Where's the deck? - No deck of cards to deal from? What's with that?
More Reviews for Current Version
a bit buggy - would not let you make legal plays with drag/drop if the cursor was not "on" the proper card (but yet the "stack" of cards are/were on the right card) there doesn't appear to be keyboard shortcuts (for undo in particular) doesn't recognize a new "click" until the SOUND effect AND animation/move has finished undoing an "exposed" card doesn't hide the card, but rather places the old stack on the newly exposed card and as you can see from the supplied screenshot, the "countess" looks like she has been goosed...

With most of the US under quarantine due to COVID-19, I felt like I had to share some ways that helped me fight through my Postpartum Depression that you can still implement under quarantine. Fighting through it can be made worse with the fear and uncertainty that a lot of people are feeling. 1 –Continue reading "Tips on How I Fought Through My Postpartum Depression"

Postpartum Depression
*I'm writing this 8 months after my daughter was born. Postpartum Depression. It happened. Is this a nightmare? How could this be? I've waited for over 10 years for my sweet baby! I had this MENTAL MISFIRE. I couldn't function. Everything was a blur. I cried and cried for no reason. Here I was, FINALLYContinue reading "Postpartum Depression"

Tiaan Steynberg entered the following shot for our Image Club competition. The first reaction of the Image Club judge was that the shot was fake. We want to know. Do you think this photo is real or fake?
Scroll down to find out the truth
The photographer obligingly sent the full sequence of this wild cat in a spat with a caracal at Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Below is the sequence that proves the cat's innocence.
Well done to the photographer Tiaan Steynberg. These pictures tell quite the story.

Percy Bysshe Shelley famously declared poets to be the "unacknowledged legislators of the world." Adam Kirsch updates the sentiment, claiming that "the social role of poetry has actually changed very much in the last 200 years…. No one in power in 1814 was asking for Shelley's views on the Congress of Vienna, just as no one in power in 2014 is asking for John Ashbery's views on climate change":
There are, however, two significant differences between our time and Shelley's, both of which work to the disadvantage of 21st-century poets. The first has to do with cultural literacy — the kinds of things that educated people, who then as now furnished the personnel of government and business, are expected to know. In the Victorian age, when a critic like Matthew Arnold addressed the public, he could expect it to know and care about the classics of English poetry. That is why writing about literature, for Arnold, could serve as a way of writing about society and even politics. Today, no such knowledge can be taken for granted; neither the poetry of the past, nor still less the poetry of the present, can be readily invoked in public discussion, because only specialists are familiar with it.
This in turn may explain the second difference between then and now: the imaginative confidence of poets themselves. Shelley was wrong to think that writing poems like "Queen Mab" or "Prometheus Unbound" would bring revolutionary change to England, but his conviction that they would is what allowed him to write the poems in the first place. Today, poets with a grasp of reality must start from the premise that nothing they write will be much read or have much influence on public discourse. A poetry written under such circumstances may have its own virtues, but they will not be the virtues of the Romantics — conceptual boldness, metaphysical reach, the drive to bring religion and politics themselves under the empire of art. As if in recognition of this fact, poets in our time prefer to imagine themselves not as legislators, but as witnesses — those who look on, powerless to change the world, but sworn at least to tell the truth about it.

Hey everyone, I hope your year is starting off well. If not, it is not the beginning of a theme, so don't believe that lie. Sometimes the enemy will throw some obstacles in our way as seeds of doubt. We all have this from time to time. Take a moment today to declare truth over your heart. Tell God you trust what He is doing and you know that regardless of what is seen in front of you, you know that HE is working in the unseen on your behalf. This year will bring forth fruit and you will declare victory for the Kingdom. Sometimes our choice to refuse to listen to the enemy's invitation is THE most powerful thing we can do. Take heart!
Anyway, that was just something on my heart. I am carving out a new routine here at home with construction going on in our second floor (after over 8 years of living in this beloved house), working for my husband, and having two kids in public school, my whole world has shifted ever so slightly. I am honestly really enjoying it! I have some lofty goals this year and am excited to see how the Holy Spirit and I achieve them. Lately, in the mornings particularly, I have been diving into The Power of the Other by Dr. Henry Cloud. It has been a great book for leadership development. I am only about 2/3 through so my official review will come next week, but I am enjoying it so far.
I am not sure about you, but I am seemingly always reading at least 2 books at a time. I typically keep it to 2–one fiction and one nonfiction as it is easy for my brain to keep them separate. However, I have found that if I am using different formats, I can do three or four! I have been using Hoopla for a while and although it is not a perfect system, free always eases my angst when something doesn't run smoothly on occasion. If you don't know what Hoopla is, it's an app that you can put on your device and access hundreds of digital items from your library. You can download a number of movies, audiobooks, music, ebooks, etc. Then, when they are "due" they will remove themselves. I mean, how cool is that?! I will admit that sometimes I have trouble with audiobooks on my bluetooth device so I just chose to use my old wired earbuds to listen more consistently. I am not sure if that is a device thing (older phone) or what, but again, who cares, free is free!
You can check out Hoopla here.
Thanks to Hoopla I am listening to Everything She Forgot by Lisa Ballantyne while I clean or work out. I like a good story to keep me from focusing too much on the arduous task in front of me. Again, I am not finished with anything this week so my review will have to wait.
The last one I am into is a paperback (because I will forever be a fan of an actual book in my hands) called My Sister's Voice by Mary Carter. I find more and more that I wish I had developed (or been born with) the speed-reader talent that some of my friends possess. I feel accomplished when I get 100 pages in in one day but I also know that I have spent more than an hour just reading to get that far. I am probably considered a slow reader at best, but then again, I am enjoying nearly every morsel!

