Please note that doctoral students are expected to graduate within 4 years of enrolment to the programme.
To apply for the postgraduate studies:
- Obtaining a study right in the Doctoral Programme in Chemistry can be done by applying for doctoral studies during the general application period (1-2 times yearly, call for admission announced on the faculty's webpage) or by applying for open vacancies for doctoral students (open vacancies announced on the university's main page).
- The applicants are expected to be in contact with the research group of interest in the department. The main supervisor must be from the University of Jyväskylä (see more information here). Included with an application need to be a plan for the doctoral studies, a research plan, a follow-up group and a realistic plan for financing the research - made together with the supervisor. Additionally, if the degree has not been awarded by the University of Jyväskylä, a copy of master's degree certificate and transcript of records for the previous degree(s)."
- Return the application to Sari Eronen. (Further info by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com)
- The application form will be signed by the head of the department after consulting the steering board of the doctoral programme.
- The acceptance will be decided by the Faculty of Mathematics and Science (based on the recommendation of the Doctoral Programme).
Selection process
Applications for admission to doctoral studies are dealt with by the board of the doctoral programme. The board of the doctoral programme evaluates applicants and makes its recommendation regarding admission on the basis of application documents. The board may, however, interview the applicant and/or supervisor if need be. After the Head of the Department has signed the statement from the Department, the Faculty of Mathematics and Science decides about the right to pursue doctoral studies.

You Are Invited
Stewardship at Epiphany
You may be wondering just what "You Are Invited" is all about. And your next thought may be "What, pray tell, does it have to do with stewardship?" And no, it's not 'You are invited to give us your money." (We know some of your minds went there.)
But seriously, your stewardship committee wants to invite you to explore what stewardship means to all of us at Epiphany. This blog is a place where we hope to encourage that conversation. We have articles from various Epiphanites (some which you may have read in the Star and other new ones). Every post has a place for comments and you should feel free to join in the conversations if you would like. You can reach the articles on our blog page in the navigation bar at the top, and we hope you will take a few minutes to see what other epiphany family members are thinking about being stewards.
In addition to thoughtful conversation, we also want to remind all of us about the activities around us every day that are truly examples of the "stewards" among us. Every single thing that each of us does in service of Epiphany is an example of our commitment to stewardship. We have a tendancy to take it for granted, so we thought it might be a good idea to highlight those things. Each month we will select a particular aspect of Epiphany life and give you bunches of information about all of the things they do. More is coming on those activities.
So make sure you follow this blog throughout the year. We are excited about this stewardship journey.

GAO, MALI, July 18 (ChinaMil) -- The fifth Chinese peacekeeping guard detachment to Mali held a live-fire tactical training exercise codenamed "Operation Oasis" in mid July.
The exercise was carried out in three phase of long-distance maneuver, firepower support and covered retreat against the background of "the guarded convoy being attacked by unidentified armed groups".
During the drill, five kinds of weapons including the antiaircraft machine guns for infantry fighting vehicles (IFV), heavy machine guns and sniper rifles were used with six types of shells fired including the armor-piercing shell, red phosphorus shell and conventional ammunitions.
Since the fifth Chinese peacekeeping force to Mali was in place in late May, the security situation in the Gao mission area has kept worsening, and the Headquarters of the Eastern Sector of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has issued three car bomb attack warnings. The city proper of Gao has witnessed two large-scale demonstrations with UN vehicles being blocked and besieged by the protesting crowds.
In light of the worsening security situation in Gao, the Chinese peacekeeping guard detachment has raised the security level and set up the 24-hour standby mechanism to ensure fast response to any emergencies.

Types of mobile applications and Which one you should choose?by Deepak Bhardwaj Digital Marketing Expert
In the world of mobile application development, you can often hear terms such as native applications or web applications, and even hybrid applications.
What is the difference?
Native Applications
Native applications live on the device and are accessed through icons on the main screen or in the applications menu by mobile app Development Company in New York. Native applications are installed through the application store (Google Play or the App Store).
They can also incorporate gestures (specific movements on the screen that generate a certain action in the application).
In addition, native applications can use the device notification system and can work without an internet connection.
Web applications
Web applications are in facts the sites that behave like the native applications, but are not put into practice in such a way. They are executed through a browser and are commonly written in HTML5 by mobile app Development Company in New York.
Users access them in the same way that they would access a web page: they navigate to a special URL and have the possibility to add them to their main screen by creating a direct access to the page.
Web applications became popular when HTML5 was launched. Web developers thought they could get the functionality of a native application from the web browser of mobile devices. Nowadays, as more and more sites use HTML5, the distinction between web applications and web pages becomes more confusing.
Hybrid applications
Hybrid applications are a combination of native application and web application. And, because of that, many people mistakenly refer to them as web applications.
As in native applications, hybrid applications are downloaded from the application store and can take advantage of many of the capabilities of the mobile device in which they are installed.
Also, as in web applications, hybrid applications depend on the HTML being read by a web browser, but with the difference that the browser is inserted inside the application.
Frequently, app Creation Company builds hybrid applications as a wrapper for an existing website. In this way, they hope to have a presence in the app store, without investing a significant effort in developing a different application.
Hybrid applications are also popular because they allow cross-platform development and that significantly reduces development costs. How is this achieved? The same HTML code can be reused in different mobile operating systems by app Creation Company.

