Seminar: Grow Your Community, Not Your Ego with Dorie Hagler
Wednesday, January 27th, 5pm - 6:30pm
Join renowned photographer, advocate, and storyteller Dorie Hagler for a seminar on how freelance photographers can grow their communities rather than their egos.
Successful freelance photography requires many positive qualities: talent, grit, hard work, patience, a sense of humor, and just as importantly, a sense of community. Attendees will explore the many ways they can grow their photography community and land more assignments. Dorie will share the "twisty, turny" road her career has taken and will demonstrate how her many successes can in part be attributed to her photographer-friends.
For the past 20 years, Dorie has focused on growing her community. Looking back, her best opportunities -- whether they were important assignments, gallery shows, or public art commissions -- have happened because of her professional relationships with photographer-friends and colleagues within the industry.
Dorie's work has appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and The Chicago Tribune, among others. She is also a project photographer for international and local non-profit organizations and has been awarded public art commissions by The State of New Mexico.
Free Demos: How to Light and Shoot Great Interviews with Daniel Norton
Thursday, January 28th, 3 Sessions: 12pm - 1:30pm, 2pm - 3:30pm, 4pm - 5:30pm
Join Daniel Norton, Adorama Pro's senior lighting consultant and trainer, in a free workshop that demonstrates how to light and shoot great interviews.
Interviews are a staple of documentary, corporate, and electronic news gathering (ENG) filmmaking and are the bread and butter of many filmmakers.
While each interview presents its own unique set of challenges, there are three common types of interviews each shooter needs to master. The hands-on demonstrations will explore camera, lighting, and audio for sit-down interviews (12 pm session); run-and-gun interviews (2 pm session); and magazine show-style interviews (4 pm session).
Attendees will learn how to light simply, quickly, and effectively; use 4K to create an "extra" camera; record great audio in any location; and ask producers the right questions before stepping on set.
There will be three unique 60-minute to 90-minute sessions. RSVP to one or all three of the sessions.

Intergraph Introduces First Airborne Solid State Disc and Enhances its Airborne Digital Imagery Acquisition System
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 9, 2007 – Intergraph Corp. introduced today the first airborne Solid State Disc (SSD) cartridge, an innovative new flash memory that will enable aerial mapping operators to increase image storage flexibility and flight duration, and to use smaller, single-engine aircraft.
In addition, the photogrammetry leader also debuted flight management solutions and updates to its Z/I Imaging® DMC® Digital Mapping Camera, the first large format sensor to be certified by the United States Geological Survey.
Each SSD cartridge plugs directly into the DMC camera head and may be exchanged during flight, providing virtually unlimited storage. By reducing weight, footprint, and power requirements, Intergraph's new SSD compact storage device opens up new project and aircraft options for aerial mapping operators. Alternately, organizations flying large projects may choose to employ FDS in lieu of SSD.
"Now, the DMC may be flown in most single engine aerial survey aircraft, such as a Cessna 206, with no modifications to the plane," said Jack Ickes, Intergraph general manager, photogrammetry. "Intergraph is the first to provide solid state storage for airborne imagery and paired with the mission planning and control advancements, we are helping our customers to cover more ground in a day so they may speed delivery of project data for their mapping, GIS, and remote sensing applications. We will continue to empower owners of the market leading digital imagery acquisition system to maintain their investments in the DMC."
Other productivity enhancement capabilities include Z/I Mission and Z/I Inflight mission planning and control solutions, and a re-engineered T-AS gyro-stabilized camera mount. Z/I Mission is comprehensive photo flight planning software streamlining aerial survey procedures – from creating the initial flight plans to generating reports and indices for the final exposures. Independent of computer-aided design or geographic information system software, this integrated solution may be operated as a standalone product. Intergraph's new flight management system, Z/I Inflight, combines a smaller form factor than its predecessor along with high reliability, touch screen controls and flash memory. Z/I Inflight requires no external laptop as it comprises a real-time controller along with a computer running Windows XP with 4 GB of flash memory; an additional 64 GB of flash memory disk is available. The T-AS Digital gyrostabilized camera mount has a digital interface that allows it to be controlled by the Z/I Inflight system or laptop computer as well as an external IMU sensor.

With stars like Gloria Estefan, Idina Menzel, Jeff Goldblum and Carol Burnett all on board the cast of "Glee," it's no surprise to see that yet another high-profile actress has fallen into the show's parent trap.
The Hollywood Reporter has the news (via creator Ryan Murphy's Twitter) that Katey Sagal, best known for her roles on "Sons of Anarchy" and "Married... With Children" has signed on to play the role of Artie's mom in season four. (Bonus: Kevin McHale, who plays Artie, was the first one to float the actress' name as his ideal on-screen mother. Congrats, Kevin, on winning the mom of your dreams!)
Katey is the latest member of an ever-growing gang of A-list Hollywood and/or Broadway peeps to play the parents of McKinley High students. And, according to the report, show co-creator Ian Brennan might have already leaked a hint or two into her character's quirks; at last year's Comic-Con panel, he said, "I want her to be a hoarder!" So, there's that. But hey, new important question: Do we think she'll be a piles-of-paper-everywhere hoarder, or a has-a-million-cats hoarder? DISCUSS.
Are you excited to see Katey join the "Glee" cast? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!

Cameron Hunt went 3-for-4 at the plate, while Laney Shelby and Shelby McCawley both were 3-5 Tuesday to guide Westran's softball team to a 14-5 victory against Lewis & Clark Conference rival Slater.
The Lady Hornets' trio led the team's 15-hit attack in the game, all were singles reported Westran softball coach Mark Harvey.
Westran (7-3, 4-0 LCC) trailed 2-1 but would score 5 runs in the top of the fourth inning and never looked back.
Three runs were added in the fifth and two more the next frame to have the game well in hand for freshman starting pitcher Kylie Linneman to complete her task.
Linneman threw a complete game last night and all 5 runs scored by Slater were unearned. She fanned nine batters, yielded three base hits and walked four batters.
Cheyanne Kitchen had two singles in the game for Westran. Makayla Reynolds, Makenzie Hombs, Kelsey Link and Allison Minor all had one.

