* U.S. tariffs on $200 bln of Chinese goods expected in Sept
* Material sector drops as metal prices hit by trade woes
* Dollar Tree hit by bleak forecast
* EA falls on delayed game launch, bookings forecast cut
* Indexes: Dow down 0.33 pct, S&P off 0.20 pct; Nasdaq up 0.12 pct (Adds comments, updates to early afternoon)
By Shreyashi Sanyal
Aug 30 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped on Thursday, after four sessions of gains, over concerns about the U.S.-China trade war, but gains in technology stocks helped lift the Nasdaq.
Washington has proposed slapping tariffs on a further $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, which will come into effect next month after a public comment period ends on Wednesday, Sept. 5.
Metal prices fell as the Sino-U.S. trade tensions upstaged optimism that the United States and Canada could clinch a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The S&P materials index sank 1.27 percent, the most among the 11 major S&P sectors. Trade-sensitive industrials fell 0.5 percent, led by Caterpillar's 1.2 percent decline.
However, high-profile technology stocks provided support. Facebook was up 2 percent and Apple rose 1.4 percent.
Amazon rose as much as 1.4 percent to a record high of $2,025.57, moving closer to joining Apple in the $1 trillion market cap club. Amazon was last up 1.3 percent.
"I would never bet against the tech leaders, because every single time the markets have ticked down the tech stocks seemed to have eventually gained enough to close the markets higher and today should be no different," said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network in Waltham, Massachusetts.
At 12:49 p.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 87.09 points, or 0.33 percent, at 26,037.48, the S&P 500 was down 5.79 points, or 0.20 percent, at 2,908.25 and the Nasdaq Composite was up 10.08 points, or 0.12 percent, at 8,119.77.
The declines come after a four-day run of record gains for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.
"Markets were at new highs, so they are due for a pullback now. Since earnings season has ended, the focus is going to shift from earnings to economic news," said John Augustine, chief investment officer at Huntington Private Bank in Columbus, Ohio.
Eight of the 11 S&P sectors were lower, with financial and energy stocks dragging the S&P lower.
Dollar Tree slid 13.2 percent, the most on the S&P, after reporting lower margins and forecasting a disappointing full-year profit.
Electronic Arts fell 9.5 percent after the videogame maker delayed the launch of "Battlefield V" by 4 weeks and trimmed its full-year net bookings forecast.
Signet Jewelers soared 25.4 percent after the company topped sales and profit estimates and raised its full-year sales forecast.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.75-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.21-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded 29 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 78 new highs and 30 new lows. (Reporting by Shreyashi Sanyal in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

I have been thinking very hard about what color to paint the master bedroom in my new house, and I could not come up with anything that appealed to me, until I saw this quilt in Walmart last night. I'm not sure if the photo does it justice, it is a pretty robins egg blue and cream, and I'm now sold on this color scheme. It's soft and relaxing and clean-looking, perfect for a restful retreat.
The wall color in the photo does not really match the actual color of this quilt, in person it was definitely the teensiest bit greenish. I think I will have to buy this, but not until after Christmas.

OWN blesses pedestrian overpass proposal
A citizen proposal for a pedestrian overpass at 25th Street, as part of the state's future Highway 24 expansion project, gained the approval of the Organization of
Westside Neighbors (OWN) board at its meeting Nov. 11.
The board listened to a presentation from Kenyon Jordan, representing the Westside Pioneer, which had initiated the idea as an "editorial campaign" when the highway expansion planning effort started in 2004.
The Pioneer at that time had gathered petition signatures from Midland-area residents, whose pedestrians have faced challenges crossing the highway since it was built in the early 1960s.
According to OWN President Welling Clark, the neighborhood-advocacy group will send letters to area entities that could sway the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to include the overpass as a safety enhancement deserving of project funding.
CDOT's draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the expansion plan currently includes an at-grade intersection at 26th Street. According to CDOT project leader Dave Watt at the Oct. 28 OWN meeting, the $240 million project could include the suggested pedestrian overpass at 25th Street - but only if local governments wanted to pay for it. He gave the current estimated cost as $500,000.
Watt said the project planning team believes that pedestrians would be able to cross safely at 26th despite an expansion project that would widen Highway 24 from four to six lanes between I-25 and Ridge Road.
One question the OWN board asked the Pioneer Nov. 11 was whether enough people would use a pedestrian overpass at 25th to justify its expense. No formal survey has been done, although, as the Pioneer has previously reported, pedestrians/bicyclists cross there now. The extent of this practice is evident in that there is a break in the fence at 25th Street on each side of the highway, and it has been that way for many years.
The Pioneer thinking is that vehicle traffic is light on 25th, that the bridge would provide a safer pedestrian access, especially for children and the elderly, and that the amenity could even increase the number of Old Colorado City shoppers.
The proposal includes the suggestion that at least some of the overpass money could be found by rethinking the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (RTA) project list that currently budgets $464,000 to replace the 25th Street bridge at Naegele Road by 2013. Meanwhile, under the CDOT expansion plans, the bridge would be removed.
The Pioneer suggestion to OWN is that the RTA consider repairing instead of replacing the historically styled span and use the savings toward the future pedestrian overpass.
CDOT has considered the 25th Street idea, Watt said. In 2008, he had suggested the amenity could be funded under a federal requirement to "mitigate" such project impacts as separation of the Midland neighborhood from Old Colorado City and the adverse effect on two public schools north of the highway (West Middle and Coronado High School) of having to bus in Midland-area students south of the highway. In 2009, CDOT open houses on aesthetic guidelines for the project included a a historically styled design for a pedestrian bridge at 25th Street.
An actual construction date for the Highway 24 expansion is unknown, although CDOT officials have said it is likely to be phased in over time. The most recent estimate for the 26th Street work (by the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments) is sometime after 2030.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (April 26, 2014) – A Michigan man is getting his prized 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, valued at more than $100,000, back after a man tried to sell it to him after it was stolen.
Keith Parmer offered at $20,000 reward for the vehicle after it was stolen while he was in Indianapolis for the 2013 Good Guy's Car Show held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Parmer's Chevelle was one of five vehicles stolen on September 22, 2013; including a 1949 Chevy custom truck and a 2002 Chevy Dually pickup. Those two vehicles were recovered five days after they were stolen, but not Parmer's Chevelle.
Parmer, who is from Holt according to published reports, told our affiliate FOX59 news that his Chevelle was in a locked trailer outside the Wyngate Hotel when it was stolen. Thieves cut the locks off the trailer and lowered the ramp in order to steal the car.
Seven months later, the original owners of the Chevelle, Parmer and Terrie Perkins, got a phone call from a man who identified himself as "Herb".
"Herb" told Parmer he'd traded a motorcycle and $20,000 cash for the Chevelle, and told Parmer he wanted to return the Chevelle, but needed to recoup the $20,000 from the alleged trade.