Roots of Revival
Article About:
When Iowans think of Bob Vander Plaats, they often think of politics. It's only natural: He ran for governor or lieutenant governor three times between 2002 and 2010. He led the 2010 voter effort that ousted the three activist judges who overturned the state's Defense of Marriage Act. He's arguably the most prominent and influential social conservative in the Hawkeye state.
So when a group headed by Vander Plaats—The FAMiLY LEADER, the state family policy council that's associated with Focus on the Family and CitizenLink—started hosting an annual Family Leadership Summit in 2012, with multiple actual or potential candidates for high office speaking to a thousand-plus people in a sold-out venue, it was only natural that both the press and the public saw it primarily through the lens of politics: Which current or former political figures were there. Which ones weren't. Which ones went over well with the audience. Which ones, didn't.
But people who've been at these events will tell you most of the press, and much of the public, have been missing the main story.
Yes, politics play an important part there. Not the most important, however: Prayer and biblical messages play much larger roles.
"All of our Leadership Summits are threaded primarily with biblical worldview," Vander Plaats tells Citizen. "They're about the sharing of the Gospel—God's heart, His principles, how that blesses a culture—much more than they're about, 'Hey, let's win the next election.' "
In fact, the Family Leadership Summit has given birth to a separate, fast-growing prayer movement aimed at nothing less than national spiritual revival. That movement, known as the If 7:14 Initiative, takes its name from 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Vander Plaats believes that. So much so that he's opted out of a promising campaign for the U.S. Senate—despite being the number-one contender in the polls—to devote more of his energies to revival.
The Big 'If'
Two years ago, no one saw this movement coming.
"We had these all-important elections coming up, and our base was not inspired by the leadership choices that we had," says Vander Plaats. "So we thought, 'Why not get them together? Let's inspire them. Let's do it with a biblical worldview, and then apply that to (political) leadership.' "
So on Aug. 11, 2012, the first Family Leadership Summit in Waukee, Iowa, brought in the big guns. Political leaders like Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. Religious leaders like author Joel Rosenberg and Vision America co-chairman Laurence White. A dozen speakers in all. And an unexpected theme developed.
"No one knew ahead of time what the others were going to speak on," Vander Plaats says. "But it was like the speeches were coordinated, like they were ordained. Speaker after speaker talked about the need to turn our hearts back to God, His principles, His precepts. They kept using terms like 'revival' and 'a great awakening.' "
Rosenberg, especially, made an impression on Vander Plaats and his team.
"He was saying, 'Can we survive the current fiscal implosion? Can we survive the current moral implosion?' And his answer to that was he didn't know—except that if we would authentically apply 2 Chronicles 7:14 to our lives, our marriages, our families, our churches, that hopefully the ripple effect would save the country."
Dave Kutscher, a FAMiLY LEADER board member, says that sparked a discussion of the verse among the staff—and a shared conviction that they had to act on what they'd heard.
"Bob said, 'What's the key word?' My wife spoke up and said, 'if.' Everyone in the meeting immediately picked up on that," Kutscher tells Citizen.
"That two-letter word might be the most powerful little word in all human language," Vander Plaats adds. "It transfers weight and responsibility. If we pray. If we humble ourselves. If we turn our hearts to Him."
The team had no way of knowing if their discussion that day would be something just a few of them would be part of, something bigger, Kutscher says.
It got bigger. A lot bigger.
Spreading the Word
The FAMiLY LEADER's campaign to spark revival started with a book and a call to action.
The book, written by Vander Plaats, was If 7:14: An Urgent Call for Revival … It's Time (The FAMiLY LEADER, 2013) exploring each phrase in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and applying it to life today. The call to action, for readers and everyone else they could reach, was to pray every day at 7:14 a.m. and 7:14 p.m.— for personal revival, revival in their marriages, their families, their churches, communities, nation and world.
"We wanted people to set their clocks," Vander Plaats says, "not to be legalistic about our prayers, but to be mindful about our prayers."
Lots of people write books, and lots of people issue calls to action. Most, however, don't get the response Vander Plaats did.
When his book appeared last November, a member of the National Prayer Committee read it, loved it, and invited Vander Plaats to discuss it with the group.
One invitation led to another—Bott Radio, National Religious Broadcasters, Life Action Ministries. Then, while backstage at Huckabee's FOX News show, Vander Plaats met the popular Christian rock group the Newsboys, and found even greater opportunities to spread the message.
"They saw my segment (of the show) and said they believed their song and movie God's Not Dead and If 7:14 all needed to come together.
"That was on May 3 (2014). By July 13, they were performing at the first If 7:14 Call and packing a theater in Iowa."
That event, held at the Adler Theater in Davenport, drew more than 2,000 people to a call for revival. And the Newsboys weren't the only prominent figures joining area ministry leaders on stage.
"Chuck Norris and his wife heard about what we were doing," Vander Plaats says. "They emailed me and asked if it'd be OK if they showed up and shared their testimony—about all the fame, all the fortune Chuck had, and how there was still an emptiness in his life until he found Jesus Christ."
The next day, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad joined in, proclaiming a day of prayer, fasting and repentance based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. Such calls to prayer, Branstad noted, have a long history in this country, having been issued by the likes of George Washington, John Hancock, Samuel Adams and Abraham Lincoln.
"Our goal now is to get all the states doing this," Vander Plaats says. "It's what we did for a long time. The Founders talked about the law of nature and nature's God. That's our unifying principle."
'Nothing Else Will Do'
Today, Vander Plaats is focusing on If 7:14 as well as the ongoing policy work of The FAMiLY LEADER. But he might have chosen a different path.
Last year, Iowa's longtime liberal senator Tom Harkin announced he would not seek re-election when his current term expires in January 2015. As of early this year, polling showed Vander Plaats was a heavy favorite for the Republican nomination if he chose to run—and his own research indicated he stood a strong chance of winning the seat in November.
He thought about it. Seriously. He came, he says, "very, very close" to running.
But in February, he announced he wouldn't.
"If you would have said four years ago, 'Bob, there's an open U.S. Senate seat; you're leading the primary field of candidates in the polls; national and statewide people are coming to you to bring the resources to win,' that would have been pretty hard for me to turn down," he says.
Now, however, he thinks the work he's doing impacting the culture is his current calling.
"Who we elect to public office is of high importance, but I believe right now that's like the Dutch boy putting his finger in the dyke," he tells Citizen. "You need to have someone to put their finger in the dyke to halt the flood, but (ultimately) the dyke needs to be rebuilt.
"God has laid on my heart the whole If 7:14 Initiative, spurring God's people on to revival, bringing light into a dark world. Maybe a political run is in my future, but not at this time. God has opened up too many doors to this effort, blessing it beyond what we could ever have imagined."
Cheryl Wells, co-founder of Side by Side Ministry in Le Mars, Iowa, isn't surprised by Vander Plaats' priorities.
"I've been connected with Bob in ministry for about 10 years," she tells Citizen. "He's a man of integrity. He's very dynamic in how he leads, and people just naturally follow him."
When Wells read Vander Plaats' manuscript for If 7:14, she and her prayer network began praying not only for the book's success, but for a national spiritual rebirth.
"Bob's said it so many times: 'This is not about me. This is not about the book. We need revival. It's time.' And he's right. It's so obvious how much we need it."
Wells sees it starting to happen, both nationally and close to home.
"God is doing beautiful things in our little community of Le Mars," she says. "We feel that revival is here—that we're carrying a piece of revival here in the middle of the country. We have young people from 16 to 26 who are so on fire for the Lord. We have kids in that age group right now that will change things. They're passionate about Christ. We're experiencing that here and we pray it continues."
Vander Plaats sees the same signs, and not only in response to If 7:14. He rattles off the names of other prayer and revival efforts—Anne Graham Lotz's 777 Initiative, Life Action Ministries' OneCry Initiative—and speaks enthusiastically about the response they're getting as well.
"I see seeds of revival all around the country where the focus is on restoring our lives to God," he says. "Because we've come to the point where we can see that nothing else will do."

