The Great Migration
Many Irish families boarded ships bound for North America in the middle of 19th century to escape the conditions of poverty and racial discrimination at that time. Although these immigrants often arrived in a destitute state, they went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. An inquiry into many immigration and passenger lists has revealed many early immigrants to North America bearing the Connely family name:

Rock legend Steven Tyler with The Loving Mary Band
take the Washington State Fair Grandstand Stage Sept. 3

Puyallup, WA –Feb. 20, 2017 – The quintessential Steven Tyler will bring his rock and country sounds with The Loving Mary Band to the Washington State Fair on Sunday, Sept. 3rd, 2017. Tyler is the iconic songwriter and prolific voice of the best-selling American rock band, Aerosmith. He is considered one of music's most recognizable, dynamic front men and has been cited by Rolling Stone as "one of the greatest singers of all time." Tyler and Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million records worldwide; he has won four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, four Billboard Music Awards and an Emmy Award. In addition to having nine number one hits, 25 gold, 18 platinum and 12 multi-platinum album certifications, Tyler, along with the rest of his band members, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
Tyler's highly anticipated country solo album We're All Somebody from Somewhere debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and #1 on the iTunes Top Country Albums charts in both the United State and Canada to rave reviews, with the Boston Globe noting, "Tyler didn't just parachute into Nashville for a visit, but walked around and breathed the air." The Associated Press proclaimed "Steven Tyler's country album shines."

Christopher Maloney has said that he was shocked to be called a diva by his fellow X Factor quarter-finalist James Arthur.
Arthur made the claims on camera and Maloney told Heat that he was surprised he felt that way.
"People are saying I'm two-faced," he said. "I didn't know he'd said that. I feel like I'm an easy target, to be honest.
"I mean, I'm going on tour with James and I didn't know anything about that. I don't know... That's totally shocked me, that."
Of claims that he has shouted at members of the production staff, Maloney added: "It's more like the other way round!
"You've got 12 people knocking on your door, all telling you you've got to be somewhere. I'm not in a position to speak to anyone in a derogatory manner. I'm grateful to be here."
The singer said: "I'm keeping my feet on the ground and not doing anything wrong. Because I'm not doing anything wrong, maybe that's why they're printing lies about me.
"I'm the same person off-camera as I am on... All the negativity and crap I've been getting - people trying to bring me down and maybe force me to quit - it's not going to happen.
"No way. I've worked too hard just for somebody to take it away from me."
Regarding claims that he has been late for rehearsals, Maloney countered: "I'm always at rehearsals and I'm always punctual.
"I worked in a call centre job for five years and I have never, ever been late, so why would I now in The X Factor? I just wouldn't do it."
Of suggestions that he must be voting for himself to stay in the competition, he replied: "I'm not getting an income at The X Factor and I'm missing it.
"I've been getting demand letters for a loan that I took out and I'm like, 'How can I afford to vote for myself when I can't even afford to pay the bills?' I honestly haven't got the time. Or the credit."
The full interview appears in this week's Heat, on sale now (November 20).

text: There's a good kosher market on Santa Monica and Federal in West LA. They have a small bakery area where I got a very good thing that somewhat resembles the real danishes that they have in Denmark. They also have an area that had prepared foods, and the things I've gotten there have been excellent. This morning, for example, I got a salad of eggplants and peppers that was quite the experience. I'm guessing that the place might be run by Iranian Jewish people, but I've been too chicken to talk to them and ask.

Golf at Monmouth School for Boys continues to be very strong. This is helped by the very generous sponsorship package the senior school golf team receive from the Celtic Manor Resort. Not many golf teams can boast that they practise at the home of the Ryder Cup for 2010! Junior golf is also thriving with coaching provided during the Michaelmas and Summer terms.
A young school golf team has had a very encouraging season. The highlights of which have been an unforgettable visit to the famous Royal Portrush Links in the Home Internationals representing Wales, a semi-final appearance in the West of England Public School Championships and a narrow defeat in the ISGA match play regional plate final.

