It's a funny thing, regret. Personally I try to live my life without it. Not that I don't have any, of course I do (Boy could I tell you some stories!), but I try to live my life without dwelling on them. I don't see the point. We live, we learn, we move on.
That said, I do have a few regrets about my time in France; some big (like having a gaping four year gap in my career... this is what keeps me awake at night) and lots little. The little stuff is basically made up of things that I wish I had gone out and done and seen, but I always thought I had more time. That's the thing about being my type of expat (as in an expat married to a local, type), I was here, like here-here. I wasn't on a work assignment or a visa for a definite window of time, I lived here, indefinitely, and for all I knew I could have been here for the rest of my life, so there was always 'later' or 'the next long weekend'.
For instance, I haven't been to Versailles. Ver-freaking-sailles! Four years in France and I haven't seen the Hall of Mirrors or those legendary whirly, twirly gardens. That's definitely on the list for a future visit. I've never been to Bordeaux or Champagne either. Me never being to those two places is like a nun having never been to church.
I've always wanted to see ASM Clermont play a match at home. I've seen them play against Toulon in Marseille before but I'm sure that's nothing compared to watching them run out onto the pitch at Stade Marcel-Michelin, cheered on by the massive Yellow Army. I'm sad I've missed out on that.
I've never been to Barcelona. I'm sure a bunch of you are thinking, "wrong country", but Barcelona is only a five hour drive from The LPV... it's closer than going to French Maman's house. And Geneva, Switzerland is only four hours away, Pisa, Italy only six... AARRGGHH! I should really stop doing this to myself; squirting lemon juice in a paper cut would be less painful.
So sure, I missed out on loads, but what I didn't miss out on was life. I've lived everyday life in Le Petit Village... I've made friends with my postman, boulanger and boucher. The barman always greets me with a kiss (of course he does) and the lady in the épicerie can finally understand my accent. Maybe I can't cross off cities on my bucketlist, but I can cross off 'being a French girl in a French village' and that's pretty darn special.
Boo, I totally commented on your last post too, but they aren't showing up for some reason. To summarise: I think that's a problem common to all expats, except perhaps if you really have a short fixed term stay. But as you say, you're getting a much richer & more authentic experience at least!
Oh, I feel your pain, Sarah! After two years in the Netherlands and having seen A LOT I also regret not having made to some places that I will probably never see during a holiday (like the Frisian Islands), but that's life I guess. I did and see as much as I could but free time and extra money aren't unlimited resources.
Ah, I totally understand! It is so hard to do it all and still have a life - but at the end of your days I don't think that not seeing the leaning tower is going to keep you up at night, instead you will be full of wonderful memories spent with people not places!
I'm an expert at saying "I'll do that sometime soon", and then never actually getting around to it. I was just saying to someone less than an hour ago how I feel that it's been so so long since I've been anywhere new (or just someplace that wasn't visiting family - mine or my boyfriend's). I'm getting the itch.
I went to Versailles as part of an organized trip back in 2005. All I really wanted to see was the Hall of Mirrors, and it was CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS! I was so upset. And yet, I've been in France for almost 7 years now and still haven't made it back. It doesn't help that I also really hate crowds.
And I hear you on the gaps in the CV thing. Scares the hell out of me. It's pretty much the only thing keeping me in my Masters from hell program. If I drop out, I don't know how I'd explain the two years and not finishing it thing.
I understand exactly what you are saying but you will be back some time and you will have Versailles etc to look forward to. I remember my year in France which had an end date and I tried to pack everything in but the important part was making friends, speaking French and just living in France.
'We live, we learn, we move on' - I really like that - must remember that one!
I feel ya. No matter how much you do, you'll never have done everything!
Best of luck on getting everything together for your move!
All those are just places that will be there. You are so right, you lived life as a French girl in a French village - that's way more special than taking a cheesy photo holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
it's so hard to do it all! I lived in London for nearly a year so it was good in a sense because it forced me to do some things because I was on a timeline. but I also wish I had stayed even longer and been able to soak up the local stuff. now you have plans for future visits!
Sometimes it's better knowing you have a timescale, just like jackie jade says, but then what you have had is priceless and the stories are so much more than a fleeting visit in the hall of mirrors. Plus, as we always say, you've got to leave some things for the next time otherwise what will you do when you come back.
I have the same attitude and I hope when we leave la semi-grande ville I will be able to do the same!
I totally get the regret thing. . I regret many things that we/I did not do, see or experience in the years we lived in Argentina .. but those pale in the regrets one might have when faced with loss.
So my thoughts on regret these days are to remember it every day .. remind yourself to make this day one that you will have no regrets about.
Hi! Sorry, but I did not understand what you said about Barcelona: "I'm sure a bunch of you are thinking, "wrong country"-----What did you mean?
I just meant that it's not in France. A lot of people probably might not realize how close Barcelona and Spain actually is to me here in Le Petit Village - it's closer than Paris!
Yes, being there and experiencing all those things was more important. There are lots of things I didn't see when I lived in England for several years so I understand. I've realized that even on vacation, I'd rather get a feel for the place and the people than check tourist spots off a list. And remember that you'll be back.
So special! I'm not sure whether I like being on a time scale or not. It does force me to get out and see things, but I hardly ever feel relaxed!
I guess you always have to miss out on some things. But there really is nothing to feel sorry about. And I mean, you can still visit Barcelona at some point. Or do other things you did not find the time for yet. You rock, so don't worry about anything.
This post made me sad. And then it made me happy. And now I'm sitting here feeling all nostalgic and wanting to go back to Europe. There is always something that we end up missing, but the nice thing is that now you just have excuses to come back!
P.S. If you get museum overload at all, then you definitely will at Versailles. It's impossible to really see it all as it is just massive and overwhelming. Still worth a visit, though.
Holy cow, this is what I get for taking a hiatus from blogs. Your moving. I've got to back track to catch up. Good luck with the move. And I agree, I look back at my five yrs in Beijing and four years in Indonesia and realize there places I didn't visit, but I lived the local life, made local friendships, and thats priceless!
Very inspiring post! Have a wonderful weekend!
Like lots of people have said, your time becoming "French" was probably more priceless and adventurous than visiting tourist sites...and if you HAD done those things there would always be another thing to wish you had done. No, you spent time with your friends, with your lovely hubby, your French family, making links that can't be broken: if you'd been away every weekend cramming "visiting places" into your life you would have missed out on the "living" and the "being". Which is what you can never get from being on holiday in a place.
Versailles: forget it! The last several times I attempted to see the palace there were 50 Chinese busloads of tourists in front of me.
Don't worry about the gap in your career. Add it to your resume as "immersed yourself in the French culture, learning the language and gaining an understanding of ..."
I totally get that - it isn't til I have visitors here in Canada that I see more of it and remember how cool it is!
You'll probably see more as a visitor than you even did as a resident. It's just the way it seems to work!
Love this post and your advice about dropping regret - we live, we learn and we move on. Beautifully said. The Piaf clip is priceless, btw.
I can't even comment on this because I have so many happy/sad thoughts so I just shared the link on Twitter. I hope that's okay.
I hope you enjoy and savor these last few days in the LPV!! | 2019-04-19T20:34:40Z | http://www.cestmoisaralouise.com/2014/02/non-je-ne-regrette-rien.html |

The other day I blogged about Camp NaNoWriMo, and how my novel goals fared in April. One of the reasons why I'm not too disappointed in how Camp went is because I also managed to keep up on the rest of my goals for 2014 fairly well throughout the month. There were a few hiccups, to be sure, especially as I had some personal things going on in April, but all in all I didn't do too badly.
read a classic every month.
Obviously, the focus of April was the first of those goals, as my NaNo '13 novel was what I was working on in April. I'm not finished yet, but hopefully I will be before the July session of Camp NaNoWriMo. I intend to work on the second of those goals, finishing the revisions on Ruby Ransome, in July.
I didn't read any classics in April, but I'm all right with that because the larger focus was on Camp NaNo. I will pick one for May, though.
I am pleased to say that I've been good about keeping up on my blogs. I have missed days, especially when my personal life blew up about the third week of April, but on the days I do blog, I usually write more than one post to make up for it. I've been thinking of increasing my daily output goal to two posts, even, although I don't know if I'll aim for that every day.
Additionally, I started a new blog, so I've been working on the design. This reminded me that one of my goals for the year was to overhaul several of my existing blogs, so I might pick another one to work on once I'm done tinkering with the new blog.
All in all, not bad for a month that was entirely devoted almost solely to the first of those goals! | 2019-04-25T08:10:57Z | http://blog.katharineswan.com/2014/05/non-nanowrimo-goals-in-april.html |
On May 10, Phase I of Syracuse University’s new Reach for Information, Strive for Excellence (SUnRISE) financial systems project went live, with select purchasing and payables, general ledger, and sponsored accounting reports becoming accessible via a new Web enterprise portal called MySlice. The MySlice portal will, in the future, provide a common access point to all University-wide administrative systems.
Phase I of the project also includes a redesign of the chart of accounts (COA). A project team has been developing the new COA and contacting budget managers across campus to discuss the changes. The majority of the contacts occurred by the end of May and the new COA will be used for the first time in the Fiscal Year 2006-07 budget process, with the new PeopleSoft Financials system. This system will replace the mainframe general ledger system and related financial systems in July 2005 as part of the project’s second phase.
Existing financial reports will remain available until their eventual removal and replacement by new reports based on the new COA. The Computing and Media Services (CMS) Data Warehouse Group and the SUnRISE Training and Communications Team will announce specifics regarding this phased removal at a later date.
In order to access and use the Web-based reports, financial reporting users need to attend two lecture-and-demonstration training courses provided by the SUnRISE Project Team and CMS. Optional hands-on sessions, which provide users with the opportunity to walk through the new system with assistance from SUnRISE experts, are also being offered. The training consists of two core components: Introduction to the Web portal and introduction to Web-based financial reports. The training has been underway since April and will continue over the coming months.
The Training and Communications Team is sending training invitations to targeted financial services users, employing a targeted training approach to match course content with end-user interest, skill and needs. Spring Training, held in April and May, was targeted toward high access and high frequency users. Summer Camp, scheduled for June-August, is targeted toward medium to low frequency users. Back to School Basics, scheduled for September-December, will accommodate all skill sets and is targeted toward new personnel and those employees who would like a refresher course.
Further announcements about training and the future of the SUnRISE project will be made by the Training and Communications Team.

New research reveals that brain damage affecting the insula – an area with a key role in emotions – disrupts errors of thinking linked to gambling addiction.
Based on these results, we believe that the insula could be hyperactive in problem gamblers, making them more susceptible to errors of thinking.
The research, led by Dr Luke Clark from the University of Cambridge, was published on April 7 2014 in the journal PNAS.
During gambling games, people often misperceive their chances of winning due to a number of errors of thinking called cognitive distortions. For example, ‘near-misses’ seem to encourage further play, even though they are no different from any other loss. In a random sequence like tossing a coin, a run of one event (heads) makes people think the other outcome (tails) is due next; this is known as the ‘gambler’s fallacy’.
There is increasing evidence that problem gamblers are particularly prone to these erroneous beliefs. In this study, the researchers examined the neurological basis of these beliefs in patients with injuries to different parts of the brain.
“While neuroimaging studies can tell us a great deal about the brain’s response to complex events, it’s only by studying patients with brain injury that we can see if a brain region is actually needed to perform a given task,” said Dr Clark.
For the study, the researchers gave patients with injuries to specific parts of the brain (the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, or the insula) two different gambling tasks: a slot machine game that delivered wins and ‘near-misses’ (like a cherry one position from the jackpot line), and a roulette game involving red or black predictions, to elicit the gambler’s fallacy. For the control groups, they also had patients with injuries to other parts of the brain as well as healthy participants undergo the gambling tasks.
All of the groups with the exception of the patients with insula damage reported a heightened motivation to play following near-misses in the slot machine game, and also fell prey to the gambler’s fallacy in the roulette game.
Gambling is a widespread activity: 73% of people in the UK report some gambling involvement in the past year* and around 50% play games other than the National Lottery. For a small proportion of players (around 1-5%), their gambling becomes excessive, resulting in features seen in addiction. Problem gambling is associated with both debt and family difficulties as well as other mental health problems like depression. | 2019-04-22T08:09:49Z | https://www.bcni.psychol.cam.ac.uk/news/new-research-reveals-that-brain-damage-affecting-the-insula-2013-an-area-with-a-key-role-in-emotions-2013-disrupts-errors-of-thinking-linked-to-gambling-addiction |

