Washington State seriously deserves consideration as a wine destination. We remember very well the Wine Lovers Tour there 2 years ago that received rave reviews.
Everyone has to start in Seattle because it has the major airport and is also home to numerous small to medium sized wineries as well as the huge Chateau Ste Michelle. But no grapes are grown here- you have to go east over the mountain range where the climate and terroir is occasionally reminiscent of dessert-like conditions.
The epicenter of the wine region is quickly becoming Prosser. You could also make a good argument for Walla Walla but for sheer convenience you can't beat Prosser's Vintners Village.
If you have the time, then after Prosser, go to Walla Walla and then return to either Seattle or Portland via the Columbia River. Breathtaking views, great wines, warm welcoming wineries- what else could you ask for. If you'd like a copy of our 2009 itinerary, just send me an email request.
Zinfandel Day-the 1st annual version- will soon be upon us and everyone can participate, even if you're not planning to physically travel to the West Coast. All you have to do is buy-and drink- a bottle of Zinfandel on November 19, and celebrate. Of course if you're a real serious ZAP, you'll consider actually getting there and here is all the information you'll need to sign up for Zinfandel Day.

Ecstasy goes by a number of street names, including E, XTC, or Essence. It is a synthetic substance with psychoactive properties, and chemically it is akin to mescaline. Ecstasy is a stimulant which also has psychedelic properties, and like cocaine it can increase the energy levels of the user. This drug is popular among users because it can create distortions with time or perception, as well as tactile pleasure.
Ecstasy Addiction
Ecstasy can be addictive due to the way in which it affects the brain. In particular, it influences the neurons that are responsible for managing serotonin, which is important for managing a person's mood. A number of studies have found that over 40 percent of users have become dependent on ecstasy. They continue to use ecstasy regardless of the harm it causes them, and they also experience both a higher tolerance level and withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.
Warning Signs of Ecstasy Addiction
There are numerous warning signs that a person may be addicted to ecstasy. They may suffer from fatigue, a reduced appetite, and feelings of depression. Additionally, users have frequently displayed a difficulty concentrating. Memory problems have also been noted in heavy ecstasy users. Additional warning signs include:
- Cognitive decline
- Increased body temperature
- Increased heart rate
- Blurred vision
- Sweating or chills
- Involuntary clenching of teeth
Side Effects of Ecstasy Abuse
In addition to the physical effects that this substance causes, ecstasy also causes many psychological side effects. Those that use this drug may appear confused, depressed, and as with other drugs they may display an intense craving for it. These problems will usually appear days and weeks after the drug has been consumed. Ecstasy research has found that when this drug is consumed for extensive periods of time, the neurons which are responsible for mood, judgment and thinking may be permanently impaired.
Another problem commonly found with ecstasy is issues with its purity. A number of unscrupulous dealers will sell drugs that appear to be ecstasy, but which are actually substances such as PMA, or paramethoxyamphetamine, which may be neurotoxic, killing anyone who consumes it. Additional side effects which result from ecstasy use incude:
- Muscle tension
- Problems with blood circulation
- Fainting or nausea
- High blood pressure
- Depression or mood swings
- Sleep deprivation
- Liver or Kidney failure
Ecstasy Rehab
Ecstasy is a hazardous drug both physically and psychologically. It is popular among teenagers and young adults which makes it a particular cause for concern. Those that are struggling with ecstasy addiction should seek help as soon as possible. Entering rehab is one of the best ways to overcome the addiction and get back to living a normal, healthy, ecstasy free life. Addiction rehab services offer a number of treatment options, including holistic drug rehab programs or Jewish drug rehab programs.
Those that wish to enter rehab must first be assessed in order to determine the extent of their addiction, and the manner in which it can be resolved. Rehab services can be expensive, but the results of the treatment will be worth it. Payments are accepted in cash or credit card, and your insurance company may also provide coverage.
Contact us at NeuroPsychiatric Addiction Clinic today so you can get the treatment you need and live a healthier life.

Do you think the HFT bots talk to each other? If they did, what would it sound like? A stream of 1's and 0's? A stream of 1 contract trades perhaps? Hmm. Let's investigate.
Right before Thursday's High we had one stream of over 500 trades each of 1 contract, closely followed by another stream of almost 1,000 trades each of 1 contract. All at the Ask. The market went 1 point higher, reversed and spent the rest of the day correcting by 10 points.
Right before Friday's Low we had 3 bursts, each of over 150 trades of 1 contract all at the Bid. The market went 1 point lower, reversed and rallied by over 8 points.
Coincidence? Conspiracy theory? Machines talking to each other? Take a look for yourself. What do you think? And if you're a HFT who wants to spill the beans or pull back the curtain for us "mere mortals", please email me.
Bot Signal generating good trades
In the month since this post went out, no one has spilled the beans. So we're none the wiser about what's going on. BUT – a few brave traders have coded the Bot Signal and it's generated some nice signals. Here are a few.
From Tim Q.
"Hey Barry, Love your site. I've been a follower for about 3 years now. I'm sure you noticed the BOT signal going off today at 1:09 PM. Great entry short for my OSOK! Thanks so much for sharing your insights." Tim Q.
From Stephen C.
"I coded the Bot signal. Showed @ 14:10, short @ 52 covered @ 47 for 5 points. fyi" Stephen C.
And from Kevin
"After reviewing your BOT video, I configured a simple indicator to signal if a BOT is plotted on the 500 tick bar chart with CQG data provider for Ninja Trader.
Today, after ECB rally on ES (pre-market open) the signal was made. I entered a short at yesterday's value area High 1588.00 and made the OSOK with a cover @ 1584." Kevin
Good luck with your Emini trading.

