Power and Piety: Spanish Colonial Art
August 20 – November 12, 2016
Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, cattle ranching and cash crop cultivation transformed Latin American elites into some of the wealthiest people in the world. Such affluence invigorated the production and consumption of art made with American gold and silver as well as woods with colors and grains of unparalleled richness. The most opulent pieces were procured by churches, local nobility, and the wealthiest individuals. Meanwhile, slightly less refined works were available to a mass market with more modest assets. Spanish colonial art rivaled the beauty and sublimity of objects treasured by European connoisseurs. This exhibition features dozens of paintings, sculptures, silver pieces, furnishings, and decorative devotional objects accentuating the talents of local artisans and the tastes of art patrons across the Atlantic World. The exhibition provides an opportunity to appreciate priceless artifacts while learning about the exchange of ideas and aesthetics between the Old and the New Worlds.

You: Who's there?
Me: Interrupting second grader.
You: Interrupting sec-----
My experience today: Interrupting second grader is ME! What's your name? Are you Henry's mom? Watch me shake my milk like THIS because this makes it taste better and it also makes lots of bubbles (lick, lick). What's your address? I don't know my address. You see that boy over there? He doesn't know his address and he doesn't even HAVE to know his address because he has DIABETES did you even know that? Look at all this ketchup on my burger but I'm not even going to eat it but I ate all my pickles but maybe I'll eat my burger. I'm going to be a policeman when I grow up and when my mom was PREGNANT I got the FLU and I had to stay in my room for a week and two days until my fever went away. Do you like this picture of my FAMILY? Yeah, it's all in a day's work.
I came home from having lunch at the kids' school and had to take a nap. Interrupting second grader(s), indeed.

Soup, glorious soup
I'd like to coin a new phrase. Based on my love of soup – I eat soup every day – I think it's only fair that I refer to myself as a soupie. Now, let's see if we can make 'soupie' catch on – I know I'm not the only one!
A walk in the cold winter sun left me needing to thaw out. Although choice wouldn't be the first word I'd have used to describe my kitchen cupboards yesterday, I knew there was enough to create something warm and delicious, with the help of some kale, bacon, cannellini beans and pearl barley. And that's the beauty of soup, you can take it as far as your imagination will carry you, or in my case, it helped to turn precious little into a heart-warming meal.
Broth-like in consistency, the bacon in this soup adds a delicious saltiness to this dish, whilst the kale adds a hint of spice. Here's what you'll need to make this winter-warmer:
Cannellini bean, bacon and kale broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp of dried thyme
- 6 slices of bacon, fat trimmed off and chopped into small pieces
- 1 400g tin of cannellini beans
- 5 tbsps of pearl barley
- 200g of kale
- 1.6 litres of vegetable stock
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Add a glug of olive oil to a pot and sauté your onion and garlic until they have softened. Add your bacon and thyme and sauté for a further few minutes, until the bacon has turned pale pink in colour.
- Add the cannellini beans, pearl barley and stock. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer until the pearl barley has softened and is cooked through. This will take 20-25 minutes.
- Add the kale and cook for a further two minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with a crusty loaf of bread.

