The three trumpet valves symbolise the crucial role played by brass instruments in Honegger's orchestral works. Together with the locomotive wheel and compressor, the piano keyboard and the score, they evoke Honegger's famous composition about a locomotive.
With his symphonic work 'Pacific 231', Honegger created a musical monument to this wonder of technology. The wheel symbolises rhythm, power and motion, and the compressor stands for technology mastering power. The two elements conjure up the composition's recurrent themes of acceleration and deceleration.
Typical parts of the score of 'Pacific 231' are reproduced. The musical notation reflects an intense rhythmic texture and evokes both the composer as creator and the typical sound of 'Pacific 231'.
The piano is the composer's work instrument. Together with the trumpet valves, the piano keyboard represents two fundamental principles of Honegger's composition: rhythm as a vital, defining structure and harmony, which aims at immediate effect.
The portrait on the front of the 20-franc note shows Arthur Honegger (1892-1955), one of the 20th century's greatest composers. The broad-ranging work of this Swiss composer includes two operas, five symphonies, several orchestral works, various dramatic oratorios and a large body of chamber music. In addition to his famous symphony for the steam locomotive 'Pacific 231' (the elements on the reverse of the banknote refer to this work), Honegger wrote extensively in a lighter vein for the ballet, stage and film. The strict formalism and clarity of his musical idiom, with which he hoped to reach a very wide audience, is an important bridge between German and French-speaking culture. | The three trumpet valves symbolise the crucial role played by brass instruments in Honegger 's orchestral works .

Our electronic devices produce and accumulate a certain amount of data every day which we do not always manage to control. Where do all this information go? How to deal with it? Nature Electrique seeks to reveal the invisible flow – Big Data – through a touch and sound installation that allows to experience the circulation and disorientation of the electronic media understood as a new type of sensitive nature.
Nature Electrique is an interactive labyrinth where the visitor is invited to circulate and get lost through a topography built of wood and electric paint. Producing sound and visual stimulation, the material reacts to touch by transforming the wood into a real “sensitive surface”. Interactions act as landmarks or obstacles that the visitor must overcome to find his way. | Our electronic devices produce and accumulate a certain amount of data every day which we do not always manage to control .

Tuesday, April 6, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Communicating to Connect. Albert Campbell Collegiate, 1550 Sandhurst Circle, Scarborough, ON 416-396-6684 The second in a series of parenting workshops run by the Albert Campbell Collegiate Parent Council.
Description: We communicate with our children (and others) in two ways: speaking and listening. The first workshop held in the fall, Listening with Empathy, focussed on connecting with our children by listening to their feelings. The challenge is to show them that even if we don't agree with their desires and opinions, we can still hear and understand their feelings. This workshop, Communicating to Connect, will explore effective and ineffective methods of speaking with our children (and all loved ones).
Thursday, April 15, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Listening with Empathy Lester Pearson Collegiate, 150 Tapscott Road, Scarborough, ON 416-396-5892 A communication workshop for parents offered by the Toronto District School Board trustee for Ward 21 (Scarborough-Rouge River).
Description: We generally want to make helpful remarks to our children when they express a concern - responses that will open and encourage communication. Yet, well-intentioned comments often have the opposite effect. This workshop will help you choose what to say when you need to connect with your child. You will learn to ~ Identify and analyze accepting and rejecting responses; ~ Practice paraphrasing and empathic listening; ~ Develop skills in value clarification; ~ Discover how to communicate helpfully with troubled people.
Description: This is the Toronto launch of the anthology From Sinai to the Shtetl and Beyond: Where Is Home for the Jewish Writer? published for the Hamilton Jewish Literary Festival in June 2009. The anthology is edited by Lil Blume and Ellen Jaffe. Lil will be among the readers.

Monday, May 10, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Writing Family Stories and Memoirs. Ottawa. A workshop for Activie Jewish Adults 50+. Contact me for information about attending this in Ottawa.
Description: Stories passed from one generation to the next carry the values, culture, and unique mythology of that family. Knowing our family's stories solidifies our sense of belonging. If you have been thinking of recording your family stories or turning genealogical data into stories, then this workshop is for you. Writer and editor, Lil Blume, will give you ideas for reviving memories and writing and organizing your family story project. Come prepared to do some writing and storytelling.
• What stories and memories should I choose?
• How do I organize this story?
• What do I say about scandals and secrets?
• What has to be true? What can I make up?
• How do I handle multiple points of view and arguments about what happened?
Participants have many issues in common and are guided to finding the best answers for their individual projects. We write and share and people leave with renewed commitment to getting these important stories into an exciting and accessible format. First time writers are welcome.
Description: "Leading the Way," the theme of CCWESTT 2010, can best be achieved by setting goals and moving towards them, yet few people actually set goals and write them down. When this workshop was presented at CCWESTT 2008, participants expressed ambivalence and fear in relation to personal and career goal-setting. Is there a genderized component to goal-setting? Is goal-setting necessary for success? What are the factors that make setting and achieving goals so difficult?
Understanding our attitudes towards goal-setting will strengthen our ability to set goals and work towards achieving them.
Check back later for workshops in Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria in May 2010.

A 32-foot-tall sign of the Navajo Indian God of Wealth and Fertility stands in front of the former Krazy Kokopelli Trading Post (now a coffee shop and Mexican restaurant).
I-17 exit 287, then drive south one block on Finnie Flat Rd. On the left.
The Trading Post has been reappropriated as a Starbucks and Mexican restaurant, but Kokopelli still proudly plays his flute out front.
Great photo op and fun to see. It's so tall! The trading post is no longer there, but it's still worth the stop.
It is still well maintained and still holding the title of World's Largest Kokopelli!
The World's Largest Kokopelli has been seriously outdone by the drive-thru Starbucks' sign. Iamgros and I were disappointed by the amount of fast food restaurants littering our photograph, but the guy selling polyester 420 blankets in the parking lot made it up to us by offering a king size howling wolf throw at half price. I guess in today's world Starbucks IS the new trading post.
The world's largest Kokopelli now stands in front of a tiny strip mall that houses a drive-thru Starbucks and a Verizon wireless store. The Kokopelli gift shop is still there, and the Kokopelli statue was freshly painted.

