Dad jokes are in and of themselves an art form. The first step is that they have to be so bad they're funny. They also have the sort of punchline that you should have saw coming but somehow didn't. And they're all a little embarrassing to laugh at. But hey, if everyone else is probably groaning, laughing or perhaps doing both at the same time, your goal has been achieved! Radio DJ Pete Graham is the 'King' of the dad joke. Every day he posts a dad joke on his Facebook page and brings a laugh to thousands of people. You could say that Pete resides a permanent state of 'Dadsville'. Here, for the first time, is a collection of Pete Graham's favourite dad jokes in Welcome to Dadsville! Dad's jokes for Big Kids.

learning experience design
A call for more inter-campus networking on learning design:https://t.co/9GIxMdtswE
— Bryan Alexander (@BryanAlexander) June 26, 2019
Building a Learning Innovation Network
a new interdisciplinary field of learning innovation emerging.
Learning innovation, as conceptualized as an interdisciplinary field, attempts to claim a space at the intersection of design, technology, learning science and analytics — all in the unique context of higher education.
professional associations, such as POD, ELI, UPCEA, (https://upcea.edu/) OLC (https://onlinelearningconsortium.org/), ASU GSV (https://www.asugsvsummit.com/) and SXSW Edu (https://www.sxswedu.com/) — among many other conferences and events put on by professional associations.
A professional community of practice differs from that of an interdisciplinary academic network. Professional communities of practice are connected through shared professional goals. Where best practices and shared experiences form the basis of membership in professional associations, academic networks are situated within marketplaces for ideas. Academic networks run on the generation of new ideas and scholarly exchange. These two network models are different.
"Learning Experience Design™ is a synthesis of Instructional Design, educational pedagogy, neuroscience, social sciences, design thinking, and User Experience Design."
The Process: ADDIE Vs. Design Thinking

Laurel True improved the quality of life for countless generations of Kentuckians - most of who will never know of him or his work on their behalf. His passing is a sad loss to all who were inspired by his commitment and extraordinary contributions to make life better for all Kentuckians at every stage of life.
Laurel's long career as a public servant and his contributions to public health and welfare are widely recognized and respected across the Commonwealth. But, his commitment to the people of Kentucky did not end with his retirement. AARP Kentucky was fortunate to be among the many advocacy groups with which he shared his experience, commitment and passion.
He was an active AARP volunteer well before AARP Kentucky opened its doors in 2001. In recognition of his volunteer service ; he was awarded the Association's highest volunteer recognition, the AARP State Andrus Award for Community Service. The award honors those individuals who share their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
"Volunteerism is clearly a new way of looking at retirement for older Americans. Many, like Laurel, are finding that they want to remain active and involved and that volunteerism fulfills this need and the desire to help others," said AARP Kentucky State Director, Ron Bridges. "Through this recognition, AARP encourages individuals, to continue using their skills and passions as a way to remain vital as well as make a difference in their community."
AARP Kentucky State President, James T. Kimbrough and Laurel were life-long friends and colleagues. "Laurel recruited and inspired me to become an AARP volunteer. We worked together to improve aging services and Kentucky's Medicaid program. He was a gentleman above all else and embodied the best values of our society," said Kimbrough.
Laurel's lifetime of service as a U.S. Marine Captain, husband, father, public servant, volunteer and advocate embodied the vision and philosophy of AARP founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus: "To serve, not to be served." His life's work and spirit will remain an inspiration to all fighting to best serve the needs of all Kentuckians. He will be missed.

