I changed my permalinks to show the post title, now I can't access any of my posts or the admin panel.

What Men Need - What Women Need

Dangers of external control
In Christian tradition – Lucifer, the devil, was cast out of heaven because of the sin of pride; but Lucifer had a more pervasive and devastating character flaw – it was the desire to control others. Recall his temptation of Christ in the desert. He tried to get Christ to do things he didn't wish to do. "Turn these stones into bread", "Throw yourself off this high building and angels will rescue you", "Bow down and worship me". Contrast this desire to control others with God's nature.
Males condense - Women expand
I was going to visit some new friends and needed directions. I phoned and got these directions from her: "Go up that street with all the stores on it just like you're going to the mall –you'll see a Kmart on your left – go past that. Then you'll come to Kimberly Rd. – you can turn right or left there but don't – go straight. Look for a Burger King on the right – that's where you turn." At this point I heard her husband in the background saying "Let me tell him how to get here." He got on
Secrets to relational success
Most therapists adhere to one professional school of thought or another. I consider myself an Adlerian…a follower of Alfred Adler. Dr. Adler was a believer that education was an important component of therapy. He might have said that he educated those he counseled, because if they knew how to fix their problems on their own then they would have. I have often heard colleagues say that we have all the answers we need inside of us…but I think this is more of that "conventional wisdom" that is
Waiting can be a problem
Did you ever watch a baseball game? Sometimes a fly ball is hit into the outfield…right between center and left. Both the center fielder and the left fielder move toward where they believe the ball will come down in order to catch it. Then, as the ball gets close, each player notices the other and stops trying for the ball – only to have it drop to the grass between them. In a split second each thought the other was going to catch it and so backed off. They call these plays "errors" in
Relighting his fire
Most men are not lazy. If they were then it is unlikely that women would ever marry them. Women do not treasure lazy men. Yet something happens to men that causes courtship behaviors to give way to only occasional interest or even apparent indifference toward their wives. I've got a couple thoughts on the topic of relighting your man's fire when he seems not to even notice you. When a man begins to court he is driven by his desire to be close and his fear of losing you to someone else.
Scoring points with a woman
There's a story of a man who attends relationship training and learns that the way to score points with a woman is lots of little gifts of love. He takes the afternoon off to surprise her and on his way home he buys a large variety of gifts. He rings the door bell – she answers – he holds out his armload of gifts and announces, loud enough for the neighbors to hear, "I love you Honey!". She responds by breaking into tears and saying, "everything that could go wrong has gone wrong today…and
The Miracle Question
Here's a conversation I often hear when I am counseling couples. She: "I'm tired of doing it all. I take care of the kids – get them to practice and to the doctors. I seem to be responsible for all the household chores. I have to somehow stretch the paychecks to cover all the bills. I'm sick of it…and I get nothing from you!" He: "You get nothing from me? I work 12 hours a day, take side jobs on the weekends. I mow the lawn, I fix the car, I don't go to the bars, I'm faithful and all
Marrying your best friend
Misinformation is much worse than no information. A lack of information at best might cause us to move more slowly and cautiously until we are sure we are moving in the right direction; at worst we won't hate ourselves for ending up at the wrong place. Misinformation is moving at top speed in the wrong direction. I hear a lot of misinformation as I sit daily in my office. People are misinformed about interpersonal relations, parenting, and especially the most intimate of relationships -
SEX n- How often?
The frequency of marital intimacy is a common topic of discussion when I'm doing couples therapy. I'll use the term "intimacy" instead of the more recognizable 3 letter version of this act because this is a family magazine and I'm not looking to expand my reader demographic to include children – so "intimacy" it is! How often is "normal" for a couple to have intimacy? I've got a COUPLE THOUGHTS that topic. Some therapists cite charts and tables that define "normal" frequency at various ages.

This and That
A few articles of interest that I came across recently:
- In the Washington Post, Sarah Pekkanen takes up the "gender divide" issue in YA lit. Girls, of course, will read all kinds of books. Boys, of course, won't. Sigh.
- Here's a nice roundup of all the books nominated in the children's and young adult category for the Lambda Literary Awards, including Love Drugged by James Klise and Jumpstart the World by Catherine Ryan Hyde.
- And the ALA came out with their annual Rainbow Project List in January. These titles "reflect significant gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans-gendered/queer-questioning (glbtq) experience for young people from birth to age 18." It looks like a great list, so check it out.
- And finally, there's a new online YA literary magazine out, called Verbal Pyrotechnics! The first issue is now posted. It includes a great short story by my friend Bernard Lumpkin! Give it a read.

I've disagreed with Richard Dawkins before on his insensitivity to women, feminism, and majority privilege. Some of it he's apologized for, so I'd like to think we're starting to be heard. I know all too well from environmental campaigns the importance of acknowledging our successes.
And thus, I part with my fellow Friendly Atheist contributor Lauren Nelson in her recent post, which struck out scathingly at Dawkins for the following single tweet:
There is nothing wrong with those words. The question deserves answers, not attacks.