Sidebar: 'There's a Better Way to Do Things'
If you'd told Bob Vander Plaats 20 years ago that he'd end up working in public policy, he'd have wondered what you were talking about.
"I never envisioned this as being part of my life plan," he says. "I was a high school teacher, a basketball coach, a principal."
Then came Lucas.
The third of Vander Plaats' four sons was born with rare, severe disabilities. Unable to speak or walk, with a compromised immune system and a susceptibility to seizures, Lucas—now 21—has had multiples brushes with death.
That began a personal and professional journey, chronicled by Vander Plaats in his 2007 book Light from Lucas: Lesson in Faith From a Fragile Life (Tyndale, 2007). He assumed leadership of a company, Opportunities Unlimited, providing rehabilitative services for young adults with brain or spinal cord injuries or other life-altering disabilities.
That, in turn, led the governor to appoint Vander Plaats to chair a council aimed at helping the disabled. His assignment was to show the state "what would be the best way to do it—what would be philosophically right and economically smart," he says.
Easier said than done.
"I found out quickly that government needed leadership from the outside, not the inside," Vander Plaats says. "There's a better way to do things, but (many public officials) were caught within paradigms that limited their thinking."
That's what got Vander Plaats interested in public policy—and, after his campaigns for office, to become president and CEO of The FAMiLY LEADER.
While he's well aware of the limits of government, he also knows its importance—and he knows it not only from his experience, but from his faith.
"Government is one of God's institutions, along with the church and the family," he says. "We can't wash our hands of it and have nothing to do with it.
"It's a high call of God. It's also a mission field. We should be raising up men and women of deep faith who are mature enough that they can stand under the bright lights and the high scrutiny and defend the faith in that realm."