After-school care that is open until 7pm and places reserved for children in an emergency situation are just two of the ideas that could be trialled as the federal government looks at creative ways to increase access to out of school hours care.
Fairfax Media revealed this week some areas of Sydney are facing a critical shortage in after-school care, with significant waiting lists at some schools.
The government will begin a series of 12-month trials this month, with 60 providers across Australia being offered support to trial innovative approaches to out of school care.
Meanwhile, the Coalition has pledged to establish a Productivity Commission inquiry into childcare that would include after-school care, if elected.
The organisations picked for the trial will gather results, with the assistance of researchers, and share their findings with the government and the sector.
National Out of School Hours Services Association chairwoman Robyn Monro Miller said the initiative would be more effective than a consultant's report could be.
''Nobody ever picks up a report but they learn from concrete examples and that's what drives innovation,'' she said.
Early Childhood and Childcare Minister Kate Ellis said the initiative was about making out of school hours care more responsive to the needs of modern families.
"Parents regularly tell me how difficult it is to manage the 3pm pick-up, so outside school hours care is a vital part of giving parents the flexibility they need to stay in the workforce," she said.
The project is part of a $5.5 million initiative by the federal government to trial models of flexible childcare. Providers would receive training from leaders in the field and support from 12 new community co-ordinators.
The opposition spokeswoman for childcare, Sussan Ley, said if the Coalition was elected it would sit down with the states to look at how regulations could be restricting providers' ability to expand.
"Schools and OOSH services are not only struggling to find qualified staff, there's also the issue of enough on-site space and a suitable environment to meet numerous national quality framework rules,'' she said. | After - school care that is open until 7 pm and places reserved for children in an emergency situation are just two of the ideas that could be trialled as the federal government looks at creative ways to increase access to out of school hours care .

We are slowly becoming a more health conscious society. Fortunately some of the things we’ve come to enjoy as part of our daily eating habits turn out to have quite a few health benefits. Who would have guessed that research would reveal that some of the things we enjoy most like coffee and dark chocolate actually have many health benefits? Getting and staying healthy may not be as difficult as we had thought. Some of our favorites are full of antioxidants and flavonoids that make our body healthier as we consume them. Here are five different foods or activities that are easily incorporated into our daily eating or exercising regime. Over time, these can have quite the positive impact on one’s health. For daily health tips that can improve longevity, help you loose weight and help you fight off diabetes and other diseases please continue to read the article below.
Coffee has been a favorite beverage for many years and now it turns out that it offers some pretty significant health benefits. It contains very few calories if served without added milk or sugar, and it has a significant amount of antioxidants. Actually, we are just finding out that coffee has more antioxidants than any other foods. It also helps protect against type 2 diabetes, liver cancer, and helps promote a healthy heart.
Coffee has long been used to help us perk up in the morning and get going. But now some research is suggesting that it is actually good for the brain and it might be useful in preventing Parkinson’s disease. It is also suggested that drinking coffee may offer some protection against developing Alzheimer’s. In moderation, it seems that coffee can help reduce the risk of heart failure with participants in one study demonstrating an 11% lower risk of having heart failure and stroke when compared to those who did not consume the dark, tasty liquid. Some studies have indicated that drinking just two cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of liver cancer by as much as 40%.
Longevity of life is another health benefit we get from coffee. A New England study indicated that individuals whose ages spanned from 50 to 71 reduced the risk of dying from heart disease, diabetes or other types of health problems. This is not necessarily due to the presence of caffeine, but antioxidants which are useful for fighting off diseases. These positive results are the same for coffee drinkers whether they prefer decaf or regular coffee.
If you are selective about the type of chocolate you purchase, you might be gaining quite a few health benefits. Dark chocolate, made with high content of cocoa has actual nutritional value. For instance, it has fiber, iron, copper, zinc and several other minerals. It’s also loaded with antioxidants and can have more than blueberries or acai berries.
The flavonoids that are in dark chocolate stimulate the endothelium which is the lining inside arteries. When stimulated, they start to produce nitric oxide which causes the arteries to relax. This means lower blood pressure and increased blood flow. Some studies are showing that dark chocolate (made with real cocoa) can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It can also improve brain function because of the increased blood flow to the brain. Cocoa might improve cognitive function for the elderly as well as improving verbal fluency. This may mean it helps prevent Alzheimer’s or dementia.
There have also been a few studies that have shown dark chocolate may reduce insulin levels which means it might be beneficial for diabetics and helping to control blood sugars. Participants who ate dark chocolate for 15 days saw insulin drop by about half. If insulin sensitivity can be controlled, it may be possible to prevent type 2 diabetes. Chocolate might be helpful in controlling insulin levels.
Apple Cider Vinegar has many different uses around the house. Over the last few years research has begun to support that apple cider vinegar does offer several benefits for our health. Perhaps of interest to many people is the fact that apple cider vinegar can help with weight loss efforts. This seems to be due to the fact that vinegar has the effect on certain genes that help the body break down fats. Used along with other weight loss practices like portion control and exercise it can aid in the efforts. It can also help the body control blood sugar levels. In some studies, it has been demonstrated that apple cider vinegar can be as effective as many medicines that are commonly used for controlling blood sugar. The vinegar works in the body’s digestive system and blocks some of the starch from being digested so that it doesn’t’ raise the blood sugar level in the body. When the vinegar is taken with a starchy meal, instead of starches digesting, they become food for the good bacteria found in the gut.
Apple cider vinegar also has some benefits on the outside of the body. Its anti-bacterial properties make it useful for treating acne. It also absorbs the extra oils from the skin. It can be combined with onions and used to improve the appearance of age spots and mixing it with massage oil it can be used to fight cellulite. Since apple cider vinegar contains antiseptic properties, it can be used to fight fungal infections such as a yeast infection or candidiasis.
Another great health benefit from apple cider vinegar is relieving constipation. It works in the body to help produce a bowel movement because of the pectin it contains. Pectin is a water soluble fiber which is beneficial for helping the bowels move. On the other hand, the pectin also helps coat the lining of the colon so that it has a soothing effect and alleviates the symptoms of diarrhea.
Walking is a low impact way to exercise that is good for just about anyone. People of every age and ability will find walking a great way to reap health benefits. Regular walking is beneficial for helping keep your heart and cardiovascular system working properly. This helps greatly reduce the risk of both stroke and heart disease. Because it can help lower “bad” cholesterol, it can help keep blood pressure within normal. Not only does it help prevent heart disease, walking can also help reduce the risk of other diseases like type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.
Another reason many people engage in walking is to help lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Walking can help increase muscle tone and mass so that you increase your metabolism and burn more calories doing other daily activities. Walking can also help build strength in your legs, calves, glutes and hamstrings. It is considered to be one of the weight-bearing activities, which means it can help strengthen the bones and protect against osteoporosis.
It may seem backwards, but walking can help you increase your energy levels. Taking a brisk walk is a natural energizer. It increases circulation and oxygen which basically energizes every cell in your body which helps you feel a lot more alert. Getting your stiff joints moving can help relieve muscle tension and you will not feel as sluggish. Taking a quick walk after lunch can boost you just enough to help you have the energy to get through the rest of the day.
Coconut oil has been gaining in popularity as its health benefits become better known. It contains several acids including lauric acid, caprylic acid and antimivrobial lips which have antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. These work together to strengthen the immune system. Once it is ingested, lauric acid is converted by the body into monolaurin which is beneficial to help the body deal effectively with bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases such as influenza, herpes, HIV and cytomegalovirus.
Another health benefit of coconut oil is that is can be useful for helping with weight loss efforts. In the oil there are fatty acids, both short and long chain that help the body take off extra weight. Coconut oil works to increase the metabolic rate because it removes stress son the pancreas. This gives the person more energy and helps burn off the weight.
If you massage coconut oil into your skin it can work as a moisturizer. It works similar to mineral oil, but without the negative side effects. Coconut oil is a natural way to combat aging’s effect on the skin and it can also be an effective treatment for some skin diseases like dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and other types of skin infections. It contains antioxidants which makes it good to use for preventing degenerative diseases and premature aging.
It is important to note that these health benefits come from moderate consumption of the foods listed. Going overboard on any one item is usually going to lead to health problems over time. Moderation is the key to reaping these benefits and enjoying their positive impact. Overindulgence can often lead to health difficulties rather than offering help. | Efraim is using Smore newsletters to spread the word online .