For the second time this season, the Detroit Red Wings placed Jakub Kindl on waivers on Tuesday afternoon. Today, he cleared once again, and will head to the Grand Rapids Griffins for another tour of duty. Both the pro and anti-Kindl crowds had reasons for being upset, but the end result, as odd as it sounds, is a slightly more valuable asset.
Kindl is a polarizing figure in Detroit. The underlying numbers, be it possession, production, situational, or even with/without you all seem to imply that he makes a positive impact on play, but his play seems to fall off a cliff when's given a heavy workload. Not to mention, his mistakes often aren't just glaring; they're disastrous.
Naturally, a player like him would be best suited to sheltered, third pairing minutes somewhere, there's likely a team out there that is willing to pounce on a player like that. The problem, though? His contract is a little more than third pairing, to say the least; he's on the penultimate year of a deal with a $2.4 million cap hit attached. To make matters worse, he's owed more "real dollars" for the remainder of the deal than the space that he takes up. Teams with internal caps tend to shy away from these backloaded players..
According to NHL waiver rules, players who have successfully cleared waivers become temporarily exempt from re-entering the process if called back up. Specifically, they must be members of the team for 10 games or 30 calendar days before the clock resets. The Wings called up Kindl on February 3rd, meaning he still had a handful of games or a week and a half before he needed to pass through again.
By waiving him now, the Red Wings have reset the clock and opened up a window where, if they can't find a suitor for Kindl by Monday, they can send him up and down at will for another month, heading into the final stretch of the year. Teams took advantage of this "loophole" last year, especially those with nearby AHL affiliates (looking at you, Toronto). Every day down with the Griffins puts saves the team a few thousand dollars. For the Wings, who are deadlocked against the cap, that's a nice layer of flexibility.
At the same time, that 30 days of freedom started after the first call-up, could be something that entices another team. If you're willing to pay for the travel and have a close affiliate, it's a way to even further slash the cap hit of a late-season acquisition. The Wings still have the issue of finding a team that could squeeze him in now and next year, but certainly, giving them a few thousand more dollars of cap relief might open up an extra option or two.
Worst case scario? Kindl will attempt to prove himself again with the Griffins while the team uses him sparingly until their next attempt to move his deal at the draft.

Black Man Will Spend Six Years In Georgia Prison Despite Jury Finding Him Not Guilty!
A black man who was found not guilty of armed robbery will still serve up to seven years behind bars after a judge ruled he had breached the rules of his probation sentence for another crime.
Ramad Chatman handed himself in to police when he found out he was a suspect for an armed robbery at a convenience store in his hometown of Georgia in July 2014.
"He turned himself in because he knew he was not guilty," his grandmother Janice Chatman told US news channel 11Alive.
The 24-year-old was already was serving a five year probation term (a court order served outside prison through fines and community service) for his first ever offence, breaking and entering an apartment to steal a television worth $120 (£92) in 2012. Posted By Ghost

As some of you already know, because the orders have been coming in since early morning, our two new books are now available to buy.
In case anyone's missed the advance brouhaha (unlikely, we know!) Cimorene Ross's THE EAGLE'S WING, set in Northern Europe during the second century CE, tells the entertaining story of Decurion Lucius Valerius Carus and the heathen slave, Keret, whom he buys on a whim. If you're looking for a restrained, easy-going romance with a solidly-researched historical background, this could well be the book for you!
By contrast Jane Elliot's MONTANA RED is set against the background of the Old West; it details the adventures of the hapless Henry, when he accidentally falls into the hands of Red and his friends in the fascinating and secretive gay sub-culture of the nineteenth century. It's a little spicier than most of our titles, and we're certain it will be a great hit!
Anyone who collects statistics will be interested (but surely not surprised) to know that Julie's THE APOTHECARY'S GARDEN is still selling in phenomenal numbers and was our overall best-seller for July. The picture for sales on the website was far more diffuse, with no overall top seller and Julie and Adam Fitzroy coming in equal as best-selling authors; it's been a very odd month like that!
However, now we at Megaheadquarters can take a deep breath, gird up our loins (we might even stiffen the sinews and summon up the blood, if we can find the energy!), and start thinking in slightly more detail about our two 1 November publications. No rest for the wicked, you know ... and we're pretty sure that includes us!

The Homogeneous q-Difference Operator
William Y. C. Chen , Amy M. Fu and Baoyin Zhang
Abstract: We introduce a q-differential operator Dxy on functions in two variables which turns out to be suitable for dealing with the homogeneous form of the q-binomial theorem as studied by Andrews, Goldman and Rota, Roman, Ihrig and Ismail, et al. The homogeneous versions of the q-binomial theorem and the Cauchy identity are often useful for their specializations of the two parameters. Using this operator, we derive an equivalent form of the Goldman-Rota binomial identity and show that it is a homogeneous generalization of the q-Vandermonde identity. Moreover, the inverse identity of Goldman and Rota also follows from our unified identity. We also obtain the q-Leibniz formula for this operator. In the last section, we introduce the homogeneous Rogers-Szegö polynomials and derive their generating function by using the homogeneous q-shift operator.
Keywords: q-binomial theorem, Cauchy polynomials, q-Vandermonde identity, homogeneous q-difference operator, q-Leibniz formula, homogeneous Rogers-Szegö polynomials.

