The Vision
Chase and Holland was founded by two recruitment professionals who with many years of experience in markets throughout the UK, simply felt a need to offer a higher level of service to candidates and clients – offering in essence a truly consultative approach.
Their vision for Chase and Holland was to become a successful specialist recruitment business whose successes and growth stemmed from not only the consultants working for the business but the service those consultants provided to the market.
Mission Statement
Our Values
Passion – we believe in what we do and are driven to give the best service in the market at all times
Honesty – no smoke screens we are about long term relationships and developing trust with everyone we work with both internally and externally
Innovation & Knowledge – we are keen to keep using the latest technology and practices to enhance our customer experience. In addition we will provide our consultants and clients with maximum knowledge in order to make effective decisions
Our People – as is the case for all businesses our people are our most valued asset and we endeavour to provide you with the most qualified and knowledgeable consultants in our sector
Fun – creating a fun environment where we can deliver with a smile and enthusiasm
So what do we do?
Currently our specialisms lie within four areas – Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement and HR. We are not a generalist. By specialising in a select number of areas it allows our consultants to have a detailed knowledge and understanding of the roles they recruit for.
With regards to locations, our North Midlands/South Yorkshire division comfortably covers South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, whilst our East Midlands division looks after Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. In 2018 we expanded further opening a Leeds office allowing us to easily service the North Lincolnshire and Yorkshire locations.
You will find us very open and honest in our approach to work. We will only offer solutions to you which we believe are right. For clients we will not send insignificant CV's to 'pad out' a shortlist and for candidates we will only talk to you about roles we know are right.
Our specialisms will of course develop further over time and will be brands that we genuinely feel suit market requirements. When will these new brands appear? When we are confident we have the right people with the strongest technical experience in place to successfully service requirements.

Double unders - you either love them or struggle with them. Between the two, I am definitely on the struggle side. How do you improve? PRACTICE them! Practice them before a WOD when you are fresh, practice them under fatigue (i.e. right after a WOD), practice them multiple days a week doing a certain number in an EMOM. Part A today is a great test. You will see this DU Test again at C5, so if you do not log every workout, consider starting with this one! :)
Some helpful reminders and cues to improve your double unders:
- Relax your face, shoulders/traps, and remember to breathe!
- Keep your arms in close to your sides and slightly in front of your body. When you are practicing your DU, you should be able to see your hands in your peripheral vision.
- What's the major difference between a single under and a double under? For a double under, jump higher and increase your wrist speed. Sounds simple right?! When practicing, try taking a video of yourself -- you will be able to learn so much by watching yourself back!!
Happy Friday!

Kamen Rider Stronger episode 35!
[DDL] [Script] [Torrent]
[Release Post and MP4 at Midnight Crew Subs]
The header image says it all, Kamen Rider V3 is on the scene!
Following the horrifying Marshal Machine (no seriously) from Egypt, Shiro Kazami arrives just in time to help Stronger in his battle! Marshal Machine and Snake Woman launch an unrelenting attack against Stronger, as General Shadow and the Delza Army move into full on onslaught against the Rider! And to make matters worse, Snake Woman has the power to drain Stronger's electric energy!
Delza's plans are moving into their final phase and Stronger is overwhelmed... will he be able to stop them in time?
As many of you know, we recently helped out a little with Over-Time's Kamen Rider Gaim and Wizard movie. And while it was a very fun movie, it really goes to show you how much cooler these classic crossovers were. The heroes were on each other's side, palling around and offering advice. They had a real rapport. It was fun watching them on screen together. These days it's expected that the Riders will cross over at some point, but seeing them actually interact is such a rare treat. And let's not get started on how the Showa guys get treated...
I'm not saying the newer crossovers aren't fun, they are. But episodes like this really shine on their own, but even more so when compared to their modern counterparts.
We hope you enjoyed tonight's release. Come back on Wednesday for Kamen Rider episode 42!
PS: If you're looking for more Kamen Rider V3 action, the entire series is available from Generation Kikaida! Visit them at GenerationKikaida.com. Please support official english Tokusatsu releases.

Industrial Alliance Complex
Carrefour Industrielle Alliance
Final completion:
Industrielle Alliance
42 000 000 $
- Award of Excellence - Urban Development Institute of Quebec, 2000
The Simpson's Building was constructed in 1929 in an Art Deco style and was an important contributor to the commercial vitality of St. Catherine Street until its closure. In 1997, in an effort to maximize the real estate potential of this now empty building, l'Immobilière Industrielle Alliance, undertook its redevelopment into a multi-functional commercial centre of more than 210 000 square feet in area, containing a department store on the ground floor, a cinema complex with 13 screens on the upper floors and a food court at the basement level.
The extensive project involved several technical challenges: the acoustic separation of the different spaces, increasing the structural spans, increasing the building's population (to more than 4300 people) which then led to the complete re-organization of the vertical circulation and the exit stairs.
Completed in 1999, this project successfully transformed the old Simpson's store into the Carrefour Industrielle Alliance, revitalizing Montreal's most important commercial artery.

I'm figuring that the 21 day Med cruise was on NCL as well. I would call them and tell them you cancelled...and WHY you cancelled. If more people did that, it "may" send a message to that cruise line about getting their act together. I have been reading a LOT of negative reviews about NCL for the last year plus. NCL used to be a top shelf cruise line. They need to remember that it's not how nice the ship looks from the outside...its what is on the inside that matters!!
Review by oakesj
In response to review, CrusinTim says ...
4 Answers
For good diners on NCL you have to go to the extra pay restaurants. The MDR on NCL tend to have bad service and not to good of food. On my last NCL cruise the dining rooms messed up 1 or 2 peoples orders almost every night when we were a party of 8 to 12. Even the extra pay restaurants messed up orders or did not bring everyone's dinner at the same time.
Thank you for the review. I find this information sad. I am Platinum in NCL and always had a great time and received great service. I will find out in 10 days. Hope you next cruise is better. But it won't hurt me to lose weight :-)
Food is a large part of a cruise for lots of people. You should not have to complain that the food is bad, it should be good food. I myself do not like to complain about food and have the server or chef put anything into my replacement food.
I can understand OaksJ's feelings and I would also cancel an upcoming cruise if I got that bad of of food on a cruise line. I had bad food on Princess 20 years ago. It was my first and last cruise on Princes just because of the food.
I think they did a balanced review and they gave good rating to the good parts and bad ratings to the bad parts of the cruise.
Like all Cruises food is subjective and everybody has an opinion and has the right to post their opinion with out being called names. This review did do service for people thinking of this ship. It stated the Pearl has a friendly crew, decent buffet but the MDR was bad, so bad that they lost weight and canceled an upcoming cruise with NCL.
This is a friendly cruse information site and no need to call names and insult people. There are plenty of other cruise sites that get catty and nasty. Lets keep this the fun, relaxed site that it is
For your info MrChocoholic...It is not just this negative review but a series of negative reviews that encompass on a certain area (in this post, the poor food quality in the dining room) that HELPS people to make decisions about future cruises with the line or ship. I have read more negative reviews lately about the poor quality of food present on NCL lines so that has me removed from my booking with them until I read more positive reviews about their food. If you knew ANYTHING about cruising, you would know that most people have learned to read reviews about a line or ship before booking! It has nothing to do with the insults you gave as the info given in this post has necessary information for those that may be planning a cruise with NCL or the ship. It is not the responsibility of the passengers to inform the crew of poor service. Especially when it is nothing new in the category they are complaining about .
The food on this trip was not up to expectations. It was the same food over and over in the dining area. By the time you got your food and found a table that was available to sit at your food was cold. It was not a good experience. The food is a major portion of the cruise experience. Even the specialty restaurants were a disappointment except for the steak place. Also it is advertised as free style, eat on your time, and that is not true. Everything shut down except one place, the Sheehan's restaurant. We went there one evening, as they were the only one open and they were very rude. It was obvious that they did not want to serve us. We left. They also have the Indigo that is advertised as a free dining area. It was closed most of the time for a "private party".
I used to cruise on NCL L but several things discouraged me from returning. One was being pressured to sit at large tables at lunchtime and being set aside when our party of four wanted a table for four. Also although they pioneered Freestyle, there were too long lines for evening reservations. Also the servings were too small. We often ordered two appetizers to get enough of a taste. Finally, we decided it just wasn't worth it.

