Covelli & Friends – A Different Drummer
by firstname.lastname@example.com
Covelli and Friends will present A Different Drummer on Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 PM for the second Classical Piano Plus! Series Concert at the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage. This series consists of three concerts featuring Maestro John Covelli at the piano and is sponsored by NBT Bank and GDI Integrated Facility Services and is underwritten by Ed and Karen Levene.
Joining Covelli for A Different Drummer is world renowned steelpannist Liam Teague. Teague will be performing some of his own compositions, as well as Tico Tico no Fubá by Zequinha de Abreu. Teague and Covelli will perform, among other selections, Paganini's Moto Perpetuo Op. 11 together and Covelli will conclude the concert with Gershwin's Sleepless Night and Rhapsody in Blue.
"The Classical Piano Plus series with John Covelli and friends is always highly anticipated," said Naima Kradjian, CEO. "It does often sell out, so please call early for tickets."
Most local audiences remember Maestro John Covelli as the conductor of the Binghamton Philharmonic. Many do not realize he was a piano prodigy, pleasing audiences since the age of four. Chicago-born, John Covelli was credited in his youth with numerous concerts, broadcast recitals and special musical awards. He performed at the Chicago Music Festival with the Chicago Symphony at age 9. As a teenager, John was the only concert pianist ever to win the famous Godfrey Talent Scout Program and appeared in a series of nationwide CBS-TV performances. His New York debut drew rave notices from every newspaper and major publication present including The New York Times stating, "This is one of the best debut recitals in our recollection." While conductor and soloist of the famed Seventh Army Symphony, he was selected special musical ambassador for USIS, gleaning accolades as featured touring soloist throughout Europe.
Hailed as the "Paganini of the Steelpan," Liam Teague currently serves as the Head of Steelpan Studies and Associate Professor of Music at Northern Illinois University. Along with Clifford Alexis, he co-directs the NIU Steelband.
He has received many awards in his homeland of Trinidad and Tobago, including the Humming Bird Award (Silver) for "loyal and devoted service," and won of a number of notable competitions such as the Trinidad and Tobago National Steelband Festival Solo Championship and the Saint Louis Symphony Volunteers Association Young Artiste Competition.
His commitment to demonstrating the great musical possibilities of the steelpan has taken Teague to Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as North and Central America and the Caribbean.
He has performed with many diverse ensembles, including Taiwan National Symphony, Czech National Symphony, Saint Louis Symphony, Panama National Symphony, Chicago Sinfonietta, Vermeer String Quartet, Dartmouth Wind Ensemble, University of Wisconsin-Madison Marching Band, Nexus, TCL Group Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra, BPtt Renegades Steelband and Starlift Steel Orchestra.
Teague has collaborated with such prominent musicians as Paquito D'Rivera, Dave Samuels, Zakir Hussain, and Evelyn Glennie. As a performer and clinician, Teague has given presentations at several Percussive Arts Society International Conventions (PASIC) and at many educational institutions throughout the world.
He is steelband director at Birch Creek Music Performance Center in Door County, Wisconsin, and he has also taught and performed at the California State University Summer Arts Camp and at the Interlochen Academy for the Performing Arts.
A strong advocate for original steelpan compositions, Teague has commissioned a number of significant composers to write for the instrument, including Michael Colgrass, Jan Bach, Libby Larsen, Deborah Fisher Teason, Joey Sellers, Ben Wahlund, Erik Ross and Kevin Bobo.
Many of his own compositions are published with MaumauMusic, PanPress and RamajayMusic.
Teague has served as musical arranger of the TCL Group Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra and Starlift Steel Orchestra for Panorama, the most prestigious steelband competition in the world.
To date, Teague has recorded eight compact discs, including Hands Like Lightning (1993), For Lack of Better Words (2002), Panoramic: Rhythm Through an Unobstructed View (2005) and Open Window (2010).
Tickets for Covelli and Friends are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and students. The Firehouse also offers a 20% discount to veterans and teachers; however, discounts cannot be combined. Tickets can be purchased online at: www.goodwilltheatre.net or by calling the Box Office at (607) 772-2404, ext. 301.

My Research Dashboard showcases usage and citations in a single location
The personalized dashboards have been developed to help you understand how your publications are being read, shared and cited
By Elizabeth Holmes Posted on 6 August 2015
Claim your My Research Dashboard in 4 easy steps
- Type in the url www.myresearchdashboard.com.
- Register or sign in with your Scopus or ScienceDirect credentials.
- Select your name from the drop-down list.
- Await the email containing your unique dashboard link (NB: This will be sent to the same email address you used to register).
Technology has enhanced every facet of the publishing process - including the submission, research and editing processes - but early feedback and real-time metrics on your publications can be difficult to come by.
Elsevier has long offered CiteAlert, an email service notifying authors when their work is referenced in a newly published article on ScienceDirect. Then, in 2013, we launched Article Usage Reports, informing authors how often their articles have been accessed and by which countries.
Now Elsevier has combined and improved upon these services with the launch of My Research Dashboard. Any author who has published at least one article with Elsevier within the last 10 years will be eligible to register for a personalized dashboard that connects the power of Scopus, ScienceDirect and Mendeley to offer:
- Early feedback on how your publications are being downloaded, shared and cited;
- data about the geographic locations and research disciplines of readers;
- detailed information about search terms used in ScienceDirect to find your publications;
- comparative data, such as the Publication Rating Tool; and
- Mendeley social usage data, which offers tips for sharing publications with peers.
In addition, and unlike Article Usage Reports, My Research Dashboard leverages information in your Scopus profile to offer data about all of your publications - not just those published by Elsevier.
Once you have registered for your dashboard, you will receive monthly updates when there are new usage or citation metrics to report on. You will also be able to access your personal dashboard at any time using a password protected log in.
As My Research Dashboard is rolled out this year, the current Article Usage Reports and CiteAlert services will be phased out.
My Research Dashboard is the result of the combined efforts of Elsevier's Research Applications & Platform (RAP) and STMJ's Marketing Communications & Researcher Engagement (MCRED) teams. It supports Elsevier's mission to combine data from our platforms and create tools for researchers that help them be in control of information, make valuable connections and deliver higher quality research.