Posted on behalf of The Nye Law Group on Dec 14, 2012 in Criminal Law
The beginning of the formal criminal process generally begins with an arrest. This can happen either by a warrant (authorization to "seize" you by law enforcement) or by an on-the-spot arrest (generally issuing a citation or citations). So now you are in jail. What now?
For minor misdemeanors resulting in arrest, some bail amounts are pre-set at the jail. That means you do not have to appear before a magistrate to have a monetary amount set. However, for most misdemeanors and all felonies, you will appear before a magistrate judge to determine whether to release you from jail pending court and under what conditions of release (generally money and/or no contact orders). This generally happens between 24 to 48 hours of arrest.
You are entitled to have a lawyer present at this hearing to argue for your release under "reasonable conditions." This is even more important for serious crimes. Important practical considerations to the bail question are:
So if bail is set, what then? You can post your BOND two different ways. First, you can post the entire amount of the bond. At the conclusion of your criminal case, you will get all of this money back! Second, if you cannot post your entire bail, then you can use a bondsman. You generally will pay the bondsman 10% of the bail amount, and they will secure the rest with the court under "bond." Friends and family members can post bonds for you, as well.
What if bail is not set? It depends. Call our office immediately to discuss, because there are many different aspects that may affect future bail requests.
Military Personnel: Generally, your chain of command or MP's can come and get you immediately. This is called being returned to military control. This could save you some money, but alert your command to potential misconduct.
The personal injury lawyers at The Nye Law Group have a strong reputation of standing up for the rights of those who have been injured throughout Georgia and South Carolina.
We are committed to fighting for justice and compensation for injury victims who have suffered because of another's negligence in auto accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse and many other situations.
We offer personal injury victims a free consultation to discuss their legal options. YOU OWE US NOTHING UNLESS WE RECOVER COMPENSATION FOR YOU.

A Level Retake Advice: English Literature[1]
Sometimes retaking a subject that has been tried before can be an excellent idea. Although it will be changing soon, at the moment A levels are modular. This means that each A level consists of four components, often testing different skills. In A level English Literature each module will use different texts, some of which a student may 'get', others which may be incomprehensible. The skills involved in explaining the themes in The Pardoner's Tale are very different than those required in exploring the contextual circumstances of The Waste Land.
"I hated English at my old school but at RIC the teachers prepared me for the exams, inspired me and made me love English again. I went from a D to an A. sasha miles, joined ric from simon Langton grammar, canterbury
Half of the modules in English Literature are coursework based and half are exam based, which are also very different types of assessment. For these reasons it is quite easy to score very well in one module and very poorly in another; we have seen mixtures of As and Es. What then is to be done?
There are two options when it comes to retaking. Firstly one can retake a module or modules. One thing to recognise is that it is often necessary to retake modules that have quite 'good' grades, because the mark is itself is quite low. Usually only modules that already have an A are not retaken and sometimes these are not off limits. Sometimes the texts themselves have been the problem and in these circumstances we will help you choose new texts which are particularly accessible.
However, it is surprising how often the best result is to retake all four modules from a fresh start, potentially with a different board and entirely new set of texts. One reason for this is that we have selected the particular board that our students sit carefully, as we believe it tests their abilities most fairly. Secondly, sometimes a fresh start is exactly what is needed. A misconception at the start of a course, perhaps in the first terms of year 12, is like a bad foundation; anything built on it is liable to crumble. Rather than thinking of the modules taken and the texts studied as assets in the bank, think instead of the skills learnt as the asset.
It is best to keep an open mind. Come on in and discuss it with us. With have a lot of experience, with all of the different boards.
"The way we looked at texts in English at RIC was dynamic, we would sit around and discuss, it was much more interactive, just like the university seminars I attend now." tom teverson, now studying english at exeter university
David Thornthwaite, Head of English, studied as an undergraduate at the University of Warwick and later studied for his MA at the University of Kent. He entered the teaching profession after a career in banking. His particular interests within Literary Criticism are Victorian and Edwardian literature, Science Fiction, Literary Biography and Narrative Theory. His favourite texts have a suspicious habit of finding their way onto the curriculum, but he insists that he likes them because they are so accessible.
[1] While the A level we are discussing here is A level English Literature, much of it is applicable to A level English Language and A level English Language and Literature too.

Meijer Double Match Days Boost Food Pantries
Late-summer push enhances Midwest retailer's Simply Give campaign
Midwestern superstore retailer Meijer will double match every customer's $10 Simply Give donation made Sept. 3-5 in support of Hunger Action Month and in an effort to restock its food pantry partners' shelves that were depleted over the summer months.
"Over the summer, our food pantry partners see an uptick in clients because federal school lunch programs are not available to children. As a result, our fall campaign is an important time to focus on restocking those shelves," Co-Chairman Hank Meijer said. "The Simply Give program has helped fill a void in the communities we serve thanks to the continued support and generosity of our customers, team members and pantry partners."
As pat of its ongoing hunger relief efforts, the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer will stretch every customer's $10 Simply Give donation further during its Double Match Days. That means for every $10 donation card purchase, Meijer will contribute $20, resulting in a total $30 donation.
Raised $16M since 2008
Meijer began its Simply Give program in November 2008 as a way to help restock the shelves of local food pantries throughout the Midwest. Since then, the program has generated more than $16 million for those food pantry partners to distribute to hungry families.
Those meals stay local, said Janet Emerson, EVP of retail operations for Meijer. "We know how important it is to our customers that their generous donations remain in their local communities," Emerson said. "That's why each of our stores partner with a local food pantry during the Simply Give campaign."
During each Simply Give campaign, customers are encouraged to purchase $10 Simply Give donation cards that are then converted into Meijer food-only gift cards and given to the food pantry selected by the store. The Simply Give program runs three times a year; the fall campaign will run through Sept. 12. Customers can find Simply Give donation cards on fixtures near the checkout, and grocery and pharmacy departments.

