Teacher Institute Policies and Procedures
Teacher Institute Faculty Bios
The Ringling College of Art and Design Summer Teacher Institute provides an immersive professional development experience for educators in the arts and related disciplines. This weeklong institute is designed to provide creative experiences to both introduce and explore new techniques; and to ultimately enhance instructional delivery by sharing ideas and processes that will promote and enhance arts integration into the curriculum.
Participants enroll in both a morning Monday-Friday class and an afternoon Monday-Thursday class, and have other opportunities including mini-workshops, an evening lecture, and a field trip to the Ringling Museum. Time for communal reflection and interaction outside of the classroom is enjoyed during on-campus dining in the morning and at lunchtime. This "to the classroom and beyond" approach continues with Open Studio time available in multiple campus studios and lab classrooms.
On the final day, students participate in a debriefing session to share the week's experiences, insights, and accomplishments. Classroom practice and integration with regard to educational standards is highlighted and discussed by participants and faculty. A Closing Exhibition and Reception celebrates the week's many accomplishments, and serves as a venue for personal reflection on personal work and that of their peers.
Ringling College Continuing Studies and Special Programs awards students who successfully complete all scheduled programming 4 CEUs.
Summer Teacher Institute is funded in part by Ringling College of Art and Design. Cost: $295 that includes a $50 non-refundable reservation fee. Fees cover 40 hours of course instruction, lectures, one museum visit, closing exhibition & reception, on-campus lodging and 12 meals.

Pro-Athletes Play Golf for Cystic Fibrosis Awareness...
Mauli Ola Foundation's 3rd annual Surfers For Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament took place at the Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point, California on August 3, 2010, and the event was a success on all fronts.
It was a bright and sunny day with the third and fourth holes overlooking the Pacific Ocean as 144 celebrated professional athletes hit the links in support of Mauli Ola Foundation's Surf Experience Tour, which benefits young people living with Cystic Fibrosis.
Notable athletes on the golf course included: Honoree and pro-surfer Makuakai Rothman; North Shore "Wolf Pak" member and extreme surfer, Kala Alexander; pro-surfer and brother of three-time world champion, Andy Irons, Bruce Irons; six-time Triple Crown surfer Sunny Garcia; and pro-surf siblings Jason and Benji Weatherley.
Other pro-surfers including Sean Moody, Fred Patacchia Jr., Nathan Fletcher and Dean Morrison were also on hand, as was mixed martial arts fighter, Nissen Osterneck. The event also had a guest appearance by mixed martial artist and UFC - Ultimate Fighting Champion, BJ Penn.
All of these talented and generous athletes did their part at the golf tournament to raise funds to support the 2010 MOF Surf Experience Tour – currently holding 20 surfing events throughout the U.S. with stops in California, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia and New York.
"Our surf experience days are essential in supporting kids and young adults who are living with the genetic disease of Cystic Fibrosis. Surfing is a natural and effective way of treating their respiratory distress," states MOF's Special Events Director, Steve Swanson. "The way the high saline content in the ocean air helps to clear the lungs of CF patients is nature giving back at its finest!"
The event culminated with Hawaiian pro-surfer Kalani Robb winning the $5000.00 putting completion by making three consecutive putts, accumulating to 100 feet. The event also offered four closest-to-the-pin competitions, four hole-in-one competitions with a 2010 Mercedes Benz C300 on the line at hole 5, and two long drive competitions. Raffle prizes included surf boards, skate boards, putters, golf bags, and vacations packages.
A special thanks goes out to Title Sponsor, Sponsor Me; Presenting Sponsor, Ambry Genetics; Cart Sponsor, Agilent Technologies; Water Sponsor, Roche; and Hole Sponsors, Primo Beer, Raindance Technologies, Etnies Shoes and Sapporo Beer. Lunch was provided by Beach Pit BBQ. Two hundred Flexfit MOF customized golf event hats were handed out at the tournament, with a Flexfit MOF hat given to each golf participant.
"The hard work, dedication and generosity of all of the event's sponsors and volunteers helped to make this an unforgettable day," expressed Swanson. "After such a great success at this year's golf tournament, our 2011 golf tournament is already in the works."

