The next steps will be to put the new firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list in place and produce an actual draft charter with milestones. The draft charter will take a little while (week or two) to appear for comment, as I first want to contact potential draft authors to ensure that the milestone dates are somewhat plausible before putting them into the draft charter. Anyone interesting is being a WG co-chair (multiple co-chairs are likely) should contact our responsible Area Director, Lars Eggert [firstname.lastname@example.com] (cc:'ing me would be appreciated, but is not necessary), as appointment of WG chairs is up to the Area Directors. I will also make minor edits to the draft minutes and submit them to the proceedings.

From this I started thinking; "Is there a solution that comes closer to delivering the original marketing hype?"
When I refer to "the marketing hype", I am referring to the general notion of a cloud as a place where you build and run your application without concern for servers, operating systems, operations, data centers, networks etc.. etc.. A place where developers can deploy without experience in infrastructure architecture.
From the outset, Platform as a Service has always existed. The slide presentations and articles that "demystified the cloud" repeatedly from 2008-present with endless definitions, included AppEngine (Google), Force.COM (Salesforce) and Heroku as examples of PaaS. The first two were really designed to be complementary to the relevant Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, a custom code capability, tightly integrated into the primary service. Heroku was a more independent offering and always receives good reviews and some reasonable customer successes. EngineYard, PHPFog and a number of others have also shown what can be done.
What has changed now, is some chinks in the armor of IaaS in the form of complexity, reliability and availability. People know that its not as easy as it looks, and begin look elsewhere for the greener pastures and the promises of simplicity.
Enter from stage left, Platform as a Service (PaaS). A couple of vendors with a traditional footprint in larger enterprises have entered the market. Redhats - OpenShift and VMwares - Cloud Foundry are good indications of a "coming of age" for PaaS platforms as a viable alternative.
So what does PaaS have to offer that is more cloudy?
The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) service paradigm still sits squarely in the gap between development and operations. Platform as a Service (PaaS) moves this boundary more firmly into the sphere of influence of the developer. To be clear, there is still a gap to be bridged. Developers traditionally don't do production, but in the PaaS model developers only need to consider production in the context of the application design and not infrastructure. The issues of infrastructure reliability, scalability etc.. are more clearly the responsibility of service provider.
The potential to realize the hype of the cloud is clearly evident. The abstraction of developers from the physical world is fundamental to the purest visions (thinking hype as I write this) of cloud computing. It is not without its pitfalls. I see a few of largish hurdles;
- Common infrastructure architecture – SalesForce.COM has promoted the efficiency of a common infrastructure, but they do this with a uniform code base. Can you achieve the commonality of the architecture in a PaaS environment to deliver the simplicity and economies of scale required to allow developers to truly focus on code. Will we start to see PaaS becoming complex and therefore requiring specialist skills to manage deployment.
- Time line delays – The more you abstract from traditional infrastructure design, the farther away you are from addressing the needs of enterprise users. Enterprises users like to understand the physical, particularly for comfort in the area of assurance, security and compliance. This may delay the rate of adoption and the profitability of a service. VMware is playing the "private PaaS" card in this space and advocating the "hybrid" model.
- Fear of lock-in – In recent times there has been lots of discussion on PaaS lock-in and API Lock-in. The reality IaaS presents less lock-in because the boundary between infrastructure and application tier is historically well understood by IT management and professionals. We know what to look for.. There is however, a tendency for developers to maximize the features of the application layer for any given product, which creates a dependency on whatever value-add the PaaS provider chooses to provide. A historically well known strategy for "Java Reference Implementation" application servers or any other code deployment environment.
PaaS has its supporters, but also its skeptics. Adrian Cockcroft for instance, thinks PaaS has some work to do and recently classified Cloud Foundry as a toy for anything that requires scale.
What PaaS needs is a anchor customer with a large workload to get some credibility, validate the model, evangelize the capabilities, lead a community of like minded businesses. This will uncover real-world solutions to problems and give greater confidence in the platform.