American Chauvinism soars to new demagogic heights: Hillary's Aug 31st War Speech ...She criticises Trump the putative "fascist" of the season for being a wimp for saying politicians shouldn't boast that America is the exceptional country as it offends people in other countries... None of that namby-pamby shite for Hillary!
"Part of what makes America an exceptional nation is that we are also an indispensable nation," "In fact, we are THE indispensable nation. People all over the world look to us, and follow our lead," Clinton said.
Hillary said when she becomes president cyber attacks against US interests will be treated "like any other attack" – and that includes Military Action.
"As President, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyber-attacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic, and military responses,"
- #Hillary #Clinton #speech at the American Legion's 98th Annual Convention in Cincinnati, Aug. 31, 2016.
Hillary's Further Remarks at Aug 31 American Legion event:
"I want you to know, if I am fortunate enough to win this election. I will be a president for Democrats, Republicans, independents, for people who vote for me, for people who don't, for all Americans. That is what I think we need. We need to unify our country and go forward into the future with confidence and optimism.
Today I want you to know a little bit about where I stand and how I see the world and America's place in it. I spent four years as your Secretary of State, eight years before that as Senator from the great state of New York, six years on the Senate Armed Services Committee. If there's one core belief that has guided and inspired me every step of the way, it is this. The United States is an exceptional nation. I believe we are still Lincoln's last, best hope of Earth. We're still Reagan's shining city on a hill. We're still Robert Kennedy's great, unselfish, compassionate country.
And it's not just that we have the greatest military or that our economy is larger than any on Earth. It's also the strength of our values, the strength of the American people. Everyone who works harder, dreams bigger and never, ever stops trying to make our country and the world a better place. And part of what makes America an exceptional nation, is that we are also an indispensable nation.
In fact, we are THE indispensable nation. People all over the world look to us and follow our lead. My friends, we are so lucky to be Americans. It is an extraordinary blessing. It's why so many people, from so many places, want to be Americans too. But it's also a serious responsibility. The decisions we make and the actions we take, even the actions we don't take, affect millions even billions of lives.
You know that; you've seen it.
Now all of this may seem evident, especially to men and women who have worn the uniform. You may wonder how anyone could disagree.
But, in fact, my opponent in this race has said very clearly that he thinks American exceptionalism is insulting to the rest of the world. In fact, when Vladimir Putin, of all people, criticized American exceptionalism, my opponent agreed with him, saying, and I quote, "if you're in Russia, you don't want to hear that America is exceptional." Well maybe you don't want to hear it, but that doesn't mean it's not true."

Why Does Anime Portray Men as Perverts?
April 29, 2018
Fans of anime often ask me why anime has so many perverted men. On the surface, we can say its because of the fans or because of Japan's sexual culture, but as usual, the true answer involves more complexity. Perverted comedy is a niche despite its proliferation online. The Internet has a tendency to take a niche and make it appear more popular than it is. Most anime I've seen have few perverted male characters, and when they do appear, they appear as comedy relief. So part of the reason is a perception problem. A section of the anime community focuses on these characters and stories because of their immaturity. Hormonal teens run amok online on forums and social media, but they don't represent the majority of anime fans. From my own anecdotal experience, most anime fans in the United States are teenage girls and young women. Women dominate the anime blogging community.
Japanese Sex Culture and Perverted Anime Men
People like to pin perverted male characters on the sexual repression in Japanese culture. Yet, for those of us who study the culture, we know it isn't truly repressed, at least not in the same way as American culture. Japanese sexual culture features an emphasis on fantasy. Perverted male characters play into this fantasy by providing an outlet for actions that are taboo in the public eye. It comes back to the idea of social harmony. People don't have the freedom to act out in ways that disrupt the harmony of society, as perverted characters do. Of course, this doesn't stop men from groping women on subway trains or from taking clandestine panty photos. Such behavior is not acceptable. Fictional perverted men, however, provide an acceptable, humorous outlet for men who want to buck social demands. It works the same way as action heroes here in the US. Action heroes act in ways everyday men cannot, shooting or beating people who oppose them, driving fast, and saving the girl. They provide an outlet for masculine fantasies.
Japanese culture faces a decrease in birth rates in recent years as people's interest in sexuality declines and polarizes (Ishikawa, 2015):
The number of adolescents stating that they were sexually active in 2011 was lower than in 2005 or 1999, and the same as in 1993. Moreover there appears to be a polarization among adolescents; while some become sexually active at an early age, there are others who do not seem interested in sex.
This environment impacts anime as a commercial product. In Ishikawa's study (2015), 5% of males with stay-at-home mothers reported to have had sex under the age of 18 while those with working mothers rated at 9.1%. In either case, the rates of sexual activity among teenage males rates low. The majority don't have sex according to Ishikawa. This is why the awkward virgin character appears more than the perverted, sexually-active male. More people can identify with him than the perverted side character who brags about his conquests. But, at the same time, the perverted character remains because it represents a persona some men wish they could be or experience. Harem anime center on male escapist fantasies.
Marriage doesn't provide a sexual outlet, however. According to the Association of Japanese Family Plan, in 2014 married couples reported that they do not have sex more than once a month. The parent-child relationship rates as more important than the husband-wife relationship ( Ishikawa 2015). This offers a reason why perverted male characters stereotype as older men–think Master Roshi and Jiraiya–more often than teens. It provides a outlet for men who may feel dissatisfied with the focus on children within their marriages. These characters also allow them to laugh at their own sexual state by providing an absurd opposite.
I have to note that anime often features innocence as a type of perversity. For example, in Dragonball, Goku often looks up skirts. This may appear lewd to Americans, but it can be seen as a child's curiosity instead of an expression of sexuality. Some teen characters feature this same level of curiosity and innocence. This differs from true perversity which has a lustful component and a drive for sexual gratification. Perversity has an element of curiosity. Even men who are sexually experienced retain this curiosity.
Teenage Male Groups and Attitudes Toward Sex
In the US, anime most often associates with teens so let's return to that age group for a moment. Castro-Vanquez performed a case study of a Japanese senior high school back in 2003. While the study had a small sample size and can't be extrapolated to the general population, it revealed a few useful ideas. In the study, students fell into one of four categories:
- Grinders – those who believed in hard work and restrained sexual activity. They believed hard work was the key to success and they spent their time studying instead of socializing.
- Lifestylers – those who searched for their own path and had a critical view of school. These boys disliked Grinders and Sporting Boys and began to have sexual relationships.
- Sporting Boys – these students believed in hard work and discipline. They drew sharp distinctions between masculinity and femininity, believing girls were feeble, vulnerable, and in need of protection.
- Confident Heterosexuals – these boys focused on their sexual and social performance with girls. They viewed the loss of virginity as essential for adulthood.
Grinders and Confident Heterosexuals stand at odds with each other. Grinders viewed sexuality as opposite academic achievement and success:
Q: Are you saying that having sex and academic achievement contradict one another?
A: … For example my friends, whom I attended kindergarten with, they have many girls, they are always causing problems and they are having a lot of sex. It sounds a little bit biased, but their academic abilities, and abilities in general are different. The schools, the schools they attend are not that good. They don't restrain themselves. They do mainly sports. They play around. They have sex when they feel like … The environment where they live is just different.
(Masashi, 18 years old)
Whereas the Confident Heterosexuals considered sex as a product of manliness. Inside these 4 categories, we also see anime character stereotypes. Lifestylers and Confident Heterosexuals contain the perverted anime male character. Most perverted characters embrace their sexual drive, and some equate it with manhood. This contrasts with innocent interest in gender differences some characters convey.
Lifestyler male characters may have an extreme interest in sex, but they also have enough fear that they never follow through with the act, such as Aito in The Comic Artist and His Assistants. The conflict appeals across the different categories and provides for humorous situations. They want to look but not touch while the Confident Heterosexual brag about what they've done. Because of their confidence and follow through, Confidents don't provide the same tension in a story as Lifestylers. Female Grinders often appear as closet perverts in anime.
Speaking of female characters, for most of Japanese history, women were considered more sexual than men. The West also held this same view; however, unlike male sexuality, female sexual desire was used as a reason for repression in the West. The story of Eve and the fall of humanity from paradise cast a long shadow on female sexuality. During the European Middle Ages, female sexuality sometimes equated with demonic behavior. As for Japanese history, female sexuality simply wasn't mentioned. Some ukiyo-e prints and sex manuals from the Tokugawa period depict women enjoying sex, but on the whole it wasn't discussed. This silence has carried through to anime, although in shojo stories and yuri stories you'll see more overt female sexuality. This trend is slowly changing. Female characters that own their sexuality are appearing in more anime, such as Kill la Kill.
Commentary on the Pervert
The Pervert strikes me as more annoying than funny, but then anime's comedic characters often annoy me. Humor doesn't translate across cultures sometimes. The main issue with the perverted male centers on how it spreads across the internet and makes some think such behavior is okay. I've ran into male anime fans that think its funny to look up women's dresses and other anime comedic behavior. They miss the main point of those characters: such behavior isn't okay. They appear in anime to provide an outlet and to show how such behavior is disruptive and tone deaf. It put it simply, they show how it is not okay to be a pervert. In most anime stories, the male pervert fails to get the girl they want and end up alone. They fail to grow and mature as the story progresses, while their counterparts do. Anime depicts perversity as a state of immaturity and of frozen time. Perverted characters remain frozen in their present, unable to move forward toward their goals. Ironically, their perversity prevents them from having fulfilling sex lives. Many anime fans who live these "fun" personas simply miss the point.

