- A while back I wrote about REDESIGN[D]. An on going collaboration between Redesign Magazine and young Israeli designers. First was Naama Hofman and her lighting object and now it's Nir Meiri's turn to be REDESIGN[D].
Nir is a designer who isn't intimidated by hard work (his Marine Light and Desert Storm Light are just two beautiful examples). This time he decided to go with the idea behind Babel.
"Babel is inspired by the architecture of ancient cities, temples and altars, resonating human kind's aspiration to touch the sky. As a series, the vessels illustrate an ancient city's skyline, while each one stands alone as a functional product with a powerful presence that strikes the imagination."
The thing is that all this crazy layering and texturing is handmade by Nir and it goes to show you that he will stop at nothing on his way to perfecting his craft.
BTW, you can listen to Nir talking about his process, while enjoying a back stage pass to his studio.

Human Diagnostics
Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc.'s DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay, SURE CHECK® HIV 1/2, HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK®, and HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK® DIPSTICK tests are easy-to-perform, single-use diagnostic tests for the rapid, visual detection of antibodies to HIV 1 and HIV 2.
The standard screening test for antibodies to HIV is the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or ELISA. This test requires two visits to a clinic or medical facility – something that is not always feasible. Rapid, point-of-care (POC) tests have been developed which produce results within 20 minutes or less and are less costly for testing agencies to perform due to the fewer outreach visits required to deliver results. Also, studies have shown that rapid tests are as sensitive and specific as conventional immunoassays.
Utilizing Chembio's patented Dual Path Platform technology, DPP® Syphilis Screen & Confirm permits the simultaneous yet separate detection of both Trep and non-Trep markers at the point-of-care. The test format allows use in point-of-care settings, therefore represents a considerable advance in diagnosis as well as in time to treatment and ease of use.
Standard diagnosis of Syphilis is currently done using two different laboratory-based serologic tests, namely a non-treponemal screening test, usually either the Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) or Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL), followed by a more specific treponemal confirmatory (EIA) assay. Chembio has developed the first dual non-Treponemal & Treponemal POC Syphilis test.
Syphilis, caused by the bacterial spirochete Treponema pallidum, is a significant source of human morbidity and mortality worldwide. In fact, it is estimated that there are over 12 million cases of Syphilis occurring worldwide every year.
Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc.'s Chagas STAT-PAK® Assay is easy-to-perform, requires no cold chain storage, uses a minimal sample size, and provides visual detection of antibodies to T. cruzi.
Because traditional testing methods require laboratory equipment and storage, they aren't effective methods in the more rural areas where Chagas is most common.
Recognized as one of the world's neglected diseases, Chagas is a major public health concern in Latin America and is a growing concern in the United States and regions of Europe as the number of infected immigrants increase. Chagas is transmitted by Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite of the hematophagous triatomine insect, and may cause cardiomyopathy, syndromes of the esophagus and colon, and eventually in chronic myocarditis resulting in high morbidity and mortality. It is curable if detected and treated early, but there is no effective treatment once it has become chronic.

Fans of Kanye West have a lot to look forward to, as the rapper and producer is now going to release a sixth solo album after his previously-announced album with the G.O.O.D. Music roster, Cruel Summer.
Def Jam VP and storied producer No I.D. announced the project to MTV News. "He's coming right after that," said the Chicago producer at the ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Awards in Los Angeles.
"I'm not working on that [Cruel Summer] album, I'm working on his album," explained No I.D., who collaborated with Kanye on Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 album. "This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss."
It's what you expect and everything you don't expect," added No I.D., vaguely.

A Bronx employment lawyer will help a client to be properly prepared for the deposition in the sexual harassment lawsuit.
Preparing to Testify
To be adequately prepared to testify in the deposition, you will meet with your Bronx employment lawyer. This is to be certain that you are completely clear on the legal aspects of the case and what must be shown to prove them.
Understand Legal Theories
Your Bronx employment attorney might use the instructions given to the jury to help you. After reading them, each element of the instructions will be explained. Once they're understood, your attorney will tell you how your case connects to them.
The Narrow Nature of Sexual Harassment Laws
Based on television and entertainment shows, it's generally accepted that sexual harassment is illegal. That, however, doesn't explain the various aspects of it and what has to be done to show that it has taken place. In reality, as your Bronx employment attorney will tell you, the laws are significantly restricted. The truth is that the law states that employers can't engage in harassment against individual people based on their sex, national origin, religious affiliation, color and race. Sexual harassment is more difficult to prove.
When examining the jury instructions, it will be shown that there are still numerous issues that must be navigated when showing that there was harassment. The behavior is required to have been unwanted, severe and prevalent. It must be shown that the environment turned hostile.
Contact an Experienced Bronx Employment Lawyer
If you have questions about how to prepare for your deposition, a Bronx employment lawyer can help. Call the Law Office of Delmas Costin, Jr. at 718-618-0589 today.

