The influx of Irish-registered companies to Malta and the prominent visits by Irish government officials is a clear sign of the increasingly warm relations between the two countries. For a country such as Malta, with a small open economy, such links are vital to its prosperity, as are the rich resources that both islands hold.
"Malta's biggest advantage over Ireland is that, being in a small economy, access to senior government figures, regulators and other decision makers is relatively straightforward," stated Patrick J. O'Brien, EXANTE's communications director. "For companies like EXANTE, this is vitally important. As a online broker with a solid and transparent framework, our brand is of the utmost importance; having strong upfront relationships with our partners makes this easy."

Welcome to the World LUMEN Congress 2016 (WLC 2016)! WLC 2016 is the 15th anniversary edition of LUMEN events and scientific activity, developed through LUMEN Research Center and Social Humanistic Sciences, LUMEN Publishing House and LUMEN conference Center!
The goal of World LUMEN Congress focuses on the interferences between the new theoretical approaches and the social and educational practice, taking into account the need for an ethical resizing of the social action.
WLC2016 will explore new approaches in social and humanistic fields, through its anniversary theme "Logos Universality Mentality Education Novelty", by bringing international academics, practitioners and experts together in Iasi, Romania, from 12 – 17 April 2016.
- Logos | aims to expose certain theoretical paradigms on social action, specific to the postmodern and transmodern paradigm, and the re-contextualization of the influences of modernity.
- Universality | seeks the universalization of social and communicational paradigms, and their contextual applicability in the current communicational Universe.
- Mentality | causes reflection upon the acceptability of new dimensions of knowledge and the relationship between mind and consciousness, of the different cultural and communicational perspectives.
- Education | aims at the multidimensional approach of education in the context of the paradigmatic mutations generated by the switch towards the society of knowledge.
- Novelty | seeks to highlight the issue generated by the need for personal, institutional and social adapting to what is new, and to a continuous paradigmatic change, both in the plan of knowledge and of social action.
There are expected papers in the social sciences and humanities fields, without being set a precise disciplinary border.There are expected papers to cover areas of interest and more. There are expected and encouraged the transdisciplinary approaches that overcome the existing cleavage between theory and empiric.
LUMEN Conference Center started its activity in 2010, with the mission to provide professional management for conferences organized by the LUMEN Research Center for Social and Humanistic Sciences.
The purpose of the Centre is to disseminate information from research conducted by academics and undergraduate, master, doctoral, post-doctoral students, practitioners, in an organized framework, where they can share ideas and lay the groundwork for fruitful professional collaboration with specialists from the country and abroad.
Under the umbrella of the LUMEN Conference Centre there are organized national and international conferences, symposia, workshops, scientific discussions.
The attention of the LUMEN Conference Centre experts on logistics and planning details allows the Scientific Board to focus on the scientific event content, ensuring a high degree of professionalism.
We welcome you to events LUMEN!

Real Christmas tree or fake? What do you prefer and why?
Growing up my family was not really into Christmas so we only had a very small fake tree. I think it would be SO much fun to go pick out a tree, etc (Ive never done it.) We currently have a small fake but I'm interested in real tree details 🙂
Are they messy.. Are they very expensive? How much (approx) do you pay for a real tree every year.

RV Sofa Bed Replacement Guide With Ideas: Everything You Need to Know Before Replacing Your Sofa
Are you tired of turning away overnight guests because of the lack of sleeping space in your RV?
Are you fed up with sitting on an old worn out and outdated sofa?
Ditch your current couch and replace it with an upgraded RV sleeper sofa bed!
Whether your goal is to add additional sleeping space to your trailer, fifth wheel, or motorhome or are just looking to replace your current couch with an RV sleeper sofa bed, there are a few crucial things to know before starting your project.
What you need to know before choosing your replacement sofa bed
Not all RVs are built alike and neither are RV sofa beds!
Choosing the right RV sofa bed can be influenced by a handful of different things.
Do you have a slide?
How big is your slide?
What is your RV's layout?
How much floor space do you have?
These are all things to take into consideration before purchasing your replacement sofa bed for your RV.
One of the most important factors that you need to take into consideration before choosing your preferred sofa bed for your RV would be measurement.
It is important to be certain that your floor plan can accommodate the type of sofa bed that you want.
How to measure for your RV Sofa Bed
It is important to be certain that your RV's floor plan can accommodate the type of sofa bed that you want.
Floor space may limit you as to where you can add your foldable sofa bed in your RV.
You'll want to mind any obstructions that your floor plan may contain: things such as windows, doors, walls, countertops, etc.
Take a look at the two images below.
Each line represents a different measurement crucial to selecting a new RV sofa bed.
Height: The height should be measured from the base of the sofa to the tallest part of the sofa's back.
Width: Measured from furthest left to the furthest right of the sofa.
Depth: The depth of the sofa should be measured from the back of the sofa to the front of the sofa.
As shown in the photo below, you will also want to measure for an possible obstructions that your sofa bed may hit when folded in a bed (picture shown is a jackknife sofa).
Depending on the size of your desired RV sofa bed, you may need to make some additional measurements of your entry door, just to be safe.
Types of RV Sofa Beds to consider
There are three different styles of foldable RV sofa beds, each of course with different sleeping capacities and floor space requirements.
Jackknife Sofa Bed
The Jackknife sofa bed is typically a standard sofa bed that doesn't take up much room.
Whenever you have company over, or need an extra bed, you simply pull on the seat of the sofa to lay it flat.
The downside to this sofa bed is that it can be quite lumpy and uncomfortable, which means that you would likely need to invest in some type of roll out foam mattress or mattress topper.
Tri Fold Sofa Bed
The Tri fold sofa is a fantastic RV sofa bed style that can add up to two additional sleeping spots to your RV.
This foldable sofa bed is a bit larger and bulkier than the previous jackknife sofa.
While it does require a bit more work to fold into a bed, this sofa sleeper is a bit more comfortable.
We would still recommend a mattress topper.
Hide-A-Bed Sofa Air Mattress
The hide-a-bed air mattress is the biggest of the bunch.
Though this RV sofa bed is heavy and bulky, it tends to much more comfortable than both the jackknife and tri fold sofas.

