This is a stimulating and challenging course which aims to develop the student's love of the Spanish language by using it to discuss aspects of modern day society and by analysing its grammar in greater depth than is possible at GCSE level. The skills assessed are the familiar ones of listening, speaking, reading and writing but lessons emphasise discussion and the development of students' views and opinions. In addition to classroom lessons, students also have access to the Spanish Assistant.
Students study various aspects of society, culture and history in Spanish-speaking countries. These are grouped into four main themes.
- Changes in Spanish society
- Political and artistic culture in Spanish-speaking countries
- Immigration and multicultural Spanish society
- The Franco dictatorship and transition to democracy
In addition students will study a Spanish film in year 12 and a literary text in year 13.
The examination board is AQA.
At the end of year 13 students will be assessed on all aspects of the course by means of the following exams.
Unit 1: Listening and Reading
(2 hour 30 minutes exam)
Students will be assessed in these skills across all of the four main themes studied over the two year course. They will also be tested on their ability to translate from Spanish into English.
Unit 2: Writing
(2 hour exam)
Students will be assessed on their ability to criticise and analyse the film and book they have studied, and also to translate into Spanish.
Unit 3: Speaking
(20 minute exam)
Students' speaking abilities are assessed through discussion of one of the main themes and also their individual research project.
Foreign language skills are much sought after in the work place and an A Level in Spanish is good preparation for any student entering employment in the 21st Century. At university Spanish can be studied either in combination with another language or with almost any other subject and leads to careers in sales, marketing, business, journalism, engineering, the civil service – in fact, in just about anything!
Students studying Spanish at this level should normally have 9 to 5 grades in a range of subjects at GCSE level. In order to cope with the level of written accuracy required for A level study, students should have at least a grade 6 in Spanish.

The recent cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment that paralysed the company's computer systems and leaked files online has had serious knock-on effects in Hollywood:
- Five films –Fury, Annie, Turner, Still Alice, and To Write Love on Her Arms – were leaked online and made available to illegally download.
- An early version of the script for the upcoming James Bond flick, SPECTRE, was among material stolen and made public.
- Racist emails from the co-chairman of the studio and chief of its division, Amy Pascal, were made public, which has put her job in serious jeopardy.
- Angelina Jolie apparently 'snubbed' the Sony co-chairperson after a leaked email between Scott Rudin and Amy Pascal labelled her a "minimally talented spoiled brat."
- Princess Beatrice's salary was also leaked online – a mere $30,300 in case you wanted to know.
- Delays have been put on future film releases, including The Throwaways.
According to Variety, at least three of Sony's rivals said they were assessing and upgrading their own systems and protocols in the wake of the breach. The financial damage and the strain that the leaks have put on Sony's operations, employees, and the film industry in general should represent a 'wake-up call' to other businesses.
Organizations looking to secure their systems should do so with the mind-set that they will be compromised at some point. Assuming this, you are more likely to mitigate the impact and potential losses that a data breach can incur.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the globally accepted best practice standard that will help you reduce cyber risk, while giving you competitive advantage by demonstrating compliance with standards and regulations. Its approach covers people, processes, and technology, ensuring that every aspect of cybersecurity is addressed by setting out the requirements for implementing an information security management system (ISMS). With high-profile data breaches on the rise, and pressure from stakeholders and local legislation, many organizations are seeing the benefits of taking action and certifying their ISMS to ISO27001.
Interested in certifying to ISO27001?
IT Governance is a specialist in the field of information security and IT Governance, and has led more than 140 successful certifications to ISO27001 around the world.

Opiate, opiates, opium compounds
The study of opium and the isolation of its constituents
ranks among the most important achievements
in the history of pharmacology (cf. Papaver
somniferum). In ancient times, opium was already
known as the best of all analgesics (cf. soporific
sponge). The isolation of morphine from opium
revolutionized pain therapy in Europe. No other
component of opium has a comparably powerful
effect. The potency of morphine would not be
exceeded until heroin (diacetylmorphine) was
synthesized (Snyder 1989). Subsequent pharmacological
research has led to the creation of
numerous morphine analogs (fentanyls), some of
which are as much as 7,500 times more potent
than morphine (Sahihi 1995,31 ff.*).
The opium alkaloids codeine and morphine
have become culturally significant as psychoactive
substances. Papaverine is used in medicine as a
treatment for impotence.
Some opium alkaloids are also found in other
Papaver species (Papaver spp.), although these
species usually contain only traces of these substances
(Khanna and Sharma 1977; Ktippers et al.
1976; Phillipson et al. 1973; Phillipson et al. 1976).
Aporphines, whose structures are analogous to
those of the opium alkaloids, occur in Papaver
fugax Poir. [syn. Papaver caucasicum M.-B., Papaver
floribundum Desf.] and Nymphaea ampla. Other
substances related to the opium alkaloids are
present in Argemone mexicana, Eschscholzia californica,Nuphar lutea, and Papaver spp.

