{"text": "This investigation is predicated upon a number of assumptions:\nThe data for the nuclides made up entirely of alpha particles are likely to yield the most clear cut information on structure. Here is the display of their structural binding energies as a function of the number of alpha particles.\nThis pattern indicates a shell structure. When a shell is filled the slope decreases because additional alpha particles go into a higher level shell. The bend points in the relationship are at 2 alpha particles and at 14 alpha particles.\nIt is notable that for this case the values of the structural binding energies are independent of any possible error in the mass of a neutron. The correction for such an error in the binding energy of the nuclide is exactly offset by the correction in the binding energies of the constituent alpha particles. This makes the value near zero for two alpha particles a major puzzle.\nThe incremental binding energy for an alpha particle in a nuclide is the binding energy of that nuclide less the binding energy of a nuclide with one less alpha particle. Although it appears that the incremental binding energy of an alpha particle is constant over the range of 2 to 14 such is not precisely the case.\nThe ups and downs and slopes of this pattern have meanings. The most obvious is in relation to the magic numbers which represent filled neutron and proton shells. In the above case the proton number and the neutron number for a nuclide are exactly the same. Here is the previous graph with the magic numbers noted.\nThe pattern is complicated but the sharp drop after a magic number is reached distorts the pattern. Here is the graph with the data points that immediately follow a magic number left out.\nThe pattern that emerges is something like what is shown below.\nThe fact that the line segments slope upward to the right indicates that the particles are attracted to each other. For particles that repel each other the line segments for the shells slope downward to the right.\nFor forces such as the electrostatic forces the effect of a spherically symmetric distribution of charge on a point outside of that charge is the same as if the total charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere. For a point strictly inside of the sphere the effect is zero. Now consider the effect on a point that is within the distribution of the charge. In this case the effect is that of the charge that is closer to the center of the sphere than the point in question as though it was concentrated at the center of the sphere. For the charge beyond the point in question there is no effect.\nFor particles in the same shell with a distributed charge their centers would be at the midpoint of the charge distribution so their effect on each other would be equivalent to one half of their charge concentrated at the center of the sphere.\nFor situations in which the charge distribution is not spherically symmetric or the force is not strictly inversely porportional to the square of the separation distance the ratio would not be one half but instead some value between zero and one.\nSuppose there are N particles in a nucleus and another particle is added. The addition creates N new interactions (bonds). Suppose the binding energy per bond is vj so the effect of that additional particle on binding energy is vjN. Now suppose another particle is added to the same shell. It creates N bonds with the previous particles plus a bond with the particle previously added. Because they are in the same shell the effect on each other is not vj but something more of the order ½vj, say ρvj where ρ is between 0 and 1. Likewise for the third particle. The incremental binding energy for the n-th particle added to the same shell is then\nThis suggest a regression equation of the form\nThis is implemented by creating variables, usually called dummy variables, di,j, such that di,j=1 if the i-th datum is in the j-th shell and 0 otherwise. Also variables of the form ui=di,j*(n-1) are created to capture the effect of the shell on the slope of the relationship between ISBE and the number of alpha particles.\nThe results of the regression are displayed in terms of the graph of the regression estimate of the ISBE along with the actual value.\nThe coefficient of determination (R²) for the regression is 0.98770. Although the data points which do not comfortably fit the pattern were left out of the regression the results of the regression are quite satisfactory. They confirm the basic validity of the shell occupancy model for nuclides.\nThe equations\nThus the shell occupancy theory implies that the ratio cj/[Dj/N] should be in the range 0 to 1 and should be the same for every shell.\nThese implications can be tested using regression analysis. Simple linear regression lines of the form ISBE = D + c(n-1) for obtained for the three different shells. (There were only two data points for the first shell.) The results were:\nThe ratios are of the right order of magnitude and very close to the same, (only a 0.5 of 1% differenc), for the third and fourth shells and not too far off for the second shell even though there are only two data points to estimate the relationship.\n(To be continued.)\nBelow is the graph of the incremental binding energies of alpha particles in nuclides which would consist of alpha particles plus one extra neutron.\nThe similarity of this pattern to the one for nuclides consisting entirely of alpha particles is shown by superimposing the two graphs, as shown below.\nThe similarity is more dramatic if the line for the alpha plus one neutron nuclides is shifted backward by one alpha particle.\nIn some places the shift made the fit of the two curves better and in other places it disturbed an existing fit.\n(To be continued.)"}

{"text": "Introduction\nThe first thing to do before one sets out to start a business is identification of an opportunity. He then strategize on the way forward; the success of the business is dependent on how well he is going to capture customers to buy from him, which on the other side is dependent on the quality of initial entrepreneurial decision. Different places require different set ups for their success (Avery, 2004). This paper analyzes the process that an entrepreneur undergoes before setting up a business.\nWe will write a custom Critical Writing on Entrepreneurial Process specifically for you\nfor only\n$16.05 $11/page\n301 certified writers online\nDecision Making\nEvery situation or opportunity has its own unique potential that an entrepreneur must capture if he is to be successful. This will be in consideration of business risk; business risk is the uncertainty on to whether the kind of business that the one has engaged in will be of success.\nThis is in both new and existing business when they want to extend their business to other areas of a start up business. Businesses are driven by market of goods produced; thus an entrepreneur must ensure that there is potential in the chosen location. When investing in some kind of a business there is the initial and subsequent running expenses. In a business environment the proceeds from the business should cover all this and there remain a portion that is the profit of the investor (Livingston, 2008).\nCompetition is a good element in the business arena since it ensures that quality goods and services are provided; it is the one that keeps the businessmen on their toes to ensure that they earn customer loyalty. This calls for continuous improvements of its products and services.\nTwo things must be considered then, whether the entrepreneur will be able to enter the market and whether he is capable to improve his products always. However, there are areas that competition is so high that any entrant will risk so highly and possibility of entering the market effectively becomes a problem, all these are factors that should be considered before making the go-ahead decision (Duening, Hisrich, & Lechter, 2009).\nEntrepreneurial Strategy\nThe success of an organization is dependent on the quality of decision made by its manager. One of the major attributes that make a good manager stand out is his or her decisiveness. The quality of decisions made by a manager is reflected in the performance of his or her organization.\nOther than the control by decision of the management, Customers influence almost all parts of a business. The available target customer’s needs should be well understood so as when deciding the kind of business to engage in, one is aware of the available customer segment. By segment we mean the class, social status, age, and income level. One must align himself to the interest of the customer and by so doing there will be continued business.\nWhen a business is established, the success will be dependent on the quality of the good/services that it will offer to the market. They must be those that satisfy the needs of the customer. As the business, he should listen to what other people have to say about the entire process. There are decisions that cannot be delegated and others can, there is need to separate them (Ebbena, & Johnson, 2006).\nResource Acquisition\nCapital is required for the set up of the business and the general running of the business; before one sets to start up a business there is the need to know the probable sources of capital. This may be from ones saving or a loan facility. Whichever the sources there is the need of understanding its source and ensure that it is dependable in all times. If the capital sources are not dependable chances that the business will go under are high.\nThere are day to day and short term financial obligations that should be met by a business and the money must be available for its running. These include overdrafts and creditors have to be paid. These calls for a constant amount of money to be available in the business this is what is referred to as liquidity. To cover this, business employ various ways to ensure that this is done, an example of the ways that they employ is buying of short term securities.\nThis may be in the form of shares in the stock exchange that is expected to be sold at a gain and the finances gotten can be used to meet the financial obligation. Another way that some businesses use to meet the financial obligation is by investing back the profits that they get into the same business and the cash flows that bear as a result are used to meet the obligations.\nExit Strategy\nIt is not always the case that a business set up will be successful, there are times that it may fail; when starting a business this should be taken into consideration. Business dynamics cannot be predicted with a 100% certainty. If the trend fails to favor a business, then the business is more likely not to meet its obligation.\nIt may be a failure in the market, change of fashion, calamities or negative goodwill created; they may hinder continuity of a business (Shane, 2003). To cater for this eventuality, there is need to have an exit plan. Mitigating any loss that is likely to result from loss of business is one of the common ways to have an exit strategy that will not hurt the entrepreneur.\nConclusion\nStarting up a new business is taking a risk; however if the decision is well thought there are numerous benefits that come up with investing in business. Before one set to start there are short and long terms parameters that he should consider to ensure that there will be continuity in the business.\nGet your first paper with 15% OFF\nThe future is unpredictable and so even the smallest details about something should be interpolated before starting up. From the above study; it has come clear to me that entrepreneurship is all about how well one can understand the future and plan on it. It involves a process of analyzing risks associated in a certain area and working in full recognition of their presence. All mitigation factors should be put in place before the business is started.\nReference List\nAvery, G. C. (2004). Understanding leadership: Paradigms and cases.

{"text": "JEANS\nI bought my first pair of Samurai jeans after I saw some football top lads chatting about them online, and then it kind of evolved from there.\nUntil then I'd only worn Evisus and Edwins. I also had some G-Star, but it's best I don't mention them. Now I only wear proper jeans – with selvedge. Raw as fuck heavyweight denim, inspired by vintage Levi's. Zimbabwean cotton, donut buttons, Cone Mills, shuttle looms, slubby hands, rivets. But still the trick is not to wash them. This way you get a more natural fade. It's all about the fade, which should be nothing like the fade found on jeans worn by Polish builders. You can't buy a fade. A fade takes time, work, dedication… and never washing them. Just look at the denim fades found in sepia railroad worker photos. You can't buy fade like that in Petticoat Lane Market. Never, never wash them. If you can smell a bit of doings then spray the crotch with Febreze. Harry Monk comes out with a suede brush. Just don't wash them.\nMy Chore coat is from Son of a Stag, which is my favourite shop and where I usually spend my Saturdays hanging around talking about denim fades, chain stitching and Redwings. The coat is a proper bit of Cone Mills Denim, based on the same design as a railroad workers work coat. The lads in the office took the piss a bit, but they can fuck off with their Superdry and Herschel. My missus also went a bit mental as I have stained the sofa blue. It has loads of pockets and a really deep one where you can store a rolled up newspaper, probably the Chicago Tribune or something like that, or more likely a dirty book, like Clam Pie, so you can have a crafty wank in a freight car or behind a signal box.\nThere's is one thing that I ain't, and that is some Tabard wearing cunt. But I did get a lovely gilet from a Japanese website. It is made from a original pattern from a original workwear manufacturer, lovely bit of raw slub denim with loads of pockets, including a pocket watch pocket, a pocket square pocket, a hidden switchblade pocket and another secret inside pocket where they hid their pigskin Joey bags. I can just see the railroad worker popping open his gilet and unrolling his Jimmy hat on to his oily, stained, dingus. it's a real authentic piece that looks super nice under my Chore Jacket.\nI have over 50 shirts, all work wear shirts from 7oz to 24oz: denim, chambray, hickory stripe, plaid, flannel, tin cloth, oil skin. Tab collar, banded collar, but never button down, Even though I like to roll my sleeves up, I think short sleeve shirts are for fucking weirdos – but I do like to show my vintage tattoos off. I would love to have arms like Popeye, and at least I'd have the shirts to show them off. If I had arms like Popeye I'd display them in arm wrestles with other railroad workers, or longshoremen, in a local tavern – then by beating up tramps I caught 'riding the rods' in the goods yard.\nTo break up the denim I like a few Chromexcel Horween leather goods, a nice lanyard, Oyster card holder, chewing tobacco pouch, key purse, and business card holder, all strategically positioned at the intersections of the different denim pieces. A few leather bracelets are nice, and I even have a Tanner Goods one that clips around the base of my cock and balls. Not that you can see it, though, as I keep my pubes in a vintage bush style. But keep them traditionally oiled.\nI have to keep my eye on eBay, as I'm currently bidding on a original vintage Hickory stripe railroad engineers hat – which will look smart as fuck with my original vintage denim dungarees. I recently sold all my rare trainers on the 'bay as I don't wear sportswear anymore, except if you call a loopwheeled sweatshirt with a embroidered Rocky & Bullwinkle logo sportswear. I now only wear work or engineer's boots, which aren't the best things to wear when cycling to the office or on your summer holidays, Anyway, with the money from eBay I'm planning a holiday to Japan because I'm going to give my prized denim collection its first wash. There's only one place for that and it's in the Japanese sea. Failing that, there's a good spot by the sewage outlet in Canvey Island.\nEither way they fucking need a good wash!"}

