~ Awake Spirit Teachings, Author of Free Spirit, Non-dual Spiritual Mentor ~
Awake Spirit Teachings speak as freedom, which is our Consciousness, the sweet essence of our lives. The freedom spoken here is an inner knowing. We cannot realize this liberation by catering to our bodies, emotions or minds. No, this freedom is spiritual; an altitude of perception that only arises when we are lighter than our surroundings.
We can realize this lightness of being if we are willing to abide as Awareness and let go of the ego, the one who suffers mind. For this enlightenment to happen, a quiet mind is all we need. Why do anything for this, when only our stillness will suffice. Be silent, be still, be free.
For those of us who desire to be free of the mind-made self and its delusions, Sundance Burke takes us by the hand and walks with us through the entire landscape of the egoic mind, until we reach its outer boundary. Here, he invites us to take a leap of Self-faith into simply being Awareness. Will we survive?
Sundance says: “Who you think you are will not survive and who you are is never threatened. However, only by the leap can this be realized. Truly, all you surrender is your suffering and Now is the time. I invite you to be who you really are.”

Discover a message
of conscious freedom
and causeless joy ...
A pathway to true and
lasting fulfillment ...

In his American debut, Grose tells a little-known story of a pacifist pastor and the heroic Huguenot population of a plateau in France. These are the ordinary people of a handful of parishes who saved thousands from the Nazis.
Word spread quickly that the villages around Le Chambon-sur-Lignon would help not only Jews, but also illegal aliens and young men avoiding deportation to Germany’s factories. Perhaps it was the Huguenot background of persecution that fostered a people who kept secrets, minded their own business and helped their fellow sufferers. When André Trocmé took over as pastor from Charles Guillon, he preached nonviolent resistance and love of one's enemies. The plateau was a popular summer vacation spot and had little other attraction. There were no minerals, agriculture or wine production, which a nation at war might requisition, so it was effectively a safe haven. As a vacation spot, it had a wealth of guesthouses and hotels. All the pieces fell into place for the plateau after Trocmé met a Quaker who convinced him to take in children released from prison camps. Guillon moved to Geneva, where he was able to channel cash from American Quakers into the area. Oscar Rosowsky, an 18-year-old Latvian typewriter repairman, was a master forger, and Virginia Hall, an American spy, arranged for parachute supply drops after D-Day. In addition, some of the most important players in this operation were the Boy Scouts. Trocmé and many of his guides were Scouts with survival skills, and they were able to lead escapees safely to Switzerland. Almost everyone in the region took in at least one refugee, and they were so discreet that few neighbors knew of the others’ actions. The author ably narrates this inspiring story of “the courage and leadership of some remarkable men and women.”
In chronicling the daring activity that went on for years, Grose keeps readers on edge with a heartwarming story of ordinary heroes who just did what was required.

LS Power’s 400 megawatt natural gas-fired power plant proposed for West Deptford, N.J.
Plans to bring a 451-megawatt power plant to the city of Methuen have come to an end.
Methuen Mayor Stephen N. Zanni said Monday he informed representatives of Hawkes Meadow Energy during a conference call the city would immediately halt the project and withdraw any consideration to move forward, now or in the future, for a proposed Hawkes Meadow energy station on Old Ferry Road in Methuen. The location is not far from Interstate 495 and near to Haverhill.
“Hawkes Meadow Energy accepted this decision and graciously agreed to end its pursuit of the project. They were confident that they would have been able to address the health and safety concerns of the city. They were disappointed that they were not given an opportunity to present their plans,” Mayor Zanni said.
Hawkes Meadow Energy is a division of LS Power, an employee-owned, independent power company with offices in New York, New Jersey, Missouri and California. The proposed power plant would have used natural gas as the primary fuel and ultra-low sulfur distillate as a backup at the proposed generating station on 45 acres off Old Ferry Road.
According to Zanni, the proposal brought forward several weeks ago generated much debate among residents. He denies accusations of secret meetings, or that any misleading information was shared or distributed to circumvent a public review process.
“The city never declared its outright support for the project but rather support for a process to present this project to the community. In times of tight municipal budgets, we strongly believed it was our obligation to the city as a whole to consider the proposal based upon its extraordinary financial benefits and Hawkes Meadow Energy’s pledge to mitigate any potential health or safety impacts from the project. We were at least willing to listen and did not provide any commitments for support, now or in the future. Make no mistake about it, I also heard from residents and business leaders who voiced their support of a process to review the opportunities this project may present to the city. However, as mayor of the city, I cannot allow the development of an issue that has the potential to divide and polarize our community,” Zanni said.

The goal of the Dynamic View in Liquid | Author is to give you a ‘useful interactive multidimensional thinking space’ (akin to an advanced concept or mind map) where you can move your information around at will and see connections and relationships which might otherwise elude you, giving you more powerful views of your knowledge – while authoring a document.
It is important to consider that the Dynamic View is not a stand-alone mind-map system, it is a powerful view of the text you have in your word processing document, particularly the headings, and toggle instantly back and forth between the Dynamic View and the standard word processing view:
The Swiss clinical psychologist Jean Piaget (1896 -1980) provides the basic underpinnings for this work with an important perspective of how we learn: We first ‘assimilate’ all the information we come across, simply accepting and integrating it all into our internal mental map - our ‘schema’. The other stage happens when we come across information which either contradicts what we have already learnt or which lays outside it to the point where we have no reference to hook it onto our existing schema, a stage he called ’accommodation’.
This is the point of real thinking.
At this point we have to make a real cognitive effort to reject the new information as wrong/useless or irrelevant to our understanding or to accept that we should modify or delete aspects of our current schema. To do this all ‘in-brain’ can quickly become a momentous task, with too many variables interacting and this is where visualisation can support our ability to ‘see’ parts of our schema and ‘visualise’ how it fits with the competing information.
“Being able to move information chunks around, to group them and connect them makes “the process of making knowledge explicit, using nodes and relationships, allows the individual to become aware of what they know and as a result to be able to modify what they know.”
The Dynamic Views are designed to provide valuable visualisation opportunities from launch, though the potential future developments are what's really exciting, something we can't even begin to understand before we really learn to intellectually play in this space.
Integration with Word Processor View
This needs to be possible without leaving the base text of your word-processing document which you can easily and universally share with anyone. It is not enough to build mind/concept map style views, they must be integrated into your workflow. It is crucially important to have more than one view of the same text as your main document:
• Word Processing: Linear, good density of text in a column, traditional for long-form writing. Not great for organising pieces of text.
• Dynamic View: Non-Linear, good at organising pieces of text. Not great for traditional long-form writing.
& the ability to instantly and freely toggle between the two.
“A skilled user will readjust his view to suit immediate needs very quickly and frequently”

Carrey in talks to star in the comedy "Me Time"29 Mar 2007
By Priya B (Web correspondent)
Good news for all Jim Carrey fans! A new movie might be added to Jim Carrey's upcoming projects. The movie by 20th Century Fox called "Me Time".
Carrey is in talks and would be producing it along with Peter Principato and Paul Young whose company has a first-look deal with Fox. Principato-Young's Allen Fischer is executive producing. The script is written by duo Ian Roberts and Jay Martel.
The story is about a writer penning a book about his great-great-grandmother who was a frontier woman. His pregnant wife has to go on bed rest, leaving him to care for the house and their other child. His confidence is shaken when he reads his ancestor's diary. In her diary she describes raising a family, plowing the fields and taming the wild environs.
Carrey and Jay Martel are repped by CAA, Roberts by Endeavor.

RIGC offered nature prints, chalk drawing, and a tree i.d. game to visitors at our stand. It was a hot, brightly colored day of leaves, paints, and prints on paper! In between strong gusts of wind, there were smiles alongside the trials, errors, and successes of printing. True to Roosevelt Island community make up, we had participants of all ages with many languages, and welcomed returning families with children who made leaf prints last year.
Thanks so much to all who were able to pitch in: RIGC artists, Janet Linville and Peggy Roalf, for planning,set up, and advice on process; RIGC president, Neal Weissman, and the Longo family for being there through thick and thin; Erica Nazarova, RI teen, for helping all day and giving little ones patient advice for the prints; RI Girl Scouts, Emily, Victoria, and Lucia, for stepping in all afternoon; Girl Scout Leader, Aiesha Eleusizov, for showing up at clean up.
RIOC also suggested that RIGC might try another mural. We checked with Ali Schwayri, of the RI Tree Board, about the identifying tags on so many RI trees. Teen artist, Laura Dutilloy, stepped in to create a folk art inspired mural designed to highlight our diverse, local trees. When five hours of direct sun on her back could no longer be ignored, Laura took a break and team GRIN: Jenna, Anthony, AJ Longo, and Julia Ferguson, finished off mural details.
The mural, Alive and Growing, can be viewed at the entrance to Four Freedoms Park across from the Renwick Ruins. Linden, Cherry, Ginkgo, Cottonwood, Maple, Elm and Oak! Take a look and learn about a few of our beautiful Island trees; the quiet, majestic neighbors that keep our air cleaner, our days cooler, and our lives calmer! Stay tuned for more tree connections.

there is a minor difference and what takes place here is etoro…Etoro Api Spring Tutorial Java …tends to compute the distinction and that is how much they’ve made i have actually tracked this for a very long time and seen that
when i really do close a trade quite a great deal of the time the fee that i get charged is a lot less than the preliminary fee that i had for opening the trade itself however this is the regular standard structure nowadays for a lot of brokers that provide commission open markets if you don’t wish to pay a spread you can go and open an interactive brokers account a saxo bank account or a few of the other more advanced platforms and you will get charged a repaired fee per trade but for me personally i think for newer financiers specifically this is a much cheaper way of doing things now what does etoro have to use well they use stocks etfs cryptocurrency cfds more on that in just a 2nd copy trading and lots of many more assets like commodities and foreign exchange or currencies however having a platform that permits you to trade multiple sectors is absolutely useful for example you can short bitcoin and go long silver you could also short the japanese yen and go long into gold there is various aspects offered with this platform and i feel in the modern day world we reside in currency products things of the sort are definitely more required in brokerage homes particularly for the brand-new investor however i did point out cfds though which is a contract for difference these are basically agreements that brokerage or other institutions can use a customer to buy a company generally it’s a way of having a lot more take advantage of without in fact owning any of the stock you are making a contract with stated institution now cfds are really not available to individuals in the us but they are readily available to individuals over in europe and in the uk but i need to say offered the scariness of take advantage of and more than 60
of individuals trading cfds lose money i just totally stay away from cfds specifically if you are a more recent or intermediate financier and on that also just keep away from take advantage of it’s not truly great for your portfolio now before we proceed to the two most popular things with etoro and things that people tend to love the most we need to speak about the stocks etfs and products now this is the biggest issue etoro has in my opinion and they are taking a look at changing this very very soon in fact i think it is among their greatest objectives for 2022. now although etoro tends to have most the stocks that you want to trade or etfs they don’t have them all and they are adding them at a relatively slow rate they do not wish to include every cent stock under the sun that nobody’s really trading like i said they make their money on the spread out so the more people trading a stock the more cash they make if they added in a low-cap cent stock that only one person’s trading every day they’re not going to make that much cash so they are just adding stocks that they feel that a beneficial and b well less risky i really see this as a bit of a positive for new investors although for someone like myself who’s had a lot more
etoro share dealing account
experience it is rather bothersome that a few of the stocks that i do wish to trade or at least take a look at and not on the platform now that said i have actually spoken to etoro on this and they have actually promised me that a lot more stocks at record volumes are going to be added this year so by the time this video comes out it may not even be that pertinent but i make sure if you are a torah user and viewing this it can be irritating that possibly one out of 10 stocks is actually not offered on the platform so let’s hope etoro views this video and it alters really soon now the two most popular things on etoro is the popular investing and the social platform program
Only offered in 43 states
All U.S. citizens can sign up for a virtual trading account. There are just 43 states (along with Washington D.C. and the Northern Mariana Islands) where you can utilize genuine cash to purchase and sell cryptocurrencies. Delaware, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York City, Nevada, and Tennessee clients presently can not trade with eToro. The company intends to have 50-state schedule ultimately. Until then, some traders will have to look elsewhere.
Alternatives to think about
If you wish to trade stocks and cryptocurrencies in the very same place: Robinhood uses trading in stocks and options, including fractional shares. In addition, it offers 7 various cryptocurrencies and charges no transaction fees.

One of the most popular shows on TV right now is Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai. Thanks to my mom, I now know all the characters on the show by name and even picked up a couple of their dialogues. As much as I adore Saumya Tandon aka Anita Mishra's stylish personality and go-getter attitude, my heart goes out to Shubhangi Atre's character, Angoori Tiwari. I love how innocent, kind and lovable her character is. Her naive statements make me giggle and her energy is infectious on screen. I think she's the REAL star of the show! Another thing that caught my eye was her makeup. It's bright, it's loud, it's so Angoori! I think anyone who likes bold eye makeup and lipstick would want to give Angoori's iconic makeup look a try.
Here are 5 makeup tips we'd like to steal from our pyari Angoori, Shubhangi Atre.
Ladies, agree with me or not, I think Angoori's eye makeup is on point. The cat eye look totally works with her character and is in fact, pretty easy to replicate. Begin by drawing an angular line from the outer corner of your eye. Then, slowly draw a triangle shape by connecting the top of the triangle to the upper lash line. Then, fill in the triangle with a kohl pencil and later apply a regular eyeliner as you normally would. You can later apply kajal on your waterline to make your eyes pop. Before I forget, coat your lashes with mascara and you're done!
POPxo Recommends: PAC Longlasting Kohl Pencil (Rs 395)
If you've been wanting to take a break from using matte lipsticks, then I feel you should try Angoori's lipstick style. Her pout in almost every episode looks creamy and glossy. To make your lips to look like hers, you have to prep your lips up first. Start by scrubbing your lips and once they feel smooth, you can apply a coat of lip balm. After a minute or two, apply a creamy lipstick. If you're yet not content with the shine, you can add a touch of gloss to make your pout stand out.
POPxo Recommends: NYX Professional Makeup Extra Creamy Round Lipstick (Rs 475)
Let me tell you, a woman with groomed and structured brows means serious business. Angoori may not have thick brows, but her fine, sculpted ones make for a visual treat too. If you're out of brow gel, a mascara will do the job of filling your eyebrows perfectly. Just comb your brows in an upward direction and you'll instantly notice how much fuller and thicker they begin to look.
POPxo Recommends: Faces Ultime Pro Eyebrow Pencil (Rs 499)
If you take a closer look at Angoori's makeup, her blush is one of the first things you'll notice about her! It's pink and it looks natural. One way to achieve this look is that after you moisturise your skin and apply foundation, dip your brush into a powder blush container and apply the product to the apples of your cheeks in circular motions. Yep, it's as simple as that.
POPxo Recommends: M.A.C Satin Powder Blush - Fleur Power (Rs 2,000)
The glow on her skin is not very bright, but subtle and soft. One way to get the exact glow is to mix an illuminator into your liquid foundation and apply it to your skin. It will give your complexion a radiant, dewy glow. You have to try it to believe it *Wink*
POPxo Recommends: L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator - W101 Golden Dore (Rs 765)

It’s all too easy to spend much of our time keeping track of what other people are up to, seeing their (apparent) happy and productive lives, measuring against our own, and finding ourselves wanting. Failing, even.
What a waste of time (and energy). I speak from the heart here. I spent many years comparing myself to others, usually people with a lot more energy than I had, I even tried to emulate one or two of them with disastrous results for my own health. Eventually I realised that the only life I could live was mine, and the only work I could do was MY work.
It took me a long time to learn this, and not before I’d spent a number of years trying to be a landscape painter, painting very large landscapes, because the artists I admired the most, including a teacher of mine who I was a little in awe of, were landscape painters. One day though, too exhausted to paint I drew a small tin of sardines instead and suddenly I was on a new and far more personally authentic path.
With this being ME Awareness month, it feels timely to remind myself that I need to take care of myself and my energy, not squander either and instead concentrate it on what is really important to me. This strikes me as good advice for everyone, not just those of us who a particularly limited in terms of energy.
If you stop comparing yourself to others you’ll:
- begin to discover what’s truly important to you.
- have more time and energy to devote to your own creative journey.
- feel FAR better about yourself.
- suffer far less from those energy draining feelings of jealousy and inadequacy
- be able to be inspired by others’ work rather than dragged down by it.

CÀ MAU – The traffic sector would prioritise projects of overriding importance to further the province’s socio-economic development, a local official said.
Deputy Head of the southernmost Cà Mau Province’s transport department, Lê Thành Huấn, said, that thanks to limited financial resources, the sector would focus on key projects in accordance with the province’s socio-economic master plan to 2020 with a vision to 2030 approved by the government.
Accordingly, the province will accord priority to projects such as a major traffic axis connecting the east and west of the province; upgrade and expand the Tắc Thủ - Rạch Ráng - Sông Ðốc traffic route, the U Minh - Khánh Hội road, and Năm Căn - Hàng Vịnh road; in addition to connecting traffic routes with highways running through Cà Mau City, and build the Southwest ring road, among others.
Also, the province will speed up traffic and irrigation projects along the West Sea dyke and complete the road-bed for the dyke system along the East Sea.
The province will proceed with projects using local funds to build a number of key bridges, such as the Bạch Ngưu Bridge in Thới Bình District, and the Nhị Nguyệt and Xóm Ruộng bridges along the Lương Thế Trân-Đầm Dơi line.
To facilitate the inland waterway management and orientation for socio-economic development, defence and security, the provincial People’s Committee recently approved a detailed plan for the local inland waterway to 2020 with a direction to 2030, the Vietnam News Agency reported.
Cà Mau targets the completion of 1,800km of rural traffic routes, costing an estimated VNĐ5 trillion (US$220 million), with an aim to gradually complete the rural traffic infrastructure system.
To that end, the province would seek financial assistance from the State and mobilise other sources from the public, Huấn said.
"The province will make full use of funding sources to carry out key traffic projects and mobilise resources to synchronise the local infrastructure, besides making efforts to build new-style rural areas and respond to climate change,” Huấn said.
“First and foremost, we will call for investment into projects implemented under BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer), PPP (Public-Private Partnership), and BT (Build-Transfer) forms,” he said.
Over the past years, Cà Mau has built and upgraded nearly 1,600 bridges with total investment of more than VNĐ307 billion ($14 million), creating a smooth traffic network across the province. At the same time, the province has concretised 2,000km of rural roads. – VNS