This seems to be due to the fact that vinegar has the effect on certain genes that help the body break down fats . Used along with other weight loss practices like portion control and exercise it can aid in the efforts . It can also help the body control blood sugar levels . In some studies , it has been demonstrated that apple cider vinegar can be as effective as many medicines that are commonly used for controlling blood sugar . The vinegar works in the body ’s digestive system and blocks some of the starch from being digested so that it does n’t ’ raise the blood sugar level in the body . When the vinegar is taken with a starchy meal , instead of starches digesting , they become food for the good bacteria found in the gut .
Apple cider vinegar also has some benefits on the outside of the body . Its anti - bacterial properties make it useful for treating acne . It also absorbs the extra oils from the skin . It can be combined with onions and used to improve the appearance of age spots and mixing it with massage oil it can be used to fight cellulite . Since apple cider vinegar contains antiseptic properties , it can be used to fight fungal infections such as a yeast infection or candidiasis .
Another great health benefit from apple cider vinegar is relieving constipation . It works in the body to help produce a bowel movement because of the pectin it contains . Pectin is a water soluble fiber which is beneficial for helping the bowels move . On the other hand , the pectin also helps coat the lining of the colon so that it has a soothing effect and alleviates the symptoms of diarrhea .
Walking is a low impact way to exercise that is good for just about anyone . People of every age and ability will find walking a great way to reap health benefits . Regular walking is beneficial for helping keep your heart and cardiovascular system working properly . This helps greatly reduce the risk of both stroke and heart disease . Because it can help lower “ bad ” cholesterol , it can help keep blood pressure within normal . Not only does it help prevent heart disease , walking can also help reduce the risk of other diseases like type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer .
Another reason many people engage in walking is to help lose weight or maintain a healthy weight . Walking can help increase muscle tone and mass so that you increase your metabolism and burn more calories doing other daily activities . Walking can also help build strength in your legs , calves , glutes and hamstrings . It is considered to be one of the weight - bearing activities , which means it can help strengthen the bones and protect against osteoporosis .
It may seem backwards , but walking can help you increase your energy levels . Taking a brisk walk is a natural energizer . It increases circulation and oxygen which basically energizes every cell in your body which helps you feel a lot more alert . Getting your stiff joints moving can help relieve muscle tension and you will not feel as sluggish . Taking a quick walk after lunch can boost you just enough to help you have the energy to get through the rest of the day .
Coconut oil has been gaining in popularity as its health benefits become better known . It contains several acids including lauric acid , caprylic acid and antimivrobial lips which have antiviral , antibacterial and antifungal properties . These work together to strengthen the immune system . Once it is ingested , lauric acid is converted by the body into monolaurin which is beneficial to help the body deal effectively with bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases such as influenza , herpes , HIV and cytomegalovirus .
Another health benefit of coconut oil is that is can be useful for helping with weight loss efforts . In the oil there are fatty acids , both short and long chain that help the body take off extra weight . Coconut oil works to increase the metabolic rate because it removes stress son the pancreas . This gives the person more energy and helps burn off the weight .
If you massage coconut oil into your skin it can work as a moisturizer . It works similar to mineral oil , but without the negative side effects . Coconut oil is a natural way to combat aging ’s effect on the skin and it can also be an effective treatment for some skin diseases like dermatitis , psoriasis , eczema and other types of skin infections . It contains antioxidants which makes it good to use for preventing degenerative diseases and premature aging .
It is important to note that these health benefits come from moderate consumption of the foods listed . Going overboard on any one item is usually going to lead to health problems over time . Moderation is the key to reaping these benefits and enjoying their positive impact . Overindulgence can often lead to health difficulties rather than offering help . | 1,674 | 133 |

