Dear ____,
After 25 years of living in Florida, I have returned home to spend the second half of my life where it all began. I am currently exploring nursing positions at Elm Street Hospital and have enclosed my updated resume for your review.
I worked here in the 1970s. I left on great terms, have outstanding references, and I'd love to come back and conclude my career where I started.
As you see from my resume, I have not formally worked in the past 24 months. I have spent time with my children and grandchildren, traveled a bit with my semi-retired husband, and have taken advantage of my free time to take a number of continuing education courses to improve my skills for 21stcenturyAmericaincluding computer courses, advanced nursing techniques,and other personal development-related workshops and seminars.
Now back in Georgia, I am seeking part-time employment. I am flexible as to the shifts and days I can work, and I'd like to find a position that would allow me to work about 24 hours per week. I can work three 8-hour shifts or two 12-hour ones. I have excellent letters of reference from my years in Florida,in addition to the fine reputation I left behind when I left Georgia some 25 years ago.
I will stop by your office next Tuesday between 2 P.M. and 3 P.M. to fill out your formal application. If you can take a few moments to see me at that time, I would be very grateful. I will call you on Monday to see if this can be arranged.
Thank you for your attention. I am excited about the possibility of returning to Elm Street Hospital.
Thanking you.
Yours Sincerely,
(The Sender's Signature)

The Listening Archive is a non-profit art organization that "promotes the cultural importance of music through its mission to map the diversity and generational shift of ideas in musical listening". One of their goals is to open a conversation amongst producers, artists, scholars, musicologists, sound engineers, and musical enthusiasts, to explore their artistic decision, influences, and processes.
In order to document these conversations, they are hosting a fund-raiser this Saturday, May 5th from 7:30-11:30 at the ISSUE Project Room, to help with production costs.
The participants behind this project include Dave Portner (Animal Collective), Eric Copeland (Black Dice, etc.), Lenny Kaye, Stephin Merritt, Pete Seeger, Leon Fleisher, Jon Hendricks, Judd Greenstein, etc. They are also working with the New York Public Library as well as the Library of Congress.
The line-up lives up to the mission statement of this organization, hosting Gregory Spears, a contemporary composer who blends romanticism, minimalism, and early music; T de Long, founder of PS1's Warm- Up Series; and then the sounds of myself, Atropolis.
I am looking forward to sharing this space with these performers, it is going to be a really great event filled with a unique selection of musical performance, food, drinks, and a silent auction.

London is hosting the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) 2013 from the 8th-13th of September. The meeting of over 800 astronomers and astrobiologists will cover the whole scope of planetary science, from space policy to future "roadmaps".
- Astrobiologists will be presenting work spectroscopy can detect micro-organism and the effects of high-levels of radiation on them as is encountered on the surface of Mars. Dr Lewis Dartnell, of the University of Leicester, will present how the Raman spectrometer, which uses lasers to interact with molecular vibrations, is used to detect signs of life on Mars.
Running in tandem with EPSC and throughout September, London's "Festival of Planets" is the singular destination in our universe to see exhibitions, sci-fi movies, lectures, art, historical images, and even comedy theater about space travel, moon maps, and planet surface images. Festival of Planets captures the beauty, imagination, and achievement of space science to conjure the heavens to London city. "Life imitates art" was never so true here now!Here is a sampling of the many Festival events, free except where noted:
- See an incredible 10-mile photographic panorama of the surface of Mars installed at University College London (UCL). The mural is 40 meters long and 3 meters tall, and depicts a 10 mile sweep of the red planet's surface. With resolution of 57cm per photo pixel, you see the red planet up close.
- UCL, as EPSC 2013 host and the only NASA's Regional Planetary Image Facility in the UK, unveiled a new website in honor of the occasion, Snapshots from Space History. UCL has traditionally been a repository for historical space images. The snapshots are also on display at EPSC this week, and yes you may reproduce the photos. And you will want a copy of Walter Goodacre's incredibly detailed 1910 map of the Moon, reproduced at 70″ big at 400 megapixel high-resolution format. Appreciate also the first photo taken of the Earth from the Moon in 1966; the original prints of images and data from the Viking 1 and Mariner 9 probes which travelled to Mars in the 1970s; the original handmade mosaic images of Io and Ganymede, made by Voyager 1 in 1979; or images from and of the surface of Venus, captured by the Soviet Union in 1982.
- The British Astronomical Association and the Baker Street Irregular Astronomers host a public Observing Night at Regent's Park. View the Moon, the planet Neptune, and deep-space objects through a variety of telescopes under the guidance of expert astronomers, 11 September or raindates.
- The stars align in the cabaret theatre, "Space Showoff", an unpredictable space-themed journey mixing comedians and scientists, like Sci-Fi Night Live. An astrological first. At Bloomsbury Theatre, 15 Gordon Street, London, WC1H 0AH on 12 September for £10 and £7.
- Dr Christopher Arridge, a Royal Society University Research Fellow at UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory, delivers a public lecture, "Café Scientifique: How are the giant planets protecting us?" The Royal Society was founded 350 years ago (formed in 1600, and received its Royal Charter in 1663) by the likes of Christopher Wren and Isaac Newton to pursue knowledge science, engineering, and medicine. 350 years later, Arridge discusses why the planets are important in the history of our solar system, and the surprising nature of spaces between them. At the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG, 23 September 6:30pm-8pm.
- Royal Society hosts a two-day meeting on "Origin of the Moon", 23-24 September, for researchers and interested public.
Want to follow the EPSC on Twitter? For detailed updates from a variety of scientists, follow the #EPSC2013 tag on this week.
The internet is the world's oyster, but if you like science – and who doesn't? – it's worth the travel through space and time to hop a flight to London and experience first-hand interaction with fellow enthusiasts.(Disclosure: The author is a descendent of an Original Fellow of the Royal Society.)

