Africa has been and will be the poster child of global biodiversity for ages. One-fourth of Africa's biodiversity is in Ethiopia, and is comprised of 320 mammals, 860 birds, 240 reptiles, 71 amphibians, 150 freshwater fish, and over 1,225 arthropods and 6,600 plant species with a high rate of endemism. The endemic wildlife include the Ethiopian wolf and Swayne's hartebeest, Prince Rasploi's turaco and Stresemann's bush crow, Bale mountains heather chameleon and the Ethiopian mountains adder, and the Ethiopian banana frog and Bale mountains moss frog. There are diverse habitats ranging from 110 meters below sea level at Kobar Sink in the Afar depression, to a peak of 4620 meters above sea level at Ras Dejen in the Siemen Mountains. The high relevance of wildlife management in Ethiopian universities is therefore a given.
Wildlife management can be defined as art and science of managing wildlife populations and their habitats with the participation of stakeholders. Much as wildlife science is an integral part of Ethiopia's 33 universities and some 100 other colleges, it was only 4 years ago the country's first Master's program in wildlife management was offered at the Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources. A second program is nearing launch in March 2014 at Arba Minch University, also in southern Ethiopia. The prerogative of managing wildlife and wild lands in the second-most populous country in the continent is vested with over 80 ethnic groups with some 200 spoken dialects, diverse cultural values and social mores with the GDP per capita estimated to be $1200 in 2012. Seemingly, food security, water, health and infrastructure take precedence over biodiversity. These challenges are compounded by climate change impacts; resource degradation and subsistence hunting make wildlife management a daunting task.
The Protected Areas of Ethiopia are closely hemmed-in and utilized by the agrarian and pastoralist communities. There are 20 National Parks, 3 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 2 Wildlife Reserves, 19 Controlled Hunting Areas, and 10 Open Hunting Areas till date. Yet, only 2 National Parks–the Simien and Gambella are gazette notified. The potential for biodiversity stewardship via Payments for Ecosystem Services Schemes (PES) is yet to be realized and this could be the future of conservation. The risks of emerging diseases are stark and there is urgent need for research at the interface of wildlife, people and ecosystems, or 'one health'. Wildlife management empowers its practitioners with tools to try and tackle such critical issues. Although human dimensions can overwhelm science at the roof of Africa, a formidable combination of skilled biologists and committed wildlife managers can move the mountains beyond mountains.

MmLockPagableDataSection routine
The MmLockPagableDataSection routine locks an entire section of driver data into system space.
- AddressWithinSection [in]
Specifies the symbolic address of one item of data within the pageable section.
Return value
MmLockPagableDataSection returns an opaque value that identifies the section. This value must be passed subsequently to MmLockPagableSectionByHandle or to MmUnlockPagableImageSection.
Drivers can use this routine, MmLockPagableSectionByHandle, and MmUnlockPagableImageSection to make their private data that is typically pageable locked into memory.
Data can be locked down if:
The data is typically accessed at <= APC_LEVEL, but it might need to be accessed at higher IRQL levels for short periods.
The driver uses the data infrequently and predictably.
For example, drivers for mixer devices use pageable-data sections. Because the driver uses sufficient data to make creating a pageable-data section worthwhile and the driver knows when the data is needed, such a driver uses MmLockPagableDataSection, MmLockPagableSectionByHandle and MmUnlockPagableImageSection to bring a data section into system space when needed and make it available to be paged out when not needed.
A single call to MmLockPagableDataSection causes the entire section, containing the referenced data, to be locked into system space.
It is an expensive operation to lock down a section. If a pageable-data section is locked down in more than one place by a driver, use MmLockPagableDataSection for the first request. Make subsequent lock requests by calling MmLockPagableSectionByHandle, passing the handle returned by MmLockPagableDataSection. Locking by handle significantly improves driver performance. A locked down section is unlocked by calling MmUnlockPagableImageSection.
The memory manager maintains a reference count on the section. A pageable-data section is only available to be paged out when the reference count is zero. Every lock request increments the count; every unlock request decrements the count. A driver must unlock a section as many times as it locks a section to ensure that such a section will be available to be paged out when the section is not needed. A handle is always valid, no matter what the count. If the count on a handle is zero and a call is made to MmLockPagableSectionByHandle, the count is set to one, and if the section has been paged out, it will be paged in.
Data in a pageable-data section is marked by a compiler directive. To create a pageable data section, use #pragma data_seg ("PAGE"), at the beginning of the data module, and #pragma data_seg () at the end of the module. The keyword PAGE is case-sensitive, that is, PAGE must be capitalized.
Note that there is also a #pragma data_seg("INIT") that is used to make data discardable after system initialization. Except for the use of INIT rather than PAGE, the syntax is the same. However the result is not; use of the PAGE directive makes the data section pageable. When the INIT directive is used, the data in the section is discarded as soon as the driver returns from its driver entry routine or its reinitialization routine if the driver has one.
For more information about paging data, see Making Drivers Pageable.

You probably won't find a better spot to chill than this one.
These people hang their hammock on a line of eighty meters long. With nine or ten people they chill at the height of 200 meters above the abyss and they enjoy the fabulous views over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Ticket To The Moon and Igor Scotland have devised the system. Especially for this project they came up with hammocks of 5 meters. That hammock is attached to the line, but the people hanging on the steel are also secured. So if the hammock would fail, they do not fall to pieces anyway.