Since recognition of Japan Cool in 2009 by Douglas McGray, there has been a steep increase in the number of visitors to Japan. Most visitors are from China and Korea, though many also come from Europe and North America and, more recently, Southeast Asia.
Visitors from Asia seem to be heavily oriented to shopping and traditional tourist destinations, such as Kyoto and its temples. European and North American visitors seem more drawn to anime and Japanese pop culture. Neither would seem to be attracted to the museum described here, with the somewhat ponderous name, Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum. This museum, though, has much to offer both those interested in Japanese tradition and those interested in Japanese pop culture.
The famed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki—creator of Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and The Wind Rises—has his studio not far from the Edo-Tokyo Museum and is said to have been a frequent visitor. Buildings within the museum appear to have been models for those appearing in his Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi). The opportunities for selfies with the original models as backgrounds are obvious. In addition, the Ghibli Museum dedicated to the works of his studio is near a station on the Chuo Line, the main route from central Tokyo to Koganei, where the museum is located. With planning, both can easily be visited in a single day trip.
For those more interested in “traditional Japanese culture,” the museum offers a number of dwellings and shops spanning a range in time from the late Edo period (early 19th century) to the early post-war Showa era (1950s). Because homes with sufficient architectural merit to have survived for several centuries tend to be those of the wealthy, not all social classes are represented, but this in no way diminishes the value of the museum.
There are residences of both samurai and commoners from the Edo period with their thatched roofs and smoky kitchen areas with dirt floors. There are early 20th century residences of wealthy Japanese with an eclectic mix of Japanese and Western styles and construction materials as well as several examples of full out Western design “with Japanese characteristics.”
Particularly interesting are the shops that combine features going back into the Edo period with 20th century artifacts, such as hand-cranked cash registers. Such shops survived well into the postwar period and a few still exist. Viewing one of the relocated shops in the east zone of the park, I was reminded of something I saw frequently when I was first in Japan in 1971. A shopkeeper would calculate the change due me using a small electronic calculator, a device that was just becoming affordable and common at that time. Then, the shopkeeper would check the accuracy of calculators using an abacus.
In addition to relocated shops that originally sold things including handmade cosmetics and umbrellas, the east zone has a fine example of a Tokyo-style public bath house (sento) with the standard accoutrements of such establishments, including a wall mural showing Mt. Fuji. Public bath houses are steadily disappearing in Tokyo and a foreigner with conspicuous tattoos will have great difficulty bathing in any currently operating establishment. The recreated one in the museum is a good way to get some sense of their ambiance, albeit without the actual bathing.
Many of the buildings are open to exploration, although for some you need to shed your street shoes. Open buildings generally have volunteer guides, and some speak English. There are also occasional demonstrations of traditional crafts and sales techniques that were in use before household items such as soy sauce were sold in prepackaged form.
As a historian of the period covered by this museum, I found the volunteer guides quite knowledgeable and enthusiastic, although because I spoke to them only in Japanese I cannot testify to their English language ability. In fact, I was pleased to learn a bit of history from the guide at one of the late Edo period dwellings. She explained that the house she minded had been that of a samurai living in the Hachioji area who had been both a farmer and a landlord. While his house looked very similar to commoner dwellings, there were subtle differences associated with status, such as not having a sunken hearth fireplace (irori).
I had known that, contrary to popular claims that there was a sharp division between the samurai and commoners, the line was in fact blurred. This was well-depicted in the autobiographical novel Omoide no ki (Footprints in the Snow) by Kenjiro Tokutomi (pen name Roka). I had associated this pattern of rustic farming samurai with peripheral areas and did not know that it had also been common near Edo, the seat of government for the Tokugawa ruling families.
Aside from vividly showing changes in lifestyle at least for those with some means, the museum has buildings connected to major events in 20the century political history, most notably the residence of Korekiyo Takahashi, who was minister of finance in 1936. On February 26, 1936, Takahashi was assassinated in the study-bedroom on the second floor of the building on display in the park, which at that time was located in the Akasaka area of Minato Ward.
He was assassinated by young military officers, who objected to the stated intent of Takahashi to reduce the military budget as part of an effort to forestall inflation brought on by deficit-financed government spending. His assassination was not an isolated act, but rather one part of an attempted coup d’état that saw the government office area—Nagata-cho in central Tokyo—occupied by the dissident troops until they surrendered in the face of threatened action by other troops loyal to the government and the Emperor.
Even today, it is widely believed that there is more to the background of the 2.26.36 incident than has ever been made public. New discoveries pertaining to it become front page news because the attempted coup is regarded as one of the tectonic shifts in modern Japanese political history. A very voluble guide was ready to provide vivid details of the 2.26.36 incident, and the death of Takahashi in the very room we were standing in.
Even without the assassination, Takahashi would be an exceptional figure. He was popularly called Dharma-san, reflecting his rotund figure, unusual for Japanese of that period. In economic history he is credited for practicing Keynesian economic policies before the famous British economist Lord Keynes formulated and published his ideas. He was, moreover, largely self-educated and had spent his youth as an indentured servant in quasi-slavery in San Francisco in the United States. A well-regarded biography by the American historian Richard Smethurst covers the life of this fascinating Japanese with a larger than life career and personality. [ Link: Richard Smethurst, From Foot Soldier to Finance Minister: Takahashi Korekiyo, Japan's Keynes (Harvard University Press, 2009).]
The Museum is child-friendly, and among its exhibits is a Tokyo tram from 1962 that seems to be of particular interest to young boys. In the Koganei Park that surrounds the museum there is also a steam engine and coaches together with various play facilities for young children. The park is a good place to picnic all year round, but it is especially good during the o-hanami (blossom viewing) days, when the 1,700 flowering cherry trees in some 50 varieties in the park are in full bloom.
Family Picnics at Koganei Koen
The museum and Koganei Park are taken up in many English language sites directed at foreign visitors, and both get good reviews, with the museum typically getting rave reviews.

A sliding bed, a swinging hammock, two bikes and a big chest might conjure up images of a Carry-On film. But in fact they’re all new accessories for the Nissan Pickup.
If you’re having trouble getting to those hard-to-reach spots in your Pickup’s load bay then let Nissan improve your bedslide manner. As its name suggests, the bedslide covers the load area and glides backwards and forwards. It’s easier to shift and place your cargo. Plus it helps prevent back-ache.
The large tool box will fit neatly into the Pickup’s load area. With a 7.9 cubic feet capacity it offers a full-length lid for easy loading and unloading of equipment. And a reinforced steel construction ensures it’s strong as well as tough looking.
In a large load space, small items can easily rattle around. To now store smaller items securely and safely, Nissan has introduced a new hammock net. Unfortunately it can’t double as a hammock which you can sleep in under the stars but nonetheless it is very practical holding anything from wellies to wetsuits.
And if cycling is your thing, Nissan has added a new bicycle carrier to the accessory range. It offers a two bike capacity carrier for fitment to the front forks. Its self support system comes with heavy duty foam pads to protect the Pickup bed and it can be used in conjunction with a bedliner.
These new goodies, designed to be quick to fit, are an addition to an already impressive Nissan accessory line up.Published 4 September 2004

Voltage: 220-240 at 50-60hz
Max Head: 3.4m
Max Flow: 19L/min
Wiring: Requires Wiring
Bracket: Steel bracket included
This pump is constructed of foodgrade materials, handles wort at boiling temperature. The impeller housing is made from polysulfone
because it is a tough, food-grade plastic rated to temperatures (up to 120C). The magnetic drive acts as a clutch allowing the user to put backpressure on the pump to slow down flow. Since it is magnetic drive, it is not self priming, you must put the pump under the level of the liquid source. This is an extremely efficient 1.1amp pump which can be run non-stop for extended periods at elevated temperatures. No lubricated bearings are in contact with the liquid at all so you know there is
absolutely no chance of any contamination of the liquid being pumped, which is why this pump is ideal for home brewing.
NOTE: The pump is sold with an Australian Standard electrical cord but it is not attached to the pump as some customers will have a qualified electrician hard wire the pump to their brewery. If you wish to use the cord that is included you will need a qualified electrician to join the cord to the pump.

This is an email I recently received from Troy Olds, a business partner of mine. In these economic times I think it is critical to remember why we celebrate Christmas and to not fall into the trap of “consumerism” as it’s overall defining “time suck” during this holiday season. Remember, the people we care about spell love T-I-M-E. I hope you enjoy this transparent fathers look at his role on this planet during Christmas. Troy is an example to us who continue to strive to be Family First Entrepreneurs.
I have to share honestly that Christmas has always been a mixed blessing for me. As a kid it was curious and magic. I'd fall asleep under the tree with the lights blinking above me; warm in my full body pajamas with the plastic feet.
Now, as a parent I have dealt with the emotions of giving my kids a special Christmas like I had. I have dodged traffic around the malls a day before Christmas to round up the 'stuff' that will prove my love and keep me in the game of keeping up with what is expected of me as a consumer.
Every day, is our day to show our love and it isn't in what we buy. It's in what we bring. I ask myself what I have brought to the table for the ones I love. The ones who love me? God knows, that in the past, I have fished the stream of life thinking I didn't have enough. Today, I am grateful that I am able to give back, even if just a little, to the stream that has been so freely given. And I know.......I can give more.
By being more of what I am supposed to be, I become more of a gift to those I love. To those who love me.
In the time it would take to go buy another 'token of my love' at the store I could sit with my child and look at them when they speak to me. I can draw a picture with them and share stories of our day. I can just.........listen to them.
I could wrestle on the floor with them while they are still little and laugh and giggle. Before they are too cool.
As parents we get the small idea of the small painful stages of our children outgrowing us when they no longer kiss us in front of their friends. And I wonder......when did that happen? The times when I have those little arms wrapped tight around my neck when I move them sleepy from the car to their beds.........is almost gone.
Our children are Gods gift to us. How we raise them and who they become is our gift to the world. They will become what they see and learn. From whom they learn it. Today I ask myself, "with whom was my child with today?" I've been gone all day. Who did they listen to? T.V., their latchkey friends? Or, were they simply alone to wonder why I wasn't with them. Did they wonder who's time was more valuable to me than theirs?
This Christmas I am reminding myself WHY this holiday exists. Regardless of ones belief, Christ for me and many is that reason. Rather than wondering where the best deal on the hottest toy is that I can scoop up for my child so they can be cool at school, I am choosing to follow the example of a man who gave it all. And as I fall awesomely short of that example I truly find comfort that I don't have to present my children with a gadget or a doll on any day if I remember the truth about me. That I can be the present my children want more than anything. And by being present they don't need a toy or gadget to feel cool at school. Because they know they are loved.
So today I am a father who looks at them when they speak. Draws a picture when they ask. And wrestles with them while they are still little and know that all their life they will laugh and giggle.
It is my hope that none of us get to big or old to laugh at our follies. Giggle just to giggle. Or forget that just one man, made life so much more beautiful for millions and millions of people.
What work went into becoming a man who could do that?
I'm sure, far more than what it takes for this man to make a difference in the lives of only 3..... beautiful babies.
I sincerely hope you have the best Christmas ever. Be with the ones you love and who love you. Know that you are the gift.............and smile.
I am grateful to you for being a part of my life and for helping me to be a better person in my children's lives. You help me dream bigger. Laugh louder and witness faith manifest. Thank you.

Typically, the big Warner Bros. Animation films have premieres in New York or Los Angeles. I’m stoked that Washington D.C. is the site for the Batman: Gotham by Gaslight premiere. Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come for the area.
The screening will be held at
Newseum — Walter and Leonore Annenberg Theater
555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20001
Here’s the information:
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment provide a new take on Batman as a steampunk Dark Knight hunts Jack the Ripper through the shadows of turn of the century Gotham City in this all-new animated feature available from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment January 23, 2018, on Digital and February 6, 2018, on Blu-ray and DVD. The premiere event is for mature audiences 18 years of age or older. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception prior to the screening — which will be followed with a Q&A session with the film’s voice cast and producers.
Inspired by the landmark one-shot Elseworlds tale by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, Batman: Gotham By Gaslight takes place at the turn of the century as America’s continued industrial revolution is to be showcased at a World’s Fair hosted by Gotham City. But while the world prepares to witness the glittery glory of Gotham’s technological advances, there is a killer loose in the city’s darkest shadows. Preying on the city’s women, this killer is as precise as he is cruel. As Police Commissioner James Gordon (Scott Patterson – Gilmore Girls) tries to calm the fears of Gotham’s citizens regarding the butcher called Jack the Ripper, the masked vigilante Batman (Bruce Greenwood – American Crime Story) indulges in his own detective work — with the help of confident, capable Selina Kyle (Jennifer Carpenter – Dexter) — to stop the Ripper’s murderous spree. Witness a world in flames as the notorious serial killer’s controlled savagery meets the calculated stealth of the Dark Knight.
The voice cast also features Anthony Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Merlin) as Alfred Pennyworth, Yuri Lowenthal (Batman Unlimited, Young Justice) as Harvey Dent, John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time) as Chief Bullock, William Salyers (Batman vs. Two-Face) as Hugo Strange, and Grey Griffin (DC Super Hero Girls) as Sister Leslie.

NEW YORK -- A Sterne Agee analyst on Monday cut his rating for Citigroup Inc. to "Neutral" from "Buy," saying that he doesn't expect the bank's shares to rise significantly any time soon.
Todd Hagerman, who reaffirmed his $33 price target for the stock, noted that Citibank's shares are up 30 percent from their July lows, largely as a result of optimism related to the global economy. But economic uncertainty continues in Europe, putting pressure on currencies, while it's also unclear what's going to happen with bank regulatory reform.
The result is increased investment risk without meaningful potential rewards to offset it, he said.
"Accordingly, we have become increasingly more cautious surrounding the potential downside risk in the shares from current levels driving our rating down to `Neutral' from `Buy,'" Hagerman wrote in a note to investors.
Citibank shares rose 32 cents to $33.04 in premarket trading.

A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that would fine a man $100 each time he masturbates.
The bill also imposes a 24-hour waiting period if a guy wants a colonoscopy or a vasectomy, or if he’s in the market for some Viagra.
Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat, knows her bill isn’t going to get very far. But she proposed it last week to make a point and give male lawmakers a taste of their own medicine.
Farrar has long been an advocate of women’s health in a state that has made it extremely difficult for women to get abortions. And the bill, by pointing out a sexist double standard, is meant to shine a light on the obstacles women deal with when it comes to their health care.
“Let’s look at what Texas has done to women,” Farrar told CNN. “What if men had to undergo the same intrusive procedures?”
Even the name is a jab
Farrar’s bill would penalize men for masturbation because such behavior is a failure to preserve the sanctity of life and “an act against an unborn child.”
Even the bill’s name — “A Man’s Right to Know Act” — is a jab at a pamphlet Texas doctors are required to give women seeking abortions.
That pamphlet, “A Woman’s Right to Know,” has long been criticized for being inaccurate, ideologically influenced by religion and designed to discourage women from getting abortions.
One section of the pamphlet says breast cancer and abortions are linked. Scientific studies have found no cause-and-effect relationship between the two.
“We have real lives to deal with,” said Farrar, who pointed out that Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.
And she’s right — the rate of women who died from pregnancy-related complications doubled from 2010 to 2014, according to a recent study.
Backlash from political opponents
Republicans have lashed out at Farrar’s bill.
“I’m embarrassed for Representative Farrar. Her attempt to compare to the abortion issue shows a lack of a basic understanding of human biology,” said Rep. Tony Tinderholt in a statement.
“I would recommend that she consider taking a high school biology class from a local public or charter school before filing another bill on the matter.”
Tinderholt recently proposed a bill that would charge abortion providers and women receiving abortions with murder.
Access to abortions in Texas
Texas has quite a one-two punch to keep women from getting abortions. One: strict laws. Two: Lack of clinics.
Texas doesn’t allow abortions for women past the 20-week mark unless their life is endangered. Under this law, women who are pregnant with an unviable fetus are forced to carry to term. Additionally, women must receive state-directed counseling, must have an ultrasound and a provider must describe the image of the unborn child to the woman.
As of 2014, some 96% of Texas counties had no clinics that provided abortions, and roughly 43% of women lived in those counties, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
And since 2014 the number of facilities providing abortions in Texas has plummeted from 44 to18 after the state passed restrictions on abortion doctors and clinics. The restrictions were eventually struck down by the Supreme Court, but the damage was done.
Today, Texas women can only get abortions in seven cities and an entire swath of the state — the panhandle and much of west Texas — is an abortion clinic desert.

Why Your Website Will Make or Break Your Business this COVID-19 Season
October 09, 2020
Why is Your Business Website so Important?
It goes without saying that in the online world, your website is the equivalent of a physical shopfront. Despite the easy availability of e-commerce platforms like Lazada, Qoo10 or Shopee to conduct online operations, your website is still an important tool in your digital strategy that you need to pay attention to.
These days, consumers will be looking at your website to form first impressions and research on your business even before visiting your physical store. A well designed, informative and up-to-date website strengthens your credibility and helps establish trust in your brand. And if they are purchasing directly from your website, then the experience needs to be smooth as well.
Is Having a Website All You Need for Digital Success?
Up till this point, things might be sounding a little too easy to be true. Once you’ve designed a beautiful website, set it up and launch it online, you’re done, right? Not quite! See, online presence is more than just a simple website.
Everything from your digital communication to social media content, advertising and more should be used to drive potential customers to your website. However, if your website is not built from the ground up to manage and handle these customers once they visit, then you are potentially throwing away hundreds or thousands of warm leads.
What Makes a Website Great at Generating Leads?
A plain and simple website with basic company information will not cut it if you want a website that actually sells and generates revenue for your business.
A well-designed business website will have several elements that encourage lead generation. This can range from an attractive call-to-action on a large homepage banner, a live chat service, contact us forms, newsletter sign-ups as well as dynamic targeted content, on-page personalization and many, many more. Users who find websites that specifically target their interests are more likely to engage with the brand and start an interaction.
You might want to consult an e-commerce website design company who can advise you on best practices to optimise your website for lead generation that suits your business needs.
Increasing Your Website’s Visibility
Ok, so your brand-new lead-generation focused website is up and running. You’re ready to wow your visitors with its slick new features and smooth user experience. But nobody seems to be visiting and traffic still remains low!
In order for your website to be easily found online, you need to improve its visibility on search engines. There are two main ways you can do so.
Search Engine Optimisation
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic onto your website through organic (non-paid) search results. This means tweaking all the elements of your website so that they synergize and help you appear as relevant search results on specific keywords/phrases and rank as high as possible on search engines’ results.
SEO specialists and SEO agencies excel at helping you target lower-competition keywords so your website has more chances of appearing on the first page of Google, Bing or any other search engine. This is important because when your website first launches, it is unlikely to have built up enough authority in the eyes of the search engine to be considered a credible source.
For example, if you’re an F&B business selling burgers, your new website will have a harder time appearing on search results if you build your SEO using a general phrase like “best burgers in Singapore” due to higher competition from more established names. Agencies offering SEO packages in Singapore can help develop a strategy around alternative keywords/phrases to help you build up your SEO and improve visibility over time.
Search Engine Marketing
If you’ve ever searched for anything on Google, you’ve likely seen some highlighted results at the top, bottom and even at the side of your page. These are paid advertisements and listings known as Search Engine Marketing (SEM).
Unlike SEO, which is free but takes time to build, SEM is a quick way to boost your visibility by paying to appear on search engine results. In SEM, advertisers bid on specific keywords that users might enter when looking for certain products or services. The ads work on a pay-per-click basis and are great because it puts your website in front of users who are already primed and interested. Just like SEO, much of the success in SEM comes from being able to research and target effective keywords.
An SEM agency will make use of tools to find keyword suggestions and alternatives, ranking them based on search volume and cost to give you a good idea of which to target. Check out some SEM packages here if you are interested.
In short, coming up with an online presence during this Covid-19 season isn’t a walk in the park. From having a visually appealing and user-friendly site, to optimising it for lead generation, and spending on either SEO and/or SEM, running a website is much harder during this period. Not to mention, having to choose a vendor from the wide list of ecommerce platforms available online.
Luckily, companies that offer the whole range of digital marketing and web development services exist in Singapore, With FirstCom Solutions, you can establish your web presence from scratch even if you know nothing about running a site or how to optimise your digital marketing. Its digital specialists and other experienced team members will guide you every step of the way and help your business flourish during this Covid19 period. Contact them today!

