I'm Rachel Wintz, a Sociologist from Anchorage, Alaska. I'm working on a proposal to study and report on the sustainable fashion industry, profiling sustainable innovations within the industry and looking toward the future of the fashion industry and its impact around the globe on social, economic, and environmental factors.
I'd like to interview people in all sorts of positions within the fashion industry -from the farm to the factory to the shop. If the proposal is funded, I will be submitting reports to be disseminated by either the National Geographic or the Institute of Current World Affairs. If you're available for an interview about your work in the sustainable fashion industry or perhaps would like to do a multimedia project about your work, please contact me at email@example.com.
Additionally, if you have information or resources you can refer me to, I'm happy to receive any expertise you have to share with me about the sustainable fashion industry. Your collaboration is much appreciated and will greatly enhance my understanding of the sustainable fashion industry.

Juni 2003
BeschreibungAn exploration of the various styles of eighteenth-century dance, i.e. ballroom versus ballet, the four traditional styles of theatrical dance, regional preferences for given styles, and the breakdown of this system of styles, together with a consideration of the importance of caprice, dance according to gender, the overall voluptuous nature of stage dancing and finally dance notation and costume.
InhaltsverzeichnisChapter 1 Acknowledgments Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 1 The Rise of "the French Art of Dance" Chapter 4 2 Ballroom Dancing versus Ballet Chapter 5 3 The Four Traditional Styles of Ballet Chapter 6 4 One Man's Style, Another Man's Poison Chapter 7 5 The "Fair Sex" and Its Style Chapter 8 6 Caprice: To Each His Own Style Chapter 9 7 The Meltdown of the Four Traditional Styles Chapter 10 8 Voluptuousness: The Heartbeat of Ballet Chapter 11 9 Choregraphie: Choreographic Representation and Misrepresentation Chapter 12 Appendix: Remarks on Costume Chapter 13 Bibliography Chapter 14 Index Chapter 15 About the Author
PortraitEdmund Fairfax is an independent scholar.
PressestimmenWell-researched...Recommendeddddd CHOICE ...a scholarly, well-researched, but very readable work on the development of ballet in the 1700s...Even non-history buffs will want to invest in [this] book. Dancer An enormously valuable work of scholarship. American Society For Eighteenth-Century Studies Book Reviews This forthright book addresses many misconceptions surrounding eighteenth-century dance. Its author, schooled in music, fashion design, languages, classical ballet and Baroque dance, is well placed to address these myths...Fairfax's careful selection and shaping of copious quotations from primary sources should convince all but the most blinkered reader that this period's dances and dancers were anything by primitive...a wealth of new material and interpretations...This book is planned as the first in a series of three studies: volume two will consider technique, while the final volume will cover pantomime ballet. Fairfax has challenged many of our perceptions with a clear-sighted approach to constructing history, working from the declared philosophy that a historical document read in isolation is not actual 'history'. Given Fairfax's striking conclusions and the breadth of his reading, we can anticipate that the other volumes will also break new ground in dance history. Eighteenth-Century Music ...explores an important subject that has received little attention in the past, has been treated piecemeal when it did, and is finally tackled here with confidence, over a broad base of data...The project is colossal, the material is rich, and the book is dense with quotations, packed with fascinating information that the reader must absorb at the frenzied pace set by an author who capers his way up and down the eighteenth century and back and forth across European borders...Fairfax's give to dance history is substantial...

Ahh yes, it's with mixed feelings (notice how people always put that in emails when someone is leaving??) that I announce my departure from the role of .NET Developer Evangelist.
I still remember when I started…
And my first blog post on MSDN Blogs…
My first Flash editorial…
And the stats aren't bad…
Days in job: 671
Number of Blog Posts: 415
Number of Comments: 561
Number of Trackbacks: 195
Traveled: Many times around Oz, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, U.S
Number of TechEd's: 2 (Gold Coast, 2005) (Sydney, 2006)
So the obvious question remains…where am I going???
NO WHERE!! Buahahahha…(perhaps I'm the only person who found this setup devilishly witty!?) I'm actually just moving to a new role, still within Franky's team, still as a Developer Evangelist (notice I said above, .NET DE), but focusing more on working with ISV's around our Dynamics platform.
So while I'm not really going anywhere, I kind of am… (cue Highway to Heaven music) 😉

Republican dissidents are believed to have shot dead a man in the centre of Derry city.
The victim has been named locally as Barry McGorry, whose body was found in his flat in Shipquay Street at around 11am on Thursday morning.
His murder came just hours after the New IRA admitted killing Kevin Kearney in north Belfast. The father of four was found in a lake inside Alexandra park, off the Antrim Road, on Wednesday afternoon.
In a terse statement the New IRA said Kearney was shot after the group carried out "an investigation".
Alexandra park is still divided by a so-called peace wall, which has created separate Protestant and Catholic zones. Construction of the barrier began on 1 September 1995 – the first day of the Provisonal IRA's ceasefire. It was built to keep rival gangs of nationalist and loyalist youths from rioting in the park despite the nascent peace process.
However, there is little possibility of a sectarian motive as Kearney was a Catholic.
Republican sources told the Guardian the same anti-ceasefire terror organisation was behind McGorry's murder in Derry.
Tle local SDLP member of the Northern Ireland assembly, Pat Ramsey, who lives in the Bogside district of Derry, described the moment when the murdered man's mother, father and younger brother turned up at his flat shortly before lunchtime.
"It was a terrible, harrowing, disturbing thing to see the anguish on their faces, Ramsey said. "This is an appalling and disgraceful incident. I was in the vicinity this morning and heard the shots that have resulted in the tragic loss of life.
"My condolences and sympathies are with the family of the victim at this time. I would urge anyone with any information about this incident to contact the police."
Ramsey said the Diamond/Shipquay Street area was covered by CCTV and that footage may provide clues for the police to work with.
The MP for the area, the SDLP's Mark Durkan, said: "Shootings like this are resented not just as ruthless attacks on individuals but also as attacks on the peace and image of the city."
The organisation that claimed responsibility for the Belfast murder and is that thought to be behind the Derry killing is an amalgam of the Real IRA, independent republican terror units in areas such as East Tyrone, as well as members of Republican Action Against Drugs in Derry city.

