Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is proud to be the home of Dr. Darold Treffert. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Treffert has been studying autism and savant syndrome for more than 50 years.
"This voyage has prompted me to look for, and nurture, human potential in whomever it is found and in whatever form or quantity it exists, including within ourselves." -- Darold Treffert, MD
Dr. Treffert has written two award-winning books on savant syndrome:
- Extraordinary People: Understanding Savant Syndrome (1989), now translated into ten languages, was the first work to comprehensively summarize what is known about this fascinating condition.
- Islands of Genius: The Bountiful Mind of the Autistic, Acquired and Sudden Savant (2010) provides updates on well-known savants Dr. Treffert has been following over the years, particularly the "acquired savant".
Dr. Treffert served as a consultant to the award-winning movie Rain Man, in which Dustin Hoffman played the part of an autistic savant, Raymond Babbitt. He has also contributed to international documentaries and has made numerous television appearances, including Today, CNN, The CBS Evening News, Dateline, Discovery Channel, and 60 Minutes.
Dr. Treffert has served as a clinical professor at the University of Wisconsin Medical School and UW-Milwaukee.
Dr. Treffert's findings and insights appear in over 50 national and international publications, including both professional journals and the popular press. He maintains a savant syndrome registry with over 350 individuals worldwide.
"No one in the world can match Darold Treffert's experience and understanding of savant syndrome - he has spent nearly half a century immersed in the subject. And when he writes of the 'beautiful' mind of the savant, Treffert shows the openness and generosity of his own mind." - Oliver Sacks

Barcelona Tour with Montjuic Cable Car and Montserrat
Information from Viator
Tour description
Perfect for first-time visitors, this Barcelona Super Saver combines two popular tours that offer the ideal introduction to Barcelona's famous sights, including Barcelona Cathedral, the Gothic Quarter, Olympic Village (Vila Olimpica) and beautiful Montjuic Castle.Take in aerial views of Barcelona's skyline, including La Sagrada Familia and the city harbor, during a ride on the Montjuic cable car. Next, enjoy a ride up to the Royal Basilica of Montserrat by cog-wheel train to explore, see the 12th-century carving of the Black Virgin and sample local liquor. When booking these tours together, enjoy a saving of 10 percent!
Barcelona Sightseeing Tour Including Montjuic Cable Car: (4.5 hours) Meet your local guide in central Barcelona, and start your morning sightseeing tour with a stroll through Plaza de Catalunya; admire its many fountains and statues, and then wander along the narrow medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter. As you walk, your guide will explain interesting details about Barcelona's historical sites. See many buildings from the 15th century, including Barcelona Cathedral, as you continue to Plaza Sant Jaume, where important government buildings are located, including the Palace of Generalitat and the Town Hall. Next, board a coach and take in views of the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona's coastline on the drive to Montjuic, a hill near the coast that features many attractions. Pass the Olympic Village (Vila Olimpica), which was home to athletes during the 1992 Olympics, and drive by Port Olympic. Continue up Montjuic for a panoramic view of the city and harbor, and then enjoy a tour of Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and Calatrava Tower. Next, visit the Spanish Village (Poble Espanyol) to see architecture and traditional crafts from different regions of Spain. Finally, board Montjuic cable car and take in aerial views of Barcelona landmarks such as La Sagrada Familia as you ride down the hill to Montjuic Castle. Admire the castle from the outside, then head back to central Barcelona, for a short lunch break (own expense). Montserrat Royal Basilica Tour and Cog-Wheel Train Ride: (4.5 hours) After driving through picturesque little villages, arrive in the small town of Monistrol to hop aboard your cog-wheel train for your 20-minute ride through the mountains. Gaze out at the glorious scenery, and hop out on the craggy mountain of Montserrat, a peak that rises to roughly 4,051 feet (1,235 meters). The Royal Basilica of Montserrat has been one of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites for hundreds of years, due to its famous 12th-century Romanesque carving of the Virgen Moroneta (the Black Virgin). After hearing an introduction to Montserrat from your guide, learning about its importance in past and present times, use your free time (roughly two hours) to explore independently and discover the site's magic on your own. Then, meet back up with your guide to enjoy a tasting of four typical Montserrat liquors and learn more details about the site by watching the 'Montserrat Inside Closed Doors' video, at the visitor's center. Later, travel back to Barcelona by coach.

All of my photographs featured on this website and in the Gallery Shop are available for purchase. Select from beautiful fine art paper, canvas or even peel and stick wallpaper, in a range of sizes from something to fit an A3 frame, up to a meter wide (or even larger!).
I personally print every photograph on my beautiful Epson large format printers using Epson's Ultrachrome pigment inks.
Depending on the image, I use either Canson Platine Fibre or Rag Photographique fine art papers: they are heavy-weight, acid free, pure cotton rag papers with no optical brighteners (which can encourage yellowing or fading). Every fine art print is individually signed and has a white border for ease of handling and framing.
Canvas prints have an additional 75mm mirror-image border, to allow for wrapping around the canvas frame. They are printed on a fine art canvas, and finished with five coats of spray which protects against moisture, finger-marks, and improves UV stability.
All prints should be handled with great care to avoid kinking, marks, scuffing or other damage. While the combination of inks and paper I use is the most durable, prints may suffer from UV damage if displayed in a bright/sunny location.

