The reason that Maurice Sendak is sadly not able to be here today is because on Wednesday it is the opening night of his new opera, Brundibar, in Chicago, a project on which he has been working for the past five years. I call Brundibar 'his new opera' because he has designed the sets and the costumes, co-operated with the author, Tony Kushner, on the libretto and is now preparing a picture book based upon it. Maurice Sendak has asked me to represent him here in Stockholm - an honour that I find somewhat daunting.I first met Maurice in New York as long ago as 1961. I was 29 years old and the newly-appointed Children's Book Editor of The Bodley Head publishing company in London. It was my first visit to the US and I found New York City frightening and totally overwhelming. I was there to meet American publishers and children's book editors and to see what books we might exchange between us.—It was in the 1950s that I had first become conscious of Maurice Sendak's illustrations – for Meindert De Jong's The Wheel on the School and for the first of the Minarik Little Bear books but, above all, I had seen his drawings forThe House of Sixty Fathers . I thought them quite the most beautiful pictures I had seen for a long time. Maurice Sendak was an artist I wanted to meet – and most of all someone I wanted to persuade to draw for The Bodley Head.Maurice then lived in downtown New York, on West 9th Street I think it was, in a small basement flat, with a cat and a scruffy looking white dog called Jennie. He welcomed me warmly and we had a long discussion about children's books in general, and I soon realised that as he already had so many commitments for illustration there was little chance of getting him to draw for me. I had also had to confess to him that cats made me sneeze, at which he had kindly put his cat outside. I regret to report that it was never seen again! Now that was an early test of friendship, if there ever was one.We kept in touch over the next few years, meeting each year on my annual visit to New York. I tried to tempt him with various projects – such as illustrating Huckleberry Finn or or reillustrating Eleanor Estes, but it was not until 1967 that the name of Maurice Sendak at last appeared on The Bodley Head list. In 1963 we had tried to publish The Nutshell Library but we were defeated by the fact that we could find no one in the UK at that time who could make the boxes for the tiny books. In 1965 we had wanted to publish Where the Wild Things Are but onceagain we were defeated – by the cost of an oversize, 48 page picture book in full colour at a time of economic depression. There was also the considerable problem of persuading the teachers, librarians, parents, and not least my colleages at The Bodley Head at the time that Where the Wild Things Are was not going to turn all the children in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, in fact in all the countries in which The Bodley Head exclusively sold their books, into raving lunatics!We started trying to solve the problem of cost again in 1965 and it took a year before we found a solution. Publication was finally achieved only by arranging a mammoth international printing - in Holland of editions for the UK, Denmark, France a2nd, I am delighted to say, for Sweden. (Incidentally, the whole project turned out to be a financial disaster, for we had made the mistake of quoting all our costs in sterling and before the bills had been paid the pound was devalued!)Publication of Where the Wild Things Are was fixed for 7 April 1967 – and Maurice Sendak came over for The Great Day, having just put the finishing touches to a new book called Higglety, Pigglety, Pop! which starred his beloved dog Jennie. We were soon deeply involved in television appearances, press conferences, Wild Things competitions, you name it and a few days later Maurice and I went up to Newcastle to appear on a live television programme. At two o'clock that night 38 year-old Maurice Sendak staggered to the door of my hotel room and collapsed.At first the hotel authorities were reluctant even to call a doctor (many hotels are not keen on disturbance in the middle of the night) but eventually a doctor came – and, after much deliberation, diagnosed a bad case of indigestion. I will not go into every detail of what happened next but suffice it to say that eventually I ignored everyone else's advice and called an ambulance. Maurice had had a coronary thrombosis, a serious heart attack. There followed about ten days of what I can only call fun. While Maurice slowly gained enough strength – and confidence – to be moved down to London, I discovered his love of practical jokes and brought to his hospital room a false moustache attached to a pair of spectacles and a whole collection of ridiculous tricks. I also found in a nearby shop a small toy, a furry mouse which he immediately christened Beatrix, for we had also discovered our mutual devotion to Beatrix Potter. Thus are friendships sealed.When, after many weeks, it was time for Maurice to return to New York he left with the promise that, as a token of gratitude for the care he had been given, he would provide the drawings for the 1967 Bodley Head Christmas Booklet. These elegant, slim, paper-covered booklets, printed in an edition limited to 100 copies or thereabouts were sent as a greeting to friends of the company each year. For his booklet Maurice had chosen to illustrate a selection from William Blake's Songs of Innocence - and a beautiful publication it turned out to be. When it had been blished, Maurice gave me as a personal gift all his tracings and original drawings.We continued to work together as author and editor for the next fourteen years, The Bodley Head publishing the UK editions of many Maurice Sendak books and organising an exhibition of his original pictures at the Ashmolean Mueum in Oxford in 1975. Maurice and I have remained friends ever since. In 1986 he asked me to accept the certificate on his behalf on his election as an Honorary Royal Designer for Industry at the Royal Society of Arts in London. I last saw him when we spent the day together at his house in the Connecticut countryside in April. I spoke to him on the telephone last week. And here I am representing him in Stockholm, to receive on his behalf the very great honour that has been bestowed on him, his share of the first Astrid Lindgren Prize. I am proud to be his representative.

