US schools are hurting kids by banning rough play
No roughhousing. No superhero games. No turning your fingers - or your Pop-Tart-into a make-believe gun. No tag. And certainly no dodgeball.
Stories of zero-tolerance play-policing by schools are a well-established news genre. Most recently, parents in Washington state mounted a successful campaign to force the Mercer Island school district to reverse its ban on playing tag during "unstructured playtime", or what used to be called recess. In his back-pedalling press release, district superintendent Gary Plano puzzlingly insisted that "asking students to keep their hands and feet to themselves at all times, including recess" wasn't a ban on tag. Perhaps he envisions tag by telepathy.
At any rate, Mercer Island isn't the first school district to prohibit tag and it won't be the last. Bans on physical contact and pretend violence are the norm on US school playgrounds.
"The majority of school districts in the US have 'zero- tolerance' policies on 'any form of violence'," says Ms Jennifer Hart, who teaches early childhood education at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia and has published research on "playful aggression" among children. Kids who wrestle, pretend to fight, or play superheroes face punishment, as do teachers who tolerate such old-fashioned antics.
Behind these policies is the superstitious belief that vigorous physical contact and make-believe violence will beget immediate and future real physical harms - magical thinking that fundamentally misunderstands how children play and learn.
Prohibiting rough-and-tumble play doesn't make recess safer or kids less apt to hurt others. To the contrary, the bans deprive children of the very experiences they need to master peaceful social interactions.
Roughhousing is more than good exercise. Psychological research shows that it's essential to childhood development. Rowdy, physical play teaches kids to communicate verbally and non-verbally; to take turns; to negotiate rules; and to understand when they can use their full strength and when they need to hold back. It may sometimes look like fighting but it isn't.
Kids smile and laugh, return voluntarily to the game, take turns in dominant roles, and wear distinctive "play faces". In a chasing game like tag, children "learn how their bodies move, how their playmates will respond when a change to the game is made, how to negotiate these changes to games, what to do when one of the children falls, and how to express their thoughts to the others involved in the game," writes Ms Michelle T. Tannock in the Journal of Early Childhood Education, summarising the developmental- psychology literature.
When she interviewed kids at two childcare centres in British Columbia, Ms Tannock found that they all said rough-and-tumble play was prohibited - yet they engaged in it anyway.
"To simply forbid it is like telling children, 'We're not going to let you eat today, because the food might be contaminated'," says Ms Frances Carlson, author of Big Body Play, a guide published by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. "Children can't live without it, so they do it in hiding."
Over the past three decades, as the research into its importance has mounted, the NAEYC has gone from hostile to supportive of full-body play. Unfortunately, laws and schools haven't kept up, hurting kids' development.
Contrary to what squeamish authorities seem to think, it's the kids who don't engage in rough-and-tumble play who actually tend to be more violent later on in life.
So, says Ms Carlson, forbidding playful physical contact "stokes the fire as opposed to diminishing it". Some kids are indeed prone to hurt others. "If you've ever watched a group of four- or five-year-olds play Duck, Duck, Goose," says Ms Carlson, "there's always one child who, when it's his turn or her turn, will not tag. They'll slap".
Socially and developmentally behind their peers, the offending children are those who most need the lessons big-body play can teach. Keeping them from playing tag, says Ms Carlson, "is not the way they learn how to tag more gently. Continuing to tag is the way they learn to tag more gently".
Good teachers will coach rather than punish kids who play rough. That may sometimes mean physically standing in for playmates to show a child when a tag is too hard or a wrestling grip too tight.
The law in Ms Carlson's home state of Georgia prohibits such good pedagogy, at least in childcare centres. (School districts set their own policies.) It often puts Ms Carlson in the peculiar position of giving training seminars that start with this warning: "What I'm about to teach you to do today is illegal in the state of Georgia. However, I was asked by the state of Georgia to present this training to you."
Educating teachers doesn't do any good, of course, if they can't use what they learn. The zero-tolerance approach not only hampers children's education. It treats teachers not as educational professionals but as passive bystanders unable - or forbidden - to make judgment calls, even in ridiculous cases.
Take what happened to Drew Johnson, now a freshman in high school, when he was a child at Cumberland Elementary School in Fishers, Indiana. One fall recess he bent over and picked some dandelions. For that offence, he served several days of lunchtime detention.
When his shocked parents asked the principal what was wrong with such innocuous behaviour, she explained that some kids had been throwing rocks at recess. To make things easy on recess monitors, the school had simply banned picking anything up from the ground - flowers included.

Yuru Camp Episode 2
Saturday, January 13. 2018 | Comments (2)
I expected episode 2 to start out with Pinky (real name: Nadeshiko) finally running into The Camping Girl (real name: Rin) at school; finding out Rin is in some kind of camping club, and then the rest of the series happens as you'd expect. Which would have been fine.
Instead, Pinky and Rin miss each other a second time at the end of the school day, as Pinky seeks out the "Outdoor Activities" Club (OutClub for short) and Rin decides maybe she could invite Pinky on a camping trip. Maybe. Someday. But not now. And Rin goes off to the library to read and let her friend Ena Saito (the one on the phone) play with her hair.
The OutClub turns out to be a closet occupied by Aoi and Chiaki, and they definitely intend to camp, someday. But they don't know much about it, and can only afford a $10 discount tent. Which breaks the first time they try to set it up. Saito-san and Rin witness this tragedy, but Saito's suggestion that Aoi, Chiaki, and Pinky could use Rin's expertise isn't a welcome suggestion:
Saito-san intervenes instead, carrying Rin's advice and a repair sleeve outside to the devastated OutClub. And of course, while Rin noticed Pinky and has been hoping fervently to not be noticed in return, Pinky has now been pointed in Rin's direction:
So...now, if you're a normal person, I bet you're expecting the very next scene to be introductions all around, and everyone learning about the Outdoor Activities club, and Saito says "That sounds fun!" and talks Rin into joining, too; and then the rest of the series takes place as expected. Right?
Instead we cut to the weekend, with Rin once again riding her bicycle to a new camping ground. We spend the next 9 minutes (almost exactly) watching Rin pay her camping fee ($20 this time, which she thinks is a bit expensive), set up her tent in a wide, flat grassland (again with a view of Fuji-san), explore the campgrounds (she paid $20 for this after all), and debate setting a fire. We learn that fires can't be set on the ground here; you must use a special stand to use a campfire. Also, Rin would have to buy firewood rather than pick it up off the ground. There's also a bit about how the bathrooms are different than she expected. The kind of stuff a typical Japanese camper would need to know visiting the nation's campsites.
Finally, at the end of the day, as Rin contemplates boiling her cup ramen (there weren't any grocery stores along the way, so she didn't get to buy the ingredients she needed to prepare real food), she thinks back to her encounter with Pinky. Nadeshiko invited Rin to join the Outdoor Activities club, but Rin made the face again. Rin doesn't want to lose her camping alone time, and unfortunately the look on her face made it clear that she had no interest in joining in with anyone else. The message was so clear even Pinky got it.
At the very least, Rin knows she was rude, and she imagines the voice she hears in her head of Nadeshiko calling out to her again and again is her conscience chastising her. But it isn't: Pinky suddenly appears in front of her, carrying fresh ingredients to make hot pot. It seems Saito-san txted her Rin's campground for the weekend.
So, while episode 2 didn't have the magical moments that episode 1 did, it managed to surprise by moving in a different direction than what was expected. The show also continued the "camping tutorials" that appeared in the first episode; both during the tent-assembly scene (used to amusing ends, as well) and more subtly with Rin's exploration of the camping grounds.
We also now have all of the cast assembled, even if they aren't in the configuration we were probably expecting.

