Brad St.Ledger - Brad's Bio, Credits, Awards,… - Stage 32
I am a London-based actor and writer represented by Nic Knight of Nic Knight Management ([email protected]).
I am absolutely dedicated to achieving success in both my acting and writing careers. As an actor I have garnered experience from ample stage and screen work over the years, as well as from my BA in Drama & English Literature from Royal Holloway, University of London. I specialise in naturalistic and psychologically realistic acting and have enjoyed performing a number of dark and psychologically complex roles. These include (but are not limited to): the charming deviant RP McMurphy in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' at Greenwich Theatre; the emasculated, polio-stricken wartime writer Caleb in 'The Truth Untold' at Theatre Breaks Festival; post-apocalyptic London drug dealer Elliot in 'Mercury Fur'; and mentally deficient child-killer Ralph in 'Frozen' at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Over the last couple of years I have worked as part of contemporary British theatre company Out of Town Productions. For Out of Town, I work primarily as an actor (as Jack in 'Chatroom' at the Edinburgh Fringe 2013, Brighton Sick! Festival 2014, and Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival 2014, and as Ralph in 'Frozen' at the Boilerhouse Theatre, and at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014), but also as a workshop facilitator on our continuing TIE tour, in which we explore contemporary social issues with students through the medium of theatre.
As a writer, aiming to be published in the coming years, I have written a fair selection of plays, screenplays, prose fiction, and articles. At university my playwriting skills were developed under the supervision of such established British playwrights as Mike Punter and Dan Rebellato. I am currently working on having my most recently written play, 'Dílseacht', produced in London. I also recently began writing for new online magazine BIAS, which is due to go live in the coming weeks. My other current work in progress is my first full-length novel, 'Taking Liberty' - a tale of two Londoners on the run from their murderous employer, travelling endlessly around the country in their search for safety, happiness, community, and above all, freedom.
I am also a professional tutor of English Literature, English Language, and Drama & Theatre Studies for GCSE and A-Level students. I provide both in-home and online tutoring.
I am a friendly, confident and easily approachable person with a strong commitment to my work, whatever it may be. I am incredibly diligent and respectful in the workplace and personally have no time for laziness and a strong belief in working hard to make a living.

Review Of KIND Nut Bars – Featured Products Usa
Nut bars have become a very popular snack for many. After all, they offer convenience for those with on-the-go lifestyles. KIND nut bars are some of the more popular options available. In this review, we will be going over the good and the bad of KIND nut bars.
One of the best things KIND has going for it with its nut bars is the variety of flavor options. You will find a variety of delicious flavors including peanut butter, dark chocolate, caramel, coconut, and more. Having a lot of flavors to choose from ensures that you will be able to find a nut bar that comes in a flavor you can enjoy and that you can switch up the flavor enough to avoid getting tired of it.
The bars themselves come with a variety of different nutrients that you would want from a snack bar. Not only does each bar have 3 to 6 grams of protein, but you will find a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in a single bar, as well. Each bar also contains 4 to 7 grams of fiber which equates to 14 to 25 percent of the recommended value.
A combination of having minimal sugar with each bar of having 5 grams or less and the amount of fiber each bar has makes it a good low glycemic index snack that you can enjoy. This means the bar won't skyrocket your glucose levels.
When you are searching for a snack bar, you might be looking for a bar that can keep you satisfied. KIND bars are extremely tasty, but they tend to be on the smaller side of things. Each bar is 1.4 ounces which are on the smaller side of the spectrum. Therefore, they might not be satiating enough for everyone.
These bars are delicious and nutritious, but they are rather expensive. That being said, a lot of the bars you will find in this same category feature the same kind of pricing. Therefore, in comparison, the cost shouldn't be too much of a factor in your buying decision.
Overall, KIND nut bars are some of the best snack bars you will find available on the market. They come in a variety of different flavors and they have a lot of healthy ingredients with low sugar added. If you are looking for a good and healthy bar to tide you over mid-day, you can't do much better than KIND.

The Body shop Dreams Unlimited Body Butter Review - Glitter & Gorgeous!!
Body Butter ~ Dreams Unlimited ~ Skincare ~ The Body Shop
A Sleek & Inglot Giveaway Entry by Samannita (Entry # 3)
Today my review is on The Body shop Dreams Unlimited body butter. I live in Kolkata where the weather is quite hot and humid one. And as my skin is normal one so I never thought to use any body butter .i use body lotion only in winter…but as I saw in an online site (style craze.com) that they are offering 30% off on this body butter I decide to buy it!
OMG! The product amount is so less! 50 ml costs Rs.465/-
But after using it I found that the body butter is just awesome! as it light in texture. Easily absorbed and a nice smell (a fruity one I guess) lingers on and on for hours.
And the most amazing thing is it is sweat proof. I mean despite of hot and humid climate it remain sweat proof! And I found for first time my body so smooth!!!…really I didn't expect so much from this product!
The smells last really long!
Easily absorbed in skin leaving a soft and smooth skin.
Require small amount. I am using this small tub for last 2 months regularly still I have some more left.
I wish the amount must little more!
As it comes in a tub container so little unhygienic.
Will I buy it again? Yes, despite of these cons I will buy it again and again as I just fell in love with it!
0 thoughts on "The Body shop Dreams Unlimited Body Butter Review"
i'm yet to try any TbS product.. body butters are a no-no for me though 😀
I don't find TBS products great actually….I think they re simply hyped..Maybe its only me but I ve only had bad experience with me 🙂
Nice review Sammanita 🙂 Glad you liked it 🙂
why no body butter for u?
oh did the body cream/butter stuff didnt suit u or is it the face cream/toner stuff? just curious to know 🙂
TBS bath & body stuff are good but the skin care stuff doesn't work well.. at least for me 🙁
Ya Reks even I prefer the bath and body range from TBS usually.
somehow i feel the TBS body butter's consistency is not at all as rich as the bath n body works one …

Right on Q: Winning Ugly ... forever - South Side Sox
They didn't earn rave reviews, but the White Sox uniforms from the early 1980s stand the test of time.
By RobHart780 Mar 1, 2014, 6:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Right on Q: Winning Ugly ... forever
When it comes to uniforms, it is always 1983.
In the beginning, it was known as "uniform design number 2."
When Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn bought the White Sox from Bill Veeck in early 1981, they didn't have enough time to make their mark on the club. With the exception of Carlton Fisk and Greg Luzinksi, the White Sox team that opened the season at Fenway Park on April 10, 1981 looked an awful lot like the team that was owned by Bill Veeck for the previous five years.
They still wore the softball uniforms designed by Mary Francis Veeck. The most dominant feature at Comiskey Park was the exploding monster scoreboard that was installed in 1960.
The Sunshine Boys slowly made their mark as the 1981 season progressed. Ribbie and Roobarb were introduced late that summer.
They planned on a top-to-bottom renovation of Comiskey Park during the 1981-82 offseason. Veeck's monster scoreboard would be replaced with a modern rig that could display video highlights. The upper deck would be ringed with skyboxes. The wooden seats closest to the field would be renamed "Golden Boxes," where the high rollers could enjoy the game in a brand-new plastic seat.
Reinsdorf and Einhorn wanted to build the team of the 1980's, and that re-branding included new uniforms. Veeck's duds had to go.
The new owners announced the uniform contest early in the '81 campaign. Wannabe designers had to submit their sketches to the club by May 7. Fans could then choose from the top six entries. The winning designer would win two tickets to the 1981 World Series, and season tickets for 1982.
The final six were on display at Comiskey Park from August 27 to September 6, 1981.
"A team of design wizards and guys with chains around their necks got together and brought forth a handful of double-knit possibilities most ballplayers wouldn't wear to a hanging," wrote Tribune columnist Steve Daley on September 23, 1981.
The results of the fan vote were supposed to remain a secret until Opening Day, 1982. But the word slowly got out, and on Oct. 4, the Tribune reported that "uniform no. 2 was the winner of the design contest, but the uniform is undergoing revisions and won't be ready for viewing for about a month."
The world didn't see the new Sox uniforms until March 26, 1982.
"THE SOX WILL BE UNIFORMLY RED, WHITE, BLUE, AND SNUG," read the headline on the front page of the Trib. Above the headline was a picture of Greg Luzinski modeling the look of the 80's.
"The new uniforms are made of a lightweight synthetic and are tailored for a snug fit. No more hiding a paunch under the loose fitting jersey. The most distinctive feature is the navy blue band, bordered on each side by red piping across the chest. The word SOX is emblazoned in the middle of the band."
The article noted that the winning design came from Richard Launius of West Carrolton, Ohio ... with some alterations by the White Sox.
30 years later, ESPN caught up with Launius:
Launius, then 25, got to attend the 1981 World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers. He flew between New York and Los Angeles on the private jet of MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Since he lived near Dayton, Ohio, he sold his White Sox season tickets to friends in Chicago and used the proceeds to buy a piano.
The SOX uniforms were discarded after the 1986 season, in favor of a new design that called to mind the Sox uniforms of 1942. Those uniforms were ditched in 1990 in favor of the black pinstripes that are still in use today.
The early '80s Sox uniforms make the list of worst uniforms in the history of sports. Yet, for some reason, they continue to pass the test of time. Fans who were born after 1986 wear early 80's throwback uniforms - or some other form of Sox gear inspired by that design.
It's hard to say why that uniform design lingers on. Yes, they do call to mind the "Winning Ugly" months of 1983. But they were also worn in years when the White Sox were also-rans (1982, 1985) or just plain bad (1984, 1986).
The early '80s uniforms evoke memories of fleeting postseason glory. If you are a child of the '80s, that was your team. And if you were born after the uniforms were discontinued, the design carries some kind of hipster cachet. They are the baseball equivalent of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Now they are here to stay. Officially enshrined as alternate uniforms. With some changes, of course. The "authentic" SOX hat has been replaced by a stylized version of the "batter man" logo.

Melanson in, Terreri out as Devils goalie coach
"Rollie The Goalie" is back in the New York/New Jersey area. And back working with Cory Schneider, who needs to regain his All-Star form in order for the team to improve.
The Devils on Saturday announced Roland Melanson has been named the team's new goaltending coach, replacing former Martin Brodeur backup Chris Terreri, who will remain in the organization in a to-be-determined role.
Melanson, 57, served as the Canucks goalie coach from 2010-17 before working last season with Utica (AHL) in a player development role as stepped back to spend more time with his family. He also was a Canadiens assistant from 1997-2009. His tenure in Vancouver coincided with Schneider's three last seasons with the Canucks before he was traded to the Devils on June 30, 2013.
Melanson's 11-season NHL career began with the Islanders in 1980 – the Islanders traded Glenn "Chico" Resch to the Colorado Rockies, who became the Devils in 1982, to make room for Melanson – and included one game with the Devils in 1990-91 before ending the following season with the Canadiens. Melanson won three Stanley Cups with the Islanders as Billy Smith's backup.
Melanson was also, technically, a Ranger, as they acquired him from the Kings on Dec. 9, 1985, before trading him the same day to the Minnesota North Stars.
"I want to thank Trevor Linden and the Vancouver Canucks organization for allowing Rollie to join the New Jersey Devils," Devils general manager Ray Shero said in a press release issued by the team. "Rollie is well-respected throughout the League as a teacher and his experience with various goaltenders will be very beneficial.

Kovalchuk to remain in Russia for the next season
"Additionally, I have enjoyed working with Chris the past two seasons and I am very happy that he will remain with the organization," Shero added. "His knowledge and passion will help us continue to grow as a team."
Terreri, 52, has been a coach in the Devils' organization the past 16 seasons, starting with Albany (AHL) in 2001, and was named the Devils' goalie coach in 2010.
However, Schneider struggled last season with an inflated 2.82 goals-against average and a sub-par .908 save percentage after being an All-Star in 2015-16.
Terreri's 14-season NHL career included two stints with the Devils as he made his NHL debut in 1986-87 before being dealt to the Sharks on Nov. 15, 1995. The Devils re-acquired him from the Blackhawks on Aug. 25, 1998 and ultimately traded him to the Islanders on March 12, 2001 for fellow goalie John Vanbiesbrouck.
"I've worked with Rollie before at a Vancouver development camp and think he will bring in some good ideas to the organization," said backup Keith Kinkaid, who played a career-high 26 games last season and went 8-13-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .916 save percentage, in a message to The Record. "With that said, Bone [Terreri] has been a key to helping my career progress. He is always easy to approach and would help you in any way possible whether it be mental or on ice."
Another of Brodeur's former backups, Scott Clemmensen, works with the organization's prospects as the goaltending development coach, a post he's held since June 30, 2015. The team said Saturday's move will not change Clemmensen's role at all.

Iconic DJ/producer duo Dada Life have joined forces with revered former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach to recreate their 2013 smash “Born To Rage,” scheduled for release on April 8th.
Released in an incredible 39 different, country-specific versions and immediately charting in the top 5 at both the Beatport and Hype Machine charts worldwide, “Born To Rage” already carries significant pedigree. A track built around the duo’s trademark exuberance and packed full of euphoric crescendos and an infectious punk rock style hook, the addition of Bach’s remarkably distinctive vocal now gives “Born To Rage” a bold and exciting new dimension. Uniting the worlds of both electro house and rock, it’s broad-ranging appeal should make a significant impression on a more diverse, expansive audience and cement Dada Life’s reputation for consistently pushing boundaries with their music. The track also retains its anthemic and full-bodied club worthiness and is sure to make a significant impression on dance floors the world over.
After wrapping an Australian tour as part of the Future Music Festival, a series of dates in Las Vegas is on the horizon, as well as an appearance at Pacha in London on May 10th. Dada Life have enjoyed a typically busy start to 2014 including announcing their Dada Land passport program where fans can work their way up to Citizen and win a passport that gives them access to every Dada Life show in the world, for free, forever! More info at www.dadaland.com
The eccentric duo also made headlines at the back end of 2013 after being awarded a Guinness World Record for overseeing the world’s biggest Pillow Fight in Chicago, with 5000 people gathering to take part.

Evergreen Politics: David Sirota on Union-Busting at Microsoft . . .
« University of Washington staffer killed by stalker, guns and domestic violence | Main | Time for Pharmacy Board -- and Governor -- to Get it Right »
David Sirota on Union-Busting at Microsoft . . .
And other reasons for the political emergence of populism around economic issues such as jobs going overseas, trade and stagnant wage levels. Sirota writes about the connections he made about this issue when he was visiting the Microsoft campus in Redmond.
Here's the first sentence he wrote in an article for the San Francisco Chronicle last Friday:
A RULE of thumb for understanding American politics: The federal government only reacts to popular will when the upper-middle professional class starts making noise. Everyone else's voice falls on deaf ears. This is an unfortunate reality, but it is reality.
Just as the protests against the Vietnam War are much larger than the protests against the Iraq War, largely because middle-class boys were being drafted in the 60's, Sirota contends that he recent emergence of economic populism as a potent politcal issue is due to the job anxiety that upper middle class folks find themselves in now.
Much of the article discusses the anger and anxiety of the well-paid Microsoft workers. He says it all made perfect sense after he talked with Microsoft workers:
With buzzing twentysomething worker bees and beige low-rise buildings dotting a bucolic setting, the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Wash., looks like a cross between a university and a suburban office park. The comfortably tranquil image is carefully massaged by company icon Bill Gates, who cheerily testified to Congress this month that "anyone here in the United States who has [computer engineering] skills is going to have a super-high-paying jobs." Yet a darker reality emerges when talking to workers.
They pointed me to company documents published by the worker advocacy group WashTech, proving Microsoft salaries for mid-level full-time employees have been stagnating, even as company revenues rise. They fumed over how the company employs thousands of "permatemps" -- full-time employees technically designated "temporary" so the company does not have to pay them as well or provide them benefits.
Sirota talked discreetly with permatemps who say they are forced to compete with temporary, nonresident workers who are paid $13,000 less per year than American workers in the same jobs. A total of 1.1 million American information-sector jobs have been eliminated in the last five years. Here's what one of the Microsoft temps says:
"You can knock yourself out here and do your best and fix a thousand bugs," he said. "But at the end of that, they can -- and often do -- just say goodbye. And everyone here knows that."
And the Union-busting?
WashTech has tried to convert workers' anger into union drives. But those grinning, business-casual Microsoft executives have learned a thing or two about how to bust unions. One example: When a handful of Microsoft workers developing fledgling tax software took an initial step to unionize, the entire project was terminated by management.
Read the entire article. Jerome a Paris, a regular commenter over at DailyKos has a graph and a post that back up what Sirota is saying 100%.

Reasons Your Fermentation Didn't Start | Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing Discussion Forum
Reasons Your Fermentation Didn't Start
I think it is way more frustrating to not know what ruined your batch of beer, than actually losing the beer itself. It always makes your next batch feels like a gamble. Am I going to waste $40 and 8 hours of work again? How do I avoid making the same mistake when I don't know what went wrong in the first place? A common problem (especially among newer homebrewers) is having a bucket of wort that never even starts fermenting. Here are some common reasons and solutions for this popular ailment. Pun intended. You're welcome.
Check That it Really Isn't Fermenting
Bubbles in your airlock aren't a good way to judge if fermentation is happening. The best way to check if your beer has started fermenting is by taking a gravity reading. If your measured gravity is the same as your original gravity after a couple days, then your beer never began fermenting.
That being said, if you do use bubbles in the airlock to get a rough estimation of if fermentation has started, and it isn't bubbling, check the seal between the bucket and the lid. The last time I had no bubbles in my airlock after 3 days, I pushed down all around the edge of my lid to make sure it was on tight and sure enough my airlock started bubbling steadily. It didn't click into place or make any reassuring movement, but apparently there was a small leak somewhere that air was escaping through rather than my airlock. I now FIRMLY put on my lid every time.
Don't confuse this with pushing in the center of your lid, because it will just flex and push air out of your bucket. Then when you stop pushing, air will get sucked back into your bucket along with the sanitizer in your airlock. I've seen a similar issue with stoppers in my carboy or the 1 gallon glass jars that I occasionally use. If the inside of the neck gets wet, the stopper can slowly slide up and will just sit on top of the neck (see pictures below). This is much easier to see but can still create an air leak. Any other leaks from an airlock grommet or cracked stem on an airlock can have the same effect. The airlock will only bubble if pressure can be built up inside a well-sealed vessel. Now let's move forward with the knowledge that your beer actually isn't fermenting after confirming with a gravity check.
One of the most deceiving problems can be not having a problem at all. Sometimes it seems like your wort isn't fermenting because the airlock isn't bubbling, but you need to dig deeper into the problem. If you're using a bucket, open it up and look inside for a foamy head or a ring of crud above the beer's surface. A foamy head rises when the beer is vigorously fermenting (called a krausen) and it leaves a ring of junk on the wall when it falls back into the beer a couple days later. Try holding a flashlight against the back side of my bucket to see this ring of crud without opening my fermenter. If the krausen is still there though, this method doesn't work very well since the foam is dense enough to just look like beer. All of this is easier to see in a clear vessel of course.
You'll also noticed that when you fill a 5-6 gallon bucket with only 3 gallons of wort (for a half batch), your airlock is very slow to begin bubbling compared to when the bucket is full. With less wort in the bucket, less gas is produced and it has twice as much head room to fill before presuure forces bubbles out of the airlock. There just isn't as much gas trying to escape the bucket with smaller batches. This can easily be misconceived as a stalled fermentation if you're judging by a lazy airlock alone. Since so many factors control airlock activity, you shouldn't really use it as a measure of something not fermenting. Now let's troubleshoot some more.
Did You Add Your Yeast?
You've brewed your beer, pitched your yeast, and now you've been patiently waiting for a few days to see the fireworks show known as active fermentation. However, you never see any bubbles, no krausen, and the gravity is unchanging. Let's start off with the obvious. Did you remember to add yeast to your fermenter? A couple of times I've been so involved in cooling and aerating my wort that I've forgotten to actually pitch my yeast. Luckily I always have my yeast starter warming up on my counter during the brew day, so while I'm cleaning up I'll notice it still sitting there and go pitch it. No harm, no foul.
If you're certain that your fermenter is sealed up well and your gravity hasn't shown any signs of fermentation, it's time to look to your yeast, or specifically, the temperature of your wort the yeast are in. Since yeast are living organisms, they can be affected by good and bad conditions just like humans would be. No your Brettanomyces isn't sad because it broke up with its long time crush Hefeweizen yeast, but the environment they work in can absolutely affect your beer. If the temperature is too cold for the yeast, they will become dormant and fermentation won't start. On the other end, if the temperature is too hot, the yeast can be killed off permanently (generally around 95F). Like humans, every yeast strain has a temperature range where it's comfortable working. In general, lager yeast likes to be around 55ºF and ale yeast around 68ºF. Deviating too far from the recommended temps could leave your yeast useless, or produce a lot of off flavors.
Now Let's Look at the Yeast's Ideal Fermentation Conditions
Another factor to consider with your yeast is the pitching rate. Most of the yeast packets, tubes, and pouches used for home brewing say that they're ready for any 5 gallon batch of beer. This is not always the case though. If you're making a high ABV beer, a lager, or a batch larger than 5 gallons you will want to use more yeast. Failing to do so can leave your yeast overwhelmed and lower your chance for success. I've seen varying numbers for how much yeast is needed and what OG is considered high ABV, but the well-known yeast suppliers have information on their sites to help you. For instance, White Labs' site recommends pitching 1 yeast pack for a 5 gallon batch of beer with a starting gravity below 1.048 (see table below). If the starting gravity is 1.050-1.065 they recommend 2 yeast packs or making a 1 liter yeast starter. Finally, if the starting gravity is above 1.065 or you are pitching in a lager that's below 65ºF, you should use 3 packs of yeast or create a 2 liter yeast starter. All of those examples are for 5 gallon batches, but depending on the type of beer you're making you may need 3 times the yeast for a reliable fermentation! Those pitching rates are posted by the yeast masters themselves to help you succeed. Aerating your beer before fermentation will also help you get the most out of your yeast. Oxygen fuels yeast growth and healthy yeast will be able to ferment your beer better.
At this point you can try pitching more yeast to see if you can jump-start your fermentation, but the best way to solve these issues is prevention. Make sure your yeast is viable, you're using enough for the type of beer you're brewing, and that the wort is at an appropriate temp. Cheers!
Tags fermentation help my beer isn't fermenting troubleshooting
Thank for clarification. I have always heard the under 1.060 just use the packet or vial. Above 1.060 make a starter. Every time I have made a starter my fermentation's seem to start quicker and more consistent. Any recommendation on what the gravity of the starter should be? I have always heard 1.040ish??
From what I've read elsewhere, 1.040 is supposedly optimal.
Unless I'm in a huge rush I always make a starter with liquid yeast. You can reassure yourself that the yeast is still alive and if it's a bit older you are rebuilding the cell count to where it should be. A pack of liquid yeast has ~100 billion cells when it leaves the factory and they start to die off from there. A 1.055 SG wort should get 190 billion cells to pitch at 0.75 million cells/mL. So even a brand new pack of liquid yeast would be under pitching a 1.055 SG wort without a starter. Starter gravity should be 1.037 - 1.040.
If I must use liquid yeast, I like the smack packs because it inflates over about 3 hours after you smack it and that tells you the yeast is good and healthy
Good article, thank you. One thing to add, because I use a lot of dry yeast, is that you DO NOT want to re-hydrate dry yeast more than 15 minutes before pitching. I've had brew day interrupted many times and the yeast croaks because it's just sitting in water. It's disappointing to re-pitch a couple of days later wondering if it's the yeast or something else.
Using a rehydration nutrient such as Go-Ferm will help you avoid this....
Also, make sure that there is enough liquid in your airlock. I sometimes use starsan in my airlock, which foams a little when poured, and by the time the foam settled there wasn't enough liquid to actually seal the airlock.
Make a 2000ml starter per 5 gallons of wort for every batch, keep the temp right and you will never have a problem.
I do this for every batch that I brew now and have removed all doubt about whether or not my fermentation is going.
I found another reason for lack of fermentation can be due to the pH of the wort being too low. I added about a quart of carmelized honey to a 6 gallon batch of Nut Brown Ale and found the pH was reading 2.9. The yeast were not able to get going at this level of acidity.
After adjusting the pH with calcium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate in steps, I was able to get the yeast to begin working.
Here is a thread of something similar-
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=464007
So here is my stumper. I pitched with safale us-05 at 76F. My OG was 1.043, lower than I wanted due to a poor mash. The place I have kept it in has been warm and it has been 3 days without fermentation. Any ideas why? I tried swirling the carboy a little and I added more yeast. Still nothing. Thoughts?