What you need to know before you go
The Campania region, stretching down the coast of southern Italy, is famed for the towns that are seemingly carved into cliff edges. The Amalfi coast is the most popular place to visit, which is best experienced on a road trip from Naples. Mount Vesuvius is an icon of the region, along with the stunning beaches found on the island of Capri.
To delve into the history of the region, a visit to Pompeii is a must. You can tour the excavated remains of this ancient Roman city, which was obliterated by one of Europe's largest volcanic eruptions.

Much of the coursework assignments include writing essays and papers, at both the secondary and university levels. These take an inordinate amount of time and effort, and British students often have more than one of these assignments going at the same time. This can be disastrous for any student who has 5-6 classes at a time and other assignments as well. It is no wonder, then, that students in the UK, just like everywhere, look for an essay writing service for help. And this is the reason why UK.GetGoodGrade.com exists – to provide essay writing service to the UK overwhelmed and overworked students.
Here is just a partial list of the types of coursework our gifted and degreed writers can produce for you:
First, we ask that they submit official transcripts of their university studies including the degrees that they have earned. We then verify those documents and administer a test to determine expertise in grammar, composition, and academic research methods. We then provide a writing assignment in the topic areas of their degrees for them to complete and submit within deadline parameters. Once, our applicants successfully pass through this process, they are employed as writers for us.
We place each writer into a category based upon his/her degree field and the level of degree. When clients place orders with us, we match their topic field and academic level with a fully qualified writer who is best suited for the need. Secondary students will receive writers with at least a Bachelor's degree; undergraduate students will receive British essay writers who have a minimum of a Master's degree in the academic discipline, and graduate students will always receive writers with Ph.D. degrees in those specialty research fields. Because of our matching process of client orders and writers, students can be assured that they are getting the top writers for their needs. Very few other services can guarantee this type of personalized matching of order and writer.
We take very seriously our commitment to transparency, honesty, and protection of our clients. With that in mind, we have written policies in the following areas:
These policies combine to make UK.GetGoodGrade.com the best UK essay and other assignment writing service in existence right now.
You will find the following policies and procedures in place regarding pricing:
We have an FAQ section, but clients often have other questions that they want to be answered personally. For this reason, we man a customer support department 24 hours a day. We have a published phone number, a live chat service, and an email address – all of which a potential customer may use to contact us. We want to provide all of the help possible as clients are considering our service. We often receive questions such as:
"Are you able to help me with a really tough essay that is due in just a day?"
"Do you really have a qualified writer who can help me with my Ph.D. dissertation?"
We want everyone to understand that we are available to write in any topic area, with even the most urgent of deadlines, and that we have the professional academicians to fulfill any order a client may need.

Birders Building Habitat with Chums of Terrell Creek
Birders love company, regardless of the weather. On March 15, 2015, a soggy,raining Sunday, a group of enthusiastic bird lovers shared stories over bottomless cups of coffee and pan fried bacon at C.J.'s Beach House overlooking Birch Bay. The group enjoyed their delicious breakfast while delighting in a presentation and showing of the film "Birds, Back Yard Habitat and Beyond", an incredible documentary on the diversity and wonder of our own neighborhood wildlife by featured speakers Craig and Joy Johnson. Invigorated by the sights and sounds of the video and powered by an ample breakfast much of the group joined renowned bird expert Paul Woodcock for a stroll around the local Birch Bay and Terrell Creek wetlands, forests and marshes looking, listening and observing birds of all kinds.
Many of these hardy bird enthusiasts came in from the weather and joined Whatcom Conservation Districts Education Coordinator, Aneka Sweeney, at the new BP Heron Center in Birch Bay State Park for a workshop on "Inviting Nature into your Backyard". The group reflected on the weekends activities, recounted the diversity of people and wildlife they encountered, described lessons learned, then explored their own relationship with the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat. Aneka motivated the group with stories of success by the Chums of Terrell Creek, with over 60 landowners making habitat improvements on their property including over 35 acres of newly planted riparian habitat, 3,900 feet of instream habitat restored and thousands of native tree and shrub species planted to provide shelter, food and to restore ecosystem function. The group shared what sort of habitat they currently live in so they could explore all the different ways bird and wildlife needs could be enhanced regardless of the space they have in their backyard. The workshop guided attendees through a step-by-step site analysis and action plan for creating and sustaining habitat in small and large spaces. The Whatcom Conservation District can help in many ways and with the 22nd Annual Native Plant Sale in just a few weeks the timing couldn't have been better.
Whether we live in an apartment or a 20 acre farm, we can all make a difference, at home and in our communities to improve existing habitat and do what we can to build new and sustainable corridors for our winged friends. The benefits are not just for the birds, our society needs a connection to the land, connection to your neighbors, healthy time spent outdoors, clean air, fresh water, healthy soil and commitment to understanding our relationship with nature and role in protecting it. At the end of this busy day young and old alike relished in their new appreciation for local wildlife and felt empowered to do what they could protect and enhance habitat in their backyard and beyond.

