background and primary resources on Laura Ingalls Wilder, check out the following sites: http://www.liwfrontiergirl.com/ http://lauraingallswilderhome.com/ The National Archives also has a collection of documents related to Charles Ingalls' (Laura's father) homestead claims: http://www.archives.gov/research/land/ingalls/index.html http://www.archives.gov/research/land/ingalls/index.html
People: Immigrants Above: Photograph of the Pettersens, a Norwegian immigrant family, in front of their farm home near Lodi, Wisconsin, c. 1870; from photographer Andreas Larsen Dahl's collection; available on the Wisconsin Historical Society's website: http://wiscohisto.tumblr.com/post/35638753045/ the-pettersen-family-in-front-of-their-home-lodi http://wiscohisto.tumblr.com/post/35638753045/ the-pettersen-family-in-front-of-their-home-lodi Midwestern cities and rural areas attracted a growing number of immigrants in the late 1800s and through the 20 th century. Large numbers of Germans and Scandinavians settled the north central plains and a diverse mix of European immigrants helped to create a "melting pot" of cultures in large cities such as Chicago. The Chicago Historical Society's "The History Files" has resources on topics such as the Chicago Fire of 1871: http://www.chicagohs.org/history/index.htmlhttp://www.chicagohs.org/history/index.html Below Left: 1916 aerial view of Chicago.

The institution was America's first "settlement house" designed to help newly-arrived immigrants adapt to urban American society. The University of Illinois - Chicago has created a web site on Hull House and the immigrant experience in Chicago that provides helpful background and multiple primary source documents: http://www.uic.edu/jaddams/hull/urbanexp/
People: The Great Migration U.S. involvement in the world wars of the early 1900s increased the demand for industrial labor in Northern factories, including those of the Midwest. The lure of jobs and new economic opportunities drew thousands of African-American families from the rural South to Midwestern cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland. The "Great Migration" resulted in the establishment of large African- American communities in areas such as Chicago's "South Side" and the emergence of a vibrant culture in which blues and jazz music played a central role. The Library of Congress online exhibit entitled "Chicago: Destination for the Great Migration" includes related maps, photos and letters: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/african/afam011.html Above: African-American family photographed arriving in Chicago, c. 1919, from BlackPast.org, an online resource for African-American history developed by Dr. Quintard Taylor of the University of Washington. http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/great-migration-1915-1960 http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/great-migration-1915-1960 Right: Jacob Lawrence's Great Migration, published in 1940, is a collection of Lawrence's paintings inspired by the experiences of African-American families and includes a foreword by the author, as well as the poem "Migration" by Walter Dean Myers.Great Migration

Assessing the appropriation of social media by academic librarians in South Africa and ZimbabweAuthors: Rangarirai Moira Mabweazara and Sandy ZinnSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 1 –12 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1571More Less
Research into the appropriation of social media by academic libraries in countries with growing economies is scarce. There remains an empirical and theoretical gap in the literature about how librarians, particularly those in Southern Africa, are deploying social media in their work routines and in their personal lives. Based on one of the researchers' experiences at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Library and both researchers' use of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) Library, the researchers aimed to examine the way librarians deploy and appropriate social media platforms as part of their service delivery. Using data derived from a questionnaire survey among librarians at UWC in South Africa and NUST in Zimbabwe, this study examined how librarians use social media for professional and personal purposes. The findings suggest that UWC librarians are more proficient social media users than NUST librarians. They further reveal that UWC librarians themselves are managing social media, while at NUST, the Information Technology department is directly responsible for managing the platforms. The study found that UWC Library utilises social media to promote its services more widely, whereas the NUST Library uses social media for reference services.