Alain D Woolf
Summary Profile
Alain D. Woolf is a consummate performer, often referred to as one of South Africa's most versatile artistes, he can sing, dance, and make you laugh, hypnotize your office or even release the power you bear in your mind! The talent he oozes encourages the shyest of the shy, get up and sing during a karaoke Idols competition.
Performing at Fox studio's Sydney comedy store in Australia, "The Comedy Store" and "The Improv Store" in Los Angeles – U.S.A. is just one of the many feathers in Alan's hat, his portrayal of 'Galanakis' in Grey Hoffmeyer's 'The Big Time', won a "Tonight" award for best actor!
TopicsNew Talk: The Q factor The Q Factor was born out of an insatiable desire to inspire others to be 'cool', to be able to stretch their minds and consequent goals beyond what they believe to be their limits, so that they can benefit themselves, their teams and their families. Emotional Intelligence has been around for a while. It gained worldwide prominence with the 1996 publication of Daniel Goldman's number 1 bestseller EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. Although it met with a certain amount of controversy, it certainly enlightened our way of thinking. E.I. or E.Q. [Emotional Quotient] has challenged the notion that IQ is the only way of evaluating a person's ability. It is now evident that someone with a high Emotional Intelligence quotient fares better in the work place than someone with a high IQ. Most people today have heard of E.Q. and there are many presentations on the subject. Alain d Woolf has a novel spin on E.Q. and advocates that not only should we all practise it, but that it should be part of more school curriculums. It is well documented that children who attend such schools fare better than their counterparts. Grades are higher and violence is down. Certainly, the presentation is beneficial in the corporate world where tension is high and harmony is integral. Alain's 'The Q Factor' presentation examines the evolution of the human brain and how we think. The concept of Lateral thinking and Neuro Linguistic Programming are covered in the subsequent 2 series. The presentation is concluded with a short serious hypno coaching session that demonstrates the power of the mind. See more here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP93vnb9oZ4

This is already happening..
Autumn is already here and we are getting ready for temperatures to drop down. Every shop now has a new collection on their window displays to catch customers attention, and also to remind them that this is the perfect moment to prepare your wordrobe for a new season.
Autumn/ Winter Fashion Trends – What is Worth to Buy?
Once again this year, sweaters are leading their way in the fashion week show runways. It is no wonder that many of us have came up with an idea to invest some money in a new cosy cardigans or pullovers, just to make ourselves feel more comfortable during this unfavorable time of year. But what next? The variety of different products that are available these days, can be in fact truly overwhelming for simple consumers. We have sweaters that are cropped, long, with long sleeves, or short one – multiple options. In this whole chaos of shopping we have to remember that we don't want to spend outrageous amounts of money for merchandise that will not last even 1 week.
What Ingridients Are We Looking For?
Under those circumstances we are trying to dig deeper and for the first time pay more attention to the ingredients that were used during the manufacturing process. Acrylic, polyester – sound familiar? That's correct, most of the sweaters have them written on the label. Is it good or a bad thing – you might think. The answer is – it depends. If you are looking for something that is going to be affordable but not long lasting that'll be your drill. Hovewer, If you're are looking for a product on the complete opposite site to that one, this might be a problem for you. Those two ingredients are the cheapest ones to use but at the same time the most problematic for customers. Usually you will start to see some inconvienient changes right after the first wash, when the fabric starts to shed. As far as I'm concerned that is the most common issue that everyone has ever experienced. In order to avoid those kind of consequences, we have to lean towards products that are made from natural ingridients like: cashmere, merino wool or lambswool.
Invest in Yourself!
With that being said, it is worth to be more aware of what we are wearing on a daily basis and also what kind of outcome we might expect from that. The fashion industry is a huge market these days. Everybody is seeking for a way to reduce costs of manufacturing. In that case it is time to look for more unique and regional clothing to refresh our memories where everything has started.

I am about to set my feet upon a path today that I will at times lay upon as if I am dying, at times crawl upon, at times slink along, and hopefully at times march along strongly as I try this week to prepare a manuscript of my childhood stories to send to an editor I am blessed to have found who is willing to help pull together this first book on my childhood.