Find out what our Summer Courses students got up to during their time at AUB and read their stories below…
Find out what our Summer Courses students got up to during their time at AUB and read their stories below…
"This course has convinced me even more how much I love animation and want to keep going with it."
"I came across AUB's summer courses at a London UCAS event last year and was really interested in the Animation summer course. It sounds corny but ever since I was little, cartoons have fascinated me, not just watching them but understanding how they are put together. I have been thinking about my career a lot recently and I know I really want to go after something that I actually enjoy, otherwise, what's the point?
"I had no real expectations of the course before I started, I just hoped I would enjoy it and improve my animation skills. It has been such a fun course. I have loved working in teams on the animated films. Using some of the equipment has been brilliant.
The stop motion workshops were my favourite, and I also really enjoyed pixilation and using the graphics tablets. This course has convinced me even more how much I love animation and want to keep going with it – but I think patience and commitment are two really key parts of begin 'good' at animation. I spent 2 days working on 1 ½ seconds of an animation – but when you see the final product you feel like a proud parent!"
"I loved the hands-on approach to the fashion course."
"I enjoyed both of my courses but I think the Fashion Design course was my favourite, as I really want to be a clothes designer.
I have been used to working by myself for a long time so I was a little nervous about being in a group of people, but it was very helpful to share ideas and learn from other students. There were some challenging areas of the course. I have been improving my English, so I have been studying hard to keep up with information about the fashion industry.
My careers advisor at my university recommended doing a summer course here and it was definitely the right decision. I loved the hands-on approach to the fashion course. It was nearly all practical, which was a good contrast to the Portfolio Preparation course, which has a bit more digital work on it. Its been my first time in Bournemouth and I really love it – its very safe, lots to do and the beaches are lovely. I am staying on at AUB now to join the BA Fashion department as a Study Abroad student for a term. I am so excited!"
"I have completely fallen for film now and I love being in Bournemouth. I honestly don't want to leave!"
"I found the course online and loved the look of it . I spoke to an AUB graduate who spoke so positively about AUB that it convinced me to come here for the summer course. I was previously a student at international school in China studying business administration but I have a personal interest in film making and also felt there were lots of useful learning tools from the course that would crossover into business that would be useful, such as critique and analysis , working in a team etc. Of course, now that I have done this film making summer course I have really been inspired, and am now applying to do BA Film here at AUB!
"I loved the scriptwriting and directing workshops the best. Being behind the camera is definitely the bit for me. I think the biggest thing I learnt was just understanding all the roles that go into making a film, I have real appreciation now for various aspects such as sound and cinematography. This course has helped me to branch out rather than letting me box myself in too much. I have completely fallen for Film. I love AUB and being in Bournemouth. I honestly don't want to leave!"
""I have discovered an absolute love and fascination with cinematography"
"I came to one of the AUB Open Days to hear about the full time Film course and heard about the summer course through the film tutors. I really felt I needed lots of practical experience, to improve my technical skills, and I also wanted a bit of an insight into the full time BA Film course – so the summer course was a good starting point for me.
"I have recently studied Film Making for over a year at a college in the UK but despite that, 90% of the stuff taught to me on the AUB summer course was totally new – and the approach to how we were taught was just fantastic. I got a real insight into the different roles and processes of filmmaking, rather than learning about them in isolation. I also loved the professional insight from the tutors on the course who have acted in, produced or directed all sorts of films and tv parts. Having people teaching on the course who have worked directly in the film industry is so important I think. The course is tiring but you have to have a real passion and commitment to working in the film industry anyway so it's a good way to show you the hard work that goes into film making!
"Before coming here I thought I knew what I wanted – to be a film director – but I have discovered so many other roles in the film making process that resonate with me, it has completely changed my direction. I have discovered an absolute love and fascination with cinematography, so I am pursuing camera work and the visual side of film making, its what I love."
"I love that we have been able to theme our projects on things we love that are really personal to each individual."
"I heard about AUB through my art teacher who recommended I look at the summer courses before applying for a BA. The Portfolio Preparation course has been amazing. I am doing the Foundation year at AUB in September 2017 and then hoping to progress on to the BA (Hons) Graphic Design, so I thought it would be useful for me to get my portfolio started and develop my creative ideas before starting the Foundation year.
"My favourite part of the course has been designing magazine covers and using music videos as part of our inspiration – I love that we have been able to theme our projects on things we love in our lives like music or travel that are really personal to each individual."
"The staff are so cool – they are the ones that have made the course so good – totally inspiring and really encouraged me."
"I heard about this summer course through my sister's school, as quite a lot of students there have applied to AUB for a place on a BA course.
"I didn't know what to expect and it has been totally amazing – I've learnt loads and have a much more varied portfolio than I thought I would have produced – without this course I don't think I would have any portfolio at all.
"The staff are so cool, they are the ones that have made the course so good, totally inspiring and really encouraged me. For me the best part was the media elements of the course. I loved using some of the technology like the 3D laser cutting which was awesome. I have never had a chance to try out this sort of thing and it totally opened up my mind to what you can do with fashion and technology nowadays.
"I got lots of technical advice and would definitely say my drawing has improved as I have been working a lot on my sketchbooks. I stayed in the AUB Halls which were great – really modern and it was fun to hang out with people from the other courses too. I have had an interview for BA (Hons) Fashion whilst being here for my summer course, and am really pleased to say I have now been accepted to start in September 2017. I cannot believe it and am so excited.
