The controversy continues as font-fanatics the world over slam furniture-giant IKEA over its decision to change fonts. Fonts of all things. We first started discussing this in class last week and, I have to admit, the students and I find the whole thing amusing. Nonetheless, here is a collection of articles on the topic:
The New York Times has printed several articles over the past week on the topic. The September 5th print edition had a nice graphic showing the modified Futura and Verdana side-by-side. This is the online version of the same article.
Canada's NOW also filed a report on September 4th.
The Daily Finance goes into a little background on the fonts themselves and cites the 'unsavoriness' of Verdana's origins at Microsoft as one of the reasons for the furor.
USA Today reported on the controversy back on August 30. I wonder if it's significant that an advertisement for cat litter is the banner ad?
Even TIME magazine posted a story on August 28.
Finally, for now, the Guardian infuses its story with a bit of humor.
A quick Google News search turns up at least 345 articles and blog posts about the topic. So, what do YOU make of all this hubub? Should designers be in an uproar or is it much ado about nothing? I leave you with College Humor's take on fonts at Font Conference:

Second quarter-final leg of Seamaster ECLW: All three medalists from Montreux in the actionPhoto: Courtesy ITTF
Matches will be held this Friday and Saturday, Feb 9-10
All four favorites have confirmed their status away in the first quarter-final games of 2017/18 Seamaster ECLW, held two weeks ago, as KTS Enea Sairka Tarnobrzeg (no. 1 seed), defending champion TTC Berlin Eastside (no. 2), Dr. Casl (no. 3) and actual ETTU Cup Women winner Bursa Buyuksehir Belediyespor (no. 4) gained big advantages for the secong leg (Feb 9-10). Both Berlin and Dr. Casl won their encounters in straight games, against Szekszard (no. 5) and Lille Metropole (no. 7) respectively, whilst Tarnobrzeg and Bursa secured 3:1 wins against Linz AG Froschberg (no. 10) and TT Saint Quentinois (no. 8).
"All three our players were highly motivated and went into the game with full concentration. Of course, 3:0 and a set-ratio of 9:2 is surely big advantage. I know that I can rely on this team 100% and I am sure that we will confirm that on 9 February in front of our fans", stated Berlin`s Coach Irina PALINA after first match held in Hungary.
Two days ago German club has announced that Matilda EKHOLM signed contract with them, joining her long-time doubles partner Georgina POTA. Sweden`s player has started season in Spanish team UCAM Cartagena.
French club Lille Metropole travels to well known table tennis city of Zagreb, without big expectations, in spite of having in their line-up newly-crowned champion China Construction Bank 2018 ITTF Europe Top 16 Cup, Bernadete SZOCS. There is a chance to see a reprise of the Montreux`s final, as 2017 Europe Top 16 winner LI Jie plays for Dr. Casl. SZOCS lost to FU Yu 3:2 in the opening game of first leg, while Maria XIAO and Agnens LE LANNIC were beaten in straight games by world no. 9 DOO Hoi Kem and no. 10 LI Jie respectively.
Bursa secured clear victory in France thanks to actual world no. 13 Hong Kong`s LEE Ho Ching (beat no. 45 Chinese Taipei`s CHENG Hsieh-Tzu and Daniela MONTEIRO-DODEAN) and current individual European champion HU Melek who paved the way to the win, as she defeated MONTEIRO-DODEAN in the opener.
Sofia POLCANOVA is able to collect two points against any ECLW participant and that`s why two-time champion Linz still believes that can beat no. 1 seed Tarnobrzeg. Actual world no. 20, 23-year old POLCANOVA prevailed against no. 35 LI Qian in the opening game in Austria and showed good fight against great defender HAN Ying, but lost in four games. HAN provided two points for Tarnobrzeg while Elizabeta SAMARA, bronze medalist from Europe Top 16 in Montreux, has added one.
Polish champion has completed one important agreement few days ago, changing its name to KTS Enea Sairka Tarnobrzeg.
"Thanks to our new sponsorship contract we`ll be able to be more focused on our table tennis goals, hence we are very grateful to Enea", stated Tarnobrzeg`s Coach Zbigniew NECEK.