Chapter 14. Records of the Judiciary Committee and Related Committees
Records of the Judiciary Committee
and Related Committees from Guide to Federal Records in the National
Archives of the United States, 1789-1988
Committee Records discussed in this chapter:
- Committee on Patents (1837-1946)
- Committee on Immigration and Naturalization (1893-1946)
- Committee on Revisal and Unfinished Business (1795-1868)
- Committee on Revision of Laws (1868-1946)

- Committee on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic (1893-1927)
- Committee on Woman Suffrage (1917-27)
- Impeachment Records
- Committee on the Judiciary (1813-1986)
Committee on Revisal and Unfinished Business (1795-1868)
Jurisdiction and History
14.33 The Committee on Revisal and Unfinished Business monitored the business of Congress during its early years when unfinished business was terminated at the end of each session, and it recommended procedures to accomplish the work of Congress leaving as little unfinished business as possible. The committee continued to exist long after its function had become obsolete. In 1868 the duties relating to revision of laws were transferred to the Committee on Revision of Laws, where they remained until that committee was incorporated into the Judiciary Committee in 1947. In 1975 the House Office of the Law Revision Counsel was created to work in close cooperation with the Judiciary Committee.
Records of the Committee on Revisal and Unfinished Business, 4th-40th Congresses (1795-1868)
|Record Type
|Congresses (Dates)
|Petitions and Memorials
|26th (1839-41)
|Committee Papers
|17th (1821-23), 26th (1839-41)
14.34 The committee papers contain two manuscript reports (17A- C24) listing the business remaining at the end of the 1st and 2d sessions of the 17th Congress, and a report from the 2d session of the 26th Congress (1839-41) that comments on the usefulness of extending the session in order to finish certain business (26A-D24). The petitions and memorials contain a petition from "old soldiers and soldiers wives and children," complaining that their claims have not been acted upon for several sessions of Congress and asking that the present session of Congress be extended a few days to deal with claims (26A- G20.1).Related Records
14.35 Related records are filed as committee papers of Select Committees on the Business of the House of Representatives between 1809 and 1825 (11A-C9.1, 12A-C11.1, 13A-D15.1, 14A-C17.1, 15A-D16.1, 18A-C20.2). The records of several of these select committees include documents of joint committee, such as an April 9, 1816, report from the "Joint Committee appointed to inquire into the Expediency of certain alterations of the mode of transacting the business of Congress" (14A-C17.1).

How to Save On Textbooks?
1. Rent Your College Textbooks
If you refuse to spend money on textbooks and are only willing to part with funds which are 100% essential for your education, the best way out for you is renting textbooks. Of course, sometimes you can flip a book and almost not lose any money at all (or sometimes even earn as some textbooks increase in value), but the safest course would be paying only a fraction of a purchase price and get rid of the book at the end of the semester as soon as possible.
every single student can be used to or even familiar with textbook rentals, but if you don't plan on putting the book on the shelf to show off in front of the guests or are going to need it in your future career, you probably wouldn't need to buy the book anyway. The best thing about rentals is that you can pay for only a certain period of time during which you can use the book—and choose the most convenient for your course. In case you end up needing the book longer, you can extend the rental period or just buy it (and maybe sell it back later!).
2. Buy an International Edition
Imagine this situation: you come to a bookstore and see two textbooks: one with a black-and-white cover, and another with a colored one, but it's much more expensive. However, the information contained inside both of them is almost exactly the same. Which one would you end it buying if you can't afford to throw away thousands of dollars on books which are sometimes hardly used by the professors? Of course, the cheaper black-and-white one! The trick is that you have just chosen an international edition. They may be of a slightly worse quality, but it's the quality of knowledge that counts, isn't it.
3. Get an Old Edition
Every year publishers fill the university bookstore shelves with newest editions. However, if you're studying mathematics, for example, it's hardly possible that everything we know about calculus would dramatically change in a few months' time. Why buy the newest textbook fresh off the print then (unless your professor really, really wants you to do the exercises at the end of this one chapter which were not present in the previous edition) if the old ones are still serving their purpose perfectly well? Make sure that the previous edition is acceptable for your course, and then—you're free to go and buy it (and maybe not get broke this time).
Tip: if you end up needing something from the recent edition, you can look it up in the library or ask to check it out in a friend's copy.

Medicos organize organ donation campaign at RG Kar Medical college
Kolkata: A six-month long campaign is being flagged off by the South Asian Medical Students Association(SAMSA) on Organ Donation, as an effort by medical students to generate awareness on the issue, in the state. The campaign was flagged off on November 14, at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH).
Titled 'Donor Cup', the campaign is meant to involve medical students, to improve the dismal state of affairs in organ donation in the state. As against the five cadaver organ donations in 2016, this year has witnessed just one.
"Our objective is to raise awareness about organ donation among the medical fraternity. We will be having a host of programs, which include discussing issues like brain death declaration, Transplant of Human Organ Act (THOA), grief counselling and address social-religious barriers," said Vice President, Internal Affairs, Dr Rishav Mukherjee, SAMSA.
Covering all medical colleges over a span of 6 months, in various phases, the campaign will include hosting of various inter-college competitions, with organ donation as the theme. Story writing, Poster making, Photography, are some of the competitions through which SAMSA intends to generate awareness among the future doctors. Prizes would be given for outstanding performances.
"So far, mostly NGOs did organ donation awareness. Now, since the medical students have taken it upon themselves, the drive will be much more effective. It is a great good initiative and ROTTO will support it in whatever way we can," said Joint Director, ROTTO, (Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant organization), Dr Arpita Ray Chaudhury.
The program will be opened with a talk by Dr Suguta Dasgupta, In-charge, Critical Care unit of RGKRMCH. Dasgupta will talk about brain death declaration; while socio-religious barriers about organ donation will be taken up by Swami Suparananda Maharaj of Ramakrishna Mission.
"It is a good initiative. Inculcating consciousness about brain death and organ donation while they are still medical students will definitely be of great help when they become doctors or consultants," said Dr Sugata Dasgupta, RGKMCH, reports TOI.
In an earlier story done by Medical Dialogues, a mention was made of how the paucity of cadavers in the past was leading to overcrowding on medical college dissection tables and students were not being able to learn through practical examination of the bodies. In some cases, students had been seen passing out of colleges without any hands-on experience on dead bodies, as part of learning, due to a shortage of cadavers.
In an attempt to overcome these shortages the Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (Rotto) has suggested that Organ donation made part of MBBS study curriculum to the West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS).