Carranger: A Tribute to Hirohisa Soda's Era of Sentai?
While watching Carranger, I cannot help but notice how Hirohisa Soda was not only writing some episodes but also, the whole series throws back to not just Turboranger but some things from Soda's era. I previously wrote about Megaranger as a throwback to Hirohisa Soda's era, Carranger did also do it in some ways too.
Like Turboranger, Carranger has the whole mixing of Turboranger's concept of automobiles and magic. In this series, the Carranger gets their magic from Car Magic which is brought by the Hazardian, Dappu who uses the Car Magic to battle an incoming evil. Doesn't that remind you how Turboranger uses cars and magic in their battle but it wasn't so explored back then? Although you have to realize that Carranger uses alien technology like the mecha in Bioman, Changeman and Flashman though I have pretty much missed other series right?
Carranger for me had at least two characters that reminded me of Soda's era. The first would be my favorite ranger, Kyousuke Jinnai who like Riki Honoo tends to be the "law of chromatic superiority" as they are badass red rangers.. that is while Riki battled Ragorn one on one, Kyousuke defeated a Bowzock gang member out of suit. The other would be the fiercely independent Natsumi Kinohara who like Mika Koizumi, wears red a lot, she tends to act on her own and she feels like she is a season long Mika (considering Mika didn't last long no thanks to Yuki Yajima's sudden disappearance) herself especially how she tends to oppose Kyousuke at times. Good thing that the actress Yuta Motohashi didn't have any problems like Yuki Yajima did.
The Zokurangers were a short-lived evil Sentai. Their leader was immediately defeated in that episode but, you can't deny how Soda's era had the Beastnoids, the Alien Hunters and the Gingamen (not the Sentai but the evil comedic Sentai in Fiveman) right?
Midseason, we have the Victory Trailer which brought the components of the VRV Robo into battle. Turboranger got rid of the transportation mecha, Carranger brought it back momentarily which was also later done in Gingaman (with the existence of Ginga Bitus which also arrived midseason). The Victory Trailer also stood upright in robot mode but didn't participate much in battle, except to give its cannons to the VRV Robo to perform the Victory Twister. In the finale, it flew back into space with VRV Master and Dappu like how the Shuttlebase and Bio Dragon left the Earth in the finale.
Again back in the 80s, you ave the red ranger falling for the enemy. Doesn't that remind you of Takeru's relationship with Ial in Maskman? Sorry for the forced comparison but... it's similar in that way except here, it's a comedy. If you want a few similarities between Red Racer/Zonette to Red Mask/Ial, you might notice that later, Zonette still has Kyousuke in her heart even if they supposedly broke up.
The appearance of Biker Lord Exhaus as the main villain behind everything might remind some of Vulgyre in Fiveman (though Fiveman's was rushed) or the way he rules over Baribarin is like how Vulgyre (under Meadow persona) ruled over Zone or how Bazoo ruled over the Gozma Starship. In the finale, like Ragorn in Turboranger, he absorbs all the evil energy around to return to the battle and even defeated the mecha. What was also later discovered is that while Vulgyre was weak to the Sidon flowers, Bazoo was weak to the Memory Doll, Ragorn was weak to fairy magic... well Exhaus was really weak to expired imo youkan.

price of Coal and Ash Handling System Processing Plant and manufacturer for Sale
price of Coal and Ash Handling System Processing Plant and manufacturer for Sale
Coal and Ash Handling System Introduction
Much less than 1 percent from the nation's coal-fired plant are equipped with dry bottom ash systems presently. Coal-fired power plants have 3 alternatives for the disposal of coal ash. Dry ash can be disposed in landfills (these days greater than 30 percent), stored in ponds (app. 20 %) and yet another 40 % are presently recycled and utilised within a wide range of industrial applications. Power producers using ponds to shop coal ash have essential choices to make. They've numerous possibilities and options to choose from as they prepare to comply with stricter federal regulation. Exactly the same trends are becoming apparent in Europe, CIS and Asia with clients worldwide. Coal-fired power plants are increasingly trying to find eco-friendly options. The ever growing drive to conserve water and stricter land usage regulations facilitates a move to dry ash handling. Additionally, moving to dry ash handling increases the value of bottom ash permitting less difficult sales towards the cement and developing industries, decrease lifecycle expenses and increase efficiency might be accomplished.
Coal and Ash Handling System Processing Plant for Sale
Coal Crushers for Sale
Coal crushers are sold under license from Pennsylvania Crusher Corporation. Coal crushers have undergone various important improvements. Whilst retaining the original concept of a machine which sizes run-of-mine coal and removes debris at the same time. The ability of the granulator to continue operating reliably for decades has been the primary reason for its wide adoption in the international mining industry. Coal crushers and other impact crushers have played an important role in power generation, coal mining, cement production, chemical processing and other basic industries. While it has found acceptance across the world in coal preparation plants and mineral processing industries, with the development of larger size machines, this technology is also gaining increasing application in the wider mining industry. Coal flows through the feed opening directly into the path of the ring hammers. These hammers break the coal through impact and drive it against the breaker plate where further reduction occurs. Final sizing occurs by rolling compression of the ring hammers as coal passes over the screen plate. All reduction is performed in one pass.
Coal Mill for Sale
Coal grind mills include: Coal ball mill, coal Raymond mill, medium-speed T-mill, coal super thin grinding, coal vertical mill and so on. They can grind materials based on the end-use of materials. These devices can also be used for grinding and processing of gold, copper, silver, manganese, marble, granite. These energy efficient equipment is very popular.