My Research Dashboard - the benefits
Wouter Haak, Elsevier's Vice President of Product Strategy, Research Applications & Platform (RAP), led the team responsible for developing the new dashboard. He explains: "We recognize that it can take about two to three years before an author sees the first signs after having published his or her research and that can be a long time to wait for feedback. With My Research Dashboard, we shorten that time to mere weeks."
He adds: "We believe that it's just as important to provide services after you have published with us. We want to keep you informed and engaged, and help you discover information about who's reading your publication that you might not otherwise know. There is nothing like it available elsewhere today."
Elsevier's Microbiology Publisher Sheba Agarwal-Jans works closely with postdoctoral researchers and understands the need for early feedback. She welcomes the opportunities offered by My Research Dashboard's Audience Map feature to identify and establish new collaborations for future papers. She says: "If you look at the country breakdown, you might find a high volume of viewing activity taking place in an unlikely country, and you can research who in the field in that location is working on that topic—who it is that might be viewing your paper. There are ways to use the metrics to help in understanding if there is a potential collaboration with either someone or a group in that country."
Marcel Reuter, a postdoctoral researcher at Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, was involved in the team testing My Research Dashboard. He says: "What is valuable is that the dashboard provides an overview of how the publication is perceived. It's useful to see the insight of communities and countries — especially when it is unexpected. Then you can decide if you'd like to contact others from those areas. The geographical information aids in understanding who the target audience is, and can help steer future publications."

Holland & Holland firearms
Holland & Holland firearms are guns produced by British firearm manufacturer Holland & Holland from the year 1835.
Background & history of production
Holland & Holland was founded by Harris Holland in 1835. There are several guns bearing the inscription H. Holland with no address, and it is likely these were built in the trade but to his design prior to his establishing his own manufacturing plant in the 1850s. His nephew Henry Holland joined him as an apprentice in 1861, who became a partner in 1867, and the name changed to Holland & Holland in 1876.
In 1883, Holland & Holland won the rifle category of the Field Magazine gun trials, setting a competitive standard of excellence among English gunmakers. In 1885, patents were granted to the company for their Paradox gun, a shotgun with two inches of rifling in the front of the barrel, intended to be used as both a rifle and a shotgun. These guns were intended for use by hunters in India and Africa, their interchangeable nature making them useful for both large and small game without having to carry multiple guns.
In 1908, they patented the detachable lock feature with small lever for use in sidelock shotguns. In 1922, Holland & Holland patented the assisted-opening mechanism, the last major development in the evolution of the sidelock side-by-side gun and was hugely influential.
Holland & Holland also created a number of very well known calibres, mostly for use in hunting. They are romantically associated with the golden age of safaris and game hunting.
Following World War II, the company travelled to Indian and bought back guns that had been owned by princes and maharajahs. They developed the market for second hand pieces with an interesting provenance.
In 1989, all remaining shares in Holland & Holland were bought by Chanel. They now produce hand built luxury guns costing around £60,000-£100,000, in the old styles. They are the only gunmakers, aside from James Purdey and Sons, to hold a British Royal Warrant.
Collecting guide
Holland & Holland guns are highly collectible, associated as they are with royalty, hunting, and safari. They were often engraved or embellished attractively. They become more valuable when associated with an interesting historical figure.
Notable auction sales
- Holland & Holland .465 Nitro express royal ejector double rifle, sold for $57,500 at Heritage Auctions in September 2011.
- Holland & Holland, fine pair of 12-bore Casbard engraved Model de Luxe self-opening sidelock ejector guns, sold for £60,000 at Sotheby's in August 2006.

Oh the cologne! Part 2
If you can't stand the heat, get (fragrance) out of the kitchen
I am fascinated by the wide array of notes that are eminently suited to eaux de Cologne – it means that everyone can find a version that suits them. Today I've gone into the kitchen to try eaux based around food and drink – from a mouthwatering herbal refresher to a nice cuppa tea.
You may think it's not worth spending money on a fragrance that is essentially built around topnotes and designed to be fleeting and gone in a couple of hours. However, many big-name brands are ridiculously affordable for fine fragrance (15 Euro for 125mls? no, that's not a typo), and supermarket brands are even cheaper. I almost always have some Maurer and Wirtz 4711 original eau de cologne in my handbag, just like my Grandmother before me (no violet sweeties though – mint chewing gum is more my speed). I use it like the French do – to cool down and refresh my skin on hot days. I have family in France where in every bathroom there is a bottle of Eau de Cologne, usually a litre bottle of a supermarket brand, and it's treated like any other bathroom consumable such as showergel or shampoo.