The Changing Role of Auditors in Corporate Tax Planning
NBER Working Paper No. 11504
This paper examines changes in the role that auditors play in corporate tax planning following recent
events, including the well-known accounting scandals, passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and
regulatory actions by the SEC and PCAOB. On the whole, these events have increased the
sensitivity to and scrutiny of auditor independence. We examine the effects of these events on the
market for tax planning, in particular the longstanding link between audit and tax services. While
the effects are recent, they are already being seen in the data. Specifically, there has already been
a dramatic shift in the market for tax planning away from obtaining tax planning services from one's
auditor. We estimate that the ratio of tax fees to audit fees paid to the auditors of firms in the S&P
500 decline from approximately one in 2001 to one-fourth in 2004. At the same time, we find no
evidence of a general decline in spending for tax services. In sum, the evidence indicates a
decoupling of the longstanding link between audit and tax services, such that firms are shifting their
purchase of tax services away from their auditor and towards other providers.

A Difficult Death
The Life and Work of Jens Peter Jacobsen
Morten Høi Jensen; Foreword by James Wood
Price: $30.00
While largely unknown today, Danish writer and Darwin translator Jens Peter Jacobsen was the leading prose writer in Scandinavia in the late nineteenth century and part of a generation that included Henrik Ibsen, Knut Hamsun, and August Strindberg. His novels Marie Grubbe and Niels Lyhne as well as his stories and poems were widely admired by writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, and James Joyce.
Despite his untimely death from tuberculosis at the age of thirty-eight, Jacobsen became a cult figure to an entire generation and continues to occupy an important place in Scandinavian cultural history. In this book, Morten Høi Jensen gives a moving account of Jacobsen's life, work, and death: his passionate interest in the natural sciences, his complicated and nuanced attitude to his own atheism, and his painful descent toward an early death. Carefully researched and sympathetically imagined, this is an evocative portrait of one of the most influential and gifted writers of the nineteenth century.
"Before I read Morten Høi Jensen's A Difficult Death, Jens Peter Jacobsen was just a name I vaguely recalled from Rilke. But now he's become, among other things, an intellectual hero. This book beautifully conjures the person, skillfully creates the world, and thoroughly explains the work -- it's as exemplary as literary biographies get. I've long regarded Jensen as one of the best young critics writing today, and A Difficult Death proves it."—Tom Bissell, author of Apostle: Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve.
"Offering a wonderful sense of intimacy with the life and works of Jens Peter Jacobsen, this book also wrestles with the difficult giants in the wings: Rilke, Strindberg, Ibsen and the brothers Brandes. A beguiling view of a rich literary landscape."—Mikka Haugaard, translator of Marie Grubbe

Docs advocate safer, painless way to examine breast cancer
City oncologists recommend thermography instead of mammography for early detection of breast cancer; patients need not undergo the procedure every year, machine can be used on younger patients as well
City oncologists recommend thermography instead of mammography for early detection of breast cancer; patients need not undergo the procedure every year, machine can be used on younger patients as well
The early detection of breast cancer can be possible through thermography, also known as 'no touch breast scan screening process', which can be a safer and better option than mammography, confirmed city oncologists. The city got its first thermography machine last year, which is approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of USA. However, lack of awareness among the people about this machine is refraining them from opting for it.
hassle-free: City's only thermography machine is located at the Gupte
Hospital on Bhandarkar Road. PIC/Ishan Ghosh
City-based oncologist, Dr Shekhar Kulkarni, who established a breast cancer support group 'Aastha' about ten years ago, said, "In the last five years, the number of new cases of breast cancer has increased by 30 per cent. In such cases, regular checkups have become necessary. "Although thermography is not a replacement for mammography, it can still be a painless and a better option."
Safe procedure
Dr Kulkarni further added that the thermography is a comfortable and safe procedure that does not use radiation or compression. It examines the changes in the temperature and blood vessels of breasts, and signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth.
Because of breast thermography's extreme sensitivity, the earliest detection of cancer can be possible. While in the case of mammography, which has to be done every year, there is high risk of side effects due to the radiations it releases, Dr Kulkarni said.
It has also been observed that the high radiation released through the mammography machine itself is responsible for the cancer. The procedure is also extremely painful making patients refrain from undergoing the examination procedure. The important benefit of thermography is that it can be used for younger patients, which cannot be done through mammography, the doctor informed.
Only four machines
There are only four thermography machines in India. Apart from the Gupte Hospital in Pune, the machines are in Mumbai, Thane and Ahmedabad. Dr Chetan Deshmukh of Deenanath Hospital, said, "Thermography is not diagnosis, it's only the detection. However, it's relatively safer and a cheaper option than mammography."
Painless procedure
Some of the breast cancer patients also told MiD DAY that they hesitate to undergo mammography as its not only painful, but also uncomfortable. Aparna Ambike, who has been undergoing mammography since past 18 years said, "My doctor told me about this new machine and I found it extremely safe and comfortable than
Merits of thermography
According to oncologists, Thermography alerts women early enough to begin the process of actually reversing the abnormal development, before it even becomes a tumor. Thermography uses no compression or radiation, so it is safe, non-invasive and painless.

Casey Affleck Apologizes for 'Unprofessional' Behavior Amid Me Too Backlash
In an interview with the Associated Press, Affleck admitted to contributing to an unprofessional environment on the set of "I'm Still Here," which was shot in 2008 and 2009. "I tolerated that kind of behavior from other people and I wish that I hadn't. And I regret a lot of that," Affleck, who directed, produced, and co-wrote the film, said. "I really did not know what I was responsible for as the boss. I don't even know if I thought of myself as the boss. But I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional. And I'm sorry."
Affleck reflected on the accusations made on the film's set, in light of the Me Too and Time's Up movements. Two women involved in the production filed two sexual harassment suits against Affleck eight years ago. Controversy surrounding the suits, settled in 2010, resurfaced during his Oscar campaign for "Manchester by the Sea" in 2016.
"First of all, that I was ever involved in a conflict that resulted in a lawsuit is something that I really regret," he said. "I wish I had found a way to resolve things in a different way. I hate that. I had never had any complaints like that made about me before in my life and it was really embarrassing and I didn't know how to handle it."
He continued: "And I didn't agree with everything, the way I was being described, and the things that were said about me, but I wanted to try to make it right. So, we made it right in the way that was asked at the time. And we all agreed to just try to put it behind us and move on with our lives, which I think we deserve to do, and I want to respect them as they've respected me and my privacy. And that's that."
Affleck, who is promoting his upcoming film "The Old Man & the Gun" — directed by David Lowery and co-starring Robert Redford — said he's learned from the cultural conversation over the past couple of years. "I kind of moved from a place of being defensive to one of a more mature point of view, trying to find my own culpability. And once I did that, I discovered there was a lot to learn."
Affleck addressed his decision to step back from presenting the best actress Oscar this year, despite his best actor win in 2017 for "Manchester by the Sea."
"I think it was the right thing to do just given everything that was going on in our culture at the moment," he said about breaking Academy Award tradition. "And having two incredible women go present the best actress award felt like the right thing."
Now running his own production company, Sea Change Media, with Whitaker Lader, Affleck added that Lader has helped him create a safe work environment. "She's been way ahead of the curve on all these issues," he said.
"But I think bigger picture, in this business, women have been underrepresented and underpaid and objectified and diminished and humiliated and belittled in a bazillion ways and just generally had a mountain of grief thrown at them forever," he added. "And no one was really making too much of a fuss about it, myself included, until a few women with the kind of courage and wisdom to stand up and say, 'You know what? Enough is enough.'"
He also said he's learned to "keep my mouth shut."
"And I know just enough to know that in general I need to keep my mouth shut and listen and try to figure out what's going on and be a supporter and a follower in the little, teeny tiny ways that I can," Affleck said. "And we do that at our production company and I try to do it at home, and if I'm ever called upon by anyone to help in any way and contribute, I'd be more than happy to."