There is bound to be some spill-over as I fight out this battle over words to describe what happened to me in enough detail to convince readers of two things: I am telling the truth and it matters.
In order to tell this truth I have to use words, and because words were used from the time I was born as viscous and deadly weapons by my mother, all words that I consider and use to tell my story are contaminated by definition.
At this moment as I prepare myself for this week ahead I am afraid. I can use logic all I want to tell myself that "It's OK. You are all grown up. You survived what was done to you by your mother. She can't reach you. She can't touch you. She is dead dead dead."
But I cannot do this work without going "back there" into the 18 years of hell I spent being inhuman, being evil, being The Devil's Child sent as a curse upon my mother's life. With all the information I now have about how broken my mother was, about how the neglect, maltreatment, abuse, lack of love and acceptance, lack of WHATEVER coupled with WHATEVER dark and toxic forces that shaped my mother's genetic constitution to permanently remove her from the universe of sanity and reason – I see at this moment no way to take this factual information into my past with me so I can be two places at the same time – here – and there.
It might help to wrap myself tightly within a sort of invisibility cloak as I travel back there to retrieve some version of MY childhood story. The fabric of this cloak is woven of threads made up of the awareness that I only have to do this once. One time only. THIS one time only.
But in order for this journey to be a 'one time', I am aware that I have to do it right. I need protection. I need a gas mask. I need a suit to keep my mother's contamination of my childhood, her contamination of me as her growing daughter off of my skin, out of my airways.
My mind wants to KNOW what the title of this book is as if having the title shuts Pandora's Box forever with the scary, awful stuff inside. I don't WANT to jump inside that box and wrestle again with the demons that infected and overwhelmed, in fact consumed and BECAME the mind of my mother. I cannot tell my story without being there with her madness because WHO and WHAT she believed me to be WAS the darkness within her.
Only I didn't know it. How could I have known it? From the first breath I ever took on this earth I was already guilty of being a murderess. "The Devil sent you to kill me while you were being born." That being the beginning of my life, the beginning of my relationship with my mother, being just the BEGINNING of her verbal attacks, nothing ever got any better.
My infancy and childhood with my mother happened within a thick, gooey, sticky, slurpy poisonous stew of malevolent darkness. Sometimes this stew was volcano hot. Sometimes it was glacial cold. My mother had all the power in the universe to keep me a hidden captive underneath its scummy, putrefying crust.
But I stop myself here. I have the power to CHOOSE the words I will put in this book of my infancy-childhood. I will encounter words that suck me into that horrible place. I do not want those words. I am hopeful that I can JUST do my best to tell what few stories I have about what few memories I have and let THAT be THAT.
As I work to write staying on MY path I will need to watch carefully for the defining edges of it so that I don't fall into the infernos of my mother's madness. My mind did not form itself for the first 18 years of my life having any idea at all where the boundary line was between my own self and my own mind – and my mother's. Because she was a severe (though undiagnosed) Borderline, the borders of the universes that separated us did not exist.
My childhood was contaminated. I was born contaminated. There really is no story to tell. There is a description of profound contamination that has more in common with being born out of my mother's womb into a deadly radioactive environment – that exploded while she was in labor with me.
The truth of what happened to me, even of what happened to my mother IS beyond words. The core of trauma that shaped her and hence shaped me does not exist where words are. In fact, this trauma acted itself out beyond the range of anyone's detection as if what cannot be named does not exist. It is time to name it.
The so-called stories of my childhood? They are no more about the reality of what happened to me than is my cat's lose hair stuck to the cushion where she sleeps ACTUALLY my cat. (Great line for the book's intro, by the way.)
I think about my piano keyboard right now, and imagine that there are notes that are so high and so low that they don't actually exist on the keyboard because they lie outside the range of human ability to detect them.