Pavitra Rishta 13th September 2013 Written Episode Update
Pavitra Rishta 13th September 2013 Written Episode, Pavitra Rishta 13th September 2013 Written Update
Manav is searching for a file. He checks Soham's closet and is shocked to find a bottle of alcohol. He asks Archana. Savita comes and handles the situation by saying it's Manav's father's and she hid there. Manav gives bottle to her. Savita says she will throw it out. Manav leaves. Savita closes the door and asks Archana what happened to Soham all of a sudden. Archana tells her everything and says Manav shouldn't find out about this. Archana says, I don't know what to do. Savita says, don't worry.. I am here. I will solve everything.
Soham is searching his closet. Purvi comes there and asks, what are you finding? You're finding alcohol bottle right? Why are you doing all this? You know you're putting yourself into trouble by doing all this. That day Baba didn't find out because of aai and aaji. You know very well what would happen if Baba finds out about this. Soham is leaving, but Purvi stops him and makes him sit. She tells him that this is not her Soham dada whose doing all this. She says, I never asked you for anything, but today I want to you ask you for something and you will have to give me that. Please return me my Soham dada who always used to stay happy and was listening to me. I miss him a lot. Please bring that Soham dada back. Soham wipes her tears and says, I will bring him back, but you also promise me that whenever I need you, you won't go anywhere. Purvi says, did I ever leave you like that? I have always been with you. I promise you I will be here whenever you need me. She then tells him to get ready as it's Sachin's haldi. Soham says, I can't come to that function. I have a lot of work. He leaves from there. Arjun sees and says in his mind, I will have to talk about Soham with Purvi after the function.
Haldi function beings. Teju comes and says she will apply haldi first. Savita stops and says it's aai who applies the haldi first. Archana comes and applies the haldi to Sachin, followed by others. Manav tells Archana, look our Sachin is so happy. It seems like 25 years hard work finally paid off. Archana says it's all thanks to sanskaar that he got from you and aai.
Sandeep gives Sachin's photo to Balan and says, I have heard that your gang kidnaps people easily and end their game, I just want you to kidnap him. Balan is surprised to see Sachin's photo. Sandeep asks what happened? You can't do it? Balan says, when do you want us to kidnap him? Sandeep says after 2 days it's his wedding, I want you to kidnap on that day. He gives him advance money.
Arjun comes to Purvi. Purvi says, I am missing Soham dada a lot. Everyone is so happy inside, and Soham dada doesn't want to attend the function. I don't know what and how to explain him. Arjun says, as much as I know Soham, I don't think he wants to understand anything. Don't know what's his mindset. I am afraid that if he remains like this, then all the hard work that everyone did to change him, will go in vain. I am afraid he might do something wrong. Purvi says, no… what are you saying? I know he is going through bad phase, but he will never do anything wrong. Our family love will take him out of this situation. He was in similar situation before, but aai's love changed him. Arjun says, I understand, but love for Gauri has made him crazy.. he can do anything. You're his sister and you love him a lot and that is why you're ignoring all this, but he has no clue about what's right and wrong right now. We can't ignore his actions otherwise we will have to regret tomorrow. Do you get what I am saying? Purvi says, you can say anything, but I know Soham dada can never do anything wrong. Arjun says, I also hope that. He wipes her tears and makes her smile.
Balan calls home, but Archana picks up. Balan hangs and thinks how to contact Soham.
Purvi tells Arjun, aai called me so I am going there. Arjun is playing with Pari. He says, no one cares about us. Your mum is going, leaving us alone. Purvi says, there is nothing like that. My Pari has her father, and her father has Pari with him. She's leaving, but Arjun holds her hand and stops her. He gets up and back hugs her. Purvi says, leave me.. Pari is seeing. Arjun says, let her know how much I love you as well. Purvi says, aai will scold me. Arjun turns her and says she won't scold. He kisses her forehead. Purvi's phone rings. Purvi says I told you.. look she called again. Arjun disconnects and says, I am letting you go now, but tell me when you will return. Purvi says, after a year. Arjun says, will you be able to live 1 year without me and Pari? Purvi says, no. Arjun says, you will miss us in mehendi function too.. that is why I am saying, take me and Pari to mehendi function. We will sit in a corner. Purvi says, I can take you, but on condition.. you will have to put mehendi in your hand. Arjun agrees and says he will have 'P' written on his and Pari's Purvi says, i was just kidding. Arjun says okay.. we can't come there.. but we can at least drop you there. Purvi says okay. They leave with Pari.
Gauri's mother and relatives are waiting for Archana. Archana, Purvi, Teju, Ovi, Shalini come there with menedi. Gauri's mother welcomes them and then goes to call Gauri.
Purvi puts mehendi in Gauri's hand. Teju tells her to put Sachin's name there too. Teju then says she has some work and takes Purvi and Ovi with her. Archana tells Gauri that she knows everything about Soham and apologizes on his behalf. She says, he won't do anything.. I will handle him. Gauri looks at the window and Soham is standing there with an angry face. Gauri decides to stay quiet. Soham goes away. Gauri tells Archana, I will be right back. Gauri follows Soham and tries to stop him. Soham angrily grabs her hands and pushes her to the wall. He asks, why are you trying to stop me? Whatever happens to me.. why do you care? You don't love me, right? Then why are you trying to talk to me. You're trying to show sympathy for me? I don't want it. Gauri tells him to leave her. Archana comes there and sees them. She asks Soham to leave her, but Soham still doesn't leave. Archana says, how many times I explained to you that she is your to-be bhabhi. Leave her hands. Soham doesn't listen. Archana shouts and he finally leaves her hands. Gauri has hurt herself very badly and blood coming out. Soham leaves from there.
Gauri and Archana come back to the function. Gauri's mother asks what happened to her hand. Gauri says there was water and she slipped and her bangle broke. She continues, but Archanaji was there.. and she handled everything. Purvi is in a doubt. Gauri's mother takes her inside to apply medicine.