KARIZMA, "Euphoria"
With his new song "Euphoria", 20 year old Minnesota rapper Karizma wants everyone to know that it's okay to fall in love. He's all about peace, love, co-operation, unity – positive messages from someone who enjoys the stage but never feels that he's above anyone else. He's had his successes in the hip hop scene in the Twin Cities and deserves to breakout nation-wide. I caught Karizma (aka Morgan Parriott) opening up for MAX (Schneider) in concert last month, and his energetic and personable set was a breath of fresh air, sort of like the kinder side of Eminem. "Euphoria" (which revolves around a sample from "Radio" by Alkaline Trio) is a standout song and contrasts a downbeat melody with convincing lyrics that make you feel good. He calls his largely teen fans 'losers' because he cares – he's been down and out, and knows how to rise above it, and they're all in this together to have a good time. Give a listen to "Euphoria" below and be sure to catch a Karizma show when he comes to your city – guaranteed to make you smile.

Aki Kaurismäki's "proletariat trilogy" opens, appropriately, with the color blue. The first image in Shadows in Paradise, the earliest film by the Finnish director included in Eclipse's box set, is an ice-blue garage door parting like a curtain as garbage-truck drivers pass through, wearing matching uniforms. The moody tones conjure up an atmosphere of muted melancholy that threatens to become overpowering, but then two of the cheerless garbage men trade words. "I'm not going to die behind a wheel," one says. "Then where?" "Behind a desk." Humor and perseverance, no matter how ludicrous and out of place they may seem, keep despair at bay in Kaurismäki's stories of sourpussed outsiders. Life in these films is a matter of disappointment, frustration and injustice, a perpetually overcast sky occasionally broken by the delicacy of a gesture or a good rockabilly song. Kaurismäki's worldview is distinctively humanistic but resolutely astringent, and watching it can be akin to tasting a strong brand of whiskey best enjoyed in small cups (not for nothing are so many of his films barely over 70 minutes).
Shadows in Paradise, the director's third feature, offers a catalog of Kaurismäki motifs: abrupt beatings, ballroom songs, time in prison and the absolute refusal to crack a smile. Garbage man Nikander (Matti Pellonpää) is, like many a Kaurismäki character, a lone soul glumly enduring life's whims. A glimmer of hope comes in a furtive romance with supermarket cashier-girl Illona (Kati Outinen), but love here is no less capricious than betrayal. Like his American compadre Jim Jarmusch, Kaurismäki sees the world as a succession of seedy apartments and forlorn roads in which people live moment by moment, an eternal struggle that, industrial settings or not, has less to do with class than with the basic human need for connection. Also like Jarmusch, his characters' escalating miseries are always a step away from absurdist comedy. In one scene, an hotelier (played Kaurismäki himself) reads a list of amenities and prices to the shelterless Illona before casually mentioning that they're out of rooms; later, when asked what keeps him from running away with his beloved, Nikander deadpans, "Horror, fear and this job." Often compared to Bresson, Kaurismäki is closer to Buster Keaton.
Kaurismäki prunes and distills narrative, but he's no monk: There's real, terse virtuosity to his use of color and camera movement, including a terrific overhead tracking shot of factory machinery scored to Casey Bill Weldon's "W.P.A. Blues" in Ariel. The prole hero this time around is Taisto (Turo Pajala), a mineworker who leaves his provincial town in a Cadillac after hearing his mentor's advice ("Don't look back," the old man says, moments before blowing his brains out). A stopover at a stylized homeless shelter follows, then a prison sentence that aligns him with cellmate Mikkonen (Matti Pellonpää) and propels him into the Finnish underworld. As in Shadows in Paradise, a tentative relationship (here marriage with Susanna Haavisto's forthright meter maid) promises precarious redemption, though a happy ending (the title refers not to Shakespeare's sprite of innocence, but to a Mexico-bound boat) is included expressly as a mocking reminder of real life's dearth of happy endings. What diminishes Ariel, strangely, isn't its parade of misfortunes but its attempts at whimsy. By the time a Finnish version of "Over the Rainbow" swells over the closing credits, the drollness has come perilously close to the cuteness of, say, Napoleon Dynamite.
No trace of cuteness can be found in The Match Factory Girl, the toughest and most concentrated of the trilogy's tragicomedies. The film's theme is stated, with characteristic bluntness, in the opening sequence, as a tree trunk is thrown into a machine and whittled down to the size of a matchstick—an unstressed but merciless metaphor for what life's severities do to the spirit. Just as jail and the outside world seem often interchangeable to the protagonists of the earlier films, for Iris (Kati Outinen, cementing her status as Kaurismäki's sublimely lugubrious muse) there's little difference between working at the factory and dining at home with her parents. At the dance hall, the band sings of a dreamland of flowers in bloom while Iris sips soda alone after every other girl has been asked for a dance: It's a cruelly funny moment, but the gravity achieved by the director and the actress complicates our laughter. The many calamities that befall the heroine bring to mind another, more famous match girl, yet whereas the naïf of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale embraces her tragic destiny, Iris decides to finally stand up and challenge her fate. The ensuing series of events, as compassionate as they are scabrous, provides not just a terrific, cathartic punchline to the story, but also illustrates the balance between human acquiescence and resistance at the heart of Kaurismäki's art.
Though not polished to Criterion's standards, image and sound on all three films are sturdy enough to do justice to the director's sharply desolate compositions and fondness for tangos.
No extras except liner notes, as expected of the Eclipse line.
Kaurismäki in a high-spirited mood: "Everything's okay tonight. I don't know about tomorrow though. The weather might change."