Diagnosis of municipal waste management in Vitoria-Gasteiz and the evaluation of future scenarios using SIMUR
The Urban Information and Modeling System or la Sistema de Información y Modelización Urbana aplicado a los Residuos (SIMUR), gives users the ability to evaluate all stages of a waste management system using computer-generated models. SIMUR is used by applying the moeling software to a specific scenario to understand environmental impacts and operating results and to suggest improvements for each of the stages. The program identifies, evaluates, models, and optimizes waste management options for urban areas to improve their systems.
This software has been applied to the management of municipal waste in the municipality of Vitoria in both its urban and rural areas. Therefore we have gathered some relevant indicators pertaining to environmental and municipal management, such as collection, energy efficiency, the environmental balance of the treatments, their impacts, etc.
Using current city data, the SIMUR system has been used to simulate two future scenarios (2016). The first is based on the application of the Integrated Waste Management Vitoria and the second is a hypothetical scenario that will achieve greater collection selectively with a new approach. This approach will be applied to collection systems, using greener fuels and a biocompost management plant.
By comparing results and scenarios from proposals, BCNecologia will be able to adapt and improve the different stages of management.

The teamd instance must not be killed if the device was externally activated. !158 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693142 (cherry picked from commit 008a4b42) (cherry picked from commit bd113fe7)
In general, all fields of public NMPlatform* structs must be plain/simple. Meaning: copying the struct must be possible without caring about cloning/duplicating memory. In other words, if there are fields which lifetime is limited, then these fields cannot be inside the public part NMPlatform*. That is why - "NMPlatformLink.kind", "NMPlatformQdisc.kind", "NMPlatformTfilter.kind" are set by platform code to an interned string (g_intern_string()) that has a static lifetime. - the "ingress_qos_map" field is inside the ref-counted struct NMPObjectLnkVlan and not NMPlatformLnkVlan. This field requires managing the lifetime of the array and NMPlatformLnkVlan cannot provide that. See also for example NMPClass.cmd_obj_copy() which can deep-copy an object. But this is only suitable for fields in NMPObject*. The purpose of this rule is that you always can safely copy a NMPlatform* struct without worrying about the ownership and lifetime of the fields (the field's lifetime is unlimited). This rule and managing of resource lifetime is the main reason for the NMPlatform*/NMPObject* split. NMPlatform* structs simply have no mechanism for copying/releasing fields, that is why the NMPObject* counterpart exists (which is ref-counted and has a copy and destructor function). This is violated in tc_commit() for the "kind" strings. The lifetime of these strings is tied to the setting instance. We cannot intern the strings (because these are arbitrary strings and interned strings are leaked indefinitely). We also cannot g_strdup() the strings, because NMPlatform* is not supposed to own strings. So, just add comments that warn about this ugliness. The more correct solution would be to move the "kind" fields inside NMPObjectQdisc and NMPObjectTfilter, but that is a lot of extra effort. (cherry picked from commit f2ae994b)
While nm_platform_link_get_ifindex() is documented to return 0 if the device is not found, don't rely on it. Instead, check that a valid(!) ifindex was returned, and only then set the ifindex. Otherwise leave it at zero. There is of course no difference in practice, but we generally treat invalid ifindexes as <= 0, so it's not immediately clear what nm_platform_link_get_ifindex() returns to signal no device. (cherry picked from commit 9eefe27a)
Also calling macros we commonly put a space between the macro name and the parenthesis. Also align the parameters. Otherwise it's hard to read for me. (cherry picked from commit 9399297a)
platform: merge _add_action(), _add_action_simple() and _add_action_mirred() into _nl_msg_new_tfilter() There is only one caller, hence it's simpler to see it all in one place. I prefer this, because then I can read the code top to bottom and see what's happening, without following helper functions. Also, this way we can "reuse" the nla_put_failure label and assertion. Previously, if the assertion was hit we would not rewind the buffer but continue constructing the message (which is already borked). Not that it matters too much, because this was on an "failed-assertion" code path. (cherry picked from commit 04bd404d)
These lines can be reached if the allocated buffer is too small to hold the netlink message. That is actually a bug that we need to fix. Assert. (cherry picked from commit 3784a2a2)
Arguably, the structure is used inside a union with another (larger) struct, hence no memory is saved. In fact, it may well be slower performance wise to access a boolean bitfield than a gboolean (int). Still, boolean fields in structures should be bool:1 bitfields for consistency. (cherry picked from commit 36d6aa3b)
Kernel calls the netlink attribute TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT. Likewise, iproute2 calls this "memory_limit". Rename because TC parameters are inherrently tied to the kernel implementation and we should use the familiar name. (cherry picked from commit 666d5880)
iproute2 uses the special value ~0u to indicate not to set TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD in RTM_NEWQDISC. When not explicitly setting the value, kernel treats the threshold as disabled. However note that 0xFFFFFFFFu is not an invalid threshold (as far as kernel is concerned). Thus, we should not use that as value to indicate that the value is unset. Note that iproute2 uses the special value ~0u only internally thereby making it impossible to set the threshold to 0xFFFFFFFFu). But kernel does not have this limitation. Maybe the cleanest way would be to add another field to NMPlatformQDisc: guint32 ce_threshold; bool ce_threshold_set:1; that indicates whether the threshold is enable or not. But note that kernel does: static void codel_params_init(struct codel_params *params) { ... params->ce_threshold = CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD; static int fq_codel_change(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack) { ... if (tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD]) { u64 val = nla_get_u32(tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD]); q->cparams.ce_threshold = (val * NSEC_PER_USEC) >> CODEL_SHIFT; } static int fq_codel_dump(struct Qdisc *sch, struct sk_buff *skb) { ... if (q->cparams.ce_threshold != CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD && nla_put_u32(skb, TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD, codel_time_to_us(q->cparams.ce_threshold))) goto nla_put_failure; This means, kernel internally uses the special value 0x83126E97u to indicate that the threshold is disabled (WTF). That is because (((guint64) 0x83126E97u) * NSEC_PER_USEC) >> CODEL_SHIFT == CODEL_DISABLED_THRESHOLD So in kernel API this value is reserved (and has a special meaning to indicate that the threshold is disabled). So, instead of adding a ce_threshold_set flag, use the same value that kernel anyway uses. (cherry picked from commit 973db2d4)
The memory-limit is an unsigned integer. It is ugly (if not wrong) to compare unsigned values with "-1". When comparing with the default value we must also use an u32 type. Instead add a define NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET. Note that like iproute2 we treat NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET to indicate to not set TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT in RTM_NEWQDISC. This special value is entirely internal to NetworkManager (or iproute2) and kernel will then choose a default memory limit (of 32MB). So setting NM_PLATFORM_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT_UNSET means to leave it to kernel to choose a value (which then chooses 32MB). See kernel's net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c: static int fq_codel_init(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack) { ... q->memory_limit = 32 << 20; /* 32 MBytes */ static int fq_codel_change(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack) ... if (tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT]) q->memory_limit = min(1U << 31, nla_get_u32(tb[TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT])); Note that not having zero as default value is problematic. In fields like "NMPlatformIP4Route.table_coerced" and "NMPlatformRoutingRule.suppress_prefixlen_inverse" we avoid this problem by storing a coerced value in the structure so that zero is still the default. We don't do that here for memory-limit, so the caller must always explicitly set the value. (cherry picked from commit 46a90438)
When using nm_utils_strbuf_*() API, the buffer gets always moved to the current end. We must thus remember and return the original start of the buffer. (cherry picked from commit b658e3da)
In practice, there is no difference when representing 0 or 1 as signed/unsigned 32 bit integer. But still use the correct type that also kernel uses. Also, the implicit conversation from uint32 to bool was correct already. Still, explicitly convert the uint32 value to boolean in _new_from_nl_qdisc(). It's no change in behavior. (cherry picked from commit a1099a1f)
"NM_CMP_FIELD (a, b, fq_codel.ecn == TRUE)" is quite a hack as it relies on the implementation of the macro in a particular way. The problem is, that NM_CMP_FIELD() uses typeof() which cannot be used with bitfields. So, the nicer solution is to use NM_CMP_FIELD_UNSAFE() which exists exactly for bitfields (it's "unsafe", because it evaluates arguments more than once as it avoids the temporary variable with typeof()). Same with nm_hash_update_vals() which uses typeof() to avoid evaluating arguments more than once. But that again does not work with bitfields. The "proper" way is to use NM_HASH_COMBINE_BOOLS(). (cherry picked from commit 47d8bee1)
nqdiscs and ntfilters are unsigned integers. The loop variable must agree in range and signedness. (cherry picked from commit 438855e9)
I think initializing structs should (almost) be always done with designated initializers, because otherwise it's easy to get the order wrong. The problem is that otherwise the order of fields gets additional meaning not only for the memory layout, but also for the code that initialize the structs. Add a macro NM_VARIANT_ATTRIBUTE_SPEC_DEFINE() that replaces the other (duplicate) macros. This macro also gets it right to mark the struct as const. (cherry picked from commit 86dc50d4)
This actually allows the compiler/linker to mark the memory as read-only and any modification will cause a segmentation fault. I would also think that it allows the compiler to put the structure directly beside the outer constant array (in which this pointer is embedded). That is good locality-wise. (cherry picked from commit 4e3955e6)
- g_ascii_strtoll() accepts leading spaces, but it leaves the end pointer at the first space after the digit. That means, we accepted "1: 0" but not "1 :0". We should either consistently accept spaces around the digits/colon or reject it. - g_ascii_strtoll() accepts "\v" as a space (just like `man 3 isspace` comments that "\v" is a space in C and POSIX locale. For some reasons (unknown to me) g_ascii_isspace() does not treat "\v" as space. And neither does NM_ASCII_SPACES and nm_str_skip_leading_spaces(). We should be consistent about what we consider spaces and what not. It's already odd to accept '\n' as spaces here, but well, lets do it for the sake of consistency (so that it matches with our understanding of ASCII spaces, albeit not POSIX's). - don't use bogus error domains in "g_set_error (error, 1, 0, ..." That is a bug and we have NM_UTILS_ERROR exactly for error instances with unspecified domain and code. - as before, accept a trailing ":" with omitted minor number. - reject all unexpected characters. strtoll() accepts '+' / '-' and a "0x" prefix of the numbers (and leading POSIX spaces). Be strict here and only accepts NM_ASCII_SPACES, ':', and hexdigits. In particular, don't accept the "0x" prefix. This parsing would be significantly simpler to implement, if we could just strdup() the string, split the string at the colon delimiter and use _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_int64() which gets leading/trailing spaces right. But let's save the "overhead" of an additional alloc. (cherry picked from commit cc9f0716)