I have lived in Patterson off and on for more than 10 years and live there now. I have four vehicles — one parked in the garage, two in my driveway and one in the street in front of my house.
In the past two months, I have received two 72-hour notices to move the vehicle that is on the street. I have been parking my truck on the street for more than two years now without an issue. My truck is registered and has insurance on it.
Is the city really hurting that bad for money? Where would "they" like me to park my truck? In front of someone else's house? On my front lawn?
Come on, people. I can see if it was not registered, but I have paid my debt to the state to park on the street.
Todd George, Patterson

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 26, 2011)—After a failed try on synthetic, Separate Forest will be back on turf in the $70,000 Great Lady M. Stakes Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Named in honor of the multiple graded stakes winning mare trained by D. Wayne Lukas for owner Bob Spreen, the Great Lady M. goes at six furlongs. It is the first of nine races. Post time Sunday is 1 p.m.
Trained by Doug O'Neill for Suarez Racing Inc., Darin Tsukashima and Westside Rentals.com, Separate Forest finished sixth as the 2-1 favorite in her first start over Cushion Track in the Time To Leave Stakes May 1. This performance came on the heels of an upset of Unzip Me in the Las Cienegas Handicap, a Grade III, down the hillside turf course at Santa Anita.
Claimed for $25,000 by her current connections Jan. 14, the 4-year-old daughter of Forestry and the Sam M. mare Separata has subsequently won three of five. Overall, Separate Forest has four wins in 10 attempts and has earned $139,500.
Last in the Las Flores Handicap April 2 at Santa Anita in her most recent start, Broken Dreams returns to her preferred surface for owner-breeder Glen Hill Farm and trainer Tom Proctor.
A 5-year-old daughter of Broken Vow and the Storm Cat mare Our Dreamer, Broken Dreams has earned two of her three lifetime victories on grass. One of her turf wins came in her last appearance at Hollywood Park. The Florida bred won an optional claimer by 2 ¼ lengths at the Great Lady M. distance last Dec. 1.
A disappointing eighth of nine when favored in her United States debut Jan. 30 in the Wishing Well at Santa Anita, Givine has trained well locally for owner Marsha Naify and trainer Julio Canani.
The 4-year-old daughter of Blackdoun and the Double Bed mare Viguerie has won five of nine and earned $101,482. She drilled five furlongs in 59 1/5 over Cushion Track May 19, 11 days after working three-quarters of a mile in 1:13 4/5.
Ultra Awesome is stepping out of the claiming ranks in search of her first win on turf. The 5-year-old Awesome Again mare out of the Honour and Glory mare Ultravase has won eight of 26 and banked $115,100. She was claimed for $20,000 by trainer Carl O'Callaghan for Via Encanto Farms LLC Feb. 27.
In her lone start for O'Callaghan and Via Encanto, Ultra Awesome finished third April 14 on the main track at Santa Anita. In two previous outings on turf, the Kentucky bred finished sixth and fifth.
Supplemented at a cost of $1,400 to the Great Lady M., Lunar Mist has three wins in 12 starts and a bankroll of $99,106. She has one victory in five races since being claimed by trainer Eric Reed for owner Jerry Jamgotchian for $40,000 last Oct. 8 at Keeneland.
The win came when she was 18-1 in an optional claimer going 6 ½ furlongs on the turf at Santa Anita March 31. More recently, Lunar Mist finished seventh of 10 in the $100,000 Giant's Causeway over the Polytrack at Keeneland April 23.
From inside out, the field for the 17th Great Lady M.: Lunar Mist, Rafael Bejarano rides, 118 pounds; Givine, Joel Rosario, 116; Ultra Awesome, Christian Santiago Reyes, 116; Broken Dreams, Garrett Gomez, 116 and Separate Forest, Patrick Valenzuela, 122.

