The year of 2017 has come to an end, but before the annual swing around the sun came to an end, we fortunately had the opportunity to bring together most of the teams in the UK working on bridging the gap between science and visually impaired people. Astronomy and public engagement was the main discussion, but there was enough room for everyone to present their approach on how to tackle the same challenge of accessible science. Everyone stayed fully engaged throughout the entire day, and there were been serious signs of something great beginning in the field.
It’s sad that it was only one day, but it was still one of the best conferences we’ve had. It was on the 14th of December 2017, and Daniel Hajas attended the event on Grapheel’s behalf hosted at the Royal Astronomical Society. It was the first of its kind, both in spirit and in the great number of projects working on public engagement of astronomy and science in general — specifically targeting visually impaired audiences.
The event, “Communicating Physics and Astronomy to a Visually Impaired Audience”, was organised and hosted by Sheila Kanani (Royal Astronomical Society) and Jen Gupta (Tactile Universe, University of Portsmouth). It involved a number of 15-20 minutes talks, demos, lighting pitches, and discussions on how to set a roadmap toward a union of similar initiatives. The atmosphere was outstandingly inspiring and informative. We learnt a lot from each others’ successes and failures: which tools are useful, which audiences can be reached, and more importantly, what future work is required to keep the momentum.
Throughout the morning, 7 different teams all had the opportunity to present their work. They were all from within the UK and they all shared the same objective: to engage visually impaired people in learning about our universe and to break out from an imagined bubble of isolation. After a quick lunch, we spent the early afternoon demoing our probes, passing the universe around, from hand to hand. As well as 3D printed graphs of quantum mechanical quantities, galaxy images, planets, and more, people also had a chance to try feeling a Hydrogen atom projected in mid-air using an array of ultrasound transducers that created the sensation of touch on the skin. The rest of the afternoon was spent sitting down — like King Arthur’s knights of the Round Table — and discuss how we could team up, build on each others’ strengths whilst improving our weaknesses, and provide support across the teams in the UK to reach out to more people. There were ideas of holding regular, annual one-day conferences similar to this event as well as forming a formal or informal consortium of some kind.
UK-based initiatives to address public engagement and access to science
With so many creative and unique ways that each team had designed to help blind and visually impaired students, there was only one thing we all had in common: we all have a shared vision of a future where we can support visually impaired people to engage with science. But who are we all? Here is a list of the attending speakers and their projects. If you wish to know more about them or participate in their future events, you can either get in touch with us and we will be more then happy to assist you in connecting you to the right people at the teams, or you can also get in touch directly on the channels we quote at the end of each project summary. On our blog, you can also find individual posts about each team in our “nanoTip” blog series.
RNIB Bookshare and an inspiring case of VI in STEM
RNIB Bookshare is the go-to place for a library of accessible books in the UK — and their manager, Stacy Rowe, is the go-to person if you need a bit of inspiration of why it’s worth doing STEM even when you have a visual impairment.
Touching Space – IOP Award Winning Outreach Bringing Space Science to Everyone.
Touching Space delivers a range of superb accessible outreach events for both young and old. Using materials flow-in from space, audio, 3D printed items, robotics, high visibility projections and meteorites from the Moon, from Mars, and from the asteroid belt.
Tactile Collider is an initiative bringing the latest in accelerator physics research to blind and visually impaired children and adults (plus teachers and carers) around the UK using a model accelerator and sounds.
g-Astronomy: The Universe with all your senses.
Astrophysicist and science communicator Dr Roberto Trotta has joined efforts with experimental gastronomy chef Jozef Youssef and his team at Kitchen Theory to develop an interactive culinary experience that translates questions of cosmology and astronomy in dishes designed to embody in a metaphorical (but scientifically accurate) way the core physical characteristics of dark matter, black holes and the Big Bang.
The Tactile Universe: Engaging the vision impaired community with accessible astrophysics research.
The Tactile Universe is an on-going public engagement project from the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, supported by the South East Physics Network, that is creating accessible activities and resources to enable members of the vision impaired community to engage with current research topics within astrophysics and cosmology.
3D Printing for Inclusivity
Ted Snowdon, a Masters student at the University of York guided a discussion on how the physics department, including Emily Brunsden, is exploring using 3D printing and similar technologies to produce teaching resources for the benefit of VI students and with additional use as outreach tools.
Get in touch to learn from their experiences.
Museum in a box
The presentation by George Oates, co-founder of Museum in a Box, introduced the story and value proposition behind Museum in a Box, a start-up company turning museum exhibits into a multi-sensory, living room experience. They showcased how the exhibition is turned into an interactive exploration using technology such as NFC and digital fabrication.
Cosmic sculpture – A 3D printed model of planets and the Cosmic Microwave background
Dr Dave Clements told us about his work with the Cosmic Sculpture: a truly 3D form of CMB radiation — and the birth of our Universe — that can be held in the hand and felt rather than viewed.
The way forward
Obviously, we didn’t want to miss the party, so Daniel Hajas gave a presentation on behalf of Grapheel about “Beyond policy: Unifying research and social enterprise at Grapheel”. Clearly, 3D printing technology contributes enormously towards the affordability and accessibility of public engagement activities designed for the visually impaired community. Every team is approaching the challenge in their own way. Some work on reaching out to the public and getting them interested, some work on academic research of developing inclusive user experiences of science instruction, and some take the element of enterprise. However, what's common in all efforts, we all want to see impact in the short term.
It's good to finally get to know and appreciate what the individual groups are up for. Daniel pitched for collaborative work, let it be a formally established consortium of outreach officers, academics, students and social enterprises, or an informal movement of enthusiastic activists.
Read more about the Grapheel approach in our individual post on delivering the talk.>>
Thanks for the RAS and the Tactile Universe team organising this event, and to all speakers who took the time to present their work. We feel such an event was long needed and we are looking forward to either attending or hosting the second round. The teams are showcasing unprecedented achievements in public engagement in context of astronomy and STEM for the visually impaired community. In an organised collaboration, with synchronised activities around the country alongside securing further funding, we can reach to the stars — and touch them.

I'd like to know how to rename the labels in Trello.
They all have been named as their color, as a default, and I'd like to change it so it's easier to find out which is labeling what.

Audi’s A7 didn’t start the modern coupe-like sedan trend, but with its muscular proportions, beautiful surfacing and Kammback rear it managed to make us almost forget the segment’s progenitor, the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
Today we have new spy shots of the S7, which judging by the lack of camouflage gear should be making its debut soon.
We know this prototype is for the S7 because of its massive wheels and brakes. A close up on the front wheel reveals a brake disc that almost fills the entirety of the wheel housing and a caliper that almost spans the diameter. There are also four exhaust tips at the rear, a signature design cue for Audi’s S cars.
It’s not clear what engine is lurking beneath the hood but a safe bet based on the exhaust note in the spy video is the Volkswagen Group’s new 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that made its debut in the current Porsche Panamera 4S, where it delivers a healthy 440 horsepower. A similar output, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission, should feature in the S7.
Despite dropping the current S7's V-8 in favor of a more efficient V-6, performance should be maintained. Expect the 0-60 mph time to match or better the current S7's 4.3 seconds result. Top speed should remain capped at 155 mph.

V-8 fans can look forward to the new RS 7. This one should feature a version of the VW Group’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 that made its debut in the 2017 Panamera Turbo, possibly with an electric compressor thrown in to reduce lag (the technology is already available in several models including the SQ7 TDI sold overseas). A plug-in hybrid e-tron model is expected at some point as well.
Inside the cars will be the high-tech cabin of the regular A7 but with better bolstered seats and unique trim options. Audi's newest interior concept features two touchscreens (10.1 and 8.6 inches) in the center stack through which most commands are executed. A third screen measuring 12.3 inches serves as the instrument cluster.
Look for the debut of the S7 later this year. It should arrive as a 2019 model.

Victoria Falls is located in Southern Africa between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are, by some measures, the largest waterfall in the world and the greatest known curtain of falling water. This breathtaking sight sits in Zambezi River.
One of the famous feature is a naturally formed pool known as the Devil’s Swimming Pool, located near the edge of the falls. There are months in a year that swimming on this pool is allowed, usually when the river flow is at the safe level and the current is not strong enough to sweep swimmers off the cliff.
So, will you dare to dive at the devil’s pool?
Slide and Dive!

"THE SPACE CAPSULE IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE." Apollo 18 brings the lolz, disappoints.
I hope this review encapsulates the feelings I had when I watched this movie tucked into a seat in the back of the theater hoping no one would see me there. I literally started laughing violently at some of the scenes in the movie and took a picture of myself doing this. However, I deleted the photo because some usher at the theater got mad. Oh, well. At least he didn't kick me out. However, I wouldn't have cared, because I knew how the movie was going to end anyway.
Here's some selected text of this review to ponder:
"The word 'predictable' is almost too predictable of an adjective to even begin to describe Apollo 18. In fact, I think I broke my computer’s thesaurus trying to find more synonyms for 'predictable.' (My hard drive is going to start smoking a cigarette in about two seconds.)"Read the review and draw your own conclusion. EDIT: SPOILERS INCLUDED! If you were going to see this movie, I am going to ruin it for you.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Vice President
STATEMENT BY VICE PRESIDENT GORE ON THE SENATE REPUBLICAN BUDGET PROPOSAL
For six years now, President Clinton and I have followed a brand new economic strategy for America: strict fiscal discipline; open markets; and targeted investments in our future, including the education, job training, and health care that build a stronger nation. And it's working: we now have the longest peacetime economic expansion in American history.
That's why I was so disappointed to see the newest Republican budget proposal. We've seen this kind of budget before -- we've tried this kind of budget before -- and it nearly wrecked our economy. We don't need to go back -- we need to go forward.
First, the Republican budget is fiscally irresponsible. It pours hundreds of billions of dollars into risky tax schemes, which means the cupboard is bare when it comes to saving Medicare. Our plan extends Medicare for more than a decade. The Republican plan doesn't guarantee a single penny to strengthen Medicare.
Second, our plan saves Social Security first, and extends it for 23 years. The Republican plan puts risky tax schemes first, and Social Security last. It doesn't extend Social Security by one day.
Finally, the Republican budget forces deep cuts in Head Start, job training, toxic waste clean-ups -- even our nation's law enforcement. In fact, the only way to make their numbers add up is to cut deeply into everything from education to health care.
We don't need more Republican retro-nomics. We don't need to unravel our hard-won fiscal discipline, and turn a cold shoulder to Social Security and Medicare. We need to work across party lines to keep our prosperity going -- and use it to save Social Security and Medicare, and invest more in our people. I urge all members of Congress: let's work together, and craft a budget that's right for the American people.

Chandigarh: The shooting of Kathryn Bigelow's film on Osama bin Laden here to depict killing of the Al Qaeda leader in Abbottabad was stalled today by VHP activists who objected to hoisting of Pakistani flags.
The crew was forced to cancel the shoot and move the cameras away after the protests when a few scenes of the film was being recreated by the Oscar-winning director at Manimajra town on the outskirts of the city.
Activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) led by Vijay Singh Bhardwaj forcefully disrupted the shooting and removed the sign boards put in Urdu on few shops, a crew member said, adding the cameramen were also allegedly pushed and abused.
They raised slogans against Pakistan and removed its flags put in place to recreate the actual spot in Abbotabad where US commandos killed the dreaded Al Qaeda leader in a helicopter raid on 2 May 2011.
"They (the movie crew) are showing Chandigarh as Pakistan, this is not acceptable in any terms. Why should any place in India be converted to look like Pakistan? We will never allow Pakistan's flags flying at places in the city where the shooting is taking place," Bharadwaj said.
After the melee, the VHP activists went to police to register a formal complaint against the film's director. Bigelow later said no Pakistani flag will be put in place at the shooting areas.
Station House Officer (SHO) Rajesh Shukla assured VHP activists that Pakistani flags will not be permitted at the shooting locales after which they dispersed. No case has been registered, he said.
"Our objection is to hoisting of Pakistani flags," Bhardwaj said.
The film's crew has been shooting in prominent markets at the Punjab Engineering College here and at Patiala with shop boards in Urdu, auto-rickshaws with Lahore number plates, burqa-clad women and men in shalwar-kameez, chappals and skullcaps.
The title of the film is being kept as a closely guarded secret but for now it is being talked about as Zero Dark 30.

Giant iPhone 4 Costume Just in Time for Halloween
John Savio has been busy this year preparing the ultimate iPhone Costume. He worked for 40 hours over a three-day period building a fully functional iPhone 4 costume. This masterpiece uses a 40-inch LED LCD panel, strapped to a sandwich board. A jailbroken iPhone 4 runs the device. The attention to detail is quite impressive: it even includes the iPhone 4’s rear-camera LED light. This iPhone 4 costume doesn’t quite live up to a standard iPhone’s battery life, however, as it uses a mini 12-volt battery that lasts only about 2 hours. It weighs in at 75 pounds, so I would imagine John won’t be wearing it all night or going trick-or-treating in it.
John Savio is no stranger to iPhone costumes. Together with Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman, the three have built iPhone 3G and 3GS costumes for previous Halloweens. This year John wanted to take it a little further and create a fully functional iPhone 4. Past costumes have used looping video of a real iPhone screen during normal use. This year’s model relies on a jailbroken iPhone 4, but for all intents and purposes, he has built a real working 40-inch iPhone 4.
When I was a kid I always wanted to get the most elaborate Halloween costumes imaginable. I always went as something cool, but never would I have imagined something as fantastic as this. You’ve really raised the bar, Mr. Savio.

Zack Beauchamp has started an interesting discussion on TP Ideas on how and why conservatives love to link race and IQ. Allow me to point out that they don’t just stop with linking race and IQ. They also delight in linking economic inequality in general to IQ, for the same reasons: to make conservatives appear to be the reasonable ones not afraid to face the hard truths about a troubling social problem.
It should be no surprise to anyone that Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, is once again taking the lead in making this case. In last year’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010, he argued that to understand today’s economic inequality you need to go back to the 1960s. Since then, American society has been coming apart. Under the baleful influence of a relativistic, anything goes, 60s morality, America’s work ethic and honesty have been destroyed: the commitment to religion and the institution of marriage has been all but lost. As a result, the less-educated bottom 30 percent of whites have seen their economic and social fates diverge radically from the well-educated top 20 percent of whites. Weirdly, Murray dubs the former group “Fishtown,” in honor of a white working-class Philly neighborhood on the banks of the Delaware River; the latter group is named “Belmont,” after a tony Boston suburb.
A segment of Belmont whites — comprising perhaps 5 percent of the U.S. population — make up what Murray believes is the new upper class. These are the folks who hold the most powerful managerial and professional jobs in our social institutions and really run the country. Unlike in the good old days, they live in a culture that is separate and distinct from the rest of America (think upscale coffeehouses and restaurants, gourmet food stores, “green” consumer goods, highbrow news media, and “serious” movies and TV). They even live together in the same places, huddled together in what Murray calls “SuperZips,” where they can escape the unrefined masses, send their kids to good schools, and marry each other. Oddly, it is this very same new upper class that most fervently embraces the values of the 1960s — and yet they are doing very, very well.
And why are they doing so well? For Murray, it’s simple: they’re smarter! In his view, the sorting mechanisms in our technologically advanced society have become ever more efficient at ferreting out the cognitively gifted among us (elite colleges play a big role) and slotting them into positions where they can reap the market’s increasing return for high-level skills. So the cognitively advanced Belmont whites pull even farther away from the cognitively challenged Fishtown whites, who, you will remember, no longer have even their sturdy values of honesty, hard work, marriage, and traditional religion to rely upon.
As for the problems of blacks and Hispanics, Murray stands by his earlier work in The Bell Curve, where he argued that they’re just not as smart as whites and hence do more poorly in a society that increasingly rewards cognitive ability. So blacks and Hispanics are dumber than whites and lower class whites are dumber than upper class whites. That’s Murray’s view of the world and his overarching explanation for the ongoing pathologies of racial and class inequality.
None of this makes any sense. On the one hand, Murray laments over and over the depth of the inequality problem we face; some of the economic trends he documents are the sorts of things you’d expect a liberal think tank or academic to lament. Yet that overlap has not led him to pay the slightest attention to the careful work these think tanks and academics have done analyzing the growth in inequality (well-summarized in Timothy Noah’s book, The Great Divergence). Murray dismisses out of hand explanations rooted in structural shifts in the economy, slower growth in educational attainment, changes in labor market institutions (unions, the minimum wage), or really anything other than increasing rewards for smart people and declining morals for dumb people. Thus in his quest for a scientific, hard-headed explanation for inequality, he winds up rejecting all the real science on the issue.
Don’t be surprised if this view, as appalling and absurd as it seems, continues to surface in conservative circles. The temptation to don the mantle of science, even when it is fundamentally fraudulent, will, for some, be too great to resist.

For sale on eBay right now is this Hobart 20-quart mixer modified to pay a nod to the classic woody station wagons of yore. It's got a reserve price of $500 and about 8 days of bidding left. If you're a classic car junkie and a baker, this is all you.
'stand mixers' on Serious Eats
A good stand mixer is a true workhorse in the kitchen for anyone who bakes more than occasionally, and just like with food processors, the battle for kitchen superiority (at least for the home consumer) comes down to the choice between KitchenAid and Cuisinart. When selecting one, there are a few criteria that I try to look for.

My close buddy, Mohamed bin Ali drop me a line in the comment section to remind me of the potential Mount Fuji climb. I have so looking forward to this. So what's the problem that you may say?
Its scheduled to be nearly on the same date as PCC Annual Interstate Ride. Consider this:-
a) Interstate - a ride which starts on Friday at Ipoh and will finish on Sunday at Penang. This year, they will close up Penang bridge for 500 odd cyclist to cross the Penang Bridge and subsequently round Penang Island. Opportunity to meet new friends and explore new routes.
b) Climb Mount Fuji - Pay nominal fee for flight tickets and walla, will be in Japan and able to climb Mount Fuji. Its considered not that challenging a climb (more of trekking) and doable. Opens up new horizon and new things to do this year.
Actually, I should be thankful to MBA as he has worked hard to secure this deal and its such a wonderful deal, but why am I in such a dilemma to decide one way or another.