The SFB-TRR 58 in a nutshell
This SFB has substantially contributed to the scientific profile of the participating universities.
This SFB made a significant scientific mark in the field.
The overriding aims of this SFB are...
- to form a new generation of researchers focusiong on the emotional basis behavior
- to increase the depth if understanding of the mechanistit principles of fear/anxiety
- to direct research towards a significant improvement in diagnostics and treatment of anxiety disorders.
This SFB has shaped educational programs relating to the neural basis of emotion.
This SFB has linked research at German universities focusing on fear/anxiety/anxiety disorders.
This SFB has developed an interdisciplinary concept linking basic and clinical research
"Now is the age of anxiety" (WH Auden. The age of anxiety: a baroque eclogue. Random House, New York 1947).
Although this text has won the Pulitzer Prize more than 60 years ago, it is still highly valid. Anxiety disorders have the highest lifetime prevalence (14-29%) of psychiatric diseases, and often a very early age of onset, thereby imposing an ever-increasing strain on health providers and burden on the economy.
Biologically, fear and anxiety appear to be part of a universal survival strategy, which is generated in anticipation of or in response to stimuli that threaten homeostasis and survival. Perturbations of these systems can lead to prolonged and disproportional states, which in their extreme or pathological forms include panic disorders, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorders.
Not surprisingly, these states are under control of a hierarchy of neural systems, and both genetic and environmental factors crucially determine inter-individual variations in fear and anxiety, during early development as well as later in life.


text: Disney's 'Frozen' Musical Switches Up Dance Moves 3:51 PM PDT 6/5/2016 by THR Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of The Walt Disney Company Elsa Frozen - H 2014 Tony winner Christopher Gattelli is in advanced negotiations to step in for previously announced choreographer Peter Darling, who has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Christopher Gattelli, who won a Tony Award in 2012 for Disney Theatrical Productions' Newsies, looks set to step in as choreographer on the company's eagerly anticipated stage musical adaptation of Frozen. Disney confirmed over the weekend that talks are underway with Gattelli to replace the previously announced choreographer Peter Darling, who is exiting the production because of scheduling conflicts with the upcoming Groundhog Day musical, premiering in London this summer prior to its Broadway bow in early 2017. Directed by Alex Timbers, the stage version of Frozen will be unrelated to the theme-park incarnation that debuted last month at Disneyland in California. The Broadway-bound show reunites screenwriter Jennifer Lee (who also co-directed the movie) with composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, best original song Oscar winners for "Let It Go." Given the 2013 animated feature's global box-office haul of close to $1.3 billion, expectations are high for the musical to become Disney's next live-entertainment juggernaut. The production will have a pre-Broadway tryout in August 2017 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, with a New York opening in spring 2018. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter early in the project's gestation, Thomas Schumacher, president and producer at Disney Theatrical Group, said of the planned musical, "It doesn't need to be fast. It needs to be great." While the Disney stage division had Broadway disappointments with its musical adaptations of Tarzan and The Little Mermaid, its hits have dominated, notably the global blockbuster The Lion King and more recent stablemate Aladdin, which has done stellar business since opening in New York in March 2014. The Lion King — which is approaching its 20th anniversary on Broadway and in 2014 became history's top-grossing entertainment title across all platforms — was the highest earner once again in the Broadway season that just wrapped, raking in $102.7 million, while Aladdin came in third, with $80.9 million. The latter show is opening international satellite productions this summer in London and Sydney. In addition to Newsies, Gattelli's work as a choreographer on Broadway includes the Tony-winning revivals of South Pacific and The King and I. Casting for Frozen has not yet been announced.

