If you encounter Sanskrit in America, you're likely to find it in yoga studios, Hindu temples, and misspelled tattoos, in that order. If you encounter Sanskrit scholarship in America, you're likely to find it littered with men, a patriarchal lineage rivaling that of any Sanskrit epic. Though there are a number of prominent women Sanskritists today, they have always been considered the exception to the rule.
My research in the Radcliffe College Archives at the Schlesinger Library, however, shows that this was not always the case. As in so many scholarly disciplines, from computer science to astronomy, women were present at the very origin of Sanskrit study in the United States. Nowhere is this more clear than in the uneasy but fruitful relationship between Harvard professors and Radcliffe students at the turn of the 20th century.
The study of Sanskrit at Harvard was coeval with, and in some ways central to, the rise of the modern American university. What is less known is that it was also present at the origins of Radcliffe—or the Annex, as it was known prior to its incorporation—where Abigail Leach studied the subject with James Greenough in 1879. When Charles Rockwell Lanman was hired as Wales Professor of Sanskrit in 1880, he inherited Greenough's commitment to teaching Radcliffe students.
This commitment extended through the end of his career in 1926. In the course of nearly 50 years, over a dozen women studied Sanskrit and Pali with Lanman. With the help of the Schlesinger Library staff, I was able to reconstruct many of these women's lives from the student files, deceased alumnae folders, and handwritten letters preserved in the archives. Some examples demonstrate the range of their life experiences.
Annie Barber Clarke, Class of 1882, worked as a research assistant for five years in Cambridge for Henry Clarke Warren, independent scholar of Buddhism and founder of the Harvard Oriental Series. This involved reading and editing manuscripts in four different South and Southeast Asian scripts. Clarke was involved in suffragist activity in the late 19th century and advocated that Harvard degrees be granted to Radcliffe graduates. Her translations of the Sanskrit poetry she studied survive among her papers.
Catharine Bird Runkle, Class of 1886, appealed for a course in Sanskrit even though she was the only student. According to a letter by her friend Anna Carter, Class of 1888, "[A]fter a while it was given to her and she said that when she wanted something she kept on wanting it until she got it." Runkle's co-authored translation from the German of Paul Deussen's Outline of the Vedānta System of Philosophy remains a classic in the study of Indian philosophy. Moreover, as is apparent from Lanman's gradebook, she consistently outperformed her co-translator James Haughton Woods, who would go on to teach in philosophy and Asian studies at Harvard.
Sarah Wells Brooks, Class of 1892, like Annie Barber Clarke, studied Sanskrit and worked for H.C. Warren, but also harbored an interest in the natural world, studying zoology and landscaping during her time at Radcliffe. Many years later, the records show her living in difficult conditions on a farm that she owned in Concord. Her simultaneous love for Sanskrit and the outdoors remind one of that other, more famous Concord resident, Henry David Thoreau. But her death in poverty and obscurity contrasts sharply with his presence in the American consciousness.
That none of these women was allowed to advance in a scholarly career in the subject says as much about our time as theirs. For the very fact that this is an unknown history demonstrates that the intellectual inheritance of the field—now in its modern incarnation as South Asian studies—is conditioned by occlusion and absence. When inequalities of race and gender continue to feature in the classroom and the conference room, it is necessary to reckon with the history of scholarship. One hopes that telling a more complete story about its past may guide its future direction.
Radcliffe Courses of Instruction are available online from HOLLIS catalog record links.
Anand Venkatkrishnan is preceptor in Sanskrit in the Department of South Asian Studies at Harvard University. His book in progress, "Love in the Time of Scholarship," examines the relationship of bhakti, religion as lived affect, with philosophy as intellectual practice. His research at large concerns the social history of intellectual life, both in early modern India and in the modern scholarly study of South Asia.

The occurrence of a stroke brings about an abrupt change in the life situation for the individual and immediate family members. The physical impairments and emotional responses that follow a stroke have profound effects that impact everyday living, interpersonal relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Numerous studies have shown that individuals report a marked decline in sexual function after a stroke. The focus of this study is on the pathophysiological and emotional factors that contribute to this decline and how these factors are evaluated and managed by health professionals during the phase of early poststroke rehabilitation.

Suzanne Somers And Hormone Optimization With Bio Te
This doctors personal experience with BioTe hormone replacement.