When severe or winter weather comes our way, ABC27 steps into action to cover it from all angles. The ABC27 Stormtrack Center Live performance teaches children a multitude of basic weather concepts and allows them to experience first hand how things play out at the station. From weather tools to live reports, virtual studio tours & weather experiments, get ready to see how it all unfolds when ABC27 goes into "Severe Weather Mode" or "Winter Alert" (depending on the season).
Thank you for your interest in being a host site for StormTrack Center Live. There is no cost for the event, and this ABC27 community service is meant to provide the audience with a better understanding as to how our meteorologists forecast severe weather, along with the full involvement of our news department to cover any weather story from start to finish.
Over the course of the 2-hour session, students will get to see and take part in a variety of weather-related demonstrations and experiments in a full-assembly, followed by a teacher-led group-by-group journey through stations set up to exemplify and explain our approach during "severe weather mode". The groups will track their progress as they move through the stations with a pamphlet provided by ABC27. This is for the students to keep. Teachers will be provided an answer key to questions found in this pamphlet. It is suggested that they discuss the answers with students after the event to wrap up the learning process.
Teachers and staff will be asked to order students in advance into eight groups for the stations portion of the event. These groups should be labeled as numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. It is best that these groups be organized by classroom/grade, and that they have at least two teachers/aides per group. It is also requested that the students attend the full-assembly in their groups to facilitate quick movement to their assigned stations promptly following the assembly. Also, please have the students bring a writing utensil.
The majority of the stations are manned by ABC27 personnel. The full station list and duties associated with them can be found in an additional document attached. Also, we have attached an example schedule-rubric for how the rotation will go for the station portion of the event. When this many students are moving around at one time, there is always the potential for confusion. We have made every effort to label each station as clearly as possible, as well as make the rotation as simple as possible by working with the school to create a "loop" using two different access doors in and out of the building. Given the complexities of the event, it is advised that teachers become familiar with the schedule attached in advance.
The full 2-hour block will be distributed as such: 25-minute full-assembly in an auditorium or all-purpose room followed by 15 minutes of transition time to get students to their first station on their group schedule. Then we will begin 80 minutes of 8 stations (8 minutes per station, with a couple minutes of transition time between each station).
There are a number of requests that we will outline of the host site. These include basic tech, as well as access to the grounds for outdoor stations. These will also be addressed in an additional document. Most of the items and equipment used will be provided by ABC27, but it is likely that a technology, as well as grounds/maintenance representative of the school, should be brought into the loop to simplify the process in advance of the scheduled date. In essence, the closer the stations can be to each other, the easier the process will be in shuffling students at that time.
Given the nature of the event, our camera crew on site will be recording brief portions of the event that will then air later that evening and the following morning on our newscasts. This video recording will show a 15-30 second overview of the event in progress. This provides students an opportunity to tune in and potentially see themselves on TV later that day (always a big hit). The details of this will also be addressed in a separate document.
We appreciate your interest in the event and look forward to sharing our process with your students. We do feel that this student-involved approach creates long-lasting memories for the children. In many ways, this event allows us to bring ABC27 to the students. They get to see up close and personal what they see on television every day.

This interview is part of our Designers We Love series, crawling inside the heads of wonderful illustrators, photographers, photoshoppers, doodlers, and generally super talented artists that we've had the pleasure of working with. These folks make The Book of Everyone beautiful.
In researching Daniela Carvalho's work, I took a nosedive into her portfolio – and nearly forgot to come back up for air. She's the very definition of a cross-medium artist, creating lovely urban murals, oil and acrylic paintings, delicate pencil drawings, manipulated photography, and even snarky animated text GIFs. The vivid texture of her work brings everything to life, from dragons to diamonds to… er, potatoes.
Daniela is originally from Peru and presently residing in Barcelona. We've had the honour of working with her repeatedly, bringing her unique touch to the horoscope pages, the chromosome pages (the one with bananas, passionfruit, plums… and yes, potatoes), and the eye-poppingly colourful dedication page.
I interviewed her to find out the drive behind her details.
Describe your style in three words.
Meticulous, introspective, surreal.
What was it like collaborating with The Book of Everyone? What was fun about it, what was challenging?
The team is as fun and fresh as the book. Each page has a different story to tell, so every time they call me, I'm always excited to hear the new crazy idea they have for me.
And then the challenge is to transmit that concept with my illustrations, to imagine the right world in my head and transmit that on paper. After all, in the end, the image is the first thing you see.
Who are your influences?
Actually, I don't have any particular artists who influence me. It's true that I'm amazed by the work of great artists from the past, like Rousseau, Magritte, and Schiele, but what really inspires me is authentic, honest, and hardworking people, more than the style itself.
What are you currently working on? What's the most exciting thing about it?
I'm currently painting a mural in Timisoara, Romania, part of FISART Fest. It's really stimulating because I don't usually paint that big, and translating the delicate effect of the pencil on a wall is quite a challenge. So I'm learning in the process, plus I'm learning from all the talented artists part of the festival. It's really a privilege to share time with all those quality people.
On your website, I see what looks like a paste-up in Barcelona, and a mural in Romania. How does your work interact with the urban world around it? How does it influence you; how do you influence it?
Yes, I need to do that more. Art is for everyone, shouldn't be limited to art galleries and books that some people can afford. It's always rewarding to see people enjoying your paintings in the streets.
What's the coolest place your work has ever been displayed?
I'm happy about the article for Vice magazine I did last year, about the censured sex education in Egypt.
It's always rewarding to illustrate something that helps create awareness of what's happening in this world. Plus, I always love being published on paper.
How do you balance commissioned work with the artistic drive to create what you want to see in the world?
That's a real challenge.
When you are a beginner in this business, you get asked to copy other artists, or to do stuff exactly like the client wants, but I guess, with time, people learn to respect your work and listen to you.
I actually worked in advertisement agencies for 10 years. I quit a few years ago because I didn't have the time to create my own stuff, and to be inside an office for 8 hours does not work for me (creatively speaking). I need to have time to relax between jobs and manage my own time.
If someone loves your work, what other artists should they look into?
Esra Roise, Nettie Wakefield, and Claire Scully.
What's your favourite YouTube video?
I have plenty, but the one I always remember is "Good Song" from Blur by David Shrigley.
Besides your own, what's your favourite page in our book? Got any questions for that artist?
I love Vladimir Stankovic's page. All those freaky cute characters.
A question? Maybe… what was his favourite toy when he was a kid?
Vladimir responds: "I had several favourite toys, mostly action figures, and one of them was a Godzilla toy. The others were mostly "Masters of the Universe" figures, such as Man-at-Arms, Hordak, and Orko." Check out more from Vladimir in his interview with us.
Big thanks for the interview, Daniela!