The Lord can open and examine the sealed scroll - your conscience - and he knows every aspect of your life. He doesn’t judge and condemn you, but understands all the pressures, fears and hopes you feel, and your mistakes that make you deeply ashamed. Little wonder the overall scene appears dark, almost sinister. But your inner, secret life is in safe hands and will not be used against you – so there is rejoicing in heaven!
Begin to sense that the Lord is never out to condemn us. He is seeking to release us from negative emotions if we will but respond to Him.
This is quite an emotional passage, but if you can let go of the darkness of suspicion and doubts, you will find it reassuring to know that the Lord is doing everything possible to set you free from the many faults we all accumulate without even realising it. Think deeply about these opportunities which are offered to you. Heaven is on your side!
"I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. … I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals."
One key to a good flame is its inherent tonal variation. Different gradients can disguise the tonal variation
of a flame, especially if they have a lot of dark colors in them, so sometimes it's nice to use a monochrome
Next you want to make Apophysis use this gradient for all of the following random flames. You do this by
Since it is often hard to find nice looking random flames it's a good idea to build up a collection of "presets":
flames that respond well to further editing or mutation. If a flame responds well to mutation you can use it
over and over as a starting point for your exploration. Save your presets into a single *.fla file, and make this
Mutation will add variations and generally make things more complex, so it's nice to start with the Linear style.
The Linear style is also good for spotting flames with a nice tonal variation. Select Linear from the Variation
We're looking for flames that mutate well, so open the Mutation window (Ctrl+M) and position it away from
the main window. Close all of the other secondary windows, because the calculations needed to keep these
Leave the Mutation window open but click on the main window to bring it back into focus. Watch the Mutation
window and use the down arrow key on your keyboard to scroll through the flames in the batch. You'll find a
pace that allows the Mutation window to update fully for each flame. You don't have to wait for the flame in
the main window to calculate until you see something that looks promising in the Mutation window previews.
We're looking for flames that show something interesting in all, or most, of the mutation previews and often
the flames that mutate well aren't very interesting in themselves. Save anything that you think might be a good
starting point to your preset file. Later you can use these as starting points for more developed flame images.

Said Ibrahim Named to NIMHD Advisory Council
New NIH Focus On Precision Medicine's Equity and Access Issues
Perelman School of Medicine Professor Said Ibrahim has been named an ex officio member of the National Advisory Council on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NACMHD) of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD).
Ibrahim, MD, MPH, an LDI Senior Fellow and Director of the Veterans Administration Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion (CHERP), has long focused his research on health equity and disparities, particularly in the area of osteoarthritis care.
Said Ibrahim, MD, MPH, Professor of Medicine at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine and LDI Senior Fellow.
"This was all very exciting," said Ibrahim as he returned from his first NIMHD meeting in Washington. "It gives CHERP a seat at the table on a national level and it will also help me advise young investigators on the direction of health equity research."
Created in 1990 the NIMHD's mission is to foster and lead scientific research aimed at improving minority health. The Advisory Council meets three times a year to review all NIH health equity grants that have received fundable scores and decide which ones to approve for funding.
Focus on 'precision medicine'
Discussions at last week's Council meeting focused on the issue of precision medicine. "Genomics-informed medicine is the new hot thing," Ibrahim said. "But these same new technologies also raise issues of access, cost and coverage for racial and ethnic minorities. Some of these procedures can be very expensive."
Ibrahim also pointed out that genomics-related diagnostics are an important area of research for the VA which in 2011 launched the "Million Veteran Program" whose goal is to establish one of the world's largest DNA databases. The program has already collected samples from more than 400,000 veterans.
In a separate, similar initiative launched in January, 2015, the NIH has its own precision medicine program that is building a million-person database of DNA samples to support new areas of biomedical research.

Victim, 23, dies in DWI case
LAFAYETTE — The 23-year-old victim of a June 4 crash with a suspected drunken driver was described by her mother as a "bookworm" who loved school, loved to help people and "loved life."Emily Anne Landry died Sunday from injuries she suffered during the crash with Gregory Menard, 51 who struck Landry's vehicle head-on while attempting to pass several cars in a no-passing zone on La. 82, south of Abbeville, authorities have said.Kenneth Menard, 55, a passenger in Menard's vehicle, was ejected from the car and died at the scene.
State Police said they could not confirm whether the two men were related.After his release from the hospital Monday, Gregory Menard was booked into the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center on two counts of vehicular homicide, fourth-offense driving while intoxicated and one count of passing in a no-passing zone, said Stephen Hammons, spokesman for the State Police.Robin Robichaux Landry, Emily Landry's mother, said family members never left the hospital during her daughter's stay."We're kind of still in shock," Landry said.Emily Landry graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette on May 14 with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry.She planned to spend a year teaching internationally while preparing herself for physical therapy school, her mother said.An avid runner and reader, Emily Landry could be found on most days studying and reading at the university library, her mother said."She was full of life," Robin Landry said.But Landry said she has not yet heard the details about the crash or about the accused driver, although she acknowledged hearing that he had been convicted of drunken driving before.Menard's record of DWI offenses dates to 1999, according to court records in Vermilion Parish.Menard pleaded guilty to a Sept. 4, 1999, first-offense DWI in March 2000.
He was convicted of second-offense DWI in September 2004 in Abbeville City Court.He pleaded guilty to a third-offense DWI in June 2009 and was given a five-year sentence. All but one year was suspended.Menard faced another DWI offense in June 2004, but that charge was later dismissed.Funeral services for Landry are scheduled for Tuesday at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. Burial will follow in Holy Family Mausoleum, according to her obituary.Emily Landry was a New Iberia native and a Jeanerette resident.She is survived her mother, father, two brothers, a sister and her grandparents, her obituary says.

Do they have a list of demands? A manifesto?
D. C. used to be such a nice place to visit.
At one point, things escalated after a black bloc protester shined a light into the face of a police officer, who then slapped away the flashlight. The black bloc member retaliated and smacked the police officer. The officer then pushed the crowd back by using his bicycle.
I have never understood this bicycle fetish of the blue city police. I would think a baton works a lot better then an unbalanced piece of junk like a bicycle.
The black bloc protester then slaps another cop. The officer thrusts his bike even more aggressively into the crowd dressed in all black. During the tense situation, a female in the crowd tells the officer to put his face mask on.
Several video clips at the link, if you like.
It looks like they checked off all the usuals, except destroying store fronts and emptying the stores. Ugh. The Democrats promised life would go back to normal if they were elected — they own this now.

Phillipsburg shooting victim back behind bars in N.J. | lehighvalleylive.com
Phillipsburg shooting victim back behind bars in N.J.
Updated March 3, 2016 at 3:10 PM ; Posted March 3, 2016 at 2:19 PM
The victim of a shooting last week in Phillipsburg is back in New Jersey and behind bars.
Almalik Davis, left, and Damir Allen are both charged in a Feb. 26, 2016, shooting in Phillipsburg that wounded Allen. A third, unidentified suspect is still sought. (Photos courtesy Warren County jail, Northampton County Prison)
Damir L. Allen, of Orange, New Jersey, was wounded in a fight that led to gunshots last Friday in the 100 block of Rose Street, authorities allege. At least one bullet struck him in the back of the leg, Warren County Prosecutor Richard Burke said Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Allen fled into Pennsylvania for treatment at Easton Hospital, authorities said. He was taken into custody there and extradited Thursday to Warren County, where he faces two weapons counts and a fugitive charge.
Allen was allegedly shot by 24-year-old Phillipsburg resident Almalik S. Davis, who was imprisoned last week in Warren County on one count of second-degree aggravated assault and three second-degree weapons charges.
Both Allen and Davis illegally had guns, authorities said. They are being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Death on tracks an apparent suicide
Each second-degree charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
A third suspect is believed to have fled with Allen, but that person has not yet been identified, Burke said. It also was not clear what the men were fighting about before shots were fired.
Two nearby schools were placed on lockdown for much of the day Friday as police investigated the scene.

Sachin Tendulkar played cat and mouse with Shane Warne: Brett Lee
Hailing Sachin Tendulkar's batting technique, former Australia cricketer Brett Lee revealed how the Indian cricketer overpowered spin wizard Shane Warne when others failed to read his deliveries.

Sachin Tendulkar in action against Shane Warne. (Archive)
Hailing master blaster Sachin Tendulkar's batting technique, former Australia cricketer Brett Lee revealed how the former Indian cricketer overpowered spin wizard Shane Warne at a time when others failed to read his deliveries.
Speaking on Star Sports' show Cricket Connected, the Australian fast-bowler mentioned that Tendulkar's approach and technique against Warne would force him to change his length with every delivery.
"He used to advance down the wicket a few times and invited Warne to bowl a fraction too short. Sometimes, he would wait patiently on the back foot and play those beautiful shots," Lee said.
"It was almost like he was playing cat and mouse with Warne and not many batsmen can play cat and mouse with Shane Warne because he's so talented. But on days, Sachin Tendulkar was toying with Warne and that does not happen often," he added.
Lee also spoke about the emotions that Warne felt while bowling against Tendulkar, mentioning the latter was mostly successful in picking his deliveries.
"The way Sachin used to read bowlers out of their hand, the different technique he used to play different balls was pure class. There were times when Warne would try and get the trajectory a bit different through the air and sometimes, he would try and get a few balls to drop. Every time he would try the subtle variations, there was only Sachin who would pick them up."
"Warne would bamboozle other batsmen around the world, but Sachin would watch the hand much better than most of the other batsmen. Warne hated it, he would come back and say that he tried everything to get Sachin out, but he couldn't."
Speaking on his experience against the batting legend, Lee said, "I was 22 years when I got my first opportunity to play against the Little Master. I nicked him off and I thought I'm done. I didn't care about a Test match since I was so happy to get Sachin Tendulkar out."
Lee has dismissed Tendulkar five times in twelve Test matches and nine times in 30 ODIs.

It's Jew vs. Jew in France as conflict over women reading Torah turns ugly | Jewish Telegraphic Agency
By Cnaan Liphshiz August 8, 2017 2:21pm
MARSEILLE, France (JTA) — The Edmond Fleg Center is the cultural heart of France's second largest Jewish community, even if its facade resembles a prison.
Jews of all denominations come here for activities and workshops. There's a state-of-the-art cinema, a breezy terrace roof and regional offices of the major Jewish groups in France.
One thing that's absent: a synagogue. And that's by design. The lack of a dedicated space for worship at the center, which was established 53 years ago, is meant to emphasize the shared culture that connects all French Jews, regardless of their level of observance, the center's president, Raymond Arouch, told JTA last month.
But that changed this summer. In June, after hosting an event where women read the Torah aloud, the Edmond Fleg Center for the first time emerged as a flash point that exposed bitter divisions within France's Jewish community.
Held in one of Europe's most deeply conservative Jewish communities, the event triggered furious criticism by religious authorities – including a rabbinical judge who warned of an impending divine reckoning. It also prompted two small demonstrations by young Orthodox men and a slew of insults and threats by other French Jews, in Marseille and beyond.
The violent opposition to the event — a graduation ceremony for a seminar about women in Judaism — surprised and shocked Martine Yana, the center's director. She said the protests demonstrated the need for conversations about women's roles within Orthodox Judaism in France.
Answering this call to arms, a small group of young men twice gathered around the center, asking visitors to boycott the institution in what Yana said was an act of intimidation. Dozens of men and women left offensive remarks on the center's Facebook page or called the center's switchboard.
One of them, a Facebook user by the name of David Bendennoune, wished the center "the same fate as Korah," a biblical rebel whom the earth swallowed whole without a trace.
Yana, for her part, published a statement on the center's Facebook page condemning the violent rhetoric. She told JTA that "the growing radicalism exposed in this affair makes me afraid for my safety, not only from Muslim radicals, but now also from Jewish ones."
As the affair intensified, there was an attempt to temper the flames by the Marseille branch of the Consistoire – a 210-year-old state-recognized Orthodox body that employs rabbis and caters to the religious needs of Jewish communities.
Several prominent Orthodox rabbis have ruled that the reading aloud of the Torah by women at synagogue is permissible according to halachah, the Jewish code of law, as long as the sexes remain separated at synagogue. And in the United States and Israel, some Orthodox synagogues allow women to chant from the Torah, and some employ women as clergy.
But the French Jewish community is "30 years arrears, and continuing to regress," according to Liliane Vana, a philologist and expert on Jewish law and the Talmud — a central text of Jewish tradition. Vana also counsels women and men appearing before the beit din, or rabbinical court, on the dos and don'ts of divorce in Judaism.
Vana, a co-organizer of the controversial event in Marseille, sees this radicalization also in the treatment of gay people. Deviating from a don't-ask-don't-tell modus vivendi of previous years, some Orthodox rabbis in France have begun to refuse to allow gays to take part in religious ceremonies.
This change coincides with a demographic shift within French Jewry, which beginning in the 1950s became predominantly Sephardic following waves of immigration by Jews from North Africa and Arab countries. The influx followed the annihilation of a quarter of France's predominantly Ashkenazi population during World War II.
The perceived radicalization is alienating some French Jews from Orthodoxy and sending into the open arms of the country's small but growing Liberal stream of Judaism. Horvilleur's synagogue, MJLF Beaugrenelle, is one of the best attended in Paris, with hundreds of families filling the synagogue to capacity on holidays.

But the act of digging is associated more with the passing on of special values from generation to generation. Student Answers ashgupta Student it is a nostalgic poem.
Using this he conveys the vagaries of nature. There is also an extended metaphor of digging and roots in the poem, which shows how the poet, in his writing, is getting back to his own identity, and where his family comes from: The poem basically describes his father digging potato drills and the grandfather cutting turf: However one of the vital differences is that in one poem the poet is dealing with suffering caused by nature and the other suffering because of people.
I conclude that, Seamus Heaney is the speaker in this poem, he speaks about his love for his grandfather and his father and how he admired their hard work on the farm.
The final stanza is short again and mostly monosyllabic. Heaney continues to describe the figure of the labourers describing a visual image as though he is observing them from a distance. Alliteration is used to create sharp sounds: His reasons for not doing itwas the chance his own father gave him, sending the young one not seamus heaney digging essay help the field to learn the labour work but he gave him the big opportunity of change for his future, his father send him to School to be educated.
I think it represents how isolated how is from his family because of his different career choice.
This, along with the sentence concluding stanza one, seems to be offering a subtle yet obvious reminder of the past where death was all too frequent.
Clarke believed that once one peace talk was overcome a tremendous obstacle had been removed and that it would be easier for peace to progress.

Crows are also an unpleasant species and using them to describe the labourers portrays an unattractive image and it is as if Heaney is dehumanizing them.
For Heaney, it is his chosen calling as a writer in which he finds solace, which enables him to transfer memories onto paper, giving old thoughts the power to transcend time. How does he convey these ideas to the reader? In the preliminary section Heaney has gradually explored and expanded his meaning from the everyday gathering of the potato crop to highlight its deeper significance when he wants to explore the issue of the Irish famine which still continues to hold scars for the Irish people.
The first of these emotions is fear because of the punishing and deadly force against them in the past with the prolonged famine. Secondly they also show homage because of the initial fear.
So all in all, he draws the conclusion that whilst we must not forget our roots,we must pursue our own passions and dreams in life. The free structure of this poem allows Heaney to freely express his respect of the Irish tradition as well as his pride and dignity towards his ancestors.
In this poem nature is the focus here, as in Whitman, but in contrast with Heaney and Clarke who expand on the themes of nature to provide an Irish dimension.
Although he did not keep the tradition of farm work, because his father gave him the opportunity to study, he uses his family tradition to create the continuity and change that will be and is his family tradition More essays like this: It is a free verse poem written in first person narrative, with eight stanzas containing two couplets.

Bean or grinder problem? - CoffeeSnobs
Bean or grinder problem?
kdnathoo
15 November 2010, 04:07 PM
I just bought some Indian monsoon malabar Beans, I have a vario malkhonig grinder and when grinding the beans they seem to spit out everywhere and make a real mess of the bench. I have tried adjusting the grind to both courser and finer with no change. This is the only batch of beans it has done this with. Really strange
Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to remedy it?
Re: Bean or grinder problem?
Suspect you might need to clean the grinder if you are getting inconsistent grinds. Over time you can tend to get a build up of fines in and around most sweeper vanes below the bottom burr. Cheats way to do a rough clean is to run the grinder while it is being lent forward and give it a couple of good whacks on the side while running it with no beans. Apart from that you will need to remove the upper burr carrier and go from there with a brush etc.

Dr Nate--Monsoon Mal grinds totally differently to most other denser beans, after using MM I had to adjust my grinder about 8 notches upwards to get the correct grind. MM also creates heaps of static and the grinds stick to the chute and chamber.

Similar result with the batch of MM Im using at the moment though only about 4 notches on my Mini.
MM alsocreates heaps of static and the grinds stick to the chute and chamber.
Im about half way through my latest roast of MM and noticed this for the first time today, I suspect it has something to do with atmospheric conditions.

Dogleg's album make me jump and shout
Aidan Mclogan
Dogleg's Album Makes Me Jump and Shout
I discovered Dogleg while at a DIY house show @ The Cave in Ypsilanti, MI.
From Ann Arbor, MI, Dogleg provides you with the perfect combination of catchy melodies, and powerful vocals. There is really no way to categorize this band neatly into one genre or sound, and that's exactly what's great about them. The first time I listened to Dogleg, I felt like an angsty teenager again who just discovered Paramore or Yellowcard. I couldn't help but jump around and scream the lyrics, and release the emotional tension built-up inside my stressed out college mind. Such a sense of innocent joy brought on by the emotional release from music is very under rated, and is a feeling I have yearned for a long time. My favorite part of this band is probably the vocals. Their vocals almost sound painful like the singer's voice is breaking up. Yet their sound remain consistent both recorded and live. This is where this band hits a sweet spot that gives them a lot of their unique sound. The raw energy of the vocals practically invites you to sing along, without caring if you sound perfect. You still crave to sing along. No one song Dogleg has released is quite alike. They sound similar enough, in that they are all clearly written and played by the same folk. But each song is like a different dish in a themed dinner. Each bite has a different flavor.
In their song "Calling Collect", the lyrics that resonate with me are in the beginning of the song. "Getting up is the hardest thing for me to do tonight, never seem to find the right words to say. "I'm ohkay", is the only one that stumbles out of my mouth." I'm not sure what this song is referring to. But there is another part of this song that goes "Help yourself, or help yourself to me. I'm trying to ask you, whats the right thing to do?"
These lyrics remind me of my own struggle with mental health issues. I asked the band what the song was about. According to the band, "Calling Collect is mainly about a battle/conversation with depression. For most of the songs I would portray it as a first-person perspective talking to their condition and trying to rationalize it and make sense of it. Calling Collect is specifically battling with the idea that you're always setting yourself up to fail when dealing with that." Alot of what makes this album so great is how relatable it is. I feel like there is something everyone can relate to in each song. Which again drives home my main point that you just want to sing along when listening to this album. If you are the kind of person who doesn't enjoy going to parties, but would rather jump on your bed and have your own party on a late weekend night, this album is for you! Anyone who doesn't fit in with societal norms can relate to this album. Part of what attributes to this bands sound, is that all their albums have been recorded in a basement. When listening, I thought this album was recorded in a studio. It's really impressive the quality they have gotten outside of a studio. The best way to sum up this bands sound in this album is D.I.Y. Their sound has grown greatly in the D.I.Y community across the midwest. They often can be seen playing with similar sounding bands like Swordfish, Complainer., and mover shaker. These musicians are D.I.Y through and through. Catch them at a local soggy basement punch-dancing near you! Favorite tracks: "Star 67", "Calling Collect", "Remember Alderaan?", and "Crimes".

The 28th AFI Latin American Film Festival showcases the best filmmaking from Latin America and, with the inclusion of films from Spain and Portugal, celebrates Ibero-American cultural connections.
Russian director, actress and long-time collaborator of Ukrainian filmmaker Alexander Dovzhenko (her husband) Yuliya Solntseva directed and starred in more than twenty films. Both Solntseva and Dovzhenko produced "propaganda" films for the Soviet Union that were concerned with the meaning of revolutionary change, but these were films that also prioritized beauty and the poetic, firmly cementing their work in the realm of lyrical visionaries like Terrence Malick. Solntseva's directorial pursuits were developed under the auspices of continuing her husband's legacy, and as a result, her reputation in an auteur-hungry world cinema culture has languished in her husband's shadow. However, Solntseva's singular prowess as a director adapting Dovzhenko's lavish screenplays has been continually touted by such luminaries as Jonathan Rosenbaum and Jean-Luc Godard, and Solntseva was awarded Best Director at Cannes in 1961 for THE STORY OF THE FLAMING YEARS. She was the first woman to win the award, and the only one, until Sofia Coppola's best director win in 2017 for THE BEGUILED. (Note adapted from Museum of the Moving Image.)
Organized by Museum of the Moving Image and guest curator Max Carpenter, with the cooperation of Gosfilmofond of Russia, Mosfilm and the Library of Congress. 70mm prints courtesy of Gosfilmofond.
The 12th annual Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival showcases the best in new horror cinema from around the world at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center.
Featured this year on TWIN PEAKS as Bushnell Mullins, actor Don Murray has a career spanning back to the early 1950s which includes an Oscar®-nominated role opposite Marilyn Monroe (BUS STOP). Throughout his career, Murray has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social service on and off screen, and played roles that other actors weren't willing to risk — a drug addict in Fred Zinnemann's HATFUL OF RAIN, a closeted gay senator in Otto Preminger's ADVISE AND CONSENT. He broke out as an independent actor-producer with THE HOODLUM PRIEST in 1961, but found his vision for similar projects thwarted by the changes that swept over Hollywood and America in the 1960s.
This collaborative series showcases inspiring cinematic stories of courage, hope and determination through international voices and perspectives.
Discover the provocative tales of those who strike out for a new life — facing uncertainty, deprivation and new, often confusing cultures and dangers — as their determination and a longing for a more peaceful life or, in some cases, reunion with beloved family members, propel them to migrate.

Films Across Borders: Stories of Migration is co-presented by AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center; American University School of Communication and College of Arts and Sciences; the Cultural Services of the French Embassy; DC LaborFest; Goethe-Institut Washington; Immigration Film Fest; the Mexican Cultural Institute; the National Gallery of Art; and SPAIN arts & culture.
Inspired by the National Building Museum's exhibition "Architecture of an Asylum: St. Elizabeths 1852–2017," AFI Silver presents two landmark films that depict mental health hospitals not as therapeutic sites designed to heal, but as bleak traps meant to symbolize American society at large. Each film is a masterwork of visual and narrative style, but both deploy similar stereotypes about psychiatric hospitals and the mentally ill — institutions are forbidding and cold, patients are violent, pathetic or funny, and staff is either abusive or indifferent. Produced during a period of widespread hospital shutdowns and reorganization, the films' simplistic characterizations did little to confront the stigma of mental health treatment, despite otherwise succeeding as fierce indictments of social control and dysfunction.
"Architecture of an Asylum" is on view at the National Building Museum through January 15, 2018. More information at nbm.org.