Inspired by the earlier posting of Milt Jackson, I thought a thread devoted to soulful? instrumentals could gain some traction
They were ubiquitous back in the 60's and 70's
Phil Upchurch " you can't sit down"
The Packers "Hole in the wall"
Stevie Wonder "easy going evening"
Not to mention the MFSB stuff, Herbie Hancock, Ramsey Lewis and many more.
But here's one right out of "left field" as you guys say

The Dhammapada is probably the most popular book in the Pāḷi Canon, and has had innumerable translations into most modern languages. The timeless ethical teachings contained in these verses are still considered relevant to people's lives, and they are presented as a guide to living well. Together with the commentarial stories that accompany the verses, along with the Jataka verses and stories, they have formed the backbone of the teaching of Buddhist ethics for well over 2,000 years. The verses and stories are well known in traditional Theravāda Buddhist cultures, and most born and brought up in those societies will be able to recite many of the verses, and relate the stories that go with them, even from a young age.
This is not at all surprising as the verses are often memorable, and the stories that accompany them equally so. They provided a framework for understanding what are good and bad actions, and what the consequences of both will be, which is central to the Buddhist teaching on ethics.
The collection consists of 423 verses, organised into twenty-six chapters, most of which are fairly short.

I've been following the reaction to the lawsuit against Choudhry Bikram with interest. Both from a yoga point of view and from a reputational risk to businesses point of view. In my last post about this, I said that I wouldn't stop going to classes because of something that a founder did and hoped that small businesses weren't affected by this.
Less than a week later and from this article by Ernesto Londono it seems that some people are considering it shameful to go to classes at all. I understand that the bikram community may support him and especially those who have been trained by him directly may feel that this is something that he would never do. I suppose that we need to wait and see the outcome of the court case.
Still it leads me to think, why would you stop going to a class that you enjoy, that you get benefit from, taught by a teacher who isn't accused or convicted of anything, because of something that the founder of something has done? It doesn't make sense to me.
One response to "Stopping Bikram Classes because of Choudhury Bikram"
[…] posted two blogs about the Bikram Yoga lawsuit, which can be found here and here. Today I found this article about the CNN interview with Bikram Choudhry's response to […]

The Power System Designer is a great tool for power developers. Since its launch last year, many engineers have benefited from the ability to develop flexible power chains in significantly less time.
Traditional tools require the designer to figure out the right combination of Front End and Point of Load power trains separately, compromising power density. These tools typically also fail to deal with the complexities of discrete power circuit layout, thermal management, packaging and cost.
The new Power System Designer tool makes it even easier to specify, analyze and configure complete, multi-output, power systems, with unprecedented performance, efficiency and density. The new enhancements give you greater capabilities to optimize and analyze the power chains you design, giving the ability to look at each output in turn. You can generate a bill of materials and output it to Excel and it's even possible to order the power components you need with just a couple of clicks.
For more information visit the Power System Designer page, watch the video or try it for yourself.

HUNTSVILLE, AL – Most Huntsville police cars have a number on the front license plate to identify the officer, but for the vehicles in the K-9 unit, the dogs' names are on the front of the car.
Names like Gunner, Stryker and Isis – three of the unit's nine dogs – identify the vehicle on the front plate because according to Officer Cory Upton, they're in charge.
The eight narcotics dogs one bomb dog are trained in Huntsville to detect drugs and bombs based on odor, something their handlers can't do.
"We teach them to associate odor to their toy," said officer and head trainer Mike Posey.
The K-9 unit trains dogs from all over the Southeast in a 13-week program at its facilities off of Johnson Road. Although the initial training happens during those weeks, the dogs are constantly being retrained to keep them on their toes.
For drug dogs, they're trained to scratch where they find a scent. Bomb dogs are trained to sit when they smell something, so as not to disturb whatever is in the bomb.
Huntsville's K-9 unit is the second oldest in the nation, active since 1963. The dogs are trained for obedience, agility and evidence recovery. They can find hidden persons, track scents and apprehend criminals.
Sgt. Jeff Huskey said the dogs are not pets. They're taken care of extremely well, and while they go home with their handlers, they're isolated and not considered family dogs, he said.
"They are a tool," said Upton. "I don't go home and let my kids play with my gun, so my kids don't play with the dog."
Untrained, a dog costs around $7,500. Trained, they can bring in as much as $15,000. Huntsville uses German Shepherd breeds from Europe. They're not the only dog used in K-9 units, but Huntsville's had good experiences with them, so they keep buying the breed.
This year alone, the Huntsville dogs have had between 30-50 felony apprehensions and recovered more than $150,000 worth of physical evidence," Huskey said.
Earlier in the year, a dog grabbed the arm of a gunman hiding in a river, forcing him to drop his weapon. The gunman later told police he had planned on shooting at officers as they came around a set of bushes.
"The dogs do save lives," Posey said.
Most shepherds can understand about 500 commands, and Huntsville's dogs are trained to understand 20-25.
"They're intelligent, loyal, good-tempered and dependable dogs," Posey said.
Upton added, "If they had thumbs, they'd be driving the car."
Huskey said sometimes, they're better than humans because they don't rationalize. They simply do what they're told.
Once an officer gets into the K-9 unit, they rarely leave.
"This is the best job in police work," Posey said.