Mansfield Town
Cheltenham Town
M.Rose 49.
O'Shaughnessy 79.
Attendance: 2884 (211 from Cheltenham)
Date: 13 August 2016
Martin Shaw at the One Call Stadium, Field Mill
Mansfield Town drew their first home league game of the season with newly promoted Cheltenham Town at Field Mill this afternoon. After a quiet first half, the Stags had gone in front after 49 minutes with an outstanding piece of play by Matt Green on the left touchline, leaving two defenders for dead with a wonderful turn, and squaring for Mitch Rose to side-foot home from 8 yards, for his second goal in 4 days. Green had a couple of chances to extend the lead, but Cheltenham were level after 79 minutes with a wonder goal from Finland international centre half Dan O'Shaughnessy who fired in a thunderous drive from 30 yards that moved in the air and beat Scott Shearer for his first senior goal. It would be easy to criticise Shearer for being beaten from 30 yards but I think movement in the air makes it difficult for a keeper. Eight minutes of time were added on and it was Cheltenham who went closer to winning it, when Lee Collins blocked an effort from Dan Holman and Danny Wright scuffed the rebound wide of a more or less empty net. The first half had seen few attempts on goal for either side, and with one great save from each keeper, with Shearer saving superbly from Harry Pell, and Green denied by a great save from Russel Griffiths. In the end, a fair result in my opinion. Mansfield weren't at their best, and Cheltenham look a decent side, who ought to finish at least in mid-table. No side has won both their games in League Two, and Mansfield are one of 9 sides to have 4 points, which represents a good start. Yeovil are another of those sides with 4 points and visit Field Mill on Tuesday in what I expect to be another close game.
Mansfield made one change from the side that played at Newport last Saturday. Howkins started in place of Chapman, with Collins in front of the back four, in the usual 4-1-3-2 formation. Darius Henderson was on the bench for the first time for Mansfield albeit it not fully match fit. Cheltenham included James Jennings at left back. Jennings was with Forest Green Rovers last season and signed in the summer. He was of course in Mansfield's Conference winning squad and our first season back in the Football League. Cheltenham also included Amari Morgan-Smith who was on trial at Mansfield three years ago.
Cheltenham were very clearly a big side who would pose an aerial threat and anyone who watched the video of their winning goal against Charlton in the League Cup on Tuesday would know that in Finland international centre half O'Shaughnessy, they possess a player with a monster long throw. It looked like Mansfield had pulled the advertising hoardings closer to the touchline on the West Stand side. This could have been deliberate by Adam Murray in order to counteract the long throw from O'Shaughnessy and would be one of those "one per cents" that he often talks about.
It was a pleasant, sunny day in Mansfield.
On three minutes, Holman got into the Stags area and it took a good tackle from Howkins to clear.
The Stags were passing the ball around nicely in the opening minutes, winning two corners from which Taft got in a couple of headers, albeit it not at goal.
The first half-chance of the game for either side came on 19 minutes when Bennett clipped a cross into the area and Danny Rose flicked a header on which was wide of the left post.
Cheltenham were nearly in front on 22 minutes. Whitehead took a quick free kick on the right and a cross into the middle from Waters found Harry Pell completely unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box. He headed towards the right corner of the net and Shearer made a superb save pushing away left handed.
On 27 minutes, a good free kick from the left by Hurst was punched away by the keeper. On 30 minutes, Cheltenham got into the Stags area, Collins barged Wright off the ball fairly, and Morgan-Smith's attempted square ball to two unmarked Cheltenham players in the middle was importantly cleared by Collins.
On 31 minutes, great play by Mitch Rose to Hurst who crossed to the far post where a defender put behind for a corner. That was better from Mansfield going forward.
And on 32 minutes, Mansfield were nearly in front. Green created a chance for himself from nothing 25 yards out and fired an excellent effort low towards the left corner of the net where keeper Griffiths made a great save, pushing it away. Stags also came close from the resulting corner. Hurst's corner from the left was very good, and towards Green who met the ball at the same time as the keeper and the ball squirted agonisingly over the bar. A corner was given.
On 35 minutes, Danny Rose shot from a tight angle straight at the keeper. Danny Rose went down in the area on 41 minutes but rightly, no penalty was given. On 43 minutes, a cross from the left from Cheltenham found Holman whose low shot was saved by Shearer.
Not many chances for either side in a low key first half with both keepers making one very good save. Mitch Rose was impressive for the Stags.
Half time 0-0
On 47 minutes, a low cross from Bennett and Green got in a poke wide of the right post.
The Stags were in front on 49 minutes. Hurst found Green on the left touchline and, with a magnificent piece of skill, Green beat two defenders leaving them for dead and squared to Mitch Rose who side footed into the net from 8 yards. It was Mitch Rose's second goal in two games, both coming just after half time and both capping a fine performance.
On 54 minutes, a chance for Green. He got to the edge of the area and fired a low shot straight at the keeper. He looked visibly annoyed with himself for not making more of the chance.
On 56 minutes a couple of long throws from O'Shaughnessy were both cleared, one by a Taft header.
A great turn by Mitch Rose on 58 minutes and he was cynically brought down for a free kick. Ludicrously, there was no yellow card from the referee.
Danny Rose headed down to Green on 61 minutes. Green turned and his shot was deflected over the bar.
Cheltenham made a double change including taking off James Jennings, and switched from 4-4-2, to 3-5-2.
On 64 minutes, the first yellow card of the match went to Danny Rose for throwing the ball away and that after Mansfield had won a throw in. It was a silly from Danny Rose who had also kicked the ball away in the first half.
On 65 minutes, a free kick for Cheltenham 32 yards out was clipped into the area, Pell headed up and Shearer caught it easily.
Great goalkeeping by Shearer soon afterwards, out of his area quickly to clear as Morgan-Smith charged in. Shearer was clattered by Morgan-Smith but able to continue after a delay.
Hemmings replaced Danny Rose on 69 minutes as Mansfield went one up front in a 4-1-4-1 formation. Whether Murray was influenced by the yellow card for Danny Rose is hard to say. However, Mansfield are badly missing the injured Hoban who I think would probably have come on to hold the ball up front. Murray clearly considers Henderson not match fit enough for 30 minutes yet (ie. 20 minutes plus plenty of stoppage time).
A chance for Mansfield to extend the lead came on 73 minutes. Mitch Rose found Green in the area on the right and Green's shot was parried away by the keeper.
A minute later at the other end, a ball forward to Morgan-Smith in the area. He had a chance to shoot, but before he could pull the trigger, superb defending by Bennett who stood strong to hold off Morgan-Smith and prevent a shot. On 77 minutes, good play by Hurst down the right to win corner but his corner was caught by the keeper.
A great move by Mansfield a minute later down the left and Benning got in a low cross but Green couldn't turn it goalwards.
Out of the blue, Cheltenham were level on 79 minutes. O'Shaughnessy picked up the ball 40 yards from goal, shimmied past Mitch Rose a bit too easily and sent a thunderous drive from 30 yards that moved in the air and beat Shearer. It would be easy to criticise Shearer for being beaten from 30 yards but I think movement in the air makes it difficult for a keeper. I mentioned during commentary that it reminded me of George Foster's goal in the Freight Rover Trophy Northern Area Final against Wigan in the 1980's.
On 81 minutes, Hurst got into the area on the right and his shot was pushed away. A good save. A minute later, Hurst put in a good cross which again the keeper pushed away.
Darius Henderson replaced Hurst on 89 minutes for his Stags debut.
Eight minutes of time were added on for a couple of long stoppages.
On 90+4 minutes, Cranston lofted a diagonal ball into the area to Wright who chested down and volleyed wide. A minute later, Pell lifted a high ball to the left post where Wright headed wide albeit from an impossible angle.
Cheltenham could have won the game on 90+6 minutes when Lee Collins blocked an effort from Dan Holman and Danny Wright scuffed the rebound wide of a more or less empty net.
A minute later, a good clearance from Howkins in the area and almost immediately, an important clearance from Collins as the Stags were under the cosh.
Mansfield had one final chance to win the game on 90+8 minutes with a good turn from Hemmings on the edge of the area but he fired over the bar.
An exciting second half, and in the end I think a fair result.
Man of the match: Mitch Rose
Mansfield Town drew their first home league game of the season on Saturday with newly promoted Cheltenham Town. It was a fair result, albeit frustrating for the Stags having led for half an hour. The two goals were worth the entrance money alone. Mansfield's goal came after an outstanding piece of play by Matt Green on the left touchline, leaving two defenders for dead with a wonderful turn, and squaring for Mitch Rose to side-foot home from 8 yards, his second goal in 4 days, after also scoring against Blackburn in the League Cup. Cheltenham's equaliser was even better as centre half Dan O'Shaughnessy fired in a thunderous drive from 30 yards that moved in the air and beat Scott Shearer. I mentioned during full match commentary on StagsPlayerHD that it reminded me of George Foster's goal in the Freight Rover Trophy Northern Area Final against Wigan in the 1980's. It would be easy to criticise Shearer for being beaten from 30 yards but I think movement in the air makes it difficult for a keeper. Perhaps more open to criticism was Mitch Rose who allowed the scorer to shimmy past him a bit too easily before shooting. Nevertheless Mitch Rose was my man of the match, as several pieces of good play caught the eye. Shearer himself had earlier made one superb save in the first half, tipping away a header from Harry Pell that looked destined for the net. It was a frustrating afternoon for Matt Green, despite him having a very good game and setting up the goal, as he was denied by Cheltenham keeper Griffiths on several occasions. Green's strike partner Danny Rose was substituted by Murray with the Stags leading 1-0 but having just been booked. Danny Rose was replaced by a midfielder, Ashley Hemmings, as Mansfield switched to one up front. Whether Murray was influenced by the yellow card for Danny Rose is hard to say. However, Mansfield are badly missing the injured Pat Hoban who I think would probably have come on to hold the ball up front. Murray clearly considers Darius Henderson not match fit enough for 20 minutes yet, though he did come on for the final few minutes. After Cheltenham had equalised, it was they who came closer to winning it with Lee Collins doing well to block a shot and big striker Danny Wright scuffing the rebound wide of a more or less empty net late in stoppage time. The Stags' new look central defensive partnership impressed, with Kyle Howkins making a number of good headed clearances, and George Taft also looking very solid and earning the sponsors' man of the match award. Overall, Mansfield weren't at their best, but Cheltenham looked a decent side, who ought to finish at least in mid-table. So should Mansfield based on what we've seen so far.
Report by: Martin Shaw at the One Call Stadium, Field Mill
Line Up:
Shearer 6.5 Superb save from Pell in the first half, and brave coming out quickly in the second half. For the goal, it would be easy to criticise him for being beaten from 30 yards but I think movement in the air makes it difficult for a keeper.
Bennett 7 One piece of strong defending in the second half, and a couple of good crosses going forward.
Howkins 7 Several good headed clearances.
Taft 7 Good solid game in defence. Sponsors' man of the match.
Benning 6.5 Did ok.
Collins 7 Several important clearances.
M.Rose 8 Several pieces of good play caught the eye. Scored his second goal in 4 days. Was disappointed with himself that he allowed the Cheltenham scorer to get past him too easily and shoot, albeit from long distance.
Clements 5.5 Didn't get involved enough in my opinion.
Hurst 7 A few good crosses and one fine corner. Involved at the start of the build-up to the Stags goal.
D.Rose 6.5 Silly booking. Won some good headers.
Green 8 Magnificent play to set up Mitch Rose's goal. Denied by a great save from an excellent effort out of nothing.
Sub Line Up:
Hemmings (for D.Rose, 69 mins) - Good turn on the edge of the area in stoppage time but fired over the bar.