I'm not even a fan of Affleck and as an ideal I chose to believe victims/accusers, but in the case that the accusers are wrong, that they are lying or misrepresenting the situation, I'm not sure what else Affleck could say other than what he did.

They resolved it internally and apparently the other side of the story wasn't as clean. In the end we'll never know the whole story because it's a private matter and we can only choose to judge it as complete outsiders, or not.

Letter: Local request for 450 bags not honored
Five years ago, I started an enrichment program for kindergarten students at Dudley School. This program now serves 450 children in seven schools in the Battle Creek and Lakeview schools. One of the committee goals this year was to secure cloth bags for the children to take home. These bags are to be used by the children to keep the enrichment kits that go home for ten weeks at the end of the school year. Each child receives ten kits, which means that the volunteers pack 4500 kits each year.
I was shown one of the Kellogg bags used at their Wednesday store. What a nice bag for the children as it is decorated with the Kellogg animals. I was told to call Consumer Affairs, which I did. When I explained my request, I was told that they did not honor such requests.
When I asked the young man where he was located, he told me Wisconsin. Sorry, but 450 bags are not going into homes in Battle Creek!

"Boo York, Boo York" (also titled Boo York Boo York: A Monsterrific Musical!) is the twelfth TV special produced for the Monster High cartoon series and is meant to be a musical. It was released on September 29, 2015. The TV special ties into the Boo York, Boo York - City Ghouls, Boo York, Boo York - City Schemes, Boo York, Boo York - Gala Ghoulfriends, Boo York, Boo York - Frightseers, Boo York, Boo York - Comet-Crossed Couple, and Boo York, Boo York - Out-of-Tombers lines.
After performing ("Love is Like a Storm Tonight"), Catty runs out of ideas for writing a new song, so she sings ("Search Inside") to say that she should "search inside" of herself for ideas on a love song. Meanwhile Ramses de Nile sees the crystal comet arriving and he and Nefera prepare to head to Boo York. He also informs Cleo and allows her to take a friend or two with her. However, she invites Deuce (as well as giving him a King Tut-like chin piece and gold glasses), Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Operetta and Catty.
The crew head to Boo York where they shop for new clothes and wear them out.("Fright Lights, Big City") Luna Mothews, a moth monster girl also arrives and meets them. Cleo takes Deuce with her and turns out Nefera has also invited Toralei. The ghouls also encounter Elle Eedee, a robot DJ who is playing her music on the streets. Cleo, Nefera and Deuce end up in the same taxi as Mouscedes King.
Meanwhile, Ghoulia finds out a comet is about to land on Earth. The De Niles meet Lux Ptolemy and her son Seth. She then is disgusted at Deuce's informality. Back at the catacombs, Abbey walks in to find Ghoulia attempting to stop the comet from arriving. Ramses and Nefera devise a plan to invade Boo York ("Empire"), while the latter herself plans to get rid of Deuce who she believes is in the way of their plans.
Next morning, the De Niles, Ptolemys and the other ghouls settle down at a banquet, only for Deuce to dress like going to the beach, embarrassing everyone. The guards then put him in a blazer which catches fire on a candle since it's too loose. The fire is extinguished but everyone is affected. Nefera later convinces Deuce he doesn't belong with Cleo. At the same time Ghoulia tracks down the comet only to find it will land in Boo York. Later that day, the ghouls run into Luna who now works for a pizza parlour.
Ghoulia uses satellites in attempt to repel the comet, which turns out an alien is inside it, but it persists. Elle then reacts to the comet, but neither herself nor the ghouls can tell what's going on. The ghouls are about to take the subway to catch up with Cleo, when they meet a rapper named Pharaoh, who takes an immediate liking to Catty. The duo then make an escape from the crowd of Catty's fans. Deuce approaches Cleo and painstakingly breaks up with her ("It Can't Be Over").
Back at Monster High, the catacomb door is left open, allowing Heath and Manny to witness the comet coming closer to Boo York. Meanwhile, Pharaoh takes Catty to the Monster of Liberty where she hears the sounds of Boo York as music, realizing she finally found the music she has been looking for.
The ghouls, including Catty later dress up for the crystal comet. Nefera convinces Cleo that Deuce isn't worth being with. Ghoulia, still trying to make the comet land safely now that she finds life inside it, is interrupted by Rotter, who joins Manny and Heath in witnessing the comet. Later that night, Catty parts ways with Pharaoh after being able to write a new song of her own.
The crystal comet party commences, with the ghouls, Ptolemys and De Niles attending. Elle is their DJ. The ghouls then realize something's not right when they see Deuce hasn't been with Cleo. Luna also works there as a waitress. With more students witnessing the comet landing back at the catacombs, Ghoulia continues using the satellites to stop it. However, the radiation is deflected and triggers both the crystal comet shard and Elle.
Cleo takes a look at the hieroglyphics and sees herself and Deuce in it, realizing they still belong together. Luna also changes out of her uniform right before Cleo and Seth are to have a promise ceremony as the two of them are destined to summon the comet together. Halfway, Seth takes off his mask and reveals he is indeed Pharaoh, then speaking up against Lux. He sings ("Boo York, Boo York") with Catty and they escape after that.
At the roof top, Nefera steals their voices (they can still speak, but can't sing properly) using the crystal comet shard. Toralei then sneaks off with it and takes Catty's singing voice to perform at Bloodway. The ghouls then confront her musical-style, ("Steal the Show"). Luna not only returns Catty her voice but earns herself fame at Bloodway. Mouscedes then summons taxis for them to return to the promise ceremony. Deuce, who believes he still belongs to Cleo despite their differences, joins them.
Back at the tower, Toralei calls Nefera to inform her she lost the comet shard. An enraged Nefera uses an amulet that drains all the power in Boo York. The gang then end up in a traffic jam so they have to scale the roofs of Boo York, but during it Elle malfunctioned and Frankie and Draculaura called Ghoulia and Abbey for help. They arrive on time and Deuce reunites with Cleo. Seth/Pharaoh voices his following his own path after Catty brings back his voice, this time Lux lets him.
The crystal comet arrives in Boo York where they meet Astranova. Catty returns her the shard and everyone celebrates ("Shooting Stars").
At the post-credits scene, Astranova, who now attends Monster High, starts a music battle with her guitar against Operetta and her banjo during Rotter's class. After class, Astranova calls Ever After High's Raven and Apple, telling them that Monster High actually exists.
- The movie's title is a reference to the 1977 song "New York, New York" composed by Kander and Ebb and popularized by Liza Minnelli, later covered by Frank Sinatra.
- Boo Jersey is a pun on a real place in the United States, New Jersey.
- Creeperoni pizza is a pun on pepperoni pizza.
- Boocci is a pun on a company named Gucci mostly for men.
- Elle's name is a pun on LED.
- Astranova, Elle Eedee, Luna Mothews, Mouscedes King, Seth Ptolemy, and Amuncommon Ptolemy make their 3D cartoon debuts.
- When the ghouls are talking to Ghoulia and Abbey, when Elle is flawed/malfunctioning, she is using her Boo York, Boo York - Gala Ghoulfriends outfit, but is suddenly changed to Boo York, Boo York - City Ghouls outfit and then back to the previous outfit.
- Catty is missing her tail for almost the entire movie.
- One of Nefera's hangups is her shame over her birthmark on her left shoulder. She keeps it hidden at all times, hence why her Boo York, Boo York - City Schemes doll has a shoulderpad on the left. This outfit is treated as a gala look, while Nefera walks around in the dress without the armour portion for the rest of the movie. This would leave her birthmark exposed, something she'd never do, though it also shows Nefera's model lacks the birthmark. On a lesser scale, Nefera walks around without head wear for most of the movie, yet her hair is shaped as if something's lying atop it.
- It is an error for Operetta to even try to mimic Catty singing as showing that she wants Catty to sing, because according to the webisodes and doll diaries, her voice is supposed to literally be only safe to listen to on a recording, therefore, if her singing is only safe to listen on recording and not live, it should not even be possible.
- A soundtrack containing all the songs from the movie was released on September 25. The soundtrack contains 8 original songs from the movie as well as the recent theme song, We Are Monster High, and the old one as well. Most of them are composed by Catty Noir.
- Lagoona Blue was originally supposed to play a supportive role in this movie, where she accompanied the ghouls to Boo York and went on a separate adventure with Frankie. Plans for this sideplot included a midnight visit to a museum and the discovery of a giant girl living in the Boo York sewers.
- The post credit Ever After High scene was thrown in at the last second. The final scene was supposed to be them in the school pool, listening to the song "Boo York, Boo York".
- The DVD of the special contains the Spring Unsprung special from the spin-off series, Ever After High.