I spent today at a drop-in for refugees, playing Duplo and Peppa Pig with the toddlers. Whilst the rest of the world debates their fate, we sang songs and smiled a lot. Their mums carried the weight of their journeys on their faces. Tea and cake helps to break the ice and encourage conversation. As I hold a baby, rocking her to sleep, I think what a miracle she is.
Sundown today the 23rd of March 2016 starts the Jewish holiday of Purim. Purim means "lots" – as in "they cast lots" only purim is a Hebrew word, not Greek. And Purim is from the story in the book of Esther, not the gospels of Jesus. Esther 3:7 says "the lot (pur) fell on the twelfth month". That was when Haman (a leader in the Persian Empire) would kill the Jews. Purim is the plural of pur.
Haman's lots were evil. A kind of rolling of dice to decide when to commit genocide. Bit like the fish bowl with names inside in the Hunger Games. The lots were cruel. But as the story goes, Esther and her cousin (and leader of the Jews) Mordecai changed everything.
As the story of the "hidden miracle" goes…
In a beauty contest, the Persian King chose Esther (a Jew) as his new Queen. Then Haman was promoted within the Persian Empire's government to the top position, just below the King. Mordecai refused to bow to Haman, and this upset Haman. So much so that he plotted to kill the Jews. So Mordecai speaks to his cousin Esther, urging her to speak to the King. She can't just enter into the King's presence uninvited. She tells Mordecai and all the Jews to fast and pray for three days while she asks G-d what to do.
On the third day, she dresses in her royal robes and dares to enter the presence of the King. The King notices her and invites her to speak. She doesn't plead then and there for her people. Instead, she invites the King and Haman to a banquet, a party at her place.
But the night before the party, Haman decides to kill Mordecai first thing the next day. However, that same night, the King just happens to read his journal that states that Mordecai once defended the King, preventing his murder. The end result is instead of being killed, Haman is forced to honour Mordecai – to parade him wearing a robe and riding a horse into the capital city!
At Esther's banquet, Esther pleads for her people to be spared from genocide. She reveals that Haman is plotting to kill her people. Haman tries to plead for his life, ends up falling on Esther in such a way that the King thinks he is trying it on with his Queen. The King orders Haman to be executed in the very manner in which Haman had planned to kill Mordecai.
The King gave Esther the lands belonging to Haman. The King placed his signet ring on Mordecai's hand. At this point, Esther again pleads for the planned genocide to stop. The King stopped the planned genocide and also gave the Jews the right to arm and defend themselves. The Jews celebrated!
But then the day chosen by Haman's purim came, the day when the genocide would have happened. On this day, the Jews, now armed, fought those who had planned on killing them. They destroyed all their enemies, with the King's blessing.
Mordecai and Esther told all the Jews to celebrate this victory every year. Thus – the holiday Purim.
Purim Today
People celebrate it in different ways, I am sure. But traditionally, on the eve, the book of Esther is read. When the name Haman is mentioned, the people make loud noises. Some people dress up in bright costumes. On Purim day, Esther is read again. Money must be given to two poor people. A gift of two types of food must be sent via a messenger to someone. Then they party!
A good video on Purim is the Maccabeats' song "Purim" found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgJInVvJSZg
"So raise your glass if you see G-d, in hidden places. He's right in front of you!" (Maccabeats)
Power of Stories
G-d commands the telling of stories. Passover (Exodus story) is another holiday when a story must be told. Christians can learn a lot from the Jews about how and why stories are told. I think sometimes we Christians tell stories because they are in our lectionary or fit with the holiday. But to see the stories as the reason for the holiday in the first place, as reinforcements of who G-d is and how G-d relates to us as redeemer (Passover) and protector (Purim) – that way of hearing and retelling a story is quite powerful.
This week, we Christians are retelling the stories of Jesus' final week, leading up to his crucifixion and then resurrection. This is a story we retell in part every time we share Communion. And as I am thinking about how to retell the events of Jesus' last Passover meal before His crucifixion, I am torn between the solemnity of the occasion for Christians, the retelling of liberation for the Jews, and the celebratory defeat of death that is Purim. Part of me wants to celebrate and dance because I know the end of the story. I know Jesus is alive, reigning. That G-d's kingdom is advancing (Purim / Easter). Part of me remembers with thanks my liberation and seeks the liberation of others (Passover / Good Friday). And part of me needs to ensure that the story of Jesus' last meal with his mates, where He washes their feet and tells them to love each other because that's how people will know they were his followers, how he takes the bread and breaks it then shares the wine declaring a new covenant. The water, the bread, the wine, the command – these things are important.
I've learned a lot from seeing how the Jews retell the stories of G-d. I'm thankful for their faithfulness and joy! I too celebrate finding G-d at work in hidden places.
Where is G-d at work today? Purim reminds me to keep seeking, expecting G-d's unexpected. As I work in the community and in the church, I am reminded not to "write anyone off". My hand isn't to dip into a fish bowl and draw out the names of those to be excluded from what G-d is doing. I celebrate G-d's stories, the retelling of the things He has done in anticipation of what He will do, through whoever G-d chooses.
Blessings to you this Purim.

