The apartment is very nice and well equipped. the location is pleasantly quiet. disturbed has given us the defective lighting in the living room and the loud hum of the fuse box. a heater in the bathroom would be for the cooler season from advantage.

Fiona Bruce, the implacably serene television presenter, is cross. "I was incensed by this ludicrous catch-22 situation," she tells me, still audibly enraged by an encounter with French officialdom during the making of Fake or Fortune?, her new series which traces the identity of disputed masterpieces.
In the first of four episodes, she and her co-presenter, the art expert Philip Mould, attempt to prove that a painting owned and adored by a retired British man is a genuine Monet. David Joel bought it for £40,000 at an auction and spent 18 years struggling to prove that the distinctive, florid signature in the bottom right corner was no forgery. To help him finally achieve his aim, Bruce and Mould took the canvas to Paris, to unravel its origins. They ran into trouble when trying to return the painting – as yet unauthenticated – to Britain.
"French customs impounded it. In the end, they wanted us to prove that it wasn't a Monet – but in customs they can't make that judgment. How are they going to decide when the Musée d'Orsay and the Wildensteins [the institute responsible for authenticating all Monets] can't decide? And then this customs official didn't show up, and that sent me into a fresh fury."
The 47 year-old is indeed on magnificently furious form berating the officials in fluent French (she studied languages at Hertford College, Oxford). As her friend and presenting colleague, the dapper Mr Mould, puts it, she is a useful weapon to point at "any irascible service provider. She uses the same voice as she would for an earthquake in Iceland and everyone obeys."
Bruce, a stalwart BBC presenter with programmes including Ten O'Clock News and Crimewatch under her shiny belt, has worked with Mould before on Antiques Roadshow, on which he features as a guest valuer. In this new series, the two of them fall easily into two neatly defined roles: she is the energetic newshound, prone to saying "gosh" a lot; he the suave sleuth, decoding the abstruse world of the old masters. Together, they attempt to trace whether a number of paintings are fakes or worth a "fortune" – a Monet authentication, for example, would raise the value of David Joel's swirly image of the banks of the Seine to £10 million, or even far more.
"It took a while for me to get my head round it. I'm used to dealing with facts, not grey areas," says Bruce, referring to the subjective and varying nature of valuations. Even when armed with apparently solid evidence, it can be hard to convince some of the cliques of the art world to change their minds about a painting. The two of them do their best, however: they hunt down the history of individual canvases, from an Irish rubbish tip to a gallery in Cairo, as well as applying high-tech identification methods which include X-rays and dating the age of the wood in the frame.
Mould, who owns a gallery in Mayfair and once bought a Gainsborough on eBay for £120, clearly relishes the thrill of the chase. "I don't think I'll ever tire of it," says the 51 year-old, who collected 18th-century shoe buckles as a teenager. "Pictures are like crime scenes, what you're trying to do is to get at the DNA and work out whodunit." The proudest discovery of his career, he says, was when he unearthed a Van Dyck, which had been mis-labelled at auction. "It was covered with tobacco smoke, its appearance was so subdued, so eclipsed, it had disappeared… It was almost like a religious experience seeing it cleaned from the filth of history."
Despite his expertise – which earned him an OBE in 2005 – he is not infallible. He recalls being duped when he bought "on screen" (i.e., by computer, without seeing the original) what he thought was a painting of Richard III, but which transpired to be "a photo that had been varnished over". Fake or Fortune? will investigate potential fraudulence on a more grandiose scale, including trying to shed new light on the mystery of a painting hanging in London's revered Courtauld Institute, which may or may not be the work of a prolific forger.
The series, shown at prime time on Sundays, will also inevitably shed some light on its two presenters. Mould has reason to be wary of publicity, after a rival gallery owner, Mark Weiss, tried to smear his reputation in a feud which made national headlines. Weiss spread false rumours that Mould was in financial difficulties; he also informed the press that Mould had been having an affair (he and his wife are now back together). Mould is, however, sanguine about the experience. "Whenever you put your head above the parapet, there's the danger of people trying to knock it off," he says.
As for Bruce, she cites the one regret of her career in the limelight as appearing on the reality TV singing contest, Just the Two of Us, for the BBC in 2006. In a recent interview, she also conceded that it had been "ridiculous and hypocritical" of her, as a lifelong feminist, to accept the Rear of the Year award in 2010. Ever the media professional, she deftly skirts the question when I ask if this means she would refuse it on principle in the future. "No," she says, before clarifying: "I won't get offered a Rear of the Year in the future."