Foil Nasty Woman
Foil Nasty Woman
Hand stitched 3.5"x5" pocket notebook with corner rounded edges. Holographic foil stamping on black paper for the cover, with white pages inside.
50% of profits from this will be going directly to my friend Frankie Lomen. I met Frankie back in college, where we never spoke a word... but I always thought she was so cool. After we both graduated I found out she was raising money to go back to school in Phoenix to learn motorcycle repair. I was so inspired by her for traveling across the country (she was living in Maine with her husband and pets) to go learn such a male dominant trade! I put some of my prints up to help support her fund. In a horrible twist of events, a few months ago Frankie found out that she has a brain tumor, and has been going through surgeries and chemo even since. I have been following her journey from a far on social media, and it is such a roller coaster of emotions. Through it all Frankie still posts encouraging messages and updates, her persistence inspires me daily, and so I am giving back what I can! Buy some prints to help support Frankie! Her medical bills, rent, travel costs, increased insurance and general life monthly bills don't just stop coming because you get sick!

10 Mistakes You're Making on Skout/
Have you ever wondered why you're not meeting people on Skout? You've tried to strike up Chats, and you've posted Buzz, but you're not getting responses. Here are 10 things you might be doing wrong.
- Not looking at profiles. Skouters are looking for a variety of things – not just dates. Many people are in relationships but are looking for activity partners or even just online friends with whom to exchange dining or music recommendations. Before chatting up people to whom you're attracted on Skout, tap on profiles first to be sure they're looking for the same thing.
- Being sexist. If you start off your Buzz with "all women" or "all men," rethink your post, because you're probably about to post a sexist statement, which will likely turn off your intended audience.
- Not including photos of your face. Your photos don't need to be glamour shots, but if your profile is friendly, you'll be seen as more approachable. If you include only Headless Torso photos, people will wonder what you have to hide.
- Posting negative Buzz. Buzz is a place to ask questions, talk about yourself and post photos. Skouters often engage in debates as well as constructive conversations. They offer advice to each other. And then there are people who complain, complain, complain. It shows when you click on a person's profile: endless negativity. Who wants to chat with someone who brings them down?
- Sending cut-and-paste chats. You know what you're looking for, and that's grand. But sending a Skouter three unsolicited paragraphs about the type of relationship you seek can be overwhelming. Plus, it's obvious you've sent the same diatribe to other users, which leads us to …
- Seeming desperate. Telling everyone that you seek a soulmate is an obvious ploy and will not make all the Skouters you chat up feel special. Be open to casual conversations, even if they don't lead to romance.
- Using profanity. You may have a pottymouth in real life and not get flak for it, but it can come across as more aggressive online. Type out your Buzz, and before you tap Share, take a moment to reread what you wrote – can you take out the vulgarity and still make your point? Probably.
- Not sending specific wink-bombs. There is more than one way to wink-bomb. Before you send one, tap Select Your Greeting to choose an icebreaker, such as "Read any good books lately?" It's a great conversation starter, and you never know – you may bond with someone who has similar tastes and make an online friend or even one in real life.
- Calling strangers honey, dear, baby, etc. It may work on some people, but not everyone appreciates such an immediate level of intimacy. Look at a person's profile name and Skout ID – they chose those identifications for a reason, so use them before creating nicknames.
- Sending nudity. Skout employs an around-the-clock team to monitor dialogue and photos, and if you send nude photos or post overtly sexual language, not only are you offending users but you will get banned from Skout.

We have covered recently how the Nokia Lumia 920 coming to India will not support their local variant of LTE, TD-LTE, making the device de facto a 3G phone.
Now according to Nokia support it seems the issue will not be a permanent black mark on the handset in the Indian subcontinent, with support claiming the device will be updated to 4G compliance via a Firmware Over The Air update.
Now we would definitely not recommend buying the smartphone on the promise of an update, even if Nokia confirms it, but if true it would still be a welcome bonus for buyers in the rather small area covered by LTE in India.
Thanks Himadri for the tip.