{"text": "The final year of your PhD is all about pushing towards submission of your thesis.\nSo in order to reach that point, you need to go through a process of consolidating and finalising the various aspects of your work.\nComplexity vs time\nThroughout the course of your PhD, most of the things you do will create more work. The more data you gather, the more analysis you have to do. The more reading you do, the references you find to read. Every question you answer raises many more, and so the complexity of your research will tend to increase over time.\nThis is a perfectly natural aspect of research, and it can take you to places you never could have planned for, but it also increases the uncertainty involved as more options present themselves for further research.\nIf you want to finish your PhD then this upward trend has to stop. At some point, you have to stop gathering data, stop investigating new ideas, and you have to start finishing things.\nAiming for submission\nOnce you submit your thesis, there is nothing more you can do to change it. You can’t add anything, you can’t take anything away. If you have a brilliant new idea, it’s simply too late to include it.\nIf we work backwards in time from that point; the day before you submit you only have time to make a few small changes. All the central ideas and conclusions need to be in place.\nOne week before you submit, you might be editing, and there might be a few sections you want to tweak, or maybe you are wrapping up the conclusion, but nothing fundamental is going to change.\nSo the general trend is that the closer you get to submission, the smaller the changes become. You are no longer exploring new ideas, but consolidating and finalising what you already have. This means that the uncertainty over what you are going to present has to decrease (until it reaches zero)\nThe tipping point\nSo the general trend is for research to become more complex and uncertain over time, but in order to finish you need to reduce the complexity.\nTherefore, there must be a tipping-point somewhere. A point where you stop creating new work and put what you have into a submissible form.\nThis means you have to be decisive about what you are going to include and what you are going to leave out. You need to be absolutely certain what your research questions are, what theories your work relies upon, what kind of analysis you are doing, what your main arguments are, and so on.\nOnly once you have made those clear decisions can you start the process of finishing. It is about reducing the uncertainty about what you are going to say.\nWhen does the tipping point occur?\nThe amount of stress in the final months is determined by how close the tipping point is to the submission date.\nIf you are 2 weeks from submission, and you are uncertain about your analysis, then there is a high degree of uncertainty very late. Since your discussion and conclusions depend upon the analysis, then you won’t be able to commit to anything!\nSo the earlier you get some certainty about what you want to say and how, the better.\nHow to apply this practically\n- Analyse data as early as possible, don’t leave it until you have to write about it\n- Present and discuss your work early, get feedback\n- Decide on your strongest material\n- Decide what not to pursue\n- Have a rough thesis structure in mind; focus on gathering what you need\n- Set a date to stop gathering new material/ data\n- Set a submission date if you don’t already have one\n- When you write, try to finish each section so that it looks submissible\n- Stick to what you know best!\nHow do you know you have enough?\nAfter several years working in the field, you should know what other researchers around the world have done.\nIs your work comparable to the average published work in the field? Is it competitive? Does it add something of interest to other academics?\nYou have to believe it is good enough in order to convince anyone else, and the only way to do this is to look at the published literature.\nThe risk…\nSubmitting a thesis means facing the judgement of the examiners. This can be a terrifying thought, but it’s unavoidable.\nI dealt with this fear by telling myself that I didn’t care what the examiners thought, and that if I failed then it wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen and that I would be OK.\nTrust in your ability to cope with whatever happens. It will be OK!\nGreat article James.\nI’m due to submit my PhD thesis in 4 months’ time. Thankfully (or rather mercifully), I reached my tipping point late last year, and it’s been relatively smooth journal down the Y-axis of uncertainty. I’m actually enjoying the final write-up stage – bringing something to completion after so many years, and having confidence that I’ve made a worthwhile contribution to my field.\nKeep up the great work here.\nGreat! Best of luck with the final push\nHi James. Thanks for helping me form a clear mental image – the tipping point.\nI was wondering if you had any thoughts or advice on the sandwich PhD – when you publish articles as you go along and then wrap them up into a PhD with a kappa text. I’m struggling to get my head straight on the pro’s and con’s of how often/early to publish and the best strategy in this case. It’s obviously good practice to have to analyse, write and publish and, of course, it’s good to get feedback from the community. However, I’m a bit worried about having so many small peaks (tipping points for each publication) that the height of the peak isn’t tall enough – i.e. I don’t dig into anything enough. How can I get the best out of this approach?\nEarly in the PhD, it’s harder to get published because you have less experience and knowledge in the field- you don’t yet know what the standard is. That doesn’t mean you can’t publish, but you’ll need some guidance from your supervisor.\nBasically you need to be able to asses the quality of the work relative to what is being published in the field. There is no hard rule with regards to how early or often to publish, but you think you have some good results, then publish!"}

{"text": ".\n“It was a mistake. It’s almost taken Florida out of play,” said Randy Osborne, chairman of the Marion County Republican Executive Committee, who has been trading messages with other local leaders.\nCampaigns are reluctant to talk about their plans but some are clearly questioning if it’s worth engaging in a big, expensive state with two favorite-son candidates, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.\nOsborne, a supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said Republicans in his area are “all kind of like 'Wow, how come candidates aren’t spending money here? Where’s the signs, the bumper stickers?’ And that’s not just Cruz.”\nCriticism is apparent across Florida even as the state GOP chairman relented on a hardball gambit to force candidates to show up for a summit in November or be excluded from the March 15 primary ballot — itself a sign of the reluctance from candidates.\nNo one is saying it’s the winner-take-all but they sure are finding a lot of excuses not to come.\nMike Lyster, Republican chairman in Collier County\nIt’s entirely possible Bush and Rubio will be locked in a Florida battle royale that would cost tens of millions of dollars, so rival campaigns are looking at Florida with some caution, if relief.\n“No one is saying it’s the winner-take-all but they sure are finding a lot of excuses not to come,” said Mike Lyster, Republican chairman in Collier County, adding that grassroots activists are itching to help out their chosen candidates.\nHe has raised objections with state GOP officials. “Some of us are saying, 'Gee, maybe this wasn’t in our best interest.’ ” On the other hand, Lyster said he understood the need for candidates to accumulate large pockets of delegates and avoid a protracted nominating process.\nIt’s early, of course, and candidates are focusing on the first nominating states. Some certainly won’t be around by the end of the year. “We’re going to be the ones that put the Republican nominee in the White House,” said state chairman Blaise Ingoglia.\nIngoglia’s November “Sunshine Summit” was struggling to attract candidates other than Bush and Rubio and then he came up with the idea to prevent anyone who skips from appearing on the ballot. An uproar ensued and Ingoglia backed off somewhat. Now candidates can show up at the summit or pay $25,000 or gather nearly 3,400 signatures from Republican voters.\nLast week the party announced it had secured commitments from Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham, in addition to Bush and Rubio. Trump, Bush and Rubio alone makes for a lively event sure to generate national media attention.\nBut that doesn’t mean candidates are eager to spend significant resources in the state or that activists are satisfied. The summit will for the first time in recent cycles not feature a straw poll, which made campaigns focus on organization and excited the grassroots.\nThe flip side is that it was won by Herman Cain in 2012 and he became punch line.\nIn 2008, Florida was eager to seize the spotlight. Led by then-state House Speaker Rubio, who said the state’s size and diversity were more relevant than the mostly white electorates in Iowa and New Hampshire, the primary was moved up to Jan. 29.\nThat triggered national GOP sanctions and effectively made the state winner-take-all.\nWe should have gone as early as we could and we should have fought any effort of the national party to punish us for representing common sense.\nGOP strategist Brian Hughes\nThe 2012 primary also was accelerated and “properly reflects the importance Florida will play on the national stage,” a state official said at the time. The move incensed people in Iowa and New Hampshire.\nThis election, the Republican National Committee worked to control rogue states, threatening deeper retribution. Twelve states jumped ahead of Florida with a March 1 primary. The catch is their delegates will be awarded proportionally, meaning candidates who place well will come away with something vs. a winner-take-all structure for Florida and other states that hold primaries March 15 or later.\n“A lot of candidates are saying 'Let’s come up with a plan on how to win enough delegates without spending all the money in Florida,’ ” said Osborne, the Marion County official.\n“We should have gone as early as we could and we should have fought any effort of the national party to punish us for representing common sense,” said GOP strategist Brian Hughes, a Bush supporter.\nStill, he agrees with the winner-take-all approach. “It represents the boldness of what the state is.,” Hughes said. “We should be a big prize.”\nIngoglia is confident candidates will come.\n“Florida is not only a crucial swing state. It’s also a test of organizational strength,” he said. “The person who can mount a good ground game here in Florida is a campaign that’s going to be ready for the general election.”\nThe March 15 date was set by the Legislature and the winner-take-all was approved in May by the state GOP executive board.\nThough no one publicly said so, that was widely viewed as a gift to Bush. After Bush signaled he was likely to run in late 2014, most of the GOP political establishment assumed Rubio would not challenge him.\nNow both Bush and Rubio trail Trump in Florida polls.\n“There were some unintended consequences,” Alachua County GOP Chairman Stafford Jones said. “Most of the other, non-Florida candidates have said Florida is not really a priority. They haven’t spent as much time here. Then Donald Trump comes along and changes all the rules of the game, and even Marco and Jeb are struggling to have a frontrunner status in their home state.”\nMark Fisher, a lawyer and member of the Lake County Republican Executive Committee who opposes the move, complained to Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi at a recent party gathering, but he was told she could not get involved in a partisan issue. Fisher said there’s still talk of a challenge, though there doesn’t appear to be much momentum.\nReferring to his candidate, Cruz, Fisher said: “He’s committed to be in Florida but maybe not with the same vigor or energy. You have to pick your battles when you don’t have infinite resources.”\n“Looking forward, we certainly need to take a look at whether winner-take-all makes sense for Florida,” said Nick DiCeglie, GOP chairman in Pinellas County. “Some of the candidates our grassroots activists were looking forward to getting an opportunity to see and meet, they’re not getting that opportunity.”\nContact Alex Leary at aleary@tampabay.com.

{"text": "Controversial anti-obesity ad garners mixed reaction in Halifax\nHALIFAX – An anti-obesity ad is making waves for its dramatic message, but health experts in Halifax are concerned it is doing so for the wrong reasons.\nThe PSA shows a man suffering a heart attack before flashing back to scenes showing him sipping soda, eating French fries and ordering take-out.\nThe video, created by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, warms parents that they need to reverse their kids’ unhealthy eating habits.\nBut Dr. Michael Vallis, a health psychologist, said the ad is misguided.\n“The real power behind this message is fear.

