It's a pretty simple formula this year for the York High field hockey team: Shut out the opponent and wait for Taylor Simpson to score a goal.
York has just eight goals this season but entered the week at 5-1 and third in the Western Class B Heal point standings. Simpson, a junior center forward, has factored in each goal, scoring six and assisting on the other two.
Last year Simpson was an opportunistic left forward. Current University of New Hampshire player Cari Posternak filled the role of offensive linchpin the past three years (54 goals, 53 assists).
"I knew I was going to have to work harder, but my forwards have stepped it up more in the past games, which has helped me get my goals," Simpson said.
York Coach Barb Marois said Simpson has adapted her game.
"This year it's more relying on her stick skills to create those opportunities," Marois said.
In a 1-0 win against Falmouth, Simpson flashed that skill. Stopped on a traditional right-handed push, Simpson collected the rebound in traffic and flipped a reverse-stick lift into the cage.
Senior captain Tori Stocks said she's seen Simpson grow in other ways, too.
"She's really come into her own on the field. She takes much more of a leadership role, which is great," Stocks said. "She's a really positive motivator. It's nice to have someone out there that really knows the game. This is her primary sport."
Simpson trains with the New England Hockeymates, a program based in Durham, N.H., under the direction of former UNH, Yale and Northwestern head coach and U.S. national assistant coach Marisa Didio.
This November she will be attending the National Hockey Festival in Bradenton, Fla., with a team from Seacoast (N.H.) United.
Simpson says the credit for York's strong start really goes to Marois. The defending regional champions graduated 11 players from last year.
"We play at game speed (in practice). We don't give up on the ball and our coach is a very good coach. She helps us," Simpson said. "She told us this year was going to be hard but she knew we could do it. So far we haven't let her down too much."
WINS WILL BE hard to come by, but this season has already been a success for Lincoln Academy. In 2009 the Eagles forfeited a game because they had only eight players. That led to a two-year stint as a JV-only program. This season the program is back in Western Class B with a 26-girl roster under the direction of co-coaches Amanda Armstrong and Mary Martha Collins.
Lincoln Academy is 0-6 and has scored one goal. Each loss has been by five or more goals. What Collins chooses to emphasize is the enthusiastic fan/parent support and increased participation in all girls' sports.
"There's been a wonderful rejuvenation with girls' sports this year," said Collins, who also co-coaches girls' lacrosse with Armstrong. "There's about 40 girls playing soccer. The girls that are coming up, they're enthusiastic."
SCARBOROUGH COACH Kerry Mariello said her team's 1-0 win at Sanford on Thursday can be credited to a substitution she didn't even see happen.
Mariello said she did not see Rose Kirsch come off with an injury because it happened behind the play in an intense game made more confusing by crowding around the bench.
While other players tried unsuccessfully to get Mariello's attention, junior Sarah Huber alertly entered the game.
"She took the initiative on her own and within about three minutes she scored the winning goal," Mariello said.
GAME(S) OF THE WEEK: Wednesday's Scarborough at Cheverus game will be a battle of the last unbeaten teams in Western Class A. No. 2 Scarborough (7-0) has already beaten top contenders Sanford and Marshwood. No. 1 Cheverus (8-0) beat No. 5 Marshwood (6-2) on Monday.
"It's going to be who wants to finish first or second in the regular season," Mariello said. "It's a great rivalry for us and they always bring a tough competitive game, and we're ready … because we've had these two games to help us in that sense."

STF, SLP partner to develop smart city initiatives
Sharjah Tatweer Forum and Sharjah Leadership Program to enhance the sustainable development of Sharjah
Sharjah Tatweer Forum (STF) and Sharjah Leadership Program (SLP) have announced a joint partnership to develop and implement smart programs across various sectors, including transportation and education.
Through the SLP, STF has revealed that it will develop smart initiatives and present them to concerned parties in an effort to boost the emirate's bid to transform into an advanced city. The initiatives will be designed based on the proposed projects submitted by select SLP participants.
Jassem Albloushi, chairman at STF, said: "Smart city aims to improve quality of life by using technology to improve the efficiency of services and meet the needs of our people. By integrating ICT solutions into a wide range of daily human activities, we are in effect making things more efficient and sustainable. We have been witnessing these efforts in Sharjah's transportation, health, and education sectors, among others.
"We are inspired at STF to substantially contribute to this significant endeavour by working closely with the young promising leaders at SLP, the result of which is a myriad of unique and innovative ideas. We look forward to strategically developing these ideas and presenting them to the concerned authorities to make a difference in the Sharjah Government's smart city initiatives."
Sharjah Leadership Program was launched with an aim to prepare the next generation of private and public sector leaders in line with international standards, as well as to increase their awareness on the UAE's plans on innovation and transition into a knowledge-based economy.
The programme also plans to bring various institutions up to speed with best practices in management and leadership mechanisms, as well as highlight Sharjah's economic sectors and future plans. The programme will include visits to the United States, particularly California, where participants will take part in innovation conferences along with a number of visits to companies and research centres.
Abdel Aziz Fikry, projects manager at Al Wasl Asset Management Group and an SLP participant, added: "It was inspiring to be able to contribute to such an important partnership. Suggesting ideas and projects that can help transform Sharjah and the rest of the country into a sustainable, modern society is a call for everyone to take part and share his ideas to realise this dream.
"We are happy that our proposals have measured up to STF's objectives. Rest assured that we will remain committed to our collaboration as we move forward towards the implementation of our projects."