Opened on Jan. 7, the agency's Relationship Center will fill a role BFR Executive Director Maryland Guthas said stems from a need seen in the Pregnancy & Mentoring Center.
"It grew out of the need we saw with our clients next door," she said. "They came in for pregnancy-related services or the goods we offer next door. We do an intake form with them, and one of the intake forms has some questions about their childhood, etc., and, too, just working with them we saw they needed a whole lot more help than what we could do over there.
"After we uncovered emotional needs and dysfunction and generational cycles that were negative, we just saw the need for more."
Located at 20 Douglas St. in Cartersville, the Relationship Center offers free one-on-one peer counseling and support groups along with parenting education and marriage and pre-marriage coaching.
"We try to think of the things that we can help with for our community where there's no one else reaching out in a certain area," Relationship Center Director Cindy Smith said. "... The whole reason it's called relationships is, once a person is born and has life, it's all about relationships, first with your parents, with friends, with yourself. Life is about relationships. You think of any problems you have it's usually because of a relationship of some type. That's why Maryland and I and our board and a group of people said, 'You know, that's what we need — a relationship center.'"
Smith said the center addresses a wide range of needs within the community.
"We all need refueling. We all run out of gas and we can come to a relationship center and say, 'You know what? I just don't know what to do with my teenage son.' Or, 'I'm really burned out with parenting period.' Or, 'My husband just left me.' Or, 'I'm taking care of my mother and I have a 3-year-old' — the sandwiched person. Or, 'We're homeless; we just lost everything.' 'We just lost a baby.' 'We want a baby,'" she said.
While services are not professional, Guthas said the center's free services are provided by trained counselors.
"Last year, Cindy trained 14 women extensively — over 80 hours of training —in how to counsel someone one-on-one. They're our peer counselors — we call them advocate counselors — they walk alongside you in your time of need whatever that might be," she said. "They sign a waiver that says, 'This is not professional counseling.' We make it very clear that they are trained but they are not professional counselors."
Smith said Making Peace With Your Past, a 13-week course, is one of the most helpful sessions offered through the center.
"What's so good is, it's not just for people who want to deal with their past issues, but it's also for people who want to work with people," she said. "It's just a great tool to understand why people act the way they do. It's a win-win situation for anyone who takes it."
The faith-based agency will open its doors to the public Thursday during its Relationship Center open house. Dinner will begin at 6 p.m. at Tabernacle Baptist Church, 112 E.

Fabulous Invitations
Signature of Love Tri-fold Invitations I ordered these invitations on Ivory paper with a gold design and black text - Amazing!! It is very nerve wracking to order something without seeing it, however the sample online is an exact representation of what you are getting. Another concern was the weight of the paper and if it would be of high enough quality. Again, the perfect weight of what would be needed for a formal invitation. Everything came within 10days as promised. I am extremely pleased with both the save the date magnets and invitations ordered.

Truman Posted March 15, 2013 By Carah Ong This Day in History: LBJ Proposes Voting Rights Legislation Lyndon B. Johnson, Speech Before Congress on Voting Rights, March 15, 1965 On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress and called for new legislation to guarantee every American's right to vote. LBJ delivered the address on March 15 in response to events in Selma, Alabama that were the political and emotional peak of the civil rights movement. Just eight days earlier on March 7, 1965, also known as Bloody Sunday, some 600 civil rights demonstrators had set out to march from Selma. They were stopped after just six blocks and violently suppressed by state and local lawmen who attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas. In separate episodes around Selma, two demonstrators – a young black man and white minister – were also killed by white men. On March 9, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a "symbolic" march to the bridge where the march had been suppressed. Then, civil rights leaders sought court protection for a third march from Selma to Montgomery. Federal District Court Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. ruled: The law is clear that the right to petition one's government for the redress of grievances may be exercised in large groups … and these rights may be exercised by marching, even along public highways. On March 21, about 3,200 demonstrators set out for Montgomery and by the time they reached the capitol four days later, some 22,000 had joined them. In his speech on March 15, 1965, President Johnson referred to the significance of Selma: At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom. So it was at Lexington and Concord. So it was a century ago at Appomattox. So it was last week in Selma, Alabama. There is no Negro problem. There is no southern problem. There is no northern problem. There is only an American problem. Many of the issues of civil rights are very complex and most difficult. But about this there can and should be no argument. Every American citizen must have the right to vote...Yet the harsh fact is that in many places in this country men and women are kept from voting simply because they are Negroes... No law that we now have on the books...can insure the right to vote when local officials are determined to deny it... There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong--deadly wrong--to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights. Read more → Civil Rights This Day in History Tweet

