A significant bet that robots in the future will work directly with humans in the workplace
If you grab the hand of a two-armed robot named Baxter, it will turn its head and a pair of cartoon eyes — displayed on a tablet-size computer-screen "face" — will peer at you with interest.
The sensation that Baxter conveys is not creepy, but benign, perhaps even disarmingly friendly. And that is intentional.
Baxter, the first product of Rethink Robotics, an ambitious start-up company in a revived manufacturing district here, is a significant bet that robots in the future will work directly with humans in the workplace.
That is a marked shift from today's machines, which are kept safely isolated from humans, either inside glass cages or behind laser-controlled "light curtains," because they move with Terminator-like speed and accuracy and could flatten any human they encountered.
By contrast, Baxter, which comes encased in plastic and has a nine-foot "wingspan," is relatively slow and imprecise in the way it moves. And it has an elaborate array of safety mechanisms and sensors to protect the human workers it assists.
Here in a brick factory that was once one of the first electrified manufacturing sites in New England, Rodney A. Brooks, the legendary roboticist who is Rethink's founder, proves its safety by placing his head in the path of Baxter's arm while it moves objects on an assembly line.
The arm senses his head and abruptly stops moving with a soft clunk. Dr. Brooks, unfazed, points out that the arm is what roboticists call "compliant": intended to sense unexpected obstacles and adjust itself accordingly.
The $22,000 robot that Rethink will begin selling in October is the clearest evidence yet that robotics is more than a laboratory curiosity or a tool only for large companies with vast amounts of capital. The company is betting it can broaden the market for robots by selling an inexpensive machine that can collaborate with human workers, the way the computer industry took off in the 1980s when the prices of PCs fell sharply and people without programming experience could start using them right out of the box.
"It feels like a true Macintosh moment for the robot world," said Tony Fadell, the former Apple executive who oversaw the development of the iPod and the iPhone.
Baxter will come equipped with a library of simple tasks, or behaviors — for example, a "common sense" capability to recognize it must have an object in its hand before it can move and release it.
Although it will be possible to program Baxter, the Rethink designers avoid the term. Instead they talk about "training by demonstration." For example, to pick up an object and move it, a human will instruct the robot by physically moving its arm and making it grab the object.
The robot's redundant layers of safety mechanisms include a crown of sonar sensors ringing its head that automatically slows its movements whenever a human approaches. Its computer-screen face turns red to let workers know that it is aware of their presence.

Did you catch that switcheroo in the title of this post? Usually, it's "love thy neighbor as thyself."
But in our society, we tend to reverse that. We find it easier to be compassionate toward others than toward ourselves.
Being nice to others is a good thing, right? Yes, but it begs the question: Why can't we be nicer to ourselves?
That Inner Critic
You know that chirping little critic you hear inside your head sometimes? Most of us have one. It's that voice that says,
"You'll never be good enough."
"Why even try? You know you can't do it."
"You're such a hypocrite (loser, slob, dimwit, etc.)"
Kristin Neff, author of Self-Compassion and a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, says this voice probably developed as a means to keep us safe, a basic need that we all have.
Also, she posits that we may think we need this voice to keep us motivated. After all, wouldn't we just be completely out of control if we didn't talk to ourselves this way?
You know the answer to that. We don't need that inner critic to keep us in line.
Would you say that to a friend?
Neff's work has found that people who are self-compassionate – who are kind to themselves – are less depressed, more confident, and able to bounce back from adversity more easily than people who are not compassionate with themselves.
Listening to our inner critic is definitely not being self-compassionate. It's really the opposite – more a way to beat ourselves up.
So, ask yourself this question: Would I speak to my best friend like that?
I'd wager that you wouldn't. I think, if your friend was struggling with a problem in her life, that you'd be right there for her, telling her it will be okay and empathizing about how hard this must be for her.
Can you do this for yourself?
In order to increase your resiliency and develop a healthy sense of well-being, it's time you learned how to be compassionate toward yourself.
Being self-compassionate
Neff suggests that there are three components of self-compassion.
1. Being kind to yourself
When you're in a tough situation and find your inner critic taking you for a rough three rounds, retreat to your corner and ask yourself, "What would I say to my friend in this situation?"
Say those same things to yourself.
Go ahead. It's okay.
"Wow, this is a really hard situation I'm in right now. It sucks, but I know I can make it through. Anyone would be having a hard time when faced with something like this."
Neff also advocates using a personal mantra for allowing yourself compassion. The one she uses is:
This is a moment of suffering
Suffering is a part of life
May I be kind to myself
May I show myself the compassion I need.
I have adopted this mantra as well except I have replaced the last line with:
May I accept myself completely as I am.
Use this one or develop your own words to form a self-compassion mantra. Practice it frequently, so when you're in the throes of a crisis, you can easily recite it to yourself.
Finally, Neff suggests that physically showing kindness to yourself can generate self-compassion.
When you are feeling a painful emotion, sit still for a bit and try to locate it in your body. Then put your hand on that place and recite your mantra.
Or, put both hands over your heart and repeat your mantra or speak to yourself as you would your friend.
This kind of self-soothing releases oxytocins in the body and helps you to feel comfort and respite from your struggles.
2. Common humanity
Many times when we are experiencing adversity, we feel like we're the only ones going through something like this. This kind of thinking leaves us feeling isolated and alone.
Instead, remember that most of what we feel and think and how we behave is a part of our common humanity. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone gets embarrassed. Everyone struggles at times.
The next time you find yourself starting to feel isolated and alone because of emotional pain, remember that you are a part of a greater, common humanity. You're not alone – you're in good company of many people who understand what you are experiencing.
3. Mindfulness
Neff says, "To give ourselves compassion, we first have to recognize that we are suffering. We can't heal what we can't feel." (Self-compassion, p. 80.)
We are used to turning away from our own pain, but self-compassion requires us to stop and recognize the emotional state we are in. That is when the healing begins.
Mindfulness allows us the space to see clearly what is going on rather than getting caught up in our personal drama. As Neff notes, "Mindfulness provides us with the opportunity to respond rather than simply react." (p. 90)
Of course, the best way to learn to be mindful is to take a few minutes of meditation each day. And this doesn't have to be a sitting meditation. You can take a walk outside and keep your awareness to what you see and hear around you. When you feel your thoughts straying, just withhold judgment and return to observing.
Kristin Neff has many free guided meditations on her website www.self-compassion.org.
To close, let me just end with a loving-kindness meditation you can use that will increase your compassion for yourself and others. You can say it for yourself, for you and a loved one, or for someone else.
May I/we/you be safe
May I/we/you be peaceful
May I/we/you be healthy
May I/we/you live at ease.
Compassion isn't just for others.
Love thyself.