The Silent Cinema Showcase returns! It's the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the unique art of silent cinema and the dedicated and talented musicians who brings these films to life with their inventive accompaniment.
Having apprenticed with various writing and editing roles for David O. Selznick on Oscar® winners A STAR IS BORN, GONE WITH THE WIND and REBECCA, in 1942 Val Lewton (1904–1951) took a job producing horror films for RKO's B unit. His first assignment: take the title "Cat People" and make something out of it, short enough to fit on double bill and on a tight budget. When the resulting film CAT PEOPLE became a surprise hit, Lewton was on his way to a singular, strange career, producing nine seminal horror films in four years. Each film suggested more than it showed through a combination of expressive lighting and atmosphere, obsessive character psychology and sets repurposed from bigger-budget productions, all to impressively terrifying effect. His scripts sometimes drew from rarefied sources (the plot of "Jane Eyre" repurposed for I WALK WITH A ZOMBIE), less from any highbrow snobbery than from knowing a good plot hook when he saw one. For his directors, Lewton hired promising but unproven talents who would all go on to long and distinguished careers: Jacques Tourneur, Mark Robson and 1998 AFI Life Achievement Award recipient Robert Wise. Lewton died at the age of 46 following a heart attack, but his legacy of innovative and inventive film artistry lives on.
2017 marks 100 years since the Bolshevik Revolution. This historical event not only shook the world politically, it empowered — for a time — revolutionary art and artists.
The remarkable sense of creative urgency and radical synthesis within the visual arts — and the aspirations among the Soviet avant-garde to effect unprecedented sociopolitical transformation — resulted in large-scale, state-sponsored experimental filmmaking, at a time when the commercial imperatives of the film business were already entrenched worldwide. Made explicitly for Soviet audiences, some of these films nonetheless were exhibited internationally and hailed for their artistic originality.
Revolutionary Rising: Soviet Film Vanguard is a modest attempt to revisit these films and recognize their legacy, less for their stated ideology than for their innovative techniques and daring approach to film aesthetics. In the oft-quoted words of Vladimir Lenin, "Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important."
AFI Silver once again joins with the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art to celebrate the cinema of South Korea.
The 11th edition of this popular annual survey of one of the world's most dynamic national cinemas features a distinctive selection of new films, including quirky comedies, action-packed crime procedurals and thrilling historical epics.
The festival was organized by Tom Vick, film programmer for the Freer and Sackler Galleries of the Smithsonian Institution. For complete festival information, including films screening at the Freer, visit asia.si.edu/events/films.asp
Thanks to the Korean Cultural Center and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, Washington, DC, for their generous support.

After the last election I was prepared for retirement and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with family and working around our property. I was willing just to sit back and observe from a distance how this Council would operate and deal with the issues of the day. It only took about ten months for me to feel the need to do my part through a community BLOG designed to inform Township residents about what is really going on at their Council table. Since the end of this Council’s first year it has been no secret that there has been an endless number of community based controversies over decisions this council was making on a weekly basis. Observing the actions of Mayor and Council and seeing the absolute frustration on the part of taxpayers and their collective communities, I have reached the point where I cannot sit back and observe any longer without doing something about it. Again I am responding to the urging of a large number of taxpayers who have had enough!
There is a tendency to place our trust in Council members elected to represent us. Although these representatives are elected to look after our best interests, in the case of the majority of current Township of Langley Council they have fatally broken that trust. We need effective REAL Change –
I am committed to changing the way our communities are being treated and the endless number of questionable deals and decisions being made behind closed doors that suffer from a complete lack of transparency and due process. A special deal for friends and insiders comes to mind.
Who is to blame? The blame has to lie squarely at the feet of Mayor Froese and his majority on this Council who have clearly gone past their best before date. Mayor Froese has shown a complete lack of leadership on a variety of issues. It is the Mayor and Council’s responsibility to provide strong and effective leadership for staff in the areas of fiscal responsibility, accountability and Community Vision. The Mayor of the Township must set the course and lead council and staff toward initiatives that will serve the best interests of residents and taxpayers, embracing community input and LISTENING TO THAT COMMUNITY INPUT! Listening to the Mayor’s own words, he doesn’t believe in the public’s right to be heard and listened to.
I have operated my own business with a million dollar payroll, served on many boards both elected and appointed in the private and public sector and served as an Alderman in Delta and Mayor in the Township of Langley (Curriculum Vitae is available)

Tribals In Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon Gets Concrete Bridge After 71 Years
Kondagaon: After 71 years of struggle, the residents of Naxal affected Churegaon village finally got a concrete bridge with the efforts of the Superintendents of Police and the Collector here.
Initially, a wooden structure was constructed for commuting, which now has been transformed into a concrete bridge.
"We had apprehensions of the bridge being destroyed, but now we have made it clear to the Naxals that if they try to hamper the development, they will have to face the consequences," SP Abhishek Pallava said.
"The bridge has solved a lot of our problems. We used to have a tough time commuting when someone fell sick or in case of any other emergency," said a local, Mahendra Kumar.
The 70-meter long bridge was constructed by the district administration in just a month's time.
An elated local, Balram said, "We are very happy. Earlier we had to commute through unsafe means which highly affected the children." Kondagaon collector Neelkanth Tekam said, "This bridge has made life easier not only for Kondagaon, but also for people of Narayanpur and Bastar."

Its a cold four in the morning and its all dark. The lonely beam of the headlights of the car illuminates the way. The road is empty and we are making decent speed. The scenery is still cloaked in darkness and I expect no interruptions. And time passes. A pale pink makes its lazy way over the horizon. The bright green of the paddy fields slowly come into view jarring me out of my drowsiness. And the next moment I bring the car to a screeching halt in the middle of the road.
There is a man walking in front of me. Perhaps in his late middle ages. He is briskly swinging his arms as he ambles forth. From his posture, it appears that this is his morning exercise to stimulate his bowels. Very well. My only wish is that he wouldn't do it in the middle of the road. We pass the man by, who now appears to be searching for a suitable shrub to crouch behind.
Villages pass us by. Its early morning now. The bus-stops by the side of the road are slowly filling with people. A bullock cart or two is visible off the road. So much of the scenery is visible when you are travelling at 10 kph. A very pleasant morning. Keeping company next to us was, it seemed a rather impatient driver in a minibus. The small overloaded tempo blocking his path didn't seem to care. The poor tempo was trying to overtake another small tempo travelling at 9. It was understandable that it took a whole five minutes for that to be successful. And the road was open. Nagarahole awaited us.
The stay was good and the return seemed better. It was late evening on a Sunday. The roads were calm enough and the wind seemed cool enough. Ramanagara was reached in good time. A really good dinner later, we set off behind a long line of lorries. The one behind the others was eager to get ahead and so we stuck behind him. After passing about three lorries, the driver put the indicator to the left. He was assumed to be overtaking from the left and we promptly moved left. But, he had other things in mind. He was simply moving to the left as the rules said he was supposed to. We should have realised this when his indicator actually worked. We were let down by the PB registered lorry. We were in turn passed by about eight cars.
Driving on Mysore road or the SH 17 was done and it was time to head home. Early enough to catch a decent sleep before work tomorrow.

Pleiku Airport in Central Highlands upgraded
09:24 | 29/09/2014
VGP – Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Minister of Public Security Tran Dai Quang, and Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang on September 28 attended a ceremony to kick off the upgrade of Pleiku Airport in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai.
The groundbreaking ceremony of the project to upgrade the Pleiku Airport in Central Highland province of Gia Lai - Photo: VGP
The Airports Corporation of Viet Nam (ACV) was the chief investor of the VND 945 billion project.
Pleiku Airport was built in 1960 for military purposes. It was converted into civil airport since May, 1977. So far, the airport daily serves two flights between Pleiku and Ha Noi; one flight on the Pleiu-Da Nang route and five flights between Pleiku and HCM City.
The upgrade will enable Pleiku Airport to serve for larger aircraft like A320/321and Boeing 737.
Addressing the event, Minister of Public Security Tran Dai Quang, who is also Head of the Central Steering Committee for Central Highlands region highlighted the importance of the airport in boosting local economic development and opening up economic and cultural linkages for three neighbouring countries – Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia.
He urged the Ministry of Transport to assist relevant agencies and local authorities to effectively implement the project on schedule and in good quality./.

Joyful Whimsy: Fresh Quinoa Salad
Summer has finally (!) arrived here in Wisconsin and I couldn't be happier! I heart summer. I love sunshine and water and gardening and camping and campfires in the backyard and early sunrises and late sunsets. Oh, summer! You're the best! I also find it easier to eat healthier in the summer, don't you? I am counting down the days until our farmer's market opens (15!) and next week our first box from the farmer's co-op will arrive on our front porch (yahoo!). My own garden is coming along, too. The strawberry plants have flowers and I almost have enough spring mix to make a salad.
While looking for new recipes that incorporate fresh fruit and veggies, I ran across one for a Sprouted Bean Trio Salad from this fabulous blog. I knew I wanted to give it a try. Well, 4 stores later (seriously!), I still couldn't find the sprouted beans Jo-Anna talked about in her recipe. On the plus side, I got to spend a whole big bunch of time in the health food isles at 4 different stores. And I met some very nice people while searching for those sprouted beans. : ) Finally, I just made the executive decision to swap out the Sprouted Bean Trio for Quinoa. Have you tried Quinoa (keen-wa)? It seems all new and hip, but it's actually been around for 5000 years, since the "mighty Inca civilization of South America" (according to the back of the box). When Quinoa is cooked, it kind of resembles a circular rice, but it's actually a grain that is packed with protein. And it's a wonderful, healthy base for a salad!
Here's the recipe to the one I made above:
(adapted from Jo-Anna's recipe)
1C Quinoa (cook per box directions)
1/4 cup cilantro, (Jo-Anna used mint, but the Terlap's love cilantro!)
Combine all ingredients in a salad bowl and toss. (And yes...I used fresh lemons, parsley and cilantro--it's totally worth it!).
Thanks for the inspiration, Jo-Anna! This one is definitely going in my summer recipe rotation!

Public relations can be a key part of marketing plans | VailDaily.com
Public relations can be a key part of marketing plans
Public relations isn't always the flashiest component part of an organization's marketing strategy, but when done well, it can be among the most effective.
The Vail Local Marketing District uses public relations to create favorable impressions about Vail among readers, TV viewers and audiences of a variety of new media. While it's easy to spot the district's colorful, creative print advertisements, the work of a public relations firm is not always so easy to distinguish.
The results of that work, however, are of extraordinary value. Market research shows that magazine and newspaper articles influence some 80 percent of travel decisions. Destinations that earn significant media coverage are often rewarded with more visitors.
Think of the last time that you flipped through a magazine. Chances are, you stopped and lingered on an article that caught your eye. Perhaps it caused a spark and you folded the page or tore out the article to save for a later date. That article created an impression on you and the subject matter is likely to stay in your mind for a while.
At Peeples Ink PR, we work with the Vail Local Marketing District to identify the right approach to placing favorable news and feature stories. We define strategic direction, determine key messages, target select media and draw on established relationships to maximize exposure among desired audiences. We work closely with our advertising and online agency, HL2 of Seattle, and Untraditional Marketing, which directs special events and promotions marketing. Our objective is to maximize media exposure in a competitive, and sometimes collaborative tourism environment.
How do we measure success? From January through August of this year, there were 1,630 stories about Vail in national and international media, which were read or viewed by some 2.7 billion people. Some of the publications that featured news on Vail were The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, New York Daily News, North Shore Magazine, CNN and Yahoo on-line, Cooking Light, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Dallas Morning News, Newark Star Ledger, Denver Post and The Rocky Mountain News, to mention a few.
A businessman booking a summer vacation may remember an article about Vail he read in the in-flight magazine Hemispheres. Maybe a friend passed along another article on Vail activities and adventures in North Shore magazine. Someone watching "Giada's Weekend Getaways" on The Food Network this winter may be inspired to book a spring vacation after seeing a piece on Vail. All these articles and programs, along with many others, were facilitated by the public relations efforts of the Vail Local Marketing District.
One of the most effective ways to inspire stories about Vail is to bring journalists to experience it first-hand. During the summer of 2007, the district, working with Peeples Ink, hosted 47 journalists. We nurtured relationships with 50 more journalists who visited in the winter. We worked with managers of Vail Resorts, hotels, restaurants, and events who helped assure that the writers and photojournalists conveyed memorable experiences to their audiences.
Another effective PR tactic is to visit select media representatives in their respective markets. For example, Dallas and Chicago media may be targeted for pitches related to direct air service to Vail, while New York City and Philadelphia media may be prime candidates for stories on cultural attractions like Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and the International Dance Festival. Other key markets include Los Angeles, Florida, Atlanta and various communities along Colorado's Front Range.
Our job is to note trends, be on top of what's new and find a pitch that will appeal to the audience. It's part art, part science. It is a constant endeavor.
Placing stories often requires the professional know-how and commitment of many public relations professionals. Peeples Ink works closely with skilled PR professionals from the Vail Valley Partnership, the town of Vail, Vail Resorts, lodging properties and independent agencies representing activities, special events and products. Pooling our collective resources, we provide photography, video footage, story ideas and fact-checking to those writing stories. Quick and accurate responses to journalists' needs can be the difference between a favorable story and a good idea that's never fulfilled.
Integration of marketing and public relations efforts has always been fundamental in the district's work. The goal is to align messages and speak to Vail visitors with a unified voice and with accurate information. Our ultimate objective is to drive business and ensure the guest's expectations meet the experience we, as a community, have presented to them.
Public relations is an important part of meeting that objective. As winter hits Vail we are now reigniting the public relations effort for summer of 2008!
Pat Peeples is the founder of Peeples Ink PR, Ltd., a Vail Valley public relations firm, and a member of the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Committee.

What to Know When Purchasing CBD in Beaumont, TX
Because there are such a vast number various options, it can often be quite challenging to pick the best CBD product for one's needs. While there are, of course, a variety high-quality CBD products that are on the market, there are also many inferior-quality items as well.
To help you avoid the low-quality products and identify the right product for you, here are FIVE things to look for when buying a CBD product.
Product Reputation & Company Reputation: Before you buy any type of CBD product, it's always best to do a little bit of due dilligence. Do a quick Google search of both the brand and the product and verify that both have a good reputation with past shoppers. Always look for any red flags that may indicate that the product is sketchy.
Lab Reports: Before purchasing a CBD product, it is highly recommended to verify that product was tested by a 3rd party laboratory. If the product had not been tested, there's no way to confirm if it is safe to consume. Furthermore, when verifying a product's lab test report, you always confirm that the mg of CBD labeled is accurate.
CBD Type: Is it Isolate CBD, Broad Spectrum, or full spectrum CBD? Each type of CBD provides unique pros & cons, and the type of CBD in the product should align with your needs as well as your budget.
Ingredients: As when purchasing any consumable product, you should always read the ingredients contained in any CBD product you are thinking about purchasing. In general, products with all-natural, organic ingredients are ideal. Furthermore, be sure the product doesn't have any ingredients that you are allergic to or sensitive to.
Standards of Production: How was the product manufactured or produced? Was the CBD produced in a proper facility by a trained team? Is the CBD organically extracted from hemp that was grown in the United States? How were the cannabinoids extracted from the hemp? These are important questions that you need to evaluate when purchasing CBD in Beaumont.
American-Made: When considering hemp, it's always best to choose products that are made in the US with CBD that is extracted from domestically grown hemp. While hemp can be grown in numerous places across the world, America offers the ideal environment for cultivating hemp.

Nexo Price Prediction 2020: What Will Follow? | by ChangeNOW.io | Medium
One thing we all like to do is speculate on the price of your favorite cryptocurrency. Today, we'll take a look at Nexo, the world's first instant crypto-backed loans. It is one of the companies within the blockchain industry that's actively taking on the traditional banking system. Where nowadays most banks are offering negative interest in order to cover up for the current economic state, Nexo is offering 8% interest on a yearly basis. In combination with all this, Nexo token is the functioning part of a dividend program paying out millions to the token holders. Let's see how the token has been performing up till today and where we are heading in the upcoming years.
To understand Nexo correctly, you should know that the project was created by an overseeing company called 'Credissimo'. The company goes back all the way to 2007, back to when no one has ever heard of such a thing called Cryptocurrency. Ever since the company was introduced to the market, the service of offering near-instant loans was a rare thing. It had not been done before the way Credissimo was doing it.
Not so surprising, the company had over 100,000 loan applications by the beginning of 2012. After gradually expanding their business into more and more countries across Europe and now even in Colombia and South America, Nexo decided to scale up even more. From offering their services in the real world, they had decided it was time to serve the entire planet by entering the cryptocurrency market. Thus, Nexo was born.
The beauty of the introduction of the Nexo project and its native token is the fact that it sheds a different light on the ICOs we've seen so far. Most of these companies are new startups that have yet to prove themselves and to come up with a decent product as most of them are nothing but a promising idea. Coming from a company that's been around for more than 10 years, the team behind Nexo had already earned their stripes and gained the experience necessary to penetrate the market thoroughly. The demand for instant-loans within the industry was spotted and acted upon accordingly.
Nowadays, the company offers a couple services. First of all, you can deposit your funds in collateral, in a safe manner protected by Bitgo, to then receive a credit line instantly. No questions asked, no background checks, none of that. You do not need to sell your precious cryptocurrency, yet you're able to enjoy the benefits of having the cash to spend. Another service is earning interest with Nexo.
Simply depositing your funds and storing them with Nexo opens up the possibility of earning you up to 8% on your stored funds. That's a nice way of holding, right? All of the services above are combined in the Nexo Card, a MasterCard that's available to order through the Nexo mobile application. It allows you to spend all across the globe in the local currency with no fees and cashback with every single purchase you make. Sounds good.
Nexo (NEXO) Price Prediction 2018
The idea for Nexo has probably been flowing around the Credissimo office for quite some time. Back in 2016, they had been one of the first companies to handle Bitcoin as the collateral for loans within their company, thus the team being introduced to the cryptocurrency industry. When we skip ahead two years to 2018, the Nexo ICO was held. Being one of the first ICO's after the whole moon-cycle, it was not as guaranteed to instantly receive millions of dollars by investors. Nevertheless, Nexo did great.
They successfully raised 52 million dollars with a token sale that was generously oversubscribed. One of the main incentives for people to purchase and then hold the Nexo token is the dividends that are paid out. 30% of the company's profits are paid out to all token holders. These dividends are based on simply holding but also based on the length of holding your tokens, loyalty brings more rewards.
2018 has been a year for Nexo that allowed them to prove themselves and earn their stripes in the cryptocurrency industry. Straight after their ICO, the token price went up all the way to 0.40 USD, whereas the tokens were sold for 0.10 cents apiece during the ICO. Shortly after though, price plummeted beneath the ICO price gearing up towards a small burst in October 2018 to then move to a more downward spiral.
Nowadays, the token is extremely close to the ICO price of 10 cents. Many speculators called Nexo to reach the 'magical' 1 dollar border in the early days with a circulating supply of 500 million tokens. That never became a reality, but that might be a different story in the future.
Nexo (NEXO) Price Prediction 2020
With Nexo having a year to prove themselves and showing what they're worth, they have managed to come up with some strong statistics to back up their claims;
$700 Million Processed by 20,000 Nexo users
250+ Jurisdictions and 45+ backed fiat currencies
$1+ Billion in Instant Crypto Loan Requests
100,000 followers on all Social Medias combined
The most impressing one here is the 1 Billion plus in loan requests, that's way more than the current value of all Nexo tokens combined and way more than most market caps of the projects in their range.
That's Nexo's way of being smart by offering a wide variety of currencies in combination with their own native token that gains value with every addition of a new currency. The thing is, the bigger the profits are for Nexo, the more dividends are paid out to all the token holders.
The hardest part is keeping up with the competition. After doing just a little digging, tons of loaning platforms are popping up within the industry that are all aiming to receive a share of the market. Where there are others, more decentralized, alternatives, Nexo is straight forward about being a centralized company. In their whitepaper they even state; "The decentralization of lending brings significant costs and slows down the whole process, ultimately resulting in deteriorating user experience".
By this, it goes against the terms of what cryptocurrency should stand for, a decentralized, cut-out-the-middleman type of stance towards the more traditional world. Nexo saw it as an opportunity to benefit from these less user-friendly alternatives and offer a more centralized, but user-friendly way to utilize the loaning experience. In terms of price, it's hard to tell where we're heading next year.
With over half of the tokens that are yet to be released, there's more inflation bound to happen, yet it's unclear to say when this will happen. Speculating on the long-term value for Nexo could be easier than simply looking one year ahead.
When we see the growth that Credissimo and Nexo have gone through in just a few years after their start, it's the future looks promising. Their track record is impressive and by that, there are tons of connections in the real world to lay some important partnerships for Nexo.
In reality, most of the governments and traditional companies will not go in business with the dodgy seeming decentralized parties that they cannot control. They would rather choose a more centralized party that can explain every single thing that's occurring to eventually make it behave their way.
That's where the controversy comes in as most people in the industry do not like centralized parties, yet whenever a project forms a partnership with an established centralized party, it's all smiles and balloons. Thus it's hard to tell what a decent partnership will do with Nexo. Prior to speculating more on the potential outcome of the upcoming years, let's look at the current numbers.
Market Cap: $53,019,269
Circulating supply: 560.000.011 NEXO
When seeing these numbers, there's obviously a ton of tokens that are yet to be released. The vesting schedule by Nexo itself consists out of partly promotional tokens, a piece for development and part of it for the team itself. An assumption that can be made here is that these locked tokens will not be released at the current token price.
In comparison to the price at which the tokens were sold during the ICO we currently have: 0.94x in USD value, 1.99x in ETH value and 0.77x in BTC value. These numbers show that the price is where they initially started, even a little under that. That being said, there's plenty of room to grow. Nexo itself will be incentivized to have a higher token value, then, later on, have the ability to cash out a higher amount for their locked tokens.
The total supply is capped at 1 billion tokens, to see a centralized party reach a 1 billion market cap, is not something extraordinary. In fact, this could just be true considering Ripple to be one of the most centralized parties out there sitting in the top 5 projects. If 1 billion is reached, 1 USD per Nexo could just be a reality.
Let's take a look at the distant future for Nexo. This would mark their business to be running for nearly 2 decades, a lot can happen in two decades. As a nice way of comparing this growth to other tech-sectors, we've taken some historical data and shown the outcome of this in terms of price development.
If Nexo has the average YoY growth that the Internet went through by amount of users (in its adoption phase 1995 / march 2017 = $0.4335
If Nexo has the average YoY growth that Facebook went through (in its adoption phase 2004 / 2016) = $11.16
If Nexo has the average YoY growth that the Mobile Phone went through (in its adoption phase 1993 / 2013) = $0.4120
When we look at these numbers, smiles could appear on the faces of investors. The thing that most of these companies/sectors have in common though, they are used every single day. Loans are not taken out every single day by the same person, yet the same person can google multiple things a day, using the internet, while scrolling through Facebook on their mobile phones.
Still, there are tons of loans that are taken out every single day by different people. Whenever Nexo manages to take a part of this trillion-dollar industry, it's safe to say this company is up for the long run. There is plenty of market share to gain for both the cryptocurrency industry and the loaning sector.
The moment Nexo can make this into reality and grab a substantial part of this market cap, we could just see Nexo reaching into billions in cap, making the Nexo token value rise well beyond $1 dollar.

The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) has established procedures for continuously monitoring, checking and updating the list of the institutions which form the PSRI sector. The aim is ensure that the statistics for this sector are up-to-date, accurate, as homogeneous as possible and sufficiently stable for the purposes of satisfying regular and ad hoc analytical needs, monitoring payment markets in Member States and promoting the smooth operation of payment systems.
The list of PSRIs covers not only the euro area countries, but also the non-euro area EU countries. The list is updated on an annual basis on the ECB's website (www.ecb.europa.eu) under the heading "Payment statistics relevant institutions" ("List of PSRIs").