"Herb" told Parmer he'd give him two weeks to come up with the money, or he'd been forced to sell the car for parts.
After that phone call in late March, Parmer contacted police, who set up a meeting with "Herb" in Hamilton County, Indiana on April 12. During the phone call to set up that meeting, "Herb" said he was still looking to recoup his $20,000, but agreed to sell the Chevelle for $10,000.
Undercover officers waited in a parking lot where the meeting was supposed to take place and took "Herb" into custody when he arrived with the Chevelle. A continued investigation by the Indiana State Police led to an arrest warrant for "Herb" on April 25, who's been identified as 31-year-old Herbert Lee Jones III.
Jones faces charges of Receiving Stolen Property worth at least $100,000; and Auto Theft, both felonies. Published reports indicate the 1970 Chevy Chevelle was recovered intact.

By James F. (Jim) Wieck
You might know us as Wieck Media, the name we've served clients proudly behind for years. We love the media, but it's time to drop it out of our name.
For a long time now, we've talked about changing our name. "Media" means different things to different people in the industry these days.
me·di·a (noun)
the main means of mass communication (especially television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet) regarded collectively. Synonyms: the press, the fourth estate, the news, the papers.
By definition, media refers to all forms of mass communication. But with the evolution of agencies and technology, the context of "media" can vary. Some have asked if we're a media placement agency, and, while we can assist clients in that area, it's not our focus.
We've been mistaken for a print shop and a magazine publisher during our time as "Wieck Media."
More and more, industry notes "media" behind companies and organizations that produce or place the media, especially physical media. And while we do create media, our role as developers, enablers, and strategists for our clients wasn't accurately portrayed by our use of the word.
So we dropped it. Now we're just Wieck.
To you, our readers, friends, and clients, this name change will save you five characters when you write us emails, text or tweet about us. For us as Wieck, it gives us a chance to redefine our characters, both on the screen and off.

The greatest time of immigration in the United States took
place between 1820 and 1924. During this time, thirty-five million immigrants
came to the United States from countries all over the world. They came from
different places, but came for some of the same reasons. This web-quest will
help you compare and contrast early immigrant experiences with the experiences
of a modern-day immigrant your own age.

He kicks off the album with "Red Dress," and that blues guitar sounds so good right from the start. The rhythm is a steady thumping, and the vocals sound almost like they're delivered by folks at a party shouting in the direction of a microphone. So loose, so cool. It's kind of a goofy song, and I love it. The lyrics are fairly simple, repeating "Honey, put that red dress, that red dress on." And then it becomes like the Dr. Seuss of blues songs: "Red dress, blue dress/Red dress, green." Yup, this is a whole lot of fun. The band kind of keeps that up with a back porch blues song that will appeal to children, "Cereal Song," its opening lines being "I got my cereal in the bowl/With lots of milk and it's nice and cold." And further lines mention various sugar cereals: "Count Chocula can be scary/But I just love my Franken Berry." Yeah, it's silly, but I dig the harmonica and the rhythm. Did breakfast cereals ever sound like such a party? I wish I had this much energy in the morning.
Then "Best Foot Forward" is a mellower tune with a positive, optimistic feel. Its opening lines are: "Small motel/Large suitcase/A new road out/From the same old place/Open the door/Kick out the past/The sun is shining/And a new die is cast." The song has a pleasant, relaxed feel, but is encouraging. And don't we all need that these days? Eric Sommer switches gears again with "Doin' Wrong," which has more of a rock and roll sound. Check out these lines: "I got a serious job in a room full of clowns/The sun came out and my tires were flat/I ended up living in a laundromat/Well, tell me what I'm doing wrong/This can't be going on/You tell me that you love me, and that sounds good/I told everybody in the neighborhood." The chorus is catchy, and I was singing along with it the second time I listened to this disc.
"Cover My Soul" is more in the folk vein, but with a nice rhythm. What I really like about this track is Eric's work on guitar. There is also a cool section where the bass gets swinging. "What A Day I Had" also has something of a folk feel. "I took my hand, covered my eyes." Ah, that's what I want to do every time I see photos or footage of that creep currently pretending to be president. And a song with a title like "Death Ray Cataclysm" must have a positive, peppy sound, right? Indeed, it does. "Carnival atmosphere where you stand/Black and white movie that got out of hand." The CD then concludes with "Hold Your Hand," a bluesy, energetic rocking number to get you off your seat.
CD Track List
- Red Dress
- Cereal Song
- Best Foot Forward
- Doin' Wrong
- Cover My Soul
- What A Day I Had

The penultimate post in my series explaining the compensatory pick possibilities for each team takes a look at the remaining teams in the AFC South.
Click here to review the Unrestricted Free Agents lost and signed by each team during the qualifying period of the 2009 offseason.
Click here to read why Houston will not get any comp picks this year.
Indianapolis — The Colts did not sign any qualifying players. They should receive a seventh-round comp pick for the loss of Darrell Reid and possibly a seventh-rounder for the loss of Hunter Smith, if he qualifies.
Jacksonville — The Jaguars signed two players who will qualify and lost two players who definitely will qualify and one (Khalif Barnes) who likely will qualify. If Barnes does qualify as a player lost, the Jaguars should receive a sixth-round comp pick for Mike Peterson. If Barnes does not qualify, the Jaguars will not get a comp pick.
Tennessee — The Titans lost six players who will qualify, including the highest-valued player who qualifies, Albert Haynesworth. They signed two players who will qualify and one (Mark Jones) who is on the bubble. They will get the highest third-round comp pick for Haynesworth and either two or three other comp picks, depending on whether Jones qualifies. The Titans' other comp picks should be in the seventh round, but one has an outside chance of being in the sixth round.
The final installment will cover the remaining AFC West teams — San Diego, Oakland and Kansas City.
Previous posts covered a handful of the teams who will not receive a comp pick, the NFC East and NFC North, the NFC South and NFC West, the AFC East and the AFC North.