There's been shortages of all types as New York City deals with the unprecedented lockdown as a result of the coronavirus. But one of the most surprising of these shortages has been dogs and cats.
There's been a "run on pets" in the city, according to Bloomberg, ostensibly as lonely New Yorkers realize they're going to be locked inside without anyone to monopolize the conversation with or boss around. So, many of them have adopted fostered animals.
Shelters in the city say they have received a surge in applications that is as much as "10-fold" their normal rates. New Yorkers apparently see owning pets as a way to calm their nerves during a difficult time. And this means that pets are finding new, and hopefully happy, homes at a record rate.
Anna Lai, the marketing director at Muddy Paws said: "For the moment we definitely don't have any dogs left to match with foster volunteers. Which is a great problem to have."
Shares of pet-related companies have been surging during the pandemic, as well. Online pet supplier Chewy.com has seen shares rise 7% this year, despite the market's near 30% pullback. Its delivery lead times have been extended to between 7 and 10 days for most customers.
RBC Capital Markets said in a report: "Chewy's in-home delivery model mitigates the public health concern of consumers shopping at brick-and-mortar retailers."
PetMed Express is another name that's been outperforming. Its shares are up more than 7% during the S&P's decline.
And the run on pets seems to extend itself far beyond New York. For example, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in LA says they have seen a 70% increase in animals going to foster care, also. Julie Castle, chief executive officer of Best Friends said: "We're seeing people show up in droves to foster."
But rescue organizations are also worried the opposite will happen once the pandemic is over or the economy plunges further. They fear they could see a rise in surrendered pets.
Lisa LaFontaine, chief executive officer of the Humane Rescue Alliance said: "We're doing whatever we can to empty all of our shelter facilities. We don't know what's going to happen when the economic wave starts hitting."
But one Washington D.C. couple said the time was opportunistic for them to welcome a new member to the family. Tom Drescher and his wife, Becky Nolin said: "It occurred to us it would be a good time to adopt a dog because we'd have the time and bandwidth to help it settle in. It's been a blast for us so far -- we've been thrilled to have her."

Another simple scenario, leading on from the last post.
I have now added process C to my application -
It does a security check on my order -
Now I call this from ProcessA using Send and Receive activities.
Send configuration -
Receive configuration -
BTW. Here is a list of the valid types -
I do the necessary data associations and then deploy/test -
I then check for completed instances in the Tracking tab.
Here I see 2 instances, one for A and one for C.
Remember, we do not see a separate instance for B as it is being leveraged as a reusable process.
To quote the docs -
The call activity lets you call a reusable process from within the current process. The
process being called becomes a child process of the calling process. When calling a
reusable process, the call activity of the parent process waits until the child process
completes before continuing.
I check the audit trail for ProcessA –Read the complete article here.

I was literally blown away by The News editorial "Harness the wind." Accepting wind energy's inefficiencies and unreliability, yet endorsing it, makes no sense. Wind is not a good deal for pursuing alternative energy.
As a leading opponent to industrial wind turbines in Lake Erie, the issues were not that they were going to be sited too close to shore or an obstruction to fishermen. We understood the New York Power Authority plan and fishermen knew the environmental negatives. Global experience proves there are no environmental or economic benefits from industrial- scale wind energy. In addition, the facts do not support the wind industry's claims for jobs per megawatt.
We opposed placing wind turbines in Lake Erie because they are an environmental nightmare. Birds, bats and even eagles struggling to make a comeback along Lake Erie will become casualties. Wind turbines cannot reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They must be backed up by power plants, which cannot efficiently cycle on and off at the whim of the wind.
There is no question that wind turbines have a huge impact on the aesthetics of the view. Wind turbines have an impact not only on those who live with the view but also those who will be impacted by the loss of income from people coming here to enjoy the unencumbered lake vistas and sunsets.
Wasting time, resources and money on wind turbines is not a boost for renewable energy. What is so renewable about wind turbines that require oil to make many of the component parts and tons of rare earth minerals for magnets? This just scratches the surface of the non-renewable wind turbines. Finally, the question is: Why add such an economic and environmental burden on New Yorkers for an energy source that cannot replace any conventional fossil fuel source, or reduce carbon dioxide?

Architectural descisions - why and how??
Architectural descisions is a part of the software development process that often gets lost over time - at least most of them do. Yes we do make diagrams and solution description, but what about the descisions that were just natural to make? The desciosions that were just obvious? What happens to those in the future - try to ask yourself why you chose a decorator pattern over a facade five years ago - can you remember? We all make descisions everyday - some are small and some are big. A lot of the ......