"My advice to future summer students? Don't be worried about making friends, be ready to listen to your tutors and open your mind!"
"The course is better than I thought…it has been really in-depth"
"I did the Graphic Design summer course at AUB last year and enjoyed it so much it swayed me to apply for the BA degree in Graphic Design – so I have returned to do Portfolio Preparation summer course so that I have a decent portfolio for my university application and can build upon all the stuff I learnt on the first summer course.
"The course is better than I thought – I thought we would just touch upon some aspects of art and design but it has been really in-depth, especially looking at how other subjects tie into creative arts such as psychology, maths and philosophy. I think my favourite aspects were typography and logo design."
"Everyone's been really friendly and wanting to share ideas to make all our work better."
"The freedom we had on this course was amazing, it really felt like we were let loose in the studio. Working with all the equipment that you would have in a professional make-up studio has really helped me understand the process.
"The course wasn't quite what I imagined – it has been much better! I imagined there would be quite a lot of 'sitting down time' where we'd just be listening to lectures or tutorials – quite the opposite. I would say that 95% of this course has been practical and I am so glad! It has given me so much confidence and I have experimented with loads of different styles and techniques.
"My favourite parts were the workshops on special effects/zombie style makeup and prosthetics – plus the photo shoots for these were really funny.
"Its also been brilliant getting so many good tips and advice from the lecturers and make-up staff – they are so knowledgeable and helpful. I have visited a few universities in London before and felt they had a very cold and clinical approach – buts its not like that at AUB. Everyone's been really friendly and wanting to share ideas to make all our work better.
I can't believe the three weeks have gone so quickly – I'm really pleased with what I achieved on the course – my practical makeup skills have definitely improved but also I understand more about the design side of creative make-up and what's excepted of you at degree level and in the industry. I have had so much fun – and now I have my heart set on joining AUB's BA Make-Up degree course, so hopefully I will be back next year as a full time student!"
"Best. Summer. Ever."
"Best. Summer. Ever.
It sounds like a cliché but the only thing I didn't like was that the course finished too quickly! I could happily spend all my time here – there's so much to learn – plus all the equipment you have access to is awesome.
I can't believe all that I have achieved in 3 weeks – I have so many photos for my portfolio and am really pleased with the work I have done, particularly the studio shoots as I've always found that quite difficult.
I haven't decided what I want to do yet – I'm still thinking about going to university but I want to do a year's travel photography first – something I would never have had the confidence to do if I hadn't done this course first."
"I've already put in an application for AUB's Fashion degree – this is definitely the place I want to study."
"I was a little nervous before coming to the university this summer – I wasn't sure what it would be like and whether I would fit in. I realise now I was worrying over nothing. Being able to work and collaborate with brilliant minded people from all over the world has been a fantastic experience. I've made loads of friends and its also shown me how much you can learn from other people.
I love that as a group we all have come up with completely different ideas based on the same project. Before starting the course I thought I wanted to study Fashion Design, but I love the creative writing side and looking at the industry – so I think something in editorial or fashion writing is what I want to do eventually. I've already put in an application for AUB's Fashion degree – this is definitely the place I want to study."
"I love that its made me think about things such as sustainability and how people use spaces in different ways."
"This might sound stupid but doing the Architecture course has made me realise the subject is more than just buildings and plans. I love that its made me think about things such as sustainability and how people use spaces in different ways. Every day on the course was different; I've learned so many things that I didn't know even existed.
I really enjoyed the model making as it was fun to be able to create the designs you had on paper. I also enjoyed the group discussions about our work and also the presentation at the end of our projects – it made us consider our work from a different angle, which I suppose it what creative thinking is all about."
"I can definitely say that I now feel prepared and confident to start a career in the arts."
"Having spent 3 weeks in an atmosphere of free thinking and creativity, it has really pushed me to express myself and increased my confidence in my artistic abilities. I wasn't sure if my costume skills would be good enough, but the tutors have been so helpful. My making skills have improved about 1000% and I understand the whole creative process a lot better, about how to go from a design or idea and develop that through to your finished piece.
The study trips to London and Bath were real highlights too – it was great to explore British cities and learn more about art and culture in the UK.
I can definitely say that I now feel prepared and confident to start a career in the arts."
"I have learnt so much in 3 weeks – and having all of the make-up looks recorded in the photoshoot was brilliant."
"Before starting my course, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do make-up as a career choice or leave it as a hobby, but I enjoyed the special effect make-up so much I know that I definitely want to pursue that as a career.
I have learnt so much in 3 weeks – and having all of the make-up looks recorded in the photoshoot was brilliant.
I'd recommend coming to AUB during the summer to anyone who wants to get into a creative subject – its such a friendly atmosphere that we honestly felt like we'd been studying together for ages. "
"What can I say about my AUB experience? Unforgettable. My teachers, my group – all of them were amazing."
"What can I say about my AUB experience? Unforgettable. My teachers, my group – all of them were amazing.
I took the Portfolio Preparation summer course – it was really interesting and valuable for me as it was exactly the area I needed to work on before applying to university. I loved being able to explore lots of different creative arts subjects, and my teachers were so supportive.
The course gave me the inspiration to work harder and go for what I want – I know what that is now; to study my Foundation at AUB and become a better artist."

