Review by nicx27
This is a fascinating, if somewhat implausible, story of Yasmin and her deaf 10 year old daughter, Ruby. Yasmin's husband, Matt, is a wildlife photographer who has travelled to Alaska to work during the winter months. Yasmin and Ruby had arranged to meet Matt there but when they arrive Matt is missing, presumed dead. Neither his wife nor daughter believe that he is dead and they set off on an incredible journey across the bleak landscape to try and find him. Despite the fact that it is quite an implausible storyline, I loved this book. The backdrop of Alaska, particularly during a storm, is stunning and enthralling and I quite often found myself having to stop reading to marvel at it. Yasmin and Ruby are both strong females and I did admire Yasmin for her actions and Ruby's deafness adds another element to the story in her particular vulnerability. There is a real suspenseful element to the book, with a malevolent presence that is out there threatening them in their quest, and the bleak backdrop only adds to it. It's clear that Rosamund Lupton has done a great deal of research and it really helped me to try and imagine how it must have felt for the characters. This is my first of her books but I'm looking forward to reading her earlier work now.
Review by SusieH5
Absolutely brilliant!Yasmin has been told that her husband Matt has died when an Arctic village was wiped out. Matt, wildlife photographer, was based at Anaktue, an Arctic village, and the village has been wiped out, with no survivors.Yasmin is convinced there has been a mistake, and that Matt is alive, somewhere out there in the cold. She is determined to go and find Matt, taking Ruby with her. Everyone tries to dissuade her and worsening weather makes any journey towards the village inadvisable and very risky, if not impossible.Their journey is fascinating - for the accounts of the atrocious weather conditions, and for the difficulties of communication for the profoundly deaf Ruby, Highly recommended - a great read
Review by theReadingHead
The Quality of Silence is completely different to the type of books I usually read, but I may well choose others in this genre again.The book covered a number of different topic areas including things like deafness, stalking, parenting, etc. Most of which had me forming opinions and often arguing with the characters. I found the portrayal of deafness, and the strength of the youngster in dealing with it, using Twitter to give her a voice.The stalking element had me freaking out, with tangible fear for Yasmin and her daugher. Although I was fearful for the two of them throughout. I even learned loads about the Arctic and the native wildlife, which was fascinating.The book is not to badly paced, although I did find it a tad slow and tedious in places. Yasmin and her daughter are both well developed and believable too.With the fear, suspense and a few surprises, you'll be glued to this book from beginning to end. A great read for anyone. Enjoy.NB: I received this book free in return for an honest review.

Lacey Daniels wants a normal life where she can go to dinner or the mall without constantly looking over her shoulder. Unfortunately, her abusive father is out of prison and more dangerous than ever. The Hawthorne Guardians, a local motorcycle club that protected her as a child, is her only hope for normalcy. Some of the faces have changed, but the credo is the same: protect the innocent. One Guardian, Ratchet, takes an interest in more than her safety. He wants her heart.
Despite her growing feelings for Ratchet, Lacey can't escape the threat her father poses. With him free and seeking revenge, she will never be safe. Her only chance for a normal life - and maybe true love - lies with Ratchet, a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her father from hurting her again...even if it means risking his life to save her.

Superb quality map case! Great as a general purpose watertight case, splash-proof.Made with 4 corner eyelets for easy attachment to just about anything. The Katuna is the only case in the range which is not sealed by an Aquaclip. It uses a heavy-duty red-line seal and is therefore watertight but not for submersion. More

Rock it with Confidence:Scalloped Edges & Vibrant Blue #fabfound
2 comments
I loved scalloped hems. Those shorts are fantastic. I think it would give me more confidence if I were to make more of my videos in dressing room areas (like the one at Marshalls) until I got comfortable with it. In the post I did two days ago you can hear the nervousness in my voice in the embedded selfie fashion video.ReplyDelete
Edwina, you have gorgeous legs and these scalloped shorts are the perfect way to show them off. What a great idea to match the sports bra to the heels as well.ReplyDelete
Another Beautiful Thing
THANK YOU to everyone for making me laugh and smile everyday! I love reading every comment and will always do my best to reply!
Love Always,

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES — The exploitation of U.S. refugee and visa programs by potential terrorists was the subject of a hearing last week before the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Throughout the hearing – titled "Crisis of Confidence: Preventing Terrorist Infiltration through U.S. Refugee And Visa Programs" – government officials in charge of visa controls and national security elaborated on the use of social media as an added screening tool for refugees and K1 fiancé visa applicants. This measure, in its initial pilot stage, should be expanded to all 10,000 Syrian refugees admitted this year, as well as Iraqi refugees and eventually all immigrants. For now, officers are conducting manual social media vetting, but experts are looking for technological solutions for the longer term.
Based on the following excerpts from the witness statements, here's the deal. The U.S. government is going to hire more people, spend more money, deploy more resources to vet more and more immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees (unaccompanied minors from Central America have just been added to the list of people we "need" to bring in). And this, despite the fact that the system is already backlogged, staff is overwhelmed, and the budget is tight. As usual, it is the American citizen and the legal immigrant who will pick up the tab in order to keep up with this administration's overseas humanitarian enthusiasms.
Regarding social media, here's Leon Rodriguez, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):

