A bevy of tennis pros and celebs gathered at the Kensington Roof Gardens last night for a Pre-Wimbledon party, where the tennis stars showed off their sartorial prowess off the courts.
Maria Sharapova shined in an embellished Antonio Berardi dress with a playful short hemline in front and longer one in back, which she teamed with colourful red heels, while Ana Ivanovic also got the sparkle memo and rocked a feather and bead-embellished Matthew Williamson dress and Li Na worked Giles Deacon's silver laser-cut metallic dress.
But Serena Williams went a different route, choosing a purple taffeta Burberry dress which she teamed with black sandals and wild curls.

Johannah: Magnificent Marvelous Me
"I would get upset because my brother was getting a lot of attention because he had cancer, but the book helped me with those big feelings…"
Johannah likes pizza and soccer, and she loves to read. But favorite foods and grassy fields don't figure into this nine year-old's idea of a perfect day. Ask Johannah how she'd like to spend a day doing whatever she wants, and she'll head right to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, where her little brother was a cancer patient in 2008.
"I would like to give the kids in the hospital what they want because I like to see kids in the hospital being happy even when they're going through a hard time," she says without hesitation.
This little girl with a big heart has spent much of her life around hospitals. When she was six and her brother Eric was three, Johannah saw her parents worrying over a mole that had grown on her brother's leg. He was eventually diagnosed with a rare form of cancer often confused with childhood melanoma. His diagnosis set off a string of visits to the hospital for check-ups and chemotherapy.
As her parents became fully focused on caring for Eric, Johannah suffered and began feeling unloved and invisible. Johannah no longer was able to play with Eric like she used to. She often had to sleep over at her grandma's house, and thought about Eric while playing with her cousins. At school, there were times when classmates avoided talking with Johannah when she was feeling worried or sad.
"She really didn't understand what was going on. She wasn't able to express what she was feeling at the time," her mom noticed.
So her mom signed her up for a "Siblings Like Us" group for kids who have siblings with cancer. The leader Paula used Magnificent Marvelous Me! to help her group express themselves.
"I would get upset because my brother was getting a lot of attention because he had cancer, but the book helped me with those big feelings…"
"The book helps kids organize and label their feelings. If they don't feel comfortable talking out loud, they can use the book as a kind of diary," Paula said.
The activities in the book appealed to Johannah, who loved arts and crafts. Through the book, she began to voice the frustration she felt when her mom and dad didn't have time for her. A self-portrait activity near the beginning of the book helped her focus and begin to express her feelings in a way she hadn't been able to before. Johannah now had a safe place to articulate her fears and apprehension, too.
"I would get upset because my brother was getting a lot of attention because he had cancer," Johannah said, "but the book helped me with those big feelings."
"She's now able to express her grieving feelings of sadness for her brother – as well as for other kids who are going though this," her mom said.
On the "Feelings Masks" page in her Magnificent, Marvelous Me! book, Johanna drew a half smile in the section that asked her to draw the face that she shows to others. The other half of the page features a second picture, which is supposed to show what Johannah feels deep down inside.
"I drew a full smile. Because I know that I'm loved," she said.
NOTE: To protect the child's identity\, the image does not necessarily match the story and names may or may not have been changed.

Tantawi Begins Three-Day Visit to the UK
The grand cleric of al Azhar, the top Sunni Muslim authority in the world, Sheikh Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi met in London on Tuesday British prime minister Tony Blair at no. 10 Downing Street at the start of a three-day visit to the UK aimed at enhancing dialogue and understanding with Britain's Anglican church.
A Downing Street spokesman was quoted by agencies a s saying that Tantawi represents "a strong influential voice" in the Arab world and Blair took the opportunity to voice his appreciation of the major role played by the cleric in fostering inter-faith dialogue.
The prime minister also emphasized during the meeting the importance he attaches to listening to the moderate important Islamic voices, he added.
The British leader equally reaffirmed to Tantawi that the war in Afghanistan and measures taken by the UK in the wake of September 11 were directed at terrorism and not against Islam.
Sheikh al Azhar is due to meet representatives of the Muslim leaders in Britain during a visit to the Islamic cultural center, in Regents Park, central London on Wednesday.
In the afternoon, he is scheduled to attend the ceremony of signing the "agreement of dialogue and understanding" between al Azhar and the Anglican church.
On Thursday, Tantawi will call on the heir to the British throne Prince Charles, who has consistently supported the promotion of dialogue and understanding between Islam and the west. On January 22nd, more than a dozen senior Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders from the holy land concluded an unprecedented joint declaration pledging themselves to work together for a just and lasting peace.
The agreement, to be known as the "First Alexandria Declaration of Religious Leaders of the Holy Land" was approved on that day at a landmark conference in Alexandria, chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr George Carey. (albawaba.com)

Happy Friday!!! So pumped about a long holiday weekend. A close friend of mine from college is coming in town tonight, and I will be at home with the fam for the rest of the weekend. There will be lots of relaxing and poolside lounging : ). I'll surely be wearing my new Dar Be Dar bikinis, which I am obsessed with. I'm thrilled to be collaborating with the designer of this swimwear line, Tala Raassi, who you will get to meet in an upcoming post. Tala, who has been named one of Newsweek's Most Fearless Women in the World, is an inspiration and a picture of strength. Stay tuned for my interview and more posts featuring her gorgeous and affordable swimsuits. Shop Tala's gorge Resort and Spring designs here.
It's tough to choose a favorite suit from this post, but I'm leaning toward the tan bikini, which is the Euphoria style. I love the braided detail on the sides of the bottoms. Super flattering cut. I discovered during this shoot, with my talented friend, lifestyle photographer, Kenwyn Alexander, that these swimsuits are amazing for an active lifestyle. Everything stayed in place while running and splashing through the water at Oak Mountain State Park. I can't wait to visit again - so beautiful.
I absolutely love these photos : ) Definitely some of my all time favorites. Again, I feel like these are very 'Mary'. Bravo, Kenwyn - these are dynamite.
More Dar Be Dar love to come!