The improvements made in Zcash are a big step towards decentralized, financial privacy but there are some important considerations for users who want to maintain optimal transaction privacy, no matter which wallet software is being used.
Addresses & Transaction Graph Analysis
The address type you use can affect your spending abilities or privacy.
- Use transparent addresses for ease of use on mobile devices and bitcoin compatibility
- Use shielded addresses with the wallet's standard fee selection for better privacy.
- Use a unique shielded address to receive money for each distinct purpose.
Zcash has two kinds of addresses: transparent addresses (begin with "t") and shielded addresses (begin with "z").
Transparent addresses
- Are visible in the blockchain
- When included as a sending or receiving address in a transaction, the value transferred should be considered public
- Do not offer strong privacy
Shielded addresses
- Are not visible in the blockchain
- When included as both the sending and receiving addresses in a transaction (fully shielded), the value transferred is private
- Offer strong privacy against transaction graph analysis
- Are not supported in some wallets
Additional notes about shielded addresses
- The transaction fees are publicly visible for all transactions, so when using a shielded address it's best for privacy to rely on a privacy-focused wallet to select a fee rather than to select them manually.
- While it is safe to reuse one shielded address for receiving payments for a single purpose (e.g. donations to a non-profit), using one shielded address to receive payments for multiple purposes (e.g. a business service and donations to a non-profit), makes it possible for someone to compare the contexts where the address is used and build an identity profile.
Network Graph Analysis
A unique IP address can allow network observers to correlate your Zcash transactions with each other and with your other traffic.
- Be aware of IP linkability between transactions sent from shielded addresses and your other network traffic.
- Advanced users may use Tor to obfuscate the IP address of their Zcash node.
Notes about IP addresses
Zcash is a global network using IP addresses over TCP for maintaining connections between nodes and does not obfuscate users' IP addresses.
Users should be aware that when an adversary knows a person's IP address, other private details can easily be discovered (names, locations, business interests, etc). For example, in Zcash, correlations can be made between transactions sent from shielded addresses and those sent from transparent addresses.
Using Tor
Advanced users may opt to connect through Tor to obfuscate their node's IP address, however, further exploration is needed on a vulnerability combining Bitcoin's Denial of Service mitigations (inherited into Zcash) and anonymous communication networks like Tor before we can recommend users who are not familiar with the attack to route their Zcash nodes through Tor.
Security Considerations for Official Zcash Software
This section is only relevant for the official Linux-based Zcash client. There may be security issues that aren't listed here, please check regularly to stay updated.
Warnings & Recommendations
- Wallet encryption is disabled, use full-disk encryption (or encryption of your home directory) to protect your wallet at rest.
- Ensure no other users have the ability to execute code (even unprivileged) on the hardware your zcashd process runs on unless you have fully analysed your operational security.
- Make regular backups of your wallet.
- Choose a strong RPC password to prevent others gaining control over your node.
- Do not change the default setting that only allows RPC connections from localhost.
- Use a minconf of 10 (minimum number of confirmations) to defend against potential blockchain reorganizations (note: we may increase this number if ongoing research reveals notable risks).
- Setting the-debug=zrpcunsafe configuration is helpful for diagnosing issues but the log will contain private information, so be careful when sharing the contents of it with others. If this is too much liability, use -debug=zrpc instead.

CLASS sizes in Liverpool could be reduced to less than 20 pupils, it was claimed today.
The NUT says a surplus in teachers caused by the city's falling pupil numbers should be used to reduce class sizes.
But it is feared that as many as 40 teachers may lose their jobs this year.
The NUT, which represents around 48% of Liverpool's teachers, last week threatened strike action if redundancies are forced through.
The average primary school class in the city is around 25 pupils and 20.1 for secondary schools.
Ruth Knox, secretary of the NUT in Liverpool, said: "The bottom line is that we want teachers to be redeployed not made redundant.
"This is an opportunity to bring down class sizes to an enviable level, rather than casting aside valuable teaching experience."
The NUT is seeking meetings with Liverpool's education bosses to discuss what will happen when the school budgets are confirmed and headteachers know the full picture of staffing issues.
It says smaller classes will benefit all pupils but particularly those with special needs.
Ms Knox added: "In recent years there has been a policy, which we have supported, of integrating special needs children into mainstream classes.
"That does work but in some cases there are classes with more than one special needs pupil and that can create difficulties in terms of the amount of attention the teacher can afford to give a pupil."
Executive member for education Cllr Paul Clein said: "Money is passed straight to the schools and it is up to governing bodies to decide what they do with it.
"I don't believe there will be many redundancies and it is alarmist to suggest otherwise.
"Regardless of pupil numbers, schools will receive 4% more money than last year.
"With pupils numbers falling it is likely that class sizes will reduce, but that is up to the schools to decide for themselves."
Labour spokesman for education Cllr Peter Killeen said: "The fact is that the government is spending record amounts on education in Liverpool, and reducing class sizes should be a priority anyway.
"We support the NUT because this is a golden opportunity to drive up education standards."

The Orange Tree set for Americano show
PUBLISHED: 16:15 01 March 2019
Susie Hewson Photography
Meet the members of folk band Americano, ahead of their performance as part of the Baldock & Letchworth Blues, Folks and Roots final event at The Orange Tree on March 20.
Americano play songs from the great American back catalogue inspired by folk, country, old time and contemporary music from the 1930s onwards.
Al Hewson – vocals, guitar and percussion – has performed to thousands on national radio, at festivals and in the most intimate of venues in every county in England and Scotland.
Al has a passion for singing and his first live BBC radio broadcast was his award-winning song The Children in 1983.
He has fronted several bands including Anglo/Celtic folk band, Tam Lin.
In 2007, he embarked on a solo voice and guitar project as John E Cash – playing his first gig at Broadstairs Folk Week on the Kent coast. He was invited back the following year and he formed Americano to further develop his love of Americana.
Viv Lucas - vocals, guitar, harmonica and percussion – learned the guitar at school. As a teenager, he went on to play bass in a progressive rock band called Fool's Errand.
A medical career and family life sidelined his musical ambition for a while and he emerged again some years later to play an acoustic tribute to Neil Young, performing in various pubs in Hertfordshire, fundraising concerts at the Letchworth Arts Centre and further afield at the Cottingham Springboard Festival in Hull.
Bob Smithson - vocals, upright bass and guitar – grew up in a musical household filled with varying genres of music, including gospel.
He first picked up a guitar after hearing the Beatles and has played in a variety of bands. His influences include James Taylor, Crosby Stills and Nash and Lee Sklar.
For 20 years he has been guitarist and vocalist with the popular bluegrass band Buffalo, playing festivals and clubs around the UK including Edale, Mickleham, The Stables and Union Chapel.
Gary Fletcher of The Blues Band said of Americano: "Excellent – loved the voices and the harmonies, your version of the song Wayfarin' Stranger, which I thought was great, is now on my phone."
Americano will perform on Wednesday, March 20. Doors open from 8pm, entry is free and a collection will be taken for the band.

'Walter Mitty' footage to screen at CinemaCon
The Los Angeles Times has published the first photo of Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film. Stiller's Mitty is a photo editor at LIFE magazine whose daydreaming makes him an object of ridicule and keeps him from a woman he admires (Kristen Wiig). He goes on a series of quests — ostensibly to locate a missing image (taken by a photographer played by Sean Penn), but in fact to find his true self. The studio will also be showing 15 minutes of footage from the film at CinemaCon this week in Las Vegas! I'm sure we'll get a ton of reactions from audiences through Twitter and other social medias. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is coming to cinemas on December 25 this year.