When the Oilers embarked on their four game road trip, they were in a very great spot. They had won four of their last five and were in a position to take over the top spot in the Pacific Division if they could win their games in hand.
The four game trip had two very winnable games against Detroit and Florida with a pair of very tough matchups against Washington and Tampa Bay sandwiched in between them. The realistic expectation was that the Oilers should win two at least two games on the trip. As we all know, they did not. It's a disappointing result, but this three game slide is far from the end of the world. It's not worth panicking about.
With the exception of the league's elite, every team will go through a three-game losing streak at some point. If you thought there wouldn't be peaks and valleys throughout this season, you're kidding yourself.
The fact that the Oilers have gone through two of their toughest road trips of the season and are currently sitting above .500 is something I would consider a massive victory.
There are also some positives that we can take from this three-game slide, believe it or not. The first is that they actually played pretty well against Tampa Bay and Washington. A couple of breaks in either game and they could have come away with at least a point. In the game against the Capitals, the Oilers had a 58% Corsi for. That's good.
The other positive I pull from this is that they lost to Eastern Conference teams. I would rather have them go through a slump against teams from the other conference instead of dropping a string of games to the teams they're directly competing with for a playoff spot.
To go with those positives, there are some things that I found concerning.
THE FIRST GOAL: It's become a cliche in hockey, but the first goal is crucial. In the Oilers previous four wins, they scored the first goal of the game. During their three game losing streak… you guessed it… they surrendered the first goal every single time.
In the Washington and Florida games, they had some good looks early, but couldn't find the back of the net. So I wouldn't say it's a matter of them starting slow, but they need to find a way to get on the board first.
FATIGUED CORE: The Oilers don't have a lot of players who can be counted on to give them solid minutes. Their third line can't score, their fourth line has been inconsistent, and their third pairing is just straight up not that good. The result of the top heavy lineup is that Todd McLellan needs to rely on his stars to play significantly more minutes than what would be considered ideal.
Over the winning streak, that was fine, but I think we saw the downside of it during this recent road trip. Their stars looked fatigued during the final two games. Connor McDavid still had his dazzling moments and Leon Draisaitl has had a few good looks as well, but they aren't producing chances and dominating play at the same level they were when the team was beating good teams.
That's not a knock on them, the Oilers simply need to have stretches where their bottom six does more to help them win.
On the backend, I've seen a pair of rough games from the likes of Adam Larsson, Oscar Klefbom, and Darnell Nurse. I think that's a result of them being overworked.
The Oilers either need more from their support players or they need to bring in some help for their stars.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Over the losing streak, the Oilers powerplay has gone 2/11. One of those goals was a pretty weak goal (McDavid's shot vs Pheonix Copley). They aren't getting results and they aren't even getting scoring chances at an acceptable rate when their top unit is on the ice. When that top unit goes off the ice, they're stunningly awful.
Todd McLellan finally took Milan Lucic off the top unit, but no one else has really stepped up and done well in his spot. Something needs to change with this unit.
Their penalty kill has allowed three goals on 12 attempts. They're running at 75%, which isn't an awful number given the small sample size, but I have a problem with the goals they've given up.
Ryan Strome made an awful play on the Jonathan Huberdeau powerplay goal, allowing a perfect seam pass to go through the slot. Against Washington, they surrendered a powerplay goal less than a minute after Leon Draisaitl made it a one goal game. Poor discipline gave Washington a shot to grab back momentum, and the Oilers powerplay couldn't bail them out.
LOSING MOMENTUM: Against Florida, Leon Draisaitl made it a one goal game quickly in third, it took just over three minutes for Florida to regain a two-goal lead. In the second period against Tampa, Ryan Strome scored a goal to bring the Oil within one and the Lightning responded 47 seconds later. Down 3-1 to Washington, Leon Draisaitl scored to bring the team within one and then Ovechkin scored under three minutes later.
They struggled to gain any momentum and when it looked like they had a sniff of it, they immediately let the other team break their backs.
I said off the top that this slump isn't anything to panic about, which I know is a little contradictory considering I just laid out a laundry list of things that I didn't like about their play, but I think they can overcome a lot of those problems. They'll need to figure quickly though.
After taking on the Avalanche tomorrow and the Habs early next week, the Oilers embark on one of the most crucial stretches of their season.
Between November 17th and 29th, they will play seven games, six of them against Pacific Division opponents. It should come as no surprise that teams that don't do well against their own division rarely make the playoffs.
We're also getting close to American Thanksgiving, which is regularly used as a barometer to determine which teams have a realistic chance at making the playoffs. Since 2011, between 75-80% of teams that hold a playoff spot on American Thanksgiving make the playoffs. Between 3-4 teams a year will overcome those odds.
taring down a string of divisional games, or 'four-point swings' as some call them, at a crucial time of the season, the Oilers need to go into 'playoff mode'. Things aren't going great for them right now and they'll need to turn it around and start playing some desperate hockey quickly if they want to stay in the postseason hunt.

It sounded, for a few minutes Friday at the murder trial of a Montreal mother, father and son accused of killing four family members, that no one in the packed courtroom was breathing, save for the Crown prosecutor. Gerard Laarhuis confronted Tooba Mohammad Yahya (inset) with a detailed theory of how she and her co-accused, Mohammad Shafia, 58, and son Hamed, 21, murdered three daughters and her husband's first wife and conspired to conceal it. It was the first time in the three months since the trial began that the prosecution had clearly outlined all the key elements of the alleged crime.
Spectators were nearly silent as Laarhuis put the plot to Yahya. First, he suggested, the victims were drowned at Kingston Mills, the isolated spot along the Rideau Canal in Kingston.
He noted that in an interrogation July 22, 2009, the day she was arrested, Yahya told a police officer "if I was awake and they were pressing and putting them into the water, I might have … heard a sound of splashing or something."
Laarhuis noted that the interrogator had never used that language to describe what might have happened and he never referred to "splashing," which suggested a person or people in the water.
"These were not random words and they were not careless words," Laarhuis said, speaking softly. "I'm putting to you that the 'they' that were pressing and putting them into the water were Shafia and Hamed and you saw it."
"I have never seen those things," replied Yahya, 42, who has maintained that much of what she told the interrogator was a lie, concocted to get him to leave her alone or to save her son Hamed.
Laarhuis said someone drove the car containing "the bodies" to the stone edge of the canal wall.
"You needed a place where the car would drop straight down and be under the water," Laarhuis said. The headlights of the car, a black Nissan Sentra, were off. The wipers were off. The dome light was off, he said.
The driver got out of the vehicle, laden with four lifeless bodies, reached back inside the vehicle through the open driver's side window and moved the shifter into first gear, thinking the vehicle would roll into the water on its own power.
"What none of you expected, what was not part of the plan, was that the Nissan would get hung up," Laarhuis said. "Do you agree with that?"
"No, never," answered Yahya, through a Dari interpreter.
The predicament forced the killers to improvise, Laarhuis said. He suggested someone drove their other vehicle, a Lexus SUV, behind the Nissan and pushed it over the stone ledge and into the water, causing damage to the Lexus and the rear end of the Nissan.
"No sir, we are not murderers," Yahya retorted angrily. "We were a very sincere and collected family.
"This crime, we would never do such a crime. Don't ever tell me such a thing. I'm a mother … if you're a mother then you could know what's in the heart of a mother for a child. It's just a mom know that; no one else can feel that. Don't ever tell me that I killed my children. No, never."
Early on the morning of June 30, 2009, the Nissan was found submerged in about three metres of water in the canal in Kingston. Inside were the bodies of three Shafia children, Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13. Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, also was found dead inside the car. The victims had drowned. Mohammad was Shafia's first wife, whom he married in his native Afghanistan. The family moved to Canada in 2007 and settled in St. Leonard.
Three weeks after the deaths, the trio was arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. They have pleaded not guilty. They have said that they stopped around 2 a.m. at a motel in Kingston during a drive home to Montreal from Niagara Falls and Zainab likely took the car without permission and crashed it into the canal.
During Yahya's interrogation July 22, she told the police officer that the Nissan was never at the motel, a detail that fits the Crown theory of the crime but is inconsistent with the family's account of events.
Yahya has testified that she lied throughout the interrogation, in part because she feared her son Hamed was going to be tortured in cold water.
"You wanted to save Hamed all the time from going under water," Laarhuis noted. "Why didn't you try to save your daughters from going under water?"
Yahya began to sob as she answered.
"If I knew that my daughters would have gone under the water, I would have given my life, but I wouldn't let my daughters … die."
Before court adjourned for the weekend, Laarhuis said he likely has another two hours of questions for Yahya, who was on the witness stand for five consecutive days.
Defence lawyers are expected to call several more witnesses before the trial concludes.