The Garden of Eve
by K. L. Going
- Reading level: Ages 9-12
- Paperback: 240 pages
- Publisher: Sandpiper; Reprint edition (April 6, 2009)
- Language: English
Evie has been going through a tough time since the death of her mother, so when her father gives up everything and buys an apple orchard in Beaumont, New York, she is reluctant to accompany him. Why does he want to take her away from the things that remind her of her mother? Loyalty to her father, however, wins out and Evie joins her father on the dilapidated farm. The people seem nice enough, however, until the farm is mentioned; Then they get quiet and begin to whisper about curses. While exploring the orchard, Evie notes that the trees really do look diseased and she wonders if her father will be able to revive them. Then she encounters a strange boy who claims he is dead. Evie is much too old for fairy tales and make believe, but something about the boy troubles her. As her father spends more and more time in the fields, tending to the diseased trees, Evie begins to feel abandoned and spends her time with the mysterious boy. When a kind woman at the local store gives her a seed for her birthday, Evie thinks maybe the town is a bit stranger than she had first thought, but she plants it anyway. Overnight, a huge tree grows, but only Evie and the "dead" boy seem able to see it. When the tree takes them to another place, Evie must make a harrowing decision between the past, the future, and the present.
At its core, Garden of Eve is about grief. As Evie struggles to cope with her mother's death, she feels distant from her father, and his excitement over the orchard feels like a betrayal. Evie doesn't understand how her father could want to be away from everything that reminds them of her mother. As he works long, grueling hours tending the trees, Evie is left alone with her sorrow. When her father loses her to the tree, however, they both realize that they need to come together in their grief, living neither in the past nor the future, but simply in the now.
Going is a master of words, and her story is full of lush images, vivid scenes, and heart-felt emotions. Evie's sorrow is easy to relate to, and her conflicted feelings regarding her father are well articulated. Pacing, in particular, works well in this tale and helps create and maintain a tension and sense of mystery that will keep readers guessing. As Evie works to help the "ghost" boy, she learns to deal with her own grief, and she begins to understand her father's need to immerse himself in work. The author's use of metaphor enriches the story and will help create conversation between readers of all ages.