What Patients say about Bio Te Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone optimization is not new
Hormone optimization is not new. Almost 80 years of data show that BHRT can prevent of age-related illnesses in men and women. BHRT can ease symptoms that often accompany declining hormone levels and help patients experience increased mental clarity, a greater ability to lose weight, improve muscle strength, better sleep, experience fewer mood swings, and have more energy. Additionally, hormone optimization can help protect the brain, bones, breasts, and heart and can increase bone mass up to 8.3% per year.
BioTE® uses cardio-activated pellets about the size of a grain of rice which are inserted just below the surface of the skin. This allows a patient to receive hormones consistently in the same way the body releases them naturally for up to six months.

Ease The Tension Of Traveling With Children By Following Helpful Tips From A Mom And Travel Expert
We know, "getting there is half the fun" but to a stressed out, maxed out mother, that isn't always the case. But there are tricks to making the trip not only tolerable, but also fun, whether you're traveling by car or plane! Grainne Kelly, founder ofBubbleBumand child travel expert, has some tips from easing the concerns of traveling with children. Follow her advice, and you never know, it might be the highlight of your year! Kelly's suggestions for traveling in general, no matter which method you go, include:
- Prepare activities. Getting there really can be half the fun if you're prepared, so plan ahead with some engaging activities for the road so you can help keep boredom at bay. You must have some activities prepared in advance! Fun games include "I Spy", the "alphabet game" and "hangman."
- Box of tricks: Start by building your own "box of tricks" which is simply a collection of items needed for the activities and games that your family enjoys. Use a small box that will fit easily under the seat, or even just a canvas bag.
- Have lots of snacks
When traveling by car, Kelly's specific suggestions include:
- Planning for stops. Don't be fooled into thinking your kids can drive as long as you can. They will hungry, need to stop for the bathroom and will be just plain bored. Plan for stopping at a park for lunch or find gas stations with gift shops.
- Be happy. Prepare yourself mentally as well. It might not always seem like a picnic, but your attitude will set the tone for the rest of your passengers. Realize that your vacation begins in your driveway, not at your final destination. The minute you all get into the car is when the adventure with your family starts.
When traveling by plane, Kelly's specific suggestions include:
- Letting kids carry their own bags so that you aren't shouldering the entire load.
- Checking strollers and booster seats at the gate so they are there for you when you exit the plane.
- Moving sidewalks are safer than escalators and can provide hours of entertainment (just make sure your child is old enough to handle a moving sidewalk as well).
- Buckle escape artists in to a stroller or toddler harness.
- Bring your BubbleBum onboard. Your child will feel more comfortable and will sit better in a seat that is made for them.
- To eliminate ear pain, have child suck on a bottle, pacifier or gum during take-off and landing

Alert Snippets
There are no settings for these snippets. You can use this for various type of alerts on your pages. The icons are required to be in the alerts and there is no way to get rid of them. The Alert snippet is not a table transformation, so you will not see the name of the snippet at the top of the table.
The Alerts typically have specifc reasons on why you would want to use each alert type. Just above each alert type, we display typical use cases for each type of alert.
One example of when you might want to use the Success Alert is if you have your LDP forms redirecting to another page on successful submission. You could add the Success Alert Snippet to that page to let them know their form was submitted successfully.
The green success alert typically indicates a successful or positive action. Use this alert for messages that convey success like form submission completions or if something has been fixed. One examples is Information Technology has reported that the WKU website is online and running smoothly. Another example is could be Your form has been submitted successfully. Someone should be in contact with you within 3 - 5 business days. Thank you.
The blue info alert indicates a neutral informative change or action. Use this alert to display information such as a change to business hours or a new feature. One example of this message could be New snippets are now available in OU Campus. Check them out!
The yellow warning alert indicates caution should be taken with this action. Use this alert to warn users of something they may need to know before proceeding or that needs more attention than just information. One example would be This information is for faculty, if you are staff please visit another page.
The red danger alert indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action. Use this alert for serious messages like a cancellation or closure. you can also use this alert to indicate that something has been removed or expired.

Ask Mark Jahnke how he's doing, and he will tell you he's living the dream. And while every attorney knows on some days that might ring sarcastic, Mark regularly means it.
