Prom Night (2008)
|Directed By:
|Nelson McCormick
|Written By:
|J. S. Cardone
|Brittany Snow
|Jonathan Schaech
|Hugh Clark
|Idris Elba
Like a graduation ball held in a bucket of dog excrement, Prom Night has no redeeming features. It is vapid, incredibly dull, frustrating and pointless. Throw out your corsage, burn your dress and stay at home – Prom Night is not worth your attention.
The premise is this: rich, vacuous self-centered "teens" attend an ostentatious prom at a luxurious hotel. Unfortunately, a psycho murderer turns up and stabs people. A lot. It is "slightly" more complicated that this, as the murderer is an escaped prisoner who is obsessed with one of the prom girls (Donna Keppel – played by Brittany Snow). He'd previously murdered her family because he was in love with her, and now he's back, and he will do anything to… um… well, his motivation isn't exactly clear. Kill her, rape her, look at her from stairwell windows – one of the three. Maybe all three. What's important is we know he's obsessed with Donna and he loves to stab people with an embarrassingly small knife.
Based incredibly loosely on the Jamie Lee Curtis-starring original of 1980, this unrecognizable remake feels like someone took the alcohol out of the punch bowl and replaced it with raw coffee. Mixed with shards of glass. Prom Night 2008 is woeful on a tremendous number of levels. The script, penned by J.S. Cardone, is so perfunctory it could've been copy and pasted from a thousand other sub-standard slasher flicks. This is no surprise, considering Cardone is responsible for such yawn-fests as The Stepfather and The Covenant.
The acting is by-the-numbers and vastly uninspiring, even from the normally fantastic Idris Elba, and the only real survivor is the hotel desk clerk (Hugh Clark), who actually gives a believable and sympathetic performance. The responsibility, however, for most of Prom Night's cavalcade of failures, has to be director Nelson McCormack. Also responsible for The Stepfather remake, along with J.S. Cardone, this is a director / writer team-up that should be eradicated immediately. The characters are unsympathetic, the jumps are non-existent and the tension is totally absent. How Prom Night received a 15 certificate in the UK is also baffling as the violence is mostly off-screen or horribly repetitive. It is teeth-gratingly terrible.
If Prom Night teaches us anything it's how mind-meltingly incompetent the Bridgeport police department is. They're not just one step behind a killer with a clearly obvious plan, they're also wildly idiotic and do everything the hard way (they kick down every single door in a massive hotel, instead of just borrowing some master keys). The police report afterwards would probably just be a long printout of P45s and a badly-spelt apology.
Zero points also go to our antagonist Richard Fenton (Jonathan Schaech), who is such a typical fictional serial killer it's almost a parody. He walks incredibly slowly, must have teleportation skills, can hide in plain sight and can walk around looking like an absolute psychopath and no one seems to notice. Which is incredible since he's just a mentally-deranged school teacher! He is a walking cliché who is utterly devoid of originality, and is vastly unthreatening.
Maybe in 2036 someone else will re-make this cursed film again. Well, they couldn't do it any worse… although critics probably said that about the 1980 version. History has a horrible way of repeating itself.
Prom Nights have never been a safe event to attend according to Hollywood – Carrie, Dance of the Dead, Idle Hands – yet none have been so disastrous as Prom Night 2008. Epically terrible throughout, it bores, angers, frustrates and irritates. Prom Night is overwhelmingly awful. Never watch this.

Phenomenology and Technology in Support of Sub-Terahertz Radar Systems

About the Event
Abstract: Sub-terahertz (Sub-THz) systems operate at the interface between electronics and photonics, and have challenges from both disciplines. One of the main driving forces to develop such systems originates from security applications and, in particular, stand-off imaging of persons and hidden objects including concealed weapons and illicit explosives. Other important applications include very high speed, short distance, line-of- sight communication links, as well as short-range navigation radars envisioned for autonomous vehicles and unmanned drones. Radar systems operating in this frequency range have the potential to approach the resolution of optical imaging systems while operating under adverse conditions of weather. In this thesis, I investigate and characterize the unique advantages as well as performance limitations of such radar systems working around 240 GHz in typical outdoor environments. The research has three main directions, which are: 1) developing novel scattering models that can accurately describe the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic wave in sparse random media like snow, rain, or dust at 240 GHz, 2) dielectric and radar cross-section measurement of different synthetic and artificial targets found in typical radar environments, and 3) developing and fabricating novel phase shifter with minimal insertion loss in support of sub-THz electronic beam steering antennas.

As Daughters of the King Most High
After picking up my teen daughter from a Christian camp, we got to hear all about the week's adventures. In one such adventure, one of the girl campers wrote a mean spirited note intending to hurt another girl camper, and posted the note on the door of the girl's room, for all to see on Wednesday, the next morning.
In reaction to this, my daughter and her roommates decided to return a hateful act with a loving act. Since they didn't know who wrote the mean spirited note, they went to work writing loving notes to all the female campers, posting them on the doors of all the rooms. After getting permission from their leaders, they stayed up until 1:30 A.M. hand writing these precious notes and posting them on all the doors. Each note included a bible verse, and was about half a page long. Ephesians 4:2-3 was in their hearts as they truly were "bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Not the Work of my Daughter
Many of these loving notes specifically reminded the camper that, as a daughter of the Most High King, she was a princess, dearly loved. But this was not the work of my daughter and her roommates. Though she is very sweet and kind hearted, all she did was listen and obey, for this good deed was sprung from the Spirit of Christ at work within them.
To back up that statement, please note I was on my knees daily for my daughter while away at camp. And I believe it was on Wednesday when I prayed very specifically, and very fervently, that she would find her identity in Christ, asking God to show her in a personal way that, as a daughter of the King of kings, SHE is a princess, dearly loved by her Heavenly Father.
1 Little Prayer + Jesus = Uncountable Blessings
What joy I had when I heard how He creatively answered that prayer. And I prayed only for my daughter, however, as Christ multiplied the little boy's simple offering of loaves and fishes, He decided to multiply that simple prayer to include ALL of the girls at camp that week. Isn't He wonderful? "God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen." 1 Tim 6:15-16