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — In a Newark courtroom this week, jurors and a packed gallery will hear how four college-bound friends gathered at a schoolyard one summer night five years ago to drink sodas and listen to music, their young lives full of promise and potential.
Then they'll hear about the aftermath, the carnage — three of the four friends slumped against a wall where they'd been forced to kneel before being shot, pools of blood surrounding their bodies, deep slash marks from a machete crisscrossing one victim's head and face.
Now, in the sixth year of proceedings in the case, the victims' families will be back in court to hear every painful detail recounted yet again, fulfilling a vow to "bear witness for their loved ones," as a prosecutor put it, no matter how much it hurt.
Opening statements are expected Thursday in the murder trial of the sixth and final defendant, Gerardo Gomez, who turned 15 on the night of the killings but is being tried as an adult, as were two other juveniles. Three defendants were convicted at trial with the help of testimony from the survivor, who has earned a college degree since the attacks. Two others pleaded guilty, one to reduced charges.
In the years since Shalga Hightower lost her daughter, Iofemi, in murders that shocked even this violence-scarred city, she and the other victims' families have doggedly sat through three lengthy trials as well as hearings, guilty pleas and sentencings almost too numerous to count.
United by unspeakable tragedy, they promised early on to see the process all the way through.
"It's without a doubt something we talked about from the beginning," Hightower said Tuesday. "We stuck it out this long because we had to as parents; those were our children. And because we needed to see for ourselves how the justice system works and that justice would be served."
At the time of her death, 20-year-old Iofemi Hightower was working two jobs and considering attending at Delaware State University, where the other three were already enrolled. Dashon Harvey, also 20, was a social work major who fancied himself a fashion maven; 18-year-old Terrance "T.J." Aeriel was already an ordained minister.
A fourth victim who survived being shot and stabbed is not being named by The Associated Press because of sexual assault charges against two of the defendants.
They were the type of kids any parent could be proud of, but particularly in a city where so many have been lost to the lure of the streets. That fact jolted the city, which had reached a 10-year high in murders the year before.
If earlier trials are an indication, there will be graphic descriptions of wounds suffered by all four victims in the robbery murders and photos of each. Hightower has left the court in tears as the slashing wounds to her daughter have been described, but she has always returned.
The families' resolve has made a deep impression on the prosecutors who have worked on the case since 2007.
"It's been a long and complicated case, and over a period of five years, over every step, those families were there to bear witness for their loved ones," First Assistant Prosecutor Thomas McTigue said. "It's very unusual and very touching to see that. If there's ever any doubt about why you're doing this job, all you need to do is look out in the gallery."
The emotional toll hasn't been the only cost borne by Shalga Hightower. She said she lost her job in 2008 because of frequent absences to attend court hearings and later was evicted from her home in nearby Irvington.
She said she has a new job and a new home in Newark, and said although she wouldn't change what she's done the last five years, it will be a relief when the last trial is over and she can get her life back.
"People ask, 'You're still going through this?'" she said. "I've actually had people say to me, 'You have to let it go.' I tell them it's not that I haven't tried to or don't want to; I can't move on because this is 2012 and I'm still stuck in '07, and I'm still going through this."
Kin ready for last trial in NJ schoolyard killings
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — In a Newark courtroom this week, jurors and a packed gallery will hear how four college-bound friends gathered at a schoolyard one summer night five years ago to drink sodas and listen to music, their young lives full of promise and potential.

When you think of travel, do you see it as something that takes a long time to plan which location to the next you will be traveling to? If so, then you have a narrow view of it. Traveling is so much more and it can be customized so that it works with you. Read on to find out how.
Before travelling, make sure you check the projected weather for your destination. You don't want to be stuck with nothing but winter clothes during a heat wave or only shorts and tank-tops during a blizzard. Purchasing new clothing while on vacation may not only be expensive, but you might not have room in your luggage to take everything home with you!
Be sure to create a list for packing. As soon as you know you'll be traveling, start a list of everything you will need to pack. This can especially help you if you are in a rush to pack, as it will prevent you forgetting things or including unnecessary items.
If you're worried about having your pockets picked while you're on vacation, try sewing a small hidden pocket into the inside of your pants to keep your money and credit cards in. This way you won't have to worry about them being swiped by an eager pickpocket. You can also do the same thing inside of a bag, if you'll be carrying one.
When traveling with a dog, brush your dog before putting them into the car, particularly if the car is a rental. This will significantly cut down on the amount of fur that flies around in the car during the drive. It will also reduce the amount of time you have to spend removing the hair from the car.
Airline Tickets
A great tip to keep in mind when you're looking to book airline tickets, is to compare airline rates online. By comparing airline rates online, you can find the cheapest deal available, and save yourself a lot of money.
When traveling by air, purchase your airline tickets as early as possible. Airlines that offer very low fares, like Southwest Airlines, have a limited number of seats available at the lowest price. By purchasing your tickets early you are assured of getting the best possible rates for air travel.
Cheap Airfare
Make your travel plans more affordable by booking your flight through a meta-search site. It can be tempting to get your tickets from a website whose purpose is to locate cheap airfare, but a meta-search site looks through a variety of airlines and travel booking sites at the same time. It will then redirect you to the site that has the price you want, saving you money.
Discount Flights
When traveling internationally on a budget, consider taking flights rather than trains to your destinations. While trains are perhaps the more traditional mode of transportation for backpackers, many airlines offer discount flights that are much cheaper than train tickets. This way, you can travel to more places without adding to your budget.
After reading through all of that, do you still see traveling in the same way? Do you now see that it is so much more and that there are very simple things that you can add to your plan to help enjoy your trip more? It's not a ton of work; it's whatever you make it.