I traced the photo to SA-Kuva, a Finnish wartime photograph archive. It is clearly a genuine Finnish wartime photograph taken in 1942.
According to various background stories, a Soviet patrol that was cut out of food supplies had butchered a few members of their own patrol group, and had eaten most of them. Finnish platoon had surprised the Soviet patrol “in the middle of cooking”.
Aamulehti published a related story in 2016. They interviewed Olli Kleemola who has published books about Finnish war photographs. In this interview Mr. Kleemola casts a shadow of doubt: the skin is probably from a moose.
The pictures in these pages depict the skin, head and internal organs of a Russian patrolman, shot by his own. Reporter Reino Ikävalo has interviewed a Finnish veteran about this series of images and the related events. A Finnish patrol had surprised the Soviets in the middle of cooking. The veteran interviewed by Ikävalko had interrogated one of the members of the patrol, Ensign Anttila – a Finnish communist, who had in 1932 defected from Finland into the Soviet Union. Anttila told that the objective of his patrol was to monitor the traffic on the roads of Paatane-Porajärvi and Karhumäki-Porajärvi. The Finns had quickly detected the remote patrol, and in the ensuing combat two of the originally six-person group fell. The group also lost their radio and had to hide in the Finn’s rear for two months. At this stage, the patrol consisted of two privates of Ukrainian origin as well as Ensign Anttila and a radio operator, Finnish-born private Savander, who moved with his family from Canada to the Soviet Union before the war.
After one of the Ukrainians had broken his leg, Anttila shot him and the remaining patrol ate him. After their food supplies once again ran out, the remaining patrol decided to attempt to reach their side on the other side of Lake Seesjärvi. However, Lake Seesjärvi was not frozen and the journey of the group ended on the beach, where Anttila then shot the other Ukrainian.
The Finns alarmed by the shot, surprised Savander and Anttila while they were cooking a flayed and mutilated body. In the interrogation Anttila praised the flavor of the meat as especially good. The picture of the body parts was taken by a corporal from Turku, a member of battalion II/Infantry Regiment 60, who had been commanded alongside with two privates to bury the remains of the body. Before the burial the flayed skin of the eaten soldier was spread open and the other remains were put on a field stretcher for photography.
The images had been taken without permission, as the photography permit granted to Finnish soldiers, alongside executions and dead bodies also prohibited the depiction of “unconventional subjects”. The corporal from Turku, after arriving on holiday, manufactured dozens of copies of the photographs, which he then traded with his comrades at least in Turku, Helsinki, Äänislinna and Karhumäki in exchange of liquor, tobacco and money.
The pictures taken by the corporal spread among Finnish war photography albums as well as outside the Finnish border. In the November of 1942 a so called “Special commission” was found in the Soviet Union, the mission of which was to collect material for the upcoming war crimes trial. Such material was, among other things, photographs collected from fallen and imprisoned opponents. Among the photographs were several pictures that were a part of the cannibalism series of images. Two of these pictures, which apparently ended up in Moscow via Stockholm and Geneva, were published in the soviet propaganda magazine called the “Sotilaan Ääni”. In the magazine’s text it was stated that this is the way how Finns treat Russian prisoners of war.
The story of Ensign Anttila doesn’t make much sense. The Finnish patrol were after them and they still decided to shoot, skin and cook one of their own.
I contacted Mr. Kleemola and bought his book Valokuva Sodassa (Photo in war). Some cases of wartime cannibalism have been recorded and photographed. However, this wide-spread photo in question most likely shows a skin of a moose. It is most likely an example of wartime propaganda.
Hi. So are you saying the skin of the moose was brought to place by photographers themselves. or are you saying the Soviet patrolmen had time to hunt and skin a moose? (And also to shave it, since the skin does not seem to have any hair).
The other photo in the series according to caption shows the victim’s head, ankles, pelvis and hands separated from the body (Same tree in the picture).
The rest of the body is missing somewhere, and to me it seems likely the skin is in fact, human skin hanging on the tree and the second tree has the victim’s guts hanging.
1. It’s not too difficult to think if someone was to skin a human being for food, he would use the same technique as with a moose or other prey and not think too much of the skin’s nutritional value, as they would have all the meat to eat.
2. Skinning would also make the meat look more animal-like and therefore mentally easier to eat.
3. Any moose skin found by googling does not resemble the skin hung on the picture either.
If the skin in the tree was furry on the other side, I would think it would not be that flexible, and the fur would show in the held up arm and end of right leg.
5. The hands and legs sizes on the skin would match human better too.
6.Only point Mr. Kleemola says in the Aamulehti interview, is that the Soviet troops would have been in too much of hurry to skin a man. Who knows the priorities of starving soldiers or if they knew they were being chased actively? In a war, with all the killing happening, killing someone for food when starving is not necessarily a far fetched idea. According to hunting forums, people are able to skin a deer in 20 minutes and deboning takes more time if you want to save the most meat, which I guess wasn’t the case here.
8.The photographer apparently did make many copies for selling them for tobacco and liquor, but the rest of the human remains in the picture speak against a staged scene. The rest of the body is somewhere. I don’t see it very likely that alleged forger would go through the trouble of cutting bodies to pieces and hanging fake human skin and some guts on the trees.
Of course Mr Kleemola as war historian is way more certified in these cases, but I would like to hear his opinion about the made points as he is claiming the skin to be of a moose.
I am of course willing to change my opinion if further evidence emerges about this case.
Hi and many thanks for your comment. I’ve also asked Mr. Kleemola to read the post and your comment.
The photo showing the head and other body parts is “staged”: meaning the other remains were put on a field stretcher for photography. This was mentioned in the original articles.
I had doubts about the “skin photo” before I read Mr. Kleemola’s interview. It is likely we will never find out the actual facts so only thing left is to use logic and common sense. I’m not saying you didn’t: on the contrary, you raised some good points. My original doubts were based on the following 1) I couldn’t find any photos showing (flayed) human skin. Is it plausible that the only photo of such event exists in Finnish archives? 2) The two related pictures in SA-kuva are mislabeled (different locations) 3) I could find photos of animal hides e.g. https://www.wildernessawareness.org/articles/brain-tanning-deer-hide or http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=hunting.tanhide – they look similar.
After reading your comment I started to think about alternatives. What if the “skin” is actually a tarp, piece of clothing, tent etc.? This is of course speculation. But the story of Ensign Anttila still doesn’t make much sense to me.
I have seen other cannibalism related war photos e.g. in Kleemola’s books. They are horrible, but none of them includes skinned persons. I have also tried to find references of other cases where the skin of the person have been removed in connection with cannibalism. No results. Serial killer Ed Gein did remove skin of some of their victims, but not the whole skin.
1) The act of cannibalism itself indeed DID happen. 2)As Hannu notes above, this leads to the fact that the skin must be somewhere.
If we consider these facts to be true, then why should the photograph show anything else but a human skin? Again, as Hannu notes above, the skin size and form suits well to be a human skin. It is, therefore, possible, that it actually is one and the stories about a moose skin, tent etc, are nothing but legends. Maybe these legends have been created by the war veterans themselves, to protect their minds. This could be because the act of spreading a human skin to be photographed is something even a soldier does not have to do every day. It is just discussing! As Mr. Ville Kivimäki has proven in his research, the soldiers developed a sort of a code language when speaking about killing. This was, again, to protect their minds. The stories about a moose skin may have served the same purpose.
I hope my considerations are of some help for you, gentlemen? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about this.
Many thanks for your response. I agree with that this photo raises questions which most likely can never be answered.
I don’t agree with the “skin must be somewhere”-theory fully. The skin should be in the stomach of the person who ate it. Or on the ground (if the person didn’t want to eat it). Skinning the person still doesn’t make sense to me. Why would they skin someone they wanted to eat? I have seen – also in Olli’s books – horrible photo evidence of cannibalism. No photo shows or discusses removal of skin.
I still have not found any photos showing removed/flayed human skin. Visual reference or comparison would be useful.
Like mentioned earlier, the story of Ensign Anttila remains questionable.
Flaying (see https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-flaying.htm) involves removal of skin. Flaying wasn’t very common but we do know it was difficult. Quote: “Sometimes victims were left in the sun or boiled in hot water first in order to make the skin removal easier.” – Of course I don’t know if there is any difference when the subject is dead. Or if the temperature affects the operation.
>1) The act of cannibalism itself indeed DID happen.
Has this been verified? Meaning the act of cannibalism in question happened around the time when this photo was taken at the same location? | 2019-04-26T11:56:37Z | https://hoaxeye.com/2018/09/30/story-of-a-war-photo/ |
Last weekend, theatre audiences took their imaginations to soaring new heights thanks to the creative minds behind Arts Collective Theatre (ACT). They took six months’ worth of real-life interviews with seniors who were new to Windsor (and Canada) and shared the best of them in a one act play entitled In Flight, which was staged last weekend at The Atelier.
Staged a bit like a murder mystery where the actors were intermingled with the audience, The Atelier was set up to resemble the interior of an Air Canada Jazz flight ACT8868, complete with curtained off first class area and an airport gate waiting area for when you first arrive. Seating was assigned and a stewardess (Eva Kratochvil) greeted and seated passengers on the plane.
The entire presentation was well done, with Kratochvil giving flight preparation speeches, delivering food items and serving passengers as best as she could. It was basically up to her to keep the flight running on time.
Throughout the short flight, audiences were treated to improv presentations from nine actors who took on the roles of the seniors and newcomers making their way to Windsor for the first time. As almost any typical flight would be, the culture was diverse and challenging. We met a pompous English gentleman, a young Syrian refugee, a gay couple and a few others – giving as much diversity as you could trap in one room at one time.
Had this been a flight in 1970, things might have been a bit more hostile, but thankfully this is 2018 and the diversity within the plane was a lot more acceptable – most of the resentment and frustration seemed to dwell within the newcomers themselves and not so much the audience. There were moments when things were a bit tenser, like when Mohamed (Rami Al-Sharak) started to pray before the flight took off or when Edward (Robin Swainson) pretentiously belittled those around him.
The entire production was a learning experience – not only for the audience, but for the actors themselves. One of the things ACT does in its Social Justice project is allow for commentary and questions after the show is over – these frank discussions open a sense of dialog and conversation that wouldn’t happen had the audience just departed after the show was over.
I adore these ACT Social Justice Projects – they are always relevant, poignant and they seem to plant positive vibes when you leave the building. It’s a healthy way to discuss issues that might otherwise be impossible to discuss in the open. In Flight took on prejudice in a bold and honest way without insulting the actors, characters or audience. The most prevalent story here was that of Mohamed. With tens of thousands of Syrians immigrating to Canada in the last couple years, his story helped us understand the challenges he faced heading to Canada and then Windsor to avoid a catastrophic war that left him without a family – he was on the flight alone, looking for someone/anyone to be his friend. Every story told in the play was just as important and relevant as Mohamed’s and they’ve helped make Windsor the diverse city it is.
It was a wonderful way to present a play and inject a social message at the same time and ACT should be commended for creating events like this.
The complete cast, many first-time actors, included Kratochvil, Al-Sharak, Swainson, Gilles Hamel (Gilles), Mike DeGuire (Mike), Karen Roberts (Cecilia), Jordanka and Vanyo Kanova (Dana and Van), Deanne Johnson (Nicole), Albert Sharp (Jonathan) and recorded voiceovers from Raymond Lord (pilot) and Livia Lord (airport terminal voice).
The ACT Social Justice Theatre Project is a series of collaborative workshop to create a one act play. The project’s intention is to make audiences aware, through healthy public dialogue, of social justice issues by providing awareness and education to promote positive change. These are usually productions with important messages to share – like last’s year’s stunning A Girl Like Me, which shook audiences to the core with its cyberbullying message. Past shows have included themes on, LGBTQ, refugee and newcomer barriers and stereotypes, mental health stigmas, and homeless and marginalized youth.
The play was directed by Chris Rabideau and originally conceived and written by Rabideau and Linda Lord. Workshops were held with seniors and newcomers by Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women, Life After 50 and the show was funded by the New Horizons for Seniors Programs Grant.
ACT returns in late April with the Windsor premiere of Dreamgirls, playing at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are on sale now.
I adore these ACT Social Justice Projects – they are always relevant, poignant and they seem to plant positive vibes when you leave the building. It’s a healthy way to discuss issues that might otherwise be impossible to discuss in the open. In Flight took on prejudice in a bold and honest way without insulting the actors, characters or audience. | 2019-04-19T14:44:59Z | https://yqgrocks.com/acts-flight-shows-no-signs-turbulence/ |
Mass Destruction in Kobani|Syria – DOZ e. V.
Kobani has been a story in most regional and international media so far. Whenever they mentioned keywords such as: Siege, ISIS, Displacement, and Destruction… We remember Kobani as one of few cities that were attacked by ISIS or destroyed. Still, Kobani is the only city that ISIS with all its weaponry failed to occupy it. Kobani people proved that they never accept seeing their city taken by ISIS.
ISIS laid a siege to Kobani since more than one and a half year as a strategy to force its people to surrender. As this plan didn’t work, ISIS brought all their armies and attacked Kobani from all sides on 14.Sep.2014. ISIS wanted to change the Kurdish Syrian identity of the city by claiming that its people are infidels and non-believers.
ISIS with their black flags wished to bring fear and terrorize Kobani people so they will give up. But they were faced up not only with the brave Kurdish Forces struggle, but also with courage of Kobani people who never accepted to see a radical extremist organization occupying their city, destroying their culture, and stealing their identity and self-determination.
The people of Kobani witnessed the bitter-taste of mass displacement on Turkish borders, still you coud se the determination that they are ready to lose anything but their dignity and land. They always said, we will go back soon, we will go back. Finally and after the victory against ISIS people proved what they have been always saying on the borders in the time of mass displacement.
From inside Kobani after the victory, Ahmed Shekho (UKSSD Kobani director) with other colleagues are sending a message to the world that Kobani will be rebuilt as it was before the war with ISIS. UKSSD team is willing to rebuilt our destroyed center and start its projects and activities again such as: Child Protection and Youth Development, Education, Women Protection and Empowerment, Civic Awareness Campaigns and Action, Workshops and Seminars, Anti-GMOs and Bio Agriculture activities, NFIs (if possible) and Health Awareness Campaigns and Actions.
From destroyed UKSSD Center in Kobani, where our team found some flowers and brochures were made to be distributed in our annual Peace Campaign (Syria, Peace One day 21.Sep.2014), Flyers about social coherence among Syrian spectra, and some certificates we used to give to pupils and students are still speaking loud and indicating that our work wil never stop. We will always resist and work till we achieve a democratic free modern country that can contain all cultures, languages, and people. We will restart again from Kobani and we will rebuild it again.
UKSSD Kobani team congrats Kobani people and all Syrians for the victory of Kobani against ISIS and promises that our teams in Kobani will start as soon as possible launching education alternative programs for children soon. | 2019-04-22T12:20:20Z | https://www.doz.international/blog/2015/02/17/mass-destruction-in-kobanisyria/ |