In New Jersey, the most common type of ant that we find infesting homes is the black carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus). This species of Carpenter Ant is large black or black/red insects that excavate wood for living space. This species doesn’t actually ingest wood but they do destroy it. Carpenter Ants can also live in any hollow space i.e. curtain rods, hollow doors, etc. Carpenter Ants prefer dead, damp wood in which to build nests. Thus, it is critical that gutters are cleaned out and not collecting debris (moisture). Because Carpenter Ants can nest anywhere from a hollow concrete block in the basement to roof trusses in the attic, a thorough inspection is critical.
In the State of New Jersey, Carpenter Ants are considered one of the larger ant species. Carpenter Ants have a one segmented petiole in the form a vertical scale and have a faded black coloring. Carpenter Ants come in various sizes but typically are ½” to 3/8” inches.
In the United States, there are several thousand ant species. Ants have three types of castes. Specifically, queens, males and workers. The queen ant produces the eggs for further ant reproduction. Once the queen ant mates, she will shed her wings. Typically, most Carpenter Ant colonies only have one queen per colony. Males on the other hand will also lose their wings and die soon after mating. Workers are comprised of infertile females of many different sizes. Workers ants’ primary responsibilities are to remain in the nest to excavate materials from the nest, cleaning and caring for broods. Because there are so many different species of ants, at time it can be difficult to tell various types of ants apart from one another. With Carpenter Ants, these are the very large black ants. More specifically, they have one node on their waist and very rounded shape top surface.
As previously indicated, there are a lot of species of ants in the Unites States. At times, other ant species may appear to look like Carpenter Ants. You have to perform a closer insect inspection to differentiate if the thorax has an even or uneven profile. If they are not Carpenter Ants, they are not usually ants that are wood destroying. That being the case, proper insect identification is critical prior to determining the best control plan strategy.
Alliance Pest Services has your solution. Alliance will first conduct a thorough inspection of your home and property in an effort to find and eliminate Carpenter Ant nests. The home owner may need to have damaged wood replaced, if possible, to reduce and/or eliminate moisture problems. Eliminating a Carpenter Ant colony is a tuff task. Alliance Pest Services has the experience and an extensive array of materials to safely and effectively control and eliminate your Carpenter Ant problems.

Initially, Steranko was asked to draw a Western story but said that he wanted to do a romance story instead. He felt that so much of the romance comic book stories were done in the “Jay Scott Pike” style that he wanted to try something radically different, and unlike any other romance story anyone had ever seen!
After penciling and inking the Stan Lee plotted story, Steranko decided he would color it himself. Knowing his color choices were non-traditional for a romance story, he decided to wait to turn the pages in just before the 5pm deadline – by which time it would be too late to change anything! Steranko recollected that Marie Severin thought it was pretty wild, but ultimately let the story pass through as he intended.
And that, my friends is the story that Steranko told me! Unfortunately as I said, I didn’t have anything to record this discussion with since it occurred spur of the moment. But sometimes, those encounters are the best and elicit the most genuine of stories! It was clear from his enthusiasm that Steranko not only enjoyed telling me about his sole romance story, but that he had a great time creating it!
*A big thank you to color guide owner, Matthew Holtzman, as well as Tony Robertson who runs the terrific website, The Drawings of Steranko where the above pages are hosted. If you would like to read “My Heart Broke in Hollywood” it has been reprinted a few times and can be found on a number of websites including True Love Comics Tales which posted it just a few days ago! | Initially , Steranko was asked to draw a Western story but said that he wanted to do a romance story instead .

There are so many kinds of detail that people must pay attention when they want to make kind of great decoration inside their own house especially in their bedrooms. Sometimes people think that they do not need to pay full attention for the detail. They could think like this because they have kind of opinion that they do not need to make kind of special decoration in a room where will not be visited by the guest because it is the most private area for the owner for sure.
However, people actually should pay attention in decorating not for the guest but for themselves only actually. People could not deny that they could get kind of great sleep experience if they get the great support from the best bfor sure. People could put kind of simple detail inside the room by choosing the best cabinet which will be put in the room after all.
People must be serious with the cabinet when choosing the ideas because cabinet could be the second dominating part of a bedroom after the bed itself of course. It means that best cabinet could make best bedroom design as well. | There are so many kinds of detail that people must pay attention when they want to make kind of great decoration inside their own house especially in their bedrooms .

A record crowd saw four spectacular Welsh finals on an historic day at Virginia Park, Caerphilly last Sunday (August 19)..
It was the first time in Wales Rugby League history where the Premier League Senior Conference final and the Junior Finals were held at the same venue.
The last final of the day saw the reigning champions the Bridgend Blue Bulls take on the unbeaten Bonymaen Broncos for the coveted Premier League Title.
The Broncos started the game the stronger building momentum with strong running from their forwards and scoring two tries through Rob Jones and Dwayne Eager both converted by captain Ian Brookes.
The Bulls then replied with a well worked try for winger Huw Rosser making the score to 12 – 4. The Bulls then failed to capitalise on their possession, on the Broncos next set they worked towards the halfway line, on tackle four and intricate move put winger Robbie Ford into space and the speedster run 50 metres for an outstanding finish converted by Brookes.
The Bulls defended well from the kick off to regain possession and a complete set sent Lewis Tutt over for a try converted by Gareth David. Broncos had the last word of an entertaining first half when Duane Eager broke through for his second of the game, goaled by Brookes. That made the half-time score 24-10 to the Broncos.
That left the score at 36-20 to the Broncos, and with15 minutes to go the next score was crucial.
The Bulls had possession but were forcing the passes and with an offload in the tackle not going to hand the Broncos were awarded a scrum.
The Broncos were clinical with Chris Stokes crashing over in the corner. To the Bulls credit they battled on and were rewarded with tries from Richard Howells and Ricky James. Collecting the ball from the restart the Bulls look to spread the ball wide but a speculative pass was intercepted by Robbie Ford who sprinted 70 metres for his second try which was converted by Brookes.
And that meant that the Broncos took the title by 46-28.
Wales Rugby League would like to congratulate Bonymaen Broncos on winning the Premier League title in their first season at this level and our commiserations go to the runners up Bridgend Blue Bulls, the game was played in excellent spirit with both teams being superb ambassadors for the community game in Wales. | A record crowd saw four spectacular Welsh finals on an historic day at Virginia Park , Caerphilly last Sunday ( August 19 ) ..

