Thoughts About Calling In Sick To Work
YourCareerDoctor has a few thoughts about calling in sick.
When it comes to calling in sick, there are two types of people.
The first type is someone who is genuinely sick and or needs a mental health day. People in this category use sick days to rest and recover. On occasion, it is a good idea to use a sick day to maintain your mental health (deal with stress, relax or refresh).
The other type of person is someone who is disengaged. According to a 2017 Gallop poll, disengaged workers represent between 33% and 49% of the workforce. More commonly, disengaged workers feel undervalued, not respected, and unchallenged. These feelings lead to the desire to call in sick more often. Calling in sick represents an avenue to escape dissatisfaction at work.
As a career coach, I've had many conversations with workers who are disengaged and dissatisfied with their job. I always encourage them to find a resolution to stay in their position or find a new job. If you find yourself in a situation where you are not happy at work and have tried everything else to resolve your problems, you may want to consider getting another job. At YourCareerDoctor, we firmly believe you have the power to own your career (#ownmycareer). With that in mind, we encourage you to visit our job board to view open positions.

STANDING TRX with Lauren
This WOW is designed to strengthen your legs, hips, and core.
TIME: 15 – 20 minutes
DIFFICULTY: All levels
EQUIPMENT: TRX suspension straps plus an anchor point
FOCUS: Strength, Core, Stability
INTRO: *Having strong leg and calf muscles is an important part of developing advanced climbing technique! And it often gets overshadowed by arm and upper body strength.
*This WOW is designed to strengthen your hip, leg, and core stabilizers while doing standing work versus mat work.
*These 2 exercises will require coordination and balance, both important skills to develop for climbers and athletes alike!
STEP 1. Stand facing the anchor (pull-up bar), with your body slightly angled backwards. Keep the TRX straps taut with your arms straight in front of you.
STEP 2. Now stand on one leg while keeping your back, arms, and legs straight. Keep your arms straight in front, with your palms facing down.
STEP 3. Hinge forward on your hips, keeping your standing leg straight and the opposing leg extended straight back behind you; keep your back flat, and your arms will extend overhead with your elbows close to your ears.
STEP 4. Squeeze your core and hold this position for a few breaths. Then slowly stand back up keeping your leg straight.
STEP 5. Repeat 10 times on each leg.
*VARIATION – You can do a two-legged version to work more legs than core. Add-in the one-legged squat to further work your core and leg muscles.
STEP 1. Stand facing away from the anchor point, with arms and TRX straps extended overhead, body in a straight line, slightly angled forward, legs shoulder width apart, and stood up on your tiptoes.
STEP 2. Lower down into a deep squat bringing your arms down so palms are facing out and even with ears (cactus arms), knees behind toes, as your weight shifts back into your heels.
STEP 3. Extend back up to the standing position; engaging your core, legs, arms, to maintain a tight body throughout your squat and maintain standing on your tiptoes.
STEP 4. Keep squatting for 30 secs, rest 10 secs, repeat 3 more times.
*VARIATION – Try balancing on one leg and opposite arm extended to work obliques and crossbody balance.

A holiday tradition in Emerson's family is everyone receives a book. Essentially, that's the only "physical" gift they will get. Their big gift is a family activity, like a road trip to the caves of Kentucky or a trip to Memphis to see the Civil Rights Museum or a trip to Chicago to explore museums.
My mini-challenge is: What book would you give as a holiday gift and why?
Extra entry: If you chose to pass on other holiday gifts, and instead decide to take a road trip within reasonable distance of your home (so it's affordable) where would you take a few days off to spend quality time with your loved one(s)?
International: A copy of HELLO? from The Book Depository
I would take a mini day trip to Hearst Castle, I have never been and it is so close! I would give out a variety of books. One of my favorites so far this season and would gift is Christmas at the Castle by Melissa McClone.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. It is one of my favorite books I read this year and the main character is so relatable.
If I were to take a trip this holiday season it would probably be to Branson, MO. It's only a few hours from where I live and it's a fun, family friendly place to visit.
I love gifting out a copy of The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley. I think I've given it as a gift at least 3 times. It's honestly such a good book and I was so emotional when I was reading it.
I'm giving a copy of Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. This book got me excited about reading YA again. I'm giving it along with another book that is mention in Everything, Everything and on a friend's wishlist.
KM, I have never heard of Hearst Castle, so I'm going to look it up! Thank you for sharing!!!
Kimberly, never been to Branson, MO, so I am curious to find out how far it is from Milwaukee. I love road trips! And YES! Love Rainbow Rowell's FANGIRL!
Gabriella, I have to admit that I'm not familiar with that book, but most definitely need to check it out. That's high praise! Thanks for sharing!
Joli, outstanding choice! Thank you for hosting the Readathon!
The Legend of Holly Claus is a beautiful book that I'd give out for the holidays; it has the loveliest illustrations and is a fantastic story for all ages.
Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Snowed In by Rachel Hawthorne! It's the perfect read to curl up by the fire with this winter. It's short, sweet and full of fluff. 🙂
Alyssa, thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
I hope you do. It's actually an adult debut from a few years ago.
It's actually only a few dollars at bookoutlet. Gorgeous cover, deckled edges. http://bookoutlet.com/Store/Details/9780062194176B/the-promise-of-stardust

Parallel Verses
New International Version
Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?
King James Bible
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
Darby Bible Translation
and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
World English Bible
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
Young's Literal Translation
and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
John 7:26 Parallel
CommentaryClarke's Commentary on the Bible
That this is the very Christ? - In most of the common printed editions αληθως is found, the Very Christ; but the word is wanting in BDKLTX, twenty-two others, several editions; all the Arabic, Wheelock's Persic, the Coptic, Sahidic, Armenian, Slavonic, Vulgate, and all the Itala but one, Origen, Epiphanius, Cyril, Isidore, Pelusian, and Nonnus. Grotius, Mill, Bengel, and Griesbach, decide against it. Bishop Pearce says, I am of opinion that this second αληθως, in this verse, should be omitted, it seeming quite unnecessary, if not inaccurate, when the words αληθως εγνωσαν, had just preceded it.
Calmet observes that the multitude which heard our Lord at this time was composed of three different classes of persons:
1. The rulers, priests, and Pharisees, declared enemies of Christ.
2. The inhabitants of Jerusalem, who knew the sentiments of their rulers concerning him.
3. The strangers, who from different quarters had come up to Jerusalem to the feast, and who heard Christ attentively, being ignorant of the designs of the rulers, etc., against him.
Our Lord addresses himself in this discourse principally to his enemies. The strange Jews were those who were astonished when Christ said, John 7:20, that they sought to kill him, having no such design themselves, and not knowing that others had. And the Jews of Jerusalem were those who, knowing the disposition of the rulers, and seeing Christ speak openly, no man attempting to seize him, addressed each other in the foregoing words, Do the rulers know indeed that this is the Christ? imagining that the chief priests, etc., had at last been convinced that Jesus was the Messiah.