7 Reminders when Faced with Rejection
By: Zac Leonard Rejection sucks, it just does. You pour over ideas, plans, and work your heart into being part of a school or position, only to come up short. Having just been hit with rejection I know this feeling well. For some, me included, there is pain that comes with being rejected. I have thoughts that sometimes haunt me if I don't remind myself of the truth. For me, not being chosen for a position leaves me feeling like there was something more I could have done, or done differently. I tend to over think everything, and when I get into a downward spiral of negativity here's how I get out.
1.Who are you?
For me this question is essential because I need to re-center. What was I looking for in this new endeavor? Why was I drawn to it? What does it mean now that I know I'm not the right fit for it? I have to start at my core, what do I know about myself? I know that I am a loving person! At my core I want to communicate compassion to all those I interact with. What is at your core? When faced with rejection remember that although you weren't what the organization or person wanted it doesn't mean that who you are at your core isn't the same.
2. How am I perceived?
After the blow of rejection hits its easy to become bitter. That bitterness, if not tamed and ultimately removed, will most likely damage future endeavors you seek. As the saying goes, "Perception is Reality", and when you face rejection all eyes are on you. For me I long to be known for my friendship. I long to be a loyal person, and help those that I work with become better. If I allow that bitterness to control my thoughts and actions I won't be acting out of friendship towards those I work with I'll be acting out of self preservation. Success is not what you achieve, but how many you bring along with you.
3. How is my family doing?
So often we move towards an opportunity with a passion that pushes all other things out of the way. When faced with rejection after that pursuit your family can feel left out, and bitter for being placed in the back seat. How are you pursuing your wife or husband? How are you showing love to your children? I guarantee that no matter how much you need that new position, promotion, or friendship your family will love you the same with or without it. Sure having more money helps keep the family machine running, but its not what powers that machine. I like to remind myself that I want to be a loving husband, and father. That my professional goals need to be secondary to my family goals. I've seen many families destroyed because professional goals were made the priority.
4. Why do you DO what you do?
I know the wording of this question is somewhat confusion, but its exactly how I worded it in my head so I wanted to keep it the same. I love seeing students and teachers awaken their passion for learning. I love seeing a teacher try a new piece of technology and realize that this item will make their lives not only easier, but more effective. I am a great educator, I don't say that from a place of arrogance, or do I try to back it up by test scores. I know that because I have a passion in my heart that burns to see the development of life long learners. That passion has driven me to improve my practice through reading, connecting with other educators, and blogging.
5. How are you a leader of others?
We are all leaders, we tell our students that all the time. Are we going to lead towards a place of positivity, or a place of negativity? Are we going to lead by complaining, or lead by encouraging? I know I am a leader. Over the past few years I have taken hold of the opportunity I've been given to use digital curriculum. I've shared with teachers from across the country, not because I am some guru who knows more than anyone else, but because I've taken advantage of the opportunity I've been given to share. Leadership isn't about a position you earn, but about how you share your experiences through relationships you've built. We can't allow the frustration and pain of rejection to reroute how we lead.
6. How are you moving forward?
The greatest temptation when faced with rejection is to bury your head in the sand and give up. To believe the lies in your head, "you're not good enough", "you'll never make it", "you failed your family". When facing those thoughts we have to remember who we are outside of the rejection. Being rejected doesn't change who I am, and it will only change us if we allow it. I am committed to making a difference in the lives of those I serve, whether that be students in the classroom, parents at an event, or the administration who leads my school. I know it's not easy, as I'm writing this I'm wrestling with this very question, but we have to keep moving forward, learning from our experiences and using the knowledge to get better.
7. Do not allow your story to be about the mistakes you've made!
We've all made mistakes, and when facing rejection there is a chance that a mistake played into the decision to go in a different direction. That mistake does not have to define you. It needs to drive how you learn and grow moving forward, to ensure you avoid similar mistakes in the future. You are the only one who can keep that mistake in your story, free yourself from the guilt, the shame, the anxiety that can sometimes suffocate us. It's ok to fail, its ok to make mistakes. Pick yourself up and join your PLN as we all move forward together.
Rejection sucks! It hurts, and at times it can be debilitating, but know that through all the pain, the struggle, and rejection we here at EdTechAfterDark are here for you. We want to be the part of your PLN that you can count on, to remind you of all the ways you're amazing!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Athens, GA – Inside/Out, the documentary and accompanying soundtrack that captured a brief-but-fruitful moment in the legendary music community's history. Nostalgic to many marking middle age, the performances and participating performers, with a notable exception or two, may be lost on younger audiences. Here's a primer:
The Squalls – A bit older than its Inside/Out contemporaries, the Squalls incorporated true folk sounds and instrumentation into quirky power pop arrangements. The band long ago called its quits, but some of the songs, such as the fan favorite Elephant Radio, found new life in founder Bob Hay's kid-focused project Noogeez.
Flat Duo Jets – Before the White Stripes and Black Keys, there were Flat Duo Jets. While this North Carolina act only called Athens home briefly, the guitar-and-drums duo made an indelible and lasting impression with its unhinged rockabilly blues.
R.E.M. – Inside/Out marks an interesting moment for the most famous sons of Athens. While certainly the most recognizable act in the movie and on the soundtrack, the band, yet to become arena rock staples, still faced a future far from certain.
That didn't last long.
Love Tractor – A true Athens favorite, Love Tractor was the band R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills almost defected from R.E.M. to join. Unique in that it was almost exclusively an instrumental group, the band garnered a small legion of faithful fans based on the strength of its live performances and unique rock arrangements.
Kilkenny Cats – While Athens was building a reputation for producing acts that went jingle jangle, the Cats opted to embrace the power chord instead. The band's engaging big hook rock made the band a loud local favorite.
Time Toy – Oddball, but infinitely danceable, arrangements, spoken word-style vocals and a paucity of recorded material meant Time Toy never had the kind of commericial success enjoyed by some of its Inside/Out brethren. That said, no band represented the art-for-its-own-sake ethos of Athens as fully as this local favorite.
Pylon – Although Pylon had officially disbanded – for the first of three times – prior to the Inside/Out experience, it was still very much a part of the Athens DNA. Cited as an influence by bands big and small, Pylon's combination of dubby basslines, rock energy and art school originality provided a template for many of the Athens acts that followed.
Dreams So Real – Heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the '60s and the Paisley Underground movement, Dreams So Real took a more studies approach to rock music. The result was a band that not only found some fame as a live act, but also became one of Athens's more comfortable studio acts.
Bar-B-Que Killers – While most music fans looked north to Minnesota or toward urban areas such as Los Angeles and New York for its punk rock, Athens was well-represented by the incendiary Bar-B-Que Killers. A band both shocking and engaging, the band's infamous live shows were equal parts party and call-to-arms.