A friend from America once joked that, if you want to lose faith in humanity, just read some YouTube comments. A friend from Hong Kong also once joked that, if you want to lose faith in society, just read some Yahoo! news comments.
I perhaps can joke that, if you want to lose faith in "Christianity", just read some Facebook or Twitter comments among Christians who value winning an argument over gaining a brother or a sister (Matthew 18:15). Even worse, they love to condescend others rather than to honor one another (Romans 12:10).
In my own observation, misrepresentations, misunderstandings, and mistakes among Christians online do teach us a few lessons.
First, misunderstanding often results from skim-reading or "reading into" one's writing. Second, we can, and we should, still love despite disagreement.
"Unless I can leave off loving Jesus Christ, I cannot cease loving those who love Him." – Spurgeon
This is from the very same Spurgeon who once spoke that, "There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else." Thus, no matter how sure we are about our doctrine, we cannot be unsure to love those who love the Lord yet may differ from us doctrinally.
Third, if we disagree with what someone has written, don't immediately make assumptions about his or her motives or to the extreme, question his or her salvation. Fourth, no one will be correct about everything, and no one should be certain that they will be correct about everything! "Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn't really know very much." (1 Cor 8:2) Fifth, there are many "false teachers exposed!" and "discernment ministries" out there trolling. They feed on attention.
What is done in love is done well (1 Cor 16:14). Let's strive for peace (Hebrews 12:14) while honoring one another (Romans 12:10), even online!