We tend to buy a lot of ground beef in advance, because it's easy to freeze it in for the "hungry days". So here is another recipe with ground beef; home made meatballs (I prefer them flat but you could leave 'm as balls if you prefer it that way).
Enjoy & selamat makan!
Broccoli & Flat meatballs
INGREDIENTS (for 3 persons)
Needed for broccoli:
- 1 broccoli
- 2 onions
- 3 toes of garlic
- a splash of vinigar
- water
- a bit of salt
- some nutmeg
- some ginger powder
- some kurkuma
Needed for Meatballs:
- 500 gr ground beef
- an egg
- some ketoembar
- some djinten
- some laos
- some white pepper
- some ketjap asin
- a teaspoon of garlic paste
- a teaspoon of petis udang paste
- a bit of Rasa Sapi (Indonesian beef boulion powder)
Also needed:
- oil
- butter
- a lil bag of Knorr Gravy. (optional)
- A cup of water
Tools needed:
- A wok
- A frying pan
- A cooking pot
- a bowl
* Crack the egg in a bowl. Add the spices (for meatballs) to it and mix it together until it becomes one brownish smooth mixture.
* Add the ground beef to the to the mixture and kneed into one smooth mixture. Leave the ground beef alone for a while.
* Chop the broccoli into little chunks. Cook it for 10 minutes in a mixture of water, a splash of vinigar, some nutmeg and a little bit of salt.
* Add some oil to the wok and put the wok on the fire. Chop up the onions and the garlic, throw it in the wok.
* Take the broccoli out of the pan and allow it to drain. (Do not throw the water from the broccoli away, there's still lots of flavor to it.) Put the broccoli in the wok and stir fry for a while. Add a splash of the broccoli water to the wok and leave it to simmer on a medium fire. When the broccoli water seems to vaporize, add another splash. Not too much, though.
* Focus on the ground beef again. Kneed about 6 to 12 flat meatballs (depending on how big you want them to be).
* Melt some butter in a frying pan. Add the flat meatballs to the frying pan and bake the them evenly on both sides till they're nice and brown.
* Meanwhile, you can add some kurkuma and some ginger powder to taste to the broccoli and stir fry some more.
* Once the flat meatballs are done, don't throw away the fat in the frying pan. Instead, chop up an onion and melt 50 gr extra butter in that same frying pan on a high fire. Add a cup of water (and the Knorr Gravy pack) and keep stirring and cooking for a minute. Now you have gravy for the flat meatballs.
* Serve with white rice, mashed potatoes or go crazy and cook up some noodles with a drop of Petis Udang Paste and some Rasa Sapi.
* Don't have Petis Udang? The meatballs taste just as good without it.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Wins Game of the Year at VGX 2013 on Spike TV
Grand Theft Auto 5 Wins Game of the Year at VGX 2013 on Spike TV
Grand Theft Auto 5 took home the grand prize at the Spike Video Game Awards (VGX 2013) by winning Game of the Year.
Best Independent Game winner was Gone, Best Mobile Game was Plants vs. Zombies while The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds won for Best Handheld Game.
See the full list of winners here.
GTA 5 also received the Platinum Prize in Japan at the Sony Computer Entertainment PlayStation Awards this week in recognition for them selling over one million units of the game.
The window for this year to receive an award was from Nov. 1, 2012 through October 31 2013. A number of games received the Gold Award for selling over 500,000 units in that period. Those games included Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dragon's Crown, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, Tales of Xillia 2 and Yakuza 5.
It has been rumored that Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PC will be a bit cheaper to purchase than its console contemporaries. New games on average, retail for $59.99, but traditionally PC games are slightly cheaper.
"The PC version of BioShock Infinite costs 49.99€ in the retail store that is not too far away from my home when I took a look a few weeks ago. Looking at Steam, I could have got the game for 24.99€ around a week ago," a spokesperson from Society and Religion wrote. "I could go on with the list, but I think you will get what I mean. PC titles from retail are usually cheaper than the same titles on the consoles, while those PC titles are even cheaper on Steam. And it's more significant than it seems to be."
GTA 5 PC may be heading to gamers in the summer of 2014 according to new listings. Stores have listed a GTA 5 steam key to be preordered online citing a summer 2014 release date, according to SidTech.
"The pre-orders tell us that those who pre-order will have to wait for summer next year for the release. We take the summer to mean somewhere between July and September 2014," the website writes. "You do have to take this with a pinch of salt as at the moment Rockstar have not spoken up about a released date. Personally we thought that that Rockstar would launch GTA 5 for the PC before we got to see it on the PS4 and Xbox One."

Definitions for "Flintlock"
A lock for a gun or pistol, having a flint fixed in the hammer, which on striking the steel ignites the priming.
A hand firearm fitted with a flintlock; esp., the old-fashioned musket of European and other armies.
(n.) A firing mechanism used primarily on muzzleloaders, using the shower of sparks created when a piece of flint strikes a steel frizzen to ignite a priming charge, which in turn ignites the main powder charge.
Flintlock were a 70s pop group from Essex, England. Its members were: Derek Pascoe (vocals), Mike Holoway (drums/percussion), Jamie Stone (bass), John Summerton (guitar) and Bill Rice (keyboards). The group came to national attention in the mid-Seventies through regular appearances on the British childrens' TV programmes You Must Be Joking and Pauline's Quirkes (hosted by the then up-and-coming actress Pauline Quirke).