The Uetliberg railway line (German: Uetlibergbahn) is a passenger railway line which runs from the central station in the Swiss city of Zürich (Zürich Hauptbahnhof) through the city's western outskirts to the summit of the Uetliberg. The route serves as line S10 of the Zürich S-Bahn, with the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund's (ZVV's) standards zonal fares applying.[1]
The line was opened in 1875 and electrified in 1923. In 1990 it was extended to its current terminus at Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Today it is owned by the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn, a company that also owns the Sihltal line, and operates other transport services.[2]
The line has a maximum gradient of 7.9%[3] and is the steepest standard gauge adhesion railway in Europe.[4] It carries both leisure and local commuter traffic.[5]
The Uetliberg line was built by the Uetlibergbahn-Gesellschaft, which opened its line from Selnau station in Zürich to the summit of the Uetliberg mountain in 1875. In 1892 the Sihltal line was opened by another company, running from the Uetliberg line's Selnau station to Sihlwald.[2]
In 1920 the Uetlibergbahn-Gesellschaft became bankrupt and was liquidated. Two years later the line was taken over by the Bahngesellschaft Zürich–Uetliberg (BZUe), and one year after that it was electrified. The original electric rolling stock had many of the attributes of contemporary tramcars, and were designed to be regaugeable to metre gauge as there was a (never realised) plan to integrate the line with the Zürich tram network.[2][6]
In 1932 the management of the Sihltal line took over the management of the Uetliberg line, but the two companies remained in existence until 1973, when they were merged to form the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn.[2][7]
In 1990, the two lines were extended from their previous joint terminus at Selnau to a terminus at Zürich HB. This extension involved the construction of a new rail tunnel from Selnau to Zurich HB, and a new underground intermediate station adjacent to the former terminus. The underground platform and tracks used at Zurich HB were already in existence, having been built prior to 1973 for a U-Bahn scheme that was ultimately rejected by voters. Once the new extension had been opened, the former terminus at Selnau was redeveloped and little evidence of it is now visible.[7][8]
Until 2008, a train of the line's original 1923 rolling stock was kept as a museum train by the SZU. However an increase in train frequencies in that year meant that the possibilities of running the stock was much reduced, and depot capacity was at a premium. The train, made up of motor car 2 and trailer C41, has since been loaned to the Swiss Transport Museum in Lucerne.[6][9]
The Uetliberg line shares a common terminus with the Sihltal line, utilising a dedicated underground island platform (tracks 21 and 22) at Zürich Hauptbahnhof station. There is no rail connection to the rest of the station, but the platform is served by the same complex of pedestrian subways and subterranean shopping malls that link the station's other platforms.[1]
From Hauptbahnhof to Zürich Giesshübel station the two lines share a common twin-track line, initially in tunnel, partly running along and under the Sihl river. The current Selnau station is located in this under-river tunnel section.[1]
Although the two lines diverge at Giesshübel station, and the depot for Uetliberg trains is located there, Uetliberg line trains do not stop. Just beyond Giesshübel, the line serves Zürich Binz station. The line then commences a long, steep but relatively straight climb through the Zurich suburbs, serving the stations of Zürich Friesenberg, Zürich Schweighof and Zürich Triemli. This section of line is single track, with a double track section between Binz and Friesenberg.[1]
Triemli station is adjacent to the Triemli Hospital, one of Zürich's main hospitals, and is the terminus for some trains on the line. The station has two tracks and two platforms.[1]
Beyond Triemli the line enters a more wooded and hilly environment, and executes a broad U shaped route to the summit of Uetliberg, which is 5.9 km (3.7 mi) from Triemli by rail, but only 1.5 km (0.93 mi) away in a direct line. This section of line serves Uitikon Waldegg and Ringlikon stations, and is single track, with double track sections between Triemli and Uitikon Waldegg, and at Ringlikon.[1]
Uetliberg station lies some 650 m (2,130 ft) from, and 56 m (184 ft) below, the summit of the Uetliberg. The station has two terminal tracks, and a substantial station building, including a restaurant.[1]
The passenger services on the line now forms part of the Zürich S-Bahn, branded as the S10. Standard Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) zonal fare tariffs apply to the line. On working days, trains run every 30 minutes from Hauptbahnhof to Uetliberg, with a more frequent shuttle service between Hauptbahnhof and Triemli. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, trains run the full length of the line every 20 minutes. A journey over the full length of the line takes 20 minutes.[5][10]
The Uetliberg line is constructed to standard gauge, and is electrified using overhead lines at 1200 V DC. Because it shares a common section with the Sihltal line, which is electrified at 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC, the Uetliberg line uses an overhead line offset from the centre of the track, and its cars are equipped with specially designed pantographs to collect from this.[11]
Rolling stock[edit]
The Uetliberg railway's DC electrification system requires its own fleet of DC equipped trains. Until about 2014 most of the trains were operated by three car sets, with two Be 4/4 motor coaches from the series 521–528 sandwiching a low floor intermediate trailer. The two older Be 8/8 cars 31 and 32, with no low floor access, were used for short workings, reversing at Triemli station.[12]
In 2010, six new multiple unit trains were ordered from Stadler Rail, equipped for dual voltage operation so as to operate on both the Uetliberg and Sihltal lines. By August 2013, the first of these units was on trial on the Uetlibergbahn, and by May 2014 they were operating many of the line's services. The new trains are three-section articulated low-floor units, and are classified as Be 510.[12][13] In 2016 rakes of two Be 510 work the trains to Uetliberg, the Be 4/4 521–528 sets having been relegated to the short working and the Be 8/8 sets having been scrapped in February 2016.