When it comes to adopting the appropriate capstone project format capstone writing, you could run into a few problems. There are several types of formatting possible for capstone writing, and some of them are a little difficult to get to grips with. Consider the exact formatting style encouraged or even required by your faculty and make sure you know exactly how to format your final project.
Getting to Grips with Capstone Project Documentation Format
The whole point of following a specific capstone project documentation format is to display all of your sources and secondary data in a means that is standardized and thus easy to follow. If your reader wants to check any given citation, it should be simple enough for them to understand exactly where to find a copy of the information to which you have referred in your main body of text.
You can find FREE communication capstone project ideas PDF on our website!
It sometimes feels like citation writing is something of a strategic challenge and you'd be well-advised to follow the writing recommendations below when you're learning how to format your capstone project references.
✔ The first step in the process is to collate all of your sources in a single list. Each source should include a full range of information regarding its location. In particular, you need to focus on the journal in which it was published and when this took place. Without this information alongside the article title, it could be impossible for your reader to track down your capstone project references.
✔ The next stage in the process is to apply your chosen referencing style to the information you've put together. Some formatting styles are more detailed than others, and that's the main reason why you need to make sure that you have gathered as much specific information about each published article as possible. Ensure that you follow the same formatting style throughout; some of them are similar and it's easy to make a mistake if you're inattentive.
✔ The final step in the referencing process is to ensure that you've adhered to all of the stylistic specifics. For example, you'll need to make sure that you've typed the right parts in bold or italic. Otherwise, your bibliography won't look quite as it should, even if all the constituent parts are in the correct order.
If you have no idea how to write a capstone paper, check out the link and find out with us!
The Main Formatting Styles Used
The exact formatting style used depends on a number of factors. Typically, it's either a convention followed by your chosen academic field as a whole, such as the APA format, or it's an approach that your university itself has developed or chosen, such as the Harvard format. Rules within each format differ depending on whether the source is a book, journal article, website or something else entirely. Make sure you know exactly how to format your citations.
The APA Format
If you're doing a psychology-related capstone project APA format is going to be the one for you. This makes sense given that it refers to the American Psychological Association. Generally speaking, when you cite sources for your capstone project APA format is in the following order.
➤ Author's Surname
➤ Author's First Initials
➤ Year of Publication
➤ Article Title
➤ Journal Name
➤ Volume Number
➤ Page Range
The Harvard Format
When it comes to a university-level capstone project Harvard formatting is going to be used in the vast majority of cases where the APA format has been eschewed. The typical outline you should follow if you want to add a bibliography to your capstone project Harvard style is as below.
➤ Author's Surname
➤ Author's First Initials
➤ Year of Publication
➤ Article Title
➤ Journal Name
➤ Volume (Issue)
➤ Page Range
Other Styles
There are several other styles of formatting that are sufficiently common in academia to deserve mention here. If you're unfamiliar with any of the styles below, you can hire an expert editor to help you make sense of anything that concerns you. Other styles include the following.
➤ Turabian
➤ Chicago
If you're having trouble with ascertaining how to type up your capstone project format, consider talking to an expert academic professional. We offer a range of services to make sure that your capstone project is absolutely perfect before you submit it for review by your professors. Take a look at all the options available to you before handing over your project for grading.