Except for A. purpurascens, the species are all quite uncommon in Michigan and all are at the edge of their range in the state. Our plants are fairly easily distinguished, but the measurements in the key may fail completely to apply to forms of the same species farther south and west, where there is apparently much more overlapping of characters and even greater variability in size of awns, glumes, and lemmas. Great Lakes area populations generally need more study.
1. Awns tightly twisted and ± connate, forming a column ca. 5–9 mm long at summit of lemma before diverging into 3 ± equal and much longer free portions.
1. Awns not forming a column, separate from their bases.
2. First glume with 3–5 distinct nerves, ca. 16–24 mm long (plus awn if present); body of lemma ca. (12–) 15–17 (–21) mm long; awns ca. 3.5–6 (–7.5) cm long.
2. First glume with 1 distinct nerve, 2.5–12.5 mm long; body of lemma 3.5–11 mm long; awns less than 3.5 cm long.
3. Middle awn on most lemmas loosely spiraled (at least when dry) in 1 or 2 loops toward its base.
4. Body of lemma ca. 7–11 mm long, with middle awn 9–18 mm long and lateral awns 6–12 mm long; glumes clearly unequal, the first usually equaling or shorter than the body of the lemma.
4. Body of lemma ca. 5–7 mm long, with middle awn mostly 4–8 mm long and lateral awns less than 2 mm long; glumes mostly subequal, both longer than body of lemma.
3. Middle awn on most lemmas bent, slightly twisted, or straight, without spiraled loops at base.
5. Middle awn of lemma ca. 7–12 mm long, strongly divergent or somewhat reflexed; lateral awns 1–4 (–5) mm long, ± erect or slightly spreading; first glume 2.5–4 (–6) mm long (excluding awn-tip if present); body of lemma ca. 3.5–5.5 mm long.
5. Middle awn of lemma ca. 15–33 mm long; lateral awns ca. 9–26 mm long; all awns somewhat spreading or divergent; first glume (4–) 5–12.5 mm long; body of lemma ca. 5–8 mm long.
6. First glume ca. (4–) 5–8 (–8.5) mm long, slightly shorter than second glume; lower sheaths essentially glabrous, the nodes mostly exposed; plants annual.
6. First glume (8–) 8.5–13.5 mm long, slightly longer than second glume; lower sheaths usually ± pilose, covering the nodes; plants perennial.

There's no man behind the curtain here!
Not sure what to do? Start here.
Our guides are designed to help you understand what you're buying, what you need, and how to complete the order form. You'll notice we've covered a variety of scenarios, but if you don't see one that best fits your situation, check our FAQs for additional information. Of course, you can always ask us a question here or give us a call.
I'm a new agent and want to understand more about M-line Media's services.
M-line Media currently offers two services to State Farm agents. Those services are Messages On-Hold and Auto Attendant. Both services are for your phone system, but perform different functions.
Messages On-Hold is exactly how it sounds, whenever you place someone on hold or park, messages and music play for your caller to hear. You can customize the messages they hear by choosing from our State Farm approved library of over 35 messages when you order a file and we also offer over 15 different music tracks to choose from. For more information about our Messages On-Hold service, including pricing and samples, please visit our Messages On-Hold service page.
Our other service, Auto Attendant, is a professional voice service for your main phone greeting and office information track. You can choose from our library of approved auto attendant messages or submit your own for approval. We also provide consultation on how to best setup your phone system for your team. For more information regarding this service, including pricing and samples, please visit our Auto Attendant service page.
I've had Melodyline before and need to update my messages.
Updating your messages can be a simple process, but you'll need to make sure of a few things before you begin. Please continue reading this guide while we cover some common scenarios.
Your first step to updating your messages will be to make sure you have a compatible player installed at your office. If you don't have an MP3 player, then you'll definitely need to purchase our package option first. That will not only get you a new unit to play your messages on, but it includes a new message file as well. If you already know that you have an MP3 player at your office, then you simply need to order a MP3 Production Only on our order page. You'll be emailed a link to download your new file a few business days after your order. The email will also contain the instructions on how to load that file to your player using a personal computer.
If you're not sure which unit you have, then you should give us a call. We can look up any previous purchases you might have made with us and tell you if you've ever registered an MP3 unit. In some cases, if you've moved offices or taken over one, there might be an MP3 unit already there. It's fairly easy to identify a tape unit among any other hardware you might have, but MP3 units are smaller and are sometimes placed in hard to see or reach places. You can learn more information about our MP3 units on our Messages On-Hold service page.
Loading your MP3 production file to your unit.
1How do I load my messages?
We actually have a very detailed guide for this that covers multiple operating systems and units that we've used in the past. Check it out here.
2I just got my new hardware, Now what?
We currently ship the players out with your production on it so that you have the piece of mind knowing the initial setup is halfway taken care of out of the box. We strive to make sure that you should be able to connect the audio cable to the player and the appropriate connection on your phone system, then plug the power in and within a minute be up and running.
Note: The SBD-100 units have the audio port near the power. This is where the audio cable will go for you wire that connects to the phone system.
1My on-hold audio sounds distorted.
2Only piano music is playing when I put someone on hold or callers hear nothing.
This is often due to the volume of the player being low or a loose connection.
We want to check the volume of the player first, simply press the volume up on the player 5-10 times. Once it is able to be heard on the phone system you can adjust the volume to where it sounds best for the customers.
We first suggest checking with the supplied headphones to make sure that the player is working. If you do hear the production playing it we would need to look at connections.
It is suggested to reseat the connections by simply unplugging and plugging them back in. Some phone systems will take more than 5-10 seconds for you to hear the change. If reseating the connection does not seem to work we will want to make sure that the connections are in the right port.
1How do I adjust my volume for my on-hold messages?
Adjusting your volume is as simple as pressing a button! On our MP3 units, you'll find 2 buttons labeled 'Volume' or with small arrows pointing 'Up' or 'Down'. Simply turn on the built-in speaker and press one of the volume buttons until you reach the desired level. We always suggest that you be on-hold when you do this so that you can hear your messages at the same volume your callers will. Often, the volume will be set too low for the Cisco phone system to pick up and your messages will revert to the default piano music.
*In older MP3 units, the volume buttons may actually be a small knob. Turn the knob clockwise for 'Up' and counter-clockwise for 'Down'.
2The status light on my 1200S unit is solid red.
Be sure that the light you're looking at is indeed on the unit itself, and not the flash drive that's plugged in. If you do have a solid red light on your unit, then you need to reboot the unit by pulling the power cord out and plugging it back in. The unit will restart and the light should turn green again after a few moments. If the light is still red after a reboot, then you'll need to contact support so they can help troubleshoot the issue. Explain any steps you took to troubleshoot the issue to avoid repeating any steps.
3Which lights on the 1200S unit are important?
The most important light on the 1200S unit is the status LED located on the side. A lot of people confuse the light on the flash drive as being the status light of the unit. While the flash drive's light does tell us some things about the drive and what it's doing, it is not affected nor does it tell us anything about the unit itself. The status light on the unit can display 1 of 4 different states.
Solid green or blinking green - This means that the unit is functioning properly.
Orange or yellow - You'll see this color whenever you press a button on the unit, or when a new file is being copied to the system.
Blinking red - This status indicates a failure to load a new file because it is missing the dealer security code. To learn more about this feature, please see our FAQ about security codes.
Solid red - If the light on your unit is solid red, you should reboot it first and remove the flash drive if there is one plugged in. If it continues to stay red, then please contact our support team for assistance.
1I ordered a new package and discovered I already had one.
That's okay! You can still return the new unit within 60 days of your order for a full refund of the hardware. Simply notify our support team of the error and we'll give you the necessary information to ship it back to us. Once it's received, we'll issue a credit to your account. If you've already opened the new unit, please be sure to return all of the items it came with to insure that you receive the full refund. Any items not returned will be deducted from your refund amount.
*Production files delivered as part of this order are not refundable.
Due to the nature of digital assets, production files of any sort cannot be returned once an attempt to deliver the file has been made. If at any time you are dissatisfied with our service, you should contact our support team immediately and we will do our best to resolve your issue.
3What sort of warranty is offered on hardware?
We currently warranty our hardware for a total of 3 years from the purchase date. If at any time you experience a malfunction in our hardware not due to an outside cause, simply contact our support team to request a replacement. We can also repair units that have fallen out of warranty for a small fee. Contact our support team with a description of your issue and we'll determine the best course of action. | Need help ?