|Okay, okay, okay, so maybe it didn't snow,
maybe it just felt like it was going to. Do
you buy that?
Wouldn't you know, my favorite recipe for this thick, watch a spoon stand up in the middle of the bowl, concoction isn't vegan. Yet I wondered if I could change things around a bit, delete a little of that and add some of this. So I gave it a try. Doggone, it's every bit as good as my non-vegan recipe. I kid you not. I served the heady mixture in big, steamy bowls and sprinkled the top with vegan sour cream, minced green onions and Daiya cheese shreds. Corn muffins hot from the oven were my only side. I ate two. Since I was now too full to move, I rolled myself into the living room, covered up with a favorite afghan, and laid on the floor to watch the Movie Channel.
Life doesn't get any better than that.

Cook everything together over medium heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn it to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. I let mine simmer an hour. If the chili is too soupy, remove the lid and continue cooking till the mixture thickens to your liking.
Serve with vegan sour cream, minced green onions, and vegan cheese shreds.
Perhaps I ought to warn you that this is a spicy chili. It won't make your mouth burn to eat it, but it you don't like any heat at all, leave out the jalapeno and the cayenne pepper. But be warned! You'll be turning a GREAT chili into a mediocre one.

Meerlust 30 October
The first vintage in South Africa took place in February 1659 – a date which coincides roughly with the first harvests of the Bordeaux First Growths. A mere 34 years later the Meerlust estate was granted to Henning Husing. In 1757 the property came into the hands of the Myburgh family, with whom it has remained to this day. It is an arresting thought that the Myburghs acquired Meerlust roughly 100 years after Van Riebeeck set up the Dutch colony at the Cape, when slavery was the primary source of labour in South Africa and America, before James Cook landed in Australia and when viticulture was also in its infancy in the Medoc. I can think of no other Cape estate – or, for that matter, any Bordeaux property – which could make a comparable claim to longevity and continuity.
Meerlust burst onto the modern South African wine scene in the second half of the 1970s. Nico Myburgh, father of the present owner Hannes, had been a grape grower rather than a wine producer for most of his life. With the growing fashion for red wine (which followed the promulgation of the wine of origin legislation in 1973) a small portion of his grape harvest was designated for estate wine production in 1975. Within a few years – and with a great deal of fanfare – the first 20th century vintage of Meerlust came to market. It was a single varietal Cabernet and it was an instant success.
Distributed through the trade on an "allocation only" basis, it sold out swiftly. At the time I did not think of it as a striking example of Cape cabernet: it was elegant and refined, but lacked the intensity and fruit sweetness of the traditional "dikvoet" examples which came from warmer bush-vine sites in the more inland parts of Stellenbosch and Paarl. This is not to say I didn't like it – but it was a wine to admire, rather than to be seduced by. Well stored bottles have aged rather well. I had one a few weeks back which was as polished and precise as the first bottles I tasted in the 1970s.
Nico Myburgh – working at the time quite closely with The Bergkelder's Julius Laszlo – continued as an innovator and pioneer. The next year he launched what turned out to be the only vintage ever of Meerlust Pinotage – a wine which has aged as well as the cabernet harvested the year before. From 1977 no wine was sold under the Meerlust label. It was an egregious vintage and it didn't take much judgement to decide that no good would come from bottling anything from that most miserable of harvests. 1978 saw another very fine Meerlust Cabernet and it seemed that this was where the future of the brand lay. But Myburgh had also been one of the first to plant merlot in South Africa and in 1980 Meerlust became only the second South African winery to release a Bordeaux blend. Rubicon (celebrating the wine's revolutionary role) was an instant success and it has remained the flagship of the range ever since.
In the past 40 years only three winemakers have been in control of Meerlust's cellars (in effect really only two, because by 1978 Giorgio dalla Cia took charge and remained in that position until he handed over to Chris Williams, the present incumbent, in 2004. It has had only two members of the Myburgh family directing it – Nico until his death in 1988 and Hannes since then. In every sense of the word, it is a monument and a national treasure. This does not mean that all its wines are world class – or even extraordinary. For that matter, nor is everything that has come from Chateau Latour or Mouton Rothschild. But together with the great properties of Bordeaux, Meerlust is an icon. In an age when the celebration of the new and untested takes precedence over the long-established, this is worth remembering.