RE-EDUCATE YOUR MATE - "Abandoned Love" AKA Sally. Sally is a very quiet 6yo Mare. She is approximately 15.3 hands and was retired from racing in April 2017 (very sound, no issues). Maddi Rhodes has been re-educating her and she is proving to be very easy to work with, and we feel she would ideally suit a teen or lady rider who is looking for a pony club or adult riding club mount. Sally is so easy to handle, very quite and very loving. Every time Maddi has ridden her lately, she comments how quickly she learns. This mare wants to please. An approved home is sought to continue with her education. She is now offered for sale for $1,000. Phone Dianne on 0408 281144

"This book is one more sign of a fresh movement in the church."
Shane Claiborne
author, The Irresistible Revolution
Dillon Burroughs has defended the faith as a writer, speaker, and professor. But when he asked himself how he was helping a homeless guy in his city or a hungry family in Darfur, everything started to unravel. Now, with renewed vision, disarming candor, and deep respect for the church, Burroughs gently leads readers through a reassessment of hot-button topics like these:
- Jesus was a friend of sinners and consumed alcohol. How did that work?
- He also said to love neighbors, sinners, and enemies. Does loving homosexuals fit in there somewhere?
- Why are the odds in America stacked against the success of a traditional marriage?
Burroughs provides a safe place for spiritually minded and culturally savvy people to process their questions and find a more relevant and Christlike faith.
Author Bio▼▲
Dillon Burroughs is an activist and the author or coauthor of nearly 30 books on issues of faith and culture, including the groundbreaking Undefending Christianity. Dillon has served among at-risk American youth, constructed housing in Mexico's barrios, provided aid relief in Haiti, and was most recently nominated for a CNN Hero award for his efforts to fight human trafficking. His written and edited works have been featured by NPR, MSNBC, ABC News, and other media outlets.

The Citizen Campaign Commission delivered its second biennial report on voter-owned elections to city council this afternoon. The report itself is pretty vanilla, but the issue of voter-owned elections is really going to heat up next year when it's likely to go before the voters in a referendum.
Voter-owned elections have had a checkered history since they started in Portland back in 2005: Former council candidate Emilie Boyles ran off with the public money in 2006 and is yet to pay any of it back, for example. On the other hand last November, City Commissioner Amanda Fritz won election to council using public funds. Go democracy!
Under the system, any candidate can get public money to run a political campaign if they collect enough signatures and $5 contributions. The aim is to reduce the amount of money spent on political campaigns, increase the diversity of viable candidates and reduce the influence of special interests in Portland politics.
The report makes a series of recommendations including better training for candidates on the process, shortening the qualifying period for candidates, and tightening up the financial rules so that polling done before an election begins would count towards the public financing limit—blurring around this issue caused controversy during the 2008 mayoral election.
Then came the burning question.
"If we were to refer the voters in 2010, do you have a recommendation on the timing of that referral?" asked City Commissioner Nick Fish of auditor Gary Blackmer.
Fish beat a publicly-funded candidate, Jim Middaugh, in last November's election. He's also up for reelection next year and, ahem, has faced questions in the past about the effect of campaign donations on his decision making on the sit/lie ordinance. It's unclear whether he plans to take an active role in the referral effort next year, but he has always been a vocal questioner of voter-owned elections on the apparent principle that he's too independent to be influenced by money.
Blackmer said he thought it might be best to refer the idea to voters next November, after Fish's reelection campaign is over, but the CCC agreed to take a look at the idea over the coming months. Fish then brought up his concerns about voter-owned elections, in a possible precursor to next year's referendum debate.
"I've been on this body almost a year," said Fish. "I have come to appreciate the fact that my colleagues are very independent people, and I'm constantly surprised by how independent. And I regularly see my colleagues cast votes that seem to go against the people who elected and supported them, and I say that almost without exception."
"But the one premise I still don't understand is the notion that large contributions render politicians beholden to the contributor, and I think that's an interesting point, it's just something that I haven't experienced," he said.
"I guess as an auditor I'm very sensitive to appearance and potential conflicts of interest," said Auditor Gary Blackmer. "And we look at all those things that can undermine organizational credibility. I've been trained in the fact that appearance is a critical element for a public body or a public official. I don't think anywhere we've said that the city council was compromised in its decision-making, but polling of the public has shown consistently that they think money influences politics." More after the jump.
"The public always sees that money as a suspicious linkage that you have with a special interest," Blackmer continued.
Fish said he's maybe just troubled by the word 'beholden.' "I just want to push back gently on the broad perception that people are 'beholden'," he said.
"I find it very reassuring that you say that," said CCC chair Leslie Hildula. "But if you look back at the history of Portland Politics, it has not always been that way."
"Just because there's a perception that something is the case doesn't necessarily mean it is the case," said Commissioner Randy Leonard. "For example people think I am beholden to the fire union, but Commissioner Fritz was endorsed last time by the fire union and I was not. We make decisions every day that make some of our supporters so angry that they won't endorse us again."
"We could have a long philosophical discussion about perceptions versus reality, but I think everyone would accept that politics has allowed the intermingling of perceptions and reality," said Blackmer.
"I'm stuck in reality," Leonard struck back.
"Voter-owned elections continue to be a top priority for our members," said Bus Project board member Jake Oken-Berg. "The program is a shining example of Portland leading the nation as a progressive city. It forces campaigns to put a premium on person to person contact, particularly in the initial stages of any campaign."
"I think there's a risk in over-generalizing about the role of money in politics," said Fish. "I do think that our system is a little different. We're not the state legislature, and there's an unprecedented level of transparency in city government."
All the same, I like voter-owned elections. I think they do what they're intended to do, and also, they hold the incumbent city commissioners accountable for their election promises. I'm looking forward to next year's debate, and to following this issue closely over the coming months.