1)-Give full "sudo" permissions to current user.
4)-Install "System Libraries" from CT Setup script.
5)-Build ALL FPC and Typhon IDE.
Last edit: 3 years 5 months ago by Sternas Stefanos.
I had recently updated from 11.2 to 11.3 and decided to install CT 6.00 but I'm having the same problem than with the prior versions I tried. For some reason, the installation script is unable to build the Big IDE and only builds the small one.

I think I followed all the steps described in the wiki to build CT. Is this related with pl_GLScene? How can I compile CT without an specific library or component? i.e: Imagine I want to build Big IDE without pl_Orca.

Yes, I installed the system libraries with the '0' menu option. I didn't get any error message at this point.
Under Linux/BSD I've been able to compile GTK2/QT4 and QT5 versions for the IDE (small and big) without problems.
Nvidia GT210 (using legacy drivers, package locked to prevent further upgrades), 3 screens, xinerama.
System fully up to date.
If you need more concrete info please let me know.
the problem (I think) is from libGL.so library.
PS : Do you use VM ?

... no clue on how to fix this. Any advice is wellcomed.
libGL.so is provided by the system or it belongs to the nVidia driver?
I run Solaris in a local real machine, not a VM. Maybe I shall try a fresh Solaris 11.3 installation in a virtual machine and see if I can compile CT?
By the way, it is possible for PilotLogic to create a binary distro of CT+IDE ready to run for each platform, may I ask?
Ok, I am going to try it later and post the results.
I would also like - now that I have the chance - to thank PilotLogic and it's community for their efforts on creating such a really great development tool, I really love it. I am a former Lazarus user.

I had recently updated from 11.2 to 11.3 and decided to install CT 6.00 but I 'm having the same problem than with the prior versions I tried . For some reason , the installation script is unable to build the Big IDE and only builds the small one .

I think I followed all the steps described in the wiki to build CT . Is this related with pl_GLScene ? How can I compile CT without an specific library or component ? i.e : Imagine I want to build Big IDE without pl_Orca .

We purchased an old home in South Tampa, built in 1941, with known lead-based paint involving much of the structure.

OTTAWA—The media’s ability to shield their sources, notes and reporting materials from police “fishing expeditions” could be strengthened after a senior federal Crown attorney made several concessions in a high-profile media case Wednesday at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Vice Media is fighting the RCMP’s effort to seize reporter Ben Makuch’s 2014 texts and communications with Farah Shirdon, a self-declared Canadian ISIS fighter.
Although Shirdon is reported to be dead, the Crown and the RCMP have not given up the pursuit of Vice Media materials, and federal lawyer Croft Michaelson hammered the fact Shirdon could still be alive, could still return to Canada, and the public interest in prosecuting him remains high.
He urged the Supreme Court judges not to grant journalists any greater privacy protection against police searches than the state grants anyone involved in a criminal investigation.
“The newsroom should not be entitled to any more protection than that most sensitive part of human society, the bedroom,” he said.
However Michaelson conceded the common law could be “tweaked” to underline the importance of a journalist’s right to privacy and the right to free expression in a democratic society, and to set out clearer instructions for judges reviewing seizure orders.
It was a significant move that sets the stage for the Supreme Court of Canada under its new chief justice, Richard Wagner, and an almost entirely re-cast judicial bench to revisit earlier decisions, and Vice Media’s lawyer Phil Tunley was quick to invite the court to do so.
Tunley called the RCMP’s application for a production order against Vice a “fishing expedition,” saying the chances of prosecution are remote. Makuch, the reporter who communicated with Shirdon over a Kik text messaging app and wrote three articles in 2014 on the Canadian, agreed and went further. He believes Shirdon is dead, and the RCMP is simply trying to expand its reach in a digital age.
The case drew a slew of black-robed lawyers for various media organizations who were supportive intervenors. Tunley argued that even a new federal law that requires prior notice to media of police applications for production orders, and sets out other protections for “confidential” sources, doesn’t go far enough because it doesn’t protect communications with “non-confidential” sources.
Vice says Shirdon never asked for nor was granted confidentiality or anonymity by its reporter, and that the reporter’s work materials should remain off limits to the police.
Michaelson said Canada already has a robust legal framework that sets out a case-by-case analysis which requires courts to weigh the public interest in investigation and prosecution of criminal offences against the public interest in a vibrant free press.
However, several judges challenged whether that was enough or whether additional steps — like advance notice to the media in the first instance when police seek a warrant; or when an appeal judge reviews a warrant or production order — are required to really protect the right.
Justices Rosalie Abella and Brown asked Michaelson what exactly he believes the Charter protects. He replied the constitutional freedom of expression guarantee expressly protects “freedom of the press” including a right to gather and disseminate information. He conceded that certain protections should be extended not just to “confidential” sources but also to the private, “off the record” or “not for attribution” communications between reporters and their sources who agree to be named.
Michaelson, a senior Crown attorney who has long prosecuted high-profile criminal and terrorism cases, admitted he occasionally speaks to reporters but only on condition his remarks not be attributed.
He suggested the Supreme Court of Canada might want to “tweak the test” in the common law to capture the public interest in freedom of expression, even as he argued it is already recognized.
Abella pressed Michaelson whether it would be “helpful” if the court outlined specific considerations for appeal courts to use when reviewing a lower court order, rather than sticking to what the current “deferential” model of review that leans toward upholding the authorizing judge’s take.
“Why not?” said Michaelson. “I mean other courts have, so if you’re inclined to do so, why not to make it clearer” that the standard of review in cases where journalists’s rights are involved “is a modified standard that must reflect” the principles he said the high court has already recognized.
Lawyer Paul Schabas representing a dozen international media organizations called on the Supreme Court to set out a new, clearer test in law as other countries have.
Another media lawyer, Justin Safayeni said on top of concerns about a “chilling effect” on sources, or self-censorship by reporters, there could be a real impact on public confidence in the impartiality and independence of the media if reporters are turned into an investigative arm of the police. He argued all of a journalists’ “work product” — notes, source contact lists, and recordings of interviews — should be protected. | OTTAWA — The media ’s ability to shield their sources , notes and reporting materials from police “ fishing expeditions ” could be strengthened after a senior federal Crown attorney made several concessions in a high - profile media case Wednesday at the Supreme Court of Canada .