Technology and in particular EdTech resources continue to evolve at pace, offering more choice than ever. The challenge is for Colleges to keep abreast of these changes and better understand the added value for teaching and learning experiences and how best to equip staff and students with the most effective digital tools and skills for the future. This pace of change means that the FE sector needs to develop a strategic cross-college approach to ensure the systemic adoption of technology across their operations. AoC and Jisc are joining forces to develop an in-depth leadership event looking at the technology agenda for the FE sector, that will help delegates to review and enhance their technology strategy to ensure that it meets today’s requirements and is sustainable for tomorrow.
We want to ensure the FE sector can thrive in this fast-paced digital world and this event will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from key experts, engagement with excellent networking opportunities and leave with strategic answers for their organisations.
Credit/Debit card payment will be required. | 2019-04-21T08:24:14Z | https://www.aoc-create.co.uk/event/techsummit/ |

The Spectator UI received a number of improvements leading up to the second season of the Overwatch League.
The changes were included in a previous update on December 14 but went unnoticed. Previously, a feature to change the opacity of respawn icons was discovered.
After the discovery of the respawn icons, the Overwatch community kept digging for more changes that were not listed in the official notes.
Redditor XTeKoX found a number of new features that were stealthily added to the Spectator UI, with Season 2 of the Overwatch League less than a month away.
Major changes to the Spectator UI include icons that indicate if a player is suffering from a status effect. If a player is frozen, sleeping or hacked off screen, fans will be able still be able to see by looking at the bar on top. It also shows when a player is using their ultimate ability.
Now you can follow statuses off screen.
Another feature is a new third person camera, called "simple," but there will be an option to toggle it on or off. The updated camera can be seen below.
Finally, a new toggle was added for players to hear character voice lines while in Spectator mode. Now you can choose between advancing your ships or spectating in lore silence.
Overwatch League Season 2 begins in February and while these spectator changes are not confirmed, it is likely Blizzard is working out potential bugs on the PTR before making any official announcements regarding the Spectator. | 2019-04-24T12:33:42Z | https://www.dexerto.com/overwatch/spectator-experience-gets-major-update-ahead-of-overwatch-league-season-2-275578 |
Bernhard Smith (1820-1885), sculptor and painter, was born at Greenwich, London, England, third son of Lord [Christian name] Henry Smith and his wife Jane Mary, née Voase. He joined the Antique School of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1840 and later that year enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first notable sculpture (1838) was a memorial to his sister. After his return to London he wrote 'The World in Miniature' in 1842 but there is no evidence that it was published. By 1851 he had exhibited nineteen works at the Royal Academy, including an oil painting, 'Puck', the inspiration of T. Woolner's statuette. Smith and Woolner shared a studio in Stanhope Street and their circle included Browning, Carlyle, Lamb, Tennyson and Mary and William Howitt. Smith's daughter Minnie later claimed that he was one of the seven original members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; he certainly belonged to it by 1850 when he helped D. G. Rossetti to plan the Germ. Both Woolner and Rossetti acknowledged Smith's influence on them.
Disillusioned with the movement, Smith planned to go to Canada, but instead he and Woolner decided to accompany E. L. Bateman to Melbourne. Their departure in the Windsor in July 1852 inspired Ford Madox Brown's painting, 'The last of England'. Arriving on 23 October, Smith and Woolner set out for the Ovens diggings and then went to Fryer's Creek and Sandhurst. Smith's brother Alexander John (1813?-1872) had become a commissioner of crown lands for the goldfields; on 17 May 1854 Bernhard became assistant commissioner for the Westernport District, with salary of £400 and allowances, and by 1857 was at Ballarat. On 8 February 1858 he became warden of the goldfields and Chinese protector. In 1860 he was transferred to Pleasant Creek (Stawell) as police magistrate, but resigned on 31 March 1861 and joined Alexander, who had taken up Langley Vale station near Kyneton and who won the Legislative Assembly seat of Castlemaine in May. Bernhard became commissioner of crown lands in August and warden for the goldfields of Victoria in September. Interested in astronomy, in the early 1860s he took meteorological observations for R. L. J. Ellery's geodetic survey; he was assisted by his wife Olivia Frances Josephine, née Boyes, whom he had married at St Paul's Church, Melbourne, on 12 February 1863. He was police magistrate and deputy-sheriff at Stawell from 9 October 1865. Along with many other civil servants he was dismissed on Black Wednesday in January 1878 while stationed at Smythesdale, but he was later reinstated and transferred to Alexandra.
Smith had corresponded with his English friends and continued to paint, though he was not interested in Australian subjects; he remained isolated from colonial artistic trends: 'A thorn pierced my foot in 1854', he wrote of his work for the government, 'So among Gum Trees I lived listlessly dreaming; jangling with sweet music, all out of tune'. In 1881 he dislocated his right arm, but continued his work, painting ethereal and heavenly objects in the manner of Blake and Fuseli; a recent art historian has noted that his art and prose are closer to surrealism than any of the other Pre-Raphaelites. Among his commissions were five illustrations of Macbeth and four of Much Ado About Nothing for a music hall. He wrote verse and sketched fairies and birds for his children. He sent for Rossetti's engravings, but in his isolation he feared for his perception; on seeing a picture of Woolner's statue of Captain Cook he commented, 'No, no, no … Gum Trees and Kangaroos may have ruined my taste'.
W. M. Rossetti described Smith as 'six feet (183 cm) broad … with a hearty English look and manner, and a clear resonant voice'. Alfred Howitt thought him rather fussy but 'a useful man of business'. His habits were abstemious: he customarily drank a handful of oatmeal in a jug of cold water and warned his student son in England against the evils of beer that 'bemuddles the clear brains'. Aged 64, he died of pneumonia at Alexandra on 7 October 1885 after trying to rescue two children from a flooded stream. Buried in the Alexandra cemetery, he was survived by his wife, three of their four sons and four of their five daughters; his estate was valued for probate at £1999, including a property at Elgar Park, Box Hill. Two of his portrait medallions, of Sir John Richardson and Sir James Clark Ross, are in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

'Final Fantasy XV' DLC has been cancelled following Hajime Tabata's exit from Square Enix.
The game's director - who played a big part in its release in 2016 - has quit the company to move onto a new project, and it comes after the studio revealed an "extraordinary loss" of just over £25 million.
As reported by Eurogamer, Tabata was given the choice of having his Luminous Productions company becoming one of Square Enix's business divisions - which now seems likely - or taking it off as its own brand with the studio's investment.
However, he has now officially announced his decision to live in a special livestream in which it was confirmed that all but one of the four DLC episodes planned for next year have been axed.
Tabata said: "In regards to my next endeavours and near future, I have a project that I truly wish to solidify as my next challenge after 'Final Fantasy 15'.
"As production of Episode Ardyn continues and Luminous Productions works on new projects, I felt that it was time for me to hand over the torch to the next-generation group of talented and trustworthy colleagues and believe that they will create something amazing." | 2019-04-18T12:36:40Z | https://www.malextra.com/games/final-fantasy-dlc-cancelled-following-hajime-tabata-exit-1171233.html |

With this time of year, so many graduations are upon us and I’m always looking for ideas to create unique and special cards to celebrate. I thought this sentiment from Mama Elephant was absolutely perfect for a special graduate I know! And the flower image from the same set (Butterfly Kisses) is really pretty too.
I used this card as one of my samples for the Chameleon Color Tones Pencils review over at Splitcoaststampers. The pretty coral and green pencils (double sided!) create the perfect shading and no stress over coordination. I stamped the image using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper. I love this particular paper the best with the pencils. It has a smoother feel that a watercolor paper but enough “tooth” to allow light coloring and layering. The key with most colored pencils, it seems, is layering. Lots of layering. And patience! I colored for bit and then moved on to a different section. Eventually I came back to each part and layered some more, and so on. I had never used wax based pencils so I definitely had a learning curve…but not an overwhelming one. Success came quickly and the colors on these just match! A light touch was definitely the key to success. As a background for the image, I used this brand new DSP from Stampin’ Up called Wood Textures DSP. It is a MUST HAVE from the catalog that goes live today. I promise you it will fly off the shelves so take a look and order it quickly!
That’s it for today. If you want to see more about these pencils, please go over to the review (linked above) there are amazing videos from both Lydia Fiedler and Kathy Racoosin….two extraordinary stampers!
Back tomorrow with a collaboration blog hop that I know you don’t want to miss. Hope to see you then! Have a great day! | 2019-04-25T12:48:24Z | https://stampinonthefly.com/tag/chameleon-color-tones-pencils/ |
Here is a nice 1st edition, 1st printing of Grampa in Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson. Published in 1924 by Reilly & Lee, with 12 color plates by John R. Neill. (This is the only early Oz book that didn’t have a color frontispiece as one of the 12 plates). Light brick red cloth wiith nice illustrated endpapers. As called for in Book Collector’s Guide to Baum, the numeral on page 171 is in perfect type; later printings showed type damage.
Book is in good condition, with fading and rubbing to pastedown, and cloth mostly intact with a little fraying at base of spine. Inside, the front hinge has been reglued slightly imperfectly, and the buttons on the endpapers and frontispiece, as well as the Book Belongs To page, have been colored. The rear hinge is in good shape and the book is complete, with all 12 color plates intact and in very good condition. The pages have finger soiling; the worst shown. Overall, an imperfect but decent copy of a desirable Thompson 1st edition. | 2019-04-25T12:20:55Z | https://wonderfulbooksofoz.com/shop/wizard-of-oz-books/grampa-in-oz-book-1st-edn-1st-printing-12-color-plates-ruth-plumly-thompson-reilly-1924/ |
“Hey, Wilder,” I said, hoping to break the ice.
He didn’t call me Doherty, didn’t even look at me.
I couldn’t help but be disappointed. It was the first time I’d seen him since George’s party, since our kiss. And yes, even with all that happened afterward, the kiss was what stood out in my mind, a brilliant spark before all that darkness. I wasn’t sure what I’d thought. I knew he probably hadn’t considered it as earth shattering as I did. But his indifference, his absolute silence, I wasn’t prepared for. Was I supposed to just let it go? Try and talk to him again? In this situation, I wasn’t sure what to do.
His book was open. He was looking down, but he hadn’t turned the page in a while.
I looked at his face. There was nothing to see; he was blank as usual. But his eyes weren’t moving. He was studiously avoiding looking at anything in particular. I ducked trying to catch his gaze, but nothing. A second later a small note landed on our table, right in front of him. Glancing up, I saw the backs of my classmates. Every now and then someone would look back, but I couldn’t tell who’d thrown it. Wilder didn’t move. Cautiously, I unfolded the paper.
There were four words: BURN IN HELL MURDERER.
I balled the paper up in my fist.
Whispers. They were still whispering.
Wilder sat immobile beside me, but his silence suddenly made sense. He thought this was his cross to bear, his battle to fight. He thought he was alone.
At the first touch of my fingers, his head snapped in my direction, but he didn’t pull away. I kept my eyes on his the entire time, as my palm came to rest against his under the table, as I laced our fingers together, gave a gentle squeeze. He didn’t have to feel the same. I just wanted him to know. In this one, he wasn’t alone. There were people who knew the truth, people who believed it wasn’t his fault.
Holding on a moment longer, making sure he got the message, I gave him a small smile and started to take back my hand.
But he caught me. His hand tightened on mine and didn’t let go until the end of the period.
Like an absolute girl, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. How his skin had felt, rough yet reassuring. How his fingers were so much longer. Most of all how he’d stopped me from letting go. That was my favorite part. | 2019-04-25T04:10:15Z | https://www.tsstuff.net/2018/04/the-unbelievable-inconceivable.html |