Oscillatory networks for self-organisation and quorum sensing in artificial cells
Chemical waves commonly appear in biological systems as part of signaling processes that coordinate multicellular activity, such as the aggregation of cells of the slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. This behaviour is only triggered when the colony of cells is sufficiently large and dense. The ability of cells to gauge their population density and collectively initiate a new behavior once a critical density is reached is known as quorum sensing. To understand the principles of collectively "counting" how many cells are present, we develop models of chemical communication within a colony of signal-releasing entities. These entities could be thought of as biological cells or simple artificial cells, nonliving microcapsules that contain catalytic material and can therefore produce chemicals. We suppose that the rates of production of chemical species are dependent on the local concentrations according to a regulatory network. In this study, we consider the "repressilator" as an example of such a network. In well-mixed systems, the repressilator network is known to exhibit either sustained oscillations in chemical concentrations or a stable equilibrium state. Through theory and simulation, we show that the emergent behaviour in colonies of repressilator cells is sensitive to both the density and number of cells in the colony. For example, decreasing the spacing between a fixed number of cells can trigger a transition in chemical activity from the steady, repressed state to large amplitude oscillations in chemical production. Alternatively, for a fixed density, an increase in the number of cells in the colony can also promote a transition into the oscillatory state. Thus, we can use the emergence of oscillations as an indicator for reaching a quorum. This response allows us to design complex, biomimetic functionality in synthetic systems. We begin to explore these possibilities with models of microcapsules that move on a flat surface in response to gradients in chemical concentrations.

Expressing horror at news reports and videos showing African migrants in Libya allegedly being sold as slaves, United Nations Chief António Guterres on Monday 20th November 2017 called on the authorities to urgently investigate the situation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
"Slavery has no place in our world and these actions are among the most egregious abuses of human rights and may amount to crimes against humanity," Mr. Guterres told reporters at a press stakeout at the UN Headquarters, in New York, Monday.
He added that he has asked the relevant UN actors to actively pursue the matter.
Mr. Guterres also called on all countries to adopt and apply the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its protocol on trafficking in persons and I urge the international community to unite in fighting this scourge.
Further in his remarks, the UN chief urge the international community to unite in fighting the scourge.
António Guterres also called for addressing migration flows in a comprehensive and humane manner, including through the development cooperation among States to address its root causes, meaningful increase of all the opportunities for legal migration, and enhanced international cooperation in cracking down on smugglers and traffickers and protecting the rights of their victims.

Ancient traditions will come back to life

The event will start as it does every year, with a traditional Aztec ritual: the blowing of the conch and the asking of permission from the four winds and Mother Earth to begin the celebration.
A procession of colorfully painted skeletons then visit altars to remember and honor the dead, carrying pictures, candles and burning incense. At each of the altars is a group of dancers that move in unison to the beat of a single drum to celebrate the dead honored there.
Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is an annual festival that originated in central and southern Mexico, the land that used to be the Aztec Empire. According to Aztec culture, the spirits of lost loved ones return for a time, and those who remain honor and celebrate their memories.
"We all have those days where we miss that person so much," said La'Shawnda Mason, a senior biology major organizing this year's festivities through the Center for Diversity and Social Justice (CDSJ). "I always feel like [the Day of the Dead] is like, 'They're coming to see me!'"
This year's Day of the Dead Festival at CWU falls on Nov. 3 and will start with a procession from the Barge Hall courtyard to the SURC. In the SURC there will be a final Aztec dance followed by family-friendly events in the Pit and Ballroom.
The sights and sounds of the Day of the Dead celebrations are living embodiments of the history of Mexico and its people. The celebrations are cultural rituals that have been kept alive for generations—predating and enduring Spanish arrival, colonization and Catholicization.
It was the Catholic's attempt to convert the indigenous population that resulted in tying the celebrations to All Saints' Day. This proximity on the calendar to Halloween—a holiday not celebrated in Mexico—has led to a mistaken linking of the two in the minds of some.
"They're just not related," said Veronica Gomez-Vilchis, a diversity officer with the CDSJ.
Where Halloween has its roots in a Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest—during which offerings were put out to ward off mischievous fairies—and has evolved into a time for all things terrifying, the Day of the Dead has only ever been a time of celebration.
"It's a positive thing," Gomez-Vilchis said. "The mourning has already passed."
The holiday includes many methods of remem
brance, including pictures carried in the procession, brightly decorated cemeteries and the altars, which are layered to represent the journey taken by the dead.
Loved ones decorate the altars with sugar skulls, marigolds, pictures, candles and the dead's favorite things.
"If grandpa liked cigars, put cigars on there too," Mason said.
Getting ready for the visiting spirits means including some more practical items in the altar decorations as well.
"You have the favorite foods, the favorite drinks, you have a chair, normally, next to it, because the spirits come and have a seat," Gomez-Vilchis said, "And you have water, because they're thirsty: it's a long journey."
On campus, the way most people can celebrate the visiting spirits of their dead loved ones is by carrying pictures in the procession.
"As long as anyone's living in the photo make sure you cover [their faces]," Mason said. "You don't wanna jinx them!"
At the end of the procession, in the SURC, will be a large altar with a life-sized La Catrina, the skeleton woman who has become an iconic symbol for the Day of the Dead, as well as a sand tapestry.
The altar will be dedicated to those lost in the September earthquake, which hit central Mexico and cost 370 lives. It will be accompanied by the La Catrina, a symbol which was created by Jose Guadalupe Posada more than a century ago.
Posada was a political artist during the Mexican Revolution and created La Catrina as a satire of Mexican natives abandoning their traditions in favor of those of the European aristocracy. It has since been embraced by Mexicans and become synonymous with Day of the Dead celebrations.
Fulgencio Lazo, a Seattle-based artist who was born in the southwestern Mexican state of Oaxaca, will be creating the sand tapestry. He has a distinct style which draws heavily from his cultural background, and he is especially passionate about creating pieces celebrating the Day of the Dead.
In addition to these decorations there will be activities open to the community. Tables will be set up in the ballroom for making sugar skulls, God's eyes, marigolds and Day of the Dead bags; for face painting, as well as a photo booth.
The festivities in the SURC will be set into motion by one final performance by the Aztec dancers, taught by Roberto Chavez Garcia and Angelena Ramirez Ascencio. They come here to pass on their knowledge and appreciation of Mexican culture and tradition to the next generation, a dance group which includes Gabriela Michel, a freshman pre-nursing major.
"We dance on the Day of the Dead to connect with our ancestors," Michel said.
Though they practice on linoleum floor under florescent light and a dropped ceiling, they spell out the history of Mexican culture with their feet. Directed in unison by the insistent beat of a single drum, the dancers spin, pace and kick. They form an expanding and contracting circle, steps changing with the drumbeat. As they move, their modern street clothes, sweatpants and sneakers become traditional Aztec garb, transformed by the dance and the music, bringing ancient traditions vibrantly back to life.