New Cutting-Edge Oil & Gas Reports by GlobalData Available at MarketPublishers.com
02 Dec 2011 • by Natalie Aster
Market Publishers Ltd informs that new GlobalData's Oil & Gas Reports have been added to its catalogue:
Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies: Financial & Operational Fundamental Analysis and Benchmarking-2011
The report benchmarks top ranked companies on various operational and financial parameters such as proved oil and gas reserves, production, capital expenditures,results of oil and gas operations and valuation metrics. Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. had the largest portfolio of proved oil and gas reserves among the Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies at the end of 2010. Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. with 296,501 MMbbl of proved oil reserves at the end of 2010 was top ranked in terms of oil reserves among the Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies. While OAO Gazprom with 670,890 bcf of proved gas reserves was the highest gas reserves holder within the peer group. The proved oil & gas reserves of Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies increased 20.7% during 2010, increase from 440.898 billion boe in 2009 to 532.206 billion boe in 2010.OAO Gazprom is the leading oil & gas producer. The company with 3,305 MMboe production in 2010 ranks first among the Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies. Capital expenditure of Leading Oil & Gas National Oil Companies increased by 54.7% in 2010.
Global Gas Shales Development, 2011 - North America Sets the Momentum for Shale Gas Developments Worldwide
Shale gas development in the US has gained the attention of several major global oil and gas companies and the country is actively pursuing ways to develop this unconventional resource commercially. This effort has paid off, and international oil companies (IOCs) and national oil companies (NOCs) are entering the plays through mergers and acquisitions. According to reports published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) in April 2011, Asia-Pacific has the highest risked in-place shale gas resources in the world, totaling 7,042tcf (trillion cubic feet), followed by south and central America in second position. North America, Africa, and Europe rank in third, fourth and fifth positions in terms of risked in-place shale gas resources.Followed by the success of shales gas development in the US, Europe is looking into developing its own gas shale resources. Eastern Europe has long been dependent on Russia to meet its natural gas requirements. If Europe can diversify its gas supply sources and develop domestic shale gas resources, it would be able to decrease its dependence on expensive Russian gas.