Chef Tim Goodell's accolades are diverse, and that's fitting because so are his accomplishments. From his start under pastry chef Gary Danko at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco in the early '90s to his recent expansion of 25 Degrees from its home inside the Roosevelt Hotel to Chicago and Bangkok, he's a tour de cuisine. The most recent stop on that expedition is Snowmass Village, Colo., where he opened Ricard Brasserie and Bia Hoi in December. Here, he'll bring his award-winning style to a new setting that's just ripe for a culinary adventure.
HL: Ricard Brasserie is French food and Bia Hoi is Southeast Asian food. Why these two cuisines and how do see you them fitting into Aspen/Snowmass' culinary scene?
TG: Working closely with Related Colorado, we saw an opportunity for a more international style of cuisine in Snowmass. Both classic brasserie and Southeast Asian food is right in my wheelhouse.
HL: What was your inspiration for Ricard? For Bia Hoi?
TG: Inspired by the classic brasseries of Paris that have been in existence for many many years, we wanted Ricard to look like it's been here for a very long time. As for Bia Hoi, we envisioned a Vietnamese or Thai back-alley beer hall serving small tastes of street food.
HL: Are you doing anything differently here (besides the actual menus, etc.) than your other Domaine Restaurants?
TG: We have done everything differently, from the interior design and aesthetic of the space to the hand-fabrication of sausages and charcuterie, the crafted cocktails, and of course the use of local Colorado products.
HL: And on that note, how did you choose Snowmass Village as a location for you next two restaurants?
TG: I chose Snowmass based on the relationship I developed with key players of Related Colorado who own the property. In addition, I looked at Snowmass's future development plans and they created a promising future for a sophisticated dining scene.
HL: Given Ricard's location at the base of Snowmass mountain, how will the restaurant appeal to the apres-ski (and hiking/biking in the summer) crowd?
TG: Location, location, location. … Ricard is basically at "main & main" within Base Village. We are at the prime spot when finishing a day of skiing and a perfect setting for après ski with a large patio, indoor-outdoor bar, and fireplace enhanced lounge.
HL: Which Colorado ingredients or products do you love using?
TG: Avalanche Cheese Company, Tender Belly pork products, and a few different local distillers.
HL: You own a home in the Snowmass area, correct? What is your idea of a perfect Colorado day?
TG: Yes, my perfect day would be a cappuccino and a morning bun from Ricard, a full day of skiing on Snowmass with a break for a bowl of pho from Bia Hoi. Après with champagne and oysters again at Ricard, followed by dinner with friends at one of the large communals or the chefs counter at Bia Hoi. Lastly, a very hot jacuzzi would hit the spot!

I would like to encourage you to attend the Our Generation Summit this year! Even though we are reaching our deadline to register and be able to stay at the Music Road Hotel you can still make accommodations at others hotels in the city. The fee for the conference is only $50. We have childcare provided.
There is a long list of reasons I believe people should attend this annual event.
- the practical sessions taught by missionaries on discipleship and how we can better assist them
- the challenging messages where we are reminded of God's heart for this world
- the Christ-exalting music
- opportunity to get away from a few days from the routine of life
- fun time with others from your church
- Gatlinburg is a pretty cool place
- opportunity to spend time with missionaries and others that care about missions
These all are the things you would expect me to say about the Summit. I have been to everyone, and I have been pushing these "selling points" for the last 13 years now. You also know the church and missions group I am a member of puts these on so you might think my promotion of it might not be very sincere.
I can honestly say that no matter what scenario I am in I would be looking for a way to get to the Summit. If I was a factory worker in Maryland, a single parent trying to raise kids to the glory of God, a youth pastor with only a few teens, a youth pastor with unlimited resources, old, or young I would be doing my best to be in Gatlinburg for these three days.
Outside of all the reasons I gave above let me give you the main reason.
I believe that the cause of world evangelism is so important to my walk with Christ that it deserves and demands that I reevaluate my involvement every year and consider going into the next year how I can be more involved.

Unified State Plan for
Program Year 2017-2020
In 2014, the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was passed. The WIOA is designed to help job seekers gain employment, along with accessing education, training, and support services. WIOA requires that states submit a Unified or Combined State Plan to the U.S. Department of Labor that outlines a four-year strategy for the State's workforce development system. States submitted their four-year WIOA State Plans for Federal review and approval in early 2016. The WIOA State Plans provide valuable information about the various investments, programs, and initiatives underway to serve our jobseekers, students, and businesses across the country.
Florida's core partners (Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Program, Adult Education and Family Literacy Programs, Wagner-Peyser Act Program, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and Division of Blind Services) submitted a unified plan, with the first two program years being approved and published on the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) website.

Holy Angels to be cleared for work
Parents of babies who are buried in the Holy Angels plot in Portlaoise have been asked to remove all items in memory of their babies from the plot by the end of September.
Any items not removed before that date will be removed by the Holy Angels' Consultative Forum and held in storage until an upgrade on the grave is completed next summer.
It is proposed to provide a new grey granite headstone at the Holy Angels' Plot. The wording "Erected in loving memory of all little angels buried here" and a reflection/poem will be inscribed on the headstone.
In addition, two granite vases for fresh flowers, an eternal flame, an area for gifts and plaques will be provided at the plot. Two seats will also be provided and the grave will be protected with grey chippings.
Parents who wish to have their baby's names inscribed on the headstone are invited to contact Mary Fitzpatrick at 057 86 96043 (9 am to 5 pm) or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Consultative Forum also wished to highlight that no babies' remains will be disturbed during the upgrade of the plot.
The upgrade is proposed in consideration of all parents of babies buried at the Holy Angels' Plot. Queries regarding the upgrade may be made to Mary Fitzpatrick or to email@example.com.
The Holy Angels' Consultative Forum in conjunction with staff in the Maternity Unit in Portlaoise and the parish clergy propose to hold a Christmas Remembrance Service at the Holy Angels' Plot for bereaved parents, families and friends of Angels buried in the Holy Angels' Plot.