This tough but extremely rewarding route took us through the first hundred kilometers of the typical lagunas route (past Laguna verde) before taking us away from the main jeep route and onto a much less used beautiful jeep track which led us up and over multiple 4,700m+ high passes. This was my favorite route in Bolivia (and one of my favorites in all of the world), and I would highly suggest it to anyone up for a bit of a challenge!
Distance: 500km (San Pedro de Atacama Chile to Uyuni Bolivia).
Time needed: 10-12 days.
Highlights: Beautiful snowy peaks, isolated camping, interesting lakes.
Road surface: Unpaved and occasionally sandy.
Traffic: Not much; six jeeps a day all together.
Best season: May-October; Completed May 2015.
Water/food availability: We left San Pedro with eight days of food, though we were able to find a stream or spring for water at least once a day except for the first two days from San Pedro.
Solo female: No problem, you won’t encounter anyone except for in three small rural villages.
Overall difficulty: Difficult. Very difficult pushing up some of the passes.
It was relatively easy to find places to camp, though it was hard to find spots protected from the wind (though it usually died down with the sun).
No ATMs along this route, and nothing to spend your money on except for snacks or basics in the villages.
This route gets really really cold. It was -15C for us at night in May, and gets even colder in July. We were prepared as we both have extremely warm down jackets and sleeping bags, but we know other cyclists who attempted this route without the right gear and had to pay for a very expensive ride out after the first night. Make sure to be prepared if this route is on your list.
Right after the Bolivian border (across the lake from it) there are “secret” hotsprings and just ten minutes up from them are some old stone structures you can sleep in protected from the wind. This way you don’t have to pay for the busy touristic ones further down the road!
The Pikes on Bikes are definitely the go to on this one; they have GPS coordinates, route descriptions, and step by step directions as to where to go along this difficult yet route. But do keep in mind that they are super heros, and it took us quite a few days more than them to complete this route.
Here is their interactive Bolivian map.
Feel free to comment with your own thoughts, corrections, or updates in order to help others looking to complete this route too.

Malet was predecessor of Peyton
Please also see: Malet, Predecessor of Peyton. Mallet - another spelling
The ancient and knightly family of "Peyton", as it is known to England, dates back to the first Norman period in East Anglia. By tradition and what history we know its origins were among the Norman conquerors of England.
The frater meo primogenito02 marriage which the knightly family of Peyton flowed out of the same male stock when the Uffords Earls of Suffolk descended albeit they assumed the surname of Peyton according to the use of that age from their manor of Peyton Hall in Boxford in the county of Suffolk The first of the family by the name of Peyton upon record was Reginald de Peyton second son of Walter Lord of Sibton younger brother of Mallet sheriff of Yorkshire.
The Norman most closely associated with the first person to bear the name of Peyton was Reginald de Peyton, second son of Walter, Lord of Sibton, younger brother of Mallet, Sheriff of Yorkshire. This Reginald held the lordships of Peyton Hall, in Ramshold, and Boxford, in Suffolk, of Hugh of Bigod; he was sewer to Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and gave lands to the monks of Thetford, to pray for the soul of Hugh Bigod. Reginald de Peyton, who died in 1136, was the son of Walter de Malet, who according to the historian, Camden, was the brother of William the Conqueror's mace bearer at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Walter de Malet, was fairly certainly a half-brother of William de Malet who was named Sheriff of Yorkshire by William the Conqueror, both being sons of Robert de Malet, Count of Normandy. PEYTON OF ISLEHAM1 was created on 22nd May 1011 Extinct 18th Oct 1815.
Walter de Malet, on his mother's side was reportedly of the English family of Godiva, and was a childhood friend of Harold of Wessex King Edward the Confessor who died 5 January, 1066 naming Harold Wessex King. For that reason, it is said, William allowed him at Senlac to give the body of King Harold a proper burial. Walter de Malet was given many feudal estates in England. In the years following the Conquest, persons holding large manors began taking surnames from their manors, and one of these, Reginald, a younger son of Walter de Malet, who was Lord of Peyton Hall in Ramshold and of Peyton Hall in Boxford and in Stoke-by-Neyland, took the name "de Peyton".
In the year of his death, A. D. 1136, King Stephen confirmed to Reginald's son and heir, John de Peyton, the lands of his ancestors01.
Reginald de Peyton is said by some authorities to have had three sons, John, Sir William, and Walter, but it is from John that the Suffolk-Cambridge line of Peytons come down to modern times. The foregoing John de Peyton's eldest son, Sir John de Peyton, "the Elder", was the progenitor of the Virginia Peytons, whereas his second son, Robert de Peyton, Lord of Ufford, took the name "de Ufford" and was the ancestor of the Earls of Suffolk.
The Peyton shield at 'this time was a simple golden cross engrailed, on a black background. Sir Robert de Ufford and his descendants carried on the arms in this design, but Sir John added a silver mullet, or star, in the upper left quadrant, and the arms used in his line thence forward have included the mullet. It has been suggested that Sir John added the mullet to indicate that he was an adherent of the Vere family, great magnates in Suffolk, whose heraldic device was a silver mullet.
During the course of history there have been many interesting and prominent Peytons in the British Isles. They had large estates and married into many leading families, and were frequently the Sheriffs of the shires of Suffolk, Cambridge or Huntingdon.
When East Anglia was the center of the wool industry the Peyton's had prominent sheep herds. They supported the Crown in warfare, in Parliament, and at Court. In 1320 Sir John Peyton, great-grandson of Reginald de Peyton, was a Crusader. By marriage to Mathilda de Bueriss he made one of the felicitous family associations mentioned above.
Thomas Peyton (1416-1484), Knight of the Shire, High Sheriff of Cambridge and Huntingdon, had two marriages. First to Margaret Bernard, daughter and heiress of Sir John Bernard, of Isleham, Cambridgeshire, through whom he acquired the manor of "Isleham". And second, to Margaret Francis, widow of Thomas Garney, through whom the Bury St. Edmunds branch of the family is descended.
Other families coming into this main line of the Peyton family have been those of de Marney, Gernon, Sutton, Bourgoyne, Langley, Bernard, Francis, Clere, Hasildon, Rich, Osborne, Calthorpe and Clifton. The composite family shield of Sir John Peyton (1560-1616), 1st Baronet of Isleham, above his tomb there includes these additional families: Sackville, Tregoz, Mallory, Benstead, Colville, Bassingbourne, Lilling and Burgh. Notable among these sheep owners was Sir Robert Peyton (d. 1518), who owned the manors of "Calthorpe" at Barnham, Suffolk; "Isleham"; "Wicken", "Leyham Hall"; "Barton"; "Water Hall"; "Baddley's"; "Chippenham"; "Peyton Hall"; "Mildenhall"; and an interest in "Caldecotte". In his will he provided sheep in the hundreds for various members of his family and made provisions for restoration work in the Isleham Church, the Wicken Church, the Boxford Church and for a memorial to his parents at St. Giles, Cripplegate, London. He was knighted following the Battle of Stoke Heath in 1487. He was High Sheriff of Cambridge in 1498. His wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Sir Robert Clere, of Ormesby, Norfolk.
No one bearing the Peyton surname has been raised to the peerage but many have been knighted. When the order of Baronet was created in 1611 the fifth Baronet to be created on May 22, 1611, was Sir John Peyton, of Isleham. Other Baronetcies created in the Peyton family include two in the Doddington branch and two in the Knowlton branch, so named for their respective manors.
The Knowlton and Doddington branches of the Peyton family produced several interesting Peytons, one of whom, Sir Algernon Peyton, the first Baronet of Doddington, was Master of the Buckhounds to Queen Anne and another, Sir John Peyton, was Governor of the Tower of London and later Governor of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It will be recalled that Sir Robert Peyton, of the Isleham line, who died in 1518, had a son, Sir Robert, who continued the Isleham line and died in 1550, and a younger son, Sir John, who established the Knowlton branch. This Sir John had an elder son, Sir Thomas, who inherited Knowlton and carried on that line, and a younger son, Sir John, of Doddington, who founded that line. Sir John (1544-1630), a later descendant, upon the death of Queen Elizabeth, was chosen to ride to Scotland on March 24, 1603, and inform King James of Queen Elizabeth's death. He was almost immediately knighted on March 28, 1603, and shortly after the accession of King James I, was named Governor of the Island of Jersey, to follow Sir Walter Raleigh in this capacity. Sir John's kinsman, Thomas Peyton, was the author of "The Glasse of Time", a long poem from which John Milton is thought to have found the inspiration for his "Paradise Lost".
Perhaps not a branching but an extension of the Bury St. Edmunds Branch occurred when many of the Cambridge and Suffolk Peytons went west in the 16th Century because the wool trade of East Anglia sought greener pastures. One of these was Edmund Peyton of Warwick who espoused the teachings of a questionable philosopher named Adam Dainlip and became "attainted", Another established the line of Peytons who built and lived in "Cattespoole", an interesting half timbered house near Worcester.
Many Peytons have represented their shires in Parliament The most interesting Parliamentarian was Sir Edward Peyton, 2nd Baronet of Isleham (1578-1657), who clashed vehemently with King James I and the Stuart "divine right of Kings" position, and cast his lot with his boyhood friend, Oliver Cromwell. In the ensuing cataclysm he lost his fortune, including "Isleham". Among his descendants, however, have been some of England's leading naval heroes. One of the latter, Admiral John C. G. Peyton commanded the Defense, one of England's principal ships in the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Sir Edward's grandson, Major Robert Peyton, immigrated to Gloucester County, Virginia, circa 1679.
Henry Peyton (1590-1656), was a very interesting person, for he made his way to considerable eminence from a modest start entirely on his own ability. He came up to London from Gloucester early in the reign of James I as a "servant" or clerk to Sir Thomas Overbury, a gentleman who had a rapid rise and a rapid fall at the Court of King James. Henry Peyton was admitted to Lincoln's Inn5 and then became a clerk and finally an Examiner of the High Court of Chancery. In 1633 he asked Sir Edward Peyton of Isleham, who was then the head of the family, for authorization to bear the Peyton arms, as one "branched out from his family". By a deed dated November 20, 1633, Sir Edward granted to him the right to bear the Peyton arms with a difference of a "bordure, ermine". Sir John Borough, the Garter, King of Arms of his day, confirmed this grant on July 27, 1641. By the time of his death in 1656, he had amassed a considerable fortune and had a fine residence in Chancery Lane in London. He and his sons sided with the Royalists in the Civil War, differing with Sir Edward, who espoused the Parliamentarian cause.
A fascinating soldier of fortune was Sir Henry Peyton, who died "abroad" in 1620-23 without issue. He was the son of Thomas Peyton, "Customer of Plymouth" and Member of Parliament for Dunwick in 1557, and his wife, Cecelia, daughter of Sir John Boucher (Bourchier), Earl of Bath, by his wife, Eleanor, daughter of the Earl of Rutland. King James I knighted Young Henry at Royston in May 1606. He was Gentleman of the Privy Council for Prince Henry, a member of the Virginia Company of London in 1610, and was an "incorporator" of the second Virginia Charter. According to the "Visitation" of Warwick "he long followed the wars in Ireland under his Uncle George Bouchier and lately was employed (1618) by the Venetians in their "warrens". His wife was Lady Mary, daughter of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, and niece of Henry VIII and two of his queens. In the commercial life of London in the 18th Century a very prominent merchant was Abel Peyton (1721-1801) of the Worcestershire branch of the family. In 1788 he became Prime Warden of the Fishmongers Company, an office now held by the Duke of Edinburgh.
Of the three Peytons who are known to have established the family in Virginia, very little is known of Philip Peyton, who came to Stafford County from Gloucestershire, considerable but not quite enough is known about Henry Peyton, who was the progenitor of the Westmoreland County line
Henry Peyton and Philip Peyton were descendants of Peytons who had moved westward to Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, and Worcestershire. Shortly after the Protectorate was established in 16534, and having a royalist view during the civil war they came to the new world at the defeat of the king and the ascension of Cromwell.
Philip Peyton was the son of Philip Peyton of Bisley Parish, Gloucester, the grandson of Thomas Peyton, Dean of Tuam Cathedral. Indentured for four years to Thomas White, 30 Aug 1665 and dispatched from Bristol 9 Sep 1665 arriving Jamestown 27 Oct 1665.
Major Robert Peyton was the grandson of Sir Edward Peyton, 2nd Bt. of Isleham, and his second wife, Jane Calthorpe, and son of Thomas Peyton (1616-1683) and Elizabeth Yelverton (daughter of Sir William Yelverton, Bt. of Rougham, County Norfolk) escaped to the new world in about 1663 at the defeat of Cromwell.
Peyton of Isleham
Isleham formerly belonged to the Bernards, which came to the family of the Peytons by marriage.

|Dapifer1, server, or seneschal: recorded in English since 1393, deriving via Old French seneschal, from Frankish Latin siniscalcus, itself from Proto-Germanic roots sini- 'senior' and skalk 'servant' (as in marshal etc.). The most basic function of a seneschal in noble houses was to supervise feasts and domestic ceremonies; in this respect, they were equivalent to stewards and majordomos. Sometimes, seneschals were given additional responsibilities, including the dispensing of justice and high military command.. The term is probably of Gothic origin. In the Holy Roman Empire this officer had the title Drussard, or Truchsess (from Old High German truhts‚zo; "sitting in front of" the truth, the "Tross"; Latin Dapifer, French …cuyer de cuisine, Dutch Drossaard, Drost, Baljuw, Swedish Drots)2|
Jure ux.2, or Jure uxoris is a Latin term meaning, `in right of a wife.` It is commonly used to refer to a title held by a man whose wife holds it in her own right. For example, Louis XII was `jure uxoris` Duke of Brittany, due to his wife Anne of Brittany. Category:Latin words and phrases, Encyclo on line Encyclopedia

The Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn5 is one of four Inns of Court in London to which barristers of England and Wales belong and where they are called to the Bar. The other three are Middle Temple, Inner Temple and Gray's Inn. Although Lincoln's Inn is able to trace its official records beyond those of the other three, by tradition, none of the Inns claims to be the oldest of the four. It is believed to be named for Lincoln de Lacy, the third Earl of Lincoln. Lincoln's Inn is situated in Holborn, in the London Borough of Camden, just on the border with the City of London and the City of Westminster, and across the road from Royal Courts of Justice.

Audiographic Records is proud to present volume six of “Consequent Duos/series 2” on its Systems vs. Artifacts digital album imprint. The final edition in this collection of music is a unique and remarkable document that presents two first time duo recordings: Ken Vandermark performing with Jaap Blonk (vocals) and Lou Mallozzi (turntables, CDs, microphones, mixer), taken from a concert at Elastic Arts in Chicago on November 21st of 2019.
The opportunities for Blonk and Vandermark to work together have been rare. The most recent previous occasion took place at the Experimental Sound Studio Gala, held at Constellation in Chicago on July 2nd, 2016. Even so, Jaap’s music has had a profound impact on Ken’s work, going back to his first encounter with “Flux de Bouche,” Blonk’s stunning solo album from 1993 (in fact, Jaap’s interpretation of Tristan Tzara’s “Brüllt” inspired Vandermark’s performance of a piece with the same name on his first solo recording, “Furniture Music,” from 2003). Lou Mallozzi has worked with Ken on two of his large scale Momentum recording projects, “Monster Roster” and the soon to be released “Stammer (Triptych).”
The performances on “Consequent Duos: series 2f//Jaap Blonk & Lou Mallozzi, with Ken Vandermark” (AGR/SvA-018) come from a special concert organized by Lou that combined all three musicians in different configurations (Jaap will be releasing his duo with Lou, as well as the trio set that took place, on his label Kontrans later this autumn). The electro-acoustic possibilities found in the material between Mallozzi and Vandermark spill into the purely acoustic world investigated in Ken’s set with Blonk- Vandermark’s use of extended techniques for clarinets and saxophones were pushed to the fore throughout this concert. There’s no better way to conclude this series of duo recordings than with the conversational give and take presented between these artists.

Up above, Zim's 1965 Topps baseball card, in which he sports a Curly W and appears to have smelt a bad fart. Or maybe that was just the stench of the '65 Senators (who finished the season 70-92) wafting in the breeze.
Zim played for the Brooklyn and LA Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, Reds, and ended his playing career with the Washington Senators. Guess that makes him the original Zim in Washington (with apologies to Ryan and Jordan); and worth noting that he coached for the Expos in the 1970's. Via DC Baseball History:
Traded back to the Dodgers after the 1962 season, Zimmer would play in 22 games for LA in 1963 before being purchased by the Washington Senators in late June. Zimmer would finish his career with the expansion Senators, playing in 83 games in 1963 when he’d hit .248, .246 in 1964 and .199 in 1965, his last major league season.
One summer, Zimmer's wife Jean -- who has gone by Soot since she was a little girl -- packed up the family car with supplies, two children, and no air conditioning.
"She drove from St. Petersburg to Los Angeles. I think it took them five days," Zimmer said. Soot unpacked the car, then cleaned and set up the home for a full summer of family life.
"I get off the airplane, and [a member of the L.A. Dodgers' staff] said, 'You were just sold to the Washington Senators!'" Zimmer remembered.
So Mr. Zimmer called Mrs. Zimmer. "She said, "I've already got one bag packed.' It was on the radio that I was traded and she's already packing up to get ready to go from L.A. to Washington, D.C."
"And that's the way our life has been."
Rest in peace, Zim.