Membership terms
- Membership runs for one year from the date of joining (with the exceptions of 5 for 4 years, 14 for 12 months, or 3-month trial memberships).
- You will receive a Welcome email and temporary membership certificate within 24 hours.
- Your Welcome pack and membership card will usually arrive in the post within 3-4 weeks.
Membership types and rates
- Please see our page on Membership Types for current information including concessionary rates and what's included in your membership.
- If you are a Group or Club, visit the Joining your Group page.
Cancellation and refunds:
We are sorry to see you go, but if you do wish to cancel your membership, here are some frequently asked questions. Please remember that we are an independent charity and are heavily reliant on membership subscriptions, donations and the goodwill of our members to continue our campaigning and project work across the UK.
How do I cancel my membership? Can I get a refund?
- If you wish to cancel your membership, please notify Cycling UK by email or telephone.
- A 14-day money back guarantee is offered to all new/renewing members should you for any reason wish to terminate your membership within 14 days of your join date, or renewal date.
- After 14-days: we do not usually issue refunds.
- This also applies to 5 years for the price of 4 memberships.
- There are no refunds available on life memberships.
- The liability insurance policy which is included in our membership package is not refundable. A claim could come in against a liability policy for a number of years after the policy has finished, and the policy that was in force at the time of the incident would still respond. This is three years for any injury and six years for damage to property.
Changing membership types:
I am eligible for the discounted senior membership rate but my membership has been automatically renewed at the adult rate. Can I get a refund?
- If a member has not given Cycling UK their date of birth upon joining, or prior to the renewal date, then they will automatically be charged at the full adult rate at join/renewal. We would not usually issue a refund once the payment has been made for the membership term.
My circumstances have changed during my year of membership. Can I switch membership type?
- If you would like to upgrade your membership – for example, switch from Individual to Household membership and add on additional family members; or change from Affiliated to Full Individual Membership – please contact the membership team who will be able to make the changes pro-rata for the remainder of the year.
- We don't usually offer downgrades to memberships for example, changing from full individual to student membership. You may change membership types at renewal, if you are eligible. Please inform the membership team of any required changes as soon as possible, as your renewal invitation letter will be generated several weeks before your renewal date.
I am currently injured and am unable to ride. Can I pause my membership until I'm back on my bike?
- Unfortunately we are unable to stop / start memberships during the membership period.
Renewing and lapsed memberships
- All members receive a renewal invitation letter and new membership card between 4-6 weeks before the end of their membership period. Your new membership card needs to be activated before it is valid.
- If you are on direct debit, you do not need to do anything. Your membership will continue and your new card is valid.
- If you are not on direct debit, you need to make a payment to renew your membership and activate your membership card. The easiest way to do this is to renew online. Find out more on the different ways you can renew.
- Direct Debit guarantee.
- Your benefits, including third-party liability insurance and access to the legal incident helpline will end on your membership expiry date.
- Cycling UK will send you a number of renewal reminders. You have a period of two months in which to renew. After this, your membership will lapse and you will need to join up again as a new member. You will lose your original joining date and will also not have been covered by our benefits during the period in-between memberships (note that a claim could be made against a liability policy for a number of years after your policy has ended).
- Please ensure that you do renew on time to avoid the extra administration and costs of starting a new membership.
I have lost my membership card – how can I get a replacement?
- You can request a new card online when logging into your account.
- We will replace your card for free, but please do consider a donation to cover production and administration costs.
- If you still hold a CTC card, we recommended that you change to a Cycling UK card, as some partners may not recognise the older style. You can upgrade your card for free.
- Replacement cards can take up to 4 weeks to arrive.
Promotional gifts, offers and competitions:
Do I qualify for the 14 months for 12 annual direct debit offer if I'm already a member, but currently paying by a different method?
- The 14 months for 12 direct debit offer is available to new annual direct debit payers, or those who have not had an annual direct debit with Cycling UK for at least three years.
Joining gifts

- Joining gifts are only available to new members (including the recipients of gift memberships), or those who have not taken out a membership with Cycling UK in the last three years.
- Affiliated individual membership (including gift affiliated individual memberships) are excluded from joining gift offers.
- Cycling UK staff are not obliged to give out codes/URLs by email or over the phone if an individual has misplaced / forgotten this information. We run several promotions throughout the year so new offers are advertised regularly.
- If a promotion has a specified end date, the code or URL can no longer be applied once this date has passed. If there is no end date quoted, please contact the membership team if you are unsure whether an offer is still valid.
- We are currently unable to send out promotional gifts as our mailing house is closed due to Coronavirus.
Retailer/ show discounts and offers
- The terms of our member benefits offers are set by our individual partners. Please see specific details on the member benefits web pages here.
- To view member-only codes and vouchers, you will need to log into the website. Please see the first FAQ above for instructions on how to set up an online account.

