Nowadays people when they do their purchasing they don`t select a product, but much rather `a way of living`. Wherever today's consumers choose to get organic products, they should be able to have confidence that these comply with strict EU rules.
Organic farmers, processors and traders, must comply with strict EU requirements if they want to use the EU organic logo or label their products as organic.
The EU requires an equally strict control system with checks carried out at every stage of the organic chain. Every operator (farmer, processor, trader, importer or exporter) is checked at least once a year by the EU approved control bodies.
Apart from the EU, there are other Countries that have developed organic labelling schemes. You can find more information on IFOAM (The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) website: Ifoam.bio

Katie Hockman is a computer science major with a job already waiting for her at Google following graduation—but this wasn't always her passion. Katie came to Miami as a math major, and switched after taking a class in the Fundamentals of Programming and Problem Solving and experiencing her first internship in software development.
"I found computer science to be a lot more social [than math], and I got to work with people on a team building tangible, real products, and that's why I ended up switching majors," said Katie.
Katie served as a teaching assistant for that same class second semester of her freshman year, and became an integral part of the CSE Department from early on in her arrival on campus.
She has also been a key member of the Augmented Reality Center's capstone team as part of her senior design project. The team is working to develop an augmented reality mobile application for Batesville Casket Company's products, allowing funeral directors to fully customize a casket and view the final result before placing an order.
Katie will be moving to California mid-June to start her career with Google. She will be working as a software engineer in the supply chain division to write applications that help their project development process. It took 3-4 months from her first moment of contact with the company to go through the interview process and accept a job offer.
In her free time, Katie enjoys playing the violin, a hobby she has pursued since the age of 10. She occasionally plays at Oxford Bible Fellowship's church services.
Best of luck to Katie at Google following graduation!

Acrylic polymer emulsion on gessoed hardboard, 12 x 12"
Created February 25 - March 5, 2008, #143
The title is based on a popular catchphrase that refers to the desire to be seen as being as good as one's neighbours or contemporaries using the comparative of social standards or accumulation of material stuff. The origin of the phrase is rooted in the once popular comic strip of the same name created by cartoonist Arthur R. "Pop" Momand. The strip debuted in 1913, ran in American newspapers for 28 years, and eventually was adapted into books, films and musical comedies.
In this still life reincarnation, I'm taking elements used in previous paintings and created a new composition. On the right of three of the bottles is a reflection of our fence that has lattice on top. I could have named it, Good fences make good neighbours from the Robert Frost poem, Mending Wall. I'll probably use that title in a future painting.
I first came across Jones Soda Pop in a Starbucks coffee shop during the late 1990's. The beverage came to market in 1994 and originates from western Canada. The images on the labels are submitted by the public, and if your lucky enough, you might end up on a bottle of Orange Cream Soda, Strawberry Lime, Blue Bubble Gum or Green Apple Soda. I'm a sucker for this type of products. It's like Pop Art meets pop culture.

NHL All-Stars are Announced
Latest posts by Taylor Johnson (see all)
- The Future of Drones in Sports - Mar 11, 2017
- Three NHL Teams To Watch Out For In The Second Half Of The Season - Feb 22, 2017
- NHL All-Stars are Announced - Jan 11, 2017
On Tuesday, the NHL announced the rosters for the 2017 NHL All-Star game. The contest (and skills competition before it) will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 29th, and the rosters certainly have lots of star power fit for Hollywood.
As fans will well be aware, the NHL All-Star game has gone through numerous changes in recent years in an attempt to produce the most entertaining product. Hockey is a brutal sport; when the game results don't matter, players don't try as hard. Therefore, as instituted last season, the All-Star game has been changed to a three-on-three competition. This hopefully opens up the ice and makes the action more exciting for viewers and players alike.
Gone are Eastern Conference versus Western Conference, or North America vs. The World as well. The game is now each division for itself in a four-team tournament.
Also changed for this year is the voting process. Fans stuck one past the league last year when they nominated journeyman John Scott for the game. So that doesn't happen again, the NHL put rules in place on when All-Stars have to be on rosters and if they could have been sent down to the AHL, etc. Perhaps even more importantly, fans are only responsible for picking four players now, rather than entire rosters. They pick the captains; the league fills in the rest. While everyone had fun with Scott's inclusion in 2016, the league took it as an embarrassment.
As one would expect, because of these changes, the All-Star rosters are filled with nothing but the biggest of names. The four divisional captains (as chosen by the fans) were Sidney Crosby, Carey Price, Connor McDavid, and P.K. Subban. The top two picks from 2016's NHL Draft will also be in attendance. Both Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine received well-deserved All-Star nominations.
Since we have three-on-three games to play, only 11 players were voted in from each division. The rosters are smaller than fans are used to, meaning some deserving players were left out, occasionally because of the league's desire to get the biggest stars in.
Jonathan Toews doesn't belong here. He has been hurt and under-performing. Even he was confused by the honor. However, as the Chicago Tribune points out, this is the NHL's 100th anniversary celebration, and it will be unveiling a 100-Greatest-Players list during All-Star weekend. That could be an occasion to get as many stars in attendance as possible, especially when Toews himself might make the list.
One deserving omission from the game is Toews' teammate Artemi Panarin. Columbus rookie defenseman Zach Werenski also had a case, as did goalie Cam Talbot. But, again, with such little space, there were bound to be numerous snubs. It looks as if San Jose's Joe Pavelski may miss the game due to the Sharks Schedule, so maybe Panarin will get the call. Injuries will help to get more players on the rosters and alleviate that a bit. The game will be played on January 29th, with the skills competition taking place the night before.