I am configuring spicworks and have just finished running my first scans. There are loads of "windows does not respond. Permission or firewall problem" messages. Is there a way to configure multiple username/passwords to be used against these boxes and is there something I should do on each of the boxes to make sure that Spiceworks can do its job?

Hi Steve,
1. Make sure UAC is disabled.
2. If you have mutliple user names you can either create a new account on the PCs and ensure they are in the local admin group or you can segregate the devices and enter the credentials accordingly.
Mar 20, 2008 at 6:07 UTC
what is the best way to be sure that we do this. . . group policy?
How about using the net user administrator /active:yes
cmd on the vista machines that we set up.. . would activating this super user on the vista machines work to allow Spiceworks to do its job?
Thank you.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
The stated mission during Wednesday's media day for the UNCW women's basketball team was clear as fourth-year coach Adell Harris put the focus on the weeks ahead and not some of the other issues the program dealt with over the last month or so.
After a successful season in which the Seahawks surpassed most of their stated goals for the year, UNCW heads into practice without two of their key contributors, who made up about 50 percent of its scoring from the 2014-15 slate.
Despite some of the questions from a scoring standpoint the Seahawks might have following a 10-8 mark in conference and 14-16 overall record, Harris understands the challenges ahead and believes she has the pieces in place to follow up a winning season in league play with a step in the right direction.
"The big picture is always to take strides to make this a championship program," said Harris. "I think moving into 2015-16 for this team is to make it a winning season. It's something that hasn't been done frequently on the women's side. The program is 43 years old and we've had seven winning seasons. To be able to say you were part of one of them is huge. We felt like we let it get away one year ago and if the kids could go back and reflect they'd say the same thing."
The two playmakers the Seahawks will be missing from last year's team include: Kelva Atkins, the team's leading scorer, who averaged 16.7 points per game as a senior and junior Brie Mobley. Mobley was kicked off the team for a violation of team rules. Harris would only comment that Mobley would no longer be a member of the program.
"The emphasis is not on what was and it's on these players right here," Harris added. "We appreciate Brie's contributions to the program over the last two years, but you need to get to know the players right here, the work they're putting in to make this team successful."
As for some of the players looking to pick up the slack, with exactly one month to go before their first exhibition game, UNCW returns eight letter winners in addition to freshman Emily Thomas, an Ohio native. Transfers Jenny DeGraaf and Janea Williams also transferred into the program, but will have to sit out one season per NCAA guidelines.
The Seahawks' front court will also be without junior Ryan Flowers, who is out for the year with a back injury, but Harris thinks one of the players that could have a breakout season is sophomore Rebekah Banks. The 6-foot, one-inch center saw plenty of minutes through her freshman campaign and is looking to contribute on both sides of the floor.
Naqaiyyah Teague will also look to take a bigger role as the team's vocal leader on the court as the junior likes to mix it up in the paint with her aggressive play and consistent effort.
"I've really been working this season to be a more all-around player," said Teague, who averaged 7.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game last season. "I'm the talker on the floor and we work hard daily. This is not something that's going to happen in one day or one week. But, we are grinding right now and looking forward to getting into practice."
Redshirt senior Shatia Cole will also be asked to spearhead the team's backcourt, while Amber Reeves brings her on-ball defensive skills to the court. The Seahawks will also look for Madison Raque and Jordan Henry to help as shooters. Jasmine Steele is also a wild card in the rotation, with a pesky ability to move the ball in transition as a redshirt-senior transfer from Alabama.
Cole was the team's third-leading scorer a year ago with a 10.2 average, while Steele looks to improve on her 38 percent shooting percentage from behind the arc.
"I know we had a lot of adversity, but I think we've come through it and have confidence that we depend on each other," said Cole. "I'm hyped for the first practice and know everyone has each other's back. It's my last season and I'm really taking it in. While it's my last year, it's about the team and how we do and not me."
Harris also took some time on Wednesday to talk about some of the off-the-court accolades, singling out Reeves, a 3.0 student. The Marietta, Georgia native commented on her ability to keep her attention on the game, with concentration in the classroom.
"It really comes down to time management," said Reeves. "Coach does a great job with getting us a monthly schedule so we know exactly what to expect. I make sure that during off time and weekends I take care of the small assignments and utilize my time wisely."
UNCW heads into one month of practice before the only exhibition of the preseason against Mount Olive on Saturday, Nov. 7. A new change to NCAA women's basketball this season is games will consist of four 10-minute quarters rather than a pair of 20-minute halves.

My one year summary probation ended on September of 2012. Would it be wiser to wait one more year before I apply? Thank You
The usual fact is that the more time that has passed between the offense and the license app, the stronger the case for the app. But the time measure needs to be larger to be truly meaningful. And your prior offense "problem" is very minor. It's a judgment call but, weighing the factors you have articulated here, it makes sense to go ahead and apply now.

It's awards season: we've seen the Grammys and the Golden Globes and the Oscars take place tonight in Hollywood. But did you know it was awards season for kids' books, too? The American Library Association (ALA) announced the winners of its annual youth media awards for 2017, including the prestigious Newbery and Caldecott medals for children's books.
Since 1922, the John Newbery Medal has been awarded to the author of the most distinguished American children's book by the Association for Library Service for Children (ALSC), a division of the ALA. This year, the Newbury Medal goes to The Girl Who Drank the Moon, by Kelly Barnhill, published by Algonquin Young Readers. The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a coming-of-age fairy tale that tells the story of Luna, a young girl raised by a witch, a swamp monster, and a tiny dragon. When the people of the Protectorate endanger the Xan, the kind, gentle, and unfortunately misunderstood witch who lives in the forest, it's up to Luna to save her. Find it at a local Marin library here.
My kids have always loved to go to the library and check out a big stack of books that relate to the current holiday or season. Valentine's Day of course is no exception, so here are some of our choices for great kids' books to read this week. Find them at your local library or bookstore. The links on each title take you to that book's listing on the Marin County Free Library website.