As the author of a recent book analyzing law and policy related to suicide (Rational Suicide, Irrational Laws: Examining Current Approaches to Suicide in Policy and Law; Oxford University Press), I read Lesley McAllister's story knowing that I could not possibly understand the choices she faces. From both a personal and policy perspective, I agree that these are and should be her choices.
On the other hand, I also agree with Professor Robert George that this is a difficult policy question that implicates many aspects of our society. Experience in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, and Montana tells us very little about how the End of Life Option Act will work in a state with a multicultural, multilingual population of 38 million people and huge health organizations like Kaiser Permanente. But after interviewing and surveying almost 400 people who made serious and severe suicide attempts, and doing exhaustive clinical and case law research, it is clear to me that our present social policies and laws regarding suicide — assisted or not — are irrational and counterproductive. In one case in Oregon, a man with terminal cancer was prescribed lethal medication by one physician and involuntarily committed for being suicidal by another.
One thing that is clear about this immensely difficult and complex subject is that we need to talk more about it, and listen more. Mark Bernstein and Lesley McAllister have made valuable contributions to a needed national discourse by this article.

Dachel Media Update: Newtown Child, Genetic Test, Who Needs Cure?
Feb 24, 2013, Boston Globe: Parents of girl killed in Newtown talk about life with, and without, their daughter, Joey Gay
Feb 24, 2013, Fox13 Salt Lake City: New genetic test may improve autism diagnosis
Feb 24, 2013, Seacoastonline.com: Helping autistic children Portsmouth, NH
Feb 23, 2013, Boston Globe: Schools seek budget increase
Feb 23, 2013, ABC Local, Brentwood, CA: Brentwood school district suspends Superintendent
Feb 22, 2013, My Fox Detroit: Oakland University hosts autism summit
Feb 22, 2013, UK Guardian: Kristina Chew asks "Do we really need a cure for autism?"
"It was Joey who took up the most room in the family of five. She was autistic and did not speak. She had apraxia, a central nervous system disorder that impaired her movement. She sometimes struggled with balance, and would often trip and fall. But she was affectionate, sweet, and funny, and communicated in her own way."
Too sad for words.
"A new genetic test may lead to a more accurate diagnosis for individuals with autism spectrum disorder by looking at key genetic markers.
"Geneticists say that a more accurate diagnosis leads to better treatment and support because families know more about what they're dealing with. The new test is a product of a Utah company called Lineagan."
"Michael Paul, Lineagan, said genetic testing makes sense for autism and related conditions.
"'Autism at its base is highly genetic in nature,' he said. 'Some studies have estimated that up to 70 to 80 percent of autism is genetic in nature. That doesn't mean there's not environmental component."'
I guess these people didn't heard about study of 400 twins in 2011 that showed genetics was only about 37 percent of the risk factor. No matter, it's more people making a living off of the autism disaster.
"A sudden regression is one common sign of autism. While Elijah seems to be developing nicely, his parents are watching closely for signs of backsliding."
'For unknown reasons, ASDs are almost five times more common among boys than girls. It can be hereditary but it also appears in families where there is no history of the disorder."
More of the mystery of autism. Sudden regression. Loss of speech. That 's just the way it is. I did post comments. They haven't appeared yet.
"The School Committee plans to vote Monday on a $24.6 million budget that would increase school spending by more than 2.5 percent for the first time since fiscal 2006. Since then, annual changes in the school budget have ranged from a decrease of 1.7 percent to an increase of 2.2 percent, said School Committee chairman Andrew Mackie. The proposed budget for fiscal 2014, which begins July 1, would raise spending by 6.8 percent, he said. About $96,000 would be used to start a program at the elementary level for students with autism. Over the long term, he expects the program will save Norton money on out-of-district placements while allowing students to stay close to home. Mackie said other increases are necessary to protect the district from federal budget cuts that will occur if Congress does not act by March 1. He hopes the town will receive an increase in state education funding, he said."
Notice this little info piece only mentioned ONE SPECIFIC BUDGET ITEM: AUTISM.
"The Brentwood Union School District suspended Superintendent Merrill Grant. The decision came after a four hour special meeting on Friday. The board did not say why Grant was put on leave.
"On Thursday, the state revoked the credential of district teacher Dina Holder, who was convicted of kicking a student with autism three years ago."
I was struck by the casual sound of this: a teacher "who was convicted of kicking a student with autism." It took three years to revoke her credentials?
"OU is one of several schools focusing on graduating more therapists. Those therapists will one day work with autistic children and families struggling to find services."
So nice that MI is worried about providing for all the kids with autism. I wish they'd ask where they're all coming from and families are struggling. I posted several comments.
"As the mother of an autistic son, I've grappled with whether it's morally or medically right to talk about 'curing' autism."
Most of us would challenge everything about this story, from the claim that autism is a "genetic disorder" to the speculation that we don't need a cure. Why would anyone not want this condition cured? Why should we be so willing to surrender to autism? I posted 13 comments to make sure more views were being heard.

We're excited to introduce you to Sabre Travel Network® and the Sabre® travel marketplace, also known as a global distribution system. Below you'll find answers to some frequently asked questions about our company, the travel agency business and how you can get started.
We obviously love travel and welcome your decision to make it your profession. And while we're here to help existing Sabre Connectedsm agents work better, smarter and faster, we cannot make you a travel agent. To be a professional agent and to ticket airline reservations, you must be ARC or BSP accredited or be associated with an ARC or BSP accredited host agency.
"Sabre Connected" is our way of referring to travel agencies that have full access to the Sabre global distribution system (GDS) for air, car, hotel and rail reservations and ticketing. They are connected to the broadest array of product selection for professional travel retailers. Full access to the Sabre GDS does require a contract. We also offer any professional travel agent access to our leisure products without the need to be a Sabre Connected agent: Sabre® Cruises, Sabre® Vacations, Trams® Back Office or ClientBase®.
GDS stands for global distribution system. This is the industry's name for a system that lets travel suppliers distribute travel products' rates and information for agencies to market and sell.
ARC is an airline-owned company that provides ticket distribution, reporting, and settlement services for over 150 air and rail carriers and more than 20,000 ARC-accredited Travel Agency locations and Corporate Travel Departments. An ARC number is an identifier assigned by the Airlines Reporting Corporation to a travel agency authorized to issue airline tickets. In order to ticket airline reservations, agencies in the United States must be ARC-accredited or be associated with an accredited host agency.
IATA's Billing Settlement Plan (BSP) is a system designed to facilitate and simplify the selling, reporting and remitting procedures of IATA Accredited Passenger Sales Agents, as well as improve financial control and cash flow for BSP Airlines. A BSP number is an identifier assigned by IATA to a travel agency authorized to issue airline tickets. In order to ticket airline reservations, agencies outside of the United States must be IATA accredited or be associated with an accredited host agency.
A host agency is a bonded, accredited ARC or IATA agency through which an independent agent has a business arrangement with them to issue airline tickets on their behalf in addition to other services. Please visit the National Association of Career Travel Agents (NACTA) to learn more. If you are planning to become a Sabre Connected agent, your host agency must also be Sabre Connected.
In order to be a professional travel agent (or own a travel agency), you need to have the proper industry ID (such as an ARC or IATA number). Without that, suppliers won't know who you are or where to send your commission payments. Airlines will not allow unaccredited, independent agents to issue tickets. Travel industry accreditation identifies your business to suppliers and promotes your agency's credibility and professionalism.
You should consider travel school or working/mentoring with a travel agency before opening your own business. Today's travel industry is very complex and potential travel agents should be prepared in order to be successful. A good resource is ASTA Member Travel Schools.
You will find valuable information on the ASTA website to help you launch your career. ASTA (short for the American Society of Travel Agents) is the world's largest association of travel professionals. For example, they offer an informative 25-page booklet called "Becoming a Travel Agent" that can help you in your quest to work in travel.
Travel agencies earn their compensation through services fees paid by their travelers directly to them and through commissions paid by suppliers for certain products or services.It is up to the supplier whether or not to pay a commission to your agency.
There are several training and support options for existing travel agents to learn how to use Sabre Red 360. If you are a Sabre Connected agent, log into Sabre Central with your Sabre Agent ID, your password and your Sabre Pseudo City Code (PCC).
Committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our global operations and to promoting sustainable business practices in travel and tourism. www.sabre.com