All students in the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools participate in a variety of formal and informal academic assessments to determine depths of learning and achievement of objectives as outlined in each subject’s curriculum. The Iowa Assessments (formally known as IOWA Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) is a standardized assessment used system-wide. Standardized achievement tests or norm referenced tests such as the IOWA Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) are most effective when used to compare the progress of a single student over a period of several years. They may also be used to compare what students know to the knowledge of a normative group of students. Norm referenced tests measure what students know, not necessarily what they have learned in school. A student’s knowledge is influenced by past experiences, the education level of the parents, the household income level, how many books may be found in the home, and cultural backgrounds, among other things. Students should grow one full grade level for each year they are in school simply because they are a year older. Research is beginning to show that student progress on these tests of more than a year may be attributed to the effectiveness of the teacher and the quality of the school experience.
It is possible to compare the average scores of a class of students to their previous scores with some reliability. The analysis is valid in as much as the composition of the class and the size of the population remained the same, and other variables are kept to a minimum. It is also useful to compare class scores to the norm for that grade level to assess how what our students know measures up to what the students in the norming group knows.
Grade level equivalents are used in reporting scores in this report. Students in the Archdiocese of Denver take the ITBS in the middle of the year and are compared to the mid-year norms. The grade equivalent is reported using the grade of the student followed by the number of months he has been in that grade. A mid-year 5th grader would be reported as 5.5 or 5th year, 5th month. That is the Grade Equivalent used at the left side of each of these graphs to show where a “normal” student of this grade would score on the various subtests. If a Grade Equivalent score is more than three years above grade level, it is considered unreliable as a grade level and is used to demonstrate a significant departure from the norm. All students in second through eighth grade in the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Denver take the ITBS.
Beginning in 2014, students take the Iowa Assessments (IA) an updated and revised version of the former ITBS. The 2014 scores represent new base line data. These scores should not be compared to earlier ITBS scores.
How do we compare with public schools in Colorado?

I have always enjoyed crowd-watching in Hong Kong. When it’s spring or summer, you would see vibrant colors in their wardrobe from shoes to bags and accessories. Come winter time, you get to see the locals strut the city streets with hip boots and cover-ups! With this, I didn’t let the chance to cover Hong Kong Fashion Week just pass by.
I receive invites to different countries to cover some events. Malaysia, US, Singapore, HK and in some random way, Myanmar. These invites don’t come with plane tickets though (most of the time), meaning I have to take care of my own flights from the Philippines to the destination. Maybe they think I’m a local? This happens a lot when Malaysia companies invite me.
For Hong Kong fashion week, I splurged on the tickets and booked accommodations with a budget of P10,000. With my super powers in budgeting, I was able to fill everything in.
I was in Hong Kong for 2 full days only. That means, accommodations I booked were only overnight, but I was still able to go full day at the Hong Kong Ocean Park, walk around the parks of Tin Shui Wai, RnR time at my hotel’s spa and of course Hong Kong Fashion Week by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
I have a gift in maximizing my resources. *Wink* *wink*
Themes of different designs were not just a mixture different colors, but of patters and textures as well.
Since autumn and winter clothes mean layers and layers of fabric, it’s a perfect opportunity to match the mismatch. Â Yes, I saw a lot of stripes over polka dots and plaids over crazy prints!
Hong Kong Fashion Week
In Asia, Hong Kong is a thriving hub for design and branded labels. The Hong Kong Fashion Week and the HKTDC World Boutique is a remarkable evidence of such importance of the Fashion industry in Hong Kong.
But all this, is more than fashion itself. HK Fashion Week focuses more in the business side of fashion.
Mind I tell you, there were about 1,600 exhibitors that participated in this year’s HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter.
Everything was pretty much highly automated and their systems ran efficiently
Registration is actually free. Â You can register at HKTDC’s official website.
Details about the Hong Kong Fashion Week can be found here.
Register for HK Fashion Week Spring / Summer 2013 here.
Yes. It was a BIG event! LITERALLY! I think I walked more than a kilometer inside the “realms” of HK Fashion Week today! I was going back and forth the different halls at different floors of the Exhibition Center! It was like it could never end!
One floor was quite huge enough for me, then I realized that the fair grounds cover 3 floors!
HK Fashion Week happens twice a year. The. Autumn / Fall event happens on January and the Spring / Summer edition happens in July. If you want to catch the Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring / Summer, you might want to plot these dates in your calendar: July 8-11, 2013 and register here.
This is actually is the 44th edition of HK Fashion Week. This is my first time attending the event but I can say that it is just as vibrant as I expected it to be! Even if there’s a stereotype to Winter or Fall Fashion as dull and gray, that is not the case here in Hong Kong. It was a brilliant kaleidoscope of styles, colours, fabrics!
This was an open display and one of the sections to the many features of this year’s HK Fashion Week for Fall and Winter.
To respect the designers, photography of their designs is discouraged. Â If ever I took some photos inside, it was just to see the entire venue, the crowd or just a wide view of the different items you can see inside.
I was walking around hoping to chance upon Filipino designers, but I failed to find any. I tried to cover every corner, every function of the event, but it was impossible to do so in 1 day and my time was sparse!
A total of about 1,600 exhibitors participated in Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter
There was a diversified representation of different fashion tastes from different boutiques. Notable spots come from the exclusive designs of labels such as IKA BUTONI, Eutropic, Groupe Pronuptia and 3M to trendy value-for-money fashion from MUSE, Focus, Sub Zero, Gulliver and Orient.
There were also different sections that cover niched intrests like avante garde shoes and Lady Gaga-like shades! For the more highlighted sections: Denim Arcade, Handbags, Men in Style and Salon of Scarves and Shawls.
Of course, you get to see the more popular features like Intimate and Swim Wear, Bridal, Evening Wear, Accessories, Fabrics and Yarn, Sewing Supplies and many more.
They also had the Small Order Zone for groups of suppliers who can handle small volume orders. Like I said, it is more of the business side!
HK Fashion Week usually offers seminars for free on a first-come-first-serve basis.  Some are for invitation only
Same is true with the Fashion Show. Â You can view almost any show you want but you need special invitation in some shows.
A day isn’t enough. Â Next time, I’d spend at least 2 days. Â The fair usually happens in 4 days.
And next time, I don’t want to miss the seminars and the fashion shows!
Specially featured for participants all over the globe, World Boutique showed high style of garments and accessories. Highlight of brands encompassing Che Che New York, MARCCAIN, Pashma, Adlib, Sumy Kujon, IKA BUTONI and Walter Ma.
Over 460 brands participated this year and there were over 15 runway shows this year.
They’re definitely good in mixing creatives and business!
This year, I did not only see a graceful crash of patterns and colors, I also saw the clash of different textures and materials. A plethora of mix and match of different elements. Who would have thought crazy ideas like this would stand out?
By this time, I was already very tired and must have walked at least 2 kilometers inside the convention.
‘Til the next Hong Kong fashion week then,

New Volkswagen chairman Poetsch pleads for time
- 7 October 2015
- From the section Business
VW has appointed former finance chief Hans Dieter Poetsch as its new chairman, following a board meeting to discuss the emissions scandal.
Mr Poetsch said it would be "some time" before the carmaker could uncover the details of the emissions test cheating.
Earlier, Volkswagen said it expected to start a recall of cars affected by the scandal in January.
All affected cars will be fixed by the end of 2016, it told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Only a few employees have been involved in the scandal, chief executive Matthias Mueller added in the interview.
In his first pronouncement as chairman, Mr Poetsch said the company's internal inquiry into the scandal would take time.
"Nobody is served by speculation or vague, preliminary progress reports," he said.
"Therefore it will take some time until we have factual and reliable results and can provide you with comprehensive information," he added, before declining to take any questions.
Europe's biggest carmaker has said emissions test-cheating software is present in 11 million diesel vehicles.
The firm said it would also look into its various brands and models, singling out Bugatti, its supercar marque.
Earlier, Mr Mueller told employees at VW's Wolfsburg home plant in Germany the firm is facing changes that "will not be painless".
All investments that were not deemed absolutely necessary would be abandoned or delayed, he said.
Technical solutions were "within view" and the firm would do everything it could to keep jobs secure, he added.
Future investment in plant, technology and vehicles would be put "under scrutiny".
"We will do everything to ensure that Volkswagen will stand for good and secure jobs in the future," he added.
It has set aside €6.5bn (£4.8bn) to cover the cost of the scandal, but analysts say the final bill could be much higher, with potential regulatory fines in the US, class action lawsuits and the cost of fixing the cars.
Audi, Skoda, Seat
The emissions scandal engulfed the German car giant after it admitted cheating emissions tests in the US.
The company is suspending the sale of 4,000 vehicles in the UK, saying the vehicles may be equipped with the device that cheated emissions tests in the US.
The move will involve vehicles across the VW group including the VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat brands.
VW said it was a temporary measure and that it intended to return the vehicles for sale once a fix is identified for the cars.
Despite the scandal that began almost two weeks ago, VW customers could still buy vehicles that had the rogue software.
The cars taken off the market represent 3% of VW's stock in the UK.

A great way to make sure a revision to a wire is noticed is to change the example you are using ALSO Using relevant examples (text and photos) can go along way in expressing strategy and the strength of the design.
Here's How it Works
In versions 1-3 you used Ginger's Dance studio as the example for a Business Detail page, now you have a major revision to make and want to make sure no one accidentally uses the old versions. Change the example business to Hot Dogs Hot Dogs!
Now you can say, "Be sure you the are using the Hot Dogs! Hot Dogs! version". So much better than "Are you using version 4?"
This works great for big changes but also for small ones would be easily missed.
I know many of you still use Lorum Ipsum but I've switch over to "real" example text/photos as it is a tool for testing the design and expressing the strategy to the team. Don't get me wrong I don't write copy for all places copy appears just for the places that are pivotal to understanding the design.
You can often find the perfect copy or photo out on the the web so you don't even have to spend a bunch of time writing copy when you should be doing one of the other hundred things on the UX plate.

Hybrid modeling of cross flow filtration for biopharmaceutical production
SUPERVISOR: Astrid DÜRAUER
PROJECT ASSIGNED TO: Maximilian KRIPPL
Mechanistic, also called parametric, models are useful tools to describe bioprocesses, but struggle with increasing process complexity. Data-driven (non-parametric) models, on the other hand, can describe relationships without fundamental system knowledge, but require extensive model training. Hybrid models are a combination of both approaches that feature the following advantages: improved understanding of the system, yet not all parts of the model need to be fundamentally understood and lower requirements on the data.
During the PhD thesis, crossflow filtration processes are modelled using combinations of parametric and nonparametric models. Filtration processes are an excellent target application for hybrid modeling since well understood fundamental relations, e.g., transmembrane pressure to permeate flux, can be extended with additional influences derived from data-driven models, e.g., impact of impurities or the influence of using multiple membranes instead of one.
The aim of this thesis is to develop solutions that help understanding filtration processes and predicting the impact of various input parameters on the process outcome. The focus lays on using a minimal data set for setting up the model. Additionally, the model should be easily transferrable from batch to continuous mode to increase its flexibility and further reduce experimental effort. Further, more complex scenarios such as multiple components in solution will be predicted with hybrid modeling, which currently is a major drawback of mechanistic models. The final models are evaluated statistically and compared by means of complexity and interpretability.
This project is carried out in the framework of a Research Studio Austria project funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG.

In the past month, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has snuggled up to two of the world’s most distrusted national leaders in an attempt to prove his diplomatic mettle and boost support rates ahead of a rumored snap election next year. Abe was the first country head to gain an audience with President-elect Donald Trump in a meeting whose kitschy setting, prematurity and air of pointlessness highlighted Abe’s desperation. Then, last week, he welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin to a hot-spring resort in his home constituency of Yamaguchi Prefecture, thus raising eyebrows in various foreign capitals. Last summer, when Abe hosted the annual summit of leaders of the industrialized world, it was with the G-7, not G-8, because the others had decided to uninvite Putin due to his actions in Ukraine and Syria.
Abe is not being a maverick. There were specific national interests tied to these meetings. The confab with Putin was presented as a concerted attempt to get the four islands the Soviets seized at the end of World War II — the so-called Northern Territories — returned to Japan. It didn’t work out that way at all.
In fact, it was never going to work out that way, and anyone with any knowledge of the issue knew that, but the Japanese media persuaded the public that there was some possibility Putin could be bent toward Japan’s will, even if that only meant the return of two islands. This concession also wasn’t going to happen. The summit has been called a bust, but the fact that it effectively destroyed the government-sanctioned verities related to the Northern Territories counts as the only progress the matter has seen in 70 years.
It’s not apparent if the public picked up on this paradox. According to an Asahi Shimbun survey, 45 percent of respondents thought the summit went well, while 41 percent said it didn’t. Meanwhile, 70 percent thought the meeting produced “nothing or not much,” while 27 percent felt the opposite. People are split as to whether the summit in and of itself was worthwhile, even if the majority thought little was accomplished.
These conflicting responses only make sense if you consider the media’s own conflicted approach. Because the official government line is that Russia must acknowledge Japanese sovereignty before a peace treaty can be negotiated, the press has a hard time conveying the truth of the matter, which is that more than 7,000 Russians live on the islands and don’t plan to ever leave. Japanese media relate this reality indistinctly, showing the inhabitants and even interviewing them, but never interpolating such reports into a coherent analysis of government policy, which has always been ahistorical and implausible. If any media outlet indicated the truth — that the sovereignty issue is a nonstarter — right-wingers would immediately arrive in front of their editorial offices and start screaming in protest.
But it was a conservative pundit, military affairs writer Sucho Montani, on the website Japan In-Depth, who provided the most lucid explanation of why Japan will never get those islands back. Beyond the presence of Russian nationals, he writes, the Russian military sees the territories as vital to its security. They’ve already set up missiles on two of them, a fact even NHK has acknowledged, though without elaboration. Russia’s English-language site, Sputnik International, describes it plainly: If Russia returned these islands it would “seriously damage (its) global image” and provide a “little tactical victory” for the U.S., which the Japanese Foreign Ministry has admitted would likely commandeer the prodigal territories for its military installations.
The difficulty for Abe was to get past these inconvenient truths and arrive at something workable, namely a cooperative development proposal that gives Japan an ongoing stake in the territories. Before he could do that he had to address the claims of hundreds of Japanese who call the islands home. Russia does not deny it ejected them by force, but insists the islands belonged to Imperial Russia before Japan took them over following its victory in the Japan-Russia War. Japan says its people inhabited those islands before the war without mentioning that the inhabitants were indigenous Ainu eventually displaced by the government. As pointed out in a Dec. 18 Asahi Shimbun editorial, Ainu activists have always resented Japanese “negotiations” for the Northern Territories because their claims are ignored. Even under Russia, the names of all four islands — Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and Habomai — are from the Ainu language.
The provisional solution is to allow those former residents, whose average age is more than 80, to return to their old homes to visit, a solution that requires not only simplified visa procedures but an acknowledgment that Russia is in charge, and it’s Abe’s task to break the news gently to the Japanese people.
During a heated discussion on the web news service DemocraTV, former Lower House lawmaker Hiroshi Kawauchi stated that the government “has never had a solution” to the Northern Territories problem, and that the sovereignty policy was based on a lie. The 1956 agreement between Japan and Russia regarding future status of the territories says nothing about Japanese sovereignty, only the “possibility” that two islands might be returned “after” a formal peace treaty is signed. Japan gave up sovereignty in the San Francisco Treaty of 1951.
The independent journalists in the studio couldn’t hide their awe of Putin. One called him a “master salesman” who “intimidated and impressed” Abe. Like the prime minister, Japan’s mass media only seemed interested in “the show.” The press were obsessed with a 95-minute “secret” meeting between the leaders, whose outcome was already clear, and a communal bath that never took place because Putin wasn’t interested in scrubbing his counterpart’s back.
“It was like Japan’s national soccer team,” commented moderator Tsuyoshi Takase. “The media inflames the public’s hopes about their prospects, but in the end they’re always disappointed.”
In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

I spent at Barry's place almost a month and the place felt like second home. It is walking distance, from the center, wet market and iCube coworking space. Kitchen is very basic but you can cook simple dishes (but why would you with so many choices of restaurants in the area). Barry is extremely friendly person, around when needed and ready to share tips about good coffee places or local dishes.
We only stayed for two nights, instead of two weeks, because the listing did not meet expectations. Barry assured me that his internet was fast enough for video calls, which I require for work. It absolutely is not. When I tested the speed, I got a 300 ping and only 600Kbps down! I was unable to work and had to cancel 8 appointments. The room itself smelled moldy and the air con desperately needed cleaning. There was no blanket on the bed. Barry invited us to dinner that evening, which was kind, but it does not make up for the negative aspects. I cannot recommend staying here.

Every profile is individually reviewed before it is posted and this really helps catch scammers early.In fact Indian Cupid is so strict that we are sadly ' very sadly ' unable to post any of their profiles on our site because of their membership agreement, but believe me, there are a lot of real hotties over there!As such, they are willing to sacrifice for their partner's well-being.
Internet dating is becoming an increasingly popular way for women in India to find suitable partners for dating and marriage.
Our favorite site for finding beautiful Indian women is Indian Cupid.
Arranged and love based marriages both exist in India.
In the case of arranged marriages, the parents usually get together, then the children either say yes or no, and then the dating begins.
Dowries are also common with the bride's father giving presents to the groom's family, even though this practice is illegal.
It's important to understand how an Indian relationship works, and how it differs from the western relationship ' so you can understand and thrive in your relationship.
In the case of love based marriages, first the daughter talks to her mother, then her mother talks to her father.
Some traditional Indian cultures look down on divorce, and usually even a widowed woman may have a very difficult, if not impossible time finding a second husband.
Generally there is no wooing or meeting before the marriage, however there is an exception if you are a foreigner looking to meet an Indian woman, in which case meeting online is usually the easiest way to get the ball rolling.
Within India parents and relatives have a lot of say over a woman and her relationship.
One nice thing about dating Indian women today is that most urban women are modern and cosmopolitan.

For the Virgo;
The Nine of Swords card suggests that you should try to contain your emotions until you have everything in order. Later you can retreat into your comfort zone and let it all out -- the regret or guilt that sticks like a thorn and keeps you from confronting shattered romantic illusions. Be aware that the fear or sorrow hanging over your head could be taking its toll on your love life or relationship. If this torment is recurring, realize that it isn't about what you have done to deserve this, but more about the natural consequences of something you have been unable to see clearly until now. This is about that moment of painful yet necessary realization. You know you can't go on like this anymore -- there is no going back. Inevitable change must come.