From the Colloquium – A Semester Wrap Up
The semester has come to an end here at Valparaiso University. Grades are in and graduation is set for May 16 and 17. The Postdoctoral Fellows will be donning cap and gowns to walk as members of the Valpo faculty. They started the year with that rig at the beginning of the academic year for Convocation; it seems fitting that we will all dress up once again as the undergraduates and law students process out into the world. Some of our fellows are doing just that as well. Our second-year fellows, Ian Clausen and Katherine Kennedy Steiner are leaving for positions at Villanova University and the University of Toronto. Ian will start in the fall as an Arthur J. Ennis Fellow in the Augustine and Cultural Seminar Program. Kate will be a Mellon Fellow at the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto for 2015-2016. One of our first year fellows, Jennifer Illig leaves us for Mount Saint Mary's Monastery in Wrenthem, MA where she begins her new life as a postulant.
These fellows will begin a new phase in their lives. They leave the LFP and Linwood House and join the ranks of Former Fellows and live their vocations in different ways. The colloquium readings for the second half of the spring semester were then fitting as we explored various manifestations (and definitions) of vocation, scholarly pursuits, and teaching within the context of higher education. Typically, the readings and discussions at this point in the year remain rich, but they tend to move in more personal and practical directions. The shared conversations between established faculty mentors and participants of the colloquium and the fellows get more to the meat of teaching, what it looks like in our classrooms, how we see ourselves at a particular university, and all the while contemplating the Future of Higher Education. (Yes, a lot goes on in the hour and a half we meet.)
Our readings largely focused on the nature of the humanities and vocation in both public and private/religiously affiliated institutions. We explored vocation and the growing adjunctification of the academy. We asked ourselves "how practices and perspectives from Christian faith and tradition contribute to [our] teaching and scholarship." With that we examined how we personally define vocation. Is it a calling to a state in life or is it a call to meet the needs of the world in whatever we do? Or both? We rounded out of semester with selections from Mark Schwehn and Dorothy Bass' Leading Lives that Matter: What We Should Do and Who We Should Be. In particular, we read Bonnie Miller-McLemore's "Generativity Crises of My Own," Abigail Zuger's "Defining a Doctor," Martha Nussbaum's "Interview by Bill Moyers," and Mary Catherine Bateson's "Composing a Life Story." We ended our spring colloquium with a rousing discussion of how we hope to find compromise and balance in our lives – how we will be dedicated teachers, present for our students, all the while committed to our scholarship, and yet be equally present for our friends and families. What that looks like exactly is anyone's guess! The conversation and fellowship continued over a delightful pot-luck supper. As spring finally came to our door, we look forward to what comes next. — Posted by Mary Beth Fraser Connolly

Elexon API Web Scraping using Python
This post is the second in a series applying machine learning techniques to an energy problem. The goal of this series is to develop models to forecast the UK Imbalance Price.
- Introduction - What is the Imbalance Price
- Getting Data - Scraping the ELEXON API
This post shows how to scrape UK Grid data using the ELEXON API. If you just want to skip to the code - the script is here. This worked is inspired by work from the excellent Patrick Avis of the Energy Analyst.
ELEXON provides technical data such as generation, along with market volumes and prices. A full detail of available data is given in the Elexon API guide.
Accessing data requires an API key, available by setting up a free Elexon account. The API is accessed by passing a URL with the API key and report parameters. The API will return either an XML or a CSV document.
scraping the ELEXON API
The functionality to scrape ELEXON data is held within a Python script
elexon_data_scraping.py. This script is located in the GitHub repo for the electricity price forecasting project.
I make use of the argparse library to send the API key into the script
$ cd electricity_price_forecasting
$ python elexon_data_scraping.py --key 'YOUR_API_KEY'
A class ReportGrabber uses the
requests library to get the XML response from the ELEXON API. The
xml library is used to process and parse the XML object for the data we want into a dictionary.
We then make use of
pandas to create dataframes
# to join data across multiple days (single report)
all_dates = pd.concat(dataframes, axis=0)
# to join data across multiple reports
all_reports = pd.concat(dataframes, axis=1)
A simple example of using the ReportGrabber class
# start python in interactive mode
$ python -i elexon_data_scraping.py --key 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# create a ReportGrabber object for the imbalance price
>>> report = ReportGrabber('B1770', ['imbalancePriceAmountGBP'], APIKEY)
# create a dictionary with the API data
>>> output_dict = report.scrape_report('2017-01-01')
scraping B1770 2017-01-01
# create a dataframe
>>> output = report.create_dataframe(output_dict)
>>> output.head()
time_stamp imbalancePriceAmountGBP
2017-01-01 00:30:00 40.00000
2017-01-01 01:00:00 46.86500
2017-01-01 01:30:00 40.24737
2017-01-01 02:00:00 40.05000
2017-01-01 02:30:00 40.01602

I am noticing the same thing in my large landscape book... the dimensions of the photo container I create does not match up with the ruler guides nor the size of the book! Could someone from Blurb please address this issue/error?
In Bookwright, why don't the ruler guides match up with the size of photo or text frames?
The ruler guides in Bookwright do not seem to match the indicated sizes of objects. I created a text box and dragged it so that it covered one page exactly. When I looked at the indicated dimensions of the text box it said that it was 12.84 by 11 inches (which is larger than the book is supposed to be). How is this possible when the rulers indicate that a page is 9 5/8 inch x 8 1/4 inch.?
Please sign in to leave a comment.

The same for me. I am designing a 25x20cm and the ruler shows a different size!
I have just downloaded Bookright and it's not all right at all!
I had the old version of this about two years ago and published a book - it worked just fine. I have just started another book with the new version and after an hour and a half of frustration have given up and will look for another company. Will look to see if the old one is still available first.

Doctors do not know for sure what causes retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Blood vessels in the eyes normally finish developing a few weeks before birth. An infant who is born early is exposed to many different things. Medicine, oxygen, bright lights, or temperature changes might affect how an eye's blood vessels develop.
Here are some of the things doctors think might contribute to ROP:
Caucasian (white) babies are more likely to get ROP than babies who are African-American. Premature infants are also more likely to get ROP if they have other health problems. These problems include anemia (low levels of iron in the blood), not enough vitamin E, or breathing problems.

text: I had an LED ceiling light (not downlight) on a scene that turned it on at 10% and it was working just fine. But it suddenly stopped working and now at 10% or anything less it will not come on, but on occasion it will slowly pulse. The light will come on at 11% but it is much brighter than it was at 10% so this is more than a 1% difference and not ideal. When it comes on at 11%+ I can manually dim the light down, I just can't turn it on below 11% The first time I noticed this problem was after a power outage and I'm almost certain this light was off when the power went out. I don't use this 10% scene every day so I'm not sure if the problem started before the power outage or not. I think it is a coincidence that the power went out right before I noticed this for the first time. Could it be related? Anyone have any idea why this 10% level setting stopped working? I'd like to get things back to the way they were.

