Note tho that they download the exams every morning and its a real pain to set up. you are better off booking at least a week before to get the day/time you want.

The Prodigiorum Ac Ostentorum Chronicon, a text by Conrad Lycosthenes, is one of the best-illustrated books of the Renaissance depicting medieval superstition. On page 494 is a woodcut showing what seems to be a spaceship seen over Arabia in 1479.
In 1557, at the same time that Nostradamus was making his predictions, another scholar, Conrad Lycosthenes, published a comprehensive anthology of the history of strange, wonderful and terrifying events and creatures from Adam and Eve until his own time.
They include sightings of Halley's comet, plagues of locusts, disfigured animals, meteor showers, sea monsters, fires, floods and famines.
Many argue that the most famous image in the book is of a comet seen over Arabia in 1479 which resembles a space rocket. But this illustration is still popular among UFO enthusiasts, ensuring that Lycosthenes' name lives on.
After all… what do you see? A comet, or a possible space rocket/ship?
The book is now held at the Australian Museum Research Library.
The Latin text to on the woodcarving reads: "In Arabia cometa in modum trabis acutissimae, acuarijs quasi punctis distinctae, cum falce phoenaria uisus est. Eodem anno totam Carinthiã uastarut Turce. Cruciferi cõtra Polonos bellum pararunt. In Vngaria foedus inter Mathiam ac Vladislaum renouatum. In Creta insula (ut a Coccio Sabellico lib.i.").

The Peretz Centre has celebrated Purim in a variety of ways. Usually, our school programs have a party that includes a reading of the megillah (the story of Purim), sometimes conventional, sometimes humourous; costumes; hamentashn and games. Sometimes our monthly Fraytik tsu nakht Shabbes dinner has morphed into an adult Purim party, again with costumes, hamentashn, and alcohol.
From our How to talk Jewish to your kids: A resource guide for secular progressive families, by Daniel Bakan, PhD:
The festival of Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). The festival marks the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia, when they were rescued by Queen Esther (a young Jewish woman chosen as a bride by the King of Persia) and her Uncle Mordechai from the king's advisor's plot to destroy the Jews.
Commonly accepted as a "non-fiction" account, many scholars believe the holiday has its roots in ancient fertility festivals and masquerades that may predate Jewish history. In the traditions of Jewish Mysticism, Purim is seen as an archetypical holiday about the defeat of evil in the world, and the story contains many symbols that refer to esoteric texts and Kabbalistic traditions. It is also a time of revelry and drunkenness. Maimonides wrote: "What is the obligation of the [Purim] feast? That one should eat meat … and drink wine until he is drunk and falls asleep from drunkenness" (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Megillah, 2:15). It is also told that on Purim, one should get so drunk that one cannot tell the difference between Haman (the bad guy) and Mordechai (one of the heroes).
Aside from the drunkenness of the adults, this holiday is traditionally a wonderful time for children, with costumes, games, special foods, parties and celebrations. (One special food eaten at this holiday is hamentashn, a triangular pastry pocket (thought to be the shape of Haman's hat) with a sweet filling that could be prunes, poppyseed, nuts, jam, chocolate, or other similar filling.)
The story of Purim however, can be a bit challenging for Secular Humanist Jews trying to "heal the trauma" that is deeply embedded in our traditions from centuries of persecution. There is a joke that all Jewish holidays are about the theme "They tried to kill us, they didn't, lets eat", and this can indeed be seen as one of the themes of Chanukah and Passover. Purim is the epitome of this narrative, and if we are trying to raise our children to connect with the joy of being Jewish rather than the tragedy, we may have to be a bit creative with how we tell the tale.