After her two children were strangled to death, a Texas mother called police... on herself.
Saiqa Akhter, 30, was arrested on Monday night and is expected to be charged with capital murder for the death of her son Zain, 5, who died on Monday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Her daughter, Faryaal, died Tuesday evening.
The woman's uncle, Wasimul Haque, said Akhter had been depressed, the Associated Press reported.
"It looks like she had mental problems. I don't understand why she did it," said Haque.
Akhter called police around 5 p.m. on Monday from her Irving home, about 15 miles from Dallas. She told the operator she used a wire to strangle her children until they turned blue.
The uncle said Zain had autism and a severe speech impediment but was improving. He added that the kids' father, Rashid Akhter, was "totally broken."
Police said the woman was the only one at home at the time of the murder.
It isn't the couple's first brush with law enforcement. In May 2009, the parents were contacted by Child Protective Services after they left their son home alone to take their daughter, who was having respiratory problems, to the hospital.
"They admitted to it and they said they understand why it was dangerous to leave a child that young at home by themselves," said Marissa Gonzales, a CPS spokeswoman.
"They said they had been really concerned about their daughter and so they just hadn't been thinking but they were adamant that it wouldn't happen again."

California Consumers Stay Put
January 18, 2000
In early 1998, 10 million households and companies in California gained the right to choose their electric power provider, and some 60 competitors have lined up to take on the former monopolists. But according to the most recent figures, while industrial customers have embraced the opportunity to change their service, few residential consumers have.
- As few as 2 percent, or less than 200,000, of the roughly 8 million households in California have changed utilities.
- Around half of this two percent have opted for companies that supply power generated from so-called renewable energy sources.
- On the other hand, as many as 25 percent of companies and public facilities in California have already opted to change power suppliers.
Residential customers have been reluctant to change for several reasons, say observers. The sheer complexity of the market is often enough to frighten customers off. Private customers still find it more convenient to receive just one monthly bill from their regular utility, which charges to distribute the power through its system of wires. And the cost savings beyond a state-mandated 10 percent rate reduction have so far been minimal -- due to fees customers pay to reimburse monopoly utilities for uneconomic generating facilities they built under regulation, and the fees consumers pay for their distribution services.
Some of the new utilities, such as Utility.com, hope to attract more customers by offering service-enhancements that allow consumers to pay electric bills, analyze energy use and eventually control household appliances through their personal computers and the Internet.

