Early every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, Norma Helentjaris and Ginny Daversa show up at the Pima Animal Care Center, take inventory of all adoptable dogs, photograph the new ones to upload to Petfinders and Craigslist, and walk all of the adoptable dogs with a small posse of volunteers. It is hard, and given the conditions there, chaotic work.
The two start at 7 a.m. and end whenever the job is done, usually between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., after which they go to the cat room and photograph the adoptables there. They've done this every week for more than two years now. Adoption rates have soared thanks to their work (they also go in on other days to take pictures of "rescue dogs"--the ones PACC intends to put down unless they're rescued within 24 hours). It's amazing how much time these two clock up at PACC, for no pay, with no fuss. What's more, they are utterly normal and down-to-earth folks.
Ginny and Norma do so much to keep everything together. They should be sainted, but I figured a nod in the Tucson Weekly might be nice, too.

More than 100 visitors to the Dec. 5 Rooted in Place exhibit opening in downtown Tucson (some of whom said that this trek downtown on a Friday night was new for them) were the result of Claire Conrad's wonderful coverage of Imaging 123 and the exhibition opening ("Stand in the Place Where You Live," City Week, Dec. 4). It was great to see the mix of artists, professionals, retirees, old and young enjoying the show and walking downtown. A raffle of downtown items gave attendees a look at local merchant offerings (and hopefully an impetus to shop local more often). A map/journal allowed people to contribute their thoughts about place and its importance. I can say that the exhibit opening was a fabulous success--and the Tucson Weekly had a hand in that achievement. Also, the Tucson Main Street Web site you mentioned in the story had contact from at least three community groups that wanted to be included in "the discussion." People of all types, business, residential and nonprofit, all seem hungry to work together, and they all seem to get their news from the Tucson Weekly.
Thank you. I'll continue to be a fan of your great publication, and please continue to do a good job reporting on and engaging our community. Who knows? Maybe someday, all the effort will result in good things (economically, architecturally and culturally) for our downtown. We each must do our part.

I am the original founder of the Boys R Us, and I believe that the article is inaccurate in some minor but significant ways. Dante Celeiro did not "discover" the Boys R Us, but was invited to join the group on a number of occasions, which he refused to do until I left as the group's primary figure. When Dante joined the group, the group went from being a collective that made decisions by rough consensus to having a group with a "manager" and a hierarchy. Although Dante runs the Boys R Us, I would not want your readers to get the impression that the Boys R Us was Dante's idea.
At the point when Dante took over, some members of the group were female UA students, but not all. Many of us were not students but were working in the community. Some of us were transgender; some of us were male. We were not performing "drag skits" but were doing full-length cabaret-style shows incorporating drag as well as a number of other genres.
To be fair, Dante's leadership as a manager has resulted in shows with bigger audiences and greater profits. However, it is my belief that the Boys R Us has long since stopped "pushing the envelope" and, in its form (following a hierarchy with Dante as leader) as well as content, has become much less political.

However, for a cheeky foil, this Saturday Night Live skit (circa early '80s, with Eddie Murphy) came to mind: "Prose and Cons."

TUESDAY BLUES!! - Sandy Denny - Who Knows Where the Time Goes(Demo)
4/ 5Oleh Old Pa's Corner
Tune Doctor Music Blog is like a time machine, albeit without the need for plutonium or speeding to 88 mph, It has the power to evoke vivid memories and summon long forgotten ones with the first few bars of a song.
My favourite ever version is the one Sandy recorded at the time she was with The Strawbs, which is more or less the same as this tremendous demo. As I said, perfection.
Excellent, Sfw will be so proud. Like the second version with guitar burbling along in the background. What happened to her?Reply
I've been a fan of this song for a few years. Love the original and the demo. Thanks for the post Old Pa!Reply

Patients undergoing whipples pancreaticoduodenectomy tend to develop delayed gastric emptying.
The study compares two types of anastamosis of stomach to jejunum (supracolic and infracolic) and compares whether it influences the gastric emptying.
The clinical evidence of delayed gastric emptying is correlated with objective evidence of liquid and solid emptying by radionuclide study.
The study also tries to evaluate whether pancreatic leak correlates with delayed gastric emptying

If you want your home featured on OldForgeCrossing.com contact us today.
Recent activity in Old Forge Crossing, Recent sales 2 bed room condos $190,000-$201,000, 1 bed room condos, 1 under contract $#165,000, 3 pending sales $160,000-179,000, 8 sold units $128,000 - $168,000 all data from the last 180 days as of July 5th 2018.
Old Forge Crossing 2017 Sales data
What happened to these Tredyffrin Easttown Condos in 2017?
Since the beginning of the year sales have been brisk in 2018. One home settled that was pending at year end and two homes went under contract and are now pending. One is currently listed for sale a one bed with den for $208,700 in Old Forge Crossing as of this date. Let's look back on last year.
33 sales, 21 of 1 bed and 11 of 2 bed condos, and 1 town house model over 2 floors with 2 ½ baths.
1 Pending sale of a 1 bed 1 bath unit.
Average overall square foot price $175.24. Although square foot price ranged from $127 to $208 a wide range dependant on many different factors such as location in the development, how updated the unit was and how much competition at the time of selling. Average square foot price for a 1 bed and a 2 bed unit is listed broken out below.
There does not seem to be a difference in price between 1st and 2nd floor units, there are buyers for each, some have a preference, some don't. It may impact slightly but not visible looking at the data.
1 bed units have an average sale price per square foot of $167.55. Remember some of these units may have a den as well.
2 bed units have an average sale price per square foot of $190.16. Remember some of these units may have a den as well.
Average days on market was 41, again this number was impacted by some sales that took a long time and others which sold as soon as they came to market.
Overall sellers got 95.8% of their original asking price and 97% of their last asking price, the price when they received a contract which may have been reduced from the original asking price.