2016 Kia Forte Koup Release Date
2016 Kia Forte Koup Release Date-2016 Kia Forte as the fresh out of the box new assembling from the last model will accompany the best look and execution. In this risk, the individuals and auto aficionados can't get the specific information about the new appearances inside and outside the vehicles. To see all the more about Kia Forte 2016, how about we review the clarification underneath.
2016 Kia Forte Koup Exterior
2016 Kia Forte Koup Release Date will be arranged by the maker to accompany the new looks than the past models in the prior minutes. Possibly, the creator has thought it over and again with a specific end goal to give the best appearances and execution to be capable giving a great deal of customers and people on the planet in truth Kia Forte 2016 still does not the points of interest capacities and materials to use.
2016 Kia Forte Koup Release Date
2016 Kia Forte Koup Interior
As indicated by the report, this assembling will be a guideline for the business before propelling in the business faster. We have the capacity to inspect a few components used by the model of 2015 Forte, the maker has comprised of a few items at the body outside for example the LED taillights and environment control with programmed framework, directing wheel even the arrangement of route unit.
In the inside of Kia Forte 2016, the focuses like Bluetooth and USB association back cam warmed mirrors furthermore satellite radio with Sirius XM configuration have been incorporated by the creator also. Maybe these parts will be the element to consider for the creator to use in the model of 2016 Kia Forte.
2016 Kia Forte Koup Engine
How to the producer create the best execution and yield from a motor inside the auto For this situation 2016 Kia Forte is not ready to utilize the legitimate motor alternative offer by the maker to show up later on as we probably am aware one another some motor choices like the motor 4-chamber joined with a 2.0 L turned out more than 173 hp and 154 hp, the motor turbocharged unit mated with four-barrel and a 1.6 L which has been pumped up no less than 201 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque. These motors have been matched with 6-rate manual and programmed transmission. Possibly, the maker is going to pick the most recent motor model as the correlation to finish the 2016 Forte.
2016 Kia Forte Koup Release Date And Price
Determining the news with respect to discharge date and cost of the new vehicle is the most ideal route for the individuals, it can make them consider more before purchasing. Taking into account the last models, the business has given the rate in any event $17,000 however it can ascend to $28,000. It is not going to be troublesome for the organization to make the just took the ribbon off new producing's expense tag more extravagant than before.
Kia Forte Koup Turbo
The Forte roadster—or Koup, in Kia-talk—is sportier and more exquisite than different Fortes; its additionally all around prepared and shockingly refined. The EX is fueled by a gutsy 173 hp 2,0 liter four the SX model's 201 hp 1,6 liter turbocharged four-chamber makes it significantly faster. A six-pace manual is standard, with a six-rate programmed discretionary on both. Directing and taking care of are pleasantly adjusted. Dear me, the Koup is no screamer, however it is sufficiently energetic to fulfill everything except the most no-nonsense devotees.
Like its Forte5 hatchback kin, Kia's Forte Koup was restyled and got a newsworthy force update this year as a direct-infused, 1.6-liter turbocharged four wrenching out 201 torque; the prerefresh auto settled for 173 horses from an actually suctioned 2.4-liter. Like the seal, the Koup offers the turboed factory with Hyundai's loco doored Veloster pseudo-roadster.
Kia Forte Koup Turbo 2015
Getting yourself saw among the plenty of passage level energetic roadsters on the Canadian business takes some doing. Kia s method with the 2015 Koup is a mix of value, substance and, with the SX model, execution. The Koup SX tried here was a 2014 model that had been in the press armada for a few months, however the 2015 models are beginning to land in dealerships as of September.
As the autos are indistinguishable, I thought it was judicious to utilize the 2015 evaluating, and all the more essentially, the new 2015 fuel utilization numbers that are the ?five-cycle? test, which are more sensible. So to the matter of value and substance, there are two Koup 2015 trim levels starting with the section level EX that begins at $21,295 and accompanies numerous standard enhancements.
Kia Forte Koup Review
The minimal four-banger pulls the Koup around with astonishing smoothness and straight power conveyance past 2000 rpm. The Koup effectively scaled a sensibly soak 800-foot review in 6th rigging without dropping beneath the 60-mph voyage control set pace. There's a lot of passing power on tap, and undoubtedly the 45-65-mph increasing speed time drops from 3.9 to 3.3 seconds. Dragstrip execution is somewhat less great. While the weight-to-power proportion enhanced from 16.8 to 14.7 lb/hp, taller, all the more equitably divided equipping (point the finger at CAFE) implies the 0-60-mph and quarter-mile times just enhanced by 0.3 second to 6.8 and 15.1 seconds at 93.9 mph. By differentiation, the less torque (170 lb-ft) however just as capable, lighter, and way-shorter-adapted Civic Si roadster hurries to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds in transit to a 14.6-second, 95.6-mph quarter-mile. Likewise important: The Honda's motor note is path sweeter than the Kou

Precious relic of village life below Bukit Timah Hill
While most communal washing points in old Singapore came equipped with hand-pumps and underground wells, some like this rare one had free flowing water coming off dependable sources like surface drainage off abutting hills.
Senapang's communal washing point gets its constant supply of water from the stream in the adjacent Taban Valley.
Fortunately for us, the construction of a new condominium nearby did not encroached upon the communal washing point. Being part of an existing drainage system probably saved it.
I earnestly invite you to drop by here and marvel at the little bit of history we still have. Bring the children too. Perhaps, after a good hearty nature walk up the hill, we can take a moment rest and ponder over its crystal clear water and be inspired to reflect and discuss topical issues such as climate change, rising temperature, water depletion and pollution... issues that are akin to environment degradation, forest destruction and lost of natural habitats and sustainable water catchments.
If a nature walk should end this way, it is a way truly forward in hope.
Direction: Walk halfway up Hindhede Drive, turn right into a small open field where there is a trail lined with sawn logs. Follow it into the wooded area till you see the communal washing point. It should not take you more than 5 minutes.

Hi Joseph, do share the knowledge with others. Hope it will be preserved as part of BTNR education. I first knew of this place back in 1993 when I was posted here in the Nature Reserve as a Management Officer. A recent re-visit inspired me to highlight it. I am really happy to see it still here.
Cheers : )

Joe, thanks for the post on this unique place. In the 1950s when I visit my Grandaunt up the hill, I used to pass by this water point. It would be great if someone can shed light on its history. I revisit it whenever I was in the vicinity and I am glad it is still standing today.