Dogs Guard Babies Against Infection, Study Finds

i nailed the cd last weekend and instantly hooked up by its gameplay.
this is the latest version of the 10 out of 10 rated soccer game. with more licensed player and additional licensed club as well.
more realistic movement. more attacking gameplay. those free player are now prefer to run into a space and seek for a pass, and you can take on the defender quite easily. while on the previous version goals are easier from outside the box, now shooting from way out is more tricky, take the volley from 30 yard as an example.
the refereeing is now improved, no more frustration over the fussy refereeing that you've often found in previous version, where a slight challenge you made can easily being judge as a foul and resulting a free kick. back then, i curse a hell lot more often every time the bloody ref blows his whistle… and those opposition player sure know hot to take a free kick aren't they? hahahaha
when i played this game last night, i laugh my ass off when i heard trevor brooking shouts "goal!!" and peter brackley instantly replies "hey? what are you doing? it was supposed to be my job?". the dynamic duo are still in the game!
so, all in all. it's great game and worth to buy.

*DISCLAIMER! All rankings are based on 3 major factors. 1. I actually have to like the album. Nothing is included because it's on everyone else's list or because I think it would make my list look better. 2. I
can listen to it no matter what I am in the mood for. 3. Overall play count/I actually paid money for it. Remember, this is my opinion. It's not overly analytical. Most, if not all, rankings are VERY fluid.
Don't get your panties in a bunch because your favourite band is lower than "that fucking piece of shit band!"*
#40: haarp - The Filth (USA, Housecore): Filthy, slow and heavy as shit. A grizzly bear is dragged out of hibernation and forced against his will to party like Marilyn Manson at Mardi Gras. *The Filth* sounds like the morning after. The production could use some work but the album leaves me feeling exhausted and relieved. Just listening to it gets out all the anger and tension. It very cathartic. Standout track: "Plurimus Humilus, Ciacco"
#39. Cancer Bats - Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones (CAN, Distort): The first Canadian act on the list. These Torontonians continue to deliver their own flavour of Southern-fried hardcore. It's not much different (or better) than previous effort, Hail, Destroyer but why ruin a good thing? B,M,S & B is loaded with catchy riffs and scream/sing along vocals. This is tonnes of fun to listen to and vocalist Liam Cormier might have the most fuct-up hair in metal. Standout track: "Dead Wrong"
#38. Hour of Penance - Paradogma (ITA, Unique Leader): Italy's Hour of Penance shatter any preconception you may have had that Rome is a nice place. Nice places don't breed the kind of brutality on display here. Thisis fucking death metal the way I like it. Fast, brutal, and played with the kind of skill that lets you know these dudes are pro without being a total wankfest. (I'm looking at you Sumerian Records) If I'm in the right mood, this could rank Top 20 easy. I hear HoP just signed to Prosthetic. Hopefully
that means more people will be exposed to this wicked band. Standout track: "A Thousand Christs"
#37. Melechesh - The Epigenesis (NED, Nuclear Blast): Originally from Israel, Melechesh relocated to the Netherlands and I think the move had some influence on the record. Maybe being in Europe pushed them into a more straight ahead black metal album than Emissaries. Yet it still maintains plenty of Middle Eastern influence. Most notably in the cadence and instrumentation. This album could easily rank much higher but I
haven't had much time with it. Standout track: "Defeating the Giants"
#36. Wolvhammer - Black Marketeers of World War III (USA, Init): This is another one that could easily crack my Top 10 depending on my mood and getting the chance to hear it more. Dirty, crusty, thrashy black metal. The debut full length from these Minnesotans is certainly pulling me further into the black metal world. It may not be "troo" but that doesn't matter. It's not isolationist or basement black metal either. I look forward to
hearing lots more Wolvhammer. Standout track: "Snaketongues"
#35. Kataklysm - Heaven's Venom (CAN, Nuclear Blast): This is not being included just to bump up the Canadian content. No, it's because it's awesome. This Montreal outfit consistently releases high quality death
metal. In a crowded Montreal scene, Kataklysm stand as veterans and leaders. They back up their chops with frequent touring and have a tight connection with the fans. They live for this. Standout track: "At The Edge Of The World"
#34. Immolation - Majesty and Decay (USA, Nuclear Blast): Wow. looks like Nuclear Blast is running away with Label Of The Year. At least so far. New York's Immolation have crafted a dark, depressive, evil sounding slab of NYDM on eighth album, Majesty and Decay. It fits the album cover quite nicely actually. It's one of those death metal albums that makes we wish I had long hair so I could circle headbang at breakneck speeds. And look cool doing it. Standout track: "Majesty and Decay"
#33. D.I.S. - Critical Failure (USA, Deep Six): This album will leave you out of breath. From screaming along. Crunchy guitars over punk inspired drums and hardcore vocals featuring members of Phobia,
Impaled, Exhumed and more. How can you go wrong? Well,ya can't. This is music made for moshing. D.I.S. stands for Destroyed In Seconds. That's probably what happens to the club when the whirlwind of
violence erupts in front the stage at their shows. Pure ass-kickery! Standout track: "cf"
#32. The Sword - Warp Riders (USA, Kemado): The Sword tend to get stuck with the label of a "hipster" band. So what? Just because hipsters like them doesn't mean the rest of us can't. They flat out rock. Warp Riders is a sci-fi concept album with at least something to do with space witches. Awesome. With stoner grooves and the catchiest riffs this side of a fishin' pole, the best thing to do is sit back, pack a bowl and cross the void. Standout track: "Tres Brujas"
#31. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis (USA, Season of Mist/Party Smasher): I've never really been a DEP fan. I couldn't really dig the mathcore thing. I never really gave it a fair shot either. I'd hear a song and think "fuck man! It's just too...too...too much!" So by 2010 I had kind of written them off. But when I heard Greg Puciato guest on the Soulfly album I thought I'd give Option Paralysis a shot. Because Puciato is fucking amazing! While DEP is still pretty abstract, Option Paralysis seems a little more accessible than I remember from previous recordings. Plus, Puciato is so dynamic and versatile! Gotta give credit where its due. Standout track: "Gold Teeth on a Bum"