They feel bad about themselves for [doing it],” he said. “There’s no guidance as to how they might make changes and be supported in making changes.”\n“How can we organize a consistent and collaborative approach that tries to help people make personal choices that feel empowering to them and they can then be supported by others?”\nJessie-Lee McIsaac, a post-doctoral research fellow with the School of Health and Human Performance at Dalhousie University, said the video has shock value that doesn’t encourage behavioural changes.\n“It simplifies [obesity] as ‘you need to eat better and move more’. If the solution to [being] overweight and obesity was that simple, we wouldn’t have this epidemic,” she said.\nMcIsaac said one-third of children in Nova Scotia are overweight or obese, and the high number stems from several factors including a car culture and expensive healthy foods.\nShe said the video waters down a complex issue.\n“When we think about a child, it’s not only their parents that contribute to their behaviour and need to set good role modeling,” she said, adding that schools, public health policy and other factors can influence children.\nThe video elicited mixed reactions from Halifax residents.\n“It hits home pretty hard for me,” said Rob MacNeish, a 29-year-old who recently had a family member pass away from complications related to obesity.\n“I think it takes away, for lack of a better word, the sugarcoating on how people deal with obesity,” he said.\n“This is how intense it can be. It’s not body-shaming, but it’s getting real about what it is to be obese and to have health complications.”\nMacNeish said he’s been taking proactive steps to improve his health since his relative died — healthy habits he hopes to pass onto his five-year-old son.\nResident Katie Glen said she found the ad offensive.\n“It just contributes to this whole idea that people who are overweight deserve all the health problems they have because they brought it on themselves by making poor health choices,” she said.\n“It doesn’t address any of the other factors that might be a part of why someone is obese. I don’t really think the way to get people to eat healthier is to portray overweight people as these gluttonous pigs who can’t control themselves.”\nWhile the verdict on the video is still out, Vallis said the spot is a good talking point for parents, especially with back-to-school right around the corner.\nHe said the key is to make the healthy option the simplest.\n“How can we work together to make that harder choice — to be more healthy — the more easy choice for people?”."}
{"text": "Uddhav Thackeray received a ballad from his diehard supporters on Monday, portraying him as an aggressive successor to his father; its also includes Hindi lyrics to appeal to a ‘large section of the audience’, says composer\nOn his 55th birthday on Monday, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray received a novel gift from his diehard supporters a ballad composed in his honour. The video portrays the Sena president as an aggressive successor to his father, and a gentleman who not only takes his politics seriously but also pursues his hobbies passionately.\nShiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray greets well-wishers gathered to celebrate his 55th birthday at his residence Matoshree in Kalanagar, yesterday. Pic/Pradeep Dhivar\nThe interesting thing about the ballad, ‘Ala rey ala kon ala, Shiv Senecha wagh ala (the Sena’s tiger has come)’, is that the lyrics change into Hindi in the middle of the song. The Marathi mukhda (opening stanza) melds with Mumbai’s oft-spoken Hindi.\nThis appears a welcome change in the party’s policy, which otherwise swears by Marathi and the cause of the ‘sons of the soil’. Umesh Wagh, a former employee of the National Insurance Company who has composed the two-song video and written its lyrics as well, said the Marathi-Hindi combination was deliberate because he wanted to cater to non-Marathi speaking Sena supporters who adore Uddhav Thackeray.\n“It isn’t that only Marathi people are Sena’s supporters. The lyrics can be understood by a large section of the audience,” he said. Wagh said his team wanted to tell the people that Uddhav has fittingly replaced the late Bal Thackeray as the party’s chief.\n“Uddhavji has been at the forefront in all agitations and elections. He has single-handedly performed exceedingly well on all fronts. He has sealed the mouths of his detractors.” Wagh, along with Komal Tendulkar and Milind More, have lent their voices. Graphic artiste Pritam Soni has put the videos together by using film footage from various sources.\nSena’s senior leaders Anil Parab and Prasad Ayare (also the producer) have supported the team all along. Wagh said the Sena chief was happy to see his personal and political journey. The video has the footage of Uddhav shooting the state’s ancient forts and Pandharpur vaari from helicopter, his walkthroughs in the farms owned by distressed farmers, leading protests and making a point at political rallies.\nIt also depicts the Sena’s history in very brief in the beginning. The video has also been uploaded on video-sharing website YouTube. Nearly 500 compact discs were gifted to the Sainiks after the party chief was shown the 6-minute number at his Kala Nagar residence on Monday. The same team had also composed a song after Sena supreme Bal Thackeray’s passing, and this song has also been included on the CDs."}

Then I got sick last week and some odd throat virus knocked me on my tail.\nYesterday, I was finally feeling like myself again (thank you giant pink antibiotics), so I went for a run. Great. One day down, 29 to go.\nThis morning, my alarm went off at 7AM and I hit snooze like a million times. I didn’t wan to get up I just kept sleeping.\nNow if this has never happened to you, let me explain. I feel happy when I’m jogging. I feel great after I jog.

{"text": "* required fields\n08/15/2012\nSPARTANBURG, SC -- Following a rigorous peer review process, Converse College's program of interior design has been awarded accreditation by the Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).\nSix institutions nationwide received CIDA accreditation this year, including the Academy of Art University (CA), Art Institute of California, Drexel University (PA), Mississippi College (MS), and Sam Houston State University (TX). Converse becomes one of only two accredited programs in South Carolina and 178 accredited programs worldwide.\nAccording to CIDA, achieving accreditation is a strong signal of a program's commitment to delivering a quality professional-level education that prepares students for interior design practice. Programs seeking accreditation voluntarily place themselves before the scrutiny of interior design profession by participating in a rigorous peer review process. This process requires a thorough self-evaluation of compliance with CIDA Professional Standards and an extensive display of student work for CIDA's review, both of which are the basis for accreditation decision by CIDA's Accreditation Commission.\nCIDA-accredited programs provide thorough preparation for the certification exam administered by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), which provides necessary credentials for graduates to practice as professionals.\nRuth Beals, coordinator of the Interior Design Program at Converse, led the intensive faculty and student effort to prepare for and undergo the accreditation review process. \"The process included a demanding and continuous self-study that insured the interior design program improved each year, by reviewing what we taught, how we taught it and the success of the students' learning,\" she says. \"The CIDA team worked long hours throughout their three-day visit and were very thorough. They do this work voluntarily in order to promote excellence in interior design education.\"\nBeals and her colleagues are pleased to have had 99 out of 101 CIDA's expectations to be fully met during the review process—an uncommon accomplishment. The CIDA visiting team noted the following as particular strengths of the Converse curriculum:\n-Sustainability\n-Globalization in design practice\n-Teamwork\n-Multi-disciplinary collaboration\n-Written communication\n-Verbal presentation while integrating their drawings, materials and finishes\n-Fabrication and installation of materials\n-Lighting design\n\"CIDA-accreditation assures the public that interior design education prepares students to be responsible, well-informed, skilled professionals who make beautiful, safe, and comfortable spaces that respect the earth and its resources. It assures students that our program meets the highest standards and that what they will learn is what they will use in the profession,\" says Beals.\nInterior Design: Defined\n\"Many people use the terms 'interior design' and 'interior decorating' interchangeably, but these professions differ in critical ways,\" according to the NCDIQ. .\"\nThe Converse College Interior Design Program\nThe Converse Interior Design Program is directed toward both the residential and commercial aspects of interior design, incorporating historical background, environmental considerations, drawing proficiency, technical knowledge and presentation methods with an emphasis on creativity and professional practice.\nConverse has prioritized partnerships with such industry leaders as Hubbell Lighting, which hosts Converse students for seminars at their Lighting Solutions Center; NXT Health, which involved Converse students in flooring research for its award-winning Patient Room 2020 project. \"The opportunity for Converse students to put their knowledge into practice, to work alongside professionals, and to see firsthand how collaboration among experts from complimentary fields can result in meaningful innovation is an important part of their educational experience,\" says Beals.\nThe Converse program also benefits from close proximity to many historic sites in the Spartanburg area, affording on-site experiences as students study historical preservation, restoration, recreation, and adaptive reuse of campus and community projects.\nOver the last three years, Converse interior design majors have enrolled in graduate programs at the New York School of Interior Design, The Academy of Art (CA), Corcoran College of Art & Design, (DC), Savannah College of Art and Design (GA) and Clemson University (SC). Recent graduates are employed with firms such as John Bossard Design, Rowan Company, Alfred Williams, Palmetto Interiors and Young Office, among others."}