Life in Munich is defined by silences: bordered by them, hedging round him until Edward is nearly claustrophobic. He learned early on that it was better not to speak of his homeland; the only thing worse than the laughter and derision of the men who do not believe him is the strange, frightening calculation of the ones that might.
The walls in their tiny apartment are thin, dangerously so. The two of them can clearly hear the movements and voices of the people in the apartments next door; more importantly, their neighbors can also hear them. At first they had spoken English when alone; it was an easier language for both of them, though not the native language of both. But the first time the constable came around, investigating reports of potential British "sympathizers" within the apartment, they had realized the danger.
It didn't take a genius to realize the other dangers of the thin walls. Ears that could hear snatches of English could just as easily hear other noises, and so they are constrained to make love silently, with the thick cloth of a bedcover clenched between Ed's teeth for a gag, and the radio playing staticky in the background to cover up the heavy breaths and tiny grunts he cannot silence.
Scar, Edward resents sometimes, because the older, larger man never seems to have any trouble with silence. It comes easily to him, naturally it seems; he wraps it around himself like a cloak, and though Edward knows it is necessary he still hates how far away he seems, sometimes.
He doesn't love Scar. The idea is ridiculous, but they are all they have left, each other's bodies rocks against the tide of strangeness, unfamiliarity. They are no longer enemies. Here in Munich, so very far away from home, the distance between their places of birth shrinks to an ant's footsteps. Here Scar's beloved God does not exist; and Edward's alchemy also does not exist, except in the minds and memories of the other.
Now he looks at his lover, once enemy, standing at the stove; the blue-red gas flames light him from underneath, lending him an unfamiliar glow. It evens out the strange contrast of his skin and his white hair, makes invisible the pale dead lines of the scar crossing his face. A broadcloth apron spreads down his broad chest, protecting him from the grease that hisses and spits sullenly in the pan.
Scar had proved himself unusually handy at cooking, and taken over the chore without argument between them. In fact the older man spends much more of his time in the kitchen than Ed would have thought necessary, and he wonders if Scar prefers the heat of the cooking stove against the gathering chill of the German winter. He's never said.
Edward leans his chair back on two legs, to give himself room to turn over the newspaper. His throat aches and stings from so much silence, so he relieves it by reading the day's news aloud; Scar either can't or won't read it for himself, Ed doesn't know.
Edward runs out of business pages and, since the bacon is not yet done, turns to the editorial section. Against his better judgment, he reads one of the opinion pieces; a man is going on a great length, and apparent seriousness, about the contamination of the local drinking water by the gypsies and jews who were allowed to run rampant in urban areas. His proposed solution is to institute a "color check," and expel all others from the borders of the country.
The illogic of the article makes Ed want to swear, makes him want to rant and curse at the stupidity of it all. It only makes him angrier to know that he can't, that such a thing would be virtual suicide if overheard. And when he glances up at his lover's smooth, brown, impassive face, it only makes him more furious.
Don't you care? he wants to rage. This is YOU the article is talking about, it might be YOU who gets herded onto a truck to the border or lynched some day soon, by ignorant sheep without an inch of sense between them? Are you even LISTENING?
Because it makes Ed cold inside, and afraid, to think of Scar being taken away; to think of him being hurt or killed by the bloodthirsty hysteria of the mob. And he knows he shouldn't be afraid, and knowing that only makes him more angry.
But there's none of this that he can say, and he can no more read the thoughts from Scar's face than he could fly; so he stares instead at the neat, smug newsprint words, and feels the silence press around him until he is ready to burst, mixed only with the patient sound of sizzling grease.
One gray, chilly, damp day gives way to another smoggy night, clouds and fog underlit by Munich's sputtering sodium lights. The sun rarely shows its face even on the best of days, and it seems like hardly a surprise when the day's drizzle starts to come down as fine, sheeting ice, instead. Edward suffers from the cold, but he does so in silence; at night Scar's solid, furnace-heat warms his aching limbs, but during the day there is little left to do but endure.
It is December the twenty-fourth, and it is only a date to both of them; for he is not a believer of any god, and Scar is a devout believer of only one, and it is hard to say who between them is more steadfast. Ed is in a foul mood when he gets home, for it is sleeting and all day the streets have been filled with drunken revelers and dangerous automobile drivers.
The only advantage to the date, as far as Edward can see, is that when he climbs the narrow rusting stair to their apartment, every other door and window is dark. They are, Edward presumes, out among the partiers in the ice-slick streets, or perhaps the crowd pushing and shoving their way into the tight-packed, noisy churches. And with a perverse irreverence, Edward thinks that maybe for the first time in a long time, he can have sex with his lover and be as loud as he damn well pleases.
He opens the door to his apartment and finds the rooms dark—and cold, but that is not unusual, for the heating is poor; but the darkness only makes the cold seem more clinging. He trips against the counter, trying to fumble his crusted boots off one-handed, and curses; the noise stirs a movement, over by the window, and only by that does he know that he is not alone. Still here, for now.
"Why's it so dark in here?" Ed complains, trying to make his way around the furniture by feel. He puts his box down on the counter, safe from any accidents, but somehow he doesn't quite want to announce it quite yet. Hell, he doesn't know if Scar even likes cake, even enjoys sweets, or whether he'll think it's a foolish, irresponsible waste of money. "Hey, are you alive in here?"
He trips again, over something unseen by the window; but this time an arm muscled like a tree limb catches and steadies him before he could hit anything. He scowls up at his lover, who does not even turn his face down to look at him.
"What are you doing, just standing by the window, huh? You're going to catch a cold. I wanted to..." and he trails off, a lump clogging his throat. Even alone here together, he can't say what he wants, the heat and the blissful mindlessness of it, the precious moments of relief and intimacy that he craved so much. And feels, more than ever, that despite the closeness he was truly alone, thousands of miles and years away from his family, the place of his birth.
Scar does not answer, but he looks at him for a moment, and then back out the window. Involuntarily, Edward looks too.
In the pale sodium lights of the streets of Munich, the steady, fine-falling ice looks like snow, drifting to cover the earth in a glittering whiteness. Looking up, you can imagine the glinting grains stretching upwards forever, forever, up into the sky where they hang like tiny stars, so bright and far away that you could see them from another world.
It's cold by the window, and Edward shivers. And his lover puts an arm around him, and pulls him close, and Edward can feel—though he cannot hear—the beating of his heart, alive and grateful for it. Maybe from one of the nearby churches, or maybe just in his imagination, the breath of a song echoes through the stillness; and here and now, in this one place, he is not alone.
And the silence unwinds around them, beating on gossamer wings out into the reaches of infinity.

Some 3.8 million plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles could be sold annually worldwide by 2020, according to Navigant Research, a market researcher that analyzes global clean-technology markets. These vehicles wouldn't be possible without the work of various IEEE groups, whose members have been busily developing their underlying technologies. These include electric machines and drives, motion controls, energy storage systems, and embedded electronics.
Sixteen societies and two technical councils are involved in one aspect or another of electric transportation. Coordinating the activities of these IEEE units is the IEEE Transportation Electrification Initiative, which is managed by the IEEE Future Directions Committee, the organization's R&D arm. Launched in 2012, the initiative set out to position IEEE as a thought leader and go-to resource when it comes to technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles. The initiative also hopes to help the various groups speak as "one IEEE," according to the initiative's chair, Senior Member Lee Stogner.
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society
Along with its focus on the organization, systems engineering, design, development, integration, and operation of complex systems for space, air, and ocean, the society also deals with systems for ground transportation. These systems include navigation, avionics, mobile electric power and electronics, radar, sonar, telemetry, military, law-enforcement, automatic test, simulators, and command and control.
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society
Aims to advance the theory, analysis, design, and implementation of circuits and systems, along with the tools for doing so. The work of its members spans theory, applications, and architectures as well as the systems for implementing algorithms for signal and information processing.
IEEE Communications Society
Focuses on all aspects of communications, including applications that use signals to transfer voice, data, images, and video information.
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
Develops software to support large-scale integration into the power grid of hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles (EV). Interests include tools for optimizing large-scale systems under dynamic and uncertain environments, as can occur with the widespread integration of hybrid vehicles into power systems. Members of the society have helped develop techniques for optimum control and optimization of EV components, processes, and systems.
IEEE Consumer Electronics Society
The scope of technologies embraced by the society—once limited to television, home audio systems, and appliances—has expanded to reflect the vast influence of modern electronics on consumer products. Many emerging technologies in consumer electronics can now be found in devices and networks that facilitate the distribution of information to intelligent automotive navigation and control systems.
IEEE Control Systems Society
Dedicated to the research, development, and application of automation and control systems to hybrids and EVs.
IEEE Industry Applications Society
Focuses on the theory and practice of electrical and electronic engineering in the development, design, manufacture, and application of electrical systems, devices, and controls.
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society
Focuses on the application of electronics and electrical sciences for the enhancement of industrial and manufacturing processes. Society activities address the latest developments in intelligent and computer control systems, robotics, and automation.
IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society
Involved in power generation and distribution, communications, and transportation. For example, members develop methods for constantly monitoring EV batteries and high-voltage systems to ensure safety and drivability.
IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society
Focus includes development, control, sensing, and battery-charging issues in hybrids and EVs. Research on real-time information transmittal for in-vehicle energy management, route planning, and energy pricing is published in the society's journals. One of the society's annual conferences, the International Conference on Vehicle Electronics and Safety, emphasizes the latest advances in EVs, plug-in hybrid EVs, and hybrid vehicles.
IEEE Power & Energy Society
Embraces research, development, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and installation and operation of equipment, structures, materials, and power systems for safe, sustainable, economic, and reliable conversion, generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and use of electric energy.
IEEE Power Electronics Society
Interests include the development of power electronics technology that encompasses the effective use of electronic components, the application of circuit theory and design, and the development of analytical tools for efficient electronic conversion, control, and conditioning of electric power. PES also sponsors the annual Solar Splash, a solar boating competition.
IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society
Addresses safety engineering for equipment and devices used in scientific, engineering, industrial, commercial, and residential arenas.
IEEE Reliability Society
Assures that a system will perform its intended function for the required time in a given environment, with the ability to test and support itself through its total life cycle.
IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
Focuses on systems incorporating sensors and actuators that operate autonomously or semiautonomously in cooperation with humans. Automation research emphasizes efficiency, productivity, quality, and reliability of systems operating autonomously, often in structured environments over extended periods.
IEEE Sensors Council
Involved with the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing, and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, with emphasis on the electronics and physics aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators.
IEEE Systems Council
Focuses on areas associated with the engineering of systems processes and methodologies, modeling, simulation, and integration. The council is also concerned with aspects of robust design, safety, security and usability.
IEEE Technical Committee on RFID
The committee focuses on RFID, near field communication (NFC), and energy harvesting technology. RFID/NFC is the secret enabler in the vehicle from the keyless ignition to the toll tags in your car. It provides the ability for the electric vehicle to recharge as you drive. Radio frequency in the air also enables the transfer of information in the vehicle from your mobile devices. RFID/NFC is all around the vehicle, inside and out, silently enabling the technology of today to act like the technology of tomorrow.
IEEE Vehicular Technology Society
Involved with the electrical and electronics engineering required to design and develop the new breed of hybrids and EVs. To get its members up to speed, the society has developed a series of DVDs based on lectures at various venues given by experts from the automotive industry and academia. The DVDs cover the design of circuits, power electronics, propulsion batteries, and motors, as well as requirements for vehicular emissions, performance, and durability.