Tina Fey Is Not Ready for the Golden Globes: 'We Haven't Written The Show Yet!'
The red carpet has been rolled out meaning Golden Globes prep is officially underway!
So what shenanigans are in store for us this Sunday? ET caught up with co-host Tina Fey at the Television Critics Association press tour to see what she and her epic bestie Amy Poehler have planned.
NEWS: ET's Entire Golden Globes Coverage
"We have no tricks up our sleeves," Tina says. "We haven't written the show yet. We're going to start meeting. What is today? Tuesday? It's Wednesday? We'll start meeting tonight."
Tina says that this will be the duo's third and final time hosting the Golden Globes, but she promises "it's going to be a good party."
"My favorite thing about it is doing it with Amy," Tina says. "My least favorite thing is, people don't know this, you have to sit on the lap of every Hollywood Foreign Press member and get your picture taken."
NEWS: How Jennifer Aniston Is Connected to Every Golden Globe Nominee in 6 Degrees or Less
While this may be a last for Tina and Amy, it will be a first for Viola Davis. In the past, the actress had been nominated for The Help and Doubt, but this year's nomination for How to Get Away with Murder will be her first for TV.
"It's all the same," Viola tells ET's Nischelle Turner about being nominated for TV versus film. "It's very nerve wracking."
Viola is a favorite to win Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama, and with that comes nerves.
"The people feel like you have to win, and then when you don't win, you feel like the biggest loser!" Viola explains. "And yet you don't really care. It's very confusing, but I have to say that no matter what, after your category is announced, all your nerves go away. You're ready to eat. You're ready to drink. You're ready to have fun."
NEWS: Reese Witherspoon, This Is Your Year
ET had a little fun with Viola, when we played back her very first ET interview from 1999. At the time, Viola was working on the TV drama City of Angels.
Watch the video to see what Viola had to say about diversity in television in 1999.

This is a time of profound change in American media. And it comes at a time of major challenges for the people and institutions we serve and report on.
Those challenges offer news media tremendous opportunities, and we're all seeking ways to take advantage of them. Done well, the result will be better journalism, reaching broader audiences. Done well, the result will be stronger contributions to our readers, our communities, and democracy.
It is no secret, though, that the media – in particular, print media – are planning how do their jobs better in the face of major challenges of their own. Technology – websites, mobile, social media, etc. – has given print readers many ways to get their information. Advertisers, too, have numerous options. So print advertising has declined, and ads on the media's own websites don't bring in the same revenue.
CITY has not been exempt from that trend. We have had only minimal print circulation drop over the past several years, and readership on our digital platforms – our website and e-newsletters – is growing. But we have begun to experience some of the same print revenue decline that newspapers throughout the country are experiencing.
As a result, we're taking a step none of us likes to take. We are reducing our staff by two, one person in editorial and one in sales. Both are talented, hard-working, dedicated people, and they will be missed, not only by us but also by the segments of the community they have served.
At the same time, however, we are embarking on a course that will result in a robust group of print and digital publications that will produce high-quality journalism and will serve the community in broad, dynamic ways for decades to come.
For the past six months, a group representing each department at CITY has been meeting weekly, assessing our challenges and making recommendations for our future.
CITY's structure, and its basic approach to news coverage, has been the same since it was founded 45 years ago. We continue to operate in the same departments – the same silos, to use the trendy, corporate word – that we had 45 years ago, when we published only a small, weekly neighborhood newspaper.
Our interdepartmental planning team, called the Future CITY team, has completed its recommendations, and we have begun to work with our full staff to execute those recommendations.
You will see those recommendations go into effect over the next several months, in the design of our print edition, for example, in our outreach in the community, and in new content and new treatment of content in print and online.
One example: last week's article on UR medical researchers Jonathan Stone and Ahmed Ghazi, researched and written by senior writer Tim Louis Macaluso with an additional layer of storytelling online: a video created and produced by a talented new member of our staff, Kevin Fuller.
There will be much more of this kind of journalism, enabling us to cover local news, the arts, and this community's amazing entertainment offerings in a much more dynamic, engaging way. The result will not be less news content but more, not weaker content but stronger, provided in a variety of platforms, very much including print.
We will also be reaching out to you, asking for your opinions, criticisms, and ideas.
Challenges are not easy. But the CITY staff has extraordinary talent and skill, and everyone here has an intense dedication to this community. We look forward to serving you and to covering this extraordinary community in new and stronger ways in the decades to come.
– Bill and Mary Anna Towler, co-publishers

Still not convinced? Here's a testimonial
"I signed up when I read that 80% of people visit a church because they were invited. My site is now full of opportunities for the congregation to invite people to every event we host such as the Sunday Service, our park service, gifts & talent night, youth group and many more. On top of this I use invitations to encourage my congregation to sign up for special music, service projects and to serve in parts of Sunday Service. I use them for birthday and anniversary greetings. All of these are available to myself and all of my people to invite, encourage, and remind others. The fee for our subscription is modest compared to the benefits and on occasion when I have a question or need help I have found the response time to be nearly immediate. ChurchInviter has been a great tool for Kingdom work and I highly recommend it to you and your congregation!"-Tim Smith