Conor McGregor Bought A Florida Bar 100 Whiskey Shots
by Larry LeoMarch 15, 2019
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
UFC star Conor McGregor isn't letting a little arrest this week slow him down. On Wednesday, he was buying 100 shots for the patrons in a Florida bar, obviously they were shots of his own Proper 12 whiskey...
The Notorious rolled into Miller's Ale House in Hollywood, FL and turned up like he was celebrating -- going behind the bar, taking pics with fans ... and even cooking steaks in the kitchen!!!
Seriously, we spoke with people at the bar who tell us Conor wasn't there to be served, he was there to WORK!
When it was all said and done, Conor's bill came out to $636.66 -- but he wanted to show the staff some love ... so he tipped an additional $200!!!

Google Reader RSS Aggregator To Be Retired Due To Declined Usage
Google is shutting down its Google Reader service due to a declining number of users – and fans of the service have been given three months to find an alternative.
Google Reader, which was launched in 2005, is a content aggregator of web feeds, meaning users can go to just one place to view content from their favourite sites.
But the company said Google Reader would be retired on July 1 due to a dwindling number of users.
[pullquote_left] "There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we are pouring all of our energy into fewer products," Google said in its official blog. [/pullquote_left]
Despite a near-obsessive following among journalists – who have few options as comprehensive as RSS feeds from news sites – updates through Twitter, Flipboard and other networks have largely replaced it.
Since the announcement on Wednesday night, a petition on Change.org has already amassed more than 15,000 signatures. User Daniel Lewis started the petition because he says that despite using it less, he still relies on it several times a week.
At least one dedicated website has been set up asking Google to reconsider.
Bringgooglereaderback.com opens with "Dear Google" then displays an animation of Mad Men actress and Comic Con favourite Alison Brie looking at first shocked, then upset on apparently hearing the news.
The website then displays the words: "You should bring back Google Reader."
In addition to killing off Reader, from next week Google is ending support for the Google Voice app for BlackBerrys, instead pointing users toward the HTML5 webapp.

|Taking it "easy"
I like this photo b/c that guy is in business attire and still has his shoes on. He's looking straight up at the ceiling as if in dread that he should be working but he's found himself in bed. So relaxing.
I don't know if it's just getting a caffeine tolerance, anxiety paradoxically making me sleepy to avoid work, laziness, or just a habit... but I'm consistently getting so extremely drowsy in the afternoon.
It can't be explained by eating lunch and post-lunch sleepiness one hears about. I frequently don't even eat lunch. I've tried adding an energy drink to my afternoon coffee and that hasn't made an impact. Since I stopped drinking alcohol I started drinking energy drinks. They feel like the one vice I might have left after weed and booze.
I might feel more panic at getting so sleepy in an office. I don't know. Maybe I would go walk around and try to wake up that way. These days I'm drifting off either on the bed or on a chair during my "lunch break". And sometimes that 30-60 lunch break stretches into a 90 minutes because I can't get my sleepy ass up. Of course, that nap isn't restful at all and I'm sleepy most of the afternoon. I get no energy from that nap whatsoever. Just a fun dose of guilt. Just a fun slump in productivity.
Anyway, this shows no sign of letting up. I'm not sure what exactly to do. I'm not really fighting it at this point. One option would be to get off my ass and go outside for five minutes. It is hot as shit and that does tend to wake me up. But... I've got to want to wake up and I think that's the real problem.

Kering's profit halves as Gucci growth stallsComments
Fewer rich tourists visiting Europe meant luxury-goods brand Gucci's sales growth slowed to its weakest in four years.
Gucci is the flagship label of the Kering group, which saw its net profit for last year tumble to 50 million euros from just over one billion in 2012.
Chief Executive Francois-Henri Pinault said he was confident the company, which also includes brands like Yves Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta, would increase revenue and recurring operating income this year.
Pinault said it will focus on achieving profitable organic growth in its luxury elements and a relaunch plan for its Puma sportswear brand.
With logo-heavy products falling out of favour, Gucci has sought to strengthen its higher-end offering with more logo-discreet leather bags and fewer canvas bags.
Kering Finance Director Jean-Marc Duplaix said said the brand's trading in China improved in the last quarter and its operating profit margin rose slightly in the second half to 31.9 percent from 31.7 percent a year earlier.

« The Man Who Could Be New York's Next Governor | Main | Gov. Spitzer: 'What Might Have Been' »
Gov. Spitzer's Resignation
I think Joe Williams at Democrats for Education Reform gets a medal for being one of the first ones out of the gate—if not the first one—to offer a statement on what the pending resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer means for K-12. The statement was posted on his blog at 9:37 a.m. today and hit my email in-box at 10:30 a.m. today.
Perhaps this is Joe's journalistic instincts taking over. Spitzer is expected to announce his resignation today at 11:30 a.m.