Alright I hate hearing from all the illinformed, uneducated, misguided capitalist assholes about how "communism" is bad... and how the soviet union and north korea are communist bastards... So lets get a few things straight.
1) No country has ever succeeded in creating a socialist government. Not the USSR, DPRK, PRC, DRV... nobody. This is because they all were led by the flawed theory of Leninism... The idea that a revolutionary elite should hold political office until the proletariat are fit to lead. Also they skip social evolutionary steps. History does not need a push, Marxism will happen on its own once the internal mode of the capitalist mode of production fails and there is no longer any way for the proletariat to rationalize capitalism.
2) Communism is not a political system... Socialism is a political system. Communism is merely a point in social evolution in which the state dissolves, there is no centralized currency, no private property, and no business owners. A truly utopian proletariat run social system.
3) Marx may never have held a job, however this is because he was educated enough to know he would be exploited. He was born to a wealthy industrialist prior to the industrial revolution, we can now assume from this he witnessed this exploitation first hand.
4) There is no 'red menace' in fact socialism will probably not even come to the world under that name.
5) Countries with socialist characteristics in their political systems tend to be doing a lot better that of countries that don't. Canada for example has Universal Healthcare, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark all have universal healthcare, excellent benifits and social programs, stable economy ( for the most part ) they also have the highest standards of living in the world.
5) The USA relies on socialism... The social programs brought about by FDR are all excellent examples of socialism...Obamacare (while a horrible example) is the USA's attempt at universal healthcare.The bank bailouts too
those are just a few i could rant all day /b/
Thank you. Someone gets it.
Earn it yourself, you're just on the forefront of being the government for hand outs. Faggot.
Whatever. I'll still cheerfully bash your head in with a rock if I ever meet you.
Thanks for educating us. I didn't know that Marx was a loser trust fund baby.
6) There is not just one type of communism... Marxism is just one of several variations. Including Anarcho-Communism which essentially stand for the same goals as communists however they disagree how it'll occur.
7) A planned economy determined democratically would be much more efficient, fairer, and overall better than a free market.
8) Communism strives for overall equality. What else can i say?
9) Even countries with horrible dictators such as the USSR with Stalin or the DPRK with Kim Jong Un and that had very little to do with socialism ( but still had a tiny bit ) were much better off economically than any other country. The USSR for example, under Stalins reign of terror the soviet economy boosted to unpresidented levels. And rapidly industrialized the soviet union. Under Lenin's rule new opertunities were available to women, homosexuality was finally legalized, and Lenin brought about one of the worlds greatest education systems.
10) Capitalism has already failed, contributed to the death of billions worldwide over the last few hundred years. Led to the exploitation of millions just to turn a profit... Isn't it about time we had a change?
Back to pol, no red pilling in b.
>working their asses off 10 hours a day at some dead end minimum wage excuse for a job
>hate communism to help the government keep them that way
I give you Murrica.
>still a socialist
babby's first revolutionary thought
come back when you are a communitarian anarchist because you understand the inherent hierarchy of a state is what breaks communism down
TBH, he mentioned that.
The inherent hierarchy isn't what breaks Communism down. Where do you get this shit?
Also, when you say a Communitarian Anarchist, are you a Kropotkian?
Comrade, Comraade...
So, if by your own admission, no nation has actually successfully implemented communism, yet every time they tried it turned into an oligarchy and literally millions died, why do you insist on trying again?
Do you mean "Anarcho Communist"?
Who says we're going to used the same flawed Leninist/Stalinist ideology they had?
Go suck a cock, communist bastard
It is worth noting that when Adam Smith proposed the system we now know as Capitalism, it was supposed to happen with only ONE rule - the strictest of rules. There could be no exceptions. Absolutely zero government interference. No regulations, no lopsided taxes, no labour laws. So what we see today isn't REALLY Capitalism. Just like we saw in the Soviet Union, where we didn't REALLY see Communism, just a raped variation in that name.
That being said, I am not a Capitalist. I enjoy economic and political philosophy, and I identify as a Marxist. It's just as unfair for Capitalists to judge us for the USSR and North Korea as it is for us to judge Capitalism off of the Western World today.
Hey moron, communism is in fact a political system. Socialism is an economic construct. Learn yourself some stuff
Wow. If troll, 2/10. If serious, go read a fucking book.
But communism is never going to progress it's technology levels to the point of a truly utopian society since innovations go against communistic ideals
>everyone else did it wrong
>this time we'll do it right!
I'm pretty sure all of the other despot regimes said the same fucking thing. No thanks, my misguided friend.
Fuck you damn communist
>the soviet union
>using current tens to reffed to the USSR
sorry but the soviet Union hasn't existed since the early 90s, Russia isn't even communist anymore.
If these people actually claimed to have a different ideology, they wouldn't have gone with the despot method.
Why do people have this misconception? Communism, and by extension, Socialism, were both created AFTER Capitalism and Mercantilism. Capitalism was made for the world when barons and merchants were the wealthy and people weren't much interested in education.
Communism, on the other hand, can ONLY function in an Industrial society (according to Marx). To date, Capitalism is outdated and outmoded. It didn't take into consideration Corporations, the Stock Market, Conglomerates...
So Communism was actually created as a more advanced economic system than Capitalism at the time.
And I sincerely disagree on the innovation front. People think that competition drives innovation. This is true - but only up to a point. Let's take any product, which we'll call X. With competition, X will continue to be shaped, molded, developed, and improved so that everyone else's X is a lesser product. So what happens when it cannot be innovated anymore? Well, what if all the groups working on X were to combine their knowledge to make the best X possible? Well there's no profit incentive for that, so it will never happen.
Imagine what would happen if the cure for Cancer was discovered in America versus being discovered in Norway or Finland. Or some utopian Communist society. I could predict what would happen, but I'll let your imaginations soar.
I can respect that, However the united states is more fascistic/cooperatisitc. I should have clarified that earlier
Humans learn from mistakes, Now we know leninism didnt work. now we can try something new... for example... WAIT FOR THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE INSTEAD OF CREATING IT
my apologies, english is not my native language
Look OP:
1) The idea of communism - just like any other utopia - was, is and always will be used by particular groups to enforce their own view of what political regime should be like. History does not need a push? Well, bad news: if people decide to push it, it will move forward because it's people who decide it's course.
2) That would not be communism but a pure anarchy that would eventually stabilize into some mafia-driven world - because social systems can't remain chaotic forever.
3) Yeah, but wasn't this exploitation a natural part of the process he himself described?
4) Tell that to Western Europe between 1920 and 1953.
5) If a country is extremely wealthy and people are hard-working, almost any political model will do. You think anyone in Saudi Arabia minds that being a dictature as long as he can sleep on the money?
5) If you want to argue socialism, first count the amount of taxes you're paying. USA's Tax Freedom Day is April 21; where I live, it's June 22.
6) There is not just one type of communism... True. Except that 99% of the types were never tried in practice.
7) Why?
8) There's no such thing as equality. It's just a concept, a though experiment. What else can I say?
9) Their economy boomed. Hm. No. And even on the areas it did, it had nothing to do with the distribution of wealth amongst the citizens.
10) There's no capitalism; only corporationism. I'd love capitalism but it seems just as impossible as communism is.
11) Communism, no matter the form wether it be Marxism or Anarchism it is unavoidable. The socio-economic systems are already shifting and paving the roads for a socialist revolution. The political offices of the world are so corrupt and constitutions and laws so old we must have a new system to compensate. A system of direct democracy perhaps?
It wasn't Leninism that didn't work. It was Stalinism that didn't work.
Both failed miserably... Leninism was the idea most 'communist' nations followed which always ended in having a revolutionary elite creating a dictatorship. Stalinism was not a political system but rather the methods of rulership set forth by Stalin

Oh, this is the best. So sure it's MY idea that is that "next thing" the fate has decided to happen; so much religious fanaticism that whatever thought comes to some philosopher's head is the new "course of history".
So much intellectual masturbation while, in the meantime, the world prosaically goes for just whatever works at the moment.
Leninism never took off. We can't say it failed. Lenin's "professional revolutionaries" were supposed to be men of intellect and devotion toward an ideal - able to judge and act accordingly, to adapt to changes and accept the fact that the people - the proletariat - were ultimately the ones making decisions. So it's hard to say that the Eastern European countries picking up Communism shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution fit this description. Furthermore, don't forget that the Truman Doctrine severely neutered any countries trying to implement this type of system following WW2.
Eh, he's right though. At the peak of our technology and social evolution, we have to end up with something closer to Communism. That may be 3,000 years from now, or 3,000,000 years from now. But the peak of human evolution has to end in equality.