Nicolas Cage Is in Talks to Employ His Oscar-Winning Acting Prowess In 'Lost Melody'
It's been a big year for Nicolas Cage. First, he was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Actor in not one, but two of his remarkable films, Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance and Seeking Justice. Then, the invincible action hero was resurrected from an Internet death hoax via snowboarding accident. Now, with National treasure 3 on the horizon, he will combine two Richard Gere films to play a married man who falls for a prostitute. You go, Nic. You go.
The Wrap reports that Cage is in talks to star in Lost Melody, an indie drama directed by Terry Zwigoff and produced by Edward R. Pressman. Cage will reportedly play an unhappily married man who escapes marital boredom through the everlasting love of a prostitute. The actor, currently on his third wife, knows a lot about marriage. Obviously, this is the key to marital bliss.
After Cage's sad performance in The Wicker Man wiped our memories of his Academy Award for Best Actor in 1996 (I'm not joking), can he finally return to acting greatness? Will an independent film by the creator of Bad santa cure the loneliness felt by the single golden statuette sitting on his shelf? Probably not, but this is the man who stole the Declaration of Independence… so anything could happen.

A SUMMER fete featuring a baking competition, TV policeman and live music and dance will take place in Stourport later this month.
The event, on Saturday, June 28, from 1pm to 4pm, has been organised by the parent-teacher association (PTA) of Burlish Park Primary School and will raise money for a new school minibus.
It takes place on the fields and car park of Stourport Sixth Form Centre, in Coniston Crescent.
Fyonna Muckian, chairman of the PTA, which is also known at the Burlish Fundraising Group, said: "It is going to be a fantastic fun day for all the community and, hopefully, it will raise lots of funds for our local school."
Cake enthusiasts will be able to enter the Great Burlish Bake Off, which will award prizes for the best cake made by an adult and the best decorated cupcakes made by a child aged under 16 or under 11.
PC Angus Nairn, who features in Motorway Cops on BBC one, will be present with his police car, while Step By Step dance group and West Midlands Tae Kwon Do will perform live.
There will also be the chance for green-fingered visitors to enter pots, trays or baskets into the miniature garden competition, which will be judged by Paul Cook of Cook's Garden Centre in Stourport, and rides, a disco and traditional fete stalls will provide further family entertainment Two pupils from Burlish Park Primary School will be running one of the stalls in support of the Forest Dog Rescue.
Ella Dew and Katie Flowers, both 10, aim to raise funds through a tombola and a guess the name of the dog competition.
The PTA will also run a raffle, with prizes dona-ted by local businesses including a seven-inch tablet computer, a Pandora bracelet and West Midland Safari Park tickets.
Mrs Muckian said a new minibus would help improve pupils' learning and their enjoyment of school through educatio-nal trips, extra-curricular activities and sport.
The fete, open to the whole community, costs 50p to attend.

Hotel at a Glance: Sea Adventure Resort & Waterpark
Set on the north side of Cancún at the tip of a seaside fishing village, Sea Adventure Resort & Waterpark is in a tranquil location sheltered from the bustling Hotel Zone. The all-inclusive resort sits on a white-sand beach along the Caribbean Sea, which adds to the laid-back vibe.
- Included meals per day: Three, plus all-you-can-eat snacks and drinks at three restaurants and three bars
- À la carte option: Steak and oysters at Ostras + Oysters, a romantic lighthouse-themed restaurant
- Take a dip in the Caribbean Sea, the seaside swimming pool, or the three jacuzzis.
- Outdoor water park: Three twisty slides, a multilevel treehouse, and a shaded wet bar
- Kids' club: Mini golf, game room, and daily activities such as face painting and water-balloon wars
- Room with a view: Junior suites feature balconies or terraces that look out onto the sea or the hotel's tropical gardens.
- Notable attractions: The hotel organizes optional tours for additional fees, such as a sailing trip to Isla Mujeres or a "booze cruise" on a double-decker boat.
Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics
Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún's Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it's a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.
Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn't always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it's especially popular with surfers.
The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city's Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun and read Tom Clancy novels. For a Mayan-themed daytrip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula's most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

| Terrence Davidson sues Nicki for stealing wig designs
by VaVaVoom
| According to CNN, Terrence Davidson, former hairstylist of Nicki Minaj, is suing the rapper for stealing "his wig designs" and "also cost him a potential reality show deal that he was discouraged from pursuing" for an amount of $30 million.
The stolen designs are being sold at Nicki's official page as Halloween costumes. Davidson claims that there were plans to release a wig line, by he and Nicki, and discussions about a possible reality show. But in late 2012, his suit says that "Minaj and her agents became mum about the business ventures and took active steps to isolate Mr. Davidson and preclude him from the notoriety he deserved for his wig designs."