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Trump administration stepped up sanctions on Venezuela Friday in response to the kidnapping of a top aide for an leader the U.S wants to see replace the embattled — but not yet ousted — President Nicolas Maduro.
The Treasury Department announcement came while the President Donald Trump met with leaders from five nations in the Caribbean that generally support the U.S. call for an end to Maduro’s rule. Trump hosted them at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and pledged U.S. investment in their countries.
The new sanctions, issued in response to the kidnapping, specifically target Venezuela’s national development bank, BANDES, and four additional subsidiaries that BANDES owns or controls.
“The regime’s continued use of kidnapping, torture and murder of Venezuelan citizens will not be tolerated by the U.S. or the international coalition” that is united behind Juan Guaido, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said. He was referring to the opposition leader recognized by more than 50 countries as the legitimate interim leader following a flawed ballot that resulted in Maduro’s re-election.
“We’re not bluffing when we told Maduro not to do stuff like this (the kidnapping),” John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser told Univision News in an interview aired Friday.
The U.S. has already sanctioned scores of top Venezuelan officials and has blocked U.S. banks from doing business with that country, imposing a financial strangle-hold on the cash-strapped nation. The sanctions announced Friday also came as members of Congress from both parties condemned Marrero’s arrest.
“The international community is closely watching Maduro’s actions and will respond accordingly to any that threaten the safety of the opposition and Interim President Juan Guaidó,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas.
Trump hosted the leaders of Jamaica, Bahamas, Haiti, Dominican Republic and St. Lucia to show his support for Caribbean countries that back democratic transition in Venezuela. The five have either denounced Maduro or joined more than 50 countries in recognizing Juan Guaido as the rightful interim leader of the nation.
Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness said that at their meeting with Trump he learned that a representative from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a U.S. government agency that helps American businesses invest in emerging markets, would be visiting the region and the five countries.
The Trump administration considers Maduro’s government a dictatorship and says he was re-elected in an illegitimate election. The U.S. has sanctioned scores of top Venezuelan officials and has blocked U.S. banks from doing business with Venezuela, putting a financial stranglehold on the cash-strapped country. The country is in an economic meltdown and millions of Venezuelans have fled.
St. Lucia Prime Minister Allen Michael Chastanet said it’s been since the Reagan administration that the U.S. has taken an interest in the Caribbean and acknowledged that Trump’s invitation was likely due to their support of the U.S. stance against Venezuela at the Organization of American States.
He also acknowledged that not all countries in the region agree with the U.S. call for Maduro’s ouster. | 2019-04-19T15:22:40Z | https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2019/03/22/venezuela-is-key-topic-between-trump-and-caribbean-leaders |

Tom Brady suspended four games, New England Patriots lose first-round draft pick.
New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady talks to the media during a press conference to address the under inflation of footballs used in the AFC championship game in January.
Tom Brady will be suspended for the first four games of next season for his alleged role in deflategate and the New England Patriots will be docked a first-round pick in next year’s draft for the cheating scandal, the NFL announced in a statement on Monday.
Brady, who led the New England Patriots to victory in the Super Bowl for the fourth time last year, was punished for violating the “NFL policy on the integrity of the game” according to a report from the league’s official site. In addition to the suspension and the lost first-round pick, the Patriots will also lose a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft and will be fined $1 million.
The news comes one week after the league issued its report on the controversy, in which two Patriots staffers are alleged to have underinflated game balls during last year’s AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. The report, conducted by attorney Ted Wells, said that it is “more probable than not” that the two employees tampered with footballs before that game and “more probable than not” that Brady knew about it.
Brady, who has built up one of the greatest resumes in the history of the sport with two league MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVP awards, has said in the past that he prefers balls that are “deflated.” Deflating the air out of balls can help a quarterback’s grip, but the league mandates that game balls be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch.
The balls used by the Patriots in the first half of the Colts game were found to be inflated below that level and a series of text messages by the two Patriots employees alleged to have organized the team’s deflations indicated that they did it regularly and that Brady knew about it.
In 2006, Brady and Peyton Manning lobbied the league to change its rules to allow road teams to handle the footballs they used on offense. Before it was the home team that managed the balls for both sides.
Boston Globe writer Ben Violin reported that longtime Patriots employees and alleged game ball fixers Jim McNally and John Jastremski have been suspended indefinitely and banned from handling game balls.
Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to start the first four games of the year against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Dallas Cowboys. | 2019-04-26T06:42:47Z | https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/05/tom-brady-suspended-four-games-new-england-patriots-lose-first-round-draft-pick.html |

Just after my rant, I get a forwarded email. I usually junk forwarded emails but you may understand the level of my self-infliced boredom by the fact that I opened this one. And the first two points slapped me on my face with a scaly wet fish.
What follows is the cut-paste of the email. Apparently quotes of Bill Gates at a school on eleven things school won't teach you. The first two shall henceforth be my mantra. The rest aren't bad either.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: They called it opportunity.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were.
So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters.
You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.
In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

The Press-Telegram of Long Beach reports that police are searching for the driver of a PT Cruiser who struck and injured a motorcyclist on the Century Freeway near Downey. Hit and run incidents such as this one illustrate what not to do in the event of a car accident. However, here are several things you should do if you have a car accident.
Stop if you have had an accident. California law carries stiff penalties for drivers who strike another’s property or person and drive away. These penalties can be levied against you, even if the accident is not your fault.
Check for damages. Take note of any injuries to yourself or damage to your vehicle. If you have a camera phone take a few pictures of the damages. IMPORTANT: If a car accident causes injury or death, you must notify the police.
Exchange insurance information with the other driver. If your vehicle struck another person’s property, then you must leave a note with your name, address and a brief explanation of the accident.
Draw a simple illustration of the accident scene. Carefully note the position of cars, pedestrians, trees, utility poles, traffic control signals and street signs.
Accept no fault and accuse no one. Emotions are often high after a car accident, and making accusations can add unnecessary tension to an already stressful environment.
Report the accident to the local police or to the California Highway Patrol. Also, report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible.
Read our online article that outlines 10 Things to Do If You Are in a Car Accident if you would like a step-by-step guide to follow after an accident.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, please contact the Law Offices of Samer Habbas and discuss your situation with experienced California car accident lawyers. | 2019-04-24T18:59:54Z | https://www.habbaspilaw.com/what-to-do-after-a-car-accident/ |

The day started bright and early at 10:30 with this year’s installment of Amazing Tales From The Archives entitled “Into the Digital Frontier“, featuring Paramount archivist Andrea Kalas and Sony archivist Grover Crisp, who owns the Columbia film library. Kalas talked about the restoration work done on Wings and stressed the importance of using digital restoration technology when possible. This point was echoed by Crisp, who presented a demonstration on a DCP, or Digital Cinema Package, print of Dr. Strangelove vs. a surviving original negative of the film.
Things got a little passionate as 35 mm film die-hards asked questions about digital decay and other problems that arise with digital archiving and restoration.
The first film of the day was a screening of what has been called one of the best Chinese films ever made, writer/director Sun yu’s 1933 melodrama Little Toys (小玩意) with live accompaniment by Donald Sosin on the grand piano. The film stars legendary Chinese actress Ruan Lingyu as a toy maker whose handmade toys cannot compete with the industrialized toys that come from the invading Japanese. Li Lili plays her grown-up daughter in the latter half of the film and when these two actresses share the screen it’s hard to look away.
The second film presented was Ernst Lubitsch’s last film made in Germany before the legendary director signed with Paramount Pictures. The 1922 epic The Loves of Pharao (Das Weib Des Pharao), starring consummate actor Emil Jannings, was thought lost for many years. After being rediscovered, the film has been restored, although it is still missing about 600 meters of film, and was presented in DCP format and featured live accompaniment by Dennis James on the Mighty Wurlitzer.
Before the next feature, the festival shared a treat — an excerpt from the newly restored time capsule of film Twin Peaks Tunnel, which features footage shot over several years during the construction of the Twin Peaks tunnel in San Francisco starting in 1914 — a tunnel whose opening is just feet from the historic Castro Theatre. The entire 17-minute short film can be watched at Archive.org.
I think it is just physically impossible to not love Clara Bow. She is just insanely charming. Released a year before It, which launched Bow as the world’s first “It Girl,” 1926’s Mantrap certainly proved the star’s ability to steal the show. Directed by Victor Fleming (Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz), the comedy also stars Percy Marmont as a jaded New York divorce lawyer who comes to the Canadian wilderness in order to take a vacation from women.
Unfortunately — or fortunately? — he meets a trapper named Joe, played by the impeccable Ernest Torrence, and his wife Alvy (Bow), who might just run away with his heart — and from her husband while she’s at it. Stephen Horne wowed audiences with his live piano and occasionally simultaneous flute accompaniment.
The final film of the night was this year’s Director’s Pick, chosen by Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff), from a recommendation by cinema raconteur Pierre Rissient, was forgotten German director Hanns Schwarz’s The Wonderful Lie of Nina Petrovna (Die wunderbare Lüge der Nina Petrowna).
The film stars Brigitte Helm (Metropolis) in one of her most sexually alluring performances and featured live accompaniment by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra. Early on during the presentation there was some trouble with the projection of the inter-title translations, which were originally in German. Despite this, the film’s powerful imagery and performance allowed its story to be understood perfectly, and perhaps this little hiccup just helped to prove what we already know — that the emotions and power of silent films transcend both time and language.
The San Francisco Silent Film Festival continues over the next two days at the Castro Theatre. For more information on the festival, including a full line-up and ticketing information, be sure to check out the festival’s website: www.silentfilm.org.
I will be sad to see this end today. It has been a wonderful experience! | 2019-04-18T16:59:49Z | https://www.yam-mag.com/features/film-features/the-17th-annual-sf-silent-film-festival-day-2/ |
Lady Luck is a Low Grade Reality Manipulator with a focus on Probability Manipulation. On the small scale, her powers make her seem to be very lucky, since she passively alters the probability of everything around her to best benefit herself without causing physical alterations to the world. She could flip a coin a hundred times, and every single time it would come up whatever side would best benefit her.
On a large scale, she can physically change the reality of the world around her to ensure that events occur as she desires. She can look at a group of armed criminals, and with an effort of will, cause all of them to fumble and drop their weapons. As they scramble for the dropped weapon, they could all trip and fall into it, knocking it away from them and leaving them prone. Her Attack, named Murphy’s Law, is based around this concept being used in a combat situation.
Roisin (ro-sheen) Ó Ruaidhín (o-roo-uy-in), of the Ó Ruaidhín Crime Family, is the youngest daughter of Saoirse (sear-sha) Ó Ruaidhín, the Matriarch of the family. She was raised along with her siblings to use their mutant gifts to further the power and wealth of the Irish crime family. Her power over probability was considered to be one of the more useful talents among her generation, and her mother had high hopes for her daughter. Sadly she ended up with a sickly girl who had a strong aversion to violence. As she grew older, she was forced to use her powers to help her family commit crimes, until she was forced to kill to prove her loyalty to the family. With blood on her hands, she chose to flee from her life of crime, using her powers to evade capture and make her way to America to hide away from her family and her memories. Living on the streets wasn’t as hard for her as it might have been for others, her power making sure that she would never starve or freeze to death. Her life held no meaning beyond survival and hiding until she met Viktor Cass, the man that would become her mentor. Viktor was a street magician who took a waifish street kid under his wing, teaching her the tricks and skills of prestidigitation. | 2019-04-18T19:16:18Z | http://housedok.com/altitus-lady-luck/ |