The Institute of Financial Planners of Hong Kong is committed to fostering professional standards for practitioners in the areas of competency and ethical practice, writes Bernard Wan
The Institute of Financial Planners of Hong Kong (IFPHK) was founded in 2000 by obtaining the backing of 30 corporate members representing major financial services companies in banking, insurance and asset management. With the support of these founding members, it developed into a professional self-regulatory organization within two years. Now it boasts 1,500 members, 330 of whom are Certified Financial Planner (CFP) licensees registered with the Institute as ordinary members who bear full ethical responsibilities towards the public, clients and employers.
The fourteenth affiliate member of the International CFP Council, the Institute is authorized by the CFP Board in the US to be the sole licensing authority for administering the CFP certification process in Hong Kong.
Customers first
"The whole concept of financial planning is based on the idea of "customers first" - understand your customers' needs by seeking out what they need through analysis and assessment and help them make informed decisions," Henry Lam, President of the IFPHK, explains about the fundamental responsibilities of a professional financial planner.
To become a CFP licensee, a candidate must have fulfilled the certification requirements known as the 4E qualifying procedure - Education, Examination, Experience and Ethical Conduct Compliance.
To meet the education requirements, a candidate can enroll in a six-module course with any of the three local universities designated by the Institute. "We pulled in local and overseas academic experts to develop the courses with us. Our primary role is to monitor the competency level of the candidates enrolled in the courses and uphold the quality of the courses delivered by the universities," emphasizes Mr Lam. "With the CFP qualifications gaining increasing momentum in Hong Kong, we expect to see more education providers offering more course options in the near future and wider recognition of the CFP certification from the public and professional bodies."
Professional quality assurance
Twice the Institute has administered the certification exam, which is based on the US model. Approximately 160 candidates took the exam in 2001 and 1050 in 2002, with pass rates of 33 per cent and 23 per cent respectively. Mr Lam explains that although the pass rate of the exam is not comparable with an average of 50 to 60 per cent in the US, their CFP program has been in existence for much longer and supporting materials for the exam are probably more readily available.
Mr Lam admits that he was pleasantly surprised by the large number of candidates sitting for the June exam. He expects to see more candidates registering in December, as the Institute allows degree holders with three years' relevant work experience to enter the exam for the last time with the exemption of the stipulated education requirements. He says: "After this year, only candidates with professional qualifications recognized by the IFPHK, such as certified public accountants (CPAs) and lawyers, will be entitled to sit for the 10-hour integrated certification examination that spans over two whole days without going through the formal education requirements."
International endeavors
The IFPHK closely collaborates with the other 16 licensing institutes governed by the International CFP Council. Currently, there are about 70,000 CFP practitioners worldwide. "Representatives from the 17 licensing institutes meet twice a year to determine global strategy, share information on financial planning developments and learn new ideas," says Mr Lam. The IFPHK is on a mission to make reciprocal arrangements with all affiliate CPF licensing institutes across the world for the conversion of the CPF certification marks issued by individual licensing institutes.
In line with its founding objectives, the IFPHK will focus on recruiting members and promoting the profession of financial planning to the public and practitioners in the financial service industry through a series of marketing activities and large-scale seminars. "Continuing professional education will be another direction of future development. At present our associate members and CFP licensees need to undergo 10 and 15 hours of continuing education per year respectively to maintain their licenses. Right now we're planning to introduce more continuing professional education courses to comply with this prevailing trend," emphasizes Mr Lam.
New directions
The IFPHK has a significant international presence. "We represent Hong Kong in an international technical committee established to define and enforce global ISO standards in financial planning; through the participation we hope to understand the trends of international development and see how Hong Kong can accommodate the development, " says Mr Lam. The IFPHK has also joined a task force set up by the CFP Board to offer advice on introducing and promoting financial planning on the Mainland. "We feel that it is our obligation to help accelerate the pace of the profession's development on the Mainland. We also hope to give direction to Hong Kong practitioners when they look for opportunities in China."
Lam is optimistic about the future of the profession in Hong Kong. "When the market is mature with more financial products available, CFP practitioners will become fully recognized for their professional prestige and credibility, like doctors and lawyers." He foresees that some years from now, consultancy firms run by independent financial planners will emerge in Hong Kong, offering professional financial consultation and services similar to their counterparts in the US and Australia.