Heritage Commons Towards a participative heritage governance in the third millennium
- Marian Preston
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 International Conference Heritage Commons Towards a participative heritage governance in the third millennium Venaria Reale, Turin, September Rationale and background Cultural heritage is increasingly recognised as a fundamental resource for sustainable development. This means it is a strategic resource for reaching the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, to promote jobs and growth in the European Union. While the role of creative industries in the framework of Europe 2020 is already being highlighted (among others, by the Council conclusions on the contribution of culture to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy (2011/C 175/01) the contribution of heritage has not yet been stressed enough. EU Culture Ministers recently recognised this in their Council Conclusions on cultural heritage as a strategic resource for a sustainable Europe, adopted in Brussels on 21 May These Conclusions underline the important role of heritage in promoting economic growth, creating and enhancing social capital and contributing to environmental sustainability, all relevant to the Europe 2020 objectives for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The revision of the Europe 2020 Strategy is about to start, and the Italian Presidency intends to promote the fuller representation of culture and heritage. The first step is a public consultation on Europe 2020: towards a post-crisis growth strategy for Europe, open until 31 October The recent Council Conclusions on cultural heritage also recognise that heritage is relevant to many public policies beyond culture, potentially contributing to policy objectives in regional development, social cohesion, agriculture, maritime affairs, environment, tourism, education, the digital agenda, and research and innovation. In turn, each of these policy areas can have an impact on cultural heritage. The Conclusions call both the Member States and the European Commission to fully recognise and develop the potential of cultural heritage. Two previous EU Presidency Conferences on heritage helped inform the development of the Council Conclusions. Last November the conference Cultural Heritage and the EU-2020 strategy towards an integrated approach, organised by the Lithuanian Presidency, recognised the cross-sectorial policy relevance of heritage and recommended a long term plan to ensure that cultural heritage is incorporated in other EU policies and programmes. In March this year the conference Heritage first! Towards a common approach for a sustainable Europe, organised under the Greek Presidency, highlighted the role heritage plays in building social capital and its potential for ensuring sustainable development, thus paving the ground to the recently adopted Council Conclusions. With this conference "Heritage Commons" the Italian Presidency aims to build on the conclusions of the Council, and both previous Presidencies, and progress towards the practical measures that should now be taken to unleash the potential of cultural heritage for sustainable development. We would like to identify effective approaches to the governance and management of cultural heritage, which respect and enhance its social, cultural, symbolic and economic value. Recent development of both European and national policies focus on the collective and social dimension of heritage, community-led development and the possible synergies across several different stakeholders. The recent Communication of the Commission Towards an integrated approach to cultural heritage for Europe (COM (2014) 477) underlines that heritage resources, independently from their ownership, bear a value that is held in common, and are in this sense common goods.
2 As common goods, heritage resources require an evolved framework of collective (multi-level, multistakeholder) governance. This should recognize the role of all public and private actors and the rights of groups of interested citizens ( heritage communities according to the terminology adopted by the Faro Convention on the Value of Cultural heritage for the Society) to actively participate in the maintenance, management and development of common heritage. A community-based approach to cultural heritage policies and programmes has already been adopted in the framework of several EU programmes, from the societal challenges of the research programme Horizon 2020, to the community-led local development included in the European Structural and Investment Funds. This approach is also recognised by the Joint Programming Initiative Cultural Heritage and Global Change: a new challenge for Europe. Globalization, digitisation and the pervasive adoption of ICTs are also changing the way cultural heritage is produced, presented, accessed and used, triggering new opportunities and challenges for sharing heritage goods. At the same time, cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as the competitive advantage of Europe in the global scenario and culture identified as a diplomatic tool in external relations. These changes are leading to an evolution of the economic, cultural and social value of heritage, which requires more innovative policy and governance solutions than those generally adopted. A suitable policy and governance framework for cultural heritage will make the objective of a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth for Europe much more easily achievable. Europe will become a global model of culture- and heritage- driven sustainable development, of the humanisation of an economic growth driven by the well-being of citizens. 2. Aims and objectives The aim of this conference is to consider new governance frameworks which value cultural heritage as a collective resource, focusing on two specific areas: - cross-cutting policies enabling heritage to contribute to objectives in different policy areas; - participatory/collective governance for heritage supporting the engagement of civil society in policy development and implementation. In this conference we would like to analyse cultural heritage through the commons perspective, in order to identify and discuss the implications in terms of governance and policy for its preservation, management, valorisation, enjoyment, role as a driver of sustainable development at local, national and European level. The added value of the heritage commons perspective is that it allows addressing all heritage categories (tangible, intangible, digital) transversally, with an interdisciplinary approach able to tie together themes and approaches on cultural heritage that are often treated separately, and to bring to the fore the issue of governance. Examining cultural heritage through the perspective of the commons can address the evolution of this resource in the new millennium and might help identifying new models of governance and new policies for its management, conservation and development. This conference shall pave the way for further cooperation between EU Member States and the Commission on the issues related to the governance of cultural heritage within the next Work Plan for Culture.
3 Programme Registration 23 September Opening session Opening statements: Chair: Piero Fassino, Mayor of Turin o o o o Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism, Sport, Media and Youth Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni, Deputy Secretary-general, Council of Europe Silvia Costa, Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament Dario Franceschini, Minister for cultural heritage, cultural activities and tourism Lunch SESSION 1: Heritage as a common good This first panel will focus on the concept of heritage commons. The concept of commons (from the latin word communis) dates back to the middle ages as an institutional arrangement for the collective management and property of natural resources, including habitable and grazing land, forests, irrigation systems and fisheries. Such common-pool resources, however, face also social dilemmas. In particular, resources managed collectively are at risk of overuse, as free riding threatens their very existence. Social sciences have recognised a potential tragedy of the commons in situations where self-interested individuals, acting independently, are unable to cooperate and behave contrary to the whole group's long-term best interests by depleting the common resource. Solutions to this dilemma are traditionally either public intervention and centralized management, or, on the contrary, privatisation and market-based approaches for the management of the resource. Elinor Ostrom, Nobel winning political economist, pointed out that neither the centralized management nor the privatisation of the commons, although viable, provide an ideal solution. Starting from the analysis of several empirical case studies, she scientifically demonstrated that the tragedy of the commons is not inevitable: communities can develop a third way of governance at community level succeeding in avoiding unproductive conflicts. Cultural resources, products and services are often presented as commons : examples are the use of the tangible heritage for tourism purposes, the transmission of traditions and local savoir faire, and the creation and management of on-line cultural content. Deterioration or destruction of the landscape and cultural heritage, and underestimation of the value of culture in policy decisions, can be considered as expressions of the tragedy of the commons resulting from lack of awareness of both the private and public sectors.
4 This session will explore the following questions: 1.1 how can we best address the governance challenge of heritage as commons? 1.2 how are heritage commons created, and how do they evolve? 1.3 which are the advantages of addressing of heritage as a common good (including at policy level)?