For over one hundred years, succeeding generations of the Oliveira family have continued providing personal, caring, dedicated service; sensitive to the needs of each individual family.
In 1901, Manuel T. Oliveira founded the Oliveira Funeral Homes, Inc. in a home on Grant Street in Fall River before moving to the current main location on Columbia Street. The late State Representative, Francis B. and his late wife, Helen L. Oliveira, continued the family business, expanding it to a second location on South Main Street. The late Marilyn Oliveira Harrington carried on the business after the passing of her mother, Helen. Marilyn's son, the late Robert S. Ferreira, the fourth generation, brought his years of knowledge and experience into the business and carried on operations until his passing. The Ferreira family continues to offer the same personalized, caring, dedicated service that has distinguished the Oliveira Funeral Homes, Inc. from all others.

If you would like your child to start at our school please contact the school office for further information or to arrange a visit. Further information about children starting school is available on the Norfolk County website www.norfolk.gov.uk
Moving schools (in-year transfer)
A move to a different school at any time other than admission to reception, transfer to junior or transfer to secondary is known as an ‘in-year transfer’. This could be a move between Norfolk schools or a move to a Norfolk school from a school in a different area.
If you want to transfer to a school that is not in Norfolk you will need to contact your new local authority to ask about their admissions process. Find your new local authority using the Government’s postcode finder.
Under no circumstances should you withdraw your child from their current school before an alternative school place has been allocated.
Read the In-Year Admissions Guidance before you begin your application.
Please note that all applications will be dealt with as quickly as possible but can take up to 15 school days.
When to apply
Children will usually start their new school at the start of the next term. The timetable below shows the date ranges for applications for each term.
If the family has moved a significant distance and travel to their current school is unreasonable, the below timetable does not apply – the Admissions Team will process the application as soon as it is received.
Timetable for in-year transfers
||Start at new school
|5 July – 31 October
||Spring term (after Christmas)
|1 November - 28/29 February
||Summer term (after Easter)
|1 March - 31 May*
||Autumn term (start of new school year)
*Decisions regarding preference(s) will be sent out before the end of the summer term.
Timetable for late applications for Autumn term
||Start at new school
|1 June – 4 July
||After 4 July**
|5 July – 31 October
||After 31 October
**Late applications will be considered after all on-time applications. Where possible we will send out decisions before the beginning of the new school year.
In some circumstances Norfolk County Council provide school transport - for further information
Norfolk County Council’s Admissions Policy
If there are more applications for places than there are places available, the Local Authority will give priority to children living nearest to the school, according to the following rules in this order of priority:
Children who are due to start school and:
- have a statement of special educational needs naming that school
- are in public care or have been adopted. children who appear to the Admission Authority to have been in state care (i.e. in the care of or accommodated by a public authority, religious organisation or any other provider whose sole/main purpose is to benefit society) outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted only.
- live in the area served by the school and who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission
- live in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the feeder junior school
- have a disability and live in the area served by the school (Appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
- live in the area served by the school
- have been allocated a permanent place at a Specialist Resource Base attached to the school. (Places allocated by Norfolk County Council's Placement panel)
- live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister with a statement of special educational needs attending the school at the time of their admission
- live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
- live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the feeder junior school
- have a disability and live outside the area served by the school (Appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
- live outside the area served by the school
If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data. The address will be measured from the post office address point on the property.
In the unlikely event that distance does not separate the final two or more pupils seeking the last remaining place, a random allocation will be used to determine who is offered the final place.
NOTE: Criteria 7 only applies to schools which have a Specialist Resource Base on site.
Feeder school priority will only apply in the first year of entry to the school.

When most people think of breakups, they think of the 3 T's: tissues, tears, and (at least) two pints of Haagen-Dazs. But what I think of is life-changing, soul-shaking personal growth.
I've had three great loves in my life, and as a result, three profound losses. But looking back, if I could go back and change anything, do anything differently... I wouldn't.
My breakups have been the things that have propelled me forward, shifted the way I see things, transformed the actions I take. Yes, I felt hurt and pain, but I also gained strength and resiliency.
In the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy returns to Kansas at the end of the movie, she is home but forever changed -- back where she started and yet different somehow -- wiser and stronger because of all the people she met while she was in Oz.
I feel the same way about my relationships. When they haven't worked out, though I ended up back where I started, I was different somehow -- changed for the better and prepared to claim new possibilities.
Let me explain.
My first love was Adam -- my college boyfriend. We met at a party senior year, and from the moment of our first conversation, we were inseparable.
I think it was his smart sense of humor that first attracted me to him, but he is probably best described as one of the most logical and rational people you'll ever meet. Decisions for him were always a careful weighing of all the elements. Timelines, checklists, venn diagrams -- you name it, he had one going.
I was, of course, sad to lose my first love after two years together. But, as a result of our two-year relationship, I had learned how to be more thoughtful and purposeful with my decisions. Because of our time together, I'm now better able to figure out where I want to go and what I need to do to get there.
After our relationship ended, I took this newfound ability, coupled with my desire for a fresh start (a desire that I find often goes hand in hand with my breakups), and made the decision to enroll in graduate school -- a decision which in hindsight is one of the best I've ever made.
My second love was Ben. A mutual friend introduced us during my last year of school, and I've yet to encounter someone more kind, loving or devoted. From heartfelt notes to my favorite dinner waiting when I had a long day -- I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend.
Though we dated only a year, my breakup with him was my hardest (we're talking four pints of Haagen-Dazs). But from Ben, I learned to be more open and vulnerable in my relationships, to share my heart and my feelings more fully, to be more giving.
After our relationship ended, I decided to move to San Francisco and create a new life for myself -- a life that, because of what he gave me, is filled with deeper and more meaningful relationships than I ever experienced in the past.
Lastly, and up until a year ago, there was Liam. I met him shortly after I moved to San Francisco at a friend's BBQ. He was strong and confident with an ardent desire to change the world -- a desire that was accompanied by unstoppable action.
Liam inspired me with his boldness and authenticity. After a year and a half with him, I'm now able to speak up and ask for what I want. I'm now able to confront situations head on. I now think big instead of small. And it was through his commitment to having an impact on the world that I found my own strength and sense of purpose.
After my relationship ended with Liam, I was emboldened to leave my job to start my own company -- something I never would have thought to do, or had the courage to do, until I met him.
The people I've shared my life with have unmistakably shaped me. And although I had to face sadness and heartbreak, I was also given the gifts of greater wisdom, heart and courage.
Every profound relationship you have, whether it lasts or not, is a chance to grow -- a chance to experience love and joy and, unfortunately, loss and sadness too -- but I've found that as long as you move forward from these relationships with something learned, something gained, transformed for the better somehow, they don't hold power over you. Instead, you become empowered by them.
So, yes, my breakups were sad... but in hindsight they were breakthroughs, and I wouldn't trade them for the combination of head, heart, and strength that I now embody because of them.
What breakthroughs have come from your breakups?

Board of Immigration Appeals
The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), is one of the appellate bodies for immigration cases. The Board is comprised of senior Board members who hear cases appealed from immigration courts or the Department of Homeland Security. The Board also hears disciplinary cases against practitioners.
How long do I have to appeal an immigration judge’s order?
You have 30 days to appeal a decision by the immigration judge. This deadline is jurisdictional, meaning that if you miss it, you cannot appeal your case, without reopening the case with the immigration judge. Also, if you miss the deadline, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be able to remove you (deport) from the United States. It is crucial that you adhere to that deadline.
What can be appealed to the Board?
As mentioned above, the BIA hears several types of cases ranging from denial of a bond to the denial of immigrant visa petitions to denials of relief by the immigration judge. There are usually fees associated with appeals unless you fall under an exception or you receive a fee waiver from the BIA. For example, a motion to reopen an in absentia order of removal does not carry a fee.
Does the Board publish its decisions?
The BIA decides on hundreds of cases every year but does not publish many of them unless the case changes the current law or is a case of first impression, meaning the BIA had never dealt with the issue. The cases decided are published on the BIA’s website and are usually binding on all immigration courts, unless the BIA limits their applicability to a certain location.
Can I Appeal the Board’s decision in my case?
There are very limited circumstances where you can appeal the BIA’s decision to a United States Circuit Court with jurisdiction over your case. For example, a Circuit Court may not review a BIA decision that is based on the exercise of discretion, like a denial of Cancellation of Removal. The Circuit Court may review the decision if there was a violation of law or if the question relates to the interpretation of the law. For example, if the BIA denies your case based on the commission of an aggravated felony, the Board’s decision on the nature of the crime will be reviewable by the court. The first step would be the filing of a Petition for Review with the court and abide by the court’s brief filing deadlines. If the Circuit Court denies your petition for Review, then you may petition the Supreme Court of the United States to review that decision. If the court grants your petition, then it will be remanded to the BIA for new proceedings.
Who oversees the Board of Immigration Appeals?
The Board is a part of the Justice Department under the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR). The Attorney General of the United States, as the head of the Department of Justice, is the secretary in charge of this office.
Can I reopen my case of the Board if it has been more than 90 days?
Possibly. Click on this link to read more about Motions to Reopen.
The most important thing to remember is to hire an experienced attorney to file your appeal with the Board or a Motion to Reopen. Contact us using the form below to speak to an experienced immigration attorney.

In Draft No. 4, author John McPhee writes, “what to include, what to leave out. Those thoughts are with you from the start.”
McPhee is a master on the writer’s craft. In his latest book, he lets us peek into his writing process. “Writing is selection, and the selection starts right at Square 1. When I am making notes, I throw in a lot of things indiscriminately, much more than I’ll ever use, but even so I am selecting. Later, in the writing itself, things get down to the narrowed choices. It’s an utterly objective situation.”
His approach is similar to mine, whether I’m tackling a writing assignment or client’s project. I gather everything I feel makes sense and treat the task at hand like a puzzle. What fits in where, does it make sense to include this or not, is this detail gratuitous or necessary? The gathering process isn’t hard. What’s hard is figuring out how to make sense of it all.
“The approach to structure in factual writing is like returning from the grocery store with materials you intend to cook for dinner,” he explains in his book. “You set them on the kitchen counter, and what’s there is what you deal with, and all you deal with. If something is red and globular, you don’t call it a tomato if it’s a bell pepper. To some extent, the structure of the composition dictates itself, and to some extent it does not.”
What I’ve learned over the years is the first draft is rarely good. Then again, it isn’t meant to be. The first draft is more about seeing what you brought home from the grocery store and figuring out what you can make of it.
It requires us to focus.
What are you focusing on this month? I have two long-term client projects that will require some attention this month to move forward, several writing assignments to file, and a few client prospects in the hopper.
Let’s do this, March!

Tim Burton's undead puppy will open Fantastic Fest 2012
, the festival announcing today that the 2012 edition of the monstrous Texas genre film celebration will kick things off with Burton's animated feature Frankenweenie
Tim Burton's Highly Anticipated Return To Animation
Will Open The 2012 Festival
Austin, TX--Friday, June 29, 2012-- Fantastic Fest is excited to announce Walt Disney Pictures' Frankenweenie will have its world premiere on September 20 as the opening night film for the 2012 festival, happening September 20-27 in Austin, Texas at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar.
"Tim Burton stands as a titan of modern genre cinema. To world premiere the feature adaptation of his early beloved short is a huge honor for me personally and for the festival in general," said Fantastic Fest Co-founder & Creative Director Tim League.
From creative genius Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) comes Frankenweenie, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life--with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous.
A stop-motion animated film, Frankenweenie was filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D. The talented voice cast includes: Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell and Winona Ryder.
Presented by Disney, Frankenweenie is directed by Tim Burton, produced by Tim Burton and Allison Abbate, from a screenplay by John August, based on an original idea by Tim Burton. Frankenweenie releases in U.S. theaters on October 5, 2012.
For further information on Frankenweenie go to http://disney.com/frankenweenie/.
Look for more programming announcements for Fantastic Fest in the weeks ahead.

IP convergence is here, and it's being driven by the ubiquity of connected smart buildings. In these buildings, everything from security to lighting to temperatures are controlled and regulated by IP-connected devices. Almost every office building, school and hospital has some level of building automation functionality, and these systems are only getting more popular.
Smart buildings just make sense. They help occupants and employees increase productivity and efficiency, and they help building managers reduce capex and opex. Additionally, all of these IP-connected devices can provide valuable analytics, such as peak energy usage times.
Smart buildings save energy, reduce costs and improve user experience, but they also require more bandwidth and power from your IP network. How can you manage this additional stress on your network without risking your network performance? uLAN™ is the answer.
uLAN, or Utility LAN, is an ecosystem of devices that are not traditionally Ethernet-enabled, but are now being connected and powered by the IP network. Berk-Tek's uLAN Extender Series is a comprehensive line of solutions designed to connect and power these smart building devices at distances greater than the standards-defined 100-meter. EXT-100, the first of Berk-Tek's new solutions, is also a PoE extender system, enabling data transmission of up to 100 Mbps and PoE up to 30 Watts to be transmitted up to 1,200 feet. Think about what you can do with those distances!
Stay tuned for more information about Berk-Tek's uLAN Extender Series, and contact your local Accu-Tech representative to learn more about Berk-Tek!

For now, I will just give you my impressions and an overall idea of what happened at the Finale Show. Photos to follow! XOXO
The room filled up quickly and after everyone was seated the judges came out - Heidi, Nina, Michael and Zac. We haven't had enough time to really miss Michael yet, and Zac is certainly doing a wonderful job, but I have a feeling that at the end of season 11 when we see Michael again, we will be very happy... As we were entering we saw Marilu Henner looking fab in a Michael Costello dress. Also cutie pie Jake T. Austin from "Wizards of Waverly Place." He was sweet! Alexa Ray Joel and Kristin Chenoweth were also spotted.
We also saw Jay McCarroll, Nick Verreos, Korto Momolu, Uli Herzner, and many many of our favorite designers from previous seasons of the show.
Anyway, Heidi explained that the designers would not be introducing their collections, but that the designs would be presented "anonymously." It was kind of sad, but I'm sure that it will be well-edited and that most viewers will not even realize that the introductions were not live.
We will be calling the collections, "Designer 1," "Designer 2," etc. until this is sorted out.
We saw eight collections of twelve looks each. I really liked two of them a lot. (Honestly I thought that one of them was kind of awful....)
After all of the presentations, ALL SIXTEEN of the Season 11 designers came out onto the runway and posed with Tim and Heidi. It was great. Also, if you look at what each designer is wearing, you might notice a couple of hints to help identify the collections...
Photos of Project Runway Season 11 Finale Collections below.
Spoiler Alert: Don't click if you don't want to see the collections!
Thank you for reading BPR.

Gamasutra: "The introduction of the Kinect For Kids initiative certainly sounds wise, given the company's push in that direction. After all, who can argue with creating family-friendly titles with some of the biggest names in family entertainment? The problem is: When you look at Microsoft's longer-term goals, things become a bit squishier.
By offering games from Sesame Street, Pixar and other companies, Microsoft wants kids to get used to playing with Kinect - and develop a devoted attachment to the Xbox brand.
Unfortunately, Microsoft might be making its move a little too late to corral the kiddie audience."

Cliquid™ Software for Routine Food Testing, Identifying Food Contaminants, Pre-Configured Methods, Mass Spectrometry
News Apr 18, 2008
What Apple did for music with iPod and iTunes, Applied Biosystems has set out to do with the new iMethods online portal – essentially making it easier for laboratories to perform regulatory testing by taking advantage of pre-configured methods that can be downloaded from the Internet.
Applied Biosystems unveiled a new web portal to share downloadable, turnkey methods that Cliquid™ Software users can download from an applications microsite onto their PCs for easy upload directly into Cliquid software.
The company claims that making the method easily accessible, free of charge, to a wider range of testing laboratories for immediate download could help to identify contaminants at a fast rate to help protect the food supply, supporting continual improvements to food testing. The portal could also reduce the time required for testing laboratories to adopt the new tests – potentially from months to just a matter of days through the new iMethods option.
The methods include those developed by Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX and those contributed by expert users. The first collection available on this new portal includes Melamine, Japanese Positive List (pesticides) and Floroquinalone methods. Cliquid Software for Routine Food Testing offers a simplified interface with pre-configured methods, pre-configured reports and an MRM catalogue in order to customise the required methods, and to simplify the detection of food contaminants, such as pesticides, dyes, mould-related toxins, and chemical and antibiotic residues.

Unlike many international ballet schools, La Companyia is run as a non-profit organisation, and relies on a few local subsidies and favours, as well as a great deal of energy and input from a group of dedicated people. This team is passionate about dance education and artistry, and dedicated to the success of the students.
We do not hold auditions of the same kind as most other schools. We are not looking only for pretty feet and amazing natural turn-out. We love it when we do encounter these, but it is far from our only criterion.
We are far more concerned with seeing a sparkle in the eyes, a true desire to dance, a feel for music and the stage, and a deep commitment to making happen what can only happen when both sides are engaged.
When this all comes together, then even the most unlikely candidates can be helped to find a career in dance.

Some kind of incident involving an all-terrain vehicle, Pac-Man Jones, and his neighbor, country music legend George Jones, has forged a friendship between Pac-Man and George (no relation). I expect them to release an album together very soon.
It's always heartwarming when ATVs can bring together defensive backs and country music singers. It happens so often. Like the time when Champ Bailey took his 4-wheeler for a ride and ended up getting high with Waylon Jennings behind a 7-11. Or the time when Carlos Rogers was washing his ATV in front of his house, and ended up nailing all three of the Dixie Chicks.
I love how Pac-Man's attorney goes out of his way here to make sure that people know that Pac-Man doesn't hate George Jones. This is a man who knows that Pac-Man has enough PR problems ... the last thing he'd need is a beef with a country music legend in Nashville.
"George Jones said that they are glad Pacman has moved to Williamson County and glad to have him as a neighbor and that he and his wife Nancy are two of his biggest fans," Robinson said. "They even signed some autographs for each other. There's no problem between them. They're happy to be neighbors.I repeat, Pac-Man is not going to shoot and kill George Jones. George Jones is perfectly safe around Pac-Man Jones, who loves country music, the United States of America and white people.
"Pacman wants to be a good neighbor and he wants to get along with his neighbors. He doesn't want any problems."
To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about George Jones and I wouldn't know who he was if he was outside of my window right now, singing me a love song. According to Wikipedia, Jones has had four different wives, and if they live near Tennessee, chances are that Pac Man's spit on at least two of them.