On the other hand, when your conversion van does need an oil change, you know where to go.
Yes, priests have pet peeves about confessions, and sometimes great struggles with knowing some of the things they've been told that they cannot disclose. But if they can't handle it, they stop being priests. It's not that complicated.
One good tip is well worth the read! Though use something more appropriate than soap or toothpaste for nail holes, please. Since the unpack rarely goes as quickly as you imagine you'll have energy to do when you start, make sure you have everything you need for a few days ready and available so you can be functional while you set up. The bigger the move, the more important this tip!
Hmmm…. maybe one solution might be that for people who make, post or share such things, their identities must be revealed. After all, if someone is advocating rape because they think it's funny, perhaps these are people that women who might date them, parents of such women/girls, and maybe local law enforcement ought to know about….

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Would all the LeBron James haters please sit down now? Don't count on it. If the nonstop hatred against President Obama is any indication of how the critics will respond to King James in the future, it may take some time.
Even after becoming a two-term president, preventing a depression, rescuing the auto industry, passing a historic health care bill and bringing Osama bin Laden to justice, some haters still won't give Obama his due. Similarly, even after scoring 37 points in Thursday night's Game 7, becoming a two-time NBA champion and a two-time NBA finals MVP, some haters still won't give James his due.
But the former Cleveland Cavaliers star had a ready response after winning the coveted NBA championship this year. "I'm LeBron James from Akron, Ohio," he said, "From the inner city. I'm not even supposed to be here."
That innocuous and inspirational comment immediately drew criticism, as some complained there was nothing special about his second NBA championship ring in a row. One online tweeter noted, "You're 6'8", 250 lbs, LeBron. Where the Hell else would you be?"
Actually, he could be unemployed, along with 42.6 percent of Black youth and 13.5 percent of Black men in America.
Or he could be in prison, along with so many other potentially talented African-American men who never made it out of the ghetto and found themselves profiled, stopped, frisked and locked away among the disproportionately incarcerated in a society where Black men are imprisoned up to seven times as often as white men.
Or worse still, he could have ended up dead, like my own cousin, a former high school football star in St. Louis, who never even made it to college.
White America may not realize this, but in our society, it's not a given that a talented Black man — even one with the athletic ability of LeBron James — will end up alive, much less deploying his talents in South Beach.
Of course, some have never forgiven James for leaving his home state of Ohio, and others still fault him for the prime time televised announcement of his departure in 2010. "I personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA Championship before the self-titled former 'King' wins one," Cavs owner Dan Gilbert angrily responded at the time. Since that promise, James has been to the NBA finals three times and won twice, but the cavalier Quicken Loans founder hasn't coughed up a dime on his guarantee.
Not surprisingly, when the Miami Heat's Big Three lost their first NBA bid in June 2011, critics quickly piled on. Conservative commentator Joe Scarborough wrote an unflattering piece comparing James to Obama, and describing the two men as overrated, self-serving narcissists, "bound — not by greatness — but by their own collapse when the klieg lights burned at their brightest." I wonder what he's thinking today.
For privileged white men like Gilbert and Scarborough, high-profile Black men like James and Obama are embraced as long as they don't make mistakes, or at least not mistakes that challenge the hierarchy of the existing social order. In the view of some, the president of the United States and the NBA's most talented player are just two more workers on the plantation who should be busy making money for the elite.
Perhaps, then, it's no coincidence that James should win the championship on the same day when a Florida court seated six female jurors and four alternates, and no African-Americans, to render a verdict on the man who killed Miami resident Trayvon Martin last year. While some NBA players remained silent, it was James and his teammates who displayed their support for Trayvon by putting on hoodies and posing for a provocative team photo of solidarity.
And perhaps it's no coincidence that the Heat victory comes on the same weekend when the upcoming movie, Fruitvale Station, depicting the story of Oscar Grant, has been the buzz here in Miami among the hundreds of Black film makers who have gathered for the American Black Film Festival. The film depicts the story of yet another unarmed young Black man who was shot and killed.
So yes, there are a lot of other places LeBron James and Barack Obama could have ended up instead of South Beach and Pennsylvania Avenue. But they ended up exactly where they needed to be for America to take notice. I'm sure he didn't mean it this way, but maybe Joe Scarborough was right. James and Obama are the same. They're both Black men standing up against the haters and winning against the odds.