A few months ago I made my way down from the San Fernando Valley ‘burbs which I call home to the city of Echo Park, which is situated half way in between the seedy faux-glamour of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles, to see Touche Amore’s homecoming show at the Echoplex. As I drove past the venue in my feeble attempts to find a parking spot it hit me just how big they have become since the release of Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me. The show that night, also featuring La Dispute and Pianos Become the Teeth, was a microcosm of the current rebirth of and the post-hardcore scene that some have been calling “The Wave” and others like myself just call a welcome change of pace. And just like that night, with Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me Touche Amore have positioned themselves at the front of this movement.
Taking influence from early 2000’s post-hardcore bands such as Thursday, the 90’s emo underground, and the last 20 years of indie scene, Touche Amore’s Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me is a quick burst of artful yet emotional punk rock. Driven in equal parts by vocalist Jeremy Bolm’s heartfelt shouts and the rich sonic template behind him, every note is placed and every plea is penned with with pinpoint accuracy, zeroing in on the angst and uncertainty of entering adulthood. It’s a stunning accomplishment that has reached across scene boundaries and has, at least for the time being, rallied that attention of both the most jaded of hardcore enthusiasts and the kids that keep it all alive. In the closing lines of the album’s opener “Tilde”, Bolm screams “…I’ll be that ringing in your ears that sticks around for years,” and if Touche Amore have proven anything in 2011, that claim might just be true. – Adam Thomas
Dan Bejar is and will always be one of the best lyricists in indie rock, but his acoustic Bowie shtick got really old with his last album, Trouble in Dreams, which followed the monolithic Rubies with a whisper rather than a bang. On Kaputt, though, dude went entirely insane, pursuing the kind of syrupy, cheesy, 80s-esque pop to soundtrack his tales of love lost on the dance floor and doing ridiculous amounts of blow, among all of the intertextuality, meta-ness, and constant literary references that one would expect from any Destroyer album. Bejar, by changing his band’s sound from chamber pop troubadours to Kenny G-esque manufacturers of sophisticated cheese, found the perfect foil to his lyrics, the kind of overly dramatic stuff that increases the impact of his theatrical tales, his knack for narration and setting a scene. It’s the most interesting Destroyer record yet, in this sense, in that it’s the only one really to run with one general theme and idea, that of endless partying and the trials of city life, which is why it’s stuck with me more than anything else he’s ever done. – Cam
As I sit here trying to sum up Old Raves End I find myself coming to the conclusion that the frustration at attempting to define my thoughts is one that I share with this album. Like my somewhat pitiful attempts, Old Raves End finds itself struggling to find the right words, or really any words, that might somehow change what is ultimately, an inevitable outcome. Shockingly though, it embraces this hesitation, this reluctance to reconcile, and uses the resulting breakdown in communication as its impetus. As such, it’s an exhaustive and emotionally crippling listen, steeped in familiarity and nostalgia now bereft of color, instead committed to memory as scratchy and broken down black and white daydreams.
As an album that works off the power of memory it traverses many themes and ideas, from glacial frigidity to cradling warmth and remembered love; and somewhere in amidst all of this messy expression, and despite its mechanical heart, lies something truly human and life-affirming. It’s a document on loss, love and the unavoidable nature of human beings, and it takes great pride in evoking the fragile symptoms that accompany us on our journey. Old Raves End asks a lot of its listener, but matches that offering with unwavering beauty and honesty. Genuinely captivating and convincingly romantic in its warm embrace of the past, it shows this Leeds-based trio to be one of the brightest young talents to emerge out of a year already strip-mined in accolades and cherished releases. Old Raves End is the death of the party, and while it doesn’t match that demise in ferocity, it serves as perhaps the most painful of reminders of what was lost. – Deviant
Ceremonials is bigger, longer, and bolder than her out-of-left-field debut Lungs, simply because it does all those things that Lungs did so well, does them one better, and jacks everything up to 11. The most unlikely pop sensation of 2010 made her money with an operatic range, a gothic-tinged band that specialized in cavernous timpani and melancholy strings, and florid lyrics about coffin makers and moonlight sacrifices. Of course, she could get away with this because she had a voice to match all the drama and the kind of mammoth hooks that are needed to define the bold images of angels and devils that Ms. Welch preferred to color with. Remember how you felt when Florence’s voice faded away as those drums thump with authority on “Dog Days are Over,” and then how she howls back onto the scene, all fire and brimstone and that righteous command to run? Ceremonials has about twelve of those moments. It had to go this way, because Ceremonials is all about Ms. Welch – bold, dynamic, and unashamedly theatric. Of course she’d try to out-do herself.
Yet the underrated part of Welch’s success is not her set of pipes or her carefully crafted romantic image but rather her unique take on the pop arrangement. “What The Water Gave Me” is unlike any other song on the radio today, and frankly I doubt any other artist could pull it off. It’s the perfect mix between the progressive and the mainstream that characterizes the best of Welch’s work, that delicate interplay between oppressive goth and stadium-ready popular vocals, all coalescing into the quintessential Florence and the Machine song. It’s weird yet strangely accessible, name checking Greek mythology and playing up some heavy imagery into a pop single that appeals to the same people who buy Adele tickets and get in line for the latest Twilight movie. In essence, it’s the perfect example of just what makes Florence and the Machine such a unique success. It was so easy to dismiss Lungs as a one-off phenomenon, the perfect storm of that one-of-a-kind voice and that retro Kate Bush/prog feel, all buffeted by the mainstream press generated from “Dog Days Are Over.” Ceremonials, with its thrilling sense of continuity and the remarkable growth of Ms. Welch as a songwriter, forces us to change our perceptions: Florence Welch is the phenomenon, and we should all settle in for the long haul. – Rudy Klapper
I like to think the reason we write reviews is to open a dialogue with whatever art we’re falling in love with (or loathing, but that’s not who I am). There are times when we can write forever, because our stay with an album has been that comfortable, but what of those times when we say that we, well, simply can’t say much? For me, it’s one of two things: A) we don’t damn well know what to say because the album is that unremarkable, or B) the album doesn’t invite us to think along with it. Those albums are stubborn bastards, often didactic but better loved when self-reflective. Those are the albums that wake up to new thoughts when the room has cleared out, or at least has to their creator’s illusive mind. Everyone out, don’t even listen to this if you don’t want to, it’s just a thought. Helplessness Blues is that. It speaks heavily and bitterly about age, and you don’t respond.
I like that epiphany factor, even this pessimistic. Fleet Foxes build their record on crackling foundations, fed up with it but not thoughtlessly so, simply awake to it. Because I don’t want to say Helplessness Blues is a resigned record. Rather, it closes the dialogue on its listener, even at its most open, and deals with these new realisations in its own way. It seems, just from all the damning of what is “unique,” that Pecknold is closing the book and working his weary heart backwards on some of these songs, but it’s not so; to be a “functioning cog” is not a statement he supposes he might as well make. It’s a new plea, a thought that he struck up when all the snowflakes fell the same. No, Helplessness Blues isn’t resigned, but it heads towards what it yearns. We are no interpreter for a record of mysterious men with folded arms. “What does that say about me?” is a rhetorical question that cycles back to Pecknold’s sad revelation of a mundane, unstoppable force that makes us ever older. But I like to think it invites the question treated as new. Helplessness Blues is an album that says “so!” at the beginning of its stories, an album of guess-this-happens and woke-up-one-mornings. It shows the bitterness of aging as an abrupt pang of the heart, something that comes onto Pecknold and decays his entire philosophy. And so quickly- it’s age Pecknold wakes up with every day.
So we say to this old wise man, this best imagined bearded Pecknold, why draw from the histories of American folk so heavily, perhaps even more than on Fleet Foxes’ debut? Probably for no reason that I would try and offer up in argument of open and closed dialogues- at the end of the day, it’s the music you love that you play, and darned if it doesn’t sound pretty impressive and just plain pretty- but I like to think there’s something of a harkening on Helplessness Blues that helps ease the nuisance of age. We can name whatever we want from the canon, and myself, I see the sparseness of Tim Hardin in “Someone You’d Admire.” But this album doesn’t care what I see. It doesn’t invite us to speculate, to crown it as another Great American Album. And of course I love it all the more for rudely shutting us up- how mysterious, how unambiguous, how weird to feel so old and yet look back so far. To have a sharp awakening softened by times before it. It makes sense. – Robin Smith
The primary criticism of Manchester Orchestra’s latest bestowment lies within its own tendency to embellish that which has already been decorated. You see, Mean Everything to Nothing expanded upon the framework initially demonstrated by the raw, sensational I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child with more complex instrumental arrangements, heavier screams, and even more psychologically revealing lyrics from precocious front man Andy Hull. Simple Math’s imperious utilization of strings, horns, and choirs drew the ire of many critics, who pointed to the album’s reliance on such hackneyed methods as a means of applying makeup to a work that is full of holes. While Simple Math’s liberal usage of these techniques cannot be denied nor overlooked, it would be criminal likewise to assume that they exist merely as patchwork. The album is actually filled to the brim with untouched ideas, even if they aren’t the most complex. The first thing that comes to mind is the way that ‘Pensacola’ constantly shifts gears to the point where it probably could have been divided up into three unique tracks. The threadbare existence of the opening ‘Deer’ and closing ‘Leaky Breaks’ is another obvious example, acting as exhales surrounding an otherwise wound up ordeal. The profound delivery of what amounts to technically basic material, though, is kind of the whole point. It’s a tool used to express how we over exaggerate the emotional conflicts that we harbor within, when in reality the solution is directly in front of us: simple math. The theme of overreaching, or scrutinizing the obvious to a fault, is represented through every exaggerated note, haunting children’s choir, and daunting string section. Perhaps Andy Hull states it best during the chorus of the title track, when he poignantly inquires, “What if we’ve been trying to get to where we’ve always been?” If Manchester Orchestra is capable of making such a self-reflective statement, maybe there is a purpose to all the fanfare after all. – Steve
The rocks and ridges that make up my homeland never seemed very much like home to me; they were always either being bulldozed by some grey shade of an economic nightmare, or owned by people and institutions rooted too firmly in the past. 2011 will forever be the year I learned to look past both of those unfortunate façades, both literally and figuratively, and I have Frank Turner to thank for that. So frequently on England Keep My Bones does he sing with conviction about roots and legacy that it has taught me to see the beauty in those things, but, more than merely a transferred tick on a census form, the reason Turner’s fourth studio album is so earth-shattering lies in its values rather than old ruins and photographs.
On “Peggy Sang The Blues” he pleads that where you go matters far more than where you come from, and all of England Keep My Bones finds itself somewhere within that statement, acknowledging the past on more than a casual basis but never journeying back into it. Turner’s sound itself has shifted a couple of gears since the days of Sleep Is For The Week, but it’s the ever-present and unchanging blood of his songwriting perspective that shines most prominently here, transforming the physical act of decay into a stunning metaphor one moment and conjuring Bob Dylan as the hero of an escape story the next. From top to bottom, England Keep My Bones is a call to arms which treasures ancestry and memory but cares not for complacency, and for embodying these qualities it stands as Turner’s greatest achievement to date – which is saying quite a lot indeed. – Adam Knott
Anthony Gonzalez has never been exactly subtle with anything he has ever done under the M83 moniker. Then again, 2011 might have just been the perfect year for M83 to break out into the mainstream consciousness. The year was all about a redux of the 80’s grandiosity; from the big synths of Mylo Xyloto to the big drums and bigger choruses of Ceremonials, 2011 wanted to announce itself in big twinkling neon lights for all the world to see. In such a fluorescent backdrop, the singular hook that opens “Midnight City” epitomizes why M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, even more than predecessors Dead Cities or Before the Dawn, marks Anthony Gonzalez as a songwriter worth noticing—even if the song still seems odd on a Victoria’s Secret commercial (but then again Menomena is on a Crown Royal one, so yay Capitalism). Each track runs like a little rivulet into the night time, and yes the hyperbole is necessary. This album is massive. At a staggering 22 tracks, M83 put the long in long-player. And yet, everything here fits snugly into the world of the album. The rocketing synth-pop numbers like “Steve McQueen,” the epic releases like “Intro,” the soothing ballads like “Wait,” the ethereal interstitials like “Where the Boats Go” (which, by the way, is just the end of OMD’s “Sealand”): everything here flows together to make the album an experience.
That may sound cliché, but it is exactly what Gonzalez has in mind. With all the talk amongst artists about the loss of the album as a necessary medium, M83 mark their alterity by doing the opposite; what differs Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming from a myriad of other albums that fain similar attempts at an all-encompassing experience is that Gonzalez totally invests himself in the idea. No matter your thoughts on the album it is impossible to fault the effort. In an age where patience and investment flitters slowly away in favour of the immediate, M83 rewards the listener who envelops themselves within the record’s simulacrum of dreams. And it is a warm world. For all the skyline disco synth buzzes and big hooks built for big stages, this album feels equally at home languidly rolling through your ear-buds on the bus home at night as it does amongst a large group of people dancing mindlessly to the bass lines. Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is ultimately a singular album that is certainly indebted to the past—Talking Heads, Kraftwerk, OMD—but marks itself as something branded altogether original. A dream of return, to the places you have known before, but have changed with age and perception. The hill you struggled up on your bike as a child now seems but a footstep; the comfort from these ideas of nostalgia and perception are rolled together against big backdrops, catchy choruses and a 2011-defining sound. It’s almost typically American: small stories set against large vistas. These small stories are warm and inviting; these big backdrops are catchy as hell. Sorry Mr. Gonzalez, I’ll take my time while you dream away. – Keelan H.
It would be so easy to simply write off James Blake’s LP as merely a great album and let it simply speak for itself. But James Blake isn’t a piece of work that comes at you with a rumble; no, it’s subdued, nervous even, hesitant to raise its voice for fear of being noticed. Because James Blake is an artist who deliberately shies away from the obvious; from the honest accusations that seem to be weighing him down like a ton of bricks, he deals more in lingering afterthoughts, the little niggles that just won’t go away. Doled out under a hazy sheen of blue smoke and battlefield grey, James Blake’s eponymous debut LP is a therapeutic affair, as if the constant repetition might finally break away the self-imposed walls he’s confined himself too. That an answer, or at the very least, an understanding might be reached, however difficult it might be to digest. Or maybe, these mantra’s are James Blake’s way of simply shocking himself into submission, as if the reiterations aren’t so much a determined call to arms, but the echo of his statements bouncing back at him, still going unanswered and thus, only haunting him further.
And what gives this album its brooding honesty is that Blake discards the vocal samples he liberally employed to sum up his feelings and opts instead for his own slightly disjointed, occasionally fragmented voice. So even when he didn’t speak those chasms of silence were far from empty, instead marked by fear and hesitation, perhaps even nervous embarrassment as he tried to find the right words to say. Even from a strictly musical perspective was a touch of uncertainty present, as if when Blake felt the floor giving way beneath him, so too would his music seemingly disappear into the abyss, only to slowly clamber back up, a little more shaken and weary. Ignoring the questions surrounding Blake’s apparent ambiguous presence in the music world (“this sure don’t sound like no dubstep”), if Blake’s new lease on life is to be the apparent landmark for the genre in 2011 (and all signs point to yes) then it’s also highly possible to posit the notion that he might have inadvertently given dubstep the kiss of death, simply because rising over this unassuming slab of clumsy yet heartfelt emotion is going to be a task that only few will be up to. While this might not be the greatest achievement of the year, it’s gotten to this point because of its sheer determination to avoid such frivolities and grandeur. And really, could any of you imagine a 2011 without James Blake? – Deviant
I still recall my first experience of Bon Iver’s follow-up to the intensely personal For Emma, Forever Ago. The buzz of the same communities that had thrown their arms around Justin Vernon’s 2008 falsetto and naked guitar had turned to some form of reverence, and all the talk was of an evolution; how the man that had spent months isolated in a winter cabin had morphed into something grander. And I wondered, as I listened: how can you pull yourself far enough away from Bon Iver to form these opinions? How are you able to separate these notes, these songs… these two albums?
Because – honestly – for the first and second listen, I hadn’t even latched onto the fact that the acoustic chords had been replaced by drones, so immersed did I find myself in the atmosphere set by “Perth”’s rolling drums – an ambience that didn’t relent, however much silence was offered, until after (and only after) “Beth/Rest” had exhaled its last. When a record pulls you towards its artistic centre like this one does, what does its surface much matter?
And I realised at that point that one important difference did exist between Bon Iver’s self-titled and his stunning debut; this one didn’t require the safety net of a broken man to catch it should it fall apart. Not that For Emma ever collapsed in such a way, but it was guarded from the shadows, and there is something to be said for the way Vernon brazenly constructs Bon Iver from everywhere and nowhere – the tracks, even, elude the focussed (if imagined) co-ordinates of his first record, and chart stories all across North America.
This atmosphere, evasive and meandering, tugging on your hand like it’s pretending it wants to get away, and the intangible, almost-magical kinship it shares with For Emma’s most vulnerable moments, are the things that – from both inside and outside – make Bon Iver such a startling achievement. These floods of electronics, even “Beth/Rest”’s 80s balladry, are still Bon Iver, in the most real sense possible; as Vernon states himself on “Minnesota, WI”, he did not lose it in the stacks. Nothing at all. It’s still gorgeous; it still makes everything stand still. That even without the backstory, without the bearded-man image, without the element of surprise, Justin Vernon is still capable of flooring us: this is what so many people heard so clearly three years ago. – Adam Knott

- several uncooked spaghetti strands
Offer one or two strands of spaghetti to someone in class and have them try to break it. Obviously it is easy, then offer them a package of spaghetti and have them try to break it. Much more difficult, if at all possible. Strength in numbers.
This object lesson can also be illustrated with a bundle of sticks.
Could also use Alma 48:10 : "And in their weakest fortifications he did place the greater number of men; and thus he did fortify and strengthen the land which was possessed by the Nephites."

Stay Healthy With Healthy Tailgating This Season!
Fall is upon us and with it comes the excitement of football season, fall foods and more. For many of us, the upcoming weekends will be filled with sports, barbeques and all day tailgates. These events are fun, but can come with an abundance of tempting snacks, burgers and hot dogs galore and rich desserts…not exactly the recipe for success in the healthy eating and weight loss categories.
To help you out through the football season – we have some tailgating tips so you don’t let all your hard work during the week go out the window.
THINK HEALTHY GRILLING
Barbeque basics don’t have to be loaded up with sauce or be fat heavy; there are a lot of ways to add nutritional value:
- Lean meat patties – 93% lean or more with options like ground turkey or grass fed beef.
- Opt for healthy burger toppings like avocado, tomato, and lettuce.
- Leave the cheese!
- Try sliders instead of full-size burgers – buy mini buns or whole-wheat rolls and fill them with mini meat patties, small steaks, or barbecued chicken.
- Grill up some chicken kabobs but include some zucchini squash, peppers, and onions on each skewer.
BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS TO SHARE
- Use fat-free Greek yogurt in recipes that call for mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Use low-fat milk or cheese in recipes that call for full-fat versions.
- Bake foods like chicken wings or sweet potato fries instead of frying them.
- Serve salsa with sliced veggies instead of a creamy dip.
You don’t have to be a great cook to whip up healthy party appetizers for tailgates or back-yard get-togethers. Here are some simple tricks to lighten up traditional party foods:
The best way to make good food choices during the tailgate season is to be prepared – don’t go into any party or game super hungry. Be sure to eat a snack or meal an hour or two before the get-together to ward off initial cravings. Here are some other strategies to help you make healthy food choices:
- Keep your hands full with water. You’ll stay hydrated, and you can limit your eating to small nibbles.
- If you know you’re an out-of-control grazer, instead of eating constantly throughout the party, allow yourself to fill a small plate and then position yourself away from the food to reduce temptation.
- Avoid dips and spreads that might be hiding high-fat ingredients. Go for foods you can recognize so you can estimate reasonable portion sizes.
- Fruit and veggies are always a great choice, but other good options include small slices of protein-packed cheese, turkey or ham from a deli tray; a small bowl of chili (skip the cheese and sour cream); a couple of grilled chicken wings (go easy on any sauce) or salsa used as a veggie dip.
- Limit alcohol to save on calories and prevent lowered inhibitions from leading to less-than-optimal food choices.
Football season doesn’t have to be the off-season for your healthy diet. There are many ways you can put a healthy spin on your tailgate or watch party.
If you’re not a member of our gym yet, you can try us out for free! We would love to give you more information, like Healthy Tailgating!

Bayfield High School rebounded from a slight loss to a wide win.
The Wolverines’ baseball team beat Valencia 13-4 on Friday at the Piedra Vista Tournament after losing 4-3 to Farmington on Thursday.
“It was a solid rebound,” BHS head coach Tom Horton said. “I was really hoping they wouldn’t be flat after losing that tight one.
The teams tied 2-all coming out of the first inning, the Wolverines’ runs scored on Clay Miller’s two-run home run.
Miller was 3-for-5 at the plate with a double and six runs batted in, including his homer.
“He would’ve won it offensively for us ... with his stick alone,” Horton said.
Bayfield scored three runs in the third.
The Jaguars crept within one with a two-run fourth, but Bayfield slugged through an eight-run sixth for the final score.
Matthew Knickerbocker was 2-for-4 with three runs, Kelton McCoy was 2-for-3, and Joey Webb was 2-for-2 with two runs.
“We really got the sticks going (Friday),” Horton said.
The Wolverines had 15 hits, while Valencia tallied just six.
Hunter Funkhouser got the win on the mound, pitching four innings for four hits and four runs, three of them earned. He had four strikeouts and six walks.
“He had a little bit of control issues, but it didn’t hurt us,” Horton said.
Knickerbocker closed out with three innings of no-hit baseball.
The Wolverines will wrap up the tournament against Miyamura at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in Farmington.