The Siege of Harfleur
In this article, Dan discusses the siege of Harfleur, by the English in 1415. This was one of the first actions in the Agincourt campaign.
Having made landfall in Normandy, Henry organised his army into three divisions, known as 'battles', which he then led towards Harfleur. The capture of the town was the first objective of the 1415 campaign, but this was clearly not going to be an easy task because Harfleur was protected by a circuit of walls and 24 towers, enclosing 21 hectares, together with water defences and a defended port.
Furthermore, the population of the town numbered as many as 5,000 inhabitants who were determined to resist an army of foreign invaders. It was for this reason that the defenders felt confident enough to reject Henry's initial demand for surrender, despite the latter citing the biblical law of Deuteronomy (chapter 20 verses 10- 16), whereby the people of the town could be legitimately put to the sword if they did not yield to him due to his rights as king of France.
We are fortunate that the six-week siege of Harfleur is especially well documented due to the detailed eyewitness account provided by the anonymous author of the Gesta Henrici Quinti (The Deeds of Henry V), which means that it is possible to reconstruct the main sequence of events (translation in Taylor and Roskell [eds], 1975).
The decision to lay siege to the town
The besiegers began by attempting to surround the town, so as to cut off the defenders from any possible reinforcements or supplies. Henry's brother, Thomas, duke of Clarence, was therefore sent with part of the army to the east side of the settlement. This measure was too belated, however, to prevent a French company of 300 men-at-arms under the command of Raoul de Gaucourt from entering the town. The English then initiated a formal siege by bringing up their siege weapons, such as their guns and mechanical artillery close to the walls.
Gunpowder artillery in particular needed to be deployed at close range to be effective; this meant that these weapons and their operators were vulnerable to the missile fire of the defenders though. It was for this reason that trenches were dug by labourers and large wooden screens known as 'mantlets' were created to protect the artillery.
The author of the Gesta gives a vivid account of the destruction inflicted by these weapons, which within a few days had caused significant damage to the walls and towers of Harfleur, in addition to
'really fine buildings, almost as far as the middle of the town, were either totally demolished or threatened with inevitable collapse'. (Taylor and Roskell, p. 39: 1975)
The French response
The French defenders responded to this barrage by carrying out repairs to their defences and making strenuous efforts to harass and resist the English besiegers. This won grudging praise from the author of the Gesta, who remarked that the townspeople used guns, catapults and engines from the bulwarks, walls and towers as long as they could. After these fortifications had been rendered indefensible, they improvised by using screens, 'shattered openings in walls, and from other places where shelter would not have been thought possible' (ibid, p.39).
This prompted Henry to adopt other measures such as the digging of mines under the walls, with the intention of collapsing the tunnels, when they were ready, to undermine the defences. These attempts were frustrated by counter-mines dug by the defenders, which either damaged the English tunnels or allowed them to attack the miners whilst still at work. Other English measures included filling the ditches surrounding the settlements with bundles of faggot, so that wooden towers and other siege weapons could be brought up against the walls to prepare for an assault.
Effects of the lengthening siege
The long siege meant that losses began to mount among the English besiegers with deaths and illnesses caused by the outbreak of disease due to the unsanitary conditions. The presence of thousands of men, horses and other animals in close proximity together, along with the waste they produced, meant that the conditions were ripe for infection. This was a perennial problem faced by all armies undertaking sieges in the Middle Ages, with diseases, such as dysentery, often inflicting a greater death toll than those caused by enemy action. We also hear of dysentery within the town.
Hostilities escalate
Throughout the course of the siege the defenders had attempted to counter the measures of the attackers, with a sortie launched by the garrison on 15 September, which succeeded in setting fire to an English siege bastion. It was soon after this event occurred that the English were finally able to take control of the bastions (otherwise known as bulwarks) outside the main gate of the town. According to the author of the Gesta Henrici Quinti, the French attempted to drive away the English attackers outside the barbican, but the latter, under the command of John Holland, earl of Huntingdon, were able to obtain the upper-hand in the fighting. The victorious English were then able to set fire to the barbican using flammable arrows, which eventually allowed them to take control of the fortification, forcing the defenders to flee into the town.
On the following day an attempt to persuade the defenders to surrender was rejected, which led Henry to order that the trumpets should be sounded throughout the army to prepare for an attack and for his guns to bombard the defences heavily so as 'to prevent them from sleeping and so make them easier to defeat on the morrow' (ibid, p.49). Although some chronicles claim there was a full-scale assault, the Gesta comments that this did not take place: rather, God
'struck terror into our enemies, who were quite broken in spirit at the loss of the barbican…sorely troubled by the scourge of the stones and almost despairing of being rescued by the French'. (ibid. p.49)
The author also stated that the townspeople were frightened of the prospect of the settlement being taken by storm, as the law of Deuteronomy permitted the inhabitants to be put to the sword if they refused to surrender on terms. This led to further negotiations with the townspeople and the leaders of the French garrison who entered the English camp to meet with Henry. On 18 September they undertook to yield the town within four days if not relieved by an army of relief, delivering hostages and oaths as surety for this. The message was taken by the sire de Haqueville to the Dauphin who was at Vernon, on the Seine between Rouen and Paris. But at this point the French had not gathered enough troops to give battle to the English, especially as Henry still had his whole army with him.
The defenders of Harfleur formally surrendered the town to Henry on 22 September. The Sire de Hacqueville, 'along with the others of his company', returned to the English camp at 8 o'clock in the morning to deliver the keys of the town to the king and the inhabitants gave themselves up to his mercy. On the same day, Henry wrote a letter to the mayor and aldermen of London in which he described the terms under which the inhabitants had surrendered the settlement. He explained that due to the efforts of 'our faithful lieges' and the 'strength and position of our cannon', the 'people who were within the town made great urgency to have divers parleys with us'. Despite this, Henry had wished to order an assault on 18 September, but the inhabitants terrified by this agreed to negotiate a surrender which was accepted so as to 'avoid the effusion of human blood' on 18 September (Riley, 1868).
On 23 September, Henry rode to the gates of the town, where he dismounted, and then walked barefoot to the parish church of St. Martin where he gave prayers to thank God for his victory. The leading members of the garrison of the town were then permitted to leave on condition that they gave themselves up as prisoners at Calais on 11 November.
As for the inhabitants of the town, those who were prepared to swear an oath of fealty to Henry were allowed to remain. But the place was to become a military establishment: Henry installed a garrison of 300 men-at-arms and 900 archers – a very large force – under his uncle Thomas Beaufort, earl of Dorset. Therefore women, children, the elderly, sick and poor were gathered together and sent out of the town on 24 September. They were escorted to Lillebonne where they were met by Marshal Boucicaut who gave them food and drink, before taking them to Rouen by boat.