Sales Data
For detailed information on sales in 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and earlier, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
We do it again and again and again! - Many Old Forge Crossing homes recently sold either for or to clients of ours plus we have rented several units for landlord clients. If you want help selling, buying or renting in Old Forge Crossing contact us today.
32 Homes were sold in Old Forge Crossing, Devon in 2016. 22 of these were one bedroom, one bath condos, of which 10 had a den as well. 9 were 2 bedroom 2 bath condos of which 1 also had a den, and one was a town home with 2 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths over two floors. the price per square foot for 1 bedroom units ranged from $123.15 -$196.13, with an average of $167.73. For 2 bedroom condos the price ranged from $153.72 - $211.11 with an average price per square foot of $184.19.
Price in Old Forge Crossing is determined primarily by condition, those condos with new windows and sliders, updated HVAC systems, updated bathrooms and kitchens fetch the highest prices. Those with dens obtain a slightly higher price if they have been equally updated. Also important is location within the community, there are those units that face parking and are just a short walk, whilst other units are on the rear of a building or face an inner courtyard and require a longer walk, which may give more privacy from the parking lot but be less convenient when carrying shopping. There is also some noise from Valley Forge Road and Route 202 for those units that face or are close to either. The only difference between first and second floor location is that dens are only available in second floor units.
As I mentioned, prices had risen but now seem to be going down, this may be accounted by a large number of units on the market, some being in condition which needs updating and thus sitting on the market a little longer and bringing a lower price. Condos have been selling on average in about 76 days, again quicker sales result from units having been updated and longer sales often being because price was too high intially or the unit needed updating.
Rental of Old Forge Crossing condos remains strong this year with decent rental returns being obtained by landlords but price obtained not increasing substantially. The one difference we have seen this year is the willingness of tenants to bid on properties offering lower monthly payments for longer terms. The increase of investor owners has moved the development to change their by laws to limit the number of investor owners. Whilst this limit is still a little ways off, it was necessary to protect the FHA approved status and the level of owner occupants for any buyer using a mortgage.
Some of the benefits mentioned by clients and customers of Old Forge Crossing are, FHA approved development for easy access to FHA mortgages, the things included in the condo fee, these include gas for hot water, cooking and for the dryer, water, external maintenance, grounds upkeep, tennis courts and swimming pool; also often mentioned is the amount of storage space, how large the rooms are and having your own laundry in your condo and not having to share it with others, a private entrance and mail delivered to your door, lots of parking and walking trails throughout the development and finally but definitely not least the location which as one client put it, "It is just close to everything". That includes Wegmans and Trader Joe's.
Recently featured in The Anvil David Inman the President of the Condominium Association mentioned the following benefits;

Warmed by the currents of the Gulf Stream, the Canaries benefit from year-round sunshine
The Canary Islands are a diverse little archipelago with two things in common: great weather year-round and some of the best beaches in Europe. They are Spain's most far-flung territory, sitting just off of the coast of northwest Africa.
Tenerife, the largest of the islands, is renowned for its landscape of lush forests, mountains and dark volcanic beaches. Or perhaps you'll plump for Gran Canaria, best known for its stunning swathe of sand dunes.
Lanzarote has a distinctive lunar-like landscape and nowhere are the Canaries' volcanic origins more evident than here. Then there's Fuerteventura, whose seemingly never-ending beaches are gloriously uncrowded. Oh, decisions, decisions . . .
Top holidays in the Canary Islands
Culture and history
The main religion in Spain is Roman Catholic, which accounts for around two-thirds of the country, along with a small minority of Muslims.
When meeting new people, a handshake is the common greeting among men, and a kiss on the cheek between women - the number of kisses can vary, so prepare yourself for two or even three!
You'll also find that the Spanish eat much later than we do in the UK, with lunch between 2-3.30pm and dinner between 9-11pm, so don't be alarmed if you find yourself in a relatively quiet restaurant. Oh, and the Spanish love to party - depending on when you visit you might find yourself embroiled in one of their many annual celebrations, including one that involves a battle with tomatoes!
Pablo Picasso is among Spain's most celebrated sons, along with Antoni Gaudi, whose eccentric architecture enlivens the Barcelona cityscape. More recent times saw Spanish cinema come into its own with directors like Pedro Almodovar breaking into the English-speaking world. And films like Guillermo del Toro's darkly fantastic masterpiece, Pan's Labyrinth, a Spanish-Mexican venture, solidified Spain as a big player in the film industry.
History-wise there has been a lot going on, from its dominating position when the Spanish Empire set out to discover the New World in the 16th and 17th centuries, to its catastrophic civil war in the 1930s and radical change following the death of dictator Franco in 1975. For an insight into the country's most recent history and the Spanish psyche, Giles Tremlett's Ghosts of Spain is well worth a read.
Things to do
If you'd like to put your feet up and completely unwind, choose a relaxing holiday to the Canaries in one of our lovely coastal hotels. However, if you just can't choose between the islands, how about opting for a tour that island-hops between them, or maybe join a cruise?
That way you'll be able to discover the unique highlights of each of the islands - even little La Gomera, the smallest and most untouched of the islands. Those with green fingers (or admirers of others' work) might like to try one of our special interest holidays in Tenerife or Gran Canaria, or you could perhaps step it up with a walking holiday of Lanzarote.