The human brain and dreams have been one of the more enduring mysteries of life. As much progress that science and medicine make each year, they're still no closer to determining why we dream or how the brain "sees" our dreams. They only know that we dream, and that our brain translates them into moving pictures. But is it merely entertaining itself while we sleep, or is there something more?
Renowned specialists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung interpreted dream states differently. Freud argued that the function of dreaming was to preserve sleep by expressing unfulfilled desires or wishes in the unconscious state, and to do so in the secrecy of nighttime. Jung took the idea much further in his research and decided that dreams reveal more than they conceal and that they are a natural expression of our imagination and use the most straightforward language at our disposal: mythic narratives. Because Jung rejected Freud's theory of dream interpretation, he also didn't believe that dream formation was a product of discharging our sexual taboos.
Jung further suggested that the archetypal images he was so fond of that came through in dreams might be derived from different bodily organs and thought centers in the body, and represented evolutionary drives.
Jung's determinations have fueled the careers of many a dream interpreter, whose goal it is to decipher our personal dreams to find out what they might be telling us. Using such mythical imagery, are we better able to understand the nature of dreams and why we might "need" them in order to be happy and healthy?
Since that era, we humans have performed a lot of invasive research and sleep studies to try and determine once and for all the mystery of dreams and why we need them.
In 1953, American sleep research specialist Eugene Aserinsky stumbled across the rapid eye movement phase of sleep quite by accident. He had been conducting an overnight sleep study by recording his 8-year-old son. From his findings he wrote about the "rapid, jerky and binocularly symmetrical" (REM) eye movements his son exhibited. These eye movements were likewise associated with increased brain activity. Aserinsky was the first to determine that sleep wasn't just a passive phenomenon. During REM sleep, the brain is active and behaves as if it's awake and active. However, it appeared that in most cases, muscle activity is suppressed so that we can't physically carry out our dreams. Yet even that theory has since been disproven.
A recent study in patients with REM behavior disorder (where they physically act out their dreams due to a lack of muscle paralysis), found a strong association between goal-oriented limb and head action and eye gaze direction in REM sleep. Still, the reasoning behind REM sleep and the dream state continued to remain a mystery. Coincidentally, investigators from Tel Aviv University who studied the brain of epileptic patients from within the brain itself, and not just through surface measurements on the scalp, determined that REM sleep are linked to visual processing rather than physical activation or movement. Electrodes are placed in the medial temporal lobe, the region of the brain associated with visual awareness.
Can dream study determine why some people can foretell future events or provide answers to past mysteries?
In conjunction with early theories about why we dream and what they might mean, it was determined that processing nocturnal content that was consciously or unconsciously avoided during waking hours somehow needed to be dealt with during sleep to maintain our psychological well-being. In other words, the brain strives to keep itself healthy through dreams. Though there are conflicting theories to this effect, we continue to research and study this rather perplexing phenomenon.
Are eye movements the byproduct of the visual processing that occurs when we dream? Is there a proven psychological reason why we need to process these images, and does it lend itself to better understanding our brains?
These questions drive ongoing research and sleep study by specialists and scientists eager to determine the truth. They hope to discover what benefits REM sleep and dreams provide us both while we sleep and while we're awake, and whether the two theories are connected.
Can dream study determine why some people can foretell future events or provide answers to past mysteries?
Precognitive and prophetic dreams appear to have no logic, or at least none that we've been able to detect. Not everybody has these types of dreams, so despite what skeptics may say, many people have experienced precognitive and prophetic dreams and believe that they are able to foretell the future.
Here's an example of what many people would deem as precognition, but is actually quite simply explained. Mary has a dream that she is pregnant and three weeks later discovers that she is pregnant in real life. This is not really a psychic dream because Mary had access to plenty of unconscious insight: her body gave her subtle signals, and she knew she had been trying to conceive.
We all have intuitive dreams like this. They express our innermost hopes and fears based on unconscious information that we may or may not be repressing. There is nothing paranormal about Mary's dream and would be a good example of the Unconscious Intuition Principle, a means of knowing things without deduction or obvious reasoning.
Indeed, to be deemed a truly precognitive dream with paranormal roots, we need to access unpredictable information about the future. And that is one reason why precognitive dreams are difficult to prove.
When the Titanic sunk in 1912, hundreds of people came forward with reports of psychic dreams about the demise of the great ship. Amazingly, it was possible to validate at least 19 of them, including one date-stamped letter.
Does this prove that psychic dreams are real? In the minds of some, it does. Skeptics, of course, offer a different perspective, that it's only a matter of statistics before someone dreams about a future event that proves to be true.
In 1865, two weeks before he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln was said to have had a precognitive dream about a funeral at the White House. In the dream, he reportedly asked someone, "Who is in the casket?" and was told, "The president of the United States." He told his wife of the dream, but neither took it seriously for on the night of the shooting, he'd given his bodyguard the night off.
The American humorist, Mark Twain, and his brother Henry once worked on riverboats on the Mississippi. One night Mark had a dream about his brother's corpse lying in a metal coffin in his sister's living room. It rested on two chairs, with a bouquet and a single crimson flower in the center. He told his sister about his dream.
Weeks later, his brother was killed in a massive explosion on a riverboat. Many others died and were buried in wooden coffins. But one onlooker felt such pity for young Henry that she raised the money for an expensive metal coffin. At the funeral, Twain saw the coffin as it was in his dream. As he stood over Henry's casket, a woman placed a bouquet with a single red rose in the middle on top of the casket.
Taken at face value, these are both compelling cases of precognitive dreaming. They are image-driven, much like the imagery mediums claim to receive when communing with the dead. Still, their interpretation is highly subjective and don't necessarily prove beyond a doubt that precognitive dreams exist.
If nothing else, we can perhaps gain future insight from our dreams by taking advantage of the unconscious intuition principle mentioned earlier. If Mary had an unconscious inkling that she was pregnant, it would be quite easy to ask her lucid dreaming self whether this was the case. Other lucid dreamers, while talking to their unconscious self, ask for personal insights that would otherwise go under the conscious radar. It's a great way to explore your unconscious mind.
Unfortunately, such events only seem to deepen the mystery, though with each passing year, we get closer to finding answers.

