Invest your suffering by Paul Mallard
'Let me be honest, during the last twenty years there have been times when my faith has seemed frail and fragile and almost ready to collapse. I have struggled with seeing my wife stripped of her dignity and reduced by her agony. I have doubted all kinds of things. I have exploded and lashed out. I do not like what is happening to my sweetheart one little bit. Chronic illness never goes away.' Despite penning these words Paul Mallard has never doubted that he and his wife Edrie were in the hands of God and that this was the ultimate source of comfort and hope. In the midst of their trial they tell of experiencing an unexpected intimacy with a loving God who is no stranger to suffering.
Emotions – living life in colour by Graham Beynon
God made us to feel. In this book Graham Beynon thinks through the place of emotions, how we view them, handle them and glorify God with them. He sets the goal that the mature Christian life involves a fully-functioning emotional life that flows from the heart and that it is possible to grow in good and godly emotions.
This material was presented at Word Alive in 2013 and therefore is also available as audio messages.
This is an honest look at the relationship between how we see God and our praying. Written in a down-to-earth style and practical in nature, parents will particularly find his family-life experiences helpful.

Radio broadcaster Clear Channel Communications said Friday its pending acquisition by several private equity firms may not close, even though the firms are ready to consummate the deal.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Clear Channel said it has agreed with Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital Partners that all closing conditions had been satisfied.
But the private equity firms said they couldn't close the deal on time -- originally expected by March 31 -- due to the failure of banks to provide the required financing.
While the parties met on Thursday, six banks led by Citigroup, which were to provide more than $22 billion of financing for the buyout, did not attend, Clear Channel said in the filing.
"The company continues to be ready, willing and able to consummate the merger under the merger agreement, which remains in effect," Clear Channel said in the filing.
"The company is unable, however, to estimate a closing date at this time and cautions the markets that a closing may not occur," it added.
The U.S. radio operator was granted a temporary restraining order against the banks -- Citigroup, Morgan Stanley , Credit Suisse Group, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Deutsche Bank and Wachovia-- after a lawsuit alleging they balked at their obligation to fund the deal.
The private equity firms filed the lawsuits in New York and Texas on Wednesday, accusing the banks of backing out of their commitments after capital markets deteriorated. Clear Channel joined in the Texas lawsuit.
Clear Channel agreed last May at the height of the private equity boom to be acquired by the firms for $39.20 per share. Since then, banks have grown much less willing to incur losses on leveraged loans.
The banking group faced losses of about $3 billion to $4 billion on Clear Channel, a person familiar with the situation told Reuters on Wednesday.
The original agreement calls for a break-up fee of either $500 million or $600 million -- depending on the reason for a deal failure -- to be paid by the buyers under certain conditions.

Strategies for School Administrators
- Acknowledge to staff that many of these recommended strategies, such as keeping a calm visually simple classroom, are contrary to what they are taught. Reinforce the importance of giving the strategies a try.
- Have staff in the hallways, cafeteria, playground and school bus loading areas to assist the child through transition times.
- If you have a naturally organized teacher on staff, ask him or her to provide suggestions to colleagues for organizing and simplifying the classroom to benefit the students.
- Ensure that parents and teacher don't have to start from scratch each year-provide the parents and the new teacher with a summary of the child's needs and "best approaches" that have been found most helpful. Make sure that this information is included in the child's school records. Focus on strengths and what WILL WORK as opposed to deficits.
- Find or assign one adult in the school to be the child's advocate (someone who will speak up for the child in a positive way and help him or her figure out how to resolve problems). The advocate can be any adult in the school from the principal to the custodian with whom the child has made a connection and who genuinely likes the child.

On Sundays, I mentor a group of 7th grade boys at my church. One day we were discussing our favorite books. Several of the boys mentioned the "Hunger Games" series and the "Divergent" trilogy. When I asked the last boy at my table about his favorite book, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't like to read."
"Are you serious?" I asked. His words simply didn't make sense to me. I've been an avid reader all my life. Reading was my escape and it opened up new worlds and ideas to me. I couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want to experience this joy?
"I've never liked books," he said and buried his face on the table.
I don't know why I was surprised by his response. I've mentored other boys and several of them say that they don't like to read. I try to persuade them to give reading a try, but I've rarely made any converts. According to a 99-page study, "To Read or Not to Read: A Question of National Consquence," released by the National Endowment for the Arts, an increasing number of adult Americans don't even read one book a year.
I work hard to instill a love of reading on my boys (my daughter devours books and needs no prodding). Not only do I read to them, but I also encourage them to read on their own. We make frequent visits to the bookstore, library, book fairs, and the comic book store. The key getting them to read is to find books that they'll enjoy.
My 8 year old son likes to read the popular series "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Captain Underpants." In addition, he likes books about science. He's very interested in how things work and loves to discover new facts.
Although my 4 year old isn't a fluent reader yet, he enjoys flipping through picture books and experiencing books on my iPad. We spend many hours scrolling through the digital books and reading along with the narrator.
I wish I could have done these things with the boy in my youth group, but it may be too late to turn him into a reader. It saddens me to know that there are many young men like him who have no desire to read.
I would like to encourage all parents to nurture a love of reading in your children especially your boys. A world of opportunity awaits those with strong literacy skills.
Stay strong,
Question: How do you encourage your kids to read?