Presentation Sisters Across the World Celebrate 40 Years of UnionBack
Presentation Sisters in countries across the world are this week celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Union of Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1976.
The Decree of Union was given by the Vatican on 25 June 1976, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, and the Union was officially established on 19 July in the same year. It brought together Sisters from many of the autonomous houses across the world that had been established since Nano Nagle founded the Congregation in Cork in 1775.
On this 40th anniversary the Sisters celebrate the strengthening of the charism of Nano Nagle and their growth into the spirituality of being in communion, especially the Mystery of Oneness, which Union has brought over those years. The Union has grown to be a Congregation that thrives through its richness of diversity, internationality and intercultural sharing and networking to promote the mission.
With representatives in 17 countries across five continents, Presentation Sisters have shown themselves to be true frontier women … always ready to embrace new horizons.
Sisters continue to answer Nano's call to be of service in any part of the globe. Recently, three Sisters have generously responded to the call to go on Mission to Cambodia. On 7 October next, Srs Anne Lyons (Ireland: North East Unit), Lizzy Matthew (India: North Unit) and Preethi Chacko (India: South Unit) will join the Jesuit Mission in a new school project which seeks to respond to the great educational needs of the north west of the country.
Reflecting on this special anniversary, Congregational Leader, Sister Mary Deane, said: "The world is a different place since Presentation Sisters took the brave step of fusing their independent communities into a greater whole. But the richness of diversity among our Sisters, harvesting of experiences and collaboration in carrying the flame of Nano creatively into the future has forged a wonderful collective journey for all Presentation Sisters in Union, which we will continue as pilgrim people into the future."
She added: "We continue to celebrate our connection to Presentation Sisters in the Australian Society and American Conference who remain connected to us and celebrate our shared vision of Nano's charism through the International Presentation Association."
Sisters from across the world will join together to participate in a ritual marking this important event this Saturday, 25 June 2016. You can get a copy of the ritual here.
As well as the new mission in Cambodia, our Sisters work in the following countries: Antigua, Canada, Chile, Dominica, Ecuador, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Slovakia, Thailand, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

A land I know where one can't speak
Except for the councilmen's bias filled speech.
Persecutions flow through this once great land
Like an axe in battle as it slaughters the next man.
Unjust and fowl as these leaders may be
Does not matter to the master of these so-called elite.
Go now and seek a new place to dwell
And never return to this place called hell.

I have a similar issue but its using my Roli Seaboard. The notes stick and hold and the only way for me to stop it is to remove the plugin from my host (Bitwig). The keyboard is not in MPE mode. Just normal single channel mode.
Is it a full Roli Seaboard (such as Rise or Grand) or with a Seaboard Block? Is it via USB or Bluetooth? I can try to help test this later this week when I'm back at home with my Seaboard Block.
One thing I have encountered is stuck notes with other things such as Equator. And I think I've deduced that it's while also having the Blocks Dashboard app open on macOS. I have to hit the MIDI panic button on Equator to unstick the notes (sometimes they would release when replaying the same stuck notes).
I've had a few issues over Bluetooth, with Reason sometimes claiming MIDI overflow even when the Block is in single channel mode. And other times it's fine.
Thanks Joey! Its a Seaboard RISE 49, using it with USB. I have a couple other keyboards but it only does this on the RISE.

IT'S strange that a restaurant should decide to describe itself as a kitchen.
Oriental Kitchen in the heart of Huddersfield town centre used to be known as Shangthai, but that all changed around 18 months ago.
With new owners came the new name that some might think downplays its restaurant status, but this remains very much a quality restaurant in terms of food, surroundings and service.
And when those three are right, then reputation should quickly follow.
While serving our food chatty manager John Kit revealed his plans to change the menu in the coming months and add more Chinese choices alongside the Thai.
Would it bring in more customers? Possibly. Time will tell on that but he'll need to aim at the same quality he's producing as a Thai restaurant.
It's a smart place on King Street, virtually opposite the main entrance to Kingsgate. You can't get more central than that. But it's also a bit of an odd set-up as there's a bar downstairs with the restaurant up some steep steps.
But as you get up you certainly get away from any hustle and bustle in the street below. Not that there was on the Tuesday evening we went. The town centre was deserted.
Oriental Kitchen has an ambient atmosphere with mood panels and a striking decor with big and bold wallpaper that works on its big walls. Had Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen stopped by, I wonder.
Tealights in small red holders personalise everything while the tables are covered in crisp white cloths topped off with a single red rose and the brown leather seats offer instant comfort.
There is a sense of pride and an eye for detail here.
Although there is talk of extending the menu, it's not exactly a quick read now with a choice of three banquet style meals along with an extensive A La Carte.
We're in plush surroundings so why not go for the most expensive at £23.95. Why not, indeed. After all, it's a three-courser that kicks off with a mixed starter – chicken satay, prawn on toast, spring roll and fish cake and served with three sauces from sticky peanut to hot chilli.
The chicken was a large piece of marinated meat on a stick, ideal with the peanut sauce.
The spring rolls are delicately cooked and not over-facing. Some restaurants can overdo them, making them far too big and heavy, but not here.
The prawn on toast also had a natural lightness to it which it should at this early stage of the feast while the fish cake had a slightly rubbery texture and begged to be dunked in the chilli sauce.
Then it's on to a ¼ crispy aromatic duck with extra thinly sliced leeks, cucumber and hoi-sin sauce wrapped in pancakes.
The duck is cut up at the table. It's a rich meat made even more robust with the sweetness of the sauce all wrapped up in the dainty pancake.
All the dishes come with vegetables cleverly cut into roses. The detail is amazing. Just how do they do that?
The main course for our banquet for two is a selection of four very different yet vibrant dishes.
These were Thai green curry featuring aubergines, fine green beans, peas, sweet basil, green curry paste and coconut milk; beef in black bean sauce featuring spring onions, carrot and chilli; mixed seafood stir fry with cashew nuts, mushrooms, spring onions, red and green peppers and chilli; filet of fish in sweet and sour sauce including cucumber, red and green pepper.
The mixed fish has huge prawns in it and some of the 'fruits de mer' in there will certainly challenge a non-fish lover with their weird texture. If you're not fishy then stay on dry land for this one.
The hottest dish was the green curry that was spiced up to the hilt with a slightly delayed reaction before the full flavour dances all over your tastebuds, but the impact is transitory.
Large chunks of fish with a crispy coat nestle up to pineapple in the sweet and sour fish while the tender beef and the dark, full-flavoured black bean sauce was a good example of a staple oriental dish. It all comes with a large portion of fried rice.
Had enough yet? We certainly had long before the dishes were empty so we took enough home for our meal the next night.
If we'd gone A La Carte the choice could have included hot and sour soup which includes shredded roast pork, thin strips of bamboo shoots, thin sliced Chinese dried mushroom, spring onion, beaten egg and chilli oil. Starters include chargrilled spare ribs marinated in herbs and barbecue sauce or Royal Weeping Tiger (£7.95) which is chargrilled tenderloin of beef or lamb with a spicy Thai chilli dipping sauce. Or how about a Golden Bag (£3.95) which is minced prawn mixed with chicken or vegetable flavoured with garlic and golden deep fried in rice paper parcels and served with plum sauce.
As for mains, the grilled sea bass wrapped in banana leaf with chilli sauce (£10.95) sounds outstanding. There is also a Panang curry (£7.95) which is a choice of meat cooked with coconut cream, lime leaf and red chilli.
With any of the mains you have a choice of meat – chicken, pork, beef and sometimes lamb or seafood.
So, it's far more than just a kitchen. The Oriental Kitchen is a restaurant through and through.