Who doesn’t love a house concert? It’s an opportunity to meet up with people you haven’t seen in ages and enjoy up and coming musical talent in an intimate atmosphere. Boots N Bands is just that, on a little bigger scale. Each concert is held at a local business, providing local food, with an artist from the Texoma area. The business chooses their favorite local talent and invites all of their closest friends (with our help, of course).
Friday night we enjoyed Smashing Flannel at 903 Brewers. What do we love about Smashing Flannel? The fact that they are a group of Texoma business people making music and having fun. 500 incredibly fun people joined us and jammed to 90’s classics all night! We couldn’t have imagined a better kick off to Boots N Bands 2015!
Will you join us Friday night? It’s bound to be a great time! We will be at Knight Furniture (truly a living room concert, am I right?) singing along with The Leavelles. We have several food trucks, all kinds of souvenirs and photo ops, and have you seen our tshirts? They are the softest, most eye catching t shirts we’ve seen in a while. Pick one up, they are only $7 if you wear your boots on Friday!
Check out some of our favorite pictures from Boots N Bands with Smashing Flannel, they capture the mood of the night. We’ll see you Friday, it wouldn’t be the same without you.

Yesterday, I hid myself in a small cave in the ceiling of the underground lake.
The leg I pulled out had tender meat inside.
It’s odd that a fragment of the meat of the leg didn’t become tense, as it supported a big frame of a few dozen tons and still made it possible to do high-speed movements. The meat had a firm elasticity, as I bit off enough to fill my entire mouth.
And as I ate the crab bite by bite, each bite was accompanied with a burst of rich sweet flavor. The surge in flavor on my tongue hit my brain like a jolt of lightning, almost overloading me with dopamine and pleasure substances.
To be honest, it was more delicious than the Wyvern meat. The meat had a peculiar flavor, which made it very delicious. It’s a very rich taste, which you wouldn’t expect for a crab. Somehow it’s refreshing.
【Ability learned 【Bubble Breath ・ Acid】】
【Ability learned 【Crystal ・ Quartz】】
【Ability learned 【Pressurized Lightning Cannon】】
Being overjoyed because I obtained many offensive abilities, I continued to swim in the underground lake today.
The underground lake has fewer traps than the others, and there weren’t a lot of dungeon monsters either. But because there are rocks sticking out randomly, making some locations very narrow, I needed to be precise in my movements.
Looking around, I spotted small caves here and there, all of them on their own, without any direct connection between them. It is necessary to swim in order to go forward, and because it’s so dim I am often close to being cut by the rocks.
However, once I got used to it, there were hardly any crashes and I was able to gather items along the way, while I went forward as fast as possible.
I was able to arrive at the deepest part of the 20th floor just before noon.
A large circular space was hollowed out here, very different from bare rock surface that remained, with a diameter slightly exceeding 100 meters.
Large bubbles bubbled up from countless of empty holes in the ground of about 10 centimeters. There appeared to be a small enclave near the ceiling that was filled with air, though it was very small. Overall, the battlefield was set in water.
The sources of light on the ceiling and the floor only consist of small amount of glowing shellfish and glowing moss growing naturally on the walls, making this a beautiful place filled in blue transparent light.
The name of the floor boss that you need to fight here is “Vortex Shell Turtle”.
It descended the hollow-out circular space in the center, defended by a massive, extremely solid, moving shell. This huge blue turtle is around 8 meters.
The shell has a hardness that equals dragon scales, with a dozen of pointed protrusions existing on top of it. The protrusions are hollow on the inside, it looks somewhat like the image of a syringe.
While the Vortex Shell Turtle is not moving it manipulates the flow of water in the space with its protrusions. They suck in a large quantity of water, compress it and spew it out again. This creates a huge vortex that can catch an invader trying to attack and can suffocate him.
Even if the opponent doesn’t die, he would have to pass through the solid shell protecting it and try to scrape it off with his attacks. *chima chima* This combined with the terrain makes it a formidable adversary.
Honestly, an effective capture method doesn’t exist.
The thick shell has the ability to complete negate any damage below a fixed amount through either intense heat, lightning, ice and/or physics.
If you assume it’s possible to win, you have to forcibly smash up the facade for which it’s essential that you use overwhelming violence.
【Floor boss [Shell Turtle ・ Vortex] successfully eliminated. 】
【Achiever Yatendouji is permitted to proceed to the next floor, floor boss [Shell Turtle ・ Vortex] can hereafter be passed without battle 】
【Achiever Yatendouji has been Awarded the 【Shell of the Vortex Mary River Turtle】as a first time subjugation bonus 】
【 Achiever Yatendouji has been Assigned the Rare Skill 【Sinker】 as a bonus for a solo kill】
Though the defense of the Vortex Shell Turtle was solid, once you force your way through the vortex, it’s relatively easy to cling on for a moment and finish dealing with it.
It was simple work for me to destroy the shell as I beat it endlessly with my silver arm. I did need some time because it was a big bird to bring down.
After I killed it, I collected the corpse and the chest that was in the form of a turtle and continued to the 21st floor.
The 21st floor was an overturned river with pillars of milky white stone pillars next to it. There were 3 ships of magic metal.

Just going back through and making some small adjustments for consistency/grammar, this chapter is solid. ~Reared in the wild
Last night, I went to bed hiding within a small room located in the ceiling of the underground lake.
Today's breakfast was the [Crystal King Crab] meat that I didn't dare to eat yesterday. I wanted to try turning it into soup because it was a crab, but I ate it raw instead. After ripping off one of its legs, I began to eat its soft flesh. This leg was truly abnormal, to be able to move with such high-speed maneuverability despite supporting a body that could easily weight several dozen tons. The meat was firm and elastic, on top of that my mouth was filled with juice with a single bite.
The inherent sweetness of the crab's meat filled my mouth, and the overwhelming sense of pleasure gushing forth from my tongue struck me like lightning.
Ability [Corrosive Bubble Breath] learned
Ability [Crystalline Wave Vibration] learned
Ability [Pressurized Thunder Cannon] learned
While being pleased from gaining so many offensive abilities, I continued my voyage to the bottom of the lake.
Although there weren't many traps and monsters about, just navigating through the disorderly piles of protruding sharp rocks and tight spaces takes quite a bit of nerve.
Naturally there are small rooms located here and there, dotting the landscape. But since they weren't connected, You'd have to swim to go from one to the other. On top of that, it was rather dim here, so you're quite susceptible to injuries from the rocks.
Once you get used to it though, it wasn't much of a problem. I was advancing as quickly as possible while collecting any items I came across.
After lunch I was able to reach the 20th floor. In front of me lies a hollowed out large circular dome that could have easily reached over 100 meters in diameter.
Innumerable bubbles 10 centimeters in diameter began to bubble up from the ground. There seems to be an air pocket on the ceiling of the dome like a small room, but the majority of the space is filled with water, for aquatic combat.
The only source of light in this room comes from [Bio-luminescent Shellfish] and glowing moss that grew naturally on the walls, filling the room with a crystal clear blue light. The room looked beautiful.
So the name of the boss in this room is [Vortex Armored Turtle]. It appears to be a giant blue turtle stuck to the center of the room, 8 meters in length, protected by a terribly thick carapace. In addition to being possessed of a hardness comparable to dragon scales and crustaceans, it also had tens of hollowed spikes covering it, not unlike syringe needles.
The turtle attacks by siphoning water with its spikes, creating a whirlpool that draws the victim towards it, drowning it in the process before dealing the finishing blow itself.
It relies on its hard shell to fend off enemy attacks while it feeds. Combining this with the surrounding terrain, this makes for quite a hard foe.
Frankly, there is no effective way to deal with this boss.
The thick armor has the ability to nullify lightning, ice, water, heat, and physical attacks to a certain extent.
To win, you need sufficient force to crush his forehead.
[Dungeon Boss [Vortex Armored Turtle] successfully eliminated]
[Yatendouji recognized the right of further progress, choice to further advance without fighting the dungeon boss [Vortex Armored Turtle] is now available]
[As a bonus for eliminating the boss for the first time, Yatendouji will receive the treasure box [Tortoise Hiding in the Vortex]]
[As a bonus for [Solo Kill], Yatendouji will be sent the rare ability [Utopia]]
The carapace protecting the turtle certainly was hard, but once you disperse the whirlpool, the fight becomes relatively easy. A blow from my silver arm was enough to break its outer armor, but due to its sheer size, it took a while to kill him.
After collecting the treasure box as well as the carcass of the turtle, I advanced towards the 21st floor. On the 21st floor was a river, surrounded by milky white columns, 3 magical metal vessels were docked on the shores.

2391 Woodland Avenue | Architects: Edwin Radcliffe & Vernon Price | b. 1908 | Extant
Newspaper articles in 1908 and 1909 printed numerous stories about the homes on Second Street from Fourth to Sixth Avenues West which would have to be relocated or demolished for the construction of the 1909 St. Louis County Courthouse. Many of the houses were homes of influential Duluthians, including Captain Alexander McDougall, D. G. Cash, A. M. Miller, A. D. Thomson and William Spalding, all of whom had built impressive homes along Second Street.
Spalding is perhaps best known as the namesake and chief stockholder of the Spalding Hotel, once Duluth’s grandest hostelry at Fifth Avenue West and Superior Street, across from A. M. Miller’s Lyceum Theatre. Spalding and his wife Electra had moved to Duluth from Ontonagon, Michigan, in 1869. Their home in Ontonagon was dismantled and shipped to Duluth where it was rebuilt at 504 West Second Street.
Spalding was an early Duluth alderman and president of the Iron Range Railroad. By 1888 the Spaldings replaced their early home with a grand brick Queen Anne Victorian house with a tall corner tower on the Second Street lot. The address was changed to 129 North 5th Avenue West in 1892. William Spalding died in 1901, but Electra was still living in the large home when it was determined to be moved or demolished for the courthouse. When we wrote Lost Duluth just two years ago, we believed it had been demolished. But this past month we discovered that the May 17, 1908 Duluth News Tribune ran a sketch above the headline, “HOW THE SPALDING HOME WILL LOOK WHEN REBUILT.”
The subsequent article announced that A. L. Warner had purchased the Spalding home from the county and would move it to “Woodland Park” to be rebuilt. A sketch by architects Edwin Radcliffe and Vernon Price accompanied the story. That drawing closely resembles the present house at 2391 Woodland Avenue, but looks a far cry from the house that stood on the present site of the courthouse. So the Spalding house had not been demolished. Like the Spalding’s Michigan home, it was likely dismantled and moved to the Woodland address. But once there it was reassembled in a completely different design, probably with additional new materials.
The home’s new owner, Amos L. Warner, had lived in Duluth with his wife Harriet since 1886. He was a successful real estate man with interests in timber and farming lands. A building permit granted in April, 1909, for Harriet Warner states that a brick building would be constructed in Woodland Park for $7,500. That’s roughly $190,000 today. This is a further indication that additional materials were needed to turn the Spalding house into the Warner home. Carpenters were able to reuse most of the woodwork that was inside the Spalding home. The main entrance still has the address “129” etched in glass above the door.
The Warners and their children lived in the red brick, two-and-a-half story house with elements from both Second Renaissance Revival and the Prairie School styles until 1921. During that time Warner was elected to the Minnesota State Legislature and served from 1913 to 1915. By 1921 Warner had moved to Minneapolis, taking a job as president of the Bankers National Bank. The Warner’s marriage had likely ended in divorce: Harriet did not go to Minneapolis with her husband and instead moved in with one of their daughters in Montana. Warner remarried and died in Minneapolis in 1945. Harriet moved to Seattle at some time and died there in 1938.
When the Warners left Duluth, the house on Woodland Avenue was sold to Hiram and Catherine Elliott. He was president of West Duluth’s Elliott Packing Company, once the largest meat processing concern in the region. When the Elliotts left the house in 1932, it stood vacant until 1936 when Dr. Lawrence R. Gowan Sr. purchased it. Gowan was the first psychiatrist to work at Duluth hospitals, beginning in 1926 at St Mary’s Hospital.
Dr. Gowan planned to establish a rest home for individuals suffering from conditions such as “neuritis, insomnia, nervous exhaustion, loss of appetite, high blood pressure with headaches, and fatigue.” He sought a home with “quiet, pleasant surroundings” an opportunity for outdoor and indoor recreation, with “types of massage, baths, light treatments and electricity,” according to the description of the rest home he submitted to the Duluth Board of Zoning Appeals. Dr. Gowan specifically stated that the property would not care for mental patients. He would call his sanatorium “The Birches Health Resort.”
Duluth architect Harold St. Clair Starin designed a 1935 remodel of the Warner home according to Dr. Gowan’s vision. Starin created eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library, a sun room, and a sun porch in addition to the living room, kitchen and dining room. The rest home opened in 1937. In 1938 Dr. Gowan hired Starin again, this time to remodel a two-story log cabin for The Birches caretaker’s home. (The cabin was on the property when Gowan had purchased it, but we can find no records of its construction). In 1942 the building’s name was changed to The Birches Sanitarium. It closed in 1958. Gowan continued to treat patients in private practice until he retired in 1975.
By 1965 George and Eva McKenzie lived at 2391 Woodland Avenue and attempted for several years to get permission to open a rooming house for students at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Finally in 1968 they succeeded and opened The Birches Rooming House for twenty-one students. UMD students lived in the Warner house until 1990. At one point there was a fire inside the home. The owners had the charred woodwork replicated so that the repair work maintained the interior’s architectural integrity.
Since the house closed as student housing it has been a family home. The current owners have worked with Duluth architect Elden Lindamood since 2000 on an extensive remodel. With Lindamood’s design, Duluth’s Better World Builders have made extensive renovations to the house, including turning the 1909 porte-cochere into an enclosed music room.
Because of several additions and remodeling, the house at 2391 Woodland Avenue likely vaguely resembles the house Marilyn Borell’s mother stayed in when she was a patient at The Birches. And William and Electra Spalding wouldn’t recognize it.

Charter schools are public, nonsectarian schools created through a contract or "charter" between the operators and sponsoring school board. The Wisconsin charter school law gives charter schools freedom from most state rules and regulations in exchange for greater accountability for results. The charter defines the missions and methods of charter school; the chartering authority (school board) holds the school accountable to its charter.
(Information extracted from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Wisconsin Charter School guide.)
Appleton Area School District has a total of 15 different Charter schools. For more information, click on the schools tab above to see a complete list of Charter schools.
Many students receive notification of approval to enroll in a charter school. However, different factors are taken into account that may prohibit acceptance into the AASD. Your child’s enrollment, therefore, will not be official until accepted by the District for open enrollment. Notification of the District’s decision is sent to families the first week of June. Your child’s spot at the charter school will be held until that time if you accept the position in the charter school now.

I can’t think of a better lead-in for tonight other than a quip from the legendary Vin Scully:
“Let’s get back to this Loony Tunes of a ballgame,” he said. Such an apt description from one of baseball’s most revered wordsmiths and storytellers. If you weren’t hardy enough to spend your late night with the rest of us nocturnal beings, you missed a wacky and much wilder game than the score suggested.
But first, The Good: The Indians scored ten runs on thirteen hits. After somehow managing only two hits total in consecutive games, the Tribe wasted no time in turning Josh Beckett (5 INN/6 H/5 ER/5 SO/1 BB) into their personal pinata. The Indians outpaced the output of their last 18 innings in just four batters, highlighted by Michael Brantley’s RBI-double and Lonnie Chisenhall’s two run shot that just barely cleared the right field wall. A 3-0 cushion surely gets Justin Masterson (3 INN/7 H/3 ER/7 SO/3 BB) off and running, right?
The Bad: Justin Masterson. He is The Bad. Everything about him is Bad. His mechanics; his allegedly balky knee; his confidence; his unintentionally creepy goatee. It all just screams for a DL stint and shows just how far he’s fallen from the perch where he was sitting where he was in position to command the big bucks. Little did he, or anybody know, how much he’d end up spending from that $17 million he was seeking before he actually got the money. With every start, he finds himself whittling away his price-tag (one that I felt he was worth, by the way) to the point where the Indians could potentially afford to bring him back. And as a trade piece? Probably not as much as the Tribe brass was hoping once the decision time comes up after the break. But I digress.
The point is, Masterson labored through just three innings with Nick Swisher assisting on dropping a soft toss that accumulated what felt like 5,000 extra pitches after Adrian Gonzalez got the Dodgers on the board. To Swisher’s credit however, he cashed in an two-RBI double that broadened the lead to 5-2; his first RBI hit since his walkoff against the Angels.
It was the fourth inning where the Tribes’ fortunes began to change.
Following Josh Beckett’s second double of the game (!), Dee Gordon hit a bunt single to put runners at the corners with nobody out. Tito saw enough. Out goes the Tribe’s beleaguered ace for Kyle Crockett, who is surely pitching way past his bedtime. Crockett immediately gives up an RBI single to Yasiel Puig. What is being said by your humble narrator at this moment are not fit to print. 5-3, Tribe.
Now, I don’t know if you’re a believer in fate or destiny and all that jazz. After all, the old baseball saying is that “momentum is only as good as tomorrow’s starting pitcher.” But if there was ever a moment that could clearly be the switch to a full-tilt second half charge towards another meaningful September and possibly beyond, we may be thanking Michael Brantley for lighting the proverbial fuse.
With still no one out after Puig’s single and Gordon’s speed at third and Adrian Gonzalez at the plate, the baseball deities granted a miracle. Gonzalez lined out to Michael Brantley who fired a strike to nail Gordon at home. Puig, as he is carelessly wont to do, tried to force the issue by sneaking into second! OUT! TRIPLE PLAY! GAME GONE BANANAS!
Or is he…?
(Full disclosure: I thought he was safe. Still think he was safe. But I’m not gonna complain about catching breaks.)
So anyway, Tito had to challenge. He won the challenge Don Mattingly was like “NUH UH, I’M CHALLENGING THE PLAY AT THE PLATE.” The play on Gordon seemed to be a heck of a lot clearer than the the Puig tag, but whatever, it was burning a hole in Donnie Baseball’s pocket, and nobody wants to lose out on just your garden variety 7-2-4 inning-ender.
Gomes threw out Gordon as he was trying to steal AND chipped in with a pair of doubles and two RBI. He had an absolute MONSTER night. David Murphy also had two hits and a ribbie as he broke his 1-for-Dark Ages slump.
In the end, the Indians were a cranky bunch, and needed to be a bully. Tonight was one of those nights where we saw something very rare and it worked out in our favor. Let’s hope it’s the catalyst.
And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the work of the bullpen tonight. Six innings scoreless. They are just as worthy of praise. And we saw Chris Perez, who looked like he’s still got the munchies. (*WINK*)
W: Kyle Crockett (2-0); L: Josh Beckett (5-5)

MP3Gain -- Give MP3 Files the Same Volume
RandallS - Tue, 2007-10-30 07:52
If you have a lot of MP3 files, you probably are interrupted a number of times when you play a playlist to change the volume as at least one MP3 in your playlist is probably far too loud while others are not loud enough. MP3Gain corrects this by allowing you to select a group of MP3 files which it will "normalize" to a similar volume level/loudness. Better yet, MP3Gain does not re-encode the file to make its adjustments. You can adjust the volume repeatedly with MP3Gain without affecting the quality of the MP3 recording.
This is one of those programs that does one little job and does it well. It is easy to use and really works.
Operating System: Windows

NHS Health CheckOverview
The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.
If you're in the 40-74 age group without a pre-existing condition, you can expect to receive a letter from your GP or local authority inviting you for a free NHS Health Check every five years. In the meantime, you may want to try this online Heart Age test.
Once you've had your NHS Health Check, your healthcare professional will discuss your results with you. You'll be given advice to help you lower your risk of a stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes or dementia, and maintain or improve your health. But you don't have to wait until then to make healthy changes. Take the How Are You quiz and start now with these health apps and trackers.