There is a clear need to govern touristic pressure on communities rich in heritage by balancing economic opportunities and maintaining cultural value. New narratives also need to be developed, to provide a satisfactory experience to tourists of other cultures, to strengthen the identity of local communities where heritage resides and also to strengthen European cultural identity, as perceived from outside Europe. These new narratives might exploit and enhance the intangible heritage of the local communities. Tourists are increasingly looking for true experiences, meeting and getting in contact with other people and other cultures. In order to take advantage of this trend to promote Europe as a unique tourism destination, while at the same time ensuring the well-being of citizens, policies will need to develop a quality offer based on local cultures and traditions which should be sustainable in terms of the preservation and enhancement of heritage, landscape, territorial and community identity. There is a certain interdependency between tourism activities and heritage preservation: on one hand, the cultural tourism offer represents common European shared values and identity, and tourism can play a key role in raising awareness and generating direct and indirect support for heritage preservation. On the other hand, cultural heritage is of fundamental importance for the quality of life of local communities, for the visitor experience and ultimately for the generation of prosperity coming from tourism. This session will explore the following questions:
5 2.1 how can participative heritage governance help communities strengthen their identities and prosper socially and economically? 2.2 when / why do touristic flows clash with local communities? 2.3 what role can local communities play in the touristic offer, especially as far as its intangible cultural expressions are concerned? Moderator: Luca Bergamo, Secretary general, Culture Action Europe o Mike Robinson, Director, Ironbridge International Institute of Cultural Heritage, University of Birmingham o Yoel Mansfeld, University of Haifa o Jin-yung Woo, Adviser on Tourism and Culture, World Tourism Organization o Mara Manente, University of Venice Ca Foscari Discussion briefly among panel, based around questions in italics above, then Transfer to the Carignano Theatre Ballet show Dinner Transfer to hotel 24 September 8.30 Transfer to Venaria Reale 9.00 SESSION 3: Advanced models of heritage governance: collective selfregulation, knowledge and innovation Intangible heritage and tacit knowledge are essential assets for the production of cultural goods such as crafts, design, fashion and food products, which are very tightly connected with identity values, branding and marketing of places. Advanced models of governance for these cultural resources have been developed, among other places, in Italy. Cultural and creative industries here have based their business models on collective systems of protection of the quality of the production and of intellectual property rights. In this model, collective trademarks or branding are used not only to ensure protection against unauthorized reproduction, but also to stimulate investment and maintain quality. Moreover, in food production, community selfregulation has played a strong role towards quality and recognisability since very early times. However, intangible heritage as a common good shared by a community suffers also from the risk to be depleted or deteriorated if members of a community do not maintain and transmit it through generations and adapt such knowledge and expressions to changing conditions
6 through research and innovation. For instance, although strongly grounded on the material culture and the cultural capital of a place, research and innovation play a key role today in gastronomy, design and fashion products. The key issue in this session is therefore to understand and discuss how governance models may ease the valorisation and sustainable evolution of the intangible heritage and forms of material cultural expressions of communities. This session will explore the following questions: 3.1 how can community-based self-regulation of intangible heritage assets be deployed successfully? 3.2 how can a multi-level, multi-stakeholder governance model support and integrate such a model, optimizing its potential for achieving economic and social welfare? 3.3 how can research and innovation transform traditional skills while strengthening links across the generations? Moderator: Fabio Donato, University of Ferrara, ENCATC board member o Fabio Renzi, Secretary-general, Symbola Foundation o Gerry Salole, Global Fund for Community Foundations and the European Foundations Centre o Petya Totcharova, Head of Unit, Europe and North America, UNESCO World Heritage Centre (TBC) o Valérie Marie d Avigneau, European Commission, DG Internal Market Discussion briefly among panel, based around questions in italics above, then Coffee break SESSION 4: Heritage management in cities: taking advantage of civic intelligence and smart tools The European Union is the most highly urbanized region in the world with a high concentration of cultural heritage in its towns and cities. The EU's economic growth relies on urban areas as focal points of economic development, technological innovation and public services, whereas culture and cultural heritage are considered as common goods for the benefit of towns and cities, and their surrounding regions. The new model for EU urban areas is community-based, realizing the potential of civic intelligence through participatory governance. It uses available resources efficiently, including culture and heritage, to develop across six axes: economy, mobility, environment, people, living and governance. This is the smart city, closely related to its surroundings and connected with other towns in the area as an active network. Synergies with the Capital of Culture Programme could be made in order to put forward a European smart city model that is closely linked with its environment and its surrounding areas, thanks to an active network within which historic centres and cultural activities are powerful identity factors as well as effective boosters for economic development. The European smart city would therefore become the place where past (heritage and
7 knowledge), the present (education and cultural activities) and the future (research and innovation) come profitably together. This session will explore the following questions: 4.1 how can cultural heritage contribute to the six dimensions of the smart city and make connections between them? 4.2 how can civic intelligence on heritage be unleashed by participative governance? 4.3 what tools can the heritage sector use to contribute to the smart city concept? Moderator: Philippe Daverio, art historian, lecturer o Christer Gustafsson, University of Uppsala o Kurt Vandenberghe, Director, Climate Action and Resource Efficiency, European Commission DG Research (TBC) o Lu Qiong, State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China o Piero Fassino, Mayor of Turin Discussion briefly among panel, based around questions in italics above, then SESSION 5: Digital technology as an enabler, for new narratives of heritage, new ways of supporting heritage as a collective resource, and new means of increasing access to heritage and developing new audiences Digital technologies change the way cultural resources are produced, offered and shared. They allow innovative forms of access, use and reuse of knowledge about heritage, as well as enabling new mechanisms of support to cultural production. Community engagement through digital means can provide ways to support heritage as common good. Crowdfunding and patronage through associations of friends or supporters can be community-building strategies strengthening the bond of cultural institutions with their land and their people. Motivations for individual donations and the role of virtual communities should be further explored. This session will explore the following questions: 5.1 how can the heritage sector capitalize on the sense of community that the internet can foster? 5.2 can virtual communities actively contribute to heritage development? 5.3 if so what is the most appropriate governance model? Moderator: Philippe Daverio, cultural journalist, lecturer o Xavier Greffe, Université Paris 1