All's fair in love, war, and smart phone supremacy.
Just ask Google and Apple.
Google is set for a 10aPST press conference to unveil its anticipated entry into the smart phone market by officially taking the wraps off its Nexus One device.
It will be a direct competitor to Apple's iPhone from a one-time allie. On any given day, that'd be a huge news event.
((Note from Jim: I'll be live-blogging this morning's Google event beginning at 10AM-PT/1PM-ET, so check back often for updates!))
Instead, Google's message is getting crowded by Apple and its myriad mobile messages today: The tablet is on the way; Apple itself says downloads from its wildly successful App Store have now topped 3 billion in just 18 months; and there are rumors that Apple will buy Quattro Wireless for $275 million, according to my buddy Kara Swisher at AllThingsD.
All of this together makes for an enormous news day in the wireless world. Just this morning, Forrester is out with new data showing smart phone penetration jumped from 11 percent last year to 17 percent today.
Growth is accelerating, and Apple and Google are staking their claims.
For Google, the pressure is on to make this device a success by showing truly what an open platform can do for consumers and the enterprise. If it changes the pricing model by offering an unlocked version, and turns the wireless carrier business dominated by AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, upside down, all the better.
The sub-stories are fascinating. Google has always said it wanted to be agnostic, and get its software on everything. I gotta think that Motorola, HTC, Dell, and various other hardware makers can't be happy with Google's own smart phone. Google's go-it-alone/we-know-better/get-out-of-our-way approach scuttled the company's relationship with long-time partner and friend Apple. The company runs that risk with many more partners too.
Unless the company's true goal is to show the possibilities, which encourages more innovation by those very partners, which leads to more interest in Android, which expands the market, which means more sales for those peddling handsets running Google's software, which is (back to full circle here) good for Google.
Apple is hardly sitting still.
Dismissing Eric Schmidt from its board was a good move, but it came oh so very late.
He walked out of the boardroom with Apple's strategic roadmap in hand. Google's $750 million purchase of mobile ad company AdMob - a company that Apple reportedly bid on - might be a good example of that. Or maybe Apple's play for Quattro is in response to Google's move? Who knows. With these two, it's a chicken/egg ordeal.
Either way, with competing headlines of this magnitude out of both companies, simultaneously, it is clear that these once-friends are today fierce rivals gunning for each other. The stakes are enormous, and the marketplace can easily support multiple winners. That includes Research in Motion, Motorola, even Palm.
And with phones getting smarter, and more powerful, and faster, this could be a huge year for Qualcomm and its Snapdragon chip. Not to mention mobile microprocessors coming from Intel, in addition to Atom in those netbooks.
I've said it before: wireless and smart phones and mobile, digital entertainment and apps are easily the most dynamic sectors in tech today. Look no further than Apple and Google, which might supplant every great tech rivalry we've seen to date. Battle lines drawn. Gloves off. Locked and loaded.
Mark my words: Google's gonna make it interesting, but Apple's got the innovation, expertise and most important, the experience in software AND hardware to end up on top.

SafeConfig 2015 : ACM Workshop on Automated Decision Making for Active Cyber Defense (Co-located with ACM CCS)
|Link: http://www.cyberdna.uncc.edu/safeconfig/2015/
Call For Papers
1. Workshop Agenda:
SafeConfig workshop selects each year a new workshop theme to offer a unique opportunity to researchers form academic, industry as well as government agencies to come together, discuss these challenges, exchange experiences, and propose plans for promoting novel research in this area. This year the title of the workshop is 'Automated Decision Making for Active Cyber Defense'. The high growth of cyber connectivity significantly increases the potential and sophistication of cyber-attacks. The new capabilities based on active cyber defense (ACD) are required to offer automated, intelligently-driven, agile, and resilient cyber defense. Both accurate "sense-making" based security analytics of the system artifacts (e.g., traces, configurations, logs, incident reports, alarms and network traffic), and provably-effective "decision-making" based on robust reasoning are required to enable ACD for cyber security and resiliency. Cyber security requires automated and scalable analytics in order to normalize, model, integrate, and analyze large and complex data to make correct decisions on time about security measures against threats. The automated decision making goals is to determine and improve the security and resiliency of cyber systems and services. As the current technology moves toward 'smart' cyber-physical infrastructures as well as open networking platforms (e.g., software defined networking and virtual/cloud computing), the need for large-scale security analytics and automation for decision making significantly increases.
SafeConfig workshop is a one-day program that includes invited talks, technical presentations of peer-reviewed papers, poster/demo sessions, and joint panels on research collaboration. This installment of SafeConfig is being run in conjunction with ACM Conference on Computing and Communications Security (conference link http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2015/), to be held on October 12-16, 2015 in Denver, Colorado. Automated security decision making for new emerging application domains, such as clouds and data centers, cyber-physical systems, software defined networking, and Internet of things are of particular interest to SafeConfig community.
Topics (but are not limited to):
- Analytics of attacks motive and attribution.