Step 1
Buyer Application
After reviewing all the available information on our website and you feel ready to move forward with placing a pre-order to get on your desired breed list for a puppy. Complete a Buyer Application so that your home can be approved.
Step 2
Confirm Information
After we have received your application and finished reviewing it, you will get a call or email from our office. At this point, we will want to take the time to confirm all the information on your application and for you to ask as many questions before moving forward.
Step 3
On Pre-Order list
After approving your Buyers Application, you will receive an email or phone call to confirm you are ready to move forward. You are sent a contract via email to complete. Your name is placed on the pre-order list and generally, can pick out a puppy within 3 to 12 months.
Step 4
Puppies Are Here
You are notified when the dam whelps and when puppies are available for selection.Th Puppy Selection process starts when puppies turn 14 days old. Each person on the pre-order list is contacted accordingly and will have 48 hours to make their selection of their pre-order comes up.
Step 5
Puppy Time
During the Puppy Selection Event, you will pick out your new puppy from several photos/videos. After you select a puppy, you will get photos every other week to track your puppy's progress. If you don't see a puppy you like, no worries, you will be moved to the next litter.
Step 6
Puppies are typically able to leave the kennel between 8-12 weeks old usually. At the time of delivery/pickup puppies will have already been given all vaccinations, deworming, spay/neutered, and issued a health certificate by a vet. After a long wait customers can now enjoy their healthy puppy.
Process Breakdown
A bitch goes into heat every 6-8 months. That heat cycle can last 7-24 days depending on when ovulation begins. Once a dog is artificially inseminated; the gestational period last 63-68 days until puppies have arrived. Puppies can leave the kennel between 8-12 weeks of age typically.The time frame is depending on three factors ( puppy readiness, kennel approval, and vet approval). This process does seem long but it is mother nature and cannot be rushed for any reason. A kennel is not designed to merely put out puppies back to back like an assembly line, so it is important to remember that life takes time as we want only healthy strong puppies. The typical wait time for a pre-order to be completed is typically 3-12 months which includes the breeding process from start to finish. Clients should check with the kennel pre-order updates page to confirm expected whelping dates. A due date does not guarantee a viable pregnancy. However, pregnancy test and ultrasound examinations are done to give a more accurate diagnosis of a pregnancy and its' viability. The kennel cannot control mother nature factors of any pregnancy. That is why all pre-orders and post whelp purchases are protected by a pre-order contract so that customers do not lose their money if breeding is unsuccessful for any number of reasons. Buyers are automatically moved to the next available litter if there are not enough puppies produced or breeding was not successful. If a puppy has not been offered to the client within a particular time frame(indicated on each contract), the client will be able to receive a full refund per contract terms.The kennel does aid in making sure that the breeding stock is healthy before and after breeding and all females are given prenatal & breeding vitamins/supplements before, during and after whelping. The kennel also has its equipment such as an x-ray, ultrasound, and ovulation machine to increase the likelihood of a successful and healthy breeding program.