In March of 2012, Andrew's brother (Pete Frates) was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 27. Being 24 years old at the time, recently graduated from Bentley University, Andrew put his life on pause to be a full-time brother and help his family with Pete's day-to-day cares. People often say "Family First" when it comes to specific decisions with their work-life balance, but Andrew's story is truly one in a million that will inspire you.
Since his diagnosis, Pete has enjoyed the strength and support of his family in raising awareness and funds for ALS research. Andrew was a driving force in the viral trend known as the "Ice Bucket Challenge."Being the first of the Frates family to dump a cold bucket of ice water over his head, he challenged friends and family which inspired millions across the world to do the same.
These days Andrew travels around the world sharing his brothers story and raising ALS awareness in hopes that one day he'll be able to help other families effected by this terrible disease and eventually find a cure.

Facts YOU Should Know
There can be significant costs for medical care, equipment and home health caregiving later in the disease. It is important to be knowledgeable about your health plan coverage and other programs for which you may be eligible, including Social Security Disability, Medicare, Mediciad and Veteran Affairs benefits.
The onset of ALS often involves muscle weakness or stiffness as early symptoms. Progression of weakness, wasting and paralysis of the muscles of the limbs and trunk as well as those that control vital functions such as speech, swallowing and later breathing generally follows.
YES – Military veterans are approximately twice as likely to develop ALS.
ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic boundaries and can affect anyone.
Approximately 6,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. The incidence of ALS is two per 100,000 people, and it is estimated that more than 20,000 Americans may be living with ALS at any given time.
Once ALS starts, it almost always progresses, eventually taking away the ability to walk, dress, write, speak, swallow, and breathe and shortening the life span. How fast and in what order this occurs is very different from person to person. While the average survival time is 3 years, about twenty percent of people with ALS live five years, 10 percent will survive ten years and five percent will live 20 years or more.
Although the life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable, and many people can live with the disease for five years and more. More than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis.
NO – ALS is not contagious.

I don't know about you, but after this long holiday season, I am feeling like absolute poo.
Remember just two weeks ago when I declared I'm a morning person?
Well… who kidnapped that lady and replaced her with what could not, would not get out of bed today? I even fell asleep last night at 9 pm. My belly feels awful, my skin looks disgusting, my house is in shambles.
I surely can't be the only one who's having trouble bouncing back, but this has been a great lesson in realizing that even when you think you've got everything all figured out, all it takes is a few non-routine days strung together to throw you into a tailspin.
But this is not what I wanted to tell you about today.
Today, I am doing starting something really fun and exciting and scary. Remember last November when I asked you to pitch me your own Hey Eleanor challenges? We got some really great submissions. My friend Matt Houchin and I are filming three Hey Eleanor web episodes in the next two months.
Later today, I am meeting up with a very loyal Hey Eleanor reader to do something totally outside his comfort zone. The task? I can't tell you yet, but I will say it's something many of us do every day without much thought. But it's new to him, and so it's scary.
What scares me: a whole different set of unknowns.
Will things run smoothly? I'm not exactly comfortable on camera, so will I look like an idiot? Will I sound like an idiot? Will you be able to tell that I've literally eaten my weight in ginger snaps, baguettes and salted butter in the last two weeks? And the person we're filming is someone I love so, so much… I just really hope he's not disappointed with the final product.
However, you never grow or learn or do anything cool if you don't step outside your comfort zone. I could write about my own life forever, contently. Taking it to the screen is way less familiar and makes me feel much more vulnerable. Eww! But if things go well, it could be a huge step in growing Hey Eleanor in the way I've dreamed. So I'm doing it.
Look for the final product on Feb 14, 2015.
Yep, Valentine's Day. Could that be a hint? Maybe.
* * *
Technically, I've done a few Hey Eleanor videos on my own. Here's my four favorites: the time I ate a live minnow, the time I disposed of a dead mouse, the time I waxed my armpits and the time I changed a diaper for the first time. Enjoy!

1. Do not EVER Make the Decision Based On Price Alone - This concept is critical! Yes, I realize there are wedding budgets, and alongside this specific budget is at times a specific amount that is allotted for a Dj, band or other form of entertainment. However, this is a wedding, a monumental occasion, and therefore the role of the entertainment which could make or ruin the entire event, should not be decided upon based on prices and rates alone. This concept applies to not only entertainment that may offer services at a very affordable price, but also the future brides and grooms that believe they must spend a small fortune on their entertainment in order for their entertainment to be "subpar". The vendor chosen (whether it's a band or DJ) should be determined based on further information other than pricing alone. Which leads us to item #2.
2. Interview, converse and consult (to avoid hiring the cheesy guy like the picture on the left) - Could you imagine desiring a lively, energetic and fun DJ for your wedding, only to learn that the day of your Disc Jockey is rather boring, wears a cumber bun, and cannot speak well on a microphone? Unless the entertainment that one is considering to hire has been already been witnessed in the act of performing, It is imperative before hiring that a future bride and groom interview, converse via skype, chat or consult face to face and simply get to know the personality(ies) of their entertainment vendor(s). Hiring a Dj or band based on a referral or "because you heard they were good" is not sufficient information for forming this decision. Additionally, even though it is great to ask for references from a potential DJ or band that you may be hiring, the results of these references will ALWAYS be favorable to that specific vendor and will not allow you to form a personal opinion. Take time to interview your Dj or band, and understand their level of friendliness and charisma. Consider their character, their appearance and their overall personality to determine if they meet the expectations you may have for your wedding day.
|Adam & Lauren's Wedding (picture by Forge Mountain Photography)
4. Consider the set up - This may seem a little strange item to contemplate while determining the
|Aaron & Mindy's Wedding (pic by Thirteenth Moon Photography)
Who knew deciding on the entertainment vendor for one's "Big Day" could be so difficult right? The above mentioned factors are all items that one should truly keep in mind alongside the generic questions that are we as wedding DJ's and artists are often asked. The majority of us do take song requests, yes the majority of us carry back up equipment on site, we are fully insured, etc, but can we all offer you a musical experience tailored to your wedding guests musical preferences that you will never forget? Most likely, No. Interview entertainment vendors and review the above items of consideration for each before rushing into a decision for your "Big Day".