ever wonder why nazism is condemned but communists are being more widely accepted?
In Mein Kampf, Hitler described children resulting from marriages to African occupation soldiers as a contamination of the white race "by Negro blood on the Rhine in the heart of Europe."[6] He thought that "Jews were responsible for bringing Negroes into the Rhineland, with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate."[7] He also implied that this was a plot on the part of the French, since the population of France was being increasingly "negrified".[8]
I understand that, But i feel Rosa Luxembourgs ideas on a collective revolution using the Proletariat as a whole to destroy the existing system was a better way of doing so. Lenin's professional revolutionaries have always ended as history shows, in a dictatorship. I just think the temptation is too big a flaw in Lenin's ideas... Its human nature
Please no nazi's, Im not too fond of you people
Hahaha OP is such a fucking faggot.
>conspiracy theorist detected
>implying Mein Kampf was worth reading in the first place
Mein Kampf was seriously one of the worst books I've ever read.
Also, why would Jews want something like Communism when they're stereotypically known for "accumulating shekels"?
inb4 reverse psychology jewish masterrace
I'm not particularly well-versed with Rosa Luxembourg, so I can't possibly make an educated response.
What I will say is this: if the temptation is too much, then you didn't choose the right revolutionaries.
You're getting it SO wrong.
History is not like a book where the action goes linearly from a to b, from b to c and eventually, to z, which is the end. History goes random ways, hits the dead ends, circles around etc. etc.
Claiming that there will be some "final stage" of it is stupid. Claiming that we will "end up" at something is misleading because it implies that at some point humanity will find that "perfect" social, political and economical deal.
When, in reality, even in a heaven on Earth, there are always people around the corner ready to poop on the parade.
12) install gentoo.
I can't reply to this, there's too many logical errors. I anything I have to assume this is a troll.
All humans are capable of feeling temptation. If in the right situation. Thats why instead of having a select few run the revolution and the system it should be run by the proletariat as a whole
I do agree, Leninism in theory is lovely but history has just shown it to fail. We need a new type of revolutionary system. or at least implement an old one that corresponds with todays society.
>implying any type of actual socialist hasn't been automatically sabotaged and attacked from ultra-capitalists.
Well that's the endgame for Leninism - he just understands that you need a transitional government to step in while the proletariat get organised. The proletariat can't revolt as a whole - they need representatives to do it for them.
My argument is twofold: First, there are thousands if not millions of people in the US who are disgruntled with the way things are right now. Why haven't any of them revolted?
Second, why WOULD the average man revolt? If it fails, they have ruined their lives, and if it succeeds, they have ruined their lives. They have to rebuild no matter what happens, and they are burdened with the decision to go either way.
The people want someone else to do it for them, so that they may follow. Revolting and ruling as a whole from the beginning is contrary to (modern) human nature. Not to say it's impossible of course.
>implying killing innocents is the reason Communism fails
Thats not entirely true... Perhaps today thats true but people tend not to count that over time and in different situations peoples mind can change. And thts what Luxembourg and Marx thought. They believed that once things have gotten so bad it would have to end with a collective revolution... If a revolution needs a vanguard, your country wasnt ready for a revolution
I like that last line. I'll research some more. I like to consider myself very well-versed on Marxist economic and political theory, but I certainly don't know it all. Thanks for the insight.
No problem Comrade

underneath the turban
There is a pretty girl who works in the smoothie place outside my building, which I regularly frequent. I always smile at her awkwardly, and finally today I struck up a conversation. Everything went smoothly, up to the point when she mentioned that SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. This further confirms that I have absolutely no sense of people's ages. Waiters in particular. If someone is waiting on me, they can be 12 and I'll think they're 29.