Operating a business that provides services for home improvement or property management calls for attention to branding and presentation strategy. The way that contractors present their business to real estate professionals could make a significant difference in their ability to secure new contracts and engage repeat customers. Outpacing the local competition requires an attractive balance of reputation, experience, and marketing materials that prospective clientele can consume.
The goal of attracting people at a certain price point relates less to the actual cost and more to the perception of value (to an extent, of course). The way that a company uses branding to express their value to prospective clients depends on the type of client they want to get – or perhaps the most common type of client in their area.
Emphasizing good work for the price tends to work better than simply advertising low costs. Real estate professionals often know that the contractor who consistently puts in the lowest bid may not always be the best choice. As such, they usually look for other signs of a fair deal.
Any advertising approach for a target demographic varies based on cost. Customers looking to put in a series of luxury upgrades for high-end homes want the emphasis on quality materials, skilled labor, and attention to detail. Businesses seeking contractors to provide regular repairs and improvements for a series of properties may respond more to competitive pricing and efficient work.
Real estate professionals, also wanting to protect and enhance their own brand, are more attracted to businesses that also do the same. Contractors that consistently protect their brand, show and prove quality work while also having competitive pricing, are standouts that most people in real estate would be attracted to.
Your local brand can be just as powerful in your hometown as worldwide giants like Walmart and Home Depot. Watch this online training course to learn many of the mega-competitors’ secrets and how to apply them to your business.
Solid brand management for a contractor demands attention to all three of these areas. When real estate professionals start looking for contractors, they often begin with a quick online search.
Contractors with a solid online presence including a website and profiles on relevant home improvement sites will generally appear to be the more consistent choice.
Reputation from the community is also an important aspect of brand management. References from past customers should be relevant to the kind of project that prospective clients are looking for. Establishing a history of good work from the perspective of other contractors could be an effective way to prove reputation and find new clients. Contractors who work well with others and maintain those professional relationships may be recommended by contractors in a related field.
The tricky part with all of this is that doing a great job is sometimes not enough if there is enough competition. Contractors in these kinds of situations should encourage or ask for reviews/testimonials from those who truly valued their services.
Home improvement and maintenance involves a combination of investment and liability. Contractors can be held liable for the work they do. People who hire contractors to do work for them in a professional real estate capacity are also on the hook for the quality of the product should work not be up to required standards.
Contractors should work to achieve and maintain current licenses and insurance. Having this information ready for customers when they ask for it will demonstrate a willingness to comply with local laws and industry standards.
Whether you are struggling to keep the business moving or you are thinking about getting into the business, the process can seem challenging and overwhelming. Where do you start?
There are many different ways that contractors can show their skills and experience. The more comprehensive and relevant to the project at hand, the better. Contractors may want to create a selection of portfolios that showcase the variety of projects they are available to do. A package that customers can browse through with a high level of detail will help them to make an informed decision.
Professional pictures from a variety of angles, and information about a contractor’s process in the project, could offer an attractive package that also answers customer questions. This kind of investment in the presentation is important to gaining and keeping business. Real estate professionals are subcontracting their own reputations when they hire out for improvements. They want to know that the company they work with is just as committed to quality as they are.
The most successful contractors know how to balance engaging with prospective customers while they complete work that is already on the schedule. Customers are more likely to respond positively to professionals who take client time seriously and avoid overextending themselves.
A high rate of construction projects take too long and cost too much. Real estate professionals often understand this, so they prize contractors who work hard to minimize these potential issues.
In today’s hyper-competitive world, every bit counts when looking for new sources of business. Businesses that can adapt, improve, and play to their audience’s needs and desires will create a strong foundation for their future. By taking care of the way they present their services, contractors can better ensure that they receive the attention they want to get. | 2019-04-21T18:21:33Z | https://www.construct-ed.com/what-do-real-estate-professionals-look-for-in-contractors/ |

A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of your tooth above the gum line. Our Kalamazoo, MI dentist may recommend a dental crown to restore the function and appearance of a weakened tooth. A dental crown saves a tooth that’s been weakened by trauma or decay. We may also recommend porcelain crowns to cover teeth that are severely stained or discolored.
The dental crown procedure typically takes two trips to our office. First, we’ll need to remove some tooth structure so your crown can sit comfortably over top. Next, we’ll take dental impressions to send to the lab where your dental crown will be made. Our dental crown dentist in Kalamazoo, MI will place a temporary cover over your tooth while you wait for your crown to be ready.
When you return for your second appointment, we’ll be able to replace your temporary crown with the permanent one. Our dentist will check the color, size, and shape of your tooth crown before bonding it into place. We’ll also check your bite to ensure your dental crown fits properly.
Care for dental crowns like you would natural teeth. The American Dental Association recommends you brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time. Our dentist also recommends that you floss once daily to remove plaque hiding in between teeth.
Plaque loves to hide where toothbrush bristles can’t reach, which is why it’s important to invest in your oral health every day by practicing good dental hygiene. To maintain a healthy smile, you’ll need to schedule a teeth cleaning and oral examination every 6 months so we can monitor the condition of your tooth crown.
We offer dental crowns and other restorative dentistry to help you smile with confidence. To request an appointment with our Kalamazoo, MI dental crown dentist, call Kalamazoo Smiles at (269) 353-3700. | 2019-04-18T12:44:28Z | https://www.kalamazoosmiles.com/dental-crowns-dentist/ |
Amanda was so excited about her wedding that she literally danced down the aisle as family and friends formed a flash mob!
This was a very exciting ceremony all round. It was my first cruise ship wedding (in fact my first time on board a cruise ship, full stop.) Even though I was getting on and then straight off again, it was a whole new experience for me to walk up the gangplank and into the massive ship.
And as well as a wedding, it was the start of the honeymoon and family holiday, so it was a lot of fun. Everyone at the ceremony were also heading off on the Pacific Jewel for a cruise around the Pacific islands. It made for a very intimate wedding with their very closest family and friends alongside them, up on Deck 14.
Amanda had a special treat for Jono. Halfway down the aisle the music suddenly changed and she broke into a wedding dance. And then one by one, several other guests joined in too. The rehearsals had paid off… you should have seen Jono’s face. What a picture!
Amanda and Jonathan’s cruise ship wedding was aboard the Pacific Jewel cruise ship at White Bay, Sydney. | 2019-04-23T15:58:32Z | https://www.stephenleecelebrancy.com.au/sydney-marriage-celebrant/the-love-boat_cruise_ship_wedding/ |
To prep the cocoa butter, you may need to heat it to soften it.
Next, simply mix together all of the ingredients with the blender. The essential oils tend to fade over time, so you can be liberal when adding it. I added roughly two teaspoons, but there is no wrong or right amount to add. It's up the user on how strong you'd like the scent.
For the container, I used a small mason jar. I took the lid and punched a hole in the top, stuck a soap dispenser through and glued it in place with gorilla glue!
Hope your Wednesday is off to a lovely start.
the mason jar/soap dispenser is a lovely idea. this is awesome!
That is such a cute container! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
i must try this!! sweetest idea and i'm in love with the container!!!!
OOh how wonderful! Need to make this!
Love the all natural recipes you've been posting lately!
Working with organics on a small income can be hard but I think it's well worth it and important. Glad to hear you've made the switch!
This is so lovely, Kinsey! That bottle is so pretty. I'm so excited to make this!
Vanilla and lavender = my favorite combo of scents!
I'm a huge fan of natural body products, and the ingredients in this one sounds great and as natural as you can get.
I love mason jars - the possibilities with them are endless.
I love this. I'm a huge fan of wholesome living and oil definitely keeps your skin looking beautiful.
Love this idea (especially because I have a huge bottle of aloe vera that I am just NOT making a dent in)! A few comments, though. If you're using edible aloe vera, you probably need to keep this refrigerated to keep it from going bad, or make small batches that you use up quickly. Some essential oils have antimicrobial properties, which could help with that (rosemary and lavender spring to mind). Also, DON'T USE VASELINE. Petroleum is its main ingredient, and that is in no way natural or clean.
I love this new feature that you have added to your blog!!!
looks great! i'm definitely going to try this.
what did you use to punch a hole in the mason jar?!
This is such a great idea! And you know everything that is the lotion...which is a huge plus!
I love how not only the lotion is organic and homemade, but the jar and dispenser itself are recycled. Really some of the best things in life are homemade, I think.
I love homemade lotions! Thanks for the recipe for this one!
Love the jar where did you get it? How did you get that flower on? Its beautiful. Oh I also make handmade Lotions and their is limits to how much essential & Fragrance Oils you can use in your lotions or anything for that matter. Most suppliers should have a chart to let you know % & usage rates and if they are skin safe. Just thought id let you all know.
Love the jar & the flower. Where did you get them? I make handmade lotions and soaps and I just wanted to let you know that if you use any essential or fragrance oils in lotions or anything their is usage rates. Their should be a chart listed from the supplier you bought your oils from to let you know of the usage rates used in your products & if its skin safe. You can also find them online. Thanks for the recipe.
I was searching homemade and natural skin care products for my face. Thank you so much for this recipe for this one!
When I placed my lotion in a pump bottle, it solidified and won't pump. What did I do wrong? I added everything exactly to the measurements. Should I add more of one thing to soften it up?
Hi Heather! Hm, I'm not sure why you're having that issue! I would try remelting the oils and adding more aloe. If you're still having that issue you might try using it as a body cream instead of as a lotion! | 2019-04-22T14:26:25Z | http://www.sincerelykinsey.com/2013/02/clean-living-organic-homemade-lotion.html |

Just select a size, then wait for it to arrive. Stick it under your tree and wait until Christmas to open it. Gifts include a variety of bath and body products.
Looking for gift ideas for boyfriends or husbands? How about your brother? This great gift basket for men comes with six homemade soaps in scents that guys love. It also includes lip balm, lotion , and shaving soaps.
These last two are for our furry friends, starting with this awesome gift basket for dogs, featuring grain-free treats, like Cranberry Cheddar Biscuits and Iced Candy Cane Cookies! It also includes a cute personalized ornament!
This adorable gift basket for cats is loaded with fun toys for your feline friend, including: hemp tea bag tumblers, crocheted cotton chase balls, organic catnip baby carrots, and more. All toys are natural and are handmade in their Indiana workshop.
I really love all of these, it’s so hard to choose a favorite. Personally, I’d go for the coffee or honey gift basket. My dogs would love the dog basket, though, and my kitties would go nuts for the cat basket!
How about you? Which of these Christmas gift baskets is your favorite?

Herrick secured an appellate victory for the chapter 7 trustee of bankrupt demolition subcontractor Red Rock Services, affirming a judgment of almost $1 million won in a bankruptcy adversary proceeding in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On behalf of the trustee, Herrick sued a general contractor for breach of its obligations under subcontracts with Red Rock in a pair of multimillion dollar construction projects in Baltimore and Boston. After eight days of trial, the trustee was awarded a judgment of almost $1 million, including attorneys' fees. Herrick defended the judgment on appeal to the district court, where it was affirmed, and went on to successfully defend the ruling on the defendant’s second appeal to the Third Circuit, which affirmed the judgments of the bankruptcy court and district court in their entirety. | 2019-04-18T19:21:16Z | http://www.herrick.com/matters/red-rock-services-trustee-appellate-victory-in-bankruptcy-litigation/ |
New Urban Arts is an interdisciplinary arts studio for high school students and emerging artists in Providence, Rhode Island. Their mission is fantastic: Build a vital community that empowers young people to develop a creative practice they can sustain throughout their lives. They provide studio, exhibition space, and mentoring for young artists who explore the visual, performing, and literary arts through yearlong free out-of-school programs.
Thanks to the invitation from a friend on Friday I took my children to the opening of Mid Year Makings: An Exhibition of Works in Progress. An interactive art exhibition that celebrates imagination, curiosity and collaboration. Artworks featured are created by Providence public high school students and included film, sculpture, drawing, photography and more.
The children had a great time with their friends interacting with the art and eating ice cream. If you missed the opening there is still time to see the exhibit and see the studio in use. Below are just a few of the things we saw and did at New Urban Arts. Stop by White Electric Coffee (a few doors down) before or after for a snack.
The opening was family-friendly and fun. Make your own sundae or ice cream float.
I loved the wall with the ink spot monster art. Supplies were available so we could try making our own ink spot art. The computer played a short animated shadow puppet film. The orange Harold box is full of the parts used in the film.
Window art with two moving mobiles. The kids had fun figuring out what made the mobiles move up and down.
One of the exhibits had an idea box. Paper is provided for you to write down your own ideas to place in the box. If you are out of ideas or need a new one, take one from the box. Our kids were full of ideas having to do with recycling, toys, and being nice to people. This is a fun and easy project to try at home or school. I know some days I am full of ideas and other days I need a little inspiration.
that is very cool. your boys are adorable!
I never knew what that place was about! Cool! | 2019-04-24T20:36:54Z | http://kidoinfo.com/a-visit-to-new-urban-arts/ |