Blog Blessings
When I began The DayMaker, I really had no notion of the blessings that would come my way. Almost daily, dear old and new friends are contacting me. Each comment on the blog site or on facebook, and every email response, reconnects me with friends, some of whom I haven't corresponded or talked with for awhile. Whether the contact results in a lengthy dialog or a quick exchange, I'm delighted to hear from them.
There's nothing like reconnecting. It's not about re-living the past, even though a bit of reminiscing goes on. It's about pulling the threads and tightening up the time-and- distance-worn fabric of our lives. Wrapping ourselves in the warmth of people who've known us is mighty comforting. It's just one blessing from my blog.

Pathways to Forgiveness
- Give up needing to know why the behavior happened; that isn't necessary for forgiveness. Plus, it's rare that knowing why changes how hurt you were then.
- Make a list of what was actually done that caused you pain. This is different from what you felt.
- Think about your part. Did you allow the behavior by not being forthcoming about the hurt you felt? Did you stay when you should or could have left?
- Make a list of all that you gained during the relationship. What positives came out of it? This helps you look at the whole context and see that there was more to the relationship than the bad parts.
- Write a letter to the person where you acknowledge what you gained from the relationship and express forgiveness for the hurts that he caused. There is no need to mail this letter; its value is in getting your feelings out on paper.
- Create a ritual or ceremony in which you get rid of your lists and the letter you wrote. This is symbolic of breaking the link between you and the other person. Personally, I've burned photos and lists on the rocks at the beach at sunset.
- Visualize yourself free from the hold that feeding your grudges had on you. Feel yourself growing lighter and more joyous.
- Move forward without looking back in anger.

'It Was Probably Easily The Best Moment Of My Life'
Prince Albert, SK – A year ago, Ozzy Wiesblatt joined his family – save for his two older brothers – at a family friend's house to watch the WHL Bantam Draft on TV.
As the names passed, the 5'9, 175-lb forward from Calgary saw his name get called by the Raiders with the third pick in the second round of the draft.
"Once I got drafted, it was probably easily the best moment of my life," said Wiesblatt.
Getting picked in the draft was something he had always dreamt of, he added. And while it was a big relief to see his name on the board, he knew it wasn't the end of the process.
"Once you get drafted, that's when the real hard work starts," he explained. "Just because you get drafted doesn't mean you're on the team or anything. My first initial thought was the hard work starts now and I've got to earn it."
The work continued for Wiesblatt with the Calgary Buffaloes in the AMHL. In 33 games, he scored 21 goals and added 20 assists to finish eighth overall in league scoring.
Over the course of the season, he noted his mental game and speed were two of his skills that improved the most.
"Just because I have a bad shift or something, that doesn't affect me the next shift. If anything, it motivates me to do better the next shift. Even just my speed. I think nowadays you've got to be fast and I think that's something I really improved on so far."
Wiesblatt was also one of three Raiders picked in last May's draft to make their WHL debuts in their hometowns when he suited up against the Hitmen at the Scotiabank Saddledome. He got the call regarding his debut the night before when he was in Edmonton taking in an Oilers game.
"Playing at the Saddledome where I grew up watching all of my hockey and always (hoping) someday I'd play there and it finally happened."
Heading into the game, Wiesblatt was feeling nervous excitement, but was welcome with open arms into the locker room. After taking some time to get the jitters out in the first period, he started to feel comfortable and began to think he could make an impact on the game.
And he did. Wiesblatt tallied his first career goal when he slid a shot through Nick Schneider at the 3:42 mark of the third.
OZZY! Someone get that puck! @ozzywiesblatt scores his first career WHL goal to put us up 3-1! pic.twitter.com/sIiwpkgTiy
— Prince Albert Raiders (@PARaidersHockey) January 22, 2018
"Going into the game, I wasn't expecting to score, that's for sure," he said. "I think right when I scored I blacked out a little bit. I didn't know what was happening. That was a really good feeling."
As his year is now in the off-season, Wiesblatt is already preparing for next year with the goal of making the jump to the WHL. His off-season goals are to get stronger and faster to make that jump more successful.
And with this year's WHL Bantam Draft coming up, Wiesblatt's message to this year's crop of draft picks was to not overthink it.
"Once you get to go there and meet everyone, it's amazing," Wiesblatt said. "The fans there are second to none and they treat you like part of the family. It's unreal. I'm really happy where I ended up and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way."
The 2018 WHL Bantam Draft will be held on Thursday in Red Deer, AB. The draft begins at 8:30 a.m. and can be streamed on WHL.ca.
Prince Albert Raiders season tickets for the 2018-19 campaign are available for purchase. Visit the Raider Office or call 306-764-5348 for more information.
Also coming up at the Art Hauser Centre is the Clunie-Cooper Memorial PBR on Friday and Saturday night. Tickets start at $30 per person per night and include a pre- and post-show cabaret. Pick up your tickets at the Raider Office or by calling 306-764-5348.

(REUTERS) - Ferrari's 2014 Formula One car will be called the F14 T after an online poll of fans, the Italian motor-racing team said on Friday.
They said 1,123,741 votes were cast from 208 countries - as far afield as Palau, Greenland and Equatorial Guinea - over nine days from Jan 15 to 23, with the winning designation beating F166 Turbo by just 19,104.
Fans were given a choice of five names to vote for.
"It's nice to know the name of the car has been chosen by our fans," team principal Stefano Domenicali told the team website (www.ferrari.com).
"The amazing number of votes shows just how popular Ferrari has always been and this will be, as always, a further impetus for us to do well this year."
Ferrari have a line-up of champions this season with Finland's 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen returning to Maranello from Lotus as team-mate to Spain's double champion Fernando Alonso.
The Italian team, who finished third overall last year, will unveil the new car online on Saturday.