My life with my mother was like that. What actually happened DID happen because NOBODY detected the 'notes' my mother was playing for me. It is my challenge as a writer to transpose the experience of being raised as my mother's inhuman, evil devil's child into a range of notes-words that CAN be heard by others.
Because in the reality of my childhood with my mother words were contaminated weapons, I have to chose words now carefully and run them through a filter so that they can be cleaned and detoxified, decontaminated and made safe for human consumption.
What happened to me from the moment I was born and continued over the next 18 years of my childhood happened 'under the cloak of darkness'. My mother was able to effectively construct and maintain two worlds. One of these worlds on one side of her Borderline was designed to deceive the public. On the other side of her Borderline was the world that she designed, constructed and maintained JUST FOR ME as her evilness projection.
It is evidently my job to transpose what happened to me on the darkest side of her Borderline into language that can be understood by 'the public'. I ask two questions:
(1) Is it possible write about wordless terror?
(2) Is it possible to write of this terror beautifully?
In other words, it is time for both me and my newly found writing assistant to become WORD WARRIORS.

Warriors' Kevin Durant just wants to play and go home. It's not that simple
Long before he told a reporter to "grow up" Wednesday night, Kevin Durant won the Pro Basketball Writers Association's Magic Johnson Award for his cooperation with media.
It was spring 2011, and Durant — the 22-year-old face of the Oklahoma City Thunder — had built a reputation as one of the NBA's nicest All-Stars. His easygoing personality made him approachable. Instead of rushing through interviews, Durant often lingered, speaking with an awareness and insight that belied his youth.
From time to time, Durant — now 30 and in his third season with the Warriors — still shows media that candid, introspective side. But such revealing moments are less frequent than early in his NBA career. After enduring debate and speculation about his big decisions for almost a half-decade, Durant has grown wary of reporters.
A breaking point came after Wednesday's 141-102 win over the Spurs, when he ripped the media for coverage of his pending free agency this summer. Durant denied having anything to do with the Knicks' decision to trade Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas last week and free up two max-salary slots. Pressed on why he hadn't spoken publicly in nine days, Durant said, "I just don't trust none of y'all. ... I just want to play ball. I want to go to the gym and go home."
Since signing with Golden State in July 2016, Durant has made his desire to just play ball well known. At his core, he is a hoops junkie who, in many ways, has not gotten comfortable with the relentless scrutiny that comes with being one of the greatest players in NBA history.
Durant's biggest problem in that regard seems to be that he can't help himself. Numerous times in recent years, he has bemoaned a narrative, only to fuel that story line by tweeting under a burner account, posting a regrettable Instagram comment or simply saying the wrong thing.
To quell speculation about him teaming with close friend Kyrie Irving in New York next season, Durant could have addressed the issue after a loss to Philadelphia on Jan. 31, mere hours after news of the Porzingis trade broke. A quick "I'm not going to talk about free agency" wouldn't have silenced the chatter, but it would have at least taken some of the burden off of Durant to field questions about it.
Instead, Durant shirked his media responsibilities — a requirement of his $30 million contract this season. His silence only amplified speculation about his pending free agency. That this so upset Durant raises questions about his understanding about how the NBA operates.
Few subjects mean more to basketball fans than where their favorite players could sign next season, and media members work to get answers. Every All-Star-caliber player, not just Durant, fields free-agency questions during contract seasons. Durant is within his rights to skip interviews at the risk of getting fined, but that won't keep reporters from trying to further their readers' understanding.
The notion that Durant could "go to the gym and go home" runs counter to a key marketing aspect of the NBA and its players. Durant is worth roughly $170 million not just because he's a generational player and savvy businessman, but because fans — the same ones who want to know about his pending free agency — are buying tickets to see him play, and jerseys and sneakers to look like him.
Moments before Durant told a reporter from the Athletic on Wednesday to "grow up," Durant said, "Y'all come in here every day, ask me about free agency, ask my teammates, my coaches. You rile up the fans about it." In reality, however, Durant had been questioned publicly about free agency on only a handful of occasions this season: in training camp, after his mid-November spat with teammate Draymond Green, and each time the Warriors twice played New York.