The OMNI artificial hip system, called the K2 or the Apex K2, is a modular artificial hip system designed to allow surgeons to individualize components for each patient. This leads to a better fit, and it is hoped, a more durable artificial hip. The K2 hip system, like many other artificial hips, is made of metal components and includes a stem that attaches to the femur, a neck, and a socket.
The titanium K2 hip system is more advanced than many artificial hips, and is designed to be durable and to last. Unfortunately for some patients this isn’t always the case. The metal rubbing against metal can cause serious problems, like metal poisoning, and the K2 has been found to fail sooner and more often than expected. Many patients have needed revision surgeries to correct problems with the Apex K2 hip system.
Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure that replaces either the entire hip or just the damaged parts. The hip joint is a simple ball and socket, with the ball on the end of the femur, or thigh bone, and the socket on the pelvis. When diseases like arthritis, cancer, or even injuries, cause damage to the joint it can lead to pain and a lack of mobility. Replacing the joint, or parts of it, with artificial components restores movement and flexibility, and reduces pain.
Traditionally, hip replacement has been reserved for older patients who it was assumed would not need the new hip to last for decades or to withstand a lot of activity. Companies like OMNI, though, have developed newer and sturdier hip systems that are supposed to be more durable for younger patients. In some cases, this has turned out to be a false promise.
The OMNI Apex K2 Hip System
OMNI is a medical device company that started in 1999 as Apex Surgical, LLC. Apex was bought by OMNIlife science, Inc. in 2004 and eventually changed its name to just OMNI. That same year OMNI debuted its K2 hip system and it became available for surgeons to use for hip replacement patients.
The K2 Apex hip system is a titanium modular artificial hip. This means that the three main components, the stem, neck, and head, can be changed out for parts of different sizes. This helps surgeons to create the perfectly-sized hip system for each individual patient. OMNI claims to have 96 different possible combinations with the K2 system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of the K2 hip system in 2004. It is indicted for use in hip replacement surgeries for the treatment of inflammatory degenerative joint diseases like arthritis and avascular necrosis, congenital hip dislocation, functional deformities, fractures of the femoral neck, and for the use in revision surgeries to correct or replace broken or failed artificial hips.
Risks of Hip Surgery
All surgeries come with risks, including bad reactions to anesthesia, infections, excessive bleeding, and the formation of blood clots. Hip surgery in particular carries the risk of developing a deep joint infection, nerve damage, different lengths of the legs, and bone fractures. After surgery there are risks which include the failure or dislocation of the joint, which can lead to infections, pain, inflammation, and revision surgeries.
Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants
While the Apex K2 system is an advanced, durable hip, it has problems too. It is a metal-on-metal hip system, which means that all components are made of metal. This is supposed to make it more durable and suitable for younger and more active patients. Unfortunately there have been proven risks with metal hip implants. When the metal components rub against each other, for instance, small pieces can break off and cause metal poisoning.
Metal hips have also been shown to cause bone fractures near the hip, dislocations in the joint, and loosening or shifting of the joint once it is implanted. These problems can be very painful and damaging and nearly always require revision surgery to correct. The K2 hip system in particular has been found to have some of these failure problems.
Metal poisoning, or metallosis is a risk with any metal-on-metal hip system, including OMNI’s K2. When metal rubs against metal, pieces wear off and enter the blood stream. The FDA has warned that any metal hip system carries certain risks because of metallosis. These include kidney damage, a reaction and inflammation at the site of the joint, neurological damage, cardiomyopathy, skin rashes, thyroid problems, and mood or cognitive impairment.
Although metal-on-metal hips are supposed to be more durable, they have been proven to be prone to breakage. The K2 system in particular has been seen to break more often than others. One problem is that it was approved through the FDA’s 510(k) system. This approval process does not require rigorous testing for a new device because similar devices are already on the market. Since the K2 was not tested, these problems with breakages were not discovered until many people were already fitted with the hip system.
K2 hips are especially prone to break at the neck, the connection between the stem that attaches to the femur and the socket that attaches to the pelvic bone. One study found that corrosion at the neck may be responsible for the higher rate of breakages as compared to other hip systems. Why they are corroding more than other hips is not known, but when the breakage occurs, patients require another surgery to get a new hip or component.
Banned in Australia
The Apex K2 hip system is still in use in the U.S. despite these problems, but in Australia, the organization equivalent to the FDA here, has pulled the system from the market. Data collected there indicated that patients who used the K2 hip system required more revision surgeries than others due to breakages. More than nine percent of patients with the K2 needed revision surgery within three years of the initial surgery.
The high revision rates and the rates of breakages in K2 hips may lead to a number of lawsuits. If you have been harmed by a K2 hip, consult with a lawyer to find out what your legal options are for recovering monetary damages.

Failure to launch: nano toxicity studies may be affected by nanoparticles staying behind in syringes
A new study has shown that a significant fraction of nanoparticles tested in the toxicity studies of nanoparticles and to develop nanomedicines, may remain in the plastic syringes used to dose the nanoparticles. This has implications on the reliability and reproducibility of the studies and on efforts to reduce animal testing.
Helsinki, 25 November 2019 – The scientists in this study radiolabelled a variety of different nanoparticles, loaded suspensions of particles into different plastic syringes, and then measured the radioactivity left behind after emptying the nanoparticle suspension from the syringe. This gave a simple way to measure the fraction of nanoparticles that remained stuck inside the syringe. In the worst case, up to 79.1% of the particles remained.
The study also found variability in the amounts remaining behind depending on the types of particles and syringes used. The researchers propose checks to find out the correct combination of syringe and nanoparticle that should be used to minimise the problem. The study did not identify the root causes of the high variability between the different nanoparticles and syringe types used.
Although a similar problem exists in the field of nuclear medicine, this is the first study of its kind to demonstrate it for nano particles. The results can have implications for the performance of toxicity studies on nanoparticles, the development of new nanomedicines and for animal welfare.
Studies used to develop nanomedicines, as well as some toxicology studies can be both costly and time consuming, and uncertainty regarding the fraction of nanoparticles remaining behind in syringes, instead of reaching the test animals, may compromise the interpretation of their results.

500D ML 16 seconds video recording limit?
Created originally on Bitbucket by Anonymous
Great thanks for the Magic lantern on 500D, but it happened in ML 1.55beta version but not in ML 1.50 version.While recording in video mode it is oftern stopped with a 100% filled buffering notice just at 16second everytime. Almost every time at 16S!!because 20fps to 30fps matter?? Did anybody meet this problem before? Tell me how to solve the strange stuff.

Re: Hungry for Aikido
I see two separate issues here. One is the rate of "hard core students" not increasing even though the overall number of students has increased. The other is about training outside one's "circle." When I was at the Aikikai Honbu, it was basically the non-Japanese who trained everyday regardless of instructor. We thought we were being "hardcore", but for some of us, it interferred with our progress as we were too busy doing "Aikido" and not learning what one specific teacher was teaching. It could be an "us vs. them" mentality that keeps people from training with various teachers or it could be that some are looking for a kind of transmission from one specific teacher. This, I feel, is the Japanese way. That is not to say that it is better (although I now kind of lean that way.) If a person has found their "teacher" and that teacher has limited classes, I don't think it is necessarily a good idea for the student to go to another dojo the other days of the week.

A personal loan is a short-term loan to facilitate you with your finances. This payday loan is secured against a future paycheck. These loans have become quite popular today, and now this is the main way to get financial benefit in the form of a cash advance. A personal loan is a type of debt which is made for personal, family, or household use, and which is neither a business loan nor a long-term mortgage loan. The lender loans money to the borrowers. The borrowers pay back this amount, usually but not always in regular installments.

Sonja Petermann, artist in residence at Main Street Arts, during the month of December 2018, is working in one of our two studio spaces on our second floor. We asked Sonja some questions about her work and studio practice:
Tell us about your background
I live in St. Louis, MO, where I’m from. I received my B.F.A. with concentrations in printmaking and drawing from Ohio Wesleyan University. Since moving back to St. Louis, I’ve worked at multiple local print shops, including the Firecracker Press and Island Press.
How would you describe your work?
My work is quite perceptual and I rarely use color, save for the hue of the paper. Typically, I work from the figure, often within an architectural framework. By prioritizing interesting composition and mark-making more than realistic rendering, I am able to bring out intense contrast and textures for a more expressive piece.
What is your process for creating a work of art?
It’s hard for me to determine exactly where my process begins because my life and my work are constantly influencing each other. Even though my work is not highly conceptual, topics I studied in school or am generally curious about often find their way into my creative process. I read, journal, sketch, and take photos in preparation for my projects. Though I think a lot about my subject matter and compositions, I really let myself go when I begin to work on a new piece or edition. This way I can react to the piece as it evolves and avoid becoming close-minded when things go in a different direction. In addition, I usually have multiple pieces in progress at the same time. It’s a great way to continue making, even if you’re stuck.
What is the most useful tool in your studio?
Paper! Paper is amazing.
What are your goals for this residency?
Currently, I am exploring collagraph, one of many print processes. In the beginning, I’ll explore which materials and tools make which marks and tones. The print above is an example of what collagraph can look like (this piece is a work in progress). Once I have refined my methods, I will begin printing a series of prints relating to memory. My goal is to finish this series.
What’s next for you?
After this residency, I will return to St. Louis where I have a job waiting for me as well as a space I hope to turn into a studio. Still, I will continue applying to residency programs.
Where else can we find you?
Instagram is the best bet: @sonjapetermann . I have a Facebook account, but I rarely use it these days. Website coming soon!

Heavy Haulage in the UK with uShip
Sometimes, heavy equipment transport can be an even bigger job than the machinery itself. With so many types of machinery to be transported, finding a qualified transporter who can do the job in the right time frame and at the right price can feel like a challenge. For the sake of your equipment, you want to be sure the transporter is experienced in machinery relocation and understands the unique requirements of this type of transport, but finding these professionals can be difficult without the right resource. No two heavy equipment deliveries are the same, so it’s important that the transporter is experienced with transporting the type of equipment you need transported.
If you’re a seller who needs to send machinery to a customer, it’s especially important to select a qualified transporter so that they provide the same positive experience you have to that customer. A bad delivery experience can affect the customer’s view not only of the transporter, but of your business. When choosing a transporter to work with on heavy haul deliveries, be sure to verify their credentials, and read any reviews left by previous customers. Additionally, finding a transporter who agrees on a price that works for both you and your customers is vital. Many business owners simply rely on machinery movers they’ve worked with in the past, which can be great for reliability, but leaves little room for price improvement.
On the other hand, you might need to transport a piece of your own equipment at some point. Whether you’re buying or selling a piece of machinery from a private party, or simply need your equipment relocated to a different site, you’ll want to find the best transporter for the job. If you haven’t transported equipment before, it can be confusing to even begin the process. How much can I expect to pay? How long will it take? Has the transporter completed this type of delivery before? These are all common and understandable questions. The best advice is to carefully review the transporter you select by reviewing their past performance, comparing quotes, and choosing the option that best aligns with your time frame.
Choose the Best Heavy Haulage Company
After creating your listing, you will begin to receive quotes from machinery transport companies in the UK. If you see a quote that you’re interested in, you can then contact the heavy haulage UK company and ask any questions you might have.
On our uShip page, we have a dedicated page profile for each of the companies we work with. This means you can delve a little deeper into their history, their safety details and records, and any customer testimonials and reviews from previous experiences. On the specific profiles, you will also be able to check out photographs of the equipment used, and previous jobs. This will give you a more visual clue of what to expect, and will help you make your decision.

I will stop putting myself down. I am a good person, a beautiful person and I deserve every happiness.
I will stop dating guys because I am afraid to be alone.
I will understand that just because a guy likes me doesn’t mean he is the right guy for me.
I will start believing that the right guy will come along. He will be smart. He will be employed. He will not need saving.
I will stop believing I can change damaged men. I will stop accepting damaged men into my life.
I will start working on who I am and stop worrying about everyone else’s issues.
I will stop paying for guys stuff. I will understand that I am not being generous by doing so. I am buying their affection and it is wrong. Unemployed/under-employed men are not a ‘catch’ no matter how nice they seem.
I am a princess and should be treated as such.
I will stop hanging onto the past. Past mistakes. Past relationships. I will move forward having learned something.
I will understand that alcohol might make me feel better for a little while but it leads to more mistakes and bad choices. I will learn to drink less and be in control more.
I am strong. Sometimes I forget that.
I will understand that when the people who love me most, my family, tells me I’m doing something wrong, I will listen. I will take that information and my gut to learn what’s right.
I will listen to that voice telling me to stop. It is always right. I will believe it and act accordingly.
I will stop hanging around people who are damaged. They are not my friends. They care about only themselves and they hurt me.
I will work on believing that I am my best friend. I love me because I am worthy.
I will understand that facts are facts. I can lie to myself and others but it doesn’t change the truth. I cannot run from the truth.
I will understand that sex is not love. Sex is not a soother. Guys who want sex do not love me. Sex without love hurts me and others.
I will believe that real love is something I deserve. Something worth waiting for. Something I have not found yet. Something I will find.

Those looking for real estate in the area now have a new resource to make their purchasing decisions easier than ever before.
Real Estate Focus is a publication created in partnership between the Kootenay News Advertiser and the Cranbrook Daily Townsman that is distributed within the region via our newspapers and in highly-visible locations throughout Calgary.
“This is a very important industry to our local economy and as leaders in our community we recognized a need in the region and have joined forces to create the perfect vehicle for our local real estate market,” said, Cranbrook Daily Townsman Publisher Karen Johnston. “Albertans love our region and we want to ensure this product highlights the housing industry to potential investors and those considering relocation.”
The publication features all the local listings in one convenient supplement, making it easy to find the property you are looking for.
Local and Calgary distribution totals more than 33,000 copies of Real Estate Focus. This large coverage was important to the partners not only because of the economic benefits, but also because they want to show as many people as possible the beauty and opportunities of the region.
“We really see this as an important product in the market,” said Kootenay News Advertiser Publisher Chuck Bennett. “We are happy with our first edition and expect it to only grow from there.”
Real Estate Focus has been distributed locally in the August 21 Cranbrook Daily Townsman. Expect to see your Real Estate Focus distributed in the Kootenay News Advertiser on August 29.
Contact Danielle Strom at the Kootenay News Advertiser to see your property in the next edition.

Hey Angels and Alphas,
This year, you decided to commit (or recommit) to eating healthier, fresh, whole foods. But there’s just one snag: it can take so much time to wash, cut, cook, prep, and overall take care of your diet.
That’s where convenience foods come in and save the day. Think about the pre-cooked brown rice and lentils, or the washed and halved (or even shredded) Brussels sprouts. These are products created for convenience, and they can help you reduce your prep time while allowing you to eat healthy, quick meals more often.
Here are 5 tips and tricks you can keep up your sleeve next time you’re doing some healthy meal prep shopping:
#1 DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET CHILLY
Keep your freezer stocked with broccoli florets, cauliflower rice, frozen veggies, you name it. These products are all great options to have on hand and they guarantee you’ll always have a veggie available for mealtime.
What’s more, they need pretty much no washing or chopping, and they’re extra good because they reduce food waste (because let’s face it, a lot of people have trouble eating fresh produce before it goes bad.) Steam, roast, or saute frozen veggies, or throw frozen cauli into a smoothie and blend for that extra dose of fiber.
The same goes for frozen fruit! Frozen cherries and grapes will make amazing snacks. At the same time, berries can be heated in a microwave to make a sugar-free syrup for your waffles or whole-grain pancakes.
#2 PICK OUT YOUR PRE-CUTS
While the cost might be a little bit higher, pre-cut and washed veggies are some of the most convenient products that can save you a ton of time in meal prep.
Try to find pre-chopped broccoli and cauliflower or even pre-snapped green beans. Shredded Brussels sprouts. Cubed butternut squash. The possibilities are endless! Or you can consider purchasing veggies that don’t require any chopping (just a quick rinse.) These can include peapods or baby bell peppers.
#3 TRY OUT PRE-COOKED PROTEIN
Not everyone has the time to cook chicken or fish as soon as they come home. Or whenever they need a meal. If this sounds like you, you should know it’s absolutely OK to rely on pre-cooked proteins. You just have to make sure you’re choosing them wisely.
Some options might be very high in sodium and fat. But if you can find pre-cooked proteins with minimal added ingredients, such as no-salt-added canned tuna, beans, chicken, or pre-cooked frozen shrimp, you’ll save yourself a ton of time in meal prep.
A rotisserie chicken also saves on prep, and not to mention, it’s usually a lot juicier than purchasing pre-cooked chicken breasts. When shopping, try to find options that contain less than 20 percent of your daily recommended value for sodium per serving.
#4 SMOOTHEN THE PROCESS WITH SAUCE
Here’s one thing you won’t see a busy person doing on a weeknight: simmering their own sauces. With all the amazing bottled simmer sauces, seasoning packets, and marinades out there, you never have to make your own sauces if you don’t want to. They have the ability to lift a bland, basic meal into an interesting, craveable one.
Here’s one warning: read the nutrition label and every ingredient on that ingredient list. Try to find a product that packs less than 10 percent of your daily recommended value for saturated fat, added sugar, and sodium. Read through the labels and try to find products that are made from whole foods while keeping the added sugars and salt to a minimum.
#5 PACKAGED WHOLE GRAINS MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER
You don’t want to spend an hour of your time boiling brown rice for tonight’s stir-fry? Not a problem. You can just vent a pouch of parboiled rice and just zap it in the microwave for about 90 seconds. After that, you’ve got a meal ready to get dressed up.
Just make sure you’re buying products that only contain rice or grain. If they’re seasoned, pay attention to the sodium. Sodium levels can skyrocket if you’re using multiple products with added sodium all in one meal. Still, you’ll be one step closer to a delicious, easy-to-make, good-for-you meal that will help you move closer to your goals.

This post has been cited in the 5 August 2009 Health Wonk Review, hosted by Disease Management Care Blog.
Several recent reports and journal articles describe considerable market concentration among health insurers. And there has been debate in the blogosphere about the merits of competition among insurers. Should consumers worry that increased market power by insurers means higher premiums than would otherwise exist in a more competitive market? Or should consumers rejoice that the buying power of a larger insurer will command lower prices from providers thereby keeping health care costs in check?
These are tricky questions and ones I’ve raised before. But now I have some answers from–wait for it–health economists (naturally).
In his 1998 Health Services Research article Managed Care, Market Power, and Monopsony, Mark Pauly lays out some helpful theory. In the case of a monopsony insurer (a market with only one health insurance plan) overall welfare (consumer plus producer surplus) is lower than in the case of a more competitive market. However consumer surplus (the value of the product to consumers less the price they pay) may increase depending on the type of insurer. A for-profit monopsony health insurer may not pass the lower provider prices to consumers through lower premiums. A nonprofit monopsony health insurer, on the other hand, will (in theory).
OK, what does this mean? It means that, according to theory, consumers get the best deal when the health insurer has considerable market power (monopsony or market share concentrated in very few insurers) and when the insurer is a nonprofit entity (as would be the co-ops recently proposed by Senator Kent Conrad). Nevertheless, a monopsony insurer reduces producer surplus (and therefore overall welfare) by extracting prices from providers below those of a competitive market.
If you care about the welfare of producers (doctors, hospitals), as the American Medical Association (AMA) does then this is a concern. To what extent should consumers care about the welfare of producers? Perhaps it is relevant to know whether or not the producer market is competitive or monopolistic? If producers are monopolistic and extracting extra profit (rents) then there is justification in breaking them up, doing so would be welfare improving. If the provider market is already competitive then perhaps providers would be unfairly taken advantage of via a monopsony insurer.
This suggests two ways to achieve lower health care prices: (1) support a trend toward monopsony in the insurer market (welfare reducing though possibly consumer welfare improving, but not always) or (2) break up monopolistic providers (welfare improving). Both would lower prices, and they are not mutually exclusive. If a policy is implemented and we observe a reduction in prices is it welfare improving or not? The answer hinges on distinguishing between cases (1) and (2). Pauly explains that if the quantity of care declines along with price then that signals a trend toward monopsony insurers. A monopsonistic insurer achieves lower prices by holding down demand. On the other hand, if the quantity of care does not decline with price then that signals a trend away from monopolistic providers.
At least two papers have used the theory expressed by Pauly to test whether insurer market concentration reflects monopsony power or monopoly-busting power. In Do HMOs Have Monopsony Power? (International Journal of Health Care Finance and Economics 1(1), 2001) Feldman and Wholey found that HMOs used their market clout to offset the monopoly power of hospitals. They also found no evidence of monopsonistic behavior with respect to physician services.
The findings of Bates and Santerre (Do Health Insurers Possess Monopsony Power in the Hospital Services Industry? International Journal of Health Care Finance and Economics 8(1), 2008 [free working paper version]) are consistent with those of Feldman and Wholey. Greater health insurer market concentration is not associated with monopsony power and suggests that insurers use their power to offset monopolistic providers.
Taken together, the articles reviewed above indicate that insurer market power should not be the focus of attention. Instead, provider (hospital) market consolidation ought to be more closely examined. I would be overstepping my knowledge of the literature to say that antitrust action against large provider groups is the key to more competitive health care markets, but the papers I described above are consistent with that idea. But what of the consolidation implied by the notion of accountable care organizations (ACOs)? I raised this question in a prior post. Some commentators have already pointed out that ACO-type incentives have led to provider consolidation. I hope policymakers are paying attention.
On the other hand, how do you think Democrats will get/keep provider organizations on board? Not by threatening to break them up, that’s for sure.