Soz's claim a cheap gimmick to sell book: Congress
New Delhi: Terming it a "cheap gimmick" to sell a book, Congress on Friday rejected party leader Saifuddin Soz's claim that former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was right in saying Kashmiris will prefer to be independent, saying Jammu and Kashmir is and will remain an "integral part of India".
Telling reporters that he had seen Soz's statement, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said: "I have not seen the contents of the book but let me say if the contents as reported are correct, Congress Party and every rightful citizen of India rejects such content as a gimmick to sell a book that is yet to come into the market."
"This is incontrovertible, unquestionable truth that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and will always remain so.
"Many people will make many statements either to sell books or to gain cheap publicity through friends in the media," he added.
The former Union Minister in his forthcoming book "Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle" claimed that Gen Musharraf's assessment that Kashmiris will "prefer to be independent" if they are given a chance to "exercise their free will" seems to be "correct even today".
"He (Musharraf) had also convinced his colleagues that the resolutions of the UN on Kashmir had constituted a redundant situation as these meant a tight-jacket for Kashmiris whether they wanted to go with India or to Pakistan.
"Musharraf had explained that if Kashmiris were given a chance to exercise their free will, they would prefer to be independent," Soz wrote in the book as reported by The Indian Express.
Surjewala also sought that the agenda not be diverted "based on a stray statement made by some individual which we reject in toto" and that the party's Jammu and Kashmir unit will take appropriate action on the issue.

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany recognizes a Holocaust survivor as an individual who was persecuted as a Jew in Germany, Austria, or any other country occupied by the Nazis or their Axis allies between the years of 1933-1945, including Jews who emigrated from those countries after the persecution began and before liberation of that specific country, in addition to suffering recognized persecution. (Please contact Jewish Family Service or the Claims Conference for further details).
Our services are available for all Jewish Holocaust survivors, but receiving some of the services for free may be limited to financially and/or physically vulnerable Jewish Nazi victims.
Jewish Family Service programs and services for older adults, including Holocaust survivors, receive funding in part from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, The Jewish Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, The Bahmann Foundation, and Jewish Federations of North America. It is a member agency of the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies.
Zarya Keller, 81, is staying connected to family and friends in Cincinnati and around the world thanks to a new iPad tablet she received from Jewish Family Service. Her tablet was purchased through a technology grant Jewish Family Service received from the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA).
The $60,000 grant was awarded to help Cincinnati's Jewish Holocaust survivors reduce isolation by staying connected to community. Jewish Family Service Cincinnati was one of only 23 organizations to receive this funding through the JFNA's Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care.
"Zarya no longer drives, which creates isolation. Phone calls of course helped her stay in touch with others, but being able to communicate visually through video chat on her iPad greatly enhanced the personal experience. Seeing the faces and smiles of family and friends is making her happier," said Elena Itenberg, Technology Program Specialist with Jewish Family Service Center for Holocaust Survivors.
Volunteers worked closely with the first group of ten survivors who received the iPads to help them feel comfortable with the technology that was very new to them. With the training, Zarya has been using Skype on her tablet to video chat with friends in Cincinnati, her daughter who lives out of state, and family and friends in Israel.
All participants in this program have reported an increased level of happiness when a survey was taken after a month of tablet use. The survey also showed that the ten participants more than doubled their hours communicating with family and friends. In addition to using video chat, the tablets let them connect with others through email. Only three participants had ever used email prior to receiving the iPads, two of which had sent just one email each. Afterward, however, email was frequently used by all participants.
Jewish Family Service's Tablets and Technology: Alleviating Isolation in Holocaust Survivors program is now training a second group so they too can stay connected to the community and reap the benefits of this initiative.
Jewish Family Service programs and services for Holocaust survivors and older adults receive additional funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, The Jewish Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, and The Bahmann Foundation. It is a member agency of the Association of Jewish Family & Children's Agencies.

Cincinnati's Jewish Holocaust survivors will receive groundbreaking care to reduce isolation thanks to a $60,000 grant Jewish Family Service Cincinnati received from the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). When combined with matching funds, this award will enable $80,000 in new programming for survivors.
Jewish Family Service Cincinnati is one of only 23 organizations to receive this funding through the JFNA's Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care, which was recently launched following an award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for up to $12 million over 5 years to advance innovations in person-centered, trauma-informed services for Holocaust survivors in the United States.
These grants mark the first time in history that the United States federal government has provided direct funding for Holocaust survivor services. Of the more than 100,000 Holocaust survivors in the United States, nearly one quarter are aged eighty-five or older, and one in four lives in poverty. Many live alone and are at risk for social isolation, depression, and other physical and mental health conditions stemming from periods of starvation, disease and torture in their youth.
Person-centered, trauma-informed services (PCTI) care is a holistic approach to service provision that promotes the dignity, strength, and empowerment of trauma victims by incorporating knowledge about the role of trauma in victims' lives into agency programs, policies and procedures.
Jewish Family Service Cincinnati will use the grant to teach Russian- and English-speaking Holocaust survivors, many of whom live below 150% of the federal poverty line, how to use a variety of tablet-based programs to stay connected to friends and family.
"Jewish Family Service will draw on its knowledge and history of providing PCTI care to pilot and implement its program, Tablets and Technology: Alleviating Isolation in Holocaust Survivors," says Gail Ziegler, LISW-S, Senior Manager of Jewish Family Service's Center for Holocaust Survivors. "Our trauma-informed program will ensure that survivors stay connected to the community, while also respecting their need for independence by teaching them how to communicate and interact with the world electronically."
The Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care promotes these innovative service delivery models together with the expertise of partner organizations including the Association of Jewish Family & Children's Agencies and the Claims Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. The grant money is a combination of federal dollars and philanthropic dollars raised by Jewish Federations as part of JFNA's National Holocaust Survivor Initiative, which seeks to raise $45 million to support the Survivor community.
Jewish Family Service programs and services for Holocaust survivors and older adults receive additional funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, The Jewish Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, and The Bahmann Foundation. It is a member agency of the Association of Jewish Family & Children's Agencies.