Seashells, seaweed, sand… these are all things we expect to see on the beach. But people have found more than that by the ocean. What about a giant eyeball or a mysterious creature?
20. The countdown takes a split to the Netherlands. A storm caused a few cargo containers to wash up the North Sea Islands releasing dozens of banana for dwelling beachgoers. Locals had grabbed bunches of bananas helping themselves to clean up the mess. It's not entirely sure what happened to the bunches of unripe fruit but a beach official suggested that they be donated to neighboring zoos, or you could be like this little girl and take some home for a banana sundae!
19. While we're still on the subject of food, more than hundreds of cases of Doritos landed on a North Carolinian beach. The packages were still sealed fresh and came in a variety of flavors from Cool Ranch to Nacho Cheese. As news of the chip landmine quickly spread, volunteers had no problem cleaning up. A Doritos spokesperson announced that they had tried to notify the container ship of the incident. High currents and storms are sometimes the cause of containers loosely spilling into the ocean as the impact can be high. Maybe burgers and beer will wash up on shore and we can have a full meal!
18. After a container spill in 1997, millions of Legos have been mysteriously appearing on the coastline of Cornwall. Some toys found include; a Lego dragon, octopuses, daisy flowers and various toy kits from RoboForce, Police, Divers, and Pirates. With Lego toys often resurfacing, environmentalists suggested scuba divers swim to the ocean floor to retrieve the pesky toys, claiming the deterioration of the plastic is harmful to the ocean. I mean, come on, it's just Legos! It's likely that sea currents are pushing the Lego Toys furthering into the North Sea. The findings of Lego toys have been a fun commodity, for collectors, kids and people of all ages.
17. A packing case of more than 20,000 rubber ducks have been drifting ashore to beaches like Alaska, Australia, Hawaii, South America and even in the Arctic. When the incident first occurred in 1992, beach goers are still surprised to find them more than twenty three years later. Scientists and climatologists have been using the rubber toys understand our oceans current patterns and tracking the orbit of the Earth! Keep floating on little duckies!
16. With one of the more grotesque things to appear on the countdown, detached human feet have been known to surface the shores of British columbia, Canada and in the U.S. With at least 15 reported cases, only five feet of four people have been identified as belonging to one woman, five men and one unknown. With the feet being found in sneakers such as Adidas, Reebok, and Nike. Proposed explanations believe that the feet may have been from suicidal victims or the deceased from a plane crash. The families of those who have been identified would like to remain anonymous. Investigations are still ongoing.
15. In 2012, a blue giant fresh eyeball was found on a Florida beach by Gino Covacci, a local passerby. When he stumbled upon the eye, he wrapped it in ice to be sent for testing. No, it doesn't belong to the lochness sea monster, but experts conclude from the structure, size, and color of the eye that it belongs to a swordfish estimating that it was around at least 1, 200 pounds. Covacci describes the eye appearing to be "fresh…." when he first found it. Scientists think the mystery of how the eye ended up on land is possibly a fisherman may have caught the swordfish, gutted it, and cleaned it, then dumped the remaining parts back into the sea.
14. So birds habit the beach all the time right? Yeah but not dead ones! More than 7,000 birds scattered along the Alaskan coast. The most common specie affected is the common murre, with 80 percent of them making up the deaths. Starvation was ruled to be the cause as fish started disappearing due to the acclimating temperatures. With not enough prey to supply the birds, at least 2,000 are dying a day, although a certain number is hard to determine with many desolate areas in Alaska. The seabirds alarming death rate play a crucial role in disrupting the health of the ecosystem. Oh no, save Earth!
13. On the beaches of Washington, Oregon, Florida and California, Velella velella are drawing in massive crowds. The hydrozoans also known as "purple sailors" float onto the open sand after winds and warm water cause them to be pushed onto shore. Although, they are similar to the Portuguese Man-of -War jellyfish, they are nontoxic to humans, but should still avoid touching one's face, eyes, and mouth after handling these jellyfish like creatures. They can grow up to 3 inches long, their bodies contain a clear flap which helps glide them softly onto shore.
12. In 2006, an unidentified sea monster was found by soldiers on a beach in Sakhalin, Russia. A Sakhalin Research officials thinks the animal was brought here by the warm current, settled to cool down and then died when it couldn't get back into the ocean. It has been speculated to be various species such as Ganges River dolphin or a prehistoric bird. The creature exhibits fur and a beak, ultimately declaring it to be rare species. When photos of the monster surfaced, it caused social media eruptions in Russia, with some claiming that it is just a hoax, although the creature is still unidentified today and it hasn't been seen since. As if sharks weren't the least of our worries.
11. This hybrid creature lured beach inhabitants when it caused a speculation at Montauk beach, New York in 2008. Spectators claim that it has the legs of a raccoon, the face of a rodent, and a body of a sheep. Although more believable claims say it could be an ailing coyote that decomposed in the sea. Jenna Hewitt encountered the body when her and her friends saw others surrounding the body, and took photos which started a press coverage frenzy. It is still unidentifiable as the body remains in an unknown location after Hewitt claims she saw a man dragging it away. The monster has been discussed on Gawker Media, Conspiracy Theory, Ancient Aliens. On December 2014, a similar body appeared on Santa Barbara Beach, California. Maybe they know each other?!
10. This deceased carcass dubbed the "hell fish" was found on shore by those walking the beach. What makes it hell lookin is its razor sharp teeth fangs for ripping into its prey and its pointy spikes to impale its victims when it attacks. It's the only known one of its kind, no one has been able to identify it and it has never been seen again.
9. After a typhoon in the Philippines, beach goers were surprised to see this giant snake wash up! The giant sea serpent looks like something straight of a Harry Potter movie, resembling the fantasy fictional basilisk, it took several beach locals to drag the rest of it on land. The size and width looks like something you can definitely ride into battle!
8. Grab your umbrella because it's raining whale chunks! After a dead whale washed ashore, methane gas was used to get rid of the 3 ton rotting body. The explosion was dynamic that whale chunks landed in neighboring parking lots. It ended up being a messy catastrophe and took several day to clear the area of the leftover whale bits. Sounds messy!
7. I guess E.T needed to phone home after this replica; custom made for Margaret Well of Cosham, Hampshire, UK was found off Old Portsmouth coast. Handcrafted by her daughter nine years for a stage make up course, I think Steven Spielberg would be proud of the look-like. E.T was found safe, sound and a little brown and was returned to her after locals notified the coast guard thinking it was a mangled up body. Wells says, "I always knew he would come home."
6. Down in Acapulco beach in Mexico, tourists have frightened by this…blob? That's exactly what it is called as experts are still puzzled to figure out its identity. The body is more than 13 feet long and has started to decay. We see this local man poking the creature, but is still unresponsive as it's being poked by stick. Experts may think it could be the innards of a sperm whale, maybe it'll make a cameo in the movie Blob 2.
5. Down under in Australia, this crocodile, dolphin monster looks like a hybrid experiment gone wrong. But it's actually a pike eel, that's right, it's not photoshopped! This menacing creature actually exists in in the sea depths of east Australia. They can grow up to six feet in length and can also be found through south east Asia.
4. After a tsunami caused devastating effects in Japan, this mysterious thing was washed ashore…Japanese locals don't know if it's even a sea creature, as the thing resembles more of a big boulder. Passersbys don't dare to get too close to even inspect, as we just see this man observing a safe distance. Could this be Japan's new Godzilla?
3. After Animal Planet had released the mockumentary "Mermaids: Body Found" there were reports of scientific team to investigate the unidentified body of a purported mermaid found ashore by a boy and his companion filming their discovery. Video footage seemed to capture that the "mermaid" was alive, but after airing, it was revealed that the scientists and found footage was just a hoax and they were just actors although, some viewers didn't catch on right away that it was all faked!
2. Speaking of mermaids, this image of a marine body resembling the carcass of a mermaid body drifted ashore and was brought on land in Egypt. The head appears to be microscopic but the lower half mostly resembling the tail of a fish.
And lastly this skeletal remains is of a half human body and half fish?! Any footage and film was shut down by officials as soon as pictures started to emerge and there no known details. Eighty percent of the ocean's floor remains unexplored so I wouldn't be surprised if there were merpeople the government was trying to hide from us!