I have been promising for a while to say something about the Venetic goddess of writing. Last term, my colleague Dr Katherine McDonald gave a short seminar series on the Venetic language, which was used in the Veneto area of Italy in the second half of the 1st millennium BC (at least, this is when most of the evidence for it dates from).
The Venetic language has clear affiliations with other Italic languages, which can be seen for example in some words that look very similar to what we find in Latin (such as ego for the first person pronoun "I"). It was written in an alphabet that seems to have been derived from an Etruscan alphabet (itself derived from the Greek alphabet), although it has some peculiarities of its own, including a complex system of punctuation for syllables.

When supply chain directors were asked what their specific logistics priorities were, cost efficiency features prominently, with agility, efficiency, lead times and speed to market the other recurring watch words.
As published in Retail Week & DWF Supply Chain: Trends and Innovations in Retail 2014-15 report
Automation and Technology
The news that within the next five years Amazon believes it might be using unmanned drone helicopters for customer deliveries underlines the role that automation and technology play in modern retail logistics.
As discussed in the opening chapter of this report, there is much admiration for Amazon among the retailers interviewed. However, those who commented on this innovation remain un-convinced about the online retailer's drones.
While there is always scope for revolutionary thinking, a supply chain director at a major national retail group emphasises the need to take a pragmatic view towards logistics automation. "Automation for automation's sake is not the agenda, whereas automation that will drive commercial benefits is," he says. The same applies to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), he suggests. "We wouldn't be looking at RFID because it is too expensive."
Other retailers interviewed for this report had similar reservations about RFID. "I've investigated it [RFID] twice over the past five years but for us it is still cost prohibitive," says a distribution director of a department store operator.
While the logistics director of an online retailer believes the technology offers benefits, he says these benefits currently do not justify the investment. "When people start to get RFID and use it properly that will improve efficiency," he says, but adds: "Scale-wise we could really use it but it would be competing against a system that is already very efficient. I would love to introduce RFID but I would have to have a compelling case as to how it is going to help me operationally."
"In my view, RFID will never replace the barcode, but I think something will," says a distribution director of a department store operator.
There is far greater consensus around the benefits of warehouse automation. For example, a distribution director at a department store operator says automation in picking "drives down costs", and "gives us a level of accuracy that you don't get from manual warehouse solution".
Warehouse automation carries advantages from "a cost and efficiency point of view", says the logistics director of a fashion retailer, but the challenge is to keep automation working. "Maintenance costs are high and when it does go wrong it is very difficult to recover."
Innovation in collaboration
Innovation of course is by no means restricted to technological advances. When the supply chain directors interviewed for this report were asked where they feel there will be the greatest innovation in supply chain, the responses naturally reflected the importance of multi/omnichannel evolution. Multichannel was chosen from among the list of ten areas by 40% of the sample. Interestingly, however, just as many of the respondents nominated collaboration as an area where they expected the greatest innovation to be going forward, including collaboration in logistics.
"There is definitely scope for collaboration," says the distribution director of a fashion retailer, adding that his company had already made some progress on this and would be looking to do more.
"Competitors could share back-office activities in order to improve costs and efficiencies. They could share our delivery resources. It doesn't have to be competitors either but it has to be compatible traffic that you can merge with your own fleet."
With regard to collaboration between retailers, a distribution director at a high street operator adds: "We are not seeing a huge amount of collaboration at the moment between retailers but I think we will in future. Retail collaboration is something that really excites me."
A specific collaborative challenge highlighted by a supply chain director at a major specialist is for retailers to work together on moving more freight on to the rail network.
Watch out for our next blog post which will look at the key priorities for sourcing and supplier relationships.