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THESE THEY ARE SO AMAZING!!!
I received a free sample package of Pringle Stix Jalapeno flavour in my P&G;brand sampler. Now I’m not big on anything that is hot in any way and thought there’s no way I’m even going to try these. However I was starving at the time and thought one small bight can hurt me. To my surprise a really liked the Jalapeno flavours. They weren’t to hot at all and have a nice buttery taste to them, almost like a Ritz cracker. The stix were thinner than a pretzel is, but have a nice snap to them and are made from baked wheat. I didn’t even taste the jalapeno flavour at first, but it does fallow after you swallow it. Like I said it wasn’t over powering for me like I thought it would be and I actually enjoyed them so much I ate the whole bag. So whether you like jalapeno flavour or not I say give them a try you might be surprised like I was and find your self a nice new little snack. .

FUQ….! We say that a lot in conversations, both casual and academic, about self-defense training it because is so often dismissed outright. When we press the issue, asking, “But what is your concern about self-defense training?”, we start to uncover the assumptions people sometimes hold that they can’t easily challenge, because they don’t even ask the question! We therefore offer you our Top 10 Frequently Unasked Questions (FUQs) about empowerment self-defense, along with our answers.
1. Q: Do empowerment self-defense teachers actually know the realities of who assaults whom, or do they naively believe all rapists are strangers who jump out of the bushes? A: Yes! Empowerment self-defense instruction is informed by the data on violence against women, and so these instructors know very well that women are more likely to be attacked by someone they know – an acquaintance, a friend, an intimate. Empowerment self-defense training includes the dynamics and responses to sexual assault by known perpetrators as well as strangers. Without asking this FUQ, you might have the impression that this training is about karate chopping strangers and street fighting.
2. Q: Do empowerment self-defense teachers realize some women have frozen during an assault because they were so shocked it was taking place? A: Absolutely. “Freezing” is a common and natural response when the body is flooded with adrenaline as part of a fear response. Empowerment self-defense training teaches women to minimize how long that response lasts by creating realistic assault scenarios and teaching women to breathe, focus, yell, and fight. Adrenaline then facilitates women’s ability to fight back, rather than interfering with it.
3. Q: Do empowerment self-defense teachers realize that a lot of women are impaired by drugs or alcohol when they are assaulted? A: They do; in empowerment self-defense training, women learn that drugs and alcohol can impair their ability to respond in an assault situation, and that at times, perpetrators deliberately use drugs or alcohol to create impairment to facilitate an assault. Women are reminded that while drugs and alcohol are risk factors for assault, the responsibility for assault always lies with perpetrator, and never the target/victim/survivor. Moreover, empowerment self-defense training increases the likelihood that women can and will have options to respond, even with some impairment from drugs or alcohol.
4. Q: Do empowerment self-defense teachers train women in anything other than karate chopping and throwing someone to the ground? A: “Karate chopping”? What is this, 1970? 🙂 Empowerment self-defense training uses a range of physical and verbal strategies that are demonstrated to be effective in thwarting assault. While some empowerment self-defense instructors have a martial arts background, the techniques taught and practiced in empowerment self-defense are simpler to master in a matter of hours, not years, of training. And the verbal skills are of equal importance to the physical techniques; women learn that they are entitled to set and maintain their own boundaries, and the words and language to calmly and assertively do so; the physical techniques are designed to maximize women’s areas of strength, and to target areas of vulnerability on the perpetrator.
5. Q: Do empowerment self-defense teachers even realize that the gender norms and expectations in our society encourage women to be nice and pleasing, not mean and aggressive? A. They certainly do. Gender socialization is an explicit topic in the psychoeducation that accompanies the verbal and physical strategies taught in empowerment self-defense, and women are encouraged to try and practice different traits and behaviors, regardless of what they have been taught or what feels “natural”. Just like for drugs and alcohol, women are not blamed for being targeted for assault by virtue of their “niceness”; niceness is not asking for it. However, our (un)questioning friends, women’s socialization and adherence to – and access to – stereotypical gender norms varies in multiple ways, and women in empowerment self-defense courses are understood to have different socialization experiences. See Question 6!
6. Q: Do empowerment self-defense classes recognize the way gender is not the only form on inequality– that women’s experiences are in fact filtered by physical ability, age, religion, race, ethnicity, size, etc.? A: Um, yes! Intersectionality, or the concept that our identity is multi-faceted and that systems of oppression…well, intersect around different aspects of identity (thank you, Kimberle Crenshaw) is critical in understanding violence against women, and the differences in violence that different women experience.
7. Q: Do empowerment self-defense classes assume you have to be young and fit to learn and/or use self-defense? A: Absolutely not! (as the increase in our aches and pains in our 20+ years of work with empowerment self-defense can attest). For example, Prepare Inc., the NYC-based chapter of IMPACT (c) Personal Safety, address that very issue on their web site: “This system of self-defense is appropriate for all ages, all levels of fitness, and all body types. You will discover and learn to enhance your own body’s natural strengths. Limited class size ensures individual attention and personalized instruction, including accommodations and adaptations for pre-existing injuries, physical disabilities and learning challenges.”
8. Q: Are advocates of empowerment self-defense assuming that we shouldn’t teach men not to rape, and making only women responsible for addressing violence against women? A: Are swim instructors assuming we should fire all the life guards? Are nutritionists assuming we don’t need any FDA regulations? Are…okay, you get the idea – and NO! Teaching women to effectively defend themselves against sexual assault is a critical aspect of combating violence against women, and with more demonstrated efficacy in reducing rates of sexual violence than programs targeting rape myths, norms around masculinity, and bystanders, but NO EMPOWERMENT SELF-DEFENSE INSTRUCTORS ASSUME THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. Sigh. Forgive the yelling. We just say this A LOT.
9. Q: Do empowerment self-defense classes teach about how to get help if you’ve been assaulted? A: Empowerment self-defense training focuses on all critical issues around gender violence and sexual assault; in addition to verbal and physical safety strategies, instructors talk about awareness, interpersonal dynamics, and self-care – before an assault is imminent, in the face of assault, and after being targeted or attacked, regardless of whether the assault was attempted or completed. Women are encouraged to be aware of what they need, and to believe they are entitled to get it.
10. Q: Are empowerment self-defense classes blaming women who did not fight back when assaulted for being assaulted? A. Never. Empowerment self-defense training is designed with the goal of increasing women’s options and choices – in life and in the face of assault. Instructors work to provide women with knowledge, skills, and resources; they trust women to make the choices that are best and safest for themselves, and they respect those choices, whether women choose to resist an assault or not, and whether the assault is thwarted or completed.

For reporting price changes, SushiSwap utilizes a number of decentralized oracles. The list includes SushiSwap's TWAP oracle as well as Compound's Open Price feed, as well as oracles built by Chainlink. Additionally, arbitrageurs help in delivering precise prices' by minimizing price variations across every trading pair.

In addition, arbitrageurs help in delivering exact prices' by reducing the price variances on every trading pair.
As of this writing, SushiSwap sits at number six on the DeFi Pulse leaderboard. It hosts an aggregate of $3.69 billion of collateralized assets. However the biggest competitor Sushiswap is fifth on the list and holds $3.97 billion.
The DEX has a large part of its success to savvy and strategic thinking. Through introducing superior features to their rivals, SushiSwap reached more than $1.6 billion in liquid assets in just one month. But since the features were only temporary as was the platform's popularity. Certain controversies did not aid either and SushiSwap changed from being DeFi's top project to the most unpopular.
This meant that nobody wanted to alter this protocol over the course of months. It wasn't until the new developers started developing SushiSwap to make the swap more secure that it was able to gain the trust of the community.
SushiSwap Exchange SushiSwap Exchange allows users to swap any ERC20 token for any other token ERC20 using automatic liquidity pools. The Swap page is an example. It was only when new developers started developing SushiSwap when the swap was able to win back the trust of the community.

Everyone of course knows the movie. Not everyone knows the book. This happens a lot of course. I was in the same situation.
I've now read the book. It's nice. It took me quite a while to get into the book. It seems to start very very slow. But once things start happening, the book is very nice. I ended up really enjoying the book. And eventually, you remember your last impression, not your first impression ;)

JACK GOMME : FROM 1985 TO NOW
Between Dieter Rams' design and Morrissey's rhythms, Japanese minimalism and warm Minorcan colors, Paul Droulers and Sophie Rénier take the challenge, in 1985, to create simple, practical, light and accessible bags and accessories.
In 1986, the FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DES ARTS DE LA MODE DE HYÈRES (HYÈRES INTERNATIONAL FASHION ARTS FESTIVAL) dedicated their joyful hybrid dresses and bags.
Paul seems to have lived a thousand lives; an exceptional sailor who crossed the Atlantic solo, he designs prototypes in his workshop in the Buttes Chaumont in Paris. He likes light, solid, pragmatic materials that remind him of the robustness of his sailboat. Sophie is an aesthete, passionate about minimalist architecture, contemporary dance, typography, colors and their harmonies. Both of them care more than anything about a product anchored in urban reality, honest and beautifully crafted.
JACK WHO ? GOMME, JACK GOMME
Playful and offbeat, the name JACK GOMME also makes sense because our first collections used Bulgomme, an atypical material reminiscent of Arte Povera.
AN ULTRA-LOCAL BRAND
100% of the products are developed in Paris, 97% of the bags are made in France. The materials are sourced with the greatest care while favoring eco-responsible certifications.
JACK GOMME's mission is to bring to the urban everyday life of the largest number of people light bags and accessories, with simple designs, cheerful colors and solid materials. They are accessible to all, well thought out, pragmatic and fairly priced.
HUMOR, ORIGINALITY AND AVANT-GARDISM
The JACK GOMME collections always have an original surprise in store, often funny and ahead of its time, thanks to the personality of their creators and the artistic world in which they evolve.
Jack Gomme bags are inspired by the simple and efficient lines of urban architecture.
Their lightness is one of their essential and unavoidable qualities. The bags are solid, impeccably made and finished.
Designed for urban adventure, Jack Gomme bags are inspired by the evolving habits and attitudes of people moving around town. Their pragmatism allows them to adapt to escapades and travel.
HONESTY - FAIR PRICE
Since 1985, Jack Gomme's creations have had to be accessible to the greatest number of people. Paul and Sophie make it a point of honor to ensure that their bags are fairly and transparently priced, while respecting ethical manufacturing rules.
The brand's flagship line, LIGHT, has gone 100% vegan as of Winter 2021. The leathers are selected with the greatest care, the tanning is vegetable, the models are all created in Paris and almost all produced in France. The future Escape - Upcycled Marine Plastic line will be made of recycled nylon from the sea bed.
ETHICAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Development of prototypes in the Parisian workshop, production in France, permanent sourcing of environmentally friendly materials and packaging, priority given to certifications such as OEKO-TEX® for example, raising the awareness of the teams to environmental issues, and making logistics partners responsible are all subjects that Paul & Sophie is committed to. Lovers of the oceans and nature, each step is ethically thought out and each impact is analyzed so that the carbon footprint is as small as possible.
Prométhée Humanitaire is an association that helps street children in Senegal, Haiti and Madagascar in order to protect them and offer them the chance to grow up in a stable, healthy and loving environment. The association lives thanks to donations of unsold items from designers from all over the world (clothes, fashion accessories, tableware, art and decoration objects). These pieces are sold by the association and help finance their multiple actions.
The first AIDES Fashion Sale was organized in the early 90's with the objective of raising funds to open a place of welcome and healing in Paris. This sale takes place twice a year, in June and December, and offers new items, mostly from recent or current collections. All profits go to AIDES, to finance its prevention, screening and awareness-raising activities.
THE COLLECTIONS: 3 ESSENTIAL LINES
The LIGHT Line was created from a Japanese coated fabric, with the particularity of being both resistant, waterproof and ultra light. Moreover, it requires very little water in its manufacture. The success of this line has lasted for 10 years and crosses fashions and generations. Designed for everyday use and travel, each volume takes shape with its container, ensuring absolute freedom. To add a chapter to our values, the light becomes vegan.
Unisex and pragmatic line, it has been developed both to move in an urban world and to escape outside the city walls. Backpacks, weekenders and fanny packs make it an efficient proposal for busy days and light trips. From the Spring Summer 2022 collection, the ESCAPE line is also available in SEAQUAL® YARN. SEAQUAL INITIATIVE is a collaborative community fighting against plastic pollution. SEAQUAL® YARN has OEKO-TEX® Class 100 and GRS certifications.
The ATELIER Line includes leather goods in different leathers, as well as a summer offer in linen and winter in wool. At JACK GOMME, leather is worked in all its forms with the primary desire not to alter this noble material thanks to natural and non-abrasive products. For this, the leather is selected in the best regions of the world. The leather is tanned in France with natural vegetable agents before fixing the color with a varnish finish obtained without solvents.

As school started Jan. 9, so did the homework. As always, the first week of school would include a lot of introduction assignments. I usually do these assignments as fast as I can to get them completed.
This year, one of these assignments did a little more than help me get acquainted with my teacher and my classmates—it helped me get re-acquainted with myself.

In order to run properly, a car needs oil. Without oil, with too little of it, or with old and worn out oil, the engine can be severely damaged or destroyed. Oil is responsible for lubricating all major components of the engine, reducing the wear and tear on the engine, and helping dissipate the heat generated by the engine.
The oil should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that there is enough oil in the engine and that it hasn’t become contaminated. It is a good idea to check the oil level about once a month and if the levels are low, you should add oil to the vehicle. Checking the oil and adding oil to a car are pretty simple operations that most people can handle on their own.
Here is an overview of how to check the oil in your car:
How to check the oil
Allow the car to cool - Let the vehicle cool down before attempting to check the oil.
Open the hood - In most vehicles the hood release lever is located on the left hand side of the steering column, under the dash.
Release the hood - Feel under the hood for the release latch to get the hood completely open.
Prop the hood - Once the hood is open, use the hood prop stick to keep the hood up.
Locate the oil dipstick - In most vehicles the handle of the dipstick is yellow. In a front wheel drive vehicle the dipstick will be located near the front of the engine, whereas the dipstick on a rear wheel drive vehicle will be towards the center of the engine.
Remove and reinsert the dipstick - Pull the dipstick out and wipe if off with a clean towel. This ensures the correct measurement. Reinsert the dipstick all the way and then pull it out again to examine the film of oil on the dipstick.
Tip: If the dipstick gets stuck on the way back in, turn it around. The pipe it fits into is curved and the dipstick bends in the direction of the pipe. If you have any issues getting the dipstick back in, pull it out and wipe it clean again.
Inspect oil level - There should be two marks on the dipstick indicating “add” and “full levels. The film of oil should fall between these two marks. If it is close to the “add” mark or lower than the “add” mark, the vehicle needs more oil.
Tip: If your vehicle is consistently indicating a need for oil, there is probably a leak in the system, which should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
Note: Certain vehicles, especially newer European vehicles, do not use a dipstick. If you cannot find the dipstick, consult your owner’s manual for instructions on how to check the oil in your specific vehicle.
Determine the color of the oil - Rub some of the oil between your fingers and look at the color. If the oil is black or brown in color, then this is normal. If the color is a lighter milky color, this may indicate the radiator is leaking coolant into the oil and is in need of repair.
Note: If you feel any particles in the oil, this could indicate damage to the engine, so you should have a certified mechanic inspect the car as soon as possible.
Checking your oil is a painless and easy task that is essential to properly maintaining your car. It is a part of car maintenance that the average car owner can perform with little hassle and that will help keep your vehicle in top condition. When you are completed, you can then add oil to your car.

1947 Bentley Mk VI Special - “Black Adder 6”
A stunning and wickedly powerful special, this car started life as a 1947 Bentley standard steel saloon. It was the 23rd Bentley Mk VI built after World War II. In the 1970’s, this car was rebuilt as the 4th Donington Special. It was raced in the UK and competed in a number of events, winning the Bentley Drivers Club’s Kensington Show Best in Class (Modified Crewe Bentley) in 1979 and 1983. In 2005, its current owner decided it could use a full makeover. The car was completely stripped to a bare frame and a new custom, aluminum boat-tailed body was fabricated by hand. At the same time, every mechanical component was meticulously refurbished, almost entirely out of parts from the “Factory Parts Bin.”
In addition to its new aluminum body and cycle fenders, B46 AK features a specially built Bentley 4.9 liter straight six engine with a Continental “big valve” cylinder head and twin SU carbs. This engine is mated to a center-shift, high-ratio, manual 4-speed R-Type Continental transmission. Cooling is handled through a custom-fabricated radiator and the 24-gallon gas tank gives the car tremendous range on the track or in time/distance events. The original Donington chassis was largely unchanged, though special modifications were made for the steering column and a new bulkhead was fitted. In keeping with Bentley engineering practice, all controls are run through linkages, entirely sourced from pre-war Bentley and Rolls-Royce parts. It has a large trunk (boot) space for necessary storage.
The interior is beautifully upholstered in tan leather (by a known Pebble Beach upholsterer) with a walnut dashboard and full instrumentation completes the driver’s experience. This special also boasts a large boot and two “Zeppelin” wing steps that double as lockable storage.
The result is a blisteringly fast, yet well-mannered and tractable Bentley roadster that upholds the tradition of these special cars. Completed in 2012, the project was featured in 2011 in the Bentley Drivers Club Review magazine in a two-part article titled “The Third Life of B46 AK.” It has appeared in Sports and Classics magazine (UK) and is listed in Michael Hay’s Bentley Specials and Special Bentley’s, Volume 1.
In its present form, the car won Best in Class at the 2016 “Britain on the Green” which took place at Gunston Hall, Virginia. It was exhibited at and won the 2013 British Invasion Concours d’Elegance in its class. Additionally, it won Best of Show and Best in Class at the 2015 “Britain on the Green” which took place at Gunston Hall, Virginia. It was also the first Bentley Special permitted to be judged by the RROC and won a third in class in 2015. It can probably be re-registered in the UK as HXN-2.
“Black Adder” is not only an outstanding example of the Bentley Special, it is a tribute to modern coach building and design. It is ready to tour, show, or race as its new owner desires. Offers near $ 95,000.

Watch how Bret Easton Ellis treats the Opera of Paris with millennials in mind. Figaro is a 4:06 film packed with artistic experimentation with original content by known creators hoping to attract said younger, more fast-moving and mobile audience. With American Psycho flavor sprinkled throughout, you're left surprised when your new grooming routine is not revealed. However, we do appreciate the decadence at play, and the comical undercurrents throughout. Like opera, the highs and lows of the film undoubtedly get the masses engaged with the "high art" in present-day times.