There are no longer many who knew David, the 94 year old who had just died. For many years, he had lived in another town. It was mainly the members of the Hevra Kaddisha, the Burial Society, who awaited him and his family at the cemetery as they made the long trip back home to where David had grown up with seven siblings.
The hearse arrived followed by a large procession of family. With a simple burial, David would be back with three generations of his family. We walked slowly from the cemetery gates to the grave—family pallbearers handing off the honor to the Hevra Kaddisha after we had halted seven times along the way. The Hevra Kaddisha bent to the task of lowering the coffin, but no maneuvering could compensate for the narrow grave.
Elijah the prophet reminds us that in the cemetery, Paradise is only a step away. In cemetery terms, the grave was not big enough. In Paradise terms, before us was a life that could not be contained by this grave.
We entrusted David to the care of the Hevra Kaddisha and we proceeded to visit family graves of three generations. With each stop, we brought new stories to life: The location of Mama’s grave proclaimed her prominent role in the Hevra Kaddisha. Papa had died on her birthday—a forgotten drama restored by a close reading of grave stones.
Not far away from Papa’s grave was the grave of David’s grandfather, Jack. This gravestone offered another treasure, this one from the ancient family album. Jack’s Hebrew name, Ya’akov, was spelled with a vav carrying the weight of the “o” vowel instead of the accepted, leaner spelling in which the vowel is only implied. In cemetery terms, his name was misspelled—there was one character too many. But in Paradise terms, the stone has an enriching character.
An ancient teacher observed that the name Ya’akov appears with the vav five times in the Bible. Just so, the name Eliahu, is spelled only five times in the Bible without a vav—not Eliahu, but Eliyah, the prophet Elijah. There is an ecology of sacred letters. A letter missing from here must turn up there—and with a purpose. Whether referring to our biblical grandfather or David’s grandfather, the name Ya’akov-With-A-Vav carries a bit of Eliahu, the prophet and imparts the fragrance of a future beyond the cemetery in which all stories and the lives that carried them live and prosper.
Now, we returned our attention to the grave too narrow and the life too big. A lithe, powerful grave digger was finishing his work. His pick arced around a focused face that betrayed neither age nor fatigue. When he stopped, members of the Hevra Kaddisha reached their hands towards him and pulled him out of the grave—a Paradise moment brought to life in the cemetery. The grave digger stood nearby, breathing easily and watching as the Hevra Kaddisha lowered David’s coffin.
Now, the grave digger raised his hand to the family and said: “I offer the family my condolences. I hope that the delay did not disturb you and that you take the best of him away with you.” Then, he turned and walked off.
I had thought about asking the grave digger his name. But I did not do it because Elijah often prefers disguises.

This is truly beautiful. Let me add some details as a member of the local Chevra Kadisha who took part in the burial described in this story. The graves in our cemetery are dug into red clay whose density makes the job especially demanding. Nevertheless they are always dug big enough to accommodate the plain pine caskets we use. This time the casket came from out of town, and when we saw it in the arriving hearse there was immediate concern about its unusual breadth and length. But the ceremony had begun, so we gave it a go. When the casket could not pass through the lip of the grave we moved it to the side and tried on our own to enlarge the hole with our burial spades. Rabbi Sager did what he does so naturally and so uniquely well–he started reflecting about this (totally unanticipated) moment we were sharing, profoundly reframing it and instantly putting everyone at ease. As the Rabbi guided the family on a visit to the graves of other family members nearby, we determined that the grave required significant expansion, and fetched the cemetery employee who had dug the hole and was waiting nearby. It took him a while and a lot of hard effort, and as he was finishing up the Rabbi and family reassembled at the graveside and waited to resume the burial. We lowered the casket without further mishap, the gravedigger spoke his eloquent words, the prayers were completed, and Rabbi Sager shared the inspirations described above, which opened our eyes and hearts to the extraordinary lessons to be taken from this experience.
It was a burial I doubt any of us will ever forget.
This “conversation” is very comforting. I aways find great peace when visiting gravesites of my parents and ancestors. It gives one time to reflect with purpose and open oneself to circumstances which at the time seemed ordinary, but upon reconsideration were very special.

"Natural and artificial light counteract, harmonize, and balance"
Walk and wander. Hope and doubt. For a while. And again. I search for the unexpected connection between the environment man has built, and that which exists despite his presence.
Approaching each space, where the nature and the urban mix, is a strong physical experience. My mind focuses. My eyes catalogue the scene in front of me, while the buzz of the city fades.
The chance or luck which has led me to the image, now gives way to a methodic process. The scene dictates my vocabulary.
Natural and artificial light counteract, harmonize, balance and produce the desired atmosphere. I can't create an image. I only recognize it. It's there in front of me. It is given or not.