When I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of Han Solo. He was my most played with action figures, I dressed up as him a few times for Halloween, and I read the Brian Daley books in constant rotation. There was nothing worse that the last half hour of The Empire Strikes Back and the first half an hour of The Return of the Jedi because Han Solo wasn't in it.
We won't even talk about the prequels here. But I felt The Force Awakens was a nice post script for the character. Though it should no longer be a spoiler alert at this point, we should all know now the latest adventure didn't end so well for Han. As sad as it was, anybody who's read anything about Harrison Ford knows he wanted the character to sacrifice himself in Return of the Jedi. But after a little time, Han Solo got to go out in a blaze of glory… Somewhat.
Turns out, that wasn't the end of the story. Han Solo's story will continue with the beginning. The next "A Star Wars Story" movie will be about a young Han Solo. You no doubt have heard about it by now, especially with the recent behind the scenes drama.
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were let go from the project due to creative differences with Kathleen Kennedy. And it was just announced that Ron Howard will take over. I guess if I had to choose anybody to come in and pick-up the pieces of a broken filming relationship, it would be an established director like Howard. And I'm sure Disney's goal is to make a movie that everybody will enjoy, which usually equals more money.
But I'm going to say something here that may not be in alignment with the opinions of other geeks: Do we really need a young Han Solo movie? We love the character, but wasn't it because we saw him turn from a scoundrel to a hero? Does it really matter what he was up to before meeting his destiny in Mos Eisley?
I'm also among the minority who thought Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was also unnecessary. Yes, I enjoyed it (more so the second half than the first), but I didn't feel it added anything more to the Star Wars universe than some geeky self-indulgence. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But are all these new prequel movies going to be the same? Just fun tips of the hat to the original series?
I just fear that the Han Solo (and Boba Fett movie for that matter) are going to be like Jim Henson's Star Wars baby. Oh, look, that's how he met Chewie! That's how he got the Millennium Falcon from Lando! Oh, it's the Kessel run! If we learned anything from the prequels, it's that the images we have about these past events in our mind can rarely match the vision another director brings to the big screen. Or at least for me.
But hey, maybe I'll be wrong, and this movie will take the character of Han Solo to a new level. No matter what happens, we'll still have the classic Harrison Ford Han Solo to cherish! As well as some worthy imposters…

Ok. Let me summarize the options: 1. Top-level gets executed _after_ xml processing, as part of resolving dependencies. That's the current HEAD 2. Top-level gets executed as part of xml processing and _before_ resolving dependencies. ( the current EMBED ). 3. Same as 2, but each top-level element gets executed imediately after it is read. In 1 and 2 - we agree that delayed construction of tasks is required in order to support redefinition of core tasks. A side effect is cleaner and more consistent code in the xml processor ( a lot of the special cases go away ). Another benefit is that "meta-tasks" ( things that operate on the build tree, like import ) will have a lot more power. I can live with 2 and 3, I preffer 2 because it is cleaner and more consistent. Another benefit of 2 is that it keeps the xml reading very simple and is easier to allows embedding applications to do ant without any xml involved ( by creating the tree ).

Revisiting the 1 ¼-Mile 'Classic' Distance Before the 2020 Breeders' Cup
There are many reasons for fans and those who work in the racing industry to express their gratitude this Thanksgiving. Tom Pedulla of America's Best Racing gives thanks for the following:
The late Penny Chenery. Racing won big when a lost coin toss ultimately brought Secretariat into her life. Secretariat went on the win the Triple Crown in 1973 and achieve legendary status. Chenery went on to show how well a woman could handle herself in the business and racing world. She died on Sept. 16. She was all class.
Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. For jockeys who suffer catastrophic injuries, there is a measure of comfort in knowing the PDJF is there to assist with expenses that are often massive.
Thoroughbred aftercare. The need to provide a dignified retirement for horses that gave their all while racing has come a long way. May the progress continue.
Breeders' Cup testing. Trainers described rigorous monitoring and testing of horses that were running in the Breeders' Cup to ensure that there was a level playing field. Gaining the confidence of the betting public means everything.
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Del Mar, where "the turf meets the surf," did an outstanding job in hosting the Breeders' Cup for the first time, ensuring that the event would be an artistic and financial success.
National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Handicappers won big when the National Thoroughbred Racing Association convinced the Internal Revenue Service to adopt new regulations pertaining to withholding and reporting of certain pari-mutuel winnings. Only 35 winning tickets during the two-day Breeders' Cup triggered automatic W-2G filings. That represented a stunning 97 percent reduction from 2016, when the previous system was in place.
Ron Winchell and Three Chimneys Farm. Their willingness to bring back well-bred Gun Runner for his 4-year-old campaign resulted in a number of thrilling performances, culminating in his victory in the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic. Better yet, they are pointing toward the $16 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational on Jan. 27 at Gulfstream Park for his last hurrah.
Arrogate. Although he soured at the end, Arrogate's ability to string together four spectacular efforts in the Travers, Classic, Pegasus World Cup, and Dubai World Cup will not soon be forgotten.
Charles Fipke. Fipke, a geologist renowned for his ability to locate diamonds, not only had the wisdom to breed Distaff winner Forever Unbridled but has the moxie to want to pit her against males in the upcoming Pegasus.
Songbird. The two-time Eclipse Award winner was a joy to behold as she won 13 of 15 starts and earned $4,692,000 before her retirement at the end of August. Here's hoping one of her foals can be equally special.