One of the factors contributing to the strength of a journal is the quality of reviews sourced for the manuscripts submitted to it. In the context of an international trend of a shrinking pool of reviewers, SAJLIS introduced in 2016 yet another innovation to enhance the quality of the journal - that of awarding, annually, honoraria to a selection of reviewers based on the following criteria:
- Number of review requests satisfied for the year;
- Depth and quality of review;
- Contribution to mentoring and development of authors of manuscripts requiring enhancement;
- Timeous response to urgent requests from the journal; and,
- Demonstration of leadership and expertise in a specific area of LIS.
The use of multipurpose community telecentres and their services in Malawi : the case of Lupaso Community TelecentreAuthors: Sellina Khumbo Kapondera and Genevieve HartSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 13 –25 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1589More Less
Telecentres aim to bridge digital divides between rural and urban communities. In many developing countries, like Malawi, the assumption is that once telecentres are established, people will adopt them. The purpose of the study was to examine the factors influencing the use of telecentres in rural areas of developing countries by means of a case study of Lupaso Community Telecentre, in a remote region of Malawi. Following the example of a study of public computing facilities in Cape Town (Chigona & Licker 2008), the study employed Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory as a theoretical frame. Data were gathered through a mix of methodologies: questionnaires, interviews, observation, and records analysis. The study reveals that a large majority of users view the telecentre as an empowering project and are satisfied with its services. They perceive it to be improving human skills, helping the economy and strengthening the social capital of the surrounding community. However, it seems that the telecentre benefits only a small percentage of the community. Access is uneven. One surprising finding is that the centre's Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are not the chief attraction. The factors that negatively impact on the use of the ICTs are lack of internet searching skills, frequent electricity blackouts, lack of local content, and fees charged. To fulfil their mission, it is recommended that telecentres in developing communities enhance their services with information literacy and literacy education programmes.
Evaluating the impact of the public library book collection : a case study of two public libraries in Cape TownAuthors: Janusz Skarzynski and Mary NassimbeniSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 26 –35 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1597More Less
This paper reports the preliminary findings of an investigation into the impact on a sample group of 100 respondents of using the book collection in two public libraries in Cape Town. It is particularly concerned with the benefits of leisure reading as measured through an impact study using a questionnaire based on generic learning outcomes as proposed by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council of the United Kingdom. These outcomes cover the following domains: knowledge and understanding; skills; attitudes or values; enjoyment, inspiration and creativity; activity, behaviour or progression. The findings are presented and discussed and the conclusion is drawn that a range of benefits were experienced and reported in overwhelming numbers by the participants in the study.
Understanding the innovativeness of information technology products and service providers in an IT cluster in NigeriaAuthors: Williams E. Nwagwu and Stanley IbekuSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 36 –52 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1598More Less
Every society has social and other systems that encourage and promote, or otherwise, individuals to engage in creative processes and/or support new ideas and experimentation that may result in new products, services or technological processes. This study examined how the most popular innovation variables provide explanation for the capacity of information technology (IT) products and service providers in the Otigba Computer Hardware Cluster in Lagos, Nigeria to devise and harness new strategies of solving IT problems. The study also investigated the respondents' capacity to acquire, assimilate, transform and use knowledge, and the relationship between these capacities and their innovativeness. Data were collected from 273 respondents with the aid of a questionnaire and an in-depth interview schedule. The study confirms the importance of stronger networking for transfer of knowledge by showing that the respondents' interaction with knowledge sources has strong relationship with their capacity to innovate, acquire, understand and use knowledge. However, innovativeness among the operators in the cluster is not necessarily a function of the traditional innovation variables of absorptive, acquisition, transformation, exploitation and other capacities. The capacity to transform knowledge into applications has a significant effect on the capacity of the operators to introduce new ideas, processes and techniques. Findings from the interviews reveal that the information technology products and service providers are able to devise new ways of solving old and new IT problems, especially as they relate to computer hardware. Research on innovativeness among operators in this cluster must seek explanation from local circumstances in addition to the popular recognised variables.
Change management in an academic library in the knowledge economyAuthors: Tanya Du Plessis and Tiyani Tyson MabundaSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 53 –61 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1596More Less
In the knowledge economy, knowledge is channelled in new ways which brings about changes to the structure and function of an organisation. Organisations such as academic libraries often introduce innovations in delivery of information services to clients which entail the use of information and communication technology. Current growth in technological applications is enabling academic libraries to change the way they deliver services to clients. Technological applications continuously redefine how academic library collections are used. This article investigates how change in terms of technology is managed in a decentralised academic library in a higher education institution of South Africa. The study was placed within a qualitative research paradigm. A case study design presented the research providing the opportunity to analyse the perception and experience of participants and ensured that real life events were investigated. Semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect data. The most significant finding of this study is the emphasis on the importance of change management in academic libraries and the need for effective communication in order to achieve low resistance to change from academic library staff.
Embedded librarianship and Blackboard usage to manage knowledge and support blended learning at a South African university of technologyAuthors: Lynn Kleinveldt, Marietjie Schutte and Christine StilwellSource: South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science 82, pp 62 –74 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.7553/82-1-1592More Less
The purpose of this study was to investigate how Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Libraries can contribute to knowledge management processes using the Learning Management System, Blackboard, by embedding the librarian in the learning environment to support blended learning. Structured interviews were conducted at CPUT with eight lecturers involved in the Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) in Faculty A and with one Faculty A librarian. One of the main findings indicated that lecturers use various teaching methods to support ECP students. Knowledge sharing between lecturers and the librarian mainly takes place during meetings and via email, but not via Blackboard. Training on Blackboard and current awareness of features such as Blackboard Collaborate are needed. Departments within Faculty A considered working together with the faculty librarian to support ECP students essential; they found it beneficial, important and very useful. Departments perceived Blackboard as a communication platform as well as a useful teaching tool. Both positive and negative experiences were shared about the use of Blackboard in the ECP. Although lecturers and the librarian thought that Blackboard improved student learning, both were aware of other means of reaching the students online such as Facebook or Google. Overall, there is a good working relationship between lecturers and the librarian with regard to supporting ECP students. It is therefore important that parties seeking collaboration should create an appropriate platform for interaction. One of the limitations of the study is that it excludes the student experience of using the online learning environment at CPUT. The study could inform CPUT Libraries and the university community regarding improving knowledge management practices.