Glengormley High School will continue to develop with no uncertainty over its future, according to principal Lex Hayes.
Speaking at the school's annual prize distribution, Mr. Hayes said that local area planning has had "far-reaching effects for everyone in our schools, both primary and secondary, but particularly for secondary schools in this area".
He stated that the merging of Monkstown and Newtownabbey schools has reduced the choice for pupils and parents in the area, but as the largest school, there is no uncertainty over the future of Glengormley High,
Mr. Hayes said: "The first indicator of a good school is, I believe, the number of pupils that I see excelling and succeeding in this school. The number of accolades that we win in all areas of our school life tells me that this is an excellent school.
"The evidence that I see in performing arts, music and the artworks and moving image productions by pupils tell me that this is an excellent school. The commitment I see from my staff every day tells me that this is an excellent school."
"Our GCSE results have seen our pupils achieve at record levels in external examinations. The number reaching the government benchmark of five plus grades at A* – C and the achievement across the whole ability range at GCSE, last year, is a new record level for this school.
"The post-16 results in diplomas, AS level and A level courses have also improved on the results of previous years. Our pupils now achieve at A to C in almost 80 per cent of exams in all subjects. This is a fantastic record in the most challenging exams in Europe.
"Away from the academic sphere, the success of our pupils in sport has maintained our excellent record in that arena."
The principal continued to pay tribute to the commitment of staff for their "selfless efforts" and "lifelong commitment to sport and young people" and the dedication of young people.
Mr. Hayes pointed out that work will begin this term on landscaping and gate facilities and new library, maths, toilet and special needs facilities at Glengormley High.
He noted: "In a time of austerity, this is, literally, concrete proof that what we are doing here is working and is recognised in the most real terms, money, by the people who look after education in Northern Ireland.
"The provision of high-quality educational outcomes for students in these uncertain times is more important than ever. The need for
qualifications is greater than ever for our young people to secure a high quality of life for them and their families.
"There is no longer easy access to higher education, there is less choice and more competition if you cannot afford to go to university in Scotland, England or Wales. To enter higher education or the world of work is tougher than at any time in my lifetime.
"You need to make the most of your abilities, your skills and your talents and the first step is to work hard at all you do in life, in school and outside."

Yesterday (20 February 2016), I came across an article on the lectures by Rajneesh, He says when you want bring out what comes in your mind, you are engaging in subjective creativity. Make your mind calm through meditation and think of what others want. Find out with a calm mind what others want. Then let your intellect think how to provide a service.
I think blog authors also have to do a similar thing for sustained success. If you can find out what readers want and write according to their needs, you will get blog success. But how to do it? You must have a good network of interested contacts or readers. May be difficult for many bloggers. It is difficult for me also. But then knowing some principle or idea is the beginning point. We will get a solution only when start thinking about an issue for which a solution has to be found. Development in research & development is using the output of research which is a principle in a useful way to get the desired outcome.
So think of the ideas

Quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing about Barack Obama and his pastor. However, I do think that maybe it has opened a door to revealing people's real feelings about race in America.
Many black people found it hard to understand the big fuss over Reverend Wright's comments. He didn't really say much that was factually inaccurate (although of course people will debate his assertions on HIV) and to be honest he didn't say much that many other black people have not said before. I guess what happened in this case is that stuff is that is usually said behind closed doors became public property. However, regardless of whether or not one agrees with Rev Wright, I'm glad that the wider public is now aware of some of the thoughts and feelings that some black people have about race.
I was pretty disgusted by the comments made by MSNBC political commentator Pat Buchanan in a blog post of his entitled "A Brief For Whitey". A Brief For Whitey was his response to Obama's speech on race. Buchanan wrote – in all seriousness – "…no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream". He then goes on to ask "Where is the gratitude?"
I wanted to ask him "are you f***ing serious?! But you know what? Yes he is. And, just as Reverend Wright's comments are representative of the thoughts and feelings of some of the African American community, Buchanan's comments are also representative of the thoughts and feelings of some white people.
I don't agree with Buchanan, but it's important to hear what he has to say because it's only once we are able to have really honest discussions about race – including hearing some of the viewpoints that we find offensive, extreme or even abhorrent – that change will really come.
Part of the problem with race-related discussions is that people do not feel able to say what they really want to say, and this leads to resentment. We don't deal with race head on by tip toeing around the issue and only saying what people want to hear. I always say that I'm less afraid of people who are only openly racist than those who say they aren't, but spout their bigoted views in private.
So let's have more of this real talk. Let everyone get their real views off their chest and then let's start addressing them.