With Game of Thrones and Skyrim taking up nearly all real estate in the heads of fantasy fans nowadays, it's easy to forget that once upon a time, Lord of the Rings lorded over the genre. The movie trilogy was most enthralling and the games based on them weren't all that bad.
Now, with the adaptation of The Hobbit on its way to theatres, is it high time that we dive into Middle Earth once again? Snowblind Studio's newest game, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, makes a pretty determined pitch that you do just that.
War in the North is an action-RPG that places you in control of three heroes: a human Ranger, an elven Loremaster, and a dwarven Champion. Theirs is a new quest set alongside the original trilogy, in which they try to vanquish Agandaur, one of Sauron's lieutenants.
Sauron. Now there's a name we missed. And further along, you do get to bump into some of the series' iconic figures, which lend the game a wonderful sense of familiarity. It's like you never left Middle Earth at all, and you're instantly reminded why you obsessed over the series in the first place.
That the game nails the atmosphere, and that "something-epic-is-about-to-happen" feel that the LOTR movies have always had only makes it easier to get lost in this world again. Wraiths, humongous bird creatures, pissed trolls, ill-mannered orcs—they're standard fantasy fodder, but they seem a lot more special when they're doing their damage in LOTR.
For any hardcore LOTR fan, the new storyline and seeing Legolas or Gandalf strutting about in the masterfully represented locales in the game may be enough to warrant a purchase. But for gamers who have been spoiled by the deluge of grade-A titles this season, let's first make clear what War in the North is not.
It's not the open-ended affair that is Skyrim. It's not the tight, modern action title that Arkham City is, nor is it the testosterone-overflow that is Modern Warfare 3. In spite of the modern graphics, War in the North is a classic action-RPG hack-and-slash that rarely takes significant gameplay risks.
That's a compliment and a complaint at the same time. War in the North is as intense as we've seen any LOTR game, and in fact, it's the first game to be given the "Mature" rating. As you dismember, and cut off limbs, and maim your foes, you'll understand just why. There is no shortage of carnage here, which is something we're glad to see in a franchise that has always tried to appeal to a wide age bracket. You'll perform combos, level up, learn new skills, collect loot, and go shopping for better wares as you progress. The gameplay is by all standards, fundamentally correct, and is pretty fun.
And then you reach a tipping point. Like most games in this genre, there is a tendency to get repetitive. Once you've gotten over that awesome feeling of disemboweling an orc, the action starts to feel routine, and from there, it's all downhill. Action-RPG games can keep your interest with novel features, the promise of new, more powerful loot, increasing enemy variety, or by an engrossing story that you'd want to see to the very end. Sadly, those are what War in the North lacks. Making a shish kebab out of the same ol' orcs gets old, as does following a bunch of new characters that don't have the same depth as the old LOTR characters we've come to know through a storyline that's never as intriguing as the trilogy.
Take away the LOTR name from the game, and all you've got is a pretty action-RPG that will have trouble standing out. It's visceral and violent, and you'll enjoy the action for a long while as long as you don't expect the game to surprise you. If you've missed the franchise though, War in the North has enough juice and character to get you into the swing of all things Middle Earth all over again.

Todays guest, joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast interview, is a man that is a true online mover and shaker…..Mr Clay Hebert
In fact he probably put the move into Mover, and shaked the shake until he got more than most people would have done, because wow he is doing some great things in the online world.
He is an entrepreneur, a marketer, and a graduate of Seth Godin's unique MBA program.
As one of the world's leading crowd funding experts, Clay Hebert has helped over 50 entrepreneurs raise over $5 million on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
He is a popular public speaker, engaging audiences around the globe on innovation, creativity, marketing, entrepreneurship and the future of work.
But was it an easy path to his current successes?
Did he have doubts and fears that followed him along the way, the kind of fears that stop so many people in their tracks?
Well we will find out, as even with all the knowledge that Clay has gained he still found that some companies were not willing to entertain new and innovate ways of thinking.
They were stuck in the dark ages, and unable to move into a bright new and prosperous world.
So how did he battle that limited thinking?
How did he express his contrasting views of how things should be done?
Well Clay Hebert did what all good entrepreneurs would do, and went solo, working for companies in an advisory position.
But then whilst on vacation in 2012, a friend of a former client phoned to say they needed help, and to me this one phone call signified the moment that he had found his true path in life.
She had run a Kickstarter project to raise $20K to finish a documentary film and it was struggling and not going to get funded.
With his knowledge of online marketing, they got the project seen by the right people and saved it. It went from 20% funded with 10 days to go to 113% funded before it closed.
A lightbulb went on and our guest realized that the same marketing skills he was using to help Fortune 500 companies could be used to help entrepreneurs actually fund their dreams and change the world.
And the rest as they say is history.
Well let's bring onto the show to start joining up dots, as we discuss the words of Steve Jobs with the one and only Clay Hebert
Show Highlights
During Today's show we discussed such weighty topics such as:
How he once mowed the words "Hello Mum" into his lawn, which she wasn't happy with once she went upstairs and spotted it!
How you can be a maverick in your own world and still flourish against the grey suited men!
How he bought Seth Godins "Purple Cow" at O'Hare airport on a whim which changed his life!
How he believes that he could lose everything he owns and be able to earn it all back in one year!
And lastly………
How you do not need a world dominating audience to be successful…just 1,000 loyal fans will do!

Hi, my name is Nikki. I am 38yrs old. I've been suffering from Depression since 2008. I also have four children, ranging in ages 20 to 4yrs. Since having my children my stomach and my breasts have been left in pretty bad conditions. I have a very low self-esteem and very little confidence. I would love to go out and start dating again, because I've been in a very abusive relationship since having my children. I am scared because of how those areas are that no man would find me attractive.