Physicians for Human Rights, Amnesty International, and the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran sent a letter to Iranian authorities on November 25 to ask for a full, transparent and independent investigation into the suspicious death of Dr. Ramin Pourandarjani, a physician who had examined prisoners wounded and killed during the 2009 Iranian election protests. Dr. Pourandarjani, 26, reportedly died of a heart attack in his sleep at police headquarters in Tehran on November 10.The letter states:
We strongly urge that this investigation be thorough, impartial and independent and we also urge you to ensure that internationally respected forensic experts be invited to assist in such investigations. We respectfully draw to your notice that experienced forensic specialists from Physicians for Human Rights, would be willing to assist in the investigation.
Dr Pourandarjani graduated with distinction from the University of Tabriz and was doing his two-year national service at the Kahrizak detention center in Tehran during the June 2009 protests.Many protestors were held in Kahrizak where they were allegedly tortured and ill treated. At least three detainees reportedly died of their injuries, including Mohsen Ruholamini, the son of a senior conservative politician. Following his death, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered the closure of Karhizak. Although Iranian authorities have promised to investigate the ill treatment of detainees at Kahrizak, no prosecutions have yet been announced.The Washington Post reported on November 18:
A parliamentary committee plans to issue a report soon on the Kahrizak prison, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency said. The makeshift detention center was closed in July on the orders of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, because of substandard conditions.The prison became the focus of a rare investigation into police conduct after the death of Mohsen Rouholamini, the son of a former senior Health Ministry official. Authorities said he and two others died of meningitis, but Rouholamini's father said his son was tortured to death.Former presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi, a Shiite cleric, publicly accused security forces in August of having tortured and raped detainees in Kahrizak, an allegation that government officials denied. In a raid on Karroubi's office in September, security forces confiscated witness reports, names and addresses.
Dr. Pourandarjani had reportedly examined Mr. Ruholamini two days before he died. The doctor reportedly stated to Iranian MPs: “He was brought to me after being physically and severely tortured. He was in a grave physical condition and I had limited medical supplies, but I did my best to save him. It was then that I was threatened by the authorities of Kahrizak that if I disclose the cause of death and injuries of the detainees, I will cease to live.”Defending colleagues at risk is at the core of PHR's work. Physicians for Human Rights was founded in 1986 after Dr. Jonathan Fine and a group of US physicians visited Chile to advocate for the release of imprisoned health professionals. Since then, PHR has rigorously defended health professional colleagues and pressured governments for their release, supplementing secondary material with firsthand research and investigation.

Thinking of having a Balcombe Place Wedding? I cannot think of many places that are finer in Sussex for that chilled-out, luxe, weekend wedding vibe. Recently, Balcombe Place opened its mighty fine doors for us to host another of Photography Farm‘s Shoot Days there. These are portfolio building days for wedding photographers. It was a huge privilege to have access to the house and it’s glorious grounds. My co-host on this one was the ever brilliant Benjamin Wheeler. It was such a joy to see him work and see how much the attendees took away.
Our plan with this particular Shoot Day was to focus on the celebration parts of weddings. Like the toasts and the first dance. Alex, the incredible stylist and planner came up with the idea for a table plan made up of helium balloons at the entrance to the ballroom at Balcombe Place. These are some of my favourite images from the day featuring Brontë and Lewis.
Let’s sway, while colour lights up YOUR FACE. Let’s sway, sway through the crowd to an empty place …

The BBC is planning to put its vast archives online, including its massive collection of TV and radio programs, and it sounds like they'll make them available to the public to boot.
Mr Dyke [director general of the BBC] said on Sunday that everyone would in future be able to download BBC radio and TV programmes from the internet. The service, the BBC Creative Archive, would be free and available to everyone, as long as they were not intending to use the material for commercial purposes, Mr Dyke added.
As it currently stands, there is no information available about how they're planning to pull this off. Obviously many people will be eager to hear about the formats that will be available, since cross-platform compatibility would likely be a major design goal for any such project. This is, frankly, simply a great idea. But getting from idea to implementation is going to be tough, and I don't think many people will find much use for low bitrate, tiny streaming feeds of Ground Force. Something tells me we won't see GE, Viacom, or Disney take this route anytime soon, and PBS already has enough financial troubles as it is. I'm not sure how any of this relates to TV licensing in the UK, if it relates at all. I imagine the cost of providing the archive to the entire Earth would be considerable.
On a related note: I took the plunge the other day and got the trial "superpass" for the Real Player. If anyone out there likes that service, I'd love to hear about it. So far, I have been horribly disappointed, and I went into it with really low expectations. Nothing seems to work. Sometimes you have to wait up to two minutes for the player to connect to content servers, and then sometimes you don't even get video. The radio stations seem decent, but there's plenty of free ones out there that are better.

The three big operators — Southeastern, Southern and South West Trains — said they could not run a "normal" service because of the weather. The firms would normally carry more than 350,000 commuters into London during the morning peak.
Services were forced to a crawl on most routes into London, with frozen tracks and points adding to the delays. Trains broke down because of snow blowing into air intakes and short-circuiting motors — a repeat of the Eurostar problems. A stricken train blocked lines at London Bridge, one of the capital's busiest stations.
Southeastern, the busiest commuter company serving routes into Charing Cross, Cannon Street, London Bridge and Victoria, changed its entire timetable to a much-reduced "Saturday" service.
There were no direct services into Cannon Street during the morning peak, with passengers having to change at London Bridge.
Southern, which includes the Victoria-to-Brighton line, substituted a revised timetable on many routes, while National Express East Anglia services to and from Liverpool Street were ordered to slow to 60mph on the treacherous tracks — though many would have been lucky to reach that speed.
London Bridge virtually shut down at one stage last night and there were reports of scuffles between passengers trying to board the few trains that did turn up. Commuters said they were stranded at the station for several hours after trains were cancelled and delayed.
This morning disruptions continued, but trains were said to be "half empty" as commuters were put off making the journey into work.
There were delays of up to an hour for passengers travelling into Marylebone station in London from the South Midlands and from areas to the north-west of London.
A Network Rail spokesman said it had brought in extra engineering staff to try to clear tracks. "Ghost trains" — empty of passengers — have been used during the night to try to keep the tracks clear, while other adapted trains have been spreading de-icing fluid.
Transport for London said Tube services, the DLR and London Overground were running as normal.
Bob Crow, the RMT union leader, today launched a stinging attack on Network Rail for failing to keep the tracks clear. He said: "They have not got enough staff out to keep the tracks free of ice and snow — and yet this the company is planning to axe hundreds of maintenance workers."
"The winter chaos on the railways has spread from Eurostar to the rest of the South East and other parts of the country and makes a mockery of Network Rail's plans to axe 1500 engineering jobs.
"The breakdown of services in the South East at the first sign of bad weather shows that we need more track staff not less. We are demanding that the cuts plans be scrapped and that more staff are put in place to keep our trains running."Reuse content

The early Hindu astrologers used a magnet—an iron fish compass that floated in a vessel of oil and pointed to the North. The Sanskrit word for the mariner's compass is Maccha Yantra, or fish machine. It provides direction, and, metaphorically, illumination and enlightenment. These essays began in 2006 in India. Since then, my work has expanded to Mexico, China, the European Union, and Afghanistan. Join me on a journey throughout this flat world, where Maccha Yantra will help guide our path.

Sun-Kissed Summer Bounty
This evening marked the first picking of the crop, which was a bit of a precarious task since various cacti grace the base of the tree. I enlisted my youngest son, Kevin, to join me, and the result was a glorious array of sun-burnished, pale orange fruits. We tried several and declared them perfect.
Caitlin, my youngest, who is enjoying the French countryside this week, is having the opportunity to try many a mouth-watering dessert, but she knows her mother is no slouch when it comes to sweets, and in particular, when it comes to French sweets. I began baking at age seven, producing with my cousin, Denis, a mile high cake with sea foam frosting and a chocolate drizzle. I recall that our families were so impressed that I was thereafter declared my mother’s dessert chef for her parties. When Julia Childs began her television series, my mother christened me, “The French Chef,” because I managed with aplomb to dirty every dish in the kitchen whenever I cooked.
I have also been on a mission to teach my son, Kevin, the fine art of cooking, and as he finished dinner, I told him he was going to learn to make Clafoutis d’Abricot—a French dessert that is a bit of a cross between a pudding and a cake. The typical clafoutis is made of fresh cherries, but as my daughter, Anna, best said it: we like to eat the cherries as is and we have a tree filled with apricots. The batter is nothing more than a basic pancake or crepe batter. We first whipped that up in the food processor, with Kevin doing the measuring. As soon as we left the batter to rest, we began to prepare the apricots. Because the apricots are fully organic—no sprays of any sort—they only needed a quick rinse. Into the 9-inch pan they went, along with a bit of sugar and a pat of butter. We brought the pan to a quick simmer and pulled it off the heat. Kevin poured the batter on top and in it went into the oven.
Less than fifteen minutes later, we pulled out this glorious soufflé-like dish. I served up a portion, graced it with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and dusted it with confectioner’s sugar. Not too sweet, clafoutis is a perfect light dessert—one that brings back memories of the French countryside and of sunny afternoons. Here is our recipe for Clafoutis d’Abricot, which you can enjoy with any fresh fruit you have on hand or in garden.
½ cup all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
¼ cup granulated white sugar
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ - 1 pound fresh sweet apricots
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
In your food processor or blender place the flour, salt, eggs, ¼ c. sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Process for about 45 - 60 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Once the batter is completely smooth, let it rest while you prepare the fruit.
In a large 9-inch heavy nonstick ovenproof skillet melt the butter over medium heat making sure the melted butter coats the bottom and sides of the pan. When the butter is bubbling, add the pitted apricots, skin side up. Add just enough apricots to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 T. of granulated sugar. Cook until the apricots have softened a bit and the mixture has turned into a syrup (1 - 2 minutes). Pour the batter over the apricots and bake for about 15 minutes or until the clafoutis is puffed, set, and golden brown around the edges. Do not open the oven door until the end of the baking time or it may collapse. Serve immediately with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar and vanilla ice cream or softly whipped cream. Bon appétit!

Commencement: The End of One Journey, the Beginning of the Next
Each educational endeavor we pursue has beginnings and endings. A student matriculates when s/he begins the course of study. When an individual completes that course of study from a university setting, one does not graduate. Instead, we proclaim the rite of passage unique to higher education, "Commencement." I have always loved this term. Commencement is a brilliant amalgam of the past and the future bound in a common moment.
Although I no longer serve as a professor at my beloved former institution, Pepperdine University, I have had the privilege of continuing the journey toward Commencement with some of my doctoral students whose dissertations I chaired far before I left for my present institution, Loyola Marymount University. The role of a dissertation chairperson is perhaps as unique as the term "commencement" is to higher education. It is reserved exclusively for those of the professorate who oversee the work of doctoral level students. It is a sacred trust. It requires years of commitment from the Chair, or "Faculty Advisor," as well as from the candidate. The journey can result in a bond between the two that is forged for a lifetime.The path of the dissertation is to a great degree a lonely one. A candidate completes the prescribed course of study for the doctoral degree and is then left in the hands of his/her Chair. To varying degrees, universities have support structures in the form of seminars or study groups to help a candidate through the dissertation, but principally it is the task of the Chair to serve as Virgil--the soothing voice of reason--to Dante--the individual on the journey. The path does wend its way through the Inferno, through Purgatorio, and finally to Paradiso.
I often have said to my doctoral students, “In the midst of your pursuit of the doctorate, life happens.” It is life happening that can derail doctoral students from completing the dissertation. In the midst of my own dissertation, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I needed to care for her, I needed to continue to raise my then-only child, Anna, and I needed to run a school district. Clearly, each of these monumental challenges could have served as a reason to set aside the dissertation--to become one of the dreaded "ABD's" of the planet: a candidate who completes "All but Dissertation." Instead, I did what I counsel each of my students: use the challenge—the defining moment—to move you toward, rather than away from, commencement.
I must stress that the moment-by-moment decision to complete the dissertation is not without its perils. It is perhaps why I frequently hear commencement speakers or Deans or Presidents of Universities praise the family and friends. I have seen marriages end, as did my own when I undertook doctoral studies. Some of my students have faced the death of a loved one and challenges to their own health. On the other hand, some students have added marriage or the birth of their own children to the doctoral plate. Every imaginable life passage becomes a part of the tapestry in the pursuit of the doctorate. Some of these events are tragic; other joyous. But each one returns the candidate to the question of, "Will I complete the dissertation?" Frequently, the late-night conversations I have with my dissertation students are less about data analysis and more about our purpose on this planet. I have alternately been big sister, mother, coach, mentor, and psychiatrist, depending on the need and the moment. In the midst of doctoral education, life happens.
On the occasion of this particular Commencement, the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, I had the opportunity to participate in the rite of passage of several of my former doctoral students. For me, their appreciation of my small role in their journey is exceeded only by the privilege I have of finally seeing them in the greater context of their lives--with their spouses, their children, their parents, and their friends.
I tip a toast your way, Dr. Donna Lewis and Dr. Carolyn Miller, for permitting me to serve not only as your professor, but also as the guide on the dissertation journey. I tip a toast also toward my many other doctoral students from years past, who did complete the dissertation and with whom I have celebrated. Each commencement is a reminder of those occasions of joy and of great accomplishment. In the midst of doctoral education, life happened. Let the new journey commence.

Reconfiguring the Common into the Uncommon
Following Kevin’s completion of a highly successful project—one that his teacher requested to share with the next year’s class—I carefully tucked away all of the art supplies and paper in a bag marked, “Seventh Grade Bream Project.” This spring I took out the bag and handed it to Caitlin when she came home with her detailed instructions for the project. As Caitlin is highly organized and independent in her learning, I recognized that I would have to prod less to make sure she was staying on target with her project. I did know that any of us is subject to procrastination, however, and wanted to make sure Caitlin had everything she needed to be successful.
Once our kitchen table became transformed into a full-time artist’s studio, I moved meals to the dining room. Caitlin had full run of the table, which was resplendent with newspapers, small plastic plates that served as her palettes, a large water glass, tubes of acrylic paints, and a dozen or more brushes. I must confess I enjoyed watching her project unfold from pristine, white canvas to washed canvas to one that expressed in its own unique manner the profound, absurdity of Magritte’s The Gradation of Fire. When she completed her work only several nights ago to much celebration, I found myself quite perplexed as to what to do with the beautiful confusion that now graced the table. The process had been as remarkable to watch as the product was to behold, and I reflected on her challenges and successes of the many weeks of work.
“I cannot get the colors to blend properly, Mom!”
“Don’t the flames look great?”
“The paint keeps dripping. I am so frustrated.”
“ I love how everything seems to be on fire.”
“I’ve run out of burnt umber and I need it now.”
I hadn’t the heart to change anything, and so, as I gazed at Caitlin with signed painting in hand and the table-studio, I did nothing but stack the palettes of dried paint and organize the brushes. As Caitlin began completing the writing portions of the assignment, she asked me one day, “Mom, why did Mr. Bream have us do this project?” To address her teacher’s writing prompt, she had already come up with several ideas on her own, and as I looked at her, and then toward the art supplies, and finally back at her once again, I offered, “Perhaps it is because art is reconfiguring the common into the uncommon.”
Reconfiguring the common into the uncommon. Inspiration struck. I asked Caitlin if she had any plans to use some of the plates, the stained paper, the damaged paint brushes, or the empty tubes of color. Would she mind terribly if I made a collage from her discarded supplies? I explained to her that I intended to take those common things and create something new and different.
As I launched into the design of the collage, another thought came to mind. Was this not another of Mr. Bream’s reasons for the project—so that our children might serve as muses to us all? With all of the contagions on the planet, this was one of the best of viruses any of us could hope to catch.
Elizabeth C. Reilly is most importantly Caitlin Reilly’s mother, but also a former high school English teacher who now serves as Professor of Educational Leadership at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

Down and Out in Malibu
I vaguely recalled the store was not opened 24 hours a day any longer because of the economic situation, but I was not certain. Large stacks of firewood and cases of water surrounded the entrance to the store. I noted a man loading bundles of the firewood into the rear of a new, pearl-colored Mercedes Benz.
Great, the store must be open, I concluded.
As I approached the front door, I bumped into the glass. I could see employees, but as I knocked, thinking perhaps the door was stuck, no one inside responded to me.
The man with the purloined wood quipped, “Well, I guess I just got free firewood.”
As if that wasn’t the plan all along, I thought. He jumped into the backseat of the shiny car and the driver sped off. A full-blown heist in Malibu.
I went to the other door to let the employees know that someone was walking off with their merchandise. The produce man stacked apples inside. I knocked. I called to him. He paid no attention to me.
After collecting the athletes and dropping them off at their high school, I returned to Ralph’s, which was then opened. I looked around for the manager, who usually hovers around the check-out stands. No manager. I concluded my shopping, winding my way through the stockers and their pallets of soda and chips, and went to check out.
“You know,” I reported to the clerk,” I was here around 6 a.m., but you were closed. Some guy in a new Mercedes Benz was walking off with your firewood, and I tried to notify the employees, but no one inside would even so much as look at me.”
“You don’t say,” she replied, less amazed that her colleagues had done nothing and more amazed with my tale.
“Funny thing,” the customer behind me remarked. “There’s a guy in a new Mercedes Benz selling firewood out on the Pacific Coast Highway this morning.”
We all laughed uproariously.
What is not uproariously funny, I noted as I drove back home, is the ghost town appearance of the Pacific Coast Highway these days. My twenty-seven miles of white, sandy beach are littered with shuttered businesses. Pet Headquarters, the former haunt of the rich and famous for chi-chi cats and dogs, doggie designer handbags, and biscotti is gone. It was one of my children’s favorite places, but one where “if you had to ask the price, you couldn’t afford it.” Our rule was, “You can look and pet the pooches, but the moment you ask to purchase one, your mother disappears down the highway with you in tow.” One time I asked how much they wanted for a cat that my son was petting: a cool, five thousand dollars.
“Cats are free agents,” I muttered. “Who on earth would pay for a cat?”
Numerous realty offices have closed. Restaurants—only having opened in the last year—are gone not with a bang but a whimper. On a recent weeknight, a colleague and I caught the late show at our tiny movie theatre. I inquired as to the many businesses closed around us and one young woman said the plan was to replace them with designer shops.
I burst into laughter. “Are you kidding me? Who can afford Juicy Couture and Ralph Lauren these days, if ever? And more shops are coming?” I am not holding my breath.
It gets worse, though. On the online list serve for Malibu High School parents, recent postings included one mother’s request for old books so that she could sell them to make ends meet. Another was looking for part-time housekeeping to pay her bills. Could this be the bastion of double-wides that only a year back sold for a minimum of a cool million? When the track and field coach offered to order sports bags for around $30 per athlete, a parent offered to buy an additional bag for a student who could not afford it. But in a place where appearances can mean everything and reality little, would any parent actually step forward and say he could not afford this for his child?
The ugly truth is that this global economic crisis has infiltrated into the haven of the rich and famous. As surely as the fog slips over the ocean and up the canyons at night, the financial downturn has settled over us as a death shroud. I’ve heard tell of those in town who lost millions to Bernie Madoff’s make off. And that was after everyone’s 401K’s tanked. My realtor friend told me that the number of foreclosures in town is record-breaking. You can count more For Sale signs than surfboards these days. She, herself, hasn’t sold a home in a year. I’ve come to ask my friends how their “AK 47’s” are doing, which they find hopelessly amusing, given that I hang in war zones with bodyguards who tote them with as much grace as the actresses with their Louis Vuitton handbags at Nobu.
And therein lay the stark and odd contrasts. Nobu still has a crowd. The new restaurant, Charlie's, which just opened across from the Malibu Pier, was packed last Thursday night. Each dessert is eight dollars and most tables were ordering them. Just yesterday, Rosenthal Winery’s Tasting Room by Beau Rivage Restaurant was overflowing with tasters imbibing—and it’s not free, either. Someone, somewhere is still flush. But who? Or, are they really?
What I have told my children is this: In a world such as we are in at present, there is a circle-the-wagons mentality that can take hold. It consists of two aspects: first, we pretend that everything is just fine and belly up to the bar, prices be damned. Second, we hold the sneaking suspicion that it is awful out there beyond our little enclave—and perhaps even within our own walled city—but we are going to hoard and refuse to share. It’s not unlike what you faced when you were five and the kid in your kindergarten class would not give up the stuffed dog you wanted to hold.
There is, however, another way to view this time, and it really is a choice. A couple of nights ago on The Colbert Report, Princeton philosophy professor Peter Singer was presenting his new book, The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty. In Colbert’s perfectly cheeky manner, he questioned why any of the remaining wealthy would want to share, including himself in his expensive alligator shoes. And whatever would the poor do with his Audi? Dr. Singer asked this question:
“If you were walking by the lake and you saw a child drowning, would you risk your alligator shoes and jump in and save her or keep going?"
Singer challenges us to recognize that drowning children are all around us. I would add that they are not even that far beyond our doorstep, if we only choose to pay attention. Furthermore, he impels us to face the moral imperative of doing something about it.
I go a bit beyond Dr. Singer, though. I believe that we are in the midst of a defining moment as civil society. It is not only that people are starving, but that they are starving for a voice and a place that matters. As I reflect on the tens of thousands of lawyers in Pakistan who are taking to the streets this very day who are hungry for a just society; the millions of Afghan children who are hungry for an education; and the people in my own state who are hungry for meaningful work, I recognize I cannot afford to wring my hands and worry only about myself.
Robert Frost reminds us that, “The best way out is always through.” I would suggest that the only way out is by taking the hands of others and then proceeding through. Take a moment today to decide where you can help someone who is starving—for a meal, for a voice, for a purpose. Now, leave the wagon and take action. My hunch is you will find your own belly, heart, and mind full, as well.