Walmart "Saves The Average Family $2,500 A Year," But You Don't Actually Have To Shop There
Walmart's new ad campaign says that the store saves the average American family $2,500 a year. What is doesn't say is that you don't actually have to shop at Walmart to take advantage of the savings.
The study that Walmart is citing in their ad showed that competition from Walmart lowered prices and saved the average family some serious money, regardless of where they actually shopped. Also, Walmart isn't mentioning that after wage depression, the net increase in purchasing power averages only $1,122 annually.
Still, the way the ad is presented may lead consumers and even major media outlets to believe that in order to save money you need to shop at Walmart.
From Ad Age:
"The report does talk about the impact of Wal-Mart on the communities where the retailer is located," a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said.
She said the ads and Wal-Mart press releases do not specify that people need to shop at Wal-Mart to get all of the savings. That's a distinction that has been lost, however, in much of the news coverage of the campaign. Media outlets including ABC's "Good Morning America," The Washington Post, Advertising Age and The Honolulu Advertiser all have reported in recent months that the report said shopping at Wal-Mart saves the average family $2,500.
In an e-mail, a Wal-Mart spokesman said it is "ridiculous" to believe it's "some kind of surprise" that people don't need to shop at Wal-Mart to realize the $2,500 in savings. "In 2005 we held an economic-impact conference in Washington to air these very issues," the spokesman said. "Just the very presence of Wal-Mart saves Americans an average of $2,500 a year whether they're Wal-Mart shoppers or not. We're very proud of that. But of course, the more you shop with us, the more you save."

20 cable channels will join Comcast lineup
20 cable channels set to debut when Comcast takes over
Twenty channels, including five high-definition channels, will join the cable lineup when Comcast officially takes over for Time Warner-Houston on Tuesday.
Mailers were expected to go out today to all current TW subscribers announcing the new lineup, which shows renamed tiers and new channel groupings but keeps pricing the same.
The high-definition channels being added are:
- ESPN2 HD. High-def version of the sports and information channel.
- MHD. Music High Definition, which Tony Speller, senior vice president for Comcast's Houston region describes as "a combination MTV, VH1 and Country Music Television."
- Versus/Golf HD. Two sports networks sharing the same channel number. Versus offers hockey, rodeo and other sports.
- Starz HD. Movie channel available to Starz subscribers only.
- Cinemax HD. Movie channel available to Cinemax subscribers only.
Comcast's HD offerings — 21 channels total — will be complemented by more than 100 hours of HD content available on Comcast's "video on demand" service, Spelling said.
"We're updating our VOD platform from a system that had roughly 1,000 hours of content to one that has 6,000 hours of content and 9,000 different programs," he said.
That programming will roll out gradually and should be available to all in the greater Houston market by year's end.
Fourteen non-HD channels also join the lineup. They are:
- The Africa Channel. All-English channel celebrating Africa.
- ESPN Deportes. Spanish-language sports channel.
- Flix. Films from the '60s, '70s and '80s.
- Fox Reality. New and off-network reality series from around the world.
- GolTV. Soccer channel available in two different packages, one in English, one in Spanish.
- Gospel Music Channel. Gospel music 24/7.
- ImaginAsianTV. Movies, animé, sports and music.
- Indieplex. Commercial-free independent and art-house movies.
- MTV Tr3s. Lifestyle and music channel aimed at Latinos.
- Logo. Original series, films and documentaries focused on gays, lesbians and transgenders.
- MoviePlex. An affiliate of the Encore movie channels, this one runs movies of a different theme (crime, Western, etc.) every day.
- NFL Network. 24/7 football channel offering multiple games during the season.
- PBS Kids Sprout. Aimed at preschoolers ages 2 to 5.
- Retroplex. Commercial-free classic movies from the '50s, '60s and '70s.
Comcast will introduce a new tiering system that has several notable upgrades or improvements.
The new "Basic Service" tier includes all local channels (and their HD signals) as well as Chicago "superstation" WGN, Tube Music (affiliated with Channel 39), and Spanish-language channels LATV (affiliated with Channel 2) and V-me (affiliated with Channel 8). Price: $16.42.
An "Expanded Basic" tier adds 55 channels to the "Basic" tier, including eight HD channels. Price: $44.99.
"Digital Basic" is for customers who want the first two tiers plus access to video on demand, including MoviePlex. Price: $51.99.
Niche channels such as ESPN News, Current TV, Gospel Music Channel and Toon Disney are on the "Digital Classic" tier. Price: $55.99.
"Digital Preferred" adds Logo, Indieplex, Sundance, four Encore channels and more. Price: $56.99.
A sports pack, which includes the NFL Network, goes for an additional $4, while a 15-channel Spanish-language package can be added for $5 more. Premium movie packages and international channels are also available. HDNet pack, offering Mark Cuban's HDNet and HDNet Movies, can be had for another $3.
A package that includes everything except the international channels is available for $86.99, which matches the current price for a similar offering on Time Warner.
All prices do not include the cost of equipment such as a digital box or an HD tuner.
Comcast enters a TV market more competitive than ever before. AT&T, Dish and DirecTV promise HD packages, for example, as good or greater than what Comcast is promising.
AT&T offers West Coast feeds of several cable channels and boasts 27 HD channels. Dish, like Comcast, offers 21 HD channels, but with a significantly different channel list. DirecTV has been advertising 150 HD channels by year's end.
"We're bringing customers the HD content they're demanding, the most popular channels they are asking for," Spelling said. "In addition, we have HD VOD, with more than 100 hours of HD content available. So I would say we are extremely competitive in that space."
He emphasized the quality, quantity and diversity of the programming Comcast provides as reasons to stick with cable. As for cost, the company noted that savings can be accomplished by bundling cable with other services Comcast offers, including phone and Internet access.
"We've been in the business a long time," added Ray Purser, Comcast's vice president of government and public relations in Houston. "We're investing $200 million in the market to launch new products and services. We have a call center of 900 employees who understand the business. Our competitors are trying to catch up to us, but they have a long way to go."