This is the last scream in the nail art industry- 4D gel or plastiline.
It`s very fun to work wih it and here is the first design I made on different nails.
First are mines ->
The hat, the heart and the gloves are made with 4D white gel from Bluesky gel polish No.02.
For the base of the decorated nails I applied Bluesky CS27.
The small finger and the thumb nails are made with the sweater technique- white polish (Bluesky 501) with matt top coat and then painted the elements with the polish and covered with decorative sand.
Decorative sand I applied also on the branches on some of the nails.
I added velvet powder on the gloves and the hat to make them more realistic.
Here it is on another nails and with snowflake instead of the sweater print ->
And finaly one mani with the same teddy bear and sweather elements but in black ->
I used Bluesky 504 for a base here and 518 for the black. On the index nails I sticked heart- shaped key nail jewel.
And here it is one more time in black ->
Here it is in red color, too ->
I used Bluesky gel polish 521 for the red and 4D gel No.8.

I finally had a chance to fish the Wildcat Creek near Lafayette this Sunday with a few friends. Keep in mind, we have had a tuff year as far as rain goes and most of the rivers and small streams in Indiana are very low. The Wildcat was no different but not as low as I thought it would be.
I started out with some poppers and picked up some small fish with a little beetle imitation. Once I moved into some fast water I changed to a craft fur Clouser and then to a Clouser Darter. No luck with them. I knew there were fish in the water and was intentionally getting my streamers on the bottom but not getting any takers. I caught up with the other guys I was fishing with and they were planning on heading to the truck and moving to a new location.
On the way back to the truck, Rex threw out his white Woolhead Zoo Cougar and nailed a nice smallmouth in the fast water; right were I knew there were fish. Justin proceeded to hook into another one and Rex caught another further down stream. So, it seems mid-current was the place to be. We beat the water for a while longer before moving on.
The fishing was tougher at the second location. Everyone managed to pick up a fish or two but the water was moving slower and much siltier. We called it a day early around 3:30pm because Justin had a two and a half hour drive ahead of him back home. Which worked out as all of our wives were glad to see us some this weekend.
Not a stellar day fish wise but a great day exploring new water with good friends. Thanks Dave for sharing the Wildcat and I would be happy to come fish it again. You can see more great photos on Pile Cast.

Have you ever thought about what brings you happiness? One common pattern that I have seen emerge from my interactions with our students is the following.
Many of our actions are driven by fear.
An American lady recently narrated this to me, "I thought there was something wrong with me because I struggled with drinking.
Governments around the world have always tried to change citizens' behaviours on a number of fronts: eat healthy, exercise more, save more, be more energy efficient, and so on.
Have you sometimes noticed yourself or others around feeling dull with their mundane and banal life, especially when there isn't anything meaningful to do?
Have you come across people who feel like super-humans — these people have excellent careers, continue to lead and motivate a huge workforce, are constantly bringing up new ideas, have time for bei

In one of our previous posts, we talked about some cheap ultimate team players you can rock your team with. Today, we are going to talk about some best cheap inform strikers you can try in your fifa 17 ultimate team.
This is going to be an incremental post. So expect more and more reviews as time goes by.
So, here is a player we want to review this week end.
Cheap alternate for 94 rated Ronaldo
So, the recent inform from TOTS-COMMUNITY-GOLD version of Jonathan Viera has beast of a ratings. This 89 rated CM resembles a lot like ronaldo if a HAWK is applied on him. Here is a screenshot comparing 94 rated ronaldo with him.
92 dribbling and 90 passing comes without applying any chemistry styles.
93 pace, 91 shooting and 80 physicality comes with HAWK. He is worth 50K right now and he may increase alot later on. Make sure to pick him up and try him.
In Form Scott Sinclair (ST) – 84
The 84 rated striker is doing wonders to his club Celtic in the real life games and guess what, he is going good in fifa 17 too. He has such a great upgrade in his stats in fifa 17.
First things to notice in this new card is that he has great Pace. 4 star skill move with 91 pace and 95 agility is a killer combination for sure. And mind you we didn't apply any chemistry styles yet. The best attribute is yet to come. His stamina. Ya that's something to watch out for.
With 94 stamina, he can potentially substitute Jamie Vardy in your EPL team, especially when you have a squad with English players. This guy comes in handy because of his 4 star skill moves when compared to Vardy's 3 star skill moves. His pace is not as good as vardy's but with Hunter card he should be 98+.
Now, talking about his in game performance. He is a player who has great ball control and dribbling. You will love him for how he reacts with the ball with him. Now because he has great Agility, Stamina and Pace you can pretty much run across the field from your own half and you will be able to score goals.
He may not be a best finisher in the game but I can give him 8/10 rating which is pretty good for any striker.
With hawk chemistry style, which gives him 99 acceleration, 96 spring speed and of course 95 agility, he is an absolute speedster.
He also gets 99 positioning which is great and of-course 92 finishing which is very very essential.
And as I said earlier, if you are managing a squad with England players, you can pretty much use him in your squad.
Flip Side
He has no great passing attributes. So make sure to pass the ball only if he faces the receiver directly and I don't recommend playing long passing with this player.
His week foot is something that can cause real trouble but his pace, 4 star skill moves and finishing is amazing.
I would rather choose to pass the ball back and allow him to make his Sprinting Move towards the goal or you can directly use his pace and sprint directly towards the goal and use his 4 star skills to trick a defender and finish scoring the goal.
Don't be afraid to sprint alot. He has 94 stamina, let you remind you.
Pros In Form Scott Sinclair (ST) – 84
4 star skill moves.
Cons In Form Scott Sinclair (ST) – 84
Week foot.
Authors Take:
Just get him and use him your squad. You will love this cheap inform striker.
Giuseppe Rossi 82 IF ST Review
The other player we would want to review after the team of the week 29 release is Rossi. A player with 3 star skill moves and 3 star week foot. A descent player to have in if you need a descent La Liga striker with great finishing.
A cheap player for an inform striker. You may ot grab him for 10,000 which is the discard price but you can get him for around 14K coins may be!
Look at his in game stats. Not all his stats are great but here are some most important stats for you.
- Pace 84
- Acceleration 85
- Sprint Speed 84
84 pace is descent but with hunter card I am sure his pace will touch 90. Which is wonderful for a striker with 86 shooting and 87 attacking positioning. His finishing is 89 and with 84 long shots he will be a descent player to work on with.
- Shooting86
- Attack Positioning 87
- Finishing 89
- Long Shots 84
His passing capabilities are pretty much good when compared to other high rated strikers around. With 81 vision and short passing, he can make some really important passes inside the box. 86 dribbling, 88 ball control and Balance means he is not a player who defenders can mess with.
- Short Passing 81
- Vision 81
- Dribbling 86
- Agility 86
- Balance 88
- Ball Control 88
- Dribbling 84
- Stamina 63
- Composure 82
In Game Performance
As we said, he is a decent player to link on with. He can finish 7 / 10 times inside the box but sometimes he misses. You may feel that in the game.
His work rate is good and the way he finishes from outside the box is amazing.
His strength and stamina is something of a worry. That's why you are forced to play him as a substitute. Or just play him the first half. Don't expect him to perform great skill moves.
With proper dribbling moves and pace that comes with a chemistry style, he will be a great addition for you La Liga team.
Authors Take: If you play a slow paced game, then he is someone you will love.

