Southeast Asia's economic juggernaut Singapore will hold a public consultation on a proposal to liberalise its patent law in a bid to cement its position as the intellectual property (IP) hub in the region. [Updated with speech and fact sheet] In a press release, Singapore's Ministry of Law said the tiny island state could excel in global patent work, hosting services such as drafting and filing of patents for different jurisdictions. "As mentioned by the Minister for Law during the recent Committee of Supply debate in Parliament on 6 March 2012, this is a window of opportunity to establish Singapore as an IP Hub to service the growth in demand for IP services, especially from the region," it said. The speech of Minister for Law, Mr. K Shanmugam, is available here. A fact sheet is available here. The consultation period runs from 16 March to 12 April. Under the proposed amendments to the law, Singapore will allow foreign-registered patent agents to undertake offshore patent agency work, even if they do not meet the local registration requirements such as completion of a graduate certificate in IP law, passing of four qualifying patent exams and an internship in a patent agency. The link to the press release is here. "Firms will be allowed to carry on a business of and undertake offshore patent agency work, as long as the firm has at least one partner or director who is a foreign-registered patent agent registered with IPOS [Intellectual Property Office of Singapore]," it added. The change is aimed for global IP companies with a client base in Asia. Currently, the number of Singapore-registered patent agents in practice stands at about 100. The ministry said patent filings in Singapore have increased by 20 per cent since 2001 to almost 10,000 in 2011. Further, the proposal seeks to allow individuals who met the local registration requirements for patent agents to also use the title of "patent attorney" to conform with the current set-up in several established jurisdictions such as Europe and Australia. Singapore is the only Southeast Asian signatory to the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), the multinational treaty that seeks to establish international standards for IP rights enforcement. It also is the site of the regional office of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

The other day, my brother and I were talking about fish sandwiches. (Weird opening sentence, I know.) He informed me that the café where he works serves a sandwich called the Son of Salmon, to which I replied, ". . . wait, what?!" I spent the next hour brainstorming sandwich names for my future food cart, Killer Sandwiches. The ToasTed Bundy. The Jarls Manson. (Should I be concerned by how much this amuses me?) Anyway, I tried to come up with a similarly-themed name for this sandwich, because "egg in the basket" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. And also because I need to counterbalance the lameness I've created by doing two Valentine's Day posts in a row. Alas, I've got nothing. (Only so much time can be spent pondering serial killer-themed names before it becomes undeniably disturbing.) So if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them! Until then, Egg in the Basket it is.
Traditionally, the way to make this is to assemble the sandwich, cut out the center, then crack an egg into the middle once you begin grilling. This leads to a somewhat indiscernible fried egg blob in the middle of the sandwich (and, if you're not careful, a broken egg yolk). My solution was to grill the sandwich on one side, then cut out the center, flip the sandwich, add the egg, and cook it sunny side up. This method, however, comes with its own set of problems. The main issue: too much egg white. For me, the excess white meant having to cook the egg for a long time, and resulted in a very burnt sandwich bottom. To solve this, I would suggest separating the white from the yolk, adding just enough to cover the surface area of the hole, then adding the yolk. This should yield a properly-cooked egg and an unburnt sandwich. Alternatively, if you use a cookie cutter to cut out the center, you could grill the sandwich normally, cut out the middle, then place the cookie cutter in the pan, crack the egg inside it, and place it in the center of the sandwich when it's finished. The egg won't be one with the sandwich, but it will save you from burnt sandwich/uncooked egg anxieties.
Valentine's Day Egg in the Basket
The ingredients are pretty self-explanatory and customizable, so I'm not going to bother listing them. I made mine with cheddar and fig jam, and you can throw in whatever you (or, more accurately, the lucky recipient) would like. I was definitely jonesing for some ham with this. You can't go wrong with ham, egg, and cheese!
Assemble your sandwich, then butter one side of the bread. Separate the egg white and yolk into two bowls. Place the sandwich, buttered-side-down, in a pan over medium heat and grill until golden brown, then remove.
Butter the uncooked side of the sandwich. Using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut out the center. Lower the heat slightly, then return both pieces of the sandwich to the pan, uncooked-side-down. Add just enough egg white to fill the bottom of the empty sandwich center, then carefully slip the egg yolk into the center.
Cover the pan (this will help the egg cook quicker and melt the cheese) and let everything cook for a couple minutes, checking regularly after one minute to make sure nothing is burning. Once the egg appears to be cooked, immediately remove the sandwich and serve!

Welcome to Lepidoptera Lovers! By Michele Babcock-Nice
Buckeye Butterfly, Georgia, USA, 2010
This blog is focused toward anyone who enjoys Lepidoptera – butterflies and moths! This blog is also associated with the LinkedIn group, "Lepidoptera Lovers." Therefore, Lepidoptera Lovers is for all those who enjoy communicating, sharing information, becoming more educated, increasing their appreciation, and networking about Lepidoptera! All Lepidoptera lovers are welcome.
There are entomology-related group(s) in LinkedIn (as of May 2012), though they are not specific to Lepidoptera – my area of love and interest in insects. There are also two other current and specific Lepidoptera-related and/or butterfly-related groups in LinkedIn (as of May 2012), though their activity is low.
"Lepidoptera Lovers" on WordPress aims at creating, encouraging, promoting, and providing educational, communicative, and interactive blog posts between people who love and/or enjoy butterflies and moths. Issues about eggs, caterpillars, chrysallises, and and pupae are also acceptable for posting, discussion, communication, and networking, as they relate to butterflies and moths.
I have been a collector of insects – mostly butterflies and moths – since I was about 7 or 8 years old. As I have gotten older, I have also become a Lepidoptera photographer. Photos posted in this "Lepidoptera Lovers" blog, therefore, are those that I took, except only where specifically referenced and identified with the source. Rather than capture butterflies and moths, physically, I now mostly capture them in photographs!
I am fascinated by the beauty and movement of these beautiful creatures – butterflies and moths. They bring so much beauty to our world. They are many of God's wondrous miracles, adding to the enjoyable beauty of our lives.
Thank you for your interest, and welcome to my blog!