Education and Psychology Department
Psychology Research Assistant
It was a great chance for me to implement the skills I gained when I studied for my degree. I was also able to learn new skills and strengthen my knowledge in the research area of Psychology.
I was really unsure which area I wanted to go into after achieving my BSc (hons) Criminological and Forensic Psychology. Doing a Research Internship has been a great stepping stone in my career. Through researching Health Anxiety I now see my future in Health Psychology.
I have met some great friends and I have received very good support from my managers. I also really enjoy research, so having a job which is also my hobby has probably been the best thing.
Learning new research skills has really prepared me for my Masters in Health Psychology more than any other job could. Through conducting interviews I have become a lot more confident, and that has really helped me out for when I'm attending job interviews myself.
Really make an impression in your interview but most importantly be yourself. If you don't feel you have a certain skill that is in the description, show you're willing to learn and develop new skills.
I have really enjoyed the whole experience as an intern. The skills and knowledge I have gained have helped me secure a job at Bupa, a job which I probably wouldn't have got if I hadn't done this internship. I have met some great people and the research I have conducted has been really successful, so all in all it has been really worth doing.

SEOUL, Jan 27 (Reuters) - South Korea said on Thursday local firms were likely to more than triple investment in developing minerals this year, as they intensify the search for rare metals in regions such as Central and South America and Africa.
About 25 South Korean firms are expected to increase 2011 investment more than threefold to $7 billion in overseas mineral resources, compared with $2.2 billion estimated for the previous year, the ministry of knowledge economy said in a statement.
Of the total, the private sector's $4.4 billion worth in spending would exceed that of the public sector.
The ministry said 39 percent of total investment would be spent on coal, as large-scale spending by POSCO (005490.KS) and KEPCO (015760.KS) continues.
Asia's fourth-largest economy will also boost investment in rare metals such as lithium and rare earths, which would account for 9 percent.
The country seeks to double self-sufficiency rates for "new strategic minerals" such as rare earths and lithium, to 10 percent in 2011 from 5.5 percent in 2010. [ID:nL3E6NF0X1] (Reporting by Ju-min Park; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

Office Grid Computing using Virtual environments – Part 5
I work in a company where we run many batch jobs processing millions of records of data each day and I've been thinking recently about all the machines that sit around each and every day doing nothing for several hours. Wouldn't it be good if we could use those machines to bolster the processing power of our systems? In this set of articles I'm going to look at the potential benefits of employing an office grid using virtualised environments.
In Part 4 we looked at using tools to ensure that we're running the latest version of the code and data sources so that obtained results are always up-to-date with the latest business information and logic.
Before deploying your grid system if there's one thing you do and one thing alone it's benchmark your current system! No matter what you tell colleagues about how much extra work your system is going to do unless you have numbers to back this up your guarantees are nothing. So,
- how many records can you process currently? Per Day? Per Hour?
- How long does it typically take to turn around a job?
- How much more capacity do you have?
There's also additional questions:
- If your processing server (or one of your processing servers) goes down how will this affect your capabilities, will you be crippled?
- What advantages do you hope/expect to get from a grid system?
- Are your office machines capable of running the jobs?
- Are your (or can you jobs be converted) to wrok in this style of running?
The last major point is to take your time on any major change like this. Update your processing code to work using the new methodology, benchmark again. Possibly set up your processing server to run a virtual machine, after all your processing server will just be another worker (just a very powerful one relatively). Allow the new process to settle.
My suggestion would be to pop into the office one weekend perform all the installations and setup. Do this just before a fortnight's holiday and leave so other poor chap to deal with the consequences… maybe not…
Deployment for a system like this needs to be slow. Despite it being relatively simple to set up this system will affect your entire office infrastructure (well the digital one). Firstly, roll out to a couple of machines at a time, monitor network traffic, how the worker hosts perform on a day-to-day basis. You may need to alter your job configuration in response to your findings.
Once the system has settled with a few machines (lets say 10% of all office machines, i.e. 5) keep monitoring network traffic and host machine performance. Next benchmark again, you should now be processing 33% more jobs than your first benchmarks. Check this is so, or that you're at least in this ballpark. If not, investigate what is going on before moving on. Repeat this cycle until you happily have all office machines running without killing individual machine performance or grinding your network to a standstill.
At all times keep benchmarking, even after all deployments are made. Check how new code updates affect speed of your system, check all workers are reporting in and processing jobs. Slowly (very slowly) increment your job configuration to get the best from your workers and network.
What if you want to stop your workers from running at some time? They are all out there running, regenerating, and trying their best to process data like hungry insects. The answer may seem obvious but its worth adding just in case its overlooked. Simply edit your processing script with an exit(0) or die() or some other statement to kill your processing job. An important reason why we always try to update to the latest processing script before any run!
Demonstration System
In order to write this set of short articles I created a very small grid to demonstrate the technologies and methodologies. I read lots of articles, tutorials, and used various tools to setup and monitor what was going on. By no means have I gone out and saturated a whole office with traffic and nor have I had access to a regular staff members PC to see how host performance was affected.
My demonstration system was very humble indeed. I used my regular desktop set up as a job control server. On this I had installed mySQL server installed set up as a master in replication, PHP, and SVN linked through apache (for access via worker VM).
I then created a centOS worker machine on VirtualBox on a 6 year old windows XP laptop. I setup scheduled tasks as specified after copying the VM onto the machine and let it go.
The virtual machine was set up with PHP, subversion, and mySQL. I checked out a branch named 'worker' from my job control servers repository and made sure it could be updated using 'svn update'. Next I setup mySQL as a slave and checked that data was replicating from mySQL on the job control server down to the worker VM. After all this I setup the bash script and the cron job.
My processing script basically went along the lines of this (very simple stuff):
- Read in the name field
- Counted the number of similar names in a table from the data source held on the VM
- Counted the number of names as above but splitting the name by spaces (i.e. forename, middle, surname)
- Repeated this process 1,000 times
Each job took approximately 20 minutes to run. At one point I opened several copies of the worker VM on the windows laptop and watched the jobs be checked off by each of the worker IP addresses. At this point I also confirmed that replication automatically restarted.
Leaving the laptop to idle resulted in a worker starting to process jobs from the job control server. When resuming laptop usage there was a delay of about 30-60 seconds, this is a fair amount of time and staff would need to be made aware that their machine may pause for a short while when returning to the machine. Newer machines may not have a pause of this long. The benefit of the amount of processing performed by these machines during idle periods would more that outweigh staff members having to wait a short period (say 1 minute) on arriving at their machines of a morning (I frequently wait longer that this for a Windows Defender update to take place) provided they were made aware of this (useful time to grab a morning coffee!).
Overall I feel confident that I have demonstrated the technologies that could be used to create such a system. I have shown that such a system does work on a (very) small scale and with some more experimenting could be scaled up utilise the resources of an office's machines. If I don't get to the point of doing this I would be very interested to know/see when someone else does.
Conclusions / Evaluation
The next obvious step would be to actually get a real world example and start to deploy a system such as this within an office environment and see what happens. Asking a business to commit to this without a trail blazing company to prove the technology and effectiveness may be a little difficult. Grid/Distributed computing is very popular is some circles and has some large applications (BIONC, SETI@Home, Folding@Home, etc). I did not, however, find a smaller scale and simple system like this in my searches that could be rolled out within an office environment.
I created a basically free system using mostly open source software and tools available in almost any office. The technologies were basically demonstrated and show to perform and work as expected. Hopefully I have show that with not much work and with a very simple setup you can deploy an office grid computing system that is powerful, cheap, and scalable all at the same time.
Once a system is up and running there is almost no end to the amount of customisation and improvements you can make. For example statistics / benchmarking can easily be added showing the worth of such a system every day. New machines can be added quickly and easily as and when they arrive with upgrades to existing hardware bolstering your processing power.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this series of articles and its given you food for thought on running an office grid system. The solution presented here won't necessarily work in all situations but should be adaptable to allow you to get your data processing done using your own solution.
Please feel free to send me any comments, corrections, or improvements and I'll do my best to keep this article updated to match.