Just got back from a hiking trip to Vermont and thought I'd share a few photos.
Went with an AMC group on an annual trip to Stowe, Vt. Two years ago, I met my wife on the same trip, and we thought we'd celebrate by going back this year with our 10 month old son.
The first hike was Camel's Hump on Saturday. We've done some small hikes locally (in NY's Shawangunks) and a number of day-hikes in the Catskills to both get us into shape and get our son accustomed to hiking. Thankfully, he seems to love being in the pack. Here he is in the pack and sitting on the survey marker at the summit:
On Sunday, we hiked a 9 mile route up Mt. Mansfield. Above the treeline and along most of the ridge, it was incredibly windy, I'd estimate gusts up to about 50mph, but on the summit, it was only slightly breezy. Here's the little guy, happy as can be, at the summit:
And on Monday morning, the trip leader has a tradition of hiking Mansfield again before breakfast. My wife slept in with the baby and I, along with 4 others, headed out at 4am. Shedding about 30lbs of baby and pack, the hike was a breeze, even that early and after 2 previous days of fairly strenuous hiking. We made the summit in 2 hours flat, and were greeted by a spectacular view. We we later learned it was caused by smoke from some forest fires in Canada. 360 degrees and to the horizon, it was like a ocean of mist below us with only the surrounding peaks showing through:
We got back to the inn just as the everyone else was getting ready for breakfast. It was an incredible trip all around - the hiking in general, taking our son up the mountains and having him enjoy it so much, and the amazing view Monday morning.

The event is coordinated through a partnership among the State YMCA of Georgia, the Cartersville Morning Optimist Club, Bartow County and the city of Cartersville.
"The purpose of Civic Youth Day is to give [students] a civic lesson in how our local government works, and the goal of this program is to try and encourage [students] to become more involved in our government and take an active interest in it ...," said Billy Neel of the Cartersville Morning Optimist Club. "We all here believe the strength of this community and this country all has to do with how much involvement we have from our people, and that's why we want to put on this program and that's why I'm so enthusiastic about it."
Following the morning shadowing session, a group of five students who shadowed the Cartersville mayor and county commissioner were each asked to speak during the annual Civic Youth Day luncheon on what they felt they needed to do in order to make the country a "better place for all people." Students spoke on topics ranging from having a stronger religious foundation to being kind to others.
For example, Cartersville High School's Aaron Moore spoke on citizens showing more respect for the military and military veterans.
"These men and women volunteered to lay their lives on the line no matter what the cost, just to protect us, and now, they have to sit on the sidelines and just watch as they lose their homes, their families and, in the worst cases, they lose their mental health," Moore said. "As a community, I know we can pull together and give these men and women something they deserve that they haven't had in a long time, and that's respect."
Moore said he plans to serve in the U.S. Army following graduation.
Bartow County does provide services to those who have suffered loss and are currently impoverished, including veterans. Ana Steiger, of Woodland High School, opted to shadow Vonna Artemis, director of Bartow County Indigent Care.
She said she wanted to see how the county helps those who are less fortunate.
"I just really wanted to understand how you help people in the community who don't have as much as normal, middle-class families do," Steiger said. "I learned that the people that work with the underprivileged help people who can't bury [family members] so they don't feel left out and can still properly bury someone they have lost."
Steiger said she enjoyed the shadowing experience and appreciated learning the inner workings of serving the less fortunate.
"I learned that truly underprivileged people really only get by with the help of the community and the county and all of these people," Steiger said.
Other students said they wanted another perspective on how community service entities aid a city when disaster strikes. Jared Meadows of Adairsville High School shadowed Solid Waste Director Rip Conner.
"I'm from Adairsville and after all the tornado problems I wanted to see how much damage was actually done there," Moore said. "I went with the solid waste director to the landfill where most of the damage from the tornado was stored, and there was over 1,500 tons of wreckage from the tornado, not counting the lumber from the trees that fell over ... I had seen it, but I didn't actually know how much damage had come from the tornado."
He said seeing a more comprehensive view of the amount of the Jan. 30 tornado's destruction made him recognize how service volunteers helped with the immediate needs of Adairsville.
"[Civic Youth Day] definitely had an impact on what I think about community service because natural disasters like that really do a lot of damage, but during the tornado, we had a lot of help getting things out of the road and all that. So it definitely made it seem like [the damage] wasn't as bad as it was," Moore said.