International Conference on " A Decade After: Recovery and Adjustment since the East Asian Crisis" Organised by International Development Economics Associates (IDEAs), Global Sustainability and Environment Institute (GSEI), Action Aid and Focus on the Global South at Bangkok Thailand , July 12-14, 2007.
July 2007 marks the completion of a decade since the onset of the financial crises in several East Asian Countries. The crisis of 1997, whose effects are still visible, focused attention on the dangers associated with a world dominated by fluid finance. It brought home the fact that financial liberalisation can result in crises even in so-called 'miracle economies'. In fact the crisis marked the waning of the "East Asian miracle", which could be described as the third major process in the post-war period (after the initial success of import-substituting growth and the oil price hikes of the 1970s) that sought to alter significantly the distribution of income across the world in favour of some developing nations.
The crisis ensured this turn of events through a number of routes. With hindsight it is clear that currency and financial crises have devastating effects on the real economy. The ensuing liquidity crunch and wave of bankruptcies result in severe deflation, with attendant consequences for employment and the standard of living. The post-crisis adoption of conventional IMF stabilisation strategies tends to worsen the situation. And, asset price deflation and devaluation, pave the way for foreign capital inflows that finance a transfer of ownership of assets from domestic to foreign investors.
The conference was concerned with delineating the alternative trajectories of post-crisis development in different economies, the lessons they offer and their implications they have for alternative policies. The initial adjustment to the crisis varied significantly across countries, with an acceleration of liberalization in some (South Korea and Thailand) to grater intervention in others (Malaysia). In some ways all these economies have recovered. But the recovery has not meant a return to miracle status; has been accompanied by significant acquisition (at deflated prices) of productive assets in these economies by foreign firms; has involved a substantial restructuring of the financial sector; has altered the nature of engagement of the world system by these economies; and has involved a setback to achievements on the human development front.
The IDEAs conference, which was organised in partnership with Global Sustainability and Environment Institute (GSEI), Action Aid and Focus on the Global South, aimed to take stock of these processes of adjustment and restructuring, their impact in terms of recovery and growth, the degree to which the problem of fragility has been addressed and the fall-out for progress on the human development front.
Accordingly, the papers and discussion focussed on: (i) How the particular choices made after the crisis influenced the differential dependence on and impact of new forms of finance in different countries and the transformation of the nature and role of the financial sector; and (ii) how this affected the development trajectories and outcomes in the countries concerned, with some attention to the substantial dilution of the developmental role of the State, the growing presence of foreign firms and the increase in consolidation and concentration in the real sectors, a possible neglect of agriculture, and the impact all this has had on employment, social indicators and the environment.
Discussions centred on the experiences of Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand, with some comparison of post-crisis development experiences outside Asia. Below is the programme with presentationms and papers attached.

News From Indiana Reminds Us: Never Underestimate the Power of Nostalgia/
We here at IP are pop culture junkies. One of my favorite shows is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Perhaps you're familiar. The show finds dilapidated homes and, with the help of local contractors, "makes over" the property.
And if executives behind the program are looking for spin-off ideas, we'd like to suggest they check out work being done in Jasper, Indiana, where a nonprofit was set up for the primary purpose of restoring an aging and deserted theater.
That's right, it's Extreme Theater Makeover: Nonprofit Edition.
Let's meet the players, shall we?
First, we have Next Act. Inc., a nonprofit whose mission is to "enhance the quality of life in Dubois County in a rich and meaningful way." The first item on their to-do list? Restore the beautiful Astra Theatre in the town of Jasper.
By creating a "unique arts and entertainment venue that will serve once again as a strong community gathering place," the restoration of the theatre, Next Act argues, will serve a very real and meaningful goal.
Needless to say, this resonated with community stakeholders. The project received a critical boost in the form of a $100,000 matching grant through the Dubois County Community Foundation. The grant will help fund a $300,000 endowment designed to assist in the maintenance of the old theatre. The group will also be raising $165,000 for the purchase of the theatre as part of phase one of a plan to reopen it.
Two things jump out at us here. First, Next Act could have been content with raising just enough funds to purchase, restore, and reopen the theatre. That alone would have been a tremendous success. But they astutely realized that running a community theatre is no easy task. And so they are pushing the $300,000 endowment as a mechanism to "maintain the community asset for the long term."
Overly ambitious? Possibly. A smart move to ensure it withstands the inevitable swoons that can cripple community theaters? Absolutely.
Second, let's not underestimate the power of nostalgia within the context of any fundraising push. Lisa Hamby, a member of Next Act, noted, "The Astra holds a special place in many community members' hearts. It is firmly rooted in our community's history."
Residents of cities like Jasper vividly recall the deterioration of their downtown areas during the 80s and 90s as Wal-Marts moved in and jobs and residents moved to the suburbs. Revitalization efforts need a symbol for community stakeholders to rally around, and in the case of Jasper and the work of the optimistically named Next Act, they found it with the Jasper Theatre.

Living with FSHD has good times and bad times. It can be difficult to express what it is like during those times, but over the past few years I have been working on a short documentary that finally tells my story. Not only does it just tell my story, it also tells my mom's, uncle's and grandfather's (who passed away a year ago).
Facing this disability alone is next to impossible; but thankfully for me, I don't have to do that. Even if you are "alone", you really aren't! There are so many groups online where people can communicate about their disabilities. Telling others about your disability can really change your life. Getting positive feedback and encouraging words is what keeps me going everyday. You are never alone, you just have to put yourself out there!
Here is the link to my documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSTgoxlMvUw
I hope you can appreciate our story and that it teaches you something new. All I want is to make a difference and inspire others to do the same. Don't live life wondering what you could do; go out and do it!!