Business Development - Internship
Business Development · Anyfin - Stockholm
If you want to help build a Fintech company from the ground up, and make the world a better place in the meantime, we think we have the right place for you
The consumer credit space stinks. It's great that we as consumers have the ability to plan our finances and get access to goods and services earlier than we otherwise would, but why should it cost 20-30% in financing? Why double the price of the TV or my groceries just because I choose to part pay over 6 months or use my credit card over Christmas? At Anyfin we asked ourselves the same thing, and decided to do something about it. We do not originate new loans, but instead apply technology to make it as easy for consumers to get better rates on existing loans, part payments or credit cards, as easy as taking a selfie. And instead of trying to hide a lot of shenanigans in the fine print - as most companies seem to do in the industry - why not treat customers the way they should and be transparent and meet them where they are.
Anyfin is keen to find better terms for consumers outside Sweden as well in the near future thus need help in researching potential markets. As an intern you would look into a specific country and describe how the consumer credit market looks like. This would include mapping out the local competition, how the local regulation supports our product and how the partner ecosystem for financial products looks like. You would then present your findings to the founders and the management team.
As a business developer intern you will be
- Working with internationalization and conduct market research
- Finding & evaluating partners and suppliers
- Make recommendations on changes needed to our product for a the specific country considering customer experience, regulatory landscape and partner ecosystem
- Make recommendations on market entry strategy
You have
- An interest in financial services and the mechanics behind them
- An exceptionally driven personality
- A passport from a European country other than Sweden
- An analytical capability way out on the right side of the bell curve
- Plenty of sisu and a get things done attitude
- No hesitations picking up the phone to find answers that can not be googled
The formal part
- You are studying to an MSc or BSc in a technical/law field or a Business degree at a top tier university
- Have an open mind and like people for what they are (yes, this belong in the formal requirements section)
Or, know someone who would be a perfect fit? Let them know!

There aren't many hobbies more satisfying than grilling, cooking, roasting everything that roams our land. Enjoying it with metal riffs and great beer just makes it better. Let me share with you my favourite grill, burger, steak, stew, sandwich recipes with the songs I was listening to while making them.
As you might have guessed, this blog is not for those who want to urgently switch to a healthy lifestyle, loose weight, or become vegetarian. Don't even expect me to ever focus on these aspects of cooking. Instead, what I can guarantee are recipes that, in my opinion, show you the way to truly epic food.
Enjoy your cooking, and don't forget:
In Meat and Metal We Trust.

Pollen alert: Hayfever is back and so is pollen alert!
If you are allergic, the national network of monitoring Aerobiological (RNSA) calls for vigilance. This "late and massive" alert pollen is explained by the sudden return of warm weather.
The return of warm weather awaited not only has advantages. All persons subject to hay fever realize it since the beginning of the week it tickles, it itches, runny nose and red eyes. Allergy season is officially open. This is explained by the mass of pollen in the air up to three times higher than normal.
To keep informed allergo a pollen-newsletter is regularly updated on the site RNSA.
Preventive measures can be applied, especially these:
- avoid going out in the hottest times of the day;
- on returning in the evening, take a shower and brush your hair not to circulate pollen in the house.
If more disturbing manifestations of allergy (mainly asthma), consult your doctor or an allergist.

New Evangelization Novena: We are called to evangelize
During the season of Lent, we are called to renew our relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we prepare to celebrate the Passion, death, and Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. This year, we ask you to join the CatholicTV Webathon Novena by dedicating a portion of your prayer to the New Evangelization. We will pray a novena as we seek to strengthen our mission of evangelization through television. We pray that as we grow in our own relationships with God this Lent, we may bring others back to Christ by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Please join us each day by praying the opening prayer, meditating on a Bible verse that calls us to evangelize, and praying for the New Evangelization to bear fruit.
Novena Day 1: We are all called to evangelize
Pope St. John Paul II first used the term "New Evangelization" decades ago. But for us as Catholics, there is nothing really "new" about evangelizing. Our job as disciples of Christ has always been to bring the Gospel to all people. As a Church, this is a common responsibility we share. Evangelization can take different forms, and your particular gifts might prompt you to approach it in an unconventional way. When we think about the New Evangelization, we open our minds to all the possible ways we can evangelize. Just as we are all called to holiness, we are all called to evangelize.
Opening Prayer
Lord God, we ask you to pour out your blessings on your Church as we answer your call to the New Evangelization. Grant us the grace to proclaim the Gospel to those who have not yet heard it and to those who have strayed from you, especially through the use of television in CatholicTV's mission. Help us to see new ways to use the tools of our time to spread your Word to all people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
"He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" – Mark 16:15
Lord Jesus, you called your disciples to preach the Good News to the whole world. Help us as your disciples today to bear witness to the truth of the Gospel to all people. Amen.
Thank you for praying with us as part of the Webathon Novena. If you're able to offer us financial support in any amount, you can do so here:

After a long spell out Tyson Fury has received in principle approval from the top British boxing chiefs to have his license suspension revoked, once they receive his latest medical records.
Fury had been suspended from professional boxing in 2016 on account of medical and anti-doping issues.
The decision has spelled good news for bookies, with bets on who Fury's comeback fight likely to make them a fair amount of money. In recent years the combination of gambling and boxing has been taken to the next level with Canadian casinos online, which offer several interesting boxing themed slot games. The boxing world is likely to go in frenzy after Fury makes his comeback, after his incredible victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, which had generated record betting interest across the United Kingdom.
What's next for Fury?
It is a well-known fact Fury needs to shed a few pounds before he can enter the ring since he claimed the titles from Klitschko in 2015, in what was the Ukrainian fighter's first defeat in over 11 years. Since then, Fury has also parted ways with his coach and mentor – his uncle, Peter Fury.
Presently, Fury is now training under the guidance of Ben Davison as he prepares himself to get back into the ring after his prolonged absence, for a comeback fight that could be scheduled for this summer. Fury has repeatedly indicated that he has targeted April for his grand return with a series of fights against the biggest names in the division.
For the time being, Fury has offered to help New Zealand's Joseph Parker for his fight against heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, for their fight scheduled on 31st March of this year. "If you want I'll come spar you when [you're] in the UK training for the fight. It will help both me and you. You won't find better sparring than me I promise you. Let me know pal?", tweeted Fury on Thursday.
Who will Fury fight?
Sources within the boxing industry have suggested that Tyson Fury's first opponent after his two year-long hiatus is likely to be the reigning heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, who defeated Klitschko in a thrilling fight in August, 2017. The champion has expressed his willingness to take on Fury in the ring, going to the extent of saying that he'll "knock his block off".
"I'm deadly serious about fighting him, I'm deadly serious too and I see a serious man, when he's reaching out and I'm reaching out we're both serious about getting this fight on", said Joshua to iFL TV.
While Joshua has made it abundantly clear that he wishes to take Fury on toe-to-toe, he maintains that he'll be there for Fury if he needs any help or support. The fight between the two champions could take place as early as the coming summer, revealed Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, if the two parties are willing to sit down and about it face-to-face.
The comeback has opened up some exciting new possibilities in the British boxing circuit, but it remains to be seen whether Fury can work his magic after his prolonged absence.

The Grand Rapids Dam was a dam located on the Wabash River on the state line between Wabash County and Knox County in the U.S. states of Illinois and Indiana. The dam was built in the late 1890s by the Army Corps of Engineers to improve navigation on the Wabash River. The dam was located near Mount Carmel, Illinois.
Background and construction
The Wabash Navigation Company was originally commissioned to build the Grand Rapids Dam. Its charter was approved by the Illinois and Indiana legislatures in the early decades of the nineteenth century.[2] President Andrew Jackson vetoed the project during his administration in the 1830s, refusing any federal support.[3]
Eventually the state of Indiana allowed the Wabash Navigation Company in 1849 to construct the first timber crib structure as part of it.[4] Thomas S. Hinde first surveyed the area where the dam was proposed to be built. After completing the survey, he recommended that the dam should be built. As it happened, he recommended a site next to property that he owned, which would give him access to the water power provided by the dam.[5]
Although the first stages of work happened in 1849, the construction of the concrete-and-stone lock and dam was not completed until 1897 and cost $260,000. After the dam was built, it was a popular tourist destination because of the improved fishing conditions below the dam, where water levels could be kept advantageous for the fish and they fed in the turbulence. In 1922, Frederick Hinde Zimmerman built the Grand Rapids Hotel next to the dam to take advantage of this attraction.[6] The lock and dam were abandoned in 1931.[7]

What Caps Players Did During the DC Blizzard
Photo: @Kuzya92
Over the last two days, the DC Blizzard dropped two feet of snow in the district and three feet in surrounding areas. The snow forced the cancellation of both Caps' home games this weekend including tilts against the Ducks and Penguins. That leaves the Caps in a really weird stretch, where they'll only play one game in 14 days.
Without hockey, the players spent time with their families and messing around on social media. I went ahead and documented it all.