Traveling 270 miles within the Sunshine State, U.S. 301 originates in Downtown Sarasota. A mostly-arterial style route takes the US highway northward through Bradenton, Palmetto and Ellenton, with a U.S. 41 overlap across the Manatee River. Swinging east from Exit 224 of Interstate 75, U.S. 301 becomes a rural two lane road north of Parrish only to gain more suburban frontage from Sun City Center northward to Riverview.
Meeting Interstate 75 again at Exit 254, U.S. 301 traverses industrial areas east of Tampa before turning east again from near Temple Terrace to Thonotosassa and Zephyrhills. An overlap with U.S. 98 takes U.S. 301 north through Pasco County to Dade City. U.S. 98 turns west to Brooksville ahead of the Hernando County line as U.S. 301 remains north to Ridge Manor, Bushnell and Wildwood along a mostly rural route.
U.S. 27/441 combine with U.S. 301 at Belleview for an overlap into Downtown Ocala. There U.S. 27 turns west for Williston and Perry while U.S. 301 remains paired with U.S. 441. North from Ocala, U.S. 301 provides the main route, and a trucking corridor, between Interstate 75 and the Interstate 95 corridor at Jacksonville. As such the route carries four lanes with 65 mile per hour speed limits in rural areas.
Florida State Road 24 ties into U.S. 301 from Gainesville at Waldo. Waldo, until the city police department was disbanded in 2014 following allegations of ticketing quotas, was the first of three towns along U.S. 301 known for rigid speed enforcement. Hampton was another until 2014, when it also decommissioned its police force. Starke, in addition to being the Bradford County seat, is also where traffic congestion increased along U.S. 301, especially southbound. This changed with construction of the Starke Truck Route (U.S. 301 Alternate), a 7.3 mile long limited access bypass for U.S. 301 to the west. Lawtey, seven miles to the north of Downtown Starke, rounds out the rigid speed enforcement ahead of a rural and straight stretch of U.S. 301 into Duval County (Jacksonville) and the town of Baldwin.
Baldwin lies at the cross roads of U.S. 90 and U.S. 301 and two railroad corridors. The town includes a large railroad yard and several truck stops. The dog leg U.S. 301 takes along side U.S. 90 creates issues with turning trucks, so a bypass is planned to take the route northward to avoid the overlap with U.S. 90. This new alignment, currently slated as SR 201, will tie into existing U.S. 301 leading northeast to Callahan and U.S. 1/23. This stretch is expanded to four lanes, to compliment the four-lane portion of U.S. 1-23-301 northwest to Hilliard and Folkston, Georgia.

- State Road 25
Where U.S. 301 joins U.S. 27 and 441 at Belleview, SR 35 emerges as its own route, with SR 25 taking over along side SR 500 northward into Ocala.
- State Road 500
SR 500 is the counterpart to U.S. 27 through Marion County, following U.S. 301 and 441 between Belleview and Ocala.
- State Road 200

Would ya looky here! Looks like someone over at Innovative Singapore has posted a video that shows what it would be like to turn on a WinPho 7 phone for the very first time.
The device shown in the video (and to the right) is the LG Panther, which has been making its way around the webs for a little while now.
It seems that LG will ditch the "Panther" monicker for a much more memorable "GW910", which is an issue I'll be taking up with their marketers directly*.
It's clearly mentioned in the video (and original article) that this is still a pre-production device, sent out so apps can be tested on real hardware (rather than an emulator), and, as such, it's stll very rough around the edges. Still, it's nice to see the kind of UI experience you can expect from the Big M's much overdue Windows Mobile revamp.
However, the most interesting thing in the video is the boot time: if you've ever booted a smartphone from the last 2 years or so, you'd know that it can often be an excruciatingly long experience. It remains to be seen if the production device can retain this speedy boot time after the final OS has been loaded, but it's encouraging to see speeds like this at this time.
Also, prior to previous reports, a Live ID isn't needed to boot the device (but will be for Xbox Live and Zune Marketplace integration). But, once again, pre production model blah blah…
Anyway, enough of me, go check out that video!
*not really.

It's not too late to enter your ancestral bad hair photos in my blog contest. See details in last week's post. I can't wait until you see what folks sent in!
In the meantime, it's time for another photo mystery. This one is a 20th century challenge.
Nancy Yates sent in a few pictures of her father, taken when he was about 15 years old, between 1930 to 1932. In the first one, he's standing alone wearing a uniform with plain sleeves.
In the second he's wearing a different uniform with hash marks on the sleeve indicating his rank of corporal. He's standing with his sister.
The mystery is the uniform. It doesn't look like a Boy Scout uniform. It's too bad I can't read the pin on his hat or the badge on his other sleeve.
Nancy knows her Dad once served in the Civilian Conservation Corp as an adult. Men had to be at least 17 years old to serve in the CCC.
So what uniform is it? I'm not sure. There were several groups for teens in the 1930s. The 4-H Club, the Future Farmers of America and the Junior Birdmen of America are a few prominent groups, but this uniform doesn't represent any of those organizations. A great book on the period is William H. Young and Nancy K. Young's The 1930s (Greenwood Press, $25.00).
One lead is a group sponsored by the American Legion. They formed the Air Cadets in 1933, to train young men as pilots in case of war.
Do you have any ideas? I'm still looking.