Never done this before but I thought I might start now: reviewing books. I read a lot, and what I've found is that there are so many books out there that don't receive the attention they deserve. So I'm going to play my own very small part in advertising these great authors' names. So here is my very first little review.
5 Stars
I've been having a good run with books lately, and this is the cherry on my ice-cream sundae. Picked up this book by chance in the library. Thrilling, mysterious, page-turning and I did get a couple of chills, particularly at the beginning—very rare for me in a horror. The writing was perfection. The story was set up well. Loved the little sub-plots.
I have a lot of trouble with horror. I love movies but books have generally been subpar. Stephen King does nothing for me—boring as bat***t (That being said, I do love his dramas/thrillers). Never understood why Dean Koontz is so popular (really quite poor). Then I realised after reading this book, why—their work reads almost silly. The Piper has depth their stories lack. Emotion. And that inspires the thrills and chills. When I start fantasising about inserting myself into the story, it means I'm enjoying it at a deeper level (and this is a horror!).
I can't believe this has so few ratings considering how much overrated crap there is out there, stuff that attracts far more interest than it deserves. What is wrong with people, Goddamnit?! This is why the good stuff is getting harder and harder to find—bad taste!
I think this is the first time I've read a female horror writer. If this is the standard, we need many many more writing the genre.
According to Goodreads, Lynn Hightower has a stack of awards to her name. I'm not surprised. And yet so few know about her. It's just not fair. I shall be delving into the rest of her great work.

|§ – Conference co-champions
The 1906 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1906 college football season. The team's head coach was Fielding H. Yost in his sixth year at Michigan. The team compiled a record of 4-1 and outscored opponents, 72 to 30.
The 1906 season was played under two sets of new rules. First, the rules governing intercollegiate were changed to promote a more "open" and less dangerous style of play. The changes included the legalization of the forward pass and allowing the punting team to recover an "on-side" kick as a live ball. Second, the Big Nine Conference enacted new rules, including a rule limiting teams to five games (a drastic reduction from the 13 games played by Michigan in 1905) and prohibitions on the "training table" and pre-season training before the start of the academic year.
Also before the season began, university officials ruled that two of the stars from the 1905 team, Germany Schulz and Walter Rheinschild, were academically ineligible to compete in football. Despite the setbacks, Michigan won its first four games by a combined score of 72 to 13. The season opener against Case Scientific School was the first game played on the new Ferry Field. During the bye week before the final game of the season, Michigan's captain Joe Curtis sustained a severely broken leg in a practice game against the "scrub" team. The Wolverines lost their final game to the Penn Quakers, 17–0, at Philadelphia's Franklin Field. The loss to Penn broke a 95-game unbeaten streak in home games dating back to November 1893.
Two Michigan players, Joe Curtis and fullback John Garrels, were selected as first-team All-Western players. Garrels, who had broken world records in the discus throw and the high hurdles, was also selected as a second-team All-American by Walter Camp.