BRISBANE'S Story Bridge is now closed for for road works.
It closed at midnight and will stay shut until 5am on January 6, with all six lanes of the bridge closed to allow "essential resurfacing works" to be undertaken.
But council has warned that the following two weekends - January 10-13 and January 17-20 - may also be needed for works, should poor weather or unforeseen circumstances impede progress.
"These works are required as the current surface of the Story Bridge is approaching the end of its useful life, and the need for ad-hoc repairs will become increasingly disruptive to traffic," an online council advisory reads.
"Previous resurfacing works were undertaken in 1994."
The walkways and the popular climbing attraction will remain open.
While detours will send traffic elsewhere, the Go Between Bridge and Clem7 will be free during the closure.
The works include removing the top layer of asphalt pavement, sealing the underlying asphalt and setting down a fresh surface and lines markings.
Council says the timing was based on past traffic volumes for the same period in previous years - which have traditionally seen a reduction in flows of up to a quarter.
Warmer temperatures were also noted, which better suit the laying of the asphalt.
The works are expected to reduce the need for "reactive bridge maintenance" and provide a tougher surface.
"Council has warned that the works are likely to be "quite noisy" due to the use of profiling machines and jackhammers," it said via its website.
"There will be noise from reversing vehicles at various times throughout the weekend. Unfortunately the reversing beepers cannot be turned off due to safety requirements."
Public transport will also be disrupted, with northbound bus routes detoured, including the 227, 232 and 234.