Hilary Duff's New Single Could Sound Like Anything From One Direction to Britney Spears — LISTEN
If you're not a big fan of Hilary Duff's comeback song, "Chasing the Sun," you're in luck — the singer might be preparing to release a new single already! On Thursday, Duff tweeted well-known pop music makers Carl Falk, Savan Kotecha, and Kristian Lundin and said, "Can't wait for everyone to hear our little secret..." Oooh, how cheeky! "Chasing the Sun" hasn't exactly exploded onto the charts, but it would be kind of strange for Duff to give up on it so soon. I mean, she just released the music video!
As I suspected, "Chasing the Sun" turned out to be a little dull for my taste, but it's not a bad song — it's just not the song I wanted Duff to make her triumphant musical return with. To be honest, I wouldn't be opposed to Duff quickly following it up with something a little more radio-friendly. After all, Falk, Kotecha, and Lundin are a pretty impressive songwriting and production team.
Falk is probably best known for his music with One Direction; Kotecha has worked with Christina Aguilera and he contributed to Ariana Grande's recent singles "Problem," "Break Free," and "Bang Bang"; and Lundin has crafted songs in the past for the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and even Britney Spears. Yeah, these guys definitely know their way around a pop song.
Based on some of these musicians' past work, what do you think we can expect Duff's mysterious new song to sound like? Let's see...
One Direction — "Heart Attack" (Falk, Kotecha, Lundin)
Probably my favorite song on One Direction's Take Me Home album...though "Kiss You" is definitely a close second.
One Direction — "Happily" (Falk, Kotecha, Lundin)
"Happily" has a folksy, stompin' beat that I could definitely see working with Duff's adult contemporary musical direction.
Nicki Minaj — "Starships" (Falk)
No, I don't think that Duff's new song is going to involve any rapping, but those summery guitars that open "Starships"? Totally possible.
Demi Lovato — "Really Don't Care" (Falk, Kotecha)
Lovato isn't a teen anymore, but that hasn't stopped her from making some really impeccable teen pop! I could totally imagine Duff singing a song like "Really Don't Care."
Christina Aguilera — "Your Body" (Kotecha)
Err, "Your Body" is probably too overtly sexual for Duff (the demo version of the song features the lyrics, "All I wanna do is fuck your body"), but you neeever know! She is a grown woman now.
Britney Spears — "Born to Make You Happy" (Lundin)
Yeah, "Born to Make You Happy" sounds too dated to work on the radio today, but it does show you the kind of "earworm" chorus Lundin is capable of creating.
Backstreet Boys — "I Want It That Way" (Lundin)
We're all in agreement that this is the Backstreet Boys' best song ever, right? Okay, just checking.
Hopefully we'll get some more details on Duff's "little secret" very soon!

We have a great Thanksgiving planned. My sister and her family are coming (4 kids) along with my Dad and stepmother. We will have a houseful, but I think I have planned well. I spent a ridiculous amount of money on groceries. B took off 5 days from work to help me deep clean the whole house last week. He worked for a day and a half in the garage alone. We got rid of so much stuff, and organized, organized, organized. I cleaned everything I could possibly think of to clean. I should get everything finished just in time for my sister to arrive tomorrow evening. B. went and bought a cast iron chiminea from Lowe's tonight. He has plans for the seven children. These cousins always have so much fun when they get together--which is only 3 times a year-- and I know they will have a good time roasting marshmallows and telling stories in front of the fire. I also bought Ratatouille (the movie) so that the kids would have something new to watch--rain is in the forecast. They will all be here for several days, so we have to have some things planned to entertain. I'm sure the 4-wheeler will be out too. We bought it from my dad, and he always likes to get it out and ride when he comes to visit. He will have a blast taking each of the seven grandchildren for rides. Too bad the other three grandchildren can't be here. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving--don't stuff yourselves too badly. I leave you with our Thanksgiving menu--it's the same every year. I would love to hear yours.

Daddy's a proud papa:I had more pictures to post, but blogger suddenly decided to get stubborn on me. Anyway, they are out skinning it right now and getting ready to take it to the butcher. And let me just say I am a very proud momma, even though I'm not the hunting type of person. My son's smile went from ear to ear. My son also has a terrific daddy, who just happened to have a migraine all afternoon while they were out. (Thanks to everyone who has been checking on me--I'm fine, and I appreciate your concern!