Blizzard Warning Includes Sioux Falls
The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for the region until midnight. We're only expecting about a half inch or so of snow this afternoon, but with winds 35-45 mph and gusts to 55 mph, we are expecting near white out conditions in open areas. As of 2pm, visibility is down to a block or two even inside city limits around Sioux Falls. As a result, no travel is advised in eastern South Dakota, southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa.
Temperatures will continue to drop this afternoon and through the night, so a Wind Chill Advisory is in effect from 3am to noon Friday. Temperatures will drop to -6 tonight with wind chills around -20. We're expecting sun on Friday, but windy and a high in the single digits will still give us wind chills around -25.
I try to just look at it as we are one day closer to spring.

A measurement tool that helps uncover more creditworthy borrowers — including many the competition can't find — is a powerful tool for card-industry players. The VantageScore credit scoring model is just such a "secret weapon."
The VantageScore 4.0 model can score the same population your competitors target with their offers but with greater precision thanks to innovative segmentation techniques. It also can assess approximately 40 million more consumers who are "invisible" to your competitors' conventional credit scoring models. Many of these overlooked consumers are highly creditworthy and offer tremendous opportunity for portfolio growth.
VantageScore technology offers unique benefits for every stage of the issuer's relationship with its customer and for every team within the issuer organization. The insights and informational resources in the sections below will explain the VantageScore advantage for you, no matter what role you play in the organization.

My Success Stories
Here's a flyer that shows some of my best success stories of the year so far
Fed to Raise Interest Rates?
The Federal Reservehas for some time been signaling that they will be raising interest rates in the fall or winter of this year. Just what does that mean to you? Quite simply, this represents a loss in buying power for all home buyers. As the interest rates rise, the cost of a mortgage rises along with them. For example, if the interest rate were to rise 1%, a $200,000 home would cost you $2,000 more each year than it currently does ---- just due to the increase in the interest rate on the mortgage.
Unless your income rises by an equal amount, you LOSE 1% of your purchasing power, in this example. The message? --- it's quite simple, now is a great time to buy if you are considering a home purchase in the near future. It's better to buy that…
What You Need to Know About the Mortgage Process [INFOGRAPHIC]
Pending Home Sales Remain Strong In June
The National Association of REALTORS' Pending Home Sales Index is "a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings". The higher the Pending Home Sales Index number, the more contracts have been signed by buyers that will soon translate to sales.
The latest index was released last week, with the headline:
Pending Home Sales Dip in June
As we reported last month, May's Index levels were the highest recorded in the last 9 years. The small 1.8% decline from May remains 8.2% over last June and the third highest reading in two years. The NAR headline, while accurate, isn't the best representation of what really happened.
NAR's Chief Economist Lawrence Yun points towards "low inventory levels in many markets" leading to "reduced…
Selling Your Home? Price It Right From the Start!
In today's market, where demand is outpacing supply in many regions of the country, pricing a house is one of the biggest challenges real estate professionals face. Sellers often want to price their home higher than recommended, and many agents go along with the idea to keep their clients happy. However, the best agents realize that telling the homeowner the truth is more important than getting the seller to like them.
There is no "later."
Sellers sometimes think, "If the home doesn't sell for this price, I can always lower it later." However, research proves that homes that experience a listing price reduction sit on the market longer, ultimately selling for less than similar homes.

Sri Lanka: Women From The North And East Call For Real Peace, Justice And Accountability
Released by the North East Women's Network as part of the International Women's Day Campaign (March 08th 2012)
The end of the brutal 30 year old war brought with it a hope of reconciliation, peace, development and equality for all. However in the last three years the Sri Lankan State's lack of commitment to these basic principles have left women in the North and East in a vulnerable position. The lack of livelihood, safety accountability and justice have left women in a state where we are yet to reap the benefits of a nation not in armed conflict.
In the last three years the security of women has deteriorated in several aspects. Women have found themselves in a position of having to take care of the economic and social wellbeing of their family single handedly while ensuring her and her families safety and security.
The continuation of the presidential task force and the PTA prevent women working at the grassroots level to help women who have been affected in the 03 decade old war by providing them counseling. The government's constant interference in rehabilitation and resettlement activities has hampered the work of these organizations and does not help organizations work in collaboration with the beneficiaries.
The increased military presence in the North and East, apart from creating a sense of fear in the people, has also led violations of rights for women. The military has opened several food and grocery shops, thus curtailing women's livelihood options in the north. Earlier several women used to earn their livelihood by running small shops. The Military has also been engaging in the sale of vegetables. Women therefore are unable to sell vegetables from their home gardens due to their inability to compete with the military and their fear of doing so.
In several places the military has taken over public land and private land alike to create military camps and training centres and they are even engaging in paddy cultivation using the land that has been forcibly taken from poor farmers. Even though the army commander has stated that the army is ready to scale down its presence in the North and east, this is unlikely given the permanent large structures that the army has built in the north and east.
This statement also comes at the wake of the proposed resolution at the UN calling for the implementation of the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and for additional and more thorough investigations. The Sri Lankan state's piecemeal measures make us aware that Sri Lanka is not serious about its claim of justice and accountability. Last year's grease yaka attacks remind us once again of the vulnerable position women are in even though there is a high military presence, which the government has stated is for the security of the people.