Life as an understudy is the fascinating one. At one minute you are stressed over an exam and the exact next minute you are going to a bar with your companions for letting off steam. Understudy convenience implies that understudies who are searching for luxury flat after higher examinations look for a place in the fundamental urban areas to settle down.
The decision relies upon what sort of instruction is given in that piece of the city. Numerous understudies leave the places where they grew up and advance toward where they realize that elevated expectation of instruction is accessible.
This new pattern is rising rapidly. The officially accessible convenience to the understudies by the colleges is unequipped for holding such a large number of individuals so the understudies must choose the option to look a place for smashing.
These sorts of interest for understudy houses to lease Leeds have prompted the production of understudy zones. In Leeds, there are many low lease lodgings which are close to the instructive colleges and are likewise in the focal point of the city.
Being in the focal piece of the city the understudies are offered with different recreation exercises, for example, motion picture lobbies, bars, sports clubs, and rack center. The total protection is given to understudies so as to keep them serene surroundings for the examinations.
Likewise arranged sustenance is additionally given in the event that they have a financial plan in which they can bear the cost of it. Numerous landowners are taking in understudies as the cash is great. Fewer occurrences of any inconvenience have been accounted for. Landowners need to avoid potential risk before giving settlement to anybody.

An Autumnal Reading List
I am all about Autumn. I have already got my favourite Diptyque candle burning, cosy blankets washed and fluffed on the sofa and comfy slippers ready to keep to cold toes at bay. What do you need to add to this abundance of Hygge? A good book. One that keeps you on the edge of your seat or something thats takes your mind off your day, week, month. This weekend when I had a lazy Sunday and all of the above, I curled up with a mug of tea and read one of my favourites, Jane Eyre. I have read it a hundred times but its such a good comfort read and I can pick it up and sink straight into it on any page knowing exactly what's going on. To me this is the perfect Autumnal reading book with the perfect love triangle, gloomy weather and gothic twist. Perfect for the cold, dark days ahead.
I have also started re-reading "The Curated Closet" by Anuschka Rees as I've actually started my own wee Capsule. I read the first few chapters when I got it last Christmas but thought it was wasted on me at the time as I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to concentrate on curating a Capsule Wardrobe but now after a huge clear out and planning I'm on a mission and have been drinking her advice in.
I don't think a Podcast classes as a reading list but I'm chucking it in here anyway. I have been loving the second series of Lily & Anna's "At Home With" podcast and listen to it in my commute to work. I bloody love these girls and this series is so inspirational and makes you want to be a #Girlboss. Their guests this season are on point but my faves all lie in there last series with the likes of Caroline Hirons and Kate Spiers from Kate La Vie.
Some blogs I have been reading at the moment have all become little hives of Autumnal inspiration as everyone goes into a frenzy with the change in season. I love reading peoples Autumnal goals, wish lists and style/beauty transitions for the cooler months. My faves so far are The Anna Edit for her amazing Autumnal Capsule Wardrobe as this gal knows her stuff. Another blog getting me into the spirit is Sophie from Sophie's Make Up. Her posts make me want to be a child again collecting conkers and reading Harry Potter whilst sipping hot chocolate. A new one for me is Signe's blog Useless. I am captivated by her way of sustainable living reusing and repurposing clothes to make seasonal capsules whilst being sustainable and still looking chic and scandi af. Her blog has been a firm favourite in the last few weeks helping me plan my Autumn Capsule and her YouTube vids are super helpful.
What have you been reading so far Autumn?

Beginnings of a Capsule Wardrobe
/ Style
For many moons now I have coveted the concept of the capsule wardrobe. I am not great when it comes to clothes, I literally have no style and live in jeans and a comfy top 24/7 and my workdays consist of a uniform so when it comes to the weekend I just throw on the comfiest and cleanest items available. After being a long time fan of Anna from The Anna Edit I've finally got my bum into gear and got rid of my entire wardrobe (the remnants of old H&M and Zara tees) ready to start curating a capsule for the autumn/winter months. I thought it would be pretty difficult but now I have a plan I'm pretty excited and have already started ticking things off my list. I started using the app 'Stylebook' just to get to grips with it all and I am absolutely loving it. I scoured Pinterest for outfits I like and have made inspiration folders on the app made up of different seasons. After looking at the Autumn/Winter clothes I wrote a list of the items I liked most and have started to purchase them ready to wear. Most people stick to a number per seasonal capsule but for now as I'm starting from scratch I'm just adding in what I need but I know it probably won't be more than 20 pieces! If that! Most people also tend to purchase their clothes from high end stores, ready to invest in their wardrobe but as I'm starting out and don't have £160 to drop on a blouse for now I'm sticking to the high street. I choosing to stick to places like Whistles, Marks & Spencer and Next, where I can get a mixture of quality high street pieces that won't break the bank but are good quality. I'm learning to spend £50+ on one good knit rather than opting to go the cheap route and get say 3 tops for the same price in New Look. My list is already half completed and I'm actually enjoying clothes shopping which is new for me!
For me I actually do wear boots in Winter and have kept my black pair of Chelsea boots from Clarke's. They're about three years old now and they do the job. They slip on and are so comfy after all the wear and tear and feel they are a classic and could be a key piece in my new A/W wardrobe. I just need to make sure i give them some TLC and invest in some shoe/leather polish because that's what grown ups do!
I went to town here and bought three of the same coat from New Look. I know. I did just l did just say I was going to avoid New Look, but they actually had a style of coats that I wanted and at £35 each. I bought the grey, camel, and black and I pretty excited to get some wear out of them. They're a structured pea coat style and my mother yelled they're impractical for winter but they look stylish (well more stylish than what I'm used to) and offer so many ways to style them I.e with boots, trainers and more. I'm used to wearing one massive winter duffle style coat throughout the colder months so this will be fun to experiment with.
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with jumpers/knits as they look so cute on petite girls and I always get disappointed when I try one on and my massive boobs just don't give the same effect. This time I've purchased some pieces that don't emphasise that area and look casual and dressy at the same time. I cannot wait for the chillier days to set in and wear them.
Okay. I have no idea where to start with jeans. There are so many girls out there that know their favourites in Topshop and River Island with the cute names but that is not me. I basically live in any jeans randomly picked up from New Look and when they rip or break I just buy a new pair. I love watching 'closet tours' on YouTube and am dumbfounded when girls reveal 30+ pairs of jeans! I am the only one who only owns one or two pairs so this confuses me to no end, don't they all look the same? Why do you need more than three? This time I have selected some different styles and denim colours (look how adventurous I am now!) and hopefully my butt will fit in them.