The Girl's Guide to Fantasy Football
Last week my sister's boyfriend was telling me about their recent vacation to New York, and he said something that completely shocked me. "Wednesday night we had our fantasy football drafts, so we stayed in and did that," he explained nonchalantly. Hold up. Since when has my sister, who prefers to spend her Sundays reading about inequality and social strife in the Dominican Republic, gotten into fantasy football?! She's always cared more about Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz than the NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, so what gives? When I asked her about it, she said, "One way to make your boyfriend have the biggest smile you've ever seen is to tell him you're joining a fantasy football league." She's not alone—it feels like all everyone is talking about right now is fantasy football. But what exactly is fantasy football? Why are men and women across the nation getting excited about their league picks? Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about fantasy football.
As Wikipedia describes it, fantasy football "is a statistical game in which players compete against each other by managing groups of real players selected from American football teams." The game was founded in 1962 by Wilfred Winkerbach, an Oakland-based businessman and partner in the Oakland Raiders. Due to the time-consuming nature of the game's scoring, fantasy football was slow to spread, yet it gradually built a following. Scores would be printed days after a game in the local newspapers. However, it wasn't until 1997, when CBS launched a free fantasy football website, that the game really took off. Within a couple of years, every major sports media outlet had its own fantasy football league website, and today it is the most important marketing tool for the NFL. More than 19 million people compete online nationally, and every outlet from Yahoo to ESPN has its own fantasy football app.
There are all sorts of different leagues. Wikipedia lists out over 10 different kinds, but the ideal number of people in a league is 12. This way each team ends up with a nice mix of players. The person in charge of the league is the commissioner. A good commissioner is organized, on top of things, and motivational. It is up to the commissioner to ensure that people are paying attention to their players and teams. Injuries, bye weeks, and sexual harassment charges are all things that can alter your team's roster. The commissioner is also responsible for coordinating the league, collecting league dues, and enforcing weekly and season-long punishments.
In fantasy football, you are the general manager of your own football team. You decide which players you want to own, then you select the players from real NFL teams. The players' real-life statistics allow you to compete against other teams to see which owner does the best job. ESPN explains it like this: "As the football season unfolds, each week, the on-field performance of the players you have decided to put into your starting lineup will help determine the success or failure of your fantasy team. It's up to you to bench slumping players, to work the waiver wire to grab that hot free agent, or to try to wheel and deal to get rid of that aging veteran before the wheels fall off, in exchange for a rookie about to catch fire."
Since we are in the first week of football, drafts need to be made soon. Your first draft can be somewhat stressful. Everything is automatically generated by the computer. Each manager is given a number; if there are 12 people in your league, you'll get a number assigned: one, two, three, four, etc. One chooses first and so on and so forth, down to 12. Most drafts are snake drafts where you count up to 12, then go back down from there—so whoever draws 12 gets to make two picks in a row. Note that there is normally a time limit for you to make a player decision, so you need to think quickly.
Although it depends on your league rules, in general, each week you play a quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, a tight end, and a kicker. All of these players are on the offensive team. For defense, you choose one team's entire squad, be it the 49ers, Colts, or Steelers defensive teams. You also have up to five players on your bench at any given time. It's a good strategy to have a backup quarterback.
Note that if you have the players on your bench and they end up playing and doing well, you don't get the fantasy football points. Points are given purely on the players' statistical output. Wikipedia breaks it down like this: "A touchdown might be worth six points while each yard passed, rushed, or carried may be worth a certain amount of points, and so on. In most cases, players earn points for passing, rushing, and receiving yards." The fantasy league lasts through the entire regulation season of football. The manager with the best record wins the league. (Smack talk is encouraged in fantasy football, and many groups of friends have been playing together for years, so if you are new to the sport, cut yourself some slack and just have fun.)
A huge part of fantasy is the financial rewards and the embarrassing things season losers are required to endure. League dues are a form of monetary buy-in to participate and typically go toward a championship reward. League dues can be used to reward the season champion and the second and third place finishers. They can also reward weekly high scorers a smaller amount of money, which offers an opportunity to recoup your league buy-in even if you don't make the playoffs.
League dues can be as low as $20 to $50, or into the hundreds. Some leagues increase their dues each season. Punishments for coming in last place are very common as well. They range from an astrology letter to the league, to conducting next year's draft in your underwear, to actual tattoos. There are weekly low-scorer punishments like changing your team name and logo, too.
A superstar quarterback isn't the only thing you need in fantasy football to succeed. You'll also need wide receivers. Since these are the guys who actually score the touchdowns, they often get the most points in fantasy leagues. However, a strong running back will score more consistent points. It's important to look at what kind of team your fantasy players are on. If it is a team with a good running back and mediocre quarterback, then it will rely more heavily on the running back and not as much on the wide receivers.
Pay attention to the schedules. If you draft a starting quarterback and know he has week seven off, then when you decide it's time to select his backup, make sure to draft someone who isn't also off that same week—otherwise you won't have a quarterback playing! Practically everything that real managers do, you can also do in fantasy leagues. Want to trade that poorly playing tight end? Go right ahead. Ready to take things to the next level with that free agent? Scoop him right up.
Are you in a fantasy football league?

Q. We have an apparent conflict between our union agreement and our responsibility to maintain a harassment-free workplace. The agreement says we must give the shop steward 48 hours' notice before dismissing a regular employee. But we have proof positive that two employees have been harassing—and continue to harass—African-American and gay employees. The two harassers have just caused us to lose a good employee who couldn't take it any longer. What trumps what? —J.V., Louisiana
A. Union obligations can conflict with legal obligations, but there is no rule of thumb as to what trumps what. In this case, you may run into a problem with the union if you have known about the harassment for more than two days but failed to take action sooner or to give the union notice of your plans to discharge the workers.
Two options to consider: (1) Talk to the union steward now about the situation and your need to act. He or she may concur that 48-hour notice is impractical under the circumstances, particularly if the harassment is egregious. (2) Notify the steward of the dismissal and put the workers on leave for the 48-hour period if that wouldn't conflict with the agreement.
Given the potential conflict between union obligations and legal obligations in the area of harassment, consider addressing this issue in your next round of collective bargaining.