Cosumnes River College football team
Get the facts about Cosumnes River College football team, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Cosumnes River College Football information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Cosumnes River College.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Avila University athletic department may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Cosumnes River College football team, you may think about Mohawk Valley Community College online technical training for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
Regarding whether to choose the SAT or ACT, there is no penalty for guessing wrong answers on the ACT, but on the SAT, incorrect guessing is penalized. Some SAT questions can be trickier while some ACT questions may be longer. The ACT has more questions geared to higher levels of mathematics, suggesting that students who do well in math may perform better, but that the SAT may be a better choice for students with a strong vocabulary. In order to complete the sat test program, Grove City College database design information may be used in order to fulfill computing breadth requirements.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting test scores into admissions criteria. One benefit of the ACT test is that it allows you to select specific colleges to which to send scores. Students should practice taking the test under simulated testing conditions, and wear a large watch with a sweeping second hand. On average, over half of those retaking the SAT or ACT tests saw improvements in their scores. Alternatively, focusing on business study via Dominican University on-campus jobs, for example, can help you find a rewarding position in corporate consulting services.
Technical programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you may earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist. By staying true to your career interests, your lifetime job earnings will increase as you gain experience. If you're already employed in a technical field, you may consider Guilford College physics courses online as an option to advance your career. Massive open online courses are known as MOOCs, utilizing interactive platforms such as Blackboard, and mobile apps. For example, Khan Academy now offers free distance education served through YouTube videos. Then there's Western Oregon University Visual Basic programming, with enrolled students from around the world.
Admissions offices require an official transcript documenting the classes you have completed. Further, virtually all accredited colleges and universities require students to take either the SAT Test or ACT Exam. For information about which tests you should take, talk to an academic advisor at the colleges you are interested in attending. The 4-hour SAT test contains three sections, namely writing, critical reading, and mathematics. Most of the questions are multiple-choice, although there is an essay writing section. The ACT measures what you've learned in school, as opposed to the SAT, which focuses more on reasoning ability. The ACT consists of four multiple-choice tests: English, reading, mathematics, and science. If your college requires a writing test, you can take the ACT+ Writing. Other college admissions information sources, like University of Kansas admissions test, promote the use of standardized tests in admissions decisions because of the differences in course requirements, high school GPA, and grade curve difficulty among US schools. You can also explore University of South Alabama principles, in order to further target your academic interests.
High school grades are the most important admissions factor in getting accepted to the college of your choice, along with letters of recommendation and standardized test scores. According to data on Cumberland University transfer courses pages, an outstanding academic record consists of a high GPA in courses of increasing difficulty. Almost half of colleges use placement tests and a waiting list, and most community colleges have transfer agreements in place with bachelor's degree programs at four-year colleges and universities. You should compare Miami Dade College general catalog with other schools that you're considering.
Student loans may originate from the federal government or from private sources such as a bank or credit union. Consolidation loans allow you to combine all of your eligible federal student loans into a single loan, often with reduced monthly payments. Financial aid may be administered via Point Park University financial aid award or through academic departments. Alternatively, student credit cards may seem like a good short-term solution, but the interest rates are high, and credit cards often carry an annual fee. A credit card can help you build a credit history, if you use it wisely. But use it for emergencies only and don't spend more than you can afford to pay back. If you decide to get a credit card, make sure you understand the terms, and try to meet your minimum monthly payments on time. If you do not, the credit card companies can raise your interest rate suddenly and without prior notice. This can translate into a ballooning debt payment that becomes unmanageable.
As the US economy keeps improving, many school districts are seeking to hire new graduates in the fields of business administration, engineering, and medical services. Whether you have foreign language internship experience, or are a recent college graduate, you may consider seeking a new career. Jobs for language majors are always in demand, and fields such as business finance, marketing, and office management are some of the fastest growing corporate fields. Finding out about LA City College hotel administration, on the other hand, may broaden your college education in order to appeal to a wider variety of employers.
Apply to several colleges and universities at the same time, and if you have the grades and test scores, give yourself a chance to gain admission to an accredited employment program by doing something outstanding in either high school or community college. Cosumnes River College applications may be submitted by using the contact form at the top of this page. It may be possible to complete some of your degree requirements online, thereby saving money on tuition costs and course fees. It isn't difficult to find articles in US News & World Report magazine written about Snow College admissions mailing address. An advanced degree will stick with you for a lifetime, so apply yourself and work hard for a few years, graduating from the best college that you can get into.

10 Electrifying Teaser Trailers from the 2000s – APOCAFLIX! MOVIES
It's a great time for blockbuster films in Hollywood. Four films have crossed the billion dollar mark at the box office. Comic book films are in a golden era, with the dominance of Marvel and the resurgence of DC/Warner. These accomplishments have been rewarding for us fans, but it's not possible without the hits and misses from the previous decade of blockbusters. Looking back, it was certainly a promising decade for blockbusters in the 00's. Sure not every film was a success and some gave us nightmares, but I'll sometimes go back and revisit the teaser trailers for those films and get reminded of how excited I was at the time.
Here's a list of 10 teaser trailers that electrified audiences with excitement. Get ready to revisit a time when you were actually excited for movies like 'Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' and 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'.
Remember how we all thought 'Revenge of the Sith' would be the last Star Wars film ever made? Fast forward a full decade later and we're now getting ready to see the first film in a new trilogy. Going back to '05, many fans were fed up with George Lucas' prequels. However, he had one more important chapter to tell, and one many of us were excited to finally see. This teaser trailer might be the greatest ever made, because its intention is to tease an end to a story that started back in 'A New Hope'. How could you not be excited then?
Christopher Nolan gave the perfect tease at the end of 'Batman Begins' with the joker card. The first time I saw this trailer was on G4 back when it was on TV. I speak for everyone when I say we lost our minds when we saw the Joker card, and heard the Joker's laugh. Heath Ledger gave us one of the greatest onscreen villains with his Oscar winning performance. I still get chills from this teaser trailer. It didn't give anything away, and yet it said so much about what's in store for Batman.
Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and a story written by George Lucas. What could possibly go wrong? This might have been the most promising teaser trailer on this list, and its because it didn't include poor CGI, monkeys, and aliens. I loved how this teaser trailer was self aware. "This won't be easy. Not as easy as it use to be." Despite all of this film's problems and being easily the worst in the franchise, its still a guilty pleasure for me.
Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire gave the comic book genre and its fans something unexpected, yet amazing with 'Spider-Man'. Expectations for the sequel were high, but Raimi and company stepped up to the challenge. This teaser trailer starts off great with Mary Jane and Peter Parker talking intimately, and then Doc Ock makes a menacing entrance. From there the franchise score sets the tone for Spider-Man's fight against his best friend, an even dangerous villain, and himself.
This trailer is just awesome on so many levels. The visuals from Zack Snyder, the music from Nine Inch Nails, and of course Gerald Butler's famous line as King Leonidas. I thought Zack Snyder was the perfect choice for Frank Miller's graphic novel adaptation. This trailer prepared us for a new version of Spartans, with more violence and thrills. I get so amp'd up whenever I see this.
This might be the most deceiving trailer on the list, because it shows the only good scene of the film. But lets pretend for a second we didn't know that. How cool is it seeing the Human Torch pursue the Silver Surfer throughout New York? If this was a taste of things to come in the sequel, then we were all in for a treat. Unfortunately, we were all very wrong!
Saying that people everywhere were nervous about this film is an understatement. Few people wanted this film to happen, and it mainly had to due with the casting of Brandon Routh. While I understand fans connection to the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeves films, lets not forget 'Superman III' & 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace'. This property needed a reboot. Bryan Singer tried to make Superman a modern adventure with many callbacks to the older films. Unfortunately the end result didn't work for many viewers. Still, when this teaser trailer released it calmed the storm from many fans worries, because its great and somewhat nostalgic.
You cannot have epic teaser trailers from the 00's and not include 'The Lord of the Rings'. The adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien's famous novels were finally hitting the big screen, and at a time when CGI was beginning to advance. This teaser trailer promised an extraordinary adventure told in three films releasing three consecutive years in a row. Seeing the members of the fellowship pass one by one is something special for fans of the books. Thankfully, Peter Jackson delivered on a grand scale with each of the films.
Not much is happening in this teaser trailer, but that doesn't mean it wasn't effective. The trailer is a slow buildup featuring famous quotes from mankind. Then we slowly get hints of Star Trek by the tone and music, until we finally hear the famous words be spoken "Space, the final frontier" followed by a shot of the U.S.S Enterprise. This was such a perfect teaser capped off by the iconic logo, then the words "under construction".
Once again, another slow trailer, yet it was effective and suspenseful. Audiences had no clue what would happen to Mars rover, and even when the robot attacked it audiences were still curious. Then the title 'Transformers' appears and we all went nuts during that moment, especially when it shifts into the Autobot symbol. Its a perfect teaser for what would be the only good film in the franchise.
Thanks for reading and taking this short trip down memory lane. Which film were you the most excited about? Which one disappointed you the most?

The Servants of God Mother Riccarda Hambrough and Mother Katherine Flanagan, English women called to serve the Church as Bridgettine nuns, provided a courageous witness during the Second World War, sheltering Jews from Nazi persecution. Their story is the story of many religious in wartime Italy, and it provides a special insight into the role of the Church, often much misunderstood, and of Pope Pius XII himself. Here is a clear account of the inspirational lives of these two holy women, and of the heroic stance of the Pope himself.
Mother Riccarda is remembered especially for helping to hide about sixty Italian Jews from the Nazis during the Second World War in her Rome convent. Born in 1887, she was baptised at St Mary Magdalene's Church, Brighton, at the age of four after her parents converted to the Catholic faith. The parish was then in the Southwark diocese. She was guided towards the Bridgettine Order by Father Benedict Williamson, who was the Parish Priest of St Gregory's Parish, Earlsfield, between 1909 and 1915. Sister Katherine Flanagan was baptised at St Gregory's Church, Earlsfield. She too, was guided by Fr Benedict Williamson and joined the Bridgettine sisters. She spent many years at the Bridgettine convent in Rome, and later became the Mother Superior to various Bridgettine communities.

NFL: Trevor Siemian looking to keep starting role for Denver Broncos
Trevor Siemian/ photo by Jeffrey Beall via Flickr
Paxton Lynch and Trevor Siemian compete to determine who starts for coming NFL season
July 26, 2017 at 5:31 PM July 26, 2017 at 5:31 PM
Trevor Siemian may be expecting to resume his chores as starting quarterback though he needs to work for that once more. The Denver Broncos do have Paxton Lynch who could show up the 25-year-old though it all depends on what coach Vance Joseph sees.
The Broncos will hold their first practice on Thursday with Siemian getting the first crack as a starter and then Lynch, a familiar pattern Denver does for its offseason program. It will be a long spring for Siemian and Lynch though the final decision will not be known until the summer.
Starting job is Siemian to lose
One thing working for Siemian is that he did impress during the 2016-17 NFL season. He was under a lot of pressure, trying to fill in the shoes of Peyton Manning who opted to retire after Super Bowl 50.
Siemian found himself inheriting the job when erstwhile Manning successor Brock Osweiler elected to move to the Houston Texans. Apparently, the move was a blessing in disguise for the Broncos with Osweiler turning out to be a disappointment. He was eventually traded to the Cleveland Browns after one dismal season in Houston.
For the Broncos, giving Siemian the opportunity turned out quite well. He did have highlights for the 2016 NFL season, including being the first quarterback in NFL history to throw 300 yards and completed four touchdowns with no interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Broncos did not make the playoffs but the performance of Siemian was something to look forward to. In fact, his 18-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio outperformed the tandem of Manning and Osweiler during the 2015 season.
Lynch knocking on the door
While Siemian seems to have proven his worth, he cannot sit back and relax.
Paxton Lynch is looking to impress as well. He did show promise towards the end of the offseason program so Joseph could give him more opportunities to show what he can do. But would it be enough for him to land a starting role?
Lynch is technically still a work-in-progress, meaning he still needs polishing. He has shown to have the talent for the game though most know that throwing the ball downfield is not all that counts.
Like most budding players, Lynch has to show Joseph and the Broncos coaching staff wise decision-making and the ability to handle pressure. That is perhaps one department Siemian holds over him though anything can change if Joseph sees the potential.
Lynch is a fighter but needs to play wisely. He did get sacked six times, a record for a Broncos rookie. Tough as nails, the 23-year-old needs to play wise since he is of no use if he ends up getting a concussion and thus spending more time in sick bay.

The idyllic fishing village is on the northern coast of Mljet Island. It is a particularly attractive destination for those who want to relax in a peaceful environment. It is characterised by crystal clear waters and untouched nature, with a beautiful view over the Pelješac Peninsula. If you get hungry, visit Riva or Mungos Konoba.
Suđurađ lies in the eastern part of Sipan, which is the largest member of Elaphiti Islands. Saint Durda Church stands out among the typically Dalmatian stone buildings; it also the namesake of the town. There are cosy konobas near the port such as Orica and Stara Mlinica.
The tiny Croatian limestone island is an incredibly popular hiking spot. It has a botanical garden and landscaped promenades; Fort Royal with its amazing view is also located here. Another must-see sight is the shallow saltwater lake called Mrtvo More.
After we return our ship, it is worth exploring Cavtat if we still have some time. The most important sights to see can be found along the boardwalk. Examples include the Church of St. Nicholas, the Church of Our Lady of the Snow and the childhood home of the most famous Croatian painter, Vlaho Bukovac. Rector’s Palace, which operates as a museum today, has a collection of interesting items. The Galija Taverna is an excellent restaurant; we must definitely try the local red wines here.

Thick thoughts in thin days – Do good feel good
Category: Thick thoughts in thin days
Choose to be happy : )
It's not about your age, your financial statement, your appearance, your background, your race, your gender, it's about your choices. Do you want to be happy?
If things are out of your reach, let it go. That minute you regret and torture yourself would be wasted 60 seconds.

Beloved art school
Such a beautiful and meaningful project. Actually, the design package is also nice. But the message inside is so strong!
I visited the National Taiwan University of the Arts last fall by accident, I wanted to see an art museum and I ended up coming to an amazing art campus up in the mountain. The area was so fresh and it just took around 45-minute by bus from downtown Taipei. I'd say it was the best experience I had so far with a boring place like school, college or university, prison of young humans. You name it!l I had come to visit couple art schools in North America like Massart in Boston, RISD in Providence, Sheridan in somewhere closed to Toronto, Vancouver Film School and Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, OCAD in Toronto. None of them made me feel like home. But this university complex in Taipei fitted me well maybe because of the relaxing, quiet space. Really love Taipei though : ) Also, Jiufen Mountain area was just around 2-hour by bus from downtown. The movie Spirited Away by Miyazaki Hayao was inspired by this area. The food was good and very affordable. People were also very nice.

airform archives: light forms...
These are just beautiful images and text…I wasn't aware of this book, though I love scientific works that also exist poetically…and poetry/narrative that has been informed by the study of science. Some of my favorite authors/artists (and, seemingly, most mystical in that the work appears to touch upon the absolute while looking at the natural world) began life as scientists…botanists in particular.
yeah, i was totally blown away by the images.i don't think this book is particularly famous. i looked it up online and couldn't find much on lewis wright. there were a lot of books like this at the time, with science experiments that seem mundane, but the descriptions and visual illustrations are quite poetic. indeed this merging of the natural world and the mystical was powerful at this time, particularly as you mention, in literature and poetry. i love a lot of german and scandinavian literature from this time for those reasons...

The perpetrator used multiple anonymous accounts, creating new profiles whenever they were deleted or blocked and posting hundreds of comments. The K2-FIN team started out by going through each one in detail looking for identifiers, and leveraged several tactics to uncover the nefarious actor's identity, including the following:
Analysis of language: The content of the troll's posts contained deliberate misinformation about their identity and whereabouts, but certain colloquialisms and references to product names allowed investigators to pinpoint their country of origin, while the tone of their messages allowed the team to correctly identify that they were the same gender as the client.
Familial tracking: In this case, it was not friends, family, or colleagues, but particular niche interests and small online communities that the troll had previously belonged to and still gravitated toward. For example: they directed abusive messages at one specific group of the client's supporters, in a manner that strongly suggested a prior relationship with some of these people.
Sticky usernames: The troll had previously used variations on the same distinctive username across multiple online profiles dating back more than a decade. It may seem counterintuitive that someone trying so hard to mask their identity would leave such an obvious clue, but it is something that repeatedly appears in online investigations: People grow attached to their usernames, either due to sentimentality or convenience. Even when creating a new account, they revert to something familiar when prompted to enter a username. In this case, the troll's username turned out to be their childhood nickname combined with other personally identifiable information.
Abandoned profiles: It was evident that the perpetrator had forgotten about some of their older, more candid, social media profiles or believed they had done enough to wipe their activity on them. However, the internet never forgets. Leveraging search tools to access databases that collect information scraped from social media in real time, the team uncovered a rich archive of information available long after it had been deleted.

Monday, August 29, 2016 | Global News, GST, India, Taxation,
Revolution is a way forward for mankind into a new, better and advance socio-economic world. History has proved its worth and showed us some of the world's biggest reforms and great revolutionaries. One of such situation prevailed in our country 16 years back when the concept of Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced. Long time it took to create unison among parties and form a consent on the passage of the bill. Finally, the 122nd constitutional amendment was passed in Rajya Sabha followed by Lok Sabha and then to be passed by State legislative assemblies, which is then to come into effect from 1 April 2017.
THE NEED OF GST-
Under GST a nationwide common market for the transaction of Goods and Services is to be forged under a GST Council which when integrated with latest IT technology will make a well knitted economic network having potential to turn the trade smooth and a greater GDP.
Foremost is the cascading effect of tax which in turn increases the cost of finished goods or services. Each time an object is sold from one vendor to another, cost increase due to cascading of Sales tax which is born by the vendor. In order to remove this taxation fault and rising prices, Value added Tax (VAT) was introduced which partially removed the defect, covering only goods. Now, with GST on board, central government, and state government agreed to abandon excise-service tax and VAT respectively and more than 9 taxes to be subsumed within it.
Besides, a single unified market for trade and same treatment for goods and services will eliminate many problems creating situations. Prime Minister has called it a step towards Cooperative Federalism. All Underground economy, Inspector Raj will fade away, integrating with Aadhaar it will stop leakages in subsidies and with time provide greater transparency in the system.
One nation, One tax. Being indirect tax it is regressive in nature and has very wide coverage base which will affect both rich and poor an absolute equal figure demanding more from later. Estimated in 2003, uniform tax rate to be 12% but with time passing by it has drifted to 18-19%. Countries with GST showing positive upside growth had their rich population largely surpassing the poor which is not the case in India but sure India is world's fastest growing large economy.
GST regime itself is divided into Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) with predefined shares. Assistance in ease of doing business by combining different departments into single unit reducing bureaucratic hassle. But, the autonomy of states to impose regional taxes (except for alcohol) will go in vain as no taxes rather than GST would be implicated.
Overall expectations are high as the effective tax rate on goods will decline sharply depending on nature of goods and services. With reduced rate, Indian goods will be ready to compete in international markets. This also will increase absorption rate in the domestic market as produced goods, services will be available at lower price, this circulating money can turn capital and utilized by industrialists and government to maximize skill operations and job creations to a great extent. Incorporated with recent FDI reforms, GST regime can pave a path for accelerated GDP growth and moving towards an efficient and coordinated taxation system.

ipodtouchy333Feb 2, 2008, 09:49 AMHello, I'm wondering if I bought a macbook air now before revision 2, if later I could switch out the 80gb hard drive for lets say a 128 SSD in like 6 months becasue the prices are going down. I have heard you can switch these out but will it void the warranty is my concern??? Thanks
jameskohnFeb 2, 2008, 10:17 AMwww.thinkmacbookair.com
switzFeb 2, 2008, 10:25 AMApple can take the position that any alteration to the shipped unit voids their warranty. The only exception has been typically for systems that allowed user memory alterations. However, if there was a problem, one had to retain the originally shipped Apple memory to verify the non-Apple installed memory was not the culprit. :eek:
If you go to the iFixIt web site and see the details to disassemble the MBA, there are several opportunities to damage things. The hypothetical 128Gb SSD power use and heat release would need to be the same as or lower than the 80Gb Hd currently shipping. Also the thickness will have to be less than or equal to the 64 Gb SSD which implies the next generation of chips that will fit in the same form factor. :o
If Apple installs a 128Gb SSD in the future, one could pay their inflated price and possibly have an Apple store install it and that would protect your warranty. ;)

Lending Tree: Indy Residents Do a Good Job Managing of Their Credit | 93.1 WIBC

Lending Tree: Indy Residents Do a Good Job Managing of Their Credit
Indy finished firmly in the middle of the pack of the website's 50-city list. That's both a good and a bad thing.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Nearly half of all American adults, including many Hoosiers, are struggling to make ends meet and living beyond their means. But a new survey shows that people in Indianapolis are doing a pretty good job of managing their credit.
Online lending exchange site Lending Tree ranks Indianapolis number 30 in its list of 50 metropolitan cities with the best credit performance.
To come up with their ranking, Lending Tree experts looked at 4 key areas:
Mortgage debt relative to their income
Non-housing debt relative to their income
Percentage of credit lines used
How often people are opening new lines of credit
Brian Karimzad, Vice President of Research at LendingTree, says people in Indianapolis are managing their credit cards well.
"They are pretty responsible on not maxing out their credit cards. The other place they are doing well is on housing costs. The average mortgage debt balance for someone in Indianapolis is just around $52,000. For comparison, the average for the 50 largest metros is $67,000," Karimzad said.
The main area of concern for folks in Indianapolis, according to Karimzad, is debt that falls outside of housing and credit cards.
"That usually ends up being car loans and student loans. Generally, the culprit here is car loans. The average balance in Indianapolis of these installment accounts is $25,000," explains Karimzad.
"It's just a bit of above the national average, but Indianapolis residents also have incomes that are below the national average. So, maybe you could consider a used vehicle the next time you have to get one."
Karimzad recommends shopping around for car loans rates before you get to a dealer when you buy your next car.

medical negligence Current News, Breaking News - BelleNews.com
Home Tags Posts tagged with "medical negligence"
You may not like the treatment you have received from your doctor or your hospital. But, that does not necessarily mean you have been the victim of medical negligence. Your care team may have done everything that they could and still not managed a favourable outcome. So, just how do you decide whether you or your loved one has suffered from medical or clinical negligence? Well, there are four main stages or elements used for determining whether medical negligence has taken place…
First, you must show that the individual or organisation you believe caused you to suffer unnecessarily had a duty of care to you. While in other cases of negligence, this could be hard to prove, in medical negligence, when you are talking about doctors, nurses, dentists, opticians or other healthcare professionals, it's usually a simple step. As soon as a clinician or medical professional has accepted a responsibility to provide care or treatment to a patient, then they owe a legally enforceable duty of care to them.
Once you've proved that duty of care existed, then the next step is to show there has been a breach of that duty. It comes down to whether the standard of medical treatment you received was not up to scratch. A clinician may have failed to do something. Perhaps, for example, they have failed to diagnose a condition which they should reasonably have been expected to spot. Or they could have done something they shouldn't have. In extreme cases, surgeons have operated on the wrong side of the body or anaesthetists have made mistakes leading to patients waking up mid-operation. Of course, not everything goes perfectly and mistakes do happen. That doesn't mean medical negligence has occurred in all cases.
This stage involves showing that the injury or condition you're suffering from has been caused as a direct result of the negligent treatment you have received. Any pain or suffering that could have been expected as a result of treatment won't be taken into account. In medical negligence, you are essentially claiming for any pain or suffering which is additional or which should not have happened at all. This part of any action is often referred to as the "but for" principle. For example, but for the surgical swab left inside her body, she wouldn't have needed extra surgery or but for the lack of a diagnosis, her condition could have been successfully treated.
Once the initial stages have been proved, then it is up to you to show that you have suffered a loss or damage as a result of the negligence you have suffered. This isn't limited to financial damage. You may have suffered from emotional damage as a result of losing a loved one due to medical negligence or of suffering a serious injury yourself. You may also have suffered a financial loss. Perhaps, for example, you've been unable to work for a period of time because of the negligent treatment which took place. Or maybe you've had to give up work to care for a family member who has suffered as a result of medical negligence.
When we're ill or injured, it's natural to put our faith in the hands of medical professionals. Usually, that faith is more than justified. But, when it's not, it's important to think about whether the care you've received could have been negligent under these four stages, to make sure you get any compensation you're entitled to.