10.45 am: Indian Navy's Vice Admiral Bedi said that around 4-5 terrorists are still holed up inside the hotel, along with 40 hostages.
Earlier, at around 7.30 am, minutes after the NSG commandoes entered, fresh firing was heard as reports claimed that NSG commandos have already reached the upper storeys of the hotel.
Of the hostages, some are feared to be foreigners. The NSG team is also looking to evacuate as many people as possible to minimise causalities.
A bomb has been diffused that was found this morning near Taj. Fire and smoke is still seen billowing from the hotel as firemen struggled hard to rescue over 100 people still trapped inside. While NSG operation was on in the old building, fire brigade personnel were trying to douse fire in the new wing.
Curfew has been clamped around Taj and at Gateway of India.
Meanwhile, a suspected terrorist is being interrogated, who was held this morning. He is said to be associated with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), a militant group based in Pakistan.
The recent reports claim that firing is still on at the Nariman House.
The commandoes have also reached Trident Hotel (formerly Oberoi) in South Mumbai to flush out terrorists holed up there. A fresh blast has been heard from the hotel.
Terrorists have, reportedly, positioned themselves on the 19th floor of the Oberoi hotel.
According to reports, six terrorists have been killed until now, two each in Taj, Girgaon and Oberoi.
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh said five police officers including Anti-Terror Squad chief Hemant Karkare were killed in one of the worst terror strikes in the country's financial capital that in all claimed the lives of at least 16 police personnel.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil said that there was not any intelligence on the incident. According to Patil, nine suspected terrorists have been arrested.
Little known Deccan Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for the terror strikes in e-mails sent to some media organisations.
Schools and colleges across the metropolis will remain closed today.
In the wake of the attacks, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will stay closed. Home Minister Shivraj Patil arrived in Mumbai in the wee hours in the wake of deadly overnight terror attacks.

'Beat meltdown heat in India'
Posted November 26, 2008on:
Coming to terms with a job loss or have a home loan you can't pay? Come to India to find peace. This is tourism minister Ambika Soni's prescription for those who have burnt their fingers in the global meltdown.
So, could India be the destination for meltdown tourism? Speaking in a lighter vein, Soni said, "When things look down…in financial crisis, people turn to God." She added that the country had destinations which included world famous temples and churches combined with nature cures like ayurveda, yoga and ancient healing practices that the ministry was keen on promoting.
India received 5.08 million foreign tourists in 2007, a growth of 14.2% over 2006. The rate has surpassed the world growth figure of 6.6% and that of Asia-Pacific region of 10.4%. Maintaining this growth, however, is a challenge that the administration is aware of. "It is a challenge but we see no reason to revise our target of 10 million tourists by 2010," Soni said, speaking at the Economic Editors conference on Tuesday.
The government is hoping to position India as a wellness centre where tourists can enjoy ayurveda, yoga, siddha and naturopathy along with spiritual philosophy that will leave them "physically healed, spiritually enriched and mentally rejuvenated".
In a bid to think out-of-the-box, the ministry is also shifting its focus from the US and the UK to West Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asian markets. But with costs rising across the board, the travel industry has presented a fairly gloomy picture. Industry forecasts say that foreign tourist arrivals may be down by half if India's economic growth rate falls to 7% and global growth rate comes down to 3.2%.
To keep prices affordable in difficult circumstances is an uphill task. "We are pushing budget accommodation like homestays and tents aggressively across the country to provide people with products that suit every pocket," Soni said.
A stunning display of form both with bat and ball by all-rounder Yuvraj Singh gave India a 2-0 lead in the seven-match series as Team India defeated England by 54 runs in the second One-Day International at the Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground in Indore on Monday.
Chasing a target of 293 to win, the entire English team were bowled out for just 238 runs in 47 overs; Kevin Pietersen (33), Andrew Flintoff (43) and Owais Shah (58) raised some hope, but Indian spinners
For India, the star of the day was Yuvraj Singh who first smashed a scintillating 118 runs and then rolled his arm as a left-arm spinner to pick up 4/28 including the wickets of Flintoff, Pietersen and Shah.

The people of Jharkhand are not happy with the move of the Maharashtra Government in banning the screening of Deshdrohi in the state for two months. Lok Janshakti Party activists protested against the ban of Deshdrohi and disrupted the screening of Hindi films in Ranchi yesterday.
The protesters shouted slogans demanding ban of Bollywood films in the state until the Maharashtra Government lifts the ban on the screening of Deshdrohi. They also shouted slogans against Raj Thackeray, Chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and tore the posters of Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi. They urged the managers of cinema halls to stop screening Bollywood films.
Around 24 LJP workers were arrested by the police following the disturbances but were released later. However, LJP leader Jitender Singh warned that his party activists would continue to disturb the screening of Bollywood films in the state till the ban on Deshdrohi is lifted.
The Government of Maharashtra has banned the screening of Deshdrohi in the state fearing that its theme would bring about breakdown of law and order in the state. Deshdrohi produced by Bhojpuri actor Kamaal Khan deals with the injustice and discrimination meted out to the North Indians in Mumbai. However, it has turned very controversial following the campaign started by MNS leader Raj Thackeray against the North Indians staying in Mumbai city.
This controversial film directed by Jagdish Sharma features actors like Gracy Singh, Kim Sharma, Kamaal Khan, Aman Verma, Ranjit, Kader Khan, Raza Mura and Manoj Tiwari. It is releasing today.
India win Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-0, Australia's worst test series defeat since 1989
Posted November 11, 2008on:
India crushed Australia by 172 runs on the final day of the fourth and final test match in Nagpur to hand the world champions their worst test series defeat since 1989.
Set with an imposing target of 382 runs for a series-squaring victory, the Australians lost their nerves and were bowled out for 209 runs post-lunch with leg spinner Amit Mishra and off spinner Harbhajan Singh sharing seven wickets between themselves.
The victory was sweet for India as it was the sub-continent nation's first test series win against top-ranked Australia in 7 years.
"This is more important than the India-Pakistan rivalry. We had motivation, we had plans, the best part was we executed them very well," India's new test captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said after the match was over. "The victory is very important for the team and everybody. Everybody was looking up to this series."
"The fast bowlers did the trick for us in the series. They bowled their hearts out and were backed by the spinners and part-time bowlers. All the bowlers shared responsibility. It was an outstanding team effort," he said.
With this victory, Dhoni has won three test matches as captain in a row.
Pacer Ishant Sharma picked up two quick wickets on the final day, scalping first-innings centurion Simon Katich (16) and Michael Clarke (22).
Thereafter, India made merry with Harbhajan taking four wickets and Mishra three, as the tourists dramatically lost their nerves and the last seven wickets for 59 runs.
Australia's sole hope was veteran batsman Matthew Hayden who scored 77 runs at a healthy pace but he could do little to avoid the Australian collapse.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting accepted defeat gracefully, saying his team was beaten fair and square.