Season summary[edit | edit source]
Case[edit | edit source]
On October 6, 1906, Michigan opened its season with a 28–0 victory over the team from Cleveland's Case Scientific School. The game was the first played at the newly completed Ferry Field and attracted a crowd estimated at 2,000 persons. The Detroit Free Press called the field "a beauty."[1] The game was the 10th meeting between the two programs. Michigan had won all nine of the prior games by a combined score of 298 to 31.[2]
Fullback John Garrels scored the first touchdown on the new Ferry Field. The score was set up when Case's fullback, Wagar, attempted a punt from deep in Case's territory. After a bad snap, Jack Loell broke through the line and tackled Wagar at Case's five-yard line. Garrels then scored on "two straight line bucks."[3] Joe Curtis missed the extra point kick, and Michigan was unable to score again in the first half. Case threatened once in the first half, when Case's quarterback, Reimenschneider, returned an on-side kick to Michigan's 20-yard line. Wagar's attempt at a field goal for Case was unsuccessful, and Michigan led, 5–0, at halftime.[1] In addition to scoring the first touchdown, Garrels handled punting responsibilities; one of his punts carried 60 yards. He also kicked an extra point and had the longest end run of the game for a 28-yard gain.[1]
Michigan scored four additional touchdowns in the second half. Reimenschneider fumbled the opening kickoff to start the second half, and Michigan recovered the ball at Case's 20-yard line. After the turnover, Michigan quarterback Harry Workman ran for a touchdown. Michigan's third touchdown was set up by a poor punt by Case from behind its own goal line. A penalty was tacked on, and Michigan got the ball at the Case 10-yard line. Workman again ran for the touchdown.[4] Clarence Schenk scored Michigan's fourth touchdown on a "cross buck" from the five-yard line.[1] The final touchdown was scored by Arthur "Waukegan" Wright, a substitute right tackle who was described as "the 'pompadour' haired medic from Illinois," on a 35-yard run following an on-side kick.[1] A rule change enacted in 1906 allowed the punting team to recover a punt as a live ball. The Detroit Free Press described Wright's touchdown as follows:
"Garrels made an on-side punt to the Case thirty-five yard line. Wright brought the ball to his breast after the bound as if it was his long-lost child, and was saving it from the kidnappers. Three Case men tried to stop him as he was making the run for his fireside home, but he seemed to have a through ticket without a punch, and scored the first touchdown of the year on the new rules."[1]
Joe Curtis kicked two extra points, and Garrels kicked one.[5] On defense, Michigan did not allow a first down on the ground, Case's only first downs coming on an on-side kick and off-side penalties against Michigan.[1] Michigan did not attempt a single forward pass against Case, leading the Detroit Free Press to write, "Michigan did not uncan it because it is not fermented enough in this climate to make it look good."[1]
After the game, Case's coach, Wentworth, opined that Michigan's 1906 team was "30 per cent weaker than any other team that Yost has coached here."[1] Yost said, "I am satisfied. My men did as well as I expected. The only star in the game for Michigan was Johnnie Garrels. . . . Not once during the game did Case make its distance on regular football. They tried the forward pass twice, but both times were thrown back for big losses."[6]
Michigan's lineup against Case was Davis (left end), Curtis (left tackle), Patrick (left guard), Loell, (center), Graham (right guard), Ruby and Wright (right tackle), Embs and Newton (right end), Bishop and Lewis (quarterback), Workman (left halfback), Schenk (right halfback), and Garrels (fullback). Chase of Michigan served as referee. Raymond Starbuck of Cornell was the umpire. The game was played in 20-minute halves.[5][6]
at Ohio State[edit | edit source]
For its second game, Michigan defeated Ohio State, 6–0, before a crowd of 6,000 spectators at University Park in Columbus. A special train carried eleven coaches full of Michigan fans to Columbus, arriving one hour before the game started. The game was the eighth meeting in the Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry, with Michigan having won six of the prior meetings and tied once.[7]
The game began shortly after 2:40 p.m., on a cool, but not uncomfortable Saturday afternoon. The game was scoreless for the first 56 minutes of play, as Michigan's offense struggled. The Chicago Daily Tribune attributed the sluggish offensive performance to the fact that Michigan's halfbacks, Ivan Steckle and Paul Magoffin, "were not in the best of shape," having arrived in Columbus on an excursion train a few minutes before the game began. They were rushed to the football field in an automobile and arrived in poor condition.[8] Neither Magoffin nor Steckle had played in the season opener against Case.
With four minutes remaining in the game, John Garrels kicked a field goal from a difficult angle at the Ohio State 25-yard line to give Michigan a 4-0 lead. Garrels had attempted four earlier field goals in the game, all unsuccessful. The Chicago Daily Tribune noted, "Evidently the Wolverines placed all their reliance on Garrels, for the big fellow was constantly trying goal shots."[8] With two minutes remaining, Ohio State's fullback, Gibson, attempted a punt from behind his goal line. Gibson dropped the ball on a poor snap from the sub center, Claggett, and fell on it, resulting in a safety that accounted for Michigan's final two points. On defense, Michigan held Ohio State to four first downs in the game. The Chicago Daily Tribune praised Jack Loell as "a whirlwind at center" who "sustained the heaviest attack of the Ohio backs and drove two of his opponents to the side lines and a third to making the poor pass which gave Michigan the last two points."[8]
Michigan's lineup against Ohio State was Newton (left end), Curtis (left tackle), Eyke (left guard), Loell, (center), Graham (right guard), Patrick (right tackle), Embs (right end), Bishop (quarterback), Magoffin (left halfback), Steckle and Kanaga (right halfback), and Garrels (fullback). Wrenn of Harvard served as referee, and Hoagland of Princeton was the umpire. The game was played in 30-minute halves.[9][8]
Illinois[edit | edit source]
On October 27, 1906, Michigan defeated Illinois, 28–9, before a crowd estimated at close to 5,000 persons at Ferry Field. The game was the fifth between the two schools. Michigan had won all four of the prior games by a combined score of 62 to 5.[10] The game was also Michigan's only contest in 1906 with a member of the Big Nine Conference.
The game began at 2:37 p.m., and was played on a soggy field resulting from "a constant rain of fourteen hours."[11] The rain continued throughout the game, resulting in a slippery ball and numerous fumbles. Illinois turned the ball over four times on fumbles, and Michigan did so three times.[11] In the Detroit Free Press, Joe S. Jackson wrote: "All during the game there was a heavy rainfall. . . . With a strong west wind driving this on a slant into the faces of one set of players, and down the necks of all the spectators the joy of the day was not extreme."[12] On the first play of the game, John Garrels ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Joe S. Jackson wrote:
"Seldom does one see a run of ninety yards to a touchdown. . . . On the first kick-off, . . . Garrels got the ball on his own twenty-yard line. For twenty yards he went through the weaving mass of players, practically alone. Then interference began to form. Once or twice he was grabbed at, but shook off the tackler. How he got through is a marvel, unless the rain, beating directly into the faces of the Illini, partially blinded them. . . . He had gone by twenty-one men, friends and foes, when he touched the ball down behind the Illnois goal posts."[12]
Joe Curtis kicked the extra point, and Michigan led, 6–0. Illinois scored a touchdown after a poor punt from deep in Michigan territory gave Illinois the ball at Michigan's 20-yard line. The umpire, Wren of Harvard, then called a 15-yard penalty against Michigan for "sideline coaching," moving the ball within two or three yards of the goal line. From there, Pinckney ran for the touchdown, but Green missed the extra point, and Michigan led, 6-5. The touchdown was the first allowed by Michigan since 1904.[11] Before the half had ended, Joe Curtis scored a second touchdown for Michigan. The extra point failed, and Michigan led, 11–5, at halftime.[12][11]
In the second half, Moynihan kicked a field goal for Illinois from the 40-yard line, narrowing Michigan's lead to 11–9. Michigan responded with three additional touchdowns. Curtis scored on a 20-yard run and then kicked the extra point to give Michigan a 17-9 lead. A short time later, Brooks of Illinois fumbled an on-side kick by Garrels, and Fred Newton fell on the loose ball behind Illinois' goal line. Michigan's final touchdown was set up by a 60-yard punt by Garrels that rolled almost to the goal line. Brooks was tackled at the five-yard line, and Illinois immediately sought to punt the ball out of danger. Joe Curtis leaped into the air at the 10-yard line, blocked the kick, and recovered the ball for Michigan's final touchdown. The extra point failed, and Michigan led, 28–9. According to Joe Jackson's account, the final ten minutes "was all punting, and enthusiasm began to ooze out as the rain oozed in."[12]
Joe Curtis was Michigan's scoring leader with 18 points on three touchdowns and three extra points.[13] The 1907 Michiganensian opined that the team was "at its best" against Illinois, with "eleven men in every play."[14] Seward Cramer in the Detroit Free Press wrote that Yost had "three truly great players" in Garrels, Curtis and Loell. He noted the Curtis "played like a fiend" and called Loell "the find of the year."[11] Cramer also expressed surprise at the improvement over the prior week: "Never has any such improvement been seen in a team in seven days time. Last Saturday, at Columbus, Michigan played a loafing, listless game. The backs did not get into their plays with any quickness. Something was wrong with the machinery, and during the past week Yost has taken apart the old machine, rearranged the gearing and put in a new driving wheel that makes the whole thing run so much more smoothly that the team that played Ohio State would look like a traction engine beside an easy running tourist auto."[11] Michigan's trainer, Keene Fitzpatrick opined that the team was 50 to 75 percent better against Illinois than it was the prior week.[11]
Michigan did not attempt any forward passes, but Illinois completed two passes "in beautiful style," demonstrating "how good the pass may be if it is gotten away with."[12]
Michigan's lineup against Illinois was Curtis (left end), Loell (left tackle), Eyke (left guard), Clement (center), Graham (right guard), Patrick (right tackle), Newton (right end), Workman and Bishop (quarterback), Magoffin (left halfback), Rumney (right halfback), and Garrels (fullback). McCornack of Dartmouth served as referee with Wrenn of Harvard as umpire and Starbuck of Cornell as linesman. The game was played in 30-minute halves.[13][12]
Vanderbilt[edit | edit source]