Western Shield has been announced a joint winner of the 'Managing the environment' category at the Premier's Awards for Excellence in Public Sector Management.

The program has also led to the removal of the quenda and tammar wallaby from State threatened species list.
The award was shared with the City of Bayswater's Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary nutrient stripping wetland, a project also delivered jointly by the department. It was the third year in a row the department has won the category. The awards recognise and reward the most outstanding initiatives and achievements for the State's public sector throughout the year.

Indian beauty Freida Pinto's international career is shining post Slumdog Millionaire but she won't be seen in any Bollywood film anytime soon because she does not think she fits the bill.
"I have done no film in India so it is very hard for people to accept me as an actress. They don't really know who I am or they probably don't take me too seriously," Pinto told New York Times in an interview.
While offers from Hollywood started pouring in for her post 'Slumdog', the dusky beauty did not receive any direct offers from Mumbai.
"I haven't been directly approached to do a Bollywood film. After Slumdog Millionaire I was given scripts to read but was not directly approached. I don't think I fit the bill," said the actress.
Pinto, who will next be seen in Woody Allen's 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' and with 'Spider-Man' star James Franco on the sci-fi thriller 'The Rise Of Apes', feels that Hollywood has been more accepting than her home country.
"They definitely have accepted me much more willingly than in India. I am not famous in India. I don't get chased around," she said.

text: Folks I've spotted an opportunity at a blank check company that is too good to pass up. These blank check plays I think are becoming more the norm as LBO's have been so fierce and private equity on the march, this is a way to get involved in that kind of wealth creation as an investor. The Company is Endeavor. Endeavor Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: EDA - News): A "blank-check" company no more, last month, Endeavor agreed to purchase American Apparel Inc. for $244 million. Under the terms of the deal, EDA will pay American Apparel founder and CEO Dov Charney approximately 32.3 million shares of restricted stock, assume $100 million in debt, create a one-time merger bonus pool of $2.5 million, and reserve up to 2.7 million shares of additional common stock to be made available to American Apparel employees. Charney's stock will be locked up for at least three years, and he is expected to buy out an existing American Apparel investor for $60 million. He will also stay on with the company as CEO, and the deal is expected to close sometime this summer (and one would suspect that Endeavor will change its name at that time). On December 29th, SAC disclosed holdings of 1,751,550 shares of Endeavor, or an 8.7% stake. The firm's holdings include options for 200,000 shares, and it previously disclosed no holdings in Endeavor. SAC's filing lists December 19th as the triggering date for its filing, the day it surpassed the 5% ownership mark and the same day Endeavor announced the American Apparel acquisition. First off- love placing a bet with SAC! Secondly I am in retail and have a good respect for American Apparel- the quality of their product, the fact that most is made in the USA and the head of the company is a bit of a visionary and him staying on is a big plus. I believe you place a chip now and when the dust settles over the summer and the name of the company is changed to American Apparel we will be looking at a $20 stock- a double. I have tried these blank check plays twice before, the first time with JAMBA which didn't work out and the second time with NEXCEN which paid off nicely. Nexcen bought Athletes Foot with it's dough and then Bill Blass, nice pickups but honestly nothing like the potential of American Apparel. Jamba Juice, well they sell fattening juice & have huge stores that are mostly empty here in the city. I'm placing a BIG bet here on Endeavor.~ stoney

Hellena's father was surprised that we wanted to visit this area. He grew up here post Korean war and his family was very poor. He doesn't have good memories of growing up here when everyday life was a huge struggle. He told her he hasn't and would never visit this area. I think he would be very proud of where he grew up and what it is like today. It might heal some of those sad memories. Hellena had never visited this area so I hope that she would be able to share with her dad what his neighborhood is like now.

What a way to start the week. Monday gourmet! I was not feeling great yesterday, I think I did way too much over the past week and was paying for it. I needed some rest. I felt bad I did not make a great Sunday breakfast, so I made some French toast this morning to make up for the hum drum whole grain pancakes yesterday.
I had one whole long French bread left from the weekend, it was not sandwich worthy, but it sure was French toast worthy. I sliced it down into 1" thick pieces. I preheated my double burner skillet and coated it with a pat of coconut oil.
In a square casserole dish, I added 2 cups soy eggnog, cinnamon, and 4 tbsp. garbanzo bean flour as a binding agent. It is a great combination. It is perfect consistency for French toast. I soaked the bread, then cooked it on the griddle. I made a spot for my banana's on the griddle, added a pat of Earth Balance "Butter", I placed my banana, cut in half, right on the griddle. I cooked it a few minutes, then turned it until it began to caramelize. When bananas and toast were done, I plated them up and served them with a drizzle of agave and cinnamon on top. YUM!