Georgia educators are continuing efforts to get more girls involved in science courses after a report released this week found far more boys here and nationally are taking a computer science class for high achieving students.
More boys took the Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam in Georgia by about a 3-1 margin, the report showed, with 464 girls and 1,569 boys taking the exam earlier this year.
Georgia's ratio was much better than some states. Eight states had less than 10 girls who took the exam. The report was prepared by Georgia Tech senior researcher Barbara Ericson, who has worked for years to close the gender gap in such classes.
Officials noted some positives in the report, such as a slight majority of Georgia girls had a score on the exam that's described as qualified or better.
The College Board, which organizes the Advanced Placement courses, is offering a Computer Science Principles course for high school students to get more girls, African-American and Hispanic students in more rigorous courses.

The spiral symbol
In the rites and myths of many cultures has been crucial, and still has. Let's analyze a little 'to obtain a summary of meanings.To the Celts, for whom culture was one of the key symbols: the spiral had a double meaning, which depended on the left-right motion, or otherwise. The first depicts the motion of the Sun in the sky, the second is related to the flow of Water and the Earth Goddess. Covered from the inside out, is the reconnection to the deity, the opposite is the knowledge of themselves.... continue reading

Just in case anyone is a big fan of Bianca King, she is now the new celebrity endorser for Hero, HTC's latest Android-powered mobile phone.
Interesting. It's actually the first time for me to hear of a local celebrity endorse an international brand, much less a big brand like HTC. I wonder if we'll be seeing a lot of Bianca King alongside the Hero, in posters and advertisements.
I also wonder why she was chosen as the celebrity endorser. Makes me wonder if she's a geek girl in disguise!
Be brave, be yourself. Actress, model, and TV host Bianca King, shown here with HTC Philippines country manager Mark Sergio, smile for the HTC doodle wall and photo booth during the unveiling of the new HTC brand positioning and HTC Hero launch. Bianca King is the new celebrity endorser for the Hero, HTC's latest Android-powered mobile phone. – Press Release
Oh, and apparently Bianca King has a Twitter account! Looks like she's been using the new HTC Hero to tweet! See what she has to say about the HTC Hero in Twitter :)

Healthy adults typically urinate four to seven times each day, according to Healthgrades. Certain health conditions may cause people to urinate 10 to 30 times daily. Someone who goes eight times or more a day or two to three times at night should see a doctor.
Causes of excessive urination range from minor to more significant conditions. Interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder are among the more common and treatable conditions, reports Healthgrades. An enlarged prostate, urinary tract infections and anxiety may also cause frequent urination. Pregnant women and people taking diuretics also tend to urinate more often than normal. In some cases, excessive urination is a habit.

I am closing my practice on September 30, 2018 and thus am not accepting new clients.
Though it may be hard to admit, everyone needs help sometimes. This is especially true when you are in the midst of a difficult situation and cannot see a way out. Often, the hardest part of therapy is making that initial contact and getting started. Sometimes, it takes a leap of faith to reach out to someone for help, especially if that person is a stranger to you.
A sense of comfort and safety are paramount in therapy. Gaining trust is something that cannot be rushed. It can only be built at the rate people are comfortable with. My approach is built on a strong foundation of deep respect, compassion, understanding, and empathy for people. Without this foundation, therapeutic work will not be successful. My focus is on assisting people in finding and developing their strengths to help them to deal with their issues, including addressing how these issues may be holding them back from the life they wish to live. I believe strongly that the best therapeutic relationship is an equal partnership between the client(s) and myself; that we need to work cooperatively to establish goals and facilitate the changes necessary in achieving those goals. My therapeutic framework strongly considers the roles that others play or have played in our lives. None of us exists in isolation; we all impact and are impacted by those around us, especially our families. Often, we are not even aware of this.
To me, the process of therapy is analogous to the following:
I walked down a street that was very familiar to me. Before I even knew it, I had fallen into a deep hole - the same deep hole I've fallen into many times. I had no idea how to get out. Luckily, someone saw me fall in and pulled me out.
The next day, I walked down the street again. Before I even knew it, I had fallen into the same deep hole. This time, I tried to get out, but couldn't, so someone pulled me out again.
The next day, I walked down the street again. Before I even knew it, I fell in the same deep hole again. It was a lot of work, and I tried really hard, and I was able to get myself out.
The next day, I walked down the street again. This time, I knew the hole was coming up, so I stepped around it.
The next day, I walked down a new street.
If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I would be happy to assist you in working towards achieving your goals.