Miramar, FL
"Excellent Stay"From the moment we booked the cabin the property management company was very professional and helpful. They called during our stay to assure everything was to our satisfaction. This was our 4th trip …to the area and our 2nd to Elk Springs, by far these cabins are superior to any other ones we have experienced. The only suggestion I would give is to update the televisions. They are a little outdated and take away from the overall look of the cabin. We chose to stay in on Sunday to relax and watch football but we were disappointed by the TVs in the cabin. Overall excellent experience.+ Read More

"6 nights at Serenity Lodge"Having rented cabins in the Smokies in the past, we found this property to be comparable with the others. Our view was of the resort property and not so much of the mountains but it was quite beautifu…l as it had been snowing. The cabin was reasonably clean. The management company was easy to deal with and quick to respond when needed. Thank you Elk Springs for making our time there a wonderful experience.+ Read More

"Great Cabin! Great trip!"We started out staying at a cabin for rent by owner that we found online that was not a part of Elk Springs. Big mistake! We had stayed at Elk Springs two previous times and loved it. Don't know wh…y I even attempted the other route. We had to leave the rental by owner and call Elk Springs last minute. They found us a cabin and thank goodness! The Elk Springs cabin was amazing! I do not have words to describe- but it was so so clean and super nice! We will never attempt to again to stay anywhere else but Elk Springs! They are the best!+ Read More

The Battle of Passchendaele
The Battle of Passchendaele
The Great War – 'the war to end all wars', ended nothing. Families severed apart, communities broken, a generation lost; the sacrifice of these eleven million in an attempt to preserve peace in Europe was ultimately in vain. A political play, the national powers twisted in a chain of alliances and treaties reaching a boiling point, with explosive consequence. Within this confusion, was New Zealand, fighting for its mother nation – Great Britain – all the while creating its own identity.

Located in Western Belgium, Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was a defining battle in the push back East. Beginning in the 31st of July, 1917, the objective of the battle being to capture the strategic ridgelines around the Belgian city of Ypres. One key unit that was involved throughout the battles was the 2nd ANZAC Corps. Composed of the New Zealand, the Australian 3rd, and the British 25th Divisions at the time of the Battle of Passchendaele, it played an instrumental role in these skirmishes.
Before the assault on Passchendaele, was the Battle of Messines Ridge. The ridge provided easy overwatch for German forces on the town of Ypres, allowing for observed artillery fire that would be deadly accurate. British forces through the past few years had been filling mines under Messines with 454 tons of explosives, and to officially start the campaign for Passchendaele, blew them on this day – 'It was a white incandescent light – we knew that the temperature was about 3000 degrees centigrade. The Germans there went up as gas.' – Lieutenant Bryan Frayling of the Royal Engineers. ANZAC troops took the ridge within seven days. Ground that the German 4th Army had held since the First Battle of Ypres.
Beginning on the 4th of October, ANZAC forces were instrumental in the first assault on the defences around the village of Passchendaele. The objective for the New Zealand Division was Gravenstafel, made important by the push of their Australian comrades, who were attacking Broodseinde Ridge, to the south of Gravenstafel at the same time. NZ forces were to cover the Australian assault; Broodseinde being a buildup to the main offensive on Passchendaele. Beginning at 06:00, artillery bombardment, combined with a recent change in German tactics – packing frontline trenches rather than spreading the troops – made the October 4th attack extremely effective. NZ troops quickly advanced 1000 metres to secure Gravenstafel, and captured 1000 prisoners. The attack came at some cost, however, with the New Zealand Division suffering 1600 casualties, of which 500 were killed.
The Battle of Bellevue Spur was the deadliest in New Zealand military history since 1840. A five-stage plan, the objective was ambitious; the 4th Australian Division given the objective of Passchendaele, and the New Zealand Division again given the role of flank support. Zero hour was at 05:25 on the 12th of October, with a planned creeping barrage leading the infantry push. However, the barrage was greatly disorganised, with several shells even landing on NZ forces. The 3rd Brigade, pushing on the left, became marred in machine-gun fire, while the 2nd Brigade, on its right flank, was blockaded by barbed wire. Both Brigades lost their momentum, resorting to creating defences against German counter-attack. The push was a failure; troops eventually fell back to positions near their starting line. Only on the 18th of October were NZ troops relieved, the Canadian Corps taking their place. New Zealand suffered 3700 casualties on the 12th of October, with 950 men dead.