Court frames gangrape charges against senior IAS officerAugust 7th, 2010 - 9:31 pm ICT by IANS
Chandigarh, Aug 7 (IANS) A local court here Saturday framed gangrape charges against Haryana's commissioner and secretary in fisheries department N.K. Jain in an eight-year-old rape case.
Jain, a 1978 batch Haryana-cadre Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, was Chandigarh home secretary at the time of the incident.
Charges of criminal conspiracy and putting a person in fear of accusation of offence to commit extortion were also framed against Jain in the court of additional district and sessions judge R.N. Bharti.
According to the police, Jain was booked in August 2002 for hatching a conspiracy to frame city-based industrialist M.K. Jain in a rape case.
One of N.K. Jain's accomplice, Surinder Kumar, was booked for rape while three others — Ram Lal, Narveer and Baldev Kumar — were booked for conspiring with him.
A 21-year-old girl, resident of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, was allegedly raped and thrown out of a car in an unconscious state in Sector 44 here Aug 14, 2000.
"The victim registered a complaint with the police, alleging that she was raped by M.K. Jain, resident of Sector 8 in Chandigarh, after being given some intoxicants in a cold drink," Subash Sagar, who was the investigation officer in the case and is currently doing law practice, told IANS.
"However, during our investigation, we found that M.K. Jain was innocent and he was falsely implicated in the case by N.K. Jain and four other accused," he said.
"Now we have provisions in our law that anyone conspiring in rape cases is liable to be slapped with charges of gangrape," he added.
The Chandigarh Police filed a chargesheet against the five accused in January 2003 but the charges could not be framed in the court because a number of writ applications were filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court by the accused, seeking quashing of the case.

Thoughts on Hindrances (actually a rant, as it turns out)
Let me just get to the point with this one: I think it's funny that the most annoying grunters on tour are not getting penalized while the innocent—namely Virginie Razzano—evidently are.
Okay, maybe funny is the wrong word, and maybe hindrance is the wrong word too. How about annoying? How about I can't hear myself think when your match is on the telly?
Can we just implement a new rule and stick it in the ITF/ WTA rulebook right along the hindrance rule that lends a little more clarity to the debate that never seems to die.
Wait...Is it even a debate? Is there anybody out there who thinks that Victoria Azarenka's (sorry for singling you out kid, but your name just seems to come to mind) tennis soundscape is even remotely okay? The fans hate it, the commentators hate it, her peers hate it—I mean what else do we need to know to realize that it's basically bad for the game and should be made to stop?
And yet, several years on—decades, really—the debate that shouldn't even be debated continues...
Well, because there is a lot of grey area in there. How do you penalize a player without a rule designed to penalize them? Can we just stop the match and have a vote? If you think Victoria Azarenka's yodeling is unsuitable for the modern game, vote to strip her of her ranking until she pipes down! And if she ever grunts again while knocking off a touch volley at net, she will be suspended for at least one year!
Ah, but it's not that simple, it really isn't. Truth is, as much as it is clearly in poor taste to grunt like many professional tennis players do, the inmates are clearly running the asylum here. You don't believe me? Look at the the WTA rankings. No. 1 and No. 2 could start a thrash-punk band with all the dissonant wailing they do while they play.
I could ramble on, but really what's the point? The wrong people are getting penalized for the wrong things, and the two most egregious grunters in the history of the world are ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
The only thing I can think of is this:
Let's let the fans decide. Give each fan a handful of tennis balls prior to each match that they attend. Tell them that if they find any players vocal stylings to be a "hindrance" that they are then free to toss said tennis balls at said player. Consider it justice prevailing in an otherwise unjust world.
In closing, I'd like to point out that tennis is a sport where decorum has always been a major part of its tradition. It's a sport where people say sorry for getting a point from a lucky let cord; it's a sport where fans are forced to be quiet during points; it's the safe haven of the sporting world, where bookworms, geeks, and those who appreciate how much a little silence can say congregate.
No flash cameras here; wait in the aisles until the changeover, please; Shhhhhh!!!! Quiet Please!!!!
All that is well and good, but how good is it when the players on the court are screaming such bloody murder that the paying customers can't even hear the strings pop?
I'll answer that for you: NOT VERY GOOD!
And yet, the debate that shouldn't even be debated lingers on. This is one of those things, like death and taxes, that we'll be destined to complain about and never, ever solve.

Welcome To Trinidad & Tobago (158 Division )
Hi to all browsing my 11m site ... My name is Leon and I am 4
yrs old , living in the island of Trinidad and Tobago.
My 11m callsign is KP 911 ( KILO PAPA Group ) , I am ex 158 AT 106 , since I haven't renewed my AT callsign for a while .
I have been into antenna designing and building for 20 + years , and still many more antenna
s to try out .
Take a look at my PICASA page
of my antenna projects -
You can see my roof top , it is the light green roof in the middle of the picture ( red roof of my neighbours house just to the north of mines ).
Just zoom out
on the map to see how close I am from the ocean . The " Gulf of Paria " which is the body of sea between Trinidad and Venezuela , is to the left ( west ) of my home .... On a clear day , I can see
Venezuela from my home .
Google Map
The purpose of this site is to show my antenna designs for the 11m band , and to help those that may want to build some 11m antennas !!
I started off in CB radio at the age of 16 and got into antenna building because of lack of money to buy an antenna .... Later on I started using software to design Yagi antennas ( YA Software ) and got really good at it .
I remember dxing all over Europe ( Cqing on 27.555 usb ) and telling guys that my antenna was my own design ...... Many were impressed with my signal, especially from a barefoot radio (Cobra 148 gtl - 10 watts into a 3 ele horizontal yagi).
I was then sent an email from a guy in Italy asking if I would like to display my designs on his webpage, so that other operators may try them out (OH WOW -- People building antennas that I designed)........ I then sent him designs for a 3ele, 4ele, 5ele and 6ele drawn up in "Paint Software" , which was put up on his website.
Eventually I received emails and guys on fequency , saying they built my antennas and were really happy with the performance.
I once helped a guy in Australia build an 8 element 11m yagi ( 60ft boom ).... I designed the antenna and emailed the info to him ..... As he ran into a couple of problems , I helped him via email until he got it up.... It ended up out performing his store built 8 element yagi .
The picture below is of my radio room , and as you can see , I am also a licensed Amateur Radio operator since 1997.