New Speakers, Topics Added to the HN Speakers Bureau: Book Now!
Humanities Nebraska is pleased to introduce the following new additions to our Speakers Bureau. To book one of these speakers, please visit HumanitiesNebraska.org, click on "Speakers," and select either a speaker or title to get started.
Omaha World-Herald food critic Sarah Baker Hansen and her husband Matthew Hansen, also a World-Herald columnist, will present "The Better Half: Nebraska's Hidden Treasures," which focuses on their statewide travels. The Hansens speak about rediscovering their own home state and encourage other Nebraskans to do the same.
Author Ron Jensen discusses George Norris's vision of a "model state legislature" after 80 years as the nation's only unicameral state legislature. In "The Nebraska Unicameral At Eighty: Does George Norris's Vision Still Live?" he includes interviews with living speakers of the legislature, Norris's fundamentals, and analysis.
Descendents of DeWitty will present "The Audacious, NE Saga." DeWitty, later called Audacious, was the largest and longest-lasting African-American settlement in rural Nebraska. Descendants of DeWitty pioneers re-enact stories of the people of the settlement, accompanied by historic photographs.
Stephen Lahey will discuss "The Hussites" and their 15th-century domination in Europe, which began with the first revolution in history, and continues to define Czech identity. Lahey introduces the theologians and the generals who led the movement, the ideology that defined it, and the internal division that threatened to destroy it.
Maureen Waldron presents "Nebraskan at Heart: Joslyn's Eugene Kingman and The New York Times." With many images, she covers former Joslyn Art Museum director Eugene Kingman's life and success starting as an artist from New England who was commissioned to create a mural for the main lobby of The Times and came to love painting Nebraska scenes.

Oxford Programme for
the Future of Cities The Flexible City: rethinking the urban to face future challenges
The Oxford Future of Cities presents the "Urban Governance and its Discontents" Film Series
April 29th : The Square, 2013 – Wharton Room (in collaboration with the Middle East Film Series)
dir. Jehane Noujaim
The Egyptian Revolution has been an ongoing rollercoaster over the past two and a half years. Through the news, we only get a glimpse of the bloodiest battle, an election, or a million man march. At the beginning of July 2013, we witnessed the second president deposed within the space of three years. The Square is an immersive experience, transporting the viewer deeply into the intense emotional drama and personal stories behind the news. It is the inspirational story of young people claiming their rights, struggling through multiple forces, in the fight to create a society of conscience.
May 12th : The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History, 2011 – Old Library
dir. Chad Freidrichs
It began as a housing marvel. Two decades later, it ended in rubble. But what happened to those caught in between? The Pruitt-Igoe Myth tells the story of the transformation of the American city in the decades after World War II, through the lens of the infamous Pruitt-Igoe housing development and the St. Louis residents who called it home. At the film's historical center is an analysis of the massive impact of the national urban renewal program of the 1950s and 1960s, which prompted the process of mass suburbanization and emptied American cities of their residents, businesses, and industries. Those left behind in the city faced a destitute, rapidly de-industrializing St. Louis , parceled out to downtown interests and increasingly segregated by class and race. The residents of Pruitt-Igoe were among the hardest hit. Their gripping stories of survival, adaptation, and success are at the emotional heart of the film. The domestic turmoil wrought by punitive public welfare policies; the frustrating interactions with a paternalistic and cash-strapped Housing Authority; and the downward spiral of vacancy, vandalism and crime led to resident protest and action during the 1969 Rent Strike, the first in the history of public housing. And yet, despite this complex history, Pruitt-Igoe has often been stereotyped. The world-famous image of its implosion has helped to perpetuate a myth of failure, a failure that has been used to critique Modernist architecture, attack public assistance programs, and stigmatize public housing residents. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth seeks to set the historical record straight. To examine the interests involved in Pruitt-Igoe's creation. To re-evaluate the rumors and the stigma. To implode the myth.

The KEDGE-SJTU Global MBA: ranked 22nd in the world (Financial Times 2016)
Created 14 years ago, the KEDGE Global MBA is among the Top 25 Executive MBAs in the world according to the 2016 Financial Times rankings. This group includes the most prestigious Business Schools in the world: London Business School (19th), Duke University (20th), Warwick (23rd), Kellogg: North-western/Korea University Business School (24th), IMD (27th), Columbia (28th), etc.
The course is taught in France and China and has made steady progress over the last 7 years
in 2010
in 2013
in 2016
KEDGE BS has also confirmed its position as the provider of France's 4th best Executive MBA, behind HEC, INSEAD and ESCP. In China, where the programme is taught at the Shanghai campus, KEDGE BS is also ranked 4th, behind Tsinghua/INSEAD, SJTU Antai and CEIBS.
The KEDGE Global MBA is taught in Marseille, Bordeaux, Paris and Shanghai and is the only French MBA to be recognised by the Chinese government, the French government and have AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB accreditation.
The KEDGE BS/Jiao Tong University Global MBA is taught in English and is intended for senior executives and managers seeking a decidedly international dimension. Depending on the specialisation Major (10 in total) selected, training can span several countries and continents (France/China/South Africa/Australia/USA/England).
The course also requires students to choose 2 international seminars from 7 possible destinations: China, Brazil, Australia, India, Russia, USA and the United Arab Emirates.
Each year more than 80 senior executives choose Shanghai, and approximately 60 top-level executives choose Marseille, Bordeaux and Paris.
The Global MBA now benefits from a network of more than 1,500 graduates throughout the world, including
900 in China. This is a source of wonderful business opportunities for all graduates.
In 2005, the Chinese government stopped recognising foreign degrees in order to protect Chinese degrees but made an exception in 2011 of the Global MBA. Consequently it now has the official recognition of the Chinese Ministry of Education, allowing State business executives to use it for their career development.
The SJTU-KEDGE BS Executive MBA double degree
Since 2008, KEDGE and Jiao Tong University have also been developing an Executive MBA in English in the form of a double degree for Chinese senior executives and entrepreneurs.At present there are only four Executive MBA double degrees in China with a French institution.
Each year, this programme hosts between 30 and 35 elite participants in France (Paris and Marseille) for a study workshop. Participants come from large international and local companies such as Intel, PWC, Volvo, Kodak, Bertelsmann, Hilton, Tyco Electronics, Astra Zeneca, Maersk, the Bank of Communications, Nanfang Daily Media Group, and Shanghai Advertising, among others.
The programme admitted its final year group in 2015, due to changes in Chinese legislation and a reduction in the quota number.