New Delhi: A Court of Inquiry into the
Mangalore air crash that claimed 158 lives is likely to be set
up next week, highly-placed sources said today.
"The Court of Inquiry is likely to be set up any time
next week," the sources said, adding that the legalities of
its constitution, including whether it would be headed by a
serving or former High Court judge, have been studied.
However, a prominent person with knowledge of the
aviation sector, apart from a judge, can also be appointed as
the head of such an inquest panel as per the provisions of the
law. But the sources maintained that, so far, most of such
Courts have been headed by judges.
The Court would be assisted by two assessors having
aviation background, they said, adding that one of them could
be from engineering and the other from operations so that all
aspects of Saturday`s crash could be inquired into.
Almost all the material evidences collected from the
crash site have been taken over by the Inspector of Accidents,
appointed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation a day
after the crash.
These would be handed over to the Court of Inquiry,
once it takes over charge.
The sources said the issue of whether to start
decoding the Flight Data Recorder or Black Box, the Cockpit
Voice Recorder and the Digital Flight Data Acquisition Unit,
is likely to be decided after the Court is set up.
Several theories relating to the crash like the plane
took an "incorrect" flight path or missed the touchdown point
or a brake failure occurred, pilots` fatigue or a judgemental
error by the pilots have been given out as prima facie reasons
by technical experts, but all of them said the final report of
the probe should be awaited.
The Boeing 737-800 of the Air India Express had
overshot the Bajpe Airport runway on May 22 and its 90 metre
long spillover area, plunged into a ravine and burst into
flames claiming 158 lives.
Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel and top officials
have already said the runway was operationally compliant and
technically fit for flying a Boeing 737-800, the plane was two
years old with no history of defects and both the pilots, Capt
Zlatko Glusica and Capt S S Ahluwalia, were very experienced
and had carried out a large number of take-offs and landings
in Mangalore.

Normally this isn't the kind of thing that needs notice here, except in a few big name cases, but since JeffB said this SSR had different food from others because of the chef's skills, I suppose it means the menu is about to get a shake up, probably to be more in line with the others in the chain. From Metromix:
SushiSamba Rio executive chef Jason Paskewitz has resigned his position, just nine days after the eagerly awaited Japanese-Peruvian-Brazilian eatery opened for business. The restaurant has named Michael Schwartz as his replacement. Schwartz was previously the executive chef and co-owner of Nemo in Miami Beach, named by Esquire as one of the best new restaurants in America in 1995. He also cooked at Wolfgang Puck's Chinois in Los Angeles. Schwartz will take over the kitchen, working in tandem with sushi chef Takanori Wada.