A few basic words of Spanish to get you started…
Hola – hello
Adios – goodbye
Por favor – please
Gracias – thank you
Si – yes
No – no
Perdon – excuse me
No hablo espanol – I don't speak Spanish
Spain is one hour ahead of GMT, two in British summertime.
Mains voltage is 220-240 volts AC (50 cycles) and all sockets take small round two-pin plugs. You'll need an adaptor for your British appliances, so remember to bring one with you as you probably won't be able to find one in Spain.
Spanish; Castilian -
Castillian Spanish is the official language, with other Spanish languages and dialects varying in different regions.
English isn't widely used outside of the main coastal resorts, so you may find it very handy to learn a few words before you travel.
Tipping is similar to the UK: the typical amount in restaurants is 10% (most establishments don't add a service charge to the bill). Taxi drivers and porters expect a small tip too.
The climate varies depending on the region, but generally the further south you go, the warmer it will be. The weather on the south and east coast is fairly reliable all year round, enjoying a balmy Mediterranean climate, while the interior tends to stay hot and dry as it's located on a plateau.
As health information can change at any time, we'd advise you to consult your GP at least 12 weeks before departure.
Country-specific information and advice on possible health risks is also published by the National Travel Health Network and Centre, and The British Foreign and Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit provides important health and safety information for British nationals travelling abroad.
Population and size
Spain has a population of 47.4 million, which is relatively low in comparison to other European countries such as France and Italy.
At 505,988 square kilometers, Spain is more than twice the size of the UK.
Smoking is banned in enclosed public areas and is not allowed on public transport, in bars or restaurants, except in designated areas. Be sure to remember this or you may be stuck with a hefty fine.

Five years in the making, The Broad is designed by world-renowned architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler. The new contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles, USA, was officially opened on 21 September.
Eli Broad, an 82-year-old housing tycoon turned serial philanthropist, has spent the last three decades breathing life into the long neglected core of LA, USA. His latest gift to the city is this 120,000 sq ft building that features two floors of gallery space to showcase the Broad's comprehensive collection and is the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation's worldwide lending library. The museum is home to the nearly 2,000 works of art, which is among the most prominent holdings of postwar and contemporary art worldwide.
Broad sees the new museum as, "the cultural crown of the downtown area of LA. With the opening of the Broad, LA has become without question the contemporary art capital of the world." Situated just over the road from Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall this area of Grand Avenue has been redeveloped with great style.
A striking concrete box perforated with thousands of angular holes that give it the look of a huge cheesegrater the building has also been affectionately compared to a mattress and even a lump of tripe.
One of the highlights of the museum is a third-floor gallery day-lit by numerous north-facing skylights and a fully-shaded glazed east wall. The shape of the skylight construction is configured to allow filtered daylight while preventing any direct sunlight.
Dubbed "the veil and the vault," the museum's design merges the two key components of the building: public exhibition space and collection storage. Rather than relegate the storage to secondary status, the "vault," plays a key role in shaping the museum experience from entry to exit. Its heavy opaque mass is always in view, hovering midway in the building. Its carved underside shapes the lobby below, while its top surface is the floor plate of the exhibition space.
The vault stores the portions of the collection not on display in the galleries or on loan, but DS+R provided viewing windows so visitors can get a sense of the intensive depth of the collection and peer right into the storage holding. The vault is enveloped on all sides by the "veil," an airy, honeycomb-like structure that spans across the block-long gallery and provides filtered natural daylight.

What is the evaluation context of `attrs` and `domain` attributes in view fields?
I know that all view fields are available. Also, in child objects (x2many),
parent.xxxx fields are available to domain (not sure about
Are there other variables available? Are
context variables accessible?
In Bug lp:920033 it was said that
uid is added, but, the bug was marked later as invalid!
As far as I know, in attrs you can only pass OpenERP basic "domain".
The domain is parsed by the Web client. That force you to have all fields used in domain in the view event if not shown, they must be invisible fields.
The domain value must be static.
attrs="{'readonly': [('my_filed_must_be_in_view', '=', 'static_value')]}"
You can not use complex function, or server related code the scope is limited to the view.
Normaly when you add a domain on a field using view definition you can use any kind of standard domain condition.
[('invoice.partner_id.name', '=', True)]
But you have to consider your self outside of system. It means you can only do domain that will work trough an XMLRPC call.
In the domain value you can use any static value or any field value. Once again if you want to use a field that is not shown as a value, it must be present in view even if invisible.
I do not think you can use context in domain value like in ir.action domain but I will not be categoric.
Thanks for your help. But, I was looking for a deterministic answer for the exact evaluation context of each type. I had some advances in my Javascript skills since I asked the question so I had the chance to study the issue and found that the situation is more complex than I thought at first.
For Example, record rule domains has
uid and
time module. OTH, view fields domains are evaluated client-side with current fields,
parent.* and
context in their evaluation context, except when many2one with selection widget where it is evaluated server-side with only
uid and