20" x 10" w/ 10 x 335MM Lug Pattern Steel MRAP Wheel (20-Bolt)
These 20" x 10" steel MRAP wheels have a 10 x 335mm lug pattern with a 281mm pilot hole/center bore (or about 11.06"). They have been previously used and mounted on tires, and as a result may have light gouges around the center hub from prior mounting, as well as scuffs in the paint and surface corrosion on the stud nuts, often requiring blasting and paint to return them to their original condition.
Included with each wheel is:
- The original valve stem (minus the inner valve core)
- Twenty outer flange nuts
- The original (used) o-ring*
* Please note that the old o-rings are often difficult to reuse, and may need to be replaced to ensure a proper seal.

Usually when somebody says they like "all types of music," or a common variation, "all kinds except Country," they really mean "I like Top 40 hits and nothing else." For me, this is particularly annoying, especially since I consider my own tastes to hit all across the spectrum (Country is my guilty pleasure).
So, for all of you out there who share a similarly eclectic musical appreciation, this one's for you. Because many genres are so different, which I guess makes sense (they're individual categories for a reason), it can be very difficult to merge them and make something that sounds good. So, when I listened to this new Kygo remix, I was pretty stoked to hear how skillfully the indie and electronic styles we're combined to make one record. Benjamin Francis Leftwich is already one of my favorite artists (check out "Atlas Hands" and you'll know what's up), so right from the beginning, I knew this was going to be a good one. Lucky for you, it's up for your free downloading/listening pleasure, so don't forget to grab a copy, turn it up loud, and soak in the chill, spring vibes.

The lack of order status creates delays and unnecessary costs in the supply chain. Most companies are mature enough in their supply planning to address this challenge, and yet we can see many companies still focused on big ERP projects and prioritizing "within their four walls" improvement projects. A lot of value can easily be created, without huge investments and projects that stretch over many years, by focusing on maximum supplier connectivity as a service. This will enable you to move from a Reactive mode to an Anticipating and Collaborating mode – within your current system set-up.
First, control and consolidate your global inbound orders and deliveries as a foundation for your supply chain visibility. This can be achieved multi-site within your ERP infrastructure. Visibility and insight into the order and transport flows give you control over the incoming deliveries. This creates the opportunity for you to:
- Decrease your buffer stocks
- Act before your problems occur or become very costly
- Work with correct staffing
- Minimize your manual follow-up
- Automatically get suppliers responses into your ERP system, e.g. delivery of goods and status of shipments
- Ensure that your suppliers work coherently and efficiently towards you
Secondly, improve your ability to respond to your customer requirements, with higher responsiveness in production plants and warehouses, by adding your own stock data and production plans, customer forecasts, and a set of flow parameters into a shared visibility dashboard. Understand important fundamentals such as:
- If supply meets demand
- If you are at risk in terms of shortages, or if you are overstocked
- Where your time-critical supply chain problems are
- Where you should spend your dollars to improve your supply chain

Another poor show at the Oval on Sunday evening put the relatively young side and its captain under the scanner.
Vengsarkar feels Dhoni might have past his sell-by date as a Test captain. There's, however, still no one ready to replace him.
"I must say his (Test) captaincy has been very poor of late, especially in this series. Then again, who would you replace him with We don't have a replacement available," said Vengsarkar, speaking to The Indian Express.
"Not only the captain, there's a dearth of quality Test talent at the moment, which is the real tragedy of Indian cricket. The selectors can't be held responsible. They didn't have other options apart from those 18 players who were picked for England. This was the best available squad but it failed to perform," Vengsarkar added.
The former chief selector also felt that the lack of sufficient preparation for the challenging tour also resulted in India unable to sustain the intensity. "The team wasn't prepared for a five-Test series overseas. The players, most of them are very inexperienced, had about a couple of weeks off after the IPL and played only two first-class matches before the first Test in England. Preparation was inadequate and BCCI must look into this. You can't win a Test series away from home without proper preparation," said the former India captain - one of most successful batsmen in English conditions with three centuries at Lord's.
What about coach Duncan Fletcher He took charge three years ago when India were the No.1 Test team in the world. The 65-year-old Zimbabwean has presided over a spectacular fall in fortunes overseas. India have lost 13 overseas Tests under his charge and also suffered a home defeat against England. Does he deserve to continue as India coach
Too long a rope
"The BCCI must review Fletcher's performance with immediate effect. He has been given too long a rope but where are the results He and his team of support staff owe us an explanation about why the players keep repeating mistakes. It's BCCI's prerogative to decide whether they will continue with Fletcher. We don't want a knee-jerk reaction, but Fletcher must be questioned. If the Board doesn't take up the cudgels now, then god save Indian cricket," Vengsarkar said.