A typical day at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando gets a whole lot more interesting for two tiny gorilla siblings when a bug drops by during playtime.
Just like any youngster discovering something new, at first the inquisitive pair regard the buzzing critter with childlike fearlessness. However, as the unpredictable insect starts darting around they soon adorably lose their nerve.
YouTube user Philippe Morgese couldn't resist sharing the scene that brought him and his daughter so much joy online recently, captioning the video: "[The young gorillas] seemed to gather the attention of everyone on our side of the glass. It was fun and we had a few laughs."

Best practices to be implemented in rural tourism
Although rural tourism has a huge potential in forming an integral part of the tourism industry in the developed and developing countries, there are certain practices that need to be implemented and followed strictly to maintain the sustainability of this particular domain of tourism. Failure to implement the best practices will only result in huge capital loss with zero returns. Countries like US, Australia and UK where rural tourism has been very popular drawing travelers from remote corners, strictly adhere to the best practices, which has been the benchmark for other countries to follow.
Chalk out a fool proof plan:
Selecting the right rural spots with a high market potential of developing into attractive destinations is the most vital step in setting up a sustainable rural tourism. A thorough research and data collection of the particular rural settlements involving rural officials, students and scholars of sociology and economic advisors are necessary to chalk out a full proof plan of developing a rural spot into tourism destination. This will help in proper budgetary allocation of funds and hiring man power in an optimized manner enabling setting up of a cost effective rural tourism business.
Proper financial support by the government and private owners:
Implementation of rural tourism involves a huge capital investment, which is bound to give handsome returns on a long term basis. Total funding of rural tourism may not be possible for the government. Therefore, the need for active financial support from the local cash rich farm owners is necessary. Educating the farm owners providing the right information of rural tourism benefits is important to drive in more investment. Many farm owners are ready to generate an alternative source of income through proper utilization of their farms.
Training handpicked persons and their proper deployment:
An efficient running of farm based bed and breakfast business along with value added agri-tourism demands a high level of professionalism. Training handpicked persons preferably the youths about different aspects of hospitality and tourism is very important to operate rural tourism. The responsibility of dealing with different types of guests and caring for their basic comforts should be shouldered by well trained hospitality staffs leaving no room for complaints. Regular workshops for managers and farmers are important to keep them abreast of latest developments of tourism industry.
Creating a well coordinated marketing network with the farm owners and marketing agencies:
Marketing plays an important role in promoting a rural tourist destination. Setting up a well coordinated network with the rural farm owners and marketing agencies play a pivotal role in highlighting a rural area worth visiting. Reaching out to the customers of varied tastes with attractive packages through well designed websites and electronic media attracts more attention. Innovative agri-tours blended with exclusive features can be marketed extensively as tourists always look for something new and exclusive.
Constant monitoring of the basic infrastructure and other essential amenities:
Infrastructure development and provision of upgraded basic amenities is the backbone of rural tourism, which needs constant supervision by specially trained officials and managers. Compromising with these factors will lead to poor business. Apart from monitoring the existing system, it will be the duty of these officials to come out with upgraded plans to implement better practices in rural tourism. Maintaining the freshness and cleanliness of the rural area should always be the topmost priority.

Over the past few months I have converted to all things Laurie Taylor. Well two things Laurie Taylor related anyway. The first is the excellent 'Thinking Allowed' on Radio 4 which discusses the latest social sciences research. The second is a book he published a few years back called 'Escape Attempts'.
Escape Attempts was inspired by sociological research into how long-term prisoners cope with being inside. Specifically, how do they maintain their sense of identity?
While most of our lives are not as monotonous as those 'inside', this led to parallel questions about how we all cope with our everyday lives. After all, given that most of us go through many of the same motions day after day, how do we stay sane?
The answer is through escape attempts: we have holidays, hobbies, extra-marital affairs, we day-dream, we maintain an ironic, post-modern distance between ourselves and our work: my work is not me it's just something I do.
One of my favourite fictional descriptions of an escape attempt, of which I was reminded by Laurie Taylor, is in 'The Dice Man' by Luke Rhinehart. The protagonist, a psychiatrist, gets bored of his life and decides to allow chance to rule it for a period. He writes down various options, with fairly normal ones at high probability and more outrageous ones at low probability. Then he rolls a dice and forces himself to obey. Guaranteed to spice up your life as long as you put some interesting options in there.
About the author

- Spark: 17 Steps That Will Boost Your Motivation For Anything
- Activate: How To Find Joy Again By Changing What You Do
→ Dr Dean's bio, Twitter, Facebook and how to contact him.
Culture is, of course, a favourite escape attempt for many. I realised as I scanned the pages of Time Out (a cultural listings magazine in London) at the weekend that the magazine itself is a kind of escape attempt. I read about Reza Aramesh's investigation of 'migration and power centres' through re-enacting the Changing of the Guard in Trafalgar Square. I read about a leading contender for the Deutsche Borse Photography prize, Alec Soth, and his 'Mississippi Sleeping' project. I discovered I could use culture as an escape but, knowing full well I wouldn't be going to see them, I didn't have to leave the house. If anyone wants to buy me a subscription…