This is done by adding to or deducting from the valuation of personal property and each class of real property in each township and city an amount that represents 50% of true cash value as required by State statute.
Real Property
In the residential class, the department uses sales data from a 24-month or 12-month period. Staff directly compares it to assessments to determine whether the residential property class has been equally and uniformly assessed at 50% of true cash value. Appraisal studies are done in the other classes of real property where sufficient sales are not available. In these classes, a sample is selected to be representative of the entire class of property. Professionals then set up property record cards, collect the field data and determine the true cash value of each property selected. The studies are then subject to review, audit and change by the Michigan State Tax Commission. The Equalization Department does not determine individual assessments or taxable values. Instead, the appraisals made by the Equalization Staff are used to determine the total true cash value of each classification of property.
Personal Property
A reviewer conducts a review of a sample of the personal property in each township and city to determine whether the personal property in the respective townships and cities has been equally and uniformly assessed at 50% of the true cash value.
By June 20th annually the county equalization director reports to Michigan Treasury the taxable value of ad valorem and special acts personal property for each taxing jurisdiction within the county. This information in used in the reimbursement calculations for the Small Taxpayer and the Eligible Manufacturing Personal Property Exemption Loss.
Other Duties
The department also calculates millage rollback fractions required by law (Headlee, Truth in Assessing, Truth in County Equalization and Truth in Taxation) and provides assistance to local assessing officers and other organization when requested.
The Equalization Department produces the following reports found on this website, please see links above:

Dell'Arte International has a variety of scholarship partnerships that make it possible to offer some limited scholarships to students. The list below is all of the scholarships that we interface with directly. Most US students pay for their tuition and housing through a combination of Federal loans and personal savings.
Jane Hill was a Co-Founder of Dell'Arte, where – among other roles – she taught melodrama. Her leadership in the performing arts has included Executive Director for Opera Omaha, the Sacramento Philharmonic, and the Eureka Symphony. Jane's consulting business—artSMART—serves non-profit organizations with a variety of workshops. Past awards include the Greater Omaha YWCA Woman of Vision Award, the Arts on the Green Award for arts service, and being named Arts Executive of the Year by the Sacramento Arts & Business Council. Theatre continues to be her first love. In 2017, Jane directed a much-praised production of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" for Ferndale Repertory Theatre.
First Recipients:
African-Canadian Henry Shikongo received the first Jane Hill Scholarship in 2013. Previous to his Dell'Arte training, he received a MFA in Acting from the Institute of Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University, and is now a professional actor/teacher at SUNY Oswego.
Iranian native Vida Tayebati graduated with a MFA in 2016. Prior to discovering Dell'Arte, she was studying theatre and devising new works in covert locations in Tehran. After she investigated different theatre programs in Europe, she discovered Dell'Arte's unique physical theatre program and ventured to Blue Lake contributing her courage on and off the stage.
Eligibility is contingent upon acceptance to the program; if you wish to be considered, please contact Dell'Arte's Director of Admissions, Matt Chapman, within two weeks of your acceptance to the program.
Selection is determined by a combination of both merit and need.
Applicants will be required to submit a FAFSA form and a one-page statement of financial need. Recipients will be announced in June.
Non-US citizens/permanent residents and foreign students are not eligible for this scholarship. However, please see our list of other scholarships on this page for more information.
recipient from the Irene Ryan Acting Contest Finalists. The Kennedy Center funds the student's tuition, travel, and housing for the Dell'Arte Summer Intensive Workshop.
Financial Aid
Students at Dell'Arte who are US citizens and enrolled in either the Professional Training Program or the Master of Fine Arts Degree program are eligible to apply for Federal student loans. To begin the process, visit www.fafsa.com to fill out the free application. The school's FAFSA code is 030256.
External Scholarships
The Fulbright Foundation: International students should search online for "Fulbright" plus the name of your country. Fulbright has different programs in each country, and you'll have to do research to determine if they might be able to support your training at Dell'Arte. We have had Fulbright scholars attend the school with that funding in the past.

Sometimes you don't have to go far to enjoy the beauty of life, the company of friends, the best of food.
We wanted to go to Kelowna for Thanksgiving but alas, due to my school schedule, we couldn't. So after looking around for places to stay near Vancouver, we ended up in Richmond but somehow it felt like we were somewhere else, perhaps Hong Kong or Taiwan.
Richmond is just a stone throw away from where we all live but we haven't explored much of it yet, especially as a group.
Turned out, it was the perfect place to be for us. We ate and ate, played games, shared life frustrations, experimented with 360 camera, stayed up all night. Sometimes it really does not matter where you go, it's the people that make the difference.
Places we went to:
- Claypot Hotpot: fancy three tier hot pot, steam, BBQ. It comes up to $30ish for each. All you can eat. Average quality of items.
- Excellent Tofu: we went for desserts at 9:30pm and got seats right away. Spent about $5 each.
- Jade Restaurant: we called an hour before coming in and they were able to reserve a table for us. Try the radish cake, it's extra delicious here.
- Hou Lok: late night congee and other greasy snacks. Order $30 worth of stuff, get 1 free large congee.