A different kind of lover:Well I have been reading different stories on this site and thought I would summit my own experience that I had with my son. I was 39 at the time and my son was 18, I was and still am married to this day and my husband knows nothing of what went on for a couple of years in our home.
Well I have been reading different stories on this site and thought I would summit my own experience that I had with my son. I was 39 at the time and my son was 18, I was and still am married to this day and my husband knows nothing of what went on for a couple of years in our home. At the time my husband worked nights and needless to say I was not getting any sex because hubby was to tired on the nights he had off. So I spent allot of nights playing with myself and fantasizing, if your wondering what I was fantasizing about my husband had a good friend named Jack that I wanted to ride on for some time.
So anyways, I was on our computer that we kept in the computer room one night and I was working on some paper work for my job and didn't like the way it was coming out, I deleted it and started a new one and further into the night I needed some information from the paper that was deleted, so I went to the deleted box to retrieve it. I saw another file in the box and decided to open it up and see what it was, I sat in the chair and read this long story about my son making love to his mother. I could not believe what I was reading.
I was so upset I could not get a grip on it, why was my son writing sex stories about me, how could he look at me in that way, and why was he looking at me in that way. This story he wrote was so detailed with every little position and everything he was doing to me, and what I was doing to him. I decided to save the file under a different name so I could talk to him about it and went to bed. I laid in bed for hours trying to understand what he was thinking, he was young and had girl friends, I was sure he was having sex with them, why would he want me. I decided not to mention this to his father and just have a conversation with him when the right moment came along. A few nights went by and every time I was going to bring it up I decided to wait. One night around 1:00am I got up from bed to go to the bathroom and I saw the light under the door in the computer room, I went over and opened it slowly and my son was writing another story, this time I said to him, wait, we need to talk Brad, he closed the window fast but I new what he was writing, I sat down and said to him why are you having these feelings about me, he said mom I have no idea what your talking about. I smiled at him and said, Brad, I read a story you wrote about you and me, he put his head down and said, I am sorry mom, I have always had this fantasy about you and me and I don't know how to control it.
I looked at him and said, Brad what made you feel like this, and he said I saw you naked a few years ago and ever since then I have dream about you in that way, I can't help it. I said, Brad you need to stop because it is wrong and very sick to think that way. Brad look at me and said, mom that's what makes it so good, the fact that it is very wrong and very dirty and it's taboo, that is what turns me on the most. I looked at him and said you need to stop thinking that way and that's it. I went to bed and hoped he would become more normal and stop thinking about it.
A month or two went by and I was keeping track of what he was looking at on line and just as I expected he was looking a porn movies that showed mothers and sons, I put my hands up and said, the hell with it, let him think what he wants.
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason and a few nights later I was walking by my son's room and the door was open a little bit and my eyes saw him getting dress sideways, but what really got me looking was his dick, It was big, bigger then his fathers, I started moving passed his room praying he did not see or hear me, I was trying to figure out how he had such a big dick, I went to bed and felt a little horny so I started playing with myself thinking about my husbands friend Jack, I was getting wet and turned on, riding Jack and sucking on him, I was really getting into it. The next night I was doing it again and
I was going for my first orgasm and just as I started Cumming, Brad's big cock came into my head but I couldn't stop. After that I sat there and was thinking about it, and said to myself, what's the big deal, I'm a woman and he's a man, I was just thinking about how big he was. The thought was turning me on and I decided to just try it once, what was the harm, no one would know what I was thinking, I put my hand on my wetness and started rubbing my pussy nice and slow, I pictured my sons big cock rubbing over my face and into my mouth, I picture he slipping it into my pussy nice and slow, it was driving me crazy. With in a minute I was having multiple orgasms and Cumming harder then I have every cam.
Well I found myself feeling ashamed when I was around Brad, but at night I would play more and more fantasy's out and have more and more orgasms. I would check to see what he was looking at on line and he was still on the same sites, I opened the file of the first story I read and read it over and over again and then went and rub my clit, I new things where different now, and I new what I wanted. I just wondered if my son would really do it or was it just a fantasy of his,
I decided to wait till my husband went to work and I wrote a little letter and left it on Brad's bed, he was in the shower at the time and I figured he would read it and we would see what happened. The letter said, I want to make your fantasy come true, come to my bedroom if you're interested. I decided to do everything in his story, step by step. I heard the shower stop and waited a few minutes, I was in a small t-shirt and see through blue panties just like in his fantasy, My bedroom had a mirror on the wall and sealing and I just looked at myself and thought, my son is going to fuck me tonight, that thought got me so horny and wet. I was waiting and about ten minutes went by and I thought to myself maybe he wasn't serious. Just then I heard him coming down the hallway and the anticipation was killing me, I squeezed my legs together in excitement. He knocked on my door and I said to come in, Brad walked in with nothing on, his cock was long, thick and hard. I just looked at him and smiled, he said, you want to be pleasured and I said yes Hun, he walked over to the bed and I sat up and put my hand on his big cock, I went very slow and started to jerk him off and he said, please don't stop.
I moved his dick closer to my mouth and started licking it up and down, This was the most turned on I have ever been in my life, I started sucking on it and he was loving it. He was so big and hard I could not wait to feel this inside of me, I sucked him off and eat every bit of his warm cum, I turned around and bent over and he got down behind me and I felt his hands at the top of my panties, he slowly pulled them down and said, mom you are so wet, I felt him lick my asshole and it was driving me crazy, he moved from my ass to my pussy and licked me till I cam in his mouth, as I was Cumming he stood up and rubbed his hard cock on my pussy, I could not take it, I started crying out, fuck me fuck me, he pushed in and drove his cock hard into me, I grabbed the pillow and squeezed it for dear life, I cried out to him, Brad fuck me hard baby, no one has every fucked me so good. We did every position in the book and he made me cum many times before the night was over, afterwards I felt a little guilty, but it went away every time he walked into the bedroom with his big cock ready to make me cum, we played for a couple of years till he moved out but every once in a while when dad's not home he stops by for his blow job and to make me happy with his big cock. For you moms that are on the edge and thinking about it, go for it, it's the best sex you will ever have.

Passionate Light
This painting has bright and vibrant colors and coordinates perfectly with my living room. I love the way the metal sort of adds another dimension to the piece. However, it is quite a challenge to hang if you are inexperienced and/or do not have the right tools because the four panels have to line up perfectly. My only complaint about this piece is that the painted portion of the last panel on the right, even when the panels line up perfectly, does not flow. Look closely at the image and decide if you could live with the flaw before purchasing so that you are not disappointed.