Elderly Jewish Holocaust victims in the Cincinnati area, the last of their generation to have endured the horrors of the Nazi genocide, will receive significantly more aid in 2015, announced Julius Berman, President of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference).
In 2015, the Claims Conference allocation to Jewish Family Service of Greater Cincinnati will be $1.2 million, an increase of about $718,000 (145 percent) over 2014 funding, with most of the increase earmarked for homecare, the top social welfare priority for these survivors. Learn more.
Smiling guests celebrated Hanukkah December 18, 2014 when Jewish Family Service Center for Holocaust Survivors organized the annual luncheon at Adath Israel Congregation. In the company of close friends, participants enjoyed live music, dancing, a raffle, and a buffet lunch. Holocaust Survivor Ruth Levine and her daughter Sandy Levine lit the Hanukkah candles with Gail Ziegler, Senior Manager of the Center for Holocaust Survivors. The celebration was one of many activities offered by the Friendship Club to survivors in the Cincinnati area. The Friendship Club meets regularly and is open to all Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The Hanukkah party was made possible by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims, Inc.

In the Spring of 2013, students from Cincinnati Sycamore High School met with members of the Holocaust Survivor's group run by Jewish Family Service of Cincinnati to reflect on life in images and words.
The group produced images on a weekly basis using a variety of experiments including photography shadows, passageways, working with natural and artificial lighting and trying different ways of framing subjects. Subject matter was drawn from an array of daily experience including, home, family, friends, events, shopping trips and a few more daring adventures.
Images were shared on a weekly basis and conversations about issues such as national identity, generations and personal experience were recorded. The program culminated with each participant creating portraits of the other members of their small group.
The exhibit includes select images and transcripts of the recordings produced during the program. The final collection of work reflects the shared wisdom and experience of each of the two very different generations participating in this project. It underlines not only the need to preserve the unique perspectives of those who persevered one of the cruelest episodes in history, but also the need to share this experience with younger generations.
Thank you to David Rosenthal and Prairie Inc. for leading this program. And thank you also to Paul Bochtler, Jewish Family Service's ARSP volunteer from Germany, who first had the vision and determination to put cameras into the hands of Holocaust Survivors as a way to encourage conversation and socialization…which led to his connecting with David.

Was it possible for her to switch hands (i.e. the hand that is using Cheun Jen Sword Technique would switch to Jade Maiden Sword Technique, and vice-versa) in midcombat?

Disney 'Moms Panel' Also Has Dads
Walt Disney World
In the 2011 "class," as Disney calls it, of the 15 panelists chosen from out of 20,000 applicants, two men joined the elite group, which answers questions posed by potential visitors on an online forum.
Angelo Alomar, from Simpsonville, S.C., tells AOL Travel News, that he had been thinking about applying for more than two years and was so superstitious about the process that he didn't tell anyone, not even his family, when he finally did last September.
"If I didn't get it, I didn't want to disappoint anyone," said Alomar, who has a 10-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.
Considering all the interest that the panel generates, he had cause to worry.
"Our Moms Panel has significantly grown since its launch in 2008 and has successfully tripled in traffic and size," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "This year's Moms Panel search generated the most applications we have ever received," said Crofton.
Alomar managed to keep the secret through the three rounds of the application, he told AOL Travel News, which included answering essay questions, putting together a video submission and doing a phone interview.
"I'm a Disney freak," said Alomar, who was convinced he wouldn't get in, and still tears up when he talks about the phone call late last year confirming his inclusion that "completely changed my life."
Alomar's duties, which began earlier this year, include answering 25 questions a week on the forum. His compensation, like all panelists, is a week's vacation at a Disney park with his family, but that doesn't seem to be Alomar's reason for applying.
"It's not about myself," Alomar said. "Helping people with Disney takes a little bit of stress out of my life. I will treasure this for the rest of my life."
The panelists, which include 30 alumni, are a mix of moms, dads and grandparents considered experts on planning Disney vacations. They offer their own tips and insights for navigating the parks. Oscar-winning actress and mom of three, Geena Davis, serves as an honorary guest panelist.

As you know, this week is the London Collections: Men, a menswear event created by the British Fashion Council. But, what separates this from other menswear centric events is the digital experience.
While the event is all about designers revealing their AW 2013 collections, the British Fashion Council as well as many independent houses want to focus more on the consumers and what they can take away from the event. With many digital campaigns like web-based initiatives, social media platforms and at-home viewing, they plan to allow a more up close and personal look into the world of men's fashion.
There will be no way to miss out on the event, livestreams are available for viewing on computers, tablets and smartphones. Eleven designers are also planning to live-stream their shows, which is quite the jump from the nine designers from the previous year. Show footage will also be made available on the BFC's microsite for the men's collections. If you missed the start yesterday, the adventure-driven designs from Belstaff opened the three day event.
By having multiple ways to catch the show through mobile, online and in person it's an event that you don't want to miss. But what designers should you look out for? Well, we have a few designers in mind. Some of our favorites include: Margaret Howell, Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
The menswear digital extravaganza will finish off with A GQ London Collections: Men Dinner hosted by Sir Paul Smith, Tinie Tempah and Chair of London Collections: Men Dylan Jones. It will then be followed by a rockin closing party hosted by none other than the iconic designer, Tom Ford. While the London Collections: Men has brought a very futuristic flare to fashion, we can't wait to see what's up next for other fashion events.
What do you think of the London Collections: Men's use of social media? Tweet us @FASHIONOTES!

When Matt & Theresa got there they told us that they just got their tickets for the quarterfinals. What?! Apparently they were selling them at the ticket windows. So Jamie went back out to get our tickets.
While she was up, she noticed the table just inside the door where they were also selling tickets for the semifinals at Blue Cross Arena. We've been desperately waiting for them to have that table there again because it would cost us $20 in fees to get them from Ticketbastard. But she didn't have enough cash to get BOTH the quarterfinals and semifinals tickets, so she had to go to an ATM elsewhere on campus (fortunately able to stay in the tunnels since it was snowing pretty heavily tonight) and come back to buy the semifinals tickets.
THEN, during one of the breaks between periods, one of the senior Corner Crew members announced that he had a bunch of free tickets to tomorrow's game for anyone who wanted them, so we got those too!
So now we're all set for tickets for the rest of the regular season as well as the playoffs... Except for the possible 3rd game of the best-of-three quarterfinals, which hopefully we won't need to play, but if we do the tickets won't be for sale until the prior evening anyway.
Go RIT!