Saturday Songs (Sorry, I forgot Tuesday Tunes)
Here's what I was listening to during my three weeks in Melbourne. Sorry for the lack of dispatches. I had these grand plans that were completely derailed by that shitty flu/cold thing that was going around.
Heard this in a store. I actually Shazam'd it. It was groovy.
My Aussie roommate will out me on this one anyway: I could not stop singing/humming this for the last 48 hours. No idea how it started. But it happened. Not proud.
THE band that I kept going back to. Their new album is, no surprise, great.
I am seeing them later this month so I am crazy excited and trying to memorize all the new stuff in the same way their first seven albums are scrawled on my heart.
At some point during my stay in Melbourne did I stand in the middle of a street in Fitzroy yelling "SHE DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE JESUS BUT HE TALKS LIKE A HURRICANE" over and over and over again while waiting for a tram? (Note: Those are not the actual lyrics).

Understanding Laptop Specifications - A Chart Guide to Laptop Specifications and Features
For most people, a laptop is a very cherished possession. It's portability means you can have it with you anywhere and that you can get your work going, anytime. For some users, the laptop is a key work tool, literally the office. That's why it's important to choose a laptop carefully. People's needs vary and you want to be sure that your laptop will serve your purpose, effectively.
If you are not an IT geek, the world of laptop computers and their specifications could prove confusing. Our article on choosing a laptop provides much insight into the critical issues that could bother prospective laptop buyer. The chart we provide here takes it a step further, delivering a graphic summary of the laptop selection factors that you should pay attention to. When you evaluate a laptop's specifications, you should be looking out for how it rates on these critical parameters, vis-a-vis your identified need:
Chances are that you have a preference for a certain brand of laptops. Most people do. Whichever brand of laptop you choose to buy, these important laptop specifications will still count. You have to be sure you are picking a notebook that rates well on the performance factors. This chart explains each laptop feature and suggests the level of performance you could be aiming for..

Social Question
(NSFW) Would a hologram be considered cheating (see details)?
Asked by JeSuisRickSpringfield (4473) May 18th, 2012
Imagine we had the technology to create virtual environments akin to the holodecks of Star Trek. For all intents and purposes, the holographic objects in these environments would look and feel exactly like real objects—including the people. If you were to create a holographic person to have sex with, would this just be a form of extremely realistic masturbation? Or would your significant other(s) have grounds for accusing you of cheating?

If we've told you once, we've told you a thousand times: don't let your girlfriend (or wife) get a personal trainer! This is a no-brainer...especially if the personal trainer is ripped. Just take a look at Jax Slayher. He's 6' 4", 190 pounds of pure man. Karlee Grey can't be more excited about Jax! He's her new personal trainer! What happened to the old one? Well...Karlee's boyfriend got really jealous, so he was fired. Karlee hired Jax because...well...take a look at him. She couldn't wait to see what was in his pants, either. And sure enough, Jax has a slab of monster meat between his legs, too! Watch as a professional training session turns into a BBC session, in which Karlee's multiple orgasms burn hundreds and hundreds of calories!

text: Hi all Today I plugged my Desire in to the USB socket, to top up the charge, and noticed the little USB icon/logo thing that usually shows up on the top left of the Desire's screen wasn't there. I checked in the phone's settings and it is still set to ask me what to do when I plug it in. I have tried a couple of leads (including the one HTC gave me) as well as both front and back USB ports. My PC is running windows 7 and it plays the chime when I plug my phone in, it also appears in devices/printers but when I right click the phone and choose browse files it is greyed out! I have tried uninstalling the drivers etc, restarting the PC, I even tried to plug the phone into my netbook (running Ubuntu, which used to recognise the phone) but nothing works! It is not really the end of the world but I would like to sort it. PS The phone charges when I plug it in the USB socket on the PC Can any1 help? ETA: Problem solved, sorry everyone, I suddenly thought 'I haven't rebooted the phone' so I did and all works as it should now, I have left my message up in case anyone else has the same problem