The historical Namakkal fort in the town wears a new look with the conservation and restoration works taken up by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) nearing completion.
The ASI had taken up the conservation of the entire fort wall and old structures inside the fort at an estimated cost of Rs. 16 lakh.
The entire fort wall has been restored to its original grandeur. The workers have used lime, sand, gallnut, jaggery and a variety of traditional materials for the restoration work. "The fort is an important tourist attraction in the district. Apart from protecting the monument, the restoration work will help attract more tourists and promote its historical interest," ASI officials say.
As part of the work, the ASI also improved the two tanks constructed inside the fort to harvest rainwater.
A handrail was installed along the steps leading to the fort on the rocky surface last year, officials added.
The fort, built by the Madurai Nayakas and declared as a monument of national importance, also gets a large number of devotees.
Those who offer prayers at the famous Sri Anganeyar Temple also visit the fort as it houses Sri Varadaraja Perumal Temple. The fort also has a mosque. People in the town celebrate the monument as a symbol promoting communal harmony.

WASHINGTON – Americans emphatically elected Democrat Barack Obama as their first black president on Tuesday, in a transformational election which will reshape US politics and the US role on the world stage.
"Tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America," Obama told a euphoric crowd of 240,000 tearful supporters after defeating Republican John McCain.
Obama, 47, will be inaugurated the 44th US president on January 20, 2009, and inherit an economy mired in the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a nuclear showdown with Iran.
Obama's win was greeted with euphoria by a vast crowd gathered in his home city of Chicago, as his supporters screamed and waved American flags as they waited for him to arrive to deliver his victory speech.
New York's Times Square exploded in joy at a moment of healing for America's racial scars, a huge crowd gathered outside the White House and the result immediately reverberated around the world.
"The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep, we may not get there in one year or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there," Obama said in Chicago.
"I promise you — we as a people will get there."
Democrats also made huge strides in Congress, and will hold an unshakeable monopoly in power in Washington after a rare generational and political realignment.
After a bilious campaign, McCain was gracious in defeat, and noted that Obama's election was a moment to cherish for African Americans.
"The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honour of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love," he said.
"Though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours," he told a crowd of supporters in Phoenix in his home state of Arizona.
President George W. Bush who has steered his country through eight turbulent years also congratulated Obama.
"Mr President-elect, congratulations to you," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino quoted the president as saying in a phone call to Obama.
"What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride."
Obama's historic inauguration will complete a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of US and global politics from national obscurity just four years ago and close an eight-year era of turbulence under President George W. Bush.
Chanting and shouting their delight at Obama's historic win, hundreds of young demonstrators flooded the avenue in front of the White House late Tuesday.
Many in the crowd — chiefly students from Washington-area universities — waved red, white, and blue balloons, others pushed their Obama campaign signs to the sky, most chanted Obama's name, his "yes, we can" slogan, or "USA! USA!"
Early on Tuesday, he captured the state of Pennsylvania, the key battleground which McCain needed to win to keep his long-shot hopes of victory alive.
And in a sweet moment for Democrats, he also seized the midwestern battleground states of Ohio, Iowa and Indiana as well as the southwestern state of New Mexico, all states won by Bush in 2004 to close McCain's possible route to the presidency.
He later added Virginia, which had not voted Democrat since 1964. He also won Florida, ground zero of the 2000 recount debacle.
So far Obama had won 28 states including the district of Columbia for 349 electoral votes. McCain had won 20 states but had not broken out of the Republican heartland and the south for 159 electoral votes.
In the Senate, Democrats wrested control of five Republican seats including in the traditionally Republican state of Virginia, followed by New Hampshire, North Carolina and New Mexico.
Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell clung on, meaning that Democrats were highly unlikely to win the 60 seats they need in the 100-seat chamber needed to frustrate Republican obstruction tactics.
Among the Republican casualties was Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina, wife of former Senate majority leader and defeated 1996 presidential nominee Bob Dole.
In Mogadishu, Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed voiced hope that US president-elect Barack Obama would help end conflict in the world, including in his lawless Horn of Africa nation. "I am congratulating Barack Obama for his election as the president of United States of America," Yusuf said in a statement released by his spokesman.
Prominent Iranian MP Hamid Reza Haji Babai on Wednesday welcomed the US presidential victory of Democrat Barack Obama as an "opportunity and test," with Iran now "waiting for that change." "The election of Obama over (Republican candidate John) McCain is positive," Haji Babai told AFP.
The world's media on Wednesday hailed Barack Obama's election as the first black president as a major milestone in US history, saying it offered a chance to restore America's standing.
While the result came too late for morning newspapers in Asia, China's evening dailies splashed with photos of a beaming Obama, with the Legal Evening News proclaiming him as "the first black American president".
Major US newspapers said Obama must seize the opportunity to reverse some of the damage wrought by Bush to America's reputation.
Iraq on Wednesday ruled out a "quick disengagement" policy by Washington in the country following Barack Obama's victory, dispelling hopes of many Iraqis of a rapid withdrawal of US troops.
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari welcomed the election of Democrat Obama and said he did not expect an "overnight" change in US policy in war-torn Iraq.
World leaders hailed Obama's triumph as the start of a new era but there were also calls for the global superpower to change the way it does business.
Former South African President Nelson Mandela on Wednesday praised Barack Obama's victory in the US presidential election and urged him to fight poverty and disease throughout the world.
"Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place," the anti-apartheid icon wrote to Obama in a letter released by the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
"We note and applaud your commitment to supporting the cause of peace and security around the world."

In my world, there are several given truths that are damn near guaranteed to take place: In about a month, the temperature will fall; the leaves will change color and drop to the ground; I'll go fishing during the day and wear my ski boots that night while watching postseason baseball; it's going to snow soon afterward; and I will be wearing a hat—every single day for the next six months.
Hats are pretty much mandatory during the winter, and a lot of us wear them year round. They are also very personal, meaning you don't need me to tell you what to doff on your dome. You probably already know that good hats are hard to find. Once you find one that fits, you wear the hell out of it. It becomes part of you: the sweat stains, the dirt smudges, the rim of fabric around your noggin forming perfectly to your own personal specs. I always get a little sad knowing that a favorite hat is on its way out, mostly because it means I have to start the search for a new one.
If you are like me (live in or travel frequently to the mountains, and prefers a hat with a brim for sun/rain/snow protection), the Stormy Kromer could be this piece. Part ball cap, part railroad hat, part hunter/fishing cap, the Original is a six-panel, hand-stitched dome piece made of a wool, nylon, and cotton. It's warm and very comfortable. Because it's flexible without losing its shape, I often store it in my backpack while I ski, then wear it at the bar or during the bus ride home.
Like all Kromers, it is made by hand at a factory in Ironwood, Michigan (though it was originally from Wisconsin). This look has stayed much the same over more than 100 years. The story goes that in 1903, George "Stormy" Kromer—a semi-pro baseball player and railroad worker with a short temper (hence the "Stormy" moniker)—lost his hat in a strong gust of wind on a train. Man, was he pissed. Upon returning home, he asked his wife, Ida, to sew a new hat with a higher crown and adjustable ear band for warmth.
And thus, the Stormy Kromer was born, and it became a known look among railroaders for half a century. After the railroad industry slowed down in the 1950s, the company expanded its product line, which now includes women's hats and apparel. What has remained is the Original—a good hat for those days when the one guarantee is that it's going to be cold.