Purpose of Program: To provide grants or enter into cooperative agreements to enhance the delivery, quality, and accountability of postsecondary education and career-oriented lifelong learning through technology and related innovations. For fiscal year (FY) 2000, the Secretary encourages applicants to design projects that focus on the invitational priorities set forth in the invitational priorities section of this application notice. Eligible Applicants: Partnerships consisting of two or more independent agencies, organizations, or institutions, including institutions of higher education, community organizations, and other public and private institutions, agencies, and organizations. Note: A nonprofit organization must serve as the fiscal agent for a funded partnership. Applications Available: December 30, 1999. Deadline for Transmittal of Preapplications: March 3, 2000. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: June 9, 2000. Note: All applicants must submit a preapplication to be eligible to submit a final application. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 8, 2000. Available Funds: $4,300,000. Note: Federal funds available under this competition may not pay for more than 50 percent of the cost of a project. The non-Federal share of project costs may be in cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including services, supplies, or equipment. Estimated Range of Awards: $100,000 to $500,000 per year. Estimated Size of Awards: $333,333 per year. Estimated Number of Awards: 12-13. Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this notice. Project Period: Up to 48 months. Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 82, 85, and 86. Authorized Activities: Funds awarded to an eligible partnership must be used to conduct one or more of the following activities: (a) Develop and assess model distance learning programs or innovative educational software. (b) Develop methodologies for the identification and measurement of skill competencies. (c) Develop and assess innovative student support services. (d) Support other activities consistent with the statutory purpose of this program. Invitational Priorities The Secretary is particularly interested in applications that meet one or more of the following invitational priorities. However, an application that meets one or more of these invitational priorities does not receive competitive or absolute preference over other applications (34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)). Invitational Priority 1 Projects to address the need to ensure that significant development costs can be justified by wide-scale applicability and long-term sustainability of technology-mediated distance education, and the need to find new ways to overcome the barriers that may inhibit faculty across institutions from working collectively. Invitational Priority 2 Projects to develop high quality, interactive courseware that can be implemented to achieve the scale necessary to recoup large investments, but is modular and sufficiently flexible for faculty to shape and modify academic content. Invitational Priority 3 Projects to package courses and programs to assist students who wish to draw from the offerings of multiple providers and to assist institutions to cooperate and share resources. Invitational Priority 4 Projects to use skill competencies and learning outcomes in order to measure student progress and achievement in technology-mediated distance learning programs. Invitational Priority 5 Projects to improve quality and accountability of technology- mediated distance education to ensure that credentials are meaningful, that educational providers are accountable, and that courses meet high standards. Invitational Priority 6 Projects to create new technology-mediated education opportunities for underserved learners, especially those who have not always been well served by traditional campus-based education or common forms of distance education, including: individuals with disabilities; individuals who have lost their jobs; individuals making the transition from welfare to the workforce; and individuals seeking basic or technical skills or their first postsecondary education experience. Invitational Priority 7 Projects to improve support services for students seeking technology-mediated distance education to ensure that they have complete and convenient [[Page 73530]] access to needed services such as registration, financial aid, advising, assessment, counseling, libraries, and many others. Invitational Priority 8 Projects to remove or revise institutional, system, state, or other policies which are barriers to the implementation of new types of technology-mediated distance education. Selection Criteria The Secretary selects from the criteria in 34 CFR 75.210 to evaluate preapplications and applications for this competition. Under 34 CFR 75.201, the Secretary announces in the application package the selection criteria and factors, if any, for this competition and the maximum weight assigned to each criterion. GPRA Participation In 1993, Congress enacted the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), which directs federal departments and agencies to improve the effectiveness of their programs by engaging in strategic planning, setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program results against those goals. Under the GPRA policy, the LAAP program has four primary objectives, with related performance indicators that grant recipients will be asked to include in their evaluation plans. The four objectives are: (1) Develop innovative partnerships resulting in economies of scale, delivering asynchronous distance education and training; (2) increase access to asynchronous distance education for diverse groups of learners, especially to prepare them for work in technical and other areas of critical shortage or for the changing requirements of fields; (3) enable advancements in quality and accountability within postsecondary, asynchronous distance education; (4) enable advancements in flexibility of distance education design and delivery. More details about LAAP performance indicators are provided on the LAAP website: www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/FIPSE/LAAP. FOR APPLICATIONS CONTACT: Education Publications Center (ED Pubs), P.O.

Food intolerance and ingestion of foreign objects are two main causes of stomach aches in dogs, according to VetInfo. Other possible culprits include intestinal worms, liver or kidney problems, stomach ulcers or tumors, an inflamed pancreas, constipation, and drinking water contaminated with bacteria.
A dog with a stomach ache may be lethargic and refuse to eat or drink, notes VetInfo. He may whine, paw at his stomach, and avoid lying on his stomach. Other symptoms of stomach ache in dogs include constipation, flatulence, bloating, vomiting and diarrhea.
Most stomach aches in dogs are not serious, says VetInfo, and they resolve with minimal treatment. Allow the digestive tract time to settle by withholding food for up to 48 hours, then provide a liquid diet for the next 48 hours. Reintroduce food slowly, offering small amounts of boiled chicken and white rice, suggests Can I Give My Dog? Other bland foods to offer a dog recovering from a stomach ache include pumpkin, oatmeal, carrots, bananas and yogurt.
If the dog is extremely lethargic or produces large amounts of vomit, he may have ingested a poisonous substance, and he requires immediate veterinary evaluation, warns Can I Give My Dog? Veterinarian assistance is also recommended if there is blood in the stool or copious amounts of diarrhea as dogs with diarrhea run the risk of dehydration.

NBC Sports Live Extra App is Failing Android Users
So… any of you Android phone users try using the NBC Sports Live Extra app lately? If you have, you may not have gotten very far.
A few months back I upgraded to a Samsung GS3 and before too long I got around to installing the NBC Sports Live Extra app. My old Android phone wasn't compatible with NBC Sports Live Extra, so I had never experienced it via the Android platform. I had always used my iOS devices to access it. After the initial install, the app didn't work for me. It simple froze on load. Since I wasn't anxious too watch anything at that time, just merely test it, I set it aside and tried again later. Same deal. Froze on load. I've since uninstalled and re-installed several times and have never gotten any farther than trying to type in my user credentials before it freezes.
It's seems I'm far from the only one having a frustrating user experience on Android. If you peruse the reviews of the app over at Google Play you'll be hard pressed to find any recent positives. If anyone is having any luck with NBC Sports Live Extra on Android, they apparently aren't providing that feedback on Google Play.
The NBC Sports Live Extra app has typically worked fine on my iPad. Between the NHL and the PGA I've been using the app heavily in the past couple months. The iPad is how I would access NBC Sports Live Extra most of the time anyway, but it's shameful that NBC Sports can't get it to work properly on Android phones. For as much time as they spend touting the app during live sporting events on NBC and on the NBC Sports Network, you'd think they would make it a priority to ensure that the app worked properly on all platforms. Hopefully they get their act together soon. Especially with football season just a few months away.
NOTE: The issues are the same on the Golf Live Extra app (which is basically the same app but with only golf content) on Android.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Or a better experience? Let us know in the comments.by

Some do-it-yourself wedding ideas are making your own invitations, making your own centerpieces and making your own wedding favors. Other do-it-yourself wedding ideas are making your own decorations or baking your own cake.
One popular do-it-yourself wedding idea is making your own invitations. To create your set, you can choose from existing wedding invitation themes, such as rustic or elegant, or you can invent a style all your own. Some options are gluing lace to the edges of each card, covering the invitations in stamps relating to the theme of your wedding or painting them yourself with watercolors.
Another good do-it-yourself wedding idea is to make your own guest book. For a unique and homey twist, have your guests each write a little note and attach it to a quilt square, so you can make a quilt later on to remember your special day.
Create your own wedding centerpieces by re-purposing old Mason jars. Coat each jar with a layer of a pastel paint of your choice and let them dry; then, rub them all over with sandpaper to create a distressed, antique look. Fill the finished jars with flowers and place one or more in the center of each table.
Brides can also choose to create their own place card holders out of cork lids. Cut a slit in the top of each cork lid where the place card is to sit, and then dip the bottom of each lid in paint to add color.