A retired RAF airman from Kettering proved age should not mean you lose your sense of adventure when he took to the skies in a hot air balloon at the age of 80.
The balloon flight, was bought as a surprise present for Robert Steward by his son Rob who came to watch the Virgin balloon take off from the village of Hanging Houghton near Daventry.
Robert has always been a keen flyer and six years ago took a trip in a seaplane when visiting relatives in Canada. The hot air balloon ride was next on his list – an experience he says he'd recommend to everyone.
He said: "I love going in planes, but in the balloon it's totally different – you get a 360 degree view and the lift off was so calm and serene.
"I feel really lucky that I managed to fly on my first booking - other passengers on the day had been unlucky with the weather and had cancellations. I could hardly sleep the night before, I was so excited."
"Everyone thought I was mad doing something so adventurous at my age, but there is really nothing about the balloon ride that you should be scared of. It was actually really peaceful and the early morning frost gave us some beautiful countryside views."
Robert says he lost his sense of direction a little when up in the air, but pilot Peter Philpott kept him well informed on the surroundings.
He added: "I think I was too busy admiring the countryside to spot anything I could really recognise, but the pilot and his crew were pointing out different things when we flew over Daventry."
The only real complaint Robert had was that the experience seemed to literally fly-by.
"I couldn't believe it when we came to land. I asked the pilot if we'd been flying for an hour and he actually said we'd actually been up for an hour and a quarter, which made me feel even luckier."
Robert's philosophy is that you have to take up as many opportunities as you can in life and likes the fact he still has plenty of fun stories to tell his eight grandchildren.
"Growing old comes far too quickly, you have to take up these opportunities while you still can."

High on the list of exotic places I haven't been yet, but would love to see are Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, the countries of the Tibetan Plateau. One of the best living symbols of "The Roof of the World" is the Snow Leopard. Due to poaching, loss of prey, and habitat degradation, the snow leopard is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
The earth spins around the sun, solstices pass, seasons advance and memories fade. Recording events remind us of the details that otherwise disappear. Taking one photo can crystalize memory. Taking many photos becomes a document. Channing Huser has photographed a specific place in the Sangre de Cristo mountains each March over the last four years. She plans to continue photographing this place as long as she can. See Water Over Mountain, a documentary, in person if you can.
I love exploring the mountains and there are more peaks than I could ever hope to see in my lifetime. Of course the Seven Summits are on my list but, I haven't even summited one of them yet. So, what is a frustrated, wannabe mountaineer to do? You can start exploring any of the Seven Summits with StreetView in Google Maps. Go to maps.google.com, type in the name of the peak, zoom in to the street view level and start planning your approach from base camp.
At first this headline sounds bizarre, but the explanation is pretty simple. More CO2 leads to warmer air which holds more moisture which can produce larger rain and snow storms. While these larger blizzards are more frequent, they don't make up for reduced overall snowfall. This trend is already underway with reduced spring snow cover across the Northern Hemisphere. More blizzards in exchange for fewer snow days is a poor tradeoff whether you ski or not.
Here is the Cerro Castillo segment from Powderwhore Productions' 2013 film "Adventures Chosen". Skiers Jason Thompson, Drew Stoecklein, Chuck Mumford and Forrest Coots made the trip to Chile and shot some impressive footage.

The Creative Seggy: Behind the Scenes of the "JP Auclair Street Segment"
On February 19, 2012 a group of expert skiers were caught in an avalanche at Tunnel Creek, just outside the Stevens Pass ski resort. Three skiers, Johnny Brenan, Jim Jack, and Chris Rudolph died in that avalanche. Unfortunately, skiers getting caught in an avalanche isn't unique or extraordinary. But, understanding how and why this group of skiers were caught is very important for any backcountry skier to understand.
... and now you know how snowflakes form! (Snow) Science is Cool!
As I write, the first winter storm in weeks is forecast for our area. I look up at the mountains and see only thin streaks of white where snow should cover the ground. Snow sports depend heavily on natural snowfall which is becoming less reliable. The environmental shifts from climate change are now having an economic effect.

Spring is on it's way!
News from UW meteorologist Cliff Mass is that this is the rainiest springs in at least 20 years. That's tough news on the farm because we need at least 2-3 consecutive dry days in the mid 50's-60's to work up the soil and prepare it for planting. We scrapped our first three scheduled plantings this season for lack of opportunity and were fearing we would have to scrap a forth but the weather this week turned out to be so much better than anticipated!! Aside from our late March and early April sowings, we are finally caught up with our planting and ready for the season to begin.

My boyfriend of 7 months (however close friend of over a year) is amazing and I believe we will be married one day. Before (8 months) we got in a relationship I slept with his close friend who's is
Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and sharing. In doing so I think you may have answered your own question? At some level you feel a need to tell your partner about an indiscretion that in reality has nothing to do with him, based on a notion of 'doing the right thing' (aka 'full disclosure' = honesty, and honesty = 'good person'?)), when you are likely to hurt his feelings (you say he is sensitive) and cause unnecessary drama. I am wondering whether it perhaps better for you to talk about this with an objective person ( a coach or therapist) and work through your emotions about your assumptions on what it means to you to do the right thing and the importance this is for you, rather than telling your partner about it. He doesn't need to know, it's something that happened in the past and presumably he has nothing to worry about in regards to you and your mutual friend. In which case, focus on what you have together and enjoy one another :)