At last we leave the safety of the shallow end of the budget knowledge pool, and dive into deeper waters that require a comfortability with the basics to tread. Consider videos four through six of this series from PolicyBEST a bit more advanced and hitting at a deeper level for discussion here at GeorgiaPol.
Georgia has been fortunate over the past few years of recovery that our revenues have been increasing. Many activists and even a few legislators have taken to calling this year over year increase a "surplus". That's not exactly correct. Expenses go up from year to year with both population growth and with inflation. If Georgia pays a fixed amount per student to local school districts under QBE, and the number of students go up, then the state either sends additional money to the growing districts per year, or the local Boards of Education will see a "cut". Thus, some of Georgia's "surplus" revenue is already spoken for just to maintain existing programs.
In this fourth installment of Become a Georgia Budget Expert, we'll break down where Georgia's increase in revenues goes just to maintain the status quo, break out the additional money raised by HB170 that is required to go to the Georgia Department of Transportation by Constitution and by law, and ultimately show how almost $2 Billion in new revenue yields a much smaller discretionary surplus of about $400 Million – enough to give state employees their first significant raise in 8 years. And not much else.

This weblog exists to detail the preparation for, execution of, and aftermath of a trip that my girlfriend and I are taking from Gurnee, IL to Spruce Grove, AB, Canada in a 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet. Sounds like fun, eh?
We'll be traveling most of the trip in the USA and entering into Canada at the border of Alberta. Approximate distance is 1800 miles.
The People
Me, I'm just your average geek. My luggage contains laptops, an Xbox 360, some gadgets like a GPS, AC inverter, and a radar detector. And don't forget, a whole lot of tools compacted into one toolbox, not to mention a small hydraulic jack. Oh wait.. some clothes too.
Julie is an amazing girl who's luggage contains makeup, hair products, clothes, clothes, clothes, some more clothes, and more makeup. And a DS with Pokemon.
And we both have Digital SLR cameras, me a Nikon D50 with 18-200mm VRII lens, hers a Nikon D40 with an 18-55mm and 55-200mm VR lens. Expect photos. Lots of them.
The Transportation
The vehicle that will conquer this distance of 1800+ miles is my usually-trusty car, a 1988 VW Cabriolet, Sapphire Metallic Blue, with a 16-valve engine upgrade and manual transmission swap.
I believe it can go the distance, do you?
The Route
Currently the route looks a bit like this. It's not the most direct route, but it's the way we have to go to cross the border at Alberta, where Julie is settling as a permanent resident within Canada.

Connecting the Stops: Bike, Ped and Transit Connections
By Funders Collaborative, January 19, 2012
Building light rail infrastructure is a major feat unto itself, but as Central Corridor stakeholders are well aware, doing so is only half of the task. Planning for connections to and from the light rail is of equal importance. Can people easily access the line? How do we ensure their safety? Are connections convenient and timely? Are we addressing the needs of the local community? How can we best maximize opportunities to create welcoming places to live, shop and work?
On January 12, Funders Collaborative members and Central Corridor bicycle, pedestrian, and transit stakeholders came together to discuss "Connections to the Central Corridor" as part of the Funders Collaborative's first Learning Session of 2012. The event was hosted by the Funders Collaborative, in partnership with the Metropolitan Council, the City of St. Paul and Transit for Livable Communities.
During the session, attendees learned about transit connections, infrastructure connections, and 'programming' connections to the Central Corridor, including several dozen efforts currently planned or underway. 40% of all riders are expected to use transit to access the line, and 60% will be bikers and pedestrians, according to John Levin with Metro Transit, highlighting that planful connections are critical to the line's success.
While different types of connection planning are underway across cities, there are consistencies in the work taking place along the Central Corridor, as learned from presentations featuring John Levin (Metro Transit), Jessica Rosenfeld (St. Paul Planning and Economic Development), Shaun Murphy and Haila Maze (City of Minneapolis Public Works and Community Planning and Economic Development, respectively), and Joan Pasiuk (Transit for Livable Communities).
- Even outside of the Central Corridor, there is an immense amount of work already taking place to plan for bicycle, pedestrian, and transit connections (Presentation materials with examples are included below).
- Community input is crucial to success. One example where extensive community engagement is taking place is Metro Transit's Central Corridor Transit Services Study, which seeks to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of bus service in and around the corridor. For this study, Metro Transit will expand upon its tradition community input practices and incorporate the Trusted Advocate Outreach model in partnership with the District Councils Collaborative of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. This model outreach effort will hire community members to directly engage their neighbors.
- Extensive planning has been done by both cities for bicycle and pedestrian connections to and from the Corridor. Implementation of these plans is well underway, but it will take time to fully realize the plans. Often, route improvements are easier and less expensive to implement if they are incorporated into other projects or improvements already in the works. For example, adding on-street bike lanes to roads that are being repaved or restriped requires minimal effort to make a big difference. Similarly, bridges being built or rebuilt can add a bike/pedestrian path for minimal incremental cost, especially when compared to the cost of building a completely separate structure.
- Safety is a primary concern across all connection modes. From traffic planning to countdown timers to clear signage to pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and ramps, planners are working to ensure the safest access possible in and around the Corridor.
- Given extensive plans and limited resources, each presenter talked about how they prioritize projects along the Corridor. When asked about how cities make decisions, Saint Paul City Council Member Russ Stark suggested that it's necessary to be both planful (including setting strategic priorities) and opportunistic (being able to take advantage of opportunities as they arise).
During the discussion, participants raised areas of opportunity (where they might work together), in addition to raising questions that remain open.
- How do we fill in the connection "blanks"? For example, how can cities, businesses and communities leverage opportunities like Nice Ride or HOURCAR to help bridge gaps?
- When implementing bicycle and pedestrian connections: what are the essential elements versus elements that make a great place? What is the mechanism to make sure that great placemaking occurs?
- How do we get choice riders to think that they are a part of transit?
- How do we change the conversation to think about how much cars cost versus what transit costs? (Ex: parking becomes a commodity, not an expectation.)
- Can this be the corridor that changes how families use transit? Can we create an easy, safe and enjoyable experience, perhaps even enabling families to build wealth (eliminating the need for an extra car)?
- While cities are creating locally relevant strategic plans, how do we begin creating a regional plan that can guide all of our work and allow us to tap into Federal funding?
Participants recognized while there are still gaps to fill and work to be done, the Central Corridor stakeholders are well down the path to creating workable and inviting connections that will enable people to access the new light rail line by transit, bicycle or on foot.