Erasmus+ is the new EU programme for education, training, youth
and sport.
Erasmus+ (Key Action 1) started on 1 January 2014 and replaces previous funding programmes run by the European Commission in the area of the Lifelong Learning Programme. This programme will run from 2014-2020.
The programme includes three key actions:
- Key action 1 - Learning mobility for individuals
- Key action 2 - cooperation for the support of innovation and the exchange of well-established practices
- Key action 3 - Political reform support
Erasmus+ has a budget of approximately €14.8 billion. By 2020, more than four million people will have benefited from the EU funds. The current seven-year programme is designed to improve skills and employability while also modernising the systems for education and job training and advancing services for children and youth.
Information on Erasmus+ can be found on the European Commission's website.
Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals is all about providing opportunities for individuals to improve their skills, enhance their employability and gain cultural awareness. Students of IUBH School of Business and Management are able to spend a period of time in another participating country gaining valuable experience with the aim of increasing professional opportunities in the future.
Every Higher Education Institution (HEI) participating in the ERASMUS+ programme must have been awarded an ERASMUS+ University Charter (EUC) by the EU Commission. The Charter is proof that a higher education institution has fulfilled all the requirements to successfully take part in the ERASMUS+ Programme.
The ERASMUS+ programme covers funding for the following mobility instruments:
- Student Mobility for Studies (SMS)
- Student Mobility for Placements (SMP)
- Staff Teaching Assignments (STA)
- Staff Training Assignments (STT)
ERASMUS+ Programme – The Basics
IUBH School of Business and Management is holder of the ERASMUS+ Charter for Higher Education 2014-2020 (ECHE) under the Horizon 2020 Programme.
As an ECHE holder, IUBH School of Business and Management can make annual bids for mobility funding to the National Agency, which administers the programme in the respective programme countries. In Germany the German Academic Exchange Service - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) manages the programme and gives guidance to all participating Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The bids and funding granted are based among other factors on anticipated mobilities and past performance.
Mobilities can be funded within existing Inter-Institutional Agreements (IIAs) ie. the exchange of staff and students can only be administered and supported through this programme if both involved institutions are holders of the required ECHE and have signed a bilateral agreement outlining and defining the scope (eg level and area of study, type and number of exchanges) of the exchange activities.
The IUBH International Office manages the agreements with ERASMUS+ partner institutions based upon which most up-to-date information about viability of an envisaged outgoing mobility within the programme for any given academic year can be given. First point of contact for any such activity should therefore always be the International Office of IUBH School of Business and Management.
ERASMUS+ Student Mobility participants
- Must be enrolled as regular, fulltime students at IUBH School of Business and Management
- Must have completed their first year of studies at IUBH
- Can apply to study abroad at a partner university with which IUBH has a signed and valid ERASMUS+ agreement for their study programme
- Can receive ERASMUS+ support for up 12 months in any of the stages of the study cycle (bachelor, master, doctorate)
- Individual student mobilities to other European countries can range from between 3 to 12 months in length
- Students can expect to have the courses studied abroad academically recognized and transferred within defined learning agreements
- Students will be exempt from tuition fees at the hosting university
- Students will benefit from financial support for additional costs abroad
- Special grants are available for students with children
- Special grants are available for student with disabilities
All rights and obligations of ERASMUS+ student mobility are outlined in the ERASMUS+ Student Charter which all participating students are provided with prior to their studies abroad.
IUBH Students wishing to apply to go abroad within the ERASMUS+ programme should contact the IUBH International Office about processes, required forms and important points of consideration.
Detailed and up-to-date information about availability of ERASMUS+ mobilities per study programme and partner university specific information can be obtained at the IUBH International Office and IUBH intranet. The usual deadlines for study abroad as published on the IUBH intranet CARE apply.
Language skills - Mandatory Language Tests and Online Linguistic Support:
In recognition of the importance of language skill development within international student mobility (NOT as part of the selection criteria), the ERASMUS+ programme has introduced mandatory online language tests for participating students to determine language improvement throughout the study abroad period. Students are required to complete this language test in the main working language of their programme (this does not necessarily have to be the first language of the host country) both before the mobility period and at the conclusion of their studies abroad. Currently these language tests are available for German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Czech, Swedish, Danish, Greek, Polish and Portugese. In assessing the outcome of these language tests before and after student mobilities the European Commission aims to measure the impact of living and studying abroad on students' language skills.
Furthermore as per availability of licenses granted to the sending institution / IUBH, Online Linguistic Support is given in the form of free online language courses for participating students. Detailed information is available online at: http://erasmusplusols.eu/
Incoming mobilities require formal nomination through IUBH partner institutions in the first instance - usually through the International Offices of our partner universities. Students interested in studying at IUBH for an ERASMUS+ exchange semester or year should therefore contact the International Office of their home institution first. Key information about application processes, admission and language requirements, assistance provided and responsible IUBH departments is made available to partner universities and can be obtained directly from the IUBH International Office. This includes access to information about academics and courses offered for any given academic year.
Incoming ERASMUS+ student deadlines are the general application deadlines: May 1st for the winter semester and November 1st for the subsequent summer semester.
The ERASMUS+ programme also funds (teaching) staff mobility between European partner institutions that hold a valid ECHE. Participation is intended to strengthen existing partnerships, share knowledge and best-practice and otherwise engage in activities to the mutual benefit of both institutions in terms of internationalization and development of the European dimension. In this context the following applies:
- The mobility must take place to a programme country which is not the primary country of residence of the participant.
- The duration can range from a minimum of two days to up to two months (60 days) - excluding travel time - teaching mobilities must comprise a minimum of 8 teaching hours per mobility.
- Mobility participants must be contractually employed at their home institution/IUBH
Staff mobilities require the endorsement of the department / faculty head and invitations from partner institutions. Further information can be obtained at the IUBH International Office on request.