Students and Faculty Share Election Night Excitement
The evening of Nov. 6, laptops, dorm televisions, and classroom projectors all aired one thing: election coverage. The presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney drew to a close, with Swarthmore students and faculty gathering in common areas to hear the news. One such viewing space, the third floor of Trotter Hall, became a popular venue due to the presence of political science professors, hoagies, and big-screen TVs.
Cynthia Halpern, chair of the political science department, was sure students and professors were in for a long night. She conceded that this election was "not as groundbreaking" as 2008, but that didn't stop dozens of students from flocking to Trotter. While Halpern raced over to switch the channel to NBC, Associate Professor of Political Science Keith Reeves '88 added a solemn prediction. "More gridlock," he sighed. Guessing the night would culminate in a tight popular vote, Reeves said, "Everything liberals have said about George W. Bush, will be aimed at Obama."
Arjun Vishwanath '16 remarked, "No matter your political affiliation, people are genuinely excited to see the potential for change in America."
Students and professors exchanged thoughts on the Massachusetts Senate race, referenda in their home states, and the morning's major newspaper editorials. Eager students loaded baked goods on red, white, and blue paper plates.
By 10:30 p.m., anyone standing north of Parrish Hall could hear students cheering. The networks called Wisconsin for Obama, and New Hampshire and Minnesota followed suit.
As results trickled in, Yuan Qu '14, camera in hand, saw election night as the perfect opportunity to film the scene for her Visual Anthropology class.
"Our film crew was looking at how watching the results was a collective social experience and a deeply individual and personal one," she said.
Across the way in Kohlberg Hall, the newly active Swarthmore Conservatives bit their lips as CNN showed the Florida vote totals growing closer. Before midnight, it was clear Obama had earned a second term.
Tyler Becker '14, who had interned with the Romney campaign since before the New Hampshire primaries, admitted the result was a "personal disappointment." The next day, he reflected, "Now that the election is over, I plan to explore more conservative literature and philosophical ideas to better articulate my own conservative viewpoint. Ideas are the key to a conservative renewal."
Election season has passed, but Swarthmore students are as ready as ever to swap ideas and solutions.

Thousands Benefit From Akzo Nobel Community Program
Tens of thousands of people across the globe have benefited from an Akzo Nobel initiative which, since it was launched in June last year, has made EUR 10 million available to support deserving community projects all over the world.
Arnhem, the Netherlands, June 22, 2006 — Tens of thousands of people across the globe have benefited from an Akzo Nobel initiative which, since it was launched in June last year, has made EUR 10 million available to support deserving community projects all over the world.
The Akzo Nobel Community Program is designed to encourage employees to play a more active role in helping society by making funds available which can be used to assist worthwhile local causes. To date, more than 150 projects on all five continents have benefited from the financial and hands-on assistance it offers.
Established in 2005 with a budget of EUR 5 million (EUR 1.5 million of which was allocated to a special partnership with the Red Cross), the program—which funds sustainable projects for a maximum of three years—has already supported a wide range of worthy causes, including the setting up of a pharmacy in a deprived area of Sao Paolo, Brazil; the vaccination of more than 1,000 working horses in Romania and providing care for more than 100 mentally and physically handicapped orphans in China.
"The Community Program has enjoyed an excellent first year and is a palpable example of how passionate we are about embracing social responsibility as one of our key values," said Akzo Nobel CEO Hans Wijers, who recently broke the ground on a new sports complex at the Kocaeli University in Turkey, which is being constructed with support from the global program after the project was initiated by employees working at the company's Turkish Marshall Boya coatings plant.
"The skill, knowledge and hands-on involvement of our employees are vital to the Community Program's continued success and they have been very enthusiastic about taking part," added Wijers.
Since last year's launch, the EUR 1.5 million donated to the Red Cross partnership has been allocated to projects in Indonesia and China. EUR 800,000 is being spent in Indonesia to improve the health and living conditions of poor families, homeless people and street children, as well as training a large number of community representatives. The other EUR 700,000 is being used to fund awareness of AIDS/HIV prevention among Chinese rural migrant workers and students.
For 2006, EUR 5 million has again been made available to Akzo Nobel employees through the global program, from which they can request funds to help make a difference in communities close to where they live and work.

Plus stock CNC machined sand castings can take a good deal of costs out of the DCPD tooling budget. Castek's tight grain structure enhanced metal handling processes on our aluminum castings allow us to provide a much lower cost alternative to aluminum billet DCPD molds. Castek CNC machines a core and cavity foundry pattern, manufactures aluminum castings with machining stock and then CNC machines and assembles the mold complete. Each Castek aluminum sand casting DCPD mold has proper engineering, ribs and back side supports for durability and longevity.
CNC machined aluminum castings can be used in many development or non-cosmetic applications. Castek often times uses CNC machined aluminum castings for core side or back side of part mold halves coupled with a billet aluminum lower. This allows a significant cost savings on the core mold half. The lower side cavity is CNC machined from M1 or 5000 series aluminum to provide a "class A" surface. This mold type can save an even more substantial amount of tooling dollars on part geometries that an extend Z height.

When you're angling to reach your goals, you need to be focused on what YOU need to do, not anyone else. "Put the blinders on and get to work!" as they say. There are 3 people, however, who you should pay attention to and learn from in every area of your life for as long as you want to be good at it. 1) A Person who is doing astronomically better than you – this person is doing better because of a fundamental difference in what she is doing, thinking and being. Not a simple tactic like waking up earlier or sending more emails. Analyzing this person's way of thinking would help you. 2) A person on your achievement level who is getting marginally better results than you right now – this is where a change in surgery and tactic could help you if you pay attention. The great thing about watching this person: you can adopt there tactics and get results NOW. 3) A person who is now where you used to be. You already know their path and what they will go through. You know the pitfalls and best (and worst) practices. These people will be your mentees, coaching clients, fans, and customers.

People who can help you and people you can help. Form potential alliances with, people you can learn from. About being aware of who else is out there.
If we've made it to a certain point then we have something we can give back, we have something of value, a piece of information for those who are on the same road.
It's always good to be thinking about all the things you know, can do, want to do, who you are. Glad your podcast is here Dre. Opens up new avenues. Gets the mind working.
Glad you're getting value from the show!