Quantitative preparation of a salt and yield calculation
Copper (II) sulphate can be prepared by reacting copper (II) oxide with dilute sulphuric acid. The resulting copper (II) sulphate solution can then be crystallized, so that a quantitative analysis may be made of the product formed. This can then be compared with the theoretical amount, and % yield calculated. Copper (II) sulphate crystals are CuSO4.5H2O. Therefore, the reaction is:
CuO + H2SO4 + 4H2O î CuSO4.5H2O
0.2 mol. 0.2 mol. 0.2 mol.
According to theory, the amount of copper sulphate produced should be 159.61g. However, I believe the amount produced will be far from this. This is because the theoretical amount can never be produced exactly, even under laboratory conditions.
100ml measuring cylinder (ñ 0.05 cm")
100ml 2M dilute sulphuric acid
250ml beaker (x2) (ñ 0.05 cm")
Bunsen burner
Copper (II) oxide
Filter papers
Scale (ñ 0.0005
Clamp stand
A measuring cylinder was taken, and used to measure 100ml of 2M dilute sulphuric acid.
The acid was transferred to a 250ml beaker, and warmed with the Bunsen burner but not allowed to boil.
Copper (II) oxide was added until in excess.
The solution was filtered while still hot, and the residue was washed off.
The resulting copper (II) sulphate solution was boiled until it had been reduced by approximately 50%.
The solution was then allowed to crystallize.
Once crystallized, the solution was filtered to separate the crystals.
The crystals were dried between fresh filter paper.
The crystals were weighed on the scale.
Amount of copper (II) oxide from experiment
Theoretical weight/g 49.94

Only 49% of all children across the world will attend secondary school. And how many of those who make it to school, stay there? In India, as many as 80 million children drop out before completing their schooling. While there are a multitude of compelling factors behind these numbers, I will focus on one of the most important among them: access to education. Enter the mobile device.
The ubiquitous nature of mobile devices becomes evident when you look at the results of the TIME Qualcomm survey which said that 84% of the respondents could not go a single day without a cell phone in their hand and 44% would leave their wallets at home but not their cell phones.
Of the 7 billion people on the planet, over 6 billion have access to a working mobile phone. To put this number in perspective, only 4.5 billion people have access to toilets.
Of the 7 billion people on the planet, over 6 billion have access to a working mobile phone [while] only 4.5 billion have access to toilets.
To better understand how technology can enable reading (a baby step to m-learning), UNESCO conducted a survey to learn about the habits, preferences and attitudes of mobile readers. Specifically, the survey was designed to discover who reads on mobile phones and why; if and how mobile reading changes reading habits and attitudes towards reading; what people read and want to read on their mobile phones; what the central barriers are to mobile reading; and what factors predict people's intentions to read and keep reading on mobile phones.
The survey was completed by over 4,000 people in seven countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Zimbabwe) and supported by qualitative interviews with numerous respondents. The depth and breadth of data collection make this study the most comprehensive investigation of mobile reading in developing countries to date.
From the study, it appears that people read more when they read on mobile devices, and that they enjoy doing so more. People also commonly read books and stories to children from mobile devices. The study shows that mobile reading represents a promising, if still underutilized, pathway to text. If every mobile phone could be transformed--easily and cheaply--into a library brimming with books, access to text would cease to be such a daunting hurdle to literacy.
M-learning brings unique advantages when compared with other mediums, the most prominent being the ability to provide highly personalized attention 24x7 to all students.
M-learning brings unique advantages when compared with other mediums, the most prominent being the ability to provide highly personalized attention 24x7 to all students. The time spent per session is less in m-learning and it aims at completing small chunks of three-five minutes. The advantage of accessing a module while waiting for a bus or in a coffee shop provides huge ease of use. Pan India, mobile data usage has grown YoY 74% in the year 2014. This suggests people living in smaller towns and cities can get access to the best possible learning resources from across the world, at a very affordable price. As per TRAI and census of India data, cell phone penetration in India stands at nearly 78 connections per 100 individuals--this is likely to grow heavily in the coming years, creating the right launch pad for m-learning solutions.
Presently, the market for m-learning products and services is estimated at $3.4 billion, a tiny fraction of the US$4 trillion spent on education globally. Although m-learning is a nascent market, publishing houses, mobile network operators and device manufacturers have been focusing on it for years. Commercial m-learning offerings could take one of many forms. A non-exhaustive list would potentially comprise:
(i) Educational e-books and courses accessed through portable devices
(ii) Learning management systems (LMS) and authoring tools
(iii) Game or simulation-based learning tools
(iv) Adaptive assessment services
(v) Test preparation support
(vi) Distance tutoring and homework support.
By 2020, it is expected that global spend on education would double to $8 trillion. M-learning may address up to $70 billion of this market through specialized product offerings and a growing market for devices coupled with a coordinated m-learning ecosystem for effective dissemination of knowledge.
Successful implementation of Digital India becomes a prerequisite for provisioning of the m-learning backbone.
The focus to provide universal access to mobile connectivity is necessary for m-learning in India. Successful implementation of Digital India becomes a prerequisite for provisioning of the m-learning backbone. Furthermore, the renewed focus of the government on NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) would also be a step in the right direction with respect to m-learning and technology enabled learning in large.
India's online education market size is set to grow to $40 billion by 2017 from the current $20 billion. India has one of the largest education systems in the world with a network of more than 1 million schools and 18,000 higher education institutions. More than half of the country's 1.2 billion population falls in the target market for education and related services. This includes all age groups--beginners, school students, elderly citizens, employees wanting to train or re-train--in both rural and urban areas. They are all an audience and potential beneficiaries of this delivery mechanism.
In India (and every developing country), m-learning could provide last mile educational solutions without the hassle of physical infrastructure and availability of teachers. For the rural population, the biggest m-learning challenge would be customized material in a regional language. Grassroots institutions (like the anganwadis in India), NGOs and local primary schools need to cooperate with the provider in order to cross the language barrier make the entire effort worthwhile.
If the world puts its energy and resources behind the Global Goals by 2030 initiative, then an essential pillar of attaining Goal 4 (Quality Education) would have to be m-learning.