While they shop at Harrods.
And the shopping has to stop.
The last breath of revolution.
No shopping can buy enough.
I wrote this about the mild mannered doctor Assad and his English born wife Asma. He who signed the Hippocratic oath to save life and she who likes designer goods from Harrods. He who has killed hundreds of thousands.
I watched the caring man influenced by family to become the hard-line killer – the barrel-bomb expert and sarin gas deployer.
Divorced from reality – it was all about power and sycophancy.
Taking time off from unleashing the dogs to shop and attend opera. While elsewhere his people crouch in basements, shudder at the sound of explosions and await death.
Only the militia who are promised paradise are gleeful. They believe the lies. | 2019-04-18T18:53:53Z | https://ophersworld.com/2018/11/01/the-assads-go-shopping-a-poem/ |
Paint In Black, an amazing game from the amazing Youngcaliman. Youngcaliman has been creating awesome games, not only platform but ppg, shooter and algorithm crew.
Well, my initial thoughts were "platform? Youngcaliman? This has to be a good one!" I have always been a huge fan of Youngcaliman and i will always be. The quality of Young´s games does not get below "epicness." I already thought it was going to be an awesome gamw but I didn´y know it was going to be that epic!
Paint It Black isn´t a normal game, it´s like a demostration of the Platform Game Creator Possibilities. If you ever get far in this game, do not thinks it´s over becouse there are still millions of traps and puzzles to get through. In my opinion, longitude is a Key Tool to success. Longitued allows the player to keep active and entretained. The game has a white, black and blue theme all over the game. This theme has been very cleverly placed, the blue and the black colours contrast the white. The theme is connected to the title becouse it has a black lighting effect. But it doesn´t stop there, the game also has puzzles, traps and boss battles!
Let´s talk about the puzzles. They are unique, just like your personality. The puzzles prove Youngcaliman´s effort making this magical game. They are not the usuall puzzles that everyone uses, there are new incredible puzzles that sock you even more! First of all, they are strange, who would ever use a teleport for a puzzle? Second of all, they tested your platform abilities. Some of them required checkpoints and death. I was really amused in the way he used "logs" to create puzzles. Some of the puzzles were over-used, like the barrel ones!
Let´s talk about the scenery. YoungCaliman used water as blue paint and black tiles as black paint. This was created very cleverly becouse it matched the title [Paint It Black.] The colours were mainly black, blue and white. The decoration was very low becouse Young used the black lighting effect as the main decoration. I was really impressed in the way he used other techniques like symettry to create the game.
Placement has been another success in this game. The placement of enemies, blocks and powers up were cleverly placed. If you abuse of them, the game would be “not worthy” but Young has used the perfect amount. The health and the powers-up were placed in a way that made it possible. The first levels didn´t require lives but the last ones did. Lives were essential becouse they were the key of some puzzles, like the ones you had to touch a checkpoint and then die... The placement of the powers-up were mainly at the latest levels. Placement has been a crucial element in this game!
In my opinion, Young is one of the best members of sploder. He never dissapoints me. His games show magic, effort and epicness. This game has taken Young a little bit higher in the epicness rank. This game shows new puzzles, amazing scenery, clever placement and longitude.
Not everything was hapiness and epicness, Paint It Black had it´s bad issues. The main issue I found was the traps, I didn´t find lots of them. I was quite dissapointed about this becouse Young usually creates amazing traps.
I found this an amazing game. Again. This game allows the player to have fun. It testes you abilities like no other game. Overall, an epic game.

Havana, Cuba, May 20.- Cuban academics who will attend the International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), May 21-24 in Chicago, Illinois, denounced in Havana the delay of their visas to travel to the United States.
During a meeting at the Association of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC), poetess Nancy Morejon described as unacceptable the fact that the visas were granted in so many cases with very little time before the date of travel.
It is unacceptable that this happens due to what it means in terms of the agenda to meet, said Morejon, who co-chairs the Cuba chapter of LASA.
The writer said that although 125 visas were granted, there are still another four still pending.
According to sources, the delayed visas might bring difficulties for the program, since not all members of the group could make it on time to Chicago since they would not be able to change flights or get new flight tickets.
The 32nd International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association will focus on democracy and memory, according to its official page. The Association groups Latin American scholars in all disciplines and promotes intellectual debate, research and knowledge on this part of the world.

I am certainly a Autumn/Winter girl, but summer does bring a happiness over me. I love the bright early mornings, getting a bit of a tan and those days going out to the park or generally anywhere when its a nice day. To get ready for summer as I am naturally pale, I need a little boost with a summer glow. I have used these palettes to help sculpt my face, highlight what needs to be highlighted and gave myself a radiant goddess feel. Who wouldn’t want that?

For the next-to-last time before the NFL Draft gets underway, we have a Mock Draft Survey.
But for the umpteenth time, offensive tackle Andre Dillard is the player most-mocked to the Houston Texans.
We’ve combed the worldwide web for the most notable mock drafts, and of 54, Dillard was tabbed to Houston the most. 15 of 54 (27.8%) had the left tackle as a Texan.
Holding strong in second place was Oklahoma offensive lineman Cody Ford, who was mocked to the Texans by eight of the 54 (14.8%) experts.
Offensive lineman Dalton Risner was mocked to Houston by four different experts (7.4%), while Jawaan Taylor of Florida and Greg Little from Ole Miss each were mocked to the Texans three times apiece.
In all, the mockers agree: Houston will take an offensive lineman with their first round pick. 40 of 54 (74.1%) have Houston bolstering the protection up front. A cornerback was mocked to Houston eight times (14.8%).
The NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 25 in Nashville. Earlier that day, we’ll release the final 2019 Mock Draft Survey. | 2019-04-24T14:21:20Z | https://www.houstontexans.com/news/mock-draft |
My son and I live in a two bedroom apartment, located the the Bronx. Prior to us moving into our current apartment my son and I owned a cat who we called spicy. I took spicy in as a kitten who was being mistreated by his first family. Spicy became part of our family for 8 years. While living in my previous residence my landlord had abandoned the building which forced my to move immediately it was unfortunate for us because the place we moved to didn't allow any animals, although it was temporary. I was forced to take spicy to ASPCA. After i secured our permanant residence, I returned for spicy but he was already adopted by another family. My son and I never adopted another animal after spicy. I'm currently seeking my BSW to become a social worker, and employed as a case manager working with adults living with a mental illness. I'm in my third year and soon to be finished. I would find it beneficial to my son and I to help those in need of cat sitting so we can provide the care that the cat is use to while there family is away.
If you live in the Bronx, close to the Yankee Stadium, LaShaun will provide a loving home environment for your cat until you return. Contact Kitty in NY and send more information about your cat.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Today, the following story on Rob Portman’s efforts to reach out to millenials ran in the Washington Examiner. In 2015, the Portman for Senate campaign launched an aggressive volunteer grassroots program that recently surpassed 1,700,000 voter contacts through its door-to-door and phone programs. In September, the campaign launched its Students for Portman Coalition, which now has campus coordinators on over 30 college and university campuses across Ohio.
Sen. Rob Portman is ready for anything, including running for re-election on a Donald Trump-led ticket.
The Ohio Republican is looking to run his own race. Thus far, Portman's team has built a top-notch fundraising apparatus, with $13.5 million in the bank, topping opponent and former Gov. Ted Strickland by a 5-1 margin, with a particular focus on the Democrat's career as an "ineffective congressman" and his gubernatorial record, which Portman heavily contrasts with his work in Washington.
"We've constructed a campaign to be able to win regardless of who is at the top of the ticket," Portman told the Washington Examiner at his Columbus headquarters after criss-crossing Ohio for his campaign's Super Saturday. "We started this long before Trump ascended."
…One place where Portman is placing a lot of emphasis is with millennials, a group typically not warm to Republicans. At a trio of his events on Saturday, field offices in Suburban Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus were crawling with college and high school students phone-banking and setting out with walk sheets to knock on doors, with he and his campaign realizing that they could be key to a win over Strickland.
"I'm going on campus a lot. We're not going to give up on the millennials. Most Republicans have. They don't go on campus anymore. Mitt Romney never went on Ohio State's campus. Barack Obama went there four times. I think it made a big difference," Portman said noting that Obama won over 60 percent among young voters in 2008 and 2012 in Ohio. "We're not going to let that happen."
The Trump factor still lingers, with the potential for the GOP race still being in flux heading into the GOP's July convention in Cleveland still a unique possibility. But with "red meat" tending to prevail in 2016 thus far, Portman hopes his race could be one of the few centered around substance rather than political flair.
"We really want to control our own destiny," he said. "We're doing things that are really different to be able to do well regardless."
In September, the Portman for Senate campaign launched its Students for Portman coalition with campus coordinators on over 30 college and university campuses across Ohio.
Since the Primary, the Portman campaign has purchased six Snapchat "geofilters." The filters showed support for Rob Portman, and reminded users of Ted Strickland’s awful record as Governor when the state of Ohio lost more than 350,000 jobs, support for the Obama-Biden failed foreign policy agenda, and awful record on China. | 2019-04-23T06:22:47Z | https://www.robportman.com/icymi_portman_placing_emphasis_on_millennials_and_grassroots_campaign |

After three trials, Memphis prisoner Timothy McKinney won his freedom by pleading guilty to a crime he never did.
Memphis death row prisoner Timothy McKinney has been trying to overturn a 1999 conviction for the fatal shooting of a police officer that he maintains he never committed. After a third trial and a hung jury, McKinney was finally offered a plea deal: plead guilty to second-degree murder and be released with time served. McKinney plead guilty to a crime he never committed and will be set free as early as today.
Nation Associate Editor Liliana Segura has followed McKinney’s case and her most recent Nation article chronicles the case, from a prosecution too corrupt to back down to a system that will send men to their death based on weak evidence. She spoke with Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh about the trial and McKinney’s impending release on today’s Democracy Now!.

SYDNEY Women's Jordan Akins Jersey , Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- The Commonwealth Bank of Australia ( CBA) predicted on Thursday that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will keep interest rates at a record low of 2.5 percent through 2015.
The Australia's biggest bank said it is now quite likely that the RBA will keep interest rates at record lows as the Australian dollar and oil prices keep falling.
However the bank tipped the RBA would raise interest rates in 2016.
The cash rate has remained at 2.5 percent from 2014, the lowest calendar year average since 1959.

NAIROBI， Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- World Cross Country champion Agnes Tirop will launch her first international race in almost two years on Sunday during the Atapuerca race in Spanish city of Burgos.
Tirop suffered a knee and tendon injury on her way to victory during the finals of the women event in Guiyang， China last year. She has been in rehabilitation and only returned to form a month ago. She will be testing her form after shaking off her career threatening injury in Spain aiming to emerge victorious.

When using sample data to estimate a population characteristic Women's Kevin Johnson Jersey , either a single number estimate or a confidence interval estimate might be used. Confidence intervals are generally preferred because a single number estimate, by itself, does not convey any information about its accuracy. For this reason Women's Nick Martin Jersey , whenever you report the value of a single number estimate, it is a good idea to also include a margin of error.
A confidence interval (CI) for a population characteristic is an interval of plausible values for the characteristic. It is constructed so that, with a chosen degree of confidence Women's Will Fuller V Jersey , the actual value of the population characteristic will be between the lower and upper endpoints of the interval. Associated with each confidence interval is a confidence level. The confidence level provides information on how much “confidence” we can have in the method used to construct the interval estimate. Usual choices for confidence levels are 90%, 95% and 99% although other confidence levels are also possible.

Several months ago I had the honor of being asked to make a guest appearance over at Faith Beyond Fear. Of course, I was eager to accept, and when we decided on a publication date of last week I realized it would fall right in the middle of our Redeeming Thanksgiving series. So, I decided to tie what I wrote into that topic.
If you’ve never checked out the Faith Beyond Fear website, I highly recommend you spend a little time over there. Not only to read this post, but the wealth of others as well. There are so many wonderful articles for anyone who struggles to allow their faith in Christ to overcome the fears of this life.
More than a dozen contributing writers share testimonies, devotionals, and how-tos all designed to help you move beyond fear to a place of confident faith in the One who holds our future.
Here is a short snippet of what I wrote and a link to go read the rest of it. And come back next week as we continue with our own Redeeming Thanksgiving Series.

#OTD 17 November 1968 James A. Porter taught an adult class titled, “African Background in Afro-American Art,” at the Universalist National Memorial Church (16th & S Sts NW). The class was held at 10am.
Rev. Seth R. Brooks, D.D. was the minister. Pastor Brooks’ sermon was titled, “The Consolation of Religious Limitations.” Both worship service and church school were at 11am.
Porter was head of the Art Department at Howard University and the university’s art gallery. In January 1965, he had a solo exhibition in the art gallery. A number of the oil paintings had been completed during his trip to Nigeria in 1964. The trip apparently was funded, at least in part, by an Evening Star faculty research grant.
On 27 October 1968, Porter spoke on white artist Jan Van Eyck’s painting “The Annunciation” on the occasion of a U.S. stamp issued featuring Archangel Gabrel from the painting. His talk was held in the National Gallery of Art auditorium.
Your comments are welcome below. Did you, family members or neighbors attend Porter’s class? What do you remember about it? Do you have photographs or a program? Were you a member of the Universalist National Memorial Church? Were these types of classes common? What do you remember about Pastor Brooks? You may comment privately here.