For him, the dream is the opportunity to work with clients to help them achieve their dreams. Because clients recognize that his level of care and concern is something unique, Mark is often asked to serve on client boards, advisory groups or in other capacities that allow him to work hand-in-hand with management to achieve business goals or navigate challenges and complexities.
While day-to-day client counseling frequently occupies a significant portion of Mark's workday, his reputation has been built on and staked to the special skill he brings to advising clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other major corporate transactions. Several times Mark has represented one party in a deal only to be hired later by the other party in connection with a separate transaction.
A long-time client describes Mark as "the kind of lawyer that every CEO dreams of hiring," and the lawyer he would want on his side of the table in any negotiation. As that client recognized, Mark does not pretend to be an expert in every area, but involves the right people as needed to help clients avoid unnecessary legal adventures. This echoes Mark's recognition in Chambers USA as an "astute business lawyer and negotiator who is very easy to deal with," and who will "fight for the things that are important with great practical judgment and a sense of humor."
As the President and CEO of Katz Teller, Mark is not only the face of the firm, but a force that drives us forward. Mark's ability to bring out the best in those around him, along with his leadership and judgment, keep us focused on achieving the level of service our clients expect and deserve.

What is EC3?
Our EC3 (Empowered Collaborative Commerce Cloud) is a blockchain-based platform that provides an end-to-end solution for supply chains.
Our EC3 (Empowered Collaborative Commerce Cloud) is a blockchain-based platform that provides an end-to-end solution for supply chains.
EC3 allows for the secure sharing of data across organizations in a blockchain network. At the same time, EC3 offers the selective obfuscation of sensitive data, all the way down to the field level. These two characteristics form the basis of a virtually frictionless supply chain ecosystem in which enterprises are able to share information with one another for optimal coordination while meeting the business need to protect proprietary data.
Each organization on the blockchain network is given its own CRP (Collaborative Resource Planning) system with multiple services. Because management of a blockchain is decentralized, members of supply chain ecosystems can easily onboard onto one or multiple blockchains using a CRP and take advantage of the functionality across these networks.
To ensure full end-to-end coverage of supply chain operations, we equipped our platform with our Popcodes traceability and Brackets smart contracts technologies, which can be deployed in applications and application modules fitted to specific use cases. Based on just these two core products, EC3 is able to put letters of credit on the blockchain, scale Inventory Control & Finance (ICF) across the entire production process, establish a market for credit insurance and marine/cargo insurance, perform a real-time audit of supply chain transactions, track the full provenance of goods and velocity of the production and distribution process, facilitate programmatic buying and collaborative planning among supply chain partners and more. The result is greater efficiency, capacity and control across the supply chain.
To support data privacy needs across the network, Skuchain has Zero Knowledge Collaboration® technology that implements sophisticated access controls directly on the blockchain ledger.
Each EC3 network starts with one identity server for access controls and one HyperLedger Fabric orderer with multiple peers, channels and organizations.
EC3 bridges cutting-edge blockchain technology with current enterprise IT realities for seamless adoption of our solutions across a supply chain. On the application level, we are able to take in data from outside systems, including existing ERPs, legacy industrial scanners, standalone third party supply chain management tools and even Excel spreadsheets. Blockchain-specific infrastructure needs, such as bootstrapping a network and adding policies, organizations and customized smart contracts are baked into our application stack.
Instead of having to separately choose a cloud environment, an underlying blockchain protocol and a set of applications, enterprises have access to an integrated offering of all three in the applications themselves. This significantly reduces the complexity of adoption for buyers and enables suppliers to onboard with one click.
EC3 was built on top of Hyperledger Fabric, the most robust protocol for enterprise blockchains. However, the platform was designed to be blockchain agnostic and has been ported onto Ethereum and Corda.
Partner has a multi-tenant account or a node on EC3 Customer's private network.
Partner sets up their own private network and can onboard their existing partners to that network.
Partner establishes a connection to a wider private network run by Skuchain or a public network and can exchange documents with other partners on the network.
Either or both of these upgrades are possible from a multi-tenancy or node.
Yes! Skuchain has a developer portal that allows developers and business analysts to customize features and build new applications on top of EC3.
Take a look at our architecture diagram below and let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com where you'd like to build!

How to fix Wi-Fi range issues on Windows 10
Wireless networks are great if you don't want to deal with wires and you want to keep your workspace neat.