Hong Kong - Smog or no smog
(The smoggy skyline of HK from the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront)
A high speed train takes one right from the Airport terminal to the heart of downtown HK in about half an hour. That's pretty good speed and a comfy ride. HK is famous in Asia for many things, Disney Land seems to attract a fair bit of Asian crowds who have not been to Disney's theme parks in the States. I was there on business and on this occasion had half a day to spend. Not much one can do, right? Actually, there's plenty to do in a short time and HK has a similar underground train system to the one we have in Singapore that I have written about previously. Except that they call it an MTR in HK. HK also has good busses and a tram system. No comparison to the dilapidated and rickety trams they have in Kolkata.
The MTR connects vast portions of HK territory and some say connects better than the Singapore MRT. It is cheap, fast,efficient and gets you everywhere you want to go. I hopped on one to Kowloon, on the other side of the bay and walked around in the afternoon sun, taking in the sights. Partly due to the weather and partly due to my interest in museums and art, I ventured into the Hong Kong Art Museum in Kowloon, they were exhibiting among many other things, selections from the collections of Asian artifacts housed in the British Museum. Spending most of the day in the air conditioned museum, I was fascinated by HK Museums own collections of Chinese art, Calligraphy and ancient pottery.
(Above and below - HK Art Museum)
Now that was something new to me, having glimpsed Chinese pottery on Nat Geo in the past. The outside area around the Museum is a walkway called as Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and one gets a good glimpse of the HK skyline and the business district. Nearby is the "Avenue of the stars" and is a tribute to HK's movie scene. The beginning of the avenue has a tall statue of a woman and this is supposed to be the statue awarded to winners at the Hong Kong Film Awards functions. In front of the museum, and just as one exits from the underground road crossing, one comes across a domed structure. This is the Hong Kong Space Museum and the domed structure is an Omnimax theatre. I didn't have time to go in.
(The Movie Maiden)
(The Space Museum)
I'd like to mention a few things about the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok. Firstly, it is well laid out and can handle the crowds without looking like a mess. Then the ease at which one can get in and out of the Airport. The options for eating is vast. What caught my eye, obviously, is aviation. This Airport has a large dedicated section for aviation, the technology that goes behind aviation, the history of aviation in Hong Kong and so on. They even have a large scale model of a glass cockpit Airliner that one can walk into. The entrance looks like a runway and the interior looks like an Aviation museum, indeed that's what it is. Working models that can be handled by visitors makes it interactive and gives loads of information. To spend time at the Airport, at this place within the Airport terminal building, is a cinch. Full marks to their efforts in promoting aviation this way. Through all my travels, I have not come across an aviation museum of sorts within an Airport terminal building that can rival this.
I have posted photos above and as always, please click on them to enlarge. I'm going to find time later next week to put in more posts. I have not done HK any justice in this blog. The next time I go there, I'll find more to see and write about. And hopefully the air quality would have improved and it won't be so hot!
Foot note: No, I didn't run into Jackie Chan, a lot of my friends asked me just that when I got back.

Wow...Hong Kong! You are one lucky person,sir! And to top it all off, an exciting profession! Thanks for telling us about it...i'll remember the travel notes. The thing is, in a funny way, your blogs have been educating me. Just asked my auny in singapore about the ghost festival and she was surprised to know that I know so much about singapore culture, I was already smiling, thinking 'For that, i need to hand it to Anup Murthy sir..."

Thanks Lakshmi, yes I have been fortunate to have traveled the World, no doubt about it and the very essence of traveling is education as one learns a lot just by observing and being in a different place. There is tons to learn yet, for me too, and I hope I never stop learning. This piece about HK was hastily written, not my best piece of literature but it will have to do when i have little time and much to write. Thanks for your compliments again.

Learning the right way to write letters and numbers
LetterSchool - Block Letters
For children who are looking to start writing their letters and numbers.
The app is designed to grow with kids featuring four distinct games for each letter and number. After being introduced to the shape, name, and sound, kids learn where to start writing letter by tapping dots. They can then trace it and finally write from memory. It features both upper and lowercase letters.
Why we love it
After learning the different letters of the alphabet, tracing is the next big step, and LetterSchool is a great way for kids to learn how to write the alphabet and the number 1 through 10. The four different games for each letter and number are well designed and educational while keeping a child's interest.
For those who...
- Want their child to concentrate on tracing and drawing the letters.
- Are interested in number drawing as well.
- Want to track the progress of multiple children.
Not for those who...
- Looking for more interactive features outside the drawing features.

Game boards are one of my favorites! They are definitely a perfect addition to any room. Here are a couple different ones that I made and sold, but all are available to be made again. I will tell you that I tried making a red over black and it did not turn out. You could hardly tell there was even a game board on the piece of wood. This game board is stenciled on a 10x10 piece of wood and available in a wide array of colors. Please e-mail me with the colors that you are looking for and I will see if it is available. I can sand as much off as you would like or I can sand off as little as you would like. Just let me know your preference.

On November 18, 2015, a group of Otterbein students gathered for a "Chili Chat"; this was an opportunity to share a bowl of chili and talk about the socioeconomic barriers that can hinder success in college. Each student shared a written story about an issue they personally faced, or one shared by a peer. One student wrote, "I work two jobs and still can't afford shampoo." As the evening unfolded, students made a list of the key issues they faced and brainstormed solutions to each barrier. Among the roadblocks to student success shared that night were the rising costs of textbooks, transportation costs, and their number one barrier: HUNGER.
Food insecurity has "increasingly become an issue on college and university campuses and can pose a significant barrier to student success" (Hughes et.al. 2011). Universities across the country are opening food banks to help alleviate the challenges associated with food insecurity so that students can remain in school and earn their degrees.
In response to the growing national trend of hunger on campus and the roadblocks identified by Otterbein students, the Promise House was opened in April 2016!

Sometimes it flows and sometimes it doesn't, which I think I've mentioned before. I have quite a few projects I have started and have struggled to get more than a few chapters in. I'm amazed I have actually managed to finish some of my books. But I do, even if those starts get left unfinished for a while.
A new book I started a few days ago, is going better than any of my previous 'starters' I feel inspired to just keep writing, and writing. All the while wondering if it going to be good enough.
I have to have a little more confidence in my abilities, with each story I start, I feel the learning curve happening, my work improving.
I'm proud to say I wrote over two thousand words yesterday, a whole chapter and a bit, I know it's only one chapter, but I had to keep going back over it to make sure it sounded right. Slow and painful at times but it gets the desired result in the end. A good story.