On Monday the Conservative Party leadership campaign officially began.
Posted: https://yournz.org/2019/06/14/first-vote-on-uk-conservative-party-leadership/
Just listened to a criminal Aussie deportee on talkback. He said he has an extensive Aussie criminal record. But that record doesn't follow him back to New Zealand. He now has a clean slate and is working in security…he may apply for a gun license.
And why not… this government believes in diversity.
There is nowhere else to post this (Pete whilst I understand your change of format I do miss the open forum and/or work view posts To post on UK politics).
Anyway, as you will know Boris won the leadership election as expected, today he was officially sworn in as PM by the Queen and immediately set about doing his cabinet reshuffle.
24 July 2019 is becoming known as the summer's day massacre as Boris culls the cabinet.
So far he has sacked 18 from cabinet.
The big appointments so far are:
Chancellor – Sajid Javid
Home Secretary – Priti Patel
Expected: Dominic Raab to be named Foreign Secretary
Good to hear Boris say New Zealand was shafted when Britain went with the EU. The sooner he resolves Brexit; the sooner Britain can start rebuilding. So far there has been little of the doom anti Brexit commentators have predicted. Boris calls them Doomsters. Nice to have some colour in British politics for a change.

The Fai case
Are we victims of ideological Confusion?
Aristotle said that "He would walk the way shown by logic." Thousands of people have sacrificed their precious lives for the sake of their ideology. Let us look around. We find Musaddeq in Iran, Hasan Nasir and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan, Bhagat Singh, Ashfaq and Sukhdev in India and Maqbul Bhat in our state who became martyrs for the cause they upheld. History tells us that rulers, exploitative elements and occupational forces have tried to change the ideology of revolutionaries through intimidation, oppression or persecution. Those who had accepted the truth of their ideologies did sacrifice their lives but did not change their course and struggle.
I would like to submit with humility that I am not against the ideology of any person, group or organization. Those differing with me on ideological basis continue to be my personal friends. I have fought against oppressive forces shoulder to shoulder with them. In the past, Altaf Husain Qureshi, Mujib-ur-Rahman Shami, Javed Hashmi and Mian Tufail Muhammad were all associated with Jamaat-e-Islami. But during my internship whenever excesses were done against them I stood by their side and took up cudgels with jail authorities on their behalf. Incidentally it was I who was the most victimized by torture in the jail. Let me come to the point.
Ghulam Nabi Fai is a personal friend. It was in 1981-82 when he, Ayub Thukar and a third person whose name I no more remember came to see me in Peshawar. This marked the beginning of our friendship. There is no disputing the fact that Fai Sahib was connected to Jamaat-e-Islami and made its teaching the lodestar of his life. Most of our meetings were held in Rawalpindi, Holland and especially in Geneva. He is a model of gentleness, hospitality and caring for friends. But there are no two opinions in his conformity with the thinking of Jamaat-i-Islami and Pakistan policy planners in regard to Kashmir issue. He considers Gilgit, Baltistan and Azad Kashmir part of Pakistan. He considers it an article of faith to struggle for the integration of Indian-held part of Jammu and Kashmir into Pakistan. He is a diehard supporter of J&K"s accession to Pakistan.
In the light of this ideology, Pakistani establishment and rulers deputed Fai Sahib, late Ayub Thukar and Nazir Qureshi to different countries of the world to carry forward Pakistani perception and support its interests in regard to Kashmir. Fai Sahib was deputed to Washington for launching Kashmir American Council in Washington. Ayub Thukar incepted International Institute of Kashmir Studies in London. Its foundation was laid by Pir Husamu'd-Din. Nazir Qureshi opened his office in Jeddah under the banner of WAMY.
Fai Sahib's detention in the US is based on the charges framed against him that:
1. Fai's Kashmir American Council is working for Pakistan without permission from the US Government, and as such, it is doing illegal lobbying.
2. ISI has provided him more than 4 million dollars clandestinely and illegally.
3. He did not pay the taxes on the money he received in accordance with the American law.
4. FBI has charged that Fai followed the diktat of ISI while organizing any function. Who would be invited to a proposed conference was dictated by the ISI.
Fai has pleaded guilty to lobbying for Pakistan and the court will pronounce judgment in March 2012.
Whatever has happened with Fai Sahib, I am grieved severely by it because of he is a friend and a gentleman. But my experience tells me that Fai's Kashmir related struggle has been essentially for accession to Pakistan. It is also a fact that American authorities knew beforehand about his struggle, his mission and his funding sources. But when differences between CIA and ISI deepened, CIA made the Fai related disclosure just to show ISI down.
I remember that once during the days when Hillary Clinton happened to be the First Lady, Fai had met her with a delegation and presented her a costly cashmere shawl. Hillary Clinton remarked that "the Indian President, too, had gifted her with a shawl like that in New Delhi." Fai gave an expensive Kashmiri carpet to Congressman Dan Burton who is a known pro-Pakistani lobbyist. The carpet carried the picture of US Congress building on it… He used to give donations to the American Congress as well as the American presidential candidates.
It is a fact that Fai has been made the scapegoat for rivalry between CIA and ISI. This calls for condemnation. But condemnation notwithstanding, the fact is that in case Pakistan does not come to the rescue of Fai, he can be given imprisonment for 3-5 years besides some fine. It is so because he has made confession in the court of law.
We appreciate Fai Sahib's confessional statement for the fact that he has accepted before the entire world that he has been accepting financial support from ISI for last two decades. He accepted that he worked in the interests of Pakistan. Now it is Pakistan's moral duty to give him fullest possible support. Since the US has many interests in Pakistan, therefore, Pakistan has the reason to talk to the US about Fai and his punishment can be reduced under some sort of a deal.
In the context of Fai's detention, Sayyid Ali Shah Geelani called a seminar on 24 December 2011 in Srinagar. There was justification to do so because Fai is a basic member as well as a leader of Jamaat-i-Islami and above all a staunch supporter of Kashmir's accession to Pakistan. Geelani Sahib is right in pronouncing Fai as the courageous ambassador and sympathizer of Kashmiris. He says the entire community is beholden to him and supports him.
Geelani Sahib does not consider anybody as part of the nation except his organization and Jamaat-i-Islami. Therefore his labeling of Fai as the ambassador of the nation is right in its place. Yet I am baffled by the statement of Geelani Sahib in which he said "that the court case against Fai in the US has raised the head of Kashmiri nation high with pride." I cannot understand this logic. Fai has confessed all the allegations brought against him by the America prosecutor which among others is having received 4 million dollars from ISI illegally. Does doing such things raise anybody's head high with pride? It is not only I but there are many more observers who aver that "Fai's confessional statement has caused serious damage to Kashmir cause. Freedom lovers all over the world were dismayed with his confessional statement. They have found that in his Kashmir related struggle it was the ISI that was at his back providing him with financial support and not the Pakistani government. With his confessional statement, everybody began to think that behind the Kashmir movement laid the hand of ISI." Thus it can be inferred that those who consider Fai as the representative of Kashmiri nation or their ambassador consider Fai as the supporter and propagator of the ideology of ISI and not of Kashmiris…
The founder of independent Kashmir Maqbul Bhat was very clear and unambiguous about Kashmir issue. He statd "that entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is disputed from Damchok to Lakahanpur and entire Kashmir is in slavery including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. Kashmiris will not settle for anything short of complete freedom and self rule." The slogans which he raised from his platform were as these "aar bhi mange azaadi paar bhi mange aazadi" meaning let freedom be demanded by people on this and that side of the line. In the struggle for freedom he lived in the prison houses of both India and Pakistan. He was not the founder of Liberation Front but the views and ideology of Liberation Front drew inspiration from his ideology. That is why Liberation Front always considers Maqbul Bhat the martyr as its founder. It is because of this ideological contradiction that there has been a constant disagreement in the past between the organizations demanding accession to Pakistan and those for independence of Kashmir. Not only that, they have been damaging each other militarily.
After Geelani Sahib's 24 December seminar on Fai, another seminar was organized in the name of Fai by the Liberation Front on January 1, 2012. After reading its proceedings, supporters of self rule in Kashmir, followers of Maqbul Bhat and millions of people on either side of the dividing line expressed their shock and regret. Chairman of Liberation Front, Yasin Malik, walking in the footsteps of Geelani labeled "Fai as the messenger of peace and representative of Kashmiris." Yes, Fai has many sacrifices to his credit and his struggle is also in place. But all these sacrifices and this entire struggle is for accession to Pakistan and not for the complete freedom of entire Jammu and Kashmir State. Let me remind my readers that the part of Kashmir with Pakistan has been divided by Pakistan into two parts meaning Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. It would be only proper to call Fai as representative of the struggle for accession to Pakistan instead of calling him the representative of Kashmiris. We would not have any objection to that. Mainstream parties in Kashmir obtain financial assistance from India and they also fight elections. People cast their votes in order to seek solution to their day to day problem. Now if tomorrow Omar Abdullah or Farooq Abdullah or Mufti Saeed projects himself as the representative of Kashmiris, will the supporters of pro-Pakistan accession or freedom supporters accept their claim? Never.
Let me make it clear. We are for complete freedom and self determination of the entire state. If in a free and fair plebiscite majority of people from Gilgit to Lakhanpur opt for accession to Pakistan, India, China, Saudi Arabia or America, we shall have to accept the verdict of the majority despite the fact that we differ with it. I would like to remind the assertion of Maqbul Bhat the Martyr to his followers that "any movement conducted in the state on religious grounds will fragment the state not only in terms of killing and bloodshed but more so because of communal hatred. It will exacerbate the atmosphere of hatred and mayhem in South Asia. In division on the basis of religion, the Muslims of Indo-Pak sub-continent and other religious communities will suffer permanent estrangement and get involved in perennial acrimony. Peace and progress can prevail in South Asia only when the State of Jammu and Kashmir is restored to its original position in 1947. It should be an independent state and a buffer between India, Pakistan and China."
I do expect that my readers look at this piece of writing from positive point of view as it deals with ideological question. I am not the enemy of those seeking accession to Pakistan nor do I harbour animus against Fai Sahib. I am actually elucidating the thoughts, ideas and the struggle of my deceased leader and guide. It is unfortunate that in the sub-continent and especially Kashmir people with positive thinking and with logic are invariably faced with opposition. The bard says:
"Kaan sun sun ke pak gaye Danish
Aise futwun se hogaye bezar
Baat jisne ki khari usko
Yaar logon ne kah diya gaddar"