To satisfy my interest, I skipped watching the Philippines-Mexico Boxing World Cup last August 5 to attend a seminar on hydroponics by Engr. German Penaranda at Negsokwela. I didn't regret the decision especially when I learned that our fellow Bol-anon, Boom Boom Bautista, got a big "boom" in the first round.
Hydroponics, I learned, comes from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water, and "ponos" meaning work or labor. It is a technology for growing plants in nutrient solutions (or solutions made of water and fertilizers) either with or without the use of artificial solid medium like sand, gravel, rockwool, coconut peat, sawdust, among others.
The principal advantage of hydroponics include high-density maximum crop yield, crop production where no suitable soil exists, virtual indifference to ambient temperature and season, more efficient use of land area, and suitability for mechanization, disease and pest control.
On the other hand, the major disadvantages include isolation of crop from the soil causing problems related to diseases, pest, salinity, and poor structure, high cost of capital and energy inputs, and high degree of management skills required for successful production.
In fact, to do hydroponics at a commercial scale, you have to build a capital-intensive (meaning costly) setup and buy necessary equipment like pumps and measuring tools, among others.
However, I was also told that you can also do hyroponics at the constraints of your home as a hobby and use things like ice cream gallon containers and plastic cups. You can buy your plant seeds and nutrient solutions at Mother Earth/Negoskwela's hyrdroponics demonstration farm at
I really felt that we are seeing the beginnings of what can be considered urban farming in the

Pentax WG-3 GPS Review - The Pentax WG-3 GPS is waterproof to 14m, shock resistant to 2m and freeze resistant to -10°C. Daniel Bell reviews.
The Pentax WG-3 is a new outdoors camera, released in January 2013. The latest model is waterproof down to 14m and features a lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.0. The GPS model is available in purple and green for £325, the non-GPS version is available in orange and black for £290.
Pentax WG-3 GPS FeaturesThe Pentax WG-3 has a 16 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor as well as a 4x optical zoom lens, which is a 35mm equivalent of 25-100mm. It has a wide aperture f/2.0 lens at the wide-angle end to allow as much light as possible into the sensor, great for shooting underwater. To help reduce camera shake there is sensor shift SR (shake reduction).
Being a camera for the outdoors, it is waterproof to 14m, shock resistant to 2m, freezproof to –10°C and dustproof. There are six LED macro lights around the circumference of the lens barrel for macro shooting.
When shooting there is auto picture mode which automatically selects the best camera settings for the detected scene. There are a number of other scene modes such as HDR, digital microscope, time lapse and many more. When you've finished shooting you can edit your pictures in playback using a range of filters. There is a digital spirit level you help keep your pictures straight.
Videos are recorded in full 1080p HD at 30 fps. Optical zoom is available during recording and you can also record high-speed videos at 120fps. The WG-3 can be connected to a HDTV for playback via HDMI.
Key Features
- 16 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor
- 4x optical zoom f/2.0-4.9 lens (35mm equiv: 25-100mm)
- Sensor shift SR (Shake Reduction)
- 3 inch 16:9 wide 460k dot LCD screen
- Waterproof to 14m
- Shockproof to 2m
- Freezproof to –10°C
- Crushproof to 100Kgf
- Dustproof
- Six LED macro lights
- Built-in GPS
- Full 1080p HD video recording
- 1cm minimum focusing distance
Pentax WG-3 GPS HandlingThe Pentax WG-3 GPS is rubberised on the outside and has an unusual shape, all of which makes it easy to grip, even in cold, wet conditions. To reduce the chances of the battery / memory card slot being opened by mistake when underwater it has an open / close switch and another which acts as a lock.
A plastic ring is supplied with the camera which acts as a support for using the digital microscope mode. Also on the front of the camera is a small screen which displays the time, it looks very similar to a digital watch.
On top of the camera you'll find the on / off switch and the shutter release. On the back there are W and T buttons for adjusting the optical zoom, the lens is housed internally within the camera. Other buttons include movie record, playback, menu, green and a d-pad which is used for cycling through the menus and also gives access to the self-timer, flash, focus and shooting modes.
The screen is bright and clear and has a decent resolution at 460k dots. The menu system is well laid out and easy to use. Battery life is rated at a decent 260 shots according to CIPA test results, this will reduce quicker if you use the GPS frequently.
We took a number of shots to test the camera's responsiveness, from switch on to first photo, shot to shot, focusing speed etc. We take a number of shots and then use the average to ensure accurate and consistent tests, making it easy to compare with other cameras.