If you’ve got your eyes set on Russia for your next vacation, then there’s certainly no looking back! Its grandeur and opulence in combination with the harshness of its climate will cast a spell on you.
As one of the most beautiful winter destinations in the world, Russia owes its popularity to the incredibly scenery and the majestic places it has to offer. Here is a list of only a few of them.
You can’t go to Russia and not visit Moscow! This cosmopolite metropolis of more than ten million people is a fascinating blend of culture, nightclubs, and history. It is so diverse that you may just end up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by all it has to offer.
Top attractions in Moscow include the Red Square, Lenin’s Tomb, the Kremlin and great museums (such as the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art or the Tretyakov Gallery).
Also, make sure you don’t miss their incredible subway system and some of the most beautiful stations you’ll ever see, such as Ploschad Revolutsii, Komsomolskaya, Mayakovskaya or Novoslobodskaya.
The Trans-Siberian Railway
At 9,000 kilometers, the Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world, and one of the greatest rail journeys on earth. It traverses Siberia, connecting Moscow to Vladivostok, and represents a once in a lifetime trip that allows you to explore and understand Russia from the comfort of a train.
The journey usually lasts around a week, depending on your preferred route. And not only are the prices lower in winter than in the summertime, but there are also fewer tourists. That way, you can meet more locals and actually experience the Russian culture.
Taking the Trans-Siberian trip during the cold season will also reveal the true Russian winter you’ve only read about in books; when Siberia is at its most beautiful, snowy and photogenic.
St Petersburg in winter has been describes as like “stepping into a Russian novel”. Frozen rivers and canals form part of a white sculptural landscape, which is absolutely enchanting, and snowflakes glisten in the sun.
National Geographic summed it up perfectly when they said “the beauty and culture of this Russian city are never more pronounced than when it is covered in a blanket of snow. A dusting of white ramps up the fairy-tale factor of architectural gems like the immense Winter Palace and ornate Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.”
The city is a hub for outdoor winter activities, with ice-skating and skiiing the most popular local pass times. Victory Park has one of the largest outdoor skating rinks in the country. Temperatures rarely rise above freezing though, so you should pre-book a St Petersburg taxi online so you don’t have to wait outside.
Now part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage, Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest freshwater lake, measuring a depth of approximately 1600 meters, and completely frozen during winter.
Due to its location in remote Siberia, Lake Baikal is not a huge tourist destination. And wintertime brings even fewer tourists, which is unfortunate because the frozen white landscape is breathtaking and like nothing else in this world.
You can get to the lake either via Irkutsk city or Ulan-Ude, a fascinating Buddhist city. Severobaykalsk is another option, as well. In addition to the extraordinary landscape, you can also enjoy plenty of fun activities here, such as skating, skiing, dog sleighing or fishing trips.
The Republic of Yakutia
The Sakha Republic or Yakutia is Russia’s largest region, covering about 18% of its surface (almost the size of India, as a comparison.) It’s also one of the coldest places on Earth with average winter temperatures going as low as -30 degree Celsius. The record is -67C set in settlement of Oymyakon, in 1933!
If you want to experience an extreme climate, Yakutia is the perfect destination. The coldest period is from December to late February when it just so happens that prices drop and trip costs are significantly reduced. Just be sure to prepare yourself for the weather.

I used PEC's services for my degree attestation for Saudi Arabia. Devyani handled my case. While it took a longer time than I had anticipated, it was probably due to delay at the consulate level. Devyani was very responsive and kept me updated on the status of attestation. I recommend to use them for degree attestation services. ThanksDinesh Khator

Diageo’s very un-corporate culture.
Tuned in to culture on the street, nimble in response – is that the big business we know?
Diageo, a global drinks giant, called on Added Value London to help switch on their responses to the world outside.
Added Value created External Radar, a vibrant digital platform where up-to-date cultural data is accessible to everyone in Diageo – a bank of exciting cultural trends and innovations.
To find relevant data, the Added Value team first agreed areas of key interest and then conducted a ‘cultural immersion’. They scanned real and virtual culture for emerging expressions and behaviour that could shape Diageo brand initiatives.
The process sounds high-flown – semiotic analysis, grouping of patterns and clusters, building of cultural codes – but the result was practical and transforming.
An instance is using External Radar as a source of inspiration to the Smirnoff team for innovation and concept development.
“The external radar tool has enabled our busy marketing teams to feel like they are always connected to culture”, Diageo Consumer Planning Director Helen Blass said. “It’s hard to instil a creative culture into a big business but this tool really helped us do that.”

You know, we all have an opportunity to be great.
Yesterday, I did an interview with a Hollywood Legend and Pop Icon..
Many of you may know him as Biff Tannen from Back to the Future...
But, he is much more than the character many of us fell in love with in the 80s....
He is an artist, a writer, a comedian, and a musician... and his interview was really, really special.
Well, he told it how it is.
He was real.
He was authentic.
He was not full of fluff.
I asked him how he made it to Hollywood from being an introverted kid from Philadelphia...
He said: I competed and never gave up .. but first, I followed my talent...
It was great advice...
He then went on to say: "Life is King of the Hill- we all have a chance to get to get to the top- you just can not quit. You have to compete."
He found in his quest to the top of a competitive Hollywood pool of talent that most quit after they get rejected- he just committed to never quit.
Keep challenging yourself.
Keep studying, learning, and getting better and your craft so you can be the best you can be...
Most importantly: NEVER GET LAZY.
It truly is amazing what can happen when you commit to winning the long-game and enduring the hell that the short-game provides....
So, how do we keep ourselves in a mindset to do this?
Every single day, remind yourself of what you set out to do...
Then, work at that "thing" every single day.
You will get better.
It will take time but you will get better.
When I started writing years ago, I was terrible.
Now, it is truly enjoyable.
The same can happen to you.
Keep going after your dreams with vigor, excitement, passion, and enthusiasm- even when you fail.
Let's go win today.

On Satuday I went to a Books of Wonder signing and went to Strand. Ah-mazing! Wish we had a bookstore like this in FL. Then Sunday was Broadway day and because of those incredibly priced discount tickets I saw TWO shows. Daniel Radcliffe's How to Succeed at 3 and The Normal Heart at 7. They were fantastic. Also, see pictures below =)
I really enjoyed my NY Trip and meeting everyone and while I wish I could just sink myself into all these new books, real life has gotten in the way and I must start studying for CPA exam I am taking in July. So I won't be posting or twittering as much, but please don't forget me. I will still be here.
Also, (per IMM) got some books that just don't fit into my shelves, so look for a giveaway of a mix of BEA books and some older ones!

Lindsay Lohan in court: the white dress, the manicure
But while the judge was declaring that Lohan was "no different than anyone else," the Ministry noticed that the $595 Kimberly Ovitz design won't be available to "anyone else" until mid-April. So, that makes Lilo a little different, yes? (Kimberly is a bit different too: Her dad's none other than Mike Ovitz, the Creative Artists Agency co-founder and onetime Walt Disney Co. president.)
The actress reportedly went with all white to signify her innocence on a charge of felony grand theft, TMZ said.
Lohan has slipped a bit in the manicure department since the four-letter faux pas she flaunted in court last July, but that's probably for the best. The only message being sent was the "Shhh" tattoo on her right index finger -- possibly to discourage anyone from saying too much about the shabby paint job on her digits.
Oh man, we're just being catty now, aren't we? But you're welcome to join in, or defend Lindsay, as long as you keep it clean -- that's what comments are for.
-- Christie D'Zurilla

It’s a fact of life that when babies begin teething, everything becomes a teething toy. Plastic rattles, washcloths, wooden furniture…it’s all fair game for your little one. One of the first nursery items to show this kind of wear and tear is the crib. Since you can’t really stop them from biting on the rails, the next best option is a teething guard. These soft fabric covers come in dozens of colors and sizes to fit every crib on the market, plus they are machine washable. Baby feels better and you feel better knowing she (and the furniture) is protected.

Updating a Historic Courthouse
Salem Probate & Family Courthouse
Higher efficiency of court operations and improved health and safety of courthouse occupants are the main objectives of this comprehensive renovation to a historic, 100-year-old courthouse.
Originally built in 1912, the Salem Probate & Family Court is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project consisted of a complete gut renovation of the 50,000-SF, two-floor building and the redesign of a 20,000-SF addition more in keeping with the style and scale of the original building. The building’s interior was completely reprogrammed to meet current courthouse circulation standards.
All building systems were updated, including new fire protection system, gas boilers and water heaters, VAV air handling systems, DDC controls, electrical service, and generator. This project was designed to meet LEED Silver requirements.

Your questions answered
Your electronic records and how they help us provide you with better care
Recently, you will have received a letter from NHS England concerning the data that is being collected by the NHS to help with health care delivery and planning. This is in addition to information already available to NHS care professionals via the Hampshire Health Record and the Summary Care Record. This leaflet explains the difference between all three records and explains why it is important for us to keep electronic records about you as a patient. It also sets out how your information is shared, with whom and how you can opt out of these arrangements should you wish.
What records do we keep in Hampshire?
All care organisations keep electronic records – it’s part of the Government’s initiative to make the NHS and Social Care paperless by 2018. Apart from that using computers and databases saves time, improves accuracy and prevents duplication. They also help with sharing information which is important to patient care. In Hampshire, there are three types of electronic record which make patient information available for use by authorised care professionals and these are created from your GP, hospital or other health records. These are:
- The Hampshire Health Record (HHR);
- The Summary Care Record (SCR);
We only use the minimum amount of information necessary to help us improve patient care and the services we provide. We ensure that the way we use information complies with the law, national guidance and best practice.
What is the Hampshire Health Record?
Most practices are using the Hampshire Health Record (HHR) which is an electronic (not paper) record that contains information from your GP and Hospital records. With your consent, clinical staff use this when needed:
- It gives the people taking care of you the right information at the right time.
- Health professionals can make informed decisions about your treatment much faster and your care can be better coordinated.
- It reduces the time wasted waiting for information, meaning you can be treated sooner.
We always ensure any information stored about you in the HHR is protected and seen only by the right people and for the right reasons. We will protect your rights to privacy and confidentiality at all times.
Who uses the Hampshire Health Record?
The Hampshire Health Record has benefits for nearly all clinicians within the local NHS and is used by care professionals from hospital doctors to pharmacists and community nurses, as well as your GP. It gives clinicians a much wider view of information than they might otherwise have to hand, helping them, and you, to coordinate your care better and make informed decisions about your treatment.
So, what is the Summary Care Record?
The Summary Care Record (SCR) is a national scheme and is used to support your emergency care. It will contain important information about medicines you are taking, any adverse reactions you have had to medications, and any allergies you have.
Giving healthcare staff access to this information can prevent mistakes being made when caring for you in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed. Isn’t this information already available on the Hampshire Health Record (HHR)? Yes. In fact, the HHR has more information than the SCR but it is only available within Hampshire.
What is Care Data?
Care Data is a system whereby information about you can be retrieved from care computer systems and is shared, securely, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care. It is important that we, the NHS, can use this information to plan and improve services for all patients. It helps us to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another, so we can see what has worked best. Information (which does not reveal your identity) can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure we provide the best care possible for everyone.
What choices do I have?
In general: If you are happy for your information to be shared you do not need to do anything. There is no form to fill in and nothing to sign and you can change your mind at any time. If you have concerns or are not happy for your information to be shared, view the websites listed below or speak to your GP practice. You have a right to opt-out or object.
- Hampshire Health Record: If you do not want to have your information shared (called ‘Opting Out’), you only need to complete a short form and send it to your GP's surgery or directly to the Hampshire Health Record Operational Team. The form can be found at this website: www.hantshealthrecord.nhs.uk
- Summary Care Record: If you are happy for us to make a Summary Care Record for you, you do not need to do anything, we will automatically make one for you. If you do not want a Summary Care Record, please fill in an opt-out form and return it to your GP practice. Opt-out forms are available at www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk/options, or you can ask us to send you one by phoning the Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020. You can also opt out by simply dropping a signed and dated note into your surgery.
- Care Data: If you do not want information that identifies you to be shared through the care.data system for planning health services and research you can object and opt-out. Download the Opt-out Form below, complete it and send it to the practice. Information comes not just from your GP surgery so you have two types of information sharing that you can object to:
- You can object to information containing data that identifies you from leaving your GP practice. This type of objection will prevent the identifiable information held in your GP record from being sent to the secure data environment held nationally. It will also prevent those who have gained special legal approval from using your health information for research.
- You can also object to any information containing data that identifies you from leaving the national secure database. This includes information from all places you receive NHS care, such as hospitals. If you do not object, information that identifies you will only leave the secure database in limited circumstances where there is special legal approval, for example for medical research. If you object, confidential information will not leave the secure database and be used in this way, except in very rare circumstances for example in the event of a civil emergency.
For more details please contact the care.data health line on 0300 456 3531 or talk to your GP practice. You can find out more on the NHS England Care Data website
Remember, opting out of one system does not mean that you automatically opt out of them all.
How information about you helps us to provide better care

The Enumclaw High girls geared up for the South Puget Sound League 3A stretch run with a 57-33 victory at Clover Park Friday night.
The win improved the Hornets’ SPSL 3A record to 9-3 and kept them just a notch behind the 10-3 Bonney Lake Panthers. Those two trail the 13-0 crew from White River and all are chasing one of the top two regular-season finishes and the postseason advantage that comes with placing first or second.
The Hornet girls began the SPSL 3A homestretch Tuesday night, hosting Auburn Mountainview (7-6) and will travel to meet the middle-of-the-pack Lakes Lancers Thursday. Next week’s games start with a Tuesday trip to face the lowly Franklin Pierce squad, followed by a big regular-season finale Feb. 13 against visiting White River.
“We want to pick up the intensity right now,” coach Ted Carlson said, emphasizing his desire to gain momentum heading into the playoffs. One step toward that goal would be throttling the opposition once they get a lead. Teams have shown an ability to creep back into games after the Hornets have gained an advantage.
“We have to step up our defense when teams make a run at us,” he said.
A second-quarter outburst made all the difference during Friday’s trouncing of the winless Clover Park Warriors. A ragged first period saw the Hornets leading 9-3 but a 20-6 rally have Enumclaw a healthy lead heading into the locker room.
Mara Koplitz scored 13 points to lead the Hornet offense and Heather Hitch added 10.

My new friends at Sew to Speak in Columbus, Ohio (Beechwold)
now carry Heather Bailey and Amy Butler fabric. Isn't it awesome?
When I was in Ohio last week I just had to stop by and
see their shop on High Street and it was as sweet
as I thought it would be.
Anita and her daughter April were there working
when we stopped in and were very helpful
in helping me choose my new bundles of fabric.
Actually I told her to pick it out and send
it to me so I would be surprised.
Along with those 2 bundles of goodies
she sent one of their handcrafted, one of a kind,
These sweet buttons are created by April and I am honored that they
included one as a gift to me in the package.
You can contact them and they will be happy
to create fat quarters for your altered art projects.
Keep posted to see what I do with
these adorable fabrics.

Sleeping at the airport can be a challenge. Whether your flight has been delayed, your seat gets bumped, or you have an overnight layover, there are a few things you can do to help you get some shuteye at the airport.
Do Your Research
As a flyer, you already know that no two airports are created equal. That’s why it’s important to do your research ahead of time, so you know where to go when it comes time to settle down and take a nap. While most airports stay open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, smaller airports or specific terminals may shut down at night. You should check the airport’s website or call an agent to check the hours if you are unsure.
It can also be beneficial to check the weather to ensure there are no upcoming rain storms, hurricanes, or snow storms the day of your flight.
Dress In Layers
When it comes to traveling, layers are your best friend. Layers will help you dress for weather changes during your trip, ensuring you’re ready for whatever climate comes your way. They will also come in handy when you’re trying to take a nap at the airport and the air conditioner is cranked all the way up. To choose the best layers to bring on your trip, follow the steps below:
- Choose your base layer. This could be a t-shirt, tank top, or athletic undershirt.
- Choose clothes that will wick away moisture and keep your skin dry and comfortable.
- Pick a middle layer. Also called the insulation layer, the middle layer of clothing will go on top of your base layer. The main function of this layer is to keep you warm and to transport moisture and excess heat away from your body.
- Find a top layer. This layer should protect you from the elements, so we recommend finding a waterproof or windproof top.
Find A Safe Space
Did you know that some airports offer designated sleeping zones for their flyers? From pay-per-use sleep pods to mini rooms and lounge areas, make sure to ask airport personnel if any of these options are available. If not, you may have to find a safe space somewhere in a waiting area or on the floor.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or with a few friends, it’s always good to know where security is when you start scouting out a place to rest. Take some time to walk around the airport and look for the security office or video cameras, and find a nice spot that you feel is well protected. If you’re traveling alone, we highly recommend that you find a cozy place to nap near other travelers.
Keep Your Bags & Valuables Close
When you settle down for a nap at the airport, be sure to keep your bags and any valuables nearby. You can use your purse or satchel as a pillow or footrest, or you can strap your backpack around your arm so it’s not easy to tamper with. If you’re not comfortable keeping all of your belongings nearby, ask the airport personnel if they offer luggage lockers that you can use.
Set An Alarm On Your Phone
To make sure you don’t miss your next flight, set an alarm on your phone. Make sure that your phone is fully charged, and set the alarm to go off about 30 minutes before your scheduled boarding time. You’ll want some time to wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and get oriented before your next flight.
If you’re flying out of the Denver International Airport (DIA) and you’re looking for the closest, fastest, and least expensive off-site parking lot, reserve your space with ParkDIA. We offer covered and uncovered airport parking spaces near DIA. Download our mobile app to save your parking space today!