Although Susan Mendelson's catering company is called the Lazy Gourmet, she is anything but — lazy, that is.
In addition to running a successful business, Mendelson has written 10 cookbooks, including The Official Cookbook of Expo 86, which was reissued this year in honour of the event's 25th anniversary.
"We were kind of ahead of our time," she says, sounding mildly surprised as she flips through a copy in the kitchen of her Shaughnessy home. "There's the bocconcini salad, the fettuccine with pesto, the grilled peppers, the pizzas with sun-dried tomato and wild mushroom and chèvre."
There are also recipes from restaurants ranging from Bishop's and Le Crocodile to Tony Roma's and the English Bay Café. "There were restaurants whose recipes I wanted years ago and I used this," she says.
Mendelson is still cadging recipes from restaurants. She so adores the fish taco served at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in Hawaii that she emailed the chef, Nick Mastrascusa, to say that The Vancouver Sun was doing a story on her and asking if he would he like to share the recipe with Sun readers.
He sent her the recipe, which she plans to use Labour Day weekend, when she will likely have 20 or 25 people over for a barbecue. Although the Lazy Gourmet offers barbecue menus, this weekend Mendelson will keep it simple with Italian buratta cheese and heirloom tomatoes on grilled ciabatta to munch on while the fish tacos cook on the barbecue. Dessert will be homemade cookies from her most recent cookbook, Mama Now Cooks Like This. She makes the dough in advance and freezes it until needed. She will bake them during dinner and serve them hot with mint tea from the garden.
"I've just always been passionate about food, unfortunately, and passionate about cooking and about combining different flavours and different elements to create food," she says. "But I'm also very much about simplifying food. My whole thing is that I don't want food to be complicated, and I want to share what I know with people."
She is also passionate about art and colour. "There's kind of no getting around it," she says. "Even when I try not to, I'm still all about colour. My husband's an architect, so he's about minimalist stuff."
The interior of their house, built 17 years ago, is painted vibrant colours and chock full of art. It was designed by her husband, Jack Lutsky, around a massive and colourful Joe Average painting that hangs in the living room. The couple, who will celebrate their 22nd wedding anniversary this month, bought a piece of art on their honeymoon and mark each anniversary with the purchase of another. Mendelson's current favourite is a painting by Gordon Smith in the dining room, although she and Lutsky also collect works by Gathie Falk and other artists, mainly from B.C. In the living room, a Gathie Falk sculpture of a dress with a blue patina, bronzed by Joe Fafard, is "one of my very very favourite pieces [but] not necessarily my husband's favourite piece."
The couple also differs about a Gathie Falk painting of feet and shoes that hangs in the entry hall. "Jack does not like this piece very much," says Mendelson cheerily. "I think it's an opportunity to tell people to please take your shoes off when you come in the house."
A Gathie Falk papier mâché sculpture of the same shoes shown in the painting sits on the floor with, on the opposite wall, a painting of a bicycle leaning against a sink, also by Falk. A room off the hall is dominated by a Gathie Falk-painted quilt, Mendelson's favourite piece before buying the Gordon Smith in the dining room.
In the dining room, even the furniture is functional art. Mendelson calls the octopus-like Murano glass chandelier, by Massimo Micheluzzi of Venice, her "cheap Chihuly" because it cost a fraction of similar ones by Tacoma glass artist Dale Chihuly. Light from the chandelier shines through cut-outs, inspired by petroglyphs, in the steel dining table by Vancouver artist Mollie Massie, creating a pattern of dancing figures on the floor. The steel sideboard, also by Massie and titled Ode to Susan, is composed of references to the Lazy Gourmet: the lazy gourmet crown, Mendelson doing a balancing act, specialties from brie en croute to Nanaimo bars.
The adjacent kitchen is a masterpiece of functionality with two sinks and almost too much work room: "I have the space so I move from one project to the next rather than cleaning up in between," says Mendelson. The counter between the cooking and eating areas allows her to talk to people while she works and is where she sets out appetizers. "Because we entertain way more casually than we do formal dining, everything's just out, and if you're hungry, eat, and if you're not, don't, rather than pushing food on people," she says.
The kitchen is also filled with art, including Mendelson's first Gathie Falk piece, a lithograph, and her most recent, a triptych of irises. The adjacent family room features art with a family theme: a tapestry by Barbara Heller depicting Mendelson's grandfather, father and other family members with smaller Heller pieces of Mendelson and her twin sister as children either side, plus a Jay Turner pencil crayon sketch of Lutsky's son, Soleil, and the couple's daughter, Mira.
The garden outside, designed by Elisabeth Whitelaw, forms a minimalist backdrop to the artwork in the house. "We do have some colour"— crimson cushions on the patio furniture, pots of herbs and flowers — "but that's Jack's place of peace and calm," says Mendelson. They also have some art to greet visitors as they enter and as they take their leave: the fanciful metal gates are by Mollie Massie, the artist who created the dining room table and sideboard.