My love of thrift shopping started in high school and has, if anything, only gotten stronger over the years. I've made a lot of mistakes over the years–buying overpriced items, convincing myself that I'll get a dress altered, etc–but I've learned from them and now I sort of feel like a thrift shop demi-god.
Yes. I have the power of finding fly clothes for a bargain. If that's now a super power then I don't know what is.
For all of you fellow thrift obsessed people out there, I'm pretty sure you can relate to these 10 things. Yeah, some are a little embarrassing but hey…it's time for all of us to come clean.
1) You're very aware of the fact that some of your finds make you look like a grandma.
Whatever, grandma looks forever.
2) You see overpriced thrift crap on Etsy and you're all…
These schemes. These lies. Why is this marathon t-shirt from 1997 $35? Also, fun story: I once bought a sequin jacket at a random junk shop for $10. A few weeks later I found the exact same jacket on Etsy for $45! I just…
3) But you still browse it anyway
You might find, like, two things that won't break the bank. Might.
4) And you find out that that oh so rare shirt ain't so rare because there are a billion people selling it on eBay for a fraction of the price.
The power of Google is strong.
5) You convince yourself that you're going to alter that amazing dress even though you know you'll probably never do it.
It's a nice thought, okay?
6) You're used to inviting your friends along with you even though they don't understand why they don't enjoy spending hours sifting through old, smelly, used clothes.
Just say no to my invite instead of making me babysit you!
7) When you find something amazing but see that there's a stain on it.
My favorite game to play is Guess That Stain: Blood or chocolate?
8) But then you happen to find something designer for a super cheap price.
Yas. Yas.
9) You realize that you reek of thrift shop smell when you first wear your new finds. But you don't really care.
A mix of grandpa, mothballs and a dank, musty basement. Mmmm, arousing.
10) Sure, you could get it dry cleaned ahead of time but who the hell has the patience when you wanna look real fly real quick?
Not you.
And it goes without saying that this is your reaction whenever you talk about thrifting and someone mentions that Macklemore song:
Just let me live! That joke is played out anyway.
What's your thrifting weakness? Have you ever instantly regretted a purchase? Tell us in the comments!

As an applicant, students are urged to find a school that is most in line with their personality. Even introverted, or uncomfortable, students have to spill their most personal stories to strangers in the series of required short essays. All of this, for what? The "holistic" measure by which schools judge applicants. In exchange for your candor ('here are my parents' tax returns, my transcript, an essay about my deepest secret, and some letters from my teachers about what I'm really like'), many colleges promise to evaluate you as a human being. Consider what's being promised.
There are two serious problems with this portrayal of college admissions. The first is that it is dishonest—and arrogant in the extreme—for admissions offices to claim that they are entitled to pass judgment on the character of each of the tens of thousands of 17- and 18-year-olds whose applications they read each year. These admissions officers have at their disposal a transcript, test scores, a list of extracurricular activities and a few personal essays. On the basis of this information, colleges can make some inferences about an applicant's academic ability. They cannot possibly rate the quality of applicants' personalities, or their ambition. Second, it is unhealthy for anxious high school students applying to college to be under the impression that they are facing a type of comprehensive judgment—not just of their academic and extracurricular performance but of their quality as human beings and their value to their communities. Students who are accepted are effectively told that they are not only academically superior, but morally superior, to the applicants who were rejected. And students who don't get in may feel they were rejected because of some personal deficiency.
From colleges' perspective, "holistic" is just shorthand for, we make the decisions we make, and don't have to spell out each one. It's a way for schools to discreetly take various sensitive factors—"overrepresented" minorities, or students whose families might donate a gym—into account. Of course admissions committees don't know each applicant personally. But they've settled on this language, I suspect, because it's a succinct way to express the truth, which is that the process is subjective but not arbitrary.
As an Asian American applicant, I am invisible. It doesn't matter whether I have a 1600 SAT or a 4.5 GPA, when they see my Asian name, or my race checked off as "Asian," I am automatically sorted into the bottomless drawer of "oh-god-another-Asian-what'll-we-do-with-all-of-them." They don't see (or care) that I swim 6 days a week, do research in a lab on weekends, or that I like painting and singing and reading books. They don't read the essays I agonized over, the essays that made my mom cry reading them because they described the struggles we've faced upon immigrating to America. They glance- sparingly- at my portfolio, 15 carefully chosen pieces to represent who I am. Because don't they want to see my "personality?" Affirmative action is designed to help underprivileged minorities, but Asians are time and time again conveniently exempt. "Diversity!" I offer as much diversity as a grain of rice. If it were up to me, I would've been any of the diversities: Navajo, Pacific Islander, African American, anything. Senator Elizabeth Warren, I salute you and your 1/32 Cherokee heritage.
When I was applying to colleges, my mother urged me to refrain from answering the race question, even though my name suggested affiliation. It's sad that this is what elite-college admissions have come to: a soul-deadening process that encourages students to distort their identities solely for the sake of getting in. But the rampant racism to which these pointers allude, if real, is even sadder. Brilliant, accomplished, and well-rounded Asian students are consigned to gaming a system that's rigged against them. Either that, or they have to prove themselves extra brilliant, extra accomplished, and extra well-rounded to ensure they're on equal footing with non-Asian applicants. The premise is that affirmative action enables colleges and universities to discriminate against Asian applicants simply because there are so many of them on campus already.
In using holistic admissions, colleges are trying to build a class of students with varied interests and backgrounds, which can mean quotas for the number of admitted people who want to go into engineering, for example, or the number who come from California. This practice amounts to a dangerous, underhanded form of "social engineering." In fact, holistic admissions were actually the brainchild of the then-Harvard president A. Lawrence Lowell as a means of reducing the number of Jewish people on campus in the early 1900s.
Some people say the holistic admissions policy effectively means fewer Asians on campus—because, say, they generally pursue fields like engineering and computer science and physics at higher rates than other students— but this is a stereotypical assumption. Quite frankly, I just don't believe that the 15,000 Asians applying to Harvard every year are all little computer geeks who have nothing going for them except their numbers. Why, then, should a perfectly eligible Asian student be denied admission to a top school just because s/he expresses interest in a particularly popular major? Americans wonder why education is declining and why our country is dying- well, because Asians, again and again, are essentially being penalized for hard work.