A Petite Bébé
I'm having a baby!
What a surreal experience finding out you're pregnant is. I found out I was pregnant two week before my wedding day in June. We were planning on children about a year after the wedding but clearly this one had other plans. I actually realised there was something up on my Hen do in Barcelona as I was exhausted and didn't want Sangria (which is unheard of). After getting home I ran straight to Boots for a test and found out it was positive. When seeing those two little lines I stood up and the doorway started to spin as the realisation set in. I told Mathieu and we both cried and I hid it from everyone on my wedding day pretending to sip champagne when in reality I was sliding it to Mat the whole day. We told my family the next day as it was Father's day and gave him a frame saying "Your first Grandchild's heart has started beating' and he broke down. It was a little early to tell in my opinion as we had only found out ourselves and we were having our dating scan the following week so we didn't even know how many weeks we were, but all our family were there together so we decided it was a good time. After going to our dating scan we were then twelve weeks! We cried when we saw this photo and heard the little heartbeat and already know this little baby is our entire world.

Four Months As Mr & Mrs
/ Personal
We married on June 16th 2018. We have now been married for four months and I love this French man more and more everyday. We were together for six years before getting married and we had lived together for five. I don't know why we clicked or how but I could not imagine my life without him. I still don't always say my new surname and sometimes still call him boyfriend and it feels so grown up to correct myself that "he's my husband." Life is still the same although after gaining a ring and having the shindig there is definitely something there that wasn't there before, I feel like we're more caring, and there's 100x more love for each other which seems odd but is strangely true. I thank everyday that this man pestered me with flowers until I gave in and let him take me for a drink. I couldn't imagine a world without him.

Postcards from Paris: My Parisian "Mini Moon"
/ Personal
After getting married in June we flew to Paris the next day to spend a few days together. We want to take a relaxing Honeymoon at some point some where beachy and warm like the Maldives but opted for a "Mini Moon" as we couldn't get any time off for a faraway destination so Paris it was.
It was such a lovely few days spending them hand in hand with my new husband. Here are a few pictures of our wanders around the city.

My Summer Tan: Isle Of Paradise Tanning Water
/ Beauty
One of my Summer staples this year has been the much raved about Isle Of Paradise tanning water. I loved the idea of it being a water spray than a mousse as I always struggle and end up with dark swipes of brown on my limbs when attempting to use a mousse so this product definitely stood out for me. I chose the medium shade as I do like a nice glowy tan and it did not disappoint! I even used it on my wedding day.
Before using it I have a good old soak in the tub on a Sunday which is my "Spa Night" and went about my usual routine of self care such as shaving my legs, and exfoliating using my favourite sugar scrub from & Other Stories. Once out of the bath and I'm towelled off left feeling pampered I spritz away doing one area of my body at a time making sure that the spray isn't too close my skin leaving a soft mist. I then go in with a tanning mitt patting it in lightly and then swiping upwards in circular motions. I make sure to pay attention as to where I have applied as there is no colour or guide when applying so it can be difficult at times to get an even application.
I found that this product gave a natural even tan and left me with a flowery scent which is unusual for most fake tans (bonus) and the best part is that this tan lasts! I applied this the day before my wedding and two weeks later after coming back from my Mini moon it had slowly started to fade a little. Perfect. I am very tempted to purchase the tanning drops to add to my moisturiser as I love the glow this gives! I will definitely be using this throughout Autumn and Winter to keep me glowing.
Has anyone else tried this brand or the drops?

Glossier Picks
/ Beauty
I am still on the Glossier bandwagon and after my last order I wanted to try out some of the things my fave you tubers were raving about. I needed a new mascara and loved the price tag of the Lash slick. Each blogger I love go's on about the stretch concealer and I secretly just really wanted to try the new solution, even though it's not so new now.
The Solution | I love the packaging of this, as did everyone else I think. The pump is so easy to use and I am a sucker for cool packaging. The product itself didn't really wow me after the first couple of uses and left my skin feeling sticky so I shelved it. But I have recently rediscovered it and I have been giving it a second chance. It has never bothered my skin where as I saw some people mention that it stung when they applied but my skin took it well. I notice that after a couple of uses my skin is softer but not much difference in any other areas. I don't think I'll repurchase it again though.
Stretch Concealer | The concealer however I am in love with. Aside from the fact that I bought it in a shade darker it's the kind of cream product that I can get along with. I use this with my darker foundations and when I have tanned and the result is flawless. It reminds me of the Nars Soft Matte concealer but a little more wet. It sits perfectly on my skin and I love how it blends. It never dries and adds such a lovely glow to my finished look which is always a winner in my eyes. I cannot wait to repurchase as I've nearly run out.
Lash Slick | As I was in the market for a new mascara, on all my favourite channels Lash slick was mentioned everywhere. I will be honest and only ever wear mascara on my days off. I just cba with taking it off so I don't even wear it to work. So 80% of my time I am never wearing it, the horror. So I wanted to try the new release and I can't quite work out if I like it or not. I like that it gives me long natural lashes and doesn't clump but I really need to build the product, on first application it looks like nothing has touched my lashes. I guess I was looking for something more? I think I'll try out the Lancome Monsieur Big when this runs out.
Have you tried any of these? What were your thoughts?