Unfortunately, number of Windows 10 users reported Wi-Fi range issues on Windows 10, and today we're going to fix solve those issues.
Many users reported shorter Wi-Fi range after updating to Windows 10, and this can be a big problem, especially if you rely on Wi-Fi network for internet access.
If you use wireless networks on regular basis, we advise you to have a look at our guide on how to protect your Windows 10 device on public Wi-Fi network.
We've written extensively on Wi-Fi connection issues. Check out this guide for more information.
How to solve Wi-Fi range issues on Windows 10
- Update your network adapter drivers
- Set the wireless adapter to work in maximum performance mode
- Check if your wireless card is working correctly
- Change the Sensibility value
- Disable Bluetooth
- Set antenna diversity to Auxiliary
- Check if your card is properly installed
- Update your router firmware
- Change the router frequency
- Change the router wireless channel
- Change your router or Wi-Fi adapter antenna
- Wireless Access Point
- Make sure nothing disrupts Wi-Fi signal
- Buy a Wi-Fi extender
- Replace your modem/router
Solution 1 – Update your network adapter drivers
In most cases, issues with Wi-Fi range are caused by an outdated driver, therefore it's advised to update your network adapter drivers.
To do that, just visit your motherboard or network adapter manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers.
Some users are also suggesting to uninstall your currently installed Wi-Fi drivers and use the default drivers instead. To do that, follow these instructions:
- Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.
- Locate your wireless adapter in Device Manager, right click it and choose Uninstall.
- Once your driver has been uninstalled, restart your computer. This will install the default driver and your problem should be fixed.
Updating drivers manually is risky! Choose a safer way and install one of these driver updating tools!
Solution 2 – Set the wireless adapter to work in maximum performance mode
By default, wireless adapters are set to work in medium power saving mode on Windows 10, and this can sometimes cause issues with Wi-Fi range.
-In order to fix this problem, it's advised that you change the Wi-Fi adapter power settings to Maximum performance. To do that, just follow these simple steps:
- Press Windows Key + S and enter Power Options. Select Power Options from the menu.
- Once the Power Options window opens, locate your current plan and click Change plan settings.
- Click on Change advanced power settings.
- Locate Wireless Adapter Settings and set the Power Saving Mode to Maximum Performance.
- Click Apply and OK to save changes.
Alternatively, you can just switch to High performance mode in Power Options and Power Saving Mode will be automatically set to Maximum Performance.
Bear in mind that using High Performance mode will drain your battery faster.
Solution 3 – Check if your wireless card is working correctly
Sometimes there might be certain issues with Wi-Fi range if there's a hardware problem with your wireless adapter.
Users reported that loose wire can sometimes create these sorts of issues, and if that's the case you might want to replace your Wi-Fi card with a new one.
Solution 4 – Change the Sensibility value
Some users are claiming that changing the Sensibility value can fix the Wi-Fi range issues on Windows 10. To change Sensibility value, you need to do the following:
- Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
- Once Device Manager opens locate your Wi-Fi adapter, right click it and choose Properties.
- Go to Advanced tab and locate Roaming Sensitivity Level, Roaming Aggressiveness or Roam Tendency to Highest or Aggressive.
- Set Transmit Power or Transmit Power Level to Highest.
- Select Antenna Diversity and set it to Auto.
- In Band Preference choose Prefer 802.11a if your wireless network is using 5GHz frequency or set it to Prefer 802.11g/b if your wireless network is using 2.4GHz frequency.
- Save changes and check if the problem is resolved. You might have to restart your computer before the changes take effect.
Solution 5 – Disable Bluetooth
Few users are claiming that you can fix the Wi-Fi range issues by disabling your Bluetooth adapter. To do that, you need to follow these steps:
- Open Device Manager. You can do that by pressing Windows Key + X and choosing Device Manager from the menu.
- Once Device Manager starts, go to Bluetooth section and expand it.
- Locate your Bluetooth adapter, right click it and select Disable from the menu.
Bluetooth settings are missing? Here's how to solve the problem in no time!
Solution 6 – Set antenna diversity to Auxiliary
According to few users, setting antenna diversity to auxiliary fixes this issue. To do that, you need to do the following:
- Open Device Manager and locate your wireless adapter, right click it and choose Properties.
- Go to Advanced tab and set Antenna diversity to Auxiliary.