At The Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Upper School, our approach to education allows students to see the relationship of all knowledge to life, to moral vision, and to the creation of culture, while teaching invaluable lessons in critical thinking.
In the 2016-2017 school year, the Middle School and the High School were consolidated to create a seamless transition into secondary school education. The Upper School emphasizes a strong core curriculum that will prepare students for college and a life of learning. Small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, many holding advanced degrees in their subjects, ensure that all of our students will be challenged, inspired, encouraged, and supported as they grow into young adults.
A curriculum that includes emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics), a strong athletics program, a dedication to service, a well-developed Jewish Studies component, a state-of-the-art Start-Up Incubator technology lab, and a vibrant fine and performing arts program, further enrich our students' lives. Our commitment to a drug-free environment helps teens resist peer pressure and make good, healthy decisions.
Our outstanding teachers and staff represent diverse backgrounds but share a common goal — to educate our upper school students to become critical thinkers, caring individuals, and contributing citizens to the world.
Our students graduate as intellectually astute, culturally adept, empathetic young citizens, prepared not only for top universities, but for the significant lives they plan and want to lead. They are ready and eager to change the world for the better.
We invite you and your family to visit our Upper School and see our transformative students and faculty in action.

The Robert G. Ingersoll Birthplace Museum in Dresden, NY has undergone a major overhaul, with expert assistance from the Exhibition Alliance, and reopened in 2014 with new displays and a new design. During this reconstruction and reworking of the displays, new ideas on how to display the various items were discussed frequently with the Exhibition Alliance and Tom Flynn, director of the museum. The Little Blue Book printing plate, shown here, is the original plate used to print Ingersoll's Crimes Against Criminals, LBB no. 139.
Little Blue Books, if you are not familiar with them, were the brainchild of Emmanuel Haldeman-Julius back in the early 1900's (see my blog here for more about them). CFI Libraries has a vast collection of them, and recently, I have been going through the LBB collections, verifying what items I have, rechecking the duplicates, and creating an extensive inventory of them. I have checked numbers 1 through 900 so far, and have about 2,300 books that are unique in some way. For example, some are printed later with a title change or a union printing label, or possibly have a copyright date or a copyright date removed. EH-J publications have unique problems when trying to classify them; there is professional library literature that discusses these issues. There are also several websites that I know of, plus a whole bunch of collectors who have extensive knowledge about these books.
I started going through all the LBB because I was asked by Tom Flynn for an original Crimes Against Criminals for display with the copper plate. The ones we had on hand were not suitable, and I was not able to find a decent one for display right away. After going through all the items, I was finally able to find a few that fit the criteria needed for the display. Tom returned from the museum with the photo seen here and the LBB is now part of the museum collection.
Crimes Against Criminals is another of those Ingersoll items that has many different editions. In our Rare Book Room, we have more than a few, but a calf-skin Roycrofter's edition from 1906 is my favorite.
I am not sure if the museum will be doing an update of their virtual tour soon, so the only way you will be able to see both plate and book together is here, or by visiting the museum itself.

Strategies to Prevent Pressure Sores
Preventing pressure sores
Ever experienced waking up from a really good dream and finding some red spots in your face that are painful to touch? Yes, we get those from sleeping in the same position for too long, how about when you stay in the same position for hours, even days for some? Imagine all the pressure you bring about to your skin.
As the cliché goes, "Prevention is better than cure". This is what we, nurses, always promote. Preventing certain conditions rather than finding cures and treatment plans for them. Not only does this strategy save patients from spending way too much, but we are also saving them from possible complications that may worsen their already fragile health. We have seen how "bothering" bedsores may seem to some immobile patients and how much more unpleasant they might be if left untreated. But are there ways to prevent such from happening? How does one avoid himself from having bedsores?

Floral Notes and Bardo: The Creative Chronicles of a Shambhala Mountain Resident is a daily feature on the SMC blog in which a member of our staff/community shares his experience of existing as part of Shambhala Mountain Center.
Changes visible in moonlight — the aspens and my ongoing evolution.
Myself and the newly elected Dekyongs gathered in the fancy upstairs lounge of Shambhala Lodge — it always feels like a VIP room to me, compared to the rustic spaces I typically inhabit. I shared my thoughts and experience related to Head Dekyongship and the Delek System at SMC. I'm committed to ensuring a good, wholesome, transfer of power.
We sat in a circle and through a rousing round of spontaneous insight, elected my buddy Danny to be the next Head Dekyong.
I'm looking forward to being out of the position. There's a lot going on these days. I'm working extra hours in the Marketng job — we all are — to bring this event to fruition. We're giving birth. Meanwhile, I'm giving Stupa Tours, doing Ikebana, and beginning teacher training. I'm seeking space within the packed days — trying to enjoy walks to the bathroom.
My life is full. But, I'm sure that's not true. If more things popped up that I need to do, it would probably be possible to do more things — to rest less, have even less free time. But, eeesh… My personal life, my relationship with Heather, my art (which has been severely neglected lately), is also important!
What is right exertion? Running hotter than is healthy doesn't feel right.
I want a healthy, balanced, life.
Speaking of health… after many years of not being able to go to the dentist — because I was living a good life as a starving artist, and choosing trips to NYC, Phish concerts, and bags of weed over dental hygiene — I finally went! For a while now, I've been wondering which would come first: tooth-ache, tragedy, or getting a check-up and cleaning. The latter won, by a hair.
My mouth is not in good shape, but it could be worse. My teeth are good, but my gums are not. I was told that I need about $20,000 in periodontal surgery. That number is not even real to me. I don't know what to do.
Aside from that huge WTF, my life is feeling really good, and I feel like I'm learning a lot about how to conduct a good, healthy, life. My finances are balanced, my health is good… But, WHAM.
It feels heartbreaking — knowing that my body needs care that I cannot afford to give it.
I'm going to look around at my options, maybe there's another way…