Two negatives came to mind as this short note was being prepared for first time customers. The first negative, if it can be labeled as such for now, deals with the stubborn refusal of budget conscious or prudent customers not being prepared to pay a dollar more for recommended maintenance work. There are even those customers who stubbornly refuse to see their old door being pulled down and being replaced by a brand new, state of the art door.
But this is understandable. The old wooden door stood the test of time and serviced the house's inhabitants really well. Another trusted old faithful of this household is the family car. And that's where the garage door kind of takes over. If it was not for the old door, the car would not be housed safely. But it happens. Each and every door does have its day as well. So, when that happens, sentimental or budget pressed customers should not be afraid to place all matters in the hands of their professional garage door repair technician.
The second negative has to do with the age old problem of time. The professional garage door technician, operating an essential service but also treating his business as an emergency service, wishes to know why time should be a bother. Needless to say, he may well take his time over his work. This ensures quality craftsmanship and the full and proper workings of all mechanical parts. But then there are those emergencies. It becomes necessary for the garage door technician to work as quickly as possible in the interests of his customers' safety and security.
But the speed at which he will work does not denigrate from the quality of his service delivery. And of course, emergencies can and do occur at the most awkward times. but no matter, the garage door guy will come rushing over, come rain or shine, weekdays and over weekends. Time matters not to this technician and it never stands still either.

For over 50 years, Bloomberg Tax's renowned flagship daily news service, Daily Tax Report® has helped leading practitioners and policymakers stay on the cutting edge of taxation and...
House Republicans are seeking to remedy part of their tax reform plan that could result in higher taxes for many family farmers and other small businesses.
The potential change would allow small businesses to deduct net interest expense, a measure the House GOP tax plan would eliminate in exchange for the ability to immediately write off equipment purchases.
As it stands, many small businesses don't need an overhaul of the tax code to be able to deduct the cost of machinery or software. Companies that buy less than $2 million worth of equipment in 2017 can fully deduct the first $500,000 under tax code Section 179.
"We don't want to allow for much interest deductibility because it causes problems throughout the system," House Ways and Means Committee member Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told Bloomberg BNA. "There could be some low threshold amounts that are de minimis."
But some Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee are looking for a way to save the tax benefits these companies already have without siphoning away too much revenue needed to cut business and individual tax rates. The House GOP plan would cut the corporate rate from 35 percent to 20 percent and the passthrough rate from a top rate of 39.6 percent to 25 percent.
The Republicans on the committee have mostly come to an agreement that there will be some sort of small business exception. They have decided there will be a carveout that mirrors Section 179 for land and small businesses, according to a former Hill staffer.
The details on how it will be structured or how large to make it have yet to be decided, Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) said.
From a policy perspective, a small business exception makes sense, said Alan Cole, an economist at the right-leaning Tax Foundation, and Joseph Rosenberg, a senior research associate at the left-leaning Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.
"There are certain tax preferences that are probably undeservedly targeted toward small businesses, but the case here is that they would be worse off compared to where they are now," Rosenberg said.
Small businesses don't have access to equity markets, so they need debt financing to expand, Cole said. The House Republican plan seeks to take away the tax incentives for companies to rely on borrowing, but small businesses borrow out of a genuine need, he said.
The American Farm Bureau Federation is one of the loudest voices pushing for an exception in an overhaul of the tax code. About 95 percent of farm sector debt in 2015 was held by banks, life insurance companies and government agencies, meaning that losing the interest deduction would harm their liquidity and make it difficult to purchase land and production inputs, the group said.
The group is scheduled to testify at an April 5 House Agriculture Committee hearing on the need for an exception.
Sticking points could arise as the committee hashes out the details of the exemption and gets feedback from the Joint Committee on Taxation about how much revenue it would lose. Some committee Republicans are seeking a carveout that would go beyond Section 179-eligible companies and could be tailored to certain industries.
Rice said he is pushing for a "generous" exemption. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) is asking the committee to look into expanding the exemption for businesses—such as a tractor dealer—that have a lot of inventory paid for with loans or for startups that rely on capital from banks.
"There's more work to be done," Buchanan said.
"Not allowing interest deductibility could hurt valuations for small businesses," said Randy Schwartzman, the Northeast Tax Regional managing partner at BDO USA LLP. Businesses are valued by looking at their future earning potential after taxes, so disallowing interest deductibility would hurt their cash flow and cause their valuation to decrease, he said.
Providing exceptions for certain industries or loans below a certain amount is likely to generate lots of lobbying activity as lobbyists push for the most favorable terms possible for their clients.
"We recognize that we are making fundamental changes with tax reform," Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) said. "When you look at interest deductibility and what we put out in the blueprint, there are legitimate concerns with that."
The committee is pondering how to configure transition rules to debt-intensive industries, such as utilities, Reed said. Private equity is another sector that has pushed for special considerations if the tax system were to shift.
"We are working on figuring out an exception for small businesses and farmers," a House GOP aide said. "Large companies in the M&A space will need some sort of transition rules for existing debt. New debt and timing issues are all at play in the transition rules."
Providing exemptions would further complicate the tax code, rather than simplify it, and runs counter to the stated goals of pro-growth tax reform, a spokesman for the Businesses United for Interest and Loan Deductibility (BUILD) Coalition, which lobbies to keep interest deductibility as part of the tax code, told Bloomberg BNA.
"If a small business exemption gets you to the preferred policy to hold those folks harmless to what they currently have, that's just the cost of getting the legislation through," Rosenberg said. "I guess at some point you have to draw the line or things start to unravel."
Doubts have been cast on the House Republican plan to shift away from a corporate income tax system and toward a destination-based cash flow tax as opposition from the Senate and splinters within the Republican Party have become clearer. This new framework more closely mimics a value-added tax with border adjustments that taxes imports but not exports.
Many trade specialists have questioned whether the plan as written would comply with World Trade Organization rules. The main sticking point is that the plan allows for companies to deduct wages, something trading partners could view as a subsidy. But other carveouts, such as allowing some interest deductibility, could also create problems for the system on the international stage.
"Each time you eliminate one proposed feature of the features of the blueprint tax plan and move it toward the U.S. corporate income tax, the harder the case will be at the WTO," Cole said.