- Save changes and check if the issue is resolved.
Solution 7 – Check if your card is properly installed
Sometimes your Wi-Fi card might not be properly installed, so check if it's placed properly in the PCI slot. In addition, make sure that the screws are tight or else you might experience certain issues.
Solution 8 – Update your router firmware
In certain cases updating your firmware can fix the problems with Wi-Fi range. Updating your router firmware isn't the simplest procedure, so make sure to check your router manual for detailed instructions.
Bear in mind that if you don't update your router firmware properly you can cause permanent damage to the router.
Don't know how to update your router firmware? Have no fear! check out this guide to learn how!
Solution 9 – Change the router frequency
Modern routers use 5GHz frequency, so if your router supports it, make sure that you use it. By using 5GHz frequency you'll encounter less interference and thus stronger signal.
In order to switch to 5GHz frequency, check your router manual for detailed instructions.
Solution 10 – Change the router wireless channel
If there are multiple wireless networks available, sometimes there might be interference, especially if all of these networks are using the same channel.
To fix this issue, it's important for you to set up your wireless channel manually. To see how to do that, check your router's instruction manual.
Solution 11 – Change your router or Wi-Fi adapter antenna
Many routers and Wi-Fi adapters come with switchable antenna, therefore if you're having any Wi-Fi range issues, you might want to consider replacing your Wi-Fi antenna with a stronger one.
If you're buying a new Wi-Fi antenna, make sure you get the high-gain antenna for best performance and Wi-Fi range.
Solution 12 – Use Wi-Fi repeater or Wireless Access Point
If you have range issues with your Wi-Fi connection, you might want to consider using Wi-Fi repeater or Wireless Access Point.
Wi-Fi repeater is a simpler and more straightforward solution which is perfect for your home while Wireless Access Point comes with more advanced features and it might be more suitable for your workspace.
Solution 13 – Make sure nothing disrupts Wi-Fi signal
Your Wi-Fi range issues may also be caused by particular items or pieces of hardware that are interfering with the Wi-Fi signal.
For example, it is a well-known fact that microwave ovens disrupt Wi-Fi signal.
Remove any pieces of equipment such as baby monitors, garage door openers, kitchen appliance and so on that might be blocking or limiting your Wi-Fi signal range.
Solution 14 – Buy a Wi-Fi extender
Well, if nothing worked, you can try using a Wi-Fi extender. Check out this list of the 21 best Wi-Fi extenders for your Windows 10 computer.
These devices will boost your Wi-Fi signal and hopefully solve the range issues that you're experiencing.
Solution 15 – Replace your modem/router
Obsolete hardware may also cause Wi-Fi range issues. So, if you are using an old modem or router, maybe it's time to replace it with a new one.
Wireless networks have their advantages, but they can experience issues with range. If you have Wi-Fi range issues on Windows 10, feel free to try one of our solutions.
Eliminate wireless router problems for good by choosing the best product from our fresh list!

Click on location for driving directions. Click the optimal wind directions for current wind speed. Information and pictures are updated regularly. Please link to this site if you use this content.
Manistee Rideable Wind Directions – NE,NNE,N,NW,W,SW,W
Manistee is a great location for kiteboarding and judging by the lack of crowds it may very well be Michigan's best kept secret. There are two main public beaches in the city(1st street, and 5th avenue) and access to them is quick and easy. The Lake Michigan landscape is filled with picturesque clay cliffs and sand dunes. What you will not see are factories and lots of houses. Homeowners on the lake are very laid back in Manistee and you aren't going to see "Private Beach" signs along the shoreline here. The only time Manistee beaches get "crowded" is during the 4th of July holiday but even then you will find plenty of space to launch and land.
Nordhouse Dunes (Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee
Look to the east from Lake Michigan on a hot summer day and you'll feel like you're in a desert with the large uninhabited sand dunes lining the landscape. Take plenty of water. It's around a mile hike to the lake from the parking lot and there is a nominal parking fee. A great spot to camp and kite if you enjoy roughing it. Bring some TP because there is no public bathrooms or outhouses.
Federal Park(Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee – Rideable Wind Directions N, NW, W, SW, SSW
Federal park is one of the more remote locations to kite in Manistee county It's a great family campground and get's pretty busy in the summer time. Federal Park is adjacent to Nordhouse dunes. I've had good success here on a SW.