Family Mortgage Program The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Maricopa recently teamed with the City of Phoenix IDA to offer $ 30 million to first- time home-buyers. This initial offering is the first phase of a larger program, which will make more than $ 100 million available for people in the county over the next year. Under this program, qualifying individ-uals or families have been able to take advantage of 30- year fixed loans at a 5.59 percent interest rate. Or, borrow-ers have the opportunity to employ a 6.19 percent interest rate that includes 4 percent down payment/ closing cost assistance. This initial offering will pro-vide mortgages to more than 1,000 homeowners that may otherwise not be able to afford a home. These funds have been reserved to assist buyers with the acquisition and rehabilitation of houses needing repair, or families purchasing homes in targeted areas. Financing for these fully assumable loans is available on new or existing homes, condomini-ums, townhouses or manufactured homes on a first- come, first- serve basis. This offering is a great benefit for state employees, because many of our state employees fall within the income levels. Anyone interested in future bond offerings should contact the IDA for more information. To qualify for a home, annual household incomes must fall within a specified range, and applicants must not have owned a home for at least the last three years, unless the home is located in one of the IDA's " targeted areas."

Install a First-Flush Diverter
A first-flush diverter collects the rainy season's first rainfall off the roof, which is often the most polluted water. If you want to capture rainwater and store it in a cistern for reuse, it's important to filter out these contaminants. With a first-flush diverter, after the built-up sediments and organic materials are collected separately in a tank, the cleaner water can then flow into the cistern.
For more information about first-flush devices:
- Brad Lancaster's website has information about how to make, or purchase, and install a first-flush diverter.
Is this practice right for you?
Consult a professional if you're not sure. Also, see our web pages discussing maintenance issues, costs and other factors.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 19, 2012)—I'll Have Another, who is stabled at Betfair Hollywood Park, moved one step closer to the Triple Crown after a thrilling victory over Bodemeister, another Southern California-based 3-year-old, in the Preakness Stakes Saturday at Pimlico.
A Kentucky bred son of Flower Alley and the Arch mare Arch's Gal Edith, I'll Have Another followed his Kentucky Derby upset two weeks earlier at Churchill Downs with a narrow win as the 3-1 second choice.
Trained by Doug O'Neill, who has won 10 training titles at Betfair Hollywood Park, and owned by J. Paul Reddam, the sponsor of the Grade I CashCall Futurity which is run annually during the Autumn meet, I'll Have Another has won four in a row in 2012.
By virtue of his win in Maryland, I'll Have Another became the first horse to complete the Kentucky Derby-Preakness double since Big Brown in 2008.
Both I'll Have Another and Creative Cause, who finished third in the all California trifecta, were first out winners at Betfair Hollywood Park in 2011. I'll Have Another won last July 3, 13 days before Creative Cause debuted.
I'll Have Another will try to make history and become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 when he travels to Elmont, N.Y. for the Belmont Stakes June 9 at Belmont Park.