Love this lookbook that The Fashion Medley posted about. They have some great pieces!
Yet another Australian label to save the day: Deborah Sams and Mary-Lou Ryan's Bassike's new FW collection is more like a minimal luxury dream than a lookbook. Perfect layering of structured and floaty, the collection is full of ultra quality, sustainable wardrobe staples. Less talking, more images (while we silently wait for the Aussies to take over the world).

Def Leppard and EDM at Adult Contemporary, Beyoncé at CHR: A Dialogue With Matt DelSignore
"Hi, Sean! A few radio-related items have been on my mind, so I thought I'd send them along to get your take. Maybe fodder for future columns?"
So began the e-mail from reader Matt DelSignore. I came to know Matt as a reporter for the former all-news station WNEW Washington, D.C., when it became clear he followed music radio as closely as anybody on this side of the business. And some of the things that he's observed lately are, indeed, worth discussing at greater length. So I decided to take the dialogue public, beginning with:
Topic I – Where Is Beyoncé At CHR?
Matt: I was really glad to see an industry publication [Billboard] tackle this question re: Beyoncé and [the lack of airplay for the "Lemonade" album at] pop radio. Last summer, it struck me how CHRs excitedly touted their Beyoncé concert ticket giveaways while ignoring the music from "Lemonade."
Sean: I don't in any way discount any of the possibilities raised by my former Billboard and R&R colleague Gail Mitchell: age bias against a 20-year CHR artist; reactionary PDs who became less supportive after the "Formation" video. I think those or any other issues are nevertheless informed by, as one R&B programmer put it, having "no pop record to jump on." Only one song, the No. 33 "Sorry," was worked to pop radio.
Readers know that my number one explanation for why radio fails to seize a lot of pop culture moments is that almost no record can find a quorum at CHR radio without being worked there. The most recent example is PDs not aggressively seeking out the next potential hit from the Ed Sheeran album, but I already feel like I'm writing about that issue at far too regular intervals.
When the "Beyoncé" album revolutionized the music industry four years ago, the singer had come off two projects where the kickoff single wasn't the one that emerged as the hit. "Déjà Vu" gave way to "Ring the Alarm" before "Irreplaceable" broke through. The next time out, "If I Were A Boy," the attempt to give pop radio its "Irreplaceable" song right away, was upstaged by the track that went to R&B radio, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)."
You can't blame Beyoncé for throwing her hands up, and not just in a video. The strategy with "Beyoncé" was clearly to put out a record and let radio worry about what it wanted to play. When that album became phenomenal, that strategy worked, to a degree, as CHR tried to play "XO" then "Drunk In Love," even if neither became a full-fledged hit. But it's hard to count on CHR doing that work on multiple projects.
I still think the pop hit on "Lemonade" is "Hold Up." That song is melodic. It's built on an early '60s pop/MOR sample. It's still getting 350 spins a week between Urban, Rhythmic, and Urban AC (where I think it should have been bigger as well). I don't know how many pop PDs even heard it, but I think they could go back for it at any time, were PDs inclined to do that sort of thing these days.
Topic II –The Changing Sound of AC Gold: "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
Matt: A few years ago, you wrote about "More Than a Feeling" representing the new sound of AC. I think there's a case to be made that Def Leppard is the new Boston, as "Pour Some Sugar on Me" becomes a staple on stations from WLTW New York (one of the earlier ACs to add, I believe) to WSHH Pittsburgh (a locally-owned station with a softer, more conservative history).
It's interesting to observe the gradual integration of hair bands and hard rockers into AC playlists over the years. "Livin' on a Prayer" leads to "Here I Go Again," which leads to "Pour Some Sugar on Me," which leads to "Sweet Child O' Mine" on a growing number of stations. This is kind of a stretch, but could "You Shook Me All Night Long" be far behind, especially as several ACs position themselves against a strengthening classic hits competitor that can easily play G'n'R and AC/DC?
Sean: "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is in the top 250 most played AC songs with 250 spins this week. "Sweet Child O' Mine" has less than ten spins at AC. "You Shook Me All Night Long" is getting 16 spins, but ten of those are at WMGF Orlando, Fla., (which is playing the other two as well). "You Shook Me…" has long been acknowledged as an all-ages weddings/parties song, but both AC and Classic Hits seem to view it differently than Def Leppard, and maybe at this point, it's too old for some ACs to go back for—squeaking in under the January 1980 cutoff by about seven months.
Since the emergence of the AC format on FM, there's always been some "I can't believe it's AC" record. In the early '80s, it was the (then-decade-old) "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress." Def Leppard always had a good shot at becoming that, because they lived a double life (like most of the hair bands) as teen pop idols. A decade or so ago, as "Pour Some Sugar" resurfaced in multiple formats, I remember seeing programmers' surprise as it performed even better with women than men. But it made sense. And it's been amusing seeing "More Than A Feeling" go from being the record that was too hot to consider at AC to a song that's too old to play (because it's from fall '76).
For me, the jolt was seeing Def Leppard on KOST Los Angeles. It wasn't that long ago (okay, maybe a decade or so) that KOST had gone back and begun playing the Carpenters again to make a statement. AC often seems to verge these days on becoming an entirely different format, playing any bright, uptempo song from the past 35-or-so years that adult women love. One AC programmer recently commented to me that his station was more consistently uptempo than the CHR in the market, as that station slogged its way through the available EDM ballads.
The only issue is that many of those stations are KOST or WLIF Baltimore, occupying the dial position of a station once expected to be the most relaxing thing on the dial, and unobtrusive in the workplace. PDs often consider themselves more constrained than guided by those expectations, but they're hard to outright defy. WLIF has successfully forged ahead anyway, and its recently launched sister station, WTDY Philadelphia, without any heritage to grapple with, has landed in a place where it is Hot AC in texture but AC in terms of gold/current percentage, timing on newer songs, etc.
Topic III – The Changing Sound of AC Currents
Matt: What, if anything, does it say about the state of EDM, the AC format and WLTW when three of Lite-FM's eight most-played songs are by EDM artists: the Chainsmokers, DJ Snake and Calvin Harris?
Sean: For starters, it says that AC and Hot AC are both dependent on what CHR is handing down to them. Songs that you think would be doing even better at AC, like Train's "Play That Song" or Niall Horan's "This Town," aren't as big as the songs that CHR has more enthusiastically ratified. If CHR doesn't want to invent records, AC doesn't even want those songs worked to it if they don't have lateral support elsewhere.
AC has been used to busy-sounding, EDM-flavored records for more than five years now, ever since the songs in question were "Only Girl In The World" and "DJ Got Us Falling In Love." In some ways, today's loping "trop-house" EDM is less disconcerting. And if core artists like Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5 are making those kind of records, why be hung up on a technicality like a new, similarly flavored Justin Bieber song technically being credited to DJ Snake?
I've clearly had concerns about CHR being focused around so many similar sounding songs over the last year, and I think the ratings bear me out. I've also seen evidence that not every AC or even Hot AC listener is entirely comfortable with that sound. But if you don't consider yourself constrained by "softest, most relaxing" or "unobtrusive at work," perhaps it's different.
About Matt DelSignore: "After 13 years as a radio news reporter, covering everything from Hurricane Katrina to Barack Obama's inauguration, I'm currently a stay-at-home dad living in San Francisco who loves discussing all things radio–as long as the boss, my one-year-old son, is napping."