As we approach the end of 2008, it appears that the 'global credit crisis' may well continue to be a permanent feature in news headlines throughout 2009. The banking and credit crisis has proven that every country in the world is vulnerable to the effects of the downturn. The past year has been characterised by bank collapses, a sharp decline in house prices, credit drying up and unprecedented moves by governments to offer multi-billion dollar/pound bail-outs to banks and other businesses. As such, one is led to question whether there will be much to celebrate when the clock strikes midnight to see in the new year.
Looking specifically at the European Union, the economic crisis has led to a much sharper analysis of the economic and political policies being undertaken within EU member states. As EU heads of government and foreign ministers met in Brussels on 11 and 12 December for a two-day summit, there was undoubtedly another factor that was almost certainly in the minds of some of the attendees. This was the continuing decline of sterling which, at the time of the summit, had reached a low of 89 pence to the euro, the lowest since the single currency came into existence a decade ago. However, by 18 December, this had dropped even further as sterling reached an all-time low of 95.5 pence to the euro. Many analysts predict that it is only a matter of time before parity is met and at the rate it has been dropping, this could be reached well before the year is out. Gone are the days of Brits taking advantage of cheap weekend breaks to the continent, where three years ago a euro was worth as little as 69 pence. Britons flying to Eurozone countries over the holiday period and into next year will quickly come to realise that it may have been better value for money to holiday at home.
Worries about the demise of sterling have been coupled with recent debates within Denmark and Sweden - the only other 'old EU' economies that still remain outside the Eurozone - about proposing referendums on euro membership within the next year. In addition, Iceland, which isn't even an EU member state, has been suggested as being the possible 29th member of the EU, because, had it been a member, many of its recent economic troubles would have been avoided. All this leads back to the one country where the euro debate has been remarkably silent until now. In Britain there has been very little debate since Tony Blair and Gordon Brown rejected the idea of British membership of the euro in 2003 when the five economic tests were not met. However, as the events described above indicate, the suggestion that British politicians seem so reluctant to talk about – Britain adopting the euro – will surely have to be re-examined.
In fact, someone has already started the debate for them. Jose Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Commission, stated at the beginning of December that 'the UK was closer to joining the euro than ever before.' Although he admitted that the vast majority of British people are opposed to the idea, he went on to argue that 'those that matter in Britain' had been discussing it. One person rumoured to have been involved in such discussions is Lord Peter Mandelson, the Business Secretary and a staunch pro-euro supporter, but he claims that he cannot recall any such conversation. During the past few weeks, this suggestion has also been picked up by George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor, although he, when speaking to business leaders in the north east, said that in the current economic climate, abandoning the pound would be the wrong thing to do. That said, Caroline Flint, the Minister for Europe, maintained the Government's status quo by stating that the British position on the euro has not changed. However, if sterling's decline continues, and if the euro does continue to become a stronger and more stable currency than the pound, then surely it is only a matter of time before more involved debates about possible British membership of the euro become more widespread.
It is important to remember however, that there are many obstacles that still stand in the way of British membership. And before any serious debates on the possibility of joining are even entered into, many other factors also need to be considered. First, this is the first real test for the euro, and how it reacts and deals with the worsening economic picture will be seen by many as a test of its credibility. Although membership of the euro has eliminated the possibility of currency crises for countries such as Ireland and Spain, it does not mean that they are completely immune to shocks resulting from the global crisis. External threats could still harm their economies and that is why the events which unfold over the next few months will provide a real test for the currency and the eurozone as a whole.
Other obstacles to British membership are based on Britain's very nature and relationship with the EU itself. The Government's 'five economic tests' would have to be re-examined and each would have to be met before membership is even properly considered. However, even if these tests were met, the rest of Europe would then have to accept Britain's bid to join. Following that, Britain would then have to undergo a transitional period of membership of the single currency exchange rate mechanism before qualifying for full membership, which would take some years anyway.
Finally and most importantly, the largest problem is political. There is currently a complete lack of balanced debate on the euro issue within Britain, with it tending to get left to bashing at the hands of the tabloid press and euro-sceptics. This means that the vast majority of the British public are unenthusiastic about the project. Study after study has revealed that if a referendum on membership were to be held, it would be easily lost. In addition, the 'Europe/euro debate' has never been a vote-winner in Britain and it is an issue that is likely to lead to further splits within political parties. As Labour closes down the gap which the Conservatives had managed to open up between the two parties in the polls, is Gordon Brown really likely to take Britain into a referendum on an issue that many predict the Government could never win? In addition, this also seems especially unlikely given that a general election must be called by the spring of 2010. Finally, it is important to note that even if the idea had crossed the minds of ministers over the past few weeks, aside from Lord Mandelson, no other politician has publically put forward a positive case for Europe which will be essential to lay the groundwork for the euro. If British politicians cannot even manage this, there is little chance of euro membership any time in the near future.
As economic events over the past year have demonstrated, nothing can be ruled out or predicted. But, for the moment, serious debate on the issue of British membership of the euro remains premature. The Government is playing safe by declaring that the policy hasn't changed and that they will focus on other economic issues first. It is too early to tell whether the decline of sterling will continue along with that of the British economy. That is because speculative report after speculative report differs on just how bad the recession will be both for Britain and the Eurozone. If sterling does come out of the economic crisis worse off, then surely Britain should seriously start to consider membership - even if this is only a consideration.
Finally, it is important to remember that throughout 2008, Gordon Brown has said repeatedly to the public that he will do 'everything in his power to protect the British economy'. Perhaps British membership of the euro may be just the thing to protect it. 2009 may indeed be one of the most interesting years for European Monetary Union, since it's introduction to the markets ten years ago. It may prove to be a very interesting year indeed.