Hate is a lot like love. You can't force it. You can't fight it.
You just have to embrace it when it comes along.
-Emily Thorne
Well I can't be friends with someone if they're friends with my enemy. Growing up, my mom told me to be thankful for my siblings, that i'm lucky to have been born into such a big family. But I want to know the truth. It's strategic to make me put my family first. And thanks to what I was taught, that's all I have in this world. Literally. I have no other choice than my family. I don't have 504 friends at my disposal – no amount of facebook friends I could have would ever come near to as much. I'm not in an elite clique of socialites that are known by an acronym name. I was made to believe that there are people that I can't exist without. But it was made very clear to me that everyone else can exist without me. Everyone would get along fine without me, and I was constantly reminded of that. There was nothing that I brought to the table that someone else couldn't. No one else would ever care about me as much as my family does. Because no one else would give me the time of day. This is as good as it would ever get for me. And if I don't like it, there wouldn't be any point looking for anything else cause there would be nothing better. No one else would feel i'm worth anything. Except maybe a menial task. Or two. People can easily replace me. Because they made sure I can't replace them. That I had no other choice.
Well, today Adila is at a festival with her anime society. Aniza is doing her art assignment with her friends. Ashraf is going to a house party tonight. And that just leaves me. Of course, as usual, I don't have any plans for my saturday night. No invitations, nothing. Thinking back to all the things my mom said to me since I was little about always having someone there for you in a big family, and being able to rely on your brothers and sisters; all I can say is, so this is what it's like. I suppose it feels nice. Sitting by myself in this room. There have been people who have hurt me and humiliated me. They got away with it. They were rewarded for it. They're much happier for it. Everyone wants them, not me. And tonight, everyone is going to spend their saturday night with people who care about them. They're going to have fun with their friends. And they'll have those fond memories forever. While I wait here.

It's been some time since I've proclaimed the need for new specs. Well finally, this Sunday I stopped in to one of my favorites: Old Focals (at their semi-new location on Colorado Blvd in Eagle Rock). I tried on aviators, 70s oversize, round, horn-rimmed, clear plastic, and so many more of their deadstock inventory.
I decided on these two (more classic, less quirky) to go with my more grown up ways.
A simple black pair and a more delicate brown pair with an interesting multi-point shape.
A close up of the black pair.
I really loved the assortment of the eyeglass cases - leather, pleather and fabric.
Did I mention the girl crush that Mr. W and I formed on the shop girl? Seriously stunning! She is French no less AND plays guitar in a few bands (The Antarticans and OGOD and another which I can't remember). She had perfectly swooped cat-eye liner and a nice way of talking - though she says her French accent is fading. Very sweet. XOXO

OSLO, NORWAY – 30 AUGUST 2017, – Identity and security company Nexus Group and biometric technology company Zwipe have signed a distribution agreement and launched the sale of Zwipe's biometric access cards via the online portal Nexus GO Cards as a Service.
Compromised security and illegitimate access to buildings and systems is a constantly increasing concern with government and private organisations alike. With Zwipe's biometric access card, the user completes the identity verification process by simply placing their finger on the fingerprint sensor on the access card before presenting it to the card reader. Only the rightful owner of the card can use it, hence a lost or stolen card, or employees exchanging cards is no longer a security threat.
"Nexus is an established and rapidly growing company with an impressive customer base and a great partner network. Nexus' online ordering portal enables end users and Systems Integrators to acquire ready programmed and personalized Zwipe Access cards rapidly and efficient. Our new partnership is making the Zwipe Access supply process just as straight-forward as its technology," says Boije.
"Zwipe has developed a truly unique solution that suits companies and organizations that have a need for increasing their security – without making any costly and complicated changes to their existing access control system or security infrastructure," says Land.
"Zwipe's fingerprint cards make biometrics easy and cost-efficient. Since we are all about innovative technology, Zwipe Access fits perfectly in our product portfolio," says Land.
About Nexus Group
Swedish-owned Nexus Group is an innovative and rapidly growing product company, developing identity and security solutions.