Fathers have an enormous impact on their children's food
choices. So I reached out to four experts, dads who are registered
dietitian nutritionists, to find out how they do it.
"I make them think twice about how much they are eating;
asking if they are eating because they are hungry or bored and
making sure they get in as many fruits and veggies as possible,"
says David Grotto, RDN, author of
The Best Things You Can Eat and the father of
three teen girls.
Rick Hall, MS, RDN, senior lecturer of nutrition at
Arizona State University and the father of three elementary
school-aged children, focuses on moderation and variety. "We never
force them to eat foods they don't want to."
"They have to try everything and if they don't like it, it's
called a `no thank you' bite. They eat what we're eating. We're not
short order cooks," says Chris Mohr, PhD, RDN of MohrResults.com and the
father of a preschooler and a toddler.
D. Milton Stokes, PhD, MPH, RDN, assistant professor of
Nutrition at University of Saint Joseph in Connecticut, had to
learn to tolerate messiness as a father of two toddlers. "It's
especially true for meal times, and that's fine because kids need
to feel food, play with food and spit out food."
With everyone's schedules, eating together as a family
every day is very hard to accomplish, Grotto says.
"We find that we enjoy the eating experience much more
when we can eat together and often have our most deep and
meaningful conversations at that time."
Hall's family eats together at least once a day. "Meal
time is an opportunity to sit as a family with no
"We do not allow books or computer devices at the table.
Meal time is an opportunity to connect."
Stokes likes to offer a snack while putting the main
dinner together.
"For pre-dinner snacks, my daughter's really into diced
pears and baby carrots. My son is into kiwifruit."

UConn's Schulmann is Women's Player of the Week
Soccer News Net Women's College Player of the Week Danielle Schulmann had four goals and three assists in two games last week.
photo courtesy UConn Sports Information
UConn senior forward Danielle Schulmann has been selected as the Soccer News Net Womenĺs College Player of the Week for the week ending September 9.
Schulmann had a hand in all four UConn goals on Sunday, scoring three and assisting on the other to lead the Huskies to a 4-1 win over Central Connecticut. On Wednesday, the Saddle River, NJ native had a goal and two assists against Marist.
In Wednesday's 3-1 win over Marist, Schulman opened UConn's scoring in the 21st minute, shooting the ball from close range on the right side of the box after snagging a deflected pass to give the Huskies a 1-0 advantage.
It didnĺt take long for Schulmann to create another scoring opportunity for Connecticut as she chipped the ball over Marist defenders up field to a waiting Riley Houle, who rifled the ball by Marist keeper Andrea Wicks to push the UConn lead to 2-0 in the 23rd minute. She also assisted on Stephanie Ribeiro's coal in the 77th minute.
Sunday's performance was spectacular.
Schulmann scored her first goal of the game in the seventh minute, drawing CCSU keeper Nikola Dieter out and sailing the ball into the open net.
Connecticutĺs second goal came in the 11th minute, when Schulmann crossed the ball from the right side and junior midfielder Jennifer Skogerboe headed it into the left corner of the net.
Schulmann, registering a point in her third consecutive game, added two more goals in the second half to set the final score at 4-1. Her third goal came in the 64th minute, with freshmen Stephanie Ribeiro registering her third assist of the year. The final goal, in the 77th minute, was unassisted when Schulmann grabbed a deflected ball and drilled it into the goal.

I dined at Rus-Uz this weekend with a group of 10. Four of us shared several dishes (3 appetizers and 3 entrees) and were not disappointed in any of them. The stroganoff is not the stroganoff you usually get at American restaurants, and is much better. We tried the plov just because it sounded interesting and again loved it. Portions are not overwhelming but definitely on the large side (a bit more than one can comfortably eat).
As of the time I'm writing this review they don't yet have their liquor license, but they're applying for it. They have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages -- I had the homemade apricot juice (with peach and cherries, I think) and it was delicious, not the sickeningly sweet juice you get at a lot of places.
Save room for dessert, if you can. The dessert portions are also not small but oh so worth it.
Our waiter was wonderful. He kept the water refilled before we asked for refills, and really knew the menu (he was able to tell us they were out of a couple things before he placed our order). He brought the food out in stages, partially because of the size of our group, but nobody was kept waiting more than a couple minutes.
I'll definitely be back for more.