text: During 4D seismic reservoir characterization, it is important to have reliable rock physics models for both static (e.g., mineralogy, porosity, cement volume) and dynamic (e.g., saturation, pressure, temperature) reservoir parameters. Without a good understanding of reservoir geology and associated static rock physics properties, it is impossible to interpret time-variant changes in pore pressure and saturation (Andersen et al., 2009). The dry rock properties of the reservoir can be obtained from well-log data combined with geological information about mineral composition and rock texture, and Gassmann theory to estimate the effect of pore fluid changes. Normally, core measurements are undertaken to quantify stress sensitivity, but these are often affected by induced fractures caused by the coring acquisition that will enhance the stress sensitivity of the rock (Holt et al., 2005). Duffaut and Landrø (2007) showed how calibrated Hertz-Mindlin contact theory could be applied to estimate stress sensitivity on VP/VS ratios in two North Sea oil fields (Statfjord and Gullfaks), in order to explain observed AVO signatures during water injection and associated pore-pressure increase. It was found that loose Gullfaks sands yielded high VP/VS ratios (up to about 7) during water injection, whereas slightly quartz-cemented Statfjord sands yielded more moderate changes in VP/VS ratios (approximately 2). The differences were modeled by varying the number of grain-to-grain contacts. In this paper we further investigate the pressure sensitivity of seismic parameters in these two oil fields, applying the rock physics modeling approach presented by Avseth and Skjei (TLE, this issue), and we demonstrate a good match between rock physics modelling results and seismic observations in terms of VP/VS. The stress sensitivity of VP/VS decreases drastically when sands become cemented, as crack-like porosity at grain contacts are eliminated.

The Silent Evolution is a exhibition by Jason de Caires Taylor. Consisting of 403 life-size fugures and occupying an area of approximately 420 square meters, The Silent Evolution (La Evolución Silensiosa) besides its aesthetical component has in its purpose to permit the formation of an artificial reef in Cancun, Mexico.
This installation is part of the underwater museum called MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) a project founded by Jaime Gonzalez Cano of The National Marine Park, Roberto Diaz of The Cancun Nautical Association and Jason deCaires Taylor, located in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Punta Nizuc.
The underwater sculptures create a unique, absorbing and expansive visual seascape. Highlighting natural ecological processes Taylor's interventions explore the intricate relationships that exist between art and environment.
His works become artificial reefs, attracting marine life, while offering the viewer privileged temporal encounters, as the shifting sand of the ocean floor, and the works change from moment to moment.
The experience of being underwater is vastly different from that of being on land. There are physical and optical considerations that must be taken into account.
Objects appear twenty five percent larger underwater, and as a consequence they also appear closer. Colours alter as light is absorbed and reflected at different rates, with the depth of the water affecting this further.
The light source in water is from the surface, this produces kaleidoscopic effects governed by water movement, currents and turbulence. Water is a malleable medium in which to travel enabling the viewer to become active in their engagement with the work.
Night time ads another surprising and unreal element to the sculptures, here are some photos of Taylor's artworks in Grenada, West Indies being taken over by the reef night-life:

Los Angeles: The writers of the hit films "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Gravity Falls", Nicole Perlman and Alex Hirsch, are in negotiations to write a live-action movie on Pokemon.
The news comes after China's media company Legendary Films landed the rights to the "Pokemon" franchise after they were available in early July, reports variety.com.
The movie will be based on the upcoming game "Detective Pikachu".
The deal came two weeks after the Pokemon Go app was released and became a worldwide phenomenon. The augmented reality game allows players to capture, battle and train the Pokemon virtual creatures.
The hugely popular Pokemon Go app recently saw the pocket monsters surge back into the pop culture consciousness.
Pokemon was introduced in Japan in 1996 and has sold 279 million video games worldwide with 21.5 billion cards shipped to 74 countries, and an animated series spanning 19 seasons.
Universal Pictures will handle distribution of the live-action film outside of Japan.

Many may have heard of the Stella Adler Academy in Hollywood and its notable alums — Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, and Robert De Niro, to name a few. But not as known are the often-overlooked productions th run in the academy's small theatres where they exhibit the growing talent of some of their greatest pupils. Such is the case for the Stephen Adly Guirgis-written production, "Den of Thieves," which opened earlier this month.

Darren Criss has been envisioning Adele's voice singing his songs since well before "Glee" propelled him to fame.
Criss told a room of friends, family and fans at a Festival of New American Musicals event in Los Angeles on Sunday (Dec. 4) that he wrote "Not Alone," a soulful ballad that is part of his Harry Potter musicals as well as his solo EP, "for Adele's voice" when he discovered the singer's work while studying abroad in Italy during college.
He played an hour long set mostly full of covers and Starkid tunes, with his only "Glee" track coming as a finale with an acoustic "Teenage Dream" that he asked the crowd to refrain from singing along to. In general the crowd was vocal, gasping and calling out song requests from the front row, who Criss jokingly asked "do you guys do laundry?" after explaining that he pays for their enthusiasm.
Criss went directly from that show to Trevor Live, the charity event for The Trevor Project in Los Angeles for which Criss was also a featured performer.