Jill R. Hummel, President of Anthem Blue Cross y Blue Shield: "My inspiration is to help our members."
Escrito el 20 Mar 2017
-Jill, tell us about your experience participating as the Chair of the American Heart Association GO RED initiative.
-The event is the culmination of efforts that were made throughout the year, in which the main objective has been to educate the public on how to improve the survival rate of people prone to heart disease. This can be achieved by making people aware of three things so simple that one can do and thus eliminate up to an 80 percent risk of having heart attacks.
-What are those three simple things?
-By eating healthy, exercising and not smoking. A very clear example is, if one does 60 percent of high intensity exercise, such as "jumping jacks", you get the same benefits you would achieve by doing 3 days a week on the treadmill.
-Tell us about an initiative or recruitment effort that you've seen while chairing this event?
-I was reading an article in the New York Times about the disparities in health between white and non-white people, particularly when it comes to acute disease services such as heart health. One of the main reasons is that non-white people have a much higher risk because they lack exercise, have high blood pressure, and so on. Then I came to the crucial question of what could Anthem do to reach these communities and find a way to reach them?
-So how American Heart Association does takes part on this initiative?
-Coincidentally they were developing the program Empowered to Serve, (ETS) in other markets, just not yet in Connecticut.
-Tell us more about ETS?
-It is a purely community effort that is carried out in 12 lessons given in the form of series. It focuses mainly on 6 communities where health disparities exist in these areas, which lack services and where there are also health providers who can work with an ambassador in the community, since efforts must be consistent, i.e. in places where communities come together on a regular basis because everything is purely evidence-based. ETS health classes help a community committed to being motivated and taking steps to adopt a healthy, life-oriented philosophy of life. First of all, health check-ups are an important part of the program and a community that adopts the program must at least participate in 4 health lessons. Screenings can be chosen according to the community to which they are being taught. For example, a community can adopt within its 4 main lessons, a lesson focused on the current needs of its community. That is, if you are more prone to high blood pressure or you are with factors such as too much stress. Reviews are done at the beginning and end of the lessons in order to show results and also to know in which ways the program can be improved.
-Which are the current towns served?
-The following communities were identified as underserved areas and also with the largest health disparities in the country: Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Norwalk and Manchester
-How can this program be implemented in a specific community?
-It has to be in communities where people are willing to promote the event. We also have to identify an "ambassador", someone who is willing to take the leadership role and who can empower the community
-Finally, to conclude our interview can you share with us who inspires you every day?
-The truth is, I'm inspired by all our members, as we're fortunate to have more than a million of them in Connecticut and if I can make a difference in the lives of at least a fraction of that total, this inspires me even more!

Commentary: A fresh, fractious era for N.C. Democrats
For most of North Carolina's history, there was no chance that a man named Barack or a woman named Beverly would finish atop the heap on election day.
But in casting their ballots for Sen. Barack Obama for president and Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue for governor, Tar Heel Democrats wrote a new chapter in the state's history that had been clouded by the era of Jim Crow and a deep skepticism about women's role in politics.
The victory of a black presidential candidate won the headlines. But the most sweeping change may have been the victories of women up and down the ballot -- with, of course, one notable exception: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not only did Perdue win the Democratic nomination for governor, but state Sen. Kay Hagan won her party's nod as the U.S Senate nominee who will face Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole in November.

"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
― Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L'Engle's best-known book, the Newbery-winning science fiction novel, A Wrinkle in Time, was rejected by at least 26 publishers before its 1962 publication for being, in her words, too hard, too different, and too groundbreaking. It was ultimately published as a children's book.

|Sundance '11 Blog Web Exclusives Director Interviews Festival Coverage Our Videos
Wide or deep -- Shlain's formulation is an interesting way to consider documentaries. While watching a variety of docs at Sundance, I noticed that most did try to do one or the other. Danfung Dennis' To Hell and Back, for example, goes deep into the life and mind of a soldier wounded in Afghanistan, showing us with the best Canon 5D cinematography I've ever seen the scarring memories that will shape his political worldview forever. In telling "a story of the Earth Liberation Front," Marshall Curry's If a Tree Falls goes deep into radical environmental activism but also a bit wide as it turns into a critique of our judicial system's expanding definition of the word "terrorism." Yoav Potash's Crime after Crime is another deep movie -- it tells the story of Deborah Peagler, the victim of overprosecution for the murder of her abusive husband, expanding her tale to look at states that don't allow for the consideration of spousal abuse in sentencing and parole. Perhaps the "deepest" doc I saw is not a social-issue one but a tale of wayward fandom, Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure. In Matthew Bate's film, two San Francisco apartment dweller's audio taping of a pair of bickering male neighbors launches a decades-long obsession that gathers fans from around the world. Out of material that would cause most of us to stick cotton in our ears, Bate traces a 1990s viral phenomenon that has just as many unexpected plot twists and character drama as the later one depicted in The Social Network.
More on the deep and the wide as we wrap up Sundance this weekend and early next week.