A triathlon with a twist is on tap at Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Burr Ridge on Saturday, September 24th.
The event, open to the public and accommodating a variety of skill and age levels to embrace a wide spectrum of participants, is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the club, 6901 S. Madison. It will be a row-bike-run sequence, with the row supplanting the portion traditionally allocated to swimming.
Participants will simulate rowing via one of several row machines inside the club's state-of-the-art fitness center, said Five Seasons Director of Fitness Morgan Fox.
"We wanted to create an outlet that is a little different than the average novelty 5K," Fox said. "We will have both men's and women's divisions along with scaled divisions for kids, and anyone newer to racing that needs shorter distances."
The longest adult distances call for a 5,000-meter (5K) run, a 12-mile bike and a 3,000-meter (3K) row, while the all-ages children's division will consist of a one-mile run/walk, a two-mile bike, and a 250-meter row.
Anyone who signs up before September 15th will receive a T-shirt commemorating the event. The fee is $20 for members, and $25 for others.
For more information, please contact Chaz Baggio at 630-570-5430.

Using Content Marketing to Expand Market Presence
Joe Pulizzi a leading author, speaker and strategist says, "content marketing today is an amazing opportunity for small and large businesses because the barriers to entry that once existed (technology, talent, databases and content acceptance) are now gone."
Over the past few weeks I have partnered with Crissy Nolen our Director of Marketing to educate my colleagues in the Houston of Colliers International about using Social Media tools in their business. Much of the discussion has centered on the specifics of using the various social media platforms.
I wanted to show my colleagues just how many people you can reach with these various tools, so I aggregated a few metrics from my personal experience. While I didn't originally plan to post these statistics, the concepts and tools I often speak about can be utilized by most any business and since many of my clients and colleagues read this blog, I wanted to share the information.
I think that you will agree that social media can be a powerful distribution channel but without effective content your social media efforts will produce little return. I should note that I define return as developing new business and retaining existing clients by providing additional value. I don't aspire to be a "Social Media Rockstar" but rather a "CRE Rockstar."
While my Blog is no Huffington Post nor never will be, last month was a record month for the Tenant Advisor in terms of traffic with over 6,500 people visiting this site and almost 12,000 page views. So how are people finding me on-line? The answer is on-line search and social media channels.
Do I Need to Do This?
Your clients and prospects are increasingly on-line, they are reading blogs, searching YouTube, connecting on LinkedIn, tweeting and logging into Facebook. We are all going to continue to do business offline, but Social Media is becoming an increasingly important distribution channel to deliver high-quality, relevant and valuable information that can enhance your ability to create new business and brand loyalty.
There is going to continue to be many extraordinarily successful business professionals who never start a blog or send a tweet, but I believe social media is going to continue to help me land a handful of high quality clients and keep the ones I already have.

Are you going to the party? The BEAtwittyparty hosted by the lovely Rebecca at The Book Lady's Blog?
Well, since every party needs music, I figure I'll trot out my mad songwriting skillz and pen a song especially for the occasion. I know, I know...you're wondering what you did to deserve such an honor.
Except, you know me...I'm pretty much incapable of creating anything original. So this is where you come in.
Inspire me.
Give me the name of a song you'd like to see
parodied butchered rewritten in honor of BEA and our BEAtwittyparty. If I choose your song, I promise you equal billing (in either the fame or the lawsuit) and a small token of my affection.
So...name your tune!