On November 3, 1906, Michigan defeated Vanderbilt, 10–4, in front of a crowd of 10,000 at Ferry Field. The game matched Michigan head coach Fielding H. Yost against his former player and brother-in-law, Dan McGugin. McGugin's 1906 team was the dominant team in Southern football, defeating Alabama (78–0), Texas (45–0), Mississippi (29–0), Georgia Tech (37–6), and the Carlisle Indian School (4–0).[15] Between 1905 and 1907, Vanderbilt lost only three games – all three of them to Michigan.[15] On the night before the game, 4,200 students attended a mass meeting at University Hall. McGugin and Yost both spoke to the crowd and agreed that the game would be one of the closest played in Ann Arbor in many years. D. G. Fite, father-in-law of both McGugin and Yost, traveled from his home in Tennessee to watch the game.[16]
John Garrels put Michigan ahead with a field goal from the 25-yard line. On the preceding drive, Garrels had completed a 15-yard forward pass to Bishop, the first legal forward pass completed by Michigan under the new rules. Michigan led, 4–0, at halftime. Early in the second half, Vanderbilt tied the score with a field goal by Dan Blake from the 30-yard line. The game remained tied at 4–4 until the closing minutes. With two minutes left in the game, Garrels ran 68 yards for a touchdown. The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote: "Garrels, on a fake kick, with splendid interference by Hammond, Curtis, and Workman, ran Vanderbilt's left end at lightning speed for sixty-eight yards and a touchdown." Curtis kicked the extra point, and Michigan led, 10–4.[17][18]
Garrels, who scored nine of Michigan's ten points against Vanderbilt, was an outstanding athlete. He broke world records in the discus throw and high hurdles and won two medals in the 1908 Summer Olympics – a silver medal in the 110 meter hurdles and a bronze medal in the shot put.[19][20] Following the Vanderbilt game, The Pittsburg Press wrote:
"Garrels is the best fullback in the West, and probably has no equal in the country. Weighing 200 pounds, he is a wonderfully speedy runner, capable of covering the 100 yards in 10 seconds. He is a fine punter, place and drop kicker, tackles well, and is a great line plunger."[21]
Michigan's lineup against Vanderbilt was Curtis (left end), Loell (left tackle), Eyke (left guard), Clement (center), Graham (right guard), Patrick and Newton (right tackle), H. Hammond (right end), Workman (quarterback), Magoffin (left halfback), Bishop (right halfback), and Garrels (fullback). Elder of Penn State served as referee with Neil Snow of Michigan was the umpire and Eldridge of Michigan as the head linesman. The game was played in 30-minute halves.[13]
Injury to Joe Curtis[edit | edit source]
In the first four games of the 1906 football season, Joe Curtis started two games at left end and two games at left tackle. Michigan won those games by a combined score of 72 to 13.[22] Curtis had been one of the leading scorers on Michigan's "Point-a-Minute" teams of 1904 (86 points on 11 touchdowns and 31 extra points) and 1905 (105 points on 15 touchdowns and 30 extra points).
Curtis's final game for Michigan was to have been the season finale against Penn. On November 10, 1906, one week before the Penn game, Curtis suffered a severely broken leg during a practice game. Curtis had not planned to play in the game, but the varsity was playing "listlessly" and had been held to a 0–0 score by the scrubs. Accordingly, Curtis put himself in the lineup at left end for the final three minutes in hopes of inspiring the team. The injury occurred as Curtis carried the ball. An end on the scrub team, Langley, fell trying to keep from being "boxed out."[23] Curtis tripped on Langley and fell into a half somersault. In an attempt to protect his ankle, Curtis gathered his leg under him while in the air. The mass of players "fell in a heap on poor Curtis. 'Snap' went his left leg at a point between the knee and ankle. The noise of the breaking of the bones could be heard distinctly in the bleachers."[23]
Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick walked onto the field to examine Curtis and quickly saw that the leg was broken. In what the Detroit Free Press described as "one of the most touching scenes ever witnessed on a football field," the crowd of 1,000 sitting in the bleachers fell silent and Michigan's quarterback, Harry Workman, "was seen to come out of the bunch of standing players, put his hands to his face, and break down and weep like a child."[23] A surgeon who was in the stands came onto the field, examined Curtis, and called for an ambulance. The crowd sat silently as Curtis was "carefully placed on a stretcher" and into the hospital wagon. As the crowd finally walked slowly up State Street, the "gloom was awful."[23] The Detroit Free Press wrote:
"Big Joe Curtis – one of the best fellows who ever went to college – who was acknowledged to be the best tackle in the west, and who was preparing himself to play the game of his life against Pennsylvania, the last college game in which he could ever participate, and who was practically certain of recognition for the All-American team, is down and out on the eve of what was to be the great climax of his spectacular football career. . . . 'G-L-O-O-M' spells Ann Arbor tonight."[23]
Due to the seriousness of the injury, Curtis was hospitalized for several weeks and did not play in the Penn game.[24]
at Penn[edit | edit source]
Michigan concluded its season on November 17, 1906, with a 17–0 loss to Penn in front of a crowd of nearly 26,000 spectators at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The game was the second between Michigan and Penn. Penn won the first game in 1899, 11–10.[25]
The start of the game was delayed by half an hour after Michigan head coach Fielding H. Yost sought a ruling that Penn's "tackle back" play (in which the tackle dropped back into the backfield as a ball carrier) was illegal under the new rules. The referee, Kelly, agreed with Yost and informed the Pennsylvania team. The Quakers refused to take the field in light of the ruling, and twenty minutes of wrangling followed. Yost reported after the game that the umpire Langford finally approached Yost and said, "Now, Mr. Yost, you act the gentleman and go on the field."[26] According to the Detroit Free Press, the officials ruled that the play was legal if the a guard or tackle had both feet or both hands up to the line of scrimmage and waited until the snap to receive the ball.[27]
With many of its best players either injured or academically disqualified, Michigan played an inexperienced group against Penn. Left guard Sam Davison was playing his first game for the Wolverines. Jack Loell replaced Curtis at left end and played his first game as an end. Walter Eyke and Fred Newton played only their second games at tackle, and Carl Clement played his third game at center.[27]
With Curtis out of action, the Penn team focused on John Garrels. Early in the game, Michigan kept the ball in Penn territory, and Garrels narrowly missed a field goal from the 45-yard line. Also early in the first half, Penn's right tackle Gaston shoved Garrels to the ground after he had punted. The blow nearly knocked Garrels out of the game, and the head linesman called a penalty of 30 yards and ejected Gaston from the game. [27][26] The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote that "Gaston slugged Garrels, knocking the big acting captain 'silly' for a few minutes and dazing him for the entire half."[26] After the game, Michigan's trainer, Keene Fitzpatrick noted that "Garrels' face is badly disfigured for the time being."[26] The Tribune also reported that Penn's fullback Hollenbach had kneed Michigan halfback Paul Magoffin in the face.[26]
In the Detroit Free Press, Seward Cramer wrote: "The Pennsylvania men watched [Garrels] above all others, and he could not make a move that was not followed. . . . Eleven times did Johnny Garrels try the famous fake play that has worked against every other team this season. He would form for a punt and then try a dash for the harbor. But Scarlett and Levine, the scout boats, would intercept him, and in ten plays of this character he was thrown for a total loss of sixty-five yards, and in only one did he get away with the goods for any substantial gain. That was a run of twenty yards around Pennsylvania's left end."[27] Cramer blamed the "almost total lack of interference" for Garrels' inability to gain through Penn's line.[27] A soggy field was also blamed for slowing Garrels.[27]
Penn's first touchdown was set up by a forward pass that took the ball to Michigan's 25-yard line. Penn then faked a field goal, and Hollenbach ran the ball to the two-yard line. Folwell then scored, and Penn led, 6–0, at halftime.[27] At the start of the second half, Yost again protested the Penn's "tackle back" play in which the tackle was deployed in the backfield. The Penn team refused to accept Yost's interpretation and told him, "Take your team and go home."[26] Rather than risk a disruption in the relations between the schools, Yost opted to lead his team back onto the field for the second half. Penn's captain and right halfback Green scored two touchdowns in the second half.[26]
In a post-game interview, Coach Yost said: "Pennsylvania outplayed us. There are all sorts of 'buts' and 'ifs' that might be put in, but even if they were the Quakers would have a good margin over us. Our line could not hold them, therefore our back field could not do anything on the offense."[26]
In the Detroit Free Press, Joe S. Jackson wrote that Michigan fans considered the game the first real loss ever suffered by a Yost-coached team, the 2–0 loss to Chicago in 1905 having been dismissed as a fluke. Jackson noted, "However, Ann Arbor may now cut out the proud boast referred to. For a Yost-coached team was beaten today, and it was beaten good."[28] The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote: "The Quakers simply trapped the Wolverine, slaughtered him, ripped off his hide, scraped it, and pegged it up to dry in the sun."[26]
Michigan's lineup against Penn was Loell (left end), Eyke (left tackle), Davison (left guard), Clement (center), Graham (right guard), Newton (right tackle), Hammond (right end), Workman (quarterback), Magoffin (left halfback), Bishop and Rumney (right halfback), and Garrels (fullback). Kelly of Princeton served as referee with Langford of Trinity as the umpire and Foltz of Brown as the linesman. The game was played in 30-minute halves.[29][27]
Post-season[edit | edit source]
Two Michigan players, Joe Curtis and John Garrels, were selected as first-team players on the All Western team of the Chicago Daily Tribune. The Tribune chose Curtis as a tackle even though he had been moved to end so he could be drawn back to run with the ball, in light of a rule change the prohibited a tackle from being drawn back behind the line unless he was five yards back of the line of scrimmage. Garrels was chosen at fullback because of his "ability to kick and catch punts, to buck the line, or run the ends and dodge in the open."[30] The Tribune opined that "Garrels is almost as valuable to a team as Eckersall, and if the eastern critics are nonpartisan they will place upon the All-American team Garrels at full back and Eckersall at quarter back."[30]
No Michigan players received first-team All-American honors from Walter Camp or Caspar Whitney.[31] However, Garrels was selected as a second-team player by Camp.[32]