Watch: Fendi's SS18 Menswear Film, Exclusive To 10
Feast your eyes on the below film. It's the Fendi's Spring 2018 menswear campaign and exclusive to 10, as well as a real life representation of the day-to-day daydreamings of several members of this office, namely, arriving bare-foot at work, dislodging grains of sand from one's keyboard, and answering the phone with sunglasses on – all of which sound fairly unappealing by themselves, but throw in a beach on a sunny Italian coast and we're putty in your hands. That is the life of our Fendi business man, who compensates for his lack of years with an abundance of panache and a certain Fendi flamboyance. When he's not actually asleep on his desk, or perching his feet on top of it, he's closing deals on his Amstrad, hangin' by the pool and treating himself to a refreshing H2O beverage from the water cooler. He's an international business man who never stands still, dealing with each problem as it comes with a level of swagger afforded to him by his Fendi garb. We salute you, sir.

A LIE OF THE MIND by Sam Shepard
directed by Brandon Walker
What drives us hurt the people we love? And what stories do we tell ourselves to make it okay? In Shepard's darkly-comedic masterpiece, two estranged families are linked by a marriage both would rather forget - until a violent dispute forces them back together. Part myth, part life, part love story, this is a tale about growing up in the shadow of the American dream, about how our past generations shape our present lives, and about breaking out of the molds we inherit to find our way home. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play in 1986, A Lie of the Mind probes the complex workings of the human heart and our ability to reconcile reality with illusion.

Batch-replacing every "_html" with ".html" in file names and > content seems to be very complicated within this scenario. Going from dreamweaver to Zope, if you are working on unix, batch replacing is EASY, a single find command to change the file names and a simple sed script (or python or perl) to change hrefs. You will need to write such a script anyway, if your servers are Unix or Linux and your Dreamweavers are Windows. You will find that your windows people mix filename case randomly and expect it to work; you will have to canonify all hrefs to a single case convention. If going from zope to dreamweaver, either write the corresponding _ to . scripts and batch it, or write a checkout external script that does it for you. I have not thought about this latter option very much, but the export facility should give you an example of how to do this. I doubt if it is much more than a day's reading and two days coding (and this is being damn generous, as I suspect that this is a ten line script). You still have given no cogent reason for using Zope. If you have only, or predominatly static content, you are paying a huge overhead penalty. If you have mixed static content and dynamic content, use apache and ProxyPass to front-end the dynamic content, and apache to serve the static content. Then you have no conversion worries at all on the static content.

The herbal ingredients in Rumalaya Gel are very effective as it bears anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect which is proven to be effective in the treatment of Joint pain and back pain. It also useful to get rid of Arthritis of any sort, gives relief from Spondylosis and Gout. Himalaya Rumalaya herbal Gel from Himalaya Herbals is a proprietary herbal Ayurvedic formulation useful in for quick topical pain relief, joint mobility and analgesic action. In recent breaking news, conservative radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, was taken to a Hawaiian hospital. He was reportedly in serious condition suffering from chest pains which some suspect may be from a heart attack.
Chronic back pain is measured by duration '" pain that persists for more than 3 months is considered chronic. It is often progressive and the cause can be difficult to determine. By this time you should be seeking medical advice to address the problem. Conditions may include arthritis, disc disease, osteoporosis, or congenital abnormalities of the spine Take it Easy – Initially it's best to rest in a comfortable position. Try lying flat on a firm surface with a cushion underneath your knees, or on your side with the pillow between your knees.
Depending on your condition, heat and ice can often be used together to combine their unique benefits in an ideal treatment solution. For example, if you suffer from chronic neck pain and stiffness you can apply heat to the area before engaging in exercise or activity. Heat increases range of motion and flexibility of the cervical spine to better prepare it for the activity to come. After exercise or activity you would then apply ice to the neck to limit pain and inflammation. Prevention is always the best approach, always be very conscious of your posture especially when you are sitting and standing plays a key role.
People who surf the internet for long periods of time are more at risk of developing lower back pain as well as neck pain and muscle spasm due to bad posture. It is common to lose track of time while sitting in front of the computer screen and people easily settle in the hunched stance whereby they slouch or lean towards their screen with no support for the back. The spine develops a bend due to prolonged periods of time in this stance and the stress exerted on the lower back leads to back pain and fatigue in the muscles due to inactivity.
If you are using a branded product or equipment, see if the manufacturers have a list of therapists and salons that provide their products or treatment and make sure you are on it. Also, most of the beauty trade associations have websites that list their members. Ensure you have submitted your details as they are often mentioned in the national press. Boswellia is another natural remedy to lessen pain and inflammation without irritating the stomach. The cause of boswellia will be the gum of the tree in India. Boswellia is as well effective in getting rid of ulcerative colitis.
Back pain can be a minor ache caused by a weekend of throwing a baseball with your kids or it can be serious requiring MRIS, physical therapy, drugs and even surgery. Most people when they experience back pain wonder if it's a muscle problem or nerve damage. Let's look at the difference between muscle pain and nerve pain ? Of course if you wake up hurting the last thing on your mind is wondering whether the pain is caused by a muscle pull or nerve damage. However if you are like me and the pain persists you start worrying if it can be more than just a sore muscle.
Author of the book "Stretching" Bob Anderson writes that most back problems are caused by lack of abdominal strength, poor posture, inactivity and muscle tension and tightness. Back stretches can reduce back pain.Using an exercise ball as an office chair or for workouts can provide many benefits for your back. Exercise balls, also known as fitness balls, stability balls, ergonomic balls and Swiss balls, can promote good posture and core muscle strength, writes Mayo Clinic physician Edward Laskowski. Moving around on an exercise ball can help reduce back pain caused by prolonged sitting.
Tethered cord syndrome is a rare progressive disorder. It results from tissue attachments that limit spinal cord movement within the spinal column. An example is spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal cord has not separated from the skin of the back during fetal development. Other types of tethered spinal cord syndrome also occur. Degenerative cervical disc disease is a condition and not a disease. While it is small consolation to individuals suffering from the pain and debilitation of degenerative disc disease, the condition improves over time. Pain management, proper body mechanics, physical therapy and appropriate self-care measures make coping during recovery from degenerative cervical disc disease manageable.