AMBRIDGE - A.J. Murphy has not only taken his defensive skills to a whole new level, he's also turned eye black into an art form.
Eye black was originally designed for athletes to help block out the sun and the glare of stadium lights, but Murphy experimented last season to start using it as face paint. And the Riverside senior offensive guard-defensive end looks as menacing as he plays.
"The other players thought it was cool and I thought it could be another one of our team's traditions," Murphy said before the Panthers and Beaver Falls (both 10-1) clashed in a WPIAL Class AA semifinal game at Ambridge on Friday night.
And Riverside is proud of some pretty cool traditions. Like when junior Cameron Ninos leads the post-game chant in the locker room. Or when a group of 10 or 15 players gather in the bleachers at Memorial Stadium every Thursday night.
"We like to just hang out and talk football," Murphy said.
Murphy insists that his face-paint designs aren't connected to professional wrestling in any way, but against Ford City in a 21-12 quarterfinal victory last weekend, he pinned the opposition to the turf to make 14 tackles. Murphy also blocked a punt to set up a Jake Wickline touchdown and sacked quarterback Jordan Eckman for a loss in the first half.
When asked about the key to the Beaver Falls game, Riverside's leading tackler from a week ago said it was going to be a confrontation between the tackles.
"I expected both teams to play smash-mouth football and we knew Beaver Falls loved to run the dive play with the fullback (sophomore Cody Cook)," Murphy said. "My job on offense was as a pulling guard to lead (Jake) Wickline and Gibby (senior Josh Gibson) through the holes."
When Murphy pulled to throw a block, his line of sight matched up with Carl Thornton, a 295-pound defensive lineman for the Tigers. Riverside senior quarterback Codi Jackson used his wall of blockers to roll up 104 yards in the first half against Beaver Falls, although Dak Mobley and Todd Thomas combined for heroics on the final play before the intermission on an 84-yard interception return (Thomas covered the final 35 yards after a lateral).
"Against teams with more size, like Beaver and Beaver Falls, we wanted to get inside quicker," Murphy said. "On offense, I wanted to get close to the bigger guys and drive them back. On defense, I try to give myself enough space to get to the edge (on an outside rush). We always talk about the fact that if we can stay away from the bigger linemen, they won't catch us."
As Murphy and the Panthers prepared for the Tigers offense, they knew the attack didn't solely revolve around junior Todd Thomas.
"He's not the whole team," Murphy said.
With Cook at fullback and a talented quarterback in Tony Carter running the show for Beaver Falls, Murphy believed that the middle of the Riverside line - Ben Cunningham, Kodi Plassmeyer and Scott Somerville up front and Cole Jackson at middle linebacker - would hold the key to victory.
Jackson's 56-yard touchdown scamper opened a 14-7 lead for Riverside at the 4:24 mark of the second quarter, before Mobley's interception and lateral to Thomas.

Before I begin to share just a snippet of my experience from the #BloggersFestival last Saturday, I want to just say a massive thank you to the beautiful Scarlett London for inviting me and my plus one along. It was certainly an honour to have been asked, as well as a beautiful event to attend!
Saturday 23rd September arrived and I was soon out of bed, showering and getting ready to travel down to London. I had a brand new outfit to wear – thanks to a naughty little splurge in Topshop the week prior and a pair of black heeled ankle booties that I got out of the sale in Zara just a few months ago. My makeup was feeling good, the weather was nice and in all, I was feeling very excited to attend my second blogger's event of this year!
Upon arrival, I must say that the staff at the Conrad St.James Hotel were very helpful and friendly. The gentlemen kindly directed us down the stairs to the event and even wished us a nice time! The organisers who sat with the guest list were too very cheerful, very welcoming and very friendly. I instantly felt very comfortable at the #BloggersFestival, which is a very special thing indeed.
Walking into the actual event itself though, I must say that the dominating but beautifully decorated table display which was at the front was very impressionable indeed! There was a large Kim Kardashian inspired flower wall towards the back – which was perfect for selfies and taking all kinds of different photography, a candy station to the left of me and even a balloon themed wall just outside. In the second room, there was a large San Disk stand, a T-Zone Skincare area, 7th Heaven was there, Vieve, Alflorex, Stackers, the Blogosphere Magazine and that's naming just a few!
Whilst walking around, I must say that I loved speaking to both the owners and representatives of the many different brands that were there. It was incredibly interesting to get the chance to talk to the actual brands themselves about the products that they had there on display, as well as receive a little sample of the product itself every now and then!
In all, I must say that I had an amazing time at the #BloggersFestival event, and found it very interesting but exciting indeed. I want to say a massive thank you to the brands who were there, and to those who of course contributed to the amazing goodie bag which was given out at the end!

Love, Jess

Better than Perfume: BACON!
The fragrance of bacon in my house can attract every being with a Y chromosome in seconds. I'm not sure what it is about that smell, but it must be in their DNA to be drawn to it.
Because of the love for this salty treat in my house, I finally decided to try the more efficient way of cooking it: in the oven. I was really skeptical that it could taste like it does when prepared in a pan on the stove top, but I was willing to forego the mess and the time (and the setting off of the smoke detector) to try it.
Yes, it does look like bacon that you would find at a restaurant buffet, but it was still good and still crispy... not stove top crispy, but I am willing to give up that extra crispiness for the convenience of oven bacon. Honestly, I don't think I'll go back to pan frying bacon... ever.
Here's how it's done:

In case you are traveling by land, there are quite a few road journey games you can play with your little ones. Watson mentioned the state might revise its preliminary lawsuit, which had challenged Trump's unique ban signed in January. Les makes me need to step up my travel recreation every time I see her post a new photo. Hannah Sampson , a enterprise travel analyst at Skift, says her conversations with corporate leaders are additional proof: Many don't need to send their staff overseas for worry Trump will pull another ban that could go away them stuck, she says.
This fully eliminates having to flag down a cab and having to deal with the tense competition of other travelers who were additionally trying to get a journey to where they should go. Of course, you should use the massive internet search tools like Travelocity or Orbitz. However the fluid legal state of affairs was illustrated by the fact that Robart's ruling got here just hours after a federal judge in Boston declined to extend a brief restraining order permitting some immigrants into the United States from nations affected by Trump's three-month ban.
Because of these services, the demand for these outsourcing providers had significantly grown in the market, allowing more investors to begin their own name heart firm or company to accommodate the rising demand for name center providers. Most luxury bus service suppliers and travel agents in Kanpur and Lucknow provide their very own blanket to prospects.
For example; Invention of time machine can destroy the world or you'll be able to go for a more traditional strategy, like; Time has travelled too fast for America since the day of its discovery or you can even write on simple if time travelling becomes attainable, where would I be going", this method will once more give an authentic touch to your travel essays but make sure no matter travel esasy matter you might be selecting, you are doing justice with it.