Other OSRAM Websites
Group Website
Let there be light
Professor Lutz FügenerLutz Fügener, Professor for Transportation Design at Pforzheim University, is a leading German expert in the field of automotive design.
The headlamps of the BMW i8 and the new BMW 7 Series are standout features thanks to the latest laser technology from OSRAM. Lutz Fügener, Professor for Transportation Design at Pforzheim University, believes that innovative lighting technology will have more and more of an impact on car design as time goes on. In the following interview he talks about lighting trends and using lights for communication.
Is it just a passing fad that headlamps need to look good as well as providing sufficient illumination?
Not at all. Even in the days when the car itself was no longer an unusual sight, it still needed to have visual appeal. That was around 100 years ago. In the luxury market, in particular, a lot of effort has always gone into the design of the headlamps.
What technologies have been tried out over the years?
In the early days people used the technology of the time, which was kerosene light. Since the turn of the 20th century, there has also been electric light; and since the 1960s, halogen lights. At the beginning of the 21st century we began using LED technology—and recently also laser technology. More and more time, energy and money is being invested in the development of headlamps. Headlamps in particular, and lighting technology in general, have never been as important as today.
Why is that?
It's partly due to cultural reasons. In the 1980s, most cars still looked quite neutral. It's different today. Cars can look cute, but they're also allowed to look aggressive – the kind of car you'd want to make way for. In both cases the shape of the headlamps plays an important role.
They give cars a 'face', a piercing expression, a kind of brand signature. But, of course, new technologies are also opening up new dimensions in design. This is being driven by developments in LEDs and lasers.
LEDs have eliminated the paradigm of a light emanating from a single source. Traditionally, light always came from the glowing wire of the bulb. New technologies at their current stage of development are already making it possible to produce light across a surface area and thus to create patterns and designs. These are already widely used in daytime running lights, tail-lamps and brake lights. In tail-lamps, for example, the manufacturers are utilizing the properties of LEDs and OLEDs to emphasize the car's branding by means of a particular design. Headlamps, however, which need to direct their light toward specific targets, need to have optical systems made up of lenses positioned in front of the light sources. This involves a much greater degree of technical complexity. The more advanced these new technologies become, the more it will be possible to harness their properties for design.
Note: To add/edit Video ID, please navigate through the Advanced Editing visible in the ribbon at the top.
The BMW i8 and Audi R8 LMX were the world's first production vehicles to be fitted with laser headlamps. In 2015 they were followed by the new BMW 7 Series. For the Laser Lights in Cars project, OSRAM and the BMW Group were even nominated for the 2016 Deutscher Zukunftspreis, the German President's Award for Innovation in Science and Technology. What does a design professor have to say about the styling of headlamps?
In the BMW 7 Series, the use of modern laser technology gives the complex headlamp element a clean, focused look. This premium aesthetic is the product of the precision technical components, the clear separation into functional units, and the systematic use of the design scope provided by the technology at this stage in its development. The transparent elements that are suspended in the headlamp are reminiscent of high-quality cut crystal but without the nostalgic effect.
Has the potential of laser technology already been exhausted?
Absolutely not. Generally speaking, laser technology offers a clear improvement in functionality. And it opens up whole new possibilities in terms of styling. I'm fascinated by the interaction between technological innovation and design. This is the pattern that we usually observe: a new technology is built into an older form. Only some time later do people recognize that this new technology also allows for a new design. And that's exactly what's happening now. Laser technology is allowing headlamps to become a lot smaller, for example. It might also be possible that the headlamps of the future will have a different shape and throw light onto the road from only a thin slit. In any case, there is a lot happening in the field of light technology right now.
For example?
Using state-of-the-art lighting concepts it is possible to customize the interior of a vehicle to the needs and preferences of the individual driver and to create a whole new sensation of space. In any case, light as a whole will become increasingly important because of autonomous driving, which will undoubtedly soon become reality.
Why is that?
In the self-driving car, the interior will become a kind of living room. And so people will have entirely different expectations of it, including with regard to the lighting. At the same time, self-driving cars will also require new functions in the exterior design. For example, cars that don't have a driver will need to communicate with pedestrians, for example to let them know they have been recognized by the car and that the car is responding. This communication could be performed using light. We don't yet know what this will look like exactly. Perhaps a smiley face on the radiator grille, perhaps a much more elegant symbol. One thing is certain: We can expect to see many more exciting innovations in the field of light design.
The foundations for the main-beam laser headlamps in the BMW i8 and BMW 7 Series were laid by years of work at OSRAM's research laboratories. Blue laser diodes with a sufficiently high output have been available for some time now. But white light is needed for applications in cars. The experts at OSRAM therefore developed a module in which the laser beams hit a converter that turns blue light into white light. Laser light is far superior to conventional LED light in terms of luminance. This enables the use of small optical components that have a high output, with the main-beam lights in the two BMW models reaching up to 600 meters.