Pentax WG-3 GPS PerformanceAdditional sample photos and product shots are available in the Equipment Database, where you can add your own review, photos and product ratings.
Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS Sample Photos
Sample Photos - The WG-3 produces colourful images that are well exposed, with portraits having decent skin tones, free of red-eye. The images produced when shooting underwater are good. You can also shoot HDR images which Pentax have significantly improved from earlier compact cameras.
Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS Lens test images
Lens Performance - When shooting wide, detail is good in the centre of the images, but softer in the corners. When shooting with the full optical zoom, detail isn't as good and there is some purple fringing. With a minimum focusing distance of just 1cm it's possible to take decent macro shots.
Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS ISO test images
ISO Noise Performance - Noise is low at ISO 125 but at ISO 200, there are some issues with image quality. Images remain sharp but some colours have been affected. Noise only increases slightly at ISO 400, with images becoming a little soft at ISO 800. Images start to lose detail at ISO 1600, but remain sharp in most places, but images are very soft with large amounts of detail lost at ISO 3200. You can shoot at ISO 6400, but this is best avoided as image quality is poor at this level.
Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS White-balance test images
White Balance Performance - Under the incandescent lights the auto white balance (AWB) has a slight colour cast, with the incandescent preset taking a good picture. Under the fluorescent lights, the AWB performs well, a magenta cast is evident when using the fluorescent preset.
Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS Digital filters
Digital Filters - You can select from three image tones when shooting. When you have finished shooting you can enter playback to edit your pictures with a number of digital filters, with a number of examples above.
Video - Below is a video recorded in full 1080p HD. Quality is good, you can view an example using the optical zoom during recording on the ePHOTOzine Youtube page.
Value For MoneyThe Pentax WG-3 is available for £319.99. Recommended waterproof cameras include the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5, available for £353.99, the Nikon Coolpix AW100, available for £214.99 and the Canon Powershot D20, available for £255. For more waterproof cameras, have a look at the Top 10 Best Waterproof Cameras.
You'll also need to buy a memory card and a case or bag to keep your camera safe and protected - have a look at our complete guide to camera bags.
Pentax WG-3 GPS VerdictA lot of thought has gone into the design of the WG-3, it looks like an outdoors camera and it certainly acts like one. You can drop it, freeze it and even go down to 14m underwater, this is as deep as any other waterproof cameras will go. Unfortunately image quality isn't as good as we hoped, detail isn't great and we found the images suffered with noise from ISO 200 upwards, although the bright lens will mean you can stay away from the higher ISO settings, unless you're in really dark conditions. In that case you can use the LED macro lights to add further light to your scene. If you tend to shoot images to share on the web, then images quality will be good enough, particularly as colour reproduction is decent.