|20 Genestealers! (With a broodlord...)
So, to be honest, the most notible thing to happen in the first turn was 1SGs genestealers mad rushing and multiple charging into my line of chimeras and hydras. This caused quite a bit of devastation in the early moves of the game, severely hindering my ability to dish out a large amount of medium strength firepower!

|"You want us to go WHERE, sarge?!?"
|Imperial Fuel is delicious!
|Ammo is the only thing more delicious than fuel!
(Ammo obj. was just to the right of the pic.)
Ultimately, it was an awesome game against a stellar opponent. I always relish the games I get to play with good friends, as they always are a blast. I'm lucky enough to get to play with 1SG nearly every week now. So, perhaps you'll see more of my defeats soon enough! (LOL)
Good Gaming!

Cameron Norrie has moved one match away from a showdown with Novak Djokovic after winning his final qualifying contest at Indian Wells.
The British number three is looking to move into the world's top 100 in the coming months, and the 22-year-old's win over Sergiy Stakhovsky has taken him a step closer to that goal.
The current number 111 recorded two breaks of serve in each set to run out a convincing 6-4 6-2 victor over the Ukrainian to reach his first-ever main draw at a Masters Series event.
Norrie has been handed a first-round clash with fellow qualifier Taro Daniel, with the prize for the winner a meeting with former world number one Djokovic.
Kyle Edmund has been given a bye, with the new British number one due to face either Denis Istomin or Peter Gojowczyk later this week.

You may remember that earlier this year Les Soeurs Anglaises mounted a competition to win a place on one of our popular workshops (see previous blog). Interested participants were asked to submit a jigsaw shaped patchwork piece, stitched with inspirational wording, to be made up into a quilt – the finished quilt to be auctioned to raise funds for the Cambodian Children's Fund, an amazing charity based in Phnom Penh that provides life-changing education, nourishment and healing to vulnerable children from some of Cambodia's most destitute communities, most of whom live on the rubbish tips around the city.
Backed in vintage French linen by Les Soeurs the quilt measures 110cms by 160cms
We'll be posting developments and letting you know the final amount raised, but meanwhile, thank you to everyone who contributed to this beautiful piece - for their hard work and creativity. Inspirational!
We'll ask be announcing our new website, with all the workshop dates for next year, very shortly. There will be a few surprises, new faces, and unusual developments, so make sure you watch this space!