Ms. Marie Fredette
EPA Audio Visual, Inc
2323 Poe Road
Myrtle Beach, SC 29575
Dear Ms. Fredette
I hope to become a part of your team at EPA Audio Visual, Inc by filling the position of Audio Technician now available.
This is a wonderful opportunity for me to put all of my years of training to good use. In addition to my educational background, I have ten years of experience working in this field alongside some very famous musicians. During this time, I have gained extensive knowledge in setting up the electrical equipment and monitoring it throughout the shows to ensure everything runs smoothly.
I have a degree in electronics but I also possess extensive knowledge in computer technology. I stay updated on all new technologies developed and I have the ability to spot anything that will enhance performance. I believe in working as a team to accomplish the end goal but I do have the ability to work alone when necessary.
I have the flexibility to travel anywhere and on short notice and I am used to working in a fast paced and unpredictable environment. I have the ability to maintain all audio equipment and to make repairs as needed.
When the unexpected does happen, I always remain calm, look for the best solution and get things back up and running again as quickly and efficiently as possible. I have learned throughout the years to keep an inventory of spare parts on hand at all times. This way, I am always prepared to deal with emergencies when they occur to reduce downtime.
Please call (123)-597-1284 to arrange a meeting to discuss the details of this position in person. I hope to hear from you soon.
Resume Attached as MS Word Document

This is a great time to bump up your immunity by adding these herbs and spices into your cooking or brewing a tea.
I love garlic and add it to anything I can, generally 3 to 6 cloves, as I love the taste. Garlic has a wide array of health benefits ranging from cardiovascular protection to immune stimulation. There are high concentrations of sulphur compounds; these are responsible for the aroma of garlic and its effectiveness against bacteria, viruses and fungi. One of these compounds is called Allicin, it is released when garlic is cut or crushed, it has potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Unfortunately, this compound breaks down and loses its potency when exposed to high heat.
It is therefore far more advantageous to take garlic either fresh or as a supplement daily. This can be achieved by adding it to salad dressings, eating it in hummus or in the delicious traditional Lebanese Garlic sauce Toum. In particular when eaten raw, studies indicate that garlic can help prevent colds and chest infections and to reduce both the number and duration of colds.
The leaves of rosemary are used in traditional Mediterranean dishes and impart a fragrant, fresh aroma. Rosemary has strong antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory compounds, which are thought to improve circulation and boost the immune system. Research has shown rosemary extract has both antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Studies have also found that rosemary may be good for your brain by fighting off damage by free radicals. Although more studies are needed there is evidence it may have therapeutic benefits in the prevention of Alzheimer’s and the treatment macular degeneration.
Black and Green Tea
There is something about sitting down with a lovely hot cup of tea, not only is it warming it is soothing in a crisis and comforting when feeling unwell. Studies have shown that drinking 5 cups of black tea a day super charged T cells, a blood cell that plays a role in the immune response. Continual tea drinking over several weeks showed the cells produce 10 times more interferon, a chemical that fights viruses and helps stop them. If you prefer green tea, that is great too. Green tea contains a amino acid that research has shown may work to give your immune system a boost
Although drinking 5 cups of tea a day may be out of the question for most of us, by sipping a cup or two a day there is no doubt is very beneficial in boosting our immunity.
Cinnamon comes from the bark of trees. There are four common types; these are Ceylon sometimes referred to as true cinnamon, Cassia, Korintje and Saigon. Ceylon is considered the best as it contains lower quantities of a chemical called coumarin, that may cause liver damage if used in large doses.
There are records of cinnamon being used as far back as 2,000 BC in Egypt. There is a long history of it being used medicinally for centuries in several cultures. The health benefits have now been confirmed by modern science, cinnamon does have amazing health benefits. It has antibacterial properties, it is also high in antioxidants. Cinnamon has shown to improve sensitivity to insulin, lower blood sugar and has a powerful anti-diabetic effect.
Cinnamon is a wonderful spice and has many uses. It can be added to both savoury and sweet dishes, sprinkled on breakfast or fruit and added to drinks. To obtain the full benefits to use only Ceylon Cinnamon it is worth the extra expense for the long-term health benefits.
Ginger contains chemicals that target cold viruses. It helps suppress coughing and sooths sore scratchy throats. Compounds in ginger can also inhibit certain types of bacteria and it has powerful pain relieving properties.
Ginger is one of the most effective remedies for motion sickness. It has great for morning sickness and the nausea associated with chemotherapy. Ginger also contains compounds that act as anti-inflammatories and has been shown to help those who suffer osteoarthritis. It also helpts with the nausea and pain for those who suffer migraines, as I can attest to.
Another versatile spice ginger can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, baked goods or drinks. Use fresh if available, although powdered ginger is great when fresh isn’t around and has all the same health benefits.
This beautifully coloured root is closely related to ginger and has been used medicinally in India for more than 4,000 years. The active ingredient, curcumin has extremely high antioxidant power. When black pepper is used with turmeric the piperine in black pepper enhances the absorption of the curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%.
Research has shown it protects against cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, eye diseases, depression, skin problems and many more.
Wow! What an amazing spice. Versatile and beautifully coloured, use it in drinks, sweet and savoury dishes and baked goods. Again fresh is best although studies show there is little difference between fresh and good quality dried Tumeric.

Every so often something in the natural world makes you stop and look twice. Sometimes it turns out to be something pretty normal, other times it turns out to be a little more unusual. Today it was the turn of a ‘fly’ to make me stop and look. It wasn’t a particularly large beastie but it was quite striking nonetheless. It had the look of something that might bite or sting with features more similar to a wasp than a fly. Indeed, careful observation showed that it had 4 wings not two, so that ruled it out being a true fly and made it more likely to fit in with the bees and wasps.
It was narrowed down to being a sawfly and eventually to being a honeysuckle sawfly (Zaraea fasciata); it was sitting by the path directly under a honeysuckle on which the larvae feed. It appears to be a relatively uncommon species although it could be more a problem of poor recording – invertebrates (apart from butterflies and dragonflies) are generally poorly recorded as they are somewhat tricky to identify accurately!

Lately, I’ve been working with a lot of contractors who have their own shop space or have other friends and colleagues who have just gone the root of setting up a shop space or have a storage yard somewhere so I made some modifications to the Capacity Based Markup Workbook to accommodate them.
On the Overhead Cost Worksheet I added a new category called “Shop and/or Yard Costs” which had lines for:
- Fit Out (Tenant Improvements)
- Shop Equipment
- Shop Inventory
- Equipment Maintenance
- Other Shop Expenses
It should go without saying but I will say it any way that items like Fitting Out your shop and your Shop Equipment you are not trying to recover the total expense for them but instead you’re amortizing those costs over a couple of years to spread them out as we typically do with equipment according to a depreciation schedule. The figure you enter there is your yearly budget for paying down those costs.
Rent is your yearly cost for the rent of the space or what you’ll be paying in the way of mortgage and taxes if you won the space. Utilities are similarly what you estimate your yearly cost for utilities in the shop space. Equipment Maintenance is your yearly budget for maintaining the shop equipment.
I have put Shop Inventory in this group of Overhead Costs since for most of the contractors I have worked with the inventory costs are small, incidental, and hard to attach to a project but it occurs to me now for many contractors who have a substantial shop operations Shop Inventory (screws, glue, fasteners, etc.) while those inventory supplies may still be too difficult to track and attach to specific projects they should be included as a Variable Overhead Cost since the total cost will be driven by the number of employees you have that consuming those supplies.
Let me know what you think. I think this is perfectly okay the way it is since the idea of the workbook is to be mostly correct and not absolutely wrong but I already think I’ll be adding that option to figure Shop Inventory as a Variable Overhead Cost on the revision I work on.
To learn more about the new Capacity Based Markup Workbook v2.07 you can visit both our 360Difference Software website (The Capacity Based Markup Workbook | 360 Difference 2018) and here on this site at The Capacity Based Markup Workbook.
Or if you’ve seen it before and are ready to purchase it now you can click here to be taken to our new online store to purchase securely with a credit or debit card via Stripe. It’s still just $30.00 USD.

It’s now been 7 months since I first arrived in Dubai with intentions of establishing myself in the Middle East. With the exception of a few weeks of traveling to London to see my wife, I have spent most of my time in Dubai, so it’s probably a good time for an update on things as I have had a fair amount of experience with it.
Visiting a city or country and actually living on it is a completely different ball game, it didn’t take long for us to understand that when we first stayed in the US for an extended period and also didn’t take long for me to get that in Dubai. Dubai is a fascinating city, it really is, you can’t just go to places and do things without being marveled by some of the architecture and infrastructures they have.
Most, if not all, of the working force in Dubai is composed by expats. Either being immigrants from India, Pakistan, Philippines and Lebanon but also, especially for more skilled jobs, from Europe, America and Australia. There was a study recently about nationalities in Dubai and India was number #1 by a lot, UK was the main (still) european country represented and only about 10% were accounted as actual nationals. Impressive.
The main source of revenue for the city of Dubai is tourism, not oil as most assume – although that will apply to the rest of the emirates -, with the next big money moving market being finance.
The UAE are a federation of 7 emirates. Each Emirate has a ruler (similar to a Monarch), together they form a council from where the president, Vice President and Prime Minister are elected. Currently the President is the ruler of Abu Dhabi (that’s also the capital of the UAE) and the Vice President and Prime Minister the ruler of Dubai.
From my experience is fairly more common to come across Emiratis, locals from the UAE, in Abu Dhabi than in Dubai. Maybe it’s a wrong perception that I have, but that’s what it seems like. Just curiosities you also quickly learn. Moving on.
Dubai is a very high paced city, people live to work. Like the US, the working market is very flexible, people switch jobs quite fast and your success (and job securement) mostly depends on how well you do your job. It seems like everyone is always in a rush and except for the very early morning hours, the traffic in Dubai is chaotic. At the same level, there is construction everywhere, in only 7 months I’ve seen probably two new skyscrapers raise from the ground up and every other day google maps still sends you thru a street that either has since changed or doesn’t even show up in the visual map yet. I guess these later things are also the main cause for traffic in the city: hundreds of thousands of constructions workers move daily across the city in big white buses paired with lots of heavy construction trucks and lots of people that just don’t where to go because the GPS is not accurate enough. Friendly tip: if you ever visit Dubai and use Google Maps, never listen to what it says rather look at the actual road and try to understand what makes sense, as the “keep left” or “keep right” usually means you have to decide between 5 different keep lefts options, and five other keep rights. And often you take the wrong one.
By now you may be thinking – what a mess. Well traffic can be quite hectic but like in any other big city you get used to it. If you are visiting, you barely notice these things and if you plan on staying you just adapt. Just like, if you live in London you quickly learn that you are better off not even driving. One thing that you do notice on both situations, visitor or not, is how safe Dubai is. Surely there is police everywhere, but you just feel very safe walking around any time of the day. Its frequent that people leave bikes in the cars overnight, walk on any city suburb at night and leave doors unlocked without incidents as there is just this extreme sense of security.
Now that you have a general picture, I will move on to the frequently ask questions since I moved here as they seem to be pretty consistent! Hah!
Do women have to cover themselves and is the Muslim culture hard for a European?
Muslin women do cover themselves, but for non-muslin women there is no obligation to do so as they became used to the western way of dressing. It’s always a good idea to learn and respect the culture of where you live, anywhere in the World, but it’s not daunting as most people imagine it. You deal with so many nationalities – and in triathlon its mostly westerns – that 90% of the time you almost forget that you live on a Muslim country. You must visit Dubai once in your life, that’s one thing I can say for sure.
Is it always a million degrees in Dubai?
Well, yes. In all seriousness, heat in Dubai in the summer is far worse than Arizona, just to compare it to an extreme weather location that I’m familiar with as well. There were days during the summer when temperature was “only” 41 or 42C but humidity was so insane that my sunglasses would fog when I stepped outside the AC and the real feel was close to 55C. You just can’t train during daylight hours during the summer but, as Arizona, you get used to training at night (or very, very early morning). During the winter it does cool off but never as much as Arizona. Just this week, every time I went for a run, I was dripping in sweat as I got home and it’s late November. To be fair, winter so far is far nicer than Arizona, you can still go out at 4am with t-shirt and flip flops or ride your bike with bibs and jersey only. But ask again in January. I’ve heard that is when it’s ‘really cold’ accordingly to the ones that live here. I’m pretty sure their definition of cold is by now biased. Winter may be the best time to visit the UAE and weather is absolutely perfect for training.
How is training in Dubai?
As a professional athlete this was always my main concern. I did know there were facilities to train at but not until I had to train here for weeks in a row, I understood how well would they work with my routine.
Let’s start with swimming: there are amazing pools to attend and obviously you have lots of open water to explore and dive in. I have found my mojo with a group called Dubai Masters Swimming Club who operate really close to where I live and offer very good pay-as-you-go sessions. It’s great to have them close and since they have morning and afternoon sessions, I just show up to the ones that suit my schedule. It’s perfect.
There are two particularly challenging aspects to riding (and running) in Dubai: first you have no hills in Dubai. None, zero, nada. You either drive to the mountains (about a 50-60min drive minimum) or you are riding and running in the boring flat. It’s OK if you are willing to make the drive out to the hills one or two times a week, which I have been lucky to manage. If you can’t make it, you do have to be cautious of it because while your pace/speed is always higher than normal – because there are no hills!!! – you almost loose fitness if you only ride under these conditions without making up for it. Not quite, but just a way of seeing it at the higher level that I hope to achieve. To compensate both cycling and running my coach, Jesse Kropelnicki, tries to incorporate on the training plan something to make up for it: either low cadence cycling repeats or plyometrics and “bridge” repeats on the run.
Regarding cycling only, it’s extremely safe to ride a bike in Dubai… because you can’t really ride on the normal streets alone. It’s illegal. So you end up having to ride on closed to traffic cycle paths (which they have and continue to build more) or you have to ride with an escort car driving behind you in a group situation. Having said that, its very rare that you hear of a fellow cyclist being hit by a car which is comforting, mostly for the ones you have at home waiting for your comeback from a ride. On the other hand, it becomes quite limiting as you either have the time to drive to the riding places and group routes or you are stuck to your indoor trainer. Still on the cycling side, I’ve done a fair amount of training and racing in the UAE and there are very strong guys to push me, which was something that I was also afraid of missing out after living in Scottsdale for so long where people do take cycling and triathlon seriously. Lastly, just a note for running – running is a easy sport, you can literally run anywhere. You can’t go shirtless, but other than that there is no limit. The humidity in Dubai is always quite high year-round so you just have to be careful with dehydration. Having said this, running would never be an issue anyways and it’s not an issue in Dubai. You have many places to explore over a run, namely the Dubai Marina and Jumeira Beach. Overall picture is that training is easy for the most part and I’ve found it to be quite good in Dubai. Better than I expected, really.
What are the biggest challenges in Dubai?
In my opinion, right now and from where I stand, there are two main challenges: one is cost of living. Dubai is a very expensive city to live on. Rent and food, which is basically where you end up having the fundamental and recurring expenses, is certainly more expensive than the average big city. For instance, I’ve had help with the housing situation (thank you btw!) but if I didn’t, I would have probably left already. On the other hand, wages are higher than normal as well so (I guess) it could break even… if people could save it. It seems like most people have a lot more expendable income money in their pockets but it’s quite challenging to save money just because there are SO many places where you can spend it on: from large brunches to life experiences, from shows to fancy cars. And it’s all very attractive. Most expats only stay in Dubai for a few years so they take the most out of their time here, as they should if they can. Yep, everyone seems to have a fancy car in their garage, you just don’t move to Dubai without getting a car that goes from 0 to 100km/h in less than 9 seconds and then there are so many radars on the roads that you quickly realize that you either drive under the speed limit or half of your income is also spent on speeding tickets. If you love cars, you can just sit at the Dubai Marina or City Walk Mall and enjoy the view – some very cool showings will pop up every Thursday and Friday nights. You also spend way more money on food than you actually need because there are a LOT of good restaurants and places to try out. I try to not even know about them so I’m not tempted (well, without Carolina here wouldn’t be the same anyways). Ignorance is a bliss and I try to avoid dinning out. Also, on the good side of things, gas and cars are cheap and until now there were no – generally speaking – taxes. Soon that will change in the UAE.
The second one is somewhat of personal struggle I have felt with the language barrier between my English and other’s English, especially when talking with some of the Asian expats. I have found difficult to deal with some of the sales persons on many different types of services because it seems like I can’t make myself across. The other day I went to Dubai Mall to get a specific cable and on every store, I ended up hand signaling and pointing fingers to explain what I needed (luckily that always works like a charm!).
Some would put the weather as a challenge, which can be, but honestly, I will take heat over any day of rain and cold, so I will not mention it as a challenge as I feel like its somewhat of a blessing. Not being with my wife Carolina – as she’s also doing what she loves the most in a different location – has been quite a struggle but obviously that is not Dubai related, it’s just a current and temporary life situation for us. I am yet to discover all there is to see, do and experience in Dubai, because I try to keep my life simple and low maintenance.
So, there’s that. An overview of what life in Dubai has been. I will post a different update more about training, racing, what I’ve been up to and what are the plans for the future, as this post is already long for my standards!

State crimes are any infraction of the state legal code. This covers a broad range of crimes, from things like robbery and assault to stalking, drug trafficking, or homicide. The experienced criminal defense lawyers of the Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong are here to help you defend against these and other types of crimes. Here are some examples of state crimes:
- Aggravated assault
- Weapons offenses
- False imprisonment
- Sexual battery
- Drunk driving
- White collar crime
- Drug Charges
- Domestic violence
- Organized crime
Generally, there are two broad types of state crimes: misdemeanors and felonies. A misdemeanor is considered less serious than a felony, but can still carry a significant fine or possible jail time. Some common misdemeanor state crimes include such things as trespass, vandalism, or disorderly conduct.
Misdemeanor State Crimes
Misdemeanors under California law fall into two basic categories:
- Standard California misdemeanors, with punishment of up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,100
- Gross or aggravated misdemeanors, with punishment of up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000 or more
Also, in California, certain crimes are “wobbler” offenses, which allow the State’s Attorney to charge a defendant with either a misdemeanor or a felony.
Felony State Crimes
Felonies are more serious state crimes, most often because they involve violence. The penalties, including imprisonment and fines, are more severe. In California, a felony is a crime that carries a maximum sentence of more than one year in prison. If convicted of a felony in California, you could be fined in addition to imprisonment.
There are few things more serious than being arrested and charged with a state crime. You could be sentenced to prison, forced to pay steep fines, and subject to years of government supervision while on probation.
You Need the Best Legal Defense
What is important to understand about state crimes is that for each charge the State’s Attorney must prove specific elements of the crime in order to gain a conviction. These elements are often difficult to prove and open to challenge by your defense attorney. If you are charged with a state crime, it is important to have excellent attorneys to represent you. The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong are experienced defenders with a well-earned reputation for aggressive criminal defense.