Asian Shares Drop On Euro Zone Worry, Soft U.S. Data
Asian shares, oil and the euro fell on Tuesday as investors took profits from recent rallies, while the yen got a respite from broad-based selling.
European markets are seen barely changed, with financial spreadbetters predicting London's FTSE 100 .FTSE, Paris's CAC-40 .FCHI and Frankfurt's DAX .GDAXI would open up nearly flat. But a 0.1 percent gain in U.S. stock futures suggested a firm open on Wall Street. .L.EU.N
The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS tumbled 0.9 percent, dragged lower by a steep 1.7 percent fall in Hong Kong shares .HSI. The pan-Asian index climbed to a 18-month high on Monday.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock average .N225 closed down 1.9 percent, after scaling a 33-month high on Monday. .T
Positive data from China failed to brighten the bearish mood, after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX had its worst day since November on Monday on discouraging U.S. factory orders and worries that a potential political shake-up could disrupt the euro zone's efforts to resolve its debt crisis.
Analysts and traders said selling was a correction to markets rallying on receding tail risks such as growing euro zone stability and an improving global economic outlook, while global monetary easing still underpinned sentiment.
"This move in equities ... looks to be a healthy correction, nothing more," said Richard Yetsenga, Head of Global Markets at ANZ Research, adding that downside risk would likely convince major central banks globally to stick to easy policy.
In China, the HSBC services purchasing managers' index rose to a four-month high of 54 in January from December's 51.7, underlining confidence in the world's second-biggest economy, which is expected to grow 8.1 percent this year, off a 13-year low of 7.8 percent hit in 2012.
"The data globally is unquestionably better but the recovery still seems gradual. (China) hit the bottom and they had a bit of a bounce but nothing much else happened. We don't really seem to have preconditions for a much stronger bounce than that (8 percent growth)," Yetsenga said.
The Australian dollar fell 0.3 percent to $1.0405 after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its cash rate steady at 3.0 percent, as expected, having just cut in December. Australian shares .AXJO fell 0.5 percent but trimmed some earlier losses after the RBA's rate decision.
The euro took the brunt of renewed focus on the euro zone problems, having risen 2.3 percent so far this year against the U.S. dollar, up about 5.4 percent against sterling and 1.8 percent higher against the Australian dollar.
The euro eased 0.2 percent to $1.3485, retreating further from Friday's 14-1/2-month peak of $1.3711, ahead of the European Central Bank's policy meeting on Thursday.
"Markets have been increasingly comfortable with European risks over the past few months and are largely not positioned for this increase in political problems. The outcomes in Spain and Italy are far from certain and may represent stumbling blocks for further expansion in risk appetite," Barclays Capital said in a research note.
Spain's opposition party on Sunday called for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to resign over corruption allegations, which Rajoy denies, pushing Spanish 10-year bond yields to six-week highs.
In Italy, 10-year Italian government bond yields hit their highest since late December, as chances of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi regaining power raised worries about Rome's ability to fix its fiscal problems.
The yen took a breather, firming from lows against a broad range of currencies.
The dollar steadied at 92.36 yen after scaling its highest since May 2010 of 93.185 on Monday, while the euro eased 0.1 percent to 124.53 yen, off its loftiest since April 2010 of 126.97 hit on Friday.
"Markets are broadly undergoing a correction and the euro is definitely facing profit-taking, given the pace of its climb. Worries about the euro zone debt crisis always remain a downside risk for the euro, and could push it lower to $1.32-$1.33," said Hiroshi Maeba, head of FX trading Japan at UBS in Tokyo. "But the trend is still upward for dollar/yen, cross/yen. The dollar could reach 95 yen by the end of the month."
As long as markets hold out expectations for the Bank of Japan to implement aggressive monetary easing to beat decades of deflation in Japan, the yen will stay pressured. Any correction to the dollar's rise against the yen was also be seen as shallow, with many traders and analysts seeing a firm floor around 87-88 yen.
Asian credit markets faltered with the plunge in equities, widening the spread on the iTraxx Asia ex-Japan investment-grade index by three basis points.
Brent crude slipped towards $115 per barrel, giving up some of its gains from the last three weeks, on renewed euro zone worries and a slightly firmer dollar.

Seniors Find Beauty and Intrigue In Albarracín
Albarracín in Spain is part of the autonomous community of Aragon. If you're senior traveler who enjoys combining rugged terrain, ancient castles, untouched villages and a drop or two of fine wine, then Aragon is a wonderfully deserving, underappreciated place to visit.
The municipality is small with a population of 1,075 inhabitants yet tourists arrive in droves just to soak up the ambiance and atmosphere of the region. Senior visitors will find Albarracín to be a picturesque town surrounded by stony hills. The town was declared a Monumento Nacional in 1961 that sets it apart from other villages in the region.
Some say that the town is named for the Moorish Al Banū Razín family that dominated the area during the period of Muslim domination in the Iberian Peninsula. Others say that the name comes from the Celtic terms for Mountain (alb) and Vine (ragin). What is certain however, is that the town of Albarracín is well worth a visit.
Seniors Enjoy Historical Town
From 1167 to 1300, Albarracín was an independent lordship. The former capital of a Moorish kingdom (Taifa), today the small town of Albarracín has preserved all its Islamic and medieval flavor. The Alcázar (castle) Fortress and the Andador Tower are from the 10th century. In the 11th century, the kings of Albarracín constructed the walls around the poor area of Engarrada.
Rough Guides highlights the town that is 37km west of Teruel, as one of the more accessible towns in rural southern Aragón. Also one of the most picturesque towns in the province, Albarracín is poised above the Río Guadalaviar and retains, virtually intact, its medieval streets and tall, balconied houses.
There's a historical curiosity, in that from 1165 to 1333, the town formed the center of a small independent state, the kingdom of the Azagras.
Albarracín's dark, enclosed lanes and ancient buildings adorned with splendid coats of arms make for an intriguing stroll, reminders of past eras. The narrow lanes between the tall houses intertwine, uphill and down. But, it's a small place in spite of the massive crenellated walls.
Seniors Find One Of Spain's Most Beautiful Villages
Senior visitors will want to walk along the walls called Murallas de Albarracín. The Plaza Mayor (Main Square), is the hub of action with the preferred places to eat and to enjoy some Spanish wine.
Albarracín has been called"The Most Beautiful Village in Spain." France does the same thing with "Les Plus Beaux Villages." "To be in Albarracín feels fairy-tale like as the sharp winds blow off the Sierra Albarracín to the north and one feels transported in time through the blind alleys, sharp turns and cobblestone streets."
Senior visitors say that Albarracín feels loaded with history and uniqueness, because it has both. So come and experience it all for yourself.-jeb