We strive to help the environment by contributing to the renewables market and reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
Contributing to the renewables and sustainable infrastructure markets
The demand for energy is increasingly being met by renewables such as solar, wind, biomass and tidal energy. New major infrastructure and building projects increasingly need to take environmental issues into account. Reduction of fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions is therefore increasingly significant in determining the nature of the projects carried out around the world. With our technology, expertise and knowledge, the demand for sustainable energy and sustainable infrastructure and construction creates a range of new opportunities in new markets.
Reducing the environmental impact of our operations
We aim to promote energy saving in our activities and are constantly increasing our use of sustainable materials. We work as a service provider and do not own or operate any production facilities. The largest environmental impact of our operations relate to fuel consumption by our fleet of vessels and vehicles and use of materials at our office locations. As a consequence, these are the areas that we focus on.
Our goal is to attain a certified environmental management system (ISO 14001 or equivalent) for all our key operating companies (those operating companies with a relatively high risk profile). By the end of 2014, 81% of our key operating companies were certified or were close to certification.

This week's Free Ride* takes us into the lyrics of a song that came out posthumously in 1971 from arguably the best rock and roll guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix, who would have turned 68 today. The song, Freedom, carries a lot of irony, and not just because it came out soon after Hendrix died from a drug overdose in his quest to free himself via chemical means. It is also ironic in its connection to Hendrix's main guitar influence, Curtis Mayfield.
Many times Hendrix cited Mayfield as his favorite guitarist, and the r & b legend's influence certainly shows up in the Hendrix ballads. Here in the blues song Freedom, we see a lyrical influence as well, in the closing lines of the song. As the last chorus concludes with Hendrix calling for freedom to live, freedom so I can give, he has his background singers channel some Mayfield lyrics,
keep on pushing straight ahead,
keep on pushing straight ahead
Mayfield's song, Keep on Pushin', recorded when he was frontman for the Impressions in 1964, was a motivational challenge dedicated to the work of the Civil Rights movement. The irony lies in the use of the word push that would come around a few years later, when the angst of the black community turned from Bull Connor's dogs to drug addiction woes in the inner cities. Mayfield would use the word in one of his more famous songs, Freddie's Dead, from the Superfly movie, speaking of the tragic figure who was pushin' dope for the man. Not the kind of push you want to encourage people to keep on doing.
In between the two Mayfield songs Keep on Pushing and Freddie's Dead, that is, between Civil Rights and Superfly, Jimi Hendrix recorded Freedom, and then left the world before the song could be released. Like too many who have longed for some sense of transcendence from the shackles of this life, he searched for it in the wrong places, in LSD and amphetamines. Instead of freedom, they gave him another shackle to deal with, addiction.
As our society continues to push for that elusive sense of freedom in all its manifestations – political, civil, economic, emotional, spiritual – we would do well to both keep on pushin' and to keep an eye out for the pushers who inhabit our street corners. The dope they're selling may not always be in the form of drugs – our addictive nature has found many monkeys to climb on our back. We now have political junkies, news junkies, mall junkies, junk food junkies, sexting junkies, you name it, the pushers can find a way to sell us on their ability to free us from our troubles. When we see them coming, we can sing along with Jimi,
better stick your dagger in someone else, so I can leave,
set me free! . . .
Freedom, so I can live
Freedom so I can give
*Free Ride is a Saturday blog that takes a different song each week and muses on the lyrics of freedom. If you have a favorite "freedom" song (it could be any song that has the word free or freedom in it), feel free to suggest it in the comment box below. As always, your feedback and comments are welcome.
I confess to wondering how a post about Jimi Hendrix could glorify God. You did it beautifully.