Technology simplifies procedures, cuts red tape
By Chen Jia | China Daily | Updated: 2020-01-13 09:05
Taxpayers in China no longer need to visit the tax administration's offices to file their income tax returns in person; they merely need to use a mobile app, which helps save much time.
It seems the process or method of determining an individual citizen's tax liability tends to be contentious in many countries. A taxpayer's feelings could shape the broader perception of the government.
In November, the State Taxation Administration reported that taxpayers who have registered personal information in the tax-paying system do not have to re-declare for the additional tax deductions. It was a measure introduced in China in 2019 to reduce individual income tax.
The STA developed a mobile app to collect taxpayers' e-applications for additional deductions. The app can be downloaded by scanning a QR code. Taxpayers can key in information about their children's education, continuing education, treatment for serious diseases, mortgage interest, rent and elderly care into the system.
Sustained focus on technology has made tax payments a breeze. The STA has also launched the Golden Tax III system in 2017, which facilitated e-filing of different stamp duty taxes.
In addition, China implemented a series of measures in the past two years, which simplified payment of corporate income tax, labor tax, value added tax, as well as e-delivery of invoices.
Last year's Paying Taxes report, published by the World Bank, showed that if tax payments are seen as easy, straightforward, fair and robust, then individuals and businesses may associate those traits with their government more broadly.
If citizens can see how their taxes are used and if they recognize the corresponding value generated for society, they may be more likely to comply with their tax obligations.
Technology is changing how taxes are administered. An increasing number of companies worldwide are using tax software, and more and more tax authorities are creating user-friendly online tools that can simplify tax compliance.
Tax administrations worldwide have sought to introduce and continuously enhance their online systems in the past 15 years to improve their efficiency and facilitate more comprehensive and faster risk assessment and compliance checks on returns. This efficiency, in turn, has also benefited taxpayers by easing the compliance burden.
It is not just tax payments that have benefited by adopting technology. In China, digitalization has enhanced processes and procedures relating to doing business like cross-border trade. Broader use of technology has also strengthened the government's determination to cut red tape.
Some local governments in China have made it easier for entrepreneurs to start up by fully integrating various procedures under a single window or one-stop shop system.
China also made exports and imports easier by implementing an advance cargo declaration, upgrading port infrastructure, optimizing customs administration, and publishing fee schedules, which have been recognized by the World Bank.

Looking over everything that I have going on, graduate school (graduating in 2007!), job, travel, running, and being able to keep all these balls in the air, I have realized that I need a good foundation to build upon that will be the base for everything in the years to come.
I bought a few books yesterday to help with a life foundation for myself. One book is a workout log book, very similar to the running logs I keep from Runner's World. The other book is Strength Training for Women.
On the workout log book, I like the fact it encompasses everything - cardio, strength training, pilates/yoga/mind-body workouts, nutritional comments, a daily wrap-up, as well as a morning box to fill in anything form how many hours you slept, how you feel when you wake up, or what time you woke up. This log takes a life approach to better give you the information all around of what you have accomplished in multiple aspects.
I like that. It helps me think that this is not just running, but getting stronger, bein gmore balanced, and really taking into acount all of those things. Well-rounded behavior helps keep the motivation alive, and mixes up the daily rut a bit.
On the Strength training for Women book - this is great! It has beginning and intermediate workouts, with variations to each move for the best results. It explains the necessity for strength training, and addresses the needs of multiple groups with specific wourkouts/circuits for each at the end of the book.
It also has a great resources page with links to websites of different gyms, health advice pages, and items of particular intrest for women getting into shape.
A good foundation all around will only help me in my goals. And as a bonus I decided to set a short-term, mid-term, and long term goals for my strength training, as well as a short-term, mid-term, and long-term goal for my cardio training (i.e. running).
If the events in our lives are the tent poles which support us, then a well rounded mindset and strength training is the foundation for which they will rest on.
Be strong, live strong, and try out that yoga or pilates class you were thinking about... the foundation you build today will support all the tent poles of your life later!

By K. James Taylor, Jr., P.E.
This past month signified the beginning of my second year serving as president of NSPE-DE and as Delaware's representative for the House of Delegates. In the past year, I have spent most of my time learning about NSPE. This has led me to understand why it is so important to be a part of NSPE.
Here are some highlights of what has happened in the past year and what we have planned:
As I begin my second year, I look forward to pushing NSPE-DE to the next level. There is always room to help and get involved. We are currently looking to fill on the executive committee, including vice-president and secretary. We are also looking for committee members to fill the roles of Engineers Week Coordinator and MATHCOUNTS Coordinator. If you are interested, feel free to reach out for more information on how you can make an impact on the engineers and the future engineers in the State of Delaware. Get involved and be a part of the leadership for NSPE-DE!
Ted C. Williams, PE, FACEC has been selected as the 2020 Engineer of the Year. Mr. Williams serves as President of Landmark Science & Engineering, a multidisciplinary site/civil and environmental sciences consulting firm. He has 43 years of comprehensive experience with land development, transportation and traffic studies for large mixed-use construction projects. Ted is heavily involved in technical and professional organizations representing the Delaware engineering community. Some of the organizations where Mr. Williams currently serves is ACEC Delaware where he is the New Castle County Partnering Chair, Delaware Council on Transportation where he is Chair, and Committee of 100 where he is President. Mr. Williams has been a tireless advocate for engineering and business within the State of Delaware and nationally through these organizations. He is well known throughout Delaware's State and Local Legislatures, Councils, and agencies for his support of improving Delaware's Infrastructure. He has also been involved in the broader community of Delaware through activities such as coaching and advocating for STEM-based education for all of Delaware's middle and high school students. He has been a dedicated advocate for efficiency in public school construction projects and has been instrumental in developing a model for future school development based on a full-school campus design.
Mr. Brendza graduated from the University of Delaware with a BS in Civil Engineering in 2008. Shortly after graduation he began working in the field of water and wastewater engineering for Hydraterra Professionals in Chester County PA. At Hydraterra Professionals he spent the majority of his time performing construction inspection and design services for wastewater and drinking water facilities. In 2013, Mr. Brendza began his career at Johnson Mirmiran and Thompson in their water and wastewater group. During his time at JMT he has worked for various government agencies and utilities throughout Delaware such as City of Newark, New Castle County, and Kent County. Chris has also led various design projects for regional authorities and government agencies in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children, and volunteering in his community.
Help prepare the next generation of engineers, doctors, scientists and teachers by volunteering with MATHCOUNTS! There are many ways to volunteer. We are currently looking for a new MATHCOUNTS Delaware State Coordinator. After many years of great service, our previous State Coordinator has stepped aside. MATHCOUNTS is a national program that provides students in grades 6-8 the opportunity to compete in live, in-person contests against and alongside their peers. In March each year, the Top Students participate in the State Competition. The Top 4 individual competitors from each State Competition receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the National Competition in May. The State Coordinator is responsible for encouraging the local schools to participate and organize the competition for the State of Delaware. If you're interested in finding out more about this volunteer role please click here to watch a video we have created for new/prospective coordinators. If you are interested in getting involved please email email@example.com for more information.