In September, HMRC announced that the new in-year penalties for sending late PAYE returns under RTI would be introduced in stages.
The penalties were expected to come into force for all employers on 6 October 2014, but shortly before the implementation date HMRC decided to operate a phased-in approach so that employers with fewer than 50 employees will only face the automatic in-year penalties from 6 March 2015.
This came as a most welcome announcement and relief for advisers, employers and payroll administrators. The hope is that HMRC will now use the time before March 2015 to assist small employers with the problems they have experienced in filing under RTI.
Earlier this year I became a member of the RTI Taskforce. This group consists of tax advisers from both large and small firms, payroll administrators, representatives of the professional bodies and software providers. The group is different to the usual consultation forums as it was initiated by its members, rather than HMRC, who are invited along as guests. It has been somewhat of an 'eye-opener' for me to hear about the range of problems agents and payroll administrators have been experiencing with RTI and that 18 months down the line, there are still a good number to be resolved.
This is particularly startling in light of the number of instances where HMRC are proposing to use RTI data to improve services in other areas, such as tax credit renewals. Even the new process for dealing with deceased employees, where the requirement for form R27 (asking for details of income to date of death) has now been removed, is based on the assumption that data can instead be obtained from the RTI system.
These are all reasonable aims to have but the concern is whether HMRC, by building on the RTI system and interrogating its data so soon after implementation, are placing too much reliance on it at this stage.
RTI has in the past few weeks received some negative coverage in the national media due to the fact that around 20,000 incorrect P800s were sent out to taxpayers as a result of data from the RTI system. The ATT issued a press release commenting on this media coverage and calling for the inclusion of external specialists to be included in a review of the RTI system in order to restore public confidence.
In HMRC's recent news release announcing the deferment of in-year penalties for small employers, Ruth Owen stated that 'over 95% of PAYE schemes making payments to individuals are successfully reporting in real time, and 70% say it is easy to do'.
There is obviously room for improvement on those statistics, especially if the resulting data is to be used for a number of other purposes. The last thing any of us want to see is a situation where there is a mass of incorrect penalties being issued or incorrect awards of universal credit being made, which would result in a greater loss of confidence in real time reporting.
Both sides need to maintain an open and honest dialogue in order to progress this matter and work on ways to keep improving the system. It is in the interests of all parties involved.
One issue which keeps cropping up is the use of the Earlier Year Update ("EYU") form. It would appear that where HMRC realise their data does not match an employer's data they are asking employers to file EYUs in order to rectify the problem. One would naturally expect that HMRC's data can only be that derived from the employer. Quite how this mismatch occurs is a mystery. The EYU form was designed to allow an employer to file amended figures where it had made a mistake; it was not to enable HMRC to tidy up their own data. Putting that argument aside for the moment, if the EYU form allowed an employer to show total amended figures it would seem to be a way of ensuring that HMRC and employer figures could successfully be matched up in this way. However, the form asks employers to show the difference between the previously recorded figures and the new revised figures; not the new revised total figures. Therefore, when HMRC ask an employer to complete an EYU form in order to match data, it is impossible for the employer to know what figures to input without knowing what data HMRC already hold.
General opinion, certainly amongst the RTI Taskforce members, is that redesigning the EYU form so that total revised figures are recorded, rather than differences, would be a quick win for HMRC and lead to less confusion all round.
There are many other examples I could mention here and I'm sure readers could suggest a few themselves. HMRC insist that 'RTI' as a project is coming to an end and moving over into 'business as usual'. It is therefore perhaps time to start raising these issues across the board wherever
possible. One such avenue is to record instances of problems and issues via the ATT 'Working Together Forum' and I would encourage readers to start doing this by logging on to the following web page

text: Drones: Media Discourse and the Public Imagination starts with a basic premise: technology shapes and is shaped by the stories we tell about it. Stories about drones—at once anxious and hopeful, fearful and awe-inspired—are emblematic of the profound ambivalence that frequently accompanies the introduction of new technologies. Through critical analysis of a variety of cultural forms—from newspaper headlines, nightly newscasts, and documentary films, to advertising, entertainment media, and graphic arts—this book demonstrates the prevalence of drones in global battlefields and domestic airspace, public discourse, and the popular imagination. Written in a lively, engaging, and accessible style, Kevin Howley argues that media discourse plays a decisive role in shaping these new technologies, understanding their application in various spheres of human activity, and integrating them into everyday life. In doing so, Howley highlights the relationship between discursive and material practice in the social construction of technology.

Quick Hits: Santa Fe Catholic (12-12) is .500 because of a strong out-of-district schedule that included Lakeland, Ridge Community and George Jenkins. The Crimson Hawks, however, are a strong district team. Their only loss was a close, five-point loss to No. 1 seed Master's Academy. Still, it's not a given that they'll reach the title game becaause they beat likely semifinal opponent Orangewood Christian by just four points.
Lakeland Christian lost to its first-round opponent, Cornerstone Christian 59-45.

Once again, the headlines show the horror in the faces of the first responders to another inconceivable mass murder.
Once again, there are the faces of the survivors and relatives of the dead splashed on the front page.
Once again, people will demand answers to why someone could do this, and once again call for gun control. Once again, others will cling to their firearms and say no, it's our right.
Once again, our political leaders will swear that they will act to prevent this from happening again, and once again they will wilt like yesterday's flowers under the glare of those who would threaten to halt the money flow to our brave members of Congress.
Once again, our president will offer platitudes of sympathy to the victims and their families and then say that it's just too early to talk about gun control.
Once again, this event will fade from the headlines only to be replaced with another, until — what? Will we become a nation that is so numb to all this that, once again, the deaths will lose all meaning, except to the families that will still have to grieve and wonder what will it take next to shock us into saying "Never again"?
A quote sometimes attributed to Joseph Stalin applies to us now: "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." How many "once agains" must we suffer before all of our pain becomes a mere statistic?