Virginia confirms South African coronavirus variant case in adult resident - EarthInfoNow
HomeHealthVirginia confirms South African coronavirus variant case in adult resident
February 8, 2021 Health Comments Off on Virginia confirms South African coronavirus variant case in adult resident
Virginia health officials confirmed last week that the state had detected its first case of the South African coronavirus variant. The case was confirmed in an adult resident of Eastern Virginia, and officials were working to assess the person's travel history.
The variant has also been detected in South Carolina and Maryland, and is more transmissible than the other coronavirus strains. The state learned about the case through testing conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"CDC notified Virginia of the case that was identified through these efforts at a commercial laboratory," a statement from the Virginia Health Department said. "In addition to this case of the B.1.351 variant, four cases of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant have now been identified in Virginia. With the combined state and national surveillance efforts, it is likely that additional cases with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern will be identified."
Health officials said it is "critical that all Virginians comply now with mitigation measures," as the state races to stop the spread of the variants.
"The more people that become infected, the greater that chance the virus will mutate and a variant will arise that could undermine the current vaccination efforts," officials said.
Virginia is currently vaccinating residents who fall into either Phase 1a or Phase 1b categories including frontline essential workers, people ages 65 and older and those ages 16-64 with an underlying medical condition. People in correctional facilities, homeless shelters and migrant labor camps are also eligible under Phase 1b. The state will next move onto vaccinating other essential workers categorized as Phase 1c, although it is not clear when.
The state has administered over 1.1 million doses of vaccine, with nearly 207,000 residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

J&K Bank's senior presidents receive warm send-off | Kashmir Reader
J&K Bank's senior presidents receive warm send-off
By Reader Correspondent on July 2, 2015 Comments Off on J&K Bank's senior presidents receive warm send-off
SRINAGAR: J&K Bank Wednesday gave a warm send-off to its Senior Presidents Roop Krishan Shah and Meera Jamwal, who retired on June 30.
Throughout their service career spanning around three decades, they played an important role in different capacities and headed some of the critical departments in the Bank, the Bank said in a release here.
Speaking on the occasion Chairman and CEO of the Bank, Mushtaq Ahmad, said, "J&K Bank is by all means the state's flagship company and it is the contribution of officers like R K Shah, Meera Jamwal and others that has guided this organisation towards the excellence in business and other areas."
"Now the young leadership of the bank needs to build over the legacy and achieve higher goals in future", he added.
Thanking the bank and his career-long colleagues, R K Shah said "This organisation has given me much more than I could contribute. I have received love and respect here, for which I thank all my colleagues wholeheartedly who worked with me to make these years cherish-able for the rest of my life."
Meera Jamwal was also all praise for her colleagues who, according to her, supported her during all these decades in the Bank.

Jessica Litman argues that the basic reproductive unit of U.S. copyright law, the copy, "no longer serves our needs, and we should jettison it completely" (180). The challenge posed by modern technologies is central to her argument. Computers routinely produce "copies" of program code and data in use. Litman suggests that use—distinguished as commercial or non-commercial—would be a better way of organizing copyright legislation. But use is a complex and nuanced term, especially when applied to one ubiquitous reproductive technology, photography.
Photography can be described as a group of technologies with multiple uses. Reproduction, in the sense of making copies, is only one aspect. For the average snapshooter, a photograph of a relative is not used to "copy" them, but rather to depict a likeness as a trigger for memories. Industrial uses of photography are different. Large-scale integrated circuits are fabricated using photographic technologies. Dark and light areas in a negative detect if a resistant mask should be deposited; the negative presents a mapped description of circuit pathways. Much like the copies found in computer program code, reproduction occurs without recognizable depiction. The photographic functions of reproduction, depiction, and detection are separate (Maynard, Engine and "Talbot's Techonologies"). I agree with Litman's contention that the term copy has lost its utility, not merely because of digital technology, but because of technology in the broadest sense. Distinguishing between description and depiction differentiates between the "copies" computers use and copies as reproductions. The transitory "copies" of data present in digital technology are sets of instructions describing a tangible or ephemeral object—music, pictures, and words. Like the photographic negatives used to manufacture integrated circuits or circuit boards, the copied data tells machines how to reproduce objects. It neither depicts, nor reproduces them.
These subtle distinctions are present in U.S. copyright law, but only in regard to architecture. Descriptions of buildings, in the form of plans, can be copyrighted.1 However, 17 U.S.C. §120(a) provides for a right of depiction:
Photography's depictive power is often conflated with the descriptiveness of its reproductions. Its ability to describe physical objects into two-dimensional projections is unparalleled. Photographs "tell" us things about the subject, but also provide raw material for imagination. A photograph is not a "copy" of its subject. I am sympathetic to Kendall L. Walton's controversial assertion that depictive photographs are essentially fictions facilitating imagination. "To be a depiction is to have the function of serving as a prop in visual games of make believe" (Walton, Mimesis 296). A depiction does more than "copy" reality. Nonetheless, because of the power of its descriptions, photography is more suspect than painting or sketching. A person sketching a public landmark is less likely to be interrogated than a person with a camera. The right to photograph in public does not exist by statute, except in the case of architecture.
Following a 2005 controversy regarding Anish Kapoor's sculpture Cloud Gate, this chapter revisits the concept of reproducibility in art. Kapoor's sculpture captured the imagination of Internet users who warned of a new prohibition of photography taking hold. Though Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" loses some of its prophetic luster in the aftermath of Cloud Gate, most of the mechanisms involved remain relevant. As a monument to capitalism and a "copyrightable" property, the sculpture provides a locus for discussing the right to photograph in public spaces and the use of media, both new and old.
Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate is a publicly visible sculpture located in Millennium Park, Chicago. The park was proposed in 1996 to occupy a twenty-four-acre site, with a budget of $150 million. Originally slated to open in 2000, the park debuted in mid-2004. Changes in the project necessitated the formation of a nonprofit corporation, Millennium Park Inc., headed by former Sara Lee CEO John Bryan. With corporate support, the budget grew to $475 million, received from public and private contributions.2 Cloud Gate was made possible by an $11.5 million-dollar grant from SBC Telecommunications, and was incomplete when the park opened. Composed of 168 stainless steel plates, its welds had not been polished. Although the opening was premature, Kapoor remarked: "At least it's there on the opening day, if only as a semi-finished object. One gets a sense of what it's going to be" (Nance 64). Citizens and the media in Chicago designated the structure as "the bean" before it was properly titled. Kapoor was not amused:
I'd just as happily do without a title, actually, except that it suggests a possibility of interpretation. In this case, the work is clearly reflecting what's around it, picking up the Chicago horizon, the Chicago skyline—bringing it into itself, in a way. And it is a gate—a gate to Chicago, a poetic idea about the city it reflects. To call it something else damages the potential for a different way of thinking about the piece. (Nance 64)
Titles, according to Kapoor, focus our thoughts on what the sculpture might depict. Measuring sixty-six feet long, thirty-three feet tall, and weighing 110 tons, Cloud Gate has a certain gravitas undercut by the diminutive title of "bean." This early controversy makes it easier to differentiate between a descriptive label such as "the bean" and its depictive one, Cloud Gate. There is nothing aside from respect to prevent false labeling of the sculpture. There is no law against it. Richard Rezac, a sculptor and professor at the Art Institute of Chicago, remarked about the nickname: "I think it's a trivialization of his efforts, his ideas and his basic intention." Further, Rezac elaborates on an important aspect of the work: "The fact that it's reflective, that it functions as a mirror, is the whole essence of the work" (Nance 64). Control over what depictions of Cloud Gate reflect has been a problem for both the sculptor and the City of Chicago.
On January 27, 2005, the blog New (sub)Urbanism reported on an emerging story: professional photographer Warren Wimmer was stopped by a security guard from photographing Cloud Gate. Ben Joravsky's article "The Bean Police" in the Chicago Reader was ground zero. Depictions of this event on the Internet caused a stir. BoingBoing picked up the story on February 6, and links multiplied. The City of Chicago vowed to drop its permit fee for professional photographers in Millennium Park on February 17. A follow-up article by Joravsky seemed to settle the issue on February 11. Another article in the Christian Science Monitor on March 30 went largely unnoticed by bloggers (Kleiman). The issues raised in this interface of media, technology, and public space deserve careful unpacking
Reaction by the media had nothing to do with Cloud Gate as a work of art. "The Bean Police" discovered that professional photography in Millennium Park requires a permit. Wimmer, to avoid purchasing this permit, bribed a security guard. He was also warned not to sell any photographs of Cloud Gate. Joravsky's research made it clear that the restrictions on photography in public parks applied not only to Cloud Gate, but to all professional photography in any city park. But his selective subtitle read: "The city's charging some photographers hundreds of dollars to take pictures in Millennium Park," highlighting Chicago's newest attraction. Titling the follow-up article "Pork in the Park," Joravsky declared a narrow field of interest. But the article details two distinct modes of regulation. First, "professional" photography requires a permit in public spaces. Second, photographs could not be sold without explicit permission. There was no mention of casual photography, and the ambiguous "some" of Joravsky's initial subtitle promotes misreading.
As the story proliferated on the Internet, the depiction of professional regulation was minimized. Instead, the focus was the threat of public space itself being copyrighted. The central commercial/noncommercial distinction was ignored. The City of Chicago attempted to differentiate between amateur and professional by identifying the type of equipment. Security guards were instructed to look for tripods and "professional looking" equipment or tripods. The purpose of both is to make more "exact" copies of a scene. The threat of exact copies of Kapoor's sculpture might be a divisive point, but public reaction accentuated the power to prohibit, rather than the separation of commercial and noncommercial behaviors. David Bollier expressed this imagined crisis by comparing the chain of events surrounding Cloud Gate to an earlier controversy blogged by Lawrence Lessig—a prohibition on photography in Starbucks Cafés. While the response on the Internet is analogous, the core situations are not. The interior of a Star-bucks franchise is arguably a private space regulated through the policies of the franchise or the owner.3 Casinos in Las Vegas regulate public photography. The overriding issue is an assumed privacy right for their patrons. Family-oriented casinos encourage photography, while more upscale venues discourage it.
Millennium Park is a public space. Nonetheless, there are statutory rights that control representations of "public" presences—be they buildings, sculptures, or images of people in public places. There is no general statutory right to photograph in public; these rights are derived from common-law precedents. Lessig has argued elsewhere that these precedents accentuate the relationship between freedom from regulation and technological innovation (345). However, the right of the public to represent, reproduce, or transmit iconic presences is shaky. Icons like Cloud Gate reflect cultural values, and regulating the ability of culture to reproduce itself has far-reaching implications beyond technological innovation. Lessig and others have also argued that excessive regulation of cultural products might mean the death of culture. But such regulations grow from copyright's first mandate—to promote progress in the useful arts. According to Lessig, Starbucks prohibits photography on the grounds that it reproduces their floor plan in a transmissible form, promoting infringement of their copyrights. The casino example is not a matter of copyright at all; photography can be prohibited because it infringes on privacy rights. In matters of public space, multiple rights are involved.
In response to Starbucks' prohibition, Lessig encouraged his readers to practice civil disobedience—hundreds of readers responded by posting photographs taken in Starbucks. Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing responded in kind to the "crisis" of Cloud Gate by urging readers to take photographs of Cloud Gate and upload them. The response was disappointing. New photographs of the sculpture were impossible; Cloud Gate was draped in a tent in late January to polish its seams. Moreover, amateur photography was never prohibited, and the presence of photographs of the sculpture online was a nonissue. A webcam operated by US Equity has been gradually accumulating a public Internet archive of photos of the sculpture and adjoining restaurant since March 5, 2004.4 The transformation of Cloud Gate from a work of art into a politicized work of art negotiates the boundaries of both legal and aesthetic discourse.
These boundaries were more specifically addressed by the Christian Science Monitor story "Who Owns Public Art?" Bob Horsch, who had been selling postcards and calendars of the sculpture from his gallery, was warned by city representatives to cease selling these "copies." Horsch was shocked: "We've been representing Chicago for 32 years. We've put up with the dirt for six years and now we can't take a picture of what's across the street?" (Kleiman 15). What emerges from this mainstream article is a more accurate depiction. The prohibition the City of Chicago seeks to enforce is the commercial exploitation of its properties through "copies." The copyrights of the objects in Millennium Park have been transferred to the City of Chicago, which claims an exclusive right to commercial exploitation. Photography by the general public, considered to fall within the realm of "fair use," is exempt. What is at stake for Horsch is the ability to exploit public landmarks for financial gain.
Cloud Gate deserves deeper contemplation as an object that challenges the "copy" as a measure of value. A work of art escapes being classed as a useful article—unlike buildings, the prohibition of salable photographic reproductions of public sculpture rests on solid ground. Expression of the sculpture's presence in the form of casual snapshots is granted, but a viewer has no right to profit.
Are copies of Cloud Gate even possible? Kapoor's sculpture seems to embody Benjamin's concept of the irreproducible aura. "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," first available in English translation in the 1968 compilation Illuminations, has enjoyed critical success as a reflection on the importance of art in dangerous political times. Recent translations suggest that the original title is incorrect. An alternate title, "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility," is a better fit. Rather than the immutable "work of art" thrust into an age of reproduction, the possessive pronoun more accurately reflects the presence of art in an age where it is not only subject to reproduction, but designed for reproducibility. The benchmark "new" art medium for Benjamin was film; the classic "old" medium was sculpture. Benjamin predicted that sculpture would inevitably decline in the age of composite arts like film, because they forcefully renounce all concept of eternal value in favor of the potential for endless improvement. The effect of "eternal value" is aura, "a strange tissue of space and time: the apparition of a distance, however near it may be" (105). The social reason for aura's decay is "the desire of the masses to 'get closer' to things spatially and humanly, and their equally passionate concern for overcoming each thing's uniqueness by assimilating it as a reproduction" (105). When Millennium Park opened, no officially sanctioned reproductions were available. Bob Horsch capitalized on the desire to possess reproductions by providing calendars, refrigerator magnets, and posters.5 Sales were only moderate, perhaps because Cloud Gate proved uniquely resistant to assimilation.
Cloud Gate distorts the skyline of Chicago, rendering it strange and distant while reflecting the city and its spectators. The initial public response to the sculpture was a rush to touch it and to confront their reflections in it. The "strange tissue of space and time" that Benjamin connects with the aura of a unique work of art is an essential, if not literal, aspect of Kapoor's work. As Blair Kamin described it, "The sculpture grabs you with its funhouse distortion game, then holds you, mystifies you, and eventually delights you with its sophisticated play of opposites" (10). Its monumental presence is deeply symbolic. Kapoor sees his work as an intersection between sculpture and architecture:
My inspiration as an artist from as early as I can remember has been symbolic architecture. Perhaps some of the most deeply, philosophically coherent objects of all time are buildings. . . . Whether it's the Jantar Mantar in India, or early mosques like the one at Samara, Iraq, or the pyramids—there are two things that come together. One is the ritual procession that those structures seem to describe, evoke and even prescribe. And the other is that they define themselves with a certain self-evident gestalt. What they seem to say is that if you look at the object from here, or if you look at the object from there, it's the same object. (Ellias 1)
Cloud Gate invites a ritual procession, while granting spectators a unique view of themselves reflected inside the work. Kapoor's work illuminates, retrospectively, the blindness and insight in "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility." Although Benjamin failed to grant continuing relevance to sculptures, he acknowledged the importance of architecture as the oldest and most fundamental of the arts: "Its history is longer than that of any other art, and its effect must be recognized in any attempt to account for the relationship of the masses to a work of art" (120). Monuments rest in an uneasy space between sculpture and architecture.
Nonetheless, Benjamin's essay gives the preeminent position to film. Distribution of film is enforced, because without such distribution the costs of production would be prohibitive. The countervailing impulses of private enterprise and public consumption require careful negotiations. Film came of age during depressions affecting the global economy. Benjamin observes:
It is not surprising that those who funded the project have an interest in maintaining conventional property relations to recover their investment. It is also not surprising that taxpayers feel a sense of "ownership" of public works. Unlike a film, a public sculpture has a tangible presence. It has value not only in its exhibition, but also in its possession. The question of who owns Cloud Gate—the people of Chicago, the development corporation, or the sculptor who created it—is complex. The federal government denies copyright protection to works created by government employees, but copyright protection is granted to works created on contract, that is, "works for hire." States vary in their position on works for hire, so although a public nonprofit development corporation contracted it, it is not automatically "public property." The power to grant copyright to public works is divided state by state. The rights associated with Millennium Park are hopelessly fractured among multiple contractors with exploitation rights, state and city governments, as well as the creative rights of the artists themselves.
Benjamin's benchmark of democratic art, film, highlights a shift from cult value, the value of ritual possession, to that of exhibition value. Generally speaking, the City of Chicago proposes to pay for construction and upkeep of the park through fees, including permits for professional photography, parking fees, and event fees. These fees rely on a cultish attraction to the site. The photographer's use fees that triggered the Cloud Gate controversy perhaps reflect its cult value, but more importantly they signal utility. Useful articles cannot be protected under U.S. copyright.
Photographing in public spaces always balances public and private rights and responsibilities. Subject matter is generally the litmus test for reproducibility. For example, individuals are assumed to have rights of privacy that supersede rights of publicity. The level of protection afforded individuals differs with their status as public or private figures. Because celebrities are deemed newsworthy, their rights diminish. A general right to photograph people in public spaces is assumed, but there is no right to exploit their images commercially. However, newsworthy images can be exploited as fair use.6 Significantly, this assumed fair use includes the right to reproduce and sell photographs with newsworthy content for profit. Due to the reflective nature of Cloud Gate, if the skyline of Chicago is identified as newsworthy, photographs of the sculpture (which automatically reproduce the skyline) might be distributed under fair use. Entrepreneurs like Horsch would merely be distributing newsworthy content.
However, the case most applicable to Cloud Gate is Hart v. Sampley (1992). It centers on Fredrick E. Hart's sculpture The Three Servicemen, part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. The defendants sold T-shirts and photographs of the sculpture without authorization. In court they argued that the sculpture constituted a useful article "that cannot be separated from the functional purpose of honoring Vietnam Veterans." Under this lens, all monumental works of art would be exempt. The court did not agree. Their reasoning was sound—if use were defined in this manner, most works of art might be termed exempt. The next argument was that the sculpture was located "in an ordinarily visible and public place," referencing 17 U.S. Code, Section 120(a), which exempts pictorial representation of architectural works. This was rejected on technical grounds, not because The Three Serviceman is not a work of architecture, but because of timing. The sculpture was unveiled on November 9, 1984, and Section 120(a) did not take effect until December 1, 1990. The defendants were prohibited from reproducing the sculpture for profit.
Reproductions of copyrighted works can also be treated as "derivative works." A pair of recent cases suggests dubious stature for photographs. In Ets-Hokin v. Sky Spirits, Inc, 225 F.3d 1068 (9th Cir. 2000), the court held that a commercial photograph created for an advertisement was not derivative of its subject. However, in this case, the subject—a vodka bottle—was not a copyrightable work. In a later case involving the photography of ornamental picture frames for a catalogue, SHL Imaging, Inc, v. Artisan House, Inc., 117 F. Supp. 2d 301 (S.D.N.Y 2000), the court sought to push this ruling further:
While the Ets-Hokin court correctly noted that a derivative work must be based on a "preexisting work," and that the term "work" refers to a "work of authorship" as set forth in 17 U.S.C. §102(a), it failed to appreciate that any derivative work must recast, transform or adopt [sic] the authorship contained in the preexisting work. A photograph of Jeff Koon's "Puppy" sculpture in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, merely depicts that sculpture; it does not recast, transform, or adapt Koons' sculptural authorship. In short, the authorship of the photographic work is entirely different and separate from the authorship of the sculpture. (Cohen 114)
1. Architecture, classed as a useful article, has received limited protection under U.S. copyright law. Protection for architectural plans was only added with the 1976Copyright Act, and §120 was added in 1990 to increase U.S. compliance with the Berne Convention.
6. A 2004 case regarding photographs of Barbra Streisand's home on the California coast is instructive. Though 17 U.S.C. §120 grants the right to photograph architecture visible from public locations, Streisand's suit against photographer Kenneth Adelman argued that his aerial photographs from public airspace were an invasion of privacy. The suit was summarily dismissed on the grounds that the photographs, freely sold on the Internet, were newsworthy and therefore fair use. The news interest was not in Streisand's house, but the coastline underneath it.

Sports Injury Treatment | Gleneagles Global Health City (GGHC)
» Our Specialities » Institute of Advanced Spine Sciences » Treatments We Offer » Sports Injuries
Holistic spine care Pain Management Clinics Sports Injuries Geriatric Spine Care Spine Surgeries
Posture Correction and Biomechanics Clinics
Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries – A Comprehensive Management
Cryotherapy is the use old cold therapies to manage acute pain from musculoskeletal injuries. Cryotherapy can be applied in various ways like icepacks, coolant sprays or gels, ice baths or whole-body cryotherapy. Cold therapies are effective in relieving pain as they reduce neural activity, reduce the blood flow to the skin, and thus reduce pain and inflammation. Cryotherapy may be combined with rest, compression and pain medication.
Good posture plays a part in reducing strain on the skeletal system and muscles while performing basic activities like standing, sitting or lying down. Poor posture can cause neck pain, upper and lower back pain, knee pain and poor foot function. The Posture Correction and Biomechanics clinic at Gleneagles Global Hospital in Chennai focuses on addressing this problem.
At the Posture Alignment and Biomechanics Clinic, the root cause of the pain is identified and the related postural imbalances are all corrected. The clinic is equipped with cutting edge imaging and diagnostic tools to assess the posture and alignments of the patient's body. The doctor will prescribe the relevant postural corrections and exercises to help counter the mis-alignments found. The techniques used may include mobilization, manipulation or Muscle Energy Techniques (MET). All the treatment programs are designed to maximize range of movement and reduce chronic pain.
Kinesiology, in medicine, is the science of human movement (The literal Greek translation is movement science). Kinesiology is a non-invasive, holistic therapy, combining eastern massage techniques with modern muscle monitoring. The detailed knowledge of muscular anatomy, mechanics and neural physiology that our doctors possess helps them gain deeper insights into mechanical injuries, how they were caused and the corresponding treatment.
The kinesiologist starts with a consultation with the patient, in which they go over medical history, challenges, lifestyle patterns and needs. The kinesiologist then has the patient lie down on the examination table and works on balancing the stresses indicated during the consultation. Kinesiology operates on an evidence-based treatment model known as active rehabilitation. Progressive therapeutic exercise and a range of motion techniques are used to help overcome injuries.
Prolotherapy, also known as proliferation therapy or regenerative injection therapy, is an alternative therapy for pain management, where a dextrose or saline solution is injected into the painful joint. Prolotherapy has been used to treat arthritis of the knees, hips and fingers, degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia, sprains, strains and muscle aches.
Prolotherapy can help reduce pain and stiffness in the affected joint and improve its strength, function and mobility. Prolotherapy practitioners say the irritation caused by the saline or dextrose solution helps stimulate the body's natural growth response, leading to the growth of new tissues.
A back brace is an external support used to stabilize one or more portions of the spine. It can help relieve pain and pressure on the injured portion of the spine and help to ensure healing in correct alignment after surgery. A back brace may be customized by the doctor or a non-prescription over-the-counter brace may be recommended for purchase.
The back brace is typically designed to provide stability and additional spinal support. It also reduces load on the vertebrae and the discs. A back brace is often an important component of the recovery process.
A traumatic spinal cord injury is a sudden injury leading to major damage to the spinal cord, usually with a spinal fracture and possibly resulting in paralysis. Traumatic spinal cord injuries could be caused by road or industrial accidents, sports injuries and accidental falls. A complete traumatic spinal cord injury occurs across the whole spinal cord width and results in complete paralysis below the trauma. An incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury results in only a partial-severing of the spinal cord, resulting in partial paralysis below waist level.
Patients with traumatic spinal cord injury have their spine immobilized, to prevent further injury from movement. Once stabilized, the patient's pain is addressed with the appropriate medication. The patient is also kept under regular neurological observation. The doctors attending to the trauma will address and treat the patient as needed, surgically or otherwise. In the absence of any neurological deficits, a conservative approach of bed rest, immobilization, cervical collars, traction and rehabilitation is recommended.