In an article by AdWeek, facial detection was considered the next big thing in technology. It is expected to grow from $ 3.3 billion USD (2016) to $7.76 billion by 2022. Part of this growth is due to its application for advertising.
Facial Detection will play a big part in the next wave of digital marketing innovation. It will allow marketers to bring engagement to the next level. It will be the next frontier of allowing brands to take a peak on the minds of their audience. Here are the top trends that we see for facial detection (FD) in digital marketing:
#1 Facial Detection and Augmented Reality Integration
With the surge of augmented reality, marketers can integrate it with facial detection. Companies can experiment with create immersive brand experiences without being intrusive or annoying. Facial Detection allows apps to estimate customer demographics. Brands can be able to run meaningful AR experiences through it.
Using the facial detection of smartphones, fashion and make-up brands can create virtual make-over experiences to their audience. Facial Detection and facial mapping can make the experience more precise. Apps can determine the gender, age and facial features of audiences. Based from the captured profile AI can map it out allowing viewers to try out make-ups and clothes as if they are in a physical store.
#2 Brand Activation
Facial Detection is very efficient in estimating the age, gender and mood of its audience. Because of this, there is huge opportunity for digital and the events industry to capitalize this for brand experience. They can create custom apps for product launches and brand activation.
Let's say your a millenial eyewear company, you can use apps to allow people to try out your line. You can customized which type of goodies they can try out based on demographic or mood. You can influence people to share their photos/videos of themselves trying virtual goods. This will help make your brand activation trend even to those who have not attended the event. These people will share that experience to their friends and followers.
Talk about turning visitors into brand ambassadors on a huge scale. Supporting your event hashtag is a big arsenal for brands.
#3 Bridge Out-of-Home and Digital
Since facial detection has the ability to get viewer demographics, you can use this info to to hyper-targeted ads in the outside setting. You can use tablets and LEDs to display relevant ads based on what the AI is seeing. Personalized marketing is more effective compared to shot-gun marketing. It makes it more meaningful for the audience.
AdMov is an example of doing this experience in an OOH setting. Utilizing tablets inside rideshare vehicles, they allow brands to do targeted ads via facial detection. If it the platform sees a 35 male in an office district, it will display ads that suits to that type of rider.
These riders become more receptive to the ad and thus, increase engagement and even conversion for that brand. This makes ads more efficient. You eliminate waste on running ads to the wrong type of audience.
Demonstration on how facial detection is being used at an OOH setting.
#4 Content Analysis
Facial Detection is an excellent tool to measure the efficacy of your video content. Before broadcasting your videos in social media, you can run focus groups to test out their reactions. Facial Detection allows you to measure the mood of your audience. It also allows you to determine reactions per age and per gender.
AdMov has run campaigns for brands to test their contents. We were able to run tests on a controlled environment, tracking reactions of riders on videos of the brands. This provided valuable insights to help them on their campaigns.
If you are creative you can even test different types of endings and see which garnered more reactions from a controlled environment. This ensures you have the best video sequence before you broadcast it to the public.