Magoon Creek Natural Area(Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee – Rideable Wind Directions N, NNW, NW, W, WSW
Park in the lot at the end of the gravel road on top of the bluff. Hike down the old two track to the creek and head out to the beach. The highlight here is the park area which includes grills and tables on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Young ones will enjoy the creek and others might like hiking the trails in the park to an old farm. Good spot to take family and friends for a picnic or BBQ and still be able to score some riding.
Sundling Park(Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee – Rideable Wind Directions N, NW, W, SW, SSW
Sundling park is a few miles south of Manistee It's a small park and a short hike to the water. The beach is not very wide but it's a good landing place for a downwinder from 1st street or if you are looking to get out in Manistee on a more southerly wind.
1st Street Beach(Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee – Rideable Wind Directions NE, NNE, N, NW, W, WSW, SW
Head to 1st street beach on a North wind and park in the lot closest to the pier. Usually there is a lot of open space near the pier that is good for launch. On a north wind the L shaped south pier creates large swells with long spacing in between and surprisingly little chop. These are some of the best waves you will find on the lakeshore and is great for freestyle or surf style riding. One of the few places on the shoreline where a NE is rideable and not offshore. However, a NE can be a little unpredictable and more gusty.
5th Avenue Beach(Map) – Current Conditions In Manistee – Rideable Wind Directions SW, WSW, W
This beach is wider and longer than 1st street. The contour of the lakeshore makes this beach off limits for a south wind but it's great for a south west or west wind. The north pier at 5th avenue beach is one of two in Michigan with a catwalk and provides a nice backdrop while kiting. You need a STRONG Southwest(25 knots +) or a WSW to West wind to ride powered here. The land and channel to the south knock down the wind significantly especially right by the pier. Launch either at the North end of the beach or at the south end next to the pier.
Petobego Pond – Wind Direction: Any
Park at Maple Bay and it's about a mile from the parking area to the pond. Follow the conservancy-posted signs that indicate that you can walk along the shoreline all the way to the public land (the area between Maple Bay and Petobego is privately-owned, and once you get a bit into the hike, signs just ask that you don't trespass up onto the land). The sand is mostly packed, so it's not an arduous trek, though you will probably have to divert into the water a bit here and there to avoid the driftwood. -Thanks to Adventures Up North for the great directions!
Elk Rapids Park (Just South of Elk Rapids) – Wind Direction NNW, N
Elk Rapids (North Beach) – Wind Direction NNW, N
Antrim Creek Natural Area – Wind Direction WNW, NW, NNW
Banks Township Park (Norwood) – Wind Direction: WNW, NNW, NW
Fishermans Island St Park (Whiskey Creek) – Wind Direction WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW, N
Hike in with rocky beaches. Probably a bit of a stretch to kite here.
Fishermans Island St Park (Bells Bay Rd) – Wind Direction W, WNW, NW, NNW, N, NNE, NE
Parking here. Rocky beaches
Charlevoix – Wind Direction: WSW, W, NW, N ,NE:
During the tourist season ask the lifeguard at the city beach if it's okay to launch before heading out. Like a lot of places in Northern MI, the water in Charlevoix is crystal clear with light aqua shades to deep blues that allow you to see straight to the bottom.
Petoskey St Park – Wind Direction W
Pretty deep, narrow bay off Lake Michigan. W would be clean but straight onshore
Cross Village (Port of Cross Village Park) – Wind Direction: W, WNW, NW, NNW, N, NNE:
Intriguing spot up in the far north of lower Michigan. Secluded with wide beaches. WSW and NE might be possible here too. Needs a visit.
Wilderness State Park – *Wind Direction SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW, N, NNE, NE, ENE:
Park looks to be pretty accessible by car with and it is a popular state park in the summer months. Hiking might be necessary as well. *Available wind direction dependant on your location on beach in park.
Beaver Island – (Expert Only) Wind Direction: Any
Access island by ferry or airplane. Transportation, stores and lodging available on island. Hiking might be necessary as well.