Posted byFulcrum October 2, 2020 Posted inArticles and Essays, Fight AnalysisTags:Boxing, Carlos Efrain Flores, Dennis Contreras
This is a 10 round fight for Contreras’s WBA featherweight ranking belt.
Contreras is a decent fighter who has fought anybody offered to him and is coming off a good upset win only a few weeks ago. I wouldn’t say he does anything special but hes a tough guy who punches hard and in boxing sometimes thats all you need.
Carlos Efrain Flores is only 20 and hasn’t fought anybody good at all. He’s not a bad fighter but he just doesn’t have any experience in a hard fight which this one will be.
I think Contreras will likely break Flores down and stop him in 7 or 8 rounds because of the massive gap in experience. Contreras is battle tested and has fought lots of fighters just as good as Flores while this is Flores first test.

Papa Stour Sword Dancers (Seniors)
"The Papa Stour Sword Dance is a masque which represents the age-old theme of the struggle between good and evil. The forces of good are the Seven Champions of Christendom, St James of Spain, St Dennis of France, St David of Wales, St Patrick of Ireland, St Anthony of Italy, St Andrew of Scotland and they are led by St George of England who introduces them in a long speech in verse. Music is supplied by the Minstrel. They then link up in a circle and the dance contains seven figures. The movement of the swords represents the battle, and evil is finally vanquished by the spectacular climax. St George then bids farewell to the onlookers and heads the Seven Champions off stage."
The dance, although originating in Papa Stour, is now performed by a group of men from the Shetland Mainland. It is an incredible 49 years since the Sword Dance was last performed by a Papa Stour based team.
The Papa Stour Sword, one of only 6 traditional Sword Dances left in the British Isles, currently boasts both a junior and senior team, with around 25 active performers scattered throughout Shetland!
The Shetland Folk Festival are delighted to have this special traditional dance perforemd at the festival this year as part of a special Traditional Dance concert with visiting dancers from Canada -The Asham Stompers.

meeting my O | O My Family – This new mom's blog
{Copyright World Vision 2012, photographer Lindsey Minerva}
We sit across from each other exchanging awkward giggles and smiling glances. Odish, her son and my sponsored son is our connecting link, and such a darling one at that. Through a translator I learn that Odish didn't like taking a pacifier, that he throws his food on the floor, and that he always wants whatever his older brother is playing with. I nod and laugh so much my cheeks hurt. He gets fussy so I pull my hotel room key out of my purse. As it would with OBrother, that does the trick. A little while later, his fussiness returns and his mama nurses him. My eyes water and I ask if I can take a picture.
He pulls at her shirt while nursing and I nod in common experience. His mama says he is a very happy boy and only cries if he gets left alone. My boys like people a lot, too I tell her. I also tell her that I am excited to watch our boys grow up knowing about each other and some day writing to each other. When he is done, I hold him and look into his glassy, playful eyes. On my lap, he giggles and he grabs my nose. His mama is right. He is a fantastically happy little buddy.
{photographed by Roxy Weiman}
She asks why we chose Odish. I tell her it is because our name starts with O, because he is close to my youngest son's age, and because he looked absolutely precious in his picture. Turns out he is 2235039821x more precious in real life. And his smiles! O, the smiles. We connect with giggles and I count that he has four teeth. I ask his mama how teething is going. She says everything goes into his mouth to chew on and the drool, it is constant. I think yep, that sounds about right.
Never in all the realm of possibility did I think that I would be here, sitting in a Sri Lankan village holding my sponsored child.
Then I stop. I stick my feet down into the flow of time and I will it to pause. Pause, darnit! I want to absorb the entirety of this moment and keep it for myself for later and for DanO to recount to him and for you, friends and readers (who are friends I just haven't met yet) so that I can tell you what the face of a sponsored child – and a mother of a sponsored child – truly looks like, feels like.
It feels like usual, like sitting at a Caribou making small talk with a mama and her baby about teething and drool. But it also feels absolutely surreal, to ask a mama what she hopes for her boy, what her dreams are for him and his older brother, and to know that our family will play a role in that, Lord willing.

My eyes are tearing because oh my, how I wish to meet my little Marcos in Bolivia that has the same birthday as my boy & the same size handprint & I want to talk to his momma about the heart of raising a little boy.
You are a lucky, lucky momma. & O is so lucky to have you.
That you may have the chance, my friend. What a gift you are giving Marcos' mama.
Mae (Life's Candy) August 29th, 2012
I love you, friend. Thank you for traveling with me down a dirt road in Sri Lanka today. xoxo
I love this post. O is so precious. He's blessed to have you as a long-distance mother!
More than anything, I feel blessed to have him. :)

We just got an updated picture and annual progress report from our little 3 year old Anne Marie in Rwanda yesterday. SWOON. She is gorgeous and we are so proud of her! :) I love how our kids feel so connected to her and so invested in her and her well-being. They love her as much as I do and we've never met her – God is AMAZING in that way! :)
Anyway, love all the updates of your trip! Keep them coming!
Beautiful Allison ~ so happy for you and all the you are getting to experience.

This brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful what you are doing.
Thank you for this! Our sponsored child is 5 days younger than our boy and I so wish I could hold him too!! Thank you for the gentle nudge I needed a few weeks ago to take the leap of faith and sponsor!
Kara August 29th, 2012
This is such a beautiful experience that you are having. Not many of us have the opportunity to visit our sponsor children (mine in through Compassion). This must be truly life-changing for you.
DanO August 29th, 2012
That is so cool to see. You are doing such a good job bringing to light how easy it is to make a difference. I'm glad we decided to sponsor O.
P.S. Come home soon, okay?
Kristen Howerton August 30th, 2012
Oh, I just love every part of this. Love it!
Caroline August 30th, 2012
Thank you Allison for this. I have read all your entries so far concerning child sponsorship and started out cynical if a little curious. Questioning why you visiting Sri Lanka was the way to encourage others to give as generously. I questioned your motives with typical first world scoffing.
And now I'm wiping the tears from my cheeks and vowing to give what we can. Thanks for not giving up on me, your relentless challenge of my heart paid off!
O, Caroline. Thank you for your bold honesty. This comment was encouraging and insightful. From one cynic to another, thank you for sharing your heart.
I'm verklempt. Oh my. What a precious boy and what an amazing moment! <3
Elaine September 3rd, 2012
WOW. I'm so glad you got to meet him!! And he is such a light, I can see it in his eyes and face! I hope to meet the 2 children we sponsor someday. What an amazing experience…

Asthma solution -
between two opposites that don't attract
With all the hoopla about molecular medicine and new health discoveries, how much progress has been made in treating asthma? Not too long ago, the official asthma solution would fit in a short sentence: "You just have to learn to relax". Then pharmaceutical companies learned how to, more or less efficiently, suppress asthma symptoms with drugs.
On the opposite end, environmental medicine was trying, often successfully, to find, address and neutralize by far the most significant causative factors of asthma - body's environmental interactions, including those diet related.
Pharmaceutical industry is investing heavily in bio-molecular research, but the main goal is unchanged: creating pharmaceutical agent that will interrupt biological mechanism producing symptom of illness, without bothering to find and address its root cause.
One example is the ongoing research at Yale University, New Heaven, Connecticut, University of California, San Francisco, and elsewhere. Its subject is cellular cation channel TRPA1, belonging to TRP anciryn (or TRPA) subfamily of the TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) cation channel family, making for about 19% of all cellular ion channels.
While the TRP family in general - found to play important role in about everything that we feel, from pain to the five senses - and TRPA subfamily in particular, are actively investigated worldwide, this particular research is a part of Hydra Biosciences' venture into "numerous drug discovery opportunities" based on interfering with TRP channels functions. Investigating the possibility to medicate asthma in this manner is only a small part of the project; the main goal is to take a piece of $20 billion world market for pain medications.
The TRPA1 ion channel - which is a single mammalian member of TRPA subfamily - as the experiments on rodents show, is
among major factors
in the mechanism triggering asthma symptoms.
Various irritants, including cold temperature, natural and man-made chemical compounds, can activate TRPA1-regulated ion channels, exciting nerve cells - which may contribute to involuntary muscle constrictions in the airways and/or cause neurogenic inflammation - and/or stimulating pro-inflammatory state within tissue cells and in their surroundings.
In any instance, according to the Yale research, mice with the gene initiating production of the TRPA1 ion channels' protein removed or disabled had "greatly diminished inflammation, airway mucus and bronchoconstriction".
Since manipulating genes at present is not a viable option for treating humans, the researchers used a drug, HC-030031, blocking TRPA1 production, and found that it produces similar beneficial effects (the drug was already known to inhibit TRPA1-related sense of pain; another TRPA1 channel blocker drug is AP-18).
So, seems as if everything is gliding smoothly toward this new type of asthma drug, which would ease asthma symptoms by reducing TRPA1-mediated response to irritants. Drugs based on blocking activity of ion channels are not exactly a news: so called calcium channel blockers, for treating hypertension and angina, or sodium channel blockers for treating pain are rather common. In fact, as much as 17% of global pharmaceutical sales goes to the drugs affecting ion channel activity.
This new class of drugs has a few things in common: they are considerably more expensive, not necessarily more efficient, but
often with more serious side effects than older drugs.
Leaving its price and efficiency aside for now, how safe this new type of symptom-suppressing asthma drug can be expected to be?
For one, the exact mechanism of action of this type of drug is not known. It is stated that HC-030031 "antagonizes formalin-evoked calcium influx" into the cell (formalin test is a standard in pain-related research), because some studies (Zurborg et al, 2007, Wang et al, 2008) indicated that TRPA1 ion channels are activated by calcium binding to the proteins at the channel ending, resulting in subsequent influx of calcium into the cell. But an alternative mechanism of their activation is by foreign molecules capable of binding to cysteine residues at the channel ending - which is how most of substances that activate TRPA1 ion channels seems to be detected (Macpherson et al, 2007).
However, some "structurally unrelated compounds" - i.e. not able to chemically bind to cysteine - have also been found capable of activating TRPA1 channels. The channels can also be activated by zinc (Hu et al, 2009) and barium (Wang et al, 2008), as well as by a variety of primary endogenous activators - compounds released by cells and tissues as a response to mechanical injury or inflammatory/oxidative stress or damage.
The two obvious conclusions are:
• our knowledge of the TRPA1 ion channels function is partial at best, and
• their function is very complex, making their inhibition with drugs both unpredictable side-effect-wise and risky.
This, of course, is rather common in the realm of prescription drugs, and that is a good part of the reason why so many users suffer serious adverse health effects each and every day.
The other day, I glimpsed at the news that a novel drug for MS (multiple sclerosis), natalizumab (Tysabri), has been found to have unplanned effect of helping the potentially deadly JC virus to spread from the kidneys - where it lies dormant in about 90% of the population - into the bloodstream (Koralnik et al, NEJM, September 2009). Despite establishing that the virus in the blood and urine of tested patients is showing all signs of being active - thus capable of spreading to the brain and causing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a destructive brain disease - neither the study authors, nor government's agency (FDA) see the need to limit or stop marketing of this drug.
But that is only a drop in the ocean. It is only their enormous power and influence that allows pharmaceutical companies to claim arrogantly that what ion channel blocking drugs do is
correcting "aberrant ion channel activity".
Even assuming that their function is aberrant - and that is likely a gross oversimplification - no one, including pharmaceutical companies, knows what would be the correct mode of their function in the complexity of the body. They are certainly aware of that, and that predicting many possible consequences of interfering with ion channel functions is still out of our grasp.
Just like every tiny bit of our bodies, the TRPA1 ion channels exist for a reason. They are important part of the sensory/reaction mechanism through which the body protects itself from peripheral threats and damage. No one knows what other processes they might be supporting. Inhibiting their function is very likely to
create vulnerabilities in body's protective mechanisms.
Moreover, how obstructing the channels could affect cellular processes is anyone's guess. It is all but certain that TRPA1 channels play role not only in sensing irritation and damage, but also in cellular intra- and inter communication. Obstructing their function could alter a cascade of reactions negatively affecting cellular homeostasis, resulting in adverse health effects, either short-term or long-term, or both.
Nevertheless, if premarketing trials shows that this new drug does have sufficient efficacy, without scores of patients falling seriously ill - or dropping dead - within relatively short trial period, the drug will hit the market.
Notorious indirect side effect of prescription drugs is that they
leave the underlying cause unaddressed.
Airway hypersensitivity is very often aggravated by excessive oxidative damage due to insufficient level of antioxidants, and/or inefficient, overburdened immune and detox system. A recent study on zebra fish - which has genes similar to humans - hit a surprise discovery that it is hydrogen peroxide, one of the cell-produced reactive oxygen species, that communicates to the immune cells the call for help (Mitchison et al, 2009).
It is very likely that oxidative damage to the lung cells increases concentration of immune cells in the airways through a similar mechanism.
Instead of lowering concentration of symptom-causing immune cells in the lungs by shutting down damage-sensing TRPA1 ion channels - an important part of body's protective mechanism - isn't it better to give to the body what it needs for protection from oxidative damage, as well as minimize its toxic exposures?
Asthma is a complex disease, with a great variety of possible causative factors, often working in concert - food, chemical and mold sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, leaky gut, low gastric acid, poor, unbalanced diet, faulty tryptophan metabolism, and others. These factors need to be addressed not only because of asthma, but also because
they are likely to cause other,
seemingly unrelated health problems.
Obstructing TRPA1 ion channels won't do any of that. So if you are lucky enough that the drug works for you in suppressing asthma symptoms, chances are, sooner rather than later some other symptom will surface. And that is another "specialty" of the symptom treating medicine: much to frustration of its practitioners, the illness often seems as if morphing from one form into another, never leaving the body. But, never mind - they have plenty of pills on the shelf...
By the way, TRPA1 ion channels are also inactivated by magnesium (Wang et al, 2007). It is known that magnesium injection can stop an asthma attack. It was thought to be the result of magnesium relaxing the airway muscles, but there could be more to it. So, when do we see a study on magnesium as a possible remedy for asthma?

Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines CHAPTER 4 INDIVIDUAL AND MARKET DEMAND EXERCISES Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 1. An individual sets aside a certain amount of his income per month to spend on his two hobbies, collecting wine and collecting books. Given the information below, illustrate both the price consumption curve associated with changes in the price of wine, and the demand curve for wine. Price Price Quantity Quantity Budget Wine Book Wine Book Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines $10 $10 7 8 $150 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines $12 $10 5 9 $150 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines $15 $10 4 9 $150 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines $20 $10 2 11 $150 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines The price consumption curve connects each of the four optimal bundles given in the table above. As the price of wine increases, the budget line will pivot inwards and the optimal bundle will change. Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 2. An individual consumes two goods, clothing and food. Given the information below, illustrate the income consumption curve, and the Engel curves for clothing and food. 41

As the individual's income increases, the budget line will shift out and the optimal bundle will change. The Engel curves for each good illustrate the relationship between the quantity consumed and income (on the vertical axis). Both Engel curves are upward sloping. C income consumption curve F 42
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand I F I C Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 3. Jane always gets twice as much utility from an extra ballet ticket as she does from an extra basketball ticket, regardless of how many tickets of either type she has. Draw Jane's income consumption curve and her Engel curve for ballet tickets. Jane will consume either all ballet tickets or all basketball tickets, depending on the two prices. As long as ballet tickets are less than twice the price of basketball tickets, she will choose all ballet. If ballet tickets are more than twice the price of basketball tickets then she will choose all basketball. This can be determined by comparing the marginal utility per dollar for each type of ticket, where her marginal utility of another ballet ticket is 2 and her marginal utility of another basketball ticket is 1. Her income consumption curve will then lie along the axis of the good that she chooses. As income increases, and the budget line shifts out, she will stick with the chosen good. The Engel curve is a linear, upward-sloping line. For any given increase in income, she will be able to purchase a fixed amount of extra tickets. 4. a. Orange juice and apple juice are known to be perfect substitutes. Draw the appropriate price- consumption (for a variable price of orange juice) and income-consumption curves. We know that the indifference curves for perfect substitutes will be straight lines. In this case, the consumer will always purchase the cheaper of the two goods. If the price of orange juice is less than 43
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand that of apple juice, the consumer will purchase only orange juice and the price consumption curve will be on the "orange juice axis" of the graph (point F). If apple juice is cheaper, the consumer will purchase only apple juice and the price consumption curve will be on the "apple juice axis" (point E). If the two goods have the same price, the consumer will be indifferent between the two; the price consumption curve will coincide with the indifference curve (between E and F). See the figure below. Apple J u ice PA < PO PA = PO E PA > PO U F Or a n ge J u ice Assuming that the price of orange juice is less than the price of apple juice, the consumer will maximize her utility by consuming only orange juice. As the level of income varies, only the amount of orange juice varies. Thus, the income consumption curve will be the "orange juice axis" in the figure below. 44