In the spirit of investing in the communities it serves, the Upstate, S.C. offices of Allen Tate Realtors recently presented a check for $5,000 to Public Education Partners of Greenville County (PEP).
The contribution is part of more than $23,000 raised in the Upstate as part the 17th Annual Allen Tate FUNday, a series of four regional events where Realtors and company vendors "pay to play" and raise money for local public education organizations.
The Upstate event, an evening reception held September 24 at the Westin Poinsett in Greenville, S.C., featured games, prize drawings, and silent and live auctions. Additional FUNday events are held in Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro, N.C.
Since it began 17 years ago, FUNday has raised more than $1,380,000 for public education across the Carolinas.
"We are extremely pleased to present this check to Public Education Partners of Greenville County. Allen Tate is passionate about public education and understands its critical importance to families making home buying and relocation decisions. FUNday gives everyone at Allen Tate a chance to directly impact the local school systems and organizations committed to quality education," said Kathy Weeks, regional vice president, Allen Tate Realtors, Upstate region.
"FUNday celebrates the spirit of working together, having fun and giving back to the communities that have been supportive to our company," said Weeks.
"Your contribution will be instrumental in deepening the connections between our schools and the community," said Neil Grayson, chair, PEP board of directors.
Funds will be used to support PEP activities including the Make Summer Count reading program, which reaches 18,000 low-income elementary school students from 28 schools.

We see education as a partnership between school and home. Communication is encouraged on any topic that you think may affect your child's ability to learn.
Our family gathering, held annually in February, is the perfect opportunity for parents and teachers to meet in an informal setting and establish strong links.
Written reports, including children's self-evaluation, are sent home twice a year and the mid-year report is discussed at a more structured Parent / Teacher Conference. Of course other meetings with a teacher, the vice-principal or the principal may be arranged if necessary.
You will find the Information Booklet to be a handy reference guide to general school organisation; the weekly Newsletter keeps you up-to-date with current events.
Obviously, there are forms to fill in; for example, we need your permission to take your child on an excursion, and you will want to provide us with a contact number if you're not going to be home during school hours.
The attached forms are also available from the School office:

2018 Dodge County Fair
Growing your own herbs is a great way to add some unique flavors to the foods you prepare every day. You might try basil for a flavorful pesto, cilantro for a little 'south of the border', or some dill for serving up dips and sauces.
Herbs can bring life to the garden with their unique colors and flowers. They also have many other creative uses. Cooks, crafters, and gardeners love their herbs.
At the 2018 Dodge County Fair, the Dodge County Master Gardener Volunteers will focus on growing and using herbs. As in previous years, you will be able to spin our "Wheel of Knowledge" and answer questions for small prizes.
Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you with your gardening questions and provide information about the work we do in Dodge County. Come by on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1:00-5:00, Saturday 10:00-6:00 or Sunday 2:00-6:00 and see us at the Fair.

Master Gardener Annual Plant Sale – May 19, 2018 CANCELLED
It is with regret that we announce the cancelation of our 2018 spring plant sale.
An invasive Asian earthworm (Amynthes spp.) was confirmed in Dodge county this past year. Commonly called the jumping worm, crazy worm or snake worm it is very prolific having been first spotted in Dane county in 2013 it has since spread to 17 counties. The worm is easily spread in soil, mulch, compost and plant materials. To slow this advance, we thought it prudent to suspend our sale until effective protocols are developed to ensure we are not inadvertently aiding the spread of this pest.
Why is it a problem? Amynthas lives on or near the soil surface quickly devouring any organic matter destroying soil texture. Soil effected by these worms have a course coffee grounds texture that does not support plant growth. Amynthas is parthogenic, producing eggs without the need for mating, so a single individual can turn into a colony. They reproduce fast, so even though adults do not appear until late June or early July they produce two generations a season. Adults die off in fall. The worms over winter as hard egg casings called cocoons that are from 1 to 3 mm in diameter. Since adults are not present at planting time and cocoons are difficult to spot you can see how easy it would be to inadvertently spread these through donated plants.
You can help. Learn to identify these worms and report their locations to the DNR at firstname.lastname@example.com. Amynthas differs from European earthworms we are familiar with in several ways. They are darker in color, do not produce body slime being dry to the touch, darker on the dorsal side and light on the ventral and are considerable more active withering when handled or trying to escape. The most prominent difference is in the clitellum, the band that earthworms have around their bodies. The clitellum on Amynthas is nearer the head end. It completely circles the body and is very lite in color, almost white. This gives greater contrast between the clitellum and the body than found on other worms. Unlike other worms where the clitellum is raised saddle like on Amynthas it is smooth with the rest of the body.
For more information on Amynthas:
Dodge County Administration Building Education Display
The Educational Display Garden at the Dodge County Administration Building in Juneau is looking good. Interested in what's blooming? All plants are labeled with a plant marker and information about each plant can be found at
Dodge County Highway Department Education Display
The Educational Display Garden at the Dodge County Highway Department is progressing nicely (it was planted in 2015). All plants are identified with a plant marker and more information on the individual plants can be found at: http://dodge.uwex.edu/files/2010/06/Highway-Department-Building-Landscaping.pdf
The garden at the Highway Department was installed in 2014 and is specifically for an environment with full sun and excessive heat. The plants there are flourishing and blooming beautifully. Native varieties were used extensively, including Adam's Needle Yucca, Prairie Dusk Penstemon, and more.
The gardens (one on each side of the building) at the Administration Building were installed in 2013 and 2014. They include plants that do well in shade and sun conditions. The gardens have filled out spectacularly and are a feast for the eyes. Many native varieties also adorn these gardens, including Montana bachelor button, cupplant, winterberry, black lace elderberry, and lungwort.
Recently, the Homeschool Youth Master Gardener Association worked at the gardens and learned about deadheading, weed identification, proper pruning, and mulching. Clients utilizing the Help Line often stop at the gardens at the recommendation of the Master Gardener Volunteers to view the plants as a possible addition to their landscapes. Anyone can access information about these plants and their characteristics by clicking the links above.
As an extra bonus, the garden at the Administration Building has a Little Free Library stocked with books and magazines for both children and adults on gardening. A bench conveniently located near the library allows visitors to sit and read while enjoying the beauty of the garden.
Little Free Library
The DCMGA supports a "Little Free Library" in the east garden. The library will be stocked with garden books for adults and children early spring through fall. It is near a bench where patrons can sit and read while enjoying the gardens. Please feel free to take a book, read it, and return it so we can keep the library going!
Ask a Master Gardener Help Line
The Dodge County Master Gardener Association, in conjunction with UW Extension, offers help to all gardeners when problems arise or when they simply need a little encouragement. The Help Line is open at 127 E. Oak Street, Room E on Tuesday mornings 9-12 and Thursday afternoons 1-4 until September 6, 2018. However, if a gardener cannot make those hours, phone calls at 920-386-3790 or emails at email@example.com will be answered in a timely manner.
Master Gardeners have gone through extensive training in a broad range of topics ranging from soil, insects, vegetables, landscape plants, plant pathology, and more. If they do not remember the answer to the question immediately, they have the resources to find it, or they will contact a University expert. They will ask questions until they get to the "root" of the problem and help solve it.
After September 6, the Help Line is closed, but questions will continue to be answered that come in by phone and email.