Deputy Sheriff Khomas Revels was shot and killed when he attempted to take action when he interrupted a robbery while he was off duty.
He and another jailer had entered a grocery store on Lake Bradford Road, near West Orange Avenue, not realizing that a robbery was taking place. Deputy Revels and the other deputy were off duty but in uniform and unarmed. The three armed offenders had the two deputies lay on the ground next to four patrons. The men then robbed the deputies of their money before one of the subjects stated he was going to kill all of the victims.
The statement prompted Deputy Revels to jump to his feet and struggle with one of the subjects. The other deputy came to his assistance. As they struggled with the man one of the other subjects shot both deputies multiple times. Deputy Revels was fatally wounded while the other deputy suffered serious wounds.
All three subjects were eventually apprehended. They were convicted of multiple charges related to the murder and robbery and sentenced to life in prison.

"[Brantley] is so wonderful, I cannot stop smiling around him. He surprises me with gifts 'just because.'"The news might be somewhat of a surprise as just last month Kramer said that the two were simply "having fun" after the two attended the CMA Awards separately."We're having a good time," she told Taste of Country Nights radio host Jeremy Robinson during a CMA Week interview in Nashville.

Sunrise Premiums – Benefits of Travel Incentives
Sunrise Premiums helps to enhance the growth of businesses through the concept of providing travel incentives and vacation certificates to customers. Such benefits take businesses to a level above the rest, as potential clients have all the more reason to utilize companies that offer such products. They receive the services or products they need, but they also have the opportunity to go on a complimentary vacation. However, what are the specific benefits that such incentive packages can offer to a company?
According to Sunrise Premiums, the positives are far and wide. For example, Sunrise Premiums reports that auto dealers see an increase in sales up to 30% when adding travel and vacation rewards. There are also increased sales for other types of companies, as well as reports of heightened website traffic. Furthermore, vacation incentives do not just make customers come to the place of business once. These deals and promotions help to ensure that clients continue coming back, and hopefully, they will be passing the word on to their savvy friends as well. Additionally, adding such incentives leads to a more motivated and excited staff, and allows thank you gifts to be both "affordable" and "luxurious."
Knowing the clientele is another key component of successfully completing such an endeavor. In February of 2012, Sunrise Premiums conducted a survey of travel packages that different types of customers prefer. Therefore, a knowledge of industry specific vacation types, thereby creating pertinent and perfect packages for clients, can be utilized to render vacation paradise. For example, a 4 day/3 night hotel stay at a "choice of over 125 beautiful destinations" won in the poll by a significant margin. Clients need to see vacations that they will actually use in order to utilize the services of the company offering the incentives.
Fortunately, companies that are utilizing Sunrise Premiums to help with their travel needs can know that they are in good hands. This industry leader works with enterprises such as the American Cancer Society, Old National Bank, World Gym and dozens of other recognizable companies, creating a sense of insurance and security for potential customers. Additionally, Sunrise Premiums is a Better Business Bureau accredited business with a BBB rating of an A.