Draw the appropriate price-consumption and income- consumption curves. For goods that are perfect complements, such as right shoes and left shoes, we know that the indifference curves are L-shaped. The point of utility maximization occurs when the budget constraints, L1 and L2 touch the kink of U1 and U2. See the following figure. Righ t Sh oes P r ice Con su mpt ion Cur ve U2 U1 L1 L2 Left Shoes In the case of perfect complements, the income consumption curve is also a line through the corners of the L-shaped indifference curves. See the figure below. 45
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand Righ t Sh oes In com e Con su mpt ion Cur ve U2 U1 L1 L2 Left Shoes Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 5. Each week, Bill, Mary, and Jane select the quantity of two goods, x1 and x 2 , that they will consume in order to maximize their respective utilities. They each spend their entire weekly income on these two goods. Deleted: a. Suppose you are given the following information about the choices that Bill makes over a three-week period: x1 x2 P1 P2 I Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 1 10 20 2 1 40 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 2 7 19 3 1 40 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 3 8 31 3 1 55 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Deleted: How about between Did Bill's utility increase or decrease between week 1 and week 2? Between week 1 and week 3? Explain using a graph to support your answer. 46
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand Bill's utility fell between weeks 1 and 2 since he ended up with less of both goods. In week 2, the price of good 1 rose and his income remained constant. The budget line will pivot inwards and he will have to move to a lower indifference curve. Between week 1 and week 3 his utility rose. The increase in income more than compensated him for the rise in the price of good 1. Since the price of good 1 rose by $1, he would need an extra $10 to afford the same bundle of goods that he chose in week 1. This can be found by multiplying week 1 quantities times week 2 prices. However, his income went up by $15, so his budget line shifted out beyond his week 1 bundle. Therefore, his original bundle lies within his new budget set, and his new week 3 bundle is on a higher indifference curve. b. Now consider the following information about the choices that Mary makes: x1 x2 P1 P2 I Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 1 10 20 2 1 40 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 2 6 14 2 2 40 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 3 20 10 2 2 60 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Did Mary's utility increase or decrease between week 1 and week 3? Does Mary consider both goods to be normal goods? Explain. Mary's utility went up. To afford the week 1 bundle at the new prices, she would need an extra $20, which is exactly what happened to her income. However, since she could have chosen the original bundle at the new prices and income but chose not to, she must have found a bundle that left her slightly better off. In the graph below, the week 1 bundle is at the intersection of the week 1 and week 3 budget lines. The week 3 bundle is somewhere on the line segment that lies above the week 1 indifference curve. This bundle will be on a higher indifference curve. A good is normal if more is chosen when income increases. Good 2 is not normal because when her income went up from week 2 to week 3, she consumed less of the good (holding prices the same). 47
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand good 2 week 1 bundle week 3 bundle good 1 c. Finally, examine the following information about Jane's choices: x1 x2 P1 P2 I Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 1 12 24 2 1 48 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 2 16 32 1 1 48 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Week 3 12 24 1 1 36 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Draw a budget line, indifference curve graph that illustrates Jane's three chosen bundles. What can you say about Jane's preferences in this case? Identify the income and substitution effects that result from a change in the price of good 1. In week 2, the price of good 1 goes down and Jane consumes more of both goods. Her budget line pivots outwards. In week 3 the prices remain at the new level, but Jane's income is reduced. This will shift her budget line inwards, and cause her to consume less of both goods. Notice that Jane always consumes the two goods in a fixed 1:2 ratio. This means that Jane views the two goods as perfect complements, and her indifference curves are L-shaped. Intuitively if the two goods are complements, there is no reason to substitute one for the other during a price change because they have to be consumed in a set ratio. Thus the substitution effect will be zero. When the price ratio 48
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand changes and utility is kept at the same level, Jane will choose the same point (12,24). The income effect causes her to buy 4 more units of good 1 and 8 more units of good 2. good 2 week 1 a nd 3 bund le week 2 bund le good 1 6. Two individuals, Sam and Barb, derive utility from the hours of leisure (L) they consume and from the amount of goods (G) they consume. In order to maximize utility they need to allocate the 24 hours in the day between leisure hours and work hours. Assume that all hours not spent working are leisure hours. The price of a good is equal to $1 and the price of leisure is equal to the hourly wage. We observe the following information about the choices that the two individuals make: Sam Barb Sam Barb Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines Price of G Price of L L(hours) L(hours) G($) G($) Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines 1 8 16 14 64 80 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines 1 9 15 14 81 90 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines 1 10 14 15 100 90 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines 1 11 14 16 110 88 Formatted: Space Before: 1.2 line, After: 1.2 line, Line spacing: 1.5 lines 49
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand Graphically illustrate Sam's leisure demand curve and Barb's leisure demand curve. Place price on the vertical axis and leisure on the horizontal axis. Given that they both maximize utility, how can you explain the difference in their leisure demand curves? It is important to remember that less leisure implies more hours spent working at the higher wage. Sam's leisure demand curve is downward sloping. As the price of leisure (the wage) rises, he chooses to consume less leisure to spend more time working at a higher wage to buy more goods. Barb's leisure demand curve is upward sloping. As the price of leisure rises, she chooses to consume more leisure since her working hours are generating more income. This difference in demand can be explained by examining the income and substitution effects for the two individuals. The substitution effect measures the effect of the change in the price of leisure, keeping utility constant (the budget line will rotate around the current indifference curve). Since the substitution effect is always negative, a rise in the price of leisure will cause both individuals to consume less leisure. The income effect measures the change in purchasing power caused by the change in the price of leisure. Here, when the price of leisure (the wage) rises, there is an increase in purchasing power (the new budget line will shift outwards). Assuming both individuals consider leisure to be a normal good (this is not a necessary assumption for Sam), then the increase in purchasing power will increase demand for leisure. For Sam, the reduction in leisure demand caused by the substitution effect outweighs the increase in demand for leisure caused by the income effect. For Barb, her income effect is larger than her substitution effect. Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 7. The director of a theatre company in a small college town is considering changing the way he prices tickets. He has hired an economic consulting firm to estimate the demand for tickets. The firm has classified people who go the theatre into two groups, and has come up with two demand functions. The demand curves for the general public ( Qgp ) and students ( Qs ) are given below. Qgp = 500 − 5P Qs = 200 − 4P a. Graph the two demand curves on one graph, with P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. If the current price of tickets is $35, identify the quantity demanded by each group. Both demand curves are downward sloping and linear. For the general public, the vertical intercept is 100 and the horizontal intercept is 500. For the students, the vertical intercept is 50 and the horizontal intercept is 200. The general public demands Qgp = 500 − 5(35) = 325 tickets and the students demand Qs = 200 − 4(35) = 60 tickets. b. Find the price elasticity of demand for each group at the current price and quantity. 50
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand −5(35) The elasticity for the general public is εgp = = −0.54 and the elasticity for the students 325 −4(35) is εgp = = −2.33 . If the price of tickets increases by one percent then the general 60 public will demand .54% fewer tickets and the students will demand 2.33% fewer tickets. c. Is the director maximizing the revenue he collects from ticket sales by charging $35 for each ticket? Explain. No he is not maximizing revenue since neither one of the calculated elasticities is equal to –1. Since demand by the general public is inelastic at the current price, the director could increase the price and quantity demanded would fall by a smaller amount in percentage terms, causing revenue to increase. Since demand by the students is elastic at the current price, the director could decrease the price and quantity demanded would increase by a larger amount in percentage terms, causing revenue to increase. d. What price should he charge each group if he wants to maximize revenue collected from ticket sales? To figure this out, find the formula for elasticity, set it equal to –1, and solve for price and quantity. For the general public: −5P εgp = = −1 Q 5P = Q = 500 − 5P P = 50 Q = 250. For the students: −4P εs = = −1 Q 4P = Q = 200 − 4P P = 25 Q = 100. 8. Judy has decided to allocate exactly $500 to textbooks at college every year, even though she knows that the prices are likely to increase by 5 to 10 percent per year and that she will be getting a substantial monetary 51
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand gift from her grandparents next year. What is Judy's price elasticity of demand for textbooks? Income elasticity? Price elasticity of demand is percentage change in quantity for a given percentage change in price. Judy knows that prices will go up in the future. Given she is going to spend a fixed amount on books, this must mean that her quantity demanded will decrease as price increases. Since expenditure is constant the percentage change in quantity demanded must be equal to the percentage change in price, and price elasticity is -1. Income elasticity must be zero because although she expects a large monetary gift, she has no plans to purchase more books. Recall that income elasticity is defined as the percentage change in quantity demanded for a given percentage change in income, all else the same. 9. The ACME Corporation determines that at current prices the demand for its computer chips has a price elasticity of -2 in the short run, while the price elasticity for its disk drives is -1. a. If the corporation decides to raise the price of both products by 10 percent, what will happen to its sales? To its sales revenue? We know the formula for the elasticity of demand is: %ΔQ EP = . %ΔP For computer chips, EP = -2, so a 10 percent increase in price will reduce the quantity sold by 20 percent. For disk drives, EP = -1, so a 10 percent increase in price will reduce sales by 10 percent. Sales revenue is equal to price times quantity sold. Let TR1 = P1Q1 be revenue before the price change and TR2 = P2Q2 be revenue after the price change. For computer chips: ΔTRcc = P2Q2 - P1Q1 ΔTRcc = (1.1P1 )(0.8Q1 ) - P1Q1 = -0.12P1Q1, or a 12 percent decline. For disk drives: ΔTRdd = P2Q2 - P1Q1 ΔTRdd = (1.1P1 )(0.9Q1 ) - P1Q1 = -0.01P1Q1, or a 1 percent decline. 52
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand Therefore, sales revenue from computer chips decreases substantially, -12 percent, while the sales revenue from disk drives is almost unchanged, -1 percent. Note that at the point on the demand curve where demand is unit elastic, total revenue is maximized. b. Can you tell from the available information which product will generate the most revenue for the firm? If yes, why? If not, what additional information do you need? No. Although we know the responsiveness of demand to changes in price, we need to know both quantities and prices of the products to determine total sales revenue. 10. By observing an individual's behavior in the situations outlined below, determine the relevant income elasticities of demand for each good (i.e., whether the good is normal or inferior). If you cannot determine the income elasticity, what additional information might you need? a. Bill spends all his income on books and coffee. He finds $20 while rummaging through a used paperback bin at the bookstore. He immediately buys a new hardcover book of poetry. Books are a normal good since his consumption of books increases with income. Coffee is a normal or neutral good since consumption of coffee did not fall when income increased. b. Bill loses $10 he was going to use to buy a double espresso. He decides to sell his new book at a discount to his friend and use the money to buy coffee. Coffee is clearly a normal good. c. Being bohemian becomes the latest teen fad. As a result, coffee and book prices rise by 25 percent. Bill lowers his consumption of both goods by the same percentage. Books and coffee are both normal goods since his response to a decline in real income is to decrease consumption of both goods. d. Bill drops out of art school and gets an M.B.A. instead. He stops reading books and drinking coffee. Now he reads The Wall Street Journal and drinks bottled mineral water. His tastes have changed completely, and we do not know exactly how he would respond to price and income changes. We need more information regarding his new level of income, and relative prices of the goods to determine the income elasticities. 11. Suppose the income elasticity of demand for food is 0.5, and the price elasticity of demand is –1.0. Suppose also that Felicia spends $10,000 a year on food, the price of food is $2, and her income is $25,000. 53
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand a. If a sales tax on food were to cause the price of food to increase to $2.50, what would happen to her consumption of food? (Hint: Since a large price change is involved, you should assume that the price elasticity measures an arc elasticity, rather than a point elasticity.) The price of food increases from $2 to $2.50, so arc elasticity should be used: ⎛ P1 + P2 ⎞ EP = ⎛ ΔQ ⎞ ⎜ 2 ⎟ . ⎝ ΔP ⎠ ⎜ Q1 + Q2 ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 2 ⎠ We know that EP = -1, P = 2, ΔP = 0.5, and Q=5000. We also know that Q2, the new quantity, is Q + Δ Q. Thus, if there is no change in income, we may solve for ΔQ: ⎛ 2 + 2.5 ⎞ ⎛ ΔQ⎞ ⎜ 2 ⎟ −1= ⎝ 0.5 ⎠ ⎜ 5,000 + (5,000 + ΔQ) ⎟ . ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 2 ⎠ By cross-multiplying and rearranging terms, we find that ΔQ = -1,000. This means that she decreases her consumption of food from 5,000 to 4,000 units. b. Suppose that she is given a tax rebate of $2,500 to ease the effect of the sales tax. What would her consumption of food be now? A tax rebate of $2,500 implies an income increase of $2,500. To calculate the response of demand to the tax rebate, use the definition of the arc elasticity of income. ⎛ I1 + I2 ⎞ ⎛ ΔQ⎞ ⎜ 2 ⎟. EI = ⎝ ΔI ⎠ ⎜ Q1 + Q2 ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 2 ⎠ We know that EI = 0.5, I = 25,000, ΔI = 2,500, Q = 4,000 (from the answer to 11.a). Assuming no change in price, we solve for ΔQ. 54
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand ⎛ 25,000 + 27,500 ⎞ ⎛ ΔQ ⎞ ⎜ 2 ⎟ 0.5 = ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 2,500 ⎠ ⎜ 4,000 + (4,000 + ΔQ) ⎟ . ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 2 ⎠ By cross-multiplying and rearranging terms, we find that ΔQ = 195 (approximately). This means that she increases her consumption of food from 4,000 to 4,195 units. c. Is she better or worse off when given a rebate equal to the sales tax payments? Draw a graph and explain. Felicia is likely to be better off after the rebate. The amount of the rebate is enough to allow her to purchase her original bundle of food and other goods. Recall that originally she consumed 5000 units of food. When the price went up by fifty cents per unit, she needed an extra 5000*$0.50=$2,500 to afford the same quantity of food without reducing the quantity of the other goods consumed. This is the exact amount of the rebate. However, she did not choose to return to her original bundle. We can therefore infer that she found a better bundle that gave her a higher level of utility. In the graph below, when the price of food increases, the budget line will pivot inwards. When the rebate is given, this new budget line will shift outwards. The bundle after the rebate is on that part of the new budget line that was previously unaffordable, and that lies above the original indifference curve. other good bundle after rebate original bundle food Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 12. You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged a price of $45 and sold 1200 units and in the second year you charged a price of $30 and sold 1800 units. 55
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand a. If you plan to raise your price by 10% what would be a reasonable estimate of what might happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms? To answer this question, you need to find the elasticity. You can estimate the slope of the demand curve in the following way: ∂Q ΔQ 1200 − 1800 600 = = = = −40 . ∂P ΔP 45 − 30 −15 You can now use the elasticity formula and calculate elasticity at each data point, as well as the average point. The elasticities are: P ΔQ −40(45) P=45 and Q=1200 elasticity= = = −1.5. Q ΔP 1200 P ΔQ −40(30) P=30 and Q=1800 elasticity== = = −0.67. Q ΔP 1800 P ΔQ −40(37.5) P=37.5 and Q=1500 elasticity== = = −1. Q ΔP 1500 Given you are coming up with an estimate based on only two data points, it may be best to go with the average point. If elasticity is -1 then a 10% increase in price will cause quantity demanded to fall by 10%. b. If you raise your price by 10%, will revenue increase or decrease? If elasticity is really -1 then revenue will fall if price is increased. If elasticity is actually closer to -0.67 (inelastic) then revenue will rise because the effect of the increase in price will outweigh the effect of the decrease in quantity. If elasticity is closer to -1.5 (elastic) then revenue will fall when price is increased. 56
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand 13. Suppose you are in charge of a toll bridge that costs essentially nothing to operate. The demand for 1 bridge crossings Q is given by P = 15 − Q. 2 a. Draw the demand curve for bridge crossings. The demand curve is linear and downward sloping. The vertical intercept is 15 and the horizontal intercept is 30. b. How many people would cross the bridge if there were no toll? At a price of zero, the quantity demanded would be 30. c. What is the loss of consumer surplus associated with a bridge toll of $5? If the toll is $5 then the quantity demanded is 20. The lost consumer surplus is the area below the price line of $5 and to the left of the demand curve. The lost consumer surplus can be calculated as (5*20)+0.5(5*10)=$125. a. The toll bridge operator is considering an increase in the toll to $7. At this new higher price, how many people would cross the bridge? Would the toll bridge revenue increase or decrease? What does your answer tell you about the elasticity of demand? At a toll of $7, the quantity demanded would be 16. The initial toll revenue was $5*20=$100. The new toll revenue is $7*16=$112. Since the revenue went up when the toll was increased, demand is inelastic (the increase in price (40%) outweighed the decline in quantity demanded (20%)). b. Find the lost consumer surplus associated with the increase in the price of the toll from $5 to $7. The lost consumer surplus is (7-5)*16+0.5(7-5)(20-16)=$36. 14. Vera has decided to upgrade the operating system on her new PC. She hears that the new Linux operating system is technologically superior to the Windows operating system and substantially lower in price. However, when she asks her friends it turns out they all use PCs with Windows. They agree that Linux is more appealing but add that they see relatively few copies of Linux on sale at the local retail software stores. Based on what she learns and observes, Vera chooses to upgrade her PC with Windows. Can you explain her decision? Vera is consuming under the influence of a positive network externality (not a bandwagon effect). When she hears that there are limited software choices that are compatible with the Linux operating 57
Chapter 4: Individual and Market Demand system, she decides to go with Windows. If she had not been interested in acquiring much software, she may have gone with Linux. See Example 4.6 in the text. In the future, however, there may be a bandwagon effect, i.e., the purchase of Linux because almost everyone else has it. As more people use Linux, manufacturers might introduce more software that is compatible with the Linux operating system. As the Linux based software section at the local computer store gets larger and larger, this prompts more consumers to purchase Linux. Eventually, the Windows section shrinks as the Linux section becomes larger and larger. 16. Suppose that you are the consultant to an agricultural cooperative that is deciding whether members should cut their production of cotton in half next year. The cooperative wants your advice as to whether this will increase the farmers' revenues. Knowing that cotton (C) and watermelons (W) both compete for agricultural land in the South, you estimate the demand for cotton to be C=3.5-1.0PC+0.25PW+0.50I, where PC is the price of cotton, PW the price of watermelon, and I income. Should you support or oppose the plan? Is there any additional information that would help you to provide a definitive answer? Formatted: Normal, Justified, If production of cotton is cut in half, then the price of cotton will increase, given that we see from the Indent: Left: 36 pt, Right: 36 pt, equation above that demand is downward sloping.

POP Project - Research
POPPerception On Purpose
Computational and cognitive models for audio-visual interactions
One day international workshop to be held in the English Peak district, 11 March 2008
In everyday situations and environments, our senses are flooded with rich, multimodal inputs which somehow have to be processed and responded to in real-time within the limits of attentional constraints. Consider, for example, the sensory stimulation involved in cycling through a busy city, watching a game of basketball, or simply attending a lecture. In such dynamic environments, unimodal approaches based solely on auditory or visual information are typically not robust. However, a combination of modalities has far more potential. The purpose of this meeting is to explore recent advances in cognitive and computational modelling of audio-visual processes. Topics to be covered include attention, tracking, integration and active exploration. Speakers include representatives from EU projects POP, AMI, BACS, and DIRAC, amongst others.
A complete program with the list of speakers, titles and abstracts can be found at http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/ martin/AV/
The meeting will be held at Losehill Hall in the Peak District National Park near to Sheffield. A charge of �30+VAT is payable on the day to cover lunch and coffee/tea and the use of facilities. Some overnight accommodation is also available in the Hall.
The meeting is organised by Martin Cooke (Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield) and Radu Horaud (Perception Group, INRIA Grenoble Rhone-Alpes, France). Please confirm your attendance with Martin Cooke prior to the meeting.

Using Power Over Ethernet Clock Synchronization - Slashdot
80180825 submission
Submission + - Using Power Over Ethernet Clock Synchronization (innovationwireless.com)
Submitted by clocksystems on Monday January 11, 2016 @02:16AM
clocksystems writes: Power over Ethernet (POE) refers to the combination right into one cord of signaling and also electric power for peripheral devices attached to a computer network. Net Method (IP) POE suggests that a certain communication network method is recruited to complete this. There are various kinds of applications that can capitalize on this innovation.
We go over Power over Ethernet for the particular application of commercial clock synchronization in this write-up. We explain exactly how time integrating is done the typical means and also contrast that method with POE. We likewise talk about a few of the benefits and disadvantages of going one method versus the various other.
There are several situations where clock synchronization within an entire establishment is crucial. A couple of apparent examples are academic classroom modifications and manufacturing plant processes, specifically production line.
Getting all clocks integrated is an uncomplicated principle to understand, but its implementation can be complicated as well as involve some implications. The conventional strategy is to mark some timekeeping mechanism as the master clock as well as to have it relay upgrade or reset timing signals at the same time to all wrist watches. The signaling can be completed with hardwired links or wirelessly.
In this method each watch requires electrical power, either from ceiling or wall surface electrical outlets or from batteries. The former includes power cables and also risks time interruptions during outages; the last forces regular altering of the batteries, generally every five years or more often. The two resources could additionally be used in tandem, each to serve as data backup for the various other.
Relying on the nature of the clocks, it may be necessary to supply user interfaces to receive and act upon the transmitted timing signals. For example, school bells need to be activated to seem at the same time. And also, though neither time lags nor system tons provide a severe issue whether cordless or wired transmissions are made use of, attempting to send signals over long ranges is an issue for both and also begs the search for a different method.
This is where POE comes in. The basic idea behind Power Over Ethernet is that each clock is connected through a single cable television to the firm computer network. This Ethernet connection supplies power to the clock and sets up a communications channel through which the clocks get their signals.
Certainly this approach is feasible only if (Pet cat 5 or much better) Ethernet connectivity is available essentially almost everywhere on university or in the plant. The good news is this is frequently the case nowadays considering that networks have ended up being essentially omnipresent. Ethernet is a fully grown as well as extensive modern technology, and IP dealing with is universally existing.
One clear benefit to this solution is that power cords as well as batteries for the clocks might be done without. You do not have to hunt around for electrical outlets as well as you do not have to stock batteries. You likewise don't have to stress over regularly transforming batteries.
Another clear benefit is that you not need to select a master clock. Essentially the local area network becomes the master, integrating all clocks (and all computer systems) automatically. Program message is straightforward in this manner, and even point-to-point communications are possible.
There might still be the demand for hardware interfaces for gadgets such as tone generators, bells, buzzers, and whistles. However this need is independent of exactly how you synchronize the timepieces.
The large benefit is that scheduling can be decentralized. You can configure specific message boards to present information based on their place. You can regulate sounds as an unit or separately.
There are a couple disadvantages to POE. One is that clocks aren't consistently put near the network. They might be up high for better visibility, as an example.
Simply puts, one could need to adjust a little bit. The clocks might have to be situated in close proximity to an Ethernet connector, or, alternatively, the network may need to be included suit watches in more eliminated areas.
The other possible disadvantage is that these added devices (wrist watches) might offer excessive of an additional tons on the computer network. This may be an issue just for big companies, but it must be thought about.
Normally, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Power over Ethernet is much less pricey because installment as well as procedure expenses are obviated. And clock synchronization ends up being a desire.

Dining at home can be an economical alternative to restaurant dining. Break out of the dinner doldrums and make mealtime special again with simple suggestions and a few gourmet touches. Create easy, but elegant meals with fancy flair!Gourmet Touches Add Elegance with EaseDress It Up - The most memorable part of a meal is the company. Whether the guest list includes family, friends or just a quiet meal for two, encourage everyone to come in their best and get everyone involved in preparing the meal. Tip-Top Table Touches - Set the scene for a special dining experience with a nice tablecloth and special serving dishes. Candles and music help add ambiance. Adorn the table with a beautiful floral centerpiece. Roses are the ideal choice to add a classical elegance to any meal. They also make a lovely gift for the host or hostess. Create a perfect pairing with a bottle of wine to complement the meal. Restaurant-Style - Recreate the restaurant-style basket of warm bread in your own home with take-and-bake bread varieties. Make simple swaps to make serving special. Offer oil and herbs for bread dipping. Replace the pepper shaker with a peppermill for fresh flavor. Food with Flair - Garnish plates with eye-catching edibles. Think beyond parsley to green, yellow and red peppers, shredded carrots and orange slices. Show condiment creativity by drizzling plates with mustard, ketchup, soy sauce or other sauces before plating food. Get creative and explore alternative serving dishes.

I never expected to fall in love with Smith Price. Now he was more than my lover. He was my obsession. My savior. My future.
But someone had to pay for the sins of our fathers. Ghosts don’t always haunt you. Sometimes they stalk you down and demand retribution.
We promised each other forever, but we might not live to see tomorrow.
My Thoughts
What we have here is the roller coaster of a finale to Smith’s and Belle’s story. There’s so much going on between them and around them that you really have no idea who’s going to last and what it’s going to mean.
Throughout their story, we know that Smith’s past is dark and dreary yet we don’t know the extent of it and i don’t know that we’ll ever learn about what it truly is. We know that he’s controlled by Hammond and that his father was as well, but there’s so much more to the story. Even to the point that Smith’s working with Alexandra to take Hammond down.
Of course that means that Belle will again be caught in the crossfire. While her past isn’t the best, she’s making her future with Smith, and that’s coming with it’s fair share of pain and suffering.
We know that they secretly got married while in New York and we know that they want to make a life together, but each is a target now for Hammond and each will do whatever they need in order to keep the other alive and safe. That comes at a Price (no pun intended).
So throughout this final installment to their story, we see that they are torn apart, pulled together, scared out of their minds through car jackings, murder etc, that you wonder if love is enough to keep them together.
Tying it all together, we get to see how the truly dominant side of Smith is the perfect thing to keep them together – Ms Lee is really doing a great job with this story line giving him that persona – so that we get to see that what he was raised to do within the lifestyle isn’t what he needs in his life but it’s come in handy when certain skills are needed. It’s hot and passionate and exactly what’s right for this story.
So all in all, we get closure on things with quite a few surprises. Characters that we love aren’t where they are meant to be necessarily in the end. And in the author’s notes, there’s the teaser that there will be more so i can’t wait to see a story for Edwards, and hopefully for Lola and Georgia as well. Enjoy!

As explained already it is only of recent - say in the early thirties that Ewohimi began to have a lot in common with the rest of Esan particularly what used to be called ISHAN A' .
To the surrounding districts of Emu, Ohordua, Ewatto, Ebelle ,Ekpon, Amahor, Ogwa, Ugun, Ujiogba, Okalo and Ewossa, the Enijie of Ewohimi were well known and through them they paid their yearly homage to the Oba. To correlate the history of the two parts of Esan land, it is Helpful to know the contemporary Enijie. Alaan, the first Onojie of Ewohimi was installed the same time as Ekpereijie of Irrua, Ichesan of Uromi, Oghomighon of Ubiaja, Onor of Ugboha, Uwagbo of Emu etc. While the great Odia was a contemporary of Usifo of Ubiaja, Ediale of Uromi, Okouruwa of Irma etc. Aigbe reigned at the same period as Isidaehomen I of Irrua, Agboga of Ubiaja, Olumese of Ugboha and Akhilomen of Uromi. Ifebho was overlord of Ewohimi while Eromosele the Great was the monarch of Irrua, Ogbidi at Uromi, Okojie at Ugboha and the wise Imadojiemu at Opoji acting as Caretaker for the young Akhimien of Ekpoma.
OSAWE, 1540: May be mentioned because he installed the first Enijie of Ewossa and Ebhoato. Osa the elder and more cantakerous was installed about 1545 and Oloon of Ebhoato, taking a cue from the resistance of Ebhosa, was installed about five years later.
THE GREAT ODIA: He became the Onijie about 1810 and was a loved and much respected Onojie. It was during his reign that a great personal friendship started between the Oba of Benin and the Onojie of Ewohimi. It arose in this way.
Obanosa died in 1816 and soon after his two eldest sons – Eredia -Uwa who was first and Ogbebo the second began to fight for the throne. A civil war broke out and in this Eredia-Uwa lost and knowing that his head would certainly have fallen to make his brother secure on the throne he had won by conquest, fled to Ebhokimi. Despite the bribes of Ogbebo to the Enijie of Esan, Eredia-Uwa's life was ably protected by Odia who gave him refuge. All attempts Ogbebo made through powerful agents were foiled by Odia's over-all protection for the Prince's life. After eight months another civil war broke out at Benin and the usurper, Ogbebo, with defeat and disgrace staring him in the face, destroyed everything in the Palace including himself by hanging.
Jubilant messengers were sent to Ebhokimi to invite Eredia-Uwa home. He returned to Benin and was crowned OSEMWEDE in the later part of 1816. The erstwhile fugitive in Ewohimi completely at the mercy of Odia, now became the Oba of Benin, the overlord of Esanland. The good change in his fortune did not make him forget the deep gratitude he owed his protector Odia. His first act of reward was to give Odia and his successor the full right to use the full IDIGBA, the stiff coral bead neckwear, which originally meant to give the wearer a proud and disdainful look, made him look more like a man suffering from Torticollis than a mere victim of Pride! To this day the Onojie of Ewohimi still uses the Idigba on state occasions. Oba Osemwede is said to have given Odia the right to BAA IGBEN, that is, the full power to take any man forcefully as his servant, or any woman as a wife, single or already married. Every Onojie had this power which of course was limited to his own territory where he was lord of all he surveyed. No Oba could have given any Onojie the power to force a woman into his charm from another Onojie's domain. If any Onojie tried that he would have an interclan war in his hands before the Oba heard of his death.
IFEBHO ascended the Ewohimi throne just as the Europeans were coming into Esanland with the result that his greatness was expended in bringing good things to Ewohimi rather than his greatness being measured by the degree of atrocities as of old. Eight years after his ascension in 1908, the AGBOR - UBIAJA Main Road was opened and this went a long way to break the old isolation of this great country district. In 1918 the Ewohim Native Court was established, thus confirming it as the judicial headquarter: of ISHAN "B’. Like Momodu of Irrua, Okojie of Ugboha, Imadojiemun of Opoji, Oribhabo of Ohordua, Ifebho was made a District Head (D.H) for the area in 1920.
When the tyrannical Ishan Enijie Council combining executive with judicial powers was founded in 1920, Ifebho of Ewohimi was one of the members shown as above. He died after a long reign of 31 years, at ~ O'clock of the morning of 4th March, 1931, a month after Okojie of Ugboha.
The first ruler of Ibi was a partriline relation of Ewohimi. Osoah had the following sons: the most senior was IBI, then Agaah, Osa and Ato Ibi unfortunately messed up with one of his father's wives; Osoah though aged, had continued to collect lovely women in his harem and verily had he been described as the type of woman lover who if he knew the world was coming to an end tomorrow would still be making preparations for a new wife today!
Ibi's lapse was therefore unfortunate and Osoah could not demand the usual maximum penalty; he was however banished from Ewohimi and he with this family founded fbi. At Osoah's death, the second son Agaah, performed the burial ceremonies and succeeded his father!
Up to today, 1993, there is still heated argument regarding first, whether Osa and Ato are brothers of Ikimi, secondly which of the two Osa or Ato was senior and thirdly who was maternal brother of Ikimi. From the areas, Ewohimi, Ewossa and Ewatto and from the archives I could find no agreement. In the fifties the nearest thing to the truth which the elders gave to me was that OSA WAS SENIOR TO ATO and a maternal brother of Ikimiof Orikimi but in 1986 Ewatto people swore that they were senior and closer to Ewohimi than Ewossa. H.L.M. Butcher in the thirties tried to unravel the truth, got different stories at Ewohimi, Ewossa and Ewatto. He finally went to Benin where he was told Ato was the senior as narrated by Onosegbe I. When I dug into the matter in 1953 my findings were that Osa and Ato were not brothers to the founder of Orikhimi but children, that is they are later arrivals. Ewohimi is thus in a father position to Ewossa and Ewatto. As for seniority the traditional tie between the three places despite politics is still so strong that no junior will attempt to break kolanuts in the presence of a senior. In a gathering of Ewossa and Ewatto, Ewatto has the honour - I gathered that this honour followed the late Joseph Odigie's failure at his second election into the House of Assembly. He traced his catastrophic failure to the people of Ewossa who never voted for him and he, hurt and humiliated, swore he would get his revenge which took the form of his crusade round the area to emphasize that it is against Esan custom for two maternal brothers to choose before a third but junior brother from another DOOR (another wife). Since the order had been Ewohimi, Ewossa, both from same mother and then Ewatto, the correct Ishan custom is Ewohimi, Ewatto and Ewossa and this argument won! This is a forceful argument based on wrong premises. If one looks at the Genealogical Tree of Ewohimi one would see the level of the Princess called Osa and Ewatto.
They were no brothers of Ehhokirni but great great grandchildren of Ikimi founder of Orikimi (Ewohimi). The four Princes were - Ibi, Agaah, Osa and Ato, children of 05030, son of Alaan, the first Onojie of Ewohimi. Thus they are children of Ewohimi, NOT BROTHERS. How could they be children from different wives with Ato coming from a different mother when Osa and Ato were not children of Alaan the first Onojie of Ewohimi. Being children of 05030, yes - they could come from different wives of the second Onojie. If indeed the late Joseph Odigie propounded the theory that made Ewatto senior to Ewossa it is based on entirely false premises.
In the early fifties our elders were not steeped in politic s that today colour all matters. They still had fear of the departed spirits. Let me illustrate what I am saying. I see a good cheer for those of us who had been advocating for maintenance of our custom. Irrespective of education, religion and posit ion in the community. After nearly a hundred years of arguing whether Osa or Ato was senior, the Ewohimi, Ewossa and Ewatto communities had quietly ignored the arguments and maintained their custom. As already described under cutting of kolanut tree (Chapter Ill) it is seen that no important function takes off in Esan land without asking for the blessings of God and departed ancestors without kolanuts. In a gathering of Ewohimi, Ewossa and Ewatto people Ewohimi breaks the kolanuts, if it is a gathering of Ewossa and Ewatto people only "AN Ewatto man breaks the nuts", Ewatto people told me in 1986. So I went back to the area on 16th of May, 1987. Ewatto elders maintained they were senior and usually break kolanuts but at Ewossa the Onojie H.R.H. Stephen Eidenojie, felt so hurt that he pleaded with me to tarr y a bit and he immediately went for two of the oldest men - Omoijiahio confirmed what I had known since the early fifties when I gathered the materials for ISHAN NATIVE LAWS AND CUSTOM: that Ewossa was the senior of the two brothers and so was NUMBER TWO in the Ewohimi - Ewossa - Ewatto group.