William Ralph Turner was the last of the great Northern Industrial painters, who was prominent and successful in the 1960s and 1970s, fell into obscurity for many years before a spectacular renaissance in the 2000s.
His paintings escape easy categorisation, but at the time of his first one-man retrospective, held in a Greater Manchester public gallery in 2005, the curator described him "as one of a very small number of English artists to fully engage with European expressionist art." The influences of, amongst others, Vlaminck and Rouault can be clearly seen, and artist Brian Bradshaw has commented that Turner's buildings "sway, bend and twist with serpentine character".
His vision of the industrialised north, and the people shaped by it, was entirely his own - he was no copyist, but he had an artistic magpie tendency and borrowed motifs from other prominent painters, most notably Lowry. One of Turner's most individual qualities has been the ability to paint Manchester's most drab industrial area with a palette and handling of pigment associated with Europe, not the atmosphere, light or visual incidents of the northern industrial scene.

Reports of cyber attacks and malware are probably flooding your news feeds in the last few weeks, but this kind of threat to data security isn't new, and veterinary practices are just as vulnerable as the next business.
In summer 2017, two large-scale cyber attacks made world news, both using different types of malicious software or 'malware'. In May, WannaCry ransomware lit up headlines as it kidnapped data from nearly half a million devices worldwide, holding entire businesses hostage. Just a month later, NotPetya hit, crippling companies of all sizes across the globe.
And as the affected businesses have learned in recent months, dealing with a cyber attack isn't quite so simple as just paying the ransom and getting your files back.
So what's a vet practice to do in these times of cyber insecurity? The best approach is a preventative one: know what the risks are at your vet clinic, and be prepared to deal with them.
Is my veterinary practice safe from cyber attacks?
According to many experts, hospitals and other businesses that handle health information are especially vulnerable to cyber attacks. And the fact that veterinary clinics don't handle human health data doesn't give them immunity: there have also been cases of veterinary practice data being held for ransom.
In your practice, you're likely to have multiple devices – from desktop computers and laptops to smart devices. A vulnerability in just one of these not only puts your personal user data at risk, but if your practice management software isn't a cloud-based system, then your practice data may also be vulnerable to malware.
Local server = high risk for cyber attacks
Storing your practice's data on a local server can leave many doors open for cybercriminals.
In a nutshell, practice management software comes in two forms. If your practice runs on a server-based system, all of your computers and other workstations are linked directly to that server. Remember, all it takes is one device on your network to get infected, and all the data on the server is at risk. If the machine hasn't had any updates or maintenance for a while, the chances are that it's vulnerable to more than a few exploits, and needs urgent attention.
Cloud software = increased cybersecurity
The second, more modern type of software stores your practice's data online rather than locally, creating an extra layer of separation between the keyboard under your fingers and the customer and patient information your practice runs on. This kind of software is known as "cloud-based", "web-based" or simply "online" practice management software.
Cloud-based practice management systems store multiple copies and backups of your practice data in data centres, like the Amazon Web Services centre in Frankfurt where Animana stores its data.
This separation isolates your practice data from your local machines, meaning infections cannot be passed from your computer to the secured data centre. Should your computer be infected, you'll be down a workstation, but you can just access your practice management system from another computer, smartphone or tablet and continue with business as usual.
How can I protect my practice against attacks?
Whether you've already made the move to the cloud or not, a few common best practices can go a long way towards keeping your vet practice's data safe.
- Make sure your operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac etc.) is set to automatically update. If you are using an unsupported operating system, such as Windows XP, your chance of being infected is much higher. But that's not the only risk: in recent cyber attacks that have hit the headlines, Windows 7 machines have been the most vulnerable. It's also interesting that the WannaCry and NotPetya exploit was patched and released nearly 60 days before the first outbreak. So don't postpone those updates!
- Ensure you have antivirus software, and that it's up-to-date. If it isn't, check the auto-update settings. If you don't have an antivirus programme, now's the time to get one – we recommend paid solutions such as McAfee AntiVirus or Norton AntiVirus, but there are also some good free products from AVG and Avira. You can refer to a reputable site like PCMag, which has lists of paid and free antivirus software.
- Be careful what you open! Email is one of the main infection methods. Before clicking on links or opening attachments, make sure you recognise the sender; if you don't, just delete the message. Be extremely wary of any Microsoft Office files which advise you to use "macros". Unless you are sure that this is a genuine email from a trusted source, do not enable macros and instead immediately delete the file.
- Have a good backup system. Back up your important data daily and keep all versions for at least one month. You should also ensure that backups are appropriately protected or stored offline so that attackers can't delete them. These days, cloud backup solutions are a very cost-effective, reliable, and super-easy way to automate backups. For example, Crashplan, and Backblaze, are two excellent services. You could also install a "shared folder" solution such as Google Drive or Amazon Drive for all practice files – these solutions provide an easy way to have one folder synchronised across all computers, and provide a limited backup solution.
What should I do if my computer is infected?
Every attack is different, but here are a few steps you can take if you suspect an infection:
- Disconnect your computer from your network/Wifi, and remove any external drives or USB keys (this will minimise the spread of the infection).
- Stop using the computer, and do not reboot your system (shortly after the WannaCry outbreak, decryption tools were released which could recover data – but only if you hadn't rebooted).
- Contact your IT specialist immediately.
- If you do not have an IT specialist, from an uninfected device, carefully review advice from trusted websites such as Avast, Kaspersky.com, and Nomoreransom.org.
Keeping your vet practice safe in the long-term
Regardless of what type of software you have, there's never been a more important time to ensure that all devices attached to your network are updated, and set to auto-update.
But that in itself isn't enough to ensure the safety of your practice's data, your customers' privacy, and the lifeblood of your business.
That's one of the reasons why more and more businesses are moving to the cloud to fortify their cyber security. In the increasingly data-driven future of the veterinary industry, the extra layers of security added by a cloud-based system are a must-have.
Curious about the security and other benefits of working with modern cloud-based practice management software like Animana? Subscribe to our newsletter to learn more about working in the cloud, as well as to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in veterinary practice management.