| 8.6°C Belfast
A 23-year-old man has been arrested following the sexual assault of a woman in Downpatrick.
It happened in the Market Street area on Wednesday afternoon.
It was reported that a woman, aged in her 20s, was sexually assaulted.
The man was arrested a short time later and has since been released on police bail pending further enquirers.
Police have said they believe this is an isolated incident, however as a reassurance to the local community there will be an increase in police patrols in the local area.
A PSNI spokesman added: "This incident occurred in a public place at a busy time of the day, therefore anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area is asked to contact Downpatrick Police Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 543 of 03/08/16."

Voice over Internet Protocol (Voice over IP, VoIP) is any of a family of methodologies, communication protocols, and transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.
Other terms frequently encountered and often used synonymously with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, and broadband phone. Internet telephony refers to communications services — voice, fax, SMS, and/or voice-messaging applications — that are transported via the Internet, rather than the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The steps involved in originating a VoIP telephone call are signalling and media channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signal, optionally compression, packetization, and transmission as Internet Protocol (IP) packets over a packet-switched network. On the receiving side similar steps reproduce the original voice stream.[1] VoIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as well as audio codec's which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital audio via an audio stream. The codec used is varied between different implementations of VoIP (and often a range of codec's are used); some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while others support high fidelity stereo codec's.

According to Zerohedge all hell is breaking loose in Washington D.C. tonight after a four-page memo detailing extensive FISA court abuse was made available to the entire House of Representatives Thursday. The contents of the memo are so explosive, says Journalist Sara Carter, that it could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice and the end of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.
The Gateway Pundit reports…
The House Intel panel's passage of New York Republican Rep. Peter King's motion to release the FISA abuse memo to fellow House members has rocked Washington, D.C.
Lawmakers from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) have called for the classified memo's immediate release. According to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, the contents of the memo are so "explosive," that it could end special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe once and for all.
Sara Carter reports…
A review of a classified document outlining what is described as extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse was made available to all House members Thursday and the revelations could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and Department of Justice, several sources with knowledge of the document stated. These sources say the report is "explosive," stating they would not be surprised if it leads to the end of Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into President Trump and his associates.
Congressional members are hopeful that the classified information will be declassified and released to the public.
"We probably will get this stuff released by the end of the month," stated a congressional member, who asked not to be named.
But the government official, who viewed the document said "it will be tough for a lot of people to see this and especially the media, which has been attempting to deemphasize the dossier. It's going to punch a hole in their collusion narrative."
Fox News reports that the House Intelligence Committee voted to make available to House members "a memo documenting abuse of the FISA program."
A source close to the matter has also told Fox News that "the memo details the Intelligence Committee's oversight work for the FBI and Justice, including the controversy over unmasking and FISA surveillance."
Zerohedge further adds…
An educated guess by anyone who's been paying attention for the last year leads to the obvious conclusion that the report reveals extensive abuse of power and highly illegal collusion between the Obama administration, the FBI, the DOJ and the Clinton Campaign against Donald Trump and his team during and after the 2016 presidential election.
Lawmakers who have seen the memo are calling for its immediate release, while the phrases "explosive," "shocking," "troubling," and "alarming" have all been used in all sincerity. One congressman even likened the report's details to KGB activity in Russia. "It is so alarming the American people have to see this," Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told Fox News. "It's troubling. It is shocking," North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said. "Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I don't want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much."
Rep Lee Zeldin (R-NY) is demanding the secret memo be released immediately…
Just read the classified doc @HPSCI re FISA abuse. I'm calling for its immediate public release w/relevant sourced material. The public must have access ASAP! #Transparency

Releasing this classified info doesn't compromise good sources & methods. It reveals the feds' reliance on bad sources & methods.

"Releasing this classified info doesn't compromise good sources & methods. It reveals the feds' reliance on bad sources & methods."
Rep. Gaetz told Fox Business News that, "The allegations contained in this important intelligence document go to the very foundations of our democracy and they require an immediate release to the public in my opinion."