CommonBond workspace in its Soho office.
Our onboarding is another benefit. It is pretty extensive. We put MBAs through new hire onboarding just like a full-time employee. So they do rotations with every part of the leadership team so they understand what every department does and how CommonBond works as a whole. That’s something a lot of interns in a company don’t get exposure to because they are just working, for example, in one department. Here at CommonBond, we put our energy into how the company is structured so they are exposed to the whole businesses.
For full-time employees at CommonBond, we pay a significant portion of health and medical benefits; typically, we go above and beyond. Currently, everyone at CommonBond has equity ownership – so we want people who want not just to receive a paycheck, but people who want to benefit from the future growth of CommonBond. Second, we have unlimited vacation. We allow people to take the time off they need to reset. We have very generous primary and secondary leave – also known as paid maternity and paternity leave. We think it is incredibly important for people to take the time off with their growing family. We offer 12 paid leave weeks for primary care givers (and this covers adoptions as well) and four weeks paid leave for secondary care givers.
We have lots of different wellness benefits. We offer gym memberships, yoga, and benefits like in-house massages. We also practice what we preach and offer student loan reimbursement. For every month you’re here, we provide a certain amount of money towards your student loan to help relieve your burden since that is the whole reason that CommonBond started. Since we have an enterprise function that sells into other businesses, we actually created what we call a ‘401K for Student Loans,’ which creates a platform for other companies to have that kind of reimbursement. We do that internally as well.
We also have catered food twice a week and monthly happy hours. We are a mission-based company – that’s what we’re based off of – and believe in giving back to the community, so we have paid time off to simply volunteer. We also sponsor women’s and LGBTQ focus groups and spend a lot of time focusing on those diversity initiatives.
P&Q: If an MBA was weighing an offer from CommonBond and another firm, what would give you the edge?
KK: Along with everything we discussed, we have a very unique set of full-time benefits.
MBAs are often taking summer internships to learn a new skill – that’s why they’re going to school. At CommonBond, we strive to create a culture of learning and discovery. Most MBAs go back to school to learn something new and expand their network. We provide that experience for them. We’re also very, very transparent in our interview process about what to expect with CommonBond because we don’t want there to be any surprises. Our strengths are our genuine nature; people tend to like us in the interview process. Being so transparent gives us the edge in making the decision to come to CommonBond.
P&Q: Every industry comes with its stereotypes. When it comes to CommonBond – and your industry as a whole – what are some of the biggest misconceptions that students may have?
Being a FinTech company, especially in student loans, I think the biggest misconception is that the only way you’ll get hired full-time as an MBA is if you have finance, FinTech, or student loan experience. We want to bring all the right people into CommonBond to build out our team. I think it is definitely a misconception that it is difficult to get an internship if you don’t have that specific background.
P&Q: What are your expectations for entry level MBAs? What are your most successful new hires doing to hit the ground running and quickly add value?
KK: CommonBond evaluates strong performance and contribution across attitude, ownership and results. In terms of attitude, it is someone who can deal with ambiguity. It is looking around and learning about the process of what is being done, whether it is the business around them or what they are doing. They are not afraid to learn a get to know people. People who have a really strong attitude, in a positive way, who want to work well with others and collaborate are incredibly successful here especially when they are first starting.
The second piece is ownership. They aren’t afraid to take something on. Whether they have seen it done before or not, they’re not afraid to take on that ownership – and they’re not afraid to ask for help, either. We hire people at CommonBond who want to help others. If they have the strong attitude, want the ownership, and like the accountability, we’ll see it in the results. Those people who have those three values are super successful and will have great careers at CommonBond.
As an example, I would go back to Dave Carter, the intern from NYU. In his internship – and to this day – he was able to demonstrate a strong, confident, can-do attitude. Not only for himself, but he was able to bring other people up too. He is a huge culture carrier and someone who is going to be the future of CommonBond. He didn’t have any experience in partnerships and sales, but he built out a function. Turns out, people without specific sales experience can do amazing things. He hired his boss – and had no issues with it – because he wanted to learn. He has a positive attitude and got through to everyone in the company very quickly. He is the perfect example of ownership. He coaches his team up around him and builds up the team underneath him. He is one to celebrate across the team as well.
P&Q: What excites you personally about working for CommonBond?
KK: There is a sense of real ownership here. I came to CommonBond because I wanted to be part of an organization of trust and accountability and really build up this function. In my role in HR, David Klein, our CEO, is so passionate about people and culture. It is so fun to work with him and collaborate on ideas and carry out those ideas. Meeting David is the reason I came to CommonBond. This is a new industry for me. I was in investment banking, AdTech, and now student loans. CommmonBond has exposed me to a new industry that was very appealing.
The reason why I stay here is that we have a community of really helping each other out, whether that’s pitching in or giving recognition to others. It’s something that I love to be a part of. It’s also important to me that we are a mission-driven company. We don’t just say we are a mission-driven company, but we truly live it every day. We do have a higher calling, which I think is very important.
Just today, we were named the Most Innovative Company in Education by Fast Company. I can tell you that the innovation here, whether you’re talking about contributing to our capital markets team, our business development team, tech team, or another group, we always stive to be best in class. We do a lot with a little here and it’s exciting to be part of the organization here.
One of the exciting parts of being at CommonBond is that I get to meet the customers. Obviously, student loans isn’t something that’s nice for them. Still, they go on-and-on about how wonderful our customer service is. We keep customers as the center of everything. That’s what sets up apart and why I love CommonBond.
P&Q: Anything you’d like to add?
KK: I’ll add two things. First we have an annual MBA summer series. It takes place 6-8 weeks over the course of the summer. It is for MBA students to take a look at different career paths. It is an in-person career series here in New York, but it also streams online. That’s something that has been very successful. Even if you’re not an intern or full-time hire at CommonBond, we still provide a ton of resources, tools and events for MBAs to develop your own career strategy.
Second, CommonBond was started by MBA students. It was started by Wharton students who were frustrated and challenged by the loan process. Our CEO, David Klein, actually dropped out of Wharton to start the company. We understand, first-hand, what it is like to be MBA students and we understand the mindset. Even if we don’t have an MBA, we work with tons of MBAs. So there is a huge support system here and culturally we share a lot of similarities with MBAs. | CommonBond workspace in its Soho office .