The 1910's were a time when "moving pictures" (a.k.a. motion pictures / movies) were gaining popularity. The films were silent but what they lacked in sound they made up for in acting and story lines. One genre that was gaining popularity was comedy (more precisely, "slapstick" and "physical" comedy). While Jean was mostly in drama and romance films and Strongheart was an action hero, the comedy world also had its rising star – Luke the Pitbull.
Roscoe's wife, Minta Durfee was promised a "nice bonus" if she performed a rather risky stunt herself and she agreed. The director, Wilfred Lucas, did not lead on that he didn't intend to pay her money. He told her to come to his house that evening for the bonus. Wilfred handed Roscoe a 6 week old pit bull puppy and, although quite disappointed that the bonus was not cash, Minta and Roscoe fell in love with the puppy and named it "Luke" after the director. By the age of 6 months Luke had become a full time member of Sennett's Keystone . Eventually Luke was on the payroll and earned $150 a week (roughly a little over $3,300 a week today).
Luke was the side kick of the popular comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and co-starred in 11 films between 1915 and 1920. During his career Luke also performed with Al St. John and Buster Keaton. He died in 1926 at the age of 13.
Pit bulls are a popular breed of dog today and are recognized by many registries by different names. The United Kennel Club has them in the terrier group. According to the standard, males should be 18 to 21 inches at the shoulder and weigh 35-60 pounds and females should be between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder and weigh about 30-50 pounds. They can look small but can be quite strong for their size. While the standards to not mention temperament, a true pit bull will be friendly and secure with its family and anywhere from aloof (or "standoffish") to friendly to strangers and typically confident. Most standards have extreme-shyness and any aggressiveness as a disqualifying fault. Pit bulls are intelligent and can excel in many venues including carting, agility, tracking, and obedience.

Why It's Better to Choose Shade-Grown Coffee
For most of us, coffee is part of what initiates us into the day when we wake up. Have you ever stopped and thought about how your magical brew is grown? What if I told you how it's grown threatens the habitats of birds. What if you could fix this without doing anything, but sipping!
Traditionally, in most parts of the world coffee was grown under multi-layered forest canopies. However, with advances in farming methods and increased human demand for coffee, plantation coffee became a thing.
Today, much of the coffee we consume is grown under direct sunlight in large plantations. As consumers become more conscious and picky about what they buy, many are opting for organic shade-grown coffee.
Environmentalists are now advocating for a return to the old ways. Even as we get wooed to shade-grown coffee, what does it have to offer?
- Better-tasting coffee
Sunlight-grown coffee produces more beans. However, the coffee beans ripen faster and the taste is underdeveloped. Under shade, the beans ripen slowly to perfection.
And the reason is simple- shade equals home. In the shade, the beans' natural sugars increase over time this enhance the taste.
Maybe it's not the coffee maker that's been failing you, but the choice of coffee. Take a look at some of the best siphon coffee makers here at Coffee Dorks.
- Healthier Option
Multilayered canopies are the natural habitat of most varieties of coffee. Coffee trees are more adapted there and can be grown organically. It will require little to no pesticides, herbicide and inorganic fertilizers.
In the canopies, birds provide a shield to the plants by consuming the pests. The leaves dropping from the trees not only decay to provide manure but also act as mulch, conserving water for the coffee plants. The interdependence of the trees, birds, and coffee trees is just amazing.
(Below is Ned from one of our beloved villages Som Poi - this is his coffee farm that sits beneath a shade canopy with fallen trees naturally decomposing!)
- Protecting Forests.
By taking shade-grown coffee you will be helping save forests in coffee growing countries.
In the 1970s, hybrid varieties of coffee that are sunlight- tolerant were introduced. To increase the production of this valuable product, most farmers ditched shade-growing for the hybrid varieties. Forests were cleared in preparation for coffee plantations. With time lesser and lesser coffee is shade-grown.
The destruction of forests has subsequently resulted in adverse environmental effects. Birds' habitats have been destroyed, soil depletion and soil erosion have been the order of the day.
- Support Small scale Indigenous Farmers
Plantation coffee growing has led to increased yields. This has hard hit small-scale, shade-grown coffee farmers. Most of whom abandoned the crop altogether. However, some still remain, and the only way to support them is taking shade-grown coffee.
The ship has not sunk completely. We can salvage it by sipping more quality shade-grown coffee. Although it might be pricier it's what we should pay for healthier better-tasting coffee. For more on matters coffee, see Coffee Dorks.
As consumers, we have a weapon - consumer demand. Consumer demand can influence to a large extent how a product is delivered. You can choose to support the status quo or use it to ensure sustainable production of coffee.
Wouldn't you be happy to have your fix knowing that you're influencing the world in the positive direction? Even if it were by 0.0000001%? Viva!