Groggle's Monster Valentine by Diana Murray
Groggle has been up all night making a Valentine's Day card. This isn't just any Valentine, though, and it has to be perfect—it's for Snarlina, his beast friend in the whole wide world. Will Groggle's monster impulses foil his plans? (The library doesn't have this book yet, but you can suggest it to them.)

Touch Think Learn ABC by Xavier Deneux
A modern graphical alphabet book with luxurious thick board pages. What makes this book so extraordinary are the cut-outs from one page which correspond with a raised part of the facing page. It's almost like a pop-up book for the very young.
Fall is here, and what is a better way to celebrate its arrival than with a good book? My kids and I love to go to the library and pick out some great Halloween children's books to read together, and fall is definitely one of our favorite times of year.
Here are some of our favorites that we've enjoyed over the years. All of these books should be available at public libraries throughot Marin. You can look to see if your local library has these titles available at marinlibrary.org.
Five Little Pumpkins by Dan Yaccarino: This Halloween version of the traditional counting rhyme features bold and colorful illustrations that little ones will love.
When it comes to personal happiness, sometimes we all could use a little inspiration. In her new book Moments: Magic, Miracles, and Martinis ($11.95, Turtle Spirit Press, 2016; 112 pages) local Marin author, mom, and tech company VP Amy Van Atta Slater shares the inspirational story of her unexpected journey to self awareness and the things she learned along the way.
Amy's story is personal and inspiring, and follows her struggles in the wake of her divorce and diagnosis with chronic Irritable Bowell Syndrome (IBS), as well as her role as a single parent and her father's battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Along the way, she shares how she learned to deal with each of these obstacles to make her journey a life-changing one. Some of the points she touches on that really resonated with me was her personal challenge to not complain about anything for 24 hours (try it some time—it's harder than it sounds!), slowing down and appreciating life, being authentic in your life and dealings with other people, gratitude for what you have in life, and what it means to really be happy.
Moments is a short and easy read, but dense with inspirational moments. You'll probably find yourself flipping back through it to re-read parts that are relevant to what's currently going on in your life. As a mom and fellow Marin resident, much of what Amy writes about in Moments really resonates with me, even if our lives aren't that similar. It's a highly recommended read for anyone looking for a little inspiration during moments of uncertainty in life. You're not going through it alone!
It's hard to believe that the end of the school year is almost upon us. You can keep the learning—and fun—alive this summer by participating in the Marin County Free Library's 2016 summer learning program, Read for the Win. This summer's learning program, with an Olympics-inspired theme, encourages kids not only to read, but to play games, participate in outdoor activities, and learn by doing. The program is packed with fun activities and events for the family, so get to the library and start reading now—Read for the Win kicks Saturday, June 11.
It's awards season, with the Golden Globes taking place last Sunday and the Oscars coming up next month. But did you know it was awards season for kids' books, too? This week the American Library Association (ALA) announced the winners of its annual youth media awards for 2016, including the prestigious Newbery and Caldecott medals for children's books.
Since 1922, the John Newbery Medal has been awarded to the author of the most distinguished American children's book by the Association for Library Service for Children (ALSC), a division of the ALA. This year, the medal goes to Last Stop on Market Street, written by Matt de la Peña and illustrated by Christian Robinson (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2015). In this book, a young boy name CJ rides the bus with his Nana, where he discovers music, nature, and the people around him. Find it at a local Marin library here.
The 2016 runner-up Newbery Honor Books include The War that Saved my Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson (one of our recent favorites!), and Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan.
The holidays are here, and great books always make fantastic gifts for kids! Clare Doornbos, the children's book expert at Diesel bookstore in Larkspur, saves us all a lot of time and stress by highlighting her picks for best kids' books in 2015.

*From the Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Correspondence to: Carl van Walraven, MD, MSc, Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Health Research Institute, C404, Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus, 1053 Carling Ave, Ottawa ON, Canada K1Y 4E9; e-mail: email@example.com
Background: On average, patients receiving therapy with oral anticoagulants (OACs) in the community are in the therapeutic range only 55% of the time. Anticoagulation control strongly influences the risk of hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events in such patients. However, not all anticoagulation-associated events are attributable to poor anticoagulation control, nor do all hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events occur in anticoagulated patients.
Objective: Measure the proportion of serious hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events that would be avoided if anticoagulation control was perfect.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of eastern Ontario using population-based administrative databases. Anticoagulation control was determined for each day of OAC exposure using linear interpolation. Incident hemorrhagic or thromboembolic hospitalizations for control and OAC patients were identified. Hemorrhages and thromboemboli in OAC patients were deemed to be avoidable if they occurred at international normalized ratios of > 3 and < 2, respectively.
Results: The study included > 183,000 patient-years of observation with 6,400 patient-years of OAC exposure. Anticoagulation control could be determined for 51.5% of OAC exposure time. Control patients had hemorrhagic and thromboembolic event rates of 1.8% and 1.5% per year, respectively. A total of 10,020 people were exposed to OACs, and spent 14.2% and 26.7% of the time, respectively, with excessively high and low anticoagulation intensity. Excessively high anticoagulation intensity explained 25.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 19.4 to 31.7) and 2.0% (95% CI, 1.5 to 2.5) , respectively, of all serious hemorrhages in the anticoagulated and entire population. Excessively low anticoagulation intensity explained 11.1% (95% CI, 4.4 to 17.7) and 1.1% (95% CI, 0.7 to 1.6) of all thromboemboli, respectively.
Conclusions: Our study showed that extreme anticoagulation intensity significantly impacted the health of the population. Improving anticoagulation control will have significant effects on the incidence of serious hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events in the both the anticoagulated and entire populations.