Esco sul tetto | My hubby states: “Its like being on a single date that is first the last two decades”
The stereotypes for autism are incredibly strong and thus on the basis of the model that is male medical experts frequently are not able to spot it in females, instead misdiagnosing these with psychological state conditions such as for example manic depression or Borderline Personality Disorder. If they are unlucky sufficient and to have real medical issues, such as for instance Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a connective tissue condition, frequently present in autistic ladies), they chance being written down as hypochondriacs or, in extreme situations, told they will have Munchausen problem. I happened to be misdiagnosed with Hyperventilation Syndrome and recommended tranqulisers. This is certainly one approach to addiction, another may be the drugs and alcohol that some autistic females used to relieve anxiety that is social.
There was an intimacy that is forced the cocoon of a psychiatric medical center, a relaxing rhythm to your day and – somewhere within group treatment and a 12 steps fulfilling – we dropped in love. We knew the emotions were dissimilar to how many other individuals skilled. But again I became gripped by longing and terror.
I might watch for hours into the patients’ kitchen area, hoping to get yourself a glimpse of Tim, then feel ill with fear the moment We saw him. I would have imaginary conversations in my own mind, but find it difficult to engage he was right there in front of me with him when. The fact simply didn’t match the experiences associated with heroines when you look at the Jilly Cooper and Marian Keyes publications we voraciously devoured during the time.

Penguins explore an aquarium closed due to coronavirus - CNET
These are the adorable animal videos you need right now.
March 17, 2020 8:31 a.m. PT
The aquarium's rockhopper penguins are taking "field trips" to visit other animals.
Need a break from coronavirus news? Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, which is temporarily closed due to the outbreak, is providing a much needed dose of adorable animals.
The aquarium this week shared videos of rockhopper penguins going on a "field trip" to visit other animals and exhibits in the aquarium. In the videos, the penguins -- Wellington and bonded-pair Edward and Annie -- explore the information desk, an Amazon River exhibit and other areas of the aquarium.
"While Chicago's Shedd Aquarium may be closed to the public, animal care staff and veterinarians are onsite 24/7," an aquarium spokesman said in an emailed statement Tuesday. "Without guests in the building, caretakers are getting creative in how they provide enrichment to animals – introducing new experiences, activities, foods and more to keep them active, encourage them to explore, problem-solve and express natural behaviors."
The Shedd is encouraging people to keep an eye on its social media pages to check on what the aquarium's animals are up to.
As the coronavirus continues to spread, aquariums, zoos, museums and may other public places have temporarily closed. President Donald Trump on Monday encouraged Americans to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, as the country practices social distancing. As of Tuesday, there are over 4,500 confirmed coronavirus cases in the US and 85 deaths.

Taped Sessions from 2017 AFS Annual Meeting Published on Youtube - American Folklore Society
Taped Sessions from 2017 AFS Annual Meeting Published on Youtube
You can now watch eight special sessions from the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Folklore Society in Minneapolis, Minnesota that have been published to the AFS Youtube channel. To view these sessions, visit the 2017 AFS Annual Meeting playlist.
"A Conversation with Tim Lloyd"
Tim Lloyd, Michael Ann Williams, and Randy Williams (chair)
Sponsored by the American Folklore Society, the Archives and Libraries Section, and the AFS Oral History Project
Randy Williams (Utah State University) and Michael Ann Williams (Western Kentucky University) interview Tim Lloyd (American Folklore Society) about his life and work at the 2017 American Folklore Society Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"How to Get Your Work Published" (Professional Development Workshop)
Sponsored by the American Folklore Society and Indiana University Press
So you're working on a folklore book or article manuscript and want to get it published. How do you go about doing that? How does the publishing process work? This open workshop will cover the scholarly publishing process for books and journals in its entirety. Topics explained include the inside of a scholarly press—who does what, choosing the right publisher for you, when and how to contact a publisher, the review process, handling rejection, contracts and copyright, and what happens to your manuscript after contract.
"A Conversation with Bill Ferris"
Bill Ferris and Glenn Hinson (chair)
Sponsored by the American Folklore Society and the AFS Oral History Project
Few folklorists have played as important a role in shaping public perceptions of our discipline as Bill Ferris. For more than four decades, Dr. Ferris has served as one of the field's most tireless public advocates, eloquently arguing for the centrality of folklore to all cultural study, while demonstrating how insights arising from the study of vernacular culture inherently contribute to the struggle for social justice. Well-known as a scholar of the blues and other forms of southern vernacular artistry, Dr. Ferris joins us in this special AFS session to reflect on his life as a folklorist and a public scholar.
"Back to the Future: Questions for Theory in the 21st Century" (Francis Lee Utley Lecture)
Elliott Oring, Marcia Gaudet, and Frank de Caro (chair)
Sponsored by the AFS Fellows
There is a tendency for folklore scholars to read theory in other fields and apply those theories to their own disciplinary subject. The idea is to "stay current," be on "the cutting edge," or even, perhaps, "keep in step." There are definite costs to the pursuit of such theoretical fashions, however. It allows theories in other disciplines to drive folkloristic inquiry. The theories often do not address questions that emerge from the study of the materials—legends, songs, proverbs, festivals, or jokes—that are the objects of the folklorist's scrutiny. In fact, in applying these theories to folklore, it may be that many deep and important questions are overlooked. What folklorists may need to do is look backwards in an attempt to identify those questions that have driven the field and to craft research and build theories that speak to these questions.
"Ecojustice and Folklife" (Don Yoder Lecture)
Jeff Todd Titon, Margaret Kruesi (chair), Mary Hufford and Rory Turner (discussants)
Sponsored by the Folk Belief and Religious Folklife Section
Ecojustice combines environmental responsibility with social justice. It aspires to combat the effects of global warming, habitat degradation, and environmental hazards upon the Earth and all living beings. In this lecture, I consider ways that folklife studies may bring to ecojustice traditional ecological knowledges with the ability to sustain local populations and to maintain cultural and material resources for survival. I outline a sound ecological path that may help establish more just and fair relations among humans, other living beings, and the environment.
"Communicating About the Field" (Professional Development Workshop)
Lynne S. McNeill, Trevor J. Blank, Andrea Kitta, Clifford Murphy, and Dorothy Noyes
Sponsored by the American Folklore Society
As stewards of the discipline of folklore studies, we strive to succeed in our field while also successfully collaborating with other fields and educating the general public. We need to communicate in different styles to different audiences, working with non-folklorists' partial understandings of our field while avoiding oversimplifying or undervaluing the academic rigor of our work in the eyes of other scholars. On the academic front, interdisciplinary work is hampered by other scholars' unfamiliarity with what our discipline encompasses. Folklore is a perennially popular subject in the media, but unless we can speak accessibly and engagingly about our work (and about the field in a broad sense), journalists and other content producers will continue to turn to non-folklorists for interviews and consultations. Participants in this workshop will discuss how best to communicate about our work outside the field, and will encourage contributions from those in the audience.
"Her-Story: A Feminism and Folklore Retrospective 2017"
Patricia Sawin and Kay Turner (chairs), Kristina Downs, Lisa Gilman, Jeana Jorgensen, Solimar Otero, Summer Pennell, Afsane Rezaei, and Brittany Warman
Sponsored by the American Folklore Society and the Women's Section
Following the 2016 Folklore and Feminism Retrospective in Miami that covered the years 1970 to 1995, AFS President Kay Turner has invited a group of new generation feminist folklore scholars to participate in a follow-up session. This panel will review the discipline's study of gender and feminism from 1995 to the present, examining increasingly intersectional and global approaches to feminism and folklore in particular. We hope to both continue and expand upon the invigorating discussions begun in 2016, focusing on contemporary theory and practice, pedagogy, issues around fieldwork, and activism.
"The Witch in Flight" (AFS Presidential Address)
Kay Turner and Dorothy Noyes (chair)
The witch in flight provides an excellent point of departure for considering certain analytical benefits found at the intersection of folkloristics, performance, feminism, and queer theory. As it should, the study of folklore leads us to ask some big, sometimes strange, questions. One of these might be, "Why do witches fly?" and secondly, "Why should we care?" This address seeks to answer both, or at least to suggest that attempting to answer big old cultural questions is more than half the fun of being a folklorist. Tales of the witch wife and Baba Yaga's hens will guide our ascent even as we interrogate the lurid, nearly pornographic images of flying females made and distributed in the early 16th century by Albrecht Dürer's student Hans Baldung Grien, followed 200 years later by Goya's etchings of horrifying brujas poderosas (powerful witches). Visual culture and oral-literary culture compete to encode the meaning of the witch in flight, but a 21st century expanded view of folklore holds the key—or should we say broom handle—to a deeper understanding of her flight and ours.
In addition, an audio recording was made of "Resistance, Reclamation and Re-Creation in Minnesota Native American Women's Storytelling," a special forum with five Minnesota Native women who are active in carrying forward traditional story content and modes of telling in novel formats, including film, play writing, poetry, mapping, and quilting. That recording will be posted when it is available.

Noob with questions... » Forum Post by Richiemoe
February 26, 2014 5:00:22 PM from Galactic Civilizations III Forums
I kind of got into Sins of a Solar Empire a few years ago. I mean played it some and enjoyed it, but I never played it enough to get past the learning curve. I think part of the problem was that I played on my laptop and without a mouse. So i think i recall navigation being a pain for me... lol Its been awhile. And I kept wanting to compare it to BOTF; which was an amazing game that I still occasionally play today!!!
Do you think this new game will still have the same type of game play versus Sins? Or will it be a little more smooth? What are greatest improvements you guys think there will be?
I looked at buying Distant Worlds awhile ago, but that would have required me building a new computer... (i already have an i7 with 8bg ram... lol) I liked the very in depth open world though. I'm more about the game play, than I am about the graphics. The screenshots look sweet for GC3 though! I wish the video would have showed a little bit of game play.
There are only a handful of game titles that i really play. And since I'm not going to pay $15/month for Elder Scrolls Online, COD is already getting old, Far Cry 4 is a long ways away, and Command & Conquer looks iffy, so i'm looking for a game to fill that void... I am really stuck on if i should go for the purchase before March 2nd though.... Maybe play Sins again and see if that excitement comes back?

an i7 is a brand, not a processor; there are i5-branded chips that are better than i7's in the desktop world and in the mobile world there are i3's better than some of them
that said this game is nothing like sins
sins was published but not developed by stardock and was a real-time not a turn-based strategy game (though there were some real-time aspects of galciv2)
as a decade-long stardock customer i can guarantee you they'll make it worth your $ - $40 isn't much of a risk
Reply #2 February 26, 2014 5:30:22 PM
The GalCiv games do have a pretty steep learning curve if you've never played a 4X game before. However, the nice thing about them is you can take your time. I don't play Sins much because I don't like the pressure, LOL. I like a good TBS game where you can sit back, relax and take your time with your decisions. You can even drink beer while playing! Try playing Starcraft after a couple beers and see how far that gets you.
I highly recommend you get the GalCiv 2 Ultimate Edition on Steam. It's only 20 bucks and is still a phenomenal game. Then you will know if it's your thing before dropping more money on the new one.
Reply #3 February 27, 2014 1:02:55 AM
Well from what I know I would say Galactic civilizations is easier to control because Real time is harder to manage. You can take all the time between turns. It's not so hard to learn. It's complex but play the tutorial. Control is not a problem because it is not Real time, and buy a mouse. It's not required for the game.
Reply #4 February 27, 2014 12:15:33 PM
Thanks for the input. I guess i thought this was going to be like Sins, so i was a little turned off. But still interested. I plan on buying GalCiv2 Ultimate tonight. The more i'm reading about it and some of the much older forums that come up in the google results, it looks very similar to BOTF!
@ofRealmTruFaith: I thought that i7 was the type of processor and Intel was the brand and ivy bridge was the class? I have the first gen i7 to come out. but true many of the newer i3's are much faster than my i7.
$40 really isn't that much, since many newer games cost that, plus have in game stuff for sale or monthly dues...
@NelsMonsterX2: BOTF is a 4X game. there was a learning curve with understanding the game, but it was nice being able to go at my own pace! it made it feel much more strategic. much more time for drinking beer! lol
@admiralWillyWilber: i usually always play the tutorials for these games. helps out a lot! i have a better mouse now that works on fabric and even have a desk now, so i am ready to go! haha
i wish they would show a little bit of game footage before March 2nd though... just thought of this, I bet this game will look pretty cool hooked up to a big screen tv!

Yep, this is the same genre as Star Trek: Birth of the Federation. You can make some trekky ships with the ship creator, if you can get into it that is. It is easily a huge time waster, especially in the beginning. He he.

I am learning to use a program that will record whatever I am doing on my PC Win7 desktop. I will be recording what I do playing the 'beta' of GalCiv3. I will edit the recording and post (upload) to youtube (and here if there was a place?). SD permits this. So I will post a heads up here when the vid is ready. It won't be before 2 March 2014, sorry. However, based on SD's past record (excellent), Froggy's enthusiasm for gaming, and what I have already seen in the founder's vault - if you like GalCiv2, you will love GalCiv3.

Ok my thing on GalCivs II is it keeps crashing and I dont know why. Anyone have the same probs?
Reply #9 March 2, 2014 11:47:26 PM
Details would help I have some reasons why. Have you updated drivers lately how new is your computer. What operating system are you using. There are updeates to the game have you installed. These could be problems. There are more, but I really need to know how you are playing. Like for instance have you heard of virtual memory.

Intel is the company, i7 is a brand, ivy bridge is the microarchitecture and 965 is the processor (most likely model, assuming you've truly got an original i7; see ark.intel.com/compare/37148,37147,37149 )
- brands are meaningless marketing things
- microarchitectures are microcode additions and modifications to binary-compatible macroarchitectures (IA32x64 or x86-64; "Intel 64" or 'EM64T') plus their lithography used [manufacturing process]
SHORTVERSION == microarchitecture = the specifications of the processing hardware which operating systems and other code must take into account to run optimally/efficiently on them and take advantage of their new features
- class generally refers to package, formfactor or socket i.e. LGA1366 or PBA986 (Land Grid Array tells you the packaging of the processor, the chipsets and thus motherboard formfactors and types on systes in which said processors can be installed etc)
if you learn Intel's nomenclature you can know almost every importance feature of a given processor by its model# (AMD has no such consistency) but its branding (i7, i5, i3, Pentium, Celeron, xeon, opteron, phenom, Athlon)
the only partial exception to this is with overclocking models - anything with {K, X, extreme, black, fx} in its name means you're paying more $ for less utility and warranty in exchange for the ability to get a few additional MHz per clock; DUMB idea (economically and technologically - makes you less efficient, less secure and less precise)
hope I've been clear? 't's my passion to inform people about technology and economics (probably part of why I enjoy GalCiv and appreciate StarDock as a company?)
Reply #11 March 6, 2014 8:24:01 PM
thanks Realm! i consider myself pretty tech savy, but i did not know that nearly as in depth of you. i usually just go by socket and the price of the CPU. then i wait for prices to go down and upgrade to extreme if it works out. but i don't think it would be simple/possible or cost efficient to upgrade the CPU in my laptop... i'm more of a desktop guy... lol thanks again for the info!!!
Reply #12 March 6, 2014 9:24:17 PM
no problem, richiemoe! I'm an IA\IT professional and have been for some time - even though i'm only almost 23
I'm a partner with barlowcomputers.com feel free to reach out to us for advice anytime!

If your archetecture is Ivy bridge then your I7 has to be a third generation. The first generation I7 was sandy bridge or earlier you actually have a recent graphics archetecture. Ivy bridge is state of the art. Your processor has to be a third generation, or you don't have Ivy bridge.
Reply #14 March 7, 2014 10:43:28 AM
thanks, i'll check out the site, Realm.
you are correct Willy. i was just using Ivy Bridge as an example. i'm looking into them for a new desktop. my laptop has "Quad i7-740QM". i think that is the first gen of i7.

Your own Copenhagen: Getting married in Copenhagen…
…is very much doable! You will have to fill in some paperwork, forward copies of your passport and a certificate of marital status, and if neither of you are Danish citizens you will have to pay a fee of DKK 500.
Once the paperwork is in order you are free to get married at city hall, or anywhere within the municipality of Copenhagen. The authorities offer weddings at specific locations around the city this summer, the wedding office can tell you more. (See the below website for details.)
However, if you have your own special idea of just where and when and how, you can contact a Borgerrepræsentant ("citizen representative" at city hall) and ask them to wed you. It is up to the individual Borgerrepræsentant (and his/her busy schedule) whether to agree to a wedding, but they are usually very forthcoming and helpful. Again, the wedding office can tell you more about the possibilities.
Remember that some of the public parks are under the administration of the Palaces and Properties Agency, and you may have to obtain permission if you wish to have an event here.
Plan well in advance, it's difficult to improvise a wedding when so much paperwork is required.
Find further information here. And have a wonderful day. :o)
-MB (married in Kongens Have on 21 May 2011)
M. 1 August 2011 at 12:26
Very useful! I'm thinking of actually doing it so thanks for the details! and congrats for your great blog!

Ploytec πλ² Pi L Squared synth PL02.56 firmware launched
Ploytec Synthesizer πλ² Pi L Squared gets alternative PL02.56 firmware
Ploytec has announced a new firmware for the πλ² Pi L Squared synthesizer.
The new "PL02.56 firmware", comes with a "Vocal Tract" model filter offering formant sounds and speech. It's a tribute to the General Instruments SP0256-AL2 chip from the early 80s, combined with the ability to play it as an instrument.
There are different performance modes available, allowing both: Playing the "allophones" (speech elements) on the keyboard while controlling the notes via the modulation wheel, or the other way around, selecting the allophones via the modulation wheel and playing notes on the keyboard. The PL02.56 firmware lets you choose between alphabetical and original order, plus supports using e.g. an Ableton Launchpad mini to access all 64 allophones.

Until November 15th, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is accepting public comment on the first draft of regulations for the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The bill, passed by Congress and signed by the Administration in 2011, represents the most significant overhaul of federal food safety laws in more than six decades.
Historically, the FDA has sought to regulate only the processing, handling, and manufacturing aspects of food safety. The proposed rules now extend considerably to the farm level and have the potential to impact, and possibly prohibit, beneficial farm management practices that contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation. Despite stating an intent to encourage conservation in the Act’s preamble, the FDA has not yet adequately integrated conservation aims – to protect biodiversity, soil, water, wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife – into the draft’s relevant regulations.
As part of the FSMA’s “Produce Rule,” Congress has required that the FDA increase the safety of fruits and vegetables on farms through a standardization of practices specifically related to “animals in the growing area.” However, while animals can and have introduced contamination to produce production on farms, research has shown that native U.S. wildlife actually tend to have a low prevalence of carrying pathogens. It seems that on-farm wildlife habitats may be unreasonably regarded as the principle culprit of bacterial contamination.
The Wild Farm Alliance, which promotes agricultural practices that preserve wildlands and increase biodiversity, has made the above point in a recent guide to conservation and food safety for producers facing the implementation of FSMA. The publication notes that scrutiny of wild areas on farms reflects a current social and political climate of “food-safety angst,” which has been built up in recent years by a rise in national attention to outbreaks of produce-borne illness and increasing concerns about bioterrorism.
Crucially, important conservation and biodiversity measures such as wetlands, windbreaks, and hedgerows could be considered wildlife habitats that would be thus impacted by the Produce Rule. Under the proposed FSMA regulations, ranchers and farmers may face restrictions on integrated grazing practices and/or be required to remove forested areas and riparian plantings that contribute to carbon sequestration. Enhanced on-farm biodiversity can also help regulate farmscape microclimates, enhance pollinator habitat and improve water quality—all essential climate adaptation services. In order to avoid unnecessarily sacrificing climate-friendly farm management practices, it is essential that the FDA address conservation considerations alongside existing food safety concerns.
This overview from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) provides an accessible account of how food safety and conservation can be successfully “co-managed” when conservation measures are directly incorporated into food safety standards. NSAC has also launched a campaign encouraging farmers and consumers to respond to the regulations available thus far.
Farm management undoubtedly must be aimed at reducing the risk of pathogen introduction and survival. Keeping food safety auditors happy, however, should not have to come at the expense of responsible on-farm conservation practices.