China Mobile profit beats estimates on 4G subscriber gains
[SHANGHAI] China Mobile Ltd's first-half profit rose 5.6 per cent, beating analyst estimates, after the world's largest phone carrier by users added more 4G subscribers than the populations of the UK and Spain combined.
Net income increased to 60.6 billion yuan (S$12.23 billion), compared with 57.3 billion yuan a year earlier, the company said in a statement on Thursday. The results exceeded the 58.8 billion yuan median of five analysts' estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
The carrier, which accounts for about 65 per cent of the nation's wireless users, added 116.3 million 4G subscribers during the first six months as more people made the switch from slower services.
That market has room to grow as more than half of China's mobile-phone users use slower 3G or 2G services.
China Mobile shares were unchanged at HK$96.05 at the midday trading break in Hong Kong.

Separately among other phone operators in the region, Australia's Telstra Corp on Thursday reported a 36 per cent increase in its fiscal-year profit, more than analysts estimated.
Singapore Telecommunications Ltd posted quarterly earnings that were little changed from a year earlier.
Operating revenue for China Mobile increased 7.1 per cent to 370.4 billion yuan.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation gained 2.9 per cent to 134.4 billion yuan. The company added 10.8 million broadband users during the first six months.
The company says it will continue to hold talks with regulators on the expected cancellation of long-distance and roaming tariffs. Though the company says it had a "good" first half, competition in 4G, new competition from Internet companies and regulatory uncertainties are risks that China Mobile faces going forward.

Flogging Molly Tempe Beach Park 3/17/14
A wild, crazy, and drunken St. Paddy's Day celebration unfolded at Tempe Beach Park on Monday night as the Celtic folk-punks of Flogging Molly rocked a crowd of thousands during their visit to the Valley on their 10th and final Green 17 Tour.
Dave King, the band's Irish-born lead vocalist/guitarist, kept the energy high as he and his bandmates capped off their decade-long tradition of spending St. Patrick's performing at the Tempe park with a bang.
As King danced little jigs on stage, many people in the crowd attempted to follow in his footsteps, but -- due to inebriation -- ended up looking like they were performing poorly executed versions of the Running Man. Nonetheless, this was a night to remember for those in attendance of the celebration, and not because of drunken dance moves.
Flogging Molly's show was also a celebration, as King explained, of how the Irish are finally getting along. And, he added, if they can find peace with each other, then everyone else in the world can do so as well. Of course, such subject matter shouldn't come as a surprise, since Flogging Molly is known for their awareness of sociopolitical issues and their willingness to be open about it in their songs, which is one of the many things that fans have grown to love about them.
And then there's the band's less serious side.
For instance, King demonstrated his mischievous early on when he admitted to the crowd that he didn't have anything green to wear. He quickly remedied the situation, however. "You bastards have [green] everywhere," King said as he pulled out a green necklace to don for the remainder of the night.
Even when it seemed as though the already rowdy energy of the crowd couldn't get any more intense, things really revved up when banjo player Robert Schmidt started playing the familiar intro to "Drunken Lullabies" and got the crowd jumping up and down and singing in unison at the top of their lungs. It was a massive St. Patrick's sing-along to one of Flogging Molly's most famous songs.
The audience kept up the St. Paddy's Day spirit as the band dished out one great song after another, like "Life in a Tenement Square" led by Bridget Regan on the tin whistle and "Saints & Sinners" led by bassist Nathen Maxwell.
Flogging Molly then set aside their electric instruments for the moment and performed an acoustic set to slow things down just a wee bit. It included "This Present State of Grace," "The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)" and "Us of Lesser Gods."
King made sure to point out guitarist Dennis Casey's 12-string acoustic, which he managed to play with great ease while jumping up and down. The Flogging Molly frontman offered similar antics himself and he set down his guitar to grace the crowd with a perfectly executed Irish jig.
Once the band plugged itself back in and returned the swing of things, King took a few moments to dedicate "The Rare Ould Times" to Luke Kelly, the noted Irish folk musician and singer who passed away in 1984, and offered a similar honor to the late folk guitarist and activist Pete Seeger before "Rise Up."
Throughout the night, King also made sure to pay tribute to the troops and salute them for their service to our country and had even dedicated "Son Never Shines" to his mother, who will be turning 92 this year because, as he claims, she smoked 20 cigarettes and drank half a bottle of Jameson a day. King also amusingly noted that his mum would probably "murder me if she ever saw me drinking Guinness from a can."
Speaking of the adverse effects of alcohol consumption, the Flogging Molly frontman warned the crowd a few times about the nasty hangovers they're all bound to have when they woke up the following morning. His advice? Do as the Irish do and call in sick to work.
So as Flogging Molly's last-ever Green 17 show in Tempe came to a bittersweet close with a performance of their signature hit, "If I Ever Leave This World Alive," people were still blissfully and drunkenly dancing and singing along, collectively heading towards their mutual fates of massive hangovers that will be both well-earned and well-deserved.
Critic's Notebook:
Personal Bias: I can't really say I have any bias. I've never really listened to Flogging Molly too heavily (although I know their music), so I didn't go into this show with any fan-girl feelings or expectations, which really made this a fun experience.
The Crowd: Green everywhere! Everybody had green hats, hair, beards, pants, and kilts. I mean, it was St. Paddy's Day, so good job, everyone!
Overheard: (To me): "You're awesome. Seriously, you're really awesome!" I don't know what I did, but thank you, laddie, you're awesome too.
One More Thing: As a completely sober spectator, it was really amusing to watch all of the drunk people try to dance an Irish jig.