Library History
Charlevoix opened its first reading room in 1886, then opened a Carnegie Library in 1909. The Carnegie was sold and a replacement was built and opened in 1967. In 2004 voters passed a debt millage to renovate the historic 1927 school building and turn it into a modern, fully technologically current, new library. For more information about the renovation process, check out the scrapbook from the library: "Dream, Vision, Reality: Building the Charlevoix Library, 2004-2006," 977.486 DREA
The signature piece in the Library's Art Collection is painted on the curved wall in the entry. Artist Charles Thompson designed the mural to reflect the era of the late 1920's in Charlevoix, Michigan, the time of the original construction of the building.

The best Birthday gift EVER!
My cell phone rings yesterday. It's a number I don't recognize.
Hi, this is Jeff, how can I…
A robotic voice cuts me off: "Hello, this is so-and-so with Kaiser Permanente calling for… (in a now even more robotic voice) Jeff-rey Bern-he-isel. (switches back to regular robotic voice) Birthday's are the perfect time to celebrate the good things in life. They're also a great time to take stock of your health, and we'd like to help by keeping you up to date with your preventative care."
That's great, Doc… except my Birthday was over 2 weeks ago!
Here's one of the many similar messages I received through Facebook ON my Birthday, from a "friend":
"Hey Jeff, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! If you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell a home, I'd love to help!"
Uhhh, thanks… I guess?
Just Stop!
Is this the kind of "marketing" you do at your clients, family and friends? If so, do us all a favor and PLEASE STOP. I know your heart is usually in the right place… but it's obnoxious.
No matter what some guru at a conference says… this style of marketing isn't cool. I don't care if it's a social media post, an email, text message or a carrier pigeon (though that would earn bonus points for effort). It doesn't give anyone the warm fuzzies that you're hoping it will. If anything, it actually has the opposite effect on people. As if I didn't dislike going to the doctors office enough already!
Here's a good example of what DID give me the warm fuzzies though:
What makes this example so special?
Well, it's obvious (at least to ME) that there was some thought put into this post. My friends and I have an inside joke about wolves, and I like to enjoy a good steak and whiskey… sometimes in the confines of my hot tub (hey, this is a judgement free zone!). Then, as if that wasn't good enough, he adds to "wash it all down with a few Cokes" which if you know me, you know that this post hits the nail on the head in just about every possible way. Well, done JT. Well done.
I received several other messages, emails, text messages similar to this from various friends from across the country. Each one customized and referencing something about my personal life, our friendship, moments from Birthdays past, etc.
So, whether you're trying to take advantage of someone's Birthday as a day to market to your clients, family and friends, or even things like sending an email or connecting with people on LinkedIN with the hopes of staying "top-of-mind" the next time they need a Realtor… Take the extra couple minutes and put in a little effort to customize the message. Create a little personalized video, use an app like SpeakingPhoto to add a voiceover to an image that you can text (see below for my latest masterpiece creation – you're welcome Loren!), or just pick up the phone and call the person!
Now, it may not be the best Birthday gift ever, but it's THAT kind of thoughtful customization that will make all the difference in the world to that person, and to the results you'll likely see from referrals or repeat purchases or whatever your end goal may be.

TeachEzy is a web-based start-up business venture that came about by circumstance. My son is severely intellectually disabled and this is my way of creating a business that can be planned around his day, his appointments and unique needs. He is the hardest part of my life as well as the best parts - beautiful and demanding. I am supported by some wonderful friends and disability respite workers who I couldn't do without.
TeachEzy's goal is to free up your valuable time...We want to ease your workload and provide useful resources for the classroom. We know how important work/life balance is as we work on our own every single day and we understand with teaching how much work is done after hours at home. We want to reduce the after hours so you can spend more time with family and friends, which in turn will make you a better teacher. We all want a happy teacher for our children.
I (Veronica) am a casual and temporary teacher, working around Northern NSW although I will be taking a break from teaching very soon to focus on TeachEzy. Over the years I have had some great people working with me. My wonderful friend Jenny also has a disabled son and we have have been sharing our disability journey for 18 years now. She was the first person I turned to when I needed more help. Jenny is an artist and has worked in early childhood. We have both spent many years attending Early Intervention and have a unique understanding of life in the "hectic lane". We have had many years learning from other professionals including occupational therapists and physiotherapists, who have worked with our own sons. Unfortunately, Jenny has had to stop working with TeachEzy due to the increased demands she has had to face as a carer, but is still considered an important part of our team and a dear friend. For the last year, Nikki has handled our social media platform. Nikki is young and like the young crowd, has lived with social media most of her life. She has also been bringing you the craft over the last year. Nikki has left TeachEzy for now to study nursing but may pop in and out when needed and to help with her education costs. Bob is my ever patient IT support...I have never met Bob as we work via email and phone...he lives about 1000 kms away. He has been a lifesaver on more than 100 occasions. Running a website is huge job and his knowledge and work ethic has been outstanding. If you need website building I highly recommend him - you will find a link to Prowebalchemy on the front of the website.
We provide resources for teachers from K-6 including step-by-step day plans suited to casual teachers.
We are still early providers in this area; we are learning so much every day and we hope to grow and grow. Your constructive (and supportive) feedback is always appreciated if you would like to drop us an email. We are working hard to make this a successful website and will be adding resources weekly at no extra cost...suggestions are always welcome.
Our resources since 2014 mostly include our own clip art so you won't see the same images everywhere. It is part of our work that we truly love - the creative side...examples of these can be found in 3 of our alphabets - Transport, Pirates and Princesses and Australian Animals. Our clip art library grows on a daily basis so our resources are uniquely stamped with our own artwork.
I get up each morning excited to create more resources. I love going to work and the variety it brings. Your support for our work is very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Let's continue on our almost official phones thread, recently we posted the superhero Astro Boy phone, but now it's the turn of Land Rover to have its phone. Chinese counterfeiters are full of inspiration. According to them, the phone Land Rover would be 90% similar to the car Land Rover Defender. I think they forgot the comma between the 9 and the 0, I let you judge by yourself.
On the windshield of the phone there are two small LEDs. These are actually two LED lamp, it is activated via the button at the center of the windshield. ?The entire portion lying from the front seat to the trunk of the phone actually contains a huge battery of 3 cm thick. It shows 10,000 mAh, enough to use it several weeks. Do not rejoice too quickly because you'll learn very quickly in China that a product label is often used for decoration.
The front of the phone looks like a traditional phone. You will become the proud owner of this awesome phone Land Rover for about 50euros.
Unlike a SUV I don't think that you can bring it everywhere… On this one, I hope that the CEO of Land Rover is not aware, it will avoid him to have an heart attack.