Since 1979, DES member Carmine Balascio, Ph.D., P.E., has been building a distinguished career as an engineering educator, teaching the profession's future engineers and conducting research in hydrology. Now, Balascio is putting his educator's skills to work as the president of the state licensing board.
Balascio began his term as president of the Delaware Association of Professional Engineers in the fall of 2018. Prior to this position, he served as the DAPE council member representing the field of education. In the council's more than 45-year history, Balascio appears to be the first educator to serve as president.
An associate professor of water resource engineering at the University of Delaware, Balascio teaches courses like introduction to surveying, site engineering, and higher-level courses on urban hydrology and stormwater management. His research interest include outcomes assessments of college engineering programs and teaching with technology and active-learning methods, in addition to urban hydrology and stormwater management.
Because of his own experiences as a student and an educator, Balascio says his goal as licensing board president is to work to promote professional licensure, specifically in academia.
"As a faculty member at the University of Delaware, I am keenly aware of the struggle to get engineering faculty interested in becoming licensed," he wrote in his first president's message. "I believe it is important to promote licensure of engineering faculty because they serve as role models for their students."
Balascio knows the impact educators can have on young engineers. He says his undergraduate advisor at University of Delaware and his graduate advisor at Iowa State University—both PEs—encouraged him to pursue the license.
He wants other PEs to do the same. "If you are enthusiastic about the engineering work you do and would like the chance to convey that enthusiasm to UD students, we'd really like to talk to you about making it happen," Balascio wrote in his latest message to Delaware PEs. "We are especially interested in new licensees who are also relatively recent graduates who feel they can make a connection with a college student audience."