The .om ccTLD was re-delegated in 2011 and the TRA took over the .om registry administration from Omantel in 2012.
Major Milestones for 2012:
- The system was brought online in March 2012
- Domain name registrations and renewals commenced in first week of April 2012
- Nawras and Gulf CyberTech signed up to be Domain Name Registrars and were accredited via the Registry system Portal in October 2012.
- Two of three registrars completed their testing for their EPP Connections and became fully accredited fully registrars for both Web Portal and Extensible Provisioning Protocol (hereinafter referred to as EPP) for .om and .oman (عمان) Domain Names.
Most effort was put into get registrars to connect via EPP to the Registry so that the registration processes of Domain Names can be automated. The EPP connection allows online applications and responses to be made in real time, providing registrants with a speedy and reliable service.
A total of 1,451 existing domains were migrated to the new registry system while from March to December, 240 new Domain Names were created consisting of both .om ccTLD and عمان .IDN Domains. The total number of registered domains as of 31st December 2012 reached 1,691.

Security officials say nine Islamists detained without trial for five years over suspected links to an extremist group have been released on bail.
The men were arrested in 2007 after three months of clashes in a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon. Authorities said the men had links to the militant Fatah al-Islam.
Seven are Lebanese, one is a Syrian and the other is a Palestinian. They were released Tuesday.
They are among a group of around 180 people arrested after clashes in 2007 between the army and Fatah al-Islam. The battles killed more than 170 soldiers and as dozens of militants and Palestinian civilians.
Many of the detainees are being held without trial. Their relatives have been staging protests demanding that authorities speed up legal procedures.

Birkenhead Library and Civic Centre / Archoffice

View original size
The architectural concept for the library is based around a simple narrative of looking through ancient existing trees on the site to the view - thus notions of solid and void, transparency, light quality, pattern and form were considered and modelled to inform various design issues. The intention was to have a pleasant and verdant quality of light available within the building that subtly changes during the day, leading to the building becoming transparent at night. The use of brick is a reference back to the old Plunket buildings that once occupied the site and provides a strong organisational element to the buildings design. The building enjoys a unique setting in the existing elevated Neil Fisher War Memorial Reserve. The reserve has been upgraded to both complement and enhance the building and the library is positioned to take account of the expansive and panoramic views available including Rangitoto and Coromandel in the east and the Waitakeres in the west. It combines Wi Fi, RFID, Internet and BMS technologies within contemporary architecture, space planning and design. On site public parking for thirty one cars within the building and a drive through book return have been provided.

Wine Talk with Alice Swift
Wine Preservation Methods
The inspiration for this month's article comes from my social media feed, actually. After doing my daily browse through my Facebook friends' posts, I saw a wine-related question come up (reworded for clarity): "How long does a bottle of wine last after it has been opened?" It's never a simple answer, as there are so many factors involved (red, white, age and other characteristics of the wine, storage conditions, etc.)
Technically, wine begins to "expire," or oxygenate, shortly after it has been opened. However, some wines do need some exposure to oxygen in order to open up the aroma and flavor characteristics within. Generally, the less exposure of the wine to oxygen the better, when trying to preserve it. Instead of focusing on answering that complicated question, I thought I would share some of the wine preservation methods that are used within the industry and in the home. In addition to some of the traditional methods, there have been some new innovations that have come to market in the past few years.
Traditionally, there were three major categories of wine preservation after a bottle has already been opened: inert gas, cabinet systems and vacuum systems. Inert Gas usually consists of some type of unique combination of gases that are heavier than oxygen, typically a blend of argon, carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen. Various brands can be found in your local wine shops, or purchased online (e.g. privatepreserve.com). Cabinet Systems usually are a combination of the inert gas concept with automatic dispensing capabilities. The system pours your wine as it replaces the void with inert gas. Oftentimes these systems are used in restaurants that offer wine tastings and wines-by-the-glass to preserve the wines longer. There are many competitors that offer a variety of cabinet systems for commercial use, such as Enomatic(nomatic.com), and also for home use Vinotemp (vinotemp.com). Finally, the vacuum system is a simple concept where a pump and rubber stoppers are used to pump all the available oxygen out of a bottle. It is the least expensive option, and can extend the life of a wine, especially in combination with proper refrigeration in a wine fridge. Though there are many options available, one brand that is reliable and has been around for a long time is Vacu Vin (vacuvin.com/products/wine-saver).
In recent years, there have been more companies trying to create new inventions for preserving wines. AirCork (aircork.com), formerly called "Wine Balloon," its inventor Eric Corti was initially featured on the show Shark Tank in late 2012 (he initially accepted a buyout offer, but then changed his mind and decided to take the entrepreneurial route). The concept is simple. A balloon is inserted into the bottle and is inflated until the balloon touches the sides of the bottle. This seals the wine off, significantly reducing exposure to oxygen. Since then, the product has lived on, winning first place on the Food Network show Invention Hunters (formerly called Kitchen Inventors).
Another ingteresting invention, called Savino (savinowine.com), was first introduced on Kickstarter. This product does require using the proprietary carafe. Once the bottle of wine is poured in, the "float" is inserted, which creates a seal between the wine and the oxygen, then the lid is placed on top.
Another innovation I've been reading about is quite intriguing, as the bottle of wine is NEVER opened until perhaps the last glass, yet consumers are able to extract the wine. Coravin (coravin.com) was invented by Greg Lambrecht, and involves inserting a fine needle through the capsule and cork into the wine within the bottle. The remaining wine in the bottle is preserved by the inert gas inserted in its place by the device. Natural cork will then reseal itself, leaving the bottle intact and unopened. Of course, this product will not work with synthetic corks or screw caps, but due to the price range of coravin, it's likely that you would only be using this for your higher-end wines.
If your opened wine is just too late to be saved, there are always some other options to repurpose your non-drinkable wine in addition to just cooking with it! Here are just a few options for you to try:
• Sangria
• Mulled Wine
• Wine Reduction/Sauce (Make a sauce to pair with your entrees, even add balsamic vinegar to make a wine reduction.)
• Wine Syrup (Use as a sauce/syrup for desserts, ice cream, etc.)
Options for wine preservation have certainly evolved and grown over the past several years. I look forward to seeing the continued advancement of the wine innovations that will be upon us soon in the coming years.