Handa´s Surprise
Activities To Prepare children for reading
1.The children of our class learn the vocabulary of the fruits.
Materials of this activity are the fruit flashcards, and some coloured flashcards.
We have to see with the class all of the fruits flashcards, and teach them their names and the correct pronunciation… After, to check that they have learned we try to repeat the same flashcards with them. For example, a banana, an apple, an orange, a pineapple...
For example, yellow, orange, brown, green, black, white...
The teacher takes the fruits again and she/he asks to the class: What is this? It is a apple, it is a banana, it is an orange.
The teacher asks: What colour is it? When they answer correctly, they have to make a sentence with the object and the colour. For example: Banana is yellow and apple is green.
The principal aims of this activity are to learn more vocabulary and to improve making correct sentences. Also, it could be a help remember the story Handa when we read.
3. Animals
The children of our class learn the vocabulary of something, the animals. The materials of this activity are animal's flashcards and animal toys.
We have to see with the class all the animals' flashcards, and teach them their names, the correct pronunciation… After, to check that they have learned we try to repeat the same flashcards with them. For example, a monkey, an elephant, a zebra, a tiger...
The teacher takes the animals again and she/he asks to the class: what animals is this? Is it a monkey, is it an elephant and is it a zebra ...
4. Another activity
Children free play with animals toys and the teacher ask each child: What is your favourite animal? My favourite animal es an elephant, and children draw animal in teir notebook. Now ..
5. Best Friend
What is your favourite or best friend? My friend is.., and draws her friend in their notebook too.
The principal aims of this activity are to learn more vocabulary and to improve making correct sentences. Also, this could help remember the story Handa when they read.
6. I went to the zoo and saw ...
Begin the game by modelling the example sentence: "I went to the zoo and saw a tall giraffe". The first pupil repeats the model sentence and adds the name of another animal (and also, he/she have to add one adjective to the word).
The game is continued around the classroom with each pupil, in turn, repeating what has been said before and adding a new word.
This game is very good for increasing their short term memory and putting into practice lexical sets. This game is open to possible adaptations (changing the topic, words following the alphabet...).
7. Colour call
This is a quick reaction game. It is especially good with children, who get restless and need a release for their energy from time to time.
The players stand in a circle. One player has a paper ball. He throws it to another player in the circle, at the same time calling out a colour. The second player must catch the ball and, upon catching it, call out the name of something that is that colour (a fruit, an animal…). He, in turn, tosses the paper to the next player, shouting out the name of a different colour and so on.
Activities during reading the history
Work with the DVD
- Pupils have to watch the DVD (the real book) and listen to the dialogues very carefully.
- Then, pupils have to read aloud the adapted story (readers).
- After, pupils have to practice the new vocabulary. Pupils have to identify fruits and animals in the text.
- The children have to watch this DVD two times.
- Teacher write in another list Handa`s actions verbs: to walk, to go to see her friend and to give a present.
And at the same time the teacher has to make on the blackboard a disordered list of six animals and six fruits.
The principal's objectives of this list are to write correctly the names of the animals, fruits and understand the animals in actions. Each child has to copy this list in their notebook, and draw fruits.
6. Where do Handa and Akeyo live? Which continent? What do you think? They live in Africa.
1. Phisycal Description
What is Handa like?
Pupils have to describe Handa's face (eyes, ears, nose, and mouth), skin (white, dark/black), hair (short, long, straight, curly)
2. Talk About ... Commprehension
Talk about this picture?
3. Pupils answer these quiestions
- What is the favourite fruit of Akeyo? Tangerines. The favourite fruit of Akeyo is a tangerine.
- What are Handa and Akeyo doing?! Look at the picture: Handa and Akeyo are eating and sharing a tangerine. They are good friends.
5. We establish a temporal sequence
Throughout the pictures representing the story. This way, the student places each picture in the right order following the correct story telling.
Students should remember the story, as it develops.
6. Think about other end for the story and draw it
7. Teacher said the children
Handa gives her friend, Akeyo, some tangerines. Why? Because a goat (the horns of a goat strike) strikes a tangerine tree and the tangerines fall on Handa's basket.

Carla: I just don't get what's so great about kids. I mean, "yay! you went poopie in the potty!" There's a monkey at the zoo that can do that… you know, when he's not playing with himself.
J.D.: So, don't have kids.
Carla: But I want to be a mom more than anything else in the world! I know it's crazy, but I'm a girl: it's how we roll.
with Impulsive Addict and Seriously Shawn
This week Match had another busy couple of days off. It started with him being a DUI testing volunteer at the police academy. Basically he got to sit around and drink with a bunch of his peers, and the cadets had to test their blood alcohol content. Except Match may have gone a little overboard. I think he forgot that he rarely drinks nowadays, and the poor guy ended up super sick, and I had to pack up Piglet, and drive an hour in rush hour traffic to pick his drunken butt up. His coworkers were so worried I'd be mad, but I said it was a good sign. It means he doesn't overdo it on a regular basis. I'm ok with him having a low tolerance. Unfortunately it meant he was pretty much useless around the house for the next 24 hours, but oh well. He never gets to let loose, and it was pretty funny.
Wednesday night Match went on a second ride along with the department he's hoping to transfer to. It was another night ride along, and it's definitely not the safest of cities, and of course I was worried about him. To take my mind off it, I ended up meeting up with a new neighbor friend (met her while walking Piglet in the neighborhood) and her little boy, and heading to a line dancing night. I don't dance, but it was fun to get out of the house and watch everyone else dance. Piglet was mesmerized by the Christmas lights around the dance floor. Makes me very excited for how he'll be at Christmastime! I dressed him up in his little cowboy slippers, and the folks there just couldn't get enough of him. It was great getting out of the house and keeping my mind busy while Match was on his ride along. I loved having Mommy/Son date night.
In funny Piglet related milestones, at 10 weeks he now poops and pees sometimes on the potty (I think the first time was at 9 weeks). The hell you say? Well, I've been reading about elimination communication (google it!) and I think it just sounds like an awesome idea. I'm not as hardcore as the full timers. Basically the idea is not to potty train an infant, but rather watch their cues when they're telling you they need to go, or that they are going, and then you "catch" the poo or pee in a toilet, baby potty, sink, etc. It gets baby used to the idea of going in the potty, instead of in the diaper. It's also great for saving some diapers-I've managed to watch his cues enough that I've saved myself from changing his diaper only to have him poop in the brand new one. A common occurrence with newborns, am I right mommys?
So while in no way do I think he's "trained", (hell, I'm the one who is trained, since I hear his noises and I take him to the toilet) I do think this EC practice just might help him out in the long run with the dreaded potty training. Either way, I figure he's getting used to the idea of a potty, and he doesn't have to sit in a soiled diaper for long. He doesn't seem to mind it too much. He leans back against me and I sing him the ABCs or some silly song about the potty, and he does his thing. I think once he's sitting up I might try placing him on the baby potty and seeing if I can get him to play with his toys and then go that way. We only do it at home right now, and honestly not every time. Usually it's if I see him struggling and uncomfortably trying to go. Or if it's bath time, and I really really don't want him to go in the tub (again, a really common occurrence!)
Anyone else ever tried elimination communication? Have any success with it? Think I'm a total crazy person? It's ok, you can tell me!