Clear and Simple as the Truth: Writing Classic Prose - Second Edition, Edition 2
At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards.
The book is divided into four parts. The first, "Principles of Classic Style," defines the style and contrasts it with a number of others. "The Museum" is a guided tour through examples of writing, both exquisite and execrable. "The Studio," new to this edition, presents a series of structured exercises. Finally, "Further Readings in Classic Prose" offers a list of additional examples drawn from a range of times, places, and subjects. A companion website, classicprose.com, offers supplementary examples, exhibits, and commentary, and features a selection of pieces written by students in courses that used Clear and Simple as the Truth as a textbook.

Peaches Geldof Dead at Age 25
Peaches Geldof Died of a Heroin Overdose
Peaches Geldof's cause of death is being reported as a heroin overdose. An inquest to determine the facts of her passing went underway this week after an initial autopsy was inconclusive. Peaches, the daughter of Bob Geldof, died at the age of 25 on April 7 after police were called to her address in Kent, England, over a reported "concern for the welfare of a young woman." Peaches was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service, and the death was called "unexplained and sudden." Her father released a statement shortly after the news broke:
"We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."
Her husband, Thomas Cohen, later released his own statement:
"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons. I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."
Peaches was best known as a British socialite with an eccentric sense of style. She wrote a column for the UK version of Elle Girl and was the subject of several TV documentaries. She married Chester French drummer Max Drummey in 2008, but the pair divorced in February 2009. She later married Cohen, the lead singer of S.C.U.M., with whom she had two children, Astala and Phaedra.