Harrison N.J. – It was late Tuesday night in the depths of Red Bull Arena where the New York Red Bulls had defeated Club Tijuana 3-1 on the night and 5-1 overall to advance to the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time.
The coaches from both clubs had spoken to the press and with the cold night drawing to a close, media members were crammed into the hallway outside the Red Bulls locker room, separated by the stadium version of a velvet rope from New York Red Bulls all-time leading goal scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips. BWP had sparked the home team to victory with three assists on the night, after netting twice in the first leg but now the talk turned to Tyler Adams.
Adams, a 19-year-old midfielder who has already made his full USMNT debut, scored the Red Bulls first goal of the night, the equalizer that sparked the Red Bulls back to life after Tijuana had threatened to run his team off the pitch in the opening half hour.
Wright-Phillips had made that goal happen, picking up the second assist when he led a slow motion, full field counter attack before teeing up Michael Murillo, who laid on the final ball to the indefatigable Adams.
Wright-Phillips was asked about Adams and his impact on the game. "Credit to Tyler, he plays like a man," Wright-Phillips noted, adding that he hasn't been surprised by the teenager's personality. "Not now," said BWP. "The first training session he had had it, ever since then he hasn't looked back. He's not afraid to tell someone, even the coach, or me, or Luis (Robles) what he thinks and he doesn't just talk, he's out there pulling his weight too. He's a big player for us."
In a post-game soliloquy, Marsch had heaped praise on the Wappingers Falls, New York native. "A couple of guys, you could see were grabbing the team by the scruff of the neck a little bit and saying – All right, let's keep moving- and one of the things that's always a source of pride is when that guy is Tyler."
The coach said of Adams that "his fearlessness and his way of going after games and of being up for big moments is something that makes our team good."
When I spoke to Adams in late February at the club's Media Day at Red Bull Arena the "fearlessness" that Marsch spoke of was on display when I asked Adams if he was ok with being tagged as the poster boy of the Play your kids movement.
Adams never flinched. "Yeah, I would say so. Of course, it's important, giving the young kids an opportunity, one way or another will prove what they're capable of." "I think that for me," Adams said then, "it came at a young age. I think that Jesse put some big goals in front of me and I was able to reach them." "This year I'm looking to exceed those goals," the ambitious youngster said.
So, for Adams the role model, em role, is a comfortable fit. "If you want to consider me the poster boy of having young kids play, I think that it's definitely an influential role for a lot of young guys that you know, there's inspiration. There's guys that are doing it. There's guys that were even before me, like Kellyn Acosta, who was playing at such a young age."
But back to Tuesday night and Bradley Wright-Phillips who was asked if he had ever seen a young player with that attitude. In England, perhaps?
Wright-Phillips thought for a moment before answering, "Gareth Bale." "I saw a similar attitude," BWP said of his former teammate at Southampton before catching himself. "Don't get me wrong," the veteran striker warned the press stragglers, "I know you guys like to twist things," he said to a chorus of laughter. "I'm not saying they're the same player, or that he's going to have the same career as him but they both have a mentality where they know what they're good at and you know, they're not afraid when they step out on the field."
Then BWP was off, but not before the night ended with one last moment of levity as Wright-Phillips turned back to jokingly admonish the media types when he heard one wit comment, "we have our headline now."

1978, 16mm, sepia/sound, 5min.
"VALSE TRISTE is frankly and gracefully autobiographical of Conner's Kansas boyhood. Here, the period of the 1940s of his source materials parallels his own life experiences." A line of dark, wet cars file across a flooded road; a man and a boy ceremoniously burn leaves; a businessman at his desk turns to look over his shoulder to the photo of a locomotive on the wall behind him; a medium shot of an engineer in the cab of his locomotive; a shard of rock shears from a quarry wall and plunges into water ..."
– Anthony Reveaux
Nostalgic recreation of dreamland Kansas 1947 in Toto. Theme music from I Love a Mystery radio programs (Jack, Doc, and Reggie confront the enigmatic lines of railroad trains, sheep, black cars, women exercising in an open field, grandma at the farm ...) Meanwhile, a 13-year-old boy confronts reality. Sibelius grows old in Finland and becomes a national monument.
In his most autobiographical film, Conner re-creates his childhood Kansas of the 1940s as a dreamland, accompanied by the theme music from the radio program I Love a Mystery. This nostalgic work takes the viewer to a distant place, lost in time, where dark limousines file across a flooded road and a man and a boy burn leaves. Other sepia-toned sequences and images include a businessman at his desk and a photograph of a locomotive. Once again, no narrative emerges from the associative imaginary of this dreamer's "valse triste."
Films by Bruce Conner are currently on view in SFMOMA's galleries as part of Bruce Conner: It's All True, including works shown in their original celluloid format—16mm film—as well as two works that have recently been digitally restored. As an extension of the exhibition, which continues through January 22, 2017, we have created an additional screening venue here. The four films selected for presentation include TEN SECOND FILM (1965), an homage to Conner's fascination with the trailer, AMERICA IS WAITING (1981), an example of Conner's aesthetic of appropriation, and two works that are closer to what we might imagine to be "home movies" meditating on Conner's upbringing in Kansas in the years before and after World War II: TAKE THE 5:10 TO DREAMLAND (1977) and VALSE TRISTE (1978).
During my two-week stretch at Alice Tully Hall I found but one first-rate new film to cling to, all 300 seconds of it: Bruce Conner's Valse Triste (★★★★four star).
VALSE TRISTE is a homage to surrealist cinema and a belated trance-film (the psychodramas of Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger and Sidney Peterson date from the 1940's, the time of Conner's adolescence and this film's footage). It also reworks the debased popular "dream sequence", principally by imitating one of its cliché-prone situations – a boy's dream about steam engines, daily chores, home travel and girls. Shorn of context, ordinary images keep their typicality but gain uniqueness, mystery and the aura of memory; a paperboy cycles down a street, a couple in overcoats enter a taxi, cars crawl down long roads, a man and a boy build a bonfire, a family pose by their farm. This material is renewed, or redeemed, by stripping it of sentimentality and information.