Commentaires de Visiteurs de Summit at Snoqualmie
June de United States écrit:
It would be really fair to their snow shoe patrons if they were told that they should completely avoid the trails that the cross country skiers use (at Summit at Snoqualmie). Basically, the majority of the trails do not allow enough room for both classic skiers & snowshoers so snowshoers are forced to use the center area at times. Unfortunately, the center area skiers felt that they were the only ones entitled to use that area - no matter the reason. Interestingly enough, the older athletes were always the most pleasant, but it seemed that the majority of the 20 - 40 somethings were complete jerks with entitlement attitudes - pretty comical and sad (for them) actually. One of the main things that clearly didn't register in their pea brains is that we all paid to use the trails. All in all, with the exception of great weather and a few nice people, we had a very disappointing day at this location and certainly will not be back. When we returned our equipment to the center, we commented on the problems we encountered and were told, "Yeah, we hear that a lot". Just Wonderful.

No more disruptive outbursts in Pine Bluff City Council meetings.
That's the message of Mayor Debe Hollingsworth, who has grown tired of interruptions and loud cross-talk, not only by members of the audience, but by aldermen themselves.
Friday, she announced plans to hire a Sergeant-at-Arms and a Parliamentarian to be on duty during council meetings. She said at the meeting Friday she won't hesitate to have someone removed if they're disrupting the proceedings.
A few issues have prompted a lot of shouting and aggressive language lately, most notably the city ordinance that requires department heads to live inside the city limits of Pine Bluff.
Friday's meeting itself offered an example of an escalating disagreement. Mayor Hollingsworth pounded her gavel to quell a side conversation between Aldermen Glen Brown and Thelma Walker. Brown objected to the Mayor treating him like a child, as he characterized it.
Hollingsworth has not yet found candidates for the Sergeant-at-Arms and Parliamentarian positions, and she says she plans to run it by Arkansas Municipal League attorney Mark Hayes before moving forward.

This layout was done for a challenge we were suppose to use adjectives for each letter of our name to describe ourselves. So the whole layout had to revolve around our name somehow. I chose to use a picture of myself when I was about 5 years old. I also did a lot of white space which is hard for me sometimes. This is simple and clean and I really love it. I find it hard to scrap myself and now with this thread I am on I am starting to make pages for a BOM for myself, which I just love and would probably not have done it on my own. And for those of you who do not know what a BOM is, it is a "Book About Me". I think most scrappers scrap other and not themselves so this has been a real out of my box for me and I am really loving the pages that I am starting to turn out because of these challenges! My adjectives were: Nutty, Inquisitive, Naughty and Authentic and above my pic has the meaning of my name.

Matthew Bower is best known with his work in the noise rock (more emphasis on the noise) band Skullflower, but closely followed with his formless output as Total. The reason I am mentioning both of these is that this new guise, with partner Samantha Davies, is some sort of mutant hybrid of these two: filth ridden lo-fi feedback with the occasional hint of melody or rhythm that somehow sneaks through. Between these two discs, the duo stick with this blueprint, occasionally drifting fully into one direction or the other, but always resulting in material that screams to be blasted as loud as possible.
The two discs that make up 4 Black Suns & A Sinister Rainbow have their own individual titles, but I can not for the life of me figure out if there is supposed to be any thematic or conceptual unity to each work. Truffled Abyss begins with the two-part punch of "Perfumed Pressure" that comes across like Skullflower after a nuclear blast. Detuned guitars clash and feedback with reckless abandon as some sort of undulating beat lurks beneath the radioactive fallout, attempting to corral the chaos without ever really succeeding in doing so.
"Monstrous Souls" also takes this challenge on, mostly an unidentifiable mass of sound that could be guitar, synth, or electronics, which have a barely perceptible sense of order that is eventually pushed out to leave only dissonance. On "Glassy Penetralia," the opening riff nods back to Bower's more structured works, but within a black metal squall and unstructured noise context.
Perhaps on Werewolf Universe things have a slightly more prominent sense of order and cohesion, but I think that may be a stretch. Both "Chandelier Heat" and "R U Loathsome" build upon loops of guitar noise that bring some semblance of structure and order, but in the loosest sense of the word. The latter especially excels, with the rhythmic bits falling below a slow flowing wall of lava like guitar. The mid-range noise on "Thunderbolt Cumshot Axis" is so gloriously unrestrained that the whole thing manages to cross over from pure chaos to inviting beauty, which is no easy feat. Perhaps the biggest surprise comes on "Fangs of Ego," which is mostly pure, unadulterated Skullflower riffing atop a stuttering, filtered drum machine that keeps everything rather unsettled, so it never fully comes together as the riff monster it could be.
The two albums that make up 4 Black Suns & A Sinister Rainbow are extremely ugly and unpleasant, but in the best possible way. Bower and Davies revel in the nastiest, dirtiest noises they can coax out of their instruments, and with that and the slightest concessions to rhythm, Black Sun Roof! has produced one of those rare noise works that demands to just be played at the loudest level, which I have done much to my neighbors' chagrin more than once. And all the while I know I had a big, dumb smile on my face at the sheer spectacle of what I was hearing.


text: I am a big Music Man fan and am torn between picking up a second Stingray 5 or a Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5. I know the SR5 and love them but I played a used AD Jazz 5 and was pretty happy with it too. THe B string was not that great but much better than I remember the Fender B's sounding. I am sure that a good setup and string change will make it a smokin bass. Any of you Fender Deluxe Jazz 5 owners have any input or opiniopns for me?