{"text": "\|\nINTRODUCTION\n\|\nFORUM\n\|\nESSAYS\n\|\nBACKGROUND\n\"To teach the craft of journalism is a worthy goal but clearly insufficient in this new world and within the setting of a great university,\" Lee Bollinger has said. What do you think?\nAMY ATKINS\n\"So why not save time and money and learn journalism in the real world? Because the real world sucks.\"\nDuh. Of course we ought to do more than beat rules and regulations into our students, play \"pretend\" journalism, and teach students in a year what a rookie reporter can learn in a month on the job. Certainly we ought to offer rigorous courses worthy of the university we are housed in. I don't know about the \"new world\" part of it; I think his statement has ever been thus.\nI was all set to bash craft, to put in a plea for art, for upping the intellectual ante, for the encouragement of individual voices and thinkers and double majors and deep inquiry. But a funny thing happened on my way to this forum. An instructor broke her leg and I inherited G54.1070.01, the first time graduate broadcast students bang out a newscast. From basic questions of what constitutes news to clear, concise writing to accuracy to ethics, my syllabus is steeped in craft; I feel compelled to say a few words on behalf of the basics.\nIn an ideal world a student would enter the workplace with a general understanding of the world and its various histories, and have a deep understanding of a few subjects (that is, be college graduate). Then, at his or her first job, and under the tutelage of experienced, caring mentors, this smart person would learn how to write and report well, with confidence and conscience.\nSo why not save time and money and learn journalism in the real world? Because the real world sucks. I've been there, anchoring newscasts in places where duping wire copy into the teleprompter is considered writing. When I was a rookie reporter in New York, a prominent anchor yelled at me for using \"allegedly\" while covering the Central Park jogger trial because \"everyone knows those creeps are guilty.\" He was one of my alleged mentors. And as corporate synergy and ratings pressure infect the business daily, perhaps j-school can inoculate young journalists to the diseases eating the flesh out of what could be the most important force outside government: the Fourth Estate.\nHow do we get students to find their own voice and do responsible journalism about important ideas and events they feel passionately about? Stay tuned. We're working on it.\nAmy Atkins, an adjunct instructor at NYU, has been anchor for CNN, Court TV and MSNBC and a correspondent for ABC News.\nELLEN WILLIS\n\"J-school ideology sees hard news reporting as the essential initiation rite that defines a real journalist.\"\nI agree with Bollinger that training in journalistic \"craft,\" as currently conceived at Columbia and other mainstream journalism schools, does not in itself fulfill the intellectual mission of the university. But his formulation implies that the problems of conventional journalism education can be solved by \"craft plus\" combining journalism training with a traditional discipline or some other recognized academic body of knowledge. The school's new acting dean, David Klatell, has reinforced that impression by reassuring Columbia journalism faculty and alumni that \"What Bollinger's talking about is an expansion of what we do.\" If so, he is making a serious mistake. The journalism curriculum needs to be rethought, not just added to.\nThe J-school concept of craft is highly problematic, based as it is on a narrow, ideological conception of journalism. Journalism \"boot camp\" mainly teaches the practice and ethos of a specific journalistic genre, that of daily newspaper reporting. As the military metaphor suggests, it holds out the promise that from the rigors of reporting and writing on deadline the professional journalist is forged. Philosophically, daily newswriting is positivist: the reporter is a transparent mediator between the reader and \"the facts,\" which are out there, independent of his/her existence. The reporter's goal is \"objectivity,\" which requires the purging of any hint of an individual voice or perspective. Questions about the nature of observation, and the extent to which it necessarily creates facts rather than simply recording them are elided, as are the difficulties that arise in separating \"fact\" from \"analysis.\"\nOne can argueand I would largely agreethat these assumptions, as well as the terseness of newswriting and stylistic conventions like the inverted pyramid, are essential to an enterprise that seeks to nail down, for the reader and the public record, the maximum amount of information about events with the amazing speed a daily deadline entails. One has only to contemplate the contents of newspapers last September 12 to recognize the power of the craft of hard news reporting. The problem with the j-school boot camp is that the skills thus imparted are presented not as necessary, if limited, conventions of daily newswriting but as the essence of journalism itself. Reflecting the attitudes of the elite newspaper establishment that promoted journalism education in the first place, j-school ideology sees hard news reporting as the essential initiation rite that defines a real journalist. It resists any insight into the limitations of newswriting skills and implicitly or openly belittles the very different kinds of craft required of journalists who write literary and personal essays, political and cultural criticism, and in-depth magazine or book-length reportage. It treats the individual voice of the writer as an enemy to be stamped out, rather than a potential to be cultivated. It disdains commentary as \"thumbsucking.\" In short, its view of \"the craft of journalism\" is inherently anti-intellectual, whether or not supplemented with academic subjects.\nThe first step toward reinventing the journalism curriculum is to recognize that serious journalism--in all its genres and forms--is in itself an intellectual activity. While it may draw on academic knowledge, it has its own distinct character as an intellectual enterprise: it is a transdisciplinary inquiry into the present, which takes place not in scholarly journals but in a non-specialized public conversation. A serious journalist is by definition that figure so much discussed in the academythe public intellectual. Craft is integral to all kinds of journalismas it is, for that matter, to scholarshipbut it is a means to an end: promoting a rich, nuanced, complex and diverse public conversation on contemporary affairs. How can journalism education contribute to this end? This is the fundamental question Columbia and all journalism programs must address.\nEllen Willis is a professor of journalism at NYU and director of the Department's Cultural Reporting and Criticism program. Her latest book is\nDon't Think, Smile: Notes on a Decade of Denial.\nPAMELA NEWKIRK\n\"When newsroom practices violate basic tenets of decency, or even the law, most are unfazed unless theirs becomes one of the case studies journalism students examine.\"\nThe raging debate over the merits of journalism education has left many of my colleagues on the defensive or, worse yet, silenced. Some have quietly wondered if the critics are correct when they suggest that a journalism education has no place in the academy and simply forestalls for students more valuable experience to be found in the newsroom.\nSome of my colleagues have even lent credence to a wayward belief that J-school students spend most of their time in the classroom learning craft, rather than on scholarly pursuits. These J-school bashers would turn superb journalism programs at schools like Columbia University and New York Universitywhere students are steeped in the social, political, legal, historical and literary traditions of journalisminto sterile media studies programs that are cordoned off from the dynamic and crucial field of journalism.\nI have practiced daily journalism and pursued scholarly research on the news media, and I am perplexed by the debate. Given the vital role of journalism in our democracy, I can only wonder why its merits as a scholarly pursuit are not instantly grasped. Learning the who, what, where when and why of journalismor the craftis, in itself, of value, but is merely a fraction of what students learn in any credible journalism program.\nIn addition to learning important writing, research and analytical skills which are valuable in any number of fields, our students constantly examine the ethical, legal and moral challenges that they will surely encounter in the newsroom. During my own experience in four different newsrooms, little time was devoted to the weighty issues of journalism ethics or even the brilliance and inherent complexities of the First Amendment. Most working journalists spend less time pondering even the worst common newsroom practices than they do hustling to get a story. When newsroom practices violate basic tenets of decency, or even the law, most are unfazed unless theirs becomes one of the case studies journalism students examine. For many working journalists, their daily decisions are governed less by ethical principles and familiarity with First Amendment law, than by deadlines.\nIn their defense, most young journalists, eager to please their editors, are not sufficiently grounded in history, the First Amendment or ethical principles to challenge those who would have them peak through windows, sift through someone's trash or stick microphones in the faces of parents who just lost their children. Given the race to fill air time and newspaper columns, few have time to consider the decisions they make, and those they'll have to make in the future. Racial, gender and religious stereotypes and unseemly practices are rewarded with front-page by-lines. And given the import of their jobs, our very democracy hangs in the balance.\nTo suggest, as some have, that the newsroom is the best place to groom young journalists ignores the quest by some of us to raise the standards of journalism and to underscore its essential role in a democracy. My students are challenged to not only absorb current practices, but also to critique and explore better alternatives to sticky dilemmas. Fortified with an ethical, moral, historical, legal and literary framework, it is hoped that some of our students will become dynamic newsroom leaders who, when confronted with stories like the Monica Lewinsky/President Clinton scandal would approach it with more grace and intelligence than even some of our best news organizations did. Likewise, it is my hope and expectation that some of my students will be among those who will challenge their editors to cover individuals and communities with greater depth and sensitivity, and without the racial, religious and gender biases that continues to mar so much otherwise worthy journalism.\nWhile it is true that an economics major can learn aspects of the craft well enough to become a journalist, it is also true that one who is exposed to the historical, legal, and ethical underpinnings of journalism will be better poised to practice more thoughtful and responsible journalism. Given the increasingly celebrity-saturated coverage dictated more by business than public service values, journalism is at a crossroads. Needed more than ever are professionals prepared to handle increasingly complex issues while recognizing the vital public service they perform. Where better than the academy to prepare the next generation of newsroom practitioners and leaders?\nPamela Newkirk is associate professor of journalism at New York University and the author of\nWithin the Veil: Black Journalists, White Media.\nHer articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, The Washington Post and Artnews, among others.\nJACOB NOVAK\n\"...Let's offer experienced journalists the management training they'll need to make the improvements...\"\nBollinger has it partly right. It is insufficient to teach\nonly\nthe craft of journalism without giving would-be journalists the expertise in the basic issues they hope to report on in the future. Further, we must offer experienced journalists the rudimentary and theoretical training to become the editors-in-chief and news directors of the future... in essence an \"MBA\" school for journalists.\nSchools like NYU and Northwestern have addressed the need to give journalists relative expertise in another field by requiring undergraduates to combine their journalism major with at least a concentration in another discipline. But this is not enough. The lack of beat reporting in TV and radio news continues to result in the unhappy combination of misinformed reporters misinforming the already-misinformed public. Newspapers following the beat reporting system offer much better-informed coverage, but even the best beat reporters are often ill-equipped to cover specific issues within their beats that require a true expert's knowledge. One thing that all undergraduate schools should be doing immediately is offering basic communications-skills course to seniors majoring in other fields. I would guess such courses would easily become some of the most popular choices for those seniors. Even well-established doctors and lawyers often jump at the chance to appear as experts or even full-time reporters at newspapers and on TV despite being forced to take a pay cut. In other words, let's train the biology, government, drama and foreign language majors how to communicate for print and broadcast journalism before they become too entrenched in their own field's culture and jargon. Even if only a small number of them decide to pursue journalism as a career, we could improve the quality of the business exponentially.\nBut that brings us to phase II. It won't do us much good to have hundreds of issue-expert journalists out there if the current media outlets aren't prepared to use them properly. That's where our graduate schools come in. Instead of teaching basic journalism skills coupled with post-graduate level theoretical discussions about first amendment issues, let's offer experienced journalists the management training they'll need to make the improvements we all hope to see in print and broadcast journalism. One management method we must drum into the heads of such students is the desperate need for the beat reporting structure in all our newsrooms. This may seem too vocational to people like Lee Bollinger, but it's dangerous to underestimate the serious need for better journalism in this country and throughout the world. In some ways, this is a continuation of an argument that's been raging for centuries: Should our academic institutions remain cloistered enclaves where the privileged few discuss the issues, or should they look to offer real guidance and training for the rest of the world? As journalists and educators we should all be against the \"cloistered enclave\" option, lest we end up training and adding to the legion off feckless media critics who never offer experienced, working journalists the tools they need to make things right.\nJacob Novak is producer for CNN Financial News and an adjunct instructor at NYU.\nWILLIAM BURROWS\n\"Reporters and editors who lack that background knowledge are manipulable to a very dangerous extent and therefore are a menace.\"\nLee Bollinger is right to want a penetrating look at how Columbia teaches reporters and editors, and I think the \"trade school\" approach, as it has been practiced there and elsewhere, does not serve either journalism or its multiple audiences.\nI have taken the position since I came to NYU in 1974 that journalists ought to have the widest possible exposure to the arts and sciences, and made that point repeatedly when I was director of undergraduate studies and then chairman. The Science and Environmental Reporting Program very much reflects that philosophy. Science Survey, our year-long smorgasbord and hard science sampler, attests to that. So does another requirement, Press Ethics, which is really philosophy for journalists.\nThe \"trade school\" approach is too narrow to equip journalists with the range of political, historical, economic, sociological and other knowledge areas with which they must be familiar to find meaning in what they cover and put it in perspective. Without that broader perspective and real knowledge about their areas, they are reduced to be robots who can be manipulated by the subjects of their stories.\nMy daughter is a physician specializing in urogynecology. While she obviously has to have very great background in the technical wherewithal to do surgery on a uterus, knowing her patient's politics, social history, criminal record, and so forth has no bearing on the operation. But it is very relevant for anyone who reports news to the public. It is absolutely imperative to know where George W. Bush, or any president, is \"coming from\" when he tries to state his political agenda to the country and the world beyond. Reporters and editors who lack that background knowledge are manipulable to a very dangerous extent and therefore are a menace. So say I.\nWilliam E. Burrows is the director of Science and Environmental Reporting Program at NYU. His most recent book is\nBy Any Means Necessary: America's Secret Air War in the Cold War.\nROBERT S. BOYNTON\n\"Journalism schools need to rethink their identities, both professionally and intellectually.\"\nLee Bollinger's decision to suspend the search for a new journalism school dean reflects a larger confusion in the \"discipline\" of journalism (the very question of whether it is a discipline being one of the most confusing elements). Bollinger rightly asks whether journalism schools are trade schools or centers of genuine intellectual activity. His implication is that if they are\nonly\nthe former, then they don't belong in a \"great university.\" On this point it is notable that of the other Ivies none have journalism schools or departments. Clearly Columbia is the exception, not the rule.\nThe \"crisis\" of journalism education has a lot to do with the crisis in media in general. There are few really good jobs, whether at newspapers or magazines, for new graduates. And Bollinger's question about whether \"craft\" is enough gets to the heart of the issue. What kind of a craft environment are we training our students for? And what resemblance does our training (which includes in-depth research and reporting, structuring lengthy pieces, etc.) bear to the impoverished (both culturally and economically) media world they will enter? Why teach students how to fashion their ideas and literary sensibility in such a peg- and celebrity-driven environment? There are barely a handful of magazines that still publish ambitious, lengthy non-fiction. Some mid-career applicants to NYU's magazine program have never published a piece longer than 1000 words. To say that there is a \"disconnect\" there is to understate the problem dramatically.\nMy \"solution\" to the problem has several parts.\nJournalism schools might start to redefine their mission along the lines of law schools and/or creative writing programs. Even though the majority of lawyers will end up doing tedious legal work (trusts and estates, etc.), they are\nall\nrequired to analyze the very greatest legal decisions in American history. Law schools don't tailor their education to the marketplace (graduates of Harvard and Yale law schools are famous for failing the state bar exams). Rather, they assume a marketplace exists for their product, which is high quality intellectual capital stuff the practice of law won't get you.\nAnd creative writing programs don't lead their applicants to assume that they will all get published. The aim of these programs is to improve a writer's work, move her towards excellence in her craft. Publishing is something that nearly everyone desires, but an MFA program isn't judged a failure if only a small percentage of its graduates excel and become \"name\" writers. That is the norm.\nThe portfolio program at NYU is an experiment that takes these ideas into consideration. It is designed to educate journalists in a way that is both conservative and revolutionary: Conservative in that it emphasizes knowledge of various journalistic traditions, basic literary skills, and practical outcomes (a.k.a. getting published) and revolutionary in that we are going to pursue these goals without primary emphasis on the \"boot-camp\" model (\"skills\" courses, \"content\" courses, etc.) that has dominated journalism education for the last half century. We have another metaphor: the body of work.\nApplicants come to us with a proposal (much as an MFA applicant who wants to write a novel would submit several short stories), and then we work with them to develop it. The outcome is a collection of polished, though not necessarily published, pieces of work: essays, reports, criticism, reviews, documentaries, book proposals, etc. The goal of students in the program is to create a body of work. One of our goals is to set the bar high.\nJournalism schools need to rethink their identities, both professionally and intellectually. Bollinger's criticism is born of his idealism and high expectations for journalism. He fears that the journalism schooland, by extension, journalism itself--has lost touch with its idealism and sense of mission. These are precisely the questions we should be considering. Perhaps it took an \"outsider\" to pose them.\nRobert S. Boynton directs the graduate magazine journalism program at NYU. He has written about culture and ideas for The New Yorker (where he has been a contributing editor) and Harper's (where he has been a senior editor), among other publications.\nMICHAEL NORMAN\n\"The debate this time is no different, just louder and, I submit, a colossal distraction from the real issue, a problem as old as the academy: what does it mean to be 'educated?'\"\nThe Bollinger imbroglio is, of course, political: a new university president looking for a foil to give his nascent administration the kind of drama that generates publicity. Journalism is his straw man, the raggedy apostate that threatens the ethereal tower.\nI am, of course, overstating the case, in much the same way the debate is overblown, and, oh, so familiar. In the academic venues where \"journalism,\" (whatever that term means) is taught, there has always been a kind of perverse unilateralism, or at least tribalism, tearing at the house. Academics versus professionals, theorists versus practitioners, the cosseted savant nose-to-nose with the street reporter.\nThe debate this time is no different, just louder and, I submit, a colossal distraction from the real issue, a problem as old as the academy: what does it mean to be \"educated?\" I don't know the answer, yet, but perhaps by debunking the debate, I can at least clear the ground for those who want to return to the important business of thinking about students instead of the pointless politics of the academy or the intellectual anemia of a compositional form (That crumbling Sphinx, That hoary triangular monoliththe Inverted Pyramid) that merits less than five minutes of anyone's time.\nBecause the debate is political, it is often more an exercise in dogma than an exploration of ideas and professional practice. To label a particular program as a \"boot camp\" or \"trade school\" is ad hominum nonsense. And to suggest that journalism education is built on the simple task of reporting and writing the news, is to ignore the evidence of the many fine courses in law, ethics, science, business and, yes, literature that are part of most J-School curriculums.\nThe students are cheated by this debate, cheated because no oneagain, I overstate the caseno one in journalism education is thinking about the cognitive principles essential to good course design. We know what we should be teaching, reading and writing, and it makes little difference whether we teach the reading and writing of news stories, essays, arts criticism, business writing or left-handed wind shifting. If we would spend as much time fine tuning our teaching as we do arguing about what we should teach, then journalism would be \"intellectual\" enough for everyoneespecially our customers, our students.\nMichael Norman, a member of the NYU Journalism faculty, is hopelessly lost in history of WWII in the Pacific, sent there by Farrar, Straus & Giroux to discover why in the spring of 1942 America suffered its greatest defeat.\nELLEN POSNER\n\"When I read some of the most prominent U.S. newspapers, I find, increasingly, that I cannot even figure out what happened.\"\nYes, teaching of \"craft\" is insufficient. Why would anyone think otherwise? But I do not think that craft should be belittled. It is an important underpinning. (Cultural criticism, at it best, relies upon research, fact checking and interviewing skills combined with intellectual rigor and with expertise) Also, it seems to me that teaching of craft probably encourages some very smart young people to believe, at an early, stage, that they can have a career in journalism. We need them.\nIn reply to Lee Bollinger's questions about future direction, I think that NYU is already answering some of them. Locating journalism within the Faculty of Arts & Science is appropriate, as is the requirement that students also have a minor in another area. That engagement with the liberal arts tradition might be stressed even more. More economics, philosophy, history, art, languages, international experienceso that exposure to the disciplines enables the students to make judgments. The practice of journalism is an intellectual enterprise. And it is urgently important.\nPowers of observation, and the ability to think, write, penetrate complexities, construct a coherent report or a clear argument are necessary for first-rate journalism. Journalists translate for others, and there is no such thing as a well written piece with \"no voice.\" There is no such thing as \"just the facts.\" Choices and distinctions always have to be made. I find that my NYU students are eager to test themselves in this way. And even for some of my students who may not continue in journalism, I think that what they have learned to do constitutes a transferable skill and a meaningful accomplishment.\nWhen I read some of the most prominent U.S. newspapers, I find, increasingly, that I cannot even figure out what happened. The event itself is insufficiently explained or mentioned, or there is no comprehensible time sequence or any explanation of who is who. I began writing as a critic because I thought the criticism I was reading was awful. This might not be a bad motive for some of our students today.\nEllen Posner is the fomer architecture critic for The Wall Street Journal and a contributor to The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic and ARTnews, among others. She teaches Critical Writing to undergraduates at NYU.\nDAVID HOLMBERG\n\"I was better served by concentrating on journalism and the rest of the liberal arts, and learning later what I needed to learn about the beat.\"\nI have inordinate respect for academics, but I try to avoid overestimating them. One has to be receptive to President Bollinger for no other reason than his power, but I don't think we can assume that he's going to frame the debate any more intelligently or productively than his peers and predecessors. If he can, then he's on to something, and we should listen carefully, maybe even act. If he's merely dabbling intellectually in another profession (or craft, as he prefers to call it), then I think we should be routinely attentive because of his position, while hoping that he soon moves on to something else.\nMentioned in the reactions to Bollinger's announcement was the possibility of journalism students taking courses in the medical school. This could conceivably be useful, but it seems unlikely that we need\nthat\nlevel of specialization to produce good reporters. One of the best experiences of my career was covering AIDS for New York Newsday for two years, and I began that assignment with no medical background. I learned the beat, however, by covering countless medical conferences and seminars and interviewing many very impressive health professionals. I doubt if I would have done a better job on this assignment if I'd taken a couple of courses at the University of Minnesota medical school. I was better served by concentrating on journalism and the rest of the liberal arts, and learning later what I needed to learn about the beat that I was fortunate enough to be assigned to, at a very fine newspaper with a number of excellent Columbia graduates.\nDavid Holmberg, an instructor at NYU, is a former reporter for New York Newsday and a former senior editor of The Village Voice.\nEVE HEYN\n\"Right now, Columbia students are fanning out to Corona, Crown Heights, Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge, as they prepare their 'beat notes' on stories about these communities.\"\nWhen NYU and Columbia grads walk into newsrooms across the country, editors expect that they can handle the basics; that they know how to write compelling, clean copy on deadline. This takes practice. Indeed, 10-months of running off to cover news in New York City is barely enough time to give grads a foundation for their first jobs, where their skills will skyrocket. Thus, any move to expand the academic component should in no way dilute the skills side.\nAfter all, graduate students have selected Columbia and NYU because they want to be working journalists. (On the other hand, undergraduate journalism students at all universities should take only a few skills classes.) For those who want to study journalism, other excellent universities offer respected journalism programs with a heavy academic focus. But NYU and Columbia offer something uniqueNew York City with daily breaking news and the opportunity for hands-on experience with working journalists guiding them along. It would be a shame to weaken this greatest strength.\nRight now, Columbia students are fanning out to Corona, Crown Heights, Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge, as they prepare their \"beat notes\" on stories about these communities. NYU students are gearing up to produce a cultural magazine. This kind of experience should never be replaced by textbook readings in classrooms and dorm rooms.\nThat said, Columbia's J-School is looking for a new leader and what better time is there to re-evaluate its curriculum? Already, NYU and Columbia go beyond trade school tracks but strengthening their academic sides is worth exploring. The departments should always be exploring ideas for thought-provoking classes. In addition, perhaps the j-schools could require students to take more classes in other departmentslike environmental studies for the science reporter or political science, religion or economics. As long as the skills component isn't diluted, it's ok to revisit and revise the curriculum, to make it broader, to offer more and to take advantage of \"the setting of a great university.\"\nEve Heyn, an adjunct instructor at NYU and a Columbia J-School alum, is a former People magazine staff correspondent.