By Richard Thaler
Penguin Allen Lane hardback/ 415 pages/$32.64 with GST from Books Kinokuniya or on loan from the National Library Board under the call number English 330.019 THA-[BIZ]
1. Why do most people change only after a crisis hits them?
2. Why is it so hard for economists to foretell financial freefalls?
3. Why is it wise for businesses to charge people less, not more, during peak periods?
4. What is most effective in encouraging people to take risks?
5. How should you spend money if you want a better future for all?
Last Monday, China's stock market nosedived again, dragging the rest of the world's bourses with it. Most punters were befuddled as to how US$1 trillion (S$1.4 trillion) in share values worldwide could be wiped out within a week.
Just a minute
The good
1. American behavioural economist Richard Thaler has written the story of his professional life in pin-sharp prose heightened by wicked wit and lots of heart. Who would have thought that a critique of the discipline of economics could be this fun and funny? It is a shoo-in for the list of the best economics books ever.
2. He makes light of his achievements and dwells a great deal on his failings. That is a sure way to gain readers' trust - and Thaler is more than deserving of it. He is so keen to help readers wend their way through the thorny thickets of the barbed logic that is economics that he has made even the most complex ideas easy to grasp. Reading him, you will feel that he has experienced deeply every point he makes in the book.
3. Thaler, a long-time teacher, knows only too well that few would find even the most engaging economic ideas their cup of tea. So he presents slices of his story in digestible chapters that even cursory readers could get through in under 30 minutes. The result is a book you can dip into now and again, and to which you will likely return, probably for Thaler's rib-tickling asides.
4. This book is also a wealth of insight about the piranha pond that is academia. For example, you will wonder, with bated breath, when he will get his papers published as, without publication, he risks losing his job.
5. The field he founded, behavioural economics, is only about 30 years old and still not quite accepted by the majority of economists, who consider human beings as predictable automatons programmed to aim for equilibrium and uniformity. Thaler has staked his career on marrying psychology with economics
so policies that affect everyone's money are more a reflection of human foibles. Allowing for all this, he has balanced well the perspectives of his supporters and that of his naysayers, giving each side fair mention and comment throughout.
The bad
1. There is really very little in this book to rile even casual readers. But as Thaler is unapologetic about whizzing back and forth across time on his hefty subject, those with a passing interest in it might just lose the plot from time to time, such as when he drills deep into mental accounting.
The iffy
1. Thaler skirts hypocrisy when he states that he admires greatly Milton Friedman, the late economist who preferred accuracy to reality. Friedman banked on markets as the final arbiter of benefits to all, but his critics have since pointed out that, among other things, as markets are amoral, it follows that they often yield less than decent outcomes.
As Reuters Breakingviews' Europe editor and long-time China watcher John Foley told the BBC World Service last Wednesday, the rash of freefalls was curious because Chinese stocks are for Chinese buyers only, and so most foreigners are not even exposed to China's stock market.
Misbehave on Sept 30
When ordered to zig, people tend to zag.
To most economists, this is "misbehaving", or not acting consistently and rationally as they assume human beings would.
That, in a nutshell, is the argument that American economist Richard Thaler makes in his new book, Misbehaving.
Join The Straits Times senior writer Cheong Suk-Wai at The Big Read Meet from 6.30pm on Sept 30 to discuss whether his idea helps or hinders everyone's understanding of why people spend their hard-earned money in ways that are hard to predict.
The Meet will be in the Central Public Library at B1 National Library Board headquarters in 100 Victoria Street. Sign up for it at the e-Kiosk in any of the National Libraries or go to www.nlb.gov.sg/go
library, look for The Big Read Meet and follow the steps there to register.
If you cannot make the Meet but want to comment on Thaler's book, e-mail your views in no more than 100 words to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will publish the best contributions on The Big Read page.
He added that what sent share prices crashing last week was a simple case of people panicking amid China's slowing economy and its 2014 debt burden that is 280 per cent of its gross domestic product of about US$11.2 billion.
"Lots of people will now tell you how clever they were because they knew the (China) stock market was an unsustainable bubble that was going to pop," he said.
"You could look at this from a number of angles and say that there was no reason shares were at these kinds of values and people weren't behaving rationally."
American behavioural economist Richard Thaler says that, in the eyes of most economists, such punters were "misbehaving", or not being logical, consistent and acting in ways that got them the best bang for their buck.
Expecting people to be cold, clear-eyed spenders who always choose what would benefit them most economically, Thaler argues, is the start of all the world's problems with economics.
As he points out, economists traditionally treat human beings as emotionless, passionless and predictable, sort of like Mr Spock, the Vulcan in Star Trek.
The thing is, does anyone you know behave like that every time, all the time?
As Thaler quips in his very wise and witty book, even economics graduate students are Econs, which is he what he calls the
Mr Spock-like persona that economists consider a human being to be for their theories.
As an economics graduate himself in the 1970s, he once threw them a dinner party at his place.
Before they sat down to the meal, he brought them a big bowl of cashew nuts. Big mistake. His guests began gorging on the nuts, which would ruin their appetite for dinner. So he grabbed the bowl and hid it in a hurry.
Being bright young economists, he and his guests were soon debating how a good time had turned into a bad idea. After all, they reasoned, economists always believed that having more was a good thing. But in practice, eating too many nuts before dinner was unwise.
That nutty anomaly had Thaler rushing to his office blackboard to draw up a long list of other scenarios that made sound economic sense that did not suit the real world.
For example, a married couple he knew treated everything they earned as joint income. When the husband refused to buy an expensive sweater he fancied, his wife bought it for him as a gift. He was delighted at the gift, but would still not have bought the sweater himself. His behaviour would baffle most economists since the price of the sweater stayed the same and the money his wife spent was, well, his own too. So that is human perception for you.
So why did classic economic theories insist that human beings were Econs?
For 30 years, Thaler laboured in relative obscurity to answer this question, trying for years to get his big ideas published as papers with such titles as The Value Of A Life. This prompted his thesis adviser, Professor Sherwin Rosen, to say: "We did not expect much of him."
Today, Thaler's peers atle ways to influence people to behave in their best interests,nd mentors all tip him to win the Nobel economics prize soon. With his writing partner Cass Sunstein, he has boosted his profile a great deal with their book Nudge, in which they suggest sub like consuming less, exercising more and looking out for one another.
In another sign that economists are warming to his call that the marriage of economics and psychology will produce smarter economic policies than relying on pristine mathematical models, Thaler is currently the president of the American Economic Association.
His successor next year, Robert Shiller, also believes in such a marriage, prompting Thaler to quip in his book: "The lunatics are now running the asylum!"
This book is a memoir of his struggle for economists to place people at the heart of all their equations. It is still a hopeful and uphill task at best, he muses in the book's last chapter, with the emphasis on "hopeful".
It is, in essence, the backstory to Nudge and an inspirational treatise, joke book and cautionary tale about a very flawed discipline all rolled into one. To read him is like having an impish yet patient teacher guiding you through the maze of what makes people tick and why they usually sabotage their own potential.
If you are still wondering how myopic economic theories can be, just know that those who cobbled these together do not rely on data from people in the street to do so. As Thaler writes in the book: "To this day, the phrase 'survey evidence' is rarely heard in economic circles without the necessary adjective 'mere', which rhymes with 'sneer'."
The upshot of economists insisting on certainty and accuracy and ignoring human biases, blind spots and lack of willpower will make your blood run cold.
Here are a few points that Thaler made in the book:
• Economic incentives actually discourage entrepreneurship: Governments are wont to give people tax breaks to encourage them to set up their own businesses. But, Thaler says, "losses loom larger than gains" in people's minds and so a better motivator would be ways to cushion the setbacks and failures of fledgling entrepreneurs. With such assurances, entrepreneurs would not fear to try again;
• Timing is everything: Teachers should be rewarded with bonuses, but instead of awarding them at year's end, Thaler says teachers should enjoy them the moment they overcome a challenge or achieve a difficult goal.
• Think long term: If you charge your customers the earth to take advantage of their anxiety during holidays and other peak periods, they will not return to you. Aim for loyalty, which is more rewarding in the long run, by selling what they want at fair prices.
If all of the above is misbehaving, Thaler's brand of anarchy may just be the ticket out of market blitzes.