Wind power proponents hold summit in Maine
Credit: 03/26/2014 | Reported By: Tom Porter | The Maine Public Broadcasting Network | www.mpbn.net ~~
With much of the state being buffeted by high winds today, it is perhaps fitting that one of the region's largest wind power conferences was held in Maine, attracting hundreds of stakeholders. About 150 businesses from Maine and beyond were attracted to the two-day event, which was held at a South Portland hotel. Tom Porter was there.
"For the second time in three years the American Wind Energy Association Northeast Regional Summit has come back to Maine because Maine is a real clean energy hub for the Northeast, and New England in particular," says Jeremy Payne (right), the executive director of the Maine Renewable Energy Association. "Maine has high quality wind, a skilled workforce, reasonable and predictable regulatory policies, and I think that's one of the things that's helped attract these companies to Maine."
Payne says some 750 businesses in Maine currently benefit from the state's wind power industry, which produces almost 500 megawatts of energy – theoretically enough to power about 250,000 homes.
Not present at the regional summit was anyone from the Maine Gov. Paul LePage's administration, which is no fan of the industry. Earlier this month, for example, the governor introduced a measure which would abandon the wind power development goal set by his predecessor.
"I don't think there's been any mystery of where the administration's been on this industry for the last three-and-a-half years," Payne says. "So I don't think there was any expectation that the governor would be delivering opening remarks. Certainly we continue to hope that his administration will come around and understand the value of this industry to the economy and the environment."
Payne also refers to opinion polls suggesting that an overwhelming majority of Americans support the development of wind farms. Chris O'Neil is not one of them.
"They're costing us money and air pollution," says O'Neil, a spokesman for Friends of Maine's Mountains. The group opposes the development of wind power, which O'Neil says on a typical day provides only about 1 percent of the region's energy needs.
O'Neil says increased investment in wind energy over the last couple of years has come at the expense of other relatively clean power sources, notably natural gas. And since wind power is too intermittent to be able to meet peak demand, ONeil says the result is more reliance on coal and oil, and more pollution to boot.
"So windpower invades Maine, forces us to buy a billion dollars worth of something that we don't need," he says, "and that does us no good, ruining hundreds of square miles of classic Maine mountains, and ruining our economy, and this is something to celebrate?" Critics like O'Neil also accuse the wind industry of relying too much on federal subsidies.
The industry's proponents, meanwhile, point out that all energy sources receive some support from the federal government. They also argue that wind power plays an important role in diversifying the region's energy mix, ensuring it doesn't get too reliant on any one energy source.

Between policy and patients : protocols and practice in HIV/AIDS treatment
Thesis (MA (Sociology and Social Anthropology))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
In recent years the World Heath Organisation (WHO) has recomended standardising HIV/AIDS treatment. Standardisation is based upon a particular model of what occurs within the relationship between a doctor and a patient and is propogated through the application of protocols. This thesis aims to illustrate how a doctor deals with a protocol in the face of contexts over-laden with contingency and excess which the protocol does not account for and which standardisation excludes. In other words, it explores how doctors deal with the failures and restrictions of standardised medicine. The central question this thesis aims to answer is: How do doctors on the ground deal with the standardising demands of global, as well as national, institutions in the face of highly contingent daily realities? I aim to answer this question by critically analysing the relationship between global institutions and the effects of their policies on the ground level. I argue that global organisation such as the WHO attempt to limit the particularities and contingency of local contexts in order to ensure the internal coherence of their own policies. This is made possible through 'interpretive communities' of experts, as well as, the relative opacity of ground level actions. However, I also illustrate how doctors applying these protocols are not merely pawns in the state's and global health organisations schemes but rather depend upon the opacity at ground level in order to ensure the well-being of those marginalised by protocols.

Milliken Forestry Company offers adaptable solutions – Forest Management and Chain of Custody consulting services – for forest landowners and forest products companies, big and small, to help them meet their customers' certified supply needs.
We specialize in FSC® and American Tree Farm certification and can also provide systems for other growing markets – like SBP, SFI and PEFC.
We have considerable experience with firms that produce and trade paper, packaging, lumber, logs, pulp, and biomass chips and pellets. We do this across a diverse array of complex forest types and ownerships – hardwood and softwood, upland and lowland.
Work with a proven leader in FSC® and ATFS® certification.
Milliken has managed certified forests and wood product chains of custody for over a decade. Our clients are a significant source of certified wood supply in the United States and we currently manage over 350 thousand acres certified to FSC®, ATFS® or SFI standards.
Milliken also helps some of the world's best companies prepare for and achieve certification — on budget and on time. We've made forest and supply chain certification faster and easier for forest landowners, loggers, wood dealers and mills.
We connect the forest to the consumer.
When manufacturers and companies ask for certified wood they get it from certified forests and landowners. Landowners benefit from certification in the form of market access, premiums, and recognition for good forestry practices. We make the process of forest certification as painless as possible for landowners, land managers, and procurement professionals with help from great technology and proprietary information management systems.
Award-winning firms trust MILLIKEN. Let us help you, too.
A number of our clients have won awards related to their forest certification and sustainability programs. We've helped them get there and can do the same for your firm or private forest.