"RESURRECT DEAD: THE MYSTERY OF THE TOYNBEE TILES" DIRECTOR JON FOY By Mary Anderson Casavant
There are few professions in the world that demand more from their practitioners than documentary filmmaking -- most filmmakers spend years (if not lives) toiling away in obscurity, with little keeping them going beside the faith that theirs is a story worth sacrificing everything for. Sundance newbie, Jon Foy, is certainly a man of faith -- his feature debut, Resurrect Dead, was entirely self-funded by a series of odd jobs. When he got the call that the film he'd been working on for five years was going to be at Sundance, he was working as a house cleaner. more
"BENAVIDES BORN," CO-WRITER-DIRECTOR AMY WENDELL "Surprises," wow. There were many in developing the story. Discovering this unique sport of women's powerlifting and how big it is in South Texas was a wonderful surprise for us. We also had no idea that Texas had a mandatory and competitive "One Act" theater arts program. That program gave us an opportunity to survey a broad range of teenager talent, but more importantly, it is turning out graduates who are truly interested in storytelling and were eager to get involved in either script workshops or actual production. more
"THE REDEMPTION OF GENERAL BUTT NAKED," DIRECTORS ERIC STRAUSS & DANIELE ANASTASION Neither of us was prepared for how much we would genuinely like Joshua Milton Blahyi. The fact that a human being can be warm, funny and endearing, yet also responsible for the deaths of thousands, is something that's very difficult to reconcile. more
"BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER'S JOURNEY," DIRECTOR CONSTANCE MARKS The most surprising thing I found while making BEING ELMO: A Puppeteer's Journey was how insanely popular this furry red monster has become. For the past year I've carried a bright red Elmo messenger bag. I would get spontaneous feedback every day from almost everyone: old men, teenage girls, postal workers and especially mothers. Hundreds of times I heard, "Elmo was my child's first word" or "What IS it about Elmo that makes my kid so transfixed?" more
LEGENDARY DP VILMOS ZSIGMOND AT SLAMDANCE '11 By Jamie Stuart

Many movie moments could symbolize Wes Welker's decision to sign his $9.5 million franchise tender Tuesday and return to the Patriots for the 2012-13 season. Perhaps the Hulk destroying enemy ships in The Avengers. Or Dean Portman showing up at halftime of the JV-Varsity game at the end of Mighty Ducks 3. Really, any clip of someone returning from somewhere and then going on a rampage would do.
But none could do it better than Randy Quaid in Independence Day:
Just pretend the spaceship is an opposing defense and the metaphor works perfectly. Kinda like Welker and Tom Brady.
Welker Played His Best, Made Everyone Better in 2011
Despite whatever grief Patriots fans gave Welker following his drop towards the end of Super Bowl XLVI, Welker still had a career year last season. He set career-highs in nearly every possible receiving category: 1,569 receiving yards, 12.9 yards per reception, nine touchdowns, and 77 first downs. He caught an NFL-best 122 passes (22 ahead of second-place Roddy White of Atlanta), coming within one of his career-best.
As great as Welker's Pro Bowl-qualifying individual accomplishments were, he also greatly improved the rest of the Patriots' receivers. Rob Gronkowski posted the best season by a tight end in NFL history because secondaries couldn't focus on him and leave Welker open in the slot. Such decisions too often proved disastrous (just ask the Dolphins in Game 1), and teams willingly risked a second-year player dominating for even the possibility of containing an eight-year vet like Welker.
Seemingly completely recovered from his knee injury two years ago, Welker's agility and vision made him a lethal receiver across the middle: too speedy for linebackers, too crafty for most cornerbacks. And as Welker wreaked havoc in the middle of the field, receivers like Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch benefited from the chaos.
Welker Setting Up for Bigger Payday
Kudos to Welker for not dragging his contract situation through the mud. He wanted a better deal, the Patriots didn't want to give it to him, and they franchised him. Welker knew what they would do and, rather than piss and moan, just accepted it. An emphatic statement of support, an enthusiastic tweet, and the issue is over and done with.
But no one should misconstrue Welker's tolerance for altruism. If Welker has another career year like 2011, he can show every team out there (Patriots or not) that he's playing the best football of his life. Higher signing bonuses, more "guaranteed" (a phony word in NFL bargaining) cash, more years – a 2012 that matches or exceeds 2011 makes everything possible.
On top of his numbers, Welker's approach shows professionalism and responsibility. Both of those qualities translate to profitability, because teams are way more likely to work with a player if they think he'll keep the process to himself. Randy Moss' options have dwindled considerably over the last few seasons as more and more teams realize just how much of a prima donna he is. Despite Hall-of-Fame numbers, few teams want to go after a player who'll air every petty grievance to the press.
And when it comes to the fans, every contract issue seems petty. When you're making $30,000 a year, you don't care if a guy gets $8 million over one year or $13 million over two. Fighting over so much money can only alienate fans towards both the player and the franchise.
Welker has shown none of the egotism athletes typically develop when they become on-the-field superstars. His humility is a bankable attribute, same as his speed.
The Patriots didn't give Welker a longer deal because they're still unsure his knee has fully healed (and because they're the Patriots). Had Welker signed for longer elsewhere and struggled, the team might have cut him or asked him to renegotiate. Then he'd be exactly where he is now, except he'd be older and coming off a worse year.
But a second fantastic year and a rational approach to bargaining make Welker the ideal free-agent package, no matter who goes after him. How Welker handled the franchise tag sets him up for the big-money, long-term deal he's wanted all along. And it gives Patriots fans one more year to enjoy one of the greatest receivers in franchise history.
That, as they say, is a win-win.