Going up
Um..No clue what to write!
I stood on the table. My white button down shirt was traded in for a black top, my kaka skirt was now red. I looked awesome, and that's just what we wanted.
Logan's mom stood in front of me, and smiled.
"I can't believe this is the same little Emmie. God, Loagon, why did you won't this for your little bands look!" She laughed at her own joke, her and my mom came up with the photo shoot idea.
"It will help you get noticed! Come on, don't you won't to get famous." We did won't to, but if I'd known I'd be in this, I would have never agreed to it! I mean, I think Mom had more fun with the costume!
"Ok, Em, lay down, and kick your feet. Good, now Loagon, hand her that mike! Awesome." The bright bulb flashed, than again, and again. "Beautiful Emmie! Now, lets the boys done, and we'll get that gothic scene done!"
We where a Minnie Paramore. Well, not really. It's just Loagon, Gavin, and me. They both played instruments, me, well. I sing! I really wanted to play Guitar, but Loagon already played it. So, some how the boys and the moms roped me into singing. So, now I'm a singer. Not a really one, we'll not famouse yet. Yet.

We've all seen my style go from chic and classy to edgy and cool. As much as I love exploring different styles, my favourite style moments are my chic and classy outfits. This outfit is ideal for work but rather than a normal blazer and skirt pairing, I decided to tuck my blazer in to create a blouse. I then cinched in my waist with my brown belt.
After graduating from college and now recently turning twenty, I have been making major decisions regarding my future. Through all this I have realized that people always have something to say about your life, what you should and should not do but you know what at the end of the day, do what makes you happy and seek God for guidance. We are young, this is the time to try new things. Do not be afraid to step out and chase your dreams. Never get comfortable because it leads to mediocrity and I will not settle for less than I know I deserve!
Blazer: Thrifted // Skirt: H&M // Shoes, Necklace: Forever 21 // Belt: Stradivarius
What do you think of my blazer transformation?

Buildings are now generating vast amounts of data, cities need to be sustainable, flexible and producers of resources. AEC professionals must also have their eye on environmental impact and diminishing greenhouse gas emissions in design and construction as well as operations. As owner/operators get more involved in the entire lifecycle of the project, there is a greater need for convergence and collaboration of AEC teams.

AECCafe Special Report: AEC Collaboration Platforms and the CloudFriday, March 18th, 2016
From the Exhibit Floor at AIA in AtlantaTuesday, June 2nd, 2015
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Convention held in Atlanta two weeks ago, was the setting for a number of AEC vendors to announce new products and services.
Nemetschek AG will acquire Bluebeam Software, Inc.Thursday, October 16th, 2014
Nemetschek AG Vectorworks CEO Sean Flaherty spoke with AECCafe Voice about the recent acquisition by Nemetschek of the PDF workflow solution company Bluebeam Software, Inc. Nemetschek will acquire 100% of Bluebeam Software. Headquartered in Pasadena, Calif. Bluebeam is a provider of PDF-based workflow solutions for digital processes and collaboration in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry with more than 650,000 users worldwide. Over 74% of the top U.S. companies in the construction industry are Bluebeam customers. According to the company's own calculations, the use of Bluebeam solutions increases productivity by 60%, reduces the costs of paper and distribution by up to 85%, and leads to a reduction of schedules of 40%. Bluebeam Software offers Bluebeam Revu, which provides PDF creation, markup, editing and collaboration, Bluebeam Vu, a free PDF viewer and Bluebeam for iPad, providing the functionality of Revu especially for mobile users, Bluebeam Q, automating the production of PDFs from original source files, and Bluebeam Studio Enterprise, a server-based solution for collaboration in a locally hosted environment.
AECCafe Voice: What PDF solution for collaboration was Nemetschek using previously?
Sean Flaherty: For years, Nemetschek Group products have produced high-quality PDF files so we have many customers already using PDF in their standard processes. Until the Bluebeam acquisition, we didn't have a PDF-centric workflow solution.
AIA 2014: The Story from the Exhibit FloorThursday, July 10th, 2014

Toward the back are the software vendors, which provide the design and conceptual tools to make the building a reality.

dreaming, seeing, hoping, someone will find.
I'm dreaming,
Dreaming of you here,
So I know that you are there,
Dreaming when I'm asleep,
So I know that you care.
I'm lying awake,
Missing you more,
walking through that door,
Lying awake now I'm alive,
Because I know I need more.
Stuck in my thoughts,
How much I'm missing you,
Hoping it was true,
Thinking everything like,
if you miss me too?
This is a nightmare,
Cause you're not here with me,
In your dreams you will see,
Whilst I'm in my nightmare,
In your dreams what we can be.
I'm drifting,
Whilst I'm here alone,
Holding on to the things you've shown
While I'm falling asleep,
Knowing that I'm home.
I'm dreaming once again,
Knowing I am safe,
Lying down as I cover my face,
I'm dreaming once more,
Because we are in our place.

Every now and then I run across something special that intrigues me to the point of concentrated research and inquiry, either for a story to write or refer, or merely my own satisfaction in learning something new. Such is the case with an article from the Business Weekly supplement of the Sarasota Harold-Tribune dated Oct. 21,2002. At the time, I was busy with other things, but it looked so interesting that I set it aside for later reading
The artist's rendering is a
stern shot showing its
aircraft landing system
and its size compared
to a large ocean liner.
The conceptual rendering
shows the proposed
Freedom Ship from an
Overhead, off its port.
Michael Pollack's article entitled Fantastic Voyage begins some ten years in the future to tease and titillate then returns to the present with facts that may resemble fiction, considering the staggering odds against finalization of the concept. That concept is an "almost mile-long, $11 Billion, 25-story floating city, with an average population of 100,000." It is called the Freedom Ship—a barge five times larger than our latest U.S. aircraft carrier—with an entire city rising from its hull.
Sarasota engineer Norm Nixon dreamed up this unique idea back in 1994, and has passionately and faithfully pursued this dream until its reality no longer seems impossible. His main problem now isn't as much convincing people it will work, but raising the necessary capital required to make it happen. That, too, is underway.