Former NHL defenseman Phil Housley returns to the city where he spent eight of his 21 NHL seasons, only this time he'll be behind the bench rather than competing on the ice.
Housley will coach one of the two teams of American prospects taking part in the inaugural CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game that is taking place tonight in Buffalo, NY. Housley was a first round pick of the Buffalo Sabres, the team hosting this event, back in 1982. The offensively gifted Housley stepped right into the NHL from high school, spending nearly half of his career with the Sabres before being dealt to the Winnipeg Jets. All told, Housley played for eight NHL teams while totaling 338 goals and 894 assists for 1232 points in 1495 games. He is a member of the USA Hockey Hall of Fame, as well as the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame.
Housley is now a coach at Stillwater Area High School in Minnesota, and more recently was chosen to coach Team USA's squad at the 2013 U-20 World Junior Championship that will take place in Ufa, Russia later this year.
Housley met with the media following the game day skate at First Niagara Center, some of which is captured in this HF video.

Lucy was granted her angels wings and lovingly accepted into the hands of God's kingdom on March 18, 2017 in Vancouver, BC at the age of 95.
Lucy raised six children as a single parent when her husband Gerard Morrissey predeceased her in 1967. She always held firm in her beliefs that no matter how difficult things became God would provide, and He always did.
Lucy is lovingly survived by four sons; Michael, Bill, Allan, Patrick; daughter, Lucy; many grandchildren; and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her son, Jim in 1999; and by her parents, Gaston and Marie de la Giroday.
Lucy was born in Vancouver, BC, Aug. 19, 1921. She attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help elementary school, then went on to graduate high school at Little Flower Academy. One of Mom's favorite stories was that she and her dad picked up the sisters at the train station in Vancouver when they arrived to open the brand new school at OLPH. Upon entering the school with the nuns they officially declared her "the first pupil" which she was very proud of, and spoke of often throughout our lives. We all became very accustomed to hearing the same stories over and over again!
Lucy was very active in both of her parish churches, St. Augustine's and OLPH. Her religion was extremely important to her and helped her through the many challenges she experienced in her lifetime.

St. Lucia supports cultural and geotourism goals
Bevan Springer | 2/16/2012, 4:44 p.m.
Paradise Island, Bahamas (Jan. 26, 2012)-St. Lucia's new minister of tourism, heritage and creative industries supports calls for strengthening the region's marketing and promotion of its history and heritage to stay competitive in the world market.
Speaking ahead of Caribbean Marketplace, which was held this week at Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Minister Lorne Theophilus asserted, "We can no longer rely solely on our physical attributes when marketing the region. We must pay attention to our past, our patrimony and our people and promote these integral components of our identity to potential visitors.
"Cultural tourism, heritage tourism and geotourism each helps to promote our essence and our identity, and these tourism subsets create tangible opportunities for businesses as well as artists, entertainers and community contractors," added Theophilus.
Alec Sanguinetti, director general of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), in an article in the Nassau Guardian, proposed "the cultural nuances which make destinations unique have to take center stage."
Sanguinetti contended: "Travelers today are looking for an experience. The beach is there. The people and the hospitality are there. We need to keep building on our attractions and culture and not let our history disappear."
According to the National Geographic Society, which developed the concept and coined the term, "geotourism" is defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place-its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage and the well-being of its residents.
Geotourism incorporates the concept of sustainable tourism-that destinations should remain unspoiled for future generations-while allowing for ways to protect a place's character. Geotourism also takes a principle from its ecotourism cousin-that tourism revenue should promote conservation-and extends it to include culture and history, that is, all of the distinctive assets of a place.
Theophilus led St. Lucia's delegation to the CHTA's Caribbean Marketplace this week and was accompanied by Director of Tourism Louis Lewis; Vice President of Sales and Marketing Nerdin St. Rose; Jean-Marc Flambert, director of marketing, U.K. and Europe; and North America sales executive Lorine St. Jules.
Held at the Atlantis resort Jan. 22 to 24, Caribbean Marketplace offered wholesalers and tour operators the opportunity to meet with hoteliers and attractions and destination officials to plan and prepare packages to accommodate potential vacationers this year.

Will surveys seriously damage your belief that the bug doesn't hurt?
Don't breathe easy it ain't over yet!
Karl Feilder
Ground Zero
Don't breathe easy it ain't over yet!
You may have caught the string of tongue-in-cheek anti-smoking commercials during December - sad and pale people telling us how much worse they felt since they had made the decision to quit after 20 years. (For one marvellous moment I thought they were advocating giving up the technology treadmill, but sadly I was mistaken.)
It was a fascinating piece of anti-marketing, appealing to that small portion of our New Britain brain which can still distinguish reality from fantasy.
And it was successful. Of course it was. If it had been ineffective we would have heard by now wouldn't we?
Therein lies my point. How do we, intelligent, 21st century, ape-descended beings, actually know what is going on in the world? I don't mean to sound paranoid, but just think about it for a moment.
If the anti-smoking campaign (or it could have been anti-having-a-good-time from the expressions on the actors' faces) was not successful, how would we know? Would long queues of people telephone the TV station and confess all?
"Yes I tried to quit on 31 December, but now I'm back to 40 a day."
I don't think so. It's not human nature to invite embarrassment or ridicule (save, of course, for those sad bunnies who appear on the Jerry Springer show), and so no one will call.
And so it is with the bug. Not the cough-cough-splutter-have-a-week-in-bed flu bug, but the other one.
There have now been a couple of surveys - one here and one from the United States of Disney. In America, more than 3,000 individuals confessed all. The result - more than 25% had been bitten by the bug, with nearly 40% of these still not fixed 10 days into the new year, and 56% said the bites were "unanticipated". Of course, back in Blighty we did much better.
Only 7% of UK companies said that they had been bitten. Who's telling the truth - and who's too embarrassed?
I don't think we'll ever know. But one thing is sure - the situation is a lot better because of all the hard work we put in. Pulling together and achieving impossible things in unrealistic timeframes.