As far as literacy is concerned, India has come a long way
AS FAR as literacy is concerned, India has come a long way. Only 18 per cent of the population was literate according to the 1951 census. The figure now stands at more than 65 per cent. While this is no small achievement, the fact remains that more than a third of India's population is illiterate. School dropout rates are also high.
The Government is doing its bit to improve the situation through schemes such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Education for All), which aims to make education free and compulsory for children aged six to 14. Education officials have even offered

Surprising to many college students,chemistry has an impact on society much greater than a college degree. It is a ubiquitous part of our economy,providing jobs ranging from education to research and medicine to industry.The choices a graduate in chemistry has are far reaching, maybe even daunting,at least for those that haven't decided what their future holds. Maybe the experience can help add some perspective on how chemistry affects our economy and what trends are likely to drive change and opportunity over the next 10-20 years.

When browsing different types of coffees, their flavours' description can feel exaggerated, embellished or confusing. However, if you understand how to describe the taste of coffee, you can better interpret these words. Additionally, understanding how to describe coffee enables you to leave accurate reviews and give others a sense of what the brew tastes like. Describing the taste of coffee requires only a full mug and a moment's time to take a sip.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
- 1
Describe the acidity of a coffee. Contrary to popular belief, acidity is not an undesirable trait in coffee. You can detect a coffee's acidity by its aftertaste. If a coffee has higher acidity, its aftertaste is crisp, sharp and pleasant. If the coffee has low acidity, it will have a dull aftertaste. Because acidity is commonly misunderstood, describe it with words like bright and lively.
- 2
Describe the coffee's aroma. Your nose is capable of detecting things that your taste buds cannot. For example, you can smell fruity, floral and citrus undertones in coffee that you might otherwise miss. Inhale the coffee's scent before taking a sip to best detect these accents.
- 3
Describe the coffee's overall flavour. The flavour is your perception of tastes while the coffee is in your mouth. For example, a coffee might taste mildly of chocolate or caramel. The flavour of the coffee is separate from its aroma, pay attention to what your taste buds can detect.
- 4
Put your description together. Begin with the acidity, followed by the aroma and close with the coffee's flavour. For example, you might describe coffee as follows: "The coffee has a crisp, bright flavour, with subtle hints of citrus and rich chocolates."
Tips and warnings
- There is no one way to describe a cup of coffee; each person who tastes the same brew will likely describe it differently. Pay close attention to how your personal senses detect the coffee when describing it.