Asked whether the noise surrounding Durant's future is weighing on Durant more than in previous months, Stephen Curry cut to the root of his teammate's issue, saying, "I think it's him not being able to control his voice." In his 12th NBA season, Durant still wants to shape the narrative around him.
Early in his career, when many thought he wouldn't leave Oklahoma City, Durant seldom got upset with the media because he faced less cutting scrutiny. Now that many stories about him have undermined his allegiances to teammates and to winning, Durant isn't in the running for another Magic Johnson Award.
"He's focusing on basketball, and that's what he should do," said Curry, the 2015 recipient of the Magic Johnson Award. "We want to see that KD every day and, so, what he can't control is BS that happens in the media or people making the decision for him, or all this other stuff."

I understand that I am allowed to gift £3,000 tax-free to each of my children every year. My question is: how should this be done so that it isn't viewed as income that they need to pay tax on?
Also, am I correct in thinking that as no gift was made last year I can therefore gift £6,000 this year?
If you make an outright gift to an individual and then pass away within seven years, the gift amount may be added back into your estate and considered for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes. IHT is only payable if your estate is worth more than £325,000 when you die. If no inheritance tax is due on the estate, then no tax would be payable on the gift.
Some cash gifts are exempt from inheritance tax, regardless of the seven-year rule. These include the annual gift exemption of £3,000 a year. However, this is not per child, it is the total that you are allowed to gift – for example, if you have three children you could give them exempt gifts of £1,000 each, every year. You are correct in thinking that you could gift an exempt amount of up to £6,000 this year if you did not use your annual exemption in the previous tax year. A married couple could therefore gift a combined exempt amount of £6,000 a year, or £12,000 if no gifts were made in the previous tax year.
There are also exemptions for small gifts. You can give up to £250 each to as many people as you like in any one tax year. However, you cannot give a larger sum and claim exemption for the first £250 and you cannot use this allowance together with any other exemptions when giving to the same person.
Wedding gifts are also exempt. Each parent can give £5,000 to each child. A grandparent can give each grandchild £2,500, and anybody else can give the newlyweds £1,000.
Spouses can give each other as much as they like, providing both live in the UK.
A lot of people do not realise that regular gifts made as part of your normal expenditure can also be exempt from inheritance tax. So, if you wanted to be even more generous, you could consider gifting on a regular basis from your income, provided your income comfortably supports such gifts.
Be aware though, regular gifts from expenditure would be closely scrutinised on death by HMRC, so it is important that you maintain records of regular gifts made, your net income and expenditure.
In terms of documenting one- off gifts for tax purposes, many of my clients give their children a letter at the same time as making the gift payment. If you did write a letter, you may wish to include key details about the gift being made, such as the amount, date, that it is a non-repayable gift, and be clear about who is actually making the gift. This would be an adequate record for your children to be able to evidence that the funds are a gift and not taxable income.
I would also advise you to keep a copy of this document for your own records to evidence your gifts and annual exemptions.
Moneywise adds: Inheritance tax – who pays what?
If you have an estate worth more than £325,000 upon your death then inheritance tax is levied on the value above that threshold. So, if you are worth £400,000, then tax would be due on £75,000.
From 6 April 2017 you also have an additional nil-rate band that applies to
your main residence in the case of your direct descendants, such as children or grandchildren, inheriting the property or a share of it. This was introduced this year with a limit of £100,000.
So if your estate is above the inheritance- tax threshold and part of that estate is a residential property, you get an additional £100,000 allowance that can be used against the value of the property. This will increase to £125,000 in the 2018/19 tax year and continue to rise each year until it hits £175,000 in the 2020/21 tax year.
Inheritance tax is levied at a rate of 40% in most cases. The only exception to this is if you donate at least 10% of your estate to charity, then the rate falls to 36% on some assets.
Although there is a lot written about inheritance tax, and many of us worry about it, in fact very few people pay it. The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that 7.1% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2015/16.