How Do I Choose the Best Chevre Cheese?
When choosing chevre cheese, it is important to consider the type of cheese, information about the producing company, and any additions that may alter the flavor. It also helps to think about how the cheese will be used; the ideal chevre, or goat cheese, for spreading on crostini may not be the same chevre used to concoct a tangy grilled cheese sandwich. It may also help to taste the cheese before buying, to make sure the consistency and flavor meets expectations.
Chevre comes in many different shapes, sizes, and varieties. While most people are familiar with soft goat cheese, which is sold in logs or tubs, there are also semi-soft and aged hard goat cheeses as well. Gouda and cheddar are both types of firm cheese that can be created with goat milk instead of the more familiar cow milk version, and can provide a wonderful variation in flavor to these classic cheeses. The process of aging deepens and smooths the flavors of chevre as well as altering the texture; a brand new, soft goat cheese will be soft, crumbly and quite tangy, while an aged goat cheddar will usually be firm with a mild, though still noticeable, bite.
Choosing the best chevre cheese can be made easier by knowing something about the grower. Some of the best chevre in the world comes from artisan cheese-makers with relatively small operations. These artisans may be able to quickly describe the flavor characteristics of each type of cheese, how it is best incorporated into recipes, and even which specific goat provided the milk. Farmers can also answer questions about the condition of the animals, their diet, and whether the cheese is created using organic methods and ingredients. For those concerned about animal welfare or environmental health issues, speaking directly to the cheesemaker can answer important questions.
Not all chevre cheese is alike; many contain different flavoring agents to create a unique taste. Herbed goat cheese may come coated in a light herbal layer, or incorporate herbs such as oregano, basil, or chives throughout the cheese. Some goat cheese may come with fruits or nuts incorporated, creating a unique spreadable dessert or breakfast cheese. For a beautiful presentation, consider a chevre that has been coated in edible flowers, such as nasturtiums.
When deciding between different types of chevre cheese, it may help to consider what recipes are desired. For salads, spreads, and dips, using a soft chevre cheese can be an ideal choice. Pasta dishes, such as lasagna, may work better with a semi-soft variety, which has better melting properties. For a truly unique cheeseburger, pizza, or grilled cheese, consider using a firm goat cheese, such as goat's milk cheddar.

Meteor (DOS)
Not an American user?
DescriptionA simple "character graphics arcade game" which puts the player in charge of an ASCII smiley face. The objective: erase the solid blocks and avoid getting splattered by falling meteors. Points are scored by consuming the 3 rectangular target blocks, or the trails left by the meteors as they streak across the screen; for each block hit by a meteor, you lose a point instead. The difficulty level determines the location of the blocks: the higher it is, the closer they are to the top of the screen where the meteors are spawned.
Meteor! was created as an experiment by the author to test the capabilities of his university's then-new IBM PCs, which came without the optional color graphics or joysticks, and see if an arcade-like game could be written in BASIC despite those shortcomings. This version was later republished in Creative Computing Magazine. The PC/Blue series of shareware/freeware compilation disks included a modified version of the game; here, the difficulty level increases as you progress, and every 1000 points the blocks are automatically redrawn higher up the screen.

Dear Friends of Canada,
See you all this Monday, Oct 15, at 19.30, at our NEW VENUE (across from the old one) at: Neo Elleniko/Νέο Ελληνικόν – 126 Aghia Paraskevi St, tel. 210 6858597 – (Beside the Aghia Paraskevi metro station – free Elleniko parking down their back lane – entry off Aghia Paraskevi St)

We ask you to please bring a supermarket bag with dry goods, fruits and vegetables to this, and every, Canada Night (see message from Welfare Network, below).
A reminder about our Réseau Franco-Canadien/Franco-Canadian Network excursion, FRIDAY, 19.00, October 12, in Thissio (email@example.com )
Also note a change in the date of the Canadian Institute in Greece lecture by Mary Dabney ("Consumerism, Debt, and the End of the Bronze Age Civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean") – from Wednesday 31 October to Thursday 1 November.
FOOD/CLOTHING FOR THOSE IN NEED. Friends of Canada 'Welfare Network' facilitator Polis Pantelidis(email@example.com ) tells us: "The Welfare Network is supporting the Salvation Army's 'Adopt a Family' project. Attached, you'll find one of our current case studies – each person we help is confidentially tracked in this transparent matter, to ensure maximum efficiency. You will see the specific food & clothing goods this family needs in the attachment, but there are various (similar) needs for other individuals, so feel free to bring other goods.
"Everyone needs to be respected and valued for who s/he is. Walking alongside individuals in this time of crisis is something that highlights our common humanity. You might have heard the story of the little boy who, while walking along the seafront, saw that a great number of fish had having been washed up onto the beach for an unknown reason. The boy ran and started throwing the fish back into the water one by one. A man walking by saw what the little boy was doing and said to him, 'There are so many, you cannot make a difference no matter how hard you try.' The little boy answered, 'I know, Sir, but I can make a difference to this one' and he threw the fish he had in his hand back into the water.
"Friends of Canada, we can make a significant difference to someone's life today." .

I have taken many animal communications courses with many great people – but all the negative things like don't drink soda , meditate , I had many great hits and my small town and negativity came in = James lets me connected so easy and I am so happy to pursue this , Thank you
My friend bought your animal communication course cd for me. I had previously listened to many, many free tips, two small courses, one large $130, but although I could randomly communicate well, ACT1 was the only program that could EVER help me with my communication block, and now I can communicate with increasing confidence and ease. Now its time to be looking into the Trust Technique. Thank you deeply, James, for helping me.
Whats most amazing to me about a miracle is to realize it happens on me, very often in a natural manner. The most important lesson I have learnt from this workshop is that miracle is a creation, we dont go anywhere else for it but create it in the here and now. We are our own possibilities. Thank James!!
This is an excellent learning package and allows you to become familiar with the methods using the CDs and practice before the live workshop. James has an inclusive, down to earth style of teaching that anybody can relate to, whatever their background or belief system .Its the simplest and most enjoyable method I have come across and James love for this work is contagious.
The CDs have given me a real and consistent way of receiving the feelings I had occasionally felt from animals.