Terry Parker, Executive Director of the Building Trades of Alberta, shared these comments at the conclusion of the conference:
When we came up with the theme for this year's conference, "Evolve, Adapt, Transform", we knew immediately that it was the right theme. The Unionized Building Trades are at a crossroads. The environment is changing, and for us to survive, we will have to evolve. We have to Adapt. And we will transform how work is done in this province.
Our many partners who joined us today and who shared their observations, reflections and thoughts share this view.
What does all this mean for you? It means you have work to do. The biggest disservice you can do for yourself, your members, your local and the labour movement is to leave Jasper at the end of this conference and file away what you have heard, return to business as usual and then come back next year, working just as you have all along.
I have three things to ask of you:
- Get engaged. In your local, in your community, politically, take a leadership role. Be an example for your brothers and sisters of what engagement looks like.
- Work to engage members, get them involved. Have them start to do exactly what I just asked you to do.
- Share good news stories. Share them with your members. Share them with us. Share them publicly. We, as an industry, need to do a better job promoting ourselves, showing the community that we are positive contributors.
I'm not asking you to undertake this work without promising to do work for you. Here is what I commit to you:
- I promise to keep pushing to grow and enhance relationships with government and with industry partners.
- I promise that we will work to enhance communications with members and with your locals.
- I pledge that we will share more information and share better information to encourage your members to get engaged.
- I also promise to listen. If you or any other member of the BTA has something to share with me, I will be there. My business card is in all of the delegate packages. I encourage you to make use of it. I encourage you to share it with your members and have them reach out to me too.
- Finally, I promise to do absolutely everything I can to grow the unionized building trades market share in Alberta. If you have ideas on what more can be done – share with me. This is a member-driven organization. My role is to put into action what the membership wants. Help me do that.
Thank you so much for your time, your attention and your commitment to work with me as we move forward, continuing to evolve, adapt and transform.
Conference Highlights
As usual, the conference lasted for three days, with Monday being the meeting of the Executive Board of the Building Trades of Alberta and Tuesday being the Convention for Delegates and Apprentices. Wednesday, September 20 was the day when all attendees were present and a lot of information was shared. we will share as much of it as possible here, but if you want to know more, please contact us at email@example.com.
After the morning address from our Chairman, Doug Worobetz, Business Manager of the Sheet Metal Workers Local 8, Dave Estabrooks delivered a Safety Moment, where he discussed mental illness and his own journey and recovery from brain injury.
Terry Parker then provided the Welcome and Overview of the event, to set the tone for the day. After that, Bob Blakely from the CBTU provided an overview from a national perspective, Neil Tidsbury from CLR-A reflected on the past four decades and talked about what they tell us about the. Our last speaker before the morning break was Brett McKenzie, the Executive Director of GPMC-NMC, who shared his thoughts on the transformation of the maintenance industry.
Once we all returned from coffee and networking, we were treated to a great, engaging presentation from Dan Comiskey, a former CFL Offensive Lineman who talked about how everything matters and related his experience growing up a troubled kid and finding football, then dealing with the troubles of his own kids helped to provide him with much-needed perspective. By all accounts, his presentation struck a chord with us all.
The Build Together team then presented on the work they had been doing, shared a couple of videos and lead the room in an exercise to discuss respect in the workplace. They then took the responses that we had all provided and will be compiling the results. If you would like to add your comments, find the questions here and send your response to the Build Together team here.
As a great segue to lunch, the 3rd Annual John Tackaberry Future Leaders award was presented to Mackenzie Bennett. Have a look at his award-winning essay here.
Following lunch, we were treated to remarks from the Minister of Labour, Honourable Christina Gray, who also stayed after her speech and into the afternoon break to connect with attendees and answer questions.
Following the theme of government changes and progress, Micah Field from Blakely & Dushenski discussed the Changes to Labour Code and how the trades can best make use of them, and then Paul McLoughlin talked about the current political landscape and what it would take for the NDP government to see a second term. (Spoiler alert: we will need to mobilize in the next two years if we want to see another four years of labour-friendly government).
j'Amey Bevan, the Director of Apprenticeship and Education for the Boilermakers Local 146 delivered her presentation on the BTA Mentorship Project - Embracing Technology to Promote Engagement and Craft Development, which included a walk-through of the online mentorship beta for welders.
After that, we had our afternoon networking break.
The afternoon was an opportunity for owners to speak. First up was Dean Luciuk from TransAlta, speaking about the upcoming Brazeau Pumped Storage Project, which could see as many as 600 skilled trades workers employed during construction. Following Dean was perennial favourite Ian MacGregor, the Chairman and CEO of NW Refining Inc., to talk about Phase One nearing operationalization, what the news is on Phases Two and Three (waiting for the go-ahead from the government who wants to see proof that Phase One is successful first), and reminding us that while he is a great supporter of the unionized trades, we need to be sure that we come to the table like we want the work.
The day ended with Terry providing an update on the Rebuild McMurray Hope Fund. We have reviewed a couple of proposed projects so far, in conjunction with the City leaders, but to date, none meet the criteria set up by the fund for a project that we would get behind.
Terry provided closing remarks and then everyone got a chance to freshen up before the dinner, at which Wendy Dugas, the President and CEO of the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation presented about the work that they have been able to do thanks to the support of the BTA Charitable Foundation, which is really a testament to all the men and women of the BTA who contribute to Foundation and help make Alberta a better place.