Let's Do This
I listened to Jeremey's Plan. I was supposed to make my way to the cockpit, (invisible.) After that, I would steer this thing back toward earth, and once we were close enough, Ami would make a wall of fire, and guide them to where they could get parachutes. From their they would eject the plane onto earth, and I would get one for myself in the cockpit, and then do the same.
Seemed good enough. "Ok, you ready? Jeremy and Shade asked almost at the same time.
"I guess. . . ." I mumbled, and with that, turned invisible and walked out of the room. I passed many aliens, none of them noticing me. fewf!
Eventually, I found the Cockpit, the pilot watching nothing but infront of him, the stars going by at lightning speed.
I wonder how fast this thing can go, I thought to myself. My knife was on my belt, and I slowly pulled it out, quickly slicing his neck, the knife cutting through his jugguler and wind-pipe.
He fell over on the ground, and I immediatly sat down in the chair.
Now all I had to do was figure out how to fly this thing. Couldn't be that hard, right? Wrong.
I looked all over, but couldn't find anything. How were you supposed to fly this thing? Then I realized it. There was a joy stick type thing, but to reach it you had to stick you hand through a wall seeming made out of slim.
Ewww! I slowly reached my hand toward it, feeling the discusting, cold greesy slim. I pushed my hand through, and finaly reached the Joy-stick.
"Ok, lets do this." I said to myself.

Melbourne : After Steve Harvey's blunder that grabbed the headlines left people buzzing, the newly crowned Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach penned a heartfelt note to Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, urging her fans not to spread hate.
Describing Gutierrez as strong and beautiful, Wurtzbach took to Instagram and facebook to say that they would be bonded together forever through the controversial end to this year's Miss Universe pageant, News.com.au reports.
The 26-year-old actress post read as, "To Ariadna, you are an amazing woman and we are now bonded together forever by a unique experience. In the last 3 weeks we were together, I saw how strong and beautiful you are inside and out."
She continued, "You represented your country with honor and I know how proud everyone must be of you. Fate has a plan for you, and I'm excited to see what's ahead. And to all the fans who are still fighting about this.Please let's all stop now."
Alonzo also urged those spreading hateful messages and are fighting online about the Miss Universe pageant and its contestants to stop now.
Her message comes after she landed in New York to start her duties as Miss Universe for the next year.
It also comes after Steve Harvey, the man who famously gave the Miss Universe crown to the wrong contestant, sent a bizarre holiday message to followers, saying "Merry Easter, y'all!" ran the caption to a picture of smiling Harvey, smoking a cigar and flashing a peace sign.(ANI)

About us
What is AGM?
The Annual General Meeting, also known as the AGM, is the main decision-making body of ESN International.
What is ESN?
Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is the biggest international student association in Europe.
About Berlin
The AGM 2017 will welcome participants from all over Europe in one of its most stimulating, creative and cultural centres: Berlin.
Amoruth Shankar
Head of OC
I have been involved in ESN since 2013. I have been involved from the local level to National Board in the network and tried to improve student mobility. AGM Germany is the biggest project of ESN and hosting this event in Germany would give the students in Germany the passion for mobility we all share.
Lukas Iwan
Head of OC
I have been volunteering in ESN for several years. I have organised the national event of ESN Germany as Head of OC twice. After my National Board mandate as President of ESN Germany, #myESNcareer was not over yet and joined my fellow former NB members to run for AGM 2017 OC.
Isabell Guttenberger
Accommodation & Venue
My ESN journey began in 2014, right with the start of my studies. It didn't take me long to realise that it is all about heartwarming and welcoming people, who just think the same at some point. It is also about the events, leaving them inspired and motivated. And exactly this is the feeling which I want to create at AGM 2017!
Malina Scheuer
Social Events & Catering
I joined ESN not even one year ago. My ESN career started in Innsbruck and when I moved to Nantes for my Erasmus, I joined their local board as communication manager. On my first National Platform in France, I heard about the AGM Germany and knew right away that I wanted to join the OC because I love that we all have the same international spirit and AGM is the platform where we connect, share our experiences and inspire each other.
Massimiliano Pacera
I joined ESN after my Erasmus in Barcelona and since then I was involved on the local and national level organising many ESN events. After two mandates as Partnership Manager of ESN Germany and experience organising ESN events. I take the opportunity to face the biggest challenge of #myESNcareer.
Rémi Dupuy
I have been involved in ESN France local and National Board. Joining AGM Germany's organisation team is an amazing adventure that is worth living, as well as a huge challenge. Bringing our contribution to a very successful event of this kind is something very special and motivating.
Felix Ebberg
I decided to join ESN right after my Erasmus in Lithuania. From then on it has been a really fast career from the local level to the National Board. After my mandate in the NB I wanted to stay in the network and joining the AGM OC felt just right to achieve another aim to finish someday #myESNcareer.
Simon Schwientek
I joined ESN in 2015 during my Erasmus year in Finland. At the National Platform Helsinki, I realised how big the network is! I became a Local Representative. As the next AGM is in Germany, I have the chance to help organising one of the biggest events in ESN and I can combine my skills with my passion for ESN.
Nicole Karnaus
I am studying Business Administration (Finance & Accounting) and currently I am also working part time for a bank next to my studies. I am in ESN since more than 3 years and I attended many national and international events. I was treasurer in my local board, so I know how to deal with a budget and all the formal things which come along with being in a finance committee.
Thomas Gebken
Logistics & Volunteering
I've been working for ESN for three years now and enjoy both the company of all those motivated young people and the interesting work. Having the AGM in Germany is a very exciting project and a great opportunity to show all our international friends and colleagues that the Germans are not limited to efficiency, but also great hosts! I'm looking forward to welcoming you here!
Joel Jung
Logistics & Volunteering
I joined ESN cologne, less than a year ago, and while my ESN career is rather short, I quickly got involved and was elected to the local board as partnership manager by the end of last year. Having had prior experiences with event management and coordinating people, I found the AGM to be the perfect opportunity to utilize and improve on these skills. I'm looking forward to facing the challenges an event of this scale might hold and am excited to work with the other OC members towards making the AGM Germany an unforgettable experience.