A/N: The conclusion...or is it? Reviews are welcome! Disclaimer: Psych (c) USA, Portal (c) Valve
Part III-Eat Your Cake
Buzz McNabb wasn't so much superstitious but he was wary of not angering the spirit world. His new found curiosity came right around the time Shawn came in as 'psychic consultant'. But as he filed away the Robinson case, he could've sworn he heard someone sing a nonsensical song…
"This was a triumph! I'm making a note here, huge success! It's hard to overstate my satisfaction…" "Hello? Is anyone there?" he asked the supposedly empty room. Shawn withheld a snicker as he tossed a small grey cube to McNabb then recited in the most mechanical yet scary voice he could muster, "The Companion Cube will not try to kill you for in fact, it cannot speak…" The young cop picked up the object and yelled, "What do you want?!"
Shawn continued his haunt with "But you may not leave this area with the Companion Cube so you may have to kill it. Do not worry for the Companion Cube will not feel your betrayal and will in fact forgive you." Buzz quickly reacted and dropped the cube to the floor. "What would you like me to do? I don't know how to kill a Companion Cube or whatever it is!" "You must incinerate it at your local incinerator…" The patrol officer dashed to light the cardboard cube on fire and the fake psychic then decided to conclude this prank by stating, "You are a horrible person. You killed your best friend, the Companion Cube. You do not deserve to be alive. We could've been friends. I will have to kill you now…"
Terrified at the whole "getting killed by a vengeful ghost over a stupid cardboard cube", Buzz ran out of the Case file room, zooming past by a surprised Juliet. "Don't go in there! There's an insane ghost with a cube and ARGH!" McNabb yelled as he ran off for dear life, leaving Jules more than confused and Shawn bent over in laughter. The junior detective recognized the younger Spencer's laugh and stormed into a very much empty room.
The second haunting was a bit more complicated to realize, since it involved breaking into a locker. "Easy solution, find my dad's old locker." Shawn thought out loud while applying the necessary fake blood and other bodily fluids. His goal was to appear as a severed head, using an appropriately-sized portal to set it off just right. Lo and behold, the locker, along with the combination, still remained in the police department. "2-34-12." Shawn recited as the unmistakable click of a successful lock crack rang.
The owner of the locker was none other than Interim Chief Karen Vick, causing Shawn to seriously consider this prank. Damn! If I get caught, that's it for Psych! Then again, how could she possible figure it out? Shawn decided to go through with it for funsies; he quickly shot the orange portal at just the right time and acted the deadest he had ever done in his life.
With the bank robberies now a close case, Karen was looking forward to relaxing for a bit before picking up her daughter from babysitting. What she didn't expect was the head of Santa Barbara's psychic consultant stuffed inside her locker. She reacted with a quick shriek and slamming the locker door shut. "How is that possible?!" she tried to reason only to be interrupted by someone clearing their throat inside the compartment. "Umm, that one's easy."
Karen then breathed relieved that it had been a practical joke and was about to sold Spencer…until she realized that her locker, along with the others in its row, lay against a solid brick wall. The Chief of Police slowly opened her locker door and, much to her surprise, found it empty. As a result, she rubbed her temples and said to herself, "I need some sleep…"
The final haunting was guaranteed to be a riot (in more ways than one). Dressing up as some murder victim, Shawn thought to himself, "This better be worth it…of course it's going to be." He hid the Portal gun just enough that no one could see it but he could still fire it. The fake psychic then played up the best ghost face and walk as he shot first pair of portals…
Andrew "Butcher" King was sitting in his jail cell, along with other petty and dangerous criminals, when he heard a bell ring thirteen times. A ghastly vision of a man brutally murdered slowly made its way to the entrance of the holding cells. The lights faltered as this man crawled on the floor all the while moaning and lamenting its death rattle 'You killed me….'
Not a single man could keep his brave face as they watched the 'dead man' slither through the floor and, to their eternal fright, disappeared into the walls. All five grown men present started screaming their heads off by the time Det. Lassiter showed up. "What the hell is going on?!" he yelled to establish order. "Some freaky shit just crawled in here!" Andrew bellowed before unknowingly confessing, "It's Manny! I killed him!"
"Well, look at that! I helped out after all!" Shawn smirked as he removed his costume, threw it in the nearest dumpster and walked to a McDonalds close by. He looked at the Portal gun and decided not to turn it in just yet (he'd turn it in the next century, if he lived that long). He had one more thing to do…
After calming the riot and processing Andrew King for the murder of Manny Turner, Lassiter was exhausted. He dismissed McNabb and the Chief's accounts of a haunting as lack of sleep but he couldn't right away explain what happened to him at his desk. "Somehow, Spencer managed to weasel his way under my desk and found a way out…" he told himself as he arrived at his home.
The lights were off and there was no evidence of anyone breaking into his home or even using the spare key to get in. But as the Head Detective found out once he entered his bathroom, somehow Shawn appeared in his shower, fully clothed and a grin that rivaled the Cheshire cat's. "Hello, Lassie…" the fake psychic greeted before jumping Lassiter and practically smothered him with passionate kisses.