You might be a photographer or or run a photography blog. Then it is obvious that you want to give credit to all photographers. In WordPress you can do this easily. You just need to add a new tag or taxonomy like "Tag Photographer" and tag the name after uploading the image. Lets see how we can do this.
First of all we need to create a taxonomy for the attachment post type, which is WP media post type.
function my_custom_taxonomies_photographer() {
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Tag Photographers ',
'singular_name' => 'Tag Photographer',
'search_items' => 'Search Photographers',
'all_items' => 'All Photographers',
'parent_item' => 'Parent Photographer',
'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent Photographer:',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Photographer',
'update_item' => 'Update Photographer',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Photographer',
'new_item_name' => 'New Photographer Name',
'menu_name' => 'Tag Photographer',
$args = array(
'hierarchical' => false,
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'my-photographers' ),
register_taxonomy( 'my-photographers', array( 'attachment' ), $args );
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_taxonomies_photographer' );
Just add the code in your theme's functions.php file and now go to media list and try to edit a media. You will see the tag box to tag photographer.
You can see the tag in the media list:

Have you ever felt uneasy giving your keys to a valet? If so, you'll especially appreciate a new feature on the 2014 Chevrolet Impala! The redesigned Chevrolet Flagship Sedan (which will be available at our Youngstown, Ohio dealerships in about a month) will feature "Valet Mode". Valet mode shields your personal items and information from prying eyes and sticky fingers!
The Impala's new center stack features an 8-inch color touch screen radio that will double as a PIN-activated retractable face plate over a secure storage bin. The storage behind the touch screen is large enough to hold valuables like your iPod, wallet, smartphone, etc.
One of the features of the new Impala is Chevrolet's MyLink system which, when synced with your smartphone will hold all of your contacts and make them accessible through voice commands. However, when you activate Valet Mode all of this information, as well as your on-board navigation are inaccessible!
You'll be able to access Valet Mode through MyLink's settings menu via a four-digit code, much like a safe. A confirmation entry of the code locks the bin and secures all of your info!
For information about the great features of the all new sedan, you can browse our gallery of real photos of the Impala here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.511012102283300.129451.165997410118106&type=3 or watch a special presentation about the features done just for our online friends, here: http://youtu.be/HUUbgMvy_3w!

Joseph Cable
Joseph Cable ( born April 17, 1801 Jefferson County, Northwest Territory, † May 1, 1880 in Paulding, Ohio ) was an American politician. Between 1849 and 1853 he represented the state of Ohio in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Joseph Cable was born in 1801 in the Northwest Territory, which later fell to the state of Ohio. He attended the common schools. After a subsequent study of law and qualifying as a lawyer, he began to work in Jefferson County in this profession. In 1831 he published the newspaper Jeffersonian Democrat and in Steubenville. Later, he became publisher of the newspaper Ohio Patriot, which appeared in New Lisbon. Politically, he joined the Democratic Party.
In the congressional elections of 1848, Cable was in the 17th electoral district of Ohio in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he became the successor of George Fries on March 4, 1849. After a re-election he was able to complete in Congress until March 3, 1853 two legislative sessions. This period was dominated by discussions on the issue of slavery. Among other things, introduced by U.S. Senator Henry Clay Compromise of 1850 was passed.
1852 Cable renounced to another candidacy. The following year he moved to Sandusky, where he edited the newspaper Daily Sandusky Minor. Since 1857, he transferred to various other cities in Ohio newspapers. He died on 1 May 1880 in Paulding, where he was also buried. His great-grandson John L.

October 2015 News Letter
Service Works "Up On Top" Newsletter
October 2015
When it's time to make a decision on your next new roof, what's going to be the driving force? Is it budget? Type of roof system? Or warranty length?
What if you could get all three? Materials and labor cost have been stable over the last few years so that will help with the budget.
Built up roofs (BUR), modified bitumen membrane systems, and single plies are all good choices and each will have great performance if installed by a qualified contractor.
Warranties are available for anywhere from 10 to 25 years and generally speaking the longer the term required the more robust the specification is and consequentially the higher the cost.
To find the right combination of price, roof type, and warranty length call your local branch of Service Works, Your Full Service Roofing Contractor.
Your Service Works Team
The 20 Year Roof
In the past several decades, building owners have made decisions based upon terminology such as a "20-year roof." The implication was that your roofs could last for 20 years or more, and that if the roof failed due to ordinary wear and tear, someone would fix it at no cost to the building owner. When a new roof system is contemplated, the decision will be to select the lowest-cost "20-year roof" available.
The 20-year goal stems from the post-World War II era, when the dominant choice was a bituminous roof with asphalt or coal tar pitch as the waterproofing adhesive, pea-gravel as the surfacing to protect the bitumen from UV degradation, and felt reinforcing saturated with asphalt or pitch. For the owner, there was a 15-year choice consisting of three or four plies of felt or a 20-year system with four or five plies.
, in those times, was relatively cheap, so if any thermal insulation was used, it was used mainly as a roofing substrate and might have been an inch of
fiber, glass fiber, or perlite boards. The R-factor would have been around three or so. Flashings were not usually covered under the warranty, and since we could not retain the flood coat and gravel on a vertical slope, flashings might have consisted of mineral surfaced cap sheets or reinforced asbestos felts.
However, times changed. More and more buildings were air-conditioned by the 1950s and cellular thermal insulations such as polyurethane and polystyrene with R-values of 4 or 5 displaced insulation with lower values. By the years of the oil embargo in the early 1970s, codes were calling for R-values of 25-30 instead. At the same time, the asphalt and coal tar pitch needed for traditional bituminous roofs were in short supply, so innovation in reinforcements shifted buyers' attention to polymer-modified two- or three-ply systems. Most of the innovations were European in origin, modifying the asphalt matrix with APP (atactic polypropylene) or SBS (styrene butadiene styrene). The improvements also served to reduce costs significantly by shrinking the number of plies and replacing the flood coat with factory-applied mineral granules, reflective foils, or coatings.