Flipping the SL Chemistry Class
If I had to say there was one huge change in my teaching this year, it would be the concept of the Flipped Class.
I started flipping my IB Standard Level class out of a desperate attempt to cover more content in less time. In this process of flipping, I learned:
- Flipping is not all about the videos (but it is the most common tool).
- Flipping will not solve all your problems.
- You do not have to make your own videos.
- Flipping takes a lot of time.
- I actually miss lecturing (but not enough to start doing it again!)
I'd like to elaborate on the first point: Flipping is so often associated with YouTube that it leads many skeptics to say things like, "So you just tell your kids to watch videos instead of teaching them?".
No. Not even close.
Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. — Jonathan Martin
The process of teaching is so much more than standing and delivering material. Surely if you are reading this, you know that. I would argue that the most important part of teaching actually occurs after the material has been delivered: You need to be there when your kids get stuck as they try to apply what they've learned. And by stuck, I don't mean 'working'–I
mean stuck, and/or headed down the wrong path. When your students are at home, and they get stuck, the ultra-determined ones may, but most of them call it quits. Your homework doesn't get done, and the knock-on effect is obvious.
Flipping is all about shifting the type of activity which happens in the class. Students can't perform experiments at home, but they can in class. Students can't discuss tough problems with their peers (or teacher) at home, but they can in class. Students can be introduced to new information at home, so they shouldn't be in class!
One of the most satisfying parts of this whole experience has been talking to my students about it. Asking them what flipping is, why we do it, how they like it, etc. I put together a quick video to show my co-workers, and here's the take-home message: THEY GET IT!
Accountability and Interactivity
As the flipped class gurus, Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams point out, you must hold students accountable for doing the work. Flipping the class actually relies even more heavily on students doing their 'homework' than the traditional classroom does. If a student walks in to a learning environment where it is assumed that they have background knowledge, and they don't, they are at a major disadvantage. Fortunately, the solution to this is is fairly simple: Do the flipped-activity in class. Of course, that means they miss out on the critical application phase–but it isn't a fatal error.
Since holding students accountable is one of the most important aspects of the flipped class, we need a way to make sure students actually watch the videos. It is time to introeduce the most powerful tool I have found (other than YouTube!) in flipping the class: EduCanon.
EduCanon enables the flipped-class teacher to do a few key things:
- Make interaction mandatory
- Monitor participation
- Consolidate and organize videos
When students are watching EduCanon videos ("bulbs"), they are required to answer questions before moving on. The teacher designs the questions, and they can be anything from simple multiple choice (which an be automatically graded!) to fill in the blank, or even free-response. If they get the question wrong, they are notified (and so are you). As as the teacher, you'll very quickly figure out which kids are just clicking through the videos, and which are actually watching and paying attention.
In my experience, 95% of my students genuinely watch every video. I know this because I check! I check in multiple ways. First and foremost, I use
EduCanon's monitoring tab. I usually do this about 30 minutes before class starts (though I am now finding it it to be less necessary–my kids are trained!). Also, I very frequently will have a super-short formative quiz when the kids first come in. Those who have participated in the video generally ace the quiz.
I had only 1 student (out of 25) that needed "help" understanding the importance of doing the work. It was not a problem.
I'm convinced the concepts of flipping the classroom are here to stay, and I am embracing it completely (even though I haven't started making my own videos). My students love it. My future-chemical-engineers like how they don't have to sit around while my future-artists ask questions that are totally obvious to them. My student's parents love it–they are rarely put in the position of trying to help their teenager with their chemistry homework! Win, win, win. It feels great to have taken a chance with this teaching method and I fully plan on implementing it in my other classes.

We received word today that our homestudy and updated Visa 37 is on it's way to the National Visa Center. The NVC is in New Hampshire – from there it will be faxed to the American Consulate in Guanzghou, PRC. This all needs to happen before June 22. We are leaping out in faith that everything will happen as it's suppose to.
We booked our flight to China – we leave on Thursday, June 11. I'm not sure when we get Sierra yet but I'll keep you posted.
Praise God, for His miracle never cease.

In November 2016, Splice took a Zoom recorder onto Auckland streets and recorded interviews with buskers, workers, poets and streeties to give us their perspective of living in the city. The completed audio journey has been produced for buskers to sell on the street during 2017; and we are preparing for Street Wisdom vol 2 to be released in April 2017.
There are many people in our city centre who have experiences of living in Auckland city (whether being in apartments and other dwellings, to living on the street or in temporary situations) and have important perspectives to share about the current state of the city and what could be done to improve the sense of community there. Many of these people don't currently have a voice – but they do have important stories to tell and perspectives to offer. In some instances these people need the opportunity to express themselves, in order that we can attain a deeper understanding of their lives and the issues that concern them. In some instances they are isolated, or have mental health issues that we can find a fuller understanding of, by allowing them a forum to speak. We wanted to record and learn from their stories, and compile them into a cd format for distribution. And we have – welcome to "Street Wisdom"!!!
The core aim is to form a greater sense of connection in Auckland's city centre, celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of this cultural hub.
Please listen to the audio here.