Nov 09, 2008 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
For the third year in a row, Cazenovia's field hockey team earned the right to venture into the wild and uncharted ground that is the state playoffs.
To earn that right, the Lakers had to go to nearby Chittenango High School and, on a warm early Wednesday evening, clamp down on Little Falls in a 1-0 shutout to earn the combined Section III Class C/D title.
Four days earlier, the Lakers had prevailed 2-0 over Canastota in the Class C final, while the Mounties had beaten New York Mills 3-2 to snag the Class D title, the 10th in the school's history.
Perhaps sensing the urgency to produce something quickly, the Lakers went on the attack right after the opening face-off.
Just 36 seconds later, Cazenovia had a lead it would not relinquish. Lindsey Smith took a shot that Little Falls goalie Ashley Miller kicked away — but it went right to Tori Widrick, and her rebound shot trickled into the net.
That was all the Lakers would get in this game. For the rest of the night, whenever the Lakers organized and whenever it earned penalty corners, the Mounties would turn it away, as Miller finished with eight save.
Meanwhile, the Cazenovia defense continued to dominate. A majority of the Lakers' experience is in the backfield, a key reason why the team could so smoothly replace its potent attack from the previous two years and still win big.
Alissa Easterly, Stacy Marris, Jenny Beachem and Eden Smith are all seniors on the back line that protect a senior, Jen Budnar, in goal. Together, they closed ranks every time Little Falls brought the ball into their end, then got their sticks on the turf and flicked the ball away. Budnar finished with six saves.
This kind of defensive effort would be needed Saturday, at Vestal High School near Binghamton, when the Lakers faced Section IV powerhouse Marathon in the Class C regional finals.
As it turned out, nothing Cazenovia tried would work against the two-time defending state champion Olympians, who easily handled the Lakers 7-0.
Right from the moment the game faced off, the Lakers found itself in a defensive mode, unable to keep up with the speed and skill Marathon provided.
By halftime, it was 4-0, and the Olympians kept adding to it. Budnar had nine saves, but watched as three different Marathon players — Lexis Root, Marta Malmberg and Tessa Knapp — each had two goals on this day.
Overall, Cazenovia finished its season at 15-6-1. With Budnar, Easterly, Marris, Beachem, Devyn Speer, Eden Smith and Lindsey Smith, all graduating, a new back line must be put into place. But the Lakers will have Widrick, Belle Hoagland and Jillian Vogl back, forming a young attack that will keep the Lakers on the board often next fall.

Factual Information:
Artist: MARCEL DUCHAMP
General Information:
The Dada art movement was a protest movement, against war and the traditional view of art. It had a main strategy, to shock the viewer with its nonsensical art. The followers of the movement praised the nonsensical, saying that the world doesn't make sense, the world doesn't work off logic or rationality. They protested the logical viewpoint with art such as this one, Fountain. This urinal was shown off in a art exhibit by Marcel Duchamp as a piece of art, to protest the art establishment. He questioned what people saw as artwork by simply buying a urinal about to be thrown out, writing R.Mutt 1917 on it then renaming it as a fountain. People often attempt to look into the meaning of the work, but there never was one, a part of the common theme of nonsensical art that was the Dada movement.
Why This Artwork?
This artwork was chosen to show the Dada movement and the type of artwork that was considered Dada. This artwork carrys many of the characteristics of the Dada movement such as being nonsensical, as well as being an important artwork because of the criticism that ensued bringing much publicity to the movement.

text: Generally, yes, but the amount of money you can recover may be reduced. If your case goes to trial, a jury will determine what percentage of the accident was your fault, and your recovery will be reduced accordingly. For instance, if you were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, you will recover only 80% of the money you otherwise would have won. However, in Indiana, if you were found to be fifty-one per cent or more at fault, you would get nothing in money damages.

Travellers are encouraged to research their intended destinations before travel. This should include gathering knowledge of local laws and customs, the current political situation, availability of medical treatment/facilities and any existing travel warnings.
Knowledge of the destination being visited may increase a traveller's awareness of potential risks. This should allow them to prepare in advance of travel, with the aim of reducing risk to their personal safety.
Travellers should take the following precautionary measures to help stay safe abroad:
Criminals may view travellers as wealthy, easy targets who are unfamiliar with local culture and unsure about seeking help. If travellers are aware of the risk of mugging, thefts and assault, it may change behaviour and lead to overall harm reduction.
Over the past five years the FCO has observed increasing numbers of travellers seeking consular assistance following sexual assault and rape. Spain had the highest number of reported sexual assaults. Sexual assaults and rapes are known to be underreported; as such the FCO figures may not reflect the true extent of the problem.
Freedom from usual social restraints and increased alcohol/drug use may lead travellers to dropping their usual guard and leave them more vulnerable to sexual assault and rape. Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) has produced information about alcohol-related risk behaviours in young holidaymakers.
Travellers should be aware of the risk of sexual assault and rape; precautionary behaviour may help reduce the risk.
Sexual assault and rape can happen to anyone, of any age and background; it may be extremely traumatic and could be even more difficult to deal with if it occurs abroad. Issues such as language barriers and/or lack of awareness about where to get help may leave victims more vulnerable.

Two former aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie asked the federal judge overseeing an investigation into lane closures on the George Washington Bridge not to force them to turn over texts, citing their Fifth Amendment rights.
In court Tuesday, lawyers for Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Stepien, his former campaign chairman, said handing over text messages as ordered by subpoenas would be a violation of their constitutional right against self-incrimination.
Kevin Marino, Stepien's attorney, explained his client handing over the text messages would be tantamount to admitting to having knowledge of the bridge closure incident. Marino accused the Democratic-led legislative panel of "trying to enlist [Stepien] as an agent of the committee."
But Reid Schar, attorney for the committee, told Mercer County Superior Court Assignment Judge Mary C. Jacobsen that, by Marino's logic, no subpoena could be enforced.
"If that were true, essentially every single subpoena would be open to 5th Amendment protection," Schar said, adding that other documents received by the committee have already revealed Stepien and Kelly had knowledge of the closures.
Still, Kelly's attorney, Critchley, hinted her resistance to handing over the relevant communications would crumble if immunity were offered for her testimony.
"You act as if they could very easily afford immunity and that would take care of everything," Jacobsen said.
"Like that, like that," Critchley said, snapping his fingers. "They don't want to give us immunity, not that they can't."