I am a layperson only recently exposed to the Austrian school of economics. I'm fascinated by it and I'm buying what you're selling. I do have a question:
I've read a few books by Murray Rothbard and he's critical of the fractional reserve banking system. What I do not understand: without fractional resreve banking, how can money be loaned and how could a bank possibly pay me interest? I certainly understand the risk of fractional reserve banking, especially when rerserve requirement is very low but I don't understand what the alternative is.
Thanks for your answer.
But - how do you loan the first dollar? i.e., if, as a bank, all my deposits must be backed, isn't 100% of my money not loanable?
This is an easy answer:
There are a bunch of ways to get money without making fractional reserve loans on deposits that users can claim immediately:
1. Most Common: Issue equity. That is you sell ownership in a bank, normally done through stock holders but can be done through a mutual system. In either case the investors are not contractually obligated to be paid the money back. Understand that if the bank makes more than the interest rates then the investors get more money paid back. There are many more insurance companies that use the mutual system and it has advantages.
2. Contract deposits now for money later. A certificate of deposit is an example. The agreement for higher interest rates means the depositor has limit access to their deposit unlike a checking account or passbook savings. This method includes selling long term bonds.
In all likelyhood there would arise, in a stateless society, two different kinds of institutions.
The first would be a true financial intermediary, who would facilitate the loaning of money. There profits would be the result of arbitrage. For example, person A comes to the bank offering them money for 5% per annum, they would then lend this money at a rate higher than that and (e.g. 6% per annum) and then pocket the difference as a profit.
The second would be more like a warehousing business with whom individuals would conduct a monetary irregular deposit contract. The bank would charge a sum of money in order to guard the gold (or whatever other commodity) and this is how they would make money.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"
Bob Dylan
dmuldoon:how do you loan the first dollar?
You have to get a depositor (or an investor) to allow you to do so. That's what a CD is for example. Remember you only need to maintain 100% backing for demand deposits.
The definitive work on this subject from an Austrin perspective is De Soto's book Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles. It's available online in pdf format here.
They will answer:
You can only lend out as much money as you have. So if a bank has X amount of $'s in deposits, it can only lend out X $'s.
So if it pays 3% in interest on deposits, and makes 5% on loans, it would in theory make profit.
I think I am going to sticky this thread, because this must've been asked at least a hundred times by now (not the OP's fault), so that it's readily available for future participants to see.
Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
Banks today perform two seperate functions.
These two activities are not neccesarily linked. What fractional reserve banks do is the monetary equivalent is renting out furniture left in a U-Store it.
I cannot see how fractional reserves would not arise. Too much benefit for potential banks and borrowers.
Benefit? Like the business cycle?
Becoming insolvent is very beneficial.
You know, banks would not have done it if it was not beneficial to them. And borrowers like more lending.
It was only beneficial because they had help, from the state.
I think you would see banks from time to time engage in fractional reserve banking. Although we might see deposits move to a more secure bank, it is in the interest for the bank to try to balance fractional reserves and the rate of withdraws - they fail, but they would still try.
They were not helped by the state. Only quite lately.