Faithful Place is first and foremost a love story, discovering the past and revealing mysterious incidents through vengeance. Frank Mackey is quite the charmer, and stops at nothing to discover what happened to his old girlfriend (and later, his brother).\nRather than taking place in offices and solving the mystery through crime lab results and scientific data, Frank discovers everything “old school.” He’s always at the scene of the crime, back home, or visiting old friends’ places and having multiple conversations with others. At first the conversations seemed to drag – I wondered what the point was for all the dialogue – but once it seemed to be too much, Frank (and the reader) could immediately make connections to other conversations and incidents from the past. Tana French was very clever in her subtle hints and twists in the plot.\nWhat was incredibly fascinating was the internal switch in my mental accent. The voice reading in my head was no longer a midwestern American, but an Irish voice that I’m sure was a terrible mimicry of a true Dublin accent. The slang, phrasing, and deliberate misspellings in the dialogue begged to be read with the accent in mind! It certainly became entertaining, and easier to read once I got the hang of it.\nFilled with intrigue, old-fashioned word-of-mouth mystery-solving, folklore, and Irish homeliness, I would recommend this book to anyone who deeply enjoyed The Likeness (which Frank makes repeated appearances in) or wants a good heartbreaking love story that ended in murder. The relationships between the characters are entertaining, the conversations and class divides interesting, and the atmosphere intoxicating.\nRating: ★★★★★\nGoodreads: 3.89 of 5"}

{"text": "Barring disaster, Nate Solder and Sebastian Vollmer will be the New England Patriots’ left and right tackles in 2016. That’s everything we know about the Patriots’ starting offensive line less than four months before the start of the regular season.\nThe Patriots have a jumble of young players at guard and center, and there are seemingly endless potential starting combinations. Bryan Stork, 25, started eight games last season, while David Andrews, 23, started 11. Those are the top center options for the Patriots.\nGuards Josh Kline, 26, started 15 games. Shaq Mason, 22, started 12. Tre’ Jackson, 23, started nine, and Jonathan Cooper, 26, started nine for the Arizona Cardinals. The Patriots also grabbed Joe Thuney in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft and Ted Karras in the sixth round. Thuney fits best at guard but could play center or tackle, and Karras spent four seasons at Illinois as a right guard. The Patriots also have Chris Barker and Keavon Milton on their current 90-man roster.\nThe Patriots invested fourth-round picks in Stork, Mason and Jackson and picked up Andrews and Kline as undrafted free agents. Cooper was acquired in the trade that sent Chandler Jones to the Cardinals.\nBased completely on upside, Cooper, Thuney and Stork would be the starting interior line. But Cooper hasn’t proven much in his NFL career, Thuney is completely untested and the Patriots’ offense was better with Andrews than with Stork last season.\nBased completely on how the Patriots regarded their O-line at the end of last season, the starting interior O-line would be Mason, Kline and Stork. But they, along with Vollmer and Marcus Cannon, surrendered four sacks and 17 QB hits to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. That was a pretty big problem.\nBased on athleticism, it would be Mason, Kline and Thuney. Based on size, it would be Jackson, Stork and Karras.\nThe Patriots might have a starting O-line written in very faint pencil prior to organized team activities, but we’ll likely see every possible combination over the next four months during OTAs, minicamp and training camp. And the Patriots could elect to rotate their offensive line heading into the 2016 season. But they will have to make some decisions prior to September.\nThe Patriots typically carry nine offensive linemen, and four of those are usually tackles. The tackles would be Solder, Vollmer, Cannon and LaAdrian Waddle based on current projections, though the Patriots could elect to carry an extra interior offensive lineman over Cannon or Waddle because Thuney or Stork could play tackle in a pinch. That leaves five or six spots for interior offensive linemen, which means there will be more than one odd man out among Kline, Cooper, Mason, Jackson, Stork, Andrews, Thuney and Karras.\nSo, not only will OTAs, minicamp and training camp serve as competition for potential starting spots, but they also will serve as battles for valuable roster spots. Bottom line? Some intriguing players will be out of a job come September.\nThumbnail photo via Mark J. Rebilas/USA TODAY Sports Imags"}

{"text": "We average a move about every 2 years, so it seems we are constantly packing and unpacking. Over the last couple of years we accumulated a number of boxes that we simply never unpacked. In other words, bunch of stuff we did not really need any more. We don’t have a storage unit, big basement, or storage shed like in the past so it was time to have a garage sale. All those things that you kept telling yourself you were going to use… take it from me, you’re never actually going to use 95% of it. That tape deck, those roller\nblades, or that picture without the glass in it… junk. Junk that was taking up half our garage space. Not really sure why but I feel this uneasiness when the garage is in disarray. I don’t feel that way when I throw my clothes on the floor at the end of the day or leave the commode seat up but the garage is sacred for some reason. Its a man thing I guess, perhaps its the man-nest!…. Any way!, My point is that it felt great to actually get money for that old stuff. The first pic is of our little sale after the initial rush What I did not consider was the type of people that would show up, the questions they would ask and what they would and would not buy. You have the old ladies that arrive really early and try to get you to open early so they can get first dibs. Beware, these ladies will tackle you for quilts. Next come the old men. They usually don’t really look at what you have, they just ask you if you have X or Y. When you tell them no they ask, “Why not?” I’m not really sure how to answer that one. Then come the middle aged couples. These usually seem to be the best buyers (should be your target market in my opinion). Get ready because they are going to Uzi you with questions about prices and deals. But it is the middle aged singles that are most concerning.\nHere is an example question I got from this group:\n- How much for that thing up there in your garage? (clearly not part of the the sale)\n- Do you have any cell phones, what plan are you with, can I see your cell phone?\n- Guess how many wives I’ve had.\n- Did you know that Asian nail salons use Dremels to buff nails?\nThese represent the first questions, it goes down hill from there. I appreciate them for helping us purge our extra stuff. If you’re in the South, I can assure you that you will attract a colorful crowd. The second pic is of the kids reliving good times on an old toy.\nLOVE the questions! Only in the South!"}