Nobody enjoys getting too itchy, but a lot of people that have eczema problems deal with itchiness all the time. This is a bothersome skin issue that causes the skin to get red and become inflamed. Luckily you can do a few things to help you with your eczema. Read on to learn more.
When thinking of eczema, it probably doesn't occur to you that your clothing can affect your condition. This is rather important to your comfort, however. Wear clothing that is loose fitting and made of breathable fabrics. Don't wear materials that are coarse like wool against your skin. Wash all clothing when you buy it new prior to wearing it using a very mild detergent, and rise them two times prior to the first wear.
Do not scratch. Of course, eczema can make you uncomfortable and cause this to happen. Scratching only wants to make you scratch even more. Scratching can damage the skin and lead to an infection. Use a combination of remedies, such as moisturizers, humidifiers, and cold compresses to improve your experience.
Wear clothes that do not cause additional irritation on your skin. There are certain fabrics that cause eczema to breakout more regularly. Cotton clothing is what you should wear when you have an eczema problem. Also, be sure to wash new articles of clothing prior to wearing them. Use a mild, unscented liquid detergent with no fabric softener to do this.
Make sure your home is always at a comfortable temperature. If it is too hot or too cold, then your eczema will flare-up. Utilize an A/C on hot days and a humidifier when the temperature drops. The humidifier keeps your skin from drying out too much.
Eczema is what can make a person have itchy and dry skin. Moisturizers can help make dryness and itching less severe. Though it may sound odd, moisturizers do not actually add hydration to skin. Actually, frequently applying moisturizers helps lock in a person's natural body oils and moisture. This stops the skin from being damaged or cracked in the future.
Make sure your nails are well-groomed. You know that you should not scratch eczema, but you may be doing it unconsciously while you sleep. Doing this can exacerbate your flareup, and therefore your nails need to stay short. Make sure you clean beneath your nails every day.
A warm bath is recommended for dealing with the itchiness of eczema. The water needs to be tepid. Sprinkle some colloidal oatmeal or baking soda in your bath. This helps soothe the skin. Another option is to add a half cup of bleach to your standard 40-gallon bath as this is thought to help eliminate bacteria on your skin.
Learn what triggers your eczema. You may have to look at the colognes, soap, even your laundry soap, all the way to the material you wear to determine what causes problems. Other things that can cause eczema to flare include stress and sweating. After you discover which things trigger eczema flareups, do your best to avoid them.
As you are aware, eczema can be a very debilitating condition if nothing is done to treat it. Skin that feels irritated and itchy is miserable and can make daily life tough. If you have eczema, the advice here will help you find relief.

One of the most promising advances in cancer treatment is the use of biological markers or biomarkers to identify the therapies a particular cancer may or may not respond to. A new study undertaken by the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) will look at whether additional radiation therapy is beneficial for patients with a specific subtype of breast cancer called luminal A.
"Studies have shown that radiotherapy to the chest wall and lymph-nodes following mastectomy, and radiotherapy to regional nodes after breast-conserving surgery, reduces the risk of recurrence and breast cancer mortality in women with node-positive breast cancer," explained Dr Wendy R. Parulekar, Senior Investigator at CCTG.
While these benefits are important, there is a large group of breast cancer patients who will likely not see cancer come back and therefore would not benefit from regional radiotherapy. Biomarkers are increasingly used to identify breast cancers that are likely to recur, or not respond to treatment. It is understood that the luminal A breast cancer subtype has a low risk of recurrence and is less likely to respond to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This suggests that regional radiotherapy may not be necessary for these patients.
To answer this question, the MA.39 international multicentre randomized trial is underway to determine if regional radiotherapy could be safely omitted in women with 1 to 3 positive axillary lymph- nodes and luminal A breast cancer subtype.
The Principal Investigator of this clinical trial is Dr Tim Whelan, a radiation oncologist at the McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences in Hamilton, Ontario. The rationale for the trial is based on observations arising from the CCTG's MA.20 study of regional radiation therapy in early breast cancer (NCTNCT00005957).
The MA39 trial will be supported by the Canadian Institute of Health Research, the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute and the US National Cancer Institute. Recruitment into the study is anticipated to commence in Q3 or Q4 2017.
"The study concept has also been presented to the Breast International Group (BIG), which has expressed enthusiasm for this trial. BIG member groups will be surveyed for their interest and ability to participate in the trial," said Dr Parulekar. Assuming that this initial interest is confirmed through the survey, the trial will be run by CCTG under the BIG umbrella. The luminal A subtype of breast cancer accounts for up to 40% of patients with node-positive breast cancer. If regional radiotherapy could be avoided in this group of patients, it would have substantial benefits, not only for women with breast cancer and their families but also for the healthcare system at large.