Mutagenicity study of butachlor and its metabolites using Salmonella typhimurium

Corresponding author:
Butachlor is the most commonly used herbicide in Taiwan and many other countries. It has been reported to be an indirect mutagen and carcinogen in various in vitro assay systems. Previous investigation has also demonstrated that butachlor stimulates cell proliferation, transforms normal embryonic cells, and induces stomach tumors in Spraque-Dawley rats. However, the mechanism of butachlor carcinogenicity is still not clear. In order to clarify the toxicologic and carcinogenic properties of butachlor, we proposed a metabolic pathway, and synthesized the authentic metabolites by chemical methods. In addition, we tested the mutagenicity of butachlor and these metabolites on Salmonella typhimurium. The results indicate that butachlor might manifest its carcinogenicity via the mutagenicity of its metabolic products. Although the molecular mechanism of butachlor-induced cellular toxicity is still not clear, it is likely that the cellular transformation ability of butachlor is partly associated with its mutagenicity.
Key words:
Acetamides, acetanilides, butachlor, mutagenicity tests, Salmonella typhimurium

"It was too soon! I'm not ready for you to go."
"You have to deal with it," he told me in the halls of the old-school Chelsea Hotel, which we were somehow in, even though the rest of the world was still 2016 and not 1984, again — though this was more the vaguely dystopian 1984 from the film Velvet Goldmine. "Wild-Eyed Boy From Freecloud" was playing over someone's radio. "They all have to deal with it. It's what happened, and that's what people do. Especially people in you position. You have nine years."
"You and Prince were enough of this! Why do you have to have Peter, too?"
"You can barely compare us, though — Peter hadn't really made any creative output aside from his image in over fifteen years, and even then, it'd been few and far-between for at least a decade. His flame burned fast and bright, but we were brilliant, and for decades, with careers going back to our teens, image a flash second place to what we could communicate with sound and word. Sure, we all transcended gender in ways very uncomfortable to common people, but… you know." He almost laughed. "I love him, and I hate saying catty things, but you elevate him with us for the wrong reasons. I'm not saying he's unimportant, I'm saying you're giving him more importance than he had for you."
"I miss you, though."
"You didn't know me!" This time, he did laugh. "I know what you mean, though. A lot of people do, especially those like you; the kids who transcended, you lost souls with hearts easily broken, who feel so hard and strong. You need to put in The Work, though."
"No — just stop. You love me, you want to honour me, then put in The Work."
"What work?"
"All of it. You're a creature of senses, you do Work. You work with These," he held my hands, "with These," he touched my eyes, "These," my ears, "This," my throat, "and This," my heart. "You do work. You're far behind where you want to be, but right where you need to be. Just do The Work."
"I love you."
"I love you, too. I love you like Apollon has always loved you, since before you knew me, and long before I knew you. I don't want to be frustrated with you, though. Just do The Work."

There is no question about it, Tru Fam make a great team! "Sha" and "Just-I" have an undeniable chemistry that motivates them to push the envelope beyond what others thought they could do. They know what to expect from one another and what the other one may want on a record without saying a word. They are best friends and their toughest critics. So much so that they make one another perform the song that he has written to prove that the song is a hit and worthy of recording. Would you expect anything less from identical twins?
It's pretty much a given these Paterson, New Jersey brothers are getting it in and not looking back. As kids watching and listening to the Bad Boy Family music and videos, they too wanted to rule the world. "I remember listening to "Can't No Body Hold Me Down" and watching P. Diddy and Ma$e in their shiny suites looking fly and all. After that, I pretty much loved music."
As Tru Fam became older they began to discover all types of artists, bands and styles of music. They loved music so much that they began making their own in 2009. Developing their own pop hip-hop sound, Tru Fam has reached beyond the normal beats and intricacies of pop music. They have a pot of stew if you will, that's filled with passion, love, fun and excitement, topped with witty lyrics and catchy hooks. This interpretation of pop hip-hop with introspective beats has a commercial sound with great performances to back it up.
Just like at the end of a play, they want the standing ovation and the applause from their fans. Tru Fam wants to reach the masses. They won't record a song unless they can envision a great performance and deliver it and they do just that. Tru Fam wants their fans to feel, enjoy and vibe to their music.
They see the bigger picture and pride themselves in going above and beyond to deliver their very best. It's a complex art, building a brand but this is what they do. Tru Fam lives for their music and are excited to reach new heights and take on the world of Pop and Hip-Hop.

Dinosaurs are always popular with kids. With the new Jurassic World movie coming out in June, I'm sure there will be lots of requests for dinosaur themed birthday parties. These treats are great for parties or anytime your kids need some dinosaur inspired fun.
How did the scientists in the first Jurassic Park movie create dinosaurs? Kids know that they extracted the dinosaur DNA from prehistoric insects that had been become trapped in amber.
The Jurassic Amber Treats are easy to make, tasty and fun to eat. Instead of real insects trapped in amber, there are bits of dried fruit suspended in gelatin jigglers. If you've got kids who like to help in the kitchen, this is a fun activity to do together.
Jurassic Amber Treats with Dinosaur DNA
1 Large Box Lemon Flavored Gelatin (6 ounces)
1 Small Box Orange Flavored Gelatin (3 ounces)
1 3/4 cups Hot Water
1 T Dried Fruit (tart cherries, raisins, blueberries…), chopped
Put gelatin mix in a bowl.
Bring water to a boil and then add to the gelatin. Stir until gelatin is dissolved.
Pour hot jello into an ice cube tray. Refrigerate for about an hour until partially set.
Push a couple of bits of dried fruit into each cube. Refrigerate until firm (about another hour).
Briefly run warm tap water over the bottom of the ice cube tray to loosen the treats. Use a knife to help remove them from the tray, if necessary.
Serve and enjoy!

Maarten De Paepe
Experienced developer
During his education, Maarten grew a profound love for programming.
After he graduated, he was dead set on improving as a professional developer and looked to big companies to help him do so.
He soon realised that the nurturing provided by big corporations was too slow paced and, while having appreciated the experience, was happy to have finally found a home at Adimian where he has already spent more than half a decade.
Working on the many projects at Adimian has shaped him so he transcended his dream of becoming a developer to becoming a full stack engineer.

Dear TBCNers,
Something NEW and we hope you love it?
In the interest of making life simple for our readers and cutting down on all the emails, we thought, why not have a group where all you had to do was join? Just join this group and you will receive notifications when we have a free e-book promotion, or something of interest for you.
We will not have discussions, contests, reviews or other tasks, just emails whenever we have something free for you, to go and get.
Our goal is to sell promotions here (extremely inexpensive) to authors and publishers, who want reviews and to put their books in front of you, the readers.
We are not requiring that anyone write a review for these books, but you and we know, that authors and publishers, want to hear what you think and they need reviews, to support their marketing efforts.
So we are asking that you consider reviewing books you get here, but it is not required.
Just a simple, join and get books offered to you, free, by email, twice a month.
Email me your thoughts on this?
Or just JOIN the Group... We have some books coming out soon for you!
Obviously, you will be voting on this new idea, by joining! The more people who join the group, the more interesting it will become to authors and publishers, who would be willing to pay us a few dollars to be included.
We want to continue to provide this network and the magazine free, and introduce you all to authors and books, you might not find, through normal channels.