{"text": "‘Contraception is the achilles heel of the pro-life movement’ January 28, 2011Posted by Tantumblogo in Abortion, Dallas Diocese, General Catholic, North Deanery, Society.\nWOW!\nA question – is posting these RealCatholicTV videos redundant for most folks? Are you seeing them elsewhere? If these are posts most folks blow past, I will scale back posting the videos unless I want to say something specific about the subject Voris addresses. Which, I usually do, but anyways…..\nThinking about this more, the link between the ‘contraceptive mentality’ and abortion is something that a person who accepts all the Doctrine of the Faith will readily accept. I have no problem with trying to improve knowledge of the links between contraception and abortion within the pro-life ‘movement.’ But this will have to be done with great charity, because so many people have come to be very wedded, if you will, to their use of contraception and acceptance of its necessity. It’s a cornerstone of modern American culture, and it’s going to take much prayer and effort to roll this acceptance, this reliance, back. Suddenly blasting protestants for using contraception (or, the vast majority of Catholics, for that manner), within the context of pro-life activities, is going to be a challenging task. It’s one thing to follow the Doctrine of the Faith, personally. It’s one thing to get fellow Catholics to accept that. It’s an entirely different issue to try to gain adherence to that doctrine by non-Catholics. That’s going to take some serious prayer.\nJesus and His Father’s Will January 28, 2011Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, Dallas Diocese, General Catholic, North Deanery.\nFrom the really very good Divine Intimacy, Chapter 60:\nFor us also, as adopted children of God, the way to sanctity, the rule of our actions must be our Heavenly Father’s Will. Like Jesus, we must be nourished by this holy, sanctifying Will; we must feed on it at every moment, we must seek it and desire to live by it alone, making it the one great motive for all our actions. “We must fully conform our will to God’s,” so that, as St. John of the Cross says, “there will be nothing in our thoughts or actions which is contrary to the Divine Will” (Ascent of Mt. Carmel I, 11, 2) [this implies conformity to all the Truth revealed by Christ through His Church – ED].\nConformity to God’s Will and the growth of Grace in us are the two constituent elements of sanctity and of a life of union with God. These two elements are inseparable, for one depends upon the other. Our increase in grace corresponds to our degree of conformity to God’s Will [as revealed through His Church, and the Truths revealed through the Church – ED]. Jesus said, “If anyone love Me, he will keep My word….and We will come to him, and will make Our abode with him” (Jn 14:23). Keeping His Word, that is, obeying God’s Will as manifested in the commandments, is the condition necessary for living in a state of Grace, and, hence, for enjoying the presence of the Blessed Trinity in our soul [and goes beyond the commandments to all the 418 dogmas of the Faith]. The more complete our confromity to God’s Will becomes, the more the life of Grace grows and develops within us. The three Divine Persons, on Their part, give Themselves more and more to our souls, establishing their in-dwelling ever more fully and profoundly, thus drawing us to greater union with Themselves.\n“O Good Master, You know that nothing is of more profit to me than to consecrate my will to the Father’s. You teach me to do this, knowing that it will win Your Father’s heart, and You also teach me how to serve Him…….\n!” (St. Teresa of Jesus, The Way of Perfection, 32).\nToday is the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas January 28, 2011Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, General Catholic.\nIn the new calendar, anyway. Some comments by the esteemable Fr. Robert Barron:\nTruth is One. If you haven’t read any of St. Thomas Aquinas, you should try, even though it is quite challenging.\nA beautiful hymn for Mary January 28, 2011Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, General Catholic, Our Lady.\nI believe this was composed by the great Thomas a Kempis. It is in the book The Imitation of Mary:\nTender Girl\nHow beautiful you are, tender girl!\nHow gentle and how spotless!\nHow powerful an everlasting Queen,\nas your miracle attest!\nWinter is now past……..\nYou were the fleece on the threshing-floor,\nthe ark of the covenant, the ivory tower:\nbe the shielf that saves us,\nO pure wheat without chaff!\nAnd come…….\nWorthiest daughter of David,\nVirgin, most beautiful of women,\nroyal city and strong tower,\ndefend us against a bad death.\nHear us………\nI’ve never heard this hymn sung. I’m sure it has a Latin origin – anybody have any idea if this hymn is extant in any hymnals anywhere?\nHere’s another hymn for Mary you are probably more familiar with:\nHow “dissent” affects the Church January 28, 2011Posted by Tantumblogo in Basics, Dallas Diocese, General Catholic, sadness, sickness, Society.\nFrom Dom Prosper Gueranger’s excellent The Holy Mass. First, a note regarding the prayers for the Church recited after the Sanctus during the consecration:\n…..In order that all her members without exception may be named, Holy Church here speaks of all the Faithful….that is to say, those who are faithful in observing the Faith of Holy Church, for to be included in those mentioned here [those prayers preceding the Consecration, some of the most solemn prayers of the Church – ED], [in other words, those who reject aspects of the revealed dogmas of the Church – ED].irst: on after another, carrying desolation along with them, and all this solely, because the intensity of the Great Sacrifice of the Mass has been diminished…….[and, I would add, as the reverence with which the Mass is celebrated has waned in many locales, and with many of the abuses that have come on the scene over the past 40-50 years, there is an even further weakening of the Graces God provides with the celebration of the Mass, so that society is made doubly ill – ED].\nIs the above too harsh? Too judging and legalistic? Or is it a valued part of the deposit of Faith, something that has perhaps been lost in many quarters of the Church? We can never know how much the Church, and the world, has been affected by the fragmentation of Christianity (there are now something like 50,000 protestant denominations), we can never know how much has been lost by lack of Faith within the Church. We shall never know, in this earthly exile, anyway, how much better, happier, more Grace filled, the world could be. Vatican II called for a great increase of devotion to all those Truths the Church has always held, but an illusory spirit rose up and crushed that increase in its nascent stages. I don’t know if some of the Council documents played a role in giving rise to that spirit – perhaps, but I do know if the Council documents had been interpreted in light of the constant Tradition of the Church, the Church, and the world, would be a far better place today."}

Alibaba Hot Tub\nThe distinction between the two plans truly is the limitations, and also Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a standard individual and also do not anticipate to make use of more than 20 funnels in your account – the Standard Strategy ought to suffice.\nNevertheless, if you plan to have an affiliate program or intend to maintain your email marketing within ClickFunnels and not utilize a third party software program, the Etison Collection is for you.\nYou can always start on the reduced plan and straightforward, very easy, and fast\n- All-in-one system with whatever your organisation needs to win\n- Split testing and also conversion monitoring included\n- Email combination with all of the major email autoresponder platforms\n- Repayment processing capabilities within ClickFunnels\n- ClickFunnels is always adjusting and also upgrading to the times\n- There is always sustain offered (whether online or otherwise).\n- Extremely active Facebook Group Community.\n- Free 14-Day Trial – permits you to try it run the risk of free.\nCons:.\n- As outstanding as ClickFunnels is, it most definitely is not an economical option and calls for a continuous membership to use\n- Support isn’t really constantly the fastest as well as could draw from 1 min to 24 hours depending on the problem.\nClickFunnels versus Everyone Else.\nLots of people ask how ClickFunnels compares to other touchdown page contractors such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and Infusionsoft.\nFor the most part it’s not truly big pet.\nLeadpages is simply a lead capture software application – absolutely nothing even more. You could create touchdown web pages, lead boxes, accumulate leads … that’s practically it. Additionally, the Leadpages design templates are additionally limited on personalization.\nClickFunnels is much more flexible – it’s much easier to make use of and also does so far more compared to develop lead capture pages.\nPut simply, Leadpages is actually just a touchdown web page contractor, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around building advanced as Infusionsoft.\nInfusionsoft is additionally exceptionally costly as well as forces every new customer to pay $2000 for a mandatory kickstart coaching plan just to learn how you can make use of the complicated system (which is infamously tough to make use of).\nClickFunnels Affiliate Program\nThere are two major courses individuals decrease as ClickFunnels users.\nThose that choose to make use of the tool for their organisation – in hopes of someday achieve the Two Comma Club (over $1M in revenue).\nAnd those that want earning easy revenue as a ClickFunnels Affiliate and winning the Dream Automobile Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your desire auto if you get to 100/200 active monthly signups, respectively).\nWith a whopping 40% monthly reoccuring compensation, ClickFunnels conveniently has among the greatest affiliate programs of any kind of system available.\nThat’s right – you get paid a recurring 40% compensation on every affiliate signup you make through the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. However, exactly what does that truly correspond to?\nThe fundamental plan is a $97/month financial investment as well as the Etison Suite plan is a $297/month financial investment. therefore you make $38.80 per standard strategy and also $118.80 each Etison Suite strategy … every single month!\nUsually, every 100 signups will certainly bring in $4000/month in associate commissions (more or less depending upon how many Etison Plan individuals remain in there).\nClick on this link to find out more regarding channel contractor, it vanquishes all of the competitors in that regard.\nOn the surface, it may not be the most inexpensive item out there – but if you use it to its full capability, your company will end up being extra successful as well as you will conserve cash from not needing to utilize other tools.

A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, points to a possible reason why these people have a much higher risk for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Related: How One Trip To The Dermatologist Saved My Skin For the study, researchers looked at 400 melanoma patients' DNA sequences and found that people who had one specific gene, the MC1R gene, had 42% more mutations in their skin cells. These mutations occur due to sun damage and make it easier for cancer to spread. \"This figure is comparable to the expected mutational burden associated with an additional 21 years of age, the researchers wrote.\" (Whoa.) Here's the thing: MC1R is the same gene that causes those visible traits we mentioned earlier.\nThe researchers concluded that people with the MC1R gene are at a greater risk of having skin cancer, because it might facilitate the cancer's growth. The fact that this gene is also linked to red hair, fair skin, and freckles only further validates what we already knew about who's more likely to get skin cancer. Related: The (Surprising) First Thing You Should Do When You Get A Sunburn One thing to keep in mind is that blondes and brunettes can carry this gene, too — it's just that redheads tend to carry two variants of it.

{"text": "Network warfare requires that we identify nodes in a net and the links between them, then systematically degrade, transform or destroy both nodes and links. Cyberwar in all of its manifestations is a metaphor for the network wars in which we are currently engaged. The Internet once again shows the dye in the arteries of the mind of society.\nBecause networks are based on trust, network warfare must undermine trust. The intended end of terrorism is to destroy the trust that holds a civil society together. The war against terrorism is executed with the same end in mind. But the best defense is to build and distribute trusted links and nodes, a network that is redundant, resilient, and infinitely elastic.\nWhen the infrastructure of society is the weapon as well as the target, then all of us are on the front lines. Some are unwilling soldiers, some don’t know they are soldiers, some can’t believe they are soldiers – but just as we have learned online that we are each responsible for securing our nodes and links, we are growing aware of our roles in the new battlespace.\nWe are all on the front lines. We are each responsible for doing what is necessary.\nI noted previously that the command to “Be alert!” is not self-executing. We must be trained to be alert, to recognize what constitutes suspicious activity, and to know how to respond appropriately. Much of what we need to learn is already available, and those ready opportunities must be linked with new opportunities for education and training on the web and in our communities.\nMany of us feel a greater urgency to contribute to an effort worthy of our deepest values and commitments. The National Security Agency saw recruiting calls surge from 2,700 a month to more than 16,000. Applications to the CIA increased by 700% after September 11. Army recruiters too report an increase in people wanting to enlist.\nMost of us won’t be able to join an intelligence organization or branch of the military, but it isn’t necessary to do so in order to gather and focus our energies in positive ways. We have a mandate from reality itself to create a network to gather the creative energies of just plain people like ourselves and use them effectively.\nA military leader recently said that for the first time in American history, the military is not able to defend the infrastructure of the nation. Critical infrastructure components – power, water and sewage, telecommunications, transportation, financial services – must defend themselves from physical and cyber-assault.\nCreating a “partnership between public and private sectors” is no longer easy because that simplistic division between sectors no longer fits our current reality. The nodes of our multiple networks intersect with one another in multi-dimensional ways. Governments can support but not provide all of the structures that we need.\nI propose that we create a Homeland Defense Network, a grass-roots effort on behalf of educating and training average citizens who find themselves on the front lines of a new kind of battle.\nThe Homeland Defense Network is conceived as a loosely organized network of classes, training opportunities, and awareness-enhancing experiences which when taken together constitute a pro-active response to the mandate to “Be alert!”\nSince September 11, many feel a desire to “do something.” The Homeland Defense Network channels that desire in productive ways by instructing, training, and supporting all of us in taking an enhanced role in defending ourselves in a protracted war with terrorism.\nThe HDN will address specific needs as they evolve, but will include:\n+ noticing what’s out of the ordinary, creating a global “neighborhood watch;”\n+ responding appropriately to perceived threats;\n+ understanding enhanced security as a necessary safeguard;\n+ emergency planning on individual, family and community levels;\n+ specific responses to urban warfare – what to do when roads are blocked, explosions take place, chemical biological or nuclear attacks are threatened or executed, communications/electronic networks are disrupted;\n+ education in the new geopolitical realities of network warfare and globalization;\n+ physical fitness and training, including martial arts and weight training;\n+ self-defense;\n+ spiritual fitness and training, including the use of “spiritual tools” such as meditation, awareness enhancement, and prayer (non-denominational, this aspect would nevertheless include existing organizations in a non-partisan way).\nI am inviting you to work with myself and others to build the Homeland Defense Network, to link existing opportunities for education and training online and in the physical world with new opportunities.\nHDN is a non-partisan, non-profit, independent grass-roots effort to create a positive informed response to the threat of terrorism. It is not intended to be administered or funded by any government but needs the support and expertise of all sectors of society. I invite your ideas and suggestions at this stage of development.\nIf you want to be kept informed via the HDN newsletter, reply with “subscribe HDN” as subject or text. A web site () will be online soon.\nThe challenge to our humanity is absolute. The antidotes to anxiety and fear and the paralysis they cause are community, a free flow of information and energy, and accountability to our highest goals and a vision worthy of our best selves.\nWe need to think creatively, differently. Two friends involved with the intelligence community, for example, suggested enlisting “cadres of young people who could be teachers.” In particular, “African American males have had to live in situations in which they often are and feel threatened. They survive by recognizing and countering real threats. It would be a great win-win if we called upon these young men to be teachers for our society.”\nWe need one another’s support in order to stay in our discomfort zones as we map the contours of a changed landscape. Alone we will fall back but together … we can do this."}