Hafa Adai: Over One-half a World Away
"I had to laugh when you gave me the address for your hotel here on Saipan. We don't use addresses! When you land, you'll understand everything."
It dawned on me that what the locals call their "tiny speck in the ocean" where I would spend the next two weeks would be easily navigable. When I have told people I was coming to Saipan, the reactions have been somewhat similar.
"Spain should not be so cold this time of year."
"You'll love the sushi in Japan."
"I do not know anyone who goes to Saigon."
Saipan. The Commonwealth of the United States of America. That means it is ours. It is us. Saipan became affiliated with the USA following World War II, when we took it from the Japanese, who took it from the Germans, who in turn took it from Spain, who took it from the indigeneous peoples--the Chamorro and Carolinians, which still do live here. Saipan, which is part of a necklace of islands called the Mariana Islands, is in the area of the Pacific Ocean we call Micronesia. It is barely 35 minutes from Guam and has two, other close neighbors, Tinian and Rota--two additional tinier specks in the ocean. Off the coast of azure water rest at least three US aircraft carriers that stand poised to protect Saipan and her sister islands, should the need arise. Unlike a lot of the places I spend time, I do not see soldiers wielding AK-47s. Its ethos is a great deal similar to Hawaii in terms of weather, food, and sensibility.
To get to Saipan is a several step endeavor even from California. You can fly to Narita International in Tokyo, drop down to Guam, and then hop down to Saipan or you can fly through Honolulu, and then follow the route through Guam and onto Saipan. What I do know is that it results in about 6,500 frequent flier miles each way, a cross over the International Date Line, and 18 time zones beyond California.

Reunion Across Sixteen Time Zones
Daily I experience the remarkably few degrees of separation between others and me in this very flat world. Back in April in Boston, I met William Valentino, a Vice President with Bayer China, whose daughter worked in Kabul, Afghanistan, from where I had only returned days before. Who hangs out in war zones, let alone works in them? Yet there it was: Bill’s daughter and me in the same land-locked country in South Asia, donning hijab, helping to rebuild a nation in crisis. Bill, quite the force of nature with his vast array of social programs which he oversees in China, agreed to host my doctoral students in Beijing in May, where it just so happened was my next destination. The students were utterly taken with his work and his lifelong commitment to the nation. HIV-AIDS, rural development, education—little escapes Bayer’s touch.
Within hours of the tragic earthquake during our visit, Bayer was providing relief efforts to the victims. My tour guide in China, Lili Li, who had been in touch with Bill at my request before our arrival, asked if he was from Szechuan province. I laughed uproariously as I explained to her that Bill was not Asian, but rather a Caucasian boy from New Jersey. His Mandarin was that good, as was his navigation of Chinese restaurant protocol, where we enjoyed the choicest slices of Peking duck, thanks to his gracious manners. Following that visit, he and I learned that we were both invited to present at the Asian Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility in Singapore in November. A reunion was clearly in the making.
Singapore via Switzerland
Another reunion was also on the horizon, however. In flight between Kuala Lumpur and Bangalore in April 2006, I met Peter Andrist, Vice President of Business Development for GateGourmet, that multinational corporation that provides food for many of the airports throughout the world. (For my first story about Peter, see my blog titled Culture 101 from Tuesday, April 18, 2006.) A Swiss-born citizen whose company was based in Seattle, Washington and who lived in Bangkok, Peter Andrist is responsible for acquisitions for his company throughout Asia. Peter represents to me the epitome of a leader for the 21st century—an individual who can flow with alacrity and confidence in and out of cultures. Peter appreciates the differences between and amongst the many nations in which he finds himself and yet knows how to build bridges with people. Little daunts him and nearly everything brings a twinkle to his eyes. These past two and one-half years we have stayed in touch, although I had not had the opportunity to meet with him whilst he lived in Bangkok and to conduct a formal interview about leadership.
Around May of this year, Peter mentioned to me that he would be moving to Singapore, where coincidentally I would find myself this November, and so it was that we made a plan to meet once again and talk about leadership in a global society. In one of Singapore’s typical torrential deluges, Peter greeted me with his intense blue eyes and wide smile, and we headed to Indochine Waterfront, a marvelous restaurant featuring cuisine from several Asian nations, situated on the Singapore River in the old colonial civic district. Glasses of Sauvignon Blanc in hand, we toasted our reunion and proceeded to talk about foreign policy, Asian cuisine, corporate social responsibility, and the many things we had been doing since the time last we had met at 36,000 feet over Malaysia Airlines’ famous satay.
Over intensely spicy Thai seafood Tom Yam soup and Vit Quay Gion Ton Kin—French duck fillets grilled with herbs and spices—I reminded Peter that his love of food reflected his childhood desire to be a chef. He laughed that I had remembered this very first story he had shared with me, but added to it when I asked how it was that he embraced a world far beyond the tiny town in Switzerland in which he had grown up.
“Do not laugh, Elizabeth, but Switzerland has a Navy. Yes, I know we are land-locked, but it is so, as amusing as that is. I wanted not only to be a chef, but one aboard a large ship,” Peter added.
At age fifteen, he set off for Genoa, Italy where he caught a freighter to Lebanon.
Reflecting at the prospect of my young son, who just turned fourteen, taking off around the world on his own, I queried if this distressed his mother. Peter replied that he did not have the typical teenage vices—no drugs, no criminal intent—and so as the eldest child, he had some amount of leverage to chart his own course.
“This was just before the war in 1971 and so Beirut was simply lovely. Now, of course, it is utterly destroyed. The ship had perhaps only seven small cabins for passengers. I made friends with a Catholic priest on board. When we disembarked, the priest greeted his cargo—a new Mercedes Benz automobile filled with arms.”
“Peter,” I probed, “You know that priests take vows of poverty. What on earth was a priest doing with an expensive German car and a cache of weapons?”
“Recall I was a child,” he reminded me. “Had I been older, I would have asked such questions, but what did I know?”
Following this first taste of the world, Peter never lost his love of travel. Speaking a raft of languages fluently, he has lived in many nations and has a deep love of the varying colors of the many cultures he encounters. Ankor Wat in Cambodia? Several times. Viet Nam. The same. Egypt. Please. He lived there. I found it quite surprising, then, to learn that I had somehow managed to find myself earlier this year in a country in which Peter had never been: Afghanistan. He was utterly captivated with my stories of the challenges the Afghan people face each day: security, education, meaningful work for their hands, a roof over their heads.
“When I met the Chancellor of Kabul Medical University, he said to my student, Mirwais, and me, ‘I am going to tell you about my school, I am going to answer your questions about leadership, and at the end, I am going to ask for your help.’ Peter, that month in Afghanistan transformed me. There is much to do, much to do.”
Peter and I agreed to continue the conversation and to imagine what we might do to continue our work in the world.

Stripes: Vertical vs. Horizontal
We all know the rule: vertical stripes to make walls taller, horizontal stripes to make them longer, but what if you want the best of both worlds? Is it truly possible?
Stripes are more than just a way of stretching your walls; they are also a stylish and timeless design that suit any season. Adorn your walls with a playful pattern that guides guests through your carefully designed room, bringing in light and warmth. In a variety of colours, sizes and styles, stripes bring personality to any interior design concept.
So which will you choose, horizontal or vertical?
With a gorgeous glow of plum, lavender, grey and cream, this contemporary design shows off both bold and subtle shades to create contrasting blocks of colour. Simple to hang, all of our customer reviews rated the ease of our Java Plum wallpaper as 5 out of 5. Hanging horizontal wallpaper is a quick and easy way to dramatically improve the look and feel of your home.
These classic stripes from Kelly Hoppen cascade down your walls to add a touch of sophistication. With subtle silver lines glistening gently between each section, our Hoppen Stripe White/Prussian Blue adds a glamorous twist to this popular trend.
Perfect for both elongating walls and making them taller, the thin stripes create the illusion of wider walls by fitting more pattern into one space. The contrasting stripe sizes distract the eye from the real size of the room, making this a great choice for smaller spaces.
Don’t make your mind up just yet! Here’s another stunning monochrome stripe that you’re going to fall in love with. Designed by Julien MacDonald; this isn’t just any old plain black and white stripe. Enhanced with texture and embossed glitter, this print stays in vogue all year round and continues to delight you and your guests with its fashion forward allure.
An unexpected twist on a classic trend, the updated sparkling finish of Glitterati Black/White gives this design a bigger impact and a twinkling charm.

Visiting official tours DMI Industries
Denise Bode, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association, said the future of wind energy in the United States is bright, and states such as North Dakota are at the forefront of the wind energy movement.
Bode toured DMI Industries on Thursday, Nov. 12, and participated in a roundtable discussion with state government officials and executives from Otter Tail Corp., parent company of DMI Industries.
Afterward, Bode and DMI president Stefan Nilsson addressed members of the media and DMI employees about the positive outlook of the wind energy industry.
"This is the future," Bode said. Jobs in wind energy are sustainable forever because wind is infinite, she said. "Wind energy is clean, affordable, requires no water and is reducing America's dependency on foreign energy."
The wind energy industry added 55 manufacturing facilities and 35,000 jobs last year, Bode said. Its third quarter numbers this year are higher than last year, adding roughly 5,800 megawatts, she said.
"North Dakota is a key player in production and manufacturing" of wind energy and components, Bode said.
She also explained that key legislation from the Recovery Act has increased funding for renewable energy - such as wind - and increased manufacturing and production throughout the country.
DMI Industries, however, has not hired new employees since layoffs earlier this year when 160 workers were let go.
Nilsson said the current situation at DMI has "leveled out."
"The outlook is positive," he said. "We expect 2010 to be a better year than 2009; '10, '11, '12, should be progressively better."

This research was not presented during the conference, but was nevertheless done in preparation of it. The IFRC SRU asked Roberto to give a clear overview of what state of the art ultra light weight architecture is, and to investigate how that could be linked to and introduced in the humanitarian sheltering sector.
“This article explains how and when lightweight architecture has developed, how it works and which are its basic principles. Structures that come ready to assemble, that can be erected and disassembled in a matter of hours and have the least impact on the natural environment, while providing adequate shelter and modern amenities, are the preoccupation of several architects whose ambitions are not only toward the micro but also to the autonomous. Most of these features are not known and that’s why, in this article, foldable and expandable architecture is shown and its features highlighted. The article continues explaining how this kind of solutions can be adapted to suit the needs of the disaster affected and some of the few applications are presented. The conclusion focuses on the weak points about the application of such structures in emergencies to foresee possible fields of improvement. A detailed bibliography about the topic is provided in annex.”
There exit many discrepancies between what the academic, design, producer and humanitarian sectors consider good sheltering. Each of these actors has expertise in a different area. If we want to address these discrepancies, and bring the different expertise together in a more profitable manner, we need to lay them open on the table. This research is one step towards rendering the state of the art in light weight architecture insightful, and enabling migration of knowledge to the humanitarian sheltering shelter.

medwireNews: Patients with bipolar disorder are at increased risk for developing dementia, both pre-senile and senile, a study of a nationwide dataset in Taiwan confirms.
The findings “provide solid evidence for further investigating the underlying neuropathophysiological and pathological mechanisms that link bipolar disorder with the development of dementia,” say lead researcher Hui-Ju Tsai (National Health Research Institutes, Zhunan, Taiwan) and colleagues.
They report that bipolar disorder patients had a 4.07-fold increased risk for developing subsequent dementia, with similar risk increases for men and women, at 4.01- and 4.55-fold, respectively.
As well as a 4.57-fold increased risk for developing senile dementia, patients with bipolar disorder had a 3.77-fold increased risk for developing pre-senile dementia before the age of 65 years.
“Patients with bipolar disorder exhibited clinically identifiable signs of both pre-senile and senile dementia,” Tsai and team comment.
The associations were all significant after taking into account pertinent risk factors, such as medical and psychiatric comorbidities, the team notes.
The study, published in Bipolar Disorders, involved 64,804 individuals, aged an average of 74 years; 9304 had incident dementia first diagnosed between 2000 and 2009, and the others were dementia-free controls matched for age and gender.
The prevalence of bipolar disorder was 1.23% among dementia patients versus 0.21% among those without dementia.
The risk for dementia among patients with bipolar disorder was significantly increased for at least 5 years after bipolar disorder diagnosis, with odds ratios ranging from 3.89 for a latency period of 1 year to 4.15 for a latency period of 5 years.
The results were “remarkably consistent” across all five latency periods, the researchers report.
They say that “further research, including biochemical and brain imaging studies, will be warranted to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the early process and progression of bipolar disorder to dementia.”

Bianchi offers grant to try and lure Berkshire Carousel to city
PITTSFIELD -- Mayor Daniel L. Bianchi is offering a $250,000 city grant to lure the Berkshire Carousel to downtown.
Bianchi's proposal before the carousel's board of directors is an attempt to counter their effort to set up the amusement ride at the Berkshire Mall in Lanesborough.
"Downtown Pittsfield is the right place for it," the mayor said. "We have the concentration of people to support it and we're making a concentrated effort to bring it here."
Organizers of the community-based project have been discussing with mall management the option of housing the carousel, which is scheduled to be ready by next summer, at the shopping complex.
Since March 2010, the carousel-building workshop has been operating -- rent free -- in 6,000 square feet of mall retail space.
Carousel co-founder and president Jim Shulman didn't comment on Bianchi's proposal in an email reply to The Eagle, saying there was nothing new to report on with regard to a Pittsfield location.
"Our focus has been on the completion of the carousel," he said. The grant offer grew out of several meetings Bianchi had the past two months with Shulman, downtown business leaders, other carousel board members and city officials.
If approved by the car ousel's board and the City Council, the funding would go toward the construction of a facility to house the merry-go-round at a yet-to-be-determined downtown location.
The carousel board would be required to at least match the $250,000 amount and provide plans and cost estimates for the building. In addition, the board must expand its membership and agree to create one new job and retain another for at least five years.
Bianchi believes city residents will support the grant offer.
"[The Berkshire Carousel] is the one topic that keeps coming up when I'm out talking to people," he said.
While city councilors John M. Krol Jr. and Christine Yon haven't seen the specifics of the grant proposal, they support the city's effort to land the project in Pittsfield.
"It gives a clearly defined carrot and stick for the situation," Krol said.
Yon noted, "I do realize it's called the ‘Berkshire Carousel', but we're the heart of the Berkshires."
Since the Berkshire Carousel was conceived seven years ago, Pittsfield has been the front-runner for the privately funded project.
A vacant lot at the corner of Church and Center streets in Pittsfield has long been considered the future home for the privately funded project. Shulman, a former Pittsfield resident who lives in Galena, Ohio, spent $350,000 to buy the empty parcel next to the CVS Pharmacy on Center Street.
However, organizers estimate they could spend up to $1.5 million -- of the project's estimated $2.5 million price tag -- to prepare the site and build an enclosed exhibit hall to allow the public to enjoy the amusement ride year-round.
They say that could be cost-prohibitive, as the more than $800,000 raised to date is covering the remaining $1 million to create the early 20th century-style carousel itself.
Meanwhile, more than 200 volunteer carvers, painters and sanders continue working on the wooden horses, having completed more than half of them. All 33 equestrian masterpieces, rounding boards and other aspects of the carousel, must be finished by Dec. 15, according to carousel officials.
Once completed, the hand-crafted items will be attached to the carousel's frame and mechanism currently under restoration, according to Shulman. He expects the 1928 Herschell frame, similar to the carousel that operated more than 50 years ago at Pontoosuc Lake, to be completely restored in March.

From the sparkling waters of Perdido Key to the sun-kissed shores of Pensacola Beach, there’s more to the coastal city of Pensacola than meets the eye.
Known as one of the largest melting pots on the Gulf of Mexico, this northwest Florida beach destination is one of the USA’s oldest settlements. Featuring a lively downtown scene, fascinating history, a thriving arts community and delectable dining, Pensacola is the definition of a well-rounded paradise.
History Comes to Life in Pensacola
You’ll find more than 500 years of history begging to be explored in and around Pensacola. First up is Historic Pensacola Village, where you can tour over 20 landmark sites, including Fort George, the Old Christ Church and the 1778 British Well. The T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum offers permanent and rotating history exhibits throughout the year. If you’re seeking a bone-chilling experience, explore the paranormal side of the city with a guided ghost tour of Pensacola’s most haunted hot spots. Soul food and live jazz music are top draws in the historically African American neighborhood of Belmont-De Villiers. Stop by the Blue Dot Barbecue, where they’re kicking it old school by serving up the basics – hamburgers and ribs!

Thriving Arts and Culture
Strolling down the streets of Pensacola, you can’t ignore the community’s passion for the arts. Check out the works of modern and contemporary artists at the University of West Florida’s Pensacola Museum of Art, or try your hand at wheel throwing and stained glass at the First City Art Center. A night out on the town wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, which offers Masterworks on its mainstage and musical activities for families. Another evening option: The Saenger Theatre hosts touring Broadway shows that will get your toes tapping.

The Flavors of Pensacola
From white-tablecloth service to po’boys and craft beer, the culinary scene in Pensacola blends dynamic flavors. On Perdido Key at the Flora-Bama, choose from three dining options – all specializing in fresh seafood – beachfront Oyster Bar, family fun at the Ole River Grill or on the deck at the Yacht Club. Stop by Five Sisters Blues Café for a plate of comforting soul food – the fried green tomatoes can’t be missed. For more beachside dining, the Casino Beach Bar and Grille at the base of the Pensacola Beach Pier serves sensational seafood alongside white-sand and turquoise-water views. Don’t miss out on brunch at the George Artisan Bakery & Bistro, where you can kick off the day with a sparkling mimosa and dine on a decadent truffle mushroom omelet.

Outdoor Adventures Await
Whether it’s by bike, foot or kayak, you can answer the call to adventure in Pensacola however you see fit. Flock to Great Florida Birding Trail sites for a glimpse of the crested caracara; one favorite is Big Lagoon State Park for its Instagram-worthy photo ops of freshwater wetlands. View dolphins leaping through the surf at Pensacola Beach, or go snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Fishing from a pier is an option for those looking to reel in a big one, then end the day with an evening sightseeing cruise to experience one of Florida’s spectacular sunsets.

Fantastic Festivals and Celebrations in Pensacola
Lively festivals and cultural celebrations take place year-round in Pensacola, with the Foo Foo Festival a local favorite. Prepare to enjoy 12 fun-filled days of music, artist talks, culinary events, theater and more in late October and early November. The Pensacola Seafood Festival takes place annually in September – sample alligator, crawfish and lobster rolls. For a thrilling show in the skies, the U.S. Navy Blue Angel air shows at the National Naval Aviation Museum offers visitors a chance to watch flight demonstrations in early March through November and see shows twice a year. You also don’t want to miss the Interstate Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama beach bar, where competitors vie in a fish-throwing contest across the Alabama state line. In all honesty, it’s just an excuse to have a weekend-long beach party.

Pensacola is served primarily by the Pensacola International Airport (PNS). This gateway to the historical sites of the Gulf Coast offers access to six airlines, 19 non-stop flights, competitive rates and facilities with a wide variety of amenities. The city is also easily accessed on a Florida Gulf Coast road trip.

Edge: We're one of the fastest-growing cable networks. On OLN we showcase lifestyle activities, not professional team sports. On Speedvision, we immerse the viewer in motorsports with a lot of how-to information.
Coup: Helping Ford Motor Co. create the Mercury Cycling Team, which competes internationally. Mercury also hosts three major bicycling events. We have unique access to events, offering marketers on-site presence, broadcast and Internet coverage.
Insight: We're not delivering huge audiences, but our viewers are huge consumers of certain sports and motorsports brands. We see ourselves as a hybrid between a cable TV channel and a vertical print magazine, offering supertargeted access to passionate fans.
Working on: Developing a half-hour program on Speedvision for Porsche that will function as an on-screen test drive.
Opinion: Some people have burned out on traditional sports because they can't relate to the athletes. We offer sports the average person can do.