Interview with Justin Colletti
What are you working on at the moment?
Filling out my SoundBetter profile!
Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
Oh, many of them, I'm sure! I'll have a look around.
Analog or digital and why?
Both and because.
What's your 'promise' to your clients?
We are done when you are thrilled. (Fortunately, that usually doesn't take long.) I have an unlimited revisions policy. 95% of the time we don't have to do any. 4% of the time we might do one. 1% of the time... Well, you have a policy for a reason! It almost never gets used. But clients sleep easy knowing it's there.
What do you like most about your job?
Working with people, working with music, and working with audio.
What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
Back in my live sound days, it would have been: "Do you really know what all this buttons do?" and "Yes." Today? It's probably: "That sounds amazing, what did you do?" and "You know: Compression, EQ, Level, Taste. All the normal stuff."
What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
That if you're doing it to your own mix, it makes sense to call that "mastering."
What questions do you ask prospective clients?
What records are you loving the sound and feel of lately?
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Shoot me an email! I'd love to hear from you.
If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
Matches, pointy stick, gaff tape, great speakers, source of power.
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
More than 10 years if we're talking about making a living from it. More than 20 if we count it from the first day I met a cassette 4-track and became obsessed.
Can you share one music production tip?
Too many! Try here: http://justincolletti.com/free-resources-for-musicians-producers-and-audio-engineers/
What's your strongest skill?
Making your records sound like you meant for them to sound. Only better.
What do you bring to a song?
Relentless optimism, determination, and taste.
Tell us about your studio setup.
Working out of JLM studios and loving it. Best room on earth.
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
Anyone with an interesting sense of rhythm and a distinct personality.
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
Mastering, mastering and more mastering. (Also some writing and editing.)

Republic of Crimea (also known as Crimean ASSR or just Crimea) is the name of a political entity located in Europe. Crimea was annexed by Russia on March 4, 2014 and saw itself become a republic on March 20, 2014 with Sergey Aksyonov as its leader. Aksyonov holds little or no power
Russian History
On March 2, 2014, Russia sent troops to Crimea, which resulted in the decision by the Supreme Council governing the region to declare a referendum to determine its future. Crimeans Ultimately voted to Join Russia as thousands celebrated, while many tried to engage the Green Men in conflict. The Battle failed and the Crimean Government-In-Exile fled to Ukraine
New Life
Crimeans found themselves controlled predominately by the Russian SFSR, despite its autonomy. Civil Unrest and protests led to engagements between police and the people.
In September, The Belarus Accords formally recognized the annexation of Crimea and Ukraine was forced to relinquish their claim over the land. Many Tartars fled the country and moved to Poland and the Ukraine creating a large refugee crisis.
Crimea would receive aid from Russia and even began working on an actual bridge connecting Mainland Russia with the Island.
In December Crimeans officially hoisted the Russian Flag alongside their new "Hammer and Sickle" Flag for the first time. Crimeans celebrated with a Russian Military Parade and saw a massive display of pride for their new identity.
In March 2014 Crimean GDP was estimated at $4.3 billion or 0.2% of Russia based on current prices and 0.5% based on purchasing power parity. The Russian ruble became an official currency in Crimea on March 21, 2014. Until June 1, 2014, the Ukrainian hryvnia could also be used for cash payments only. At first it was planned that the Ukrainian hryvnia could be used until January 1, 2016.
Starting in the summer of 2014 Crimea's government nationalized all large Crimean companies and assets. In the case of the Zalyv Shipbuilding yard, Crimean "self-defense" forces stormed the company's headquarters to demand nationalization. Deputy Secretary Sergey Aksyonov claimed that in at least one case "Employees established control of the enterprise on their own, we just helped them a little".
By late October 2014 90% of the heads of Crimean government-owned corporation were arrested on charges of "Anti-Communist Activities" Human rights activists in the region have described the seizures as a violation of the right to free enterprise. In June 2015, Reports surfaced that the Committee for State Security of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic had begun killing high-ranking Crimean Officials to establish control over the country. The Committee's Head made a rare public appearance saying the officials were being investigated and accused of conspiring against the state.
In 2014 about two million tourists holidayed in Crimea, including 300,000 Ukrainians. In 2013 3.5 million Ukrainian and 1.5 million Russian tourists visited Crimea. Tourism is the mainstay of the Crimean economy.