After defeats in each of their first four games, Ilkeston Elks' season finally got up and running with a breakthrough win, inspired by the boot of Joel Haigh.
Playing at fly-half for the first time this term, Haigh kicked 19 points as Elks won 34-24 at Dronfield, one of only two teams below them in the Division One East table of the Midlands League.
And the victory was recognised as a triumph for the experience and know-how of playing at this lofty level for the last few years. Good work from the back row was noted throughout the game, while James Vincent enjoyed a strong debut and Sam Humphreys turned in a man-of-the-match display for his clean lineout takes and commitment to the cause, making tackles all over the park.
Kicking downhill in the opening half, Ilkeston promptly lost their first lineout and had to absorb a full ten minutes of Dronfield pressure and possession that eventually told with the game's opening try.
Elks had the better of the next ten minutes and responded with Haigh's first two penalties to edge them in front. But they soon trailed 12-6 as the hosts created an overlap for their right-winger to score.
The penalty count began to mount against Dronfield, who also received a yellow card, and by the interval, Elks led 16-12. Ese Palmer burst through three or four ineffective tackles to touch down behind the posts and Haigh not only converted but also added a third penalty in the 40th minute.
Despite going uphill in the second period, Ilkeston's better discipline allowed them to take control of the game. And when they were awarded another penalty, this time for a high tackle, Haigh was in no mood to miss from 25 metres.
Not long afterwards, Dronfield received a second yellow card, helping Elks to capitalise and increase their lead to 22-12 with a fifth Haigh penalty, this time in front of the posts. And by the 25th minute of the half, the score read 27-12 as Haigh launched a long, diagonal kick over the defensive line and Kartar Soar steamed up the left wing, gathering the ball to touch down for a try.
With the home team back to full strength, they replied with a score of their own, which was converted. But Elks all but sealed their victory when striking again 11 minutes later. Good pressure and interference off a scrum by Soar forced a lineout on the home five-metre line, and after several exchanges in midfield, the visitors opted for a scrum ten metres out. A couple more surges cleared the way through for Chris Tipton to touch down next to the left post.
Dronfield did have the final say, creating an overlap on the right that led to their fourth try of the match. But it was no more than a consolation.
Elks return home this weekend when they entertain mid-table Huntingdon and District, who have won three and lost two of their opening five fixtures of the season. Their following league match is at Wellingborough on Saturday, October 22.

Irish Heritage youth bursary
Irish Heritage started its 2016/17 season with a selection of Irish and international music
Irish Heritage – the body which supports young Irish musicians and composers in the UK – started its new 2016/17 season with a promise of bold and innovative events. Everything ranging from Irish emigrant-inspired performances to pure, classical offerings is covered in the schedule, which kicked off recently with a concert.
The opening night featured performances by the joint winners of last year's inaugural Irish Heritage Music Bursary – mezzo-soprano Carolyn Holt and pianist Máire Carroll. Their well-thought-out programme included a selection of Irish and international music by the likes of Mahler, Bax, Chopin, Field and Hammerstein.
The Thursday night audience at the Royal Overseas League, St James's St in Piccadilly was also treated to the world premiere of London-based Irish composer David Wallace's song-cycle of Yeats' poems.
Following the successes of Carolyn and Máire last year, and the programme in general, Irish Heritage has promised to give its bursary scheme an important position in this year's plans, with the competition scheduled for November 17.
The artistic series for 2016-17 will also feature opera, jazz and traditional performances, as well as individual focus sessions on young Irish artists. A highlight of the season will be the world premiere of London Irish Reflections – a musical and multimedia production based on the stories of Irish emigrants in the capital from the 1950s.
There is also a carol service planned for December as well as fundraising events such as a golf day at Luton Hoo on 30 September and a sit-down dinner in May next year.
Irish Heritage, a voluntary organisation which has been running for more than 40 years, aims to show that it remains the leading champion of young Irish musical talent in Britain. It has helped numerous performers complete their musical education and make their first steps in the industry. Many of those it has supported have gone on to enjoy successful careers and, through its continued efforts, it hopes that this list will continue to grow.