The Still Missing Unambiguous Admission to the Controlled Demolition of WTC 7
This short video combines footage of the "collapse" of WTC 7 (as well as WTC 7 eyewitness statements, news reports, etc) together with Mechanical Engineer Tony Szamboti talking about WTC 7 and his recollection of hearing Larry Silverstein say - during a 2004 episode of 'History's Business' on the History Channel - that, quote: "Building 7 was a controlled demolition".
This is not to be confused with Larry Silverstein's controversial 2002, PBS "Pull it" quote. This is something else altogether.
Tony also speaks briefly about his unsuccessful attempts to get hold of a copy of this episode of History's Business.
Please distribute this video widely (share links, make copies etc,) to bring attention to the issue of this elusive History Channel episode, and to the controlled demolition of WTC 7.
Larry Silverstein Said WTC 7 Was a Controlled Demolition? (NOT the "Pull it" quote)
9/11 Free Fall 12/11/14: Dr. Niels Harrit
Dr. Niels Harrit is professor of chemistry at the University of Copenhagen and is one of the key authors of the WTC nano-thermite paper. In this episode of 9/11Free Fall he lays out the evidence in that paper and also discusses a lawsuit he's filed in response to ridiculous attacks on him in the press. He also offers insight into the assault on intellectual freedom that arose in society as a result of the 9/11 cover-up.

How I Woke Up
We've just passed the 13th anniversary of 9/11 and now, more than ever, individuals on all sides of the 9/11 spectrum are demanding to know more about what really happened on that day. On one side you have the co-chairs of the 9/11 commission report, Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean, who have called for the 28 classified pages of the 9/11 commission report to be released in the public eye. As more and more congressmen and senators read those pages for themselves, a growing coalition on the right and left is forming behind a bill that would declassify them for all to see. On the other side of the 9/11 spectrum you have Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911 Truth) making unprecedented ground in their cause. AE911 Truth is a major force behind the High Rise Safety Initiative, which has collected tens of thousands of signatures from New Yorkers and is currently fighting and appealing various legal battles to ensure a ballot measure will be put to the voters that would require the NYC Department of Buildings to investigate the causes of high-rise building collapses in New York City, starting with World Trade Center 7. AE911 Truth has also put up a video billboard in Times Square this month showing millions of New Yorkers the 6.7 second collapse of WTC 7 and challenging them to "Rethink 911".
But for the 9/11 truth movement, one of the most exciting events is a new documentary called Anatomy of a Great Deception. It has been getting great reviews from the 9/11 truth community and Richard Gage, founder of AE911 Truth, is calling it "the best chance in years to push the 9/11 debate into the mainstream". So what is so revolutionary about this movie? Does it have new information or new evidence? No, the hype around this documentary is not because of the evidence it presents, but the way it presents it. It's not overloaded with ten thousand questions and puzzle pieces of evidence concerning the various reasons to doubt the official story. Instead, it's a personal story, a story of how one man stumbled upon an innocent question that lead him to another question, and then to another, until months later he was on the brink of personal disaster. David Hooper is a successful businessman and entrepreneur; and in this very personal film he relates how his research destroyed his world view and almost ruined his most precious relationships with his wife, family and friends.
As Hooper describes the genesis of this film, "to preserve my sanity and save my marriage, I began assembling footage to visually relay what I had found for my wife, my sister, and a couple of dear friends. This footage turned into the documentary The Anatomy of a Great Deception." Hooper's amateur documentary succeeded to convince his family where other documentaries failed. As word of mouth spread, Hooper decided to raise money to take his film to the next level and professionally release it so that others in the 9/11 truth community could share it with the people in their lives.
Several years ago, for various reasons, I decided that I would not promote 9/11 truth in the same way that I unashamedly promote libertarianism and Austrian economics. Yet, I can't honestly describe how I've come to be the person I am today and carry the beliefs that I do without going back to 9/11. More specifically, not 9/11, but WTC 7. Like Hooper, that building shattered my world view and set me on a course of investigation that would completely transform my belief system. So in the same spirit that Hooper took when telling his story, I will tell mine. My purpose is not to try to convince anyone to accept my beliefs, I've given up on that long ago. I merely hope this will help others understand my journey.
Lee Hamilton - the debate about WTC 7 continues
Lee Hamilton -- Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission -- admits that the debate about what destroyed WTC 7 on 9/11 still continues when he's asked about it on C-SPAN's Washington Journal on September 12th, 2014.
Raw Story Covers WTC 7 Digital Billboard in NYC
"Truthers commemorate 9/11 with Times Square ad showing WTC 7 imploding on infinite loop"
A group calling itself Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is commemorating the thirteenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center by displaying a massive digital advertisement in Times Square that purports to show World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) falling in a controlled demolition.
"WTC 7 came down in a classic controlled demolition," the advertisement claims. "The government says fire brought it down, but anyone who watches the video can see otherwise." Behind those words, video of WTC 7 falling repeats on a loop.
The digital advertisement is 15 seconds long, and will be displayed on 45-foot by 45-foot screens that will be visible, the group claims, to almost 100,000 people daily — including employees of The New York Times.
Dan Rather's Most Interesting and Controversial 9/11 Reports
As the anchorman for CBS News, Dan Rather was part of numerous breaking stories on the day of 9/11 and its immediate aftermath. Several of these reports have disturbing implications regarding the nature of the attacks and the perpetrators. Here are some prime examples:
"Amazing, incredible... pick your word. For the 3rd time today.... it's reminiscent of the those pictures we've all seen too much on television before where a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down." Dan called it like he saw it. There are now 2,300 architects and engineers who agree: www.ae911truth.org
William Binney– former NSA Technical Director-- signs AE911Truth petition
9/11 Free Fall 8/28/14: William Binney– Former NSA Technical Director
William Binney is a former highly placed intelligence official with the United States National Security Agency (NSA) who, after more than 30 years of service, resigned in 2001 and became a whistleblower exposing the NSA's unconstitutional programs. He is also a recent signatory of AE911Truth's petition calling for a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 on 9/11. In this interview he talks about why he signed the petition, the NSA's spying program, and offers some words of advice to the 9/11 Truth movement on how to pursue justice through official channels.

Bob McIlvaine: "Let us come together to support the High-Rise Safety Initiative"
Dear Friend,
My name is Bob McIlvaine. My son, Bobby, was murdered on 9/11 along with nearly 3,000 other innocent people.
I am writing you today as a member of NYC CAN to ask for your support of the High-Rise Safety Initiative - a ballot initiative we are sponsoring that will require the City of New York to launch a new investigation into the destruction of WTC 7.
To put this measure on the ballot, we need to gather 110,000 signatures, and to fund our petition drive we must raise $250,000 by June 1st.
This strategy is not guaranteed to succeed, but it is promising, and one we must try.
Our petition drive can only go forward if 3,000 people come together to support the campaign. Over 400 people have donated so far.
Will you help us reach 3,000? Please go to HighRiseSafetyNYC.org to contribute.
We are counting on you.