In an interview with Hot 107.9 radio Monday morning, Kanye West said he's done trading words with President Obama, lamenting that the president "used" him as a "punching bag" when he called the rapper a "jackass" back in 2009.
Obama famously called West the crude synonym for "fool" during a 2009 interview about the rapper's antics at that year's MTV Video Music Awards. While discussing the incident, West told 107.9 hosts Shamara and Laiya St. Clair that he felt "used" by the president, despite their pre-2008 history of having a good relationship.
"He used to come and visit me and my mama and tell me that he's about to run for president," West recalled. "I just think that we're pop icons, and the president likes to use that type of thing just to be down and stuff. People was fine with me being everyone's punching bag for about five years — 'Man, this is the person we love to hate, so if you want to distract people from everything that's going on…, just say you hate Kanye and there's going be 30 other people who say they hate Kanye.'"
"That was kind of my position in culture so he also used that too — 'Oh, he's a jackass' — because that's how the world felt," the hip-hop artist said.

Well, that video on Khan Academy was much better than my post. Thanks for sharing it. I have already shared it on Facebook. The more people know about what is going on, the better.
I did like the technology CEOs on my discussion link who said that they thought internet piracy laws are needed; they just need to have the technology guys help write the law -- not lobbyists.
Have you posted this to PA? I think it is worth sharing on all of the fool boards. If I understand it correctly, this whole site could be shut down if they pass a bill anything like this. I think SOPA/PIPA is dead, but who is to say they won't sneak a new bill in sometime later that is very similar?
Yup. SOPA and PIPA are all but dead according to today's news, but they won't give up.
I'll take your suggestion and post the Khan video to PA.

The illegal commercial bushmeat trade is the biggest threat to the great apes and other primates in central Africa. Addressing such a trade is challenging and requires the efforts of governments, donors and NGOs working together.
We have been involved in primate conservation since the late 1990s, when the critical situation facing the primates and other animals of the forests of central Africa became widely publicised. Although progress has been made, there is still much work to be done in order to prevent some of the most charismatic species from becoming extinct.
Primate rescue centres
We support Ape Action Africa (AAA) in caring for more than 250 young primates, orphaned by the illegal bushmeat trade.
We work with AAA on on the front line of great ape protection by rescuing primates whose parents have been killed by poachers, and re-homing them at the Mefou National Park - the largest Gorilla sanctuary in Africa. The 1044 hectare park is currently home to around 17 young gorillas, 90 chimpanzees and over 150 monkeys.
By providing AAA with financial support as well a UK base, facilities, and advice and training in veterinary, animal care, and education programmes we help secure ape rescue efforts.
Gorillas and chimpanzees are being hunted, killed and sold for meat. No one really knows the scale of the killing but, in just one district of Cameroon in the western part of Africa, an estimated 800 gorillas are shot for meat every year. To add to the horror, when the adults are killed their young are taken and sold as pets, but they often die of starvation or disease in a few days.
Gorillas and chimpanzees are protected species, but the bushmeat trade is the biggest threat that they face. 90% of the chimpanzee population has already been lost, and, without major conservation efforts, it is feared that all the apes in Cameroon could be wiped out within the next few decades.
If we don't do anything then bushmeat hunting at the present levels will lead to extinction within the next few decades. It will also lead to a humanitarian crisis as the impact of over-hunting affects people too. The sources of food, medicine and livelihood that indigenous communities depend upon are being severely depleted.
Dja engagment and support projects
The Dja Biosphere Reserve is a Classs II Protected Area and World Heritage Site.BCSF has joined forces the Living Earth Foundation to work closely with local communities to alleviate pressure on this site of World importance.
Our long-term aim is to help local people help themselves to a more secure and sustainable future.

SALT LAKE CITY — Alpha Warranty Services' vice president of risk and operations, Jeff Robinson, was honored with the Utah Business "20 in their 20s" award at the annual event held at The Falls event center. Winners will be featured in the November issue of Utah Business magazine.
"This award to me represents a lot of hard work and perseverance. I remember numerous times in my early 20s that a friend would call and want to go shoot hoops or go to a movie and I'd have to decline because I was working full-time and going to school and raising a family," Robinson said. "Looking back, it was well worth it."
The "20" include founders of nonprofits, prodigies at established companies, entrepreneurs and marketers climbing the ranks of some of Utah's most visible companies. Many cited a desire to give back to their communities, whether through charity or in helping to build the economy, among their driving motivations.