It feels like the song 'Tainted Love' can be used almost anywhere, including terrifically exciting and off-putting scenes like the one I watched this week. While picking up exactly where 'Glanders' left off, 'Pastor Tim' is a good reminder that The Americans functions like a chess match. The series smartly handles its setup, but every now and then it makes a striking move, often underscored by a lovely pop song.
This week's flashiest event comes in the form of an exchange going haywire, as Philip cannot keep his disguised comrade under control. Luckily this happens on an empty bus, where the only other passengers are either asleep or listening to Soft Cell on their Sony Walkman. Unfortunately, it means Philip has to kill another innocent man to cover another person's screw up.
Some of the joy in this series has always revolved around us rooting for the Jennings, even though we know their loyalties will not pay off in the long run, based on history. Unless this show eventually decides to go for some sort of Tarantino-esque form of rewriting history, we are always aware the greater good for the Jennings only matters so much. Watching scenes like the one in 'Pastor Tim' playout don't often have me thinking one of the Jennings will be outed as a Soviet spy, but rooting the show in this sort of tension, with an undercurrent of disbelief in the mission, is an interesting perspective to have.
Of course, this occurs near the middle of the episode and plenty of other things surround Philip's pop-infused misadventures on the bus. Last week Philip actually had the most to work with, as far as having us caught up with his emotional state. Every one of his kills continues to tell us something about how his emotions play into his work, but this week also gives us more Elizabeth and her matter-of-fact attitude concerning certain objectives.
Even before Paige confesses about Pastor Tim, we are already aware Philip and Elizabeth know. The situation easily turns into whether or not they will have to kill the man who Paige trusts more than anyone and now also knows the biggest Jennings secret of them all. Greater good plays a role here again, as Elizabeth knows the easy answer to all of this, even if it means destroying their daughter's emotional state and possible trust of her parents for good.
We will see how this plays out soon, but we also go one step further with Elizabeth. Gabriel informs Elizabeth that her mother died. Keri Russell's performance has never been less than authentic on this show and it is a credit to her skill to see how subtle the reactions she has to this news are. The same goes for when she learns that Philip has been going to EST. It takes a lot of effort to balance having an emotional reaction and holding onto a cold understanding of news, but that is what separates the two leads.
I like mentioning how well this series works thanks to its dedication to making the marriage and family life its most important element. Putting the talk of greater good aside, it is seeing Philip talk to Elizabeth about EST that makes for an exciting moment as well. It could have blown up into an argument or it could have gone the way we actually saw. This matters little as far as results, but seeing this show create tension from these types of character interactions means a lot for a show so dedicated to maintaining a grounded tone held against a very flashy premise.
Elsewhere we get to deal with Nina. This show is practically teasing us with the thought that she will be coming back to America sometime soon. First we have Stan hearing some news about the situation, only to learn a different Soviet will be in play. Then we recall Nina's move from last week, where she manages to have her estranged husband brought in for a visit. It is an attempt to catch up and pass along a note to Anton's son. This attempt is halted and Nina's chances of being free dwindle back down.
It continues to feel like a bold move for The Americans to not only have a plotline surrounding the KGB's presence in America, outside the Jennings, but also a whole storyline set in the Soviet Union. Where this is headed, I'm not sure, but given the deliberate pacing of this series, I am enjoying these brief updates as a way to know something big must be brewing.
By the end of this episode, Paige has made her confession, the Jennings still possess a deadly bio-weapon and Pastor Tim holds key knowledge. The pieces are in play for some big moves to happen next and for all the confidence the Jennings generally have, it is interesting to hear them announce they are in trouble. This is largely due to how close to home the trouble really is. Fortunately there has rarely been a time when these two couldn't get themselves out of a bind.

That comment is out of line.
She had nudes LOL. What is it with celebrities and leaked nudes!!
Yeah Jack it does!:hmlol: You could have helped out Australian manufacturing and purchased a Chevy SS.
Well Divia, I agree 100%. The movie would have made more money with two males and two female leads.
You're entitled to your opinion. I happen to agree with you to a point in that I will not be wasting my time or money to see Ghostbusters at the movies. I will wait untill it's on cable and watch it...
Sad news RIP.
Can't people in movieland come up with an original idea anymore?
Would figure it's a pretty safe car to be in an accident. Glad your son is ok.
I didn't think there was any evidence to support that.
Shredder - check Milo out he is a good guy.
Interesting article.
I was very surprised that Twitter suspended Milo Yiannopoulos account because of his review on Ghostbusters. I read his review and to think that Twitter would suspend his...
Good point, popular doesn't necessarily mean it's good. A movie that bombs at the box office doesn't mean its crap either. I think Avatar was a very average and predictable film yet it's the biggest...
Agreed 100%.
For starters the main character in The Force Awakens was female (who was brilliant IMO) and it would appear the same for Rogue One so I don't know what you're going on about.
The main characters...
Don't understand why it's an all female cast for the main characters.
Do you know what state he lives in?
Always good to have another Aussie on the boards.
I really enjoyed his films with Terence Hill.
Very sad RIP.
Noob.... ha ha, I havn't heard that word in a while!
Welcome to the boards and nice avatar by the way!
I've entered the competition....would love to win!!
The Skeletor statue looks fantastic.
Chances of winning = zero. Looks like I'll have to pony up the cash to buy one.
Very sad news indeed. Shandling was one of the greatest....will be missed RIP.
Welcome to the boards.
Great to have another Aussie on here!
The Slap was a controversial movie produced in Australia a few years back.
This is a **** take from an Australian Comedy show….not sure which one.
Welcome back Sea Hawk.
Stick around mate.
You have one of the most infamous threads ever........asking that girl out on a date!!
Ja welcome to the boards!
A real tragedy and hopefully that scum bag Chapman spends the rest of his life in prison!
I'll say one thing about the French police.... they don't muck around.
A great tragedy on what has happened in Paris.
I think they look pretty cool.