{"text": "As i knit lots of cardigans i had the thought that maybe i could also make a cardigan but without knitting - just out of fabric - like a chanel jacket. I was not so worried that it would look like one (although they are beautiful) but was thinking more in the vein of it being comfortable and well fitting and finished.\nI found some lovely soft flannel and thought it was very much in the spirit of comfort and softness.\nIt was really just an experiment, and the result is not quite a cardigan, but I am really pleased with it. I am going to try to wear it for work - a bit of power dressing!\nI found a nice bobbly trim which finishes it off a treat, and hooks and eyes to fasten. It's definitely very jackety rather than cardiganesque, but I used my close fitting bodice block to draw the pattern so it is the reason it is quite tailored. I am going to have another go though, and experiment with an easy fit bodice block to see if it makes the difference.\nThe lining is peach and i love how you can see it in the sleeves!\nI have done a little google search for patterns, just to see if they exist, and was pleased that i found a few gems:\nThis one is from alana's cherished treasures but comes from america and there don't seem to be any of these sorts of patterns easily available to me. But it has given me some inspiration and belief in the challenge. I think this weekend I will try drafting my pattern pieces.\nI think also the choice of fabric will have an effect, and it was one of my personal course aims at dressmaking to make something in jersey or a knitted fabric so next term i think this will be a good project for me. And as I am keeping away from the shops for such things, it will be good to have an alternative to knitting everytime i would like a cosy new cardy.\nYours,\nEmilia.\nps. i had my hair cut!

{"text": "GIFF JOHNSON\nThe polio epidemic in the Marshall Islands 57 years ago offers a cautionary note in today’s coronavirus world. A total of 194 Marshallese and two Americans experienced some level of paralysis and 11 Marshallese died on 10 of 22 populated atolls.\nThe polio epidemic here happened eight years after a vaccine for the polio virus had been invented and was in wide use in the United States and other countries. But the vaccine was not used in Marshall Islands until after the epidemic started at the US Navy base at Kwajalein in January 1963 and quickly spread to the Marshallese community at Ebeye.\nIn early January that year, a nine-year-old American girl living with her family at what was then the US Navy base at the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kwajalein developed an illness that included fever, headache, malaise, dizziness and vomiting. On the third day, she developed paralysis related to her spinal chord and was evacuated to Hawaii for treatment. This was the first recognized case of paralytic poliomyelitis in the 1963 epidemic, according to a detailed medical paper published by the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1966.\nFive days after paralysis appeared in the American girl, a three-year-old Marshallese boy living on Ebeye was admitted to the Ebeye dispensary with paralysis of the right leg following two days of fever. “His five-year-old cousin and close playmate, who often accompanied his grandmother to work on Kwajalein, became paralyzed on the following day,” said the paper in the medical journal, “Poliomyelitis in an isolated population: Report of a Type 1 Epidemic in the Marshall Islands, 1963.”\n“Over the ensuing three days, five additional (Marshallese) children were brought to the dispensary with paralytic illness.”\nWith assistance of the American medical doctor on Kwajalein, it was determined these were infectious cases. On January 16 — four days after the first Marshallese child was seen with paralysis, and nine days after the American girl developed paralysis — authorities placed a quarantine on travel between Ebeye and Kwajalein, and called for help from a Preventive Medicine Unit at the Pearl Harbor Navy base in Honolulu.\nThe medical team arrived in three days but already 25 cases of paralysis had occurred on Ebeye among Marshallese, while a second American child had developed paralysis on Kwajalein.\nJanuary 19 and 20, the entire populations of Kwajalein and Ebeye were fed the type 1 oral polio vaccine. By January 24, the rate of new cases was slowing.\nWhile polio cases on Ebeye declined quickly in the wake of a vaccine being applied to the entire population, the virus spread to the outer islands through ship visits.\n“On January 29, a radio message was received in Kwajalein from the distant atoll of Rongelap stating that emergency medical aid was needed as 16 of the 208 inhabitants had a paralytic disease,” said the medical journal article. “The following day, a physician from the Pacific Missile Range Hospital on Kwajalein was flown by Navy Air-Sea Rescue amphibian plane to this island, where the clinical diagnosis of poliomyelitis was confirmed.” Health officials gave all Rongelap residents the oral polio vaccine during their visit.\n“The evidence that the disease had escaped the confines of Kwajalein Atoll, plus the alarming susceptibility of the islanders, resulted in an emergency immunization program for the entire Marshallese population utilizing type 1 oral polio vaccine,” said the medical journal article. “The only deterring factor was the necessary delay in obtaining vaccine.”\nVaccines were initially targeted on all of the islands visited by the field trip ship that had visited Rongelap and was known to be the agent of transmission, since it was the only contact the northern atoll had had with the outside world in two months.\nThe spread of polio to the outer islands occurred because two Marshalls District field trip vessels — the Mieco Queen and the Ran Annim — left Ebeye for the outer islands before the illness among children on Ebeye was recognized as a polio epidemic. “With efforts directed to control the disease on Ebeye and Kwajalein islands, the Marshallese soon forgot about their departure with healthy adults and children,” said the medical journal article.\nThe Ran Annim stopped at Rongelap, Wotho, Lae, Ujae and Ujelang before returning to Majuro on January 29. The Mieco Queen, before returning to Majuro, stopped at three islands in Namu Atoll.\nThe Ran Annim made two more voyages from Majuro before being quarantined. This included a trip from Majuro to Maloelap on February 4, but with no children on board. Children were identified as the primary source of virus spread. Meanwhile, on the same day, the 30-foot sailing vessel Arno Schooner, sailed for three isolated islands in Arno.\nThree cases of paralysis from polio had already happened in Majuro when these vessels departed for Maloelap and Arno. After Maloelap, the Ran Annim went to Wotje and Likiep. The vessel was put into quarantine at Likiep on February 10 until immunization of the entire population was completed five days later.\nBoth Wotho and Maloelap developed no cases polio cases. But people living on Rongelap, Ujae, Lae, Ujelang, Majuro and Arno contracted the virus that started at Kwajalein. One child each on Likiep and Wotje suffered from polio. They had been exposed to the visit of the Ran Annim’s passengers on February 9 and 10, respectively. The vaccine was provided either the same day or one day after possible exposure to the virus on Likiep and Wotje. The fact that the polio vaccine was brought to these two islands on February 10 clearly helped prevent further spread.\nAlthough the 1963 polio epidemic started at Kwajalein and moved to Ebeye, the most cases of paralysis associated with polio occurred in Majuro.\nA total of 64 people of the 3,933 then residing in Majuro Atoll suffered from some level of paralytic polio. The number of cases in Majuro was almost exactly one-third of the 194 cases recorded among Marshallese on the 12 islands/atolls that were exposed to polio in 1963.\nEbeye accounted for 56 of the total. Ebeye’s population at the time was 1,971.\nThe two outer atolls that were hit hardest with polio cases were Ujelang, with 20 cases among 275 people, and Rongelap, with 19 among 208 people. Ujae and Arno both saw 10 cases each, Namu had nine, Lae four and Wotje and Likiep one each.\nOver 80 percent of the 194 cases among Marshallese were among children six years of age and younger. “The extraordinary susceptibility of the Marshallese under age seven to paralysis implies a most deficient immune status,” said the medical journal article.\nThe so-called “attack rate” for polio among the populations living on the infected islands was 22 per thousand people, “many times higher than experienced in major epidemics in the United during the past 10 years,” said the medical journal article published in 1966. But the age specific attack rate for young children was more severe, at 85 per 1,000. By contrast, the attack rate in the American population of 3,000 with two cases was 0.7 per 1,000 in large part because most of the Americans were already immunized against polio."}
{"text": "Tabasco is one of the most well-known blends of hot sauce. Made from peppers, vinegar and salt, the resulting bold and intense flavor can spice up a wide variety of dishes. While it doesn't supply much in terms of vitamins and minerals, Tabasco and many other hot pepper sauces offer up a few other health benefits.\nNutrition of Tabasco\nOne teaspoon of original Tabasco contains zero calories and zero grams of fat. Despite its lack of essential nutrients, this zero-calorie condiment can still have a valuable place in your healthy eating plan. Taking the place of other higher calorie condiments such as sour cream or gravy, Tabasco serves up some serious flavor in a small volume, guaranteed to jazz up any meal without adding to your waistline.\nOne potential drawback to Tabasco is that one teaspoon contains around 35 milligrams of sodium, which is about 2 percent of the daily limit recommended by the American Heart Association. Other flavors, such as the green jalapeno or garlic pepper flavor, contain about 150 milligrams, or 10 percent of your daily limit. While small amounts of Tabasco may not be problematic, for those watching their sodium intake, it could be something to monitor.\nHealth Benefits\nCapsaicin, the chemical responsible for giving hot peppers their spicy kick, can also be beneficial outside of just making your salsa a force to be reckoned with. Used topically, creams or ointments containing capsaicin can be helpful in relieving pain from many different conditions including nerve pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia and lower back pain. It works by inhibiting Substance P, a chemical that transmits pain signals to the brain, thus creating a potent anti-inflammatory response.\nCapsaicin also has powerful antibacterial properties that can help fight and prevent chronic sinus infections. The heat from the hot sauce stimulates secretions which help clear mucus from your nose, relieving nasal congestion.\nSome studies have suggested that capsaicin can help to suppress your appetite, aiding in weight loss. According to a 2009 study from Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that when healthy subjects consumed a combination of capsaicin and green tea, they tended to feel less hungry and take in fewer calories. In addition, another study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that this spicy condiment may help to decrease ghrelin, a hormone involved in promoting hunger.\nOverall, initial studies have shown that there could be more to hot sauce than just heat. And with its negligible fat and calories, Tabasco provides a tasty and healthier alternative that will boost flavor without boosting your overall intake.\n>."}

Besides planning your business financially you must plan on reserving a portion of your funds to return home if obligatory. I hope that you now perceive that each proposal written for a healthcare/medical business can be unique. You need to identify what is improper with the operations within the business and how.\nForeign business homeowners usually file a business below a Thai spouse, Thai girlfriend or excellent Thai pals/business companions that they’ve known for a very long time with a good background. Recording revenue is a manner of figuring out whether the business is making profit or not, as a result of it contains particulars of money obtained and spent.\nYesterday, Photo Business News detailed the sale of Corbis to Visual China Group (SHENZEN: 000681 ) subsidiary Unity Glory as well as the same-day announcement of what clearly seems to be like an finish-run around anti-belief legal guidelines by Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG) after they announced the worldwide exclusive arrangement with Getty Images. But since I can’t I assume a pawn shop is sweet thought in occasions of recession, or perhaps a business gathering debts. As for opening a manufacturing facility I know that there are a whole lot of massive industrial areas for lease that ought to suit your business wants.