More transparent communication with players
A better siege mechanism
Encourage players to farm dungeons
Attach more importance to item balance in game
Improve the daily quality of life for players
Increase overall integrity and fairness
1. Players can get more game info from Trion official social platform, such as Facebook, Twitter, Forum and Live Stream. GM will discuss game play issues with players and provide more details of the game update than before.
2. Trion is committed to creating a better siege mechanism which will bring in a greater sense of risk and a more balanced competition between the attacker guild and the defender guild.
3. Serpentis and The Sea of Drowned Love have received a frequent amount of traffic since their release as players compete for their spoils. I still remember that our archeage gold orders increased a lot when the Sea of Drowned Love dungeon launched, also at that time I wrote an article "The Sea of Drowned Love Weekend Dungeon Is a Success in ArcheAge". In order to encourage continued exploration of these dungeons, more portals and more entrance quests are available, you can also get entrance tokens every day for each dungeon.
4. Everyone knows that market values of popular items rise and fall based on traditional supply and demand, in order to avoid imbalance of items, GM will begin to introduce alternative item drop methods to the game.
5. GM is shifting priorities to deliver game mechanics that some of the veteran players will recognize like the PvP Arena and Fishing Tournaments.
6. There are some fundamental changes like adding a global trade channel to remove spams from faction chat, the ability to ignore or refuse mail from blocked senders. Recently, we have seen a large scale of farmers' accounts ban before and after the update, as a website that sells archeage gold, we have seen Trion efforts on improving game fairness.
Even though archeage gold trading is regarded as illicit by GM, I still believe that we needn't to spend too much time collecting gold by ourselves, however, it's important to know how to buy safe archeage gold when Trion removes illicit gold if you plan to buy some, hopefully you can avoid getting a ban.

This opinion piece of mine was printed in the Times Argus on Saturday November 1st, 2014:
The State of Vermont spends millions of dollars per year on information technology (IT) projects, most of which work fine. A number of high-profile projects like the most recent health insurance exchange however, do not fully achieve their goals or fail outright.
These software systems are extremely complex, so I don't mean to suggest there's some magical solution that will save us from these failures. We have the opportunity to achieve some real cost savings on these projects, but there are several large obstacles in the way:
- There is no effective Legislative oversight of IT projects – the Legislature has delegated most of the responsibility to the Department of Innovation and Information.
- There are few if any elected officials in the Legislature with IT experience that could provide effective oversight.
- There is little accountability when a project fails. We all end up footing the bill and there's a lot of circular finger pointing and blame that goes around. Let's draw a line in the sand and have clear expectations of who should shoulder the responsibility.
I'm running for the Legislature in Berlin and Northfield for a number of reasons, but I believe that with my 15+ years of professional experience in computer networking, software, and security and a PhD in computer science, I can have an immediate effect on the costs of the computer systems that all of us pay for in Vermont. Thanks for being a voter on November 4th!

The history continues, with a reminder of context: in November 2000, you could get on an airplane without taking off your shoes first, and no one put their hands on your body; you could travel between Canada and the US without a passport; there was no Patriot Act passed by a Congress that didn't read it, and no Homeland Security. No "War on Terror" either. Iraq was still an intact country, as was Syria.
An Expanding Reader To Encourage Life Lovers
Installment #2
11 November 2000
Dear Friends,
What were the responses to the first installment? They ranged from the funny to the profound, but they all gave me what Jeannette Muzima refers to as "a jolt of hope." Below is a sampling:
Suzanne Cox: "I feel very lucky to be getting it in today's world of market, piggies go to market. I cannot believe it is free." (This was in response to her suggesting that I should at least charge $5, and my replying IT HAS TO BE FREE. Maybe I am being stubbornly impractical with this project, but the greenback god from hell rules our collective life to a degree that was unimaginable when I was growing up—and I purely hate calculating my every move in terms of money. She Is Still Burning will remain what it was conceived to be: a gift, to myself as much as to anyone else.)
Jeannette Muzima: "Thank you for creating this. I look forward to reading, contributing, laughing, raging, and re-igniting."
Rawi Hage: "I know many shes with eternal fires in them."
Madelaine Marin: "Et BRAVO! pour le lancement de SHE IS STILL BURNING! FEU dont le besoin se fait si grandement sentir tant la chaleur est absente de nos isolements respectifs." (rough translation: And bravo! for the making of SHE IS STILL BURNING—a fire we feel need of to the degree that warmth is missing from our respective solitudes.)
My thanks to all who responded. "Every woman deserves her own hallelujah chorus," says Clarissa Pinkola Estès—and so does She Is Still Burning.
This installment appears three weeks after the first one, which feels to me like a pretty good rhythm. I do She Is Still Burning in between working on contracts for my editing/translation business, so the installments happen when they happen. If it's more than a month between installments, that doesn't mean the project is dead. It means I'm up against a deadline.
All this said, welcome to the continuation of She Is Still Burning!
Bon courage (keep your spirits up),