Shares of Horizon Offshore HOFF, +2.88% dropped more than 23 percent after the Houston-based provider of marine construction services for the oil and gas industry delayed the filing of its Form 10-K for 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The delay follows the company's negotiation of financing deal that calls for the holders of $85 million worth of subordinated secured notes to receive equity securities representing 95 percent of Horizon's outstanding common stock. Horizon said $25 million worth of notes would remain outstanding upon closing of the transaction. It warned that the deal would "result in substantial dilution to the company's existing common shareholders" and that any investment in its stock "will continue to be highly speculative." Horizon will also have to delist its shares from the Nasdaq National Market in order to get the funding "without the lengthy delay associated with obtaining stockholder approval."

Excluding the charge, the company now expects earnings of $1.05 to $1.15 A share in 2005. JLG completed the sale of 5.75 million common shares on Wednesday for $21.97 each.

Sales for the quarter, however, rose to nearly $2.87 million from $2.45 million.

Lead Pastor
Lake Sawyer Christian Church
|Church Description *
|Lake Sawyer Christian Church sits on 20 wooded acres in Black Diamond, Washington. As you drive through the thick trees and enter the campus, one of the first things you see is a sign that says, "Come As You Are." The desire of LSCC is to be a welcoming place where the unchurched and broken feel at home. The worship and message are both very authentic and Bible-based but also applicable to Monday, not just Sunday. The church has adopted a "safe place to hear a dangerous message" philosophy where the Word is taught and not compromised. Lake Sawyer Christian Church has its early roots in the Church of Christ, but currently identifies with the Christian Church / Restoration Movement. LSCC desires to be contemporary to our culture without compromising the Word of God. They strive to be an irresistible community that encourages people to experience God and grow in biblical faith.
Lake Sawyer Christian Church is a 35-45 minute drive to Seattle / Tacoma International Airport. The church is perfectly located and draws from the surrounding communities of Auburn, Covington, Enumclaw, Kent, and Maple Valley. The City of Black Diamond is on the verge of growth. At 4,160 citizens, population projections may reach above 20,000 in the next 20 years. The new development of homes is less than one-half mile from the Lake Sawyer campus. The visibility of the church is going to skyrocket, and the opportunity to serve all kinds of new families moving into the area is what LSCC is preparing and staffing towards.
|Position Description *
|There are several unique challenges as the new Lead Pastor at Lake Sawyer Christian Church. First, following a successful 21-year ministry of Lee Giermann, the new Lead Pastor will need patience, humility, and confidence. Second, the new Lead Pastor will need to have an entrepreneurial spirit as the church seeks to leverage where God has placed them geographically and the explosive growth that is happening around the church. Third, creating or collaborating to create the processes and systems that will grow LSCC from 750 to 1,500 in weekend attendance. This is going to require shifts in the organizational chart and minds of Elders, staff, and congregation. Fourth, the church has entered the permitting process to expand/remodel the current facilities to accommodate growth in the children's classrooms and add additional gathering space. This will require someone with visionary leadership who can lead the church through a capital campaign, as well as those temporary obstacles that come with any construction project.
This Lead Pastor opportunity at Lake Sawyer Christian Church is truly unique. It will present the right person with the opportunity to:
* Lead a great staff that is hard-working and ready to take ground for the Kingdom.
Five or more years of experience as a Senior/Lead Pastor or Associate/Teaching Pastor is preferable, as well as experience with a multi-venue or multisite church program. A Bachelor's degree from a Restoration-based Bible College or University and an advanced degree or seminary training in Biblical studies, theology, or Christian ministry is required.