Gearing Up
What to take for your day on the water
Walk into any fly shop, and the quantity, diversity, and variations—not to mention price tags—of fishing gear can be overwhelming. Luckily it's not all essential to having fun or catching fish. A good all-around setup will keep you casting and catching all season, without breaking the bank or needing a river Sherpa to carry it all. Here's what we recommend.
Essential Gear
A good 9-foot, 5-weight, fast-action rod should handle everything from dry flies to nymphs and streamers; match it up with a 5-weight reel and a WF5 (weight-forward 5-weight) fly line. A 9-foot 5X leader and a range of tippet material, from 2x-6x, should accommodate most of the scenarios you'll encounter on the water. Organize your flies in a fly box or sleeve. Bring nippers for trimming line, floatant to keep your dry flies on top of the water, and pliers or forceps for removing hooks. A simple pack or vest keeps all this gear consolidated and accessible.
Recommended Accessories
For much of the year, waders and boots are essential, but during the warm summer months, wet-wading is fine. (Be sure to use a wading belt so your waders don't fill up if you fall in.) Polarized sunglasses reduce glare and help you see fish underwater, and a net makes landing fish easier for you and safer for them. Strike indicators and split-shot are important when nymphing, and some kind of light keeps you in the game when the fish keep rising after sundown. A hat protects your face and improves vision on sunny days, while a raincoat keeps you dry during those late-afternoon thundershowers. Sunscreen and insect repellant are staples for any summer outing in Montana. A carry bag is nice for hauling all your clothing and equipment to and from the vehicle. And there's no better culmination to a long day on the water than a frosty cold one sipped on the bank of the river, while you swap stories and plan your next excursion.

I wish I was really able to recall all the important aspects of 2009, but to be honest, I'm pretty bad at that sort of thing. So, here's what I can remember, in no particular order:
1. I finished my education career, graduating with my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology
2. I gained employment at a middle school in the suburbs (before even graduating, I might add!)
3. I moved from the safety (read: familiarity) of the Quad Cities to the Chicago suburbs.
4. I lived on my own (truly on my own) for the first time ever (for a whopping 3 months…)
5. I maintained (+/- 5 pounds) my 30 pound weight loss for a full year.
Hmm….. Yep. I think that's all of the major changes from this year…. Can't think of anything else…. 😉
Oh yeah…
I got married. 🙂

"Pretty Much Dead Already" is an important episode. Not only is it the midseason finale (yay cliffhangers!), but it's also the line in the sand between Frank Darabont and Glen Mazzara as head honcho of The Walking Dead. This season has had some high points, low points, and points hovering somewhere just below middling, so I, for one, hope the change in leadership will bring about a tighter ship. Or at the very least finally settle on being adequate and run with it. We won't get a real feel for Mazzara's techniques until next year, but fortunately for Darabont, "Pretty Much Dead Already" made for a high note to bow out on.
For the first 45 minutes, this episode was more or less rank and file with the rest of the season: a few sparkles of greatness, some head-scratchingly stupid moves, and a whole heckuva lot prime cut bullhockey. Dale, Andrea, Daryl, Carol, Glenn, and Maggie are stuck in school grade romances where you always hurt the one you love, Shane is out to prove he's the biggest, toughest, meanest meanie on the playground, and Rick wants to be the bestest 8th grade class president evar. Oh, and T-Dog and the other Hershel hangers on were doing stuff over there or whatever.
Before I get to the really good stuff, that scene with Daryl and Carol in the stables really sticks in my craw. I get that Carol might come to a point where she realizes she may never find her child (or find her alive), but I don't buy two things about that scene in the stable:
1.) It's only been, like, a week, two at the most, since Sophia went poof. The Carol that has been established wouldn't have shrugged and said "oh, well" after such a short amount of time. No good mother would.
2.) Worse, to have her trade her missing daughter for a dude? Oh, Daryl, it's fine that my only child might never be found again, but you're here so that's cool. Makeouts? Truthfully, I think the timing and the structure of the conversation conveyed something the writers weren't intending. Much like Dale's confrontation with Shane last week (and this week in the swamp) that made him come off like a busybody jealous boyfriend rather than someone concerned about the loose cannon with a gun, I don't think the writers realized what they were doing with Carol and Daryl. What was (probably…hopefully?) supposed to be a scene that established romantic tension and pragmatic acceptance of a painful scenario came off as Carol ready to ditch Sophia for Daryl. This made Daryl's reaction seem less like someone upset about people giving up on a lost cause (because he was a lost cause once and there was no one there to look out for him, says your Psychology 101 professor) and more like he was pissed over her sexual overtures.
Okay, rant over. On to more entertaining topics. There's a lot to unpack about this episode, almost all of it falling in the third act. "Dead Already" resolved Glenn and Maggie's spat over the barn walkers in such a way that it felt like a real couple's argument and not just a case of a bitter single woman nagging her sex-stud boyfriend. They had a problem, they discussed it, they came to an agreeable compromise, and then they stuck to it. Glenn looking back at Maggie before joining in on the gunfight wasn't "Mommy can I have a cookie?" but "I need to do this and are you okay with it?" And she was, because she's the only smart person on the show. The writers have set Rick up to be the straight man, but Maggie's got that role locked down. I really hope that if/when they leave Hershel's farm Maggie goes with. She's too great a character (and Lauren Cohan is too great an actress) to ditch after a handful of episodes.
Then there's Lori's fear about being pregnant in a world where that makes her a supersized happy meal to a hungry walker, compounded with Rick's panic over the very real possibility that he could lose his wife and unborn child if they're forced out of Hershel's idyll, and divided by Shane's mounting instability. He's been acting a fool ever since murdering Otis but the more he keeps pushing the ethical envelope the easier it gets. As long as he can keep justifying slaughtering a shuffle of zombies—which he's only doing as a slap to Rick's face, not out of any real sense of protection or concern—he can keep tinkering with his moral compass and not feel guilty. Berenthal's treading on some moustache-twirling villainy, but for the most part he pulled it off.
We've also got Hershel's steadfast insistence that the undead are really just people with a bad case of the sicks, and the look on his face as he watched all that explode in a hail of bullets and decaying guts was wrenching. Rick is right, Hershel's ignorance of the realities of the zombie apocalypse made him make an incredibly stupid, risky, and dangerous decision to keep them in lockup. The walkers would have escaped eventually, and without weapons Hershel and co. would quickly be overrun. Rick would have never been able to convince him to take out the walkers anymore than you could convince me to execute my neighbors because you don't like the way they park their cars.
Rick has kept his zombie killing to the bare minimum. He's still uncomfortable with the whole thing, though he's willing to do what needs to be done. Lori's recognition of that is why she is so against Carl having a gun. He's not old enough to have the life experience he needs to keep killing zombies and still have a conscience about it. She's—rightfully—afraid of his becoming too casual about it, of having death and killing become routine, of him turning into Shane. That's why she tells Shane even if it is his baby (a probability I don't think Rick's thought through yet) it will never truly be his. As the show kept saying, Rick isn't built for this world and Shane fits too neatly in it. And while the latter significantly increases your chance of survival, the former allows you to keep your humanity intact.
And then there's Sophia. If the writers would spend even half the energy on character development that they do on big moments like Rick putting Sophia out of her misery I could put my Negative Nelly hat to better use on Terra Nova and American Horror Story. Because that was a truly great moment in the show's history. I've long suspected Sophia was toast and that it was just a matter of time before we found her moaning about brains (in Woodbury perhaps?). But her being part of Hershel's petting zoo was unexpected. (I guess I should have been more prepared, after all AMC showed Rick shooting the little girl from the gas station in the preview wink wink nudge nudge.) The only things that detracted from the scene were Rick screaming at Hershel to take the pole (what, no one else was physically capable of holding a dead dude on a stick except an ex-cop and an old man?) and Shane's peacock posturing and caveman chest-beating (yes, we get it, you're upset, but please, dude, take a chill pill). But the good bits outweighed the heavy-handedness of the rest of the scene.
For a show that manhandles subtlety as often as it does, it was a nice touch to give all of Shane's supporters guns and turn them into a mini army against the walkers. Better still, they've spent all of their free time hunting for Sophia and talking about how they should just abandon her because she's probably dead, well, that came back to bite them on the ass when she strolled out of that barn. It's one thing to talk about eventualities, it's a whole 'nother thing to be hit over the head with them.
In the end it came down to Rick. It always comes down to Rick. Through all of Shane's grousing, Andrea's harping, Dale's backbiting, Glenn and Maggie's face sucking, Lori's whinging, Carol's whimpering, Daryl's ass kicking badassery, and T-Dog's T-Dogging, Rick remains above it. A good leader doesn't have to march around in military dress shouting commands and looking impressive (notice how Rick's stopped wearing his uniform and Shane's wearing pseudo army duds?). A good leader is diplomatic, compassionate, can compromise for the good of the group, and can guide the followers without making them feel like they don't have a choice. A good leader makes the hard decisions, takes the bullet, and does the dirtiest work in order to maintain the group. Shane may be hopping all over his moral lines in the sand, but killing a little girl isn't something he's ready for. None of them are, not even Rick. But Shane and Hershel got them into this mess and someone's got to get them out of it. Sophia had to be put down, and Rick was the only one brave enough to do it. And now he has to carry that with him for the rest of his life.
Well, folks, that's it until February 2012. What'd you think? Did the finale restore your faith in the show or shore up your criticisms? I'd also love to hear your theories about come what may in the comments section—just remember, if you're dragging in stuff from the comics, please preface it with a big 'ole SPOILERS tag so we don't ruin things for the virgins. So, conspiracists and fans, where do you think The Walking Dead is headed? In the meantime, I'll leave you with my newest favorite behind the scenes photo ever taken. See ya'll in a few months!
Final Thoughts
- "Hey, where'd you go?" "I'm here."
- "How many times has Rick saved your life?" Good job, Shane. Women love it when men keep score against each other.
- "At least I can say when this world went to shit I didn't let it take me down." "Fair enough."
- "I forgot that they're dangerous."
- "I wanna take Norman Reedus behind the middle school and get him pregnant"
- Shane, haven't you ever heard the phrase "don't poke the bear in the zoo"? That applies to cannibalistic corpses, too.
- Lori still has Carl doing homework. +10 mom points.
- It's a shame when a 10 year old has a better moral compass than a 30-something year old man.
- If the Emmys had a scenery chewing award, Jon Berenthal would win hands down.
- So you mean to tell me that Hershel's had to listen to them talk about a missing little girl all this time and he's had her in his barn and didn't say anything? Nope, not cool, man, not cool.