Best of
the Twin Cities
Kanye West is one of the only artists alive who can captivate an entire arena — even when no one can see him. Throughout his mesmerizing, passionate performance during the Saint Pablo Tour stop in St. Paul (his first Twin Cities visit in eight years), West floated above the crowd on a moving platform accented by blood-red lighting that left him mostly in the shadows. But Kanye's dynamic material and outsized persona enlivened the wild general admission floor as well as the packed stands, even if we only caught indistinct glimpses of him. The elevated stage played up Kanye's God complex, bringing him closer to heaven while his adoring crowd worshiped from below. The moving stage redefined the parameters on what an arena show could look like; it transported Kanye to all corners of the X, getting the entire crowd hyped by the spectacle. The slew of cancellations before and after the performance made it that much more special, though any Kanye appearance is going to be memorable.

USA Network has announced that the upcoming eighth season of Hamptons-set medical drama Royal Pains will be its last. The show, which actually films in the Hamptons and other areas of Long Island, stars Mark Feuerstein as Hank, a concierge doctor who treats and mingles with wealthy locals and vacationers.
Leading up to the Royal Pains final season, USA has released a video featuring Feuerstein singing a rap—gold chains and all—to remind fans what's happened in the past seven seasons, and to get new viewers caught up if they're late to the party. Shot in the Hamptons and featuring some fly dance moves by Paulo Costanzo, who plays Hank's brother Evan, "That's a Rap" is a perfect sendup to 1990s rap music. It does a pretty good job with filling in key details from the last seven years, too. And if you listen carefully, you'll catch a very clear Beastie Boys vibe throughout Feuerstein's vocals.
Speaking of music, the upcoming Season 8 will reportedly feature a musical episode featuring Hamptons regular Christine Ebersole.
Royal Pains begins its eight-episode final season on Wednesday, May 18 at 10 p.m. on USA.
Now watch the video. It's not one to miss!

Welcome again to Forty 3rd which tackles models within the 1/43 scale and smaller. Another blue, another brand. Younger folks may not be familiar with this brand on an actual automobile but to us die cast collectors this has been available from Hot Wheels to Matchbox.
This is one of my hawls from overseas and some of you may have already guess what it was.
Presenting the 1979 Datsun Truck long body DX by Hi-Story.
I'm unable to find any info about Hi-Story but the back of the package indicates the website interallied.co.jp. It's in Japanese and it list several different brands so it either owns those brands or is the distributor for them. The package also indicates Hi-Story as 1/43 scale handmade model cars.
This truck, also known as the Datsun 620 to those who collect Hot Wheels, was made from 1972 - 1979. Unlike the Hot Wheels model, this is a right hand drive. Info from wikipedia indicates the 620 was available with two wheelbases and also as the extended King Cab model from 1977. In Canada the 620 was marketed as the "Sportruck", while American buyers knew it as "The Little Hustler". In North America it was generally treated as a regular car, with 40% of buyers stating that they never used the truck for "work".
The detailed on this model is pretty good. Of course there are no moving parts and I meant it literary. The wheels does not rotate at all. I would rate this 5 out of 5 for detailed, 4.7 for quality control as even though there are no problem with the model, the wheels do not roll at all. Whether this is intentional or not I'm not sure as I've been noticing a pattern with other manufacturer as well. I would give this 3.75 for play value as this is strictly for display and not as a toy.
Below is a comparison between Hi-Story and Hot Wheels Datsun truck.

For Students, Banking 2.0 Involves Social Media (and the Ads That Go With It)
Let's say you're in college. You're taking a full load of courses, balancing classes with a work-study job that pays minimum wage, and whether you eat or not depends entirely on the credit still left on your weekly meal plan. Money's tight and you're caught in between independence and still having to rely on your parents' generosity.
Financially speaking, college students are in a unique position . . . and it's not an attractive one to banks. A basic checking account is essential for everyday purchases, but banks stand to make little if any profit off a typical student's minor transactions. Additionally, the Credit CARD Act of 2009 makes it illegal for creditors to issue credit to anyone under 21, a previously lucrative practice that targeted inexperienced, underage consumers, setting them up for a potentially lifelong burden of debt. With such a low net worth, students' banking needs are often overlooked.
Waspit, an interactive social banking platform designed specifically with college students in mind, says it's found a unique niche by catering to the market. Bypassing brick-and-mortar branches, the company offers online and mobile banking services that are linked to pre-paid debit accounts. The charge: $2 per month. Users are issued a Waspit debit card (MasterCard-branded) or a tag for their cellphone that allows them to tap and pay at MasterCard PayPass terminals. The debit account can be linked to a traditional bank account or set up to receive direct deposits from a student employer.