Comet Properties Limited, a wholly owned Ghanaian real estate developer has launched its Initial Public Offer (IPO), to raise GH¢62 million through the sale of 61.8 million shares, at GH¢1.00 per share.
The company secured a provisional approval from the Ghana Stock Exchange in March this year. The share is made up of 54,095,972 new shares to be issued from authorised shares, and 7,727,996 ordinary shares being offered by existing shareholders.
According to the company, the objective is to increase the company's capacity to deliver housing units to the public, retire long term debts, set up and/or expand downstream facilities of the company.
The Managing Director of the GSE, Mr Kofi S. Yamoah, said Comet shares came on the back of the automated systems embarked upon by management, making it the first company to be listed on the automated platform of the Ghana stock Exchange.
He explained that with the new platform shareholders would receive information on their shares via e-mail and text messages, unlike the initial paper certificates which were issued to shareholders.
The Executive Chairman of Comet Properties, Nana Odeneho Kyeremateng also emphasised that the provision of housing facilities for the citizens of the country could be used as the fulcrum of national development stating that real estate is the way forward for us.
He, however, assured of the company's commitment to ensuring high standards in property business.

Dahlia MacKammon desperately needed a job. She'd already tried her luck at the pharmacy, the Laundromat, Miller's meat market, Hennessey's Pub, and the 7-11. She'd even filled out an application at the foundry, in the dim hope that they might have an opening in their office. But none of these places were currently hiring. The only business in Monotoning she hadn't tried yet was the old Hotel.
At four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, she opened the side door and boldly entered the bar room, without being invited. She was surprised to find that the bar was empty, except for Goody Carlisle, the proprietor, who sat on his favorite stool, at one corner of the long, horseshoe-shaped bar, scanning that morning's edition of the Morning Ledger. An old china cup, with a hair-line crack running down one side, sat on a chipped saucer, an inch away from Goody's fat, left hand. On the stubby pinky of that hand, he wore a ruby ring. While he perused the paper, he continuously tapped the ring against the rounded edge of the bar, an annoying and irritating habit of which he was obviously unaware.
Goody Carlisle may have been, as many said, the richest man in the Valley and in that part of the state, but Dahlia was not at all impressed by her first glimpse of the man. Her nostrils flared in silent contempt at the sight of his short, greasy, black hair and bulging, beer keg-like belly. Goody's wrinkled, blue sport jacket and soiled, white shirt looked like he'd slept in them. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone and his broad, blue tie hung like an ioen noose around his thick, red neck. A miniature American flag decal was affixed to the right lapel of his jacket, a silver Jesus Saves pin to the other. Dahlia quickly stifled a desire to laugh out loud. Who was he trying to kid?
Goody didn't move or speak for what seemed to Dahlia like an interminable amount of time. Just as she was about to turn and walk back out the door, Goody suddenly stopped tapping his ring on the edge of the bar. He closed and folded his paper, and placed it next to him, on the bar.
Slowly, like a big, dumb animal, he turned his head, scrutinizing her coolly, with his small, dark eyes. "You want a cup of coffee?" he asked her.
Dahlia was so surprised by his question that it took her several seconds to respond. "Sure."
"Have a seat."
Goody groaned as he hoisted his cumbersome body from his stool and waddled behind the bar. He set a china cup and saucer in front of her. This cup, Dahlia was happy to see, did not have a hairline crack running down one side and the saucer wasn't chipped. He poured her some coffee from a steaming carafe.
Goody returned to his stool. He watched her take a small, tentative sip of her coffee. Then he said, "So, what else can I do for you?"
"I need a job," she said, looking him straight in the eye. "I don't care what it is. I'll do anything."
"Sorry. I'm not looking for anybody new, right now."
Her nostrils twitching, Dahlia made as if to rise from her stool.
"No, sit," Goody told her. "Finish your coffee. I hate to see good things go to waste."
Dahlia could feel Goody's eyes focused on her, as she reluctantly took another slow sip of her scalding coffee.
"I know you," Goody said. "Your name's Dahlia MacKammon. You live with that no-account cousin of your's---what's his name?"
"Cole," an unbelieving Dahlia heard herself reply.
"Cole." Goody snapped his fingers. "That's the one. You two rent one of those crummy rat-traps, above Hennessey's Pub. You and Cole are actually first cousins. But you go around telling everyone you're man and wife. You did have a husband, once---still do, as far as I know. You never did get a divorce, did you? You had a husbant, a nice home, a beautiful, little boy. But your hubby beat you and you didn't like that. You waited until he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident, last year. And then you ran straight into the consoling arms of your no-good cousin."
Goody saw the shocked, uncomfortable expression in Dahlia's eyes. He smiled a smug, superior smile.
"Hey, this Monotoning," he said, with a slight shrug of his broad, sloping shoulders. "If there's only one thing I've learned in thirty years of living here, it's this. You keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open, and sooner or later, you'll see and hear everything in a small town worth seeing and hearing. Besides, I own a bar, as you can plainly see. The people who come in here talk alot. And I'm a real good listener. I like people---up to a point.
"You just got out of the Boone County Correctional Facility," Goody went on in his brusque, matter-of-fact voice, "where you served nine months. You let Cole fill you up with beer, one night, at Hennessey's Pub. Then you and he,in your car, followed an old prison buddy of Cole's, in his car, down to the warden's house, next to the prison, in Boone County. You sat in your car and acted as a lookout, while Cole and his buddy broke into the warden's home and stole a collection of antique pistols and rifles, and some other valuable items, which they tossed in the trunk of your car.
"Then Cole hopped in his buddy's car and they tore out of there, leaving you to get home as best you could. Only you were drunk and stoned and didn't know your way around that neck of the woods very well. The next thing you knew, you were stranded on a dead-end road and a state cop was shining a flashlight in your eyes, and asking for your keys, so he could look in your trunk.
"They offered to let you go if you'd tell them who really robber the warden's house," Goody said. "But you refused to rat out your precious Cole and his buddy. Cole and his buddy got away clean. The police arrested you for possession of stolen goods and for being an accessory to a crime. Like I said before, you spent the last nine months in the Boone County jail. And while you were in there, your precious Cole spent his nights in Hennessey's Pub and in here, bumming beers and cigarettes, and whateve money he could get his slippery hands on. I finally got sick and tired of it and told him to get ouf of here and never come back, or I'd call the cops on him.
"Cole hasn't worked a single day in all the time you've been away. He's three months behind on the rent. They're threatening to cut off your cable and electric, and your phone service, any day, now. And unless I miss my guess, someone from the burrough's already come around to shut off your water. And now, you're scurrying around town like a starving rat, trying to find a job, while he sits at home, on his fat, lazy can, all day, and drinks beer and smokes cigareets, and watches kiddie cartoons on television...You're not gay, are you?"
"No," Dahlia replied slowly, startled by his abrupt and unexpected change in topics."
"Now, I don't care if you are a lesbian," Goody said. "Your sexual preferene is certainly no business of mine. I have this kid who works for me. His name is Gino. He does my books. He's gay and it doesn't seem to affect his work one bit. Do you do drugs?"
"No," Dahlia huffed indignantly.
"And I don't care if you do drugs, either. As long as you do them on your own time and far away from here. If I ever catch you doing them in the ladies' room, or in your car, out in the parking lot, or trying to sell them to anyone of my customers, I'll call the cops so fast it'll make your head spin. Unless, of course, you give me a cut." He smiled a sly, cunning smile.
Goody folded his plump hands prayerfully on the bar. He bowed his head and took a long, deep breath. Then he turned his head and looked at Dahlia, again.
"Here's the deal," he said. "Right now, I have two openings. I need someone to work behind the bar from nine until five. And I need someone in the kitchen from six 'til closing. Which one of those positions would you be interested in?"
"I'll take 'em both," Dahlia said.
"Then get behind that bar and start washing glasses,'" Goody said. "The after-work crowd should start trickling in here any second, now. If you have any problems, just call Lenny. He's back in the kitchen. Right now, I have to drive over to the courthouse, in Ellentown, and see if I can bail my worthless nephew out of jail. The kid has a nasty habit of trying to burn things down."