By far, 2016 gave us some very good movies like Zootopia and X-Men Apocalypse, you can expect Hollywood entertainment to do even better next year.
Take a look at the below list of top 10 Best Upcoming Hollywood Film of 2017
1. Star Wars:
Episode VIII Looper and Brick's Rian Johnson remains the most intriguing directorial hire in the history of Star Wars, as well as the only person besides George Lucas to both write and direct one of the franchise's movies. It's unlikely that the still-untitled Episode VIII will be as idiosyncratic as Johnson's The Brothers Bloom, but after JJ Abrams' solid but unspectacular table-setting, this latest trilogy is on good footing to try something a little bit new. Hard details on the movie, naturally, are scarce, but if Abrams' Spielberg-isms felt too familiar, Johnson could be the one to liven things up.
2. Thor: Ragnarok
Expecting an auteur stamp on a Marvel movie is a mug's game, but call us mugs: the pairing of a Thor/Hulk "buddy movie" and director Taika Waititi could produce inspired results. Waititi, the Kiwi director known for comedies like What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilder people, brings much-needed levity to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most dour and unengaging sub franchise, and might even give Chris Hemsworth a chance to employ the comic chops he showed off in Ghostbusters and Vacation. Of course, it won't be all laughs: the movie's subtitle refers to Norse mythology's end of the world. But if Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo get to play Hope and Crosby along the way, maybe the journey to apocalypse won't be so bad after all.
3. The Snowman
It's been five long years since Tomas Alfredson's stylishly grungy Cold War thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but this adaptation of Jo Nesbø's murder mystery sounds like it might be worth the wait. Michael Fassbender stars as a detective on the trail of what may be Norway's first serial killer, with Rebecca Ferguson as a like-minded detective and a cast that also includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, JK Simmons and Val Kilmer. It's a bit odd to have Alfredson returning to his native Scandinavia with an English-speaking cast in tow, but it'll be great to see what he does on familiarly chilly turf with a Hollywood-sized budget.
4. The Beguiled
It's hard to envision a stranger match-up than Sofia Coppola and the Western genre, but that's just what makes this remake of a Don Siegel/Clint Eastwood oater so intriguing. Although it's set during the Civil War, the story of a wounded Union soldier (Colin Farrell) who seeks shelter in a Confederate girls school is a seduction at heart, and the photos from Coppola's set suggest she's doubling down on the original's languorousness. It's hard to imagine how Coppola's take on this most masculine of genres might turn out, but that's what's exciting about it.
5. King Arthur
Legend of the Sword is an upcoming 2017 Australian-American epic adventure drama film directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Joby Harold. The film stars Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur. It is scheduled to be released on May 12, 2017, in IMAX and conventional formats.
6. The Wolverine 2
The producers are going to send off Wolverine with a bang. We do not know what the film is going to be about but Hugh Jackman has a bit of more Wolverine within him. We will make sure he leaves a good mark before the wolvishness is gone forever. Wolverine in its first part appeared to be a typical Chinese plot movie with lots of Kung Fu, no real story and so much of Hugh Jackman. Yet it played well on the screens as people love the wolverine stepping out from a closet into real life. Cinemas actually echo with the sound of applause- we have witnessed that. James Mangold will be directing the sequel after the first part too. The release date is 3/3/17
7.Fast & Furious 8
Yes! Looked doubtful after Paul Walker died in real and his character was given a fitting end at the end of the last film in the series. However, Vin Diesel himself confirmed that there is going to be another Fast & Furious. We do not know who is coming back to fill in the empty space but we do know that we can look forward to another sequel full of high tech cars, crazy driving, speed and acceleration (Why they do it manually still confuses me though!). 4/14/17 mark your calendars with this.
8. Wonder Woman
Batman v Superwoman paved way for another character towards the end of story: The Wonder Woman. Though we still laugh about the "do you bleed" part, we can safely say that Gal Gadot will be making a center stage appearance just as good as the other heroes in Marvel's imagination-to-comics-to-films collection. You could even say that her performance will make way for another sequel a couple of months later. One must admit that Gadot does look quite cool in that Amazonian getup. The release date for this movie is 6/23/17
9. Spider Man: Untitled
That is not the name of the sequel by the way because the producers have not thought of one yet. Yet, fans all over the world are excited because Spidey is coming back home to the Marvel Studios for a bit more web-slinging (letting the Editor do the libel and mud-slinging part). Who the new Spider Man will be is also not known yet but we hope he is going to be as amazing as promised. Whoever the man will be, he will be taking us back to Peter Parker's High School days and probably trigger a bit of nostalgia in our lives too. Ready for the ride down the memory lane on 7/28/17?
10. Justice League- part 1
We have been teased so many times in the past about Justice League but never got to see it. It has a place in our hearts because it is made up of all the "geek" stuff! Since Marvel is already taking the spotlight next year, Justice League will be the feather in the cap. We are so looking forward to the darkest, the grittiest and the most epic version of Justice League that we have ever seen. It is just exciting to be having a film and how it comes out is altogether a different story. Watch out for 11/17/17 next year since a comic book story on your shelf is coming alive! Yay!