Franklin Delano R. Burcker, 70, of Smithsburg, passed away surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2010, at NMS Healthcare Center in Hagerstown.
Born Dec. 31, 1939, in Hagerstown, he was the son of the late Raymond Francis and May Lillian Virginia (Lowery) Burcker.
He retired as a heavy equipment operator for the Montgomery County government.
He was a longtime member of the Thomas Pangborn F.O.P. Lodge 88. Frank enjoyed camping and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was an avid collector of coins, trains and clocks. His favorite hobby was spending time with his family and following his grandsons in all their sporting events. He will be remembered by his family as a loving father and grandfather.
He is survived by two daughters, Jeannette "Jeannie" M. Thompson and husband Bobby of Hagerstown, and Dana M. Burcker of Martinsburg, W.Va.; five grandchildren, Samantha Burcker, Robbie Thompson, Dustin Thompson, Karissa Burcker and Kharis Burcker; and a great-granddaughter, Baya Burcker; a brother, Jacob Burcker of Hagerstown; a special sister-in-law, Mae Burcker of Clear Spring; a daughter-in-law, Sherry Burcker of Williamsport; and numerous nieces and nephews.

An Egyptian Health Ministry spokesman said the death toll in violence outside the Cairo headquarters of the Republican Guard stood at 42, with 322 people injured after the Muslim Brotherhood accused the security forces of attacking protesters there, NBC News reported on Monday.
The Egyptian military said "a terrorist group" had tried to storm the building. A military source described the attackers as "armed Muslim Brotherhood elements", saying they had tried to storm the building at dawn.
The bloodshed deepened Egypt's political crisis, escalating the struggle between the army, which overthrew Morsi last Wednesday after mass demonstrations demanding his resignation, and the Brotherhood, which has denounced what it called a coup.
(Read More: Egypt PM Disputes Stalls Government, Islamists Call More Protests)
As an immediate consequence, the ultra-conservative Islamist Nour party, which initially supported the military intervention, said it was withdrawing from stalled negotiations to form an interim government for the transition to fresh elections.
Al Jazeera's Egypt news channel broadcast footage of what appeared to be five men killed in the violence, and medics applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation to an unconscious man at a makeshift clinic at a nearby pro-Morsi sit-in.
A Reuters television producer at the scene saw first aid helpers attempting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a dying man. Wounded people were being ferried to the field hospital on motorbikes, given first aid treatment and taken away in ambulances.
The military overthrew Morsi on Wednesday after mass nationwide demonstrations led by youth activists demanding his resignation. The Brotherhood denounced the intervention as a coup and vowed peaceful resistance.
(Read More: Egypt Launches Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood After Morsi's Ouster)
Military vehicles sealed off traffic in a wide area around the Rabaa Adawia mosque where Morsi supporters led by senior Brotherhood leaders have been staging protests since his ouster.
The army also closed two of the main bridges across the Nile River with armoured vehicles, witnesses said.
Talks on forming a new government were already in trouble before Monday's shooting, after the Nour party rejected two liberal-minded candidates for prime minister proposed by interim head of state Adli Mansour.

Zika virus
The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus, transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. These mosquitoes bite in the day, particularly around dawn and dusk.
The Zika virus should be considered by those who are planning to or have recently travelled overseas.
Protect yourself and others from Zika by taking the following precautionary measures if you are planning to travel or have travelled to areas affected with Zika:
1. Protect yourself against mosquito bites: The best defence against Zika virus is to avoid mosquito bites when travelling in a country affected with Zika. These precautions are necessary in the daytime as well as night.
2. Protect yourself during sex: Zika can be passed through sex from a person who has Zika to his or her sexual partners. Prevent sexual transmission of Zika through abstinence or use barrier methods of contraception such as male and female condoms with all sexual partners.
3. Pregnancy and family planning: As there is evidence Zika infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects, use barrier methods of contraception or abstain from any sexual activity particularly if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Please speak to your doctor for further advice.
4. Plan your travels - before, during and after.
- Check travel notices and subscribe to the latest updates to the country or countries you are travelling to.
RMIT University partners with International SOS, a medical assistance, international healthcare and security assistance service. Use the RMIT member login: 12ACPA000012 and gain access to the latest travel and health advice pertaining to the host destination/s or country. You can also download the International SOS app for your smartphone.
- Pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy are advised to defer travel plans to areas affected with Zika. Speak to your doctor for further advice or a pre-travel risk assessment.
- Travelers should also take steps to prevent mosquito bites for 4 weeks following their return from an area with Zika - particularly people who live or travel to areas of Australia where dengue outbreaks can occur. This is to help prevent spread from a traveller to the local mosquito population.
- If you feel unwell during or soon after travel, seek medical care and advice.