You Are Here : Home » Learn » New World » Answer me » Why do Snakes shed their skin?
As mammals snakes are also born tiny and then they grow or mature. As they grow the skin which covers them becomes tight and gets stretched. It reaches a point where the skin cannot accommodate the growing snake anymore and thus the skin comes off or sheds. It is just like a small child getting out of his/her tight clothes.
The new skin that comes on the snake is just like the old one and has the same design or patterns.
Shedding of snake skin depends on the specie of snakes. On an average a snake sheds its skin two to four times a year. Young snakes grow very rapidly, thus shedding their skin more often- almost every two weeks. The shedding of skin reaches its peak when the snakes reach adulthood. Then it may happen twice a year.
The shed skin is almost transparent to look at. Since the skin has been stretched, the old skin is longer than the actual snake. | 2019-04-21T13:21:30Z | https://mocomi.com/why-do-snakes-shed-their-skin/ |

Describes management measures to provide reasonable assurance of the availability and reliability of IROFS.
Applicants for new licenses and persons holding licenses under 10 CFR Part 70, "Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material," on September 18, 2000, must perform an ISA and submit a summary (referred to as an "ISA Summary") to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for approval.
While the licensee maintains the full ISA and its supporting documentation at an existing licensed facility, the licensee annually submits the ISA Summary which is subject to NRC review. The ISA Summary focuses on accident sequences with credible consequences that could exceed the criteria of 10 CFR 70.61, "Performance Requirements." The ISA Summary is a synopsis of the results of the ISA and contains information specified in 10 CFR 70.65(b).
Conducted an ISA of appropriate detail for each applicable process, using methods and staff adequate to achieve the requirements of 10 CFR 70.62(c)(1) and (2).
transportation accidents and accidents at nearby industrial facilities.
Designated engineered and administrative IROFS and correctly evaluated the set of IROFS addressing each accident sequence to provide reasonable assurance, through preventive or mitigating measures and the application of supporting management measures (discussed in Chapter 11 of this standard review plan), that the performance requirements of 10 CFR 70.61 are met. Management measures (as described in NUREG-1520) are activities performed by a licensee that are applied to IROFS to provide reasonable assurance that the IROFS will perform their intended safety function when needed to prevent accidents or mitigate the consequences of accidents to an acceptable level.
The NRC determines the acceptability of the applicant's ISA by reviewing a portion of the ISA documentation and any supporting documentation maintained on site and by reviewing and approving the applicant's ISA Summary which, although not part of the license application, is placed on the public docket. Neither the ISA nor the ISA Summary is incorporated as part of the license.
Reviewers must confirm that an ISA Summary meets the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 70.65, "Additional Content of Applications," and, specifically, that suitable IROFS and management measures have been designated for high-risk accident sequences and that programmatic commitments to maintain the ISA and ISA Summary are acceptable. | 2019-04-25T15:59:28Z | https://www.nrc.gov/materials/fuel-cycle-fac/integrated-safety-analysis.html |

The Jersey Animal Coalition (JAC) is breaching their lease with the Townships of Maplewood and South Orange Village, according to a letter sent by Village Administrator Barry R. Lewis, Jr to Ruth Perlmutter, who is the founder and president of JAC.
"JAC is in breach of the Lease as the Township of South Orange Village is unable to bring its strays to the JAC facility", Lewis wrote. "The result is that the village is incurring expenses to bring strays to Associated Humane Society (in Newark) as an alternative". The letter continued to say that "the Village will look to the JAC for reimbursement for all additional costs and expenses that the Village is incurring during this closure".
In the letter, Lewis also requested that Perlmutter provide the Village with a current copy of JAC's fee schedule, proof that the shelter is "competent to care" for the animals, proof that the shelter is licensed by the state, proof that the shelter is in compliance with state and village licensing requirements, certificate with proof of workers' compensation insurance, proof of fire and extended coverage, proof of liability insurance, and certified financial statements from the last three years in order for JAC to be reissued a license to operate the shelter.
In addition, according to a notice issued on April 21 by South Orange Code Enforcement and Inspections director Anthony Grenci, JAC is in violation of the New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code Act. The notice said that JAC installed a shed without a building permit or zoning approval, and will not be issued a certificate of occupancy or approval until the violation is corrected. Plus, JAC must pay a fine of $2000.
Another letter was sent by South Orange Village health officer John Festa to Dr. Michael Santiago, the JAC Veterinarian of Record on the same day. Festa told Dr. Santiago that the shelter is under quarantine because of an order by the South Orange Department of Health, but is closed because of an unsatisfactory rating given to the shelter after an inspection by the village and state health departments. Festa explained this by saying that even if the quarantine was lifted, the shelter would remain closed until the shelter receives a conditional or satisfactory ranking during a re-inspection.
Festa said that in order for the quarantine to be lifted, JAC must have cats who were showing signs of ringworm tested to confirm whether or not any of the cats have the disease. In the tests show that any of the cats are infected with ringworm, proper written isolation and treatment protocols must be prescribed and supervised by the veterinarian of record. In addition, the veterinarian of record must "create and maintain documentation on daily treatment logs, of the medication that the animals are receiving, including the prescription and instructions for the use of the medication and duration of treatment as described by the veterinarian. Such records must be created for each of the animals determined to have ringworm".
The letter also said that at the time of the inspection, there were no written disease prevention protocols, disinfection procedures, or healthcare programs for each animal, "all of which are required to be created, maintained and supervised by the Vet of Record". Plus, Festa wrote that "it is noted that the entire facility shares a ventilation system, and that bedding for animals throughout the facility was supplied from the laundry room where the suspected ringworm infected cats were housed. Thus, every animal in the entire facility will require treatment as they have been exposed".
According to the letter, other requirements needed for the quarantine to be lifted include that the staff members must have received in service training and are following the orders of Dr. Santiago, carpeted cat furniture in the cat rooms must be disposed of and replaced with nonporous furniture, all bedding must be disinfected, the entire facility and all enclosures must be decontaminated, and an isolation room must be created solely for the purpose of holding animals with signs of communicable disease. In addition, staff members should wash their hands thoroughly after handling animals in the isolation rooms.
In the letter, Festa told Dr. Santiago that when the village does lift the quarantine, it will only be on a conditional basis, and he would be expected to provide monthly reports regarding the progress being made to implement the issues listed above. Festa concluded his letter by telling Dr. Santiago that "the Village expects you, as vet of record, to create, facilitate, supervise, and certify. Many of these requirements will require you to be onsite and hands on, and cannot be fulfilled remotely".
The violations and letters were obtained after a public records request was filed by Nancy Schetelick, a former JAC volunteer coordinator.
The South Orange Police Department reports that three people were arrested for allegedly being involved in a Lenox Avenue house burglary on April 12. According to the SOPD website, "detectives were able to recover a vast majority of the jewelry that had been stolen from the residence". A 23 year old, 16 year old, and a 17 year old, all from Irvington, were taken into custody on April 15 following an investigation by the SOPD Detective Bureau. The SOPD is still continuing their investigation.
First on Essex County Place: The Jersey Animal Coalition (JAC), which operates South Orange and Maplewood's only animal shelter, pled not guilty to over 50 charges on Tuesday at South Orange Municipal Court in Maplewood. The shelter was placed under quarantine by the South Orange Department of Health following an inspection by village and state health officials on March 12. JAC president and founder Ruth Perlmutter, who was not present at the hearing, had also been facing two separate charges dating back to February. However, South Orange Municipal Court Judge Jonathan H. Rosenbluth dismissed those charges in court. Judge Rosenbluth said that Perlmutter will now be considered an officer of JAC in court, and therefore faces no personal liability.
When asked in court by Judge Rosenbluth, attorney William Strazza, who is representing JAC, said the animals who live at the JAC Shelter are being cared for. Several former volunteers who appeared at court were doubtful of that statement. One former volunteer, who asked that she not be named, told Essex County Place that "they (JAC) said that the animals are doing good. Unless they've doubled their staff in six weeks, the animals aren't doing good". The former volunteers said that the shelter has been closed multiple times before, but never for this long. "We're concerned about the animals", said Roslyn Dreydoppel, "it is a filthy shelter".
Some of the former volunteers claimed that the village knew about the alleged problem and had not taken sufficient action until now. "The town ignored it for years...the state was tipped off", said a former volunteer, who asked that she not be identified, "It should have been closed years ago".
South Orange Municipal Prosecutor Gracia Robert Montilus spoke to a few of the former volunteers after the hearing. One of the former volunteers called the not guilty plea "a disgrace". Montilus said that the charges are "extremely egregious", and said that he is planning a meeting for volunteers who say that they have witnessed the alleged violations.
Judge Rosenbluth said that these are "very serious charges...(with)...very serious consequences". The case will now enter the discovery stage. JAC must respond by May 13, and the prosecution must respond by June 17. Judge Rosenbluth said that a conference will be held on June 17 to discuss "issues as to the operation (of the shelter)".
The JAC Shelter remains under quarantine, however the former volunteers stressed that the shelter is in need of donations, especially food, towels, litter, and cleaning supplies.
The South Orange Police Department reports that a carjacking took place on Saturday, April 19 on Irving Avenue.
"A Montvale resident stated that on Saturday 4-19-14 at approximately 11:30pm he was pulling into a driveway on Irving Ave. when he was robbed at gunpoint by two masked actors. The victim stated that he was about to exit his vehicle (2009 Mercedes) along with his female friend when the actors approached the vehicle on foot in the driveway and demanded their property and the vehicle. After obtaining the victim's property the actors fled in the stolen vehicle east on Irving Ave. An Officer observed the carjacked vehicle along with another suspect vehicle on Centre St. and engaged in a pursuit of same into the city of Newark. The pursuit lasted a short period of time before terminating same. The actors are both being described as black males wearing ski masks and approximately 6'0" in height and believed to be in their 20's or early 30's. The Detective Bureau is investigating the incident".
The SOPD also reported that a Lenox Avenue house was broken into, and a vehicle was stolen.
"A Lenox Ave. resident stated that on Saturday 4-19-14 at approximately 4:40am he awoke to find an actor in his hallway. The victim stated that it appeared the actor was holding a weapon possibly a handgun however, the actor fled the scene upon seeing the victim and in doing so removed the victim's vehicle (2002 Lexus) from the driveway. The actor was wearing dark clothing and a ski type of mask covering his face. The Detective Bureau is investigating the incident".
South Orange's annual River Day Celebration is scheduled to take place this year on Saturday, May 4 from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

There will be a volunteer cleanup of the East Branch of the Rahway River during the event. According to the South Orange Environmental Commission, those interested in volunteering should complete this form, bring waterproof boots or old sneakers, and "curiosity and a sense of community".