Mashambanzou Safaris Acquires Additional Concession in Mozambique
Justin Jones, Assistant Editor
Operator Grant Taylor of Mashambanzou Safaris has signed for the Mahimba Game Reserve, a privately owned, unfenced concession in east-central Mozambique. Mahimba covers roughly 100,000 acres on the northern bank of the Zambezi River. Taylor contacted us with more information about the concession.
"J. P. Kleinhans ran the area very successfully for many years, but the owners wanted to have it occupied by an operator based in Mozambique, and they chose us. We will be better able to conduct maintenance and antipoaching year-round."
According to Taylor, Mahimba is known as one of the Zambezi delta's prime areas for buffalo and sable. Other species available include bushbuck, waterbuck, crocodile, reedbuck, bushpig and warthog. Moist soil during much of the year keeps predator populations very low, allowing for high game numbers.
"The area is somewhat shot out of solitary buffalo bulls at present, but it will support a quota of 12 animals while the age structure of the herds rebuilds. We would like to get to a point in the next few years where we are harvesting only bachelor bulls and leaving the breeding herds alone. The same applies to sable.
"The area also has numerous hippo and a population of some 200 elephant. Fortunately, Mozambique has a CITES quota for hippo again, and we would like to get a quota for two or three animals in 2019. For elephant, we plan to harvest one bull every two years when we have the quota."
The current quota includes 12 buffalo, 10 sable, 12 bushbuck, 12 waterbuck, 15 reedbuck, 12 warthog, 10 bushpig and 15 crocodile. Crocodile are hunted in tidal rivers at low tide, and Taylor says that there are large trophies to be found.
"Hunting for most species is best between Aug. and Nov. The area is not as wet as the concessions on the south bank of the Zambezi River in Marromeu."
Taylor is excited about adding this area to his operation, which includes six other free-range areas in Mozambique, most of which are a short drive apart. "Our contract is for 10 years, with the option to roll over if we comply with the agreement, and I hope to make a long-term investment in the area. Since the area is classified as a game reserve, the local population may not live there. The northern and southern boundaries are large rivers that join on the eastern boundary, which helps limit the presence of people and poaching.
"We maintain a full-time, year-round antipoaching staff of 22. Mozambique recently has amended laws to make poaching a criminal offense rather than a misdemeanor, and we have seen a dramatic reduction of bushmeat poaching in all of our areas as a result.
"I managed to spend some time in Mahimba late last year and surveyed the area by helicopter to get a sense of game numbers. Kleinhans and I have kept in contact, and he will continue to bring some of his clients to the area for the next few years. His knowledge and experience in the area is invaluable, and we're happy to be working closely with him. The camp is in great shape and will be up to the high standard of all our camps."

This building housed Circle Community Center, located in the Austin Neighborhood of Chicago from 1975 until 1985.
In the early 1970's the Austin community on Chicago's far west side was in the midst of major transition. The neighborhood's white residents were fleeing the area as African-Americans moved further west into Austin. Real estate values were plummeting, community services were disappearing, drugs and prostitution were becoming commonplace.
At the same time a group of twenty-something's from Circle Evangelical Free Church (Pastor David Mains) were hearing the Lord call them to live out their faith in a new way. They formed an intentional Christian community called the Austin Community Fellowship. They shared resources, including housing, and shared a vision of impacting a declining community with God's love.
Glen Kehrein was hired by Circle Church to head up the operations at the Circle Community Center which was born after about a year after their arrival in the Austin neighborhood. They began in 1974 in a storefront with a drop-in youth center. Circle Church purchased the former Catholic rectory for St Lucy parish in 1975 for CCC since they had outgrown their storefront.
Soon joining Glen were professionals from Austin Community Fellowship who started other arms of ministry. Here is a 1975 photo showing a number of the founders:
Here is the sign that hung on the building for many years which enumerated the entities that occupied the building:
Circle Christian Health Center
Central Austin Counseling Center
Central Austin Legal Clinic became the Austin Christian Law Center which became the Austin Circle Law Center (which no longer exists). Central Austin Counseling Center and Circle Christian Health Center became Circle Family Care became Circle Family Healthcare Network which no longer exists. The Circle Christian Development Corporation had an office there but didn't get on the sign.
In 1983 Raleigh Washington, was commissioned to plant a church in the Austin Neighborhood of Chicago. He was introduced to Glen Kehrein who said the new church, Rock of Our Salvation Evangelical Free Church, could meet in the conference room at CCC since Raleigh didn't want to be a store-front church.
Every inch of the building was used but, as Glen would see another area of need, he would want to try to meet that need too. The ministries were growing in size. The ministries were growing in number. The conference room couldn't hold all the people for the Rock church services. There was no doubt about it–440 N. Mayfield was too small.
In 1984, Glen became aware that the former Siena High School campus was for sale. Abandoned and stripped, the buildings had seriously deteriorated and were becoming a detriment in the community. Pastor Raleigh (Rock Church), Glen Kehrein (CUM), and individual donors partnered to get the buildings renovated enough to occupy.
On the hottest day of 1985, Circle Community Center and Rock church moved to their new location on the corner of Central and Washington. The name (Circle Community Center) didn't seem to fit the organization and the many possibilities that were opening up, so it became Circle Urban Ministries.
The atmosphere at CUM was different than CCC. Everybody who worked at CCC knew almost everybody else–it was a nice-sized group. Breakfast meetings were held a few doors west on Lake Street at Talaber's restaurant. It was close to Austin Community Fellowship buildings and many employees lived nearby. Employees could walk home for lunch if they wanted to get a little exercise and a break from work.
CCC was a nice place to visit, although a little tight on space–even the hallways held a few chairs that served as little waiting rooms. The reception booth was straight ahead when you walked in–it held the building receptionist and the medical office staff. The 'large' waiting area that was on the left as you came in the front door was shared by all the ministries and was usually crowded. The stairs to the second and third floors were narrow and carried a lot of traffic. The medical care was on the west side of the first floor. The attorneys were at the west side of the second floor with the Law Library (aka conference room) on the east side. The youth program was in the basement. The counselors hung out on the third floor, as did Glen.
In the new CUM building, there was room for everyone to grow. There were new ministries and room to spread out. Now you could visit one ministry without seeing any of the other ones. There was a big reception area that could hold lots of people.
But it never felt the same.