On 3 June 2012, IZOLYATSIA opens Partly Cloudy—a photography exhibition, which marks the final stage of the artists-in-residence program for photographers commenced by the foundation in 2011. The series on show—presented in the various warehouses of the IZOLYATSIA territory—are the final products of the research projects conducted by eight artists-in-residence: Richard Ansett, Nuno Barroso, Marina Black, Marco Citron, Homer (Sasha Kurmaz), Flavia Junqueira, Natalia Pavlovskaya, and Alexander Strinadko, during their stay in Donetsk past summer. The artists were asked to reflect on the concept of "partly cloudy" in relation to Donetsk as an ambivalent entity which may be perceived topologically, psychologically, sociologically, politically, aesthetically, anthropologically, etc.

The Drabek job was simple; get in, get out, nothing fancy, nothing special.
It was all going swimmingly, Krusk Facebreaker was watching the door in-case of sudden Imperial Police presence. Alleah Bravedance was keeping the hired security busy with her feminine wiles. While Alleah's comm and cut out right in the middle of job, it was chalked up to electronic interference due to security measures in the other part of the building she was in. Fizwick Transfall was busy hacking away within the server room, dealing with any electronic security within the estate. Lastly Auk "Osha" Mordeka and Kainan Stormblade broke into the vault to steal the object in question.
Upon their arrival however, they find the vault empty. Not only was the target stolen but the whole vault empty. As the two exited the vault sounds of distant gunfire filled the spaces of the room. As the war cry of raging Orc ended abruptly Kainen and Osha ran for the back door they passed by the server room to warn Fizwick. Who surprisingly was not there, nor was any of his stuff, it was as if he had taken the time to pack it all way, not something he would have done if he was in a hurry to escape the Police.
Reaching the back door the duo bust through only to find over 30 heavily armed ISPD agents pointing their assault blasters at them, and a hover-tank. Deciding to surrender instead of be shot in the street like dogs. The duo were arrested, charged with murder, theft, hacking, and resisting arrest. Their sentence was life imprisonment at the infmous Grey-Rock Maximum Penitentiary.