Didier Eribon, Michel Foucault. Translated by Betsy Wing. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1991. Pp. 390. $27.95.
Reviewed by David M. Halperin, MIT.
Those who want to find out the really important facts about Michel Foucault's life -- such as when he started to shave his head, and why -- will be disappointed by Didier Eribon's biography: it displays an oddly pre-Foucauldian indifference to Foucault's own technologies of the self. But it does contain quantities of fascinating information, and anyone intrigued by Foucault will find it both absorbing and instructive.
Here, for example, are some things I learned from it about the publishing history of The Order of Things (1966). Foucault preferred the English title to the French, having originally intended to call his book La Prose du monde, then (when a posthumous text by Merleau-Ponty turned up with that title) L'Ordre des choses; Les Mots et les choses was a back-up title which Foucault's editor Pierre Nora ultimately prevailed on him to adopt. The chapter on Las Meniñas was added to the book at the last moment, with some hesitation (Foucault thought it "too literary"), having been published earlier as an independent essay in Le Mercure de France. Although Foucault's old pal Althusser, as well as Pierre Daix, embraced the book, it was routinely regarded as a right-wing polemic, because its joint critique of phenomenology and Marxism was understood, correctly, as an attack on the tradition of French leftism represented by such figures as Merleau-Ponty and, above all, Sartre (in fact, the proofs contained numerous attacks on Sartre, but Foucault removed them before publication). The book went through six printings in its first year, a total of 21,500 copies. Godard satirized its vogue in La Chinoise (1967) and said in an interview that it was against people like "the Reverend Father Foucault" that he wanted to make films, so that future Foucaults would be prevented from presuming to say, with reference to the present era, "'At such and such a period they thought...'" "Marxism is the [book's] target," Sartre remarked; "it is a matter of establishing a new ideology, the final dam that the bourgeoisie can erect against Marx." "Poor old bourgeoisie," Foucault commented later, "with only my book for its ramparts!" In the context of this political feud, "structuralism" functioned as a code word for anti-Marxism, and that is one of the reasons Foucault -- though an enthusiastic and, at first, admitted practitioner of it -- came to repudiate the label, especially once he had, belatedly, thrown in his lot with the Maoists; he wrote L'Archéologie du savoir partly to dissociate himself from the structuralist reading of The Order of Things. And at one point he became so dissatisfied with the earlier book that he even asked Nora to stop printing it.
This is high-class entertainment. Eribon has worked hard, read widely, and turned up a lot of material, some of it quite obscure. But his basic approach is journalistic (he is an editor of Le Nouvel Observateur) and his preferred mode of inquiry is the interview. The book that results from this method is not a full biography in the conventional sense but a kind of "inside story" designed to serve as background to the public life of the man who was for a time France's leading intellectual. It reads like an academic version of a Hollywood gossip column (most of the information in the preceding paragraph derives not from archival sources -- Eribon has not seen the proofs of Les Mots et les choses, for example -- but from what various people recounted to Eribon years after the actual events). The name-dropping alone is breathtaking: everybody who was anybody in French social and cultural life turns up in these pages, from Simone Signoret to the ayatollah Khomeini. What interests Eribon, and what he does a superb job of reconstructing, is the shifting network of Foucault's personal, academic, intellectual, and political allegiances over more than three decades. He tells us when Foucault started and stopped being friends with dozens of important people; who wrote letters of recommendation for him, voted to hire or not to hire him, gave his books good or bad reviews; how Foucault positioned himself with respect to numerous intellectual movements and trends; when he joined the Communist Party (1950), when he quit the Party (1953), when he became a Maoist (1969), when he exclaimed, to a young militant who had unwisely accosted him in the heat of a demonstration in order to invite him to speak about Marx to a study group, "Don't talk to me about Marx anymore!... Ask someone whose job it is. Someone paid to do it. Ask the Marxist functionaries. Me, I've had enough of Marx" (1975). It would be tempting to retitle this book Michel Foucault: The Career, to think of it as a highly personalized, behind-the-scenes account of the making of a reputation, but in a country with one (state-run) university system based in the capital, and one centralized intellectual life, philosophical and political fashions cannot meaningfully be disentangled from -- nor can they be reduced to -- matters of personal loyalty and professional patronage.
Here, for example, is Eribon's description of Foucault at work on The Archeology of Knowledge: "He wrote furiously and struggled violently with notions of enunciation, discursive formation, regularity, and strategy.... Foucault knew that the stakes were considerable. He had been introduced as Sartre's successor, and the challenged master had launched a harsh counterattack. The fight was on, and if he wanted to make off with the winnings, Foucault must not disappoint the expectations of an eager crowd awaiting the next heated exchange." That Eribon obviously intends this passage to be read not as satire but as high drama conveys more powerfully than anything he could say the agonistic and public character of French intellectual life; it also conveys, more significantly, the disciplinary requirement imposed on Foucault by his public role as a professional "man of knowledge" (and felt occasionally even by those of us lesser folk who work at some remove from the 6è arrondissement) -- the requirement to play what Foucault himself would later call, in another context, "games of truth."
It was precisely in order to define, expose, and resist the disciplinary régimes that regulated his own discursive practice -- whether by compelling him to speak the truth as a state-supported intellectual or by denying him the authority to speak the truth as a madman, left-wing extremist, or homosexual -- that Foucault undertook his political critiques of institutionalized rationality. The story of his life makes it possible to interpret his work, both as a thinker and an activist, as a series of evolving responses and resistances to the "conditions of possibility" that governed his own énoncés. It is this determination to understand the relations of power immanent in his own intellectual, institutional, and erotic practices, to oppose or renegotiate those relations of power from a position already structured by them, and to discover strategies that might frustrate the technologies of a socially empowered rationality which scrupulously isolates, deauthorizes, and silences the mad, the sick, the delinquent, and the perverse -- it is this struggle that represents the real drama of Foucault's life.
The outlines of that drama, though visible in Eribon's narrative, almost entirely escape its author. This is no nowhere more striking than in the pages that document Foucault's virtually simultaneous early experiences as both a patient and a practitioner of psychiatry. While studying for his licence and aggrégation in philosophy at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (which he entered in 1946, shortly before his twentieth birthday), Foucault came under the tutelage of instructors who were interested in psychology, who organized classes in psychopathology and even took their students to see patients at the Hôpital Sainte-Anne and elsewhere. Meanwhile, Foucault was himself experiencing severe psychological difficulties in adjusting to communal life at the ENS: there were apparently episodes of self-mutilation and even a suicide attempt in 1948 (followed by several others, real or staged, during the next years), for which Foucault's parents sent him to consult a psychiatric expert at -- where else? -- the Hôpital Sainte-Anne. At the same time Foucault, having obtained his licence in philosophy at the Sorbonne in 1948, went on to get another one in psychology in 1949, as well as two diplômes from the Institut de Psychologie de Paris in 1949 and 1952, where (while working for the second one -- in pathological psychology, no less!) he studied with the very specialist whom he had consulted as a patient in 1948. Part of Foucault's training at this stage involved treating patients himself; at the same time, from at least 1950, he had been diagnosing and experimenting on human subjects while working as a technical assistant in electroencephalographic laboratories that a friend had set up in the Hôpital Sainte-Anne as well as at the main hospital of the French prison system. Foucault became fascinated with Rohrschach tests in the late 1940s, performing them on as many fellow students at the ENS as he could ensnare, and he retained that fascination for a good twenty years, teaching rigorous classes on Rohrschach theory at least as late as 1967. Psychology originally presented itself to Foucault, then, in at least three guises at once: as a normalizing imposition, as a therapeutic opportunity, and as a self-authorizing practice.
The perennial, inane question as to whether Foucault was a philosopher or a historian could not in fact have arisen for the greater part of his career, for the simple reason that he was regarded as neither: "should his classification be psychology? or history of science?" asked an academic memo in 1960; two years later a dean's recommendation for tenure noted that "his specialty is psychopathology." If Foucault's formal appointments in the 1960s were in philosophy departments, that is partly because psychology, like sociology, had not yet achieved the status of an independent academic discpline in France and was routinely housed within philosophy programs.
How the tormented youth of 1948 evolved into the suave cultural emissary of 1955-60 (during which time he held quasi-diplomatic appointments at French cultural centers in Sweden, Poland, and West Germany), then into a government apparatchik in the mid-1960s, and ultimately into a consummate academic politician who in 1981 apparently declined Mitterand's offer of the post of cultural attaché in New York in the hope of being named, if not Ambassador to the US, then at least Director of the Bibliothèque Nationale -- that is one of the many mysteries in Foucault's life which Eribon does not attempt to penetrate and which he barely pauses to notice. In fact, Eribon tries to avoid dealing with messy personal matters: Foucault's serious depression in 1977, for example, elicits only perfunctory speculation as to whether "some people close to him ... had reservations" about the first volume of his History of Sexuality. While not squeamish about Foucault's gayness, Eribon isn't much interested in it either: he seems to consider it his duty to give us the basic facts; he records various of Foucault's dicta on the subject of homosexuality; and he mentions one instance in which Foucault's career suffered from anti-gay discrimination (Foucault was denied a post as assistant director of higher education in the Ministry of Education in the mid-1960s). Otherwise, he treats Foucault's homosexuality as if it were FDR's polio -- a handicap which our hero, in his quest for greatness, managed to overcome (until the end, that is, when it brought him into final, unmerited collision with HIV-disease). Eribon records a sum total of two affairs, with the composer Jean Barraqué in the mid-1950s and later with the philosopher Daniel Defert; the latter crops up, typically enough, at the point in Eribon's narrative when Foucault procured for Defert an assistantship in his department at the University of Clermont-Ferrand, thereby incurring the widespread disapproval of his colleagues. An inattentive reader might be pardoned for concluding from Eribon's exposition that after Foucault and Defert became lovers in late 1960 Foucault never had sex with anyone else ever again. And yet much of the impetus for Foucault's late work on pratiques de soi came from insights into the transformative potential of sex which he gained from his experiences in the bathhouses and S/M clubs of New York and San Francisco. For a thorough exploration of the connections between Foucault's changing awareness of himself as a sexual subject and his analysis of late antique ascesis, we must await Jim Miller's powerful account of Foucault's life and work, scheduled for publication by Simon & Schuster in early 1993.
Despite these lacunae, Eribon's biography tells us more than enough to explode the hostile caricatures of Foucault that have been put into circulation recently by assorted theory-bashers. For example, far from being an ivory-tower critic of Marxism who dismissed the realities of oppression and whose notion of power is so totalizing as to exclude the possibility of political resistance, the fifty-year-old Foucault did not hesitate to do physical battle with the police, fighting at sufficiently close quarters to sustain a variety of serious injuries -- including, on one occasion, cracked ribs: "it is the cop's job to use physical force," he explained in 1975; "anyone who opposes cops must not, therefore, let them maintain the hypocrisy of disguising this force behind orders that have to be immediately obeyed." Moreover, Foucault's political activism was hardly restricted to such high-profile endeavors as founding Libération or holding an audacious press conference in Franco's Madrid to denounce the fascist government's planned execution of eleven young militants (Foucault and his fellow VIPs were quickly arrested and deported, the militants later executed). Eribon documents how tirelessly Foucault took part in the real dirty work of political organizing -- going to meetings, writing manifestoes, and even driving three thousand kilometers to Warsaw in the fall of 1982, less than two years before his death, with a van full of medical supplies and printing materials for the beleaguered members of Solidarnosc.
And there are other surprises. Despite Foucault's failure to inquire very deeply into female sexual subjectivation in his History of Sexuality, he was not the anti-feminist monster that his gay-baiting detractors often claim him to have been; on the contrary, he was consistent in supporting the establishment of political organizations by marginal groups, including women, and he intended Libération to give voice to the various emerging tendencies within the women's movement. Despite his critique of truth as a regulatory concept in the human sciences, he did not feel at all inhibited about appealing to truth when attempting to expose the realities of torture, police brutality, and governmental injustice. And despite the frequently heard complaint that Foucault's critique of the ideology of authorship harmonized all too cozily in his case with consistent selfpromotion as an author, Eribon shows that Foucault was in fact willing to play fast and loose with the author function, penning innumerable unsigned tracts, essays, manifestoes, and even writing the memoirs of a young hitchhiker whom he had picked up and whose colorful life story he published under the hitchhiker's own name.
The discontinuities in Foucault's thought, his constant shifts of position, the essentially improvisatory character of much of his work -- all of which is well documented by Eribon -- serve as a salutary reminder not only that, as Foucault himself often insisted, he was not a systematic thinker, but also that it is both hazardous and superfluous to treat Foucault's oeuvre as a single body of thought, the unitary "work" of a unitary "author." If we learn anything from Foucault, it is not to canonize him as the exponent of some authoritative doctrine but rather to see in him an inspiring example of someone whose acute and constantly revised understanding of his own social location enabled him to devise some effective but unsystematic modes of resistance to the shifting discursive and political conditions which circumscribed his own practice. That ability to reflect critically on and to respond politically to the circumstances that both enabled and constrained his own activity may account for why Foucault's life, as much as or perhaps even more than his work, continues to serve as a compelling model for an entire generation of scholars, critics, and activists.