"For many of us, the warm, sunny days of summer conjure up thoughts of family vacations, backyard cookouts and lazy days enjoying the sunshine," says Elaine Austin, Executive Director of Provident Village at Creekside in Smyrna, GA. "However, if you have a loved one requiring memory care as a result of Alzheimer's disease or other form of dementia, it is also a time for caution and vigilance.
"Because of the effects of progressive memory loss on a person's judgment and five basic senses, the hot days of summer can be dangerous and even deadly if proper precautions are not taken, according to our memory care specialists here at Provident Village at Creekside.
"For example, your loved one may be totally unaware that they are dehydrated, overheated or getting a serious sunburn. As a result, he or she has an increased risk of heat stress and sun stroke. Therefore, it is very important to understand the risks, provide regular monitoring and take appropriate precautions to keep your loved one safe.
"The good news is that experts in memory care offer several tips on precautionary measures that can help keep your loved one safe and enable them to enjoy the summer months, too."
Summer Safety Tips for Your Loved One Receiving Memory Care
According to leading memory care authorities at the Mayo Clinic and the Alzheimer's Association, there are several steps you can take to keep your loved ones safe from summer heat. For example:
- Limit the amount of sun exposure your loved one receives during the day – Place outdoor furniture in shaded areas and keep your loved one indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the sun is strongest.
- Help them apply plenty of sunscreen – This is particularly important when they are outside for long periods of time.
- Be sure they drink a sufficient amount of liquids – Provide them with plenty of cool water or their favorite non-alcoholic beverage, and make sure they actually drink it to prevent dehydration.
- Dress your loved one in cool, comfortable clothing –Make sure they are dressed inlightweight clothes and feel your loved one's skin periodically for temperature. A hat with a large brim is also a good choice.
- Keep their living area cool – Use air conditioning or fans to help keep their living space comfortable.
- Limit their exercise to the cooler times of the day –Memory care experts emphasize that exercise is important for your loved one, but it should be limited to cool times of the day and cool areas of the home.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol and high-sugar drinks – Avoid any beverages that could cause them to become dehydrated.
- Restrict access to swimming pools –Swimming pools and hot tubs represent a significant hazard. If you have one, be sure to protect it with a fence and a gate with a lock. Also, cover the pool or hot tub when it is not being used.
- Assure adequate rest – Sufficient rest is also important and your loved one may need a nap or quiet time to help them deal with the heat.
- Utilize safety resources – Take advantage of useful safety resources such as Medic Alert® + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return® to protect your loved one and reduce their risk of wandering.
Elaine adds, "By following these tips from memory care authorities, you can keep your loved one safe from harm while also enabling them to participate in enjoyable summer activities. And remember, social engagement activities are also very beneficial for your loved one with memory loss. Be sure to include them in picnics, backyard get-togethers and walks in the sunshine. Just remember to take the necessary precautions to protect them from becoming overheated."

When You Don't Know What You Think You Know
"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."
—Wayne W. Dyer
I've always been a lousy sailor, once crashed a small one-man Sabot sailboat into a coral reef during my honeymoon in Jamaica. Put a hole in the bow, ended up being rescued by a glass bottom boat redirected to the scene by my bride, who was in another boat, in tears, laughing so hard she wet her pants. Really…who else can say they were saved from certain death by a glass bottom boat directed by a woman with an incontinence problem?
"The brain's primary purpose is deception, and the primary person to be deceived is the owner."
But a friend of mine is an accomplished sailor and she has recently been teaching me the art and science of sailing. As a result, I have been reading a lot of great sailing books, including a wonderful page-turner about Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, and his pursuit of the America's Cup, the most prestigious sailing race of them all. ("The Billionaire and the Mechanic" by Julian Guthrie.)
Guthrie writes that one of Ellison's favorite sociobiology maxims was "The brain's primary purpose is deception, and the primary person to be deceived is the owner." What a great point. It got me thinking about how often we are led astray by our own fantasies and expectations, how we too often see what we expect to see.
Maybe this has happened to you: recently I was looking through a drawer for a favorite pen that I had misplaced, knowing full well that it could not be in that drawer, no way. And it wasn't. An hour later, still missing my pen, I gave that drawer one last look…and there it was.
The Ellison quote reminds me why I love the business I'm in. Builders all too often believe they know what their customers are thinking. They truly believe their quality is excellent, their customer service is sufficiently responsive, and their communication with their buyers is meeting customers' expectations.
Unfortunately, once we review customers' actual evaluations of their experience, the reality is that many of these builders were only deceiving themselves. No one knows more about the sales experience than the person sitting across from the sales person. All you have to do is ask, and then listen. Sure, the truth may punch a hole in your ego right now, but that is better than getting blown out of the water a year from now.

I Kings 4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
God gave Solomon a large heart. He could love. He could care. He could think of others besides himself. That is who I want to be. I want to think of others. I want to care about a lost souls around the world. I want to hurt for those that God has placed in my ministry.
I do not want to be selfish. I am so selfish. I think of me and that is such a small heart. I think of those that are mine. I think of what I want. I must be careful to die to myself and look to Him. I want to be like my Father, my God, my Lord, my Savior, and think of others.
God give me a large heart. Help me to think of others and care what happens to them.