text: Megyn Kelly and Paula Faris Books Kim Davis Sit-Downs 10:52 AM PDT 9/21/2015 by Michael O'Connell FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Fox News The briefly jailed Kentucky clerk isn't granting marriage licenses — but she is granting interviews. After spending nearly a month in the public eye, Kim Davis has agreed to her first formal interviews. The divisive Kentucky county clerk will appear on the Sept. 22 episode of ABC's Good Morning America and the Sept. 23 episode of Fox News Channel's The Kelly File. ABC News will tease its Kentucky visit between Paula Faris and Davis on Monday's World News Tonight, while Megyn Kelly will interview Davis from her New York studio. She'll question Davis on whether or not she not she disobeyed a federal judge's order regarding altering the marriage license forms of same-sex couples. Davis achieved instant celebrity earlier in September, several months after the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of gay marriage prompted her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on account of her religious beliefs. She was held in contempt of court in September, spending five days in jail. The time since has seen her become a lightening rod for Republican presidential candidates — even figuring into one question during CNN's recent debate. Faris recently upped her ABC News workload, joining the panel of the ever-evolving The View. And for Kelly, it's another booking coup in what's proving to be a banner year. The Kelly File host, who enjoyed a month atop the cable news ratings heap in August after her showing in the first GOP debate, previously got an exclusive with reality stars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar when allegations about their adult son's sexual misconduct came to light. That sit-down earned Kelly 3.1 million viewers. Davis, who has not been shy about giving press conferences, has yet to speak at length with any national news organization. Sept. 21, 11:50 a.m. Updated with additional details to reflect Davis' multiple bookings, including her appearance on ABC News.

To be distinguished from spectrum in the sense of stable homotopy theory, see at spectrum - disambiguation.
In geometry, a spectrum is a geometric space constructed from some algebraic, category-theoretic, analytic or similar data which typically do not have an obvious/manifest geometric meaning.
Examples are
the Gelfand spectrum of a -algebra,
the Grothendieck spectrum of a commutative ring,
the formal spectrum of a complete noetherian commutative ring,
the primitive spectrum of a noncommutative (but unital) ring,
the left spectrum of a noncommutative ring,
Rosenberg's spectrum of an abelian category,
Gabriel's spectrum of indecomposable injectives,
the Pierce spectrum,
the Berkovich spectrum in rigid analytic geometry,
One sometimes says "spectrum" also for the underlying sets of such geometric spectra.
A spectrum does not necessarily give a faithful representation of the original data. For example, the Gelfand spectrum of a -algebra is sufficient for reconstructing the -algebra if we restrict to commutative -algebras (Gelfand–Neimark reconstruction theorem), but is not a sufficient invariant if we consider all -algebras.
The word 'spectrum' in this setup originates from the fact that the spectrum of a commutative Banach algebra is a natural extension of the theory of a spectrum of a family of commuting self-adjoint operators, which is in turn the generalization of the spectral theory of one self-adjoint operator. See also spectrum of a Banach algebra?. The spectrum of an operator corresponds in quantum (and classical!) mechanics to frequencies of vibrations and waves, hence in optics to color. Newton experimentally observed the spectrum from white light passing through a prism, and with a surprise he considered it at first as a ghost like object, hence he named it after a Latin word for ghost or spirit (see also Wikipedia).