Pakistan, is a sovereign country in South Asia. With a population exceeding 180 million people, it is the sixth most populous country and with an area covering 796,095 km2 (307,374 sq mi), it is the 36th largest country in the world in terms of area. Located at the crossroads of the strategically important regions of South Asia, Central Asia and Western Asia, Pakistan has a 1,046-kilometre (650 mi) coastline along the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman in the south and is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west and north, Iran to the southwest and China in the far northeast. It is separated from Tajikistan by Afghanistan's narrow Wakhan Corridor in the north, and also shares a marine border with Oman.
The territory of modern Pakistan was home to several ancient cultures, including the Neolithic Mehrgarh and the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilisation. The territory has been the home to kingdoms ruled by people of different faiths and cultures, including Hindus, Persian, Indo-Greek, Islamic, Turco-Mongol, Afghan and Sikh. The area has been ruled by numerous empires and dynasties, including the Indian Mauryan Empire, the Persian Achaemenid Empire, Alexander the Great, the Arab Umayyad Caliphate, the Mongol Empire, the Mughal Empire, the Durrani Empire, the Sikh Empire and the British Empire. As a result of the Pakistan Movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and India's struggle for independence, Pakistan was independent in 1947 as an independent nation for Muslims from the regions in the east and west of India where there was a Muslim majority. Initially a dominion, Pakistan adopted a new constitution in 1956, becoming an Islamic republic. A civil war in 1971 resulted in the secession of East Pakistan as the new country of Bangladesh.
Pakistan is a federal parliamentary republic consisting of four provinces and four federal territories. It is an ethnically and linguistically diverse country, with a similar variation in its geography and wildlife. A regional and middle power, Pakistan has the fourth largest standing armed forces in the world and is also a nuclear power as well as a declared nuclear weapons state, being the only nation in the Muslim world, and the second in South Asia, to have that status. It has a semi-industrialised economy with a well-integrated agriculture sector, her economy is the 26th largest in the world in terms of purchasing power and 45th largest in terms of nominal GDP and is also characterized among the emerging and growth-leading economies of the world. Pakistan's post-independence history has been characterised by periods of military rule, political instability and conflicts with neighbouring India. The country continues to face challenging problems, including overpopulation, terrorism, poverty, illiteracy and corruption but regardless of that it ranks among the countries with most income equality while has among the worlds most happiest citizens. She also ranks among worlds most powerful countries. It is a founding member of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (now the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) and is a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the Next Eleven Economies, SAARC, ECO, UfC,D8, Cairns Group, Kyoto Protocol, ICCPR, RCD, Group of Eleven, CPFTA, Group of 24 and the G20 developing nations.
Private detectives and investigators in Pakistan find facts and analyze information about legal, financial, and personal matters. They offer many services, including verifying people's backgrounds, tracing missing persons, investigating computer crimes, and protecting celebrities. Private detectives and investigators work in a number of environments, depending on the case on which they are working. Some spend more time in their offices conducting computer searches and making phone calls, while others spend more time in the field conducting interviews and performing surveillance.
Detectives in Pakistan, are like police officers, who don't wear a uniform, nor drive patrol cars, nor patrol; instead, they spend much of their time compiling information and evidence for the cases they are assigned. They wear plain clothes, usually a suit and tie or casuals or depending upon the requirement at the time. Because private detective is a higher ranking and higher paid position than police officer, it requires more experience and knowledge and risk adaptability in any situations.
Performing general investigation, whereas some are specialized in certain types of crime. Special detectives focus on cases involving suspicious deaths. Once they rule a death is not by accident or suicide, but in fact a murder, they then proceed to delve further into the case and work until they either solve it or can go no further. They work closely with their respective units, which collects, analyzes, and reports the physical evidence, freeing up the detective's time to focus on suspects and witnesses.