Founder Interview: Ray & Dale
As India gets more fashion savvy, startups are gearing up deliver new products and services. Here is the story of Ray & Dale – a luxury shirt manufacturer that aims to service the needs of 'The emerging fashion conscious Indian man'.
Who is the team behind Ray & Dale and how did the idea come to be?
Ronil Dalal: After completing his post graduation in Finance from Cass Business School in London, Ronil was well prepared to take on the banking industry. However after a short stint into Investment Banking, a lifelong passion for fashion and a styling project by his brother Rayan caught his attention and the idea of Ray & Dale – the business was borne.
Rayan Dalal: Currently completing his Bachelor of Commerce, Banking & Insurance degree at HR College, Rayan has always had a flair for fashion and an inclination towards creating. This thirst for creativity led to a project in personalised clothing which was a great inspiration for Ray & Dale as we know and love today.
The brand was set up with the simple purpose of meeting the needs of the new age fashion savvy India. The idea was to deliver an aspirational lifestyle experience with easy access to all those who seek high quality and fashion.
Your target consumer is "the emerging fashion conscious man" – can you describe these users and their needs?
The male customer is often neglected and feared by many due to their cautious spending habits as a group but this is changing very quickly.
In the Indian scenario, men have always had to the ability to make purchase decisions and now men are showing the willingness to do so too. Quality and fashion are big factors in the purchase decision, ease of shopping with easy return and refunds are equally important. More and more men are keeping up with the latest lifestyle and fashion trends and the fashion market in India is on the rise with promising brands setting up in India every year
E-commerce has become very competitive in India – how big of an advantage (or disadvantage) is it that you are going after a smaller niche that is traditionally overlooked when one aims for fashion startups?
E-commerce has a huge potential and it is a good time to capitalise on the e-commerce wave. Spending by large companies encourages higher number of people feeling comfortable in using online platforms and surfing the internet for the first time to meet their needs. This opens the customer to the idea of shopping online and this benefits smaller players too. Loyalty is earned through quality, good customer service and branding.
Most of the fashion startups are solely focussing on women and these are hence not our competitors. Infact we have received a lot of help and encouragement by established fashion start ups focussing on womenswear and accessories as we are not in direct competition.
Many market places find it hard to find good menswear brands and hence it becomes easier to approach them and they are more willing to cooperate too.
What is your manufacturing and design process?
We have always persevered to give you products which are meticulously handcrafted / carefully selected to ensure you get the best in quality and fashion. The customer experience is always at the centre of what we do.
Manufacturing scale is modest at this point and we are growing with the niche. We are looking for a full scale up based on target audience response and industry experts feedback and assessment so that we might effectively leverage our strengths and do away with our weakness. We have been operational for a little over 6 months and we have added tremendously to the value proposition we set out to deliver.
We are also looking out constantly for talented young designers and manufacturers who share our beliefs and values for a mutually beneficial relationship bringing you never before seen or previously inaccessible products delivered to your doorstep.
How has the growth been since launch and what are the future plans?
It has been a little over 6 months since Ray & Dale has gone live and the response has been very encouraging. We have received a lot of appreciation for our style, fashion as well as our quality which is extremely positive. We have also been able to target a large amount of women through a 'gifts for him' marketing campaign which has been extremely successful. We started out with shirts and have since added almost 10-12 new product lines of accessories.
The focus will remain on quality rather than quantity and each product is carefully selected keeping in mind the target audience. Demand for fashion will drive sales and The E-boutique model will remain intact. A limited roll out on online market places will come into play too.Tie up with stockists across the country would also help improving our reach.
Efficient ROCE model and quicker inventory turnover will improve capability and costs. Larger operations will reduce costs.
What is your one tip for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Build a product you yourself would be happy and excited to buy at the proposed price and make sure you are not the only one who thinks so! Make sure you have a unique selling proposition and know your target audience well. Always know that the customer is your point of revenue and learning, so never take the customer for granted.
Don't forget to register your brand and logo and meet all legal and accounting requirements in an efficient and timely manner. Avoid any black money transactions and pay your taxes effectively. This will go a long way if you're looking to raise funding or sell your idea in the future.
Remember there is no substitute for hard work but be smart to make sure you're using your time and effort in the most effective manner. A good team can do wonders – a bad one will destroy you.
Marketing is key and without successful marketing you will be unable to reach your target customer effectively having a good product or service alone will not suffice. Online marketplaces and social media campaigns are effective ways to reach large and relevant audiences at minimal costs. Writing to magazines and Newspapers can go a long way too in spreading the word.

My first year of teaching, I had no idea what a standard was. I was too busy trying to navigate an inner city classroom with 30 students who I could barely get to sit down.
As a member of Teach for America, I had only received 6 weeks or so of training prior to setting foot in the classroom. (I had been an English major, preparing to apply to Ph.D. programs. Then I saw a sign advertising TFA , and decided I wanted to help solve the problems that I had been thinking and writing about in my honor's thesis.)
Many have criticized TFA for placing poorly prepared teachers into the most challenging environments and in a way they are right. They did. But no teacher preparation, and certainly not a national set of standards, would have been an adequate replacement for my deep desire to succeed and to help my students whom society had failed.
You see standards are just a set of learning goals. At the end of the day, week, year…what do the students need to be able to know and do. The rest is up to the teacher. Breaking the skills and knowledge into steps, formulating units and lessons, and choosing materials and tools to help the students achieve understanding. The standards are the end goal, but teaching happens on the journey there.
So you see, when I first heard about Common Core I got excited by the rhetoric. What teacher doesn't like the buzz words they smartly attached to these standards such as "rigorous" and "evidence-based"? I loved the idea that all schools would be held to the same standard no matter where you lived in the country. It sounded so good that it nearly made me forget that a standard was …well, just a standard. And it turns out that the designers exaggerated their powerhouse design.
Despite what the ads claimed, standards can't do what they claim that they can do. Only quality teaching can lead to better educational equity and more well-prepared students. I taught 7th grade English for a year, using the Common Core Standards before I went on maternity leave. That year it was annoying, because I had to learn to navigate new standards that were quite wordy, and frankly, with 3 children of my own and one on the way, time was limited to say the least.
Many people do not know that teachers have to submit online lesson plans every week and each lesson must be tied to a standard. Lesson planning software has come a long way, so teachers now just have to click on the applicable standards for each lesson. Sounds easy, but I taught Reading and Language Arts and an advanced class as well. So I was clicking 3-5 standards for 4 lessons a day. Then I had to compose more specific learning objectives that were based on the standard for each individual lesson.
Once I finished all of that, then I could start gathering materials for the lessons whether it be finding articles, video clips or websites, or creating my own worksheets, projects, homework assignments etc. (And I won't even mention the amount of time spent grading quizzes, tests, homework, journals, and essays.) The point is that the standards are really not that big of a deal. Even the shift from a focus on novels to more informational text didn't bother me, because I had been teaching tons of informational text for years. Plus in my classroom, I had the flexibility to address the standards my own way despite what the curriculum map said.
For instance, the NJ ASK (the old standardized test being replaced by the PARCC) required a persuasive writing piece. So I designed an invention unit where my students learned and analyzed advertising techniques then applied them to market their own inventions. My students had a blast creating prototypes or actual inventions in some cases. They created posters, videos, and put on presentations in addition to writing a persuasive essay. It covered reading, writing, speaking, listening, and media literacy standards both on the old NJ standards and the new Common Core. I taught that unit for 8 years. Ask any student who was in my class during that time, and I guarantee you that they remember their invention. It was a month of fun….rigorous fun.
So before all of these buzz words, acronyms "STEM", and drastic standard changes, I was already doing it. And, I am sure that I was not the only one.
The problem came when the new standards became a political soapbox and a money-making scheme for testing and tech companies.
The new test was online, so districts needed to purchase costly technology and improve their bandwith and connectivity. Cha-ching!
The new test focused on new standards and new ways to solve math problems and ask questions. So, schools would need to purchase new "Common Core Aligned" textbooks. Cha-ching!
The new test required typing and computer skills. So, schools and parents need to buy more computer-based games and programs. Cha-ching!
Then the Common Core became inextricable from the curriculum. Heck, even teachers were to be evaluated based on the scores their students received. Finally teachers would be held accountable for ensuring that their kids learn and score well. (This one is funny, because not every teacher teaches reading and math or teaches in the tested grades.)
Then the propaganda got heated. Common Core was either the nation's savior or our president's attempt to socialize the nation. Just Google Common Core ads and see how far the propaganda has gone on both sides. But love them or hate them, the Common Core Standards really aren't the biggest problem.
The whole debate has lost sight of the children as they are moved like pawns in a political and money-grubbing game. I am tired of seeing propaganda. Tired of stupid memes. Tired of seeing happy kids leaning over computers
I just want our kids to be left out of it and in the hands of good, caring teachers, who feel valued for the essential and hard work that they do.