"And everything's gone terribly wrong that can,
But one breath at a time is an acceptable plan, she tells herself. . . "
- Tamburitza Lingua
Ani DiFranco
Ani DiFranco
Fact 1: I am fabulous at planning things.
Fact 2: I am ridiculously Type-A.
Fact 3: I catastrophize like a PRO.
Fact 4: I am the WORST at being patient.
Fact 5: This is an absolutely horrible combination.
So, if you have spoken to me, even in passing, in the last 3 weeks, I've probably mentioned (read: obsessively talked about) how I am waiting to hear from USP about my interview for PA school. When I interviewed on December 19th, they said that we'd be hearing about acceptances in the first week of January. For those of you playing the home game, that was LAST week. When nothing came in the mail or email for the entirety of last week, I wasn't ENTIRELY surprised because admissions committees are notorious for saying one thing and doing twelve other things, usually without telling any of the interested parties. I called and left a message on Friday, then emailed on Monday and called another person in admissions... all without any answer. By Monday night and Tuesday, I was legitimately depressed because as Fact 3 points out, I catastrophize like a pro and had somehow decided that not only had I been rejected, I was going to get rejected from the rest of the schools that I haven't heard from yet, and then I'd have to post-bacc/retake classes which is not only expensive, but time consuming... and I'm not OLD by any sense of the word, but PA school takes 2-3 years and I'd be spending at least a year doing the post-bacc thing... and someday I'd like to have children, preferably before I'm 35, and God knows if I can even HAVE kids.... so I essentially had talked myself into believing that I am never going to get into PA school and that in the process of trying, I will have squandered my reproductive years and subsequently lost both my career and family aspirations... and that because of that, Ken would leave me and my friends would think I was crazy and so then I'd be alone. Forever.
Basically, I'd be a huge failure at life, the universe, and everything.
All because I didn't get an email or a large envelope in the mail.
So today, I decided that I was going to call and get someone on the phone at USP. It took me three separate tries, but I finally got one of the administrative assistants to answer the phone and she transferred me to the Admissions Director, who clearly had silenced her phone once the first week in January had passed and she knew she'd be getting a deluge of phone calls from anxious people like myself. She told me that no, no decisions had been mailed as of yet and that I hadn't missed anything, and that yes, she had been getting approximately a thousand phone calls a day (probably only a slight exaggeration). I asked if she had any idea when they'd be going out, and she told me "sometime within the next two weeks" so I guess the "first week in January" was really the "last week in January".
But hey, I haven't been rejected! Yet...? (See, still catastrophizing.)
Anyway, now I can breathe. A little. And stop stalking my mailbox. Sort of. I told you, I'm really bad at being patient.
And I just want to be able to plan my life, for pete's sake. It's really annoying to not know what the hell is going on in August... which I realize sounds kind of absurd because August is 8 months away... but Ken and I want to move in July and we have to tell our complex in May whether we're staying, so we're going to start looking in late April for places... which is ALSO really annoying because I'd like to move NOW, or at least know where we're moving in April, because that's only FOUR months away.
So yes. Basically, my brain is a disaster, as per usual. But I haven't been rejected from PA school, so that's good.
In other news, my joints are KILLING me today and I just want to go home, fill my prescription, take drugs, and lie down under the heated blanket for awhile. Thankfully, it's just after 4, which means I can do that. And tomorrow is Thursday, AKA: Almost Friday, and Friday I'm taking a half day because my dad is flying in for the weekend. I really hope that I don't feel disgusting. Wishful thinking, perhaps.
And so with that, I am off... into the disgusting, rainy, freezing, wet, mess that awaits outside. Brr.

Artist Statement:
"I'm not always sure where the inspiration for my artwork comes from other than wanting to give the viewer another excuse for looking at some of the things I find fascinating in the world around us. I have found drawing to be an outlet for the sense of humor and curiosity I witness each day"
Paul Van Heest, a resident of nearby Holland, Michigan, uses graphite and color pencil to create glimpses into a beautifully quirky world. Playing on obscure and amusing phobias, stories and concepts, he 'draws' you into his imaginary tales. Van Heest taught art primarily at the middle school level for 33 years. His art is an outlet for his unique and ironic sense of humor. There is so much more to see in the artwork that is best seen in person.

Ginger Pineapple Chicken Rice Bowl
February 12, 2011
It was starting to get late and I hadn't made any dinner plans yet so we decided to pick up some chicken breasts to put into a salad. By the time we got home, I didn't really want salad. I wanted something warm and salty/sweet.
For months The Ginger People's Ginger Syrup has sat in our fridge waiting to be tasted. (Yes, another one of our try-something-new purchases from Whole Foods.) Dan's a big fan of ginger flavor but I'm not and I think that's why I waited so long to try to cook with it.
I chopped up the chicken and seared it in a little olive oil with some garlic powder. While that cooked, I microwaved some Jasmine rice. Once the chicken was mostly cooked, I poured in some soy sauce and ginger syrup. I cooked that a bit while I rummaged through my pantry for some pineapple chunks.
I tossed in the pineapple and rice and cooked it for a couple minutes to let the flavors blend together a little bit. The rice seemed good and sticky so I thought I'd have a little fun and use a bowl to shape the Ginger Pineapple Chicken Rice Bowl rather than just dump it on the plate.
I didn't measure anything, so no recipe to post, sorry! I'll try to make it again and measure things out next time. No promises...

What is the meaning of "land"? Does it refer to an agricultural land or a dry
land without cultivation or a living territory or a political nation or a cosmic earth?
Kiyeho Sema begins his arguments with a premise that the land theology of the eighth
century prophets is basically a tripartite relationship and that such tripartite
understanding is shaped by and rooted in various historical and religious traditions of
ancient Israel. To substantiate the arguments, he has selected some key texts for
exegetical inquiry by employing the form critical and traditio-historical methods to
define the meaning of land and see how such meanings are shaped by various traditions

This year's forum will focus on "MOVING UPSTREAM: Waste and Resource Management with Social and Economic Benefits", a key sustainability topic for the MENA region.
The forum will allow participants to learn about and discuss the latest developments and challenges in resource and solid waste management, and to get an exclusive networking opportunity with regional and international experts both from public and private sectors.
The following sessions will be held:
- Session 1: Perspectives for Waste as Alternative Fuels and Source of Energy
- Session 2: Organic Waste Management as a Source of Income Generation
- Session 3: Construction and Demolition Waste Management - Turning a Problem into a market
- Session 4: Informal Sector Involvement in Municipal waste Management
- Session 5: E-Waste Handling and Recycling Perspectives for the MENA Region
Apart from offering an opportunity to discuss about the latest issues and happenings in waste management in the region, this forum is also a chance to share experiences in the field.
D-Waste team will participate in the forum and will present the outcomes and conclusions of a regional benchmarking study that compares waste management performance of the Sweep-Net member countries. Apart from presenting data and comparing performances, the study conducted by D-Waste is expected to establish a solid basis for further development of the sector in the future.
Look forward to meeting you in Amman.