Robert H. Schuller Quotes About Self EsteemQuotes about: Self Esteem
Labels such as, 'evangelical', 'fundamental', 'charismatic', 'liberal' contribute to polarization and produce a climate of implied or outspoken distrust. Respectful dialogue becomes virtually impossible. What we desperately need to offset this disunity and distrust is a new and cleansing theology of communication.
The emerging church, reformed according to the needs of self-esteem-starved-souls under the Lordship of Christ.... will help us to affirm the concept that 'While god's ideas may seem humanly impossible, he will give us these ideas which will lead to glorious, self-esteem-generating success.
...the kingdom of God is that invisible collection of committed Christians that transcends cultures, ideologies... and creeds- all bound by the golden commitment to say nothing and do nothing that would attack the self-esteem, the self-respect, and the dignity of any other human being, whether or not they are committed members of the kingdom of God. The dignity of the person then is the irreducible cell of true Christianity.
... the core of sin is a lack of self-esteem. ... Sin is psychological self-abuse. ... the most serious sin is one that causes me to say, 'I am unworthy. I may have no claim to divine sonship if you examine me at my worst.' For once a person believes he is an 'unworthy sinner,' it is doubtful if he can really honestly accept the saving grace God offers in Jesus Christ.

- Have you tried Ebay? Thats where I got my 25lb recurve. Also try craigslist. Even though it by local, something like a bow, especially a take down model could be shipped, so check some of the major metro areas too.

Ive tried everything, manual removal, sea hare, starfish, lettuce slugs but nothing is working. i KNOW that sailfin/yellow tangs will eat it and i know foxface will also eat it.

Cycling Under The Arcade
Cyclists cycling under the arcades is sometimes rather annoying, especially when some inconsiderate and selfish cyclists think that they have all the right to honk at people to give way to them. The fact is, they have no right to use the path under the arcades, as stated by the laws, but since we are in Italy, nobody really cares about the laws until something happened.....
So, windows shopping or having a peaceful walk under various arcades in Torino can sometimes be rather stressful due to some inconsiderate cyclists.

Determining length of Series 900 Spiral Balance
A quick learner from Spiral Balances for Tilt Windows says:
May 24, 2012
The tip is red and the diameter of the tube is 3/8". When I measure the tube it is 28 1/2" long. I'm just measuring the tube. I am not including the spiral or red tip in the measurement. The closest size to the existing tube seems to be either 28" or 29". Which size should I buy or am I measuring incorrectly?
Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your help!
Paul from SWISCO responded:
May 30, 2012
Thanks for posting! Well, first I would make sure that you're just measuring the metal part of the tube. We do not incorporate the plastic tips and spiral protrusions in our length dimensions. If it is, indeed, 28-1/2" long, then I would recommend our 29" Series 900 spiral balance, or our S900-29, since our balances are only manufactured on the inch.

text: I recently purchased an Encore Prowler 72" mower with the Kawasaki FD750D 27HP Liquid-cooled engine. It has 369 hours. I put about 12 hours on it and it was working perfectly, then the engine just quit like it ran out of gas, although I have a full tank. It will crank over but won't start. I checked the fuel pump and it was pumping fuel to the carburetor inlet. I pulled the plugs and checked spark, which was good. I can get it to run for a few seconds if I pour a small amount of gas down the carb throat. I pulled the jets and cleaned them with carb cleaner. I can't figure out why it quit or how to get it back running.Anyone else have this issue or have ideas on what to check?

2017 Sponsorship Packages
As always, TESOL Arabia offers five regular tiers of sponsorship packages and benefits however, this year we are extending our sponsorship packages to include "sponsor in kind." This means if your organization sponsors conference attendees from outside the United Arab Emirates, you will receive some sponsorship benefits equivalent to our regular sponsorship tiers according to the number of delegates your organization sponsors. For example, if your organization sponsors 80 delegates, your logo will be included on the website and displayed in the Conference App/Book, you will also receive a free complimentary ad in Perspectives, and your flyer will be placed in the conference delegates' bags.
In addition to promotional materials for TESOL Arabia's Annual Conference (e.g., banners, conference program, website, etc.), sponsors increase their visibility all through the year by recognition in TESOL Arabia publications and on our website. Of the 5 sponsorship tiers, Silver, Gold and Platinum sponsors accrue the greatest benefits, including complimentary exhibition space at the conference. Considered one of the world's foremost professional development opportunities in the field of English as a second language, foreign language, and medium of instruction, TESOL Arabia's Annual International Conference 2017 will attract more than 1,800 primary, secondary and tertiary teachers, educators, managers and administrators from the region and further afield.