It's not really a big shocker to say those serving in the military aren't big fans of Barack Obama, but when you see just how much our men and women in uniform despise their "Commander-In-Chief," it will simply blow your mind.
This is astounding, yet for some strange reason, very comforting.
From Weasel Zippers via Military Times:
… The long-term effects of Obama's social policies on the military remain unknown. But one thing is clear: He is a deeper unpopular commander in chief among the troops.
According to a Military Times survey of almost 2,300 active-duty service members, Obama's popularity — never high to begin with — has crumbled, falling from 35 percent in 2009 to just 15 percent this year, while his disapproval ratings have increased to 55 percent from 40 percent over that time.
So I guess completely disrespecting the military by attempting to cut their pay raises, not awarding them certain benefits they need to cover their medical bills, and preventing them from receiving adequate healthcare takes a negative toll on how they perceive leadership.
Who would've thought?
Obama has repeatedly slammed our armed forces and through his many lawless actions has proven he's not leadership material, nor does he possess qualities our troops can admire or look up to.
How can a man effectively lead the nation's military if those under him don't like him or trust him?
The simple answer is he can't, which is why our foreign policy is a joke and our response to threats to our freedom and safety continue to go largely unchecked.
Let's hope the next occupant of the Oval Office is someone who respects, reveres, and loves our military and can effectively perform the duties of their office to keep America safe.

History Club's Cardboard Wars Raises Money for Puerto Rico
WEST LIBERTY — The West Liberty University History Club will sponsor its first Cardboard Wars from noon-1 p.m. Wednesday in the gym located in Blatnik Hall. All students are invited to participate and can enter individually or in groups of three.
"Part of the intent behind the Cardboard Wars is to show that history is not just something that happened in the past tense, but more so, history is something that we are making right now. We are the active participants in our future which comes from our history," said Dr. Darrin Cox, associate professor of history.
The event was developed as a recycling project to raise awareness for sustainability and a fundraiser for the club to assist Puerto Rico relief.
"Students will combat each other in their own handcrafted armor and weapons made from cardboard," according to Cox, who is an expert in Viking history.
The fighters have to use cardboard weapons to destroy their opponents' armor, and the last person standing wins, he added.
"The object is to get the cardboard armor off the other person. After the battles take place, the cardboard will then be recycled."
Participants are encouraged to get creative when developing their gear.
"Build something that's probably going to be fastened not necessarily around your shoulders, but more around your waist. It will hold it up better," said senior Marshall Tallman, who is president of the History Club.
WLU has an active Campus Sustainability Committee and encourages students, employees and the entire community to recycle, get involved in environmental issues, and promote a healthy campus environment.
"The recycling efforts would be efforts to make our world a better place, so what we are trying to do is tap into the sustainability committees' efforts to increase recycling on campus," said Cox.
Cox specializes in late Medieval/early modern Europe, Vikings and gender. He also works with WLU volunteer students in his Viking Living History Project. The VLHP brings a hands-on historical reenactment experience to local schools, conferences and public venues.
"The idea to be able to come out, raise some awareness for a good cause, to have some fun, to mix it up with some people, and have a little competition, I'm really just looking forward to seeing students doing something to try and relieve their stress before finals," Cox added.