On Sunday night James Arthur launched into another one of his infamous Twitter outbursts.
The X Factor winner posted a string of messages where he compared himself to an exploited killer whale and slammed the promo team who are behind some of his tweets.
The outspoken 26-year-old star likened himself to Tilikum - the whale that pulled SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau into its tank and drowned her, and was the subject of the controversial documentary Blackfish.
Speaking in relation to his upcoming mixtape All The World's A Stage, he posted: "I would like the front cover to be a drawing of the killer whale/Orca from sea world who features in the documentary "Blackfish" TILIKUM.
"Ideally I'd like him to be attacking a crowd of people, lashing out after being exploited. Include my name and the title of the mixtape."
The Impossible singer, who only just recently took to Twitter to have a moan about lack of radio play, also blasted his promo team, saying they were "embarrassing".
He wrote: "HQ please stop writing things like 'we think you would #LOVE This and that' or 'everybody #GETDOWN and buy this..' It's embarrassing.
"Stick to promoting Paul Potts please. Thanks. #LOVE."
But it wasn't long before Britain's Got Talent winner Paul caught wind of James' cutting comments and hit back.
"You're a talented guy and ur music is great. But you're not an amateur anymore. Criticising ur promotion team openly on here... isn't the best idea," he wrote.
"Their wages come out of your budget and there will come a time when you need them more than they need u."
Strong words, Potts.


text: Parents have recently been asking me questions about a serious topic recognizing the early signs of autism. Let me see if I can provide some answers. Autism is diagnosed when a childs brain develops a different wiring system, resulting in the child having more difficulty making sense of the world in which he or she lives. This results in the child having trouble doing everyday things like communicating and interacting with others. Autism affects between 1 in 150 and 1 in 500 children, depending on what study you read, and its symptoms can run the spectrum, from very mild to severe. Two people with autism may not act alike or have the same level of functioning. We dont really know what causes autism, and there is no definitive lab or imaging test that can diagnose autism. Only direct observation of a childs behavior will identify this disorder. Therefore, the important thing is to recognize autism sooner and begin treatment. This will help a child adjust, and it may lead to better outcomes. Some early signs that may point to autism include the following: if your baby is not smiling back at you by six months of age, if the baby doesnt seem interested in looking at peoples faces, is not pointing, is not imitating sounds or gestures, or is not babbling by one year of age. Also of concern if your child is not using words by 16 months, or if he or she shows a loss or regression of any language or social skills before age two years. Older toddlers with autism may want to play by themselves, will not engage in pretend-play, will not respond to their name, or will not acknowledge other children playing alongside them. They may line up objects and sort them into colors, or have difficulty making eye contact with other people. If your child exhibits only one of these symptoms, its probably not autism. If several of the symptoms are noticed or you are simply concerned about your childs development, please talk to your childs doctor, so more definitive developmental testing can be performed. Hopefully tips like this will help develop your understanding of when to be concerned that your child may be showing signs of autism.

It was an artistic renaissance laced with unexpected collaborations: Henri Matisse constructed costumes and Pablo Picasso used a stage curtain as a canvas. The Ballets Russes, the groundbreaking dance company founded by Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, was at the forefront of European art in the early 20th century.
One hundred years after the company's premiere of Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky's "The Rite of Spring," the National Gallery of Art will exhibit "Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced With Music," from May 12 to Sept. 2.
The 135-piece multimedia exhibition includes costumes, paintings, sculptures, set designs, prints, film clips and the largest objects ever to be displayed at the National Gallery of Art: Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova's backdrop for the 1926 production of "The Firebird" and the front curtain for "The Blue Train," designed by Pablo Picasso in 1924.
"We have not done a show like this before," said Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art, of the 12,000-square-foot multimedia exhibition. "That moment in cultural history is a particularly resonant one when the performing arts, the fine arts and music came together. The show will touch many areas of cultural interest."
Diaghilev created the Ballets Russes in 1909 after a presentation of Russian ballet in Paris. The founder of Russia's first arts journal, he had dramatic influence on the art worlds in London, Paris and Berlin and initiated collaborations with the leading artists of the time, including composers Stravinsky and Claude Debussy, designer Coco Chanel, and artists Picasso, Matisse and Georges Braque. At the height of the company's fame, the Ballets Russes toured Europe, the United States and South America. The company mixed elements of Russian and Western dance to create lavish productions that revolutionized ballet. It performed in Washington in 1916.
A version of the exhibition originated at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2010, but the National Gallery's adaptation will include more than 50 additional pieces on loan from museums around the world, including Dansmuseet in Sweden and the National Gallery of Australia.
"We're not reprising the show but using it as inspiration," Powell said. "We've added a lot of fine art to it — it's truly a multimedia show."
The exhibition will showcase costumes and sets designed by Leon Bakst, Chanel, Giorgio De Chirico and Sonia Delaunay. A section of the show will focus on Vaslav Nijinsky, the company's most prominent choreographer, who is often called the greatest male dancer of the 20th century. The opulent costumes Nijinsky wore in performances of "Giselle" and "Le Festin" will also be on display.
Housing the blockbuster exhibition will be an additional challenge for the National Gallery. While opera houses and performing arts centers are designed to house massive stage sets, the gallery has never before displayed a work of this scale. In six weeks, the gallery will begin construction to raise the ceilings of the exhibition rooms to accommodate the 34-foot front curtain designed "The Blue Train" and 33.5-foot backdrop for "The Firebird."
But the gallery is not ignoring the tiny details of ballet. The exhibition includes earrings worn by Nijinsky in "Scheherazade," watercolor costume designs and original posters from performances.
As for whether the gallery intends to have more multimedia shows of this scale in the future, Powell points to the singularity of the Ballets Russes:
"You'd have to find another Diaghilev," he said.