Текст, перевод и аккорды "Naked Knife Absolution"
- Tons of blood swallowed before nausea. Finally I've learned from frustration. My isolation, I'm forced to hide, while you're observing. But you mean nothing, now you're useless. Time of my reprisal, for you're nothing, weightless scumbag, weightless scumbag. Peel slowly and see a new dimension of my reprisal. Become now the feeding flesh, the holy spirit of my own frustration. Naked knife absolution. I've burnt the altar you caught me in. I'm a restless machine. Tasting with nausea, reaching for relief in a bulimic state. Irony of the torture machine. You're naked in front of my screen. You're the food on the edge of my knife. A shining knife reflecting a deranged smile. Handling the blade that I won't bleed. Inexorable awareness of misery. Shall I reach that forgotten relief? I cross my path of torment while I'm tearing you limb from limb. Sickening infection. Path made of frustration. Experiment the torture. Naked knife absolution. Naked knife absolution.

There was a time, last year or so, when an ultrabook represented a distinct product within a computer line. Now, as is the case with Hewlett-Packard, there are whole lines of ultrabooks. Yes, that makes shopping a little more difficult, but the extra choices can theoretically work out to your advantage.
Finding the sweet spot, though, has never been tougher. Exhibit A is the HP Envy 4, a 14-inch laptop that's part of a line of Intel processor-bearing ultrabooks and AMD processor-bearing "Sleekbooks" in both 14- and 15-inch sizes. These thin laptops represent a different part of the thin-and-light landscape than the stylish and expensive HP Envy 14 Spectre released earlier this year, or the thinner Spectre XT. While AMD versions of the HP Envy 6 cost less than their Intel counterparts (the 15.6-inch Envy Sleekbook 6 is available for as low as $599), the 14-inch Envy 4t only comes with Intel CPUs.
The least expensive of all the 14-inch Envy 4 configurations costs $699, or $679 at some retailers (the HP Envy Ultrabook 4-1015DX I reviewed is a retail configuration available from Best Buy). It comes with a last-gen Intel Core i3 processor, a 500GB hybrid hard drive, and 4GB of RAM in a body that feels like the Editors' Choice Award-winning HP Folio 13 ultrabook I loved last year and the HP dm4 thin laptop combined together, with little bits of Beats Audio design touches.
On a whole, the HP Envy 4 is a larger ultrabook, one of those slightly thicker, bigger, and heavier laptops that you would perhaps expect to have an optical drive, or discrete graphics. It's in a similar category to the Toshiba Satellite U845, but better-designed. And, yes, it's a replacement of sorts for the highly versatile HP Folio 13. But December 2011 was a different time than August 2012.
Having an SD card slot, an Ethernet port, and a long-life battery for a reasonable price was rare for an ultrabook back then. Not anymore. If I were buying the admittedly nicely designed HP Envy 4, I'd pay up for a more full-fledged configuration. Or if I wanted to save money, I'd opt for the more affordable but larger AMD-powered Envy Sleekbook 6, instead. Or perhaps I'd just consider paying up for the HP Envy Spectre XT. That's the problem with having too many choices: suddenly, the ultrabook landscape becomes no different from, or less crowded than, the rest of the midrange consumer laptop universe. And that's not exactly a great thing.
In the $679 entry-level Core i3 configuration I reviewed, the total product feels decent, and certainly ample for most people, but it's not a standout. It'll get the job done, and it has good speakers. Back-to-school shoppers, take note: this could be for you, if you don't mind not having a DVD drive. I only have one question: didn't the Envy brand used to be high-end? Not anymore. It makes me wonder how Envys will co-exist with rest of HP's Pavilion products.

Weren't ultrabooks supposed to restore sexiness to the laptop? Don't tell that to this Envy. Hey, I've seen this design before. So have you, if you've been window-shopping for HP laptops over the last year or so. The brushed aluminum and black plastic look of the HP Envy 4 feels like a hybrid of recent Envy designs and laptops like the Pavilion dm4, with more than a touch of the HP Folio 13. It's not a bad look at all -- in fact, it's far better than most laptops -- but it doesn't exactly break the mold.
The Envy 4t has a bigger screen than the Folio 13 (14 inches instead of 13.3 inches), and is somewhat thicker and heavier, too. At 3.9 pounds and 0.78 inches thick, the Envy 4 isn't obese for an ultrabook, but it feels bulkier all around, much like the Toshiba Satellite U845.
With a different size class come different expectations. There's no DVD drive on this laptop, but it feels like there could have been -- the Dell Inspiron 14z and Acer Timeline U M5 both managed to include one. The chassis tries to look high-end, with premium-style finishes from the angled top lid to the soft-touch underside, but the whole package feel more budget than that. The aluminum keyboard deck feels like a finish, not solid metal. The keyboard itself flexes, and far more than I'd like. The back lid is brushed aluminum (available in black/red or silver/black finishes, both with black back lids), but the screen itself is surrounded by generic, glossy black plastic.
The backlit keyboard isn't the best I've seen from HP, mainly because it exhibited flex in the middle, causing me to miss keys on more than one occasion. Pressing down harder was the solution, encouraging me to aggressively type out this review. Results improved, but the added column of right-side keys cramping access to Enter, Shift, and Backspace feels unnecessary.
Media control keys assigned to function buttons above the keyboard are function-reversed, meaning they'll work directly without the Fn key. Above that, a single thin power button lurks near the lid hinge on the left.
A multitouch Synaptics clickpad below is slightly recessed from the keyboard deck and amply sized. Two-finger gestures like pinch-to-zoom didn't always register. It was hard to tell whether the problem was the touch-pad hardware's clickzones or Windows 7 itself.
The 1,366x768-pixel glossy 14-inch display feels strictly budget; black levels were weak on my review model, and viewing angles were less than ideal. The resolution's also a step down from what's starting to appear on higher-end laptops, but 1,366x768 is still the mainstream baseline for everyday computing, and will get the job done.
A Beats-branded speaker bar above the keyboard angles upward slightly, affording better projection of sound than the standard ho-hum ultrabook. However, the sound quality of those speakers, while loud, wasn't particularly great. It lacked force and depth, and was distorted at high volumes.
Also, take note: HP has preinstalled a good chunk of trialware and other software on this Envy, creating more than a fair share of pop-up windows.
A 1,280x720 Webcam looked good enough to have effective Web chats on, with decent light sensitivity.