Hartford's Camp Courant 'Mike & Camp in the Evening' is Huge Success
During his daily routine of talking sports for ESPN Radio's highly successful 'Mike and Mike in the Morning', Mike Golic covers a variety of topics for sports fans of all backgrounds and preferences. This time was very different, as the Golic family ventured to downtown Hartford for an evening to benefit the children of the Capital City. Hartford's Camp Courant was proud to welcome the Golic family and 50 special guests to the luxurious Max Downtown for 'Mike & Camp in the Evening,' a fundraiser to benefit Camp, which is currently celebrating 120 years of service to the youth of Hartford. This unique fundraising event was sponsored by TD Bank, as featured delicious food offerings from the well know Max team, as well as refreshing options from Winam Wines of Farmington. Proceeds from the event went directly to Camp, which is the oldest and largest FREE summer program currently in the United States. Fox CT's Ben Goldman was the emcee for the evening, inviting questions from the crowd and taking Mr. Golic through different talking points about the world of sports. Collegiate athletics, the NFL, concussions, race relations, and parental involvement in youth sports were the topics for the evening's discussion. The Golic family has made Camp their charity of choice here in Connecticut as they proudly reside in Avon and wanted to support a cause close to home. Golic's effort last year with a campaign for Turtle Wax, combined with a holiday event at Fairfield Prep, and last night's evening has raised tens of thousands of dollars in making a difference for Hartford's kids.

AN annual youth Technology Tournament run by Rotary International and BAE Systems and involving more than 100 schools within Lancashire and Cumbria will be taking place next Friday, with 300 teams taking part at 10 regional centres throughout the North West.
The event provides more than 1,000 students with an exciting opportunity both for practising team building and communication skills, as well as problem solving in a design and technology environment. Last year pupils had the challenge of designing and making a flashing beacon with a device that controlled the frequency of flashes.
Teams from Ribble Valley schools will compete at the nearest regional centre, The Hollins Technology College, Accrington, where 33 teams involving some 132 students and teachers from across the East Lancashire are will be competing.
The teams will be given a task to perform – with no prior notice of what it will be – which will involve team work and ingenuity in designing, building and demonstrating that what they have built will actually work and meet the design criteria laid down in the design brief.
Richard Lea, from the Rotary International Organisation said: "This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, and we are again delighted to have the wholehearted support of BAE Systems, a major technology employer in our region."
Look out for the results in a future edition of the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times.

Most likely the best cocktails I have ever had with a huge variety. Choose your poison and the professional bartenders will make a delicious cocktail out of it. They are super expensive but worth it as an experience. The view is of course awesome as well. John J
If you want to have posh atmosphere, good cocktails and a significant view of Moscow, go there! It was my second visit. This time I came during the day on purpose. And I was impressed again. Yes, you can see beautiful Lights of Moscow during evening, but during the day you can see the real city. It is better to book table in advance. Prices are a little bit high, but you definitely have what you are paying for. Very good food, cocktails and high quality service. Yulia K
A good restaurant for meeting with friends . Not loud music, a lot of candles and really exiting panoramas of the center city. If you book in advance a table next to the window you will dine and have a good look at illuminated Moscow. Fascinating show.. in addition there is fresh sushi and huge menu of the cocktails. The waiters are very polite and helpful. Verushka_ra
a great view of Moscow city- check; great cocktails- check; fab desserts- check. This place is hugely popular in the Moscow nightlife scene, and not without reason. Would recommend a reservation in advance, and request a seat with a view. Also, recommend the Moscow Mule (one of the best ones I've tried) and the Tiramisu. The place is fairly expensive; but if you're looking for a fancy, fine dining experience, go for it. If you're not keen on shelling out a lot, would recommend ordering a drink at the bar and soaking in the view. Kaycee16
Se vi aspettate di trovare qualcosa di caratteristico, scordatevelo. Tuttavia la vista che offre questo luogo è impagabile. Abbiamo cenato qua nella notte di Capodanno, personale molto cordiale e amichevole, luogo di classe e ben gestito. La vista che offre della città è a 360 gradi dato che si trova all'ultimo piano e è organizzato come un cerchio intorno al bar centrale. Giulia B
Really good cocktails, fingerfood and superb view 360 panorama! Crew is friendly and professional. They are expensive, but for us it was worth the experience. Roy V
Assolutamente fantastico, in cima al 34esimo piano di un grattacielo, cocktail stupendi, vista magnifica, prezzi stratosferici (2 cocktail e porzioni di sushi 70€), ottima atmosfera, potete richiedere anche un binocolo gratuitamente. E' richiesto un abbigliamento consono (ma non è obbligo presentarsi con giacca e cravatta). Prenotate, l'orario ideale è alle 22. NandoBorgia
Me and my partner went to this bar because we enjoy rooftop atmosphere and also because it is highly rated at TripAdvisor. I have to say that we enjoyed our experience very much as the environment was very pleasant with professional service. Personally I have never seen before that skilled bartenders who were also able to advice us on other matters and could speak English. PS nice for events - we celebrated Halloween there and although not many people had costumes, the people from there tried hard and there was a Halloween decoration. :) Lenka H

Rhône Food Bank is a finalist in the Google Impact Challenge.
Rhône Food Bank is developping a phone application aiming to reduce food waste and to give food to deprived people.
The project: a phone application called "BAMicro-don"
Amongst the ten finalists, the project that collects the most votes will win one of four prizes from the Google Impact Challenge; an amount of 500 000 euros.
Why vote for this project?
It is as simple as a phone app, efficient and above all, it will aid in the fight against food waste and food scarcity through effective and local means. In Rhône (French department), more than 30 000 people are supported by the Food Bank and its charitable organization partners.
How does it work?
Rhône Food Bank is developing a phone application, BAMicro-don, which lets local shopkeepers donate their unsold products to charities in the area. Using geolocalisation technology with a few clicks the shopkeeper can offer unsold stock online. It will be sent directly to the nearest charitable organizations.
According to their needs and availability, charities will choose whether or not to take the offers. This exchange will allow charities to locate a diversity of quality food supplies locally and for free to distribute to deprived people. And in addition serve 1 800 000 extra-meals in Rhône department.
What's next?
With more than 30 years of experience, Food Banks have the support of a network of 5300 charitable organizations and CCAS partners. If the Rhône Food Bank wins the 2015 Google Impact Challenge this application could be proposed and duplicated by the entire national network of Food Banks.
Please, vote for us BEFORE October 7th 2015.