A federal jury on Monday found that a former radio show host groped singer Taylor Swift before a 2013 concert in Denver, and it awarded her a symbolic $1 in damages.
The jury also found that neither Swift's mother nor her radio promotions manager interfered with David Mueller's employment contract when they reported the assault.
Swift issued a statement thanking her attorneys and the judge "for fighting for me and anyone who feels silenced by a sexual assault, and especially anyone who offered their support throughout this four-year ordeal and two-year-long trial process."
Mueller, a former KYGO radio host, sued Swift, her mother and her radio promotions manager, Frank Bell, in 2015. Mueller claimed that they interfered with his employment at KYGO after Bell reported to the station Swift's claims that the host had groped her and said it could have "grave" consequences on the relationship between the singer and the station. Mueller had sought up to $3 million, saying the allegation cost him his job and reputation.
Swift countersued and sought the $1 in damages. She said she wants to serve as an example to other women who have been sexually assaulted.
"That dollar is of immeasurable value," Swift's attorney Douglas Baldridge said after the verdicts were read.
He said Swift had a lot of courage to come forward, and he called her an inspiration to others.
"The right thing happened," Baldridge said. "I think it is a new day because Taylor said this is it. The line is drawn."
The jury — six women and two men — rejected Mueller's claims as it considered six questions during deliberations in the federal civil trial, which began last week. Three of the questions dealt with Mueller's claim and three dealt with Swift's counterclaim.
With their three answers to the counterclaim, jurors found that Mueller assaulted and battered Swift, and then they awarded her the damages she sought. The verdicts came only hours after the jury began deliberations.
The jurors had to reach a unanimous verdict based on a preponderance of evidence, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt as required in criminal trials. A preponderance of evidence is "more probably true than not."
Two teenage Swift fans were among those who watched on a video monitor from an overflow room as the verdicts were being read.
"I could tell Taylor was extremely excited," said Abbey Shaw, 16. "She is putting out a message for women like us: Stick up for yourselves."
"I am so happy because I knew she was right," said 16-year-old Lizzy Howard, speaking of Swift. "Taylor Swift is my idol, and I want to meet her."
Both girls said they were moved by Swift hugging her mother after the verdicts as her mother cried.
"You could tell the love in there," Howard said.
Last week, Swift used blunt language to describe the assault during a meet-and-greet photo session with fans and others before a June 2, 2013, concert at the Pepsi Center.
"He did not touch my rib, he did not touch my hand, he didn't touch my arm, he grabbed my bare ass," she said.
In her statement after the verdicts Monday, Swift spoke about helping other victims.
"I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."
Last week, U.S. District Judge William J. Martinez dismissed Mueller's claims against Swift but allowed his claim against Swift's mother and promotions manager to go forward.
During closings both sides offered dramatically different versions of maybe the most important piece of evidence during the trial: a photograph of Taylor Swift with Mueller and his former girlfriend taken during the photo session.
In his closing argument, Baldridge said Swift spoke on behalf of all women when she testified that "no means no."
"He lost his job because he grabbed her butt and he got caught," Baldridge said. "Now he's trying to save his butt."
But Mueller's attorney Gabe McFarland told jurors that Swift falsely accused Mueller of assaulting her and that accusation destroyed his career.
"Why would Ms. Swift lie? I don't know," McFarland said. "I'm sure she thinks it's true, but the photograph says otherwise."
McFarland crouched down almost like a baseball catcher while demonstrating how low Mueller would have had to go to reach underneath Swift's skirt and grab her. "He would have had to bend down like this."
"Look at Ms. Swift's face. Is that the face of someone who just had a strange man grab her butt?" McFarland said, referring to a smile on Swift's face. He said there was no shock because nothing happened. He said her body was aligned just as it had been during each of the numerous photographs taken of her with various fans.
During his closing argument, Baldridge showed numerous pictures of Swift posing with other fans, most of whom were women with young daughters. He asked the jurors if there was any doubt who the perpetrator had been.
"Boy, she must have confused one of these little girls with Mr. Mueller. … I think it's crystal clear Ms. Swift didn't misidentify this man in that lineup," Baldridge said. The only other adult couple in the group included a young man with long red hair with his arm around Swift's upper back, he said.
The photograph shows Swift moving away from Mueller, who had his hand directly behind her bottom. Baldridge asked jurors to look at the smile on Mueller's face when the picture was taken.
"That is a man who is very proud of what he was doing at that moment," Baldridge said.
He said Mueller was upset that he was placed in the kiddie line and not with his peers and radio executives at another meet-and-greet session earlier.
"I thought we saw a man of fragile ego on the stand," Baldridge said. "They tried to get out of the kiddie line …This man — the prominent on-air personality — was embarrassed."

With skill and care, Sherrill blends traditional American hand craftsmanship such as 8-way hand tied springs with modern manufacturing methods. The result is unparalleled custom-made upholstery to fit most any need. Sherrill's styling follows those same principles by combining timeless design elements with exciting contemporary touches to create one-of-a kind upholstery that you'll treasure for years to come.
Each frame is precisely cut and hand assembled.
Double dowels are utilized in all structural parts to form sturdy, long lasting joints.
To complete construction and add stability to the frame, large precisely cut corner blocks are positioned at each corner where the greatest stress occurs using both glues and screws.
Sherrill mounts a solid interlace web bottom to each frame. Springs of various gauges and heights are securely attached to the full web bottom using clinch fasteners.
Polypropylene covering is used over the 8-way hand-tied springs and the sinuous wire spring backs as a protective shield and to provide a substantial base for various filling materials.
A typical Lawson style back has sinuous wire springs anchored to the frame and held together horizontally by coated wire to prevent turning.
Marshall units are used when thickness of back and styling permits.
Specialized cutters take particular care using individual patterns to create the proper pattern flow.
Specialized technicians perform various sewing tasks using the finest available sewing thread, sewn seven stitches to the inch to assure more durable seams and trouble free wear.
Generous layers of polyester batting and cotton are used in conjunction with urethane foam to achieve just the right contour and comfort.
At Sherrill the standard cushion filling is U-D, a high density reinforced urethane core. Also available is Super UD filling, a high resiliency urethane with 2-1/3 ounce fiber. Both cushions are encased in a sewn casing. Other cushion filling options are spring-down, comfort-down and comfort-fiber. Sherrill offers loose pillow back options fiber-down and Shertrel (standard).
At Sherrill, they are as careful applying a fabric as you are selecting one for your home. Each piece is painstakingly hand-tailored by specialized technicians who have spent years perfecting their trade.
Sherrill's higher standard of quality is assured by thorough inspections throughout the manufacturing process. Skilled inspectors inspect frame, fabric, cutting, sewing and upholstery.