The sound of this group is a combination of weathered performers, fancy compositions and a unified vision. Most of the musicians featured here write music, rehearse, manage and tour with thier own bands and their everyday activities also involve education. These people are experts at networking and, over the years, have built musical friendships which have blossomed into high profile outings, multiple CD releases, international collaborations and radio and television broadcasts. They are more than musicians, call them super-heroes.Under the musical direction of Nick Ramm, this project features music by Ramm, Ingrid Laubrock, Jonathan Bratoeff, Barak Schmool and Tom Arthurs. The line-up looks quite jazzy from a distance: a large brass section alongside a rhythm section forms the more conventional big band aspect of this ensemble. A closer look, however, reveals a bass clarinet, an extended percussion set-up, flute, two violins and, of course, female singers. The wonderful worldly voices of Heidi Vogel (The Cinematic Orchestra) and Marcina Arnold (Bheki Mseleku and English National Opera) will never leave you unsatisfied and feature in a big way. Vogel's voice emmits deep sultry tones while Arnolds's has urban, asian vibrations and skates skillfully in the upper range. Their last project was titled 'Tales From London'. The composers based their compositions on experiences they have had in their home town. F-IRE has always been identified closely with London, and this was an opportunity to put the inspiration and life of London directly back into the music. Whether about a journey on a night bus or a particular character, whether about traffic jams or the slowly developing urban horizon, the music, the words and the songs have, thus, been created. The composers here are all widely known for their own work: the sound of Laubrock's Nonet, Schmool's Samba orchestra, Ramm's Clown Revisited, Bratoeff's quartet releases and Arthurs' trio collaborations all mould into one colourful and high-energy suite of music. What more could you want than to hear london's 'most gifted' breathing life into this new set of tunes.
PressAbout the CMN Tour, F-IRE Large Ensemble 2005
"Creativity, originality, energy: defining characteristics that help to explain why the F-IRE Collective is being hailed as a new movement in British jazz. [...]On the evidence of this ambitious project it is not difficult to see why The F-IRE Collective are being widely heralded as a new and exciting British jazz movement. They are trying not to sound like anybody else and they are not afraid to flout the established jazz traditions. Their performances are high in energy, which more than compensates for any imperfections that such an ambitious project will inevitably throw up. The individual personalities of each member come across both visually and audibly when they perform. Thanks to the F-IRE Collective British jazz now has a fresh and exciting image for this decade, and one that has already begun to break through into the popular music market. I see no reason why these musicians should not continue to define and redefine the image British jazz for some time to come."Jonathan Cox, The Write Stuff, F-ire Collective, Oct 24, QEH.
"The F-IRE Collective has enough talent not to walk in anyone's shadow."Clive Davis at Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Times 27/10/2005

"Hope's new CD is distinctively airy . . . This music has variety, spirit and vitality . . . Hope isn't only an outstanding violinist – he's also a musical storyteller. Well worth hearing."
Die Zeit (Hamburg), 11 November 2009 (CD review Air)
Daniel Hope was born in Durban in 1974. When he was six months old, his father, the distinguished novelist, poet and anti-apartheid activist Christopher Hope, was finally granted an exit visa. The family went first to Paris, then to London, where Daniel's mother Eleanor was engaged by Yehudi Menuhin to be his secretary, later becoming the celebrated violinist and conductor's long-time manager. In 1978 Hope began to study the violin in London with Sheila Nelson. Six years later he commenced his studies at the Royal College of Music with Itzhak Rashkovsky, Felix Andrievsky and Grigory Zhislin and appeared on British television. In 1985 he was invited by Menuhin to perform the Bartók Duos for German television, which began a long association between the two violinists that included over 60 concerts. From 1992–1998 he was a pupil of Zakhar Bron at London's Royal Academy of Music, from which he graduated. Daniel Hope has appeared all over the globe with the world's most renowned orchestras and conductors and has won numerous prizes for his recordings such as five Echo Awards, the Classical Brit Award, Deutscher Schallplattenpreis andnumerous Grammy® nominations.


text: 1 Item View: 12 / 24 / 48 Great reactor, too small pump By Paul on 11/14/2013 Paul would recommend this product to a friend This reactor works great at tumbling bio pellets, but the pump provided is way underpowered to move the pellets for the size of the reactor. I had a spare Rio pump that's one or two steps up from the one included and with it, the pellets are moving and rotating the way they should be. Also, the pump included sounded like it was grinding rocks at the same time. Other than the pump, it's the perfect low cost media reactor that's small, uses very little power, and doesn't cost a fortune.