We now know what Microsoft's Game Mode does, at least in part. Performance impact estimates are extremely modest.

Adaptogens: Everything You Need to Know About These Stress-Reducing Superfoods
The Low-Down On Adaptogens
We've told you that our Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, but what exactly does that term mean? More importantly, what significance does this have to you and your health? Luckily, we've got answers for you.
As well-known medicine hunter, author, and educator Chris Kilham puts it,
"An adaptogen is a botanical that greatly improves your body's ability to adapt to stress, whether it's a hectic schedule, heart or cold, noise, high altitudes, or any other number of stressors. This elite class of herbs impart strength, energy, stamina, endurance, and improve mental clarity."
In order for an herb to be deemed an adaptogen, it has to meet two specific standards: First, it must be proven safe and completely non-toxic. Second, it must have a broad use in the world of health and medicine; specifically in the management and reduction of anxiety and both physical and mental stress.
Because they boost energy levels and lower stress-triggered anxiety, Adaptogens such as Ashwagandha have been used for centuries in Indian and Chinese Ayurvedic medicine by people whose occupations are high-risk or require fast reflexes.
Stress and anxiety can stem from a hormonal imbalance called adrenal insufficiency. This imbalance may occur due to significantly high stress levels, environmental toxins and pollution, poor diet, lack of sleep, constantly fighting exhaustion, over-exercising, or not exercising enough. Besides feelings of stress and anxiety, adrenal insufficiency may cause chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, headaches, low blood sugar, low libido, mood changes, irritability, digestive issues, appetite changes, and irregular periods in women.
The adrenal system manages the body's hormonal response to both physical and mental stress. When your body senses stress, it releases hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce a sufficient amount of these hormones. Adaptogens work to balance this out by improving the health and efficiency of the adrenal system. They also work to help fight fatigue, increase metabolism, enhance immunity, provide better sleep, normalize body imbalances, help cells eliminate toxic waste, and help our bodies to better utilize oxygen.
Adaptogens received their name simply because they work in a way that is unique to each person's body - they "adapt" their function to suite your body's specific needs. This is important because not all stress levels are the same. We all have different factors in our lives which cause us to undergo stress and anxiety - some worse than others. What's even more important is that adaptogens work at a steady pace, so you will never experience uncomfortable jolts or crashes upon taking them. They have also been proven safe for long-term use, as they are not addictive.
Besides Ashwagandha, some other well-known adaptogens include:
- Asian Ginseng
- Eleuthero
- Rhodiola Rosea
What stresses you out? When do you seem to have the highest levels of anxiety? Adaptogens like Ashwagandha can help you get the relief you need, no matter the answer.

Vernon Davis has wonderful Family Feud answers
The AFC and NFC squared off on the celebrity edition of long-running game show Family Feud over the weekend, with five players from each conference constituting a "Family", and while the AFC was victorious, the battle had a clear MVP in Vernon Davis.
The 49ers tight end was full of hilarious answers when prompted by host Steve Harvey to guess the results of the show's famed surveys.
Davis's finest work came when he delivered the answer to the survey request "Name something that follows the word 'strip'", and also prompted a great response from Harvey when the Pro-Bowl receiver answered "her feet" to the question, "If you're good at reading body language, what part of a woman speaks the loudest?"
The rest of the NFC team included Matt Forte, Eddie Lacy, Calais Campbell and Thomas Davis going up against an AFC squad comprised of Nick Mangold, Antonio Brown, Terrell Suggs, Antonio Gates and DeMarcus Ware, with the AFC team walking away with a $25,000 victory.

Someone must have had tic-tac-toe in mind when they designed this beautiful pin. The oversized pearls aren't quite lined up like the game but each oval pearl is perfectly set in its gold-plated slot.
Incredibly, this circa 1960s pin comes with its original tag. Marked CAPRI on one side with a price of $3 on the other. That's about $25 in today's money which was high-end costume jewelry back then.
The pin measures 1 1/2 inches each way. There's a secure rollover clasp. The pin is in excellent unworn condition.
Capri Jewelry Company of New York made beautiful jewelry from 1952 to 1977.