Releasing the memo to the public would require a committee vote, a source told Fox, adding that if approved, it could be released as long as there are no objections from the White House within five days.
Reactions from the citizenry have been on point (courtesy of Zerohedge)…
Obama's FBI colluded with the Clinton campaign to destroy a Presidential candidate – and then an elected POTUS & his family. It's the greatest scandal in American history & the public need to know the truth. https://t.co/PYafr0AqLq
— Imperator_Rex (@Imperator_Rex3) January 18, 2018
All of this is good to know. And it's perfectly understandable that the members of the House committee are outraged. But if the end results is not a series of indictments and prosecutions for flagrant criminal sedition, the Obama/Hillary corruption will be enshrined as law.

Iran's Emerging Military Dictatorship
The Revolutionary Guard now has more power than the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader.
At first glance, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei might seem a happy man. The pro-democracy movement had promised that last Thursday, the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, would be a turning point for the cause of freedom. But Mr. Khamenei's regime contained the mounting opposition.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) controlled Tehran with the help of tens of thousands of club-wielding street fighters shipped in from all over the country. Opposition marchers, confined to the northern part of...

By ISDA Contributing Editor Marianna Gatto
Between 1876 and 1914, 14 million people left Italy during what was one of the largest migrations in history; millions more would emigrate in the years following World War II. Using the visual arts as a vehicle, ITALIANITÀ, a new temporary exhibition at the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles (IAMLA), showcases the complex nature of the Italian Diaspora, and celebrates the beliefs, traditions, and defining characteristics connected to this movement.
In the arts, the term diaspora refers to artists who have migrated from one part of the world to another, or whose ancestors have. Their dissimilar experiences influence their creative identities, and in many cases, diasporic artists create alternative narratives, and challenge the structures of the established art world. ITALIANITÀ, which translates to "Italian-ness", features more than 20 artists and work spanning nearly a century.
Among the highlights of ITALIANITÀ is Joseph Stella's monumental 1935 work "Smoke Stacks," which was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Rare drawings by architect Paolo Soleri, the founder of the experimental Arizona town of Arcosanti, are shown alongside the work of Ralph Fasanella, whose art depicted urban working life, and some of the nation's early labor struggles. Fasanella, a self-taught painter, union organizer and activist, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era, and is considered one of the greatest primitive painters of the modern era.
This exhibition marks an important milestone for the IAMLA. Never before has this group of artists been exhibited within the confines of a single exhibition or institution. While promoting discourse about the Italian diasporic mosaic, ITALIANITÀ creates common ground on which connections to contemporary migrations can be forged.
ITALIANITÀ examines themes central to the Italian diaspora, including belonging, hyphenated identity, gender roles, memory, folklore, faith, dislocation, and migration.
Born in Calabria, Italy, Italo Scanga, who is best known for his Potato Famine series, explores folk Catholicism in one of the two pieces featured in the exhibition.
Photographer Anthony Riccio chronicled Boston's North End during the 1980s, a century-old immigrant neighborhood whose character has changed tremendously in recent years.
American-born Cynthia Minet, who was raised in Rome, and examines the subjects of migration and the environment in her work illuminated mixed media sculpture titled Predator: Sky Dance. Rico LeBrun, a leading figure in California's modernist movement, and Joe Mugnaini, Ray Bradbury's long-time illustrator are also featured.
ITALIANITÀ continues until January 13, 2019.

SALT SPRING ISLAND, B.C.—A British Columbia man says he's leaving Omar Khadr some money in his will, even though he thinks the Canadian war criminal wouldn't approve of his lifestyle as a gay atheist.
Jack Hallam of Salt Spring Island says 26-year-old Khadr could put the money toward funding his education now that he's been repatriated to Canada after being held at a U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay for a decade.
Hallam says he has set aside $700 for Khadr because he thinks the Toronto-born man has been treated badly by both the American and Canadian governments.
Hallam says he has spoken to Khadr's tutor in Alberta and may increase the amount of money he leaves the former child soldier.
In October 2010, Khadr pleaded guilty before a military commission to five war crimes, including murder in violation of the rules of war. In return, he was given a further eight years behind bars but allowed to return to Canada to serve out the rest of his sentence.
He was brought back to Canada on Sept. 29, a move that infuriated a former American solder who was partly blinded in the 2002 firefight during which Khadr was captured.
Khadr's transfer also prompted hundreds of Canadians to donate money to the family of the U.S. soldier Khadr pleaded guilty to killing.