Hans van der Loo - GRS&RIOpen this scenario
A well-educated population is the greatest asset a nation can have
What do you see as the main challenge for the EU and/or the Netherlands specific with regards to Energy Consciousness?
It is important that people learn to understand the consequences of their
energy use: 'a well-educated population is the greatest asset a nation can
have'. We should create a more robust CO2 price to make it more attractive
to save energy. It is also important to understand the different roles of
science, government and business.
Science is responsible for establishing the situation we are in, what the planetary limits are of the holoceum (the set of conditions that make life as we know it possible), and for helping to understand how quickly we are depleting our CO2 budget to stay within 2 degrees celsius climate change (at current rate we will have spent the budget by 2034).
Governments determine WHAT needs to be done, have to set the framework conditions for action and have to establish the enabling conditions for an energy transition. This comprises both infrastructures e.g. to cope with strongly varying decentralised input of renewables. But they also need to ensure that enough innovative talent is available to come up with solutions for the challenges of sustainable future & competitive Europe).
Industry should determine HOW the targets are most effectively and efficiently achieved. Increasingly these three need to work together. Jet-Net is a best practice of how these partners can successfully team up. This should not just be stimulated in the Netherlands, but in Europe as a whole. We should use our most precious resources on our most pressing challenges!
What is the most important issue with regards to System Integration for the EU and/or the Netherlands and what should be done about it?
To realize its goals, the EU should work as a union not only on paper, but practically as well. The enabling conditions for innovation should be stimulated, but also the capacity for innovation through education and research. With regards to the physical system, the biggest issue results from the changing of the merit order to a renewables-based system. This results in decentralized and more volatile generation of energy and a major increase in energy flow over our networks. We have to think and operate on a European level rather than focusing on national targets. A bigger playing field gives us more degrees of freedom and more scope for optimization. With regards to policy, I think that governments should play a modest role. They should only indicate on which high level targets to focus, not on which technologies to use. Otherwise we might get stuck with a technology when better ones are becoming available and thus miss the goal or the cost efficiency in reaching it.
If you could spend 100 billion euro in the EU next year on the followings subjects, how would you spend them?
Investing in energy saving has top priority, because it is a no-regret investment. A sustainable future will not be possible without addressing the demand side – as well as the supply side. After that, we should invest in more efficient energy markets (e.g. infrastructure). We should not forget the importance of investing in education and communication to increase our innovation capacity and societal acceptance of innovations. A successful energy future depends on local and political support and our own "cope-ability" to deal with the required change that is needed in the exponential era we have entered, but so few understand. As indeed Albert Bartlett was right to say: "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is its inability to understand the exponential function". We are training our youngsters for jobs that do not yet exist, to deal with problems we are not even aware of. Hence the importance of education can not be underestimated.
What role can the Energy Transition Model play with regards to Energy Consciousness and System Integration?
The model shows the cause and effects relations. Not every measure has the same effect. The merit order is an important aspect to teach, especially to experts in politics and media. Thus it contributes to much needed systemic understanding of an important sphere of society. Media have a role to play as well. They should be able to explain in clear language which no-regret options we have, to raise acceptance and support for implementing innovations we hopefully achieve by investing in communication and education.
Hopefully it will result in more innovations and – as important – a greater societal acceptance for the implementation of these innovations. Too often good ideas strand because of NYMBY/NUMBY amongst the general public or NIMTO (Not In My Term of Office) amongst politicians As Winston Churchil said: A well-educated population is the greatest asset a nation can have. That goes for politicians as well. Beware of those that want to cut on education!