review and interview by Sheryl Witlen
It is easy to see why Chicago loves Pretty Good Dance Moves. The threesome recently won a place among the Top 10 on FameCast, an online artist discovery site that tallies votes from its viewers, allowing them to voice their affection for their favorite performances which in turn garnered the band placement in Billboard magazine. The band is the baby of both Jimmy Giannopoulos and Aaron Allietta who spent many afternoons experimenting with different synthetic sounds and complicated electronic melodies all the while searching for that something special in the form of a female presence for their collaborations. Enter Genevieve Schatz, chanteuse extraordinaire. Jimmy and Genevieve (also of Chicago's Company of Thieves) are the voices of PGDM, flirting and playing off one another in a constant male/female contest of skill and strength. Where Genevieve sounds wispy and alluring Jimmy tosses his game right back with moody and mellow undertones keeping their atmospheric affects grounded. Theirs is music that makes you gently sway and groove to the minimalistic sounds of the violin, xylophone and keyboard beats. Genevieve invites her audience to "come and dance with me… we'll shed our demons dancing" with such sensuality and innocence one cannot help but want to join her for the journey. Aaron might seem like he is in the background since he is the only member of the band who does not have a vocal presence but without his adept performance on keyboard Pretty Good Dance Moves would be stranded on a stark dance floor searching for a beat to call their own. Here is a sound technician and musician in one, proudly boasting of discovering his talents with the help of a "closet of keyboards." Most of their songs center around the age old traditional chase between males and females discovering and losing love. The circular repetition of this ritual translates into looping rhythms and repetitive lyrical passages. On their single that bears the same name as the band Genevieve confesses her frustrations and illusions calling out to the unknown, "I will never understand…" Taking advantage of residing in both Chicago and Brooklyn (Jimmy recently moved to Williamsburg), the band has been soaking up the best of both music communities and hopes to give back to woo their eagerly awaiting audiences with stellar, passionate performances. Their first EP, PGDM was released back in January and recently David Wolf (who has worked with the likes of Canada's Crystal Castles) took their track, "Demons Dancing" for spiced up-remixed version which you can check out on the band's MySpace page. As they're planning to release a full album soon, Pretty Good Dance Moves are sure to be one of the most touted bands of 2008.
Sheryl: So you just released your EP in January and you've been touring a lot in Chicago. Do you have plans for a national tour?
Aaron: Well actually, like I said [on the air], this was the first live show that we did. Originally it was a studio project that Jimmy and I started, and then once we met Genevieve the chemistry with all three of us clicked really well, and that kind of became the core trio, and, literally, like we were saying during our interview with John, we literally finished the album last night, five hours ago, so I think the plan is now to try and do some CMJ shows and then from there, just kind of get our name out and hopefully support another group, maybe, if there was a tour. We haven't even talked about it, but we'd probably be talking about next spring.
Jimmy: We'd be opening for a band called Company of Thieves.
Sheryl: How convenient. (laughter) How did you all meet? You were with Company of Thieves (to Genevieve). Were you two with another band, or…
Jimmy: Yeah, it's actually kind of interesting. We've known each other for a while. I recorded here in his studio years ago… when was that thing?
Genevieve: Maybe four years ago, I was seventeen at the time…
Jimmy: Like four years ago, yeah. So we were working with somebody that was working with her as well, in her old band, so we kind of, you know…
Aaron: Discovered this incestuousness in Chicago music community. Just to give you an example, the other day when I was talking to Genevieve, she said, "Oh, yeah, I was at a party at your house like three years ago." It's like we all know kind of each other and we hear each other's bands and we heard her sing and then we both agreed we'd love to have her do some stuff on our album. That was the original idea, to just get some nice female vocals, and it just kind of clicked, and we thought we should just do this all the time.
Jimmy: We looked at a bunch of different female vocalists and, we just thought, "Nah." At first we were like, oh, we don't need one, but then it was like, yes we need someone-we definitely need it. I mean, it's a HUGE part.
Aaron: It's like a give and take, with his voice and the presence of the female vocals.
Sheryl: I think what you said is key, though. It's like a community in Chicago. I'm from New York, actually, and Brooklyn is the same way, local bands support local bands, and take each other on tour, and it really helps.
Aaron: That would be ideal. We could do a Company of Thieves and Pretty Good Dance Moves tour thing.
Sheryl: So, Jimmy, you live in Brooklyn now?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Sheryl: How do you split the time?
Jimmy: I just come back a lot. I just got out of here because I needed to get out of here, so I just picked up and started from scratch. Met a bunch of people, i've really gotten into the music scene with all of these musicians out there, like you said. It's a really tight — my friends and all these people and we all know each other, we all hang out, we all work together at bars, and I've really just gotten involved in that, which is great. I commute back and forth, and it's great for us, because we can play out there now, and we've actually turned it into demand, because we've never played a show so everyone's, "when are you gonna play, when are you gonna play, where's the CD?" and now we can actually say we're going to play, and hopefully they will come, instead of saying, "Hey, you've never heard my music, but here's my CD, listen to it. Like it? Come tomorrow."
Aaron: I've been playing in bands for about ten years, and I think after a while you learn that you can either take the approach of, we're just going to play show after show after show, and throw the CD around, but I think the approach that we took is good, so many more people know about this band than any other band I've created, and now you can play a show. I mean, you can spend your energy in so many better ways, and focus on making the album sound good, and if you waste your time doing three or four shows a week, it just drains you.
Sheryl: There is something to be said about working from the ground up: hitting the streets, getting everybody excited, shooting music videos, and just have a heavy presence on the web, but it has to be refreshing to have the demand already out there, looming. Is that how you were discovered by David Wolf, he is a pretty big deal having worked with Crystal Castles. Due to your presence on the blogs?
Jimmy: He does a couple of songs on their record, he does remixes for them, for Of Montreal, a bunch of bands we loved. I listened to his stuff, I said this guy's great-shared it with Aaron and Genevieve.
Aaron: We did an opening DJ set for Crystal Castles, probably a month and a half ago. When we did that we were checking them out, and we heard, David's Wolf remix stuff was great.
Jimmy: Yeah, we said, we have some songs, would you be interested, and he said, absolutely. We sent him the tracks.
Aaron: And he did an amazing job of it.
Sheryl: Which track was that again?
Aaron: The last song we played Demons Dancing, he did a remix of that, it's this real club beat kind of thing.
Sheryl: So Aaron, you mentioned you have a closet full of keyboards.
Aaron: We have… my friend Tim and I, we co-run a recording studio up in Lincoln Square, at Montrose and Damen, and, like I said… I grew up playing classical piano, and I used to play jazz piano in college, and over the years with the different bands, I accumulated all these keyboards, and when Jimmy and I became friends, we were bartending together, his idea was that he wanted to do songs but not from that singer-songwriter — at least what I bring to the band is different arrangement ideas, using different kinds of instrumentation, and I thought we should do the keyboard-bass kind of thing. Every band I've ever played in has been that traditional drums-guitar-bass, and as a keyboardist you're limited to how you're structurally fitting that in and texturally to be able to go completely overboard with keyboards is my dream, it's fun.
Sheryl: A lot of bands are experimenting more and more with not using the traditional instruments. Are there any ones that you guys particularly like, that you're into now?
Aaron: All sorts of things
Jimmy: A lot of things. Of course, there's a lot of newer bands that come out, like MGMT, which is pretty cool, and they've got a lot of interesting things-they sound like an actual band, but they do electronic. It's really cool, what they do, and people are noticing them, so that's fun to have.
Aaron: Keyboard-bass bands, like The Album Leaf, and Sigur Ros, those two bands. How it's mixed, or volume-wise, I feel like they're kind of like they are a good inspiration and starting block for us.
Sheryl: Well, thank you, you all sounded great, we were super excited to have you.
Aaron, Jimmy, & Genevieve: Thank you.