Perhaps the first thing I would note about your situation Bill is that you probably have more company than you know. While being a single person firm is indeed challenging, most of us with small firm stature started out the same way. Practical benefits you say. Humm.... that will be up to your own determination of course, but I'll give you the "benefits" I see in being associated with an SEA... (actually, more than one). I would suggest that much of the value is perhaps best viewed as indirect time. You won't be able to charge anyone (except yourself) for it but it has value nonetheless. Things like idle contact with fellow professionals may not seem like benefits, but developing interpersonal skills is necessary if you happen to view marketing by face-to face meetings important. It's relatively easy to "preach to the choir" and while it may seem counterproductive to chat with your competitors, I'd have to say that in my years of doing this I've not specifically noted this as a problem. In fact quite the opposite may be true. They may be a needed second opinion about working with other design professionals. While I try to avoid raising political figures too high above my head, I think George W's recent "citizens, not spectators" line is noteworthy. We ask ourselves all the time, how did this code thingy get so complicated. Of course we'd love to point at the SEA organizations and throw stones, but the facts are that we get there, legitimately or not, by the work of a few and the silence of many. Membership in an SEA offers direct involvement in the process, and as much as we'd like to consider the tools of "virtual" involvement sufficient, at this point they're not. The adage "whoever shows up" gets the attention is obvious in the code building process. Lastly, I view our professional associations as representative of our stature to the "outside" world. We can avoid involvement and complain that it doesn't represent our personal interests, or we can effect a change such that it is worthy of our time and talents. The choice is always there to join or distance yourself. I'd suggest that the "benefits" of joining outweigh the "benefits" of avoiding simply because the world will go on whichever way you choose, and the future is best shaped by involvement. And that's the way I see it. Barry H. Welliver (SEAONC, SEAU) Bill Polhemus wrote: > I am in the process of applying for membership in the Structural Engineers > Association of Texas (SEAoT).

31 Days of Horror: The Last Exorcism
The Last Exorcism is a documentary, well, actually it's more like a found footage movie, only, who could have possibly found this footage and, once found, edited it together into a feature length film? And why would they? The footage shows the murder of, at least, two people, and the implied murder of many, many more. So, it's just supposed to be a regular old exorcism movie then? Anybody? Hello?
Think about it too much, at least on a style level, as I did in the above skit (That's right - copy, paste into a Word document, and print out the above paragraph and you've got the raw materials for a hilarious "who's on first"-style skit, suitable for school or church!) and The Last Exorcism falls apart like a crucifix made of pudding. But lose yourself in the story and fine acting performances, and you've got a decent little horror flick here.
What makes The Last Exorcism so great is the lead performance of Patrick Fabian as Reverend Cotton Marcus, a Louisiana preacher who's lost his faith, faith it seems he never really had much of in the first place. He runs a fairly profitable side business as a Protestant exorcist, though he doesn't believe in demon possession, let alone demons themselves, but after reading an article about the death of a child during an exorcism in another state, Cotton decides to stop and use his reputation as an upstanding Man of God to help children. He decides to perform one last exorcism (get it!!!) and invites a documentary crew along to film it.
Cotton chooses an envelope at random from his "please get the demons outta me" letter pile and winds up at the remote and eerie Sweetzer Farm, where all manner of demony shit is going down. Louis Sweetzer believes that his daughter, Nell, is possessed by a demon that has been forcing her to kill his livestock. Cotton plays into the man's fears, conducting tests to determine which demon is living inside Nell (turns out it's a fun-loving fellow named Abalam, you know, but not really) and performing the exorcism, exposing the "tricks of the trade" to the documentary crew as he goes along. Following the exorcism, Cotton collects his demon-busting fee and bids farewell to both the Sweetzers and his life as a fraud.
Then, later that evening, a dazed and confused Nell shows up unannounced in Cotton's hotel room. Wait, whuuuuuuuuuuut?
This is a horror movie, so obviously there is something more going on here, but I bet it's not what you're expecting. Look, personally, I think you should give this film a chance. I liked it a lot. The whole documentary thing stops working once Nell shows up at the hotel, possibly still possessed by something, but if you can ignore that and stick with The Last Exorcism, I think it's worth it. If, however, you totally don't give a shit, here's what happens. SPOILERS AHEAD!
Short version: Nell is not possessed by a demon.
Phew! I thought demons were real for a second. That'd be scary, wouldn't it? I'm glad they're not.
Nell is, however, pregnant. Cotton first believes that she is pregnant with her father's offspring, as Louis is all shades of creepy and overbearing, but Cotton is wrong. Nell confesses that she is pregnant with a diner employee's baby, but when the camera crew confronts this alleged baby daddy, he informs them that he met Nell exactly once and that he's totally into dudes. So, who got Nell pregnant if it wasn't her dad or a gay guy?
It was the Devil. Oh, Devil, why are you always knocking up human ladies? Ain't you never heard of pulling out?
Anyway, yeah, Nell is pregnant with a devil baby and the local church congregation, which is a front for a cult of bonfire-loving Satanists, are using her to bring, I don't know, the Anti-Christ or something into the world, as they are wont to do.
My Favorite Part: Cotton realizes Nell is not truly possessed by a demon when she offers to give him a "blowing job." "What's a 'blowing job,' Nell?" he asks the writhing teenage girl, who gives him no answer. "A demon would know that it's called a blow job," Cotton counters. "I don't think you're possessed at all."
Blowing job. Heh.