IMPETUS poster
IMPETUS poster
We never planned to make a poster for IMPETUS—a 3-day festival of local and emerging dance. It's just the postcards we designed came in and I said to Kim, "We seriously need a big version of this in the living room." Then Tim Cronin, the designer of the card, sent me an email saying "I feel like we should make a poster of this."
18 x 24" 2-color screenprint on French 100# coverstock.
Signed and numbered edition of 50.
It's seriously a beautiful poster. The image depicts an abstracted arm musculature inspired by Irene Dowd's book on movement Taking Root To Fly coupled with a simple typographic structure. You should frame this. No binder clips and thumb tacks this time, OK?
The IMPETUS poster continues our trend of being one of the best things we've ever designed and we're excited that we can offer a very limited number of signed prints to sell.

So at the Winter series event George mentioned something about the car possibly having a limited slip differential in it... We watched Sal on his one run and George thought he saw something that indicated it was in there. So I did some investigating this week and found out that on one of the door panels has a code that indicates that my car does have the LSD! So it looks like I'll be running either D Stock or STX instead of ST (LSD not allowed in ST). It's only for the SJR events, so either way it's not a big deal. Much more focus on the kart and trailer at this point.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- After conducting a national search for a new Director of Admission, Whitman College officials have selected one of their own.
J. Antonio "Tony" Cabasco, associate admission director at Whitman the past three years, was promoted last month to the top admission post. He replaces Christopher Ellertson, who left Whitman earlier this year to become Dean of Admission and Financial Aid at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
Cabasco, 31, assumes responsibility for a 15-person admission staff. Whitman's admission program attracted and screened a record 2,328 applications last year from prospective students throughout the United States and over 40 foreign countries. Of that number, 399 new students were accepted and enrolled for classes this fall.
Whitman, a private, independent college of 1,300 students, is one of the most academically selective institutions in the Northwest. It is the only school in the region listed in the top tier of national liberal arts & sciences colleges by "U.S. News & World Report" magazine.
"Tony's qualifications and achievements impressed the search committee and those who met with him during the interview process," said Whitman Dean of Admission and Financial Aid John Bogley. "Those of us who have worked with Tony in the past are familiar with his ability to connect with students, his work ethic and his sense of dedication. He represents Whitman well, on campus and off."
Cabasco majored in physics and graduated from Whitman in 1990. After completing a master's degree in international studies at the University of Washington in 1995, he returned to Whitman for a two-year stint as assistant admission director in charge of its Seattle-area admission office. His time as associate admission director began in 1997.
Immediately following his Whitman graduation, Cabasco taught English for one year as part of the Whitman-In-China program. His teaching assignment was at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an, the ancient capital of China, where he taught oral and written English to undergraduate and graduate students.
After teaching in China, Cabasco worked the next two years as a Whitman admission officer. He then enrolled in Washington's Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, where he focused his master's degree on Chinese studies.
Cabasco, a 1986 graduate of Capital High School in Olympia, Wash., is married to Megan Blair-Cabasco, a 1992 Whitman honors graduate in psychology. They are the parents of a daughter, Hannah, who celebrates her first birthday this month.
Blair-Cabasco, who graduated from Seattle's Roosevelt High School in 1988, earned a master's degree in teaching at the University of Puget Sound in 1995.
Other members of the couple's immediate families have also graduated from Whitman. Tony's brother, Vergil Cabasco, graduated in 1992 and works as legislative director for U.S. Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn. Megan's brother, Neel Blair, graduated in 1997 and works for an Internet-based company in Chicago.

- Marissa1986
- 8 years ago
- Wedding: February 2012
Hello everyone, I wanted a little advice as to which centerpiece you of these two like better and why? I have a friend who is getting married soon who made her own centerpieces to save some money, they are 3 arrangements for each table of white silk roses. She is offering to sell them to me for a really good deal after her wedding, and my wedding is a destination wedding so we wont have any of the same guests to see them again. They are very pretty, but I didnt really like the idea of having silk flowers. However she bought really high quality silks that even smell like roses! My parents are driving to the wedding, so transportation isnt a huge issue either. The other option that I was planning on doing until she offered this was renting these really pretty crystal candleabra's (sp?) from my venue that are $100 each per table. Still reasonable but they other option would be much cheaper Im sure. For reference Im planning on having light pink linens and scattered hot pink and white rose petals and diamond confetti. I will post pictures of both, please let me know what you think? My wedding is not for a while still, but my friend's wedding is soon so I would like to let her know if she needs to look elsewhere to sell them. Thanks for your help!
Option 1: On friend's dining room table though
Option 2: On table in actual wedding venue
Thank you for your help!