English is the most spoken language all over the world and most of the official works happen in English only. If your work is to write letters, reports, and journals in English, then this piece of writing has a lot to offer to you. While speaking in English, it may be possible that a person ends up making little errors which go unnoticed, however, a written text which is read again and again by a number of people, needs to be accurate.
While speaking in any language, be it the mother tongue or English, it is very necessary for a person to use the correct grammar and the sentence structure. Most of the time, people end up making a number of blunders while speaking or writing in their mother tongue, but when we talk about English, it needs to be 100% correct as a little error can actually change the whole meaning of a written text. Though, the progress in the technology has provided us with some of the efficient and best free grammar checker and which the help of this software, a person can easily check if he has used the correct English or not.
There was a time when a person had to rely on mentors or teachers to assess the written text, now it has become very convenient with the grammar checker to assess if a text is written correctly or not. Apart from assessing a piece of writing on a grammar checker, the question comes that how to improve English grammar skills quickly? As this is a reason for concern for a huge number of people, let us have a look at some of the tips which prove very helpful in improving the knowledge of English:
Read a lot: The best and easy way to learn about grammar is to read different texts in English. The first thing which a person can start from is the habit of reading a newspaper on a regular basis. Reading newspaper not only helps in improving the knowledge of grammar in proves very helpful in increasing the vocabulary as well. Apart from newspapers, reading an interesting fiction is also a good idea as it holds the interest of a person.
Assess your weaknesses: There are some people who have a good hold in writing in English but they tend to make errors while using some rules. For ex., a number of people end up using wrong articles, conjunctions and the form of the verb in a tense. These little mistakes never go unnoticed, thus, a person should assess the areas in which he needs to work more.
Write more: There are many people who speak in English for most of the time, but they never write a single piece of writing, thus a person who wants to improve his skills should make a habit of writing text in English. This also helps in analyzing that how much scope of improvement is there.
By following the above tips, a person can easily improve his English. One can also refer to NOUNPLUS as it is free software to assess the grammar usage of a text written in English. Happy Learning!

This is a call for anyone who has ever looked at their to-do list and decided it's too long to even start… for anyone who has looked at their diary, crammed with meetings and wondered when they'll actually get to start their to do list… for anyone who has not even got around to writing a to-do list for 2 months… for anyone who wishes someone would write them a to do list by systematically going through the 658 unread emails in their inbox and telling them which to prioritise.
This is a blog post for anyone who has ever wanted to run out of a meeting mid flow and hide in a cupboard… for anyone who has felt like screaming "you just don't get it do you" during a client call… for anyone who longingly wishes for a holiday without worrying what Armageddon they will return to. This is for you. TimePenny is for you.
Stress comes in many forms, we've been exploring it a little bit during this season and we've come to the last post in the theme; there is still so much to say on this topic. Read some of the feedback from my clients and you'll see that stress is not uncommon, but it can also be tackled, in small ways, very easily.
Let's not try and pretend that every stressful situation can be fixed by following Brian Tracy's ABCDE rule or going for a pedicure. It can feel like a mammoth task just unpicking the reasons you got in this stressful situation in the first place. That's why my coaching sessions always start with questions and lots of talking from you. After the hour session is over I can summarise our learnings into 2 or 3 concrete actions and tools to move forward, plus a few tips to take you into a stress-free way of approaching work. If you are interested feel free to get in touch.