ICOFOM Annual Meeting
The purpose of the ICOFOM Annual Meeting is to create an international forum for a high level discussion on a museological topic. Usually, the topic is different each year, but sometimes it is analyzed over a three year period.
Approaches to museology vary widely around the world, for example, using museums to make statements about nationalism is given priority in some countries. In others, conservation and the exhibition of highly aestheticized, non-controversial artefacts, are regarded as the primary roles for museums. By contrast, in other nations, the development of "histories from below" or the salvaging of the histories of the lives of people who were regarded as having no value, is now a primary museological focus. The wide international variety of museologies means that the annual meeting has fundamental importance for the expression and recording of these differences.
When the meeting date is announced, the call for conference papers is accompanied by a provocative paper which is published on the website setting out some of the avenues for exploration of any particular topic. An international editorial panel acts as a panel of referees making a selection of papers which are published and available at the beginning of the conference. The annual meeting proceeds via lively debate informed by prior reading of the papers, rather than via the unilateral delivery of individual papers.
The meetings take place all over the world allowing conference attendees to gain insight into a broad array of concrete museological expressions. Every three years the ICOFOM meeting takes place within the framework of the ICOM Triennial and is accompanied by elections which establish the executive committee and office bearers for the coming three years.

"We are excited about the rapid growth of our company," said Ken Hite, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ClearMechanic. "We pride ourselves on being the pioneers of visual selling in automotive services and this growth reinforces our belief that 'mobile-first' solutions are taking over."
ClearMechanic's visual selling service enables technicians and service employees to take real-time vehicle photos or video clips of a customer's vehicle and instantly share them via e-mail and text message. ClearMechanic also posts photos and video clips to the service center's website in real time and stores them permanently for follow-up marketing and warranty purposes.
ClearMechanic attributes the company's growth in registered technicians to two primary factors. First, ClearMechanic is a 'mobile-first' solution that is specifically designed to capitalize on the rising adoption of smartphones. Hite notes that, "Other companies have developed mobile applications as extensions of existing desktop or web software, which often hurts the mobile experience."
Second, ClearMechanic is the only major company to create iPhone and Android applications targeted specifically at automotive service centers. ClearMechanic tailors its services to the business processes of the automotive industry, understanding the various stakeholders and users involved – consumers, technicians, service advisors, service managers, warranty administrators and support personnel – and the importance of integration with Dealer and Shop Management Systems.

SOON after water was turned on in a great pipe line in Colorado, trouble began with the joints. There were several hundred of them, all told, twenty-seven being in tunnels through the rock. In some cases, the sand nearby was caught up by the water jets, hydraulic sand blasts were created, and threatened with their cutting power the very integrity of the pipe and rivets.
A NEW form of amusement park device that takes the thrill-seeker aloft in circling swoops has been installed on the "Zone" at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The device consists of a steel arm, nearly 250 feet long, which is pivoted at one end, and carries a car for passengers at the other. The whole mechanism revolves on a turntable, so that as the arm rises, the car is carried around in an ascending spiral.

From the top of the tower to the ground is over fifty feet, while the huge pyre measures over thirty feet at the base. The tower of the pile is an imitation of the Sather Campanile, one of the new buildings of the University of California.

Sevier County - Unsafe ice conditions have forced the Division of Wildlife Resources to cancel one of Utah's most popular fishing events.
The Fish Lake Perch Tournament, scheduled to begin on Feb. 24, will not be held this year.
"Safety is our top priority," says Richard Hepworth, Southern Region aquatic manager for the DWR. "Unfortunately, the ice isn't safe enough to hold a large event at Fish Lake this year. And, based on the long-term weather forecast, we don't think the ice conditions will improve much between now and Feb. 24."
Even though the tournament has been canceled, you still have a chance to win a prize. DWR biologists have placed tags on 1,000 yellow perch in the lake. If you catch a tagged fish between Feb. 3 and Aug. 31, take it to the Fish Lake Resort Store, or the Bowery Haven Resort, for a chance to win a firearm donated by Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife. The prize drawing will be held Sept. 1.
"The more tagged fish you catch," Hepworth says, "the more chances you have to win."
Even though the ice at Fish Lake can't support a large tournament event-almost 2,000 people have attended the event every year it's been held-there are still spots that are safe for individual anglers and small groups.
"We encourage people to take advantage of these conditions and go fishing," Hepworth says. "Just be safe, and check ice conditions before venturing too far from shore."
You can get the latest ice conditions for Fish Lake by calling Fish Lake Resort at 435-638-1000. Weekly updates are available from the DWR at ../../dwr/fishingreports_south.php.

Tempe Diablo Stadium
Designated as the spring training home of the Anaheim Angels through 2025, this 9,000-capacity-stadium was built into a small hillside at the base of Twin Buttes rock formation. Established in 1968, the arena's bleacher-style benches overlook Gene Autry Field, which was named after the original owner of the Anaheim Angels. There are also traditional chair-back seats with cup holders between the dugouts and an open lawn area above left field. A $20 million renovation, in 2005, replaced the outfield fence with brick and wrought iron and added premium seats behind a wider backstop. The complex is surrounded by 75-acres of practice fields.