I have posted this same thread in the shocks and suspension section of the forum as I think that section more suits this thread. Here's a link http://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspen...ml#post9761985
Hello everyone. So I've been having some problems with my rear shock. It's a 2012 Rock Shox Monarch RT3. Despite all of the good reviews, I could never get the shock set to proper sag for my weight.
The shock is a 2012 (I think) Rock Shox RT3
Says ML (M in blue box and L in red box)
My bike frame is a 2010 Motobecane Fantom Pro DS
I weigh 190lbs
I've been searching around the forums and found some articles all about the monarch and leverage ratios etc. Someone once told me that the Fantom DS frame has a leverage ratio of 3.33:1 in the 5in travel setting. What are the leverage ratios for the 4in and 3in settings? How can I calculate this? How do I interpret the chart in this article in the first place? I also don't know the equivalent ABCD tune for my shock as it only says ML
Somewhere I read that leverage ratio is calculated by taking the travel over shock travel. If that's the case. then I presume that I need to convert the inches to mm. However, if I take 5in and convert to mm I get 127, then 127/165 does not equal 3.33. So I'm doing something wrong there.
Anyways, so that's me trying to think about things outloud. My problem is that I have to top the shock out at 250-260psi (I always tend to lose psi when I disconnect the shock pump) to even get 30-35% sag in both the 5in and 4in travel settings. That doesn't seem right as the shock is rated to only go to 275psi. I would guess that I have a low tune shock and need a medium tune shock. I just wanted to know all about the leverage ratios and what not so I could prove it to myself.
Is there any way to tune the shock using the IFP pressure to suit my weight? I found a nice article all about that, but I really don't know much about the whole theory behind IFP. http://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspen...ge-524727.html
Do I need a new shock? In the 3in travel setting I can get 25% sag with about 190psi. I want to run in the 5in travel since I tend to like jumping off stuff. If my frame can allow more travel why not right? If not 5in travel at least 4in.
The attached photo is of the shock in the 3in travel setting. the shock is current flipped upside down and in the 5in travel setting.

What is the ASK Curriculum?
ASK is a sixteen-part interactive curriculum based on Ravi Zacharias's four-fold test for a coherent worldview.
It is divided into four modules:
Origin – Where do we come from?
Meaning – Why are we here?
Morality – What's right and what's wrong?
Destiny – Where are we going?
These four modules and their corresponding questions are the building blocks of Ravi Zacharias's four-fold test for a coherent worldview.
These four questions must be answered in two ways:
They must correspond to truth – by either empirical or logical reasoning
Coherence – one answer to a question must not contradict the other
RZIM firmly believes the Judeo-Christian worldview is the only worldview which stands up to these tests and provides corresponding answers that are truthful and coherent answers that stand the test of time.

I homeschool and I would love to know how to get the ASL curriculum. The "Buy Ask" link at the top of your page will not function for me.
Thank you!

The White House Wants Civic Hackers for New Round of Presidential Innovation Fellowship
BY Miranda Neubauer | Tuesday, March 12 2013
There are five days left to apply for the second round of the Presidential Innovation Fellows program, which will continue work on projects from last year's first round and work to develop new projects.
The program is geared towards innovators and entrepreneurs from the private sector, non-profits and academia who are interested in working on government projects that take an innovative approach to promoting job creation, saving lives and saving taxpayer money.
The first round began last August with 18 inaugural fellows working on the MyUSA project, an effort to develop a new prototype for how citizens can access government services and information, RFP-EZ, an effort to make it easier for small technology business to bid on government contacts, the Blue Button project, an effort to improve access to health information for veterans and other Americans, the Better than Cash project, an effort assisting in the transition to electronic mobile money for international development assistance payments, and Open Data initiatives.
The second round will focus on nine projects. Four of the projects will be the next phases of the Open Data initiatives, the MyData initiatives, including the Blue Button Project, the RFP-EZ and the MyUSA projects.
The new projects include the following, as a recent blog post by White House CTO Todd Park and CIO Steven VanRoekel outlined:
-- an effort to collaboratively build technology tools for disaster response and recovery, and ensure they are operational in advance of their need, echoing New York City's new Code Corps program.
-- an effort to work with government and industry to create new standards for inter operable, dynamic, and efficient "smart" cyber-physical systems or an "industrial Internet" that combine distributed sensing, control and data analytics and could help grow the American economy and create jobs.
-- an effort to upgrade the financial accounting systems of federal agencies so they are more nimble, modular, scaleable and cost-effective.
-- an effort to develop a suite of tools that can help the federal workforce respond more quickly and efficiently to national priorities
-- and a Development Innovation Ventures effort to help the U.S. government identify, test and scale "breakthrough solutions to the world's toughest problems," building on a a competitive financing effort by the US Agency for International Development that accepts proposals from startups or established businesses, social enterprises, academic institutions or non-profits for small investments in promising approaches and technologies and larger investments in methods that are showing results.
In their blog post, Park and VanRoekel note that while some of the projects require coding and technology skills, not all do. "We are also looking for gifted and accomplished change agents with skills in user experience design, product management, project management, business development, operations reengineering, and more," they right. "In a nutshell, we are looking for people who can help make big things happen rapidly to advance the public good."