It's been a decade since Taylor Swift debuted to the music scene with her first single. Ever since then, controversy followed her every move. Her dating life, social life, and even her personal life had been subjects of controversies even when she's not even doing to anything.
And with the Kim and Kanye controversy added to the long list of controversies under her belt, it's another opportunity for her haters to call her over. So let's go back to the past times when social media commentators proclaimed that the Taylor Swift phenomenon was over.
- Rhiannon at the Grammy's.
Remember when she performed You Belong with Me and Rhiannon with Stevie Nicks and was critically panned because she was off – key? She received so much media backlash that people thought she was over. But no, she came out of that controversy just fine.
- Mine leaking 2 weeks earlier than the scheduled release date.
If you have been following her since her debut, Mine was the single that followed the very successful Fearless era. People expected much from her follow – up single. Then before the single's release, a low quality version of the song surfaced online. Mine was rush released to cater to the demand. People thought it was going flop due to the leak but with 297,000 digital downloads in four days, it debuted at number three on Billboard Hot 100.
- Speak Now's singles underperformed.
Fearless was the era that catapulted Taylor to becoming a household name. The album was successful commercially as well as its singles. Somehow, Speak Now did not match the commercial success of its predecessor. The singles too did not match the success of Love Story and You Belong With Me. The singles only achieved moderate success.
- The release of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together commenced to her being called a sellout.
Coming from a moderately successful era, she wanted to come back with a bang. To make sure of that, she teamed up with pop savant Max Martin. Then came, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. It was not on par with her past singles in terms of quality but it was the catchy song she needed. It gave her her first number one single on Billboard Hot 100. Because of the song's quality, she was labeled by people as a sellout.
- Haylor happened.
She dated Harry Styles of One Direction and she was slut shamed for it. Well, the whole Red Era, she was slut shamed by the media and the haters.
- The Grammy Performance and her British Accent.
Haylor broke up and she performed WANEGBT at the Grammy's using a British accent for the song's bridge, and she was dragged by One Direction fans.
- I Knew You Were Trouble Goat Video.
A video of IKYWT made the rounds online with some of her vocals replaced with a screaming goat. It went viral and everyone dragged her vocals because it resembles a screeching goat.
- Red losing Album Of The Year at the Grammy's.
Red was her second album to be nominated at the Album Of The Year category and she lost. Her reaction during the announcement of the winner for the category became a joke.
- Her All Too Well Performance at the Grammy's.
Before losing AOTY, she performed All Too Well. The performance featured her playing the song on the piano and her head bopping and banging to match the beat of the drum. It was so funny for her haters that it became a meme.
- Shake It Off: the Song and the Video.
She fully transitioned from country to pop with Shake It Off. Everyone saw it coming. The song and video were polarizing for fans and casual listeners or viewers. The video even attracted a racism controversy.
- Katy Perry and Bad Blood.
If you're a Katy Cat, you know that Bad Blood was a parody of a Katy Perry song. People dragged Taylor for trying to paint herself as a victim of Katy. Which in the business standpoint, she actually was but people were not here for that truth.
- When Miley dissed her.
Remember when Miley tweeted a photo of Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber? But the photo was photoshopped and their heads were swapped. It was so funny that Taylor only responded with "Sending you love."
- Nicki Minaj and Racism. Again.
Remember when Nicki ranted on Twitter because Anaconda was not nominated for VOTY? Remember when she shaded Taylor Swift during the process of that rant? Taylor responded and was called out by people as racist. Yeah, I remember that clearly. Taylor even apologized to Nicki even though she doesn't need to.
- MTV VMA Performance with Nicki.
She performed at the VMAs with Nicki after their feud was over and was called fake.
- Kanye's Vanguard Award.
Remember when she gave Kanye his Vanguard Award at the VMAs and she gave a short speech about Kanye's colorful career. People called her fake again for that.
- She Won MTV Video of the Year Award for Bad Blood.
After the whole squad goals drama, Bad Blood starring her squad won Video of the Year at the MTV VMAs. She won an award and was dragged for it.
- Album of the Year for 1989.
When she wins an award, people drag her. That's also the case for her AOTY win for 1989. She even gave an iconic speech referencing the whole Famous controversy. But before that, she opened the Grammy's with Out of the Woods and was dragged for her vocals.
- Calvin and Katy teaming up.
Remember when Calvin tried to perpetuate a rumor that the real reason for their breakup was because she cheated with Tom. She then clarified it by exposing to the world that she was the co-writer of This Is What You Came For and his comments about possibly working with her in the future was the real reason behind their break up. Remember his Twitter rant and the shade by Katy afterwards. She got dragged again for clearing things up.
Apart from the 18 controversies mentioned above, there were more that weren't mentioned. Every time she is in a controversy, people always proclaim her career as over. This was not the first time she was called over and this will not be the last time. When you're the biggest pop superstar in the world, your every move will be criticized. Your every post, comment, even body language will be subjects of discussions. Even when you're not saying anything, someone will drag you back in to the limelight.
And that's the case with Taylor. Even when she's on vacation, she's on the headline of tabloids, social media posts, and articles. But, she will never be over. The time she'll be over is when she decides to be over.

How does Chordify work?
We've done our best to make our website simple and easy to use, even though there is some complex technology behind Chordify. Our website is built using up to the minute web development techniques, like HTML5 audio etc.
Behind the scenes, we use the sonic annotator for extraction of audio features. These features consist of the downbeat positions and the tonal content of a piece of music. Next, a Haskell program HarmTrace then takes these features and computes the chords. For this to happen, HarmTrace uses a model of Western tonal harmony to aid in the chord selection. At beat positions where the audio matches a particular chord well, this chord is used in the final transcription. However, where there is uncertainty about the sounding chords at a specific position in the song, the HarmTrace harmony model will select the correct chords based on the rules of tonal harmony.
Chordify fosters open-source software. Not only do we use open-source software packages like GHC, PHP, SoX, sonic annotator and MongoDB,
but we also give back a large share of the in-house developed
technology to the music information retrieval research community via
open-source software projects like HarmTrace and scientific
publications. Here are some relevant scientific publications:
W. Bas de Haas. Music information retrieval based on tonal harmony. PhD thesis. Utrecht University, 2012.

Fascist government collaborators, under police protection, attack the Faculty of Communications in Ankara

Fascist government collaborators, under police protection, attack the Faculty of Communications in Ankara
A group of Turkish neo Nazi fascists working closely with Turkish government attacked the Faculty of Communications in Ankara. Taking their orders to subdue the students and faculty and to work together with the police, a group of thugs came to the faculty from Incesu district to hang a banner promoting bringing back the death penalty.
Dictator Erdoğan has been advocating the death penalty to conjure ultra-nationalism. Death penalty was banned in Turkey as a precondition to enter the European Union. However, as Erdoğan started to show his real face of Islamic terrorism, Turkey has been moving away from any resemblance of democracy and the death penalty discussion is revived.
The death penalty issue crystallizes around the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, being kept under isolation in an island by the Turks, after the CIA captured him and gave him to Turkey under the promise not to execute him. Kurds constitute around 25% of the population in Turkey with no freedom to express their cultural and ethnic identity.
The fascists, working with Turkish government forced themselves to the faculty and hang a banner reading, "Execute Öcalan. United Great Turkey!" a slogan that parallels "Make America Great Again" used by Trump followers in the US.
Then the thugs forced themselves inside the Communication Faculty building and started shouting, "Even if our blood flows, the victory will be Islam's." The group then started attacking the college students.
The students, hearing the screams to spill blood, came to the gates of the building to confront the attack. The police then sprang into action and surrounded the students to protect the fascists. Once the students were surrounded by the cops, the fascists took out the weapons and sticks they had brought for the assault and attacked the students.
To prevent serious injury, students then pulled back inside the building. However, the fascists did not stop and continued their attacks with rocks, sticks, swords, and knives they had brought along. It was reported that at least 4 students were wounded by the attack. The wounded students left stains of blood on the faculty floor and steps. Police only watched the attack.
The fascists then marched out under the protection of police and left the campus as the police too marched out after them.