Pon side table

- Ø: 45 cm
- Soaped oak
- Smoked oak
- Black lacquered
Special Order. All furniture is custom made to order, and cannot be exchanged, returned or cancelled. Please allow approximately 12–14 weeks for delivery.
Pon side table by Jasper Morrison for Fredericia.
Pon is a series of solid wood side tables in different sizes that are both very stable, versatile and which can be used as either stand-alone furniture or combined in different heights.
The smaller Pon tables are modest in size, but large enough for a book, a glass or a tray.
Our living spaces increasingly have to accommodate a wide range of activities – from relaxing with a book or newspaper and working on your laptop or watching films on a tablet to social gatherings of all kinds where food and drinks are served.
The Pon series of side tables was designed in 2015 by Jasper Morrison, who describes Pon as an alternative to the "overrated and badly named 'coffee table'". Instead of taking up space, the Pon tables' modest size means they can be used in front of a sofa as well as beside a low chair.
Pon is made of solid oak or ash. The strong focus on the material is enhanced by the fact that Pon lacks the usual distinction between table top and underframe. Instead, the table top, column and foot form an integrated whole. The Pon tables stand as distinct yet unpresuming sculptures in any room, in addition to which the solid wood will patinate beautifully over time.
The solidity of the Pon tables makes them perfect for spaces where a strong and stable table is required, for example hotel lobbies, art galleries and public lounge areas. Pon is extremely hard-wearing, yet strikingly elegant.

HONOLULU (AP) -- Hawaii ranks first in a state-by-state analysis of health.
United Health Foundation released its 2013 America's Health Rankings Wednesday, saying Hawaii is the healthiest state.
The rankings highlight Hawaii's strengths, including the state's smoking and obesity rates. The report notes nearly 15 percent of people in Hawaii smoke, compared with nearly 20 percent nationally. Nearly 24 percent of adults in Hawaii are obese, compared with nearly 28 percent nationally.
But Hawaii faces unhealthy challenges including a high rate of binge drinking and a low high school graduation rate.
According to the report, one in 13 people in Hawaii have diabetes, compared with one in 10 nationally.
The foundation says Hawaii's ranking over the years has varied from first to sixth.
This year, Mississippi is ranked as the least healthy state.