Back from Kalbarri
Finally back from Kalbarri after a great holiday of swimming, boating and fishing. I didn't get much photography done as my Polarizer disappeared after i took this shot but i got a lot of night photography done. Ill post some more stuff later.
It's time to get back into school so i might get a bit slack on photography for a while. Instead i might try to get some more local shots sold and buy some new gear.
Any news i missed over the holidays?

I know that schools are pushing for more technology use and one of those ways is through student response systems, "clickers" that students can key in their responses and get instant feedback. The positive is that teachers can assess the entire class at once instead of just the one or two students that get called on per question. The negatives are the cost and, closely related, the proprietary nature of the devices. (You have to use that company's clickers on their software.)
Socrative gets around that. This is perfect for the computer lab or a mobile lab. The teacher creates a classroom and a quiz. Socrative generates the room number. Students then go to Socrative and type in the room number. They type in their name and then are presented with the quiz.
I did my test run with a laptop and my phone, with the laptop being the teacher station. My phone showed a message that said it was waiting on the teacher. Once I was ready on the laptop, it automatically updated on my phone and I answered the sample question. The teacher station then saw what I got and started a grade report. Students don't see how their classmates scored, which is good. They are able to see if they got the right answer if you set up the quiz to do that. There is also a game mode called Space Race where they are divided into two teams and their right answers fuel their rockets. It's not a huge motivator, but it still beats a worksheet.
What is great is that the reports export to Excel. There is also a quiz creation template in Excel that you can import so that you can make a backup copy and not have to rely solely on an online copy. The fact that it's free definitely helps.
With more school districts moving towards a "bring your own teachnology" policy for portable devices, I see a lot of potential for this.

Now she speaks to her inspirations on life, humanity, awakening purpose, transformation, and the importance of having fun through it all.
2 Philosophies
Lacey has unearthed two core philosophies for obtaining her mission, which is support people in awakening to their true nature and passions in order to create a more mindful, compassionate, and harmonious world.
- We cannot imagine the the value in others and the world around us, when we cannot perceive our own innate value.
- The more we are removed from interactions with the splendor and rhythms of the natural world, the more we are disconnected from our true nature, and the nature of others.
5 Steps
Lacey has found that the key is in these five steps that lead to greater understanding and perspective. Using the metaphor of climbing a mountain, Lacey likens these 5 steps to climbing to the summit. The Summit is a where we can gain greater understanding perspective.
Personal Challenge
Social Awareness
How can Lacey help you get started?
Lacey leads by examples and shares her process by sharing her life story, soulful and poignant music, and tales from the wilderness trail. It is her hope that you will be inspired and better equipped to head for your own Summit; whatever your dreams may be!
How can you partner with Lacey and her dreams?
Lacey is launching her business, VitalAccord™ and continuing WHAT'S YOUR SUMMIT. She is excited about this chapter of her life and the difference it is making in the lives Lacey has an opportunity to touch. However, Lacey is mostly flying solo. She has an awesome climbing team, and friends and family help when they can to spread the word about up and coming events. At the same time, to have a greater impact, Lacey needs a support team, sponsors and agents, to partner with to really transform her career and the lives of many!

So, I'm currently in the stage of "Cram as many memes in as possible and see what sticks", so a looooot of this is subject to change and definitely nowhere near final. The Extra Deck in particular, as I figure out exactly what options really stick with this deck. My main complaint is that there are no tuners that this deck can take advantage of consistently, but otherwise this deck has a pretty breezy time getting just a lot of crap out in one turn.
"But Where's Dragged Down/Dealings?!"
The issue I have with those cards is how they benefit your opponent. At best you're gaining the same value as them, but I don't like Dragged Down because of how you can't guarantee what you'll discard without minusing hard, and you bet your ass your opponent is going to pick the thing that benefits you the least or just straight hurts you if they know what they're doing. And Dealings? More often than not it's going to help your opponent more than yourself; they're getting just as much, if not more advantage than you, and I can't say I like that.