James Walker's race weekend in Hungary ended in the Armco today when the Jersey racer made an uncharacteristic mistake whilst running in fourth place in race two. A fourth place finish in yesterday's race gave him seven points and he remains in third place in the Formula Renault 3.5 Championship.
James took third place in Saturday morning's Superpole session. A tiny mistake on his fastest lap meant he didn't qualify on the front row for the first time this season. The reverse grid for race one saw James line up in sixth place for the start.
He got away well when the lights went out and came through at the end of lap one in fourth place. The twisty Hungaroring can produce quite processional races and James, like many others, couldn't find a place to overtake cleanly. He was pleased to finish fourth though and take some points. After race one James was sitting in third place on the overall Championship, just ten points shy of the leader.
After the start of race two James was running in fifth when a mid-grid pile-up brought out the safety car. Just as the race was about to restart, the leader, Marcos Martinez, pulled off the track, so James was immediately up to fourth and chasing Charles Pic for third.
The plan was for James to come in and complete his compulsory pit-stop as soon as the pit-lane opened, so that he could come out onto a clear track, bang in some fast laps, and emerge in the lead after everyone else had pitted. It's a strategy that worked out beautifully at Spa but unfortunately James spun on his in lap and hit the Armco, which ended his charge.
A very disappointed James explained what happened.
"I overcooked it. I was pushing hard, got a bit of oversteer and that was that. I'm massively disappointed but I have to stay positive and focus now on Silverstone. We have a fantastic chance of winning there and I will do everything I can to make sure that I do."
The Silverstone rounds of the 2009 Formula Renault 3.5 Series take place in three weeks' time.

What is W.A.G.E.? Working Artists and the Greater Economy is a New York-based activist organization founded in 2008. Our mission is to establish sustainable economic relationships between artists and the institutions that contract our labor, and to introduce mechanisms for self-regulation into the art field that collectively bring about a more equitable distribution of its economy.
Why? Read our womanifesto.
What is W.A.G.E. Certification? W.A.G.E. Certification is a national program initiated and operated by W.A.G.E. that publicly recognizes those nonprofit arts organizations demonstrating a history of, and commitment to, voluntarily paying artist fees that meet our minimum payment standards.
How many have been W.A.G.E. Certified? 48
Can artists participate in W.A.G.E.? For now, artists can participate by negotiating W.A.G.E. fees with the nonprofit institutions that contract their labor, and soon they will be able to join WAGENCY, a broad-based coalition and parallel Artist Certification program.
Does W.A.G.E. address the commercial art market? W.A.G.E. is working on an updated and modular version of Seth Siegelaub's The Artist's Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement on blockchain.
1. Darger HQ (Omaha, NE)
2. Omaha Creative Institute (Omaha, NE)
1. Weavers Guild of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN)
2. Culture Mill (Saxapahaw, NC)
3. Jonah Bokaer Choreography (New York, NY)
1. Art Students League of Denver (Denver, CO)
2. Transformer (Washington, D.C.)
3. Vera List Center for Art and Politics (New York, NY)
Participating artists receive a standard full W.A.G.E. fee for the first iteration of the exhibition, paid by the originating venue. In subsequent iterations each fee is paid by the host institution and treated as an 'Exhibition Fee'. An Exhibition Fee is 50% of the standard full fee. For example, if a host institution's TAOE is $500,000 or less, the fee for a Group Exhibition with 6+ Artists would be a minimum of $75 per artist, or 50% of $150. If an artist is required to install their work each time the exhibition is mounted, the host institution must pay the artist using the Day Rate for Performers category in this schedule, in addition to covering travel and accommodation expenses.
Solo Screening with In-Person Appearance is the screening of a film or video accompanied by an in-person appearance by the artist. The fee is separate and distinct from any rental fees paid to a film distributor. If an artist self-distributes their work, rates are negotiated between artist and institution. W.A.G.E. recommends a minimum rental fee of $250 per feature and $75 per short film. The continuous screening of a film or video in an exhibition is covered under the exhibition categories listed above. In the case of both single and continuous screening in an exhibition context, institutions are not required to pay an artist fee if a fee is paid to a distributor.
A single event with two or more artists. This may take the form of a presentation of discrete works including but not limited to performance, screening, or reading, or it may be a panel discussion.
An Artist Talk in conjunction with an exhibition is considered additional content and must be compensated separately. An exhibition walk-through or video interview may be included as content provided by the artist as part of the program, but it must be negotiated as such with the contracting institution and acknowledged as labor. In larger institutions where different departments may work with an artist to produce different content for the same program, it is the responsibility of the institution to coordinate between departments and produce a single cohesive contract agreement. For smaller institutions, all content being produced for the program should itemized and agreed upon by both artist and institution.
The delivery of a new keynote presentation or a new lecture by an artist. Criteria for what constitutes new content must be negotiated between artist and institution.
Day Rate for Performers are fees paid to performers participating in commissioned and existing performances created by the Contracted Artist. Fees are paid to performers directly by the organization. 'Performers' include all persons who may be understood as performers, whether called Facilitators, Re-performers, Caretakers or other. Fee offer must be articulated to applicants at time of audition/interview and Performers must receive a contract for review a minimum of 5 business days before signing and returning. If the contracted work takes place over a period of more than 30 days, Performers must be hired as Temporary Employees and not Independent Contractors. Day Rate for Performers at institutions with operating expenses up to $5,000,000 is $25/hour or $125/Day, whichever is higher. Day Rate for Performers at institutions with operating expenses over $5,000,000 is $50/hr or $200/day, whichever is higher. In some cases this category may also be used to contract other forms of temporary waged labor not covered by this schedule.