For one week every school year, students at Spartanburg Day School take their learning out of the classroom and into locations across Spartanburg, the country and the world.
For one week every school year, students at Spartanburg Day School take their learning out of the classroom and into locations across Spartanburg, the country and the world.
Since 1996, the school has instituted a Special Studies Week that allows upper school students the opportunity to learn in ways that add to their everyday classroom instruction.
"I hope students can see the real-world applications in what they learn in the classroom everyday," said Jack MacMullan, head of the upper school.
This year, special studies week includes students hiking portions of the Appalachian Trail, a writer's retreat in Lake Keowee, events in and around Spartanburg and a trip in partnership with GlobalBike to Tanzania.
Joan Tobey, a math teacher at Spartanburg Day, is leading the trip to Tanzania and said she hopes students can adjust well to a different country.
"It's difficult to get used to a different culture, different food, different geography and different people," she said.
The trip will allow students to train for a long bike ride in the area south of Mount Kilimanjaro while giving bicycles to health workers in the area. Students will also participate in service projects at a local Tanzanian school.
Lee Aiken, a ninth-grader, wanted to go to Tanzania because he thought it would be more enjoyable than going to a foreign country and only seeing where tourists go.
"I wanted to go somewhere really unique, not just a tourist destination," he said.
Special Studies Week is held every year in early March to break up a period of the year when students have few breaks and holidays. The week tries to achieve a balance of in-town and out-of-town educational activities for students, so they can choose from a variety of different experiences.
School faculty members have meetings where trip ideas are discussed. Tobey noted there is a lot of autonomy in the decisions, so much so that student-suggested trips have made it into the week's plan over the years.
One of the student-suggested trips this year is a writer's workshop in Lake Keowee. Ella Webster, an 11th-grader, said she is thankful the school supports her love of writing.
"Writing is what I really love to do," said Webster, who wrote and directed her own original play at the school last year.
One group of students spent three days hiking portions of the Appalachian Trail with author and trail record-holder Jennifer Pharr-Davis. The other two days of the week will be spent hiking in Camp Croft and along Lawson's Fork Creek in Spartanburg.
"I like to experience nature first-hand, not just what someone tells me," said India Kozell, an 11th-grader who said she couldn't wait to spend time in the outdoors.
Pharr-Davis, who hiked the trail in 46 days, hiking roughly 47 miles a day, owns a hiking store in Asheville, N.C.. and said she's curious to see how such young hikers handle the terrain.
"I'm really excited about taking the students out," she said. "I want to be more of an observer than a leader."
Tobey said she hopes the events students participate in during Special Studies Week have a long lasting impact on their futures.
"School environments and trips and these opportunities can transform students and the way they think," she said.

L and I are both huge Law & Order fans and even considered inviting S. Epatha Merkerson to our wedding, so it was with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of Jerry Orbach.
Even though the years he spent playing wisecracking Detective Lennie Briscoe will loom large in the obituaries and television tributes this week, I first got to know Jerry's talents from a recording of The Fantasticks I received as a birthday present when I was in high school. As El Gallo, or the narrator of that long-running off-Broadway classic, he was the first person to bring life to the show's signature song, "Try to Remember."
Orbach was never a huge star in the way we think of celebrities today, but instead was one of those rare actors who did so many things across film, television and theater that it was hard to imagine someone like him ever dying.
I always got the impression that no matter what part he played - a theatrical director in "42nd Street," a mobster named Jack Rosenthal in "Crimes and Misdemeanors," or a talking candlelabra in "Beauty and the Beast" - the real Jerry Orbach was never too far below the surface. I'm sure others feel the same way. How else can you explain the affection pouring out of all corners of the Internet today for a 69-year-old actor?
Goodbye, Jerry. You are already missed.Posted by Doug at December 29, 2004 03:13 PM
A very sad day.Posted by: Evan at December 29, 2004 04:11 PM
We will miss him too. We saw 42nd Street for my 30th birthday when a 10th row center orchestra seat was $30. I guess Jerry and affordable seats on Broadway are both part of history now.
Happy New Year. Love to all.
To me, he'll always be Dr Houseman, the culprit who put Baby in the corner.... :)Posted by: E from Michigan at January 5, 2005 12:04 PM
The first episode of Law and Order was on Wed. since Jerry died and had a beautiful memorial to him at the end with music from the Fantastics playing in the background. It made me tear up just like your beautiful note makes me tear up every time I read it. He was really a talented person, and will definitely be missed.

- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil without stirring. Wipe down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Just as liquid begins to brown, swirl pan to color evenly. Remove from heat when liquid is dark amber. Slowly add cream, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add butter and vanilla; stir to combine. Let cool slightly.
Cook's Notes
Be careful when adding cream to the caramel; the mixture will bubble vigorously and emit hot steam.

- Project Details
Title ESPA EST 2.0. BUSINESS SPANISH FOR SMES
Project Number 2009-1-PL1-LEO05-05043
Product Reports
Title Reports
Product Type evaluation methods
Marketing Text Reports played key role in management and monitoring, therefore they were crucial for keeping high quality of the project results (related to management).
In ESPA2 project two kinds of reports were prepared:
1) internal reports from Partners activity, and their executed work,
2) external reports from dissemination activities in each Partners country.
Reports of the first type were prepared regularly before each Partner Meeting. So during the Partners Meeting each Partner had to present his part of the work, to say about the progress, and talk over the problematic things. The form of a report is up to a Partner, some Partners prepare the reports in Word documents, some in Power Point.
Reports of the second type were the documents prepared after each contact, which was made by Project Partners with Project beneficiaries, to document the dissemination and exploitation activities.
Target group
- projects users
- evaluators
Result It was one of the most important tools used in management system. Reports created an archive of the Project work and executed activities. In this way, talking about the general progress made on the Project, the result has a contribution to all Project objectives.
Area of application The reports concerning project work and dissemination activities support project management and facilitate the process of project monitoring. They play an important role in realization of the project quality policy, as well as in the process of evaluation. The reports contribute to efficient realization of the whole project and facilitate achieving the main project aims and objectives.

You may have noticed that there are several different ways to seal a wine bottle. There are corks made from bark, synthetic corks, twist off tops, and more. We even sell wine in pouches now (which has been a huge hit!). So what's the difference, and which one is best? Let's check it out. Traditional Cork It sounds obvious, but traditional cork is simply made from the bark of cork trees. We have some of the bark at the farm winery and if you ask we'd be happy to show it to you. It's light and feels, well, just like cork. Still, people are surprised when they pick it up.
We're going to have some great stuff here soon. Recipes, wine tips, news from the Vineyard, and more.