As the dedicated catering partner for Illuminate at the Science Museum, we have catered some wonderful events since the official launch in March 2019. However, on the 8th May we were honoured to cater for the Annual Director's Dinner which is one of the most important events in the Museum's calendar. Furthermore, this was the first time the event had taken place outside of a gallery space which made it all the more exciting.
Illuminate offers a brilliant monochromatic blank canvas space with stunning views of the city of London, so with this is mind we styled the event with grey and white tones accented with brightly coloured glassware. The three-course meal was seasonal and sustainable with a vegan starter and an ethically-caught fish main course. The dessert was the main talking point for guests: 'Eclipse: Guinness sponge, caramel pollen, white chocolate and cherry' perfectly depicts its namesake and further enhances the monochromic style of the venue.

Art and design have always been part of my life. It started with a degree in mixed media textiles at Loughborough University, then, as well as making art, I worked in a variety of creative environments involving diverse media for both fashion and interiors.
From 2001 to 2008, I moved to India, and my work took me to China and Vietnam. The intensity of life in these countries affected me deeply and this was a reflective time for me personally and artistically.
Now based in London, my work is drawn on the nature of time and memory, recording the intangible.

Guilford had 15 turnovers in its first two games and lost by 72 points. "It looked like we were going to get blown out every game," first-year coach Bruce Bazsali said.
Just two weeks later, the Vikings (2-2) are tied for third in the NIC-10 after winning 56-20 Friday at Freeport.
"We didn't know that, and that's really exciting, but that wasn't our goal," quarterback Julian Haynie said. "This game was really key for our season. We had no choice but to win. But we're not satisfied."
Freeport (1-3) was coming off its first win over Harlem in 10 years, but the Vikings scored early and often.
"We played a complete game finally," Bazsali said. "We still had two fumbles near the goal line and had a touchdown called back. We probably could have scored 70 points. If we play mistake-free football, we can compete with people.
"We kept digging in. I'm really happy with the way our kids played with emotion. We played as a team and we played with discipline. We lacked all three of those things the first two weeks."

The Honey Bee Shortage
Talk at UC Riverside to Focus on What's Wrong and What's Right With Bees
Entomologist P. Kirk Visscher's talk on April 22 to discuss honey bee shortage
(April 20, 2009)
NEWS MEDIA CONTACTName: Iqbal Pittalwala
Tel: (951) 827-6050
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
P. Kirk Visscher is an associate professor of entomology at UC Riverside.
P. Kirk Visscher, an associate professor of entomology at UC Riverside, will discuss the honey bee colony collapse, the bee society and bees' relations with humans in an hour-long talk at 7:30 a.m., Wednesday, April 22, in Rooms D/E, UCR Extension Center, 1200 University Avenue, Riverside, Calif.
The talk, titled "What's Wrong and What's Right with Bees," is part of the Citizens University Committee (CUC) breakfast meeting. The cost for the event is $18 for members and $22 for non-members; the event includes a breakfast buffet.
"Among insects, honey bees occupy a unique position with respect to humans," Visscher said. "They have excited human wonder as long as there have been humans and bees living side by side—since before our written history. Their contribution to U.S. agricultural production alone is valued at more than $10 billion. In recent years, colony health problems have threatened this industry, and research is underway to clarify the causes."
Visscher explained that foreign competition has held honey prices to marginally-profitable or unprofitable levels at the same time as beekeepers have been less able to find good pasture for their bees where agricultural chemicals do not harm them.
"Added to this, there are a number of new pests and diseases affecting the bees," he said. "All these led to a drop in bee numbers. However, this last year saw considerable recovery, as more than enough bees were available to pollinate almonds in California in February, the single largest consumer of honey bee pollination services."
Researchers in several states are trying to determine which of the possible bee diseases may be responsible for increased losses, and to develop effective countermeasures such as breeding disease-resistant bees, beekeeping practices that promote better colony health, and new treatments to destroy pests or suppress disease.