Former Speaker of House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, has blamed politicians for the many problems bedevilling the country.
Bankole, who is currently facing corruption charges in Abuja, said this while delivering a lecture at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta on Wednesday.
In a paper entitled, "Mentoring and the Challenges of Leadership in Africa", the former Speaker said the political class had worsened the woes of the ordinary Nigerians.
He noted that if Nigerian leaders had returned to the standards of the nation's founding fathers, many more concrete achievements and tremendous breakthroughs would have been accomplished in the country.
Bankole, who also spoke on the need to mentor future leaders properly, said it was a sure way for the survival of democracy in Nigeria.
He said, "These leaders fail to mentor those who are to take over from them and what we have instead are sit-tight leaders who decide to die in office.
"Nigeria will only be placed on the path of progress, growth and development when we start to prepare our youths for leadership. Proper tutelage is indispensable for success in any vocation and Nigeria must urgently start the process of disallowing untutored and untested persons from mounting the saddle of leadership."
Canvassing a way out, he said, "We must seek to build a system that enables us make creative use of people who have occupied leading positions in our national life to gain useful experience."
Earlier, the FUNAAB Vice Chancelor, Prof. Olusola. Oyewole, said there was a need to insulate youths from the foibles of the current leaders.
"There is a need to mentor a future generation of leaders who will not be bedevilled by our past unproductive and destructive attitudes. We need to draw attention to great leaders whose legacies can serve as beacons of hope to our country at such a time as this.
"To move beyond the gloom of these days, we need to get some shinning lights to remind us that we can still make it."

I know this is the third Carlos Beltran article in two days, but I would be remiss not to give my own two cents on this one. Please read the other articles so I can feel less imposing.
Letting Beltran walk away for $1 million was one of the biggest mistakes in Kansas City Royals history. Now, after the team's best season in decades, they have a chance to right that wrong and make torrential waves in the free agent market.
I listed Beltran first on my list of the Royals' most exciting offensive upgrade possibilities, above even Jacoby Ellsbury, because bringing Carlos back is a Royals fan's dream come true. To imagine Beltran cementing his bid for the Hall of Fame with a World Series win in powder blue is enough to inspire salivation. Is it enough to inspire David Glass to increase payroll and pay for the proven veteran's desired contract? And, is it enough to outweigh the importance of shelling out for Ervin Santana?
Maybe and no, respectively. Without retaining Santana, Glass and the Royals wouldn't have to make a big stretch to sign Beltran for two or three years. Some will point out that the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are also interested in Beltran, which could put the asking price out of Kansas City's reach. Many seem to forget that the Yankees won't be spending like teams of old while trying to minimize their budget for tax reasons. They should be/will be wary of overspending on a 36-year-old with no legs, and Boston will be, too. The Red Sox are coming off a World Series win, and they won't change a winning formula to spend an inordinate amount on Beltran.
For all foreseeable reasons, the Royals should be willing to spend more on Beltran than the other interested teams. Beltran means more to Kansas City than any other team in the league. My aforementioned fairy tale aside, the Royals' need for a power upgrade is serious. Billy Butler struggled in 2013, and putting a bat like Beltran behind him in the lineup would exponentially increase this team's offensive potency.
Another detriment to signing Beltran would be his lack of range defensively, but once again, the Royals have that covered better than any other team. The rest of the outfield will be covered by Gold Glove nominee Lorenzo Cain and two-time Gold Glove winner Alex Gordon. Tell both of those guys to take two steps to the right, tell Carlos to crowd the foul line, and everything's gravy. Beltran still has a strong arm, so adding him in right would be similar to adding former Royal outfielder Jeff Francoeur, with slightly less range. I'd say that mild downgrade is well-worth a new team leader in homers and RBIs.
All this makes Beltran a good fit, but clearly not a perfect one. Like I've raved about on several occasions, improving the offense is a must, but changing the pitching rotation puts everything at risk for 2014. Signing Santana should still be the Royals' paramount goal. If they're unable to do so, the Royals should go after Beltran full-force. If they sign him, Glass will take another huge step toward likability, from the murky cave of fan hatred he's been slowly crawling out of for years.
If the Royals sign Beltran and Santana, I'll eat this keyboard, and I'll do it with a smile on my face.