i was disappointed by my fourth stitch fix so i was worried that it would start a trend. i've had the same stylist for most of my fixes and i thought – does she not get me? so i wrote a detailed note to her about what i wanted. basically – no special care items, mainly neutrals, new and different styles, and something in blush. … and she delivered.
my fifth fix was amazing! i literally squealed when i opened the box and got a peak at the style guide. then i unwrapped the tissue paper and tried everything on. i loved everything! there was one shirt that was a little sheer, but i can make it work. i fell in love with everything. i bought the whole box…again.
1. the jeans fit perfectly. they have a little stretch in them so they are tight, but comfortable. i love the flare at the bottom. i feel like that style is flattering to me, and i'm glad it's coming back into style.
2. the green tank is a little tight across the chest, but the color was so pretty and the style was flattering so i kept it. it goes well with the gray cardigan.
3. i love the cream embroidered shirt! it fits really well and the colors are so pretty. i can see myself wearing it all summer.
4. the gray cardigan is flattering and matches with lots of things i already have. the back is ruffled just a bit to give it a feminine touch.
5. the gold necklace has two strands, each with an emblem on the bottom. i like the edge it can give an outfit.
i've already scheduled my next fix for mid july. i don't do stitch fix every month. more like every three months. i just can't afford it. but i enjoy the experience and i've had quite a bit of success with stitch fix. it's helped me build my wardrobe and find my own style. i didn't even realized that i liked the modern style until i started using the service. most of my clothes are now modern with a side of classic. it's taught me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. chances are it will pay off.
HERE's my first experience and impressions on the service
HERE's info about my second box
HERE's info on my third box
and HERE's info on my fourth box and advice for first timers

Son's plea for dad's stolen medals
A CALOUNDRA man has made an emotional plea for the return of his father's service medals, which were stolen in a raid on his home last week.
John Kilminster claimed his dad's World War II medals only recently and had them mounted for his grandson Lachlan to wear in yesterday's Anzac Day march.
The 15-year-old had already marched with his great-grandfather's World War I medals and was looking forward to adding to the collection.
But when thieves broke into Mr Kilminster's Moffat Beach home and ransacked his office, they took the safe containing the precious mementoes.
The retiree said his father rarely spoke about his experiences overseas, which made the medals even more precious.
In fact, Alfred Kilminster only told his son three things about his time in both wars.
The mate he signed up to World War I with died when he was hit by a mortar; he went AWOL and got drunk on the banks of the River Seine in France; and he ended up in hospital in England after being hit with nerve gas.
"They stole the entire safe, which had my father's life story about his life as an A Grade cricketer, a WWII medal awarded to my mother for her service at home and a one and only gold traveller's medal with my father's name on it," Mr Kilminster said.
Also taken was a valuable Australian Imperial Forces hat badge.
"Everything else we can replace, the only things I'd like to get back are the war medals and badge," Mr Kilminster.
"They are of no value to anyone else as they are ordinary service badges, but they mean so much to me and my family as they bring back memories."
Caloundra police had told him the thieves were "pros" but he said he hoped they would show some compassion and return the medals.

South West Scotland Tourist Information
From Kilmarnock in the North, to the South West tip on the island-like Stranraer and Drummore promontory, and inland along the Solway Firth to the likes of Gretna, Castle Douglas and Newton Stewart, South West Scotland also stretches up the A74(M) through Lockerbie and Moffat.
What's South West Scotland like?
This is a picturesque and fertile area with weather gifted by the gulf stream, and is home to Robert Burns country. The Western coastline is peppered with beautiful sandy bays (with views across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man), and seaside towns and villages like Portpatrick, while the inland uplands of the Carrick countryside inspire walkers to just keep on going…
Robert Burns
Robert Burns, the "Ploughman Poet" and the national poet of Scotland, was born in Alloway, and is undoubtedly one of Ayrshire's most famous sons. In addition to the Burns Museums and monument near to his birthplace in Alloway, there are others within Scotland, notably in Kay Park, Kilmarnock, the location of the Burns Monument Centre. See also our page
Gardens and the outdoors
Lush plantings and wild greenery abound because of the gulf stream's warming influence on the weather, so the visitor might want to take advantage of the visitor-friendly gardens in this area. Walled gardens, garden centres and nurseries are certainly wonderful, as are the wild gardens, framed by granite mountains. And if you love walking, wildlife, cycling, or horse-riding, this is a wonderful base for an active holiday, with golfers being equally well catered for. Ayrshire is renowned as one of the best golfing districts in Scotland – with three Open Championship courses to its credit, plus many other smaller ones along the coastline.
Described as the highlands of the lowlands, the Galloway Forest Park is Britain's largest and covers 300 square miles over coastal and mountainous regions – in fact it covers a very large portion of the South West. Much-loved by spotters of wildlife, birds such as barn owls, crossbills, buzzards, golden eagles and raptors have all been regularly spotted.
Just some of the many castles
Castle Kennedy village, near Stranraer, is home to a ruined castle. In fact, there are two castles in the village but only Castle Kennedy with its 30 hectares of terraced gardens allows visitors.
Culzean Castle, on the other hand, is no ruin and is in fact one of the finest properties accessible to visitors in Scotland. Situated on the mainland with views to the Isle of Arran, it is a spectacular building with plenty to see indoors and outdoors, and even has a deer park!
How to get there
The inner South West area (around Lockerbie, Moffat and Dumfries), is extremely accessible, being very close to the main motorway network – the A74(M) bringing visitors from the M6 at Carlisle. Further West, towards to coast, the whole peninsula is criss-crossed with a network of major A roads – the A77 on the West coast, linking with the M77 to Glasgow in the North, and the A75 along the South coast towards Carlisle.
Where to stay
We are pleased to offer visitors to this picturesque and accessible, tourist-friendly area, a wonderful variety of self-catering holiday cottages, hotels and guest houses. We are also able to offer some apartments, caravan/holiday park facilities and also rooms within pubs and inns.