The Company You Buy: Professional Ethics Means Sharing Transgressions
Implementing strong professional ethics in today's global business arena means taking responsibility for past misconduct, then engaging in present action to mitigate potential adverse outcomes. Global leaders need to maintain appropriate circumspection about ethical conduct while simultaneously negotiating a complex web of local and national laws and customs. Although ethical standards, laws, and business practices differ by geography, organizations and individuals doing business in the US are subject to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The FCPA prohibits bribing foreign officials or falsifying books, and requires businesses to implement a system of internal accounting controls.
A combined $22.2 million Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) settlement with LATAM Airlines for FCPA violations illustrates the consequences of poor ethical decision-making: 1) even if the company is not incorporated in the US; and 2) based primarily on evidence of a predecessor organization's accounting irregularities. The settlement arose from criminal and civil charges against LATAM Airline Group for the legal transgressions of its predecessor, LAN Airlines, dating back more than 10 years. In other words, today LATAM is on the hook for yesterday's book-cooking by the company it bought.
LAN was not a US corporation. It was incorporated in Chile, headquartered in Miami, Florida, and provided air transportation to the United States, among other countries. It was also traded on the New York Stock Exchange. These connections with the US were enough to make the airline subject to the FCPA. The allegations in the SEC press release and the DOJ criminal charges follow, in section 1 below.
1. Misconduct Allegations & Consequences
LAN Airlines wanted to enter the commercial airline market in Argentina. But there was a problem: Argentine law prohibited foreign-owned airlines from operating in the country. So LAN sought and received the Argentine government's permission to acquire a local airline. LAN then convinced Argentina to change the law to allow LAN to own a majority share of that airline, grant additional airline routes, and raise the maximum ticket prices it was allowed to charge.
Having achieved most of its goals, LAN's remaining obstacle to expanding its business in Argentina involved the labor unions it had inherited as part of the acquisition. The union demanded higher pay on threat of organized action that would significantly increase LAN's labor expenses.
To thwart the union's threat, LAN hired a "consultant" for $1.15 million under a fictitious agreement to study Argentine air routes. The consultant did not study air routes, but instead funneled bribes to union officials, who agreed to accept lower wages – saving LAN more than $6.7 million. However, despite the largesse of the consulting sum (much of which LAN remitted to the consultant and his wife's personal bank account), the sham consulting agreement was never signed. Not only did these moves demonstrate poor ethical decision-making: they violated the FCPA.
The SEC and the DOJ brought parallel civil and criminal charges, respectively, for failure to keep accurate books or maintain adequate internal accounting controls.
The DOJ noted that the "$22.2 million in combined penalty, disgorgement and prejudgment interest far exceeds the $6.7 million in savings the company had received from its improper payments."
LAN's CEO, Ignacio Cueto Plaza, who signed off on the sham consulting agreement, was also on the hook for the illegal and unethical conduct. Plaza must pay a $75,000 penalty and attend anti-corruption training, among other things, to settle the criminal charges against him.
In addition to the monetary payout, LATAM must also beef up its compliance efforts and hire an independent compliance monitor for at least 27 months.
LATAM did not voluntarily disclose the FCPA violations, it let responsible employees off scot-free, and it failed to cooperate with the DOJ investigation until four years after the unlawful conduct occurred, when it was uncovered by the Argentine press. LATAM's lack of professional ethics in response to LAN'S transgressions compromised "the ability of the compliance program to be effective in practice," wrote the DOJ. The DOJ consequently imposed a stiffer penalty than it would have if LATAM had cooperated from the beginning.
This isn't just an idle promise. Companies that make the ethical decision to self-report through their own initiative can avoid prosecution and avoid harsh monetary penalties.
2. Disclosure is Due Diligence
According to A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA Guide) compiled by the DOJ and SEC, companies engaging in mergers and acquisitions are encouraged to:
(1) conduct thorough risk-based FCPA and anti-corruption due diligence on potential new business acquisitions;
(2) ensure that the acquiring company's code of conduct and compliance policies and procedures regarding the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws apply as quickly as is practicable to newly acquired businesses or merged entities;
(3) train the directors, officers, and employees of newly acquired businesses or merged entities, and when appropriate, train agents and business partners, on the FCPA and other relevant anti-corruption laws and the company's code of conduct and compliance policies and procedures;
(4) conduct an FCPA-specific audit of all newly acquired or merged businesses as quickly as practicable; and
(5) disclose any corrupt payments discovered as part of its due diligence of newly acquired entities or merged entities
The FCPA Guide assures companies contemplating mergers and acquisitions that the "DOJ and SEC will give meaningful credit to companies who undertake these actions, and, in appropriate circumstances, DOJ and SEC may consequently decline to bring enforcement actions."
3. Other Outcomes of Bad Behavior
LATAM could have done better, but it could have fared worse. For example, debt collectors who harassed debtors were shuttered, subjected to intrusive monitoring, and forced to pay over $5 million total. The SEC has also hit financial high-flyers who flaunt ethical standards with imprisonment and more than $50 million in settlements and final judgments for securities law violations. US companies with a global reach may even find themselves facing criminal charges for racketeering abroad.
4. Outcomes of Good Behavior
In addition to the positive outcomes of self-reporting under the FCPA, such ethical conduct has other long-term benefits. It should not be lost that a compliance culture with a strong sense of professional ethics fosters good decision-making and business success. The alternatives (ruined reputations and careers, prison and painful payouts) are numerous as they are untenable.
Compliance training is one way employers can incorporate professional ethics into the fabric of their organization. If you're unsure about how to do it, this case study on Namely, an HR-compliance startup that combined growth and culture with training, provides an inside look.

What do you think? Has the Marching Band become part of the Scott Stadium experience?
I would like to do a follow-up on this in the future, but of course, there are very few places to sell a story like this. In a perfect world, the Charlottesville Podcasting Network would have some funding source that could be used to support the production of new programming. Perhaps some of this new programming could find its way to the radio.

NEW course Launch!
Join my new sourdough baking course here: Sourdough Bread Baking Experiments
Today is launch day for my new course, "Sourdough Bread Baking Experiments." I had a lot of fun making this course but it took me a long time to get it finished. Thank you for being so patient!
In this course, I boiled bread, worked with low inoculation, double hydrations, motherdough, overnight ferments, super high hydration (Cristal Bread) and other fun experimental methods. I also played around with some heritage grains, Spelt and Teff. There is even a failed experiment with double hydration!Continue reading
Photo is from a future course I am working on.
And it's okay! I am happy with their pricing policy change and I'm on board with their new direction. However, I thought I would give you, my baker friends, a last chance to get into my sourdough baking courses at the lower prices before they are no longer available. Although I've already changed some of my prices to reflect the new Udemy pricing, Udemy will not allow Continue reading

Dell Loses Social Media Chief
NEW YORK The leader of Dell's social media team has left the company to take a position with the Blog Council, an industry group focused on social media.
Bob Pearson, vp of communities and conversation, is departing the computer maker after three years to become president of the fledgling group that gathers the growing crop of social media execs at large companies. Representatives from Cisco, GE and Microsoft are among its 45 members.
Andy Sernovitz heads the Blog Council as CEO.
Pearson (pictured above) joined Dell in February 2006 in the wake of the company's pasting for poor customer service online. Dell subsequently began a blog-monitoring and problem-resolution service, launching its own corporate blogs and a customer input site.
"Social media is going to become a new discipline for companies," he said. "Customers want to give ideas to influence products and services, rate and review products and provide technical solutions to other customers."
Dell's social media team tops 40 people. Yet the challenge remains to make the practice an intrinsic part of corporate culture, Pearson said. The Blog Council is meant as a forum for social media leaders facing similar challenges in their own organizations to share best practices and advice.
"The biggest challenge is what I call the antibodies," he said. "Every organization has them, and the larger ones have more. These are the people still trying to do things like they've done the last 10 or 20 years. They tend not to say no but not to say yes. They have lots of ways to stop progress with a smile."
The Blog Council is also meant to help companies share successful approaches to new social media tools, like Twitter.
"People are realizing social media creates competitive advantage," Pearson said. "If it's used well, it has a lot of utility in the enterprise."