Forward planning
The Government's National Planning Policy Framework is clear about the role that sport plays in delivering sustainable communities
We are currently consulting on updated planning for sport guidance which will replace our current guides along with our current and aims and objectives webpage.
Working with the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and through promoting health and wellbeing, we wish to see local planning policy protect, enhance and provide for sports facilities based on robust and up-to-date assessments of need, as well as helping to realise the wider benefits that taking part in sport can bring.
Delivering sound policies
Sound policy can only be developed by objectively assessing needs, which in turn is used to inform the development of a strategy for sport and recreation. Policies which protect, enhance and provide for sports facilities should reflect this work, and be the basis for consistent application through development management.
We are not prescriptive on the precise form and wording of policies, but advise that a stronger plan will result from taking a clearly justified and positive approach to planning for sport.
A stronger plan will result from taking a clearly justified and positive approach to planning for sport
In this way, planning authorities will be able to demonstrate that their plan has been:
- Positively prepared – based on objectively assessed needs
- Is consistent with national policy – reflecting the NPPF
- Is justified – having considered alternatives
- Is effective – being deliverable.
Without such attention, there is a risk that a local plan or other policy document could be considered unsound.
We are currently working on an update of this guide which will be available later in 2018:

The Pastmaster has ruined Christmas or has he? (Oneshot – Complete)
Just a quick short story about parenthood and the consequences with our favorite couple. (Oneshot – Complete)
Feral believes he's finally caught T-Bone, that mangy SWAT Kat, but he has some crazy flight veteran instead named Mike McKatson. (Based off the author's RPG character.)
Told from Jake's point of view. A 'normal' day, which happens to be his birthday. Surprisingly, the SWAT Kats aren't needed for some crisis or another. Rated T for content.
There's an old saying: a day late and a dollar short. So, what do you do when you're a day late and about a million words short?
Amanda and Viper plot to use a mind control drug against the SWAT Kats, but they get a surprise when someone targets them as well.
It's the start of the Fall Season in MegaKat City! But, is it a good time to celebrate? Are some things best left unsaid as it regards to Feral? Lokii gets to work using the Arcana Spell Books. Also, Kandi thinks she's figured out a way to keep Callie out of her fur.
Em Clots has come back to Earth from a large space station that rotates around Saturn. Her father leaves her with Jake and Chance. While she stays with them, T-Bone and Razor meet a mysterious girl that helps them then leaves when no one is looking. Jake and Chance are starting to wonder who Em is and if she's related to their new friend.
The SWAT Kats are called in to protect Callie, but some buried emotions almost make it fatal…
Someone wants the Deputy Mayor dead, but a certain red-furred dawg isn't going to let that happen.