Jersey Animal Coalition (JAC) officials are now due in South Orange Municipal Court next Tuesday, April 22, at 3:00pm on over 50 charges. JAC operates an animal shelter at 298 Walton Avenue in South Orange. The charges were issued to JAC on March 12 and March 25 following an inspection conducted by both village and state health officials.
Ruth Perlmutter, the president and founder of the Jersey Animal Coalition is also due in court on two separate charges dating back to February. A statement from Perlmutter was posted on the Jersey Animal Coalition website today. In the statement, Perlmutter says "For those of you reading this who know me, you know that I have dedicated nearly a lifetime to the care and protection of animals. That lifetime passion, and my genuine belief that we are all God’s creatures, eventually led me to the world of animal rescue, which then led me to my work to help establish a no-kill animal shelter in South Orange through the Jersey Animal Coalition. After a lifetime of dedication to animal welfare, I handed my role to a new President. However, it came to the Board’s attention earlier this year that the person who took my place did not share the same passion and the same views for the protection of our animals. Therefore, our board had no choice but to remove that individual from office. I am proud to say that the board showed its faith in me by re-electing me as president. All this said, many of you, no doubt, have heard or read that in my absence, the shelter has come under severe scrutiny. At the moment, our shelter is under quarantine. In addition, the South Orange Department of Health has filed numerous charges against us for various health violations. Please know this….as the Jersey Animal Coalition President, neither I nor the board have no intention of dealing with these important issues through the press or by responding to false and slanderous internet postings and rumors. The Jersey Animal Coalition, through counsel, has denied all the charges against it, and will wage that battle in the appropriate forum – in court. As to the one thing which truly matters – our animals – know that the board and I are personally dedicated, as ever, to their health and well-being. And know that we are spending every waking hour fighting to get our doors re-opened – so that the Jersey Animal Coalition can continue to serve the community and provide salvation for these beautiful animals who all deserve a chance at life".
Perlmutter had originally agreed to speak to Essex County Place regarding the shutdown of the shelter, but did not return our questions.
South Orange Municipal Court is housed in the Maplewood Police and Municipal Court building at 1618 Springfield Avenue in Maplewood.
South Orange and Maplewood's only animal shelter has now been closed for over a month. The Jersey Animal Coalition shelter on Walton Avenue in South Orange was shut down by the South Orange Village Department of Health in March following an inspection conducted by village health officer John Festa and Linda Frese from the New Jersey Department of Health on March 12.
The inspection report said that the shelter was allegedly violating multiple state laws, and their were several other issues at the facility causing the shelter to be shut down. The report said that "the fire inspection unification posted at the facility showing evidence of a satisfactory inspection had expired" in 2013, "(paper) towels were not provided at several of the hand washing sinks located in the animal rooms and at the sink in the food preparation area", and dog crates were being used as "primary enclosures to house dogs in various locations throughout the facility". According to the report, four of these crates, which were constructed of an "inconsistent gauge wire to provide safe containment of the animals", were located in the education room, and intended for aggressive dogs. Furthermore, the report said that the crates "wobbled and started to tip when the dogs jumped on the sides of the enclosures". The report also said that one dog was being housed in the staff break room.
Other findings from the inspection included pieces of dog treats on the floor, walls with water damage, a hole in the laundry room ceiling, a phone jack outlet without a cover plate in a free-roaming cat room, and dangling electrical cords, according to the report. The report also said that the village health inspector found dog feces throughout the parking area and outside grounds, in addition to a bag of dog feces "melting into the snow". There was an "excessive amount of clutter", and unlocked cabinets with medical supplies inside, the report continued. Plus, the report cited insufficient ventilation, animals showing signs of illness being kept in the same room as other animals, dogs being placed in previously inhabited enclosures without the enclosures being cleaned first, lack of records, feeding pans not being cleaned daily, and no evidence of sick or injured animals receiving "prompt basic veterinary care to alleviate pain and suffering". The report cited dozens of additional violations, including that "many of the animals" not being identified. Also mentioned in the report was that a sign on the front door indicated that the shelter was closed on Mondays, but the report said that the shelter is required to be open for public access for at least two hours every business day.
Other animal shelters in Northern New Jersey are reacting to the shutdown. Suzanne Roman, the Executive Director of the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover, said that "Mt. Pleasant is saddened by the situation with JAC and hopes their problems can be addressed, then monitored to ensure the best possible care for the animals entrusted to them". Roman said that the JAC shutdown has caused minimal impact to the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter. A representative for the Proud Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) of Montclair said "we lost our shelter at the end of 2008 so I think we know how they (JAC) feel, we took all our animals with us when we closed and now we are a foster network". Lisa Esak of the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge shelter said the the JAC shutdown "does not have a tremendous affect on us other than that there is always an overwhelming number of homeless animals and people looking to surrender animals and a shortage of places for them to go regardless. That unfortunately doesn't seem to change."
Regarding how the village has been impacted by the shutdown of the shelter, South Orange Village President Alex Torpey told Essex County Place that "the day-to-day services which the residents receive have not been affected. The Village has contracted with Associated Humane in Newark." The Jersey Animal Coalition shelter was where stray animals found in both South Orange and Maplewood were delivered before the shelter was shut down.
The president of the Jersey Animal Coalition, Ruth Perlmutter, originally agreed to comment for this story, but then did not return our questions. A statement on the JAC website says the the coalition is "working diligently to ensure that (the shelter) will reopen in a timely manner...as always, the health and safety of the animals in our care is our primary concern". The statement also says that "over the last few months, rumors, both real and perceived, have been flying about the shelter’s operations and future. Please be assured that the JAC Board is aware of everything, has been conducting its own ongoing investigation and is taking action. As a result, we took significant steps last month to rectify the source of many of these problems. We are looking forward to working closely with the State and the Village of South Orange so that together we can bring the Shelter back to its pre-eminent role as a community resource, and as one of the very few 100 percent no-kill shelters in the Tri-state area. Community support matters more now than ever. We thank you for your past, present and future support of JAC in keeping no-kill a reality in NJ." The coalition says that donations are needed now "more than ever, since...adoptions have been stopped".
When Essex County Place visited the shelter on April 14, a man who identified himself as a volunteer said that the shelter is in desperate need of donations. "Because of the vindictiveness of some of the volunteers, the only ones who really got hurt (by the shutdown) were the animals", said the volunteer, who said he is not employed by the coalition. According to the volunteer, the animals who live in the shelter have been locked in cages since the shelter was shut down. Pointing to a dog who he was bringing out of the facility, he said that many of the animals have become "very aggressive" because of this. The volunteer declined to give his name, but claimed that there were some volunteers who "weren't walking the dogs properly", and therefore were terminated by the coalition. "People found reasons to pick on the shelter", the volunteer said, alleging those volunteers reported the shelter to the village for various violations.
South Orange Deputy Administrator Adam D. Loehner told Essex County Place that "under the quarantine, no animals should leave the facility (shelter grounds). As for volunteers it is up to the vet of record to determine who needs to be there to ensure the animals are well cared for. The Village has asked the shelter to only walk animals on their property to ensure each animal is getting enough exercise time to maintain good health".
Donna Leusner, the director of communications for the New Jersey Department of Health told Essex County Place that "the Department (of Health) provided technical assistance to the South Orange Health Officer during the inspection. The New Jersey Department of Health does not have jurisdiction over animal cruelty situations but we were informed by the South Orange Health Officer that he notified the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NJSPCA) of the conditions under which the animals were held at the facility".
The Jersey Animal Coalition is due in South Orange Municipal Court in Maplewood tomorrow at 3:00pm on 51 charges. Ruth Perlmutter, JAC president, faces two different charges dating back to February. Perlmutter has pleaded not guilty, and JAC did not file a plea.
According to a press release from Essex County Public Information Officer Anthony Puglisi, the $30 Million renovation of the South Orange Avenue 'S-Curves" is the "largest road improvement project undertaken by Essex County in the last generation". The release said that the project will "flatten the curves in the road, enhance motor vehicle safety and storm drainage, and make the road meet modern traffic design standards". Although the construction is expected to last for the next two years, lane closures are not anticipated, according to the county.
"The public relies on our network of County roads to travel to work, school and conduct their daily lives, and South Orange Avenue is a major east-west thoroughfare. While stretch of road through Essex County South Mountain Reservation offers some picturesque views, the sharp turns and lack of shoulders on the side of the road create hazardous driving conditions and are prone to flooding", Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr. said in the release, mentioning that federal money will be used as part of the project. DiVincenzo added that the "Federal Highway Administration identified this section of South Orange Avenue as being dangerous over a decade ago".
French and Parrello Associates received a $1.6 million contract to design the roadway improvements, the release said. New Prince Concrete Construction from Hackensack was awarded a publicly bid contract for $25,915,389.50 to perform the construction. The Essex County Public Works Department is monitoring the project to ensure delays are avoided.
· The roadway will be re-aligned to reduce the sharpness of the curves.
· The roadway will be widened so that a shoulder can be created in the eastbound direction.

The Maplewood Department of Public Works is asking that Maplewood commuters complete a brief survey on the township website regarding the Maplewood Jitney service.
"Being that people can pay $1.00 to ride the bus instead of purchasing a pass, it is hard to an accurate count of how many people use this service", Maplewood DPW director Eric Burbank told South Orange Maplewood Place.
The survey asks questions regarding how often residents use the jitney, which jitney route and train they use, and whether or not the jitney is usually on-time.
"The commuters should take the survey so I can have better feedback and make adjustments where needed so to provide them with the best service possible", said Burbank.
The survey will be available until 9pm on Sunday, April 13. Only one survey may be completed per Jitney user.

First on PlaceNJ.com: Changes may be coming to the parking lot at the Maplewood Women's Club. According to the agenda for the Maplewood Township Planning Board Meeting tonight, the Planning Board will discuss "parking lot improvements to reconfigure lot and to create additional parking. Improvements include an underground detention system, new curbing, pavement, striping, landscaping, lighting and fencing".
Several Maplewood residents have already voiced opposition to the project. "Given the controversy over storm water runoff remediation in the (South Mountain) reservation, we shouldn't be blatantly contributing to the problem by paving over more land", Maplewood resident Jonathan Poor told South Orange Maplewood Place. "Even if parking is a legitimate problem...this is way too high a price to pay".
New Jersey American Water, the water supplier for Maplewood and Millburn. has announced that crews from NJAM will be working on Wyoming Avenue in Maplewood and Millburn from on/around April 10th to November as part of a $4.2 million water service improvement project.
"Nearly 22,000 feet of six-inch, unlined cast iron water mains will be cleaned of the minerals and sediment that has built up over time along the inner walls, and then the water mains will be lined with a cement coating", said Richard G. Barnes of NJAM in a press release.
According to the release, the current water mains have served Maplewood and Millburn residents, and this project will give the water mains "a new lease on their usefulness". NJAM crews will be working on Wyoming Avenue between Sagamore and Ridgewood, Claremont Avenue, and Linden Street from 7:30am to 5pm.
NJAM says that "while the work is ongoing, there will be minimal water service disruption for customers. The water services connected to the mains being cleaned and lined will be temporarily relocated to above ground, bypass mains".
Barnes told Essex County Place that the work will not require NJAM to close entire streets, but there are areas where traffic will be reduced to one lane during working hours. According to Barnes. traffic will go back to multiple lanes when the work is suspended for the evening hours.
The former South Orange Rescue Squad headquarters on Third Street in South Orange was torn down on Friday. Construction workers demolished the building to make way for Third and Valley, a new residential and retail development. The rescue squad is temporarily operating out of an apartment and garage at 13 4th Street, but will eventually move to a new building next to the South Orange Fire Department. The Jonathan Rose Companies, the developer for the Third and Valley project, donated $1.1 million to the rescue squad in order to help pay for the new building.
Third and Valley is expected to be completed in late 2015, and will be home to 215 apartments, 3,000 square feet of retail and office space, and a new parking garage.

Do parasites manipulate sexual signalling : an interspecies comparision.
Sexual selection, an integral part of evolution, accounts for the costly sexual signals that pose as a disadvantage to the individual’s survival. Such costly sexual signals evolve through sexual selection because they serve as honest signals of fitness. Mate choice can be based on direct risk of parasitic infection or heritable resistance to parasites. Manipulation of host behavior has been known since a long time. However, there are only a few studies of manipulation of host sexual signaling by the parasite. This review sets out to investigate whether parasite do indeed manipulate host sexual signaling. Results included examples of parasitic manipulation of host sexual signaling. Sexual signals can be exploited by parasites and they can also exert selection pressure on the hosts, compromising sexual signaling. Mate choice and mating success can also be manipulated by parasites. Parasites face an evolutionary pressure to manipulate sexual signals if there is discrimination against parasitized males in mate choice. Under certain circumstances, parasites do manipulate sexual signaling to their advantage. | 2019-04-24T08:37:58Z | https://repository.ntu.edu.sg/handle/10356/49382 |
Design of this new consolidated school is based on a “World Cafe” consultation and information gathering process with the three school community stakeholders as well as board representatives.
The architectural design for the new school involves a three-storey structure with outdoor access on two levels. The sloping topography allows the building’s second floor level to be situated at grade on the west side where the main entrance, drop-off route and parking lot are located. Sloping topography also allows first floor level access at grade on the building’s east side to all of the school’s athletic facilities. Building wings feature primary programs: theatre arts in the north wing and gymnasia in the south wing. | 2019-04-26T02:32:56Z | https://www.plusvg.com/2018/11/15/st-marys-college-catholic-secondary-school/?cat=127 |

Ashford Sings! is very proud to sponsor Pilgrims Hospice in Ashford.
Pilgrims Hospice is a charity providing palliative care free of charge to people in East Kent. They care for people with illnesses that cannot be cured including cancer, heart failure, respiratory conditions and neurological diseases. Care is provided from Ashford as well as other sites in Canterbury and Thanet, in patients’ homes and via community programmes. Support is also extended to families and carers.
Please visit Pilgrims Hospice’s website by clicking on their logo (opens in a new window). Ashford Sings! has had the chance to sing at Pilgrims Hospice on a number of occasions. To see how you can support, please check the Gigs page for further details!
We wanted to be intentional about supporting PH, so we set a target for the amount we’d like to raise. Our aim, by the end of 2011, was to have raised £1000! We smashed this target and actually ended up raising over £4500! Then we went for £5000 and the final total for 2012 was £5214.84 – brilliant! The total for 2013 was another amazing amount of money – £5065! Our grand total for Easter 2014 – Easter 2015 was an amazing £5597.82!
We’ve since changed when we reset the counter and work from one Big Concert & Quiz to the next, which is normally around June, so the running total is on the right.
In the meantime, to all the members of Ashford Sings! and to all our supporters, thank you for partnering with us to help support Pilgrims Hospice. | 2019-04-25T06:49:42Z | http://www.ashfordsings.org/fundraising/ |