Welcome to Vodafone Community
I really don't know where to start...
Having been a Vodafone mobile customer for a while I decided after a long up and down ride with BT Infinity to give Vodafone Superfast a go.
Connected on June 17th 2019 with no issue at all even guaranteed 15% discount due to lack of speed... Anyway..
Last Saturday I stopped that Vodafone where offering a free Echo plus speaker to new contracts so knowing that shy kids get nothing I asked if I could get one via live chat... "That shouldn't be a problem.. just call this number they'll send you one"
Called number "yes you can if you cancel and start a new contract but you'll have to send your router back then we'll send you another router asking with your speaker .."
Couldn't understand the logistics behind that so I said don't bother.
5 days later I'm disconnected and have been told by staff that it shouldn't have been disconnected but I won't be able to get reconnected till 5th August.... 5 calls later.... There's no room in the cabinet so there's a chance we won't be able to offer you service at all.
No mobile dongle as an interim ... Nothing
What am I to do????
Frustrated from Northumberland
@lee1970 I'm sorry to hear you've been disconnected in error, we'll need to look at your account to look into what's caused this and get to a resolve. So one of our team can take a closer look into this for you, please get in touch via Facebook at Vodafone UK, or contact us on Twitter using the handle @VodafoneUK.
Alternatively, you can speak to an adviser using Live Chat. Please also provide a link to this thread, along with your username; this will save time and we'll be able to help you quicker.

6. Salt to taste
7. White pepper crushed – ½ tsp
8. Butter – 1 tbsp
9. Oil – 1 tsp
10. Italian seasoning – 1 tsp (optional)

NEW YORK—The 180-room, 22-story Archer New York, a new-build boutique hotel, has opened in Manhattan's Garment District.
Manhattan-based Glen and Company's Glen Coben led the architectural design of the property, its restaurant and the rooftop bar on the 22nd floor.
The design was inspired by the hotel's neighborhood with industrial elements like exposed brick and steel and butcher-block tiled flooring. The dress sculpture on the patio by Thea Lanzisero encompasses the Garment District-inspired design. David Burke fabrick, the property's restaurant, continues this theme with a collage of colorful fabrics hanging, high ceilings and restored wood from a 1770s barn.
The guestrooms were designed with a quartet of design palettes from Coben, and guests do not know which of the four room designs they will stay in. Elements such as custom drapery, the bed's headboard, ottoman, throw pillow and blanket are different in the four designs. Corner accommodations on the upper floors, called the Archer rooms, will have additional differences such as wood floors and an exposed brick wall at the head of the bed. Archer's Den has a tufted sectional sofa, walk-in shower and Archer's favorite books and finds to further differentiate it from the other rooms. Guestrooms feature a platform bed with drawers underneath, a tufted-leather ottoman that doubles as a table and a 42-in. flat-panel TV.
The property features a custom-designed and curated furniture collection, an art collection and a house deck of playing cards that features more than 50 tips of courtesy. If a member of the hotel staff sees a guest displaying one of these tips, they could receive a "Class Act" card, worth $10, that can be used in the property's lobby bar, restaurant or rooftop bar. The cards also play into a loyalty program of sorts from Archer; guests receive a "Destination Joker" when they check in, which are also worth $10. Guests can collect these cards to make an "Archer Flush," which earns the guest a free night at an Archer property of the guest's choosing.
The art, curated by Manhattan-based art advisor Deborah Goodman Davis, feature sculptures, digital art, quilts and traditional pieces. Many of the hotel's elements are locally sourced, such as lights made in Brooklyn, millwork hailing from Queens and custom upholstered furniture from Westchester.
Amenities include Burke in the Box in-room dining, an on-site fitness room, Frette towels and bathrobes, Malin+Goetz bath amenities, a Nespresso and stocked minibar, a lobby business center and complimentary WiFi and newspapers.

Today, I'm so excited because I've been waiting for weeks for the release of the first single from Dr. Guthrie Ramsey's musical project, The Colored Waiting Room and it's finally here! Much of Black Social Media has been buzzing about this project for weeks. I know I have.
Before I get to the sassy part, let me give you the fussy, academic stuff. Please be patient, now.
Hailing from the "Up South" Mecca of South Side Chicago, Dr. Guthrie Ramsey is a former elementary and high school music teacher who earned his Ph.D. in musicology at the University of Michigan. He's the author of Race Music: Black Cultures From Be-Bop to Hip Hop (University of California Press, 2003), which was named outstanding book of the year by the International Association for the Study of Popular Music. Dr. Ramsey also has the distinction of being recognized as a Thurgood Marshall Dissertation Fellow at Dartmouth, a DuBois Institute Fellow at Harvard, and a recipient of the Lowens Award, from the Society for American Music for best article on an American music topic. Currently, he's the Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Term Professor of Music at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA.
Now here's the good part.
What I like about Guthrie Ramsey is that he's a "regular brother" who just happens to also be a seriously brilliant musician with his own Philadelphia band, Dr. Guy's Musiqology. And you'll see his brilliance and the beauty of his music when you download (for FREE) and listen to "Stolen Moments," the first single off his new CD, The Colored Waiting Room, sung by the inimitable Denise King.
But you now why I'm even more excited? Because "Bruh Guthrie" (as I call him) asked me to contribute a "meditation" for the first single! Here are a few lines from what I wrote:
….now when can you come over? Maybe around midnight, later? It's been a while. (If you like, I'll say please.) I miss you. You miss me. Of course, I know you do. You miss how we…
Sidebar: Y'all didn't know that side of me, did you? Please don't tell nobody that sometimes, though I am always ladylike, I'm not always well-behaved.
To read the rest of my "Stolen Moments" meditation inspired by the beautiful single sung by Denise King, and also to see a fabulous short film about the entire project known as The Colored Waiting Room, click here and scroll down. (It's a different site from the download site.)
And have a great weekend! I know whenever I listen to new music, it always makes me feel good.