May is The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes awareness month. EDS Canada organized an event for a group of those with EDS and their loved ones to come Queen's park to acknowledge the success of the announcement of a new clinic for those with EDS. However, we were also there to stress that there is still so much work to be done in advocacy for those with rare illnesses and disabilities. To bring this message to the Ontario Government the EDS Canada organization crafted another proclamation that was read out in the legislature.
We thank Gila Martow for her support and advocacy.
Here is the video:
EDS Canada has arranged for Niagara Falls in Ontario and Science World in beautiful British Columbia to be illuminated on May 4th, 2016 in honour of all persons living with The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes in Canada and throughout the globe. These events further awareness and allow us to celebrate the progress which has been made across the EDS world over the past year.
A successful afternoon meeting at the Krembil Research Institute (TWH) between executives, scientists, clinicians and MPP Gila Martow. We discussed connective tissue research relating to EDS and the need for further development and logistics for future research treatments. We were able to discuss EDS Canada's interests and efforts in these areas with this group and lay the ground work for future interactions. An exciting and enlightening day all around!

Close to nature My Summer Vacation
Posted by Charu on May 21, 2009
Hi Friends, Happy Summer Holiday!! I hope everybody is enjoying their summer vacations. I enjoyed too. This year I went on a week vacation to Mysore, Ooty and Coonoor region, situated in Karnataka and Tamilnadu states of India. These places are really awesome. I really pleased to visit the eternal South Beauty of India. Mysore, as you might know, is more popular for its eternal celebration of age old traditions.
Actually there were no such celebrations, during my visit, but the grand festival starts in the months of October, named Dashahara, a 9 day celebration of victory of Lord Rama over one of cruelest king Ravana.
The great thing is I have been invited to join them for upcoming festivals in September.
My next destination was Ooty, the queen of Hills of Southern region of India. First impression wasn't so impressive. Later on when I explored Ooty, I just couldn't believe the awesome nature. I really enjoyed my 4 day stay in Ooty. I ate up all of 2 GB memory of my Canon 110X Powershot.
After enjoying Ooty, I moved to Coonoor, just 18 Km from Ooty. Another great romantic destination for couples, and honeymooners. I loved it so much.
I have planned couple of trips for this year. My next destination probably will be Pachmari, Madhya Pradesh.
I would be uploading more pics of Mysore, Ooty and Coonoor separately. Enjoy the vacations!!!

Imagine this sequence of events, you order for a pizza online and share your details like contact number, house address and you are gaily waiting for your delicious pizza to arrive. All smooth and simple so far, but what if it turns out to be your worst nightmare. The executive who delivers your food has access to your mobile number turns out to be a creep and starts harassing you, giving you a bitter experience. This can greatly affect the reputation of the company. Background verifications on Delivery Executives are a must to avoid this chain of events.
The last couple of years, especially 2014 has seen an remarkable rise in on-demand services in India from cab services and food to groceries, tutoring, home repair, cleaning and beauty treatments.

On-Demand sectors face a great challenge in hiring the right talent and ensuring their employees have a clean background.
Fair percentage of delivery executives manage to get a job using stolen documents belonging to a graduate and also succeed in getting loans from banks using the graduate's PAN card.
The background verification process takes anywhere between 10 days to 2 months, working with third parties like Police department is a time consuming task and waiting for response from their side can take days. The on-demand industries demands background screening to be instant, the opportunities are massive but so are the challenges. On-Demand organizations do not work like other sector. The employees in on-demand sector are on continuous move so there is an accelerated hiring on employees at all levels.
The Safety of customers and employees are utmost important, a crucial background check on every delivery executives are of paramount importance to avoid severe damage to an organization and its various stakeholders.

As students and families prepare for Spring break, CPS CEO Jean-Claude Brizard today announced alternate options for families during the break to keep their children safe.
"I want all of our students to have a happy and safe spring break," Brizard said. "I encourage parents with children on break to get them involved with safe activities that will keep them busy and actively engaged."
A safe and free alternative for students on spring break is the Spring Break Safe Haven program, an extension of the CPS Safe Haven initiative. Spring Break Safe Haven is designed to provide CPS students with structured and productive activities while out of school. This year, Spring Break Safe Haven will operate in 50 churches across Chicago and will begin on Monday, April 2nd, 2011 and will end with culminating events at each participating church on April 6th, 2012.
The program will run Monday through Friday from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. CPS has also partnered with Catholic Charities to provide breakfast and lunch daily for each child.
This season's Spring Break Safe Haven curriculum and theme will focus on anti-bullying. Programming will include anger management workshops, conflict resolution exercises, group discussions as well as arts and crafts. For more information, parents can call 773.553.2500. A list of participating churches is below.
In addition to finding safe spring activities, parents are encouraged to review these safety tips with their children during spring time months:
School resumes on Monday, April 9th. Have a safe, fun spring break!