Bryant Homes is pushing to build 1,100 homes on the former Queen Elizabeth Barracks in Sandy Lane, Church Crookham.
But Bob Osborne, representing both Hart and Rushmoor branch of the Council for the Protection of Rural England and the Fleet and Crookham Civic Society, said this was a gross overdevelopment of the site.
Mr Osborne said he fully supported Hart councillor Stephen Parker's decision to ditch development blueprints for a total of 450 more homes in Hitches Lane, Fleet, and Dilly Lane, Hartley Wintney.
But he warned: "However, if Cllr Parker had attended the two public meetings already held to raise objections to the gross overdevelopment plan-ned for the QE barracks, he would be aware he would be on very dangerous ground if he offers the QEB site to developers as a 'sacrificial lamb'.
"While accepting that some development has to come on the QEB site, 1,100 houses are completely out of the question.
"Even 400-plus would be excessive on ecological, air safety, traffic, policing, medical, drainage and many other grounds, as Cllr Parker well knows from the public comments on the QE Barracks development brief.
"He would be well advised to attend any public meetings planned for the future if he, as a councillor representing the people of Hart, wishes to gauge the depth of feeling against such overdevelopment."
About 500 people packed the Memorial Hall in Sandy Lane, Church Crookham, for a public meeting into the Gurkha minitown in February.
The meeting was organised by mothers Jenny Radley and Soo James, who helped deliver more than 2,000 leaflets in the area warning residents of the controversial plan.
Many warned the development would result in extra traffic on the area's already choked roads, a lack of medical facilities and extra pressure on local schools.
Bryant Homes bought the 193-acre site last September and hopes to build the homes, along with a primary school, community centre, church building, doctor's surgery and supermarket.
If the application is successful, building work is expected to take up to five years.
Campaigners breathed a huge sigh of relief earlier this month when Hart's influential cabinet decided development blueprints should not be drawn up for a 300-home estate planned for fields in Hitches Lane or a 150-home scheme in the countryside at Dilly Lane.
Cllr Parker, Hart's cabinet member for planning, said the council no longer believed the two sites were needed to meet new government building targets as the QE Barracks minitown plan was pro-gressing well.
The news delighted Conservative councillor Mark Fullbrook, who represents Hartley Wintney.
"The cabinet decision is a major victory for local people," he said.
"I am delighted that the council has sent this clear and unambiguous message to developers.
"As things currently stand, the council sees no reason why either Dilly Lane or Hitches Lane should be concreted over.
"The developers would be well advised to go and try to build elsewhere."

Study Abroad Mexico
The Mexico 2017 Spring program is open for applications. Information about and an application to the program can be found through the Office of Study Abroad. Financial assistance may be available. Please download the scholarship application to learn more details and apply.
Contact: Karen Newman, firstname.lastname@example.com
Policy, Practice and Advocacy in Mexico
This is a collaborative project of the MSU School of Social Work and Migrant Student Services, with support from the Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) of Mexico. This faculty-lead Spring semester, short-term study abroad program blends semester-long, on-line course work (SW822/3 credits & SW891/1 credit) with a 9-day study abroad experience. Short-term time abroad with more extensive on-line coursework is designed to optimize student learning opportunities and increase access to study abroad for graduate and non-traditional students. SW822 investigates areas of comparative and applied social policy, practice, and international social work in the context of Mexican social services provision at federal, state, and municipal levels. SW891 course work relates to program, safety, and cultural orientation. Students may pursue an additional 1-2 credit hours of SW891-independent faculty mentored study to support their personal research or practice agendas. (Graduate students only.)
International Engagement in Mexico
This is a short-term intense opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those at the fringes of Mexican society. During Spring Break, students will be active members of a team which will engage with local community members through the provision of needed maintenance and program assistance to Mexican human service agencies. Additionally, students will explore the foundations of local cultures through visiting cultural/historic sites, connecting with community agencies and people, and participating in local special events. Engagement and cultural experiences will be examined in relation to students' roles and impacts as community volunteers through hands-on and reflective program activities. Students will gain an understanding of the intimate relationships among leisure, volunteerism, and civic engagement; community and personal growth; and awareness of some of the cultural characteristics that define US and Mexican societies. Preparation for the program requires participation in four pre-departure classes prior to Spring Break week and two post-program classes after Spring Break. (Most appropriate for undergraduate students.)