Pittsburgh Symphony festival a celebration of faiths
Much of classical music has spiritual dimensions, whether or not a given piece is religious in orientation. Yet, after the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra played for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in Rome in 2004, explicitly spiritual programming has become a regular feature of symphony seasons.
Two programs a year have been labeled as "music for the spirit," a tradition Manfred Honeck eagerly embraced when he became music director in 2008.
This week, two years after planning began, the Pittsburgh Symphony will present a Music for the Spirit Festival from April 20 to 28 at Heinz Hall, Downtown, and at venues stretching east from the Strip District to Oakland and Point Breeze.
The festival includes more than a dozen events of various kinds — mostly concerts, but also including book club discussions and a talk by Nando Parrado, part of the Robert Morris University Pittsburgh Speakers Series, about his miraculous 72-day survival in the Andes Mountains after a plane crash.
Festival events begin with Singing City, a concert featuring a 2,500-voice choir and the Pittsburgh Symphony, led by Honeck. Subsequent offerings include a recital by the world-class organist Paul Jacobs, an ambitious choral and orchestral concert by high-school and university students, a Jewish mystical opera and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, with the "Ode to Joy."
"I am not certain there are many places that would have undertaken something as inviting and historic," says Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who will offer the festival's inaugural address. Six other speakers will express multiple faith traditions.
"I say 'historic' because this grows out of a long-standing awareness that music has this wonderful power to bring us beyond the immediacy of the moment," says Wuerl, former bishop of the Pittsburgh diocese and now archbishop of Washington, D.C. "Music has the power to touch the spirit. Some of the most beautifully spiritually in-tune music has its root in religious faith, coming out of all the various faith traditions."
Honeck began planning the festival during a rare week off in Pittsburgh two years ago.
"I never have a week off," Honeck says. "I used it to do a lot of thinking about different things. I wanted to celebrate with the city, with the people of the city. As music for the spirit is in the nature of my interests, I thought this is something we could do something to connect more."
Honeck spent a whole day brainstorming with his assistant, Mary Persin, former violist of the Biava Quartet. They ended up with 20 pages of possibilities.
"All of these concerts are not just concerts, not that concerts really are just concerts," Persin says. "They will be similar to Manfred's presentation of Mozart's Requiem and Handel's 'Messiah,' works framed to make them more relevant with audiences."
Preparations for the Singing City concert began a year ago when dozens of regional choral directors came to Heinz Hall to hear about the plans and sign up their choruses. After the groups rehearsed separately, Robert Page and Christine Hestwood are preparing the aggregate ensemble.
"I absolutely love doing this," Page says. "In a way, it takes me back to when I was in high school in Abilene, Texas, leading the congregation, 300 or 400 people, in hymn singing in summer tent revival meetings. So, it comes naturally."
Page, 85, is retiring from the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University at the end of the current academic term. He's a legendary figure, the former music director of the Mendelssohn Choir, who had long associations with three of America's top orchestras, including the Pittsburgh Symphony.
"I've been impressed with the way the maestro takes the orchestra into the community," Page says. "Including choruses touches an area of society that a trained instrumentalist does not. ... There is a solidity of projecting text which touches the heart very much."
The Singing City program includes excerpts from Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, Gustav Mahler's "Resurrection Symphony" and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Requiem," as well as purely instrumental and nonreligious music by Aaron Copland and Beethoven.
The festival commissioned Jonny Priano to write "Sing as One" to embody the Singing City theme. Priano, 28, teaches music in the Wilmington Area School District in Lawrence County. The composer is a past member of the All-Star College Choir, which was created for Marvin Hamlisch's Pops concerts and prepared by Page.
Priano heard his a-capella piece for the first time on April 10, when Page rehearsed it at Heinz Hall. "I told my students the next day that it was like watching Michael Jordan throwing around your basketball," he says. "It was exactly what I hoped it would be."
The Celebrating the Next Generation concert on April 23 was one of Honeck's highest priorities in planning the festival. He remembers how important it was to him to play in youth orchestra and loves the enthusiasm and energy of young people.
Four conductors — Honeck, Page, Daniel Meyer and Jeffrey Turner — will lead a mixed program at Heinz Hall that includes Zoltan Kodaly's "Te Deum," the last movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 played by a 146-musician orchestra and the Hallelujah from Franz Schmidt's "The Book of the Seven Seals."
"I am thrilled we'll perform Kodaly's 'Te Deum,' a great work that I believe has never been presented in Pittsburgh," says Turner, head of orchestral studies at Duquesne and the symphony's principal bass.
"It's really a wonderful thing that Duquesne students will have a chance to play in such a great acoustical environment, and I'm grateful, not only to have the chance to perform at Heinz Hall, but to play a piece which so well fits Duquesne's institutional mission," he says.
The festival's operatic component, April 25 and 28, is "The Dybbuk: Between Two Worlds," composed by Ofer Ben-Amots. Its protagonist is a young woman, Leah, near death, whose former lover possesses her as a dybbuk — a deceased soul who takes possession of a living body.
The opera will be presented by the Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. In addition to the singers and a solo clarinet, performers will include Texture Ballet, the Pappert Women's Chorale, Children's Festival Chorus, piano trio and percussion. The production is directed by Aron Zelkowicz.
"This is more than a culmination. It goes several steps beyond anything we've done before, a fully theatrical multimedia production," says Zelkowicz, the Jewish music festival's founding artistic director.
"In order to direct an opera, you really need to know it inside out," he says. "I haven't gotten tired of listening to it. I really adore the music."
The festival will conclude with symphony subscription concerts, April 26 to 28, featuring Christopher Theofanidis' "Rainbow Body" and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Wuerl says that the festival would not have been possible without the leadership of Honeck and symphony board chairman Dick Simmons. Wuerl worked closely with Simmons on the symphony's concert at the Vatican.
"Pittsburgh is blessed to have Manfred Honeck," Wuerl says. "What a depth of musical ability and genius he brings to the Pittsburgh Symphony. And then to focus it on this great tradition (of spiritual music) has just raised it to a whole new level."

Anne of Green Gables Coming Soon
December 5, 2015
Filed under News, Upcoming Events
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
by Stephanie Petrovick
The drama society is performing the play version of Anne of Green Gables on December 5 and 6. This play follows the life of the book character Anne Shirley, an orphan who is adopted by mistake by siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who live on the farm named Green Gables. The play follows her crazy adventures as she becomes friends with Diana Barry, sparks a rivalry with her classmate Gilbert Blythe, and tries to accomplish her dreams as she grows older. The play definitely seems to be coming along well, with the cast practicing every day after school, and it should prove to be a very fun play to see.
According to the director, Rachel Shaw, "The most difficult thing has been memorizing lines, because this is a very wordy script…I think it will go fine; I have faith [in the play]".

Boat Insurance
Personal watercraft insurance protects your boat from damage due to an insured loss and it also protects you against liability due to injury or death. If you are financing your watercraft, the bank or financing will require you to carry insurance.
When looking at insurance for your boat, you have two options. You can add the boat to your existing home insurance policy, or you can purchase a stand alone boat insurance policy. There are a few things to consider before you make the decision to add your boat or to purchase a separate policy as follows:
- Insurance companies have limits as to the size, speed, and/or horsepower of the boats they are willing to insure under a home insurance policy so depending on these factors, you may not be able to add your boat on to your home policy.
- The basis of settlement on a home insurance policy for boats is usually actual cash value which is replacement cost less depreciation. A basis of settlement on a stand alone boat insurance policy is usually an agreed value.
- If you make a claim for your boat on your home insurance policy, it will count as a claim on the entire policy.
At St. Clair we know that all boats are not alike, and our experienced staff will work with you to tailor a watercraft policy to suit your needs