The Oka Crisis of 1990 pitted Indigenous activists against the Canadian army and saw journalists literally caught in the middle. And it was a baptism of political fire for a young CAJ.
The CAJ, or the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) as it was known then, was little more than a decade old. Early on, it had focused naturally on conferences and supporting investigative journalism, but it was hardly known to the outside world and the general public. Oka would help change that and it would inspire many advocacy battles by the CAJ in the years to come.
In March of 1990, Mohawks in Kanehsatà:ke erected a blockade to stop bulldozers from building a golf course on land they considered sacred.
There was a tense standoff, with a Surete de Quebec officer killed. Eventually 4,000 Canadian troops were called in, surrounding the Mohawks and the armed Warriors.
If you weren't there or following news reports at the time, it's hard to imagine to smouldering tensions, the hatred and the fear that much more violence could explode.
Into that cauldron came the journalists -- because that's our job. At various times, reporters from many media outlets, including the CBC, Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citizen, the Globe and Mail, and La Presse, were behind the lines, trying to document the events. Photos and TV images of confrontations between Mohawk Warriors and Canadian soldiers flashed around the world.
Equally hard for any plugged-in journalist under 40 today to imagine is that back then, cell phones were relatively new and clunky, with little battery power, and the Internet as a daily news source was still a decade away. Journalists were a lifeline in getting the news out, but it wasn't easy – and the army didn't make it any easier.
I was president of the CIJ/CAJ that year. With my colleague Alain Saulnier, a Radio-Canada veteran who was president of the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec, we went to the front lines to meet the Armed Forces commanders. We wanted to negotiate for an end to the harassment of journalists trying to do their job and for basic assistance such as cell phones batteries and other material.
What was significant is that the Canadian army chiefs agreed to meet with us in the first place. In effect, the CIJ/CAJ was recognized as an important independent voice for Canadian journalists.
I remember pulling up the barricades with Alain, making our way through the army vehicles and heavily armed soldiers. We were greeted by two commanders, who ushered us into a tent that I supposed served as their command post.
Then came a scene I will never forget. Alain and I took out our pens and pads to take notes (remember, smart phones and tablets were still sci-fi back then) and laid them on the wooden table. Plunk.
The two army commanders took off their guns and placed them on the table. With a much louder plunk!
The pen maybe mightier than the sword, but not that day.
Needless to say, we did not sway our military counterparts. The army would not budge and refused to treat journalists any differently than any of the other "fighters" behind the lines.
We would find out 20 years later that the battle for media access in times of crisis had been hotly debated all the way up to the Prime Minister's top advisors in the Privy Council Office (PCO) in Ottawa.
Harry Swain, who at the time was the federal deputy minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, revealed in a book he wrote in 2010 that he and others felt that the "serious armed insurrection" was becoming "a continuing photo op for the media."
Ottawa wanted to cut off communications from behind the lines.
Here is the good news: At least one person dissented: a deputy minister of Justice argued that "cutting off outside communications would be an infringement of … human rights."
But here's the bad news: Sadly, his advice was not heeded.
Instead, Swain says the PCO decided the "media circus" had to end. "The Department of National Defense applied for warrants," he wrote. "Bell Canada was instructed to inactivate the phones it could, and the army would jam the rest."
Still, back at Oka, we continued our advocacy. We campaigned. We spoke on radio and TV. We stood up and were heard as a voice for Canadian journalists and their rights.
Journalists from the Ottawa Citizen and Montreal Gazette journalists went to court to contest the treatment the meted out during the Oka Crisis. It did not end well.
Federal Court Justice Marcel Joyal found that "freedom of the press . . . does not confer any special status on media people."
Still he acknowledged that "the role normally exercised by journalists is one which is fundamental to a free and democratic society. This is the role which the plaintiffs have voluntarily undertaken by maintaining their vigil in the compound and by continually filing their stories. In so doing, the plaintiffs are exercising their right to stay there."
By September, the Mohawk Warriors surrendered and most of the leaders were arrested. Several journalists would eventually write books or make documentaries about their experiences.
We fought the good fight. And we kept on fighting.
Soon after the Oka Crisis was over, the first Gulf war ("Operation Desert Shield") was in full swing and once again, we took on the Canadian military, pushing for free and unfettered access.
That year, we also testified before a Parliamentary committee for the first time, speaking out against media cutbacks and concentration.
And in the years since, the CAJ has kept on fighting for access to information and to the courts, against police seizure of reporters' materials, against harassment and censorship -- and on so many other fronts.
It's what we do.
It is what makes the CAJ such an important voice, 40 years and counting.
April 15, 2018
Julian Sher is the Senior Producer of CBC's The Fifth Estate and a member of the CAJ for almost all of its 40 years.