The Northland Pines community guarantees rigor,
relevance, and relationships to prepare all learners for life.
Middle & High Sign-up for Parent Conferences
The middle and high school will once again use PTCFast.com to make signups as convenient as possible this year. Sign up here: https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Northland_Pines_Middle_High_School
If you do not have internet access, please contact us via phone at 715-479-4473. We hope to see you at conferences Thursday, February 27th from 4-7 p.m.
Research shows that parents involvement in education helps their kids do better in and out of school which is why the Northland Pines School District encourages parents to be involved. One way to accomplish this is by going to parent/teacher conference. To help families attend parent-teacher conferences, we hold a district-wide parent/teacher conference day during the school year. View the school calendar to see when it is.
Each school also holds their own parent/teacher conferences throughout the year. Watch your child's website, newsletter and campus portal for more information.
All three of our elementary schools now offer Family Learning Time. Your child's teacher will invite you, along with all the other parents from their class, in to learn more about what the students are learning and how you can help at home. Watch the video below for a sample of Family Learning Time.

About Shaylor Group.
Shaylor Group needed a new website to truly reflect their National position as one of the regions most succesful building firms.

Located in São Paulo, Brazil, Upbeat Games is an indie game developer with a mission to build fun and easy games that anyone can play. As a small team, the Upbeat crew reacted quickly to their game's growing installs in Asian countries, and is now seeing strong international growth with their game Witch Puzzle.
What they did
After noticing that Witch Puzzle was gaining traction throughout Asia, Upbeat localized their game into 12 languages, prioritizing countries with an existing user base and high gross national income (GNI). This led to a direct increase in installs.
"In the last three months, 98% of our international installs for Witch Puzzle came from Android," said Vinicius Sormani Heimbeck, Upbeat's founder. Upbeat applied these learnings across their portfolio of games. Now, 75% of their portfolio's revenue is driven by Android.

Saturday on MSNBC, Media Matters senior fellow Eric Boehlert blamed the conservative media for creating misogyny while discussing the media's handling of the National Enquirer's story that GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) engaged in several extramarital affairs.
According to Boehlert, the conservative media objectified and attacked Michelle Obama, "demonized" Hillary Clinton and has now created this misogyny with Cruz's wife, Heidi Cruz.
'There's a reason Republicans are objectifying women in this race in a really ugly and nasty way. The conservative media has been objectifying, attacking Michelle Obama for eight years. They have demonized Hillary Clinton for 20-plus years, so it's kind of coming home to roost. Donald Trump does not play by any rules, and he's going to throw this retweet. And now we've got the National Enquirer and Republican party and conservative media created this misogyny."

By Trevor Hunnicutt
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks in the United States, Japan and emerging markets rose on Monday, reflecting optimism that the United States and China are set to begin negotiations on trade.
MSCI's world equity index, which tracks shares in 47 countries, touched its lowest level since Feb. 9 but was then buoyed to a 0.81 percent gain after a Wall Street Journal report that U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was considering a visit to Beijing to begin negotiations.
Hope of a rapprochement between the countries abbreviated the markets' hangover about a trade war pitting the world's two largest economies against one another.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 302.37 points, or 1.28 percent, to 23,835.57, the S&P 500 gained 25.69 points, or 0.99 percent, to 2,613.95 and the Nasdaq Composite added 70.57 points, or 1.01 percent, to 7,063.23.
"This is a time to be adding risk, not reducing it. We are confident purchases at current prices will prove to be a very good entry point for an eventual move to new all time highs this summer," wrote Morgan Stanley & Co LLC equity strategists including Michael Wilson early on Monday.
"Friday's action does not dissuade us."
The Dow sank more than 1,000 points over the two days ended Friday while the selloff pushed the S&P 500 to within a hair of its 200-day moving average, a key level watched by market tacticians.
Emerging market stocks rose 0.69 percent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.57 percent higher, while Japan's Nikkei rose 0.72 percent to erase earlier losses.
Fears of a trade war mounted this month after Trump first slapped tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, and then on Thursday specifically targeted China by announcing plans for tariffs on up to $60 billion of Chinese goods.
Signs of potential compromise were also supported by news that South Korea would be exempt from U.S. steel tariffs in a revision of the bilateral trade pact between the two countries. South Korea's benchmark share index rose 0.84 percent.
Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury notes were little changed, but with yields rising at the front of the curve as the government planned to sell a record high $294 billion of debt this week in a test of investor appetite.
In a sign of fear still hovering in the market, yields on longer-dated Treasury debt were falling at the back end of the curve. Spot gold added 0.6 percent to $1,354.65 an ounce at two-month highs.
The dollar index fell 0.38 percent.
European markets were mixed, with concerns over the formation of a new anti-establishment government in Italy weighing on Southern European debt in particular on Monday, though this was counterbalanced to an extent by a ratings upgrade for Spain late on Friday.
Italian bonds underperformed, with 10-year yields rising as much as 0.055 percentage points on further signs that the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the anti-migrant League might explore an alliance to form a government.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index lost 0.81 percent. But the euro still moved up 0.7 percent to $1.2438.
In commodities, international Brent crude futures were last at $69.32, down 0.7 percent on the day. The possibility of a full-blown trade war had weighed on the energy complex on fears that it could harm oil demand.