If you saw The Dark Knight Rises this weekend, then you probably saw this teaser for WB's Superman reboot, which isn't scheduled to be released until summer 2013; but teaser trailers a year in advance of release are common these days – especially for tentpoles like Man Of Steel.
This one is directed by Zack Snyder, with Henry Cavill starring as the title character; Christopher Nolan (whose Dark Knight trilogy has done very well for the WB) is acting as producer on Man Of Steel, and even though the teaser reveals little, I'd say we can already see some of his influence, considering how much darker and moody this looks and feels.
Even the Superman emblem looks rusty – all suggesting that we might be in for something contemplative and grim.
Of course, I'm sure there'll be plenty of action to complement.
The 2006 Superman Returns, helmed by Bryan Singer, didn't recieve quite the reception WB likely hoped for, grossing $200 million domestically, which would be excellent for the average Hollywood movie; but this was supposed to be box office dynamite, especially since the last time we'd seen Superman on the big screen was in 1987, 19 years prior.
Toss in the fact that Superman Returns had a production budget of $270 million (not including marketing), and that $200 million domestic doesn't impress.
So I'm sure the WB likely feels that this is a franchise that still has some juice left in it; and I'd guess that Chrisopher Nolan's success with The Dark Knight, released 2 years after Superman Returns, may have been of some added influence to revive the man from Krypton – and understandably, with some help from Nolan.
The pressure is on for Zach Snyder I'd say, who should be feeling really lucky right now to have been granted a project of this stature, since his last 3 films (all for WB) haven't exaclly been hits (compared to budget) nor critical darlings: Sucker Punch, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole and Watchmen.
As fars as I'm concerned, Dawn Of The Dead is still the best thing on his resume.
I should also remind you that Laurence Fishburne was cast to play Perry White, the Daily Planet editor-in-chief, in the next Superman movie, Man of Steel.
The rest of the solid cast includes: Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, and Russell Crowe.
June 13th (its release date) seems like a long way away, but time flies…
Here's the teaser trailer for Man Of Steel:

Well as you noticed, I missed my recap this for DWTS. I recorded it so I could watch it on Tuesday and get it all put together Tuesday night. I went to watch it. The DVR said: May 14th. Why then, was it last week's show??? Seriously. Last week with the current week's date. It makes my head hurt (more) to think about that. So don't blame me. Blame Verizon!
I do know that Maria and Derek went home. What the French Toast!?
In the finals are: William and Cheryl, Katherine and Mark, and Donald and Peta.
I am determined to recap the finals! Despite stupid Verizon! And don't even get me started on their wireless policies! We could be here all day!!!

Beijing—Chen Xuemin lives in northern Beijing. Last month, as soon as she received her pension, she donated 300 yuan (about 43 U.S. dollars) to her local community theater.
Theater director Nong Miaomiao lives in the same community. At the end of August, she heard that Chen's husband Fu was seriously ill.
Soon, Nong had gathered twenty other residents to make a video of the latest performances, and sent it, with their best wishes to the old couple. It was the last performance Fu ever saw.
The theater, created by the district government and Tsinghua University in 2014, was conceived as an experiment in bringing together senior citizens to administer their own community activities.
"We want all residents to take part in running their own community and to generate the kind of social vitality which works for them," said Li Qiang, dean of the school of social sciences at Tsinghua University, who oversees the program.
"If the residents have good reason to be more closely integrated with one another, a harmonious and happy community will take shape," Li said.
It is no secret that China's aging society is one of the foremost social issues of the times. China has more than 220 million people over 60 years old, 16.1 percent of the population, and both the absolute number and the percentage are growing.
Of those senior citizens, 15.3 percent believe they need to be taken care of, much more than double the amount in 2000, and a very heavy pressure on the government.
"One way to lessen the aging problem is for old people to learn to better care for themselves and for each other," Li said.
Established in the 1990s, the community where Chen and Nong live has a poor environment and old public facilities. Most residents are seniors who were resettled here when the buildings were new and their original residences were demolished.
When Li began working with the community, he set up a committee of 34, most of whom were retired. They identify problems, listen to the other residents, and discuss solutions. Many committee members feel they are busier today than before they retired. And the district authorities pay attention: A lot of their suggestions have been adopted, such as building bike sheds and planting more trees.
"At first, they did not have much idea what they should do, and were reluctant to attend meetings," said Liu Huili, head of the government office in the community.
"Later, when they found they really could make a difference, their motivation took off."
One example of the seniors new-found enthusiasm is Li Jianming, 78, who has practiced tai-chi for eight years. In China, eight years is not really a huge amount of experience in the art, but nonetheless, he volunteered to set up a class and now leads a dozen of his fellow residents as they exercise in a nearby park for at least two hours every morning.
With the enthusiastic support of a nearby language school, the seniors set up a classroom to learn English. The classroom is now a popular hangout for the old folks and many spend their spare time chatting there, sometimes even in English!
At an international health summit in Shanghai in October, Linda Fried, dean of Columbia University Mailman school of public health, told the audience that seniors who participate in community development are able to feel useful to society again, and have more to offer themselves, their neighbors and the world at large. With proper opportunities, an aging population can bring its own demographic dividend.
"Communities are the cell from which the body of society is made. If communities are well managed, many social problems are readily solved," Li Qiang said.—Xinhua