My Town Walker: Humane Society of West Michigan breaks ground on expansion Sept. 9
WALKER, Mich.— The Humane Society of West Michigan is growing to accomodate more cats.
On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the nonprofit organization will break ground on its Bissell cattery expansion project. The larger space will allow HSWM to accomodate the many felines it currently admits, which are often housed in several rooms. The space issue is often compounded during summer, when many litters of kittens are typically admitted.
The expansion project is named after Cathy and Mark Bissell, who have committed to donating $100,000 to renovate and improve the cattery as long as HSWM can raise $25,000 by Oct. 1. So far, the nonprofit organization has raised $20,000.
Cathy Bissell will be on hand for the ground breaking ceremony, which will take place at 10 a.m. at HSWM, located at 3077 Wilson NW in Walker. Visitors can tour the current cattery and enjoy refreshments.

PLYMOUTH, Mass. --- In this place sometimes known as America's hometown, schoolchildren and tourists flock to see Plymouth Rock, a replica of the Mayflower and the place where the Pilgrims and Mashpee Wampanoags Indians shared the first Thanksgiving meal.
But the staid and historic image of Plymouth could soon be tempered by a decidedly modern attraction: a $488 million film and television studio, complete with 14 sound stages, a 10-acre back lot, a theater, a 300-room upscale hotel, a spa and 500,000 square feet of office space.
The thought of turning Plymouth into a movie Mecca has won the enthusiastic support of many residents, but some don't like the idea of adding Hollywood to their history.
"We don't need you; we've already got Plymouth Rock," said Laurien Enos, one of just three of 116 Town Meeting members who voted last month against allowing the developers to build the studio on a golf course in the town about 40 miles south of Boston.
While Ms. Enos and others worry about traffic and Hollywood glamour changing their town, most residents have embraced the studio.
More than 1,100 people showed up at a recent jobs fair.
"I think it's a great idea," said Renee Stoddard, a waitress at The All-American Diner. "It's going to bring lots of jobs and more people into Plymouth, and more business for us. It couldn't be a better time for that. We get plumbers and carpenters in here all the time and they're saying there's no work."
Even though construction isn't expected to begin until at least April once the final approvals are set -- and the studio won't be ready before late 2010 -- developers Plymouth Rock Studios LLC have pre-leased about 60 percent of the office space they'll need.
Led by David Kirkpatrick, a former president of Paramount Pictures, with Earl Lestz, another former Paramount executive, Plymouth Rock Studios doesn't yet have financing. That could prove a major obstacle given the current economy.
But Joseph DiLorenzo, the chief financial officer of Plymouth Rock Studios and former CFO of the NBA's Boston Celtics, is confident lenders will come through. He notes that the film industry -- though faltering now -- has weathered recessions before and that the project offers sound stages where filmmakers can do everything related to production, including editing and scoring.
"Now that we know we can build on it, we'll go raise money," he said. "We've had letters from HBO, Warner, Paramount and Fox, saying, 'If you build it, we will come.' "
Big-name producers and directors will come to Massachusetts because it offers filmmakers a sales tax exemption and a 25 percent tax credit for payroll and production expenses, Mr. DiLorenzo said.
For its part, in addition to a zoning change, Plymouth's Town Meeting gave the developers a 75 percent break on the studio's real estate taxes for the first five years. The exemption will gradually decrease over 20 years.
"We want to become the alternative to Hollywood for the film industry," Mr. DiLorenzo said.
That might be a tall order, given the competition Massachusetts faces from other states that offer financial incentives, including Connecticut, which offers a tax credit of up to 30 percent for in-state production expenses, and Rhode Island, which gives a 25 percent tax credit.
New York, which is widely seen as Hollywood's closest competitor, offers a 35 percent tax credit. And Michigan, also attractive for filmmakers, has begun refunding studios up to 42 percent of their in-state production expenses.
Nicholas Paleologos, the executive director of the Massachusetts Film Office, calls the Plymouth proposal "enormously ambitious" but says Plymouth could be a big draw. The number of tourists in Plymouth has dropped in recent years from about 1 million a year to about 750,000.
"Plymouth is already a tourist attraction, and now, if you've got a place where people can visit the sets and take a tour of the back lots, it just enhances the tourist industry that's already there," he said.
Since the first version of the incentive went into effect in 2006, the state has seen a dramatic jump in the number of movies made and the money spent in the state by those productions.
The film industry spent about $6 million in Massachusetts in 2005, and $60 million in 2006. Direct spending more than doubled to $125 million in 2007, on eight major films, including The Women, starring Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan, and Pink Panther 2, starring Steve Martin. Direct spending is expected to double again this year to $350 million to $400 million on 10 films, Mr. Paleologos said.
Mr. DiLorenzo said the developers expect the project to create about 1,000 construction jobs and another 2,000 permanent jobs at the studio, which is to be built on Waverly Oaks Golf Course in a rural residential neighborhood in South Plymouth. The group secured the rights to the name "Hollywood East" from the Hollywood, Calif., Chamber of Commerce.
Even people who work at historic sites in Plymouth like the thought of a studio in town.
Ann Young, the director of visitor services at Pilgrim Hall Museum, which houses the largest collection of Pilgrim artifacts in the world, said she isn't worried the glitz of a movie studio could taint Plymouth.
"We're all thrilled about it," Ms. Young said. "I think that (the developers) are trying to do something new. They are like pilgrims coming to Plymouth to start something new."