A guide to the thirteenth hole of the Rio Olympic Golf Course ahead of the 2016 Olympics in August
Rio Olympic Golf Course Hole by Hole: Hole 13
Hole 13 – Par 4 – 487 yards
This is probably my favourite hole on the course.
I love the way the tee sits in the trees but at 487-yards its another tough par 4.
Aesthetically it looks amazing with the waste bunkering running down the right of the fairway and the 100-year old Ficus tree sitting in the middle of the bunker on the corner of the dogleg, it really is a beautiful hole.
The longer hitters will have to be careful not to run out of fairway and end up in the bunkers on the other side of the fairway.
The second shot is just as stunning as you play back towards the mountains.
The green is very large with a false front and plenty of undulations that should make for some interesting pin positions.
James Mason of planetgolfreview.com travelled to Rio to produce the guide of the 2016 Olympic Golf Course of Golf Monthly

Education Students Reflect on Student Teaching Experience (1 of 3)
Adrianna Walton-Rogers, doing her student teaching in a 3rd -grade class at Kent Elementary in Carrollton TX, reports the following: Happy, sad, funny, and challenging—so much goes into being a teacher that people don't know. I am much more appreciative of what teachers do, and now I can see why they say "We don't get paid enough for what we do"—I agree with that 100%! One of my favorite things about teaching is seeing the kids mature physically, emotionally, and intellectually through this year. They have grown tremendously, and I am hopeful for their future.

"Honk! Jr" by Spotlight Theatre School
Nottingham Arts Theatre
Nottingham Arts Theatre
"Honk! Jr." is a heart-warming celebration of being different. It's a musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly Duckling. The musical is set in the countryside and features Ugly – a cygnet who is mistaken as an ugly duckling upon falling into his mother's nest and is rejected by everyone but Ida (his mother),
Ugly looks quite a bit different from his duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little "duckling" finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be. A great message to send out to anyone of any age.
I must admit, I went to the theatre straight from work and, not to put a finer point on it, I hadn't had the best of days. "Honk Jr" was just what I needed. It lifted me out of my mood and I ended up with an idiotic grin plastered all over my face. Anyone would have thought I was the proud father of one of the kids on stage.
Talking of which......
Spotlight Theatre School have gathered together a wonderful cast of young people with an abundance of talent. How do they remember all those lines, choreography, songs, where to go, what to do?
Maddie Keown is rather wonderful as "Ugly" and I loved the change from the duckling to a swan, a part that had the audience applauding. Great fun to watch.
As is Joseph Stafford who played the father, Drake. He has a lovely comedy about him which he delivers with a straight face.
The Cat was played by Molly Benner, who I've seen before but what a lovey self assured performance she put in. Totally believable as the nasty old cat who was hoping for a bit of duck l'orange for her tea. A nice powerful set of lungs on her also.
Maureen, Ida's sister was played by Erin Hanby. That family bond was apparent as she showed concern for her missing nephew.
The other ducklings were played by Jacques Sarazin, Jude Beaven, Sophie Benner and Lois Stevenson. Again there's some talent in that quartet and some lovely subtle acting skills being developed in them.
There were loads of other characters who were played by some brilliant young kids and the chicks
The production team were the best from the Arts Theatre and would take too long , and take up loads of space, but they know who they are. Like little theatre wizards creating magic for us to be in awe of. I just must say though that the stage mangers, Amy Rogers-Gee and Joseph Jk Smith did a brilliant job with the kids and the sets and props. never an easy job and often a job that goes unnoticed and with little recognition.
I listened to the soundtrack but it's only when you see the songs performed do you get the full worth of the songs. The lyrics have a lot messages that we can all, however old we are, take away something.
This is the first time that I had seen "Honk Jr", having missed out last year from being able to see it performed by another theatre group, and I love this show. It gives a serious message out but delivered in such a way that it doesn't preach.
The book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe have some of the corniest, cheesy jokes I've head in a while, well at least since panto, but they worked magic. The music was by George Stiles, infuriatingly catchy.
I may have left work tonight feeling a bit down but thanks to Spotlight Theatre School and those amazing young actors, they sent me home in the bestest of moods.
Thank you Amanda Hall and everyone involved in Spotlight Theatre School, and I can't wait to see these kids grow into fully fledged local actors, in the same way that those chicks hatched and spread their grown up wings.