Every downside is totally different and fixing the issues depends on one’s experience, strategy to the problem, knowledge in regards to the business and in researching for the best answer. It just means you should develop an excellent business plan (suppose massive and optimistically but plan realistically with achievable figures) earlier than you start. In 2006, Arizona was named 2nd Fastest Growing place for girls-owned corporations by the Center for Women’s Business Research.\nNever ever quit on your business; keep in mind, the going will change into tough at occasions, and it’s up to you to overcome the challenges! I have not been able to find a business in my space (main metropolitan space) that does this and I’m wondering why. Don’t take what I said above to flippantly as a result of truly you need to work on your business on a regular basis, I mean on a regular basis. Nice ideas you could have right here, as I think everybody aspiring to a better business mannequin positively wants some good business cards to advertise themselves.

{"text": "Conservus International has lined up two more US-based technology companies that want to invest in the Dubai-based IT and media firm, Chairman Kamal Nasser has revealed. This follows the acquisition of a minority stake last year by Intel Capital, the chipmaker's global investment division.\n\"The companies are not the size of Intel,\" Nasser told Emirates Business. \"They will sign partnership agreements before the end of the year. Both companies have exchanged non-disclosure agreements with us and in November we will have further meetings with them.\n\"The companies will not take immediate stakes in the company but will work as partners. It will be a courting period as we have to see how our media and their technology work together.\"\nIntel Capital announced in February last year that it was investing in three UAE-based technology companies – Conservus, Pulse Technologies and Vertex Animation Studio. The funding from the $50 million (Dh183.6m) Intel Capital Middle East and Turkey Fund helped the companies to pursue regional growth and development plans in addition to extending product offerings. The fund invests in companies developing hardware, software, local content and services. Intel Capital led all three investments but the value of each was not let out.\nConservus is involved in conceptualising, designing and developing a targeted digital advertising medium known as the MyConservus Portal. The portal is an e-concierge platform that highlights services available at a single location and provides advertisers with direct access to potential consumers, while generating revenue from the adverts.\nConservus premiered the product in the hospitality sector by taking the generic internet log-in page that greets guests at every hotel and transforming it into a hybrid electronic magazine and boutique portal/concierge service portal.\nThe portal is available in the Jumeirah chain and at the Fairmont, and a number of additional launches have taken place at InterContinental, Hilton and Raffles properties, among others, since Intel acquired its stake.\n\"After the Intel investment we had enough resources to grow,\" said Nasser. \"There are growth plans for next year that include expanding to other GCC states and to European countries. There have been pilot projects in New York and the UK.\"\nThe GCC countries that Conservus is looking at are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.\nNasser said the company had received offers from international companies that wished to invest in it. \"But we want to start with a partnership to see how the services and products synergise.\"\nMeanwhile, Conservus is set to launch a community portal,, at Tecom's Dubai Media City after Ramadan.\n\"This is the first initiative by Tecom to create a community portal and it will include the other zones in the future. We previously focused on hospitality but in June or July we started working on community portals,\" said Nasser. \"These portals allow members to use social networking features and find job vacancies. They basically create a platform where people can collect information.\n\"Since the Intel investment, Conservus has increased its footprint outside the hospitality sector and has received awards such as the Red Herring, which has been presented to global giants like Google and Yahoo.\"\nKeep up with the latest business news from the region with the Emirates Business 24\|7 daily newsletter.

{"text": "Njf\nSHALL POLYGAMY BE ABOLISHED ?\nIt seems scarcely possible that the govern- ment at Washington has, as reported in one or two New York journals, sent instructions ' to the judicial authorities at Salt Lake to carry legal proceedings against the polygam- ists of Utah no further than conviction by the jury in the event of any opposition being made by the Mormons to the incarceration of those found guilty. This would result in making a senseless farce of all that has thus ' far been done toward removing from the country a source of organized crime and a national disgrace. The solemn formality of a trial by jury was not necessary to show that Elder HAWKINS was guilty of polygamy. His life waa a daii*- confession of the fact, and, if no punishment is to follow a conviction, the statute of Utah declaring polygamy a crime, and affixing a penalty for the commission thereof is absurd in the highest degree. As the government itself permitted this wrong against national dig- nity and good morals to continue without interruption for many years, thus tacitly giving it countenance of authority, it would be improperly harsh to sentence Elder HAW- KINS, or others found guilty of the form © f the offense charged, to exemplary punish- ment. Yet there should be some penalty following suddenly and certainly a convic- tion, else the grave proceedings of the courts become a mockery, and polygamy remains a blot upon the good name^ i the country.\nThe Mormons allege that the legal pro- ceedings that have been had are in reality an attack upon their form of religious faith— which allegatian is nonsense. The Mor- mons are welcome to remain in undisturbed possession of Salt Lake, but it is against the spirit of civilization that there, or elsewhere upon our territory, they shall make part of their religion to consist in practices of vile- ness that shame humanity.\nFollowing close upon the conviction of Elder HAWKINS, there was received by the President, at Washington, on Tues- day. a petition fifty feet long, from the women of Utah, urging the suppression of polygamy in that Territory. The means of suppression are now in Judge MOKKAN'S hands. If he will be permit- ted to execute the sentence provided by the law against the convicted or to be con- victed polygamists, polygain y will go down into the past of our history, just as that other hideous crime, chattel slavery did, and like it, contemned and execrated by mankind.\nClick tabs to swap between content that is broken into logical sections."}
{"text": "Online Marketing need not be aggressive marketing. You can be honest and still sell well, but one need to be smart enough, when it comes to placing the links in the right places. You must be convinced by now that using Google ads or placing ads everywhere on your blog or aggressively writing product reviews might help. They won’t; on the contrary, maintaining good standards would help. Providing valuable content would help. Spreading knowledge would help. Write something that excites your reader; they should crave for more. This is the only thing that saves your blog ultimately.\nEffective ways of marketing through a blog\nThough there are a lot of strategies, we shall discuss a few here:\nTake care of the first impression\nDon’t sell anything on the face. That will royally spoil the first impression. Take all measures to create an impact through the landing page. From the design to the content, everything must fit well and impress the reader.\nChoose the products that were useful to you\nSell a product that you have personally used in your life. If you have used a particular smart phone and if you feel like recommending it to your friends, then it would be the right product to recommend to your readers too. Selling such a product would be wise because whatever you speak about the product comes directly from your heart and you come across as a sincere person. Also, if a product served you well, it means that it will serve the customers well.\nTalk a bit about the product\nIf you just place the affiliate link with no description about the product nobody will care to buy it. Instead, accept the fact that you are actively promoting a particular product and start talking about it on your blog. Tell people why you think that it is a good one and how it adds value to anyone’s life.\nNever write a post only for the sake of placing the links\nYour posts would lead to an affiliate link, but it doesn’t mean that your post should be targeted only towards a link. As I said earlier, sell without desperation. Never sell anything on the face. In fact, you should look like recommending something, but not like selling something.\nShare personal experiences\nSharing your own experiences would add a personal touch to your write up. Add facts and relevant data and makethings look believable and interesting.\nDon’t confuse the read by selling too many productsin a single post\nWhen you reada post about smart phones which contains links of 6 different brands, wouldn’t you get confused? Your readers would get a headache when you do the same. Promote one good brand instead of 5 brands.\nPromote the products that get you profit and ignore others\nWith experience you will know what works and what doesn’t. That is the time when you have to get rid of the clutter from your blog\nProvide resources\nGive some helpful information, links and other information to your readers. Place your affiliate links there.\nThe content on your blog stays forever and so do the affiliate links. Put in the efforts and your income will be consistent for a reasonable period.\nWind Up\nApply these secrets and put your affiliate marketing strategy to work in a very quick and positive way. To get relevant assistance regarding proper utilization of these secrets, get in touch with well known India based Affiliate marketing experts at Softqube Technologies."}

Oh, it also has some nasty themes and gore n' stuff too.\n\"Ipso Fatso\"\n( o.o ) Either your vision is warped or I'm morbidly obese\nOut in the neighbouring space of where the moon used to be, the Man (who was previously) in the Moon, drifts endlessly throughout the cosmos while pondering where his life will lead him. However, the drifting man is oblivious as he falls into the Earth's atmosphere, soon shooting into the planet as a mass of flames. [( o.o ) Thank goodness, the Earth just saved us all]\n--------Meanwhile at Some School, in Ms Irk's class------\nWith Jazz as the last sole student left in the classroom [( o.o ) Since the others have all been brutally slaughtered though whether some were watching tentacle porn or not at the time of their death is irrelevant], Irk points to a giant diagram of a brain as she concludes her biological lecture, \"\nAnd thus, your membrane is clearly insane.\"\nJazz simply glances at the shadow-clad, demonic teacher, \"Um, may I please ask a question?\"\n\"\nNo.\" Irk leers at the lone student, with her forked-tongue hissing.\nSweat drips down the girl's forehead, \"But, I don't think some of that information even made sen-\" Before she can finish the sentence, Irk abruptly appears right in front of her desk, glaring into her soul with chilling eyes. [( o.o ) That's 'chilling', not 'chilli'. I mean, don't get me wrong I love chilli, but it simply does not apply to this situation jeeez people, what do you think, that I'd just be willing to put something random in like that? Psh]\nIrk soon forms into her emaciated, clawed-hand, demonical state, \"I am the ancient demon, Irkalacifera! I was burning souls in Hell before the Universe spewed out this crappy planet! My knowledge is infinite and incomprehensible to your puny, fragile, mediocre mind!...Now go home while I continue to plot your inevitable death by me.\"\n\"Yes, Ms Irk.\" The girl hops out of her seat, taking her mountain of text books with her as she steps out of the dank classroom. [( o.o ) Sadly, nine-point-three out of ten kids will receive this kind of abuse from their teachers; though often because they are fat and incredibly ugly kids, that all use a single brain cell.]\n-------Somewhere St. -----\nTimmy the Reaper rings the doorbell to a quaint, nice little home situated within a quiet neighbourhood. The door opens up, revealing a middle-aged man, appearing with a welcoming smile, \"Well, hello! And what can I do for you this fine day?\" With a swift swing of Scythe, the man's head thuds to the floor.\nThe Reaper sighs as he scene-shifts to conceal his actions of murder, and making it appear as though the man was attacked by ravaging cats. He then calmly steps away as Scythe comments, \"So. He seemed nice~\"\nTo Be Disembodied\n( o.o ) Yep, definitely is your warped vision\nסּ[סּ It must be the milk, THE MILK!! AHHHHHHHH!!!\nSUPER FUN FACT!\nIpsofacto is a Latin phrase, translated as \"by the fact itself,\" meaning that a certain effect is a direct\nconsequence of the action in question, instead of being caused by a subsequent action.

{"text": "Welcome to Scotland\nThe first Syrian refugees to be resettled in the UK under the extended Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme are due to arrive in Scotland today (Tuesday 17 November).\nThrough the scheme, the UK Government is prioritising those identified as most in need at UN-registered camps in Jordan and Lebanon. This includes women, children, people who have experienced torture and sexual violence, and people who are unfit to remain in the camps due to age or disability.\nOver the coming weeks, Scotland will take around a third of the initial 1,000 men, women and children who are expected in the UK before Christmas..\n\"I am a man, I am a husband, I am a son, brother, and cousin. I am a professional with skills and expertise to offer wherever I am and I have helped many people and I hope to do so in the future. I am Syrian. I am not just a refugee. I am not a statistic. And I am certainly not a burden.\"\nGary Christie, Head of Communications at Scottish Refugee Council,. Nearly 2000 people have offered practical support via the website.”\nThe UK Government has said it will resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees through the scheme over the course of this parliament, with the Scottish Government accepting at least 10% - proportionate to Scotland’s population within the UK.\nThe Home Office, which is working directly with local authorities, will give the new arrivals an initial 5-year visa and has guaranteed funding for one year.\nSyrians are fleeing their country due to war which is now in its fifth year and appears to have no end in sight.\nShare:Tweet this Share this"}