DJ Spinderella net worth, wiki & biography:
Deidra Roper, popularly known as DJ Spinderella has about a $10 million net worth. To get a replacement after DJ Latoya Hanson left the group, auditions were held and hundreds of aspiring disc jockeys came, hoping to fill the place. Deidra managed to hit the jackpot when she was elected to be a member of an all female rap act. She beat TV personality, Wendy Williams who also aspired for the said place.
DJ Spinderella Net Worth $10 Million
Sixteen at that time, Deidra took on the screen name "Spinderella." Since Deidera was a minor through that time, there was a reverse and she wants her parents' permission to join the nationwide tour. After getting her parents' approval, Deidera and her group Salt 'N' Pepa became the in demand group ever, selling over 15 million singles and albums globally. Her parents can proudly say that at least 6 of their singles were certified either platinum or gold. Deidera does not only focus on spinning record decks, hence, she is also a producer of several topnotch tunes for the group's album. Furthermore, in the late 90's, Deidera opened a beauty salon, same time when her group released their final album "Brand New." Salt 'N' Pepa disbanded in 2002.

Hello there Folks
Do you guys paint your optic holders (optic side) instead of leaving them black?
Seems like a metallic silver (something reflective) or white would be better???? or am I thinking wrong?
I know the optic will direct the light out the front, but it seems like it could help.....

My name is Fanny Carreño Alonso. I am from Venezuela.
I am grateful with Literary Advance, the place where I have been studying English since I was in the 3rd level.
It has excellent teachers and all the people who works there are volunteers. We can study there with no cost, and the most important thing with a lot of love.
Everybody there take care of us, they know all the students, and they treat us with special care.
The teachers are excellent, very kind and patient .They know our necessities and treat us with love and consideration.
I learned there to read, to write, to speak. I already finished all the levels, but we need to continue improving our learning.
Now I belong to the Alumni group where we improve our English conversation, pronunciation, and understanding with our excellent teachers Kristina & Anna. We share with our teachers and with our classmates too, our experiences, and we go out some times to practice our English with other people or to learn other activities having fun.
This school is amazing! I tell to everybody the great experience that I have had in my life, studying English there.
Now I can read, speak, and write in English. I can help my grandchildren in their home works, read books, help people, watch movies, etc.
Thank you so much to all people who works in Literary Advance! Their Job is incredible and it is priceless!
God Bless all of you,
I found Literacy Advance on Internet. I was looking for a possibility to improve my English. It was few months ago. Now I'm thinking that there is no better place for me. There is a great atmosphere, with absolutely amazing people. All tutors work as a volunteer and they are really, really engaged in this position. I improved my English. One of my friend goes to the computer class, and another goes to learn more about Microsoft Word 2010. So this is the place for learning different skills!!

James White (LinkedIn) – James has over 10 years of experience in developing and maintaining Java Architectures. As part of prior roles James has experience managing both on and off shore teams. He's also recently been certified as an Accenture Certified Technical Architect and currently leads Performance Engineering teams within Accenture. The views in this article are purely those of the authors and not those of his employer.
Overview – The Java Performance Book is very near and dear to me. It was just over three years ago, when I was looking for a good book on Java Diagnostics and how to go about tuning the JVM that I happened to stumble across "Java Performance" by Charlie Hunt and Binu John. This book provided me good insight into Java Performance and how to go about optimizing the Java Virtual Machine for high performance. I sincerely felt that this was the first book on Java diagnostics that truly spoke to me as a developer.
Much of what I read up to that point seemed abstract and didn't seem to provide immediate help on the issue at hand. "Java Performance" by Charlie Hunt and Binu John helped me understand the issues i was facing and helped me identify root causes of the issues only after going through the first few chapters. I primarily focused on the Java SE and JVM portions of the book, because that was pretty much what I needed for the tasks at hand, at that point in time. However, I found myself compelled to go back and read this book cover to cover and found the coverage on other aspects of Java such as Java EE, EJB 2.1 & 3.0, Web Services, etc. were also highly useful and informative.
Designed For The Java Performance Engineer – I would highly recommend, "Java Performance" by Charlie Hunt and Binu John to every Java expert out there who has a responsibility to diagnose, trouble shoot and tune Java Applications along with the underlying software and hardware that runs them. This book does an excellent job of providing deep information on how to benchmark and profile applications, along with how to "warm-up" the JVM for optimal performance. While this is good, it goes a step further by providing the reader good, solid Java code examples that allow you to experiment and gain deeper knowledge of finding performance issues.
The Table Of Content for "Java Performance" includes –
- Strategies, Approaches, and Methodologies
- Operating System Performance Monitoring
- JVM Overview
- JVM Performance Monitoring
- Java Application Profiling
- Java Application Profiling Tips and Tricks
- Tuning the JVM, Step by Step
- Benchmarking Java Applications
- Benchmarking Multitier Applications
- Web Application Performance
- Web Services Performance
- Java Persistence and EJB
- Appendix A – JVM Command Line Options of Interest
- Appendix B – Source Code for Profiling Tips and Tricks
Caveats – "Java Performance" by Charlie Hunt and Binu John provides a wealth of information on topics related to Java Diagnostics, Tuning and Optimization. The book will help anyone who is tasked with troubleshooting, diagnosing and optimizing the system for high performance. However there were a few things in "Java Performance" that might not appeal to everyone:
- Focuses on Oracle/Sun Products – The testing tool used in the book is Solaris Studios Performance Analyzer. Performance Analyzer only works in UNIX environments and is only supported in a small subset of UNIX operating systems. However, VisualVM and JConsole are also discussed which do work in Windows environments. For the Java EE and web server based examples Glassfish and its tool set are the only ones discussed.
- Very UNIX centered – There are a few pages dedicated to Windows performance monitoring, but 95 percent of this book is dedicated to Unix. With that said the code examples can be applied on any operating system that runs Java.
- Slightly dated material – This book is awesome if you are working with Java SE 6 or Java EE 5/6, but becomes slightly outdated for Java 7 and 8 based programming. REST based web services are not discussed in the Web Services Chapter.
- If you are into specific formulas you probably won't find them – While there are chapters that get into the statistical analysis and formulas. You won't find long detailed explanations of Little's Law or Queuing Theory. This book focuses on what you need to test and diagnosis Java based issues.
Overall, if you want to learn the tips and tricks that come with JVM tuning and writing better performing code, for Java SE, Java EE, Web Services, and EJB programming, "Java Performance" by Charlie Hunt and Binu John is a must read. Most of what you will pick up from this book will carry forward to Java 7 & 8, and the code examples are worth the price of the book alone. This book should be a part of any Java Developer or Java based Performance Engineer's library, especially if the applications you work with are written in Java 6.