You've asked for NIST accountability - Here is your chance
Did you know 2013 was a breakthrough year in our efforts to hold NIST accountable?
For years we have known that Building 7 came down in free-fall and that the NIST report failed to explain why. We knew that NIST's collapse model looked nothing like the actual collapse, and that NIST's "probable collapse sequence" was anything but probable.
But in 2013, NIST's explanation went from highly improbable to absolutely impossible, thanks to the discovery that NIST deliberately omitted critical structural features from its model – features that make the supposed collapse initiation impossible. With this new discovery, we have the evidence to prove definitively that Building 7 could not have collapsed as NIST says it did.
NSA Whistleblower Thomas Drake admits WTC 7 a controlled demolition
In an interview conducted by OpEdNews.com founder Rob Kall and posted Jan. 22, 2014, entitled "Whistleblower Former NSA Exec Thomas Drake On Obama's Speech, Bengazi, 911 and more- part 1 (&2), Thomas Drake makes the claim that WTC 7 was brought down because of the damage it received from the destruction of the twin towers. In an interview spanning many topics from Benghazi to 9/11 foreknowledge, Mr Drake is asked specifically about the destruction of the WTC complex. He was asked around the 50:00 mark of part 1. However, his evaded responding until just after the 24:00 mark of part 2. He states he remains unconvinced and adamantly proclaims there is "no evidence" that the twin towers were brought down by controlled demolition. But in a stunning admission he adds quote "...and building 7, by the way, came down in part..they had to bring it down because it was severely damaged from the towers falling"

Tell the NY TImes: The Evidence Isn't Hard to Find...
The text below was contained in an email action alert received this evening (Dec 23rd) from http://www.ae911truth.org :
Tell the NY TImes:
The Evidence Isn't Hard to Find...If You Just Look
Yesterday New York Times Chief Washington Correspondent David Sanger was the guest on CSPAN's Washington Journal, where he had this to say about Building 7's collapse:
"We have not found any evidence so far – that doesn't mean there's none there – but we've not found any evidence so far to suggest that the building collapses were caused by anything other than the two airplanes that flew into them."
Sanger was responding to a question from a caller who wanted to know why, despite the massive billboard standing right outside the New York Times Building, the paper of record had failed to "fairly and objectively cover this crucial issue."
Now with a senior representative of the New York Times on the record saying, "We've not found any evidence so far," it is time to let Sanger and the editors know that the evidence is there. All they need to do is look and they'll easily find it. Contact the NY Times Today!
Last week over 1,000 people contacted the BBC in response to our action alert regarding the BBC's one-sided article on the ReThink911 campaign. Let's surpass that level of support today. Please take 2 minutes right now to contact David Sanger and the NY Times editors. Just copy-paste the letter below, or write your own. Please be sure to Bcc us at AE911Truth so that we can keep a count of how many emails are sent.

Dear Mr. Sanger and Editors of the New York Times,
On Sunday, December 23, 2013, you, Mr. Sanger, told a caller on CSPAN's Washington Journal that the New York Times had not found any evidence so far to suggest that the collapse of WTC Building 7 was caused by anything other than an indirect result of the airplanes flying into the Twin Towers. I am writing to tell you that the evidence is indeed there, and I urge you to look into it. 2,100 architects and engineers have signed a petition at AE911Truth.org calling for a new investigation based on this evidence. The following points are just a few from among the growing body of evidence that overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that Building 7 came down by controlled demolition.
Building 7 accelerated downward at absolute free-fall for the first few seconds of its 7-second symmetrical collapse.
However, a building cannot undergo free-fall if it is meeting any resistance from any of the columns below it, as any resistance would slow the building's descent.
Therefore, the lower section of the building could not have been "crushed" by the upper freely falling section.
The destruction of at least 8 stories of the lower section of the building had to have been accomplished by other means, i.e. explosives or incendiaries, to allow the upper section of the building to fall through it in free-fall. Learn more about the free-fall of Building 7.
There is clear evidence of melted steel at Building 7, first reported on by the NY Times, and incendiaries in numerous dust samples from Ground Zero.
As you well understand, the implications of the controlled demolition of Building 7 are extraordinary, since it is integral to the 9/11 events, and therefore the question of what happened to Building 7 is of the greatest importance. I thank you in advance for taking the time to seriously examine this crucial issue.
[Name, address]

Dear Friends and Supporters of ReThink911,
We did it!
Yesterday, the ReThink911 campaign reached its fundraising goal of $225,000. Thanks to you, eleven cities and countless millions throughout the world will come to learn about the freefall destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 this September. Your commitment, generosity, and faith in our vision are what have brought us to this point. On behalf of everyone at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and all of the ReThink911 coalition members, I want you to know that we are eternally grateful for the very generous support that you have shown.
Our fundraising this past week was so successful that in just five days we were able to raise the final $25,000 we needed—and then some! The additional $2,300 we raised up through yesterday will now be used as the seed money for the next all-important piece of our September efforts: a new Public Opinion Poll to be officially released in the week leading up to September 11th.

MOVIE REVIEW: Split has a troubled, dark, and twisted personality
The latest creepy thriller from M. Night Shyamalan recalls his horror roots
(SPOT.ph) To say that M. Night Shyamalan has had a strange career is an understatement. He started with critical and box-office hits in the form of the Bruce Willis trilogy of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. What followed was misfire after misfire, including bombs like The Happening, The Last Airbender, and After Earth. In 2015, however, Shyamalan made The Visit, a simple and effective found footage horror film that made people take notice. He continues his comeback tour with an even more ambitious psychological horror that harkens back to his roots. Split is far from perfect, but with great help from a terrific lead, it's a step in the right direction.
Split begins with three teenage girls (Anya Taylor-Joy, Jessica Sula, and Haley Lu Richardson) being abducted by a terrifyingly intimidating man. He locks them in some kind of windowless room underground, and the three girls must figure out how to escape. Before long, they hear a very proper British woman arrive. When the door opens, they are confused to find out it is the same man but in a dress and heels. Soon, the same man comes back, but this time as a curious and naive nine-year-old boy.
This man is Kevin (a terrific James McAvoy), who is diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (a.k.a. multiple personality disorder). Through visits with Kevin's psychologist (Betty Buckley), we discover Kevin has 23 distinct personalities. Unbeknowst to his psychologist, a few of Kevin's personalities are quite dangerous and capable of nefarious things. These personalities believe that a 24th personality is about to emerge—supposedly the most powerful of all, with some very wicked plans in store for the three captives. Meanwhile, the three girls must try and connect with Kevin's more docile personalities in hopes of escaping.
Although McAvoy is listed as playing a character who has 24 different personalities, we only really see him play about eight. Despite this, the always versatile McAvoy makes the most out of it. From a British woman to an American nine-year-old to a flamboyant fashion designer, McAvoy is campy goodness. The script tends to rely on wordy philosophies and airy language, but McAvoy makes the words seem deep and important even when they're not. The rest of the cast are fine, but sometimes fall into B-movie territory. An exception is Taylor-Joy who, so great in 2015 horror film The Witch, does fantastic work even with basic "girl in a horror film" material.
Multiple personalities aren't exactly new to cinema, and Split isn't changing the narrative too much from the likes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Psycho. Like those films, Split is not going to help improve the stigma on mental disorders. Dissociative identity disorder is quite a controversial diagnosis among the medical field, so this movie isn't exactly going to help in the science—not that it was ever intended to. The film can, however, feel exploitative, using a studied problem as basis for a creepy guy doing creepy things. The film tries to tackle some mental issues through Kevin's psychologist but it never really feels genuine, choosing to scare instead of teach.
That being said, Split doesn't really scare. At the very most, it will creep audiences out through some of the strange things Kevin's personalities get themselves into. There are also some very dark and morbid twists in the third act that will make some cringe, but this isn't a film designed to make you jump out of your seats. Shyamalan returns to his early work by building tension through atmosphere and visuals. A dark hallway, a crack in the wall are basic things you find in many horror films, but there's no need to go too complex for Shyamalan. Here, he goes for the simplistic terror, which works wonders paired with cinematographer Michael Gioulakis (the visually splendid It Follows) and McAvoy's creepy portrayal.
Split isn't one of the best things you'll see in theaters, nor is it going to be one of the scariest, but it will fill you with chilling tension. It's also the mark of a director finding himself again. Split may not change the game like some of Shyamalan's early films, but it is very good progress. He's finding the things that work for him again, which is less complexity, twists, and exposition, and more built-up terror and showing rather than telling. If Shyamalan continues on this path, maybe he'll come up with another original idea that really brings him back to the top.
RATING: 2.5 out of 5 spots
Split opens in theaters on January 18. Photos courtesy of Columbia Pictures.