A man aged about 60 fell to his death Saturday during a family hike at Nahal Prat (Wadi Kelt), near Kfar Adumim, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea.
An initial police investigation determined that the man, a resident of central Israel, was walking down a narrow path when slid and fell into the ravine from a height of about 50 meters – more than 160 feet – and suffered mortal injuries to his head.
An Israel Air Force (IAF) helicopter was called into action to locate the man. After finding him, IAF and Magen David Adom teams tried to resuscitate him but had to determine his death a short time later.
His body was extricated from the ravine and taken by helicopter to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

"I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy.. whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment.. Mankind will not have peace until it turns with confidence to My Mercy"
Lanarkshire | Edinburgh | Aberdeen
Divine Mercy Sunday takes place on April 8th this year, the Sunday following Easter. Here are details of some of the places which will be celebrating the Feast of Mercy in Scotland:
[1] Carfin Grotto, Motherwell
The Feast will be celebrated at the National Marian Shrine at Carfin Grotto, Taylor Avenue, Carfin, Motherwell ML1 5AJ.
Sacramental Confession will be available between 12:30pm and 2:15pm. A Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament will take place before the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed at 3:00pm. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered at 3:15pm.
The various Shrines and Chapels will be open within the Grotto, including the Divine Mercy chapel.
Food and drinks will be available in the Pilgrimage Centre.
The Feast of Mercy at Carfin is always very well attended so it would be prudent to arrive early. Also, the queues for Confession tend to be very long, so remember that it is permissible to go to Confession before the Feast itself.
[2] St John Baptist Church, Uddingston
The parish of St John Baptist in Uddingston, Diocese of Motherwell, will have a blessing of the Divine Mercy Image at the Vigil Mass.
On the Feast of Mercy, there will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 1:00pm until 3:45pm. with praying of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3:00pm. There will also be Rosary, devotional prayers, hymns and veneration of the Divine Mercy Image.

St John's also have a weekly Divine Mercy prayer group, which meets on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm till 8:00pm.
[3] St Augustine's Church, Coatbridge
Last year, St.Augustine's Church, Coatbridge, hosted the National Divine Mercy Conference so it's lovely to see that they will also be celebrating the Feast of Mercy with a day retreat.
The day begins with the Sacrifice of the Mass at 12 noon, followed by a talk on the Image of Divine Mercy at 1:10pm in the Parish Centre. At 1:40pm there will be a break for tea and coffee.
Then at 2:00pm, there will be a Holy Hour, with the opportunity for Confession, and with Benediction.
The day concludes with the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm.
You can find St.Augustine's Church at Dundyvan Road, Coatbridge, Lanarkshire ML5 1DQ, and you can read more at the Parish website.
[4] St.Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh
In the East of Scotland, the 'Divine Mercy – Edinburgh' group have arranged to celebrate the Feast of Mercy in St.Mary's Cathedral in the centre of Edinburgh. They say –
"According to the wishes of Jesus our Lord, we would like to warmly invite you all to a celebration of the Feast of Divine Mercy, which will take place at St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday, the 8th April 2018 between 3.00pm and 5.30pm.
Included will be Songs of Praise, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, meditations on excerpts from the Holy Bible and from the Diary of Saint Faustina, and moments of silence for personal reflection and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
During this time, we will be praying to Jesus our Lord for mercy for ourselves, for our city, and for the whole world.
There will also be the opportunity for confession."

NORWAY: The Fjord1 Partner AS consortium led by Keolis has been awarded a seven-year contract with a two-year extension to operate the 9?8 km Bybanan light rail line in Bergen. The operating contract is valued at NKr400m, although this does not take into account the value of a future 4 km extension which is expected to open during the term of the contract.
The Fjord1 Partner consortium is led by 51% shareholder Keolis Nordic AB. Fjord1, which operates local transport in the Vestlandet region of Norway, holds the remaining 49% share.
The Bybanen infrastructure and rolling stock will be owned by the local authority, which has set up a subsidiary, Bybanen AS, to manage the maintenance of the line. Stadler Pankow is supplying 12 Variobahn trams for the route, which is due to open on June 17 2010.
According to Erik Bech-Jansen, Executive Vice-President of Keolis Nordic, the contact award marks the start of the operator's 'long-term expansion plan' in the Norwegian market.

Zumtobel has written a fresh chapter in the CLARIS success story by presenting the slimline louvre luminaire in its most modern form ever. The third generation of this renowned range has been reduced to the essentials, enabling the new CLARIS evolution to blend perfectly into any office environment.
CLARIS and CLARIS II luminaires from Zumtobel have set the benchmark for design, lighting technology and quality for the last 20 years. CLARIS evolution maintains the high standards established by the previous generations and looks to the future with its fusion of consistent design language and innovative LED technology.
The development project was all about getting back to the bare essentials. While the original proportions were retained, the actual dimensions of the luminaire have been carefully trimmed down to achieve an uncompromising design that is more modern and more minimalist. However, the expressive appearance of the CLARIS evolution is not just about the slim, one-piece aluminium housing. The recessed light chambers complement the overall design and give the fitting an unmistakably striking visual structure.
Like its predecessors, the CLARIS evolution has a restrained look that enables the pendant luminaire to integrate harmoniously into any interior design. Outstanding versatility is supported by a range of colour finishes, as this modern interpretation of an iconic louvre luminaire can be specified in black, white, bronze and silver. Factor in the choice of a black, white or silver light chamber in matt or glass and clients can select the right luminaire from a list offering 24 different colour variants.
The combination of sophisticated LED technology and MPO+ microprismatic structure ensures high levels of visual comfort. The ratio between direct and indirect output is optimised to simultaneously generate a pleasant spatial atmosphere and deliver ergonomic working light – and to fulfil both these functions with a significant increase in efficiency. Indeed, CLARIS evolution boasts a fantastic efficiency of 151 lumens per watt.
The option to wirelessly control CLARIS evolution via BasicDIM wireless offers yet more lighting comfort. This compact control module from the Tridonic sister brand automatically establishes a mesh communication network via Bluetooth. This enables uncomplicated wireless communication with up to 127 luminaires.
With its outstanding future-oriented technology, wide range of colour combinations and clear minimalist design, CLARIS evolution is the perfect lighting tool to enhance any office environment.