Internet of Things Interoperability
Feb 01, 2016, 20:23 ET from ReportBuyer
LONDON, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Interoperability between devices is imperative. Consumers expect it. Value-added services require it. Business interests, however, often impede it. This report outlines the importance of interoperability, the different technologies used by each player in the smart home, and how interoperability solutions are shaping the future of the smart home.
1.0 Introduction
Home networks are one of the key building blocks that enable today's smart home systems. As new protocols and interoperability frameworks enter the market, competing for adoption, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and smart home service providers must decide which protocols or alternative technologies will best enable expansion of their product and service capabilities. The technical merits of each of the protocols, while important, are just one point of consideration. In many cases, the business implications of selecting a home network technology define the limits and future potential of each player in the value chain and, therefore, play a much more important role in a manufacturer or service provider's decision process. Smart products and smart home systems are disruptive elements in the connected home marketplace.
The ability of disparate products to interoperate in the home – that is, to share data, and to take coordinated action -- plays a key role in determining the winners and losers in the smart home. Connectivity opens the door to dozens, if not dozens of dozens, of new value propositions for products, making interoperability not just an important differentiator, but a requirement for survival. The business objectives of the many players in the smart home are often not aligned. Understanding the primary business goals and how different technology choices support different business goals is essential to evaluating the relative strengths and weaknesses of wireless home network technologies. This report evaluates interoperability from the perspective of home control and monitoring applications. It addresses the current state of interoperability between home area network technologies and cloud-based solutions; and how those technologies will evolve over time. The report assesses the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities awaiting both smart device makers and smart system platform vendors.
1.1 Key Questions & Issues Addressed
This report addresses the following questions and issues:
- How will application standards impact competing network protocols?
- Will protocols transition to IP at the network layer?
- How will the transition to IP impact competing network protocols?
- How will new protocols impact the market?
- How will cloud-based solutions and APIs impact home networks?

Point-velocity of a turbulent flow
Dear all:
I am trying something in Fluent which has been bothering me for days.
I have a turbulent flow and some fixed monitoring points. If I plot the velocity as a function of flow time for any of those points I should expect random velocity right? However what I get is a smooth sinusoidal wave. I tried to reduce the time step because I thought maybe because it is time-averaged. I still get the same almost perfect sinusoidal wave.
Is it even possible to capture the velocity fluctuation with fluent or any other CFD programs? If yes, how should I do it? I am really desperate to know. Thanks in advance.:(