Summer is (not-quite-officially) here, and no matter what you said or did about those New Year's resolutions, it's time to hit the beach. You might've already even hit it, and you might've noticed that gone are the strange flower prints and bland solids on swim trunks of yesteryear — you ain't nothing on the sand in 2010 without a little pop.

Just after we heard Amazon stopped selling someone's novels because they contained the allegedly trademarked phrase "space marine," the online book retailer has also pulled a memoir whose title mentions Star Wars. Talking to Boing Boing, author Gib Van Ert explains: Advertisement Advertisement Amazon has decided to remove the book I self-published on Kindle, "A Long Time Ago: Growing up with and out of Star Wars", from their store for an unspecified trademark issue. Their emails are vague, but they seems to being saying that I have to have Lucasfilm's permission before selling on their store a book that talks about Star Wars. It's a crazy position—Star Wars is a massive pop cultural and generational phenomenon, as my book tries to explain through a personal narrative.And yes, this is why Amazon encouraging independent and self-published authors to rely on the site as their main outlet is potentially problematic.

ProbLog is a probabilistic logic programming language based on Prolog. Two ProbLog implementations are available, based on a different methodology and offering a different functionality. ProbLog1, or briefly ProbLog, focusses on computing the success probability of a given query, either exactly or using various approximate methods. ProbLog1 also supports parameter learning, in both the learning from entailment and learning from interpretations setting. ProbLog1 also supports decision-theoretic inference. ProbLog2 allows the user to compute marginal probabilities of any number of ground atoms in the presence of evidence (in comparison, the succes probability setting of ProbLog1 corresponds to having a single query and no evidence). ProbLog2 also supports parameter learning in the learning from interpretations setting.

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 44 reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa di Nottola! The bathroom was large and the view from the room of the vineyards was spectacular! The breakfast in the morning was very good. We also reserved a wine tasting tour and dinner at the restaurant on site, and it did not disappoint! There was no wifi, but we have Italian phones so that was fine for us-- and it was relaxing to put down the phone and enjoy the Tuscan countryside. It was about a 10 minute drive from Montepulciano. Staff was very friendly, accommodating, helpful giving tips in the area, and spoke English very well! I would stay here again!
We had a very enjoyable stay . The property is a working vineyard which produces a good range of wines .It is about a fifteen minute drive outside of Montepulciano proper. We had a wonderful apartment decorated in classic Tuscan style . The buffer breakfast was excellent . One note it starts at 8:30 a.m which is a little late for an early start for a day of sightseeing. The owners Angelo and his wife are hands on with the the front desk. Breakfast area and winery . Angelo was very helpful with local knowledge. The restaurant on the property which is separately owned has a good local menu with fair prices and is comvenient if you don't want to drive at night . The owner was also very helpful with suggestions for the local area. villa de Nottola was definitely worth the stay.
A magical 17th century villa with working winery & restaurant for those who don't want to drive after drinking lots of good local wines. Gym was not anything useable but pool was nice and can run thru vineyards. Great breakfast and close to town.
Great hotel near Montepulciano. This is a winery, a hotel and a restaurant. The room was very spacious and comfortable with a nice view of the vineyard. Staff was friendly and helpful with carrying luggage up the stairs (no elevator). There is onsite parking. The owner gave us a quick wine tasting in the evening which was very nice. The restaurant is very good (as a hotel guest you get 15% off) and we even received a small bottle of Vin Santo with cantucci after the meal. There is an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by olive trees! Breakfast was very good - large selection of good quality food items (bread, cheese, cold cuts, pastries, fruit, jam, honey, eggs, juices etc.). Highly recommended!
Too short!

My great grandmother passed when i was 13 and i had a beat i liked and it fit how i was feeling so i wrote to it, of course the song was about my gammy i was going to perform at her funeral but i was too nervous. Needless to say my family heard it, ever since then ive been writing and making music doing school shows battling open mic etc. One day a close friend of mine listened to a couple songs I've completed and she said she has heard artists songs before and wasnt impressed but when she heard mine it was different she told me it was really good and she would tell me if i was bad or not lol so with that being said she is my inspiration and I'm going to give this a shot ive been skeptical for a long time but you only live once i have a gift and i want you to hear it. i really hope you enjoy thank you!!