New setback for airlines as UK proposes fresh quarantine plan
Players in the aviation industry are facing fresh setbacks, as the UK government plans to introduce a 14-day quarantine period for people arriving in the UK.
It follows several other countries in their attempts to stem the spread of coronavirus.
But airlines and airports have warned it would crush hopes of a resumption in travel and compound damage.
Industry body Airlines UK previously said the move would "effectively kill international travel" and cause "immeasurable damage" to the industry and wider UK economy.
It also said it would put people off travelling when lockdowns are lifted.
The policy, first reported by The Times, is expected to be announced on Sunday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Downing Street office declined comment.
READ MORE: People arriving in the UK from abroad could be quarantined for 14 days
Airlines UK said: "Nobody is going to go on holiday if they're not able to resume normal life for 14 days, and business travel would be severely restricted."
The Times report said lorry drivers bringing crucial supplies would be exempt from the quarantine. Travellers from Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man would also dodge the restrictions.
Big players in the industry such as IAG (IAG), the owner of British Airways, Vueling and Aer Lingus, have said they must cut costs across the board to weather the coronavirus crisis.
Air travel won't return to normal until at least 2023, its chief executive Willie Walsh said on Thursday.
Under the measures, which are likely to come into force in early June, travellers will have to provide the address at which they will self-isolate on arrival. Those found to be breaking the rules face fines of up to £1,000 or even deportation.

soon as you can tell them every thing-tell my mother -- but here his voice failed him, and for a while he was silent. After an interval he again asked if the enemy were defeated, and being reassured of the fact, added—It is a great satisfaction to me to have beaten the French. You know I have always wished to die this way. Is Colonel Graham, and are all my aid-de-camps well ? I have made my will, and remembered my servants.' He then thanked the doctors for their attention-asked once more for his aid-de-camps, and expired without a struggle. At an early hour on the following morning a grave, only three feet deep, was hastily prepared for his remains in the bastion of Corunna, and there, while the enemy were still firing upon the little party who performed the obsequies, was his corpse deposited without a coffin ! The scene was well fitted for the burial of a hero.
One of the best proofs which can be given of the merit of this great man, is to be found in the record of that deep sorrow by which his country marked its sense of his death, even without a dissentient voice, and the universally concurring approbation of all the officers who knew him. His military knowledge was clear, profound, and extensive; though his vigilance was unremitting, and his discipline exact, he was beloved by the army; and executed all the duties of his elevated command in a style which has by common consent ranked him among the first of his profession. Wounded early in the action at Aboukir, under Sir Ralph Abercrombie, he refused to leave the field, and continued to exbibit a force of exertion almost incredible to many when the severity of the wound was ascertained. In Holland he was also three times wounded before he could be led from the action. Many were the days which mainly depended upon Sir John Moore; in every quarter his example was the finest; in every country he exalted the character of his native land, and in death he was the twin-brother of General Wolfe !

Of this officer the following facts have been recorded. He was the son of James Duff, Esq. of Banff, in Aberdeenshire, and was born in 1764. A domestic tutor superintended his education until he was nine years old, at which period he ran away from home, and entered on board a merchantship trading between the neighbouring ports. But the Captain no sooner discovered his rank, than he sent him back to his father, who deeming it perverseness to oppose a disposition thus strongly evinced, directed his attention to the study of nautical science for two years, and in 1777 procured him a midshipman's commission on board the Panther, which then lay before Gibraltar, under the command of a relation, Commodore Robert Duff.

Soon after this he married Sophia, the second daughter of Alexander Dixon, Esq. of Muiresk, and established his residence in Edinburgh. Being made a Post-captain in 1793, he was attached to the Mediterranean Fleet, but was soon removed to the West Indies, with the command of the Duke, of ninety guns. This ship being shivered by lightning in the subsequent attack on Martinique, he returned to England, but having the fortune to be again employed, he served at different intervals on the coast of Ireland, and in the North Seas, until a fleet mustered before Cadiz to encounter the naval strength of France and Spain united. In the great battle which ensued, the Mars was directed to lead the lee division, but was outrun at the onset by the superior sailing of the Royal Sovereign, which carried Lord Collingwood, and the Bellerophon. No sooner, however, did she come into action than a most desperate conflict took place. A French ship bore on her from either side; a first rate Spanish vessel was on her bow, and a fourth was within shot. Under these overwhelming odds, the larboard opponent, the Fougueux, soon showed signs of being disabled, but the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to determine her state precisely. Duff, therefore, gave orders to rake her, and stepped to the end of the quarter-deck to look over the sides, when a cannon-ball swept his head from his shoulders, and killed iwo sailors who stood behind him.
Captain Duff was a man of commanding appearance, but modest address : he was more than six feet high, strongly made, well proportioned, and agreeably featured. His crew were so warmly attached to him, that report said there was not a dry eye on board the ship when his death was announced. This attachment had been strongly proved on a former occasion, for during the period of the mutiny in 1797, the ringleaders confessed on their trial, at Portsmouth, that it was impossible to move Duff's crew, in consequence of the affection with which they regarded him. By his wife he had five children, of whom, however, only three, a boy and two girls, survived to join their mother in her affiction.