- abcmobilityAsked on July 14, 2014 at 11:56 AM
So my form is a request form, so the person requesting the app sends in the form and then on the backend we want to add details to that form on things that we do. I saw the hidden field widget and added that. But I was wondering is there a way to send the app request in and then me go into it and edit details then submit it?
If not is there a way for me to format the excel report so that I can see where I filled in information and where the form requestor sent information.
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on July 14, 2014 at 12:50 PM
Hello abcmobility,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to receive a submission email once a user completes the form and then you should be edit the details form there itself. Is that correct?
There is no built-in feature to achieve your requirement but it is possible to create such forms by taking advantage of a combination of our "Conditions", "Auto-responder" and "{edit-link}" features. Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Create a form with two sections in form. One will be filled by user and the other section will be filled by you where you can add your own details.
2. Add two form collapse in your form before and after the section to be filled by you.
3. Add a text box in your form to ask users for a pass / access key and based on that only the second section of your form will be displayed (please do not use the word password in the text box question label). Check the example screenshot below:
4. Add condition in your form to show / hide the form collapse if the value of the access key matches. The following guide should help you add conditions: https://www.jotform.com/help/57-Smart-Forms-Using-Conditional-Logic
5. Add one notification email alert and one auto-responder in your form. The notification email alert will be sent to you so that you can add your details in the form and the other one will be sent to the user. Following guides should help you:
Add auto-responder: https://www.jotform.com/help/26-Creating-a-Form-Autoresponder
Add notification: https://www.jotform.com/help/25-Setting-Up-Email-Notifications
6. In the notification email alert, you should add a {edit_link} which will allow you to be able to edit and add the details in the form. Please check the screenshot below on how to add the {edit_link}:
7. Add condition in your from to check if first section of your form is filled then send the submission notification email to your email address.
9. Add another condition in your form to see if the second section of the form is filled, then only send the auto-responder emails. Once you submits the form the auto-responder email will be sent to the user who originally submitted the form. The following guide should help you on how to send conditional emails: https://www.jotform.com/help/167-How-to-send-to-a-specific-email-address-based-on-a-selection
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Dawson Julia
In 1992 while seeking a independent self sufficient career, Dawson started to network in a upcoming market that remained untapped in most of Maine. Starting out as weekend work, high demand tickets for sports, concerts and theater were purchased by Dawson and others he employed in Maine for events located in MA, RI, NY. The niche being there were no lines for these events in Maine while lines were hundreds long in the state of the event. Connecting with ticket dealers in other states to obtain top wholesale value, he was able to create a consistent income while beginning to grow a small business in his house located in Canaan, Maine. After 5 years of continued revenue growth and profits a storefront business (Ticket Town) emerged in Fairfield, Maine under the sole proprietor ownership of Dawson Julia in 1997. In 2005 he began venturing into software development and started Cheatah Systems Inc. After 3 years of explosive growth with Cheatah Systems Inc while also dedicating 11 years of hard work into Ticket Town and generating 20 million in sales throughout those years the business Ticket Town was sold in 2008. While using in state resources and generating 100% out of state sales Cheatah Systems Inc. was able to become a net plus economy builder for Maine's small business growth.
In 2009 medical marijuana became legal in the state of Maine. In 2010 after legal implementation for medical marijuana caregivers rights to grow in Maine, Dawson became a registered caregiver with the state in the early stages and began a new venture. Focusing on a somewhat unique form of cannabis (CBD) in the early onset of medical marijuana, he soon became aware CBD cannabis is a very difficult genetic to acquire. Using what genetics were available a mission to create a new strain began. After 3 years of work a strong strength CBD and very low strength THC strain (20:1) was created and verified through lab results. Soon into 2013 the realization became apparent that 1 caregiver was not enough to handle the demand for the newly developed non psychoactive cannabis CBD strain "Dr. CBD". In 2014 the decision to open a new location was made. On May 31st 2014 East Coast CBDs Inc was created. A 14,000 sq ft. facility was acquired and a new route for growth was discovered by utilizing multiple family member caregivers into one location. Today East Coast CBDs is one of the biggest suppliers in Maine for non-psychoactive medical cannabis and is a happy to provide genetics sharing company for those who are certified and wish to acquire hard to find CBD genetics.
In July of 2014 Dawson helped to create and was a founding member of the MOFGA C3 program, which has become the East Coast's 1st organization for "clean cannabis certified" medical marijuana. This is a program designed to comply with traditional standards for certified organic growth.
In 2016 after 3 + years of continued work fighting Maine anti-medical marijuana bills independently, Dawson was offered a opportunity to become a member of the "Legislative Committee" for the non-profit organization "Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine" (MMCM) . Today he proudly helps to be part of leading a new fight for Maine citizen cannabis rights to both grow, posses and utilize medical marijuana in Maine and throughout the country.

1 Samuel 11 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
11 1 Nahash the Ammonite warreth against Jabesh Gilead, who asketh help of the Israelites. 6 Saul promiseth help. 11 The Ammonites are slain. 14 The kingdom is renewed.
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite [a]came up, and besieged Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will be thy servants.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your [b]right eyes, and bring that shame upon all Israel.
3 To whom the Elders of Jabesh said, Give us seven days respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then if no man deliver us, we will come out to thee.
4 ¶ Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told these tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lift up their voices and wept.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattle out of the field, and Saul said, What aileth this people, that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6 Then the Spirit of God [c]came upon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angry,
7 And took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul, and after [d]Samuel, so shall his oxen be served. And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out [e]with one consent.
8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand men, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Then [f]they said unto the messengers that came, So say unto the men of Jabesh Gilead, Tomorrow by then the Sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh, which were glad.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out unto [g]you, and ye shall do with us all that pleaseth you.
11 ¶ And when the morrow was come, Saul put the people in three bands, and they came in upon the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12 Then the people said unto Samuel, [h]Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring those men that we may slay them.
13 But Saul said, There shall no man [i]die this day: for today the Lord hath saved Israel.
14 ¶ Then said Samuel unto the people, Come, that we may go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered [j]peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