And the Winner is….
But no one got all four answers right. Not even Cathy. So I wrote em down, cut em out and picked the winner from a hat. (ok, darn it. It was a coffee cup. But it was clean, I swear).
For some reason, people seemed to think I was the naughty one in the bunch and everyone guessed Gina's line was mine. But it wasn't me! It was GINA! So to ease your burning curiosity, here are the correct answers:
1. She followed Charlene's finger and turned in her seat. She gazed into a belt buckle only six inches away from the tip of her nose. Oh dear.
From Love Rescued Me by Debra Kayn
2. It was lust. Overwhelming, all consuming, spread-her-legs-wide lust, and it was all for him.
From Her Five Favorite Words by Gina Gordon (GINA! Not me!)
3.You're slick as a seal, aren't you?
From The Highwayman by Fiona Vance (THAT's me. 🙂
4. His hand alone sent her reeling toward the edge of an orgasm and brought out her inner wickedness in five seconds flat. Two seconds if he used both hands, she bet.
From Didja Know by Abby Wood. That's naughty, too. Maybe Abby was working with Gina on that one…
Congratulations, Cathy! We'll send your books right on over! 🙂
And thank you to everyone who came by to play with us today!
Love, Fiona 🙂

Montel then taught at several lycées and at this stage he had no intention of undertaking research in mathematics. He enjoyed teaching but he had other interests such as literature and travel and was pleased to have a job where he had sufficient leisure to enjoy these pursuits. He was, however, a very successful teacher and did well in preparing his students for the competitive examinations which gave them places at the leading engineering institutions. Montel's friends saw the great talent which he possessed and they persuaded him to return to Paris and work on a thesis for his doctorate in mathematics. This he did and obtained his doctorate in 1907. However, he returned to teaching in lycées and did not seek a university post at this time. He was appointed to his first university post in Paris in 1918 at the age of 42. Dieudonné writes in :
During the German occupation he was dean of the Faculty of Science, and he was able to uphold the dignity of the French university in spite of the arrogance of the occupiers and the servility of their collaborators.
Montel worked mostly on the theory of analytic functions of a complex variable. His work is put in context by Dieudonné in :
The idea of compactness had emerged as a fundamental concept in analysis during the nineteenth century; provided a set is bounded in Rn, it is possible to define for and sequence of points, a subsequence which converges to a point of Rn (the Bolzano - Weierstrass theorem). Riemann had sought to extend this extremely useful property to sets E of functions of real variables, but it soon appeared that boundedness of E was not sufficient. Around 1880 G Ascoli introduced the additional condition of equicontinuity of E, which implies that E has again the Bolzano - Weierstrass property. But at the beginning of the twentieth century Ascoli's theorem had very few applications, and it was Montel who made it popular by showing how useful it could be for analytic functions of a complex variable.
Montel introduced a set of functions called a normal family and used these ideas to simplify classical results in function theory such as the mapping theorem of Riemann and Hadamard 's characterisation of entire functions of finite order. Montel's idea of normal families proved to be powerful in many connections, for example in the proof of the Picard - Landau -Schottky theorems, and it became central in the theory of iterations of analytic functions started by Emile Picard and developed by Fatou and Julia . In 1915 the Paris Academy of Sciences announced that its 1918 Grand Prix would be awarded for a study of iteration from a global point of view. In Alexander suggests that this choice of topic may have been made because it was felt by Appell , Emile Picard , and Koenigs that normal families might provide a suitable tool for such investigations. The Grand Prix was won by Julia but Montel, who did not enter for the prize, was awarded a smaller monetary prize at the same time.
Montel also investigated the relation between the coefficients of a polynomial and the location of its zeros in the complex plane.
As we mentioned above, Montel was interested in travel and his eminence as a mathematician led to many invitations which he was more than delighted to accept. He lectured in Belgium, Egypt, Romania and South America. Having students in Romania meant that he was able to make frequent visits to that country. He married late in life and had no children.
Among the honours he received, the most prestigious was election to the French Academy of Sciences in 1937.

The Somali port city of Kismayo is in political crisis as two former warlords are both claiming to be president of the newly created Jubaland region of southern Somalia. Fears are growing that the rivalry could lead to an outbreak of violence. The Somali government still maintains it doesn't recognize the two leaders. Mohammed Yusuf reports.
The political division in southern Somalia still continues after more than six months of negotiations to elect local authorities to govern the regions of Gedo, Middle and Lower Juba.
On Wednesday, 495 delegates meeting in Kismayo elected Ras Kamboni militia leader Ahmed Madobe as the president of Jubaland, over four other candidates.
But another former warlord, Barre Hirale, who controlled Kismayo for close to nine years, has said he was elected at a separate conference of elders.
"In a conference, which was going on for some time, I was elected as the president of Jubaland," said Hirale. "In that conference 600 delegates attended and 500 voted for me. Because of that I have become the president of Jubaland."
Returning warlord
Hirale was chased out of Kismayo by al-Shabab militants – when Ahmed Madobe was a top commander in the group. He returned to Kismayo last month by sea with dozens of loyal soldiers.
Abdi Mohamed Yarow is an elder with the Hawiye clan, which is in the minority in Kismayo. He was present at the swearing-in ceremony and told VOA the elders had appointed Hirale as their president.
"Today we were at the swearing-in ceremony of the president of Jubaland state Barre Hirale,' Yarow said. "We have decided to make him our president and we have just done that, he is the president of Jubaland."
Some sections of the Somali population have expressed concerns over the recent threats of violence in the city and its environs concerning this dispute over who should be president.
Seeking solutions
Ahmed Soliman, Horn of Africa researcher at Chatham House, a foreign policy institute in London, said to avoid a return of violence in the region, both militias from the two rival camps need to be integrated into the Somali national army.
"What we are talking about is eventually, militia being reintegrated into Somali national force. That's a way of stemming potential conflict in the future, but it very much has to come off the back of political process and I do see political process is in complete and it would continue," said Soliman.
He also said that after months of negotiations, people can't be too impatient. Soliman noted the process will take time, and he said that expressing fears is not the right way forward.
"I think there is need to take time, and to asses and to negotiate properly with all the stakeholders. It does seem to me there are a lot of stakeholders involved, and that's a good thing, and that means it takes longer to achieve consensus," he said.
The government in Mogadishu has expressed concerns about the roles played in Jubaland by some stakeholders, particularly by the Kenyan government. Kenya has been accused of backing the Ras Kamboni leader, Ahmed Madobe, who helped Kenyan forces to liberate Kismayo last year.
The Somali federal government has refused to recognize any leadership appointments in Jubaland, deeming the process unconstitutional.
A sixteen-member committee appointed by the prime minister to look into the Jubaland issue arrived Thursday in Kismayo.

The involvement of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) in the area of higher education is deeply ingrained in the tradition of French cooperation. While the ultimate aim is to train the foreign elite, with the double concern of support for development and/or influence, the objectives of this cooperation have become wider as a result of recent changes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR) are seeking to boost student mobility with several "target" countries. They thus jointly funded master's programmes with the authorities in the countries concerned, i.e. Austria, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal and Spain. The master's projects, submitted by a French or partner-country establishment, following a call for projects and selected based on assessments conducted by experts from both countries, receive incentive financing for three years. Partnerships for master's programmes began with Ukraine in 2010 and Belgium and Norway in 2011.