It's time to look into the crystal ball and see where content marketing is headed in the coming months and years. Of course, it's impossible to predict with exacting accuracy, but some of the writing is definitely on the wall.
Increased Awareness
Nearly 60% of businesses are using some kind of content marketing strategy right now[1]. This number is very likely to continue to rise in months and years to come as companies become more aware of its potential and importance.
Increased Focus
As awareness increases, focused and organized strategies will begin to be developed. Companies and individuals will start defining their goals with greater specificity, and they will take more care in understanding how content marketing fits into their overarching marketing plan and objectives. They will begin to see more niches to fill and more opportunities to pounce on.
Increased Opportunity
As companies become more aware of the power of content marketing and begin to outline their strategies, the need to hire experienced professionals or consultants will also become obvious. Some businesses will likely try to manage their entire content marketing plan within their team (and perhaps even do it well), but many others will be interested in bringing on new team members in the marketing department.
Increased Automation?
It is possible that businesses will begin to look for ways to automate and streamline their content production. However, this will only be of limited use until better apps, tools and software becomes available. Google will continue to rank relevant, authoritative content higher than spun articles or low-quality content stuffed with keywords.
Even so, some new social media and blog management tools are likely to come onto the scene. Perhaps they will increase efficiency, but there is always the chance that they will be of limited use in a fast changing market. It will definitely be interesting to watch.
Of course, there is always the tried-and-true entrepreneurial tactic of outsourcing and hiring overseas virtual assistants. Whether there will be increased adoption of such strategies remains to be seen.
Adding game-like mechanics to forums, personal management apps and social networks has become increasingly commonplace. Though providing useful, actionable content is always going to have its place, people enjoy the novel and the fun too, and content marketers will likely want to incorporate more game-like elements into their content pieces to engage their audiences.
More User Participation
Social networks are essentially host to other people's content. The content they produce for their blog or news section only makes up for a very small percentage of the entire site.
As businesses seek to increase the amount of content they host, some will choose to leverage their user base to quickly grow the amount of content on their site.
Greater Emphasis on Storytelling
As businesses seek to build relationships with their customers and build loyalty, they will likely want to begin telling their story. They will want to spend more time talking about the purpose behind their vision as opposed to the specifics of their day-to-day operation. In order for customers to demonstrate any kind of long-term fidelity to specific corporations in today's world, businesses will have to be willing to be more transparent about who they are, what they do and how they are benefitting society.
Greater Emphasis on Social Media
Recent changes to Google Analytics (which now tracks how many people are coming to your site from various social networks) suggests that social media is going to factor into index ranking more than ever before. As such, content marketers will have to be all the more diligent about using social channels to share and promote their content.
As you are likely aware, Google is still the most popular website on the internet[3], so don't be surprised if Google+ also increases in importance, in particular because of Google Authorship and YouTube. Credible, relevant information has always been important, but this trend is only going to amplify its significance. It is quite likely that there is going to be more emphasis on the credibility of authors and content creators in general (which could also play a part in rankings).
The other facet of this is that the number of social networks and content sharing sites like SlideShare are only going to increase. Though many of them might be futile attempts at taking over existing sites like Facebook or Pinterest, there will likely be a few that stick and stay around.
Growth in Mobile Usage
Mobile devices continue to grow in popularity, and they are on pace to outrun desktop usage by 2015[2]. It's difficult to determine exactly what this will mean for content marketers, but in general, it's likely going to require marketers to develop content that can be consumed on the fly. Content will also need to be easily readable and navigable, so if any companies don't have mobile-friendly websites or email campaigns yet, this shift in medium will inevitably demand change.
New Tracking and Analytics Technology
Much like social media, it's fairly difficult to measure the return on investment with content marketing. It is often the cumulative effect - rather than the visitors, subscribers, or buyers on any given day – that really matters. Businesses are going to want more data that they can inspect and assess, and there will undoubtedly be some new providers of tracking and analytics tools to fill this niche.

[Carnegie Library and Academic Building]
Date: Unknown
Spot toning/painting with washes. Silver halide shifting.
One of Matheson's strong interests and of great importance to the School in its quest to be an academic
institution of merit was the development of a good library. While Chairman of the English Department,
Matheson had begun a library first housed in his office and then on the third floor of the Academic
Building. Matheson wrote to Andrew Carnegie and persuaded him to fund a library at the Georgia School of
Technology. Carnegie donated $20,000 to build the library, provided the school agreed to furnish $2,000 a
year to sustain the library and employ trained help. The architectural firm of Morgan and Dillon was
hired to design the library. President Matheson was enthusiastic about the proposed design, noting that
"every foot of available space will be used and the building will be flooded with light." The Library was
designed to hold 6,000 to 8,000 volumes in the library proper, with a stack room of 30,000 volumes. The
Carnegie Library opened for business September 1907. Robert Walker, in his master's thesis Georgia's
Carnegie Libraries: a Study of Their History, Their Existing Conditions and Conservation, noted that the
library is ornately designed with a complex, multidimensional front fa‡ade. He noted that "level of
exterior elaboration separates this design from other Carnegie libraries statewide."
From Warren Drury's thesis: "Architecturally, the Carnegie Library is the most exciting and ornate
building designed for the campus during this period. Neo-classic in design, it maintains a simple
orderliness in its forms. The building is composed of a single compact block articulated with an entry
portico. The ornate entrance block has canted Ionic columns in antis. A decorative parapet panel with
balanced blank shields surrounding the school name and capped by the Tech shield surrounded by decorative
limestone work complete this block. The axis of symmetry is reinforced by a vertical flag pole. Between
the columns in antis is the arched entrance. The Academic building, also visible in this photograph, was
one of the initial two buildings erected and is "a splendid edifice of brick, trimmed with granite and
terra cotta, slate roof. It has one hundred and thirty feet front, is one hundred and twenty deep and is
four stories high above basement story. It contains ample accommodations in halls, offices, apparatus
rooms, recitations and lecture rooms, free hand and mechanical drawing rooms, library and chapel. "