Until a couple of days ago, Republican voters and the media seemed to be settling on Newt Gingrich as the front-runner for the GOP candidacy. Although Mitt Romney won (barely) the Iowa caucuses and Gingrich was far behind, Gingrich was ahead in the Republican national polls, and far ahead in the polls for the Florida and South Carolina caucuses, according to RealClearPolitics.com. Now, although slightly behind Romney in the Republican national polls, he has settled as a major contester to Romney's nomination, particularly in South Carolina and Florida.
I wrote a while ago about Rick Perry's emergence as a seemingly stable front-runner after the media and Republican voters had cycled through many others (always avoiding, of course, Mitt Romney). Well, the voters and the media soon dropped Perry and moved on, continuing the seemingly endless cycle (even Rick Santorum surged recently). Like an eight-year-old child deciding what to order for dessert at a fancy restaurant, the Republican voters appeared to be considering the more zany options before, we all agreed, they would settle for the safe choice and just order the damn vanilla ice cream (Mitt Romney). Well, who better to appeal to the eight-year-olds of America than a creepy old overgrown elf in the form of Newt Gingrich?
I am quite surprised that the Republican voters have shifted their attention to Newt. It seems the Republican base has lost all memory of the 1990s, when then-Speaker of the House Gingrich cost the Republican Party a lot of support by shutting down the government because of personal grievances with President Clinton. Later, Speaker Gingrich was reprimanded by the House for ethics violations (unrelated to the government shutdown) and ordered to pay a $300,000 penalty. He finally resigned because of deep discontent with his leadership among Republicans in Congress. Gingrich's penalty was the first time in the House's history that a Speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing and the government shutdown was the longest in history (two historical facts that I am sure "Gingrich the historian" would love for everybody to forget). He also had an inflated and grandiose sense of self, writing in his personal notes that his mission was to be the "advocate of civilization," "definer of civilization," "teacher of the rules of civilization," "organizer of the pro-civilization activists," and "leader (possibly) of the civilizing forces," and that part of his 25-year plan to civilize the United States would be to have "Gingrich the historian applying the lessons of history to public life."
But I am here to discuss Gingrich's attacks on the students of America. On November 18, Gingrich held a conversation at Harvard's John F. Kennedy Institute of Politics in which he said, "Students are gonna actually have to study." Later in that same discussion, he answered a question about income inequality and lack of social mobility by proposing the relaxation of child labor laws to give kids "any job that teaches them to show up on Monday." He called child labor laws "truly stupid" and suggested that children should work as janitors in their own schools. I don't understand how someone who says that students have to spend more time studying can possibly suggest that students should perform difficult janitorial labor (in the hours when they should be studying) and clean up after the kids who can afford not to have to be part-time janitors. This favors the wealthy kids, who already have enough advantages, and marginalizes the poor kids because the poor kids can't even compete when they have so much less time to study.
Gingrich says that paying poor kids to clean the toilets of the more fortunate kids will foster the habit of showing up to work and making money, and that the poor kids will therefore be more able to compete and move up in the world. Gingrich blames economic inequality on the failure of schools and teachers (somebody is awfully bitter about not getting tenure as a professor), yet he suggests that we demean poor children by giving them menial jobs at young ages. What a great way to increase social mobility! Isn't it more likely that Gingrich's proposal would make a poor kid feel that all he could aspire to is a low-paying blue collar job, and that he has no hope of getting as good an education as others in his school, of going to a good college, or of finding a high-paying and intellectually challenging job? Wouldn't this just make the student feel as though he is stuck in the same life that his parents had? Instead of turning any kids into janitors, why shouldn't we try to improve the education in this country and have all kids be full-time students?
Naturally, Gingrich twisted reality by saying that it is the child labor laws that are "entrapping" children. He'd like us to believe that if the child labor laws were repealed, everything would be just hunky dory for the kids and they wouldn't ever get exploited (as they were, as any "historian" would know). We could just paint them orange, dye their hair green, and put them to work in a great big chocolate factory!
At a debate on December 10 (in which Michelle Bachmann introduced her "win, win, win" plan for Charlie Sheen's America... She wants the country to be tri-winning), Newt defended his ideas on child labor from Mitt Romney's criticism. More hypocrisy ensued when Gingrich said that he is "proud of trying to find things to give young people a reason to study science and math and technology" and then argued that students should work part-time in school (during school hours when they should be learning)! Gingrich suggested that we fire half of the New York janitors and replace them with one master janitor and local school children that would work part-time and get paid less. This is clearly a job-destroying policy in a country with an extremely high unemployment rate. Many have also noted that such a policy could result in the firing of a student's parent so that the student could work part time as a janitor and bring home less money than his parents did. That would be a great way for the family to make a living and move up in the world!
In terms of the widening gap between the rich and the poor, Newt's proposal to repeal the child labor laws would only make it worse. Since child labor would be cheaper, businesses that employ children would be able to keep more money for the top tier of the company, therefore increasing profits for the wealthy and decreasing profits for the wage earners.
One thing I know is that if I were a janitor, there would be no way I would ever cast my vote for Newt or anybody associated with him. I also know that anybody who cares about social mobility, equality of opportunity, and the education of American students could not possibly support Newt.
Newt's America is an America in which the children go into the coalmines at age nine and can only move up by working themselves up the chain of hard labor rather than becoming educated and getting a high-paying job based on their intellect. Newt likes to think of himself as a definer, advocate, and teacher of the rules of civilization, and yet he insists on undermining education by forcing poor kids to work at a young age. Is that civilized? It is a blatant attack on the students of America, and I am worried for a country that can even consider letting this megalomaniac hold a position of power.

Cornell Conference on Open Access Scholarship
Browse by
Cornell's DSpace, an online digital archive administered by Cornell University Library to make university scholarship freely available, offers new options for the university's scientists and scholars with the creation of "communities" for every department on campus. Departments can use these repositories for archiving and sharing both formal and informal "publications", including preprints and post-prints; data files; out-of-print books for which access is still needed; documents, audio and video of workshops and conferences; departmental histories; image databases; teaching, research and outreach resources; and special events, such as public lectures, according to J. Robert Cooke, Cornell professor of biological and environmental engineering and chair of the University Faculty Library Board, who has for several years been an advocate of open-access publishing.
Faculty and department representatives were invited to a half-day workshop to learn how the DSpace repositories will work and to discuss possible uses.
Speakers included Sarah Thomas, university librarian, and Paul Ginsparg, professor of physics and information science and founder of the arXiv.org e-Print Archive. Separate faculty panels discussed open-access publishing in the physical and biological sciences, social sciences and humanities.
The workshop ran from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, May 9, in Philip Lewis Auditorium, Goldwin Smith Hall.
Traditionally, university scholars and scientists have submitted their work for free to professional journals, which publish the work and charge universities a fee to have copies in their libraries. Since the advent of the Internet, a number of academics, including Cooke, have argued that there might be a better system: have universities bear the fairly small cost of publishing their own faculty's work online and make it freely available to everyone. As an early step, Cooke created the Internet First University Press, which currently makes available in DSpace a variety of books and multimedia presentations created by Cornell faculty and staff.