Fine FurnitureWritten by Jeremy Horelick
If you're in the market for fine furniture, you have a few potential options. You can plunk down big money for store-bought designer furniture that you'd find in a high-end catalog, or you can have your furniture custom built for your home. While many shoppers are more than content to buy exquisite chairs and armoires from foreign designers, some do-it-yourself types would rather develop their furniture from scratch.
The appeal of this latter option is understandable, especially if you're a licensed contractor or home improvement-minded individual. If you've taken years to design your own home from scratch, hire the builder, and oversee every aspect of the project, why go and spoil your signature work by buying someone else's interior creations? You might as well have purchased a fully furnished tract home in the first place.
Order Your Own Fine Furniture
The alternative is to hire out a wood carving specialist who can give you the hands-on attention you deserve. You may pay a little more for these services, but the investment will pay off in singular pieces that provide your home with wonderful accents. Commission your own coffee table or clock and choose the appropriate level of detail. You may want a subtle floral pattern along the trim, rough-hewn edges, or a lacquered finish on simple pine or oak.
Another benefit of custom building your own furniture is the chance to accessorize your pieces. Give your living room or den a unifying theme by sticking with all mahogany or butternut, or choose a wildlife or nautical motif. The choices are only limited by your own imagination, as there are fine furniture builders who can produce anything you dream up.

Kyle Weller is a student at Boise State University, where he's studying kinesiology and exercise science. He plans to earn his CSCS certificate (certified strength and conditioning specialist) and go on to get his master's degree. He grew up in Hailey and spends his summers back home working in the Wood River Valley.
In 2018, Kyle was playing goalie in a soccer match when he dove for the ball and dislocated his right shoulder. He had a 360-degree tear of the labrum (the ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint). He didn't get it seen for about two months, even though he was in a lot of pain when he tried to do simple things like driving, wearing a seatbelt or raising his arms.
But he finally did go in to see Dr. Tracye Lawyer, a St. Luke's orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine physician. She's also a former collegiate athlete with a strong connection and dedication to the needs of student athletes. She repaired Kyle's shoulder at St. Luke's Nampa.
"It was a three-hour surgery and it went perfectly," Kyle says. "She's meticulous with her work. The recovery was quick; after a few weeks of therapy I was back to doing all the daily things that hurt me before. I'm 100% better now."
How do you define health? Physical? Mental? Social? Health goes beyond medical care. It's how we take care of ourselves, how we interact with our communities, how we take care of each other.
Let St. Luke's support your health, however you define it.

Art is not always about pretty things. Its about who we are, what happened to us, and how are lives are affected.
– Elizabeth Broun
December 2019
Dear friends,
Did you know that Artspace is a registered charity? We were set up as such from the start as our mandate in 1984. It makes sense, as that mandate is to support art organizations in Manitoba. And we are doing just that… supporting over 45 art organizations in Manitoba during this year alone. Why am I telling you this? Well, we run our programs at cost so that program participants pay well below market rates for the services we provide, even though they are top notch and delivered by people with specialized knowledge of this sector. This means that Artspace is dependant on donors, like you, to achieve our bold vision. As the year is wrapping up in a couple of weeks, I am writing to you and asking you to consider making a year-end donation to Artspace in exchange for a charitable tax receipt, and the assurance of supporting the Art Sector of Manitoba.
Collectively, the members of Artspace represent the larger cultural sector and give voice to individuals and organizations that would otherwise have lesser capacity. Artspace has over the years broadened the discussion around art and art making, enhancing the significant role that the arts plays in the vibrancy of the Exchange District and in Manitoba as a whole. By nurturing the cultural soul of Manitoba's art sector, Artspace has touched the lives of so many Manitobans. Said plainly, the impact on the social capital and economic strength of the Province has been profound. The relationship between Artspace and its member art organizations is deeply symbiotic. We take pride in everything that our members are able to achieve and honour our contributions that allow that to happen.
As arts organizations and artists alike continue to search for new ways to explore and celebrate the Manitoba experience, so too will Artspace continue to keep pace with subsequent changes and new demands. Artspace remains dedicated to enhancing service levels to Manitoba arts organizations as they work to increase sustainability.
Said plainly… we will build on our foundations in order to achieve more! So as we look back at 2019 we can be proud and smile at what has been achieved. But we have one foot in the past, one foot in the present and a gaze to the future. The future has great opportunity. For example, in 2020 we will launch a visiting artist residency program at 505 St.Mary's avenue. We will bring back Lost in Artspace to offer a full building experience for one night only. We will have some moments to celebrate Manitoba's 150th anniversary, while recognizing the history of this land is thousands of years old. We will endeavour to include more organizations in our Arts Management program. We will seize opportunities as they arise. We will be dependable to our current art organization participants.
Eric Plamondon
Executive Director
For all donations of 225$ or more, Artspace will send you an original print by Winnipeg artist Paul Robles : Nests and Dens– BlackMoons for FullArtspace
NB: a one time run of 100 prints were made. Offer good until we run out!