We compared stomatal ammonia compensation point (χs) and its metabolic regulation in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves of a quick-leaf-senescence phenotype ZY90 and a slow-leaf-senescence phenotype NC89. Compared with NC89, ZY90 had significantly higher χs values between 40 and 60 d after leaf sprouting in spite of its lower nitrogen content. During the same time, a steeper decline in glutamine synthetase activity was detected in ZY90 leaves, simultaneously with a steep increase in χs. These results suggested that the quick leaf senescence phenotype exhibited high NH3 emission potential due to efficient nitrogen recycling and remobilization, and glutamine synthetase played a key role in regulating χs in ZY90.

In Focus: TARP Financial Bailout Includes Critical First Step Toward Energy Independence
Dec/Jan 09
These tax credits were designed to create momentum for some of the companies already working on renewable energy technologies, expand the solar energy marketplace and enable more to participate in this growth industry - thereby creating hundreds of thousands of jobs - and narrowing the cost gap for solar power to compete with coal-produced electricity. According to the solar industry, this forward-thinking package should produce some 440,000 jobs and more than $230 billion in investments.
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 includes an eight-year extension through 2016 of investment credits for solar energy, as well as breaks for wind, geothermal, and other alternative energy sources. It also provides businesses a 30 percent tax credit to offset the development costs of solar and other clean energy projects.
Other highlights of the package:
• Authorizes $800 million of new clean renewable energy bonds to finance facilities that generate electricity from wind, closed-loop biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal, small irrigation, qualified hydropower, landfill gas, marine renewable, and trash combustion facilities
• Provides tax credits for retrofitting existing structures to make them more energy efficient
• Provides $1.5 billion in new tax credits for the creation of advanced coal electricity projects
• Establishes a new tax credit for plug-in electric drive vehicles
• Allows an employer to provide employees who commute to work by bicycle limited fringe benefits to offset the costs of traditional commuting
• Eliminates the $2,000 monetary cap for residential solar electric installations, creating a true 30 percent tax credit
In addition to the direct benefits of both lower prices for solar power and tax credits for using the solar power, the current payback periods between 10 to 15 years will most likely drop to just seven years in places like California where additional rebates and incentives are already offered.
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 is a major first step in our nation's move towards energy independence by making clean, carbon-free energy options - powered by the sun, wind and waves - more accessible and affordable to millions of businesses, families, and communities.
President-elect Barack Obama has promised to ensure that 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012 and 25 percent by 2025. This important bill could offset a potential need 10 to 20 years down the road for an environmental bailout package. In addition, with a committed government dedicated to helping our country reach energy independence, this bill will serve as a critical stepping off point for reaching that overall goal.

One part Latin, two parts Jazz. Throw in a little Soul, and you've got Brian Villegas. Throughout his career, this vocalist has steadfastly carved his niche into the New York jazz landscape, regularly performing in some of the city's most renowned venues. As a studio music and jazz vocal performance major at the University of Miami, he discovered the freedom that jazz would give him as a singer – and fast fell in love with the music that would lead him down life's swingin' path. It's a path that would lead him to the stage to sing with greats such as Bobby McFerrin, Jon Hendricks, Mark Murphy, Kevin Mahogany, Bob Dorough and Darmon Meadar, to name a few. He starred in a national tour of the award-winning, "Our Sinatra" and has performed at renowned music venues such as the world-famous Birdland, Swing 46, Lincoln Center's Mid-Summer Night's Swing Series, The Blue Note, and The Rainbow Room, as a featured soloist. His voice has also taken him abroad to venues throughout Latin America. Brian's rich family heritage – he's a first-generation American born to parents of Central American descent – has nurtured a love for Latin music and its influences and it resonates in his sound.