Doki Doki! Pretty Cure (ドキドキ!プリキュア Dokidoki! PuriKyua?), loosely translated as "Heartthrob Pretty Cure", is a Japanese Magical Girl Anime series, the tenth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure series. Produced by Toei Animation, the series commemorate the ninth anniversary of the Pretty Cure Series and premiered on February 3, 2013.
Confirmation and Development
Doki Doki! Pretty Cure was first revealed on October 25, 2012 after Toei filed the trademark at the Japan Patent Office for a variety of goods on October 2.[1] and the official logo was revealed in the January issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine[2]. The series will commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Pretty Cure Series in 2013, replacing Smile Pretty Cure! on its initial timeslot.
The key visual first revealing the Cure's look was a poster officially released by Asahi TV on 8 Dec 2012. The poster officially confirmed the presence of 5 mascots, one of them named Sharuru (4 companions that can become mobile phone transformation devices, plus a baby mascot), the lead character's name as Aida Mana, the enemy's name Jikochuu, and a key location in the story Clover Tower.
From the Asahi TV poster:
- Aida Mana is a girl who is always eager to do things for the sake of others.
- One day, when she was visiting the Clover Tower during her school's orientation program, an enemy named Jikochuu appeared suddenly, and tried to manipulate her inner heart! To fight this enemy, she borrowed power from a fairy named Sharuru, and a magical device called the Lovely Commune to transform into Pretty Cure!
- To protect the peace of the world, other legendary Pretty Cure soon joined her in battle! A mysterious baby also appears, making each day a "Heartthrob" experience! The 4 Cures, always holding "love" in their hearts, are battling for the world's fate!
From Toei Animation Website:
- Just when Mana Aida, second-year student at Ōgai 1st Middle School, was about to reach the observatory at the top of the Clover Tower in her town, a monster appears. Mana, who jumps into action without thinking, is met by Sharuru, a fairy from the Trump Kingdom. With her help, she transforms into Cure Heart!

She reveals herself as Aguri in episode 23. She tried to seal away the Selfish King in the past but failed to do so, causing her mascot Ai to revert to an egg and rendering her powerless.

- Doki Doki! Pretty Cure is very similar to Heartcatch Pretty Cure!:
- Mana and Tsubomi, are similar with same theme color, and also they are good at studying.
- Rikka and Erika have the same theme colors, and cannot transform into Pretty Cures until the third episode.
- Itsuki and Alice have similiarties, they have the same theme colors, they also know how to fight.

Today I taught them a bit about cooking and how you have to have the correct ingredients and the correct amount for the recipe to turn out. I had them follow a recipe and make their own flapjack/pancake in a cup. They enjoyed flipping their flapjack too. They thought that their flapjack was delicious and that they were a pretty good cook! I think they really enjoyed it!
|First they add ingredients to make the batter in a cup.
|It is safer for me to put the batter on the griddle, but
they get to flip their own flapjack.
|I enjoy watching them get their flapjack ready to eat.
They take it so seriously.
|Some kids use a little syrup and some use enough for
five flapjacks.
|Here is the recipe - although I now substitute all-purpose flour.
We discussed many things during this lesson:
- how to read a recipe
- cooking "tools" - tablespoon, teaspoon, etc.
- electricity and how to safely plug in a cord {for the griddle}
- being safe around hot things
- following directions was really emphasized
- some foods come from animals: milk, eggs and honey were used today
- all about wheat and how it is grown
- how wheat is changed into flour
- what other foods are made from flour
- what steam is - that was rising from the pancake
- I read the "Little Red Hen" book and we saw how she raised wheat
As you can see...many small lessons and standards can be covered with one project!

Herman Cain Berated for Telling the Truth About Public Unions
Posted on April 10 2011 9:00 am
|Print This Post
Political correctness has fostered a thoughtless political discourse where arguments rest on whether someone is offended. There's no need to determine whether a claim is right or wrong, only whether it hurts someone's feelings.
A recent example comes from ThinkProgress, who reported earlier this week on a radio appearance by Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain. The former Godfather's Pizza CEO directed criticism at public employee unions.
After host Carmen Conners declared that public unions are "being driven by communist groups," Cain agreed that he was concerned about unions, telling Conners that some labor unions "are trying to bring down the United States of America." Cain also maintained that some unions "are trying to destroy the state of Wisconsin":
CONNERS: We have public unions that are being driven by communist groups like the CPUSA and all that. Are you concerned about the disruptions being caused by these public unions?
CAIN: Yes I am concerned about that disruption. What the American people have got to be told, which is the truth, that some of these unions and some of these disruptions that we have seen, they really are trying to bring down the United States of America. They are trying to destroy the state of Wisconsin(…)
… Cain's comments this morning show just how far some are willing to go to appeal to the Tea Party fringe.
That's an interesting conclusion which neglects the essential question. Is Cain right? Are public unions being driven by communist groups? Are some unions trying to destroy the state of Wisconsin and the rest of the country?
Just the week before the last, a prominent member of the Communist Party USA publicly expressed his surprise at the level of radicalization among Democrat state legislators in Wisconsin. Socialist and communist groups coordinated with SEIU, the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, and others on the "One Nation" rally last year, and again on this year's "Rally to Save the American Dream." Socialists and communists were prominent fixtures throughout the protests in Wisconsin over Governor Scott Walker's proposed legislation curtailing the monopolistic control of those unions. So it seems we can say with a fair amount of certainty that public unions are being driven by communist groups.
The claim that some unions are trying to destroy Wisconsin and the United States is a little more subjective. Surely, the unions and their socialist and communist allies would argue they simply wish to transform our nation into a classless utopia where all would thrive. Cain's comment simply acknowledges the results which similar efforts have wrecked wherever they've been tried.
ThinkProgress here discourages thought. Cain's remarks are presented as self-evidently extreme, without any attempt to correct them. Perhaps that's because they don't require correction.