When Visscher was a young boy, his parents moved west from Cleveland, Ohio. They included two hives of bees in the trunk of their car. Visscher "took" with the bees, helping with his father's hobby in Montana. Later, as an undergraduate at Harvard University, he began researching honey bee social behavior.
"Honey bees remain fascinating," he said. "Their communication is the quintessential example of symbolic communication outside of human language. The organization of work in their societies and decision-making mechanisms have been adapated for human-engineered systems that face similar problems of reliably coordinating the activity of many components or individuals with noisy information."
Visscher received his master's and doctoral degrees in entomology from Cornell University. After a postdoctoral appointment in neurobiology and behavior at Cornell, he joined UCR's Department of Entomology in 1990.
He has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals. He has served as president of the North American Section for the Study of Social Insects and Section Cb of the Entomological Society of America. He received a distinguished service award from the United States Department of Agriculture and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
His research on the social behavior of bees spans from questions of how conflicts of genetic interest within the colony are resolved to how bees communicate and organize their foraging and decision making. He also is involved in research on bee breeding and colony health.
More information about the CUC event is available by contacting the UC Office of Governmental and Community Relations: (951) 827-5184 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also presenting at the April 22 breakfast meeting is Juan Felipe Herrera, a professor of creative writing at UCR. Herrera will speak about the 22nd annual Tomás Rivera Conference, which takes place Friday, April 24, on campus.
The CUC is UCR's oldest continuous support group. It formed in 1948 to lobby the California State Legislature to locate a campus of the University of California in Riverside at the site of the Citrus Experiment Station. In 1949, the legislature passed appropriations to build a Riverside campus and UCR opened its doors in February of 1954.
Today the CUC provides a means for the community to tap into the cultural, intellectual and social vitality of the UCR campus. The group hosts monthly breakfasts, which highlight the latest cutting-edge research initiatives the faculty is undertaking.
The University of California, Riverside (www.ucr.edu) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment has exceeded 21,000 students. The campus opened a medical school in 2013 and has reached the heart of the Coachella Valley by way of the UCR Palm Desert Center. The campus has an annual statewide economic impact of more than $1 billion.
A broadcast studio with fiber cable to the AT&T Hollywood hub is available for live or taped interviews. UCR also has ISDN for radio interviews. To learn more, call (951) UCR-NEWS.

Christian Cautions
The Necessity of Self-Examination
Jonathan Edwards
Dated September 1733.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." — Psalm 139:23, 24
Subject: Persons should be much concerned to know whether they do not live in some way of sin.
This psalm is a meditation on the omniscience of God, or upon his perfect view and knowledge of everything, which the psalmist represents by that perfect knowledge which God had of all his actions, his downsitting and his uprising; and of his thoughts, so that he knew his thoughts afar off; and of his words, "There is not a word in my tongue," says the psalmist, "but thou knowest it altogether." Then he represents it by the impossibility of fleeing from the divine presence, or of hiding from him. So that if he should go into heaven, or hide himself in hell, or fly to the uttermost parts of the sea, yet he would not be hid from God. Or if he should endeavor to hide himself in darkness, yet that would not cover him. But the darkness and light are both alike to him. Then he represents it by the knowledge which God had of him while in his mother's womb, Psa. 139:15, 16, "My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret; thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written."

South San Francisco, CA January 4, 2015
Two of our neighbors living on Mission Road have reported vehicles that had windows smashed in and objects stolen. The incident appears to have happened early yesterday morning.
"This morning as I was leaving home with my family we saw 2 cars with smashed windows parked outside my building complex. The first one was a work truck and the 2nd seemed to be a family car. The 2nd car was parked in front of my boyfriends car.We were so thankful that his car was not touched but it definitely alarmed me because there has been so many times that family friends or myself have parked on that street " neighbor Clarissa Rivera says, "My thoughts~ is this becoming a trend in SSF? I have lived in this same area for almost 10 years and this is the first time that I really felt well let's just say.. Not safe. My thoughts go out to those that were affected by it and Just hope that it doesn't continue."