The twist is social media integration, which lets students do things like automatically check in on Foursquare when they pay a merchant, post comments directly to Facebook, or rate a restaurant via their linked Yelp accounts. Students earn "buzz" points each time they interact with the banking platform, whether it's making a purchase or rating a merchant experience, and the points are redeemable for Amazon gift cards and other rewards. Other unique features include the ability to highlight transactions within Waspit bank statements to bring up information on merchants such as their web address, user reviews and street view images.
In addition to the connected social networks, Waspit's algorithms analyze users' spending habits and offer up relevant deals from companies like Groupon and LivingSocial. It will know for instance, if a student usually gets lunch between 12 and 2 p.m. on a weekday in New York City's West Village neighborhood, to send them a coupon at 11 a.m. on any given day, relative to their location and spending preferences. "We've tied all of these social elements and all of these behavioral elements . . . and brought it into one platform," said Richard Steggall, Waspit's CEO.
Waspit charges third-party merchants for the right to offer deals to the company's user base and receives a percentage of the fees. And it's easy to see why advertisers would be attracted to the readily available, detailed information on users' spending habits and tastes. Steggall insists though, that it's not a free-for-all when it comes to access. "We don't bring third-party advertisers in and say, 'Here, you can sell to our base.' We simply aggregate these things into our own deal stream . . . and provide them as we think the user wants to receive them."
For cash-strapped students who aren't shy about broadcasting their shopping experiences, the ability to earn rewards via the interactive social banking platform would seem appealing, despite the targeted advertising efforts they may be unknowingly supporting. Waspit currently has around 5,500 registered users and employs student ambassadors on various college campuses to drum up publicity. "It's giving students an opportunity to break away from using their parent's accounts, it's giving them an ability to pay for things without having to use cash all the time," said Steggall. He adds that Waspit's pre-paid debit accounts indirectly enable fiscal responsibility in students. "We do not let any student go into an overdraft scenario, they can only spend what they've got. There's no form of credit."
Waspit is in its final beta stage at the moment, and recently signed on The Bancorp as issuer of its products. In addition to the $2 monthly fee, students should consider the charges they'll incur for ATM withdrawals and whether they can forgo the convenience of having a bricks-and-mortar local branch.

Market studies show that regular, preventative maintenance can help you keep your locations consistently operating at peak efficiency and looking their best. But, the truth is, many facilities have inadequate and, in many cases, ineffective preventive maintenance programs for their equipment -- it's a lot of work, management and money to put together an effective program.
This is why savvy facility managers partner with CSI to manage maintenance on a schedule rather than a purely corrective basis, to save time and money in the long run, as well as increase the lifespan of their assets.

Rates cut for new business
Laois County Council have extended their Business Incentive Scheme to Mountmellick, to revive the town centre.
Cut price rates are on offer to new businesses setting up in commercial premises that are vacant for at least six months, from Patrick Street to Sarsfield Street including O'Connell Square.
Shops, offices, medical or health clinics and creches can all apply for the scheme.
However pubs, takeaways, betting offices, headshops, arcades and jewellery/clothes for money outlets need not apply says Anne-Marie Delaney, Director of Services.
"This is to encourage use of vacant premises over the next three years, and encourage diversity of retail opportunities. It won't apply to anyone who owes money to the council at any other location," she said.
Also excluded are businesses moving from a similar size premises in Mountmellick.
The scheme gives 75 percent off rates in year one, 50 percent in year two and 25 percent in year three, with full rates to be paid afterwards.
Cllr Paddy Bracken welcomed the announcement at the March monthly meeting.
"I am sure other towns will benefit in due course, I thank everyone for their input," he said, while confirming with Ms Delaney that charity clothes shops can apply.
The scheme began in Portlaoise last year with plans to extend it around Laois, continuing with Rathdowney and Mountrath next month.
"It is at the initial stage in Portlaoise, we will review the impact at the end of the year," said Ms Delaney, reporting "not huge demand yet".
More incentives are on the way in the coming months, to encourage pop-up shops, enhancement of public areas, new traditional shopfronts, use of vacant shop windows, floral displays, signs and Christmas lighting.
The council will review the rates incentive scheme after two years.