UCF-Area Retail Asset Goes Epic
- By
- Jul 05, 2015
By Balazs Szekely, Associate Editor
Austin-based Epic Real Estate Partners has acquired a 175,977-square-foot neighborhood shopping center in Oviedo, less than 10 minutes from the University of Central Florida campus.
One of the largest retail properties in its market area, Alafaya Square is located at 19 Alafaya Woods Blvd. on 21-plus acres. Anchored by a Publix grocery store, it comprises one main building and two outparcels that are currently leased to Planet Fitness, International House of Pancakes and other national tenants.
Alafaya Square's suburban market includes more than 60,000 UCF students. The property was renovated most recently in 2005.
An HFF investment sales team led by Brad Peterson, Whitaker Leonhardt, Michael Brewster and Anthony Frogameni arranged the transaction on behalf of the seller, a partnership between Weingarten Realty Investors and an institutional partner that sold the property free and clear of existing debt.

my november is your january
remember in january when all you see on tv is commercials for fitness stuff? weirdo expensive diet plans, gym discounts, new home gym gadgets, weight loss supplements.... that's what i think about when i think of january. i, too, have fallen into the trap a few times after packing on the pounds after the holidays (gosh we're surrounded by such great cooks and bakers!)
i want this year to be different, i want to get a head start on the fitness crunch before the holidays so maybe i'll already be in "dropping pounds" mode and won't go for that extra cookie (or 2 or 3) ....so, i declare that my november is your January.
when i came home from working in boston, i knew i had to make a change. mr p and i were more diligent about going to kickboxing after work, but it wasn't enough for my goals. i joined another gym, i've been running an extra 10-15 miles a week, and i've been guzzling down goopy green smoothies and eating salads at lunch.
i'm still pretty terrible on the weekends, eating more than i should, working out less than i should (aka not at all), and drinking precisely zero glasses of water. i'll be the first to admit that I have no boundaries when we travel. i'll still choose that Redd's Strawberry Ale over a light beer (or no alcohol at all), and it's tough to say no to delicious home-cooked meals that you don't get everyday (mr p's mom is a pretty awesome cook, so is he, but their styles are so different)
so, i push myself so hard during the week, many days getting in 2 workouts a day, and slurge on the weekends. with the exception of a mini jersey city bar crawl this weekend with friends from philly, i hope to stay a little bit more on track.
how do you stay on track on the weekends? do you work out? do you eat better? where does your motivation come from? i'm struggling here!
if you saw the above picture on instagram, you know that my recent motivation/inspiration is joy johnson. yes, she passed away, but she also ran the new york city marathon 25 times AFTER turning 59. with that said, no excuse is a good excuse to not find time to work out or eat healthy on the weekends....
regardless, i'm 6 pounds down... i gotta keep it up!

GO YOU! Sigh. I have got to kick my butt into gear! I've been trying to eat vegan + no oil (for my boyfriend who has a heart condition), which really cuts off weight quickly, but I cannot seem to make myself run. I don't know why I hate it so much. I think if I did it everyday for like a month maybe it would stop sucking so much. I guess it would also help to have winter running attire. Maaaaaybe I will try! You're certainly inspiring me!
I hate motivating myself with weight because I feel like I never even get close to losing 10 or 15 lbs and then just give up. Maybe I should have that as a goal in the back of my mind and motivate myself to just get a run in every day?

Critics have called New York-based pianist/composer Dan Tepfer "brilliant" (the Boston Globe), "inventive" (New York Times) and "certainly among those clearly willing to play with familiar formulas and take new approaches, even as he incorporates strokes from the masters" (Jazzreview.com). While he has played with some of the great names in jazz Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Bob Brookmeyer and Charles McPherson, to name a few he strives to create music that is distinctly of our time.
Born in Paris, France, in 1982 to American parents, Tepfer started classical piano studies at the age of six at the Paris Conservatoire Paul Dukas. He soon began to explore improvisation on his own and remained largely self-taught in jazz into his college years. After earning a bachelors in astrophysics from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he also played extensively on the jazz scene and enjoyed a brief stint as an opera conductor, he was offered a scholarship to complete his masters in jazz at the New England Conservatory in Boston under the guidance of Danilo Pérez. Graduating with honors in 2005, he moved to New York City, where he is in demand as a pianist, composer and educator.
His work has been recognized with a number of recent awards, including the first prize and audience prize at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition, the first prize at the 2006 East Coast Jazz Festival Competition, and the first prize at the 2007 competition of the American Pianists Association leading him to be named the 2007-2009 Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz.
His new release, OXYGEN, follows his acclaimed debut Before the Storm, which was voted one of the top ten CDs of 2005 by Cadence Magazine. Both albums feature his longstanding trio with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Richie Barshay (whom Tepfer shares with Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea). The group has been noted for its exceptional chemistry on stage, which reflects its more than four years of international touring. Dan also pursues an active solo career, with a recent focus on full concerts of freely improvised music. He has been named a Cultural Envoy of the U.S. State Department, with recent travels to Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Czech Republic.
Actively involved in jazz education, Dan has given lectures and master classes in universities and conservatories throughout the world. These include the Royal Academy of Music (London), the Seoul Institute of the Arts (South Korea), the Chopin Conservatory (Warsaw), the Swiss Jazz School (Bern, Switzerland), and the SMU Meadows School of the Arts (Dallas, Texas), among many others.
Recent or upcoming engagements include Carnegie Halls Zankel Hall with Jeff Ballard and Chris Cheek, New Yorks Jazz Gallery and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola with Lee Konitz, the Indianapolis Jazz Festival and the Kennedy Center with his trio, and solo concerts at the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Radio France Festival in Montpellier, and the Fazioli Salon in New York City.