India's Supreme Court has passed a new rule for the nation. All movie theaters have to play the national anthem before screening a film. The cinemas have been asked to display the national flag on the screen as the anthem is played. The goal is that hearing the national anthem will bring out feelings of patriotism and nationalism amongst Indians. The Indian state of Maharashtra has already been enforcing this rule for some time now. India's largest city, Mumbai (which used to be called Bombay), is in Maharashtra.
Indians love going to the movies. One of the largest film industries in the world is the Hindi language film industry based in Mumbai. It has been nicknamed Bollywood. The word Bollywood is a portmanteau (a word that blends two or more words together) of "Bombay" and "Hollywood" (the American film industry).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the leader of India. India's national anthem is "Jana Gana Mana". You can hear the national anthem and watch a video about Modi here.

Jamison Firestone
Jamison Firestone is a New York attorney and human rights / anti-corruption crusader who inadvertently helped set off a chain of events that caused a Russian government lawyer to walk into Trump Tower. Mr. Firestone founded Russia's first independent foreign law firm in 1993 with $1,000.
In 1996 his firm was ranked 6th in Russia by revenue. By 2006 Mr. Firestone's firm was administering investment structures for his clients that held over $5 billion in assets. Mr. Firestone was also a Director of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia and head of its Enterprise Development Committee. In 2007, structures administered by Mr. Firestone's firm were hijacked by Russian officials and used to steal $230 million from the Russian State. Mr. Firestone's partner, Sergei Magnitsky, blew the whistle on the crime and was subsequently arrested and killed by the officials he testified against. Since then Mr. Firestone has teamed up with a client, Mr. William Browder, and their group has created a sanctions regime to punish human rights abusers and corrupt actors. Magnitsky Sanctions have now been adopted by the US, UK, Canada, and the Baltics and are under consideration by countries around the world.
Mr. Firestone is a graduate of Tulane University Law School.

Hi There,
I wanted to introduce myself. People call me the Bearded Chef and I currently cook and reside in Boston MA. For a while I was a food critic, but then joined Le Cordon Bleu Boston and will have my associates in Culinary Arts in about 3 months.
I have a huge interest and respect in artisan cookery. Anything that is old school, labor intensive and simple is what I love. Sourdough and artisan breads happens to be one of my fascinations :)
My sourdough culture is now about 30 days old, being born in my kitchen of where I work.
The flavors of the finished bread are wonderful, and I can't be happier. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my bread that perfect round shape, as well as doing different designs in the flour. I understand that there are different bread baskets that the dough is placed in that creates perfectly round and patterned breads. Would the flour be left on the bread while baking instead of being sprayed? How would you get all those nice patterns within the flour? Do you simply wet a brush and wet the areas where you would like designs in the flour?
Anyways, very soon, I hope to post pictures of myself and the breads and starters I have created, and others that I am about to...
Glad to be here!

It's easy to get carried away with sludge metal. Worshippers at the altar of the riff often find themselves poised at one of two extremes: playing 20-plus minute feedback-laden dirges to half-catatonic audiences or essentially becoming a loud blues-rock band. While neither one of these things is inherently bad, it's nice when a sludge metal band is able to stir the pot (pun absolutely intended) a bit, and Portland, Oregon's Lord Dying does just that. Its latest LP, 2015's "Poisoned Altars," hits a rare sweet spot that blends Crowbar-inspired riffs and vocals with subtle hints of prog-metal that call to mind early Mastodon. It's the sound of an exciting band breathing life into a genre that's in danger of going up in smoke.
Lord Dying will play with Black Fast, Child Bite, The Highest Leviathan, and Monolith on Wednesday, August 31, at The Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $12 over 21; $14 under. bugjar.com; lorddying.bandcamp.com.

You will get the maximum amount of rent after we have taken off charges for:
When we have worked out what money you get each week, if it's less than, or the same as the applicable amount you will usually get the maximum benefit. But don't forget, if you have non-dependants living with you we might have to make deductions from your benefit for them.
Also, the amount of Housing Benefit you get might be affected by what the rent officer has said, or by any service charges that are included in your rent.
If your income is less than, or the same as, your 'applicable amount', you should claim Income Support or Job Seeker's Allowance as you might get more help.
You may also be able to claim other benefits - i.e. Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.

Many people savor the firm, sweet crunch of fresh corn on the cob as a complement to their summer barbecues or picnics — but corn ceviche? Yup, it exists. You'll find that and other creative dishes in Lisa Skye's new book, "I Love Corn."
"It's yellow, it's happy, it's great in the things I already knew it was great in like salads and salsas. But who knew there was corn ice cream?" says Skye about her motivation for writing the book.
To find these special dishes, Skye asked 50 renowned chefs, including bigwigs such as Daniel Bouloud and Martha Stewart, to provide their favorite ways to cook the star ingredient.
We say try one out at your next cookout—perhaps Choza Taqueria owner Dominic Giuliano's Lobster and Corn Bruschetta. Minds will be blown.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
2 medium-size ears fresh corn, kernels removed (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium-size red pepper, seeded and diced
2 shallots, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced cilantro, plus for garnish
2 tablespoons minced scallions, white and green parts (about 4 scallions)
1 (1 1/2-pound) lobster, cooked, cleaned, and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
Salt and fresh black pepper
1 French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 avocado, sliced very thinly
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the corn, red pepper and shallots. Cook until the shallots begin to appear translucent, three to four minutes.
3. Whisk the curry powder and heavy cream in a small bowl, then add to the corn mixture. Continue to cook until the consistency of the cream has thickened, about one minute. Add the cilantro, scallions and lobster. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook 10 minutes on low heat.
5. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake until slightly toasted, five to seven minutes.
6. Place a spoonful of lobster mixture over each of the toasted baguettes. Garnish with a small slice of avocado and a cilantro leaf.