The power of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn has grown to be vast and has been very life-changing for millions of people across the world in recent years. So life-changing in fact that people are now using these sites to secure their employment in a dream job or within an industry that they were struggling to get into before.
Even employers are now so social media savvy that when it comes to making a hiring decision, they will often check out candidates online profiles before offering them a job. This is why you have to be so careful about what you post and where you post online. From an employer's point of view, they would expect a candidate to have a positive and active profile on networks where you would expect people within the industry to hang out and spend their time.
You may well be seriously into online gaming in your spare time, but you wouldn't use the same profile picture or post the same information to your LinkedIn profile that you share with others on gaming fan pages on Facebook!
Making the most of the time you spend using social media
When you know it is time to get serious in your search for that perfect job, you should first identify the main social media networks that best suit your industry. You may be posting some amazing content on Pinterest, but if this is a network that is not really popular with your industry, you may well be sharing your content where no one of significance will ever see it.
By defining where your peers choose to hang out and posting onto that platform instead, you will be building a positive profile where potential new employers will go to look first when checking out your background and suitability for a job.
Create Positive Online Profiles
No matter which platforms you need to post to when making yourself look attractive to employers, your profile needs to be magnetic. You need to draw in your readers and then deliver them with good quality content. LinkedIn is the Facebook of the business world, so you should always ensure you have an up to date and professional looking profile here with a smart and clear head and shoulders profile picture. Employers what to know who they are looking at, so steer clear of using pictures of your cute dog or fluffy cat.
Decide what information you are going to share online. Think about what potential employers will be looking for or will want to know about you. Showcase your skills, qualifications and experience, but never define yourself with a single job title. Labeling yourself with a job title can be a negative sometimes. Potential employers can quickly pigeon hole you into that role without really appreciating the many different skills you may have that would be a good fit for a different role. This is something that anyone wishing to change career must never do. You have to give potential new employers the chance to see you in the role you want rather than the role you have been doing and want to move away from.
Be a real human on social media
Be active on social media. Simply posting a profile and then never visiting the site isn't going to be enough. You cannot impress anyone if you are never around to engage with them. Having a stale timeline and a dull and empty account is a real turn off for employers who are looking for staff that will actively engage with their team and co-workers, both inside and outside of the workplace.
Take the time to create posts that can show off your thinking and writing skills. Employers want to know that there is a thoughtful and analytical person behind your profile. Showcase your skill-set and post related content that you create to demonstrate your skills and willingness to learn new things.
Follow My Leader
You should pay attention to and follow organizations in your chosen sector to see what they are posting on social media. Keeping up to date with what they are doing or have planned for the future can be valuable information to glean and use to your advantage should you choose to apply to any of these companies for a job in the near future.
The golden rule of using social media platforms to land yourself a job is to never give a potential employer viewing your profile anything to give them doubt. It could be a massive missed opportunity!

The figures are building toward this entire show, and fans today feel that The Mountain celebrity Hafthór Björnsson shown the Cleganebowl will ultimately occur in Season 2. . .so I can not talk about it." Back in Season 1, it is established the Hound's face is disfigured when The Mountain burnt his brother punishment for playing one of his possessions. The Hound suffered a life of abuse with his brother, and it has grown to hate him. In Episode Five Season 1, we see both temporarily engage in conflict. The Mountain is defeated at a jousting competition by Ser Loras Tyrell, and ambushes the youthful knight in anger. Lots of fans were convinced that the Cleganebowl could occur in Season Seven throughout the assembly between Cersei and Daenerys, but it never happened.
Now, given Björnsson's remark, lovers on Reddit seem fairly sure that this affirms the Cleganebowl will eventually occur, and they are going nuts.The previous two seasons of Game of Thrones online happen to be pretty much nothing but fan assistance, which is the previous concept that's yet to occur. The question still remains, who'll win this conflict? Last week, Björnsson posted a photograph of himself Instagram as The Mountain seeming somewhat worse than usual. We'll know for certain once the series returns for the final season .There's been lots of speculation about what's going to happen to the characters in the end of the HBO collection.And while there has been a plethora of passing predictions for game of thrones watch online free, there has been some amorous ones also.
Fans have been imagining about what might happen and a number of them have invented quite intriguing theories.Redditor VixToonsDesign composed:"Gendry/Arya I keep hearing a great deal about the potential love relationship of Gendry and Arya and I despise it!Arya's fate was to not settle down and become a wife. But that's something Sansa desired. Sansa also wished to wed King Robert's kid to become Queen."What if in S08 we've got the beautiful reunion of Gendry and Arya however Arya introduces Gendry into Sansa, a knowing grin on her face as Gendry is blown off by Sansa."The two hit it off and eventually Sansa finds herself using a good man and after he's made fictitious by Jon, Gendry is responsible for the throne with his spouse Sansa."But there is more to the concept, since it would also be consistent with a prophecy at the sequence.

Today's website Lenten Reflection comes from Fr. Robert Barron. Father discusses the correlation between sin and our fear of death.
What is our greatest fear? Ultimately, it's the fear of death. The final dark power that rends the world is the power of death.
What flows from our fear of death? The spiritual masters all agree that what flows is sin and division in all its forms.
I lash out in violence and retribution because I'm afraid to die. The same fear causes me to turn in on myself, becoming self-absorbed as you become an enemy. The fear of death is like a dark cloud that broods over human life. Therefore, when God's warrior arrives, the ultimate enemy he comes to face is death itself. And he engages the enemy at close quarters.
A warrior who never fights at close quarters won't win. So Jesus goes into violence, into dysfunction, and into the lack of forgiveness, and that's where he brings God's love. In fact, he must go all the way into the power of death itself in order to wrestle it to the ground. That's the language the Church Fathers use, by the way. The cross is Jesus going into the very lair of death. He goes to meet head-on that which frightens us the most. And what does He do? He battles it. He engages it. And finally he conquers it.
Remember Jesus Himself said that, "No one can plunder the house of a strong man unless a stronger one comes and ties him up." The strong man is death itself. No one will conquer death until a stronger one comes and ties him up. Jesus is the very strength of God now tying up the strong man of death."

As the human population continues to grow and places increasing demands on the planet we inhabit we face the biggest challenge of our time: how can we exploit the natural resources available to us be it for water, food, or energy in a way that preserves the environment, and doesn't compromise its long-term future.
Environment, Development and Sustainability represents an examination of these three integrated issues that form the main ongoing challenge of this century. Looking beyond developing countries, this book presents examples from around the globe, reflecting the way that development is not a finished state: North America, the EU countries and Australasia continue to develop (and conversely have pockets of awful deprivation), and environment, development and sustainability are as much intertwined in these regions as elsewhere in the world.
With contributions from technologists, engineers, natural scientists and social scientists Environment, Development and Sustainability presents multiple perspectives on the issue of sustainable development.