2 years, 2 months ago on Draft Picks Make Fans Question Steelers Character
great to see the team bring in Lindsey and Dixon, both local stars. Also like the idea of having a rookie punter and kicker in camp to push the incumbents. Kapinos has been solid, but I'm sure fans will agree that Suisham needs to move along.

Thank you for the kinds word, Hawk_Eye.
2 years, 2 months ago on NPC 2012 NFL Draft Winners and Losers
I appreciate the honesty though Hawk_Eye.
2 years, 3 months ago on NPC First Round Draft Grades
Not every team got an A or B. There are a few C's and a D- in there. Reality is NOT that 40-50% of these players will be out of the league in 2 to 3 years. Go find me a 1st round of any year where those numbers hold up. There will be busts, no doubt - but in a first round evaluation unless a team drafts a player they don't need or a player that is out of the top 50 on the board, I don't see the need to fail them.
Its the first round Hawk_Eye. Would you like to tell me who in your eyes "failed" the first round?
Thank you Kimmy, I believe that Hines is a HOF worthy player.

Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president VM Sudheeran resigned on certain health grounds on Friday.
The JDU leadership which met in Kozhikode on Sunday felt that Mr Sudheeran's decision to quit is an internal issue of the Congress but it will leave a dent in the UDF image in the long run. The Muslim League, which had defended Mr Sudheeran in his strong stand in liquor policy, is now peeved that he did not bother to take the party into confidence before deciding to call it quits. "Many in the party wish it does not repeat the mistake this time, when the new President would be selected", the leader said. Prolonged treatment is needed for me. When asked whether he will take over the post if the party demands, he said I'm not a party in this. Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala too favours Chandy as KPCC chief as the duo shared a rapport when Chennithala was the KPCC president and Chandy was the parliamentary party leader. Earlier, he had held the post of Speaker and had also served as the state health minister.
He had a tumultuous tenure as KPCC president with both the Congress (I) and Congress (A) opposing him.

She went on, "Today, my father and brother await deportation while I continue to fight this battle". The administration has declined to answer whether it plans to terminate the program, which Mr.
Sudheeran's exit was "a surprise and who his successor is going to be will be decided by the party high command", senior Congress leader K. Sudhakaran said.
Sources close to Sudheeran said that there was no response from the high command and Sudheeran was in no mood to relent. "Once elected, the KPCC president has to look beyond groups", he told mediapersons at the Kasaragod Guest House.
He told the club's official website, "We played well, controlled the game and we were risky in certain moments of the game". Subs: Funes Mori 5, Gueye 5. "Arsenal are normally strong and have good players, so it will be really tough to catch them".
I spoke to the Barca players - they told me it was over. "What defines this victory is the faith that the players and fans had". Shambolic defending: Barca's hopes were further raised five minutes before the break thanks to more shambolic PSG defending.
Park's parliamentary impeachment in December came after weeks of Saturday rallies that drew millions who wanted her resignation. A presidential election must be held in 60 days if the impeachment is upheld.
"Ban our foreign minister from flying however much you like, but from now on let's see how your flights will land in Turkey". The Dutch government were accused of buckling under pressure from Wilders' minority anti-Islam, anti-immigration party, PVV.

FSU falls to 6-4 against teams now ranked in the Coaches Poll, and 8-6 against teams that were ranked when the 'Noles played them. Giving up all that size, Notre Dame predictably got outrebounded 41-23, but they shot and defended so well it didn't matter.

Cerion: A web-based resource for Cerion research and identification
Land snails of the family Cerionidae are endemic to islands of the tropical western Atlantic. They range from the barrier islands and keys of southern Florida, throughout the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, Cayman Islands, western Virgin Islands, and the Dutch Antilles, but are absent in Jamaica, the Lesser Antilles, and coastal Central and South America. These snails live on terrestrial vegetation, usually within a few hundred meters of the shore, but occasionally a kilometer or more from the sea, in areas where salt spray can reach them. Cerion live in dense but patchy populations, often containing ten thousand or more individuals. They can be conspicuously abundant when living on open vegetation, less so when living in leaf litter. Individual populations tend to be fairly uniform in the size and morphology of their shells. Clench (1938:524) noted that the greater the isolation of the population, the greater is the uniformity among its members. Variation in shell morphology among populations can be enormous, not only throughout the geographic range of Cerion, but even among neighboring populations separated by less than 100 meters. This lavish yet geographically circumscribed diversity has led to an extensive body of literature dealing with Cerionidae. Much of the early work was primarily descriptive, and focused on parsing the various phenotypes among roughly 600 nominal species and nearly two dozen genera or subgenera. More recent research, particularly the work of Mayr, Gould, Woodruff, Goodfriend, as well as their students and collaborators addressed more basic biological questions, among them the origins as well as the geographic and temporal stability of morphological and genetic diversity, and the dynamics of hybrid zones and biogeographic patterns, both Holocene and Recent.
The fossil record of Cerion extends to the early Miocene of Florida (see Eostrophia) and possibly to the Upper Cretaceous of Montana (see Cerion acherontis), although records older than of Pleistocene age are very rare. The greatest diversity of Cerion occurs on Cuba and in the islands of the Bahamas. However, it should be remembered that most the present range of the genus, including southern Florida and many of the Bahamian Islands were submerged as recently as the Eemian interglacial era (125,000 years before present), and have been recolonized since that time.
Many researchers have conjectured that perhaps only 10-20% of the species named within Cerionidae will eventually be found to represent valid species, the rest may be subspecies, demes or merely distinctive combinations of alleles. Although Gould and Paull (1978) reduced the 11 described species from Hispanola to the Virgin Island to a single species using multivariate analyses of shell characters, they reported that 95% of the specimens could be sorted to their source populations using this data.
Cerion are remarkably well suited to studies on many aspects of evolution, population genetics, parapatric and allopatric differentiation.
The purpose of this website is to facilitate such studies by providing taxonomic, biogeographic and bibliographic information about the family Cerionidae. Included is a searchable database of all taxa proposed within the family Cerionidae. Entries for species level taxa provide an abbreviated synonymy that is linked to the bibliography, the text [and if needed an English translation] of the original description, five views of the primary type specimen, as well as information on the type locality and distribution. Also included are links that will enable the user to search the holdings of major museums, and GenBank.
Geographical search features allow the user to examine and identify the named taxa from each island from which Cerion has been reported either by selecting from a list of islands of through the use of a map. A comprehensive bibliography of the Cerionidae is also included.
This website is still a work in progress. Comments, corrections, suggestions and additional data on Cerion may be sent to: Harasewych@si.edu
This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant # EAR 0106936 to S. J. Gould, G. Goodfriend and M. G. Harasewych. This site is hosted by the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution and edited by M. G. Harasewych and Y. Villacampa.

TXT, the rookie band from BTS agency Big Hit Entertainment, on Monday returned to the music scene with the group’s first full-length album, “The Dream Chapter: Magic.”
The new album arrives seven months since the five-piece act -- leader Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huening Kai -- made a much-anticipated debut in March with EP “The Dream Chapter: Star.”
TXT poses during a media showcase in Seoul on Monday (Big Hit Entertainment)
The new eight-track album is led by “Run Away,” a synth-pop tune that highlights its bright energy and vigorous choreography, followed by “New Rules,” “Roller Coaster,” “Poppin’ Star,” “Can’t We Just Leave the Monster Alive,” “Magic Island,” “20cm” and “Angel or Devil.”
At a showcase held in Seoul, the band performed “Run Away” on the stage for the first time, and expressed excitement and ambition with the release, as well as the pressure as Big Hit’s first boy band after BTS.
“CEO Bang Si-hyuk told us to just trust the company and do our best. He told us that we are doing well. We are grateful that he gave us a lot of advice as we prepared the album,” said Yeonjun.
“RM (of BTS) told us that our concept trailer (for the new album) looked great,” said Taehyun. “BTS seonbae (senior colleagues) always tell us that our mindset on the stage is important. We have to be confident, thinking why we are on the stage, and who we are performing for.”

On being compared to superstar labelmate BTS, TXT added it’s an honor to even be mentioned together with such a “great seonbae.” “Rather than trying to differentiate (from BTS), we are still at a learning stage,” said Taehyun.
“Big Hit and BTS have given us very large wings,” said Soobin. “In order to fly high with the wings, we need a strong body. That’s why we are preparing hard. We will work hard to become a hoobae (junior colleague) that (BTS) is proud of.”
When asked whether TXT would be active in album production in the future, such as writing and composing songs, the bandmates said they are working hard and would like to see their self-produced songs on future releases.
The bandmates -- aged 17 to 20 years old -- also shared how they cope with the pressure of debuting at such young ages and working in the rigorous entertainment industry.
“It would be a lie if I say I don’t have any pressure,” said the group’s youngest, Beomgyu. “There is pressure, but it also gives us driving force to prepare harder. And I think it allowed us to bring a well-made album to fans.”
Going forward, TXT talked about their goals and hopes with this album, as well as their future activities.
“As we prepared for a long time, we want to showcase a more perfect performance and well-made album with improved singing and dancing abilities,” said Beomgyu. “We want to promote with good health and communicate with as many fans as possible.”
“Just like our debut album received lots of love, I hope to receive love with this album,” said Huening Kai. “Our goal this year is to receive rookie awards at the year-end shows.”

There are 57 million potential consumers of Guatemalan products in the states of Mexico and Panama, which will be targeted in the second edition of the Mesa Mesoamerica, which is being run by the Guatemalan Association of Exporters (Agexport).
Mesa Mesoamerica aims to increase exports of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In the first edition of the event, 25 SMEs managed to break into the markets of Cancun and Merida, Mexico, San Salvador, El Salvador, San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and San Jose, Costa Rica.
In this new opportunity, they are targeting markets in the Mexican states of Puebla and Toluca, and Panama, where there are at least 57 million potential consumers, according to the directors of the Agexport.
"This project brings the hand to SMEs seeking new business deals and expand their markets in the region," said Francisco Menendez, chairman of that body export.
65% of the participants in the first edition of the Bureau was able to do business Mesoamerica. "

More on this topic
Companies involved in this project led by Agexport attended 157 meetings, closing deals of $5 million in the first six months.
Agexport President, Francisco Menendez, said that 65% of small and medium businesses managed to close business using the methodology of the Mesa Mesoamerica.
Six companies from the food, agriculture and plastic's industries visited Mexico to present their products for export.
From a note from the Guatemalan Exporters Association (AGEXPORT):
Under the framework of the Mesoamerican Mesa proyect by AGEXPORT, 6 food companies, from the agricultural, foods and plastics industry visited the Mexican cities, Mexico City, Toluca and Puebla, and met with Fernando Andrade Díaz-Durán, Ambassador of Guatemala to Mexico, and COMCE representatives from that country, in order to present their export projects, and show their willingness to do business with the neighboring country.
Between 22 and 29 of October Guatemalan businessmen will be exploring business opportunities in various sectors of the Italian economy.
During the trade mission, organized by the Italian-Guatemalan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Agexport, deals are expected to be struck worth around $1 million.
The "Encadenamientos Empresariales" (business linking or chaining) program from Agexport will be presented in other countries.
The Guatemalan Association of Exporters (Agexport) has developed the program for five years, supporting and training 54 rural SMEs.
Agexport Development Manager, Ivan Buitrón said to Sigloxxi.com"...each country should adapt the model to their own needs, but the main idea is to promote public-private partnerships and train farmers reducing poverty and improving nutrition."

At the end of an evening meeting, Raven announced, "The Assembly Oak will preside tomorrow night."Verse
Woodpecker said, "This I'll have to see."
Next night, Raven appeared at his usual place in the circle. Woodpecker said, "You said the Assembly Oak would preside tonight."
Raven said, "I'm here, but I've forgotten what I was going to say."
Sometimes, before I forget,
I know I'm going to.
I could write myself a note, I suppose.
Let the trees pick up my slack.

Guadalupe Home & School Club
October 2017 Updates
On Mr. Izor Leaving
Dear Guadalupe Families,
At this point, I’m sure you are aware that our well-loved principal, Mr. Izor is leaving Guadalupe. I know that we are all shocked and saddened by the news, as he has brought so much to Guadalupe in such a short time. We will truly miss his enthusiasm, leadership and “we’re all in this together” attitude, but mostly, we’ll miss the way he made each one of our children feel special and important. In one of my first conversations with Mr. Izor, he told me that his goal was to learn every child’s name by the end of the year. At 600+ kids, that seemed quite a feat…but every time I saw him at school with students, darn if he didn’t know them all! He spent his time, not in his office, but outside…during drop off, recess, lunch and pickup. He’s been a presence in the classroom, demonstrating his support to not only the students, but teachers as well. Additionally, he’s always made himself available to parents. In working closely with him representing the Home and School Club, I have experienced how committed he’s been to supporting us in our efforts to provide enrichment programs to the classrooms as well as community events. For all these reasons, and more, and on behalf of the Guadalupe Home and School Club, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Mr. Izor. While we are sad that he will no longer serve as principal at Guadalupe, we want to wish him the very best in his new job and future endeavors!
Staff changes in the middle of the school year are always difficult. As far as the Home and School Club’s fundraising efforts, planned programs and upcoming events, Mr. Izor has assured us that he will work closely with our new interim principal, Dr. Stark, to ensure that everything continues, business as usual. Mr. Izor has, and will continue to be spending a large part of his remaining time working to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone.
So, in true Grizzly fashion, let’s continue working together to ensure that our kids have the best possible experience here at Guadalupe!

Market Matrimony Communications Consultants Advocate the Marriage Between Shareholders and Corporations.
The wedding season has arrived this summer, which means not only fireworks, flowers, beautiful designer gowns, tuxedos and people spending half their salaries on wedding lists, but also pairs of souls bound for life, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.
For better or for worse is not always easy. Marriages that last a lifetime need an extra dose of planning, a sprinkle of good faith and a pinch of foresight. Just like human beings, corporate organizations make vows to their stakeholders and decide to engage in a long term union, expecting the beautiful and glowing life “à deux,” only to realize it takes more than love to make a marriage successful.
When people are engaged they are eager to show their finest and most admirable qualities and behavior. They are enthusiastic to confirm to their soul mate that they have all the outstanding qualities and the most favorable persona. They are both excited to discover their shared values and beliefs. In fact, they are building their image as the best future husband and wife. They are striving to capture the other person’s heart in a way that ensures they could never think of marrying someone else.
This period of courtship is similar to when a company first enters into a new venture, whether establishing itself on the market or launching new products and services. During this crucial period, the company’s main objective is to build a particular brand image that would ultimately attract its targeted stakeholders. These can include employees, customers, suppliers, investors and the general public. Employees, for example, will only join a company if they can identify themselves with its image. This brand image is the most important asset for the company as it establishes its personality and differentiates it from the competition. A meticulous branding strategy driven by the company’s aspired image should therefore be developed at the first stage of a new venture, serving as the basis of future relationships with different stakeholders.
‘Getting to know each other’ soon leads to popping the question and a marriage proposal to the woman, or more commonly today, the man of one’s dreams. Similarly, a company backed with a meticulous brand image “proposes” to its stakeholders by asking them to invest, be employed, become clients or join the company. For this “engagement” to take place, the man and woman, or in another case, the company and its stakeholders, should share the same values. This is absolutely crucial before plunging into marriage or partnership. Values are what make up the core of a person or an organization. These are the beliefs, principles and standards which they abide by in each and every aspect of life or business.
Having established a set of values and gotten engaged, it is now time to talk about marriage. A couple should at this stage discuss and plan their future together. Two independent human beings are about to take a step forward and make vows to be together for the rest of their lives. These two people in love should now project a vision of their life together. Just like that, a company plans a union with its stakeholders. At this stage, a couple should discuss the potential of raising a family together. Similarly, a company should project how it will stand in the next five years or so, clearly defining its vision and objectives, and then communicating these to its stakeholders. All actions and initiatives that follow should be aligned in order to ensure that the mission is being applied and the vision reached.
When the big day comes, two people become bound for life. After the rosy pre-wedding period and the beautiful reception, real life, with all its ups and downs, begins. No matter how strong love is, a marriage cannot survive or succeed without transparency, a vertebra in the backbone of marriage which keeps a couple together. It is essential to remain transparent about all emotional issues, financial matters and future plans, whether communicating with one’s partner or stakeholders. A company, like a husband or wife, must provide timely and accurate information to its stakeholders and communicate as frequently as possible through two-way communication mechanisms. Open communication is the key to avoiding potential negative attacks and ascertains the company’s credibility.
Another vertebra is consistency in image and substance. One day of “I Love You’s” followed by another day of the cold shoulder makes a marriage rocky. A couple should maintain a level of consistency in the way they deal with and react to each other. Following the same logic, a company committed to its stakeholders should abide by a high level of consistency and avoid any kind of schizophrenia in its image and business conduct. As such, the company should adopt a clear communication strategy which ensures alignment and consistency across all messages.
However, consistency does not necessarily suggest routine and predictable behavior. Communication between a husband and his wife can be translated into various gestures of appreciation. Some of these gestures can cost a foot, arm and a leg while others can be extremely easy on the pocket. One husband can express his love to his wife by buying expensive jewelry; another can opt for the low-cost option and leave small post-its all over the house or write cute notes on the bathroom mirror.
There are innumerable channels that can convey a person’s or a company’s message to a specific audience. These channels can range in price, but the key is to achieve cost efficiency by using the best channel for the particular message. For example, instead of launching an expensive advertising campaign, a company might only need targeted ongoing initiatives like viral videos, round-table meetings, editorials and articles. Diversification in communication helps avoid routine and preserves the impact of a communication message.
On the other hand, no matter how diversified the communication between a couple, all marriages are exposed to crises. These crises can emerge when many small issues remain unresolved and the smallest argument, regardless of its importance, becomes the straw that breaks a camel’s back. A person can avoid these crises by solving all issues before they accumulate and by knowing what irritates their spouse.
Crises in the corporate world can emerge in the same way as in marriage, and can also be avoided by the same crisis management logic. Just like in marriages, crises that are not resolved in the corporate world can lead to a “divorce” and can have damaging repercussions on the company’s image, reputation and financial equity. Establishing an effective crisis management mechanism, just like going through marriage guidance counseling, can address and mitigate crises through effective communication messages and initiatives. Moreover, these crises can be avoided altogether through preemptive measures that primordially consist of a solid communication strategy that can provide a company’s image with a shield of immunity against any potential negativity. Additionally, in the unforeseen and much unwanted event of a “divorce,” a good communication strategy would spare the two parties deep or irrevocable injury, whereby they decide to separate but still remain on good terms.
As psychologist Michael Cavanagh once said, communication in a love relationship is like an intravenous feeding tube that is attached to each partner. The relationship flourishes when nutrients flow through the tube; it turns toxic when poison is fed through it, and becomes anemic when little or nothing flows through it. Similarly, the amorous relationship between a corporate organization and its stakeholders requires just the right amount of “nutritious” communication in order for it to thrive happily ever after.