12. For the last two years the affairs of Greece had been [p. 1247]neglected. Accordingly, as the Aetolians were deserted by the Romans, on whom alone they depended for assistance, Philip compelled them to sue for and agree to a peace on whatever conditions he pleased. [2] Had he not exerted himself to the utmost in expediting this measure, he would have been overpowered, while engaged in war with the Aetolians, by Publius Sempronius, the proconsul, who had been sent to succeed Sulpicius in the command, with ten thousand infantry and a thousand horse, together with thirty-five ships of war, a force of no small importance to bring to the assistance of allies. [3] Ere the peace was well concluded, news was brought to the king that the Romans had arrived at Dyrrachium; that the Parthinians, and other bordering nations, were up in arms on seeing hopes of effecting a change; and that Dimallum was besieged. [4] The Romans had turned their efforts to that quarter instead of assisting the Aetolians, for which purpose they had been sent, from resentment at the conduct of the Aetolians for making peace with the king without their sanction, contrary to the league. [5] When Philip had received intelligence of these events, lest any greater commotion should arise in the neighbouring nations and states, he proceeded by forced marches to Apollonia, to which place Sempronius had retired, having sent Laetorius, his lieutenant-general, with a part of his forces and fifteen ships into Aetolia, to look into the state of affairs, and, if he could, dissolve the peace. [6] Philip laid waste the lands of the Apollonians, and, advancing his troops to the tower, offered the Romans battle. [7] But seeing that they remained quiet, only defending the walls, and not having sufficient confidence in his strength to assault the town, being desirous also of making peace with the Romans if possible, as he had with the Aetolians, or at least a truce, he withdrew into his own dominions, without further exciting their animosity by a fresh contest. [8] During the same time the Epirots, wearied by the long continuance of the war, having first sounded the disposition of the Romans, sent ambassadors to Philip on the subject of a common peace; [9] affirming that they were well satisfied that it might be arranged if he would come to a conference with Publius Sempronius, the Roman general. [10] They easily prevailed on him to pass into Epirus, for neither were the king's own inclinations averse from this measure. [11] Phœnice is a [p. 1248]city of Epirus; here Philip first conferred with Aeropus Dardas and Philip, praetors of the Epirots, and afterwards met Publius Sempronius. Amynander, king of the Athamanians, and other magistrates of the Epirots and Acarnanians, were present at the conference. [12] The praetor Philip spoke first, and requested at once of the king and the Roman general, that they would put an end to the war, and grant this boon to the Epirots. [13] Publius Sempronius proposed as the conditions of the peace, that the Parthinians, and Dimallum, and Bargulum, and Eugenium, should be under the dominion of the Romans; that Atintania, if on sending ambassadors to Rome they could prevail upon the senate to acquiesce, should be added to the dominions of the Macedonian. [14] The peace having been agreed upon on these terms, Prusias king of Bithynia, the Achaeans, the Bœotians, the Thessalians, the Acarnanians, and the Epirots, were included in the treaty by the king; by the Romans, the Ilians, king Attalus, Pleuratus, Nabis tyrant of the Lacedaemonians, the Eleans, the Messenians, and Athenians. [15] These conditions were committed to writing and sealed; and a truce was agreed upon for two months, to allow time for ambassadors being sent to Rome, that the people might order the peace upon these terms. [16] All the tribes agreed in ordering it, because now that the operations of the war were removed into Africa, they were desirous to be relieved for the present from all other wars. The peace being concluded, Publius Sempronius took his departure for Rome, to attend to the duties of his consulship.

Q: Over the years, I have tried following your effort-based program, and I have a question. I was on target to run a 3:30-3:35 marathon recently, but due to very strong head winds toward the end of the race, I was not able to hold my goal pace. At 17 miles, my hamstrings tightened and I had to stop several times to stretch and walk. I shuffled home in 3:55. I felt fine the next day and was eager to go again. Could I run another marathon in two weeks and hope to reach my goal pace? If not, how long should I wait until I attempt another one?
A: I would advise you to wait several weeks before trying again. You could run great 5 and 10k PRs within a couple of weeks of a marathon finished with a big smile and no smashed walls. But my rule of thumb is that for each mile struggled after hitting the wall, you need about a week of recovery.
Since you had mixed results in your marathon, it will be up to you to decide how much damage you did to your legs by continuing after they started giving you trouble. It sounds to me like you'd be wise to not try another one in two weeks. However, if you give yourself several more days for any evidence of damage to your legs to surface and then find none, perhaps you could run another marathon strongly in two weeks. It can be difficult to say immediately after a race.

I post below a picture of what looks like a tobacco tax stamp but I know little about it.
The questions I have are;
Is it a tobacco tax revenue (if so why the monkey)?
If it is, what other values and colours exist in the same set?
When was it issued?

My wife and I are working to pay off our fixed-rate, conventional, fifteen-year mortgage. Our goal is to eliminate our mortgage debt in less than 10 years.

Here's a chart with details for our current progress – The percentages above represent the amount of our mortgage we have paid – 42% – and the amount we still owe – 58%.

Day 3: The Shed Must Be Organized!
Several years ago, I purchased a really nice barn-style shed to store my lawn mower and a few tools. Since then, I have added a lean-to to the side of the shed – and now park my mower there. As of right now, the inside of the shed is literally over-flowing with tools, Christmas decorations, and an assortment of other stuff/junk. Before you think bad of me, allow me a few more details. I was recently gifted with a huge selection of power tools, fasteners, hardware supplies, and other belongs-in-the-shed type items – but I haven't had the time to organized them. They're just in the shed, ready to be sorted. That's this week's after-work project. Here's a picture of…Continue Reading→