Liquidity Funding Concerns in a Rising Interest Rate Market
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm PT
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm MT
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CT
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm ET
Regulators continue to warn financial institutions of the impending interest rate risk as rates rise. This is a result of the lengthening of assets to generate yield, and the increase in non-maturity accounts due to the small spread between these accounts and certificates. The concern is that non-maturity accounts will shift back to certificates when rates rise and the spread lengthens. This is an interest rate risk that few institutions measure or monitor. You do not want to be caught after continuous regulator warnings.
This webinar will provide the tools necessary to meet fully the requirements of FIL-84-2008 Liquidity Risk Management. This webinar will also establish the methodology for you to be proactive in understanding your specific liquidity risk and to make decisions that will avert a significant liquidity event. Join us to learn techniques for addressing the new and growing liquidity parameters that are being monitored by regulators.
Continuing Education: Attendance verification for CE credits upon request
- Determining the potential negative impact of a shift from non-maturity deposits to certificates
- How to examine the amount of asset lengthening at your financial institution
- Establishing a pro forma cash flow projecting future sources and uses of funds
- How to stress liquidity and the impact of that stress
- Key components of an effective Contingency Funding Plan (CFP)
- Impact of other significant liquidity changes if your institution becomes stressed:
- Borrowed funds – additional hair cut
- Loss of federal funds lines
- Deposit withdrawals
- Example of methodologies to:
- Determine the impact of a shift in non-maturity deposits
- Compare to peers in the lengthening of assets
- Develop a liquidity plan
- Stress liquidity
- Develop a liquidity contingency plan
- Employee training log
- Quiz you can administer to measure staff learning and a separate answer key
This informative session is designed for presidents, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and board members who want to be proactive in dealing with liquidity issues.

Green Beret Grampy

Richard Lugo sends us some fan art of Grampy in green!
I see no picture…?
EXACTLY! He is a master of destruction, his every movement goes unseen, he is, GREEN BERET GRAMPY!
Do you really think he was in Vietnam and Korea? Or is he also from those special forces somewhere in another dimension of space?
In one of the strips he says he enlisted at a young age due to the racial climate where he was living at the time. He says he did a tour in Korea and 2 during Vietnam. The 2 wars were about a decade apart and it's not too hard to see how a few career soldiers could have fought in both wars. Some even fought during WW2.

Top legislative leaders to address small business day
PHOENIX—The biggest lobbying day for the most important component of Arizona's economy will take place on the Senate lawn of the State Capitol, Monday, March 20.
That is when the National Federation of Independent Business in partnership with APS and 19 other supporting groups will hold their third annual Small Business Day at the Capitol. "It will forever be NFIB's educational mission to remind lawmakers across the nation that small businesses are not smaller versions of big businesses," said Farrell Quinlan, NFIB's Arizona state director. "They have a much tougher time remaining solvent, and these Small Business Days are a chance for Main Street entrepreneurs to add an exclamation point to that message."
Senate President Steve Yarbrough and House Speaker J.D. Mesnard will give event attendees an update on the progress of legislation helpful for small-business expansion and job-creation. Their counterparts, Senate Minority Leader Katie Hobbs and House Minority Leader Rebecca Rios, have been invited to speak, as has state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, whose work in arresting the explosion of ADA drive-by lawsuits has drawn high small-business praise.
Also speaking will be Sen. Steve Farley, assistant minority leader, and invited to speak are three directors from three state agencies at the

Grin and Bear It, Mr. Crain
That Zac Crain is one busy dude -- running for mayor (well...), editing a magazine, writing a book. Wait .. you didn't know the last part? Yeah -- it's a bio of the late "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott titled Black Tooth Grin: The High Life, Good Times, and Tragic End of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, due in November from DeCapo Press.
Only, here's the weird part. We just got an e-mail, from Abbott family publicist Jane Hoffman (she also works with Vinnie Paul Abbott's Hellyeah), warning us that this book is a fraud, a phony -- a sham, I tellya!
The family of the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott has not authorized nor cooperated with Zac Crain on his upcoming book on Dimebag, scheduled for release on Perseus Books in November of 2007. In addition, Mr. Crain did not know Dimebag personally.
Mr. Crain's request to the family was denied. Among other reasons, during his tenure as music editor of the Dallas Observer, Mr. Crain wrote nothing but negative reviews about Pantera's music.
Then there was the link to this single story Zac wrote seven years ago, in which he said a few unkind things about 1996's The Great Southern Trendkill ("The Cowboys from Hell should stick to running low-class strip joints instead of trying to record albums that would be played in them"). Hoffman forgot to include this story, which I rather liked. Either way, the PR machine's churning early for this one; Mr. Crain couldn't have asked for more. --Robert Wilonsky