Skip to comments.CIA Missed Chances to Tackle al-Qaida
Posted on 08/26/2007 8:00:15 AM PDT by VxH
WASHINGTON - It took an act of Congress to force the CIA to lift the veil on its watchdog's internal investigation that lays out the agency's many failures in the months and years before Sept. 11, 2001.
Three CIA directors disparaged the document. Multiple requests under the Freedom of Information Act collected dust.
Finally, on Tuesday, with the clock ticking on Congress' 30-day deadline to release the report, CIA Director Michael Hayden reluctantly caved in.
Completed in June 2005, the report lays out in greater detail what has long been known: The CIA's top leaders failed to use their available powers, never developed a comprehensive plan to stop al-Qaida and missed crucial opportunities to thwart two hijackers in the run-up to Sept. 11.
"The agency and its officers did not discharge their responsibilities in a satisfactory manner," the CIA inspector general found.
"They did not always work effectively and cooperatively," the report stated.
Yet the review team led by Inspector General John Helgerson found neither a "single point of failure nor a silver bullet" that would have stopped the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
In a statement, Hayden said the decision to release the report was not his choice or preference, but that he was making the report available as required by Congress in a law President Bush signed earlier this month.
"I thought the release of this report would distract officers serving their country on the front lines of a global conflict," Hayden said. "It will, at a minimum, consume time and attention revisiting ground that is already well plowed."
The report does cover terrain heavily examined by a congressional inquiry and the Sept. 11 Commission. However, the CIA watchdog's report goes further than previous reviews to examine the personal failings of individuals within the agency who led the pre-9/11 efforts against al-Qaida.
Helgerson's team found that no CIA employees violated the law or were part of any misconduct. But it still called on then-CIA Director Porter Goss to form accountability boards to look at the performance of specific individuals to determine whether reprimands were called for.
The inquiry boards were recommended for officials including former CIA Director George Tenet, who resigned in July 2004; his Deputy Director for Operations Jim Pavitt; Counterterrorism Center Chief Cofer Black and the agency's executive director, who was not further identified. Other less senior officials were also tagged for accountability reviews, but identifying information was removed from the report's public version.
In a statement, Tenet said the inspector general is "flat wrong" about the lack of plan.
"There was in fact a robust plan, marked by extraordinary effort and dedication to fighting terrorism, dating back to long before 9/11," he said. "Without such an effort, we would not have been able to give the president a plan on Sept. 15, 2001, that led to the routing of the Taliban, chasing al-Qaida from its Afghan sanctuary and combating terrorists across 92 countries."
In October 2005, Goss rejected the recommendation for the inquiry boards. He said he had spoken personally with the current employees named in the report, and he trusted their abilities and dedication. "This report unveiled no mysteries," Goss said.
Hayden stuck by Goss's decision.
Providing a glimpse of a series of shortfalls laid out in the longer, still-classified report, the executive summary says:
- U.S. spy agencies, which were overseen by Tenet, lacked a comprehensive strategic plan to counter Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11. The inspector general concluded that Tenet "by virtue of his position, bears ultimate responsibility for the fact that no such strategic plan was ever created."
- The CIA's analysis of al-Qaida before Sept. 2001 was lacking. No comprehensive report focusing on bin Laden was written after 1993, and no comprehensive report laying out the threats of 2001 was assembled. "A number of important issues were covered insufficiently or not at all," the report found.
- The CIA and the National Security Agency tussled over their responsibilities in dealing with al-Qaida well into 2001. Only Tenet's personal involvement could have led to a timely resolution, the report concluded.
- The CIA station charged with monitoring bin Laden - code-named Alec Station - was overworked, lacked operational experience, expertise and training. The report recommended forming accountability boards for the CIA Counterterror Center chiefs from 1998 to 2001, including Black.
- Although 50 to 60 people read at least one CIA cable about two of the hijackers, the information wasn't shared with the proper offices and agencies. "That so many individuals failed to act in this case reflects a systemic breakdown.... Basically, there was no coherent, functioning watch-listing program," the report said. The report again called for further review of Black and his predecessor.
While blame is heaped on Tenet and his deputies, the report also says that Tenet was forcefully engaged in counterterrorism efforts and personally sounded the alarm before Congress, the military and policymakers. In a now well-known 1998 memo, he declared, "We are at war."
The trouble, the report said, was follow-up.
The inspector general did take exception to findings of Congress' joint inquiry into 9/11. For instance, the congressional inquiry found that the CIA was reluctant to seek authority to assassinate bin Laden. Instead, the inspector general believed the problem was the agency's limited covert-action capabilities.
The CIA's reliance on a group of sources with questionable reliability "proved insufficient to mount a credible operation against bin Laden," the report said. "Efforts to develop other options had limited potential prior to 9/11."
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, said the CIA has learned from the past and has corrected many of these shortcomings, but has to do more.
"Sadly, the CIA's 9/11 accountability review serves as a sobering reminder that the Bush Administration policies for the past six years have failed to capture or kill Osama bin Laden," the West Virginia Democrat said. "Nor have the administration's policies deprived Osama bin Laden and other senior al-Qaida leaders of the safe haven they need to plot against the United States."
Lets not forget that CIA took orders from the likes of Sandy Berger (Burglar) and that this “report” smells like cover.
Its an attempt to get the blame off the White House (Clinton) for not giving attack orders when they had Osama in the crosshairs.
This is a 2008 election timed release of info in my opinion.
This is to help the Clinton campaign.
This can’t be true.
It was on Clinton’s watch and Billary was in charge.
Will she be reusing their old plan?
“Bill Clinton told the crowd his wife would make the strongest president among those seeking to succeed Bush in January 2009 because she has the best plans to deal with national security, climate change, health care and education”
The buck stops with the President. Amazing how the same PC Media that wants to make Bush responsible for hurricanes and bridge collapses continually manufactures scapegoats for Clinton’s 8 years of grotesque incompetence.
Has either Bill or Hillary told us this “plan”? Or is it secret like John Kerry’s 2004 plan was?
Almost as if it is being shoved down the memory hole.
Playing politics with National Security are we senator?
Notice how the story doesn't pinpoint the time-line of these failures to get Bin Laden. Wonder why?
It is Bush’s Fault!!!! Well, in this case it was for not getting rid of Tenet and a ton of the socialists that found their way into the CIA during Clinton’s administration and earlier.
The CIA was weak and ineffective under the Clinton administration because comrade Klinton was more interested in implementing “Don’t ask Don’t Tell” than he was in protecting the nation he was supposed to be leading.
Why did CLINTON refuse 3 Free offers from the Sudan during the 1990’s to give us our No. 1 terrorist enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter before he could hit us real hard after CLINTON had already left office..?
For the same reason CLINTON actively supported our then No. 1 terrorist enemy North Vietnam Communist Dictator HO CHI MINH’s push to tak over a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
...the Enemy is now within
...and always has been.
Clinton’s watch. Clinton’s responsibility. Simple.
I assume that goes without saying here on FR.
‘It’s the TV, stupid, no matter WHO pays for it” =
...the CLINTONS’ lifetime M.O.
Gorelick was also an advocate of “Don’t ask Don’t tell” when she was general counsel for the pentagon.
Absolutely spot on...
in fact, when I read:
‘Yet the review team led by Inspector General John Helgerson found neither a “single point of failure nor a silver bullet” that would have stopped the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. ‘
my first thought was Jimmuh Carter, one of our first enemies within, and certainly a major cheerleader for this generations terrorists. He couldn’t have done it better if he had been KGB!
God help us! Hillary's total care - socialism. All is left bread and milk lines for people to enjoy.
Many with BDS, both the mild cases and the full blown, believe that terror did not exist prior to the current Bush Presidency. I don't believe those who consume the MSM versions are intelligent enough to "connect the dots" here.
[but did the words CLINTON ADMINISTRATION ever appear anywhere there]
Free Republic: pointing out the facts that the MSM won’t.
Wow, the whole report was about CIA failures prior to 9/11 during the Clinton administration and all Rockefeller wants to talk about is the current administration’s failure to capture a marginalized Bin Laden who might already be dead.
(channeling Stalin) It’s not so much what’s in the news as who edits the newspapers that matters most.
Had Dhimmi Carter turned the Holy City of Qom into the Bottomless Pit of Qom in 1979, none of this would be necessary today.
Despite his seeing first hand exactly what the Fight for Freedom was all about in a then Free South Vietnam at the very beginning of the Vietnam War in 1965...
Sen. TED KENNEDY still went on to lead a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese People’s fight to remain Free.
See 5th Photo down of Sen. TED KENNEDY in the Central Highlands of a then Free South Vietnam:
After President RONALD REAGAN publically declared that nothing short of Victory would do for us in the Cold War against the Evil Empire Communist Soviet Union...
Sen. TED KENNEDY sent his staffer, former Rep. JOHN TUNNEY, to Moscow to find ways to sabotage our Commander-in-Chief’s declared mission.
...the Enemy is now within
...and always been.
It was a newly sworn-in Rep. JOHN TUNNEY that accompanied Sen. TED KENNEDY on his 1965 tour of military operations all over a then Free South Vietnam. I know, for I met them both there.
In other words...
...these 2 have always known better.
KGB documents declassified by the Russian government in the 1990s revealed that Carter had sought help from Alexei Kosygin and the Soviet government in the 1980 election in an effort to damage Ronald Reagan's campaign. In addition the information revealed that Carter sought Soviet help on behalf of Walter Mondale in the 1984 election.
Jimmie Carter, lying, treasonable bastard, the worst US president in history.

New Book Explores ‘The African Origins of Classical Civilisation’
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ — The theatre of Dionysus. Roman gladiator shows. The Olympics. These are just a few of the storied pieces of Greek and Roman myth and history that continue to shape events and customs today in the modern world. But would you believe that all of the above actually have origins in Africa? And that Africa is the actual birthplace of the Greek and Roman classics?
Author, scholar and lecturer GJK Campbell-Dunn explores the possibilities with his fascinating new book, “The African Origins of Classical Civilisation” (published by AuthorHouse — http://www.authorhouse.com/). Campbell-Dunn explains:
Today the Greek and Roman Classics have become like a museum in which nothing ever changes, and it is forbidden to touch the exhibits. Similarly, the rigid Egyptian Canon and stuffy orthodoxies surrounding Niger-Congo languages are inhibiting the progress of knowledge. We are like a silent congregation sitting in some dusty church, listening to a sermon repeated ad infinitum. The reality behind the Classics, however, is vital, sometimes shocking. Even the terrible deeds of mythology had a factual basis.
In “The African Origins of Classical Civilisation,” Campbell-Dunn invokes history, mythology, archaeology, anthropology, genetics and linguistics to offer an African explanation for cultural phenomena attributed to the Greco-Roman world. He examines the hard evidence that has made for some amazing new discoveries regarding the classics. Among the most striking is the truth surrounding the fabled King Minos of Crete, who Campbell-Dunn explains was a woman, a fertility goddess and a witch. Also of particular interest is the author’s discussion of the theatre of Dionysus, which developed from simple African dramatic performances with men playing female parts. He points out that “Greek comedy, with its bawdy big phalli and padded costumes, arises from African fertility festivals.” Campbell-Dunn reveals how the famed Roman gladiator shows were taken over from the Etruscans, who celebrated them at their funeral games, and how the Olympic games, like Greek comedy, also arose from fertility festivals. Athletes once competed for a wife.
Written in a manner that makes it accessible to the general reader while also providing plenty of detailed material for scholarly reference, “The African Origins of Classical Civilisation” is a fascinating read that answers many questions and poses many new ones.
“It has been said that truth is stranger than fiction,” Campbell-Dunn writes. “The truth behind mythology goes deeper than a bald, factual narrative.”
GJK Campbell-Dunn holds a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in classics from the University of New Zealand, a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Cambridge, and a doctorate from the University of Canterbury. Now retired, he was a lecturer in the classics for many years and is the author of numerous publications, including his 2006 book “Who Were The Minoans? An African Answer” (also published by AuthorHouse). For more information, visit http://www.minosminoans.com/.

Super Bowl champion works as congressional intern
Torrey Smith meets the press before Super Bowl XLVII (Photo: Matthew Emmons, USA TODAY Sports)
Mr. Smith went to Washington.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith spent part of his offseason on Capitol Hill, working an internship in the office of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) for the bulk of March. Cummings, who represents Maryland's 7th district, has been a United States congressman for 17 years.
"I was handling files, reading letters, relaying them, typing up what sponsors say, printing stuff," Smith said. "I was the office guy."
Sounds like a whole lot of grunt work.
"It was fun though," Smith said with a laugh. "I enjoyed it."
Smith was a criminal justice major at the University of Maryland, and decided that with some spare time this offseason he wanted to get out and do something outside the box. He talked to Ravens Director of Player Development Harry Swayne, who hooked up the government gig.
"It's about seeing what's out there," Smith said. "As an athlete I feel like I always said, 'Man, I can't wait till I can just play football and I don't have to worry about school.' Now that all we do is work out and you have the rest of the day, I feel like I'm limiting myself if I don't do anything else."
Smith worked mostly out of the Baltimore office but traveled to Washington D.C. several times for the internship.
At 24, Smith looks to have plenty of years left in his NFL career, but he wouldn't be the first player to enter the House should he attempt that route in the future. Former Redskins quarterback Heath Shuler, Seahawks wide receiver Steve Largent and Eagles offensive lineman Jon Runyan have all served as U.S. congressmen.

One Tonne Life: Interview with Project Architect Gert Wingårdh on His Energy Efficient Building (Video)
Image via One Tonne Life - Portrait of Gert Wingårdh
Last week the One Tonne Life project began in Stockholm and TreeHugger was there to meet the key players in this fascinating low carbon lifestyle experiment. To recap, the Lindell family have moved into a solar powered prefab house, designed by one of Sweden's top architects Gert Wingårdh, in order to radically reduce their annual carbon footprint to one tonne per person. We talked to Wingårdh about the materials and processes that went into making this house so energy efficient.
Image by Leonora Oppenheim - One Tonne Life house exterior.
The house was constructed by prefab experts A-Hus, but designed as a mass producible model by Wingårdh. It is interesting that an architect, who is usually better known for building high end luxury villas in Sweden, should get involved in the mainstream sustainable housing market. But as Wingårdh told us "We were keen to do a low energy consumption building, because we think that this is basically the future."
Image by Leonora Oppenheim - One Tonne Life downstairs living room.
While it's clear that the promise of invaluable publicity that this project offers to all the big brands involved is a big draw, the overwhelming impression we got was the value of the collaborative learning process.
Wingårdh explains: "We're very fortunate to be working with Sweden's big energy producer Vattenfall. There's a huge knowledge base to tap into on this project, working with new technologies. We saw it as a great way to get knowledgeable about low energy consumption."
Watch Gert Wingårdh and the project architect Martina Wahlgren talk about their experience working on the One Tonne Life project and the importance of helping to make it beautiful and easy to live a low carbon lifestyle.
You can take a virtual tour of the One Tonne Life house on the A-Hus site.

A student at Rick Hansen Secondary School has died in hospital after suffering a medical emergency yesterday (Monday) during class.
An e-mail was sent to parents yesterday explaining the situation and noting that the school district’s critical response team has been made available for students. Additional counsellors and district staff are also available to students who are experiencing difficulty with the situation.
The e-mail also noted the Abbotsford Hospice Society and Foundry as two other places that students or families can go if they need assistance.
Kayla Stuckart, the communications manager for the Abbotsford School District, stated that no further details will be provided related to this incident out of respect and confidentiality to all involved.

Typhoon Sendong (International name: Washi) triggered massive flash floods last December 16. This led to more than 1000 casualties in Mindanao, specifically in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro. The typhoon also hit some parts of Visayas and Palawan.
MicroSourcing stepped up to help those who were greatly affected by this calamity. The PR and Social Media Marketing arm of MicroSourcing, headed by Nona Tajanlangit-Kooijman, worked together with Red Cross and launched the Sendong Relief Drive, encouraging all employees to share their blessings and donate basic necessities for the families who are staying in evacuation centers in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro.
In a matter of nine days, MicroSourcing was able to collect 13 boxes of clothes, 251 MS Family Bags containing relief goods, two boxes of assorted medicine items, two boxes of rice, bottles of water, new blankets, and toys.
Cash donations were also accepted, with a total of P130,037.75 as of December 29.
Most of the clothes were delivered to the affected areas through the Red Cross military plane. Meanwhile, 170 MS Family Bags and two boxes of medicine items were personally distributed by MicroSourcing volunteers to evacuees in Tambacan Elementary School (Iligan City) and West City Central School (Cagayan de Oro). The rest of the donations will be delivered through Red Cross.
MicroSourcing is very thankful to everyone who supported this endeavor, from the employees and clients who have donated (cash and/or in kind) to the volunteers (from the management team and Creative Services Group) who made this possible.
We can help you understand the possibilities. Reach out to us today.