So here is the lighthouse. A closer shot of the, well...the lighthouse part. I'm sure there is a proper name for that part but I don't know what.
Update: On Great Grandma. She seems to be doing better. They, the Dr's, decided to shock her heart in hopes that it would make her heart get back into proper rhythm. They did that today and so far so good. Still not sure when she'll be out but at least that's good news instead of the alternative. Thank your for your continued prayers.

The White House said on Friday it would release an intelligence assessment of the apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria, as President Barack Obama faced growing pressure to win support for military action from a war-weary public, skeptical lawmakers and international allies.
The unclassified assessment, expected to be released later on Friday, could give more details about last week's chemical attack that killed hundreds and provide more insight into why administration officials have said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government was responsible.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also will make a public statement at 12:30 p.m. EDT (1630 GMT) on Friday, a government source said, as the administration tries to build a public case for military intervention.
Obama on Friday morning convened a meeting of his national security team, including Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, to discuss Syria, a White House official said.
Obama administration officials said the president was willing to go it alone, if necessary, after the British parliament voted late Thursday against a military strike intended to punish the Syrian government. France said on Friday it still backed action in Syria.
Any military strike appears to be delayed at least until U.N. investigators report back after leaving Syria, and some prominent lawmakers suggested on Thursday after a briefing from the administration that the White House should slow down the rush to action.
The timing is also complicated by Obama's departure for Sweden and a G20 summit in Russia on Tuesday. He was not expected to order the strikes while in Sweden or Russia.
Members of Congress have demanded they be consulted about a possible strike. They do not return to Washington for another week.
Polls show the public is largely opposed to U.S. military action, and after the briefing some lawmakers said they were still not convinced of the need for it. Some questioned whether the Pentagon could afford to attack Syria after spending cuts imposed on the federal government earlier this year.
"I'm opposed to military intervention. We don't have the resources," Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told MSNBC on Friday.
Administration officials are weighing their options on how to proceed, including possible missile strikes. Obama has said he does not want to get drawn into a protracted conflict, but wants to ensure that chemical weapons are not used again.
Rhode Island Democrat Jack Reed, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on MSNBC that the administration should try to avoid unilateral action. He hoped the release of an upcoming U.N. investigators' report would help build public support.
"I think the findings will be very helpful because they'll give an international perspective, one that is factually based, they've been on the ground. They've looked at the evidence. That would help immensely," Reed said.
Reed and other lawmakers said Britain's decision not to participate was significant. The British Parliament rejected military intervention in a 285-272 vote on Thursday, but British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said he did not expect that would stop any action.
The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Eliot Engel, said he was convinced in Thursday's White House briefing of the evidence of a chemical attack and that other countries such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey also understood the threat posed by Syria's Assad.
"I don't think it will be unilateral. I think we will have allies there," he told NBC's "Today" show. Asked who that might be, he said: "I don't know, but there will be others joining."
Former President George W. Bush, who launched the invasion of Iraq in 2003, told Fox News's "Fox and Friends" program that Obama faced a tough decision.
"I was not a fan of Mr. Assad. He's an ally of Iran and he's made mischief," Bush told Fox. "Putting our military in harm's way is the toughest decision a president will make."