Uganda Gorilla Trek Day Twenty Two 2017
Posted on October 8, 2017
So, apparently last night there was a hippo walking through camp as I slept right next to our tents which I had no idea about! So funny! We were up bright and early at 5:30am again today since we had to catch the early ferry to do the game drive so that we were more likely to see the nocturnal animals like lions.
We crossed on the first ferry which was super lucky for us as it meant among five other buses we would be the first into the park that day.
The roof of our van opened up so we could see out and of course it began to rain. Hilariously some people mentioned that it reminded them of the rainforest district in Zootopia which made me laugh a lot.
As we entered the park we were greeted by thousands of antelope and buffalo and multiple birds. We even saw some Maribou Storks which are really common in Uganda and are quite ugly among being dirty and vicious. We saw the national bird, the Crested Crane too.
As we went along the trail we saw three lionesses really far in the distance. There were loads of giraffes right in front of our van which was super cool. During our break we went to the pond where the hippos lay which was awesome. They seemed fairly mellow in their little swamp.
We girls needed the toilet shortly after and were forced to go in a bush in the middle of the savannah. Some American woman called Pam was taking photos of her and all her friends and I had to hilariously waddle naked to the side so that I wasn't caught up in said photo.
In total we drove about 3 hours and our driver even stopped at one point suspecting a leopard to be present but we couldn't see it, and then as we turned the corner we saw a fresh antelope kill with Marabou storks feasting on the leftovers.
As we finished the drive we came back through the park to the ferry and went back to our campsite. We did have a little look at the shop but the only t-shirt Iliked in there wasn't my size unfortuantely. When finished at the shop we got in the van and had to drive to Mosind; where we had lunch. I ordered a Sallie's Special pizza which had very hard dough but still filled a hole.
After food we went back to the van and drove to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Funnily, the school was called "Hakuna Matata" and there was a sign outside the sanctuary itself which said "Enter at your own risk". A bit of a juxtoposition methinks.
Dinner was a South African dish I can't pronounce but was still super good. When we went to the toilet there was a massive dung beetle on it's back that we had to save and then when I finished on the toilet I was attacked by dragonflys. Oh dear it was scary!
We saw a rhino on the way to camp today, I can't wait to see more tomorrow.

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked. If you have any other questions please contact the relevant member of the team.
The programme for all courses starts on the Saturday morning straight after breakfast and we aim to be finished by 4pm on Sunday. For arrival, the centre is open from 7pm on Friday night. Whilst there is no formal programme on the Friday night it's a good opportunity to meet the staff, the other candidates and discuss your requirements for the weekend!
No, our weekends are not combined training and assessment courses as a period of consolidation is required between training and assessment.
Sure, you'll need to complete a booking form for each participant. If you intend to combine several payments please contact the Course Secretary to let them know.
Yes, all our courses include breakfast, packed lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and packed lunch on Sunday. Indoor accommodation is also included in bunk rooms. You'll need to bring your own pillow and sleeping bag. Where possible we try to have single sex dorms but we cannot guarantee this.

Download our full Terms and Conditions
All of the staff and instructors at Yr Hafod are volunteer Scout Leaders and therefore we can't hire our instructors out for Scout or external groups booked into our hostel.
We recommend you check your local area for permit holders using the permit search feature of Compass
or search for a local instructor to hire through the Mountain Training Association, alternatively why not book on one of our Explorer Scout Weekends?
You can cancel up to 29 days before for a full refund. For 28 days of less your deposit will be retained unless a like for like booking is made by another group.
Download our full Terms and Conditions
The short answer is yes. However, whilst these mountains clearly fall within the definition of Terrain 2 they do not present any additional difficulties above and beyond a Terrain 1 skill set. At Yr Hafod your assessor will be more than happy to issue you a Terrain 2 permit that will enable you to climb specific Terrain 1-style mountains that just sneak into Terrain 2 subject to a successful Terrain 1 assessment. We won't issue this type of exception to mountains that are well into Terrain 2 and we won't issue blanket permits for all mountains up to 810m, for example. Exceptions must be specific. Please contact the Course Bookings Secretary or speak to your assessor if you have any queries.
Unfortunately not.
No, we will only issue leadership permits after a successful assessment. Supervision permits rely on a different set of skills that we cannot assess over a weekend. They also depend much more on personal suitability. We recommend you speak to your County Hillwalking Assessor.

Unfortunately not, the 0845 numbers redirect to our personal mobile phones but we've tried to keep things cheap and Our 0845 numbers are charged at local rate.
Our phone lines are staffed by volunteers so there aren't any. You may or may not get an answer at any time of the day!

What a weekend it has been for football, well I haven't had much luck as of yet, went to Huddersfield vs Bristol City yesterday when it's freezing cold and wet…lost 2-1 not fun! anyway the biggest talking point was obviously A.F.C Bournemouth beating Manchester United just less than a week after beating Chelsea! my god what has happened to Man United? It's embarrassing now because they look so far removed from what they once were…I dare say even David Moyes squad was more intimidating than this one!
Manchester City won, Manchester United lost…Arsenal win? I certainly hope so, a win would send us to the top of the table until tomorrow at the very least when Leicester play Chelsea! We've been here before…a chance to go 1st and Arsenal haven't taken it the last two attempts…3rd times the charm, maybe? We travel to Villa Park, a place we haven't lost at for quite some time so that has to be encouraging for Gunner fans!
Hopefully, we will not suffer any more injuries today! The last thing we need to be honest, our squad is depleted enough as it is and we all deep down, know that no one will come in January…if they do, it'll only be one player!
We won the last time we were there and as well, we beat a much stronger Villa side in the F.A Cup Final last season 4-0 but that doesn't guarantee us a win today if we don't turn up and take it seriously, Arsenal Win F.A Cup We can win today, we can go top, if only for a day but what would you take, Leicester beating Chelsea or Chelsea doing us a favor? I don't know to be honest which I'd rather have! A draw?
I will go for a 2-0 win for Arsenal today but I will be careful in saying that just because Aston Villa haven't been fantastic this season…so far that they won't cause us a problem…they are at home and they were able to hold Man City to a draw!