Orange County, FL - In an effort to find more forever homes for homeless animals this summer, shelters from Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties entered into their first adoption challenge. Summer months are peak breading seasons often leaving shelters at maximum capacity or over capacity. In addition to dedicated rescues accepting animals into foster and permanent homes, Central Florida shelters are expanding efforts to find four-legged friends new loving families. At the end of the summer season, the tri-county area shelters will compare adoption percentages from the previous year to 2016, and name the victor. Even with months to go, the friendly rivalry has begun. While final percentages will ultimately award victory, all agree the true winners will be the homeless animals and their new families.
In an effort to extend the challenge beyond Central Florida, Orange County released a video challenge to their colleagues in Palm Beach County, asking them to also increase their pet adoptions this summer.
On any given day, Orange County Animal Services, the largest of the three shelters, reports that on average as many as 50 animals are surrendered or rescued by animal service officers. During the summer, those numbers can double. The Summer Adoption Challenge will offer adoption promotions and educational outreach. Adoption fees at the shelters will be reduced by 50 percent and personnel will be encouraging spay and neuter programs.

Interviews by Connie Scoles West
Q&A with Connie West on
Examining Similarities & Differences
Connie West has four decades of experience in education, from teaching gifted children to working on school improvement. Now, as an education coach, she travels the US and Australia helping schools put theory into practice. West's first book, Examining Similarities & Differences, explores what she says is "so basic to human learning." Because teaching content by using metaphors, analogies, and classifications can be challenging—even for the best teachers—West provides solid and relatable strategies and tools to make it easier. Here she discusses highlights from her book.
Your book instructs teachers on how to help students with comparing and classifying information and how to understand metaphors and analogies. Many students dislike analogies because they find it difficult to understand the relationship between the objects or ideas. Can the techniques in your book help teachers instruct students on how to think differently in order to find the similarities and differences?
It seems that comparing and classifying is the first level, and understanding metaphors and analogies is a step above. Is that correct?
You could think of it that way. Analogies are a more complex way of thinking about similarities and differences. You can certainly create classification activities that are complex, but generally comparing and classifying is easier than creating a metaphor or an analogy. In either case, the first thing a student has to be able to do is to understand the attributes of a topic. If you say, "A paragraph is like a hamburger," you've got to know something about paragraphs and something about hamburgers to list the attributes.
You wrote that sometimes a teacher fails to take into account students' background knowledge and working memory capacities by asking them to compare too many things using too many comparison criteria. How do you assess a student's working memory capabilities? Is it based on age?
You have to know your students. A teacher has to be an expert at building content matter as well as pedagogy. Expertise in pedagogy is when a teacher knows that a second-grade student cannot hold in their memory more than two different criteria for two different things, whereas an eighth-grade student could perhaps hold three or four items to compare on three or four criteria. It's basically experience with the age level and the individual student.
What are a few ways that teachers can monitor if a student is genuinely understanding how to compare and contrast content?
Many techniques and activities in this book involve a written end-product—either a graphic organizer, diagram, paragraph, or drawing. It takes close examination of the actual written work through a lens of predetermined goals students are expected to meet. Teachers need to listen to students' train of thought during discussions and prompt them to have focused discourse. Students need to work in pairs or in groups so the teacher can go around and listen to their thoughts, guide the process, and encourage them to go deeper.
Another way to monitor is to ask the students at the end, "Why do we care?" They need to be able to say what they noticed and be able to generalize. You don't want to spoon-feed them, but you don't want them to flail about trying to find the answers.
Which of the six techniques are most useful with ESL students or those who struggle with reading at their grade level?
All of the techniques are good, but I think the sentence stems are particularly good for ESL students. Using sentence stems gives students a jump-start. For example, if you're teaching about animals, you may say, "Reptiles are different from amphibians because …" instead of saying, "Compare reptiles and amphibians." Give them the stem sentences to get them started on their thinking.
Classifying is also a good technique with ESL students because that can be done visually. You can do a lot of sorting with words and pictures.
These techniques sound great for group learning. One student may find completely different ways to compare two objects than another student, and then you have a broader discussion. Do you agree?
Yes, I do. The research clearly shows students learn better when they are interacting with at least one other student. There are a lot of things students see that are nuanced. It's beneficial when they have to articulate and defend their own thinking and listen to someone else's view. This gets especially interesting when you get into open-ended pieces. You could say, "Martin Luther King is to the Civil Rights Movement as X was to Y. When one student responds correctly, "as Susan B. Anthony was to the women's movement," or another responds incorrectly, as "Scientists are to climate change," we prompt students to ask, "Is that a straight analogy or not? Is it accurate? Is it effective? Does it help us gain insight about the new relationship?" So the discussion becomes important as students learn to challenge and defend their analogies. This can work even with young students. You could do something like, "An elephant is to mammal as X is to Y.
What is an affinity diagram? And can it be used in all grade levels?
An affinity diagram is a way of organizing a large number of ideas into natural categories, which is useful when students are likely to have a lot of ideas or responses to a question. For instance, if students are studying economic wants and needs, the teacher can ask everybody to think of things they want or need. Students write as many answers as they can think of, one idea per sticky note. These ideas come from their own thinking or background knowledge, or even from their reading. Then the teacher starts posting the stickies on the wall, asking a couple of students to arrange them in like groups. It's a great classification exercise because it's organic and it picks the brains of the students. The end of the activity should focus on what the students notice about wants versus needs—comparing and contrasting them.
Have you been coaching teachers on this content already? What results are you seeing in their classrooms?
Yes, teachers seem to readily accept coaching on these techniques. These activities and ideas came from classrooms. That's what so great about this strategy. It's familiar. Teachers have always asked students make diagrams and charts, but this really gets them to look at the content in a deeper way. I tell teachers to look at the topic they're teaching next month and identify some of the big concepts they want their students to understand. Then the teachers should choose a technique that helps students understand the content. Once you present it like that, it becomes easier for people to think up ideas.

I am already thinking about how I can structure some of my lessons around the explanations and examples in Examining Similarities & Differences to deepen my students' understanding of a concept.
The graphic organizers in Examining Similarities & Differences were very helpful, and I like that the author visits potential roadblocks at the end of each chapter. As a reading specialist, I could easily see myself incorporating the presented ideas into content lessons.