Special Projects
July of 2012 witnessed the kickoff of an Upper Green River Level 1 Watershed Study. The Conservation District sponsored this study which was funded by the Legislature through the Wyoming Water Development commission. While the study will have a number of extremely useful outputs, one that is important is the fact that the study contractors (Sunrise Engineering) really want to hear from landowners about possible projects which they could then evaluate, perhaps do some engineering planning, and assist in the process of seeking cost-share funding from the Water Development Commission's Small Water Development Program.
A number of funding/granting bodies require funds to be disbursed through an entity with tight accounting controls. The district serves this function on several projects, primarily assisting the Wyoming Natural Resource Foundation and FWS's Partners in Wildlife programs. Thus, we are the grant recipient for several current projects others have designed, including: Carney Wetlands, North Piney Wetlands, and Muddy Creek Spike TreatmentRaven Control Contract (completed Summer 2012)
The final report is here: 2012 Final Raven Report
There are several sets of old aerial photography in existence. The digitization of historical aerial photography will provide a reference point for cultural resource management, planning and history of land use. The 1955 series of photographs will put cultural resources into historic context and provide a basis for analysis of natural resource/habitat change over time. The ortho-rectified aerials will allow for spatial and statistical analysis of changes to land cover, adding a new dimension to change analysis. Some examples of analysis include; forest succession, habitat changes, pre and post fire vegetation regeneration, effects of irrigation and other manipulations for agricultural uses. Also documented are previous locations of roads, trails, irrigation structures, and other facilities which may be used for evaluating restoration plans and locating areas for new facilities. The series of photographs that this portion of the project covers represents the southwestern 40% of the county, dominated by BLM ownership. Subsequent projects to follow will work towards building a more complete 1955 ortho-rectified seamless image of the county. This product will be able to be employed by GIS applications and would be shared as a public domain product.

India's MNRE releases draft environmental and social management framework for solar parks
A SunEdison installation at Charanka solar park in Gujarat. Credit: American Centre Mumbai
India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has published a draft environmental and social management framework for the many utility-scale solar parks to be developed in the country.
The framework will aid developers and planners in the screening, assessment and management of environmental and social impacts at an early stage in project planning.
India has already planned 27 solar parks of 500MW or more in capacity each, with land identified in the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Uttarakhand.
As key challenges for PV developers such as land procurement and transmission infrastructure are solved by teh solar park scheme, tenders for capacity with in the parks have seen developers bid for record low tariffs in recent months.
As many solar park sub-projects have yet to be identified, the main objectives of the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) will be to:
- Establish clear procedures and methodologies for the environmental and social planning, review, approval and implementation of sub-projects
- Specify roles, responsibilities and necessary reporting procedures for managing environmental and social concerns related to sub-projects
- Determine the training, capacity building and technical assistance needed to successfully implement the provisions of the ESMF
The ESMF draft was prepared using a case study from the Multi-Gigawatt Rewa and Pavagada solar parks.
Pavagada in Karnataka, for example, was identified as having various social issues including loss of livelihood for landless labourers working in agricultural fields, low annual lease rentals and loss of access rights to common property resources.
The draft document also cites various environmental challenges at Pavagada including the protection of existing surface water resources and wildlife and hazardous waste disposal, among others.

I HAD to interview them… I just HAD to!
You see, they completed the IronMan 70.3 triathlon in Singapore last month! It is a grueling triathlon with a 1.5km swim, 90km bike ride, and a 21km run! It took them over 6 hours to complete; most of us can't even stay seated for that long, let alone do what they did!
Two young Bahraini men: Tariq Algosaibi (left in photo) and Sager Al-Khalifa (right). It makes me so proud!
** Scroll all the way down to listen to the interview **
It's such a big deal!
Seeing the two guys, you would immediately think "sure, they are muscular and young, why wouldn't they be able to do it?"
But for me the news of their completion had a bigger effect. Having been a runner myself, I know how much it takes to complete a race of this sort. When I ran the 2001 London Marathon (9 years ago to the day almost – gasp!) I didn't think anyone understood the hard work and training that goes behind an event of this sort.
IronMan triathletes have to have stamina in 3 different sports AND be able to conquer the 'mind over matter' obstacle that so many athletes fall short on.
Why the interview?
I have a lot of respect for those guys. Respect for what they have achieved and for what they stand for. They inspire me because when I see them I see passion for the sport and I see how perseverance can make you achieve anything you want. Wouldn't you like your kids to hang around people like that more often?
So, I thought I had to write about them…
Then, I realised that just writing a few paragraphs about them would not do them justice and would not make you see the 'spark' that I saw. I wanted to get into their brains and find out how they think, how they got there, and where they want to go next. I wanted them to have a voice to tell us about the experience and maybe even to inspire others who might still be in the dream stages.
What came up in the interview exceeded all my expectations! You have to listen to it to believe me!
When I first planned the interview I thought we'd talk for a few minutes about the experience and that's it. BUT NO! I couldn't stop asking questions because their answers were so fascinating! We ended up with ONE HOUR of fantastic material and insights.
Ever wonder what goes on in the mind of a triathlete while he's swimming?
Wanna know how triathletes shave off precious seconds at transitions?
Would you like to know what it feels like to 'hit the wall' and choose between a stinging pain in the heart or finishing the last leg of the race?
Wanna know what these muscular guys eat?
I will say no more. You listen for yourself and let me know what you think. And please feel free to leave your comments for Tariq and Sager below, they'll be reading them!