Developing a better understanding of classroom practices through the elucidation of teaching puzzles Dr Assia Slimani-Rolls M. Rawson, Dr G. Paul & Dr V. Krishnan Regents' College, London firstname.lastname@example.com
Action Research A primary 'vehicle for practitioners' personal and professional development' (Burns 2005:70) Action research related branches Action learning Practitioner inquiry Reflective practice Exploratory practice (Burns 2005: 57) 2
" Teacher development needs to address that professional self esteem which is rooted in on-going achievements rather than in the attainment of other people's imperatives" (Breen, 2006:217-218) " Bottom up teacher development is not only crucial to individual language teaching development but for the teaching profession as a whole" (Mann, 2005:112)
Exploratory Practice
5 Exploratory Practice involves A. Practitioners working to understand a. what they want to understand, following their own agendas; b. not necessarily in order to bring about change ; d. But by using normal pedagogic practices as investigative tools, so that working for understanding is part of L &T, not extra to it; e. in a way that does not lead to 'burn-out', but that is indefinitely sustainable c. Not primarily by changing
6 B. In order to contribute to f. teaching and learning themselves; g. professional development, both individual and collective. (Allwright, 2003:127-128)
7 Key principles of EP put 'quality of life' first work primarily to understand classroom life work to bring people together work for mutual development integrate the work for understanding into classroom practice make the work a continuous enterprise
From 'why don't the students engage more with my teaching? to 'why don't I let the students engage more with my teaching?' 8
Methodology (a) Ts videotape themselves and analyse the teaching episodes in the 1 st 20 minutes of their session. (b) What is a 'teaching episode'? A segment of clsrm interaction with - Boundaries … beginning and end - Centre of gravity … thematic unity - Significance … in terms of learning [Kiely & Davies, 2010] (c)Group discussions, workshops & learner questionnaire. 9
week 2 (12 wk term) Learner responsibility towards the module What do you think your class contribution could be? The learners' responses were overwhelmingly positive 'prepare & complete assignments for class & participate in class discussion', to participate in all aspects', 'share my views & questions', 'being an active member in discussions' What are you prepared to do, outside the class, for this module? - 76.4% 'read' - 17.6% 'practice the skills that I've used learned in this module'. - 5.8% Other
There appears to be a mismatch between the teachers' perceptions- wanting the students to produce more effort- and the students' claims of doing so.
Some preliminary statistics on classroom interaction T1- Seminar 1: 50 minutes, 35 students 90% talking done by T (31 ?s asked by T & 16 ?s by STS) T2- seminar 1: 50 minutes, 13 students 86% talking done by the T (39 ?s asked by the T & 1 ?s by ST) 12
" Still students are showing engagement" 13
14 Excerpt 1: Corporate Social Responsibility T: So, do they (organisations) have a moral obligation to us as mbers of our Sty? St1: Yes. T: Yes, but why? St1: There are moral obligations if they're inflicting that kind of damage on the surroundings. T: I don't disagree with you, but legally are they right or wrong? St2: Being legal is different from being moral. For e.g, right now, it's legal to get an abortion in the States, but not everybody thinks that's moral. T: So, where do we draw the line for an organisation in our society? Do we expect them to bring + to the table than just make profit? I'm going to show you something now that we're going to talk about today. [T shows a video clip]
The student managed to relate a specific business context to her personal knowledge & understanding of a different socio-political context in her own country: from CSR to abortion
16 Excerpt 2: Human Resource Management T: Yeah, eventually they (employees) want a raise. These are 2 terms- disciplinary & grievance- What's the difference between the two? St: disciplinary is when you have a problem with staff & grievance is when staff has a problem. T: me as a company? St: Yeah T: Brilliant. Excellent. Grievance (writes on the Bd) is you, disciplinary is if I don't turn to classes & you're sitting there & I don't happen to turn up. I don't mark your coursework & don't do the things I'm required to do. RC will start a disciplinary action against me. They'll say you're not doing the job we're paying you to do. Therefore we start the disciplinary procedures to make sure either you do it or we get rid of you. Can you read this from where you are? Good.
17 The student shows evidence of knowledge by proposing examples and illustrations: 'disciplinary vs grievance'
18 Excerpt 3: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) T: Well, he [student 1] says he's come here for the money & how the money's made doesn't bother him. He's here to make money, not to save the world. St2: That's selfish (class laughs.) St1: If I'm not selfish, I won't make money. St3: You can have money and be a socially responsible cie. You increase your profit if you're responsible. T: SR increases your profit. You increase your profit, she says. Let me show you something here. [ T shows an ad by Waitrose justifying their prices by setting up crèches for their employees]
19 The student is a step ahead of the teacher: 'we can profit & be responsible'
20 Excerpt 4: Introduction to the English Legal System T: Ok, you've all got your handouts from last week, so we're going to start by looking at the 1 st lecture which is basically an introduction to the English legal system, the classification, the sources. Now can I ask you, what is meant by the word source or clause? What is your understanding of it? If it's a source, what do you mean? St1: A reference. T: A reference, yeah. St2: Where it came from. T: Where it came from, yes. St3: The origin. T: The origin, yes. Anything else? Ok, so one of the things we are looking at today is having an understanding of what is law, looking at its various categories, examining the sources of law…
21 The student defines terms: 'source/reference/where it came from/origin'
22 Excerpt 5: Introduction to the English Legal System [T discussing whether and how law protects society] T: If you want to define law, therefore, how would you define it? St1: A rule. T: A rule? St1: A set of rules. T: Is it different when you say rule of law, or rules of law? Are they the same or are they different? St1: You can have laws, but it doesn't necessarily always cover everything, that's why you have ethics. T: Rule of law means a system. Rules of law means rules within that system. So law is a mixture of rules & regulations that govern or regulate or seek to draw the parameters of acceptable behaviour both in private and in public. Which does it regulate + your behaviour in private or in public?
23 - The student is on the same wavelength with the teacher and shows co-production & intersubjectivity: 'rule vs set of rules' - The student brings in a different dimension: 'laws & ethics'
24 " So students are showing engagement"
25 What then comes in the Teachers' way of not acknowledging the students' engagement? Seeing learners as 'capable of taking learning seriously' (Allwright & Hanks, 2009:5) Complexity in the process of making real-time decisions - dealing w/ sts' unexpected responses- moving from CSR to abortion in the States; from laws to ethics; - One decision satisfies one variable - rewarding the st by showing through the video that her response was correct has however stopped her from verbally contributing further to the clsrm discourse;
26 The feeling that lecturers have to display their expertise - providing a response when the students have already shown evidence of knowledge. Teachers' Perceptions of what they think they do as opposed to what they actually do. Perceiving students as empty vessels - not tapping in the sts' prior knowledge in the subject. Focusing on breath of coverage through ppt
Transmissive type of learning culture rather than a collaborative type of learning culture based on exchanging & sharing ideas.
28 'Understanding as a prerequisite to intelligent decision-making' The elucidation of the puzzle has revealed that there is plenty of students' engagement. The teachers' have realised that they were not acknowledging and honouring their students' contributions in the first place. Pair work & group work could have been recommended right from the start given that most of the talk was done by the teachers. However, these are complex collaborative ways of learning and require that both parties listen and take notice of each other (Slimani-Rolls, 2003).
29 "This exercise has enabled me to reconnect with the students". "I realise that teaching is not about demonstrating my expertise but about conveying it effectively to the students". "I've been on auto pilot for so long that I didn't realise I wasn't quite listening to my students & that I wasn't giving them space". "More staff should be involved in such activities"