Enzo is walking the trails cruising for someone to pleasure him at French Dudes. Kallam is a great cocksucker and gets straight to it. Enzo's got a great big dick, which makes you wonder how it even fits in Kallam's mouth. Enzo gives a little back and gives Kallam a blowjob, then gets his hole all wet with his tongue. He plunges his cock deep and begins thrusting, his balls slapping against Kallam's ass. They move somewhere else to continue, where Kallam gets on all fours and Enzo mounts him. When he's read to blow, he pulls his dick out and blasts all over Kallam's chest.

Having the same job for one's entire career has become much less common over the past quarter-century. Many people switch jobs voluntarily; others, not. Behind this trend are changes in demographics, changes in technology and changes in such institutions as unions and international trade.

SINGAPORE (AP) Even as he launched an anti-doping education campaign targeting athletes at the Youth Olympics, World Anti-Doping Agency chief John Fahey took aim at sports which refuse to lead by example.
Fahey on Monday said Major League Baseball is "misleading" the public by its continued refusal to institute a transparent and rigorous drug testing program.
Fahey, who in March called on the MLB and its players' union to start testing for human growth hormone, says the integrity of the game will eventually be called into question and fans will show their disapproval by refusing to attend games.
WADA has repeatedly criticized MLB for what it considers inadequate testing. WADA has been pushing for more testing for HGH after a British rugby league player early this year became the first athlete suspended for using the hormone.
Management and the baseball players union have said they would accept a validated urine test for HGH and that their science advisers are checking into the accuracy of the blood test for HGH.
"Ultimately, I think the integrity of sport will come into question and in that context they have to think about the future of their game," Fahey, in an interview with the Associated Press, said of the absence of a the highest-level drug testing program.
"The public doesn't like to be taken for a ride and they will march accordingly," Fahey said. "If you say come to the contest, am I going to watch 'who has the best chemist?' You don't go to watch that."
Fahey said WADA has attempted talk with baseball and set up meetings regarding HGH but has the MLB has "effectively ignored us."
"Baseball is the most recalcitrant," he said, comparing MLB with the National Football League, National Basketball League and National Hockey League among the major U.S. leagues. "You had the Mitchell inquiry and clear and concise recommendations from it and they effectively did nothing."
In contrast, Fahey said WADA was having ongoing discussions with the NFL about incorporating some aspects of drug testing into a future collective bargaining agreement and have for the first time managed to "get into the front door" of the NHL to discuss the issue.
"We continue to reach out," he said. "I think the interesting thing is that we are making good progress in ice hockey. We certainly have gotten through the front door. We have movement there."
But Fahey said that WADA would have to be patient in working with any sports league in the United States due to private ownership — a contrast from the most of the rest of the world where testing usually is overseen by an international federation or government sports testing authorities.
"They are privately owned so there is no pressure that can brought to bear," Fahey said. "The American government can't do anything about that. The (sports leagues) have to volunteer. My point is that ultimately the public will decide whether they have confidence in the way the game has been run and believe what they are seeing is the real thing."
Fahey was in Singapore to unveil WADA's first anti-doping campaign aimed at young athletes. Called Play True Generation Program, it aims to teach athletes through a computer game the benefits of making health choices as well as the dangers of doping.
WADA has set up a booth in the heart of the Youth Olympic Village, offering athletes free basketball and soccer balls if they play the game and pledge not to dope.
Fahey said many of the athletes who were dropping into booth have little knowledge of doping and are for the first time experiencing the testing regiment at these games. More than 3,600 athletes, ranging from 14 to 18 years, are competing in 26 sports at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games.

Another Reason To Move To Canada, Used Vehicles From Mexico To Be Allowed In Near Future
If you have been contemplating moving to Canada, this news might just be enough to push you across the border.
According to a report by Canada's Minister of Transport, Chuck Strahl, under the NAFTA agreement, used vehicles from Mexico that can be modified to meet Canadian safety and emission requirements, would be allowed to be brought in.
That means, you could possibly bring in a used Fiat or Renault from Mexico into Canada, vehicles that weren't previously available to our northern neighbor. So if the department for Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) are on your side, you could be driving around in a Fiat Barchetta or a Renault Avantime. That is a sweet thought.
Plus, Canada also has a law that allows its citizens to import any car into the country that is 15 years old, or older. So if you are visiting Canada, don't be too surprised to see a Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R driving around, with a fully legal title. Might be worth the move for that reason alone.