I am going to be completely honest with you: I hate making risotto. A couple of times a year, I convince myself that it can't be that bad, that I can do plenty of other things while standing and stirring a pot for the better part of an hour, that it's not hard work, it's just time consuming…. And then I make risotto, and I get tired of standing and stirring and watching a pot. It tastes delicious, but I promise I won't make risotto again.
Well, if you don't mind standing in front of your stove and stirring for awhile, and want to listen to music, or take Buzzfeed quizzes that will tell you which Muppets character you are or what state you should really live in, or watch some Netflix… this dish is for you!
This risotto gets its creaminess from pumpkin, not butter or cheese. It is warm and hearty, and perfect for winter.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 tablespoon fresh, diced)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh, diced)
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked arborio rice
- 8oz mushrooms, sliced (I used crimini, but white would also be good!)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (I always buy low-sodium)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- parmesan or crumbled goat cheese, to serve (omit for vegan option)
- In a large pot over medium heat, toss the oil in the onion until well coated. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spices (thyme, rosemary, curry powder, cinnamon, cumin), followed by the pumpkin, mushrooms, and rice. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to low/medium low.
- Add one cup of the vegetable broth. Now the stirring starts! Stir until the rice absorbs the liquid. When it's absorbed, add another cup of broth. Stir continuously, then add more broth, repeating this process until you've used all 4 cups of broth and the risotto has thickened. This will take awhile.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve with parmesan or crumbled goat cheese.

Gary Vaynerchuk prefers "real cranberry sauce" with chunks of whole fruit over the smooth canned-and-jellied kind.
How to Make It
In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries with the apple juice and sugar. Simmer over low heat until the berries burst and the sauce is jammy, about 20 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a heatproof bowl, let cool, then refrigerate until chilled.

The Dish is circular in form with an everted rim decorated with an applied reeded band. The stepped, domed, cover terminates in a turned finial, with stylised silver urn moulding. The main body and cover are engraved with an unusual winged horse Crest. Most unusually, Paul Storr has made naturalistic reeded side handles which can be removed when travelling and packed away. Each handle is numbered, as is the side of the main body, so that the correct handle would be placed in the side slides. This is the first time we have seen this feature from any silversmith. The main body and cover are fully marked and the handles are marked with the maker's mark, sterling mark and duty mark. This is also the first time we have seen Storr making such an item and are sure that it must have been a special commission from a military officer to use on his campaigns.

Crimson Sleeps Under Layers of Cold
I can't help but think of roses, even as we approach the official start of winter. I must dream about them at night, and when day comes, the thought lingers on. So lovely under a blanket of snow and ice. Little petals of crimson that sleep under layers of cold. They must be dreaming, too.
2 comments:
Oh wow...what a photograph! I've never seen anything like that. I agree though, somehow roses and winter go together...perhaps it's the deep crimson and bright redness of many roses that suggest the many bright shades of red we see in winter...from Christmas lights to holly berries in wreaths to Rudolph's nose to wrapping paper to the red of firelight in the hearth (and of course the unearthly red of winter sunsets...winter sunsets seem to burn so bright!) If you've ever seen the movie Phantom of the Opera, there is this unforgettable scene where the Phantom lays a rose down in the snow...and that image has haunted my thoughts ever since. There's something beautiful about a rose being surrounded by such perfect white.ReplyDelete

David Schwimmer And His Wife Are Taking A Break
I'm sure we all just heard the sound of Ross Geller whining "We were on a break!"
I'm almost positive that when you decide to become a famous person, you're delivered a gift basket containing the card of a divorce lawyer and a coupon for 20% off your first divorce. First marriages just don't seem to last in Hollywood. David Schwimmer might be finding that out. 50-year-old David and his 31-year-old artist wife of almost seven years Zoe Buckman announced in a statement to UsWeekly that they're separating.
"It is with great love, respect and friendship that we have decided to take some time apart while we determine the future of our relationship. Our priority is, of course, our daughter's happiness and well being during this challenging time, and so we ask for your support and respect for our privacy as we continue to raise her together and navigate this new chapter for our family."
David and Zoe have a 5-year-old daughter named Cleo.
Based on my knowledge of 50-year-old rich dudes coming out of their first marriage, David is a prime candidate for a mid-life crisis rebound. Zoe was 22 when they got together. That means if David rebounds with someone younger, which 99.8% of rich dudes tend to do, he's looking at the 19-21 bracket. I just pictured a 50-year-old David getting dragged to Coachella by someone whose style icon is Kylie Jenner and who only knows Friends from Netflix. Oh boy, good luck with that, Ross.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a very spontaneous camera. Just working around with it and you will find a lot of photographic opportunities. And it is also a creative camera that let you try, make and sometimes succeed in photo and may be in video project.
And The E-M5 is not an intimidating medium comparing with the other D-SLRs. It has the size of the old classic 35mm reflex camera (none motorized). In brief I love the OM-D system including the beautiful lenses.
With the return of the cooler and rainier days of the next autumn it stays my best choice.

- There are 5V and 12V on the PCB, but i don\'t know how to get them.
- Hello, X220S PCB doesn\'t have BEC. There is a story... In beginning, this PCB has BEC cell, but we thought it just only power for the LED, so we decided to remove BEC on the PCB, but our SMD factory didn\'t get our meaning, so there are some marks on the board, in fact, this pcb doesn\'t have BEC. Surely, if needed, you can also put BEC on the pcb board.:)
